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.
