Not many {young :} girls would have noticed that look from another
girl, but it wasn't lost on Akane. She felt intense frustration
over not even being able to lay hand on Ranma's lithe female
body during the sparring session, but Ranma's gaze pierced
through that frustration and penetrated her heart.
Ranma turned around and felt blood rush to his nose as Akane
rapidly removed her clothes, soon standing there the way God had
made her. He had to turn around as she reached for {those too},
and his cheeks burned furiously, images of what he had already
seen dancing through his mind. Instinctively, he covered himself
up with his towel.
Those what? You probably also want 'to' instead of 'too'.
"Oh, come on," Akane entreated. "You can take another, it's not
going to waste any extra water, and you must be sweaty after
that... even if you didn't have to try {to : too} hard..."
In desperation Ranma grabbed his glass of water and flung it at
his father, who immediately transformed from blubbering man to
growling {Panda : panda}.
"Well then! What are you thinking? You can't marry one of
Tend�'s {daughter : daughters} and support me - I mean, fulfill your filial
duties, if they think you're a girl!"
"Oh yes you do," his {fathers : father's} gruff voice butted in. "We've made
all the preparations to enroll you at the highschool Akane and
Nabiki are going to, so you better go there."
"Furinkan {Highschool : High School}," Akane told me. "It's not the greatest of
schools, but it's not too bad either, and it's within walking
distance."
She soon returned, bearing another heap of clothes, this one
more colorful. "Here, Ranma, this is my old spare uniform, I'm
sure it will fit you {reasonable : reasonably} well. Try it on!"
Glaring at Kun�, Akane spoke up before Ranma could do so. "This
is Ranma Saotome, and you better stay away from her; she's my
FIANCEE!" Akane turned and kissed him full on the lips.
I didn't think you got to the fiancee part in this timeline.
Akane shrugged. "Not really. I mean, not more than any other
classmates. He hasn't been here for very long, either. Actually
that long-haired pretty-boy look kinda pisses me off. I really
don't like boys who try to come off as girls. Umm..." She
fidgeted. "You agree of course, don't you?"
That means trouble for Ranma on so many levels.
Looking carefully for anything that might interrupt or reverse
his transformation, Genma set the {showed : shower} to maximum hot water
and turned the faucet on. He sighed in relief as he once again
became a man.
A boy in the front row scratched his hair and shrugged. "Well, I
haven't been {parcipitating : participating} in these fights before, you know,
seeing as how we always get our asses kicked, but, well... With
the chance for a two-in-one here with both you and Ranma as
prizes, I figure it's worth some bruises. After all, you never
know what might happen."
Not the path of true wisdom.
Nabiki scratched the back of her head. "Oh, sorry about that.
I'll remember to heat next time."
It's interesting to see Nabiki so helpful.
"Well of {curse : course} you... don't, I suppose. My name is Ranma... ru,
yes, that's it, Ranmaru. I have heard of you from... my distant
cousin, Ranma Saotome."
_Perfect!_ he thought to himself. _For once my failure to bring
my boy up properly will work for me rather than against me. Lazy
as he is - unlike me - Ranma will inevitably end up sleeping
later than anyone else in the house, and when he wakes up, he will
have to leave the room to go for {hot : cold} water, and on the way someone
will spot him!_
She froze. Not a sound in the room, except for Genma's {steading : steady : thunderous}
snores. "Well thank God for sound sleepers," she said, smacked
her palm against her forehead when she realized she had said it
out loud, realized that was rather noisy too, and just sighed.
"Ranmaaaaaruuuu..." she hissed. "You, you, you pervert! You deviant!
You STALKER! How dare you sneak into {or : our} house! Sneak into a poor
innocent girl's bed while she's asleep!"
