Ranma; Just Plain Hard
Everyone who was still in the schoolyard watched the scene from behind safety. Only Kuno and Ranma stood out in the open, mad dogging each other.
"So, you deem yourself worthy of challenging the great Blue Thunder of Furinkan High?" Kuno questioned hautily.
Ranma put up his mock gun, and threw his hands out to the side to show he was open, "So where you at, puta? Where you at?"
"No doubt you reference me by a term clearly meant to address your superior, but I shall not show you any mercy for your irritance of the dear Akane Tendou."
Ranma cocked his head to the side in amusement, "Well, snap, if you want the thug that bad, you need to work on your game, playa!"
"THUG?!?" Akane cried out in clear from behind the tree Kuno had come from.
"YOU DARE? I WILL NOT HAVE IT!" Kuno raged, and lunged after Ranma with a high vertical swipe. Ranma waited until the last second, and then dashed forward to meet his opponent head on. The pigtailed young man brought his right fist back, waaaayyyyyy back.....
::WHAMP!!!!!::
Kuno stood there, his head turned to the right with both his hands on his bokken held down towards the ground from his swing, "Nat in'nt nert," He said casually, before dropping like a sack of bricks. Ranma was hopping on his right foot, trying to regain his balance from the haymaker he delivered.
All the students looked on with wide eyed surprise; only one word going through their unified minds...
"DAAAAAAAAYYYYYMMMMMNNNNNNN!!!!!!!" Even Akane was thoroughly shocked out of her previous anger from the 'thug' comment.
After he finally recovered, he turned to Kuno and shook his hand out once, as if shaking off some water, "And if you do get with the ho', remember everytime you kiss'n her you be tast'n my jock!"
Akane stormed out from her hiding place, and threw Ranma's bag at him as hard as she could. Ranma caught the bag in the back of his head, and turned to glare at the girl, "What the FUCK is yo' problem?"
"Get this straight, Kuno is NEVER going to kiss me, EVER!" Akane declared, and stormed off in a huff.
"Damn, she an evil thug," Ranma rubbed the back of his head in irritation, while Nabiki tentatively approached her potential Fiancee.
"Wow," was all she could say, as she looked down at the comatose Kendoist. All she had seen, along with the majority of audience, was Ranma blur right before Kuno struck him. And from the look of the junior classman, it was only with one blow too.
A few of the male students became brave enough to come out into the open and check to see if Kuno was alright. Once they looked him over concernadly, they pointed their fingers and started snickering.
"Is all butta," Ranma said casually, and put his arms around Nabiki. She jolted with slight surprise, but allowed herself to be lead into the school.

"Class, I would like you to give a warm welcome to our new student, Ranma Saotome,"
"Yo," Ranma stated to his audience. Each one of them but Akane looked upon him in awe.
"He recently returned from China, but that doesn't give him the permission to carry deadly and illegal weapons to school. Please go stand out in the hall until I give notice," the Teacher continued casually, as if not realizing just how much he had limited his life.
"Say what?" Ranma turned to the teacher with a tight lipped and slight frown.
"And remove your glasses, Mr. Saotome. They are not nessesary indoors."
"You wanna see how nessisary they are?" Ranma turned fully towards the man, right before Akane rushed to the front and started to push Ranma away before he did anything rash... or convictable.
"Um, teacher, it's not a real gun, and I'll be happy to explain class rules to Ranma... if you'd like," the raven-haired girl said nervously.
"Very well," the teacher replied with a disapproving frown, and then dismissed both of them into the hall.
Akane managed to drag Ranma out into the hall way, and then turned a baleful look towards her houseguest, "What do you think you're doing?"
"I ain't doin' nutt'n, why you gotta be all up in my bidness?" Ranma snapped back, irritated with the girls interferance.
"And I thought you were a martial artist? I mean the way you hit Kuno, there wasn't any technique at all!"
Ranma's anger was traded for confusion, "Technique? Yo, I was just wanting to hit is ass, 's all."
Akane groaned and rolled her eyes, "Look, I don't know where you came from, but around here we just can't act the way you do."
"Why, someone gonna stop me?" Ranma challenged, folding his arms together.
"I'll do it," Akane replied, her eyes narrowing in defiance.
Ranma peered closer at Akane through his glasses with a scrutinizing expression on his mouth. Akane felt slightly nervous, and took a step back. After a few tense seconds, Ranma smiled, "Heh, you got some hard shit in you, I likes dat!"
"Pardon me?" the girl's mouth grew tight, and her fists balled up.
"Chill, chill, just say'n you're hard, s' all," Ranma said, trying to placate the girl, "No need to be gett'n all hostile."
"Is that supposed to be some sort of compliment?"
"Beli' dat, chica."
"WHY CAN'T YOU SPEAK LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING?" Akane shouted, finally feeling her fustration overflow.
"Ms. Tendou, apparently you would like to stay a while longer in the hall. I just request you do it while holding a couple of buckets of water, please." Akane turned to glare at Ranma, and then hung her head and took a deep breath. Ranma watched her with wry amusement, as she sulked back into the classroom to get the buckets.

"Uh, Ms. Tendou..." the Teacher started tentatively.
"Huh?" Nabiki looked up, shaken out of her daydream.
The instructor ignored the bright flush, the slight glowing smile, and slight heavy breathing that his student was experiencing, "I note that Kuno is still outside unconcious."
Nabiki blinked, got out of her desk, walked to the window, and looked out, "Hmm, so he is..."
"It's highly unusual for you to, um, tend to your classmate... in return for payment for services rendered."
Nabiki stared for a sec, before realizing what he was saying, "Oh, you're wondering why I haven't dragged Kuno to the nurse's office?"
"That would be one inquery of mine, yes. Perhaps you would like to be excused?"
"Ah, I think he looks peaceful out there," Nabiki replied casually. The Teacher only nodded with slight confusion, and then started his lesson.

"This is all your fault, you know?" Akane growled, while shifting her weight to hold her buckets filled with water more comfortably. Ranma sat on the ground, and was bouncing a handball off the wall in front of him.
"Huh? Whadd I do?"
"Oh, don't act all innocent, you perverted delinquent! You got me in trouble on purpose!"
"What you tripp'n on?" Ranma ceased his game of ball, and turned to Akane with a questioning expression.
"Ever since you showed up, my sister's been acting weird, and you're driving me crazy! You're doing this all on purpose, I know it."
"I'm haungrie, when's lunch?" Ranma asked, ignoring Akane's prior rant.
"Huh? That's not for another few hours! And you just ate breakfast not too long ago!"
"Na, your sister's stingy with her cash, didn't get much." Ranma stood up, and dusted off his windsuit, "I'm headn' out, you gonna bounce with me?"
"What? Heading... But we still have the rest of school!" Akane dropped her buckets and briskly walked to catch up with Ranma before he got too far.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Nabiki stated, looking down on Kuno in the infirmary. His head was in a mouth brace to hold his jaw still until he could be taken to a hospital to have it wired shut. The middle Tendou sister had finally been convinced to pick up Kuno, and was glad she didn't decline. Seeing Kuno like this truly brightened her day even further than it had been. That's two good points towards Saotome in her book.
Kuno stared at her irritably, and started writing on the notepad with the marker he was handed. Nabiki picked up the paper, and read it out loud, "'Tell me, what is it that you know of that foul plebean, Ranma Saotome'?" She sat the paper down and answered, "Well, he's staying at our place..."
Kuno's eyes went wide, and he started to scribble on his pad. When he was done, he handed the paper roughly to Nabiki and attempted to sit up. Nabiki held him down firmly with one hand on his chest, and read the new note,"Oh? 'Under the same roof as my dear Akane Tendou? I won't allow it!' Well, Kuno-baby, there isn't much you can do about it, I'm afraid. What with you heading for an extensive hospital stay and all." Nabiki smirked at the blazing glare Kuno gave her, "But don't fret too much, I'm pretty sure the corrective surgery needed to reset your nose and jaw won't take too long. Before you know it, Akane'll be able to see your clueless face again." With that, Nabiki got up and started to walk out the door.
Kuno growled as best he could, and began scribbling again. Once he was finished, he held the paper out for Nabiki to take.
"Hmm, you say something Kuno?" the girl asked, only turning her head slightly towards Kuno. The boy in question growled louder, and thrust the paper out again.
"I'm afraid I can't understand a word you're saying, later Kuno," Nabiki replied, innocently.
Kuno shot to sitting up, "LOOK AT ME, YOU INSOLENT MERCENARY!!!!" Well, that's what he meant to say, instead it came out more like "LLOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Nabiki finally turned around fully, and started to chuckle, as she watched Kuno writhe on the bed in pain. The nurse came out and shook her head.
"Mr. Kuno, I told you that speaking would only worsen your condition! Now hold still while I attempt to realign your jaw."
Nabiki walked from the room, taking immense satisfaction in the closed mouth screams originating from it.
Everyone who was still in the schoolyard watched the scene from behind safety. Only Kuno and Ranma stood out in the open, mad dogging each other.
"So, you deem yourself worthy of challenging the great Blue Thunder of Furinkan High?" Kuno questioned hautily.
