Ranma Half Moon chapter 29, Makoto Expelled?
Author's note: This episode fits in with Sailor Moon episode 23, Naru's pure love for a monster.
Author's note: I now have a fiction press site for non-fanfiction stuff. If you want to check it out do a search for "resop" at the "fictionpress" website. My story is called "A Dream of Roses". It is about a group of blossoming young girls who are giving it their all for an opportunity to shine brightly as professional wrestlers in Japan.
Author's note: Mahou means magic.
Naru dips her feet into the pool's water. It's a good thing that the management keeps the water temperature in the pool high enough so that it doesn't trigger my transformation.
Usagi splashes water on Naru.
And it's a good thing that the water is warm enough to still not trigger a change even after being cooled by the summer air.
Naru and Usagi argue, and Naru tells Usagi about being in love with Mister Sanjoin. A pool ball hits Usagi hit in the head and Usagi sinks.
...
Akane gets ready to leave for school.
"Wait up, little sister."
Akane frowns. When Nabiki calls her "little sister" it usually meant a lecture was coming.
Akane and Nabiki walk to school.
"You know, with all of the boys in school in love with you, it seems a shame that we haven't found any way to use this to enrich the family budget."
"Didn't you take candid pictures of me and Ranma to sell? Is this going to be another one of your schemes?"
"No, no. All I am saying is that when guys offer you expensive gifts, you should accept them with a smile and thank them, so I can sell the gifts and put food on our plates."
Akane frowns. It really goes against my nature to do so, but family comes first. "Okay, I'll give it a try."
...
Nephrite and Zoisite argue in Nephrite's church. Nephrite tells Zoisite he will find the Silver Crystal before he does. Zoisite runs out in tears. Nephrite uses his astrology mahou (and a ton of energy that should have gone to Queen Beryl) to produce a Dark Crystal to lead him to the Silver Crystal. Reacting to the Jusenkyo transformation energy that flows through Naru, the Dark Crystal shows Nephrite Naru's picture.
...
Akane Tendo walks home from school.
"Wait, my fair maiden. It is I, Kuno Tatewaki, and I have finally found a gift worthy of a goddess such as yourself."
Oh, boy! Another opportunity to clobber Kuno. But I made a promise to Nabiki, rats. Akane forces a smile. "What do you got, Kuno-senpai?"
"Some rose earrings that I saw at the store."
Akane looks at them. They are cute, and didn't look expensive. Could Kuno be giving me a gift with his heart instead of his wallet behind it? "Why thank you, Kuno-senpai. I don't know if I can wear them, but Nabiki might like them."
Wow, Akane is sure acting strange. Kuno gets a sweat mark by his head and uncharacteristically laughs. "Well, to tell the truth, I originally got them for Kodachi, but she already had a pair like them."
Akane laughs and punches Kuno in the shoulder, accidentally dropping him. "Thanks Kuno-senpai, I'll see if I can put these to good use."
Kuno groans from the ground. "You're welcome."
...
"You wanted to see me?" Makoto is always nervous in front of the principal.
"Miss Kinnnnnnnnnnno. I am putting you on notice. If you get into one more fight, you will no longer be allowed to come to this Junior High School."
"I understand, sir."
"Good, we can't have this school be reduced to a lawless place."
Mio Kuroki listens in from just outside the door and snickers.
...
Ranma-ko and Minako play twister on side-by-side boards, with Artemis calling out the moves.
"Left hand red!"
Minako tips over, and then slaps the pad in frustration.
Ranma-ko scratches her head. "Minako, what's wrong"
"There's been a pervert that has been stealing my bras from the balcony, and I haven't been able to catch him."
A sly grin momentarily flashes on Ranma-ko's face. "I don't think that it's a coincidence that you started fighting the dark kingdom and then your bras started disappearing. This sounds like a psychological attack to weaken you."
Artemis nods his head. "I agree. We can't rule this theory out."
"I say we rig up a video camera and catch the Yoma Monster in the act. Then we can use Dual Idol Star Projection to destroy him."
Minako raises an eyebrow. "What if it's not a Yoma Monster? What if it's just a human?"
Artemis pauses to think. "I don't think that type of Sailor Attack should hurt humans."
Minako smiles. "Then let's do this!"
Ranma-ko snickers. Let's see if you're really a human, old man.
...
Nephrite convinces Naru to steal a silver crystal from her mother's vault for him. The crystal is just an ordinary one, but the Dark Crystal reacts to Naru's Jusenkyo transformation energy again. Nephrite tries to lead Naru off, but the Sailor Warriors confronted him. Nephrite and the Sailor Warriors battle with mahou, and Naru makes a save to keep Sailor Moon from killing Nephrite with her magic tiara attack.
Naru confesses her love for Nephrite and says that the Sailor Warriors have to kill her first.
The Dark Crystal again responds to Naru, which attracts the attention of one of Zoisite's Noh demons who attacks Naru. Nephrite uses his astrology mahou to injure the Noh demon, splitting its Noh mask in two. The demon attacks Nephrite but Sailor Moon kills it with her magic tiara attack.
...
The principal parks in the school parking lot. He stretches outside his car to greet the warm morning sunlight.
From behind a tree Mio Kuroki sees Makoto entering the school gates, not twenty feet from the principal. "Chance."
Makoto's eyes grow wide as she sees a Yoma Monster rise from the ground behind the principal. "Look out!"
The Yoma Monster grabs the principal.
Makoto runs up and attacks the monster, successfully throwing the Yoma Monster to the ground.
Mio snaps her fingers, and the monster disappears.
"Miss Kiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooo! What did I say about fighting?"
"But, but, there's no one here!"
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to stand firm on this. You are now expelled from this school. However, since you did save my life, I will be happy to write you a note so that you can get into another school."
All color drains from Makoto's face. "Yes, sir."
Mio pouts. She gets to go to another school? No fair! She should have rotted in the gutter as a street punk. Mio stomps off.
Next up: Makoto's good bye
