Kamy: Hello. I'm Kamy, the author of this little tale. Amazing enough, I, the noob, got four reviews! So here are my responses to said reviews!
NIsaasd : Here's your update! Feel free to talk to me whenever! -
teenjag: Ranma is sort of abused, but not nearly as bad as Akane. You'll have to keep reading if you want to find out what the SISTERS do. And no, this has NEVER happened to me or anyone I know. I just read so many about InuYasha or Kagome that I thought 'somoeone should do one on Akane or Ranma. I think I will!'
kyle: A reviewer of few words. Alright, I'll keep writin' so you keep readin'. -
James Axelrad: Akane's basically going to put up a front while in the presence of other people. After all, he may be beating her, but he's still her dad. She doesn't want to end up COMPLETLY alone. Genma is still going to be a colosal idiot. But you'll have to keep reading to see HIM in action. Akane is only submissive to her father, as you will see in this chapter. Enjoy! -
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters from Ranma 1/2, but I do own Tama.
She could see the school coming into view. It was 2 stories with a separate auditorium/cafeteria where a few classes were held. The 1st building was bigger than the other and looked rather new. The students were piled outside, each in their own cliques, waiting and talking 'till the bell rang.
Akane trudged over to a clump of boulders next to the sidewalk, resting her ankle while awaiting her friends.
"Akane-chan!"
Before she could react, she was tackled by a smaller girl with orange-brown hair pulled into a tight bow with 2 tuffs of hair in front of her ears. Her blue eyes shined with worry.
"Akane-chan, you're bleeding. Don't deny it, its obvious. Its coming from under your sock."
"Tama-chan speak truth, Akane. You socks stain red."
An older looking girl walked up behind them. She was wearing a white blouse with the vest over it and a pleated mini skirt stopping mid thigh. She had flowing lavender hair stopping below the butt, some of which was pulled into 2 buns on each side of her head and tuffs similar to Tama's though tied at the ends with bells. Her dark brown eyes showed clear annoyance and her features held a scowl.
"Its nothing, guys! Just got in another fight is all."
The scowl changed into a full-out smirk. "You get back at, yes? No one cut Akane and live to say."
Tama's face instantly brightened. "Of course, Shampoo! Akane wouldn't allow some guy to cut her without gettin' back at 'em! Hey, here comes Ucchan!"
They looked in the direction she indicated and saw a feminine figure clad in boys uniform running towards them. She had long brown hair to mid back cut straight at the ends and out of its usual pony-tail. The boys uniform was a white dress shirt with sleeves to the elbows and a red tie (hers was undone, of course) and red pants. Her clothes were formfitting, proving she most certainly wasn't a boy.
She came to a halt and bent over slightly to catch her breath before looking at Tama with wide deep brown eyes.
"I see Tama messed around with the uniform AGIAN this year." she stated huffing slightly.
They all looked at the small girl to see Ukyo was right. Tama had cut the sleeves off so it was sleeveless with frays. She had baggy red pants (Ranma's usual pants) that tied with a bow hanging on her waist and her red bow tie was tied around her arm.
"What? There's no way in hell I'm wearin' a skirt."
"Whatever." Ukyo said, having caught her breath. "I just saw 2 new kids talking to the crazy principle. They're brother and sister, twins! And they're both martial artists!"
"Just what need. More boy we get fight."
"If we're lucky, he'll be different, and we can always talk to his sis if he pisses us off."
Tama jumped on Ukyo's back. "What if they're like the Kuno twins?"
Everybody's stomachs lurched at the thought. Tatewaki and Kodachi Kuno were the creepiest group in school. Kodachi was the school slut She wouldn't wear the blouse, just the vest and tie, and she'd have skirts that made Shampoo shudder (sry Shampoo, your dresses are short, but still cute!) Her brother, who everyone just called Kuno, was a sex-crazy neurotic. No matter how many times you tell him no, he bounces right back. He has his eyes set on Akane, though he 'flirts' with other girls, causing him major bruising.
Akane held a look of disgust. "I pray to the Lord he isn't/ We don't need another pervert. And we DEFINATLY don't need another Kodachi!"
BRINGGGGGGG!
"Awwwww. That's the bellllllll! Don't wanna goooo!"
"Tama, hon, get used to it. We're doing this the rest of the year."
"Daaaaang!"
With that they slowly trudged up the stairs to their lockers. Their highschool was different. Instead of going 9th-11th grade, they only had 10th and 11th grade. 10th graders were upstairs. The group had lockers near the stairs. There were lockers on both sides of the halls (Which sucks when you're in the middle, cause there's always a traffic jam! sry...) Shampoo and Tama had lockers next to each other on the right side while Ukyo and Akane had lockers on the left side. Girls and boys had separate halls (much to Akane's relief). She looked next to her to find an empty locker.
'Wonder if anyone's got it.' she thought as looked over her schedule. She had Reading, Choir, Computer Tech, and Math today. Tomorrow she'd have Art, Athletics, History, and Science.
She looked at the others schedules to find she had Choir, Math and History with Ukyo, Athletics, Art, and Computer Tech with Tama, and Computer Tech, History, and Reading with Shampoo. She was only alone in Science.
Akane and Shampoo waved goodbye to Ukyo and Tama who had History together. When they finally rounded the found their classroom, (you can get lost at my school.) Akane sat in the second from front seat with Shampoo next to her. Students slunk in and while she chatted with Shampoo about their latest fights, a girl with flaming red hair held back in a braid slipped in front of Akane, though the girl looked extremely bored.
Most of the students were 10th graders as this was an advanced class. Some of the 9th graders, including Akane and Shampoo, got exempt into a higher class. Unfortunately, 1 of these 10th graders happened to be Tatewaki Kuno, who instantly noticed Akane and sparred no time rushing over.
"Oh, Akane Tendo, you have advanced into my class just to be with me! My heart is moved by your love!"
After recovering from the shock of having said lunatic rap his arms around her shoulders and make this proclamation, in a low voice Akane stated, "Take it off, or I break it off."
Oblivious to her anger, he continued, "You will never have to be separated from me again, my love..."-Akane's face turned red with anger and Shampoo was coaxing the red-head to the seat in front of her instead, knowing what was to come-"...I'll follow you 'till the ends of the earth and protect you from-"
He couldn't say much else as Akane had grabbed is wrist and used her strength to launch him over the desk the red-head once occupied and directly into the blackboard.
"Oh..." Shampoo let out a sigh. "Bell no ring yet, Akane already get to trouble." She turned to the wide eyed red-head and gestured to the seat in front of Akane. "You go back to seat now, yes?"
Said girl looked at Akane before deciding she had calmed down and the perv deserved it anyway, and returned to her former seat.
No sooner had she sat down, Kuno had jumped up and grabbed both her and Akane's hands.
"Oh, my fair goddesses! You have graced me with your beauty on this fine day! As thanks, I shall allow you to date me.
Almost like magic, a fist and foot connected with his face at he same time and both girls shouted in unison, "WHOSE ASKIN' TO GO ON A DATE WITH YOU!"
After a pause, they faced each other with wide eyes, fist and foot still raised, and their mouths in tiny "o's". A slow smile crept to Akane's face as she lowered her fist and presented her hand to the Pig-tailed girl.
"Hi."
The other girl looked back and forth between her hand and her face before gently gabbing the hand with a smile of her own.
"Yo."
"I'm Akane. Are you new?"
"Yep, my name's-"
"Miss Tendo, kindly sit in your seat while I introduce he new student."
Akane sat down, sending an evil glare at the teachers back for stopping her from making a new friend. The other girl's face went back to the bored expression she had entered with.
"Class...class...Hello, class! For starters, my name is Mrs. Cason. Do try and remember it. And I'd like to introduce this young lady right here."
No one but Akane seemed to notice the girls smirk at being called that, for it was gone as soon as it came. Everyone else was looking at the girl attire. She had a Chinese style shirt (duh) that was white with red flower designs running up the left side and right sleeve. She had black pants that made Akane think she and Tama bought them in the same place. To complete it, she had black Chinese shoes and used the red school bow tie to hold her braid together.
"Now miss, it says here you came all the way from China, like Miss Shampoo here, but on a trip. Why don't you introduce yourself to the class."
With an over exaggerated smile, the girl bowed and stood up straight before saying,
"I'm a martial artist, Ranko Saotome, and don't you forget it."
