Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 1: It's raining in Nerima, as a red headed girl wearing a red chinese shirt and black pants runs trough the streets. A big panda comes from behind and tries to hit her, she dodges the attack and turns around to face it. Then she jumps and kicks the panda away from her. Girl: Leave me alone! I don't want to go! I'll go back to China, and try to get a cure! The girl walks away, but the panda stands up and hits her on the back, making her slide trough the wet streets, bystanders look at her, and the panda following her. Person 1: It's a panda! Person 2: Is it walking in two legs? The girl and the panda take battle ready stances. Then the panda leaps forward, the girl dodges the punch. Girl: I told you! I'm not getting married and that's it! The girl grabs the panda by the arm and tosses it away, the panda falls flat on the ground. Girl: I'm going back to China! You and Ranko can do whatever you want, I'm not gonna live the rest of my life this way. Then, an exact duplicate of the girl, but only eight inches tall and with a pair of small fairy wings on her back comes walking dragging what looks like a pink shirt and yellow pants; she is obviously naked but hides it by holding the clothes she is carrying. Fairy: Ranma! Do you think I want to stay this way! Girl (Ranma): Ranko! I'm sorry sis ... but you heard what he said! I have to get married with a girl I don't even know! Fairy (Ranko): I know, but still ... WATCH OUT! Ranko's warning comes too late, the panda hits Ranma from behind using a sign, Ranma dorps to the floor unconscious. The panda picks Ranma up. Ranko: Dad! Why did you do that! HEY! The panda grabs the fairy and her clothes, the fairy tries to brake free, but the panda just presses a point in her little neck, and Ranko is now also unconscious. Person 1: Did you see that? Person 2: Yeah, that panda just hit that girl, and picked that strange fairy thing! The panda hears them, and growls at them. Hiding the fairy into the girl's cleavage, the panda grabs a big back pack that he was carrying and walks away. A few minutes later, the rain stops. Meanwhile, at a house with a sign that reads "Tendo Dojo" A man with a mustache is reading a postcard, while crying of happiness. The post card reads: Dear Tendo: I'm coming back from China with Ranma. Ranko is with us too, I hope that's not a problem. Genma Saotome. Man (Soun tendo): Finally! Ranma is coming! Ho joy! The man runs around the house. Soun: Kasumi! A girl comes out of the kitchen. Girl (Kasumi): Yes father? What is it? Soun: Nabiki! In her room, Nabiki closes the manga she was reading and walks downstairs. Nabiki: Coming! Soun: Akane! In the dojo, a girl with long black hair is smashing some bricks. Nabiki walks in. Nabiki: Still doing that? No wonder why all the normal guys are always avoiding you. Akane (Turning around): Who cares! I'm not like you! I hate men! Nabiki: Whatever ... dad has something to tell us. Now the three girls are in the dining room, Soun is sitting across from them at the table. Akane: A fiancee!? Soun: Yes, he's the son of a friend, his name is Ranma Saotome, one of you will marry him and take care of the dojo. Akane: Wait a minute ... you can't just arrange something like that! Count me out! Nabik: Akane is right dad. How can we marry someone that we never saw before? Soun: You'll meet him soon. Akane: Huh? Soun: Ranma, his father and his twin sister Ranko were on a training trip to China. Nabiki: Really? China? Akane: I don't care where they have been. Nabiki: Is he good looking? Kasumi: I hope he isn't too young. Nabiki: So ... how does Ranma look? Saoun: *Little chuckle* I have no idea. Nabiki: What? Soun: I never saw him before. Then a girl's voice comes from the hall. Girl's voice: Let me go! Let me go now! Kasumi: Sounds like we have guests. Nabiki: It must be Ranma! Soun: Saotome! I have been waiting for you. The two of them run towards the door. Kasumi: (Thinking) I hope he is good looking even if he's young. Akane: (Thinking) What a big mess this is ... The two of the also stand up and walk towards the door. Then, Nabiki and Soun come running back as a big panda carrying a trashing girl walks in. Girl (Ranma): See! You scared them! Kasumi: This is you friend dad? Soun shook his head. Nabiki: Then what is that panda doing here!? The panda puts the girl down on the floor, Soun looks at her. He notices the red hair. Soun: Ranko? Ranma: Huh? Soun: Yeah, you must be Ranko, Genma told me how you look like, the red hair is a giveaway. Ranma: But I'm not ... Soun: So ... where's Ranma? Ranma: Eh? Well ... he ... he's just ... delayed ... yeah ... he'll come here later. Soun: I see ... well, since you are here why don’t you have a cup of tea. Kasumi, bring a cup of tea for our guest. A minute later, Ranma is knelling at the table, sipping at a cup of tea. Nabiki: Just what we need ... another girl. Akane: Nabiki! She's our guest. Akane walks next to Ranma. Akane: Ranko is it? I'm Akane, let's be friends. The two girls walk to the dojo. Akane: So, you practice kenpo. Ranma: A little. Akane: How about a sparring match? Ranma: Huh? Akane: Just for fun. Don't worry, I wont use all my strength. Ranma: Humm ... okay ... Akane runs towards Ranma, who just dodges a punch and then a kick with a lot of ease. Akane: What are you doing? Attack me! Akane tries again, but Ranma is just too fast for her. Akane: (Thinking) I can't touch her ... she anticipates all my moves ... all right then, this time I'm using all my strength. Aakne punches again, Ranma jumps and the punch makes a hole at the wall, Ranma falls with a stand and pokes Akane on the back of the head. Ranma: *giggles* Akane: *laughs* Akane: You are really good, I'm glad that you are a girl. Ranma: Huh? Why? Akane: I couldn’t have stand it if a boy had defeated me. Akane walks out of the dojo. Then a little head with red hair tied up in a pigtail comes out of Ranma's cleavage. Ranko: You are gonna have to tell her the truth brother. Ranma: *sight* I know sis ... I will .... Later. Nabiki walks next to the dining room, her father and a man in a white gi are sitting across form each other. Nabiki enters the kitchen. Nabiki: Kasumi? Who's the man with dad? Kasumi: I don't know. Later, Kasumi runs into Ranma. Kasumi: Ranko. Why don't you take a bath? Ranma: Huh? No ... It's ok ... Kasumi: No it's not, you just worked out. Ranma: Hum ... alright ... Later, Ranma is naked in the bathroom sitting on one of the plastic stools, the little eight-inches tall fairy is sitting on the soap right across from him, she's also naked. Ranko: Why didn't you tell her then brother? Ranma: Leave me alone Ranko, at least your curse let's you stay in your gender. Ranko: Oh, yeah ... like being eight inches tall is great. Ranma: Alright, alright ... I'm sorry, but look at me ... I look like ... like ... Ranko: Like me? Ranma: Yeah ... like you ... Ranko turned her head, offended. Ranko: So you are ashamed of your twin sister! Ranma: Ranko! That's not what I meant! I mean ... I'm really a man! Ranko: I know ... I'm sorry ... Ranma: Look ... why don't we just turn back to normal, and then we'll tell them. Ranko: Alright, but promise me you will. Ranma: Alright, alright! I promise! Ranko smiles, and grabs a piece of the soap she's sitting on and scrubs herself, Ranma picks up another soap and also scrubs herself. Outside the bathroom. Nabiki: Akane, your bath is ready. Akane: Ok. Akane enters the laundry room, and looks at the two sets of clothes, two shirts, one red, one pink. And two pants, one black, one yellow. Akane: Ranko must be inside, but who are these? She asks herself while looking at the pink shirt and yellow pants. Akane: Oh, well. Akane takes of her gi and unties her hair. Inside the bath room. A girl that looks just like Ranma-girl, and a boy with black hair tied up in a pigtail are soaking in the warm water of the furo. Ranma (boy): Ahhh ... It's good to be normal again ... Ranko (girl): I know what you mean. Ranma and Ranko are beginning to get out of the furo when Akane walks in. She looks at the scene, then walks out. Ranma: Ranko ... did she saw us? Ranko: I guess she did ... Akane walks out, puts on her gi top, and closes the door. Akane: *sigh* AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Akane runs towards the dining room, and grabs the table. Akane: I'm gonna hit him! Nabiki: Akane? What's wrong? Akane: Ranko was in the bath room, with some pervert! Nabiki: Why didn't you hit him then? Akane: I couldn't! I was scared! Kasumi: That was strange ... I only saw Ranko going into the bath room. Just then, a girl with a pink shirt and yellow pants walks in, next to her is a boy with a red shirt and black pants. Akane: Ranko! Stay away from him! Ranko: Hum ... The girl you saw before wasn't me ... she was him. Ranko points at her brother. Ranma: I'm Ranma Saotome ... sorry about that ... Later, the girl, the boy and the man in the white gi are sitting in the dinning room. Soun: Alright ... let's start again, this is my friend. Man: I'm Genma Saotome, and this are my kids. Ranko: I'm Ranko. Ranma: I'm Ranma. ---------------------------------------------- Chapter 1 is finished, please send comments so I'll keep writing this.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 2: Akane is giving Ranma and Ranko strange glances from across the room, for the first time she notices that the Ranko that she is looking at now has green eyes, and the Ranko that she saw first had blue eyes, like Ranma. Nabiki: I don't get it ... if you are really Ranko, then who was the Ranko we saw before? Ranma: I told you ... it was me ... Kasumi: But you don't look like a girl. Genma fixes his glasses. Genma: Hum, well ... were shall I begin? ..... I know! Genma grabs Ranma from the red shirt and tosses him towards the koi pond in the garden. Ranma: AAAHHH!! Ranko: Brother! SPLASH! A second later Ranma comes out from the pool again, but this time as a girl that looks just like Ranko except for the clothing and the blue eyes. Ranma: WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT FOR!? Ranko: Yeah dad! That was rude! The three Tendo girls look at Ranma in amazement. Nabiki: He turned into ... Kasumi: A girl ... A sudden realization came on Akane, if this girl was the same one that she fought with, then she lost a fight against a boy! Genma: What a terrible tragedy! My son turns into a girl! There isn't a bigger calamity! Ranko kicks Genma from behind just as Ranma is coming out of the koi pond, Genma falls with a splash. SPLASH! Ranma-chan: Thanks sis. Ranko: Anytime. Genma comes out, but he is now a big panda. Ranko: Serves you right! Ranma-chan: Yeah! Ranko walks back into the house while Genma and Ranma fight it out in the garden. Kasumi: Father ... your friend is weird. Soun: I'm not sure exactly why this is ... it has something to do with their training in China ... Ranko: Yeah, that's exactly what happened. The three Tendo girls and the father turn to see at the green eyed girl with a pink chinese shirt and yellow pants. Ranko: It happened two weeks ago ... A little flashback, Ranma and Ranko, both wearing a white gi, are walking towards a place filled with springs with bamboo poles sticking out of them, a guide dressed in a green uniform comes by. Guide: Welcome, this is legendary training ground of Jusenkyo. Genma: Ranma, Ranko, are you two ready? Ranma: Sure. Ranko: But I don't see anything special about this place. Guide: You three are brave ... nobody comes to train here anymore, this place dangerous. Many springs as you can see ... each has tragic story behind. Genma jumps towards one of the bamboo poles and lands with a stand. Genma: Ranma! Ranko! Come here! Guide: Wait! Must explain risks! Ranma and Ranko each land on a bamboo pole. Genma: I'm gonna give you two a lesson! Ranma: Sure. Ranko: Come on dad! We are waiting! Ranma, Ranko and Genma jump towards each other. Guide: Wait! I have to warn you! That very dangerous! Genma attacks Ranma, and while he avoids him, Ranko kicks Genma from behind, and he falls on one of the springs, Ranko and Ranma land on another bamboo pole. Ranma: We won! Ranko: Yeah! Give me five bro! Ranma and Ranko hit hands, when suddenly the spring were Genma fell starts bubbling and a big panda jumps out. The panda lands on a bamboo pole, Ranma and Ranko stare in shock. Ranma/Ranko: What ... what did just ... how come ... Guide: He fell in the spring of the drowned panda, 2000 years ago a panda fell in there and now whoever falls in it turns into a panda! I tried to warn you! Ranma: Re ... really? Ranko: What ... what do we do now? Genma jumps towards Ranma and Ranko before they notice him, and the big panda tosses the twins into two opposite directions. SPLASH! SPLOSH! Ranma comes out first, the guide walks next to him. Guide: Too bad, you fell in the spring of the drowned girl, 1500 years ago a girl fell in there, now whoever falls in it turns into a girl! Ranma-chan: What! No! Ranma takes courage and opens her gi top, she screams when she sees her breasts. Guide: See? Told you. Then Ranko comes out. Fairy-Ranko: What happened ... were are my clothes? Why is everything so big? Guide: You fell in the spring of the drowned fairy, 3000 years ago, a fairy fell in that spring, now whoever falls in it turns into a fairy. Fairy-Ranko: What!? Ranko looks that she is now just eight inches tall, and then looks back, a pair of fairy wings are sticking out of her back. End of flashback. Nabiki: So you have a curse too? Ranko: Yes, I turn into a fairy ... didn't you wonder why you never saw me get in here? Soun dismisses the question. Soun: The legendary training ground of Jusenkyo, what a cruel fate. By now, Ranma and Genma had come back from a quick dip in the furo. Ranma: It's all your fault dad! Ranko: Yeah! How could you take us to a place like that! Genma grabs Ranma and Ranko from the arms, and tosses them into the koi pond. SPLASH! SPLASH! Fairy Ranko tries to cover her nudity with her clothes, Ranma just looks at Genma angrily. Genma: Ranma! Ranko! Didn't you two say that you would do anything to train! Ranma-chan: Yeah! That's true. Ranma grabs a bucket and tosses it at Genma, Genma turns into a panda. Ranma-chan: But you never said anything about loosing my masculinity! Ranko comes flying into to house, a handkerchief tied around her. Fairy-Ranko: Could you two stop already! Kasumi: Mr. Saotome! How could you put your kids trough something like that! Nabiki: Yeah! I mean, how do you expect the two of them to do such a sacrifice! Genma takes out a panflet, Nabiki grabs it. Nabiki: "Dangerous training ground in China"? But this map is in chinese. Kasumi: Mr. Saotome ... you don't know chinese right? Genma takes out a sign that reads "Exactly" Ranma bonks him on the head. Soun comes from behind and empties a steaming kettle on Genma. Soun: If understood right, then you turn back to normal with hot water. Genma: IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BOILING! Soun: And you turn into a girl with cold water, and back into a boy with hot water. Soun tries to splash Ranma and Ranko with the hot water, but the two avoid it. Ranma-chan: It's too hot! Fairy-Ranko: It just has top be warm, not boiling! Soun pats Ranma on the back. Soun: Ok then, then is not a big deal. Soun: (Pointing at Kasumi) Kasumi is 19 years old. (Pointing at Nabiki) Nabiki is 17 years old. (Pointing at Akane) and Akane is the youngest with 16 years old. Choose the one that is going to be your fiancé. Kasumi and Nabiki push Akane forward. Kasumi: Come on Akane. Nabiki: You are meant for each other. Akane: Eh! Why me!? Nabiki: Aren't you the one that hates boys? Kasumi: It's your luck day, Ranma is half a girl. Akane: I'm not marrying a pervert! Ranma-chan: And who's the pervert? Akane: You! You saw me naked! Fairy-Ranko: You shouldn't judge Ranma like that Akane ... he was there first. Akane turns towards the small fairy. Akane: And you! How come you two take baths together!? Fairy-Ranko: We use to do so since we were 5! Besides, with Ranma's curse I don't feel that uncomfortable! Akane: Whatever! He saw me naked! Ranma-chan: We were there first! And you didn't knock! Akane: I tough you were your sister! Soun: Look! They are already discussing like if they were married. Akane: What!? I'll never marry a pervert like him! Ranma turns around. Ranma-chan: See ya! Fairy-Ranko: Brother? Were are you going? Ranma-chan: Back to China! I'm gonna find a cure! Having a fiancé is not my priority right now! Ranma turns to look at Akane. Ranko looks at him with a face of 'don't say it Ranma' but Ranma doesn't notice. Ranma-chan: You and me could have been naked, but I'm so used to my curse and my sister that seeing you naked didn't even impress me. Ranko puts her hand on her face. Fairy-Ranko: (Thinking) Ranma! You and your big mouth, whatever you do, don't say it! Ranma-chan: Besides, I'm even better looking than you. Fairy-Ranko: (Thinking) He said it. Ranma laughs, and Akane picks up the table, hitting Ranma on the head with it. Fairy-Ranko: You asked for it brother. A few minutes later, Ranma wakes up and raises his head, Ranko, still in fairy form is sitting in front of her. Fairy-Ranko: Did you sleep well bro? Ranma-chan: Ow! My head hurts! Nabiki and Kasumi are next to her too. Kasumi: Don't thing bad of Akane. She is really a sweet girl, but she has a short temper. Nabiki: And you think that something like that is going to convince him? Meanwhile in the bathroom, Akane is taking a bath. Akane: (Recalling Ranma-chan, "I'm even better good looking than you.") (Thinking) How dare he say something like that! FREAK! Outside, Ranma is walking towards the bath room, she is holding Ranko's clothes in one hand and rubs her head with the other, Ranko is sitting on Ranma's shoulder. Fairy-Ranko: Does it still hurt brother? Ranma-chan: Yeah ... what a strange girl, when she tough that I was a girl she was so sweet ... but then she knew I was a man and changed completely. Ranma and Ranko enter the bath room. And both get naked. Fairy-Ranko: You have to think about that this curse thing is hard to explain. Ranma-chan: Still, she was REALLY different. Ranma opens the door just when Akane walks out. Fairy-Ranko: (Thinking) Oh brother ... Ranma-chan: Hum ... I ... hum ... Akane: YOU PERVERT! SLAP! Later, Ranma, back in male form, and Ranko, back in human form, are sitting at the door, Genma passes by. Genma: You are lucky son, your fiancé is really good, isn't she. Ranma: What!? She's a complete Tomboy! Ranko: Ranma, don't say those things ... does your face hurt? Ranma: Only when I smile. Akane and Nabiki are talking in the dining room. Nabiki: So what? He was like a girl this time. Akane: Still, inside he is really a man! -------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2 is done, I'll begin with Chapter three right away.

Genma: Yes, we will settle down here, so you and Ranko will have to go. Ranma: Humf ... ok ... were is Ranko anyway? Genma: I think she was in the kitchen. In the kitchen, Ranko, wearing Furinkan's school uniform, was looking at herself while Kasumi smiled. Ranko: Thank you Kasumi, this one fits perfectly. Kasumi: It's one of my old uniforms, I'm glad you can use it ... Oh! Almost forgot ... here. Kasumi hands Ranko a small shirt and pants, they are an exact replica of her chinese clothes, only smaller. Ranko: Are this for ...? Kasumi: Yes, so you can wear something while in your cursed form, you can carry them with you and use them when necessary. Ranko puts the little clothes in her skirt pocket. Ranko: Thank you Kasumi. Nabiki walks past the kitchen and peeks inside. Nabiki: Ranko? Are you ready? Come on, let's go. Ranko: Coming. Back in the main room, Ranma grabs his school bag, as Nabiki and Ranko walk past him. Ranma: Hey, were are you going? Ranko: To school. Akane runs towards them. Akane: Hey! Nabiki! Wait up! Let's go together. Nabiki: Now, Akane, Ranma is your fiancé, you two walk to school together. Ranko: I agree, see you two later. Ranma: Hey! Ranko! Ranko doesn't answer as she and Nabiki walk out of the house. Akane looks at Ranma, then looks away. Akane: Hurry up, it's late! Ranma: Humf! Akane and Ranma are walking to school. Ranma is walking on the wire fence. Akane: Remember, you DON'T know me. Ranma: Like I cared ... Akane: I'm serious! Don't talk to me when we are in school! Ranma: Don't worry about that, I don't want to have anything to do with a tomboy like you. Akane is about to hit Ranma with her school-bag, when Genma (In human form) runs towards Ranma and hits him on the head. Ranma: OW! Why did you do that dad!? Genma: Now listen up Ranma! I'm going to say this just once ... TRIP! SPLASH! With a small kick, Ranma knocks Genma down to the water below. Ranma: Yes dad? I'm listening ... Genma, now a panda, jumps out of the water and tries to hit Ranma, but he's too fast and jumps out of the way. Ranma: Ha! Missed me! SPLASH! A wet onna-Ranma looks at herself, then at the little old lady that splashed him ... her, whatever. Akane: What an idiot. Ranma turns around and walks back. Akane: Where are you going? Ranma-chan: I'm going back to take a hot bath. Akane: You can't ... we'll be late. Ranma-chan: Well, what do you suggest? Akane: All we need is some hot water, right? Ranma nods. Outside of a acupuncture and acupressure clinic. Akane is at the door speaking to a woman while onna-Ranma leans against the wall at the corner, out of sight of the woman. Woman: Some hot water? Sure, just a moment. Akane: Thank you, and sorry to bother you. Ranma-chan: (Thinking) gee ... what a great way to start the day. Suddenly a skeletal hand touches Ranma on her shoulder. Ranma turns around and looks right into the face of a human skull. She jumps up and takes old of the wall. Man: Oh. Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Next to her is a man with a pair of glasses and a grey gi. He is carrying a medical skeleton. Man: This is just Betty-chan my skeleton. Ranma doesn't answer, and jumps down, back on the street. Just then, Akane walks by. Akane: Ranma, here's the hot ... Man: Ah, Akane-chan! Akane: (blushing) Oh, Dr. Tofu. She bows politely. Ranma is hit on the had by the steaming kettle of water by Akane, she looks at Akane, then at Dr. Tofu, then back at Akane. Akane: Good morning. Dr. Tofu: Good morning to you, Akane-chan. Dr. Tofu: You haven't been by, lately. No new injuries? Akane: No, Dr. Tofu ... I mean... I have been more careful lately ... Ranma-chan is standing around the corner turning into Ranma-kun while observing the conversation. Ranma notices Akane's blushed, but also happy face. Ranma: (Thinking) Hmmmmm ...? Interesting. Near the school, Nabiki and Ranko are just a block away from school. Nabiki: Ranko ... Ranko: Huh? Yes Nabiki? Nabiki: Something has been bothering me ... why didn't you just jump into the spring that Ranma fell into to take off your curse? Ranko: Ah, that ... well, it was something like this ... after Ranma fell into the spring, he jumped out almost immediately. When I walked ... or flew ... next to him to ask him witch spring he fell into, he turned around and wasn't sure, there were about four springs, one next to the other, and Ranma wasn't sure witch one he fell in. Nabki: I see ... well, that explains it. Just then, the two reach the school, Ranko is surprised to see many boys, some wearing boxing outfits, others wearing karate gis, and some others were using rugby and tennis uniforms. Ranko: Excuse me Nabiki ... what are this guys going here? Nabiki: Waiting for Akane. Ranko: Huh? Nabiki: Come on, I'll tell you everything inside. The two girls walk into the school. Meanwhile, on another street, Ranma and Akane are running as fast as they can towards the school. Ranma is walking on the fence again. Ranma: Who was that guy? Akane: Dr. Tofu, he's a chiropractor, the best one there is. Ranma: Does he practice martial arts? Akane: Huh? How did you know? Ranma doesn't answer, but thinks back to his 'meeting' with the doctor and his skeleton. Ranma: (thinking) He surprised me, it's hard to surprise me like that. Akane: Yes, he practices martial arts too. He doesn't look like it, does he? Ever since I was little he has taken care of my injuries. Ranma jumps down from the fence to runs beside Akane. Ranma: So, what's going on. I thought you said you hate men. And he looks pretty male to me. Akane clenches her teeth. Akane: That's right! I HATE men! All the boys that Ranko saw earlier run to meet Akane from the schoolyard shouts. Boy 1: Hey! There's Akane! Boy 2: Let's get her! Akane jumps high into the air landing right in the middle of the crowd. Akane: Out of my way! I'm late! Akane begins kicking and punching at every single boy that dares to come close to her. At the school, some students are watching trough the windows, inone window we can see Nabiki, and in another, Ranko. Ranko: Wow ... Nabiki wasn't kidding ... and she has to do this EVERY day? Nabiki notices Ranma standing on the wall, and shouts to him. Nabiki: Hey! Ranma! Come in! It's late! Ranma: But ... but Akane is ... Nabiki: Don't worry about Akane, it's like this every day. Ranma looks down at the fight, only a few boys still remain, and Akane finishes them of with a well placed kick. She looks around, and when she's sure there's nobody else around, she relaxes. Akane: I'm just tired of this ... every day the same thing ... Just then a voice speaks up and both Akane and Ranma turn to face the boy that talkd. Boy: Yes, they are so stupid. The speaker is a young man, older than Akane and Ranma. He is holding a rose in one hand and a bokutou (a kendo wood sword) in the other. Boy: They want to defeat you, but they know as well as I do, that they could never defeat you. Akane rolls her eyes. Akane: Good morning, Sempai Kuno. Kuno (The boy) throws the rose toward Akane who catches it with her left hand since her right hand is holding her school bag. Kuno: Now Akane Tendo ... will you grant me the honor of fighting you? Ranma jumps from the wall landing next to Akane. Ranma: Man, are you popular or what? Akane still looks at Kuno. Akane: Stay out of the way. He might hurt you. Ranma: What's going on? Akane doesn't turn. Akane: You'll see pretty soon. Kuno points his bokutou at Ranma. Kuno: You! Who are you, who speaks to Akane with such familiarity. Ranma and Akane look at each other. Ranma: Eh? I'm just ... Kunou: Who are you, boor? Ah, but it is the custom to give one's own name first. So I will give you mine. Ranma: (sarcastically) By all means ... Kuno: My name is Kuno Tatewaki. People call me "The Blue Thunder" of Fuurinkan high. A thunder can be seen a long distance away. The girls on the balcony whisper to each other. Girl 1: "Blue Thunder"? Girl 2: Have you ever heard about that? Nabiki: News to me. Back down at the yard. Ranma: Hum ... well ... you see, I'm staying at the Tendo Dojo at the moment... Kuno: What?! You live under the same roof as Akane? He swings his bokutow at Ranma who dodges and somersaults over Kuno's attack. While in mid air, Ranma takes off his school bag.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 4: The sky above Furinkan High school is full of clouds. Thunder rolls. The balconies of the building are filled with students of all ages trying to catch a look of what is going on in the yard. Boy: Hey, someone's fighting Kuno. Boy 2: Whoa! He must have a death wish. Kuno Tatewaki and his opponent Saotome Ranma face each other. Kuno's wooden Kendo sword is raised and he is assuming a fighting position. Ranma is unarmed, but nevertheless ready for battle. Kuno: So, you dare hound Akane in her own home? (raises his sword above the head) Kuno Tatewaki shall bring you to justice. Ranma: "Hounding" is not exactly the word. Akane: He's only staying with us, Kuno. Kuno pays no attention to this. All his attention is fixed on the "offender". Kuno: (to Ranma) Silence, Fool! At this he charges Ranma with the speed of an racing car. His enemy in his sights, he brings down the wooden sword with a force that splits the wall where Ranma was standing. But Ranma is already gone. When Kuno notices his miss and looks around he finds Ranma poised against the upper trunk of tree, waiting to jump away again as soon as gravity notices that something is amiss. Again, Kuno displays his mastery in handling his chosen weapon by slicing the tree in half at the point where Ranma was - just a moment ago. As the upper half of the massacred tree lands, so does Ranma, a few paces from Kuno. He is quite annoyed with Kuno's attitude. Ranma: Now hold on, Kuno. Suddenly he is standing right before Kuno; face to face. Ranma: Let me make something clear... Kuno: N...?! (thinks) This guy is good! Akane: (astonished) Wow! He was there before Kuno could blink! Ranma: There is nothing going on between me and Akane. Right, Akane? Akane: Nothing at all! Akane's forcefulness in confirming this bothers Ranma a little, but he has no time to contemplate what it means, since Kuno swings at him again. Kuno: So, you disdain sweet Akane, scoundrel?! Let this teach you respect. The sky looks like it's going to rain any minute. He hits only empty air which throws him a little off-balance. Ranma has jumped right up into the air and is now descending upon the older boy with outstretched fingers aiming at his brow. Kuno brings his sword up again. Just as both fighters seem about to connect, Kuno is jerked violently to the side. Now it is raining. Genma in panda form took Ranma that was now a girl, knocks Kuno and enters the school. Boy: Did you see that!? A big Panda just beat up Kuno! Ranko: Yeah ... (Thinking) They both hit at the same time, but Ranma's hit was a lot more ... elaborate ... than Kuno's. In the sport equipment deposit room. Ranma-chan: Shoot! If it weren't for that stupid rain I would have trashed that guy! Akane: I wouldn't be so sure. Ranma-chan: Huh? Akane, why do you say that? Akane: Look at your neck. Ranma-chan: Huh? A bruise? How did he do it without me felling it? Genma pours the hot water he was carrying on Ranma. Akane: If he wouldn't had missed you wont be telling the story now. Ranma: Yeah? Well, did you saw when I hit him? At room 2-E. Kuno is sitting in class next to Nabiki. On his brow there are shining red pressure marks spelling out "Bufoon". Nabiki: And you say you didn't notice him touching you? That's amazing. Kuno: Hmph! I thought, he was good, too... But he can't even spell! Kuno walks to the chalkboard and writes down 'boofun'. Kuno: Everybody knows that it's spelled "B O O F U N". Nabiki, next to him, writes down 'buffoon'. Nabiki: Kuno... It's spelled "B U F F O O N". Kuno: I detest you. Nabiki: (unimpressed) Like I cared. In room 1-F, the teacher is introducing Ranma and Ranko to the class. Teacher: This two here are Ranma and Ranko Saotome, they just returned from China. (Turning to Ranko) Ranko you may be seated. Ranko: Yes. Ranko walks towards her seat. Teacher: Now, Ranma and Akane were late, so you two go stand in the hallway. In the hallway, Ranma and Akane are holding buckets of cold water. Akane: This is all your fault! Ranma: How can you say that! I got mixed up in your fight! Akane: For your information, I have to do that every single day! Ranma: Huh? Every single day? Why? Akane: It was all Kuno's fault ... Ranma: What do you mean? Akane: He told the whole school that if anybody wanted to beat me, first they had to defeat me in combat. Ranma: ....................... Back in room 2-E. Kuno: WHAT!? HER FIANCEE!? Nabiki: Yup. Ranma is Akane's fiancee, it was our parents agreement. Kuno: I curse your name Saotome Ranma! Teacher: Kuno, go stand in the hall. Kuno is now in his Keno outfit and running with two buckets of water. Kuno: (Thinking) I won't allow it! Outside room 1-F. Ranma: So you fight with Kuno every day? Akane: Yes, but I always win. Ranma: That figures, he can't use all his strength with a girl. Akane: Hey! What do you mean!? I can fight you right now FOR REAL! Ranma: I'll pass. Even if you are just a ugly tomboy. I can't fight for real with you. Akane holds her bucket of water ready to toss the water to Ranma. Akane: And if we are both girls? You can fight then? Ranma: H ... hold it now ... Ranma jumps up to avoid another splash of water. Ranma: HEY! Ranma turns around to look at Kuno, who's standing there with a (now empty) bucket of water. Kuno: Ranma Saotome! I just found out about you being engaged to Akane Tendo! But I shall never let that marriage take place! Akane and Ranma were trying to make Kuno shut up, but it was to late, all the boys and girls of room 1-F look out the window discussing things with Ranma and Akane. Akane: It's ... It's not what you think! Ranma: Our parents arranged it! Ranma jumps to avoid a strike from Kuno, then runs down the hall. Kuno: Come back here you coward! Ranma: We can't fight here! Follow me! Kuno: Very well, I shall! Ranma and Kuno ran trough the halls. All of the students of room 1-F run after them, Ranko catches up with Akane up front. Ranko: What happened!? How did Kuno find out? Akane: This is a wild guess ... but I think that my sister told him. Ranko: Huh? Ranma reaches an open window and jumps out. Ranma: Follow me Kuno! Let's take this short cut! Kuno: Ok. Ranma and Kuno both jump out the window. Akane: Ranma! What are you doing! This is a third floor! Ranma: So? I know how to fall. Kuno: But I don't know how to swim!!!! Ranma looks down, the school's swimming pool, filled to the edge with nice and cool water is waiting for the two falling martial artists. Ranma: NOOOOO!!! Akane and Ranko look out the window, as how the two fall down and hit the water with a loud splash. Ranko runs down the hall. Akane: Ranko!? Were are you going? Ranko: I got to help Ranma. He may be an idiot but he's my brother ... you go to the school's kitchen and get some hot water. Akane nods and runs to a different direction. Meanwhile, down at the pool. Ranma-chan: (Thinking) Got to get away! Got to get away! But Kuno is above her, and grabs him by the chest. Kuno: Got you Saotome! Ranma-chan: Yaaaahhhh!!! -------------------------------------------------------------- Well, another Chapter is done. Please, e-mail me telling me that you are reading this!

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 5: Kuno is holding Ranma-chan by the waist up. Kuno: You wont get away Saotome! Ranma-chan: Let me go you freak! Then, Kuno squishes one of Ranma's breasts. Kuno: !? Ranma-chan: I SAID! LET ME GO! Ranma grabs Kuno by the head, and slams it to the side of the pool. Ranma then jumps out of the pool and runs away. Up at the windows, the students are talking. Boy 1: Was it just me ... or did Ranma looked like his sister? Boy 2: Naaah ... it must have been an optic illusion or something. In the school kitchen. Akane is waiting for a kettle to boil. Akane: I just hope Ranko finds Ranma before Kuno does. Outside, by the pool, Kuno, arms crossed, is thinking. Kuno: Now ... I'm sure that that was a girl ... so that means ... Kuno stands up. Kuno: That means that the coward ran away and let a girl in his place! A few feet away from school, on top of a tree, a very wet Ranma-chan is taking off her pants to dry them off. Ranma-chan: That stuoid Kuno ... he squished me to hard! Voice: Hi there brother. Ranma looks down, Ranko is at the bottom of the tree, waving at her. Ranma-chan: Ranko! Boy, am I glad to see you or what ... Ranko: Yes, I know ... were would you be now without your sister. Ranma-chan: Don't start Ranko ... do you have some hot water? Ranko: Don't worry, Akane is taking care of that, ah! There she comes ... Ranko waves at Akane, who comes running with a kettle of steaming hot water. Akane: Here's the water ... Ranko: Good, now all we ... huh? Ranko looks at a side and notices that Kuno is coming. Ranko: It's Kuno! Akane, give Ranma the kettle ... I'll go buy you some time. Akane and Ranma nod as Ranko runs towards Kuno. Kuno turns around to look at this girl that comes towards him with a battle ready stance. Ranko: Kuno Tatewaki ... prepare to fight me! Kuno: Who are you? Ranko: You don't need to know my name ... now fight! Kuno: Alright, lovely maiden, I shall ... and if you defeat me, you'll get the right to date me. Ranko: And who wants to date you! Kuno hold his bokutou with both hands and runs towards Ranko. He tries to hit her, but Ranko is too fast for him, and dodges the attack, then she spins around to deliver a hard roundhouse kick. Kuno: (Thinking) She ... she's too strong, she's as good as Akane ... maybe better! Kuno falls down, out cold from the kick he just received. Ranko: So ... that's it? Clap, clap, clap. Ranko turns around, to look at a now fully dressed and back to male form Ranma, claping at her. Ranma: Very good sis ... I couldn't have done it better myself. Ranko: That's because I'm better than you. Ranma: HA! You wish. Akane cuts in. Akane: Now, cut it out you two ... we have to go back to school. Ranko and Ranma nod and follow Akane back to school, leaving a unconscious Kuno behind. That night, at the Tendo Dojo. Ranma, Ranko and Genma are standing on their heads. Genma: So, Ranma, I heard that Ranko had to help you out at school. Ranko: Actually dad, I just held back some jerk ... Akane is the one that he should give thanks to, she's the one that brought him the hot water. Ranma: I didn't ask for help to you or Akane! Ranko: Humf! In Akane's room. Nabiki, who's practicing some exercises from a magazine is talking to Akane. Nabiki: Actually, I don't see what the problem is. So what if Ranma turns into an exact replica of his sister? Akane: Nabiki, I'm not like you, I don't care about having a boyfriend, and even less a fiancé! Aakne turns around to look at Nabiki. Akane: But YOU go around telling the whole school that I'm engaged to that freak! Akane didn't know that Ranma was standing just outside the door of her room, and heard her every word. Ranma: (Walking away, thinking) Humf ... now I'm never going to say thanks! The next day, back at school, in room 2-E. Kuno: What! You know her! Nabiki: Yes, she had red hair tied up in a pig tail right? Kuno: Yes, that's her, do you know who she is? Nabiki: Sure I do, she's Ranma's sister, Ranko. Kuno: I see ... then ... Kuno sits down and writes something in a piece of paper, then hands it to Nabiki. Kuno: Could you deliver this for me? Nabiki: Hum ... ok. That afternoon, at the Tendo's. Nabiki: Hey, Ranko, I have a message for you. Ranko: Huh? For me? Nabiki: Yes, it's from Kuno. Ranko: Let me see. Ranko grabs the letter and reads it. Ranko: "Ranko Saotome, Meet me this Sunday at 10:00 in the second field of Furinkan High School." Ranma and Akane walk by. Ranma: Sounds to me like a challenge letter. Akane: He must be angry at you from defeating him the other day. Ranma: Are you going to go Ranko. Ranko: If it's a challenge ... I have no choice but to go. That Sunday, Ranko, dressed in her regular yellow and pink chinese clothes is standing were the letter said. She turns when she hears Kuno come. Kuno: Welcome, Ranko Saotome. Ranko: I see that you don't know when to quit. Ranko notices that Kuno doesn't have his bokutou. Ranko: Hey! Were is your wooden sword? Kuno: Heh, heh, heh ... I don't need my wooden sword. Ranko: That confident, huh. Kuno: What I wanted to give you is ... THIS! Kuno tosses something at Ranko, who catches it with just one hand. She turns around and realizes that it’s a bouquet of roses! Kuno: I love you, Ranko Saotome. Kuno turns around to leave. Ranko just falls on her knees, not knowing what to answer. -------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5 is done. Please, e-mail me telling me that you are reading this!

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 6: Nabiki and Ranko are walking to school. Nabiki: So, Ranko, I heard that Kuno told you that he loves you, you are so lucky. Ranko: I don't think so. Nabiki: Why not? He's handsome, and has tons of money. Ranko: I don't care ... he's a weirdo and a jerk ... why don't you go after him if you like him so much? Nabiki: Because he's in love with you, Kuno won't even speak to someone he's not interested. They walk in silence for a while, then Nabiki speaks again. Nabiki: Now Ranko, tell me, is it because you already are in love with someone? Ranko blushes at this question. And nods slowly. Nabiki: I knew it! Now tell me ... what's his name, do I know him? Ranko: Nabiki! That's kind of personal! Besides, you don't know him, he's a boy from our old neighborhood. Nabiki: Whatever ... The two enter the school compound and look around, all the boys that wanted to challenge Akane were here again. Ranko: Again? Nabiki: I told you, it's like this every day. A few blocks away, Ranma and Akane are running to school, when they reach the front door, all the students that want to challenge Akane come out. Boy 1: There's Akane! Boy 2: And her fiancé Ranma is with her! Lets get them! All the boys run towards Ranma and Akane, who just run trough them, hitting them as they come. At the end of the line, awaits Kuno. Kuno: Akane, I'm here! Akane jumps and kicks Kuno on the face, he drops to the ground, unconscious. Ranma: Hey Akane ... great job. Akane: I'm tired of this! The two enter the school. In room 2-E. Nabiki looks at the little teddy bear that Kuno placed on her desk. Nabiki: What's this? Kuno: Can't you see? It's a teddy bear. Nabiki: Well, I don't like it. Kuno: Who said it was for you! It's for the lovely Ranko Saotome. Nabiki: Huh ... I see ... in that case ... Nabiki takes out a handful of pictures, they are all of Ranko, and some were of Ranma in his cursed form, but you couldn't tell the difference. Nabiki: You can have them for 5000 yens. Kuno: It's ... It's her! Kuno hands Nabiki the money and takes the pictures. Nabiki: I must confess that I'm stunned ... already you forgot about Akane? Kuno: Who said I forgot about Akane? Nabiki looks at Kuno. Nabiki: You want to date both of them? Kuno: Don't say foolishness ... Akane and Ranko are both beautiful of mind and body ... I can't decide witch one I like the best. Nabiki: Yeah, but ... that's exactly the equivalent of wanting to date both of them! Nabiki shows Kuno another set of pictures, this ones are of Akane. Nabiki: You can have them for 5000 yens. Kuno: You ... you are a ... alright, I'll but them. Later, in room 1-F. Nabiki walks in and towards Ranko. Nabiki: Hey, Ranko ... Kuno wants to talk to you. Ranko: Eh!? Oh man ... that's the last thing I want to do today. Ranko turns to Ranma. Ranko: Brother ... can you do me a favor? Ranma: Eh? What favor? Ranko: Could you go for me and tell Kuno that I don't want to see him. Ranma: EH! And why don't you go yourself!? Ranko: AW! Come on! ... You still owe me for the tree. Ranma: Umf ... alright ... but now we are even. Later, outside the school. Kuno walks towards Ranma. Kuno: Ranma Saotome!? Why are you here!? I wanted to talk to your sister! Ranma: Look ... about that ... she told me that she doesn't want to see you ever again, alright? So forget about her. Ranma walks away and turns the corner. SPASH! Somebody dropped some cold water from a window. Boy 1: What are you doing? Boy 2: Relax, there was no one down there. Meanwhile, Kuno. Kuno: (Thinking) To forget about her ... Kuno turns the corner. Kuno: What do you mean with that! Eh? He's gone. Out of anger, Kuno cuts down a nearby tree, unfortunately, it's the same tree that Ranma used to hide, and falls down to the floor. Kuno kneels down to hold Ranma-chan. Kuno: But if it is ... Ranko! POW! Ranma-chan: Who are you calling Ranko! Ranma hits Kuno right in the face. But Kuno just keeps going and hugs Ranma. Kuno: We'll never be apart again! SPASH! Ranma: Yeow! HOT! Nabiki is standing behind them with an empty kettle of hot water. Nabiki: I'm sorry ... was it too hot Ranma? Kuno: Ran ... ma? Ranma: Now you get away from me! Ranma kicks Kuno on the face. Ranma: Well ... you discovered my secret ... see ya. Kuno: Come back here! What did you do with your sister! Ranma almost falls down. Ranma: Huh? Nabiki: He's not more stupid because he doesn't have time for it ... look Ranma, why don't you let me explain this to him. Ranma nods, and Nabiki walks towards Kuno. Nabiki: Look, Kuno ... what happened is that, sometimes, Ranma is Ranko, you see? Kuno looks like he's going to blow up, he turns towards Ranma and tries to hit him wityh his bokutou. But Ranma is to fast and he jumps out of the way. Kuno: Die! Ranma: What's your problem!? Kuno: Shut up! I know what's going on here! Kuno takes a dramatic pose. Kuno: First you make Akane Tendo you fiancé against her will ... then you forbid your own sister from seeing me! You are the most disgusting fiend in the world! Ranma: Eh? No! It's nothing like that! Kuno: Shut up! Kuno strikes again, and Ranma jumps to a side. A few feet away, looking from behind a stone pillar, Akane and Ranko are watching. Kuno: I'll kill you, so my two loves will be free! Ranma: So, that means that if I win, then they don't have to see you again! Ranko: What are they doing? Akane: I don't know. Ranma jumps and kicks Kuno on the chest, making him retreat, and also making him drop some pictures. Ranma notices and picks one, then another. Ranma: EH!? Ranma is surprised to see that the pictures are of Ranko and Akane. He's so distracted thatKuno sees an opening. Kuno: Got you! SLAM! Kuno hits Ranma right on the side. Akane: ..... Ranko: Brother ... what were you thinking? -------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6 is done. Please, e-mail me telling me that you are reading this!

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 7: Ranma recovers from the hit, and spins around to fall on his feet. Then he dodges more of Kuno's attacks while picking all the pictures in mid air. Kuno: Are you going to look at the pictures of fight me? Kuno strikes at Ranma once more, but Ranma dodges him with a small jump. Kuno: Now, for real! Ranma: Huh? Kuno: Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Again and again Kuno strikes at Ranma who dodges all of his hits. The stone pillar were Ranko and Akane were hiding starts to crackle. Akane: Wow! It's because of the air pressure! Ranko: Yeah ... he's fighting with all his might! Against me he was holding back. Ranma notices that Akane and his sister were watching the fight from behind the pillar. Ranma: Akane! Ranko! Get away from that! Kuno: Got you! Ranko: Ranma! Akana: What are you doing!? Don't turn around! Ranma turns around just in time to avoid another strike from Kuno. Ranma: I had enough! Standing with just one hand, Ranma raises his foot all the way up trough Kuno. Ranma falls with a stand, and Kuno falls on his face. Akane: Wow! What did he do? Ranko: I'll show you. Ranko and Akane walk towards Kuno, Ranko flips him over, and shows Akane many foot prints all over Kuno. Ranko: See? He kicked him in all his vital spots. Akane: I see ... Nabiki: I didn't even saw when he kicked him. Ranma: Ha! He wasn't even worth my time. Ranko: I wouldn't say that brother ... I think he hit you once ... right here. Ranko touches Ranma's side. Ranma: It doesn't hurt a bit. Ranma bends over and little tears come out from his eyes. Ranko: I'm sorry ... but why weren't you concentrating in the fight? Ranma shows Ranko all the pictures that he took from Kuno. Ranko: EH!? Akane: What? EH!? Akane and Ranko look at the pictures of themselves. Ranko: Ranma! What were you doing with this!? Akane: Yeah! Not even form me! But your own sister! You pervert! Ranma: Hey! Don't look at me! Kuno had them! Nabiki: Yes, I sold them to him, to make some money. Ranko and Akane: NABIKI! Ranma: I still don't know what that guy sees in you Akane, you don't look feminine at all in this pictures. Ranko holds her head. Ranko: Oh, brother ... Akane: Ranma!!! Akane runs towards Ranma, and she's VERY angry. SLAM! BONK! CRASH! WHAM! Later, in Dr. Tofu's clinic. Akane and Ranma are there as Nabiki and Ranko went home to tell everybody that they were going to be a little late. Dr. Tofu: This is terrible! In his examination room Dr. Toufu bends over a badly hurt Ranma. Dr. Tofu: Really terrible. There is this little wound by a bokutou. And his bones are twisted in many ways. What kind of brutal person would do this? Akane: (blushing) Hum ... Ranma: It was... (Akane tenses) The tomboy. CRASH! Akane raises the table and drops Ranma on the floor. Dr. Tofu: Akane ... it was you? Akane: (blushing) I ... hum ... I just ... Dr. Tofu: HA! I thought I recognized the style. Well, now that I look at it, it's obvious. He begins to snap all the dislocated bones in Ranma's body back into place again. CRACK! Dr. Tofu: Take this one for example. SNAP! Dr. Tofu: It's so you. CLACK! Ranma: YAWCH! Dr. Tofu: You're Ranma, her fiancé, right? Ranma: HU!. SNAP! POP! Akane: What!? NO! Not really ... I mean, just our parents want ... Dr. Tofu: Ah, don't worry. CRACKKKKKK!!! Dr. Tofu: You've got all the time in the world to decide. You're still kids, after all. Akane: Yes, Doctor ... (thinking) He still just sees me as a kid. SNAP! POP! CRACK! CLICK! Ranma: This hurts!!!!!!!!!! Dr. Tofu: Huh? Really? It shouldn't by now ... where does it hurt? Ranma: Huh? Eh? It ... It doesn't anymore. Akane: Dr. Tofu is great, isn't he? Akane and Ranma walk out of the clinic, before he leaves, Dr. Tofu calls Ranma back. Dr. Tofu: Ranma, wait a moment. Akane is looking back at them but is out of hearing range. Dr. Tofu: I don't know what your fight was about, but why don't you just try to get along with Akane. Ranma: It's not that I like to fight her ... she just hits first then listens. Dr. Toufu: She really is a very nice girl, underneath. Ranma: Yeah, right. Dr. Tofu: You'll see, she's as sweet as a cup of honey. Dr. Tofu pats Ranma on the back as he leaves. Dr. Tofu: You'll see what I'm talking about very soon. Ranma and Akane are walking back to the dojo. Akane does not look at Ranma. Akane: What did you talk about? Ranma: Nothing ... he was just saying that a tomboy like you should live with her hands tied so you wont hurt anybody. Ranma takes a battle ready posture. Ranma: (thinking) Now she'll get angry. Akane: .... Maybe he's right ... Ranma is surprised by Akane's answer. He tries to look her in the face, but she turns away. Ranma: Hey, what's wrong? I was only kidding. Akane: I knew that! What's your problem!? Do you want to fight me!? Ranma: Yeah! Now that's the Akane I know ... you look nice when you get angry. Akane: Ranma! Akane tries to hit Ranma with her school bag, but she misses as Ranma dodged to a side. Back in Dr. Tofu's Dr. Tofu sits in his room, looking at the wall clock, and drinking some tea. Dr. Tofu: Three ... two ... one ... Suddenly Ranma's legs fold under him. Ranma: Huh?! Akane notices him falling back and stops. Akane: What happened? Ranma: My legs... (thinking back to Dr. Tofu's pat) The doctor must have done this. Akane crouches down before him and takes his arms over her shoulders from the back. Ranma: Uh, what're you doing? Akane: I'm going to carry you. Ranma: What! I can't let you do that! What if somebody sees us! It'll be embarrassing for me to be carried by a girl! SPLASH! Akane splashes Ranma with a water hose. Akane: If you are a girl then there's no problem, right? As he is carried piggyback by Akane, Ranma thinks back to Dr. Tofu's words. Dr. Toufu (remembered): She's really a nice girl. Ranma: (thinking) Could that be true? Dr. Tofu (remembered): You'll see ... Ranma: (thinking) I guess so .... -------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter seven is done.

The distraction makes the three combatants fall into the koi pond. Genma: Thank you Kasumi. SPLASH! SPOLSH! SPLASH! A few minutes later, Genma is at the table, in panda form, Ranko, wearing her little fairy clothes is sitting on a cup turned upside down while eating her rice and Ranma-chan is drying her clothes sitting at the door. Genma: (raises a sign) 'I got a part-time job.' Ranma-chan: (drying her shirt) A part-time job, where? At the zoo? Genma: (another sign) 'Very funny.' Kasumi: The hot water is ready, Akane went to get it. Fairy-Ranko: Thank you Kasumi. Ranma-chan: Yeah. Soun comes in, with a tooth brush in his mouth. Soun: So, you two were practicing? Very good. Ranma-chan: (Still topless) Good morning. Soun gets shocked and rams the tooth brush deep in his mouth. Akane comes by and splashes Ranma with the hot water. Akane: Could you at least wear a shirt when you are like that!? Later, Ranma and Akane are sitting on the table, Ranko is still in her cursed form. (Witch is good considering that if she turns back she'll be naked.) Ranma: And why should I be embarrassed? I'm a man. Akane: Still! You should be! Fairy-Ranko: You know brother ... she is right, don't forget that you look exactly like me when you are in you cursed form. Ranma: Huh? What does that have to do with anything? Before Ranko could answer, Kasumi interrupts. Kasumi: Say Akane, I have to return this book to Dr. Tofu, could you give it to him for me? Akane lowers her head. Akane: N ... no Kasumi ... I can't ... I'm ... very busy. Kasumi: Huh? Alright, I'll return it when I go buy the groceries. Ranma: Why don't you go Akane? You can use this as an excuse to ... HEY! Akane: Let's go Ranma! Akane grabs Ranma by his pig-tail and runs off to school. Fairy-Ranko finishes her breakfast and flies off the table. Fairy-Ranko: I'll go change upstairs. Then she looks at Soun. Airy-Ranko: Mr. Tendo ... shouldn't you take out the toothbrush out of your mouth? Meanwhile, Akane is running through the streets of Nerima, dragging Ranma behind her by his pig-tail. Ranma: Hey! What's the rush! As they walk by a house, a little old lady is tossing water on the streets. SPLASH! Akane doen't notice that Ranma had changed. Ranma-chan: Hey! Stop! Akane: Shut up! The two reach school, Akane places Ranma against a wall. Akane: Look now! You are talking too much! Ranma-chan: Huh? Like when? Akane: Like at the table about Dr. Tofu! Akane then notices that Ranma is in his cursed form. And to make sure she opens Ranma's chinese shirt. Ranma-chan: I told you to stop. Akane is about to answer when she notices all the boys there trying to get a peek of Ranma's uncovered chest. Ranma-chan: Hey! This isn't a free show! Akane turns around and takes a battle ready stance. Akana: Okay! Who's first!? Boy 1: Nobody, we desist. Boy 2: We have all accepted your engagement to Ranma. Ranma-chan: Eh!? What do you mean!? Akane: (looks at Ranma) close your shirt! (looks at the boys) I don't understand. They hear Kuno's voice from a side. Kuno: There is a stupid rumor that says that Ranma defeated me, Kuno Tatewaki, the Blue Thunder. They all turn to look at Kuno, he looks like a mummy, covered all up in bandages. Kuno: But I shall never accept that defeat! Boy 1: Kuno is the strongest of all of us. Boy 2: If Saotome defeated him then we don't stand a chance. Kuno takes off the bandages from his face, revealing two foot marks on his eyes and nose. Kuno: I shall nevver be defeated! Ranma can hit me a hundred times if he wants! He's just a coward! Ranma hears this and steps forward. Ranma-chan: Who are you calling a coward!? Why don't you just admit that you lost!? Akane: Ranma ... not now ... Kuno: AH! But if it's Ranko Saotome! Akane: You forgot that you were in cursed form? Kuno takes Ranma's hands in his. Kuno: We are finally together again. Ranma-chan: Aren't you in love with Akane? Kuno: Yes, of course I am. Ranma-chan: Well, she is watching. Ranma and Kuno turn to look at Akane, but she is looking the other way. Ranma-chan: Hey! Akane: I didn’t know ... Sempai Kuno ... if you love that girl then I'll step aside. Ranma-chan: EH! What's wrong with you!? Kuno: She steps aside ... how noble ... I can't leave her. Kuno tries to hug Akane and Ranma. Kuno: I love you both! SLAM! CRASH! Akane and Ranma both hit Kuno right on the face. He falls flat on the school yard. Akane and Ranma walk to the school. Boy 1: Good bye, and say hello to Ranma when you see him. Akane: Yeah, sure. Ranma-chan: ...... Just as Ranma and Akane walk into the school, Ranko enters the school compound. Ranko: Hi everybody. Boy 1: Huh? Ranko? Boy 2: How did you get out here so fast? Ranko: Huh? A few hours later, in gym class. Ranma is doing some acrobatic movements on the gymnastic bar. Then jumps down. All the other students clap him. As Ranma sits down, two of the boys that sit down next to him begin to whisper. Boy 1: So, you learned acrobatic moves in China? Ranma: No, that was just kempo stuff. Boy 1: So. How far did you get with Akane? Ranma: Huh?! Boy 2: Don't pretend. You're fiancées, aren't you? Boy 1: Surely you've .... and .... and... Ranma: I never did that! She's just a macho chik! I don't care about her at all! At the baseball field, is Ranko's turn at the bat. Ranko: YAAAHHH! SLAM! It looks like it was going to be a home run, but Akane, who's in right field, jumps up and manages to catch the ball. Ranko: Hey, good jump Akane. Akane: Your swing wasn’t half bad either. Couch: Okay! Let's change sides! The girls switch positions. All girls are glad that Ranko has come to school, till now all the baseball games were really boring, Akane's team always won. But now that Ranko is here, and in the other team, games were getting interesting. Boy 1: What do you mean? She's cute! Ranma: Not at all, she's just a tomboy, besides, she likes someone else. Boy 2: You know who is also really good looking? Your sister Ranko! Boy 1: Yeah! I heard that she came in school today with her shirt open, and she wasn't wearing a bra! Ranma: Eh!? Don't say those things about my sister! Suddenly Ranma understood what Ranko meant at breakfast this morning, he looked excactly like his sister when in cursed form, and whatever he did, everybody would think that it was Ranko. Therefor, he had better be more careful in cursed form. Ranko is at the pitchers mound, she has made strike after strike, and it's Akane's turn at the bat. Akane: Come on Ranko ... show me what you got! Ranko: Alright! THERE! Ranko shoots a fast ball, Akane swings the bat just in time, but Ranko's pitch is too strong, and the ball only changes direction, towards Ranma's face. SLOCK! Boy 1: Say Ranma ... if you are an expert, then why didn't you dodge that? Ranma: It caught me of guard. Akane: Ooops ... Ranko: Sorry brother ... Ranma: ............ Later, Ranma, with a badge on his cheek, Ranko and Akane were walking to Dr. Tofu's. Ranma: ........... Ranko: Aw! Come on brother ... we said we were sorry. Akane: Yeah Ranma ... talk to us already. The three stop when they see Genma (in male form) sweeping the entrance of Dr. Tofu's clinic. Akane: Mr. Saotome? Ranko: Dad? Ranma: What are you doing here? Genma raises a hand to say hi to them, then Dr. Tofu walks out of the clinic. Dr. Tofu: Good morning Akane ... good morning Ranma ... oh, and you must be Ranma's sister, Ranko, nice to meet you. Ranko: Hum ... hi. Dr. Tofu: Let me introduce you to my new assistant, Mr. Saotome, he's starting to work this very day. Now everybody is inside the clinic, Ranma is sitting on the examination table. Dr. Tofu: So, Mr. Saotome is Ranma's and Ranko's father? I don't see the resemblance. He turns to look at Ranma. Dr. Tofu: So, Ranma, what happened? Ranma: Nothing ... just a little incident in sports practice ... Dr. Tofu: Don't worry ... I have a herbal balm that will make that heal in no time ... I'll go get it. As Dr. Tofu exits the room, the phone rings. Dr. Tofu: Ah! Mr. Saotome, could you get that. Genma walks to the phone and pick up the receiver, he holds it to his mouth, then realizes that he is in his cursed form so he can't talk. Genma: (Raising a sign) I forgot! Pandas can't talk! Ranma: Then why did you answer the phone in the first place. Ranko sighs and walks to answer the phone. Ranko: Hello ... Dr. Tofu's ... oh, hi Kasumi. Akane raises her head when she hears Kasumi's name. Ranko: Huh? Okay ... yeah sure, goo bye. CLICK. Ranko hungs up the phone. Ranko: That was Kasumi, she's coming over to return that book that she borrowed. Akane: (walking out) I got to go. Ranko: Huh? Ranma follows her. Ranma: Hey! Akane! What's wrong? Akane: Nothing is wrong. The two enter the waiting room Ranma: Then why don't you stay? I know that you have a crush on Dr. ... Humf. Akane covers Ranma's mouth with her hands. Akane: Just be quiet! The problem is that Dr. Tofu is in love with someone else. Ranma: Huh? Really? Who? Akane: It's the person that just called. Ranma: Kasumi? Akane just nods. Meanwhile, in the shopping district. Shop-keeper: Hi Kasumi, were are you going today? Kasumi: Oh, just going to Dr. Tofu's to return a book. ---------------------------------------- This is the end of chapter 8.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 9: Inside Dr. Tofu's clinic waiting room, Akane and Ranma are talking. Ranma: Dr. Tofu has a crush on Kasumi? Akane: Yes ... you just have to see him when he sees Kasumi, he's crazy about her. Akane lowers her head. At that moment, Dr. Tofu enters. Dr. Tofu: What are you two doing here? Akane: Hum ... Ranma: Eh ... nothing ... just talking. Dr. Tofu: I have the balm, come in so I can cure that bruise. Akane and Ranma walk back to Dr. Tofu's office. Inside. Ranko and Akane are drinking tea, Ranko notices Akane's sad face. Ranko: It's there something wrong Akane? Akane: Huh? No ... (thinking) I lost my chance to leave ... Dr. Tofu: Okay Ranma ... let's see that bruise. Ranma takes off his bandage and Dr. Tofu looks at the wound. Dr. Tofu: Hmm ... I see that you got hit by a baseball ... it was Akane, right? Ranma: Huh? How can you tell? Dr. Tofu: By how deep the hit went, and the angle of penetration. Ranma: Wow! I never knew that Akane's brutality could be calculated like that! Ranko: Hey! She only hit the ball! I was the one that made the pitch! Akane: Yeah! It was all your fault anyway! You should have dodged that! Dr. Tofu looks at Ranko, then at Akane. Dr. Tofu: Akane? It was really you? I was only joking. Akane: Huh? Ranko: Ooops ... Akane hungs her head and blushes. Ranko: Sorry Akane ... I shouldn't have talked ... Akane: It's ok Ranko ... it's my fault that I yelled ... Dr. Tofu: Don't worry Akane ... we all lose our temper every once in a while, it's completely natural. Akane blushes even more. Akane: Yeah ... but ... Ranma: It's just that she's crazy about someone ... BONK! Ranma hold his head and turns to look at Ranko. Ranma: OUCH! Why did you do that Ranko!? Ranko: You have to learn how to shut up you know! Dr. Tofu chuckles. Dr. Tofu: I see that you get along like brother and sister. Ranma / Ranko: It's all her / his fault anyway! Dr. Tofu: Now ... calm down you two ... Ranma, I'm going to apply the balm now. Just at the moment that Dr. Tofu is holding Ranma's head, the door opens and Kasumi walks in. Kasumi: Hello. Akane: (thinking) Kasumi ... As Kasumi speaks, Dr. Tofu's glasses fog up, and he twists Ranma's head to a side, and a loud crack fills the room. CRACK! Ranma: OUCH!!!! Ranko: Wow ... I never knew that you could twist your head like that brother. Ranma: I can't! That's why it hurts! Ranko: Oh ... Dr. Tofu: H ... Hello ... K ... Kasumi ... Kasmui: What was that noise? Kasumi notices Ranma and his unusual head position. Kasumi: Ranma? It's there something wrong with your neck? Dr. Tofu: Ranma has been a regular customer very recently ... right Ranma? Dr. Tofu looks at Genma as he talks. Genma (holding up a sign): I'm Genma! Ranma: Hum ... Dr. Tofu? Dr. Tofu: So Kasumi ... what can I do for you? Kasumi: Oh, this. Kasumi hands the book to Dr. Tofu. Ranma: Dr. Tofu!? Dr. Tofu: A book about human pressure points! Just what I needed. Kasumi: It's yours. Dr. Toufuu: Really? Oh, thank you Kasumi, you shouldn't have... Ranma: Dr. Tofu! Kasumi: I also brought this cookies for you. Dr. Tofu: (Eating the plate) Thank you Kasumi ... they are delicious. Kasumi: (Smiling) That's the plate. Ranma: Dr. Tofu!! Dr. Tofu looks at Ranma. Dr. Tofu: Hello again Ranma. I see that you twisted your neck. Ranma: I didn't! You did it! Dr. Tofu: Well ... don't worry, I'll fix that right away. He twists Ranma's head to the other side. CRACK! Ranko: Ouch ... that's gonna leave a mark ... Ranma: NOT FUNNY RANKO! Dr. Tofu looks at his practice skeleton, Betty-chan. Dr. Tofu: Mr. Saotome could you give Kasumi a cup of tea? Genma (holds up a sign): I'm over here! Kasumi turns to talk to Akane. Kasumi: Dr. Tofu it's strange some times, don't you think so? Akane: Maybe ... but he's completely normal when you aren't here. Kasumi: Really? Akane grabs her school bag and exits the room. Akane: I'm going back home, good bye. Kasumi: Huh? Why? Behind them, Dr. Tofu is talking to Ranko. Dr. Tofu: Oh? And who might you be? Ranko: I told you before! I'm Ranko, Ranma's twin sister! Dr. Tofu: And since when do you work for me? Ranko: I don't! My dad works here. Ranko points towards Genma. Kasumi: I wonder what was wrong with Akane, we could have walked home together. Dr. Tofu: Mr. Saotome? Since when you turn into a panda? Genma (holds up a sign): Since last summer. Ranko: Gee ... what's wrong with this guy? Ranma stands up and goes after Akane. Outside, many people want to enter Dr. Tofu's clinic. Person 1: Why are you all out here? Person 2: Dr. Tofu is with Kasumi. Person 3: It's healthier if we don't go in for now. Person 2: Yeah ... now, it could be a mortal weapon. Just then, Ranma walks out of the clinic. Person 2: See? The others nod. After a while, Ranma reaches the dojo. Ranma: Excuse me Nabiki ... have you seen Akane? Nabiki: Akane? Sure ... she's at the back side of the dojo. What happened to your neck? Ranma dismisses the question and walks to the back side of the dojo, there he sees Akane as she breaks brick after brick. Ranma: (thinking) Is she ... crying? Akane runs out of bricks, so she stands up and turns to face the wall. Akane: (thinking) I feel better now ... When she looks down, she notices that Ranma is making a face to her. BLAM! Akane slams Ranma's head to the floor. Akane: What's wrong with you!? Ranma: (still lying on the floor) I see that you are better now. Akane: Not really ... And don't try to cheer me up, you are no good at it. Ranma stands up. Ranma: What do you mean I'm not good at it ... Huh? Ranma turns his head. Ranma: Hey! That hit fixed my neck! Akane: Great ... want to go sparring? Ranma: Huh? Inside the dojo, Akane tries to hit Ranma over and over, but he just jumps and dodges every attack. Akane: What are you doing!? Hit me back! Ranma: Huh? But ... Akane: It's no good if you don't hit back! Ranma: How do you manage to be angry all the time? Akane: Shut up! Ranma dodges yet another punch from Akane. Ranma: You know ... you look cute when you smile. This takes Akane by surprise, and she stops, Ranma pokes her on the forehead and Akane falls back. Akane: .... HEY! You cheated! Ranma chuckles and leaves the dojo. A few hours later, Akane has finished taking a bath and walks into her room. Akane: (recalling what Ranma said) You look cute when you smile. Akane walks over to a mirror. Akane: (thinking) could he have been serious? Akane holds up the mirror and smiles. Ranma: What are you doing? Now you smile for no reason? Ranma is right in Akane's window, Akane looks at him. BONK! CRASH! CRACK! OUCH! Later in Ranma's and Genma's room (being a girl, Ranko has a room for herself) Genma looks at Ranma, his neck is twisted again. Genma: Still with the neck? Ranma: Humf ... yeah ... Genma: Doesn't it hurt? Ranma: Only when I breathe ... -------------------------------------------- Another chapter is done, in the next chapter: Ryoga shows up!

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 10: The bell of the village was warning everybody of the upcoming danger. Villager: Everybody run! A wild hog is coming! The hog was huge, about two meters tall, and was rampaging trough everything. A young boy wearing a yellow shirt, and black pants was walking calmly with his back at the hog. He had a big back pack on his back, and a red umbrella in his right hand. He didn't notice the coming hog. Villager: Hey! You! Over the road! Watch out! The boy slowly turned around, and looked at the coming hog. He wasn't afraid of it, in fact, he just held up his umbrella, and at the right moment ... SWOP! The boy stopped the hog with just his umbrella, then he moved it and the hog went flying up and far away. Villager: Did ... did you see that? He defeated the hog with just one hand! Another villager: Yeah ... let's go see if he's ok." A group of villagers walked towards the boy. Villager 1: Are you alright? The boy slowly turned his head, and handed them a little map. Boy: Where is Furinkan High School? One of the villagers looked at the map. Villager 2: But ... this is a map of Tokyo! This is Shikoku! Boy: Oh ... I see ... sorry to bother you. The boy picked back his little map and turned around to leave. Boy: (thinking) You'll see Ranma! We'll have our duel! And Ranko ... I will never forget what you did! Meanwhile, at the Tendo Dojo. It's a very rainy day in Nerima, and rain means only one thing for Ranma and Ranko: cursed forms. Fairy-Ranko: He's here! Ranma-chan: Ranko! How could you!? Ranko, in her fairy form, is wearing her little fairy clothes. Ranma, in the other hand, is also in cursed form, but only wearing boxers and a towel around her neck. Kasumi, Nabiki and Akane run to were Ranma was hiding, and Ranko flies next to them. Ranma-chan: There's no way I'm wearing girls clothes! Kasumi: Look Ranma ... your clothes aren't dry because of the rain, and we can't heat more water now, it's too expensive. Nabiki: You just can't walk around the house naked like that. Akane: Yeah ... so you have no choice, let's go to Ranko's room. Ranma-chan: But ... Later, in Ranko's room. Fairy-Ranko: Don't worry brother, you look like me in cursed form, so all my normal clothes will fit well on you. Ranma-chan: I know ... that's what I'm afraid of ... Kasumi: Do you think this would look good on Ranma? Nabiki: I don't know ... maybe this one. Ranma-chan: Hey! You! There's NO WAY that I'm wearing a skirt! You hear!? A few minutes later, after trying on some of Ranko's clothes, Ranma is dressed in Ranko's normal clothes of a yellow chinese shirt and pink pants. Fairy-Ranko: See? It's not so bad. Ranma-chan: Yeah ... I guess ... Kasumi: You look so much like Ranko dressed like that, that is kind of creepy. Nabiki: Yeah. Meanwhile, someplace else in Japan. Boy: Excuse me, were is Furinkan High School? Man: How should I know? This is Hokkaido! One week later. The same boy is standing in front of Furinkan High School, as one of the students walk by him, he grabs him by the collar of his shirt towards him. Student: Hey! What's your problem!? Boy: Were is Furinkan High!? Student: Huh? Boy: Answer me! The student points at a sign at the school door, it clearly reads "Furinkan High School." Boy: Were is Ranma Saotome!? Student: Ranma? He's right over there. Inside the school compound, Ranma is running away from a very angry Akane and Ranko. Akane: Ranma! Ranko: Come here brother! Ranma: Nya, nya! Can't get me! Ranma jumps up and high. Ranma: (thinking) Huh? Something dangerous ... Ranma looks up as the boy from before is falling on him, umbrella ready to strike. Ranma flips in mid air and jumps back. The boy falls on the concrete floor, making a huge hole were he falls. Boy: You didn't change one bit Ranma ... always running away. Ranma was about to ask the boy who he was, when suddenly Ranko comes running from behind, she looks very happy. Ranko: Ryoga! Ryoga-kun it's you! It's really you! Ranma: (thinking) Oh, yeah ... now I remember, he's Ranko's boyfriend, Ryoga Hibiki. When Ranko is about to reach Ryoga, he raises an arm in a 'stop' fashion. Ranko: Ryoga-kun? Ryoga: Don't call me that Ranko ... because of our past I wont do any harm to you ... but I haven't forgiven you, and I don't want to see you ever again. Ranko's eyes begin to get glassy with tear, she covers her face and runs away towards the dojo. Akane: Ranko? Ranma: Hey! Ryoga! What's your problem! You have any idea how much she had missed you!? Now go after her and apologize! Ryoga: Shut up and answer me this Ranmal. WHY DIDN"T YOU SHOW UP FOR OUR DUEL!? Akane: Duel? Ranma turns to look at Akane. Ranma: Akane, could you go and talk to Ranko? I'll handle this. Akane: Okay ... but you better tell me everything later. Ranma: I will, now go. Akane nods and exits the school compound. Ranma turns to look at Ryoga. Ryoga: Well? Answer me! Ranma: I waited for you for three days. Ryoga: I ... was there after four days ... and you weren't there. Ranma: Ryoga, can I ask you something? How come that it took you four days to reach the place of the duel, if the place of the duel was the empty loot at the back of your house? Ryoga: How dare you!? Do you think that I was just fooling around for those four days!? I was looking for that empty loot like crazy! The boys around them are starting to talk. Boy 1: Did he said he wondered around for four days? Boy 2: He must not have a very good sense of direction. Boy 3: I think that he doesn't have a sense of direction at all. Ranma: You should have asked Ranko to guide you, like always. Ryoga: That's not the point! You weren't there, and you ran away to China with your father! Ryoga throws his umbrella to Ranma, who jumps over it. Th umbrella spins around, then returns to Ryoga's hand. Ryoga: I'm going to kill you Ranma Saotome! Here and now! Ryoga runs towards Ranma, Ranma waits for him with a battle ready stance. Meanwhile, at the Tendo residence. Akane is in front of Ranko's bedroom, and she knocks the door. Akane: Ranko? Ranko: (from inside the bedroom) GO AWAY! Akane: Ranko ... it's me, Akane ... let's talk ... Ranko doesn't answer, so Akane opens the door. Inside, Ranko, still with her school uniform, is lying on her futton, her face buried on the pillow, and she looks like she's crying. Akane: Ranko? Are you alright? Who was that? Akane asks as she kneels down next to Ranko. Ranko raises her head, Akane notices the little trails of dried tears on Ranko's face. Ranko: Akane ... he ... he was so mean. Why? Akane: Was he your boyfriend from your old neighborhood? Ranko nods. Ranko: Yes, his name is Ryoga Hibiki ... we met one day when I was walking to my school, and Ryoga to his and Ranma's school ... he was lost. Akane: Lost in his way to school? Ranko: He has this terrible sense of direction. So I guided him to his school ... then it turned into an everyday routine and things began to snowball from there. Akane: I see ... he looked pretty upset with you? Did you do something to him? Ranko: No ... I haven't seen him since dad, Ranma and I went to China on that training trip. Akane: Are you sure you didn't do anything? Then what about that duel he was talking about with Ranma? Ranko: Duel? Oh ... that lunch hour thing. Akane: Huh? Ranko: You see ... I went to an all girl school, and Ranma and Ryoga to an all boys school. Akane: All boys school!? Ranko: Back then Ranma was a gut 24 hours a day, he hasn't always have the curse you know. Akane: Yes ... sorry ... go on. Ranko: Well, at lunch hour, Ranma would always get the best breads, day after day. Ryoga got very angry with him, I tried to talk him out of that stupid duel, but he insisted. Akane: I see. But that doesn't explain why he reacted the way he did when he saw you. Ranko looks like if she was about to cry again. Ranko: I ... know ... Akane: Hum ... do you want to go and break some bricks? That always relaxes me. Ranko slowly stands up. Ranko: Alright ... let's go ... Akane: (thinking) Poor girl ... I wonder what happened? -------------------------------------------- Chapter 10 is done. I hope you liked it.

Ryoga is walking aimlessly. Ryoga: You'll see Ranma Saotome! I'll get you ... Ryoga raises his hand in witch he is holding two nuts. CRUSH! With just closing his hand he crushes the two nuts. Ryoga: Like this nuts ... I'll split your neck in half! Meanwhile, back at the Tendo Dojo. Kasumi: Hey Ranma! A letter from some guy named Ryoga Hibiki arrived for you. Ranma turns around. Ranma: Huh? Give me that. Kasumi hands the letter to Ranma, Akane walks over to him. Akane: Didn't you fight with him the other day at school? Ranma: Huh? Yeah ... but after a few minutes, I jumped aside and he kept going, trough the school, literally and didn't come back. Akane: Oh, yeah ... Ranko told me about his terrible sense of direction. Ranma: Did she told you about why he's so upset with me? Akane: You don't remember? Well then, I'll tell you, it's because you always had all the good stuff at lunch hour back in mid school. Ranma: Oh yeah! Now I remember. Akane: Hey. That letter says that the duel was yesterday! Ranma: I know ... but with his terrible sense of direction, he is oing to be there in a week or so. Ranma folds the letter and stuffs it in his pocket. Ranma: Have you seen Ranko? Akane: .... She ... she's at the back side of the dojo. At that same time, at the back side of the dojo. Ranko, dressed in her white gi, is crushing a pile of bricks with just one hand. YAAAH! CRASH! Ranko stands up, there are no more bricks to crush. But she doesn't look happy. Ranko: (thinking) I ... I don't feel better ... A little tear comes out of her eyes. Ranko: (thinking) Why Ryoga? What did I do for you to hate me like that? A week later, in the soccer field of Furinkan High School. Ryoga and Ranma are facing each other in the middle of the field, the rest of the school students are gathered around the field. Among them we can see Akane and also Ranko. Akane: Say Ranko ... who do you want to win this duel? Your brother or Ryoga? Ranko: I ... I don't know ... Akane: I see ... even after what Ryoga said ... you still love him don't you. Ranko just nods. At the middle of the field ... Ryoga: Ranma, I see that you haven't run away from me. Ranma: You are the one that always gets lost. Anyway, I'm here to put an end to this once and for all ... here! Ranma tosses something at Ryoga, Ryoga catches it and notices that it’s a curry bread. Ryoga: What ... is ... this? Ranma: I'm canceling my debt. Ryoga: What!? Are you kidding!? Ranma: Gee ... alright, alright, here ... Ranma tosses another bread at Ryoga, and another, and another. Ranma: That's all of what I can remember. Ryoga: You idiot! You think that this is all just about a bunch of breads! Ranko hears what Ryoga said. Ranko: (thinking) Huh? If it isn't the breads ... then what is it? Ranma: I don't get it ... weren't you angry about that? Ryoga: No, it's not that ... (looks at the breads) besides ...this breads are all one week old. Ranma: Of course they are ... I have been waiting a week for you to come here. Ryoga puts his back pack down and grabs his umbrella. Ryoga: That's it! I'll kill you right now! Ryoga rushes towards Ranma striking with his umbrella, Ranma just retreats to dodge him. Then jumps, Ryoga also jumps. Ranma: Wait ... can you at least tell me why are you so angry with me and my sister? Ryoga: You wouldn't understand! Because of you two! My life is ruined forever! Ranma dodges another strike from Ryoga as the two fall back to the field. Ranma: What do you mean? Ryoga: My suffering ... you'll never understand it! Prepare to die! Ryoga tosses his umbrella at Ranma, who dodges it. The umbrella keeps going and comes to rest on one side of the field. Then Ryoga takes out his bandana just to reveal another one under it. He uses it to grab Ranma by the wrist. Ryoga: Now you wont run away! Ranma: Hey ... just how much bandanas are you wearing? Ryoga: That's all you have to say!? Ranma and Ryoga begin a quick exchange of punches and kicks. Meanwhile, at one side of the field. Ranko: I don't get it ... what does he mean with that about Ranma and me ruining his life forever? Akane: Humf! Hey ... this is heavy! Ranko turns to look at Akane, who barely lifts Ryoga's umbrella. Ranko: What's wrong Akane? Akane: The umbrella ... it's too heavy ... like if it was made out of lead. Ranko: And Ryoga just lifts it with just one hand ... Akane turns to look at the fight. Akane: Ranma! Watch out! He's too strong! Ryoga strikes at Ranma again, this time he barely misses and makes a little cut in Ranma's cheek. Ryoga: Heh, heh, heh. Ranma places his hand on his cheek and looks at it, Ryoga's cut had made first blood. Ranma: Alright Ryoga, you asked for it! Now I'm gonna get serious! --------------------------------------------------- Chapter 11 is done. I hope you liked it.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 12: Ranma is trying his best to counter attack Ryoga, but can't find an opening. At the side, The students are watching. Akane: Wow ... Ranko, who do you think that is going to win this fight? Ranko: If this keeps up ... Ranma will win. Akane: Huh? But can't even attack Ryoga. Ranko: Actually, he doesn't want to, I know my brother, I fight him every day. Akane: I see ... but I don't understand ... why is he not attacking. Ranko: He will, soon. Ryoga is losing his temper because he can't land a blow. You see, Ryoga is strong, but Ranma is fast, and that gives him an edge. Akane: Wow Ranko ... you are really observant. Ranko turns to smile at Akane. Ranko: Thanks. Then she turns back at the fight. Ranko: (thinking) I just wish that those two weren't fighting. Back at the fight. Ryoga: GOT YOU! Ryoga launches another punch at Ranma. Ranma: (thinking) Now! Ranma slips down and between Ryoga's legs, then he kicks Ryoga on the back. This makes Ryoga fall face first on the ground, and Ranma on top of him. Ranma: Had enough Ryoga? Ryoga: Hmf ... you are good ... Ryoga then uses his free hand to make a hand-stand, lifting him and Ranma. Ryoga: BUT I'M BETTER! Ryoga uses his hand to jump high into the air. At the side of the soccer field. Student: Amazing! He just jumped with only one hand ... and carrying Ranma on his back! Ryoga flips in mid air, and is about to fall on the ground, Ranma first. But Ranma turns at just a few inches off the ground, pushes aside with his arms, and kicks Ryoga on the chest with all his might. This breaks the bandanna that is holding them by the wrist, and Ryoga is sent flying towards the crowd. Student: Incoming! Everybody runs away, and Ryoga falls on his back with a loud thud. Ranko runs, worried, towards him. Ranko: Ryoga-kun! Are you okay? Ryoga pushes Ranko aside. Ryoga: I told you Ranko! Get away from me! Ranma: Be nice to my sister! Ranma is about to fall on Ryoga with a kick, but Ryoga deflects his attack with a kick of his own. Ryoga: (thinking) My umbrella ... Ryoga runs to a side, were his umbrella is lying on the ground, and picks it up. Ryoga: YAAHH! Ryoga attempts another attack at Ranma. Ranma turns to a side, but Ryoga's attack makes a cut on his shirt just at chest level. Ranma: Hey! This was my favorite shirt! Ryoga: We are fighting, and you just are worried about your clothes, like a girl. Ranko: (thinking) Oh, oh ... Ryoga called Ranma a girl ... Ranma: Girl ... Ranko: (thinking) That's NOT good. Ranma runs towards Ryoga, fury on his face. Ranma: WHO'S A GIRL! Ranma kicks Ryoga with all his might, sending him over the wire that surrounds the field. Just as Ryoga stands up, Ranma jumps after him, and Ryoga runs towards the park. Akane: They are heading for the park ... Ranko: Let's follow them! Everybody runs towards the park. At the park, Ryoga is waiting for Ranma to land over him with a kick as he is standing on a water sink. Ranma: Take back what you said! Ryoga jumps aside just in time, and Ranma splits the water sink in half. SWOSH! A tower of water can be seen from far away. Akane: Water ... Ranko: That means that Ranma will ... Akane: Let's hurry up! Ranko nods and the two run towards the water tower that they saw. At the water tower. Ryoga is using his umbrella to keep from getting wet. He turns around when he hears a noise, and deflects a kick from his attacker. Ryoga: Huh? Only that his attacker wasn't Ranma ... in fact it looked like Ranko. But how did she got here so fast? Ranma-chan: Ryoga! Fight! Ryoga: Huh? Ranko? What are you doing? The fight is with your brother. Ranma-chan: Who are you calling Ranko! I'm Ranma! Don't you have eyes! Ryoga: Huh? Ranma? Ranma-chan: Of course I'm Ranma! Just then Ranko and Akane reach the park. Ranko: Brother! Cover your chest! Ranma looks down and notices that her shirt is still cut at chest level, and that her breasts are showing. She covers them with her arms. Ryoga is looking back and forth to Ranma then to Ranko. Ryoga: Two Rankos? Ranko: Ryoga ... that's Ranma ... he has a curse and ... Ranma-chan: Don't talk Ranko ... I can do that myself! Ranko: Hum ... yes ... sorry brother. Ryoga: Curse? With the cold water? Ranma turns to look at Ryoga. Ranma-chan: Now you know it Ryoga ... you can laugh all you want ... I don't know why you hate me so much ... but I suffer too ... I turn into this! Ryoga just smiles. Ryoga: You call that a curse? You think you are so unlucky huh? Ryoga takes off more of his bandanas and spins them around. Ryoga: I'm going to kill you now! Ryoga tosses all of his bandanas towards Ranma, who dodges them, Ryoga begins tossing more and more of them. Ranko: Akane! This is getting out of hand! You better run away! Akane: But ... Ranko: Don't worry ... if things get out of hand ... I'll help Ranma ... Akane: Ok ... I'm going to go get some hot water. Ranko nods and Akane leaves.

Ryoga picks up four of his bandannas, and tosses them. Ryoga: ... you'll never escape four of my bandanas! Ranma looks at the incoming attack, using her right hand, Ranma picks the umbrella in mid air. Ranma-chan: I learned this watching Ranko in baseball practice! Ranma uses the umbrella as a baseball bat, and deflects all four bandanas. Ranko: Ahhh! But Ranma didn't notice that she deflected them towards were Ranko was standing. Ranma-chan: Sister! Ranma is about to jump over to save Ranko when suddenly, Ryoga takes off his belt, presses it turning into a blade, and tosses it towards the bandanas. The blade deflects the bandanas making them hit a tree, the blade goes flying up. Ranma-chan: Ryoga ... Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... you ... Ryoga: I ... I just want to kill Ranma ... not you ... Ranko: (thinking) Could ... could he still be in love with me? Ryoga: (thinking) Ranko ... if only you hadn't ... I ... why did you did it Ranko? Why? Forgetting that tough, Ryoga runs towards Ranma, and the two begin an exchange of kicks and punches. At that moment, Akane comes back carrying a steaming kettle. Akane: Ranma, I got the hot water! Ranma-chan: Akane!? Ranko: Watch out above you! The warning comes too late, as Ryoga's belt blade comes falling down and cuts Akane's hair. Ranko: .............. Ranma-chan: A ... Akane .... Ryoga: Was ... was it my belt? Just at that moment, all of the other students come at the fighting scene, and they notice what happened to Akane's hair. Ranko, seeing that they may notice that Ranma looks just like her now, picks up the kettle that Akane dropped to the ground and splashes Ranma with it. Ranma, now a boy, walks over to Akane, and waves his hand at her face. Ranma: Hello? Are you okay? She's like in a shock. Ranko: Of course he is you silly! She just lost half of her hair! But how can I expect you to understand something as feminine as that. Ranma: Akane ... Ryoga: At least she didn't got hurt ... Ranma: What!? You think she didn't got hurt! Think again! Ranma turns to look at Akane. Ranma: Akane ... I'm sorry ... this was my fight ... if it makes you feel better, why don't you punch me? Ryoga: Yeah ... me too ... Ranko: Hum ... guys ... I wouldn't recommend that ... Too late. BONK! SLAP! Akane turns around and leaves, leaving Ranma and Ryoga with two huge red cheeks. Ranma: I see Ranko's point ... Ryoga: .....................

Kasumi: Were you fighting again? Akane doesn't answer right away, she just hungs her head down, then she nods. Kasumi: Thank you for taking care of Akane. Dr. Tofu: Eh? ... hum ... yes ... no ... I mean ... Ehhhhh ... Akane and Kasumi are walking back home. Kasumi: Akane, you look like a boy, you should try and be more feminine. Or else Dr. Tofu won't like you anymore. Akane: (thinking) If ... If I had long hair ... maybe Dr. Tofu would look at me the way he looks at Kasumi. TOC! TOC! A knock at the door turns Akane back to reality. Akane: I don't want to talk ... Ranko: Akane ... it's me ... Akane: Please Ranko ... not now ... Ranko: You helped me ... now is my turn ... Ranko opens the door, and sees Akane sitting at her desk, she walks and sits at the bed. Ranko: Now tell me Akane ... this is more than just losing your hair ... Ranma told me about the crush you have for Dr. Tofu ... does this has something to do with it? Akane nods. Akane: I ... I always tough that if I let my hair grow, he would begin to look me like he looks at Kasumi. Ranko: Oh ... and how do you feel now? Akane turns her head, and Ranko can see that she is crying. Even if Akane is trying to hold it. Akane: I ... I just ... Akane finally breaks into tears completely. And she hugs Ranko. Akane: BWAAAA ... RANKO! Ranko just places her hand on Akane's head and nods. Ranko: I understand ... (thinking) Ryoga ... A few minutes later, Akane walks into the kitchen where Kasumi is cooking. Akane: Kasumi? Kasumi: Yes Akane? Kasumi is stunned when she sees Akane, and throws up the frying pan she was cooking with, luckily Ranko was there and she cached it in mid air, along with the food. Ranko: Wew ... Akane: Aren't you over reacting Kasumi? Kasumi: Akane ... your hair ... Akane: I just tough that it would be nice to change ... could you cut it for me Kasumi? An hour later, Ranma reaches the dojo, and walks to the main room. Ranko: Hi brother ... where's Ryoga? Ranma: The same thing happened ... he tried to hit me, but ran into the opposite direction ... we won't see him for a few days ... how's Akane? Ranko: She's doing some katas at the dojo ... why don't you go talk to her brother? Ranma: I ... I don't think that I should ... Ranko: Don't give me that ... now go there and talk to Akane! Ranma: Alright ... alright! I'll go talk to her! Ranma exits the house and walks towards the dojo, were Akane, dressed in her white gi, is finishing her kata, Ranma notices that she has a new haircut. Ranma: Akane? ... Hum ... are you okay? Akane turns around. Akane: Ranma? Hi, yes ... I'm fine. Ranma: Are you sure you are not upset about your hair? Akane: No ... I just used it long because I wanted Dr. Tofu to notice me ... I'm over that. Ranma: Oh ... Hum ... Akane ... I like your new haircut ... Akane: Huh? Ranma: What's the matter!? Why do you look at me like that!? Akane: Are you sick? You just complimented me! Ranma: What!? Of course I'm not sick! Akane: Well ... I don't need you to cheer me up. Ranma: Okay! Fine! You look terrible! It's that better!? Akane: I know that you don't think that I'm nice. Ranma: Fine! Think whatever you want! Ranma turns around. Ranma: (low voice) But I like your new haircut. Akane can't believe her ears. Did Ranma actually mean that? Ranma: Forget it ... what I think doesn't matter. Akane: Ranma ... Ranma turns around, and sees that Akane is smiling at him. Akane: Thank you ... even if you didn't really mean that ... I'm happy. Ranma: (thinking) Could ... could she really be a nice girl? Akane pokes Ranma on the forehead and he falls with a sit on the floor. Ranma: HEY! Akane: HA! Now we are even from the other day.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 15: It's raining in Nerima, late at night. Ryoga is walking trough the streets, heading towards the Tendo Dojo, his umbrella keeping him dry. He raises his head, looking at a wooden board, and reads it out loud. Ryoga: Tendo Dojo ... finally ... after traveling for a week! Today Ranma ... I'll have my revenge! In Ranma's and Genma's room, right next to Ranko's room, Ranma is sleeping, that is normal considering that it's 2:00 AM. The door slowly opens and Ryoga walks in. Ryoga: Ranma! Wake up! It's me Ryoga! But Ranma is too asleep to notice. Ryoga: I said wake up! Ryoga tries to punch Ranma's head, but he turns in his sleep and Ryoga makes a hole in the pillow instead. Ryoga tries again, and Ranma turns around, Ryoga is starting to get annoyed. Ryoga: WAKE UP YOU MORON!!!! Ranma wakes up, and so does Genma, he is in panda form, and tosses the two boys out trough the window and into the rain. Genma: (holding a sign) People are trying to sleep! Ryoga opens his umbrella and lands with a stand, Ranma in the other hand has no such luck and falls into the koi pond. A very surprised Ranma-chan emerges from the pond. Ranma-chan: What the heck!? Ranma turns around and looks at Ryoga, waiting for her in a battle ready stance. Ranma-chan: (getting out of the koi pond) Ryoga! Are you nuts! It's two in the morning! Ryoga: Shut up! Any time is good for revenge! Ranma-chan: Whatever ... could you just cut it out! I didn't do anything! Instead of fighting me you should go and talk to Ranko! She has been crying herself to sleep for the last week! Ryoga thinks a while at the mention of Ranko, then looks at Ranma again, still angry. Ryoga: I wont! She is also responsible for my misery! I won't hurt her, but I wont talk to her ever again! Ranma-chan: Just what did we do for you to hate us so much? Ryoga: Okay ... before I kill you, I'll tell you ... when you didn't show up for our duel, I followed you to China. A realization comes to Ranma. Ranma-chan: You ... you went to Jusenkyo? And what do you turn into? Ryoga: Enough! Ryoga jumps towards Ranma, who avoids all of his attacks with jumps and rolls. In Ranko's room. In Ranko's cheeks can be seen dried tears, and her pillow is wet. She is turning in her sleep, as she is having a nightmare. Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... why do you hate me ... what did I do ... Suddenly, she wakes up screaming. Ranko: NOOO! Ranko looks around. Ranko: A nightmare ... it was just a nightmare ... Suddenly, the door of Ranko's room opens and Kasumi and Akane walk in. Akane: Ranko! Are you ok? Ranko: Yes ... I'm fine ... did I wake you? Akane: Not really. Kasumi: We heard some noises outside ... maybe a burglar is trying to get in. Ranko: A burglar? Let's see. Ranko stands up and walks to the window, opening it and looking outside. Kasumi and Akane join her. Akane: Do you see anything? Ranko: Yes ... it's not a burglar ... it looks like Ranma is fighting someone. Akane: Well, this is no time to fight ... I'll show them. Akane picks up a weight. Ranko: Huh? Outside. Ranma and Ryoga are still fighting, nobody wining at the time. Ryoga can't use his right hand because he is holding his umbrella and Ranma is in girl form. STONK! Suddenly, a weight comes flying from a window, and hits Ryoga right on the back of the head, just as the two were jumping over the koi pond. SPLASH! Ryoga falls into the koi pond, his umbrella falls next to the pond. And Ranma spins around and falls with a stand next to the pond. Ranma-chan: (thinking) what did just happen? Ranma turns his head to look at the window, Ranko, Akane and Kasumi are watching her. Akane: Hey! Ranma! It's no time to fight, it's wo in the morning! Ranma-chan: Do you think that I wanted to fight! It was Ryoga! Ranko: Ryoga! Ryoga was the one fighting you? Oh, no! I hope he's ok. Ranma remembers what Ryoga said about Jusenkyo and looks back into the pond. BWEEE! BWEEE! A small black piglet is trying to swim out of the pond. Ranma notices Ryoga's clothes floating around, and the familiar bandana on the piglet's neck. Ranma-chan: Ryoga? Ranma-chan pick Ryoga by the bandana, he trashes in Ranma's hold but can't get away. Ranma-chan: Oh, no, you are NOT going to get away now ... we are going inside, and we are going to talk even if you want to or not! Ranma jumps on the roof, then into Ranko's room trough the window. Ranko: Brother ... where's Ryoga? Akane: Yeah ... did I hurt him? Ranma-chan: He's right here. Ranma shows them the trashing piglet on his hand. Akane: Huh? That's a pig. Ranma-chan: I can see that Akane! But he's been to Jusenkyo! Ranko: Jusenkyo? Oooh ... poor Ryoga-kun. Ranko tries to hold Ryoga, but he slaps her hand away. Ranma punches Ryoga on his head. Ranma-chan: Now stop that! (turning to Kasumi) Could you bring us some hot water Kasumi? We need to talk. Kasumi: Okay Ranma. Kasumi exits the room and walks towards the kitchen. Akane: Suit yourself ... I'm going back to bed ... *yawn* Akane walks out of the room and towards her's. A few minutes later, Ryoga, back in human form and a towel around him, is sitting in front of Ranma, still in girl form, and Ranko. Ranma-chan: Now Ryoga ... you are going to tell us everything that happened when you reached Juesnkyo ... I understand why you hate me, but not why you hate Ranko. Ranko: ............... Ryoga: Fine! It happened like this, I followed you to China to finish our duel ... it took me moths ... and then ... that day ... Flashback to China. Ryoga is standing on a ledge, looking down at the springs below him. Ryoga: Were am I now? Suddenly, he hears noises from the bamboo poles behind him. A big panda comes out and runs towards him, Ryoga jumps to avoid getting run over. Ryoga: What the ... Then, a red headed girl wearing a white gi, emerges from the same spot that the panda did. Ranma-chan: Hey! Dad! Come back here! We wont kill you ... yet! Ryoga: Huh? Ranko-chan? What are you ... Huf! POW! Ranma hits Ryoga as she passes by, knocking him down into the ponds. SPLASH! A few seconds later, a little fairy with some cloth tied around her flies towards the two. Fairy-Ranko: Hey! Brother! Wait for me! I want to kill him too! End of flashback. Ryoga: ... since then people have been trying to eat me every time I'm in my cursed form! And it's all your fault! For running away from my duel, and Ranko's fault for pushing me into the pond! Ranko: But ... I don’t remember that ... Ranma-chan: (hanging her head down) Hum ... I kind of ... hum ... remember doing that ... Ranko and Ryoga turn to look at Ranma. Ranko: I see ... you were in your cursed form ... so Ryoga tough that it was me pushing him into the spring ... Ranma nods. Ryoga: You mean that all this time it was just YOUR fault ALONE! Ranma nods again. Ryoga: I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! Ryoga tries to punch Ranma, but Ranko stops his hand and when Ryoga turns to look at Ranko she smiles. Ryoga blushes, then Ranko turns to look at Ranma. Ranko: Brother ... why don't you go change back to your normal form. Ranma-chan: Huh? ... Oh ... yes ... yes ... right away ... Ranma stands up and exits the room, closing the door behind her. Ryoga: Hum ... Ranko ... I don't know what to say ... I should have tough about things before blaming you ... I ... I don't know how to apologize for the pain that I caused you ... what do I have to do for you to forgive me? Ranko holds Ryoga's head with her hands, and smiles. Ranko: You can call me Ranko-chan like you did before ... Ryoga-kun. Ryoga smiles and nods. Ryoga: Hai ... Ranko-chan ... Then he looks away. Ranko: What's wrong Ryoga-kun? Ryoga: I ... you are to nice ... I don't deserve someone like me ... I even have that horrible curse ... Ranko: It's ok Ryoga-kun ... I don't mind ... I have a Jusenkyo curse too. Ryoga: (surprised) You do? Ranko nods. Ryoga: And ... what do you turn into? Ranko: A firy. Ryoga: A fairy? Ranko nods. -------------------------------------------------- End of Chapter 15.

In the course of only three days, her life took a nice turn. Ryoga was back, and they resolved their differences, well, sure he kept fighting Ranma, but still ... After Ranko asked permission, Ryoga moved into the Tendo Dojo. Too bad that they didn't have any more guest rooms, but Ryoga said that he didn't mind and he sleeps inside the dojo. And he also decided to go back to school and signed up for Furinkan High School. Now Ranko and Ryoga walked together to school, just like when they were little. Now, the two were walking back from school, wearing their school uniforms ... SPLASH! Until a nice old lady splashed them with water when they passed by. Pig-Ryoga: Bweeeee! Fairy-Ranko: Yes ... I know ... Ranko emerged from her clothes, wearing her little fairy clothes. Fairy-Ranko: Come on Ryoga ... let's put the uniforms and the school bags in a safe place, then we can go back to the dojo, change back, and return for them. Ryoga nodded. Pig-Ryoga: Bweee! The pig and the fairy pulled their belongings to an empty alley, and hid their clothes behind a wooden crate. Fairy-Ranko: There ... now let's ... Huh? Ranko and Ryoga turned when they heard some noises at the other side of the wall. Fairy-Ranko: Did you heard that? Pig-Ryoga: Bweee. Ranko nodded. Fairy-Ranko: Yeah ... let's go see. The two were small enough to walk trough a crack in the wall. When they looked, they saw three girls, that Ranko recognized from her class, they were covered in bandages. Next to them was a girl with long, raven-black hair. Black haired girl: You are from Furinkan High? What are you doing here ... the match is next week. Girl 1: Shut up! You know that we won't be able to participate because you ambushed us! Girl 2: But well repay you the favor ... right here! Right now! The three girls ran towards the black haired girl holding what looked like clubs. Suddenly, the black haired girl produced a gymnastic ribbon, and using it as a whip, she counter attacked the three girls. Black haired girl: So ... you dare to fight me ... take that! And that! The girls were kneeling on the ground, trying to shield themselves from the attacks. Ranko looked at Ryoga, Ryoga answered with a nod, and the two leaped forward. The black haired girl was about to deliver the final blow with her ribbon, when suddenly something stopped it from behind. She turned to see how a little black pigglet was holding her ribbon with it's teeth. A little fairy dressed in chinese clothes was flying above the little piglet. Fairy-Ranko: You won already ... why don't you just leave them alone. The girl could not believe her eyes. Was that a fairy!? How can that be a fiary!? And how come that small pig was able to stop her ribbon attack. Black haired girl: Is this some kind of trick!? Fairy-Ranko: I'm afraid not ... now how about letting those girls alone like I said. The girl smiled evilly and picked up a club from the floor. Black haired girl: I don't know were you came from ... but I'm going to send you back in pieces! The girl tried to hit Ranko with the club. But Ranko was used to her fairy form, and could fly fast enough to avoid every attack. Meanwhile, Ryoga buried the handle of the ribbon on the ground, and pulled the other end. Ranko noticed that, and flew straight towards the girl, making her retreat and trip with the ribbon. FLIP! She managed to turn in mid air, and looked at Ranko then at Ryoga. Black haired girl: I don't know what kind of trick is this ... (turning back at the bandaged girls) ... but this isn't the last of Kodachi Kuno, the Balck Rose of Saint Hebereke! With that, she jumped away, laughing a creepy and bone chilling laugh. Ranko watched her go, and flew next to the girls. Fairy-Ranko: Are you alright? Girl 1: It's ... a fairy! Girl 2: I can't believe it! Girl 3: Amazing ... Ranko remembered that she was in her cured from. Fairy-Ranko: Oooops ... (looking at Ryoga) Ryoga ... let's go! Ryoga: Bweee! Then, the two left trough the crack that they entered trough, and left, leaving three confused girls behind. About an hour later, Ranko and Ryoga, back in human form both, were walking back to the dojo, dressed in their normal clothes and holding the school uniforms and school bags. Ryoga: That curse sure can be annoying ... Ranko smiled and placed her head on Ryoga's shoulder. Ranko: Maybe ... but it makes me feel closer to you knowing that we share something like that. Ryoga blushed at this, and Ranko giggled. They were about to reach the dojo when they noticed Kasumi talking at the door with the three girls from before. Ryoga: It's just my imagination or are those the same three girls that we saved from that Kodachi girl? Ranko: Yes, they are ... let's go see what they want. At the door. Girl 1: Are you sure Akane can't do it? Kasumi: No, I'm sorry ... but Akane hurt her ankle in a training accident just yesterday ... Girl 1: Then what about Ranko? Kasumi: She's fine ... but she's not here right now and ... Huh? Oh, there she is right now. Kasumi pointed at Ranko and Ryoga walking towards the dojo, the three girls bowed their thanks and walked towards the two. Girl 1: Ranko ... we need your help ... Girl 2: We were going to ask Akane ... but her sister told us she hurt her ankle. Ranko: I know ... it was a training accident ... what can I help you with? Girl 1: We were ambushed by ... Ranko: Kodachi, the black rose, I know. Girl 1: Huh? How did you know? We didn't told anybody about this yet. Ranko sweated, she just couldn't tell them about the curse. Ryoga: She ... she just guessed it ... Right Ranko-chan? Ranko: Hum ... yes ... (in a low voice) thank you Ryoga-kun. Girl 1: Anyway ... we need you to be our replacement in a match of combat gymnastics! Ranko: Huh? But I don't know the first things about gymnastics ... Ryoga: Don't worry Ranko-chan ... I can teach you. Ranko turned to look at Ryoga. Ranko: You can? (turning back at the girls) okay ... I accept. Girl 1, 2 and 3: Thank you very much Ranko! Than night, inside the dojo. Ranko dressed in her chinese outfit, was holding a ribbon, Ryoga next to her. Ryoga: Okay ... do it like I told you. Ranko nodded, and whirled the ribbon, but it entangled around her. Ranko: (blushing) hum ... this wasn't supposed to happen like this ... right? Ryoga: Hum ... no ... don't worry Ranko-chan ... you'll get it in time. Meanwhile, outside the dojo. Kodachi, wearing a black leotard with a rose design, and a huge hammer on one hand was standing outside. Kodachi: So ... Furinkan High has a replacement ... Well then, Ranko Saotome, I'll make sure that you can't participate! -------------------------------------------- End of Chapter 16.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 17: Ranma was watching how Ryoga and Ranko were training in the dojo. Ranko had improved with just a few hours of training from Ryoga, she could use the ribbon quite good. But she still made huge mistakes with the other instruments. Ryoga: Alright Ranko ... let's call it a day. You have improved quite a lot, tomorrow we'll finish tour training with the ribbon and begin with the other instruments. Ranko smiled and nodded. Ranko: Thank you Ryoga-kun. She walked towards Ryoga, peeked him on the cheek, and walked into the house. Ryoga blushed as he saw Ranko enter the house. Ranma: Ryoga, are you sure that Ranko has a chance of beating that Kodachi girl? Ryoga: Of course Ranma! She's your sister and you train every morning ... you should know better. Ranma: Yeah ... yeah ... I know ... but still ... A few minutes later, Ranko enters her room, after taking a bath, and comes to rest on her futton. Ranko: (thinking) Ryoga-kun is so sweet ... training me like that and all ... Huh? As Ranko opens her eyes, she notices Kodachi hanging from the ceiling, with a huge hammer on her back. Kodachi: Die Ranko Saotome!! Kodachi jumps down with her hammer ready. But Ranko makes a jump to a side and lands with a stand. Ranko: Kodachi ... the black rose ... Kodachi: You know me? Well, no matter ... I'm here to make sure that you can't participate on our match next week! Ranko: So it was true then! You ambush your opponents! Kodachi was ready to strike again, as the two girls faced each other. Kodachi suddenly ran towards Ranko, who dodged to a side, and kicked her right on the back. Ranko: And out you go! Kodachi: AHHHH! Kodachi went flying trough the window and on the garden outside, into the koi pond. Ranko: And stay out! Meanwhile inside then dojo. Ryoga was on his futton, trying to go to sleep like everybody else when he heard a splash outside. Ryoga: Huh? What was that? Ryoga stood up and walked towards the koi pond, as a girl dressed in a black leotard emerged, coughing, out from the water. Ryoga: (thinking) Its ... its that Kodachi girl from this morning! Kodachi: (thinking) That Ranko ... she's quite a strong opponent ... I have to get rid of her! Ryoga: Hum ... are you ok? Kodachi looked up and saw the most handsome man she had ever seen. She blushed and looked away. Ryoga: Huh? What's wrong? Did you swallow water or something? Kodachi: (thinking) Finally ... life in an all girls school has always been boring ... but now ... (looking and talking to Ryoga) what's your name? Ryoga: Hum ... Ryoga Hibiki ... Kodachi: Here ... have this present from me ... Kodachi handed Ryoga a bouquet of black roses. SWISH! Suddenly some strange powder came out of the roses and Ryoga stumbled to the ground, his mouth was the only thing he could use. Ryoga: What ... was that!? Kodachi: Ha! The roses had a special paralyzing powder! Ryoga: WHAT!? Kodachi leaned down towards Ryoga's face. Kodachi: Come now my dear Ryoga ... kiss my lips with your ... POW! Kodachi spun around, recovering from the kick and landed on her feet. Ranko had kicked her and stared at her, fury in her eyes. Kodachi: Fun spoiler ... Ranko: How dare you!? First you attack me in my own room! Then you attack my Ryoga-kun! Kodachi: I won't forget this Ranko Saotome ... we'll meet again! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Kodachi hops the outer wall, and runs away from the dojo. Ranko looks down at Ryoga, who can't move at all. Ranko: Are you alright? Ryoga: Ranko-chan! It wasn't what it looked like ... she used some powder and ... Ranko: I know ... I heard her say it ... can you move now? Ryoga: No ... Ranko: Well then ... I have to make sure that she doesn’t come back in the middle of the night and tries to get you again ... Ryoga: Huh? What ... what are you going to do? SPLASH! Using a bucket of cold water, Ranko turned Ryoga into his pig form. Ryoga: BWEEE! Ranko smiled and picked Ryoga up. Cuddling him on her arms. Ranko: You are just going to have to sleep with me tonight. Ryoga blushed at the tough, and Ranko jumped back into her room, with a smile on her face, the night's incidents forgotten. -------------------------------------------- End of Chapter 17.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 18: Early morning in Furinkan High School. Ranma, Akane, Ryoga and Ranko are entering the school compound. Girl 1: Hey Ranko! I heard that you were going to participate in that gymnastic contest. Good luck. Ranko: Thank you ... don't worry I wont let the school down. Another girl walks towards Akane. Girl 2: How's the leg Akane? Akane: Don't worry ... it's just a small training injury ... I'll be fine in a few days. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Kodachi drops on Ranko with a kendo training bamboo sword (Shinai). KodachI: Die Ranko Saotome! Ranko turns around just in time to catch the sword as Kodachi lands. Ranma: That's ... Akane: Kodachi? Ryoga: *groan* I'm afraid so ... Ranko: You again! What the heck are you doing here!? Kodachi: I'm here to see my beloved Ryoga. This comes as a surprise to everybody except for Ryoga and Ranko. Ranma: (looking at Ryoga) Care to explain that Ryoga? Ryoga: Long story ... Ranko: You are insane! Ryoga-kun doesn't love you! Kodachi: HA! That's just a vile lie! At that moment, Kuno comes walking with his bokutou in hand. Kuno: (thinking) My sweet Ranko ... your gymnastic beauty is stuck in my mind ... if only
