Chapter Two
The Technique of the Silver dragon
The next day, Ranma was walking way behind Akane on the way home because he was thinking about the new girl Seivkoli Takanisha. All of a sudden he heard Akane scream. He immediately ran to her. She stood there, frozen like a deer in front of headlights, trembling, her eyes widened in fear. Ranma was surprised to see Akane-tomboy Akane-in this condition. Then he looked at the thing in front of her, and froze. His eyes also widened, though more in amazement at its huge, vibratingly evil black aura then in fear. Then he thought He flew towards it, and then, reaching it…" BAKUSAI TENKETSU! " Ranma felt his finger crunch. His body stiffened up as his finger touched the Seivkonlin. Even touching it with just a finger, his whole body went rigid and he clenched his teeth, trying to bare the immense pain and not black out-or die. Then he took a few steps back, barely making it, and tried doing the Moko Takabisha. But before he could even take his next breath, the creature moved forward in a flurry of moves, and began punching him and kicking him faster then Ranma had ever seen anyone-even himself, Happosai, Cologne, hose, or anyone else-move. And since each kick and punch was fast, and plus he was weak, there was no way of stopping it. And each blow was a thousand times stronger then Ryoga's-since Ryoga was quite strong, punches & kicks a thousand times stronger then his punches and kicks is saying a lot. Then, all of a sudden, the Seivkonlin bent down towards Ranma's face. Ranma's vision was blurred, but then he blinked and could see sortof clear for a matter of seconds. There was a face in there. A masked face. All Ranma could see of its masked face were its blood-red pupil-less eyes and lips. Then, to Ranma's utter confusion and surprise, the Seivkonlin bent down, and kissed him on the cheek! Then it got off of him swiftly, and, in a swirl of black cloak, it disappeared. Before it left, Ranma could hear a voice-the Seivkonlin's voice-in his mind. It whispered, " Goodbye until next time, Ranma Saotome. I look forward to our next meeting ". Ranma then heard Akane stirring from her faint. But before she reached him, the fallen pig-tailed martial-artist's world went black.

Ranma awoke to find himself laying on a bed in Dr. Tofu's office. He tried opening his eyes, but it hurt. Then as he heard Akane's voice, he forced himself to open his eyes. She yelled, " oh! Ranma! Your awake I'm so glad and-" she looked down at her feet, embarrassed. Ranma tried sitting up. It was all he could do to stop himself from screaming aloud in pain. But, instead of flopping back down, he somehow made himself sit up. Then he slid down off the bed, trying to stand up. His legs crumpled underneath him. Akane helped him back onto the bed, saying sadly, " Oh Ranma! It's so horrible seeing you so helpless! " Ranma glared at Akane. He said, " stupid tomboy! I-I ran there as soon as I heard you scream, I did it for you Akane! I was worried because l Io- mean, oops, umm, er. Forget I said that…". It was too late. Akane looked at him, her face became surprised, and then she smiled. He couldn't help but smile back. She said, " you did it for me? Not just because you wanted to fight something? I mean well, Ranma that's so nice of you to say that…" Ranma blushed as Akane looked at him with a happy loving face. Ranma felt his stomach flip. He felt himself go red. He said, " no really. It was nothing. Even if it wasn't you ya know, I mean if anyone had screamed, I would've come running…". Akane frowned, then said, " well fine then! I'm leaving. But even though that was nasty to say, hope you get better soon…so that I can mallet you again! " A week later, Ranma and Akane had gotten acquainted with Lokoli Takanisha. Lokoli was walking to a town nearby Nerima one day, with her suitcase dragging behind her-she had been left the hotel she was in cause there were reports of a thief being nearby. She suddenly saw a little wrinkled man running away from a pack of angry girls. Then they all pounced on him and Lokoli couldn't see what was happening through all the smoke and dirt flying. The girls then all left. Lokoli stood there, looking at a map. She was staying in a hotel in a town a few miles away from Nerima and didn't now her away around. Happosai looked up. His eyes immediately got teary and widened in pleasure. He smiled. He edged a bit forward. Lokoli was wearing the same thing she had worn on her first day to school: High heeled boots, skimpy tank top, and mini-skirt. After scooting up, Happosai found himself underneath Lokoli's skirt. He smiled. But before he could get her off of her and run away, Lokoli took a step forward, and then walked away, not even noticing Happosai. All of a sudden, Lokoli tripped on a stone in the street-her high-heeled boot's fault- and fell, her suitcase flying open. Happosai grinned, and he peeked into her suitcase. Soon he found a few nice silk , and stuck them in his extra bag. Then he gasped in pleasure as he found an extra skimpy bra, he took it also. Then he quickly jumped away as Lokoli got up and closed her suitcase. When she got to the hotel door, she went and sat in an alley by the hotel. There were no windows into the alley. All of a sudden, the same wrinkled old man she'd seen being beaten up by those girls popped up in front of her. He was so low down though, that all he could see was underneath her mini. She said, " hey little man. A bit down there isn't you? Here, lemme give ya a boost up to the fence ". She picked him up and put him on the fence. His head was now level with her bosom. He looked up into her beautiful face, then he looked down. He looked all the way down her body, smiling at her slenderness. He thought His eyes jerked up to stare at her full bosom. He thought . He said, " miss? Could you take me up to your hotel room? I'd like to know you as a friend and we can have us a nice cup of tea in your hotel room perhaps? " The girl did a curious funny look at him and then nodded a bit hesitantly. Happosai soon found himself up in room with the girl-whom he soon found out was named Lokoli-he made sure to lock the door, so that no one out could come in, AND so that no one in could go out (though the building was 10 storied and they were on the 7 floor, Happosai wasn't afraid to jump out the window). He pretended to be interested in watching TV and sipping tea as the girl lay down flat on her back. She soon fell asleep. Happosai immediately took the chance and pounced upon her bosom. He stuck his face in-between her breasts, and squeezed her bosom in a loving hug. Then he took a few pictures of the girl. Lokoli was a VERY VERY deep sleeper (plus Happosai had put some sleeping powder in her tea). He somehow managed to pull off her shirt, boots, and skirt. Then he took some pictures of her lying there in just her bra and undies. Then he snuggled up really close to her bosom and fell asleep. The next morning, Happosai awoke to find himself whacked to the floor of Lokoli's hotel room. But after inspection, he found that the girl had just accidentally whacked him off in her sleep. The girl awoke, and walked to the bathroom to tae a shower. After a few minutes, once Happosai was sure the water was running, he ran into the bathroom and ripped off the Shower curtain. He took a picture of Lokoli, stark , her eyes widened in surprise. Then he clicked his Polaroid a few more million times. Then he pounced on the girl's bosom-as she stood there stunned, still stark -and squeezed her bosom really tightly again and again, weeping loudly.
BAM!
WHACK!
BANG!
Happosai found himself lying outside flat on the pavement. He looked up to see Lokoli hanging out the window, a towel wrapped around her. She stood shaking her fists in the air as her face became purple in anger. She yelled, " GET AWAY FROM ME YOU LECHEROUS ! DON'T LET ME EVER SEE YOU AGAIN! DON'T EVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN! I HATE YOU! IF I SEE YOU EVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE,THEN I'LL KILL YOU! TRUST ME,I WILL KILL YOU! HEAR ME? " Lokoli slammed the window shut, breaking the glass by accident. Happosai climbed up the building and through the window. He found Lokoli sitting there, her towel not around her now, weeping. He said, " oh it's ok. Don't cry don't cry-". She turned around, quickly wrapped her towel around her, and then smacked him in the face. She said, " before I beat you to death and throw you out the window, lemme tell you something! "….

Ranma was just beginning to fall asleep comfortably on his futon-after a tiring time of running away from Akane and her mallet but getting pounded in the end-, when all of a sudden…" OH HOHOHO! Pleasure to see you, Ranma darling! " Ranma groaned, thinking, He wasn't surprised to look up to see Kodachi graceful form standing in front of him. She lunged forward with her eyes closed and her arms outstretched, crying dramatically " Oh Ranma-sama! Come and let us embrace eachother lovingly and then you can give me oh-so-many passionate kisses! " Before Kodachi knew what was happening however, she was knocked unconscious and tied up with her very own ribbon. Then, since Ranma was already awake, he decided to go over to Ucchan's for some midnight okonomiyaki.

Ukyou awoke to the sound of the voice of her beloved calling her name. She sat up with a excited jolt, and then stood up, running to the doorway. Standing outside the door was the person she loved most. She opened the door with what she hoped was a more-then-friendly not-so-sleepy smile, exclaiming gleefully " Ran-chan! Nice to see you here! Come for some midnight okonomiyaki, sugar? " " Exactly " said Ranma, smiling as he walked through the doorway and then sat down as Ukyou prepared the ingredients and put on her apron, saying, " so, Ran-chan, when's the duel between you and that girl gonna be? " " Dunno. Hopefully never ". " Yeah Sugar, I know what you mean, it's not like you want ANOTHER fiancé ". Ukyou smiled as she said sweetly to Ranma " Here's your okonomiyaki! ^_^ " Ranma's mouth watered as Ukyou handed him the plate piled with steaming hot yummy-looking okonomiyaki. Soon nothing was left of the okonomiyaki but a few crumbs. Ukyou looked surprised as she saw the doorway open to reveal yet another one-no two! -Customers. She saw none other but the Shakespeare fanatic, poetry-spouting Tatewake Kuno, trailed along by a weary looking Happosai. She yelled, " KUNO! GET THAT OUTTA HERE! " Kuno replied calmly " Oh delicate flower, I was trying to stop this wrinkled old innocent man- Thought Ranma and Ukyou-when he mentioned a beautiful young rose, whom at first I thought must be either the beautiful Akane Tendo or my beloved fiery Pig-tailed Goddess (Ranma squirmed in his seat, remembering his last bad dream about Kuno-his dream had been even worse then the real encounter). But then he said that no, the girl had dark hair. I figured it had been Akane Tendo, searching for me desperately with her heart wrenching in pain and anguish for my company. Now I will first have a bite to eat to strengthen myself, then I will go to the Tendo dojo to check and see if Akane is back from her midnight searching's for me, and then, in the romantic setting of moonlight, I will take her in my arms, and-" . Ranma was about to send a mighty kick to make Kuno ride into orbit, when all of a sudden * Splash! * Kuno found none other then his beloved Pig-tailed Goddess standing before him. Kuno cried, " Oh! My Pig-tailed Go-" * fwump* Kuno was silenced by a foot in the mouth from Ranma-chan. Ranma-chan growled, " Don't even try getting up, Buster! " * kachunk* she made sure he wouldn't get up by knocking him out with a kick to the head. * Kablam! * Kuno was sent into orbit-for the fiftieth time in his life-by Ranma-chan. Happosai immediately pounced, as soon as Ranma-chan turned towards him. * Bang crash crunch zip kachunk kablam! * Happosai dodged around over and under Ranma-chan as she tried to hit him. Happosai laughed, saying, " this is way easier then when I fought the Seivkonlin! " Pause. Silence. " Whaddija say? The Seivkonlin? " Ranma-chan held up the little wrinkled lecher at an arms length away-so he couldn't glomp onto her-and said, " YOU! You were the one that beat the Seivkonlin all those years ago! Tell me how to beat it! Tell me! Nerima and all the rest of Japan will be destroyed if you don't! " Happosai just jumped out of Ranma-chan's grasp, saying laughingly, " well Ranma! The only way you could possibly beat that evil creature is by learning the Technique of the Silver dragon! And especially after what I did last night, the Seivkonlin will want to murder you for Revenge, especially since it knows that you're my student! Hee hee! Bye! " Happosai then disappeared into the night.

The next day, on the way home from school, Ranma explained the basics of what happened the precious night (well, he actually said that he'd went on a midnight walk and then went to Ucchan's and then from there he told the truth). Akane said, " so…the Technique of the Silver dragon, sounds cool! But, what did the old lecher mean by 'especially after what I did last night' ? Weird. Well, who're you gonna learn the Technique from? Who is that knows tons of awesome fighting techniques and can teach the Technique of the Silver dragon to you? " Both paused for a minute, thinking. Then, they both automatically came up with the same answer. " Cologne ".

" Oh Airen! You here with Violent-tomboy girl! Come for some yummy Ramen noodles? Come in Airen, you eat then we go on date. Forget about Violent-tomboy-girl and Spatula-girl they nothing but ugly weaklings compared to Shampoo ". " Sorry Shampoo, but we came to talk to Cologne ". " You come talk to Great-grandmother? I call her now for you. Great-grandmother! Airen and Violent-tomboy-girl here to see you! " Cologne came along soon, hopping on her staff agile as a cat-oops, did I say cat? Heh heh, wrong animal to pick there eh? Sorry, I meant um, uh, well, anyway, she hopped along agile-ish. Cologne came up to them, saying, " Ah. Son-in-law, Akane Tendo. Come to learn a new Technique? " Akane nodded. Ranma smiled, saying quietly, " Exactly. So you'd better tell us bout it right now and then teach me the technique. And I mean right now Old Ghoul, no delays ". " Well, you seem quite serious about it " the old woman said as she brought them to the backroom of the Nekohanten Café. " Yeah, sure am ". " Well Son-in-law, what technique would it happen to be? " " The Technique of the Silver dragon ". Cologne's eyes widened, and she fainted, and fell off her staff onto the floor. Shampoo ran over to her Great-grandmother, crying, " Great-grandmother! Violent-tomboy-girl! What you do to Great Grandmother?! " " I did do anything to your old granny Shampoo! We just told her what technique Ranma wanted to learn! " " Airen wants learn new Technique? Shampoo though Airen now all good technique. Which technique you want learn now? " Shampoo asked Ranma s she rubbed up against him, purring. Ranma shivered as he heard Shampoo's purring. He edged away from her, saying quietly in an exasperated tone " Golly, I don't now why the Old Ghoul fainted like that, all I said was that I wanted to learn the Technique of the Silver dragon! " Shampoo's eyes widened, and her whole body trembled as she stared at Ranma, leaning unknowingly on the joy-filled Mousse (he was so happy to actually have a chance to even touch Shampoo) for support. She said in a quavering voice, " Airen want learn Technique of Silver dragon? Why? Silver dragon Technique too dangerous! No no! Why? Why Airen wants learn Silver dragon Technique? WHY? " Akane stepped forward angrily, saying, " Because Shampoo! He wants to beat the Seivkonlin! That's why! " Ranma looked closely at Akane's face, as her face turned purple with anger at the Amazon girl. Ranma said, " Gosh Akane. I don't see why you're so angry at Shampoo, I mean, all she did was as why a few times. At least Shampoo still looks cute when she's angry ". " RRAAANNMAAAAA! " * BLAM* Shampoo gasped as she saw Ranma, smuished flat into the ground. She took a deep breath, saying " STUPID VIOLENT-TOMBOY-GIRL! WHY YOU ALWAYS BANG AIREN SMUISH-FLAT ONTO GROUND? Why? Shampoo angry at you for smuish-flatting Airen into ground so much! All Airen say is truth that Shampoo much cuter then Violent-tomboy-girl! " The fight was paused for a second as Ukyou came, saying, " Shampoo, I hate to do this, but I was wondering if I could borrow some flour for making some okonomiyaki…" her sentence hung in mid-air as she saw Akane and Shampoo, posed for fighting. She said, " guys, what's up with you two now? What're you fighting over now? " Shampoo replied curtly " stupid Akane bang Ranma smuish-flat into ground again, when all Ranma was saying was that Shampoo much prettier then all his other so-called fiancé's ". Shampoo stuck her tongue out at Ukyou happily, saying, " Ranma thin Spatula-girl ugliest of all! " Ukyou stood there, her hands already grasping her spatula in readiness. Then, as her eyes turned red in anger, with a quick move she took out her spatula, and then * BLAM! * Shampoo lay flat on the ground next to Ranma. Ukyou walked over Shampoo's smuished body, and then peeled Ranma off the floor, saying, " Poor Ran-chan. Always getting beaten and fought over. Let's wake him up and then we can all talk to Cologne about whatever you two came for ". Ukyou banged Ranma on the head a few times with her normal-sized spatula, and then blew a bit of okonomiyaki-powder (stolen from Shampoo's café) and then he woke up. Ukyou gently tapped him on the head a few more times with her normal-sized spatula, and then smiled as he opened his eyes. Akane peeled Cologne off the floor and they woke her up too. Ranma then got back to normal. Cologne's eyes snapped open as the three teenage martial-artists said threateningly, " Tell us about the Silver-dragon technique, then teach it to Ranma ". Cologne said," sorry children, but that Technique is not for youngsters like you ". Then with one sweep of her staff, she knocked them to the floor unconscious, and ordered Mousse to take them all home.

Ranma said. " ok Shampoo. You read the note I gave to you right? I told you to meet me here at the park. I want to make a deal with you. You tell me all that you know about the Silver-dragon Technique, and I'll um, er, I'll uuh-" " marry Shampoo? " " No no no! Nothing like that, I'll uh…" " kiss Shampoo long-long kiss on mouth? " Ranma squirmed uncomfortably, and then said, " er well, I-I guess so. Just uh, remember you're part of the deal and then–" he was cut off as Shampoo closed her eyes and pulled Ranma's face so that it was an inch away from hers. She said, " Now Ranma kiss Shampoo? " Ranma rolled his eyes, took a deep breath, counted to three, and then kissed Shampoo on the lips. Ranma's eyes snapped opened and he pushed Shampoo gently away as her heard a familiar voice say, " What're you doing kissing Shampoo? " He turned to his left to see a red-faced Akane standing there. He groaned, and started running. " RRAAANNMAAA!!! " He thought, " hmm, I actually sortof liked that kiss. At least Shampoo's a lot cuter then Aka-" * BANG * He was catapulted to the right as Kodachi banged into him from his left. She said, " Ranma-sama? Last night I was knocked out cuz of those passionate oh-so-many kisses you gave me! Can you do it again? " Ranma groaned, thinking, " uh-oh. Shoulda known. She always mistakes me knocking her out for her fainting cuz me 'oh-so-many-times passionately kissing' her. Ugh . He pushed Kodachi off. Then " hello Ran-chan! Want some Okonomiyaki? " " NOT NOW UCCHAN! " Ranma ran speedily past her as he tried to escape the trail he new was being formed behind him: Akane, Ukyou, Kodachi, and Shampoo ( his 4 fiancé's) were chasing after him, Happosai the was running away from angry girls with his usual loot of undies and , while running after Ranma's 4 fiancé's at the same time, and Mousse was running after Shampoo, crying out her name. Ranma thought, " DIE RANMA! " Ranma just barely dodged the red umbrella as Ryoga appeared out of some bushes to his left. Then Ranma heard a familiar cry of " change my name you evil lecherous old man! " as he realized that hose Taro must've caught up with Happosai and was again trying to get the old perv to change his name. Then Ranma all of a sudden fell into a deep pit, full of road-construction men. Somehow, all his pursuers didn't see him and jumped over the hole and kept on running after him though he wasn't there anymore. As Shampoo jumped over the hole, Ranma grabbed a piece of paper poking out from her pocket. Luckily, the scroll WASN'T in Chinese, so he could read it! He grinned and then ran to his favorite spot at the Tendo dojo-the rooftop.

That night Ranma didn't get any sleep,
due to studying the ancient scroll which told of the Silver dragon Technique. Once he thought he heard sounds of footsteps up on the roof above, but just ignored it and thought of it as an animal. He didn't now that the very creature he was trying to learn to beat was right above his head. He didn't know that the Seivkonlin smiled to itself, thinking, .
