Ranma 1/2; Mortal Fight

Ch. 2: Enma's Feels Love With Another?

Since last night, Genma was forced to eat nothing but Akane's cooking for a week and sleep outside during that time as well, he deserved it for the way he's treated his other son (Enma) and only daughter (Bayko).

Ranma was kind enough to let Bayko and Enma share with him, Bayko was used to the smell of men's sweat stinking up the place; after all, she has been with Enma for about 13 years of her life.

As for the others this morning, Nodoka and Soun are both steamed at Genma and are still holding him to his punishment until further notice. Happosai was his usual perverted self, looking at half-naked models in magazines (unfortunately (or fortunately), he's still weak as an infant because of the moxibustion Enma gave him).

Kasumi is working on breakfast, without a care in the world in fact, she's excepted help from Bayko. Surprisingly, she's just a talented cook as Kasumi, Nodoka, and Ranma.

Nabiki is scheming a way as usual.

Akane is looking at the gift she's been struggling to try to give to her fiancé. Now that she knows that Ranma's got a twin brother and sister, she's so worried that she couldn't bring herself to any action. She thought in her head, What if I have lost siblings of my own as well?

Then she noticed the minute hand on her clock is reaching 7:15 A.M.…

"AAAH! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!"

She got into light-blue teacher's clothes, ran down the stairs, crushed Happosai with one dashing stomp along the way without tripping, and quickly got to breakfast (talk about putting "fast" back in "breakfast")! She noticed that Ranma is still not fully dressed (muscle shirt and boxer shorts), not fully awake, and with his long-lost siblings… she turned away from their gaze.

As soon as he saw her in her teacher's clothes (jacket and skirt)…

"ARRGH! I'VE FORGOT!"

He ran into his room, got into more proper clothes (his usual Chinese getup), and ran back downstairs! Enma asked, "What's the rush, brother?" Ranma shouted, "Akane and I've got jobs as teachers at Furinkan High and I don't want to screw up!" Enma said, "Well, let Bayko and me come along, we could be helpful at the school."

Bayko said, "I think we may need more proper clothes than the ones we're wearing; Nabiki does say that image is everything."

In her room, Nabiki sneezed! "What the? Am I having a cold, or was someone talking about me?"

Within the rush, the four of them made it to the school.

As they arrived, the students looked curiously at the Saotome siblings.

Bayko calls out, "Are there any nurse office/lunch lady assistance positions open?"

A familiar voice answers, "Yes, young miss Saotome." Ranma began to frown, he knows who it is, Tatewaki Kuno (recently he became vice-principal)! Ranma steps in between his sister and Kuno (who's in his usual getup), "Stay away from Bayko, if you touch one hair on her––"

"I'm not here to fight her, Ranma Saotome, I'm here to hire her… and to give her these." Kuno tosses a bouquet of red roses to Bayko. She does become flattered, "um… thanks anyway, Mr. Kuno."

Kuno turns to head back into the school, he stops and says to Ranma without looking at them, "Tell your sister, that even though I'm in love with two women, she just became added between the two of them." Ranma sank to the ground (he's off the map of "being freaked out"), "Don't tell me––" Kuno nods, "Yes." He looks at Bayko, "I love you, Bayko Saotome." Then he leaves to enter the building, leaving two angry Saotome men, a curious Akane, and a blushing Bayko.

Akane sighs, "Let's go, people! We've got school, it's not Christmas vacation, let's move it!"

"AAH! I'M SO LATE!"

The Saotome's, Akane, and entire student look way in front of them… just to find a pink-haired girl in a normal school girl uniform running towards the doors of the school!

The girl is beyond gorgeous. She was extremely well endowed with curves and lines that any fashion model would kill for. Her long pink hair reached past her hips and shoulders, which framed her beautiful face. She is certainly not lacking in the breast department; she reaches beyond it.

At almost superhuman velocity, she ran passed the four residents of the Tendo Dojo and into the school!

That snapped Bayko out of her trance, "Who was that, big brother?" Ranma answered, "That's Anzu Sakuraiju. Kuno nicknamed her 'Phoenix of the Hurricane of Cherry Blossoms' but we know her as the 'Elemental Martial Artist.'" Akane decided to help out on her fiancé's answer to his sister, as they enter the school, "Surprisingly, after Ranma became the toughest male employee in the school, she took his place as the most powerful female martial artist of the student body."

Later… Enma got a job as the new school janitor without complaints. "Now this is nice," he thought to himself, "no people making fun of me, nobody trying to get on my nerves, just a nice peaceful job where one can throw away all of his stress and get into peace with the world." The janitor uniform was too fragile for someone his strength, she he stuck with his vest and slacks.

As he went into cleaning the hall outside a classroom with a mop, a door opened up to reveal an upset (upset as in sad, if you want to know) Anzu Sakuraiju with a bucket of cold water. She stood beside the door with the bucket in her hand as it closed.

He looked at Anzu with curiosity, "Excuse me, why are you here, Ms. Sakuraiju?" Anzu sighed, "Yuka-Sensei scolded me… again! It's not fair that I always am late, Mr. Ranma."

Enma face-faulted, "I'm Enma Saotome, Ranma's twin brother."

The word came out! Students and teachers popped out of the doors of each classroom, they looked at Ranma's twin and noticed the exact difference as the latter showed up.

"Yes, that's right. I have a twin brother, that doesn't mean you don't have classes to go to or work to do."

Everyone obeyed.

Anzu looked at Enma with worry, "What do you think of Ms. Akane, Mr. Enma?" Enma sighed, "I never talked to her that much. Why?" Yuka (the light-brown-haired friend of Akane's) came out the door Anzu 'wept' out of, "Because some people have heard that a couple could never be if one of them has a twin or so the like."

Enma was outraged (not extremely, thank god), "That's not fair."

Ranma sighs, "Yeah, now the schools will never be joined." Enma followed, "So would say Mr. Tendo."

Back in the dojo, as Genma was crawling on his elbows and knees toward his old friend for food… Soun sneezed in his friends face!

CRACK! Nabiki looks at the toothpick she had in her hand, that just broke as she used it on a sweet she was going to have, "Looks like a bad omen."

Back at the school, Enma said, "They couldn't be no more than just rumors, we can't let this keep us down. Besides, we've got a tournament to go to."

Ranma's interests flared up, "Tournament? What tournament?"

Enma said, "The tournament."

Anzu asked Enma, "What tournament are you talking about, Mr. Enma?"

Enma answered, "Call me Enma. What do you think all this fighting is for anyway? Fun? Competition? Strength? Skill? No… it's not just that. That was only training. This tournament is worldwide and comes only once a human's lifetime. That's all the information I've got right now, I'm sorry."

"Then let's see who's stronger, Mr. Enma Saotome!"

The voice belongs to a young man of 19 years charging towards Enma! He's in a white tiger styled battle Gi and has long unruly black hair with spiky white bangs! He looked at Enma with battle-hungry green eyes!

He pounced on Ranma's twin and the latter tossed the both of them out a window! Luckily for them, there was a pool beneath them!

Ranma shouts to his brother, "WATCH OUT, ENMA!" Enma looks up in confusion, "Huh?"

SPLASH! SPLASH!

Everyone looked in the pool, out of the water emerged Enma in his shapeshifter form (he looks normal, except for the mystic prismatic markings on some his body).

Anzu was surprised, "What happened?" Bayko answered, "Have you heard of Jusenkyo?" Anzu nodded. Bayko continued, "My brothers and I fell into those cursed springs."

Ranma fidgeted, "Unfortunately, so did Grentiga Tsubasai." Enma was curious, "Who's that?" Anzu sighed, "You are new to this place, Mr. Enma… Grentiga Tsubasai is the person you've just knocked into the pool."

Suddenly, a large white tiger with unruly fur popped out from the water and pulled Enma under! Ranma disappeared to the other side of the nearby fence (yep, he's still deathly afraid of cats)!

Anzu sighed, "Here it goes." She throws a right hook into the surface of the water and shouts out, "Mizu Sakura Ah!" BAMFOOSH! The pool shot a large blast of water shooting Enma and Grentiga out of it!

Amazed by Anzu's powerful aquatic attack, Enma guessed out loud, "Cherry Blossomy Water Blast?" Anzu asked to him, "Are you alright?" Enma replied while falling, "I've felt harder punches from my brother and I'd blame Grentiga!"

Principal Kuno (yep Kuno's Hawaiian-styled father) came along, "Woo! Look at Multi-Tattoo Kiki (Enma)!" Enma knew what the idiot was talking about, "HEY! These aren't tattoos."

He noticed Ranma over here and there in the pool, "Woo! Aloha, twins!" Ranma explained to the airhead, "That's because just yesterday I've just found out a twin brother and a little sister when they came along, stupid." A young student girl asked him, "Why haven't you told this to us, Mr. Ranma?" Another one told her, "That's because he just found out, Baka."

Nabiki came along and saw the whole school fiasco (earlier), but went along with it, by selling pictures of a half-naked Ranma-Chan and Akane to Tatewaki Kuno (which doesn't do it well with him much anymore, since he's only paying her money by only looking at Bayko). Nabiki asks him, "What's wrong, Kuno-baby? Did your goddesses told you they don't like you?" Kuno answers, "I've fallen in love with Bayko Saotome." Nabiki's head was bursting with fireworks of schemes; "in human mode, Bayko is open-minded, this will be a piece of cake!"

Grentiga leapt out onto Enma! Enma showed off his awesome strength (Ki combined with his 'normal' physical strength), by diving into the water and jumping from the bottom of the water-filled pool and quickly moving into the sky!

The other residents of the Tendo Dojo (and the rest of the Nerima Wrecking Crew) came along! Kasumi gasped, "Oh my! Enma seems to be fighting with Grentiga Tsubasai!" Genma said, "Good thing we've brought lots of hot water!" Anzu heard that comment and snatched a kettle from Ryoga, "I'll take that!"

She took a deep breath and took a speeding start to jump towards the two combatants (surprisingly, she's as strong as the other NWC members)!

As soon as she got as close as one inch close to Enma, she lost energy began to fall (surprisingly, not strong enough)! Enma saw her and the kettle, so he sprouted wings and caught her in midair! Anzu asked him, "Spring of Drowned Angel?" Enma understood what she meant, "No, shapeshifter."

He realized he completely forgotten about the kettle, it crashed into his face, but the water didn't change him back, but it did for Grentiga!

Grentiga grabbed Enma's wings and shouted, "We still have a fight to finish!" Enma specifically said, "NO, WE DON'T! Anzu is in danger and we have to save her!" Grentiga realized his mistake but asked him, "She's three years younger than you and you care for her like she was your girlfriend?" Enma said, "I'm the janitor, and I've taken that job willingly because I wanted stress off my shoulders! If my rage goes on for too much and too long I could literally kill somebody!"

As the ground came closer and closer, Enma shifted into a giant parachute and landed the two students to safety. He shifted back and said to the students, "Spring of Drowned Shapeshifter, Jusenkyo." They responded with "Ahh." And with better understanding.

Principal Kuno just fainted from the stress and the excitement (never thought that would happen).

Back at the Tendo Dojo, later that night, Enma stayed at the school to do some double-checking for cleaning… so Kasumi left his dinner in the microwave.

Nabiki's plan is working quite well with Bayko, who's demon-half mind is thinking to her human-half mind, 'You've got to learn to say 'no'."

Ranma was waiting for his brother, Akane was there with him. Akane said, "I can understand you wanting to know your siblings more now, but I'm beginning to wonder if I've got some long lost siblings of my own." Ranma sighs, "I wish I knew what tournament he was talking about."

Finally, Enma (human mode) came home… carrying a load of luggage in fact, and right beside him was Anzu (fully energized again)!

Ranma asks his brother, "What's going on, Enma?" Anzu answered, "I'm not strong enough, so I've asked my parents to stay here and train at the Dojo, plus I've grown a liking to Enma, on our way here we've been talking about our lives."

Ranma groans, "Oh, man! I don't know what's going on anymore! Fine, you can stay and train, Anzu, but that doesn't mean you don't have school tomorrow!"

Anzu looks lovingly at Enma, who just smiles back.

I've been meaning to tell you

I've got this feelin' that won't subside

I look at you and I fantasize

You're mine tonight

Now I've got you in my sights
