Ranma, holding his schoolbag behind him with both hands, grinned at her. "Ya did, but ya can always do it again as much as ya like."
"Humble, aren't we?"
"Well, I don't like ta brag...."
She put a hand to her mouth as she tried to stifle her giggles. "I can see that...."
"Well, it's a gift."
"Like what you did for me when you came up with that idea of yours."
"Once I figured it out, it was a real simple thing, ya know," he told her with a shrug. "I mean, all I had ta tell 'em was the truth."
"And hopefully that will stop them from trying to get me to date them. I mean, those jerks didn't even realize that I wouldn't agree with that idiot."
"Then it'll stop?"
"The guys mobbing me? Probably. Kuno? Probably not."
"At least it'll be smoother from here on out. It ain't like anythin' will keep their interest," the pigtailed boy told her as they came up towards the door to the classroom that they would share.
"I wouldn't say that...."
"Why not?"
"You kissed my sister in front of everyone. They're going to be very interested in the situation around it."
"Come on. What could happen?"
After looking him in the eye and raising her brows at him, she turned and slid open the door to the classroom.
The head of every student in the room turned to face that door as one.
"You were saying?" she asked flatly.
"It still might be good...." he muttered under his breath.
"You hope."
"Miss Tendo, please take your seat," the teacher instructed the arriving pair as he adjusted his glasses. "And would our new student come up to the front of the class?"
As it didn't sound like he was giving suggestions, the pigtailed boy merely nodded at his friend, and headed over to stand next to the teacher as she headed to her seat. He didn't know what was going to happen, but he was pretty sure that it would be like the other times that he'd transferred into a new school. All he'd have to do would be the normal 'introduction' bit, and he'd be fine.
"Class, this is Ranma Saotome, our new transfer student. He's just come back from a trip to China, so everyone help him out in settling in to our school. Do you have anything to add, Mister Saotome?"
"Not really. But I do hope that we'll all get along real well," Ranma said with a hopeful smile plastered onto his face.
"That's good to hear. Now, does anyone have any questions for Mister Saotome?"
"When did you become Nabiki Tendo's boyfriend?!" demanded one girl as she shot to a standing position.
A boy on the other side of the class slapped his hands onto his desk as he stood. "Never mind that! How did you manage to be her guy?!"
"You make it sound like she's some sort of monster!" called out a short haired girl.
"Well, she is kind of scary...." another boy murmured. "And she's really intimidating."
"That's not what I meant! I was talking about how she's one of the big girls in this school, and yet he's got her for his girlfriend!"
One girl in the back of the class made the sound equivalent of a shrug. "But you have to admit that she does have a reputation for money loving."
"Right! I hear that every boy that takes her out winds up emptying his wallet! What is the appeal of a girl like that?" asked a boy with glasses.
"Think about it," a light haired boy said, and cupped his hands. "This is Nabiki Tendo that we're talking about. She is a babe, remember. Just those jugs of hers alone.... Her breasts are so full and firm that they just beg to be squeezed!"
A dark haired boy nodded at his words. "Hiroshi's right, but it doesn't end there. I mean, her ass it wonderful too. And those lovely long legs...."
"Exactly, Daisuke! She is one of the biggest babes in our school, and with that confident attitude of hers, she's so sexy that guys just have to see how far they can get...."
That got him a whap upside the head from a girl with a ponytail. "Don't be so crude, would you?"
"But we were only telling the truth," Daisuke protested.... and got the same treatment as his friend.
"Listen to Sayuri, and don't talk," growled the brown haired girl who'd hit him. "That's our friend's sister, and we don't want you treating her like... like... some sex object!"
"But she's his girlfriend, Yuka. She could have done it with him.... OW!"
"If they did that, then it would be their business, pervert!"
"But you do have to admit that it's kind of odd that someone just comes out of the woodwork and kisses her like that," drawled a bored looking boy.
"And even if she's a looker, she's been nothing but a bitch as far as a lot of people are concerned...." sneered a boy with a slight spike to his hair... who immediately gulped as soon as he finished speaking.
That was due to the way that Ranma was glaring at him, and how his fingers were holding on to the teacher's podium, with the wood cracking audibly as he did so.
Akane's reaction matched his, right down to where she was about to pull off a chunk of her desk to chuck it at someone.
Those in the class knew that it might be time to dial back the intensity of their questioning for a bit.
"If you're done...." the teacher murmured, while:
