Ranma could hear the quiet whispers of his classmates conversing about his encounter with the Blue Blunder. Honestly how Kuno, his messed-up sister, and his coconut father stayed free to menace everyone was easily answered.
They were rich and well-connected. Ranma was deep in thought on how to take care of the Kuno family so they would stay out of his life. Ranma had a bet that everything he said to Kuno would go in one ear and out the other. In other words foul sorcery this and that. If only he could lock up the crazy-as-batshit family until they forgot him.
Ranma snorted. No way would that happen.
He noticed the auras of his two fiancees that Genma had arranged step in the classroom just before the bell rung. Of all the things Genma had done this was the worst. Akane and Ukyo had so many mental problems they could have stayed with the Kunos in an asylum.
Ukyo had her life destroyed by Genma and unknowingly by himself. Thanks to Genma's greed and his ignorance they had basically ruined Ukyo's life. Ukyo's family and herself had also ruined her life. Ukyo's father basically did what Genma did all the time. Put the blame and responsibility on their child. Ukyo was registered as a male in her clan until she claimed restitution from the Saotome clan. It didn't help matters much that Ukyo went along her father's plan of revenge. She had pretty much dedicated her life towards revenge against Ranma and Genma.
Ranma knew several people that had led lives like Ukyo's that ended in tragedy. Now that he stopped to think about it everyone who let revenge dictate their life had it end in tragedy.
Thanks to Genma Ranma was blamed for the entire thing by weaving a story about him choosing between Ukyo and food. He was six years old for crying out loud he didn't know. Yet everyone blamed him instead of the dishonorable bastard.
Before he had arrived in Nerima Akane had been hounded by Kuno and his hentai horde for a while. Seeing how the adults could not stop the insane idiot and his followers Akane had to fight off a group of boys who wouldn't accept no for an answer. The teachers, her father, and even the police if she had gone to them had their efforts proven in vain since Kuno was rich and connected. Akane had learned that there was no one stopping the boys in taking advantage of her if they could have beaten her. She had learned through all the fights that all boys were perverts with just one thought. Getting into a girl's panties.
One side effect of the fights was that due to Kuno holding back his skill it had made Akane arrogant in believing that she was the best martial artist period. Ranma shook his head in disgust thinking of all the times he had let the spoiled brat hit him. That just reinforced Akane's belief that she was the best. It wouldn't surprise him if Akane thought she could beat Saffron.
In her mind was this equation: Ranma defeated Saffron(A phoenix god) and I defeat Ranma all the time so I am more powerful than a god and can defeat Saffron.
Another problem was Soun Tendo. He was such a weak man and father that Akane had probably labeled all men as weak. Ranma could not believe that Soun Tendo was so weak after the death of his wife that he was still in the middle of a nervous breakdown. So with Akane's father being weak and all the boys in schools hormonal perverts it was no wonder that she deemed boys and men useless.
Not to mention that according to her words that she was engaged to a perverted freak from the depths of her nightmares. Ranma would never forget those words.
'It wouldn't surprise me if Akane was a lesbian by now.' Ranma smirked as Hinako-sensei walked in. 'She must have drained someone to be in her adult form.'
Ranma's smirk evaporated as he took a look at his teacher's aura. What he saw scared him so much that he paled visibly. In reaction almost everyone looked outside to see if the end of the world was coming. To see Ranma scared or worried was unheard of in Furinken.
'When I see Happosai next I'm going to roast him slowly over a fire still alive.' Ranma promised himself. 'Another case of the old perverted bastard not knowing what he was doing and messing things up.'
Because of Hinako's condition she was close to dying. What nobody knew was that the change from adult to child and vice versa was killing her. Hinako's body was tearing itself apart because of all the changes. A body slowly grows into an adult not straining itself in the process but Hinako's body was being strained beyond its breaking point whenever she changed from one form to another.
He would need to talk to her as soon as possible in private to tell her but there was one problem he could see already.
Hinako wouldn't believe him when he told her.
