The Girl's Don't Know

Chapter two

Catching up…

As the crowd roared in anticipation of the performance the girls were still in a state of shock and confusion. They were looking up at the stage were Keitaro stood in the middle holding a guitar and about to sing in front of a crowd.

What disturbed them the most was that even though they know its Keitaro standing on the stage it felt like it wasn't him at all? He didn't look geeky up on the stage and was full of confidence. It took all of Shinobu's will power not to scream like a groupie and faint there and then; to her he had just leveled up big time.

"Hey it's Keitawo!" Kaolla said happily shaking the others from their shocked states and confirming what they were seeing wasn't a figment of their imagination. The crowd was too loud that even Kaolla wasn't heard and the girl had really strong lungs.

"Keitaro, we need to start the crowd's getting impatient." A man with a red bandana said to him. Yokoshima Tadao, third year high school student with a strange part time job.

Keitaro nodded and fixed his guitar. He looked straight at the crowd and took a deep breath.

He started to play.

Woke up with yawn. It's dawning, I'm still alive
Turned on my radio to start up new day
As goddamned DJ's chattered how to survive
Amazing news got over on the air wave

Tonight, Love is rationed
Tonight, Across the nation
Tonight, Love infects worldwide
Almost another day

Woke up with yawn. It's dawning, I'm still alive
Turned on my radio to start up new day
As goddamned DJ's chattered how to survive
Amazing news got over on the air wave

Tonight, Love is rationed
Tonight, Across the nation
Tonight, Love infects worldwide
Almost another day...
Almost another day

She's a shooting star, good night, good night
She's a shooting star, good bye

Tonight, Love is rationed
Tonight, Across the nation
Tonight, Love infects worldwide
Almost another day
See you some other day

When the song was over the crowd cheered and applauded. The girls for the second time that night were surprised again; Keitaro actually had a good singing voice the girls thought in surprise.

"WOW…" Kitsune had managed to say as the first to recover among the remaining stunned girls. "Did that really happen or am I just too drunk and imagining this?"

"I don't think so, because I'm seeing it too." Naru said and stared at Keitaro up on the stage. Motoko got her senses back but was still lost for words.

"Well, I guess this answers what he's been sneaking out for." KItsune said and crossed her arms and smiled her foxy smile.

After five songs the group retired back in a small room reserved for them. The muffled sound of music being played outside the room indicated the second band had started to perform now. Keitaro started to clean his guitar and sat on a leather chair. A young man with a red bandana sat on the armrest to the right of Keitaro while drinking a soda.

"Tell me again why we didn't do this earlier, no, wait why did we even broke the band up?" Yokoshima Tadao asked Keitaro.

"Some of us needed to start college and other responsibilities we needed to face." Keitaro answered wiping his guitar.

"Oh, Yeah…" Yokoshima scratched his head. "Though I'm surprised Shinji was able to come." Yokoshima faced the youngest of the group and the young base player looked up from his cellphone.

"How did you even get here? Does that babe, what's her name, still watches you?" Yokoshima asked.

"To answer you I snuck out of course, her name is Misato, and yes she still keeps an eye on me, although as you can see she still can't do it properly." Shinji Ikari son of the Multimillion dollar owner of NERV enterprise contently leaned back in the plush chair while drinking a soda.

"Hey you guys know where the beers are?" a man with pigtails asked rummaging in the mini fridge. "There's none, I asked the staff not to put any." A man with short brown hair said sat beside Shinji.

"What! Why would you that Masataka!" the pigtailed man said outraged that there was no booze.

"Do you even remember the last time we got drunk?" Masataka asked the man and Ranma put on a thinking pose. He then smiled sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. "Oh, yeah we paid for the repair of whole the room right?"

"We didn't get paid in that gig and it wasn't even enough." Shinji said remembering the incident. "Yeah, and mostly of the damage was caused by you two." Yokoshima pointed at Masataka and Ranma who were martial arts experts.

"So Keitaro what have you been doing these past two years, how is University life going for you?" Yokoshima asked.

"I'm still trying to get into Tokyo University Yokoshima, I'm a ronin" Keitaro said grudgingly. He also left the part about managing a girl's dormitory because it is a well known fact among the group how perverted Yokoshima is and he will try to get in the Inn if he knew.

"Oh… sorry." The younger man said.

"Don't tell me you're still going on that 'promised 'girl bit" Ranma air quoted the word promised with his fingers.

"Actually yes." The guys slapped their foreheads hearing this with the exception of Shinji. "Come on Ketiaro its been 17 YEARS, there are other girls out there that is more likely you can date and spend your whole life with than this promised girl of yours that you can't even remember her face." Ranma said jumping onto a couch.

"You don't even know if that girl even took that promise you made seriously you were like five when you made that promise."Yokoshima said making Keitaro sigh. They had a point and after all the hardships he's going through and if he did make it into the university and find out she's not there he don't know what he will do.

"Come one guys, Keitaro knows what he's doing…I think. Well how about you guys, what have you been doing?" Shinji asked changing the subject. "Yokoshima how is your ghostbusting business?"

"Its ghost sweeping, Shinji, actually since I went solo life has been good." Yokoshima said. "Getting away from Mikami might have been the best decision I had all my life."

"What about that girl, Okinu, how is she?" Ranma asked.

"We found her body frozen in the earth vein and managed to resurrect her. She's living with a family that's a descendant of hers. Last time we saw each other she was training under Mikami being a necromancer." Yokoshima answered.

"Your turn drag queen." Yokoshima looked at Ranma and he glared at him. Yokoshima was hit square in the face with a soda can and the bandana wearing young man rolled on the floor writhing in pain.

"I warned you about you calling me that." Ranma huffed. "Do you still change into a woman?" Masataka asked.

"Lets see." Yokoshima had instantly recovered from his injury and was holding a bottle of cold water. The young ghost sweeper promptly doused the raven haired man and instantly, Ranma's hair turned red and his physical form changed into a girl.

"I still get surprised when that happens." Shinji commented and Keitaro nodded also. Masataka wasn't fazed at all mostly because he was used to weird stuff like this. He fought people who could destroy a building in a single punch or had lived for hundreds of years. A man changing into a woman was not surprising to him, Maya, Masataka's former club captain could change from a grown woman into a girl for crying out loud.

Yokoshima, he dealt with ghost, vampires, demons, gods and evil scientists. Enough said.

Shinji and Keitaro were the nearest in being normal in the group, although one can control a bio mechanical robot and the other was practically immortal so they missed the margin in being normal by a few points.

After seeing that Ranma was still cursed in becoming a girl when hit by cold water Yoskoshima started to grope the redhead with a perverted smile. "What the hell!" Ranma's voice was now higher than before and quickly bashed Yokoshima in the face. The GS was quickly on the floor bleeding but smiling.

"He doesn't' learn does he?" Masataka commented looking at Yokoshima bleed on the floor and took a swig from his bottled ice tea.

"No he doesn't, apparently" Keitaro said grabbing the bleeding man and hoisting him up to his feet. The bespectacled man tried to avoid getting blood on him.

"Great now I have to go out as a girl." Ranma sighed and walked over to his bag and actually pulled out feminine attires, tank top, tight pants and lingerie, the black sexy type.

"What? I've been changing into a woman for too long now and there are enough people who know my secret and I don't need everyone connecting the dots when they see a girl version of me walking out of here in my clothes." Ranma explained.

"Right that still doesn't explain the victoria's secret collection." Keitaro said and the others nodded. Ranma looked at the lingerie she had in her hands and blushed. "This is Nabiki's doing, she forced me to buy these." Ranma tried to explain. She was dragged around the women's section for half a day when she asked to Nabiki to assist her in getting some new underwear because Happosai had stolen most of it already.

At first she did not want to buy something so impractical, but when she tried it on it was pretty comfortable and easy to move in. But the guys did no need to know that.

Ranma then started to take off his clothes and the others blushed. Even if it was Ranma as a girl the others looked away while she was changing because even though they know it's him, his female form in all honesty was hot, in a tomboyish kinda way.

Shinji quickly looked in the opposite direction, even if Misato would occasionally walk around the house half naked it didn't mean he got used to it.

Masataka was a gentleman and he knows he should look away but that little devil inside him that he had always hated was egging him to just take a little peek. He really hated it when his perverted side tried to get the best of him, good thing it rarely won.

Keitaro well seeing a naked woman hasn't been a good thing for him for the past couple of months and quickly looked away. He had this paranoid feeling that either Motoko or Naru would burst into the room and smack him good.

Yokoshima, he just enjoyed the show and actually had his cellphone out and was recording Ranma undress. The red head quickly spin kicked the perverted man into the wall and resumed changing her clothes.

"Okay, how about you Masataka?" Keitaro turned to the drummer of the group. "Well I'm the new head of the clan and my Brother is slowly recovering from his heart condition after we found an expert, it has been a real hassle since the wheels of fate thing." Masataka answered. "Oh and Brother wants a rematch with you."

"Like hell I would, I vomited blood and had several broken bones when I stupidly faced him I'm not going through all that again." Keitaro said finished in cleaning his guitar.

"You lasted the full three minutes time limit in a fight with him and took a direct hit from his Four Flaming Raging Dragons' Massacre"." Masataka said.

"Well I guess I have my grandfather to thank for that training my endurance and all that." Keitaro said. "We thought you lost you marbles back then suddenly punching the guy in the face." Yokoshima said.

"I broke my arm after doing that; I thought I couldn't play or draw anymore after." Keitaro flexed his right hand remembering his shattered bones. "And it's only thanks to my freakish endurance and almost unbreakable body that I managed to walk out alive in that fight." Keitaro said.

"Thank you, for sticking your neck out for me." Masataka said. "No problem we're friends!" Keitaro grins.

"Hey you said you were head of your clan now right, and then what the hell are you doing here with us? Isn't taking of your family more important?" Ranma asked and the others had to agree it didn't seem like Masataka to be so irresponsible.

"I'm only head in title for beating my brother. My father is the one who really manages the family and the businesses. I'm not really that great at ordering or managing people. " Masataka replied.

"Come to think of it the three of you actually have resources that can land us a in the big time in no time flat, why are we not using it again?" Yokoshima asked looking at Keitaro, Shinji and Masataka who had quite influential families.

The three looked at each other and looked liked they already discussed this sometime ago and had already prepared an answer for it. The three rich guys leaned back prop their heads on their arms and said;

"Where's the fun in that?"

Author's Shit: Well there you have it a second chapter. I'm thinking it's not what you were expecting and probably disappointed a lot of you guys that wanted a continuation of this.
