Part 7 : The big match.
----------------------------------------------------------
Ranma looked across the field at Ryoga and both combatants smiled
confidently. The crowd around them was small, after all it was just some
new kid not Kuno. �Prepare yourself!!� yelled Ryoga as he charged Ranma
with his bamboo umbrella drawn. Ranma smirked.
�Here we go...�he thought. The few students in attendance would
remember this day for a long time to come.
Ranma easily dodged around Ryoga�s attacks and looked for an
opening, he could easily defeat the lost boy, but he didn�t want to
humiliate him, he needed him. Ryoga swung faster and harder frustrated
with his efforts �Hold still damn you!!� he yelled as he wrapped one of
his bandannas around Ranma�s wrist.
Ranma frowned �Even with the �Breaking Point� training I might
not be able to take many of his punches.� thought Ranma.
�Got you!!� yelled Ryoga as he put his arm through Ranma�s head.
�Through?!!� Thought Ryoga as he was forced to his knees. Ranma had moved
with lightening speed, he rolled between Ryoga's legs pulling his arm
between them in a hold. Ryoga grunted �pretty good...but not good
enough!!� he yelled as he jumped twenty feet into the air using his one
free arm. The crowd gasped, as Ranma dodged Ryoga�s mid air kick and hit
him with his own knocking the lost boy to the ground. Ryoga got up and
slashed at Ranma as he landed ripping his shirt. Ranma ignored him and
pressed his attack. Ryoga blocked and swung with his umbrella but was
forced back. Ryoga jumped back and threw the open umbrella at Ranma like
a boomerang. It went by Ranma�s head and carved a deep gouge into the
ground and the crowd behind him.
�With out your weapon your mine Ryoga.� said Ranma smugly.
�Think so?� laughed Ryoga as he took a fair amount of bandannas
from his head, and flung them at Ranma. The two dodged and weaved between
them trading blows and avoiding the razor sharp projectiles.
Akane watched mesmerized as Ranma and Ryoga danced among the
dangerous spinning bandannas. �Wow he�s ...� she said aloud and her
friends smiled at her behind her back.
�Wow, she�s got it bad.�said one.
�Its about time.�said the other. Akane couldn�t even hear them.
Suddenly Ranma saw several bandannas spinning towards him.
�Damn, Mouko Takabishi!� he said as he used a small Ki blast to
knock them out of the air. The crowd fell deathly silent, Ryoga stopped
dead in his tracks and staired at Ranma wide, eyed the bandannas he was
spinning in his hands spun out of control and went in every direction.
�Huh?� he said dumbly. �Ranma what the hell was that?� he asked.
�Just a little Ki blast.� said Ranma �They haven�t seen one
before now?� he asked himself.
�Little!!???� asked Ryoga shocked.
�Yea litt- Akane!!!�yelled Ranma as he saw one of the bandannas
spinning toward her head from behind.
Ranma called out her name and ran towards Akane �Huh? What the
he--� said Akane dumbly as Ranma tackled her to the ground. �What did
you do that for you jerk?!!� yelled Akane as she hit Ranma on the head.
Ranma looked up apologetically �Too late.�he said, as she saw
something hit the ground behind him.
�That wasn�t--�she thought as Ranma picked her up and carried her
off before the students collected their wits and decided to find out
what happened.
Ranma landed in a quiet area near the school and put Akane down.
�What do you think your doing??!!�she yelled at him angrily.
Ranma looked at her head carefully and sighed looking relieved.
�no, cuts thats good.� he thought. Akane was pissed. She swung and beat
on him and he didn�t seem to notice. �Are you OK? Your not hurt are you?�
he asked her.
�What why?!! Take me back now you jerk!!�she yelled and then
stopped. �Hurt? why?� she asked. He looked away and handed something to
her.
�Sorry Akane I figured you wouldn�t want anyone to see.
�What? what are you talki--Oh no.�she said aloud, as she felt
what was in her hands. �My hair.� she said quietly as she felt the back
of her neck and found only skin.
Ranma jumped on to the roof and waited, �You OK?� he asked after
a while. He seemed to be looking for someone.
Akane calmly looked up at him. �What are you doing?� she asked
timidly.
�Looking for Ryoga, he probly� feels bad and he�ll come looking
for us.� he said. Just then Ryoga came from behind Akane.
�There you are!! Are you OK miss?!!� asked Ryoga with a worried
look. Akane looked at him oddly. Ranma smiled and landed next to him he
had intentionally went in the opposite direction than the one he
originally started to go after he was out of sight of the school so Ryoga
could find them.
�She isn�t cut but her hair...� Ryoga seemed to just notice this
and began to apologize... allot.
�I�m sorry I really am please forgive me!!� he said almost
sobbing.
�I think short hair will look really good on her.�offered Ranma.
Akane didn�t know what to make of the situation she should be mad but
Ranma was nice enough to save her a great deal of embarrassment by
getting her away from the school. And this poor Ryoga fellow seemed to be
sorry,... too sorry, and so another beating was averted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part8:Kuno�s big fight
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ranma looked at Akane again as she entered her house �You sure
you don�t want me to help explain things?� he asked.
�No, its OK� she said as she went inside and greeted her sister.
�Oh, hello Akane. your home! who was that nice young man? A boy
friend?� asked Kasumi.
�NO! I mean... He�s just a friend....(Isn�t he?).� said Akane
defensively.
�Well you should invite him in I�d love to meet your boy friend,
father will be so pleased.� said Kasumi happily ignoring her. then she
turned to see her. �YOUR HAIR!!� she cried.
Ranma walked towards the Saotome home and whistled to himself.
Kuno stood before him looking angry. �What have you done with Akane Tendo
kur?�he asked gritting his teeth.
�Hiya Kuno, our fight is tomorrow.�reminded Ranma ignoring the
question.
�Tell me or..� started Kuno.
�Or you�ll what?� said Ranma coolly. Kuno pulled out his sword
and glared at Ranma. Ranma�s eyes narrowed and he looked at Kuno hard.
Kuno had a sword, not his bokken.
Ranma surveyed the situation carefully. �She had an accident and
I took her home.� he said cautiously.
�You have hurt my love??!!� he roared. Ranma knew he was now
beyond words. Kuno swung at Ranma who ducked to avoid the blade and
removed his bag and took up a defensive stance. he looked cautiously at
the sword and saw a glowing spot on it. �No he�s far to fast with that
for me to risk the Bakusai tenketsu.� he thought.
Kuno bellowed and thrust at Ranma �STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE...!� He
yelled as his blade became a flurry of motion. Ranma dogged and took a
few hits in the arms and chest. Nothing major but enough to figure out
that Kuno�s sword was lighter than a bokken and he could move it faster.
�Die kur!� Yelled Kuno.
Ranma faced Kuno and ducked under the blade. �KATSU TENSHIN
AMAGURIKEN!� he yelled as he hit Kuno hundreds of times easily breaking
several ribs. Kuno collapsed in a heap. Ranma swore �I�ve changed things
I can�t be sure whats going to happen any more.� he thought. After that
he became obsessed with improving his skills practicing every morning,
pushing the Chestnut fist just a little faster, just a little stronger
with his Ki a little more control over the Breaking point. He even
stopped practicing with his father, Genma was suprisingly easy to
convince.
�He gets up an extra hour early and I�m getting to old to get up
as early besides I can practice with Soun.� he said proudly. Never
mentioning that Ranma was now winning every practice match. �Speaking of
which...I�d really like you to meet...� Genma started.
�Can�t, I'm busy� said Ranma simply.
One day Akane didn�t come to school. �Where�s Akane?� he asked
one of her friends.
�Don�t know.� she replied. Ranma went over to her home with
papers from school. He knocked on the door.
�Hello can I help you?� asked Kasumi as she answered the door.
�I brought Akanes homework. Is she OK?� asked Ranma.
�Oh yes, she�s fine. She just wasn�t feeling well.� Akane came
down the stairs.
�Who is it Kasumi?�she asked
�Its just your little boyfriend with your homework.� said Kasumi
cheerfully. Ranma laughed a little. As Akane turned red and Denied it
loudly.
�Here you go Akane. You OK?� he asked.
�Yea I just couldn�t bear hearing every one tell me how
chivalrous you were the other day, I mean that was a month ago, It wasn�t
*that* romantic... sorry about Kuno.�she said quietly.
�Not your fault, your hair looks really good that way.� smiled
Ranma.
�Quit telling me that.� she said not meaning it, any other guy
would stare at her chest and say that, and get knocked into the
stratosphere. Ranma smiled at this.
�Well, Ryoga came back into town and he and I are gonna get
together later wanna come?� He asked.
�Sure. Where we going?� she asked.
�Ryoga�s coming.� replied Ranma
�Oh.�said Akane smiling.
�You should do that more often.�said Ranma as he walked toward
where Ryoga was camped with Akane.
�What?�she asked.
�Smile, your cute when you smile.� he said. Akane stopped and
laughed a little.
�I�m too cute as it is.� she said a little bitterly.
�Believe it or not I know what you mean.�said Ranma Quietly.
Akane smiled, he didn�t think she�d heard him. �Lets go before he tries
to come find us.� said Ranma composing himself Quickly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
part9:Hearts of ice.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ranma glided somewhat gracefully across the ice, well not
gracefully and not glided he clumsily stood. �You two could have told me
you couldn�t skate.� said Akane giggling a little.
�Now�s as good a time to learn as any.�said Ryoga from the floor.
�Where is Ranma?� asked Akane as a Ranma-chan picked herself off
the ice.
�Great.� said Ranma.
�The ice is wet, genius� said Ryoga to her.
�Oh, shut up Ryoga.�said Ranma bitterly as Ryoga laughed at her.
�Hi, you two know each other? I�m Akane.�said Akane assessing the
new girl.
Ryoga stood and staired at the two. �She doesn�t know??!! I�m
sorry! I didn�t ...� Whispered Ryoga.
�Doesn�t know what?�said Akane cheerfully.
�Akane this is Ranma�s uh, sister yea, thats it.� said Ryoga
unconvincingly.
�So, your Ranma�s Girlfriend then?� asked Akane quietly.
�No I�m not, and thanks for trying to cover for me Ryoga but
she�ll find out sooner or later.� said Ranma. �Can we go some where and
talk?�
Ranma , Ryoga and Akane sat in a secluded corner of the ring's
rest area. Akane watched the new girl carefully and she didn�t seem to
want to fight. �Whats this about? You really Ranma�s sister or
something?� she asked. The girl pulled a thermos out just like the one
Ranma always carried, exactly like it and her clothes...
�Its better to see..�said Ranma. She poured the contents on her
head.
�Hey, your hair changed color...�said Akane.
Then a familiar voice said �Notice any thing else different?�
Akane backed into the wall. Ryoga quietly plugged his ears.
�Ranma?�she said quietly.
�Thats right. you�ve found my dirty little secret.� he said
solemnly. �How she gonna take this?�he wondered.
�Your a girl?�she asked.
�NO.� said Ranma. �It all started a few months ago...�
Akane looked at Ranma sadly. �Now I know why you didn�t want to
go to the pool the other day...�she said as a smile crept on her face
"Not than we would have been doing much swimming anyway." she thought a
little bitterly.
�Its not fun. I have to deal with female �problems�. I hate
it.�said Ranma bitterly. Akane tried hardest not to laugh, but Ryoga had
no such inhibitions.
�Y-you d-d-do?!!�laughed Ryoga. Ranma nodded solemnly, he
wondered why he had told them that. �Well I guess if we�re gonna stay I
might as well change back to a girl now that you know about it.� he said.
A few hours later, Ranma sat on the floor of the Tendo dojo.
Ranma winced at the disinfectant Akane applied to the bridge of his nose.
�You didn�t have to go that far. It was just a kiss.� she said sadly she
knew who her first kiss *had* to be with only a few months ago but had
finally gotten over him a few weeks ago, she also knew what a big deal
this was, but he needed to be comforted.
�He gave me the tounge Akane.�said Ranma coldly.
�Then you did a good job.�she corrected, she remembered the mess
he made of Mikado, �I guess he deserved it after all.� she commented as
she put a bandage on the only blow Mikado�s �dance of death had been able
to land on Ranma, Unfortunately it was a kick and the boy had been
wearing skates. �You really left your self open...�said Akane.
Ranma smiled and tapped her shoulder, and then he swept her into
his lap with his arm �Who are you to talk?� he asked. Akane scrambled
away. �Relax its not like I was gonna kiss you or nothing.�said Ranma
trying to look embarrassed. �I remember this part.� he thought happily.
�You wouldn�t have the guts to do that anyway� said Akane
flushed.
�Keep talking like that and I might.� he retorted.
�Go ahead then.� She said to him defiantly scrunching up her face in a
child like pucker. Ranma tried his hardest not to laugh. �Well? I knew
you couldn--� That was all the opening the �new� Ranma needed.
Akane was about to say more when something warm hit her lips.
�Huh?� she thought as she realized what was happening. She was expecting
a peck or a kiss on the cheek or something, but not this. This was not
some little girl dare kiss but a full blown passionate kiss. She started
to regain her senses. She wasn�t quite sure what to do, she had told him
to do it so hitting him was pretty much out of the question. so....
Ranma felt a strange sensation in his mouth. �What?� he thought.
�Oh, tounge....TOUNGE?!!� then some thing else registered in his mind.
�Cheering?!!�
Nabiki Tendo Cheered and laughed at her sister. �Way to go sis!
Woo Hoo!� Akane blushed. �Its about time you had a boy friend little
sister.� said Nabiki with a sly smile.
�It was just a dare!�said Akane defensively. Ranma got up and
started towards the door with a neutral look on his face. �OK!OK! so it
wasn�t, but I still...� she said frantically grabbing Ranma to keep him
from being upset.
Ranma smiled at her �Thats good to here but now I have to buy you
dinner sometime.� he said dryly with a stupid looking grin. �But, we
don�t have to be dating or anything.�he added. Akane sighed and looked a
little relieved. �I�d better get going, its late.�he said as he walked
away �see you tomorrow Akane.�
Nabiki smiled at her sister, �Whether you want to admit it or not
he�s your boyfriend now he knows it and you know it.� she said smugly.
�Nabiki!� said Akane turning red.
Nabiki looked seriously at her sister, �don�t screw this up.�she
warned you aren�t the type who falls in love more that a few times. Akane
was at a loss for words.
Ranma was stopped by Soun in the hall �son can I speak with you?�
he said calmly.
�Sure Mr. Tendo--urk!!� Soun roughly grabbed the boy around the
neck in an obvious attempt at intimidation. Ranma could tell it was ment
to incapacitate him, but only a little and played along.
�My daughter is engaged to someone son and doesn�t know it yet.�
Soun said happily. �I don�t want to stop you from being friends, but I
love my little girl and I don�t want to see her hurt, so.� he continued
increasing the pressure on Ranma�s neck.
�I�m not stupid Mr.Tendo. You want me to stop seeing Akane.� said
Ranma.
�I�m so glad you understand...� Said Soun relaxing his grip.
�I didn�t say I would.� interrupted Ranma.
�What?� said Soun as his head grew immense and demonic. �Her
fiancee is a very powerful Martial artist and very honorable, he will not
be happy with you when he arrives.�said Soun angrily.
�Sound allot like me.� hinted Ranma.�Good bye Mr. Tendo.�said
Ranma as he calmly ran away, very fast from the huge demonic head. �Man
this is fun.� thought Ranma as he ran towards his home. suddenly the wall
beside him crashed down.
�Ranma I kill!!� said a male voice from the hole. �Huh?�said a
confused Ranma.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
part10:downfall
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ranma was confused as a figure walked out of the hole in the wall
and staired at him from the dust. �Shampoo? no, thats a guy, Moose?�he
wondered aloud.
�You dare compare *ME* to weakling Moose?!! he asked. The dust
cleared and Ranma faced a tall handsome Chinese man with green hair,he
also had a scar running down his face over his left eye which was covered
by an eye patch and a long nasty looking double edged spear.
�Who the hell are you?� Ranma asked the boy.
�You tell! You make! Your fault!�he said as he swung at Ranma
with the spear. Ranma dogged and kicked the man in the chest. the boy
grunted in pain and fell back. �Reiraku kill!� he said as he got up and
swung again at Ranma
�Downfall? what kind of name is that?� Ranma wondered aloud.
�Shampoo not marry bad man!�he said and swung faster as Ranma
dogged effortlessly around him.
�Well I�m not marring Shampoo anyway.�said Ranma. �Shampoo
but...Who the hell??�thought Ranma as he Kicked the boy into the air and
into the drainage ditch . The boy rose from the water looking angry. �No
curse.�noted Ranma. �But whats his story?�he wondered. �Any way we can
talk about why we�re fighting before...�asked Ranma as the boy jumped up
and slashed at him again. �Guess not.� he grumbled as he dogged.
�Reiraku kill you and release Shampoo from evil law.� he said in
a low growl.
�Your right it is an evil law, but isn� t there another way to
get around it besides killing me?� asked Ranma hopefully.
�No.� said Reiraku.
Ranma reached around he boys defenses easily and held his neck
threateningly. �You sure about that?�he asked. �I�m willing to help in
any way I can.�he said cheerfully.
�Why?� asked the boy with a suspicious look.
�Because I don�t want to marry Shampoo.� said Ranma.
�You lie!! every one want marry Shampoo! she beautiful and strong
and skilled!! Before you come!!�Spat Reiraku.
�No I�m in love with someone else.�said Ranma.
�Then why you fight with her?!!� demanded the boy, who was near
tears in his rage.
�To save the life of my father.�said Ranma. The boy relaxed and
Ranma released him.
�What you talking about?� said the boy evenly.
�They had my father in a cage like an animal Cologne told me
that if I didn�t fight they would kill him.� said Ranma.
�You lie it just stupid panda!� growled Reiraku.
�We were cursed at Jusenkyo.�said Ranma looking ashamed. �They
not tell me this...�said Reiraku quietly and lept away.
�Great grandmother, why you not tell me about this?!!�demanded
Reiraku. �Silence! how dare you speak to your elder and better that way!�
spat Cologne.
�Apologies.� said the youth placidly.
�Better, and simply because it does not matter.� said Cologne.
�This is not honorable. My honored sister...� started the boy.
�Has no say in this matter boy as you well know. Now go practice
with Mousse you�ll need all your skills to defeat your opponent. he will
join our Tribe or die.�said Cologne coldly.
�As you wish.� said Reiraku unhappily.
Mousse looked at his student with a mixture of pity and
happiness. �Shall we continue where we left off?�he said closing the
ancient looking book he was reading. �We will restore your true name and
return Shampoo�s honor my friend.� said Moose to his friend.
�Perhaps Shampoo feel different about you when this over.�smiled
Reiraku to himself. <I�m tired of speaking Japanese its hard.> he
grumbled.
Mousse hit him on the head �You�ll never get any better if you
don�t practice.�he chided absently as he carefully placed the book away.
�Reiraku looked wide eyed at the book �Is that?!!� he asked.
�Yes, the darkest secret of my family. To be used only if he
proves to much for even you.� he said quietly. Reiraku looked at Moose
with new respect and humility. He had scoffed when he was told he would
become his student, the villagers considered him weak always loseing when
he challenged Shampoo, but Reiraku had quickly learned differently. He
could easily defeat his sister, but could not bring himself to hurt her.
He had quickly learned a new respect for him, although he�d never admit
it to any one.
From the rafters above Ranma silently crept out of the top floor
window of what would soon be the �Cat Cafe� So Moose is here,and Shampoo
has a brother, but where is Shampoo?� he wondered to himself. He quickly
moved to the side out of the way of Cologne's staff as she tried to
suprise him.
�Hello Cologne.� he said calmly without turning.
�You suprise me son in law, did you learn what you wanted?� she
asked.
�I learned enough, do me a favor and never try to use the �cat
tounge� shiatsu on me again will ya?� he said as he lept away.
�Why, your just full of suprises son in law.�said Cologne to
herself as she watched him head towards his home. �I�ll have to be much
more cautious.�
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 11: the wild Moose
------------------------------------------------------------
Ranma ran down the field and kicked the soccer ball towards his
team mate and ran down field. He smiled as the goalie cowered before him.
then he felt something in the air behind him. �Right on schedule.� he
thought as he turned to face Cologne. �Hello goul.� said Ranma.
�Well son in law how are you doing today?� she cackled. Ranma
grit his teeth.
�Fine until you showed up.� he said humorlessly.
�Well, thats no way to talk to your elders boy.� she scolded with
a shriveled smile.
�What do you want?� he asked impatiently.
�Just to see how your health is holding up.� she said.
Ranma looked at her �I�m fine.� he said cautiously.
�But how long will it last? Marrying Shampoo is the only way to
stop Reiraku now.� she grinned.
�Or, I could just kill you.� said Ranma with an unpleasant look
on his face.
�Big words for one so young, but even that would not stop him I�m
afraid.� said Cologne as she lept away.
Ranma kicked a large lawn maintenance tool at her as she lept
away. �Any time now...� he said to himself, but Moose never came. �What?�
said Ranma as the tool hit the ground seventy feet away. �Great another
anomaly.� he muttered. �When will Moose show up?� suddenly he heard a
shrill voice that made him wince.
�Airen!!�
Ranma turned and was tackled by a familiar looking girl.
�Hello Shampoo.� he said dryly.
�You I love!�she said happily.
�Something is different.�he said mentally. then it hit him. �Her
hair.� Shampoo had her hair cut Rather like Nabiki�s but a little longer
and her thick bangs covered most of her face, the color seemed a bit
darker as well. �I can�t let this happen.� Ranma thought as he roughly
pulled Shampoo off him. �Don�t touch me.� he said firmly.
�What?!!�said Shampoo with a blank stare.
�You�ve threatened my family, sent some idiot maniac to kill me
and I�m sure Moose will probably join him soon enough. So what in the
hell makes you think I�d ever even look at you much less marry you?!!!�
he said angrily.
Shampoo looked at him for a moment and ran off with a neutral
look on her face.
�How he know about Moose?�she wondered not at all upset about his
words.
Moose looked in horror at the way Shampoo had been treated by the
barbarian fiancee. He would pay for that with his life. He crept from the
bushes he had been hiding in and lept away into the streets of Nerima.
That night Ranma looked at the sign on the fence �danger guard
dogs keep out� it said. Ranma lept over the gate and looked around. �I
really hate doing this, but I have to know if this will work.� he thought
to himself. He felt sick to his stomach as he looked around for his prey.
�I �really� hate this.� he muttered. He heard a low growling behind him
and turned to face the three Doberman guards. �I�m sorry.� he said to
them and jumped into the angry pack.
The next morning the day time security guard looked in silent
horror at what lay before him. The remains of his dogs lay strewn about
the pavement and stuck to the walls around him. He turned and vomited not
believing what he had seen. his Doberman dogs nothing more than a few red
smears on the pavement around him not even bones could be seen in the
mess. �What could have done this?� he sadly wondered aloud.
Ranma looked out towards the school and sighed heavily. �I wish
there had been another way.�he said quietly.
�Whats wrong Ranma?� asked Akane.
�Huh oh nothing just someone who showed up the other day.� he
said not entirely lying.
�Really who?� asked Akane cheerfully.
�An old enemy from China.� said Ranma.
Akane gasped �Ranma has enemies?� she thought.
�Don�t look so suprised. I�ve done allot I�m not proud of in
order to survive. I had hoped that I could change all that here, but it
seems to have followed me.� he said with a strange look in his eyes.
Behind him Genma ran up and kicked him in the head. �What do you
think your doing boy?� he scolded.
�What the hell?!!� said Ranma.
�How dare you flirt with her when you have a perfectly good
fiancee?!!� he yelled.
�WHAT??!!� said Ranma and Akane in unison.
�Ranma you JERK!! said Akane as she slammed him over the head
with a section of wall. Akane ran off crying.
�Akane wait!!� called Ranma from under the rubble. But Gemma put
a hand on his shoulder.
�Let her go boy its for the best.� he said. �You�ll like this
girl I�m sure.� he smiled at his son as he said this.
Ranma jerked away from his hand �You won�t stop until you
destroyed my life will you?!!� he yelled angrily.
�Look boy..�started Genma.
�No *you* look! you�ve done enough to me old man, I like Akane
allot and if you dare get between us again I garentee you�ll regret it.�
spat Ranma.
�Is that a challenge boy?� asked Genma puffing up his chest.
�Not yet.� said Ranma as he walked away from his father.
Ranma walked towards the school looking more upset than ever and
sighed to himself. �Great, I can�t talk to Akane until she calms down.
What else could happen.� he said aloud. suddenly a familiar voice called
out to him sounding angry.
�Ranma I kill!!�
Rairaku yelled as he threw several throwing stars at Ranma.
Ranma easily caught them and turned to face his opponent. �Not now, I�m
not in the mood.� said Ranma calmly.
�Reiraku no care. Never let marry Shampoo!!� he yelled. Ranma
kicked the boy as he was rushed and slammed his head into the wall behind
him knocking him out cold.
�Hmph, he was always a poor student.� said a new voice. Ranma
immediately turned to its source.
�Hello Mousse.� he said letting his battle aura burn a little
making himself look very dangerous.
Mousse was to say the least a little unnerved by this. �He knows
me?� he wondered trying to keep his face neutral.
�Lets get this over with.� said Ranma calmly. Mousse shifted his
position to try to get behind the angry martial artist but Ranma seemed
to always face him. Finally growing impatient he walked into the light.
�You know me.� stated Mousse.
Ranma smiled a dark smile at the boy. �Better that you think.�
said Ranma.
Mousse snorted at the boy. �You don�t look so tough.� he said.
Ranma side stepped as Mousse swung what looked like a backhanded uppercut
at him.
�Not bad Hidden weapons is dangerous art.� said Ranma smugly.
Mousse growled. �You can�t even beat Shampoo what makes you think you
stand a chance against me?� Ranma goaded. Mousse shot various knives and
spears attached to chains at Ranma. �Can�t defeat her or won�t?�asked
Ranma smugly. �This is a problem.� thought Ranma inwardly. Mousse�s
weapons were not his usual assortment of toys, everyone of them was
deadly even the chains had spikes or blades on them, he was willing to
bet that wasn�t a training potty that Mousse had swung at him earlier.
�Gotta end this fast.� thought Ranma coolly. He raised his hands in a
familiar pose �Moukou Takabishi!!�he yelled as the energy ball escaped
his hands. Mousse reeled back from the blast but was not stopped by it
Ranma had not had time to charge it properly. But Ranma pressed his
attack he kicked Mousse in the head and knocked him into the wall. Mousse
responded by beating Ranma back with an odd looking sword. Ranma decided
he�d had enough �Katsuten shin amaguriken!� he yelled unleashing the
chestnut fist. Mousse blocked allot of the blows but not enough, he fell
to the ground under Ranma�s attack. Ranma stood over Mousse�s unconscious
body and staired hard. Reiraku stood behind Ranma.
�Mousse could never defeat my sister.� he said defiantly. Ranma
laughed at him.
�Boy you really are stupid aren�t you?� he said to Reiraku.
Reiraku glared at him. �Moose could easily defeat Shampoo, You fool, he�s
just too in love with her to hurt her. Didn�t you know that?� said Ranma.
�I knew he in love with her, but he to weak to defeat her.� said
Reiraku.
�I�ve fought both I know.�said Ranma.
�NO.�said Reiraku.
�You think what you like. but you and I both know that your both
in no condition to face me for a while.� said Ranma as he left the boy
glaring at him. Reiraku watched him leave he had been trying to hide the
fact that he could barely stand up, but Ranma could have finished them at
anytime, and they all knew it.
