Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma ½. For all I know, monkeys rule this world. Yup.

SUMMARY: Akane, Shampoo, Ukyou, and Kodachi. One way or another, they ended up being Ranma's fiancées (except Kodachi. She likes to pretend she is.). But enough of that! What will Ranma do when he finds out Akane has a few extra fiancées of her own? Will he experience the same jealous behavior Akane did when she found out about his other fiancées? Come and see Ranma get a taste of hisown medicine!

Part One
What About Us?

"Ranma! Will you hurry up? Akane yelled, running her fingers one more time through her navy hair. As usual, they were late for school. Again.

"All right, all right," repeated Ranma, putting on his shoeswhile swinging his school bag over his shoulders. He watched as Akane stared at him impatiently, tapping her foot with a frown on her face.

"Why do you take so long anyway?" she asked him, frowning even harder. "You're so slow."

"It's not like I'm the only one who takes long," he shot back.

Akane huffed, but said nothing. How could she retort to a true remark? She ran out the dojo when she saw that Ranma had finally finished slipping into his shoes, knowing he'd eventually catch up to her. She swung open the door to the entrance to the dojo and was about to start the usual race against the clock when she saw a boy standing in her way, probably some tourist (considering his blonde hair) who had come to take pictures of the dojo. "Excuse me," she said, moving to get him out of the way.

"Tendou Akane?" he asked with a serious yet gentle voice.

Akane stopped and turned around swiftly. She studied his facade, attempting to figure out if she had met this man before. After some debate in her mind, she was certain she hadn't a clue as to who this man was. She would have remembered a face like that: golden eyes and blonde hair was not something she saw every day. "Uh...do I know you?" she asked rather politely.

"Hey Akane! Wait up!" yelled Ranma. Akane watched as he easily jumped onto the strange boy's head and used it a s a springboard to jump right next to her. "Sorry about that!" he apologized blatantly turning briefly towards the boy, who still had his head down, and turned to Akane stating the obvious, "We're late, y'know."

"Heh..." huffed out the boy, an ominous red aura rising lazily from his form. He looked at Ranma. "I challenge you!"

"What's wrong with him?" questioned Ranma, staring at the boy as if he had grown an ear on his forehead.

"You jumped off the guy's head!" Akane exclaimed, giving Ranma a 'you're-such-an-idiot!' look. Sometimes Ranma could be such a dimwit. Akane didn't know why she continued to be surprised when Ranma let out his airhead remarks. 'He never learns...' she thought.

"Look...I don't know who you are, but I can't fight you right now," stated Ranma, turning toward the direction of his school, "I'm late." He wouldn't stand another day in the hall holding two buckets full of water to satisfy this guy's need for pointless violence. He walked forward, attempting to make his exit a dramatic one.

"What's this? Are you backing down from my challenge?" taunted the boy.

It was as if his ego had just been cut into pieces by Kuno's sword, picked at by Mousse's weapons and stomped on by P-Chan's hooves. He stopped dead in his tracks, forgetting any kind of basic common sense and letting his male intuition kick in: the kind of male intuition that makes guys act stupid. "You don't know who you're messing with..." warned Ranma with a slight smirk on his egotistic face.

Akane rolled her eyes. So much for being late for school. Sighing heavily, Akane stepped back slowly, waiting for this fight to get itself over with. It was experience that made her believe he was going to win this quickly. Ranma had a reputation to always manage beating the opponent one way or another.

"I'm Ranma Saotome, heir to the Saotome-Anything-Goes-Martial-Arts-School," he stated proudly, taking his famous fighting stance.

The boy looked at him with a surprised look. Then he smirked. "I'm Rai Kin," he said, taking his fighting pose as well, "heir to the Kin-Anything-Goes-Martial-Arts-School."

"Anything-Goes?" breathed out Akane. She looked at Ranma and he looked back at her, both looking at each other with perplexed expressions, hoping one would explain this matter to the other.

"You're Tendou Akane, right? Heiress to the Tendou-Anything-Goes-Martial-Arts-School?" he asked her, his confident smirk working its way into Ranma's nerves. She looked at him, not sure how to handle the situation. It was hard to look away from such an intense golden gaze.

"What kind of crap are you trying to feed me?" demanded Ranma, seeing as how Akane seemed to have lost her ability to converse. "You can't be an heir to the Anything-Goes-School!"

"My father was a student of Master Happousai's," explained Rai, removing his eyes from Akane and replacing her brown orbs with Ranma's blue ones. Taking his thumb, he gently removed a strand of golden hair from his equally golden eyes. "And now that my father has passed away, I have come to join the two Anything-Goes-Martial-Arts-Schools." He shifted his gaze from Ranma to Akane, and stared intently into her brown eyes with a serious expression. "We must marry, Akane Tendou."

End of Part One


Yes, I know this is short, but I just wanted to wait and see if anyone like the plot so far. Review and tell me what you think!

Adios!
