Chapter Eleven

Akane again closed her eyes and took several deep breaths to relax. Once she felt at ease she began again. This time it wasn't Ranma who interrupted her but she stopped herself. Looking at Ranma, "I know I know, to forced." Remembering Ranma's words she began anew and after only a minute Ranma interrupted her and she had to begin anew. This went on for almost four hours, without any success. Sometimes Akane would stop by herself but most of the times it was Ranma who interrupted her. Even though she tried she couldn't help but feel her temper rise. Just when she was about to pop Ranma stopped her and they went back inside to get something to eat. During their meal neither of them spoke they ate and went back outside.

When they came outside Ranma stopped Akane when she tried to begin. "Akane tell me do you know capoeira?"

"Yes I've heard of it and seen some demonstrations, look pretty neat."

"Well it is but that's besides the point. For capoeira the basis is the ginga. Let me show you." Ranma took a step back and showed her the ginga. He started out with his left foot behind. His right foot was placed forward and in a straight line with his left. His right knee was bent in angel of about 90 degrees and his left leg was only slightly bend. His right foot pointed slightly outward and his weight was distributed on both legs and he used his right hand for balance. Then he began the ginga, he moved his left leg parallel to his right and put it down after making what you might call a side step. His right leg did not leave the ground and all the while he kept his body as low as possible. As soon as he had put down his left foot he swept his right foot behind his left. As he moved his right foot he also moved his left arm away from his chin and without leaving a gap in the defense his right arm came in front of his chin. Now he was in the opposite position as when he started. He started out slow and somewhat stiff and then picked up speed and slowly it began to look as if he was dancing in a way. The moves looked so naturally. After a few minutes Ranma stopped. "Well this is what's called the ginga and like I said it's the basis of capoeira. Everyone who learns capoeira must be able to perform the ginga without thinking, as if it was the same as walking. I want you to consider your movements as the ginga, it must become like a second nature to you. You understand why I showed you the ginga?"

"I think so. It was because unlike many martial arts in capoeira you keep moving you never stand still in one place and you have to keep yourself moving without thinking. If you start to think about how you move you might let your guard down. If you think you will have two things on your mind and that can be bad when you're in say a fight. So if you are able to move about and react without thinking you can keep your mind on other things. Thus gaining an advantage when you fight someone who has to think about how he moves." Slowly it became clear to Akane that being able to perform moves without actually thinking about them would allow you to work out a "scenario" for your fight. To think in advance like in chess.

"Bingo, now try again and remember don't lose your temper." Ranma stepped back and waited for Akane to begin.

Akane began and this time she was able to continue for almost 2 minutes before Ranma interrupted her. Stopping she began anew and again she was interrupted. She was however able to perform the first moves in the kata without thinking but when she came to the point where one move went over into another she started to thinking on how to do them and thus forced herself. This went on until it was time for dinner so they had dinner. Akane was now to tired to even speak but she would not give up. After eating they went outside again.

Ranma saw that Akane was getting very tired and he knew she was getting close.

Akane having rested a bit during dinner began and like every other time she failed. By now it was getting close to ten o'clock she was tired, sweaty and wanted nothing more then to take a bath and go to bed. "Ranma can we continue this tomorrow? I'm very tired and want to go to bed."

"Why don't you give it one more try and then you can have a bath and go to bed. Okay?"

"Oh okay but just one more time, I'm exhausted." Akane tried to find her focus but was way to tired but still she tried. By now she was so tired that she couldn't even think. She began and to her it seemed as if she didn't move at all. Even though she didn't know it herself she was going through the kata perfectly. Everyone seeing her could see that she was tired yet it also looked as if the kata was second nature to her. When Akane stopped her eyes where wide open and she was very much awake. She had felt how she moved through the kata without thinking what so ever. She turned and looked at Ranma, a very surprised look on her face. "How did I do that?"

Ranma stood there smiling at her he knew that she would get it right this time. "That's easy, by now you where so tired that you couldn't even think straight. Am I right?"

"Uh yes." Akane wasn't sure what this had to do with it.

"Well when someone forces him or herself he or she thinks in order to do something. Well by now you where too tired to think so you just did it without thinking. Remember how you felt when you performed the kata just now and when you try another kata try and see if you can use that memory to your advantage. But again don't force yourself to use the memory, let it come to you. Now I can see you're tired so why not go inside and take a bath. When you're done I'll give you a massage."

"But I don't wanna take a bath. I wanna keep going." Akane stepped forward but she was so tired that she almost collapsed if Ranma hadn't caught her.

"I know you want to go on but right now you need some rest, tomorrow we will continue. Tomorrow you will try some other, more complex kata's and when you get the hang of that we will begin to spar. During our sparring sessions you will se that you can now fight without forcing yourself to do things. The movements will come to you more naturally. Remember one thing even though you will be able to focus on other things during a fight, this doesn't mean you can fight someone without thinking about the fight. If you fight a highly skilled fighter you will finds yourself forcing to do think about the fight fully. This is something to help improve your skills, not something to rely on blindly. Now I'll help you get inside and into the bathroom." Without saying another word Ranma helped Akane inside and helped her in the bathroom.

Akane even though she was tired managed to scrub herself and she sank into the bath. As soon as she got in she felt the tiredness flowing from her muscles. Closing her eyes Akane dozed off. Sometime later Akane was awoken by a voice calling her. It was Ranma asking if she was ok. Akane stretched herself and even though she hadn't slept long she felt revitalized. "Yes, I'm fine. I just dozed off. I'll be done in a few minutes." With that Akane got out of the tub and as soon as she stepped out of the tub her legs wobbled. Even though she felt revitalized she was still very tired. It took her about 20 minutes or so to dry of and get dressed. When she was done she left the bathroom after cleaning up a bit and found Ranma in the living room. He sat there reading seemed to be a book. It looked like a very old book.

Ranma just finished the chapter she was reading and when he looked up he saw Akane entering the room. "AH I see you're done, lie down on bed and I'll give you a massage. Trust me tomorrow you will feel a lot better. Oh and one more thing, I need you to take of your shirt and if possible your pants."

"WHAT!? Why should I strip for you?" All of a sudden anger rushed over her as perverted thoughts entered her mind.

"Hey it's just that giving a massage fully clothed is darn hard. Hey don't worry I won't do anything. Just lie down and relax. If you want I'll turn around while you get ready. Hey and what if I see you in your underwear, I've seen myself and Samantha in underwear or even naked." Ranma got of the couch and walked away, his back towards Akane.

Somehow hearing how he had seen Samantha naked relaxed her and it was the tone in his voice that told her that he wasn't lying. "Hesitant at first she slowly took of her shirt and pants an lay down on the cough. "Okay, I'm ready, but remember don't try anything funny or I will hurt you. Got that?"

"Yes ma'm." Ranma saluted Akane and walked over to the cough. He began with Akane's shoulders and immediately he felt Akane relax but she somehow still felt stiff or a bit stressed. Sighing Ranma got up and went over to the sink. He knew a way to make Akane more at ease bit he didn't like it that much but hey if it helped Akane to relax. Filling a glass with water he emptied it over his head and voila instant redhead.

Akane had barely noticed that Ranma had left. Suddenly she felt two gentle and slender hands massage her shoulders. Glancing behind her she saw Ranma- chan sitting there working at her shoulders. "Hey Ranma what happened?" Akane was puzzled as to why Ranma had triggered the curse.

"It's just that I could feel that you where still a bit uncomfortable with my touch. I thought that you might feel more at ease if it was a girl that massaged. Also when I'm like this my hands are more gentle and agile so it would help when I massage someone." Ranma continued and saw Akane wince as she undid a "knot" in her shoulders.

"I see, thank you to consider that. Ouch, hey go easy will you." Akane winced several times as Ranma kneaded several muscles.

"I am going easy it's just that you have a lot of "knots" and I have to get rid of them if I want to help0 you relax. Don't worry it won't be long, I will first "unknot" your muscles and after that you will feel yourself relax. You ready?" Ranma stopped her massaging as she waited for Akane's response.

"Yes, I'm ready."

And so Ranma began, as quickly as Akane's body allowed her Ranma began to get rid of the "knots" in her body. Ranma finished after about 15 minutes of wincing and pain. Then the way Ranma massaged all together, she gently and slowly began to kneed her body and stroking it. It was as if she was trying to push the exhaustion and pain out of Akane's body.

To Akane it felt as if Ranma's hands had the same temperature as a nice warm bath.

Little did she know that Ranma was using her powers to heat up her hands. As Ranma moved over Akane's body she transferred some warmth in Akane's muscles.

Akane had been massaged before but never like this, she felt warm, sleepy but most importantly completely relaxed and when she closed she dozed of.

Ranma noticed Akane breathing slowed and felt her heartbeat slow down as well. "Goodnight Akane." Ranma whispered as she continued her massaging. All in all Ranma went on with the massage for almost one hour. By the time she was done it was already 12 o'clock. When she was done she gently picked Akane up being ever so careful not to wake her she put her to bed. Ranma then stepped outside to look at the night sky. The starts shone brightly and Ranma smiled. Even though the trip had been mend to help her find out what had been happening to her when she nearly killed Kuno it had turned out quiet differently. She had fought two tough demons on one day and now she was helping Akane to improve her skills. Besides from the demon part Ranma felt happy about the things happening.

Yet it still worried her that demon activity was so high here. Glancing back inside and looking at the sleeping form of Akane Ranma decided to pick up her hunting business. Even though he had promised Dante and Trish to not go out on hunts she felt like doing something else then to do nothing and relax. She took out her cell phone to make a call. Even though it was late she knew that the person she would call would be awake or wouldn't be upset if he were awoken. Dante had given him some numbers, which he could call if he wanted to place an ad concerning his line of work. Dialing a number he waited for an answer. After ringing for 4 times there came a voice. "Moshi Moshi Tenaka residence. Who ever you are you better have a good reason to call me this late."

"Heavens darkness." Ranma spoke, this was a password known only to a select group of people.

"Ah Uh sorry about that." The man on the other side immediately came to his senses, all sleep gone from his voice. "Who is this if I might ask?"

"Ranma. I'd like you to place an ad. I'm in the vicinity of Tokyo let them call me when they have a job." With that Ranma hang up the phone. If her guess was correct she wouldn't be bored. Taking one last look at the stars Ranma went back inside to get some sleep.

The following days Ranma would train Akane, every day she would learns a new kata and by the end of the day she would be able to perform it without thinking. Every night Akane was so tired that after Ranma massaged her she would go to bed to sleep. Many of the nights Ranma would step outside and do some working out. Luckily their cabin was in a remote section of the park. The closest cabin to them was at least 1500 feet away and large trees obscured the vision from unwanted eyes. Every knight Ranma would go through a kata and during this kata the two auras would appear and fuse together. As soon as Ranma ended the kata he would smile and go to bed.

When the last day arrived they got out of bed early and instead of teaching Akane another kata Ranma decided to do something else. "Today we will do something else. You and I will spar and see how you have progressed. Are you ready?"

Akane did not have time to discuss this since Ranma was already preparing to begin. Dropping into a comfortable stance she waited. She still remembered very vividly her first and last sparring match with Ranma, it had hurt.

Ranma smiled just by looking at Akane's eyes he knew that she had her mind on other things just like he wanted. Not waiting for Akane to turn her attention to the match he attacked.

Ranma started out with a simple straightforward punch aimed at her head. Akane without even noticing the punch ducked under it and countered with a leg sweep. Ranma had seen the counter coming but let himself be swept. Akane then noticed that Ranma was down on the ground. "Huh Ranma what happened."

"You are what happened, I attacked you and you countered by sweeping my leg." Ranma flipped himself back up and dropped into an aggressive stance waiting for Akane to get ready.

"Huh what do you mean I did nothing I was thinking about the first time we sparred and how I got hurt. I couldn't even have dodged a punch thrown by Kuno."

"You're wrong why do you think I taught you all those kata's and wanted you to be able to do them without thinking? Those kata's consisted out of attacks and defenses used in a fight. Because you where able to perform those without thinking they have become somewhat of a reflex and now you are able to dodge simple and some advanced attacks and in most cases you will be able to counter attack. Now get ready we will continue and now stay with me on the fight but remember don't force yourself or lose you temper. Ready?"

Akane once again dropped into a stance and to Ranma surprise it was an aggressive one also. "You want to play it rough. Okay then. Hajime!"

Ranma immediately sprung into action closing the gap between himself and Akane in an instant.

Akane's eyes went wide when she saw Ranma move. So fast. She saw Ranma right before her and knew that he would attack and that there was nothing she could do. She had taken on this aggressive stance to through Ranma off guard but her plan had backfired. Little did she know that as soon as Ranma had moved she had changed her stance into a defensive one.

Ranma after closing the gap attacked with a vicious roundhouse kick to the head.

Akane ducked under the kick and tried to sweep Ranma's supporting leg.

Ranma saw the counter coming a mile away and pushed of on her supporting leg and performed a back flip landing a few meters away. He did not have time to counter attack again since Akane was upon him.

Akane seeing Ranma flip away immediately rushed him. She planned on catching him off guard. When she came close enough she attacked him with a flurry of punches. If Ranma had been anybody else she would have succeeded but She was up against a seasoned fighter and before she knew it she was on the receiving end of some nasty counters. She immediately changed her strategy and went on the defensive trying to dodge or block as much as possible. She couldn't help but smile a bit as she dodged a large number of the attacks. Before Ranma's training she would have tried to block and overpower her opponent but she now knew that that was not wise. Ranma was far too strong and her best bet would be to dodge and counter attack.

Ranma saw Akane's strategy and in continued his attack. Every now and then he would leave a gap in his defense or wait a moment longer before countering, hoping that Akane would see the chance for a counter attack.

Akane in her turn saw the gaps and immediately countered, sometimes she would counter so viciously that Ranma was taken off guard and Akane managed to get a hit in. But as soon as she had got a hit in she was on the receiving end again and was forced to doge block and get hit.

This game of attacking, dodging, blocking and countering went on for almost an hour in which Akane was pushed to her limits and beyond. She found herself countering with attacks she had never thought of using. Inside she was smiling, almost laughing. She had never experienced a fight like this and was enjoying every second of it.

Ranma in his turn was holding back and was forced to use more power then he had planned on using. Akane had learned a lot in these few days and had become a lot better. She's good but she's getting a bit cocky. Heck she's even leaving holes in her defense for me to attack. Time to finish this. As soon as Akane dared to leave another gap in her defense Ranma attacked. He did not go for the gap as Akane hoped he would. He went for her defense. Attacking with punches and kicks beyond anything Akane had ever experienced Ranma forced her to go into full defense mode.

Akane was stunned when Ranma clashed into her defenses with such force. She was unable to defend against the attacks and son she was hit many times over. Even though the punches hurt they did not hurt her badly. After only a few minutes Akane was down, her defense had been broken and Ranma had ended it with a single leg sweep. She just lay there gasping for air and trying to relax. She had never ever pushed herself this far and she had enjoyed every minute of it. Ranma stood there looking down on Akane and he was smiling. After resting a bit she was able to speak. "Wow that was great, I have never ever experience anything like this. Thank you for helping me to understand the art more. Until no I though that the most important thing was to block and counter with all your strength but no I see that dodging and waiting for a chance is just as if not a more important. What should we do now?"

"We'll go to the hot springs one last time and then go back home. I have to fight Ryoga today and I don't want to keep him waiting. So when you are ready we will go and after that we go back home." Ranma helped Akane to her feet and after getting their bath supplies and some clothes they went to the hot springs.

They did not have a lot of time so after about 30 minutes they came back out and cleaned up the cabin and packed their stuff. They dropped of the key top the cabin at the reception and where on their way back home.

Ryoga and Nabiki where at the field where the fight would take place. They where standing behind a tree and waiting for Ranma and Akane to arrive. "So you understand Ryoga. After I do this you will be ready to take on Ranma and you will win."

Even though he was nervous Ryoga wanted this fight and if this Nabiki girl was right he would be able to win against this Ranma. "Yes I understand but why not do it now?"

"It is best to do this just before we begin so we wait for. Aah look there they are." Nabiki pointed to Ranma and Akane who just arrived at the field.

"Quickly do it so I can begin. I want this fight to get underway so I can obliterate Ranma."

"Okay here goes and so Nabiki pushed a spot on Ryoga's back and wet over to meet Ranma and Akane.

It took them a little over two hours to get back to Nerima and when they got there everyone was already waiting for the fight to start. As soon as they arrived they saw Nabiki coming their way.

Akane ran up ahead to greet her sister but before either where able to say anything a large roar could be heard and turning around they saw Ryoga standing there and by the look in his eyes he was angry.

Nabiki saw the look in his eyes and knew that this would be one hell of a fight but she did not have time to think about anything else as Ryoga raced towards Ranma. HE went straight for Ranma and knocked Nabiki and Akane out of his way.

All of the people saw Ryoga's charge and decided to make some more room for the two fighters. With more room they mend to get over 300 feet away from the "arena".

Ranma was just putting down the backpack when he heard a roar and when he looked up he saw that Ryoga had knocked Akane and Nabiki down and was charging him. "Hey what's going...." Ranma did not have time to finish as Ryoga shoulder rammed him. Ranma was flung backwards where he slammed into a tree hard. Having been caught off guard he had the air knocked out off lungs. Before he had a chance to recover as Ryoga attacked him.

Ryoga had not stopped after he shoulder rammed Ranma he went straight for him and after reaching him he attacked him with all of his strength.

Ranma was getting beaten to a pulp he was completely on the defensive. He tried to calm Ryoga butt the look in his eyes told him enough. Ryoga would not calm down until he was down. He then caught sight of something that shocked him. He saw Akane sitting on the ground holding Nabiki who was unconscious. From the look in Akane's eyes he could tell that she was worried about her sister but also about him. "YO RYOGA STOP THIS NOW. YOU HURT THAT GIRL!"

Ryoga simply sneered and continued his assault never relenting.

Ranma saw that Ryoga didn't care about what he had done to Nabiki and that pissed him off. He would not allow innocent people to get hurt in a fight that did not concern them. "Okay you want to play it hard, fine. Here we go." Ranma stopped blocking Ryoga's attacks and caught both of Ryoga's fists with his hands. Staring into Ryoga's eyes he growled. "You should not have done that Ryoga. Beat me kick me or try to kill me as much as you want but I will not stand by and let innocent bystanders get hurt. You want a fight and you will have it and regret it. GET READY." Ranma started to push Ryoga back.

Ryoga did not even hear Ranma's words all he saw was his enemy. As he was pushed back he pushed back to no avail.

Ranma was pushing Ryoga back and when he had enough distance he to begin get serious. With a burst of inhuman strength he threw Ryoga backwards and rushed in. By now Ranma was so angry that his eyes had turned into twin fires. When he came to Ryoga all hell broke loose as Ranma assaulted Ryoga. He came in and before Ryoga knew what was happening he was on the receiving end of punches and kicks he could do nothing to stop. Ranma ended his assault with a leg sweep that spun Ryoga in the air and as he spun he struck Ryoga's chest with enough strength to send him crashing into a tree.

Ranma knew that that punch was strong enough to knock out any normal human. He was surprised when he saw Ryoga get back to his feet as if nothing had happened. What the fuck. Ranma did not have time to think as Ryoga attacked again and Ranma seeing Ryoga coming immediately went in. The two clashed and neither of them cared about defense all they wanted was to take the other down.

Ranma wanted to knock Ryoga out cold but it seemed Ryoga was out to kill Ranma. He was attacking with such rage and strength that if Ranma had been anyone else he would have been killed.

Ranma had never seen anyone this angry and he couldn't help but wonder what was going on. The attacks he used on Ryoga where strong enough to knock out any human. Heck they where strong enough to take out low level demons but Ryoga just kept coming. From the attacks yoga was using he could tell that he was using ki to enhance his strength. All of a sudden it hit him, he had heard about people going mad because they could not control the flow of energy through their body. Normally this would only happen to people who tried to use more energy then their body o mind could handle. Could this have happened to him? Immediately Ranma went on the defensive and concentrated his senses to try and see what was going on with Ryoga's body. All of a sudden his eyes went wide as he saw what was going on. He dropped his defense and was knocked aside by a strong kick to his head. Ryoga did not hesitate and charged Ranma.

Shit I don't know what did this but the energy is eating his own body. He is generating so much energy that his own body is being destroyed by it. Now wonder he went insane, no normal human mind can handle this amount of energy. I have to take him down as quickly as possible. But none of my attacks seem to affect him and I don't want to use my powers. I need to short-circuit him but how? Again Ryoga was upon him and again Ranma was forced to defend. As he dodged and blocked the attacks he was trying to think of a way to take Ryoga down. The problem was that he needed a few moments to think of a way to take him down but Ryoga did not give him a chance to think. I need to get him of off me for so I can think I could try and throw him in the air but he would just fall down and come at me again. Hey wait a minute, that's it. I've never used this attack since learning it from Sam's mother. If I where to use the technique in the city it would damage a lot of buildings but out here I can use it. Glancing around he saw that every bystander including Akane and the unconscious Nabiki where far away from them. "Okay get ready Ryoga here goes." Ranma continued to defend himself as he started to cool down the energy coming from his body and when everything was set up the way he wanted it he attacked. "Amazon secret technique, Hiryu Shoten HA!" Ranma punched upward with an uppercut and before anyone knew what was happening a large hurricane blew Ryoga upwards into the air. Ranma stood there in the center of the hurricane and watched as Ryoga was thrown up into the air. "There's no way he will get up after spinning in there. Concentrating Ranma stopped the flow of energy feeding the hurricane and watched as Ryoga plummeted down. He knew that the fall would not kill Ryoga but it should knock him out.

Ryoga met the ground up close and personal, struggling he got to his feet as some blood dribbled form his mouth. As soon as he was up he found his target alive and well and the rage took control of him again as he attacked.

Ranma saw Ryoga coming and gasped, how could someone get up after that? Man what do I have to do to knock him down. If this keeps up he will get mortally wounded and... Oh man, that's just too crude to do to a man but he has to be taken down or he will die. Ranma prepared himself and charged at Ryoga.

Ryoga met Ranma head on and attacked him. Yet suddenly he hesitated when Ranma asked him a question that had nothing to do with this fight.

"Say Ryoga do you know Johnny Cage form Mortal Combat?" Ranma saw Ryoga hesitating and saw his chance. "Sorry bout this man."

All of a sudden Ranma disappeared before Ryoga's eyes and before he had a chance to look for him something hit him in place where he could not ignore the pain.

Every boy seeing Ranma's attack heard a nearly audible crunching sound as they gripped their private parts.

Ryoga's eyes went up in his head as he lost consciousness. He did not hit the ground as Ranma caught him.

After catching Ryoga Ranma ran over to Akane and Nabiki. "How's Nabiki?"

"She's unconscious but what about Ryoga?"

"I need to get him to a doctor but not a normal one. I need one who is specialized in the flow of chi or ki in a human body."

"I know someone, doctor Tofu."

"Oh yeah. Here let me take Nabiki too so he can look at her too." Ranma knelt down and gently picked up Nabiki. Not waiting another minute he got up and ran. Running as fast as he could he noticed that Akane was trying to follow him as he made his way to Tofu's clinic.

To be continued.
