So I'm going to go ahead and have him in the school and meet everyone there, now understand something.

A New Life: The pain behind her Smile
Chapter Two: Was school suppose to be this crazy?
Xxxxxxxxxx
Ranma opened his eyes, looked around at his surroundings and for a brief second had forgotten where he was. Even after two days of being in Nerima, Ranma would forget where they had settled down. Right, we're staying at the Tendo Dojo. Ranma thought to himself.
Yesterday, Ranma had left the house to explore the town, he didn't find anything wroth noting, except for a used manga store. That was were Ranma found something that he had instantly found something that he liked. After buying a few things Ranma realized that he didn't have a place to put them.
So when Ranma had gotten back to the dojo he explored the house in secret, this was ware Ranma found a hidden room with in the attic. It was prefect and the best part was that it had sound proofing so it was the prefect place to hide and set up a room that he could hide in.
Grabbing his cleaning supplies and his school uniform something that he had gotten yesterday, even though he wouldn't normally wear something like this, it just didn't feel right. After cleaning up and getting dressed, Ranma made his way to the table. He placed his bag next to the wall and walked into the kitchen.
"Excuse me." Ranma said in a soft voice. "Would you like some help?" Kasumi turned around and blinked. "Sure, if it's not to much trouble could you set the table?" Kasumi asked. Ranma nodded and had gotten the things that was needed. Once back out in the family room Ranma quickly set the table and then sat back down.
Looking around Ranma blinked. The place was somewhat a mess. It wasn't terrible not by any means, but it needed a cleaning. Looking around and making sure no one was looking Ranma crossed his fingers in a cross shape he softly called out "Kage Bushin." in a puff of smoke three Ranma had appeared.
"Please help clean the house but make sure no one sees you." The Original Ranma ordered. The clones nodded and then they went to work. No one saw the clones as they cleaned what needed to be cleaned, they even did the laundry, but what would surprised everyone was the fact that the clones had also cleaned the walls and ceilings of the house.
All this didn't take long with the exception of the cloths everything was done just as Kasumi walked out of the kitchen. "Oh my!" Kasumi said, seeing as how the house was suddenly cleaned. "Ranma you didn't have to." Ranma only smiled and stood up and took some of the trays of food from Kasumi hands. "It's okay, I like helping out people." Kasumi blinked and then shrugged her shoulders to Kasumi, Ranma didn't seem to be like his father.

Kasumi, Ranma, and Akane had left the house at a good time, thanks to Ranma's help Kasumi was able to get done a lot faster then she normally would, meaning that this time she would be on time for once. She turned to look at Ranma, but had to blink and the young man was reading a Magazine, she had to blink again as she read the cover.
"Ken Masters?" Kasumi asked as she looked at Ranma. Ranma nodded his head. "One of the best martial arts masters alive." Akane huffed at that. "More like the best fake of all time." Akane argued. Ranma looked at her and blow a raspberry at the young Tendo. "You wouldn't know a great martial artist if he came up and kicked in you the face."
It didn't occur to Kasumi at the time but Ranma wasn't walking next to either Akane nor herself, he was walking on top of the fence like he was walking on the side walk. "Oh please, I could beat that faker with my eyes closed." Ranma stopped looked at her and started laughing.
"yo...you, beat one of the best martial artist in the world?" Ranma stopped, jumped off the fence and stood in front of Akane with his arms crossed. "Get real. You do know that Ken sensei was one of the key fighters to help stop Shadaloo right...Right!?" Akane took a step back and stared at Ranma. Kasumi blinked she saw something, she wasn't sure what it was but there was something there.
The two had stopped yelling at each other as they neared the school. Kasumi blinked, she had heard about the mob of boys that would attack, and harass her little sister, but she never would have believed at the large group. "The hell?" Kasumi turned to Ranma and blinked. "What the hell are you an Amazon?" Ranma asked.
"Shut the hell up Ranma and stay out of my way." Akane yelled as she ran into the crowd and start punching and kicking the boys, and in some cases some girls as well. Ranma had a sick look on his face as he watched with his arms crossed. "An Amazon?" Kasumi asked while standing next to him. Ranma smiled and looked at the eldest Tendo. "I'll tell you later."
Akane had finished the last boy off with a spinning back kick before she had caught a rose. "Great, come out Sempi, so I can kick your ass as well." Kasumi sighed they really need to work on her cursing. Ranma blinked and titled his head to one side as he listed to the young man. "Excuse me, are you sure you have the right girl?" Ranma asked. " 'cuse all I see is a tomboy who dreams about being the best."
"You dare slander the good Akane Tendo?" The young man said. "I Tatewaki Kuno will not stand for it." Without Warning Kuno had swung his bokken at the young man who jumped back. "Hey Kasumi can you hold this for me?" Ranma asked. Kasumi rolled her eyes but took Ranma's bag. Then Ranma bit his figure, drawing blood he then ran the blood across a seal on his wrist.
Everything seemed to stop as Ranma drew a bokken that seemed to come from thin air. Among the students who was watching the two a Young teen the same age as Akane watched the pigtail young man. Was that Chakra? Who is that guy and why does he look familiar? She thought. Kasumi was just as shocked as the young woman standing not that far from them. As if to sense her Kasumi turned to the young woman and smiled, she held up a figure and placed it to her lips. The young woman nodded and turned back to the fight.
This guy is good. Ranma thought. Okay time to speed things up. "You're good but I need to end this or I'll be late for class." Ranma said. Every student that stay to watch the fight had wide eyes as the young man that they knew nothing about seemed to have vanished before their eyes and had somehow appeared behind Kuno with his bokken at his left side like a samurai of old. "I win." Ranma said as Kuno eye blinked out and he fell to the ground.
"Hot damn!" Someone yelled. "Someone besides Akane had beaten Upperclassman Kuno." Cheers had started to go though the crowd that had watched the fight. Ranma rubbed the back of his head and looked embarrassed a little bit with a looked at the clock that was on the school. "Oh Shit I'm late!" Ranma yelled before running into the school.

Ranma and Akane was standing in the hallway. Ranma had his hands crossed over his chest while Akane was holding buckets. "This is your fault you know that?" Akane said. Ranma didn't say anything. He had his head down but his eyes were opened. "If you would have just butted out this would have never happen."
Ranma still didn't say anything. In truth he was thinking about his fight with Kuno. Akane kept talking but as far as Ranma was concerned she could have been talking to a wall and he still wouldn't care. "Hey are you listening to me?" Akane asked. Ranma turn to look at her and stuck his tongue out at her. "So basically, It's Kuno's fault that your a lesbian?" Akane took a step back.
"I over heard you when you were on the phone this morning talking to you girlfriend." Ranma said. "I'm not judging." Ranma told her. Akane shook her head. "No, Yuka and I have been dating before Kuno made his damn speech." Ranma nodded. "We should..." Ranma looked back that the classroom and lowered his voice. "talk about this blasted engagement."
Akane didn't say anything. She just looked at the boy and crossed her arms. "I'm not going though with it." Akane looked at him. "For one I'm..." whatever Ranma was going to say, he couldn't say it. The reason being was that Kuno had come running down the hallway, with both buckets and wood sword. Ranma jumped out of the way just in time.
"Watch it asshole!" Ranma yelled at him. "Never!" Kuno suddenly yelled at him. "I will never allow you to marry Akane Tendo!" Ranma ducked under Kuno and punched him hard in the stomach. Kuno took a step back and held his stomach. "I don't know what the fuck you been smoking, so do you mind telling me what you're on about?" Ranma swore at Kuno.
"I'm talking about your engagement to the fair Akane Tendo!" Kuno yelled. Two seconds passed and all hell broke lose as student slammed open a window and started asking both Akane and Ranma questions. Ranma eyes narrowed as he stared at Kuno. "How did you found out about that?" Ranma asked in a dangerous low voice.
"Nabiki Tendo."

Kasumi was standing in the hall. She was standing off to the side as she watch Kuno and Ranma go at it in the hallway, and by the looks of it, Ranma was winning...again. The teen from before walked up to the eldest Tendo and stood next to her. "Sounds like Nabiki's at it again." She said. Kasumi nodded. "So who's the new kid?"
Kasumi turned to look at her. "Ranma Saotome, you should know he's in the same class as you and Akane." The teen shook her head. "I was in the bathroom at the time, I was just about to join them when the shit show started." Kasumi turned to her and raised an eyebrow. "It's not like you to miss attendance Saiyuri."
Saiyuri shrugged her shoulders. "I was looking at the Readings I took about the kid." Kasumi turned to look at her. Then she laughed. "He's not a demon Saiyuri." Kasumi said. Saiyuri turned to her and nodded. "I know, but the reading did show abnormality in the scan, and then there's the fact that he knows how to use seals and chakra."
Kasumi turned to her so fast that Saiyuri was having trouble believe that it didn't hurt. "Chakra? Are you sure?" Saiyuri nodded. "but there's no one alive that could have trained him to use that form of energy." again Saiyuri nodded. "Okay, We'll meet later tonight and talk more about this." Kasumi said as she turned and saw Ranma and Kuno jump out the window.
"You idiot!" Akane yelled out. "We're on the third floor." Everyone ran to the window but they could only see one body in the pool that was below them. As everyone left Saiyuri went to the window and looked down. Sure enough Ranma was some how sticking to the side of the school building. Saiyuri left without Ranma seeing her as the young man started to walk down the wall of the school.

"I'm leaving." Ranma said as he walked back in the classroom and grabbed his things. Akane looked at him and sighed. "Fine, I'll bring your homework assignments back home with me." Ranma looked at her and smiled. "Thanks Akane." and with that Ranma left. Saiyuri watched as he left, there was just something about him that was bugging her, but she couldn't place her figure on it.
She had asked Akane about him, but she was about as much help as a two legged dog. She learned that Ranma and his father had shown up at the Tendos door over the weekend, to full fill the marriage agreement between the two fathers to 'being the schools together'. Saiyuri understood that part. What Saiyuri didn't get though was why her scans of Ranma was showing abnormalities in her scan.
The scans had shown that Ranma had not one, not two, but three different sources of life energy. Mana which is the life energy of Mages, although rare, it's not unheard of since it's the source for anyone with magical abilities. Chi and Chakra were basically the same thing. Chi enhances the body, while Chakra let's you do things that basically tell logic to go fuck itself.
For the most part Saiyuri couldn't really see anything wrong, however the scan did show that Kasumi was wrong. Ranma wasn't completely human, but he wasn't a demon either. Saiyuri needed answers, if Ranma was a threat to the city he needed to be stopped. One way or another.

-Tendo School of Anything Go Martial Arts-
Ranma had walked though the gate and then stopped. He could sense Genma was with Soun and didn't want to have to deal with them. The Tendo Daughters were still at school and if Genma found out that Ranma has skipped the rest of the day, it could cause Ranma some problems.
With a heavy sigh Ranma had no choice. He turned around and walked back out of the gate. He made his way to the park and sat down. He hunched over in his seat and thought about what he was going to do. No matter what I do, Genma is always one step ahead of me. Ranma thought. It's bad enough that he lies,cheat, Steals, and Murder, but now he has Soun fooled. Ranma blinked at that last part.
Sure, Soun Tendo wasn't very bright, but the guy was a martial artist, so just how strong was he? Ranma grinned. The only way I'm going to be free of Genma is if I beat him. Ranma thought. And there lies the problem. Genma is a master at the art, maybe even Grand-master and ever since we left the Island he maybe even stronger, even though he doesn't show it. So why? Why does he need me so badly?
The answer never came. Ranma for the most part was a strong young man in his own right. Genma would train him just enough to give the old Martial Artist a challenge, and Ranma would never disappoint either. I almost had him the other day. Opening and closing his fists Ranma thought about his fight with Genma.
I was able to land a Ki blast but that doesn't really mean anything, and I'm glade that he did ask me were I had learned that move. Ranma had much to think about. Looking up Ranma decided that enough time had passed and was about time to return back to the Tendo Dojo.
Upon returning to the Tendo Dojo he had learned that Genma wasn't there. Soun was out back with a cup of tea and just looking at the pond. "Shouldn't you be in school young man?" Soun asked. Ranma sighed and sat he's stuff down by the table. "I wasn't feeling good and asked to leave earlier." Ranma replied back.
Ranma was debating rather or not to sit next to Soun, or to go to the Dojo and practice his martial arts. "Tendo-san, can I ask you something?" Ranma asked. Soun turned around and looked at Ranma. There was something about the young man that was bothering him. He just couldn't place it though. Soun patted he spot next to him and Ranma sat down.
Ranma took the spot and sat down next to the older man. "What was Gen...I mean Pops was like in his younger days?" Ranma asked. Soun looked at Ranma, he did notice that slip up but he wasn't sure if he should bring it up. Soun had to think really hard on this and for some unknown reason, he didn't have an answer.
"I'm sorry, I seem to be getting old." Soun said as he looked at Ranma. "I don't remember." Ranma nodded his head. "I can tell you though that we first meet two years after Genma started with the Master." There was a shudder there, and it didn't come from Soun. Shaking his head Ranma was about to ask Soun if he wanted to spar when the front door was suddenly slammed open.
"How the fucking hell did you 'accidentally' blow up the Home Ec room..." Kasumi yelled at her little sister. "Again?" Akane looked down. She hated when her eldest sister yelled at her. "I don't know." Akane answered back. Kasumi sighed and rubbed her forehead. "You are damn lucky no one was injured." Ranma walked up to the eldest daughter and took her bag. "Thanks." Ranma nodded his head. Kasumi turned to Akane. "Go get washed up and meet me in the Dojo."
"Hai sensei." Akane said, giving Ranma a glare before running upstairs to change. "Sensei?" Ranma questioned. Kasumi turned to smile at Ranma before saying. "I've been training her since dad stopped practicing the art." Ranma nodded in understanding. "You look tired." Ranma said. "Why not rest up first before you train the brat?"
Kasumi smiled but shook her head. "Maybe later." Ranma shrugged his shoulders and followed Kasumi upstairs where he handed Kasumi her bag. "Mind if I watch?" Ranma asked. Kasumi had a thoughtful look. "No go ahead, maybe later we can have a sparring match." Ranma gave Kasumi a warm smile before he left her to change her clothing. What Ranma didn't see though was the middle daughter looking at the young man.
She didn't trust him, and she was going to find out what she can, before confronting him.
To Be Continued...
I'm not sure what to say with this one. I'm pretty much setting everything up still before any of the other characters show up. Well in the next chapter Ranma is faced with someone from his past, but why is his memories of him causing him to have really bad migraines? And why is Ranma dreaming of this person?
Stay turned as there is still more to come. I might also be working on the last chapter of the original just to say I finished it. Until them take care everyone and stay safe.
Kidan out.
