Volcano Girls: Letting Ranma in on the secret. [Episode 15327]

by The Major.

Ranma looked thoughtfully at the three sisters as he digested the news of their mystic inheiritance. Then his expression firmed and he looked each of three Tendo's in turn in the eye:
"Can you show me the battle you fought against those things in the park? How you fought I mean, not the actual battlefield... although seeing it would be useful come to think of it..."

The three sisters exchanged glances of their own before Kasumi smiled and nodded:
"Certainly Ranma-kun, but it'll need a little care, we'd like to try and keep our identities secret", Kasumi looked around a little as if seeing the dojo for the first time, "and we can't really practice our powers in here anyway."

Akane put her hands on her hips and settled a distrustful glare on Ranma:
"Why do you want to see us fight anyway? Are you trying to figure out counter-techniques or something?"

Ranma met Akane's eyes:
"I was going to see if your powers were enough like martial arts that I could offer you useful training. From all the stories at school, and what happened with Kunou... I think things are going to get worse before they quiet down."

Nabiki quirked an eyebrow at Ranma as Akane gawked in stunned silence:
"I'm surprised Ranma. I was expecting you to be much more... resistant... to the idea of us being superheroes and going out to fight. Instead you seem to be saying that you'll do your best to help us."

Ranma turned to Nabiki and shrugged:
"I've had a hell of a time trying to keep Akane safe when she didn't have powers and anyone with half a brain could see she was rushing into things beyond her skill. Now that she's got powers... she'll be even worse I imagine, and I can't be sure I'll be able to deal with super-powered and/or magical opponents. And as for you and Kasumi... I'm not deluded enough to believe that I can stop you doing whatever you want, so you'll both ignore me and do whatever you feel like unless I'm saying and doing things that fit into your plans in some fashion."

Before Nabiki could react, a battle aura sprang up around Akane as she brandished a mallet at Ranma and spoke in a voice dripping with saccharine sweetness:
"Were you implying that I have less than half a brain with that statement. RANMA NO BAKA!"

Having issued her battle cry, Akane jumped at Ranma, who proceeded to dodge around the dojo. Kasumi put a gentle hand on Nabiki and somehow moved the two of them out of the dojo without being touched by the battle inside. As they left Kasumi turned, ignoring the cries of "BAKA!" and "Kawaiikune Tomboy!" from the battling pair and said in a soft voice that cut through the din:
"Nabiki and I will prepare things for a quick evaluation trip. Let me know when you 2 have finished playing."

Then Nabiki found herself outside and about to enter the house as Kasumi spoke in a musing voice:
"It would be simplest to just go back to the park in our other forms and re-enact things I think, but in that case Ranma will need a disguise. Cold water would be a good start, but Onna-Ranma will need some sort of costume as well, possibly a wig... hmmm... perhaps...? Do you have any ideas Nabiki-chan?"

A broad smile spread across Nabiki's face. It had been a while since she got to play 'dress-up' with Onna-Ranma.
