One thing Ami had done her best to instil a love of learning into her children. It mostly stuck, while Nabiki was the only one who seemed to completely take after her academically. (If not in work ethic, she was “only” the top of her class and wasn’t even taking any cram schools) Akane and Kasumi were still both good students.
Which of course meant that the young man complaining was hopelessly outgunned.
“Pops! Why did you sign me up for school again!?” Ranma complained.
“Did you think I was going to have an uneducated lout for a son?” Genma said.
“The hell I need to go to high school to be a martial artist?” Ranma said.
Ami stepped next to the young man, she had a feeling this argument had happened before. “I assume you want to be respected Ranma?”
“...huh?” Ranma asked.
“Respected.” Ami said, smiling at the boy. “You clearly have pride in your ability, but without education and certification, why would anybody treat you as anything but a boy who can win a fight?”
“What? Who needs a piece of paper to-”
“The piece of paper tells people that you can be trusted.” Ami said, “I know a lot about medicine but would you just want to take my word for it?” When Ranma didn’t answer, she pushed a backpack into his hands. “There we go! Have fun at school. I have a shift to go too, I’ll be back by dinner.”
“Uh…” Ranma looked down at his new bookbag.
“Well you heard her boy, go to school!” Genma slapped his son on the back.
“Your mom’s kind of intense when talking about school.” Ranma said to Akane, she was putting on her shoes. The sailor fuku on her was kind of odd compared to the exercise clothes he had seen on her yesterday. It definitely didn't suit her. Not at all. She was way cuter in those exercise clothes.
"Well, my mother is a chess grandmaster, one of the best doctors in the world, graduated top of her class in Tokyo University, and jokes she broke the IQ scale.” Akane mused.
“Huh?” Ranma said.
“She’s smart, super smart.” Akane said, shrugging “Nabiki’s the only one of us girls who got her brains, but she doesn’t work nearly as hard and just coasts in class.” She paused, “Also, no matter how it looks never ever get involved in a bet with Nabiki. Not to win, not to lose, not to draw."
“Eh, I don’t gamble anyways.” He said.
“Aww that’s too bad!” Chibi-Usa jumped between them, “I bet it’d be fun!”
“Woah where did you come from!?” Ranma said.
“The Future.” Chibi-Usa said.
“Seriously how the hell did you sneak up on us?” Ranma said.
“You really think you keep yourself focused on your surroundings 24/7?” She asked.
“If you’re going to be training with my old man you will be.” Ranma said seriously, “He’s not going to go easy on you with that trick you pulled.”
“Really? Wow that sounds impressive, tougher then Auntie Haruka…” Akane mused.
“Another friend of your moms?” Ranma asked.
“Yeah. She’s a real strong martial artist. But she’s let herself go a bit because she likes racing better.” Akane said.
“That’s too bad.” Chibi-Usa said. “Well anyway! Let’s head off to Furinkan! I hear there’s plenty of excitement there!”
"Yay. Excitement," Akane sarcastically cheered, a reaction Ranma honestly expected more from school.
“Wow this is exciting!” Chibi-Usa said once the horde of boys charged at Akane.
Ranma gawked, mouth slightly ajar, at Akane as she tossed him her bag and went to work on the boys calling out love for her. They swarmed around her, like love-struck zombies.
Akane’s style was strange. To Ranma it looked like Anything Goes while not exactly being the style. He supposed that came from it being a recreation of the style by Akane and her… mom? The sisters did seem to call Makoto “Mom” while Ami was “Mother” so Ranma supposed that was a good as method as any of thinking about the relationship Akane’s parent and stepparent had.
The boys were pushing harder against Akane, standing up each time she knocked them down!
“Hmmm they don’t stand a chance against her do they?” Chibi-Usa asked.
“Nah they’re getting their asses kicked to next week.” Ranma said, enjoying the sight.
Before Akane could finish them off, however, the boys were scattered by the force of a projectile being thrown to the center of the horde. It was a bokken with a rose tied to the handle.
Akane let out a long pained sigh from the sight of the thrown weapon. “Upperclassman Kuno.”
A man in tuxedo wearing sunglasses dropped down from a tree. “Fair Akane Tendo, how fierce and mighty you're showing is today.”
“Oh. My. God." Chibi-Usa said, clutching her hands over her mouth to avoid dying of laughter. "The legends were true. I thought it was a myth. He really is this bad."
“Your fierce beauty is surely the reborn forms of the Senshi, come, date with me and we shall recreate those glorious days!”
“Senshi?” Ranma said, “The hell he’s talking about?”
“Huh? You haven’t heard of the Sailor Senshi? They’re superheroes that first appeared around 30 years ago. They show up to fight demons and monsters when they’re causing trouble.. Though they don’t pop up much anymore since monster attacks are way down.” Chibi-Usa smirked. “They kind of beat most of them.”
“And that has something to do with the bad dance date look how?”
“I think he’s trying to be.. Oh man… the Tuxedo Kamen to Akane’s Sailor Moon.” Chibi-Usa forcing down a giggling fit. "As if this even compares! Hah!"
“So, shall we dance my lady?” Kuno said.
“So do you attract all the weirdos or is this just a special case?” Ranma asked, dropping down next to Akane.
Kuno threw another bokken/rose combo. “Halt, knave! This is private moment between myself and Akane Tendo!”
Ranma caught the thrown weapon between his hands. “Private? You interfered with this girl’s fight and started babbling on about some old comic book knock offs.”
“Excuse me!? You ignorant fool! The Sailor Senshi are the saviors of this world! Heros all women of earth should look up to and emulate!”
“Yeah and you’re not one of them.” Akane said, “Nobody knows who they are, so can we just go to class Upperclassman before I have to beat you again?”
“Not before I punish this ignorant fool for disrespecting your predecessors!” He drew yet another bokken, “Speak your name blade, because you face I, the Masked Thunder of Furinkan High, Tatewaki Kuno, age Seventeen!”
“Wait, she just showed up at your place?” Usagi said.
“Yes. Apparently you decided that she needs to learn martial arts from my daughter.” Ami said into the phone. “She’s living here now, and she hypnotized my children.”
“Ami, you really should just tell them!” Usagi said. “I mean, wouldn’t that be awesome! If my parents are Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter I’d be all ‘kyaaa you’re so cool Mom!’ and we’d bond over being superheroes. It’s not like there’s anything super dangerous that means we have to hide our identity from our family anymore… actually Mom wasn't exactly happy when she learned what I was Moonlighting as…””
Ami sighed, “I know Usagi, I just want my daughters to live mostly normal lives.”
Ranma dodged another thrown bokken. His opponent seemed to have an unlimited supply of them. Rose petals were scattered everywhere, and Ranma was beginning to wonder if he’d be late for his first day of class. “Question, why roses?”
“Fool! Tuxedo Kamen, in the beautiful Sailor Moon’s hour of need, would distract the foe with a thrown rose, allowing her to deliver the final blow!”
“He also has a cool sword cane, thus the bokken I think.” Chibi-Usa commented.
“This meatball headed maiden speaks the truth.” Kuno said. “Imitating the noble man supporting such beautiful warriors is the true path to follow! Now, face my final attack! Tuxedo Bom-”
Then a panda landed on his head. Boy what are you doing! You can’t be late on your first day! A few drops began to fall from the sky, the sign flipped over. Also it’s raining! We can’t let your secret get out!
“I get what you’re saying Ami, but talking to Makoto I don’t think your girls are going to be involved in a ‘normal’ life.” Usagi said.
- Kuno begins to think Ranma’s a youma infesting the school
- *Haruka shows up, apparently she has a grudge against the Saotome’s because somebody has to.
- Word gets out that Ranma’s staying at the Tendo Dojo, chaos ensues.
- All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a new group of Youma emerge.
