"" conversation
Both Ryoga and Ranma visibly shivered at Hiroshi and Daisuke's response. Unknown to the other two boys. Both Ryoga and Ranma underwent Nekoken or the legendary Cat Fist training, employed by their foolish father. Needless to say they still suffer the repercussions and nightmares the training had caused. They saw Hiroshi and Daisuke run towards the crowd while calling out to them.
"COME ON YOU GUYS!" Daisuke called out.
Ryoga and Ranma watched as their friends headed towards the commotion. They then glanced at each other before finally getting up and ran to the crowds of students. They were both curious at what was so interesting about the two groups of girls. And why the whole student body seemed to be so fascinated by it…
A Few moments ago:
Nabiki just shook her head in amusement as she ate her lunch with her associates and few so called friends. All they kept talking about was the two newest addition to Furikan High School. The Saotome Brothers. Both were regarded as the two finest male specimens in Furikan. The girls giggled as they kept stealing glances at Ryoga and Ranma's group.
"They're so dreamy!" stated Kikuko as her eyes began to gloss over and stars started to appear in her eyes..
"Ewww! Stop drooling Kikuko!" replied Ryonami who unfortunately seating next to the girl.
"They're so hot! It has to be illegal to have both guys in the same space!." stated Mai as they continued their conversation.
"Any idea where they come from?" Asked Hiroko. As soon as the question was asked, everyone stopped talking and all turned their attention to Nabiki. Expecting an answer.
She was calm and collected and smirked at all of them, then glancing at the group where she had noticed Ranma has noticed the other ogling them. She met his gaze before turning to the other girls.
"They aint all that." was her cool reply.
Kikuko face faulted. The other girls began to giggle at her response. Trust Nabiki to say what's in her mind. They were enjoying their little talk when Ryonami spoke up.
"Watch out girls Bitch Patrol." Ryonami stated as she eyed Mariko's Group heading their way.
"Oh! Oh!" murmured Kikuko.
"What do they want?" asked Mai in irritation. She hated dealing with Mariko's group. They think they're all that and it always got on her nerves.
"Sempai?" Hiroko's worried response as she estimated the group of cheerleader's where heading their way.
"Let me handle this ladies." came Nabiki's calm response. She already knows what this is all about.
When the group finally approached their group Nabiki didn't rise up. She only gave Mariko a fake smile and surprise when she arrived.
"Why hello Mariko-san! What a surprise! What can we do for you today ladies?" she asked dripping with sarcasm.
"Cut the crap Tendo! You know very well why I'm here! I told you to stay away from him!" came Mariko's angry reply. Her cronies behind her began to eye each of Nabiki's companions. Studying them. Sneering at them.
"Why Mariko, I have no idea what you are talking about! And even if I did, How could I conduct my business if I do not deal with him. He is my biggest client you know." Nabiki replied feigning innocence.
"I'm warning you Tendo stay away from Kuno Sempai!." Mariko angrily spat. As she took a step closer to Nabiki emphasizing her threat.
When Mariko advanced, Kikuko, Ryonami, Mai and Hiroko stood in her way. Which prompted Mariko's cronies.
Meanwhile, in another part of the school. Akane had witnessed what had transpired between the two groups. She quickly got up and ran towards where her sister was sitting, followed by her two best friends Sayuri and Yuka.
"Are you too much of a coward to hide behind your lackeys to face me Nabiki?" Mariko angrily said as she watched Nabiki's friends block her way. Her cronies laughed sinisterly.
Nabiki was now pissed. No one calls her a coward! No one! She then stood up and gently pushed her friends away so she is now in front of Mariko. Face to face.
"Well, well, well, look here girls! The Ice queen has a spine after all or is it Ice Bitch!" Mariko quipped. As she gave Nabiki an angry sneer.
"Stick and Stones may break my bones, Mariko but your Breath positively reeks!" Replied Nabiki, as her companions now began to laugh and other who have heard her remark.
"You'll pay for that Bitch!" Mariko screamed as she was about to Slap Nabiki when her hand was stopped in midair.
"Somehow I don't think so Mariko-san, why don't you and your little group bounce along now and play somewhere else" came Akane's cool reply as she tightened her grip on Mariko's wrist. She had just reach her sister in time.
Nabiki was fuming. GREAT! JUST GREAT! NOW MY LITTLE SISTER IS TRYING TO DEFEND ME! She gave her sister an annoyed look before whispering to her so that only she could hear.
"You don't have to do this Akane. I can perfectly take care of myself." she hissed at her sister.
"I know that Nabiki. But Mariko isn't a common thug. She is a martial artist! I doubt you'll be any match to her." came Akane's reply.
"What wrong Nabiki? Your now letting your sister do your dirty work for you?" sneered Mariko as she managed to tear her hand from Akane's hold.
By now, a crowd had gathered around them. Mariko's raised voice had attracted a lot of attention and now they were right in the middle of it. But before anyone had entirely absorbed the situation one of Mariko's cronies Attacked Akane. Then like a domino effect, the two groups of girls charged at each other! All they heard was the excited call of Hiroshi and Daisuke. "CAT FIGHT!!!"
Both Ryoga and Ranma had now made through the crowd. Pushing their way through so that they could be closer to the action. No one dared to stop the fight, instead they were egging it on. Ranma and Ryoga spotted Akane blocking Mariko's attacks towards Nabiki. Nabiki in the other hand was defending herself from Mariko's cronies attacks. Nabiki was glad she kept up her martial arts practice and some from Kodachi's or else she would have been in real hot water. She managed to avoid attacks by twisting her body and managed to defend her self, but she feared she can't keep it up for long. She wasn't a trained fighter. It was especially hard to vead the attacks and defend herself at the same time when Most of the attacks were generated towards her!
Nabiki's friends tried their best to guard her, but even they weren't trained in the art and can only do so much. It was only Nabiki and Akane who was really doing all the fighting. Mariko then smirked and dodged Akane. She jumped over Akane as Akane threw a punch towards her, Mariko landed behind Akane and gave her a round house kick. Mariko then somersaulted and landed face to face with Nabiki.
This has gone far enough thought Ranma. He was about to intervene, when a thunderous voice echoed through them.
"CEASE AND DECEASE!" came the thunderous voice which came from a man sporting a bokken and a kendo garb.
Everyone froze.
Kuno Tatewaki made his way towards the crowd. The crowd parted as he entered the supposedly ring. Everyone was deathly silent. Nabiki could have sworn she can hear a tumble weed roll on by.
Mariko quivered. "Kuno Sempai."
"HOW DARE YOU LAY A HAND ON MY BEAUTIOUS AKANE!" Kuno glared at Mariko.
"She interfered." Mariko replied, finding a bit more courage now. "This was supposed to be between me and her sister. She had no business intervening." she added acidly.
"Nonetheless, you have posed as a threat to my beloved. I Tatewaki Kuno, Blue Thunder of Furikan cannot permit this." he replied. Before a streak of thunder and lightning flashed through the clear horizon.
There were numerous murmurs that began. There was a couple that Ranma managed to make out.
"Blue Thunder? I thought he called himself Shooting Star?""More like a Royal Blunder if you asked me...."
"I though he used to be Streaking Star?"
"By streaking you mean like a Flasher? or A nude person running around?"
"EWWW!! GROSSE! I just had a mental image of a very nude KUNO!
"He called himself Samurai Man before too.""EWW!! Another mental image!!!! AARRRGGGHHH!!!"
"RAYMAN?"
"NO! ITS Samurai Man you IDIOT! Rayman is a game."
Ranma then noticed that most were now turning their attention to the mall girl's (Nabiki's) companions. As if asking them for information.
"Sempai? Any ideas on this?" asked one of Nabiki's companions.
"Nope sounds new to me. Make a note of it." came her reply.
"As I was saying." continued Kuno. "Your unwarranted attack on my beloved cannot go unpunished." He then turned his attention towards Mariko.
Mariko visibly quivered.
"But I am also a man, and as a man I cannot hit a woman. Its unmanly. Therefore apologise to my beloved or fear the wrath of the Blue Thunder!" he replied. Again Thunder and lightning streaked the horizon.
"Whoa! How does he do that?" came Ranma's astonished reply.
"Special effects?" answered Ryoga.
To everyone's surprise, Mariko complied to Kuno's demand. She went to Akane and apologised to her, through gritted teeth before turning to Nabiki. "This isn't over." then left the crowd followed by her cronies.
The crowd then began to disperse. Only a few lingered around, including Kuno. Nabiki then checked her colleagues, they suffered a few scratches but other than that they were okay.
"Hiroko, I'd like you and the girls go to the infirmary." she ordered.
"But we are all fine, see." she showed Nabiki her cuts.
"I know but you need to get cleaned up, who knows where those girls have been?" Nabiki replied smirking.
"Sempai's right." agreed Ryonami.
"She's always right." piped up Kikuko.
"You know she's right, who knows if those bitches have rabies, I for one don't want to catch any of their germs." laughed Mai.
They all laughed as they made jokes of their scrapes and proud that they manage to rip off some of the cheer leaders' hairs, they continued talking merrily, and didn't notice that Kuno was still in the area.
"Excuse me ladies, Tendo Nabiki a word please." he said seriously before looking at the other girls. "In private."
Nabiki gave the other girls a nod, then the other girls left towards the infirmary.
"Now what is it that you wanted to talk about Kuno-chan.?" she asked.
"Not here, I'd like to talk to you in private and that's what I intend to do. We can talk at the Oak tree behind the school." he pointed out.
"Very well then, lead the way." She replied.
"Man, What was that all about?" wondered Ranma.
"You guys just witnessed, probably the best fight in the history of Furikan." replied Hiroshi.
"What do you mean?" asked Ryoga.
"The cat fight between Konjo Mariko and Tendo Nabiki." Daisuke answered.
Both Saotomes visibly shivered when the word "cat" was mentioned. Which was gone unnoticed by their friends.
"What's so special about them any ways?" asked Ryoga.
"Because my dear Ryoga." Hiroshi then placed his arm over his shoulder before continuing. "Mariko is the head cheerleader of Furikan's Cheerleading team, she also one of Furikan's social elite class. She also has a grudge on the resident Ice queen and mercenary of Furikan, Who happens to be Akane Tendo's older sister Nabiki."
"That's right." agreed Daisuke. "There's rumour's going on that its because of Kuno, but for some reason that's highly impossible since Kuno and Nabiki can't stand each other, and Nabiki only uses Kuno as her personal cash cow." he concluded.
"And how the hell do you know all this?" asked Ranma. so her name's Nabiki he thought to himself.
"Simple, I used to go out with one of Nabiki's friends, Kikoku." Daisuke replied.
"I still don't see what's so great about them fighting?" stated Ryoga.
"Incase you haven't realised Ryoga, both Nabiki and Mariko are hot! And if they happen to tear their clothes apart during the fight…." Hiroshi left the final words linger as he began to picture the two girls tear each others clothes off, his eyes went glassy and was now drooling.
Ryoga then began to blush as Hirsohi's words sunk in. He's nose also began to bleed a bit.
"What makes the fight so terrific is that it featured the three top women of Furikan High!" Daisuke pointed out. "They are also the most unattainable women in Furikan."
"What do you mean?" Asked Ranma curiously.
"Exactly what I just said." Daisuke said before continuing. "Mariko is totally head over heels for Kuno, Akane is the number one Tomboy of Furikan and her sister Nabiki is the Ice queen, one date with her and you'll be drained all of your money."
" I can vote for that one." Hiroshi added solemnly. "I learned that the hard way, but she sexy as hell though." he recovered swiftly.
Ranma then placed his hand underneath his chin and rubbed it, like he had an invisible beard or something like it, as the other guys continued their conversation. He saw Nabiki in his peripheral vision, accompanied by the Kuno guy. They left the premises together.
"Are you sure that Kuno guy and that Nabiki chic despises each other?" he turned to ask them.
"Yup! Positive why?" asked Hiroshi.
"Interesting." as Ranma continued to rub his jaw.
