Ranma walked back into the house after chatting a bit with Gar, thinking about all that happened to him in the last 48 hours. "Guess I should've expected this, given my life." Entering the kitchen he saw Julia sitting at the table having tea. "Hello Sensei."
Julia smiled at him, "Hello Ranma, how're you feeling?" Privately she was worried that he'd be angry at Brianna.
Shrugging his shoulders Ranma answered, "Pretty good, it's a kick in the pants to become a werecheetah, but I don't really mind."
Blinking her eyes in shock Julia asked, "You're not?"
Ranma shook his head, "Nope, heck I really don't mind at all. After all it could've been worse."
Shaking her head Julia chuckled a bit, "Most people would be angry to be forced to change their species. Still, Brianna shouldn't have done something like that."
"Hey, it's okay, no one even knew this was going to happen. By the way, what did you decide for Brianna's punishment?" Ranma knew that she'd be punished, those from Jade saw infection as a nasty practice, and Ranma spent enough time with the Diggers and occasional visits to Jade to know that as well.
"I extended her grounding, rather light compared to what I could do."
"How long did you ground her for?"
Julia shrugged her shoulders, "A month."
Ranma's eyes widened, "A month?!? C'mon sensei, I don't mind being a werecheetah, can't you cut her some slack this time?"
Julia shook her head, "Nope, she's got to learn not to do stuff like that."
"C'mon, give her a break, this kind of stuff only happens to me. Can't you reduce it, I mean, it was an accident and she didn't know this would happen."
Julia sighed, she could tell that Ranma really felt sorry for her daughter. "Allright, I'll only extend her grounding for a week since you asked so nicely. But I'm going to go a bit harder on you in training. Both because you're a lycanthrope and the fact that you helped get Brianna out of her punishment."
Ranma winced, the only thing really hard about her training, though he would never say it to her face, was trying to beat her in sparring sessions. She was insanly strong and pretty damn fast. He knew he was a long ways away from catching her in strength, but in close quarters he could tag her quite a bit, better than what Gar, Luan or Carla could anyways. "Um, where's Brianna right now?"
"In her room."
"Thanks sensei." With that Ranma rushed out of the room, leaving a back-lash that caused a few chairs to fall over.
********
Meanwhile in Brianna's room. . .
Gina and Britanny were standing in front of Bri, who was looking at the floor a bit sheepishly and a little depressed, and berating her for doing that to Ranma. Gina looked a bit cross, "Seriously Brianna, he's got enough problems without you turning him into a werecheetah."
"I didn't mean to."
Britanny sighed, "We know that, but how do you think he feels?"
"Not that angry to tell you the truth."
All three nearly jumped out of their skin, turning to the door, they saw Ranma with his, almost, ever-present smirk on the lips. After glaring at the pig-tailed werecheetah for startling her, Britanny asked, "Why not, you just changed species?"
Ranma just shrugged, "I really don't mind that much, but you two shouldn't berate Brianna that much it was an accident, that's all."
Brianna looked at Ranma, smiling a bit. "You mean that?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I?"
Looking at him, Brianna had a relieved look on her face, "Gee, thanks Ranma, I'd think you'd be really mad at me. And I'm sorry for turning you into a werecheetah." Gina and Brit looked at each other and nodded a message going between them that no one else heard. 'Let them talk right now.' And they slipped past Ranma who was going over to the bed to talk to Brianna.
"Yeah, I don't mind, being a were has its upsides you know? Heck I should thank you for doing this to me."
Brianna smiled, "Thanks that means a lot to me."
"So what do you think?"
"He's even hunkier than before."
"Let's see, martial artist, nice guy, speaks before thinking, and. . .hunky beefcake?!? Hey pictures. Oh my" *Drool*
