FRF: Meanwhile, back with the other cast members [Episode 3250]

by Kestral

Things were quiet, a state of affairs completely alien to him. Oh! A two for one sale on desserts?!

Soon, Ranma was happily slurping a third banana split and hoping that none of rivals/fiancees/problems would show up for a little while yet.

Motoko Aoyama bared her own sword. Another pervert like Urashima had shown up at the Hinata House, and this one had the nerve to challenge her with a sword. Well enough. At least this one was more a man than Keitaro Urashima, though that was hardly much of a recommendation.

"Awake at last I see," said a voice from the darkness. "Looks like you were hit with a stunstick. Trying to escape from your owner?"

"'stunstick'?" Ryouga tried to remember. He'd fallen through that tunnel and made his way back to the Tendo Dojo, but the streets had looked so different. Everything was clean, almost antiseptic, and he'd hardly recognized the Dojo itself. It was very well maintained and looked more like a palace than anything else. Then -

Then Akane had walked up to him and hit him with some sort of nightstick except it had been a taser. As he'd gone down she'd jabbed him once more, in the nuts, just to be sure.

"What happened to her?" Ryouga was lost. Had she found out he was P-chan?

"Who?" The indistinct form moved closer.

"Akane, she seemed so cruel," Ryouga couldn't explain any of this.

There was a gasp. "Don't use her name, you fool! If she hears you speaking with such disrespect we'll get rendered!"

Ryouga backed away slightly as the form moved into the faint light that came through the bars. "What? What are you?"

"Never seen a mouseboy?" The mouse anthropomorph moved slowly closer. "I was gelded for less than that."

Involuntarily, Ryouga's eyes dipped down the naked mouseboy and noticed the scars. "Eeep!"

"She doesn't like boys to begin with, idiot, don't give her more reason to get upset," said the mouseboy. "Good thing I'm Nabiki's property or I wouldn't have gotten off 'lightly'. If you're Akane's property, my sympathies. Name's Tameo by the way. My specialty is in sewing and cleaning."

"What happened to your leg?" Ryouga pointed out that the monster facing him had a thigh that terminated about halfway."

"I didn't get out of Mistress Akane's way fast enough," admitted Tameo. "So I became the evening's entertainment."

"No, I can't believe dear sweet Akane could change so much," Ryouga said.

"You hurt your head didn't you?"

"I'll say," agreed Happosai. "There's no pretty girls!"

Nabiki twitched.

Kasumi nodded and translated this for the non-clerics.

"So then, I guess," began Akane.

• "we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz."
  By the time Akane's finished the third line, everyone's ready to tie her up and leave her for the slavers.
• "This is all your fault, Akane Tendo," interrupts Kodachi. "I challenge you!"
• "we're off to see the wizard," said Akane.
  "Shadowdale, the very name sounds intriguing," said the Black Rose. "Though if any one of these noble elves of the intriguing coloration should have something I could borrow that's warmer than a leotard, the Black Rose would appreciate it.
• "EEEK!" Akane shrieked (a very unwise move) as she pointed at something moving around.
• "Shampoo wants to know who elected Akane as decision maker."
• something else
