“Stop that!” Akane slapped Nabiki’s hand away from the poor redhead’s breasts. “You’re making her uncomfortable.” Her own face was flushed with embarrassment, and Nabiki leaned in with a smirk.
“Was that scene a little too familiar, Akane?” she teased. Akane shook her head vigorously, determined to not to give her older sister the pleasure of getting to her. Just why DID her sister like poking other people’s breasts, anyway? She was a guy, and even SHE didn’t like to do that. Is it a girl thing? I’ll have to ask later.
“Forget all this crap,” she said to Ranma, whose eyes widened just a bit at Akane’s bluntness. “Do you want to spar? You’re going to inherit your own school someday, right?”
“Ranma nods meekly, and Akane turns away before the other girl can see her cheeks redden slightly. She’s so shy! It’s so cute!
The pair stepped into the dojo and Akane slipped into a ready stance. Ranma merely stood there, watching innocently. “Ready?” Akane asked. “It’s okay, I won’t hurt you.” The girl nodded shyly again, and Akane rushed towards Ranma with a series of quick punches and kicks. Ranma managed to dodge every one quite deftly.
“What’s wrong?” Akane yelled, “Attack me!” And she swung her leg around, thinking that this time Ranma would HAVE to fight back or get hit in the head, only to see that her sparring opponent had disappeared! Then, feeling a tap on her shoulder, she turned around to find Ranma grinning sheepishly behind her.
“Wow!” she said, impressed. “You’re pretty good!” Akane exclaimed, wiping herself down with a towel. “I’m just glad you’re a girl.” Ranma is so sweet! When I turn back into a guy, I can definitely marry this girl and uphold that ridiculous promise our fathers made.
“Eh?” Ranma said, taken aback by Akane’s statement.
Akane flinched. Good going, Akane. It isn’t like you can tell her what you were thinking. You’ll just scare her off. “It’s just…I’m really glad you aren’t a guy. Come on, let’s go inside.”
“Oh, Ranma,” Kasumi called out sweetly when she saw the little redhead tailing behind Akane. “Why don’t you take a bath? You’re soaked to the bone!” Kasumi pointed Ranma to the bathroom, and Ranma complied, much relieved to be getting a warm soak.
Akane went to her own room to change her clothes and warm-down so her muscles wouldn’t cramp. Twenty minutes later, she re-emerged in a robe and went downstairs to get an extra towel. “Kasumi, is dinner almost ready?”
“You have time for a bath, Akane,” her sister replied from the kitchen, knowing just what her little sister wanted.
