Ranma; Just Plain Hard
Chapter 2
The three Tendou girls sat staring at the redhead that now sat in Ranma's place. Nabiki quickly pulled herself off the girl's lap, but still too shocked to be embarrased at thought of being that close to another girl in such an intimate manner.
"Who..." Kasumi ventured, the first one of the three to find her voice.
The girl looked up at Akane; her eyes were hidden behind the shades, but her mouth was in a straight line of irritation before she spoke, "What the FUCK did you do that for?"
Akane jumped back from the shout, still shaken by the sudden change, and not able to get her mind together, "Uhhhhh...."
"Ranma?" Nabiki ventured hesitantly.
The girl tossed her hands in the air, "Well shit, I guess you gon' find out 'bout it anyhow. Lemme go get the old man and we can deal you what's up, cool?"
______________________________
Genma and Ranma sat in seiza across from the Tendous, Soun didn't know where the young girl came from, and wondered where Ranma had gone.
The elder Saotome pushed his glasses onto his nose further, before starting, "This is my son, Ranma."
"You're... really Ranma?" Kasumi asked incredulously.
"Hmm," Genma mused, "Where to start...." The bald man turned to his son, and dumped some hot tea onto her. Then after the change that shocked the Tendous for a second time, and then reached to grab Ranma by the jacket. He stopped, when he caught the straight mouthed expression on his son's face.
"Uh," Genma stated, breaking out into a mild cold sweat, it all started about a month ago...
______________________________
"And this, sirs, is the Legendary Training ground of the Cursed Springs."
Genma nodded to the guide, and turned to his son, "You prepared, Ranma?"
"You know dis!" The young man wearing a gi with the top open and dark glasses over his eyes replied, "Cause I'm a soulja! This don't look like its shit, 'do."
"You strange one, sir!" The guide replied. Not so much because their suggestion of training, despite the dangers, but because of the peculiar way the younger one spoke.
"FOLLOW ME RANMA!" Genma shouted, leaping onto one of the poles.
"Nigga, please, you act like you got somethin' to show me," Ranma replied and followed suit.
"Ah, sirs? What you doing?"
"I'm not going to go easy on you!" Genma stated, while holding a crane pose on top of a pole.
"Shit, you betta bring out the skill! Else you're silly ass is gett'n dropped!" Genma leapt to initiate the attack, and Ranma met him in the air.
The guide was impressed by the skill the two were displaying, but had to call out a warning, "Please sirs, very bad if you fall in spring!"
His warning went unheaded, as the two fighters broke off to land on two other poles. After the slight break, they leapt at each other again. Genma committed to a flying kick, which Ranma tucked his legs up and to the side to avoid...
::CRACK!!!!::
The larger man fell to the spring below them, while Ranma landed on another pole, and tossed the broken baseball bat away, "hey, Pops, that was fucking weak, even for you!" Ranma was squatting, while waiting for his father to resurface. The water swirlled, and a large black and white creature leapt from it. It stood poised on the pole it landed on to attack, a large lump on the side of its head was prominant.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!?" Ranma shouted, while pointing to the panda that opposed him.
"That is spring of drowned Panda. Very tragic story of panda that drown there two thousand year ago. Now, whoever fall in spring take body of large panda."
"HOLD UP! HOLD UP!" the ponytailed boy called out, leaping into the air as the panda flew towards him. He was caught off-guard, and knocked back into another spring.
"Oooooh, no spring of drowned girl. Tragic story of young girl that drown in spring fifteen hundred year ago. Now whoever fall in spring take body of young girl."
Ranma came to the surface, and noticed a different type of weight in his, or rather, her front. The redhead opened her gi, and looked down, staring for a good long while. She didn't shout or scream or faint, which the guide had been expecting. Instead, he seemed to smile slightly, and look towards the panda.
"Hey, Pop, come here for a sec..." Ranma beckoned with her index finger while raising her head up for the same implication. The panda started to slowly back away at the slightly jovial and conversational tone, and Ranma noted the wariness, " I just wanna talk to you for a sec, that's all..."
Genma ran, possibly faster than he had ever been before.

"The Legendary ground of the accursed Springs," Soun stated, somberly, Its true horror has always been shrouded in mystery, but now..."
"True horror my left NUT!" Ranma shouted, and then grabbed his father in a swift motion, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?" Genma couldn't turn to the clicking sound, not that he needed to, he already knew what was in his son's right hand.
"Uh... n-now son," Genma studdered, "We-weren't y-you willing t-to sacrifice y-y-your life for the a-art?"
"My life, yes," Ranma growled, and pressed the barrel tighter into Genma's skull, "But I also don't mind being an orphen, either." The smiling mouth nearly caused the older Soatome to faint.
Fortunately, Kasumi came to the rescue, "You just went too far, Mr. Saotome!"
"Yeah, even for martial arts training!" Nabiki added, just as furious, herself.
"What ever made you do something so dangerous?"
"Ah, don't sweat it, yo," Ranma replied with a tired voice, "The damn fool couldn't read Chinese worth shit, so he didn't know."
Cold water landed on Genma, "So, when doused with cold water, you become your cursed form..." Soun turned to dump some on Ranma, but the aim was pushed off by a frantic panda.
"Nice save, Pop," Ranma said with some amusement, while buffing his nails against his windjacket.
"uh, and doused with hot water, you return to your human form!" Soun instead uplifted a kettle of steaming hot water onto his old training partner, "Well now, your situation isn't so bad! My eldest daughter, Kasumi; she's nineteen. My middle daughter Nabiki, she's seventeen. And, lastly, my youngest daughter, Akane; she's sixteen. Pick one, and she will be your fiancee."
Ranma quickly turned a straight mouthed look towards his father. Genma whimpered. "Fiancee?" Ranma asked, somewhat pleasantly. Genma whimpered again, this time at the tone of the voice.
The three girls looked at each other timidly, "Oh, he wants Akane," Kasumi stated, grabbing her youngest sister by a shoulder.
"Hey! Nabiki seems to like him most!" Akane proclaimed, pointing to the middle daughter
"Aaaaahhhh, Kasumi is the best cook!" Nabiki stated, pointing to her older sister.
"Now, now, don't be basheful, girls!" Soun said cheerfully. He was proud at how modest his daughters are.
Ranma came to the save, "Look, tell ya what, dawg..." Ranma put his arm around Soun like he was his best friend, "I ain't in with this fiancee thing right now. Don't get me wrong, they're fine as fuck and all, but I ain't look'n for no commitments yet. Why don't you, say, lemme talk with them. I'm pretty sho' we can come up with somethin'." Ranma turned his glance towards the three girls who were arguing over who had the best' right' to become the ponytailed boy's fiancee. When they noticed the attention, they ceased immidiately.
"Now, I say, I have to object..."
"SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA, DOESN'T IT, SOUN?" Genma made Soun's head nod in affirmative, with his hand over his host's mouth. His son's mouth never changed from a straight line, which meant that he wasn't in the mood to... argue... in the traditional fashion.
"A'aight, you cool then, you cool," Ranma patted Mr. Tendou on the back, and walked away, "So, were can I fall, yo? Nigga be feel'n lazy."
"Hmph, like I would want anything to do with a pervert like you!" Akane voiced adimantly. Even if the plan was somewhat thesable, it still meant most likely one of her sisters (since it sure as Hell wouldn't be her) were going to end up with the delinquent.
"Pervert?" Ranma repeated in an amused tone. Behind him, Genma was frantically shaking his head no towards Akane, but she ignored him, and continued to stare defiantly at the young man, "Listen woman, you ain't even seen what I do perverted." Ranma came in close enough to whisper in Akane's ear, "But it ain't gonna take long, how 'bout we head up stairs and you show me how soft your bed is?"
Akane's eyes went wide, and her face flushed with fury and something else. Kasumi and Nabiki knew what was coming up, and wondered exactly what Ranma said to her. With adrenaline enhanced rage, the youngest Tendou quickly picked up the table, and brought it towards Ranma's back as he was turned around.
The unfortunate table didn't find it's intended target, instead meeting with some admirable resistance.
"Oh, you WERE NOT about to hit me with a damn TABLE, BIATCH!!!!" Ranma growled, trying to go at Akane with the wooden baseball bat that did the table in. Fortunately for her, Ranma's father was making his best efforts to restrain his son.
"THE TABLE IS THE LEAST OF YOUR PROBLEMS, YOU PERVERTED DELINQUENT!!!!" Akane shouted back, restrained by her own father and sisters.
"AKANE! That is NOT the way to treat a guest!" Soun shouted, having to put his all to hold his daughter back.
"Well, at least one of them has spunk," Genma stated, resignedly, "Spunk makes her cuter." Genma didn't even attempt to hold notions that his son even payed attention.
