SPRATE - Ranma 1/2

0

THE rainy weather falls around the city, the sound of puddles splashing with each step you take. Umbrella held close as your bag lightly hits your sides. Pausing at the scene in front of you, the few people out and about in the weather stop as well. The sound of fast paced steps were heard in the rainy streets of Japan.

A young woman with a short braid and red hair runs. With a giant panda hot on her trail. The panda stops in front of the red head. Not caring about the onlookers who saw them.

The red-haired woman got into a fighting stance. Waiting for the panda to make its move. The fuzzy creature gets into a fighting stance as he makes his move. The female dodges, while angrily shouts. "I still think this whole thing sucks!"

The female throws the panda over her shoulder and into a wall near you. You blink, confused, while onlookers gape, a few even flee. 

Gripping the umbrella handle tighter, you walk towards the young woman. 

The panda blinks at you in confusion, a huff leaving its snout.

The girl, who was catching her breath, turns to you. Eyeing you quizzically at your sudden appearance. Stretching out the umbrella over the two of you, you offer her a smile. 

The rain drowns out your voices to those who still remained, watching the oddness go beyond their expectations. The girl follows close beside you, hands in her pockets as the two of you stand in front of the befuddled panda. Repeating what you said to the animal, the pig-tailed girl grabs their bags as the giant panda grunts unhappily, following after, fur soaked underneath the rain. 

-

Arriving back at your home, you and the pig-tailed girl managed to shove the black and white spotted bear through the door. Walking in, you walk to your cabinet, rummaging around until two white fluffy blankets rested on your hands. Offering the items to your two guests, they politely accept. Drying themselves off by the doorway, once done, you usher them to your living room. Letting them choose where to sit, you head to the kitchen.

“Pops…” Ranma mumbled to the pouting animal, sighing, the girl chose a spot. Eyeing the balcony door as the drizzle lightens up a bit. The two inhale a deep breath, blinking at the soft smell lingering in the room. 

Returning back to your guests, you hold a couple of items. 

Heading to the living room table, you plop down carefully. Three little cups were placed first, steam drifting from the rim. Lastly, a few plates containing small sandwiches.

“W-wow!” Ranma gapes, “it looks so tasty!”

You nodded, taking a bite of your meal first. Enjoying the taste as your guests dig in as well.

-

“...” The pigtailed girl eyes the picture frames on the walls, a frown decorating her face. Bags packed and ready to go, she glances at her panda/father. “...Would it really be fine to say goodbye without a note?” She mumbled attention on the spot he picked from before. Your presence no longer in sight, possibly asleep in the bedroom a few hallways down.

The panda growls, stuck between the doorframe once again so they could leave. Ranma growls back mockingly, “I’m leaving a note!” Searching around the kitchen for a notepad, she stops. Two small boxes left out with their own notes.

“ “Good luck with your journey.” …” Folding up the note, he stuffs it into his pocket. Readying their legs, they rush to the doorframe. Boxes in hand as she kicks the panda out of the home.

-

A sigh escapes you, sweat decorating your skin as you flop to the ground.

“W-aughh… Sticky…” You breath out, wiping at your shirt as the blue haired male raises a brow.

“Maybe you should stop joining me on my mid-evening jogs.”  He scolds, crossing his arms, sweat dripping off his brow. “I wanna’ get stronger!” You laugh happily, as the male hums. “You say that but I don’t think your improving that well…”

“Thanks, I get it…” You mumble, getting back up. “Though-” You stretch out your leg, wincing at the sharp pain. You shake it off with a strained giggle. “I don’t want to give up.” You turn your attention to him, hopeful. Grinning like a happy dunce, Akane had gotten used to that familiar look of yours. He rolls his eyes. “Hm, since you got your determination back, then I’ll race you back to my house. Starting… Now!”

“Wah!? Augh…” You slowly run after, picking up speed as you work on your breathing. Trying your best to follow once more. 

Akane glances back at your exhausted expression, face warming up as he quickly focuses back on the road ahead.

-

It had been decided that Akane Tendo and Ranma Saotome would be engaged to wed one another. 

You had accepted the fact, knowing easily.  Smiling joyfully, you congratulate them kindly, taking a bite of the cookies Kasumi had brought out. The taste is dull to your senses, as you sip the cold drink next to you.

"... Stop it." Akane mumbles, teeth clenching as he steps closer.

"If you don't, Don't you ever show your face around me again."

A breathes out, glaring as everyone in the house becomes still at the words.

"Akane!" Kasumi yelps, mortified.

"Oh.. This.. This is NOT going to be pleasant." Hibiki whispers under her breath worriedly. Shooting a glance at the two Saotome's that stood around the living room area in confusion.

"... It.. It's time for me to head home." You smile widely, grabbing your school-bag as you give a small wave. 

"Thanks for having me!" 

"A-ah, I-I'll walk you out (Y/N)-"

"It's-"

You tense up, "I'm good, I know where the door is Kasumi!" You laugh it off, "I'll see you at school." You say politely, nodding to Ranma and Akane as you finally leave the house.

Feeling the night air on your cheeks, you start to run home.

'...'

The grip on your bag tightens.

'...'

Slowing your pace once far enough, you feel your items slip through your fingers.

[NOTES]

The reason why Akane was mad was because (Y/N) has told him they like them before, Akane wasn't ready to say it back.  Too scared to lose them, and have things change too quickly. So, when seeing how "easily" (Y/N) gave up. It pissed him off.
If past me continued this story, it was just gonna be poly because I didn't care at the time.

[Originally, the idea I had was way more different. Maybe I’ll post an old draft later!

So! This story was gonna be bits of reverse harem/isekai!reader! It was just a silly idea I had when I saw some fan art awhile back. Hopefully I can find it! Lol! But yeah! Check out the anime! If you guys want me to post some of my old ideas from my scrapped story, let me know! This was a lot of ideas I had at once and this is VERY old. I thought I’d post it to celebrate Ranma ½ getting a reboot! Hooray!]

[Comments super helpful! Let me know what ya'll think! See ya!]
