| Banana Skins Chapter 3 Holy...CRAP! A/N: The plot is moving finally!!! Sanosuke and Yahiko were blushing, staring at Bra with glee. "You don't mind Kaoru?" Pan asked. "No, no, go ahead. I don't want you stuck here." Kaoru glared at Sanosuke and Yahiko. "Will you two stop staring at Bra-san and go help Kenshin!?" "Aww...Jou-chan, Kenshin's fine." "Yeah, he told us to keep you away from the kitchen busu." BAMN! They all leaned away as Kaoru knocked the boy almost unconcious with the dreaded bokken. "Dinner's ready de gozaru!" Kenshin walked to the porch, sakabatou still at his side...just in case. He blinked at the sight. "Kenshin-kun!" Bra exclaimed happily. Kaoru sent her a wide eyed glare as the other woman glomped the unsuspecting red-head. "ORO!?!" He looked wildly at Kaoru. Sano and Yahiko sigh. It was always the same story. Kenshin always get the pretty ones. "Bra! Let go of him! This is the nineteeth century! Not home where every other guy is fawning after you!!!" Pan pulled on her friend's kimono. "Oh fiiine!" Bra slowly let go of a shocked Kenshin, glaring at her friend. I'm just getting last dibs before we go." Kaoru's eye twitched. Yahiko leaned toward Sanosuke. "Looks like Busu's jealous." "I AM NOT!!!" And Yahiko went down again by the hand of the all mighty bokken. Kenshin laughed nervously. Trunks glared at his sister. "Get ready people..." "HOLD IT!" They all turned to Goten. "Don't we need to touch you or something?! I mean, what if we get left behind?! Tousan's teleport needed us to hold on to him..." "Calm down Goten. It's set to ki and DNA. And it also has a ten metre range. You'll be fine." Trunks reassured. Goten grinned. "Oh." "Did you understand a word of that Kenshin?" Sanosuke asked. Kenshin, who trying to avoid Kaoru's death glare, shook his head. "Let's get moving then!" Pan demanded. "I'm on it. Goodbye guys." Trunks smiled before clicking a button on his watch. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Eight high pitched screams filled the air. CRASH! "Ororororororororo..." Ten figures soaking wet were found in the koi pond. "Oh my." Kasumi exclaimed. "Can I just say, I HATE KOI PONDS!?!" A female voice, that wasn't the familar rants of a certain guy turned girl screamed, rising from the depths like wet rat. "WHAT THE HELL'S GOIN' ON HERE!?!" A red headed girl dragged herself up, white gi barely covering impressive curves. Very inventive cursing soon followed from two strange men. One with a weird colour of lavendar hair, the other resembling a rooster. "Kasumi, what's going....WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?! RAAAAANNNNMA!!!!!" A blue haired girl looked angrily at the red haired one. "Akane is wasn't me! I swear! These people came outta nowhere! Right old man? Hey Pop!" She turned to see a giant panda currently crushing someone under it's huge bulk. "Oh great." With an effective punch, the panda was knocked off. The black, spiky haired guy underneath gasped for breath. "Man am I going to feel that tomorrow." "ARGH!!!" The high pitched scream of a female in distress. A pretty aqua haired woman sulked out of the water, white flame incasing her body, and she was dry. Akane and Ranma blinked. A serene woman with a large pink bow santered from the water, gasping in obvious anger. A young boy with a bokken floated in the water, swirly eyed, next to a red haired man with a sword. There was another burst of ki as the first woman who had come out dried herself, advancing angrily toward the lavendar haired man. "Pan...it wasn't my fault..." "Prepare to meet your death BOXER BOY!!!" A fist struck his face, sending the guy to join the two others, swirly eyed in the water. "Father asks..." A short, brown haired woman leaned against the porch wall. "Well, well, what have you done NOW Ranma?" "IT AIN'T MY FAULT!!!" The small red headed girl said indignantly. Sanosuke spun and looked wildly around. "Well looky here, it's a dojo...OH MY...WHAT IN CHIKUSO IS THAT!?!" He stared with saucer like eyes at the sky, dominated by strange buildings, strange pavement on the roads he COULD see... "Mou..." The serene woman with the large green bow and peach kimono stared at the same thing the dark haired man was looking at. The pretty girl with the aqua hair looked around, shrugged and settled her eyes on on the four girls looking at them. "Hi. Gomen nasai. I'm Bra. How are ya?" The girls opened their mouths. "Before you ask, we came here by mistake. My brother is a jackass, who has NO idea what to do with a time/space/dimensional transporter and I am very pleased to meet you..." "Er...Ranma Saotome." "Kasumi Tendo." Said the soft voiced long haired brunette. "Akane Tendo." Nabiki smirked. "Nabiki Tendo. For five thousand yen we'll help you with the unconcious swirly guys." Bra's eyes lit up. "50 yen and you have a deal." The short haired brunette snorted. "That isn't worth my time." "Well THEY aren't worth my money. Deal?" "Akane, Ranma, get to it." Nabiki ordered. The red head shouted. "OI! WHO'RE YOU ORDERING ABOUT NABIKI!?!" "Just get them out of the pond Ranma." Akane was already pulling Yahiko out. "RAAAANMA!!! HELP ME!!!" "I'm COMING already." Bra held out her hand. "Nice to meet a challenge girlfriend." Nabiki smirked. "Likewise." "I will tell father." Kasumi walked inside. Pan looked at Kaoru. "What's wrong?" Sanosuke gaped at his surroundings. "Where ARE we!?" Pan shrugged. "What do you mean where are you? It's Japan. Where ELSE would you be?" Ranma suddenly remembered another lost...piggy, and thought better of continuing. She frowned, sensing their ki. Akane put laid the red haired samurai on the grass. "You're in Nermia Japan. Do you have a bad sense of direction too?" "No. What year is it?" Pan asked. Ranma gave her a weird look. "1996. Where have YOU been your whole life?" Pan glared at the girl. "Watch it there Red." "OI! Who you calling..." "RANMA! INSIDE! We'll let THEM explain this!" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ After while, introductions were made, and everyone crowded around the lounge table, Yahiko and Sanosuke staring at the box that emitted sounds and images in awe and fear, Kaoru sipping tea and chatting away with Akane and Pan, all three having a asoundingly alot in common, and Kenshin being stared at by Ranma *as a girl*, Soun and Gendo in shock. The New Gen sat around, Bra talking with Nabiki, Trunks working on the Transporter and Goten, eating. Kasumi passed around the tea. "How does it move?" Yahiko poked the screen with his bokken in distrust. Sanosuke shook his head. "It's haunted." "Yeah, like the TRAIN rooster head. I bet there's little people in there..." Yahiko then continued to explain how little people lived inside the box. "Whoa, I can't friggin believe it! It's actually YOU!!!" Kenshin looked uncomfortable under their stares. "What do you mean de gozaru ka?" "You're the guy that single handedly changed Japan! You're BATTOUSAI!!!" Kenshin instinctively held his sakabatou. "How do you know that de gozaru ka?" His voice held an edge. Ranma backed away. "You, my dear boy, am famous! If what that Trunks guy says is true, you are from the past! And YOU," Gendo's glasses glinted, "Are the legendary Hitokiri Battousai, the man that single handly changed japan!" "And supposed to be the last master of the technique of Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu." Soun cut in. "Sessha...is not that important de gozaru yo." Kenshin finished lamely. "Ranma, I have hot water..." Kasumi asked nicely. The red haired girl's eyes widened. "Kasumi noooooo...*his voice deepens with his change*...ooooooooo. AHHH!!!!" The room when deadly silent as everyone stared at him. Goten choked. "Dude! You're a GUY!!!" Ranma looked at everyone angrily. "NO ONE SPEAKS OF THIS!!!!" Kenshin's eyes widened. "Oro!" Sanosuke twitched. "The fact that you just turned from being a WOMAN to a MAN or the fact that it was extremely..." He suddered. "HEY! I'm a guy first!!!" "EWWWWWWWWW!!!!" Pan and Bra screamed. "You get used to it. He's a jerk female or male." Akane muttered. "But still, DUDE! You're a guy!" Goten screamed again. "What of it?" Ranma challenged. Goten and Trunks looked at each other. "We would like to ask you some questions..." Two huge mallets hit their heads, curtisy of Bra and Pan. Ranma sat down, sulking. "I DON'T WANT A WORD OF THIS DO YOU HEAR!?!" Some nods from the ones that could nod. "Pan, do you guys have a place to stay? You could sleep here." Akane asked. Pan shook her head. "We don't want to intrude. Right K-chan?" Kaoru bowed. "Hai, it was nice enough that you let us have dinner here. Especially with Sanosuke and Goten-san here." "Oh no, it's no problem! Stay! It's wrong of us to throw you guys on the streets!" "We don't..." Kaoru started. "No, no. Akane is right. As the master of this house, I wish you to stay here. We have a dojo you can sleep in." "Well, if you're sure..." Pan said. Sanosuke cut in. "Oh stop it. We are honored to stay Tendo. Just as long as I can watch the little people in the box." It took a few moments for them to realise he meant the tv. "Demo..." Kenshin coughed politely. "It isn't proper for men to sleep with women in the same room de gozaru yo." They all looked at each other. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Sanosuke, Yahiko and Kenshin sat in front of the 'tv' in wonderment, the sakabatou inches away from their futons. And as men go, they were watching wrestling. Ranma, the Gendo Panda, who they now realised was the man himself, were telling Trunks their story. Goten snored away with Soun in the furthest reaches of the dojo. Inside, Kaoru, Nabiki and Kasumi were being shown Bra's walk in capsule closet. Pan was fast asleep in one of Bra's pyjamas that were half decent in Akane's room. "How can all this fit in that pill?!" Akane asked. Bra smiled. "My grandfather invented this technology. Geniuses run in the family, not to mention beauty. K-chan, do you want to change out of that? It's kinda improper in this time..." Amazing how all those words can fit in one breath. Kaoru stared at her, then eagerly at the clothes, most looking untouched, and expensive, though far too improper. What would Kenshin think? *He would think you weren't the tomboy you are.* "Hai. May I?" Bra smiled. "Sure. Akane? Nabiki?" Her voice echoed in the closet. Muffled replies. Kaoru looked at the other woman. "I've been meaning to ask, can you not...flirt around Kenshin?" "Hm?" "Well...I..." Kaoru blushed. Bra's eyes widened. "Oh I'm sorry! I didn't know! Well, he is cute. I promise, no more hitting on him k?" "Arigato Bra-san." "Call me B-chan." "H-hai." "Bra...B-chan, how old are you?" Bra looked at the other woman in surprise. "Seventeen. Why? Pan-chan's the as me age as me." "Mou, we're all the same age. Even Akane-san." "Hm...strange."
