Akane grumbled to her self as she walked down the hallway. One arm was held aloft, bent at elbow and wrist, with Hikaru perched on her up turned hand. Akane ignored the faerie lanterns, and instead used her personal fire faerie to light the way simply because she could.
She slid open the door, and set Hikaru down on a stone bench while she quickly stripped, then held out her hand to her faerie once more, and opened the door to entered the bathing room proper.
“Oh, my…” she whispered and struggled to avert her gaze. Hikaru nodded, and covered her fiery head in her little hands.
Ranma knelt on the floor, rinsing his naked form free of suds with a bucket of water. Rivulets streamed over his fine manly form and showered from his extremities, pooling around his feet; which is where Akane finished staring and blushed deep scarlet.
Hikaru matched Akane’s emotional tone, glowing brilliant crimson; which both revealed more glistening details and drew Ranma’s attention.
Akane stood in the doorway wearing only her birthday suit, a conveniently placed linen towel, and a blush that could light up the sun – if her small faerie didn’t do so first. Ranma blinked and stared then lifted his head to meet Akane’s eyes. Akane’s blush deepened, then she bit her lip and averted her gaze.
“Ami!” Ranma barked sharply. “Obscuring mist!”
The water faerie rose up, appearing as a full sized mobile ice sculpture lifting from the bath water like Venus rising from the waves; every detail was clearly defined, down to the last blue tinted strand of hair and jewels glinting on her icy tiara. She threw out her arms and then nothing was clear at all. The tub hissed as the room fogged up, hiding everything within.
Akane slowly backed out of the door, slid it closed, carefully pulled on her clothes, and struggled to erase the image of the boy kneeling nude while water glistened over his skin and trailed…
“Arrrrrrrggghhhh……!” Akane roared in frustration and exited the room with haste.
“Strange girl,” Ranma told Ami as they banished the mist. “Kind of cute though.”
The water faerie merely looked at him speculatively, then dissolved back into water.
“Oh, my! I was so embarrassed,” Akane explained. “I just didn’t know what to do.”
“I don’t understand,” Kasumi remarked. “Why didn’t you just burn him to a crisp?”
“Oh, hush, Kasumi,” Nabiki chided. “Why must you always overreact to every little thing?”
“Anyway, this is no time for tea and cookies!” Kasumi said, setting down a tray of tea and cookies. “No girl will be safe while that pervert is on the loose in this house.”
“But didn’t she walk in on him?” Nabiki asked slyly, nibbling on a nicely buttered arrowroot. “What must he be thinking? You know what they say about girls who accidently let a boy see them naked. ‘Accidentally’ on purpose, that is.”
“Akane, you didn’t!?” Kasumi exclaimed turning on her littlest sister. “I’m shocked at you! Shocked! … Well, not that shocked, I suppose.”
“She always does protest a bit too much when the boys show interest,” Nabiki agreed. “If you know what I mean?”
“What…?” Akane gasped. “But the boys are only interested in ka… What are you implying?”
“I thought that was obvious, Akane,” Nabiki responded archly.
