Better Role Models Ch.3
"Hello." A soft low voice was heard.
"Shinji where are you?"
"O hey Kintaro yep I am on my way it took a little longer because of the rain. Sorry." The voice perked up. Kintaro was a little saddened. Shinji was really social as long as you earned his trust. Still Ranma had kind of influenced how hard it is to trust someone. So Shinji was only very verbal with a few. Still it suited him he had no idea why.
"So where is he Kintaro?" Ranma asked still laying down on the sofa. Rubbing his legs from the event earlier that day.
"He is a little tied up in the weather just give him a few minutes." Kintaro replied. He checked his wallet for the right amount of money and he tapped the keys to his ankle. From earlier incidents have they learned to tape things to themselves to not lose them while drunk? He wondered what meal they were going to have in the morning. Or where the hell they would be. Two possibilities.
Flashback
A young blonde haired woman is cooking breakfast. She was well figured around her mid twenties. She had hazel eyes and light blonde hair. She was very beautiful. Dressed only in a button down shirt of Ranma's. It was obvious what happened. She was humming a happy tune and smiling. She was cooking pancakes. Then a small brown haired blue eyed boy walked in and sat at the table.
"Hello. Who are you?" Shinji asked with a smile. His feet dangling from the wooden chair he wasn't tall enough for his feet to reach the ground. He was small and incredibly cute you know that age.
"Hello little one I am Amber. Are you supposed to be here?" Who knew of a little boy in the same apartment of her beloved? Maybe he was having an affair and this was his son. O no he could be scarred for life. Maybe Ranma just used me. Everything was racing through her mind.
"I live here." Shinji answered. He had gotten used to doing this. He was extremely intelligent with Kintaro's tutoring. He already knew several laws and concepts. Another useful thing he already knew was the quadratic equation and Algebra-1. He also learned how to toy with people hearts and emotions.
"Wha…" Was the only thing Amber let out? Her hazel filled with tears. She stopped from cooking and the pancakes were burning. She was an extremely sensitive woman. And usually took things in the wrong way. Shinji luckily had come across Kintaro's and Ranma's previous well you know at his young age. So he didn't want to make her cry. He didn't want to hurt anybody. He was going to have to let Ranma deal with this one.
They had several tricks to get rid of women. Kintaro and Ranma with the help of Shinji devised plans to scare the women out of the apartment. First was that Shinji posed as their son so that they left? Also when Kintaro and Ranma had to say that they were gay before one left. Another incident involved getting a huge dragon mask and scaring the girl right out the door. Then locking it very quickly. But always the sensitive ones were trouble. They would break down and cry since they were used. Still Ranma and Kintaro never broke it off by yelling they just tried to stay friends. As one would say they had a lot of so-called friends.
"Yes I live here with my uncles. They are nice Uncee Ranma and Uncee Kintaro." Shinji responded quickly to the dropping of the spatula. He put on a happy smile and mood around him. He then ran over to the women. His head only up to a little below her waist. He then tickled her bare legs.
"HA HA HA STOP THAT FINE IF YOU WANT TO PLAY LIKE THAT." Amber screamed in laughter. She turned off the oven and grabbed the small boy. She then tickled him all over. Receiving several squirms and cries of laughter.
Shinji fighting back tickled her and pulled at her hair. They were eventually rolling around in a tickle fight.
Ranma walked in still a little hung over but still he saw what Shinji was doing. Which meant that it was going to be tough to turn down Amber without hurting her. He then ran back to his room and fell asleep not ready to deal with it at the moment.
After the tickle fight Shinji had taken a nap in Amber's arms. He was fast asleep and hugging the warm sensation near him. Amber was sitting on one of the sofas at the moment rocking Shinji back and forth. He was extremely cute and active such an innocent boy. She liked how Shinji had subconsciously stuck his finger in his mouth. He was like a baby. She soon fell asleep to with Shinji in her arms. That was one of the toughest turndowns ever faced by the trio.
Another Flashback.
"What the hell." Ranma said groggily as he woke up to the sun. He had a massive hangover and no clothes he realized. He then looked around him. He was in a bunch of garbage bags. Another pile wasn't far off. He saw the unconscious Kintaro lying within it.
"O Fuck where the hell are we?" Ranma looked around it looked like they were somewhere on the outskirts of Tokyo-2 a very bad situation naked, no money and hung over. Also lets just say that they had no fucking idea where they were. The sun was rising and it was a crazy adventure for the both of them. Then they learned that they had tattoos on their butts, which made a teenage Shinji laugh his ass off.
End of Flashbacks.
"Hey sorry I know tonight your drinking night sorry I am late you know the rain." Shinji walked into the apartment his bike behind him. He had his hat on backwards and was wearing a poncho. He walked into the apartment and put away his bike and took of his poncho. He wore a windbreaker and a backpack under it. He took of his jacket to revile well-formed muscles and defined body. He was wearing a black shirt with the arms cut off. He got up late so he couldn't change out of his training cloths. He took of his hat to reveal his hair. Brown hair a little longer then usual still he had features of a young man. He had defined cheekbones. A lean face but gentle someway. His chin just right not to big, small, rounded and bony. Just right. He had a very strong neck. Muscles showed when he turned his head like Ranma. His eyes were dark blue. He was tall but still shorter then the two adults in the room. He wore jeans and sneakers. Also bike gloves given to him by Kintaro a very mature boy both physically and mentally.
"Ok so you know my cell and call the police if we don't return within 4 days. Also look for us when we aren't back by tomorrow at 5:00 pm. Ok also get all your homework done we will see you a.s.a.p. Also there is money in the cookie jar. Get everything done before watching TV or training. Remember I worry for you when we get drunk and gone for weeks." Kintaro lectured Ranma fell asleep so did Shinji. Shinji was a good mix of Ranma and Kintaro's personalities and habits.
"Ok Kintaro but remember always keep that key tapped to your ankle. Remember what happened when I wasn't home." Shinji said with laughter. As before around other kids Shinji was usually silent. Except around the people he trusted. Still the house got several calls 9 for each of them from women or girls. The rest work messages for Kintaro and Ranma. Shinji was a handsome you couldn't deny that. So his shy and mysterious personality around people just drew them near him. Mostly girls called to figure out if they could go out on a date or something. Still each of the roommates had their share of stalker calls.
"At least if you pass out stay at the bar. Then I will just get a call and I will have to drag your Asses back. Better then finding you a week later standing on the road with nothing but newspaper around your waste. And something tattooed on your butt." Shinji was almost on the ground laughing.
"O SHUT UP IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVEN"T DONE ANYTHING STUPID!" Ranma yelled rubbing his legs. He was for some odd reason pissed. Actually he was probably remembering how Shinji took picture of the tattoo before they had it removed and showed it to everybody. It was funny.
"Bring it on you have no evidence of me being an idiot do you?" Shinji remarked he took a stance urging a fight between him and Ranma.
"Kid your going to get your kicked ass into the ground. Luckily my legs hurt so you might have a chance." Ranma said with arrogance he got into a similar stance and got ready to fight. Despite the very audible pops coming from his knees.
"GO!" They both yelled. And Ranma charged Shinji. Shinji jumped into the gym roof where there are mats. Then it broke out. Shinji started to run at Ranma. He stepped into Ranma and elbowed him in the stomach. Ranma took the blow and tripped Shinji. Shinji tumbled over and popped into a handstand. He twirled around on his hands lets his legs kick around in a circle. Ranma was looking at a way to get at Shinji's arms. He crouched and dived at Shinji. Shinji fell backwards. He jumped back. Ranma then was going for speed.
"CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE!" Ranma yelled sending his arms out in a blur. Shinji repeated the move matching every punch. They were a very good match, but Ranma was still a few years ahead of Shinji so he did have the upper hand. Still he did have his legs that held him back. Shinji took notice and jumped into the air. Continuing the attack even in the air. Ranma matched it but wasn't expecting for what followed. Shinji had bounced off the ceiling and came down at an incredible fast rate. Then as he continued Shinji blurred and vanished. Kintaro had watched drinking a beer. He was going to laugh at what Shinji did next. Shinji was crouching and looking at Ranma's left knee. He the poked it again and again. Ranma keeled over holding his knee. Shinji then grabbed Ranma's ankle and pulled. Ranma yelled in pain.
"YOU CHEAP BASTARD STOP THAT FIGHT WITH HONOR!" Ranma yelled.
"HA YA RIGHT LIKE WHEN YOU GAVE ME A WEDGY WHEN I WAS LITTLE!" Shinji replied sitting on Ranma's back pulling his leg backwards. Causing several audible pops from Ranma's joints. He tugged repeatedly over and over. He was pulling hard while Ranma was banging his fists on the ground aggravated and hurting.
"Come on Shinji we got to go. See you tomorrow or in a week or something whatever. Also don't raid the beer fridge like last time. I actually unlike Ranma have some black mail photos of you passed out on the sofa with beer around you. And naked so unless you want more girls on your ass let him go." Kintaro said holding up some pictures he kept in his wallet so Shinji couldn't get at them. Shinji was about to lunge at Kintaro but he knew that Kintaro knew how to fight and very well just not as good as Ranma but he was good nonetheless. So he let got of Ranma with one finally tug for his own laugh.
"Ok but you better keep that in a safe place or I will get it." Shinji stated standing up.
"Ok Ranma lets go before Shinji kicks your ass again." Kintaro yelled causing Ranma to get up in anger and charge at Kintaro. Kintaro wasn't as good a fighter but he was a hell of a runner. He ran down the stars floor after floor at an incredibly fast rate and jumped into his car. Starting the engine he took off for the bar. Ranma was close in suit with his motorcycle he was going to kill Kintaro in the next bar fight they got into.
Meanwhile Shinji watched from the window. Well not anymore because he was rolling around on the ground. He then regained his composer and walked over to the message machine playing through the messages. He listened and took notes for that half an hour. Ranma had gotten a call from Amber. Amber was now more a less a family friend. If you could call the trio a family but Amber was very nice. Even though when she was around Ranma she would try to win his heart. Shinji had no idea of what happened with them but stayed out of it. Even though sometimes he had to comfort her when she cried. She was really sensitive but nice. Also everyone enjoyed her company even Ranma when she wasn't pouring out her heart. Shinji when he was little would just get into a tickle fight to comfort her but now he was older she sometimes hugged him and cried into his shoulder. He was now a little taller then she. But he didn't understand why she didn't go to Kintaro.
Still he never liked to see anyone cry so he let her cry into his shoulder and comfort her. He looked at her like an older sister. Ever since he was little she came over at least twice a week. So that helped him work up how to deal with girls and not blush furiously like other guys in the class.
Still what he would do is sit on the windowsill of the classroom window and write in his journal. Unknown from his perspective he looked hot in the girls' eyes. He would sit there with a pen towards him mouth and right. His shirt flapping with the open window also one of his legs on the sill and the other holding him up. Even though some kids have tried to beat him up. He just threw one punch and walked away. Usually the boy would be on the ground unconscious or to hurt to do anything. So he was the silent hero and handsome prince of the school. Still he was dense and that came from Ranma so he never took notice. He just wrote in his notebook about teenage life. He was going to add it to Kintaro's several size volumes set. You see because Kintaro didn't start taking notes until he became the wandering student. So now Shinji was going to help with the few years he took notes and wrote in the journal. His notes were a lot more neat the Kintaro's use of the paper. Kintaro used every inch of the paper while Shinji sectioned it off. Making it easy and understandable to read.
So Shinji finished the messages and sat in front of the TV doing homework. After a few minutes you see Shinji learned martial arts from Ranma and also was tutored by Kintaro. So it only took him 15 minutes to do everything. He heard the doorbell ring several times. He got up and opened the door. In front of him stood the beautiful Amber.
"Hello Amber would you like to come in?" Shinji asked looking at the 29-year-old blonde. She still looked the same never really a little older just the same. Still it was raining outside so she had an umbrella.
"Yes I would like that." Amber replied stepping into the apartment she almost knew every nook and cranny of the place. She had watched Shinji grow up from an innocent boy to now a tall handsome young man. He was always there when he was needed. He would always help and that was something not many people showed some traits that every women of his time would want.
"Is Ranma here?" Amber asked.
"No he left to go drinking with Kintaro. Amber maybe you should give up and go dating. Ranma sees you only as a friend and I don't want to see you cry anymore. Or do you want me to explain why Ranma won't get into a relationship maybe that will help you understand?" Shinji truly was noble and honorably. He didn't like to see her cry. Always crying whenever Ranma just said they were friends. Maybe he could shed some light on her situation.
"I can't give up on him. Do you know why I won't give up on him? He saved my life. Even though I was walking down a dark alley that day. The day that I was almost how would you say taken advantage of by force? Ranma stepped in and saved me. He made sure I was safe. I want someone to know that I feel for him or her I am not the person to easily let go." Amber said actually almost screamed. She was getting teary eyed. It was true she was almost raped. If it weren't for Ranma she would have to go through therapy and lots of it. Several thugs had cornered her while it was raining. They were about to rip off her clothes when Ranma came in. He was in his cop uniform and looking like the modern knight in shining armor. He literally threw the guys through walls and picked up Amber and carried her to the station. She was a little no not a little shocked. Still she was madly in love with him since then.
"Ranma Saotome just sees you as a friend I am sorry Amber. Maybe I should say it. Ranma has or had a fiancé her name was Akane Tendo. I was told this when I was young. He loved her so much until that fateful day. Second impact he saw her die first hand. His destined and beloved die. He will not have children because the person he wants to have children with is dead. He is truly noble but he is a man. You see one cannot go their entire life without physical and legal ecstasy. I am sorry Amber but I have to tell you. Even though I know it will break your heart. That is the truth he can never truly love another women as he loved Akane never in a million life times. He had saved her many times he has told me the hardships he has born and scars he has. I am sorry." Shinji said in sadness. He truly knew everything his roommates had gone through. He cried when he heard the story and how much Ranma loved Akane. How he saw the house collapsed on it. And Ranma never telling Akane he loved her. Truly sad.
Amber was taking in the information thrown at her. She finally understood. She knew he couldn't love anyone else when she first met him. But she would try. Not knowing that the person he loved was dead. She believed she had a chance now shattered. A lot of emotional weight born down on her she literally threw herself at Shinji. And she cried and cried into his shoulder he held her like before but today wasn't going to be a normal day of comfort. As Shinji fell onto the sofa with the new weight she hugged Amber tightly. She could be very mature but also can act like a child. He let her cry it was the only way very emotional something probably to do with her past. He would have to ask Kintaro about it. As she cried she slowly pulled him closer. Her face now directly in front of his he was asleep she had cried for an hour. So Shinji had fallen asleep she drew him closer. Just an inch away from his face her eyes reddened and dry. She had no idea what she was doing. She was 15 years older then he. She drew closer and closer until she kissed him. She held him tight with the kiss. His warm lips pressed on hers. She then said softly under her breath.
"I will not let you go like I let Ranma." She whispered falling into sleep herself unknowing of the new emotional weight she would receive.
So what do you think? I know that the descriptions are crappy so just lets see how you can help me.
