Don't own either one

Chapter.1: Rings and Masks

Hours later, I woke up again in midair. Pops must have thrown me

out the window again, damn him. I was about to twist my body to land on my feet

outside the koi pond when I catch a flash of gold in my vision. In the air,

there it was; from what I can make of it, it was metal and circular.

Unfortunately, it disappeared and I was too tried and distracted, so I landed in

the pond. That sure woke me up. While under water, I saw another flash of

gold. This time, I could see it, maybe because I was standing still. It was a

giant golden ring that radiated power; the weird part was it was radiating MY

AURA!! As if in a trance I began to reach for it, but before my fingers could

touch it, something grabbed me out the water. Before I surfaced I cursed when I

saw the ring vanish.

I surfaced and now I'm staring into the angry face of my

much-unwanted fiancé, Akane Tendo. She glares before speaking, "No point in

hiding so you can avoid my cooking, jerk!" she yelled as she dragged me into the

dining room by my pigtail. One day, I swear on all that is holy, I will get her.

When I got into the house I saw everyone, Akane included, but me had a plate of

normal food. I looked at Nabiki and to my ire, she was laughing at me with her

eyes. Fine just another person that I'm going to get. I really hate her, "You

say something, Ranma-kun?" Dear sweet Kasumi asks. Silly me I must have said

that out loud.

Before I could respond, Akane places a plate of_something in front

of me. I could tell it wasn't done dying a horrible death yet. I feel sorry for

any soul that gets reincarnated as Akane's cooking. People ask how do I know

that it alive? It is because it's wheezing. I look at Akane's plate and

conformed that she is indeed not eating her own cooking. Again she glares at

me, like it is suppose to hurt, "Well, aren't you going to eat some?" I think

it would be rude to say `HELL NAH!!' so I panicked, I had to come up with

something fast_Wait a moment!!

I pointed to behind the whole family, got to my feet and yelled the most

disgusting thing I could come up with, "Hey! Look over there, Cologne and

Happosai are bumping and grinding, naked!!!" That got the desire affect.

Everyone but Kasumi shuddered, but all of them closed their eyes to rid

themselves of that mental image_now to stage two. I used some of my superhuman

speed to place equal portions of Akane's food in everyone else's plate, but

Kasumi of course and because it is Kasumi's cooking no one can refuse to eat it,

or it will upset her and no one upsets dear sweet Kasumi_Revenge is mine!!!

I finished my plan just in time, for everyone had opened, their eyes, having

dispelled the mental image, "I'm done!" I lie, putting a big cheesy grin on my

face `GottagotoschoolearlyforesomethingsoIgottagobye!" I say in one word before

running out the house, just barely hearing Kasumi's goodbye. I wait outside the

door for a minute, then I hear it. The sweet sounds of choked sobs and the

rushing upstairs to the bathroom_he he he. I use some more of my speed to run

until I'm half way to school. I wonder if they realize what I done,

"RRRRAAANNNNMMMMAAA!!!!" I shrug and walk to school whistling and thinking of a

certain pink haired girl.

I walk into the grounds of Furiken high, ignoring the surprised looks on

everyone's faces. It's not like I never came to school ear_oh wait, I've always

been late. Oh well doesn't matter, I don't really care. I groan, because I see

Kuno stomping towards me. In his hands was a steel Katana_Damn Idiot! "Fowl

Sorcerer Saotome! Release the fiery Akane Tendo and my pigtailed goddess or face

the heavenly wrath of Tatewaki Kuno, the Blue Thunder!" On que, lightning

strikes behind him. I have neither the time nor the patience to deal with this

so I ask, "Hey Kuno-sempai! How can thunder be blue, when all it is is just a

sound?" He freezes, "What?" He asks. I smirk internally, "Thunder has no form,

so how can it be blue?" His eyes glazed over and he became lost in thought,

surprisingly as it sounds. I wave my hand in front of him several times_no

response, "Oh I think I broke him, oh well". I smirked and cheerfully walked

past him towards the entrance to the school.

I looked at several of my classmates and found that they are shocked, that

someone, much less me managed to stop Kuno with words. Saotome, the idiot savant

of fighting, I know they think I'm stupid; hell every fiancé thinks that. They

have no idea how intelligent I am. Only the teachers know, but I ask them to

keep it a secret. I want to see my peers faces at graduation when they announce

me as the student with the highest marks ever recorded at Furiken, my grades are

even better than Nabiki's. I still remember the shock on Ms. Hinako's face when

I displayed my mastery of the English language. I smirk. I wonder how the ol'

ghoul would take it if she knew I was fluent in Madrian. I was about to walk

into the school building when I see it

It's another gold ring, radiating my aura again. It is floating right next to

me. Taunting me, teasing me, making me reach for it. I was about to grab it

when_"Ranma! Prepare to die!" I jump out the way of the 300-pound umbrella

smashing into the ground where I once stood. I watch as the ring is gone again,

and with it my good mood. "Damn it straight to hell!" I turn to Ryouga, "What

do you want, P-chan?" Ryouga growls and charges in a rage, Using Mousse's

hidden weapons technique, I pull out a bottle of water and with one toss, viola!

Instant P-chan. To add more insult. I drop kick P-chan, carefully aiming so he

will land where that crazy ice-skater, Azusa practices. I won't be seeing P-Chan

for a couple of weeks

I get the urge to look up, so I do and I find myself staring into those red

eyes. She is leaning out the window, watching me. I find myself waving like a

fool. She smiles and mouths the word "Remember" Then she ducks back into the

classroom, the same one I'm heading to. What joy! I try to move, but I'm stuck

staring at the spot where she was. I just stand there ignoring my surroundings

until a mallet slams into my head. I turn around and look into the slightly

green, but still angry face of Akane. I roll my eyes, "Geeze Akane! What did I

do now?" She pouts in that disgustingly uncute way that she does. Frankly it

reminds me of a damn dirty ape, "If you don't know what you done, then you don't

deserve to know why I'm mad" I resist the urge to smack the shit out of her,

Kami knows she needs it. I watch her stomp into the building and behind her a

even greener, but angry Nabiki glares at me. Doesn't bother me one bit. With

one jump, I enter my classroom.

I look around and much to my disappointment Amy was gone. I sigh wistfully as I

take my seat, ignoring the daggers Akane was glaring at my back. Ms Hinako

walks in adult form and the class falls silent. "Okay class, I have a surprise

today," Instantly the class went to def-con 4. The last surprise they had was

me. He he he. Ms. Hinako, all used to this, ignored the alarms. "We have six

new students today, many from other countries." She turned towards the door.

"Okay you can come in one at a time"

Amy came in first, still wearing a Furiken uniform. She bowed, "Hello my name

is Yoko Ten" Wait I thought_no I know her name is Amy. I put it to the back of

my mind to ask her later. I looked around and saw that the guys where drooling

and the girls glared in jealousy. It must suck for their self-esteem to have so

many good-looking people come in. I felt liquid on my face and too my surprise,

I had a minor nosebleed. I quickly cleaned the blood off. Ms Hinako nodded,

"Okay Miss. Ten go take the seat next to Mr. Saotome" Every guy groaned and I

could feel Akane's battle aura form behind me, "Mr. Saotome, would you mind

raising your hand so that Miss. Ten could find her seat?" My hand exploded from

my side and into the air, and I had a big goofy grin on my face. Akane's battle

aura, grew but she can't do a damn thing or the new students will find that her

`I'm all sweet and innocent' act is total bullshit and not to mention, the

teacher will drain her faster then a yellow belly sap-sucker_well suck sap.

Amy walked towards me, my eyes glued to her swaying hips. As she walked by, her

hand rose up and gentle stroked the side of my face and oh my god! It drove

shivers down my back and I had a sudden urge to do_something Kasumi would say

naughty. I bit my lip and could feel my face flush. I took a glance over to

Akane and found she had her mallet out.

I look back toward the front of the class and at the next student. He was a

native, he had aqua blue hair. A lot of hair. It went down past his back and

not to mention it was nothing but spikes. He had matching blue eyes too. He

wore the uniform but there were differences. The dress shirt was unbuttoned and

underneath was a matching long sleeve blue shirt in which the sleeves where

tucked into giant metal gloves. Many metal bracelets of different designs lined

up one arm, "Hey `sup. The names Hana Recca, just call me by my last name." He

took the seat next to Akane and placed his feet on the desk and went to sleep. I

like him already.

The next student was obviously gajin. He had dark brown skin with long reddish

brown dreadlocks. He too wore the uniform but it was different to. Instead of

the shirt being white, it was brownish red, like his hair and over it was a

medallion. He had mirror shades on the top of his head and headphones around

his neck. Where Sonic had gloves this guy and gauntlets and they looked strong.

"Hey, Da' name is Rick Jones, All da' way from Ja'mica" He said in a real accent

but I got the feeling it's fake. He took a seat next to Uyko, put his shades

and headphones and went to sleep. I could here American rap coming from the

headphones.

The next person to come in was also gajin. She was a pale skin beauty with

snow-white hair. She wore all black makeup, lips, eyes, and even her pointy

nails had black on them. She didn't wear the uniform or even a variation of

it. Instead she wore a long black dress with giant sleeves that hid most of her

hands. It reminded me of Mousse's robe, where he hid all those weapons. Also

on her arms, it wasn't solid black like the rest of her dress, but rather

fishnets. I looked into her eyes and found that they were a dark purple. She

spoke in an English accent "Celes Victoria Gatesford, Great Britain." As usual

all the other guys where drooling but I thought Amy looked better. She walked

next to Rick and kissed his cheek then sat next to him, shattering my peer's

chances. Rick lifted his shades with one finger, smiled and put them back down.

The next one was a kid, looking about two years younger. He had messy bright

orange hair and was also gajin. His face had numerous freckles on it. On top

of his head, some black goggles and strapped from his left shoulder to his right

hip, was something like Ukyo's bandolier, but instead of spatulas, wrenches,

screwdrivers other tools, and underneath was a the uniform, even though it was

extremely baggy He bowed, "The name is Miles all the way from Germany, you're

going to have to guess my last name" I could hear a couple girls whisper about

he being so cute. Miles took a seat next to the sleeping Recca, who just

cracked an eye open and just went back to sleep.

Everyone waited, for the last new student to come in, but no one came in.

Suddenly there was a blinding flare, and when it cleared, there she was

standing. With bright blue hair cut somewhat like Nabiki's style, in a white

t-shirt that was cut to expose her stomach, blue skirt that matched her to go

over it. To top it off was an open blue vest that went to her knees. Her eyes

though where gray and it felt like she was staring at you right down to the

core. She looked at me wide-eyed before her eyes slanted like a fox spirit.

"Hello my name is Kay Hos, that's all you need to know." She went to a seat that

was in the corner where Hiroshi was, "Move" the coward he was, he moved out the

seat and took the only one in the front. Kay sat down and proceeded to stare

out the window.

I take the time before the lesson starts to check out the energy patterns of

every new student, and I am very impressed, They are all a little under my level

but Recca, he is equal. I am shocked. Hopefully they don't try to kill me, but

there is something, familiar about the auras, like I have encountered them

before. Ms. Hinako starts her lesson and I start me little act of not paying

attention, when I'm really am.

Halfway through the lesson, I get the feeling that someone is watching me,

besides Akane, because all she does is glare at me, so I tune her out. I look

around and find that Amy is staring at me. I smile and she returns it, plus a

note [I bet you're wondering why I said my name is Amy?] I pass back my

response [Probably because that is your nick name or middle name and wanted to

get close to me_or you're making fun of me] She giggled and I could feel the

return of Akane's battle aura, it only grew as Amy passed another note, [It's a

special name, but you already know that. Do you remember yours yet?]

I dodge to the left to avoid a mallet and duck to avoid a spatula.

No one noticed except for the new students as they watch me dodge the

`disproval' from my fiancés and pass my note, [No but I can feel it on the tip

of my tongue] Amy smiled sadly and responded, [It'll come to you just try to

remember] I duck under another mallet swing and press a pressure point on

Akane's wrist, causing her to drop the mallet, much to her surprised. "You

dodged mallet-sama?" I grin and grab `mallet-sama' and toss it out the window,

right on the still brain dead Kuno

Amy looks out the window and giggles, a sound that sounds like

angels singing. "Is that guy okay" She asked, I sigh "Yeah, the Kuno family

have very hard heads. That one is a self-delusional pervert. You shouldn't go

nowhere near him" She shrugs "Ah" Then her eyes widen in amazement as I duck

under another swing from a mallet. Where the hell does she get them?? I'm

guessing out her ass, but I'm just annoyed.

Amy leans in a whisper, "Does this happen to you all the time?" I

nodded "I'm the best martial artist around her and this unwanted fiancé by

arrangement between two lazy drunkards think that she can hit me whenever she

wants, but recently I decided screw her" The class grows silent as I pause to

snatch the mallet out of mid-swing and break it over one knee. I know I'm going

to get hell later, but I don't care. I noticed that Recca is fully awake and

staring at me, interested. I'll have to spar with him later.

Before anything else goes on, Ms Hinako interrupts, "Mr. Saotome,

Miss. Ten, no talking, go into the halls" and then she winks. "Oh okay teach,"

my code for thanks. What people don't know is that Ms. Hinako doesn't have to

drain someone to turn into an adult or stay one. After the incident where she

first showed up, I taught her how to draw off of environmental chi.. Amy looks

at me confused, so I just wink and mouth the words, "Follow me."

"What was that about?" She asked the minute I closed the door. I

paused, Should I tell her? I glance at her and find that she is cheerfully

waiting, my answer. I want Amy to know me, not the mask that everyone thinks I

am. I look around and see that no one is around, "Around this school, I'm

considered an idiot, but none of them realize that I have the highest marks. I'm

a genius yet I wanted no one to know. So I asked all the teachers to treat me

like an idiot and all I have to do is the assignments and past the test. Ms.

Hinako teaches English. I speak it fluently, most likely you do too, right?"

She nodded, "So we get t o do whatever. Tell me Amy do you know the other

students?" She nods, "We all have history, we are very close" I grin; "I

remember when me and Sonic first fought" Wait a minute, who is Sonic? I look at

Amy and she looking at me all wide-eyed. She opens her mouth and closes it.

"Amy?" She is staring at me with a huge grin, "Ranma, What did you just say?"
