Ranma was in his own world as he made his preparations. He took training seriously. Especially when his father was watching over him. Ranma has a ton of pressure from his father, he uses his harsh tactics to make him stronger. ❝ Oh? ❞ He said as he came back into reality. ❝ Sureeee. You just wanna tag along so you can criticize everything I do yeah? ❞
Once his backpack was secured. he crossed his arms behind his head. Honestly, he wanted her to tag along. He wanted Akane to see him become stronger and how strong he was already. He loved to show off. Of course he wouldn't say any of this out loud. He rather just be a jerk about it.
❝ Well, I'll make sure to thank Kasumi for saving me. ❞ He gave a foolish grin, laughing to himself. ❝ Seriously, you better not complain. I'm ready to push the limits with my training. ❞
❝ I'm not tagging along because I like you or anything, @proudfighter ! ❞ And if she does, who even cares ( she knows he doesn't ). ❝ I - I'm doing it because ━━ ❞ C'mon Akane, think of an excuse, a great one that won't make him suspect anything. ❝ Because my father ordered me to ! ❞ Not entirely wrong yet more than an order it had been a SUGGESTION.
His monthly trip for an intense weekend of training has come and just like before she wishes to go. Behind her rough exterior Akane shows her tenderness in the constant concern she holds for the other, worrying endlessly on her mind though never saying it out loud. She wants to make sure he'll be SAFE AND SOUND from beginning to end, a guarantee that everything will work out regardless of the adversities they come across to. Perhaps if he knew of such thoughts, he wouldn't be so reluctant to let her join. . .
❝ I WON'T COOK this time so you can rest assured. ❞ A slight frown mixed with a flustered look is all she has to offer. ❝ And Kasumi packed enough food for the three of us. ❞ Yes, three, of course Mr. Saotome was going to be with them. ❝ Hey ! Are you even listening ? ! ❞
STARTER CALL.
Ranma was surprised at how much this stranger was looking out for him. He wondered if she went around just helping everyone. Just as long as she didn't see him as weak, he wouldn't mind too much. ❝ Listen I said.. ❞ The other didn't hesitate to grab his hand and pull him over. ❝ Is there a reason you care so much? ❞
Though he started to follow her, he slowly removed his hand from her grip. The more he thought of it, if he didn't take care of this now, Akane would probably end up worrying about it so, might as well accept her help.
❝ So, you got first aid kits on hand or what? ❞
SHE WOULD MIRROR THE ACTION, thankful however that her own cheek wasn't bruised like his. A thoughtful and curious little furrow of her brows given, as she continued to look him over.
Heck, she almost had a good mind then to try and wave her hands at the pouting boy to stop doing that! It was already turning a deep, DEEP PURPLE. (It was pretty scary how bruises can change to such extreme colours overtime) And while he might appear unaffected then, it... well, it still wasn't good to apply pressure to it like that!
... Sigh, were all boys like this? What was it with them always getting into FIGHTS?
"You say it ain't, but--" With a huff, the young girl would then reach up like an exasperated little sister to finally stop him from pressing that ever-blossoming bruise further into his palm. "C'mon, bro, let's get ya some ice fer dat bruise." She wasn't gonna leave him be, until he had at least done that.
It was already strange for him to have someone approach and be worried about his fighting. Ranma never really worried how he looked to others, especially when he was in combat. Now suddenly this person was worried and apologetic. This day has been interesting, to say the least.
❝ I know it seems strange but, it's been this way my whole life. Though I will say, ever since I came back to Japan... it's like every other person has it out for me. I'm just trying to defend myself. ❞ He says with a shrug. Ranma wouldn't turn down a fight, but he would also prefer if he didn't have watch over his shoulder every second.
❝ You don't need to be sorry. ❞ He began scratching the back of his head, and expression of the awkwardness he felt now. ❝ I'm guess you're not around here often if that was so abnormal to you. Can I ask.. have you ever done any fighting. ❞
Maybe it was good thing she didn't really leave her bubble most of the time; her place of residence since the outside world could be UNPREDICTABLE. She was only in town to visit her uncle since her relationship with other family members outside of her mother was SPARCE. The scout figured that this part of town was going to be normal. FAR FROM IT.
However, Ami managed to REEL herself back in since, truth be told, she was indeed yelling at a stranger & that was UNLIKE HER. Slight embarrassment began to set in & threated to creep up & present itself on her person. She cleared her thoat. ❝ I fail to see how this is NORMAL . Martial arts , yes , but to do it in such a fashion where people can get hurt . . . ❞ Ami let it go. This was not her business & all of this did catch her OFF GUARD.
In order to mend the bridge, she gave a bow to the young man. ❝ I will take your word for it . I'm sorry for YELLING at you . Just please . . . if you can HELP IT , just be careful . ❞ Sure---like this STRANGER would listen but, it didn't hurt to extend the branch.
Ranma was quite shocked that he was being called out by a stranger, though it's not the first time he's been yelled at like this. ❝ Whoa, relax. ❞ She seemed really upset and he wondered why. Perhaps it's her first time being around here. It didn't matter much to him, he just wanted to leave and stop being yelled at.
❝You're sure yelling at me like Akane would. ❞ Ranma sighed. ❝ Listen, I don't know if you're new here but, this type of thing happens all the time. Plus, it ain't my fault there were explosives. People challenge me left and right and I have to deal with it. ❞ He shrugged and stretched out his arms.
❝ I'm a martial artist. It's what I do. What we all do. If you're done complaining, I gotta get going. ❞
She couldn't help the fact that the LOUD SHOUTS from the gathered crowd drew her attention as well. As much as Ami would like to better in some aspects, she was still a NOSY TEEN & there was no fighting that. In fact, she though it was possibly just a traveling act? Something SIMPLE & FUN. Not a fight that had with it added EXLPOSIVES. The fact that the crowd wasn't stopping this was already alarming & the boy who DANCED around like it was just another day was jarring to watch.
But it finally stopped & the shock of what she just witness did not subside. The look of WORRY mixed a bit of AGITATION was plastered all over her face. Ami found herself slightly stomping over to the other. ❝ Just what were you doing ? ! You could have gotten yourself & others HURT ! ❞ Ami didn't even ACKNOWLEDGE the name he called her. ❝ This was unacceptable ! Having a fight in the middle of the street ! Have you no manners ? ! ❞

@seachant asked: "you're not a very convincing liar."
Her tone indicated that she truly didn't believe him. ❝ Listen... I... ❞ There was one reason he was in the girls washroom and it was a good reason. But it wasn't easy to convince people when they weren't familiar with the type of curse Ranma had. He thought being blunt for once would prevent her from being angry, but it didn't seem to be working.
❝ I get it, it isn't easy to believe I can just switch between being a boy and a girl but it's true... I promise I wasn't spying in on the girls! Or you! I'm not a pervert! ❞ Ranma scrambled to say everything all at once. He often was categorized as one, and it got him into trouble. There was no truth to it though! Ranma has had to fight back many accusations. His chaotic antics usually lead him into these situations, but it's on accident. Mostly.
❝ Again I'm sorry I... I could prove it to you if I had some cold water but... ❞
