Chapter 3
4/30/02
Ossu! Enjoy the third chapter!
I dun own Ranma 1/2 or Sailormoon. ^^ So there.
Ranma placed the phone back on its cradle and gave an annoyed twitch as he crossed his arms. 'Ryoga.... Kuso!'
A small hand was suddenly on his shoulder and Ranma looked up into warm brown eyes. "Daijobu ka, Ranma-kun?" Kasumi asked, concerned.
Ranma smiled, "I'm alright, Kasumi. Arigato." 'Kasumi.. always concerned for others. Do you know, you'd make a wonderful mother? You've done a good job raising Akane after your mother died.' Ranma felt Kasumi's hand leave his shoulder and leave the room to let him continue to brood. 'Ryoga... Akane... Akane misses you... surprisingly.' Ranma smiled ruefully. 'I'll find you. I got your address and phone number... I'll be seeing you soon.'
************
Ryoga packed his sandwich into a brown bag and picked up his back pack. 'Ohhh... Monday.. BACK to work....' He sighed, leaving the kitchen and going towards the front door. He looked back towards Usagi's door and sighed once more.
Usagi was staying home today from school. She complained she felt very sick and didn't even have the energy to do anything. He had offered to stay home with her and help her back to health, but she refused him. She said that her being sick was no reason for him to miss work as well.
He considered going to check on her once more before leaving... but he had to get going soon. With his luck, if he didn't leave early enough, he'd get lost and be really really late...
So, he situated his back pack and left the apartment, ready for a new day of work.
***********
"RANMA NO BAKAAAAAA!!!!!" A young girl with bluish black hair screamed.
**THUD!!** A large brown bookbag colliaded with the pigtailed boy's head...
"Itai!! Uncute TOMBOY!!!"
Then, a middle-aged man came running out of nowhere and smacked the pigtailed boy's head. "Be nicer to your Fiance!"
The pigtailed boy scowled and knocked the old man off the bridge they were currently at. "Don't lecture me, Oyaji!"
The girl and the boy continued walking down the street, until the girl put in, "Ya know, Ranma, Ya could be a bit nicer to me!"
The boy scowled again. "You're the one who's always been mean ta me! Always calling me a pervert and an idio-"
**SPLASH!!**
A young, busty girl with red hair in a pigtail stood in Ranma's spot, glaring at the little old lady who was emptying her water bucket. She suddenly screamed out. "I AIN'T GOING TA SCHOOL LIKE THIS!!!"
The girl smirked. "I dunno, Ranma-CHAN... You look cute with a wet shirt on. Kuno might think so too...."
"Don't you dare start on me, Akane. Don't you dare!" The now girl- Ranma sighed. "Let's hurry to Tofu's and get some hot water... we'll have to run the rest of the way to school."
So, the two girls ran down to Dr. Tofu's. The clinic in Nerima, for you who don't know who the FAMOUS Tofu is. Amatuers....
Anyways, Akane and the now back to normal, boy-Ranma ran as fast as they could to the school gates, where there were still a ton of boys hanging around for a fight with Akane. They were all easily beat by Ranma and Akane who plowed their way through to the doors. Suddenly, a figure holding a red rose stood in their path.
"Saotome! It is I! Tateiwake Kuno! The Blue Thunder of Furinken High! Fight me you curd-"
One flattened Kuno as the two ran over him and continued into the building.
"S-Saoto-me... ugh..."
A brown haired girl looked down from the second floor window and watched the flattened "warrior". She tsked. "Aww.. Poor Kuno..."
The girl next to her looked down as well. "Do you think he can breathe with his face pushed into the dirt like that, Nabiki?"
Nabiki narrowed her eyes for a moment, thinking. "Well, if he can't, maybe it'll deflate his ego a bit."
The two girls laughed and took their seats in the classroom, amusing themselves with the misfortune of their classman, Tateiwake Kuno.
*************
Usagi yawned and stumbled slowly out of her room. She was still feeling a bit woozey from whatever she was feeling sick from. "Was it the popcorn...?" She mumbled to herself, rubbing her face, trying to waken herself up more. She went into the bathroom and threw water over her face. She just could'nt get rid of that sick feeling.
'What time is it? I feel like I've been sleeping all day long...' She glanced at the clock and it read '3:43'
She sighed and moved slowly into the kitchen, trying to find something to do with herself. She wasn't hungry, which was a first in a while... there was nothing on daytime television, and she didn't think she could go back to sleep.
"I hate this..." She muttered. She sighed and walked over to a shelf in her living room that had assorted incenses and oils. She opened a small bottle and went to smell it. She closed the bottle and grumbled. "I can't even smell! This really bites."
*************
"So, Ranma, you found Ryoga?" Nabiki asked, disbelieving. She sipped her soda in the booth she was sharing with Ranma in the small Cafe. "How'd you manage that?"
Ranma crossed his arms over his chest and peered over the table at her. "That's my secret for now. But, the important thing is, I know where he is. I wouldn't have done it, but Akane said she wanted to make amends with him. As long as it goes that far and nothing else is fine by me."
Nabiki smirked. "So, are you admitting that you love my sister?"
Ranma closed his eyes. "Love that uncute tomboy? Are you kidding?"
Nabiki smirked and slurped the last of her soda. 'Sure, Ranma, keep telling yourself that.'
************
Ryoga wiped his brow as he finished with his class. Working out was tough today for some reason. He couldn't focus, he told himself.
'Ranma... you've been on my mind all day. What are you up to?'
He waved goodbye to a few of his students and gathered up his belongings. He had one more self-defense class left to teach, and then he could go home and be with Usagi. He sighed. He would be late tonight, he knew. He lifted his bag over his shoulder and went to the gym next door where his next class would start.
He noticed it was filled with women all in tight spandex suits. He sighed heavily. It would be one LONG class...
************
Usagi grumbled as she stumbled into the wall. She had gone to sleep again, and woken up. So far, her trek to the bathroom was proving fatal. She yawned and tried to stay coherent enough to make it to the small bathroom.
She looked in the mirror when she got there. Her face was pale and her eyes looked dark. 'What's wrong with me?' She felt very weak and she felt like her knees would buckle underneath her any second.
"Ryoga..." She croaked out. Her voice was low and gravely. "I need you here... with me." She suddenly felt very sick again and made friends with the toilet as she got rid of anything she had eaten earlier.
************
Ranma grumbled to himself as he searched for the right building number. He had left Nabiki not to long ago to search for Ryoga. He had to admit, he wanted to see him as much as Akane. But, for different reasons of course.
Half of him wanted to say sorry for revealing his secret of Jusenkyo, the other half wanted to see how he was fairing. The address he had gotten was one that belonged to Tsukino Usagi. He wondered who that was. 'Probably some wierdo guy if he took Ryoga in.'
He passed a few apartment buildings, but none so far had the right number.... wait. He smiled. Here is was, a large building on a quiet street with Sakura trees on the sidewalks. He walked into the building and looked for the apartment.
After a few minutes, he found it and rang the bell. "Royga..." He said to himself, "Here I am..."
*************
Usagi lifted the cup of water to her lips and forced it down. It was best she didn't dehydrate herself while she was sick. It was still hard to swallow that little amount of water, but she tried her best.
The doorbell ringing startled her out of her thoughts. "Who...?" She thought for a second. "Seiya's probably here to visit...." She justified as she straightened her hair as best she could before answering the door.
Seiya had seen her in her pajamas before, so she didn't bother covering up her tank top top or flanel pants. She opened the door and greeted. "Ohayo, Seiya-ku-" Usagi stop mid-sentence as she looked at the young man at her door. He had a wild look about him.
He had dark raven colored hair tied into a pigtail at the nape of his neck, his eyes were a sparkling sapphire and he was a good head taller than her... but everyone was taller than Usagi so it didn't matter much to her. She also noticed his cheeks held a tint of red. She looked at her appearence and figured that was it.
"Ohayo..." She said, tilting her head, a bit confused as to who he was and why he was at her door.
"Ano.." He stuttered. The young man blushed a tad more and scratched the back of his head nervously. "Is this the residence of Tsukino Usagi?"
She nodded and he loosened up a bit. "Hai. That's me."
His eyes widened. "You're a woman?! I thought Tsukino Usagi was a guy!"
Usagi's eyes narrowed. "Nope. Very much a woman. What can I do for you?"
"My name is Saotome Ranma. I was looking for a friend of mine... on behalf of another friend." He shook his head. "It's all less confusing than that sounded."
Usagi smiled. "Oh I'm sure." 'Ranma...? Where have I heard that name before?'
Suddenly, there was an aggravated scream. "SAOTOME!!!! KONO!!!"
Usagi gasped. "Ryoga-kun!"
Ryoga was standing at the end of the hall, his face was red with anger and his backpack was slung over his shoulders. His fists were clenched and he marched right up to Ranma and stared at him.
"Ohayo, Ryoga!" Ranma said, trying to be cheerful. It only made Ryoga more upset.
"Don't you dare, Saotome! Don't you DARE!" He took a step up to Ranma, making the pig-tailed boy stepback. "What nerve you have coming here! I'm happy! CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT!?"
"Don't think I came back here for YOU! Akane wants to see you! The tomboy claims she misses your sorry ass! Though it's hard for me to believe that!" Ranma screamed back, getting a bit mad himself.
Usagi tried many times to interject, to ask what was going on, but the two just kept on yelling and arguing with eachother. She had finally had enough of them fighting and ignoring her that she slapped them both and slammed the door of the apartment.
That startled them both our of their argument and they both stared at the door, dumbfounded.
Hey! Did you enjoy? More will come as soon as I type it out... which, if I keep getting ideas will be soon. ^^ Please review so I can work faster!
