Chapter 3
Ranma and Mikagami shocking battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
"Son...of...a...bitch," said Ranma, "Water, it JUST had to be water!" he
exclaimed while looking up at the sky. "Why me?! Huh? Dear Kami why me?"
he said to himself, "I mean, I try my best, I'm good most of the time, and I
may
have a loud mouth, but I always meant good." And with that, Ranma dropped to
his knee and started to swear so much, that it would have put a New York taxi
driver to shame.
Beads of sweat appeared on the back of everyone's head. They did not know
what to make of it, first the stranger complained about Mikagami water weapon
and now he cursing in many different foreign languages. Ami was the only one
who understand most of the words he was using haing gotten all A's in her
foreign language subjects.
"Ano�.R-ranma-san ?" said Yanagi tentatively, trying to get Ranma attention .
"Ranma-san?"
Ranma, still moping on his luck with water and all his problems with it,
ignored her. "Oh well, gotta go through with it now, I'm Ranma Saotme. I
never back down, no matter what problem is in my way."
" Are you quite through" asked Mikagami with his arms folded across his chest
and his foot tapping impatiently, "I would like to get this over with
quickly you know."
After shrugging his shoulder and taking a deep breath he turned to face
Mikagami.
" Alright I am done now.." said Ranma, "Sorry bout the out burst." He then
cleared his throat and eyed Mikagami's weapon. He had never seen one quite
like it before and was curious about it. " Nice weapon you have there, mind
if I ask what it is?"
Mikagami saw no harm in explaining to him what his Ensui is. "Why not?" he
thought, " Not like the information will do him any good." He cleared his
throat and held up his Ensui so Ranma can see. "This is Ensui, it is an
Elemental weapon, it controls the element of water to any shape or form the
master's wants it too, as you can see." And raised his water sword so Ranma
can see.
Ranma was surprised, he never heard of an elemental weapon before beside the
ones he and Saffron used in their battled. "Hmm, must be native to this
world." He thought, then he grinned, "Not like it will do him any good
either, but gotta admit he is pretty fast with that weapon." As he gingerly
felt the cut on his shirt.
"Damn fast."
" There are also many other elemental weapons beside this one, and anyone
with the skills and expertise to use one is nearly unbeatable, except to
anyone else who has an elemental weapon themselves." Mikagami said, he then
eyed Ranma " So you see Ranma, you have as much of a chance of beating me as
there is of Hell freezing over."
"We'll see about that Mikagami." said Ranma "We'll see."
" Well, enough talking, prepare to lose Black belt." Mikagami said with a
scoff.
All Ranma did was grin. Seeing the grin Mikagami rushed forward again at him
with incredible speed, his sword at his side ready to cut him, samurai style.
"I'll end this with one blow" he thought to himself " No black - belt can
dodge this." He saw Ranma just standing there, seemingly unaware that he is
about to be attack " Guess I am moving so fast even he can't see me." He
thought. He brought his Ensui to hit Ranma with the hilt of the sword on his
head, he didn't want to used the water sword on some one so weak. He just
wanted to knock him out real fast, " Say nighty-night Ranma." And he raised
his Ensui for the blow until he saw Ranma looking straight at him with a
grin. "Nighty- night Mi-chan." Said Ranma and with that Upper-cutted Mikagami
from the chin up. The momentum was so hard that it made Mikagami do a
360-degree flip with his body. As his body almost completed a 360 flipped,
Ranma snap-kicked him in the stomach, hard. The force of it was so great, it
sent Mikagami flying back several yards.
To say that everyone was shocked was an understatement. Every Hoakge's and
Senshi's team members' jaws dropped. Everybody just looked from Mikagami
fallen form, who is starting to try and get up , to Ranma, who was just
grinning from ear to ear.
"W-What the hell just happen?" asked Domon " He nearly took Mikagami's head
off with that move!" exclaimed Domon in disbelief. Mikagami is a tied with
Recca in fighting and in strength. Seeing Mikagami nearly taken out so early
have shook Domon greatly.
Fuko couldn't believe it, Mikagami was damaged from one punch and kick, one
lousy little uppercut. He's still, on the ground struggling to get up.
Mikagami trained with Domon everyday and he can take Domon full punch and
still get up, not having to struggle to get up like his was doing now.
Recca was shocked, someone had actually leveled Mikagami with one punch and
kick. One lousy punch and kick. He looked over to Mikagami to see him
spitting out blood now. "No way in hell is that a black belt" Recca thought
darkly. "It can only be a Uruhra member or a youma at work.." As if on some
un-spoken siganl Team Hokage got all of their elemental weapon prepped and
ready. Recca look at the other members and nodded.
Ranko was worried for Mikagami, it seemed like he was hurt bad. Mikagami is
now, to Ranko horror, coughing up blood. Ranko got her Sun's transformation
pen ready, she was going to make this bastard pay for hurting her Mikagami.
She looks to the other scouts to see that they were also getting their
transformation pens out. They were about to transform until Usagi shook her
head.
Usagi got ready to transform also but she still sensed no evil coming from
that Ranma boy. It could just be that he got a lucky shot in but she still
didn't see how. He said that he was a black belt yet he was able to level
Mikagami with one punch and kick. The others' were probably thinking that
he's a youma or something but her senses didn't flare like it always does
when a youma attacked. So with a shake of her head, she ordered the Senshis'
to stand down.
Kage Houshin was now certain that this was a Hokage ninja from 400 years ago.
He had hidden his skills from them with a Ninja master's expertise. Kage
Houshin got her Katana ready, she would the kill boy, that much she was
certain, but not before she find the location of the other immortal she
thought grimly.
Nodoka just felt intense relief, although she knew that Mikagami was an
expert martial artist and was concerned that he was hurt, she can't help be
feel relieved. She had thought that the young man, Ranma, would be beaten
half to death for sure but now it no longer seemed to be the case. Ranma, it
seems, was a very good martial artist but something seemed familiar about the
stance that he was using .She couldn't quite put her finger on.
Ranma was feeling very smug right now, he tricked that Kagami guy into
leaving his defenses wide open. He knew that the punch he gave the guy would
not really hurt him much, but it'll still hindered his ability to fight, the
kick on the other hand was a different story. Ranma winces as he subtly tries
to rub his sore knuckles against his shirt, he found out that Kagami guy's
jaw were harder then he had anticipated. He looked at Kagami to see him
trying to get up; he had to smirk at that as he remembered one of the
anything goes schools rules. Always let your opponents' underestimate you
then beat the crap out of them to prove them wrong. He looked around the yard
to see that a lot of people were giving him the death glare. He sweat dropped
"This could be a problem" he thought. He unconsciously braced himself for
their attacks. Lucky for him, he learned a new attack back in his home
reality that would help him against groups' attacks, too bad it didn't work
against Saffon.
Mikagami was in a world of pain, his jaw was aching like nothing else and his
stomach was very numb. Not even during the tournament did he feel this much
pain, beside his fight with Kai. "The guy obviously lied about his skills."
Mikagami thought. "Teach me to under-estimate anyone again." He thought to
himself. He finally got to his feet and looked around the yard to see his
friends about to attack Ranma. He saw Ranma took out a five-yen coin and held
it between his fingers, the others hardly noticed Mikagami noted.
"STOP!" he yelled at them. "This is my fight, stay out of it." He said as he
touches his jaws and wince.
" What?!" screamed Fuko " He could be an Urhura Ma , we need to take him out
now!" she demaned.
"Yeah Mikagami, you might have trouble fighting this guy, it is best that we
beat him senseless now and question him later." Said Domon.
Recca nodded his head in agreement.
"Mikagami-san, are you all right?" ask a concern Ranko.
Kagami smiled at that, he felt himself warmed by her concern. Lately, he has
been having weird dreams, something about ancient kingdoms and him and Ranko
doing things not appropriate to be voiced out. He also knew that Recca would
kill him if he told him about his ecchi dreams about Ranko. He allowed
himself to smile at Ranko. He then turn to his teammates and friends,
completely missing Ranko blush.
"It ok guys, I'll take care of it." Mikagami told his teammates and friends
that "Even though he lied about his skills," he gave them a confident smile
" I can still win."
Ranma was very offended by what Mikagami was insinuating. "Hey, Kagami" Ranma
said. "I did not lie about my skills at all, it was your fault that you
underestimated me." He said.
" Oh?" said Mikagami with a quirk of his eyebrows. "You said you were a black
belt in Karate, and your skills clearly show that you are more then a mere
black belt." Said Mikagami. "I may not know how they do thing where you come
from yet but HERE that is call lying."
To everyone surprise, Ranma started to laugh. He was laughing so hard, they
could see tears coming out of his eyes.
"What is so funny?" asked Usagi.
"You guys" Said Ranma in between chuckles "All I said was that I GOT a black
belt in Karate, I didn't said I AM a black belt." Then Ranma when into full
blown laugher.
Everyone in the yard sweat dropped. Maybe they were wrong about him. They
thought back to what Ranma said when he was question about his skills.
FLASHBACK�
"So does that mean you want a fight?" asked Ranma, he could tell that the guy
was halfway decent. He didn't want to fight now but if he can avoid a lengthy
explanation, he'll do it. And beside what if they think he is crazy, he'll be
sent to the funny farm before he can count to 10.
" If you think you can win, " said Mikagami. " You must at least have some
kind of martial arts training right?"
Ranma appeared to think about it for a second and nod his head and said
"Well, I got a black belt in karate. That is pretty good right?"
END FLASHBACK�
Now everyone in the yard felt like a bunch of asses.
"Ok, I guess you did tell us your skills in a way." Said Recca, feeling
slightly abashed.
Kage Houshin still didn't trust the boy, but she did put her Katana away. She
then looked at Ranma.
"Then just what is your ranking?" She asked.
With a grin Ranma said something that he knew would infuriate them, so with
one finger raised he said, "My skills are�" and he didn't said anymore.
" Yours skills are what?" asked a curious Kage's.
"A secret." Said Ranma with a smile. He loved the Slayers Anime.
A noticeable vein popped on Kage Houshin head.
"Cocky ain't he, remind you of someone you know Domon?" Fuko asked as she
eyes Ranko and Recca.
"What?!" said Recca and Ranko in usion. "Why are you trying to imply Fuko?"
Ranko asked irritably.
"Nothing�" And with that Fuko turn away from Ranko and started to whistle.
"Grrr�one of these days Fuko, one of these days." Said an irritated Ranko.
"Well, now that you know I'll be going now." said Ranma with a bow.
"Uh-uh, you're not going anywhere until we finish our fight." Said Mikagami.
"Heh, heh remembered that did you?" said Ranma as he rubbed the back of his
head. "Aw hell, why not, I can kick your ass still" said Ranma as slipped the
five-yen piece back in his pocket. He then looks at them with a serious
expression on his face. "But first�"said Ranma in a -I am dead serious- tone.
"But first�?" Repeated Mikagami, and the others tense not sure of what he
going to do.
" But first�Can I have something to eat?" ask Ranma in an embarrassed tone.
Mikagami and the gang just face faulted and dropped to the ground.
Fuko was the first to recover. "Ranko, definitely sound like Ranko." She said.
Nodoka was the second to recover. "Of course you may young man, why I do
believe we have some food left form the party awhile ago." Said Nodoka in a
motherly voice. "Just follow me."
Ranma bow his head to Nodoka in appreciation. "Thank you ma'am, I haven't
had food for the longest time." said Ranma, just as his stomach growled in
acknowledgement. Ranma had the decency to blush in embarrassment. He was
still following Nodoka back inside the temple when the others recovered.
"Heh heh, he sounds just like you Usagi" said Rei in a teasing voice.
"Reiiiiiiii�." Usagi whine. "Your mean." Said Usagi with tears in her eyes.
"Aw jeez, just grow up will ya, I swear you act so childish sometimes I
wonder how you could be our leader."
"WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" was the answer to Rei question as that was the straw
that broke the camel's back.
"Alright, all right, I am sorry, I didn't mean anything ok, just don't cry."
said Rei in a hurry to get Usagi to stop the waterworks.
" You didn't?" asked a teary eye Usagi
" Senshi's honor." Rei replied.
"I don't know about you guys but I am gonna go inside to keep an eye on his
butt, uh I mean him." said Minako as she kept glancing at entrance Ranma just
disappear through.
"You don't have to cover it up Mina-chan" said Makoto, then her eyes started
to glitter. "Why he look just like my old sempai." Said Makoto with stars in
her eyes, the Senshi's just groan.
"Ano�" Ami said, interrupting the Senshi's before they can smack Makoto a
good one. "You guys' do realize that he is alone in there with just
Hanabashi-san right?" Said Ami.
"Oh my God!" said Recca as he started to rush into the shrine in a blind
panic. Team Hokage and the Senshi follow after him, all except one.
"Kagami-kun? Are you alright?" Ask a concern Ranko. Kagami, who is still on
the ground, just answered with a twitch.
Back in the shrine, there was total silence. Everyone who was there just
stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, there he was sitting at the dining
table, eating at a pace that is putting Usagi and Ranko to shame. It seems to
them that Ranma is swallowing the food not bothering to chew it. Everyone
stared at the scene before them, no one noticed Nodoka from the kitchen.
Nodoka looked on as the stranger continue to eat, then it suddenly hit her,
he was using the Anything goes eating style. Nodoka then put two and two
together and her eyes widened as she realized why everything the boy did from
the way he fought to the way he eats, seemed so familiar.
"Genma..." she said softly.
