Of course, she hadn't been at all worried over his absence. After all, those nights spent lying in bed wondering where he was were more about being angry that he'd gone off to traipse around who knew where. The idea that he was with some girl wasn't that she was jealous, but rather trying to figure out why he was running off like he had. Her mind couldn't come up with some reason why he'd left her to deal with the idiocy of jerks like Kuno instead of standing by her and doing something.
However, it was something that her own father said that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
"Isn't it good to have the boy back," Genma commented.
Soun nodded. "Yes, and now that he's finished this training of his, we should hold the wedding. After all, I'm sure that after waiting for him for so long, Akane has to be ecstatic to have him back again."
"WHAT?! Where did you get THAT idea?! I haven't been worrying one bit about this jerk!" the girl in question declared as she whirled on her fiance. "And you! Where do you get off running away for no reason?!"
"I had plenty of reason!" Ranma shot back. "If I was going to get strong enough to fight those... things, I had to had to go out and find some techniques!"
"Just great! So you race off just because you lost!"
"So what?!"
"'So', you came back with a stick!"
"It's a special weapon!"
"It's a bokutoh and you could have gotten plenty of them from Kuno!"
"I could not! I had ta go and find it!"
"Then why not go back out and find some more!" she snapped.
"Because there's no way to get more!"
"Maybe you're not looking hard enough! Take as long as you like! I don't care!"
"Why should I?! I've got this one!"
"And what a wonder it is!" she barked as she took the weapon in question.
"Give that back!"
"Why should I?!"
"Because ya could do somethin' ta it!"
"Oh, so now I can't even hold a bokutoh right?!"
"Not this one!"
"Well, let me give it to you, you jerk!" Akane told him as she proceeded to go through a exhibition of the use of the particular weapon. "If it's so important, then you can take it all you want! It's not like I cared that you ran off to who knows where for so long! After all, I wasn't imagining you falling off cliffs or anything! And you can run off to any strange dojo that you want and not worry about me wondering where you went!"
Ranma would have retorted, but he was a little busy with getting a bokutoh repeatedly smashed into his head."
"So go wherever you want and see if I care!"
The weapon came up and slammed into his skull so hard that the blade snapped off and flew away, leaving the handle behind.
But the owner of said weapon was too unconscious, and unable to note that the bokutoh that he'd worked so hard to get was now broken.
So he lay there and groaned while:
