Not that he'd needed it, though, given the fact that the actions involved here weren't exactly that of genius level intellects. Had they been trained in covert operations, or ninja skills, it would have been harder to discover them. However, what he was dealing with was rather obvious to one who knew how to look, and even a 'regular' person could have spotted something amiss.
The first problem came in the form of that Tendo man. Yet again he was returning, obviously looking for a 'subtle' way in so that he could take Ranma by surprise. Unfortunately, he wasn't exactly hiding that fact, as a middle aged man making a circuit around a temple's grounds wasn't exactly something that one could miss.
But he wasn't the more immediate problem. That was something that he had discovered as a new scent had come on the wind when he was passing a particular corner. He'd gotten all the information that he'd needed on that breeze, and when he'd slipped around to see what it was, it only confirmed what he already knew.
Akane the Amazon had been creeping around, trying to get various pieces of odds and ends to make a step ladder to get to a window. Since that window brought light into the furo, it was clear that she wasn't there to see how the house was decorated. It was obvious that she was up to something, and she was all poised to slide in through the window to get something.
Not that it was hard to figure out what that was. She was a Chinese Amazon now, and that meant that she had certain rules to work under. Some of what was going on was possibly due to an actual attraction towards the pigtailed boy, but it was also possible that she was just rather strict about such rules.
Of course, it seemed that Shampoo didn't agree with what the Japanese-schoolgirl-turned-Chinese-Amazon was planning, at least from what Inari could see. Right then, she was creeping along, with all four of her feet not making much noise. As a result, the teenaged human girl was unaware that she was being stalked, and that was not going to mean well for her precarious position.
Almost amused by the whole sight, Inari stepped back, and watched as they went on, unaware of the fact that they were being observed right then. All that they had to do was to get everything ready, and they would be getting their situations turned into a debacle right quick. It was going to happen, and given the situation, it was going to be interesting to see how it would be resolved.
Besides, it was going to be great entertainment for him.
Sitting where he could still see and record, he settled down to be amused as he sat on the corner of a nearby roof as he let things go on naturally, while:
