But then he wasn't paying much mind on that, as he was currently doing much staring. There was a pretty girl next to him, which would have caught many a boy's eye. However, her skin was a pale white that made her red eyes even more startling to see. With her light blue hair, she looked quite delicate, but then she wasn't showing any sign of wavering. Rather, she stood calm and tall with him, and didn't act as if she was going to move in any direction.
However, his eyes were not on her, but on the sight of a penguin that was not only managing to hold onto a can of beer, but was also sipping at it without spilling any out of his beak.
"Something about this isn't right," he mumbled. Glancing over his shoulder at the girl with him, he looked a little loss. "You understand, right?"
Without speaking, she merely met his eyes in a relaxed state.
"You're right. It's getting to be really weird out there."
She raised her brows at him.
"Not you, Rei. You're not like that...."
If either of his statements had bothered her, she didn't show it.
"You're not mad... are you?"
"Why would I be angry?" Rei asked him.
"It's just that I... well, I...."
"You seem to be bothered."
Shinji opened his mouth as he went to respond, but then thought against it as he let out a sigh, as he didn't understand why she hung around him as she did, even if she was supposed to be a 'familiar' with him.
Many eyes followed Ranma as he walked along, with those gazes watching the graceful movements that he made. For a boy of his age, he had posture that people years older than him could not manage. There was power hidden deep within that body, and just by seeing him, one could tell that it was waiting to be let loose.
As he headed down the path, he was given plenty of room to move. Others stepped out of the way, and several kids his age scattered out of his way before he came near them. It was clear that there was worry about him, as several of those around him gave a wary look as he went by.
Yet, there wasn't a total fear of him running through those around him.
"I can't believe that he's so cute," one of the village girls gasped.
Another girl blushed slightly. "But he's so hard to get close to."
"That's simple," a third chirped. "That just makes him into a 'bad boy'...."
Her words brought a squeal to many of the girls that lined the path that he was going along.
"Ranma!" yelled one girl who was not gushing over how he looked.
Blinking slightly, he turned to look... before ducking his head at the sight of what was coming his way.
"You bad boy," Shampoo growled as she charged right at him. "You're late for practice. If you're going to be with me, you have to keep from giving me trouble."
For those watching, they got to see the familiar sight of the budding beauty dragging the foreigner boy away by one like he was some sort of whipped puppy.
As he watched, Mousse ground his teeth together and scowled as the girl he liked so much was relegated to being a beast tamer for that outsider interloper, while:
