"It's a beautiful night for a fight here at Furinkan Stadium, isn't it, Chibi-ma?" The female chibi-Ranma puppet sitting behind the table asked of her partner.
"It's early morning and this is a school, Chibi-ko," the male chibi-Ranma puppet shook his head, sometimes he thought Chibi-ko took after Ranma-kun's mother and Washu-chan a little too much.
Chibi-ko looked around at Ranma-kun and Kuno Tatewaki facing off, the large walls surrounding the area, the spectators, and frowned, "You're sure it's a school? The only thing missing is the vendors selling popcorn and drinks - unless you count Ucchan - it looks like some kind of stadium or arena to me."
Chibi-ma looked around like his partner had, then looked at her, "I hate it when you have a point."
"Hey, the fight's about to start - Stupid Kuno's even ranting about how the 'foul sorceror' trapped the 'Pig-Tailed Goddess's' soul in a doll, this might be a good one if he'll go all out over that," Chibi-ko commented.
"I don't know, Chibi-ko," Chibi-ma said, "Kuno's left arm looks like he's holding it kinda low - that kind of stance may hurt him in the later rounds."
"This is Kuno here, Chibi-ma," Chibi-ko countered, "I'm betting on a first round knock-out. Ask Nabiki if you don't believe me - I've got twenty-five hundred yen down on it."
"Sure, for the morning fight, but we all know he'll be back later in the day for another go," Chibi-ma reminded his partner.
"Not if Ranma-kun puts him in the school infirmary for the rest of the day," Chibi-ko pointed out, "Come on, Ranma-kun! Do it for me!"
Chibi-ma groaned and shook his head; Ranma-kun had looked at them to see what Chibi-ko was yelling about and ended up losing about two inches off of his hair to a slash from Kuno's bokken. The wooden practice sword itself never touched Ranma-kun, it was all air pressure. Kuno could do things like this and the tomboy thought she was a better martial artist, even than him? The only reason she ever won was because the Kendoist pulled his punches fighting her since his desires and his declaration were in conflict; he wanted to win to date the tomboy, but he never wanted to actually hurt her in the process. For all his 'unique' habits, Kuno probably understood restraint better than any of the other martial artists in Nerima, now that Chibi-ma thought about it, maybe even better than Ranma-kun since Kuno could restrain himself without it looking like he was mocking his opponent by not going all out. The fact that the tomboy never demanded Kuno fight her 'for real' like she did Ranma-kun was proof of that.
Turning his attention back to the fight, Chibi-ma was just in time to see Ranma-kun's idea of revenge for the haircut as he got Kuno in a headlock and...
"Oh, good gods!" Chibi-ma exclaimed in horrified shock, "There's gotta be a law against that!"
"Don't worry, Kuno," Chibi-ko added, "We're sure that somewhere out there is a girl who'll think that's a good look for you. If nothing else, there's always Azusa!"
"Now I'm sure there's a law against that," Chibi-ma remarked before shout at the kendoist, "Your father would be proud of you, Kuno!"
"Quick, somebody call Superman," Chibi-ko joked, "Lex Luthor's here now!"
The two chibi-puppets had a good laugh, even if most of the student body were still staring at Kuno standing there, looking at his hair laying on the ground around him after being on the recieving end of a Katchu Tenshin Amaguriken-noogie from his opponent.
"Five hundred yen on him calling Ranma-kun 'Foul Sorceror'," Chibi-ma commented to Chibi-ko.
"Nuh-uh," Chibi-ko shook her head, "It's gonna be 'Cur', I'll bet on it."
Kuno slowly reached up and patted his head with a hand before clenching his bokken tight and growling at Ranma-kun, "Disgraceful cur! How dare you defile the beauteous head of the noble scion of Kuno in such a way!"
"Pay up, sparky," Chibi-ko held her hand out to recieve the ten fifty-yen coins that Chibi-ma gave her.
Raising his bokken over his head, Kuno charged Ranma, only to recieve a swift kick to the jaw that sent him flying over the school building.
"And he's not The Heart-Break Kid, but Ranma-kun certainly played Kuno some sweet chin music today, folks," Chibi-ma announced, "It just goes to show that charging into battle with your sword raised and screaming just doesn't cut it anymore."
"Winners of today's 'Morning Matchup' betting pool, please remember to see Tendo Nabiki to collect your winnings," Chibi-ko continued, "And feel free to join us later for the Lunchtime Launchpad and the After-School Aftershocks!"
"For Chibi-ko and Ranma-kun, this is Chibi-ma saying... Good morning, now get to class!"
