Part 2

"What?! I've gotta go to SCHOOL?!"

"Of course, son! We're going to be staying here for a while, after all."

"It's the same school me and Akane go to! We'll see you there!" Nabiki put in cheerfully.

"Nabiki, I'll go with you!" Akane called, hurrying to catch up with her sister.

"What're you talking about? Ranma is your fiancé, remember? You should walk him to school!"

Ranma and Akane glared at each other, then set off for school without a sound.

"We're not going to get married, you know," Akane stated, breaking the silence.

"You're telling me?" Ranma replied from the fence he was walking on. "Besides, I can't stand macho chicks like YOU!" At this remark, Genma dashed along the fence and smacked Ranma over the head.

"Pop! What're you-"

"You're in no position to be choosy about women, Ranma. I'll tell you this once and only once-"

Ranma tripped his father, sending him into the river on the other side of the fence. "What's wrong, Pop? Weren't you going to say something?" he called, grinning.

Genma the panda glared at his son and leapt out of the water. Akane was able to dodge, but the panda punched Ranma, who flipped through the air and landed perfectly on the ground.

"Ha! Check this out!" he taunted his father. He would have said more if not for…

SPLOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHH!

"Huh. Where'd she come from?" wondered Akane.

"KWEEEEEEEE!" said an angry little piglet from the ground beside her. Akane stepped on him to keep him from attacking the defenseless old lady.

"Come on, we've got to get to school," Akane told Ranma, snickering at his anger. She picked him up, along with his clothes and backpack. "Hmmm… I think I should give you a name so that I'll have something to say if someone asks. How about P-chan?"

"KWEEEEEE! KWI KWI KWEEEE!" "P-chan" responded, shaking his head furiously.

"Glad you like it, P-chan!"

"KWEE!"

"That's funny… Greenland sure looks like Nerima… They even have a sign that says 'Welcome to Nerima' written in Japanese! What strange people…" Ryoga said aloud, much to the amusement of the Nerimans watching him. "Heh… And this looks just like that empty lot I was supposed to meet Ranma in!" He walked on for a few more minutes, then paused. As Ryoga glanced at a nearby plant and wondered at how much it looked like Nerima's native plant life, he failed to notice a large panda hit a boy with a pigtail and the boy flip, land, and become a pig. When he looked up, all he saw was a girl with long, dark blue hair in a blue dress carrying a black piglet.

"Hmmm, I wonder if I should tell her that if she keeps going in that direction, she'll fall into the Atlantic Ocean?" He hurried to catch up with her, only to be splashed by the same old woman. Ryoga grumbled as she tried to continue following the girl. "Hey, Miss! Huh?" She was gone. 'Oh, no! If she drowns or something, it's my responsibility! I should've told her! I've gotta find her!' Ryoga hurried in the direction the girl had gone… Unless, of course, she went the other way… Or she could have gone that way… Ryoga stopped in confusion, then picked a direction and set off.

Meanwhile, Akane listened carefully as she dashed towards the school. She could vaguely hear the muttering of a crowd. 'Oh, great. Will those idiots ever give up?' Akane wondered to herself. She sighed, dropped her and Ranma's stuff as well as the black piglet and assumed a battle stance. There was a moment of silence, then the group of boys began their daily futile attack, shouting puns about how love related to their sport of choice in an attempt to impress Akane with their wit, if not their strength. This was just as futile as challenging Akane every day. She knocked them all out in approximately six point eight seconds. Of course, her record was four point three, but that was when she didn't have anything important on her mind.

"Why can't they leave me alone for once?" Akane asked to nobody in particular. Then, as always, Kuno appeared.

"Truly a boorish lot. Evidently each of them intends to ask you out… on the dawn that he finally defeats you," Kuno said, smirking.

"Oh, upperclassman. Good morning," said Akane, unimpressed.

'How odd, it would seem to the casual observer that she is not overjoyed to see me. How good she is at containing her feelings and remaining calm!' Kuno had just thrown his customary rose to Akane when suddenly…

"Hey, Miss! Be careful! You- Huh?" Ryoga caught the rose. Kuno just stood and stared, as did the little black piglet who had been sitting next to the wall, watching the whole event.

"My goddess! Oh, the heavens have smiled upon me this day!" Kuno cried as he glomped Ryoga.

"Wha?!" Ryoga responded intelligently.

"Oh, so shy! Is it because of the wonderful prospect of going out with the great Tatewaki Kuno? Or could it be that thou art so generous, thou fearest thou will hurt others by keeping me for yourself?"

"Umm, not really-" Ryoga responded, attempting to break loose of Kuno's death grip. Suddenly, the school bell rang.

"Sadly, thou must wait until after school is over for our date-"

"What date?!" Ryoga demanded.

"-For Akane Tendo and I are late!" He glanced around the courtyard. "Umm, Akane Tendo? Hmm, she must have continued to class. Such a noble pursuit of knowledge!" Kuno wandered into the school, pondering his delusions.

"Hey, you!" Akane called out to Ryoga from behind a tree.

"Huh?" said Ryoga, who was still confused over the events of the past few minutes.

"Thanks for getting Kuno off my case. Are you okay? He tends to hug pretty hard. Just ignore him. He's been following me for months now! So, are you a new student?"

"Um-"

"Come on, I'll show you to the office."

As soon as Akane had safely deposited Ryoga in the principal's office, she hurried to her classroom. "See you at lunch!" she called to Ryoga. "Oh, that's right. What happened to Ranma?" she muttered to herself.

A small black piglet stood in a sink in the boys' bathroom, struggling with the hot water faucet. How could Akane just leave him there? 'Oh, well. No time for sulking,' he thought as he finally got the knob to turn and the water hot. As soon as he changed back to human, he pulled on his clothes and walked to the principal's office, so he could get his schedule.

He opened the door and almost ran into the red-haired girl. They stared at each other for a moment.

'I can't put my finger on it, but she reminds me of someone…' thought Ranma.

'Heh, he looks almost like Ranma. I'll have to ask him if they're related later.'

"Hello. You two are here for your schedules?" The two nodded. "Okay, what are your names?"

"Ryoga Hibiki."

"Ranma Saotome."

Once again, the two stared at each other.

"Huh. I once knew a guy that had the same name as you."

"Ranma…" Ryoga growled, a murderous look in her eyes.

"Ryoga? Did you have some kind of operation you didn't tell me about?"

"DIE!"

"Hey, no fighting in the-" Two pairs of eyes glared back at him. "Never mind! Carry on!"

Ranma smirked. "He's right. We should go to class now. Which room are you in? I'm in 1-F."

"1-F," Ryoga responded, battle aura dying down. "Wait, I have to get some hot water first." She headed towards the boys' room.

"Wha?!" said Ranma. Hot water… That could only mean…

"Hello, Ranma," said a once again male Ryoga.

"So it is you!"

"Yes, Ranma. The same Ryoga Hibiki whose lunch you stole countless times in middle school, who challenged you to a duel that YOU didn't show up for, and whose life you have effectively RUINED. I followed you, after you ran away. I followed you all the way to Jusenkyo. Now I'm a FREAK, all because of you. Ranma, I've seen Hell because of you!" With that, Ryoga launched another attack, which Ranma easily dodged. "I followed you to Jusenkyo. I was looking for you, when I got knocked into the air by a panda! Of course, I could have landed safely. I almost did. Then I tripped over a stupid PIG and fell into the Spring of the Drowned Girl!"

"Heh. You act like I tossed you into the spring. Why not swear revenge against all pandas and pigs or some-"

At this point, a student turned the knob on a nearby water fountain, missing the "Out of Order" sign taped to it. Cold water gushed out of the pipe, dousing both Ranma and Ryoga.

Ryoga looked at Ranma. She blinked. This pig looked strangely like the one that-

"Ranma! It IS your fault! You're the one that tripped me!"

Ranma returned from the bathroom, human and fully clothed. "No way! What about the panda?"

At this moment, a panda appeared, jogging past the entrance to the school. It passed by, then stepped back a bit and held up a sign that said, "How's school, Ranma?" Then, as if it had never been there, the panda was gone.

"You were saying?" Ryoga smirked as she readied her razor belt.

"Come on, let's get to class! Nope, mustn't miss more school! Lots to learn!" Ranma said nervously as he dashed up the stairs to the third floor.

"GET BACK HERE!" Ryoga roared, but it was too late. She sighed and headed for the staircase, missing it completely and heading for the gym.
