She glanced around every so often, but it was just the usual crowds and no one was paying much attention to her. Even when Yuka and Sayuri mentioned something about a contest down at a pizzeria, it didn't register.
"Oh ho ho hoh ho ho ho hoh!"
Akane made a face as she remembered something, or rather someone, was going to be an added annoyance.
"YOU THERE! AKANE TENDO!" echoed through the halls, yard, practice fields of Furinkan.
After pulling his fingers out of his ears, Ranma pointed out the obvious. "Uhm, she's right here. Ya don't need a bullhorn."
"SHE SEEMED HARD OF HEARING LAST NIGHT WHEN WE SPOKE PRIVATELY," responded Kodachi.
After the echoes had faded just a bit, Ranma kicked up a rock with one foot and then circle-kicked it into the bullhorn's speaker.
Dropping the now useless prop, Kodachi cleared her throat before continuing. "I have discovered that you, Akane Tendo, are guilty of - PROJECTION!"
"No, she doesn't have psychic powers," put in Sayuri.
"Or do you, Akane?" asked Yuka.
Kodachi frowned, pulled a book out of somewhere, and read from it. "'Projection is a psychological defense mechanism where one individual, that's Akane, attributes her own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or emotions or drives onto other individuals or places or things.'"
"Huh?" asked Ranma.
"So you're saying that Akane sees a problem with others that's in herself?" asked Yuka.
"What kind of problem?" asked Sayuri.
Kodachi smiled. "What does she rail against the most? What aspect of the world does she find most objectionable?"
"PERVERTS," said half the males of the school.
"What?!" predictably exclaimed Akane. "Just because everyone around here's a pervert?!"
"Everyone?" asked Yuka.
"Oh come on, it's Kodachi!" pointed out Akane. "If a Kuno is right about something, it would be a sign of the Apocalypse, right?"
"She's got a point," agreed Yuka.
"Then prepare yourself for the end is near!" said Kodachi as she reached down and brandished something.
"My UNDERWEAR DRAWER?!" exclaimed Akane.
Ranma managed to take three steps away from Akane, possibly prompted by the sudden blue aura.
"BEHOLD!" crowed Kodachi, rummaging through the contents of the drawer. "What is THIS?!"
"EEP!" declared Akane, her rage vanishing before the deluge of sheer embarassment.
"What's that supposed to be anyway?" asked Ranma.
"Good grief, Akane, a 'Hello Kitty' version?" asked Sayuri.
"Well, I..." said Akane.
"OR THIS!" declared Kodachi, fishing something else out.
"Oh, now that one's too big Akane," said Sayuri. "Guys don't come that big."
"Ranma's is... EEEP!" exclaimed Akane, covering her mouth with both hands at that.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh?!" asked Yuka and Sayuri, looking from Ranma to Akane and back.
"My what is what?" asked Ranma, a little bit put out that the predicted fight wasn't happening. Not that he wanted to get hit, but it was at least predictable.
