Ranma did as she requested and leapt into the air, shouting in glee
at his triumph. After celebrating for several minutes with his 'Happy
Martial Artist' dance, he threw open the doors to the dojo, ripping
the boards nailed over them off, and raced into the house as he
continuously chanted how he was the better man.
Not Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy? I thought he was the better *man* all
along, except when he gets wet.
"Stupid jerk," she grumbled to herself. They hadn't even gone out on
a date yet, and she was not fixated on him they way she had been on
Bosatsu. There was no way he should have been able to make her react
this way. She didn't {c are : care} for it. Not one little bit. Guys
were supposed to jump when women said jump, not the other way around.
She wanted Ranma reacting to her flattery, not her reacting to his.
She wanted to control the direction of the relationship, if they were
going to have one, which she had not decided yet since they hadn't
even gone on a date to see if there was any chemistry between them.
Now Ranma had thrown the whole plan out of whack with his stray
compliment, which might not have even been a sincere one. It made her
angry.
Kachiko wondered if there were any other girls that found Ranma as
alluring and annoying at the same time as she did.
Just the ones who've met him.
It took Ranma a second to identify the condom. "Just what in the hell
am I supposed to do with that thing?!"
Nodoka rolled her eyes. "Didn't your father teach you anything? Very
well, first you tear open the wrapper then remove it. Then unroll it
on your-"
"I know how it works!" Ranma interrupted before the conversation went
one word further. "What I mean is I don't need something like that on
my date."
Considering how manly he is, shouldn't she be giving him a box, or two?
Kachiko turned to Ranma. "You know magic? That's cool. I never went
out with someone who could do magic tricks. Can you pull a rabbit out
of your pocket? How about the interlocking ring thing? I could never
figure that one out. Or change water to wine? That would be really
cool, and we could drink the stuff afterwards."
Lucky for him she didn't check what he's gots in his pocketses.
"Then he'll end up doubled-over in pain from a couple of knees to the
groin. Did you know the male scrotum actually can be driven into the
pelvic bone about an inch or so?"
She probably knows this from extensive experimentation, but I'm not sure
if any experiments done with Icky are valid.
Ranma side-stepped the thrust and moved forward, striking Kunou in a
flurry of punches and kicks, rendering him insensate within seconds.
Unconscious might work better since he's normally insensate.
"It won't do you any good. You're never going to land a girlfriend.
It's Army of Darkness for you." There was the sound of a ticket being
printed.
This was the last time Ranma was ever coming to this theater.
The name "Strength Through Joy Cinema" and the arch with "Arbeit Macht
Frei" over the entrance should have given him a clue.
The rematch with Kachi was funny too.
