Apparently she had just spent the last five minutes beating the hell out of Blondie and as far as Ranma could tell he hadn’t done anything to deserve that. Even if he had healing abilities to rival Ranma’s own it still wasn’t right. It would be like saying he was free to beat the hell out of his spouse as long as she healed up afterwards.
Definitely something he didn’t want to expose an impressionable child to, and sure as hell something his daughter wasn’t going to be exposed to.
Her decision that he was probably a child molester because her daughter had said he was cute was another trait the Nermians had in spades. Jump to the worst possible conclusions on little or no evidence and act as if it’s fact. He couldn’t count the number of times people had been put in danger because of that little habit.
He wasn’t aware he was growling until he noticed everyone had backed away from him and Julia had fallen into a defensive stance.
Speaking formally, and finding the right words easy to say for once, he replied “If Blondie hadn’t been so helpful to me I would declare a blood feud on your clan for the insult you’ve given me, but seeing as how he was, I’ll simply take my child and go. Pray we don’t meet again.” Ranma’s mom would have been proud.
He did gain some satisfaction from the way their eyes bulged as he shifted form and cloaked himself in the Umisenken. It was tempered however by the way Julia gasped out “My Baby!” and ran from the room. She may be a lousy role model but at least she was a caring mom.
Sniffing the air he followed the scent of his daughter, a little amazed at how quickly he had adopted her into his heart as such, as the adults ran around searching for the children.
He finally traced her to the living room where Gina was being held by Julia and Theo was cradling Brittany.
Both looked more then a little paranoid as they stared at the corners of the room. Jonathan was already waving his hands in the air and chanting as Ranma entered the room unseen and unheard over the upset children crying, not understanding what was going on.
It was child’s play to tap the instant unconsciousness points on both mages and pluck Brittany from the air before she had a chance to fall. He had to dodge around Julia, who had already started to reach for Brittany when Theo had folded, but she didn’t expect her to vanish, so all went smoothly.
Ranma cooed gently to Brittany, who was upset by all the jostling, as he strode silently out of the house.
Now his only problem was where to go. If he had the Namban Mirror he could use it to reach the perfect place to raise her or maybe the Amazons and a younger Cologne would be helpful in raising a strong woman.
