Dawn breaks once again for Nerima, as two figures clash against each other in a battle for domination, as the sun peeks out from behind the nearby mountain and shines down on the town, the 2 figures are able to be made out, one with black hair and a blue dragon top, the other with blond hair with a red fox top. Suddenly the black haired one seems to gain the upper hand and knocks the other fighter into the pond below their feet, -splash-, As the black haired one lands, and leans over the pond, -splash-, A fox floats to the top then walks out, sniggering before turning and using the tails still wrapped round Ranma to drags him up and out of the pond. After receiving a fairly long glare, the fox glances round before walking out on to the water, and pushing a tail into the water. What happened next was strange to the tenth level, water raised up and around the fox before starting to spin, within a few a seconds the water was moving so fast that the inside was a blur. Ranma was sitting on the water and mediating, uncaring of the mass of water floating and spinning in front of him. Slowly at the very top of the semi-sphere of water another tail pushes out from the inside, twisting a little, winds seem to gather for a few moments at the tip of the tail before driving into the sphere and merging with it. The air cools and the water slowly freezes while still spinning, thin lines of ice form and slowly the numbers build up till the lines of ice almost touch, suddenly the tail flicks and the ice lines shot out in that direction, which happens to be Ranma. Just as they reach him, they burst into steam, leaving him completely untouched. That exercise done, the fox and girl move to a more open space before entering a stance and holding it for awhile, minutes tick by yet the two are completely motionless, entering the half-an-hour point the two launch themselves into motion and practice their skills. Slowly the sun reaching ever higher into the sky, the two stop.
"Breakfast" a voice calls, disrupting the houses moment of peace, the two family's crowd round the table and wait the few moments it takes for Kasumi to sit and gesture at the food, before they all start eating, the fox at the table is now dismissed as a normal thing, and conversation floats round the table, till most have finished. At the door Kasumi stands with a kettle and 4 bento's, waiting for her sisters and the younger guests to arrive to see them off, Course its at this moment they arrive, Ranma thanks Kasumi for the water and yesterday's meal, Akane and Nabiki grab a bento and exiting before shouting that they're leaving, the fox looks up at Kasumi smilies before shaking his head at the kettle.
"I prefer this form, so its ok, beside I'll most likely be splashed on the way. Plus I've a few tricks up my sleeves." Naruto says before shaking his paw at her at the mention of sleeves, this of course got a few giggles from Kasumi, before they both waved and walked off.
Quickly catching up with Ranma, who glanced at him for a moment, then said. "Hmm, if you going to stay in that form, best you use that Kage Henge (shadow transformation) of yours, after all its not everyday you see a talking 9-tailed fox is it." Naruto rolled his eyes, which had become almost habit, jumped up a bit reaching his front paws together and forming a few hand seals then focusing. -POP- a cloud of smoke bursts from the fox, before quickly blowing away to show, Naruto in his non-cursed form, clothed, cracking a few joints, checking his overall form, and hiding the 'belt' a bit more. Naruto turns to Ranma gesturing forward before breaking into a run, which Ranma quickly follows, cursing about head starts and the unfairness of it all.
"MY GOD, he's still alive, what is that guy made of, I mean he just KEEPS coming back." Ranma says to Naruto, a little freaked out by the boy standing tall in the middle of the courtyard in front of the school. Course the snot hanging by his nose messed up any image that he was going for. But as Kuno had said many many times the strike from the heavens is slow and swift. Of course not many actually LISTENED to what he said just the impression of what he was trying to get across. "So, what do we do, I mean I don't want to have to fight him everyday let alone 3 times like yesterday, it will just become so ANNOYING!" Ranma continued shaking his hands in an up and down motion, and hopping from foot to foot.
"Hmm, we could just sneak round him and watch for how long he stands there. He doesn't seem the type to actually think about his action, wait or the type to think at all." So the two brothers sneaked round to the side wall, hopped over it and walked in behind Kuno, who stood there staring out the entrance and not moving much. This display of just walking round Kuno sent many into laughing fits, and Nabiki into 'bet mode' who quickly started a bet to see just how long he would stand there and what he would say at the end.
Bing-Bong- As everyone left the classroom many looked out the window to see if Kuno was still there, of course he was, Naruto and Ranma looked to each other but shrugging and doing the disappearing jump trick like the day before.
"So, how long to you think he plans to stay there?" Ranma asked leaning over the edge enough to see Kuno. Naruto looked up from his meal for a second by answering.
"He doesn't PLAN anything, but he will most likely stay there all day till he sees us, then when he doesn't see us, will properly think he won or something, or hopefully, keep standing there each day till we confront him." Ranma hmm'ed before turning round and finishing his meal. quickly finishing, they both felt they body growing heavier and understanding why both stood and started their mid-day 45 minutes training.
After school saw Naruto, Ranma, Akane and Nabiki standing to one side and just in the entrance to the school, Kuno amazing enough was STILL standing there, STILL looking OUT from the school, but this time his foot was tapping the floor letting everyone know that yes he was awake. Turning round to see the 3 others, Naruto said, "Any fun idea's, or should we just leave him there." Naruto made sure to meaningfully glance at Nabiki at the 'fun idea's' part, who started to think, after a little while seemed to come up with quite a plan if her giggles were anything to go by, of course Nabiki whispered it to Akane who burst into a fit of laughter. Ranma looked questioningly at Naruto who shrugged, "Don't look at me, Nabiki's the one with the plan." so Ranma turns to look at Nabiki still questioningly. Nabiki chuckles at his clueless expression before choosing to enlighten him.
"You see what you must do is and there you have it" Nabiki says, whispering the part involving the plan. Ranma and Naruto chuckle a bit, before tilting their heads down to shadow their eyes and laughing evilly.
