Ryoga 1/2 part 2
Meet Ryoga.

	"Leggo ya old fool! Put us down you freak!" yelled the voice from the front
of the Tendo home. 
	"OOh it must be Ranma!" cried Nabiki as she stood and ran towards the door
followed by Soun and Kasumi.
	"Saotome my old friend I've been waiting!" cried Soun.
	Akane stood after several moments of silence and walked to the front door.
Her father was hugging a confused looking boy with a pigtail and a very large
pack with a bamboo umbrella sticking from his back. He had a bandanna across
his head and looked very unhappy. "What are you doing?" he cried.
	"You are Ranma aren't you?" asked Nabiki from beside them. Soun stopped and
looked at the boy.
	"Sort of." said Ranma.
	"What do you mean sort of?" said Soun with a suspicious gaze.
	"Yes I am." said Ranma.
	Nabiki narrowed her eyes at him as Soun dragged him into the home. The large
panda followed and the girls gave it a wide passage. "I could have sworn Ranma
was growling at something when he said that." said Nabiki as she walked by
Akane.
	"Well now I suppose we had better wait for your father to arrive before we
decide who your going to marry." said Soun with a grin as they sat around the
table. 
	"I'm not marrying anybody!" cried Ranma loudly.
	"Calm down or we'll never get out of this Ryoga." he muttered quietly under
his breath. Nabiki showed no signs of having heard this.
	"Well, we'll talk about this when your father arrives." said Soun flatly.
"Get to know my daughters while you wait. I'm sure you'll change your mind."
and with that Soun stood and walked out of the room.
	Ranma turned to see the girls staring at him. "What? This isn't my fault!" he
cried. He looked at Akane as she glared at him and backed up against the wall.
"Great, now look what you've gotten us into Saotome." he muttered quietly.
	"I think you and I should talk in private." said Nabiki giving Ranma a cold
glare and dragging him off alone. Akane looked alarmed at this but stayed when
Kasumi placed a hand on her shoulder.
	
	Out behind the dojo Nabiki stopped and stared at Ranma with the same cold
gaze. "Who are you really and why are you doing this Ryoga." she said.
	"Ak, she knows!" said Ranma in a panicked voice but his face remained calm.
"Well it seems your on to me I am..." started Ranma. 
	Genma turned the corner and smiled. "Well Ranma it seems you are getting on
well with...Nabiki?" he said. Nabiki nodded and looked at Ranma coolly. 
	"Actually she was telling us what a bad Idea this was..." started Ranma.
	"Yes I was telling him that I'm really glad that he has taken such a liking
to my sister, Akane. She has never had a boyfriend before now." said Nabiki
with a smirk.
	"Really?" said Genma with obvious suprise. Ranma stared at Nabiki in
disbelief. "Ah well come along so we can be properly introduced."
	Ranma stared at Nabiki in disbelief until Genma began to drag him away. "I'll
get you for this! No one does this to Ryo-mmmffff" he was cut off as Genma put
a hand over his mouth.
	
	At the table Nabiki leaned close to Akane as Genma sat patiently for every
one to calm. "He isn't who he says he is, His names Ryoga. Thats all I know
for sure now." she said to her sister. "We find out what's going on later,
I'll arrange a little match in a moment. You can help me beat it out of him,
He could be posing as Ranma to get to you." said Nabiki.
	Genma decided to speak at exactly the wrong time. "So Akane I understand
Ranma has taken quite a liking to you." he said smiling dumbly.
	Akane stood and grabbed him by the shirt. "We have been introduced. You all
stay here, Ranma and I need to talk." she seethed. She glanced at Nabiki who
smiled and nodded at her sister. Soon she would no doubt know every thing she
needed to know about this Ryoga.

	Akane slammed Ranma into the dojo with a rough throw. "I know you aren't who
you say you are, now tell me who you are. Are you from the Karate club? maybe
the Kendo club." she seethed as he stood Shakily.
	"Ranma she's going to kill us." said Ranma.
	"Who are you talking too?" growled Akane.
	"You don't get it do you, If you had waited for an explanation like every one
else you would know who I really am you uncute tomboy!" said Ranma angrily. 
	Akane charged and swung at Ranma screaming "I'll make you talk then!" 
	Ranma flipped over her head and grabbed her shoulders. "I don't fight girls
so you might as well stop. Ryoga might not be so kind as me." he said as he
poked her head.
	Akane froze in fear and wonder. "How dare you say things like that about me
Ranma!" said Ranma suddenly stopping.
	"Shut up!" he countered at himself. "I was just trying to scare her!"
	Akane turned and a slow realization hit her. "Who are you?" she asked him in
a shaky voice.
	"I am Ranma Saotome, and Ryoga Hibiki." said Ranma bowing to her.
	"You didn't have to do that you jerk." said Ranma to himself as he stood up
straight stiffly.
	"I was only being polite." grumbled Ranma.
	Akane stared at him for a moment and her features softened. "I've heard about
people like him, I suppose its not his fault he's crazy." she thought.
	"I know what your thinking Akane and we are not crazy. Its a bit more
complicated than that." said Ranma as he exited the Dojo. "I suppose Pop has
explained to your family by now."
	Ranma walked into the room and Akane followed looking a bit bewildered.
Nabiki ran up to him and shoved a glass of water in his face emptying it on
him with wide eyes. Akane was about to yell at her when Ranma spoke up. "Sorry
Nabiki this is my cursed form." he said to her.
	"I'll say." said Ranma.
	"Hey that isn't funny you jerk!" retorted Ranma.
	"What are you gonna do? Hit me? Go ahead it won't make this face look any
worse." sneered Ranma.
	"These are my sons. Ryoga and Ranma." said Genma pointing at the boy as he
argued with himself.
	"I'm not your son!" cried Ranma as he glared at Genma.
	"Sorry Ryoga kun I'm just trying to keep it simple." said Genma. "At any rate
it has been decided that the two of you will marry Akane." said Genma with a
smile. He stood and walked over to where Soun had set up a shogi board and
began playing as Ranma and Akane stared at him in disbelief.
	"How dare you old man! You have no right to do this to me!" cried Ranma.
	"Yea Pops you can't make Ryoga marry some tomboy!" said Ranma bitterly.
	"I'm sorry son it has been decided, You have to marry Akane. Their is no way
around it." said Soun. 
	"I am leaving!" said Ranma and he turned to leave only to get clobbered by
Akane as she slammed the table over his collective head.
	"Who is a Tomboy?!" she cried bitterly.
	"You know Akane, only one of them called you that." said Nabiki as she
stuffed a rice cracker in her mouth.
	"Nabiki is right, she told us about how well you were getting along with
them. Why I even saw you two sparring in the dojo." said Soun.
	Nabiki nearly choked on her rice cracker as she got up and nervously backed
away from her sister. "Um, Akane I just..."she stammered as Akane's battle
aura began to glow.
	"NA-BI-KI!!" she cried and chased her sister out of the house.
