Legal Note: Once again I don't own the Ranma only this story. Technically I don't even own that.

"Finally school's over." Ranma said with a sigh as he and Akane walked for home.

"Ranma why did you sue the Kuno's?" Akane said with a worried tone.

"I told 'ya I didn't sue them. Weird stuff has been happening Akane." Ranma said with a now serious face.

"Ranma! There's a fire where our house is!" Akane said in a panic pointing to the smoke coming from two blocks ahead.

"Hurry up." Ranma ran off and jumped the wall into the backyard to find Happosai burning Ranma's clothes. "Hey! What are you doing old man?!" Ranma yelled in anger.

"Payback. I woke up today and found my clothes and my panty collection! Now I'm going to make you pay. First by doing the same to your clothes." Happosai said throwing the last of Ranma's clothes into the fire.

"Old man! I didn't burn your stupid clothes, but you did to mine. Time for my payback!" Ranma said getting ready to fight. Happosai quickly hit him down and ran off.

"I'll get you back Ranma!" Happosai said running off into the house.

"Ranma you got him mad again. You seem to be doing that to everyone these days. Usually it's just me." Akane said with a shrug. "We'll go shop for some clothes tomorrow okay Ranma?" Akane said walking into the house.

"My clothes. Now I'll have to wear this outfit until I get more." Ranma said looking down to his usual red Chinese shirt and black pants. "Better not get it messed up." Ranma said entering the house.

That night…

"That's it Ranma you'll just have to leave again so Master can cool off." Genma said as he and Soun tossed the boy out along with a tent and supplies into the backyard.

"Hey! You can't do that!" Ranma said in protest standing up.

"You just had to burn Master's things. He went and damaged the house, he put stuff in places they definitely shouldn't have been! Like that darn itching powder in my gi. It's all your fault so go now." Soun said straight-faced scratching his back profusely.

"Pheh. Fine." Ranma said picking up his stuff and walking away.

"Wait!" Akane said catching up with Ranma. "Ranma don't worry about this. Everything usually turns out all right. Take this sweater I made so you'll stay warm. It's supposed to be cold tonight." Akane said handing Ranma a dark blue sweater with one sleeve too long and the other too short.

"Uh. Thanks a lot Akane." Ranma said with a forced smile. "Don't worry about me. I'm too tough a guy to let a little cold get to him." Ranma said with a shrug.

"Yeah that's you." Akane said with her eyes rolled back. "See you later." Akane said with a smile walking away leaving Ranma in the street.

"At least Akane still likes me enough." Ranma said with a sigh walking down the street for the place he stayed the time last when Happi was mad at Ranma.

Thanks to the…3 of you that reviewed I appreciate it. I'm really just writing this for myself. Anyway this isn't a RyogaxAkane. It may be RanmaxAkane, but maybe not. Depends. So the only people that still like Ranma are Ukyo, The Tendos', his parents, and I guess Ryoga. Tell me if there's any other main character's I forgot about before I get past the take Ranma down a notch stage.

Basically this story is the ancient story everyone likes of a hero's downfall and how he gets back up.
