“Growlf!” The Panda screamed as he stopped in front of a tavern. [But Soun,] the beast signed before flipping the wooden instrument of torture and writing around [what about the sake?]
“Hmm… Good point.” The mustached man said. It couldn’t hurt to take some sake with them while they ran away like the cowards they were gave his middle daughter some space to cool down. If some poor smuck ended up missing in the morning, why, he would know nothing about it.
The two were about to enter the bar, when a LEOMA (Low Earth Orbit Martial Artist) crashed into Soun, knocking him into the panda at a high rate, causing them all to crash into the ground and create a small crater. “Ow, dammed RAW.” Came the muttering and dry old voice from on top of the two cowardlyrunning martial artists. Looking down, the two foot tall, nearly completely bald midget troll looked at his two students. “Hey boys! What's up?” It was always so nice to have a soft landing pad. Even if it was his idiotic students.
The two quickly got to their feet. “M, m, m, master… What a surprise!” Soun said, chuckling nervously. Dang it, where were his cigarettes when he needed them?
The diminuative martial artist waved that off. “Yeah, yeah. I'm heading back home now.” Besides, it was around supper time and dang it, he missed Kasumi-chan’s cooking! With Akane gone, he wouldn’t have to worry about food that could knock even him out when he ate it.
Soun panicked as he heard that. “Wait! Master, you may not want to do that!” It wasn’t that he was worried about the master, or Ranma, but there was other things to take into consideration. And he definitely didn’t want to get on Nabiki’s, as she was right now, bad side.
Genma-panda stared at his friend as though he was crazy. Why wouldn’t he want the Master out of their hair? Or what hair he had in his human form. “GROWLF?!” The slightly over-weight Panda quickly flipped up a sign that conveyed his thoughts. [Buddy, what are you doing?!]
The taller man leaned over to the Panda and whispered to him. “Protecting my baby girls, that’s what.” He hissed, the signs of a Demon Head about to erupt. He calmed down when the Panda took a step back and started waving his hands, err, paws back and forth. The middle-aged man turned to his teacher. “Nabiki's mad, really mad.”
The old lecher raised an eyebrow. “How mad?” Honestly, it couldn’t be that bad, could it? Then again, with the way some women acted when they were truly angry… He really didn’t want to think about it.
“As mad as my wife was when you fondled her when she was pregnant with Kasumi.” Was the blunt and straight-forward answer.
Happosai blinked and stared at Soun. He recalled THAT incident QUITE well. "I... See." He said after a few moments. It had taken him around a week and a half to recover from that beating. Who knew pregnant women were so dangerous? Quickly turning and walking AWAY from the house, the old master spoke up, quite wisely. “I suggest a training trip. I hear Kyoto’s quite nice this time of year.” There was no way in hell he’d deal with Nabiki when she was this mad. Heck, he wouldn’t deal with her when she was in a joking mood.
“Yes master, good idea!” Soun quickly said, following the shrimp as he ran out. ‘Dang it! I should have brought my armor!’ He thought angrily to himself. ‘And where’s my cigarettes?!’
“GROWLF!” The Panda exclaimed as he ran after the both of them. However, he was on all fours.
