The door swings open, SWISH! There, you and Akane are next to each other, the evening wind blows through the window, the sound calming and soothing. You’re Ranma Saotome, a young man and martial artist who turns into a girl when splashed by cold water and back into a man when splashed by hot water.

Which is just as good as a deceiving technique as to a curse.

You’re destined to marry Akane Tendo, but she doesn’t seem too fond of the idea itself. You two fight all the time, and argue over small and very petty little things such as food or who gets this or that. At least that’s what everyone sees.

But as the door swings open, revealing Akane with lipstick on, and multiple lipstick kisses on your face, your arm around Akane’s waist, and the both of you blushing, it’s pretty obvious.

"I-It’s not what it looks like, I swear!"

She says to the mystery person that opened the door. As they turned on the lights, it’s revealed to be Nabiki, her older sister.

"I’ll conveniently keep this a secret for 2,300 yen."

She smirks. Meanwhile, you and Akane look at each other, internally panicking and overly flustered as you two reach into your wallets, but as to your demise, you find that the both of you don’t have money.

“Is there another payment..? Like doing your chores or errands..?"

Akane asks Nabiki, but Nabiki shakes her head, smirking, already walking off to tell Kasumi, the oldest Tendo sister, your father, Genma, and their father, Soun. What will happen if everyone finds out that instead of hating each other in this arranged marriage, you two love each other?

"Uh oh, Ranma.."

She says to you. The only thing that’s helping you calm down and not just usually go crazy over being flustered is Akane, her cute face, and your arm around her waist.
