A Ranma ½ fanfic
Densetsu no Ran 1 Honno Tai Kaze
(The legend of Chaos 1 Fire VS Wind)
Morning in the Nerima ward of Japan, just the daily routine in this rather unusual town of sorts, the local shops were opening and a old woman on a random street corner on cue threw some water out onto the curve as if it were some daily ritual. Yet our focus shifts to a large house which holds the Tendou dojo for indiscriminate grappling and the occupant's within its wooden walls.
Around this time of day a black ponytailed male youth was waking up to the smell of freshly cooked breakfast downstairs in the kitchen however unlike most young men the universe loved to play the screw you card on him. This was the beginning of a day in the life of Ranma Saotome, Heir to the Saotome Branch of Indiscriminate grappling.
Quietly Ranma slipped out of his futon and slipped towards the bathroom to perform the daily washing up rituals I.E Washing teeth, a bath and some clean clothes; however the thoughts running through Ranma's mind plainly simple to try and find a cure for his curse which although beneficial caused him more trouble than good. What was his curse, well he turned into a beautiful buxom red haired woman that attracted the fancy of some of the men of Nerima mainly Tatewaki Kuno, but that's for another part of this chapter.
“That lazy fat panda is always getting me into trouble and everything…” Ranma grumbled to himself only to hear a soft motherly voice from downstairs, from the kitchen none the less, it was the eldest Tendou sister Kasumi who was wearing an apron over her clothes. Ever since Kasumi's mother passed away to causes unknown Kasumi took up the mantle of a motherly figure.
“Ohayoo Kasumi-Chan!” Ranma said as he saw her walking out of the kitchen only to give a small smile and wave to him. Knowing that besides herself Ranma and Genma were the first to be up so early in the morning usually for sparring practice that usually turn into a who can spike who into the Koi pond match.
“Ohayoo Ranma-Kun, could you please tell your father that breakfast is ready??” She asked and despite the collateral damage to come how could he refuse a request from in his point of view the only sane person in this household.
“Sure Kasumi-Chan!” Ranma said before heading back to the room he and his father who was lying on his back snoring loudly said before kicking the poor fat bastard.
“Oi panda wake up!” Ranma would growl out as a large sweat tear formed on the back of his head as Genma grumbled at the kick and muttered something about food and Ranma as a price, that did it as a few seconds later Genma was punted out of the room window and landing in the family koi fish pond.
He then emerged as a soaking wet panda wearing a bandana and a white gi growling angrily and holding up a sign that read “You'll pay for that boy!” as Panda-Genma jumped up into the air while Ranma just smirked only to crack his knuckles and do a small squat to loosen up his muscles.
“I can use the exercise old man!” as Genma and Ranma proceeded into the daily morning sparring session, which so happened to wake up the youngest daughter of the Tendou family, Akane who was wearing a pair of grey and yellow pair of pajamas. Her hands went to scratch her deep bluish black as a slow yawn escaped from her lips.
“Mnngh they're at it this early in the morning?!” Akane grumbled out as she jumped out of her bed and slowly trudged towards the bathroom to wash up for the day ahead as well.
However Akane's thoughts were of her situation with Ranma at this current time, granted that they were both thrown into a awkward marriage preparation no thanks to there parents who wanted the martial art's school's that they created to be united, not caring for her feelings as well as her own goal's and ambitions yet as much as she tried to deny it. Akane did have some forms of affection for Ranma, but being the stubborn one that she is; Akane would be caught dead before letting those words slip out of her mouth.
“Ranma that baka hentai” Akane muttered as she sunk into the warm bath water to soak and let her mind drift on the ever shifting sea of thought's within her mind.
Back outside Ranma and Genma continued their morning sparring session, which abruptly ended today in a draw as Genma and Ranma preformed simultaneous roundhouse kicks at each other landing square in the chest sending flying towards the air, and Ranma dead on towards the Koi pond, only to surface as a girl with fire red hair and spitting out a fish.
“Whaddya do that for huh you fat and lazy panda!?!?” Onna-Ranma yelled out in anger while shaking her fist before pulling herself out of the koi pond, as she coughed once more.
“Ugh… I hope I didn't swallow a fish this time now I got to go to the furo and wash up again!” Ranma groaned out only to grumble as her clothes were dripping wet.
“Good for nothing lazy panda” she muttered while walking back into the house dripping wet, cold and now her stomach voiced it's own frustrations as it demanded to be stuffed full of Kasumi's well cooked food. But first things first another dip in the furo and then food, well at least until Ranma bumped into Akane just as she was coming out of the bathroom wearing her blue and white school uniform.
“Ooff!” she grumbled only to see Ranma sitting on her butt and scratching her head. “Geeze watch where yer going you uncute ugly tomboy!” Ranma stated only to easily avoid a kick to her face.
“And good morning to you too Ranma ” Akane replied as she tried kicking her again her foot only met air as Ranma easily avoided Akane's first barrage of the day only to slip into the bathroom as if Akane was a simple white belt in the martial art's which infuriated Akane's rather deep sense of pride as a martial artist. Granted she did have a wealth of potential that was still untapped but how could she bring it out??
That was another question plaguing her innermost mind, Shampoo, Kodachi and Ukyo three other young women that called themselves Ranma's fiancé could clearly defend themselves and win a fight but Akane she always had to be rescued like some damsel in distress and this happened repeatedly, every conflict, every major fight she either had to be rescued or bailed out like a weakling who bit off more than she could chew.
Akane could feel her innermost fury boiling over once more but she had to keep her temper in check anger was an emotion that clouded judgment and blinded the truth from one's eyes.
“Ranma you jerk!” Akane yelled out as she punched the wall in anger which left a small indentation of her fist yet in the bathroom the furo lightly shook due to the force of her punch as Ranma now a male again thanks to the warm water blinked only to hear Akane's heavy footsteps.
“Now what's her problem?? Women, I'll never understand them” Ranma groaned out as he relaxed and soaked in the warm waters of the furo for a while before hopping out and cleaning himself off only to emerge in a pair of clean clothes before running down the stairs towards the kitchen like a bat out of hell to eat Kasumi's home cooked breakfast before it got cold or Genma ate his share, preferably the latter choice. A few minutes later Nabiki the middle sister came in to join in at breakfast, yet while Ranma was eating like a fiend Akane was taking short and slow bites.
Something was on her mind then the sounds of breakfast were broken when Kasumi noticed something somewhat out of the ordinary, to say the least.
“Oh my I think we may have some new neighbors??” The eldest Tendou said only to look out a window and much to the surprise of everyone there were moving trucks and people lugging boxes and other items into the house across the street and one house down to the right of there own residence.
“Someone is moving here of all places? Either they're crazy or it must be the cheap housing thanks to Ranma and company” Nabiki said a bit suppressed yet her calculating mind was already at work forming plans, schemes, and numerous amounts of blackmail opportunities.
“Nabiki-Chan…” Kasumi said in a bit of a woeful tone, but honestly not surprised at the current train of Nabiki's thought. She did love money and any method on gaining the thing that ruled the world and was the root of all evil while a slight chuckle escaped Nabiki's lips as she just idily daydreamed about the the increased flow of capital toward's her name.
Yet in classic Ranma fashion he just blurted out. “If they're martial artist's I bet I can take them no problem.” Ranma said as his pride and boasting started and they haven't left for school yet.
“Thanks for the breakfast Onee-chan.” Akane said only to thwack Ranma upside his head for his prideful and boasting comment that Ranma said not even five seconds ago, Akane then grabbed her bento and went to get her shoes on so she can try to get out of the door and towards school on time today.
“Ow! What was that for Akane?!” Ranma growled as he got up and grabbed his own bento and school pack only to follow her out the door towards school. Shortly after Nabiki made her way off towards school as well, as Kasumi shook her head when thinking about Akane's plight,
“Oh Akane…” Kasumi muttered as she went to pick up the dirty dishes thus continuing her daily routine.
On the way to school Ranma did his usual balance training by walking on a fence post, his school bag slung over his shoulder as Akane marched on ahead trying her best to ignore him, and after a few silent minutes, Ranma attempted to break the uncomfortable and unnerving silence only to see the school gates in sight, as well as the usual crowd of people there hoping to beat Akane to try and win a date with her despite the apparent fact that she was engaged to Ranma.
then a small preditorial smirk formed on her face as she raced on ahead to Akane this was the perfect way of relieving any sort of pent up anger and tension built up in her body. If she coudn't tag Ranma, all the other hapless lovesick guy's will do even though she did feel sorry for them...slightly.
Ranma jumped on the gate only to palm his face at the sight, dreading the usuall daily one sided massacre that occured as routinly as Akane first started her scolastic carreer at Furrinkan.
“Those poor buffoons don't know how pissed she is today and Akane is out for blood.” Ranma muttered as the body's started to fly as Akane mowed through the sea of bodies like a character from the video game dynasty warriors. Yet as always in the middle was Tatewaki Kuno, also known as the blue thunder of Furrikan high, dressed in his usual set of black hakama and a white top, a wooden sword was in his hands as he went through his usual claim of loving Akane and the pig tailed girl in red, which made Ranma shiver in slight disgust and fear.
Then again he was somewhat sane unlike his sister Kodachi who was nothing short being classified as criminally insane, despite the usual ranting of love and such devotion and adoration, Kuno's voice took a far more serious tone as when Akane got to him finally he pointed his sword at a young man who easily weaved his way through the fighting crowd. Evading a strike from a junior classman of the Kendo club with an sidestep to his right.
The stranger was wearing a gunmetal grey hooded jacket with black pant's and shoes. Mainley due to him not having the standard school uniform yet. His hands were in his pockets as he just turned around slightly to give Kuno a questionable look before seeing the senior Kendoist stepping foward towards him.
“You there halt I say! I saw you walking here today, you are the one who just recently moved by the household of the fair Tendou maiden yes?” Kuno would ask in a firm tone yet the new student turned around slightly just barley facing him.
“Yes I just moved here, how did you know that so quickley and is that a problem sempai?” He asked in a rather confused tone. Well, he and his family moved to Nerima just two days ago but they arrived at the house at night yet the stranger didn't know that despite Nerima being a small city, news travels fast just like a small town in America where everyone know's eachoter's name. He blinked in a rather confused manner only to see Kuno taking several more steps in a brisk fashion until they were a few paces apart. Two inches seperating the two young men causing the air
“The problem is that you might want to court with one of the women who by the will of divine providence are destined to be mine!” Kuno added on as a crowd began to form around Kuno and the new student who took off his hood to reveal his pale emerald green hair yet the main thing that people looked at was the massive scar over his right eye which caused the crowd that formed to watch Akane's rampage to mutter and whisper about him. Yet the green haired youth shook his head and sighed before he opened his mouth to speak with a heavy sigh.
“ Ok, first of all I've just got here and I don't know anybody and look, I don't want any trouble I don't even know the girl you're talking about so why don't we just let this pass by. There's no reason for blind assumption, and judging by the clothes you must use some form of kenjutsu as a fellow martial artist, let's stop this here… If you progress this issue to physical matters I will defend myself, and to be honest this is turning into an unnecessary fight. And I hate unnecessary fighting, it defeat's the whole purpose of the martial art's to begin with.” The green haired newcomer said to Kuno in a calm yet somewhat quiet tone.
Akane however stood there a bit awestruck, this was the one who moved nearby her house, and he didn't hit on her or anything and he looked like a true follower of the way of the martial arts. Something that a rare few in this city can call themselves these days, a flush of red formed on Akane's face before seeing Ranma landing next to her, having seeing the commotion from his perch at the school gate when Akane ran the morning gauntlet of people trying to win her heart over.
Yet some students were muttering and talking amongst themselves, while others were trying to instigate a fight between Kuno and the mysterious quiet spoken new student.
“Whoa Kuno is pissed off man” “No kidding anyone that look's at Akane the wrong way while he's around pisses Kuno-Sempai off!” Some students said before laughing while others were just sizing him up.
“So who do you think will win, the new guy or Kuno??” Another student asked one of his friends.
“Are you kidding, I'm waiting for Ranma to jump into this, then it'll be a fatal three way free for all just like in American wrestling!!” Another pair of students said before the new student turned around and began to walk towards the school's front doors. To Kuno that was a spit to his face as a kendoist. His eyebrow twitched as he pointed his bokken at the new student who stoped as he heard Kuno speaking to him once more. The tone of voice he carried was now seething with the intent to fight if not maime the upstart who just brushed him off.
“Clothes do not make the warrior, skill does, what's your name for I challenge you!” Kuno yelled out as the other palmed his face and sighed heavily only to turn around and cross his arms at Tatewaki.
“Ugh.. it's my first day here and I don't want to make a bad reputation or any for that matter and if you want to know my name It's Date, Ryuji Date. So please sempai let's not try to drag this out any further and go about our own separate business.” Ryuji would say as he heard several people booing at him for his reluctance to come to blows so quickly, unlike the other fighting citizens of Nerima.
To add onto the fire several of the students were chanting Kuno's name to inflate his already oversized ego to new heights which brought a flat look of confusion and belwiderment on Ranma's face.
“Good grief, people actually cheering for Tatewaki now what's next?!” Ranma groaned out in annoyance. His gaze turning towards Akane who just gave him a flat look
“You had to ask didn't you Ranma?!” Akane growled as she pointed towards Nabiki's lackeys who were taking bets on who will win the fight bundle's of Yen were in their hand's as student's even a teacher or two shelled out money despite the unfair split of 70/30 in favor of the bookie, the drive to make profit did overrule any form of common sense.
“Listen and hear Date! They all chant my name as if I'm there hero!! I Tatewaki Kuno the blue thunder of Furrikan will answer you and draw my sword!” Kuno yelled out as Ryuji just growled . The bile building up inside of his throat as he took a step back to get a bit of distance as well as not being so close.
“Listen the name is Kuno right?? Why can't you see that they're just provoking you! Egging you on to try and fight me, I mean come on, can't we talk about this like sensible people here?!” Ryuji yelled out before Kuno ran forwards and jumped into the air for an overhead slash towards Ryuji's head.
“STRIKE!!!” Kuno yelled out as he swung at Ryuji who quickly threw his bag at the first person he saw, ironically it was Akane.
“Hold it for me please!” He yelled out before stepping backwards again and heaving his hands up over his head in the form of the boxing cross arm block to defend against Kuno's opening strike. The bare tip of the wooden blade striking against his guard.
“I've warned you but you had to let your ego take hold!” Ryuji yelled out as he ran forwards, to knock Kuno off balance, Ryuji's left hand swung into motion to grab Kuno's sword wielding arm while lunging forwards to thrust his right elbow straight into Kuno's chest with enough force to knock him down towards the ground.
But Kuno quickly recovered as he rolled backwards and got back on his feet his hand clutching his chest for a brief moment. Ryuji then assumed an offensive grappling stance, his feet were near shoulder length apart and his right hand was further out than his left but unlike Kuno who remained stationary for a second, Ryuji started to move in a clockwise circling motion, slowly getting closer towards Kuno. A grim and deadly serious look now replaced the calm and collected face Ryuji had a few minutes ago.
Tatewaki held his sword up, just like in the classic samurai movies of old as he took three small steps, trying to turn this fight into his favor with mid range combat, which suited his style of Kendo rather perfectly.
“He's certainly skilled for an amateur, he must use some form of wrestling as his method of fighting, no matter one good hit and the victory is mine!” Kuno thought to himself as he took another step forwards this time he went for a foward thrusting stab aimed at Ryuji's chest, with an eye for an eye in mind.
“Bad move on Kuno's part” Ranma said his years of fighting expertise coming to bear as Akane could only nod as they both observed the fight as it unfolded.
“Kuno-Sempai is trying to turn this into a mid range fight and is underestimating his opponent” Akane added on only to see Ryuji step forwards and use his left arm to parry the thrust away to his left side while his right hand grabbed Kuno's collar only to pull him up into a one armed clinch hold only to start driving his knees into his chest six times as his left hand now took a firm hold of Kuno's waist. Then the crowd yelled and cheered fanatically as Ryuji heaved Kuno up into the air only to slam him down with a classic textbook grade suplex.
The sound of Kuno's impact on the ground made several people Ranma & Akane included recoil as they watched Kuno roll away, his back arched upwards into the air as he coughed and groaned in agony. Ryuji just stood there for a moment.
“Get him to the infirmary” Ryuji said only to hear Kuno standing up, his breathing was ragged and somewhat labored from the force of impact from both the suplex and knee's that were driven into his body.
Ryuji then got a swift lesson in fighting in Nerima, Allway's expect things to grow worse.
A kendo student would move his way through the crowd only to Yell out. “Here Sempai!” as he threw his bokken was thrown to Kuno who grabbed it with ease. et Ranma and Akane both voiced there protest.
“What kind of a man are you huh Kuno?! You can't beat him with one so you got to use two?!” Ranma yelled out in anger as he felt the urge to just jump in and wreck shit up but, this was Ryuji's fight so he stood down for now.
As for Akane she was livid and red with anger as before voicing out her frustrations having being denied her daily beating session therapy with the majority of the male students of Furrinkan Kuno Inculded.
“Don't let him beat you kick his butt!!” however this would only drive Tatewaki to laugh in a near insane manner that took some cue's from his sister as he then assumed a new stance. His swords were held up in a X over his chest as he stepped forwards.
“Samurai were known for using two swords, and I was hoping to save this until the fateful day that I make you and the pig tailed girl mine Akane!” Kuno would say as Ryuji cracked his neck slowly. Playtime was over
“Look like it's time to really get serious.” Ryuji said as his right hand was held upwards while his left hand balled up into a fist which was right by his waist line, his feet were spread to shoulder length as his left eye narrowed at Tatewaki, yet the wind began to blow oddly which caused a bit of a confused look on Akane's face while Ranma, just looked on with intrigue.
“This guy is serious and he's a good fighter to boot. Maybe he's worth a challenge after all? And the wind is blowing oddly, what's that guy up to??" Ranma mentally inquired to himself as he too noticed the odd direction the wind was blowing.
Some of the students who where crowding around Ryuji and Kuno were talking as well as sweating bullets; the tension was growing thick to the point that everyone could feel the pressure.
“This is just like in the comics and video games!” One student said as Kuno took a step forward. “Allow me to send you to hell!” He yelled out as he moved his swords, the blade in his right hand was vertical while the one in his left was horizontal forming a T shape.
“Behold my ultimate attack the essense of my samurai swordsmanship! Cho Hissatsu! Aoi Hekireki Nito-Ryuu Kiri!” Kuno yelled out as his swords then broke from their T shape formation as he ran towards Ryuji as he swung his right handed sword first.
A pale eletric blue trail of energy was fainly visable to everyone who was a ki adept. Yet for all of his training Kuno's killer was promptly countered with a vertical knife hand chop from Ryuji's left hand , while the right swiftly flew to parry and deflect Kuno's left handed swing which was then followed up by a backwards somersault kick to his jaw, yet that kick had a trail of howling emerald green energy following that powerful blow .
Kuno was sent back towards a wall only to watch him slump to his rear. A large cut was on his Gi top and blood was dripping from Kuno's mouth as he glared daggers at Ryuji, who just stood there for a moment only to shake his head.
“Don't carry this on any further Kuno-Sempai, you're beaten just let this go, we're going to be late for class and Isn't the first thing a samurai learns is when not to fight when the battle is not in his favor?" Ryuji pleadingly said to Kuno who stood up slowly up stubborny once more.
“T…This is not over! I will defeat you for the sake of my honor and for my loves who give me strength!” Kuno spat out in defiance as he would assume his stance for a moment then run towards Ryuji who gritted his teeth before growling in fustration.
“Then allow me to end this for the both of us!” Ryuji growled out as his lone eye began to glow a dark shade of emerald as the wind swirled around his left right foot as he threw a kick, which launched a small crescent shaped blast of his own energy intermixed with wind which knocked Kuno back slightly, Ryuji's foot would touch the ground, as the wind started to swirl around him. Ryuji's arms would cross his chest as Ryuji could feel his own energy combining with the very wind itself.
Everyone watched as he jumped into the air and curled up into a ball as emerald green energy swirled around his feet and the winds propelled him like a speeding bullet towards Kuno who just then regained his balance but it was too late as the last thing Kuno saw was Ryuji above him, his feet glowing with energy
“Oryyaaaaaaaa!” Ryuji yelled out as he uncurled and delivered a powerful flying side kick to Kuno's chest, a large green blast of energy would suddenly go off magnifiying the rather intense attack. All the force was focused towards Kuno who would then fly off like a limp rag doll.
He then landed with a loud -Crash- As his body made an imprint on the wall. When Ryuji landed on the ground he looked at his opponent who just fell on his face out cold, then Ryuji turned his sights to the kendo club who just stood there in shock and horror.
“You're his Kouhai's aren't you!? Help him up and take him towards the infirmary now!” Ryuji yelled out as he would look around to see several people applauding him for the fight, as well as hearing his name being chanted he was the victor.
A look of utter self loathing and disgust formed on his face as he ignored the people who wanted to congratulate him on his first fight and showing his display of martil art's prowess.
“This is wrong...” Ryuji muttered as he saw Akane heading towards him to hand him his bag.
“H…Here you go” Akane just stammered while Ryuji took his bag and lightly bowed.
“Thank you for holding it for me.” Ryuji said as he ran inside the school building, so much for a nice and peaceful first day of school at his new home town. But yet today in all the classed the Pre School fight was the talk of the town.
In Nabiki's class she was busy counting her money she gained from the poor fool's who even thought of betting on poor Tatewaki. Now she had to find out information about him every last detail. Then again, when you're a con artist you need to know everything about the poor sap you're blackmailing. Several minutes later In Akane's and Ranma's classroom Hinako-Sensei was busy writing something down in Kanji before clearing her throat as the young child teacher called for everyone's attention.
“Class I know that you're all still talking about the fight just a few minutes ago, but regardless we have a new student to welcome you can come in now!” She would say as to Akane's and Ranma's shock if not the entire class Ryuji walked in before turning and bowing to the class.
“Good morning everyone, I am Ryuji Date, it's a pleasure to meet every last one of you all, my hobbies are soccer, martial arts, bike riding and computers. And please don't ask me about my right eye, I'll rather not talk about it. Ryuji said as he bowed once more to the class.
“You can sit right next to Ms.Tendou” Hinako-sensei would point to the empty seat right by Akane who by now was beet red with shock. He was going to sit next to her, yet some of the student's were whispering about how this will change things, as well as hopefully a fight between Ryuji and Ranma.
The two young martial artist's upon common observation were complete opposites, while Ranma was loud, Ryuji seemed quiet, Ranma was known for moving all over the place, Ryuji's preference was to stay at one spot. Ranma however just looked at Ryuji while his mind was already contemplating counter moves for the ones that he saw Ryuji use in his earlier fight with Kuno.
But for Ranma he had to fight against him, his competitive nature wouldn't stand to let a challenge go by without crossing his fist against Ryuji's at least once. Sure he had his share of challengers that can and can't put up a descent fight. And from basic observation Ryuji was leaning towards the column of those that can. However on Akane's side of the field she was still in a bit of shock and surprise.
But there were lessons to be learned in the classroom, her gaze then shifted to Ranma chair as he reclined, in his usual indifferent manner.
“Typical...” Akane muttered as she paid attention to the lesson's Hinako-Sensei was giving.
Time seemed to flow fast in that classroom, as the bell's for lunch break rang Ryuji would move to grab his bag which held his lunch hand walk out of the classroom, seeing a place of quiet and solitude for lunch, and he found that place as he ventured to the school roof, giving him a clear view of the entire school campus.
Sitting down on a ledge Ryuji opened his bag to take out a bento box as well as a case of meatball dumplings as well as a large bottle of water to wash the food down. And so he ate in silence, or so he thought as he heard footsteps as well as the door opening as he saw Akane walking up to him holding her own bento with her.
“Hey, do you mind if I ate lunch with you? I mean I err umm…” Akane stammered as Ryuji just nodded. “By all means Tendou-San” Ryuji said as he resumed eating his own bento.
Akane would smile slightly as she sat next to him and began eating her own lunch, for a while before starting to stir up idle conversation.
“Um… Date-San, do you have any brothers or sisters??” She asked a bit shyly, yet Ryuji just shook his head slightly allready antcipating the questions to start being flung towards him.
“I have two older sisters I'm the youngest out of the bunch if you're wondering.” Ryuji said as Akane's face slightly lit up with a small smile as she started to notice the common ground that was slowley starting to form for the both of them. Akane would have loved to have a friend who wasn't a girl or trying to woo her into the sheet's.
“The same for me, well the middle sister in my family goes here as well, what about yours??” Akane said as she tried her damned hardest not to blush, yet her heart was going through another maelstrom of emotion. Here she is engaged to a young man that even though she does care for there are so many negatives about the whole thing the positives are few and rare.
“My older sister's are both in college; one of them is going for the performing arts, while the other is going for engineering but they stick around to pick on me as usual well the oldest does.” Ryuji said quietly as he started eating his dumplings, but now with the idle chit chat through Akane decided it was time to press her already abysmal luck further.
“You said, your hobby is martial art's I watched your fight with Kuno-Sempai earlier today, and to be honest I think you're rather skilled, but just what styles you use?” Akane asked while her heart skipped a beat while the short wait seemed unbearable.
Ryuji would look at Akane for a moment her question was rather reasonable and she appeared like she knew a few things but he felt like she was poking and prodding him, looking for any form of reaction as if he was going to be dissected. His mental computer went through various scenarios and the best one popped to the top of the list -Just answer short and briefly-
“Well… If you really want to know I guess I'll spill. I mainly use Karate with some influences of Grappling, Kung-Fu, Muay-Thai kickboxing and some military combat arts. “Ryuji answered only to take another dumpling into his mouth. Hoping that would sedate her curious streak, for now.
Yet in all honesty, it made Akane want to know more about him and his family. Questions started to form in her mind at a rather fast pace.
“So…does your family practice martial art's or is It just you? She asked a question in some way's Ryuji didn't want to answer at all. But, again the mental computer that was his brain gave a different result Suggestion: Give a short answer.
“Well my mother and sisters they are also martial artist's and they helped with my training, so what about you? and is this turning into a interview or something isn't it?? you don't look like with the school paper well if the school has one Tendou-San?” Ryuji asked before clearing his throat hoping to flip the script and put her on the receiving end of the barrage of questions.
Now this time Akane blinked as the entire situation was flipped so that she had to answer it made her blush a deeper shade of red for a few moments. Yet she took a slow but deep breath before speaking herself.
“Well, I'm the only martial artist in my family allthough it's done more harm than good no thank's to my father who's also the head of my dojo which is empty but we try to recruit whenever there is a oppertunity, yet the event's that I'm involved in sadly scare's away all of the potential students." Akane would say as she hung her head low somewhat. Yet Ryuji noticed her hands were shaking for several moments.
"Tendou-San?" Ryuji said before seeing Akane looking at him and just giving a small smile. "Dont worry about it Date-Kun. She said as Ryuji idily blinked, she was hiding something, but it was best not to pry into it until he got to know her better.
Yet the bell for afternoon classes began to ring as Ryuji would finish his lunch with Akane, the small Q/A session just made the time fly by.
"I guess I'll see you later Tendou-San?" Ryuji said as he headed back towards the school, leaving Akane alone on the school roof as she looked up at the sky as if she were daydreaming before heading downstairs back into the school building shortly after him not wanting to be late to her class. Her thoughts were more confused than ever.
After a long but somewhat dull and uneventful afternoon string of classes, school at Furinkan was let out for the day. Ryuji was allready walking out the door his backpack slung over one shoulder as his other hand was in his pants pocket ready to head home by his lonesome, or so he thought as he heard some footsteps behind him causing him to turn around as he saw that black haired pig tailed youth walking on the railing before jumping only to land in front of him.
"Yo." Ranma would say as Ryuji just blinked for a moment his mind processing his identity.
"So you're Ranma Saotome,what can I do for you?" Ryuji said looking at him dead on in the face. Well it was a long first day of school and he wanted to go home to just do his homework for a while before heading out to learn the lay of the land.
"You're good, Not many people can honestly beat up Kuno-Sempai." Ranma said before having a bit of a grin form on his face. "So Ryuji, how many fight's have you been in? Ranma asked getting to the point. Sizing up the competition. Ryuji however groaned as he palmed his face. A sense of aggrivation ran through his veins.
"Saotome-San I don't get into fights. If that's what you're thinking, I admit competition is healthy and promotes development of one's skills. Although, you seem the very competitive type and I noticed you were sizing me up earlier." Ryuji had said as he dropped his backpack already anticipating the blows were coming sooner than he had liked.
Ranma just smirked as he took off his book bag and squatted a bit. He was staring to slightly move around getting rid of some of the excess energy that built up inside of his body.
"Maybe it's not every day that good fighters come to this place and I was going to challenge you anyway." Ranma said before Ryuji got into a neutral stance to shift into either offense or defense while Ranma took an odd stance that just screamed some form of Kung-Fu that placed his left foot forwards. Hoping to throw Ryuji off guard. Yet as usual everyone who was nearby the two young fighting youth's got the hell out of dodge especially when it was a fight ranma was involved in for massive amounts of collateral property damage will ensure.
"Let's see what you got!" Ranma yelled out as he took the intitave as he jumped into the air as if he was ascending into flight which did catch Ryuji off guard.
"What the hell!?" He yelled before barley jumping out of the way of a kick that caused a hole to form in the ground. "That's one hell of a trick...” Ryuji muttered before reassuming his neutral stance before pressing foward to shift the fight to his pace, as he threw a roundhouse kick with a powerful hooking motion to Ranma's left side or so Ranma would think as Ryuji altered his kick from a roundhouse to a foward lunge kick that was barley parried, then they both threw a straight punch aimed dead on for each other's chest's."
"Damn, he's good, very good! This is turning out to be a bit more fun than I thought! This might be worth the challange!" Ranma thought as he pressed forward, this time his fists began to fly like supersonic blurs as he used his chestnut's on a roasting fire punch technique.
"Ok, this guy's no pushover as much as I hate to admit it!" Ryuji mentally thought as he threw his own series of punches which had green trails of energy around them. The flurry of punches began to go faster as it became a literal struggle of powers. Ranma's proud fiery fighting aura made itself known while Ryuji kept his suppressed at least until he took a clean hit in the jaw causing him to stumble back.
Ranma had created the opening he needed as he ran in to put this fight on his term's... a very big mistake, Ryuji's eye glew that same shade of green as earlier as his own fighting aura which took form of a storm of wind grew and took form around his body.
"HOWLING GRIFFIN!" Ryuji yelled as his aura took the shape of the mythic beast of legend as he delivered a overhead axe kick dead on into Ranma's head, the wind energy surrounding his leg exploded on impact as Ranma's shirt was shredded to pieces and several cut's and lacerations formed on his face and chest. Yet Ryuji was fairing no better, as blood was seeping out of his nose. He also had pain's in his side possibly bruised ribs.
Akane however was walking home later than usuall, as she had to preform the daily cleaning of the classroom today. Yet instead of the usuall ho hum, her heart was filling with a bit of dread. The fight earlier today had driven Ranma's competitive streak into overdrive. She knew he was already forming plans and picturing counter attacks against Ryuji.
"Oh Kami-Sama... Please dont let this happen" Akane said before freezing in midstep... She was sensing Ranma's battle pressure. "Oh no, oh no, oh no!" She muttered as her small walk became a jog, which evolved into a full on sprint in a few short minutes she arrived to see Ryuji and Ranma jumping into the air and making this fight into a full on aerial battle, yet she could do nothing but stand there and watch as they soared like birds of prey.
Punches were thrown; Kick's were parried, loud kiya's and combat yells were exchanged as the combatants made the sky their new battleground. They were both proving to be near equal's however Aerial combat was Ranma's forte as he threw Ryuji down onto the ground only to land shortly after watching Ryuji roll on the pavement. Yet he was somewhat out of breath.
"Hahh...Hahh... Give up Ryuji?" Ranma asked as he would stand up. Blood seeping from his lip as he resumed his srance.
"You started this, and I'll finish this." He panted out only to spit some blood out of his mouth before reassuming his battle stance as his own aura emerged. Unlike Ranma's which was blaring in a dark blue like flame, Ryuji's was more subtle and ever shifted like a breeze in the afternoon.
Ranma's face formed into his usual pride filled smirk whenever he faced a rather difficult challange, here was someone who could last a few rounds.
“Heh, are ya enjoying this as much as I am Ryuji?!” Ranma spoke out. But Ryuji just ran forward with the intent of finishing this fight here and now as his right hand began to glow. However Ranma simply exhaled, keeping a cool head as cold air began to swirl around his own right hand. Akane however snapped out of her transfixed stupor as her mind processed the recent information to form up a simple conclusion.
-Stop this fight NOW!- Akane ran like hell towards Ranma and Ryuji and seemingly out of nowhere a large yellow mallet was in her hands, one thought raced in Akane's mind.
"It's Baka bashing time!"
And so Akane let out a growl before bellowing out out her classic line in the loudest, most angry manner that was possible that would make any other person cower in fear. Yet in Hokkaido, a tiny little piglit with a black and yellow bandana was internally snickering for some strange reason.
"RANMA NO BAKA!" She yelled out that everyone in the ward of Nerima save a certain few instictivley flinched at the loud bellow of hatred, Ranma turned only to yelp in slight shock and horror as he was wacked with such force that Ranma could make it to Shinjuku in five minutes tops.
Ryuji would skid to a stop as he saw Akane finish the fight, before wincing as the energy surrounding his right hand dispersed Akane would turn to see Ryuji holding his hand as his own blood dripped onto the sidewalk.
"Ryuji?!" She yelled out and ran to him before a loud -SPLASH- was heard as Ranma landed in the nearby waterway's.
"Are you ok Ryuji?" Akane would say as she looked at his hand a bit worried.
"I'm fine Tendou-San and do you attack your boyfriend like that regulary?" Ryuji asked as he watched Akane turn beet red before opening her mouth to give a loud verbal protest.
"He's not my boyfriend that is, like I agh!!" She would growl out before seeing Ryuji running towards the area where Ranma landed.
"Hey Ryuji?! Wait a moment!" Akane yelled out mentally kicking herself in the ass for hitting Ranma so damned far and so hard, while another part just relished in the feeling of seeing Ranma in pain.
Akane and Ryuji hoped over the fence to see Ranma surfacing but this time as a rather buxom red haired beautiful young woman. Ryuji could do nothing but blush. Her tattered soaking wet clothes were sticking onto her body like a second skin and he saw a bit of her nipple.
"Uhh?" Ryuji muttered before barley avoiding a punch from a soaking wet Onna-Ranma as he turned to look at Akane. "Ok, either I took a very hard hit to the head or is that who I think that is, and there's a very long and crazy story to this I take it??" Ryuji had to ask. To which Onna-Ranma responded
"You dont know the half of the crazy stuff that happen's here. Count on that one!" Ranma said as Akane just sighed and nodded in a solem agreement.
"This place is far from normal to say the least, but we need to get your hand checked out for any serious injury or something Ryuji-Kun." Akane said before blushing slightly after noticing what words came out of her mouth.
"I'll be fine Tendou-San seriously, this has happened to me before and I..." Ryuji didn't finish his sentance as Akane cracked her knuckles letting him know that she had the final say in this manner.
Ryuji had a bead of sweat form behind his head as he turned to Onna-Ranma and spoke,
"Is she allway's this eager?" Ryuji asked before Akane grabbed the both of them. "C'mon!" She said as she walked towards the Tendou Dojo with the other two in tow. That small smile returning to her face as Ryuji and Onna-Ranma just stared at eachother for a second.
"She's worse than this Ryuji" Onna-Ranma grumbled before yelping in pain as another argument between the two of them started while Ryuji kept silent not wanting to add fuel to the powder keg inferno that was blazing at the current moment.
'Well, at least this place is... interesting to say the least." Ryuji muttered as the three of them walked towards the Tendou Dojo

Episode 2 Preview:
Ryuji was flabbergasted by the story he had just finished hearing and in his mind the logic didn't make any form of damned sense. This couldn't be right at all and there was no sense of truth to it either and in utter seriousness, it was all messed up beyond all belief.
"So let me get this straight, your father and you signed a agreement while you were just a infant stating that you will become a man amongst men and a superior martial artist, or else you both will commit seppuku?! That's just straight screwed up stuff right there. Ryuji spoke before hearing a bit of laughter as he looked up to see Nabiki with a small and wry grin on her face.
"Trust me, Date-Kun after a few day's here. You'll believe anything and everything just watch, wait and see."
Ryuji and Ranma were coughing and hacking as they both fell victim to Kodachi's paralysis powder the movement in their limbs slowly stopping as an overall sensation of numbness washed over their bodies.
"Ohohohoh! Now I have you my lovely stallion, and a new pet to boot! Today is my lucky day!" Kodachi would say only to go into another bout of her soul shattering laugh until she got dropkicked in the face as someone else entered the fray.
"I heard your laughing from a mile away." A voice would say as Ryuji opened his eye to see his oldest sister Momoko walking and moving her arms around. "And nobody messes with my brother except me you coke fiend bitch."
“Prepare to Die Saotome!!” Ryuji heard as he barley dodged a Chinese short sword from imbedding itself into his head, yet there was a small cut on his cheek. In front of him, he turned towards the direction the sword was thrown only to see a tall long haired man wearing a grey silk robe with longer sleeves.
“Um, you might want to get some vision correction surgery, Ranma's right here.” Ryuji said as he pointed to Ranma who just sighed.
“Silence you deceitful cur! Once I kill you Sha…” Mousse didn't finish the sentence as he was wacked in the head by a large bonbori mallet, which he saw wielding it was a beautiful lilac haired young woman as she started to wail on Mousse while yelling angrily in mandarin before turning and tackleglomping Ranma while Akane just scowled.
“Nihao Ranma!” Shampoo said in a enthusiastic voice before nuzzling his cheek which made Ranma twitch and gulp.
