Nerima's Black Panther

Alright just a few things I want to say. First of all, I have gotten enough reviews on my stories telling me to stop writing because I'm being some story thief or some other similar crap. I would like everyone to know that unless it's the original author doing the complaining I don't give a shit.

Secondly, some people (not a lot thankfully) don't think I'm being original enough with the stories that I took over. Again I would like to remind everyone that if I was writing original stories they wouldn't be about existing T.V shows and I'd possibly be going pro and making money for my efforts.

Finally this story involves a lot of sexual innuendos and jokes; the problem is I don't know that many, so a little help here would be nice.

School

Ranma groaned in pain as he woke up. "Damn my head hurts what happened?" he muttered sleepily as he ran a hand through his hair.

"You passed out after Saotome-Oji-san mentioned something about married life." Someone said in a matter of fact tone. Turning around Ranma noted Nabiki's smirking face wearily.

"Why are you smirking at me like that Nabiki?" he asked as he slowly got up and stretched out getting the kinks out of his body.

Nabiki shrugged her shoulders before she turned around. "Just wanted to tell you breakfast was ready, I'm sure Onee-chan has banana or two for you to eat." She chuckled as Ranma went red in the face as he stuttered uncontrollably. "Don't worry I was joking." She said mirthfully as she walked out the door.

Ranma sighed as he shook his head in exasperation "I hate that witchdoctor so much right now." He mumbled as he got up and changed into his usual clothing. Sighing again he headed downstairs for breakfast. "Let's see what's going to happen to me now." With that said Ranma walked out the door of the guest room and down into the living room where everyone was already seated.

"Oyaji, what are we doing while we stay here?" Ranma asked as he sat down next to his thief of a father.

Genma adjusted his glasses with a smirk. "Well Ranma YOU are going to be attending school." He said smugly as he pointed at his son dramatically.

Ranma blinked in surprise not having expected that answer at all "Uh… but I don't have any materials for school." He said in a straight voice causing his father to throw a book bag at him in annoyance.

"There you go boy now get going!" Genma shouted as Nabiki walked by with a smile.

"Come on stud it won't be so bad, you're going to the same school as Akane and me." She said slyly as she winked at him causing him to blush. Laughing loudly she ran out the door before he could respond in any form.

Akane giggled as she walked past him. "Come on big boy, I'll show you the way to school." Akane's smile widened as Ranma began to stutter out his thanks before he stiffly followed her out the door. "Oh come on it's not that embarrassing is it?" she asked as they walked down the street, Ranma being too embarrassed to hop onto the fence.

Ranma weakly nodded his head still red in the face as the gates came into view. "Y-yeah I-I don't want to talk about it." He mumbled as he looked straight ahead. "Hey…what's up with all the guys?" he asked noting what had to be half of the male student body waiting in front of them.

Akane grumbled a bit as she cracked her knuckles "These bakas are the reason I don't like boys." She mumbled in an annoyed voice. "You should stay away from me during school, these guys are annoying enough as it is, I don't need them hounding me all the time, which they'd probably do if they found out about your connection to me."

Ranma nodded his head and allowed Akane to charge forth as the group of boys charged towards her shouting confessions of their love. Akane met them midway and began to pulverize the mass of hormonally driven boys.

Ranma hopped onto the school wall and watched the show in interest. 'This happens everyday?' he thought to himself in slight amazement. Glancing at the school building he noticed Nabiki watching from a second floor window. "Hey Nabiki does this happen all the time?" he called out as he waved at her.

Nabiki smirked down at him as she noticed several of her classmates staring at Ranma with varying levels of want. "Yeah it does! You should get to class Akane usually finishes in time for class!" she called out cheerfully.

Ranma shrugged his shoulders "Nah! Think I'll watch this from here it's interesting you know?" he called back with a smile. He turned as he heard the last boy go down, clapping he jumped down to talk with Akane "Good work, though I saw a few areas you could improve on…" He began as he jogged up to her. He stopped when Akane raised a hand to stop him.

"There's still one more." She muttered as she dusted herself off. When she stood straight up a rose came flying towards her which she caught and then crushed. Groaning she muttered "And here he is." Before she slipped into a stance.

Ranma blinked in surprise as a young man walked out from behind a tree wearing a blue kendo uniform wielding a Bokken. "Truly a boorish lot, they thought they be man enough to win your company on a most glorious date should they defeat you in honorable combat." He flicked his hair back and smiled "Tendo Akane if you should beat me in our duel I'll allow you to date with me."

Ranma stared in utter fascination at the lunatic standing before him. "Was he dropped as a kid?" he asked without looking away from the psycho.

Akane shrugged her shoulders "Everyone seems to think so, but no one knows for sure." Kuno who had noticed the small exchange pointed his Bokken at Ranma in anger.

"You there! You are mighty friendly with the beautiful Tendo Akane! Who are you?" he shouted in what some might call a lordly tone. However to everyone present it was just a gust of hot air.

Ranma shrugged his shoulders before speaking "Well I'm…"

"Halt! Is it not proper to give one's name before asking another's? Fine I shall speak first so listen well peasant! I am the rising star of the Kendo world, undefeated in all of Japan! They call me the Aoi Ikazuchi! Kuno Tatewaki, age seventeen," he smirked as he pushed his hair out of his face.

Ranma along with the entire student body stared at Kuno in disbelief. "He's a freak." Ranma mumbled as everyone who heard him nodded in agreement. Shaking his head he pointed to himself in a modest fashion "I'm Saotome Ranma, and I study the Saotome school of anything goes."

Kuno glared at him before slipping into his stance. "And what is your connection to the fair Tendo Akane?" he almost growled as he glared at the pigtailed martial artist.

Ranma looked at Akane for help only to receive a shrug. "Uh…well…Oyaji is a really good friend of Tendo-san so we're staying with them for now." He said after a moments pause. 'Hopefully he'll leave it alone.' He thought silently.

"The fair and beautiful Tendo Akane under the same roof as a common street mongrel like you?" Kuno gasped out as if struck. "I won't allow it! You soil the Tendo family with your very presence!" he shouted as he charged forward. "I strike!"

Ranma sighed as he began to weave his way around each of Kuno's strikes with ease. "What's the big deal? I mean it's the same as a childhood friend living with you for an undetermined amount of time." Pausing his sentence he shook his head. "Okay bad reference…hmm, now how should I explain this?" he pondered out loud.

Akane sweat dropped as did Nabiki 'Good question how do we explain this?' they both thought to themselves.

Ranma shook his head in annoyance before closing in on Kuno and forcing him back. "Now listen here there is nothing going on romantically between me and any of the Tendo sisters! I'm just staying at their house until Oyaji decides to leave again!" he shouted out loud as he jumped over a horizontal slash that cut down a tree.

Kuno scowled as he readied his weapon. "I will not be tricked by your cunning lies foul sorcerer! You are just biding your time waiting for a chance to take advantage of the Tendo family! You vile cur I shall smite thee!" he shouted out in anger as he swung at Ranma's head.

Ranma's face was red from Anger or embarrassment none could tell "I'm telling you I'm not doing anything like that!" he cried out in indignation. He jumped up and came down upon Kuno as Kuno launched an upward strike just as the clouds came in and it started to rain.

Genma, now a panda, ran up and grabbed the now panther Ranma while knocking Kuno out of the way, and continued to run into the building leaving Kuno knocked out in the rain.

Akane blinked once before she ran inside to get out of the rain leaving Kuno all alone in the rain. Normally Nabiki would've dragged him inside but decided to leave him be today on account of the rain. "He'll be fine Bakas don't catch colds." She muttered while her class nodded in agreement.

Ranma felt the hot water change him back and sighed. "Can't believe he actually got my neck a bit there." He mumbled examining the bruise on his neck. "Guess he is pretty good, to leave that there with nothing but wind pressure." Akane who had walked in nodded her head.

"If it had hit you there'd be a hole in your neck right now." She stated as she handed him a towel to dry off. "We should get to class we're already late." That said both teens said goodbye to Genma and headed off to class. Genma sighed before he walked back into the rain and towards the Tendo Dojo in a light jog.

Meanwhile Kuno was staring at a mirror in rage as Nabiki sat next to him. "You mean you never felt him write that on your forehead?" she asked incredulously with a raised eyebrow. For on his forehead was the Kanji for 'insufferable'.

Kuno grimaced as he slammed the mirror down. "And to think I thought better of him! He can't even spell!" he stomped up to the black board and wrote something down. "My name is spelled thus!" he wrote the Kanji for 'Capable'

Nabiki stared in contempt for a while before walking up and taking the chalk from Kuno. "Isn't it more like this?" she asked as she wrote the Kanji 'Incapable'

Kuno scowled as he lowered his face to stare her in the eyes. "I detest you Tendo Nabiki."

She stared at him impassively as she answered his remark "From the bottom of my heart I thank you." She said monotonously.


Ranma's class

Alright class with have a new student joining us today. Please give a big 'Nihao' to Saotome Ranma who has recently returned from an overseas trip to China. However this does not excuse the fact the He and Tendo Akane were late, so both of you please grab your buckets and wait in the hallway." The teacher said slowly as he pointed out the door.

Ranma and Akane both bowed in apology before they did as they were told. "Hey Akane was Kuno always like that?" he asked lightly hoping to gain some insight on the madman they had to call Senpai.

Akane sighed in resignation as she recalled her memories of the deluded Kendoist. "Yeah for as long as I've known him he's been like that. He's also the reason all the boys challenge me every morning."

Flashback

"The vengeance of heaven is slow but sure!" Kuno called out to the gathered mass of students before him. "As such anyone who wishes to court the heavenly Tendo Akane must thus defeat her in honorable combat!"

End flash back

Ranma's eyes bugged out as he nearly fell over in surprise. "What the hell?" he muttered just loud enough for Akane to hear.

"I know how you feel…but despite that I always seem to win, I don't really know why." She mumbled softly as she stared ahead.

Ranma shrugged his shoulders in confusion "I don't have anything to say to that." He said quietly as his eyes lost their focus. Shaking his head he let out a yawn "Man this is boring." He muttered as he began to drift off to sleep.

They then heard the stomping of feet coming towards them as the words "I won't allow it!" came into hearing range. Rushing into view Kuno was charging at them buckets held up on his Bokken like ancient carriers. "Your engagement to the Tendo sisters will not come to pass!" he shouted loudly as Ranma and Akane tried to desperately shut him up.

Almost instantly everyone was sticking their heads out the classrooms to see if it was true. Akane and Ranma were both trying to calm things down as they waved their arms around in denial. Before Ranma could speak he blocked a slash with the two buckets and jumped over the puddle and ran off "This is no place to fight follow me Kuno!"

"That I shall!" he exclaimed as he charged after Ranma.

Ranma looked around looking for an exit, and smiled when he saw one in the form of an open window. "Follow me Kuno!" he shouted as he jumped out the window.

Kuno nodded as he jumped out the window and immediately freaked out noticing one key thing.

"Isn't this the third floor?" one of the other students asked as the two plummeted down towards something that make Ranma groan in defeat.

"Don't worry there's a pool below them." Another student said as they fell into the pool.

'Why is it always water?' Ranma thought in an annoyed fashion as he felt his change into a female panther occur. Mentally sighing she began to paddle her way to the surface as Kuno drifted towards her.

"I fight on!" he gurgled as he wrapped his arms around Ranma's form and pulled on her hair.

Ranma would've made some noise of anger but being underwater she thought better of it and instead scratched Kuno's face before breaking the water's surface and dashing away from the pool, her clothes surprisingly absent.

'Stupid Kuno he didn't have to pull so hard!' Ranma thought furiously as she shook her fur dry under a tree. Hearing footsteps she turned her head and saw Akane holding up a kettle of warm water.

"Ranma here's some water." She said worriedly as she poured it over the panther's head. She watched in fascination as Ranma turned back into a boy clothes and all right before her eyes. "Wait…why do the clothes disappear and reappear with the change?" she asked in curiosity.

Ranma patted himself down and shrugged "I honestly don't know, but I like that little oddity it makes this curse more bearable since the chance of changing back butt naked is small." he said remembering a few times he had changed back without the presence of his clothes which had left him thouroughly embarrassed the few times it happened.

Akane nodded her head in acceptance as Ranma shook his head to get rid of any excess water on his hair. "Well we should get back to class I guess." She mumbled as Ranma nodded.

Meanwhile at the pool Kuno lay on his back on the pool's edge in thought. 'That was definitely a panther, but then where is Saotome? In he goes and out comes a female panther…' he opened his eyes and nodded his head which seemed odd since he was laying down. "There is no other explanation! That foul sorcerer Saotome Ranma changed a poor beautiful and helpless girl into a panther to do his bidding!" he stood up and held his Bokken high into the air. "Saotome Ranma I won't forgive you!" he roared to the heavens.

Nabiki blinked as did the rest of the student body who had heard Kuno's declaration. "How the hell did he come up with that?" she asked herself while mechannically moving around handing out winnings to successful betters.

Everyone simply shrugged their shoulders, having no idea on what went through the pshycotic Kendoist's head.
