Ranma Sekirei – 2

The next morning, like normal, Ranma wakes up to the feeling of cold water hitting her face. It only takes her a few seconds to realise that she's not in the Koi pond. Instead, Genma has thrown a bucket of water over her face. The reason for this becomes apparent as he realises that someone is lying next to him.

Kusano opens her eyes and looks at Genma, "You're a poo head, why did you do that?"

In a panic, Ranma scrabbles away from Kusano and off the futon, only for Genma's foot to catch her under the chin and launch her into the Koi Pond. Unseen by Genma, Kusano starts to cry at the violence happening outside the window. Outside, on her way to the toilet, Akane stops at the exchange before opening the door and walking in to comfort Kusano.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Kusano points out of the window at Genma while she cries as Akane kneels down to hug the crying child. When she looks up, the fight has moved, and Kusano is now pointing at Ranma.

Meanwhile, on the lawn, Ranma and Genma are fighting like normal. This goes on for a few minutes until Ranma pushes a bit of chi, and something else, into a double handed strike. Genma doesn't have time to raise a block, dodge, or even redirect, before he's sent flying backwards with a collapsed sternum, and crashes through the boundary wall and the wall of the house on the other side of the street. Ranma just waits for him to stand up and attack, and she waits a few moments more. Finally, she lowers her guard and starts to walk over to where he went.

"Otousan, come on, I didn't hit you that hard."

As Ranma picks her way through the hole that Genma made, she sees him lying against a broken sink, cold water spraying all over the unconscious panda. After making sure that he's still breathing, she grabs a leg and trudges back to the Tendo's home.

Minka looks up from his seat as one of the operators pops up in a window on his computer, "Sir, we've just detected 109's signature."

"Tell me you know where she is."

"She's very close to 108 in Nermia sir, beyond that we don't know."

Minka smiles, "Excellent, send out a message to all the current Ashikabi's, include the profile information we have. It's a pity we don't have a photo. Tell them... Tell them that she's a special release, how's the rest of the schedule going?"

The operator nods, "Certainly sir, we are releasing numbers 72, 88, and 100 later today, that will leave another 30 to release over the next few months."

"Delay the release for a couple of days to give the others a chance to catch 109."

Attention: A one time special, a unique Sekirei has been released in Nermia. She can be identified by her striking hair and her ability with martial arts. Will you be the one to wing #109?

"Ashikabi, Sekirei, Ashikabi, Sekirei, Ashikabi, Sekirei..."

Ranma sits, sulking as Kusano pours hot and cold water over his head under the watchful eye of Kasumi. Genma is propped up against a wall, bandages wrapped tightly around his ribs.

It's into this scene that Akane stomps down the stairs into, "Pervert! how could you do that to a child!"

"What did I do?"

"Ranma no baka! Urk!" Kusano's eyes glow green and Kasumi's spider plant shoots out and wraps Akane up like a mummy, with her hands held over her head holding a mallet.
