Notes

I've decided to upload this now, even though I could still improve it. I'm looking for pre-readers, so, if anyone wants to help me…

In any case, this is a My HiME / Ranma crossover, it focuses mostly on Ranma 1/2 characters, using the characters from My HiME as a 'new' secondary cast of sorts. That's not to say that they won't be important, specially considering that most of the fic will be a remake of My HiME with Ranma characters thrown in, but it'll follow mostly Ranma's and Akane's point of views.

At least, initially, I'll stay with the canon pairings, and so far, I only have planned one non-canon pairing, though it'll happen only much later.

Don't expect me to follow My HiME's continuity completely. The plot will be mostly the same, but there will be more HiMEs than in the original series, and I might change a few minor background elements too.

I don't own Ranma 1/2 or My HiME...

Run, My HiME!

Chapter 1- Good bye, Nerima?

"Fuka Gakuen?" Nabiki's eyes bulged upon reading that name. "You mean… The Fuka Gakuen?"

"Yes, they've sent an invitation for Akane." Soun Tendo replied while his middle daughter could only look at him in shock.

"Bu-But… Why Akane? Her grades aren't even that good!" Nabiki angrily snorted, taking the letter from Soun's hand.

"And that's not all." Mr. Tendo continued.

"What…?"

"According to that letter, Akane and one other person will receive a free scholarship." Tendo stopped for a moment, before drinking a cup of tea.

"And that other person is Ranma!" Genma suddenly shouted. "After that wedding fiasco, it'll be good to let those two stay away from here for a while".

Nabiki closed her eyes and sighted. "Ok, first, Akane gets invited by a renowned private school while I'm ignored, and, now, Ranma, my main source of income, is going there too!" That definitely wasn't a good day. However, she wasn't about to let her life be turned upside down just like that…

A girl stood alone, looking at the entrance of a large building. Several months ago, that building, Furinkan High, was known as an eccentric institute, however, in those last months, it had become much more. Many battles, adventures and troubles had taken place there. However, one looking at the empty building, devoid of the usual lively students, deafening sounds, wouldn't believe in tales of everything that happened there in the last year.

The short black hair of the girl was waving back and forth by the cold wind blowing through that courtyard. She wore a modest blue and white dress, the feminine uniform of that school. Countless memories from her entire life went through her mind as she examined that place that had been so familiar to her. That'd be probably the last time she would go there, and she couldn't help but feel sentimental about it, after spending a good part of her life in that school.

Ranma quickly skimmed through ceilings of nearby houses. After the entrance became visible to him, he made a quick stop, before somersaulting towards Akane. He landed swiftly, slowly walking towards her. Akane wasn't looking at the school any longer, but towards the moon which slowly appeared as the sky darkened.

"Hey!" Ranma exclaimed, but quickly was frustrated as he received no answer. "What's it?" He wondered, staring at the moon, like his fiancée was doing, but there wasn't anything peculiar. After a few moments of awkward silence, he stared at Akane.

"Are you daydreaming again, tomboy?"

"Ah… Ranma?" Akane's eyes shined, as they became alive again, the strange void shown by them quickly vanishing. However, instead of the expected angry glare towards him, Akane's expression still seemed empty.

"Hey! Don't look at me like that! Get angry or something!"

"You're used to it, right?" A small smiled seemed to have been drawn on her face, but she still seemed weird to Ranma.

"Used to… what…? You aren't making any sense today." He noted loudly.

"Moving…" Akane muttered, as Ranma finally understood what was going on. "You've traveled to many places… But… I've lived all my life here… in this place…" her hands grasped her blue dress, the uniform of the Furinkan High school.

Akane's eyes were wet, barely holding her tears. Ranma's hand rested on his fiancée's shoulder, trying to comfort her as well as he could. "Hey, don't worry. It might seem a little weird in the beginning, but you'll get along just fine."

"Ranma…?" She looked at him with surprise. That reaction definitely wasn't expected. They seemed lost in each other's eyes for a brief moment, but the spell was quickly ended as a bicycle suddenly fell on him, burying his face on the ground.

"Shampoo landed wrong…" The purple haired Amazon muttered, watching as Ranma quickly recomposed himself.

"Not again…" Ranma exclaimed, staring at Shampoo. "Well, this is probably the last day anything like this will happen, right?". Saotome added silently, his face suddenly lighting up.

"Hey, Shampoo! So, did you come to say good bye! So, I guess you'll stay with Mousse, right?" Ranma joked, just before getting a bicycle thrown at him.

"He had that coming…" Akane sighed watching as Shampoo slowly walked towards Ranma.

"Shampoo won't let husband go away! That school is cursed!" Shampoo shouted at him, who was still smiling.

"Okay, okay, Shampoo… meeting you was fun, but…" Ranma worriedly took a few steps back, as the amazon continued walking towards him.

"Shampoo is serious! She won't let that girl boyish take husband to a cursed place!" She shouted again, glaring at Akane.

"I'm not the one who invited him!" The black haired girl answered back to Shampoo, who stared angrily at her. Fiery sparks going between each other, as sweating Ranma stood in the middle of them.

"Ok-Ok. Calm down, girls. I know I'm handsome, but there's no reason to-"

"Shut up!" Akane punched her fiancé, propelling him towards the clouds.

1 minute later, a loud crash was heard, and a new crater appeared in the school's courtyard.

"What!" Tatewaki Kuno slammed his trembling hands on a wooden table, the impact was so great that it was broken apart, several fragments ricocheting through the room. "That devious Saotome has made a ploy to take my dear Akane away from me?"

"Tha-That's not what I said, Mr. Kuno." The informant stood in front of him, trembling as his angry boss glared at him.

"You don't need to inform every detail, fool! This is obviously an evil plan of that devious Saotome to keep Akane Tendo away from her beloved one! I bet he's also taking the pigtailed girl with him, enslaved in his monstrous spells." After cursing that turn of events, the kendo captain sighted "However… Fuka Gauken, wasn't it?" He grinned. "Tell father that I'll be departing tomorrow. I'm transferring to that place."

"Wha… What!"

"YES!" Tatewaki exclaimed. "Ranma! Don't think you'll ever keep my dear Akane away from me!"

Nerima, a small district of Tokyo which had come to be renowned because of the strange events which happened there during the last months, would host the beginning of yet another series of events during that night.

Near Nerima, there was a district which also had come to be infamous, however, their similarities ended there. While Nerima was mostly a weird but inoffensive place, that suburb concentrated a high amount of criminal activity. Small, unlit roads were spread all over the place. The only people walking under those shadows were, to say the least, suspicious. Thieves, motor gangs and various other delinquents practiced "night activities" without disturbance from any authority.

In one of the uncountable alleys of that place, two figures were talking to each other. One of them was a middle aged man, in his 40s, dressed in a severely dirty coat. His face held a grin as his hands slipped through a pack of money continuously. The other one, wearing a single piece leather cloth, typically worn by bikers, examined a picture in his, no… her hand. Even though her face was hidden by a mirrored headpiece, and her chest wasn't particularly endowed, the feminine curves of her body were clearly visible through her clothes.

The woman placed the picture in a pocket and swiftly climbed on a motorcycle. Her feet pressing the pedals as the vehicle's main light turned on, quickly rushing towards the nearby block.

"Uncute. Tomboy. Gorilla."

"I've already told you I'm sorry!" As if the past moments had never existed, the two teens were back to bickering again. Ranma seemed somewhat dirty from the fall, but had no real wounds. Shampoo was latched on him, smiling widely as he continued to badmouth Akane.

"Now, husband will stay with Shampoo, right?" The purple haired Amazon dreamily whispered, panicking Ranma, who suddenly leaped away from her.

"Eh… Shampoo, you know … but…" Ranma took a few steps back, muttering some words incoherently. That couldn't end well.

/-

Standing at the ceiling of a nearby building, the biker examined intently the three who were walking together. The one she was looking for was there… but, what could she do about the others? There wasn't much time to spare. She'd have to go now.

/

"Wait." Ranma said as he suddenly leaped out of Shampoo's grasp. "I've got a bad feeling about this…" He said looking at the face of a confused Akane. Quickly, all three got into battle positions.

In a short moment, a black silhouette dropped from the sky, kicking Shampoo on the back of her neck, with enough force to knock her down in an instant. The attacker quickly looked at Saotome's direction, and rushed towards him. She lowered her fist, and sped it up towards Ranma's chest, but he easily moved beside her, avoiding the attack and counter attacking with a low kick of his own. The girl managed to do a short hop, jumping just over his foot, and landing right behind him.

"What do you want!" Ranma shouted aggressively as he turned around. He couldn't see any features of that girl. Was she another crazy fiancée? Akane approached him step by step as the biker remained still.

/

Natsuki had to admit, she was impressed by that boy. Ever since she had awakened and started using her powers, her reflexes and strength had been severely increased, but that guy actually could match her without any problems at all. However, she hadn't even started yet…

She lowered her arms, making the palm of her hands face the two remaining teens.

"What is she…" Akane's unfinished question quickly was answered as two glowing balls of light appeared on the girls hands, vanishing just as fast as they appeared. However, in their place, there were two pistols. They looked like small revolvers, but had strange gray balls in their center. Natsuki raised her hands, one towards Ranma, another towards Akane.

"Leave her." The stranger spoke with a cold, harsh voice.

"What?" Ranma's confused expression quickly turned into anger. "So, she's after Akane…" He looked at her face, and nodded. Even though Akane didn't like what that meant, she understood it.

"Ok!" She turned back and started running. Answering that action, the biker quickly reacted, running towards her; however, she was intercepted as Ranma stood in her way.

Natsuki quickly jumped back, standing completely erect. "You won't make this easy, heh? Well, boy, you shouldn't mess with matters which have nothing to do with you." Her stance relaxed as a thick blue fog swiftly emerged all around her body. The circular torrent advanced towards Ranma, before abruptly stopping, and condensing, becoming a layer of ice. The new material broke down quickly revealing a metallic creature. The martial artist took a few steps back upon seeing it as he raised his guard. A silver mechanical wolf with two large metallic tubes, probably cannons, installed on its back had appeared from the ice coffin.

The wolf swung its head, getting rid of some of the ice which remained on its body. After cleaning itself, it howled to the nocturne sky. "Duran, go!" The woman shouted as she ran past Ranma.

"Hey, wait!" The confused martial artist shouted, without receiving a reply, just before the wolf leaped on him, smashing him against a wall. Duran quickly turned towards its owner, but before it could move, Ranma rocketed towards it, headbutting the creature, and propelling it to the other side of the street.

It looked curiously at Ranma, before glaring at him again, its yellow eyes lighting up. "This isn't good…" Saotome muttered. The skin of that thing was harder than Ryoga's, and it had a fairly impressive speed. Besides everything, the wolf hadn't even used its weapons yet. He cursed silently, just before the monster leaped towards him again.

/-

Two bullets sparked the street in front of Akane, who reacted by quickly turning back to look at her pursuer. The biker stood calmly, her right arm raised, pointing towards the frightened girl.

As she looked at the stranger, Akane's fear was replaced by anger. She ran towards Natsuki, who pressed the trigger of her weapon. The Tendo rose swiftly dodging the incoming shot, and landing behind her adversary.

"Why… why are you doing this!" Akane yelled bitterly at the mysterious woman.

"Can you see that red star?" The mysterious woman pointed at the full moon that had already risen over the nocturne sky.

Akane looked at the familiar heavenly body, a small red star shinning in front of the lower half of the moon. Recently an ominous red star had become visible to her, and only her. She had actually started to think that she was getting crazy, or that everyone was pulling a big joke on her, however, at that moment, it became obvious that it wasn't the case. After all, there was that woman, mentioning the red star.

Natsuki noticed the recognition expressed by the empty eyes of that girl. "You can see it… Just remember. Don't go to Fuka Gakuen, or you'll die."

Akane continued in a stunned state, as the silver wolf approached the unknown woman, who hoped on it. They jumped quickly, disappearing among the houses. It only took a moment for Akane to get up again. "Ranma!" She mentally exclaimed as she ran through the streets to find him slowly staggering towards her. He looked severely bruised, his Chinese shirt torn to shreds; upon resting his eyes on Akane, he managed to hold a weak smile before losing any remaining strength, and dropping his body on the street as everything around him darkened.

/-

"This is great!" Ranma Saotome shouted enthusiastically as the sea winding blew through his hair. There he was, standing at the top of a large ship, which was traveling through the sea towards Fuka Gakuen. Nerima, and all the craziness there, had been left behind. No more Kuno, nor Kodachi, nor Shampoo, nor Nabiki, nor any of the other loonies!

His body still hadn't recovered completely from yesterdays beating, but it was a minor problem. That martial artist had already started planning a new training program in order to match that metallic wolf from the other night. The only thing he still had to worry about was…

"RANMA!"

That unmistakable feminine voice distracted Saotome for just a moment, but it was enough to make him lose his footing and fall head on the floor.

"Ranma?" Akane quickly ran towards him, her eyes focusing on his battered self as her brows shacked slightly, in a mix of concern and anger. "What were you doing up there? You still haven't recovered!"

"I'm fine." Ranma muttered as he got out of his fianceé's reach. He turned his back to Akane, looking at the sea. "That thing, yesterday, what happened?"

"I'd like to know too, Ranma isn't beaten like that every day." Said another female voice.

"That was… WHAT!" Akane suddenly glared at source of that commentary. Nabiki. Ranma turned towards them, a bad feeling running through his spine. The younger Tendo stepped towards her sister, curious "What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't let my little sister go to some unknown place alone!" Nabiki grinned as Akane's curiosity turned into anger.

"You didn't..." The youngest Tendo replied while staring intently at her sister. "Nabiki, you didn't…"

"Akane, my beloved, I'm here to protect you!" Tatewaki stated happily as he landed between the Tendos and Ranma.

"Heh. I needed money to come, so, I sold some information to your friend here!" Nabiki held a large grin while saying those words. "See you later!" She quickly rushed out of Ranma's sight, using the shock created by Kuno's appearance.

"Great… just, great…" Ranma and Akane muttered in unison. That would be a long trip…
