“That’s about all of it,” Ranma said, looking at his pack. “Over a year here, and I STILL only have what I came here with, except for a few things that I sealed away.”
“Good,” a voice behind Ranma said, right before Ranma was trussed up in chains.
Damn, shouldn’t have gotten distracted by thinking about being out of this place, but why didn’t I feel any hostile intent? Ranma thought.
“Let’s see got Ranma, his pack, and his new address,” the voice comments before storing Ranma’s pack up his sleeves, lowering him out the window via a chain so as not to make the amount of noise that pushing him out would make, and quickly following. He then slung Ranma over his shoulder, and ran off down the street toward Juuban.
Just as the duo crossed into Juuban another voice yelled out, “Ranma prepare to DIE!”
Mousse kept running while calling back, “Sorry, but I promised to make sure Ranma reaches his new home in one piece, and stays that way till his new mom gets there. Oh, and by the way Akane is no longer engaged to Ranma.”
Ryoga froze for a few seconds, during that time Mousse Turned a corner ensuring that Ryoga would get lost if he tried to follow.
While running Mousse thought about why he was doing this…
Mousse backed off from the melee that Setsuna’s announcement caused, and thought Why am I fighting? Yes, she insulted our laws, but on the other hand she is taking Ranma away from my Shampoo. He then noticed that Setsuna had also escaped the melee. A plan began to form, If Ranma leaves before they go up for him, the chances are good that he might get away from the old ghoul.
Mousse snuck over to where the greed haired lady was standing, and asked, “Do you want me to help Ranma get away From them?”
“Why do you want to help him? Normally you’re trying to kill him,” she replied with a glare.
“Simple, I can’t seem to beat him, but if I can get him away from my Shampoo that would be enough. I even promise to get him there in one piece and to stick around until you get there,” the nearly blind boy said.
Setsuna smiled and gave him a nod while slipping him a key to her house. “Give this to Ranma, it’s his key.”
Mouse made his way around the fight, and snuck up the stairs…
“Here we are Ranma, your new home.” Mousse said as he used the key Setsuna gave him to open the door. Then he tied the key onto the sting holding his pigtail together. As he walked into the house he ran into Hotaru knocking both of them down.
Hotaru looked at the chest of the man who ran her over with irritation. “Get off,” she said in a voice that approached absolute zero.
He quickly got off of her, turned around to help her up, and froze. His eyes met her Glowing purple ones that radiated anger at him. He found himself unable to move, not because of any powers Hotaru had but because of the anger he felt directed at him. Her eyes then shifted to Ranma’s cocooned form. Recognizing the hair which was the only part of him visible, she shifted her eyes back to Mousse, who by this time had a chance to take in her full appearance.
He shouted, “MONSTER!” and threw a bunch of weapons at her.
Unable to react in time to the surprise attack most of the weapons hit, shattering her into tens of thousands of pieces, none bigger than a toothpick. He sighed in relief as he saw this. The relief fled with its tail between its legs as the pieces reformed into the skeletons frame, and the for lack of a better word, flesh reformed. “That wasn’t necessary you know, and why did you tie Ranma-sama up?” She said her voice, impossibly, getting colder.
In after witnessing the attack on Hotaru, the two other girls came. Ami’s and Makoto’s eyes went hard as she saw Ranma’s state. Makoto cracked her knuckles and approached Mousse. Ami, on the other hand went to Ranma to untie him.
Mousse got nervous as the pissed off lizardgirl approached him, and said, “Can’t we talk about this? I didn’t hurt him…”
“No,” Makoto said angrily.
The view pans out to about a mile above Setsuna’s house, with birds passing by peacefully. That is until, a scream of agony pierces the air scattering the flying birds, sending birds out of trees, and making babies cry in a mile radius.
As we zoom back in we see Makoto throwing Mousse, who is in the shape of a pretzel and tied up in his own chains to maintain that shape, out the door.
Ranma looked a bit green at what he had just witnessed. He tried to scoot away nervously as Makoto approached him. It didn’t work too well as Ami had him in a hug Makoto stopped in front of him and held out her hand.
“Need a hand up?” she asked.
Ranma was about to take it when he paused. “Ami can you let me go, so I can get up?” he asked.
Ami nodded, and said, “Of course Ma- Ranma.” She released him from the hug reluctantly.
Ranma then accepted Makoto’s hand, and marveled at her strength as she hauled him up… only for him to get knocked down by Hotaru crying tears of ectoplasm, and babbling about getting blown up.
“Sigh, and I thought thing were crazy at the Tendo’s,” Ranma griped.
