"OUCCCCCCCH!!!!"

	Ranma leapt backwards, blood streaming from his bitten right ear as he
winced in pain.  Then he stared at his opponent in shock as she spat out
the small piece of his ear.

	"Kasumi!  What the hell did you do that for?"  Ranma exclaimed.

	"I thought it was Anything Goes Marital Arts?"  Kasumi replied as she
wiped some blood from her mouth.  "Besides, you told me not to hold
back...."

	"Yeah, but...."  Ranma's voice trailed off as he realized she was
right.  "Okay, but don't do that again."

	"Do what?  Go all out?"  Kasumi inquired.

	"No!  I mean.....Don't bite off a piece of my ear again!"  Ranma
replied in frustation as he assumed his battle stance again.  He was
beginning to regret offering to teach her some marital arts but she had
been so eager to learn and willing to pay for it.  3000 yen for one
lesson was a Real Deal....

	Ranma readied himself as Kasumi came at him again.  Her strikes were
hard and fast, all of them easily being deflected by Ranma.  Then Kasumi
caught him in a clich.  Ranma tried to break free and was surprised by
Kasumi's strength.

	"OUUUCCCH!!"

	Ranma broke free again, this time holding his other ear, bitten but not
as badly as the first.  "Kasumi, what is your deal!?!?"

	"I'm sorry.  It seemed to be the only way to break free...."

	"That's it!  I'm not teaching you any more!"  Ranma proclaimed as he
turned to leave....

	"But I paid you 3000 yen!  I've got more in my purse if you...."

	"Keep your purse!  I don't want it!  And I'm not giving you a rematch! 
Period!"  Ranma growled as he left.

	Kasumi stared after him.  Then she released a long sigh.

	"I'd better stick to backrubs...."


THE END.
