"Hello again, Ranma Saotome."
"Heya, Death." He said, still lying down in a small crater created by his landing earlier.
He greeted the personification of Death like someone would greet a friend. It's because this is not the first time he meet her. He looked at Death from where he has been lying in the crater.
Death appears as a young, attractive, slim woman of average height in her early to mid-'20s. She has very pale skin, dark eyes, long jet-black hair that she wears in a variety of styles whenever he meets her, and has an Eye of Horus painted under one of her eyes.
He knows that she prefers to dress casually and she always wears black clothing, usually in the form of a black tank top and slim jeans and occasionally a black multi-tiered or ruffled skirt, and a pair of opaque black tights. Death likes to wear a variety of accessories including top hats, spiked bracelets, and a leather jacket. Sometimes she carries a cane or umbrella, not the one like Ryoga has, the normal type but her most notable accessory is a silver ankh which she wears on a chain around her neck.
"The tomboy's cooking?" She asked.
"Nah, Akane Air today. We not at Nerima anymore, you didn't notice?"
"Oh, really? Ah, are we at Juuban right now?" She said after looking around briefly.
"Yeah." He said, finally getting out from the crater. There are no specks of dust and dirt on his clothes, due to him coating his clothes in a very thin layer of Ki. Death offered her hand from the edge of the crater. He accepted her cold hand.
"Why is she malleting you today?" She asked, pulling him out of the crater. Both of them then walked towards the nearest bench.
"Dunno. I swear, she gonna kill someone someday if she doesn't reign in her temper." She sat next to him.
"She will."
"Did she?"
"Yes. I'm Death, remember?"
"I'm pretty sure she will probably blame the one that got killed, instead of taking the blame."
"Yes. It is quite amusing when she use that argument in court. She really delusional, that child."
"Yeah, she still convinced she's better than me. Wait, did you ask Destiny?
"That's because you let her hit you. And yes, I did ask Destiny."
"I can take her beatings."
"But not every time."
He got silent after that remark. "Yeah...not every time." He quietly adds.
She looked at him with the expression that what could only be qualified as pity. "Want some drinks? It's on me." She asked after a few moments of silence.
"...sure."
She silently conjured two can of soda. She handed him one of the cans.
"Thanks." He opened the can. Some of that cold soda hit his hand, soaking his hand, yet he still remains male.
"You finally take up Hild's offer?" She asked him. For the curse to be activated, just soaked like that is enough.
"Yes and no. I'm still cursed, but the curse will be activated only if I wanted to."
"Oh...partial cure, then?"
"Yes. Anyway, do you stay around a little longer, or did you need to go somewhere?"
"Ah! I do need to meet Dream later." She finished her drinks and tossed the empty can right into the trash bin.
"Oh, send my regards to Dream then."
"I will." She got up. "Where will you go now?"
"Probably crashing on the Outers house. Don't want to deal with those guys on Nerima now."
"I see."
Before she go to her meeting, she turned to him and she asked him the question she always want to ask him. "You know, I wonder why you keep staying there, rather, in Nerima in general? Is it because the honor demand that? Or that you love that tomboy?"
"Honor? Love? Keh, no way. This is my way as revenge for all the bullshit I have to live through while I'm staying there." He sat up from the bench.
"How so, might I ask?" She was really curious about his plan for revenge.
"That's..." He drawled on.
"...a secret." He winked and flashed her his rarely used evil grin.
When she saw his grin, she shakes her head. "Hild teaches you well."
"What can I say, I'm the best and Hild-san is a very good teacher." With that, he jumped on the nearest tree's branch and disappeared into the canopy of trees.
She looked in the direction of where Ranma Saotome going for a little longer and she then promptly vanished from the park
