"Engaged, Akane? I thought you hated men!"

"It's not my choice, and I still do!" She immediately turned and dropped a boy who had opened his mouth to speak with a harsh glare alone. "It's just something really complicated!"

Sayuri spoke up. "Try us."

"Our stupid Fathers arranged for it, neither one of us want to get married–." Ranma was going for the window. "Ranma, don't jump out that window!"

Ranma looked back with a smile. "Please a fall like this is no…OH SHIT!"

Akane reached the window just as Kuno jumped out after Ranma, and Ranma realized that the pool was arranged perfectly underneath their fall. Stopping with her hand against the sill, she shook her head as both hit it with a large splash. Perhaps she should've taken the time to warn him about the school's various (and oddly frequent) sources of water that served as a hydrophobia victim's nightmare and a plumber's wet dream. Both were in the drink now, one figuratively in addition to literally, but who knew, maybe there was some good to come of this. Maybe Kuno would drown.

Or not, there they went, Kuno trying to grab Ranma and dunk her under the water. Because their backs were to them, Akane could only imagine the look on Kuno's face that coincided with the way he just froze, when he found two things that should not be there. Ranma's face was probably all the more priceless, given how immediately after; she lifted him out of the water and slammed him into poolside with enough force to crack the concrete. Alright, time to go get some hot water while the action was momentarily over.
