So no one was surprised when the teacher blinked as he turned to the student in question, who he had merely sent on an errand earlier. "Is there something the matter?"
"Nothing bad," the girl admitted, and seemed to have a problem deciding if she should look to her fellow students or the teacher. "The new boy? The one who beat up Kuno? I just heard something big about him. He's married to Kasumi Tendo!"
Oddly enough, Nabiki found that she was not shocked by the situation at hand. To tell the truth, she'd basically been expecting this, since neither her sister, or their brother-in-law had been really skilled in keeping secrets. It was like trying to keep water in an origami cup. Sooner or later, the water would break through.
At the same time, every eye in the room had turned to her.
Sighing to herself, she pinched the bridge of her nose and wondered how she should, or could, handle this one.
The plan was pure and simple, and Ranma knew that was the best sort of one that he could come up with. All he had to do was to get to the soccer field and he could turn around to thrash this jackass. It wasn't as if the older boy would be that much of a problem, since he tended to have a fairly rigid adherence to forms when he attacked. About the only problem that he had was in getting to the place, and that wasn't much of one, considering how easy it was to dodge the guy's strikes.
All he had to do was get past the pool, and he'd be there. His shoes made contact with the concrete barely enough to keep him moving forward, and the scent of treated water was deep in his nose. There was no way to miss what was going on from there, as the area was level and flat, and he planned on using it to gain some speed and time.
Halfway along the side of the pool, he knew that he should have taken a different route. At that moment, Kuno leapt at him, coming from his right side with a downward slice of his bokuto. That made Ranma have to leap to the the left. The elder boy's momentum forced him to follow in the same direction.
And they both wound up in the water with nice big splashes.
It took only moments for the transformation to register on Ranma's senses, and by that time he had already become a she. Fortunately for her, swimming wasn't hard at all, as she still had the same sort of skill level in it that she had before, even with the added curves and bumps of this form. Yet, she didn't care much about that right then, as she knew that if anyone found out about her, it would be a very bad thing. Since she didn't want to make her father-in-law's fears be realized, she decided that it would be simpler if she just got the hell out of there.
Unfortunately for her, Kuno had the sort of luck given to small children and complete idiots. He floated right over her when she was coming up to break the surface, which put her back against his chest. That jolted him, and he automatically reacted as his mind focused on what was important to him at the moment. He was not about to allow the deviant to go free, so he wrapped his arms around the cretin and held on tight.
"I FIGHT ON!" the kendoist declared, fully intent on going on with the total defeat of the individual in his arms. However, the figure was smaller, and what was on the chest happened to be rather full, firm, and sized to fit into his palms rather delightfully.
"Let me go!" yelled Ranma, who wasn't too pleased with the route that this was taking.
Kuno, surprised by the pitch of the voice, squeezed his hands on the paired parts that he were confusing him.
No one would have needed to be told that Ranma was absolutely not happy at all with that action. Grabbing the guy on her back by the head with both hands, she tore him off of her, and flung him away so hard that he impacted one of the fences that lined the pool area. Then, literally leaping out of the pool, she flipped over the fence and ran off to get away from that overly touchy pervert.
Laying upside down, Kuno crossed his arms, and slipped his hands into the sleeves as he took on a thoughtful expression. He recalled that Saotome had fallen into the water at the same time that he had, but he knew that he had not been holding onto the one that he sought to punish. It had been rather pleasing to touch what had obviously been a female body, but had not been aiming for that. In fact, he couldn't tell why there had been a fully dressed girl in the water who had obviously not wanted to be in it in the first place when he had been certain that no one had been in it when they'd come there. Only when he had knocked into Saotome had there been anyone in the pool, and there had been only one set of splashes.
Well, if there was no other time when she could have gotten into the water, she must have been forced to when Saotome and he had gone in. Whether it was by Saotome's direct action, or by the deviant positioning her into being an obstacle in his pursuer's path, it didn't matter. She had been made to go into the pool, and then the despicable degenerate had obviously put her into Kuno's path in order to occupy the righteous will of the heavens as he ran way. No doubt he did not think of the girl's feelings as he had done so, and hadn't cared about what sort of position that would put her into. In that case, there was only one thing to do, and that was to pursue the fool with even more vigor than before, and mete out a punishment for this latest transgression.
"Saotome, you filthy wretch! Do not think that you can escape!" Kuno declared, while:
