**Chapter nine: A date and a fight!?.**
Ranma was looking at the boy who had just entered the class through the wall. "You're here to see who for what?"
Ryu looked at the young redhead in front of him, she looked like the nosy type. "I'm here to see Ranma Saotome to get the Umisen Ken from him. Are you deaf or something? You stupid broad." The last part came out in a whisper but what he didn't know was that Ranma had heard him.
She put her head next to his and whispered. "I don't know why you're here for Ranma but if you tell me I'll see if I can help you. You could say that I know him very well and I can help you find him." She then stepped back and she could tell that he was trying to figure out if she was lying or not.
What's with this chick, she acts as if she's the only link to Ranma Saotome. As he looked at the young girl he noticed her grin and the gleam in her eyes. From what I can tell she definitely knows something. Perhaps I can use her to get to Ranma. He then put on his lonely handsome guy look and moved closer to Ranma.
Akane saw the change in the boy's attitude and looked at Ranma, she hoped Ranma knew what she was doing. If only he knew that she was a he on the inside.
"Say what's your name cutie?" Ryu hoped he would be able to get on the girls good side or even make her fall for him.
Authors note: In Ryu's eyes he was the perfect example of a stud.
"Oh my name's Ranko."
Meanwhile everyone in their classroom had their jaws on the floor. Here was Ranma, a boy okay in a girl body now but still a boy, flirting with another boy. Daisuke was about to ask what was going on when Akane stepped in. "Shut up Daisuke, Ranma's playing a trick on this guy so act as if he's Ranko and a girl." Akane had said I loud enough for the others around them to hear.
Ryu then slowly put an arm around 'Ranko's' shoulder. "I would really appreciate it if you could tell me where I can find Ranma, I want to challenge him for his fathers art, the Umisen Ken."
"M.. His father's art, what do you mean?"
"Why don't you come with me and I'll tell you my story." Ryu then led Ranma out of the classroom and out to the schoolyard.
"One day my father came home carrying a scroll, he told me that that scroll would save our dojo. You see we where really poor and our dojo was on the verge of collapsing. He told me a kind traveling martial artist gave the scroll to him. He then began to practice and I then witnessed my father destroy our already half destroyed dojo. The with his last breath he told me that I should find the scroll containing the secrets of the Umisen Ken and use both of the arts to restore our dojo. I set out to find this scroll and after many years I'm finally close to my goal. I found that the one who had given my father the scroll was called Genma Saotome and he had a son called Ranma Saotome. If I'm right he will have learned the Umisen Ken from his father. I intend to challenge him and get the Umisen Ken from him. I would be really grateful if such a nice girl could help me out." Slowly Ryu slid closer to Ranma again reaching out to put and arm around her shoulder.
Ranma by had had enough of this stuff and wanted to talk to her father about this Umisen Ken. "Oh you must have the wrong idea, I'm not interested in you, you see I already have someone I'm seeing. But you know what? I'll help you out with you problem. Tomorrow Ranma'll fight you for the Umisen Ken, Meet him at the shrine on top of the hill at 5 o'clock, it's about a mile from here, if you."
"No don't worry, I know where it is. I hope you're telling the truth about this because if you're lying I'll find you." It seems that now that Ryu knew that charming 'Ranko' had no use he had reverted to the savage seeker.
"Don't worry Ranma loves a challenge so I'm sure he'll be there tomorrow. You'd better make sure you're ready. Also I'm not sure if he'll use the Umisen Ken against you but if you win he'll give you the secret of the Umisen Ken. That is if I'm able to get the secret scroll from my old man.
"Okay, I'll be ready." Without another word he got up and left, he was going to train a bit more before clobbering Ranma.
Okay now that that's over better head back to class. When I get back from school I'll go and talk to my old man. Ranma got up and went back to class. This was her first school day as the new Ranma and she wanted to finish it. Strangely nothing more happened that day so when school was out she and Akane went straight home. On the way back she had decided to already start Akane's training. Ranma jumped up on the fence without a warning pulled Akane up in front of her. "Akane part of your training starts now."
Akane was about to refuse when she heard the tone in Ranma's voice. It was that of an instructor telling her student what to do. "Hai sensei, what do have to do?"
"Well this exercise will help you improve your balance because I have to tell you that your balance needs work. So starting today you will walk on top of fences or other things to improve your balance. Don't worry you will not fall because I'll be right behind you." Then with a slight nudge Ranma got Akane moving.
The trip home took a long time, on many occasions Akane had to stop and regain her balance. Wow this is tough and Ranma even runs along fences like this, she's right I do have to work on my balance.
As soon as they came home Akane went to Kasumi to tell her that she and Ranma wouldn't be home for dinner while Ranma went to look for her father. She also knew that accepting Ryu's challenge would mean that she and Akane couldn't leave on their training trip tonight. Oh well I'll start her first training here at the dojo, after I find out about this Umisen Ken. She found her father in the dojo, he seemed to be waiting for someone. "Hey old man I've got a question for you."
"I know why you're here Ranma, Nabiki has already informed me about this Kumon Ryu. If you want I'll demonstrate the Umisen Ken to you. You will need to practice hard if you want to defeat the Yamasen Ken."
Man I've got to find out how Nabiki does that. Oh well beats having to pound the old man in order to make him tell me, although pounding the panda is fun. Ranma walked over towards her father and stopped a few meters In front of him. "Okay show me what you've got."
"Oh no my son I want you to come at me when you're ready. I will show you the power of the Umisen Ken. Oh wait before we start, the Yamasen Ken is an art with a lot of big and strong moves while the Umisen Ken is the opposite, it's an art of softness which requires a lot of skill to learn. Now when you're' ready." Genma then took on a stance that made him look fragile and weak.
Huh, what's this? As soon as Genma was ready his signs seemed to fade as if he was becoming a ghost. Okay to a normal person Genma would fade away bit to someone who had her skills tuned by the Hokuto Shin Ken. Ranma was able to sense all of her father's movements. She did have to admit that this was a powerful art, being able to make yourself 'fade away like that took a lot of skill and would be very useful. She decided to see what her father was capable of. Ranma attacked the spot where Genma's image was, even though she knew he was behind her now.
Genma had sneaked behind his son and saw his son attack the spot where he was a few moments ago. I'll show you the true terror of my Umisen Ken, the art of the sneaky sneak thief. As soon as Ranma attacked he made his move. Here goes, white snake venom reliable fist. Genma then struck out to attack his son when he hit nothing bit air. What the, what's this? Genma quickly recovered looking around he saw no sign of Ranma what so ever. All of a sudden he felt something behind him, he quickly turned around and what he saw made him loose all of his concentration. There stood Ranma staring straight at her father's eyes and smiling.
"Not bad old man but you'll ever be able to beat me with that, not when you're going up against someone trained in the art of the Hokuto Shin Ken."
As soon as Ranma had spoken the words she saw that Genma knew that she was right, ever since Ranma came back from China she had changed, become a lot stronger and more focused. Genma dropped his guard and looked at his son. He was proud to have son like Ranma. "I see, then you have nothing to worry, the Yamasen Ken is inferior to the Umisen Ken. "I'll tell you all about the two arts but know this if you win this fight tomorrow I want you to seal away both arts. They are not to be taught to anyone else. One dojo has already been destroyed because of them."
"Okay I promise but better make the lesson quick because Akane and I are going out later. Uchan invited us for dinner."
And so Genma began to tell Ranma all about the two arts and Ranma had to admit. They where impressive and to think someone like Genma had created them. Luckily Ranma was a fast learner and within two hours they where done. Genma was exhausted and decided to take a nap before dinner while Ranma went out to find Akane. She had to tell her that their trip would start tomorrow after the fight with Ryu.
Akane was in her room, apparently packing for their trip, Ranma gently knocked on the door.
Akane was already packing for their trip but she knew that they wouldn't leave today. Ranma first had to settle with that Kumon guy. She had already picked out something she would wear tonight. For her the dinner at Uchans was a date with Ranma, their first real date none the less. She was slightly startled when she head some knock on her door. "Who's there?"
"It's me Akane, can I come in?"
Akane quickly hid the dress she was going to wear tonight, she wanted to surprise Ranma. "Come in."
"Hey Akane, what ya doing?" Ranma looked around and her suspicions where dead on, Akane was packing. "Ah I see, you're packing for tonight."
"No I'm not packing for tonight, you've got some business tomorrow so we won't be able to leave tonight. I hope you weren't thinking that I had forgotten about that Ryu?"
"Well actually.."
"It figures, I'm not dumb you know. Now what do you say to getting ready for dinner at Uchans?"
"Uh, guess you're right. I'll see you downstairs in a while okay?"
"Okay." Ranma left Akane to herself and went over to the bathroom for a bath. As she got the bathroom she took of her clothes and stepped inside. After rinsing of she looked at herself. It was still hard to accept that she would never be able to change into a guy again. But then again she was now closer to Akane then she had ever been before and had finally taken control of her own life. She stepped in the furo, closed her eyes and relaxed. She was startled when someone opened the door and stepped inside. At first she thought it was her father but then she sensed who it was and her eyes snapped open. "AKANE!?"
Akane was inside her room and was done packing so she decided to take a quick bath before getting dressed for dinner. She left her room and went over to the furoba. When she came inside she saw Ranma clothes saw steam coming from the furoba. "Hmm looks like the baths taken. Oh well I'll come back when she's done. She was about to leave when something hit her. She took of her clothes and opened the door to the other room. As she opened the door she saw Ranma lying in the furo, eyes closed. She stepped in and walked over to the furo.
Suddenly Ranma's eyes snapped open. "AKANE!? What are you doing here?"
"Hello Ranma, I'm here to take a bath. I do hope you don't mind the company?"
Ranma just lay there, eyes wide open and a blush on her cheek. She couldn't help but look at her fiancée. When she had first seen Akane naked she was beautiful but now after some time had passed she could tell that Akane had grown in all of the right places. She couldn't help but feel a nosebleed coming up so she pinched her nose.
Akane was feeling slightly uncomfortable standing there butt naked in front of Ranma. Her face was beet red. She could feel Ranma's eyes over her body. When she looked at Ranma she saw her pinching her nose and she couldn't help but smile. "Hentai."
Ranma heard Akane's remark and looked at her. "Who're you calling a hentai? You're the one who walked in, just like the first time. You're not planning on clobbering me now are you?" Ranma could feel herself relax as the tension between them left. It was still hard to believe that Akane was here in the furoba and wasn't screaming. Ranma had dreamed about this but never thought that it would come true this soon.
Akane looked at Ranma and smiled, she could tell that Ranma was relaxing and she could feel herself relax as well. "Don't worry, I'm not here to clobber you, I'm here to take a bath with my fiancé. That is if she doesn't mind the company." Akane sat down on the stool and rinsed herself off. When she was done she turned her back to Ranma. "Say Ranma would you mind washing my back?"
"Uh, ah, oh sure." Ranma got out of the water and took a washing cloth and some soap and began to wash Akane's back. When her hands first toughed her back she could feel Akane's muscle tense up so she left her hands there and let Akane get used to her touch. After a few moments Akane relaxed again and Ranma washed Akane's back.
Akane sat there, her face still beet red but she was able to relax. This was the first time she was washed by someone else then her family. She could feel Ranma's slender hands on her back. She was amazed at the strength in those hands just by touching her she could feel the strength in those hands. She knew that Ranma was capable of severely hurting people with those hands. But now she could feel that Ranma was also very capable at massaging someone with those hands. She slowly started to doze of and soon she fell asleep.
Ranma noticed it when Akane fell asleep and smiled she now felt completely comfortable with Akane here. I'm glad Akane had the nerve to do this because I wouldn't have had the guts to do this. Man if out parents saw us like this we would be married in a heartbeat. Without even thinking about it Ranma began washing the rest of Akane's body and when she was done she picked her up and stepped into the furo. She sat her down next to her and placed Akane's head on her shoulder and she just sat there enjoying this moment.
Akane was sleeping peacefully when someone woke her. As she opened her eyes she found herself gazing into two blue eyes. All o a sudden it hit her where she was and in what state she was in, naked to be precise. She quickly sat up and her face turned beet red again, she couldn't believe that she had done this. She saw Ranma looking at her, a mile on her face.
"Hey there, time to wake up and get ready for our date. Oh I took the liberty of washing you while you slept, I didn't want to wake you." Ranma then got up and stepped out of the furo and into the other room to dry of.
Akane just sat there for a few moments before getting up. It seemed that Ranma was comfortable with her being her. She was glad, this meant that they would be able to take baths together more often. She then got up and joined Ranma in the next room and without any more words they dried off, even helping each other. When they where done they opened the door and stepped out. As they stepped out they bumped into Nabiki who in her turn was on her was to the furoba.
Nabiki had decided to take a bath before getting to work on her bookkeeping. She was about to open the door to the furoba when it was opened for her and what she saw made her regret not having a camera with her. "Ranma, Akane you where in there together?"
Akane looked at her sister and smiled. "Yep, why is there something wrong with someone taking a bath with her fiancé?" And without any more words both went to their own rooms to get dressed for their date.
Ranma had decided to put on her best clothes even though they where to big her. "Looks like I'll have to get some new clothes now that I don't need the larger ones any more. When she was done she walked downstairs and waited for Akane.
After 10 minutes Akane came down and when Ranma looked at her she stopped breathing as did most of the others who saw Akane.
Akane was wearing a yellow dress that ended just below the knees, red slippers and for the occasion she had put on some light make up. All in all she looked more beautiful and alive then she had ever before.
"A-A-Akane you look great.
More next time.

Ranma was looking at the boy who had just entered the class through the wall. "You're here to see who for what?"
Ryu looked at the young redhead in front of him, she looked like the nosy type. "I'm here to see Ranma Saotome to get the Umisen Ken from him. Are you deaf or something? You stupid broad." The last part came out in a whisper but what he didn't know was that Ranma had heard him.

As they stepped out they bumped into Nabiki who in her turn was on her was to the furoba.
Nabiki had decided to take a bath before getting to work on her bookkeeping. She was about to open the door to the furoba when it was opened for her and what she saw made her regret not having a camera with her. "Ranma, Akane you where in there together?"
Akane looked at her sister and smiled. "Yep, why is there something wrong with someone taking a bath with her fiancé?" And without any more words both went to their own rooms to get dressed for their date.
Ranma had decided to put on her best clothes even though they where to big her. "Looks like I'll have to get some new clothes now that I don't need the larger ones any more. When she was done she walked downstairs and waited for Akane.
After 10 minutes Akane came down and when Ranma looked at her she stopped breathing as did most of the others who saw Akane.
Akane was wearing a yellow dress that ended just below the knees, red slippers and for the occasion she had put on some light make up. All in all she looked more beautiful and alive then she had ever before.
"A-A-Akane you look great.
More next time.
