Akane immediately perked up at the thought of training with Ranma (hopefully with Ranma actually being serious about said training.) Her sisters on the other hand...
"Uhm... no offense, Saotome," Nabiki said, slightly worried, "but I'm not sure I want to leave myself in the hands of neophyte instructor..."
"Oh, I'm sure we'll be just fine, Ranma!" Kasumi said, smiling. Although, her smile was a little forced...
Ranma snorted. "You are going to learn how to fight, one way or the other. You can either learn from me, and learn to do it right the first time, or you will learn on your own, and probably pick up all sorts of bad habits along the way that will only end up with you getting hurt a lot. And it will take you much longer to do it."
"Look, Ranma," Nabiki said, a bit desperately, "I'm sure you mean well, but I don't want to be running down the street with leg weights on. Or some of the even crazier things your father has done to you..."
Ranma snorted. "My old man can be a bit crazy, but he's a damn effective instructor. And, I've been keeping track of what works and what doesn't. Pops always told me that I'd be expected to train others, so I've been working on that for a long time..."
"But won't people become suspicious if you start training us?" Kasumi asked.
Now Ranma smirked. "Nah. If they ask, we just tell them the truth: with all the crazy stuff going on these days, I want to be sure you three know how to defend yourselves... properly."
Nabiki blinked. Did Ranma just come up with a very decent way to detract attention without lying? Amazing!
"So, what are you three waiting for! Get up! Before I can train you, I have to know what I'm working with..."
