Athetos - "Without Place". Saotome Ranko, fresh from her making up with Akane, makes a wish, with far reaching and personally devastating consequences. Spinoff from Chapter 9 of "Changeling"

Tendou Ranko revels in music, dancing in a field of higanbana under the pale moonlight.

She never thought she'd be able to do it. But the craziness at Fuurinkan really does lend itself well to coming out as yourself. And people always said she'd make a cute goth girl even before she knew who she was...

Pretending to be Ranma is exhausting. Pretending not to love the fang-toothed man she does love is even more exhausting. Tricking their entire set of families is doubly exhausting. Dragging her best friend along with her for the ride is triply so. Saotome Keiko thinks it's time for some change, starting with the man she loves. Change is scary, but stagnation is terrifying.

Hibiki Ryouga comes across the strangest sights on his travels. But none stranger to him than the redheaded girl on a cruise ship, accompanying Nabiki Tendou of all people; and telling the Lost Boy the story of a very transformative six months.
