Revolt: An attempt to put an end to the authority of a person or body by rebelling.
This story is based on the characters Rumiko Takahashi and depicted representations from the world of Hiromu Arakawa. Nothing belongs to this writer wannabe and looks for nothing but entertainment.
At nine fifteen, outside a secret base in the African Sahara desert a group of special operatives realized the last details for the team's assault.
"Lieutenant, all the preparations are in order. The objective is a scientist kidnapped from the Eastern Europe medical Lab. Doctor Patrycja Omanov." The girl with the brown hair reporting to the official was the operative's communication and research specialist. Agent Brown (Bunko Sato)
The team composed of a leader, a group of teenage girls with amazing capabilities for espionage and covert operations and a hidden source by the name of Isaac McDougal. They were assigned by different secret government agencies to solve problems otherwise impossible for their interests.
The leader himself was not any older than seventeen and even when the boy looked like a normal kid he's image commanded respect and authority. His name? Agent black. The boy dressed in a very different way. He liked the style from the intrepid cowboys from the America's old west and like them, he wore a trench coat, long sleeves thick shirt and pants made of black leather. His boots missed the steely spurs like the westerns and of course, he had no guns holstered on the sides of his waist.
The hat was the only signature left to the place he came from. A black Jingasa (Japanese War hat) finished the boy's attire, now such "gear" had its purpose. Besides the fashion style, his clothes consisted of a special material his source managed to fabricate under a new kind of technology.
The consistency on the leather made of Graphene transforming the suit impervious of any damage and his secret weapon adapted to the clothes as well.
"Lt. . . Agent Pink is ready for the assault. Agents green and purple stayed back for any alteration on the plan. Would you like to issue any additional orders?" The boy looked at the girl and a smiled tucked in his face when seeing the reason for the agent's color code name. "Geez. If they are secret agents why would they wear bright color suits like pink . . . Oh well, to each her own I guess."
When everything was ready, the boy launched for the high guarded building. Security guards saw the boy and opened fire at the intruder. Bullets flew by him like flies and the ones hitting him ricocheted, leaving nothing but the flatten bullet aside. The heavy artillery opened their on line of defense shooting at the boy with higher caliber, high impact bullets.
The boy moved at impressive speeds and he managed to avoid most lethal projectiles. When Agent black arrived to the wall of the building a giant cloud of smoke told the guards, the boy was in. The inner walls fell apart by the different punches the dark operative used to demolish them. Camera's captured the moment when the boy hit a wall and it disintegrated like it was made of paper.
"Red Alert! . . . Intruder in pursuit heading north to the main elevators." Guards and mercenaries rushed for the corridor leading to the industrial sized elevators. Machine guns and an advanced mini Mark seven gun like the ones used on a battleship but a lot smaller were sited outside in a line of fire.
In the distance and through several walls, people could hear the destruction of walls getting closer and closer. When the last wall, the one dividing them from their target was left from the behemoth, the guards prepared to fire, but nothing came. There were no explosions or a monster popping unannounced.
Everyone looked up to the ceiling when a strange scratching made it aware someone or something was trying to go by. The specialized rifle men aimed and shot at will. Rain of bullets and holes made them aware that a small animal was the culprit for the noises. When one of the guards pointed a camera to the resting debris of what once was a roof, bright red eyes told him of the small animal still hiding in a hole. The man focused his scope's rifle and then he laughed telling the others of his discovery. "Stand down . . . That thing is a small black piglet. Must've escaped from the labs downstairs in level five."
The piglet heard that and kept on the move. The small animal carried two thermos on his back. They had a good amount of compressed hot and cold water and were the ultimate weapon in his arsenal. When the black piglet journeyed through wiring and dust, his goal took him to the lowest level on top of the elevator.
Outside the confused guards asked for the unstoppable enemy. "Central. What happened to the intruder? The target ran at us but on the last wall, we lost contact with it. . . Where is it and more importantly "what" is it?" The people from the cameras and security central were amiss by the question as well.
"Negative. Intruder is still missing, disperse and form teams to track and flush him out." The several guards formed groups of two and went in search for the elusive stranger. Five levels down the piglet found a passage to one of the closets and when setting on the floor, the small animal pulled his head to the right, activating the right thermos.
The change was instant and like his special wardrobe, he wore another black suit under neat. This kind was a different kind. Where the first had the purpose to be resistant and able to hold extreme weights, this one was designed to stretch from his real form to the one of a tiny mammal.
The now black suited boy held his intercom and pushed on the communication device. "OK?" From the other side a tiny voice told him of the security of the line and the schematics on the building. "Ryo. You are in the fifth floor. Take a right when going out and go through six walls. The last wall is going to be really thick, that is the chamber where the scientist is trapped."
"Ok . . . Akira-Chan, I still don't believe all that nonsense about my alternates, but if Isaac managed to come from another world I'll give ya that. Keep your end of the bargain and we will discuss it further." The voice agreed to the boy and cut the rest of the communication.
Ryoga took a deep breath and, moving into position, the boy began to pound on walls and hard surface obstacles his way. "Intruder found on the fifth level. All guards . . . Begin pursuit of the intruder . . . Alert red."
Outside of the compound three girls prepared to sneak into the building after their leader took all the security with him. "Purple . . . Green, we need to hurry. The building plan's can take us to our objective faster but we need to avoid cameras and surveillance." The girls nodded and saluted the other girl. "Aye, Red."
"Don't salute me . . . I'm a civilian not an agent like you guys." Agent green smiled and cheered at the redhead. "It doesn't matter. You are the Lt's favorite so we made you an honorary agent." Agent Purple just shrugged her shoulders and went along.
Agent purple specialized on covert operations, computer and science while Agent green's special talents were medical. The three girls slipped through the failed security system easily and on the elevators, they managed to pass the rest of the guards thanks to the redheaded agent. The girl was an expert in martial arts and had skills of her own.
When a guard was aware of the other intruders he tried to call central, but Agent purple scrambled any communication on the area. The guard brought his machine gun up and shot mercilessly at the girls. Akira moved to the front of the other two and took all the damage.
When agent green examined the redhead, she found amazing the speed in which her body rejected any wound and it healed instantly. Agent purple kept scrambling and guarding the lines while Akira lead them to the fifth floor. When the girls found Ryoga about to hit the last wall, they hurried trying to catch up their objective immediately. The boy looked at the wall made of a very distinct material. "The AISI 4130 low density steel is a bonus but a wall is a wall." The boy concentrated on his target and after what he believed enough time a scream alerted the girls of the last obstacle. "Bakusai Tenketsu!"
The wall exploded to a point where the glass keeping the female scientist away cracked under the pressure. The boy hit the rest of the glass and it came down. "Who . . . . W-Who are you?" The girls arrived and before the kidnapped girl could see a thing, the green suited girl applied a sedative strong enough that she fell asleep instantly.
Akira carried the unconscious girl and nodded at her cousin. "Fine Ryo, go "that" way and keep on straight. We'll get her out and wait for you outside." Agents purple and green changed back into the black suits and moved away on the opposite side.
Ryoga punched the wall and kept running away when the guards finally caught up to him. "There he is . . . Open fire!" The boy laughed at the puny projectiles bouncing from his body, even when not using his special clothes, Ryoga managed to deflect the bullets by sheer strength and his Chi.
After the last wall, Ryoga kept running taking apart the fence and that's when a black helicopter joined to persecution. The chopper gave no warning and began to shoot an even higher caliber shells. This time the boy managed to jump everywhere trying to escape his doom.
When agent black saw the girls running away without any harm, the boy turned to the helicopter, saluted them and did a high jump and falling into a cliff up ahead. Just as crazy, the chopper went after and while the black haired boy was in free fall the mercenary aimed for his head through the machine gun's scope.
A second later, a torrent of cold water hit the flying vehicle, freezing it in mid air. Akira was on the other side and had a rope previously set on her side of the cliff. Ryoga grabbed it and the girls pulled him up. The mercenaries could do nothing but wonder how that was even possible.
On top of the cliff, a different kind of helicopter took them in and left the place silently.
An hour or so later the group arrived to their base situated in a secret area almost on top of Mount Fuji, in Japan. The scientist woke up on a bed and the ambassador of Czechoslovakia welcomed the girl. Dr. Omanov thanked the girls who were exited about the mission and talked to her about fashion trends and shoes.
Ryoga stared at them from the other side of the glass and when the girl scientist looked at him, she nodded in thanks. The boy bowed slightly and walked out of sight. "So, you say that I have other "me" somewhere in other dimensions and they need my help. Especially your sister?"
The redheaded girl nodded and waited for his personal judgment. "Fine, if Isaac managed to travel here from another place and almost dead than I guess that can be true as well. Let me get some business done on this planet and then we can try your way." The girl accepted his offer and stayed as a permanent part of the team.
Ryoga Hibiki entered the main room where the foreign ambassador and the Japanese internal affairs department's director Kichirou Yamamoto discussed the arranged deal on the kidnapping. "Mr. Ambassador you must understand that this team works beyond the law and is not recognized officially. The contract is clear . . . One living scientist with full use of her memories in exchange or ten million yen."
"Director Yamamoto, I understand the details on the contract, however, the danger from that organization to extract Ms. Omanov secret research is a matter of national security for the eastern countries in Europe. There shouldn't be a price for world piece!"
The boy walked by the enraged men and took his seat in the center. "Director . . . Mr. Ambassador. I humbly request your part of the contract "but" if you refuse to pay, I understand. Please excuse my team from any further missions or deals with your people. There are many things in our reach and that money is not for mercenary work. We develop special technology for the good of world piece."
The old man stood up and pointed at the young boy. "I don't see any technology given to our allies or for the good of the world. How can you declare that so openly?" Ryoga reclined on his chair and when he looked away from the room, the purple haired girl was set for her presentation.
"Mr. Ambassador. Team Revolt has stopped thirteen attempts on different parts of the world where massive companies from technology to industrial espionage have benefited." The girl change the screen in front of the guests, showing a nine digit sum of money that is not either yen or dollar, but pounds . . .British pounds."
The ambassador saw the point on the examples and figured that leaving his allies without the protection from such dependable group would be more expensive than the ten millions they were asking fairly. "I agree. You'll have your money ready for transfer tomorrow morning." The two men shook hands and left.
Ryoga didn't like to impose monetary compensation from his work, but he learned in time that nations need that kind of treaties to survive. The special director confirmed the future transaction and he separated half for the boy's team.
An hour later, the full team rested on their respective shower rooms with the exception of the redheaded girl. Ryoga turned on the shower with steamy hot water. The boy went in and a second later, a very pissed piglet came out screaming his head off. "BWEEE! . . ." In front of the piglet, a man with three slashes across his body told all those who knew him of how lucky he was to be alive.
"Serves you right Hibiki-san, I told you to always be ready for a change in the temperature . . . Just in case." The piglet stared at the older man furious. He met him almost dead when his cousin tried to open a portal to another realm and sucking him in by accident. When the man turned around, he saw a little redheaded girl completely naked. The reaction didn't wait and the old man spluttered and a gush of blood exploded from his nose.
The man quickly turned away from the girl and screamed with all his strength. "Akira-san. Are you out of your freaking mind? . . . A fifteen year old naked girl showering with grown men is disgusting and perverted!" The girl shrugged, ignoring the long comment.
"And what am I suppose to do? . . . Go to the girl's shower room when I'm not really a girl? Last time I tried that I was the one with the giant nosebleed." A mocking bwee let the old man know that the joke was on him and the stranger from another world flinched, making his sign on the shoulder highlight and when the man touched the wall, the cold water turn into steam, transforming the piglet back to a boy.
Ryoga tried to control his laughter while transforming back and when failing to do so, the boy fell on his posterior. "Hey! . . . What did you do that for?" After some silent moments all three people laughed and when the girl passed by them again naked, both exploded into a nosebleed.
Later on by the room where everyone shared their food, the girls talked about future ideas for their parts in the money. Ryoga arrived and the girls stared at the boy intently for his report. "Well guys, the job went without a hitch. After further discussing the money issues with my right hand, Akira agreed to refuse payment so, each one of us is receiving a million yen for our troubles and another eighty millions to the team's technology research."
Agents brown, green and purple joined agent Black at dinner. The girls were singing and talking about their own ideas. Agent Brown: "Finally I will be able to afford all those designer's clothes I've been salivating for without spending my communication surplus!"
Agent Green: "Well to be able to afford a decent vacation plus all the symposiums about the latest human research will be exciting!"
Agent Pink: "You are kidding right? . . . Clothes and boring chats with other boring doctors? Na. The joy will be on the parties . . . Then, parties . . . And finally more parties, Oh! And boys!"
All the girls stared, waiting on the purple haired emo girl. "What? . . . Oh, I'll just save it for later . . ." Responded the girl annoyed at the surprised looks on her colleagues. When done, all four girls moved their aim at Ryoga's plan.
"Lt.? . . . Don't tell us you're planning to save the money as well?" The boy nodded and went back to his plate. "Anyway. Internal affairs have decided to take out our badges and privileges for the time being." The agents stopped eating and hoped for their leader to do something about it. The boy felt their questioning.
"No . . . I am not going to do a thing. They believe we are over ourselves in jobs and we are becoming increasingly vulnerable to foreign attacks. So we are to behave as civilians for now." Ryoga looked at each of the girls and bowed his head in respect.
The boy looked at agent brown and agent pink first. "Miss Bunko Sato . . . Miss Hideko Tanaka" After them he looked at Agent green and agent purple. "Miss Mai Hara and Miss Reiko Oshiro." The fanged agent stop eating his dinner and set it aside speaking more freely.
"From now on we are our own private team, if you agree with me. Same missions, the pay will be greater and we won't answer to anyone. Our agent designation is terminated for now and until a previous call from headquarters we'll act as private operatives."
Night passed and the team experienced a different kind of dream. Bunko Sato dreamt about advanced communication gear and Ryoga standing by her side, cuddling and romancing her.
Hideko Tanaka passed all night long posing extravagant clothes and some very skimpy ones before the fanged boy. Ryoga would open his eyes in amazement from the curvy girl's attire.
Mai Hara decided to sleep over the idea of teaching in front of hundreds of doctors and specialists about intricate medical procedures and at the end of the lecture, Ryoga waited on the girl to play in the sand with her.
In the confines of a dark nightmare, Reiko Oshiro dreamt with her regular missions but with the idea of Ryoga as her agent-slave and lover and the two taking on terrible beasts leaving the fights without a scratch.
Nights always went the same for the lost boy. Even when he changed his life for the better and embraced his rebellious mind, the boy moved from the mopping teen to a more mature teenager. Still awake from the day anterior, the boy had a certain company in his room.
"So, if what you tell me is correct . . . In another worlds "I" accept my female form and not only that, but "I" accept Ranma Saotome as my husband and lover while "I" play the faithful weak wife?" Akira was surprised by the different Ryoga compared to all the others she visited in the past.
"Yup . . . That's pretty much the deal." The boy smiled and scoffed at the idea angrily. "What kind of stupid alternates do I rise as? . . . First of all. I hate . . . No! . . . I despise that boy-girl freak. When we were together, he used that stupid curse to humiliate me and turn me into the laughing stock in Nerima. He is smart I'll give you that and with all my desire to punish him, my lack of patience helped him in the end."
The boy felt more comfortable with the girl. "We fought and there were some times when I won, but the greedy and prideful Saotome never accepted defeat. I hated that and after the last time, just before his wedding, I took the greatest decision of my life. I let go of him and his attitude."
That was the fact separating this Ryoga from the others. Even the more resilient or compassionates fell for the boy or girl by his sheer determination and the intensity of his attempts with his female curse. This Ryoga hated him and like so, he considered Ranko just as evil.
"So. The point is . . . I need your help to save my sister and the best defense to fight those we are up against is by combining your DNA with Ranma's and gets the fourth elemental master . . .water." The boy pondered about every detail and studied every acceptable risk.
Suddenly a light bulb sparked in the dorm. "I got it, and I'll get the job done without even Saotome knowing he helped." The girl thought about it and if it worked for the boy, it worked for her.
Mr. McDougal moved and stretched on all directions, afraid of the dark shadow of a man, a man with an eye patch and an impressive skill with the sword. The man woke up sweaty and scared at his last demise, or what was supposed to be his death if it wasn't for the portal opened in the last second after being slashed.
The next morning the girls blushed at the sight of a tired Ryoga Hibiki walking to his training round. The previous night filled the young women with ideas about the boy and the way to please him in a more intimate way. When he passed by them, the fanged agent stare at their red faces.
"Morning L-Lt.! . . ." Bunko bowed at the boy and hurried back to the rest of the ashamed girls. After the training, Ryoga called the girls for a personal report. "Guys. I'm thinking on moving for a while back to Nerima. I have enough saved and I plan to take some time off during this recess. You are free to do as you please until we can restart missions in about three months."
Hideko and Mai rushed at the boy and stopped him before his next training routine. " Lt. we are thinking on accompany you to that district. There are many things to do but we would like to see your personal experiment there . . .could that be arranged?"
Ryoga agreed since it looked like a harmless thing to do. "Sure, but you can't treat me as an official, but as a normal guy there. I don't want anyone knowing my true identity understood?" The girls accepted and the group made their luggage for the city.
When Akira joined the traveling group, Ryoga brought her with him and the green haired girl. When they were in a smaller room, the three sat and the doctor specialist talked about Ryoga's idea. "Miss Akira. There is a revolutionary procedure that we developed last night."
"Ryoga-kun told us of his "special dilemma" and with some thinking we got to the solution of a medical operation, we call it artificial insemination." When the redhead asked for the meaning on the procedure, Miss Hara explained the term.
"We are going to request a piece of this Ranma's sperm and we will insert it on the fertile womb of the Lt. when he becomes a she. It should work efficiently and without any problem." The girl understood the steps and believed that to be a good option.
The old man stayed back on the base to further his knowledge with the Chi of this world's people and his ability with Alchemy. The rest went on their way to Nerima. Mount Fuji was a rather close place to most parts in Japan, not for nothing, they chose the place for their base.
When the girls traveled with Ryoga, their respect as co-workers on a highly secret organization transformed into a friendship when the agents names lost the meaning and the real names took them into what they were in real life . . . Teenagers.
"Ryoga-kun, come . . . Sit with us!" The girls change their attitude towards a higher-ranking officer and reintroduce each other as they perceived before work. The boy liked the idea and he began to appreciate the girls for what they were. "So . . . You guys are going to try to spend money all over town?" The brunette girl talked in such high speed that only Hideko and Mai understood her fascination with clothes, Reiko just stared back at Ryoga and Akira and they laughed at her excitement.
"Fine . . . Fine, but remember. You are staying at my house and you are passing as exchange students on furinkan." The teens turned white and looked at each other confused. "But . . . But we already passed even through the University and with the highest honors. Why do we need to try on annoying immature boys, jealous girls and dumb teachers?"
"Because we need to have a cover story. No one knows us by our names and when we left our badges, we left everything back. . . Even my black suit." The teenagers had a good time enjoying small conversations and treats sold on the rustic old train. It was a cumbersome feeling to travel on a slow vehicle compared to the black jet they possessed but everything had to go accordingly to their new identities.
A few hours later Ryoga and his friends arrived to Nerima where two taxies took them to the Hibiki House. They got in and the first thing was to see Bunko play with a black and white stripped dog. "hiya girl . . .How are things here?" The dog recognized Ryoga and she welcomed the rest of her new family.
When Ryoga made sure no traps were set off, the boy walked by the house several times until Hideko told him what direction he wanted to go. "I want to check any mail." The girl took him outside and brought him back by his hand, the fanged boy thanked her and asked her about the same handicap on the base.
"Hideko-Chan . . . Do you think we could paint different colored lines so I can navigate through the house like in the base?" The girl agreed and called Mia to help her with the task. A few minutes later the girls complemented themselves for a job well done and asked the boy to give it a test run.
Ryoga walked to the kitchen to tell Reiko about the dishes and what they needed from the store. Ran upstairs to check on three of the five bedrooms, making sure everything was ready and clean. Moved down and checked the mail again for kicks, came inside and looked happily at the girls. "Yes! . . . Perfect."
When the door ringed, Ryoga tensed and moved behind the kitchen entrance. "Damn it, let it not be him."
Reiko frowned at his behavior but the girl went to the door and answered it. The mail carrier welcomed the guests and told him of how empty the house was and that he liked to bring food for checkers.
Ryoga came out of his hiding place and laughed at the mail carrier's comment. He thanked back and bowed to him. After closing the door, the boy kept laughing knowing the Reiko would ask him about his reaction. "Is not my business but why did you do that Lt.?"
"Sorry Reiko-Chan, I thought it was someone else I don't want to see right now." The emo girl took the response like almost everything else. The girl went on her business and just said. "Whatever . . ." The boy sighed and proceeded to make some dinner.
Mai beat him to it and sent the leader back to the living room where the boy talked with Akira. "So, those guys who researched me . . . Did they look on all my life?" The girl put away the magazine she was reading and looked at the concerned.
"For some reason not all your life. There are spots in blank in the data banks. Is like you want to erase those memories at will or something." The boy's face turned a side of pink and the girl felt he really wanted something out of his life.
Dinner came and Hideko helped Mai with serving the food. Everyone enjoyed nutritious dishes created by the doctor and flavored by the party girl. The feeling was great. Ryoga looked at the girls like if they were her sisters or family. Some were fighting over the next day's activities while Akira and Reiko looked at technical magazines.
Ryoga ate his plate and enjoyed of his first family reunion in a long time. The rest of the night the girls sat in the couch while making Ryoga sit in the middle. Everyone except Akira sat at their boss side and they looked at several picture albums from his family.
"Lt. I didn't know you were this cute as a baby . . . And naked!" Hideko, the party girl giggled and the rest joined in. Ryoga blushed and tried top pry the album away but the girls passed it faster than the ashamed boy could react.
"Guys . . . Call me Ryoga. I am your elder here but we are friends remember?" The girls looked giddy from the honor to fraternize with him . . .After all the time they spent together. "Yes Ryoga-sama?" Mai stared back to see if her title felt right to the boy.
Ryoga shook his head and smiled at the girl. "Ryoga . . .or Ryo if you want Mai-Chan." Her name used in such an intimate form made the girl blush a bit but she accepted delighted and continued with their plans. "We should try and enroll in High school first time tomorrow. And you should enroll with us too Ryo."
"Oh no . . . I have a reputation to hold as a lost dimwit in this place. If Ranma finds out I am way stronger now then before he'll want to challenge me to a fight." The girls kept staring at the boy and Bunny mentioned what they thought.
"Why Ryo-kun. Let him come. . . You are stronger and faster than anyone we've encountered before. Let him have a taste of his pride destroyed." The boy kept thinking on the pigtailed boy and his head kept shaking negatively. "No . . .You don't know him like I do . . ."
Reiko opted to speak now on the matter. "Even though I don't really care either way. I believe you should join us in school time. I refuse to go through social repression again after I passed all that years ago. Either you come and enroll or I refuse now."
The boy stared at the girl knowing these girls passed all this studies when they were children. "I know you were ahead of your classes and you passed your whole careers at an early age, and I understand your concern so is it. Tomorrow I'll enroll on Furinkan with you too."
The girls cheered and Reiko nodded satisfied with her decision. Akira raised her sight and noticed all the presents staring at her. "Oh no . . . I've got a lot of things in my mind and besides. I'm going to be traveling between worlds often."
"Well sorry cousin, but hen you signed in my crew, you accepted to follow our direction." Akira sighed, defeated and nods at the offer. "Fine . . . Count me in." Nighttime came and each girl moved to a different room. A house with six bedrooms and four bathrooms sure came in handy for the group.
At night the girls experienced almost the same deal of dreams while Ryoga passed for a different one. His dream wasn't imaginary, but a lost memory he tried to forget desperately.
In a previous time here in Nerima, Ryoga ran behind Ranma after the failed wedding made the pigtailed boy "get acquainted" with Shampoo or it seemed that way for the lost boy.
"Come back here you cur!" Ranma kept jumping all over the place and avoiding the other boy's punches. "Damn it Ryoga . . . It ain't what it seems, she jumped me!" The boy ignored his pleads and kept on his personal rant.
"Akane is your fiancé and future wife and you, the guy who sense me coming, it's surprised by that Chinese bimbo? . . . I don't think so. If Akane can't correct you then I will!" The boys ran all over the place until Ranma guided the fanged boy into the school property hoping to lose him since it was Saturday.
They ran at the back of the deserted buildings and right when the pigtailed boy turned to see where his rival was, he saw no one behind. "Well, finally I got rid of that pest . . ." The boy walked in the direction of the school ground's exit when Ryoga jumped from a bush and pinned him against a wall.
Ranma tried to make fun of the boy but when Ryoga hit the wall behind him with force, a thud made him stop in place. "Ranma! . . .This has to stop. You should be a married man and a faithful husband!." His baring fangs made the boy see how much of a friend Ryoga was. Not only for Akane's sake but for his.
"Gee Ryoga, that really hits me here buddy . . .I should say something' . . ." The lost boy got angrier at his antics and with his fists still on the sides of the boy, Ryoga raised one of them and hit the wall determined.
The effect was different this time. The boy moved closer to Ranma, just inches away from his face and his anger made his statement clear. He just wanted to make a point, nothing else, but as it turns out the last punch broke a pipeline on the third floor of the building.
A small stream of cold water poured from the outside wall and dripped on the now redheaded girl. Ryoga turned red when being so close to Ranma and that feeling froze him in place. Ranma felt something as well but she refused to move, enticed by the feeling.
"Ranma . . . Move away Now!" The girl tilted her head when she saw the lost boy so nervous looking at her. "Why Ryoga? . . .weren't you lecturing me about something?" The boy tried to move but his body gave him the impression of getting closer to the redhead.
His face touched Ranma's hair and the girl stared at his chest, hypnotized by how close he was. Ryoga rested his lips on her head, defeated from the girl's heat and smell. Ranma moved her hands and grabbed his shirt, not to push him away but to hold them up.
"Ranma . . . What are you doing? . . .Push me . . . Move me away, I can't." The girl rested her face on his chest and took a big sniff at his scent. This made the lost boy wonder and his body became mechanical. The boy kissed the girl lightly on the hair and kept walking down kiss by kiss to her nose. Ranma was ecstatic by the sensation and she let him go on with the attention.
The fanged boy couldn't move and his lips threatened to go lower . . . To the girl's own set. The moment came and their lips touched with tenderness. Ranma felt the care and respect the boy used with his lips. The kiss wasn't needy or pushy, and there was no tongue or that stuff they saw in movies. There were light touches and Ryoga would try to gently pull her lower lip with his.
When the boy did that, The redhead let a moan escape and that was the deal breaker for the now boy in heat. The girl responded and he knew there wouldn't be an escape from that. Ranko felt ashamed for what she did but she was too far long to stop now. The boy moved the kisses to her neck and Ranma exhaled into Ryoga's ear.
"Ryo . .ga . .Ok by me . . . Go for it buddy." The boy fought desperately to stop and asked the girl for help. "Ranma . . .please, I beg you . . . Stop me before is too late, I like you but . . .Akane!" The girl ignored his pleads and hugged him letting her chest do the talk.
Ryoga was beyond resistance. The girl accepted him and let him go on. "Damn it Ranma. Please don't do this . . .You want to humiliate me? . . Is this what's all about?. Fine you jerk, I'll say it . . . For you and only you." The boy moved back and stared at the girl who moved as well.
Their eyes met and they stared for too long. Ranko's blue orbs trembled and told Ryoga to say his peace. "Damn it . . .I-I like you. I have always been attracted by you curse and if this is my downfall so be it. I think I'm beginning to . . . Love . . . You."
Ranma looked down to his chest and then up at his eyes again. Her eyes said it all. She didn't need to say a word but her lips moved anyway. "Ryoga . . . I know . . . And I want to try this." The boy closed his eyes and grabbed the girl's face tenderly. "No . . .You are Ranma Saotome, future husband to Akane Tendo and you are my friend. I will not defile you like this."
Ryoga kissed her one last time and the kiss was needy this time, asking to be held for as long as they could. A minute later he let go and looking at the girl, the boy smiled. "Ranma Saotome, I like you but this will be the last time I see you."
The fanged boy set the girl away in a desperate move and launched himself to the small stream of cold water. Moments later, a wet and crying piglet ran away from that building, leaving behind his clothes and all. Ranma fell to the ground and thought about the terrible idea she almost did.
"Thanks Ryo . . .Thank you, buddy." The girl stood up and walked back home, swearing to the heavens that their shared memory would be suppressed in his mind. The boy jumped from the bed and fell on the floor. A few seconds later someone knocked on the door and Akira joined Ryoga in his room again. To talk about his nightmares.
"Ryo. I don't know what are you suppressing but it can't be too good if you are dreaming that badly." The boy chuckled at the comment and looked at the girl. "You have no idea how true is that, but there are some memories that are worth keeping to one."
"Why couldn't I stop. I am better than Ranma and He is a boy not a girl. . . Damn curses and Damn him for encouraging me . . ."
Morning came and everyone discussed dresses and shoes while a tired Ryoga walked downstairs and grabbed a cup of coffee. "Ryoga-kun . . . Nightmares again?" Mai was the most concerned with the boy's health and she tried to keep him up. "Yes the same one. I think we could skip the school business for sometime and focus on getting new missions."
Reiko bonked him on the head and stared at him with her gloomy face. "Too late Ryo-kun, I already set up appointments for all of us and you got this on the mail this morning." Ryoga accepted defeated and grabbed the piece of paper from the girl.
"Hibiki Ryoga. You are invited for the wedding reunion between Akane Tendo and Ranma Saotome this Saturday at seven in the afternoon. Please call this number to make extra reservations." When he read the note aloud, the shrieking screams of the girls left him deaf.
"Yay! . . . A wedding, how exciting. I need to dress in white for the occasion." The pink haired girl giggled and looked at the boy. "Ryoga-kun . . .who are you taking with you?" The boy blinked and looked at the girls staring at him intently. "I . . .I . . .I . . ."
Everyone cheered and Hideko cheered him up with more enthusiasm. "Yes . . .He is taking all of us!" The boy scratched his head and laughed at the girl. "Sure, if that works for all of you . . . It'll work for me."
When the girls set their mind to fix the meal of the day, Ryoga went upstairs to his room, dressed and came back wearing a blue uniform. The clothes fitted in a way where the fanged boy looked serious and they ran to theirs to change too.
"Wow, a blue and white, old fashioned dress . . . That is so . . . Tacky. Reiko came in hers but decided to wear dark blue lipstick, the girl looked at the rest and ignored the stares. Mai accepted the uniform as part of an experiment and went along with the piece. Bunko didn't like it and requested another blue suit like the males used.
Everyone stared even more but she looked too cute with a feminine cut on the clothes that made it sexier. Akira faked her gender and wore another blue suit, she swore not to use skirts in her life and she meant it. Hideko agreed to the dress as well and they readied in the Living room.
After breakfast, the colored haired youngsters and Ryoga arrived to the school grounds. Everyone was excited to see so many beautiful girls join the classes and all the people ran at the sight of new girls in the principal's office.
Ryoga and company were accepted and they entered the classroom besides the one Akane and Ranma were. The commotion arose when Ranma's class was quietly sleeping from the History lesson and the noises on the next room were heard by them.
"Class I would like you to meet our new students. They are exchanging for the time being and will stay for some time. Please, could you present yourselves up front . . . Starting with you son." Akane turned her head sideways, curious about the new students and Ranma tried to snore peacefully ignoring the chatting.
"Hello . . . My name is Ryoga Hibiki. I come from several places and I decided to stay here for the time being." Akane smiled at the recognizable voice and Ranma woke up from the boy's name. The rest of the students looked at Nabiki who was setting up her betting account, foreseeing future events.
"Great . . .I get to wed the tomboy this weekend and Ryoga is goin' to be here too" Ranma slouched, moaned bothered by the news and a piece of chalk hit him on the head. "Saotome! . . . Outside now!" The pigtailed boy walked outside and held his well-known buckets of water.
While staring at the next room, the pigtailed boy searched for his sometimes friend, sometimes rival. Time for recess came and Ranma ran out the building trying to find Ryoga and taunt him for a friendly fight. The lost boy was accompanied by other girls, five to be exact and even Akane wasn't able to meet him then.
The girls were beautiful and they were around the boy sharing food and reading strange books and pointing at different maps near a tree outside. "Hey Ryoga, buddy . . . How is it goin' . . .?" The fanged boy's face turned pink and he tried to avoid eye contact.
"Hey R-Ranma . . .What's up?" The Saotome heir completely forgot about the last incident they were together and when he remembered, his face turned pink as well. "Well . . .I-I was just . . ." Ryoga understood that Ranma remembered and the boy scoffed away.
"S-Sorry man . . . I have no time right now to see you. We can try later . . ." The pigtailed boy laughed nervous and began to step back. "Yes . . .Y-Your right . . .bye." Akane looked at the boys weird but passed the situation like a one time thing.
"Hello Ryoga-kun. Would you present me to your friends?" Ryoga stood up quickly and bowed to the girl. "Why yes Akane-san. These are my friends . . . Her name is Mai, Hideko, Bunko, Reiko and Akira." Finished the boy when each girl bowed and waved at the girl.
"Where did you guys met?" Hideko stared at the rest of the girls and promptly moved close to the raven-haired girl. "Well . . . Ryoga-kun is "our" fiancé. Funny story, you see we are all friends from a long time ago and we decided to fight for his love. Under a personal pledge we agreed to share him and we might marry him soon too . . . Oh by the way, congratulations on your wedding!"
Akane sweat dropped at the happy girl and the tiny eyeballs on the boy told her the girl was serious. Ranma heard that and made him stop from leaving. His clown attitude came back and the banter began. "So Ryoga, buddy . . . Are you following my steps?"
Before the fanged boy could say a thing, the murmur of people made him a lot more nervous. "Hey but I thought that guy liked Ranma's girl." . . . "Yeah, a rumor flew all over the place a few months back isn't?" . . . . . "Is it true Hibiki-san?" The students stared at the boy's answer and Ranma felt the heat raise up inside.
"Please . . . I have all these girls, why would I want a boy who turns into an ugly girl?" The students made taunting noises and challenging remarks at the pigtailed boy. "Well . . . If you think my side is ugly, why would you stare at my breasts when my shirts rip by our fights?" Ranma didn't want people to know what happened but as usual, his pride took the best of him.
"What did you expect? . . . You have no modesty and I'm a healthy boy. Pop a girl's chest and even Kuno would jump at them, but I'm not into dwarves. I'll let "you" guys handle "her" . . ." Ranma fumed and walked closer to the boy. "Who are you callin' dwarf? . . .You should know my height is about normal!"
"For a dwarf? . . . Yeah . . .And what about with your gigantic chest . . . It makes you look even shorter. What teenager carries such size?" Ryoga laughed at the girl but knew Ranma would say something of what happened if he kept pushing him.
"Well. Anyway. Kuno, the horde and everyone else is free to pursuit your female curse for as long as they want. I've got what I want." The boy turned around, helped the girls pick the books and maps from the ground and they left the scene while talking away.
Ranma crossed his arms on his chest and everyone else stared at him like if he had been defeated. Akane wondered about that still weird display but she scuffed on a "guy's thing" and walked away with her friends. The pigtailed boy looked away at the fanged one with a feeling of anger about him.
"Why did you say that Hideko-Chan?" The girl blushed and said what the rest thought. "For fun, but mostly because we feel that way." The other girls looked down as well then up, at the boy. "Well I didn't know you felt that way and that is very flattering, but I like you all. How could this work?"
The girls agreed to try their luck with Ryoga one at the time. In the next days, their friendship became closer and Ryoga took each girl out for a date. Friday came and Ryoga walked on the park with Mai. They were talking about medical procedures and surgical operations. Mai beamed with the boy when he not only paid attention to her, but talked back with knowledge on the matter.
Suddenly out of nowhere a girl grabbed the boy and Mai turned to see the assailant. It was another girl with brown, long hair, a funny hat and glasses. She was wearing an old pink dress, which clearly looked that didn't belong to her.
"Excuse me! . . . We are having a conversation here!" Ryoga kept thinking about the new girl. "I have seen you before, but where?" The new girl looked at the boy and tried to hug him close. "It's me Ryoga-kun . . . Your "real" fiancé." Everything began to make sense on Ryoga's mind and he decided to "play" his role of dummy like before.
"But Miss we haven't met . . . There has to be a mistake!" Ryoga winked Mai and the girl got the idea. The girl began to struggle with the newcomer and the discussion went underway. "Yes! . . . There has to be a mistake, because he is "my" fiancé."
"Well I don' know where you get that lady, but my Ryoga and I are leaving . . . Now!" The fake fiancé grabbed the boy and dragged him away from Mai. The doctor stayed back and smiled at the redhead's intent.
Moments later Ryoga was through with the joke and, while jumping up and down with the girl, the boy "accidentally" pulled her wig. "Ranma . . .? What the hell?" The redhead scowled at the boy and demanded satisfaction.
"What the hell me? . . . What the hell you! . . . You leave for almost a year and then comeback with "special" friends? . . . You owe me an explanation. "Buddy" . . ." The boy began to laugh and nervously moved back.
"What do you want from me? . . . I came back because I like this place not to find you again. I left for a reason and you know that reason, so don't go all "hurt" on me and stop this nonsense at once." The girl grabbed a piece of cloth and bit it while making big mournful eyes.
"But . . . I thought." The boy started to walk away. "You thought what? . . . Ranma, that was a mistake and you just try to act all jealous. Forget me and go on with your marriage. Let me be the one with many fiancées for once."
The girl tried to argue but Ryoga left her back and joined the other girl. Ranma stared away quiet from the hurting words, not because of him but for the way he said it. "I'm not ugly . . . I am not ugly and I'll prove him wrong!"
"What was that about Ryoga-kun?" The boy suppressed his memory and went back to the girl. "It's his ego Mai. I hurt his pride in school and now he wants me to apologize and tell him "his" girl side is pretty . . . But I won't do that. He uses it so wrongly that he deserved a lesson, and I'm not backing off. Let's forget about the fool and get on our own business after the movie." The girl was thrilled by the still going date and they left to the theater. In there, Ryoga met Akane with a forced Ranma as a couple and the pigtailed boy moved closer to his girl, trying to make the fanged boy jealous.
"Ryoga-kun, nice to see you here . . . Is this your date?" The girl nodded and they began to talk on their own. Ranma stared furious at Ryoga and tried to get close to him. The boy looked everywhere trying to memorize his surroundings. When the pigtailed boy was at his side, Ryoga walked out of there and into the concession stand. Minutes later, an angry Ranma stared at a fanged boy with his hands full of popcorn and sodas.
The girls came back and Ranma passed his arm around Akane's waist while looking at Ryoga. The boy wasn't even paying attention but Mai did. The girl told something in the boy's ear and Ryoga's nose turned pink. He nodded again and The girl kissed him passionately.
Akane blushed from the display and Ranma's face wore more shades of red then before. The pigtailed boy turned around and took Akane in his arms, kissing her on her own misguided way. "Ouch! . . . Ranma you don't have to bite me."
Ranma stared at the girl ashamed when he went too far. "Sorry 'Kane." The girl rubbed her lip and saw the other two separating, and ignoring their incident. "Well guys, the movie is about to start, let's going in!"
Akane and Ranma sat in the middle and Ryoga and Mai moved way on the back. At the end of the movie Akane kept telling about the special effects and the action parts. The other couple stared at them and they only nodded in agreement.
Akane and Ranma concluded that they were doing something else than watching the movie and decided to leave for now.
Back at the house, the rest of the girls welcomed the couple and Mai told them about the date and what Ranma tried to do. Everyone went to bed and around three in the morning a tiny knock woke Ryoga up. The boy opened the window and there he was.
"Ryoga . . . Why did you do that for?" The boy invited him in and they sat by his bed. "And What am I suppose to do? . . . See you, run at your side and turn you into "her" so I can kiss her and tell her how much I love her?"
The boy didn't know what to say, but his ego made him smile. "So, all you said about me is a lie . . . Right?" The boy smiled an patted him on the back. "Of course Ranma, I still feel "that" for you, but that is not the point. You are moving on and I am doing the same, and like I said. After that "time" we should never see each other ever again."
The boy felt confused by what he felt with Ryoga, but what he said was true. "I don' know if I can, but I guess I got to try." Ryoga agreed and extended his hand waiting to give his last handshake. Ranma quickly picked a glass of water near by and poured it in.
Ryoga stared at the beautiful Ranko again and his hearth jumped, knowing well where the pigtailed girl was going. "Ranma . . . Get out. Now!" The girl knew his struggles and she jumped at him. "Just a kiss Ryo . . . Just a kiss and I'll leave, promise."
The boy kissed her and the girl had to ask. "Ryoga . . . Am I pretty?" The lost boy looked at her and bent his head. "Of course you are pretty." The girl giggled silently and moved away from the boy. "I knew it . . . I knew you were full of it."
Ryoga got the point and he bared his fangs. "This was just a ruse? . . Did you pretend to like me so I could admit that?" He began to get angry and Ranma tried to explain that she didn't mean it like that. "No Ryoga! . . .It ain't like that I like you is just . . ."
"Is just that your ego is greater and your pride governs you? . . . Get out. Now!" The boy grabbed the girl and gently took her out of the window. Ranma could do nothing but to return home.
