Chapter 1:
The black haired teenage boy looked out the clear window of the train, the rain outside made the mood even more calm and serene. Many people would probably hate the rain because of the quietness, and loneliness and the fact that they couldn't go outside and be with their friends, but this boy was actually content and relieved. There were three words that said it all.... He was free..... Free from all the people in his life that made his life so hard and complicated. There was still one thing that he wasn't, or probably would never be free from but that didn't bother him that much at that moment.
He gazed at his own reflection as the rain flowed down the window on the outside. This teenager had his hair in low, single braid, had black calm yet wild eyes, and wore a red, ancient chinese short sleeved shirt with golden buttons and a regular black pants.
"I'm finally free......... No more uncute tomboy, no more P-chan, no more Shampoo, Ukyou, Mousse, that old ghoul and that old freak, Kuno, Kodachi, Nabiki, and finally...... no more talk about having honor to the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts...... I just had enough with them and I couldn't take it anymore............ Now I can start my life over in Tokyo with my Aunt Ikuko and Uncle Kenji. Oh yea...Usagi too......"
The P.A. system is that what you call it? came on and the flight commander is there such thing as this? I'm so baka... *shakes my head in shame* spoke to all the passengers on board the plane, "Flight #703 on board the Japanese Airlines I made this up... will be landing in Tokyo in less than five minutes. Everyone, please remain in your seats and keep the seat belts buckled. Wait for our assurance before you unbuckle the seat belt and stand up to get off. Thank you."
*Just ten more minutes... Then I can see you again, Usagi. I missed you guys so much. I wonder how Shingo is like. I remember.... he was still too young at that time.....*
"The flight has ended and I assure you that everything is fine. We hope you enjoy the flight! Have a nice day everyone!! "
The content boy gathered his luggage and got off the plane and walked down the steps. He searched around for his relatives but didn't see them anywhere. "I wonder where they could be? "
Just then, he heard someone call out his name and he turned to the direction of the voice...
~ An hour earlier at the Tsukino residence ~
"Shingo!! Hurry up!!! We might be late to pick up Ranma!!!!! " The blonde fifteen-year-old yelled at her younger brother.
"I'm comin'!! I'm comin'!!!! Hold your horses!!!! Who's Ranma anyways?!! " Shingo grumpily answered and he dragged his feet down the stairs.
"He's your cousin, baka!!!! "
"Cousin?!!! We don't have any cousin!! First you tell me to come down and close my Sailor Moon game!! Now you're lying to me that we have a cousin when we don't have any at all!!!!! Man!!!! I also beat the whole game too!! "
"Urusai!!! We do have a cousin!!!! His name is Ranma Saotome!!! "
Their father stepped into the room, "Stop arguing you two!!! "
"Gomen Tousan" They said lowering their heads in shame.
"Shingo. You do have a cousin. It's just that you were only one and a half years old. You were too young to remember him"
"Oh... How old is he Tousan? "
"He's the same age as Usagi, 16. "
"Cool!! I've always wanted an older brother!!! I bet Ranma's someone who's smart and can actually help me on my homework!!! " Looks at Usagi.
"Urusai you little brat!!! "
"Ok!! That's enough!!! We have to get going!!! It's going to be four 'o clock right now and I can't stand being stuck in traffic during traffic hour!! "
"We're done Tousan! "
Kenji looked up the stairs, "Honey!! Are you done?!! "
Ikuko came running down the steps, "Gomen nasai dear. Let's get going. "
The quartet nodded to one another and ran to their car and drove off to the airport.
"Oi Odango atama? " Shingo asked once they got out of the car.
"Don't call me that!!! "
"How did you guys find out that Ranma was gonna come? "
"Shingo no baka!! Didn't you hear me talking to someone on the phone this morning?! "
"Ohhhh.... So that was Ranma.. I thought you were talking to your boyfriend, Mamoru Chiba. Or should I say, Mamo-chan. " He taunted in a mocking voice.
"Urusai!!! " She screamed. "No one makes fun of my Mamo-chan!!! "
"Mamo-chan!!! Boyfriend??!!!!!! " Kenji bellowed as steam came out from his head and his ears.
"Oh no!.. Now Tousan is gonna kill me! " She softly yelled.
"Now calm down honey. We'll talk about this at home. We don't want to draw attention. " Ikuko said trying to calm her husband down.
"Iie!!! We'll talk about this.... now!!!!!... Usagi!!!! You better start explaining!!! "
"Anno.... You see.... I..... no.....He's....--."
"Tousan! Did I ever tell you that Mamoru was twenty-one? " Shingo laughed grinned mischievously as he rubbed it in more.
"Shingo!!!!!!!! I swear to Kami you are soooooooooo dead!!!!!!!!!!!!! " She screamed so loud, which caught almost everyone's attention, and started chasing after her now frightened brother.
"Okasan!!!! Otousan!!!!! Somebody!!!!! Anybody!!!!!! Help me!!!!!!"
"Come back here you coward!!!!!!" She chased after him, oblivious to her father's shouts that told her to come back and that he wasn't done talking to her. There was a crowd of people coming and Shingo ran towards them. Usagi was too busy trying to catch and kill her brother when she ran into someone and fell back hitting her head on the cold marble floor. The other person stumbled but didn't fall.
"Ow.... Itai... Gomen.. " Usagi said.
Someone helped her up and she rubbed her head. She already felt a bump there as her fingers brushed across it and she winced in pain.
"It's ok. Daijoubu ka? "
"Hai, arigato. " She opened her eyes and met such beautiful lavender ones and a slight gasp escaped her mouth as she stared at the handsome guy, his face just inches away from hers.
"Konnichiwa. Watashi wa Miaka Yuki. " Another friendly voice said making her blush as she realized she was staring, and move away. She looked up again and saw eight people, seven of them were men, and the one that introduced herself, was a girl, probably around her age.
"Moshi moshi. Watashi wa Usagi Tsukino!!... " She extended her arms out with a warm smile on her face and the girl shook her hand.
"As you know, I'm Miaka and these are my friends. This one here is Hotohori, and that's Nuriko, Chichiri, Mitsukake, Tasuki, Churiko, and this is my boyfriend, Tamahome. "
"Nice to meet you all. "
"Nice to meet you too, Usagi-san. " They all said.
"Just Usagi or Usagi-chan is fine.... Anno... why are you guys dressed like that? It seems different from the clothes we have....... I know I saw something like that in a book or something but I don't remember where...." you know, the ones that they wore the first time they met Miaka. I don't really quite remember the details and I don't wanna start explain it cause I'm terrible when it comes to explaining clothes. Gomen...
Everyone stiffened and chuckled nervously.
"I know!!!! " The group froze even more, if that was possible. They all had one thought in mind, *could she know about the book, The Universe of the Four Gods and everything else?*
"You guys are heading to a costume party, ne?!! "
Miaka, Tamahome, Nuriko, and Tasuki fell over anime style at that while the others sighed in relief. "You're really funny, no da. " Chichiri said.
"Huh? How come? "
"She's just like you Miaka. " Tasuki said.
"Urusai Suki-chan!!! "
"Don't call me that!!! "
"Then don't make fun of me. "
"Fine. "
"Fine. "
"Hmph! " They both said at the same time.
"Uuussaaggiii!!!!! "
Now it was Usagi's turn to freeze as she gulped and silently prayed that it wasn't who she thought it was. She slowly turned around and bit her lip when she saw her father marching up to her with her mother behind him. Shingo was right to his father sticking his tongue out at her. She made her fist and glared at her baka brother.
"You're not getting away from this one, young lady!!!! "
"Hai, Tousan..."
"Now start explaining why you're dating a twenty-one year old man who's six years older than you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You better tell me where is that Chiba guy right now!!! I swear I'm gonna hunt him down for even talking to you!!!!!! "
"Tousan!! "
"Who are these people Usagi?!!! One of these is probably Chiba, your boyfriend huh?!!!! "
Miaka and them widened their eyes when he said this.
"Iie Tousan!!!! These are my friends I just met!!! "
"Honey please!!! " Ikuko pleaded. "We came here to pick up Ranma!! We will talk about this later!! "
"Ranma! I totally forgot about him!!!! He's gonna hate me!!!..... Shingo!! This is all your fault!! " Usagi frantically searched around when she spotted someone that looked like the Ranma she remembered but only older. She rushed over to the teenager and shouted out his name.
"Ranma!!!! "
The one named Ranma turned around and saw his cousin running up to him. "Usagi!! Is that you?! "
"Hai!! It's me!! " She threw herself in his arms and he dropped his bags, hugging her back. "It's so good to see you again!! "
"You too Bunny. "
She pulled him towards her parents, "Still calling me that? " She giggled, "Come on!!.... Tousan! Kaasan!! Look! It's Ranma!!! "
"Ranma!! You've grown so much!! " Ikuko said hugging him.
"Aunt Ikuko!! Uncle Kenji!! And you must be Shingo! "
"Yup! That's me! "
"Usagi!!!! Are gonna explain why you have a college boyfriend or not?!!! "
Ranma's eyes widened in surprise, *a college boyfriend?!* Usagi gave him a pleading look and he spoke, "Uncle Kenji? Can we get something to eat? I'm kinda hungry..."
"Huh? Yea, sure Ranma. Let's go. "
Usagi sighed in relief and content and mouthed a `thank you` to him. He just smiled, "We'll talk later..."
Her parents left first, followed by her cousin and bratty brother. Then she turned to her new friends, "Gomen nasai minna. I have to go. It was a pleasure meeting you all!! Ja ne!! "
"Ja ne! " The group called to her. She smiled and ran after her family, waving good-bye and they did the same in return.
"What a weird girl. " Tasuki remarked.
Tamahome hit him on the head, "We're not exactly normal ourselves either, no da. "
~ Tsukino household ~
"C..C..C...Cat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Ranma dashed out of Usagi's room and the living room.
"Ranma!! What's wrong?! " Usagi yelled as she carried Luna and ran down the stairs. "Ranma! What's the matter?! "
"Usagi!! Get that c..c...ca... cat away from me!!! "
Usagi looked at her cousin carefully, eyes full of concern and anxiety. *He's absolutely terrified of Luna. No, of cats...... What made him so frightened of a cat?...* "Luna. Go outside, away from here right now. " She whispered. Luna nodded and jumped through the open window.
"Luna's gone Ranma. It's ok now. " Ranma was still trembling but managed to calm down. Her family just ran into the room, "What's goin' on? Why were you guys screaming?! "
"I think Ranma is afraid of cats. "
"Honto? Is that true Ranma? " Ikuko questioned.
"Hai. It's all pops fault!! "
"Uncle Genma? "
"Who's Uncle Genma? "
"That's Ranma's dad, baka. "
"So what happened? What did my brother do this time? " Kenji asked.
"Well, when departed ten years ago, pops took me to go to different training grounds and try to get better and learn more techniques and moves. There was this technique called neko-ken or cat fist and pops made me learn it. In order to learn that technique, that person must be strapped with pounds of fish sausages and be thrown in to a pit of starving cats. I was in the pit for two days and nights I'm not sure if that's right. Sorry if I'm wrong! and that's what happened to me. And now, if I get too close to a cat or vice versa, I loose control of my mind and I become or think I'm a cat myself....... "
Usagi gasped, "That's so awful!!! How could Uncle Genma do that to you?!! "
He family nodded in agreement. Then Shingo spoke, "Ranma? Is that why you ran away? "
"Iie. There are far more things just as bad as that. "
"Like what? " Usagi asked, curiosity getting the best of her.
"Well......" Ranma began to tell them about everything. Even about his curse. He wanted to keep his pride but he couldn't lie to his family who let him stay with them. He wouldn't do that. A half hour later 6:58 p.m..........
"Watch. " He dumped the cold water over his head and they gasped in shock when he changed to his girl form. Usagi giggled at this. "It's not at all funny, Bunny!!! " hey!! I made a rhyme!!...*everyone stares at me like I'm some idiot.*..silence.... *sweatdrops*....
"Gomen, it's just that you're almost as good looking as me. " She joked and smirked.
"Pullleeezzz Bunny... I am far more beautiful and better built than you are when I'm in my cursed form. " She shot back proudly.
"Are not! "
"Are too! "
"Are not! "
"Are too! "
"Nuh uh! "
"Yuh huh! "
They both looked at each other and burst into laughter. "You still haven't changed after all these years!!! " The duo said at the same time. The best friends hugged each other and smiled.
"I miss you so much ever since you had to leave with your dad......I thought we wouldn't see each other anymore when you didn't come back a year later....... Ran-chan. We're still best friends like before..... and for eternity, right? " A tear slipped out of her right eye and down her pale cheek and onto her shirt. remember, Ranma is still in his cursed form.
"Of course we are, Bunny. You'll always be my best friend no matter what... "
"Arigato..."
".....Weeelllll, on one condition. "
"What is it? "
"Don't ever call me Ran-chan again. It reminds me of Ukyou because she calls me that..."
"Ok. "
"Oh, don't thank me. I want to thank you..."
"......"
"You're my first and only true friend who understands me, unlike everyone else......."
Then Kenji asked, "Ranma. Can I ask, what made you leave after staying a year at the Tendo Dojo? "
"You see, yesterday......"
~ Flashback ~
Ranma was walking down the streets and had just come back from the intense and exhausting training that Happosai had given him in the woods. He was now walking home, looking like a complete mess. Most of his hair was sticking out from his braid, his clothes were wrinkled, and his heavy backpack made him even more tired than he already is.
"Stupid pops and Mr. Tendo. Why'd they gotta make go train with that old freak of nature! That's already torture!! And they tell that uncute tomboy to come along too!! Jeez!!!" He let out a breath, "I'm already so damn tired with that training. Then that dumb Akane have to constantly hit and accuse me for things I didn't do and the pervert is always on my case too, giving me more trouble... "
"I finally found you Ranma!!! You're not running away and I'm gonna beat you this time!!!!! Yaahhhh!!!! " Ryouga launched his umbrella at him who he managed to dodge even in his condition.
"Look Ryouga. I'm not in the mood to fight. Come back tomorrow or something. "
"No!!! I'm going to settle this once and for all!!!! " He threw a fury of punches and kicks while Ranma dodged them but got hit by a few. Ranma dumped his backpack on the ground and the two charged at each other. After a while, Ranma was losing and Ryouga would keep his pace up. Then Ryouga kicked Ranma in the gut and he went flying into the wall, making a deep crater.
"Ranma!!!! Ranma!!! " Ryouga turned around and saw Shampoo came running towards them with a brown paper bag in her hands.
Ranma was going to attack again but saw a hose next to him. He turned on the water and shot the water at Ryouga. Ryouga turned around but it was too late to dodge the upcoming blast of cold water. He was soaking wet as he changed into his cursed form, a black pig. Ranma walked over to the pig, "How do you like it now huh, P-chan? "
P-chan was furious and jumped at him but he hit P-chan in the face and he fell with a light thud.
"Ranma!!!!!! "
"Just great. Just what I need right now. " He muttered. Shampoo threw herself at him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Ranma!! Try my rice cake!! "
"No Shampoo. Leave me alone. "
"Please Ranma!! I made just for you!! "
"I wont eat it! "
"Why Ranma? "
" 'Cuz the last time I did I had to hug anyone who sneezed!!! I got hit so many times by Akane and everyone else!! I ain't goin' through that again so don't count on me eating your food, Shampoo!! "
"Ok..... Go on date with Shampoo? "
"For the last time.... No!!!!! Shampoo!! Get away from me! " He tried to push her away or get away from her but she wouldn't let go.
Then Ukyou came with her big spatula behind her back. "Ran-chan!!! Want some okynomiyaki?!! "
"No, Ucc-chan. I just want to be alone right now. "
"Come on!! I am your cute fiancé. Let's go back to my restaurant! "
"Ucc-chan, please!! "
Before Ukyou could respond, Kodachi came running with her ribbon in her hands. "Ranma, darling!!! I missed you sooooo much!!! Come here!!!! "
Just then, P-chan charged at him again, biting him really hard on the leg and getting distracted. "Ahhhh! You stupid dumb pig!!! I'll get you for that!! " Kodachi took this advantage and wrapped her ribbons around him. "What?!! Hey Kodachi!!! Let me go!!! " He struggled to get free but Kodachi pulled on the ribbon and he was dragged to her.
"Hey!!! Let my Ran-chan go!! " She ran to Ranma and pulled him towards her.
"Shut up ya hussy!! Ranma's mine!!! " And pulled him back. Shampoo joined them too, "Leave Ranma alone!!!! " They kept pulling him back and forth like some old ragged doll while he was still trying to get the black pig off of him and get untangled at the same time. He managed to kick P-chan off of him and he flew a couple of feet back. Akane just showed up when she saw Ranma kicked the pig.
"P-chan!!!!! " She runs to him and picks him up. "Poor P-chan... Are you ok? " and he nods his head. She turns to yell at Ranma when Ranma `playing` with the other three. "Ugh!!! You pervert!!!!!!!!! " She rushed at him, pushing the trio away and hit him in the head with her mallet. He became confused and collapsed to the ground. She was mainly mad at him for `playing` with them but she'd never admit it so she yelled at him about P -chan instead.
"Owwww!!!!!! What was that for you uncute tomboy!!!!!! " "How many times have I told you to stop picking on
P-chan?!!!!!! "
"That stupid pig of yours started it!!!!!! " He shouted back as he finally got out of the ribbons. Shampoo, Ukyou, and Kodachi was arguing with each other over who Ranma belonged to, unaware of everything else that was going on.
Then Kuno appeared next, "Kodachi!! Come back!!! " He stopped when he saw his rival yelling at his Akane.
"Raaaannmmaaaaa!!!!!! Get away from my Akane!!!!!! " He charged at Ranma and P-chan did the same thing but Ranma stopped them before they could pounce on him.
"Thaaaaaat's eeeennnnoooouuuugggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! "
All stopped shouting and everyone were silent as they stared at him. The only sounds that could be heard was the light wind blowing and Ranma's hard panting.
"I've had enough with every single one of you!!!!! All of you just think that I'm some plush doll that you can do anything you want with or some prize you want to hang up on you wall!!!!!! Well, I'm not going to take it any longer!!!! I have already thought about running away before but I figured I'd give you guys a couple of more chances and trust you to change and treat me like an actual person, but boy was I wrong!!!!!!!!! I won't go on like this so I have made my final decision and move out!!!!!! Out of the Tendo Dojo and out of Nerima!!!!!!! I won't ever come back either even if my life depended it!!!!!!!!!!! "
"But Ranma!! What about us?! What about the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts?!! Do you not have honor? !!! " Akane started.
"Shut up Akane Tendo!!!!! Don't you even start with me!!!!!! First of all, there was no us!!!!! I might have had feelings for you but that was long gone!!!!!! As for the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts, I don't care!!!!! You figure out what to do!!!!! And don't you even dare talk about honor in front of me!!!!!!!! Did you really think that I was stupid enough to not know that you were two-timin' with Ryouga behind my back?!!!!!!! "
Everyone gasped at this in shock but didn't say anything.
"There were so many clues about Ryouga turning into his cursed form and you couldn't figure it out through each one!!!!!!!! That's bull!!!!!!!......... As for everyone else I'm breaking off every engagement I had with anyone!!!!! That's my final decision and no one and nothing can make me change my mind!!!!!!!!!!!! "
He walked over to his backpack and picked it up and started walking off.
"Where are you going? Ryouga asked.
"To the Tendo's Dojo to pack my stuff! "
"Where are you going afterwards? "
"To a relative's house..." And he continued walking while the group watched him go until they no longer saw his figure... They all went home, not a single word was spoken between them. Ranma saw a tree ahead of him as his vision continued to get blurrier by the second. He began swaying back and forth as he still tried to reach the tree and lie down. But he was too tired and didn't make it even if it was just a couple of more feet and he collapsed to the ground and his eye lids shutting slowly and darkness overwhelmed him...
~ Tendo Dojo ~
Akane got home after an hour and a half of walking and having some thinking of her own. She felt terribly guilty and horrible because she knew that everything that Ranma had said to her in her face was the truth. She never meant to use him but she only did it so she could please her father. She knew how much the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts meant to him but that was no excuse for using Ranma. She checked the clock. It was 3:05... She sighed and went to the dojo and began to hit the punching bag putting all her anger at herself and stress on her punches and kicks. At the same time she tried to think of how she would apologize to him but everything she thought of didn't seem right.
Just then her sister Kasumi came in, "Akane! Dinner is ready!! Come down in five minutes!! "
"Ok! Thanks Kasumi!!........ Yaaaahhh!!!!! " She put all of her anger in her last punch and the punching bag exploded, all the sand inside spilled across the room. She panted from exhaustion and left the dojo. After washing up, she came into the living room where everyone everyone as in Genma, Soun, Kasumi, and Nabikielse was and sat down to eat. She looked around but didn't see Ranma anywhere. "Hey everyone. Have you guys seen Ranma? "
"No. He hasn't come back since you guys went to train with Happosai. " Kasumi answered. "I wonder where could he be at. It's already 7:38..."
"I'm right here! " Everyone turned and looked at the door and saw Ranma come in.
"Ranma!! Where were you?!! " Akane yelled.
Ranma ignored her and went straight to his room. Everyone else just ignored them and continued eating as Ranma came back out about ten minutes later with a suitcase in his hands.
"Boy! Where are you going?! " Genma asked.
"I'm moving out!! "
Soun and Genma spit out the rice that was in their mouths while everyone else besides Akane looked at him. She just lowered her head in shame. "Whaaattt!!!!!!!! "
"What do you mean moving out, son? " asked Soun.
"I mean I'm moving out and no one, I mean no one,... is going to stop me!!! "
Kasumi asked, "But why Ranma? "
"Why don't you ask Akane that! "
"You're not goin' anywhere boy!! " Genma ran to his son and grabbed his arm. Soun did the same with the other arm.
"Hey!!! Let me go!!!! "
"You're not going anywhere!!! You are going to marry Akane and take over the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts after us, boy!!!! You've got to have honor!!!! "
"I don't give a damn about honor so let me go!!!!! " He stepped on Soun's foot making him loose his grip on him. Then he used his hand and hit his father but he dodged. He quickly reacted by doing a leg sweep and Genma hit the ground. Soun charged at him and swung punches but Ranma dodged them all. He used his chestnuts roasting on an open fire technique on the two adults. They managed to dodge the first twenty-five swings but got hit after that and they fell unconscious.
"Ranma!!! How dare you hit my dad!! " Akane yelled and charged at him. He hit her in the gut and she fell on her knees in pain. Then he picked up his suitcase and walked out the door. All Kasumi, Nabiki, and Akane could do was watch him for the last time as he disappeared from sight...
"I didn't even get to apologize...... I'm sorry...Ranma....." whispered Akane. "I hope you enjoy your new life...."
Ranma got out of the taxi and went stared at the view in front of him. "The airport...... Good. We're gonna meet again Bunny... my best friend...." He went to a booth and lined up. After fifteen minutes of waiting, it was finally his turn.
"Hello! Can I help you mister? " The man at the counter asked.
"Yes. I was wonderin',.... when is the next flight to Tokyo? "
"You're in luck. The next flight is in twenty-five minutes on the Japanese Airlines #703. "
"Great!! I'll take it!! "
"Oooook. That'll be 1050 yen, please. " I don't know much about Japanese money so I'm making it up. If anybody know, please tell me! Arigato!!
Ranma took out his wallet and took out 1050 yen and gave it to the man. *I'm glad I took that job at that ice cream parlor. Too bad no one knew about this... It really paid off...*
"Thank you... And here's your plane ticket. Bye! "
"Thanks man! Bye! "
Ranma left the booth and went looking for his plane. He found it in five minutes and boarded the plane waiting for it to take off to his destination......
~ Ends of Flashback ~
"And that's what happened..." Ranma finished. Everyone was quiet. They didn't know what to say. Well, almost everyone was quiet...
"How can they treat you like that?!!! You're right!!! They don't treat you like a human being!!! Ugh!!! I swear to Kami if they were here right now, I'll them a thing or two about treating you the way they did!!!! " Usagi was beyond mad. He best friend was treated like that and they didn't even care!
Everyone in the room was surprised. They've never seen Usagi act like this before. Ikuko broke the silence, "Anno.... Why don't you get some rest Ranma. You must be really exhausted... You can stay in Usagi's room. It's more bigger than Shingo's. Tomorrow's Monday. I'll enroll you in Juuban High School, ok? "
"Yea, that's fine with me..... I guess I am kinda tired too......~ He got up and began stretching and everyone else did the same. "Oh yea, I almost forgot. Can you guys please.....please promise me that you guys wont tell anyone about me and my curse? I really want to keep my pride and stuff..."
"Sure!! No problem! " They said.
"My lips are sealed!! " said Usagi, smiling.
"Do you want some dinner, Ranma? I can bring it up to you while you unpack. I already fixed my room for you. "
"Ok! Thanks Bunny! "
~ That night at 11... Usagi's Room ~
Usagi was lying in bed with her covers over her blanket up to her shoulders. She had her hands under her head thinking about stuff. She turned her head left and Ranma was lying in his bed across the room from hers. "Hey Ranma? You asleep? "
"Naw... I ain't sleepy for some reason. Just tired. Why? "
"Iie. It's just that I was wondering, since it's school tomorrow and Luna isn't here, could you wake me up before school? I don't want to be late for school. "
"Sure...... Oh yea, who's your boyfriend, huh? You owe me for helping you back at the airport. " He said, a wide grin appeared on his face. He also had his hands behind his head.
"Hai, I'll tell you. I'm just so glad that Tousan forgot abut that issue...... Well, his name is Mamoru Chiba and he's twenty-years- old. "
"Twenty years old??!!! "
"Shhh!!!! I don't want Tousan and Kaasan to hear!!! "
"Oh, sorry......Bunny. Don't you think he's a little too old for you? "
"I think when it comes to love, age doesn't matter. It never did matter between us...... Anyways, he has dark, dark blue hair that almost look black and eyes are the same color. He's a head taller than me and is a little bit built. I met him two years ago and he's the sweetest guy I've ever met. Well, I love him very, very much and I know he loves me as much as I love him. But he's away at college in America though..."
"And he says he loves you when he's away at college!! "
"I don't want him to stay because of me...." Her voice lowered, "though it's been two months and he hasn't responded to any of my letters.... I wonder if he's ok..."
"He hasn't responded to your letters?!!! "
She just nodded. "My friends don't know though. Please don't tell them if you see them Ranma. I don't want them to worry or anything. Promise me? "
She gave him those pleading eyes and he couldn't say no to them and reluctantly nodded. "Arigato... "
"Haven't you ever thought that this Mamoru guy is a player, Bunny? I'm worried about you..."
She shakes her head, "Iie. Mamo-chan isn't like that. I know him. He'd never do that. "
Ranma sighs, "Just be careful, ok?... I don't want to see my best friend all heart broken because of a jerk..."
"Hai!! Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.......... Oh, tomorrow, I'll introduce you my friends. "
"Alright. Good night. "
"Hai, konban wa. "
Ranma looked out the window at stared at the moon. *You can start your life completely over... I'll enjoy life this time too....* Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Usagi took one last look at Ranma for the night, *I won't let you suffer and go through like what you had to last time as long as I'm here, Ranma. I'll make sure you'll be happy and will enjoy your life. You can count on me.... I wont let you down........*
She smiled at him and closed her eyes too and instantly dozed off...
AN: Did you like it? Don't worry!! There will be more of the Fushigi Yugi gang coming up!!!!! Please review!!!!!!!!!! Ja ne!!!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Sailor Moon, Fushigi Yugi, and Ranma. gives a depressing sigh......
Chapter 1:
The black haired teenage boy looked out the clear window of the train, the rain outside made the mood even more calm and serene. Many people would probably hate the rain because of the quietness, and loneliness and the fact that they couldn't go outside and be with their friends, but this boy was actually content and relieved. There were three words that said it all.... He was free..... Free from all the people in his life that made his life so hard and complicated. There was still one thing that he wasn't, or probably would never be free from but that didn't bother him that much at that moment.
He gazed at his own reflection as the rain flowed down the window on the outside. This teenager had his hair in low, single braid, had black calm yet wild eyes, and wore a red, ancient chinese short sleeved shirt with golden buttons and a regular black pants.
"I'm finally free......... No more uncute tomboy, no more P-chan, no more Shampoo, Ukyou, Mousse, that old ghoul and that old freak, Kuno, Kodachi, Nabiki, and finally...... no more talk about having honor to the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts...... I just had enough with them and I couldn't take it anymore............ Now I can start my life over in Tokyo with my Aunt Ikuko and Uncle Kenji. Oh yea...Usagi too......"
The P.A. system is that what you call it? came on and the flight commander is there such thing as this? I'm so baka... *shakes my head in shame* spoke to all the passengers on board the plane, "Flight #703 on board the Japanese Airlines I made this up... will be landing in Tokyo in less than five minutes. Everyone, please remain in your seats and keep the seat belts buckled. Wait for our assurance before you unbuckle the seat belt and stand up to get off. Thank you."
*Just ten more minutes... Then I can see you again, Usagi. I missed you guys so much. I wonder how Shingo is like. I remember.... he was still too young at that time.....*
"The flight has ended and I assure you that everything is fine. We hope you enjoy the flight! Have a nice day everyone!! "
The content boy gathered his luggage and got off the plane and walked down the steps. He searched around for his relatives but didn't see them anywhere. "I wonder where they could be? "
Just then, he heard someone call out his name and he turned to the direction of the voice...
~ An hour earlier at the Tsukino residence ~
"Shingo!! Hurry up!!! We might be late to pick up Ranma!!!!! " The blonde fifteen-year-old yelled at her younger brother.
"I'm comin'!! I'm comin'!!!! Hold your horses!!!! Who's Ranma anyways?!! " Shingo grumpily answered and he dragged his feet down the stairs.
"He's your cousin, baka!!!! "
"Cousin?!!! We don't have any cousin!! First you tell me to come down and close my Sailor Moon game!! Now you're lying to me that we have a cousin when we don't have any at all!!!!! Man!!!! I also beat the whole game too!! "
"Urusai!!! We do have a cousin!!!! His name is Ranma Saotome!!! "
Their father stepped into the room, "Stop arguing you two!!! "
"Gomen Tousan" They said lowering their heads in shame.
"Shingo. You do have a cousin. It's just that you were only one and a half years old. You were too young to remember him"
"Oh... How old is he Tousan? "
"He's the same age as Usagi, 16. "
"Cool!! I've always wanted an older brother!!! I bet Ranma's someone who's smart and can actually help me on my homework!!! " Looks at Usagi.
"Urusai you little brat!!! "
"Ok!! That's enough!!! We have to get going!!! It's going to be four 'o clock right now and I can't stand being stuck in traffic during traffic hour!! "
"We're done Tousan! "
Kenji looked up the stairs, "Honey!! Are you done?!! "
Ikuko came running down the steps, "Gomen nasai dear. Let's get going. "
The quartet nodded to one another and ran to their car and drove off to the airport.
"Oi Odango atama? " Shingo asked once they got out of the car.
"Don't call me that!!! "
"How did you guys find out that Ranma was gonna come? "
"Shingo no baka!! Didn't you hear me talking to someone on the phone this morning?! "
"Ohhhh.... So that was Ranma.. I thought you were talking to your boyfriend, Mamoru Chiba. Or should I say, Mamo-chan. " He taunted in a mocking voice.
"Urusai!!! " She screamed. "No one makes fun of my Mamo-chan!!! "
"Mamo-chan!!! Boyfriend??!!!!!! " Kenji bellowed as steam came out from his head and his ears.
"Oh no!.. Now Tousan is gonna kill me! " She softly yelled.
"Now calm down honey. We'll talk about this at home. We don't want to draw attention. " Ikuko said trying to calm her husband down.
"Iie!!! We'll talk about this.... now!!!!!... Usagi!!!! You better start explaining!!! "
"Anno.... You see.... I..... no.....He's....--."
"Tousan! Did I ever tell you that Mamoru was twenty-one? " Shingo laughed grinned mischievously as he rubbed it in more.
"Shingo!!!!!!!! I swear to Kami you are soooooooooo dead!!!!!!!!!!!!! " She screamed so loud, which caught almost everyone's attention, and started chasing after her now frightened brother.
"Okasan!!!! Otousan!!!!! Somebody!!!!! Anybody!!!!!! Help me!!!!!!"
"Come back here you coward!!!!!!" She chased after him, oblivious to her father's shouts that told her to come back and that he wasn't done talking to her. There was a crowd of people coming and Shingo ran towards them. Usagi was too busy trying to catch and kill her brother when she ran into someone and fell back hitting her head on the cold marble floor. The other person stumbled but didn't fall.
"Ow.... Itai... Gomen.. " Usagi said.
Someone helped her up and she rubbed her head. She already felt a bump there as her fingers brushed across it and she winced in pain.
"It's ok. Daijoubu ka? "
"Hai, arigato. " She opened her eyes and met such beautiful lavender ones and a slight gasp escaped her mouth as she stared at the handsome guy, his face just inches away from hers.
"Konnichiwa. Watashi wa Miaka Yuki. " Another friendly voice said making her blush as she realized she was staring, and move away. She looked up again and saw eight people, seven of them were men, and the one that introduced herself, was a girl, probably around her age.
"Moshi moshi. Watashi wa Usagi Tsukino!!... " She extended her arms out with a warm smile on her face and the girl shook her hand.
"As you know, I'm Miaka and these are my friends. This one here is Hotohori, and that's Nuriko, Chichiri, Mitsukake, Tasuki, Churiko, and this is my boyfriend, Tamahome. "
"Nice to meet you all. "
"Nice to meet you too, Usagi-san. " They all said.
"Just Usagi or Usagi-chan is fine.... Anno... why are you guys dressed like that? It seems different from the clothes we have....... I know I saw something like that in a book or something but I don't remember where...." you know, the ones that they wore the first time they met Miaka. I don't really quite remember the details and I don't wanna start explain it cause I'm terrible when it comes to explaining clothes. Gomen...
Everyone stiffened and chuckled nervously.
"I know!!!! " The group froze even more, if that was possible. They all had one thought in mind, *could she know about the book, The Universe of the Four Gods and everything else?*
"You guys are heading to a costume party, ne?!! "
Miaka, Tamahome, Nuriko, and Tasuki fell over anime style at that while the others sighed in relief. "You're really funny, no da. " Chichiri said.
"Huh? How come? "
"She's just like you Miaka. " Tasuki said.
"Urusai Suki-chan!!! "
"Don't call me that!!! "
"Then don't make fun of me. "
"Fine. "
"Fine. "
"Hmph! " They both said at the same time.
"Uuussaaggiii!!!!! "
Now it was Usagi's turn to freeze as she gulped and silently prayed that it wasn't who she thought it was. She slowly turned around and bit her lip when she saw her father marching up to her with her mother behind him. Shingo was right to his father sticking his tongue out at her. She made her fist and glared at her baka brother.
"You're not getting away from this one, young lady!!!! "
"Hai, Tousan..."
"Now start explaining why you're dating a twenty-one year old man who's six years older than you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You better tell me where is that Chiba guy right now!!! I swear I'm gonna hunt him down for even talking to you!!!!!! "
"Tousan!! "
"Who are these people Usagi?!!! One of these is probably Chiba, your boyfriend huh?!!!! "
Miaka and them widened their eyes when he said this.
"Iie Tousan!!!! These are my friends I just met!!! "
"Honey please!!! " Ikuko pleaded. "We came here to pick up Ranma!! We will talk about this later!! "
"Ranma! I totally forgot about him!!!! He's gonna hate me!!!..... Shingo!! This is all your fault!! " Usagi frantically searched around when she spotted someone that looked like the Ranma she remembered but only older. She rushed over to the teenager and shouted out his name.
"Ranma!!!! "
The one named Ranma turned around and saw his cousin running up to him. "Usagi!! Is that you?! "
"Hai!! It's me!! " She threw herself in his arms and he dropped his bags, hugging her back. "It's so good to see you again!! "
"You too Bunny. "
She pulled him towards her parents, "Still calling me that? " She giggled, "Come on!!.... Tousan! Kaasan!! Look! It's Ranma!!! "
"Ranma!! You've grown so much!! " Ikuko said hugging him.
"Aunt Ikuko!! Uncle Kenji!! And you must be Shingo! "
"Yup! That's me! "
"Usagi!!!! Are gonna explain why you have a college boyfriend or not?!!! "
Ranma's eyes widened in surprise, *a college boyfriend?!* Usagi gave him a pleading look and he spoke, "Uncle Kenji? Can we get something to eat? I'm kinda hungry..."
"Huh? Yea, sure Ranma. Let's go. "
Usagi sighed in relief and content and mouthed a `thank you` to him. He just smiled, "We'll talk later..."
Her parents left first, followed by her cousin and bratty brother. Then she turned to her new friends, "Gomen nasai minna. I have to go. It was a pleasure meeting you all!! Ja ne!! "
"Ja ne! " The group called to her. She smiled and ran after her family, waving good-bye and they did the same in return.
"What a weird girl. " Tasuki remarked.
Tamahome hit him on the head, "We're not exactly normal ourselves either, no da. "
~ Tsukino household ~
"C..C..C...Cat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Ranma dashed out of Usagi's room and the living room.
"Ranma!! What's wrong?! " Usagi yelled as she carried Luna and ran down the stairs. "Ranma! What's the matter?! "
"Usagi!! Get that c..c...ca... cat away from me!!! "
Usagi looked at her cousin carefully, eyes full of concern and anxiety. *He's absolutely terrified of Luna. No, of cats...... What made him so frightened of a cat?...* "Luna. Go outside, away from here right now. " She whispered. Luna nodded and jumped through the open window.
"Luna's gone Ranma. It's ok now. " Ranma was still trembling but managed to calm down. Her family just ran into the room, "What's goin' on? Why were you guys screaming?! "
"I think Ranma is afraid of cats. "
"Honto? Is that true Ranma? " Ikuko questioned.
"Hai. It's all pops fault!! "
"Uncle Genma? "
"Who's Uncle Genma? "
"That's Ranma's dad, baka. "
"So what happened? What did my brother do this time? " Kenji asked.
"Well, when departed ten years ago, pops took me to go to different training grounds and try to get better and learn more techniques and moves. There was this technique called neko-ken or cat fist and pops made me learn it. In order to learn that technique, that person must be strapped with pounds of fish sausages and be thrown in to a pit of starving cats. I was in the pit for two days and nights I'm not sure if that's right. Sorry if I'm wrong! and that's what happened to me. And now, if I get too close to a cat or vice versa, I loose control of my mind and I become or think I'm a cat myself....... "
Usagi gasped, "That's so awful!!! How could Uncle Genma do that to you?!! "
He family nodded in agreement. Then Shingo spoke, "Ranma? Is that why you ran away? "
"Iie. There are far more things just as bad as that. "
"Like what? " Usagi asked, curiosity getting the best of her.
"Well......" Ranma began to tell them about everything. Even about his curse. He wanted to keep his pride but he couldn't lie to his family who let him stay with them. He wouldn't do that. A half hour later 6:58 p.m..........
"Watch. " He dumped the cold water over his head and they gasped in shock when he changed to his girl form. Usagi giggled at this. "It's not at all funny, Bunny!!! " hey!! I made a rhyme!!...*everyone stares at me like I'm some idiot.*..silence.... *sweatdrops*....
"Gomen, it's just that you're almost as good looking as me. " She joked and smirked.
"Pullleeezzz Bunny... I am far more beautiful and better built than you are when I'm in my cursed form. " She shot back proudly.
"Are not! "
"Are too! "
"Are not! "
"Are too! "
"Nuh uh! "
"Yuh huh! "
They both looked at each other and burst into laughter. "You still haven't changed after all these years!!! " The duo said at the same time. The best friends hugged each other and smiled.
"I miss you so much ever since you had to leave with your dad......I thought we wouldn't see each other anymore when you didn't come back a year later....... Ran-chan. We're still best friends like before..... and for eternity, right? " A tear slipped out of her right eye and down her pale cheek and onto her shirt. remember, Ranma is still in his cursed form.
"Of course we are, Bunny. You'll always be my best friend no matter what... "
"Arigato..."
".....Weeelllll, on one condition. "
"What is it? "
"Don't ever call me Ran-chan again. It reminds me of Ukyou because she calls me that..."
"Ok. "
"Oh, don't thank me. I want to thank you..."
"......"
"You're my first and only true friend who understands me, unlike everyone else......."
Then Kenji asked, "Ranma. Can I ask, what made you leave after staying a year at the Tendo Dojo? "
"You see, yesterday......"
~ Flashback ~
Ranma was walking down the streets and had just come back from the intense and exhausting training that Happosai had given him in the woods. He was now walking home, looking like a complete mess. Most of his hair was sticking out from his braid, his clothes were wrinkled, and his heavy backpack made him even more tired than he already is.
"Stupid pops and Mr. Tendo. Why'd they gotta make go train with that old freak of nature! That's already torture!! And they tell that uncute tomboy to come along too!! Jeez!!!" He let out a breath, "I'm already so damn tired with that training. Then that dumb Akane have to constantly hit and accuse me for things I didn't do and the pervert is always on my case too, giving me more trouble... "
"I finally found you Ranma!!! You're not running away and I'm gonna beat you this time!!!!! Yaahhhh!!!! " Ryouga launched his umbrella at him who he managed to dodge even in his condition.
"Look Ryouga. I'm not in the mood to fight. Come back tomorrow or something. "
"No!!! I'm going to settle this once and for all!!!! " He threw a fury of punches and kicks while Ranma dodged them but got hit by a few. Ranma dumped his backpack on the ground and the two charged at each other. After a while, Ranma was losing and Ryouga would keep his pace up. Then Ryouga kicked Ranma in the gut and he went flying into the wall, making a deep crater.
"Ranma!!!! Ranma!!! " Ryouga turned around and saw Shampoo came running towards them with a brown paper bag in her hands.
Ranma was going to attack again but saw a hose next to him. He turned on the water and shot the water at Ryouga. Ryouga turned around but it was too late to dodge the upcoming blast of cold water. He was soaking wet as he changed into his cursed form, a black pig. Ranma walked over to the pig, "How do you like it now huh, P-chan? "
P-chan was furious and jumped at him but he hit P-chan in the face and he fell with a light thud.
"Ranma!!!!!! "
"Just great. Just what I need right now. " He muttered. Shampoo threw herself at him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Ranma!! Try my rice cake!! "
"No Shampoo. Leave me alone. "
"Please Ranma!! I made just for you!! "
"I wont eat it! "
"Why Ranma? "
" 'Cuz the last time I did I had to hug anyone who sneezed!!! I got hit so many times by Akane and everyone else!! I ain't goin' through that again so don't count on me eating your food, Shampoo!! "
"Ok..... Go on date with Shampoo? "
"For the last time.... No!!!!! Shampoo!! Get away from me! " He tried to push her away or get away from her but she wouldn't let go.
Then Ukyou came with her big spatula behind her back. "Ran-chan!!! Want some okynomiyaki?!! "
"No, Ucc-chan. I just want to be alone right now. "
"Come on!! I am your cute fiancé. Let's go back to my restaurant! "
"Ucc-chan, please!! "
Before Ukyou could respond, Kodachi came running with her ribbon in her hands. "Ranma, darling!!! I missed you sooooo much!!! Come here!!!! "
Just then, P-chan charged at him again, biting him really hard on the leg and getting distracted. "Ahhhh! You stupid dumb pig!!! I'll get you for that!! " Kodachi took this advantage and wrapped her ribbons around him. "What?!! Hey Kodachi!!! Let me go!!! " He struggled to get free but Kodachi pulled on the ribbon and he was dragged to her.
"Hey!!! Let my Ran-chan go!! " She ran to Ranma and pulled him towards her.
"Shut up ya hussy!! Ranma's mine!!! " And pulled him back. Shampoo joined them too, "Leave Ranma alone!!!! " They kept pulling him back and forth like some old ragged doll while he was still trying to get the black pig off of him and get untangled at the same time. He managed to kick P-chan off of him and he flew a couple of feet back. Akane just showed up when she saw Ranma kicked the pig.
"P-chan!!!!! " She runs to him and picks him up. "Poor P-chan... Are you ok? " and he nods his head. She turns to yell at Ranma when Ranma `playing` with the other three. "Ugh!!! You pervert!!!!!!!!! " She rushed at him, pushing the trio away and hit him in the head with her mallet. He became confused and collapsed to the ground. She was mainly mad at him for `playing` with them but she'd never admit it so she yelled at him about P -chan instead.
"Owwww!!!!!! What was that for you uncute tomboy!!!!!! " "How many times have I told you to stop picking on
P-chan?!!!!!! "
"That stupid pig of yours started it!!!!!! " He shouted back as he finally got out of the ribbons. Shampoo, Ukyou, and Kodachi was arguing with each other over who Ranma belonged to, unaware of everything else that was going on.
Then Kuno appeared next, "Kodachi!! Come back!!! " He stopped when he saw his rival yelling at his Akane.
"Raaaannmmaaaaa!!!!!! Get away from my Akane!!!!!! " He charged at Ranma and P-chan did the same thing but Ranma stopped them before they could pounce on him.
"Thaaaaaat's eeeennnnoooouuuugggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! "
All stopped shouting and everyone were silent as they stared at him. The only sounds that could be heard was the light wind blowing and Ranma's hard panting.
"I've had enough with every single one of you!!!!! All of you just think that I'm some plush doll that you can do anything you want with or some prize you want to hang up on you wall!!!!!! Well, I'm not going to take it any longer!!!! I have already thought about running away before but I figured I'd give you guys a couple of more chances and trust you to change and treat me like an actual person, but boy was I wrong!!!!!!!!! I won't go on like this so I have made my final decision and move out!!!!!! Out of the Tendo Dojo and out of Nerima!!!!!!! I won't ever come back either even if my life depended it!!!!!!!!!!! "
"But Ranma!! What about us?! What about the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts?!! Do you not have honor? !!! " Akane started.
"Shut up Akane Tendo!!!!! Don't you even start with me!!!!!! First of all, there was no us!!!!! I might have had feelings for you but that was long gone!!!!!! As for the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts, I don't care!!!!! You figure out what to do!!!!! And don't you even dare talk about honor in front of me!!!!!!!! Did you really think that I was stupid enough to not know that you were two-timin' with Ryouga behind my back?!!!!!!! "
Everyone gasped at this in shock but didn't say anything.
"There were so many clues about Ryouga turning into his cursed form and you couldn't figure it out through each one!!!!!!!! That's bull!!!!!!!......... As for everyone else I'm breaking off every engagement I had with anyone!!!!! That's my final decision and no one and nothing can make me change my mind!!!!!!!!!!!! "
He walked over to his backpack and picked it up and started walking off.
"Where are you going? Ryouga asked.
"To the Tendo's Dojo to pack my stuff! "
"Where are you going afterwards? "
"To a relative's house..." And he continued walking while the group watched him go until they no longer saw his figure... They all went home, not a single word was spoken between them. Ranma saw a tree ahead of him as his vision continued to get blurrier by the second. He began swaying back and forth as he still tried to reach the tree and lie down. But he was too tired and didn't make it even if it was just a couple of more feet and he collapsed to the ground and his eye lids shutting slowly and darkness overwhelmed him...
~ Tendo Dojo ~
Akane got home after an hour and a half of walking and having some thinking of her own. She felt terribly guilty and horrible because she knew that everything that Ranma had said to her in her face was the truth. She never meant to use him but she only did it so she could please her father. She knew how much the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts meant to him but that was no excuse for using Ranma. She checked the clock. It was 3:05... She sighed and went to the dojo and began to hit the punching bag putting all her anger at herself and stress on her punches and kicks. At the same time she tried to think of how she would apologize to him but everything she thought of didn't seem right.
Just then her sister Kasumi came in, "Akane! Dinner is ready!! Come down in five minutes!! "
"Ok! Thanks Kasumi!!........ Yaaaahhh!!!!! " She put all of her anger in her last punch and the punching bag exploded, all the sand inside spilled across the room. She panted from exhaustion and left the dojo. After washing up, she came into the living room where everyone everyone as in Genma, Soun, Kasumi, and Nabikielse was and sat down to eat. She looked around but didn't see Ranma anywhere. "Hey everyone. Have you guys seen Ranma? "
"No. He hasn't come back since you guys went to train with Happosai. " Kasumi answered. "I wonder where could he be at. It's already 7:38..."
"I'm right here! " Everyone turned and looked at the door and saw Ranma come in.
"Ranma!! Where were you?!! " Akane yelled.
Ranma ignored her and went straight to his room. Everyone else just ignored them and continued eating as Ranma came back out about ten minutes later with a suitcase in his hands.
"Boy! Where are you going?! " Genma asked.
"I'm moving out!! "
Soun and Genma spit out the rice that was in their mouths while everyone else besides Akane looked at him. She just lowered her head in shame. "Whaaattt!!!!!!!! "
"What do you mean moving out, son? " asked Soun.
"I mean I'm moving out and no one, I mean no one,... is going to stop me!!! "
Kasumi asked, "But why Ranma? "
"Why don't you ask Akane that! "
"You're not goin' anywhere boy!! " Genma ran to his son and grabbed his arm. Soun did the same with the other arm.
"Hey!!! Let me go!!!! "
"You're not going anywhere!!! You are going to marry Akane and take over the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts after us, boy!!!! You've got to have honor!!!! "
"I don't give a damn about honor so let me go!!!!! " He stepped on Soun's foot making him loose his grip on him. Then he used his hand and hit his father but he dodged. He quickly reacted by doing a leg sweep and Genma hit the ground. Soun charged at him and swung punches but Ranma dodged them all. He used his chestnuts roasting on an open fire technique on the two adults. They managed to dodge the first twenty-five swings but got hit after that and they fell unconscious.
"Ranma!!! How dare you hit my dad!! " Akane yelled and charged at him. He hit her in the gut and she fell on her knees in pain. Then he picked up his suitcase and walked out the door. All Kasumi, Nabiki, and Akane could do was watch him for the last time as he disappeared from sight...
"I didn't even get to apologize...... I'm sorry...Ranma....." whispered Akane. "I hope you enjoy your new life...."
Ranma got out of the taxi and went stared at the view in front of him. "The airport...... Good. We're gonna meet again Bunny... my best friend...." He went to a booth and lined up. After fifteen minutes of waiting, it was finally his turn.
"Hello! Can I help you mister? " The man at the counter asked.
"Yes. I was wonderin',.... when is the next flight to Tokyo? "
"You're in luck. The next flight is in twenty-five minutes on the Japanese Airlines #703. "
"Great!! I'll take it!! "
"Oooook. That'll be 1050 yen, please. " I don't know much about Japanese money so I'm making it up. If anybody know, please tell me! Arigato!!
Ranma took out his wallet and took out 1050 yen and gave it to the man. *I'm glad I took that job at that ice cream parlor. Too bad no one knew about this... It really paid off...*
"Thank you... And here's your plane ticket. Bye! "
"Thanks man! Bye! "
Ranma left the booth and went looking for his plane. He found it in five minutes and boarded the plane waiting for it to take off to his destination......
~ Ends of Flashback ~
"And that's what happened..." Ranma finished. Everyone was quiet. They didn't know what to say. Well, almost everyone was quiet...
"How can they treat you like that?!!! You're right!!! They don't treat you like a human being!!! Ugh!!! I swear to Kami if they were here right now, I'll them a thing or two about treating you the way they did!!!! " Usagi was beyond mad. He best friend was treated like that and they didn't even care!
Everyone in the room was surprised. They've never seen Usagi act like this before. Ikuko broke the silence, "Anno.... Why don't you get some rest Ranma. You must be really exhausted... You can stay in Usagi's room. It's more bigger than Shingo's. Tomorrow's Monday. I'll enroll you in Juuban High School, ok? "
"Yea, that's fine with me..... I guess I am kinda tired too......~ He got up and began stretching and everyone else did the same. "Oh yea, I almost forgot. Can you guys please.....please promise me that you guys wont tell anyone about me and my curse? I really want to keep my pride and stuff..."
"Sure!! No problem! " They said.
"My lips are sealed!! " said Usagi, smiling.
"Do you want some dinner, Ranma? I can bring it up to you while you unpack. I already fixed my room for you. "
"Ok! Thanks Bunny! "
~ That night at 11... Usagi's Room ~
Usagi was lying in bed with her covers over her blanket up to her shoulders. She had her hands under her head thinking about stuff. She turned her head left and Ranma was lying in his bed across the room from hers. "Hey Ranma? You asleep? "
"Naw... I ain't sleepy for some reason. Just tired. Why? "
"Iie. It's just that I was wondering, since it's school tomorrow and Luna isn't here, could you wake me up before school? I don't want to be late for school. "
"Sure...... Oh yea, who's your boyfriend, huh? You owe me for helping you back at the airport. " He said, a wide grin appeared on his face. He also had his hands behind his head.
"Hai, I'll tell you. I'm just so glad that Tousan forgot abut that issue...... Well, his name is Mamoru Chiba and he's twenty-years- old. "
"Twenty years old??!!! "
"Shhh!!!! I don't want Tousan and Kaasan to hear!!! "
"Oh, sorry......Bunny. Don't you think he's a little too old for you? "
"I think when it comes to love, age doesn't matter. It never did matter between us...... Anyways, he has dark, dark blue hair that almost look black and eyes are the same color. He's a head taller than me and is a little bit built. I met him two years ago and he's the sweetest guy I've ever met. Well, I love him very, very much and I know he loves me as much as I love him. But he's away at college in America though..."
"And he says he loves you when he's away at college!! "
"I don't want him to stay because of me...." Her voice lowered, "though it's been two months and he hasn't responded to any of my letters.... I wonder if he's ok..."
"He hasn't responded to your letters?!!! "
She just nodded. "My friends don't know though. Please don't tell them if you see them Ranma. I don't want them to worry or anything. Promise me? "
She gave him those pleading eyes and he couldn't say no to them and reluctantly nodded. "Arigato... "
"Haven't you ever thought that this Mamoru guy is a player, Bunny? I'm worried about you..."
She shakes her head, "Iie. Mamo-chan isn't like that. I know him. He'd never do that. "
Ranma sighs, "Just be careful, ok?... I don't want to see my best friend all heart broken because of a jerk..."
"Hai!! Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.......... Oh, tomorrow, I'll introduce you my friends. "
"Alright. Good night. "
"Hai, konban wa. "
Ranma looked out the window at stared at the moon. *You can start your life completely over... I'll enjoy life this time too....* Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Usagi took one last look at Ranma for the night, *I won't let you suffer and go through like what you had to last time as long as I'm here, Ranma. I'll make sure you'll be happy and will enjoy your life. You can count on me.... I wont let you down........*
She smiled at him and closed her eyes too and instantly dozed off...
