Getting Back At the Ex's
Kotonoha sighed as the day came to an end. Today was her first day back after her near suicide attempt and so far, she was not having a good day. Everywhere she went, people were trying to rub her face in the fact that almost all of the girls in school had slept with her ex. Sekai was the worst.
She strutted around the campus with Makoto on her arm like she had won the lottery. Smiling, giggling, and giving Kotonoha the evil smirk. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She had her own ace up her sleeve today. Just as she was thinking this, Makoto walked up to her. She glared at the man she had once loved and who had broken her heart.
"Um, Kotonoha-chan..." He started to say, only for her to turn her head and 'humph' at him.
"Listen, Kotonoha-chan, I'm really sorry for what happened between us..." He tried to say again only for Kotonoha to cut him off.
"I have nothing to say to you, Itou-san." She said, not even bothering to look at him. Makoto winced at the tone of voice.
"Look, I never intended..."
"Save it, Itou-san." She said again. Makoto winced again, and before he could say anything else, his new girlfriend, Sekai, walked over to the two of them with Kotonoha's old tormentor, Otome, in tow.
"Hello, Katsura-san." The two of them said in overly friendly tones. Kotonoha glared at the two of them, not feeling in the mood to put up with these two who Makoto cheated on her with.
"Hello Saionji-san, Katou-san." She said, in a tone of voice that shocked the two of them. They shrugged it off as Sekai went over to Makoto and kissed his cheek as she snuggled his arm.
"Hey Makoto-kun." She said in a seductive tone of voice. Otome glared at the two of them and shrugged it off as she went back to her favorite past time and stress reliever of forcing her will on Kotonoha.
"So, Katsura-san, I know you're in a bad place emotionally, but we really need you to help with..."
"Unfortunately," Kotonoha said, cutting her tormentor off. "I actually have plans today. So whatever you need, I'm afraid you'll have to do it yourself today."
All three of them were caught off guard by this sudden outburst.
"Huh?" Otome said. "Wh-what do you mean, you have plans today?"
Kotonoha fought back the erg to grin at the next words that she was going to say.
"Well," She said. "If you must know, I have a date today with my NEW boyfriend."
"WHAT!?" Everyone who heard her exclaimed. New boyfriend?
"What new boyfriend?" Otome and Sekai said at the same time.
"Who would want to go out with you?" Otome shouted out loud.
"Hey!" Makoto said, feeling like his old friend went too far.
"Seriously though, you have a new boyfriend?" Sekai said, not sure how to feel about that, but feeling as though her victory was slightly deflated.
"Yes. Yes I do." Was all the busty beauty would say. Makoto felt a pang of guilt strike his heart at hearing this. He lost Kotonoha and now she had a new lover all because he couldn't control his lust.
"So, who is he?" Makoto asked. Kotonoha smirked inwardly at this, time to play Ranma up big.
"Well," She started to say. "If you must know, Itou-san, he is a kind sweet man. He's strong, manly, cute, sweet, caring and a far better man than you will ever be."
'Well, damn that could be just about anybody.' Makoto thought to himself.
"HEY! KOTO-CHAN! YOU THERE!" Came a voice that caught everyone off guard.
"Huh?" Kotonoha said as she ran over to the window and looked down to see none other than Ranma, looking up at her and waving his hand.
"YO! KOTO-CHAN!" Ranma said, smiling at his fake girlfriend.
"Ranma-kun!" Kotonoha said in genuinely happy to see the man who saved her life.
"What are you doing here?" She called down to him as Makoto, Sekai and Otome and a few others came to the window to see Kotonoha's new boyfriend.
"What!? A guy can't swing by to say hi to his new girlfriend!?" Ranma said. This made Kotonoha blush, even though she knew Ranma was just saying things to make himself look like a good boyfriend.
A few of the other girls 'awed' and blushed at Ranma's words while the guys all wondered who this new guy was and how he managed to hook one of the hottest girls in school.
"Hold on! I'll be right down!" She said as she was about to head back into the classroom.
"Don't bother!" Ranma called back. "I'll be right up!"
And to the shock of everyone who was watching, Ranma took one big leap and propelled himself up onto the windowsill.
"Hi." He said as they all jumped back in shock.
"What? You guys act like you've never seen someone jump that high before." He said with a tilt of his head. Kotonoha got control of herself again. She had seen Ranma blast energy out of his hands why should this surprise her?
"H-hi Ranma-kun." Kotonoha said with a blush on her face. Ranma smiled at her.
"Yo beautiful." He said as he jumped into the classroom.
"Who is that guy?" One of the students asked.
"I don't know. But what is he wearing!?" Another asked.
"Wow! He's kind of cute." Said another girl as she unbuttoned a few buttons on her shirt. Otome and Sekai both gaped at the new guy who just litterally jumped into their class room. He was even more handsome than Makoto!
'HOW IN THE HELL DID KATSURA GET HIM!?" They both thought at the same time. Makoto looked at the newcomer and couldn't help but feel jealous. This guy looked like some manga hero in real life, and he could jump like one too.
"Ranma-kun," Kotonoha whispered into his ear. "You didn't have to come all the way here to my school and jump into my class room."
"I know," He whispered back. "But I thought it would be a very romantic boyfriend like thing to do. Plus, I wanted those people you told me about to see the new model of boyfriend you got in exchange for that cheater."
That last part made Kotonoha giggle a little at that last part. Ranma smiled at the way she giggled.
'Cool it Ranma, you're not really her boyfriend.' He thought to himself. He then looked behind Kotonoha and saw three people that instantly made him feel nothing but hate.
"Let me guess, that pretty boy over there with those two girls is your ex right?" He asked her. She looked behind her shoulder and nodded.
"Yep, that's him."
"Say no more." Ranma said as and walked over to Makoto Sekai and Otome. And for some reason, all three of them had the sudden urge to gulp.
"Hey," Ranma said as he stopped in front of the would-be playboy.
"Are you the son of a gun who cheated on my girlfriend over there?" He asked, fire in his eyes. Makoto gulped.
"Um...yeah?" He said, feeling fear like he had never felt before. But to his surprise, Ranma cracked a smile and held his hand out to him.
"Nice to meet cha." Ranma said. Makoto let his guard down and went to shake Ranma's hand.
"Uh, yeah..." But before the playboy could shake Ranma's hand, Ranma had punched Makoto so hard he went right through the opposite wall of the room.
"That's for cheating on her like that you bastard." Ranma said, venom dripping from his voice.
Kotonoha gasped as she saw her fake boyfriend send her ex-boyfriend flying with a single punch. The rest of the students all had their jaws drop straight to the floor. Sekai and Otome felt their hearts stop at seeing the object of their affections being sent right into the outside hallway.
"MAKOTO-KUN!" They both screamed. Otome was so angry she marched right up to Ranma.
"HEY! What's the big idea!? You may be that bitch Katsura's new boy toy, but that doesn't give you the right to go knocking Makoto-kun into next week! Just who the hell do you think you are!?" She asked in fury. But her fury was met with a cold stare from Ranma. After Akane, this little scrawny-ass bitch was nothing.
"Quick question: Are you one of those bitches that, THAT son of a bitch cheated on Koto-chan with?" Ranma asked. Otome was about to shoot another remark at Ranma, but there was something about that look he was giving her. It was a look that promised pain. This was emphasized by Ranma cracking his knuckles and neck as he waited for an answer.
"*Gulp* Um...No! No, no, no, no. That wasn't me, it was her! It was her, her, HER!" The frightened girl said, pushing Sekai in front of the angry looking martial artist.
"So, you're the back stabber, huh?" He said more than asked. Sekai felt the cold grip of fear taking her over.
"Um...no?" She said as innocently as she could. Ranma narrowed his eyes.
"You're lying." He said with a growl. Sekai backed up a bit as she gulped.
"Y-you wouldn't hit a girl...would you?" She asked in fear.
"A girl, no." Ranma said with a creepy smile that looked way too innocent and sweet. And then...he gave Sekai an uppercut that sent her crashing headfirst into the ceiling. Kotonoha, Otome and the rest of the students freaked as they saw Sekai, head stuck in the ceiling and her legs swinging limply to and fro.
"But a back stabbing, two timing bitch like you who goes around breaking her so-called friends' hearts...definitely!" Ranma said as he blew imaginary dust off of his knuckles.
Kotonoha gazed at Ranma with wide eyes. Why would he do that!? Sure, she enjoyed seeing the two people that hurt her the most get what they deserved, but did he REALLY need to go that far!? Of course, there was a small part of her that was drooling at seeing Ranma do such things.
'He...he's perfect...' A small demented but love-struck voice in the back of her head had said. Kotonoha shook her head to get the voice of her yandere side out of her head. Ranma was only doing what any good friend would have done. But that was when she saw Ranma's body start to glow red.
'Uh oh...' She thought as Ranma stared back at Otome and the other students.
"And as for the rest of you jerks." Ranma said as he glared at the other students. "Just how many of the rest of you creeps either slept with that jackass or hurt Kotonoha in any way? HUH!?"
Otome ran behind her posy of friends, shaking like a leaf in the wind. Just who was this guy!? Was he some kind of monster. No human should be able to knock other people around like that.
"J-Just who or WHAT are you!?" She asked in fear. Ranma grinned as he came closer to them.
"I'm the freaking demon of Nerima, bitch." Ranma said. That made all of the students run to the back of the classroom. All huddled together in a heap.
"N-N-NERIMA!" They all said in shock.
"You mean the land of the freaks and weirdos!?" One of them said. Ranma started taking a few steps towards the group.
"You better believe it buster. And I'm the worst of the whole bunch!" Ranma said, his battle aura flaring up like a crimson inferno.
"Now listen up, ass wipes. I know quite a few of you idiots caused trouble for my girl Kotonoha, and I. Want. NAMES!"
"Ranma-kun!" Came Kotonoha's voice.
Ranma's aura dissipated as he and the group of frightened students all turned to see Kotonoha giving Ranma a very stern look.
"No!" She said, waving her index finger in a disapproving manner.
"But..." Ranma tried to say, only for Kotonoha to cut him off again.
"No!" She said. "Nooo...NO!" She said, waving her finger. Ranma blew some hair out of his eyes as he decided to admit defeat, just this once.
"You guys are lucky she's a forgiving angel." He said to the gathered students.
"Ranma-kun," Kotonoha whispered in the pigtailed boy's ear. "While I appreciate you knocking Makoto and Sekai around like rag dolls, don't you think you're over doing it a little bit?" Ranma shrugged his shoulders.
"Sorry," He whispered back. "I got a little carried away. But I just couldn't stand all those things you told me these creeps put you through. So I decided to scare them a little bit. Besides, if your cheating ex really did sleep around, wouldn't you like to see his "sex toys" get a little shaken up?"
Kotonoha had to admit, she did enjoy seeing them spooked a little bit. But enough was enough.
"I appreciate it Ranma-kun, I really do. But I think you've scared them enough." She said. "Believe me, I don't think they'll bother me ever again." Ranma smiled at that comment.
"Then my work is done. Now then, shall we head to Nerima and get back at my ex next? I think it's your turn to have a little fun."
Kotonoha smiled at Ranma. Somehow, Ranma seemed to be able to make her smile. And to be honest, making someone else jealous did sound like it would be fun.
"Ok." She said. Ranma flashed another smile and waved over to her to the window.
"Shall we be on our way, my dear?" He said, with an extravagant bow. Kotonoha giggled at the way Ranma was acting.
"Ok Ranma-kun." She said as she started for the door only for Ranma to stop her in her tracks.
"Where are you going?" He asked in confusion. Kotonoha looked at him with an equally confused look.
"Um, the door out of the classroom. How else do you expect me to get out of school?" Ranma grinned at that.
"The same way I came in, the window," Ranma said like it was the simplest thing in the world. But for Kotonoha...
"EH!?" She said in shock. Suddenly, Ranma scooped her up in his arms and she had to clutch at her bag to keep from losing it.
"R-Ranma-kun!? What are you doing!?" She asked as her arms found their way around his neck.
"Thank you for flying Air Ranma, please, we ask that you keep your hands and feet inside the cockpit at all times and please, whatever you do, keep a firm hold of the pilot and don't let go."
With that, Ranma took off for the window. Kotonoha started freaking out. First he stopped her from jumping off a bridge, NOW he's going to jump with her out of a window!?
"Ranma-kun! Please! WAIT! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kotonoha screamed as Ranma jumped out of the window and flipped a few times before landing on the ground as gracefully as a cat.
"Oh, and one last thing, don't scream in my ears." Ranma said as he looked at the scared stiff girl in his arms. Her eyes were wide as saucers and her hair was thrown all over the place and a look of sheer terror on her face. Ranma waved his left and in front of her face and snapped his fingers.
"Hello. Anyone in there?" He said. Kotonoha blinked her eyes and slowly came back to her senses. She looked around, seeing that they were indeed alive and on solid ground.
"Ranma-kun," She said. "Don't EVER do that again. Please?" She said pleadingly. Ranma chuckled sheepishly.
"Eh, ok. Sorry about that." He said. "Ok. But hold on tight, I'm going to run and roof hop us to Nerima." Kotonoha started to freak again.
"C-can't we just take the train?" She asked. Ranma looked at her and smiled.
"We could. Be this way is faster. And more fun. Trust me."
And with that, Ranma took off at speeds close to the speed of sound and headed towards Nerima. Kotonoha screamed and panicked at first, but as they continued on, she started to feel less scared. In fact, this was starting to feel like an amusement park ride. She started to smile, then laughed as she let out a cry of joy and excitement. Ranma couldn't help but smile himself.
"That's the spirit. Just pretend you're Mary Jane and I'm Spider-Man taking you out for a joy ride." He said as he bounded for Nerima.
After a few more minutes, they arrived and Ranma put Kotonoha back on the ground, only for her to fall back into his arms, her legs feeling like jello. Ranma chuckled at that.
"First timers. This always happens to them." He said as he helped Kotonoha to steady herself. Kotonoha blushed at how close Ranma was but tried to shake it off and stand on her own two feet.
"Um...Thank you Ranma-kun." She said, finally getting the feeling back into her legs.
"Good." Ranma said. After letting her go, something that for some reason he really didn't feel like doing for some reason, he looked around until he found what, or rather who, he was looking for.
"There she is." Ranma said as he pulled Kotonoha out of the streets.
"That person over there with the bob cut is Akane." He said.
Kotonoha looked to where he was pointing and saw the girl that broke her new friends' heart. Despite what Ranma had said, she had to admit that Akane didn't look as 'uncute' as Ranma had described her. She was slightly less attractive than Sekai, had a fit build, but she did seem to have that constant scowl that Ranma told her about.
The girl was talking to some other girls who she assumed were her friends, and she was throwing her hands in the air as if she were arguing with them for something. Seeing the red flush of anger on the other girl's face, Kotonoha was starting to feel a little afraid of continuing with their plan.
"Um, maybe this is a bad idea." She said. Ranma however, kept grinning.
"Don't worry, if she tries anything I'll protect you." Kotonoha blushed again at that.
"Now, let's make her heart stop." Ranma said as he looked at Kotonoha and tried to straighten out her outfit, making the poor girl blush even more.
"W-W-W-What are you doing!?" She said.
"Just making you look a little more less like you've just been through a wind tunnel." Ranma answered as he finished up.
"There. Ready?" He asked as he presented his arm to the girl. Kotonoha was about to take his arm, when a thought came to her head.
"Wait." She said, and then undid a few buttons on her shirt to show some of he cleavage. Now it was Ranma's turn to blush.
"Uh...now it's my turn to ask, what are you doing?" He said. Kotonoha tried to look away.
"Um, I...I thought maybe this would make it look more real." She said, grabbing onto Ranma's arm causing him to blush even more, while also blushing at how surprisingly toned his arm was.
"Um...ok. Then, shall we?" He asked again. She smiled and nodded.
"Yes. Let's go."
With Akane, she was fuming mad. Why? Her friends were angry at her for cheating on Ranma! She couldn't understand, Ranma hung around with his skanky sluts all the time so why was it so bad when she fools around with one of his rivals!? She wanted Ryoga at first, but he was devoted to Akari now. But still, Ryu was cute and hot. But her own friends were siding with Ranma!?
"What's the deal!? So I cheated on that womanizing bastard and he ran away, BIG DEAL!" She shouted, drawing the attention of a few passerby's.
"Akane," Her friend Sayuri said. "You keep calling Ranma a cheater, but we've never seen him actually, willingly do anything you claim he does with Shampoo, Ukyo or any other girl you claim he's flirting with."
"She's right Akane." One of her other friends chimed in. "From what I've seen, he hasn't shown any interest in anybody. And as of now, I really doubt that he'd have any feelings for you too."
Akane growled, her red aura of rage flaring out, scarring her friends and anyone around her. She started grinding her teeth as she fed the furnace of rage that she was unknowingly addicted to.
"WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU GUYS ON!?" She raved. "Ranma's the bad guy, not me! He's the reason why so many psychos keep popping up around this stupid town!"
The others started to wish Ranma was around right now. As Akane kept raving about how she was the victim, one of her friends looked to the side and her mouth dropped to the ground at what she saw.
"AND ANOTHER THING!" Akane kept going until she saw the stunned and shocked look on her friends face.
"Hey, what's your problem?" She asked.
Her friend didn't answer. She just kept starring. One by one, the other girls turned to see what she was looking at. And when they did, they saw Ranma, walking down the street...with what had to be the most BEAUTIFUL girl they had ever seen!
She had pale skin, long dark blackish-purple hair, dark maroon eyes, curvy hips...and the BIGGEST RACK they had ever seen. A rack that was currently sandwiching Ranma's right arm close to them as the girl smiling and laughing as she and him walked down the street.
Akane felt like she was about to have a heart attack. Who was THAT!? That woman looked like something out of a horny boy's fantasy.
'Those...those just CAN'T be REAL!' She thought to herself as she saw Ranma and this new slut of his walked closer to them. Ranma looked up and fought back a triumphant smirk.
"Oh, hello Tendo-san." Ranma said as he and Kotonoha stopped in front of them.
"And hello to the rest of you guys, how's it going." He looked to the other girls them back at Akane. "So, has her brain gone dead yet?"
He asked, only to see that the rest of them have similar looking reactions as the rest of them. Kotonoha was slightly worried. While Ranma hated Akane, her friends weren't really on his hit list.
"Um, are they ok Ranma-kun?" She asked. Ranma snapped his fingers in front of them and waved his hand in front of them.
"Uh...I think all of them are broken." He said. Akane snapped out of it and grabbed him by the collar.
"WHO THE FUCK IS THIS SLUT!?" She shouted loud enough for all of Nerima to hear. Ranma glared at her and put her wrist in a painful lock.
"First off, don't ever call her a slut." He said, as he put more pressure on her wrist.
"Second, her name is Kotonoha. Not that it's any of your business." He then gave a light push to send her back.
"Hello." Kotonoha said as she gave a bow. "So you're Ranma-kun's ex?"
"She was." Sayuri said as she snapped out of her stupor.
"Anyway, I just thought I'd bring my new GIRLFRIEND to my stomping grounds and show her around." He said as he wrapped his arm around Kotonoha's waist.
"Phesh, yeah right!" Akane said, wringing her wrist out. "She's just your latest...'humph!'"
She didn't get the chance to finish as one of her friends clamped their hands over Akane's mouth. She struggled to get free but to no avail.
"What Akane's trying to say is, wow Ranma, your new girlfriend is really pretty." She said, giving Kotonoha the once over several times.
"Koto-chan," Ranma said turning to said girl. "Don't be shy, introduce yourself."
Kotonoha blushed at the nickname Ranma gave her and smiled before giving another bow. She cleared her throat and smiled at the girls.
"Hello, it's nice to meet all of you. My name is Katsura Kotonoha. I'm happy to meet you." She said, then glared at Akane. "Except for you."
Akane tried to get out and strangle the big boobed girl, Ranma and Kotonoha laughed a little at the scene.
"Anyway," Ranma said, re-wrapping his arm around Kotonoha's waist. "I just thought I'd drop in and say hello. And as fun as it was catching up, I think it's time we split. Shall we head out?"
He asked to Kotonoha. She looked at him and gave a smile that could melt ice.
"Sure. It was nice meeting...most of you." She said, giving another glare at Akane. "Let's go Ranma-kun. I'm dying to see more of your hometown."
And with that, the two make-believe love birds headed off, and snickered at how well that all went. Akane finally broke free and was fuming mad.
"WHAT! THE! ACTUAL! FUCK!" She said as she punched the ground hard enough to break the concrete. Her friends backed away, feeling very scared of the angry girl at the moment.
"That girl has GOT to be some WHORE he hired just to spite me!" She screamed.
Meanwhile, Ranma and Kotonoha were hiding behind the corner of a building, watching Akane throwing her biggest hissy fit ever. Ranma had to cover his mouth and rolled away from the sight of his ex being like a child who just got told no to everything she wanted.
"Oh boy!" He said as he fell to the ground, rolling around while holding his sides.
"I knew this would be good but not this good! Ha HAAA! Oh! Call a doctor Koto-chan!" He said, laughing like he had been tickled to death. Kotonoha giggled, but more at Ranma than anything else.
"Ranma-kun," She said. "Do you think those other girls will be safe?"
Ranma tried to get back to his feet. He braced himself against the wall of the building as he walked over to the worried girl.
"Chill out Koto-chan. Akane only attacks men, people better than her at something, women who are prettier than her and me." Ranma said, getting the last of his chuckles out. Kotonoha started to get a little worried when he mentioned pretty girls until Ranma waved his hand in front of her.
"Don't worry, I wont let her get anywhere near punching or kicking distance of you." He said, standing up straight and putting a hand on her shoulder. Kotonoha gave a small smile as Ranma said these words to her.
"Arigato Ranma-kun." She said, Ranma smiled at her and stretched his arms out.
"Well, I guess we should get going." He said, taking her hand and leading her away from the sight of the bomb known as Akane. As they headed out, Kotonoha, blushing like crazy, couldn't help but look around the town.
"Um, Ranma-kun?" Kotonoha said to the pigtailed martial artist.
"Yeah?" Ranma said, stopping and turning his head to look at her.
"Um, if it's not too much trouble...do you think we could walk around your hometown?" She asked.
"Huh?" He asked. "You walk around this dump?"
"Well, I haven't really been outside of my hometown that much and I...well...I'm just curious."
Ranma thought about it for a second. He didn't really feel against taking a stroll through Nerima, and there was one place he knew he could go to get away from the fiances and show Kotonoha one of the only good parts of this hellhole town.
"Ok. In fact, I know just the hang out spot."
As they walked through the neighborhood, Ranma pointed out the few place around town that he actually liked to take a visit to. A few stores, restaurants, and a few café's that he liked to hide in to get away from certain people. And then they came upon an alley way that was filled with a daikon farm.
"Uh...why is there a daikon farm here?" She asked. Ranma smirked at her.
"Wait for it." He said smirking at her.
Before she could ask why what he meant, music started playing. She looked around trying to find the cause of the music. Then she saw lights flashing down onto what looked like the skeleton framework of a stage and three people, two men and one woman, dressed like the Blues Brothers. She gaped at this sight as the three started singing a surprisingly catchy tune. Ranma as bobbing his head and snapping his fingers in time to the beat of the song, smiling all the time.
As the song came to an end, Ranma and Kotonoha started clapping. The leader of the three looked out over the daikon field to see who was clapping and was surprised to see Ranma and some girl he hadn't seen him with before.
"Hey Ranma!" He said as he jumped down to the ground and walked over to the two. He was about to say something but was cut off when he saw the girl next to Ranma. He started turning red in the face. Though he tried his hardest, his eyes kept trailing down to the girls' huge knockers.
"Uh...whoa..." He said. The girl tilted her head at the bug eyed look on the blonde man's face.
"Hey Hideki. I see being married hasn't stopped you from keeping after your dream of performing music." Ranma said, getting the man's attention back on track.
"Oh, uh, well...you know me man. Music is my passion. So, aren't you going to introduce me and the others to your new girlfriend here." Hideki asked, causing the two teens blush.
"Well, this is Kotonoha. And, well, we just started dating." He said. "I'm assuming your wife Yukika told you about what happened with Akane?" Ranma said. Hideki nodded.
"Yeah, I'm really sorry for ya my brother. But it looks like you got a much better-looking girl in exchange." Hideki said with a smirk. Kotonoha blushed at his words while Ranma scratched the back of his head.
"Um, so, how are the other guys doing?" Ranm asked. Hideki smiled sheepishly as he scratched his own head.
"Um, well, you see..."
And as if to answer his question, the sound of a girl crying her heart out could be heard coming from the stage. The three looked to the stage a saw a pink haired girl, close in age to Ranma and Kotonoha, crying and stuffing her face with ice cream.
"WHY!?" She said as she kept eating ice cream. "Why did Ranma-kun have to meet some tramp with boobs bigger than her head?"
"Bigger than your IQ too." Said the other male.
Seeing the two on stage converse made Ranma smile. He was happy to see that some things never changed. He smiled and turned back to Hideki.
"Same as always I see." Ranma said. Hideki scratched the back of his head.
"Pretty much." Said the blonde. "So, you FINALLY got yourself a new girl uh? Well, if you ask me it's about time you got rid of those other creeps."
Ranma was about to say something, but Kotonoha spoke up.
"Um, Ranma-kun." She said. "Who are these people? And how do you know them?"
Ranma scratched his head and chuckled.
"Well, Koto-chan, this is Hideki, the pink haired girl on the stage stuffing herself with ice cream is his cousin Mako, and the pretty boy who looks tired all the time is Ichiro." Ranam said as he waved his hand to the three in question.
"They're an up and coming music group called the Nerima Daidon Brothers. Sometimes when Akane would knock me out of the house I'd end up here and listen to their music."
"Yeah, and sometimes we'd treat him to dinner. Believe it or not, this guy actually helped me to get married." Hideki said.
"He'd still be single if not for Ranma." Said Ichiro as he jumped down from the stage.
"Hello, I'm Ichiro." He said introducing himself to Kotonoha. She blushed a little and bowed to him.
"It's nice to meet you, Ichiro-san." She said. Suddenly, Mako zoomed in and stood between Kotonoha and Ichiro.
"Stand back Boobzilla! You already took Ranma-kun, don't even THINK about stealing MY Ichiro form me!" She cried out, making Kotonoha jump back in shock.
"Boob...zilla?" She asked then looked down at her breasts.
"Ranma-kun, are they really that big?" She asked as she propped up her breasts. Ranma and Hideki both blushed as they looked at the bouncing oppai.
"Um...yeah they kind of are." Ranma said. "But, um...they're very nice." He said, then blushed like mad when Mako grabbed at Kotonoha's breasts.
"These stupid things can't POSSIBLY be real! They have to be fake! Pads or implants or SOMETHING!" She screamed as she fondled the blushing woman's breasts. Kotonoha eeped and screamed as she was assaulted by the pink haired girls angry groping. Ranma blushed as red as his shirt and did the only thing he could...hit Mako over the head.
"CUT THAT OUT MAKO!" Ranma said, yanking the pink haired girl away from poor Kotonoha. "Just because your jealous of Koto-chan being younger and more developed than you, that doesn't mean you can go about grouping her like that."
"Yeah, that's her boyfriends' job." Ichiro said, looking as if he didn't care. Ranma and Kotonoha blushed at that.
"Uh! B-but we're not..." Kotonoha started.
"Uh, not THAT far into our relationship." Ranma said, covering her mouth and before she could reveal their scheme. Hideki chuckled at that.
"Heh heh. Deciding not to rush this one eh Ranma? Smart move." Said Hideki, not noticing the nervous look on Ranma's face.
"Well, uh, anyway," Ranma said after calming down from the near exposure. "Uh, I was wondering if you guys would be kind enough to give me and Koto-chan here a few numbers?"
"Hmm." Hideki thought as he stroked his chin. "I don't know, what do you think guys?" He asked, looking towards his bandmates.
"Hmph!" Mako said, jealously still evident in her voice. "I don't care." She said, crossing her arms.
"I'm game." Ichiro said.
"Well, take a seat by the front row and get ready for a rockin' good show!" Hideki said with a smile. Ranma smiled and led Kotonoha to the stage. As they got to the stage, a small panka wearing a fedora popped out of nowhere and landed on Kotonoha's lap.
"Mew!" It said as it opened it's arms as if expecting a hug. Ranma just shook his head at the panda but Kotonoha...
"AW! KAWAII!" She gushed as she picked up the panda and hugged it. "SOOOOO CUTE! Who is this little guy!? He's adorable!"
Ranma chuckled at his fake girlfriend. She was just like any other girl, a sucker for cute things.
"That's Pandaikon. He's kind of the band's mascot." Ranma said as he watched Kotonoha snuggle with the fedoraed panda. After another few seconds, music started playing as the three singers started to sing another numbers.
After three more songs, Ranma and Kotonoha were clapping and applauding for the band. As they were, a bicycle with a cop siren came flying into the daikon field. And on that bike was none other than Yukika.
"Alright Hideki, it's time to come hooooooooommeeee...HUH!?" She cut herself off as her eyes landed on Ranma and Kotonoha. Or rather, on Kotonoha who was snuggling Pandadaikon.
"Oh, hey Yukika, what's up?" Ranma asked. Yukika had to shake her head to clear it of the shock of seeing Kotonoha's breasts.
"Oh, uh...hey Ranma...So, uh...who is this...young girl?" She asked, shock still evident on her face. Ranma smirked and shook his own head.
"Well, this is Katsura Kotonoha, and she is my new girlfriend." He said as Kotonoha smiled sheepishly and waved at the bicycle riding policewoman.
"Oh well, nice to meet...I'm sorry, WHAT!?" Yukika said as she felt like she had just heard that Jesus had returned from Heaven.
"You heard me." Ranma said. But then he got right in Yukika's face, a stern look on his face. "And if you tell my mother about this, I swear I'll make you pay for it. Got it police babe?"
Yukika was shocked by Ranma's outburst but shook it off as she gave Ranma her own death glare.
"Watch who you're talking to, hot shot." She said, glaring back. But before the two could keep their glaring match going, Kotonoha and Hideki pulled them apart.
"Now now you two." Hideki said. "Let's not turn this into a mess, ok?"
Kotonoha nodded.
"Please Ranma-kun, I don't want to see you get arrested." She pleaded. Ranma had to look away to keep from blushing at how cute and adorable her face looked when she pleaded.
"Oh, alright." He said. "But Widget, just promise me that you wont tell my mom about this, ok?"
Yukika took a deep breath to calm herself down as her husband kept her away from the pigtailed boy and his fake girlfriend.
"Very well." She said. "But I have a few questions." Ranma groaned.
"Like what?" He asked.
"Are those things even real?" She asked, pointing towards Kotonoha's J-cup sized breasts. Kotonoha shrunk back and attempted to cover her breasts. Ranma blushed as he tried not to look at his fake girlfriend.
"Um...ye...yes they are." Kotonoha said as she tried to cover her blushing face with her hair and trying to hide behind Ranma.
"Any other questions that I might have to hit you for?" Ranma asked. But before Yukika could get mad at him and attack, Hideki pulled her back.
"Um, let's all just calm down." He said.
"Here's a better idea, how about you just get lost little miss over the hedge Idget!" Mako said, which caused her to get punched straight into the ground by Yukika.
"Watch it you bimbo!" She screamed. Ranma chuckled as he watched the scene.
"Well, I brought you here for a music show, but it looks like we get to see a fight too." He said. He felt Kotonoha tried to hide herself in his back.
"Ranma-kun, can't you stop them? I don't want to see two people fight like this." She said, tears threatening to well up in her eyes. Ranma started to feel queasy. He hated seeing a cute girl cry like this.
"Oh, don't worry, they never actually hurt eah other. It's more like, two sisters fighting it out." He said, trying to calm her down.
"Both are retards if you ask me." Ichiro said, really not caring for the argument going on between the two girls in question.
"Boy, you have almost no soul sometimes don't you?" Ranma asked the blue wearing man. He looked up and saw the sun going down and sighed.
"Actually Koto-chan, maybe it is time I get you home." He said. Kotonoha looked up at the sky and nodded.
"Um, yeah. We really should be going." She turned to face Hideki and Ichiro.
"Thank you so much for your hospitality." She said with a bow, causing Hideki to blush and Ichiro to reply with...
"No problem."
As Kotonoha turned back to Ranma she couldn't help but blush.
"So, uh...are we roof hoping again?" She asked, trying hard to hide her smile. Ranma smirked.
"Well, it is the best and fastest way to travel." He said as he picked her up bridal style.
"See ya around guys!" He said as he took off, Kotonoha crying out in delight as the wind rushed past them as Ranma hopped from one place to the next.
"Nice girl, don't you think Ichirou?" Hideki asked his friend.
"Better than most of the women we know." Was all Ichirou said before he headed back to the stage to take a nap. Hideki shook his head as he went back to break up the fight between his cousin and wife.
Back with Ranma and Kotonoha, the two teens couldn't help but smile for different reasons. Ranma was smiling because of how Akane looked when she saw him with Kotonoha and about how he got back at Kotonoha's ex and his cheating skanks. As for Kotonoha, she was enjoying the feeling of soaring through the sky in Ranma's arms. The view from up so high up was beautiful. She could understand why Ranma liked jumping from roof top to roof top so much.
Ranma stole a few glances at Kotonoha as he jumped towards her house. He couldn't help but smile at her. She really did have a cute smile. He still couldn't wrap his head around why anyone would want to cheat on someone like Kotonoha. He couldn't help but smile at her. In a crazy way, he had to thank Akane, because if she hadn't have cheated on him, he would never have found and save Kotonoha.
"There's my house." Kotonoha said as she pointed out her home. Ranma looked to where she was pointing and headed for it. For some reason, he really didn't like that their trip back ended so soon. He shook his head to get rid of those thoughts and headed for the front door of Kotonoha's home.
"Well, here we are. Thank you for flying Air Ranma, please tell your friends about your experience." Ranma said, in a joking tone that made Kotonoha laugh.
"I'm not sure they'd they like it that much Ranma-kun." She said as she smoothed out her clothes. Ranma scratched the back of his head. Why did this chick have to be gosh darn cute?
"You know," Kotonoha said, looking at Ranma with a slight blush. "This almost felt like we were on a real date."
That got Ranma to chuckle sheepishly.
"Uh, heh heh. Yeah, uh, I guess huh?" Ranma said. "So, uh, should we plan a second fake date sometime?"
Kotonoha turned away so he wouldn't see her face turning several shades redder.
"Well, um, if you want to. I mean, if you think we should." She said, rocking on her heels. Ranma rubbed his arm.
"Well, maybe...Hey! Here's an idea! Let's find out where Makoto and his cheating skank of a girlfriend are going on their next date, then we can pop in and act lovey dovey around them and make them seething mad." Ranma suggested. Kotonoha thought about that. It seemed like a good idea, but it also sounded kind of mean. But on the other hand, those two have it coming.
"Sure, why not? I'll keep an ear open at school and I'll give you a call. OH! Do you have a phone Ranma-kun?" She asked. Ranma was about to say no, but then he remembered that his mom got him one after she and he moved out of the Tendo home.
After exchanging numbers, Ranma was caught off guard as Kotonoha wrapped her arms around him in a big hug. Ranma blushed as red as his shirt and did his best to hide his face as she pulled away.
"I'll call you when I know something. Goodbye Ranma-kun." She kissed his cheek and went into her house. Ranma just stood there. Face beat red and his whole-body frozen stiff. He shook his head and started moving away from Kotonoha's house.
"Shake it off Ranma. Shake it off." He said to himself. He shook off his body and started roof hopping away. As he got back to the hotel he and his mom where staying at, he saw a note on the door to their room.
Dear Ranma, I'm going out to eat with some of my old girlfriends of mine. I'll be home later. Their's food in the fridge, love you. Love mom.
"Heh, well, I shouldn't be the only one to have fun around here." Ranma said as he went inside.
Meanwhile, Nodoka was hugging her old friend Yukika.
"Oh, I'm so happy we get to do this again Yukika!" Nodoka said as she and her oldest friend walked into a restaurant. Yukika huged her back as she smiled.
"I'm happy to see you too Nodoka. We really shouldn't have waited this long to get together again." She said as the two went to the patio for their dinner.
"So, why call me up at this time of the night for a little girls night out?" Nodoka asked as they sat down. Yukika took out a note pad and pen and started writing something down as she answered her friend.
"Well, I happen to know a little secret that your son is keeping from you?" Yukika said in a smug sing-song type voice. Nodoka nearly jumped out of her seat at hearing this.
"Oh really?" She said, narrowing her eyes at the red head. "Like what exactly?"
"Oh, sorry No-chan, but I swore an oath that I wouldn't say a word about it." Yukika said before ripping a sheet of paper from her notebook.
"Here, read this." She said as she handed Nodoka a slip of paper. When Nodoka took it, she noticed that Yukika had also handed her a photo that was flipped so the picture couldn't be seen. She read the note and her eyes widened.
Ranma has a new girlfriend. Was all it said.
"Huh...!?" She said, Yukika just took a sip of her tea and pointed to the photo. Nodoka flipped the paper around and gasped as her eyes fell upon Katsura Kotonoha.
"GOOD GOD THOSE THINGS ARE HUGE!"
