"Fiance? Is he cute?" Nabiki asked.
"Oh, dear, I hope he's not young. Younger men are so... young," Kasumi mused.
"He's probably just some perverted BOY anyhow," stated Akane.
"Whoa now," paused Soun, "Actually, I've never met him... but it looks like you'll get to form you own opinions! That must be him at the door!" he yelled as he threw it open and embraced the boy on the other side, "Ranma, my boy!"
He paused. Wow. Genma must have been feeding his child right. Ranma was over 6 ft, layered with muscle and... was blonde and wore sunglasses?
Nabiki, "Dad, if you haven't noticed, that's a GAIJIN!"
Soun fainted.

"Hi, I'm Akane, want to be friends? I hear you're a martial artist, wanna spar?" Akane offered, caught in confusion, not knowing whether this was an imposter to be beaten up, or the real Ranma, who should be beaten up for trying to come here and marry one of them out of the blue, she decided to just be polite and beat him up anyhow.
"Now, hold on a minute, sugar, I don't do martial arts, I AM Martial Arts! Hoo ha huh!" Ranma posed for them.
"... Whatever. Dojo's in back."
As she cracked her knuckles in preparation for handing out the beating of a lifetime, she glanced at Nabiki. Hmm. Her middle sister appeared to find the boy's physique and good looks interesting. Now that she thought of it, her sister was rather influenced by Western shows and merchandise, and for a Gaijin, this person claiming to be Ranma was in fact quite good looking. Perhaps she would refrain from hurting him TOO badly.
She turned her attention back to Ranma and found him rolling back his sleeve and showing his biceps to her sisters, spewing some nonsense about how fine HE was.
"HEY! Want to get into position for our spar?" Akane called out.
"Hey, babe, when you're as good-looking as me, you can't waste a second in sharing your beauty to the chicks. Besides... I don't need to prepare or get in position for a spar with YOU. I mean, you're just some chick who thinks she knows martial arts."
Akane's viciousness meter swung back to her original "kill him" levels, and shot past that mark, off into the "pain. pain is goooood." section.
She decided to prolong his torture, and unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks at some of his less vital, but sensetive points, aiming to cause pain but not end the match. And was more than shocked when he swayed out of the way of all of them, both to individual moves, and against her combos. AND, he was still doing poses for her sisters.
So he DID have some experience at martial arts. Thinking for a moment, she considered he might even be better than her, probably could edge her out by slim margin... but he was barely paying attention to the fight, she could take this opportunity to cream him!
Attacking from behind this time, she planned out the best series of moves that would force him back against the wall, even if he avoided everything she threw against him. Unlikely, but why take chances, and possibly miss out on the chance to beat the heck out of this guy?
Moments later, she gave herself a mental pat on the back for making such allowances. He was even better than she thought, not only avoiding her strikes but launching into a new muscle pose every couple of attacks. But now, she had him cornered... Throwing everything she had into a killer punch, she threw herself forward, calling, "THE FINAL BLOW!"
Only to see her fist crash through the wall as something blurred upwards over her head. Thinking he would perhaps tap her in the back of the head or something, Akane spun around in a her best defensive posture... only to see Ranma striking yet ANOTHER pose for Nabiki. Who was taking pictures... might even have some pictures of her being humiliated during this sparring session! Worst of all...
"Why won't you pay attention to me!?!" She screamed in frustration and humiliation.
The blonde Gaijin in fron of her suddenly blurred towards her, and she found her defensive position useless as she found herself almost instantly pinned in... well, it seemed an odd derivative of Judo and maybe wrestling, being held in his arms only a foot or so off the ground, with his face mere inches from hers.
"Oh, baby, I'm sorry, I just forgot you were there! Don't want you to think you're less pretty than your sister or anything. You're both so fine, you're so fine you... erm, whoa, whoa WHOA! Are... are you crying?"
*****
"I... sniff... I can't believe I lost to HIM?!? And in such a humiliating fashion!"
"It's ok Akane, he DOES seem rather muscular, and, mmm, studly, doesn't he? I mean, he must really push his body to get as buffed, fast, and agile as that. It's not that you're any less good, he's just a pretty incredible guy. (though a bit of a jerk)"
"I HATE BOYS!!!"
