Takahashi. Gold Digger belongs to Fred Perry. Sueing me would be pretty
useless.
Part 7
Ranma, Monique, Yuka, and Akane were still standing in the hall.
Ranma
found it rather odd the way Akane was glaring at him. The way he saw it,
it
was the Tendo girl's own fault that she didn't get to class on time.
"Umm Yuka, what was fight about?" Monique asked Yuka.
"It's all Kuno's fault!" Monique jumped back as Akane yelled out.
Yuka
then turned towards the dark skinned girl.
"You see, last summer Kuno made this speech. He said that anyone who
wanted to date Akane would have to defeat her in combat. Since then all
the
perverts in school have been attacking her every morning."
"I see." Said Ranma, looking thoughtful. "And the school tolerates
this?"
"Well Kuno is the principal's son."
Monique blanched. "I hope he not try that with me."
"I wouldn't worry." Said Akane, her face somewhat softened. "The
challenge was to date me. He doesn't seem to like you, so he probably
won't
want you dating here."
Monique was about to speak again when the school speaker system came
on.
[(Sccceeeechh!) Now here this! I, Takiwaki Kuno, here by declare
that if
anyone wishes to date the fare Akane Tendo. They must first rid our
noble
school of the kokujin Monique Pincer! So I command!]
Monique paled as she thought of all those boys attacking her. She
then
heard Ranma growling. Looking at him she could see he was shaking. He
then
started to walk away.
"Hey! Where are you going?" yelled Akane. She couldn't believe this
guy.
Kuno makes one little threat and he was running away?
"I'm going to make an announcement." Ranma said in a cold tone.
Monique
could only hope he didn't do something too rash.
Nabiki looked at Kuno as he sat back down at his desk. "That's
pretty low
Kuno, even for you."
"Ha! As if I have to justify my actions to you." Said a smug looking
Kuno. He was sure that by tomorrow the foreign witch and her guard would
be
gone. There was no way the cowardly cow would face the might of Furinken
High, let alone his awesome power.
Nabiki just shook her head; she couldn't help but think that Kuno
had
gone too far. Threatening her gung ho martial arts sister was one thing.
Threatening a girl who probably didn't know how to defend herself was
quite
another. She then heard the school intercom system come on yet again.
[Now hear this. I am Ranma Diggers. For those of those who don't
know,
I'm Monique's boyfriend. And now you're all going to listen to this
announcement! If any of you primates even think of touching her, I'll
feed
you your ass. And if you don't think I can then I'll gladly meet Kuno on
the
soccer field after school. That is of course unless Mr. Kuno is a
COWARD!
Which he is, since he has others do his own dirty work! You hear me
Kuno? I'm
calling you out! You got the balls to face me or are you going to use
someone
else's]
Nabiki ducked, to avoid the steam coming out of Blue Blunder's ears.
{Hmmm, not bad. He's been here less than half a day and he's already
pushing
Kuno's buttons.}
"AARRRRGH! I will be there! And I will be ready to do battle and end
that
cretin's life!" screamed Kuno.
{Yep, and I'll be there too. Making a fortune!} Thought Nabiki. She
could
just see the yen coming in.
Noon...
"I can't believe your boyfriend's going to fight Kuno." Said Shori.
She
had decided to join Yuka and Monique for lunch.
"Yes, this is what Ranma do." Said Monique. "He always likes to be
hero."
"Well he better watch himself. Kuno's the second best in the school
and
he's really good when he's angry." Akane warned, though a part of her
wanted
to see Ranma get pounded. How dare he suggest that she wasn't the best
martial artist and that Kuno was holding back?
"Well Ranma very good too, he also very smart. He win." {After all
he
does practice with a werecheetah.}
"So Monique, what's Ranma like?" asked yet another girl.
"Yeah, tell us."
"Yeah and how can you stand that perverted curse."
Monique looked over to Akane who had asked the last question. When
Ranma
came back from the office he had shown the whole class the curse. He
felt it
would be better if he got it out of the way early on. He had gotten
quite a
few lecherous looks from some of the male students, but he maintained
that
despite his appearance, he was STILL a male, and warned them not to get
any
funny ideas. As for Akane, she thought it was just further proof that he
was
a pervert, even more so then the band of Hentai.
The dark-skinned girl shrugged as she described her boyfriend. "Umm
well
he nice and very brave. I first meet him when I was being robbed. He
came out
of nowhere and beat robbers up."
"Really, cool! So you and him have been dating a long time?"
"Oh, only short time. It hard with Gina and Penny."
"Who're Penny and Gina?" Asked Nabiki, joining the group's
conversation.
"Gina is Ranma's sister, Penny my cousin. They no like each other."
"Wow! Just like Romeo and Juliet." Said Yuka with a sigh.
"I hope not, no want Romeo and Juliet end." Replied Monique.
"So why do they hate each other?"
"They rival treasure hunters."
Nabiki raised an eyebrow. "Really."
"Yes, they travel world in search of treasure and archeological
finds.
Ranma even works with Gina."
"Interesting... So do they ever bring anything back?" Monique nodded
and
pulled something from her shirt.
"Ranma give this to me after trip to Congo. Said he fight many big
grey
apes for it."
"A dirty piece of quartz?" Akane snorted. Nabiki, who knew what it
really
was, looked at the uncut diamond with wide yen-pupiled eyes.
"Well it small one." Said Monique slightly embarrassed. Nabiki
nearly
choked. That diamond was the size of a cockroach and she said it was one
of
the small ones!?
"H-How big were the big ones."
"Penny go to same mine. Bring back one size of softball."
"S-Softballs?" asked Nabiki as her mouth nearly dropped to the
floor.
Monique nodded her head. The middle Tendo sister quickly thought about
that
and decided that she would have to work slowly. Ranma and Monique were
both
too valuable to make a quick profit off of. They were also much smarter
than
Kuno, so she decided it best if she stayed on their good side.
After school...
Monique blinked, as she looked at all the people gathered at the
soccer
field. It was almost like Monday Night Fights. She then noticed Nabiki
and a
few other girls surrounded by a noticeable crowd. Walking up, Monique
decided
to find out what was going on. She stopped however, at seeing the glares
from
several of the boys. Monique started to back away.
"Hey Monique." Said Nabiki, as she made her way through the boys,
glaring
at the ones that didn't move fast enough. Although some of the boys
grumbled,
most quickly got out of Nabiki's way.
"Umm hello, what going on?" Penny's cousin asked as she looked back
at
the boys.
Nabiki smirked. "Oh that's just the Akane Tendo fan club. Don't
worry
they're just a bunch of bakas, just like Kuno."
"Oh, so what you do?"
"I'm taking bets on the fight between Ranma and the Blue Blunder."
Monique stared at Nabiki. "Taking bets?"
Nabiki looked at the dark skinned girl for a moment then continued.
"Yeah. You'll find out I'm involved with lots of stuff. I run betting
pools,
loans, information services."
"You do all that?" Nabiki nodded "Why?"
Nabiki frowned. "I have my reasons. So, who do you think is going to
win?"
Monique was caught off guard by the sudden question. "Oh umm Ranma."
"Really? So what style does Ranma use?"
"Don't know style. Just know he very good."
Akane's sister nodded. If what she had seen that morning was any
indication... "So is Ranma's father a powerful martial artist?"
Monique shook her head. "No. I no think so."
"Then who taught Ranma how to fight?"
"Ranma's stepmother."
Nabiki blinked. "He was trained by his mother?"
Monique nodded. "Yes, I no meet her, but Ranma say she strong
fighter. He
also practices with sister Britanny. I have met her, she very strong
fighter."
{Must have been that girl I saw this morning.} Nabiki thought. She
then
made a mental note not to allow Akane to challenge Ranma to an all out
fight.
If his mother and sister trained him, then he wasn't likely to hold back
on
her sister like the other boys. Still a friendly sparring match might
put
Akane in her place. She had gotten very arrogant at all of her
victories, and
she really needed a lesson in humility.
It was at this time that the combatants entered the field. Ranma
walked
towards the center calmly with his hands in his pockets. On the opposite
end
entered Kuno, dressed in his kendo uniform and carrying his bokken. He
walked
with all the arrogance of a man who knew he was a higher life form. The
two
stopped just ten feet apart.
"So you dare to challenge the might of Kuno. Know that when I defeat
you
I shall remove that kokujin from our noble school and claim my pig
tailed
goddess, as well as the fair tigress Akane Tendo!"
Ranma blinked. "Your what?"
"Do not try to lie to me Diggers! I know that you and that witch
have a
young maiden under your power. I have seen her myself. She is a
beautiful
vision with fiery red hair who is only worthy of the Kuno loin."
As Kuno ranted, adding points to his Darwin award nomination, Nabiki
noticed her sister looking at her. "Don't look at me. He came up with
that
all by himself."
Ranma, for his part, was shaking mad. {Worthy of his loin? GROSS!
You're
going down stick boy. And the harder the better!}
"Now you will face defeat under my mighty blade. Have at thee!!" And
Ranma did, starting one of the most one-sided fights Nabiki had ever
seen.
The crowd could only wince as Ranma invented new ways to put a human
being
into unbearable pain. Several observers remarked at the ways that Julia
Digger's adopted son took Kuno apart.
WHAP!
"Ow, that's got to smart!"
CRACK!
"Yow, that's inhuman!"
CRUNCH!
"I hope that heals soon!"
"GRIND!
"I didn't know that joint could bend that way."
MANGLE!
"I don't think it was supposed to."
KA-POW!
"Oh boy! That'll leave a mark!"
WHAM!
"That'll leave an even BIGGER mark!"
CRASH!
"Wow. I've never seen anyone do THAT before."
THOOM!
"Ooh, nasty!"
"KA-POWIE!
"Wonder where Diggers learned to do that?"
WHOMP!
"That's GOT to be illegal!"
"Hey look! Diggers got a hold of Kuno's bokken!"
"Oh come on now! There's NO WAY it could fit there!"
Kuno then let off an ear-piercing scream.
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!"
"Well, I'll be damned."
"Note to self. NEVER get Ranma Diggers pissed off at me."
A short while later Nabiki was leaving the school a much richer
girl. It
was good that she had taken so many bets for Kuno. With the kendo
fighter now
in the hospital, profits were going to be a little tight for the next
few
days. As Nabiki passed the school gates, she saw Ranma and Monique. "Hey
Ranma, Monique."
Ranma turned to her. "Yes?"
"Hi Nabiki." Said Monique.
"You helped me make a lot of money today. Why don't you come over to
my
house? I'd like to thank you two with dinner."
"I don't know. I don't want to trouble you..."
"It's no trouble."
Ranma looked over to Monique who nodded. "Umm sure, why not."
