Akane was playing volleyball on her high school volleyball team.  Some
of Ranma's classmates asked Ranma if he wanted to go see the game.
Ranma said that since Akane was there, they would win easily and that
he wasn't interested.  Then Ranma's classmates asked if Ranma didn't
want to see Akane in her volleyball uniform.  But Ranma said that he
didn't.  Then a girl came running in and said that the volleyball team
might lose.

Ranma and his friends rushed to the gym.  They saw that one by one, the
Fuurinkan girls were getting knocked out.  Akane as the only one left
standing.  On the next play someone threw something at Akane.  Ranma,
who was eating some peanuts, threw a peanut at it and deflected it away
just before it was going to hit Akane.  The cheerleading baton flew back
to it's owner.  She was a cheerleader for Seishun who was standing in
the stands above the gym.

That cheerleader had knocked out all of the other Fuurinkan girls.  Akane
jumped up to the cheerleader and argued with her.  Akane said that they
should play fair.  But while they were talking, the Sheishun team kept
scoring points and eventually won.

The cheerleader was Konjou Mariko, from the kakutou cheerleading team.
They had never lost when Mariko cheered.

After the game Akane was crying because they had lost.  Ranma was just
standing there watching.  One of the girls told Ranma to comfort Akane,
but Ranma said that he couldn't.  Then Kunou came and told Akane that
she could cry on his shoulder.  Ranma punted Kunou away.

After the match, Mariko and the rest of the Seishun cheerleaders were
walking back.  Mariko was sad even if her team had won because she was
still missing something.  She said that she hadn't fallen in love.  Then
Kunou came flying and landed on Mariko.  Kunou gave Mariko a band-aid
and walked away.  Then Mariko asked for his name.  Kunou then told her
his name.  Mariko fell in love with Kunou right there because nobody had
ever been so nice to her.

The next day Ranma was running to school.  An old woman splashed water
on him.  Then Kunou came.  Kunou asked Ranma-chan to come cheer for him
in the kendo team match next week.  Ranma-chan said that she wouldn't,
but some batons came flying at her.  Ranma-chan used Kunou as a shield
and the batons hit Kunou.  Then Mariko and her cheerleaders appeared.
Mariko said that she would cheer for Kunou.  Ranma-chan noticed that it
was the same girl who had made Akane cry the day before.

Mariko asked Kunou who Ranma-chan was.  Kunou said that she was his girl
friend.  Ranma-chan asked Mariko what would happen if she cheered for
Kunou.  Mariko answered that they would be enemies.  Then Ranma-chan said
that she would cheer for Kunou.  Ranma-chan and Mariko decided that they
would fight in "kakutou cheerleading".

The news spread throughout the school.  Ranma-chan practiced with the
batons.  Kunou tried to run up to Ranma-chan, but she threw the baton
and knocked Kunou out.  Then Mariko appeared and helped Kunou up.  She
told Ranma-chan that Ranma-chan would lose.  She said that cheerleading
was "love" and that Ranma-chan didn't have it.  She told Ranma-chan that
she would do anything Kunou told her.  Then Mariko said to Kunou, "You
can do anything you want to me."

Everyone was shocked.  They couldn't believe it.  Then Kunou told Mariko
to close her eyes.  Mariko closed her eyes and waited for Kunou to kiss
her.  Instead of kissing her, Kunou pulled out a marker and wrote all
over Mariko's face.  Mariko didn't get angry.  Then Kunou said that he
would give her a kiss.  They were about to kiss.  But all of the other
boys ran up to them to try to break it up.  Mariko beat up all of the
boys.

Ranma-chan was watching.  Akane went up to her and told her to quit it.
She said that in order to win at kakutou cheerleading, Ranma-chan would
have to go through a very sad ordeal.

Mariko was beating up the boys, and Kunou was very happy.  Ranma-chan
went up to Kunou.  Kunou became very happy and hugged Ranma-chan.  Then
Ranma-chan kicked Kunou.  Kunou became very sad.  Mariko came over and
cheered for Kunou.  Kunou became happy again.

Mariko said to Ranma-chan, "If you want to defeat me, you have to love
Kunou more than me."

Ranma-chan thought about it, and fell down.  But Ranma-chan got up with
her will power and guts.  She told Mariko that she would accept the
challenge.

At home Akane told Ranma to give it up.  Ranma told Akane to shut up.
"Keep out of it.  I can't lose this."  Akane said that it was a stupid
contest.  Ranma got mad and shouted, "Who do you think I'm doing this
for!"  Akane asked if Ranma was doing it for her.  Then Ranma replied,
"It's not that.  I'm doing it for saotome martial arts."

Ranma poured water on himself.  Kunou came, but Ranma-chan hit him away.

Mariko had a large wall-sized poster of Kunou in her bedroom.  She
kissed him good night.

Akane was worried about Ranma.
