This was not one of them.
He stood tall and puffed out his chest as he looked toward a future where he would have secured Akane Tendo's proper treatment from her husband. Why, he could already see the boy honoring her as the delicate and vibrant flower of womanhood that she was. Certainly, if the clod was going to treat her properly, then he would give her over to Kuno, but that was not an option at the moment. Of course, he could also give her the proper respect, and worship her without touching her, as only the 'Blue Thunder' was truly worthy of sharing that fierce tigress' bed, but the concept of cuckolding another man did not appeal to him, especially with the concept of denying him his husbandly rights.
No, he would simply have to do as he planned, and make certain that Ranma Saotome would be a proper gentleman when dealing with his wife. Once Kuno was done with him, he would treat her as the wonderful and rare beauty that she was, and he could be satisfied that she was going to have her happiness for the rest of her life. Even one instance of pain was too much for her to bear, and this would settle it ever so well. As far as he could tell, there was no way that his plan could fail.
Hearing the cackling from the boy standing there dressed in the blue hakama, the nurse glanced over and saw him standing there with his fists planting on his hips, laughing in ways that made each one sound like words. Then, in the spirit of surviving the day, she turned her attention back to her magazine, and looked over the personals in it. When she had gone through nursing school, she'd been certain that she'd be a career girl all the way. Now she was looking to find a future husband, and get all the benefits that such a situation could give her.
After all, she had plenty of reasons to reevaluate her life again, giving what sort of surroundings she had to deal with.
Ranma had never thought that he'd actually like the idea of classwork, but at the moment, he couldn't help but doing so. Not that he actually enjoyed any of the work that went into a day at school, but it did stop him from having to deal with all those aggravating and embarrassing questions. To him, it wasn't exactly something that he wanted to be heading in to, but at least it would get him away from the questions from his fellow students.
A glance over at his wife to spot the tensing around her eyes and jaw confirmed that she was pleased for the moment.
Unfortunately, that wasn't exactly going to be a permanent thing, and, for once in his life, Ranma wasn't exactly looking forward to lunch either, all because of what one girl did.
Over the years, Nabiki had managed to keep more secrets than anyone could guess that she knew. She had taken pride in being able to keep her composure and rationality in any sort of situation. For her, life was something to be faced with logic, self confidence, and intellect. Basically, it was a simple concept, and she was certain that she could always handle it with dignity and a dedication that was absolute.
At the moment, she was feeling the urge to smack her head against her desk. It wasn't as if she had done something... wrong, but what she had done had not exactly been smart either. It had robbed her of the opportunity to handle things without anyone else being the wiser, and had spread the news in the fastest way possible. In fact, it was also going to be the kept on people's mind, as her unintentional outburst had resulted in her sister's marriage being on everyone's mind. To top it all off, it was going to do bad things to her reputation, as people were going to realize that if she had gotten emotional enough to say what she did, she would not only risk her hand, but would have actually shown that she had a heart.
'This is so not what I planned on,' Nabiki thought to herself and debated the value of laying her head down onto her desk at the same time that the instructor was teaching, while:
