Morning at Furinkan High. They could see her, off in the distance,
running toward the gates. The roar came up from the milling crowd:
"Here she comes!"
They began to assemble...

The girl was running as fast as she could for the gate, her hair
flying in the wind, bouncing with every stride. At this point, she
knew what lay ahead between her and the school entrance, and she was
loath to think about it. Those cretins...
Well, woe be to all who dare challenge me...
She crossed the threshold of the entrance gate; that was the signal for
the melee to begin. As one, the throng advanced raggedly upon the girl
that was their hearts' desire, the girl they didn't know, but wanted to
so deperately as to fight her. Ah, but if they only did know...
Nabiki had already perched herself at the window, and was watching the
fray with considerable interest. "Let's see if she manages this
time..." A slight smile twisted her lips as she spoke.
Indeed, she was doing quite well. A sweep of the right arm, and three
cross-country runners bit the dust. A left hook, and a boxer fell.
The boys were falling like cherry blossoms, just like they used to in
the old days.
"They never learn, do they? They can't win."
The shouts were starting to reach the upper floors by now: "Say you'll
be mine!" "Let me defeat you with my love!" "I wanna know you better!"
"Come date with -- OOF!" The cries of pain were wafting up there, too.
And the pain she had inflicted was considerable. Nearly fifty bodies
were strewn across the front of the Furinkan campus, moaning in agony.
The girl sniffed in contempt at the fallen masses...
...and raised her boketo in a gesture of triumph and defiance.
"Pah. What fools these mortals be. How dare they think they could
unseat me for the captaincy of the kendo club. Surely after these two
weeks they would know the inexorable wrath of the Blue Thunder of
Furinkan High!"
On cue, the lightning flashed, the thunder crashed, and a cool rain
fell upon the figure of what was now Tatewaki Kuno. He turned, and
calmly walked into the school building.
***
Ranma-chan and Akane picked their way through the remains of the
battlefield. "They haven't figured it out, have they?"
Ranma-chan shook her head. "And you'd think Kuno would catch on, too.
What's it been, ten days straight that Sasuke's been waking Kuno with a
splash of that instant Nyanniichuan we gave him? He *still* doesn't
believe he turns into a girl."
"And he hasn't stopped hitting on you, either."
"Nope." They were at the door, which Ranma-chan held open for Akane.
"Well, at least he gets a taste of what he inflicted on you earlier
this year, huh?"
"Maybe, but you'd think he'd learn..."
"Nope. He never does. They never do."

Hiya! Ukyou here...
It's been a slow month or two as far as writing goes, and this isn't
much, I know, but it's just to letcha know I'm still alive and writing,
if only trivial stuff like this. Hope ya like it.
I've got plenty of others (most of 'em better than this one) on my
webpage at http://members.aol.com/ukyoukwnji/index.htm. Check it out,
if you've got the time.
Anyway, enough from me -- back to the other fics, ne? Ja!
Itsu mo,
Ucchan ^_^
