“That’s a good kitty. We’ll have you fixed up in no time.”
Scratching her behind the ear earned him a soothing purr, as he convinced her to relax on the bed. Keeping his voice soft and his touch light he was able to stroke several of her drowsyness points without a problem.
Examining her arm he was pleasantly surprised to find out it wasn’t broken, just severely bruised. Hitting a couple of points on her body, that she would surely have complained about had she been awake, he managed to increase the blood flow in her body and unblock her chi paths. Wrapping her arm in an ace bandage finished the job.
‘She may be a bit more emotional for a while, but she should be fine in a day or two.’
He still remembered Cologne teaching him this series of pressure points, using Shampoo as the practice dummy. It was rather hard to forget. For several days Shampoo had alternated between acting like herself and Akane. Glomp and snuggle one minute then a Bonbori to the head the next.
Ranma had adapted the same technique he used on Kasumi, when she had her monthly ‘visitor’, to dealing with the situation. Agree with everything she says, feed her chocolate, and rub her feet.
It was amazing how well that technique worked.
Smiling to himself he turned and found himself facing another bed, containing a sleeping Sabertooth from where he had put him to sleep earlier.
‘Almost forgot.’
Ranma grinned evilly.
He had meant to do this earlier, but having no clothes made accessing his hidden weapons skill a lot more difficult.
‘Mousse could do it naked, no sweat, but then he has over a decade experience with the technique. Still can’t believe he pulled out an entire car that one time.’
Ranma stopped and examined the set of clothes he had ‘borrowed’ from Gambit in a mirror on the wall of the medical bay.
Black pants with the seams reinforced and modified, to allow for a lot greater range of motion then one would expect from skin tight jeans. A simple black shirt that looked like cotton, but obviously wasn’t. Cotton wasn’t as strong as whatever this was. The tiny metal implements hidden in the seams had almost escaped his examination. A quick glance had confirmed they were a very nice lockpick set. The black leather duster wasn’t something to sneeze at either. It was made from some type of lizard and had tons of little pockets inside. Most were occupied by decks of cards and strangely enough, a rulebook with over 2000 solitaire games listed. The boots completed his little ensemble. Black (like everything else he had chosen) leather made of some lizard or other, with surprisingly thin soles and thin steel sections reinforcing the joints and heel.
“Damn, I look good!” He grinned at his reflection in the mirror, “I’m going to have to do something nice for Gambit.”
‘Maybe some additional staff techniques?’
Mentally forcing himself back on track, he reached into his pockets and pulled out a handful of items.
‘Powdered Spring Packet, Waterproof Soap, Blue Dye, Shampoo 110, needle and thread. That should be everything.’
Lets look at…
