for the take out race being a meeting with 'Mr. China'. That had been a
real
fiasco. Not this time. Even Pantyhose knew these guys had the item they
claimed, since he was taking the competition so seriously. Soon, Ranma
would
have the next best thing to a cure in hand, once the officials showed
up.
I thought seeing China was the prize for the acting contest where Akane
played Juliette.
Oops. Well, Ranma's been through so many of them, it's no surprise he's
misremembering things. :)
"You pervert!" she exclaimed, punching him hard and sending him into a
wall,
which collapsed around him from the impact and fell on top of him. When
the
dust settled, all that was left was two yellow booted feet sticking up
from
the rubble.
No ruby slippers?
No. Flash didn't wear them. :)
"Getting a few splinters is somewhat less risky than being doomed for
answering a few questions wrong." Akane made to walk that way again.
Okay, that was a perfectly rational answer. Who is she and where's
the real Akane?
Every now and then some of the poor marksmen in the cast occasionally hits
the target. :)
Tarou's eyes nearly rolled into the back of his head. "This is the
lamest
obstacle I have ever seen." Humoring the two girls, he leaped between
the
ropes.
I'm a bit surprised he didn't bitch-slap them first. Even if they
aren't mimes.
He's a kinder, gentler Tarou. Kachi's a good influence on him. :)
The warrior said, "That counted as your first attack. Not the second.
Not
the third. But the first. A single number, like one, which is indeed the
loneliest number that you shall ever-"
Oh! The Horror! It's fortunate Ranma interrupted him.
Yep.
and praying that the pain would go away. For a moment, the pain
lessened,
but the decreasing pain was accompanied by a feeling of weightlessness,
and
a lack of sensation from her surroundings.
Kachi definitely needs to find out what's causing those episodes.
Having one at a busy moment could be very bad.
True. More on them later.
"Hurry!" Kachiko repeated, her voice all but acknowledging she was
losing
the battle.
It does seem a bit uncharacteristic for Kachi to just try to stop
Tarou. If she was able to sneak up behind him she should have been
able to make a run for the finish line while he was distracted.
Tar slowed her down. She's mucho sticky.
Tarou used the opening to turn tail and run straight for the finish
line.
Kachiko tried to catch up, but stopped halfway when she realized that
between his longer stride and her effort to cover herself there was no
way
she could prevent Tarou from winning. Instead, she turned, tying the
remnants of her shirt into a makeshift top that barely hid her breasts
and
stalked in the opposite direction.
There is still the Rice O'Roni.
True. But she's pissy now.
"So what?!" Kachiko screeched. "It's just a cat! Just some strange !#$%
cat
no different from the thousands they put to sleep every year! You can't
even
keep it because Ranma's terrified of them! Do you think you're great and
wonderful because you saved it?! There are millions of cats out there,
but
only one ring. Which do you think is more important?""
Excellent point. It would also take more than a couple minutes for
the cat to die. Akane could have crossed the finish line and gone
back for it.
But that wouldn't be in the lines of your classic heroism ^_^
"Thorry, your motht Unworthy, but there are no more thin minths. How
about a
thortbread cookie?"
"No, I don't like shortbread. Give me a Samoa."
Do Girl Scouts sell the same types of cookies outside the US?
They're a worldwide megacorporation, of course they do. :)
Rather than speaking any further, Tarou rushed forward. Kachiko tried to
strike him, but he deflected both her attacks. He then grabbed her by
the
face, brought it forward, and kissed her full on the lips.
Breaking off the kiss, Tarou said, "God, you seriously turn me on."
Somehow I'm reminded of when Kachi met Kuno.
Hmm. I didn't make the connection.
"I know you're hot for me too, babe."
A lot.
Heh
Tarou said blissfully, "From other women, my name sounds like
fingernails
across a chalkboard. From you, it sounds like the sweet call of birds
chirping in the spring air." He sighed.
He's definitely in lust.
Yep.
Unable to think of anything that would drive him off, or make him want
to
kill her, Kachiko fell to her knees and began to cry. It was beginning
to
look like throwing herself in front of a truck would be a good thing. At
the
very least it would be less painful than having to deal with a total
creep
like Pantyhose Tarou as a suitor.
"Why does everything have to happen to me?" she wailed.
Let me count the ways. In her prime, she seems to have been even more
of a chaos magnet than Ranma.
It made life fun is all. Sides, many of those around her were chaotic on
their own. Sakura was relatively normal, though.
Yes, Kachiko coming down on Akane was exceptionally harsh, wasn't it?
You'll
glean a little bit of the reasons for her almost irrational ire in the
interlude that's coming up next. Work on it has already started.
Perhaps exceptionally harsh, but I could see why even without any
extra baggage. Isn't the definition of a moral victory getting the
snot kicked out of you?
Heh. Now that I think about it, yeah, only when you lose to people waste
time claiming moral victories.
Thanks for the help. It's really appreciated.
