Outside, above the koi pond, the day started in a different manner,
with the sounds of combat between father and son.
SPLASH
Make that Panda and son.
SPLASH
Make that Panda and daughter.
The two combatants, Saotome Ranma and Genma were locked in a not so
deadly exchange of words, arms, feet, and koi-splash-downs. To the
outside observer, it would appear as a vicious bout between deadly
opponants (well, until the panda and red head started swearing), but
each participant felt a flow of gracefulness not unlike a ballarena.
All too soon, however, the fight was over, and the Saotomes each
poured the hot water, left by Kasumi on the stove, over their heads.
Ranma stretched his arms above his head, interlocking his fingers of one hand with those of his other. Only nodding his head, as his father reminded him to wash up before school. Ignoring the shriveled up old martial artist bouncing out of the kitchen, he made his way up the stairs. "Stupid old pervert is starting early this morning," he grumbled to himself, turning the corner to the bathroom.
Downstairs, Genma picked up the ringing phone, ignoring the calls of the old master screaming, "What a haul! WHAT A HAUL!," to find his wife on the other end.
"Uh, ah, erm... No-chan.... Yes dear, I'm thrilled too... Uhm, you want to arrange something for Akane and Ranma? What do you mean interfere? It's the old master's fault! Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket! He made us... Yes ma'am, we'll stay out of your way... Ignore every thing..." Gulp. "Yes dear."
There are some constants in life, one of which is that Ranma walks in on someone, gets walked in on, or falls into a bath with other people. Some may argue that it's part of the Jusenkyo curse, others that it is a result of Murphey's Law, but whatever it is, it's a constant. Thus, Ranma entered the dressing area of the washroom, disrobed, and proceeded into the washing area.
After soaking for a while in the furo, Kasumi felt relaxed, ready to enjoy another beutiful summer day full of happiness and joy. She rose from the furo, and proceeded to the dressing area.
KATHUMP!
As Ranma pulled the sliding door to the side, Ranma's sixth sense alarmed, and he jerked his hand away from the door. The young woman who had created this sense of unease then, of coarse, lost her balance. Soon, the two came crashing to the floor with a resounding thud, both naked as the day they were born. Ranma's whole body became rigid with an unshakable fear, "I'm dead in so many ways!"
Kasumi, after falling on Ranma, with her face millimeters from Ranma's, and most of her one thousand parts were touching his one thousand parts, politely got up, and excused herself. Next, Kasumi's hands automatically grabbed a housecoat, and she blushed all the way to her room to change in peace.
Unfortunately for her, peace was not so easy to come by. "Oh my," she muttered in a whisper, "I, no we, have done all but consumate." Her eyebrows narrowed, "I have disgraced myself. I have disgraced Ranma. Oh dear," she finished, as her mind tried to work out the complexities of what just happened in the furo with Ranma.
Ranma, on the other hand, was much more concerned on the hear and now; namely, his own hide. "Oh geez. What a stupid accident. Where was that occupied sign? Akane is going to kill me for sure. Geez. What does a guy have to do to catch a break around here?"
