Quiet filled the clearing after Ranma's statement. The circle of mages surrounding the three held their place hesitantly, occasionally glancing nervously at the old school principle looking for any sign of what they should be doing. Konoe himself had stilled, the disappointed look his face had fallen into at Ranma's action plain for everybody to see.
For the next several minuets nobody moved or said anything the tension of the situation all but stifling any chance to talk before Konoe finally spoke.
"Ranma..." The old man said softly, "think carefully about what you are doing."
The Headmaster's expression of disappointment was met with an angry brooding frown as Ranma himself carefully made his way to the the edge of the clearing. "You've left me with little options." The Martial Artest stated plainly as he worked his senses actively to make sure he wasn't ambushed.
"Let the girl go," Konoe said with a calm seriousness rarely seen by others as he slowly followed Ranma's progress. "Not only will you be unable to get away from us with her as dead weight, but I would hope you would not be so low as to resort to these sorts of tactics.
"I only resort to them because of you." Ranma stated callously. "After all this girl's here because of you isn't she?"
Konoe's almost undetectable flinch was all Ranma needed to see to know he had struck a nerve. By now they had reached the edge of the clearing with Ranma's back to the trees. Setsuna herself had been quiet as they made the slow progress. Beaten and barely hodling on to conscious she still managed to let out a startled yelp of pain as she was roughly dropped to the ground as Ranma turned and dashed into the trees.
"After him!" The old Headmaster barked as he made his way, quickly, over to Setsuna's position, a look of concern on his face.
At his words the rest of the mages took off into the trees racing after Ranma.
