That didn't mean that he thought that he had to accept her as his 'bodyguard', and had decided that if she wouldn't leave him alone, he'd go himself.
So it was with waves and smiles that the redhead trailed through the hospital. The nurses and doctors knew what she was doing, and even if it wasn't exactly a regular thing to allow the patients to be traipsing along the halls, familiarity had dulled any complaints in that regard.
Fuu was the one to spot her friend walking by as she looked up from her book. "Did Ranma go again, Hikaru?"
Nodding, the pyrokinetic looked at the other girl. "Yes, he did. He knows that he's got to study, but he's goofing off again."
"I think he likes it less than you do."
"Yeah, but he's really got to do it. So I have to go and find him. He could even get into trouble."
"That's because he can't do what he's told to," Umi sighed as she came up to the two of them.
"I know, but I'm not about to let him get hurt."
"Good for you."
"Thanks..?" Hikaru replied.
"You're welcome. Well, let's go."
"Huh?"
"You've been doing this a lot. Maybe helping might not be so bad."
"Really..?"
"Like I'm going to let my friend do this so many times. Maybe I can make him understand how mean he's being."
"He's not so bad..," Fuu protested.
"But he's a boy, and he's being as big a jerk as can be. Someone has to make sure he learns not to be so naughty."
"I see... Ah well, I don't want Ranma to get into trouble. And I'd think that he needs that study time. Maybe I can help him see that it's not so bad..."
"Would you?!" the redhead asked with a hopeful expression.
"Sure," her blue haired friend replied, "What are friends for?"
The three girls nodded to each other and headed out together in search of a certain pigtailed boy.
And so it started. Fuu and Umi slowly started helping in the searches for Ranma with growing regularity. Both girls added their own concerns into the mix of actions, as the blue haired one constantly pushed Ranma to be more 'grown up', and the other took the time to study with him. He felt rather bowled over, but in the face of their joined front, he had little choice. Plus, with three sets of eyes keeping a watch on him, it wasn't as easy to get to continue with his antics.
Even with the annoyance at having three girls being little 'mother-hens' to him, he did have a soft spot for his trio of friends.
