This, and the following chapters, are and will be longer than the previous. This one has had an idea, an idea that might be hilarious. This one's idea draws from WFrose, and maybe a little Noy… But no Telin'u. 'Cause Noy said he's a perv… But then why WFrose… My head hurts…
Now On with the pla… this one meant story... yeah story.. this one totally said story.
Last night at the Tendo Residence
"Zaijian" Shampoo said as she left the Tendo home after her story and supper.
"Bai-bai Master!" from Guess-Who.
This was possibly the weirdest thing Akane Tendo had ever heard. She was currently sitting across from a cat-girl who, apparently was a part-time boy. This was Mr. Saotome's fault. Though he meant well, in his stupidity actually cursed his son to change into a cat-girl with the application of cold water.
"Airen okay?" Koneko asked worriedly from across the table.
Not entirely sure how to answer Akane said "Ah...I'm fine. Go um... go play with the koi or something."
Brightening considerably Ranma bounded across the deck, over the backyard and skid to a halt on the rocks next to the koi pond and started to flick her hand in the water in a most feline way. Rising to his feet Mr. Saotome said something about disappointment and weakness, but Akane never paid attention.
Tired and a bit sweaty from breaking cinderblocks, Akane went upstairs to the bathroom to have a bath. First she went to her room and picked out a her bath supplies and towel, stacking them neatly in a little wooden bucket. After that she went to find her robe, but no matter where she looked she couldn't find it.
"Oneechan! Do you know where my bathrobe is?" she called "I can't find it."
"Yes, I put it in the bathroom." her sister replied.
"Thanks!"
Know knowing the location her errant robe she walked to the bathroom,not noticing the pile of red and black silks on top of the hamper.
'Man' Ranma thought as he sank in the tub.'If I knew Pop'd pull this one, I'd have stayed in China with the Old Hag and Shampoo.' Hearing someone moving around on the other side of the divider Ranma remembered something 'Dammit all! The door's unlocked!' Standing to go lock the door, he sees the it slide back revealing a butt-nekkid Akane.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!""WHO ARE YOU?!" They shouted in unison. Realizing they're both naked as the day they were born the turn back to back.
"I-I'm sorry." Ranma said, blushing violently."I forgot to put up the "occupied" sign. Don't hit me too hard, please."
Her brain finally catching up with her, Akane stuttered out. "You're Ranma right?"
"Yes"
"Well LOCK THE DOOR NEXT TIME IDIOT!" Akane screamed slapping his face from behind, before storming off to her room, wearing nothing but a towel.
Akane's Room, this Mour...Morning
Waking up,groggily Akane yawned."That was a weird dream." sitting up she feels something wrapped around her midsection. pulling back the blankets she sees Koneko hugging her contentedly."KY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Hearing the scream everyone ran upstairs skidding to a halt Nabiki opened her sister's room, to see Koneko rubbing her head against Akane. Trying to pry off Koneko, Akane said "Don't just stand there! Help me!"
Kasumi walked into her little sister's room and put her hand on Koneko's shoulder. "Breakfast is ready Koneko-chan."
Koneko's eyes widened like platters. "Really?"
"Yes Koneko-chan, I made miso soup and rice"
"Is Airen coming?" Koneko asked akane, unconsciously using the "Kitten's Eyes of Doom".'
Grouchily Akane said "Yes".
"Yay!" getting off of Akane Koneko walked down stairs with the rest of the family while Akane change out of her pyjamas.
Kasumi had just finished setting the table when Akane sat a the table. together the family said grace and started to eat. This would be almost like a normal breakfast except for what was going on on the far end of the table. Koneko leaned over her bowl of miso soup and was lapping it up like a cat with a saucer of milk. Finding this odd, Soun said "Ranma, please use the chopsticks."
Looking up from her bowl Koneko answered "Why? Master said Koneko doesn't have to, and master is always right."
"And what would you say if I told you she was wrong?" Soun said, getting slightly annoyed.
"Koneko would say Daimakaicho-sama invited all the demons for a snowman -making-contest." Koneko said cheerfully.
"This is entertaining and all,"Nabiki interrupted "but it's almost time for school."
"Now that we're staying in one place" Genma added. "You have to go to school with Nabiki and Akane, Boy."
With sparkling eyes Koneko put her fists under her chin and said "Really? With Airen?
"Yes with Akane."
"Change back though" Akane groused "I don't want people to see some girl trying to glomp me."
"'Kay Airen!" Koneko chirped (Cats don't chirp, Do they?) " Can Koneko have some warm water? Please?" again utilizing the "Kitten's Eyes of Doom*"
Shoko Maki Street
Nabiki had went ahead, leaving Akane and Ranma alone together.
"Just remember, we're strangers okay? " Akane said sourly.
"And you're telling me?" Ranma said from his perch on a chain-link fence.
Grouchily Akane continued "I don't want you hanging around me all the time while we're in school, do you understand?'
"Don't worry about that; I can't stand tomboys like you!"
More out of surprise than anger Akane eloquently replies"Hn!" Before she even has her briefcase ready to throw, Genma dashes out from…. somewhere… and bashes Ranma on the back of his head.
"HEY! what di'ja do that for?!"
"Listen Ranma, you're in no position to be picky about women!" Genma continues as Akane blinked owlishly "Listen, Ranma, I've told you a thousand times…" But before Genma could continue his rant, his son hooks hi foot around Genma's and knocks him off of the fence and into the canal below. "OWOAH!"
"Hey! What's wrong Pop? Weren't you gonna say something?" Ranma teased from his perch. Enraged Genma -now a large panda with glasses hanging on it's left ear- started to chase his son along the fence. Just to annoy Genma further Ranma didn't run, nor did he walk; instead he shimmied along with his back to Akane, who stood gawking at the rather comedic sight before her. Just as the panda was about to slash him, Ranma somersaulted off of the fence and landed on the sidewalk opposite the fence "What a lame attack." he said in boredom.
Unbeknownst to him an old lady - who was, in her defense, nearsighted- was too far down her walkway, and (maybe) accidentally splashed him as she washed it.
"AIREN!" Koneko squealed as she glomp-tackled Akane "Airen take Koneko on date now, yes?"
Looking on from the opposite side of the street Genma took out a wooden sign that had two words. these two words perfectly summed up exactly how he -and Akane - felt.
"Oy vey…"
Front Gates of Furinkan Koukou
A large group of boys dressed in all manner of sports attire stood talking, joking and generally being teen aged boys.
"... will you let go already!" Akane ask in a pseudo-calm voice "We're almost to the gate! Let go!" Her voice darkening. " Get OFF!"
Upon hearing this, the group of boys talking stopped, and the all turned their attention to the gates…
...And what they saw was what some of the most memorable stories were made of. But, keep in mind, These stories would be right at home in a volume of Icha Icha. The boy who managed to hold stem the wave of unconsciousness and blood that washed over the grope… I mean group felt their hearts sink to their feet when they realized the implications of what they saw. Akane Tendo was a damn lesbian, or so it appeared.
"But earthlier happy is the rose distilled.
Than that which withering on the virgin thorn
Grows, lives, and dies in single blessedness"
The mystery voice steps out from behind a tree, revealing a brown-haired teen dressed in a Kendo uniform. " These.. weaklings, such a boorish lot, truly,"The previously clear sky began to darken, like pitch seeping through the azure sky."They fought for the privilege of your company, Akane, if they could manage to defeat you, that is. What fools these mortals be."
Annoyedly Akane said "Oh Kuno, excuse me." running to the side she was stopped.
"Oh, though she be but little she is fierce." raising his bokken he continued Wilt thou spar with me?"
"Stick-Boy no take Koneko's Airen!"
Finally opening his eyes he notices that his 'love' is not alone he says "pardon?"
"Stick-Boy not take Akane! She Koneko's airen!"
Now, Kuno doesn't know how to deal with this. 'I was suppose to finally win her hand! Not be stopped by some wanton harlot! She must be stopped, lest she defile the fierce tigress, Akane tendo!' And because he didn't know how to deal with it, he delved into the shallows of his mind to solve the riddle prostrate before him. now unbeknownst to him, Akane, and by extension, Koneko, had passed him when he was lost in -what passed for- thought.
