You don't have to wait long to tell me, Akane" Ranma said, stepping out of the shadows of the back alley.
"Ranma!" All three jumped, shocked that he'd been snooping around, eavesdropping.
----------
"Have you told Mr. Tendo yet?" Ranma asked.
"None of your business, Ranma!" Akane was angry for being eavesdropped on, again.
Ranma turned to walk away. "You probably should you know." And then he was gone.
Akane looked over at Ukyo and Shampoo. "Was he threatening me?" Ukyo and Shampoo only looked dumbfounded.
----------
Later that night, Akane went home, feeling uneasy. With good reason, the moment she entered the house, she could feel the tension in the air. Ranma had made it home first.
Tension grew when she found Soun waiting for her. He was dressed in his formal kimono, and sitting as if waiting for tea ceremony. A ceremonial blade and a katana sat next to him.
Akane gulped. Maybe she reassured Shampoo and Ukyo too soon about that seppuku thing...
The End.
