This might contain things that are unsuitable for people under the age of 17.
One person I want to thank is Jim Bader, for all of his fanfiction he wrote because if I had not read that his series Nabiki ½, Jedi Kasumi, A Very Scary Thought, and A Tale of Two Wallets along with all the side stories. His stories got me in the mood to write my own. If it was not for his many artworks this crayon drew picture would not have been made.
----------------------{Akimoto House}
Akira awoke to what he felt the house shake.
’That sounds like electric energy waves,’ he thought ‘wait a sec it coming from’ “OH KAMI-SAMA,” Akira shouted as he rose out of his bed with inhuman speeds.
His parents’ room door had been blown open with what looked like odd burns in place of where the door was. He slowed his speed when he stepped into room fearing the worst. There was a firefighter, ax in hand, standing over his mother’s and father’s futons.
“WHAT IN THE NINE RINGS OF HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?” Akira shouted with all of the hatred of his heart.
The firefighter turned around and it had a water hose resting in his hands. “You’re to late boy, and now you are going to suffer for the rest of your life,” a male voice said coming from behind the firefighter’s mask. The last thing Akira saw was water rushing out of the hose at speeds that it seemed solid.
"Hey kid wake up," a male voice said full of concern. Akira's eyes slowly began to open.
"What time is it? Where am I? And what are you doing here Ranma?" Akira asked as he saw a red shirt.
"Sorry but you must have me confused with someone, it’s ten in the morning on a Saturday, and you are at the Akimoto House where a hot water heater blown up last night, I am surprised you're alive. What your name kid?" He stated.
"Its Akimoto Akira, wait my parents where are they?" He almost yelled.
"Well ummmm....kid I hate to sa," he started but was interrupted
"Oh Kami-SAMA no....their dead aren't they?" Akira said with the cold fear in the pit of his stomach.
"Hai kid they are, their bodies were completely destroyed in the explosion, let's get you up and out of here and a change of your cloths are soaking wet."
Akira broke into tears as the man picked him and took him to what was his room. The man got a dry set of clothes from what would have been Akira's clothes hamper. “Well kid this is all you have left that.” The man said handing Akira a black tank top with a pair of black tie off pants. Akira took the clothes without question, and slipped them over his bruised body.
The man led him outside to where his car was. Akira looked into the sky, and there he saw his mother’s and father’s face if just for a split second. Akira gave a half smile to the man. “Well thanks if you don’t mind I am going to go for a walk.”
The man shrugged “Well kid why don’t you go get something to eat then. Here is some yen to help you get started,” the man handed Akira a few bills turned around and started to get in his car.
“Hey you gave me almost 100,000 yen that is a little much,” Akira exclaimed.
“No kid it really isn’t enough, I am just doing a favor to some people I owe my life to, I’ll explain everything when we meet again, oh and kid if you wouldn’t mind I wasn’t here,” he got in his car and drove off.
Akira just stood there for a minute going over with what happened last night, and then a few minutes later. He heard someone running up the street.
“Hello musukosan, might I ask what happened here?” A woman with shiny gray hair asked.
“Ummm my family’s water heater blew up last night,” Akira said not really wanting to continue the conversion.
“Well musukosan, I doubt that you want to deal the police, do you?” the shiny haired woman said, “You look like you need something to eat.”
“Hai I am, but I am not in the mood to eat,” Akira said forlornly.
“Well musukosan, do you know where your going to stay now that you are homeless?” She asked maintaining a kind tone.
“I don’t know yet ma’am, my okaasan and otousan just died, I really don’t feel like doing anything at all,” Akira said spitefully.
“Well why don’t you come with me to my place and I’ll make breakfast for you.” The woman said and if she was surprised she hid it well.
“Sorry about my outburst, it was uncalled for your just trying to help me. I guess I’ll go with you, by the way what is your name, ma’am,” Akira asked politely.
“My name is Aira,” she said with a motherly smile, “don’t worry about the outburst, considering the situation I can’t say I am surprised, oh and you have some of the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.”
“Thanks I am the only one that I have that has gray eyes, well other then the dead,” Akira said as he looked back into her eyes and saw the same eyes almost, “OH wow your eyes are almost the same.”
“Hai musukosan, that is why I said it,” the motherly woman said, “But we should get going; we can talk on the way.”
“Well Aira-san, how far is your place,” Akira asked, ‘I hope it is close I don’t know how much more I can take today.’
“It is just around the corner musukosan,” Aira said with an uncanny smile.
“Ok,” Akira said as they passed his okaasan’s favorite flower shop, “Once sec Aira-san,”
“Ok musukosan,” she said with a faint knowing smile.
“Akimoto-san, how may I help you today?” The clerk at the front desk asked, “Something for your mother?”
“Riku-san, Hai I want to get one of those gray plastic roses that are smothered in perfume,” Akira said no holding the sadness from his voice.
“Something is wrong Akimoto-san,” Riku said hearing the pain in Akira’s voice.
“Hai there is, Riku, there is,” Akira said with tearful eyes, “been two deaths in the family.”
“Here is the rose, on the store,” Riku said, “You want to talk about it, Akira-san?”
“No, not right now maybe sometime later after you read the papers if there are any on the story,” Akira said.
“Ok, well Akira-san I have a customer behind you,” Riku said trying to get Akira out of the store.
“Well musukosan, did you get what you wanted?” The gray eyed woman asked.
“Hai I did, this is for you,” Akira said as he handed the plastic rose to Aira.
“Thank you musukosan, this is lovely,” Aira said, “my place is just right there let’s go in so I can make something for you.”
“This place looks like a restaurant,” Akira said.
“This is the place I stay at part of the time,” Aira said, “go ahead and get yourself fed, musukosan.”
“Well ok,” the gray-hearted kid said as he stepped into the building.
----------------------{Ukyo’s}
As he stepped through the door, he saw a redheaded girl walking around taking and handing out orders.
‘Where in the hell did that lady go,’ he thought as he made his way to the front bar, ‘might as well get some food while I am here.’
“You look familiar, you go to school with me or something,” she asked politely
“I am Akimoto Akira, I am in your home room at Furinkan,” he stated.
“What would you like, sugar?” Ukyo asked the gloomy-looking teen that just sat down.
“Did you see a woman with shiny gray hair come in here a minute ago,” Akira asked.
“No sugar I didn’t would you like something to eat,” Ukyo asked Akira when she noticed tears falling slowly from his face, “Something wrong hun.”
“Hai there is Ukyo-san, last night my parents died in an explosion,” Akira said with sorrow echoing in his voice, “and my home went with it.”
“Do you have any family to stay with,” Ukyo asked with concern engraved in her eyes.
“No as far as I know all my family was killed many years ago,” Akira said with the same sorrowful look echoing thought out his body, “do you know of a place I could maybe stay?”
“I would let you stay here, but I have a tenet staying in my extra room,” Ukyo said, “maybe you could try the Tendo’s they seem to take people when they are in need.”
“Thanks a lot Ukyo-san, could I get an okonomiyaki,” Akira asked.
“Sure what would you like on it,” Ukyo asked the teen with gray eyes.
“Just anything,” Akira said with a lack of interest.
“Hey Ucchan that’s the last of them,” a girl’s voice said from behind them.
“Ummmm, Thanks Ran-chan,” Ukyo said to the girl behind Akira
“Ucchan, who are you talking to?” Ran-chan asked Ukyo “This is…” she started
“I am Akimoto Akira,” the gray-eye kid said.
“He is in my homeroom,” she said quickly.
“What is your name,” Akira asked the red-headed waitress.
“It’s Tendo Ranko,” she said when she noticed how sad he looked, “something walk over your grave Akira-kun
“Here Hun it’s finished,” Ukyo said handing the okonomiyaki to Akira.
“Thanks Ukyo-san,” Akira was trying to choke down the tears but failing in the process, “I am sure it tastes great but I am not tasting anything just yet.”
“Hun its ok,” Ukyo said as she patted his back.
After several minutes of crying Akira turned to Ranko, “Hey Ranko I don’t have a place to stay anymore, and you Tendos always seem to make room for a person in need, and right now I am in need of a place to stay do you think maybe I could stay with your family maybe?” Akira begged.
“Maybe Akira but you should really ask Tendo-sama, how come you don’t have a place to stay anymore? If you don’t mind me asking,” Ranko asked slowly.
“Well umm my parents were both killed last night. Then the place blow up somewhat.” Akira stated miserably.
“Oh man I am sorry let’s go right now, Ucchan you don’t need me for a while so I am going to introduce him to my family so I’ll be back later.”
“Don’t worry about it Ran-chan, go take care of things for Akira right now.”
The gray-eyed teen stood up and walked outside, the red-haired girl followed him.
----------------------{Streets}
“You kinda look like a cubby Ranma, if you slimmed up you might be hard to tell you apart from him,” Ranko said to Akira trying to pay him a complement.
“Thanks, I guess, considering how many girls chase after him, not to mention that he has Akane and all,” Akira said staring off into space.
“WHAT THAT UNCUTE TOMBOY, THAT IS THE LAST PERSON I...HIM WANTS TO MARRY,” Ranko shouted at Akira almost unrestrained hoping Akira didn’t miss her slip.
“Wow geez I think you are envious of Akane,” Akira with a genuine smile for a couple of seconds
“Well, uh, I am not jealous of her, why would I be,” Ranko said nervously, “there is the Tendo Dojo.”
“Oh wow here already,” Akira said as he watched Ranko run to the gate.
----------------------{Tendo Household}
“Wait here I’ll go get everyone but I won’t be back for a while,” Ranko said to Akira feeling sorry for him. Ranko walks into the house.
“Oh hi Ranma how was your day?” the friendly voice of Kasumi asked the red-haired girl.
“Hey Kasumi could you warm up some water real quick, and where are Tendo and Pops?” Ranma quickly asked.
“They went on a training trip so that they could get away incase your Mom comes back soon, and I was warming up some water for tea but I can fill up what you don’t use.” Kasumi said merrily.
“I hope the freak went with them, anyway I think we are going to have one more guy in the house staying with us, his house was just trashed and his parents went with it,” Ranma said as the warm water went over his head, “gather everyone in the dinning room and I’ll introduce him in a minute after I change my clothes, oh it wouldn’t be a problem if he stayed for while would it?”
“No I don’t think so, he could stay in your room,” she said as she was turning and walking upstairs. “Nabiki, Akane we are needed down in the dinning room,”
“Ok sis I’ll be down in a minute,” Nabiki said as she was counting up her “stock” of photos to sale to the school students.
“I’ll be right there,” Akane said as she was reading her Street Fighter II manga.
“Hey you must be Akimoto Akira, I’m Saotome Ranma, Ranko asked me to introduce you to everyone, and then she went back to work. Come this way,” Ranma told Akira and started walking around the corner into the dining area.
“Ok,” Akira said somewhat confused because he never saw Ranko leave.
“What is all this about, my time is money,” Nabiki growled friendly.
“Well sis I don’t have all the details only Ranma does,” Kasumi said with her head cocked to one side with a smile on her face, “Tea?”
“Anyone know what is going on?” Akane asked.
Ranma and a teen about 17 years of age; he had black hair pulled back into a pony tail that went down to about midback, and had gray eyes which were hidden behind square frame glasses, with a black tank top on and black pants like Ranma’s tied at the ankles, with a grim look on his face.
“Everyone this Akimoto Akira and he need a place to stay,” Ranma said while pointing to Akira, “I have not said he could stay yet, that’s up to everyone in the house.”
“Well why does need a place to stay?” Akane asked with a bewildered look on her face.
Nabiki looked him up and down but got in caught his sad gray eyes looking back at her, “Oh wow your eyes are different.”
“Akira do you want to explain it all or do you want me to?” Ranma asked
“I will…,” Akira explained everything that happened to him in the last 24 hours. By the time he was done he was crying steady, but not getting choked up enough to get to stop talking.
“Well I don’t have any objections to him staying,” Kasumi understood how he felt on some level losing her mother when she was just a kid.
“I know it’s a lot but if I am going to be staying here I should help with something,” handing Kasumi 60000 yen, “take it for my rent.”
“That is not necessary Akira, but we are short of food money. Does anyone have any objections to Akira staying with us?” Kasumi inquired the rest of the family present.
“I don’t at least he isn’t a freeloader like Ranma,” Akane said while sticking her tongue out at Ranma.
“You uncute tomboy,” Ranma growled at Akane.
“You PERVERT,” Ranma and Akane spent the next few seconds insulting each other.
“Well it looks like we turned a profit by letting him so I have no problems with it.” Nabiki said with her usually greedy self.
“Thanks a lot Tendos; I owe you a lot more then I have,” Akira said humbly.
“Do you think you could help me brush up on some combat skills?” Akira requested of Ranma and Akane.
“Sure why not, got nothing better to do,” Ranma said, “well if you are going to be staying here we should get this out of the way, Akane splash me with some cold water.”
Akane’s answer was she grabbed Ranma by the scruff of his neck and throwing him to the Koi pond.
”WHAT WHY YOU,” Ranma shouted as he hit the water.
“UNCUTE TOMBOY,” the voice that was Ranko’s shouted from where Ranma should have been.
“Huh? Ummm, how is this possible?” Akira said with a pale look.
“Ever heard of a place called Jusenkyo?” Ranma-chan asked.
“Hai,” Akira said with a mystified expression, “I thought that place was a legend.”
“Anyway, lets see what you have when it comes to combat,” Ranma-chan said eagerly.
----------------------{Tendo Dojo}
Ranma-chan squared off against Akira.
“You make the first move Akira,” Ranma-chan said enthusiastically.
“Ok but I am horrible,” Akira said as he pivots on his left leg. Ranma-chan reads the move as a roundhouse kick and ducks below where the kick should come from. The kick goes wide above her head.
“No bad, good control,” Ranma-chan said quickly as they started trading a series of punches and kicks.
Ranma tried to stop the punch for show but when it connected there was a small white flash that left her hand feeling very hot.
“Stop for a sec you look like you need to rest for a sec Akira, what was with that last punch you used?” Ranma-chan asked staring at her red hand.
“I don’t know,” Akira said while looking at his smoking hand, “look at this my hand is smoking you ever heard of any thing like that.”
“No man, I haven’t maybe we should go see the old ghoul after a while,” Ranma-chan said.
“Ranma-kun, Akane-chan, Akira-san please come to the house we have a visitor,” Kasumi yelled.
“Lets go see the who the visitor is,” Ranma-chan said.
Ranma-chan, Akane, and Akira walked into the house to meet with this visitor that showed up a just a few minutes ago.
“Akira, you have good potential as a martial artist to be able to put heat in your punches,” Ranma-chan stated with a sly grin on her face, “but if I had been using my full skill you wouldn’t have been able to do it.”
“Very true Ranma-kun, what do you think Akane-san,” gray-eyed teen said while looking to his two new friends.
“Well I think, Ranma is just being overconfident as usual, but hai you do have some skill, are you sure you have never trained before?” Akane asked very politely.
“Hai I am fairly sure, well I did stuff in my back yard a lot trying to look like I knew something about martial arts, kinda like when you see a fat kids try and play Bruce Lee,” Akira smiled.
“Well from what I saw you can play that part,” Ranma said putting a cheerful tone to the end of the sentence.
“Hey Kasumi, who is the visitor,” the “tomboy” asked as she saw Kasumi walk down the hall to the dinning room with a tray of tea.
“I am not sure sis it is someone for Akira, thought I am not sure how he found out he is staying here that fast,” she said with her usual Kasumi smile.
“Tea anyone,” Kasumi asked as everyone filed into the room.
“Thank you Tendo-san,” the stranger in the red shirt, with gray hairs streaking through his black.
“Thanks Kasumi, you’re the guy that helped me in my former house who are you,” Akira asked politely as possible. Akane and Ranma, who had changed back to his male side, gazed in wonder as what was going on.
“I am a former care taker; you were at as a baby the orphanage that I had worked at. When yo,” the man was interrupted by Akira.
“My parents were not my real parents?” The gray-eyed boy said by let it trail off.
“Hai you were born an orphan, and I was your care taker, before the Akimotos took you into their family, my name is Matsuo Kenta. The reason why I came to you is because your parents asked me incase anything happened to them I was to give you this card, this gift card for three airplane tickets to any place in the normal world.” The old care taker said, as he held out his hand with the card in it, “Well it is time I left and I doubt that I will see you again young master, for at least some time, and you might want to change your last name at least because the man that is after the Akimotos is probably searching for their son.” Matsuo Kenta turned left the room, started his car and left, leaving the three teens speechless.
After a few minutes Akira spoke up “Where should we go.”
“Well I don’t know but why did you say we,” Ranma asked with still a confused look on his face.
“Well I figure that since I have access to three tickets to any place in the world, I could treat you two to someplace that you two would like to go,” Akira said holding up the gift card to JAP Airlines.
“Well if you don’t have any place you would want to go, why don’t we see about Jusenkyo for Ranma,” Akane said quietly.
“That is a great idea,” Ranma almost hugged Akane, but quickly stopped before mallet or hand would hit him.
“Sure why not get packed tonight and we’ll go tomorrow,” Akira cheerful stated. ‘Just hope that I don’t fall in one of the springs since they can change you into something else,’ Akira thought to himself.
“Let’s go see the old ghoul about Akira's strange power fist,” Ranma said.
“Ummm, sure who’s is the Old Ghoul?” Akira asked unsurely.
“She the owner of the Neko Café,” Akane said sipping her tea.
“100 yen says she says some about 3000 years of Chinese Amazon history,” the young Saotome said trying to clear of the mood. “Let’s go.”
----------------------{Neko Café}
“Aiya! Ranma you come to see Shampoo,” the purple haired waitress said running up to Ranma.
Shampoo was quickly leeched on to Ranma as usual. “Shampoo, stop, for the love of Kami-Sama STOP.”
“Oh, Ranma…,” Shampoo started but was stopped by Ranma saying.
“Shampoo look I don’t want to marry you, anyway where is the old ghoul?” Ranma said in an annoyed tone
Akira noticed the aura around Akane’s body almost boiling in heat.
“Great-grandmother in back, Shampoo think,” the Amazon with poor language skills said.
“Son-in-law what do you want,” the old ghoul said first looking at Akira but quickly turned to Ranma.
“Well ghoul it is my first reason for being here, Akimoto Akira,” Ranma said while Akira and Cologne did their introductions, “He was sparing with me, he claims to have little martial arts training, but he moves at a level that seems like he kinda knows what he is doing, not quite at the level of skill that Akane is at, but his attacks are powerful and they flash when he attacks, and they are very hot,” Ranma said.
“Hmmmm, well I would have to see it for myself before I jump to conclusions, go upstairs and I will be right up there.” Shampoo’s great-grandmother said.
“Ok meet you up there ghoul,” Ranma said as the three teens filed upstairs.
“Shampoo if this is what I think it is that Akira could become more powerful then Ranma,” Cologne said.
“Aiyah! Not good.” Shampoo exclaimed as the honored elder hopped upstairs.
“Ok Akira I am going to spar with you to see if it happens again,” Cologne said.
“Ok I am guessing that you’re stronger then you look,” Akira said as he pivoted to dodge the staff coming for his body.
“MY TURN,” Akira shouted at the ghoul as he tried a sweep. Cologne easily dodged the sweep.
Akira started sending wild punches and kicks with the potential that could easily be seen in his untamed strength and speed.
Cologne started to let the attacks hit her staff a few feeling a little bit of heat come off of her staff.
“Is it just me or has the temp drop some in this room when they started fighting?” Ranma observed.
“I think your right Ranma, is it just me or is he fighting harder then he was a bit ago,” Akane stated.
“FLARE,” Akira shouted as the room grew even colder, then warmer when he hit Cologne’s staff it turned black where the fist had connected with it.
Akira fell to his knees clutching the side of his head as if he was in pain, “Ahh,” Akira could barely breathe, “what happened ever... *groins* everything turned white,” Akira said as the room began to get colder starting around Akira.
“Hmmm it is as I thought, you some how know the Senkou Dageki, or Flash Strikes, it is a temperature technique that allows the user to control the temperature of his or her surroundings. Out of 3000 years of Chinese Amazon history, there have been only a 40-50 people with the power; I have the diary of the last person that mastered the power.” Cologne said.
“Why did it manifest in me, I have never trained in any type of art other then hacking the school database,” Akira asked the Elder.
“It manifests in people that have had a sudden traumatic event happen to them,” Cologne said with a matter of a fact type voice.
“Well that would include both of my parents dieing at the same time, and then almost got killed myself,” Akira said flatly.
“Hai something like that could do it,” Cologne said with little surprise, “would you like the diary?”
“Hai if it can help get the power under control I need all the help I can get,” Akira said, “its kinda cold in here, and I don’t feel as tired as I should.”
“Ghoul, I think he is absorbing the energy out of the air,” Ranma said as he had one of his few breakthroughs.
“You are right son-in-law, like you he would make an excellent addition to the Amazon tribe,” Cologne said beaming at Akira.
“Whoa wait a sec are you trying to recruit me just like the government,” Akira said with a scared look on his face.
“No, I am giving you the honor of joining the Amazons of China.” Cologne said with pride echoing in her voice.
“Ah, are Amazons not from the Amazon River the place where like 33 percent of the world’s air is made?” Akira asked confusedly.
“We were at one time, but that was over 2000 years ago,” Cologne said.
“Well if you don’t mind me asking why did your tribe leave the Amazon?” Akira said with questioning eyes.
“We gradually moved out of the Amazon and into China,” Cologne said with little pride.
“Well can I just get the book and go, I have had a bit much to chew today,” Akira said wearily.
“If you must young one. Here is the book Akira-san. If you need help on the new techniques please come by.” Cologne said with disappointment in her voice.
----------------------{Jusenkyo}
A young girl with silver hair was standing in the rain with a stunned look upon her face.
“How did this happen, why,” she said in shock staring at her hands, “I should have just stayed with my friend and oniisan. Must get back to Japan.”
------------------ {City near Jusenkyo(not Amazon village)}
“Akane-chan I am worried about my oniisan,” Ranma said with a pain echoing in his eyes, “We should have made sure he made it out of that place.”
“Ranma-kun, he will be alright if he gathers enough heat he can beat you hands down, he doesn’t even need food when he has heat to absorb, if anyone can survive out in the wild it would be him, besides he got a pass from Cologne to get help from them in that village that is near by.” Akane said comforting Ranma’s eyes
------------{Someplace out in the wilderness near Jusenkyo}
“Damnit to hell, no heat left, I should have went with Oniisan and Akane-chan,” Akira said with fear going throughout the voice.
‘Akira where are you?’ Akira heard inside the mind.
“I am right here. Help me RANMA, my brother,” Akira shouted!
----------------------{City near Jusenkyo}
“AKIRA WHERE ARE YOU? Come back, don’t die.” Ranma shouted what had been going trough his mind, “I am going searching for him.”
“Ranma we can’t leave this place remember what the police officer said,” Akane said with the cold fear running trough out her body.
“I don’t care I am going, I will use my cruse if I have to but I am going the police will not stop me in my search for oniisan,” Ranma said with fierce determination.
“Ranma you can’t, I don’t want you to leave me alone,” Akane said with the fear of loss.
“Then come with me, together we can get out of here easily,” Ranma said with a pained heart.
“How are we going to get out though?” Akane asked with a weak voice.
“I need you to build a hot Ki and I will do the Hiryu Shoten Ha and we can escape through the roof or wall,” Ranma said feeling the coldness taking his body.
------------{Somewhere out in the wilderness near Jusenkyo}
‘Where am I at’ the silver haired girl asked herself.
“HELLO ANYONE OUT THERE?” the girl shouted out into the forest.
‘A light in the distance,” The girl thought as she started to run to the light.
----------------------{City near Jusenkyo}
“HIRYU SHOTEN HA,” Ranma shouted that the top of his lungs.
“Ranma I couldn’t do it,” Akane said with tears flowing freely, “I am scared Ranma. Why can’t you just blast the place in with Mokotaka-Bisha?”
“Because I can’t,” Ranma said in a small voice, “I have already tried.”
“Show me how to do it then,” Akane said, “how to project Ki like you and Ryoga does.”
“You sure, Akane, I think you already know how to do it, you can’t have not watched me do so much and not have picked it up?” Ranma said.
“FINE DON’T THEN I WILL JUST TRY SOME THING,” Akane shouted as she stick her arms out to her sides and began breathing in rhythm that her arms circled around her torso.
“What the hell are you doing, if you project your Ki in that arc you will destroy everything,” Ranma said in fear, “That is why we put our arms to our crest when summoning our Ki is to keep it from exploding everywhere.”
Akane begins to glow with a quivering blue light surrounding her, and penetrating her.
“Akane-chan stop you can’t control it like I can or Ryoga can,” Ranma shouted at Akane in fear, “Akane you will kill us and everyone within a block.”
“Ranma do you love me,” Akane asked Ranma as her voice was echoing dramatically and strangely calming.
“Akane-chan why do you ask that now,” Ranma asked with confusion starting to take his heart.
“I have to know Ranma, tell me the truth,” Akane said with the same voice.
“Hai Akane watakushi koi otaku,” Ranma said.
“As do I my wild horse I wish we had stopped fighting sooner. I love you Ranma, Goodbye,” Akane said and that echoed in Ranma’s heart harder then anything he had ever felt before.
“KIHAKU-DEBARI-HA (Soul Projection Wave),” Akane shouted.
‘Mai Kyuusaisha (My Savior),’ was the last thing Akane thought.
----------------------{Campsite near Jusenkyo}
“Hello is there anyone here,” the small girl with silver hair asked the surroundings.
“Hai there is young one,” said a man on the other side of the fire, “who might you be?”
“I am just lost and trying to find my oniisan, have you seen anyone, sir?” the young girl asked.
“Not in a while young one, last person I was a three Japanese youths one with a pony tail and pigtail and one with navy blue hair, two of them were girls and the girl with a pigtail, had red hair. Those three were headed into Jusenkyo.”
----------------------{Unknown}
“Akane, Akane, Akane open your eyes, I know you can hear me,” said an unfamiliar yet familiar voice.
Akane opened her eyes and she saw her family dojo but it had a white haze as if there were no shadows.
“Akane it has been a long time since I have seen you,” said that same voice as she felt a hand resting on her shoulder.
“Okaasan, is that you?” Akane asked as she turned around, “OKAASAN!”
“Hai Akane it is me,” Tendo Kimiko said to her ojousan as she had started hugging her closely.
--------------{Someplace in the forest outside of the city}
‘Damnit Akane we could have gotten out of there without you having to kill yourself,’ Ranma thought as he ran with tear-filled eyes, “WHY, WHY NOW WHEN WE HAD FINILLY BEEN HONEST WITH EACHOTHER.”
----------------------{Campsite}
“Would you like some thing to eat young one, maybe something to drink,” the man said offering the girl with silver hair.
“No I am not hungry or thirsty all I need right now is some warmth,” the girl said quickly.
“Well the fire is right there,” the man said, “What is your name by the way?”
“It is Saotome Aira,” the girl named Aira said, “Yours?
“Its Kuro Zenjin well you should eat something it looks like you have been running for at least have the night, you will need all the strength you can get,” The man said offering Aira some meat and water.
“I have been running for half the night, thanks,” Aira said as she accepted the food.

After several minutes of tears.
“DAMNIT AKANE WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF THERE WITHOUT YOU HAVING TO KILL YOURSELF,” Akane heard ringing around with all the clarity as if she had been right besides Ranma, “WHY, WHY NOW WHEN WE HAD FINILLY BEEN HONEST WITH EACHOTHER.”
“Okaasan, what was that,” Akane asked her mother.
“That was Ranma in the present his thoughts and words, Akane do you know where you are,” Akane’s Mom asked her daughter.
“I am dead, because I am with you,” Akane answered.
“No my child you are wrong, as you are dead but not for long you will return to your lover’s side soon but you must first complete a test of heart here before the Almighty,” Kimiko told her daughter, “you willing gave your life for Ranma so he could save your friend Akira, Ranma’s oniisan. You have become a Silver Saint.”
----------------------{The Campsite}
“WHY, WHY…” a voice in the distance shouted.
“RAMNA WHERE ARE YOU AT,” Aira shouted back into the distance as she got up and started to run, ‘Damnit I am paralyzed,’ “You bastard you poisoned me, RANMA HELP ME.”
“Shutup bitch, you should have known from my name that I am not a nice person, I am Dark Saint,” The man named Kuro Zenjin said with coldness that would have frozen a small lake, “Now I am going to take my pleasure from you.”
‘Heat need heat, need to powerup, need my strength,” Aira thought to herself, “I WOULD RATHER BE THROWN IN YOUR FIRE YOU BASTARD.”
“Maybe afterwards if you bore me,” the Dark Saint said with a sinful smile.
‘Damnit to hell, there is nothing I can do unless I get some heat to give me my strength back.’ Aira thought.
“There is one other thing I put in the food, A poison that can only be cured if by having high levels of the hormone that sends pleasure to the brain, so if you wish to die fight against it, but if you want to live you will have to get into it, but ether way its going to happen and considering that I am the only one here and your paralyzed so you are unable to do it yourself.” The man smile seemed to darken the already dark world,” Are you going to fight against me, or are you going to give in?”
“Does it matter, you bastard,” Aira said full of spite, “I doubt that you could rape me if I was at full strength!”
“I bet I could you are just a weak girl, and if not oh well I don’t care because I have you now as I want you so it is going to happen, you might as well enjoy it!” He snapped back.
‘I can feel heat, must gather it must keep him at bay,’ Aira thought, “Anything Goes Martial Arts technique Senkou Dageki Heat Vortex,” Aira shouted as she started to pull the temperate down to her as the center point, ‘Damnit not enough, I would have to be in the fire to get it fast enough.’
“Impressive girl I should have known that you were a martial artist, in the Flash Strikes none the less as well,” The man laughed like a madman, “Now I want you even more.”
“NO OH KAMI-SAMA NO…” Aira started shouting hysterically as she felt him begin to felt of her breasts, ‘MUST BLOCK IT OUT.’
----------------------{Forest where Ranma is}
‘I don’t feel like going on anymore. This is what Ryoga must feel all the time.’ Ranma felt as though he had been hit the worst thing possible that could ever happen to him.
“HELP, HELP, HELP ME RANMA,” He heard in the distance.
‘I tried Akane I tried,’ Ranma thought.
‘WAKE UP BAKA THAT IS NOT MY VOICE SCREAMING,’ Akane’s voice went through his head.
“HELP ANYONE HEL” The woman’s voice in the distance went again.
----------------------{Campsite}
“HELP ANYONE HELumma,” Aira yelled as the man moved his hand over her mouth to quiet her.
“Your full of all sorts of energy aren’t you. Well I think its time for these to come off.” He said as he pulled her pants off, “Boy’s boxers how odd, but easier to get off.”
Now Aira lay with her body exposed to the world around her paralyzed and helpless. She just stared at the man named Dark Saint as she felt anything beyond what any normal girl feels in the same situation.
“Well I am tired of waiting for my release. I see that you are a natural silver haired girl, a true rare.” Kuro said with a stare that burned right through her flesh as he undressed himself.
He begin to feel of her sex, “My wet already, how naughty girl,”
‘OH KAMI-SAMA NO I CAN’T THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING, “AH!” ‘WHY DOES IT FEEL GOOD I HATE THIS BODY, I AM A MARTIAL ARTIST I CAN CONTROL MY BODY, BUT I, “AHA OH KAMI-SAMA STOP PLEASE ST…AH.”
“SHE SAID STOP YOU HENTAI FOR THIS YOU WILL DIE,” a voice of pure hatred snarled, “KACHU TENSHIN AMAGURIKEN!”
Kuro Zenjin was caught several times in the back by Ranma’s fists which held all of his anger and fear that he had been holding in for the last few days. The man that was known as Dark Saint collapsed onto the ground and lay twitching.
“Ma’am, are you alright,” Ranma looked at the silver haired girl lying at his feet reaching his hand down to help her up.
“RANMA OH THANK KAMI-SAMA. Oniisan thank Kami-sama you came he was about to ra…,” Aira stiffly stood up and hugged him with all her might and started to cry.
“Ma’am I have never seen you before,” Ranma said after she had calmed down.
“It’s me, Akira, I fell into Nyannichuan,” Akira-chan said with tearful eyes calling to Ranma’s.
“Akira, damnit, I should have never left you there alone,” Ranma said remembering the anxiety of first becoming crused himself.
“I just need he…he…heat,” Akira-chan said dizzily.
“Ok Oniisan, I’ll put you near the fire, he said as he took off his shirt and handed it to his brother/sister, “Sleep and get your strength.”
“Where is Akane, Ranma,” Akira-chan as her brother.
“She auh… died, Akira,” Ranma said with tears welling up in his eyes.
“Ohkamisama,” was Akira only response.
Akira-chan and Ranma sat next to the fire as they fell asleep crying on each others shoulder.
----------------------{Unknown}
“Akane you could not help them,” Kimiko soothed her daughter.
“But,” Akane started.
“No buts,” Kimiko interrupted her daughter, “Ranma and Akira are asleep you can commune with them.
“Really?” Akane asked with a rising hope.
“Hai, it is true, just focus on Ranma and Akira,” Kimiko said.
“Huh where are we now Ranma,” Akira asked Ranma as he woke him up.
“I don’t know Akira, hey wait a sec were we not in the forest, and you were a girl?” Ranma quickly answered with confusion.
“Ranma-kun, Akira-san,” Akane said.
“Akane,” Ranma and Akira said in unison, “We thought you were dead.”
“I am, Ranma I did die, but I am able to come back once I do a test for Kami-sama.” Akane said with sadness echoing in her voice.
“Akane no please come back with us,” Ranma pleaded Akane on his hands and knee, Akira was doing the same.
“I can’t Ranma I want to but I can’t, with all my heart I want to come with you to go home,” Akane cried to Ranma her voice becoming distance.
“AKANE COME BACK TO ME,” Ranma shouted and then fell into darkness.
“Ranma wake up we’re home,” a woman’s voice told Ranma.
“Akane, AKANE COME BACK.” Ranma shouted.
“Ranma wake up,” Akira-chan said still wearing Ranma’s shirt.
“What how did we get home?” Ranma asked Akira-chan.
“I don’t know Oniisan, I think Akane brought us here, Akira-chan said “Anyway we should find everyone and let them know what happened.
“We should probably get off the floor before Nabiki sees us like this and takes a picture,” Ranma said.
*CLICK* *FLASH*
“Damnit too late” Akira-chan said loudly.
[Author’s notes]
Yes I did mean to jump from the Neko Café to Jusenkyo; I did this because I wanted to have the story explain everything in the second chapter. Mainly because Ranma and Akira would have to explain everything that happened anyway, I thought it would be better reading if it was done like this. In the next chapter everything for the most part will be explained.
Sabayn (Sa-bay-n)
I am looking for help in proofreading and such if you are interested please leave a review about it and I will get with you ASAP. I would also like help getting the Japanese pronouns and words down right.
Please leave a review so that I know that if I have done a good job I can feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

Ranma and Akira ½ Chapter 1 Enter Akimoto Akira, The Lonely Orphan
1
Chapter 1
Enter Akimoto Akira, the lonely orphan.
This story is based on Ranma ½. Most of the characters are not owned by me, but by Rumiko Takahashi. This story has been written for fun and not for any money gain.
Akimoto Akira is of my creation, any similarities to other characters are by accident.
This story starts sometime after Headmaster Kuno steals all the tests and before Umisekken and Yamasekken part. Which are Novels 27(end) and 28(beginning)
This might contain things that are unsuitable for people under the age of 17.
One person I want to thank is Jim Bader, for all of his fanfiction he wrote because if I had not read that his series Nabiki ½, Jedi Kasumi, A Very Scary Thought, and A Tale of Two Wallets along with all the side stories. His stories got me in the mood to write my own. If it was not for his many artworks this crayon drew picture would not have been made.
----------------------{Akimoto House}
Akira awoke to what he felt the house shake.
’That sounds like electric energy waves,’ he thought ‘wait a sec it coming from’ “OH KAMI-SAMA,” Akira shouted as he rose out of his bed with inhuman speeds.
His parents’ room door had been blown open with what looked like odd burns in place of where the door was. He slowed his speed when he stepped into room fearing the worst. There was a firefighter, ax in hand, standing over his mother’s and father’s futons.
“WHAT IN THE NINE RINGS OF HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?” Akira shouted with all of the hatred of his heart.
The firefighter turned around and it had a water hose resting in his hands. “You’re to late boy, and now you are going to suffer for the rest of your life,” a male voice said coming from behind the firefighter’s mask. The last thing Akira saw was water rushing out of the hose at speeds that it seemed solid.
"Hey kid wake up," a male voice said full of concern. Akira's eyes slowly began to open.
"What time is it? Where am I? And what are you doing here Ranma?" Akira asked as he saw a red shirt.
"Sorry but you must have me confused with someone, it’s ten in the morning on a Saturday, and you are at the Akimoto House where a hot water heater blown up last night, I am surprised you're alive. What your name kid?" He stated.
"Its Akimoto Akira, wait my parents where are they?" He almost yelled.
"Well ummmm....kid I hate to sa," he started but was interrupted
"Oh Kami-SAMA no....their dead aren't they?" Akira said with the cold fear in the pit of his stomach.
"Hai kid they are, their bodies were completely destroyed in the explosion, let's get you up and out of here and a change of your cloths are soaking wet."
Akira broke into tears as the man picked him and took him to what was his room. The man got a dry set of clothes from what would have been Akira's clothes hamper. “Well kid this is all you have left that.” The man said handing Akira a black tank top with a pair of black tie off pants. Akira took the clothes without question, and slipped them over his bruised body.
The man led him outside to where his car was. Akira looked into the sky, and there he saw his mother’s and father’s face if just for a split second. Akira gave a half smile to the man. “Well thanks if you don’t mind I am going to go for a walk.”
The man shrugged “Well kid why don’t you go get something to eat then. Here is some yen to help you get started,” the man handed Akira a few bills turned around and started to get in his car.
“Hey you gave me almost 100,000 yen that is a little much,” Akira exclaimed.
“No kid it really isn’t enough, I am just doing a favor to some people I owe my life to, I’ll explain everything when we meet again, oh and kid if you wouldn’t mind I wasn’t here,” he got in his car and drove off.
Akira just stood there for a minute going over with what happened last night, and then a few minutes later. He heard someone running up the street.
“Hello musukosan, might I ask what happened here?” A woman with shiny gray hair asked.
“Ummm my family’s water heater blew up last night,” Akira said not really wanting to continue the conversion.
“Well musukosan, I doubt that you want to deal the police, do you?” the shiny haired woman said, “You look like you need something to eat.”
“Hai I am, but I am not in the mood to eat,” Akira said forlornly.
“Well musukosan, do you know where your going to stay now that you are homeless?” She asked maintaining a kind tone.
“I don’t know yet ma’am, my okaasan and otousan just died, I really don’t feel like doing anything at all,” Akira said spitefully.
“Well why don’t you come with me to my place and I’ll make breakfast for you.” The woman said and if she was surprised she hid it well.
“Sorry about my outburst, it was uncalled for your just trying to help me. I guess I’ll go with you, by the way what is your name, ma’am,” Akira asked politely.
“My name is Aira,” she said with a motherly smile, “don’t worry about the outburst, considering the situation I can’t say I am surprised, oh and you have some of the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.”
“Thanks I am the only one that I have that has gray eyes, well other then the dead,” Akira said as he looked back into her eyes and saw the same eyes almost, “OH wow your eyes are almost the same.”
“Hai musukosan, that is why I said it,” the motherly woman said, “But we should get going; we can talk on the way.”
“Well Aira-san, how far is your place,” Akira asked, ‘I hope it is close I don’t know how much more I can take today.’
“It is just around the corner musukosan,” Aira said with an uncanny smile.
“Ok,” Akira said as they passed his okaasan’s favorite flower shop, “Once sec Aira-san,”
“Ok musukosan,” she said with a faint knowing smile.
“Akimoto-san, how may I help you today?” The clerk at the front desk asked, “Something for your mother?”
“Riku-san, Hai I want to get one of those gray plastic roses that are smothered in perfume,” Akira said no holding the sadness from his voice.
“Something is wrong Akimoto-san,” Riku said hearing the pain in Akira’s voice.
“Hai there is, Riku, there is,” Akira said with tearful eyes, “been two deaths in the family.”
“Here is the rose, on the store,” Riku said, “You want to talk about it, Akira-san?”
“No, not right now maybe sometime later after you read the papers if there are any on the story,” Akira said.
“Ok, well Akira-san I have a customer behind you,” Riku said trying to get Akira out of the store.
“Well musukosan, did you get what you wanted?” The gray eyed woman asked.
“Hai I did, this is for you,” Akira said as he handed the plastic rose to Aira.
“Thank you musukosan, this is lovely,” Aira said, “my place is just right there let’s go in so I can make something for you.”
“This place looks like a restaurant,” Akira said.
“This is the place I stay at part of the time,” Aira said, “go ahead and get yourself fed, musukosan.”
“Well ok,” the gray-hearted kid said as he stepped into the building.
----------------------{Ukyo’s}
As he stepped through the door, he saw a redheaded girl walking around taking and handing out orders.
‘Where in the hell did that lady go,’ he thought as he made his way to the front bar, ‘might as well get some food while I am here.’
“You look familiar, you go to school with me or something,” she asked politely
“I am Akimoto Akira, I am in your home room at Furinkan,” he stated.
“What would you like, sugar?” Ukyo asked the gloomy-looking teen that just sat down.
“Did you see a woman with shiny gray hair come in here a minute ago,” Akira asked.
“No sugar I didn’t would you like something to eat,” Ukyo asked Akira when she noticed tears falling slowly from his face, “Something wrong hun.”
“Hai there is Ukyo-san, last night my parents died in an explosion,” Akira said with sorrow echoing in his voice, “and my home went with it.”
“Do you have any family to stay with,” Ukyo asked with concern engraved in her eyes.
“No as far as I know all my family was killed many years ago,” Akira said with the same sorrowful look echoing thought out his body, “do you know of a place I could maybe stay?”
“I would let you stay here, but I have a tenet staying in my extra room,” Ukyo said, “maybe you could try the Tendo’s they seem to take people when they are in need.”
“Thanks a lot Ukyo-san, could I get an okonomiyaki,” Akira asked.
“Sure what would you like on it,” Ukyo asked the teen with gray eyes.
“Just anything,” Akira said with a lack of interest.
“Hey Ucchan that’s the last of them,” a girl’s voice said from behind them.
“Ummmm, Thanks Ran-chan,” Ukyo said to the girl behind Akira
“Ucchan, who are you talking to?” Ran-chan asked Ukyo “This is…” she started
“I am Akimoto Akira,” the gray-eye kid said.
“He is in my homeroom,” she said quickly.
“What is your name,” Akira asked the red-headed waitress.
“It’s Tendo Ranko,” she said when she noticed how sad he looked, “something walk over your grave Akira-kun
“Here Hun it’s finished,” Ukyo said handing the okonomiyaki to Akira.
“Thanks Ukyo-san,” Akira was trying to choke down the tears but failing in the process, “I am sure it tastes great but I am not tasting anything just yet.”
“Hun its ok,” Ukyo said as she patted his back.
After several minutes of crying Akira turned to Ranko, “Hey Ranko I don’t have a place to stay anymore, and you Tendos always seem to make room for a person in need, and right now I am in need of a place to stay do you think maybe I could stay with your family maybe?” Akira begged.
“Maybe Akira but you should really ask Tendo-sama, how come you don’t have a place to stay anymore? If you don’t mind me asking,” Ranko asked slowly.
“Well umm my parents were both killed last night. Then the place blow up somewhat.” Akira stated miserably.
“Oh man I am sorry let’s go right now, Ucchan you don’t need me for a while so I am going to introduce him to my family so I’ll be back later.”
“Don’t worry about it Ran-chan, go take care of things for Akira right now.”
The gray-eyed teen stood up and walked outside, the red-haired girl followed him.
----------------------{Streets}
“You kinda look like a cubby Ranma, if you slimmed up you might be hard to tell you apart from him,” Ranko said to Akira trying to pay him a complement.
“Thanks, I guess, considering how many girls chase after him, not to mention that he has Akane and all,” Akira said staring off into space.
“WHAT THAT UNCUTE TOMBOY, THAT IS THE LAST PERSON I...HIM WANTS TO MARRY,” Ranko shouted at Akira almost unrestrained hoping Akira didn’t miss her slip.
“Wow geez I think you are envious of Akane,” Akira with a genuine smile for a couple of seconds
“Well, uh, I am not jealous of her, why would I be,” Ranko said nervously, “there is the Tendo Dojo.”
“Oh wow here already,” Akira said as he watched Ranko run to the gate.
----------------------{Tendo Household}
“Wait here I’ll go get everyone but I won’t be back for a while,” Ranko said to Akira feeling sorry for him. Ranko walks into the house.
“Oh hi Ranma how was your day?” the friendly voice of Kasumi asked the red-haired girl.
“Hey Kasumi could you warm up some water real quick, and where are Tendo and Pops?” Ranma quickly asked.
“They went on a training trip so that they could get away incase your Mom comes back soon, and I was warming up some water for tea but I can fill up what you don’t use.” Kasumi said merrily.
“I hope the freak went with them, anyway I think we are going to have one more guy in the house staying with us, his house was just trashed and his parents went with it,” Ranma said as the warm water went over his head, “gather everyone in the dinning room and I’ll introduce him in a minute after I change my clothes, oh it wouldn’t be a problem if he stayed for while would it?”
“No I don’t think so, he could stay in your room,” she said as she was turning and walking upstairs. “Nabiki, Akane we are needed down in the dinning room,”
“Ok sis I’ll be down in a minute,” Nabiki said as she was counting up her “stock” of photos to sale to the school students.
“I’ll be right there,” Akane said as she was reading her Street Fighter II manga.
“Hey you must be Akimoto Akira, I’m Saotome Ranma, Ranko asked me to introduce you to everyone, and then she went back to work. Come this way,” Ranma told Akira and started walking around the corner into the dining area.
“Ok,” Akira said somewhat confused because he never saw Ranko leave.
“What is all this about, my time is money,” Nabiki growled friendly.
“Well sis I don’t have all the details only Ranma does,” Kasumi said with her head cocked to one side with a smile on her face, “Tea?”
“Anyone know what is going on?” Akane asked.
Ranma and a teen about 17 years of age; he had black hair pulled back into a pony tail that went down to about midback, and had gray eyes which were hidden behind square frame glasses, with a black tank top on and black pants like Ranma’s tied at the ankles, with a grim look on his face.
“Everyone this Akimoto Akira and he need a place to stay,” Ranma said while pointing to Akira, “I have not said he could stay yet, that’s up to everyone in the house.”
“Well why does need a place to stay?” Akane asked with a bewildered look on her face.
Nabiki looked him up and down but got in caught his sad gray eyes looking back at her, “Oh wow your eyes are different.”
“Akira do you want to explain it all or do you want me to?” Ranma asked
“I will…,” Akira explained everything that happened to him in the last 24 hours. By the time he was done he was crying steady, but not getting choked up enough to get to stop talking.
“Well I don’t have any objections to him staying,” Kasumi understood how he felt on some level losing her mother when she was just a kid.
“I know it’s a lot but if I am going to be staying here I should help with something,” handing Kasumi 60000 yen, “take it for my rent.”
“That is not necessary Akira, but we are short of food money. Does anyone have any objections to Akira staying with us?” Kasumi inquired the rest of the family present.
“I don’t at least he isn’t a freeloader like Ranma,” Akane said while sticking her tongue out at Ranma.
“You uncute tomboy,” Ranma growled at Akane.
“You PERVERT,” Ranma and Akane spent the next few seconds insulting each other.
“Well it looks like we turned a profit by letting him so I have no problems with it.” Nabiki said with her usually greedy self.
“Thanks a lot Tendos; I owe you a lot more then I have,” Akira said humbly.
“Do you think you could help me brush up on some combat skills?” Akira requested of Ranma and Akane.
“Sure why not, got nothing better to do,” Ranma said, “well if you are going to be staying here we should get this out of the way, Akane splash me with some cold water.”
Akane’s answer was she grabbed Ranma by the scruff of his neck and throwing him to the Koi pond.
”WHAT WHY YOU,” Ranma shouted as he hit the water.
“UNCUTE TOMBOY,” the voice that was Ranko’s shouted from where Ranma should have been.
“Huh? Ummm, how is this possible?” Akira said with a pale look.
“Ever heard of a place called Jusenkyo?” Ranma-chan asked.
“Hai,” Akira said with a mystified expression, “I thought that place was a legend.”
“Anyway, lets see what you have when it comes to combat,” Ranma-chan said eagerly.
----------------------{Tendo Dojo}
Ranma-chan squared off against Akira.
“You make the first move Akira,” Ranma-chan said enthusiastically.
“Ok but I am horrible,” Akira said as he pivots on his left leg. Ranma-chan reads the move as a roundhouse kick and ducks below where the kick should come from. The kick goes wide above her head.
“No bad, good control,” Ranma-chan said quickly as they started trading a series of punches and kicks.
Ranma tried to stop the punch for show but when it connected there was a small white flash that left her hand feeling very hot.
“Stop for a sec you look like you need to rest for a sec Akira, what was with that last punch you used?” Ranma-chan asked staring at her red hand.
“I don’t know,” Akira said while looking at his smoking hand, “look at this my hand is smoking you ever heard of any thing like that.”
“No man, I haven’t maybe we should go see the old ghoul after a while,” Ranma-chan said.
“Ranma-kun, Akane-chan, Akira-san please come to the house we have a visitor,” Kasumi yelled.
“Lets go see the who the visitor is,” Ranma-chan said.
Ranma-chan, Akane, and Akira walked into the house to meet with this visitor that showed up a just a few minutes ago.
“Akira, you have good potential as a martial artist to be able to put heat in your punches,” Ranma-chan stated with a sly grin on her face, “but if I had been using my full skill you wouldn’t have been able to do it.”
“Very true Ranma-kun, what do you think Akane-san,” gray-eyed teen said while looking to his two new friends.
“Well I think, Ranma is just being overconfident as usual, but hai you do have some skill, are you sure you have never trained before?” Akane asked very politely.
“Hai I am fairly sure, well I did stuff in my back yard a lot trying to look like I knew something about martial arts, kinda like when you see a fat kids try and play Bruce Lee,” Akira smiled.
“Well from what I saw you can play that part,” Ranma said putting a cheerful tone to the end of the sentence.
“Hey Kasumi, who is the visitor,” the “tomboy” asked as she saw Kasumi walk down the hall to the dinning room with a tray of tea.
“I am not sure sis it is someone for Akira, thought I am not sure how he found out he is staying here that fast,” she said with her usual Kasumi smile.
“Tea anyone,” Kasumi asked as everyone filed into the room.
“Thank you Tendo-san,” the stranger in the red shirt, with gray hairs streaking through his black.
“Thanks Kasumi, you’re the guy that helped me in my former house who are you,” Akira asked politely as possible. Akane and Ranma, who had changed back to his male side, gazed in wonder as what was going on.
“I am a former care taker; you were at as a baby the orphanage that I had worked at. When yo,” the man was interrupted by Akira.
“My parents were not my real parents?” The gray-eyed boy said by let it trail off.
“Hai you were born an orphan, and I was your care taker, before the Akimotos took you into their family, my name is Matsuo Kenta. The reason why I came to you is because your parents asked me incase anything happened to them I was to give you this card, this gift card for three airplane tickets to any place in the normal world.” The old care taker said, as he held out his hand with the card in it, “Well it is time I left and I doubt that I will see you again young master, for at least some time, and you might want to change your last name at least because the man that is after the Akimotos is probably searching for their son.” Matsuo Kenta turned left the room, started his car and left, leaving the three teens speechless.
After a few minutes Akira spoke up “Where should we go.”
“Well I don’t know but why did you say we,” Ranma asked with still a confused look on his face.
“Well I figure that since I have access to three tickets to any place in the world, I could treat you two to someplace that you two would like to go,” Akira said holding up the gift card to JAP Airlines.
“Well if you don’t have any place you would want to go, why don’t we see about Jusenkyo for Ranma,” Akane said quietly.
“That is a great idea,” Ranma almost hugged Akane, but quickly stopped before mallet or hand would hit him.
“Sure why not get packed tonight and we’ll go tomorrow,” Akira cheerful stated. ‘Just hope that I don’t fall in one of the springs since they can change you into something else,’ Akira thought to himself.
“Let’s go see the old ghoul about Akira's strange power fist,” Ranma said.
“Ummm, sure who’s is the Old Ghoul?” Akira asked unsurely.
“She the owner of the Neko Café,” Akane said sipping her tea.
“100 yen says she says some about 3000 years of Chinese Amazon history,” the young Saotome said trying to clear of the mood. “Let’s go.”
----------------------{Neko Café}
“Aiya! Ranma you come to see Shampoo,” the purple haired waitress said running up to Ranma.
Shampoo was quickly leeched on to Ranma as usual. “Shampoo, stop, for the love of Kami-Sama STOP.”
“Oh, Ranma…,” Shampoo started but was stopped by Ranma saying.
“Shampoo look I don’t want to marry you, anyway where is the old ghoul?” Ranma said in an annoyed tone
Akira noticed the aura around Akane’s body almost boiling in heat.
“Great-grandmother in back, Shampoo think,” the Amazon with poor language skills said.
“Son-in-law what do you want,” the old ghoul said first looking at Akira but quickly turned to Ranma.
“Well ghoul it is my first reason for being here, Akimoto Akira,” Ranma said while Akira and Cologne did their introductions, “He was sparing with me, he claims to have little martial arts training, but he moves at a level that seems like he kinda knows what he is doing, not quite at the level of skill that Akane is at, but his attacks are powerful and they flash when he attacks, and they are very hot,” Ranma said.
“Hmmmm, well I would have to see it for myself before I jump to conclusions, go upstairs and I will be right up there.” Shampoo’s great-grandmother said.
“Ok meet you up there ghoul,” Ranma said as the three teens filed upstairs.
“Shampoo if this is what I think it is that Akira could become more powerful then Ranma,” Cologne said.
“Aiyah! Not good.” Shampoo exclaimed as the honored elder hopped upstairs.
“Ok Akira I am going to spar with you to see if it happens again,” Cologne said.
“Ok I am guessing that you’re stronger then you look,” Akira said as he pivoted to dodge the staff coming for his body.
“MY TURN,” Akira shouted at the ghoul as he tried a sweep. Cologne easily dodged the sweep.
Akira started sending wild punches and kicks with the potential that could easily be seen in his untamed strength and speed.
Cologne started to let the attacks hit her staff a few feeling a little bit of heat come off of her staff.
“Is it just me or has the temp drop some in this room when they started fighting?” Ranma observed.
“I think your right Ranma, is it just me or is he fighting harder then he was a bit ago,” Akane stated.
“FLARE,” Akira shouted as the room grew even colder, then warmer when he hit Cologne’s staff it turned black where the fist had connected with it.
Akira fell to his knees clutching the side of his head as if he was in pain, “Ahh,” Akira could barely breathe, “what happened ever... *groins* everything turned white,” Akira said as the room began to get colder starting around Akira.
“Hmmm it is as I thought, you some how know the Senkou Dageki, or Flash Strikes, it is a temperature technique that allows the user to control the temperature of his or her surroundings. Out of 3000 years of Chinese Amazon history, there have been only a 40-50 people with the power; I have the diary of the last person that mastered the power.” Cologne said.
“Why did it manifest in me, I have never trained in any type of art other then hacking the school database,” Akira asked the Elder.
“It manifests in people that have had a sudden traumatic event happen to them,” Cologne said with a matter of a fact type voice.
“Well that would include both of my parents dieing at the same time, and then almost got killed myself,” Akira said flatly.
“Hai something like that could do it,” Cologne said with little surprise, “would you like the diary?”
“Hai if it can help get the power under control I need all the help I can get,” Akira said, “its kinda cold in here, and I don’t feel as tired as I should.”
“Ghoul, I think he is absorbing the energy out of the air,” Ranma said as he had one of his few breakthroughs.
“You are right son-in-law, like you he would make an excellent addition to the Amazon tribe,” Cologne said beaming at Akira.
“Whoa wait a sec are you trying to recruit me just like the government,” Akira said with a scared look on his face.
“No, I am giving you the honor of joining the Amazons of China.” Cologne said with pride echoing in her voice.
“Ah, are Amazons not from the Amazon River the place where like 33 percent of the world’s air is made?” Akira asked confusedly.
“We were at one time, but that was over 2000 years ago,” Cologne said.
“Well if you don’t mind me asking why did your tribe leave the Amazon?” Akira said with questioning eyes.
“We gradually moved out of the Amazon and into China,” Cologne said with little pride.
“Well can I just get the book and go, I have had a bit much to chew today,” Akira said wearily.
“If you must young one. Here is the book Akira-san. If you need help on the new techniques please come by.” Cologne said with disappointment in her voice.
----------------------{Jusenkyo}
A young girl with silver hair was standing in the rain with a stunned look upon her face.
“How did this happen, why,” she said in shock staring at her hands, “I should have just stayed with my friend and oniisan. Must get back to Japan.”
------------------ {City near Jusenkyo(not Amazon village)}
“Akane-chan I am worried about my oniisan,” Ranma said with a pain echoing in his eyes, “We should have made sure he made it out of that place.”
“Ranma-kun, he will be alright if he gathers enough heat he can beat you hands down, he doesn’t even need food when he has heat to absorb, if anyone can survive out in the wild it would be him, besides he got a pass from Cologne to get help from them in that village that is near by.” Akane said comforting Ranma’s eyes
------------{Someplace out in the wilderness near Jusenkyo}
“Damnit to hell, no heat left, I should have went with Oniisan and Akane-chan,” Akira said with fear going throughout the voice.
‘Akira where are you?’ Akira heard inside the mind.
“I am right here. Help me RANMA, my brother,” Akira shouted!
----------------------{City near Jusenkyo}
“AKIRA WHERE ARE YOU? Come back, don’t die.” Ranma shouted what had been going trough his mind, “I am going searching for him.”
“Ranma we can’t leave this place remember what the police officer said,” Akane said with the cold fear running trough out her body.
“I don’t care I am going, I will use my cruse if I have to but I am going the police will not stop me in my search for oniisan,” Ranma said with fierce determination.
“Ranma you can’t, I don’t want you to leave me alone,” Akane said with the fear of loss.
“Then come with me, together we can get out of here easily,” Ranma said with a pained heart.
“How are we going to get out though?” Akane asked with a weak voice.
“I need you to build a hot Ki and I will do the Hiryu Shoten Ha and we can escape through the roof or wall,” Ranma said feeling the coldness taking his body.
------------{Somewhere out in the wilderness near Jusenkyo}
‘Where am I at’ the silver haired girl asked herself.
“HELLO ANYONE OUT THERE?” the girl shouted out into the forest.
‘A light in the distance,” The girl thought as she started to run to the light.
----------------------{City near Jusenkyo}
“HIRYU SHOTEN HA,” Ranma shouted that the top of his lungs.
“Ranma I couldn’t do it,” Akane said with tears flowing freely, “I am scared Ranma. Why can’t you just blast the place in with Mokotaka-Bisha?”
“Because I can’t,” Ranma said in a small voice, “I have already tried.”
“Show me how to do it then,” Akane said, “how to project Ki like you and Ryoga does.”
“You sure, Akane, I think you already know how to do it, you can’t have not watched me do so much and not have picked it up?” Ranma said.
“FINE DON’T THEN I WILL JUST TRY SOME THING,” Akane shouted as she stick her arms out to her sides and began breathing in rhythm that her arms circled around her torso.
“What the hell are you doing, if you project your Ki in that arc you will destroy everything,” Ranma said in fear, “That is why we put our arms to our crest when summoning our Ki is to keep it from exploding everywhere.”
Akane begins to glow with a quivering blue light surrounding her, and penetrating her.
“Akane-chan stop you can’t control it like I can or Ryoga can,” Ranma shouted at Akane in fear, “Akane you will kill us and everyone within a block.”
“Ranma do you love me,” Akane asked Ranma as her voice was echoing dramatically and strangely calming.
“Akane-chan why do you ask that now,” Ranma asked with confusion starting to take his heart.
“I have to know Ranma, tell me the truth,” Akane said with the same voice.
“Hai Akane watakushi koi otaku,” Ranma said.
“As do I my wild horse I wish we had stopped fighting sooner. I love you Ranma, Goodbye,” Akane said and that echoed in Ranma’s heart harder then anything he had ever felt before.
“KIHAKU-DEBARI-HA (Soul Projection Wave),” Akane shouted.
‘Mai Kyuusaisha (My Savior),’ was the last thing Akane thought.
----------------------{Campsite near Jusenkyo}
“Hello is there anyone here,” the small girl with silver hair asked the surroundings.
“Hai there is young one,” said a man on the other side of the fire, “who might you be?”
“I am just lost and trying to find my oniisan, have you seen anyone, sir?” the young girl asked.
“Not in a while young one, last person I was a three Japanese youths one with a pony tail and pigtail and one with navy blue hair, two of them were girls and the girl with a pigtail, had red hair. Those three were headed into Jusenkyo.”
----------------------{Unknown}
“Akane, Akane, Akane open your eyes, I know you can hear me,” said an unfamiliar yet familiar voice.
Akane opened her eyes and she saw her family dojo but it had a white haze as if there were no shadows.
“Akane it has been a long time since I have seen you,” said that same voice as she felt a hand resting on her shoulder.
“Okaasan, is that you?” Akane asked as she turned around, “OKAASAN!”
“Hai Akane it is me,” Tendo Kimiko said to her ojousan as she had started hugging her closely.
--------------{Someplace in the forest outside of the city}
‘Damnit Akane we could have gotten out of there without you having to kill yourself,’ Ranma thought as he ran with tear-filled eyes, “WHY, WHY NOW WHEN WE HAD FINILLY BEEN HONEST WITH EACHOTHER.”
----------------------{Campsite}
“Would you like some thing to eat young one, maybe something to drink,” the man said offering the girl with silver hair.
“No I am not hungry or thirsty all I need right now is some warmth,” the girl said quickly.
“Well the fire is right there,” the man said, “What is your name by the way?”
“It is Saotome Aira,” the girl named Aira said, “Yours?
“Its Kuro Zenjin well you should eat something it looks like you have been running for at least have the night, you will need all the strength you can get,” The man said offering Aira some meat and water.
“I have been running for half the night, thanks,” Aira said as she accepted the food.
----------------------{Unknown}
After several minutes of tears.
“DAMNIT AKANE WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF THERE WITHOUT YOU HAVING TO KILL YOURSELF,” Akane heard ringing around with all the clarity as if she had been right besides Ranma, “WHY, WHY NOW WHEN WE HAD FINILLY BEEN HONEST WITH EACHOTHER.”
“Okaasan, what was that,” Akane asked her mother.
“That was Ranma in the present his thoughts and words, Akane do you know where you are,” Akane’s Mom asked her daughter.
“I am dead, because I am with you,” Akane answered.
“No my child you are wrong, as you are dead but not for long you will return to your lover’s side soon but you must first complete a test of heart here before the Almighty,” Kimiko told her daughter, “you willing gave your life for Ranma so he could save your friend Akira, Ranma’s oniisan. You have become a Silver Saint.”
----------------------{The Campsite}
“WHY, WHY…” a voice in the distance shouted.
“RAMNA WHERE ARE YOU AT,” Aira shouted back into the distance as she got up and started to run, ‘Damnit I am paralyzed,’ “You bastard you poisoned me, RANMA HELP ME.”
“Shutup bitch, you should have known from my name that I am not a nice person, I am Dark Saint,” The man named Kuro Zenjin said with coldness that would have frozen a small lake, “Now I am going to take my pleasure from you.”
‘Heat need heat, need to powerup, need my strength,” Aira thought to herself, “I WOULD RATHER BE THROWN IN YOUR FIRE YOU BASTARD.”
“Maybe afterwards if you bore me,” the Dark Saint said with a sinful smile.
‘Damnit to hell, there is nothing I can do unless I get some heat to give me my strength back.’ Aira thought.
“There is one other thing I put in the food, A poison that can only be cured if by having high levels of the hormone that sends pleasure to the brain, so if you wish to die fight against it, but if you want to live you will have to get into it, but ether way its going to happen and considering that I am the only one here and your paralyzed so you are unable to do it yourself.” The man smile seemed to darken the already dark world,” Are you going to fight against me, or are you going to give in?”
“Does it matter, you bastard,” Aira said full of spite, “I doubt that you could rape me if I was at full strength!”
“I bet I could you are just a weak girl, and if not oh well I don’t care because I have you now as I want you so it is going to happen, you might as well enjoy it!” He snapped back.
‘I can feel heat, must gather it must keep him at bay,’ Aira thought, “Anything Goes Martial Arts technique Senkou Dageki Heat Vortex,” Aira shouted as she started to pull the temperate down to her as the center point, ‘Damnit not enough, I would have to be in the fire to get it fast enough.’
“Impressive girl I should have known that you were a martial artist, in the Flash Strikes none the less as well,” The man laughed like a madman, “Now I want you even more.”
“NO OH KAMI-SAMA NO…” Aira started shouting hysterically as she felt him begin to felt of her breasts, ‘MUST BLOCK IT OUT.’
----------------------{Forest where Ranma is}
‘I don’t feel like going on anymore. This is what Ryoga must feel all the time.’ Ranma felt as though he had been hit the worst thing possible that could ever happen to him.
“HELP, HELP, HELP ME RANMA,” He heard in the distance.
‘I tried Akane I tried,’ Ranma thought.
‘WAKE UP BAKA THAT IS NOT MY VOICE SCREAMING,’ Akane’s voice went through his head.
“HELP ANYONE HEL” The woman’s voice in the distance went again.
----------------------{Campsite}
“HELP ANYONE HELumma,” Aira yelled as the man moved his hand over her mouth to quiet her.
“Your full of all sorts of energy aren’t you. Well I think its time for these to come off.” He said as he pulled her pants off, “Boy’s boxers how odd, but easier to get off.”
Now Aira lay with her body exposed to the world around her paralyzed and helpless. She just stared at the man named Dark Saint as she felt anything beyond what any normal girl feels in the same situation.
“Well I am tired of waiting for my release. I see that you are a natural silver haired girl, a true rare.” Kuro said with a stare that burned right through her flesh as he undressed himself.
He begin to feel of her sex, “My wet already, how naughty girl,”
‘OH KAMI-SAMA NO I CAN’T THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING, “AH!” ‘WHY DOES IT FEEL GOOD I HATE THIS BODY, I AM A MARTIAL ARTIST I CAN CONTROL MY BODY, BUT I, “AHA OH KAMI-SAMA STOP PLEASE ST…AH.”
“SHE SAID STOP YOU HENTAI FOR THIS YOU WILL DIE,” a voice of pure hatred snarled, “KACHU TENSHIN AMAGURIKEN!”
Kuro Zenjin was caught several times in the back by Ranma’s fists which held all of his anger and fear that he had been holding in for the last few days. The man that was known as Dark Saint collapsed onto the ground and lay twitching.
“Ma’am, are you alright,” Ranma looked at the silver haired girl lying at his feet reaching his hand down to help her up.
“RANMA OH THANK KAMI-SAMA. Oniisan thank Kami-sama you came he was about to ra…,” Aira stiffly stood up and hugged him with all her might and started to cry.
“Ma’am I have never seen you before,” Ranma said after she had calmed down.
“It’s me, Akira, I fell into Nyannichuan,” Akira-chan said with tearful eyes calling to Ranma’s.
“Akira, damnit, I should have never left you there alone,” Ranma said remembering the anxiety of first becoming crused himself.
“I just need he…he…heat,” Akira-chan said dizzily.
“Ok Oniisan, I’ll put you near the fire, he said as he took off his shirt and handed it to his brother/sister, “Sleep and get your strength.”
“Where is Akane, Ranma,” Akira-chan as her brother.
“She auh… died, Akira,” Ranma said with tears welling up in his eyes.
“Ohkamisama,” was Akira only response.
Akira-chan and Ranma sat next to the fire as they fell asleep crying on each others shoulder.
----------------------{Unknown}
“Akane you could not help them,” Kimiko soothed her daughter.
“But,” Akane started.
“No buts,” Kimiko interrupted her daughter, “Ranma and Akira are asleep you can commune with them.
“Really?” Akane asked with a rising hope.
“Hai, it is true, just focus on Ranma and Akira,” Kimiko said.
“Huh where are we now Ranma,” Akira asked Ranma as he woke him up.
“I don’t know Akira, hey wait a sec were we not in the forest, and you were a girl?” Ranma quickly answered with confusion.
“Ranma-kun, Akira-san,” Akane said.
“Akane,” Ranma and Akira said in unison, “We thought you were dead.”
“I am, Ranma I did die, but I am able to come back once I do a test for Kami-sama.” Akane said with sadness echoing in her voice.
“Akane no please come back with us,” Ranma pleaded Akane on his hands and knee, Akira was doing the same.
“I can’t Ranma I want to but I can’t, with all my heart I want to come with you to go home,” Akane cried to Ranma her voice becoming distance.
“AKANE COME BACK TO ME,” Ranma shouted and then fell into darkness.
“Ranma wake up we’re home,” a woman’s voice told Ranma.
“Akane, AKANE COME BACK.” Ranma shouted.
“Ranma wake up,” Akira-chan said still wearing Ranma’s shirt.
“What how did we get home?” Ranma asked Akira-chan.
“I don’t know Oniisan, I think Akane brought us here, Akira-chan said “Anyway we should find everyone and let them know what happened.
“We should probably get off the floor before Nabiki sees us like this and takes a picture,” Ranma said.
*CLICK* *FLASH*
“Damnit too late” Akira-chan said loudly.
[Author’s notes]
Yes I did mean to jump from the Neko Café to Jusenkyo; I did this because I wanted to have the story explain everything in the second chapter. Mainly because Ranma and Akira would have to explain everything that happened anyway, I thought it would be better reading if it was done like this. In the next chapter everything for the most part will be explained.
Sabayn (Sa-bay-n)
I am looking for help in proofreading and such if you are interested please leave a review about it and I will get with you ASAP. I would also like help getting the Japanese pronouns and words down right.
Please leave a review so that I know that if I have done a good job I can feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.
