Ranma – The Hex Factor Chapter Three part 1
Ranma looked up at the strange man that was floating just off the ground and blocking her path. Subtly shifting her posture to a defensive stance.
"Just who the hell are you and what's with the helmet?" The man floated in silence for a moment before speaking
"I'm your fath..." Suddenly he was cut off by a loud battle cry
"RANMA! YOU I KILL!"
Some days it just didn't pay to get out of bed.

Ranma grumbled to himself as he sat in the back of the classroom valiantly trying to stay awake. 'Man school was boring enough in Japanese, now it's worse than that time pops decided he to try and train me in the dreaded accountant-fist.' He winced at the memory, the only thing the training had done for him was leave him in a state of catatonia for a week and a tendency to get nervous around tax time.
Ranma sent a silent prayer of thanks to the kamis when the bell rang for lunch and wasted no time before hopping out of the window and finding a quiet place under the football stands for lunch. It had only been three days since they arrived at the mansion and already chaos that he had left behind in narmia seemed to be catching up to him again. Having left behind two fiancés, a half-pig out for revenge, and a crazed amazon out for his blood he had thought that maybe things would quiet down for him. The girls of the mansion seemed to have created some sort of informal contest over him, which of course had not made him the most popular person among the guys there. Added to the fact that the girls seemed to have invoked Nabiki's wrath, along with everyone involved having not entirely stable super-powers, well it had been an interesting few days. He really didn't know what the girls could have done to piss off Nabiki like that, but he was really glad it wasn't him that she was mad at, he shuddered, if they didn't have powers they would probably have been bankrupt, maimed, and deported from the country by now.
Still though having Nabiki around wasn't nearly as bad as he first imagined. For some reason she seemed to have appointed herself Ranma's personal guardian since coming here and had even opened up around him a little more. Something that if you had told Ranma a week ago he would have laughed in your face. The Ice queen was still there, but whenever they happened to be alone he had caught a hint of a smile on her face. This morning had been particularly bad when Nabiki had somehow manipulated bam- bam into blowing up Kitty and Rogue's room. He laughed, it was either be bored out of his mind at school, or blown up at home. Why was there never a middle ground in his life? The wind picked that moment to blow over a half filled cup on the stands above him with the predictable results. Ranma-chan glared at the sky in accusation.
...........
Kitty sat in class wondering why Ranma hadn't come back from lunch. She had spent the entire time looking for him, but just like yesterday he seemed to vanish as soon as the bell had rung. She sighed, 'He's such a cutely, even if is kinda creepy that he turns into Wanda when he gets wet,' something that even the professor couldn't explain. There was no way she was going to let him fall into those other girls clutches. 'Ohhh, and when I get my hands on Nabiki I'm going to leave her in a wall!'
Nabiki frowned when she looked at Ranma's empty desk, somehow knowing that the idiot was getting himself into another mess. Glancing around the room though she couldn't help but smirk at Kitty's obvious irritation. 'Just wait until she sees those pictures I sold to the track team.'
..............
Ranma meanwhile was still female, and currently hiding in a stall of the men's bathroom. 'Damn Americans, didn't they believe in hot water?! Who makes a sink with two knobs that both dispense cold water!?' After another few minutes the rush that occurred between classes ended and Ranma quickly exited the stall and headed for the door and was almost smacked in the head when the door slammed open and something small and smelly latched on to her chest and tackled her to the ground. Instincts honed by time spent with Happosai kicked in and soon a vicious uppercut accompanied by the yell of "HENTAI!" sent her accoster into the ceiling. Brushing herself off Ranma got back up and left.
Toad collapsed back to the ground feeling dazed, but not from the his injuries. In a small wistful voice he whispered
"Wanda....."
His daydreams were interrupted however when the reason he had run into the bathroom in the first place opened the door and stared down at him. Even the beating the football team captain gave him was not enough to drive her lovely image from his head.
....................
Ranma stalked down the street towards the mansion. She never noticed a woman in a business suit that stared at her in shock as she passed.
"Stupid perverts, stupid curse, stupid school, stupid LIFE!"
When he reached the gates of the mansion he intended on flinging them open to vent a little of his frustration, instead they flew off their hinges and shattered as if made from glass. Needless to say, he was less than pleased.
..........................
Mystique watched from the trees as Ranma destroyed the gate to Xavier's mansion and smiled cruelly. 'Wanda's back and staying with the x- brats....this has potential. Maybe my plans are not totally ruined after all.'
