Konnichwa! Here is your next part !!!! *G*

"II need a break !!!!" snorted Ranma. It was a hot day and the sun was beating down from the sky. Close to exhaustion, he sat down under a nearby tree, closed his eyes and enjoyed the shade. After a while he took a bottle out of his backpack and drank from it. ° I have no idea where she could be !!! ° he thought thoughtfully while screwing the bottle with the cool water back on. ° Where should I start looking? ° were his last thoughts before he fell asleep. He dreamed that he heard Akane's voice. She shouted something to him: "You are a failure! Why don't you find me?" she screamed angrily. The voice came closer and closer and suddenly someone began to shake him. He was absolutely sure that Akanes was the one who was shaking him. Such a powerful shaking ..... Slowly he opened his eyes, but in front of him was not Akane who shook him but another girl his age.He still couldn't think clearly when he felt something burning on his cheek. He knew what that was, he knew this feeling only too well. "Hello are you still alive?" now asked a pleasant and concerned voice. "Yes I still live!!!!" Ranma replied angrily. Slowly he was able to think again. "Come on, I'll help you up!" said the girl and held out her hand to him. He took it and was pulled up by the girl. When he was upstairs he noticed that this girl was a real beauty. She had red, wavy, shoulder length hair and the bluest eyes he had ever seen. "Hello, I am Nambasia!" said the girl smiles. "uh, I'm Ranma." he said a little embarrassed. "You look terrible, very emaciated, don't you want to come to me and eat something?" she asked pityingly. "N-no, I should actually go on, I'm just passing through ...-" but his stomach pisses him off. Nambasia laughed and pulled him with her. After about twenty meters they had come to an old farmhouse."Do you live here alone?" "No, with my parents, but they are away at the moment." She smiled and unlocked the door. Inside it was decorated in an old Japanese style. "You can go up the stairs and the first room on the right is the bathroom, as long as you bathe I'll cook something!" she said happily. Ranma walked slowly up the great stairs. He quietly opened the door and found himself in a huge bathroom. "Wow!" tell him. After undressing, he got into the tub, which would easily have been enough for 10 people. He sat down thoughtfully. ° This Nambasia is really pretty! ° he thought with a little red sheen on his nose. "But I'm here because I want to find Akane !!!" he said resolutely to himself. ° I still haven't found her! I've been looking for 3 weeks now without success! I don't have a trace of her either! The only thing I can do is ask people if they saw them. mmmh, that's good! ° he smiled and closed his eyes.After a while there was a knock on the door. "Y-yes ??" shouted Ranma who was startled from his half-sleep phase. "It's me, the meal is ready!" a friendly voice called through the door. "I'm on my way!" Ranma grinned, jumped out of the tub, dried himself off, slipped into his clothes and ran down the stairs. When he stepped into the dining room his eyes soon fell out of his head, on the huge table stood a variety of dishes as he had never seen before in his life. "WOW!!!" exclaimed Ranma. "Come sit down !!" Nambasia smiled. He didn't let himself be told twice. A few moments later he was sitting at the table, treasuring. "Tastes good?" Nambasia asked with a smile, evidently she was very flattered by the fact that Ranma smacked it so without manners. (If she only knew !!! * g *) "W-when have you been kosher since you had that?" Ranma smacked her lips. "You were in the tub for 2 1/2 hours !!" lacte them. How old are you? "Asked Ranma." 16. I found you earlier on the tree with beads of sweat on your forehead.I wasn't sure if you weren't sure. Sorry for the slap! "She grinned mischievously. Ranam liked that smile.

S. I think it has become a little longer than the previous ones. * g * HEL Nadine ^^
