[Episode 33387] [Episode 33387]"Sorry, old friend! Better you than me!"
Besides, Soun had tripped him when he tried to knock Tendo down. The panda landed flat on his face. Then Nodoka had tripped on his fallen form. The two tumbled as their forward momentum kept them rolling around on the grass. Now, lying in the shadow of the Tendo dojo, the two looked each other in the face. Genma astride of Nodoka, her arms pinned by his hands. The sword was still in her hand.
"Unhand me, Husband!" Nodoka squirmed and struggled against his bulky body. She wasn't going anywhere. Now was his chance to tell what for!
"Growfr! Growl! Gworf! Grorwl!"
Damn! Genma had forgotten he was a panda at the moment. Very well then.
"[ NO! YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME- ]"
Unfortunately, to speak his mind, he had to use his paws to write on the signs and to raise them. This freed Nodoka's own hands. The sword went swish. The slashed sign went thud. Genma's face went pale. Nodoka's face went flush.
The two renewed their tumble on the ground. Genma tried to subdue Nodoka. Nodoka tried to disembowel or behead Genma. Their scuffle sent them rolling all around in the ground, tumbling this direction and that.
Finally, as the dust raised up by the two cleared, Nodoka was the one astride of Genma this time. The woman looked quite disheveled. Her kimono was loosened. Her hair was unbound. Her breathing was fast and shallow. The panda looked no better. Its fur was matted with sweat and dirt. Its chest raised up and down with its quick gulps of air.
The woman looked the panda in the eyes. The panda looked back. Then the woman lunged for the panda's neck. The panda flinched.
"Oh, I shouldn't have doubted you, Dearest! You're still quite manly after all!"
Nodoka's arms were wrapped around Genma's neck in an embrace. The panda's arms were raised up in the air, twitching. Genma was in shock.
"That's all I ever wanted, some attention. I am your wife after all."
Genma finally lowered his arms and embraced his wife. He was going to live!
"Now, this thing with Soun. You are going to break it up with him, aren't you, Dearest? You are going to spend more time with me, aren't you?"
Genma's arms were once again raised into the air. This time, in response to his need for air. Nodoka's arms were choking him!
"Then again, the thought of the two of you... and me... Well, you had best share, Husband. Since you seem unable to spend less time with Soun, I shall have to join in on the times you two spend together. Yes, I think I shall."
Down went the panda's arms, smack into the ground. Genma seemed to have fainted.
"Let's get inside quickly, Dearest. I want some hot water before we continue our discussions."
The strangely content Nodoka rose up off the unconscious Genma. The woman, a grin on her face, then walked towards the house. She entered the door that led into the kitchen, dropping off the panda's bulk beside the doorway. One glass of hot water from the sink later, she dragged off her husband down the walkway that led into the dojo. She had last seen Soun there, entering the building to hide.
It was time she had a 'talk' with them. Both. At the same time. It had been so long since she had a 'talk' with anybody! She deserved it! 'Talking' to yourself was just not the same as having a face-to-face 'talk' with someone. Her husband 'talked' with Soun all the time, leaving her out of it; she wanted someone to 'talk' to her, too!
