CHAPTER 13

-"RAN'S DIARY, PART I"-

Ran was having a good time with the Tendos and Saotomes, but most of all, with Ranma and Akane. Akane was like a sister to her, even though in the beginning she was 'bad', later she changed and she is a cool girl. Ranma, is, well, the person who Ran likes the best. Why? Nobody, not even Ran, knows.

Ran later bought a book in a store…a diary...Ran began to write about all her good times, as well as the bad ones…

Tendo Dojo 9:30 PM.

Ran is in her bedroom, writing in her diary:

Dear Diary:

I'm having a blast here with Ranma and Akane. They're such cool people to hang with.

Kasumi… the oldest of the three, she is the nicest woman that I have ever met. She's always calm at everything, and, she never loses her patience, no matter how ugly the situation is. She's truly impressive. She acts like a mother, friend, confidant…any man who marries her, will be the luckiest guy in the whole world.

Nabiki… the second of the three sisters…well, what can I say about her…she is indeed a special person, she loves money, and, the way she gets it. In the beginning, I was like, mad at her, for the way she obtained it, I thought at first that it was for her own, but later I found out that all the money that she earns, goes for her family, for the repairs the house gets, courtesy of Ranma's "friends"-. She, like Kasumi, takes care of her family, by providing money, weird world isn't it?

Both Kasumi and Nabiki, are the ones who take care of everything around the house. At a young age, they act with the responsibility and duties of adults.

Akane…the youngest of them all…at first, she was a like a spoiled brat, who though she knew Martial Arts, and she had a lot of vanity in her, but, she changed, like anyone can, now, she is a great friend.

Mr. Tendo and Mr. Saotome…those guys are funny. Soun, even though he's an adult, he acts like a child, and cries a lot, but, when he's angry, watch out!

Mr. Saotome…like Soun, he too acts like a child, but boy, he's a snickering fellow, when he fights against Ranma, he tries to cheat, but, he fails to do so. And, he eats a lot. No wonder he's fat.

Ranma…he's the coolest guy I have ever met…

He's the reason I came to Nerima in the first place…why, that's the mystery I have. I really don't know why I came here, but I came looking for Ranma. But that doesn't really matter now, I'm very happy with my life here and I wouldn't change it for anything.

Lately, I've being having some strange, but very, strange dreams. They really scare me, because they keep telling me to kill my friend Ranma over and over again. But, I won't do it; I know I can overcome that. I mean, they're only dreams, right?

And, I met a really annoying boy called Ryoga. Boy, he's really a pain in the butt. He's always cursing Ranma for everything in his life…He blames him for his lost senses, for his Jusenkyo curse, for everything. I'm not surprised he doesn't blame him for the bad weather, ha ha haaa! But, what he did with those poor children was unforgivable, I mean, attacking little children is, well, I can't find any words for it. But I taught him a lesson, hope he doesn't come soon.

And I've met Ranma's Mom, Mrs. Saotome. When I learned that she was coming for a visit, I thought, "Oh goody, now I'll be able to meet Ranma's mom! Hope she's a nice lady, and I hope that she doesn't look like his father!" Oh, the horror, the horror! But, I had to wait and see her for myself. And you know what? She is a nice lady, and a very heartwarming, loving, and peaceful woman. She treats me like a daughter, for which I'm very grateful to her. I wonder if my own mother were like that.

But, Ranma is something else. I mean, we have so much in common, we both love martial arts, we both love to eat the same food, we have so much in common that is so scary, it's like, we are one and the same, creepy. I don't know why, but, I feel a big connection to him, like a…brother and sister, but deeper, I know I love him, but, it's not that kind of 'love'. But then, why is that? Maybe I'll let it over; I don't want to ruin it.

I've met a weird girl with purple hair who Akane calls –"Shampoo"-. It sounds more like a hair product than a name. Akane says she's a Chinese Amazon. Boy, I though that the Amazons would be like the ones on T.V –(Xena-Warrior Princess)-. but, I was wrong.

Next is a crazy guy called Kuno Tatewaki…he's a moron who thinks of himself as a noble Samurai, and he believes himself to be a "Gift" to girls. If you ask me, he's a jerk, and a delusional moron. I mean, he's always trying to grab me and hug me, always calling me his –"Pig-Tailed Girl"-, and calling my buddy Ranma a –"Foul Sorcerer"-. If that's not crazy, that I don't know what is.

I also meet a crazy girl called Kodachi Kuno, who's Kuno's sister. She's a Gymnastics girl who attends a Private Girls School at Saint Hebereke. Like her brother, she's a jerk and a pest, she always pesters Ranma and me, claiming that I would 'steal' her Ranma-darling, and she always carries black roses. And her laugh ugh…it's a real pain.

Then, there's the Principal of our School, now that's another weird person who maybe takes the cake. He's always dressed like if he was in Hawaii. Come on, he's wearing a Hawaiian Shirt, shorts, and to top it all, he has a little pineapple tree on his head. Truly, he's a weird and creepy Principal.

Later, I found out that the jerk Kuno and that weird Kodachi are actually the 'son' and the 'daughter' of the Principal of the School. I was like shocked. You know what they say…-"Like Father, like son and daughter"-…All one crazy family.

Our teacher is something of a weird person…Miss. Hinako. We have a child as a teacher, but, even though she may look as a child, she is indeed a woman –(or so I think)-. When someone is breaking the rules in her classroom, she takes out a little golden coin, yells an incantation, then drains the person's battle aura, then, she grows into an adult version of herself.

She always called them 'delinquent' to those who don't pay attention in her class and punishes them. She may have weird methods to do those things, but she is indeed a good teacher. She wants to teach us and give us an education, and, a little 'iron hand' from her is not a bad idea for those who want to 'goof up' at school.

I wonder what new adventures, or what new challenges will come for Ranma and me?

I guess I'll have to wait and see.
