As the trio approached the gate to enter the school grounds Akane broke into a charge as almost the entire male population appeared and charged at her, while yelling claims of love for her at her. Ranma just stared at the display as he stayed in step with Nabiki, scanning their battle auras as well as Akane and saw nothing too impressive, even Akane wasn't much, however, she was far superior to the others…well except for one who hid by a tree, but even he was weak.
Ranma then let out another sigh "Nabiki what's going on?" Ranma asked.
"Kuno made a big speech at the beginning of the year, he said to date Akane you need to defeat her in battle and he has quite the reputation, he's supposedly the best male fighter at school" Nabiki replied.
"Well I'll have to do something about that won't I, after all this is only serving to boost Akane's ego until she thinks she is invincible" Ranma stated before slowly walking through the front gate and began to make his way through the army while Nabiki went round them, staying close to the wall so not to be injured. Many of the boys thought Ranma was new competition in gaining Akane's heart and so began to attack him, the poor idiots were knocked out with little effort from Ranma. However, even Ranma has a limit to his patience and the constant attacks from the boys was getting tiresome, he then pulled out his reverse blade sword out and used the same technique he used against Genma to knock out the remaining males with one shot by combing it with a dark chi spell. Ranma then turned to see Akane glaring at him; he then placed his weapon back in subspace.
"What?" Ranma questioned.
"Who said you could intervene in my fights?" Akane yelled.
"Hey when they attack me I fight back" Ranma replied, a rose then came shooting out of nowhere only to be caught by Akane, Kuno then came out of his hiding place and began to approach the pair.
"So Akane could you tell me how to get to class before I'm late?" Ranma asked not really caring about the glares he was receiving from the two students.
"And who are you to be so formal with the fair maiden Akane Tendo?" Kuno the asked as he sliced the air with his boken.
"Who wants to know?" Ranma asked with a dark chuckle.
"Of course it is common curtsey to give one's own name before asking another's name fine then mine I shall give, I am Tatewaki Kuno rising star of the Tendo world and blue thunder of Furinkan high" Kuno declared.
"Blue thunder huh? Talk about lame and what's worse is giving yourself your title, pathetic" Ranma stated, causing veins to begin to pulsate on Kuno's head.
"And you are?" Kuno asked again.
"Ranma Saotome champion of the amazons, oh and yes I earned that title the hard way" Ranma replied with a smirk as he saw realization appear in Kuno's eyes "I guess I really do have a reputation huh?" Ranma sighed.
"You're him? Finally I Tatewaki Kuno shall meet thy's destiny by defeating you and then I shall date the fair Akane Tendo" Kuno declared before charging at Ranma swinging his boken, Ranma just sighed and stood his ground.
Kuno then brought his boken down on Ranma, only to have Ranma grip it in his right hand before giving a strong push, striking him in his gut, causing Kuno to double over in pain and let out a gasp of pain.
"Pathetic, come back when you can actually fight" Ranma sighed before pushing Kuno to the ground with his own weapon, Ranma then turned to a glaring Akane "So can we get to class now or do you wanna be late?" Ranma asked, Akane eyes then flashed with realization remembering that she had less then a minute to get to class, on the third floor.
A Couple Minutes Later…
The duo entered the classroom only to be met by their homeroom teachers glare. "Class this is our new student Ranma Saotome, he has just gotten back from China, now Ranma would you care to say something to the class" the teacher stated, the classroom erupted into whispers and gasps and it was clear to Ranma that a few of them had heard of him.
"Sure sir, I am Ranma Saotome heir to the school of anything goes martial arts, for as long as I can remember I have been training in the art" Ranma stated, the teacher then gave them both buckets of water before sending them to stand in the hall way for being late.
Akane leaned against the wall and let the bucket hang by her hands in front of her as she stared at her own reflection, Ranma, however, balanced his on his head, standing up strait eyes closed.
It was then Kuno came running down the hall, supporting two buckets of water on his boken which was stretched across his shoulders, crying out "Ranma Saotome you fiend I won't allow it, for you to live under the same roof as the fair maiden Akane Tendo"
Ranma slowly opened his eyes before leaping out of the way of Kuno's full buckets as they were launched at him, his bucket remaining on his head, not spilling a drop, remember Ranma can control water like his mother can.
"Kuno I'm only staying with her family while I resolve a small problem, besides her father…and my…father…are old friends, me and…pop…are staying in the guest room" Ranma snapped, barely containing his anger from calling Genma his father, he hated the very idea of it.
"Your lies can't fool me you dastardly fiend, you are using this as an excuse so you can have your way with the fair virtues maiden Akane Tendo, you dirty animal" Kuno yelled, Ranma's anger continued to rise.
"You really are insane aren't you, I have no interest in doing anything with Akane yet alone that, what kind f perverted freak are you for thinking something like that up…but if you want to fight me again then follow me, there's no room here for a fight and I don't want to get anyone hurt just because of your foolish perverted fantasies" Ranma snapped before heading down the hallway, after tossing the bucket aside, Kuno then began to follow Ranma, he maybe a fool and insane but he did have some survival instinct and he knew Ranma was good and could beat him to a bloody pulp if he got serious, he just refused to accept it, believing he was the best, gods gift to women and couldn't lose to some heartless fiend.
Ranma then noticed an open window "Well here's a nice shortcut" Ranma stated before leaping out of the window, with Kuno close behind him, although where Ranma looked before leaping, Kuno did not. Kuno began flailing in the air, screaming where as Ranma just remained calm in a standing form, his hand in his pockets and eyes closed, Ranma then landed on the water, however, unlike when Kuno hit the water strait afterwards Ranma stood on the like he would solid ground and walked out of the pool while Kuno swam out, panting like crazy.
Ranma then glanced up to see a large crowd assembled and were watching them with great interest, Kuno then stood up and began checking that all his limbs were still intact, before turning to face Ranma and running at him, going around the pool, he then began striking with his boken at full speed with little accuracy, making it easier for Ranma to dodge them, especially since his soaked clothes slowed down his movements.
"Tenshin Amaguriken" Ranma declared after dodging another strike, he then proceeded to strike Kuno with hundred of punches, going full speed while putting his strength into them. Kuno was shot back and thrown into the pool again due to the force of his punches, Ranma then proceeded to head back to class.
Meanwhile…
Kasumi was cleaning the kitchen when she noticed Ranma had left his lunch so she put it near the kitchen door on the counter so that she would remember to take it up for him. She was still coming to terms that another like her had come to Nerima except she had trained so much that her powers were far stronger than Ranma's, also unlike Ranma she hated her demonic parent, he had raped her mother when she was leaving the demon nether world, causing her so much trauma that she had to use her human mother as an avatar so that she could recover and give birth to her, before leaving her to have a 'normal' life, best of it was she had contaminated her mother so now her two siblings had some demonic blood in their veins and it showed, with Akane it was her strength and with Nabiki it was her dark soul. However, Kasumi knew she was even more demonic than both her sisters combined.
Lunch…
Kasumi approached the school gates and checked to make sure no one was watching her, before leaping over the gate and approaching the base of a tree where she saw Ranma searching his pack intently, no doubt searching for lunch.
"Looking for this Ranma?" Kasumi asked as she thrusted out his lunch, Ranma nearly leapt out of his skin at Kasumi's sudden appearance she hadn't even sensed her.
"Oh thanks, I guess I forgot it huh" Ranma said as he laughed slightly embarrassed as his hand went behind his head and he developed a slight blush. Kasumi chuckled at this. "So…how did you do that?" Ranma asked, before noticing Kasumi's confused look "Sneak up on me, I didn't even sense you…and what is it about you that I find so intriguing?" Ranma asked, getting tired of those questions flying around his head, so he had thought what better way to find out than from the horses mouth.
Kasumi let out a sigh "I guess I really did a good job when it came to hiding it in my aura, Ranma Tsa" Kasumi replied, shocking Ranma that she had used his mothers name when addressing him "You're not the only half-demon you know" Kasumi stated, averting her gaze.
"What! You mean you're a…" Ranma froze shocked beyond belief as he stared at Kasumi's eyes.
"Half Demon, yes, my father, my true biological father was…is Tchang Zu the thunder demon" Kasumi said, as she raised and extended her palm to Ranma as small electrical bolts sparked in her hand and her mouth opened slightly to reveal her fangs, she then closed her eyes, her fangs became blunt again, the sparks stopped and when she opened her eyes again they had returned to their natural colour.
A/N Well this chapter is certainly longer than the last one, hope you guys like it and I do not intend to give Ranma a harem in this, however, his fiancés will start showing up as will his rivals.
