[Episode 103565] [Episode 103565]Ranma’s danger sense flared as he went from half asleep to full combat awareness in the space of a heartbeat. That voice still sounded in Kasumish tones but the undertones could have been used to shave dry ice.
There was only one way he was getting out of this alive. He would have to break out his most closely guarded technique. The one he saved for when he believed all was lost and death beckoned. Fortunately it was a technique he had developed and practiced until it was perfected. It wasn’t something stupid like ‘The Crouch of the Wild Tiger’ either. Nope.
He had developed this technique after sticking his foot in his mouth one too many times around Kasumi. She was the most patient and understanding person he knew and the closest thing to a mother he had at the time, so making her frown would be something that would require seppuku to expunge.
Happosai had taken him aside and shown him where to learn what he needed to refine it to perfection. Timing and the correct words were the key. He had seen many try it and those that failed burned so spectacularly that you couldn’t do anything but wince at the remains.
It was called ‘The excuse of the guilty boyfriend! ’.
You have to exclaim the truth as quickly as possible, without misspeaking a single syllable, while cramming in a compliment or two to the insulted female in tones that stated that you were simply speaking the truth as you knew it. Flowers and jewelry were also used if the offense was great enough.
Taking a single second to realize their position and the offense he committed, he briefly wished he’d had the foresight to steal the Hope Diamond.
Taking a deep breath he committed himself to the technique and began.
“Kasumi was the closest thing I had to a mother while living in Nerima. She was also the only person who would wake me without throwing water on me or assaulting me. I mistook you for her because of your gentle tones and kindness in waking me. I had no idea there existed a heart as kind as hers in a body of unsurpassed beauty such as yourself. I got you a pair of earrings, would you like to wear them now?”
Ranma’s right hand lifted off her back briefly to disappear behind his head and reappear holding a pair of the most breathtaking earrings she had ever seen. They were red and blue gems swirled together like a pair of yin yang symbols with gold studs.
She melted sinking back down into his arms and slipping another inch downwards.
