The Request
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Akane Glared at team captain Nanako, her mouth open the retort dying as
her mind replayed what she had just heard. After a couple of seconds
Akane shut her mouth and waited she was finding it hard to believe this girl
and the four flanking her would ask for help.
Relations between herself and the Rythmic Gymnastic Weapons team had been
cold, to say the least, ever since the team captain had started making snide
public comments against Anything Goes and her fathers Dojo.
Finally after she had exhausted all other possible meanings Akane asked
"You really want me to take your team's place? In Rythmic Gymnastic Weapons?"
The Team captain looking like she was chewing rocks said "Yes we face Saint
Hebereke's team this weekend." When Akane's look of irritation and confusion
remained unchanged. Nanako rolled her eyes and said "Kodachi is a member
of that school's team."
Akane nodded her head and unsuccessfully fighting the urge to be condescending
said "Is that supposed to mean something?"
Nanako her fist clenched so tightly the skin was turning white said "Kodachi
Kuno, is the sister to Tatewiki Kuno she shares many characteristics of her
brother including a so called training trip to America."
Akane blinked in surprise and after a moment said"And she's still competing,
but isn't that illegal?". Akane watched as Nanako rolled her eyes and said
"I wish!" After a moment one of the other girls picked up the conversation
saying "It's the Kuno Lawyers, they have convinced the sports subcommittee
and for that matter the entire board of education that they can't risk making
a decision dealing with a Ultraman enhancement. They are going to
wait on the Olympic board of directors to make a decision and let them set
a precedent that will protect them from law suits."
The newest member of the team Aya spoke up saying "The board wouldn't forbid
her fighting, but they did relax the rules for the rest of the schools, they
will allow nearly anything, they even allow honorary team members to fight."
After a moment Aya prompted by a hard nudge clasped her hands together
and with a very pleading look said "Please you've fought her brother, would
you honor us and become a member of our team".
Akane remained silent partly in surprise, but mostly to enjoy the way
Nanako's face contorted as her most junior team member begged Akane for
help. Keeping an expression of indecision on her face Akane enjoyed the
show, she had already made up her mind, she wasn't Ranma to answer every
challenge and unlike the five people before her she had a good idea what
facing a person with a kryptonian enhancement meant.
She had watched or been part of training sessions involving her father's
students that where Ultramen of various levels and while it would have been
a challenge her experiences with the students, Ranma's female form and Tatewiki
had made it clear how dangerous such a thing was. They all pulled there
punches when fighting with her, Kuno pulled his punches even when fighting
Ranma, and painful experience had taught Akane that she had to be
careful even in punching back.
A smile ghosted across Akane's face as she remember Ranma's reaction
and how it irritated him when Nabiki had pointed out that Tatewiki was pulling
his punches more for his male form than Ranma's female form.
Nanako misinterpreted the almost smile as a smirk and interrupted her
team mate's pleas saying "Oh stop it Aya she has made her decision, she's
to cowardly to fight Ultra-black." Ignoring the clear whispers from two
of team members one saying "More likely she's just smart." the other saying
"I thought Kodachi had changed it to Ultra-Rose after her last victory?"
Nanako continued "Akane would you please tell us who and where that red
headed girl lives, you know the one that is better fighter than Ranma."
Nanako watched with in confusion as Akane dissolved into laughter finally
gaining control Akane looked at her and said "Tell you what, I'll contact
her and we will accept Honorary memberships".
Aya watched Akane laughing quietly as she headed for the first class
of the week and wondered what was so funny after a moment her conscious
twitching she tugged on Nanako's backpack and said "Shouldn't we have told
her what happened over at Graviton High School for Girls the week before
last, Bko still hasn't gotten out of the hospital they say she was burned
pretty badly when her suit's hydraulic's overloaded and if Sailor Moon hadn't
shown up and healed Sailor V over at Juuban this past weekend they would
have had to take her to the hospital as well."
Nanako whirled and glared at the team's junior member and hissed "Do
you want it to be us they carry out next weekend?" after a moment Aya Lowered
her head and in unison with the other three girls slowly shook her head before
turning and following the other three toward the first class of the week.
Hearing running feet Nanako paused turned and watched as a figure cleared
the school grounds outer wall landing several feet from her. The young
man paused for an instant to adjust his book bag shake off excess water and
glance at the clock before leaping to his classroom's window somehow balancing
on the ledge he banged on the window and a few moments later it opened allowing
him to slip inside.
Nanako stood staring at the now shut window, her anger and jealousy rising,
not only were the Tendo's responsible for an unending stream of foreigners,
but after teasing into a frenzy the richest boy in the school Akane had to
have the cutest boy in Japan handed to her on a silver platter. The final
bell rung and Nanako's eyes widened as she quickly turned for her home room
and the punishment that awaited her, her only consolation was the thought
that no matter what happened next weekend if the Ultra-idiot won Akane would
probably be crippled and if Akane won then her team would get the credit.
