Chapter Nine: Ranma
I spent all day training and I think I may have mastered the two attacks mom taught me. I was a bit tired after all that practice so I sat down to rest on the beach. The sand was warm and inviting so I lied back on it with my arms behind my head. The warmth of the sun and the sand was nice and I began to drift away.
I was woken up by that damn Akane. She threw a shell at me so I got up to see her. She looked too happy though and it hurt to see her.
"What do you want?" I looked away so I couldn't see her. I laughed a bit thinking that she was ruining my mind.
"In two hours you'll fight Samba." I almost forgot about that for some moments.
"How did the lessons go?" I knew she couldn't have learned to swim by now so I really just wanted to know what happened with that guy. If he harmed her in anyway I will destroy that dance guy.
"I still stink. I did learn a bit though." She didn't really look too happy about that.
"What did you guys do? You weren't always in the water." I can't believe I said that. I was thinking it, but I didn't want to say it. Another example of my big mouth I guess.
"Samba told me he wanted me to date him if he won, and I accepted. If you win you get me as you do now." I finally turned to her. I can't believe she did that! Does that mean if I win I love her, and I lose I hate her? Another confusing situation.
"You did that?! If I lose you'll break our engagement and go out with Tango?" I was so pissed off! Now I really hated her a bit.
"What's it matter Ranma? We weren't really a couple." She was right. She's just going to dump me like that? I can't believe her! I thought maybe this summer I'd get her friendship, but I guess she didn't want mine.
"Still, Akane I spent all day preparing, so I doubt I'd lose. Akane you will remain my fiancée." I was determined to win this time. She won't get away from me.
"I'd rather not be with either of you." She crossed her arms walking away. She hates us both. I walked faster to match her speed looking at her.
"Is that so?" She nodded in response. "Akane I will win. I can't afford to lose a match to some loser who loves you." I ran past her into the home and ate whatever they put out for dinner. I was too busy thinking of how to win this match. The moves my mother showed me should do it, but what if he has similar moves?
I stood on the one end of the pool. The water was warm so I don't hafta worry about going girl and all. That bastard Tango stood across from me smiling. I looked to Akane who was seated in the middle of the sidelines, but then looked back to Tango.
"Are you ready Ramen?" Tango was smiling. He called me that just in spite of me not knowing his name.
"It's Ranma, and yes. I will win Samba." I gave him a glare that said I would win. I would never lose!
"You think you can beat me, the best in marine martial arts?" That bastard just laughed and looked to the crowd waving. I think I heard some girls sigh. He thinks he's so hot, but he ain't.
"This match will decide that." I looked to Akane to see if she'll say anything, but she just turned to Tango. I guess she hates me.
"Than we battle!" I heard a gun shot and dove into the pool. I swam so I'd get the first attack in, and I hit him with one of the underwater punches my mom taught me. I followed up by elbowing him in his jaw as I came up. "I underestimated you a bit. I'll actually have to try." He finally moved hitting me with waves made by his fists, and I countered with my own. "Watch my attack! Aqua Blast!"
"Aqua Blast?" I knew he had an attack up his sleeves. He hit me with a blast of water he made by swirling his arms, and I was soon in the air. I saw Akane and messed up my landing as I landed in the water. I came back up, and I felt the points he hit me at. He hit me with that blast in the perfect points dealing the most damage. "That's it?" His attack stung a bit, but I'm not going down.
"No. Kelpie Twister!" He spun around and a small tornado threw me to the air where Tango hit me in my stomach then kicked me down. I felt my back hit the concrete ledge of the pool, and I sank into the water in pain.
My back hurt a bit, but I'd get over it. I came up swimming for Tango in rage. I saw Akane from the corner of my eye, and I didn't see the punch that hit me back into the water. I didn't feel like trying anymore and I just came back up floating on my back. I heard Tango say something, so I guess he's gloating.
"R-Ranma! You can do this!" I heard Akane's voice say my own. I didn't expect her to cheer for me, and I broke from my floating to treading the water. I was so happy she chose to cheer for me. I gotta forget about her as a prize, and use my attacks my mom taught me.
"Samba lets finish this." I turned towards Samba ready to fight.
"Yes, lets." He gave a slight smile, and I noticed his aura grow. He wasn't a challenge. I know I can do this and keep Akane as my own.

I think you guys thought I said I'd quit. Why would I quit 5 chapters from the end? I said to review so I knew you were reading. To tell the truth I want to go out with 50 or more reviews. That's just what I wish though. Ahem. The next chapter tells you who wins. Only Ranma's though. If you want the more battle read Ranma's. If you want story read Akane's.

: Well blank my fear is just mild. I don't go anywhere near them. I'm paranoid they have rabies, or will jump me. Plus if you've ever seen that car insurance thing where they crash the car and all. Hell, I don't know what you call this phobia. There's more to it. I make all my characters afraid of them. If you read my Akazu story you'd find him really phobic.
