Chapter 12: Chapter 12: City Guide



Three months...

"Lucas, earth to Lucas are you still here or is Mr. Genius still in space."

"Honey bear, can you pull Lucas back from orbit, he's been spacing out for too long."

"Seems our boy is still shocked at the fact this vacation is going to last three months instead of a week or less."

"I thought this trip wou---"

"Sweetie, our word is final, we are staying here this long and no amount of nagging will change it."

Lucas kept grumbling all the while his parents left the guest bedroom. His parents had chosen to share a room last night, even though Ranma's family had more than enough rooms for everyone. Oddly enough he even sensed a new spell being added to the room last night. The moment it activated he could no longer hear the music coming from the room anymore... Maybe his parents turned off the old-fashioned record player they bring everywhere.

He didn't dwell on that pointless idea any longer, he was still coming to terms that Ranma of all people was going to be his guide for today. He wanted to explore the city with his parents, but they had been here before in the past already.

Mr. Saotome and his wife needed my parents for some kind of project. That left all of them asking(forcing) Ranma to show me around while they were all gone. Yusuke didn't come since he was still chilling in his room, probably playing with Legos or watching tv.

I have no idea what fashion is like in Japan, but a basic purple t-shirt with some grey sweatpants seems like a decent idea. Japan is known for being clean, well it's cleaner than San Francisco, so it's probably safe to wear my white sneakers. My fears of it getting completely ruined in a single trip isn't going to happen.

Can't ask Ranma for any advice for fashion, his little brother told me that the outfit he wears with a few others is his go to options. He wears whatever is available without spending any real time to choose like me.

. . .

Red triangles, blue squares, and many different shapes could be seen flying in the air. All of these shapes were attached to an almost invisible white string. The cries of children could be heard, a ringing noise could be heard all around the area. Laughter was a very present sound no matter where you went around here.

Every so often you would hear a few barks and fetch or some other kind of command. The birds were chirping in the trees, the wind was blowing a gentle breeze on this nice summer day. In the distance in the grassy field a boy and what could be assumed to be a girl were chasing each other.

"Hurry up slowpoke... You say you're a guy, but you can't even keep up with me."

"I'm trying to keep up, but we've been doing this for a while now."

"Ranma why aren't you showing me around, why are we at the park of all places?" Lucas put his hands on his knees before taking a few deep breaths.

Ranma's smile reached his ears before he teased Lucas once again.

"Lucas, if you wanna be a real man, you have to have the stamina for it. My father taught me that a real man needs to have enough stamina in everything important in life. You may look like you, but how can you call yourself a man after only getting tired after only running for 20 minutes straight."

"I know I asked for some help, but why are we training like this? I already train hard enough at home, can't we go to the library or something to learn more? The Japanese libraries probably have different pieces of knowledge in them than those in California. I need power and knowledge, Ranma, can't we train later."

"Cut the crap dude, I'll show you around later after I get a feel for your ability."

"Fine, but can we play tag with those kids over there later?"

"Sure, the kids here are pretty chill compared to my junior high school. I have some sort of rival there at the school, you may not believe me, but the dude is stronger than me."

Lucas's eyes widened for a bit while he stopped resting to chase Ranma down once more.

In the distance, a pair of old ladies could be seen sitting at the park bench watching everyone while throwing some seeds to the ground. Chirping sounds could be heard while they did this.

"You see those two in the distance Kim."

"Ya I see them, seems our Ranma honey got himself a new friend. But they are rather touchy for friends. Ehh... Ranma is too young to be dating anyone yet, chances are the girl is a new friend or something. Well the girl isn't around here for sure, she might be European or American from the looks of it. I doubt she's from Japan, she's probably just visiting with her family."

They went back and forth talking about the mysterious foreigner hanging around Ranma. After that, they started talking about Ranma's mom after a bit.

"Glad to see Mrs. Urameshi finally got her family back. Her youngest son stopped misbehaving ever since the father and older brother came back into their lives."

"Kim, it seems the rumors from back then were false from the looks of it. You still plan on going to Mrs. Urameshi's shop later, right? You did say you were experiencing some lower back pain right?"

"Maybe Doctor Tofu is the way, but if that older Tendo girl visits his shop, my back is the last thing I have to worry about."

. . .

"So Doctor Tofu is a really strong martial artist, and doctor or whatever to boot."

"Ya, he must be great or something for my fiance to have a huge crush on him."

"Sounds like a problem buddy, why would a real man worry about his future wife crushing over another man if he was so great?" Ranma revealed a new weakness and Lucas was like a shark smelling blood in the water.

"Ya keep talking Lucas, you're acting like your house isn't made of glass or something. You should have seen the look of those boys that kept staring at you. I still remember that little kid who ran up to us to give you a yellow flower. What was it again, oh ya, for you pretty lady."

Lucas went to kick Ranma in the leg only for Ranma to instantly dodge the attack. The two ran down the sidewalk, or they did till everyone kept staring at them. They gave in and started to walk calmly like everyone else as Ranma showed Lucas around the city.

. . .

"Ranma, who's this over here clinging to your arm."

"Akane, it's not what you think, I know how this looks, but they are a guy. He's clinging to my arm since he's too tired to walk on his own."

'Ranma boy here kept embarrassing me the entire time we were outside. It's time for some devious payback, this may be embarrassing for me, But the look on his face will all be worth it. Hope his fiance enjoys the show, and hope Ranma brought his A game to explain this away.'

"Akane, huh... that's the girl's name. Ranma are you cheating on me, I thought I was your one and only girlfriend." Lucas started to cry a little as he leaned into Ranma's shoulder.

"Girlfriend. Ranma I thought you said they were a guy." The hollow look on Akane's eyes was telling. 

"Lucas cut the crap already. Akane, I'm telling you the truth, it isn't how it looks." Ranma looked down to only see crocodile tears and Lucas sticking his tongue out.

'I'll get you back for this Lucas'

Five minutes later Ranma could be seen on the ground covered in swelling bumps. While Lucas was laughing the entire time while Akane looked in awe at the situation before her.

"So... you were a guy and Ranma wasn't lying..."

"Thanks Akane, you really are a lifesaver. I finally got my payback somehow in the end."

"You shouldn't do that again Luc...."

"Lucas, it's Lucas, just call me that."

"Like I was saying, what you did can give people the wrong idea about Ranma."

"Ya, ya I get it."

Lucas gave the unconscious Ranma a piggyback ride after struggling for a bit. His entire body gained a light blue aura around it only seen by those who see mana. He waved Akane goodbye before walking back to Ranma's place. 

. . .

A routine was set where Ranma would show Lucas around some days, sometimes they brought Yusuke and other times Akane or her sisters joined in on the fun. Some days they played games, other days they trained like Ranma wanted. 

Every so often they would fight between themselves and those from the Tendo family. In every competition that involved fighting he came in dead last, when game night rolled around Lucas was either king or in the top three.

Oddly enough Akane's oldest sister was the second weakest in the group with me always being first. Ranma's little brother would oddly enough dominate the fights when his silver hair grew longer out of nowhere. Unlike Ranma, Yusuke's entire hair and eyes were pure silver with him having a very dark tan like his father. I think Yusuke may have gained some tattoos when his hair grew longer, but I was never awake to see it.

The journey kept on rolling with not much happening the entire time during the trip.
