So he had a bunch of blonde giggly underdressed elves, a pixie, some human-sized winged gal, another elf who had greenish hair and gills (?!), and some girl with four arms.
They kept looking at him, giggling, feeling his muscles, and other stuff.
"Ranma Saotome! Somehow this is all your fault!" Ryoga said as the pixie landed on his shoulder and started making odd noises as she hugged his neck. "Thanks to you I keep getting cuddled by nearly naked women! Waitaminute. That didn't sound right. Thanks to you I've seen... no. That doesn't work in this situation either."
Meanwhile the rescued prisoners continued to follow the wandering hero, speculating whether he was a paladin (which would explain his reluctance to accept their thanks) or a ranger (because he seemed to be lacking in armor) or perhaps something they'd never heard of before. Obviously he was some noble sort of hero to go rescuing them! Perhaps he was leading them to his Lord?
"Hello Kasumi. Would you please get us something so we can get the basics of your language down?" Sanri asked.
"You're speaking Japanese?!" Kasumi was noticeably startled by this.
"Not quite, I'm using a translation spell," explained Sanri. "The problem is that it only lasts a short time."
"Oh," said Kasumi, thinking. "So maybe some children's books?"
"That would probably work to start," agreed Sanri. "We also will require instruction on how to assist in your duties here in the Master's home."
"Oh, but Ranma doesn't own this home," corrected Kasumi. "He's a guest here."
"Perhaps you could explain while the spell is still going?" asked Sanri. "I'd like to learn more about Ranma."
Akane glanced at Ranma in the classroom, and caught Ukyo doing the same. She turned her attention back to the textbook before the teacher could catch on.
Last night had been bizarre. Even for the standards that had developed a few months ago when Ranma had come on a rainy day in March.
Ranma had been late for dinner. Unusual.
Ranma had shown up with two darkskinned lighthaired elven refugees from what sounded like an Evil Empire. Several steps beyond unusual.
That dance. No, forget about the dance. Do not go there. Nope. Fast forward past THAT.
Bath scene. Uhm. Better fast forward past that. Seeing Ranma bathe set off all sorts of pervert alarms for some reason.
More revelations about where the elves had come from not sounding like Happy Fairyland.
Giant Spider Monster. Urban legends coming out of Juuban to fight the monster. Ranma getting involved. Being thrown all the way to... oh yeah.
Akane turned to Gosunkugi. "After class." krick crack
Okay maybe cracking her knuckles hadn't been the most feminine thing to do.
Back to last night. Battle ends. Spider bites the dust. Everyone goes home.
Except something had changed while she'd been thrown all the way to Gosunkugi's bedroom and the resulting slow hike back.
This morning, Ranma had been quieter than usual. Nabiki had looked haggard and hadn't been hungry. Kasumi had been humming some odd song.
There was also, and Akane couldn't believe she was the only one to think of this, the possibility of the Evil Empire coming after those two. Just her luck there'd be yet another magical prince kidnapper. After Kirin and Touma - she'd had her fill of such things, thank you very much.
Akane spent a few minutes looking at Ranma, trying to figure out what was different about him. At least until the teacher bounced a piece of chalk off her forehead.
What she didn't know was that Ranma was at Ground Zero of a Moon Healing Escalation, and the effect on him was:
