"What the hell is going on!?" Videl asked. All hell broke loose and the crowd swarmed around them. Ranma and Akane were taking the male students out left and right. Gohan and Videl stood side by side in the middle of all the chaos.
"I challenge the new kid for the opportunity to date Videl!" A voice cried out. The upperclassman flipped over the riot and drew his wooden sword. He pointed toward Gohan, "You have no chance, my friend, Videl will date me!" Gohan looked blankly at him, clearly dumbfounded.
"Protect my honor, you blockhead!" Videl said and whacked Gohan over the head with her book bag. He slipped off his own and threw it to the side.
"No one has yet defeated Tatewaki Kuno, the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High!" Kuno declared. Ranma suddenly hopped onto his head, causing Kuno to bend over.
"What was that Kuno?" He smirked. Kuno responded by slashing the sword toward Ranma's throat, and he easily caught it between his palms. Ranma back-flipped into the mob and disappeared.
"Now where were we…" Kuno started. "Oh yeah, let's go!" He dashed toward Gohan and performed a combo of swipes in the shape of an X. He stepped back and held the wooden blade over his head. Gohan stood unmoving, and Kuno's eyes widened. "You didn't… but how… I thought I… " Videl crossed her arms over her chest and smiled inwardly.
"My turn?" Gohan asked. Kuno beckoned him forward, and Gohan disappeared. Kuno looked around confused, before turning around and bumping into Gohan. Shaking like a leaf, he tripped backward and began crawling on all fours in the other direction.
"Oh Kuno…" Videl cooed. She smiled, and Kuno jumped up, his sword at the ready.
"Now it's time to get serious," He said. Gohan shrugged in reply. The insane spectacle stopped dead around them and all turned to watch. The other students formed a large circle around the two combatants. Ranma and Akane stood off to the side with Videl. Kuno flipped his sword around, spinning it extremely fast then grasped it in two hands. Gohan held out his right hand and made a fist, then raised his index finger.
"Oh boy, now it's getting good!" Ranma said and grabbed Videl and Akane by the arm, pulling them into the crowd to get closer. The students began to murmur as the two stood silent, studying one another. They met in a flash of energy, sword against finger. Gohan parried each attack, and pushed forward. Kuno spun around and performed a series of backflips to distance himself from Gohan, then charged again. He thrust at Gohan's stomach, and he leaned to the side. Kuno jumped up and kicked outward at Gohan's head. Gohan leaned his neck to the right, and caught Kuno's foot with his hand.
"P-please Gohan, don't hurt my… my friends," Kuno pleaded.
"Huh? What friends?" Gohan looked around. Kuno brought up his other foot as he rotated in the air and kicked Gohan in the chest before smacking the hilt of his sword into the side of his head. He took several steps back. "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" Gohan burst out, rubbing his ear.
"Kuno's gonna get it now," Ranma laughed.
"Give up, Gohan? I graciously accept your surrende-" Kuno didn't get to finish the sentence. Gohan snatched the wooden blade from his grasp and hurled it into the air. He looked up and raised his open palm toward the sky. He shot a blue energy ball that slammed into the sword, causing it to explode into splinters. Kuno watched in horror as the remains of his weapon drifted to earth. "WHAT!?!?" He stammered in disbelief. "What the hell was that!?!?!"
"Had enough?" Gohan asked bluntly.
"Never!" Kuno ran toward Gohan at full speed. Gohan appeared behind Kuno and used to Ki Ai Hou attack to send Kuno slamming through the brick fence that surrounded the campus, leaving a Kuno-shaped cavity. Videl smiled cheerfully, Yes! He won, I've got some choice for a boyfriend! Whoa, did I just think that? Akane stared in wonder. I've never seen Ranma do that before…I wonder if he has the ability to, she thought to herself.
"Chalk up another win for Gohan! Man, he's flawless so far." Ranma slapped Gohan on the back. The school bell rang. "Crap! We're late for first period!" The entire assembly raced into the building.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gohan sat on his bed, reading a book for school. A soft knock sounded at the door.
"Come in," he said. The door opened and Videl walked in. She gently closed the door and joined her hands together at waist level.
"Thanks."
"For what?"
"Y'know, for earlier…" she trailed off.
"Oh yeah," Gohan turned back to his book. Videl put her hand over the page he was reading and he looked up.
"D'you think Nabiki could be right about us?" She asked straight out.
"I dunno…"
"Well, do you like me, Gohan?"
"I guess."
"And I you," She replied. She sat on the bed next to him and he out the book down. They pursed their lips and began to lean toward each other. The door abruptly opened, and they whipped around.
"Oh, was I interrupting something?" Kasumi asked in a kind tone.
"Oh, nothing," they answered in unison. They looked into each other's eyes in surprise, and Kasumi put down the basket of laundry. She closed the door quietly and walked down the hall.
"Where were we?" Videl asked. They leaned toward each other, and the door creaked open again. They quickly moved to opposite sides of the bed. Nabiki peaked her head in.
"Have you guys seen my camera?"
"No! Now leave us!" Videl hissed.
"So-rry!" Nabiki blurted and shut the door. Videl slid over toward Gohan. They began to reach for one another when the door flew open again. Genma, in panda form, popped his torso through the doorway.
Have you two seen Ranma? The sign he held up read.
"NO!" They shouted. He harumphed and trotted down the hall. Videl jumped up and shut the door. She turned around and the door slammed open behind her. Startled, she jumped into Gohan's arms.
"Have y'all seen pop? I'm gonna murder him!" Ranma asked. They shook their heads and he shut the door, stomping downstairs. Videl wrapped her arms around Gohan's neck tenderly. Someone knocked, Videl leaped up, and crossed her arms over her chest.
"At least this one's polite," she said to Gohan. "Come in." The door opened slowly and Akane stepped in.
"Sorry to bother you guys, but I think Ranma borrowed one of my tops," She said and opened a drawer.
"Why would I do that? Those things of yours constrict my breathing!" Ranma called from the kitchen.
"Ranma…" Akane growled and left for the kitchen.
"I guess that's everyone," Videl said as she closed the door. She walked back over to Gohan and sat next to him. They embraced and began to kiss. Suddenly, female Ranma smashed through the window, separating the two and landing in a heap at the foot of the bed. She sat up and realized her breasts were uncovered.
"Now how'd that happen?" She looked down at her heaving chest. Panda Genma leapt through the wall, creating a larger hole. He wore Ranma's shirt on his right paw. With his other paw, he grabbed the topless Ranma by the neck, then went back through the crater and into the fishpond outside.
"Finally, let's get back to-" Videl noticed Gohan lay on his side on the bed, eyes wide. "Ugh!" She sighed angrily. Videl thumped her fists on her knees and Gohan sat up.
"What's going on? The last thing I remember is Ranma's-" Videl cut him off with an angry glare. "Oh yeah." They began to kiss again. The door spontaneously fell off its hinges, causing Soun, Nabiki, and Akane to pile up on the floor. Gohan and Videl separated then stood up together. Videl put her hands on her hips and Gohan crossed his over his chest.
"And what are you guys doing?" Videl questioned.
"We were…" Akane began.
"Listening for termites!" Soun finished. "The little devils make a peculiar chomping sound and I wanted to check to see if they had gotten upstairs yet." Genma and A still topless Ranma burst through the closet, still locked in mortal combat. Genma inadvertently knocked Gohan and Videl out the hole in the wall. They landed in the pond with a loud splash. Videl pulled Gohan's wide-eyed face out of her cleavage and cradled his head. She sighed lovingly.
