Also, anybody who could get Akane Saotome riled up
enough to used such an {insulted : insult} deserved it.
Especially since she didn't like the description any
more than the rest of them did.
"He is right you know," a Ctarl Ctarl said, coming
to step in beside Akane. "You CAN draw well, you
should try to sell something {some time : sometime}."
"My daddy is powerful," she said idly. "My daddy
can beat your daddy even when my daddy is in his
normal body. And my mommy says Ranma beat my daddy.
So your daddy is not even second. My mommy could beat
up your daddy. Tenchi can already leap twice his own
height, my daddy is teaching me how to leap. My {Daddy : daddy}
can fly. Maybe Tenchi's mommy will teach Tenchi how
to fly? Then Tenchi will come and take me away like a
prince and a princess in a story. Will your mommy
teach you how fly? Can your mommy fly? Can your
DADDY fly?"
"Oh, hiya!" Akane said as she noticed Sano. She
had seen him once or twice when 'Auntie' Ukyou and
Hibiki-san came over, but the boy had never really
talked to her yet. She was more familiar with the
older {Hibiki's : Hibikis} really, but she guessed the boy was
just shy.
"Saotome," Sano growled. Akane blinked and looked
around for her brother for a moment. Usually growled
last names were directed at him by teachers or
whoever. She finally blinked, confused, and looked to
{Ryouga : Sano}.
"Hey! Sis!" a voice said. "Are you okay? What
happened?" Tenchi Saotome, black and silver hair tied
back in a pigtail imitating his father, {landing : landed} near
his crying sister, looking worried.
He {quited : quieted} down quickly upon seeing Akane in her
mother's lap, eyes frightened and red from crying.
Minagi sat quietly in her stroller and watched{: .}
"Excuse me," Ryoko said. "What {batter : better} school is
there for the moment? Shampoo's kids, the Hibikis,
Kaneda Tendo, your sister, and that Tarou kid all go
to that school! What makes Akane and Tenchi diff..."
She trailed off as she noticed that Ranma was turning
tight-lipped.
"Yeah, I guess the {other :} kids don't want any," he
said. "They're too busy playing video games. More
for us and the baby then." Tenchi was almost
instantly at the table with Akane close behind.
"Right, {dad : Dad}," Sano said {glummly : glumly}. Even his own
parents didn't think he could beat that girl. Well,
he'd show them.
She saw from the position of Akane's feet that the
girl was standing up. Suddenly the last stall door
flew open and Akane stuck her {hed : head} out, an enraged,
tear-streaked face {appearing : appeared}. Her hair had been
hacked ridiculously short and left ugly and uneven.
"There, you can laugh at me now!" Akane said. "Now
go away!!" She slammed the door shut again and
{commenced crying : started crying again : continued crying}. The result was not quite what Akane
expected.
"{THIS : THE} LITTLE MONSTER CUT YOUR HAIR!!!!?" Aisha
shouted. Eyes were directed toward them again.
About fifteen minutes later the school was {planning : working}
on a way to get the girl out of the locker. It seemed
that the keys to the lockers had been lost and no one
could find the combination. The appearance of a
practically terrified Ranma and Ryoko caused quite a
stir. This was mostly because their appearance was
just that.
Whatever she said to Akane was too quite to hear,
but when she came out she was boiling bad and using a
small dagger of energy to cut open the locker. After
cutting the door open, Ranma ripped it off {it's : its}
hinges. Then they cautiously, gently pulled their
daughter out.
"He found ways to train himself," Akane said. "And
{he's : he'd} always been more into that stuff than I {am : was}. So
he caught up with me kinda fast. I had to work hard
to stay competitive with him."
Changing her 'am' to 'was' doesn't mean she still is less interested, but
the point is that she wasn't as interested at the time of the story she's
telling.
"It's just this little rock in space," Aisha said.
"Not even a planet." Poor Aisha had no idea that she
was heading to her first encounter with the Outlaw
Star.
I was wondering whether this was before or after that adventure.
"Excuse me," someone said from behind the large
group of women. "I'm supposed to find my new partner
here. I can't read these symbols, but that man over
there said she was in this large group of women when I
showed it {too : to} him."
"Wait...I figured it out," Sano said proudly. "I'm
looking for a Detective First
Class....Akane....Saotome." He spoke slowly, voice
turning to a whimper as he {went a long : finished : went along}.
"Oh, the kami hate me," he said quietly. Kiyone
quietly took {one of :} Akane's gun away while she was
distracted and made sure it was out of reach.
"Would it help if I said I was sorry?" Sano asked.
The look in Akane's face as she slowly stood up
said no.
An interesting start. I could sort of smell it coming since they'd been
childhood rivals, but it will be very interesting to find out what Sano's
been doing since he disappeared.
