Saotome Ranma sighed deeply in frustration and aggravation as he counted the cracks in the ceiling above his futon. It was just one of those days, just like every other one.
First, his pop has woken him up with another bucket of water then forced him to 'spar', again.
While he'd never say no to a good fight, all things considered, he'd have rather slept. The Old man was getting predictable and the fights were no longer fun.
After that Akane hit him for being a 'pervert', again.
What the hell was so perverted about saying that wet shirts in girl form were a pain?
Then she hit him for 'picking' on that perverted asshole, Ryouga, again.
Then he had to fight the old man for his food while nursing a headache, again.
And to make matters worse, Happousai dumped a bucket on him and tried to feel him up while eating, again.
Then he got splashed on the way to school, again.
Then Nabiki sold him hot water for 500 yen, again.
Then that idiot Kuno caused him to be late, again
So he was stuck holding buckets, again.
And Kuno attacked him in the Hall, again.
And he got drenched, again.
So Kuno felt him up, again.
So he had to beat the pervert off, again.
And Nabiki sold him hot water, again.
And then Ukyo make him lunch, again.
But Akane decked him for being a pervert, again.
What was so perverted about taking food from a friend, anyways?
Of course then Shampoo showed up with Ramin, again.
And she got into a fight with Ukyo which ruined both the Okonomiyaki and the Ramin so he had nothing to eat, again...
Ect. Ect. Ect.
Same shit every day. Really, it had been too long since he had a good fight. Moose was comically predictable and good old P-chan hadn't come up with any new techniques for him to steal lately. He almost wished someone would kidnap Akane again so he'd have a good reason to let loose!
Ranma snarled and sat up. Damn this was getting old. He needed to find something to do. Unfortunately, that was the problem. Nothing was on TV, there were no real challenges in the area, no new techniques to learn, nothing.
He was annoyed, frustrated, a little bit depressed, and board completely out of his mind!
He really needed something to do! Pausing for a moment, he remembered his mother saying to 'Ranko', that she hoped that Ranma was well read. That books somehow made you manly. He thought that was ridiculous, after all, his old man had always told him book worms were nothing but a bunch of weak pussies, but he was getting desperate. He wasn't going to ask Akane, he doubted that Kasumi would have anything interesting, so he guessed that had to ask her. Oh well, maybe Nabiki might let him read a manga or something.
-------
Nabiki Tendo sneered with vindictive contempt as she crept up on her foe. The poor fool had no idea what was going on. Yes! Stand still, don't look behind you! Just another meter, you Very Important Fool! YES!
She laughed darkly at the spray of blood and dull thud, followed by the announcement of her small victory!
"Terrorists Win!"
"Hey, Nabiki!"
The girl snarled as her idiot jock brother-in-law-to-be stuck his head into her room.
"Don't you know how to knock!" she demanded.
"Yes, but you didn't answer."
"I'm busy, go away!" she roared. She needed to get rid of this idiot. Damn, the next round had already started, and she had to catch up.
"I need to ask you something..."
"WHAT?!" she roared and she came under fire. This idiot was taking her off her game.
"Can I borrow a book?"
"YES! Now GET OUT!" she screamed as a burst took her down to half life.
Ranma nodded.
Nabiki never noticed when he walked in her room. She never noticed when he looked over her book shelf. She never noticed when he spotted the book she kept hidden under her bed that was poking out just an inch. She never noticed when he picked it up. And she never noticed when he left with it.
Unknown to her, he'd found her copy of...
