Chapter 5
There was a planet called earth, and on this planet was a country called Japan, the capital of Japan was called Tokyo, somewhere in Tokyo was a place called Nerima, in Nerima there is a dojo that belongs to the Tendo family, the Tendo family has a daughter called Nabiki, and at this very moment in time Nabiki is pacing.
"Where could they have gone? No one's seen nor heard of them in over a week! I don't get it; my contacts have never not found someone before! Whats going on?!"
She threw herself onto her bed and thumped the pillow. Growling in annoyance, she rolled onto her back and looked up to the ceiling of her room. She laid like that for a while than a flashing light on her laptop caught her attention.
'New mail'
Was the little flashing icon, sitting up quickly she walked over to her desk and clicked on it.
Hi Nabiki,
It's Ranma and Akane here! Just to thank you for not telling anyone where we went, it really means a
lot to us. By the time you get this email we would have already started training, [the guy said he would send it 3 days after we left at the internet café place] but yeah, we're having fun and learning loads, I'm trying to persuade Ranma to write his own book about different martial arts styles but he wont [at the moment anyway, but he will agree soon - I will not write a book! - yes you will!] yes anyway, say hi to dad, kasumi - and pop - yes and mr panda. We're not sure when we'll be back, but it wont be anytime soon, properly at the end of the summer, in time for the new semester but we're not sure. Any way, we may be able to write to you soon, but if not, have a good summer.
Till we meet again!
Lots of love Akane and Ranma xXx
"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!" Nabiki screamed, soon everyone came running into her room.
"What? What's happened?"
"Akane and Ranma aren't coming back 'till the new semester and they're not even sure if they'll be coming back then either!"
Soun burst into tears "My little baby's run away from home!"
"No, she says they will be back, they just don't know when they'll be back. That's all, they sound like they're having fun though." Kasumi replied after reading the email over her sister's shoulder.
{{{North and a bit west of nerima}}}
"BLOCK! PARRY! DODGE! Okay STOP; now watch our two new students.
The orders were shouted and all the students followed them respectively.
At the very front of the lines stood Ranma and Akane, sparring against each other once again. Akane was improving fast; she was now close to Ukyo's level, 'give her a few more weeks and she'll be equal to shampoo' Ranma was thinking as his dodged his fiancés attacks.
"Stop!" came their sensai' s voice. Ranma and Akane stopped sparring each other and turned to face him. "Can you tell which style they're using?" he was addressing the other students, which were standing behind them in rows.
One student by the name of Li, answered him
"I think it's a style called anything goes"
"You think?" their sensai shot back at him "Don't think, become"
Li tried again "is it a style called anything goes?"
"Don't ask questions boy! Answer them!"
"Sorry sensai, it is a style called anything goes!"
"Correct, everyone I want 50 press-ups, due to Li's lack of answering a question first time. Now!"
All the students began to do the punishment. Both Ranma and Akane completed the task easily, and were holding themselves up in the finished press up position, while all the other students were still on their thirties.
"Saotome, Tendo. Stand up"
"Hai sensai" they both stood before him. The man they had come to learn under was a short grey haired man in his late 50's called Hirotomi, to an untrained eye he would look old and weak, but to Ranma and Akane he held himself as someone with hidden strength. A hidden dragon so to speak.
"Saotome, Tendo. You will be training with sempai Roishikuru, and sempai Johnson. Sempai Johnson is an American student that came over here 14 years ago, Tendo I want you to treat him with the same respect you have treated all your previous sempai' s."
"Hai, sensai!"
Ranma and Akane left with their two new instructors, they followed them to the training grounds behind the temple.
The two sempai' s took a starting stance and waited for Ranma and Akane to mimic them. Smiling at each other they did so, five seconds later the two instructors attacked them. Ranma and Akane both dodged the attacks quickly and countered them easily.
Roishikuru was thrown backwards with the strength of Ranma' s kick and Johnson was knocked to the ground unconscious.
"Oops." Ranma commented, Akane looked over, and frowned at the mess he had caused.
"Honestly Ranma, how do you expect to master this style if you keep beating the masters of it, you keep knocking them out with one punch and you'll never learn anything."
Ranma looked over to Johnson. He was unconscious
"Who are you to talk?" he replied motioning down to where Johnson lay. Akane blushed
"Well I thought he'd be able to take it, how was I supposed to know that he was weak?"
"I assure you Tendo that Johnson is not weak." Their sensei was standing a few feet behind them, "Why aren't you two sparring with Roishikuru and Johnson?"
He hadn't noticed that they were both unconscious.
"Because um, we beat them." Ranma replied.
"You what? No new student can beat them that easily!"
"Nope" Akane replied walking over to Ranma' s side, "WE did. We beat them, and with one punch I might add."
"Kick"
"What?" Akane looked at her fiancé
"I didn't punch him I kicked him."
Akane promptly hit on the back of his head
"That's beside the point, we still won."
"Yeah true. Hey sensei can I watch you spar with Akane?"
"That could be dangerous"
He replied
"Nah, I'll stop Akane if she goes to hard for ya."
He smiled at her. Hirotomi was speechless.
"I didn't mean that, I meant that I could be to strong for her."
"Nah, she's as tough as a brick this one!"
"HEY! Jerk!"
"I was kiddin' chill! Chill!" Ranma was laughing and watching this Akane couldn't help but smile too.
Hirotomi looked thoughtful, "Well okay."
The two faced each other and Ranma stood at the side, "The rules, Three rounds total, winner wins each round by not being knocked down or knocked out. Round one! GO!"
Speeding forwards Akane attacked first with a right jab, followed by left upper cut, Hirotomi dodged, then blocked he countered with a jab of his own which Akane dodged and caught him with a right hook. Hirotomi was sent to the floor.
"Round two! GO!" Ranma was acting judge on the sidelines. Just as the second round began the other students began to wander in, they stopped and stared in shock as they saw one of the newest students throw Hirotomi up into the air then jump up to join him and crescent kick him back down to the ground.
Akane landed softly and regained her stance; Hirotomi stood up slowly and then took the position called cat-stance.
"Round three! Go!"
They shot off again, this time Hirotomi attacked first he sent in a hook kick, which Akane dodged, then followed up with a jumping back kick. This caught her in the stomach and sent her back a few feet. Akane recovered quickly and ran forwards again, closing the gap between them.
"I win"
She said to him and then promptly punched him in the face. Hirotomi flew backwards again and collapsed to the floor.
"Akane wins!" Ranma said loudly, one of the watching sempai ran forward to help Hirotomi, and Ranma joined Akane in the middle of the floor.
"Well done Akane."
"Thanks. You want to have a match?"
Ranma studied her, "Not right now you're tired slightly from the last match. Lets get something to eat, then we can."
"Good I'm starved."
"Saotome Tendo" Hirotomi 's called from behind them. He was being held up by sensai Mikonto. "You are stronger than anyone I've ever faced, you have my respect."
He bowed his head to them, and they returned it. "Sensei if you wish to battle more people of our strength then travel to Nerima in Tokyo. Say that you are a friend to Ranma and Akane and you will immediately attacked by people wanting to know where we are. They should give you a good fight. Just don't tell them where we're going."
"But where are you going?" Hirotomi asked
Ranma shrugged, "No idea. See you around sensei." Then he jumped up onto the rooftop and collected his things from their room then jumped back up onto it to wait for Akane.
"Goodbye sensei." Akane said before joining him, then they disappeared off into the distance.
