Akane's POV
Things had been altogether too quiet since Ryu had left for America and his brother a week and a half ago. At least as quiet as it got in Nerima. But in the mean time, there was the China Festival and I was able to get a stuffed chicken with coupons. It was either that or the choice between a stuffed pig and a stuffed panda and given the two people I associate with those two animals, it wasn't much of a choice.
I was walking home when I spotted Kasumi, so I decided to show off my latest stuffed animal. Unfortunately, that's when the Universe decided we had had enough of a break and sent our lives back into chaos. He took my stuffed chicken…with grappling claws. Then the guy jumped down from a roof while on a unicycle and told us to tell Ranma that 'the Mysterious Masked Man' had kidnapped me, all the while, he was holding the chicken. He then told us to tell Ranma to be front and center at the Chinese Circus if he ever wanted to see 'Akane' again. Only one human is that stupid and blind. Looks like Mousse has come back to Nerima. He then gave me a ticket and left while cackling the worst cackle I have ever heard.
Two hours later
Ranma and I were at the circus and I was trying to talk Ranma out of it.
"It's not like he's got the real me." I pointed out
"It's the principle of the matter! First, we can't let him walk all over us like that! Second, he stole your stuff. I won't take that lying down." Ranma replied
"I'm not going to win this one, am I? At the very least, try not to antagonize him more than needed." I asked
"Fine, I'll try not to." Ranma conceded and then Shampoo showed up. She tried to drag Ranma off on a date, but he managed to stop her. Shampoo then told us she had found a ticket to the circus and Ranma pulled out the one we had. I guess Mousse wanted to woo Shampoo by trying to beat up Ranma. Mousse then showed up and he had my chicken.
"Ranma Saotome, until you release your evil hold on Shampoo, Akane Tendo shall be my woman," Mousse informed us…this guy was raised in a matriarch, right? I'd hate to see how he'd have turned out if he'd grown up in any patriarchal society.
"Hey stupid, in what was does that look like me!" I shouted at him and he then put on his glasses.
"Akane Tendo had turned into a stuffed chicken!" He cried
"I'm over here you moron." I grumbled and then swiped back my chicken.
With the crisis seemingly averted, we decided to make use of our tickets. We should have known better. In the middle of the circus, Ranma got selected at 'random' for one of the stunts. Ranma was then locked down to a board.
"No worries, assistant only get killed one time!" The Ringmaster informed us. Somehow, that doesn't make me feel better. Then we saw that the performance was a knife throwing duck. As if that wasn't bad enough, the duck seemed to be out for Ranma's blood; if the six knives that he had to catch in his teeth were anything to go by. Then it decided to play WWII pilot started dropping bombs everywhere. Shampoo and I were going to go save him, but when the smoke cleared; neither Ranma nor the duck were to be seen.
Ranma's POV
During the confusion, I manage to break free and grab the duck. When I found some hot water, I discovered that the duck was really a cursed Mousse.
"Prepare for death, Ranma Saotome," Mousse said
"You paid for this ticket, and I plan on enjoying it," I informed the blind idiot.
"Oh, you'll enjoy it alright; I want to share everything with you. Yes, I wouldn't dream of keeping all the 'fun' to myself." Is it just me, or did Mousse just sound incredibly gay for a straight guy? Mousse then showed me a bucket of what he claimed to be Jusenkyo water from the Spring of Drowned Duck. He then told me how he had gotten cursed and got bit by a monkey he thought was me because he had his glasses off again. So while he was busy with the monkey, I dumped out his water. Unfortunately, Mousse had water balloons and tried to soak me.
Thankfully, he got hosed by Shampoo, whom he then tried to woo, but failed. It almost made me feel sorry for the guy. So of course, he had to turn around and nearly skewer me with throwing knives. I tried to get away, but since we were in the middle of the fairgrounds, there were lots of people and Mousse didn't care about any of 'em. So I had to save a couple of people from getting killed and/or turned into ducks. Eventually, I managed to pin Mousse with some pinwheels.
"Listen up, duck boy; stop trying to pin all your problems on me! I've got Ryoga for that! I don't need you doing it too! And besides, I've got about as much interest in Shampoo as-" That's when Shampoo clocked me with a fish tank. As if that wasn't bad enough, she upended the thing on herself and turned into a cat. I took off running and didn't look back.
Akane's POV
I had been looking for Ranma for hours, but still couldn't find him. With any luck, he's back home safe and sound. But I didn't want to risk being wrong and leaving Ranma to a terrible fate. So I kept looking. Shampoo was also missing, but I doubt she somehow managed to get Ranma to take her on a date.
My search took me outside the fairgrounds, where I was ambushed by Mousse. He startled me and then swiped my chicken…again. Then he proclaimed that he had captured me…again. Does he just have some kind of learning disability? I wouldn't be surprised! I decided to head home before Mousse found the presence of mind to put his glasses on to check if he had caught the real me.
On the way home, I couldn't get the image of Ranma and Shampoo out on a date somewhere out of my head. I know it was silly and even on the off chance that he was on a date with her I shouldn't care, but it was still eating at me none-the-less. So I took a moment to think about why it was bothering me. I know Ranma and I had grown closer since the whole Cat Tongue fiasco, but did that include romantically? Even if it did, there would be only one real reason I would be jealous of Shampoo…it would because of her willingness to glomp Ranma no matter what form she found him in, girl-type or boy-type. If I were to…kiss…Ranma, would I care if it were as boy-type or girl-type? Should it even matter? Does it make me a horrible person if I won't kiss him in girl-type? Where is Ryu when you need him?!
I think I'll close it on that note. While I'm thinking about it, thanks to everyone who's reviewed and please leave more reviews in the future!
