I don't own Ranma 1/2 or Naruto!

"Why doesn't Naruto have to go to school?" She asks Kakashi after their Jonin instructor first asked them to meet the man in the guest room and then telling them that they failed their tests so they have to attend school. It had been shocking to say the less that the idiot of the team is the only one who doesn't need additional schooling.
"I mean, he's got that job at Doc Tofu's office in either the morning or afternoon! He lives out in that Dojo!" She adds but Kakashi just sighs.
"That doesn't change the fact that neither of you two managed to pass these tests. I have talked with both Kasumi and Doc Tofu and they have admitted to helping Naruto with his studies, even giving him minor reviews on what he's read." Their team leader tells them and she couldn't help but blink as she tries to come up with an argument only to realize that it will only be Sasuke and her going to and from school.
She glances over to Sasuke and smiles at the idea of spending a lot more personal time with the last Uchiha. We can stay up late studying together. After all, he's been spending way too much time with that Ranma. She thinks to herself with a frown while an inner image of herself pretty much laughing at an image of Ranma under that inner Sakura's foot saying, 'Take that, dog-girl!'
"Feh, it's not like we'll be using anything these classes teach back in our world." Sasuke states in a dismissive tone and Kakashi seems to sigh.
"Be that as it may, we need to keep the local government off our backs or they will investigate us to find that we don't show up in any records, in this world." The silver haired Jonin states. "For now, you both will be attending school while I begin to figure out how to create records with the right information so that we don't have to worry about such things for as long as we remain in this dimension."
"It's not as if we'll be able to hide our curses..." She couldn't help but point out. Though I get the feeling that for the right fee, Nabiki would be happy to create such information. Although then we'd be paying her off to keep her from telling anyone about the forgery so we don't get arrested. She muses with a frown as her hand moves to the pouch where a few bills Naruto had given her as spending money.
Just when has that idiot blond had time to study while he is busy working? I mean, the rent Nabiki is charging us it pretty steep as it is. Then she frowns slightly as she considers that and for the first time, it struck her as funny that Naruto Uzumaki is the 'bread' winner of their team.
But then, nobody seems interested in hiring Kakashi or us to do anything. Not even as babysitters. She admits.
"I'm sure word has gotten around about them." Their Jonin instructor says. "Just remember to take a few change of cloths in case of losing them or ruining them." Kakashi adds and she flinched slightly at the reminder of what usually happens when she is hit with cold water.
I really should have thought that out a bit better... It's not fair that Naruto's the only one not to be cursed. She thinks to herself as she begins to rub her left arm.
"For how long do we have to attend this school until we can go back to doing homeschooling?" She asks after glancing over to Sasuke, wondering if her love is thinking the same thing as her.
"Well... I'm not sure but I do know that you start the day after tomorrow. Kasumi will be going out to buy your uniforms." Kakashi answers.
"She doesn't need us to go along to get fitted?" She asks, not sure what to feel at the idea of the eldest Tendo daughter knowing her measurements.
"You could always head down an ask her." Kakashi muses as her teacher takes out one of his new books that the man has bought since Naruto started his job. She is rather reluctant to investigate the title of the book for fear of learning it's yet another porno.
With a sigh, she heads down stairs to do just that, only pausing at the door to glance at Sasuke for a few seconds, wondering what he has planned for today since she wouldn't mind going on a date with him today or tomorrow. I mean, what has he been using his spending money on anyway? She wonders as she exits out of the guest room and towards the stairs.
"Bye Kasumi! See you later this afternoon!" Naruto calls out from the door.
"See you, Naruto." Kasumi says before Naruto leaves, allowing the door to close on its own. She watches as Kasumi then heads away from the front door to return to doing her usual tasks.
As she makes off the steps, she calls out to the eldest daughter of their host's house hold. "Hey, Kasumi? Kakashi mentioned that you are heading out later to buy our uniforms. I'm just wondering if you need us to come along to be fitted." She says to the often surreal daughter of Soun Tendo.
"Oh, you don't need to, Sakura. I've got a rough idea of your sizes from doing your laundry. I wouldn't want you get embarrassed by transforming in the mall by accident." Kasumi informs her and she fights off the need to pale at the idea of her curse activating in front of so many people.
"Oh, ah, if you say so, Kasumi." She says and Kasumi smiles softly at her before returning to do her set tasks. She watches the young woman with a pang of envy since she isn't nearly haft as talented with it comes to doing housework.
With a sigh, she glances over to the clock on the wall and then heads out into the backyard, heading for the dojo for practice since she had to stay in good form for when a certain Kuno decides to try for another round. That woman is more then capable of putting the fear of women in anyone. She decides privately.
Dinner
She couldn't help but glance warily at the very familiar, purple haired teen girl clinging to her teacher's side. Earlier, Naruto had shown up but took one look at the scene where Shampoo is clinging to Kakashi's side and left before said Chinese Amazon noticed his arrival. She did silently curse the fact that she hadn't managed to do the same right seeing Shampoo lower the face mask and give the Jonin a deep, passionate kiss.
Of course seeing what's finally under said mask clearly shocked me enough to keep me from remembering to sneak away before the Amazon noticed me... She thinks to herself as she glancing at her glass of water before glancing over at a very nervous Ranma and Genma.
After all, Ranma might have tossed the girl around but it was Genma who broke that pot over Shampoo's head... I wonder if that makes her Ranma's step-mother if Shampoo ever learns that Genma was that panda that knocked her out... She muses before trying to force herself to eat something since she had long since lost her appetite.

"This is so not going well..." He murmurs to himself as he watches a group of people begin to make a large scene at a table a few meters away from where he's sitting. And here I thought people from Nerima were prone to causing a fight scene...
"Excuse me, but what is their argument about?" He asks a passing waiter, he couldn't help but notice how... nervous and fearful the man is. The waiter glances from him to the group where weapons were finding their way into the fighters' hands.
"Something about a demonic stag that's been seen around Tokyo. Now if you excuse me, I have to find a spot in which to hide in." The waiter then flees.
He blinks before glancing around to find that a lot of people were ducking under tables. He sighs and wonders if it's too late to ask for the bill before what the waiter said finally sets in. Why am I not surprise that it only took two nights for the nine-tail demon to attract attention in this city? He muses with a mental sigh.
Just what kind of fighters are they anyway? I mean, why would they want to take on a demon? He wonders as he begins to study them with a slight frown.
After observing the group, he decides that no, they haven't realized he's in the restaurant. Guess that answer that. He thinks with a slight smile of relief, though in the end, he's even more relieved when the group finally breaks apart and storm out of the restaurant with their weapons in hand.
It takes a few minutes before people began to come out of hiding. Though at the slightest noise the crowd would flinch and look warily around, half expecting something to happen. Hopefully my dinner won't be ruined because of this episode. He thinks as he glances off towards the kitchen.
In time he did forget about the earlier commotion with the group of Demon hunters to begin shifting through the memories of his clones. A few interesting bits of information did occupy him until a waitress arrives to, finally, take his order. He hands the menu over afterward with a smile which the young brunet returned before hurrying away, leaving him alone at his table once more.
After sorting through said memories, he begins to muse about the fact that Sakura and Sasuke will be attending school beginning tomorrow morning. It truly amuses him that the number one rookie of their year is being forced to attend a school while he, the class clown and last of their class didn't. I wonder if I shouldn't get him a collar with tags as a gift? I mean, just to let people know he belongs to someone.
Soon enough his meal arrives and with a soft 'thank you', he unrolls the napkin and set it on his lap before picking up the chopsticks to begin to eat his dinner.
Morning
o 0 O -Ranma- O 0 o
On entering into the kitchen, he couldn't help but stare at the red and black haired kid helping Kasumi and Shampoo out in the kitchen. When the stranger turns, he finds band-aids on both of the kid's cheeks and very familiar eyes. "Yo, Ranma." The disguised Naruto Uzumaki says giving him a two finger salute.
"Ah... hi." He says and Shampoo nods in his direction before saying, "Hi Ranma! Is Airen up yet? Shampoo helping to make too, too delicious food with Cherry-boy and Nice-girl!" Shampoo beams as the Amazon gets to Kasumi and Naruto's nicknames.
Naruto rolls his eyes and says, "Name's Ataru, Shampoo, Ataru." He blinks as he realizes that Naruto was saying this more for his benefit then Shampoo's.
Guess that explains why Naruto wasn't around much last night. Must be one expensive dye job too. He muses as he slowly shakes his head as he turns to head for the dinning room.
"Morning Ranma." Sakura says as she yawns and stretches. He glances at the kitchen once he's sitting down at the table.
"Ataru?" He says and Sakura blinks with a puzzled look on her face. "Fishcake is going by Ataru now? Have you seen his hair?" He whispers to the pink haired girl, it seems that Sakura did get a touch up job with her own dye job.
"Fishcake... Oh? Oh!" Sakura seems to fully wake up, looking very startled at the idea that Naruto's here.
"I got tea!" Naruto says in a sing-song voice and Sakura just gawks at the former blond ninja. While Sakura tries to find her voice, Sasuke and Nabiki arrive.
Sasuke studies Naruto, likely taking in the dual color dye job, for a few seconds before grunting and moving to take a place at the table. Nabiki is her usual morning self waiting for a couple of cups of tea before fully waking up. Naruto did stick around to fill pour them some tea and just before the ex-blond heads into the kitchen, Naruto says, "Sakura? Sasuke? Just remember to head back upstairs to put on your guys' uniforms, wouldn't want you to get into trouble over that little detail."
Sasuke just ignores the ex-blond while Sakura looks alarmed, it seems that she had forgotten all about the fact that she's expected to begin attending school. Not that he blames her since a lot has happened in the two days, none the least of which is having their old 'buddy' Shampoo finally caught up with them.
Naruto's lucky, all he had to do was dye his hair, cover his whisker marks with band-aids, and change his name for Shampoo not to recognize him. It's not going to be easy for us, not with our curses being some kind of water magnet. He thinks as he sips his tea, his mind whirling around the last few meetings with the Chinese Amazon that's in the kitchen.
He's more then a little relieved at the fact that during their original meeting with Shampoo that Naruto managed to keep him from leaping up onto that challenge log to fight the purple haired teenager since he's fairly confident that he would have won that fight, which means it could be himself who's married to Shampoo. Though, Sasuke did manage to force her to drop her weapons when she began threatening to kill and eat Pops...
By the time the rest of the rest of the house hold arrives, Naruto has come in to refill the tea pot as well as adding more cups. More then a few of the adults couldn't help but stare at Naruto's new style for a few seconds before dismissing it. So Kasumi and Shampoo begin to bring in plates filled with various food.
"Nihao Airen!" Shampoo chirps on entering into the room. "We go on date later, yes?" The teen asks and then pecks Kakashi on the cheek before heading back into the kitchen to continue to help Kasumi bring out more plates filled with food stuffs for breakfast.
Seems like somebody is going to have a long day ahead of them. He muses as Shampoo practically sits in Kakashi's lap as breakfast begins with Naruto taking his seat.
