Michiru and Ranma, after changing back into his male form, had managed to make it back into Ranma’s room without anyone seeing them. Both of them started to put their clothes back on which thankfully hadn’t been damaged in their lust filled frenzy the previous night. Pausing for a moment to look at Michiru as she buttoned up her blouse, Ranma rather calmly said, “What are we going to do today Michiru and what are our long term plans going to be?”
Michiru paused in the middle of buttoning a button when she heard Ranma’s inquiry. His honest question brought to her mind all the things that the newly married couple would have to do. Where most couples would have months to a year to plan out what was going to happen after a wedding, Michiru and Ranma had hours maybe days. For a split second Michiru almost felt overwhelmed by all the things that the two of them would need to take care of. One of the most prominent of these things was the loose ends in both of their other relationships.
After a moment of thought Michiru continued to button her shirt up and then proceeded to sit on the floor so she could put her pants on. While Michiru was doing this she said, “I honestly can’t think very clearly today with all that’s going on Ranma. We’ll need to sit down somewhere and figure out a lot of things like where we’re going to live and how we’re going to deal with the people we know.”
This made perfect sense to Ranma who was fairly certain that he would be persona non grata in the Tendo household for a while. While there was a small chance that the Tendo family would understand the misadventure that led up to his marriage, Ranma instinctively knew that the Tendos would not want him living in their house with his wife. Ranma also remembered that Michiru had said that she had been living with her lover.
Wanting to remove at least some of the stress that must be getting to Michiru, Ranma walked over and placed his hands on her shoulders. Ranma then started to massage his wife’s shoulders while he said, “I know of a place where we can stay at least a few days. My mother lives in Juuban and I’m fairly sure that she would be happy to let us stay there till we get organized. We should probably go out to eat and then check to make sure that it’s alright with mom for us to stay there. Once that has been taken care of that I think we should just spend the day getting to know each other a little better.”
As Michiru listened to Ranma’s voice while enjoying his massage, she couldn’t help but smile a little. Ranma had managed to remove her most imminent worry that their impromptu marriage had caused her. Also, Ranma’s advice that they take the day to get to know each other better was a great idea in her mind. Talking about their pasts and themselves, as Ranma’s tone had shown that he hadn’t meant the other way of getting to know each other, would help both of them make their marriage work.
