Wow, back from the deads, I finally got my block over for this chapter. I
hope the gramar is good enough for most of you FFML readers since I'm still
french and if I can read english as good as french, I still have some
problems with english gramar (also some problem while choosing if I need to
write 'at', 'to', 'of', 'for' and the like, which is very confusing
sometimes when you're not a native I suppose :p
chapter 3 is 3/4 done, in french and on paper, now I'll start to put it down
on word and in english, I hope to be able to jumpstart my stories a little
since it's been quite a while since I had that block on reincarnation chap 2
and that was preventing me of writing the next chapters too, while the ideas
for the folowing chapters are still dancing in my head, until I can write
them that is...
and now, on with the story :
---
Reincarnations
Book 1 : Antipodes
---
Chapter 2
The Lost, the Crazy, the Loons and the Amazon
---
Dear Diary,
Darn, I wish Akane didn't succeeded in pushing me to start a
diary...
Well, she did and I might as well try it, before giving up. Might be
useful, who know? Oh, you must be asking yourself how I came into
this, let's just say that I tried to talk to Akane, to see if she
could help me to find out if I was a boy or a girl. That's when she
told me she wrote a diary, like all the girls she knew. So, just to
humor her, I'm trying to write one myself... But I stay skeptic.
What to say? Or rather, how to start? I know : Ryoga Hibiki, the
eternal lost boy. He finally found Ranma and had a grudge with him.
Who would have thought that losing the bread race everyday, in
junior school, would start such a hatred in him? No sooner than he
found Ranma, the lost boy got lost, only to come back a week later
to challenge Ranma.
The fight went well, until Akane followed the two fighters when they
jumped the sports field, she wanted to watch all the match. Of
course, she nearly got caught by Ryoga's razor sharp bandanas,
"only" losing a good length of her hair, putting a definite stop to
the fight when the two challengers tried to make up for the hair
cut, and apologized.
I can understand that she was angry at Ryoga for launching his
bandanas carelessly, but why did she have to hit Ranma too, hu? She
was the one wanting to be here to help "just in case"... Ahh, as if
Ranma could need any help from her in a fight. Only I could have
helped him, but Ranma would not take it well, like we were thinking
he couldn't manage himself in a fight. He'd be wrong, about me
anyway, because having the same memory as him, I know how he think
and I respect him as a martial artist.
The first week after my "birth", Akane was gentle and all. And I
didn't really put some effort to see past this facade. But this
event showed me another face of Akane, in fact the same face she
wear each time she "spar" with Ranma : the ill tempered girl with no
control over her anger.
I'm truly starting to dislike her. She acts like she owns Ranma or
something. Well, me alive, my bro is going to be free to do as he
wants, that I swear.
Same day into the raining night, Ryoga found the dojo and attacked a
sleeping Ranma... and he dares to talk about honor? Talk about self-
centered, make me thing about a certain uncute tomboy. Well, to make
the story short, the lazy panda hit the two boys with a sign that
projected them outside, Ranma got a free bath into the pond. Waked
up by all the noise, I got to the window to see what it was all
about.
The fight between Ranma and Ryoga was short, Ryoga mentioning he
followed Ranma up to China and Jusenkyo. Akane, apparently thinking
Ryoga was a robber, launched a weight at him that hit him on the
head. The shock made him lose his umbrella, only thing protecting
him of the cold rain. Ryoga then jumped the wall and ran into the
night. Ranma later found his clothes but no trace of him
A little later, while Ranma was still searching for Ryoga's cursed
form, I heard noises coming from Akane's room. She was attacked by a
little black pig with a familiar yellow collar... We met Ranma into
the sitting room, with a dog. The dog was the neighbor's and not
Ryoga.
Ranma then went to take a bath, he was felling dirty with all the
cold rain that plastered his clothes on his body. Akane asked him to
bathe the pig too, well that's Akane for you. After a yell, Akane
and me saw Ranma running after the pig, trying to clobber it with a
bath tool. Akane took the "poor piggy's" defense, nor even hearing
Ranma's excuses.
She kissed the pig's snout and took it with her to bed. Ranma then
told me that the pig was in fact Ryoga, as I had thought. He wanted
to go get the pig after Akane went to sleep but I told him to let
her be. We will always be able to reveal P-chan's (Akane really have
no imagination for names) true identity later.
Yep, I'm truly starting to dislike Akane. Let her be a fool with her
cute piggy for a while. I'm waiting to see her face when I'll tell
her it was Ryoga all along. He he he.
---
New face in the area : Kodachi, the Black Rose.
She was attacking three guys, that later revealed to be in fact
three girls from my class with lots of bandages on, mummy-like. I
still have shivers down my spine each time I remember the way she
laughed that day.
To resume the story, Kodachi seems to cheat at the matches she fight
at, disabling her stronger opponent before the match itself,
ensuring her an easy victory. So Akane being the best martial artist
from our school (that is before Ranma & me came along of course),
she was asked by her fellow classmates to fight on the match against
Kodachi's school.
Of course, the tomboy accepted and started to "train", if one can
call it like that. I'd call that a circus or a bad show. Don't get
me wrong, I'm not just badmouthing her because I don't like her much
anymore. She's just to clumsy & graceless to be any good, she was
trying to learn martial arts rhythmic gymnastic after all.
Ryoga gave her a hand, since he learned that style on his all-too-
frequent travels, but it was a lost cause. Akane just couldn't bring
herself to learn anything.
When Ryoga changed himself back to P-chan for the night, Ranma got
angry and chased him through all the house, where Kodachi was making
a repeat of her "fair" pre-fights with Akane.
All in all, a pretty draining night : Kodachi tried to fight Akane
but had to flee, was knocked down by a kettle Ranma had, while
jumping all over the place chasing after Ryoga, and seemed to find
him up to her taste when he saved her from a nasty fall.
It seems we are going to have to keep an eye on her.
---
I knew this girl was not normal. Kodachi is in fact Kuno's sister,
which explain a lot on her attraction to Ranma if she's anything
like her dear insane brother (who was surprisingly half descent
today).
Ranma was made the "price" of the match, I tried to interfere but
neither Akane nor Kodachi listened to me. I swear if I knew Ranma
wouldn't try to stop me, I'd pound some sense in those two girls.
Well, I won't get the chance to beat Akane some, but since the
tomboy injured her ankle while training with Ranma, I was the only
"girl" (and that still remain to be confirmed yet) to fight for her.
The day before the match for crying out loud !
While besting Kodachi in public would relieve some of the stress I
have been cumulating, I'm planning to play her own rules so teach
her a lesson I hope she remember. While I won't write here what I
planned just in case, I'll be able to fill some more after the act
tomorrow.
Damn, I'm being evil here, and I sooo love that.
---
Mission success. Kodachi didn't report in time for the match and her
school had to surrender. Nobody understood why she didn't come and I
can tell you it was pretty hard not to grin like a madman, or is it
madwoman ? I should get my head in order soon, this gender problem
need to be looked at, and soon.
Breaking into the Kuno mansion wasn't easy, but after years of
stealing and learning the way of thieves it wasn't really a problem
either. Kodachi didn't even wake up when I just dumped on her a few
of her own flowers, and let me tell you that those black roses she
grows have nothing to envy from tear gas, even if you don't smell
them and wear a mask.
I got the little loon all tied up and "stored" her in an old chest
in the attic, with some more roses around her head for good measure.
I know I'm not better than her for doing that but she's got that
coming for too long.
---
Another entry, another goon, another fact.
The easier first : I hate cold. And I sure don't see what's so
interesting in skating on ice like that. Sure I don't even know how
to stand but there is nothing to incite me to learn how to either.
As for the new goon, Mikado Sanzenin is the local ice skating
martial arts champion it seems. Yes, they did a martial arts based
on ice skating and I don't even want to know how it came to be.
Ranma on the other end can't stand down a challenge and is hell bend
on learning ice skating.
Speaking about trouble, it seems to be double or nothing around
here, because Ryoga's pig form cough the eyes of the teammate of
Mikado, Azusa Shoratori, who take the kleptomania to a new level. A
bit of a airhead too.
If all the area if full of goons like them, we are going to get our
hands full, but I don't think I'm going to keep calm much longer.
Even writing in this freaking diary is starting to get on my nerves.
Yes, I'm quite angry : I still don't own any memories of my own, my
martial arts can't seems to help me relieve the continuous stress of
this life, all the goons that comes like they own the world or
something and I can't even let me fight them for fear I'd maim them
or break a few bones.
Just this to clean the Mikado/Azusa situation, the skaters were on a
"I'm so good I can't be beat" and Ranma & Akane were their stubborn
usual self. There were a few fights that I didn't interfere in for
my own good and the situation was defused with a victory, after all
a Saotome never lose.
---
Wow, Shampoo already found us. Problem is she's still on a killing
rampage and I don't see how to explain to her I'm not the "girl type
Ranma" she met a few weeks before. Her "kiss of death" law isn't the
only one at her village because when Ranma jumped her to save me
from a death strike, he accidentally knocked her down for a few
minutes.
We thought she was going to try and kill us both but the laws for a
male are a little different : instead of trying to kill him, she
need to marry him. Talk about outdated laws... on the other hand,
the Tendo-Saotome pact is not much better in my opinion.
Despite my fears of death, for all I know I was born the day Ranma
arrived here after all and I don't intend to die anytime soon, I
succeeded in calling a short truce with Shampoo with the help of
Ranma & Nabiki. Okay, Nabiki did most of the convincing, she can
turn situations anyway she want, damn sharp tongue she got there.
Having Shampoo nursing a few bruises I gave her at the same time
helped a little too since she was a little taken by surprise and out
numbered three to one.
After quite some time, the amazon understood that she would never be
able to accomplish her two goals at the same time. If she killed me,
Ranma would kill her for revenge, and he'd never marry her as long
as she was supposed to kill me.
I asked her what she knew of Jusenkyo, and explained to her what
happened the first day Ranma & his/our father passed here in Nerima.
To say she was surprised would not be strong enough, she didn't
believe us at first but after a twenty question game where Ranma and
me answered taking turns, she was more inclined to believe it.
Since she couldn't make a decision herself on what to do, she had to
go back to her village to ask for the action to take. Strangely,
seeing her leave like this made my hearth tighten for a few seconds
but I didn't pay attention to it.
Later on the evening, Nabiki showed Ranma and me a passage on the
amazon lays from the book Shampoo left behind. What we read promised
cruel punishment to those that failed in their duty, even more so
concerning both kiss-laws.
She's going to be punished for something we asked her to do, and in
some ways, it's my fault completely. And now she's gone back to her
village, knowing she might very well be punished for not killing me.
The more I think about it, the more I know I'm going to do something
stupid but I can't let a stupid law like this screw Shampoo's life
like this... hu ho, I just spent two whole minutes reading back what
I just wrote. Why should I care ? Why DO I care ?
When I close my eyes to clear my mind, all I see is the smile
Shampoo gave to Ranma while calling him "airen" and I can't keep bit
to feel... jealousy ? Am I attracted to Shampoo ? She sure have a
nice body and all, but that'd mean...
---
"Okay, stop thinking too much, I need to catch her before she get to
her village anyway." Ranko said aloud, closing her diary.
She quickly got Ranma's backpack and started to fill it with a few
clothes they owned and that fit they both. Quickly, she got up and
made her way toward the kitchen.
"Hey, Kasumi, can you tell the others I'm gonna catch Shampoo before
she get to her village ? I need to hurry so I can't tell them all,
thanks." Ranko told the eldest Tendo daughter, while dumping her
diary on the trash, before leaving the kitchen as fast as she
entered it.
Kasumi didn't even have time to answer to the redhead so she got the
diary back from the trash and started to read.
