Hmmm…. Still not mine.

Ranma was packing his things for school.

"Ranma," Genma asked, "Wanna spar?"

"No."

"Come on, your no fun."

"I have school, pops."

Ranma grabbed his bag and went downstairs for breakfast. He sat down and Kasumi served his breakfast. Soun was there, reading his paper. Nabiki and Akane joined them.

"Nabiki?"

"Yes, Ranma?"

"Would you mind walking me to school. I don't know where it is and there are no street signs."

"Oh, uh." Nabiki took a look at Akane who was scarfing her breakfast down. "Sure, I'll take you. We won't be in the same class, but I can show you to your class and introduce you to your teacher."

"Ooh, Nabiki's taking the freak to school. OohhhhACK!!!"

Nabiki's slammed her bag over Akane's head.

"The Sakura! They live in my twat. Oh, Yuka! I'd love for you to get from me!" Akane sung in a stupor.

"And she calls me a pervert," Ranma said.

"Don't worry about it," Nabiki said, "Akane'll snap out of it in a few. You ready?"

Ranma finished his breakfast and left with Nabiki.

"You're so huge and bouncy!" Akane continued to sing.

Ranma was in class when he heard it. He went out into the hall to see what was going on. He saw Nabiki and asked her about what was going on.

"Well, Kuno," Nabiki pointed to a tall boy in a kendo uniform, "Gave a speech about how if a guy wanted to date Akane, they had to kick her ass. Luckily, for Akane, she's beaten them all every day since." They watched Akane fight the horde of confused boys until the 8:30 bell. Ranma went to class, on time.

"Ok class," Mr. Miyamura began, "We have a new student joining us from China, Ranma Saotome. So, let's all give him a warm 'Ni hao' welcome. You may sit in that...." Akane burst in the door.

"Sorry I'm late. What the hell are you doing here!" Akane pointed at Ranma.

"Miss Tendo, this is Ranma Saotome. He'll be our new classmate. You know the drill, but stay out there for ten minutes for the colorful language."

"Yes sir."

"Ranma," Mr. Miyamura continued, "You can take the seat by the window. I don't want Miss Tendo giving you any trouble."

Nabiki had invited Ranma to have lunch with her in her class.

"I don't want Akane trying anything stupid," Nabiki said.

"Thanks," Ranma said , working on the lunch Kasumi packed for him.

"So, who is this, Nabiki Tendo?"

"What's it to you, Kuno baby?"

"Who's this," Ranma asked, "You're boyfriend?"

"Hell no."

"I am Tatewaki Kuno, the captain of this school's kendo club and rising young star of the kendo world. My peers call me the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High!"

"Like the uniform you wore when Akane kicked your butt?" Ranma said.

"Excuse me? Maybe you should try for her hand sometime."

"No thanks, not interested."

"What, afraid she'll hurt you?"

"No. I, Ranma Saotome of the Saotome School of Anything Goes Chinese Martial Arts, am interested in girls who like guys."

"Excuse me?" Kuno asked.

"Yeah, I'm Chinese to boot." Ranma showed Kuno his passport.

"You carry that around with you?" Nabiki asked. Ranma let her look through it. Nabiki had never seen a Japanese passport, let alone a Chinese one.

"Not that." Kuno was a little ticked. "Are you implying that Akane is, is, oh, I can't bear the thought!"

"Well I could be wrong," Ranma said in an attempt to ease Kuno's mind, "You can try to prove me wrong. But she freaked when her father tryed to engage us."

"Your wrong! Akane would never be of an alternate lifestyle!"

"Hey, I didn't say that. You need to draw your own conclusions."

After school, Nabiki met Ranma for a walk home.

"So, how was your first day."

"Good, Akane didn't give me any trouble and my Chinese language teacher made me student assistant."

"Student assistant, Ranma?"

"Yeah, I've spoken Chinese for the past five years, so Miss Tsuru made me her assistant. She said that I'd probably wind up teaching some of the classes myself!"

"Well, seems like your doing well Ranma."

Unknown to Nabiki and Ranma, Akane and her crew were playing a game of American style tackle football. As Ranma and Nabiki walked by the pool, the horde of testosterone-high girls ran toward the two, who were standing near the pool. Nabiki noticed the tomboy horde and moved out of the way. Unfortunately, Ranma was knocked into the pool by Reiko, Akane's girl-toy (if Akane had anything to do with it).

"Sorry", Reiko said as she looked at the pool and threw the ball to Ritsuko.

"Are you ok, Ranma?" Nabiki asked as she pulled a very feminine Ranma out of the pool.

"Stupid hentai horde!" Ranma shook herself out inu style. (inu = dog). "Ugh, well hope I don't meet any cute guys on the way home."

"Ranma," Nabiki said with a pleased look on her face, "I think we're gonna be good friends."

"Oh, Nabiki." The two girls walked off, with an arm around each others waist. Just then, a familiar voice came up from behind.

"Well, well, well," the familiar voice said, "I see that the ladies have gathered to witness the manly glory that is Tatewaki Kuno."

"Ugh, here he goes again," Nabiki lamented.

Ranma turned around.

"Hey there sexy!"

"Ranma! What are you doing!" Nabiki couldn't believe what she just heard.

"Oh, and who is the lovely creature who doth call my name?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Try me."

"Would you believe my name is Ranma?"

"I met a boy named Ranma earlier today. You know him?"

"Really? A boy named Ranma? I've never met a boy with my name before."

"Ooh, you're such a smooth operator," Nabiki said.

"Don't mind her," Kuno said, "He's ok, I guess. I could see myself sparring with him and being familiar with him. He's Chinese, too."

"Ohh, Chinese," Ranma said, faking an impressed aire, "I'm just a liitle ol' Japanese girl."

"Oh, but lo' my darling, you have captured my heart. Not an easy task for a little old Japanese girl."

Ranma blushed.

"Say," Kuno continued, "Are you doing anything Saturday night?"

"Umm, no, why?" Ranma inquired.

"Well, I was thinking we could go check out a new restaurant I heard about in Nakano. Maybe we could also see a movie too."

"That," Ranma said, "would be great."

"Then it's a date. Meet me at Toei Nerima station at six."

With that Kuno walked calmly off until he was out of sight. Then he launched into a humorous victory dance of sorts.

"What was that about?" Nabiki inquired.

"What was what?"

"You just made a date with Kuno. What the hell was that all about?"

"So? I don't see the big deal. It's just a pretty girl going out with a interesting guy."

"But, Ranma, you're a....oh my...I can't believe what I was about to say. Is this something to do with your curse."

"You betcha!"

"So, being a cursed as a girl you also take on girl thoughts?"

"As a girl, I can do anything a girl can do. I just have to be careful."

"Makes sense."

"The Chinese support group I went to explained responsible reproduction and stuff like that. They talked about being proud of yourself, male and female. It's a good chance to learn about what the opposite sex goes through. You also get used to stuff like attraction."

"Maybe if all guys had your curse, Akane wouldn't be the way she is."

Ooooh, controversial. If there is any emotion stirring in you, I've done my job. I like doing OOC, it's fun playing with the characters. Don't destroy my last source of happiness! *crys ala Soun Tendou Cry #32*
