Patience Chapter 2
"A Bad Day"
Ranma began the day off with a bad start. He woke up late, which caused him to miss breakfast in an attempt to make it to school on time, he was hit by Akane when he "politely" declined to eat the rice balls she had made for him in case he did oversleep, and he was further delayed from getting to school by one Tatewaki Kuno.
"Ranma Saotome, this is the day that I shall defeat you and claim the lovely Akane Tendo and Pig-tailed girl for myself!"
Not wanting to be later than he already was, Ranma decided to make quick work of the ever present bane of his existence. He dodged the multiple sword slashes of Kuno, and using his head as a spring board, he flew over the gates and into the school yard. It was to no avail however, and a few moments later he was in the hall holding onto two buckets filled with water.
"What a lousy day. I've already managed to piss Akane off and I got to school late too. Can it get any worse?"
Ranma continued to grumble until it was lunch time. He brightened up a little when the class was dismissed, and hurried to buy some bread, only to find out that he was broke.
"This just isn't my day. I forgot my own lunch, I don't have any money to buy some, and Uchan is absent today. The two options I have are to go hungry, or to eat the lunch that Akane usually makes for me. I guess I'll be going hungry. *sigh* It seems like today can get much worse."
Little did he know how right he was.

"Tadaima!" Akane shouted cheerfully. Unlike Ranma, she had a rather pleasant day, with the exception of Ranma insulting her cooking again. Kuno didn't have a chance to latch onto her today, and most of the mob that usually met her outside the school were still recovering from their previous injuries. She was in a good mood, and was determined to stay that way. She did feel a little bad for all the bad things that were happening to Ranma, but the jerk deserved it. So she just smiled and went up to her room to put away her things.
Ranma's entrance wasn't nearly so happy. He was hungry, tired, and just wanted to eat something and be left alone. However, his new training was to begin today, so he didn't have that luxury. Genma pounced on him as soon as he walked through the door.
"Today is the day. You will begin your new training immediately. Put away your stuff and prepare yourself."
"Do I have to? I'm having a bad day and I just want to relax," Ranma knew what the answer would be, but he had to try anyway.
"Hmmm... I see. Fine, you may rest. In fact, you can just forget about the training altogether."
"I can? You're not just playing a joke are you pops?"
"Ranma my boy, I'm being quite serious. You don't have to do the training. It's obvious that I have vastly overrated your abilities. You're nowhere near the level you need to be at to attempt this. I guess you just aren't tough enough."
"What did you say?! Of course I'm tough enough to handle any kind of training you can dish out to me! Let's do it pops!" Ranma was fuming over the idea that he wasn't capable of handling the training. It's just a game, how weak does his pops think he is?
Genma smiled. He knew how to push Ranma's buttons when it was necessary. Now the boy would train with great passion. This is all working out very well. If Ranma can pass this test, then he's ready to take over the Saotome school. And then the wedding between him and Akane can commence. He could barely contain his excitement.
~
The button was pushed, the screen turned black, and the catchy music came on. The training was about to begin.
"Now Ranma, the goal of this game is to rescue the princess and to slay the evil Dragonlord." Genma told his son as the hero was being named, and then he left. Ranma would have to figure the rest out on his own.
"What're you gonna name him?" Akane, who had been allowed to watch by her father after much threatening, asked.
"I'll name him Ranma of course."
"Gee... how original."
"Like you could do better."
"I'm sure I could!"
"Fine then, what do you suggest I use for a name?"
The raven haired girl thought for a moment, and then smiled.
"How about Jaino?"
"Hmmph! What a stupid name."
"It's not stupid! And at least it is original." She took the controller and began to enter the letters, only to find out that there wasn't enough room.
"Well, so much for naming him Jaino," a smiling Ranma stated.
"And we can't name him Ranma either baka."
"What should we name him then? Hero? Link? Shin?" Ranma began listing off random names, looking for one that sounded good.
While they were busy thinking, Nabiki walked in. She took the controller and smiled. It was time to have a little fun she thought as she choose the name of the hero. When Ranma and Akane noticed her, it was too late.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Akane and Ranma shouted in unison.
"I named him for you, enjoy," she said smiling as she walked out.
"I wonder what she named him?" Akane pondered as Ranma skipped through the opening text.
A few minutes later, a scream was heard throughout Nerima.
"NABIKI!!!"

Well, i've updated. This fic is going to be longer than I had planned. The second chapter is already done and the training hasn't actually started yet. I'll try to stay more on topic with the next chapter. Read and review please!
(sorry for such a short chapter)
