Ranma's P.O.V
There I was standing, and pondering. Yes, I can think, but really things don't add up, like my everyday life, but still I can wonder why. Last things I remember was hurling myself at those foods and junk and then….. I was here.
As I find myself here, and this person stands in front of me, hooded.
"Who are you" I asked angrily.
"Nothing more than what you think I am, mister Saotome"
He paused for awhile; at least I think he did.
"You may see me as you see fit, I can be your nightmares you hopes or anybody. But this is how you see me. Still you do not understand which is understandable."
"Ranma Saotome, age 17, Personality... Egotistical, loud mouthed and pretty damn stubborn."
Whoa… when did this person get here?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Standing next to Ranma was another hooded person.
"Hey, jerk, who do ya think you're talkin' too?"
With that Ranma launched a basic attack to test his opponent. With no effort his opponent dodged his right punch, so Ranma fallowed up with a kick toward his face. His opponent just dodged.
"You're pretty good, how about we good at it?" Ranma asked with a bit of glee.
"Fine, let us have a go, but you won't land a hit on me this early. You haven't mastered what you need to even touch me."
"We'll see how ya do against the chestnut fist, Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken!"
Ranma proceeded with the fist speed he did against CopyCat Ken.
This is impossible, only Cologne can barely dodge, but I've never gone at 100. Damn it's like he can see all my moves but its impossible right?
"Ranma, you are good, but you cannot touch me. I, too, am something of your subconscious but more powerful than the one you see as you see. I represent something more powerful than fighting spirit. You'll soon learn what I am, and no sooner will you touch me."
Damn it, he's right. Why.. struggled to be the best, I went through ca-feline training, no everything I've done can't be for nothing. I'm sorry Akane..you..I..
Out of nowhere one of Ranma's fist hit the hooded figure and knocked of its hood.
Ooooh my gods… It's …..
Ranma was cut of quickly and his thoughts stopped as she spoke.
"Ranma, I'm what you call Ranko, the girl who died at the spring. I live in you, not to interfere, but as one as your emotions. What you see over there is another powerful emotion or trait you have you have. I represent your feeling for Akane…I."
Ranko was cut off by lots of yelling.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' BOUT!? I DON'T GOT NO FEELINGS FOR THAT UNCUTE TOMBOY. I DON'T…I."
"YOU EGOTISCIAL JERK! DON'T YOU THINK YOU CAN TRICK ME! I'M ONLY SEEABLE CUZ YOU GOT FEELING BUBBA!"
The other hooded person was standing there with popcorn. Watching… and eating. Ranma quickly saw this and jumped at him.
"Wrong move, Ranma. Moko Takabisha!"
Damn that energy getting closer, wait how does he know my move. That jerk… I spent soo much time trying figure that more and he just uses it.
"Damn it that was my move! Shishi Hokodan!"
The two energies collided with force. With a snap of the hooded guy's fingers the energy was gone. He took off his hood.
"Wow, Ranma that was good. I didn't think you'd counter sometimes you even surprise me. Never thought you take this poor blokes move though."
In front of Ranma was Ryouga, standing and laughing.
"You're probably confused. I'm normally you in this world but to avoid confusion I'll take Ryouga. I'm your honor, which is kinda funny since I'm Ryouga. But listen Ranma, there are like more you're gonna deal with here."
Ranko walked toward them and added her two cents in as well.
"You will face us all, Ranma you're here because we're worried. We don't know how you will turn out. You act all tough and don't let nobody know you. We don't want you to be alone and by yourself no more. Here in the world, you finally have family and friends but you still don't show yourself. Ranma, you're here to face it all. The cat-fist training, Ryouga, your problems and all that."
Ranma flinched at the words cat-fist training. Luckily he had to deal with these people first.
Ryouga started to speak up.
"Ranma you passed part of first test already."
"Huh, I did didn't I."
Ranko elbowed him the stomach.
"Don't get soo full of it. You only got me by a fluke. That or you was thinking about Akane…Ranma is there something we have to know. Hmmmmm? Anything? Ranma?"
Ranma's face was replaced by a red balloon or at least that's what Ryouga thought. Ranko was laughing her off, while Ranma was too, too red. Maybe if Ryouga threw an egg at Ranma it would fry, thought Ranko.
"Ranma, you'll deal with me first." Said Ranko, holding her laughter' "You got to start admitting your feelings for Akane, because this well get rid of me and some thing else in the future."
Ranma for once answered what was on his mind.
Akane was crying. And it was almost more than what Soun could ever do. She was sitting next to Ranma crying and she couldn't stop. Doctor Tofu was watching Ranma and trying to figure out his ki, it was very odd, decided the young doctor.
Elder Cologne arrived moments later only to shake her head.
"Son-in-law, what wrong with you. Can nothing ever go right with you?"
Tofu noticed Cologne, examining Ranma.
"Elder, his ki seems to be very odd, like he's hiding somewhere in his mind."
"Yes, sonny boy her, has retracted to a plane in his mind. His subconscious must have been worried about son-in-law. Only other time he goes into hiding is when he goes neko."
"Hmmmm, I've heard about this. This is like a test for Ranma isn't it?"
"Yes and it will decide whether he lives or not. But with sonny boy he'll come too. I suggest when he awakens everybody should be here. He will have important things to say."
Akane overheard this but like she does all the time, she only heard the worst. Her sobbing got loader.
Ooooh gods Ranma, I'm sorry. Please don't die; I'll never forgive you, if you did. I'll mallet you till you get up if you do. Please Ranma.. I..I..lo…
Cologne lifted Akane's face up. Akane's eyes were all puffed up and swollen from crying.
She must really love Ranma. From what I felt from the restaurant and see she must of been the one to unleash that energy.
"Come now child. Do you think Ranma would want you crying over him? I'd bet he'd yell at you for awhile and from what Shampoo says call you 'A dumb tomboy.'"
"Tofu how is Shampoo and the other? I assume they are fine."
"Almost Shampoo is resting, she's somewhat in shock that Ryouga jumped in front of the ki tornado. Ukyo is the same as well…"
The doctor's face fell and continued talking.
"Ryouga, on the other hand, is really in a critical position. He is not doing so well."
From then the conversed about what happened. Cologne gasped after hearing what Akane did.
That child is remarkable. To be able to do such a move. It's never been heard of nor attempted. All for that boy. Yes the truly need each other. You can see it in their eyes and how they risk themselves for one another.
Akane didn't hear anything. She was watching Ranma. She stopped crying for now and looked at Ranma. Ranma started pulsing white. Akane eyes went wide.
"Akane…." Was all the pigtailed martial artist said. Cologne felt the ki and quickly hopped to Ranma.
"Child, Ranma seems to be taking the first of his test… this white means its about you. Why? Because he just said your name. Now listen closely you can go and talk to him for as long as aura lasts."
Cologne handed Akane a silver bracelet. Akane nodded.
"Now, Akane you must wait for a bit. When the aura is completely white and your bracelet pulls you, you can go in and talk to Ranma."
Ryouga was gone. Ranma was about to speak his mind.
"What if Akane, doesn't feel the same Ranko. I don't want to lose her and I don't wanna be left alone. I mean I don't think see even likes me."
Ranko smiled. How dense can this boy get? It so obvious that she gots the hots for and he does too. They're both too damn stubborn.
"Ranma, I don't think that true. Akane not like too, I think that if you talk it out you'd be surprised."
Ranma looked up her. His eyes were watering but only stayed at the water level. Ranko knew he wouldn't cry. He was too full of himself for that.
Could she be telling the truth? I mean I guess I kinda like the tomboy.. specially when she smiles. Gods how I like those smiles. Too bad she doesn't smile a lot. I'd probably become all speechless. Akane.. I guess she can be kinda cute.
Ranma clear blue eyes shone brightly and Ranko knew her work was half done all she had to do was get him to talk and make him say on his duty that he will tell Akane everything.
"Okay, step one to getting out of here. Admitting the truth do you love Akane?"
Ranma face turned red.
I have to tell her the truth, I mean I wanna leave, and what the heck I'll probably never she her again.
"Uh……yes. I looo….I lo-v….Damn it Loudly I LOVE AKANE!"
Ranma's body turned very white and his aura was flowing out of the room. Akane's hand was slowing moving toward him, or at least the bracelet was.
Cologne decided to give last piece of advice before Akane went into Ranma's subconscious.
"Miss Tendo, remember you cannot get angry there or lie. If you do the bonds will be broken and you won't be able to get go back ever."
Akane nodded slightly.
Ranma here I come. I'm gonna tell you everything. And I'm not gonna hold back.
The light was engulfing Akane, and she herself was turning white. Ranma's body was glowing and Akane was almost the same color.
Ranko could feel Akane coming. It's now or never, I have to get Ranma to say it on his duty as a martial artist. Or else he'll have to deal with something worse than the cat-fist.
"Ranma do you ,on your honor love Akane Tendo?"
Ranma grew serious his honor was a serious thing. He nodded his and replied.
"Of course I do. I beat Saffron for her, I gave up my cure for Akane. I'd never would of done that for someone else. I love her. Not Ukyo or Shampoo. And the third one doesn't count, cuz she's crazy and I don't like her."
"Then Ranma will you tell her the next time you see her? Swear on your honor you will. Because if you don't you'll never do it. And that can give Ryouga his chance at her."
Ranma looked at her a shock.
No way… but I don't want Ryouga to get my FIANCCE! I guess I'll agree. The next time I see Akane, I'll tell her everything.
"I agree, Ranko. I'll tell Akane the truth. Next time I see her."
"Just what I've been waiting to hear, Ranma Saotome."
Ranko clapped her and a white light appeared.
Akane was standing there looking at Ranma.
Heh sorry I couldn't post till late tonight. I had to take the S.A.T today and it was really hard. Anyways next chapter will be a bit waffish. I like Akane and want to give her a chance with Ranma. I like Shampoo too, but that's for another story.
