Kodachi, The Icy Rose
Cat Fight down Furinkan Lane
But First, UFOs!

*Thursday, a shiny clear morning*

"Ohayou!" said Akane sitting down to the table. "Good Morning Akane," said Kasumi getting some Rice for her. "I see Ranma is running late again," she said with an agitated look. "Yes, it seems so," said Soun reading the paper. Kasumi handed Akane her rice, and she began to eat. She noticed Nabiki watching the TV, "Aren't you going to eat anything Nabiki?" she asked. "Already did, I got up early today," she said. Ranma finally got downstairs, and rushed to the table, as Kasumi prepared him some rice.

Suddenly the TV changed from the morning Stock Holder Reports to a special News bulletin. "Please standby for an important news flash from the United States' National Aeronautics and Space Administration. "What's this," asked Nabiki turning up the volume. The whole family began to watch, as the President, George Bush, with a few Scientists behind him made an announcement. "Ladies and Gentlemen, from all over the world," he began, "The question of 'Are we alone in the universe'," has been answer. Twice in this past week, the Hubble Telescope has picked up an UFO orbiting our planet, as we are now about to show you.

The screen then switched to recorded footage from the Hubble Telescope, and the entire Tendo Family chocked on their rice. They saw Happosai making faces at the TV, before flying back to earth. The second footage showed the same thing, except this time, he was blasted to the moon. "As you have just witnessed, we have an UFO floating around our gravity well, the fact that the UFO looks like a human being, makes us wonder if there are more here on earth" said the President, "Radar has been tracking it now over the past 12 hours. It is most definitely on a collision course with Japan." Akane looked outside, "Do you suppose?" she said.

A loud scream suddenly followed, as an object twinkled out of the sky, and started to head for the house. The family got up, and went to the back patio to see Happosai smash into the ground, making a nice lovely crater. Just seconds after he smashed into the ground, Happosai then took off into the air, with a pink panty in his shirt. The family stared at the dust that was coming out of the crater. There eyes all went wide open, and their mouths just dropped when they saw a stash of women clothing in the crater. "That pervert!" yelled Ranma, "I knew he was hiding another stash!". Akane snuck up behind him, and slammed her Mallet on him, "Why do YOU care if he has another stash!?!" she said with a nasty angry glare. Ranma turned around, and made a bad joke smile.

Happosai continued towards outer space, and with the panty caught in his shirt, he was propelling faster and faster. He began to orbit the earth making a complete revolution every second, and was still accelerating. On the TV, another scientist came to the president, and began to whisper in his ear. The President looked at the scientist with a shocked expression, and then cleared his throat. "I've just been informed that the UFO has launched from Japan, and is now back in orbit, accelerating at unbelievable speeds." he said. The TV then flickered to the Hubble Telescope view, showing a quick brown blur passing the screen every three fourth a second.

Happosai, unable to control where he was going, was getting a bit to close to the earth's atmosphere. The Panty in his shirt, then began to burn away, which stopped his Acceleration. "NO!," he screamed, "Anything but that!" reaching for the burning remains of the panty. He then looked up and noticed a rather large object in his path. "Uh oh," he said.

"It appears this UFO is about to crash into an Asteroid, which has gotten rather close to earth recently," said the president, looking at a Monitor by his podium. Happosai braced himself has he smashed into the Asteroid and bounced into a collision course with Earth again. The asteroids blasted into pieces, and out flew a real UFO, who was charging a large energy beam and aiming at earth. The blast knocked the UFO out of control, as it flew out of Terran's Gravity Well, and into a collision course with the sun. But as faith would have it, a comet ran into the UFO first.

The President, stunned by the recent events, looked back at the Camera, "We will keep you informed with the current situation," he said. The TV then flickered, "This concludes the special News Bulletin," as the Stock Holder's Report came back on. Ranma just stared at the TV, and dropped his bowl of rice. Everyone else just remained quiet, until Kasumi smiled, "So that's where Grandfather Happosai has been," she said, "Taking a trip to outer space." Everyone else just collapsed, as their legs flew up.

*At the High School*

Ranma and Akane walked into the school, which was crowded as usual. As they passed by people, they could here them chattering, "Hey, did you see the news?", "Yea, that old Pervert was in orbit!", "I knew he was an alien!". Akane and Ranma just looked at them as they passed by. As they got near the school entrance, they began to hear some music. They followed it to the music room, where they found Joe on the Piano and Emeral playing on a white Ocarina with green outlines. Both Ranma and Akane seemed to enjoy the song, and Akane became very relaxed. She closed her eyes and leaned on Ranma, who became a bit shock, but ignored it as he listened.

When the two finish, Akane applauded then, "That was a nice song," she said walking up to Emeral. Ranma nodded, "Yes it was, what was it called?" he asked. Joe smiled, "It is called 'Desire'," he said. "Would you like to hear another?" asked Emeral. "Sure, if you don't mind," said Akane, sitting down on top of a desk. Ranma walked up by Akane and nodded, "I wouldn't mind hearing another," he said. Joe cracked his knuckles, as Emeral placed her hands on the Ocarina, "This one is titled, 'The Tofu Waltz'," said Emeral as they started.

*At the All Girls School of St. Habetiki*

Kodachi finished her morning warm up at the gym, and proceeded to her locker to grab her ribbon to do some more practice. She opened her locker and pulled out her ribbon, which had a shiny object in its handle, but didn't grab her attention. She went over to a group of girls, who had agreed to practice with her. The group had ribbons and clubs at their disposal. Kodachi order them to attack, which they did, to have their clubs knocked out of their hands before they even had a chance to get near her. The clubs fell to the ground, as solid icicles. As for the ribbons which were used to counter Kodachi's ribbons, they were now big ice sticks.

The girls looked at Kodachi, who was just as confused as they were. Kodachi then slammed her ribbon at a ball that was lying near by. The moment her ribbon touched the ball, it became frozen in ice. Kodachi looked at her ribbon, "What power," she thought. She then smiled, "With this, I could freeze Ranma-sama's arms and legs to the ground, then I can finally have my way with him," she thought. She began to laugh out loud, making her most annoying sounds as she jumped off to Furinkan High School.

*Later In Ranma's Class*

Morning break had been issued, and Ranma and Akane proceeded out of the room. Ranma looked back at Tommy's desk, and wondered why he didn't show up today. Emeral and Joe proceeded to go up to the roof. As they went down the hallway, they found Mr. Kouchou Kunou in a wheel chair, just staring out of the window. As the two past him, Kouchou's eye sparkled, and he quickly turned around with a pair of clipers, going for Emeral's pink long hair. Emeral knew he was going to do this, so she simply turned around and grabbed his hand before he even got near his hair. A bit shocked, Kouchou grinned, "So you are the new transfer students, from England I believe," he said . Joe nodded, "Yes we are," he said. Kouchou grinned, then pulled out a Pineapple, "A while ago I went to Hawaii, and they have a traditional greetings by given the new comers a pineapple." he said handing the Pineapple to Joe. Kouchou began to role himself away at a fast pace, smiling. Joe just grinned, and with quick speed, opened the window and dropped the Pineapple out. The Pineapple landed on Upperclassman Kunou who caught it. "What is this?" he asked looking at it. The pineapple suddenly exploded, and Kunou just fell to the ground, "Curse that Principle," he said.

Kouchou turned around and saw they weren't blown up, "What?" he said. Emeral walked up to him, pulling out a flower necklace, "You know, Mr. Kunou; the traditional welcome to Hawaii is a necklace made out of flowers," she said placing it on his neck. This kind action totally stunned him, as he watch her smile, then proceed with Joe out of the hall.

Joe and Emeral came to the edge of the roof, looking around. Below was Ranma talking to his friends, with Akane nearby with her friends. Everything seemed peaceful, too peaceful in fact. "Don't you find it strange," asked Joe. "I do," replied Emeral, "That old man hasn't done anything funny for the past day." They continued to watch as Ranma and Akane continued to chat.

Ranma then turned around just barley dodging a ribbon that came out of the trees. It smacked on the ground, creating a nice ice patch. "What the hell?" asked Ranma looking at the trees? A loud stupid laugh came from the trees, which got Ranma nervous, "No, it can't be," he said. Kodachi jumped from the trees, "Ranma Darling, you remembered me!" she said. "I wish I couldn't," said Ranma under his breath. Akane stormed up to Kodachi, "What do YOU want?" she asked. Kodachi smiled, "To make Ranma Mine!" she said. Akane's face smashed like a mirror, and her hair looked like it had been zapped by lighting while Ranma flinched at the thought.

"Now come on Ranma, be a good boy and come to me," she said. Ranma took a step back, "You crazy?" he said. Kodachi flicked her Ribbon at Ranma, which missed, but hit a boy standing behind him. His hand suddenly turned blue, then into a ice cube. Ranma looked back, "How did she do that?" he thought. Akane stepped back, "What is with her ribbon," she said. Kodachi began to laugh as she made several more attempts to hit Ranma. He managed to dodge them all, but the trees in the school were now Icicles.

Emeral got angry at the sight of the trees being hurt, plus innocent bystanders were also taking hits. "Joe, let me handle this one," she said. Joe looked at her then smiled, "It's in your hands, besides, I don't want to have to beat up a girl, even if she is crazy," he said.

Ranma landed on an icy branch, which lost his footing. He feel to the ground, where Kodachi laughed, "Now I got you," she said. She twirled her ribbon, and sent it straight for Ranma. "RANAMA!" yelled Akane starting to run up to him, but she noticed a quick red blur go right in front of Ranma. The Ribbon smacked into a Crystal Blue Tented Circular Shield, which was being emitted by Rose standing in front of Ranma. Kodachi stared for a bit, then spoke, "You there, Get out of my way," she said. Rose just looked back at her, "I'm afraid I can't do that," she said, "Not only have you violated another's power, but you've used that to harm living things. I cannot let this continue."

"Fine, have it your way," said Kodachi launching a ribbon attack at Rose. Rose took out her wand which she had in her hand, and smacked the ribbon away. "What? Why didn't your stick freeze?" asked Kodachi. "It just doesn't," said Rose pointing her wand at Kodachi. "Dragon of Fire, Come to my aid: Flame Shot!" she said. A powerful flame grew on the tip of her wand, then launched at Kodachi. Kodachi barley dodged the hit, which slammed into the school wall, but caused no damage. Kodachi quickly got on her feet, and launched another ribbon assault on Rose. Rose grinned, then jumped straight into the air and placed her arms over each other making an 'X' over her face. "What are you doing?" asked Kodachi. "Rose Storm!" she yelled as a bright pink circle of energy formed in the center of her arms. She then swung her arms open like she was going to give a hug. As she did so, the energy broke up into tiny shiny pieces of pink Crystals, with some Red Rose peddles floating around. The Crystals then took off at Kodachi. Kodachi attempted to dodge, but there was too many, several nailed her and stuck to her skin. Kodachi fell to the grown, growing weak. She dropped her ribbon and began to look around, "What d..did yo...you d....do?" she said collapsing to the ground.

Rose landed by her and picked up her ribbon, where she removed the shard, that was now a very dark color. She looked at Kodachi, "Merely put you to sleep," she said smiling. She then jumped off to the trees again, but this time Akane was prepared. She had hidden herself where the two usually jumped to and disappeared. Rose landed to see Akane looking at her face. "Who are you?" asked Akane. Rose smiled, making Akane blush, "Someone you already know," she said vanishing in a blue glow. Akane looked blankly, "Someone I already know?"
