Knowing how the other girl tended to react to Lord Ranma made it even more distasteful to deal with her.
Fortunately, she wasn't going to have to deal with that particular girl.
The problem was that the girl standing there was someone that she would still rather not have to face. Calling Hitomi a 'troublemaker' wouldn't work, since the German girl was well behaved and dedicated, but that was all that she had for a description. She just had to get involved where she wasn't invited, and interfere with some of what the kunoichi had to do. Considering the fact that the half-Japanese girl was a skilled fighter, that made life a whole lot more difficult.
Letting the corner of one eye twitch, the pale kunoichi set cold eyes on the karate expert. "What are you doing here?"
"I came because I heard that Lord Ranma and Hayate were here...." Kasumi started.
"Not you! I can figure on why you would show up! I was talking about her."
"Oh."
"Now that we have that settled," Ayane sighed, wishing that her lord's kind nature hadn't let him treat her half sister like a real girl with real feelings, rather than some precious little doll like most. "What about you? Come looking for a fight?"
"Hardly. I'm not trying to create some sort of battle straight off," Hitomi retorted, shooting Ayane with her own steady gaze.
"Then why come? I thought that you were perfectly happy back off in the woods of Europe."
"I like my father's dojo a lot, but that doesn't mean that I'm always going to stay there. You can't get anywhere if you hide yourself away."
Snorting, Ayane sneered at the half-German teen. "Which brought you here?"
"Of course. I've met a lot of fighters, and got in some good challenges, but that's not why I'm here. When Ranma and Ein were training at the dojo with me, I was really happy, and they helped us out a lot."
"And that means...."
"Hopefully, that can be made permanent. From what Ranma and his father have said, we can stay together for years to come."
"Oh, I don't think you mean what I think you just said," Ayane growled, flicking a hand so that there was a kunai held between each of her fingers.
Hitomi squeezed her fists so hard that one could hear the fabric of her gloves tighten. "Maybe I did mean it."
Looking between both girls, Kasumi drew her own blade, and got into a ready stance.
Hayate put a hand to his forehead and groaned.
Glancing over at his friend, Ryu raised a brow at the unmasked ninja. "They're your sisters. And your friend."
The responding sigh was an eloquent enough answer for the both of them.
About all that Ranma could do was look around himself and wonder about what exactly he could do, while:
