"Will you quit yelling at me!" Ranma shouted at Akane. "It's not like I want Shampoo hanging all over me!"

"Yet you still let her do it!" Akane shouted back. "Worse yet, you ate the bowl of ramen she brought. Don't you have any shame?"

"Hey, it was free food and I was hungry. It'd have been a waste not to eat it. What do you care, anyway?"

"I don't care!"

"Then why are you so mad?" Ranma blinked. "Wait a minute..." He zipped behind Akane and with the heel of his palm gently tapped her on the rear. Akane squeaked, jumping on the tips of her toes and blushing tomato red, her hands covering her behind. She spun around to slap her fiance silly, but for some reason could not. She blinked several times in confusion then let out a huff of breath. She was still upset with Ranma, but her hot anger had evaporated.

A huge grin split Ranma's face. "Hot damn! The Old Ghoul wasn't lying – that anger release pressure point really does work!"

Akane gave him a dirty look. "That's not fair, Ranma."

"Don't care!" he sing-songed back. Akane let out a loud 'humph' and walked away with as much dignity as she could muster, nose held high in the air. Ranma laughed. "This is great. No more tomboy temper tantrums!"

WHAM!

Ranma groaned from beneath the blade of an oversized spatula.

"Ran-chan!" shrieked Ukyo. "What are you doing goosing Akane? I'm your cute fiancee – you're suppose to be goosing me!"

"Saotome, you fiend! How dare you so blatantly molest the beauteous Akane Tendo. I, Tatewaki Kuno, will bring you to justice!"

"Hey Ranma," called out Nabiki, waving a digital camera, "I've got a picture I think my dad and your parents would really like to see. How much will you pay for me to delete it?"

"I can't win," moaned Ranma.
