: Thoughts



After Ranma was done cleaning the dojo he went back to the house. He wanted to talk to his father, concerning his mother. He opened the door and went to the living room, when he entered he found it empty. Hmm looks like everyone already went to bed already. I'll talk to him tomorrow. Hey wait a minute, I don't know where I sleep in this house. Oh well might as well sleep here in the living room and ask them tomorrow. Ranma turned around to find a place to sleep when Soun stepped in the room and noticed Ranma standing there.

"Ah Ranma, you still awake? You should try and get some sleep, tomorrow is a school day after all and you don't want to sleep late on your first day."

"Huh what do you mean school, I have to go to school?" Ranma didn't like the idea of going to school.

"Yes, you will be staying here for some time and will attend the same school as my little girl Akane. Why, didn't Genma tell you?"

"He didn't tell me anything about this, I don't like the idea of going to school." Ranma answered, a slight amount of anger in his voice.

"Why don't you like school Ranma?"

"When I was in America I had some bad things happen to me when I went to school there. Heck it's been almost four years since I last went to school in the States."

Soun was curious to why Ranma didn't attend school for such a long time. He knew, from what Genma had told him that Ranma was supposed to go to school in America. "Why, what happened to you in America?"

"When I came to America and heard I had to go to school I was pretty excited. Going to school would mean a chance to make some friends. When I was on the road with my father I hardly made any friends. This was mostly due to my fathers "way of life" Alas when I went to school it was a very disappointing experience."

"What do you mean when you say disappointing?"

The first day I went to school was what you might call a disaster. I was teased by a lot of kids because my English simply sucked. I could speak some English but not a lot. Sure I could understand them so I understood almost every insult they threw at me."

Soun could tell Ranma didn't like to speak about these things, yet Soun was still curious to the things Ranma had experienced "Would you mind telling what they called you?"

"Sure. They called me stupid Jap, shorty. Well me being short wasn't strange considering the fact that when I was with my father I usually had very little to eat. The situation hardly changed, over the course of the week even more insults where made up. Many of them very discriminating. They also called me girly boy. Hey can I help it I like a pigtail? Oh well, this went on for about one week, after that it changed."

"What happened?"

During the first week I met a girl, don't ask me about her because I don't want to talk about her just now. I will tell you about her when I feel ready to do so. Let's just say that if things had gone any different, I would not be standing here but be with her at her side. But anyways, I met this girl who offered to help me with my English. I was very glad someone was willing to hang out with me and help me with my English. So she helped me with my English and I helped her to learn Japanese. On the last day I attended school something happened what made me decide to leave school all together. When I came to school I found several boys pestering my friend so I walked up. It seemed they where telling her to stay away from me because I was a bad influence on her and should be ignored. She then told them she would do no such thing and she tried to walk away. One of the boys pushed her back and she fell on the ground. They then threatened to hurt her I she kept hanging out with me. She then told them no matter what they did or said she would keep hanging out with me, so one of the boys punched her in the face. When I saw this happen I couldn't take it anymore, you know what they say, a martial artists duty is to protect people who aren't able to protect themselves. I walked up to the group and pulled the boy on top of my friend of of her and punched him square in the face. The punch was strong enough to shatter his nose and when the others saw this, they attacked me so I defended myself. To make a long story short, I kicked their asses and two of them where sent to the hospital with broken bones. That was the last day I went to school because I didn't want any more to happen to my friend. She kept helping me with my English, so we remained friends and because I was no longer attending their school, she was left alone. I think they where also afraid to get beaten up again." When Ranma was finished he took a deep breath and pushed back his sorrow. Talking about her made him sad.

Ah, I see. Tell me why didn't you help her sooner when she was in trouble?"

"After I had met her, I warned her she might get pestered if she hung out with me. She told me not to worry and even if something happened, I should not interfere, she would take care of it herself. But when I saw her get punched in the face I decided to help her anyway."

"I am glad to see you are someone who takes care of another. I can assure you, Furinkan High school is a very nice school with nice people. Things like you went through in America don't happen here." Soun placed a hand on Ranma's shoulder and gave it a slight squeeze.

"Thanks mister Tendo, I hope your right. Now I think I will go to bed, could you tell me where I can sleep?"

"It's up the stairs and the second door past Akane's room, this is the room with the little duck on the door." Soun as smiled as Ranma turned to go to bed, he then went over to where a small shrine was set up. There was a picture of a young woman on it, she was sitting under a cherry blossom tree. Soun could still remember the day this picture was taken. It was on a spring day … …… ……………………, it was the day Kimiko told him she was pregnant of their third child Akane. Soun kneeled before the shrine and prayed to his long lost wife, lost in flesh but not in soul. "It's been some time since I prayed to you, but I haven't forgotten you. It seems that our families will be joined at last. I know I have never told you about the arrangement me and Genma made, when you where alive. I hope you can forgive me for that but I had to be sure our families would be joined. Today Genma has come with his son Ranma and he has agreed to be engaged with one of our daughters and he has chosen Akane. It seems like our little girl is finally going to grow up. I just hope she will willing to accept Ranma, I told you how her temper has changed ever since you died and how she dislikes boys. Ranma seems like a very nice boy and from what he told me he will take care of anyone in need. I would like to ask you to watch over our little girl and make sure she doesn't do anything foolish. Help her get on with her life for I know for a fact that she misses you very much. We all miss you but it seems like Akane is in the most need of someone who will take care of her. So please help our little Akane." Soun finished his prayer as tears where flowing down his face. He got up and decided to go to bed, so he went upstairs and went to bed. He still cried as he fell asleep.



Ranma was on his futon asleep. When he had gotten there he noticed two futons. He came to the conclusion he would be sharing the room with his father. Genma wasn't in the room so Ranma decided to go to bed and talk to him in the morning. As soon as he was asleep he dreamed. It was not like the dreams he usually had. Usually he would dream of Samantha and how she died and wake up sweating. This time he was dreaming of Samantha and him, they where walking in the park and had sat down on a bench. They looked at the lake. Ranma then got up and kneeled before Samantha. Samantha looked at him and he spoke. "Samantha we know each other for almost 2 years and I have grown to like you very much. I could even say that I love you and would like to ask you to." Ranma took a small box out of his pocket and gave it to Samantha. When she opened it, there was a ring inside. She then looked at Ranma, tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. "Will you be my fiancee Sam?" Ranma looked at Samantha and was dazzled by her smile. Samantha took the ring out and looked at it. "Yes Ranma I would like to be your fiancee." Ranma then placed the ring on her finger and hugged her. "I love you Sam."

Samantha was crying and smiling. "I love you to Ranma and I have something to give you." Ranma backed of a bit and looked at his now fiancee. "Huh, what do you mean?"

Samantha reached in her pocket and took out another small box and handed it to Ranma who opened it. Inside was an engagement ring. "Sam, this is for me?" Ranma looked at the ring and then at Sam. "Yes, I don't know if it's normal for a girl to buy an engagement ring for her boyfriend but I don't care. I wanted to ask you to be my fiancee but it seems you beat me to it. I hope you like the ring." Ranma was silent for several moments and then smiled. "I like it a lot and I don't care if it's unusual, I like the ring and will wear it forever, till death do us part." Samantha then placed the ring on Ranma's finger and they kissed.

Then the image of Samantha was fading and soon he found himself standing in the middle of a dojo. After looking around he recognized it, it was the Tendo dojo. When he looked in front of him he noticed Akane running towards him. When she was close enough she punched at him. He dodged the attack and threw Akane to the other side of the dojo. He then raced towards her and just when she was about to react, he slammed an open palm in her chest.

After Akane was knocked down he walked up to her and gave her a hand to get up. After she was up she told him he was good and she was glad she didn't lose to a boy at her school. She then smiled at him and said something else, only it wasn't the same as she had said before. This time she was saying something completely different. "Wake up lazy, it's time for some exercise."

All of a sudden she felt something cold hit his body and then he or now she was awake. When Ranma's eyes had adapted to the light she saw her father standing there with an empty bucket. "What ya do that for old man?" Ranma sat up in bed and stared at her father.

"Like I said it is time for some practicing? I know we haven't done this ever since you came back from America. Last night I have been thinking about the things you said. Know what? You're right I have been a lousy father and should be ashamed of myself. Lying to you about your mother was the worst thing I could have done to you and I apologize for that." Ranma bowed to Ranma and then continued. "Last night I came to the conclusion I have to start behaving more like a father, the things you have gone through in America are terrible to say the least. I decided to try and be a better father, starting today. When you feel the time is right we will talk about your mother and after I have told you about her you decide if you want to meet her or not. So what do you say we get some training done?" Genma looked at his now female son. He was proud Ranma had grown up to become and excellent martial artist.

When Ranma heard her father apologize her eyes widened and her mouth fell open. Was her father admitting he was wrong and would she finally get a chance to talk about her mother, or even meet her? After contemplating for a few minutes she looked up at her father and grinned. "Sure, let's work out and I am going to show you what I've learned in America. Ranma got up and put on a gi. "And you know what dad I am going to beat you even as a girl."

Genma looked at Ranma and smiled, it had been a long time ever since he had been called dad, without it being an insult. He knew it would take a lot of hard work for Ranma to forgive him. He also knew he would do everything in his power to be the father Ranma deserves.

Ranma and Genma went outside and started their match. They started bouncing around immediately and exchanged blows. To the untrained eye it would seem as if they where even matched but a trained fighter would see that Ranma was winning. Ranma managed to block, dodge or deflect every of Genma's blows. While Genma was getting the crap beaten out of him and soon he found himself falling into the koi-pond. Not long after, a now pandafied Genma came out, smiling at his son. Ranma was standing on a rock when she heard a voice.



Akane opened her eyes and looked at the clock, it was still fairly early. She could hear a lot of noise outside, it sounded like fighting. "Oh man I was sleeping so good, wonder what's going on outside." She got up and stretched, or at least tried to. As soon as she tried to stretch she winced in pain. Her chest was still hurting like hell, from the punch she had received from Ranma the other day. She lifted up her pj's and saw a bruise, no make that the mother of all bruises. The bruise was big, it covered a large part of her chest. "Oh man look at that, just great." Last night she had hoped it would not be so bad but now she knew she was going to be sore for a few days. She just hoped her trip to school would not go as usual, but that was wishful thinking. After carefully getting cleaned up and dressed she decided to skip her morning workout and go downstairs and see where the noise was coming from. As soon as she got downstairs she saw a redhead, she recognized as Ranma, fighting a fat man she knew as Genma. Soon Genma ended up in the pond and Akane again had to admit that Ranma was good, very good. "Good morning Ranma, Mr. Saotome."



Ranma looked in the direction from where the voice came. Standing there was Akane looking and smiling at them. All of a sudden her legs where swept from under her and she ended up in the pond next to her panda-father. Her father was holding up a sign. *Never let your guard,* Flip, he turned the sign, *down.*

Ranma stared at her father, slightly angry but soon smiled, sure pops. It was fun sparring again and look forward to tomorrow morning. Ranma got out of the pond and went upstairs, she still had about 30 minutes before breakfast so decided to take a bath. When she came in the furoba and took of her now wet gi and put it in the hamper. She then got an idea, she locked the door and got in the tub and not soon after she heard a knock on the door and some growling. It was her father who wanted to take a bath also but Ranma felt like taking a bath alone. After rinsing of, she got in the tub and felt herself change back. After about 20 minutes he got out of the tub, dried of and go dressed. He unlocked the door and then heard a voice from downstairs.

"Mr. Saotome, Ranma breakfast is ready." It was Kasumi calling them to have breakfast. Ranma looked at his father and smiled. "Well it looks like you have to chose, have breakfast like that and most likely eat bamboo. Or you could get changed and hope on a normal breakfast, IF there is anything left." Ranma then walked downstairs while he could hear his father think behind him. Soon after that he heard the door to the furoba close and smiled. He would save some food for his father but not much.

Ranma came to the living room and everyone was already there. He sat down and looked at the people with him. Everyone seemed to be in a happy mood, Ranma thought it had something to do with yesterday's events. Soun was looking as if he was in heaven for him it meant the families would finally be joined. He then looked at the food before him and almost fainted. A feast, at least it looked like a feast to him what was in front of him. Never had he seen a breakfast like this ever before, he was sure it would taste just like it looked, FANTASTIC. Ranma looked at Kasumi. "He Kasumi, this looks fantastic bet it tastes good too. If I tastes like the diner we had yesterday, I'll be in heaven for sure."

Ranma's comments made Kasumi blush. "Oh my. Thank you Ranma I hope you like it. I thought you might need a good breakfast before going to school."

"Well I think I will need the energy today." Ranma then decided to dive in and eat.

Unlike the Ranma we know this Ranma has some table manners. Sure he still ate fast as hell but civilized.

As soon as the first bite was in his mouth his expression lit up, it tasted divine. He then looked at the people around him again and saw everyone for Akane eaten to their harts contend. He noticed Akane seemed to have a bit of trouble swallowing. Seeing this he though back to yesterdays sparring match, where he had hit her in the chest. "Hey Akane, you okay?"

Akane looked at Ranma and tried to sound as cheerful as possible. "I'm fine Ranma I'm just not hungry, that's all."

Ranma knew she was lying but didn't want to force her. "Oh okay." Ranma then proceeded to eat and enjoy the food.

When everyone was done Nabiki looked at the clock and got up. "Looks like it's time to go to school. Akane you and Ranma go on ahead, I have to go to a friend of mine." Nabiki picked up her bento and left the house.

"Okay Ranma, follow me." Akane got up and both headed to the front door and left for school.

As soon as Ranma was out the door, he heard his father enter the room asking if there was anything left to eat. Ranma smiled because he knew there was only some rice left and nothing more.

On the way to school Ranma did some thinking and decided to ask Akane a few questions. "Say Akane, mind if I ask you something?"

"I don't mind."

"Yesterday I chose you to be my fiancee and at first you didn't like it. Is that because you already have someone you like?"

Akane nearly tripped when she heard the question. She had to admit she already had someone she liked. She also knew that that person already had someone else he liked. Ranma was also right to say that she didn't like the idea of a boy choosing her as his fiancee. She wondered why she didn't object any more to this. Also up until now it looked as if she was the best martial artist there was, that was until Ranma managed to beat her yesterday. He had taken her serious and fought her for real. He was also the first person not to force her into doing anything. The way he chose her had left her the possibility to refuse the engagement. It seemed as if he wanted her to chose not the other way around and tried to make her feel as comfortable as possible. To her he was a normal perverted or even more perverted boy, due to his curse, like all the others. Yet she had the feeling he was not as perverted as the boys she knew even if he was bound to change into a girl upon contact with cold water. He didn't try to get in her pants or in this case skirt. He seemed to mature for his age and she wondered what could have happened to him to make him like he is now.

Ranma had noticed Akane was thinking to herself and simply followed her to where ever she was going. After a few minutes of walking and dodging an old lady throwing water, they came to school. Upon entering the school grounds he saw a large group of boys charge at them screaming something. "AKANE, I WILL DEFEAT YOU AND LET YOU BECOME MY LOVE."

Ranma wondered what was going on but before he could ask Akane she seemed to be reacting to the group. "Oh no here we go again, why don't they leave me alone." Akane then charged at the group as Ranma decided to leap on top of the wall and look at the show before him. It seemed Akane had simply rushed into the center of the group and started taking them out one by one. He hoped she was okay, it looked as if she was in pain whenever she used the muscles in her chest.

"Hey Nabiki, looks like Akane is at it again." One of Nabiki's classmates nudged her and motioned her to the window.

Nabiki looked up and knew exactly what was going on. She got up and went over to the window. She looked out and saw her sister mopping up a lot of boys. "Yep she's at it again, it's just..." Nabiki had noticed the same thing as Ranma. She was having more trouble beating the boys then usual. She decided she was just having a bad day but she would manage. She then saw Ranma sitting on top of the wall. "Hey Ranma, better get in here before you are to late."

Ranma lifted her head and saw Nabiki standing in a window and decided to ask her what was going on.

Nabiki saw Ranma look at her and do something she had never seen before. He jumped of of the wall and then ran towards the school building. At first she thought he was going to go in the school and wait for Akane there. Only he did nothing like that, when he was close to the building he jumped up and landed in the window where Nabiki was standing. Everyone in her class was stunned when they saw someone jump up 3 floors and land in the window.

Ranma landed and sat in the open window, his legs hanging outside. "Hey Nabiki. Say is this normal, I mean does this happen to her more often?"

Nabiki took some time to compose herself after seeing Ranma jump up 3 floors and land in front of her. "Uh yes, this happens every day. But there seems to be one difference. She is taking a lot longer to beat them, it is as if she is hurt or something."

"You say. Hmm." Ranma then looked at the display below again and was just in time to see a karateka connect with a punch to Akane's chest. As soon as it connected Akane winced and fell to her knees. The boy started to smile, thinking he defeated her but was soon surprised.



Akane saw the punch coming but was unable to do anything, it struck her chest and she winced as pain flared through her body. She fell to her knees but soon after, anger rose within her and through all the pain she lifted the boy of the ground and yelled. "You, you PERVERT." Akane lashed out with her fist and hit him so hard the boy was sent flying. As soon as she had hit him, she regretted it and she fell to her knees again. She was just glad that that was the last one, or was it. "Oh no, I hope he isn't here." Akane hoped she was done but was mistaken as a rose landed before her feet and a voice spoke.

"Truly such a boorish lot. Evidently each of them intends to ask you out Akane on the dawn that he finally defeats you."

Akane looked up and saw what she feared. "Oh upperclassman Kuno, good morning." Akane struggled to get to her feet and looked at the young man before her.

Ranma was still sitting in the window looking how Akane launched the boy into orbit. He then noticed someone walking over to where Akane was. He was wearing what looked like some sort of robes and was wearing a wooden sword. He focused to hear what he was saying.

"And now Akane might you fight with me so I can defeat and date you." Kuno raised his sword and prepared to fight the one of his dreams.

Akane noticed Kuno getting closer and cursed. Oh no, not now, my chest hurts to much. Akane tried to get into a stance but winced as soon as she moved her muscles. She let her hands fall by her sides.

Kuno seeing Akane drop her hands was almost in bliss. "Ah my Akane I see you have decided to give up and undergo you defeat by my hands. I will do as you want and defeat you so you can date with me." Kuno ran to Akane, intend on beating her gently.

Akane heard Kuno's words and tried to say something but was unable due to the pain in her chest. Oh no. I do NOT want to date that pervert.

Kuno attacked and hoped to beat the woman of his dreams. Just when his sword was about to hit Akane, it stopped. When he looked up he saw a young boy who was kneeled next to Akane holding his sword. "Excuse me who are you and what are you doing?"

As soon as Ranma saw Kuno attack he reacted on instinct. He leapt down and closed the gap between Kuno and him in the blink of and eye. Nobody noticed Ranma leave for they where all looking at how Akane was about to be beaten by Kuno. Ranma slid to a halt on his knees and caught the sword with his left hand. He then turned to face Akane, who had her eyes closed. "Hey Akane, you okay?"

Akane had closed her eyes and was waiting for the sword to hit, yet it never did. Then she heard a familiar voice asking her if she was okay. She opened her eyes and saw Ranma next to her holding Kuno's sword, it seemed he had helped her in her fight. "Ranma, what do you think you're doing? This is my fight and I don't want anyone butting in."

Ranma looked at Akane, who seemed to have gotten angry and sighed. "Akane, I know you are unable to fight in your present condition and that is my fault."

"Huh what do you mean your fault, there is nothing wrong with me."

"Yeah right, don't try and lie. Yesterday I hit you in the chest and it seems I hit you a tad to hard for now it seems as though your ribs are bruised and you're having trouble to move your arms. This is my fault and I'm not going to stand by as this punk beats you when you can't defend yourself. Leave this to me. Before you say anything, when you are well again I will let you fight this guy as much as you want. But for now let me make up for my mistake and I don't take no for an answer.

Akane was about to give Ranma a piece of her mind when she saw the look in his eyes. He wasn't lying, no matter what she would say he would not let her finish this. He truly thought this was his mistake and wanted to correct it. She decided to shut up and see what was going to happen.

Meanwhile Kuno did not know what to do. "Who ARE you bore and why are you being so familiar with Akane?" Kuno was angry at the fact that someone was preventing him from being with his love.

Ranma turned to look at the boy in front of him and released his sword, which Kuno immediately pulled back. Ranma was about to speak when Kuno intervened.

"Ah but is it not a custom to give ones own name first. Fine then mine I shall give. My name is Upperclassman Kuno Tatewaki. Junior group E and captain of the kendo club. Undefeated new star of the high school fencing world. But my peers refer to me as the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High." Kuno struck a pose and lightning shot through the sky behind him.

Ranma was dumbfounded by the introduction of this guy. He decided to give his own introduction. "I am staying at the Tendo dojo and.."

As soon as Kuno heard him tell him he was staying at the Tendo's he freaked. "You dare to stay under the same roof as Akane Tendo, that's unforgivable."

Kuno tried to whack Ranma on top of the head with his sword but Ranma nimbly jumped out of the way. "I am the heir to the Saotome School of anything goes martial arts and the sole master of the Hono Ken." In the air Ranma flipped and took of his school bag and threw it in front of Akane. "I am Ranma Saotome and I'd love to fight you stick boy." Ranma landed and then rose to his full height.

Kuno hearing the boy insult him was about to say something when the boy rose to his full height. The so-called "boy" was more like a man, he was almost 6 ft tall and build like an athlete. He was at least 3 inches taller then he was. "SO you dare to mock ME, well let us fight then. I will show what the blue thunder is capable of." Kuno readied his sword and charged at Ranma, intend on slashing him to pieces.

Ranma saw Kuno coming and prepared himself. As soon as Kuno slashed, he dodged out of its way. Ranma had been standing in front of a wall and when he dodged, Kuno's attack hit the wall cutting it. Whoa, looks like this guy is pretty good. Seems like he's using his chi to make his slashes and thrusts more powerful. Ranma landed and watched as Kuno prepared for another attack, he decided to act before Kuno. He ran to Kuno and was in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Kuno was surprised when his attack had missed but was shocked to see the boy close the distance between them in the blink of an eye. He's fast I have to give him that, but he is no match for my skills. Kuno tried to hit Ranma again but the sword seemed to go through him and before he could think he was flying.

Ranma dodged Kuno's next attack and had ducked out of its way and grabbed Kuno's ankles and threw him in the air. He then also jumped in the air.

Kuno noticed he was airborne and managed to turn so he landed on his feet and when he looked, he noticed Ranma was not where he was before. All of a sudden he heard a voice above him. "He stick boy, prepare to be known as mince meat." Kuno looked up and saw Ranma coming towards him. He prepared and when Ranma was close enough he lashed out.

Ranma was coming down at Kuno and just before landing his hand blurred. Ranma felt a slight tap in his neck but paid no heed to it. As soon as he landed, he performed a leg sweep. He swept Kuno of of his feet with such force he made a double somersault. Kuno hit the ground hard enough to knock him out for a few moments.

Ranma got up and went over to where Akane was and helped her up. "You okay now?"

Akane was still amazed at the skill Ranma had shown. "Uhm yes I'm fine."

"Sure you are, when schools is done you are going to see a doctor. No buts." Ranma looked at Akane with the same look as before and she decided to keep quiet and together they went in the school. Luckily they where in time. Together they went to class for Ranma's first day of school after almost 2 years.

Soon after the two where in class, the teacher entered and class began. "Class starting today we have a new classmate in our middle." The teacher motioned Ranma to the front of the class. When Ranma was there the teacher turned towards the class and introduced him. "Class, this is Saotome Ranma. He has just come back from a trip o China and will be joining our class. Everyone let's give him a Nihao welcome."

"Nihao Ranma, glad to have you."

"Thanks, I hope I will like it here." Ranma bowed and then went back to his seat.

"So if no one has question then we will begin." One of the students raised her hand to ask a question. Yes Hikari."

"I was wondering, isn't Ranma in the wrong class, he doesn't look like he should be in the first grade. It's just that he looks a lot older." Hikari looked at Ranma and slightly blushed, he was handsome.

"Well that might be so but I van assure you he is just sixteen."

"WHAAAATTTT?" The entire was on their feet. How could someone looking like that and so big, only be sixteen. They though he was at least 18 or something.

Ranma decided to try and clear things up, okay with a lie but who was to know. "Ahum if I may. I can explain why I look like this. On my mothers side there have been cases of children growing up pretty fast. This combined with my training was made me like I am today. Like the teacher said, I'm sixteen not eighteen." What Ranma had told wasn't the complete truth, sure it was due to something on his mother's side, but it weren't genes or anything. It was due to the demon blood within him but he couldn't mention that.

Somehow the class seemed to accept this and everyone sat down and soon after that class began. Ranma was a bit bored but also found it interesting, school that is. He looked around at the people and saw some other people shared his boredom, he also noticed Akane sitting there, staring out the window, thinking to herself. Hmm wonder what's up with her."

Meanwhile in Nabiki's class. Kuno was looking at a mirror and was not happy. Ever since he had entered class people had called him mincemeat and when he asked them they would just laugh. He finally turned to Nabiki and after paying 1000 yen she handed him a mirror. In the mirror he was shocked to see something written on his forehead. "MINCEMEAT."

"You mean you didn't feel him do that?"

"No I didn't feel a thing. He seemed good but now it seems he is nothing like that. He does not even remember my name, it's the blue thunder not mince meat, whatever that is." Kuno huffed as he wrote his name on the blackboard.

"Well looks to me like he got it just right."

"You know is detest you." Kuno huffed

"Oh I am so scared Mr. mincemeat."

Back in Akane and Ranma's class. Akane was sitting in her chair looking out the window and was just thinking. What's wrong with me? Why am I sow nice to Ranma, I should be angry with him for butting in my fight. It's just that there is something with him that tells me he will not take no for an answer and it feels like I somehow knew him before he came to our place. It somehow tells me he is not like the other perverts in this school, them being all the boys present. Suddenly an image of fish flashed before her eyes and she had the feeling she was drowning. She was soon snapped out of this as something big and heavy hit her head.

Ranma threw a small piece of folded paper at Akane's head but she didn't seem to notice. Soon after that it a small notebook founds it's way to Akane's head. Still nothing. Okay gotta use the big guns now. Ranma pulled out a dictionary from his schoolbag and pitched at her. "WHACK!!" It hit and...

"RANMA WHY DID YOU DO THAT??" Akane had turned and was looking at Ranma. When she saw Ranma he was pointing to the front of the class. "Huh what the?" Akane turned and saw the teacher staring at her, as well as the rest of the class.

"It seem like Miss Tendo is having trouble paying attention today. Perhaps standing in the hall will make you more observant." The teacher handed her a bucket and she went out to the hall.

Ranma looked at Akane leaving and couldn't help but chuckle. "Dolt."

"Mr. Saotome, maybe being away to China has made you lose your manners but it is not polite to throw books at people. So why won't you join Miss Tendo in the hall and apologize while your there." Ranma was given two buckets and he also went out to the hall. "He Akane, sorry about that but It looked like you where daydreaming and the teach had asked you a question."

"Well you didn't have to throw a book at me. That hurt and turning to yell at you also wasn't good for my chest." Akane was having trouble holding up the bucket, the sudden movement se made to stare at Ranma wasn't good for her ribs.

"Oh sorry, forgot, he, he. If your having to much trouble holding up the bucket you can give it to me if you want." Ranma held out one of his hands after taking both buckets in one hand.

"No, this is something I have to do. It's my fault for drifting of like that."

Meanwhile in Kuno's class Nabiki had told him about Akane and Ranma's engagement. "WHHHHAAAAATTTT, Akane engaged to that demon wretch Ranma, I will not permit it." Kuno had gotten up and was screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Kuno stand out in the hall." The teacher handed Kuno two buckets and he went out to the hall. The second the classroom door closed Kuno filled the buckets and changed into his usual robes. He ran down the hall to where Akane's class was. "I will not permit that vermin to tarnish the lovely Akane Tendo." He made his way to the class and saw Ranma and Akane stand out in the hall.

Ranma was standing with two buckets when his danger sense went of. On instinct he jumped and a bucket of water flew past him. He turned in to where the attack came from, there he saw Kuno storming down the hall. "Hé if it isn't mincemeat, how ya doin?"

"I will not allow your engagement to Akane." Kuno yelled as he came down the hall, sword ready.

All of a sudden the window to the classroom opened and everyone stuck their heads out.

"What engagement but Akane I thought you hated men."

"Lucky you Akane, he is cute and handsome."

"Woah Saotome, just here a day and already have you got the hottest chick in school."

Many other comments could be heard but Ranma paid no heed to them for he was trying to avoid getting slashed. Kuno was desperately trying to finish Saotome off but all he had managed to do was cut his buckets into pieces.

Ranma knew this was no place to fight so he chose to move to a more suitable battlefield. He ran down the corridor, everyone followed them as Kuno pursued. "Saotome you demon, you dare to flee?"

"I ain't fleeing mincemeat, just finding a better place to fight." He saw an open window and jumped out. "Follow me meat boy."

"That I shall." Kuno jumped out the window and realized he was on the third flour.

"Man are they lucky a pool is out there."

Akane looked outside and silently cursed. "Oh no Ranma's curse. Just great." She ran from the group as fast as her chest allowed.

Meanwhile Ranma had noticed the pool and also wasn't feeling happy. Just great, water. All I need right now is for them to find out about my curse. Oh well might as well give em a show." Ranma, while in the air, flipped and performed several amazing feats of aerobatics.

All of his classmates where impressed by his stunts.

Ranma dove in the water without splashing, thus triggering his curse. Kuno on the other hand hit the water in a most unfortunate angle. He was knocked out for a minute and came floating to the surface of the pool. Meanwhile Ranma was under water trying to get away when she noticed Kuno floating on the surface, face down. Better get him out of he'll drown.' Ram swam up to Kuno and lifted her head out of the water and was about to drag him to the side when he felt two arms embrace her.

"RRRAAAANNNNMMMMAAAA SAOTOME, I fight on." Kuno rose from the water and embraced Ranma even tighter and that was when his hands felt something very soft and if he wasn't mistaken feminine. Unconsciously he gave it a squeeze, a hard one.

Ranma felt Kuno squeeze her breast hard and almost exploded. "You, YOU.." Ranma grabbed Kuno's head and ducked under, dragging Kuno with her. When she came to the bottom of the pool she pushed of, HARD. She pushed of with such strength that the tiles of the pool cracked under the pressure. Ranma launched the both of them high up in the air. When at the pentacle of her jump she proceeds to try and see if making a Kuno pancake was possible. She threw him back towards the pool, where Kuno impacted with an incredible force, to him it felt like he had hit concrete. But something else was going through his head. That was a girl, definitely female. That would mean.." Kuno got up out of the water and yelled. "Saotome, you dare to flee and have someone else fight in thy place." Kuno got up and followed to where he thought Ranma had jumped of to.

After slamming Kuno in the water, Ranma had made her way over the fence and was now sitting in a tree sulking. "Yeez, that fucking moron, he didn't have to squeeze em so hard. Man never thought it would hurt like that. Oh well, I guess my secret is out to him. Oh well was bound to happen soon enough." Ranma took of her pants and wringed them out. Suddenly she heard someone approach and when she looked she saw Kuno making his way towards the tree Ranma was in.

Kuno had made his way to a field behind the school. He was sure he would find Ranma here. After scanning the field he found no one was there. It also didn't come to him to check the tree. "That foul wrench. How dare he flee from a fight? He is NO MAN, NO MAN AT ALL. He is nothing but a pathetic coward. BAH." Kuno was about to turn and head back when he heard a voice, an angry voice.

Ranma was sitting in the tree looking at Kuno. Hearing Kuno say she wasn't a man made her pissed but she decided to let it slide. Then her mind registered another insult, one to which she could do nothing but react. Kuno had called him a pathetic coward.

Note: I added a small fragment to the second chapter of the story. In this piece a reaper calls Ranma a pathetic coward while he is with Samantha. The reaper saying this combined with his grief and anger burns that insult in his brains. No whenever someone calls Ranma this, he becomes so enraged that he attacks whoever called him that. Usually it would mean the dead of the insulter. So no what will happen to Kuno, read on and find out. GULP.

"YOU DARE AND CALL ME A PATHETIC COWARD. KUNO DIEEEEEEEEE." Ranma leapt out of the tree into the air, she gained height fast and soon she was up almost 15 meters.

Kuno heard someone scream and then saw a nimble girl jump in the air from out of a tree. "That's the girl from the pool, oh she must want to date with me for her to become so enflamed.

Ranma was not enflamed, as Kuno called it, she was pissed of beyond belief. Her demon power was boiling in her veins and she could do nothing other then attack. She called forth one of her attacks, luckily some of her humanity had remained and prevented her from using her full power. In English she yelled. "Eat this you piece of trash. FLAME KICK. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Where Ranma was high up in the air just before she attacked, now she was heading towards the ground with a speed beyond anything Kuno had ever seen. Her body looked as if it was surrounded with fire, the most of it concentrated in her left foot. Kuno managed to jump out of her way just before she struck the ground.

Ranma noticed Kuno jump out of the way just before hitting the ground. When she hit the ground, it created a crater two meters wide and two feet deep. As soon as she was on the ground, she got up and ran to Kuno.

Kuno saw the girl hit the ground and saw it caving in. Two things then run through his mind:

1: "Oh my tree born flaming angel, your desire for me is engulfing you with flames of love. Come to me in my arms." After uttering these words he would hold out his arms for his tree-borne Angel.

2: Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit. Run feet run, run, run, run. After thinking this he would tuck tails and run.

Guess which thought won. Bingo, number one.

Ranma saw Kuno stand there and say something after which he spread his arms. She thought nothing of it and when she was in front of him she ducked and improvised a new attack on the spot. It was an attack if used at full power, it would have obliterated Kuno on touch. Ranma crouched her right hand glowing as she punched up in a vicious uppercut while screaming. "MAGMA DRIVE." A flame engulfed fist struck Kuno, with nowhere near full power as he became airborne and flew towards the school ground. Luckily he landed in the pool.

Akane was slowly making her way to the field where she thought Ranma would be at When she heard a yell, an explosion and another yell. All of sudden she saw what seemed to be a shooting star only this one looked like Kuno. "What the hell, what could have done that. Oh no Ranma." Akane dropped the kettle with warm water as she tried to run to where she thought Ranma was. When she came there she saw Ranma standing near a crater looking at her hands. "Ranma are you okay?" Akane made her way to Ranma as she turned around.

"Yeah Akane I'm fine. It's just that that Kuno guy is such an idiot. I don't feel like going to school, what do you say we go back home and after I change and get dressed we go see a doctor." Ranma was already heading for home, Akane quickly followed.

"But school isn't over yet. Oh never mind you're right. And about Kuno, you're right also he is an idiot. By the way what happened to him, he seemed to be flying towards the school."

"Oh that, let's just say he was struck by an angel." Hmm okay not angel but demon, but who cares. Together they went home.



Meanwhile in a remote part of China something was being planned, something evil.

DUH, weren't expecting that huh?

Deep inside what looked like a castle on the outside but inside resembled what one would call a hellhole, a lone figure was sitting on what looked like a throne. If one would take a closer they would see that it was indeed a throne, yet this throne was made from rotting human organs, at least on the outside. The figure was thinking to himself. Hmm looks like the throne is starting to weaken, better let them bring me some more luscious organs to fix it. The room where the throne was located it was quiet, to quiet.

OOOHHHHH always wanted top say that, okay write that.

Slowly the figure rose, he stood at least 8 feet high and was 4 feet wide, a powerhouse is an understatement to this "man". Slowly he made his way to the center of the chamber, here we see a crystal like object. Inside we see a young girl, she seems like she is asleep. He approaches it while saying something. His voice was low yet had a tone to it. It sounded like someone scratching a blackboard with steel nails. His very voice would make anyone tremble, oh heck it would make them shit their pants. "I'm bored waiting for Temorom, he knows better then to let me wait. Oh well at least he left me a new song, let's see what it's like." When the figure was near he held out his hand as it glowed a sick green light. All of a sudden the girl in the crystal opened her eyes and started to scream.

To her it felt as if her body was being eaten by ants, and her brain felt as if it was growing inside her skull. She screamed with all her might.

As soon as the girl started to scream the figure seemed to enjoy it, he started to move his hands as if conducting an orchestra. With the movement of the mans hands, she started to scream louder, higher, lower. It was as if he was playing her like an instrument. He continued doing this for several minutes and was enjoying it, he then got a bored look on his face and stopped. As soon as he stopped, the girl stopped crying. "Hmm this one is boring now, better let them bring me a new one to play on." He held out his arm and flicked his wrist. Inside the crystal we see a bright flash as the girl literally explodes, blood covering the crystal on the inside.

When the crystal lights up we get a glimpse of the figure's face. It's black as the night, his eyes red on the outside and green on the inside. Many scars can be seen on his face and many of them looked as if acid had been pored into them when a cut was made. His nose was bent and smashed. Then we see his teeth, large sharp and covered with what looks like pieces of rotting flesh. Then the light fades again and we see only his outlining.

After the girl explodes, her blood flows to a beaker on the outside of the crystal. As soon as her blood is all out of the crystal, a light appears inside the crystal and it also goes into the cup. Then a small beam of light flashes out and hits the throne and we see organs appear on several places. He then proceeds to pick up the beaker and lifts it. "Have fun with your fiends little girl." He then drinks from the beaker as blood flows from his mouth. "AAAHHH, that hits the spot, nothing like a little maiden blood, now where is Temorom? TEMERON, come here, NOW!!!" As the man bellows we see the walls shake and small cracks appear in the ground, he was not happy.

Suddenly we hear a small poof and see a cloud of smoke. "Ah, you're finally here. What took you, you know better then to let me wait?" The

"man" walked to his throne and sat down.

As the small cloud of smoke stops, we see a small, fat little demon. His body was swollen and fat. Puss was flowing from every pour and snot from its nose. Its lips where cracked and green blood flowed from the cuts. When it spoke, it sounded as if it had a terrible cold. "I'm sorry master. I was overseeing the growth of our newest breed. We managed to create a soldier, stronger, faster and more vicious then any other. Its intelligence is high and it's capable of strategy in combat. We have also added some new things to its body, it has wings with which it can cut steel. His teeth drip with poison that will causes extreme pain and paralyses to who comes in contact with it. I am proud and glad you have given me the chance to create this masterpiece. It would...." The little demon was going to say something else but was interrupted by the big "man" spoke.

"Good I am glad he is finished, for this I will let you live another day, now I want you to send it out and do as I told you. It has been imprinted with the proper information has it not?"

"Yes master, its ready and waiting, but.."

NO BUTS, I want it out there and do as I told you. I want him dead, the man who killed my love. RANMA SAOTOME, you will die soon and I will obtain the Blade of Humanity and become supreme. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!!!" As the "man" laughed, the little man held its ears as if in pain.

"Now tell me have you located those beast-men that escaped here not long ago?"

"No master, we have not been able to locate them. As you know not many of our kind can be transported here for the earth only allows a small number of us to be here."

"Yes, I know!! Well no matter, they are nothing to worry about anyway. Now leave and get me some more "instruments" to play on, Oh and don't forget about my throne." The "man" folded his hands and sighed. "Soon my love the man responsible for your death will be dead and you will be at my side again as ruler of all. It saddens me we cannot use other people as hostages against Ranma but I cannot allow that what happened over two years ago to happen again."

As the man sat there muttering, the small demon sweated drops. He had forgotten to implant one command in the new demon warrior. It hoped it wouldn't upset his master." As it stood there thinking, its master yelled.

"What did I tell you? LEAVE ME NOW." The "mans" eyes lit up as he yelled.

"Yes Master Lothar." The small demon turned and ran.



In Nerima, Tokyo we see two young people enter what looks like a clinic.

"So this is where your doc lives eh? Not bad, not bad." Ranma was behind Akane and looked at the waiting room, it wasn't big yet looked well taken care of.

Akane was in front of Ranma and decided to sit down and wait for the doctor. "Hey Ranma, why did you insist on going with me? I can take care of myself you know."

"Yeah I bet you could if you where in proper shape but now you're a mess. Don't worry in know you're strong and all but right now your in no shape to fight and what if mincemeat showed up?" Ranma walked over to Akane and sat down next to her.

"I don't think Kuno will be back today. From what I could tell from him flying through the air, he will be out for some time." Ever since Ranma had fought Kuno, Ranma had been calling Kuno mincemeat. He found the name suitable.

Just when Akane ant to say something else, the door opened and a young man stepped in. He was wearing a black outfit, which looked like a gi and wore glasses. And looked in his early twenties "Oh hi Akane, what brings you here, another injury I guess?" He then noticed Ranma sitting next to Akane. "Oh and who are you, Akane's friend?"

Akane was about to answer when Ranma spoke. "My name is Ranma Saotome, I'm friend if the Tendo's and I'm staying at their dojo." Ranma got up and bowed to the man. "Nice to meet you."

Akane looked at Ranma with a surprised look. Was he afraid to tell someone they where engaged or was he giving her a chance to get used to the idea and tell people when she felt ready.

"Ah I see. Well my name is Tofu Ono. I run this clinic." After introducing himself to Ranma he turned to Akane. "So what brings you here today Akane?"

"Uhm I had a small accident while sparring with someone. Now I seem to have some trouble breathing."

"Oh what kind of accident?"

"Uhm, well you see. It's like uh." Akane had trouble finding the right words.

Ranma decided to butt in. "When she was in the dojo breaking bricks I accidentally startled her and she fell over in top of the bricks, hurting her chest." Ranma looked at Akane and nodded. He knew she was a proud fighter and didn't want to embarrass her by telling she had been beaten by Ranma.

"Oh I see, well come in and I'll have a look at your chest." Tofu turned and held the door open.

After Ranma helped Akane up, they entered the room and Akane sat down on the bed. "Uhm Ranma would you mind waiting outside"

"Huh, why?"

"It's just that I, uhm you know?" Akane started to blush as she tried to tell Ranma why she wanted him out of the room.

Ranma was thinking what could make her act like this. She was just having her chest checked. Hey wait a minute, if she was going to have her chest checked, she would have to take of her blouse. "Oh I see, you don't want me to see you half naked. Okay, but from what I saw before you have nothing to be ashamed of. But if you want I'll wait outside till you're done." Ranma got up and left the room, closing the door behind him.

As he left Akane wondered what he meant with: From what he saw before. She decided to ask him later, for she felt her cheeks turn even redder.

What Akane didn't know was that when she was sparring with Ranma for the first time, her gi had fallen open. This allowed Ranma to see inside and see her chest.

Ranma sat down in the waiting room as Akane was being treated. "I think you have some bruised ribs, I have some herbs which will help. I suggest you try and get some rest to. You should be fine in a few days." Just when Tofu was about to get the herbs, they heard a horrible sickening cracking noise coming from the waiting room. This was soon followed by a scream. It sounded like Ranma. When they heard this they immediately got up and went out of the room.

After Ranma had sat down, he started to feel an itch on his back. Soon the itching feeling became a burning pain and all of sudden he felt the bones in his back move, reshape. He also heard several loud snaps but couldn't tell what it was. He fell from his chair and landed on his chest.

When Akane and Tofu entered they saw Ranma lying on his chest as he was screaming. They could tell he was in pain. Tofu ran up to Ranma. "Ranma, what's wrong?" He then touched Ranma's back and felt something very odd. Also when he touched his back, Ranma screamed even harder as if the slightest touch was causing him pain.



To be continued.

Okay now this one's done and I liked writing it. Hope you all like reading it. Now next time Kuno will try and confess to his second new love. He will find out she is hard to "hand"le.



Ranma's Attacks:

In this small section I will add new attacks Ranma used in this chapter.

Demon Powered attacks: When Ranma uses these attacks he calls forth the energy of his demon half.

Kick 13 or as Ranma calls his version Flame Kick: This is like the kick 13 in the game only with one mayor difference. Instead of using a roundhouse Ranma uses a kick, which goes straight. It's very much like Johnny Cage's Shadow Kick in mortal combat.

Ranma can use this kick even when he is in the air, when he does he propels himself towards the ground where his enemy is.

Due to Ranma's extreme agility he is able to launch himself in many directions, not just horizontal when he is on the ground. He can launch himself in every possible angle.

Magma Drive: This is the same as in the game D.M.C. Ranma uses his powers to perform a devastating uppercut on the enemy which knocks them, in the air. His fist is engulfed with fire when he uses it, making it a lot more devastating then any normal uppercut.
