Ranma woke up the next morning, and decided to take her bath early. As she walked toward the bath she met Akane who was coming out of the bathroom.
“Morning Ranma, you’re up early.”
“Yah, I had an odd dream that woke me up.” Akane cocked her head to the side and asked, “‘Odd dream’?” There were two people there named Lyner and Shurelia, At least I think that’s what their names were. Then she started talking to this Lyner guy about one of her dreams. Her dream seemed to have been about my life since Jusenkyo. The only real difference I could see with her description of it is that she said I turned into a Reyvateil with cold water.
“Wait what’s a Reyvateil?”
“A song maiden, anyway… wait a second! How did I know that?” Ranma exclaimed in shock.
“I don’t know but you seemed certain about your answer. Anyway what were you about to say?” Oh that she seemed to look a lot like my cursed form, not exactly but close. She was wearing the same clothes as well. Anyway at the end she was splashed with cold water. The sensation was similar to what happens when I change. She seemed to panic and looked into a mirror, screamed, and apparently passed out. At least I think she did, because that’s when the dream ended.”
“Wait a second, why would her passing out cause the dream to end?”
“Oh, that’s because it seemed I was experiencing the dream through Shurelia’s senses. Anyway I have to go take my bath. See you at breakfast.”
“Okay,” Akane said, as Ranma went into the bathroom. When she was alone she thought, what a weird dream, but Reyvateil? Song maiden? That might explain WHY she is so weak, because if she was meant to sing, not fight her physical abilities would be low. After Ranma took her bath she dressed in her normal Chinese clothes, and went down for breakfast. Genma glanced at Ranma in irritation, as she took her place at the table. Taking note of what form she was in he grumbled to himself,
“Dishonorable boy, going to school as a girl. He should just pick one of the girls to marry, and live his life as his real sex.” He then spoke in a normal tone of voice, “How long are you going to play this game boy? Just pick a girl to marry. If you don’t, we will let the girls decide who you will marry.”
“Heh, they won’t choose me either. While you were unconscious they all pretty much already said no, As to being a girl now you are the one who said I had to go as a girl if I didn’t change right back.” As she ignored her stuttering father, she turned toward Akane with a grimace and asked, “I need to get some clothes for school could you show me where to shop?”
“Okay, but I have a question. You formed that outfit you had on yesterday from nothing right?”
“Umm, not quite, but I suppose that’s close enough.”
“Then why can’t you form the school uniform the same way?”
Ranma winced as she replied, “That’s because I don’t really know how I formed that outfit the first time, it just appeared. After it appeared the first time, I figured out how to form it whenever I wanted. Since I don’t have what I need yet, I’ll just go like this.” Akane, looked at the clock, and said, “It’s time to go I’ll show you the way Ranma. They met Kasumi at the door.
“Here are your lunches Akane and Ranma, and have a good day at school.”
“Thanks Kasumi,” Ranma says while going out the door. Akane grabbed Ranma’s arm as soon as they are out the door, and started to run to school.
“Akane, slow down! You’re going to pull my arm off.”
“But if we don’t hurry we’ll be late.”
“I can’t run that fast or long, so if you keep running while holding my arm like that you’ll end up literally dragging me to school. Why are we rushing anyway? We have a good ten to twenty minutes to get there,” Ranma gasps out. Meanwhile she thought: geeze this body’s weak I’m out of breath from three minutes of running. On the other hand I seem to have improved ever so slightly. I went a bit further and faster than I could before.
“Did you forget? I have to fight off a mob of boys due to Kuno’s speech?” Akane explained in an exasperated voice.
“Oh, sorry. How about you give me the directions and ill catch up at my own pace?” Ranma Suggested.
“Okay,” Akane said. She then gave Ranma the directions to the school, and left after saying: “See you at school.”
Five minutes later: Ranma arrived at school in time to see Akane finish off the last of the morning mob.
“Honestly, I wish that they would get a clue,” Akane complained, while wiping sweat from her brow. Just then a boy, dressed in blue, stepped out from behind a tree. He then threw a rose at Akane.
“Kuno,” Akane growled venomously.
“Akane, I Tatewaki Kuno the blue thunder of Furinkan High will defeat you, and then date with you…” as he said this he got into is ready stance, when suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere a ball of yellow electricity flew at the tree, blasting the point at which it met the tree into splinters, and promptly dropping the branch on Kuno’s head. Akane blinked, turned to Ranma, and said, “I could’ve handled him, and I thought you said that skill couldn’t hurt anybody.”
“You probably could’ve handled him, but I figured you shouldn’t have to, and I didn’t lie that ability can’t hurt anyone,” Ranma explained. She adopted a wry smile and continued, “But that branch sure can. Anyway we should get to class.”
“Uh… right”
Ranma bent down by Kuno’s head for a few seconds, before heading to class.
In the windows there were questions going through most of the people’s minds: What was that? And who did it? These were the most prominent questions.
On the other hand asked Nabiki herself some different questions how did Ranma do that? And how can I make money off of this? Finally if I can make money off of this; can I do so without getting blasted?
Kuno staggered into his classroom, with a severe headache. Everybody turned toward him as he entered, and suddenly the entire class burst into laughter.
“How dare you laugh at my glorious self!” Kuno demanded angrily.
“Kuno baby have you seen your face?” Nabiki asked while she handed him a Compaq.
Kuno looked into the mirror of the Compaq only to see the word ‘pervert’ written on his forehead.
“Nabiki, tell me who did this!” Kuno demanded angrily, and upon seeing her hold out her hand Kuno hands over a one thousand yen bill.
“Truthfully? I don’t know who wrote that on your forehead.”
“grrr… fine. Tell me what is happening to my fair Akane then,” Kuno demanded, stuffing another bill into her hand.
After some consideration she decides to mention the engagement, “Well Kuno baby that I can tell you about. Apparently my father and his friend made a pact to marry their kids to merge their martial arts styles, and his friend’s child gets to choose which one, we are all fighting it but…”
Kuno interrupted her with, “I have to tell this person not to choose Akane, since she is obviously the best of the three.” He then dashed out of the room… only to return a moment later looking slightly sheepish.
Nabiki smirked, and asked, “Forgot something Kuno?”
“Nabiki, who is it and what classroom is he in?”
“Five thousand yen.”
“Fine,” Kuno responds while handing her the bill.
“Ranma Saotome, and she’s in the same class as Akane.”
With that Kuno dashed off again.
Meanwhile Ranma was having other problems. She was sitting at her desk. That wasn’t the problem though. The problem was that she had multiple guys around her, and all of them are trying to go out with her.
Random guy #1, “Hey cutie want to go to the movies?”
Random guy #2, “Ignore that loser and go out with me.”
Ranma’s eyebrow started to twitch, and she let out a sigh. She took a deep breath and was about to scream in frustration, when the door to the classroom slammed open. This revealed Kuno at the door; this turned her scream into laughter, in which she was joined by the rest of the class.
“Why are you laughing at my glorious self?”
“Your. Face.” Akane said while laughing.
Kuno realized he forgot to clean his face, and rushed out the door. A few minutes later he returned with a clean face, and said “I need to talk to a Ranma Saotome.”
Ranma sighed, and responded, “What do you want Kuno?”
Kuno’s brain is quite inadequate for processing reality, but even his brain found something wrong with this picture. He tried to comprehend the problem, but his brain shut down when he tried. When it restarted he attempted to figure out what was wrong again with the same results. It took him three tries, and about ten minutes, before he was able to come to a conclusion. He then decided to state his conclusion proving that he really wasn’t the sharpest tack in the bunch, “You’re a girl.”
She twitched at that but to keep the appearance of being normal, she merely responded, “So?”
“Then how is it that your father wishes to engage you to a Tendo?” Ranma sighed, and responded, “Long story, and I’m not talking about it.”
“Then my silver haired beauty, I would date with you.”
“Ranma Screamed in frustration, “That’s IT would you all get a clue? I. AM. NOT. INTERESTED. IN. GUYS!”
“Nonsense my love, come into my arms.”
Suddenly Ranma started to speak in an odd language that nobody, but her, could understand, “I am very angry, destroy him.” As she said that a few times she began tapping into the binary field and created a song magic. Everybody was startled as she began to sing.
----First Verse----
Everybody was entranced by her voice and so nobody noticed the white ball of crackling energy, that had appeared above her head.
----Second Verse----
Ranma’s clothes change into her white outfit as the ball of energy grew larger, and started to damage the ceiling. At this development some of the other students start to get a bit nervous.
----Third Verse----
The ball of energy grew even larger, and punched an even greater hole in the ceiling, so large as to actually put a hole in the roof of the building.
Kuno oblivious to the danger said, “No need to sing for our love come into my arms.”
Most students run behind Ranma correctly thinking that that was the safest place to be.
----Final Verse----
The ball of energy grew to massive proportions, its radius measured at least eight feet.
As Kuno approaches Ranma she released the song magic with a cry of, “Primal Word!” After sending the magic off she collapsed and her clothes reverted to her normal clothes.
The spell slammed into Kuno sending him and the spell into through the wall and through the next several rooms upon which it detonated destroying around forty to sixty percent of the school.
Everybody looked at the unconscious form of Ranma in fear; well there were a couple of exceptions. The first exception was Akane who was both glad Kuno got what he deserved, and because she knew that Ranma wouldn’t hit her with it.
On the other hand the music club wondered whether she would join up with them, due to her great singing voice.
Suddenly a scorched, battered, and bruised figure pulled itself up from the rubble. “That did not hurt.” Upon saying this he collapsed unconscious.
