Ranma ½ Live Cosplay!

AN: This takes place after the end of the anime series, this wasn't the end of Ranma's wacky adventures and so here is one of them!  PS: I can't do Kuno's style of poetry so I'm not going to even try. I invite anyone to try.

Chapter 1: The Adventure Begins!

(At a shop not far from the Tendo Dojo and, about 1 week after the failed wedding.)

Kuno says, "I hear you've just come into possession a sword of magic that guarantees the defeat of any enemy that it is swung at."

Shop Owner says, "Yes I have, but I got it so that I could keep it safe! There is no way that I could possibly sell it! (Turns away from Kuno) Not even if you hit me in the head with a large wad of bills!" (He gets hit hard aside the head with a large wad of money.)

The Shop Owner hands Kuno the sword before Kuno looks at the odd sword and laughs in such a way that it scares the customers that are in the store out!

Kuno walks out of the store and yells aloud to no one in particular, "I have you now Ranma Saotome!"

At the Tendo living room Ranma sneezes and rubs his nose. Akane is sitting by him and says jokingly, "Looks like someone is talking about you Ranma!" Ranma grumbles and says, "Aw, who'd talk about me Akane."

(Then the next day)

Ranma is dressed in his favorite red outfit and Akane was dressed in her usual clothes that she wore for school and they were running from the Tendo home, late as usual.

Akane says, "Ranma! I can't believe it, we're going to be late again because you had to fight with your father over some food!"

Ranma says, "Aw, give me a break Akane! If he weren't such a hog, I wouldn't have to fight with him over every scrap of food!"

Just then they spot Kuno in front of them holding an unusual looking sword in his left hand. Kuno has on his face an expression that he usually wore when he thought he was sure to win, like the time he had the phoenix.

Ranma looks at Kuno who looked as haughty as ever and says, "Hey Kuno, we're on our way to school. Get out of the way!"

Kuno doesn't move and says, "I have come to defeat you evil wizard Ranma so that the lovely pig-tailed girl shall be free of your evil clutches!" Kuno raises the sword up to point the tip at Ranma before continuing to say, "With this sword, I shall defeat you in one slice of my Switcher and you shall be banished to where you deserve to go!"

Ranma was standing a good distance still from Kuno so he thought he was safe and felt like he could handle Kuno even if he did use that weird sword of his. Turning his head to Akane just a little he says to her, "Stay back Akane, I can handle him" However this got Akane upset and she yells, "Ranma! You forget I'm a martial artist too!"

Kuno yells, "Enough of this! This is the day in which I banish you Ranma!" and swings his sword straight at Ranma and a weird bluish jagged slash that follows the path of Kuno's swipe leaps out from the sword.

Meanwhile Akane grabs a hold of Ranma and says angrily, "Ranma! You're not my husband yet! You can't…" Akane never gets a chance to finish her sentence as Ranma sees Kuno swinging the sword and jumps at her to shield her with is body as he yells, "Look out Akane!"

The light from the sword hits and engulfs both Ranma and Akane and with a FZZZZZAAASH! They both vanish into the light, leaving nothing to indicate that they'd been standing there only a few moments ago.

Kuno stands there and laughs loudly as he throws the non-sharp side of the sword to his shoulder before saying, "I have finally beaten you Saotome!" Kuno then sheaths the sword and rambles about how Akane and the Pig-tailed girl are both going to be his now even as he fails to notice that Akane had disappeared with Akane! This fact doesn't hit him until later at school when Nabiki asks Kuno if he'd seen Akane anywhere.

Kuno cries at the loss of Akane while a stunned Nabiki realizes that Kuno did two impossible things… A) Kuno defeated Ranma! B) He harmed Akane!

Nabiki gets so angry that after she hits Kuno hard enough to make a good-sized crater in the wall at the back of the class, she decides that punch wasn't enough! She hatches a few schemes that will completely ruin and embarrass Kuno!

The full force of Akane and Ranma's loss doesn't hit her until she gets home and has to inform her family and Genma about what happened. Neither family can deal with it and think that Nabiki is joking at first but her serious expression followed by tears over Akane leave the facts inescapable, Akane and Ranma are gone!

Everyone, even Happosai who had come in with a large bag full of women's underwear just in time to hear the news spend the rest of the night crying and thinking very, very angry thoughts at Kuno!
