"What the Hell! How'd you get in here?"
"Really, I don't think that's important as why are dressing girl? I mean, your a guy."
"I did it so I can prove to that man hating principal that men are just as good at teaching as women."
"Really..." Ranma fought a chuckle down. It seemed strange that they would both had the same objective. "Tell you what, I won't bother you then, just make sure you behave honorably and we'll get along fine. I will keep my eyes on you as well."
"Your eyes on me? I don't follow."
"Remember Ranko?"
"Yeah," Amawa replied as she shook her head.
"That was me," As Ranma said this, Amawa fell on his back side.
"That was you?"
"Yes. Is it so hard to believe?"
"Did Ba-chan helping you? You looked so..."
"Real? That's because I am... was... A real girl then. I'll tell you more tomorrow." Amawa's mind understood, but it was having a hard time telling the rest of him. "For now, you'd better get back up there if you don't want them to suspect you."
This got Amawa's mind going.
"Thanks," Amawa ran to go upstairs.
"Wait!" Ranma shouted.
"What is it now?"
"I don't think you want to go up there wearing that..." He pointed at Amawa's chest.
"What?" He looked down and saw he was still wearing the bra. "Ah!"
After ripping it off, he then took off running.
'I hope he'll be ok...'
___________________________________
The next day, Ranko woke up. She felt great even though she only got about three hours of sleep. She'd spent most of the night beating up the old man and his partner in crime. Of course, the girls from the dorm had already done a number on them. She just made sure they'd both need full body casts for a while.
After stretching out, Ranko gathered her supplies and headed off to school. She thought about making sure Kasumi was alright, but as she left, she saw Kasumi was surrounded by a small group of girls.
'I'm glad she's fitting in so well.' Ranko's biggest fear was having to help her cousin feel comfortable around girls that were more then ten years younger then herself. Now that she didn't have that, her day was guaranteed to be great.

"Quiet down everyone. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ranko Saotome."
"Ranko," one of the boys in the front row mumbled.
"Doesn't that mean 'Wild Girl'?" one of the female student's asked.
"Yes, it does. My parents were a bit strange."
"I think it's cool!" It was another of her male student.
"It's time for me to take roll. When you hear your name being called, stand up and tell us a little about yourself," Ranko stated before looking at the first name on her list. "Eiko Magami?"
"Here," a cute red head stood up. "I'm into martial arts, running, and explosions."
"Wow... Sounds... fun...," Ranko managed.
"I'm also looking for a boyfriend."
"Aren't you a bit young?"
"Nah, it's never too early for a girl to place her dibs on a great guy."
"I guess it's ok as long as you're just looking."
"What else would we be doing?" Eiko asked, with an expression that seemed to scream 'I want to learn'.
"Nothing. Nothing at all," even as Ranko said this, she could see the wheels turning in the young girl's head. "Usagi Tsukino?"
Ranko didn't get a response at first.
"Is Usagi Tsukino here today?"
"Yes teacher, she's... asleep by the window...," Eiko responded. "Let me..."
"I can handle a sleeping child," Ranko confidently stated.
"No, you don't under..." Eiko was silenced as Ranko put up her hand to the girl. 'Have it your way...'
Ranma found the sleeping girl at her desk. Looking over the girl, she wondered about the odd feeling she was picking up from the girl. After setting that thought aside, she leaned in and gently shoke Usagi's shoulder and whispered, "Time to wake up..."
Several seconds went by and Ranko got no response. So she tried shaking the sleeping blonde a bit harder. This time she heard some mumbling.
"That's my meatball...," Usagi muttered in her sleep. "Give me my food...."
"Wake up!" Ranko finally shouted. "Your in class to learn, not to dream about food!"
This startled Usagi awake, however Ranko would soon regret this as a loud crying began.
"Sensei, I tried to warn you," Eiko commented as she approached Usagi. "Usagi, your in class and the new teacher wants you to introduce yourself."
Usagi's tears suddenly dried up as she looked at Eiko.
"Oh... Did I fall asleep? Sorry..."
"Now, do you want to tell us a bit about yourself?" Ranko asked.
"Ummm... I know! Me and Eiko have been friends since we were little and she protects me from the bullies!"
"That's nice of her."
"Yeah, you should have seen this one bully. She used to pick on me and put spiders in my hair until Eiko stopped her..."
"And what do you like?"
"Boys, clothes, food, kitties, and video games."
"Well, that sounds like a lot... It's time for me to move on. Serenity Michell Whitehead?"
"I'm over here Sensei." the brunette stood up. "I'm mainly into anime."
"Is that it?"
"Yeah, that's mostly it."
"Certainly you must have some other activities..."
"Well, I like to draw and some times I write..."
"Fascinating. I hope it makes you happy," Ranko replied. 'It's good to know at least one student won't be into plastic explosives...'
"It does."
"Moving right along... Rioga Kimura."
"Here!" the girl stood proudly. From Ranma's vantage point, the girl appeared to be half Spanish and half Japanese. Ranko's starring caused her to blush briefly. "My mother was from Spain and my father was from Japan."
This caused Ranko to blink.
"I'm sorry," she stammered.
"That's alright. I'm used to it."
"So, what are your hobbies?"
"I'm really into sports. Especially volleyball."
"And what a sport it is..."
"Yup. Nothing beats going out in the sun and spiking the ball in to the sand!"
"That's the spirit," Ranko said with energy. She knew as their teacher, it would be her job to encourage positive goals, even if she had no interest in them at all. "Fushi Anada."
"Yes?" The girl answered impatiently.
"Well, we were kind of hoping you could say a little about yourself."
"I guess I could," to Ranma, Fushi sounded more like she was about to grant them all a huge favor instead of simply telling people about herself. "I'm into leadership. Someday, I'm going to be ruling everyone."
"Isn't that a bit... extravagant?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, most people try to run for governor or president or something like that. What your saying is more like... trying to rule the world..."
"And why not? I can do it. My daddy told me I could do anything I want to."
"To a degree, yes," Ranko felt this needed to go further to help the poor girl understand, but then she realized it was probably just a childhood fantasy. "So, anything else?"
"No, you may go on to the next student now Sensei."
"How generous of you... Thuy Ti Hoang?" Ranko waited, but no one answered. "Is Thuy Ti Hoang here today?"
"Yes," Fushi answered.
"Then why isn't she answering for herself."
"Because I did not give her permission to speak."
'Ok, first thing I can, I'm having a parent teacher conference with that girl's mother and father,' Ranko thought to herself. "Young lady, I need for each person to speak for themselves when I call them."
"Fine. Thuy, from now on, answer the teacher when she calls your name."
"Yes," a voice deep voice responded. Ranko was shocked to see the owner was actually a female. It was hard to tell, but the ponytails were a good indicator. "Am I done?"
"I'd like you to tell us a bit about yourself."
"Not much to say. I like to beat up people and I'm Fushi's right hand girl," Thuy replied in an almost male sounding voice that sent chills up Ranko's spin.
'Make that two conferences...,' Ranko grabbed her head. "As a thought for you, I do not take kindly to students beating up other students. Let's just leave it at that."
"Am I done now?"
"Yes!" Ranko had her fill of the bulky bully girl's talking. Looking down her list, she found the next name. "Fuzen Kyouran?"
"Here," he answered promptly.
"And?"
"And I'd rather not talk in front of the class ok?"
"Well, if that's how you want to be, ok. We'll talk after class though."
"Ok..."
"Nikaru Naos?"
"I am here."
"I think I've heard that family name before. Was your father a Shinto priest?"
"Yes, he was before the temple was destroyed."
"Destroyed? I'm sorry to hear that. I visited a few Shinto temples during my training journey around the world. They were always kind enough to provide us with shelter when we asked."
"I'm glad they we're good to you."
"So, are you planning on becoming a priest too?"
"Nah. I've got my eyes on bigger things."
"Such as?"
"I want to be a night club owner."
"A night club? Have you talked to your father about this?"
"Nah, he'd say I was just being foolish."
"And I would agree with him, but don't worry. I won't tell him... Solace Solem?"
"Here...," a quiet voice answered. If Ranma wasn't a highly trained martial artist, he would have had to ask the lad to point himself out.
"Are you ok?"
"Yes... I'm fine..."
"Any hobbies?"
"Just reading..."
"That's all?"
"Yes... That's all..."
"Ok," Ranko was sure this was one of those times she had to let it go. "Kasumi Tendo."
Ranma was a bit shocked that she was in his class.
"Hello Ranm... Ranko-sama," she politely replied.
"Kasumi, here I'd prefer you call me either Sensei or just Ranko ok?"
"Ok Sensei," she politely said before giggling a bit. "My hobbies. Let's see... I like to cook, clean..."
Ranko cleared her throat a bit louder then she needed to.
"Oh my," Kasumi realized what she was listing. "playing board games, cartoons, and video games!"
"And you seem quiet energetic today."
"Thank you Sensei."
"Ju Picard?"
"I am here madam."
"You sound a bit... French?"
"Yes, I am French on my father's side. My mother was a woman of Japanese heritage. Of course my interest in life are simple. I want to take over the family winery when it is my time."
"You want to take over the family business?" Ranma rarely met anyone that actually wanted to do the same thing their father did, but that didn't mean they weren't out there.
"Yes. My father's family has been making wine for over three hundred years. We are very good at it too. Tell you what, I'll have my father send you a bottle from our stock so you can see for yourself. It is very good. I can vouch for that personally."
"Thank you...," Then it hit her. He said he'd tasted the wine, more or less. "You've tasted your family's wine before?"
"Yes, I have... In France it is ok for anyone to drink at any age you want to. Of course, I never drink more then a glass a day."
"Well... I guess as long as you don't come to class drunk..."
"I'd never. If I were to drink that much, my family would run out of wine in a week."
"Ok..."
* Ranko continues to call of names. I'll write them once I've thought about them. *
____________________________
Ranko's day went by quickly. She was glad to have so many wonderful student's. All of them seemed to warm up to their new teacher quiet well. Well, almost all of them. Sure, she'd have to do something about a few of them, but all in all, she was very happy to be their teacher.
Ranko even sensed that one of her new students was something very special. Perhaps a super hero like the ones in America. Heck, for all he knew, she was probably the daughter of Superman. Wouldn't that be funny?
"Sensei?" a young voice called out. It sounded familiar, but who's...
"Fujio Himejima?" she called out, not really sure, but figuring she had little lose.
"You remembered my name. You're really good Sensei."
"Thanks, but it's not a big deal. What's on your mind?"
"You said you wanted to see some of my martial arts. Well, if your free, I'd love to show you."
"That sounds great," Ranma said as she followed Fujio. They soon found a nice clearing and Fujio began to show off. At first, Ranma just watched. Soon she noticed mistakes in Fujio's movement.
"Fujio, mind if I give you some pointers?"
"Pointers? I guess...," Fujio replied hesitantly. 'What could a teacher like her know about the martial arts that I don't?...'
Thankfully, she wasn't so stuck up that she didn't realize right away that Ranko knew what she was talking about. The two practiced for over an hour before calling it a day.
"Wow sensei, your really good. What style do you study?"
"I've studied most styles available like Kempo, Aikido, Jujitsu and Ninjistsu to name a very small fraction of what I've done. My main style is known as Musabetsu Kakuto Ryu."
"Indiscriminate Grappling School," Fujio repeated. "Can you teach me sometime?"
"I don't know. It's very difficult to properly learn it. For a lot of it, I'd have to do things that I can't because I'm a teacher," Ranko told her, but as a frown formed, she quickly added, "but I'd be more then happy to help you with your own style or perhaps get you started in a few new styles."
"Alright." Ranko was glad this would be enough. Then it hit her. 'If I ever want to teach others the ways of Musabetsu Kakuto Ryu, I will have to create a whole new way for it to be taught. I just can't do to others what was done to me. Most of that is probably illegal to do any ways...'
____________________________
Ranma walked slowly towards Gochiso, trying to figure out what he was going to say. He felt that he and Amawa left a lot of things unsaid last night. Things he felt he need to make very clear to the odd teacher.
As he entered, Ruru met him there.
"Hi Ba-chan."
"You know I've got a good mind to kick you out of here."
"What'd I do?"
"I want to know why you were sneaking around here last night?" Ruru asked, ignoring Ranma's question.
"I was bringing back Tofukuji. He was making trouble at the dorm last night."
"And why was Mori Koji beaten up?"
"He was in on it too. I did so some damage, but not all of it. The girls from the dorm also got their hits in. I just did enough make sure he'd be wrapped up for a while."
"You know kid, it's hard enough as it is to get the rent from those two low lives without giving them an excuse to skip work."
"Sorry about that. Tell you what, I'll pay their rent for them until they can work. After that, they can pay me back."
"Sounds fair. However, I'm not done questioning you. Amawa Hibiki also informed me that you were spying on him."
"All I was trying to do was discover why she was running into the Gochiso a head of the mob. I was a bit shocked to see 'he' was actually removing her costume. Of course, it's not the first time I've seen a man dress like a woman," Ranma shuddered as he remembered Tsubasa and the others.
"Are you gonna make trouble for him?" Ruru asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Nah, the way I see it, we're both working towards the same goal. As long as Amawa acts with honor around his students, me and him won't have any problems."
"Sounds reasonable."
"Here's a check for the next three months for those two. I assume it's still 16,000 a week?" A nod from Ruru's head indicated he was right. "Here's a check for a grand total of 384,000 yen. Tell them I expect to be repaid."
"Of course. I'll make sure they do or they'll regret it."
"Thanks Ruru."
"Don't mention it."
I'm looking for some some hobbies for the characters with none listed. For those that are worried that I'm doing a crossover with one or another anime, don't. I don't intend on focusing too much on any one student. They will mainly show up in flashbacks of Ranko's day. Of course, every now and again, I might have a chapter or two focus on Ranma getting to know a particular student, expecially Eiko and Usagi. Also, I feel I should note that I've replaced Ciko with Usagi cause their personalities are so similar. They are both crybabies, they can't cook, etc. Biko will not be appearing cause I don't want her to. At least not until I expell a few students...

In case your wondering, I will probably use some of these characters again later, but for the most part, this is just to make the class feel 'full'. Other then that, a good deal of these will never get expanded unless a reviewer takes a liking to one of them and makes a challenge.
Thanks again for reading.
PS, Jeshone, if you're reading this, please email me at stbays@yahoo.com. I've got some questions for you.

The next day, Ranko woke up. She felt great even though she only got about three hours of sleep. She'd spent most of the night beating up the old man and his partner in crime.

'Make that two conferences...,' Ranko grabbed her head. "As a thought for you, I do not take kindly to students beating up other students. Let's just leave it at that."
"Am I done now?"
"Yes!" Ranko had her fill of the bulky bully girl's talking. Looking down her list, she found the next name. "Fuzen Kyouran?"

"I'm glad they we're good to you."

"Nah. I've got my eyes on bigger things."

"I want to be a night club owner."
"A night club? Have you talked to your father about this?"
"Nah, he'd say I was just being foolish."
"And I would agree with him, but don't worry. I won't tell him... Solace Solem?"
"Here...," a quiet voice answered. If Ranma wasn't a highly trained martial artist, he would have had to ask the lad to point himself out.
"Are you ok?"
"Yes... I'm fine..."
"Any hobbies?"
"Just reading..."
"That's all?"
"Yes... That's all..."
"Ok," Ranko was sure this was one of those times she had to let it go. "Kasumi Tendo."
Ranma was a bit shocked that she was in his class.
"Hello Ranm... Ranko-sama," she politely replied.
"Kasumi, here I'd prefer you call me either Sensei or just Ranko ok?"
"Ok Sensei," she politely said before giggling a bit. "My hobbies. Let's see... I like to cook, clean..."
Ranko cleared her throat a bit louder then she needed to.
"Oh my," Kasumi realized what she was listing. "playing board games, cartoons, and video games!"
"And you seem quiet energetic today."
"Thank you Sensei."
"Ju Picard?"
"I am here madam."
"You sound a bit... French?"
"Yes, I am French on my father's side. My mother was a woman of Japanese heritage. Of course my interest in life are simple. I want to take over the family winery when it is my time."
"You want to take over the family business?" Ranma rarely met anyone that actually wanted to do the same thing their father did, but that didn't mean they weren't out there.
"Yes. My father's family has been making wine for over three hundred years. We are very good at it too. Tell you what, I'll have my father send you a bottle from our stock so you can see for yourself. It is very good. I can vouch for that personally."
"Thank you...," Then it hit her. He said he'd tasted the wine, more or less. "You've tasted your family's wine before?"
"Yes, I have... In France it is ok for anyone to drink at any age you want to. Of course, I never drink more then a glass a day."
"Well... I guess as long as you don't come to class drunk..."
"I'd never. If I were to drink that much, my family would run out of wine in a week."
"Ok..."
* Ranko continues to call of names. I'll write them once I've thought about them. *

Ranko's day went by quickly. She was glad to have so many wonderful student's. All of them seemed to warm up to their new teacher quiet well. Well, almost all of them. Sure, she'd have to do something about a few of them, but all in all, she was very happy to be their teacher.
Ranko even sensed that one of her new students was something very special. Perhaps a super hero like the ones in America. Heck, for all he knew, she was probably the daughter of Superman. Wouldn't that be funny?
"Sensei?" a young voice called out. It sounded familiar, but who's...
"Fujio Himejima?" she called out, not really sure, but figuring she had little lose.
"You remembered my name. You're really good Sensei."
"Thanks, but it's not a big deal. What's on your mind?"
"You said you wanted to see some of my martial arts. Well, if your free, I'd love to show you."
"That sounds great," Ranma said as she followed Fujio. They soon found a nice clearing and Fujio began to show off. At first, Ranma just watched. Soon she noticed mistakes in Fujio's movement.
"Fujio, mind if I give you some pointers?"
"Pointers? I guess...," Fujio replied hesitantly. 'What could a teacher like her know about the martial arts that I don't?...'
Thankfully, she wasn't so stuck up that she didn't realize right away that Ranko knew what she was talking about. The two practiced for over an hour before calling it a day.
"Wow sensei, your really good. What style do you study?"
"I've studied most styles available like Kempo, Aikido, Jujitsu and Ninjistsu to name a very small fraction of what I've done. My main style is known as Musabetsu Kakuto Ryu."
"Indiscriminate Grappling School," Fujio repeated. "Can you teach me sometime?"
"I don't know. It's very difficult to properly learn it. For a lot of it, I'd have to do things that I can't because I'm a teacher," Ranko told her, but as a frown formed, she quickly added, "but I'd be more then happy to help you with your own style or perhaps get you started in a few new styles."
"Alright." Ranko was glad this would be enough. Then it hit her. 'If I ever want to teach others the ways of Musabetsu Kakuto Ryu, I will have to create a whole new way for it to be taught. I just can't do to others what was done to me. Most of that is probably illegal to do any ways...'

Ranma walked slowly towards Gochiso, trying to figure out what he was going to say. He felt that he and Amawa left a lot of things unsaid last night. Things he felt he need to make very clear to the odd teacher.
As he entered, Ruru met him there.
"Hi Ba-chan."
"You know I've got a good mind to kick you out of here."
"What'd I do?"
"I want to know why you were sneaking around here last night?" Ruru asked, ignoring Ranma's question.
"I was bringing back Tofukuji. He was making trouble at the dorm last night."
"And why was Mori Koji beaten up?"
"He was in on it too. I did so some damage, but not all of it. The girls from the dorm also got their hits in. I just did enough make sure he'd be wrapped up for a while."
"You know kid, it's hard enough as it is to get the rent from those two low lives without giving them an excuse to skip work."
"Sorry about that. Tell you what, I'll pay their rent for them until they can work. After that, they can pay me back."
"Sounds fair. However, I'm not done questioning you. Amawa Hibiki also informed me that you were spying on him."
"All I was trying to do was discover why she was running into the Gochiso a head of the mob. I was a bit shocked to see 'he' was actually removing her costume. Of course, it's not the first time I've seen a man dress like a woman," Ranma shuddered as he remembered Tsubasa and the others.
"Are you gonna make trouble for him?" Ruru asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Nah, the way I see it, we're both working towards the same goal. As long as Amawa acts with honor around his students, me and him won't have any problems."
"Sounds reasonable."
"Here's a check for the next three months for those two. I assume it's still 16,000 a week?" A nod from Ruru's head indicated he was right. "Here's a check for a grand total of 384,000 yen. Tell them I expect to be repaid."
"Of course. I'll make sure they do or they'll regret it."
"Thanks Ruru."
"Don't mention it."
I'm looking for some some hobbies for the characters with none listed. For those that are worried that I'm doing a crossover with one or another anime, don't. I don't intend on focusing too much on any one student. They will mainly show up in flashbacks of Ranko's day. Of course, every now and again, I might have a chapter or two focus on Ranma getting to know a particular student, expecially Eiko and Usagi. Also, I feel I should note that I've replaced Ciko with Usagi cause their personalities are so similar. They are both crybabies, they can't cook, etc. Biko will not be appearing cause I don't want her to. At least not until I expell a few students...

In case your wondering, I will probably use some of these characters again later, but for the most part, this is just to make the class feel 'full'. Other then that, a good deal of these will never get expanded unless a reviewer takes a liking to one of them and makes a challenge.
Thanks again for reading.
PS, Jeshone, if you're reading this, please email me at stbays@yahoo.com. I've got some questions for you.
