This is a memory chapter: Ranma is not in it as he is off training with Genma. I am starting from when Akane found Ranma and the 'Panda' gone. This will be mainly from Akane's point of view.

Akane scowled as she noticed that both the Panda and girl had disappeared. She was still holding the wet cloth in her hand, and put it down. She got up and shook her legs. She paused for a moment, then realised she was hungry. She looked at the clock, and realised she had been sitting for a whole hour. She walked to the fridge, wobbling a bit as the blood reclaimed lost territory.

She spotted her father sitting drooped over the shoji table. She wasn't really sure why they had a table especially for playing shoji on as no-one except him played the game, especially not with her cheating father. But she went over to see what was wrong regardless, despite the sad blue aura hanging around Soun Tendo. He didn't even look up as Akane approached, but she could see tears streaming silently down his cheeks. That was worrying. He always made a huge racket when he was upset.

"What's wrong?" Akane asked. When he didn't respond, she turned inquiringly to Kasumi, who replied for him

"He's been like this ever since he went to get some sake" Kasumi said in her normal gentle tone "He won't talk to me."

"Maybe there wasn't any sake?" guessed Akane "I'll go check." Akane went over to the fridge and opened the door. "Uhh, Kasumi, I don't think it's just the sake…" There was a note inside. It read:

Dear my friend Soun Hey Stupid people!

I stole all your food you idiots! Haha you're so stupid falling for it! I stole all your food and im gonna eat it all on my trip that I'm on right now

I'm the best ever :P

Genma Ranma Saotome,

P.S I'm coming back, and feel free to give my fath Pops the Panda my share because I stole all your food

"Oh my." Kasumi said "I guess I'll have to go shopping again." Kasumi checked the savings and pulled out two thousand yen. "We're almost out of money. I had just bought a ton of shopping…"

"Ranmmmma…" growled Akane "I trusted you!" The shoji table got upturned, and Akane stormed off in a rage. She went up to her room, smouldering with rage. She slammed the door and flopped onto her bed, her thoughts racing angrily around her head. How dare she? After all we did for her… She punched the pillow, and let her thoughts rage.

Next morning Akane got up and blearily went through her morning exercises. She went to wake Ranma up, and was momentarily surprised to see she was gone. Then she remembered about yesterday, and her anger returned. Her mood darkened, and she savagely retreated to the dojo. She had automatically trusted Ranma, but Ranma had betrayed her! She rarely got this worked up, but this was big…

Remains of bricks soon covered the entire dojo. Having worked out her anger, Akane quickly breakfasted and left the house. She turned to call Ranma, but remembered in time not to. Scowling again, she headed off to school, and unfortunately for the Hentai horde, she wasn't in a good mood. She reached school, and still in a bad mood, attacked the boys savagely, sparing no-one her wrath

Soon boys were sprawled across the entrance, while doctors and nurses frantically went to and fro trying to collect the boys of Furinkun high. Kuno was off sick, luckily for him. The unusually vicious morning left quite a lot of absences. Unusually, the whole gymnastics squad was also missing. Akane brushed it off as a coincidence, or a team bunk. It wasn't THAT unusual for people to bunk school… Although this was a first for them

Akane missed her name in the register as she was thinking, and quickly made her presence known. The teacher pushed his glasses back up his nose and squinted at Akane, then muttered something before pausing the register to remark Akane as present.

The rest of the day went by without incident, except the boys were a lot more cautious around Akane, and most seemed to remember something really important they had forgotten that was in the opposite direction whenever they ran into Akane. A few of the Hentai Horde were lucky enough to be able to return to lessons that day. Akane hoped that would stop the attacks. Although knowing them, she would still have to fight them off

She returned home in a lighter mood than she had set off in, but somehow got lost while wondering whether the boys would stop yet on the way back. She looked up and sighed at her bad luck. She was right in front of the Kuno estate. She quickly backtracked and started heading back to her house, when she saw a girl clad in a green leotard, twirling a red ribbon while cackling like a maniac. Black petals were streaming endlessly out of the centre of the vortex. She jumped around the area, not noticing Akane, and jumped in through one of the windows of the mansion. Akane quickly continued her journey home.

At her house, she found the cheerleading squad. They were wearing a ton of bandages, and sitting at the table dejectedly, each one with a cup of ignored tea in front of them. Akane went over to the leader, Yui*. Yui and her squad suddenly noticed Akane, and looked at her, their eyes full of hope.

"Akane!" All three of them spoke in unison, and Yui continued "We uh… We got ambushed…" Akane's eyes widened in shock, but Yui cut across whatever she was going to say "We have a martial arts rhythmic gymnastics tournament coming up soon, and we were training outside. Our opponent, from St. Hebedekes, was Kodachi Kuno." She yet again sliced through what Akane was about to say "And yes, she is Upperclassman Kuno's sister. Same house, same blood." That must be the girl I saw before! "She attacked us and we got these" She said, motioning to her wounds "From some ribbon she had."

"But what's this got to do with me?" Akane asked "I'm not trying to be rude, but why did you come here?"

"We want you to do the gymnastics for us" Yui pleaded, her subordinates nodding together "You're the best martial artist in our school, and we really can't face another defeat."

"Me?" Akane asked in shock "Alright then… I'll do it…" Akane clenched her fist and her expression turned to fierce determination. "I'll avenge you"

Sorry this one took so long: I missed it last week, so I'm doing two this weekend instead. Look forward to the next chapter coming soon!

Yui was made up, as I don't think her name was ever given. If it was, my bad... But I like the way this is going. A word of warning, some of the chapters may change as I sometimes go over them to check them and change anything I don't like.

Next chapter will be Akane's training and her difficulties against Kodachi. As I have mentioned earlier, Akane lost to Kodachi's tricks, but I'll aim to get it to be a fierce battle.

Comments please! I haven't received one in a while, and I want to know what you think. If you don't tell me, I won't know. It's like the saying 'If you have heated it, it'll be hot'

As I said earlier, next chapter coming soon!
