Part 4: An Amazon's Fate
************************************************************************
Setsuna, Ranma, and Akane all walked back home side by side, in the afore mentioned way. As they walked on, the group passed a coffee shop where two idiosyncratic individuals sat. One, who looked about sixteen years old, was dressed in blue baggy jeans, a black t-shirt that had the words "No Fear" emblazoned upon the front and back, all black Air Walks, and finally, a black baseball hat sat upon his head. His semi-long dark brown curly hair seemed to flow out of his hat and down his face. The other young man, who looked about seventeen, was also dressed in blue baggy jeans. He, opposite of his friend, wore a white t-shirt with an open denim blue shirt over it. This one's hair was much shorter then his friend; almost buzzed completely. The two seemed to be talking about something called "The Academy".
Anyway, our heroes (and I use that term loosely) just continued to walk past the coffee shop, but Setsuna couldn't seem to shake the feeling that he some how knew the one in the black t-shirt. Setsuna decided to forget about and continued to walk towards the dojo with the others.
*/*\*
Back at the Neko Café, Shampoo wore a worried expression on her face. Cologne was trying to think of something to do about Setsuna.
Shampoo: What we do great grandmother? Ranma was older brother.
Cologne: I know child, I know. Unfortunately, the Amazon Law says that if an male outsider defeats an Amazon, she must marry him, but should the outsider have a older male sibling, the two must fight for the Amazon. Should the older be the victor, he can take the Amazon for his own.
Shampoo: But, is no way Setsuna beat Ranma. Ranma no let anyone take his darling Shampoo.
Cologne: Still… we do not know much about Setsuna. He may be as strong as Ranma.
Shampoo: Someone as strong as Ranma? *Shampoo's mind starts to drift*
Cologne: Come child, we must head to the Tendo Dojo.
Shampoo knew exactly why they had to go. This both worried and excited her; she let her mind fantasies for all while. Until Cologne brought her back to reality, the two left the shop in Mousse's hands and left for the Tendo Dojo.
*/*\*
At the Tendo Dojo, Setsuna, Ranma, and Akane had finally gotten home. Legia greeted Setsuna at the front gate.
Setsuna: *while petting Legia* I see someone was waiting for us to come home.
After Setsuna stopped petting Legia, the wolf trotted over to Akane and began to sniff at her. Akane was "slightly" nervous about having a wolf sniffing at her so she stayed stock-still. Her hands stayed at her sides, which Legia began to nuzzle with his nose. Akane realized that all Legia wanted was affection.
Akane: *now petting Legia* Ahh, Did you want to be petted? *smiling* Your just a big cutie aren't you?
Setsuna: Seems like Legia has taken a liking to you Akane.
Akane: Really?
Setsuna: Sure, Legia always got attention from all the cute girls back at the temple.
Ranma was about to open his mouth, when Setsuna covered it with his hands and whispered into his ear.
Setsuna: *whispering* Don't say what I think you're going to say Ranma.
Ranma: *whispering* Mmph mmpph
What did he just say? Setsuna looked at his hands and let go of Ranma's face. Ranma restated his comment.
Ranma: *whispering* What I was trying to say was, what do you mean by that?
Setsuna: *whispering* You tend to open your mouth without thinking Ranma.
Ranma: *whispering* Hey that's not a fair statement.
Setsuna: *whispering* Oh yes it is. I saw proof of this today when you took a short flight.
Akane looked up, noticed Ranma and Setsuna whispering to themselves, and became curious.
Akane: What are you guys talking about?
Setsuna/Ranma: Nothing.
Akane: Oooook…
Everyone went inside and went to their rooms to put their thing away.
*/*\*
Shampoo and Cologne were nearing the Tendo Dojo, and Cologne was giving instructions to Shampoo.
Cologne: Now listen child, once the battle has begun, you cannot interfere in any way, shape, or form. (no pun intended)
Shampoo: Why can't Shampoo help great grandmother?
Cologne: Because child, if you were to interfere, we could not determine who is the stronger, Setsuna of Ranma.
Shampoo didn't like the idea that she couldn't help her Ranma. The two finally arrived at the Tendo Dojo and went in. They both walked around to the patio where a giant panda and Soun sat, playing a game of Go. Soun and Genma looked up to see Cologne and Shampoo standing in front of them.
Soun: Ah, Cologne, what brings you here?
Cologne: Sorry to intrude, but we must see son-in-law and your other son Setsuna.
Genma: *holding up a sign* How do you know about Setsuna?
Cologne: He and Ranma stopped by the café earlier today, are they here now?
Soun: Yes they are.
Nabiki walked into the room and stared at Shampoo and Cologne.
Nabiki: What brings you two here?
Soun turned towards Nabiki and not seeing Genma turn the Go board around.
Soun: Oh Nabiki, excellent timing, could you get Setsuna and Ranma?
Nabiki: Well, Ranma is in the dojo training and-
Before Nabiki finished her sentence, Shampoo was already off towards the dojo. Nabiki stared off towards the direction Shampoo left then resumed her sentence.
Nabiki: And Setsuna's up in his room.
Soun: Would you be kind enough to go get Setsuna, Nabiki?
Nabiki: Sure Daddy.
Nabiki left the living room and made her way up stairs towards Ranma and Setsuna's room. She reached Setsuna's door and knocked.
Nabiki: *calling through the door* You in there Setsuna?
Setsuna: *answering through the door* Yeah, come in
Nabiki opened the door, stepping in she saw Setsuna sitting on the window ledge, reading a book of poetry. Nabiki laughed quietly to herself. Setsuna heard her laugh and cast his gaze in her direction.
Setsuna: What's so funny?
Nabiki: Nothing, I just never picture you the poetic type.
Setsuna: *smirking* Is that so?
Nabiki: *grinning* Yeah…
Setsuna closed his book and put it down as he stood up and slowly walked towards Nabiki.
Setsuna: *starting to speak in Shakespearean* The beauty of the evening light that shine through yonder window, pales in comparison to thy beauty, fair one. Should I, a mere man, be ever so graced with the gift of thy presence? This day my soul soars higher then any bird of prey ever could or dare dream to.
Nabiki was now leaning against the wall near the door just listening to Setsuna as he spoke. Sounding somewhat like Kuno at the moment. Setsuna had been walking towards Nabiki and was now in front of her; he placed his right hand on the wall, near her head.
Setsuna: Now, maiden, whose beauty rivals that of Venus herself, allow this mere man to partake of thy sweet lips.
Setsuna tipped Nabiki's chin up with his left hand and oh so slowly, leaned forward to kiss her. Nabiki couldn't believe that she wasn't trying to stop this. Her whole body was under Setsuna's control. He could probably get more then just a kiss out of her at this rate. Just when Setsuna was within an inch of Nabiki's lips, he stopped and spoke again.
Setsuna: Before I continue fair one, what, pray tell, was thy reason for gracing me with thy presence?
Nabiki: *flush on her face, breathing slightly heavy, and eyes closed* Cologne's down stairs looking for you.
Setsuna: *pulling away and returning to his normal voice* Thanks.
Setsuna stepped out of the room, leaving Nabiki all hot and flustered. As Setsuna made his way downstairs, he thought to himself.
Setsuna: {Hmhmhmhmhmhm… man, I'm evil.}
Setsuna reached the bottom of the stairs and entered the living room, where Cologne waited for him.
Cologne: Greetings Setsuna.
Setsuna: Hello Cologne, Nabiki said you needed to talk to me?
*/*\*
In the dojo, where Ranma was practicing, Shampoo ran towards Ranma to give him a fierce hug. Shampoo jumped towards Ranma.
Shampoo: *really excited to see Ranma* Ranma!!!
Shampoo glomped Ranma and wasn't going to let go anytime soon.
Ranma: *struggling to speak* Sh…Shampoo… w-what brings you here?
Shampoo: Great grandmother need to see you and Setsuna.
Ranma: The old ghoul…
Ranma walked back towards the house with Shampoo attached to his arm. When Ranma and Shampoo entered the living room, everyone in the house was all ready gathered there. Akane glared at Ranma, he started to sweat. He sat down next to Setsuna and listened to what Cologne was saying.
Cologne: I asked the two of you here because I need to see how skilled you both are.
Ranma: What do you mean old ghoul? *Cologne whacks Ranma with her staff*
Setsuna: Yeah, if this has to involve me, I want to know what that is.
Cologne: Well, I need you and Ranma to fight-
Setsuna/Ranma: Nani? Why should we?
Cologne: I'm interested in seeing what style Setsuna was trained in.
Setsuna: I could just tell you, I was trained in The Omni Dragon School of anything-goes-martial arts.
Cologne: *eyes close slightly* Really? Now I must see this style.
Setsuna: Why?
Cologne: I must see how rigorous your training with the monks was.
Setsuna: Oh, so you want a demonstration?
Cologne: No, I want you and Ranma to fight with everything you have.
Ranma: An all out battle?
Cologne: Exactly
Setsuna stood up and began to leave the room, until Ranma called out to him.
Ranma: Where are you going?
Setsuna: To get ready for a fight, we'll be able to finish our fight from when I got here. That is, if your willing to.
Ranma got to his feet, looked his brother dead in the eyes and said.
Ranma: Bring it on.
Setsuna: *smirking* I expected nothing less from you Ranma.
Setsuna changed out of his usual attire and into his fighting garb. Both Ranma and Setsuna were dressed the same way and were standing the same as when they first fought. Setsuna and Ranma were staring directly at one another.
Setsuna: You'd better not hold back Ranma. Cause I sure as hell won't.
Ranma: That's just the way I want it.
Setsuna: Anything goes match Ranma. First one unconscious loses.
Ranma: Got ya.
The two warriors faced off with everyone at the Tendo Dojo gazing with bated breathe. Who will be the victor?

Author Commentary: Damn it, don't you just hate cliffhangers? Oh well, next time prepare for a duel of a lifetime. Setsuna and Ranma face each other again and this time, there will be no one to stop it. The kid gloves are off and their strongest techniques will come out. Oh I just can't wait, I'll tell you now. *Author stops typing when he feels someone tap his shoulder. Author turns around slowly to see Ranma standing behind him* Uh… hi Ranma… *Setsuna steps out of the shadows and also steps behind the Author* Et to Setsuna? "Sorry, I know you created me, but we can't have you giving away the storyline now, can we, right Ranma?" "Right, nothing personal." Oh crap… *Setsuna and Ranma pull back their hands and fire a Ryu-Tsume and a Mokotakabisha directly at the author, sending him lying into the horizon. Setsuna sits down and begins to type as Ranma read over his shoulder* "Sorry folks, the author had to… fly. Me, Ranma, and all the cast of Ranma ½ will see you next time. Until then take care." *Ranma quickly types in* "And be careful and watch out for the author, he should be hitting the earth sometime soon, bye."
