The Two Ranma's

Chapter 3- Fine Line Between Love and Hate
"Gahh," Ranma groaned, falling down onto the couch. "Jeeze... who knew Akane had so much to deal with at school,"
Ranma, or Ranko, had spent the whole day at school trying to escape the hold of Kuno. Now with Ranko, Akane actually gets a break from him, which is nice. Not to Ranma, of course.
"Ranma, come here!" called Akane.
"Yea?" Ranma ran into the dojo.
Akane leaped towards him, her short hair waving in the wind.
Ranma's eyes widened, a blush covering his face.
"Oh Ranma! I love you, Ranma!" she called grabbing him in a romantic hug.
Ranma was going to pull away, but couldn't bring himself too...
"Ranma..." she called out to him dreamily. Ranma looked at her, his eyes full of confusion.
"Oh Ranma..."
'Why does she keep saying my name?'
"RANMA!" Screamed Akane. Ranma shook himself awake from his fantasy.
'Oh my god! I was fantacising about Akane and I!' he yelled at himself mentally for that. He couldn't be getting thoughts for that tomboy, no way.
"Jeeze, Ranma. It's about time you woke up," She sighed.
"Why'd you wake me up?" Ranma yelled.
"Well, looks like somebody is here for your sister. I wanted you to go find her," she said.
Ranma arose in curiousity. Who could be here for his girl side?
"OK, I'll go find her," Ranma got up and as he walked by the doorway, he tripped and unfortunatlely landed in a small puddle of water. How it got there, nobody knows, but he was now in his girl form. He peeked out the door.
"H..hello?" she whispered, the immediatly regretted looking to see who it was.
It was Shampoo, the Amazon chinese girl that tried to kill her while she and Genma were traveling through China!
"You!" the chinese girl yelled. "You eat Shampoo's prize! Now you die!" She yelled, and Ranko scrieched as she closed the door and ran through the house. In less than three seconds, a giant blast echoed through the Tendo household, followed by a giant hole appearing in the door.
"You..must..DIE!" yelled Shampoo as she ran through the house after Ranko.
"AHHH!" screamed Ranko as Shampoo quickly caught up to her.
"Why...do...you...want..to..kill me?" Ranko asked, running as rast as her female legs could take her.
Shampoo ignored the redhead's question and without hesitation, through one of her bonborri's at Ranko.
"AH!" Ranko screamed as she fell onto the floor under the weight of the small weapon that weighed a ton.
"What's going on in here?" yelled Akane as she came running into the house.
"Help me, Akane! She's going to kill me!"
Akane was a bit shocked. Ranko never seemed like the girl that would ask for help, so this purple haired girl must really be trying to threaten Ranko's life.
"Hey now, what's your problem?" Akane asked Shampoo, getting in the way of Ranko and Shampoo.
"Shampoo must kill redhead girl!" said Shampoo. Akane looked at Ranko, and back at Shampoo.
"What'd she ever do to you?"
"That no matter! She must die!" she yelled. Ranko took this chance to escape. Little did she know, the fight between her and Shampoo would soon pass to Akane and Shampoo.
"What! I don't think so!" Akane yelled. She wasn't going to let some stranger enter her house and try to kill one of her guests!
Akane got in her fighting stance and the fight began.
Ranma was panting as he ran through the house to where Shampoo was. Right after he had drenched himself in the hot water, he had realized that Shampoo's honor was the most important thing in the world to her and Akane had a sharp tongue, so that didn't make for a great match.
'She had better not hurt Akane...' Ranma thought. Though not living at the Tendo resident for long, he has developed a liking to Akane. He knew she didn't care much for his boy side, but she really liked the girl side. His girl side and Akane were best friends. Ranko spent endless nights listening to Akane go on about school and her life. Every minute they were together, Ranma fell even more in love with her.
"Akane!" Ranma yelled as he ran into the living room.
Akane was bent over, panting. Shampoo had obviously put up a great fight.
"Akane!" he yelled again.
"Don't worry, I'm here to... AHH!" and with that, he tripped over a small object on the floor and went flying toawrds Shampoo.
Shampoo was too preoccupied with her anger towards Akane to even notice the flying mass headed towards her.
"EEEK!" she scrieched as Ranma crashed into her. And unfortunately for Ranma, he landed on Shampoo so that their lips met.
Akane, who had just recently looked up, felt her whole body grow warm in anger.
"Aya!" Shampoo sighed as Ranma quickly jumped up, his face red.
"I..I'm sorry!" he stammered. He was saying sorry more to Akane than Shampoo.
"Ranmaaaaa..." Akane's head bent as her aura grew. She was clenching her fists.
"I didn't...AHHH!" and before he could finish, he was sent flying through Japan.
"Name Ranma?" Shampoo asked, looking up at Akane. She sighed. "Yep,"
Shampoo smiled, a dreamy look on her face. "What man..." she muttered, looking up at the sky.
Akane's eyes widened and her face was flustered at that comment. Then, Shampoo was gone.
When Ranma finally got back, Akane was laying on the couch, flipping through the channels.
Ranma glared as he walked into his room.
The walk to school yesterday for Ranma and Akane was very awkward.
During school, scecifically during during lunch, Ranma felt very uncomfortable. As if someone was watching him.
After school, as Ranma and Akane walked home together, their silence was broken.
"Ranma Saotome," came a voice from behind them. They turned around and seen a guy with a huge spatula.
"Yea?" Ranma was annoyed that the silence was broken.
"Hiya!" he yelled, pulling out his spatula. Ranma's eyes widened, as did Akane's.
He charged at Ranma. "Wha?" was all he could say. He jumoped out of the way of the spatula.
"Ranma! You left me and now you shall pay!" he screamed again.
"Who are you?" Ranma asked, clueless. The guy stopped his attack in midair.
"You..you don't remember?" he whispered.
"Uh... I'm thinking," Ranma looked as though if he thought any harder, he was going to seriously strain his brain.
"Remember the little girl you left a long time ago?" he asked, irritably.
"Oh yea! Ucchan! Is she here?" He asked.
The guys eyes twitched.
"I AM Uchhan, you jerk!" the now founded she exclaimed, swinging her spatula at him again.
"You are? Oh good! For a second there, I thought I was turning gay!" Ranma exclaimed, smiling. He had his hand behind his head. Akane was just standing there, completely confused, observing their conversation.
"what are you talking about?" she asked, lowering the spatula.
"Well, when I saw your face, I was like 'Wow! Cute!' I'm glad you're not a guy.." Akane prepared to get her mallet out.
Ukyo blushed slightly, putting her spatula away.
"Of course I'm not gay! I can recognise a girl's face even if she's dressed in guys clothes.." Ranma reassued himself.
"Do you...mean it?" Ukyo said, her eyes gleaming.
"Of cou..AH!" Ranma couldn't finish because he had a one-way ticket to outer space. Akane breathed heavily, as she put her mallet away.Ukyo just double blinked at the girl.
"Who are you?" Ukyo asked.
"I'm Akane. His fiance," she exxagerated the fiance part, then turned around and left before the situation got any more awkward.
