New Days: Unwanted Tugs [Episode 141364]

by Kender

Looking over the board with a hope that it would not be something stupid, dangerous or both, Akane looked over what it was that she was being asked to deal with. Not that she had much of a choice, what with her name already being posted, but she knew that if worse came to worse, she could always refuse to deal with it. She would have done so, had it been something that one of the local perverts had come up with, like bikini mud wrestling, but the girls would never stand for that anyway... but they would have little say when the Kuno patriarch was involved. Of course, she wasn't one to run away in any case, and would make certain that she'd handle whatever would come her way.

So, she hoped against hope and actually smiled for a moment when she saw that she was going to be doing the 'tug of war' event. That was simple enough of an idea, and she knew that she'd be pretty good with it. After all, she was a martial artist, and the event wasn't anything fancy. The only thing that she'd have to do would be to pull a rope better than her opponent and manage to win the contest. Since she was stronger than a lot of girls, something even Ranma admitted to when he made his stupid insults, she didn't see how she could fail.

Rather than keep at least one part of the whole mess reasonable, it was being set up so that the girls would have to pull the rope over something some idiot had probably thought would be a 'good idea'.

"When I get my hands on the moron who came up with this idea..." she growled under her breath. Unfortunately, she couldn't be sure of who came up with this little plan, but she was reasonably sure that she either knew or could find out who it was. However, that didn't change the fact that she was being pushed into a situation that had left 'distasteful' back before it'd even been more than someone's idiotic suggestion.
