  Lina was shocked at the speed of Ranma's strike. She hadn't even seen it. One
second the man had his hand on Ranma's shirt collar. The next second, Ranma's
hand was extended forward in an open hand strike and the man sent flying
backwards. She had never seen someone so fast before.
  Ranma closed the door behind him and turned toward Lina, "Truce?"
  Lina looked at Ranma.
  "No.....Fireball!!!"

I kind of get the impression that this fight is going to go on for a
while...  until Ranma or Lina gets hungry that is.  After all why let a
good fight get in the way of a good meal.
