The 3 R's of Martial Arts - Chapter 7
/Night---7:45/
"What!?" Ryuu yelled.
"Interesting..." Ryo commented.
"Why?" Ranma asked.
"Because I consider you four a part of this family. And you have the right to attend out City Counsel Meeting," Suon replied.
"I hate politics," Came Ranma and Ryuu's simultaneous reply.
"We'll go," Ryo answered.
"I refuse to-"
"Or I will restrict the sugar content of your diet, Ryuu."
Ryuu narrowed his eyes at Ryo, "Oh, you are so lucky you got Jewel around..."
Nabiki walked in and turned to the assembled group, "Then it's settled. Let's get going."
/Nerima City Counsel--8:20/
"Welcome to this month's Counsel meeting. We shall first discuss today's agenda..." the Counsel President said.
Ryuu and Ranma, who could care less about what was on the agenda, were already asleep 5 minutes into the agenda talk.
Ryo listened intently, (How, I still don't know.), as did everyone else who stayed awake.
/ 9:00 /
"And so that ends the agenda for this month. Now we shall open up Public Discussion, ...Blah, blah, blah...Please begin." (I attended one of these meetings just the other day, this is literally what they start sounding like after a full hour.)
A small almost midget type woman walked up to the micrphone, "I want to talk about the random squirrels I have found lying dead around the town." (C'mon, you knew someone was going to say something sooner or later...)
Ryuu awoke at the word "squirrels" and his eyes widened at the realization of what exactly the woman was talking about.
"Shit..." was Ryuu's exact response/whisper.
"I have found charred squirrels randomly lying about town. And would like the Counsel to look into it, and possibly solve this mystery."
The next thing Ryuu knew he was up there, unknowingly defending himself and his pyro ways.
"...Squirrels are evil. They are constantly digging up flower bulbs. And causing other housing problems for others, ...Blah, blah, blah...And would like to conclude, that, if anything, there should be a cleaning service for the squirrel carcasses, thank you."
(I actually have an Uncle who had had squirrel problems. The squirrel was eating a hole into the side of the house by the attic. Of course...there is no more squirrel to cause anymore problems anymore...heh...fire....)
As Ryuu sat down, there was silence...........and then clapping.
The rest of the night was uneventful as the meeting went on until 12:30.
As they made their way home, Ranma ended up carrying Akane. She had fallen asleep during the meeting and Ryuu & Ryo had volunteered Ranma to carry Akane home, instead of waking her up.
Ranma mumbled very colorful words as they walked, but stopped abruptly as Akane unconsciencely snuggled into his chest and smiled lightly.
"Uncute Tomboy..." Ranma muttered, though his thoughts were looking at an entirely different view.
Ryuu smiled and silently chuckled at Ranma.
Nabiki was feeling tired and decided to use that as an excuse to use Ryuu as a pillow of some sort.
Ryuu blushed furiously as Nabiki leaned against him, "Wha-huh?"
"I'm tired. Just this once, then never again, please?" Nabiki asked as she yawned.
Ryuu hesitantly put his arm around Nabiki's shoulders. As they both relaxed Ryuu moved his face to whisper something into Nabiki's ear.
"Never say never, for there's always a next time," Ryuu whispered.
Nabiki blushed as she felt Ryuu's warm breath on her ear. She nodded on agreement, Ryuu's words had caught her off guard.
Kasumi had been watching all of this and suddenly had the urge to hold her secret crush's hand.
Ryo had been smiling as Ranma stopped his complaining, and Ryuu made good use of his advice.
Kasumi blushed as her hand silently sought out Ryo's hand.
As Kasumi grasped Ryo's hand, he turned and smiled a turn-your-legs-to-jelly smile. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze and Kasumi took it as an encouraging sign. So she leaned her head on his shoulder as they walked.
Genma was watching the six of them as he and Suon walked behind them. Genma smiled and spoke to Suon, "I told you they'd come to their senses soon."
Suon smiled back, "Do you think we should help any?"
"No. We saw with our own eyes what they're capable of alone."
As the two men stopped walking they watched their children continue on ahead. Once they were far enough behind they shouted a familiar cry.
"The schools will be united at last!!!"
The six teenagers shook their heads in exasperation.
Meanwhile a single woman, with white hair and a sheathed katana in hand, turned away from the Counsel Building with tears in her eyes.
"My children are alive and well..."

REVIEWS:
Ryo's Destiny- So glad you enjoyed it. And yes, having the power to kill with lightening is pretty damn fun...
Koala Kitty- I am SO sorry, if I offended you with that scene!! I'm also from America and enjoy poking people. Danielle is actually a real person, and a friend of mine. When I had just started writing this fic she wanted a part in the story and that's what I wrote. She was happy and so was I. I didn't think that scene would offend anyone...But I have learned very quickly that when I think....I'm usually wrong. Please! I hope you don't stop reading, I always enjoy reviews from you...
Mimi-chan15- You are by far one of my favorite reviewers next to Ryo's Destiny and Koala Kitty! You so rule! And yes, fire rocks...of course so does the power to fry people. Doesn't having to make choices suck? And yes, only men can really sport the bald look...
