At which point the rain began to come down.
Some people have said Ranma was dumb or at least slow. While there might have been some truth to that, particularly when the subject didn't relate to martial arts, he was currently in his element - a martial arts fight. He therefore noticed immediately that he was:
(A) getting wet.
(B) not of the female persuasion.
(C) facing a VERY shocked looking female yoma with what Happosai might have described as 'ya-yas' the size of gallon kettles.
(D) otherwise feeling perfectly fine.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" responded Ranma to this turn of events. "You stole my CURSE?!"
"Wha?" asked the VERY busty yoma, squeekee squeekee hefting her humongous mammaries and then staring at hands, then at various other body parts as the horrible situation became clear. "What? How? Why?"
"Hee hee hee," responded Ranma. "Gwahahahahaha!"
"B-b-but how could I be... that is..." the yoma girl looked almost ready to cry as she found, or didn't find, something under her loincloth.
"Ahahahahaha!" continued to chortle Ranma.
"SHUT UP!" WHAM! The yoma-girl snarled and lashed out at Ranma. The punch was followed by three more and a series of kicks, none of which managed to get the target.
"Eeehheeee heee heee," managed Ranma when it became obvious that the yoma was getting more and more frustrated.
The rain stopped. Ranma continued to quiver with laughter that escaped in brief bursts. The yoma panted from exertion.
"I see," said Kaede from where she was standing in the threshold of a doorway. "You've never tried to steal power from a human have you?"
"I've never run into a human with power worth stealing," snarled back the yoma.
"Hee hee," came from somewhere in the vicinity of Ranma.
"You mentioned a curse," prompted Kaede.
"Yeah, cold water turns the curse on, hot water to reverse," began Ranma.
"Hot water? Where?" said the yoma, rushing towards a hut.
"Hee hee," managed Ranma, tripping the girl-yoma up who didn't seem to know how to balance her new form. Momentum caused her to go into the hut anyway.
There was some crashing inside the hut, sounding like the yoma-girl managed to find everything breakable in her rush for a cure.
Ranma's amusement died a little when one of the noises turned out to be water splashing.
The yoma leapt out again in its non-female form. "Let's see you try that again!"
Again they grappled, their hands meeting as feet dug into the ground to find purchase.
"N-no," said the monster after a few moments of strain. "No!"
"Oh yeah," said Ranma, grinning. "It's a chi technique."
"No, but it likely involves life force or something like that," said Kaede. "Excuse me."
THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK!
"I had him on the ropes," said Ranma as the yoma went slack.
"No, you had him, and he was about to get you," said Kaede.
"I don't think so," complained Ranma. "I knew about the tail."
"Did you know it was spiked and dripping with poison?" asked Kaede.
"Ewwww," remarked Ranma.
"That's what I thought," said Kaede. "Though there is one thing I'm wondering."
"Yeah," grumped Ranma. "What's that?"
"You going to stay out in the rain?" asked Kaede.
"It stopped raining," said Ranma just before the raindrop hit him on the nose. "Oh crap!" Which was when the rain commenced in earnest.
