Anything vs Everything part 1

A Ranma ½ FanFic written by K-Jeikobu

Chapter 1
Strangers Opposition
what happened to honor?

"What a haul! What a haul!" Happosai happily said as he ran through the streets carrying a
bag full of underwear. Behind him a large group of Teenage girls ran after, forming a huge
cloud of dust.

"Get back here, you pervert!" one of them yelled and threw a large broom at the old man.
Without even looking back he took up his pipe and completely stopped the broom and then with
a barely noticable flinch he threw it high up in the sky.

"Anything-Goes Martial Arts Special Attack : Pipe air throw!" The old lecher yelled happily
and continued running.

"Everything-Goes Martial Arts Counter Attack: Pipe throw reversed!" yelled a voice and
suddenly the broom came down again, cutting open the bag containing the underwear and
sending them flying in all directions. Happosai looked around fevereshly to find the guilty.

"Is that you, Ranma?" He asked. There was no reply. "You'd do better to answer your sensei
when he calls, especially when you have disturbed me in my treasure hunting!" Still no
reply. "Ranma! Answer me or I'll have to get mad!" There was a slight movement in the bushes
nearby. Happosai took up one of his small bombs and lit it. "Happou Dai Karin!" He yelled
and threw it into the bushes. For a moment there was silence, then the voice was heard
again.

"Happou Chinka Karin!" The voice didn't sound like Ranma, although it probably belonged to
someone his age and gender. Happosai focused to find any traces of his opponents ki. There
was a small, barely sensable ki in the bushes and Happosai carefully moved closer until he
was right next to them. He peered into the bush, and saw a lit Happy Bomb.

"S-S-Shimatta!!!" He screamed as it exploded, showering him in fire. He fell to the ground,
twitching, but quickly regained his senses. He heard the light tap of foots behind him and
as he quickly turned he saw a young man, barely visible in the shadow of a tree.

"So, we finally meet, thief." The young man said with a cold and dry voice.

"W-Who are you calling thief, you vandal!? You destroyed my precious catch!"

"I, uh, see... Then I guess you will be wanting revenge, right?"

"Such lack of respect, it can only be you." Happosai muttered.

"What!? H-How did you...?" The young man seemed shocked.

"You didn't think I recognized you, right? Very well, if you want to challenge me, just say
so."

"...Right. If you want to avenge your... catch... then meet me at the school's football
field at precisely 12 o´clock." There was silence for a moment. It was broken by the school
clock striking twelve times and made one of the football players nearly hit the young man
with the ball.

"Ehhh..." Happosai began, looking at the football field right next to them.

"...Tomorrow." The young man said and jumped away quickly.

"I won't hold back on you, even if you're my student!" Happosai yelled. "I'll get you for
this!!!!"

"Yo." Ranma said, hitting the old man on the back of the head.

"You... You are bold to return to me so quickly." Happosai muttered, focusing his aura.

"What are you talking about?" Ranma asked, looking puzzled.

"You will di... what?" Happosai looked around and noticed the shape of the young man
standing on top of the school building.

"Tomorrow, old man!!! Gyaaah ha ha ha!!" The young man made a backjump and disappeared out
of view.

"Who was that?" Ranma asked after an almost embarrassing long silence.

"That..." Happosai lit his pipe and lowered his head. "That was..." Ranma leaned closer
to hear. "That was... someone I've never seen." Ranma smashed into the ground and just as he
was about to start hitting the old man a girl's voice screamed.

"There he is! And it's Ranma too!!"

"Get them!!" The girls who had been chasing Happosai formed a circle around them, one of
them was incidently Akane.

"Yo, Akane..." Ranma said nervously. "Look, I'll just hand over the old lecher here and
you'll..."

"But Ranma. You said we would share these panties." Happosai mumbled lowly. "Now you're
going to turn me over and take them all by yourself. That's not fair." Ranma stared in
bewilderment at the old man.

"Wh-Wh-What are you saying!?" He yelled. "Listen, Akane, I'd never..." He stopped. Akane was
standing in front of him looking calm. "Whew, I'm glad you understand." He stopped again
when he noticed the bulging vein on her forehead.

"Ranma, you... JERK!!!" She yelled and kicked him into orbit.

"Ha ha, you show him!" Happosai laughed.

"And as for you..." Akane growled, closing in on the old man.

"Eh he he, Akane dear. We shouldn't be fighting. We're... almost relatives!!" Happosai tried
to back, but he found himself surrounded by girls. "Very well." He said and took a deep
breath. He then, in the instance of only a few seconds, flipped every girls' skirt and ran
away laughing.

"After him!" Akane yelled and they picked up their weapons.

Meanwhile, Ranma was steadily approaching Earth, and, due to the nature of narrative
casuality, the school's pool.

And not very far away, a hatefilled soul plotted the revenge that had been perfected for 200
years. "So he has a student, huh? Very well, I shall enjoy putting the Anything-Goes school
to death." And also, again due to narrative casuality, the young man was sitting at a table
in the Nekohanten. He broke off into a mad laughter. He stopped short when he saw the bill.

***^.^***

SD Jeikobu: Domo! Welcome to the "Fan Corner"!

SD Ranma : So, who's this weird "young man" then?

SD Jeikobu: Can't tell you, it's secret.

SD Ranma : C´mon, I won't tell that old pervert.

SD Jeikobu: Alas, still I shan't.

SD Ranma : What a pain. Oh, and how come we couldn't see the guy's face?

SD Jeikobu: It's called Narrative Casuality. It would spoil the suspense. It's the same
thing that always send you flying into pools and such.

SD Ranma : ... I see... *sweatdrop*

SD Jeikobu: YOSH! We continue!

SD Akane : Do we really have to stand this? I mean, I look ridiculous.

SD Jeikobu: Sumimasen... *sweats* Anyways, Now for some info. These little dialogues will
appear now and then...

SD Akane : I'm not going to do this again! It's embarrassing!

SD Ranma : Bleh, Kawaiikune!!

SD-Akane : *punches Ranma into orbit*

SD Jeikobu: As I was saying... We will appear every now and then to inform the reader
(that's you) about what's really going on, and explain some common japanese words
and phrases. It's all a matter of fan-service! *switch to a repairman fixing a
electrical fan* NOT that... kind of fan-service. Anyway, Sayonara for now, and
Hajimemashite!

New Japanese Words
Shimatta - Damn it!
Domo - Usually very, as in thank you very much(Domo Arigatou Gozaimasu), also slang
for hello.
Yosh - Yes, affirmative, usually used in formal and serious conversation, like in
the military
Sumimasen - Sorry or Excuse me, really a word used when asking someone something, but I
use it commonly. Gomennasai is more formal.
Kawaiikune - un-cute, often used by Ranma as an insult to Akane. She responds mostly with
Hentai, or Baka. Which means Pervert respectively idiot.
Sayonara - Goodbye, essential to know
Hajimemashite - Lit. Nice meeting you for the first time. Formal.

Attacks
Happou Dai Karin - The small bombs that Happosai lits and throws.
Happou Chinka Karin - A counter-technique used to extinguish the fire of the bombs.

Happosai was standing in front of the hall mirror. He was wearing his most formal attire and
he had a serious look on his face. Soun walked in and made a low eep.

"Sensei, please! Whatever Genma or Ranma has done, please don't punish me!!!" He groveled.

"Calm down, calm down. It's nothing like that. I have been formally challenged." Happosai
said, nodding for himself.

"Ch-Challenge? You? But who would be so stu... I mean brave to challenge your might?"

"He never told me his name, but I believe he's worthy of some consideration. He's got guts,
unlike someone else I know." He stared at Soun. Akanes father smiled falsely and slided back
into his room and quickly bowed before he closed the door. Happosai smiled for himself in
the mirror and then turned towards a big bag.

"My lovelies... wish me luck." He whispered sadly.

"You haven't got a chance." Ranma said happily as he walked out from the bathroom.

"What's that, Ranma m´boy?" Happosai said with a wide grin.

"I said, you haven't got a... sprfft!" Happosai had produced a bucket out of somewhere and
were now happily holding on to Ran-chan's bosom.

"Now now, Ranma m´boy. With you pepping me on there's no chance I'll lose." The old lecher
purred happily. Ran-chan's reaction was, after some pure seconds of shock, a shriek and a
punch in Happosai's face, sending him flying. The old man quickly broke his flight and
landed on the floor. "Is that any way to treat your Sensei!?"

"No, but it's perfect for a pervert old man!" Ran-chan yelled back and started chasing the
old man around.

"Just another ordinary day." Soun sighed as he opened up the newspaper. The frontpage showed
a picture of a young man, face obscured by Soun's hand, running down the street. The
headline read: "Young man runs from food bill, where's our world heading?" The rest of the
household continued eating, ignoring the occasional scream and explosion. After a while the
door slid open and Ran-chan stepped inside. Genma waved towards her.

"Ranma, come here." He said seriously. Ran-chan walked up to her father. He waved to her to
lean in close. "My son, I hope you understand the potentional of the situation." A confused
look told him the opposite.

"What are you talking about, old man?" Ran-chan sighed.

"Well, in the case our sensei would get... hurt... in the challenge, you wouldn't think
about using the situation to your advantage, would you?" Genma gave Ran-chan and
conspirational elbow in the side.

"You mean tie him up, place thousands of holy wards on him and send him to the North Pole?"

"Right."

"Never crossed my mind." Genma laughed, for about three seconds, then got a very stern face.

"I'm serious, Ranma."

"Same here."

"What now, Genma? Planning my downfall?" Happosai asked angrily. Then he started laughing.

"Oh no sensei, never!" Genma cried out and started groveling.

"No idea to worry. I won't allow a snot-nosed brat to defeat me." He laughed some more.

"Not that this brat hasn't beaten you a thousand times." Ran-chan chirped.

"There's something that bothers me, though," Happosai muttered, ignoring Ran-chan's remark,
"that young man countered my moves, and the name of his school sounds very familiar."

"Perhaps it was a school that you might've... visited a long time ago?" Soun said carefully.

"I don't think so. I've beaten so many school's I've been forgetting most of them. But I
clearly remember having heard it's name. The Everything-Goes martial arts."

"Well, it does kind of sound like our school, sensei." Genma pointed out.

"Right, but there's a vast difference between anything and everything. Perhaps... no, that's
impossible."

"What? C´mon, tell!" Ran-chan yelled out.

"Weeeell... there was a student of mine, long before I trained Soun and Genma... but that
treacherous thief learned all my powerful techniques, tied me up and stole all my food. It's
been so long ago that I had almost forgotten it."

"So this thief stole your moves and developed counter moves. Talk about low." Ran-chan said
ironically. "Perhaps you got it the wrong way around. Maybe you were the one stea..."

"You dare call your sensei a thief!?" Happosai yelled out.

"When you put it like that, yes I do." Ran-chan said teasingly.

"Here's your hot water, Ranma." Kasumi said as she walked in with a steaming kettle.
Ran-chan quickly took it and poured it out over her head.

"Ranma-kun, you're no fun." Happosai growled. "Well, then, I have to prepare myself in the
dojo. Do NOT interrupt me!" And with that the old man was gone.

"He's really taking this serious, isn't he?" Akane asked after a few seconds of silence.

"Well, if what sensei say is true, then he have to be serious." Soun murmured. "It's a
griveous insult to have your food stolen by someone." Soun, so wrapped up in grief, didn't
notice Genma stealing the last piece of fish cake.

"He's right, Ranma." Genma mumbled while chewing down the cake. "It's especially bad if it's
an outsider. As you know, the Anything-school teaches that oppurtunities must be taken when
they are offered."

"Meaning that you would go through any means, including selling off your only heir, to get
a bit of food." Ranma muttered. "Am I right?"

"When you put it that way." Genma replied. Soun, who had now noticed the absence of the fish
cake, glared at Genma.

"Saotome, how dare you!?" His battle aura whirled around him as Soun towered over Genma.

"Tendo-kun, I can explain, I..." And the battle was at full throttle.

"Just another day in the Tendo household." Kasumi said with a smile.

SD Jeikobu: Domo!

SD Ranma : Not this again...

SD Jeikobu: FUGEN!!! Anyway, as you probably have noticed, I am referring to female Ranma as
Ran-Chan and male Ranma is referred to as Ranma-kun by Happosai. Who in turn is
referred to, by himself, Soun and Genma, as sensei. Why is this? Well, in Japan
mr is replaced by -san (at the end of the person's surname), for example,
Saotome-san, Tendo-san. This also works to some extent for women. the ending
-kun is used between male friends and relatives (I think) and usually comes
after the person's first name, or surname too, like Ranma-kun, Tendo-kun and
Saotome-kun. Apparently, girls use this to some extent too, like Akane-kun.
-chan is mostly used between children, childhood friends and girls, like for
example Akane-chan, Ranma-chan (Ran-chan for short, which is also what Ukyo
calls the male Ranma). -chan is commonly used together with a shortening of the
persons name, or a word, like Ran-chan instead of Ranma-chan, Ucchan instead of
Ukyo-chan, and so on. As mentioned, childhood friends usually refer to eachother
with -chan, as do elderly people to young ones. -Sensei is a respectful addition
to your teacher's name, like Happosai-sensei and Cologne-sensei, but only sensei
works fine too. As you might've noticed, Ranma doesn't respect Happosai much and
therefore doesn't use the term Sensei. Then there's also Sempai, which means
upperclassman, like Kuno-sempai. It is often used by Ranma sarcastingly, as
Ranma doesn't have any respect for Kuno either.

SD Ranma : Tsumaranai!

SD Jeikobu: *glasses flash* I'm just trying to make a few things clear. AMAGURIKEN!! *Ranma
and Jeikobu engage in a chestnut roasting upon open fire duel*

SD Mousse : I think I'll take over from here. *Gets splashed with water*

SD Jeikobu: *obviously wounded* I... don't... think so... duck-boy. *gets splashed by water
and turns into a kitten*

SD Ryoga : He he...

SD Akane : Seriously you guys. Anyway, *turns to reader (that's you)* Seems we've got some
difficulties, so we'll have to return later on. Sayonara!!

New Japanese words
Fugen - Silence
Tsumaranai- Boring

Attacks
Amaguriken- lit. Broiled Sweet Chestnuts Blade, commonly known as chestnut roasting upon
open fire. Used more commonly in the anime as an attack, but only as a training
method in the manga.
**^_-***

As the clock moved closer to 12:00 several students began moving towards the football field,
among them Ranma and Akane.

"So, it could be fun seeing how Happosai deals with someone else for a change." Ranma said
with a smile.

"I'd much rather want to know who this "mysterious young man" is." Akane sighed as they sat
down on the grass. No one was standing on the field, not even the young man or Happosai, and
there was the soft murmur of the students placing bets (with Nabiki leading the betting and
odds of course) and opening bags of snacks and bottles of soda. When the clock was about
five to twelve Happosai jumped out from a tree, standing in the middle of the field. He was
dressed in a karate gi, which looked remarkably silly on him (way too big) and he was
looking around with a slight distaste on his face. For five minutes nothing happened. Then,
as the clock stroke 12 a loud laughter could be barely heard under the dings of the clock.
The young man was standing on top of the school building again, laughing loudly. Then, with
one jump, he landed on the football field.
The young man was dressed in a long tattered robe. He drew back the hood to reveal the face
of a blond haired young man with crystal clear blue eyes. He had a slightly mischievous look
on his face and with one swift motion threw away the robe. His clothing seemed awfully plain
compared to what everyone had expected. He was wearing a pair of long darkblue trousers as
well as a bagy black T-shirt. He looked more like an american slob than a martial artist.

The murmuring began anew, as bets were changed, gossip and rumors circulated and more snack
bags were opened.

"I see you have come, Happosai." The young man said in perfect japanese.

"As have you," Happosai noted coldly, "very well. We will end what we began yesterday."

"Not yesterday, 200 years ago." The young man said even colder.

"So I was right, that thief that stole my food..." Happosai began but was interrupted.

"YOUR food!? My great-great-grandfather had been scrounging up that food for months! And you
ate it all in a couple of minutes. And then you stole all his scrolls! How DARE you call my
ancestor a thief!?"

The was a loud "ooh" heard from the audience. Ranma froze.

"If that old man STOLE all those techniques," He thought for himself, "then that means the
Saotome school stole those techniques too." He clenched his fist.

"That's right." Happosai said, smacking his fist in the palm of his hand. "But at least I
didn't kill him!"

"You should have, for when you spared his life you signed your own doom. For 200 years the
Everything-Goes Martial Arts core school have been inventing counters for ALL the scrolls
you stole. You have no chance of beating me, old man!" With that the young man lashed out,
but Happosai jumped up on his clenched fist.

"So, you're challenging the Anything-Goes school, right?" He asked calmly.

"What does it look like I'm doing!?" The young man screamed out, unleashing a torrent of
kicks that Happosai barely managed to avoid.

"In that case, I'm too old and frail to fight you. I chose my heir to fight you instead.
Ranma, come here!" Ranma couldn't believe what he was hearing. The old man was resigning so
that Ranma would fight in his place.

"Of all the nerve..." he muttered as he rose from the grass.

"Ranma," Akane whispered as he rose, "you don't have to do this, it's his fight."

"I know, but since the Saotome School of Anything-Goes was developed from that old man's
style I've got too. It's the only way to regain our honor." Akane looked at Ranma for a
moment.

"Ranma... you..." She began.

"And what about you? Don't you have some honor too? I mean, you're the heir of the Tendo
school, right?" Ranma grinned, "or maybe you're scared..."

"Go out and die!" Akane shrieked and kicked Ranma out on the field. He made some twirls and
landed unharmed on the ground.

"So, you're the heir to the thief. Very well, I challenge you instead, Ranma." The young man
said and entered a stance.

"Allright then, but I've got to warn you, I'm far beyond that old man."

"We'll see... The Everything-Goes have been redesigned to work against aerial combat, your
school's primary technique. Have at you!" With that the young man leapt forward, unleashing
a torrent of kicks. Ranma, of course, easily avoided the kicks and whirrled backwards and
landed on his feets. Another torrent of kicks sent him flying further back, but still
unharmed. "I see you're skilled. Very well then, guess I can employ my techniques to the
fullest."

"You're talking big, but so far all I've seen are kicks." Ranma replied. The young man
smiled and drew up a thin line of silk from his pocket.

"Eat this!" He yelled and unleashed a fury of strikes with the silk, much like the kicks.
Ranma simply jumped up in the sky, but felt a burning pain in his stomach. He flew backwards
and barely managed to land upright. A collective "wooo" went through the crowd.

"Kenpuryuu Agari, Everything-Goes Counter Technique #12." The young man said with a smile.
Drawing back his hands which both held a piece of silk. "The air is your enemy. Let us
introduce eachothers before we begin for real." The young man drew out a long string of silk
out of his pocket, shook it thrice and the thin cloth expanded greatly and became as big as
a futon cover. A few applause were heard from the crowd. The the young man began twirling
around, enveloping himself in the silk. While spinning he said with a clear voice:
"I am Hogosha Jeikobu Kurisu, Heir to the Founding School of Everything-Goes Martial Arts,
Kenpu teishu!" The young man stopped spinning, and was now donned in the silk cloth he had
unfolded before, but now it beared no resemblance to its former form. It resembled a strange
mix between the traditional kung fu uniform (that which Ranma wears) and a karate gi.
Ranma stared in bafflement at Jeikobu.
"Uhh...Right," He began, "I'm Saotome Ranma, Heir to the Saotome School of Anything-Goes..."

"And the founding school of Anything-Goes!" Happosai added.

"...I'm living at the Tendo Dojo, and I accept your challenge!" Ranma said with a grin and
entered a stance. The two fighters jumped at eachother and passed. They landed at the same
time, but Jeikobu fell to his knees.

"Wh-What kind of technique was that?" He managed to say weakly.

"Amaguriken." Ranma said confidently.

"So, you're... using amazon techniques, I seem to have underestimated you. But this is just
the beginning."

***-_-***
SD Jeikobu : Surprise, Surprise! It was me all along.

SD Ranma : I should have guessed.

SD Jeikobu : Anyway, some information. The karate gi is the uniform most think off when they
hear the word karate or martial arts. Akane wears one from time to time. The
kung fu uniform comes in a variety of shapes, many of which Ranma wears.
Also, you notice that the surnames comes first, like Hogosha Jeikobu Kurisu,
which would be Jacob Chris Hogosha (or Guardian if you wish to translate it
such). Kenpu Teishu means Silk Cloth Master, which is just what he is. It is
not a move. More about those grades later in the series.

SD Ranma : So you put yourself in a FanFic, talk about ego.

SD Jeikobu : Kenpuryuu Agari!!! *sends Ranma flying* Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this first
chapter of Anything vs Everything. I can guarantee that there will be more
weird characters in the future, if I can get myself to write it down that is.

SD Happosai: You don't stand a chance against Anything-Goes!

SD Jeikobu : *sweats* anyway, Even though his appearance, Jeikobu is not a foreigner,
although he can probably trace his lineage from Scandinavia. Where, incidently,
the author's from. Anyway, if you like to comment, point out errors or just
talk, send me an e-mail at kurisu@kaio-sama.zzn.com . Oh, and I'm pretty new to
these things, so be gentle. Oh, and I'd like to put some thanks to the Ranma ½
FAQ, which is a great help for me.

SD Mousse : DIEEEE!!

SD Jeikobu : Sigh, see you next time! *goes off fighting*

Moves
Kenpuryuu Agari - Silkdragon's Ascension, a feign attack with a small silk cloth piece, but
as the target jumps up another piece is taken out by the other hand and
smacked into the opponents stomach. Then the first silk piece is shot up
like an uppercut

Errr... perhaps I should tell a bit about this one... :P

I wrote it a couple of weeks ago, and I'm planning to maybe put it up on the Fanfiction.net and I'd need some reviews. Personally I consider it one of my better, but since most of my other fics sucks royal ass-kabob that's not saying much. Oh, and my middle name's Jacob, so that should be cleared up.
