Chapter 6 Suzuki goes to school part 2
*growl-...*
'How the heck am I still hungry? I just ate a couple minutes ago. And where the heck is this stupid school!' Suzuki thought as she continued to walk. 'When I get my hands on ranma, he'll talk like a... A girl for the rest of the week. Pft walk me to school, he said. Or did he say nothing? Who cares I'm still going to beat the living crap out of him.'
(Meanwhile)
The first bell rang for it was 9:00. Everyone sitting in there seats, akane not too far from ranma. The teacher wasn't in the room so some kids were talking to their friends. Ranma was talking to his group of friends and akane with hers. But something was bothering akane.
"Hey akane what's wrong?" One of her friends asked.
"You've been in a deep thought for a while now, usually your talkative." Her other friend said. Akane gave both of her friends a smile.
"It's probably nothing but I get the feeling like I forgot something. Maybe I forgot my homework, no, I have it right her. Did I take my lunch? Yes kasumi made it for me and I put it in my bag. Hmm" akane continued in her deep thought.
The English teacher of ranma and akane( and Suzuki if she was there) was a young girl which could change into a young woman when she absorbed battle aura. Her name was miss hinako. As she entered the classroom, all the kids sat down in their seats. Miss hinako was in her child form. She wore her usual baggy clothes and she ate her candy just like a normal kid would do. She put her things on her desk and say down.
"Good morning class. Today I have an important announcement for all of you." Miss hinako said in her childish voice. "We have a new student coming into your class."
All the kids in the kids started murmuring to each other.
"Quiet children! quiet! There's no need to gossip yet, the student isn't here yet. She seems to be late." Miss hinako said as she stood up and walked to the door. A student rose his arm in the air.
"Miss hinako, what is the new students name?" He asked. Miss hinako looked at the note she got about the new student.
"Suzuki saotome. My, her last name is just like ranma's."
that's when it hit both ranma and akane. Both of them stood up at the same time yelling, " Ah crap we forgot Suzuki!" To everyone's confusion,(including the teachers) both akane and ranma run out of the classroom yelling to one another. "I can't believe you forgot about Suzuki!" Akane yelled as she continued running in the direction of her house.
"Well I wasn't the one telling her that she would walk with this person to school" ranma responded as she ran on the fence.
"Oh boy, dad and Suzuki are going to be angry with us, how could we forget Suzuki?! She's been staying with us for 2 days now!" Akane told ranma as she continued running.
"You got that right." Ranma responded.
(Back with Suzuki)
Suzuki peered through the window of a store she was passing. 'Its 9:10! I'm late for my first day of school. Maybe this lady will give me directions. ' she thought to herself.
"Excuse me, but can you tell me where I can find Furinkan High School?" Suzuki asked the old lady at the counter of the store she entered. The lady looked at Suzuki while she ate her noodle soup.
" Furinkan High School you say. Hmmm, your pretty far away from that school that's all I could say." The lady said. She continued to slurp on her noodles while Suzuki waited patiently for the lady to give her directions. "Head left, go straight for 200 meters then turn right. You should be on the right path from there." Suzuki bowed her head to the lady then ran out the door in the direction the lady told her to.
(Elsewhere)
"But dad she hasn't arrived at our school yet." Akane told her father which was angry at akane for skipping school.
"Don't worry akane, I gave her directions to the school, she should be there by now, here I'll call the school to ask." Mr tendo said as he began dialling the number to the school.
"Hello, yes I'm sorry for them leaving but has Suzuki arrived at Furinkan High School yet? No.. Oh well we have no idea where she could be. We gave her a map... Uh oh." Mr tendo hang up the phone after he found a map on the table.
"Dad what's wrong?" Akane asked. Mr tendo looking alittle pale turned to face his daughter and responded.
"I accidentally gave Suzuki the wrong map." He said in a whisper like voice. Both akane and ranma were angry but then again, they were also scared to see Suzuki's expression when they found her or if she returned.
"Mr tendo call our school, tell them we're going to try finding Suzuki." Ranma said as he grabbed Akane's arm and ran out the door.
"Hey what are you doing?" Akane said she she was being almost dragged.
"We got to find my cousin, after all this is sort of our fault for forgetting about her." Ranma said as he continued running. Not noticed a puddle up ahead, ranma ran I to the puddle and turned himself into his girl form. " boy akane, how'd you suddenly get so heavy?" Ranma said not knowing he has turned into a girl. He got akane mad and he got hit. Ow.
(Elsewhere)
It's been 10 minutes that Suzuki has been traveling. The road that the lady said about was not even there. There was only walls and no roads that lead in the direction that was supposed to be the direction of the school. Suzuki continued traveling until she stopped to see something very beautiful. It was a beach. The waves were small and gentle and there wasn't many people there. The air smelled of sea water and the sun made the water sparkle. Suzuki couldn't believe how beautiful the beach looked. Where she lived, the beach was full of people and it smelled like chemicals instead of sea water. She took a deep breathe and sat down on the sand. Suzuki took off her shoes and dig her feet in the sand. She had completely forgotten about hurrying to school. She didn't want to leave yet. She wanted to stay and watch the view.
(Somewhere over the rainbow{just kidding})
Ranma and akane continued to search but they couldn't find Suzuki. They asked people but they said they didn't know who she was. It was getting late. 6:00 pm to be exact. Suzuki has been gone the whole day. She missed school cause akane and ranma forgot to show her and she was given the wrong map. 'Where could she have gone?' Both ranma and akane thought as they continued searching for Suzuki. Some kids from school were also helping search for Suzuki, including ukyo which couldn't help but try to team up with ranma.
"Ranma honey, it's ok, we'll find your cousin in a matter of minutes. Don't you worry." Ukyo responded as she walked along side of ranma much to Akane's annoyments.
"I know but.. It's that I barely know anything about my cousin. I'm worried she ran away from home for a different reason." Ranma said looking alittle worried.
After a hour of looking for Suzuki, the students, including ukyo, headed their way home for it was getting late. Ranma and akane didn't give up hope, they continued looking until they finally found the beach where Suzuki was sitting at. She was staring at the sunset not noticing ranma and akane coming up from behind her. She finally noticed when ranma tapped on her shoulder which she reacted by flipping him over her shoulder and making him land in the cold water of the ocean.
"Oh it's you. Don't sneak up on me like that." Suzuki said as she sat back down. Ranma turning back into a girl, walks in front of Suzuki blocking her view of the sunset.
"Hey cuz, are you ok? Why aren't you hitting me yet?" Ranma asked purposely tying get Suzuki mad. But Suzuki stayed calm.
"There's no point in being angry at some stupid thing. I had a whole day to think about that." She answered as she got up. "However..." Suzuki stepped behind ranma and pushed his shoulder back, forcing ranma to fall back.
"What was that for?" Ranma said after he quickly recovered.
"For taking so long to find me." Suzuki said as she walked towards the street where she came from.
(Next morning)
"Hey Suzuki, why are you up so early?" Ranma asked as he came down stairs.
"Two reasons actually. One cause you snore and two, I don't plan on missing school today."
The tendo and saotome family gave a big laugh. Finally a feeling that Suzuki like. Being part of something.
