Time's Lament: Exit, stage thataway! (LIME) [Episode 250103]

by Josh the Aspie

Akane stomped into the room, rolling up her sleeve, obviously intent on pummeling her fiance. Ranma cringed back, putting his arms into a position of simultaneous supplication and defense over his head. "Ranma! What did you do that woman?!?" Akane growled out.

"He had sex with her, which she appeared to thoroughly enjoy at the time." Came Nabiki's voice through the door way, as she came into view, and leaned against the wall. This pronouncement was accompanied by a shudder and a tiny sob from the corner.

Akane blinked over to the woman, her eyes going wide, then looked to Nabiki, who simply nodded to confirm that yes, she did mean what she said. Akane next turned to Ranma, her eyes already narrowing in anger, as her form clenched, and quivered in anger. Then, she asked Ranma one final question. "Ranma? How... how could you?" Her voice lost it's strength half way through the question, as tears began to stream down her face.

Akane turned, and raced out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Ranma blinked, started into motion by the sound of the slamming door. He raced to the door of his bedroom, even as he heard the sound of Akane's feet beating down the hall. He opened the door... to find a hand held at eye level in the near-universal sign to stop in his tracks. He did, confused, and a second later he heard the slam of a western door down the hall.

He looked from Nabiki's hand to her face, and she shook her head. "She needs time to cool off." Nabiki said And you need to explain what's going on to me. If you can't explain it to me, you won't be able to explain it to her."

Ranma winced at that. "But Akane thinks that... that..." He looked down at his nude state, then blushed hotly, and looked around, before grabbing a blanket to cover his nudity with, one that had been kicked off of the Futon.

Nabiki raised a single eyebrow, and her smirk deepened, before she replied "A little late to get bashful now Saotome-kun. And yes, she thinks you had Sex."

"GAH!" Was Ranma's immediate reply. "Don't say that!"

Nabiki's other eyebrow followed it's sister. "And why not? That's what happened, and we're all going to have to deal with that fact. Though I've got to say, I didn't expect this to happen."

Ranma hung his head, defeated. "How can you be so calm about this?" Ranma asked, quietly. "Don't you know what this means?"

Nabiki shrugged slightly. "Practice. Between Akane, Daddy, and Kasumi, someone around here has to keep a level head and deal with things as they come up. That's kind of my job in the family, although I guess you never noticed that. I'm a little disappointed." She replied. Whether she was disappointed or not, Ranma had no idea. She was "The Ice Queen of Furinkan" at the moment.

Ranma was about to reply to Nabiki, when he remembered the other woman in the room. He and looked over to where Setsuna had been, only to find her missing. "Hey Nabiki?" He asked, looking around for Setsuna, but not coming up with anything. "Did you see where that woman went?"

Nabiki's face turned skeptical. "What do you mean where she went?" She asked, looking around inside the room now as well. "Huh. She is gone. You sure she wasn't gone when you woke up?"

"Totally sure. Akane looked right at her. That's part of why she was so mad!" He said, obviously puzzled.

It was at this point that Genma rolled off the futon, growling loudly, and commenced the traditional morning attacks on his son who... was still nude, and half wrapped in a sheet, and as such was not quite as agile at defending himself as he usually was. Fortunately Genma wasn't in top form either.

"I thought I told you to let your poor father get some sleep!" Said the first sign, which slashed at Ranma's legs. Ranma leapt over the sign, which grabbed the sheet and tore it from Ranma's body, setting Ranma off-balance. Ranma stumbled into a crouch, and stood from there.

The sign was flung to the side along with the sheet, as another sign popped up, asking "Why are you naked, boy?" Ranma flushed, and quickly covered himself with his hands, looking around for his clothes, only to be bonked on the head by the Panda' sign that now read "Never drop your guard!"

The panda growled, grabbed his son, and hurled him through the window, resulting in the traditional morning splash-down in the Koi pond. Well, the yard Pond. The Koi had all been killed off long ago, and Nabiki had given up re-stocking it less than a month later.

Nabiki shook her head slowly. "Great, another martial artist Fiance, what's this one, a Ninja?"

Beside the window that Ranma and Genma had just crashed through a short, squat ninja with a purple hood winced, still quivering from the close encounter and began the process of sneaking away.

Nabiki sighed, shaking her head, then blinked as she spotted something. She headed over to a corner of the room, to pick up a pair of tweed slacks that were cut to go with a woman's business suit, obviously too long for even her own legs. "Apparently she left without her pants." Nabiki muttered softly to herself with a concerned frown before shaking her head. "I'd better look for her, before someone else in the house finds her naked."

Her frown then slowly turned into a smirk. "After all, this smells like profit." She paused, and sniffed the air, then sighed, and face palmed, thinking to herself. "Great Nabiki, talk about smelling profit in a room that smells of sex. Make yourself sound like a common harlot why don't you?"
