It was already strange for him to have someone approach and be worried about his fighting. Ranma never really worried how he looked to others, especially when he was in combat. Now suddenly this person was worried and apologetic. This day has been interesting, to say the least.
❝ I know it seems strange but, it's been this way my whole life. Though I will say, ever since I came back to Japan... it's like every other person has it out for me. I'm just trying to defend myself. ❞ He says with a shrug. Ranma wouldn't turn down a fight, but he would also prefer if he didn't have watch over his shoulder every second.
❝ You don't need to be sorry. ❞ He began scratching the back of his head, and expression of the awkwardness he felt now. ❝ I'm guess you're not around here often if that was so abnormal to you. Can I ask.. have you ever done any fighting. ❞
Maybe it was good thing she didn't really leave her bubble most of the time; her place of residence since the outside world could be UNPREDICTABLE. She was only in town to visit her uncle since her relationship with other family members outside of her mother was SPARCE. The scout figured that this part of town was going to be normal. FAR FROM IT.
However, Ami managed to REEL herself back in since, truth be told, she was indeed yelling at a stranger & that was UNLIKE HER. Slight embarrassment began to set in & threated to creep up & present itself on her person. She cleared her thoat. ❝ I fail to see how this is NORMAL . Martial arts , yes , but to do it in such a fashion where people can get hurt . . . ❞ Ami let it go. This was not her business & all of this did catch her OFF GUARD.
In order to mend the bridge, she gave a bow to the young man. ❝ I will take your word for it . I'm sorry for YELLING at you . Just please . . . if you can HELP IT , just be careful . ❞ Sure---like this STRANGER would listen but, it didn't hurt to extend the branch.
Ranma was quite shocked that he was being called out by a stranger, though it's not the first time he's been yelled at like this. ❝ Whoa, relax. ❞ She seemed really upset and he wondered why. Perhaps it's her first time being around here. It didn't matter much to him, he just wanted to leave and stop being yelled at.
❝You're sure yelling at me like Akane would. ❞ Ranma sighed. ❝ Listen, I don't know if you're new here but, this type of thing happens all the time. Plus, it ain't my fault there were explosives. People challenge me left and right and I have to deal with it. ❞ He shrugged and stretched out his arms.
❝ I'm a martial artist. It's what I do. What we all do. If you're done complaining, I gotta get going. ❞
She couldn't help the fact that the LOUD SHOUTS from the gathered crowd drew her attention as well. As much as Ami would like to better in some aspects, she was still a NOSY TEEN & there was no fighting that. In fact, she though it was possibly just a traveling act? Something SIMPLE & FUN. Not a fight that had with it added EXLPOSIVES. The fact that the crowd wasn't stopping this was already alarming & the boy who DANCED around like it was just another day was jarring to watch.
But it finally stopped & the shock of what she just witness did not subside. The look of WORRY mixed a bit of AGITATION was plastered all over her face. Ami found herself slightly stomping over to the other. ❝ Just what were you doing ? ! You could have gotten yourself & others HURT ! ❞ Ami didn't even ACKNOWLEDGE the name he called her. ❝ This was unacceptable ! Having a fight in the middle of the street ! Have you no manners ? ! ❞

There was an uproar from the crowd that watched the brawl. It was another annoying student that was pinning after Akane and had a vendetta against Ranma. So of course Ranma had to teach him a lesson. The battle didn't last long, but he was a bit explosive. No, really, the other brought some sort of dynamite weapon and Ranma almost got caught up in it quite a few times.
Ranma survived with only a few scrapes and tears in his shirt. And it wasn't surprise that he won, Ranma thanked the crowd and was about to be on his way. ❝ Huh? ❞ He gave a quick turn around at the strangers comment. For a moment he pondered it, but gave a smirk in response. ❝ That was nothing... trust me I... wait a minute. ❞ Ranma rapidly blinked when reexamine the stranger. ❝ Akane? ❞
