Hey Everyone! It's been a while, for me at least. In any case I want to thank all the people that reviewed my story, you guys are the best. Keep the reviews coming. Oh and please read the bottom when you finish the story, it's kinda important.
Disclaimer: uh...what am I suppose to say?...*checks index cards* oh yeah! I don't own Ranma 1/2 or any of the characters. HAHA YA CAN'T SUE ME NOW!!
Chapter 3 *giggles*
Her diaphragm rapidly rose and fell. The bottomless feeling in her stomach grew. The anxiety in her body made her tremble. She had been caught. Someone had found out her secret. Akane slowly turned around to see who it was. Genma Saotome stood before her. 'Great. not only have I been caught but it just had to be Ranma's dad.'
'A-Akane...? You... a man??"
"Heh...um..well..yeah..."
There was a moment of silence.
"How?? Did you ....visit the ground of accursed springs?" There was another moment of silence and then a whisper, barely audible. "...Yes..."
"Wait a minute, when did you go? How did you fall?...I don't understand..."
"Um...well I went to the ground of accursed springs to find the spring of drowned boy. That way you and Rannma would be back to normal but when I got there I couldn't find it. I fell in one of the springs and well...''
" I see. this isn't good. My son is engaged to a man! how horrible!" Genma Saotome began to weep. Tears streamed down his face. there was a bucket, a flash of gray and soon enough Genma had a giant bruise on her forehead.
"I have a BIG problem and all you can think about is THAT??!" Akane glared down at her father-in-law. Her knuckles tightened, her face red with fury. The ringing in Genma's ears wouldn't cease. He rocked himself back and forth, with his head in his hands until the pain subsided. Akane's anger also settled. She began shift her feet while twiddling her thumbs until she finally asked, "So how'd you find me here?"
The old man paused for a moment. "I saw Ranma out front screaming like a maniac about some freak in the bathroom. He ran across the street. I came back to see if anyone was here when I heard the bushes rustle. The rest is self-explanatory. I take it Ranma has seen male you."
yeah, but he doesn't know it's me. I can't let Ranma or anyone else know. Please, you cant' tell Mr. Saotome You just can't." The pleading look ion her eyes made Genma forget the bribe he had in mind.
"Alright, I won't tell. But since you are half man you have to be strong like one. None of my boys will be weak."
Uhm...what do you mean?"
"You're my son-well son-in-law, so you have to be strong like Ranma. I want to train you from now on."
"You want to-to train me??" 'I can be strong like-like Ranma!'
"C'mon, we have a lot of work to do."

"That little punk! I cant' believe it! Coming into the house like that!" The anger flashed in his eyes. He hated that boy for what he did and even more so for not finding him. Ranma had checked all over town but there seemed to be no sign of the blue haired teenager. 'When I find him the only thing left of him will the blood they scraped off the sidewalk.'

They stood in a small clearing. Both men had attacked and collided with each fallen and picked themselves right up. Akane was beaten and bruised. Her left eye was black and her lower lip bled. muud stains and tears adorned her clothes. Genma on the other hand faired much better. He han olny a few grass stains on his gi.
"Come on Akane! this is child's play compared to the training Ranma does!" That was a lie, of course. Akane was pretty advanced in martial arts so Genma had decided to turn the training up a notch, but this still wasn't what Ranma did in training.
"Grr, I'm trying!" 'I gotta do this!' The older male charged at Akane at full speed. He knocked her out with four blows to the stomach. The impact was too much for her, sending her skidding off somewhere deep in the forest. She cringed in pain. Akane closed her eyes but could still feel the pain surging in her body. There were two strong arms that lifted Akane off her feet.
"That's all for today. You did good."
"Unhgh. Thanks Mr. Saotome." She began caressing her injured arm.
"Yeah, well we'd better start heading back before it gets dark. Since I don't have any water with me now we'll just have to sneak you to the back of the house and get some."
"Alright but how will we do that? Won't someone see me?" She became horrified at the very thought.
"Nah. I have my ways. We just create a diversion and when their distracted you just change back."
"Well, if you say so." And together Akane and Genma traveled home.

The sun began to set, casting a few shadows. Footsteps, rapid footsteps were heard throughout the lonely streets. A young pigtailed boy ran though the isolated streets. he was breathing hard while drops of sweat poured down his face. Ranma was still looking for the young man he had beaten up earlier. 'That wasn't enough. I need him dead.' He began to swear under his breath when something caught his eye. In the distance he could make out two figures, an old man and an adolescent- a blue haired adolescent.
"IT'S YOU!!" He spoke before thinking. Akane froze. She recognized that voice anywhere. looking up she found Ranma sprint straight to her. Genma realized the situation and began to think up a plan.
"I'LL KILL YOU!! DAD, WATCH OUT!" Ranma jumped to attack.

So that was the next chapter. hope you enjoyed it. Oh yeah, Akane is going to need a different name, you know, one for her male side. Like Ranma and Ranko. So if you guys could give me suggestions on names I'd really appreciate it. Oh and ideas for the story are always welcomed. Until next time. Ja ne!!
