/_-\-Chapter 1-/-_\ "A New Start... Kinda" - Part B


"RANMA YOU LITTLE... rascal you! Ohohoho, is this what I think it is?" The Oni
from before has been replaced by a teary-eyed father! "Have you and lil Akane
finally shared that night of passions and become newlyweds? You know what they
say, a night of passion is a eternity of wedded bliss." Mr. Tendo nodded solemly.
"Oh what joy! What bliss it is! oh -- *bam* -- "

Mr. Tendo never completed his sentence. His words of happiness and joy was cut
off as he was bashed swirling prettily away out the door, the cause? Big. Huge.
Mallet. Wielded of course by our resident cutey, Akane Tendo.

-- Akane Tendo: Age 16 and youngest daughter of 3 of poor widowed Mr. Tendo. Has
a terrible tendency to hammer subconciously away at her provokers. Source of
Mallet: unknown...

Akane bit her bottom lip and winced. "Really now, such thoughts coming from my
own father!"

"Akane..." wheezed Mr. Tendo, now sporting a lovely bandanged bump on the top of
his head. "Can't a father hope?" asked Mr. Tendo 'hopefully'.

"NO!"

Mr. Tendo flinched, rubbing his kawaii bump. "Then what were you doing with Ranma
in your room?"

While father and daughter were having their little chat Ranma decided it was time
to leave, at least while he still can. Having before experienced the full fury of
Akane's temper, Ranma was in no hurry to add oil to the fire.

-- Ranma Saotome: Age 16 and young sucessor to the Anything-Goes-Martial-Arts dojo.
Is also Akane Tendo's fiance. Secret: Not very manly...

Crawling rather ungracefully on his knees, Ranma inched himself towards the door.
Inch by inch... almost... there... Suddenly, he found himself crawling on air.
Looking up, Ranma was presented with a huge gigantic head. Purply all over and with
yellow glowing eyes, if that wasn't enough, that 5 foot tongue splaying all around
is enough to scare anybody! (it scared me!)

Ranma grimaced at the sight then grinned with all his might (im a poet and i don't
know it), and despite the sweat running down his face he managed to get out: "Uh..
heh heh... good morning Mr. Tendo."

"Were you here in Akane's room the whole night?" hissed the scary future
father-in-law. "It's quite improper, even for you as a 'fiance'."

That word affected Ranma more than he would be willing to admit. Fiance... how
long ago has it really been since his father and Mr. Tendo forced him and Akane
together? Akane... why did it have to be her? She's so tomboyish, a terrible cook,
and worse of all, is so inclined to violence at the tip of a hat. But, -- why must
there always be a but? Ranma thought wryly to himself -- he can't help but like
that stubborn, violent, poison cooking girl. Smiling a little smile to himself,
Ranma was lost in thought.

"ARE YOU THINKING ECCHI THOUGHTS???" roared the angry father.

Snapped back to reality, Ranma smiled from ear to ear like someone's favorite
cheshire cat (mine!) "Gosh, no. Um.. She invited me in this morning." Scratching
his head as if a thought came to him, "I wouldn't dream of spending a night with
a girl... at least not with a manly girl like Akane. Ahaha haha ha-- -- *BAM* --
OoOoo LoOk, pUrdY BirDies... (guess wat happened XD)

Ignoring the swirly-eyed (swirly!) Ranma and the sudden new bump to the kid's head,
Mr. Tendo dropped the teen and turned back to his daughter with that sad-teary-eyes
look. "Is that true?" sniffled the overly emotional widow.

"Yes Dad." sighed the tense beauty. Akane closed her eyes and fought back her
frustration. This early in the day and already all this fuss. "I invited him
over this morning because I needed... some help."

Mr. Tendo caught the heisatation. "What kind of... help?" said Mr. Tendo, raising
an eyebrow.

"I needed a..." Akane started to turn red.

"A...?"

"Geez Akane, is it so difficult to tell your dad that I beat you so hard that you
needed a good massage? XD" smirked the always confident Ranma.

-- *BAM* --

"wHAt dId I SaY? @_@"

"You just don't understand a woman's heart, my boy" whispered Mr. Tendo, "least
of all my little Akane's." Soun Tendo watched as Akane left the room to wake up
Kasumi. Ah... Kasumi, the most dependable daughter a guy could ask for, there will
be a great breakfast for us all this morn. Not a bad way to start the day off,
thought Mr. Tendo as he started to anticipate the steamy dishes Kasumi would be
preparing. And as he began to leave, he remembered Akane's blushing face. Thinking
about her and Ranma made him reiterate his earlier sentiment, not a bad way to start
the day off indeed..
