Tirga shrugged, "So? I've made comments like that before. She's never thought anything about it." Ranma started listening a bit closer to the conversation.
Gar rolled his eyes at that, "She usually ka-pows you for those comments."
Tirga shrugged, "Yeah? She usually ka-pows me for anything really. But I mean, seriously, she needs to lighten up some."
Gar narrowed his eyes at Tirga, "How is your teasing suppost to help lighten her mood up?"
Thropan spoke up, "Seriously man, you tend to put her down more than anything. We all know that Sheila's got a complex over her birth defect and she's sensitive about others seeing or discussing her body."
Tirga just shrugged this off, "Seriously, she should lighten up some, I've seen her naked before and teased her and she's never gotten too upset."
"Oh really?" Gar's eyes narrowed, "Where?"
Tirga shrugged, "Many times when she was taking a bath." At this moment, Sheila, wrapped up in bandages walked out at exactly the wrong moment. "She should stay in human form more often. She's sexy in human form and rather plain in hybrid form." Sheila's eyes widened as she heard that coming from Tirga. Tears started to gather in her eyes as she realized that everyone just saw her as plain and not good looking.
Tirga then blinked as he felt a shadow loom over him, he looked and saw Ranma frowning at him. "Excuse me."
Tirga blinked, "What?"
Ranma then grabbed Tirga spun him and headbutted him against the wall. The other male members of the Edge Guard winced at this, Sheila was still trying to hold back her tears.
Tirga groaned, "What's your problem?"
Ranma glared at him, "You need to have more respect for your teammate pal. Especially since she's standing right there" Ranma then pointed to Sheila, who was just about in tears. Tirga's eyes widened as he realized that she must've heard the whole thing.
But before he could speak, Sheila spoke up, "Why?" She couldn't stop the tears anymore and just let them fall. "Is that how you really feel about me?"
Tirga winced, "I, er, well. Well uh ya gotta admit your hybird form does leave a bit to desire. ."
Onoli frowned at this, he had to make sure that the team worked together effectively, this wasn't cutting it. Ranma growled at the Weretiger and Sheila ran off with tears in her eyes, unminding of her body's protests. Ranma sneered at Tirga and went up to him and grabbed his collar and slammed him against the wall, causing Tirga's back, which was all ready in pain, to flare up even worse.
"What's your problem?"
Ranma snarled, "You don't have a right to ask you know. Now listen up, I'm not a gentleman myself, but you're totally out of line pal." Ranma snarled, his lips curling, somehow making his fangs seem longer and more menacing. Nali had stepped outside when Sheila did and saw the whole thing and got extrememly nervous when Ranma got pissed off.
Tirga gulped and got wide-eyed at the sight, "Mommy."
Ranma growled his next words out, "A word of advice. Unless it's respectful or courteous and unless she wrongs you, THEN NEVER MAKE RUDE COMMENTS ABOUT A GIRL'S BODY!!"
Ranma proceeded to lay Holy Hell upon Tirga, as he punched, kicked, and basically beat Tirga up at high speeds. Nali shivered at the sight even though Ranma was in his Cheetah form, she still remembered the fangs, 'It's exactly like that time.' Onoli, Gar, Raphiel and Thropan winced. Though Gar had to admit, he had never seen anyone, save possibly Julia, lay into someone like that in their anger.
When Ranma was done, Tirga was nothing more than a bloody pulp. "I'll admit, I've made fun of girl's looks before, but I learned my lession, and most of the time when I made fun of their looks, it was because they hurt my feelings somehow."
Ranma just turns and storms away, intent on finding Sheila. Nali walked out to the group, hiding her demeanor as she walked to the group. "Will someone help me get this insensitive jerk into the clinic so I can heal him?"
Meanwhile Ranma was running around sniffing the air, he found that his enhanced senses benefitted him greatly. He took a whiff of the air and nodded to himself, "That's Sheila's scent, just a bit differently, must be because she's not burned up right now." Ranma followed the scent and ended up at Dragon Jaw's Inn. He shrugged and walked inside and looked around, eventually spotting Sheila at a corner table crying to herself as she ate some food. Ranma walked over to her until the barkeep, Dragen stopped him, "Hey, you shouldn't bother her, she said she wants to be alone."
Ranma looked at him, a man with wings and an horn on his head, "Don't worry, I'm a friend of Sheila's."
Dragen narrowed his eyes at him as he looked Ranma in the eyes, "You're eyes don't betray you, fine, I'll let you go over there, but cause problems and I'm kicking you out, got it?"
Ranma nodded, "Yeah, I got it." Dragen nodded and let Ranma go over to Sheila. "Hey Sheila." He said when he got over there.
