Hello Everyone!
I'm super duper sorry that I left you all hanging on that last chapter like that for a while; I feel ashamed for doing that so please forgive me, kay? Lately, a lot has happened to me within that time gap within my life that I'm just trying to focus and get back on track but I'll continue to do my best when it comes to updating this fun story with my baby Setsu. If anything, I'll post like small side one shot stories to make up for my lack of updating the story. I've just been having a hard time with writing out this chapter, I want the fight between Akane & Setsu to be funny but good, you get me?Wanna know something funny? I had actually half-way finished this chapter the 3rd day after I finished posting up chapter 1, my computer wanted to be an A-S-S so it decided to refresh the page and delete all my work...nearly curled up in a ball and cried. I know this chapter may or may not be what you expected from me BUT I've done my best to try and re-create what was lost; I hope you continue to support, review and read this wacky tale of mine for our little P-chan~
*Random voice yells out* IT'S RYOGA!
*Rolls eyes in response to the voice* Whatever P-chan, when you become Markiplier THEN I'll call you by your name so nah. I do not own anything in reference to the entire series or characters of Ranma 1/2, only thing I own is my adorable baby Setsu 3
Chapter 2: Akane Vs. Setsu; Plot Twisting Secrets' Revealed!
3
-Beep! Beep! Beep-
The alarm clock began to yell out as the time read "4:30" with a bright red shine, in hopes that Setsu will notice with groggy eyes and get up. Yet, she was stuck in her dreamland as she was going over different fighting styles with her dream Akane as internal memorization and visual practice. She finished throwing Akane to the ground with a simple arm twist and a tackle as she sighed still trying to think about if she's forgotten about any move or technique that Akane might throw upon her. She went through her mental notes about Akane's body structure and hypothesized different styles that the Tendo Dojo tends to use within the training practices of the Tendo's. She began to hear the beeping in the distance of her dreamland as she realized that she was beginning to wake up from her slumber, looking back at the Dream Akane she had created she waved towards it while the scenery faded away. Opening her eyes slowly she blinked a couple of times to focus her blurry vision properly.
"hm...oh it's 4:30 already? Oh well, time to get ready for Akane's match" Setsu said groggily while sitting up.
She decided to step back into the shower & dumped a bucket of cold water on herself quickly, revealing a slightly taller and bustier woman with purple hair cascading towards her waist once more.
"Geez that's cold! Sometimes I wonder why the curse only has to be with cold water?" Setsu said with a cry.
Drying herself off with her towel and hair dryer she looked at herself in the mirror and thought about what she was going to wear.
"A skirt maybe? I can move easier in that outfit and if anything I could wear shorts underneath incase the skirt goes up with my flips, even using that to my advantage of blinding Akane's focus for a couple of seconds if possible, testing her focus and concentration. A pair of loose black chinese pants? It might restrain my movement a tad but it could help me fight on fairer terms and could allow me to study her quickened movements, along with her agility, close combat and focus too! ALRIGHT! black chinese pants it is, with a yellow top & bow of course; put my hair in a ponytail so it's less of a hassle too" Setsu said to herself.
She opened the bathroom door and quick walked towards her room as she opened and closed the door quickly. Opening up the closet, she pulled out her chinese styled outfit (moreover it's similar to Ranma's sleeveless top but it's yellow). She put on the outfit, tied her purple hair with her pale blue bow in a ponytail and put on her black flat shoes, her clock displayed 4:45 as she glanced at herself in the mirror to make sure she was perfect. Once she twirled one last time she headed out of her room and walked downstairs where her mother was waiting for her by the doorway.
"Have a wonderful time dear" Mina said with a smile towards her daughter.
"Thank you mother, I should be back by 11 but I have my key just incase" Setsu said with a confident grin.
"Don't be so rough on your 'student' Akane dear; teach & learn" Mina responded with a silly tone.
Setsu nodded, stepping out of her house the clear sky twinkled with a promise of surprises in store for her. Walking along the walkway in the direction of the Tendo Dojo wasn't difficult since she decided to travel by rooftops to find the dojo quicker, within 20 minutes she arrived at her destination and jumped down from the roof of a two story building to a cement wall and landing on the ground infront of the wooden doors. Knocking on the door and not receiving a response, she decided to jump on the trashcan to climb on top of the cement slanted wall and wait for someone to notice. She heard a distant noise of arguing and looked towards her left & noticed two figures running...more like one figure running away from another.
"RANMA! I'M GONNA GET YOU FOR THIS!" a voice yelled out in anger.
"Quit it Ryouga! Dr. Tofu needs me to deliver this to Akane! I can't drop it!" Ranma yelled out while continuously running.
"...Ryouga?...." Setsu thought as her heart beats began to quicken.
She watched in awe as they got closer as she widened her eyes, it was him. Looking just like he did before he mysteriously disappeared long ago, his sharp eyes being as sharp as ever. Wearing his striped headband and the usual yellow and black outfit that complimented his trained form, he was truly here at this moment. Setsu held her pants cloth within her left hand grasped tightly, as to not lose her composure & blow her cover. How she wanted to run to him & hug him & just not want to let go yet she wanted to beat the living hex outta him & just spar with him for old times sake. Yet, she merely watched the careful fight between Ryouga & Ranma to study different styles to keep note on for later on.
"This ends today! Right here, Right Now!" Ryouga exclaimed with a fanged smile.
"Can we do this like AFTER I give this to Akane?" Ranma asked nervously.
"Trying to use an excuse to run away again?!" Ryouga exclaimed once more.
Ryouga opened his steel umbrella & launched it directly at Ranma, Setsu narrowed her eyes as she saw the signal. With that, she jumped from her spot & landed infront of Ranma as she extended her right hand, ready to catch the umbrella. When the umbrella made contact with her hand she winced a little from the sudden force but was able to stop it & hold it firmly in her hand with ease once more.
"Well, Hello Ranma, I didn't expect to see you outside of your house this late" Setsu said with a smile.
"OH! Uh...M-Ms. Kaguya ! What a surprise! Is it 5 already?! Well I better get inside, wanna come in?" Ranma said nervously with a blush.
She nodded as she simply held the closed umbrella like it weighed nothing & threw it back at Ryouga with ease. Both making direct eye contact for a couple of minutes in silence, studying each other as if they were trying to figure each other out. With that, Akane led them both inside of the house and began with the introductions.
"You must be my little Akane's teacher, Ms. Kaguya, correct?" asked with a grin.
"That's correct Mr. Tendo, she has been doing well in my class so far so I do not have a simple complaint about her. The workout session she puts up with at school is quite impressive to watch but reassured, dealing with the situation was a breeze so she will not be bothered anymore" Setsu spoke in a mature but calm tone.
Everyone was impressed with her story of her amazon tribe heritage, as well as her family lineage with the goddess of the moon; compliments upon her look and resemblance were noted as Setsu fidgeted a tad while having Ryouga watch and listen from a far outside. She stood up and stretched her legs a little bit while receiving silence from the tendo's.
"Oh Ms. Kaguya, do you want to spar now?" Akane asked as she stood up as well.
"Well if you want to Akane, I can wait as much as you like" responded with a smile.
Everyone stood up as they made their way towards the hallway, heading towards the dojo. As was the last one to leave, she felt a hand grab her left arm and pull her back a little. Praying that it wasn't him, she turned around to see who her captor was. Familiar eyes connected with hers as her heartbeat began to quicken and her cheeks began to heat up.
"Y-Yes?" asked.
"Have we met somewhere before?" Ryouga asked with a serious/suspicious tone.
"Not that I can recall, this is my first time being here in Japan; Ryouga-kun, was it? Well, I look forward to socializing with you again Ryouga-kun" was internally kicking herself from her stupidity.
"Just call me Ryouga" he responded with a slight blush from embarrassment.
He released her arm as they silently walked next to each other. they journey to the dojo seemed longer than it appeared. Yet, she stopped abruptly & leaned her back against the wall with a light blush forming on her cheeks with averted eyes.
"So...why did you assume that we had met before, Ryouga?" Ms. Kaguya asked.
Ryouga blushed when he looked at this small goddess once more. Approaching her, he had one hand against the wall as they stared at each other in silence, Ryouga had began to internally think about what he was going to say.
"Gosh, she looks pretty. She really does remind me of Setsu, this aura around her plus she looks like a more older Setsu. Even the family heritages are identical! Could she be a relative?! Maybe I could ask her how Setsu's doing but I bet Setsu must have forgotten about me by now" Ryouga thought.
"You...You just look like this girl I left behind. S-She wasn't my girlfriend or anything! But, she was someone who meant a lot to me but to this day I still miss her. I thought that you might be a relative of hers" Ryouga blushed openly.
They began to walk again afterwards & stopped at the entrance of the dojo, she merely smiled at him as she patted Ryouga's head.
"Don't worry, I'll let her know that you are alive and well. She still remembers who you are though, after her shock from your sudden disappearance she always worried about where you were and how you were doing. It took a while for her mom and I to calm her down and just pray that you were doing well. If anything, I'll call her & you can talk to her later on after my spar?" Ms. Kaguya said with a smile.
She entered the dojo, leaving a happy Ryouga behind. Everyone had been waiting for them but now, Setsu was just too happy to even realize that they had begun the match. To everyone, this 2 hour fight seemed like more than just 2 hours versus Akane & Setsu thinking it was a mere 15 minutes; Akane attempted a forward running strike while Setsu merely twirled elegantly out of the way & struck a minor pressure point on Akane's side. Setsu narrowed her sharpened eyes as she studied the struggle of Akane internally losing her strength as she grew weary and tired. 2 hours of sparring to Setsu felt like nothing since she was used to sparring with her mother all the time yet she knew Akane moreover trains by herself so being against an opponent can have its downfalls when comparing training styles and stamina. Setsu had turned around to think about a strategy to quickly end this match so Akane could take a break.
"Don't turn your back on your opponent! That gives me an opening for a strong strike!" Akane yelled out as she run towards Ms. Kaguya, aiming a kick towards the middle of her back.
Ms. Kaguya grinned as Ranma caught on to what was going to occur.
"Akane! Stop being stupid & think!" Ranma yelled out.
It was already too late Setsu had crouched down quickly and looked up as Akane jumped over her with her miss. Setsu shot up and grabbed Akane's left arm and threw her over her shoulder to the ground as they both breathed with a labored tempo. It was over.
" Ms. Kaguya wins this match" Genma announced.
Both girls laughed as they both stood up. They enjoyed each other's fighting styles & began giving each other tips while everyone began heading back into the house for dinner. was just so sore, sweaty and tired but she was happy that the night was going so well, as promised she dragged Ryouga by the hand to the house phone & dialed her own cell phone (luckily, she set it on silent before hand).
"I'm just going to take up Akane's offer on the shower so have fun Ryouga" said with a smile as she disappeared up the stairs.
"Alright! Thank You !" Ryouga exclaimed with a happily fanged smile.
Setsu had quickly closed the door to bathroom as she took out her cell phone & happily answered it with butterflies in her stomach.
"Hello?" Setsu said.
"Um Setsu?" the voice said shyly"
"Yes? Who is this?" Setsu asked.
"It's Ryouga, I mi-mis! I mean, h-h-how have you been?" Ryouga said embarassingly.
"I've been doing good, I've been so worried about you! After you disappeared, I thought something happened & you were in trouble somewhere; is everything alright?" Setsu asked, her cheeks were so red but her adrenaline was just pumping.
"I know, I know. I have a lot of explaining to do but I promise that once I finish what I have to do I'll go back & we can go back to how things used to be...when I get back, I...have something I want to tell you; can you wait for me?" Ryouga asked, he lowered his head & the strong blush just gave it away to the rest of the spying tendo family that Ryouga was talking to a girl he liked.
Setsu covered her mouth with her hand in shock as to what she just heard. She calmed down but closed her eyes as she tried to gain her composure.
"Of course I can, I'll always wait for you. But, where are you though?" Setsu asked.
"I'm just here in Japan, at a friends house; your relative had dialed your cellphone number for me so I'll write it down" Ryouga said with a sigh.
"It's funny because I'm in Japan too" Setsu said quietly.
"WHAT?! YOU'RE HERE TOO?! HOW?! WHY?! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Ryouga exclaimed as Setsu moved the phone away from her ear.
"Don't worry but how about we make this a game of hide & seek? I'm hiding & you have to find me" Setsu said with a giggle.
He chuckled at her silliness but thought about how he would search high & low for her.
"Alright, may the best man win" Ryouga said confidently.
They both chuckled at how young & silly they still were with each other. Setsu wanted to shower though so she had to cut the conversation short.
"hey, I have to start doing some stuff for dinner with my mom but I'm so happy to have talked to you" Setsu said while twirling a purple hair strand.
"Same here Setsu, tell your mom I say hi! And I..I..miss you" Ryouga said.
"I miss you too, alright...bye!" Setsu said with a smile.
They both hung up the phone, just happy to have heard each others voices. Setsu was lucky that Ryouga assumed her tone was from puberty. She removed her clothing and laid it in small hamper. As she wrapped the towel around her body, she heard water splashing within the bathroom and assumed Akane had beaten her into bathtub & prayed that the hot water wasn't running. She took in a deep breath and slide open the door and heard a female voice.
"Oh, well hi" the female voice said.
Setsu slowly opened her eyes & took in what she saw, a red haired girl with her hair picked up in a small pig tail style, full naked and looking at her with a turned back.
"Oh...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to barge in on you showering; Akane really made me work up a small sweat & she said I could borrow the shower. Would you mind if we bathed together? I won't be offended if you don't want to" she said as she tightened her hold on her towel & looked away with an embarrassed blush.
The red headed female looked away with a blush as well as she didn't really know what to do.
"I...I guess it's fine" she said.
Setsu happily grinned as she sat next to the girl, still wearing the towel. The red-headed girl stole a side glance at Setsu and was internally jealous but blown away. Her purple hair was so long and silky nipping at her perfectly toned skin. Her body shape just reminded her of a doll that was only meant to be viewed, her chest was slightly bigger than her own which brought on secret jealousy. Setsu had poured cold water into the water pan as she dumped it ontop of her head as she shivered a little.
"It was just so hot and cooling off like this is just pure bliss...yet, you seem familiar to me; may I ask you something?" Setsu said.
"Sure, go right ahead" the red head responded back nervously.
"Did you ever fight with a large panda in Jusenkyo? If you did, it's alright because I know" Setsu said with direct eye-contact.
The red head narrowed her eyes but sighed.
"Who are you? How do you know me? do you have a curse on you too?" the red head asked suspiciously.
"Relax, I suggest you put a towel on please" Setsu said as she turned away and handed her a towel.
The red headed wrapped the towel securely around the waist and sat back down and poured warm water into basin.
"Now. Start talking" the red head said with the warm water at eye level.
"Alright, I'm Suset Kaguya and I came here to Japan with my mother to see if there was a way to reverse this curse. The same time I was sparring with my mother...I witnessed a boy & his father sparring as well but the father fell into the pond and turned into a panda while the boy became a red-headed girl, am I correct Ranma?"Setsu stopped & sprayed warm water at the red headed girl.
The red headed girl turned into a black haired guy who blinked in confusion at what just happened.
"Don't fret, I've kept your secret for this long. In due time, I'll explain and show my true form but for now I have to remain a secret too" Ms. Kaguya said.
Setsu stood up and grinned as she turned around to walk away. An abrupt grasp upon her arm made her squeak as she stepped backwards and slipped on the floors surface causing them both to fall but the warm water to land on both of them. A yelp could be heard as Akane entered the bathroom and wondered what was going on.
"Ms. Kaguya? Ms. Kaguya, Are You Alright? I heard you yelp!" Akane asked worriedly yet after sliding open the doot she stopped and saw what made her yelp.
Ranma, dripping wet, wearing a towel around his waist, on all fours and looking down shocked at a young girl laying down on the floor underneath him, exchanging the same shocked look back at him, with wet sprawled out brown hair and the towel a tad loose revealing cleavage.
They both looked at Akane's shocked face as her anger quickly boiled and she yelled out.
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
