[I thought this was a really bad episode. - H.Doi]

In the second school store of Fuurinkan High School, the old man was
telling Kunou and Ranma some stories of the past.  Kunou was really
enjoying it, and Ranma was just getting bored.  Then Akane came to
return a notebook that she had bought earlier.  She complained that
the notebook was very old.

Then Ranma and the old man started fighting.  They spilled some tea on
Akane's notebook.  The stain caused some writing to become visible.
When Akane started to read the note, a ghost of a school girl appeared
and started singing a song.

That night when Ranma and Akane were telling everyone the story about
the ghost during dinner, the ghost appeared.  Nabiki asked the ghost
what she was doing.  Then the ghost started crying.  She said that she
lost something, but couldn't remember what it was.  Kasumi invited the
girl to stay.  Soun told Akane to take care of the girl.

That night when the panda went to take a bath, he saw the ghost taking
a bath in the dark.  The panda fainted.

Akane asked the ghost to share her room, but the girl stayed in the
closet to sleep.

During breakfast, Kasumi mentioned the girl's song.  They wondered if
there was some clue hidden in her song about what she had lost.
Then Soun said that there was a Raccoon temple in the mountains
just like in the song.

Sasuke had been sneaking around and told Kunou about what he had heard
at the Tendo home.

Ranma and Akane went to some mountain called Kokkuri Yama.  The Raccoon
temple was there.

They used the words of the song as clues to track down the thing that
the girl had lost.  Then Kunou appeared.  He told Ranma and Akane to get
lost because he was looking for the buried treasure.  Ranma told Kunou
that he can do whatever he wants.  Kunou started digging for gold.

Ranma and Akane went into a cave.  Kunou then followed them.

There were many booby traps in the cave, which seemed to correspond
to the words of the song.

When Ranma and Akane were walking in the cave, the ghost appeared.
The girl said that she will help them.

Then there were more booby traps, and they got caught in some cold,
running water.  Since Akane couldn't swim, Ranma-chan had to go save her.

Eventually they all returned to the old man's room in the second store.
Then the ghost appeared and sang her song.  The old man remembered
something and started looking in the closet.  He found a stuffed animal
of a raccoon.  The ghost said that the raccoon was the thing that she
had been looking for.

Akane asked the old man to explain.  A long time ago, he had a notebook
sale in his store.  He gave away one stuffed animal to everyone who
bought a notebook.  But one girl forgot it, so one raccoon was left over.

The girl introduced herself as Musashi Kogane, said good-bye, and left.
