A/N:Yo!!! Here we go, the first fic from my warped mind LOL, Thanks to bits to my amazing GF who dedicated her first fic to me, so why not do her the same? ^////^ this is for you angel, and yes I'm well aware it might suck but hey I'm new to all this lol.
Let's kick it!!!
DISCLAIMER– Me? Own Ranma ½? HAHAHA hey I wish but if I did why would I do fics? All ownership goes to Miss Rumiko and the Distributors.
BOLD: SHOUTING
ITALICS: THINKING
Ranma ½ – Back in Knight-Time
"Halt!, Stand your ground and come quietly!!" demanded the agitated solider, his words mirrored by fellow blade wielding men, their target, dashing in between the trees and over bushes, trying to create as much distance as possible between her and her enemies.
"G-Go away!!! I'm not going baaaAAAAACCCKKK!!!!" her words draining out, as her long draping dress was snagged by deadwood, resulting in a deep and dark drop into a cavern, after reaching contact with the water however, she knew this was a great spot to hide, swimming deeper underneath the cavern roof, slowly poking her head out to her hopes, no voices from the solders.
…...Nothing, not a peep must have missed me, thinking this as a cue to exit the cold and somewhat oddly coloured water, grabbing onto a nearby rock, cursing to herself.
"Man, that was too close...uhh my favourite dress, soaked" sighed the young girl, as she wrung out her soggy garments "I just want to go away, where that...man can't find me"
"As you wish, Fated One" came a creepy yet welcoming voice almost female yet groaning, strangely to the girl's awe, emitting from the red and yellow water which she secluded herself from.
"H-Hey who's there? What you mean Fated One? And why is this water....spinning?" Asked the wet girl, noticing the strange water was suddenly spinning round and round, before however she could think, she felt a slight push in her back, sending her tumbling downwards into the water, creating no splash, and no scream as suddenly the girl, vanished into the spiral's deepness.
"Time to turn the clocks, forward" came that voice again

Furinkan High, anyone who walked by the school at this time might be excused to be mistaken a festival was taking place behind the walls, given the balloons and the confetti filling the air, however a less fancy but celebratory event was taking place.
Graduation Day!
All the students were placed in rows on a outdoor stage, facing towards their proud and gleaming parents and family, a strange looking man in a suit with coconuts on it and a palm tree on his head reading out the names of the celebrated few, but enough bout him, let's focus on the students, two in particular.
"Heh, and here I thought I would never make it here" said a young pig-tailed boy to himself, his words finding the ear of a young girl with short blue-ish hair to the side of the boy.
"You me both Ranma, you slept through most of Miss Hinako's lessons, and yet you still graduate? Guess you do have brains under that thick head of yours" she said, giving him a bright cheeky grin.
The boy referred to as Ranma, wearing his usual red Chinese sleeveless top and black baggy trousers, gave the girl his version of a cheeky grin. "Yea well I'm not just another pretty face, Tomboy" sticking out his tongue to climax the comeback.
Tomboy, more commonly known by her real name, Akane Tendo gave Ranma a gentle bop on the shoulder, trying not to make a scene, with the young happy go lucky smile of young Miss Hinako Ninomiya watching over them, as she looked around, she could see her family in the middle of the crowd, her dad balling his eyes out to much her sisters' dismay.
Looking at the rest of her fellow graduates, Akane sees all familiar faces, from Yuka, Saiyuri, Hiroshi and Daisuke, the noticeable spatula of friend and rival for Ranma, Ukyo and even at the far back, the weak and timid Gosunkugi, barely passing even after staying up the night before tests praying for good grades instead of actually revising.
As the names of his fellow students was being called out, Ranma was mentally thinking to himself bout how long it's been since he first walked, though it was more of a run, through the gates of Furinkan, looking back from the first confrontation with Tatewaki Kuno, who had already graduated though stayed to train the Kendo Club, and chase after Akane and me still thought Ranma, glaring towards the self-proclaimed Blue Thunder who was badgering his man-servant Sasuke to take plenty of pictures of 'his Tendo goddess'.
Looking back at other moments, the various fights with Akane to fights with Ryoga Hibiki, who has for some reaon not been around for a few weeks, ever since the incident at Mt. Pheonix
Mt. Pheonix....just remembering that place gave Ranma a chill up and down his spine, knowing how close he was to losing not only his life at times with the fight against Saffron, but more importantly to him, Akane's life, the one that no matter how badly he'd deny it to others and himself, he loved and almost lost.
Akane, noticing Ranma's hand was shaking, slowly took his hand, smiling as the martial artist's blushing face looked towards her own "Hey you're not nervous are you? It's just collecting a certificate, baka"
Ranma, noticing he must have looked scared, unbeknownst to his fiance for a different reason then she believed, calmed himself and nods. "Heh s-sure that, nah I'm fine"
Both the lovebirds then remembered the soft hand of the other, firmly holding each other, resulting in a few....OK everyone looking at the two in the front row on stage holding hands.
"Mister Saotome, Miss Tendo, I believe we would like to give you kekes your certificates, unless you think we are all here to watch you two lovebirds holds hands, ya?" came the odd and infuriating Hawaiian voice of Principal Kuno, holding the two's achievements in his tanned hand, both of them quickly releasing their grip on each other and dashed over, both showing brightly red faces.
The youngest Tendo taking hers first, much the glee of her Father, Soun, who was quickly causing some problems, flooding nearby people's lap with his tears of joy, whilst Kasumi tried to calm him down, forgiving everyone within ear-shot for the rudeness, all this time the middle daughter Nabiki was taking pictures of her sister's glowing smile, partly for memories, mostly for pervy guys to remember their leaving angel.
"Miss Akane Tendo, graduate" clapping along with the crowd, few wolf whistles popping up here and there, as she returned to her chair and waited for the rest of the ceremony, the pig-tailed boy stepping up next "Ah, big kauna glad to see you made it Saotome, here (passing the certificate over, along with a oddly shaped 'present') a little gift from me personally" said the principal, before speeding off stage, shouting as he ran " OH AND ALOHA!!!"
"THINK AGAIN!!!" Ranma replied as he punted the 'package' towards the speeding man, before a bright explosion erupted on contact, leaving a resounding hole and smoking carcass in the field.
"Honestly..." sighed the young boy taking his seat " you'd think he'd grown up over the year"

Back at the Tendo Dojo
After the ceremony Kasumi had a huge meal made out in celebration of Ranma's and Akane's graduation, even inviting the residents of the Neko-Haten, Shampoo currently fighting with Ukyo over feeding their 'love', much to the anger of Akane who was noticing a slight twitch in the eyes of Mousse and Konatsu, though Mousse was directed towards a Octopus Sausage if only he had better vision he would be with Shampoo, and once you look past the whole cross-dressing thing, Konatsu and Ukyo belong together she thought to herself, sighing a little.
Ever since the return from Mt. Pheonix, she's tried to get closer to Ranma, so sure to herself that she herd him say he loves her, looking back, all she remembers was reaching for the Kinjakan before....nothing...blackness, cold and dark, then she woke up after hearing Ranma 'confess'.
Under her breath she said as she went out to get some more pork buns "Maybe he doesn't love me?...Maybe I imagined it?...." looking back she saw both the other 'fiancés' making both holding out food in front of his drooling mouth, she mentally answered her own question as she reached up to the microwave"....guess he doesn't since he's been avoiding me like the plague".
Ranma had narrowly avoided a kiss-fest from the girls, however that didn't stop his old man and Mr Tendo to get so drunk on sake they'd knock over a kettle onto a crawling gender-hopping red head, heading towards the kitchen to turn back to a guy, making sure her present to Akane was safe in her pocket "Maybe it's too soon but I can't hide forever" tucking her hands in her pockets, Ranma-chan turned round the corner into the kitchen, and face to face with a certain tomboy.
"O-oh" was both the only words that came from their mouths before a blushed silence came between them, their lips so close to connecting, the two 'fiancés' just stood there stone still before Ranma-chan remembered he, or should I say she, was missing some things and had some in their place O-oh yeah, water...but.... her eyes are so....hypnotic.
Akane noticed the form in which the pig-tailed one was in and slowly stepped to one side to let him through "A-after you" she stuttered before running off into the yard, Ranma noticed something as she left though Baka this is my chance however she noticed something else, something a little bit out of place "A-Akane, your legs!!", however Akane had already ran outside Thick headed tomboy thought Ranma as he finally dunked his head in the cold water filled sink, reverted back to his male form.
"R-RANMA!!!", that scream reached around the Dojo, attracting all who was present, Ranma, suddenly worried dashed outside finding the Tendos, his dad Genma, the Amazons and Ukyo and Kuno all around the family spring, and around the half-visible figure of Akane, her face lifeless and cold.
"A-Akane? What's going..." Before however he could finish his sentence, the youngest Tendo's body suddenly fell backwards, into the family pond, yet no splash are body remained, the only sounds was a thunderous cry from all present.
"AKANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Author's Note
Phew ^^ well that's it for this chapter at last, first things you might notice, no Ryoga in person and most characters are super OOC and not a lot of talking in this chapter, I assure you they will be more in the next one, just this was more of a introduction to the fic, for newbies and to dive into the brains of Ranma and Akane, as for Ryoga....^_~ we'll see
I welcome all comments, flames not welcome but I will be fine with some negatives if it helps build up the rest of the story, the next chapter should be up after a bit, I got some dubs and college work to do so hopefully up before next week ^^
Oh and also this fic will have some of my other fave couples involved in it, most of them are based on the Manga relationships, others on the Anime
Laterz guys, Coolia and out!!
