I'm still sick, but I'll probably be better by next week. When I am better I'll make an extra long chapter (Maybe as long as chapter 1) and try to make the HikaruxSora flirting as realistic as possible. Other pairings are HikaruxNabiki and HikaruxShampoo. Comment on what you think Sora's personality should be like! (Examples - Ditz, Tsundere, Yandere, Dandere, etc.) For now I'll leave you with an Omake and a short chapter without Sora in it. It'll have Kuno though!
Also, Akane will have a crush on Hikaru at first, but Ranma will eventually display interest in Akane, and Hikaru won't reciprocate her feelings. Ranma will then comfort Akane (or something) and she'll start falling for him.
Omake
As we traveled to Nerima, Ranma, in girl form, turned to me and asked, "Hey, have you ever used your ability to turn into a girl?"
I looked away, hiding the blush that had formed on my face, and snorted, "Of course not!"
Not realizing anything was wrong, Ranma scrunched her face, "Then how'm I gonna learn ta' piss in this body?" She shrugged, then began to strip.
Rage tore through my mental barriers, completely shattering them, and I launched a punch into his face, leaving only a twinkle in the night sky, "PERVERT!"
"Damn," I whistled, blushing a bright red at my outburst, "Didn't realize I kept my feminine rage from that little experiment of mine."
(Ranma's Perspective)
I began to take off my shirt, but the most powerful punch I'd ever felt struck me right in the face, sending me soaring through the sky.
"DAMN IT HIKARU!" I cursed, "YOU'VE BEEN HOLDING BACK ON ME!"
(Back with Hikaru)

'Probably should turn that off… It isn't very manly to yell out PERVERT! Then punch a guy sky high. I really don't want mom to kill me.'
-Chapter 2-
"School!?" Ranma growled, "Why do I have to go there?"
Before Genma could answer, I sighed, "I can't keep just teaching you everything. My knowledge of Japanese history is mostly from the occasional manga or what we'd learned in Middle School, and my math only goes to Algebra 3. And while I can read, I'm not particularly skilled at literary analysis. I'm also terrible at writing essays, and even worse at Lab Reports. Basically I'm not that good of a teacher, and since we're staying in one place at the moment, we might as well go to school.
"What he said," Genma grunted.
Nabiki, followed by Akane, entered the room and said to us, "You're going to the same school as Akane and I," her tone indicated she was irritated with Akane, though I couldn't tell why, "Why don't you come with me?"
I shrugged, "Why not?" I began to follow her out, and noticed Akane was as well, "Akane, could you show Ranma to the school?" She looked at me with an annoyed expression, but quickly morphed it into a fake smile (not that I could tell) and nodded kindly, "Sure."
I didn't notice the triumphant look that had grown onto Nabiki's face.
As we walked towards school, she asked, "So, what's the girl you like -Sora I believe you called her?- like?"
I nearly tripped face first into the ground in surprise. I'd been hoping no one asked.
"Ehrr, it's been a while," I answered evasively, 'More like we've never met."
Nabiki scowled, "What's she look like?"
Oh, that's tougher to answer. If I answer with, 'It's been a while,' she'll think that Sora doesn't exist and I made her up to avoid marrying her or her sisters. But if I give her any characteristics and they turn out to be wrong… Well, she's a goddess. A goddess won't look like a 43 year old crazy cat lady. If she turns out to look like that, well, I'll just say tell Nabiki that Sora died. And besides, as a goddess she can probably change her appearance. So, I can give her something generic that should satisfy her curiosity if I look dreamy enough… so, letting the focus leave my eyes, (A/N: Can most people have the focus leave their eyes so easily? I have astigmatism, so I don't know if it's ordinary for those who don't, and in this story Hikaru is meant to have perfect 20/20 vision.) I said dreamily, "She's the most beautiful girl I've ever met."
There was good and bad news. Good was, it worked. Bad, it worked too well. 'He's totally lovestruck over her,' Nabiki thought, 'I might have a tougher time at this than I thought.'
A few minutes of walking passed (In which Nabiki seemed to be thinking something to herself.) when I realized something, 'I could've just told her to mind her own business!' Sure, I'd probably lose some money down the line, but I could just make that back as soon as I could use ID Create. 'I doubt the monsters are anywhere near even Ryoga's level. Though I suppose even a bite from a zombie is enough to turn an ordinary person into one… But I'm a martial artist and The Gamer… Oh well, better safe than sorry.'
I shook my thoughts away when we reached the school, "I'm gonna wait for Ranma."
"I'll wait with you!" She blurted out, blushing red, causing me to raise an eyebrow. This wasn't how I remember her acting… maybe this reality isn't identical sans me and Sora? 'Gah! Stay calm… Breath in, put the mask on, breath out. Breath in, put the mask on, breath out.' The blush left her face and her normal face came back.
"Hn," I gave her the generic Uchiha grunt to indicate I didn't care either way.
It was a few minutes later that Akane, with Ranma following her, came running through the gate, shouting, "-spise… MEN!"
I looked as she beat up the crowd, turning to Nabiki, "How often does this happen?"
"Daily," She snorted, "Kuno Tatewaki, local Tendo champion and nutcase, convinced everyone that they didn't have the right to ask Akane out if they didn't defeat her in battle. Since then," She gestured at the crowd that was being beaten up by Akane, "THIS has happened daily."
"Wait, the do this, not so they can force her into going out with them, but so they can even try asking her out?" My memory was fuzzy, but wasn't it so they could force her out on a date or something? Then again, it's been nearly two decades, I've forgotten a lot.
Nabiki snorted, "The only one who might force her into something is Kuno himself, and he happens to be the only one who I couldn't give a fate worse than death to with just a few favors called in. He's a millionaire after all."
"Speaking as the luckiest man in the world, if you ever need money to get back at a rapist, I can get you the money in less than a week." A shit-eating grin grew on her face.
"Thanks for the idea," Her grin grew, though it was hard to notice under the frankly scary grin, there was a hint of genuine thanks for helping her deal with Kuno if he ever went too far.
"I could also just torture him," I shrugged, "I doubt it's that hard." 'Especially with my feminine rage bonus.'
Nabiki frankly looked disturbed for a moment, then remembered we were speaking of if he raped her sister, and kept quiet.
After the crowd was defeated, a man in a white Uwagi (the shirt part) and a dark blue Hakama (the pants part) with a bokken appeared, introducing himself.
"My name is Upperclassman Kuno. Junior Group E," He started dramatically, "Captain of the Kendo Club, undefeated new start of the Kendo world. But my peers call me… THE BLUE THUNDER OF FURINKAN HIGH!" There was the sound of thunder in the background.
"Well, speak of the devil and he shall appear." I stated dumbly. Even I was perturbed by his speech, and I'd known about it beforehand.
I know, no action, but I'll make sure the next chapter is longer! I'm still sick and frankly, I'm not even sure if the 'romance' or more accurately, sister-rivalry and slight crushing, done in this chapter was done properly.
Ja ne!
