Ranma glanced at the boy in front of him. There was no way this kid
could be a martial artist of his caliber. He didn't doubt his own skill

taught a lesson anyway for lying. "Okay. You want to step outside?"
Doesn't he have any compunctions about picking on a little kid?
When his ego is concerned, not very many ^_^
Besides, if Ranma could prove that he was better than Akane at the
beginning of the series without any damage he could easily do it again
now.
Kasumi smiled as Ranma's face finally settled into understanding. He
knew that she was angry with him. She wondered if he knew that it also
reaffirmed her interest in him. Rather than give Ranma a heart attack,
Kasumi decided to keep that little tidbit of information to herself.
Just when she thought Ranma would be forever stuck in immaturity, he
ended up changing her opinion again. Mousse had been so grateful, he
had offered to treat them to ramen the next night. Younger men did not
mean _young_ Kasumi was beginning to find out more and more these days.
Odd that she should think this, considering that she's been pretty much
mothering him this whole chapter....
Just her way and how she acts. What concerns her is how Ranma acts.

The End. (maybe)
Maybe, but....
er... should really stop using that to end my stories. ^_^
Upcoming Fics:
Man Enough 3
I guess not, then. :)
Overall, this was pretty good. Ranma seemed to be handled pretty well.
As for Kasumi, it's a bit mystifying why she has such an interest in
Ranma now after having none for 38 volumes. I hope Akane isn't just
being quietly moved out of the way by being set up with Yuka's cousin;
that just seems too convenient.

If you think of it, 38 volumes is still less than a year of the cast
actually knowing one another and I'm of the side that nothing is written
in stone and anything can happen. A great many things can change one's
opinion especially in so such a time (But then again, I would have come
up with any old excuse to do this anyway ^_^). I should have been more
clear that the cousin is female she went out as a group and is only a
oneshot. Needed to have Ranma alone.
