All together now

    THE DOJO WAS SILENT AS TEAM RANMA SAT GLARING AT EACHOTHER. THEY STILL HAD A HARD TIME AGREEING ON HOW TO GET TO CHINA TO SAVE AKANE.
SUDDENLY, DAISHI'S PORTAL APPEARED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM. OUT
STUMBLED DAISHI, CARRYING, AKANE, KODACHI, AND RYOKO. HE FELL TO THE
GROUND UNCONSCIOUS, DROPPING THE THREE GIRLS TO THE GROUND. AT THE
IMPACT, RYOKO WOKE UP. LOOKING AROUND, SHE NOTICED THAT THEY WERE BACK AT THE DOJO.
    "WHERE AM I? THE LAST THING I REMEMBER WAS BEATING UP THE PRINCESS. AND... WHERE'S ONI?" RYOKO GOT TO HER FEET AND LOOKED AROUND. THE
PORTAL HAD CLOSED UP. "HE'S STILL AT... OH NO!" SHE WENT TO DAISHI AND
SHOOK HIM VIOLENTLY. "WAKE UP! YOU HAVE TO GET HIM!" DAISHI JUST
CONTINUED TO DOZE BLISSFULLY AS SHE DROPPED HIM BACK TO THE GROUND.
RYOUGA STEPPED FORWARD.
    "ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT A ONI HIBIKI?" RYOKO NODDED. "DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM. HE CAN TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF. HE'S MY OLDER BROTHER. I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM FOR YEARS!"
    "WHO ARE YOU?"
    "MY NAME IS RYOUGA HIBIKI."
    "AH. HEY, I THINK IT WAS YOU THAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. HE WANTED TO
BEAT YOU UP, I THINK." RYOUGA SCRATCHED HIS HEAD. RYOKO GRINNED AT
RYOUGA. SHE WALKED OVER TO UKYOU. "HEY ONEECHAN?"
    "HM?"
    "HE'S CUTE," SHE SAID POINTING TO RYOUGA. "ESPECIALLY WHEN HE LOOKS
CONFUSED LIKE THAT. YOU THINK SO? I THINK HE'D MAKE A NICE BOYFRIEND
FOR YOU." UKYOU TURNED A BRIGHT RED.
    "THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, RYOKO! UM.. HOW ABOUT RANMA?" SHE ASKED, POINTING TO THE PIGTAILED MAN ACROSS THE ROOM WHO HAD STARTED BICKERING WITH THE NEWLY RESCUED AKANE. RYOKO CONSIDERED HIM FOR A MOMENT.
    "I GUESS HE'S ALRIGHT. BUT HE LOOKS BETTER WITH AKANE." UKYOU
GRIMACED, AS DID SHAMPOO WHO OVERHEARD.
    "VIOLENT GIRL NO LOOK BETTER THAN SHAMPOO! SPATULA GIRL SISTER NO KNOW WHAT TALKING ABOUT." RYOKO SHRUGGED.
    "JUST MY OPINIONS." SHE WALKED BACK TO RYOUGA, WHO WAS STILL
CONTEMPLATING THE FACT THAT HIS OLDER BROTHER WANTED TO BEAT HIM UP.
    "RYOUGA? YOU OKAY? YOU LOOK A BIT CONFUSED."
    "HUH? OH, I'M FINE."
    "ARE YOU SURE ONI WILL BE OKAY?"
    "YEAH. I REMEMBER TIMES WHEN I WAS LITTLE WHEN HE'D DISAPPEAR BUT
ALWAYS RETURN IN ONE PIECE WITH STORIES OF HIS ADVENTURES." RYOKO
NODDED.
    "OKAY. I GUESS I WON'T WORRY THEN."

MEANWHILE...
    "DAISHI, YOU JERK!" YELLED ONI RUNNING FROM BOTH THE PRINCESS AND THE PRINCE.
****
    "SO... AKANE'S SAVED. MOST EVERYONE IS HAPPY. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPAR WITH ME?" RYOKO ASKED. "I NEED TO IMPROVE ON MY SKILLS IF I'M TO BE THE BEST MARTIAL ARTIST IN THE WORLD!"
   Oni rounded a corner to found himself..back in Nerima? "What the?..Hey. there's the dojo!" Oni ran inside "Hey Ryok-Ryouga?"
    "Uhmm...Hi?"
    "Shi ne."
As Oni pulled the umbrella out of it's sheath, Ryouga began the run. Mass destruction galore. "I'm >swipe< gonna >slice< kill >hack< you! >slash<"
    She stands up." Ouch that hert falling on my butt." Throws cold water on Oni and Ryouga. "Take it outside you guys." walks in to the other room to change outfits, Laughing at the adventure they just got back from. "IT was fun."
    Looking up she sees Daishi looking aroud the corner. " AHHHH!" Finishes dressing and chases Daishi around with her whip, "Just what do you think you were doing dropping me on my butt, with what happened to me on that little trip I hold you responseable." <crack> "wait till I get my hands on you." <Crack> <splash> Tripping on a bord falling into a bucket of cold water. She looks up at in fox form at Daishi, pouts. * I am going to have to get use to this form*
    Ryoko looked around the dojo. Oni had chased Ryouga away. Akane had booted out Ranma. Shampoo and Ukyou seemed to be doing some strange glowing thing. And Mousse was quacking at Shampoo, in duck form. "Looks like nobody wants to spar with me..." She slumped. Then she straightened up. "Hah! I know. That's because they're all afraid of my strength! I guess I won't learn anything new here." Ryoko grabbed her backpack, which had conveniently stayed right where she left it
before she went on the adventure, and skipped out the door... only to stumble over a ferret and a pig. "Itee... huh? Hey, Oni is back! Hiya." She waved at the ferret. She grinned at the pig. "You were right, Ryouga." Then she continued on her way out of the dojo. Outside she saw a girl talking to Ranma, who was still in a painful looking
position on the ground from the fall. Ryoko hopped up to them. "Hiya! Whatcha doing? Talking? Yeah, okay. Wanna spar?"
