Seeing how this is a fanfic I can play God and make these people's attitudes

enjoy it.
Chapter 3
After being introduced to Yahiko and Sanosuke for the supposed first
time, Sano challenges Ranma to a fight. It seems that Sano and Ranma knew
each other in the past. Yahiko went back into the restaurant to warn Kenshin
that Sano and Ranma were going to fight. Ranma and Sano left the restaurant
with Akane in toe to begin their fight.
"Kenshin! Hey Kenshin!" Called Yahiko as he ran into the kitchen.
"Oro?" Responded Kenshin with a confused look on his face as he looked
up from chopping the vegetables. "What is it?" he asked as he promptly cut
himself with the knife. "OUCH!" he started hopping around and crying as he
shook his finger madly in the air while Yahiko just sweat-dropped.
"Um… are you done?"
Kenshin stops hopping and looks at Yahiko seriously. "Yes. What is it?"
"Sano challenged Ranma and they're going to fight outside."
"Oh, he challenged him already, that didn't take long." He said as he
went back to making lunch.
"You're not worried about Ranma?" asked Yahiko with confusion clearly
written on his face.
"No, I'm sure he won't Sano to badly." He said while never looking up
from his work. "You should watch the fight Yahiko, it's not everyday you get
to see Sano get beat up." with that he turned around to see Yahiko gone and
the door off it's grooves. He smiled to himself and went back to cooking.
Yahiko ran to the door leading to the outside with a smile on his face.
'I can't wait to see this.' He thought happily to himself.
Meanwhile…
Outside in the street outside the Akabeko Sano was standing across from
Ranma in a self made circle. Meaning that all the people in the area knew
that a fight was going to take place so they formed a circle around the two
combatants giving them a wide berth as to not get in their way. "Today's the
day you pay me back my money brat. I'm gonna kick yer ass!" with that said
he bent down and struck the ground with his "Futae no Kiwami". When
the dust cleared he looked down and saw a crater about two feet wide and his
fist in the middle. He took his fist and stroked his hair back. "I would
understand if you didn't want to face me, so if you get down on yer knees and
beg and pay me my money I won't beat you so badly." He said with a smirk on
his face looking smug with his eyes closed all the while thinking.
'OOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!! Damn my hands still a little broken. Oh well it was worth
since it had the effect I was going for. Kids probably pissing his pants.'
At that thought he looked up hoping to see terror on his opponents face. He
scowled, Ranma wasn't even fazed, and he didn't even look impressed.
"Ranma was that the Bakusai Tenketsu?" whispered Akane.
"No it was far more powerful." He responded to Akane still with no
expression on his face. "The Bakusai Tenketsu works on rocks and other
inanimate objects. That technique can actually hurt me. However the Bakusai
Tenketsu is a lot more intimidating if someone who doesn't know it sees it.
I think I'll scare him a little." He said with a smile.
Akane backed away the two combatants all the while thinking 'Those two
think the same way it's scary! Stupid arrogant macho jerks!'
"Hey Sano nice trick. Now it's my turn. Watch carefully." 'I knew that
Bakusai Tenketsu training would come in handy for me on this trip. Glad I
took the time to learn it.' With that said he took out his index finger and
touched the ground. The floor cracked and split at the spot where his finger
met the floor and continued towards Sano until it was directly under his feet
and the ground under him exploded upwards, barraging him with rock shrapnel.
Sano thought in alarm. 'It's way better than Anjis' technique.'
Ranma merely stood back and admired his handiwork while crossing his arms
against his chest as his aura of confidence began to grow to the surprise of
Sano and to the dismay of Akane.
'Great, just what the baka needs, a bigger ego!' she thought to herself.
"Well I'm waiting for that ass-kickin you promised me." Said Ranma still
smiling happily at Sano.
'That's right." Started Sano. "You don't scare me kid!" With that said
he launched into an attack pattern, which would have made a normal third dan
in kenpo quiver in fear. However, Ranma just weaved in and out of his
attacks while making snide remarks regarding his skills.
*PUNCH* "To slow!"
*KICK* "What are you trying to hit?"
*PUNCH* "Don't Overextend Yourself."
*BITCHSLAP* "Yeah, right! Try again."
'The Nerve of this brat.' Sano thought to himself angrily. 'Screw going easy
on him, I'm gonna give him the "Futae no Kiwami".' "Eat this jackass!" he
shouted as attacked with his best technique only to overextend his arm again
as Ranma hopped out of his way with ease.
'Oh well.' Thought Ranma to himself. 'I thought he would give me a better
fight than that but…' "Here I come!" he announced as he moved past Sano's arm
and attacked his now unprotected stomach. After a quick 40-hit attack that
happened in the space of a blink, Ranma decided to end the match with an
uppercut to the jaw, which caused Sano to spin around in the air twice only
to land unconscious. His last conscious thought being 'Fuck!' Ranma merely
turned his back on Sano's unconscious body and had a scowl on his face. "I
was expecting a better defense from him."
Around this time Yahiko was coming out of the Akabeko hoping to see Sano get
pounded but saw him already on the floor unconscious. "Damn!" He cried in
anger. "Kenshin was right and I missed the fight." He then began to sulk.
From the shadows of an alley on the other side of the street, a man put out
his cigarette as he observed the outcome of the fight. "That piece of shit
still hasn't made his defense any better." He said as he walked away
adjusting his police uniform. Fujito Goro had work to do after all.
Seeing his work done Ranma turns to Akane. "Now that that is settled let's
go get Kenshin." Ranma then turned around and started to walk back to the
Akabeko only to get stopped by…
"STOP RIGHT THERE!"
"What now…" started Ranma as he turned around only to get floored by a
mallet. "Ow! Akane why'd ya do that!" said Ranma in more annoyance than pain.
He had been acting extra careful and was doing his best not to put his foot
in his mouth lately so he could avoid the wrath of Akane and her mallet. He
couldn't figure why she hit him. When he turned to her to get his answer she
shrugged and said, "It wasn't me." She then pointed to a group of women who
were standing behind Ranma.
The woman who was responsible for the mallet to Ranma's noggin was staring at
the boy in shock for her mallet had no effect. 'What is he? Not even Kenshin
recovers that fast from that.' She thought.
Ranma turned around in order to get a glimpse of who attacked him in a most
uncute tomboyish fashion. He turned around to see seven women all looking at
him with shock. The one with the mallet was wearing a purple Kimono with her
black hair in a high ponytail, which came down to her shoulders. She looked
like she was in her early 20's. There was another woman about 30 years old
with a light blue kimono with long, straight black hair who was now tending
to Sano's injuries. He could have sworn that she was cursing him out under
her breath.
Behind them were two women in brown kimonos with white cloths on top of their
hair. One looked to be about 25 years old while the other looked to be
around Yahiko's age. He could tell that the younger one had a haircut like
Nabiki's and she had a scared look on her face while the older one had a look
that could freeze hell. The last three were wearing dark blue kimonos. Two
looked to be about 21 years old and the last one looked to be about 16 and
had her hair in a long pigtail. She was looking at Ranma like he was a piece
of meat and it was unnerving him. Pushing that line of though aside for the
moment he decided to ask the one with the mallet a question. "Why'd ya hit
me for? I didn't do nuthin to ya!" he said while rubbing the now forming
lump on his head.
The woman was still a little scared of him so she tightened her grip on her
mallet. Gathering up her courage she answered him with another question.
"Why did you beat up Sano?" 'Not that he doesn't deserve it.' She added as an
afterthought.
Ranma noticed the panicky look in her eyes and started getting nervous so he
tried to reply in a friendly manner. "That jerk had it coming!" And failed
miserably. He would have asked the question again when he was elbowed out of
the way by Akane.
"Baka!" she yelled at Ranma. She then turned to the woman. "I'm sorry for
this moron's rudeness to you, but your friend did challenge him and he had
been insulting him." She said trying to calm the woman down.
With that said, the woman turned to look at Sano's limp form and sighed
before turning back to Akane. "I know he can be very arrogant at times and I
apologize for that but that's no reason to go after Kenshin." She said
re-brandishing her mallet.
"That won't be needed Kaoru-dono." Said someone from the entranceway of the
Akabeko. "They were just coming to get me so they could have lunch."
"Kenshin?" the woman named Kaoru responded but still keeping her distance
from the two teens. "How do you know these two?"
"I don't really. They came here looking for you to be your new students.
Aren't you happy." Kenshin answered with a smile.
As he said this Akane stepped forward and bowed. "I am Tendo Akane of the
Tendo School of Anything Goes Martial Arts. I would like to be your
student." And with that said Kaoru promptly fainted.
END CHAPTER 3
As for why Kaoru hit Ranma instead of listening to him first, well if people
find her a little OOC consider this. Whenever any new fighter comes around
that's good they are always causing trouble for Kenshin. So I had her take a
little initiative.
