Akane groaned.  "Please, Nabiki.  It's bad.  You know I need it."

Nabiki tsked.  "You should go to the doctor more regularly anyway.
This is your health we're talking about."

"You know we can't afford that.  Just give me the pills."  Akane held
her hands out.

"Oh, fine.  Next time, go to the doctor," Nabiki said sternly, pulling
two bottles of pills out and giving one to Akane.  "There.  We have
enough for the doctor.  Don't 'forget' that."

"What about the other bottle?  That's not mine?"  Akane opened her
bottle and took a pill dry.

"No, afraid not.  This bottle is the reason you can afford to go to
the doctor.  I have to go drop these off."

"But couldn't you just..."

"No, Akane.  I don't know where it started, but now you both have it.
This is taking care of you.  Don't act like you're the only one in
this situation."

Akane pouted and nodded.  "Fine."

Nabiki raised one eyebrow.  "Still blaming him?"

Shrugging, Akane didn't meet her sister's gaze.

"You know, it could have been from you?  It's not necessarily his
fault."

"I don't care!  Now I have to take this stupid pills!"she yelled.

"Well, if that's how you're going to be, I'll just go now.  Think
about it, will you?"

"Akane, what are these?"  Soun was standing in the hall with the
bottle of pills in his hand.

Akane looked like a trapped animal.  "They're um..."  She looked for a
quick way out, but didn't see one.  "They're... zomfggds."

"What?  I didn't hear that?"

Akane sighed.  "It's Zovirax, Dad."

Soun looked at the bottle.  "Are these dangerous, Akane?  I really
can't..."

"No, Dad.  They're not dangerous.  The doctor prescribed them for me."

Soun's eyes watered for a second before he started crying.  "Oh no!
Not my daughter!  Is there no way to defeat this illness she has!?"

"Dad, stop.  It's not like that at all."  It was as good a time as
any.  "I... I have something to tell you.  Let's go downstairs."

Downstairs, Soun waited for Akane to explain.

"Well, you know how I'm 16 now.  And that, well, sometimes, you know,
kids kind of, just grow up..."

"Akane, what are you trying to say?"

"Those pills are Zovirax."

Soun gave her a blank look.

"It's to treat..."

"Akane Tendo!  Date with me!" Tatewaki Kuno howled, charging into the
room.

"NO!  Leave me alone!  I told you I didn't want to see you again!  Not
after what you did to me!" she yelled and punched him.

"Akane..." Soun said, warning in his voice.

"Dad, I have herpes.  I got it from Kuno."  She glared angrily at
Kuno.

"H... h... h..."  Soun fainted dead away.

"Herpes?  Isn't that one of them LTD's?" Ranma asked, suddenly
standing in the doorway.

Akane started to panic.  "Really!  He gave it to me!  I didn't have it
before!"

"And you can only catch these LTD's by havin' sex with someone."

"It's not true, Ranma!  He gave it to me!  I didn't want to do it with
him!  Really!"

"No wonder he's so hung up on you and you hate him so much.  How do
you know he gave it to you?"

"She doesn't, but do you think she'd actually believe she gave it to
him?  My little sister is a piece of work," Nabiki said, entering the
room and heading back to the kitchen.
