Here we go! The next Chapter! I haven't written for ages for a couple of
reasons: I had mocks, and I wasn't sure if anyone was still reading, but I
thought I might try to finish this anyway in case someone was. Again: I
don't own this series because I am not a genius. Get it?! Good good.
Anyway... I hope that this is ok. Review at the end please!
Chapter Three: Undeniable Chaos
Punch. Whack. Kick. Punch. Whack. Kick. Akane slid effortlessly into the routine and the dummy was barely keeping up, snapping soon under her vicious treatment.
Akane set up another dummy and concentrated all her raw power and anger into each blow, mechanically releasing all her stress into the straw dummy. Her cheeks burned with anger as she remembered the events of that day...
"Oh my. Ryouga is P-Chan?" exclaimed Kasumi. "Yup" chortled Nabiki. "No-one betted on that option, so hey, I'm rolling in dough!"
The door swung open and Ranma sneaked in. "Taidama... " he whispered. "Akane's not here, is she?" "No, she's in the dojo." replied Kasumi whilst washing the dishes. Ranma let out a sigh of relief.
"Ok, then. I'm just gonna pop out and find Ryouga someplace to stay, it's kinda obvious he can't stay here now, isn't it?"
Quickly he ran out of the house and went directly to the park where he had told Ryouga to wait for him. Ryouga was still there and still very much in shock. However, when he set his eyes on Ranma, he seemed ready to punch his lights out... until he realised that Akane hated him anyway and he didn't feel like doing anything...
"Yo, Ryouga, c'mon, let's go!" smiled Ranma in an effort to cheer Ryouga up. An effort which failed miserably. Growling, Ranma picked the directionally challenged boy up and started walking around. At least this way he can't get lost...he reasoned. His stomach growled and he realised he was hungry again. It was then when a little light went on in his head. Ryouga might be able to stay at Uc-chan's!
"Hey, Uc-chan!" cried Ranma. Ukyo, who had been looking at the window ever since school had finished to prepare if Ranma was coming, had pretended to be busy when she saw him on the horizon.
"Ranma! What a surprise!" she gushed. "I just happened to have your favourite type of Okonomiyaki on the grill! Would you like some?"
Ranma didn't hesitate and began stuffing himself whilst describing the situation to Ukyo.
"So...I was wondering if Ryouga could bunk here for a couple of nights..." he finished.
Ukyo frowned. Extra help was always welcome, but Ryouga was really troublesome with his appalling sense of direction. She would have to signpost the whole restaurant, and even then he might get lost. Still, she wanted to appear kind and sympathetic to Ryouga after Akane had treated him so poorly... although Ryouga had been a little out of line.
"Ok then. Just for you, Ran-Chan." She said with a smile. "Thanks Ukyo, you're the best!" smiled Ranma.
"So Ranma, will you do me a favour as well?"
"Sure thing Ukyo." "Will you come dancing with me? On the 27th of this month." Ranma, who wasn't really thinking straight, yawned. " Sure, whatever. I'd better be going, Uc-chan. It's getting kinda late."
As she watched Ranma walk through the door, Ukyo could barely contain her delight. Ranma had agreed to be her partner in the martial arts ballroom dancing competition! She would win this time for sure!
As Ranma entered the door of the Tendo home, he thought he'd better see if Akane was feeling better.
As it happened, Akane was feeling much better. She had worked out most of her frustrations into the... slightly charred... slightly blackened meal on the table. All of the Tendo household were looking at each other: their previous experiences had made them wary to taste the food.
Nabiki tried to save them all. "Hey thanks a lot, Akane! I propose that the chef try the first dish!" Akane looked surprised. "Me? Why me?" Nonetheless, urged by all her family, she gladly tasted the first dish. "Ok then, chicken stew with a hint of white wine! And some special herbs!" she announced proudly as she raised the spoon to her lips. Everyone crowded around the girl to see how she would find her own cooking: Akane's eyes grew wide and she ran out of the room quickly with her hands covering her mouth.
Soun and Genma took this opportunity to throw out the rest of the food and to pull out some instant ramen.
"Ranma-kun, ramen?" offered Kasumi.
Akane never returned to the dining room, and to be perfectly honest, Ranma wasn't that surprised. The girl had no immunity to that sort of poison. Sighing, he supposed he'd better go get her a ramen or something. Just leave it on her table in her room. No need for her to know it was him.
Getting up from his seat, he walked into the kitchen and grabbed a pot of ramen and quickly warmed it up. Carefully he blew on it a bit and as he turned to go upstairs, he had the horrible feeling he was being watched. Pleading it wasn't what he thought it was, he looked around. Crowded around the door were Soun, Kasumi, Nabiki and a big panda.
"Oh my, Ranma! I was going to prepare dinner for Akane, but you've already done it! Thank you!" smiled Kasumi.
"Way to go!" smiled Nabiki. The panda and Soun were both clutching hands and bawling their eyes out.
"Finally Saotome! We can have a joint school! Take good care of Akane, Ranma-Kun!" cried Soun. The panda merely held up a sign saying: I'm proud of you boy.
"Cut... cut it out you guys!" shouted Ranma. "Who said I was gonna give it to that uncute tomboy? I was gonna eat it myself!"
"Go on then."
Ranma was seriously wishing that Nabiki wasn't a girl. Sometimes, having strict warrior ethics was a very bad thing.
"Not here!" he scowled and stomped off, ramen in one hand and chopsticks in the other.
Breakfast the next morning was a quiet affair. Akane was still feeling sick from her chicken, although she had enjoyed the ramen that had mysteriously appeared on her bedroom table.
"So, Ranma, you going with Akane to the Ballroom dancing competition, no?" asked Kasumi.
Ranma looked at Akane and then nodded. "That's if you still want to go." He said to Akane, who nodded.
"So, Ranma, know how to dance?" asked Nabiki, grinning. Akane and Ranma stared at each other, only just realising that they had forgotten about everything except securing each other as partners.
"I'll help you... for a fee of course." Smiled Nabiki even wider. The two teens sighed and pulled out their wallets.
Just then the phone rang and Kasumi went to answer. She talked for a few moments and then re-entered the hall.
"Oh my." Was all she could say.
"What is it, onee-chan?" asked Akane curiously.
"Dr.Tofu just asked me to the competition!" she smiled. "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!" shouted Ranma and Akane simultaneously.
"And I accepted!" continued Kasumi, still smiling away. "This is bad..." whispered Akane to Ranma under her breath. "Why? What's so bad about it? I think it's kinda sweet." He whispered back.
"Dr.Tofu is a good martial artist and Kasumi's won every dancing competition she ever entered!" whispered Akane. Ranma paled.
"Oh my..." continued Kasumi as the two ran out of the house, with Nabiki hot on their heels.
"What're we gonna do?!" bellowed Ranma. "We've gotta win this thing!"
"Ranma! Nihao!" "Quick, Akane, run!!!" Ranma grabbed Akane's hand and they started sprinting. Sadly, the purple haired cyclist was faster and performed a leap from her bike and managed to glomp onto Ranma.
"Airen go to competition with Shampoo, no? No go with violent girl!" she smiled and waited expectedly for an affirmative answer.
"Shampoo, I am not going with you! I am going with Akane!!!" shouted Ranma desperately as he saw Akane prepare to initiate her mallet attack. The mallet stopped, but was still at the ready.
"But Ran-Chan, you promised you'd go with me!" cried Ukyo, landing next to Shampoo.
Ranma immediately denied this and the mallet inched closer to his head. "Yes you did! You said you'd go dancing with me on the 27th!" cried Ukyo again. Ranma gulped, all the girls around him were furious and they showed it.
"Wait, the 27th is the day of the competition?!" he asked nervously. "Of course!" they all yelled.
Ah. Oops. How to best get out of this one... "Saotome, how dare you try to force my beloved Shampoo into going to the ball with you?!" shouted an outraged Mousse.
"Ranma-sama! I will save you from these foolish simpletons and we shall go to the ball together! Ahahahahahahaha!" laughed Kodachi.
"Saotome Ranma! Why must you take both Akane Tendo and the pig-tailed girl away from me?!" cried Kuno. "Prepare to die!"
In short, utter pandemonium ensued. Nabiki watched the fray and thought she'd take the short way out.
"Hey Kuno-baby!" she called and dragged the kendoist out of the fight. "Why do you call me away from my fight with the one who..." "Yeah, I know. Wanna see your pig-tailed goddess? 20,000 yen please." Money exchanged hands and Nabiki produced a bucket of cold water. "Oh look! What is that?" shrieked Nabiki pointing in the other direction. When Kuno wasn't looking, she threw the water at the group. When Kuno looked back, he was ecstatic.
"Oh crap, I'm a girl again, and next to me are a duck and a... a CAT!!!!!" "Pig-tailed girl, please do me the honour of going to the ball with me!"
"CATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ok, I shall end this chapter here. I hope that it was all right and all comments are accepted, although preferably nice ones! REVIEW please!!!
