Everything you know is wrong
Part 6: What caused the school to catch on fire?
By: Kaemon

Ranma-chan yawned as she opened her eyes; it had been a rather good night because as far as she could tell nothing had tried molesting her while sleeping. At that moment, she noticed a small black pig was curled up asleep on her chest, and Akane was on the other side of her with, as Ranma-chan suddenly realized much to her discomfort, her hand inside of Ranma-chan's underwear. At this point, her eye began to twitch. "Get out!"

"This is so your fault." Akane said as she flew through the air next to Ryouga, after having been thrown out of Ranma-chan's window.

'Quit blaming me for your problems.' His small sign read.

Akane then reached out and began strangling the small pig, "Who are you to blame me for my problems!"

Slowly she cracked the door open, and after confirming no one was in the hallway she quickly dashed from the bathroom to her room, wearing a robe of course, locking the door behind her. Ranma-chan quickly went over to her dresser and started to remove her normal clothing for the day, when suddenly her door fell apart, Kasumi obviously the one to blame. "Hey! Haven't you ever heard of knocking!" Ranma-chan yelled to the sword wielding maniac at the doorway, also known was Kasumi Tendo.

"I did knock." Kasumi said innocently.

"No you didn't! I would have heard it!" Ranma-chan argued back.

The same cruel smirk Kasumi tended to have recently appeared, "Of course I knocked! I came out of my room, knocked three times on Nabiki's door, then came over here and forcefully entered."

Ranma-chan stood there dumbfounded for a few seconds, "That doesn't count! Not at all! Why are you here anyway?"

"On the back side of the contract it said I get to choose what you wear everyday." She then pulled out the said contract and turned it over, revealing another wall of text. She then threw some clothing at Ranma-chan, "See ya downstairs."

"I'll get you back someday." The red head vowed as she began to change.

Moments later Ranma-chan was walking through the hallway, now adorned in the clothing Kasumi gave her. The clothing was nothing horrible, it was actually rather modest and something that one might normally see on a girl, but to Ranma-chan this was a serious offence.

"Oh Ranma, have you seen Akane anywhere this morning?" Mr. Tendo asked as he stuck his head out of his room.

Ranma-chan considered telling him that the launched his daughter out of her window, but quickly decided against it, "Nope, can't say I have."

Akane carried Ryouga, holding him by his bandana, out of the butcher shop. "Ha! Who's the one with mental trauma now!"

Ranma-chan sat down at the breakfast table, noting that Akane was still absent from the house. "I don't think I threw them that far away…" She contemplated as she began to eat the breakfast the ever timid Nabiki had put in front of them. "Though I still need to get to china." She muttered aloud, not on purpose of course.

"Going to china, eh?" Genma, who was sitting by his sometimes daughter, "How much is it going to cost?"

"Wonder what he's up to now…" She suspected him of something; she just didn't know what to suspect him of. "About Eighty four thousand yen for one person."

Genma nodded, then reached into his pocked and procured his wallet from his back pocket; this surprised Ranma-chan because Genma usually lacked money so he rarely kept a wallet. He then reached inside of the wallet and pulled out a small stack of bills, and proceeded to count them out till he reached Ninety thousand. He then sat them down on the table and turned to Ranma-chan, "Is this the amount you need?"

Ranma-chan sat there, dumbfounded that her father had money, let alone this much. "Ye-yeah… it is."

Genma then placed his hand onto her shoulder, "Ranma, my aquatransexual gender confused fiancé abused sometimes son sometimes daughter."

"Uhh, yes?" She was now mildly shocked by the way he was acting.

"Get a job." He directly stated then grabbed the money and put it back into his wallet.

'Screw you old man! You're no help here!" She stood up from the table and stomped her way up the stairs, and back into her room.

Genma slowly took a sip of his drink, "You know, she would be a lot more threatening if she wasn't so cute all the time."

Ranma-chan sat herself down onto the sleeping mat, "I swear, the one time that old fart could actually be of some good to me and he tells me to get a job! How the heck do I do that when I got all these crazy people after me everyday?" She sighed, there was nothing else she could do, and she had to do it. "But, where in the world can I get a job? I could have worked at Ukyou's place, but now that's rather out of the question, and no matter what personality they have I am never working with those Amazons!"

"I'll help you get the money Ranma!" Two voices chimed out in unison, "I'll work with you and help get enough money to go! On one condition! I get to go as well!" Akane and Ryouga then stopped talking and started growling at each other.

Ranma-chan blinked at the sight of the spectacle before her, "Wait, I can understand Ryouga, but why you Akane?"

"Because I must always assist my much loved fiancé in everything she does!" She chirped, "And to miss out on being alone with you in China? No way!"

"So, any plans on what to do?" Ranma-chan asked the two.

"I got one!" Akane said, confidence in her voice, "This plan will surely work, and with our skills, it won't be any problem at all!"

It was now two in the morning and for some reason all the lights in the street were off, but this is where Akane said to meet here, "It was her plan anyway, why go against her?" Ranma-chan thought was she and Ryouga went through the darkened streets. Seconds later Ranma-chan bumped into something soft, a person to be exact. "Oh, sorry, I di-" It was at that moment she realized it was Akane, it wasn't that Akane made any noise, it was the fact that there was now a distinctly female hand up her shirt and it was now molesting the side of her breast. "Stop that Akane!" Ranma-chan quietly shrieked and ripped Akane's hand out of her shirt.

"Why are we were anyway Akane? Also, why did you tell us to wear all black?" Ryouga questioned, annoyed that he has been dragged out in the middle of the night to help his rival, yet happy at the same time because it was also helping Ranma-chan.

"Oh, right. We're going to rob that bank there." She whispered to the group.

Ranma-chan just stood there in silence, staring blankly at the deranged girl, she then reached out and put her hands on Akane's shoulders, and begun to shake her. "Are you insane? Oh why am I even asking, of course you are, and deranged to boot! You just don't go and rob a bank because you need money!"

Akane crossed her arms and pouted, "Well then, you got any better ideas?"

"Yeah! Not getting arrested!" Ranma-chan then began to march away from the two, "Whatever, I'm going to bed, just don't rob the bank."

They stood there in silence till Ryouga pointed a finger at Akane, "Hah, Ranma thinks you're deranged."

Akane tackled Ryouga and began strangling him again, "How dare you point out my mental problems!"

Ranma-chan slowly crawled into her bed; the day had been a waste. She was no closer to getting to china and now knew that Akane was willing to rob banks, wonderful. Though something was wrong, she couldn't quite figure out what, but she knew something here wasn't right. Carefully she looked around the room; it was completely normal and looked just like she had when she entered the room. One final thought entered her head and she slowly looked up at the ceiling, and there it was, two figures attached to the ceiling: Akane Tendo and P-chan.

Kasumi Tendo took in a breath of the fresh outside air, it was a cool and quite morning which is exactly the way she liked them. It was good that it was so calming here as well, because after having just finished a fight this early in the morning caused her to be a little more on the edge. It was the Kasumi noticed something was different about the backyard today, the two people tied up and hanging upside down from the tree in her backyard might have been what seemed out of place. "So what happened to you two?" She asked as she walked up to the hanging pair.

Akane rocked around and rotated to Kasumi, "Oh, well after going to rob a bank, Ranma decided not to and just went home. So I snuck into her room and this idiot here," She gestured to snoring Ryouga, "followed along and got Ranma mad, I think."

"That's nice." She said as she began to walk away.

Akane swayed back and forth a few times and called out to Kasumi, "Hey! Don't you think you should help me down from here?"

"I probably should!" Kasumi called out as she entered the house and shut the door behind her.

Ranma-chan, as she stood there in a girl's school uniform once again, stared in awe at the sight she saw. The school was on fire. Not just a small portion of the school, the entire school was on fire. Ranma-chan noticed Kasumi a across the street in front of the school gate and ran over to her, "What the hell's going on here?" She demanded as she pointed towards the burning school.

Kasumi crouched down to Ranma-chan's level, making them eye to eye. She draped her arm over Ranma-chan's shoulder and pointed towards the school. "You see there Ranma-chan, that's what we like to call fire. Remember never to touch it or run into it. It's very hot and burns people! Understand? "

"I know what fire is!" The smaller girl yelled, "But what caused the school to catch on fire?"

"Nothing really important." Kasumi said casually. "Though actually…"

2 hours ago

Two large robotic suits stood over the high school, each with weapons drawn. "Kasumi Tendo! Today is the day you enter your grave!" Tofu yelled into the communicator, which broadcast it over to the other suit.

"Not a chance in hell Tofu!" Kasumi yelled as she readied more weapons.

Tofu began moving first and charged at Kasumi, "Prepare yourself!"

"I was born prepared!" Kasumi screamed as a long blade shot out of the robots arm.

Now

"Needless to say, your school is now on fire and Tofu is somewhere in South America." Kasumi patted Ranma-chan on the back, "Everybody wins!"

"What are ya talking about? The only person who could conceivably have gained anything from this is you!" Ranma-chan grabbed Kasumi pulled her down to her eyelevel. "I think you did this just to annoy me." Her eyes narrowed as she looked directly into Kasumi's eyes.

"Of course not Ranma-chan, I wouldn't do something like that. The thought of making you unhappy is just appalling, you know." Kasumi then pulled away from the smaller girl and started moving towards the direction of the Tendo house. "Wonder how much longer it will be till she figures it out." Kasumi slipped her hands behind her head and smiled, "But that won't stop me from having fun till she does."

"No."

"Come on!"

"No."

"Come on!"

"No."

"Come on!"

"I believe I said no! Can you please leave?" Shampoo shrieked at the girl next to her.

"But my love, you must stop denying the bond we share!"

"There was no bond to begin with! There was no bond ever formed! There will never be one formed! Just go!"

Ukyou sighed dejectedly, she had failed once again. "Fine, I'll leave for now, but don't think I have even started to give up!" She then turned around and marched out of the stall, closing the door behind her.

Shampoo walked out of the bathroom a few moments later, and carefully slipped out of the store without being noticed by Ukyou who was still on the other side. "Really, I swear she's crazy, why else would she follow me into the bathroom."

The next day arrived and Ranma-chan now sat, again in one of Kasumi's picked outfits, atop the Tendo house. She was still stuck and no closer to her solution then she was a few days again. Carefully she studied the sun and the clouds as she contemplated a solution to her problem, when suddenly an idea hit her. It was perfect; there was nothing that could go wrong, at least that's what she hoped. Besides, if all went well she would have the money, and if things don't well, she would deal with that when the time came. Slowly she peered over the edge of the house watching for anyone to pass by and only seconds later her target appeared. Quickly she caused her eyes to tear up, acting classes do a wonder for a person you know, and made herself look as pitiful as possible. Sliding off the roof and landing on the ground she began to dash towards her target, "Mommy!"

Kaemon: I would actualy like to thank Ashark for getting this back in my mind and allowing me to finish this chapter. I was so busy with classes I actuayl forgot all about this for a few days, dangorus thing that is. I'll try not to forget more often, hehe.
