Heavenly Intervention

Chapter 02

Return of The King

Kimiko sat in the Tendo living room at the table across from Nabiki, Kasumi, and eleven year old Tetsuo. "Now remember," She started, holding a postcard with a picture of a panda on it. "We haven't seen Akane in five years due to the fact that she was in China and couldn't visit every month."

Tetsuo, who was a fairly good looking boy, he had short brown hair and large bright redish eyes. "Do you think she brought us souvenirs?" He wondered.

Kimiko glared at him. "Tetsuo!" Tetsuo lowered his head and Kimiko continued. "Just keep in mind that five years is a long time and she may be a little different than you all remember. Just keep in mind that no matter how much she's changed she's still your sister."

Kasumi smiled. "Mother I don't think that there's anything that could surprise us about her. She's still been sending postcards, those tell us a little bit about her."

Nabiki smirked. "I always thought that it looked more like a Christmas list than a letter home." She said.

Kimiko frowned and glared. "Nabiki! That's not very nice!" Nabiki lowered her head. "Still..." Kimiko said. "It tells us what she's interested in."

Nabiki and Kasumi rolled their eyes nearly simultaneously. "Uh huh...and why are we getting this talk?" Kasumi asked. "Why are you all of a sudden worried what we think of Akane?"

Kimiko sighed and lowered her head. "Because I got a postcard today from your father and your father's friend Genma as well."

Nabiki frowned not liking the sound of this. "Why do I not like the sound in your voice?" Nabiki wondered darkly.

Kimiko sighed, then put on a fake smile. "Let's just wait for your sister to come back."

Tetsuo frowned and crossed his arms. "Damn it! All this waiting is boring."

"Tetsuo! What did I tell you about your language!?" Kimiko said. Tetsuo rolled his eyes and rested his head on the table. "Girls... just try not to be too surprised by anything. Keep open minds."

****************

It was raining outside and two figures could be seen running down the street. One was a Japanese male around 16 or so years old with a really muscular form. He had short spiky black hair and was wearing an all black Chinese martial arts uniform. The other was a tall woman with long black hair tied back in a ponytail. She wore a brown martial arts gi which was fairly loose and showed off her large breasts. The boy was far ahead of the older woman and turned back to call out to her.

"COME ON DAD!!! WE'RE ALREADY LATE!!"

The woman was panting they had been running for a long time and she was just about ready to drop. The boy seemed to have a limitless supply of energy. "Wait... up. Air........"

****************

A short time later on the exact same street. A lone girl, with bright red hair tied back in a pigtail, wearing a Red martial arts ghi with white trim and black pants was running as fast as she possible could. She was being chased by a large Panda standing on it's hind legs which was gaining on her. "DAMN IT POP! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!"

The panda didn't say anything, it just lunged forward and attacked. The red head dodged the panda fist by jumping into the air and then spring-boarding off his head. The panda became enraged and attacked repeatedly, the girl managed to block or dodge everything, she decided to quite playing around and she kicked the large panda in the face as hard as she could, sending it flying to a nearby wall. "Growf." it muttered, in a dazed state.

The girl picked up a traveling pack that the panda was holding and shouldered it. "I'm going home old man, so suck on that!!" The red headed girl then turned and began walking away. She didn't realize that the panda had regained it's senses though and was oblivious as it pulled out a street sign and swung it at the back of her head, knocking her unconscious from the force of the blow but not doing any damage.

The panda looked around at all the bystanders who all saw the goings on and shrugged as he picked up the girl and threw her over his shoulder. The panda then began to walk towards a certain dojo.

***************

"I'M HOOOOOOME!!!!!"

Nabiki and Kasumi smiled as they heard the voice and the door open. The two older Tendo daughters shared an excited glance with each other and then stood up quickly from their places at the table and ran towards the door. They stopped when they saw a spiky haired boy with open arms.

"NABIKI! KASUMI!!" He said, grabbing them in a hug before they could stop their forward momentum.

The two girls struggled to get out of the boy's embrace. "Excuse me! But who the heck are you!?" Nabiki wondered as she glared at the boy who let go and stepped back a bit.

Before the boy could say anything Kimiko walked forward and grabbed the boy's hand in a firm handshake. "You must be Ranma Saotome." She said. "It's nice to meet you."

"Huh?" said the boy as a winded older woman with long black hair tied in a pony tail struggled to get through the door.

Kimiko sighed and turned to the angry looking and confused Nabiki and the just confused Kasumi. "Girls? There's something that you should know, I guess it can't wait until Akane gets here but..."

"Wait!" Said the boy, successfully stopping the mother of four from saying any more. Everyone was now looking at the short spiky haired boy curiously. "It's me. I'm Akane!"

"WHAT!?!?!?" yelled, Kasumi, Nabiki, Kimiko, and Tetsuo, who was now just joining the group.

The boy who claimed to be Akane smiled. "It's kind of a long story but here's the generalized version." He said. "Me and Dad went to a cursed training grounds and now we got curses that change our sex completely. It's no big deal."

Kimiko fainted. Kasumi fainted as well. Tetsuo smiled widely. Nabiki looked skeptical. "Well whoever you are. You're helping me with them." She said pointing to the women on the floor.

The older woman who followed the boy into the house got tears in her eyes and she bent down beside Kimiko. "Ohhh Kimiko, I'm so sorry!! I should have never taken our daughter away!"

Nabiki rolled her eyes, *Okay, that seems like Dad.* she noted in her mind. *They may just be telling the truth.*

******************

Kimiko groggily awoke and blink blinked as she noticed the people surrounded around her. "I had such a strange dream." She said. "I dreamed the Akane came back and she was a boy."

"Hi mom."

Kimiko sat up and noticed that there was a girl there with Nabiki, and Kasumi, and Tetsuo. A pair of hands rest on her shoulders and she turned around to see her husband Soun. Kimiko gave off a high pitched noise of happiness and wrapped her arms around her spouse. "Oh Soun darling you're back."

Soun smiled and held her back for a moment. "Yes I have returned with Akane... and I have completed her training." He said as he clenched a fist and stared off into the distance with tears streaming down his face. He then started to blubber. "WAAAAAH!!! THE SCHOOLS WILL NEVER BE JOINED NOW!!!" He said, crying like a baby.

Kimiko looked confused and then turned to Akane, who was sporting a very short spiked hair cut, and looked MUCH older than sixteen. She looked to be about 19 or 20. "Akane?" she wondered. "What happened to your beautiful hair?"

Akane smiled and touched one of the hair spikes. "I like it better this way, it's very practical and easy to take care of."

Kimiko then lunged forward and hugged Akane. "My baby's finally home to stay!" She said. "Finally, we're a family again."

Just then as they were all getting reacquainted with each other there was a sound at the front door which sounded like a one way argument or something. Akane smiled and ran to the door, knowing exactly what that sound was. Soun then noticed a postcard laying on the table and he jumped up and ran to the door. Nabiki, out of curiosity, followed the two travelers quickly.

Kimiko stood up, looked towards they all disappeared, and looked confused. Just then there was a scream and Nabiki and Soun came running back. Nabiki hid behind her mother and Soun stumbled to the floor and just looked at the entrance. "W...What's going on?" Kimiko wondered.

Just then Akane came walking back, followed by a large panda carrying a red haired girl with a pigtail. The panda stopped and set the red haired girl down. The girl had her head lowered and frowned.

"Who are you?" Kimiko wondered, out loud not even knowing she had asked the question.

The pigtailed girl sighed. "I'm Ranma Saotome... sorry about this."

Kimiko and Soun fainted.

*****************

Soun and Kimiko awoke later on and once again there was a small crowd of people around. Soun groaned. "Uhhh, Ranma?" He said as he sat up. Ranma looked slightly embarrassed and the panda was still around. Soun put on a serious expression. "So... you and your father went to Jusenkyo didn't you?" He asked the petite red headed girl.

Ranma and the panda looked surprised and their eyes bugged out. "You... you know about Jusenkyo?" Ranma asked the man.

Soun nodded gravely and stood up. "W...What are you talking about?" Kimiko asked her husband.

Soun looked at the panda with fiery eyes. "Genma my friend..." He started. The panda looked seriously and awaited the rest of the man's words. "There is something I have not told you. I too took my daughter on a training trip and Jusenkyo was one of the first places that we went when we went to China, we too have Jusenkyo curses."

Kimiko sat upright and frowned while she grabbed her head. "Can somebody please explain to me what Jusenkyo is!?" she asked. "Why is Ranma a girl? And why is Genma a PANDA!!!"

Everyone in the immediate vicinity balked at the Tendo matriarch's stern voice. She normally never raised her voice. Akane sighed and decided to speak for the four Jusenkyo cursed people. "Jusenkyo, mom, is a valley of cursed springs in the Bayankala mountain range in China. Every spring has it's own unique curse. When somebody falls into the waters their bodies change into the form of whatever last drowned there." Akane then pointed to Ranma, "He fell into the spring of drowned girl," she then pointed to Genma, "and he fell into the spring of drowned Panda."

Kimiko looked horrified and worried. "That's horrible!" She then turned to Akane. "Didn't you and your father go to that Jusenkyo place? What does your father mean you have curses?... You look normal."

Akane smiled. "It's okay mom. The curses are reversible."

"So..." Kasumi started, who hadn't said anything up till now. "You and father cured yourselves?"

"No." Akane stated.

Nabiki looked confused. "What do you mean no? You just said that they were reversible!"

"Well it's only temporary. The curses are triggered by hot and cold water. Hot water returns a cursed one to their original form and cold or room temperature water turns you into your cursed form." Akane replied.

Soun nodded. "Akane and I were just lucky to get humanoid curses. We could have become anything from a cockroach to a dinosaur."

Tetsuo, who had been inconspicuous until now came up behind Soun and Akane with two cups of cold water and splashed them. Kimiko gasped as they transformed into the opposite sex. "Coooool!!!!" Tetsuo said as he then ran back to the kitchen to get some hot water.

Tears started to stream from Kimiko's eyes. The male Akane sighed. "Mom. It's okay... the curse isn't a problem for me... I kind of like it at times."

Ranma rolled his eyes feigning boredom but really he was surprised that the girl had the complete opposite curse as him. "I don't see how you could ever like a curse like that."

Kimiko started to cry. "My husband turns into a girl and my daughter turns into a boy!!! Akane how did this happen!!?"

Akane sighed. "Well it basically went like this."

*****************

Akane and her father Soun were walking along a path in remote China, Akane was wearing her all black Chinese martial arts ghi and Soun was wearing his usual brown ghi. They were both carrying large heavy traveling packs. "We're finally here!" Akane said excitedly as they came into a clearing where they could see Jusenkyo off in the distance.

Soun smiled. "I'm quite proud of you Akane. You're already one of the best martial artists in the world... and you keep learning. A father couldn't be happier to see his little girl's dreams come true."

"I know quite a few places where I could advance my skills a great deal. This is only the beginning."

Soun chuckled. "That's my little girl. I only wish I had your passion for the art when I was training under the master." He said.

Akane smiled mischievously. "Happosai wasn't it? Wasn't Happosai the name of your master?" She asked.

Soun went white. Akane snickered and ran ahead into Jusenkyo. Soun ran to catch up and did so quickly. They were met by a chubby Chinese guide at the entrance of Jusenkyo. "Nihao!" He said.

Akane smiled and began to talk to the man in Chinese. Soun looked confused as he did not pick up the native language as Akane did so he was quite in the dark as to what they were talking about. "Excuse me?" He asked. "What is he saying?"

Akane smiled and said a few last things in Chinese before saying, "Please in Japanese so that my father can understand what you are saying. Now...can you show us to the springs I had specified?"

The Jusenkyo guide nodded. "Yes I will do so honored sirs. Welcome to Jusenkyo, very tragic place of cursed springs. I show you the way."

The guide began to walk in the direction of the springs. Akane and Soun followed eager to get to training. The guide pointed to one spring and looked to Akane. "That spring is Nannichuan." He then moved his hand to point at another spring. "That one is Nyanichuan."

Akane nodded and pulled out a wad of American cash. "There you go sir... for your services." The guide smiled and pocketed the money.

Akane dropped her pack and looked to her Dad who dropped his as well. "Well Dad... shall we practice? No time like the present."

Soun nodded. "Quite right Akane. After you." He said motioning with his hands for Akane to go first."

Akane and her father then jumped up to the bamboo poles sticking out of all the springs to begin their training. The guide surprisingly didn't try to stop them.

Akane and Soun began to fight on top of the vertical bamboo poles while all the while keeping perfect balance. Akane started off easy and let her father get a few hits in, if anything just to make him feel like he was a little bit of a challenge. Soun stopped and smirked. "You're going easy on me girl... I want you to go all out."

Akane stopped as well and smirked very similarly. "You'll have to do your best just to stay in a few more seconds old man."

Soun chuckled. "Heh. I hardly WOULF!!!"

Soun suddenly went flying downward as Akane's fist impacted with his diaphragm, knocking him into one of the springs that the guide had pointed out earlier. Akane then landed one a pole and crouched down, touching the top of the pole with just the tips of her fingers as she laughed, the pole beneath her suddenly exploded though and she went tumbling into the other spring that the guide had pointed out.

Both of them broke the surface shortly after they were submersed in the waters and gasped for breath. They climbed out of the springs and walked to the shore where the guide was waiting for them. He was standing over Akane and shaking his head sadly. "Oh too bad. You fall in Nannichuan, spring of drowned boy, very tragic legend of boy who drown in pool three hundred years ago. Now whoever fall into spring take a body of a young boy." He said. Akane just smirked on the inside while she pretended to be upset on the outside.

Soun saw Akane and heard what the guide had said. "Akane!" he said. Soun 'eeped' when he heard his the voice that came out of his mouth. It was decidedly high pitched and... feminine. Soun then looked down at his open ghi and saw the two large mounds that he now sported, indicating that he was indeed now a she. Soun screamed.

The guided turned his attention to the now female Soun Tendo. "Ooh too bad honored sir. You fall into spring of drowned girl. Very tragic legend of girl who drown 750 year ago. Now whoever fall into pool take a body of a young girl."

**************

"...and that's how we got our curses." Akane said, cutting the tale off there.

Nabiki frowned something wasn't fitting here. "Akane-kun... why did you ask the guide to show you those two springs?" She asked. "Did you plan to fall into them?"

"Nabiki!" Kimiko scolded.

Akane held up his hands. "Don't worry mother it's all right. No I didn't plan on it... it was just part of the training. We were fighting, the person who loses the fight... falls into one of the springs. I knew I'd beat Dad. I just made sure that if he was going to get a curse as a repercussion of his sloppy fighting then it would be a humanoid one. Could you imagine how hard it would be to adapt to turning into a cat, or a dog, or a COCKROACH!!!"

Nabiki bowed her head. "I'm sorry Akane." She said.

Kasumi looked confused. "Akane? How did you get your curse? You said that the pole blew up?"

Akane shrugged. "Well that's just how I put it. You could say that it shattered. This training ground it millions of years old... I think it's safe to say that a few of the poles are a bit dilapidated."

Kasumi smiled. "Okay, that makes sense."

Kimiko turned to Ranma who had been mostly quiet during their tale. "Oh my." Kimiko said putting her hand to her mouth. "That's right I almost forgot."

Everyone looked to Kimiko now in curiosity. "Uhm. Well My husband Soun, and Genma made a pact several years ago that one of our daughters would marry their son Ranma."

Everyone was silent.

Kimiko continued. "I've been putting it off and I kind of forgot to tell you all about it."

Soun-chan smiled and slapped Ranma on the back. "HA HA!! That's right! Ranma my boy! Pick any of my daughters she'll be your new fiancé. We want the Anything goes school of martial arts to live on, so long ago Genma and I decided that we would unite the schools."

"WHAT!?!?!?" Ranma screamed as she looked around at everyone frantically. "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!! IS THIS A JOKE!?!?"

Soun and Genma smiled.

"No."

"Growf."

Nabiki and Kasumi put their hands on Akane's shoulders. "He want's Akane." Nabiki said.

"Yes it's like their made for each other." Kasumi seconded. "She's got the complete opposite curse."

"Their both martial artists."

"They've both been on training trips most of their lives."

Akane smirked. "Actually... I always figured that opposites attract. Me and Ranma are virtually the same."

"What a good idea!" Soun said. "Akane and Ranma would make a lovely couple."

"Agreed!" said Genma who had just been doused by Tetsuo along with Ranma.

"Ha ha! It's settled then." Soun said. "Akane is now betrothed to Ranma. CONGRATULATIONS!!" Soun and Genma then hugged each other and had tears streaming down their faces. "I'm going to be a Grandpa!!!" Soun blubbered.

"Oh happy day!" Genma seconded.

Akane frowned as her mother put her hands on his back and agreed with the male parents that were present. "This is not how I planned things." Akane muttered to herself.

**************

Akane frowned as she sat in the Tendo dojo. It seemed to be the only place that she could find refuge at the moment. Everywhere else there was somebody ready to congratulate her or somehow remind her that she was now married to Ranma. "This is stupid." Akane muttered as she leaned against the wall. "I'm twenty something years old, and know more about these people then they do. It should be easy to manipulate them and make things turn out the way I want to. What the hell is wrong?" Akane looked towards one of the sliding doors of the dojo. "I'm even a better fighter than everyone why...? Why can't I stop this madness?"

Akane sighed and stood up. *I'm going to bed damn it.* She thought as she padded her way to her room. She was in her canon form, which was much older looking than her male form, which looked like any other teenage boy.

When she got to her room she was surprised to see Ranma in his male form sitting on her bed in her room. "Ranma?" She asked when she entered. "What are you doing here?"

Ranma sighed and looked to the floor. "Listen... Akane."

Akane nodded and walked over to her traveling pack which had not yet been opened since she got back. "Yeah that's my name. Glad you remembered."

Ranma coughed slightly and continued. "Yeah... well, this whole engagement thing."

"Mm hmm?"

"Well yah see it's like... it wasn't my idea so don't go getting mad or anything." he said, furrowing his eyebrows as if in challenge.

Akane turned around with an inquisitive look as she pulled out a small stereo and a few C.D.'s. "Ranma Saotome... that sounds like a challenge. What'd my Dad say to you?"

Ranma turned and looked away from Akane. "Nuthin... everyone just said... well we all had a little poll."

"Poll?" Akane said as she plugged in the stereo. "That must be a new word for you, know what it means?"

Ranma frowned pretending to ignore her and failing miserably. "They asked which one of us would win in a fight... and everyone but me voted for you."

Akane chuckled and put in one of her C.D.'s. "Well majority rules so the poll must speak the truth." Akane said. *Oh this is golden!* she thought.

Ranma stood up defensively and glared at her. "Yeah! Well I figure I can beat a tomboy like you any day I want without any trouble!" Ranma said.

Akane sighed. "Ranma, it's late and I'm tired." She said as System of a Down began to load. "Why don't you go to bed and we'll talk about this in the morning. We've both got school in the morning so get out of my room." She said calmly before standing up and looking Ranma in the eye.

Ranma leaned forward and glared harder. "Make me tomboy!"

Akane sighed and grabbed the door handle, she then grabbed Ranma and pushed him outside. Ranma tried to break her grip and use his high martial arts skills to evade her and stay in the room but Akane was too quick, too strong, and too skilled for him. She then slammed the door behind her. "Good night Ranma!" She called back before turning the music up, changing and then getting into bed.

Ranma just stared at the door ahead of him as he sat on his ass. "I was beaten." He stuttered in a state of shock. "By... a girl!"

***************

The next day, "Why do I have to wear the girl's uniform!" A female Ranma complained as she walked beside a male Akane, in a Furinkan boy's uniform, and Nabiki.

Akane smiled as He walked casually to school beside his sister and his betrothed. "Because I decided that I will be attending school as a boy and thus got to wear the boy's school uniform. All that was left was a girl's uniform and you can't attend school without one so you're stuck with it until we can get a boy's uniform for you too."

Ranma sighed and slumped her shoulders. "This is stupid! If my old man ever caught me wearing this he'd kill me!"

Akane shrugged. "So what? It'll give you a chance to get used to your curse and maybe even appreciate it." He said. "Besides..." He said with a smile. "You look soooo cute like that."

Ranma glared back at Akane. "If you wasn't really a girl I'd kick your ass." She said.

"No you wouldn't... cause you couldn't." Akane replied.

Ranma continued to glare at the smiling Akane when Nabiki broke through. "You guys... how will you ever fall in love if keep bitching like that?" She said. "Besides I'm sure you'll both find somebody at school who you'll love to hate."

Akane smiled and squinted his eyes. "No, wait... don't tell me. My psychic powers tell me that the man you are speaking of is named........ Tatewaki Kuno."

Nabiki stared at her younger sister turned brother blankly. "How did you...?"

Akane chuckled. "Heh. I have psychic powers."

Nabiki rolled her eyes. "Oh please. Anyway we're coming up to the school now you guys."

Akane smiled a very fake smile. "Oh boy... I can't wait." He said sarcastically.

Ranma didn't even bother to hide his disappointment. "Oh whoopie."

When they got to the school it was no different than any other school. People were wandering the school yards, talking, gossiping, and basically doing usual high school stuff. Akane unintentionally kept eyeing pretty girls, Ranma seemed to not notice anybody, and Nabiki had already taken off to talk with her friends.

Just then a rose impacted in the pavement in front of Ranma who stopped and looked down at it. "What the hell?" She said as she picked it up and examined it. Akane hadn't bothered to care and continued walking as thought she didn't even know Ranma. The area around Ranma suddenly got quiet and then... it struck.

***************

Akane smiled when the lunch bell came. It was a relief to get out of the classroom. He was far ahead all the other students academically so it wasn't hard, but it was boring as hell and he couldn't stand it. He decided that he should go outside for lunch, it was a nice day and after being stuck in those classrooms for god knows how long he felt he needed a little bit of air. Akane noticed Ranma and Nabiki sitting at a table with a few of Nabiki's friends. Akane was in Ranma's class but they sat quite a ways away so didn't really see each other at all.

Akane smiled and walked over to the table they were at. "Hey Ranma, Nabiki." He greeted as he sat down and opened up the bento that her mother had packed for him. "How's school so far?" She wondered.

"Same old, same old." Nabiki said.

"I have descended into the fifth layer of hell." Ranma said grumpily as she glared at her own bento.

Akane smirked and picked up his chop sticks. "Awww what's got you down sweety?" He said mockingly. Ranma of course didn't notice.

"There's this jerk named Kuno after me!" Ranma said.

*Heh, as if I didn't know.* Akane mused in his mind.

Ranma continued. "He's trying to rape me or something. He keeps talking funny and I can't understand what he's trying to say!"

"I take it you kicked his ass?" Akane asked.

"Damn right I did!!!" Ranma replied. "He's gonna get it even worse the next time he tries anything funny! The pervert!"

"You there!" Came a voice from behind Akane.

Akane froze and sat straight up as he felt something poking into his back. *Uh, oh.* Akane turned around and smiled. "Can I do something for you?" He asked.

Tatewaki Kuno stood there holding his Bokken out in front of him, pointed at Akane's chest now. "Who are you fiend, to be talking with the fair Pig-tailed girl!?" He asked darkly. "The goddess' eyes be too fair, her skin to soft, her demeanor too kind for the likes of peasants like you." He said.

Akane smiled. "The pig-tailed girl is just a friend of mine. I have no interest in her whatsoever. I'm waiting for another girl.." He said to the older, by one year, boy.

Kuno's eyes flared. "You would dare!? To turn down the fair beauty of the pigtailed goddess!" He gasped. "IT CANNOT BE PERMITTED!!"

A crowd began to gather, hoping to watch a fight break out between the new boy and the Kendo champion of the school, who is, supposedly, unmatched. In the blink of an eye Akane broke Kuno's bokken in three pieces and beat the living crap out of him with lightning fast punches and kicks.

The crowd that gathered gasped as Kuno was all of a sudden sprawled out unconscious on the ground. "Too easy." Akane said, before walking away.

Kuno stood up and glared back, apparently to dumb to quit. "I FIGHT ON!!" He rambled.

Akane sighed. "This is getting boring." Akane stopped Kuno by grabbing both of his fists when he tried to attack without his severely damaged weapon. Akane glared into the other boy's eyes. "What's your problem?" He asked.

Kuno growled and tried to kick Akane in the groin, he blocked skillfully without letting go of the kendoist's hands. "I could not allow you to turn down the pigtailed girl as though she were't only but a peasant!" He said.

Akane looked confused. "So you were threatening to beat me up for hitting on Ranma, and then when it turned out that I wasn't you threatened to beat me up for NOT hitting on her?" Akane and all the students looked stupefied by the blatant contradiction. "I think I should report you to the principal." Akane said. "You can't exactly attack the Principal... you'd only get expelled."

"What base villainy be this!?" Kuno rambled. "You have not the proof to condemn one as high as mine self. You shalt be punished for your trickery foul sorcerer!"

Akane chuckled. "Oh this just keeps getting funnier. Now you're saying that I'm a sorcerer because I'm a better fighter than you? I'm probably the best human fighter on the planet!"

"Unhand me lest ye be punished by the gods for thine treachery." Kuno said darkly.

Akane nodded. "Very well then, I DOTH put thee down." Akane said.

"That's more like AAAGH!!!"

Akane proceeded to lift Kuno into the air and body slam him as hard as he could. The kendoist landed on the ground with a mighty crash and several bones were heard breaking. All the students crowded around the crater that had been formed. "Is he dead?" One student asked.

Akane chuckled. "Oh heavens no. But he needs serious medical attention or he will. Now I have an announcement for the entire school!!" Akane said as she jumped up onto one of the tables. Many of the students crowded around to listen to the boy who defeated the biggest bully in their school with no trouble at all. "I want none of you to EVER listen to Kuno, you need not be afraid of him in any way with me here! You've seen what I could do to him with no trouble at all. If he ever troubles you you just have to come to me and I will deal with the problem accordingly!"

All the students around cheered. Akane put up his hands to shush them, they quickly did. "However! This does not mean that I am a mercenary or a bully for hire!" Akane looked down at Nabiki as she said this last part. "I will help anyone with anything they need, but violence will be my last resort!!"

Nabiki looked stunned as she stared up at her Jusenkyo cursed sister. "She just single handedly took over the school." She muttered to herself. *hmmm, how can I exploit this?* she asked herself in her head. She then smiled darkly. *Oh it's not much but it's a start.* She thought, *But I can expand on this...yes... that's where the real money is.*

*****************

Later on, Akane smiled as he sat at the photo copier in the school's library, there was a large stack of different colored paper stacked up at the end of it. Akane just sat there smiling.

Author's Notes: {Well that's as much as I feel like doing for today... it's pretty late and I've got to finish off a little bit of my fanfics. It was a bit of a quick ending but it's merely just to set up the next chapter. Yes I actually have a plan for this story... sort of. Oh well, I think the next chapter will be dramatic, and comical... or one or the other... or it'll be all comedy... ah who cares. I basically come up with this stuff on the fly.

I like it. It's just for fun anyway. I'll probably write my own original stuff once I've finished with my fanfics... and college... and the other college... and the other college.

It's gonna be a long life for me. Yes I plan on going to three colleges. Maybe even two colleges and a university. Who knows where my life will lead me. I'm just gonna keep on keeping on and never forget the dream with which drive me to hold on and continue to strive for the better and the best.

That's some good advice... to all who read this... do what you KNOW you want to do.

Write that down.}
