Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma ½.

Chapter 10 Plan A

In the school ground, Ranma could see that everyone was busy preparing for the School Festival. He heard that each class needed to raise fund and each class was assigned to run a specific gimmick. He, unfortunately, heard that their class' tickets were sold out; therefore, all those bastards who bought tickets for Kissing Booth would be kissing Akane. "Damn it!" he hissed under his breath. The worst part of all, Tatewaki Kuno was one of the highest buyers of tickets.

"Airen is thinking deep. Where we go for date?" Shampoo said, still clinging in his arm.

Ranma flinched at the sudden outburst of Shampoo. He forgot that the Amazon was with him, and he even forgot that she has been clinging in his arms since they left the clinic. 'Oh yeah, she's still her,' he dumbly thought. 'I might really be in deep thought that I even forgot about Shampoo'

He ignored the voluptuous girl beside him then went back into deep thought. First, he had to apologize to Akane, again. His problem was how. He just apologized then screwed up again. He didn't know why he didn't react as fast as he could to defend Akane. He felt useless and unworthy. Second, what kind of apology? He didn't know. He already poured his heart unto his last and she forgave him. Third, he had to make sure that no one will lay their lips to his fiancée, as in no one. The problem was, she agreed to be the maiden and the tickets were sold out plus they were sponsoring an orphanage. Fourth, if he couldn't apologize properly, he had to do something for her to forgive him and he had no idea what would that be. Fifth, he had to think something to make sure that the third one would be successful, or else.

"Gyaaaaaaah!" Ranma screamed. He pulled his hair and panted heavily. Just thinking of what he should do made his head ached and made him crazier. He had to think fast. The decorations and plans should finish today, and then tomorrow would be the preparation and finishing of the decorations and booths. He's not a planner. He acted impromptu. He's desperate, really desperate.

"Waaaah! Airen? Why you shout?" Shampoo questioned the exhausted Ranma beside her.

Ranma continued to ignore the confused girl. "Think! Think! Think! Think damn it! Think!" he said to himself which he mentioned like a mantra. He then remembered his dream, his nightmare. The line of men waiting to kissed and be kissed by Akane. The endless line, the hungry males on it, and the very willing Akane instantly popped in his head. He clenched his fists then tightly shut his eyes. He didn't want that nightmare turned into reality. God forgive him, but he might end up murdering those grinning and drooling bastards.

"At last, Akane Tendo's lips and body will be mine! I forbid others to lay their lips to my beloved maiden, because I, Tatewaki Kuno, will be her savior from that sorcerer Ranma Saotome!" the Blue Thunder announced to no one in particular. His voice made Ranma looked at his direction and grimaced.

He remembered how Kuno drooled and lustfully looked at Akane in his dream. His spine trembled at the thought of it. "There's no way I would let that happen!" he hissed.

"Oh, so the villain Ranma Saotome is here, with… hmmmm… with a girl. I know that you are never been good enough for Akane Tendo and I, Tatewaki Kuno, will release her from you!" he pointed his wooden sword at Ranma's direction upon seeing him with Shampoo.

"Shut the hell up!" he didn't know why, but he became instantly furious with Kuno's comment.

"Well, my beloved Akane Tendo will wake up from your spell once she tasted my lips. I think these are enough," he said ignoring Ranma's rant and showing off the tickets he bought for the Kissing Booth.

Ranma glared at the handful of tickets. "You gonna be fucking kidding me?" And there were a lot of tickets.

"Damn that Kuno! He almost bought of all the tickets!" one of the male student said while watching the noisy Kuno.

"Hmpf! I was not able to buy at least one ticket!" another student said

Hah! It's a good thing I bought few before it was sold out," another male proudly said.

"You lying bastard! You said that you didn't buy!" retorted by his buddy.

"So what?"

"Spare some!"

"No!" then a fight started.

One male student smirked at the sight. "Why are you smiling?" his girlfriend asked.

"Hehehehe! Losers. At least I bought two tickets for Kissing Booth! Ooooops!" he then slapped his hand to his mouth.

"You asshole!" his girlfriend said then smacked him. Another fight started

Ranma confusedly looked around and saw that some students were fighting and he didn't know why and how it started. "What the hell?" All he wanted was to snatch the tickets form the hands of the laughing Kuno and kick his ass across the globe.

"Now, before I capture Akane Tendo's lips, I have to eliminate you!" Kuno declared then surprisingly attacked Ranma.

Ranma tried to avoid the wooden sword. He's not looking for a fight and if ever he did, Kuno was not included in his option. Shampoo lost her grip to Ranma's arms as Kuno continued attacking her airen. They were no where to find. The Amazon searched for Ranma but decided to do it later as she had to deliver the noodles left in her bike. She left Furinkan High, for a meantime.

Ranma ran from Kuno's sword. He wanted to escape from his crazy antics and wanted to think for solutions in his problems. He lost his focus and did not notice a rotten pipe. He accidentally stepped on the pipe then a fountain of water covered his whole body. As he ran more, the then Ranma became Ranko.

"Just great! Really, really great!" Ranko-chan hissed still running away from Kuno.

"Oh my pig-tailed goddess!" Ranko heard behind her. She realized that Kuno would be more persistent as he saw the female Ranma. "It's a good thing that the wrench Saotome decided to release you and be in my arms!" Kuno maniacally declared.

"Gyaaaaaaah!" Ranko-chan screamed out of frustration. She didn't notice a small branch and she was tripped.

THUD!

"Oh my pig-tailed goddess, I am here now. You don't have to be scared and ran away from Saotome. I'm here to save you, my love," Kuno lovingly said to Ranko-chan who was still sitting in the ground. "Now let me give you a kiss from the bottom of my heart. I don't think that my other beloved, Akane Tendo would mind since I bought a lot of tickets for her to taste my luscious lips," he finished as he slowly reached for her.

Ranko-chan was so disgusted of how stupid and crazy Kuno was. She grimaced then was about to get up.

TING!

"Right! Yeah!" Ranko-chan absently said. "That's a good plan, but…" she murmured. She hesitated for a while but made up her mind. "Yeah! I don't care anymore!"

"What did you say, my love?

"I said, get out of my face, asshole!" she yelled then kicked Kuno and sent him across Nerima.

Ranko-chan ran to their classroom as she came up with an idea. She excitedly hopped then dashed into the classroom. She thought that Akane might still be in the clinic resting. She burst into the classroom door.

"Guys, I've got an idea!" Ranko-chan chirped excitedly and was still panting. Everyone in the class looked at her direction with confusion. "Let me be the Kissing Booth Maiden!" she declared without hesitation. "Spare Akane, I would do it instead!"

Silence.

"Man! Everybody knows you, Ranma. Everyone knows about your curse and I think the ticket holders will ask for refund if we make you the maiden," the class president said.

Ranko-chan was dumbfounded. She remembered the tournament and that was the time that her curse was revealed. Only the Kunos didn't know or didn't realize it.

"Here, Ranko-chan," Daisuke approached her then poured hot water he got from nowhere. "It has been decided and Akane-chan agreed."

"Yeah man. Even though you're pretty in your girl form, I don't think I still want to kiss you, knowing that you're still Ranma Saotome!" Hiroshi spat.

The red hair became black mane. "You're right," he mumbled.

"Baka," Akane whispered then snorted and continued to cut the colored papers. She was little touched that Ranma or Ranko-chan wanted to replace her. But she was still confused why he decided to do so. 'What is he planning to do now? Hmpf! As if I care,' she sadly thought.

"Ok fine!' he exasperated. "I'll get out of here!" he then left.

"Hey! Aren't you going to help us?" the class president shouted at Ranma but didn't receive any response from the martial artist. "Lazy as usual."

Ranma went to the rooftop then tried to think for another plan. He realized his stupidity by replacing Akane. He could think more if he's up there and he needed to think fast and effective to win Akane back and to stop her from kissing those hungry wolves. "Damn it! Then I have to do the Plan B! Unfortunately, I don't have Plan B! Grrrrr! This is really annoying!" he pulled his hair and he felt that he was about to lose his sanity. "Plan B. Plan B. Plan B!" he shouted.
