Akane paled slightly and thought for a second. "Ah, Hibiki-sensei
taught
me a couple years ago for about a week before leaving unexpectedly."
Ryoga nodded. "Didn't think Mom taught anybody but me." He shrugged.
"Oh, well. I can show you where you were making mistakes."
Hmm, well there was never any indication on where Ryouga
learned about what he tried teaching Akane, however he only gave her
one lesson then got lost for the rest of the week. Most of what she
learned came from practising with Ranma, and having her experience with
Kodachi as a motivator.
>From the stand point I'm coming from for this scene. Ryoga did show
Akane a kata that first night and she spent most of the week trying to
learn it and eventually did. Kodachi was a good motivator to learn it
and Ranma was there to help her, well, take the kata from forms to be
usable in an actual fight as Akane didn't learn anything beyond that one
kata from Ryoga.
"Why?" Akane looked at him suspiciously.
"I just want to do something to make up for the last time I was here."
Ah good, without that little kiss goodnight, Ryouga isn't
fixating on Akane. This'll have a huge impact on his developing
character, which'll be interesting to see. Though I wonder if Akane
will try looking for information on Akari and trying to set her and
Ryouga up.
Would depend on how Ryoga is acting and if Akane thinks he needs a girl
to help control him. Nabiki might go snooping for information on Akari
before Akane would.
Akane flopped into bed. Ryoga may be a good teacher but he was a slave
driver. Something bugged her and then she remembered. She rolled out
of
bed as Kodachi drove two spiked clubs into the mattress. Akane
grimaced.
Kodachi was very serious about removing her this time.
Hmm, so without the romantic obsession Ryouga seriously tries
to push her as far as she can go. Interesting.
Ryoga also pushed her in the manga, this time, however, Akane had basic
training. Before he pushed her to make sure she could even use the tools
for the fight, now he had the chance to teach her more than the tools
and a kata.
Likewise the way Kodachi's impersonal opposition to the
opponents of her school is becoming a very personal vendeta against
Akane.
Getting punched in the stomach would tend to take things to being more
personal, especially considering Akane's strength.
Ranma caught the scent of flowers and turned toward the window. He saw
a
pair of predatory eyes look at him, and then Kodachi was gone.
Hmm, The Black Rose might set her eyes on Ranma after all, but
this time as a calculated attempt to hurt Akane by takeing away her
fiancee. Hmm, if she saw Akane acting extra friendly toward
Onna-Ranma, she might do somewhat odder take on her brothers "I shall
have them both" routine. Then again that idea may be crazier than
Kodachi would act.
I have my plans, and now that Hell weeks are mostly done where I work, I
should be able to finish chapter 13 soon.
