The New Nerima Wrecking Crew Chapter 15 Three Sides
" Hey Akira."
The hanyou alchemist was greeted by a girl with shoulder length blue hair, black eyes and wearing a black outfit covered in computer tech. She was sitting before a large computer that took the entire section of a wall.
" Hey Amaya." He continued walking through the room. It was quite big and filled with students messing with werid devices.
-One guy was trying to clone himself, but kept getting chibified versions.
-A girl was trying to create and control a black hole, she couldn't make one big enough to suck anything in.
-Another group was trying to evolve a lizard into a dragon, with ...varying results leading to many new species so far.
Akira smiled happily, this place was like a second home. A hidden culture for geeks, nerds and other schooly oppressed denizens, The Furinkan High Mad Science Lab. He'd been invited to join ever since he first humiliated Kenichi. Akira finally reached the sector for alchemists where Kimera, amoung others were working.
One of the newer alchemists walked up to him.
" I hear you can transmute without a circle, can you teach me?"
" That is something that cannot be taught, not by me anyway."
"How do I learn it? Tell me!"
" Uhuhuh." Akira wagged his finger disaprovingly. "It's a secret."
Akira walked past the fumming junior alchemist to his own room, one he made himself for the privacy of his work.
" AKI-KUN!"
GLOMP!
Akira was flat on his back with a girl hugging him She had shoulder length brown hair, green eyes that spelled mischief, and brown inu ears on her head, wearing the school's uniform. He looked up at her, smiled and hugged her.
" What a pleasent surprise to see you Mit-chan. I assume you're on offical bussiness?" Michiko pouted
" Could it be I just wanted to see my bestest friend? " The female alchemist replied. " Are you working on your project?"
" Mit-chan, I thought you knew me better then that." He tapped her nose, she giggled. "I'm always doing something. "
" Akira, how do you know her?" Kimera growled.
" We learned alchemy together under the same teacher, but after a certain project we realized we had different goals." Akira explained as he stod up. Kimera noticed were still embracing.
" And then we went our seperate ways." Michiko finished. " It was a pleasure to see you again Aki-kun." and she left.
BOOM! A shockwave tore through the lab
" Don't worry! Just a cold fusion miscalculation." Said a nearby mad scientist." Strange, I could've sworn I fixed that."
' It was a pleasure seeing you too Mit-chan.' Akira thought with a knowing smirk.
Class 3-B
Hebun walked up to the alchemist that was denied the secret of transmuting without a circle by Akira.
" Hello I'm Hebun Takano."
" Yeah so?"
" I hear you like alchemy. I have some books that might be able to help."
" Like how to transmute without a circle?" Hebun scrathed the back of his neck.
" Well I can't understand them myself but they said something about a body circle."
" Really? That makes sense. I'm Akio Uramstio, I appericate your help."
"Class we have a new student joining us today, Michiko Sutima." The teacher called the class to attention.
" Hi, pleased to meet you." The alchemist bowed.
" Here. later." Hebun said to Akio.
Just outside the Urameshi House after school
Homura knocked and entered through the front door.
" Keisou isn't back yet." Keiko said before Homura said anything.
"I wasn't going to ask that!" Homura declared, Keiko gave her a look. " I wasn't!"
" Then why are you here?"
" Um, I was...just in the area and thought I'd say hello." Keiko smiled. Kuro walked into the room.
" Hey Homura, Keisou isn't back yet."
" I don't care." Then she picked him up and turned to leave. " Bye." She said to Keiko.
" Where are you taking me?" Kuro asked.
" Back to my house. I'm going to keep you so when Keisou comes back he can't escape again."
" So you're taking me hostage?" The spirit panther asked.
" If that's how you want to put it." The pigtailed one replied, the cub started squiriming in her grip so she started petting him and he relaxed involuntarily.
Genkai's Temple
Keisou sneezed but shook it off. He needed to focus on the task at hand. He stood at the door to the Temple's kitchen but was cautious opening it. Ever since the other sixth found out about his curse they'd been pranking him. One of the things they thought up was a bucket that would fall on him when he opened a door.
" Move it Dimiwit jr I'm hungry." Genkai pushed pasted him and opened the door.
" Sensei wait!"
SPLASH!
" What kind of a lame joke is this?" A soaking wet Genkai shouted at her sixth older students. Her glare was making them all nervous, then she charged and they went running( or flying) or get away from her.
Five minutes of embarrassing pwnage later
" Ahhh, that's much better." Genkai sighed as she slipped her tea. Beneath her was a pile of six unconscious and badly beaten demons.
" Better them then me." Muttered Keisou as he continued to eat his dinner.
" Keisou, you'll be going into the Forest first thing tommorrow." Genkai said between sips.
" Then I can go home?"
" You'll go home when I think you're strong enough, it's up to you if that day is tomorrow."
Anything Goes Dojo
" Homura why are you carrying a spirit panther?" Ranma asked his daughter as she walked in.
" He's Keisou's. I'm keeping him so Keisou doesn't run away again." The heir of Anything Goes replied.
" You're taking him hostage?"
" That's (purr) what I said." Kuro said.
" Are you so desperate for Keiosu's company you'll kidnap his familar?" Akira asked in Homura's ear.
" AHH! How'd you do that?" Homura shouted at the Alchemist.
" You didn't hear me comming? Bad form Mis. Martial Artist." Akira scolded with a cheerful smile.
' Appearing out of thin air, so that only displaced air gives away your arrival.' Ranma thought. ' I won't have seen him comming either if I hadn't fought the heir of Martial Artist Physics, I'll have to teach Homura to sense it.' He then smiled as Homura kicked Akira out the door. Homura took the panther cub to her room and went to the kitchen for some cream and a dish.
" How did you end up with Keisou?" Homura asked after she got back to her room.
" I don't feel like telling such a personal story." Said the Spirit Tiger with a haughty turn of his head. Homura took away his cream dish. " We met back when he was still part of a gang in his hometown."
" That's better." Homura gave his dish back to him. " Continue."
" It was durring a gang war. It just so happened that my tribe was in the area, we were told that we could find something that would help our tribe stay in Ningenkai(human world). Since we're spirits we can't stay very long on our own. We came upon the battle and choose human partners that would serve as anchors. All of this was advice from the person who told us to come. I found Keisou."
" Is there anything else you can tell me about him?"
" It's strange for a girl to want to know so much about a boy she claims to hate." Akira said thoughtfully with a hand on his chin. He was standing behind and to the right of Homura " Wouldn't you agree Mit-chan?"
" It's not strange at all Aki-kun, there is a fine line between love and hate you know." Michiko mussed with a similar posture She was standing behind and to the left of Homura. Said martial artist was glowing with anger. Akira continued as if he were unaware.
" You may have a point Mit-chan. It would explain why she's been obsessing over him lately. If you ask me, it could be called a crush." Homura spun around and punched him in the gut.
" Well nobody asked you!" Then she punted him out of her room. Michiko turned a kind smile to Homura.
" Boys can be very insensitive, Homura-san. If ever need a friend for some girl talk, I'm here for you." She said warmly before leaving.
The alchemist found her friend laying in a crater outside.
" If I didn't know better I'd say you've become a maschosit Akira."
" It's worth the physical pain. Do you mind helping me up?" He asked raising a hand. Michiko reached down to help him up when Akira smirked and pulled her down to him the switched places so he was on top. " Gotcha." He smirked.
" Now that you have me, what do you plan on doing?" She asked, also smirking.
" This." He leaned down and Michiko closed her eyes, and felt a pair of lips...on her forehead. She opened her eyes to see Akira with a smug look on his face. She glared at him.
" AKIRA!"
She vanished and reapeared to be above him and stomped on his back.
" You are such a tease!"
" Boys are insensitive, remember?" Akira mumbled in the dirt.
" So you heard that." Akira jumped up.
" Yep! It's not at all fair for you to use girl talk." Michiko folded her arms in her of her and smiled smugly.
" All's fair in love and war, you should know that by now." Akira scrathed the back of his neck sheepishly.
" Yeah I should, shouldn't I?"
The Next Day
Keisou ran through the forest near Genkai's temple when he was suddenly surrounded by five of his sensei.
" Youre not gonin home till we give ya ta fight o yer life." Chuu said as he cracked his knuckles.
" Good I'd be disapointed otherwise." Keisou replied. " But you'll have to catch me first." He formed a ball of reiki in his hand and threw on the ground, creating a large flare to blind the others as well as spread his reiki signature over a wid radius so it would hard to track him that way. He fired a shot gun to wind them and ran off. If he was paying more attention to his surrondings he would have noticed a poof of displaced air. Something caught his eye as he was running, it was a faint blue glow with a tint of black. He followed it and saw a circle of blue and black floating in mid air. " What the heck is that?" He sensed something behind him and saw Jin standing right behind him.
" Jin? I thought you were training with Sensei today, what are you doing here?" Keisou asked
Jin wagged his finger and replied. " Now that be a secret." Then he pushed Keisou into the blue and black circle and the Martial artist disapeared into it.. The wind master dusted his hands as if he had acomplished some task, touched the circle and it closed. Then he vanished in a poof of displaced air
" Hey now where did Keisou be going off to?" Jin asked as he flew into the area.
Nerima
SCRECHH!
That was the only warning Furinkan High had before a swarm of something that looked like a lizard and a hawk had been cut up and glued together by a five year old flew through the hallway. The swarm of chimeras sent just as many students running in blind panic and some ran into each other.
" Vile fiends! You shall not conquer this hallowed hall of learning! Not as long as Tawkawaki Kuno, The Blue Thunder stands here to defend it!" Kuno shouted and swung his bokken.
" Allow me, the Red Flame, the honor of assiting you in your quest to vanquish evil my sire!" Daichi called as he ran out of his classroom. The two were swiftly scrathed and bitten into submission.
" I think I'm going to like it here." Michiko said. There was a poof of displaced air in the broom closet. The browned haired alchemist opened the door. " That was rather sloppy Akira." He shrugged. " By the way, you missed first bell, what kept you?"
" That's a secret." The silver haired alchemist replied. He was about to get out of the closet when something bumbed Michiko and they were both knocked into the closet.
" Mei I think I hit something." Ming said as the two of them raced down the hallway slaying the chimeras with their bonbori.
" Focus Ming, there are still plenty of the chimeras." Said Mei and slammed a chimera with her weapon into a locker.
Class 3-A
" Akira Higurashi." Mokro said as he called roll. No answer.
" I'll find him." Kimera said. She started looking around the hallway and heard strange sounds comming from the broom closet. She opened it up and saw Michiko and Akira in a ..compromsing postion. Akira looked shocked while Michiko looked mischievous. She cuddled close to him and smirked at Kimera.
" Ohhh I'm so sorry you had to see us like this." Her voice dripped sarcasm. Kimera's eyes gained a feral catlike look and her body shifted into a humanoid griffon.
" Kimera, wait!" Akira called.
But it was too late and Kimera had already lunged at Michiko who poofed away only to appear behind her.
" Akira is quite good you know, he does this thing with his tongue." Michiko continued.
" She's lying!"
" RAAWNG!" Kimera growled as she slashed at Michiko again and again. Her target calmly dodged each slash, all the while smirking and going on and on about the things she supposedly did with Akira. After a few minutes of this Kimera changed tatics. She modified the skin on her palm so that the lines formed a transmutation circle and fired an air bomb(1). It caught Michiko by surprise and she was sent flying through the wall and into the school courtyard. Kimera spread her wings and followed after her, falling like a falcon dropping on their prey. Michiko rolled out of the way just in time and Kimera's claw slammed into the ground. The Inu alchemist jumped to her feet, pushed her hands together and created lightening by rubbing negitive and postive charges in the air together. Kimera ducked around the attack and lunged at Michiko, who jumped, pushed off Kimera's back and ran into town with Kimera hot on her heels.
Some male students that hadn't been chased away by the chimeras slapped Akira on the back.
" Akira you dog." They said. The Alchemist gave them a dry look before going after the two girls.
'Now I can proceed.' Thought Hebun. ' Letting those chimera loose was just the distraction I needed.'
' I wish I knew where my brother went.' Kenji thought as he walked to class.
" You're Kenji aren't you?" The football practioner spun around to see Hebun standing behind him.
' How'd he get behind me without my noticing?'
" Nobody ever notices me, but I'm used to it." Hebun sniffed and looked down.
" Whata want?"
" I might know how to find your brother." Kenji grabbed Hebun by the collar and glared.
" What do you know?" He demanded.
" I'm looking for someone myself, I thought we could help each other." Hebun replied nervously.
" I can't be seen with a runt like you, I still have my rep."
" Oh don't worry, I was just saying that if either of us finds out anything we'd tell the other." Kenji released Hebun.
" Ok. But you better find some info fast or you'll be seeing a lot of my fist!"
" It's deal then, why don't we shake on it?" Hebun extended his small hand and Kenji almost crushed it, then walked away.
If he turned around he would see a predatorial smirk on the smaller, weaker student.
Streets of Nerima
Kimera and Michiko were still batting it out in the streets of Nerima. Michiko launced a surprise attack with a pillar bursting out of the ground as Kimera lunged at her and slammed into her, sending her flying.
In nearby house a man unfolded his newspaper and began reading it.
" Honey what's that racket?" He asked his wife. She didn't give the battling duo a second glance.
"It's just a monster fighting with an alchemist in the backyard." Her husband calmly turned the pages in his newspaper, grunting in disapointment at how badly his favorite teams did in a recent tournament.
" Oh, I thought it was another mecha battle, is the toast done?" Kimera sailed through the kitchen doors and crashed into the breakfast table, the woman merely lifted the plates before they could get crushed. The chimera alchemist shifted her arms to snakes.
" I don't want any venom staining my carpets young lady." The woman warned.
" I'll be careful mis. Sorry about the table." and with that Kimera flew back into the melee.
" She sounds like a nice girl." Said the man and moved on to the comics.
Kimera flew above her foe and fired toxic venom from her snake arms, Michiko pressed her hands together then made an arc over her head, rearranging the air molecules to deflect the venom so it passed over her and onto the ground. Then they charged again but Akira jumped between them and quickly created a wall of compressed air on either side of him.
" Kimera, There is nothing between me and Michiko except a long friendship. Someone pushed us into the closet durring the chimera chaos." The hanyou explained.
" Really?"
" Would I lie to you?"
" No, you wouldn't." Then Akira turned to Michiko.
" You know I like a good joke but this was going a little too far." Michiko nodded and bowed to Kimera.
" I'm sorry for teasing you." Then she smirked. " It's not your fault you have possessive instinicts for a close male friend. Probably a flaw in your experiments."
Akira had to hold Kimera back from mauling Michiko. Once she had calmed down the three alchemists returned to school.
(1)AN- Air bomb is what I decided to call when an alchemist rapidly compresses and releases air at a target.
