But now that she knew exactly where the jerk was, she could go and give him a piece of her mind.
She'd have to show him that he couldn't run off like that without letting anyone know where he was. He'd left them with nothing but imaginings about his possible fate, probably never even considering telling her what was going on. For all she could have known, he could have been doing anything from lying in a ditch, to being surrounded by beautiful girls whose cooking he would eat!
Not that she cared, and it wasn't like she had been losing sleep over his possible fate. It wasn't like she was growing more and more distracted over what she might have done. And she was eating fine, thank you very much. Really.
All she had to do was to get to the shrine down this road and she'd be able to get to that annoying jerk.
"Don't worry! We will get this Ryouga Hibiki and punish him for his crimes!" cried out a girl who looked to be about her age.
Akane stopped as she heard the familiar name, and turned to look at the group of girls surrounding the one who had spoken.
"Captain," intoned another girl, "We will follow you in our quest to punish the cruel groper for his crimes!"
"Yeah!" called out the others.
"And we vow that we will not stop until he is properly punished!"
"Yeah!"
"Thank you girls, and I pledge that we will go forth and make certain that he pays for what he has done to Hitomi! No one shall touch her like that, and run off without paying for what he has done!"
"Yeah!"
"And now let us go out and find this girl that he has turned his attentions to so that we might get him through her!"
"Together!" called out another girl.
"Together!" declared the group as they strode away.
The Tendo girl watched them as they left, and frowned. It seemed that Ryouga had some sort of encounter with that girl, and had run off right after. But she had no clue as to exactly what that could be.
And then it hit her.
They had said that he had groped her and left! That meant that he had probably gone after her, had his fun, and dropped her without a word! He was also the same boy who was having an illicit liason with her own sister! Which meant only one thing!
Ryouga Hibiki was a playboy! He lured unsuspecting girls into lowering their guard, and then got what he wanted from them, before dropping them like yesterday's garbage! It had already happened to that poor girl, and now he was after Kasumi! Who was so innocent and pure that she'd never see what he was really like! He might have nefarious schemes about her body, or those gifts might really be apologies for his numerous affairs on the side!
That left her in a bind though. Should she go after Ranma, and finally bring him back where he belonged? Or should she go after Ryouga and prevent him from hurting her sister?
In the end, she decided to:
