Sister School Disclaimer: The answer to the great question is 42, I did the math. Chapter 5: The Next Suitor The next week went by pretty well for the 'new girls'. Eve had almost fully mastered the Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken with swords. Ranma had fully mastered it and showed it off during a sparring match with Shampoo. Mousse helped Eve with the concealed weapons technique. While she couldn't fit the ridiculously large amount of chains and hooks Mousse had in his robe, she was able to sheath her swords so no one could see them. This made it better for when she got into a fight at school. The only real gripe they had during the week was, drumroll please, Kuno. The man openly declared his love to both Ranma and Eve after school one day. This meant that he would try to glomp three girls at a time every morning. The resulting punting into the stratosphere would not convince him it was a bad idea. Shampoo wasn't doing that well in school either, on her first day almost every guy in school tried hitting on her, didn't go so well. "Shampoo no date you, you must first beat Shampoo in battle. That Amazon rule." All of the guys, having learned their lesson from Akane, ran away from her. The next day, Nodoka found a strange package in the mail. She walked into her daughters' room where they were just doing each others' nails. The proud mother couldn't help but to laugh at this oddity. They both looked up, "Hey mom, what's up?" Eve asked. "Well, this package came in the mail for Ranma." Ranma took the box. Inside was an okonomiyaki, and on that was a message written in sauce. "That's weird, you'd think they would just write a letter or something." Eve said. "What does it say dear?" Nodoka asked. "It says: Ranma, I know where you are and I challenge you to a fight. You'll know who I am soon enough." The next day at school everyone was sitting in class like normal. Then the teacher announced, "Class we have a new student today. Please help me welcome Ukyo Kuonji." Ukyo was a tall boy with long brown hair that he had tied in a ponytail. He was wearing a boy's uniform like normal, but he also had a bandoleer around his shoulder. What was also weird was that there were a bunch of spatulas on the bandoleer. On his back was one gigantic spatula that looked like it was used as a weapon. "Ukyo, is there something you would like to tell the class about yourself?" "Yes sensei, I'm training to be the greatest okonomiyaki chef in history, and my family is studying martial arts okonomiyaki making." he said in a high voice. "You can do martial arts out of cooking?" Eve asked. Ukyo nodded, "Yes, and right now I'm looking to challenge someone. A mister Ranma Saotome." Ranma raised her hand, "I'm right here. So you sent that threat to me?" "No, I sent it to Ranma Saotome. He's about my age, has black hair, studies martial arts." 'Ukyo, where have I heard that name before?' Eve thought. It suddenly hit her, Ukyo was their friend from when they were kids. Eve jumped in excitement and hugged Ukyo, "Ucchan, I can't believe I didn't recognize you!" "Um, I'm sorry miss, but who are you?" "Um, yeah, Ucchan, I think we should explain this after class." When class ended the two sisters brought Ukyo to the back of the school. "Okay, so who are you two? I've never met you before." Ukyo said. "You wanna start again?" Ranma asked. "Nah, I've explained to enough people, you do it." Ranma sighed, "Ukyo, I really am Ranma, and this is Adam." "What? You can't be them. Ranma and Adam are boys." "It's true Ucchan, it's us, Ranchan and Adchan." Ukyo gasped, only her best friends would have that pet name. "I don't believe it, what happened to you two." "Well, we went to China..." the springs, the panda, the amazon, everything explained. "So, why did you challenge me Ucchan?" Ranma asked. "Well, it doesn't matter now, but it was because your father ran off with my family's cart and left me on the side of the road." "I remember that. You ran after us crying that we were supposed to take us with you." Eve said. "That's because our dads agreed for us to be married, the cart was a dowry." "Married? Why would we be married if we were both boys?" Ranma asked. "You idiot, I'm a girl!" Ukyo shouted at them. "Yeah, Ranma, I don't understand how you didn't know that." Eve said. She knew from the beginning that Ukyo was a girl, but Ranma couldn't get it through her thick skull. "So, what are you gonna do now Ucchan?" Ranma asked. "Well, I gave up my womanhood to train in the arts. I was planning on opening my own restaurant. But, for now, I forgive you both for what happened." "Cause we're both girls?" Eve asked. "No, because your stupid dad was the one who abandoned me, and I know you two wouldn't do that." So Ukyo joined the group of teenage martial artists. She and Eve were the most fit to spar with each other since they both used weapons. Ukyo also opened her own restaurant in town. She called it Ucchan's and all of the students went there after school. Ukyo asked the other four girls if they wanted to be waitresses. Three out of the four said no, guess who said yes. Let's put it this way, when Eve hears someone say, "But you're so good at being a waitress." she's complied to do it. She cursed her habit of doing something under compliment, but she was just glad that Ranma didn't notice this trait. So everyday Eve waited tables at Ucchan's in a flowery kimono, a very embarrassing flowery kimono. Things were picking up for the Amazons too. Shampoo served as eye candy for a lot of the customers so business picked up on that side of town too. Things went pretty well for the, I just gonna call them the Nerima Wrecking Crew, the NWC despite some intrusions, or just one intrusion. A prime example would be when Eve was working and Ranma was eating some as usual. The door opens and the three working girls hear, "Ah, if it isn't the fair Ranma and Eve Saotome. Come to me my loves! I burn for thee!" Several gashes were seen on Kuno's face the next day. Even though Ukyo said she was okay with everything, Eve could see the sadness behind her eyes. This was one of her skills, noticing human emotions. Akane could see this too. Everyday Ukyo hung her head more and more in depression. "Hey, Ukyo are you okay?" Eve asked. "I'm fine Eve, really." "No you're not. You're still depressed because you can't marry Ranma. This must be the end of the world to you." Ukyo nodded and started crying. "I gave up my womanhood to be a great martial artist. Then I could confront Ranma and now...now I can't even restore my family honor." "I'm sure you'll find a way. Um, this might sound creepy, but did you ever consider...the other team?" "You mean...that...well, since I found out about you two I might have considered it. Are you...you know..." "Well, I haven't been attracted to men since I got cursed, so maybe. If I find someone who I like, I don't care if it's male or female." "You're much stronger than I could ever be Eve." "No, you're strong. You sacrificed everything just to fulfill a family promise. If that's not strength, I don't know what is." The next day Eve tried to make Ukyo feel better by taking her out for the day. Akane and Ranma went with them. It was a hot day and they decided to get ice cream, meaning that Ranma decided to get ice cream. Eve thought ice cream was a good treat, but Ranma was an addict, and Eve wondered if there was an ICA meeting she could take her sister to. It didn't help when she actually ordered it. "I threw in an extra scoop, cause you gotta nice face." "Oh yay! Thanks mister!" Ranma said. She was laying the 'adorable girl' bit pretty thick. They walked down the street enjoying their ice cream. Then they heard a scream from somewhere. It came from over the fence next to them. On the other side, a tall girl with black hair that she had in a ponytail to the side, was surrounded by a bunch of girls wearing Furinkan High gym uniforms. The girls looked like they were really hurt, the tall girl was holding what looked like a gymnastics ribbon. "Now we end this!" she yelled out. She lashed her ribbon at the girls but Ranma caught it. "Hey, don't you think they've had enough?" she said. "You stopped my ribbon, that's never been done before. You're no ordinary girl." "I guess you could say that." "Well, you haven't seen the last of me. You may call me Kodachi, I'm known as the Black Rose of St. Hebereke School for girls." She laughed maniacally as she hopped away. "What a freak." Eve said. The group then looked down at the group of girls who were all crying. "Hey, come on. She's not gonna hurt you no more." Ranma said. They took everyone back to the Tendo Dojo. In Akane's room they explained what happened. "That Kodachi girl ambushed us so we couldn't compete." "Compete?" Akane asked. "Yes, Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics. We don't have any other people who can replace us." Akane looked at Ranma and Eve with a interested look on her face. "No!" they both said. "Come on Ranchan, you're great with martial arts." Ukyo said. 'Thank god she's not complimenting me' Eve thought. "No way! Gymnastics are for girls!" Ranma yelled, forgetting that she had certain mannerisms that a boy wouldn't have. "Um, Ranma, you are a girl." one of the other girls said. "Eve, why don't you compete?" Akane asked. 'Oh no, please don't go there.' "Um, I'd rather not Akane. If that's alright." "But you're so good with weapons, and you use those in the tournament." 'DAMN IT!' she thought. Eve then sighed and said, "Okay, I'll do it." End of Chapter 5
