New Power
Chapter 5: Blue Thunder vs. Lightning Swordsman
After explaining some of the parts that Nodoka didn't hear before, Ranma and Akane went off to their room and Kagayaki and Junsui were lead to Akane's old room. Before they had gone to bed Nabiki had told them that their new guests were now enrolled at Furinkan High in the same classes as Ranma and Akane.
Flashback...
"Thanks Nabiki." Junsui says.
"Sure it was no problem. That would be 20000 yen."
"What! Why do I have to pay that much just for that."
"One, I'd charge everyone depending on what was the job was. Two, you don't get the family discount. The only reason why I give the discount to Ranma is because he's my baby sister's inazuke and I make plenty of money off of bets from all the crap he gets into." explains the Ice Queen with all the looks to go with it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So you mentioned that these spirits will help protect us from being cursed, what if we're already cursed?" Ranma asks from on top of the fence along the canal on their way to school.
"Depending on how long you had the curse and what it does will vary the time and what happens to it when your spirit breaks it, I told ya last night I used to change into a girl at night, remember? Junsui conveniently had some pictures to show ya." Kagayaki sighs following Ranma on the fence top as well.
"Oh yea, well anyway I hope my little dragon breaks this damn curse soon..."
"Well here's our school, we'll just have to take care of our local kendo practicing, perverted pest and we'll give you a quick tour before class." Akane says as they reach the gates.
"Saotome you cur! Release your hold on Akane Tendo immediately so I can finally cut you down, you villainous sorcerer!" Kuno yells stepping out from under a tree and into his usual kendo ready stance.
"So this is the idiot who keeps comin' after ya, huh? I haven't had any fun for a while so I'll play with him for you guys." Kagayaki says as he drops into a loose stance similar to Ranma's.
"You sure Kagayaki? Kuno can be a little tough at times." Akane asks.
"Don't worry 'bout me this guy's not much more than a pest with money, a big mouth, and thinks he's a samurai."
"We didn't tell you that kind of stuff about that idiot, where'd ya here that?" Ranma asks.
"Oh everywhere, I've been listening to some of the other students. Only difference is that I'm sayin' what I hear, not what I know." Kagayaki replies simply as Kuno grows angrier as he is ignored and hears what the four teens are saying about him.
"You're the same villain from before! I shall smite thee for your injustice to Clan Kuno as well as myself! DIE!" Kuno yells as he falls into his usual strike pattern in attempt to hit his opponent who appeared to be effortlessly dodging his bokken.
"You know, I think you have some trouble accepting reality."
"SILENCE! Hold still!"
"Hey I just sayin' that 'cause its true, lots of people say that you, your sister, and your father are all idiots and live your own fantasies."
"DIE YOU FIEND!!!"
"Hey guys, should I just beat him up or humiliate him?" Kagayaki asks as if he wasn't doing anything at all.
"Hey man go ahead, waddya got in mind?" Ranma laughs at the possibilities.
"This ought to be good." Akane smirks.
"Okay Kuno, my turn!" Kagayaki says as he draws his short katana from its sheath and smirks as he hears other students make comments about a real sword against a wooden sword.
"It does not matter! Tatawaki Kuno will defeat you!" Kuno yells as he charges his opponent and slashes dozens of times with surprising speed. Kagayaki however, disappeared from first slash and reappeared ten feet behind Kuno sheathing his katana.
"Come on we don't want to be late for class." Kagayaki smirks then looks up at one of the windows and sees Nabiki watching them. "Hey Nabiki! Hope ya got your camera!"
"Nani? What's he talking about?" Akane asks, apparently Ranma and Junsui didn't know either.
Kuno was just as confused as the others, all he knew was that his opponent had disappeared when he attacked and thought he felt something surround him for an instant. A breeze swept through the schoolyard and everyone discovered what Kagayaki had done; Kuno's clothes, bokken, and hair fell apart and was quickly spread around in small strips and pieces. Kuno was left standing in front of his school wearing shreds of his boxers and feeling his freshly shaved head as various students whipped out cameras and used all their film or memory getting shots of the 'Blue Thunder's' royal embarrassment to sell and/or add to scrapbooks and the yearbooks for years to come. Last shots were taken as Kuno ran through the gates in the general direction of his mansion surprising many pedestrians that also happened to have cameras on his way.
"Wow that was great!" "Damn! I didn't have my camera" "Can I have some copies?"
"Hey man how the hell did ya do that? I could barely see what you did." Ranma asks as they walk to the front doors.
"Speed and a lot of practice."
"I was wondering what you were going to do this time, that was pretty good."Junsui snickers.
"This time? He's done that kind of stuff before?" Akane asks.
"Hey, Junsui's no angel either!" Kagayaki says quickly as Junsui simply laughs at him and their new friends surprised faces.
"Class, we two new students today. Would you care to introduce yourselves?" the first period teacher says in his monotone voice.
"Ohayo, I'm Junsui Umi and this is my inuzuke Kagayaki Denko and we're staying at the Tendo Dojo." she says quickly.
"Um...thank you, Umi sit behind Miss Tendo, Denko sit behind Mister Saotome."
And so another boring school day, however Ranma and Akane noticed that Ukyo wasn't in class that day and Shampoo didn't cone crashing through the walls or even come close to Ranma to give him some ramen she had made. Things were noticeably quieter even when Kuno came back to school in the middle of second period, he spent his time trying to find information on the new students, especially the girl he recently added to his 'Must have' list.
