Miss Ranma
!SOUND EFFECTS! "THOUGHTS"
Chapter Nine
"You're such a sweet little girl. Here have another doughnut for free."
"Oooh! Thank you so much!" Ranma said in a cute, sexy voice to the cashier who couldn't take his eyes off of her cut off and mostly unbuttoned shirt that had her belly button exposed, the young girl's burgeoning bosom having threatened to come out of it as she leaned forward in his direction.
"Wow! What a great set of gams on her!" the man behind the counter thought to himself as he watched Ranma leave the store in her tight short shorts as she sashayed her way out into the street.
"It's so wonderful being a girl when men are so willing to give me free food whenever I act cute and sexy for them," Ranma thought as she took hold of the small bag of donuts she had as she flew off for home. !MUNCH! "These cinnamon rolls aren't as good as those Cinnabons I had the other day but they're still good, especially since they're hot and fresh. That's when doughnuts are at they're best!"
As Ranma flew through the town, chomping down on her food, she noticed an unusual event. In an out of the way clearing in a back alley, there were three girls wearing P.E. shirts and shorts who surrounded a beautiful young girl smartly dressed in a black private school girl's uniform, her black dress swaying in the wind. "So you girls are the last of the Furinkan High Rhythmic Gymnastic team?"
"Yes, we are! And you won't injure us and take us out of the competition the way you did the others!" one of them threatened.
"I'll do whatever I please. But we do have a match next week, don't we?"
"That's right. But we're going to finish you off here and now!" another commented.
"What's this all about?" Ranma wondered as she stood on a fence, watching the event unfurl before her eyes.
"Oh?"
"Yes!" the girls replied in unison. "Attack! Attack! Attack!" But as the girls moved in on their target, the young lady in the black dress whipped out a long pink ribbon that was well over thirty feet long and struck all of them with it with one swing of it!
"Gasp!" Ranma thought from her perch as she watched the fight. "The rich girl's pretty good!"
!WHAP!WHAP!WHAP! "Aaaagh!" the girls screamed as they hit the ground.
"It seems I haven't conveyed my message. Let me rectify that mistake." !WHAP!WHAP!WHAP!WHAP!WHAP!WHAP!WHAP!
"Aaaaagh!" the girls screamed as their nemesis continued to beat them up with her ribbon as if it was a bullwhip until... !SNAP!
"What the..."
"Don't you think that's enough? You've already won, haven't you?"
"Who dares?!" Then the well-dressed girl turned to see Ranma holding on to her ribbon. "You caught my ribbon as if it were nothing. You're no ordinary girl, are you?"
"You could say that," Ranma answered.
"Good, because I prefer not to treat girls with ordinary courtesy!" the beautiful girl answered, picking up two of the fallen clubs faster than the untrained eye could follow and attacking Ranma with them.
!WIFF!WIFF!WIFF!WIFF!WIFF! After avoiding her opponent's machine gunfire club attacks, Ranma dropped to the ground, striking the girl with a leg sweep that knocked the young lady off her feet and into the air, causing her to do an acrobatic maneuver to stay on her feet when she landed on the ground.
"Hmm. You're good," the richly adorned young lady said, regarding Ranma's defensive stance. "I haven't seen you anywhere around here. Who are you?"
"I'm Ranma Saotome, heir of Anything Goes and I don't lose," the pigtailed girl announced, pointing her thumb towards herself.
"Is that so?"
"That's right. I'm the best."
"Oh? I'm Kodachi Kuno, the Black Rose of St Bacchus School for Girls, and you've yet to see what my best is!" At that point the girl whipped out another ribbon, swinging it in a spiral and attacking Ranma with it. !WHIF!WHAP!WOOSH!
"She got me once with that ribbon. I wore tight clothes to get free food today so I'll have to be careful. I should end this fight right now." Ranma leaped up into the air. Then flew down on her opponent like a dive bomber, shooting ki blasts which forced the richly adorned girl on the defensive.
"How are you doing all of this?! That's impossible!" Kodachi screamed as she leaped backward, doing acrobatic flips to avoid the energy attacks that kept following her no matter how fast she was. "Time to put this commoner in her place." The beautiful girl stretched her ribbon, making sure it avoided Ranma energy barrage and struck!
!POP!POP! "Great! As if I needed that to happen right now. Well, fortunately not too many people are around to stare and gawk," Ranma contemplated as the wind tugged her open shirt back, further exposing her as the battle waged on.
"This girl's pretty fast, but I'm willing to bet she's not able to take a beating up close. Rich girls like her normally don't. Time to go toe to toe with this girl to show her what a real fight is!"
"What do you think you're doing you half-naked whore?!" the rich girl called out as she saw Ranma making her way towards her at top speed.
"I'm going to give you a beating you won't soon forget!" Ranma screamed, flying towards her opponent, avoiding the deadly ribbon.
"How dare a low bred commoner like yourself approach my person? Why I'll..." !CRUNCH!POW!SMASH! "Ooooh!" the black-dressed girl moaned as she flew into the air upon the end of Ranma's barrage, hitting the ground with a thud.
"That's it. You want some more, rich girl, or have you had enough?" Ranma stated, landing right in front of her opponent, standing over her and posing by making the V sign with her fingers in the beaten girl's direction.
"You have beaten me, Ranma Saotome. But I solemnly swear you will pay for this defeat. I will fight you again. Soon! And I will beat you! Hahaha haha hahaha! Hahaha ha ha ha!" With that Kodachi leaped into the air, countless black rose petals in the air and on the ground in her wake.
"How humiliating!" the three beaten girls sobbed, holding themselves in a huddle.
"Come on, girls. Things can't be all that bad," Ranma said, trying to comfort them.
"That's what you think! We were the last of the Furinkan High Rhythmic Gymnastic Team. And because we're injured we won't be able to participate in the scheduled match next week. Now we'll have to lose by default."
"Well, I go to Furinkan High School. Is it possible for me to take on this Black Rose girl in your place?"
The three girls began to stop their crying until they looked up at Ranma for a moment. "Waaaagh!"
"What's the matter now?" Ranma asked, giving the girls a quizzical look.
"Our pride was devastated by Kodachi and now you've finished the job!"
"Hmmm?"
"It's bad enough Kodachi beat us up so badly, but why do you have to rub it in our faces that you have a so much better-looking body than any of us?!" another girl interjected as she continued to cry.
"Huh? Oh, that. I know I'm wearing tight clothes but that doesn't mean you girls aren't attractive in your own right. Looks aren't everything anyway," Ranma said with a friendly smile with her hands on her hips as she leaned over towards them.
"Your body practically defies gravity!"
"It's martial arts training. That's how I jump so high and stay in the air for so long. If you're interested I can train you."
"It's not that. Your top came open during that fight! Your practically naked!"
"Uh? Oops!" Ranma exclaimed with a little bit of embarrassment, working hard to button up her tight shirt as her large bosom fought against her efforts before she finally got her shirt buttoned. "Sorry about that, girls. But I can still..."
!POP!POP! "Waaaagh!" the girls screamed, running off as if their lives depended on it.
"I have to stop wearing such tight clothes."

The next day, the girls of the Furinkan High Rhythmic Gymnastics team arrived at the Tendo household. "What is it, girls?" Akane asked as Ranma stood a few feet behind her.
"We've been so humiliated!"
"That's right. Our self esteems have been horribly crushed," another of the girls commented.
"Oh. Let's come inside where you can tell me all about it," Akane answered reassuringly.
A few moments later, Akane, the three girls, and Ranma were in the main meeting room. The trio turned their heads from the pigtailed girl, acting as if she didn't exist, talking only to the one they hoped would help them.
"What's the problem with these girls?" Ranma tried to deduce.
"Every member of the team has been injured?" Akane asked after hearing the whole story.
"That's right. Kodachi has ambushed all of our teammates, forcing us all to withdraw from the match. She always does this to ensure that she wins."
"I see. But what does all of that have to do with me?"
"We want you to take our place in the next match."
"Gee, I don't know."
"Please, Akane! There's nothing else we can do! You're our only hope!" the captain of the team pleaded.
"That's right, Akane. You're the greatest martial artist of our high school and the only one who could take on the Black Rose!" another team member interjected.
"Well," Akane said, blushing a little.
"I don't believe this! I'm way better than Akane! Yet these girls are bowing down to Akane when I was willing to do take on Kodachi, especially after I beat her up! But they rejected me, just because these girls have issues with the way their bodies look. Talk about inferiority complexes! So what if I look better than they do? It's not as if these girls aren't hot too. They have better-looking bodies than Akane, come to think of it. With the good looks and gorgeous bodies, they have these girls shouldn't be intimidated by my appearance. But then again, maybe Akane's right when she says I should be a little more modest about what I wear," Ranma thought to herself.
"I'm not sure how well I can do in rhythmic gymnastics but I'll do it. You can count on me."
"Thank you, Akane!"
XXX
"Do you know what you're doing, Akane?" Ranma asked the blue-haired girl who wore her yellow karate gi as she worked hard to practice the rhythmic gymnastics of her upcoming match in the Tendo Training Hall.
"You just watch me. I'll master these techniques in no time flat. How hard could this be?" But as Akane tried to do some maneuvers she let some of the tools for the upcoming match slip out of her hands.
"Was that supposed to happen?"
"Shut up!"
At that moment, a little piglet in, running right into Akane's arms as soon as he saw her. "Hello, P-Chan. Where have you been? I've been so worried about you."
"Gee, Akane. It looks like your boyfriend's back," Ranma said with a snide look. "And he's being affectionate right now."
"What are you talking about, Ranma? My pet's just happy to see me."
"There are so many jokes I could make on that last remark, but I won't."
"Good, then don't. And don't tease him, Ranma. I'm going to practice some more; so shut up and let me concentrate." Akane leaped into the air and threw up the clubs in her hands, hoping to have them come back into her hands again but that didn't happen as each club landed on the floor several feet away from Akane, one from her right and the other from her left, frustrating Akane to no end.
"Looking good, Akane," Ranma said lazily.
"Quiet!"
"Grrrr!"
"Quit your growling, Porky. Nobody's talking to you anyway," Ranma said in response to the piglets growling. !WIFF! "Hey!"
"Quit picking on him!" Akane demanded after taking a swipe at the pigtailed girl.
"There's no way I'm going to tolerate this pig growling at me and not say nothing! I haven't done anything to this piglet anyway. You can go stuff yourself if you expect me to cow-tow to this piglet. Come to think of it, it looks as if you've already stuffed yourself, looking at the size of those huge thunder thighs you have." Ranma snapped back with her arms over her chest, glaring back at Akane.
"Just shut up and leave him alone, Ranma! I still have to practice." Then the girl picked up the ribbon and tried to twirl it into a spiral. But instead of using it skillfully, she ended up getting entangled up in it.
"I've always said you were round up tighter than a Swiss watch, Akane. And now you've proven me correct."
As time went on Akane kept on messing up with all the equipment."I'm a klutz! I'm a klutz! I'm a klutz!" Akane stammered, pounding the ground right in front of Ranma with frustration and tears.
"Whose fault is that? I've been trying to talk you into letting me train you so you won't be so clumsy but whenever I make a suggestion you get mad at me. What do you want from me, Akane?" Ranma responded.
"This is all your fault!"
"My fault?!"
"Yes. You're constantly criticizing me and shattering my self-esteem by going around half-naked all the time! Why'd you have to come to live here with us in the first place?" Akane yelled, regarding Ranma harshly.
"Why is all this my fault? I've tried to help you, Akane but you've refused my help time and time again."
"I don't need your help! I just want..."
"I don't know what. You don't want to show me. So what do you want me to do?"
"Why you two-faced bitch!" Akane screamed.
"Bitch?! What is your problem, Akane?!"
"You're the problem! My life was wonderful before you got here."
"You were living in a dreamland, Akane. Some evil guy would have punked your uptight ass sooner or later at the rate you were going. Be grateful I showed you what was wrong with you before it was too late. But despite your lousy attitude, I'm still willing to help you now. I don't want to be your enemy, Akane. I'd much rather the two of us be friends like we were when we first met."
While this was going on, P-Chan crept away. A few minutes later, Ryoga appeared in the training hall.
"What do you want?" Ranma threatened, turning around violently, readying herself for a fight.
"Take it easy, Ranma. I'm not here to beat your girly-man ass today. I'm here to help Akane."
"Why would you want to help me, Ryoga?" Akane asked, blinking her eyes curiously.
"Well, I remember you saying how I wasn't such a bad guy when I was fighting Ranma. I appreciate that, and I know for a fact that you're a good person too. I'd like to help you out if I may. I know all about rhythmic gymnastics; so I can teach you what you need to know."
"That's sweet of you, Ryoga. I knew you were a good person deep down," Akane said with a sweet smile in the lost boy's direction which made the boy blush.
Ranma looked back towards Akane then Ryoga. "Well. I guess you've finally found a boy you like, Akane. Since you two are so lovey-dovey, I'll leave you two alone." With that Ranma began to walk out of the hall.
"Hold it, Ranma. Since you wanted to help so badly, you can be Akane's sparring partner," Ryoga explained, picking up the ribbon and attacking Ranma with it. !WHAP!
"Hey!" Ranma complained, rubbing her back.
"Did you see that, Akane? I want you to take this ribbon and do the same thing."
"OK." !WIFF! "I missed!"
"That's all right, Akane. You used the ribbon correctly. That's what I wanted you to do." The lost boy then picked up one of the clubs and handed the other to Akane. "Now, copy my wrist actions."
"You guys don't need me hanging around here," Ranma said, turning around to leave.
"Here's another thing you can do with clubs," Ryoga explained, throwing the club in his hand against the wall which ricocheted of the wall and right into Ranma.
"Ow! Was it an accident that this thing struck me in the chest or was that a Freudian slip on your part?"
"Get your mind out of the gutter, Ranma! If you're so worried about your precious fake chest, you shouldn't have gotten yourself cursed to turn into a girl and made it permanently in the first place. And anyway, I thought you wanted to help Akane."
"I do want to help. But if you're going to make me a punching bag, forget it!"
"Quit being such a baby, Ranma!" Akane interjected. "I'm beginning to think everything that happened with you and Ryoga was your fault as well. Ryoga may have a temper, but you've increased his temper by making his life miserable."
"What's going on here?!" Kenji announced walking into the hall. "Ryoga?! I hope you're not here to make trouble. I won't tolerate that in my house."
"Spare me your macho posturing, Kenji. I'm here to help Akane, the most wonderful person in this house. I wouldn't mind kicking your ass as well, but since you're Akane's brother, I'll let things slide."
"Oh, Ryoga," Akane said, blushing a little bit.
"I see. You're all right being alone with Ryoga, Akane?" Kenji asked.
"I'm fine, Kenji. Feel free to take Ranma out of here." With that Akane turned happily to her new teacher.
"Yeah. You can leave now, Ranma. But if you want to help, be here later to be a sparring partner for Akane. I want to see how well she does against a live opponent later on, but you two guys can go off and do whatever guys like you do together for now."
"Two guys? What's that all about?"
"Never mind him, Kenji. Ryoga still thinks I'm a guy despite all that's happened."
"The guy needs his eyes checked." With that, the two left the training hall.
"The nerve of that guy! Must he kiss up to Akane, increasing the size of her ego like that?" Ranma said as she and her fiance walked outside in the backyard where the koi pond was located and the flowers and vegetation bloomed, giving off nice aromas.
"Now, Ranma. Akane was wrecked emotionally after our mother's death," Kenji explained.
"I haven't seen my mother in over a decade ago. But I'm not as much as a bitch as Akane is! Besides, you, Nabiki and Kasumi got through it OK."
"Well, Kasumi had the house to look after, Nabiki had the finances to do, while Akane and I had martial arts. Problem was, my father was also devastated by my mother's death, so devastated to the point that he stopped training my sister right. He knew about how Genma was taking you on a training trip so he decided to have me go on training trips while he stayed here. During those training trips that were within the country, for the most part, I not only got very good martial arts training, but I also got a little bit of love and nurturing, especially from some of the families of the American martial artists I trained under."
"Sounds like you're the sanest member of this family," Ranma said with a smile.
"I don't know about that. But it's obvious to me I've recovered the most from our mother's death. You saw how she did against Hako and his bunch. That's why I want you to try to be friends with Akane."
"I'll try, Kenji, but you know how Akane is. I hate how she takes every opportunity to put me down," Ranma answered.
"That's because Akane feels inferior to you."
"You think so?"
"Yes. You pretty much have her beat at everything. The only thing I think she can do better than you is cook, but even Kasumi is better at that than she is. That's why I'd like you to try to be nicer to Akane," Kenji said gently.
"You're asking an awful lot, muscles. I'd much rather make out with you."
"Really?" Kenji said with a huge smile on his face before getting back his composure. "As much as I would like that, it's very important you get along with Akane."
"Well."
"Come on, Ranma. Do it for me," Kenji said, using his charisma on the beautiful young girl.
Ranma looked at her fiance for a moment. "Gee, you're good. All right, you win, you charmer. But I have a question."
"What's that?" Kenji asked, giving Ranma a quizzical look.
"Why haven't you used your charm and charisma to try to get me in the sack? You're capable. I'm not saying I would automatically go along with it, but except for a few times, you've been a perfect gentleman."
"Well, I like you a lot, Ranma. And if I just used you for sex, you wouldn't respect me," Kenji said with a pause. "I'm beginning to find myself falling in love with you, liking the kind of person you are deep down more and more as time goes on."
"Oh, Kenji!" Ranma gushed. "That was so sweet. I could just kiss you!"
"Really?"
"Yes! Come here, big boy!"
"That's so disgusting!" a voice called out, interrupting them.
"Ryoga! What do you care about it?"
"That's a guy you're about to kiss, Kenji."
"When are you going to understand that I'm a girl, you jerk?!"
"Sure you are. Anyway, if you still want to help Akane, she could use you as a sparring partner right now. She's mastered some maneuvers and I want to see how she does against someone attacking her."
"Come on, Ranma. Be a nice girl," Kenji said gently, putting his arms around her and caressing the small of her back, working up her spine ever so slowly.
"Giggle. Haha. That tickles. Oooh." Then Ranma looked up at Kenji who was smiling sweetly at her. "All right. Here I come."
"That's my girl!"
"Saying that makes you happy, doesn't it?" Ranma said, looking over her shoulder at her fiance as she walked inside.
"Sure does."
The lost boy stared at the two lovers incredulously. "Will you two quit grossing me out?! Sheesh!"
Moments later, Akane and Ranma were facing each other in the Tendo Training Hall while Kenji and Ryoga stood to the side, watching them. Both Akane and Ranma had the tools of rhythmic gymnastics like clubs and ribbons on their person. "You both ready!" Ryoga called out. "Attack!"
"Hyaaaah!" Akane screamed, charging Ranma attempting to strike her with the long ribbon in her hand. !WIFF! Ranma avoided the ribbon attack by leaning to her left, letting Akane's stretching ribbon shoot by her.
"I hope you haven't enlarged Akane's ego too much, Ryoga," Kenji said to the lost boy.
"I haven't. I've helped Akane feel better about herself but I've made sure she can do better in her upcoming contest against this Kodachi chick. Akane's chances are good; she's a hard worker and a fast learner.
At that point, Ranma counter attacked with her ribbon, striking Akane's mid-section. "Oww!" "I won't give up!" Akane took the club in her hand and deftly threw it at Ranma, causing the pigtailed girl to go on the defensive to avoid getting hit by the helicopter blade spinning club.
"Now it's time to nail Akane with another ribbon attack." !WUP!WUP!WUP!WUP!WUP! "Hey!" Ranma screamed, diving for cover as the flying club that had missed her came back, almost hitting her in the back.
"Did you see that, Kenji?" Ryoga said with pride. "I taught Akane how to throw a club like that so it would come back to her like a boomerang." To the surprise of Kenji and Ranma, the club came right back into Akane's hand. But the blue-haired girl wasn't done yet. She then used the ribbon to strike at Ranma's feet.
"Yeow!" Ranma leaped up into the air to avoid the ribbon's attack only to be struck by the club in Akane's other hand since she had set her up for that attack.
"I knew Ranma would fall for that!" Ryoga said with a laugh."Ranma is so cocky and sure of himself that it's not too hard for Akane to use the tools right to beat him despite his vaunted speed and agility."
"Him? Ranma's a girl, Ryoga. How many times do I have to tell you that?" Kenji replied.
"He's a guy who fell into a pool at Jusenkyo to turn himself into a girl. I don't know how he managed to make it permanent but even a muscle headed guy like you ought to know that by now."
"I've heard of the place. If what you're saying is true then hot water would have turned Ranma back into a guy by now."
"That's normally how it works but Ranma has figured out how to make his transformation permanent. I've seen him in gym class as a guy in the past so I know what I'm talking about. He was a rather feminine guy, but he was a guy."
"She and her father explained all of that. You got it wrong, dude."
"You're wrong. But if you want to have an alternate lifestyle, that's your business," Ryoga answered, turning back to the fight which was about to come to a close.
"Enough of all this!" Ranma said, running at Akane at superhuman speed, striking her jaw with the club in her hand, causing the blue-haired girl to come crashing to the ground in a world of pain.
"Ooooh!"
"You all right, Akane?" Kenji asked.
"I'm fine!" Akane exclaimed, getting up.
"You ended the fight too soon! The whole point was to have Akane practice against a live foe, not beat her up. What do you have to say for yourself, Ranma?" Ryoga demanded with his arms folded on his chest in judgment of her.
Then Ranma turned towards Ryoga, lazily raising her eyes and shrugging her shoulders as she regarded him sardonically. "I didn't know what you wanted. You didn't want to show me; so what did you want me to do?"
"Why you two-faced, lazy little bitch!"
"Lazy?!" Ranma snapped back.
"Ranma, just shut up. Are you serious? Who do you think you're talking to?" Akane interjected.
"Shut up, Akane!" Ranma snapped.
"You shut up, Ranma! What do you want me to do, wipe your ass for you too?" Ryoga said with a sneer.
"No. But you can't seem to keep your eyes off my ass or my chest despite the fact you think I'm a guy. With all the comments you've made about me having an alternate lifestyle, maybe you're the one with the weird lifestyle."
"Ranma! Don't say things like that!" Akane said in Ryoga's defense.
"Don't talk about my fiancee like that, Ryoga. And more importantly, you can't get mad at her when she used the tools correctly. Besides, Akane's tough with the ability to take a beating if she has to," Kenji commented.
"Fiancee? You have to be kidding me! How many guys have you dated?"
"I don't know what's wrong with you, Ryoga. But you thinking Ranma's a guy is getting old."
As the one-sided fight continued, someone was in the shadows watching.
"This Ranma is the one who's going to take me on in the match. She has to be; she's so much better than the other one! This Akane is probably just a pathetic backup at best. Therefore, I'll need to end both of their chances against me as soon as possible." Slinking back in the shadows with a wicked smile on her face, Kodachi the Black Rose made her plans.

After dinner was over, Ranma and Akane did some more sparring together under the watchful eyes of Kenji and Ryoga. Then everyone went to bed, Ryoga taking his leave(and coming back as P-Chan) while Kenji went outside to do some training of his own. As Ranma lay down on her tatami mat in the attic, preparing to go to sleep she noticed something amiss.
"Hmm?" "Who's there?!"
"Prepare yourself, Ranma Saotome!" the Black Rose screamed, wearing her dark purple gymnastics leotard. She attacked the redheaded girl with a hammer as she came out of the shadows and into the moonlight that shown through the window a few feet from where Ranma normally slept.
"What are you doing here, trying to get even with me for the last defeat I dealt you?!" Ranma replied, avoiding the offending hammer.
"This has nothing to do with that. I see you've decided to be my opponent for the match next week. Therefore, I shall do my best to fight in all fairness!" !SWIPE!
"You call this fighting in all fairness?! You gotta be kidding me!"
"No. You heard me the first time. I have a life long winning streak and I refuse to lose it to the likes of you!" the black-haired intruder answered, attempting to strike Ranma with her huge mallet again.
"So the girls were right. You've been attacking and injuring your opponents before the match so you could always win by default. This is how you've been winning all of your matches," Ranma answered, avoiding the offending mallet.
"I'll do anything I have to do to win."
"Is that so?" Ranma queried. !ZAP!BOOM!
"My mallet! I'll get you for that, you tramp!"
"Let's see how well you fight with your bare hands, miss thing," Ranma said, surprising her opponent by flying right into her. !CRACK!SMASH!POW!
"Owww!" Kodachi moaned, fighting back the tears as she crumpled to the ground. "You vile woman! Only a barbarian uses her bare hands! How dare you strike me like that?! I'll never forget this. Never!"
"Get out of here while you still can, princess. And don't blame me for your pain and suffering. You're the one who came in here and tried to attack me while I was asleep. Now shove off!" Ranma said with an air of annoyance.
"I'll be back. I'm not going to let this go. You remember that. I'm not going to let it go." With that Kodachi left, jumping out the window. But since she was a little hurt from her fight with Ranma she lost her footing and fell from the window sill, rolling down the roof and falling towards the ground.
"I spent so much time watching Ranma and Akane spar I've neglected some of my training for the day. Since Nabiki doesn't have any exotic locals for me to be at tomorrow morning, I can spend the night training even if I end up going to bed in the morning," Kenji thought to himself as he began to swing his ki hammer and take off into the sky.
"Aaaaaah!" Kenji heard.
"What's that?!" Kenji looked up and saw a young girl falling towards him. "Hold on!" Kenji immediately leaped into the air, using his ki hammer to direct himself towards the falling maiden and caught her. "Who is this, and why is she here?"
"Oooh!" "This man is so handsome. And he smells so good too. I feel so safe in his arms. Oh, God!" The beautiful young girl blushed deeply as she regarded her rescuer.
"Are you all right, ma'am?" Kenji asked as he landed and put the girl down. "I must admit she's kind of hot. If I wasn't with Ranma who knows what could happen with this hot babe? I should stop myself from thinking this way before I get in trouble over it."
"I was so frightened!" Kodachi answered, grabbing hold of Kenji and groping him a little.
"This lady's getting the wrong idea about me. I better set her straight." "Um, I'm already engaged..."
"And to think I had given up on finding a man while being cooked up at that all-girls school," Kodachi daydreamed, her thoughts running away with her. "Oh, handsome stranger. Might I ask your name?"
"I'm Kenji Tendo. But I'm..."
"For you, Kenji," the young girl said, shoving a bouquet of black roses in the young man's face.
!SHHHH! "Cough! Cough!" Kenji immediately hit the ground, semiconscious. "What the..."
"Just a little paralysis gas in the bouquet."
"Ungh!" At that point, Kenji was unable to move or even speak much for that matter.
"Now, my love," Kodachi said, tearing off his shirt. "Oh, God! I've never seen such a beautiful, muscular body. Sigh! Now take these lips of mine."
!KAPOW! "I thought you were leaving!" Ranma yelled, knocking the girl into the sky.
"You again. I'll be back for you!" the leotard wearing girl called out as she landed on another roof a few houses away and took off into the night.
Then Ranma looked on the ground and saw her fiance. "Kenji? What happened?"
"Uh. Uh."
"Why can't you talk? What did that bitch do to you?" Ranma said in shock as she regarded her helpless fiance.
"Uh."
"Did she hit you with some kind of nerve attack that paralyzed you? You really should learn not to underestimate women, Kenji. Here, let me help you." Ranma picked up the muscular young man, gently carrying him into the house.
"Ranmaaa!" Akane screamed running towards the redheaded girl. "What are you doing, knocking out my sweet brother so you can have your wicked way with him? What kind of pervert are you?!"
"Listen, Akane. It was Kodachi who did this to him. I'm just helping him back inside." Ranma turned towards the blue-haired girl, noticing she had P-Chan in her arms.
"Then why is he half-naked and unmoving? What horrible things have you done to him?"
"That's not what happened! Must you always think the worst of me?!" Ranma snapped back. "Not only has that Kodachi bitch made me look bad she also practically tried to rape my fiance. If Akane doesn't finish her off, I will!"
