--Part 1--

----------
Akane was bored and annoyed. She woke up late and was forced to skip her
breakfast, then Kuno intercepted them at the entrance...as usual. Punting
Kuno to the stratosphere helped her releive some stress but accidentaly
soiled her dress. And on top of all that...the teacher was late!
Yup, definitley a bad day.
Akane sat up straighter and out of sheer boredom tried to eavesdrop on what
Ranma and Daisuke were talking about.
"So Ranma, did you hear about THE girl?" Daisuke asked Ranma, saying the
word "the" as if it had some ritual significance.
"Girl? What girl?" Ranma looked at Daisuke pointedly.
"You mean you don't know?" Daisuke looked at Ranma wierdly "Jeez, Ranma,
what have you been doing this past couple of days? Living under a rock?"
Ranma glared at Daisuke.
It would have been interesting to know what Ranma was going to say or if
Akane was going to get caught listening...but we'll never know 'cause at
that moment the teacher came in.
"Class" the teacher began "As you all know we have a new student. Miss-"
the teacher frantically looked around "I could have sworn she was right
behind me..."
Seemingly materializing out of the shadows the girl took a small step
forward into the light and bowed.There was a general intake of breath
from the male portion of the class and even some of the girls.
Akane was very annoyed to note that Ranma was part of the majority
described above. Turning her eyes to the girl, Akane studied her intently.
The girl was around Akane's height. Her eyes were a piercing yellow that
seemed to convey an "I know something you don't" message. She had extremely
long bright blue hair gradually turning white at the tips that extended to
her butt. She was very slim, her long arms and legs had a relax look to
them but Akane was knew enough about martial arts that she sensed an
underlying strenght in those limbs.
"I'm Miko Ukagi and I was recently transfered from Furinkan High." stated
the girl
Akane raised her hand and said " You must be mistaken. I mean...this is
Furinkan."
A bewildered exppresion settled on tthe girl's face but was so swiftly
covered up that Akane doubted anyone but her noticed it.
Miko smiled " Ofcourse, I was only kidding. What I meant was that I'm
from St. Michi's school of martial arts.
Ranma raised an eyebrow and whistled "Looks and martial arts? I wonder
why Akane hasn't burst of jealousy yet?"
"BAKA! I heard that!" Akane took a swing at Ranma
SWAT!
OWW!
"Mr. Saotome please stand in the hall."
*********
The day was with out incident until dissmisal.Kuno was pestering Miko and
Ranma decided to help her out.
"Yo, Kuno! Stop scaring all the new students and ...do whatever people like
you do for R&R." said Ranma and moving to block Kuno's attempted hug on Miko.
"Ranma you cur! Now I will free the lovely Akane Tendou and my pig-tailed
goddess from your sorcerous thrall!" Kuno glared at Ranma and charged.
Before anyone knew what happened Kuno was sailing through the air. Miko had
intercepted Kuno and delivered a swift punch to his face. It was so fast
Ranma almost didn't see it. Unfortunately, Kuno in his desparation to
counter this unforseen attack, lashed out and shoved Miko backwards.
Ranma caught Miko just as she was about to fall. Ranma was helping her
up when he realized that his hands were resting on two very soft
things...round and soft.
"Ranma! What do you think your doing!?" Demanded Akane
Ranma whirled around and faced Akane and hastily took his hands away from
the offending objects.
"Um...Akane it isn't what it looks like..." Ranma said with hands held
in front of him and rapidly backing away.
"BAKA!" Akane suddenly glowed blue and was hefting a giant mallet.
She took a swing at Ranma only to have it blocked. Akane opened her eyes to
see Miko holding the mallet steady with her two
fingers...right at the center, and with a sudden flick of her hand seen
mallet careening off to the bushes.
Akane made a "gasp" sound in shock. At the back of her head she suddenly
had a sense of ... deja vu.
"Is she disturbing you Ranma?" Miko asked innocently as everyone stared at
her with big sweat drops on their heads.
Frustrated and confused Akane grabbed the nearest thing,in this case a
bench, and threw it in the general direction of Mikoadn Ranma. They bothn
ducked and it accidentally hit one of the students watching them. Akane
heard the sickening sound of CRACK!, then everything went black.
*********
Akane woke up to the sound of voices: Ranma's and her father's.
"So how was the girl with a broken arm?" asked Soun
"Alright, if you could call having a fractured arm alright," answered Ranma
"Where am I?" Akane sat up and looked around her.
Almost instantly, Ranma was by her side. He held her tightly, like she was
was going to be snatched away in an instant, yet gently, like her bones
were made of glass.
"Are you alright ? need anything-" Ranma was cut off as Akane held a finger
on his lips.
"I'm fine,really. Where am I?" Akane involuntarily leaned backon Ranma
She looked up to Ranma "And what are you doing here?"
Nabiki walked into the room and smiled "You're in the Hospital, Sis,
and as to why he's here, well his stayed in this room for the last" She
looked at her watch "8 hours".
Akane suddenly realized that the room was filled with people: Kasumi asking
if she was alright, Nodoka bringing her a drink, Genma checking on her
condition, Ukyou with okonomiyaki and strangely Miko Ukagi. She was about
to remark on this when Ranma took pity on her.
"Quiet everybody! Let Akane have her rest, she needs it." Ranma announced
Nabiki smirked "Your one to talk Ranma, with you holding Akane like there's
no tommorow."
Ranma grinned sheepishly, stood up and ushered everybody out. Before he
closed the door he turned back to Akane and said "Sleep Akane, you need it."
As Ranma left he saw Nabiki and Kasumi talking, before the voices faded
away he heard "... i hope its not happening again..."

Notes: This is a rewrite of Action and Reaction Part 1. Why? well when
i wrote the original draft pratically all C&C was critical at best so I
knew that there was something seriuosly wrong with my writing. Again as
before C&C is desperately needed!
