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 the vile Hibiki Ryoga would leave you alone ... Kuno swings his sword at Ryoga, who notices just in time and dodges it to a side. Kuno: Die Hibiki! PAF! Ryoga hits Kuno right on the face with his fist. Ryoga: Give it a rest Kuno. By now, Ranko had thrown Kodachi away from her, and the Black Rose lands next to Ryoga. Kodachi: Oh! My dear Ryoga ... we are together at last! Ryoga: Huh!? What are you doing here!? Kuno looks at them, circles them, and then pats Ryoga on the back. Kuno: Hm ... alright ... you have my authorization. Ryoga: WHAT!? Kodachi: Oh! What a happy day ... Ryoga pushes Kodachi away. Ryoga: Now wait a darn second ... Kodachi: YOU DARE TO REJECT ME!? Kodachi's tone scares the heck out of Ryoga. Ryoga: Hum ... it's ... hum ... I just ... Ranko steps in. Ranko: Ryoga-kun is MY boyfriend! Understand!? Kodachi: Your boyfriend? Interesting ... then we'll decide this at the contest, the winner gets to keep Ryoga. Ryoga: What? Ranko: Are you nuts!? Kuno puts his hand on Ranko's shoulder. Kuno: It's the best solution, Ranko ... all you have to do is lose, and you'll be free of the vile Hibiki. Ryoga: Hey! Take that back! Kodachi: Of course she's going to lose ... I'll make smashed potatoes with you ... Kodachi takes out her ribbon and spins it around, forming a whirlwind of black petals. Kodachi: See you at the contest Ranko Saotome ... by then Ryoga will be mine ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Kodachi jumps away. Kuno: She's a strange girl ... but still Hibiki ... take good care of my sister. Ryoga: What! Your sister!? Ranma: Well ... you can see the resemblance in the two nuts. Kuno: Good luck my sweet Ranko ... Kodachi is an obsessive person ... she won't give up so easily ... Kuno walks away and into the school. Ranko: GRRRR! Just you wait Kodachi! I'll make you eat your own words! Time goes on, and so, the night before the contest. Inside the dojo, Ranko, wearing her leotard, is having her nightly training match with Ryoga. Ranko: YAH! Ranko tries to hit Ryoga with the clubs, but he dodges back and tosses the ball towards Ranko. SPANG! The ball hits the floor as Ranko jumps over it, and tosses her ribbon like a whip at Ryoga. SLASH! But Ryoga leaps up covering with the gymnastic rope. The two land facing each other, both are breathing heavily. Ryoga: You have improved a lot Ranko-chan. Ranko: Thank you ... you are a very good teacher ... and you don't have to worry, I'm not going to lose tomorrow. Ryoga: Don't worry about that ... (picks up a gymnastic ring from the floor) alright Ranko ... the last one and then let's go to sleep. Ranko: (picking up a gymnastic rope) Fine ... let's go. Ranko charges at Ryoga and tries to hit him with the rope, Ryoga dodges every hit by moving back. SLUMP! Ranko doesn't notice the ball on the floor, and trips with it, falling hard on the floor. Ryoga: Ranko-chan! Inside Ranko's room, Kasumi is finishing to put a bandage around Ranko's left ankle. Ranma: You tripped!? Ranko: Leave me alone brother ... is quite embarrassing as it is. Akane: Well Ranko ... it looks like you are going to forfeit. Ranko: Never! I'm a Saotome! We never forfeit! Ranko tries to stand up, but a sharp pain shoots trough her leg and she falls back on her futton. Kasumi: What about if you find a replacement? Ranko: How? It has to be fast and strong enough to fight ... where are we going to find a girl that does all that in such short notice? Suddenly, everybody in the room turns to look at Ranma. Ranma: Huh? Who me? You got to be kidding!? SPLASH! Ranma, now a girl, turns around to look at Ryoga behind her. Ryoga: Come to the dojo Ranma, we have to talk ... ------------------------------------------------- End of Chapter 18.

This FanFic follows the story as it appears on the manga. Any similarities with another FanFic are purely coincidental. Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 19: Ranma, in girl form and using Ranko's leotard, and Ryoga are alone in the dojo. Ryoga: Alright Ranma ... I'm going to teach you the basics, in combat gymnastics the direct hit is not allowed ... you only can use the instruments. Ranma-chan: Right ... Ryoga: Alright, let's see how you do it ... Ranma nods and jumps towards Ryoga, whipping at him with the ribbon, Ryoga jumps away and tries to counter attack with the clubs. But Ranma is ready and, using the ring, he covers from the hit. The two roll away from each other. Ryoga: Very good ... how come you are so good at this? Ranma-chan: I wasn't ... I just can pick up any technique that I see, and I saw you and Ranko train all week. Ryoga: Good, that makes my job easier. Ranma-chan: Just answer me something Ryoga. Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden? I know that you hate me. Ryoga: Maybe ... but tomorrow you are going to pretend to be Ranko, and everybody there will THINK that you are Ranko. If you lose then that would taint Ranko's reputation as a fighter, and I wouldn't like that to happen to her. Ranma gave him a mischievous smile. Ranma-chan: Are you sure is just because of that? Or does the fact that if "Ranko" loses against Kodachi, you'll have to go out with Kuno's crazy sister? Ryoga: Shut up! ... well ... maybe a little because of that ... but the principal reason is Ranko's honor. Think whatever you like. Ranma-chan: Alright then ... don't worry ... I care about my sister too, and as much as I despise you, she would be devastated to lose you, so I'm going to do my best to win tomorrow. Ryoga and Ranma stayed in the dojo sparring for a few hours, then, when it was too late, they went to sleep. The following morning. Ranko woke up, and walked downstairs into the dojo. Ryoga was already up, he didn't leave the dojo to look for the dining room since that would mean that he would get lost. Ranko: Good morning Ryoga-kun ... where's Ranma? Ryoga: Good morning Ranko-chan ... I suppose he's having breakfast. Ranko: Okay then, follow me so you won't get lost. After they ate breakfast, Ranma (still in girl form) Akane, Ryoga and Ranko (in fairy form so nobody will think that there are two Rankos) headed to Saint Hebereke High School. Inside the changing room. Akane: You don't look so bad in a leotard you know. Ranma-chan: Humf ... shut up Akane ... I'm a guy! Ranko (wearing her little fairy clothes as usual), looked around. Fairy-Ranko: Say ... where's Ryoga-kun ... Ranma-chan: Huh? I tough he was following Akane. Akane: What? No, he was supposed to follow Ranma. Fairy-Ranko: Great, now he's lost! Go to the second gym, there's were they set up the ring for the match, I'm going to go look for yoga-kun. Ranko exited trough a window to look for Ryoga. Too bad that Ryoga got lost in the OTHER side of the school. Ryoga: Where am I now!? I can't get lost NOW! SPLASH! To make bad things worst, a girl upstairs emptied a bucket over Ryoga. Girl 2: What are you doing? What about if someone was down there? Girl 1: There wasn't anybody ... just a little black pig. When the girls near that place saw Ryoga's cursed form, they all gathered around to pick him up. Girl 3: Ahhh ... it's so CUTE! Girl 4: Let me hold it! Suddenly, Kodachi walked towards them, and picked Ryoga up from the bandana. Girl 5: Kodachi ... Kodachi: This pig is going to help me at the match. Ryoga struggled to get free from Kodachi's grasp, but in his current form, it was useless. A while later, inside the second gym. Inside the crowd, we can see Kuno. The two contestants walked to the ring. Commentator: In the red corner ... the undefeated champion ... Kodachi "The Black Rose" Kuno!! All the crowd cheered Kodachi as she waved to them. Ranma and Akane were watching this from the blue corner. Ranma-chan: Humf ... showoff ... At that moment, Ranko came flying. Akane: Ranko! Did you find him? Fairy-Ranko: No, I just hope he's ok ... Ranma-chan: HA! Knowing Ryoga we won't see him till next week. BONK! Ranma-chan: OW! Why did you do that for Ranko! Fairy-Ranko: Don't insult Ryoga-kun! Commentator: And in the blue corner ... the opponent ... Ranko Saotome! The few people from Furinkan also cheered Ranma as she walked to the center of the ring. The referee looked at the two as they were in the middle of the ring. Referee: Alright ... let's have a clean fight ... shake hands ... Kodachi: Look behind you! Ranma-chan: (turning her head) Huh? Where? CLANG! When Ranma was distracted, Kodachi chained something to Ranma's wrist, at the end of the chain, was Ryoga in his pig form. Fairy-Ranko: Ryoga-kun! Ranma lifted Ryoga to her head level. Ranma-chan: Alright Ryoga ... since none of us want to lose this, we'll work together for a change ... agreed? Ryoga hesitated for a minute, then nodded. ------------------------------------------------- End of Chapter 19.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 20 : Ranma leaped away as Kodachi tried to hit her with the rope. Ranma-chan: (I wouldn't like to hurt her ... so ...) Ranma-chan: I'LL TOSS YOU OUT OF THE RING! Ranma tried to attack Kodachi with the ribbon, but the Black Rose used her stick-like rope to deflect the attack. Kodachi: Ha! That's very considerate of you ... but I'll be worrying about getting hurt if I were you! Kodachi used her clubs, and tried to attack Ranma with them. Ranma-chan: WOA! As Ranma turned to dodge, she noticed that the club had spikes in it. Fairy-Ranko: Did you see that Akane!? Akane: Hey! Referee! The club has spikes in it! The referee looks at Kodachi's clubs, and they look completely normal. Referee: I don't see any spikes. At the crowd. Kuno: Ah! The spikes retract themselves with a button, my sister knows how to fight. Back at the ring. Kodachi: Ryoga and I are meant to be! Ranma-chan: What? I don't think so ... right Ryoga? Ranma looks at Ryoga who shooks his head furiously. Kodachi: Why do you talk to that pig like if it were a person? Ranma-chan: Ha! I have to warn you ... this is an attack pigglet ... go get her! Ryoga runs towards Kodachi and, using the chain, ties her legs togheter. Ranma-chan: Good ... now, to put an end to this! Using the chain, Ranma pulls at Kodachi, and wields her up and away. Commentator: What an attack! Using his pig, Ranko has tied Koachi and she will fall of the ring! Kodachi whistles, and the ring moves towards her, she spins around and falls safely on it. Akane: What the heck happened there!? Fairy-Ranko: I think I know ... Ranko flies under the ring. Akane: Huh? Ranko? Where are you going? Suddenly, the ring floor starts to shake, and move in odd ways. Kodachi: What's going on? Akane: Ranm ... Ranko! Jump on the edges! Looking back at Akane, Ranma nods and jumps on one of the four edges, Kodachi does likewise, and just in time, as suddenly, the ring floor bursts open and about twenty girls emerge from it, taking the planks and the ring cover. Girl 1: Haaa! Help! Girl 2: Get that thing away from us! Fairy-Ranko comes flying out, breathing heavily. Fairy-Ranko: Ha! That's what you get you cheaters! Akane: Ranko ... Commentator: This is unbelievable! It seems like the entire gymnastic team of Saint Hebereke was moving the ring so Kodachi would not fall off ... and what looks like a little fairy has made them leave ... now all that its left are he four corners and the ropes ... whoever falls off that firs will lose ... Kodachi: Ha! You call me cheater, but you have your little fairy help you! Ranma-chan: What are you talking about? YOU were the one that was moving the ring with your friends there ... Kodachi: Whatever ... prepare to meet your doom! Kodachi picks up her ribbon. Ranma-chan: (Air combat is THE specialty of the Saotome-ryu ... I'm gonna win this.) Ranma picks up Ryoga and tosses him up towards the ceiling, Ryoga hold onto one of the iron bars there. Ranma-chan: Now, hold on until I tell you to let go! Ranma jumps and uses the chain as support, at the same time Kodachi whips at her with the ribbon, but Ranma dodges the attacks. Kodachi: You idiot! You attack me without an instrument ... Ranma-chan: The instrument is right under you! Now Ryoga! Let go! Ryoga obeyed, and Ranma's kick dropped under Kodachi, hitting the corner post in two. Ranma holds on her feet to one half and her arms to the other to keep from falling off the ring, Kodachi has no such luck, and falls. The gym was filled with silence for a minute, then ... Commentator: Ko ... Kodachi has fallen of the ring ... that means that ... Ranko Saotome is the winner! Ranma turns to look at Ryoga besides her, not letting go of the posts. Ranma-chan: Did ... did I win already? Ryoga nods. Ranma-chan: All right! Ranma jumps, spins and falls with a stand next to Akane and Ranko. Meanwhile, Kodachi. Kodachi: *SOB!* I lost ... and now I have to forget about my love for Ryoga ... Kodachi: Well ... no matter! Since tomorrow, I'll start a new more passionate love for Ryoga! At the side of the ring, a little black pig faints. Ranma-chan: Hey, Ryoga, you okay? Akane: He's out ... Fairy-Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... ------------------------------------------------- End of Chapter twenty. Comments are welcome to lucasliso@rescueteam.com Lucas Liso.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 21: Akane and Ranko were ice-skating in the ice skating rink of Nerima. Akane: I still don't understand why Ranma didn't want to skate. Ranko: *giggle* My brother and Ryoga-kun don't know how to skate, they never cared to learn. Akane: Oh ... but if Ryoga doesn't know how to skate ... then why is he on the skating rink? Ranko: He's on the skating rink? WWWWAAAAAHHH! The two turn around when they heard the scream. Ranko: Ryoga-kun! Ryoga: RANKOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Ryoga was "trying" to skate, as he was going backwards at full speed, just at the wall behind him was the cleaning lady. CRASH! BONK! SPLASH! As he crashed, and passed trough the wall, he spilled all the water from the cleaning bucket over himself, turning into a pig. Ranma is watching from one of the side tables. Ranma: I told him not to, but nooooo ... he just HAD to show Ranko that he could skate. Ryoga, now a pig, looks around and enters the skating rink, he hears Ranko's voice coming, and is about to turn when somebody else picks him up first. Strange Girl: Aaaaah! Charlotte! You are SOOO cute! Ryoga trashes and tries to go away, but he can't. Ranko: Hey! That pig is with me! Ranko tries to take Ryoga from the strange girl, but she doesn't let her. Strange Girl: No! This is Charlotte! And it's MINE! ZIP! Another boy comes from behind and picks Ryoga from the girls hands, and gives it to Ranko. Boy: Is this yours? Ranko: Hum ... thanks ... Strange Girl: That's MY Charlotte! Give it back! Give it back! Give it Back! BONK! BONK! BONK! The girl hits him the boy that took Ryoga from her with a hammer, over and over and over. Ranko tosses Ryoga to were Ranma is sitting a few feet away. Ranko: Ranma .. could you give Ryoga the spare thermos that you have over there? Ranma catches Ryoga. Ranma: Sure sis, no sweat. (looking at Ryoga) I told you not to skate. SPLASH! Ranma turns Ryoga back to normal, good thing that he can hide there to get dressed again. Meanwhile, back at the rink. BONK! BONK! Boy: Could you STOP doing that you idiot!! Strange Girl: Snif ... (looks at Ranko) You! I challenge you to a duel! Ranko: Huh? You practice martial arts? Strange Girl: Of course not! It's a skating match! If I win, I get to keep Charlotte! Akane: AH! Now I remember who they are ... they are the champion couple of the ice-skating team of Kolkhoz High School! Boy: I'm Mikado Sanzenin. Strange Girl: My name is Azusa Shiratori. Ranko: I don't care who you are! I accept the challenge! Ranko is about to skate away when Mikado places his hand on her shoulder, turning her to face him. Ranko: Now what!? Mikado: You never thanked me for returning your little pet. Ranko: Ryoga-kun? He's not my pet he's ... humf! Mikado kissed Ranko, catching her off guard. Many things happened at that moment. First: Akane: Ran ... ko ... Ranko broke the kiss when she realized what happened. Ranko: How dare you! SLAP! Ranko left a hand-like mark on Mikado's cheek, and skated backwards and away from him. Second: At the side tables, Ranma and Ryoga were watching all of this just a few feet away. Ranma: Oh, boy ... did you see that Ryoga ... that guy just kissed Ranko ... Ryoga? Ryoga you there? Ranma looked at Ryoga, as his face was neutral, then he exploded. Ryoga: YEEEEAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Back at the rink. Mikado: What a nice girl ... she was so happy with my kiss that she couldn't say anything. Asuza: Actually I think she hated it. CLUNK! CLUNK! They all turn around when they hear the ice cracking, and Ryoga raming the edges of his skating shoes into the ice so he wouldn't slip. Ryoga: MIKADO SANZENIN! HOW DARE YOU KISS RANKO-CHAN! Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... Mikado: What is your problem? Ryoga: You are going to pay for that ... I have NEVER been so ANGRY in my life!!! CRASH! CRACCCCKKK!!! Ryoga hits the ice as it begins cracking towards Mikado, stopping a few inches away from the skating champion. Mikado: I don't know why you are so angry ... but you'll pay for what you did to this skating rink ... prepare to face the wrath of the figure-skating-martial-arts champion! Ranko: Martial arts? The skating is with martial arts? Ryoga: You'll pay! You just stole something very important to me! Akane: (Huh? What dos he mean by that?) Ranma: (Wow ... I never saw Ryoga this angry before.) Ranko: (Ryoga-kun ...) ------------------------------------------------- End of Chapter 21.

Mikado just dodged by skating to a side. CRASH!!!! And Ryoga impacted on the ice, making a hole in it. Mikado: Humf ... what a fool. Ranko: Ryoga-kun! Ranma: Don't worry sis ... he can take that. And Ranma was right, a second later, Ryoga stood up and tried to punch Mikado again. Mikado: But how ...? SLIDE. Mikado just dodged again, and Ryoga's punch missed him by an inch. But Ryoga's momentum was to strong, and he continued to slide and crash on one of the walls surrounding the rink. CRASH! Ryoga: Not ... yet ... Ryoga stood up. Akane: Wow ... that's why I call endurance ... Ranko: Don't give up Ryoga-kun! Mikado: I see that you have quite an endurance ... no matter ... I'll defeat you with my most powerful technique ... SHIRYOU NO BONODORI!! As Ryoga approached, Mikado began to spin around, faster and faster. This caught Ryoga, and Mikado began punching and kicking him over and over and over. Asuza: Ha! Mikado has him ... nobody has ever survived the Shiryou no Bonodori. Akane: Ranko! Aren't you going to help Ryoga? Ranko: He doesn't need my help. Akane: Huh? Ranko: (thinking) 305 ... 306 ... 307 ... 308 ... 309 ... 310 ... SWOSH! CRASH! Ryoga went flying up and away from Mikado, landing face first on the ice, while Mikado stopped spinning. Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... Ranko skated towards Ryoga to help him stand up. Ryoga: I don't need help! SLIP! CRASH! Ryoga jumped to stand up, but feel again. Ranko: Sure you do ... Ranko smiled and picked Ryoga by the arm, and skated towards the exit of the rink. Ryoga: That ...... will ..... teach ... him ... to kiss ... my .... girlfriend .... The fact that Ryoga was still conscious surprised everybody. Asuza: Seems like a tie then ... Ranko: No, Ryoga won. Asuza skated towards Mikado and noticed that he was standing, but was unconscious. Asuza: Ha! Let's make some doodles. And then Asuza began drawing on Mikado's face with a permanent marker. Later, back at the Tendo dojo. Kasumi, Akane and Ranko were having some warm tea in the dining room. Akane: Ryoga hit him 406 times? Ranko: Yes ... I counted all of them. Kasumi: But why did he fought with that Mikado person on the first place. Akane: I'm sure it was because he kissed Ranko. Ranko: ........ Kasumi: Oh, my ... Akane: But he kept mentioning something about Mikado stealing something from him. Kasumi: I wonder what that could be? Ranko: He meant my first kiss. Both, Akane and Kasumi turned to look at Ranko. Akane: Your first kiss? You mean that you and Ryoga ... Ranko shook her head. Ranko: Ryoga was always to shy and respectful about things like that ... but he was waiting for the right moment ... I was too ... but when Mikado kissed me, he stole that from Ryoga. Akane: I see ... no wonder he was so angry. Meanwhile, at the dojo. Ranma was helping Ryoga put on some band aids, from all the crashes on the ice that he suffered from the fight with Mikado. Ranma: You really impressed me Ryoga ... you really beat him. Ryoga: Yeah ... Ranma: You don't sound very happy. Ryoga: That's because I'm not happy! Beating him wont give me back Ranko-chan's first kiss! Ranko: Don't be sad Ryoga-kun ... None of them noticed Ranko stepping into the dojo. She walked towards them, and kneeled next to Ryoga. Ranko: Brother ... could you leave us alone? Ranma nodded. Stood up, and left. Ryoga: I'm sorry Ranko-chan ... I shouldn't have gotten caried away like that ... it's just that ... Ranko: No, it's ok ... he deserved that ... Ryoga-kun ... the kiss meant nothing to me ... he wouldn't have kissed me in the first place if he hadn't caught me off guard ... Ryoga: Maybe but ... Ranko leaned closer to Ryoga's face. Ryoga: R ... Ran ... ko-chan ... what are ... you doing? Ranko: Maybe this will make you fell better ... She closed her eyes, and waited. Ryoga: (thinking) Does ... does she really mean that? Ryoga leaned closer, a little at a time, and finally he kissed Ranko warmly. A inute later, they broke the kiss, both blushing. Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... Ryoga: Ranko-chan ... Ranma: Aaaaah ... how nice ... The two turned to look at Ranma, who had watched the whole thing trough the dojo door. Ranko: Brotherrrrrrr! Ryoga: Ranmaaaaaaaa! Kasumi watched from the dining room how Ranma was being chased by Ranko and Ryoga throwing bandanas at him. Kasumi: I wonder if Ranma can outrun those two. PAF! BONK! CRASH! WHAM! CRUNCH! Kasumi: Guess not ... Meanwhile, back at the rink. Mikado: (covered all with doodles) This won't end like this Hibiki Ryoga! We'll fight again at the skating match ... and there you'll pay for this humiliation! ------------------------------------------------- End of Chapter 22.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 23: Kolkhoz High, the day of the duel. A big sign reads, "Skating contest today: Furinkan High v.s. Kolkhoz High. The Charlotte cup." Akane and Ranma are walking towards the school as they read the sign. Ranma: Charlotte cup? Wasn't that the name that Asuza gave Ryoga? Akane; Hum ... now that you mention it ... did Ryoga learned how to skate? Ranma: What!? Of course not! He's as clumsy as a donkey. Akane: You shouldn't make fun of Ryoga like that. If things keep working up between him and your sister, he'll be your brother in law. Ranma: Humf ... don't remind me ... Akane just giggles. Inside the school's boy changing room. Ryoga walks in, as Mikado is already there, fully dressed and combing his hair. Mikado: So, you came Ryoga Hibiki. Ryoga: Hello, sexual perverted maniac. Mikado: Mikado Sanzenin please. Ryoga: I see that you managed to recover from our last encounter. Mikado: Humf ... I was just overconfident that day, but in official tournaments I'm unbeatable. Ryoga: Whatever ... Mikado: Watch out Ryoga, because today I will fulfill my double revenge against you. Ryoga: Double revenge? Mikado: Yes, not only will I beat you into a pulp, but I will also kiss your girlfriend again for the world to see, just to humiliate you! Ryoga: What!? Don't you dare get close to Ranko! Meanwhile, at the girls chaining room. Ranko: Atchis! ... someone must be talking about me ... Then, at the schools skating rink. Commentator: Ladies and gentlemen, today we will see the golden couple of Kolkhoz fight against the team from Furinkan for the Charlotte cup. Mikado and Asuza enter the rink. Commentator: And here we have them! Mikado Sanzenin and Asuza Shiratori! From the crowd can be heard many cheers from the fan clubs of the two teenagers. Ranma: Hmf ... showoffs ... Akane: Shhh .... There is Ranko and Ryoga. Ryoga: Alright Ranko-chan, let's make an entrance as nobody ever saw! Ryoga skates inside the rink. Ranko: But Ryoga-kun ... you still don't know how to skate! SLIP! THUD! Too late, Ryoga falls, head first on the ice, and keeps going, and going, and going ... CRASH! Untill he is stopped by a wall. Asuza: HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Ranko: Shut up weirdo! Ranko skates towards Ryoga. Ranko: Are you ok Ryoga-kun? Ryoga gets up quickly and rubs his head. Ryoga: Never been better! Now let's start this! Asuza: (thinking) heh, heh, heh ... if this keeps up ... I'll have Charlotte in no time. GONG! Commentator: And the match begins! No time limits, the fight will last until one of the couples is defeated completely! Mikado holds Asuza and skates towards the two. Ranko: Let's go! The one that attacks first has the advantage! Ryoga: Hai! Ranko drags Ryoga by the arms, since he can't skate, and uses him as a weapon against the other two. SLASH! SWIP! Mikado tosses Asuza up, and ducks, dodging the attack, then Ryoga fells on Mikado's back as he comes closer to Ranko's face. Mikado: Ranko Saotome ... you look even more beautiful today. Commentator: AAAAH! Mikado is about to use his kissing attack! Ranma: (From the corner of his mouth) He better don't if he knows what's good for him. CLAMP! Ryoga holds Mikado's head with his feet. Ryoga: Don't you DARE! Ranko: Ryoga-kun! Look up! BLAM! Ranko's warning came in too late, Asuza kicked Ryoga on the face as she fell. Mikado: Alone at last ... Mikado is about to kiss Ranko, but she was ready for that, and used her leg as a lever to throw Mikado up and away. Mikado spins in mid air, and lands with a stand next to Asuza. Mikado: What a shy girl ... Asuza: Actually, I think she hates you ... The two skate towards Ranko and Ryoga. Ranko: Ryoga-kun! Ryoga-kun wake up! Ranko and Ryoga skate towards them, Ryoga is still a little stunned from the attack. Mikado: I will kiss her! Mikado begins spinning around, holding Asuza as he does so. Ryoga: Ranko-chan! Get away from here! Ranko: Huh? Ryoga tosses Ranko up and away from Mikado and Asuza, then he kneels down and hits Mikado on the ribs as he passes by. Ryoga then catches Ranko, but is not able to stop as the wall comes closer. Ranko: The wall! The wall! Ryoga: I see it! Ranko: STOP! Ryoga: I CAN'T! As they are about to hit the wall, Ryoga runs up and over it, then jumps away, spins around, and lands on his feet. Both breathing nervously, not believing what they just did. Meanwhile, Mikado is kneeling on the ice, holding his ribs. While Asuza punches him on the side. Asuza; Does it hurt? Does it hurt? Does it hurt? Does it hurt? PAF! PAF! PAF! PAF! Mikado: YEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!! AND EVEN MORE IF YOU HIT ME! Asuza: I was worried. He stands up and looks at Ranko and Ryoga, as Ryoga sets Ranko on the ice again. Mikado: So, you have managed to hit the great Mikado Sanzenin. Ryoga: Listen closely! Ranko is MY girlfriend! Touch her and I'll kill you! DID I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!!! Ranko blushes. Ranko: (thinking) Ryoga-kun ... Mikado: Heh, heh, heh ... your girlfriend? Then I guess I'll have to make you two split up. Mikado said with a smile. -------------------------------------- And another chapter is done, I'll start with the next as soon as possible.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 24: Ryoga's words sound over and over inside Ranko's head. "Ranko is MY girlfriend." "Touch her and I'll kill you." Ranko: (thinking) Ryoga-kun ... in front of everybody ... Mikado: A very nice speech, still ... Mikado picks up Asuza, and begins skating towards Ranko and Ryoga. Mikado: We are not only known as the golden pair ... we are also known as the couple breaker! Commentator: AH! Mikado and Asuza will use their most dangerous technique! The couple kuzushi! Ranma: Couple Kuzushi? Akane: What does he mean by that? Back down at the rink. Mikado: Every couple that we fought, has broken up during every one of our fights! Ryoga: Shut up you pervert! Let's get them Ranko! Ranko: Y ... yes ... (thinking) got to focus in the fight! Both, Ranko and Ryoga jump and kick at Mikado and Asuza. But the kick never landed, Mikado tossed Asuza up, grabbed Ryoga by the leg, and while Ranko lands away, Asuza falls on Ryoga. Asuza: Hello ... Ryoga: Huh? What!? Ranko: HEY! What the heck do you think you are doing!? Ryoga stands up and looks at Ranko. Ryoga: I ... hum ... she was ... I mean ... Asuza: Got you! Asuza grabs Ryoga by the legs as she slides on her back. Ryoga falls down, but Ranko gets a hold of his hands. At the same time, Mikado gets a hold of Asuza's legs, and lifts all of them up. Mikado: YAAAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!! Commentator: And there you have it! The couple kuzushi! WAKARE NO MERRY-GO-ROUND! Mikado, holding Asuza, holding Ryoga, holding Ranko, begins spinning around, faster and faster and faster. Ryoga: Kkkkkkk ... Mikado: All you have to do is let her go, and I'll stop spinning! Ryoga: What did you say!? Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... let me go. Ryoga: N ... Never! Commentator: If he lets go of his partner, he'll save himself at the expenses of her! Akane: Those cheaters! Ranma: Come on Ryoga! Sis ... I know you can do it! Ranko: Ryoga-kun! Donm't worry about me! Let me go! Ryoga: Stop saying that Ranko! I'll never let you go! Mikado: Heh, heh, heh ... the longer you hold on, the harder the impact will be. The couples that suffer my WAKARE NO MERRY-GO-ROUND, always end in disaster! Ranko: Don't let him convince you Ryoga-kun! I'll be fine! Just let me go! Ryoga: I TOLD YOU TO STOP SAYING THAT! I'm not going to let you go! And that's it! Ranko: Ry ... Ryoga-kun ... Asuza: Maybe you won't let her go ... but I'm getting dizzy ... Asuza let's go of Ryoga's legs, sending Ranko and Ryoga in a high speed flight towards one of the walls. Ranma: Ryoga! Ranko! As they are going, Ranko will hit the wall first, but Ryoga, still holding her, pulls her behind him. CRASHHHHHHH!!!!! Ryoga hits the wall first, making many cracks on it. Ranko falls safely on top of him. CLOMP. Ryoga falls down on the ice. Ranko notices that Ryoga is STILL holding her. Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... Commentator: Unbelievable! Ryoga never let go of Ranko's hands! It's the first time that the WAKARE NO MERRY-GO-ROUND fails! But still, Ryoga has suffered quite an impact ... would he be able to recover!? Akane: What do you think Ranma? Ranma: I don't know ... Ryoga has quite an endurance ... but he never got hit so hard before ... Down at the rink. Ranko is keeling besides Ryoga, who is unconscious with his eyes closed. Ranko: Ryoga-kun! Why didn't you listen to me! I could have landed safely! Ryoga does not answer. Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... Ryoga-kun! Mikado: Heh! All his bones must be broken. Asuza: No human being could have survived that. Ranko's eyes begin to get blurry, as she fells like crying. Ranko: (thinking) You ... you did it just to protect me ... Ranko: NOOO! Ryoga-kun! Don't do this to me! I know you can take that! Please open your eyes! Ranko breaks into tears on Ryoga's chest. Ryoga: Ranko ... could you take your hands off my ribs ... it hurts like heck. Ranko: RYOGA-KUN! You are okay! Ryoga: Of course I am! Did you really think that I was going to be defeated by that stupid tech... STAND. Ryoga jumps on his hands, and stands up landing on his feet. CRACK! CRICK! CROCK! Little tears of pain come out of Ryoga's eyes. Mikado: So, you managed to stand up. Ryoga: sure .... now ... let's ... continue ... the ... fight ... Ranko: Ryoga ... you are in pain ... just ... Ryoga: I'm fine! I'm going to kick the crap out of that pervert! Plic. Ranko touches a spot on Ryoga's side, and he falls on the floor, gritting his teeth to keep from crying out in pain. Ryoga: OUCH! Why did you do that!? Ranko takes Ryoga's hand in hers. Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... please ... I don't want you to get hurt ... Mikado skates behind them, with the wall behind her back, and Asuza across from them. Ryoga and Ranko look at the two. Mikado: This fight is all ours ... you won't be able to go on ... CLUNCK! Commentator: What's that noise? CLUNCK! Commentator: It sounds like an earthquake ... CLUNCK! Commentator: Getting closer and closer ... CLUNCK! CRASH! The wall behind Mikado caves in, and falls on him, knocking him down. Commentator: AH! The wall just fell on Mikado Sanzenin! He is knocked out, and the fight ends with a victory for Furinkan since both members of the couple are still awake! Akane: Did you hear that Ranma! They won! Ranma ... hey Ranma! But Ranma's eyes are focused on the figure standing inside the hole in the wall, and it terrifies him. Ranma: What ... what is SHE doing in Japan!? Akane: Huh? Who? Ranko also looks terrified at the figure standing on top of the remains of the wall. It's a beautiful girl, with long purple hair, wearing chinese clothes and holding to round weapons in each hand. Ryoga: Ranko-chan? What's wrong? Ryoga asks as he looks at Ranko, then at the girl, then at Ranko again. Girl: Ranko! Me kill! Ranko: Sh ... Shampoo! Girl (Shampoo): Me kill! SWISH! Shampoo tries to hit Ranko, who dodges to a side. SLIP! CRASH! Not wearing proper shoes, Shampoo falls on the ice, face first. When she stands up, looks around and notices that Ranko is gone. Shampoo: Where Ranko!? Ryoga, who has stood up by now, is the one that answers. Ryoga: She left trough the hole you made. Asuza: What are you talking about? She is hiding right ... humf! Ryoga covers Asuza's mouth and smiles like an idiot at Shampoo. Shampoo: Damn! CRASH! Shampoo breaks a hole in the ice and leaves trough the hole. Shampoo: Ranko! Shampoo will find and kill! Ryoga lets go of Asuza, who goes running to the men that are carrying Mikado's limp body out of the rink, trying to get the blanket on him while screaming "Ah! How cute! Martina!" Ryoga looks at a corner as Ranko sticks her head out. Ranko: Is she gone? Ryoga: Yes ... who was that and why did she wanted to kill you? Ranma: I'll explain that. Ryoga and Ranko turn to look at Ranma and Akane, walking towards them. -------------------------------------- And another chapter is done, I'll start with the next as soon as possible.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 25: Ranma, Akane, Ryoga and Ranko were walking back to the dojo, listening to Ranma explain why that chinese girl wanted to kill Ranko. Ranma: It all started in China, dad, Ranko and me were in our cursed forms ... FLASHBACK: Ranma was wearing her white gi, and was carrying two backpacks, his and Ranko's. Ranko was flying ahead of them, but behind the guide, with a piece of cloth tied around her tiny fairy body. Ranma-chan: Man! I'm starving! Fairy-Ranko: Now, don't complain like that ... Ranma-chan: Easy for you to say! With that tiny body you were full with just one cookie! And I have to carry YOUR backpack because of it! Fairy-Ranko: *giggle* Well ... you'll just have to wait till we find some warm water to turn back. Ranma-chan: Humf ... Guide: Ah! We are reaching amazon village of warrior woman! And there, we can see combat. As the group enters the village, we can see two women fighting on top of a hanging log, one was Shampoo, the other was as huge as an ox. BLAM! But with a well placed hit, Shampoo ends as the winner. Guide: To win tournament is great honor. Fair-Ranko: That girl is GOOD. Ranma-chan: *glomp* Yeah ... *chomp* The guide turns to see how Ranma and Genma are eating up the food on a table with a sign that reads "First prize" in chinese. Guide: What you doing!? WHAM! Ranma and Genma jump away when Shampoo tries to hit them with her bondbories. She says a bunch of things in chiese, and the guide translates. Guide: She says that today she was the champion of the martial arts tournament, and that she is the champion. And that you just ate her prize. Ranma-chan: Huh? Alright, but if I defeat her, then there was no harm done. Right? The guide translates to Shampoo, and she accepts. The match was quick, Ranma won with a single kick to the head. As Ranma is being declared the winner, Shampoo walks towards her, and kisses her on the cheek. Interlude of Flashback. Akane: YOU SAID YOU WERE A GIRL AT THE TIME! Akane tries to hit Ranma, who dodges. Ranko: Akane! Calm down! Ryoga: Yeah! Let Ranma finish ... then kill him. Ranma: Humf ... anyway ... as I was saying. Resuming of Flashback. Guide: OH! NO! WE HAVE GET AWAY NOW! Ranma-chan: Huh? Why? The guide drags Ranma away, Genma and Ranko follow them. Guide: You just received kiss of death! Ranma-chan: Kiss of death? Fairy-Ranko: And what's that? Guide: This amazons very proud! To lose against foreign girl is humiliation worst than death! Kiss of death is promise of following to end of earth until kill! Ranma-chan: WHAT!? End of Flashback. Ranma: And so ... she followed us all the way around China ... until we managed to miss her, and come back to Japan. Ryoga: That doesn't explain why she want's to kill Ranko-chan! Ranko: I'll answer that ... while in China, and when we were cursed ... Ranma used my name because he looked so much like me ... so Shampoo tough I was him, that was the first time she actually saw me in my real form ... to her I was just the fairy that traveled with Ranma. Ryoga: So ... she just followed you all the way from China? What a whacko! Ranma: Look who's talking. Ryoga: Humf! Ranko: *giggle* Don't worry Ryoga-kun ... Ryoga looks at Ranko and holds her hand. Ryoga: Ranko ... you have my promise that I will not let that girl kill you. Ranko blushes a little, and nods. A while later, the four of them reach the dojo Tendo. Kasumi: Oh, Ranma, Ranko, somebody came to see you. Genma's sign: She followed me! Sorry! Shampoo turns around and looks at Ranko before she could hide. Shampoo: Ranko! Me kill! Shampoo swings her bondbori towards Ranko, who dodges it. Ryoga stops the blow. Ryoga: Stop that! Shampoo: You help Ranko? Me kill you too! Shampoo swings at Ryoga, who is slower compared to Shampoo, and manages to land a blow on his head. CRUNCH! Ryoga stumbles back, a little dizzy, Ranko sees that Shampoo was about to hit him again, and manages to stands between the two. Ranko: Leave Ryogha-kun alone! Shampoo: Ranko! You die! Ranko was about to be hit by Shampoo, but Ranma kicks her bondbori by the handle, and it falls on her head, knocking Shampoo out cold. Ranma: Stop attacking everybody! Kasumi: Oh, my ... it looks like you defeated her Ranma. Ranma just realizes that. Ranma: Oh boy ... Ryoga: That means that she will also try to kill you. Ranma: No! It was an accident! Shampoo stands up, and walks towards Ranma. Ranma: It was an accident! I didn't mean to! Humf ... Ranma gets kissed by Shampoo on the lips, this surprises everybody. Including Ranma, then Shampoo breaks the kiss and smiles. Shampoo: Woo ai nii. --------------------------------------------- And Chapter 25 is done, don't worry, Chapter 26 will be ready soon. Author's note: The Argentinean version of the manga (witch I'm using as a reference) is VERY different from the American version. One of those differences is that they write the characters name EXACTLY as they are written in the original version. Now, about Shampoo's name. While in almost every version we can read her name as Shampoo, the real way that is was written was Shan-Puu, that sounds like a chinese name. But since she is known every were as Shampoo, I decided to leave it like that. Anyway, send your comments at lucasliso@rescueteam.com Till next chapter.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 26: Everybody stares, dumbly, at Shampoo kissing Ranma passionately. SWING! POOM! Akane picks up the remains of Shampoo's bondbories, and tosses it at Ranma's head, knocking him. Shampoo: Huh? .... Hmmmmm. Akane: What are you looking at!? Akane and Shampoo get into a stare-down. SPLASH! Ranko comes back into the dining room, as a fairy. Ryoga: Ranko-chan? Why did you do that? Fairy-Ranko: So she won't try to kill me. Ryoga: Good thinking. At that moment, Soun walks in. Soun: What's going on here!? Kasumi: Hum ... dad ... I'm not sure but ... it seems like Ranma's girlfriend from China has come back for him. Ranma: What!? No! It's nothing like that! Right Ranko!? Fairy-Ranko: Yes ... I know it's weird ... but this is the first time Shampoo saw Ranma in his male form. Akane: Still! The two of them seem to get along very intimately! Ranma: Now wait a darn second! How can you think of me like that!? Shampoo hugs Ranma again. Fairy-Ranko: You have to admit that it's kind of hard to think of something else ... Akane walks away. Akane: From now on ... our engagement is off! STOMP! STOMP! STOMP! Akane's footsteps could be heard a mile away. Soun walks towards Ranma and taps him on the shoulder. Soun: Okay ... I WANT AN EXPLANATION!!!! Ranma: But ... but I don't understand either! Shampoo takes out a little book. Soun: Huh? Let's see ... laws of the amazons ... now here ... Soun opens the book, flipping page after page. Ranma: So? What does it say? Soun: How should I know!? I can't read chinese! Ranma: Alright! You didn't need to scream at me! Fairy-Ranko: Am I the only one that thinks in this family? Give me that! Ranko takes the book from Soun, places it standing on the table, and sits down in front of it. Fairy-ranko: Now ... let's see ... If an amazon is defeated in combat: If the opponent is a girl, the amazon has to give her the kiss of death, and kill her. But, if the opponent is a man, she has to marry him. Ranma and the rest face faulted. Fairy-Ranko: Now that explains it. Ranma: You don't fool me sis! I know that you CAN'T read chinese! Fairy-Ranko: Of course I can't. Ranma: I knew it! Ranko stands up, and pushes the book over so it falls on the table for everybody to see, she walks to the book and stands up on it. Fairy-Ranko: In the even pages is written in chinese, but in the odd pages is written in japanese, see? Ranma: Oh ... Kasumi: So everything was true then. Outside the dojo, Akane, wearing her gi, is kicking a helpless little Ranma-like dummy. Akane: Ranma you are a jerk! Jerk! Jerk! JERK!! WHAM! With a final kick, she splits the dummy in two. Akane: I still don't feel better ... She walks up to the dummy, and picks it up. Akane: (thinking) Why do I care!? The engagement was set up by our parents! It's not like we were in love or anything ... but still ... I ... I don't know ... Akane's toughs are interrupted by the voice of Ranma around a corner. Ranma's voice: Look Shampoo, you can't do that ... Akane looks by peeking, Ranma is standing on the bird house, Shampoo kneeling in front of him. Ranma: If you fight a woman and lose, you don't kill them. And you don't marry the man that defeated you either. It's a stupid, old fashioned law. Akane: (low voice) Law? Ranko (in human form), Nabiki and Kasumi walks behind Akane. Ranko: Yes, law, it's not Ranma's fault ... you shouldn't blame him. Akane: Huh? Kasumi: You have to make up with Ranma. Nabiki: Do you really think that he was going to have another girlfriend? Ranma: So, Shampoo, do you understand? Shampoo jumps, smiling, and holds Ranma's face closer. Ranma: Nope ... you didn't understand a word ... Shampoo: Woo da ailen. Nabiki takes out a chinese dictionary. Nabiki: That means ... "my dear". Akane: Grrrr! Ranma: Now Shampoo, listen to me! I'm NOT going to marry you! You got that!? Shampoo: Woo ai nii. Shampoo leans closer to Ranma, who begins to blush. Ranma: I ... hum ... this marriage thing ... Nabiki: Let's see ... woo ai nii means ... "I love you". Akane: Would you shut up! Ranma: We ... we should know each other first. Akane face faults. Kasumi: Oh! How thoughtful of him. Ranko: Brotherrrrr! BAM! Ranko runs towards Ranma, kicking him up and away. Ranko: What the HECK are you doing!? Shampoo: Ai len! ... (notices Ranko) Ranko! Shampoo kill! Ranko: Ooops ... forgot about that ... whoa! Ranko runs away, while Shampoo is chasing her with a broad sword. A while later, on the roof top of the dojo. Ranma is laying down, thinking. Ranma: (thinking) She was always trying to kill me ... or Ranko ... so I never really noticed that Shampoo was cute ... If only Akane were more like that ... SPLASH! Ranma-chan: AW! Cold! Ranma turns around, Ryoga is sitting behind him, with an empty bucket. Ranma-chan: What the heck did you do that for Ryoga!? Ryoga: You know Ranma ... Ranko came in just a while ago ... her hair a mess ... her clothes almost completely destroyed ... and it's all because YOU defeated that chinese girl in China so ... CLANG! Ryoga tosses the bucket at Ranma, hitting him fully on the face. Ryoga: WHY DON'T YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR ACTIONS INSTEAD OF LETTING YOUR SISTER SUFFER ALL THIS! Ranma, falling down, flips around and stands on her feet. Ranma-chan: And you think that I want that!? Eh? Akane ... Ranma notices Akane right next to him. Akane: (smiling) Hi Ranma, you don't have to worry about our engagement. SCHIAF! Akane slaps Ranma on the cheek, and leaves a red hand print on the red headed face. Akane: So you can go and get to know her better!! Akane leaves. Ranma-chan: Akane ... I ... Shampoo: Ranko! Me kill! Ranma-chan: Eh!? Ranma runs away, being chased by Shampoo, who is still holding her sword. Ranma-chan: HELP! Shampoo: KILL! The two jump from roof top to roof top. On the roof of the dojo. Ranko comes flying (in fairy form) and lands on Ryoga's shoulder. Fairy-Ranko: Well ... at least she's not chasing me anymore ... but this wasn't what I had in mind when I asked you to talk to Ranma. Ryoga laughs nervously, scratching the back of his head. Down at the dining room. Soun: It's kind of funny ... don't you think? When he's a man, she want's to marry him. But when he's a girl, she wants to kill her. Nabiki: They DO need to get to know better. Inside Akane's bedroom. Akane: Ranma you JERK! ------------------------------------- End of Chapter 26.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 27: Nerima, Tokyo, early morning. The Tendo Dojo. Akane, all dressed in her school uniform, is walking to the dining room to have breakfast. Inside the dining room, Soun, Kasumi, Nabiki, Ryoga and Ranko are already having breakfast. Ranko: Good morning Akane. Akane: Good morning. Kasumi: Ah! Akane ... could you go and wake up Ranma? Akane: Huh? Why me!? Kasumi: It's there something wrong? Nabiki: She's still angry at him because of the Shampoo incident ... Akane: I am not! Soun: Akane ... why don't you just admit your feelings? Akane: WHAT FEELINGS!!? Soun: (crying) You are mean ... mean ... Kasumi: It's ok dad ... it's ok. Akane stomps upstairs and into Ranma's room. Akane: Ranma! Wake up! We are going to be late! EH!? She is greeted by the sight of Shampoo sleeping in Ranma's bed, resting her head on his chest. Shampoo: Ai len. SPLASH! Ranma-chan: AH! COLD! Ranma gets up and turns to look at Akane, looking angry at her, and holding an empty bucket of water. Ranma-chan: Akane!? Why did you do that for!? Shampoo also wakes up, and turns Ranma's head to look at her. Shampoo: Woo da ailen. Then, she notices that Ranma is now a girl. Ranma-chan: Sh ... Shampoo? What ... what are you doing in here? A few seconds later, down at the dining room, Ranma passes by, running and screaming, with Shampoo following her with a broad axe. Shampoo: Ranko! Me kill! Ranma-chan: What a way to begin a day! Kasumi looks at the two running girls. Kasumi: So ... Shampoo is here? Ranko pops her head from under the table. Ranko: Is she gone? Ryoga: Yes, you can come out now. Later, at the way to school. Ranma and Akane are walking to school, Ranko and Ryoga are a few feet behind them. Ranma: I want to make something clear! Shampoo got into my bed while I was sleeping! Akane: I don't want to hear your stupid explanations! Ranma: You aren't even listening to me! Ranko and Ryoga look at them argue. Ryoga: Why don't they just give it a rest? Ranko: I have no idea. Later, in school, at lunch hour. Room 1-F. RUMBLE! Student: Huh? What was that noise? RUMBLE! Student 2: Sounds like it's getting closer ... CRASH! The wall behind Ranma suddenly caves in, and Shampoo enters the class room. Ranko quickly hides under her desk. Shampoo: Hello Ranma! Ranma: (looking annoyed) Oh ... hi Shampoo ... Shampoo: Me make lunch for husband! Akane steps between the two. Akane: Look! I had it with you! How dare you come and go trough the walls like that! And who said that Ranma was YOUR husband! Shampoo just looks at her, then leans closer and gives her the kiss of death. Ryoga: That was ... Ranma: ... the kiss of death! Ranko: (in a low voice from under her desk) Ryoga-kun? Ryoga-kun ... what's going on? Ryoga: I'll tell you in a minute ... Akane: Very well! I accept your challenge! Ranma: No Akane! Wait! SOCK! Akane punches Ranma out trough the window. Akane: You shut up! (looking at Shampoo) Now we are going to settle this once and for all! Outside, Ranma lands on his feet on a tree, and bounces back, using one of the branches. Ranma: Akane! She's too fast for you! SLAM! CRASH! Akane closes the window, making Ranma fall down again. Akane: Who are you calling slow! Outside, Ranma is climbing the wall, and then re-enters the class room. Ranma: Akane! Girl: Akane and that chinese girl left that way ... She points at another hole at the wall. Girl 2: Yes ... and Ranko and Ryoga followed them after they left. Ranma: Akane ... Ranma jumps trough the hole, and runs, he hears Ranko's voice at the other side of the fence, with a jump he leaps over it. Ranma: Akane! Akane is lying down on the grass, her eyes closed. Ranko is kneeled besides her, trying to make her react. Ryoga is standing besides Ranko, looking down at Akane, without saying a word. Ranko: Akane! Akane! Wake up! What did Shampoo so to her!? Ranma walks to them. Ranma: What happened? Ryoga turns his head too look at him. Ryoga: We followed them, but we were too late. Akane: Huuuu ... Akane wakes up, and holds her head as she sits up on the grass. Ranko: She's alright! Akane looks up, at Ryoga and Ranko. Akane: Ranko? Ryoga? What are you two doing out here? Ranma steps in between the two. Ranma: You idiot! I told you not to fight Shampoo! Akane looks closely at Ranma. Akane: Who are you? --------------------------------------------- End of Chapter 27.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 28: Akane lifts herself up from the floor, and walks away. Remembering. She remembers fighting Shampoo. She remembers that she was too fast for her. She remembers that she jumped over her blow, and fell behind her. Then she doesn't remember anything else. Akane: (thinking) But my head fells fresh all of a sudden. Akane walks away, Ranma, Ranko and Ryoga follow her. Ranma: Hey! Akane! Wait up! Akane: Leave me alone! Who are you? Ranma: (thinking) she ... she must have amnesia! Ranko walks next to Akane. Ranko: Akane ... did Shampoo hurt you? Akane: Huh? No, don't worry Ranko. Ryoga: You remember Ranko, but you don't remember Ranma? Akane: Ryoga? What do you mean? (thinking) Ranma ... that ... that sounds familiar ... but ... Akane falls on her knees, holding her head with both hands. Ranko: Akane! What's wrong! Akane: I know! It's a cuban dance! Ranma: That's ... rumba ... Akane: Huh? Then it's a chinese dish! Ranma: That's ... ramen ... Ranma looks closely at Akane. Ranma: (thiniing) She remembers everything else ... she has only forgotten me! Right after school, Ranko, Ranma and Ryoga take Akane to Dr. Tofu's clinic. Dr. Tofu: Hmmm ... I don't see any injuries ... how did you feel after you woke up? Akane: Now that I think of it ... my head felt more fresh. Dr. Tofu: Hmmm ... that can only be ... Ranma: What!? What!? Dr. Tofu: The legendary technique ... XI FA XIHEN GOU SHIATSU! Ranma: Eh!? What the heck is that!? Genma walks into the room, in panda form, holding a sign. Genma's sign: Yes! That's exactly what happened! Akane: Mr. Saotome ... Ranko: Dad? Ranma: Did you saw what happened dad? Genma's sign: With my own eyes! Genma takes another sign and begins writing in it. Ranma hands him a steaming kettle. Ranma: Turn back, alright? A second later, Genma, in human form, is drinking some tea. Genma: Now that I remember it ... I still can't believe it. Once Shampoo got behind Akane ... she washed her hair, then she dried it, and finally combed it. In just 56 seconds! Dr. Tofu: Incredible ... Akane: So that's why I felt my head a lot more fresh ... Ryoga: Excuse me ... but I don't get it ... what does that have to do with Akane having amnesia? Dr. Tofu walks towards his practice skeleton, and shows some spots on its head. Dr. Tofu: The XI FA XIHEN GOU SHIATSU it's a special combination of specific pressure points on people's head, and a certain kind of shampoo. The two things combined can make a person forget something or someone. Ranma: So THAT'S why Akane can't remember me! Akane: (looking at Ranma) Who are you? Ranma: (looking at Dr. Tofu) It's there a cure? Dr. Tofu: No, unless we find that special shampoo. Ranma: In that case ... Ranma grabs Akane by the waist and runs outside. Ranma: Let's go Akane! Akane: What are you doing!? Ranma jumps from rooftop to roof top, still holding Akane. Akane: What are you doing!? Let me go!! Ranma: We have to find Shampoo and make her give us the special shampoo! Where is Shampoo!? Back at the clinic. Shampoo: Ni hao. SPLASH! When Ranko sees Shampoo, she uses a nearby bucket to turn into a fairy. Fairy-Ranko: That was close ... what is she doing here? Dr. Tofu: Let me introduce you my new nurse. Ryoga: Oh ... how nice ... I think ... ----------------------------------------------- End of Chapter 28.

At the Tendo Dojo. Akane: Hi, I'm home! Akane walks inside the house. Kasumi: Akane! Nabiki: Ranko and Ryoga told us that you forgot about Ranma ... is that true? Akane: Ranma? Who's Ranma? Kasumi: ...... Nabiki: He's the person standing right behind you. Akane turns around, Ranma is looking at her. Akane: What are you doing in my house!? Ranma: Well ... I live here ... Kasumi: Oh, my ... Nabiki: You REALLY don't remember him ... Soun walks to them. Soun: Well ... that's not so bad ... you still remember me, right Akane? Akane looks at Soun. Akane: Who are you? Sound breaks into a crying ball of sobs. Akane: Dad! Get up! I was just joking! Ranma: (thinking) Where's Shampoo? Suddenly, someone hugs Ranma from behind. Shampoo: Woo da ailen! Ranma: Shampoo! You! BONK! Suddenly, Akane hits Ranma on the head. Shampoo: What you do!? Akane: Huh? (taking her fist away from Ranma's face and looking at him) Who are you? Ranma: Huh? How come that ...? Akane: (thinking) I don't understand ... when she hugged him ... I felt angry ... why? Nabiki: It's a reflex! Kasumi: Deep inside she still remembers Ranma! Shampoo looks how Akane is looking at Ranma, trying to recognize him with no success. Shampoo: (thinking) She is more strong than Shampoo tough. Shampoo jumps up, and towards Akane's head, holding something in her hand. Shampoo: Another XI FA XIHEN GOU SHIATSU! Just when she was about to apply the technique, Ranma grabs Shampoo's hand, and takes the shampoo bottle in her hand. Ranma: I finally got the shampoo! Ranma is about to drag Akane to the bathing room to wash her head, when Dr. Tofu entered the house. Dr. Tofu: Stop Ranma ... that won't be of any use! Akane: Dr. Tofu ... Ranma: What do you mean? You told me that I needed the shampoo to cure her? Dr. Tofu: Read the label of that bottle. Ranma does as he is told, but the label only has three numbers in it. Ranma: 110? Dr. Tofu: That's the one that erases the memories ... to restore Akane's memories you need the bottle labeled 119. Ranma: 119!? And where can I get that!? Dr. Tofu takes out a little book. Dr. Tofu: Don't worry. I have the recipe right here. Kasumi: Dr. Tofu! Then you can cure Akane? Dr. Tofu's glasses fog up as he hears Kasumi's voice, turns around, and begins ripping the book in pieces. Dr. Tofu: K ... Kasumi ... how nice to find you here ... Kasumi: Well ... this is my house ... Ranma: The book! You are shredding the book! A few hours later. Ranma is in his room, packing up his belongings into his backpack. The others see him, and gather around the door to ask. Nabiki: Ranma? Where are you going? Ranma: Isn't it obvious? I'm going to China to get that 119 shampoo and cure Akane! Akane: (thinking) That boy ... he seems to worry a lot about me ... Ryoga: Ranma is really going all the way to China? Just to get that stupid Shampoo? Ranko nods and smiles. Ranko: I know my brother a lot more than he knows himself ... he may not show it, but he cares a lot about Akane ... Ryoga looks at Ranko, then at Ranma, and nods in understanding. Ranma walks out of the room, with his backpack. He stops and looks at Akane. Ranma: Don't worry Akane ... I'll help you remember me. And with that, Ranma jumps out a window and disappears into the night. Akane: (thinking) Who is he? I wish I could remember ... A while later, Ranma is running trough the streets of Nerima. Ranma: (thinking) Now ... how in the world am I going to get to China? I guess I'll have to swim like last time. Suddenly, Shampoo jumps down from a tree holding a small bottle, Ranma reads the label, it only has three numbers 119. Ranma: Sh ... Shampoo ... 1 ... 1 ... 9 ... Ranma tries to grab the bottle. Ranma: Hand it over! But Shampoo just leaps away and up on a rooftop. Ranma: You are NOT getting away! Ranma jumps up too, and it's a lot faster than the amazon, caching up with her in no time. Ranma: Got you cornered Shampoo ... now give me that bottle! Shampoo opens the top of her shirt, and places the bottle between her breasts. Shampoo: You pick up ... Ranma: And you think THAT is going to stop me! I'm used to the female body ... now give me that! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Ranma is about to pick up the bottle when Shampoo screams at the top of her lungs. Ranma: No, no, no, no, no, no! I didn't mean to! Sorry! Sorry! Ranma tries to think of some way to take the bottle from Shampoo, suddenly, an idea pops into his mind. Ranma: Shampoo! Let's make a deal ... if you give me that bottle I'll do anything you want. Shampoo turns around, smiling. Shampoo: Really!? Ranma: Yes ... except marrying you, or killing Akane. Shampoo: Okay ... then ... YOU kill Ranko! Ranma: What!? --------------------------------------- End of Chapter 29.

Ranko: Let me guess ... she still thinks that it was ME who defeated her. Ranma: Yes ... she doesn't know about the curse yet. Flashback of that night. Shampoo: If you kill Ranko, me give you shampoo 119. Ranma: Okay. But ... it's going to be an "almost dead", alright? Shampoo: Shampoo not sure what that means, but accepts anyway. End of flashback. Ranma: That's what happened. Ranko: And what are you going to do? Ranma: The answer is simple. You two have to beat me up, then turn me into a girl and show Shampoo that I kept my half of the deal. Ryoga: Beat you up? Ranko: Are you sure about that brother? Ranma: Of course I'm sure! Now get started! Ranko and Ryoga look Ranma, then at each other, then they shrug their shoulders, and run towards Ranma. WHAM! CRASH! Ranko: Sorry about this brother. BAM! Ryoga: But if you want so badly to help Akane ... SOCK! Ranko: Then we wont argue with you. BLAM! At that moment Akane walks inside the dojo. Akane: What's going on here!? Ranko and Ryoga stop while Ranma is lying on the floor, the two turn around to look at Akane. Ryoga: Akane? We were just ... Ranko: He asked for it you know? And only because he want's to help you. Akane: What a dull excuse! Stop picking on that poor weakling and fight me if you feel like it! Ranma stands up at this comment. Ranma: Who are you calling weakling! Akane: Who are you? Ranma: Arrrggghhh! Why do you think I was doing all of that! You know what! You are a tomboy! Those words seem to gong inside Akane's head. Akane: (thinking) He ... he called me a tomboy. Ranko walks next to Akane. Ranko: It ... it seems like that made some effect on her ... quick brother! Insult her again! Ranma: What? Alright ... Ranma walks closer and closer to Akane, saying more and more insults at her. Ranma: You are un-cute! Completely sex-less! Plain as a plank! Akane holds her head, as if something was trying to come out, and suddenly, in a burst of anger, she hits Ranma on the face. BLAM! Akane: Ranma! You jerk! Ranko: It ... it worked! Ryoga: Akane! Do you remember him? Akane: What? But of course I remember Ranma. CRASH! One of the walls cave in, and Shampoo walks in. Shampoo: Nii hao. Ranko hides behind Ryoga. Akane turns to look at the newcomer. Akane: Shampoo! Shampoo looks at Ranma who is lying on the floor from Akane's punch. Shampoo: Ailen! Shampoo reaches for Ranma, but Akane drags him away from her by the pig-tail. Shampoo notices that, and looks angrily at Akane. Shampoo: You remember him ... violent girl. Akane: Look who's talking! Shampoo: If you remember ... then you have to DIE! Shampoo runs towards Akane, aiming her index finger to Akane's head. But Ranma jumps in front of her just in time to stop her. Ranma: Stop this Shampoo! Shampoo smiles and hugs Ranma. Shampoo: Woo ai nii. Ranma pushes Shampoo away. Ranma: I said stop this Shampoo. You have to let Akane alone. Shampoo: She in Shampoo's way. Me kill. Ranma: Alright then ... you leave me no choice. Ranma looks at Ryoga, and his sister behind him, he grabs a bucket of water from the floor. Ranma: Ranko, come here for a second. Ranko steps slowly from behind Ryoga. Shampoo: Ranko! Me kill! Shampoo is about to run towards Ranko, when Ranma stopped her. Ranma: Stop Shampoo ... it's time for you to know the truth. Ranko did not defeat you ... Ranma makes a gesture to Ranko to step closer, Ranko nods and does so. Standing next to each other, Ranma lifts the bucket and empties it in both their heads. Instant Ranma-chan and Fairy-Ranko. Fairy-Ranko: You see now Shampoo? Ranma-chan: Ranko never fought you, it was me all the time. Shampoo: Ranma ... you ... Shampoo remains quiet for a minute, then burst out in anger. Shampoo: Me kill! Ranma turns away, waiting for Shampoo's blow, but it never came. Opening her eyes and turning her head, Ranma sees that Shampoo is crying. Shampoo: I ... can't ... bie la. Ranma-chan: Shampoo ... Later, in the bathing room. Ranma and Ranko are cleaning themselves, both in cursed forms. Fairy-Ranko: If I remember ... bie la means "good bye". Ranma-chan: I see ... Fairy-Ranko: So, what are you going to do now brother?

Akane Tendo ... I love you ... by looking at you from afar, I was happy ... but then ... that Saotome came along ... and ... and ... BOOM! The boy looks up, as Ranma has blown up a paper bag above his head. Skinny Boy: Ah! Hem ... Saotome ... what a surprise ... A bunch of guys see them, and run next to the boy. Boy: Hey Gosunkugi! Boy 2: Are you still taking pictures of Akane? Boy 3: I want copies of all of the pictures! Boy 4: Yeah ... me too! Ranma: Humf ... what a bunch of perverts ... I don't see what they see in that tomboy ...OUCH! Akane, hearing Ranma, opens the window and punches him on the head, Ranma falls down, and as he does, Gosunkugi (the skinny boy) takes a sample of Ranma's hair. Ranma: Hey! What are you doing!? Gosunkugi runs away. Ranma: Who was that weirdo? Boy: That was Hikaru Gosunkugi, he's in our class. Ranma: He is? I never saw him before. Meanwhile, Gosunkugi, standing next to a tree, with candles attached to his head, takes out a voodoo doll, and places Ranma's hair inside it. Gosunkugi: Finally ... I have one of Saotome's hair ... he dares being engaged to the beautiful Akane! Taking out a nail and a hammer, he begins hammering the doll on a tree, but ends up smashing his fingers flat. Gosunkugi: OUCH! No ... it didn't work ... Later. Ranma is coming out of the school, as Kuno runs towards him. Kuno: Ranma Saotome! Today you'll meet your doom! Ranma: Ah! Sempai Kuno ... how are you doing? SWISH! PLAF! Kuno swings his bokutou at Ranma, but he just dodges and kicks him on the face. Kuno drops on the floor. Ranma: Can I help you with anything? No? Alright then, see you tomorrow. After everybody leaves, Gosunkugi walks next to Kuno. Gosunkugi: You know ... if I tell you his weak spot, you'll be able to defeat him very easily. Kuno: Huh? Who are you? Gosunkugi: Hikaru Gosunkugi, of class room 1-F. So you want to know it? Kuno: Know what? Gosunkugi: Ranma's weak spot. Kuno: How dare you insult me like that! I would never sink to the level of attacking someone's weak spot like that! Gosunkugi: Alright, sorry to ask. Gosunkugi is about to leave when Kuno grabs him by the sleeve. Kuno: So? Gosunkugi: So, what? Kuno: What's his weak spot? Gosunkugi: But you just said that ... Kuno: If I openly attack his weak spot then it's ok. So what is it? Gosunkugi: Well ... I don't know it yet. Kuno grabs his bokutou and sends Gosunkugi flying away. Kuno: Then go and find out you idiot! A few days later, in the building of Furinkan's Kendo club. Ranma is standing on top of Kuno's head. Kuno: What are you doing Saotome ... Ranma: I received a note. See? Ranma hands Kuno a note that reads. Ranma Saotome: Wait for me on top of Kuno's head. Signed: Hikaru Gosunkugi. Gosunkugi: Got you! Gosunkugi takes a cardboard box, and opens it dropping all of its contents on Ranma and Kuno. They were just plastic snakes, frogs and stuff like that. Gosunkugi: I couldn't find his weak spot ... so I tried this. Ranma: So, that's it? You are just trying to find my weak spot? Then I'll save you the trouble, I don't have one. Kuno stands up. Kuno: Liar! Everybody has a weak spot! Even the great Tatewaki Kuno is disgusted by this! (He signals the plastic snakes) Ranma: Well, I don't! I'm not afraid of anything! Kuno: Interesting ... I WILL find your weak spot Saotome ... and when I do, Akane and your sister Ranko will be mine! Later, Ranma is walking back home. Thinking back of what Kuno said. Ranma: It doesn't matter, he'll never find out. Ranko and I managed to keep our weak spot in secret to be discovered noooOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!! As he turns a corner, Ranma sees something that frightens him completely, and faints. Akane, Ranko and Ryoga hear the scream, and walk to were they heard it. Ranko: That was Ranma! They reach the spot were he was unconscious. Akane: What happened? Ryoga: He seems like he has just seen a ghost. Ranko: (thinking) Oh! Man! Not now ... we can't let people know that we are afraid of ... of ... Ranko can't keep going, even thinking about that frightens her. From a corner, Gosunkugi spies on them. Gosunkugi: (thinking) So ... Saotome IS afraid of something. I will find out what it is ... and then you'll be defeated! ------------------------------------- End of Chapter 31.

Ranma and Ranko, both wearing their respective gis, are standing in front of Genma. Genma: Ranma, Ranko ... from today we will begin training again. Ranma: Huh? What's the problem dad? Genma: Shut up son! I heard that you fainted yesterday! I didn't train you two to be weak! Genma jumps towards Ranko and Ranma, and the two of them jump to two different ways. Ranko: It wasn't Ranma's fault dad! Ranma; Yeah! It was all because of ... Akane: Because of what? Ranma and Ranko turn to look at the entrance of the dojo, were Akane and Ryoga are looking at them. Genma: You dropped your guard! POW! BONK! CRASH! With a single kick, Genma sends Ranma and Ranko flying towards the wall. Ryoga: Mr. Saotome! Is it true then? Ranma has a weak spot? Genma: Ranma and Ranko both. Akane: Both? And what is it? Before Genma could answer them, Ranma splashes him with cold water. Ranma: Shut up dad! (looking at Akane) And you, stop trying to find out, okay? Akane: You are not going to tell me? Ryoga looks at Ranko. Ryoga: Are you going to tell me at least Ranko-chan? Ranko shook her head. Ranko: Sorry ... but nobody can find out. Ryoga: Huh? But why? Ranma: We have our reasons. Akane: Reasons? What kind of reasons? Ranma: This for example! CRASH! Ranma breaks a hole trough the floor, and from it emerges Gosunkugi with a tape recorder. Gosunkugi: Hum ... hi ... how are you doing ... I was just checking your plumbing ... Gosunkugi steps out of the hole, and runs away from the dojo. Ranko: See? Akane and Ryoga just nod. Outside, Kasumi is walking trough the garden, she seems like she is looking for something. Kasumi: Hanachiyo! Where are you!? Hanachiyo! Akane and Ryoga step out from the dojo. Akane: What's wrong Kasumi? Kasumi: Akane! Ryoga! Have you seen Hanachiyo? It's the pet of a friend, I'm taking care of it but I lost it a few minutes ago. Ryoga: Well, you can start by saying what kind of pet is Hanachiyo. Kasumi: It's a cat. At that same moment, at the back side of the dojo. Ranma: That idiot Gosunkugi ... Ranko: We can't let our guard down for a second brother. Ranma: I know ... can you imagine what would happen if they found out our weak spot? Ranko was about to answer, when she and Ranma heard something moving in the bushes. Ranma: Gosunkugi! Is that you! I tough I told you to beat it! Suddenly, whatever was in the bushes leaps out, and Ranma and Ranko are scared of it as if it were death itself. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Gosunkugi, that was a few feet away from the dojo hears the scream of the twins. Gosunkugi: What was that scream? He is abut to run when suddenly, Ryoga and Akane run over him, and the rest of the Tendos run behind them. Akane: That was Ranma ... Ryoga: And Ranko-chan! When they reach the back of the dojo, Ranma and Ranko are lying on the ground, with a small spotted cat lying between them. Kasumi: Hanachiyo! Kasumi picks the little cat up. Akane and Ryoga kneel besides Ranma and Ranko respectively. Akane: Ranma ... Ranma wake up! Ryoga: Ranko-chan! What happened!? SPLASH! Genma, back in human form, splashes the twins with cold water. A wet Ranma-chan wakes up, with a tiny fairy lying besides her, and the two look up at the others. Ganma: You two are just cowards! Fairy-Ranko: Shut up dad! Ranma: Yes! This is all your fault! Genma: Really? Genma picks up the cat from Kasumi's arms and shows it to Ranma and Ranko. With a scream, Ranma jumps up and holds of one of the wood planks of the ceiling of the dojo, while Ranko flies up and hides behind Ryoga's head, trembling with fear. Ryoga: Ranko-chan ... what's wrong? Akane: I see ... so, Ranma and Ranko's weak spot is ... cats. Later, in the dining room, everybody sits around the table while Genma explains. Genma: It all started when Ranma and Ranko were ten years old. I was going to train them to learn the Neko-ken. Akane: Neko-ken? Ryoga: What's that? Genma: Well, you take a few chikuwa (Fish sausages), tie them around the body of the students, and toss them into a hole filled with starving cats. Kasumi: Oh, my ... Ryoga: What!? Ryoga stands up and grabs Genma by the collar. Ryoga: How DARE you do that to poor Ranko-chan! Ranma: Hey! Aren't you forgetting someone? Genma takes out a book, and hands it to Ryoga. Genma: It's all in that book. Ryoga looks at the book, the title is "Secret techniques". Ryoga opens the book at the part that explains the Neko-ken, and indeed, it says to do exactly what Genma said. Then Ryoga turned the page. Ryoga: "This is a stupid and dangerous thing to do, only an idiot will try to teach someone the Neko-ken". You mean that you didn't even read the whole book!!? Genma: No. BONK! PAF! Ranko and Ranma hit Genma on the head. Ranko: You idiot! Ranma: How can you do that to us!? Meanwhile, outside, Gosunkugi has heard everything. Gosunkugi: Finally ... I know Saotome's weak point! Prepare, because tomorrow, I'll send you to your worst cat-nightmare! ------------------------------------- End of Chapter 32.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 33: Ranma, Akane, Ranko and Ryoga are walking to the gym at Furinkan High School. Ranko: You got a letter saying that Akane was kidnapped, and being held hostage in the gym? Ranma: Yup. Ranko: But Akane is right here? Ranma: I can see that Ranko ... I just want to find out who wrote that. As the two step inside the gym, they can see Gosunkugui, disguised as Akane, on the stage. Gosunkugi: Ah! Ranma! It's me Akane! Come and save me! BONK! Akane punches Gosunkugi on the head. Akane: What the heck do you think you are doing!? Gosunkugi: (thinking) Akane talked to me! The others step on the stage. As Gosunkugi stands up. Gosunkugi: HA HA HA HA! I got you now Ranma! Gosunkugi pulls down a cord, and a trap door opens under Akane and Ryoga. Gosunkugi: Ooops ... Ryoga and Akane look up from were they landed. Akane: What are you doing!? Ryoga: Idiot. Ranma: Was that intended for me? Gosunkugi: HA! I was careless! But that wont happen twice! Gosunkugi pulls another cord, and a trap door opens under him, making him fall down too. Ranko: *sigh* What a moron ... shall we follow them brother? Ranma: After you. Ranko: Why thank you. The two Saotomes jump down and land with a stand at the floor below. Gosunkugi: Enough! Gosunkugi hands some fish sausages to Ranma. Ranma: Huh? Ranko: That ... that is ... Akane: Chikuwa? (Fish sausages) Ryoga: Is it just me ... or the whole room is moving around. Meow! That sound send shivers trough Ranma and Ranko's spine. The sound was followed by another exactly like it, and then another, and another. The whole room was filled with cats. Gosunkugi: Ha! Ha! Ha! You are lost Ranma! I found your weak spot! Come on! Scream all you want! But instead of that, Ranma laughed nervously. Ranma: HA HA HA HA HA HA! You think that a bunch of cats are going to scare us! You are wrong! Right sis! Ranko shook her head as fast as she could. Ranma: S ... see ... now ... let's ... let's go ... Akane: (thinking) Well ... they are holding it quite good ... Ryoga: (thinking) We have to get out of here before they faint ... Ryoga walks towards a door, and opens it. Gosunkugi: No! No that door! Ryoga: Why not? ROAR! A big tiger steps out of the door. Back at the dojo. Genma is drinking some tea that Kasumi brought him. Kasumi: But ... is there a way to cure Ranma and Ranko's fear of cats? Genma: No Kasumi ... I tried everything, I repeated the process with fish cakes, canned fish, raw fish ... it was just failure after failure. Kasumi: Oh, my ... Genma: And the worst part is that ... all of that brought a even bigger threat! Kasumi: There's more? Back at the bottom of the gym's stage. Gosunkugi is lying on the floor, unconscious after Akane punched him for his stupid explanation of why he brought a tiger to scare Ranma. Akane was next to Ranma and Ranko, trying to keep the cats away from them. Ryoga was standing between the tiger and the other, with a battle ready stance. Ranma and Ranko were holding each other, shivering as they looked at the cats that were coming closer and closer. Ryoga: (thinking) Now ... how in the world am I going to fight a tiger in such a small room? Ranko/Ranma: (thinking) cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... cats ... Back at the dojo. Genma: When they fear of cats go to a point were they can't handle it ... they begin to act like a cat. Back at the bottom of the gym's stage. Ranma and Ranko have knelt in all fours, they aren't shivering anymore, and they have their eyes locked on the tiger. Ranma/Ranko: Meow ... Back at the dojo. Genma: When that happens ... they become unstoppable. Kasumi: Oh, my ... ----------------------------- End of Chapter 33.

This FanFic follows the story as it appears on the manga. Any similarities with another FanFic are purely coincidental. Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 34: Akane and Ryoga stare dumbly at how Ranma and Ranko are behaving. Ranma: Meow ... The two are standing like a cat, and acting like one too. Ranko: Meow ... The two young martial artist look at the tiger in front of them. Akane: This ... this must be ... Ryoga: The Neko-ken! Meanwhile, back up, Kuno is entering the gym as the basketball team is having a practice match. Kuno: So, that idiot Gosunkugi has found the weak spot of the fiend Saotome Ranma? Then I shall defeat him easily, and claim the hand of Tendo Akane, and Saotome Ranko. KABOOM! A geyser of cats can be seen at the stage of the gym, Kuno looks up as all the animals run away scared, and moves to a side as a big tiger falls down, completely knocked out. Kuno: Cats? A tiger? What is the meaning of this? The first one to jump out is Ranma, who saw Kuno almost immediately. Kuno: Saotome!! Prepare to fight! Kuno takes out his bokutou, and is ready to strike at Ranma. SHRED! SHRED! SHRED! But using his hand like a cat claw, Ranma turns Kuno's bokutou into shreds. Kuno: How ... how could you do that to my blade! Kuno looks at Ranma, then at the remains of his weapon, and decides that he has quite a disadvantage, so he throws his broken bokutou away. Kuno: Fetch! Ranma looks at it, and follows running outside. At that moment, Ranko also emerges from under the stage, and runs towards Kuno. Kuno: Ranko Saotome! You finally run to my arms! VROOOOM! CRASH! Kuno is knocked out cold as Ranko runs over him, and out trough the door. Ryoga jumps out, and stretches a hand to help Akane climb up. Akane: Where did they go!? Ryoga: Outside, I think ... what happened to them? Akane: Maybe all those cats ... and the tiger ... set out the Neko-ken. Come on! We have to follow them! Ryoga nods, and follows Akane out of the gym. Outside, they find the twins on top of a tree. Ranma is licking himself like a cat, and Ranko was scratching the tree. Akane: Ranma! Hey Ranma! Ryoga: You two! Come down! None of them noticed Genma walking by, holding a big bag. Genma: They can't hear you now. Akane: Mr. Saotome. Ryoga: You know what happened? Genma: Yes. When they fear of cats go over the edge, they over power it by becoming cats themselves. Ryoga: What!? We have to reverse it ... how do we do that? Genma: By calming them. The only person that was able to calm them at our old neighborhood was this nice old lady that lived next door. Ryoga: So, all we have to do is go and get that old lady and ... Huh? Ryoga and Akane stare dumbly as Genma has disguised himself as an old lady. Genma: Don't worry ... I have everything under control. Genma jumps on the tree, the two teenagers-gone-cat see him, and hiss. Genma: Here, kitty, kitty, kitty ... MEOW! SLASH! GRRR! SLASH! HISS! CRASH! SLASH! POW! Genma falls back down, completely covered by scratch and bruises. Akane walks to the tree, and screams up. Akane: Ranma Saotome, you come down this instant. Ranma suddenly looks down when he hears that voice, and jumps down. Ranko looks at him, and does likewise. Ryoga: Akane! What did you do!? Akane: I ... I don't know ... are they angry? Ryoga: I don't know ... Akane: Will they attack us if we move? Ryoga: I don't know ... Akane: Will they attack us if we don't move? Ryoga: I don't know ... Akane: What do you suggest then? Before Ryoga could answer a third 'I don't know' Ranma and Ranko leap towards them. Ranko aiming at Ryoga, Ranma aiming at Akane. The two can just close their eyes and wait for the attack, but it never came. When they opened their eyes, the two Saotome twins were lying on them like I they were kittens resting on the lap of their owners. Ranma was laying on Akane, Ranko was laying on Ryoga. Akane: What ... what happened? Akane looks at Ranma, then at Ranko, the two look completely calm, and are just purring innocently. Ryoga: I ... I guess that its what Mr. Saotome said ... we have to let them rest, and calm down. Akane: What!? Like this!? No way! It's too embarrassing! Ryoga: Oh, and I suppose that my situation isn't? Akane just looks away. Ranko: Purrr ... Ryoga looks down at Ranko, and smiles at the small girl. Ryoga: Ranko-chan ... And with that, he begins caressing Ranko's hair. A few minutes later, Ranko falls asleep. Meanhile, just a few feet away. Akane: Look Ranma ... as much as you may be enjoying this ... its quite embarrassing for me ... so get off me! Ranma looks up at Akane, leans his face closer to hers and kisses her. Girl: Did you see that!? Girl 2: Yes! Ranma just kissed Akane! Akane begins to blush furiously, and then bursts out in anger. Akane: RANMA! YOU JERK! BLAM! And with a punch, sends Ranma flying away. Ryoga: You know ... you shouldn't have done that ... Akane looks at Ryoga in such a threatening way that makes him shut up. Then she walks away, as everybody around them comment on what they just saw. Girl: Was that their first kiss? Girl 2: I don't think so ... I mean, they ARE engaged. Back at Ryoga and Ranko. Ranko: Hoooo ... what ... what happened ... Ryoga: Ranko-chan! You are back! Ranko: Huh? Ranko notices were she is, and were she is resting, and quickly backs up and kneels on the floor, looking down, and blushing. Ryoga: Ranko-chan? Are you alright? Ranko: I ... I went cat ... didn't I ... Ryoga: Hum ... yes ... you did ... Ranko: Did ... did I hurt anybody? Ryoga: Just Kuno, but ... you don't remember what happened? Ranko shook her head. Ranko: Sorry ... when Ranma and I are like that ... we don't remember anything. Ryoga: Oh ... I see ... Ranko looks around. Ranko: Where's Ranma? Ryoga: Ranma? He was sent in a one way trip to the sky thanks to air Akane. Ranko: Where did he land? SPLASH! Ranko: I think that was the answer. At the pool, Ranma-chan swims up and out. Ranma-chan: What happened ... last thing I remember was going into Neko-ken with Ranko ... then everything is blank ... Meanwhile, Akane is walking back to the dojo. Akane: Ranma no baka ... Ranma no baka ... Ranma no baka ... --------------------------------------------------- End of Chapter 34.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 35: The Tendo Dojo, Ranma's room. Ranma: What? I kissed Akane? Ranko: Yes, every girl at school is talking about it. Ranma: That's impossible! I would remember doing something like that! Ranko: We were in Neko-ken Ranma! Neither of us remembers what we did! Ranma: I still don't believe it! Ranko: Then explain this brother! Ranko hands Ranma a picture of him, in Neko-ken, kissing Akane. Ranma: Where ... where did you get this? Ranko: Gosunkugi took it when it happened. Now do you believe me? Ranma: This ... this must be a tricked picture or something! Ranko was about to tell him how stubborn he was, when suddenly, one of the walls caved in, and a slash cut the picture in two. Kuno entered trough the hole he made, and he looked really angry. Kuno: Saotome! You WILL die! Ranma: K ... Kuno ... Later, Ranma is walking to Dr. Tofu's after an intense fight with Kuno. Ranma: (thinking) That stupid Kuno! What does he care if I kissed Akane or not ... besides ... that doesn't count as a kiss ... when in Neko-ken we act without thinking ... or do we? Ranma recalls what Ranko told him a while ago. Ranko: (being remembered) You think whatever you want Ranma. How do you explain that we attacked everybody, but Ryoga-kun and Akane were able to calm us then? Maybe when in Neko-ken, we still seek the people we thrust and love. Ranma stops remembering and shook his head. Ranma: No! That's impossible! ... or is it? What if I really love Akane ... and I have been telling myself otherwise? Ranma stops thinking about that, and focuses on something else. Ranma: (thinking) Akane must be angry at me ... In Dr. Tofu's clinic. Dr. Tofu: Is there something wrong Akane? You have been in the moon since you came here. Akane: What? No! Nothing is wrong. I'm ... I'm fine. Dr. Tofu: Ok, if you say so. Akane: (thinking) Its all Ranma's fault! Akane places her tea cup down and stands up. Akane: I'll be going now. (thinking) When I get home, I'll kick his ace in! Akane walks towards the door just as it opens, and Ranma walks in. The two blush furiously when they see the other. Dr. Tofu: Why Ranma? How are you doing? Please, come in. A few minutes later, as Dr. Tofu is placing some band aids on Ranma's injuries, he notices that the two teenagers have been unusually quiet. Dr. Tofu: Is there something wrong between the two of you? At that moment, the front door opens and a mailman walks in. Mailman: Special delivery for Dr. Ono Tofu! Dr. Tofu: Coming! Dr. Tofu leaves the room to get the delivery, and Ranma and Akane are left alone. Silence fills the room, as the two face at the opposite directions, and blush furiously. Ranma: I ... hum ... sorry. Akane turned her head. Akane: You remember? Ranma: No ... not really ... when Ranko and me go into Neko-ken, we don't remember anything. Akane: Oh ... so you would have kissed anybody. Meanwhile, in the waiting room, Dr. Tofu is looking at the box that just arrived. Dr. Tofu: From China? But ... this box is empty. Back at the room where Ranma and Akane are talking. Ranma: What do you mean that I would have kissed anybody! Akane: What? Is it not true? Ranma: I'm not that kind of guy! Akane: Then why did you kiss me!? Ranma: That ... well ... hum ... Ranma was thinking if he should tell Akane Ranko's theory about the Neko-ken, but he wasn't if it was the right thing to do. Ranma: Hum ....... Akane: I knew it! You are just a pervert and a jerk! Ranma: Why do you always get angry before listening!? You ... you tomboy! Akane: And now you insult me!? YOU CALL YOURSELF A MAN! Akane grabs a bucket of cold water, and splashes Ranma with it. SPLASH! Akane: Why don't you just stay as a girl forever! BLAM! Akane: And go marry in some other planet!! Akane punches Ranma into Earth's low orbit. Then her eyes get wet with tears, she buries her face in her hands and bursts into tears. Akane: Ranma! You jerk! A while later, after Onna-Ranma crash landed on the Tendo dojo. She was in the bath room, getting undress to take a bath. Ranma-chan: (thinking) That stupid Akane ... did she have to hit me so hard!? ... and all because of a simple kiss! Akane: (being remembered) You would have kissed anybody! You don't even remember! Ranma-chan: (thinking) But ... maybe she is not angry because I kissed her ... but because I ... As she in deep tough, she entered the bath room, and was interrupted by a familiar and unwanted sound. Small pink cat: Meow. Ranam-chan: WAAAAAA! A CAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!! Ranma-chan tries to run away, but slips wit the soap and falls into the furo, the cat jumps into the furo too. Ranma-kun emerges from the furo, and two seconds later, emerges Shampoo. Ranma: Sha ... Shampoo? Shampoo: Ni hao. Outside of the bath room, Akane was walking upstairs. Akane: (thinking) Ranma no baka! It didn't matter who it was ... he would have kissed anybody ... Back in the bath room. Ranma: Shampoo ... you ... you were that cat? Shampoo: Ranma a man again! Shampoo happy! Shampoo ignores that they are both naked, and hugs Ranma.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 36: Ranma was thinking in about what Akane saw just the other night in the bath room. Ranma: (thinking) I'm NOT going to say that I'm sorry! That was not my fault! I'm ... I'm just going to tell her the truth, and that nothing happened and that's it! Yeah ... I'll do just that. As Ranma turns the corner of the garden, he spots Akane watering some plants. Ranma: AKANE! I HAVE SOMETHING TO ... Akane just turns around and smiles. Akane: Why, good morning Ranma. This takes Ranma by complete surprise. Ranma: Huh? You ... you are not angry? Akane: Me? Angry? About what? Ranma: Well ... about last night. Akane: Ahhh ... that. Well ... SPLASH! Akane turns Ranma to his girl form with the water. Akane: I don't care ... BLAM! And kicks Onna-Ranma into low Earth's orbit. Akane: ... one bit!! Ranma has reached her altitude limit, and now is beginning to fall back down. ZOOM! Ranma-chan: Woa! A blur passed next to Ranma as she was falling down, but thanks to her speed, it never hit her. She flipped in mid air and landed on her feet on a roof top. Ranma-chan: Who are you? The person that attacked Ranma landed on front of her. It was a really old lady, very small, with big eyes and long hair, she was so short that she was using a cane to stand up at Ranma's face level. Old lady: You are really good Ranma ... or should I say son in law. Ranma-chan: What? Old lady: We'll se each other some other time. And with that, the old lady ran away, jumping from house to house. Ranma-chan: She ... she called me Ranma? How did she know that I wasn't Ranko? Does she know about the curse? ... and what's that son in law business? Later, at the Tendo Dojo. Shampoo walks in, carrying some metal ramen delivery boxes. Shampoo: Nii hao! Kasumi: Why Shampoo! What a surprise! Nabiki: Did you come back from China? Shampoo: Yes! Shampoo move to Nerima to start business. She says this as she places the ramen on the dining table. Ranma-chan: What do you mean that you moved to Nerima!? Ranko: You are not going and try to kill me again? Right? Shampoo: Ranko no worry, Ranko never fight Shampoo so Shampoo no need kill. Ranko: Well, that's a relief. Ryoga: So ... WHY are you here? Old lady: To finish something. Everybody turns around when they hear that voice coming from one of the sides of the table. Ranma-chan: You again!? Who are you! Shampoo: That is Shampoo's great grand mother, Cologne. Cologne (Old lady): Shampoo told me everything, you are going to marry her. Soun: Of course not! Ranma has an engagement with Akane! Cologne: It's our village's rule, he defeated Shampoo, he has to marry her. Kasumi: May I say that your japanese is excellent. Cologne: That's because I'm over 100 years old. Nabiki: And you look a lot less than that too. Ranma takes a nearby hot kettle and turns back into his normal male form. Ranma: Now, let's make things clear! I'm NOT going to marry Shampoo! Shampoo: Ranma ... follow Shampoo please. Ranma: Huh? Ranma follows Shampoo to the bath room. One there, the amazon gets naked. Ranma: Sh ... Shampoo! What are you doing!? Shampoo opens the cold water of the shower. Shampoo: Look what happened to Shampoo! Shampoo steps under the cold water, and Ranma almost faints at the sight of what Shampoo turned into, a cat. Ranma: Get away! Get away! Shampoo just jumps into the furo, and emerges human again. Shampoo: It happened few weeks ago ... Flashback. The springs of Jusenkyo, Shampoo and Cologne are standing on two of the bamboo poles. The Jusenkyo guide watching them. Guide: Lot of people are using Jusenkyo lately. Why that? Cologne: Shampoo! How dare you return to the village without killing that Ranko girl! Now 'm going to have to train you all over again! Shampoo nods and jumps towards Cologne, Cologne does that as well. BAM! The two meet in mid air, and Cologne hits Shampoo with her cane, sending her down and into one of the cursed springs. SPLASH! Guide: Ahh ... too bad. She fell in Maoniichuan. Legend says that 1800 years ago, a cat drowned in that spring. Now whoever falls into it, turns into a cat. End of Flashback. Shampoo: ... and that all Ranma's fault! Ranma: Huh? Why is that my fault! BAM! Cologne comes from behind and hits Ranma on the head with her cane. Cologne: It's entirely your fault! Ranma: I had it with you two! Leave me alone! Ranma tries to hit Cologne, but she dodges him easily. Then she tries to hit Ranma, who also dodges. After a few missed attacks by the two of them, Cologne exits trough the window, and Ranma follows her. Ranma: Come back here you old ghoul! Cologne: Alright son in law! Try and catch me! If you can! Cologne jumps on top of a tree, then on a roof top, getting away more and more with every jump, finally, she stops at the top of a big wood structure in a park. Cologne: HA! He's a 100 years from catching me! Ranma: What took you so long? Cologne turns around and sees Ranma standing a few inches from her. Cologne: You are good, no wonder that you were able to defeat Shampoo, son in law. Ranma: Don't call me that! I'm not marrying her! Cologne: Maybe not now ... but just you wait ... heh, heh, heh ... And without saying or doing anything else, Cologne turns around and jumps away. Ranma: What ... what did she meant with that? ------------------------------------- End of Chapter 36, hope you liked it. Send your comments and stuff to lucasliso@rescueteam.com Till next chapter.

Ryoga had the ball, but was running to his own goal. Ranma: Give me that! We are going to lose because of you! Ranma takes the ball from Ryoga. Ryoga: Hey! You are just trying to steal my spot light! Ranma: What spot light, you pig-boy!? Ryoga: What did you call me you ... hermaphrodite! Ranma: Oooohhhh! That does it! Ranma and Ryoga begin a fight right in the middle of the field, and none of them notice that one of the players of the other team is taking the lose ball, and kicking it at the goal. Other Player: Alright! Goal! Ranko: Hey! Ryoga-kun! Brother! Ranma and Ryoga stop fighting for a minute and look at Ranko calling them from the side of the field. Ranma: Yes? Ryoga: What is it? Ranko: The game is over, you lose. Ranma and Ryoga look at their team's members looking at them, and the two smile nervously. Ranma: Look what you did Ryoga! Ryoga: What I did!? It was all your fault! Ranma was about to answer, when, out of nowhere, Shampoo comes from behind and hugs him. Shampoo: Ranma! You marry Shampoo now, yes? Ranma: Shampoo! Look, you can tell your stupid grandmother that I'm NOT going to marry you! Cologne: You will soon! Cologne also appears from nowhere. Ranma: You again! I told you to leave me alone! Cologne: I will ... but there's someone that want's to see you. Cologne takes out a whistle and blows hard. PRRRRRRIIIIIII!!!!! Suddenly, a boy in a big white coat and long black hair jumps into the field. Boy: Ranma Saotome! The old ghoul told me everything about you marrying Shampoo! Ranma: I'm NOT marrying Shampoo!!!! Cologne: Ranma Saotome, this is Mousse, he was defeated by Shampoo. Mousse: I told you that we were only three years old Mousse talks to a tree. Cologne: I'm over here you blind-mole! Put on your glasses! Mousse does so, and turns at Ranma. Mousse: Anyway ... I heard that you defeated Shampoo! That means that if I defeat you ... Cologne: You still wont get Shampoo. Mousse: Eh? Well ... then ... I get ... HER! Mousse points at Akane. Akane: Now wait a minute! Mousse runs towards Ranma, and in a blur, hits him, impaling him in the wall. Ranko: Brother! You ok? Ranma gets up. Ranma: I'm fine ... what did he do? Shampoo: Ranma careful. Mousse is champion of hidden weapon. Ranma: Hidden weapon, huh? Well, I dare you to try that again! Mousse: I will. Mousse runs towards Ranma again. Mousse: MIICHII PAINYAO CHAN! CLING! Ranma and Mousse are holding what looks like a potty training, plastic swan. Ranma: .... THAT was what hit me!? Ranko: Yeah brother. How humiliating. Ranma: Shut up Ranko! (looking at Mousse) Mousse! You, me, here, tomorrow, right after school! Be there! And with that Ranma leaves, Ranko and Ryoga follow him, and then Akane saying things like "how dare he bet his fianc!" and stuff like that. Cologne: (thinking) Excellent. Everything is going just as I planned, tomorrow Ranma will be too busy fighting Mousse, and I will put on phase two of my plan.

Ranma was waiting for Mousse on the ring. Ranma: Where is that weirdo? At the side of the ring, Shampoo was selling hot ramen for the crowd. Shampoo: Ramen! Get your ramen! Akane: Shampoo, where's your great grandmother? Mousse will be here any minute! Shampoo: Shampoo no know. Great grandmother said that she was going to do something, but not tell what. Akane: Hum ... ok. (thinking) Come to think of it ... Ranko and Ryoga are late too. At that moment, Mousse jumps in the middle of the crowd, and grabs one of the students by the shirt. Mousse: Saotome! Let's fight! BONK! From up the ring, Ranma punches Mousse on the head. Ranma: Put your glasses on! Mousse does so, and turns to look at the ring. Mousse: Ahh! Saotome! Prepare yourself! Mousse jumps on the ring, and the two combatants take battle ready stances. Ranma: So Mousse? What kind of stupid trick are you going to do now? Mousse: You dare call my techniques "stupid tricks" I'll show you ... MIICHII CHIITAN CHUAN! From under his white tunic, Mousse takes out many hen eggs, and tosses them at Ranma Ranma jumps up to dodge them. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Ranma: Those were grenades? You are just a coward! Mousse: Heh, heh, heh ... this is just getting started. Meanwhile, at the other side of the school. Ranko: Hurry up Ryoga-kun! Ranma's duel must have started by now! Ryoga: I'm coming, I'm coming! Ryoga catches up with Ranko, and just when the two are about to continue running, water comes from above and splashes Ranko. SPLASH! Ryoga: Ranko-chan! Fairy-Ranko: Who did this! Voice: I did! Fairy-Ranko: Huh? SPLUT! PUFFFF! From up, also comes a gas bomb, as Ranko and Ryoga breath the smoke, they fall asleep. It was a sleeping gas bomb. Back at the fight. Mousse: HIGI DACHOU CHAN! Mousse high kicks Ranma, but he just jumps to a side, rolls, and kicks Mousse on the back of the head, making him drop his glasses. Akane: He lost his glasses! Ranma is going to win! Mousse: Not so fast! Mousse takes out more smoke granades, and covers the whole ring with smoke. Ranma: *cough* Where are you!? *cough* Fight me you coward! Ranma kicks and punches at empty air. Akane: Ranma! He's above you! Ranma looks up just in time to see Mousse falling on him with claws attached to his shoes. Mousse: MIICHII INCHUA CHAN! Ranma: YAKITORI DEFENSE! Using his arms to stand, Ranma high kicks at the falling Mousse, who flies out of the ring, completely unconscious. Ranma: HA! I win! Cologne: Very impressive son in law. Shampoo: Great grandmother? You just got here? Ranma: What do you want now you old ghoul? Before she could answer, Ryoga comes running as fast as he can, it took him a while to find the soccer field, but he finally did it. Ryoga: Ranma! Ranko-chan is gone! Ranma: Huh? What do you mean she's gone!? Ryoga: We ... we were coming this way, when somebody dropped water on her, and then a sleeping gas bomb ... and when I woke up ... she was gone. Cologne: Yes, she's gone because I kidnapped her! Ranma, Akane, Ryoga and Shampoo turn to look at Cologne. Ranma: You kidnapped my sister!? Ryoga: You ... you give me back Ranko-chan! Cologne: Easy now, you can have her back, if Ranma agrees to marry Shampoo. Ranma: What!? You can't use my sister to force me like that! Cologne: Is your choice son in law, good bye! Cologne jumps away from the school. Ranma: That ... that ghoul ... Ryoga: R ... Ranko-chan ... Shampoo: Great grandmother went too far ... don't worry, Shampoo find out how you can rescue Ranko. And so, Shampoo follows Cologne. Akane: Poor Ranko ... Ryoga: I'll rescue her! How DARE that old woman do something like that! Ranma: Yeah ... don't worry Ryoga, I'll help you. ------------------------------------------ End of Chapter 38. Again, I take a second to thank Dark Master for pre-reading this.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 39: Fairy-Ranko: Huuu ... my head ... what happened? Ranko woke up, and sat on the floor, looking around. She was in her fairy form, dressed with her little fairy clothes. She also noticed that she was inside what looked like a small cage. With all the sides, but one, made of solid metal, the only part of the cage that wasn't metal, was because it was covered with metal bars. Fairy-Ranko: What is the meaning of this!? Why am I here!? Cologne: So, my little prisoner has woken up. Ranko turned her head and saw Cologne looking at her from behind the metal bars. Cologne: Hello. Fairy-Ranko: You! You kidnapped me! Cologne: That's right, and I won't release you until you brother marries Shampoo! Fairy-Ranko: You ... you ... I'll show you. Ranko ran towards one of the bars, and kicked it with all her might. CLANG! Fairy-Ranko: OUCH! Ranko held her foot in pain. Cologne: Heh, heh, heh ... you'll never be able to break that cage. It's made entirely out of a magic metal alloy, not even a stampede of elephants would budge it. Fairy-Ranko: Let me go! Cologne: Sorry, not until your brother marries Shampoo. Cologne jumps away on her cane, leaving Ranko alone, the cage is on top of a table in the kitchen. Fairy-Ranko: Wait! Please let me go! You can't do this! Ranko wrapped her arms around her body and slowly sank down on her knees. Then, she began to cry. Fairy-Ranko: Let me go ... I don't want to be here ... She closes her eyes. Fairy-Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... At Furinkan High School's swimming pool. Ranma-chan: (thinking) That stupid old ghoul! Ranma has come to school as a boy, but switched to girl form many times so the teachers won't think that Ranko was skipping classes. He was worried about Ranko, and so was Akane. But Ryoga was the worst, nobody has tried to talk to him in the whole day, as he almost sent Kuno into intensive care just for mentioning something about Ranko. As Ranma was swimming, Shampoo, in cat form, was right behind her. Ranma-chan: WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! A CAAAAAAAAT!!!!! Ranma began swimming as fast as she can to get away from Shampoo, who just follows her. Boy: Wow ... can Ranko swim or what? Akane: (thinking) Shampoo ... CRASH! Finally, Ranma came to a stop when she crashed with one of the pool's walls. Later, in one of the equipment deposits for the gym classes. Ranma, back in male form, Akane and Ryoga were watching how Shampoo turned back to human, and wrapped a towel around her. Akane: Why are you here Shampoo? Shampoo: Shampoo keep her word, she found out stuff about Ranko. Ryoga: Ranko-chan!? What did you find out!? Shampoo: She in fairy form, inside a special little cage. No one can break cage, it made with special magic metal. Only one key open cage. Akane: Really? Shampoo: This eyes no lie. Ryoga: And where is that key!? Shampoo: Great grandmother wears key around her neck. Ryoga grabs Ranma by the arm, and runs out. Ryoga: Come on Ranma! I need you to not get lost! Ranma: Okay, okay! But let me walk on my own! Akane is about to follow, but looks at Shampoo. Akane: Why are you doing this Shampoo? I thought that you wanted to marry Ranma? Shampoo: Shampoo want to. But Shampoo also thinks that great grandmother went too far. A few minutes later, at the Nekohanten. Ryoga: Nekohanten? Ranma: This is the place. BLAM! Ryoga breaks down the door, and the two enter the restaurant. Ryoga: OLD GHOUL!! Cologne: Hello Ryoga, hello son in law, are you here to marry Shampoo? Ranma: I told you that I wasn't going to marry Shampoo! Ryoga: Where's Ranko-chan!? Cologne: She is in the kitchen if you want to see her, but I wouldn't recommend trying to break the cage, you'll hurt yourself. Ryoga rushes into the kitchen. Ryoga: Ranko-chan! Ranko, who was lying on the cage, raises her head and looks at the door. Fairy-Ranko: Ryoga-kun! I knew you were going to come for me! Ryoga: Don't worry Ranko-chan ... I'll get the key to open that magic cage. Fairy-Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... I want to go home. BWAM! The sound came from out front. Fairy-Ranko: What was that? Ryoga: I'll go see. As Ryoga exits the kitchen, he sees Cologne looking at a Ranma-shaped hole in the wall. Ryoga: What happened? Cologne: Nothing, just my son in law being enough stupid and tried to take this key. She signals at a key hanging at her neck. Ryoga: The key! WHAM! Ryoga tries to pick th ekey, but Cologne hits him with her cane, sending him flying away, and making a Ryoga shaped hole in the wall, next to Ranma's. CRASH! Ryoga lands on a trash can, Ranma next to him. Ranma: Hi Ryoga. Ryoga: Shut up! Ryoga re-enters the Nekohanten, and again he is sent flying out by Cologne. He tries again, and again, and again, and the result is exactly the same. Ranma: Ryoga ... I want to rescue Ranko too ... but stop already ... you'll hurt yourself, that ghoul is just too strong. Ryoga: Never ... I ... have to ... save ... Ranko-chan. Cologne steps out of the restaurant. Cologne: If it's that important to you, Ryoga, then follow me for a minute. Ryoga: Huh? A little while later, Ryoga, Ranma, Akane, Shampoo and Cologne are standing at the back of the Nekohanten, Shampoo is finishing building up a fire. Ranma: Why did you start the fire if it's summer? Cologne takes out a few chestnuts. Cologne: Look at this chestnuts. She puts all of them into the fire. Cologne: Now, watch closely. Suddenly, Cologne moves her hands in and out of the fire with such a speed that you can only see a blur. A second later, all the chestnuts are in Cologne's hands again. Shampoo: It's the legendary technique KACHUU TENSHIN AMAGURIKEN! Akane: Wow ... I didn't even see her hands. Cologne: If you master this, then getting the key to free Ranko will be a walk in the park for you. Ryoga stares at the fire. Ranma: So Ryoga? What are you going to do? Ryoga: What do you think!? I'm going to learn this thing, and when I do, I'll get that damn key to free Ranko-chan! Ryoga runs away. Ranma: Hey Ryoga! The dojo is that way! ... Haw, heck ... I'll better catch up with him before he gets lost. And Ranma follows Ryoga. ----------------------------------------- End of Chapter 39. (39 already? Wow ... where does the time go?) And again I'm thanking Dark Master for pre-reading this chapter. Anyway, if you want to send any comments, fell free to do so at lucasliso@rescueteam.com Till next Chapter.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 40: Everybody in the Tendo household was getting ready for the festival. Well, everybody except Ranma and Ryoga, who were outside, still trying to master the Kachuu Tenshin Amaguriken. Akane: Where are Ranma and Ryoga? Nabiki: I think they are still playing with fire in the garden. Outside, Ranma and Ryoga are knelling in front of a fire with many chestnuts inside, both seem with many burns all over. Ryoga: This is WAAAY too hard ... Ranma: I know, I know ... but we have to do this or else we won't be able to rescue Ranko. Cologne: So, are you two still practicing? Ranma and Ryoga turn their heads when they hear that voice, Cologne jumps into the garden and next to the two young martial artists. Cologne: If you don't master the Chestnut fist, then you won't be able to get this key from me. Cologne shows Ranma and Ryoga the small key that will open the cage that Ranko is into. Ryoga: Give me that!!! Ranma and Ryoga jump towards Cologne, and move their hands at blinding speed, trying to get the key from the old amazon. But after a few moments, they stop with many prints on their hands that read "wrong". Cologne: You two are still too slow for me. Then, Cologne walks near the fire, and performs the Kachuu tenshin amaguriken, grabbing all the chestnuts and not getting burned. CLAP, CLAP, CLAP. By then everybody else in the house was watching her, and were clapping when she finished. Nabiki: Very impressive. Cologne: Ha, ha, ha, ha! We'll meet again! And with that, Cologne jumps out of the garden, and away from the dojo. Soun: Ranma, Ryoga ... that old amazon is too good for both of you. Ryoga: I ... I know ... but if I don't master that technique ... then I'll never see Ranko-chan again. Ranma looked at Ryoga, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic for the eternally lost boy. Sure, he was a jerk and a pig, but he was changing. The old Ryoga would have forced him into marrying Shampoo just to get Ranko back. But now Ryoga was trying to learn a very difficult technique to rescue Ranko himself. Soun: Ryoga, you need to relax a little. Ryoga: Mr. Tendo? Soun: Why don't you two forget about the training for a while, and come with us to the fair? Ranma/Ryoga: What!? Later, at the fair. Ryoga: We can't be here! We have to go and rescue Ranko-chan! Akane: Aw! Come on you two ... you came here to relax. At first, both, Ranma and Ryoga, seemed a bit guilty about having fun while Ranko was being held as a hostage, but after a while, they relaxed and began to have fun for real. Fish man: Come here! One net for 100 yens, you get to keep every fish you get with each try. Akane: Okay ... I'll give it a try. Akane takes the little paper net, and tries to fish one out. But as soon as it touches the water, the net breaks. Akane: Again! And the net breaks. Akane: Again!!!!! And the net breaks. Akane: AGAIN!!!!!!! And the net breaks. Akane: ARGH! This nets are defective! Ranma: Is not that Akane ... is just that you are too slow, here, let me try. Ranma takes one of the little paper nets and with blinding speed takes all of the little gold fishes out. Ranma: This is easy. Akane: Yeah! Awesome! Keep going and we'll be able to get all of them! 20 seconds later, Ranma had taken all of them out. Fish man: (thinking) He ... he's too good! I can't let him take all the fishes! After Ranma is done, the fish man takes out a big fishbowl filled with piranhas. Fish man: Is not over yet, you have to fish out this piranhas with just your bare hands, or else give me back the gold fishes. Akane: Hey! Ranma: Cheater! Ryoga: Wait Ranma ... let me try this one. Ranma: Huh? Ryoga? Sure ... but why? Ryoga: I just realized something, this is just like the kachuu tenshun amaguriken, if I can take out those piranhas without getting bit, and without getting wet, then ... Ranma: ... you'll be able to learn the chestnut fist! Alright! Ok mister, we'll give it a try! Fish man: Huh? And with that, Ranma and Ryoga move their hands in and out of the fishbowl, at a speed that their hands were still dry after they moved in and out taking the piranhas by the tail, one by one. Later, at the other side of the fair. Shampoo: Welcome everybody! The Nekohanten is presenting the haunted house. Ranma: Shampoo! Shampoo: Nii hao Ranma. Nii hao Ryoga. Ryoga: Where's your great grandmother! Cologne: I'm right here. Ranma/Ryoga: WOA! Cologne touches Ranma and Ryoga on the back with her cane, scaring them. Cologne: We'll have our duel inside the haunted house! Ryoga: Come on Ranma! Let's follow her! Ranma: Coming! Ranma and Ryoga follow Cologne into the haunted house. Inside, a few people dressed in scary costumes try to attack them, but the two deal with them in just a few seconds, reaching the end of the hallway in less than a minute. Ranma: Finally ... huh? Ryoga: Now what? Ranma and Ryoga come to a stop when they reach a big pond filled with cold water. In the middle of the pond, Cologne is standing on a little raft, holding the key on one hand, and her cane on the other hand. Cologne: What are you two waiting for? Ranma: What now Ryoga? If I touch the water I'll still be human ... but you ... Ryoga: I don't care! I'll get that key one way or another! Taking a nearby staff, Ryoga jumps into the pool of cold water, using the staff as a still, getting closer and closer to Cologne. Ryoga: Now! Kachuu Tenshin Amaguriken! Cologne: So you learned that technique after all ... Ryoga's and Cologne's hands move at a blinding speed, and finally the two come to a stop. Ryoga: YES! I got it! Cologne: Huh? The key! Ryoga is holding the key on his right hand, just as he was losing his balance. Ryoga: Ranma! Catch! Ryoga tosses the key towards Ranma who catches it just as Ryoga falls into the cold water. SPLASH! Cologne: I am impressed ... but this isn't over yet. Pig-Ryoga: Bweee! Bwee! Ranma looks at the key, then realizes something. Ranma: Hey! This is a chocolate key with a candy wrap! Pig-Ryoga: Bwee!? Cologne: Yes ... I switched it just in case ... good bye. Pig-Ryoga: BWEEEE! Cologne jumps up, breaking a hole trough the roof and outside. Ryoga swims to the edge and walks out of the pool, looking miserable. Pig-Ryoga: (thinking) Ranko-chan ... I failed you ... Just then, Akane runs in. Akane: Ranma! Ryoga! Are you two ok? Ranma: Yes ... but we didn't get the key ... Pig-Ryoga: ... bweee .... -------------------------------------- End of Chapter 40. Again, thanks to Dark Master for pre-reading this.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 41: The Nekohanten is closed in the city and open at the beach, like every summer. And so, the Tendo's the Saotomes, and Ryoga went also to the beach. On top of a flag pole, Ranma (in girl form and wearing a bathing suit) is looking around, at the bottom is Ryoga, also wearing his bathing shorts. Ryoga: Well Ranma? Do you see it? Ranma-chan: I sure do ... there it is! Ranma points out at the direction of the Nekohanten. And jumps down. Ranma-chan: Come on Ryoga, let's get that old ghoul! Ryoga: You bet! And the two run towards the chinese restaurant. Meanwhile, inside the Nekohanten. Fairy-Ranko: How long do I have to be here!? Ranko, still in fairy form and still inside the little cage is looking out of her small prison, she is wearing a small swimsuit. At here side, on the counter, is Cologne. Shampoo is not there, probably on a delivery. Cologne: Stop asking me that. I told you, you'll be free when your brother agrees to marry Shampoo. Fairy-Ranko: As soon as I'm out of this stupid magic cage, I'm going to come back for you you old ghoul! Cologne: HA! I don't thinks so. Besides, your brother and your boyfriend have become quite strong. The two have learned the Kachuu Tenshin Amaguriken in just a day. But still, I'm better than them. At that moment, Ranma and Ryoga break into the Nekohanten. Ranma-chan: Old ghoul! Fairy-Ranko: Ranma! Ryoga-kun! Ryoga: Ranko-chan! Are you ok? Fairy-Ranko: I am now that you are here. Cologne: You know, I'm getting tired of you two always breaking into my restaurant. How about a little competition to end this once and for all. Ranma-chan: Huh? What do you have in mind? Later outside. There's a big sign that reads "Watermelon smashing race". Commentator: Welcome all contestants! Here we will begin the watermelon smashing race, the rules are simple, you have to get to the finish line with your watermelon intact ... and the prize is, a date with miss Shampoo! And then Ranma (back in male form) and Ryoga notice that Shampoo was also holding the key to free Ranko. Ryoga: Did you see that Ranma? Ranma: Yeah ... we have to win this stupid race and we'll be able to free Ranko. Shmapoo: Ranma race for Shampoo win? Shampoo happy! Ranma: Eh? No! Is not that ... humf! Just then Shampoo hugs Ranma, just as Akane passes by. BONK! Akane: Ranma no baka! Ryoga: You ok Ranma? Ranma: ........... And the race begins. Ranma gets to the front pretty fast, and didn't notice that Ryoga went running the other way. Ranma: Out of my way! SMASH! SMASH! Ranma takes out of the race almost everybody, but suddenly Cologne jumps in front of him, she is also holding a watermelon. Ranma: Old ghoul ... so you are in this race too? Cologne: Of course son in law, I'm not going to make this easy for you. Ranma: I told you to stop calling me that!? While Ranma and Cologne fight one-on-one, Soun and Genma try to attack Ranma. Soun: Ranma! How dare you try to win this race for Shampoo!? You are engaged to Akane! Ranma: Quit bothering me! I'm doing this for Ranko! At that moment Akane passes by, she is also holding a watermelon. Akane: Let it rest dad, I don't care what Ranma does! Akane smashes the rest of the contestants out of the contests. And so, only Ranma, Cologne, Soun, Genma, and Ryoga (who's still lost) are still in the race. Akane is about to reach the goal, but Shampoo, (also in the race) stops her. Shampoo: Only Ranma can win! Akane: Out of my way Shampoo! SMASH! SMASH! Ranma passes by, and destroys the watermelon of Shampoo and Akane. Ranma: Girls shouldn't participate in this! Suddenly, Soun and Genma stop Ranma again. Soun: Enough Ranma! You have to decide! Genma holds Shampoo and Akane in front of Ranma. Soun: Akane or Shampoo ... kiss the one that you want! Ranma looks at the two girls, then at his dad (in panda form) then at Mr. Tendo, and walks towards Akane. Akane: (thinking) R ... Ranma ... in front of everybody? I ... I ... SMASH! SMASH! Ranma destroys the watermelons of Genma and Soun. Ranma: What do you take me for! Soun: WHAAAA! Sorry! Sorry! Commentator: And so ... only three contestants remain! The boy with the pig tail, the old ghoul, and the other boy with the bandanna, who we still haven't seen ... Meanwhile, in the Nekohanten. Ryoga: Hello? Ranko looks up when she hears Ryoga's voice. Fairy-Ranko: Ryoga-kun!? You are back? Do you have the key? Why do you carry that watermelon? Ryoga: What? Ranko-chan? That means that I'm in the Nekohanten ... I'm lost again ... at this rate I'll never win the race ... Fairy-Ranko: Race? Ryoga: Yeah ... a watermelon smashing race ... Fairy-Ranko: I have an idea Ryoga-kun, carry me out, and I'll guide you. Ryoga: Huh? Back at the race. Ranma and Cologne are fighting each other at just a few feet from the goal. Commentator: And so ... it comes down to this ... the two contestants are fighting next to the goal! Who will win? SMASH! SMASH! Commentator: Oh! The two contestants have destroyed the watermelons at the exact same time! It seems like a tie! Cologne: HA HA HA! You may have destroyed my watermelon, but I did the same thing, and since you didn't win, now your sister will remain my hostage until you marry Shampoo! Ranma: Damn ... Ryoga: I wouldn't be so sure ... Ranma/Cologen: Huh? Ryoga!? Commentator: OH! There was one last contestant! He still has his watermelon intact! And is at the other side of the goal! He is the winner! Ryoga is smiling at the other side of the goal, holding his watermelon in one hand and the cage with Ranko, who guided him there, in the other hand. Ranma: Ryoga ... he won ... so ... so that means that the key to free Ranko is ours! Ryoga: Exactly. Cologne: Damn ... I never expected this ... very well son in law ... here, a promise is a promise! Cologne tosses the key to Ranma who catches it. Cologne: But this isn't over! You WILL marry Shampoo! And with that Cologne jumps away. Ranma looks at the old lady far away, then walks towards Ryoga and Ranko. Ranma: Here sis ... allow me. CLICK. And with that, the cage opens and Ranko flies out, free at last. Immediately flies towards Ryoga's upper torso, and hugs him. Fairy-Ranko: Ryoga-kun! I knew you were going to save me! I missed you so much ... Ryoga: Me too Ranko-chan ... me too ... --------------------------------------- End of Chapter 41. Thanks to Dark Master for pre-reading this.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 42: ---------------------------------- Ranko ran trough the Tendo household, she seemed worried about something. Ranma: Are you okay sis? Ranko: Brother? Have you seen Ryoga-kun? Ranma: Ryoga? Le me see ... I heard him saying something about going back to the school because he forgot his books. Ranko: What? Alone!? Why didn't you stop him!? He's gonna get lost! Ranma: Alright, alright, so sue me. Ranko: Humf! I'll go look for him. Meanwhile, at the Nekohanten. Shampoo: Hello great grandmother. Cologne: Shampoo! Today's our lucky day! Look at the juicy pig I found wandering outside. Pig-Ryoga: Bweee! Bweee! Shampoo: Oh, good, we can eat for dinner. Cologne walks into the kitchen, as Shampoo looks at the black piglet. Shampoo: Shampoo sure she saw black pig someplace else ... Inside the kitchen, Cologne is holding Ryoga over a pot of boiling water. Cologne: Now hold still so I can cook you. Pig-Ryoga: BWEEE! BWEEE! Outside the kitchen, Shampoo just remembered that that black piglet is really Ranko's boyfriend, Ryoga. She walks into the kitchen. Shampoo: Great grandmother, that pig no can eat. Splash. Ryoga: AAAAAHHHHH! Ryoga jumps out of the boiling water. Ryoga: You stupid old lady! I'm gonna tear you apart! Ryoga tries to punch Cologne, who just moves her hand and tosses Ryoga against a wall. A while later, Ryoga (dressed up again) and Cologne are talking in Cologne's room. Cologne: So, you are Ranma's friend ... Ryoga: Of course not! I only put up with him because I love his sister! Cologne: So, that means that you still want revenge for the curse that he has given you. Ryoga turns to see Cologne, he stills remembers what she did a few weeks ago, when she kidnapped Ranko to force Ranma to marry Shampoo. Still, he was going to listen out what she had to say. Ryoga: What do you mean? Cologne: How about if I train you. If I train you I'm sure that beating Ranma would be a piece of cake for you. Ryoga then remembers how he and Ranma trained to do the chestnut fist move, how they have both learned it, but how Ranma ended up doing it better and faster than he did. Ryoga: Thanks, but no thanks. You have some nerve to ask me that after what you did to Ranko-chan. Ryoga stands up and walks away. Cologne: Where are you going? Ryoga: Away. Ryoga walks out of the room, and five minutes later walks back inside. Ryoga: Where's the door? Suddenly the two can hear Shampoo arguing with someone. Shampoo: You no can come in like ... woa! Ranko: Ryoga-kun! Are you here!? Ryoga: It's Ranko! A minute later, Ranko walks into the room. Ranko: Ryoga-kun. Here you are. I been looking for you, now let's go back to the dojo. Ryoga: Sure Ranko-chan. As Ranko and Ryoga walk out of the Nekohanten, Cologne talks back to them. Cologne: My offer still stands Ryoga! Ranko: Huh? What is she talking about Ryoga-kun? Ryoga: Nothing, don't worry about it. Ranko shrugs and the two of them walk back to the dojo. Back at the dojo, as soon as Ryoga walks in, Ranma falls standing on his head. Ramna: Finally you are back Ryoga! You had us all worried. Ryoga: YARGH! Ranma get off my head! Ryoga tries to hit Ranma, who jumps down very easily. Ryoga: I'm sick and tired of you always making fun of me! Ryoga runs towards Ranma, trying to punch and kick him, but Ranma dodges every single of his attacks. Ranko: Stop you two! Don't fight! Neither Ranma nor Ryoga listen to her. SMASH! Ranko: I said stop! Ranma: WAAA!!! Ranma goes flying out of the dojo thanks to a flying kick from Ranko. Ryoga: Ranko-chan ... Ryoga seeshow easily Ranko managed to hit Ranma, and how he wasn't able to land a single hit. Ranko then turns to look at Ryoga. Ranko: Ryoga-kun, please don't fight my brother. He's very skilled and fast and I don't want you to get hurt. Ranko's words made Ryoga feel like someone was stabbing him. Ranko was worried about HIM getting hurt! She was sorry for HIM because he was too weak to fight with Ranma! He couldn't stand it. So he just ran away from the dojo. Ryoga: Ranma you idiot!! Ranko looks how Ryoga runs away, a look of sadness in her eyes. Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... why can't you understand ... why can't you and Ranma just be friends ... A while later, as the sun was setting on the horizon. Ryoga was under a bridge, hitting a wall. So hard that holes were all over it. Ryoga: Ranma you idiot! Ranma you idiot!! RANMA YOY IDIOT!!! Cologne: So, you changed your mind? Ryoga turned around to see Cologne looking at him just a few feet away. Cologne: I wanted to talk to you again. Ryoga: What a coincidence, I wanted to talk to you about something too. ------------------------------- End of Chapter 42 Lucas Ricardo Liso (lucasliso@rescueteam.com) Disclaimer: All the characters here belong to Rumiko Takahashi and are used without permission, I don't intend to gain any money from this, so don't sue me.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 43: +++++++++++++++++++++++ Ranma and Genma were training in the woods. They were there because Ranko asked them after Ryoga took off on his own, and she didn't know exactly why. Soun and Kasumi had told Akane to go there too, so she can have a "wife training". CRACK! Akane uses a karate chop to cut a small log in half. Akane (thinking): What the heck is a wife training anyway!? Akane turned her head to see how Ranko was walking to wards the woods at a different direction that Ranma and Genma went. She was also dressed with a black shirt and black pants instead of her usual clothes. Akane: Hey Ranko! Where are you going? Ranko: I'm just gonna look around. (thinking) I have to find out why Ryoga-kun came here in the first place ... and why he didn't want to bring me along. Meanwhile, at another part of the woods. Ranma and Genma were sparring with each other, when suddenly Cologne pokes Ranma in the back with her cane, scaring him completely. Cologne: Hi son-in-law. Ranma: AAAHH! Ranma turns around. Ranma: You again? What the heck do you want!? Cologne: Don't worry, I'm not here to fight with you. But I recommend that you start to train as hard as you can ... you are going to need it soon. And with that, Cologne jumps away from tree to tree. Cologne: See you later. Ha ha ha ha ha! Ranma: What the heck was all that about. A while later, at another section of the woods, near a small waterfall. Ryoga and Cologne were standing in front of a large boulder. Cologne: Okay Ryoga, do you see this boulder? Ryoga: What about it? Cologne: Destroy it. Ryoga: That's it? Way too easy. Watch this. Ryoga walks towards the boulder, draws a fist back and hits it with all his might. SMASH! Ryoga: There. The boulder is now split into two even pieces right in front of Ryoga. Cologne looks unimpressed. None of them noticed Ranko looking at them from a tall tree nearby. Ranko (thinking): So that's it ... Ryoga-kun came here to train. But why with Cologne? And what for? Cologne: Who told you to split it? I said that you should destroy it. Ryoga: Huh? Ranko (thinking): What does she mean? Cologne: Watch this. Cologne walks towards the boulder and touches it with her index finger. BOOM! The boulder breaks into a million little pieces. Ryoga: A ... amazing! Ranko (thinking): Wow! I wouldn't have believed it if I haven't seen it myself. Cologne: If I teach you this, beating Ranma will be a piece of cake. Ryoga: Yes, teach me this technique. At the tree, Ranko gasps at what she heard. Ranko (thinking): So that's it! Cologne wants to use Ryoga-kun to beat Ranma ... I better stay on the lookout for now. As the sun sets, Ranma and Genma go back to their camp to have dinner. Genma: Where's Ranko? Akane: She went for a walk, but hasn't come back yet. Should we go find her? Genma: No, she can take care of herself. Ranma: Yeah. Besides, we are starving. Akane: Good then, I made some rice with curry. Akane pours some on two plates and hands them to Ranma and Genma. Ranma: Well, it smells pretty good. Akane: Doesn't it? I used some wine to give in some taste. Genma: Well, lets try it. Ranma and Genma taste a bite of it at the same time. Akane: Well? Ranma and Genma stand up with a jump at the same time. Genma: Let's go Ranma, we have to train some more. Ranma: Yes! ZOOM! Ranma and Genma: See you later Akane! Akane watches them leave, then picks up one of the plates and tastes the food. Akane: EEEEW! This tastes awful! I don't get it ... what did I do wrong? Akane walks towards the ingredients and grabs a bottle. Akane: Maybe the wine wasn't a very good idea ... huh? This is vinegar. At another section of the woods Ranma and Genma were having an argument. Ranma: Why in the world did you let Akane come along! Genma: What are you looking at me for!? Ranko was the one that cooked when we traveled! But she wasn't there! Ranma stands up, and walks away. Genma: Ranma! Where are you going? Ranma: To find Ranko. Anything is better than to eat Akane's food again. Meanwhile, at another section of the woods. Ranko is still up at the tree, when a sound catches her attention. Crick. Ranko: Huh? The branch is breaking! CRACK! Ranko falls down, but makes a back flip in mid air and lands on her feet. Ranko: Wew ... that was close. Cologne: Well, well, well. Ryoga: Ranko-chan? Ranko curses inwards, they have seen her. Slowly she turns around. Ranko: Hum ... hi Ryoga-kun ... I was worried and wanted to see how you were doing. Cologne: I don't think so. You were spying on us, so now ... Ryoag: So now nothing! I don't care about Ranma, but YOU are not going to do ANYTHING to Ranko-chan. Cologen: Fine, fine, she can stay with us. Ranko: Thank's I think. Just then, Ranma emerges from the woods. Ranma: Hey sis! I was looking for you and ... Oh, hi Ryoga. Ryoga: Ranma ... Ranko: Please brother ... Ryoga-kun ... don't fight. Ranma: Fight? Of course not. I would never take advantage of someone as weaker as him. Ryoga: Who's weak!? Ryoga is about to attack Ranma when Cologne whams him on the head with her cane. Ryoga falls down with the lights punched out of him. Cologne: The fight will be in a week. I'm going to tough him up for you. With that, Cologne jumps away, holding Ryoga's limp body. Ranko: Hey! Wait up! I'm going with you! Ranma: Ranko? Why do you worry so much, I'm not gonna hurt him in the fight. Ranko stops, and turns around. Ranma is taken aback at how Ranko's eyes are all glassy. Ranma: Ranko ... Ranko: Ranma ... brother ... why can't you understand ... that's NOT the point ... And with that, Ranko runs away, following Ryoga and Cologne. Ranma: Was it something I said? --------------------------- End of Chapter 43 Lucas Liso (lucasliso@rescueteam.com) Disclaimer: All the characters here belong to Rumiko Takahashi and are used without permission, I don't intend to gain any money from this, so don't sue me.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 44: ======================== The woods. Ryoga was hanging from a tree like a pendulum, his legs and left arm were also tied, only his right arm was free, but all of his fingers but one were also tied with a cloth. Suddenly, a large boulder came down, swinging towards Ryoga. Ryoga: AAAAHHH! Ryoga tried to hit the boulder with his finger. CROC! But he didn't do it correctly and the boulder slammed him full. Cologne was down at the ground, looking up at him. Cologne: That was pathetic. Cologne jumped up and stood over the boulder. Cologne: When are you going to understand, you just need to touch it ... here! Cologne touched the boulder and it exploded into a million pieces, some of them even flew towards Ryoga, who took all the hits. A few feet away, Ranko was watching them, as she was cooking some luch. Ranko: (thinking) That technique is very powerful ... and Ryoga-kun is very determined to learn it ... if he does ... then ... Ranko imagined how Ryoga would use that technique against Ranma. Ranko: (thinking) Brother! Just then, Ranko heard a sound next to her and turned around to see how Ranma was trying to eat some of the food she was making. Ranko: Ranma! What are you doing here? Ranma: Hum ... sorry ... but you don't know how bad Akane's cooking is! It's poison! Ranko felt sorry for Ranma, he was her brother after all. Before she could answer, Cologne approached them, dragging an unconscious Ryoga by his shirt. Cologne: What are you doing here son-in-law? Spying on us? Ranma: Not a chance. Ranko noticed how bruised Ryoga was. And she rushed next to him. Ranko: Ryoga-kun! Ryoga-kun are you okay? Ranma watched them, and then walked away. Cologne: Leaving so soon son-in-law? Ranma: I was just worried about these two, (gesturing at Ranko and Ryoga) but I guess they are just doing fine. Besides, by Ryoga's condition I can tell that he's not learning anything fast. Cologne watched how Ranma leaved, then turned back at Ranko who was still holding Ryoga. Cologne: So? How's he doing? Before Ranko could answer, Ryoga woke up and stood. Ryoga: Stop asking stupid question old lady! Ranko: Ryoga-kun. You are okay. Ryoga stood up completely and dusted himself off. Ryoga: Let's go. I'm gonna learn to do that even if it kills me! To defeat Ranma is my ultimate goal! And I'll do it no matter what the price! Ranko was taken aback with Ryoga's words. Ranko (thinking): He's blinded with anger. All he wants is to defeat my brother ... why? Why do they have to fight? The two persons that I care more about in the world have to fight ... and I can't do anything to stop them. Why!? Meanwhile, back at camp were Ranma, Genma and Akane are staying. Genma: What? He's training to destroy a boulder with a single finger! ... That could only be ... the BAKUSAI TENKETSU. Akane: Huh? And what is that? Ranma: Yeah, explain it pop. Genma: Every single thing in nature has a braking point, if anybody can find and press that point ... Akane: How ... how terrible! Ranma: Don't worry. All I have to do I keep him from touching me. Piece of cake. Genma: Is it? Genma takes a stick and walks towards a tree. Genma: Let's see for ourselves! Genma uses the stick to throw a honeycomb of bees towards Ranma. Ranma: WAAA! Genma: If you can keep those bees from stinging you, then you don't have to worry about the BAKUSAI TENKETSU! Ranma: I'll show you! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! Ranma tried his best to keep the bees at bay, but after a few hours he was on the ground, stinged all over. Genma: Alright Ranma. Tomorrow you can try it again. Ranma (thinking): Just you wait Ryoga! I'm NOT going to lose! Meanwhile, at the parts of the woods were Cologne, Ryoga and Ranko were staying. Ryoga was trying again to destroy the boulder. SWING! Ryoga: Hahahahahahahahaha! TOC! TOC! TOC! TOC! Ryoga had managed to bury his fingers on the boulder, but it didn't blow up. Ryoga: Damn! Cologne: Terrible! You'll never get it right if you don't concentrate! Ryoga: Right! Okay! Let's do it again! Cologne: Now that's the spirit! And Cologne swung the boulder towards Ryoga again. Ranko was watching from ground level. Ranko (thinking): He's getting better and better at this ... if this keeps up he'll learn how to do this in no time. Later, Ryoga was already sleeping, exhausted from all the training, he had finally mastered the BAKUSAI TENKETSU. Ranko took the opportunity to talk with Cologne. Ranko: Okay, old lady, spill it out. Cologne: Huh? What do you mean? Ranko: Why are you training Ryoga-kun to defeat Ranma? What are you getting from all this? Cologne smiled mischievously. Cologne: Is quite easy. Ryoga doesn't know it, but if he defeats Ranma, then Ranma would have to renounce to Akane. And so, there wont be any obstacles for Shampoo to marry him. Ranko: So that's it! You are just using Ryoga-kun for your selfish purposes! I'm going to tell him! Ranko walked towards Ryoga's tent. Colone: I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to do that. WHAM! Ranko felt how something hit her on the back of her head, and then everything went black. And so, at the next morning. Ryoga, with Cologne, and Ranma, with Akane and Genma were at a big clear area of the woods. Ryoga: At last Ranma. I have been waiting for a long time the coming of this day. The day that I would defeat you! Ranma didn't answer, he just walked at the center of the clearing, Ryoga did likewise. Akane looked around, looking for Ranko, but she wasn't there. Akane (thinking) : Where's Ranko? Akane decided to go look for her as Ranma and Ryoga were getting ready to fight. Meanwhile, at another part of the woods. Ranko woke up. But she couldn't move. She looked back and saw how her arms were tied to a big boulder, she tried to call for help, but there was a piece of cloth on her mouth, keeping her for talking or screaming. Ranko (thinking) : Oh, no! I have to go and warn Ryoga-kun and Ranma about Cologne's plan! ----------------------------- End of Chapter 44 Lucas Liso (lucasliso@rescueteam.com) Disclaimer: All the characters here belong to Rumiko Takahashi and are used without permission, I don't intend to gain any money from this, so don't sue me.

Ranma 1/2 and Ranko By Lucas Ricardo Liso Chapter 45: -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- The battle between Ranma and Ryoga began with a an attack from Ryoga with his index finger extended. Ranma just dodged to a side. Ranma: Even if you trained with the old ghoul ... WHAM! Ranma kicked Ryog on the side with all his might. Ranma: You still leave many openings in your defense Ryoga! Ryoga stops his fall with his hands, and leaps towards Ranma again. Ryoga: Ranma, it's time that you shut up, forever! Ryoga hit the ground with his index finger. BOOOM! Akane was half way into the woods when she heard the explosion and turned around, he saw a huge dust cloud covering everything were Ranma and Ryoga were. Akane: Was that ... the BAKUSAI TENKETSU? Akane decided to watch the fight a little longer. Ranma was catching lots of tiny rocks that were flying at him. Ranma: What was that supposed to do? Out of nowhere Ryoga tried to touch Ranma again. But he dodged to a side. Ranma: Can't get me. Ryoga: YARGH! BOOM! Again he touched the ground and again it exploded. Akane: I don't get it ... Ranma has a huge advantage ... every time Ryoga uses the BAKUSAI TENKETSU he gets the worst part of the explosion, but Ranma manages to catch every rock with his hands. Colgne didn't have that point of view tough. Cologne (thinking): Heh heh heh ... if this keeps up Ranma will finally lose. Ranma: If you keep eating dust you wont last much longer. Ryoga: SHUT UP! BLAM! As Ryoga tries to hit Ranma again, Ranma dodges to a side and kicks him on the head with all his might, sending him flying away. Ranma: Take that!! Akane: Did he beat him? CRASH! Ryoga slammed against the floor really hard, not only that but he shook a small hill next to him, and a few rocks fell down on top of him. Ranma: Humf ... now that was easy. Crick ... crick ... Ranma looked down as a small crack on the floor was moving towards him. BOOM! Ranma: Woa! Ranma jumped backwards and landed a few feet away. Ryoga emerged from the explosion like if nothing had happened. Ryoga: You are getting weak Ranma. Ranma: What? Ryoga: That kick didn't hurt a bit. Akane: I knew Ryoga had a high level of endurance. But this is ridiculous. Ranma (thinking): I see ... is because he got hit so many times with that boulder ... it also helped him increase his already hard endurance. Cologne looked at Ranma. Cologne: So, son-in-law, ready to give up. Ranma: Shut up you ghoul! I can beat him! Akane watched from her vantage point. Akane: He only trained his dodging abilities ... can he beat Ryoga with just that? Akane turned around and ran into the woods. Akane: I have to find Ranko before its too late. Back at the fight. Ryoga: AAAHHH!! Ryoga ran towards Ranma, index finger extended. Ranma: This is getting old! Ranma caught Ryoga's finger with one hand. Ryoga: You idiot! Ryoga tried to do the BAKUSAI TENKETSU with his other hand, but Ranma also grabbed it with ease. Ranma: Got you! Ranma, still holding Ryoga, kicked him in the gut lots of times in just a few seconds. Ryoga: Your kicks are just ... WHAM! Ryoga did a head butt to Ranma's head. Ryoga: ... like a little baby! Ranma fell back, and rolled over just in time as Ryoga was trying to do the BAKUSAI TENKETSU again. BOOM! Ryoga: You'll never be able to hurt me Ranma! Ranma (thinking): I have no choice ... Ranma: Saotome-ryu secret technique! Ryoga: Huh? Ranma dodged Ryoga's attack, turned around, and ran away at top speed. Ryoga: What ... was ... that? Cologne: He ... just ... ran. Ryoga: Come back and fight you coward! Ryoga ran towards the direction that Ranma took. Cologne: What kind of secret technique is that? Genma: The secret technique of the Saotome-ryu consists on running away, think and counter attack. Cologne: What!? Genma: Well, it IS difficult to do. Meanwhile, at another section of the woods. Ranko was still struggling with her bonds, but she couldn't get loose. The ropes were very tight and she didn't have enough leverage to break them. Ranko: (thinking) I don't have much choice ... this is going to hurt but I can't think of anything else ... Ranko closed her eyes and embraced herself for what was about to happen. Seeing Ryoga train all the time had helped her to learn the BAKUSAI TENKETSU, but she didn't have Ryoga's endurance so she was a little taken aback about using it on a boulder of this size. Using a single finger, she touched the boulder very lightly. BOOOOM! And it blew up in a million pieces. Akane heard the explosion, and since it didn't come from the duel point, she decided to go check it out. Ranko felt how her body had been hit by all of those little rocks, but she knew she had to get up. Slowly but surely she began to stand up and took the gag out of her mouth. Akane: Ranko! Ranko turned around when she heard Akane's voice. Ranko: Akane? Akane: Ranko, here you are ... Ranma is having some major trouble with Ryoga. We have to do something. Ranko: I know ... Cologne is using Ryoga-kun to force Ranma into marrying Shampoo! Come on, we have to stop that fight. Akane nodded and the two of them ran towards the duel point. When they reached there, they found it empty. Ranko: Were are they? Akane: I don't know ... they were here just a second ago ... They both turned their heads as they heard sounds of battle from another section of the woods. Ranko: It must be them ... let's go! Akane: Yes. Meanwhile, at another section of the woods. Cologne and Genma were watching how Ranam was bouncing from tree to tree around Ryoga. Ryoga: You can run but you can't hide Ranma! Ranma: Who's hiding! YAAAA!!! Ranma leaped towards Ryoga, fist extended. WHAM! Ranma hits Ryoga in the stomach. Ryoga: That didn't hurt! BLAM! Ryoga hits Ranma sending him flying backwards. Ryoga: Hng! Ryoga holds his stomach as a sharp pain appears there. Ranma: Don't lie Ryoga ... I'm sure you felt that. Cologne: Hmm ... bouncing on the trees didn't affect that punch. Ryoga: Why don't you just stay down!? Ryoga runs towards Ranma again, and again Ranma hits him in the stomach, sending Ryoga flying backwards. Cologne: I see ... It's not one punch ... its many punches at one second ... is the base of the KACHUU TENSHIN AMAGURIKEN ... but on one single spot. (thinking) Good strategy, but it wont work. Ryoga stands up again, like if nothing happened. Ryoga: Come on Ranma ... fight all you want ... but I'll be the winner of this. Ranma (thinking): This guy's a monster! Ranma and Ryoga are about to attack each other, when suddenly a red blur steps in between them. Ranma: Sister? Ryoga: Ranko-chan? Cologne: How did she got here? Akane: I found her. Ranma and Ryoga stop in their tracks as Ranko stands in between them, arms extended. Ranma: What are you doing Ranko? This is a guys fight! Ryoga: Yes, Ranko-chan, get away before you get hurt. Ranko: No! I don't want you two to fight! And I won't let you! Ryoga: Huh? Ranma: Ranko ... Ranko: Ryoga-kun, Cologne has just been using you to force Ranma to marry Shampoo. If you win this then he'll have to renounce to marrying Akane. Ryoga: What!? (turning to look at Cologne) How dare you do that! Cologne: Don't complain Ryoga! You were the one that wanted to defeat Ranma! Ryoga: Maybe, but I don't want to force him to marry anybody! Ranko: Ryoga-kun ... Ryoga stops discussing with Cologne and turns to see Ranko. She seems kind of depressed over something. Ryoga: Ranko-chan? What's wrong? Ranko: This. (She gestures at the destruction that Ranma and Ryoga caused with their fight, and at the two of them fighting) This is nonsense ... Ryoga-kun, nothing that you do to Ranma will cure you, or him, or me from our Jusenkyo curses. Just let it go Ryoga, why do you keep fighting Ranma? Ryoga: Why? Because you are always saying that he's too strong for me. That's why. Ranma: What's wrong with that, she's just saying the thru ... Oof! Ranko hits Ranmain the gut. Ranko: Shut up brother! Then she turns to look at Ryoga again. Ranko: I only said that because I don't want you to get hurt ... and I don't want you and my brother to keep having this mindless fights. If you want to do this for training that's fine ... but don't fight over silly things. Ryoga: Ranko-chan ... Ranko: Please! Ranko begins to cry lightly. Ryoga smiles and hugs her. Ryoga: Okay Ranko-chan ... I wont fight anymore. Cologne takes the chance to escape while no one is looking at her. And no one notices before it's too late. Akane: Hey! She's getting away! Cologne: Good bye son-in-law! Ranma: Dams that ghoul! How dare she teach a technique as dangerous as that to someone like Ryoga! Ryoga: Hey! What do you mean by that! Before anything happens, Ranko walks towards Ranma and pokes him in the forehead. Ranko: You mean this BAKUSAI TENKETSU brother? Akane: Huh? Nothing happened? Ryoga: But why? Ranko: I noticed that Cologne only trained Ryoga using boulders, she never used something that was alive, like a tree or a small animal. So I figured that it only worked on boulders and rocks. Akane: Oh, I see. Ranma is shaking on the floor. Ranko: Hey Ranma ... did you hear me? I said that it was harmless on living things. Did you hear me Ranma? Ranma? ************************** End of Chapter 45 Guide of who knows what: As you can see, some characters are learning different techniques as the real Ranma universe. KACHUU TENSHIN AMAGURIKEN (or Chestnut fist): In this universe Ranma and Ryoga know how to do this. But because Ranma is faster than Ryoga, Ranma is better at it. BAKUSAI TENKETSU: Ryoga and Ranko know this one. But Ranko doesn't have Ryoga's endurance so she has to use it on smaller rocks.
