     Ignoring her, Genma continued, "Let's go, {son : Son}."

     "Well, older sister, I must say that you gave us all an entertaining

start to our day," Nabiki smiled as she rose and left the room.

Nabiki might be a bit grumpier.

     <Well, I'm the old Kasumi, {dear : Dear}.  You don't need to talk, I

can hear your thoughts just fine.  We'll be together until you learn how to
be me.  Won't that be fun?>   Overwhelming my own emotions with her own,
Misty's warm cheerfulness suppressed my horrified panic.

     <My name is Mike, not {dear : Dear}, Kasumi,> I said, relaxing in

spite of myself. Putting my arms against my sides, I breathed deeply.  <What
do you mean that we'll be together until I learn how to be you?>

     A laughing voice responded, <Silly, just think about it.  Since you

are now Kasumi Tendo, you know everything that I did.  If you can't remember
something immediately, try to picture it in your head.  If it really is
something I would know, you'll have it.  Try, {dear : Dear}.>

     Bubbling with laughter, Misty said, <Let's see, you tried to say pee,

piss and urinate.  The reason that you can't say those words, {dear : Dear},
goes back to your wish.  You wished to become either a manga or anime
character.  Well, now you are Kasumi Tendo, who was both.  Kasumi would
never say those words.  They are just too ... unfeminine.>

     <I'm not Kasumi any more, {dear : Dear}, you are.  As Kasumi Tendo,

you'll be living within the constraints placed upon her character.  When
you've acclimated to your new situation, I'll get a chance at choosing
another life.  You'll learn to love it, I know I did.> Misty comforted.

     <Don't I own some culottes or skorts?  I don't want to wear a skirt.

I want some time to get used to the idea.>

I'm not familiar with the term skorts.

     <Yes, {dear : Dear} I do,> she said sympathetically.  Continuing in a

happier tone, she gushed, <Remember, you're Kasumi Tendo now and as such
cannot say or do anything that would be unladylike. I'm just you're spirit
guide, who can say anything she likes.>

     With a sigh, I pulled the dress over my head and said, <My name is

Mike, not {dear : Dear} or Kasumi.>

     "Sure, {sis : Sis}," Nabiki looked at me with some surprise as she

left the room.  I just gave her a smile.

     "All right then.  Goodnight, {little sister : Little Sister},"  I was

glad that she decided not to join me.  I needed some time to myself to try
and think about who and what I'd become.

     "Were you really sure, {little sister : Little Sister}, or were you

already angry?"  I asked in a calmer tone of voice.

     Bringing her in to me for a short hug, I gently chided her, "Little

{sister : Sister}, I think it would be best if you went up to bed and slept
on it.  Tomorrow, both you and Ranma will be able to talk, if you care to."
I felt I was a little harsh, but she had brought this onto herself.

     Nabiki laughed a little and said, "Oh my is right, Oneechan!"

Up to this point you've used big and little sister.
