[Episode 103902] [Episode 103902]Ranma walked down the street and away from the bar, a frown on his face. He didn't like waiting around doing nothing, it usually gave a chance for his bad luck to make an appearance. During his training trip, while Genma had been a constant source of grief, Ranma didn't find his past catching up to him. It wasn't until they settled down that his problems really started.
While the pigtailed demon knew on a conscious level that those problems would've caught up with him anyway, the situation still left a negative impression on him. Now whenever he was idle he was expecting something bad to happen around him.
He continued walking without course and saw several students obviously making their way to school. "I wonder how everyone else is doing." There was no doubt in his mind about what he was going to do to those that betrayed and murdered him, but he didn't really know what to make of the others. Some of them he even came to consider friends in his stay in Nerima. "Guess they're not important anymore." The pigtailed demon muttered and ignored the students.
Just as he turned around a corner someone two stories up decided to water her plants. A wet Ranma stopped on his, now her, tracks. "Should've known..." The redhead continued walking, now in a really sour mood.
"Help! Plea..." A voice was suddenly heard and silenced from a nearby alley.
Ranma frowned and rushed in with the intent to help the female in trouble. What she ran into was one of the most common occurrences she could remember. "Why is it that perverts always try this stuff with me around?" She asked herself rhetorically at seeing a teenage girl in a school uniform being held and groped by three slightly older boys, all of them dressed ridiculously though they would like to think they looked cool.
The small redheaded demoness was about to step in and stop the three guys when she suddenly went rigid. Her eyes widened in shock when she realized she couldn't will her body to move forward. They then narrowed dangerously when the girl's shirt was ripped open and one of the boys started to grope the breasts roughly, making the girl whine in pain and fear.
The girl, trying to break free and with tears of fear in her eyes, suddenly noticed Ranma standing there and did her best to cry for help.
While her attempt at asking for help failed, it did have the effect of having one of the boys notice Ranma standing there.
If taken from the boy's perspective the situation couldn't get any better. Here he was, having fun with one hot chick, when suddenly out of nowhere came a redhead. And what a redhead! The girl, short and seemingly harmless which is always good, had a huge pair of breasts under a wet shirt with no bra on. It didn't help matters that she was trying to glare at them, which made her look cute instead of scary. "Hey guys. Take a look." The boy finally said with a leer towards Ranma.
Said boys turned, without letting go of their victim, and performed the exact same examination their partner in crime did. "Let her join the party." The one mauling the schoolgirl's breasts drawled.
Said schoolgirl was now openly crying and presented no trouble for the one holding in place so the other two could advanced on Ranma.
The demoness continued to glare at the boys, yet found to her frustration she still couldn't make a move against them. Her mind was working in overdrive trying to find a reason why, but she couldn't come up with anything.
The boys walked to both sides of Ranma and smirked when she remained unmoving, simply staring at them through her cute glare. One of them even reached forward to caress Ranma's cheek.
That's when the pigtailed demoness could and did move. She backhanded the offending boy against a wall and smirked darkly when his body remained unmoving. She then turned her smirk towards the other boy, who was staring at her in open-mouthed shock.
Even the girl was staring at Ranma with wide eyes, not able to believe such a harmless-looking creature could attack another human being so viciously. The trio could easily hear the boy's jaw breaking upon impact. Even now as the downed intended-rapist laid there they could all see blood flowing freely from his mouth.
Ranma turned to regard the other boy in front of her, who was now shaking like a leaf and staring at her fearfully. "Got a cigarette?"
The scared boy nodded dumbly and with trembling hands took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. He gave them to Ranma, who took the items and pocketed them, and took a step back. "Uh... you're not going to kill us, are you?" His eyes widened when he realized the stupid question he just asked.
Ranma smirked and looked at the one holding the girl. "You'd better let her go." She felt she couldn't move against the boys to beat the crap out of them, but from their scared expressions she guessed they'd do whatever she asked. It wasn't surprising to see them rush off after leaving the girl alone, abandoning their partner-in-crime.
The demoness walked over to the girl, who was still sobbing, and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'll walk you home."
---
An hour, and some hot water, later Ranma was walking back to the bar. He was deep in thought about the events that just happened and couldn't understand what stopped him from killing those rapists. He'd never had trouble beating them up before, and now that he actually wanted to kill them something stopped him. The demon was pretty certain Mara would know.
What bothered him the most was the way he was repulsed by the grateful girl. Once she recovered enough of her wits she started thanking Ranma profusely, all smiles and relief. The redhead bolted as soon as they arrived to the Miki's home, wanting to get away from her.
"Where the hell have you been?!" An irritated Mara asked as she stomped her way to him. The words had the effect of bringing him out of his thoughts.
One look at the demoness made him relax. She was obviously pissed off. "What do you care, tomboy?"
