Nodoka 'sample the wares before buying' Saotome, raising ranma to 'save-it-for-marriage'!!
Definately OOC. o0;;
Response: Note to self-do some SERIOUS RESEARCH every time you want to make a character do who you know nothing about do something in a character's back story…crap, how the hell am I supposed to get outta this one? Uhm…that was his…uh…other mother…he had two!…
*sweat drop*
Or maybe she just changed a lot since back then…sorry, I don't have anything to base Ranma's mother on aside from my own mother. This could be considered another one of the "alternate universe" bits, but with something this obviously out-of-character and for reasons of my lack of character knowledge, and the fact that I really want to keep it to a minimum, well…who else would've raised him that way? Genma doesn't seem to be the type, although it could've been an Aunt or Uncle, although that could be adding too much stuff that could be contradicted to the back story. I'd rather like to stick with the "she's changed a lot since back then" theory.

nice chapters anyways i think the difference between kenpo and kempo is the same as the difference between ryoga and ryouga basicly just the way you translate it from japanese to english it always sounded more like an m instead of an n to me so i type it kempo some think is sounds more link an n so they type it kenpo and your doing a great job with ranma and your akane is so far linear anyways as i said akane being bi is not cannon but then again ranma thinking about sex is also not cannon thats the whole point about fanfiction is to mix a little orignality into cannon personiltys but to keep them baiscly the same so that they are reconizable as the same charters
Response: I've read the Manga, so I do believe it was spelled Kenpo, and my research backs this up. However, I should also look up Ryouga to make sure I am spelling his name right.

Response: Then I'd have to research all the combos and stuff for VF4, that would be more research than usual. Oh well…I don't think she apologized, she quote "forgave him", after slapping him so hard it gave him a black eye. I'm not certain quite how explicit I was about the fact that she didn't apologize, although she DID apologize after accidentally hurting Ranma in that one chapter…I forgot the specific number, but that was an accident, anyway. Her slapping Ryoga was NO accident.
Additional Notes: I know I haven't been making updates for around three days now, but I've been busy doing stuff for my other creative projects. It might just be a good thing that I've taken a rather significant break from this, at least I hope it is. I'm also downloading episodes from Season 2. Right now I'm working on the first half of the season, which I'll then burn to Cds. Then I'll work on the second half, then procede to Season 3, and so on all the way to Season 7, which seems to be the latest season. This may take awhile…probably several weeks downloading and burning 11 episodes per day, then I have to go and actually watch them all. Those and the Excel Saga episodes I want to watch before I begin work on a fanfic called Excel Saga: Experimental Live Action Adaptation. So suffice it to say, I'm keeping myself quite busy this summer. lol
I'd also like to note that this is my LONGEST fan fiction yet! Exceeding The Search For Sakuya and I'm hardly one third of the way through the story I want to tell! All I have to say is: WOW!
I just realized how appropriate is that June 4th is being written on July 4th! lol
Happy Fourth of July! Happy fourth of June to Akane and Ranma!
Now on with the story (FINALLY!):
"If anger's a gift, then I guess I've be blessed…" -Chester Bennington, Hybrid Theory EP, "Keep My Distance"
June 4th, 2003: Akane is just a little stressed…excuse the under exaggeration. Of course, for all I know it's just normal Akane behavior for being "a little" stressed. She completely annihilated a perfectly good punching bag…then again if it can't withstand Akane, then we probably need a better one, I mean super high-quality, maybe something with a steel lining. I think she's not so angry at me, more at herself for saying what she did…maybe I should talk to her about it, tell her it's okay and stuff, but I'm afraid to go near her right now. Maybe tomorrow or something, oh, and on another note I might start next week writing entries on Wednesdays and Saturdays, whereas I think Akane does Tuesdays and Fridays during the summer.
Dear Diary,
WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?! Telling him right out like that, and not thinking about whether or not making out with a girl during my freshman year really makes me bisexual in the first place…I mean, I thought I was at the time…but looking back, I'm not sure, it could've just been a one-time thing. Now I'm not even sure if Ranma wants to talk to me at all. I probably shocked and disillusioned the guy, he didn't even know what bisexual meant! I've already said a lot of this stuff last entry, but that wasn't after really thinking about how much I probably screwed everything up! I'm so stupid! STUPID! STUPID!
STUPIDly, Akane Tendo
The Next Day:
"Akane?"
"Huh? Oh…uh…Hi Ranma…" Akane said, with an obvious lack of enthusiasm.
"Are you…okay now? Not destroying anymore punching bags?"
"No…"
"I just wanted to say that I don't really care about that whole buysexual thing. And I also don't think that should be the key reason we get married if we get married. I mean, it's good to know, but I'd want to marry you because I'd love you, and not just because we'd be able to do more…stuff…well, you know what I mean…"
"Well, I've been meaning to tell you that it wasn't really anything…I' m not sure if making out with another girl just one time in ninth grade really qualifies me…"
"Whatever, I'd rather we save any further discussion for after we get married, or at least closer to the wedding, I mean…well, I suppose it's already established that everything we say is hypothetical to if we decide to proceed with it, so let's just talk like it is going to happen…it would save the trouble of constantly have to say, 'If we get married…'."
"Yeah…"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
"Are you sure."
"I'm just feeling a little tired, you know, from yesterday…"
"I guess I can't blame you."
Author's Conclusion: I just thought that I could write a chapter about Akane being angry at herself and stuff, just to show that side of her again, and to get the whole bisexual issue out of the way. I might write the next chapter, I'm a little bored today, anyway…but I think I might wait awhile, just to brainstorm what I'd write and stuff. So cya next chapter!
