Chapter 5
Tatewaki Kuno sits in his room facing the wall size pictures of Akane and girl-type Ranma. In his hands, is the school paper. "Why does thy foul demon Satome print such lies in such a respectable school paper? Does that sorcerer believe that I, Tatewaki Kuno, would fall for his evil trickery? He will feel the wrath of the Blue Thunder tonight."
Just then, Kodachi walks in. "Ohohohoho! What do we have here?" She snatches the paper from her brother's hands; her smile quickly disappears and is replaced with anger. "Who wrote this? I bet it was that Tendo peasant to try to keep me away from Ranma-samma. Not only does the wrench claim that I'm insane, but she dares say that Ranma does not like me! She shall pay for such lies."
Kuno snatches the paper back, "I will not let you, sister, bring harm to the fair Akane Tendo."
"Ohohohoho! Brother, I wouldn't dream of harming her." Only killing her.
Ryoga Hibiki sat by an open campfire in the middle of the woods. Ryoga, of course, assumes that he is in the woods outside of Nerima. Little does he know, that he is actually in the woods outside of Jusenkyo. How did he get here? Come on, this is Ryoga here. He is the only being on Earth that could walk through a closet door in the Tendo dojo and end up in the oval office. Governments have tried to study blood samples to see how he does it, but the samples even end up being lost.
"Ranma!!! How could you? You swore that you wouldn't tell Akane my secrete. But in the end, you not only told her my secrete, you told the world. I swear, that I will not rest until the world sees you for the honor less bastard that you are." Laughing to himself, "And when I finally kill you with my two bare hands, Akane will finally be mine. And the world will spit on your grave."
After quickly putting out the campfire, Ryoga takes off running to give Ranma his "punishment." Little does he know, that is he ran in the other direction, he would of fell right into Nanniichuan. But, then again, this is Ryoga.
Shampoo no believe Ranma no love me. Violent Pervert Girl must of hit Ranma too many times on head. Shampoo kill Akane, then Ranma love Shampoo.
"Shampoo!" yelled Cologne. Sometimes Shampoo can be a real airhead.
"Yes great grandmother."
Cologne throws several boxes of ramen at Shampoo, which she easily catches. "Take this order of ramen to the Tendos."
"Aiya! Shampoo take to Ranma right away!" While there, Shampoo kill kitchen destroyer. Shampoo runs out the door, before anyone can say another word.
Cologne watches Shampoo leave, shaking her head. "Moose, follow her and make sure she doesn't do anything stupid."
Without saying a word, Moose bolts out of the Nekohanten after Shampoo. Finally Ranma, I will kill you tonight and then Shampoo will be mine.
Author's Note: This many people heading to the dojo on a vendetta against either Ranma or Akane is a dangerous mix. To tell the truth, it's an insurance company's nightmare. Please note, that as the citizens on Nerima see all the people head for the Tendo dojo and immediately check their insurance policies before heading to their bomb shelter. Outside the city limits, the National Guard prepares to do cleanup duty again after Nerima has been declared another natural disaster.
Only in Nerima, does property values drop 99% whenever someone screams "DIE RANMA!" or "RANMA NO BAKA!" But on the bright side, if you're a construction worker in Nerima, then you have tons of job security. No wonder Nabiki owns 3 of the 7 construction firms in town and the Kunos own the other 4.
Akane sat in the dojo, breathing heavily after an intense workout. Just as she thought that things around her house have got weird today, things got worse. Coming out of her room to head to the dojo, she was stopped by Kasumi who informed her that the dinning room was off limits. Looking behind he older sister, she noticed that the inside doors that were never closed, were. Even the outside doors were closed, with only whispers coming from behind them.
I wonder what's going on. Neither Kasumi nor Nabiki will tell me, but they seem to know something. I bet it has something to do with Ranma. They're probably all making fun of me for not knowing that Ryoga is P-chan.
Just then, the outside door opened just enough to let Ranma out. As soon as Ranma is out side, he quickly closes the door and leaps to the roof. The look of death is on Ranma's face. Akane stands up and heads to go get the ladder to join him on the roof.
Ranma sat on the roof staring off into space. In his mind, he replayed the discussion with his mother. Ranma was jolted out of his thoughts when he heard light footsteps behind him. Must be Akane.
"Ranma?"
Ranma didn't even look back at her. He just patted the spot next to him, offering Akane a seat. As soon as Akane sat down, "My mom is here. She found out about the curse." Ranma's voice sounded as if he has been defeated.
"H..how did she find out?" Fear managed to creep into her voice.
"Someone sent her a book about Jusenkyo with mine and pops curses highlighted. They also had a note on the book that said, 'This is the reason you haven't seen your husband and son.'" He looked over at Akane, his eyes no longer shining with life. "She caught me and pop and poured water on us to prove it."
Gasping, "She's not going to make you commit seppiku, is she?"
Looking down at the ground, "I don't know. She made me tell her about my life up to today, and she said she'd talk to you, your dad, and your sisters before she decides. She already said that she won't listen to pop."
She felt her heart ache to want to comfort him. "Ranma..I.."
Akane was quickly interrupted when Ranma grabbed her and jumped to the side. She was going to yell at Ranma when she saw Shampoo standing where they were.
"Niaho Ranma. Shampoo bring tasty ramen or Airen."
Ranma doesn't even look at Shampoo. "How hard is it to get in your head that I don't want to marry you? I'll never marry you!"
"Shampoo and Ranma already married. Is Amazon law." Shampoo then looks over at Akane. "If Ranma no come back with Shampoo, Shampoo kill pervert girl."
Before anyone could respond to that, from Ranma's other 3 sides came Kuno, Moose, and Ryoga. All of the shouting "DIE RANMA!!" (Just then, real estate values in Nerima dropped into the negatives.)
Ranma dodges their attacks. "What did I do now?"
"You broke your word of honor and told Akane my secrete." Shouted Ryoga as he swung his umbrella at Ranma's head.
"Thy foul demon has printed lies about the fair Akane Tendo and the Pigtail Girl." Cried Kuno as he swung his bokken at Ranma's midsection.
"You have insulted Shampoo." Announced Moose as he tried to entangle Ranma in his chains.
As the boys fight, Shampoo sees this as her opportunity. "Shampoo kill Akane, then Ranma marry Shampoo."
Akane gets into her battle stance. "You're welcome to try, you chinese bimbo!" As Akane leaps to attack, she is ensnared by a ribbon and pulled back down to her feet.
"Ohohohohohoho!! Not so fast you miserable peasant. Tonight I will free my precious Ranma-sama from your vile clutches."
Shampoo gets a murderous smirk on her face. "For once, Shampoo and crazy girl agree. Akane die." Shampoo runs towards Akane, ready to bash in Akane's head with her bonbori.
At the last second, Akane dropped to a knee and did a leg sweep causing Shampoo to miss her target entirely and go crashing through the roof. Akane then used the ribbon to throw Kodachi forward onto her back.
The next thing Akane knew, she was in Ranma's arms being carried away from the scene. "RANMA! What are you doing?"
Roof hopping, "Akane, if they're going to fight us then we need more room. Besides, I think Nabiki is tired of having to fix the place."
Nodoka came outside just in time to see Ranma and Akane hoping from rooftop to rooftop, being pursued by five figures shouting "RANMA!!", "Shampoo kill Akane!", and "Ohohohohoho!"
Nodoka turns to face her panda husband. "Why do I have the feeling that some of this is your fault, husband?"
Genma quickly pulls out a sign, (Who me? I'm just an innocent panda here.)
"I hope so, for your sake. Anyways, we should go and make sure none of them get hurt."
"Why's that?" asked Soun.
After receiving a dirty look from Nodoka, Genma quickly held up another sign. (Come Tendo, I know you don't have enough of a death wish to disobey her.)
"You're right Satome." Responded Soun.
As the three left, Kasumi was already on the phone warning Dr. Tofu about the incoming patients he'll be having while Nabiki was estimating how much it'll cost to repair the damage.
Ranma touched down in the street in front of Furinkan High. He was a good two-minute ahead of the rest, and had time to find a safe spot of Akane. "Akane, make a run for the school. I'll hold them off."
"RANMA! I'm a martial artist too." How dare he say I can't fight!
"Akane, they're really out to kill us. You might be able to handle Kodachi but you know you can't beat Shampoo even on your best day, and you definitely can't beat them when they're working together."
Before Akane could respond, a flying bandanna flew in between Ranma and Akane. "RANMA! You are truly scum! How DARE you break your word of honor! You promised to keep my curse secrete from Akane! DIE YOU DISHONORABLE BASTARD!"
"Look who's calling who dishonorable, P-CHAN!!" shouted Akane.
Ryoga stopped in mid-step. I'm dishonorable? I'm dishonorable? How could that be? Ranma was the one who broke his word. Ranma was the one that ran from fights. Ranma was the one that always cheated to win.
As Ryoga stood frozen as a statue, Akane and Ranma jumped out of the way of chains and ribbons. Moose and Kuno went back to trying to punish Ranma, and Shampoo and Kodachi went back to trying to kill Akane.
The fight continued for several minutes, during the whole time nobody notice the aura of depression form around Ryoga. In his mind, scenes were played out where he saw Akane reject him, then Ranma and Akane laughing at him. He saw his target. He saw who must die. With one cry, he let loose his power.
"SHISHI HOUKODAN!!!!!!" Ryoga let loose his chi blast at Ranma. He never saw that Akane was directly in the path. And he definitely never saw Akane hit the wall next to Ranma and then fall lifeless to the ground.
Shampoo and Kodachi stopped and stared at Ryoga. "Pig boy finally do something right!" Exclaim Shampoo in sheer joy. Kodachi just stood in amazement at Ryoga. Neither Kuno nor Moose could move after what they witnessed. Ranma fell to his knees and screamed "AKANE!!"
A smirk formed on Ryoga's face. He was still blinded by his hate and depression and had no clue what truly happened. Yes Ranma, scream her name as you die. For when you are gone, she'll be mine.
Ranma reached over to find a pulse. None was found. He pulled Akane into his arms, holding her tight to him hoping that somehow it wasn't true.
Nodoka and the fathers were still four blocks away when they heard the blood-curdling scream. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Shortly afterwards, it was followed by a blinding flash of light and a shock wave that sent them flying backwards a block.
Tatewaki Kuno sits in his room facing the wall size pictures of Akane and girl-type Ranma. In his hands, is the school paper. "Why does thy foul demon Satome print such lies in such a respectable school paper? Does that sorcerer believe that I, Tatewaki Kuno, would fall for his evil trickery?
