Chapter one
* *: Panda sign
# #: Writers comment
: Thoughts
*Wait son, where are you going? Come back here.* We see a young redhead being chased by a panda through the streets of Tokyo. Well okay not just any panda, she is being chased by a panda holding a sign. The panda threw the sign at the young girl, who dodged it, grabbed it and the read it.
"Where the hell do you think? I am going to the Tendo dojo, didn't you make a promise to go there?" The redhead was running away from the panda.
The panda seeing this was getting nowhere decided to attack the girl, he dashed forward and tried to grab her. The young girl hearing the panda come closer dodged the panda, grabbed the wrist and jumped up into the air. After jumping up for about 8 meters she shoulder threw the panda into ground, creating pandacake or short: pancake.
The panda managed to pull out a sign just before he was thrown into the ground. *Oh, oh, this is going to hurt a lot.* And yes it did hurt, only for a fraction of a second when the panda became one with the road.
The girl looked at the pancake. "Man what's with him first he wanted me to go and now he tries to stop me. Oh well he wil be out for about 2 hours so might as well drag his sorry carcass with me." She picked up the pancake and dragged it in the direction she was heading before.
Meanwhile at the Tendo dojo, three young girls and an older man where gathered in the living room. "Ranma and his father have been training and traveling through China on foot and before that Ranma has been to America for four years training with a cousin of his."
One of the girls piped up. "Wow they went all the way to America."
One of the girls, who was wearing gi spoke up. "What's so great about China and America, he's just a boy."
"I just hope he is older then me, younger men are boring." The oldest looking of the three said.
All of a sudden some noise could be heard coming from the front door. "Sounds like we got visitors, maybe it's them." The older man got up, soon followed by the middle daughter. They ran to the door but soon came running back like crazy, they where being followed by a young redhead carrying a huge panda.
The man stopped and the three daughters hid behind his back looking at the redhead and panda. "Daddy do you know them?"
The man shook his head like crazy and answered. "No I don't."
The young redhead looked at the scared people in front of her and smirked.
"Excuse me who are you and why is that panda with you?" The man stepped forward and looked at the young redhead. She/he was wearing black pants, and a black silk shirt, with devil written on the back in kanji. He then looked at the panda or better known as pancake.
"The name's Ranma Saotome and that fluffy pancake behind me is my sorry excuse for a father." The redhead extended his/her right hand.
"You mean, your finally here, oh happy day." The older man grabbed Ranma by the shoulders and tried to hug Ranma. There was only a slight problem, Ranma jumped away from his gasp. "Wait just one minute please. Before you get all excited and all I have something to tell or better yet show you."
"Oh, and what is that?"
"Like I said, I'm Ranma Saotome your friend, Genma's son. But we have been though something that might be a problem." Ranma was still a few feet away from the man, preventing him from grabbing her.
This got the attention of the older man. "Oh and what might that be?"
"Well, mister...?"
"Oh my name is Tendo Soun and these are my daughters." He turned and pointed at the three girls behind him. "This I my oldest daughter Kasumi, she is 19, Nabiki 17 and last Akane and she is 16."
"Ah, nice to meet ya all. Like I was saying, there might be a small problem. If you would be so kind as to get me two kettles with water."
"Two?"
"Yes, one with boiling hot water and one with warm water."
"I will get those daddy." Kasumi got up and went over to the kitchen, after a few minutes she came back with two kettles.
"Here you go Ranma, watch it this one is hot so here use this towel." Kasumi handed a towel and the kettles to Ranma.
"Oh don't worry, I don't need the towel." Ranma took the two kettles with her bare hands. She then poured the boiling water over the panda behind her.
"SSSHHHHH...... YYYYEEEEOOOOOUUUUCCCCHHHH, THAT'S HHHHOOOOTTTT." In the blink of an eye, the panda turned into a man and jumped up huffing and puffing. He then looked at Ranma, she had and evil grin on her face. "Why you.." The man jumped forward and tried to grab Ranma, yet he only met air and when he looked for Ranma he saw her above him still holding the kettles and grinning even more evil."
"Oh dad why don't you shut up for a while okay?" With that said Ranma brought a new game into the world: How to fit an old fat guy into a kettle. The answer to this is: Leave it to Ranma. After having stuffed her father into the kettle she threw it out, making sure to not throw it in the koi- pond.
All of the people witnessing this, where amazed, how could someone like that fit into a kettle. They decided not to think about it to much. They did came to a conclusion though, being stuffed into a kettle like that had to hurt. After getting rid of his father Ranma again turned to the people before her. "Okay now that is my old man, Genma Saotome. Now like I said there is a problem it being this." Ranma had put down the kettle and lifted her shirt, underneath where a pair of breasts.
"What the. Hey wait a minute, didn't you say that your friend had a son?" Nabiki looked at her father with an angry look.
Soun could only nod his head.
"Well do these look like something belonging to a male?" Nabiki tried to though Ranma's breasts but was slapped on the hand.
"Uh uh look but no touching please and before you all freak out, yes he had a son and I'm that son. Like I said we ran into a small problem in China. Just wait while I change back okay?" Ranma lifted the other kettle above her head and emptied it.
"What do you mean change back..?" Soon the four people found themselves looking at a healthy young man standing before them. The shirt he was wearing hugged his upper body and he had a long black pigtail down to his waist. "Ah that's better." His voice was now a lot deeper and heavier. "Ok now let me explain to you what happened to us in China okay?"
All four nodded at the same time.
#I am not going to go through the entire Jusenkyo story. It went the same way as in the novel. Ok with one slight difference: After falling into the pool Ranma surfaced and found out he was a female now, but instead of screaming she sighed, then growled and lunged at his father. She then proceeded to pound Genma to a pulp, all the time cursing and swearing at him. After about 30 minutes of pounding she stopped and looked at herself and after thinking about it she decided to live with it, just another secret in Ranma's life.#
After having told the entire story, minus the pound Genma part, to bloody, Ranma looked at the people before him and waited for everything to sink in.
"I see well then that isn't so bad, you are still a man at hart. Well like is said earlier, these are my three daughters, Kasumi, Nabiki and Akane. Chose one of them and she will be your fiancée."
Ranma looked at the three girls before him. Hmm let's see, Kasumi is pretty but she seems too demure. Nabiki, according to my cousin she is known as the ice queen and she will most likely try and make money of my curse so she is out of the question. Now then there is Akane, she is the tomboy of the family and also the only one here interested in martial arts, heck she's cute and interested in the Arts. She also looks like... She also seems to have a fire within almost like... No no time to think about that, I promised her. "I choose Akane."
Akane hearing a boy choose her, nearly freaks out but on the other hand, from what Ranma had been showing. He was supposed to be a good martial artist. "And why should I agree with your choice Ranma, heck why did you choose me?"
"Well you seem to be the only one interested in the Art and the one who is supposed to be my fiancée had better be able to defend herself in a fight." Ranma slowly got up and made his way towards Akane.
"Oh and what makes you think I am interested in martial arts?" Akane looked at Ranma and well she had to admit he was handsome but she already had someone else she wanted. She also didn't like the idea of being forced into an engagement.
Ranma smiled and got even closer to Akane. "Let's just say that the guy kind of gave it away and also the way you talk, you've got spunk and I like that. So what do you say we find out how good you are?"
"Sure, I just hope you don't like losing to a girls oh and also don't go easy on me because I'm a girl." Akane got up and went over to the dojo, with Ranma behind her.
"Oh don't worry, my cousin told me never to underestimate a girl. And my aunt showed me never to underestimate them." Ranma had picked up his pack and was now following Akane towards the dojo.
"Yes, about your cousin. Who is he, I'm curious to know what family you have in America? I heard you spend 4 years there." Akane walked over to the other side of the dojo and got into a ready stance.
Ranma walked over to the other side of the dojo and put down his pack and faced Akane. "His name is Dante and he is what you would call a private eye, yet a special one. My aunt is Trish and together with Dante they have been training me and to tell the truth they are good, at first I thought I would be able to beat them in no time flat but I soon found out that they where good. I got my ass kicked plenty of times before I was able to stand up to them. After those four years I had gotten a lot better and was even able to beat them in some cases, but I do have to say that those lessons where the hardest I ever had. But that's enough about them, I will tell you more about them later, okay?"
"Sure but like I said you better not underestimate me."
"Oh I won't." Ranma then got into a stance of his own. "Let's begin."
Akane wasted no time and raced towards Ranma, intend on finishing him of right here and now. When she was close enough she punched at Ranma. She was surprised when she saw Ranma dodge the attack as if it was nothing. She didn't get time to think about it for Ranma grabbed her hand and threw her to the other side of the dojo, where she landed HARD. OUCH, he's a lot better then I thought.
Akane got up and prepared for another attack, but she was to late. Ranma after having thrown Akane had raced towards her and now was close enough to attack. He opened his fist, he was sure that Akane was not as strong as she had let him on. He then slammed an open palm in her chest, knocking her into the wall with a loud thud. To Akane that palm strike had felt like a truck knocking her over, she slumped to the ground and tried to catch her breath.
Ranma seeing Akane winded decided that the fight was over for now. He walked over to Akane and extended his hand. "Take my hand."
Akane looked at Ranma and then at his hand end decided to take him up on his offer. "Thanks, you're good. Glad I lost to you and not to someone at my school, even though I still hate to lose to a boy."
After helping her up Ranma looked at Akane and smiled. "Well I have to say that you are pretty good compared to many people I know. But you still need a lot of practice before you are able to beat me. If you are willing, I will help you with your training."
Akane was surprised hearing that someone who was, even though she would never say it aloud, way way way better then her offer her to train with him. Hmm why not, he seems like a good trainer and at least he takes me serious. But next time I hope he doesn't hit me in the chest so hard, he nearly knocked my lungs out.
They both headed over towards the dojo, when they got there they saw a kettle bouncing in the middle of the room. "He, looks like my old man wants out of the kettle. Say Akane is it okay if I take a bath?"
"Hmm sure, no problem. But what about your father?" Akane looked at the bouncing kettle.
"Oh just pour some cold water in the kettle. Which way to the bathroom?" Ranma looked at the kettle and smirked, he had never guessed that his father would fit in there so easily.
"I'll show you, follow me." Akane then lead the way to the bathroom and showed him. "Call me when you're done so I can take a bath?"
"Sure no prob." Ranma closed the door to take a nice hot bath, it had been a while since he was able to just soak and relax.
Akane came down to the living room and saw that the kettle was still bouncing around. She went to the kitchen to get some cold water like Ranma said. "Mister Saotome if you can hear me, stop hopping about so I can get you out of there." Genma hearing Akane tell him that she will get him out, stops his struggle and waits.
Akane walks up to the kettle and pours the cold water I and waits, she doesn't have to wait long. The second the water was poured. The kettle started to shake and POOF, instant panda, just ad water.
Genma, glad to be freed from the confinements of the kettle stretches and holds up a sign. *Sorry if my son caused any trouble* flip, turns around the sign, *Hope he didn't resist to choose a fiancée.* flip, *Could you please get me some hot water to change back.*
Kasumi got up. "Sure Mister Saotome, I will get, boiling was it not?"
Flip, *No warm water will be just fine Kasumi, thank you.* Genma then turned to Genma and again flipped the sign, *So how did he take it?*
Soun was silent for a few moments, contemplating on how there could be sides to a normally two sided sign. After some contemplating he decided to take it as it was. "To be honest, he had no trouble to choose a fiancée, he chose Akane and they have been sparring in the dojo. Your son is taking a bath now."
Right then Kasumi entered the room with the warm water and poured it over the panda, changing him into a man again. "That's good to hear, I was afraid he would be trouble when he had to chose someone, I'm glad he is taking it so good." Genma then turned to Akane. "So and what do you think of my son?"
"He's seems to be a nice boy, good martial artist. He even offered to help me train, he at least is willing to take me serious as a martial artist." Akane had to admit that Ranma had some charm over him, he also had an air of power and confidence.
"I'm glad to hear that. So Tendo what do you say to a game of Shogi?"
Soun, hearing Shogi come up immediately is al ear. "Yes my old friend, let's play." Soun pulled out a Shogi board out of nowhere and they sat down to play.
"Kasumi went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Nabiki sat back down to watch some TV and Akane went outside to break some bricks.
Ranma was in the tub relaxing, his eyes where closed. Suddenly a small dark blob appeared on the floor of the bathroom and it slowly grew until it was about 1 meter in diameter. Slowly the blob started to grow in height and after soon a form broke though the surface. The thing was about 6 feet tall and fairly muscular. It had red glowing eyes and a lot of sharp looking teeth. It's hands looked like knives. It stepped out of the blob and sneaked over to the tub, where Ranma was still sitting with his eyes closed. Feh, look at him as if he is safe from us anywhere. The monster came near the furo, ready to kill Ranma with one swipe of it's claws.
"Looks like they found me and sent a messenger boy to do their dirty work." The monster stopped dead in his tracks when Ranma spoke. Ranma opened his eyes and looked at the monster. "Looks like they send a Troglodyte, to do a demons job."
The Troglodyte had regained some of its composure. "Do you really think they would send a higher demon to get rid of such a puny human?"
Ranma got up from the tub, still naked, his body was well build and there where some scars on his chest. "Well right now I don't feel like talking to a doormat from hell so why don't we get this over with you shithead." He stepped out of the tub and the Troglodyte backed of a bit. It had heard stories about this young human, it heard that he was able to kill demons. He was supposed to have a couple of guns that could shred a demon to pieces. That was why he decided to wait with attacking Ranma until he was sure he would be unarmed.
"Very well, the sooner you are gone, the sooner we can begin with our plan." The Troglodyte waved his arms and in a flash they disappeared from the bathroom and reappeared in an abandoned building in the vicinity of the dojo.
Ranma looked at his surroundings and sighed, like I thought you have no taste what so ever. Well I'm ready and waiting so come on and take your best shot. Ranma dropped into a ready stance and smiled. He did wish that he had his guns with him so he could finish this piece of shit of without getting dirty, not that he didn't like to rip a demon to pieces.
"You truly think that you can beat me with your bare hands, I know of your guns so I waited until you where unarmed. After I am done with you I will ill everyone you know just for the fun of it. I'll start with that bitch of a fiancée. What do you say about that you pathetic coward" The Troglodyte licked his lips with a snakelike tongue.
If there was one thing Ranma could not stand, it was being called a coward of pathetic. But what made him really angry was that the Troglodyte threatened to kill innocent people just for the fun of it. Dante had leaned him that anyone who dared to attack innocent deserved to die a painful dead if that was possible. Ranma's blood was now boiling of anger, he would enjoy ripping this demon limb from limb. With a low and seemingly calm voice he spoke. "It looks like you got your information from a bad source."
"I don't care what you say human, I will kill you now." The Troglodyte didn't waste any time and moved in for the kill. It closed the gap between him and Ranma in a second and lashed out with his claws.
Ranma seeing the Troglodyte move prepared himself and waited. He knew the speed of these things and the attacks it would use so he was not worried. When he saw the attack coming he simply stepped out of the way, he wouldn't even need his powers to kill this shit-head.
The Troglodyte was shocked when Ranma simply sidestepped his attack, no human could be this fast. He was even more surprised when Ranma grabbed the Troglodyte's wrist and squeezed. What the hell, his grip it's like that of a pit-fiend so strong. I have to... "CRACK." A sickening sound could be heard coming from the wrist, it shattered under Ranma's pressure. "AAAHHHH, this is impossible how can you do this. The Troglodyte was still staring at it's wrist and lashed out with his other claw, Ranma saw it coming and jumped out of the way, releasing the Troglodyte.
The Troglodyte stared at its shattered wrist and then at Ranma, when his eyes met Ranma he was stunned. Ranma was standing there, a red aura surrounding him and his eyes had turned into globes of fire. "W-w-w-what are you, you can't be human?"
Ranma was looking at the Troglodyte, his blood still boiling. He had so hoped for some piece and quiet after he left the States. "Do you really think I am just a mere human? It seems they didn't tell you about who or what I am." Ranma's voice was a deep one, so deep it would could make the ground shake if he put some force behind it. "When you see your makers tell them I will not stand by and let them threaten me or anyone I know. If they as much as blink at someone, I will kill them. Oh wait a minute where I am sending you, you won't be able to tell your masters, Ha, ha." Ranma started to laugh a deep evil laugh.
The Troglodyte heard the laugh and felt his anger rise, he would not allow himself to be beaten by this punk. It extended his claws and attacked with full force. "WHHHAAAAAA."
Ranma saw the Troglodyte coming and stopped laughing, he put up his fists and waited. As soon as the Troglodyte was about 5 meters away from him, he seemed to disappear. The Troglodyte stopped when he saw his target disappear. "What the hell, where did he go?"
"Right here fuckhead." The Troglodyte felt a tap on his shoulders just when he was about to turn around, Ranma attacked. He smashed his fist through the monsters head, killing it instantly. Yet he wasn't finished yet he threw the monster up in the air and caught it with both hands. He took hold of its upper and lower body and then ripped it into two pieces. Blood flew everywhere and Ranma was bathed in it. After ripping it into pieces he threw the body parts away and watched as the body slowly dissolved into nothing. Ranma then looked at himself and sighed. "Man I'm a mess, o well better try and get back without being seen and get cleaned up. Ranma got out of the building and was glad to see it raining, this allowed him to wash some of the blood of before he reached the Tendo's. He made it to the roofs and with and amazing skill made it to the dojo and sneaked into the bathroom window. "Good I'm back, I hope no one saw me. Better finish up here and get back downstairs." Ranma finished cleaning up, removed any blood he left behind and stepped into the dressing room. He put on his pants and grabbed his shirt and stepped out of the room.
Akane was on her way to the bathroom. "I hope he is done, he has been in there for some time and dinner will be done soon." Just when she was about to open the door to the bathroom, it opened and out stepped Ranma. He was only wearing his pants and had his shirt in his hands. Akane's face turned red when she looked at his chest, he was well build.
Ranma saw Akane stand there with a red face. "You can take a bath now if you want. Oh and better be careful, looks like you are catching a cold. Your face is all red." Ranma smiled and went downstairs, while putting on his shirt.
Akane had not been able to see he was smiling because she was looking at the floor. She stepped into the dressing part of the bathroom and sighed. "Why am I so warm, and what was with those scars on his chest, they looked like gun shot wounds." Akane had seen what old gunshot wounds look like on TV and those looked just like them. "Oh well ask about those some other time better get cleaned up, dinner is about ready.
To be continued.
Well it's done, hope you liked it, please let me know. For those of you wondering, I had the impresion, that if Ranma had been honest about his curce from the start and if he took Akane serious from the start, she would accept him a lot easier.
Next time Ranma will go and meet Kuno. Kuno will not like it, I can tell you that.

Ranma smiled and got even closer to Akane. "Let's just say that the guy kind of gave it away and also the way you talk, you've got spunk and I like that. So what do you say we find out how good you are?"
"Sure, I just hope you don't like losing to a girls oh and also don't go easy on me because I'm a girl." Akane got up and went over to the dojo, with Ranma behind her.
"Oh don't worry, my cousin told me never to underestimate a girl. And my aunt showed me never to underestimate them." Ranma had picked up his pack and was now following Akane towards the dojo.
"Yes, about your cousin. Who is he, I'm curious to know what family you have in America? I heard you spend 4 years there." Akane walked over to the other side of the dojo and got into a ready stance.
Ranma walked over to the other side of the dojo and put down his pack and faced Akane. "His name is Dante and he is what you would call a private eye, yet a special one. My aunt is Trish and together with Dante they have been training me and to tell the truth they are good, at first I thought I would be able to beat them in no time flat but I soon found out that they where good. I got my ass kicked plenty of times before I was able to stand up to them. After those four years I had gotten a lot better and was even able to beat them in some cases, but I do have to say that those lessons where the hardest I ever had. But that's enough about them, I will tell you more about them later, okay?"
"Sure but like I said you better not underestimate me."
"Oh I won't." Ranma then got into a stance of his own. "Let's begin."
Akane wasted no time and raced towards Ranma, intend on finishing him of right here and now. When she was close enough she punched at Ranma. She was surprised when she saw Ranma dodge the attack as if it was nothing. She didn't get time to think about it for Ranma grabbed her hand and threw her to the other side of the dojo, where she landed HARD. OUCH, he's a lot better then I thought.
Akane got up and prepared for another attack, but she was to late. Ranma after having thrown Akane had raced towards her and now was close enough to attack. He opened his fist, he was sure that Akane was not as strong as she had let him on. He then slammed an open palm in her chest, knocking her into the wall with a loud thud. To Akane that palm strike had felt like a truck knocking her over, she slumped to the ground and tried to catch her breath.
Ranma seeing Akane winded decided that the fight was over for now. He walked over to Akane and extended his hand. "Take my hand."
Akane looked at Ranma and then at his hand end decided to take him up on his offer. "Thanks, you're good. Glad I lost to you and not to someone at my school, even though I still hate to lose to a boy."
After helping her up Ranma looked at Akane and smiled. "Well I have to say that you are pretty good compared to many people I know. But you still need a lot of practice before you are able to beat me. If you are willing, I will help you with your training."
Akane was surprised hearing that someone who was, even though she would never say it aloud, way way way better then her offer her to train with him. Hmm why not, he seems like a good trainer and at least he takes me serious. But next time I hope he doesn't hit me in the chest so hard, he nearly knocked my lungs out.
They both headed over towards the dojo, when they got there they saw a kettle bouncing in the middle of the room. "He, looks like my old man wants out of the kettle. Say Akane is it okay if I take a bath?"
"Hmm sure, no problem. But what about your father?" Akane looked at the bouncing kettle.
"Oh just pour some cold water in the kettle. Which way to the bathroom?" Ranma looked at the kettle and smirked, he had never guessed that his father would fit in there so easily.
"I'll show you, follow me." Akane then lead the way to the bathroom and showed him. "Call me when you're done so I can take a bath?"
"Sure no prob." Ranma closed the door to take a nice hot bath, it had been a while since he was able to just soak and relax.
Akane came down to the living room and saw that the kettle was still bouncing around. She went to the kitchen to get some cold water like Ranma said. "Mister Saotome if you can hear me, stop hopping about so I can get you out of there." Genma hearing Akane tell him that she will get him out, stops his struggle and waits.
Akane walks up to the kettle and pours the cold water I and waits, she doesn't have to wait long. The second the water was poured. The kettle started to shake and POOF, instant panda, just ad water.
Genma, glad to be freed from the confinements of the kettle stretches and holds up a sign. *Sorry if my son caused any trouble* flip, turns around the sign, *Hope he didn't resist to choose a fiancée.* flip, *Could you please get me some hot water to change back.*
Kasumi got up. "Sure Mister Saotome, I will get, boiling was it not?"
Flip, *No warm water will be just fine Kasumi, thank you.* Genma then turned to Genma and again flipped the sign, *So how did he take it?*
Soun was silent for a few moments, contemplating on how there could be sides to a normally two sided sign. After some contemplating he decided to take it as it was. "To be honest, he had no trouble to choose a fiancée, he chose Akane and they have been sparring in the dojo. Your son is taking a bath now."
Right then Kasumi entered the room with the warm water and poured it over the panda, changing him into a man again. "That's good to hear, I was afraid he would be trouble when he had to chose someone, I'm glad he is taking it so good." Genma then turned to Akane. "So and what do you think of my son?"
"He's seems to be a nice boy, good martial artist. He even offered to help me train, he at least is willing to take me serious as a martial artist." Akane had to admit that Ranma had some charm over him, he also had an air of power and confidence.
"I'm glad to hear that. So Tendo what do you say to a game of Shogi?"
Soun, hearing Shogi come up immediately is al ear. "Yes my old friend, let's play." Soun pulled out a Shogi board out of nowhere and they sat down to play.
"Kasumi went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Nabiki sat back down to watch some TV and Akane went outside to break some bricks.
Ranma was in the tub relaxing, his eyes where closed. Suddenly a small dark blob appeared on the floor of the bathroom and it slowly grew until it was about 1 meter in diameter. Slowly the blob started to grow in height and after soon a form broke though the surface. The thing was about 6 feet tall and fairly muscular. It had red glowing eyes and a lot of sharp looking teeth. It's hands looked like knives. It stepped out of the blob and sneaked over to the tub, where Ranma was still sitting with his eyes closed. Feh, look at him as if he is safe from us anywhere. The monster came near the furo, ready to kill Ranma with one swipe of it's claws.
"Looks like they found me and sent a messenger boy to do their dirty work." The monster stopped dead in his tracks when Ranma spoke. Ranma opened his eyes and looked at the monster. "Looks like they send a Troglodyte, to do a demons job."
The Troglodyte had regained some of its composure. "Do you really think they would send a higher demon to get rid of such a puny human?"
Ranma got up from the tub, still naked, his body was well build and there where some scars on his chest. "Well right now I don't feel like talking to a doormat from hell so why don't we get this over with you shithead." He stepped out of the tub and the Troglodyte backed of a bit. It had heard stories about this young human, it heard that he was able to kill demons. He was supposed to have a couple of guns that could shred a demon to pieces. That was why he decided to wait with attacking Ranma until he was sure he would be unarmed.
"Very well, the sooner you are gone, the sooner we can begin with our plan." The Troglodyte waved his arms and in a flash they disappeared from the bathroom and reappeared in an abandoned building in the vicinity of the dojo.
Ranma looked at his surroundings and sighed, like I thought you have no taste what so ever. Well I'm ready and waiting so come on and take your best shot. Ranma dropped into a ready stance and smiled. He did wish that he had his guns with him so he could finish this piece of shit of without getting dirty, not that he didn't like to rip a demon to pieces.
"You truly think that you can beat me with your bare hands, I know of your guns so I waited until you where unarmed. After I am done with you I will ill everyone you know just for the fun of it. I'll start with that bitch of a fiancée. What do you say about that you pathetic coward" The Troglodyte licked his lips with a snakelike tongue.
If there was one thing Ranma could not stand, it was being called a coward of pathetic. But what made him really angry was that the Troglodyte threatened to kill innocent people just for the fun of it. Dante had leaned him that anyone who dared to attack innocent deserved to die a painful dead if that was possible. Ranma's blood was now boiling of anger, he would enjoy ripping this demon limb from limb. With a low and seemingly calm voice he spoke. "It looks like you got your information from a bad source."
"I don't care what you say human, I will kill you now." The Troglodyte didn't waste any time and moved in for the kill. It closed the gap between him and Ranma in a second and lashed out with his claws.
Ranma seeing the Troglodyte move prepared himself and waited. He knew the speed of these things and the attacks it would use so he was not worried. When he saw the attack coming he simply stepped out of the way, he wouldn't even need his powers to kill this shit-head.
The Troglodyte was shocked when Ranma simply sidestepped his attack, no human could be this fast. He was even more surprised when Ranma grabbed the Troglodyte's wrist and squeezed. What the hell, his grip it's like that of a pit-fiend so strong. I have to... "CRACK." A sickening sound could be heard coming from the wrist, it shattered under Ranma's pressure. "AAAHHHH, this is impossible how can you do this. The Troglodyte was still staring at it's wrist and lashed out with his other claw, Ranma saw it coming and jumped out of the way, releasing the Troglodyte.
The Troglodyte stared at its shattered wrist and then at Ranma, when his eyes met Ranma he was stunned. Ranma was standing there, a red aura surrounding him and his eyes had turned into globes of fire. "W-w-w-what are you, you can't be human?"
Ranma was looking at the Troglodyte, his blood still boiling. He had so hoped for some piece and quiet after he left the States. "Do you really think I am just a mere human? It seems they didn't tell you about who or what I am." Ranma's voice was a deep one, so deep it would could make the ground shake if he put some force behind it. "When you see your makers tell them I will not stand by and let them threaten me or anyone I know. If they as much as blink at someone, I will kill them. Oh wait a minute where I am sending you, you won't be able to tell your masters, Ha, ha." Ranma started to laugh a deep evil laugh.
The Troglodyte heard the laugh and felt his anger rise, he would not allow himself to be beaten by this punk. It extended his claws and attacked with full force. "WHHHAAAAAA."
Ranma saw the Troglodyte coming and stopped laughing, he put up his fists and waited. As soon as the Troglodyte was about 5 meters away from him, he seemed to disappear. The Troglodyte stopped when he saw his target disappear. "What the hell, where did he go?"
"Right here fuckhead." The Troglodyte felt a tap on his shoulders just when he was about to turn around, Ranma attacked. He smashed his fist through the monsters head, killing it instantly. Yet he wasn't finished yet he threw the monster up in the air and caught it with both hands. He took hold of its upper and lower body and then ripped it into two pieces. Blood flew everywhere and Ranma was bathed in it. After ripping it into pieces he threw the body parts away and watched as the body slowly dissolved into nothing. Ranma then looked at himself and sighed. "Man I'm a mess, o well better try and get back without being seen and get cleaned up. Ranma got out of the building and was glad to see it raining, this allowed him to wash some of the blood of before he reached the Tendo's. He made it to the roofs and with and amazing skill made it to the dojo and sneaked into the bathroom window. "Good I'm back, I hope no one saw me. Better finish up here and get back downstairs." Ranma finished cleaning up, removed any blood he left behind and stepped into the dressing room. He put on his pants and grabbed his shirt and stepped out of the room.
Akane was on her way to the bathroom. "I hope he is done, he has been in there for some time and dinner will be done soon." Just when she was about to open the door to the bathroom, it opened and out stepped Ranma. He was only wearing his pants and had his shirt in his hands. Akane's face turned red when she looked at his chest, he was well build.
Ranma saw Akane stand there with a red face. "You can take a bath now if you want. Oh and better be careful, looks like you are catching a cold. Your face is all red." Ranma smiled and went downstairs, while putting on his shirt.
Akane had not been able to see he was smiling because she was looking at the floor. She stepped into the dressing part of the bathroom and sighed. "Why am I so warm, and what was with those scars on his chest, they looked like gun shot wounds." Akane had seen what old gunshot wounds look like on TV and those looked just like them. "Oh well ask about those some other time better get cleaned up, dinner is about ready.
To be continued.
Well it's done, hope you liked it, please let me know. For those of you wondering, I had the impresion, that if Ranma had been honest about his curce from the start and if he took Akane serious from the start, she would accept him a lot easier.
Next time Ranma will go and meet Kuno. Kuno will not like it, I can tell you that.
