Chapter Five: The Fight With Mu Tsu, The Master of Hidden Weapons

++++++++++

Kaneda stared at beautiful girl from the corner of his eyes. He may never admit it out loud and especially to her but...Saotome Ranko was very cute. Practically every action of hers was cute. A slight blush formed on his face as he thought back to how they had met on the first day. She was also very...endowed. He mentally slapped himself for being a pervert. She was right that day when he walked in on her. Kaneda no hentai.

He sighed as she chatted cheerfully with his new problem. Xian Pu of Joketsuzoku, or Shampoo his fiancee. Shampoo wasn't any less beautiful than Ranko and she was a very talented martial artist. Better than him he had to admit. She had extremely long hair like Ranko but instead of her hair being red it was purple. Her choice of attire when she first arrived would make any male form a nosebleed.

Luckily Ranko and Kasumi had disapproved of her less than decent tight fitting dresses and so Shampoo was left with less than ten outfits that passed their examination. She had disagreed for a while but when Ranko promised to take her shopping soon, her arguments stopped.

Now even though she was not plastered all over him anymore, she was still around him all the time. He found out from Ranko that Shampoo was to attend Furinkan High with them. He was less than excited while Ranko jumped up in joy.

Currently, both Shampoo and Ranko were wearing the Furinkan High uniform and eating each other's bentos. They had been making delicious lunches that rivaled Kasumi's and switched them at lunch everyday.

He sighed again and resumed eating the delicious meal Kasumi prepared for him.

++++++++

"Is that so?" Ranko giggled. Shampoo got an indignant look on her face.

"Of course! I am the best Amazon of my generation!" She yelled in mock anger. A few seconds of staring at the giggling martial artist she couldn't help but giggle too.

"Hehehe...huh." Suddenly Shampoo stopped and her eyes narrowed. "Great!" She said irritated.

Ranko blinked. "Huh?" A stranger jumped over the wall of the school and landed next to them.

"Xian Pu." She stared at the tall boy. He had long black hair that fell to his waist and wore long white robes. His eyes were a dark brown and it was obvious by his attire that he was Chinese.

She giggled. "Excuse me but I am not Xian Pu." So, she thought inwardly, this is the annoyance Shampoo had told her about.

His face got confused and he pulled out a pair of thick glasses. "Oh, sorry miss." He turned to Shampoo and grinned. "Xian Pu, my love!" He then proceeded to glomp on her but Xian Pu leapt out of his grasp.

"Stupid Mu Tsu! I am not your love!" She growled indignant before running over to Kaneda. "Besides," she added smirking, "Kaneda is my fiancé!"

Both Kaneda and Mousse's jaw dropped. They both had similar reactions but for different reasons.

Kaneda stared, jaw agape at his 'fiancee.' How could she just yell that in front of the whole school? Now everyone would think that he was a womanizing bastard since they all believed that Ranko was his fiancee.

Mousse glowed a dark red. "FIANCE?!" He glared at Kaneda. "How dare you steal my love?!"

To everyone's amazement, except Shampoo's, he pulled out several heavy chains and threw it at Kaneda. Kaneda growled and barely dodged the chains.

Shampoo whacked the Amazon boy with her bonbori. "Stay away from him! He's a better martial artist than you will ever be! And handsome to boot!" She yelled at her unwanted follower.

Ranko sweatdropped. Shampoo was sure exaggerating. Kaneda may have been a bit above average but he was had no chance against Mousse. She could tell that despite Mousse's infatuation with Shampoo and his bad eyesight, he was still a formidable martial artist.

"Uh.." Kaneda said as Shampoo started to get too close to his comfort; the fact that Mousse was glaring at him helped too.

Ranko decided to take pity on Kaneda and stepped in front of him and her friend. "Excuse me, Mousse. It's not really Kaneda's fault. He just accidentally defeated Sham-chan. Take it easy, okay?"

He suddenly noticed the girl's appearance. She was beautiful...he shook his head and berated himself for noticing any other girl than Shampoo. A gleam got in his eyes as he glanced from the redhead to his nemesis. He grinned evilly. "What is your name?" He questioned Kaneda.

"Tendo Kaneda." He said uncertainly.

"Tendo Kaneda I challenge you to a martial artist battle and if you lose then I will take away the one you care for.." He pointed to Ranko. "Her!"

Ranko's jaw dropped. Kaneda growled and then smirked arrogantly. "Fine! I accept you-" Both Ranko and Shampoo slapped him upside the head with their bonboris.

"Baka." Ranko glared at Kaneda then switched it to Mousse. "He isn't going to bet anyone, especially not me. As for using me, an Amazon, as a prize...I challenge you!"

Mousse frowned. "Amazon? I challenged Kaneda anyway."

Ranko smirked. "I am Elder Khulong's adopted great-granddaughter. An Amazon does not let a mere male bet her as a prize. I challenge you and if I win then you will teach me your Hidden Weapons technique."

The Amazon boy sighed, giving in. "Alright..and if I win?"

"Then I will marry you." She said, her mouth forming a thin line.

Shampoo and the whole student body gasped.

++++++++

"That baka!" Ranko yelled as she sparred intensively with her 'sister.' "Sham-chan, I can't believe he was actually going to bet me like that! I'm not even his fiancee!"

Shampoo nodded grimly as she continued to exchange blows with Ranko at inhuman speeds. She had a feeling that although Ranko did not consider Kaneda her fiancé, Kaneda did consider Ranko his. It was all so obvious. The way he bet her off and his attitude towards her. He would always insult Ranko but when he thought no one was looking, he would glance at her and blush.

"I am going to kick his butt!!"

For a brief moment Shampoo actually felt sorry for Mousse. It seemed that the poor idiot was really going to get it now.

+++++++++

The following day Ranko went with the Tendos and her father to the location of the fight. Ranko steamed slightly as she saw a huge ring in the middle of the park with what seemed like the whole Furinkan High student body gathered. Mousse stood in the ring in his robes with his hands crossed. His glasses were on his head and he was smirking confidently.

The nerve of him, thought Ranko. First he makes me like a prize to be won and now he makes our fight like a circus performance. "Mousse, prepare to lose." Ranko said calmly as she jumped into the ring. She sweatdropped as he turned away from her and started talking.

"I do not intend to lose Ranko Saotome. Although you may be Cologne's adopted daughter, I have still been an Amazon far longer than you have been."

"Baka." She muttered. She went over to him and pushed his glasses down. "Idiot who do you think you are talking to? Wear your glasses for kami's sakes!"

He turned around. "Oh."

Ranko got into a battle stance. "Let the fight begin, male." She smirked as his eyes narrowed.

"I will defeat you." With that said he rushed forward with a kick, which she leapt over. He turned around quickly throwing a dozen daggers at her. She stood there and as the daggers neared her, her hands blurred. When she stopped she had a dozen daggers in her arms. She threw them back.

Mousse did not disappoint her when he just intercepted the daggers and hid them away. She grinned as they started to up the pace.

It seems that there is another formidable martial artist in town.

++++++++++

"Hmm..interesting." Cologne murmured as she watches the fight between her 'great-granddaughter' and the blind boy.

"What?" Shampoo asked confused as she turned away from the fight.

Cologne smiled slightly. "It seems that we have underestimated Mousse, he is more skillful than we take him for."

The purple haired girl frowned. "Maybe but he is still a lovesick puppy." She glanced at her longhaired unwanted suitor, her frown increasing. She blinked as she remembered something. "Oh, great-grandmother I remember what we forgot!"

Cologne turned her head in interest. "And what is it?"

She grinned holding up a small jug. "This! A jug of nyannichuan!"

++++++++

Good, Ranko thought as her opponent continued to send a variety of dangerous weapons at her.

Mousse frowned slightly but smirked evilly as he spotted a jug at the corner of his eye. He swung out a long chain and grabbed it out of Shampoo's hand, causing her to yell in surprise.

Ranko narrowed her eyes as he flung the jug at her and dodged out of the way. Her eyes widened as it flew towards the unsuspecting Kaneda. "Kaneda!" She yelled.

Kaneda turned confused only to have the jug smash him in the face splashing him with its content.

All the jaws of those present dropped as the tall blue-haired boy turned into a beautiful but wet blue-haired girl.

++++++++

End Chapter Five.
