Last time on : Ranma May Cry ;

Chuckling, despite himself, Ranma looked up with a humorous glow in his eyes as his body was glowing a dim black "Oh? You could call me a... bodyguard of sorts" He grinned mischeviously before a flux of energy filled the room, his chinese shirt shredded, leaving a black armor. His head grew horns, and his eyes seemed to glow red with power as his trenchcoat became like a second skin. Seeing Tofu's shocked glazed over look, Ranma laughed out loud "Although, I like to be the intimidator in certain conversations" This was all Nabiki heard before the world went black, as she collapsed unceremonially to the ground.

Ranma May Cry

Dr Tofu Ono... a harbringer demon of the underworld... was scared. No, saying he was scared would be like saying an atomic bomb, could kill. He was petrified with fear, as his eyes took in the sight of Ranma's demon form "S-Sparda?"

Grinning despite himself, Ranma stood up from the chair and walked over to the collapsed Nabiki "Not quite... It's a curse, though not as bad as it could have been I guess, that I got from China"

Calming a bit, Tofu nodded his head, lighting a cigarette from his now open pack "I... See" In truth, he was glad that it wasn't the original Sparda, something that Ranma picked up on instantly "And where pray tell,... is this accursed place that you picked up the demonic seed?"

Setting Nabiki in the chair, Ranma grinned and glanced at Tofu through the corner of his eye "Oh... don't try and go back there. I guarentee that it's no longer there" Something in his grin, told Dr Tofu that it was him that caused the spring to 'disappear' "Though... would you mind answering my question?" Seeing his confused look, Ranma let out a sigh before sitting in another chair "I asked what a demon like yourself was doing in the mortal world... as a doctor no less..."

Taking a long drag from his cigarette, Tofu nodded his head and blew out the smoke "I'll humor you, if you humor me afterwards." Seeing his hesitant nod, Tofu grinned "Actually, I left the pits of he hell to squell my hunger" Seeing Ranma's nod, and a ghost of a smirk pass across his face, Tofu shook his head "After I got here and satisfied myself... I grew to like this area" A small blush crossed his face before he took a drag on his cigarette again "I've come to like it here... almost like a second home"

Chuckling a little bit, Ranma nodded his head "Yea... I understand what you mean. I've only been here for two days, and I've come to like this place" Grinning, Ranma stood up and picked up a now awakening Nabiki "Doc, as much as I would sit here and talk with you... I've got to get myself and Nabiki to school" Seeing his slow nod, Ranma smiled and released his hold on his demonic powers, flashing back to his human side "I'll come back here later today if you wish" Seeing him nod again, Ranma chuckled "Gotcha.. Well Dr. Tofu... it was nice meeting you" Shifting Nabiki around in his arms, Ranma reached out and gently gripped his hand in a handshake "Talk to you later"

Walking out of the office, Ranma jumped to the roof and stared toward the tall building in the distance as Nabiki woke up "Ugh... what hit me?"

Not stopping his roof hopping, Ranma chuckled a little bit and launched them high into the air, before landing in the street across from the school "Nothing... you had a bit of heat stroke I suppose"

Blushing a little bit, Nabiki found herself staring into Ranma's red eyes with a hungry look "Oh? hmm... Thank you then" Looking around her, Nabiki couldn't help but blink "Wait... you carried me all the way here?" Seeing his grin and nod, Nabiki flushed further "Oh man... come on, set me down"

Blinking in confusion, Ranma set her down on her feet before turning toward the school "Why did you want me to set you down? I was going to take you to the nurses station..."

Looking around, Nabiki flinched at all the looks she was getting from passing students "Oh man... this is horrible" Seeing his confused look, Nabiki scowled "People are going to talk..." Stiffling a giggle as Ranma's face got even more confused, Nabiki shook her head "About us... about YOU carrying ME to school"

Shrugging his shoulders, Ranma started toward the school with Nabiki in tow "What's so bad about that? I mean... we are eng-"

Quickly slapping her hand over Ranma's mouth, Nabiki levelled a glare that would make an iceberg jealous "Don't you DARE say that here..." Softening her features slightly, to where she was just giving him a complicated look that Ranma had no idea how to take "I have a reputation to uphold here... please,... don't"

Sighing, more to himself than to her, Ranma noded and continued walking, unconsciously giving her the cold shoulder "If that's how you want it.. fine" he sped up slightly to a running speed "See ya later"

Watching his retreating form, Nabiki felt her anger rising at the easy dismissal, before shaking her head 'I have other things to worry about than that baka' She blinked for a second before sighing 'It's not his fault... He didn't know about the engagement' She walked toward the school and nodded to a few of her closer friends as they came closer "okay, we have a little time before Akane shows up to fight off her horde... offer odds on how many boys get hits in, and offer a two to one odd that Kuno changes his nickname" She closed her eyes before sighing, openening them and looking around for Ranma unconsciously "Then off odds to see if Kuno gets a hit in"

Nodding her head, one of the girls turned around to leave before stopping "Nabiki-sempai... " She turned around with a love struck look in her face, and a small red tint on her cheeks "Who was that devishly handsome boy you were with earlier?"

Feeling a migraine coming on, Nabiki shook her head and put out her hand "one thousand yen..." Seeing her look, Nabiki chuckled "Sorry, force of habbit... his name is Ranma Saotome, and he's staying with my family for a few months while he goes to school" She then grinned and looked at her "Offer information for a price of three thousand yen to any woman who want it... he's single, red eyes, white hair, and is a master of the anything goes martial arts"

Blinking at Nabiki, the girl nodded her head slowly "uh... right... you must've bled him dry for information already today" She giggled and turned around toward the crowds watching the boys line up "ODDS ARE TEN TO ONE THAT AKANE GETS HIT... TWO TO ONE THAT KUNO CHANGES HIS EVER ANNOYING NICKNAME... FOUR TO ONE THAT KUNO GETS A HIT IN" she was surrounding by people who were offering her money, shouting out bids.

Nabiki watched all of this with a blind eye, her mind not on the betting for once 'I Don't know why I offered the information on Ranma... isn't he supposed to be my Fiancee?' she let out a sigh and looked around her classroom, as her eyes rested upon the back of Ranma 'What's he doing here?' She blinked for a second and walked over toward him, her hips swaying slightly, enjoying the feel of one or two of the boys staring. She stopped when she got in front of Ranma's desk, and leaned against it slightly "Hey Ranma... how's it going?"

Looking up, Ranma closed his eyes and gave a rough smile before laying his head back down 'What... does she think that I'm just going to forget about earlier?' his thoughts came to an abrupt halt as he sighed again 'why am I acting like this... it's not like it's her fault'

Embarassed about the lack of voice she recieved, Nabiki quickly made her way away from his desk, a mask of neutrality on her face, but her mind flaring in anger 'How dare he ignore me... I'm his fiancee afterall...' She slowed her walk back toward the window to a stop, as she looked at the ground 'Is that why he's angry?' Turning around, she was going to head back to him, when she noticed an empty desk. Quickly looking toward the door, she was treated to the site of him walking outside with the teacher.

Making her way to the door, Nabiki leaned her ear against it and easvesdropped "I'm sorry to say this Mr. Saotome,... but until we recieve some form of transcripts from previous schools... your not going to be allowed to be inside the classroom"

Giving a sigh, Ranma nodded and answered "I... see... So I am to be tossed aside until you can recieve transcripts from schools that I've never gone too"

Shaking his head in more frustration than anger, the teacher narrowed his eyes at Ranma "Don't take that tone with me Mr. Saotome... I've seen your kind before. You don't think before you act, and your brash, arrogant, as well as undisciplined" He was going to continue, but the door from the classroom slid open revealing Nabiki "What do you want Ms. Tendo... I'm having a conversation with this boy at the moment"

Nabiki ignored the glare Ranma was giving the teacher, before putting her hands on her hips "Don't you think your jumping to conclusions about him Teach?" Seeing his narrowed eyes turn in her direction once more, only hardening, Nabiki returned the look, dropping her mask "I don't think the school board would very well like the method of your teaching... the belittling facts or the way you stare at the female students"

At a loss for words, the teacher cleared his throat and in a commanding voice, started to tell off Nabiki "Ms Tendo... don't pressume to stick your head in other people's business. Tell the board what you will, but it doesn't change the fact that Mr. Saotome here doesn't have any previous school short of what he CLAIMS he recieved" Not noticing Ranma's glare intensify, the teacher continued ranting "And it doesn't change the fact that he has very little respect for the rules" He made a motion toward Ranma, indicating his current state of dress "Let's not forget the lack of respect he shows for authority"

Having heard enough, Ranma beat Nabiki to the punch as his eyes gained a hard look of a veteran warrior, and stepped toward the teacher "If you have a problem with me, you can tell me to my face. I don't think you have a RIGHT to tell anyone BUT me... despite the fact that your a encouragable idiot"

Taken aback by the fierceness in Ranma's tone, the teacher quickly regained his wit "Very well Mr. Saotome. I don't like you... I don't think I will EVER like you" He stepped foward so he was face to face with the younger student "I despise people like you"

Staring at the teacher in shock, Nabiki could feel the hate and anger he was projecting toward Ranma, and took a step back "N-Now Teach... don't you think that's going a little far?"

Throwing his hand out, the teacher backhanded Nabiki sending her flying through the classroom, and clattering onto the ground "Stay out of this MS TENDO!" He grabbed the door by the handle and slammed it shut, his voice still carrying through the door "SO I BID YOU FAREWELL MR SAOTOME!"

Snarling with unkept rage, Ranma gripped the teacher by the neck and lifted him effortlessly off of the ground, pulling him toward his face "You don't like me? FINE! I don't give a damn what you feel toward me" With a casual flick of the wrist, the door opened and Ranma walked into the classroom, the teacher still in his hold "But if you EVER strike her again, I will destroy you" He tossed the teacher to the ground and levelled a glare that could easily break any strong willed man "I don't know what your problem with me is, but I don't want to see you ever touch another student!" stepping toward the teacher, and given the satisfaction of the teacher backing away from him, Ranma leaned over to stare into his eyes "Now apologize to her!"

Tearing his eyes from Ranma's own powerful red eyes, the teacher stared at Nabiki with an obvious look of fear on his face "I-I apologize M-Ms. Tendo... I lost myself there" given the relief of Ranma stepping away and over toward Nabiki, the teacher grinned to himself and pulled a dagger from his back pocket.

Walking toward the fallen Nabiki, who was currently staring at him in shock and holding her cheek, Ranma smiled warmly "Hey 'Biki... you okay there?" He leaned down to touch her bruised cheek when he felt a rush of energy, and saw Nabiki's eyes widen. Without wasting a second he lashed out with a powerful kick, landing it in the teacher's midsection, throwing him against the chalkboard. Standing to his full height, Ranma stood in front of Nabiki in a protective nature "What the hell's your problem... I'll leave once I make sure 'Biki's fine"

The teacher stood up and spit out a small amount of blood, which Ranma narrowed his eyes when he noticed it's black texture "I don't think so... your not leaving here! EVER!" His neck snapped to the side as a sharp point burst through. Arms bending at an awkward angle as they gained talons of bone, which burst through it's skin. Stepping forward, it sneered at Ranma "What do you think BOY... what can you do against a demon!"

Glancing at Nabiki over his shoulder, Ranma shrugged and started toward the demon "What can I do against a demon?" He stopped and brought a finger up to his chin, as if thinking, before he grinned at the posibilities "I could do many things" He put out his hand as he raised a finger, namely his middle one "I could kill you" Raising another finger, this time his thumb, Ranma sneered "Or I could destroy you"

Snarling in barely kept rage, the demon lept at Ranma, with it's talons aimed at Ranma's shoulder "DIE YOU ACCURSED HUMAN!"

Hearing the word accursed, Ranma lost all traces of joking, and narrowed his eyes "I see... so your one of the demons I felt last night... what's your purpose here" Ranma stepped to the side and gripped it's talon in his right hand, and backhanded him with the left, sending him effortlessly back toward the wall. Watching him tand up on it's haunches, Ranma shook his head sadly as he put his hand out, a blue light flashing into existence "I guess I have to put you out of my misery" The light collapsed on itself and formed a five foot blade with a demonic looking handle.

Staring in dismay at the sword, Nabiki tried to find her voice as she watched the two demons square off 'Jeez,... Ranma's being very protective over me' Her eyes widened slightly before she stared at his backside 'H-He doesn't really care about me... does he?' She shook her head sadly more to herself than at him 'Yeah right... he could never love a mercenary like me' Tears started to find their way down her cheek, before she even knew it.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Ranma noticed the tears and became enraged 'That damn demon hurt her! DAMN HIM!' Ranma's aura burst into existence as he poised Rebellion in front of him, the tip glowing an eerie black "Die,... like the demon you are" Without another word, Ranma threw himself forward at an astounding speed, and slammed the tip of the sword into it's the demon's 'neck' as Ranma's aura burned through the sword igniting the demon in a hellish blaze of black. Within seconds the 'teacher' ceased to exist, and Ranma swung his sword to the side, the ashes of the teacher blowing out the window with his swing. He then turned back to Nabiki and knelt down before her, a bit put off by the look of fear in her eyes "You okay 'Biki?" Seeing her nod, Ranma smiled warmly, causing her to blush slightly "That's good... glad he didn't hurt you too bad... let's get you to the nurses station" Not trusting her voice, Nabiki just nodded as Ranma picked her up and carried her through the door without a question.

In the back of the classroom, Tatewaki Kuno stared on with an impassive look before standing up 'That fiendish demon... struting around with the fair ladies chasing after him. I, Tatewaki Kuno, shall vanquish thee!' He pulled a boken from nowhere and ran out of the classroom, leaving several blank faced students behind.
