"M! When I find you you're going to wish you never even thought of this story!" shouted Sherry.
As she leaves you see that he was hiding up in the rafters.
"Well now that she's gone…start the fic."

Class was boring after that. Ranma wasn't really sure what he was expecting but he would have expected SOMETHING exciting to happen, anything!
However, Ranma did start to question his sanity when he saw a green gym bag sneak into the room. The gym bag moved across the room and sat next to Kiyo's desk.
Soon a small blonde head popped out of the zipper, it was none other than the little lightning breather himself, Zatch Bell.
When Kiyo saw him his eyes bugged out.
"ZATCH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" shouted Kiyo.
Kiyo really wished that he hadn't shouted when he did because it had caught the attention of the entire class.
"Kiyo…who's the kid?" asked Ranma.
"Hi! My name is Zatch Bell and I'm very pleased to meet you." Said Zatch.
Eventually Zatch was sent to the nurse's office while class continued.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Meanwhile Lupine had actually stopped for directions, from a little horse mamodo. His name was Schneider but seeing as how he could only say 'Meru' nobody really knew that so they came up with a name for him by themselves…Ponygon. However, today Ponygon actually found someone who knows what he's saying.
"Meru meru me. Meru meru meru meru me." Said Ponygon.
"Uh-huh. Yeah that name is rough break. So I just take a left down there?" asked Lupine.
"Meru meru me." Said Ponygon.
"Okay, thanks." Said Lupine.
Without another word Lupine raced off to find Ranma's new school. Lupine made the appropriate turn and soon found himself in front of the school.
Lupine leapt into the tree just outside one of the classroom windows. Fortune must have been on Lupine's side that day because the classroom had none other than his book owner in it.
He noticed that one of the students had a red book and narrowed his eyes.
He saw all the students leave the classroom and Zatch coming in to see Kiyo.
"Guess that's his human partner." Said Lupine.
Kiyo was about to leave when Ranma stopped him.
"Kiyo, could I talk to you for a second? Alone?" asked Ranma.
"Sure thing." Said Kiyo.
Everyone left but Kiyo, Ranma, and Zatch who refused to leave.
"So what do you want to talk about?" asked Kiyo.
"Zatch. He's a mamodo isn't he?" asked Ranma.
Kiyo and Zatch stood aghast, but then Kiyo nodded.
"Yeah, he is." Said Kiyo.
"But how could you have known that?" asked Zatch.
"I know because…" Ranma held up his blue book and Lupine leapt into the room landing in front of him.
"Because I have a mamodo too." Said Ranma.
"How did you know I was in the tree?" asked Lupine.
"Please, I could sense you a mile away." Said Ranma.
"Hey! It's Lupine!" said Zatch.
"Zatch, you know him?" asked Kiyo.
"Yeah, we met in the park! Apparently he knew me from the mamodo world!" said Zatch.
"So what is it the two of you want?" asked Kiyo.
"We just want to ask you guys a few questions. Zatch, exactly what kind of king do you plan on becoming?" asked Ranma.
"I'm going to be a kind king so I can stop the fighting." Said Zatch.
"Ah but the fighting is not as bad as you think it is. While it is true that no mamodo should be forced into this battle, it is true that it can change some bad mamodos for the better." Said Lupine.
"What do you mean?" asked Kiyo.
"Take Brago for example; back in the mamodo world he was mean, cruel, and probably as close to evil as you could get. But now that he's found his human partner she seems to be slowly changing him. If she keeps it up than maybe he could turn out to be a fair king after all. If it wasn't for the battle than they never would have met and a bond never would have been formed. So it's not so much as the fighting needs to be stopped as it needs to be changed." Said Lupine.
"Well…I guess I never thought of it like that." Said Zatch.
"So…have you two come to fight us or what?" asked Kiyo.
"What? Oh heck no! Before today I never even heard of you guys!" said Ranma.
"As long as Zatch is trying to become a kind king I see no reason for us to fight, at least not right now." Said Lupine.
"Lupine's got a point. He's only interested in being king if he has to. I think Zatch would make a pretty good king so why duke it out right here and now. But out of curiosity how many spells do you guys have?" asked Ranma.
"Seven." Said Kiyo.
Ranma's eyes nearly bugged out.
"SEVEN? Damn! I knew we were behind but I didn't think we had THAT much catching up to do!" thought Ranma.
"We will fight one day, but for you can just look at us as allies. Let's go Lupine!" said Ranma.
The blue wolf mamodo nodded and they both leapt out of the window.
As Ranma and Lupine began to run their way home Ranma couldn't help but think that they had a long way to go.
When they finally got home they both decided to stretch because it had been a long day. It looked like as if Nodoka had left for grocery shopping. As Ranma and Lupine started up the stairs heading to Ranma's room they decided to talk about the day's earlier events.
"So Lupine, do you really think Zatch has what it takes to become king?" asked Ranma.
"Well back in the mamodo world he was kind of a weakling but somehow I get the distinct impression that he's changed. Although he does still seem to have a bit of a bullying problem." Said Lupine.
"So in other words…"
"It's anyone's call." Said Lupine.
"Why was he wearing a dress?" asked Ranma as he opened the door.
Ranma and Lupine went inside and Ranma flopped down onto his bed.
"Uh…moving on…this is your room huh?" asked Lupine.
It was decorated in the typical teenaged manner…a mess.
Lupine started to sniff around the room basically getting the scent of everything; but he knew if he were to do something like mark his territory Nodoka and Ranma would kill him.
It was when he started to sniff around the dresser that a CD case fell on his head.
"Ow! You know you really should consider cleaning this place up a bit." Said Lupine.
Ranma merely shrugged.
Lupine looked down at the CD case and was surprised to see a certain pop idol on it.
"I never knew you listened to Megumi." Said Lupine.
"And I never knew a wolf mamodo would know who she is. Back in Nerima I started getting pretty depressed with my life, listening to her music kind of cheered me up. I've been hooked on it ever since, it's a lot better than that Folgore crap Akane used to listen to." Said Ranma.
"THERE YOU ARE!" shouted Sherry.
She begins to charge towards Mdizzle but he just sighs.
"I didn't want to have to do this to you Sherry but you've left me with no choice." Said Mdizzle.
Mdizzle pulled on a lever and Sherry fell through the floor. Ranma took a look down it and whistled in amazement.
"Deep hole. Where's it go to anyways?" asked Ranma.
"You know, now that I think about it I don't really know. Oh well." Said Mdizzle.
