Broken Hearts Combined Chapter 21: Hell Hath no Fury like a Jagwere Scorned
It's been about a week since Ranma and crew have left the capital of the East Continent; Tessa. Thanks to Britanny's werecheetah speed, they are now four days ahead of schedule. This is no problem, as Ranma wants to get to Trine without having to go through a full two weeks of travel.
(-)
It is early in the morning, with very little light out. We see Ranma, Britanny and Sheila just walking along the side of a river, making their way to Di'brev. Britanny and Sheila keep pace behind Ranma while talk to each other about the 'finer' things in life…
Britanny (Whispers): Hey Sheila.
Sheila (Whispers): Yeah?
Britanny (Whispers): Is it just me or does Ranchan look great when he sweats…
Sheila (Whispers, smiles): Mmm hmm… Very fine… Especially when the clothes cling to his skin…
Britanny (Whispers): Oh yes indeedy…
Sheila (Whispers): You know what I like the best about Ranchan? Besides the toned muscles I mean…
Britanny (Whispers): What?
Sheila (Whispers): His pigtail… It looks sooooooooooo cute on him! It gives him a somewhat 'boyish' charm…
Britanny (Whispers, smiles): Indeed…
Britanny and Sheila let out a sigh. They conversation turns away from each other and they retreat into their own thoughts.
Britanny & Sheila (Think): Patience… Have to stay patient with him… Soon… Very soon… Ranchan will be mine! Just got to get rid of the 'competition' first… And then… Tee hee!
Britanny and Sheila close their eyes and smile as they start to purr while thinking of various 'naughty' things they could do to Ranma…
Meanwhile, a few feet ahead of the two werecats, Ranma gets a shiver up his spine. He then sneezes.
Ranma: ACHOO! Sniff… (Thinks). Brr… Why do I get the feeling someone is thinking about me?
The three continue to walk.
(-)
Later in the evening, Ranma, Britanny and Sheila stop to set up camp for the night and continue their training.
Ranma basically chooses the area they're in right now while traveling. It is basically open fields for as far as the eye can see, with a river close by, making it an ideal camping and training spot.
Ranma: This place is as good as any. Okay, how about we continue training?
Britanny & Sheila: YES! I'LL SHOW YOU JUST HOW MUCH I IMPROVED MY RANCHAN!
Britanny and Sheila blink. They then turn and glare at each other.
Ranma (Thinks): Uh oh…
Britanny & Sheila: 'YOUR' RANCHAN!? HE'S MINE! HIYAH!
Britanny and Sheila jump at each other and start fighting, biting, punching, and pulling at each other's hair while kicking up a cloud of dust.
Ranma (Sweat drops): Sigh… There they go again…
Yep… The training sessions have become real interesting over the time for the three fighters of the 'True' Anything Goes Style…
But it's not just fighting between the two werecats… They have all indeed improved in their own ways…
(-)
Thanks to Ranma's help, Britanny has become an incredibly proficient fighter. She is already incredibly fast and strong too boot, but thanks to her training under Ranma, he has helped her go onto a greater level of 'finesse', of 'grace' than she ever had before. Britanny's fighting stance and movements have almost taken on the form of a beautiful, deadly ballet, perfectly suiting the power and speed of a cheetah.
And then there's the fact Ranma has been helping Britanny with ki and chi harnessing. To be honest, she's not the best with doing meditation to gather chi from the forces of nature around her, but she is great at channeling her own energies. Ranma's teaching have helped her gain her emotional focus to gather ki, and she's slowly, but surely been getting the hang of pure ki. And the fact he has her do all sorts of ki exercises has raised her ki reserves tremendously.
Still, Ranma tries to focus her training on using pure ki now… He's glad she can use emotional-based ki, since it is incredibly useful when you need to gather ki and FAST, but as Ranma's learned from experience, it just sets the body off-balance. Making the positive emotion stronger than the others, or making the negative emotions so strong, it actually 'hollows out' the person's soul…
And finally for Brit, Ranma has worked on some moves of the Neko Ken with her. She still can't due much except for the Kamisori Nekotsume, or Razor Cat Claw, but that is enough for her. She probably figures she doesn't have the ki reserves to do stuff like Ranma's Kiru Nekotsumekaze, or Cutting Cat Claw Winds yet, but as said before, she is working on gaining larger ki reserves.
(-)
Sheila on the other hand, while still a bit behind Ranma in Britanny in skill, has still improved tremendously. Ranma has been inducting her more into the 'true' Anything Goes style, trying to help her balance out her strengths and weaknesses. She's gotten to the point where she's no longer completely dependant on her scimitar Ice Fang to fight. She can now easily go into hand-to-hand combat when needed.
Ranma's also been trying to help Sheila on using her ki and chi. Sheila has, surprisingly no problem getting energy from around her; from other sources. Probably comes from her experience using magic and such. But trying to tap into her own ki reserves has been a little less than satisfactory… Sheila can't seem to find an emotional focus for her energies that's of positive emotional influence. So far, she's been able to use her anger, and actually made a completely revised version of the Hiryuu Shoten Ha, but still… It's anger… A Negative emotion… Ranma does NOT want her using that… So he's tried to help her to at least focus on more positive emotions… But she can't seem to muster confidence like Ranma and Britanny. This has made Ranma very curious… Why isn't she confident in herself and her abilities?
But hopefully, with time, Ranma will help Sheila learn to use her emotions to gather her ki… And then he can work on her using pure ki…
As for the Neko-Ken… It's getting there… Sheila still doesn't have the energy in her own personal ki reserves, or even the knowledge of ki control to perform even one of the moves from Ranma's Neko-Ken style… But with time and training… Ranma will possibly be able to teach her in a style that cost him so much… That possibly cost him his immortal soul…
(-)
As for Ranma, he has gotten used to the idea and actions of actually 'teaching' someone in martial arts. Heck, it's almost become second nature to him now. And that fact alone actually makes him feel better, more confident in himself…
For earlier on in life, when Ranma figured the only thing for he would be able to do with his life, (if one could call it that) was to marry Akane and take over the Tendo Dojo, he always wondered in the back of his mind if he would be at least a decent teacher, if he could even teach anyone what he knows… For he is a 'sponge' when it comes to martial arts. He can suck in ANY information, but… Can he squeeze that information out to give to others? But now that question is answered, and he can teach others… Ranma has been able to rest a little easier…
Also, ever since he started training a bit under Sheila with magical weapons usage, he's been able to get the hang of the magical katana 'Shadow Strike'. The katana has actually allowed him to do more magic… Magic of the shadow element…
It allows him to actually take all the light from an area making it like the look like night. It allows him to use shadows as a weapon; using shadows in offensive and defensive capabilities. And it has allowed him to travel through shadows; to go from one shadow to another shadow. Sheila tells him that is seems to be the lost spell "Shadow Jump", a form of a teleportation spell has been woven into the katana…
And Ranma has used the scroll given to him by Tsunami to learn the spell 'Presence Mask'; which allows him to actually hide his aura from others. And he has used Tsunami's advice, literally coupling the spell with the Invisibility spell to literally hide himself from others.
Ranma has also been pleasantly surprised to learn that he can still get the same effect by using the technique from the Umi Seiken style; Goshin Dai Ryu Sei Fu, or Body Defense Shooting Star Cloth instead of the Invisibility spell.
This has helped Ranma understand why Tsunami preferred to stay away from the title of Armsmaster… The fun one can have with the techniques of the shadows is very useful, almost addicting… And when the rules of Armsmaster call for a more open life… Well… That makes one hiding themselves a bit harder…
(-)
It is now dusk as the three have finished their training for the day. (And Ranma has gotten the werecats to stop fighting).
Ranma: Are you two done yet?
Britanny & Sheila: … Yes…
Ranma: Why are you two always fighting from time-to-time?
Britanny and Sheila blush.
Ranma: … Okay… Please stop fighting… I mean, for sparring it's okay, but you two aren't necessarily sparring…
Britanny: Okay Ranchan. I'll stop fighting with Sheila.
Sheila: And I promise to stop fighting with Brit.
Britanny & Sheila (Think): For now…
(-)
After the little 'talk' with Ranma, Britanny decides to be a good 'student' and get something for dinner. So she prepares for her most favorite pastime of all…
NO, NOT SHOPPING! FISHING!
Britanny unloads some fishing gear from her backpack to use in the nearby stream. Ranma stares wide-eyed.
Ranma: YOU HAVE FISHING GEAR!?
Britanny (Smiles): Yep!
Ranma: Where'd you get all this stuff Britchan?
Britanny: I brought it along with me. I thought I could do some fishing while I'm here. I am a master fisherwoman after all! And this will be great practice before I go after… (Narrows her eyes). Grr… 'Him'…
Ranma (Raises an eyebrow): Who's this 'Him'?
Britanny: Only the most evil, conniving, sinister tuna fish of them all! The devil-fish-spawn of Lucifer himself… SCARFACE!
Ranma (Stares): … "Scarface"?
Britanny (Nods her head): Yes… Scarface… Well Ranchan, I'm off to catch us some fresh food for dinner from the stream!
(-)
Sheila is on her knees as she works on trying to get a fire going. Usually this isn't a problem… However, there aren't any good pieces of wood around, (too damp) and it's hard as hell to get a fire started.
Sheila kneels down closer to the wood as she keeps striking a stone on a piece of flint. The sparks still won't cause the wood to catch fire.
Sheila (Eyes narrow): BURN YOU STUPID PIECES OF WOOD!
Sheila starts striking the piece of flint with the other rock at almost cheetah-like speed. Very impressive, considering she's a jagwere, NOT a werecheetah… But still, the wood will not burn…
Sheila: ARGH! I AM GONNA GIVE YOU SUCH A KAPOWIE!
Sheila summons her weapon Ice Fang; ready to start slicing the wood into tiny bits, when a voice interrupts her line of anger.
Ranma: Need help Shechan?
Sheila turns around. She smiles sheepishly, and puts her scimitar back into it's little pocket space.
Sheila: Yeah… I could… If it's not too much trouble, could you please help me with this Ranchan?
Ranma: Sure… Make it into another training session…
Sheila (Blinks): Huh?
Ranma gets onto his knees next to Sheila. He hold out his right hand for a few moments. He concentrates on gathering his internal energies, using the Etheral Stream to summon it forth from him. A small ball of raw ki appears in his hand's palm.
Ranma: Okay. You want to try Sheila?
Sheila: Huh? But I don't know how?
Ranma: Put your hands around it; but not too close since it could burn you. I just want you to get a 'feel' for the energy, what you should be looking for; what you should be trying to gain.
Sheila stares at the ball of raw ki with awe-widened eyes. After a few moments, she nods her head, and tentatively holds out her hands, holding them around the ball of ki in Ranma's palm. It sends a shiver up her spine as she feels the raw power coming off the ball… Yet… It feels 'familiar'… Almost as if she's always known this power… Always had this power…
Finally a few minutes go by of this. Sheila then looks at Ranma with a confused look.
Sheila: This is interesting Ranchan. And I know you want me to get a feeling for the energy… But… How's this going to help me?
Ranma (Smiles): A lot it seems… I stopped feeding that ball energy two minutes ago… It's your own energy that has kept the ball going.
Sheila (Wide-eyed): WHAT!?
Ranma removes his right hand away from Sheila's hands. The ball of raw ki stays floating in the air between Sheila's hands. She trembles slightly, and the ball of ki begins to fade.
Ranma: Don't be afraid Shechan! Just keep concentrating… That energy you're holding won't hurt you… It's your own…
Sheila starts to calm down, concentrating on keeping the ball there… After a few moments, the raw ki stabilizes, glowing brighter than it was originally. Sheila stares at it in awe.
Sheila: My power… It's my power… It's incredible…
Ranma (Smiles): Well Shechan, you want to get that fire doing now?
Sheila looks at Ranma, then at the pile of wood, then at the ball of ki, and then she goes back to looking at the wood. She smiles.
Sheila: Sweet…
Sheila places the ball of ki into the pile of wood. Soon, the wood starts to smoke, and catches fire. Sheila smiles triumphantly. She then turns back to Ranma.
Sheila: You can turn anything into training, can't you?
Ranma: Pretty much. My whole 'life' under that bastard Genma was training… But it did help in the long run… It's made me… 'Creative' in making everyday activities into martial arts training.
Ranma smiles triumphantly, and Sheila smiles back. She moves closer to Ranma.
Sheila: You know Ranchan… You really are a great teacher. Thank you.
Ranma: You're welcome Shechan.
Sheila: Now… How about training me in some other 'arts'? Hmm? Puuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
Ranma stares at Sheila, who is smiling at him. She can tell she's trying to be 'sexy', to give him a wry, seductive smile… But all it's coming across as is just plain cute on Sheila's petite, innocent face. It's the 'purring' that let's Ranma know what Sheila's intentions are.
Ranma (Thinks): Oh boy… Here she goes again…
Ranma then sighs. He looks at Sheila seriously.
Ranma: Shechan.
Sheila: Yes?
Ranma: You like me, don't you?
Sheila (Smiles): YES!
Ranma: Well, what about Tirga?
Sheila frowns. Then chuckles lightly.
Sheila: Yeah… True… I guess I should go 'easy' on you… After all, I got Tirga. And he's so nice to me!
Ranma (Smiles): Nice to know you have someone that cares for you.
Sheila: Yeah… Tirga may not be the 'best', but he's a good person… At least I think he honestly is…
Suddenly, a shadow looms over Ranma and Sheila.
Female voice: HELLO!
Ranma and Sheila turn around to see Britanny standing behind them. She is holding a large fisher's basket; filled to overflowing with all sorts of fish.
Britanny: If I'm not interrupting anything important, how about we get to cleaning and gutting these yummy fishies and then get to cooking and EATING!?
Ranma eyes widen in joy and he smiles.
Ranma: FOOD!
Sheila frowns. She was hoping to get in some 'quality time' with Ranma… Oh well… At least Britanny managed to get a decent amount of fish.
(-)
Ranma, Britanny, and Sheila sit around the fire, holding some fish skewered onto sticks above it, slowly cooking them.
Britanny begins chowing down into one of the fish that has finished cooking. She smiles happily as she bites into it.
Britanny (Mouthful): Yummy!
Ranma smiles at the innocence that Britanny has as she enjoys her food.
Ranma (Thinks): Britchan is so cute at times…
Sheila (looks at Ranma): Hey Ranchan.
Ranma: Yes?
Sheila: We are going to stop at Di'brev tomorrow, right? We need to get some more supplies…
Ranma (Raises an eyebrow): Well, can't have that. And besides, Tsunami suggested it as a good spot to make a 'pit-stop', before we head out.
Britanny: Sounds good to me.
After another half-hour eating all the fish, Ranma, Britanny, and Sheila set up their
(-)
It is now the afternoon. Ranma and crew have finally made it to the small village of Di'brev; a large trading post between Tessa and the rest of the East Continent. They stopped her to get supplies for their travels as originally planned, however, they are now also here to cash in a few criminals they caught along the way earlier this day. (Seems that bandits have a tendency to keep attacking them… Oh well… Means more reward money for them to buy food…)
Ranma: Isn't it odd how we keep getting attacked?
Britanny: Yeah… But those jerks got what they deserved, attacking us while we were trying to sleep. Hey Sheila, when did the crime rate get so bad? I thought the Edge Guard were to prevent stuff like this…
Sheila: Usually it's not this bad… Or at least… It's not reported…
Ranma (Raises an eyebrow): Oh? What do you mean?
Sheila: Well… To be honest… The Edge Guard groups are always set up around the cities of Jade… We keep getting attacked far from the cities and villages… Meaning…
Ranma (Interrupts): Meaning that criminals and bandits are now moving away from the cities; to get away from the watchful eyes of the Edge Guard…
Sheila (Nods her head): True… I'll have to report this to Onoli, and have him report it to the heads at Main Guard.
Ranma: "Main Guard"?
Sheila (Nods her head): Yeah. It's a city along the Southeastern coast of the East Continent. It's a city basically set up to monitor the accounts, and goings on of all the Edge Guard groups.
Ranma: Oh.
Britanny (Wide-eyed): HEY! Isn't that Gar over there?
Britanny points across the street, and Ranma and Sheila turn their heads. It is indeed Gar, finishing up his conversation with one of the merchants. Sheila runs over to him.
Sheila: HEY GAR!
Gar turns around and smiles upon seeing his little sister.
Gar: Sheila!
Gar catches his little sister in a hug as she runs into him. He then lets go and looks her in the eyes.
Gar: What are you doing here sis? I thought you were supposed to be training under Ranma?
Sheila: I am. We just stopped here to pick up supplies. Ranma and Britanny are over there. See?
Gar looks behind Sheila and sees Ranma and Britanny on the other side of the street. He waves to signal them to come over. Ranma shrugs his shoulders and walks over. Britanny follows.
Ranma: Hey Gar.
Britanny: Hi Gar!
Gar: Sheila tells me you've been training her.
Ranma: Yes. Pretty much.
Sheila: Hey Gar, what're you doing here in Di'brev?
Gar: I was sent with Tirga to check up on a case of roaming bandits called…
Ranma (Interrupts): The "Seismic Plainsmen"?
Gar (Stares at Ranma): Yeah… How did you know?
Britanny (Smiles): We beat them up this morning and took them to the Edge Guard base here. They even gave us a reward!
Gar (Smirks): Heh… That makes my job much easier… Oh well… I better get Tirga and get walking back home…
Sheila: Hey Gar. Where is my tiger-muffin at the moment? I haven't seen him in awhile.
Gar: Tirga said he was going to check out the tavern here, and ask shady characters and such about the whereabouts of the Seismic Plainsmen…
Sheila: GREAT! I'm wanna go check on the lug.
Sheila heads off towards the tavern at a slightly quick pace. Ranma, Britanny, and Gar look at each other and then start following Sheila.
(-)
Sheila walks into the Diamond Eagle Feather Tavern. The place is actually a very light-hearted atmosphere… With lots of candles to make it brightly lit. There is a lot of singing going on. The place is also filled with a diversity of races, all sorts of humans, elves, dwarves, and werecreatures.
Sheila blinks at the setting. Soon Ranma, Britanny, and Gar catch up to her and stare at the setting of the tavern as well.
Ranma (Blinks): So much for a 'seedy' place…
Britanny (Sarcastic): A real 'underbelly' of the criminal world…
Gar: Hey Sheila… Are you okay sis? You look ill…
Sheila just stands there. Shell-shocked by what she sees. Her boyfriend Tirga… Enjoying himself; a mug of ale in one hand, and six Kitsune sluts around him.
(Note: Kitsune in Jade, are two-tailed werefoxes).
Sheila's mind reels with confusion. She's had Tirga cheat on her before, but this is the last straw… Especially when she overhears one of the Kitsune ask about her and the Edge Guard.
Kitsune: Hey Tirga, aren't you supposed to be on a mission or something? We don't want to be wasting your time.
Tirga: You're not wasting my time Marie.
Kitsune: It's "Terri".
Tirga: Oh… Sorry…
Other Kitsune: Don't you also have a girlfriend? I mean, I don't mind being with you, but, I thought you were already taken Tirga.
Tirga (Laughs): Don't worry Jessica. I'm on 'patrol' in the area, looking for some criminals. So none of you should worry, as I also have Sheila wrapped around my pinky finger…
Other Kitsune: It's not Jessica… I'm "Monica".
Tirga: Uh… Okay.
Sheila is burning with rage at the moment, one that neither Ranma, Britanny, nor Gar want to try to calm… Sheila just walks up to Tirga, a murderous glare in her eyes, and an aura of red anger surrounding her…
Sheila: Oh Tirga…
Tirga (Turns his head): Huh? … (Eyes widen in fear as he sees Sheila). ACK! SHEILA! Uh… Hi! How're you doing? I thought you were acting as a body guard for Britanny and… What's his name… That pig-tailed boy…
Sheila (Glares): His name is Ranma… And Tirga, this is low… You've cheated on me before… With all sorts of women, be they werebeast, human, elf, or whatever you can get your grubby, cheating hands on. Tirga… We're through… Prepare to be kapowied! ICE BEAM!
With that Sheila summons her scimitar 'Ice Fang' and fires a spell of ice at Tirga, freezing him into place. Sheila wipes her eyes, and runs away from Tirga as the Kitsunes try to free Tirga from his icy prison. She pushes Ranma and Gar out of her way as she takes off running, tears falling from her eyes.
Ranma (Stares at Sheila's receding form): Shechan…
Gar turns towards the frozen Tirga, and begins to speak.
Gar: Ranma… I suggest you go get my sister… Britanny… I would like to have your assistance… Tirga needs as ass-whupping.
Britanny (Cracks her knuckles): No prob!
So Ranma takes off running, as we hear sounds of fighting in the backround.
(-)
It is an hour later, at the camp Ranma, Britanny, and Sheila had set up a mile outside the village. Ranma sighs in relief. He knew he'd find Sheila here. He figured that Sheila, went off to 'cool down'. Ranma sees her sitting on a rock, her head in her hands. He decides to ask Sheila about Tirga.
Ranma: Hey Shechan…
Sheila doesn't look towards Ranma. She just keeps her face in her hands.
Sheila: Go away…
Ranma: Come on Shechan… You could use someone to talk to.
Sheila: Just leave me alone!
Ranma: Come on Shechan… I'm sure you could use someone to talk to. I mean, you were kind enough to let me talk to you when I was feeling low that one time… I'm sure you could use a friendly ear to talk to…
Sheila removes her face from her hands and looks at Ranma. She has tear streaks going down her face and her eyes are red and puffy. She grabs onto Ranma tightly, crying into his chest. Ranma's heart goes out to the sad little jagwere… He strokes his hand through her hair, making soothing sounds to try to calm her.
(-)
After a few moments, Ranma gets Sheila to calm down finally. He gets her to start a conversation. Sheila talks about how Tirga was her boyfriend…
Ranma: So, how did you get to know Tirga.
Sheila: He knew me for years. He and Gar met a long time ago, when Tirga came to the East Continent on a trip. We later met up again when we were chosen to be on the same Edge Guard group.
Ranma: Okay… How long have you two been going out?
Sheila: I'm not sure… He's always been teasing me, and acting 'gallant' at times for years; but he never took her seriously back then, and he obviously doesn't know! He always cheats on me… SNIFF… But this time… He did it so blatantly, it's as if he didn't care…
Sheila then starts to cry again. Sheila realizes he doesn't care.
Ranma hugs Sheila, even though it feels strange to him to do so.
Ranma: It's okay Shechan… Don't worry… Tirga was a jerk… And there are plenty of other fish in the sea to choose from…
Sheila just shakes her head.
Sheila: No… I'll never get anyone. After all… I'm not attractive in anyone's eyes…
Ranma just blanches at that.
Ranma: If I may ask… Why don't you think you're attractive?
Sheila: Can't you see it Ranma? My hybrid form is smaller than most people because of a birth defect; that all my real 'power' is in my human form instead of my hybrid form…
Ranma (Blinks): What do you mean?
Sheila: Watch…
To prove her point Sheila takes on her human form. She concentrates her energies, shifting in form; improving in height, muscle mass and breast department. Ranma can see that Sheila's human form is drop-dead-gorgeous, with the flowing red hair, and dash of freckles on each cheek that seem to add a bit of 'cuteness' to her.
Ranma: Shechan…
Sheila: Sniff… Yes?
Ranma: Why do you think you look horrible? I think I can honestly say that you're gorgeous…
Sheila (Blushes): Thanks Ranma… But the Hybrid form is the 'true' form of werebeasts. And in the other's eyes, my hybrid form is just a child to the them, not something they'd want to go for… Except for Tirga… But then again, he goes for anything female…
Sheila begins to tremble in Ranma's arms again. This whole situation is funny to Ranma… Here he is, comforting a much larger woman… But then again… It's still his student… His friend… His Shechan…
Ranma: It's okay Shechan… You shouldn't feel so low… For what it's worth I think that you're very beautiful.
Sheila starts to cry a bit more and hugs onto Ranma even tighter, thanking him for his kind words.
Ranma can't believe he's doing this. He just chalks up his behavior to being around Britanny for so much… And that's why he also has a slight fear in the back of his mind. He cares for Britanny… More than he wants to admit… And then how he cares for Sheila seems to match it. This could be bad… He doesn't know which one he wants to be with if he should choose…
Ranma (Thinks): Okay… I know I care for Britchan… Kami-sama knows she's my dearest friend, and I've known her for years… But Shechan… She's so… Innocent… She's like me actually… Unsure of how to show her feelings… But I can't have them both… That would be something that pervert Kuno would do… Sigh… What to do, what to do…
Ranma continues thinking along those lines as he continues to hug Sheila. He decides after a few moments, to put it to the back of his mind for now, and think about it later. Right now his friend is in pain, and needs help. Ranma will be there for her, to comfort her when needed… After all she's his student… His friend…

End Chapter 21
Next Time: Ranma and crew finally go into the Seer's Desert. We also take a break from the Jade story-arc to check up on how everyone else is holding up back on earth, without a certain werecheetah and/or pig-tailed martial artist in their lives…
Author's Note: I've had people ask me about what type of mage Ranma is. Most keep saying I'm spelling "Rogue" incorrectly, that I am spelling it as "Rouge".
Well, to clear that up, I do mean "Rouge" as in, the French word for "Red". For you see, I believe Fred Perry had named that type of mage after the Red Mages from the Final Fantasy series; since Red Mages learn from both fields of magic. (White and Black).
I hope that clears it up.
