Chapter 3
How do you like your baby blue eyes now Mr. dead man?
This chapter is dedicated to your mom, who I totally had last night.

"Akane! Akane!" Nabiki yelled, out of breath.
"What is it?" Akane asked, from her position outside of the class, previously generated upon receipt of far too many notes concerning the new girl who shyly sat next to her that day.
"It's... it's Kuno..." Nabiki said, with far too evil a gleam in her eyes, "He's gone crazy! Crazier! He tried to kill and now he's threatened to kill me if I don't give him a huge amount of money!"
Akane narrowed her eyes. "Is it an amount you could afford to pay?"
Nabiki laughed nervously. "That's not the point! You have to save me!"
Akane sighed. "Come on, Ranma. Let's go see what we can do about Kuno."
Ranma looked uneasy. ""I thought you never wanted to fight again until you had better control?"
"I don't know what I want to do... I have to do something." Akane grimaced. "If... if he attacks me... I want you to be there."
"Huh?" Ranma said, perplexed.
"You'll... protect me, right?" Akane said, nervous again.
"Yeah... Yes. I will protect you, like you protected me." Ranma said, seriously.
"Ooh, drama." Nabiki said, annoyed that they had forgotten she was even there.

"Kuno!" Akane said, angrily.
"Yes?" Kuno said, simply.
"Huh?" Ranma said, perplexed.
"Well, what is it?" Kuno said, conveying a slight tone of annoyance.
"It's just that you usually respond with something poetic and terrible that makes my ears bleed, and that also manages to capture your eternal idiocy and love." Akane said, sagely.
"I'm over that. By the way, did Nabiki thank you for me?" Kuno said, questioningly.
"Huh?" Akane said, perplexed.
"I see she did not. Ah, well. I'll return that 1000 yen to her debt." Kuno said, shaking his head and making a chickenly clucking noice.
"That's what we're here to put a stop to!" Akane said, remembering.
"Put a stop to? Oh. Nabiki is treacherous as ever. I fear she is trying to welsh on our bet." Kuno said, this time shaking his head with a normal clucking noise.
"A bet?" Ranma asked, timidly in an attempt to act like a girl and not a maniac martial artist.
"Didn't you ever wonder why I acted the way I did?" Kuno asked, wonderingly.
"Well, I'd always assumed it was extreme mental damage." Akane answered after thinking.
"Actually, it was extreme psychedelic drugs. You see, your sister made a bet that she could make me forget a certain correspondence we had shared, almost one year ago. After one year, she would reveal the contract and I would see my signature telling me to pay up. However, thanks to my near-death experience at your hands, the drug wore off early, and I won our little bet."
"What?" Akane asked, getting a little angry.
Kuno shrugged. "I heard I'd done some things to you during this time. Whatever they were, I apologize. It is really Nabiki's fault, though."
Akane's eyes turned red and she turned around, to stalk back to the place she had left Nabiki.
