Even after having spent an additional three minutes in the classroom, beyond her normally allotted time, she knew she had enough time to enjoy Kasumi’s homemade lunch without rushing.
Ukyou spent the first half of lunch cooking for the other students before eating her own, so she had plenty of time to figure out the best way to persuade Ukyou that, like they taught in Kindergarten, Sharing was a good thing.

Ranma’s stomach woke him. He could actually hear the echo of the growl it had let out.
Blinking blearily he glanced around the empty room.
He remembered … Rei feeling up Shampoo… *Thunk*
Ranma’s desk had jumped half a foot.
Ranma winced and started entering a light trance.
Contrary to popular belief, Genma hadn’t completely neglected Ranma’s training in the spiritual side of the arts. He’d just made sure it was rather narrowly focused.
‘I am the master of my body, it is not the master of me. I am the master of my body, it is not the master of me. I am the master of my body, it is not the master of me. I am the master of my body, it is not the master of me.’
Ranma relaxed a little as he felt his heart rate slow and his condition subside.
“Thank you, monks.”
Ranma firmly believed that if it wasn’t for the Tibetan monks Genma had taken him to visit when he was 10 he wouldn’t be a martial artist today or if he was he’d be a lot like Happosai.
Quickly sewing up the tear in his pants, he tried to recall exactly what had happened to him.
‘Rei and Shampoo… I am the master of my body, it is not the master of me.’
Ranma took a deep breath and started again. ‘OK, Rei and Shampoo were becoming… friends.’ Trying to keep his thoughts focused, on something other then what it seemed to want to focus on, he thought about what that meant.
‘They’ll get along better and I’ll get to eat more of Shampoo’s cooking.’ Ranma’s stomach rumbled happily at the thought, diverting blood and helping Ranma keep control of himself.
Relaxing a little, Ranma followed that train of thought. ‘They’ll spend more time together and more time together with me. They’ll both want to…’
Ranma felt a wave of heat course through his aura.
‘I am the master of…screw this!’
Ranma quickly dropped the light trance and focused on the Soul of Ice, sending cold chi surging through his heated aura.

Across town Happosai paused in mid leap. ‘I sense a disturbance…’
Unfortunately whatever he was thinking was lost, as his momentary distraction allowed The Christian Women’s Volley Ball League to catch and spike him out of midair.
The impromptu game, using Happosai as the ball, attracted quite a crowd and made it a red letter day for the local vendors.

Ranma sat unmoving as the air around him began to stir. The Soul of Ice struggled with his raging libido and self control, sending streams of hot and cold Ki into the air surrounding him.
Ranma gave up trying to keep control while thinking of the two and desperately grasped at something he was sure would calm him down, school!
Rei had dragged him to school and he had sat at his desk as usual. Ms. Hinako had lectured on how to conjure verbs and bridge nouns, or something like that. Ranma had just managed to regain control, as the falling wind around him demonstrated, when his treacherous photographic memory kicked in. Ms. Hinako had….
The sounds of glass breaking echoed through the quad, as desks went flying.
