Toph rather bore with just sitting around the Tendo-Saotome as Nodoka and Haruna were still going through the process of her own and the rest of her friend's transfer from their last high school to the one that was located near their new home here in Nermia. The blind bender had to wonder just how good this Furinkan High School was anyway as their principal seem rather obsessed with Hawaii disappearing to the island for long periods of time.
As she walked through the street of Nermia she could not help but notice that someone was cause a small crowd to form. Curious over what was going on she over there to get better 'look' as she could just tell what going on from where she was at the moment with her seismic sense yet had nothing better to do at the moment.
"Precious beauty I will allow you the honor of dating I, Tatewaki Kuno, age seventeen" he said to a obviously annoyed girl.
Everyone could see that she was annoyed by the guy it was so oblivious that even Toph could see that she was annoyed and her eyes could not see anything. Everything about this girl gave off the feeling that she just wanted this guy to go away. It only made funnier by the fact that he could not seem to take a hint as he just kept hitting on the girl making lame excuses about his previous failures.
"Fair Maiden there you are by far the most beautiful maiden that I have laid eyes on since the disappearance of the heavenly maiden of mist's youngest sister, the fiery tigress" Kuno said as he found a new girl to hit on.
Toph who had been laughing at how stupid this Kuno guy was stopped when she realized that the girl he was speaking to was her.
"Are you so stunned by my beauty that I have left you speechless to the magnificence that is I, Tatewaki Kuno" he said striking a pose as for some strange reason despite it being clear as day lighting stuck the ground in the distance.
Toph was indeed stunned by it was not by this guy's 'beauty' but at how he had not noticed she was blind from just looking at her and how she hear lighting just now.
"Dear maiden your eyes which shine like the two pale jade diamonds are not being deceitfulness to you for I am as beauty as I seem" Tatewaki said.
This cause everyone around him to instantly faceplant to the ground as Kuno was always good for a laugh and they all knew that he lived within his own little world where he was slightly out touch with reality. Yet no one believed that he was so deep in his delusion that he would hit on blind girl thinking she could see him.
For once in her life Toph was speechless as she could not really think of anything to say nothing at all. No one had ever gone this far in thinking she could actually see after taking a good look at her eyes.
"Would a goddess with skin like porcelain and steps like those of a Twinkletoes I give you the honor of a date with me"
Though sheer dumb luck Kuno had managed to say her mental trigger word leaving her open to do whatever he asked her next.
"Perhaps my Procelain Goddess did not hear me as I have given you the honor of dating me. What be your answer" Kuno said.
"Ok" Toph replied emotionless
"Then let us go" Kuno said offer out his hand.
Toph then took his hand as he told her to and walked off with him.
Leaving the crowd to wonder just what exactly happened as did Kuno just get someone to actually agreed to go on date with him. Many were left thinking that Toph was not in her right mind to actually agree to something like this which would not be that far from the truth. For the young bender was not currently in her normal mindset as she was currently in hypnotized trance like state cause by Huo's trigger word.
Three hours later on the upper north side of Nerima were most of the city's high class restaurant were located….
A limo pull up to fancy three star joint where they were known for their fine traditional Japanese cuisine and even more for their expense prices. The door opened to reveal one Tatewaki Kuno who was not wearing his normal kendo outfit but instead formal kimono and rather then wooden sword he was always seen carrying around. The sword he had at his side at the moment at least for the looks of it appeared to be a real sword within a sheath.
The second person to come out was a shock those of the restaurant as Kuno was regular patron to their establishment. It was mostly because of the money that he pumped into their restaurant through his dinning their that they became such high class restaurant in the first place, so whenever he call to say he was coming they pulled out all the stops for him. However he had also come with either his team or in rare case his younger sister(who was surprising normal considering the rest of her family tree) and her best friend.
Though the person to come out the limo was teenager girl probably only a year younger then him dressed in fancy kimono herself that green and yellow compared to Kuno which was just the same color of his normal kendo outfit.
'A date!!!!' was the thought that ran though the mind of all those that saw who Kuno had on his arm as he entered the restaurant. So shocked by the fact that someone not only agreed to go out with the Kuno but indulge into his fantasy world that they completely missed the vacant expression that remain ever present on her face
"Greeting Kuno-sama as your usually table has been prepare for you and your…your…guest" the greeter at the front entrance said.
"Excellent for now we shall dine of the finest cuisine Nerima has to offer, my dear Porcelain Goddess" Kuno said.
"Ok" Toph replied in monotone
Leaving the greeter to wonder if Kuno's 'date' was here of her own free will as that look on her face nor the tone of her voice suggested she was willingly doing this. However they were just a lowly greeter and other had lost their jobs before by doing anything to threat Kuno's having a good time here whenever he visited.
The 'date' was rather one side to all those looking at from the outside as Kuno simply sat there babbling on and on about various thing while Toph simply gave simple one word to sentence responses because of her current state. Another things people looking on did not seem to get was why Kuno was continuing asking a blind girl about appearance either his own or hers. Though it was clear she was not a normal blind teen from the way she carried herself and various other reactions yet still she was blind. She could not possibly actually see Kuno's face in detail or even her own for matter.
The 'date' came to abrupt end when everyone here what sounded like a small plane flying dangerous low over their heads. The sound kept getting closer and closer until…BANG…something crashed through the ceiling revealing the sky above.
There standing on Kuno's table was rather angry anthro bison looking creature with four arms and beaver like tail growling at the restaurant's number one patron.
"What matter of sorcery is this!!!" Who dare send a demon to interrupt the date of Tatewaki Kuno" he said brandishing his sword…his real sword towards the demon.
Grabbing the sword with one arm and Kuno with the other the 'demon' used one of his two remaining arms to splash Toph with her drink. Thus cause her curse to activate transforming her into badgermole girl while at the same time snapping her out the trance she had been in for almost three hours.
"Unhand me and my sword foul fiend!!! Also return my Porcelain Goddess to her true form free of your foul magic" Kuno demand.
The 'fiend' took Kuno with their two lower arms and with their two upper ones held his sword in front of him as they broke in half like it was toothpick.
"Ranma let him down" Toph told him.
"Wait Ranma do not let him down!" Akane shouted out as she flew in through the hole he had made earlier. She was able to see from the above that expression on Toph's face when she told Ranma to put this guy down was not good.
"Fool Demon not only have you transformed my Porcelain Goddess into this unsightly form but have mostly like done the same thing to the fiery Tigress Akane Tendo who has been missing as well" Kuno exclaimed.
This caused Akane to shuttered as she really hoped that she did not have anything to do with this guy as just hearing him talk gave her the chills along with a bad feeling.
Yet while this was happening Ranma had put Kuno down like Toph had told him to once again.
"So you will not listen to the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High yet the radiance of my Porcelain Goddess is so much that she came even make fiends do her bidding even in that monstrous form currently been cursed with" Kuno said after he was let down turned towards Toph expecting her one thing but what he got was something else.
For the only thing he got once turned his vision towards her was a giant earth mallet to the face… repeatedly. It was like Toph was nailing a board in which Kuno was the nail and the floor was the board. When she was finally done Kuno had been nailed so far into the ground he would later on have to be dug out.
Of course no one really contest to getting Kuno any help as they did not want to piss off this 'Ranma' as Toph called him nor her either as she was just as dangerous judging from her actions. While Akane was busily apologizing for her friends action before leaving realizing that being in her dragon girl form was actually do more harm then good. She did not revert to her human form as she only knew how to get back home from the air.
At the hospital later that day…
"Seriously brother dear did not you notice she was blind and not acting normal" Kuno's younger sister Kodachi sighed as she sat at her brother's bedside.
"It must be foul magic that has come across my Porcelain Goddess by that foul demon Ranma" Kuno exclaimed as his hard head proved useful for once since it prevent him from getting any brain damage or crushed after getting the nail treatment from Toph.
"Ranma is not a demon nor has Toph been cursed" Kodachi told him.
"Lies, All lies for there must be foul magic at work as my Porcelain Goddess decided to take the honor of dating I, Blue Thunder of Furinkan High on her own" he said.
'How did I get born into this family? Though I do thank whatever power that may be I managed to come across Nabiki and Nodoka when I did. Otherwise who knows how I could have turned out" Kodachi thought as Nodoka's positive influence had not only effect the Tendo sister but Kodachi as well.
