aaargh!!! GOMEN!!! my god... somebody just e-mailed and told me to check out
the names... the problem is, i *did* run it thru the spell checker! that's
why the name's are all spelled wrong!! (i was sleepy while doing this,
must've been clicking on the change button instead of ignore...) i'm so
sorry... *hangs head in shame* thanks to TJ! ^_^;;;;;;
i will now avoid using the spell checker late at night!
GOMEN NASAI!!!!!!!!!!
now to check the other parts of the fic... *sob* ugh, keno and akin! yuk...
natsu-chan
author's notes:
this fic is actually just one long one, but I can't seem to send it one
piece, so I had to mail it in little ones... gomen! ^_^; anyway, this fic
was a little idea I had while reading the lyric of "the Ballad of Ranma and
Akane"...
Here's the lyrics of The Ballad of Ranma and Akane...
Ranma: When you smile, you're cute, you know
For a while, why not let your pride go?
Akane: When it comes to being stubborn
Yes, it's true, we're both guilty of pretending
R and A: A couple engaged by meddling parents
At least that's how it was at first
And then before we knew it love had grown
How could we have ever known?
Ranma: I'm no good at feelings, or stuff like that
Akane: It's not just you, it's me too... we're clumsy at love
Ranma: Today I can't seem to meet your gaze
Akane: In my whole life I've not felt this way before
R and A: Can't say it aloud, let's just keep it quiet for now
Without words, your hand in mine's enough
Men: I'm no good at feelings, or stuff like that
Women: It's not just you, it's me too... we're clumsy at love
Men: Today I can't seem to meet your gaze
Women: In my whole life I've not felt this way before
R and A: Can't say it aloud, let's just keep it quiet for now
Ranma: Without words, your hand in mine's enough...
Akane: Without words, your hand in mine's enough...
this is the first shot I've ever taken at writing a fanfic, so I hope
you'll
bear with it! as usual, c&c are welcome. (pls be gentle, though!) ^^
for Japanese translations, refer to notes below.
disclaimer:
Ranma 1/2 is owned by Rumiko Takahashi, not by me, so it would be pretty
useless to actually consider suing me, since I'm just a h.s student and i
am
totally broke!!
thanks a million to Eric, who pointed out all my mistakes, typos, and
helped
improved all the lame scenes!

Can't Say It Aloud
by Natsu-chan
----------------------------
[The shrill of the school bell pierces thru the quiet air on a breezy
afternoon. Students spill out of the gates eagerly. A strong, proud voice
is
heard over the din.]
Voice:
So, you've come to meet your fate, Saotome!
Akane:
(shakes head in disbelief) Uso... not again!
[Kuno raises his bokken and strikes it against the ground dramatically.
Unfortunately, Kuno's choice of strike hits an underground water pipe.]
Nabiki:
(amused) // he still wants to fight after this morning? My, my... quite the
Energizer bunny, isn't he? Oh, well... my profit. //
[Kuno spots a glimpse of Ranko as the water that burst from the pipe
decreases]
Kuno:
My goddess! Thoust are such a beauty among such peasants! How fare you, my
love? (glomps Ranko)
[Ranko grabs him by his shoulders and shoves him away]
Kuno:
My goddess! I am pleased to see you show your passion for me. You truly
love
me!
Ranko:
(outraged) PASSION?!?! LOVE?!?!
Kuno:
Ah, hear her scream her love for me! Your joy in my presence is but
ill-disguised, for which I am pleased to see. But please, not so loud, for
I
fear for Akane's tender feelings. But, my love, my heart pounds in ecstasy
as your fiery-flamed hair shines around you like a halo, an angel-
[Alas, Kuno is interrupted as a dainty foot buries itself in his face. He
is
temporarily unconcious.]
Ranko:
Urasai, bakamon! (shakes head) Kuso... that stupid hentai's getting more
tenacious everyday.
Voice:
Pssst!
Ranko:
Eh? (turns and spots Nabiki)
Nabiki:
(holds a glass of hot water) (singsong voice) Oh Ran-ma...
[Ranko dives forward eagerly]
Nabiki:
(holds glass out of Ranko's reach) Nabiki Express. We aim to please. Of
course,
you _will_ have to pay for it.
Ranko:
(eyes her warily) What if I don't want to?
Nabiki:
(shrugs) Oh, well. Don't. By the way, Kuno's gonna wake up in, say, a
minute
or so. Of course, you probably don't mind being glomped by him, soo...
matte
ne!
Ranko:
Wait! (Nabiki reappears) How much?
Nabiki:
(smiles) Since you're Akane's iinazuke, I'll give it to you for 500 yen.
[Ranma make sounds of protest but still reluctantly hands over the money.]
Nabiki:
Nice doing business with you, Ran. (walks away)
Rank:
What-
Ran:
-ever.
[Keno rouses , disoriented, and spots Ranma]
Keno:
Spawn of evil! Where have you hidden my goddess in pig tails?
Ran:
(rolls his eyes) G'way, Keno. The pig-tailed girl wants nothing to do with
you.
Akin:
(shakes head) Here it comes. // Ran no bake... //
Keno:
(waves booked threateningly) That's Keno-simper to you, peasant! I will
save
the fair Akin & the pig-tailed girl from your black magic, enslave of
women!
Akin:
Keno, where in Kamei's name did you get the idea that we're... well,
'enslaved'?
Keno:
Do not try to defend the blackguard, lovely Akin! (pauses dramatically) I
know what horrors you, the pig-tailed girl and the other women are going
through!
SCENE IMAGE:
[Akin, Rank, Shampoo, Ukyo and Kodachi are bowing to an
evil-looking
Ran, who is carrying a whip]
Shampoo:
(fearfully) Aiyah, airen, forgive us! We no mean to go out of
house!
Ukyo:
(kow-towing) Please, Ran-chan, forgive us!
All 5 girls:
GOMEN! GOMEN! (kow-towing)
Ranma:
(evilly) Urasai! Now take off your clothes! (cracks whip)
MUWA-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!
[scene fades with sobbing and continuos evil laughter]
Kuno:
(strikes a pose, dramatic) So you see!
[Massive facefault]
Ranma:
(gets up angrily) Chigau! K-kisama-!
Kuno:
Do not deny it! They suffer under a spell you have cast, deviant! Now my
own
twisted sister, the Chinese amazon and Ukyo Kounji openly lusting after you
is something I could possibly let pass, but to entrap the 2 fair goddesses
is fairly beyond greed! 'Tis pure evil!
Student 11:
That Kuno-sempai's really gone and fell off the yatai one _too many_
times,
if you ask me. Can't imagine Akane bowing to Ranma.
Student 12:
(nods) Those girls of Ranma are too strong for him. Maybe that's why
Ranma's
so fit... with all that exercise with them in bed. (student 11 emphatically
nods) I bet you they even--
[Student 12 is cut off when a foot is planted directly in his face]
Akane:
Ussee na! Buta!
Student 11:
(nods again) Sou... sou... Ranma probably does get a lot of exercise in
bed...
(natsuki: very stupid boy, he is. : p )
[A bokken imbeds itself in the student's face and he is sent flying by a
black-slippered
foot jammed into his solar plexus]
Student 11:
(flying) Iteeee...!
Kuno:
I will not permit such peasants to soil your pureness, my love! (raises
bokken) Now, I shall smite thee, evil sorcerer!
[Kuno swings his bokken. Ranma dodges easily]
Ranma:
(taunts) Is that it? Just a couple o' swings? Man, I can do better 'an
that!
Bii-da!
Kuno:
Hold still, damn you to hell!
Voice:
Excuse me, could you tell me where Furinkan High is?
[Only Akane turns and she spots Ryoga talking to a student]
Akane:
Ryoga! Where've you been?
Ryoga:
(blushing) A-akane!
[Ranma is suddenly distracted when a whirl of black petals seem to surround
them.]
Voice:
Ranma-sama! I am here!
[Kuno, noticing Ranma is distracted, takes the chance & slams his bokken
into Ranma's chest, sending him crashing into the school wall.]
Ranma:
(springs out of wall and shakes dust off) Hey, no fair!
Kuno!
Silence! Stop acting like a simpering female & fight me, Saotome!
Ranma:
Bakamon! I'm no girl! (starts to glow with his ki)
Akane and Ryoga:
Uh-oh.
Kodachi:
(gracefully lands beside Ryoga) Really, brother dear, I wish you'd stop
fighting with my Ranma. You'll never win. He's too much of a man for you...
Ranma:
(furiously) I ain't no girl! You take that back, Kuno!
[Kuno futilely swings his bokken at Ranma. Akane watches as Ranma grabs the
bokken and snaps it into half. Soon she sees Kuno slam into a tree. He
struggles
to stand, barely concious]
Ranma:
(disgusted) You never learn, do you? Forget it. Come on, Akane.
[Ryoga and Kodachi follows them]
Kodachi:
Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho! Ranma darling, accept my gift! (whips out a bouquet of
black roses)
[Ranma tries to shove the bouquet away but is too late. He inhales the
perfume and collapses, temporarily paralyzed.]
Akane:
// Baka, serves him right. // (glares at Kodachi) What are you doing here,
anyway, Kodachi?
Kodachi:
(sniffs disdainfully) The beautiful Black Rose ignores trivial matters when
she hears her Ranma darling longingly call out to her. Fear not, my
darling,
the powder is little in amount, you will surely be able to rise and bestow
upon me a kiss in but a few minutes.
[Ranma sweatdrops]
Voice:
Airen, what girl do to you?
[Ranma is unable to answer since he's still paralyzed]
Shampoo:
Aiya, Ranma, why you no move? Shampoo help, yes?
[Shampoo approaches Ranma but is stopped by Kodachi]
Kodachi:
Don't you dare touch him, you hussy!
Akane:
// Look at them... fighting with each other just to get an insensitive baka
like Ranma... hmmph, really. And Ranma... just lying there and waiting for
one of them to hold him! Hentai! //
2nd Voice:
Sugar, what are you doing on the ground? Daijoube desuka?
Kodachi:
This is none of your business, harridan!
[Everyone except Ranma turns and spots Ukyo]
[Soon all 3 girls engage in combat, while Ryoga, smirking, stands by
Ranma's
paralyzed body]
Ryoga:
Heh. I should beat you up right now, but then it wouldn't be honorable.
(nudges Ranma's body with his foot) He he.
Ranma:
(glares at Ryoga) // Kono buta. //
[A minute later Ranma springs up and faces Ryoga]
Ranma:
Listen, bacon breath, next time don't try to do me any favors- urk!
[Shampoo glomps onto his left arm and Ukyo glomps his right. Kodachi starts
to grab his waist and results to a _very_ painful tug-of-war. Akane glowers
with anger and stomps forward]
[Ryoga considers on beating Ranma senseless for shamelessly flirting in
front of Akane when he spied Akane's furious battle aura]
Ryoga:
(leans against the wall and grins) // Oh, you're going to get what you
deserve, Ranma... //
Ukyo:
Let go of my Ran-chan! (tugs)
Kodachi:
Release my Ranma-sama, peasant! (tugs)
Shampoo:
Both let go of Airen! Now, Shampoo say! (tugs really hard)
Ryoga:
(taunting) Why don't you tell them who you really want, Ranma?
Akane:
(raises mallet) RANMA NO BAKA!!
Ranma:
Uh-oh. (struggles against the 3 girls holding him)
[Shampoo kick Akane's hammer upwards, and the girls' grip on Ranma
slackens.
He quickly jumps away. The blow intended for Ranma crashes into Kodachi
instead. She crumples onto the ground, unconcious.]
Shampoo:
Heh, ribbon girl so stupid. (glomps onto Ranma again) Airen, Shampoo bring
you sho-su-men and niku dango! Special lunch, just for you!
[Akane's eyes narrow and Ranma glances at her uneasily, but his eyes light
up as he spots the take-out box of Shampoo]
Ranma:
Shampoo, I-
[a tiny spatula lands near Shampoo's feet]
Ranma:
Eh...?
Ukyo:
(indignant) Get your paws off him, you Chinese hussy!
Shampoo:
(presses herself closer to Ranma) Go away, spatula girl! Ranma no like you!
Ukyo:
(ignores Shampoo) Ranma honey, I brought your favorite okonomiyaki! Pork!
(we see Ryoga pale here) Here, have some!
Shampoo:
No, Ranma eat food Shampoo make for him! Is better than fatty food stupid
girl make!
[Both hold out dishes to him. Ranma's mouth waters, foolishly ignoring
Akane's warning glare]
Ranma:
I don't know. They both look so good to me. What d'ya think, Ryo-
Akane:
(whips out her mallet again) RANMA, you jerk! (_smash!__)
Ryoga:
Hmmph. You had that coming, Ranma.
Ranma:
Can it, pig boy! (rubs head in pain)
Ryoga:
Ranma, KOROSU!!!
[2 starts fighting]
Shampoo:
Violent tomboy! Why you hit Ranma like that?
Kodachi:
awakens) Ugh... that... girl hit my darling?
Ukyo and Akane:
Damare, Kodachi.
Kodachi:
Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho! You dare speak that way to the Black Rose!
Ukyo:
I'd dare a lot more than that, you wierdo!
[girls start fighting]
Voice:
Excuse me... hello? Am I interrupting something?
[girls ignore her as Ukyo pulls out her large spatula from her back,
Kodachi
twirling her ribbon menacingly, while Shampoo and Akane whip out their
respective weapons out of thin air]
Voice:
Ano... (louder) hello?
[Ranma and Ryoga stop fighting]
Ranma:
Dare da? // that voice... it sounded so much like... //
Ryoga and Ranma:
NATSUKI!!
[All the girls stop and gape as Ranma hugs a small, green-eyed,
yellow-haired buxom girl, who has a body that rivals Shampoo's]
Akane and Ukyo:
Who are _you_?
=========
ano: er... chigau!: that's not true!
dare da: who's there chikuso/kuso: damn
kisama: you (rudely) kono buta: you pig (rudely)
mazui: this is bad daijoube desuka: are you all right?
sou, sou: that's right taihen da / ikkenai: oh no
uso: no way ussee na: shut up, will you?
youshi: all right! urasai / damare: shut up
kawaisou :poor thing
