“I am SO screwed...” Tirga thought with dread. He was starting to reconsider the option of running for the hills until it was safe to do anything, (or anyone) else.
Walking back slowly, Tirga was very intent on trying to leave, his eyes lingering on the small child suckling on Ranma’s teat...
However, he stopped as the older woman in the kimono stood up suddenly. Though she was shorter than Tirga, she seemed to be more intimidating than one could expect.
The Saotome Matriarch looked at Ranma and Ukyo. “Is this the young man, daughters?” Nodoka asked, referring to both Ranma AND Ukyo. Since Ranma could no longer marry Ukyo, the okonomiyaki chef had been adopted into the Saotome clan to appease honor. While this wasn’t much, it did at least save the Saotome honor on one front...
Letting out a sigh as she looked over at Tirga, Ranma nodded her head slowly. “Yes... That’s the Tirga.”
Growling, Ukyo glared daggers spatulas at the weretiger. “Yeah! That’s the bastard all right! I couldn’t forget that jerk no matter how hard I’d try!”
Sweating a little, Tirga decided that the hostility was really NOT a good sign.
However, before he could take one more step, the older woman was already up to him, her bundle unwrapped and revealed she had a sword...
...Which was pressed up against his neck.
Chuckling nervously, Tirga asked, “You’re angry, I take it?”
Holding back her fury for a moment, the Saotome Matriarch chose to just glare at the weretiger. “You have sullied my daughters and at least two other girls besides with your base lusts. Prepare to be dealt with.” Nodoka said in a hiss. While one would be happy that Tirga was quite ‘manly’, Nodoka was somewhat hypocritical. Seduce and abandon the two hussies, fine and dandy... Seduce, abandon and leave one of her own girls pregnant... No way in hell!
So the fact he was ‘manly’ was only enough to save him from permanent injury at the hands of Nodoka. And she could cause quite a bit of damage if she wanted to.
Time seemed to slow to a crawl as Nodoka and Tirga just stood there, neither moving a muscle as Nodoka held the katana to Tirga’s throat.
After a moment, Tirga managed to say, “That sword’s not silver, is it?”
“No...” Nodoka answered slowly.
“Then it won’t be able to kill me,” Tirga said, hoping that would get the woman to back down.
“I’m sure it won’t be able to kill you,” Nodoka said. “But I’d like to see how well you can run away with your head cut clean off your shoulders.”
Chuckling really nervously, Tirga muttered, “Touché...”
