Part 13. ...for love

Then the creature locked its eyes on Lum and Ranma was sure that it would attack any moment. Then its shape started changing so that it resembled a human.

The human formed creature had the same tiger patterned clothes as Lum but his was more of a body suit. Two small horns stood out from his dark green hair. His face was handsome, even Ranma would say that.

Then he spoke
"Lum."

Ranma wasn't sure what to say about this strange thing before him. At first he thought that this was another welcome from Jusenkyo but when the tiger-bull transformed into a human he knew that this one wasn't from Jusenkyo.

Unlike the pigtailed boy who didn't know what to do, the green haired alien girl was ready already holding back her lightening bolts.
"Rei. What are you doing here?"

The man didn't respond as he came closer to her. Uncomfortably close for Lum and dangerously close for Ranma.
"Lum."

Shinobu and Ataru, were cowering in the room fearing that if they moved then either side would lash out and from the way the pigtailed boy was looking he didn't like the newcomers attitude towards Lum.

Then suddenly Shinobu realized where she knew the two from! The moment she realized it, she just could not keep the information to herself.
"You're Saotome Ranma and she's that invader girl Lum!"

Shinobus sudden outburst made Ranma and Lum feel kind of awkward. It was barely two days and seemingly the people had already problems recognizing them... not that they wanted it!

Yet her sudden announcement made Ranma think and he realized something.
"(Now that I think about it... no one actually recognized us! The party at that square must have been awesome, if no one recognized us till now.)"

Ranma looked at Lum who was trying to push away Rei who was holding her in what could be called a romantic embrace but Lum was trying to get away from it.

The pigtailed boy postponed the question for a while to save the green haired damsel.

"Lum." Rei was coming closer and closer to Lum's lips and from the looks of it she was going share a kiss with him. Luckily someone heard her prayer as Rei stopped and started to go backwards.

Rei tried to look at the person who dared to separate him from his beloved but the sudden vertigo and stop didn't help him. The menacing pair of blue eyes wasn't a good sign either.

He tried to get free from the vice like grip but it wouldn't budge. Then the eyes came closer than Rei would have wished for and a deep voice rang in his ears.

"Leave her alone. NOW!"

The last thing Rei saw before he landed in the yard was the pigtailed boy.

Everyone in the room was shocked at seeing Ranma throw Rei out the window. Then Lum hugged him from behind and started saying something about being her hero.

Knowing that he might have gone overboard with this he turned towards Ataru.
"I'm sorry for the disturbance I caused. I'll take full responsibility for it."

"No need. I mean, that... guy came in uninvited and..." Before Ataru could finish Rei came back with Mrs. Moroboshi besides him, his eyes showed anger but disappeared as soon as saw Lum.

"Ataru do you know how this gorgeous young man landed in our lawn?" As his mother spoke Ataru could see two things that were strange about his mother.

First the makeup that made her younger and alluring. The second was the way she looked at both Rei and Ranma.

The pigtailed boy and Rei cared about it as they saw each other.

Ranma looked at him and Rei started trembling. It was the rage when he saw the look on Lum's face as she looked on Ranma.

The pigtailed boy felt cocky enough to dismiss his opponent, he wasn't as strong as Ryoga nor as sly as Mousse.
"Anything you want to say?"

Before he could continue taunting Rei pulled out a gun and pointed it at him. When it came to weapons the young Saotome was well educated even if he preferred his fists.

Yet Genma only mentioned the use of guns, he didn't have any experience fighting someone like this!

Rei looked into Ranma's eyes... followed up by a long silence. The oni male looked like he was trying to remember the words he needed.
"Bang! Dead!"

Not sure if this was a threat for the future or a way to tell him that he should be ready to dodge any moment.
"Lum... is this guy serious?"

Lum nodded but added what she understood based on the situation and her knowledge about Rei.
"I'd say he's challenging you to a duel. If you don't accept he shoots you that instant."

Smirking at this, Ranma looked at Rei and that was all that was needed.

Outside on the street

The two combatants prepared for the match. Neither trusted the other enough to let him out of his sight.

Rei was stoic and didn't show emotions even when Lum was right in front of him! This alone spoke volumes of how determined he was.

Ranma on the other hand was going through strategies to beat his opponent. He could probably knock him out in a matter of moments but where is the fun in that?

While he was waiting there, he saw a small monk approaching them. He already didn't like him.

"I have arrived. So this is where I felt the disturbance." The small man started looking around until he stopped when he looked at Ranma.

The small monk came too close for Ranma and while the pigtailed boy had already seen a couple of ugly mugs. This guy's head was on the top five list!

"I see GREAT tragedy befalling you! You must run while you still have time." The monk tried to make him move but didn't achieve anything.

There was a big rumbling behind him so the pigtailed boy turned around to see what it was. He found Ataru with a huge amount of fire wood... around him on the ground. He looked troubled.
"C...C...Cherry!"

The little priest looked at the young Moroboshi before memory kicked in. "Ah, the boy who I foretold that he has to face a great trouble. He still looks unlucky... and like a moron."

"You know this guy?" The pigtailed boy wasn't sure if this guy being someone Ataru knows is a good thing or bad.

"Yeah. He is the local head priest... a lousy one." Ataru voiced his opinion before he started making a fire.

"(What's the fire for?)" No matter how he tried to understand, Ranma couldn't see what use a fire could have in common with a duel.

"I wonder, when the preparations will be ready... unless they are going to build a whole arena just for the two of us."

Just as Ranma spoke he could see Lum and Shinobu bringing out two tables. Behind them was Ataru with a big sack on his back.

"(What is the sack for?)"

As he was about to ask, Cherry pushed his face into Ranmas.
"A duel is a matter of honour between men! I will be the referee."

On the sidelines the neighbourhood was gathering to check what was going on.

A man couldn't keep from voicing his curiosity.
"What is going on here?"

Another man in a business suit chimed in
"I don't know. Maybe a duel?"

Another man seemed shocked at this
"What? a duel?"

A woman also found this too strange. Even for Tomobiki.
"In this day and age?"

Shinobu, Lum and Ataru were almost ready with the preparations when Lum felt troubled.
"(No matter how special he is, he's still human! Ranma is strong but even HE couldn't stand against an oni!)"

Shinobu looked at the green haired girl and felt she should speak with her.
"What's the matter Lum?"

"I'm worried about darling. He won't be able to beat Rei... I will lose him."

After a few minutes, all the preparations were ready. Yet not everyone seemed pleased.

"You must be joking." Ranma wasn't sure what to think of this.

Rei looked at Ranma. A cocky smile appeared on his face.
"Worried?"

Ranma shot his own cocky smile as a response.
"(After Picolete, this guy won't be any trouble.)" With that thought Ranma started eating with his usual speed.

The people were disgusted and interested at the same time. One of the spectators couldn't hold in what he thought about this.
"A sweet potato eating contest? You call that a duel?" Yet he quickly became silent as the food in front of Ranma was disappearing at an inhuman rate.

The Moroboshi family who already knew Ranma, didn't know of his eating habits and so this was new to them as well.

"I hope the next time he comes over he won't eat all of our food." Mr. Moroboshi was pale from the sight. He and his friends did like to pig out when they were young... but that was nothing compared to this!

Mrs. Moroboshi found it disgusting but slightly alluring. She liked a man who enjoyed eating since it was a sign of how manly he was. But this was just over the top even for her.
"(I wonder what would my old friend Nodoka say if she could see this boy?)"

Ataru wasn't sure what was worse. The sight that met his eyes, the noise of the two eating, or the gossip that would start by tomorrow?

Shinobu couldn't stand the sight. Two handsome men, even if one of them is an alien... eating like a couple of ravenous monsters!

Lum had a fear that she might have a hard time cooking for her darling in the future. The idea of her cooking wasn't something she minded since she liked to cook... it was the amount that was troubling.
"(I hope darling will like the soldier rations... otherwise my spaceship will run out of food soon.)"

Rei didn't want to lose so he dug in with everything he had as he chewed faster and faster but still he couldn't keep up with that... monster!

Ranma looked at Rei who was already sweating as he ate.
"(Idiot didn't even realize that my potatoes ended up on his pile.)" He had to force back a laugh or everyone would realise that he wasn't eating.

After three minutes of playing, Ranma started eating as well but much slower then his opponent. Seeing this Rei looked like he had just won the galactic championship!

Then Rei felt the world darkening for a moment and felt the usual tremble when he transformed. In his human form he couldn't eat anymore but to his horror even in his tiger-bull form was full!

The people on the sidelines were scared by the sudden transformation. Even though Ataru and Shinobu had already seen it they were still a little bit unsure.

Lum was jumping around in joy. Then she hugged Ranma and exclaimed.
"When Rei eats too much he can't change back to his normal body!"

Ranma looked at the oni who was now laying on the ground fighting down the stomach pain. Rei looked at him, his face showing signs of pain but his eyes only showed anger.

So Ranma did the obvious. He continued eating.
"Darling you already won, you don't have to eat anymore."
"I'm not letting my pile go to waste. Besides I'm hungry."

Then seemingly out of nothing came a yell.
"Die Ranma!"

A few minutes ago

Hibiki Ryoga wasn't happy. Just before Ranma had to take part in that race he promised to fight him. "(It was days ago and I still can't find Ranma! That pigtailed bastard didn't even come looking for me!)"

A few hours ago Ryoga ran into Akane and her friends and ran straight to Tomobiki... even if he ran towards Shinjuku.

After an hour or so he finally got into Tomobiki-cho. The real challenge was finding Ranma! As he was wondering around town he jumped up onto a roof and pulled out an actual map. From what Akane had said that tea house shouldn't be too far.

Then reality snapped in for the Hibiki heir.
"Even if I get to that place there is no way that moron would stand there so I can find him!" Getting depressed that not only that he can't find Ranma to fight him he can't even fight him to punish him for hurting Akane's feelings!

As he was thinking about what to do now he saw a lot of people near one of the houses.
"(They might have seen Ranma.)"

As he got closer on the roof tops he saw the person he was looking for. After putting down his stuff he jumped towards his opponent. His mind going into battle mode he yelled like he usually does to get the attention of his target.

"Die Ranma!"

Ranma pushed Lum away as he blocked Ryoga's left fist with his right arm. The impact made the ground under him give in and a spider web like crack appeared.

With that move blocked Ranma moved away and let the forever lost boy land.
"What's up Ryoga? Here to fulfil your promise?"

Ryoga was more then happy to fulfil what he promised. He dashed towards Ranma and with a quick jab he hit Ranma on his right cheek. The impact sent him across the street to crash into the outer wall of a house.

The pigtailed fighter shook off the dust and took up his usual stance. On the inside he was surprised that the fanged boy had become this fast.
"(If he had had this speed a couple of weeks ago... he would have beaten me.)"

Smiling to himself that this fight just became better, the pigtailed boy couldn't wait to see how much he had increased in skill.

Ryoga was sure that this fight is his. He already landed the first hit and Ranma couldn't even react to it!
"Come on Ranma! I want you to show me what you got otherwise it won't be entertaining to beat you."

Hearing this the pigtailed boy let out a light laugh then seemingly disappeared and reappeared above Ryoga. Said fighter barely dodged the snap kick that was aimed at his head.

Not letting his chance go to waste Ryoga shot out with his left arm aimed at Ranma's stomach.
"(Even he can't dodge an attack in mid air from this range!)"

As the fist came closer Ranma smirked as he flipped forward and grabbed Ryoga's arm with his hands. This unnatural dodging made Ryoga yell at his opponent.
"What do you have instead of bones? Rubber bands or what?"

Ryoga let some of his ki out increasing his speed and before Ranma could react he slammed him to the brick wall that worked as an outer fence for a home.

The impact made Ranma let go of Ryoga's arm and the brick wall to crumble. A large dirt cloud enveloped the rubble.

The spectators didn't know what to do. Even if they wanted to help out the pigtailed boy they couldn't go up against this fanged boy who could probably beat them to death without a problem.

Lum however wasn't any kind of spectator, she was already charging up her lightening to strike at the guy who dared to harm her darling when this guy startled her by suddenly yelling like a madman.

Ryoga waited for his opponent to make his move. When there wasn't any sign of movement he couldn't control his anger "Get up! I know this wouldn't stop you."

Just as he finished and was about to close his mouth he found a full brick showed into his mouth.
"Don't talk with your mouth full!" Ranma's voice was followed up by the boy himself who dashed out of the dust cloud and let go of a barrage of attacks.

Fist, feet landed where ever it could as Ryoga was either soaking up the damage or blocking it. The people without a level of martial arts could only see the afterimages as the two fought.

"(Strange... my hits should have been enough to make him feel them. How did he improve so much?)" Ranma was deep in thought as he was still going about half of his limits. No matter how many times he hit the same spot seemingly it didn't have any visual effect on Ryoga.

"(I can barely block his attacks! How did Ranma get so fast and strong to make ME feel his hits?)" Ryoga was under big pressure as he focused with all his strength not to give in the pain that was building inside him.

Realizing that he needed a break he let more of his ki out to further enhance himself. The ki surge pushed Ranma away and the fanged boy used that moment to strike.
"Opening!"

Moving in range quickly, Ryoga's right fist met Ranma's abs. The pigtailed boy clearly couldn't move from the blow so the fanged boy continued with a spinning kick to the left cheek that sent Ranma into a lamp post.

Said steel post gave in to the pressure of Ranma's body. After coughing a bit Ranma was ready to continue.
"You know Ryoga... you really hit hard." With that the pigtailed boy upped his abilities.

Now if the people thought that fighting at that speed was inhuman than what they saw... or rather didn't was godlike.

Ranma vanished but the only sign of him stopping was when Ryoga keeled forward only to fly backwards and stop in mid air. A moment later Ranma became visible his fist planted into Ryoga's back who couldn't even voice a yell of pain because of the damage.

The young Hibiki fell to his knees as he fought for his consciousness that was disappearing. Then Ranma appeared before him and crouched before him. His eyes meeting Ryoga's.
"Happy now? Cause I sure enjoyed myself."

The fanged boy didn't know what to do. For a moment that seemed like ages silence fell onto the two.

"(Is he playing with me?)" Ryoga was deep in thought as he played back the fight in his mind.

Every time he hit Ranma... the pigtailed boy had a smile.
"(He's looking down on me? HOW DARE HE LOOK DOWN ON ME!)"

Ranma waited for an answer and he got it in the form of the deep green aura that surrounded both of them.

"This isn't good." The pigtailed boy could only say three words before he was held in the air by his throat.

The people didn't know what to do. Seemingly the two were away in their own little world which only had the two and an endless fight in it.

"Darling!" Lum didn't know what to do. She could attack but... could she do anything more than anger this man? The anger aimed at them man and herself summoned up the lightening. A man with a silver coated necklace had to hold onto the necklace as it was pulled towards the electric barrier.

Shinobu didn't know who to be more worried. The pigtailed boy who was in a bind or them when Lum's lightening will go lose? She looked at Ataru who was transfixed at the two.

Moroboshi Ataru... most would say that he was a carefree person and cared mostly for himself but now he showed that he cared for someone else who isn't female... at full time.

As he looked onto the two, he could see as the two whispered to each other but couldn't make out a word. Then a smile appeared on Ranma's lips.
"Ranma, are you enjoying this?"

Ranma was having trouble breathing as Ryoga's hold tightened on his throat but he knew that in the end somehow he will win.
"You know Ryoga... I'm quite... surprised... I'm... enjoying this... fight."

Before Ryoga could have done anything Ranma's hands lashed out striking Ryoga's arm, the sudden pain from it made the fanged boy let the pigtailed one go.

Forgetting the pain in his arm, Ryoga struck out to meet Ranma's attack. Fist met fist and across the neighbourhood the sound could be heard as the two fought.

A few minutes ago

A group of strangers ventured into Tomobiki.
"Are you sure Akane that you have seen my son here?" The fat, white gi wearing man asked the young girl whit short black hair.

"I'm sure Saotome-san. He was here with that alien hussy!" The raven haired girl replied and suddenly the tall man wearing a brown gi started crying and yelling something about dojo and merging.

Two older followed the two men. Both were older then what anyone had seen before.

There was also three other woman with them. Two of them had the same medium brown coloured hair, one of them had a pony tail while the other had a short pageboy haircut. The other was older than the two, with copper red hair, she also carried a bundle in her arms.

"I do hope Ranma is alright." The redhead said as she pulled the bundle closer to herself.

"Don't worry Saotome-san. I'm sure Ranma is alright." The younger of the two brown haired girls tried to comfort the older woman.
"After all who is that person who would fight him after what he pulled at that race?"

"Thank you Nabiki. You are such a sweet girl." Nodoka praised the girl who seemed a little uncomfortable by the look she was getting.

Akane wanted to say that Ranma won't be alright once she gets her hands on him when suddenly a shockwave washed over them.

The man in white gi trembled before he yelled out.
"That must be Ranma!"

The other man in the brown gi nodded before he started running.
"Let's go Saotome-kun!"

Back with the two fighters

The fanged boy was slowly losing the fight. While his hits were strong and his speed was incredible, his opponent still dodged and weaved around his fists to land a hit.

Sometimes a good hit landed but Ranma just shook it off as if it were nothing!

Ryoga understood that he had to go to the edge of his limits to surpass Ranma. The green aura's colour shifted. Close to his body it was almost black and it became lighter as it was farther from him. The ground also showed that his heavy ki increased. The ground gave in under the pressure and started to crumble.

Seeing that his opponent wasn't playing anymore Ranma too increased his strength, thought his body screamed from the pain that the excess ki energy caused.

As the two continued, barely moving and inch or two as they dodged, attacked, countered the audience could tell that this wouldn't end well.

A sudden increase in speed on Ranma's side gave him the edge and his fist met Ryoga's abs, that was followed by an uppercut and lastly a spinning kick that sent Ryoga into the lamp post.

Ranma didn't let this chance go to waste as he continued his attack. Ryoga quickly ripped the lamp post out of the ground and hit Ranma back with it.

The pigtailed boy sailed through two brick walls before he landed on his back.

Ryoga and Ranma were both engrossed by the fight. Now everyone around them was in danger so most ran for safety as the two fought.

Both fighters stood up, looking at each other. Tiredly and making mistakes both smiled at the other knowing what it will come down to.

"Well Ranma... this is it... the last attack that will decide... the winner." Ryoga yelled as he collected his ki for his blast.

"Yeah... let's end this Ryoga!" Ranma yelled back as his golden aura gathered around him.

The audience ran as they felt the sudden air pressure that came from the two fighters. Only Lum, Ataru and Shinobu stayed to see the outcome.

"This is where I felt Ranma's energy come from!" Genma yelled as he led the little group. Akane ran past him and was quickly stunned by the sudden air that slapped her in the face.

The rest of the little family got there just to see Ryoga and Ranma release their attacks.

"MOUKO TAKABISHA/SHISHI HOKOUDAN!" The two yelled in unity and after a moment the two energy orbs met each other.

The golden orb slowly pushed back the emerald one. Ryoga could barely stand on his legs and he knew that even if he wanted to he wouldn't be able to dodge the blast.

Ranma could barely see from the pain that his body gave him. It was only by his will that he wasn't unconscious.

The fighters were both shocked when a familiar voice yelled at them.
"Stop it! Both of you!"

Ranma and Ryoga looked to the source and both looked confused when they saw that it was Akane.

"Don't come closer you idiot!" Ranma yelled at Akane who was still running towards them. What Ranma didn't count on was that as he looked away that the orb exploded!

Moments before the explosion

Lum was above the two and watched carefully. As soon as she had seen that the light coming from the orb got stronger she dived towards Ranma to take him away from it.

She caught Ranma looking at her fear showing on his face and he yelled something as he jumped towards her.

The little family from Nerima and the two teens from Tomobiki couldn't believe their eyes. The explosion made a huge crater. Nothing remained in the crater.

"Ranma..." Nodoka and Genma said in union as both didn't know what to do.

Some of the neighbours came back to see how the fight ended. All of them were shocked to see that one of the fighters was there holding onto a short haired girl. The other however was gone and a large hole replaced him.

Ryoga who wanted to beat Ranma, who wanted to overcome him was now confused over the end of this fight.
"(I beat Ranma... I'm better then him. Why am I not jumping from joy? This is what I wanted the most... why do I feel empty?)" The fanged boy tried to solve this problem and soon came to a realization.

"(Ranma drove me to become better out of all of the fighters in Nerima he was special. He fought only to prove his strength, to overcome anything that was thrown at him. Without him I've lost my greatest opponent.)" Ryoga now knew that this was a mistake he couldn't blame on the pigtailed boy. He might have defeated him but at what cost?

Everyone who knew Ranma, felt crushed. Genma started yelling about his son being weak when suddenly a shoe landed in his face.

Looking up to see where it had fallen from. His eyes bulged at what he had seen.
"Ranma!"

Hearing Genma yelling the people had looked upwards to witness the pigtailed boy levitating in the sky.

"Who's weak old man?"Ranma was high in the sky with Lum in his arms. The pigtailed boy looked tired and in pain.

When the pigtailed boy landed, Lum barely let go of him and he was already embraced by his mother while his father was yelling at him for disrespecting him by throwing his shoe at him.

"Ranma never, EVER do that again!" Nodoka said as tears trailed down her cheeks.

The Tendos were happy that Ranma is alive and relatively unharmed. Ryoga on the other hand felt ashamed of himself and wanted to sneak away before anyone would remember him.

Enveloped by his mothers arms Ranma felt that he needed to thank one of the people who saved his life.
"\Ranryu, thank you for warning me about the explosion... and that Lum was flying towards me.\"

The inner spirit voice was low and sounded tired.
"\Anytime... but next time don't do this while you still can't use much ki alright?\" Ranma nodded inside his mind and felt that he could fall asleep in his mother's arms.

Yet when he had seen Ryoga walking away he got out of Nodoka's arms. He ran to Ryoga who couldn't even look into his eyes.
"Ryoga! Where are you going?"

The fanged boy could feel that this time Ranma won't forgive him so he might as well tell.
"I... don't know. I might find home... sooner or later."

The pigtailed fighter looked at Ryoga before laughing.
"Idiot, come one I bet you could stay at the Tendo's home for the night. I'll come and pick you up tomorrow and lead you home."

"Why?" The sudden question from the Hibiki boy caught Ranma's attention."Why, what?"

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"Because, you are my friend Ryoga." This one sentence made Ryoga struggle not to let his tears fall. "Thank you, Ranma. You really are... the best."

Ranma then saw the youngest Moroboshi talking with Shinobu, this made the pigtailed fighter realize something.
"Ataru. Sorry for the problems I caused you. I'll be back tomorrow and repair the damage."

Unknown to the pigtailed boy, Toboki still had adventures in store for him.

As the group neared the border of Nerima the Tendos and Saotomes were both shocked when Ranma said he won't be going back.

"What? Where will you sleep then?" Nodoka wanted to say that the family house was almost ready and the three of them should move back there soon but before she could say anything Genma and Soun started... again.

"Ranma you will come back to the Tendos so you can be with Akane!" Genma yelled at his son but this action didn't go well with Lum who already started giving off sparks.

"Ranma-kun you must come back! My little daughter will miss you otherwise!" Soun was sure that Ranma will come back with them. Who wouldn't come back for his little daughter?

The pigtailed fighter turned towards his mother and dismissed the two broken record players.
"Actually I was thinking on going on a training trip again so..."

"You could take Akane! A training trip is always good to bring the two of you together." Soun interrupted when the word trip came up.

"Ranma! As your father I command you to take Akane with you!" Genma stood by Soun who was ready to use his demon head attack if needed.

The pigtailed fighter wasn't sure what to do with the two idiots. Even if he beat them into the ground they wouldn't understand. Luckily an option came from inside help.
"\Mind if I intervene a little?\"

'Ranma' turned towards the fathers who were still ranting about joining the schools and the best way is if he takes Akane with him.

Neither of the fathers thought to see electricity appear in Ranma's eyes and envelope him in a menacing way.

Somehow both became silent in a moment. The only one who didn't look on him strangely was Lum... who had small hearts in her eyes.

The silence ended when Nodoka realised how this just happened.
"I won't mind that you want to go on a training trip AGAIN but I would like it if you would have a good night rest."

"Darling you can sleep at my place." Lum interrupted Ranma who wasn't totally against the idea but he didn't plan on staying in her ship.

Then again by the looks of it, rain could be expected for the night. Ranma was also expecting Akane to start yelling and ranting. Strangely it never happened, the young Tendo just kept quiet and seemingly didn't care about it.

When Ranma looked at Akane she seemed like a war was going inside her.
""(Something is wrong with her... more than usually)"
