Retro's thoughts: Here is a new chapter. Sorry for not being able to get it out there faster but computer "difficulties" keep posing a problem. Enjoy!
Chapter 6
Ryouga woke up to find himself in his regular form. He looked down and let out a yelp. It was quite clear to him what Akane would do to him to find him naked in her bed while she was sleeping. He tried to get the horrible pictures of him cooking on a spit out in the yard with the whole family eating especially...Ranma. He hadn't thought much about him since the horrible punishing Ranma gave him. However, all of Ranma couldn't detour him from the matter at hand.
Ryouga slipped out of bed quietly trying his hardest not to wake Akane up. Too late. He was right above her, both hands pressing hard against the bed near her head. She stirred and yawned a little. She still had her head facing the window when she opened her eyes to find an arm against her bed. She followed the arm up to a completely nude Ryouga lying against her on the bed.
SHIT was the only thought running through Ryouga's head as he watched the seconds, no, milliseconds go by and Akane look up to find him in his birthday suit. Ryouga shut his eyes tightly waiting for the utter pummeling he would most certainly get. He remembered of the time he and Akane first met. When he had helped the effort for her retrieval from the clutches of Saffron. The first time she snuggled him in her...uh...yeah.
Ryouga stood waiting for 4 seconds he counted. Nothing came in contact with his body and he was certainly not feeling ill. He felt his chi and nothing was awkward about it so he reluctantly to find AKANE STARING BACK AT HIM WITH A LOOK OF PURE LOVE.
She must be drunk, he thought stuttering in his own mind, ye..yeah that's it, or Ranma did something that evil twit. He must be controlling her just so she can ma...
Ryouga couldn't finish his thought because he had a set of lips planted on his. Ryouga's eyes saw Akane kissing him, but that was foolishness obviously his eyesight was failing him. Ryouga turned to his taste and CERTAINLY tasted her lips on his and it felt quite good, no, PHENOMENAL. He heard Akane audibly moan under his wait. He began to worry, as he smelled her beautiful smell waft through his nose. He relied on his last sense as it betrayed him. He wrapped his arms around Akane and accepted the waves of passionate kisses she was sending him. Ryouga released when he heard strange noises coming from Akane not that she wasn't making them before, but these weren't human. She was screeching loud noises that sounded remarkably like...aw maaaan
Akane saggy-eyed and groggily awoke to the sounds of an alarm going off. She smashed it with her fist as it stopped its cry of morning and school. She looked over to P-Chan, which was also beginning to wake up. Funny, she thought furrowing her brow; it looked like he was smiling there for a second.
Akane got up and stretched as she moved to her closet picking out her school uniform. She grabbed it and moved to the furo.
Ryouga looked after her clearly disappointed for the tricks his mind played on him sometimes. Ryouga shook it off eager to get back to bed and his dream.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akane hurried through her bath as she always did. She dried off and threw on her school clothes. She naturally moved to Ranma's door to go wake him up for school. She stopped her hand inches from the door she was about to knock.
She turned slowly to find Ranma-Chan already waiting leaning against the hallway wall. How did he hide himself from me so well? She let loose a weak smile and lowered her hand.
"Your up early today Ranma," she said tilting her head back a little still amazed at the not so early morning boy, "and why are you a girl. Were you training with your dad?"
"No I just felt like being a girl today." Ranma-Chan said in a totally cool voice picking at things on the wall and flinging them on the ground.
Akane stared in wide-eyed amazement. Ranma had changed over the years. Fact. He might even be starting to like me. Fact. But never, never ever, not in a million years would Ranma willingly want to be a girl because he "felt like it."
"Oh, well uh I guess Kasumi has breakfast ready for us now." Akane said pointing to the downstairs and heading in that general direction.
"Course, course". Ranma-Chan said nonchalantly sticking her hands in her pockets and heading downstairs right behind Akane. They both walked into the chanoma and sat down at their spots that were right next to each other. Ranma-Chan easily noted that Nabiki was not there. Heh serves her right, she thought smiling. Tendo had a nasty glare in his eye as he watched Ranma-Chan while reading above his newspaper. He obviously had heard about Nabiki when he got home from playing a shogi tournament with Genma.
Ranma-Chan dug into her plate before Kasumi had even finished serving it. Ranma-Chan was finished before anyone else, naturally. She got up and started to walk outside to go to school. Genma got up and nodded at Tendo. The boy had been getting too cocky for his coat, he thought. He shot a flying kick at Ranma-Chan's back as Ranma-Chan walked the trail leading to the street in front of the house.
Ranma-Chan turned around in the blink of an eye and grabbed Genma's leg. She planted her hand on his back and sent him sailing into the wall. Genma sat in the crater his body had made obviously unconscious. Ranma-Chan smiled and stuck her hands back in her pockets as she continued her course to the street.
The family stared in amazement at how Ranma-Chan had single-handedly removed Genma from being a threat to her. Akane got her bag and hurried behind Ranma-Chan. Ranma-Chan hopped onto the canal fence when they reached it. Akane looked up to see Ranma-Chan's eyes deep in thought. Akane could see that she was moving her hand in her pocket playing with something small. Oh well everything will be fine when we get back to school, she thought..hopefully.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akane sat in class looking out the window thinking about how Ranma had taken down his own dad with perfect ease. True, Genma was a fool and he wasn't exactly always in line to help, but he was a martial artist, a damn good one. He and my father were trained by the master himself. Not to mention he had always taught Ranma everything he knows.
Akane looked over to see Ranma-Chan perfectly awake sitting in her usual seat. If she doesn't want people to find out about his curse, she thought, he better stop wearing the same clothes and sitting in her usual seat. Akane noticed Ranma-Chan always giving a side-glance to Kuno every now and then and wondered what was going on. Is she planning to kick the crap out of him, she thought worriedly? It's true she doesn't like Kuno, but still he has helped both her and Ranma out quite a lot although mostly he didn't mean to.
Ranma is definitely changing, Ukyou thought sitting in the back of the room looking at Ranma-Chan. I wonder if it's about Ryouga. I sure hope not; one shouldn't dwell on a thing for too long. Ukyou crossed her arms and looked back at Akane, her mood dropping slightly. I bet it's her, she thought, it always is. She is always beating up Ranma and saying mean things to him, and he hasn't looked at her once which he usually does almost everyday.
The teacher droned on about some guy who did that thing where the thingy happened with the other guy and they both used some thing to do something. Ranma-Chan was bored out of her mind, but she kept her focus on Kuno who obviously did nothing but stare at her.
He he, Ranma thought smiling a wicked grin at Kuno who took no mention of it, soon you WILL be mine "Kuno-Baby". Ranma-Chan smiled at the thought of seeing Nabiki's face when she figured out Kuno was gone. Ranma-Chan let loose a small, but very audible, giggle in class. The teacher broke his chalk on the board, and looked very irritated as he turned around to look at the class. He pushed his glasses back up on his face and pointed to Ranma-Chan then pointing to the bucket full of water and pointing to the door all while growling.
Ranma-Chan waved him off and took the buckets outside the hall. Ranma-Chan put her ear on the door and listened to see if her plan was working. She heard Kuno give a speech about his "pig-tailed girl" and heard him walk towards the door. She resumed position and smoothed out her clothes expecting the klutz.
Kuno stepped into the hall looking around and looked down to Ranma-Chan. "My Goddess!" Kuno screamed as he enveloped Ranma-Chan into his arms. She squeaked a little and returned her smile to her face as he set her down. "I, Tatewaki Kuno the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High, shall give you and the beloved Akane Tendo the honor of this." Kuno unraveled a scroll that was several meters long. Ranma-Chan picked it up and followed it to the bottom looking for only a few words.
"A date?" Ranma-Chan said acting excited at the invitation thanking she didn't have to do it herself. It would have been just too awkward asking him after their history, and their future.
"Please oh fair maiden sent down from the heavens, do me this favor of dating me for but, just one night."
"Of course". It took only a sheer will of steel to keep from breaking her acting job right then and there.
"But please I only ask for one..." Kuno was hanging on Ranma-Chan's pant leg when he did a double take and resumed his royalty form. "I accept your acceptance." Kuno said bowing as he gave her a list of where they would meet what time and the food he would be ordering. "Should you wish to change any of this please let me know before the date."
"Well actually can we go to this address?" Ranma-Chan put on the cutest face of all, knowing this was the hardest part of it. She held a small note in front of his face. Kuno examined it and moved back in shock.
"But my goddess, that is in the Warehouse choume*."
"Yeah I know. I just have never been there before. But if you don't wanna go..."
Kuno's face grimaced at the thought. "No, no of course not, I would be most pleased to accompany you to that..area". Kuno gulped at the thought of it.
"Thanks Kuno, and I had a change of time on when we leave." She handed him another note and he took it and scrunched his face up. He looked at the clock on the wall and then looked back at the note, and repeated again.
"But, that is in only fifteen minutes. Forsooth I could not be presentable by that time to such a glorious young beauty as you."
Ranma-Chan was becoming impatient at the crappy jargon this guy spouted out like it was his job. She grabbed his arm and started heading towards the exit. "Doesn't matter Kuno I like you just the way you are."
Ranma was halted by the one man she wanted to see the least.
"Ranma Saotome, Shampoo will be mine!" Mousse shot out several spiked chains at the girl...well he tried to. Ranma-Chan smacked her forehead angry at Shampoo for letting Mousse out, but even more aggravated the Mousse deemed it necessary to dismantle the fountain sending water all over the hall.
Ranma-Chan rolled up her sleeves as she stalked towards Mousse, an evil glare in her eyes. The now duck Mousse quacked in astonishment and ran out the hole he had so kindly made as an entrance. Ranma-Chan decided against following him thinking of the more important things to handle at the moment. She turned around to see Kuno missing a note left in his stead. She picked it up with clenched teeth and tried not to tear it apart.
Akane had rushed out of the classroom along with several other students including Ukyou. The teacher yelled at all of them to get back inside as both Ukyou and Akane read the note over Ranma's shoulder, while the other kids admired the damage and the water fountain spritzing water everywhere.
( Ranma,
I have seen you in battle boy, and I must say that I am quite impressed. Now that your "date" has left you for the evening, I wish to propose a deal to you. Please meet me at the... )
Akane couldn't finish the letter as Ranma-Chan took it and crumpled it into her pocket. Ranma-Chan looked at the clock and decided to revert to her normal figure. She headed to the bathroom and emerged as the Ranma we all know and love. He looked at the clock on the wall and winked at Akane and Ukyou with a smile on his face before he leaped out the hole in the wall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranma leaped from roof to roof heading to the empty parking lot that the man asked the meeting to be held in. I wonder what this man wants from me; Ranma pondered taking a twenty-foot drop with ease gently leaping off the hood of a car into the empty parking lot. Ranma stuck his hands in his pockets strolling around the parking lot looking for a man or anyone for that fact. Ranma's ears perked as he heard a yell come from a familiar voice a ways down the lot. The voice did not bother him so much as, what was said.
"KYOUSHIN SHUURAI*!" An old man with a glass eye, pointing at a black Isuzu in the parking lot, screamed as Ranma watched in awe the move that was being performed.
The man watched Ranma stare in amazement and smiled. My plan is working, he thought continuing his focus on the move at hand. Ranma watched as a chi energy ball formed in the mans hands and soon encompassed a bubble around him. Slabs of concrete and other miscellaneous things began to float around him. Ranma felt the hot chi coming from the man and noticed that whoever this man was he meant business, and was very powerful. The earth was shaking around Ranma and earth was flying at him from every direction as he tried to dodge every piece, but couldn't
I have to take this guy out before he causes too much of a ruckus. Ranma saw the bubble of chi flow further and further out only causing more and more damage in its wake. Ranma had only one chance to stop this. Ranma waited until he saw an opening and took the chance.
"HIRYU SHOTEN HA!" Ranma unleashed his move upon the frenzy of the old man. Ranma began to worry when nothing happened, and he stood defenseless to the onslaught.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akane watched as a now male Ranma leaped away jumping from rooftop to rooftop. Akane looked at Ukyou and decided to go back to class for the remainder of the day.
Akane walked home from a very boring school day compared to what others are like. Ranma usually has the challenge at school not somewhere else. I wonder where he is anyway, she thought. Normally she wouldn't have cared two bits about where he was, but that was then and this is now. She couldn't deny the feelings she had for him and she clearly noted that Ranma shared the same ever since that night. Something is certainly happening to Ranma, she thought heading home.
Akane sat on her bed staring out the window into the rainy night, and began to really worry about Ranma. He should have been home by now gloating about his victory, she thought. She got up off her bed, headed downstairs, and motioned for her raincoat when she heard Nabiki behind her.
"You really aren't going out there to look for him are you?" Nabiki said, the malice clear in her voice. She obviously was still mad at the tussle she had with Ranma.
"Nabiki it's dark, and he should have been home by now." Akane said still putting her coat on undeterred by Nabiki's words.
"You know I haven't exactly seen him be very nice to you lately. Hes been pretty out of it lately. Ever since he started wearing that ring". Nabiki stared off into space losing the fervor of her words she once had, but it still had struck home with Akane. Akane put her coat up and nodded at Nabiki.
"You're right he can handle himself. He'll just be home by morning I'm sure of it." Akane headed back upstairs leaving Nabiki to think downstairs. Akane washed up and got ready for bed. She saw P-Chan content as ever already on the pillow next to her as she sat down. "I wonder what you were so happy about today." She said slipping into bed next to him and turning off the light.
Wouldn't you like to know, Ryouga thought grinning to himself? While Akane slept soundly in her bed dreaming about whatever she had to dream about, a boy with a pigtail slumped to the ground in defeat.
Choume - district or an area
KYOUSHIN SHUURAI is a move I made up by myself and is not, I REPEAT IS NOT OWNED BY RUMIKO TAKAHASHI. MUWAHAHAHAHA *ahem* it roughly translates as severe earthquake attack.

Retro's thoughts: Whoa! Ranma defeated? Impossible. We will just have to wait and see what happens to him. SAME RANMA TIME! SAME RANMA PLACE!
