Sorry for not putting anything out on this for so long. I can barely imagine anyone being interested anymore but, it's worth a shot. I'm continuing this fic after discontinuing it many months ago. Oh and the whole vote thing?... Forget it. I grew up... sorry. Parings are Lariath/Ryoga, Ranma/Akane On with the show. For Christmas I'm giving everyone one of my favorite jokes...(Your gonna hate me now aren't you?)
So this man walks into a bar and sees this beautiful woman. So he walks over to her and they sit and talk for a while, drink a little and get to know each other. After a little while the woman leans over to the man and says... "I wan't you to make me feel like REAL woman!" And so the man takes off his jacket and says "I need this ironed."
Of course i'll probably get comments saying "You shouldn't put jokes on the FF.net! It's for FANFICTION! NOT JOKES!" Yes... I can hear it now!
Now really... on with the show.
Chapter 4: Weaponry upgrades.
"Hey, Ranma! Wake up! Were gonna be late!.... AGAIN!" Akane yelled. Lately she had put away her mallet... Mostly.
"RANMA! COME ON!" Akane yelled again begining to get angry.
"...Akane... It's 5:30" Ranma deadpanned.
"Huh? My clock says... Oh the time change was today... I'm sorry Ranma..." Akane said. (I'm pretty sure there is a time change in Japan but... correct me if i'm wrong.)
"Oh well I guess we could be early to school today... maybe avoid Kuno?" Ranma asked.
"Yeah.. maybe." Akane replied.
They looked out of Ranma's window.. bathed in the light before dawn. It was foggy out and they could barely make out the outline of their neighbor's house.
"What's gonna happen now...? Where do we go from here, Akane? Do... do you want to marry me?" Ranma asked almost sullenly.
"I... I wouldn't mind Ranma." Akane stated.
"Wouldn't mind? Do you really dislike me as much as you say you do? The wedding is tommorow. I...I want this wedding Akane. I..I l..l,love you. But I won't marry you if you don't want it." Ranma told her when he turned to look into her eyes.
"I'll put this formally... Akane, Will you marry me?" Ranma asked. (Much more like gulped)
Akane was taken aback. She didnt' think the battle at Mount Pheonix would be so... altering to Ranma's actions. After all, when she woke up after he told her he loved her on the mountain, he said he couldn't even remember what he'd said... It seemed like he had and had just said he couldn't remember as a cover up.
"Yes," Akane said after her initial shock passed.
"You do?" He asked again.
"Uh huh," She repeated.
"I don't want you to do anything you'll regret. You love me... too?" he asked. Ranma was now even surprised at his own actions... thinking out his words before he put his foot in his mouth. It took him everything he had not to tease her somehow without even knowing.
"Y..Yes, I do," Akane told him.
**************************************
"Heh heh... Finally the Ranma/Akane betting pools are going to cash in! Everyone bet against it! I'm gonna be RICH!" Nabiki thought as she watched her camera.
After Ranma and Akane left the room, Nabiki snuck in to grab the tape from the recorder she had placed in the room. What she didn't expect was Ranma to suddenly jump in through the open window and grab her arm with a very angry look on his face.
"Get Rid of whatever tape you have and then go back to your room.... Now." Ranma said in a calm and collected voice that was the epitome of coldness.
Nabiki was almost afraid. She had never seen Ranma like this, but she had seen worse.
"Make me!" She defied.
He took her arm in his right hand and her hand in his left and then bent her hand forward below her wrist causing her excrutiating pain.
"STOP IT!" She cried at him.
"Get rid of the tape."
"I'll scream if you don't stop!" She yelled.
"So everyone would know why I'm doing this if you show the tape and then I'd be off the hook and everyone would dislike you even more. You can't just interphere like this... you can collect on your betting pool when me and Akane SAY you can," Ranma told her, anger evident in his eyes as he pushed her hand down harder.
"AH! THAT HURS STOP IT! LEMME GO!! OK OK ! YOU CAN HAVE THE TAPE!" Nabiki cried as he freed her hand.
She reached up and found a hidden compartment in the wall. She put her hand in and pulled out the recorder. She then pulled the tape out of the recorder and handed it to Ranma.
"And now hand over whatever copies or others there are." Ranma said.
Nabiki walked around the room sullenly and pulled out three more tapes from hidden places around the room.
"Anything else..." Nabiki asked saddly. She hated Ranma when he used his brain. She knew that, had he wanted to, it was almost possible for him to be considered a rival for business for her. She also knew, luckily, that that would never happen. She had decided this was a time she wouldn't be able to win. If it was important enough to Ranma to resort to giving physical pain to a woman, no matter the type, she had might as well give up.
"Everything else." Ranma replied.
Nabiki sighed and pulled out a grand total of 27 Items from around the room. Electronic bugs used as Microphones, EB walkmans, tape records, record players, and some things that looked to Ranma as if they were some of the most high tech gadgets in the world.
"This is all," Nabiki sighed out and gave Ranma all of the cds, tapes, videos and things that had recorded Ranma and Akane's conversation.
Ranma was mildly surprised but decided that he may have hurt Nabiki's hand a little to much. He walked outside and began a fire on the back lawn where he procceeded to burn the items.
While he sat there at his fire at 6:00 in the morning he noticed something in the water of the pond. He'd never seen it there before, and he knew the bottom of that pond like he knew the back of his hand.
It was in the shallow water right near the edge. He walked over to the pond and grabbed it. He pulled on it and it came out of the sandy bottom. It was a glove. Muddy and a little bit worn with what seemed like age. Just trash, nothing more.
He threw it in the fire.
He watched it as the leather outside burned, once the leather burned off however, a shinny metal set of what looked like brass knuckles became visible.
The fire suddenly turned green.
The metal peice shot out of the fire and directly into the wall surrounding the Tendo estate.
The fire changed back.
"What the hell was that?" Ranma thought.
He walked over to the dent in the wall where the metal peice was stuck.
Once he got their he saw that the metal peice had become a glove again. Only this one was of magnificent quality. It had small little whole on the knuckles as if something were supposed to be inserted there. He pulled the glove out of the wall and read on the front of it. It said, "Glaive."
There was a string attached to it the glove leading into the wall. When Ranma pulled it out he found that there were 2 arm bracers, black just how he liked that also had a few sockets. On the bottem of each there were the words, "Bronze brace."
"Whoa..." Ranma thought. The price of each bracer was likely around 20,000 yen. And the Glave maybe even 50,000. "This is cool!" Ranma said as he strapped on the bracers.
Suddenly and immence power-wave washed over him. He felt like a brick wall... like nothing could ever possible stand in his way.
"These things... if feels like they harden my skin!" He thought.
Then he put on the glove. It was black with metal ring around the wrist that had small spikes on it. (Clouds glove.)
A surge of power washed through his arms and legs. "Amazing!" He cried. He jumped and found himself jumping almost twice as far as normal.
//Mrrrrmhph...Rapmddhanamna... dnfdnneeed thaaaaat//
Ranma heard a strangely muffled voice say.
****************************
"THIS IS AMAZING! I"LL SURELY BEAT RANMA NOW!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA RANMA SAOTOME PREPARE TO DIE!" Cried Ryoga as he rushed off, in the wrong direction, with his newly aquired strengthening umbrella, called Razor Point and defensive headbands called Iron Bands.
****************************
"HEY!!!! WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO MY MALLET!" Akane cried as she began to smash Kuno with it. It was now a bronze color. On it it read, Banger. "Oh yeah! That's real funny! Now just you wait untill I get my hands on the pervert who named my Mallet-Sama BANGER! COME ON! ANYTHING ELSE!!!!
"Suddenly the words on the mallet flipped around. They now read Gerban.
"Oh yeah, Real cute!" Akane said looking up.
Of course she had noticed the unbelievable increase in strength and her body felt like it was made of solid stone when she put on the Tiara that was attached to her mallet. The Tiara read, Fairy wing. And Akane also watched as the words on the Mallet flipped around one more time to read, Metal Mallet.
"Much better." Akane said. "Now where the hell did you come from?"
*****************************
A..AA.. ACHOO!!
"Hey... where did this come from?" Nabiki thought as she looked at the staff inside her room. She picked it up and suddenly felt an amazing rush of energy run through her.
A..ACHOO!
"Wow..." She thought.
AACHOO!
Suddenly she stumbled and ripped the dress that was on her bed.
"DAMN!" She cried and picked it up... And suddenly it began to re-sew itself.
"Wow..." She said.
AACHOO,, ACHOO!!! ACHOO!!!!
On the side of the staff she read, Cleric's Bind.
"Cleric? I"m no cleric. I'll see if Ranma know's what this is sometime." She thought.
That was when she saw them. A pair of beautifully crafted earings with pearls grafted in. "This is amazing!" She said as she put on the earings. She felt her skin harden making her feel like a car coming at her at sixty miles an hour hitting her would have felt like a fly landing on her... she also noticed that her cold seemed to have dissappeared.
