Akane was blowing off steam in the training hall, punching and
kicking in every direction. "It makes me sooo mad!" She said between
punches. She jogged over to a corner and brought out a life size doll
modeled after Ranma. She stationed it in the middle of the room and began
to beat the life out of the doll. "AARRGGHH!!!" She screamed as she thought
about Ranma being so close to Selene. "That.that.that.GIRL!!" She began to
beat down on the doll again, and the doll was looking a bit pathetic now.
It's arms were sagging, its legs were barely attached, the torso had holes
and straw sticking out all over the place, and its head.well, the head was
more or less still part of the body. It was mutilated and it was at the
feet of the doll. Panting she stopped and looked at the doll.
It no longer resembled a doll at all. A lot of the cloth was torn and straw was visible no matter what angle you looked at it. But Akane still pounded the stuffing out of it. Though Unbeknownst to her, Selene and Ranma silently stood in the doorway. Ranma winced at every punch that caused the dummy to lose an appendage or some of its insides. And he knew quite well that it was him who it was representing. "I'm dead, huh?" He whispered to Selene and she nodded, not even looking in his direction. Ranma sighed and walked away from the Dojo. Though as he walked away Akane kicked the head off of the doll.
When Akane was done maiming the doll Selene walked up towards her. She picked up the head of the doll and placed it back on the stand. "Look, Akane." Selene said before Akane cut her off.
"What?" She bit back violently. "Do you have anything else to say or steal?!?!"
Sighing Selene looked up at Akane. "I never met to steal anything from you, but yes, I do have something to say." She noticed the glaring daggers in Akane's look and decided to make her words quick. "I never meant for anything to happen like this ok? I'm just Ranma's friends and I know that you're one of his fiancées." She saw the daggers in Akane's look dull down to just about nothing. "But there is absolutely nothing and I repeat NOTHING going on between us."
"And what makes you think that I suspect that?" She said with a little attitude in her voice.
"The doll would be one and the fact that you called me, and I quote 'That.that.that.GIRL!' with a lot of venom in your voice." Selene stated plainly, and saw Akane blush a little. "Look, Kasumi asked me to tell you that dinner is done. If you wish to eat I suggest you go before Ranma and Mr. Saotome eat all it." With that Selene turned around and left the training hall.
"I can't listen to nutcases like her and Ranma anymore. Shampoo and Ukyo go into the category too." Akane said and sighed. She lifted the doll up and placed it back in the corner in which she had found it and walked back into the main house. Everyone was gathered around the table and eating noodles. A place was set for Akane and she sat down in front of Ranma. Selene sat next to Kasumi and Mr. Saotome and ate slowly. She was the only one besides Akane who had the bowl practically full.
"Selene." Genma said between mouthfuls. "You really ought to eat something. It helps your body and strength you know."
"Yes, Mr. Saotome I know." Selene replied lifting some noodles on her chopsticks and then placing it back down in the bowl.
"Call me Genma." He said and Selene barely acknowledged him. "Are you going to eat that?" He asked and she shook her head. He placed his empty bowl of noodles on the table and took Selene's.
"Hey!" Ranma called out. "I wanted those!"
"Ranma, there are more here." Kasumi said gesturing towards the pot next to her full of noodles. "And Mr. Saotome," Kasumi turned to him. "You don't have to take Selene's dinner. Do you want any Selene?" Selene shook her head and then look up at everyone.
"Um.I'm going to be anyway for the week or so." She informed them. "I need to do some things in America and I need to do them soon." She said and then continued when everyone stopped eating. "I'm leaving tomorrow."
"What?!" Ranma and Akane said at once.
"You're leaving?" Nabiki said and then added. "Can you bring me back a gift?" Then she pulled out a piece of paper from behind her back. "Here are some things you can choose from." Selene stared at her dumbfounded.
"Uhh, I guess I could." Selene said a bit unsure of what she was doing. Then Soun took the list and wrote two things on it.
"Can you get me those two things?" He asked kindly, and sounded almost as though he were pleading with her. The list went around the table and everyone wrote something they wanted onto it.
"I highly doubt I'll have the time to get anything though." Selene stated.
"But you have to. Its only polite." Genma said but Selene looked at him as though she might murder him if he spoke anymore about 'politeness'.
"Anyway, I'm leaving at 10:45 and have an 11o'clock flight tomorrow." Selene said ignoring Genma telling her to get the gifts. "You know what Genma?"
"What?" He asked. She stood up and grabbed a bucket and walked down to the pond and scooped up some of it. She walked swiftly back to him and dumped the water over his head.
"That." Selene said satisfied. Genma, now a panda, lifted a sign that said 'What was that for?' "A lot of things Genma." Selene replied and threw the bucket outside. "I'm going to sleep." She got up and began to walk up the stairs when she hollered. "The school knows that I'm going to be out for a month so don't worry about that." Then they heard a door shut and every at the table looked at one another.
