Ranma straightened up and looked at his aunt. “You’re right, I was just about to give up and give in, like I usually do, but I came here to get away from all the chaos and violent psycho chicks and I’ll be damned if I quit that easily. I’ll keep looking till I find someplace where they ain’t allowed. Kasumi exists, so I know there has to be other nice girls out there who won’t walk in on you in the bath and start feeling you up and then try and claim you’re the pervert. I swear they get off on beating guys, which would explain the peeping on guys and feeling them up first.”
Ranma pushed passed the confused girls, several of whom were eyeing a paling Ami.
Ranma came back out of the inn with his bag. “There has to be someplace. I mean, I don’t recall being walked in on in the bath at any of the Shaolin temples I stayed at. Course they didn’t allow women in, which means I can’t go back there now, damn it.”
Haruka quickly blocked her nephew’s path. “How can you walk out on them like this?”
Ranma snorted. “Walk, hell, if I could figure out how, I would fly!” Hopping over his aunt’s head he continued towards the steps, only to be blocked by the Senshi’s heavy artillery.
Hotaru looked up at him with her puppy dog eyes at full blast and he faltered.
“What will we do if you leave,” she asked, hitting him at point blank range, her cuteness eroding his will, like an ice cube on a hot grill.
Ranma steeled himself, remembering the other girls’ behavior and Miss Hinako pulling the same cuteness trick on him, not to mention Hotaru’s earlier comment. “This ain’t the only dorm in the city and it’s not like there’s a bunch of bulldozers just waiting for me to leave so they can tear this place down. I figure you’ve got at least a week and probably a lot more, to find a new place to live. I however am basically homeless, until I find a place, so don’t expect any pity from me. It ain’t like you’re being driven away from your ancestral property by a bunch of perverted nut jobs, this is just a place to stay for you, so see ya!”
The girls stared as Ranma vanished. One second he was there and the next second he was gone, like he’d teleported.
“I got a bad feeling about this,” Usagi muttered.
Minako nodded. “By the prickling of my jugs, something wacky this way comes.”
Ami was tired, embarrassed, and feeling a bit guilty, so she didn’t bother trying to correct Minako.
“Has my grandson arrived yet?”
“Ack!” Startled, Usagi spun around and tripped over her own feet.
Haruka stared at the newly arrived Senshi of Pluto. “Grandson?”
“Yes, my grandson. I arranged for him to be manager here, because he needs a break before he has a nervous breakdown.”

Ranma dropped the thieves’ cloak techniques as soon as he’d gotten about a block away. ‘OK, that didn’t go as planned, but then I never really expected it to. Nothing ever goes that smoothly for me.’
Dropping some yen for a paper, Ranma sat in the park, sipping some tea that Kasumi had made for him, while looking for job openings and rooms for rent. ‘Hmmm. Job openings in the Guild of Calamitous Intent. What the heck is that? Heroes Union? When did they start organizing that sort of thing? A job would make getting a room easier, but I could get a room first.’
