However she had also had a habit of acting all superior at times that could be irritating. Her surpreme confidence could be a problem. And the sight of her getting so much embarrasment was definately good to see.
Besides, no one among those not giving a certain boy sparkly looks wanted to get involved with someone who could do that to her, especially when the most wounded thing was her pride.
So, as he pulled out a rope from a nearby pack and hogtied her, the other Senshi just sat back and watched.
"What is this?!" Haruka screeched, "This isn't fair! Let me out of this stupid... GERK!"
Patting the apple he had placed in her wide open mouth, Ranma smiled at his audience. "And that is why you keep your cool in a fight."
"Is she..?" Hotaru asked, her concern clear in her voice.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine. Just give her a bit of rest and a good meal, and she'll be back to normal."
"Ooohh..."
"Still, if she's the best you've got," he said with a sigh, "you guys are really in trouble."
Michiru raised a brow at him. "Is that so?"
"Yes, it is. But don't worry. You can get a lot better."
"How so?"
"Training, of course." The pigtailed boy looked over at certain blonde and smirked. "I can even get you to the point where you could easily take your tied up friend on."
"Who? Me?" Usagi asked.
Rei rolled her eyes. "Oh come on... She is the one that trips all the time, and her coordination is bad to say the least."
"Luck is not something that can just be ignored," Ranma told her, "And her reflexes allowed her to dodge a lot better than some of you."
"That's one way to say it..."
"She does get out of the way of a lot of attacks when we fight the monsters," Makoto commented. "It's not a sure thing
"That could do it. Learning by doing," he confirmed. "If we can help her with that and get her used to using some attacks, she'll be able to beat Haruka."
From her spot, the named girl snorted.
The reincarnated princess on the other hand ran through the confrontations and blinked as she remembered something. Beginning to twidle her fingers, she ducked her head. "Actually... I kind of... already did..."
"You did?" Ranma asked in surprise, "She must be worse than I thought. How'd you manage it?"
"Well... I... uh..."
"Uranus and Neptune," Setsuna put in, "Or Haruka and Michiru rather decided that the only way that they could accept any girl as their Princess was to have her prove herself stronger than them. So a little while after the defeat of the enemy that had been attacking us, they had a fight where they attacked her. She defended herself against the two of them, and in the end, they accepted her."
Shaking his head, the pigtailed boy sighed. "You know what? That has to be one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard of. It sounds like something the Amazons would think up. And isn't a princess supposed to be born to her position, not win it in a fight? What if she was supposed to be like... I don't know, just a healer, or someone who was just royalty?"
"But I used my powers then," Usagi told him, "And I don't know how to fight like she does."
"Trust me, you don't want to fight like she does right now. And when I get done with you, you will be a warrior princess."
"Sounds like it'd need leather," Setsuna murmured.
"Nope. Just a lot of training," Ranma said and smirked while:
