Thread: Anything Goes Ninjutsu (Moon Struck Fox and Myself)

Ow, whadja do that for? Ranma shouted in response to the smack on the back of the head, followed by barely audible mumbles about violent girls who didn't listen. He had been making fun of the girl in the story. Airen was Chinese for husband after all. Kakashi simply took advantage of the distraction the two kids' antics caused to continue reading. The doctor's visit managed to wash the entire meeting from his mind. During the entire visit, he couldn't take his eyes off the medics hands, especially when they were glowing. He focused his senses, probing the green energy it felt light and calm, soothing. It was like what he imagined having a mother there to read him a bedtime story when he was a kid would have felt like. His mind was already racing, trying to figure out way to replicate it, but there was a problem. He didn't really have a whole lot of experience with those kinds of emotions. With the kind of focus the technique obviously required, that would put him at a disadvantage. Still, he'd get it eventually. After all, Ranma Saotome doesn't lose. The little food stand they ate at had Ranma grinning. The staff gave him a dubious look at the outrageous size of the order, but the sight of his companions hitai-ite kept them from questioning it. Ninja tended to eat larger portions while they were training, but even for a ninja it was a bit much. When the food arrived, however, all doubts were laid to rest. The young man was a human garbage disposal. Not only did he inhale his own food but, several times, his chopsticks darted out to snatch bites of Kin's as well. All the while, he guarded his own food expertly, using those same chopsticks to nimbly block or trap his eating companion's when she tried to retaliate in kind. The staff had mixed feelings about the display. On the one hand, the boy had horrible manners. On the other, it had been damned impressive, entertaining even. Ah, that was good, he proclaimed as they left, a smug grin on his face. As she was leading them to her house, he spied a fence along the road. As was his custom, he leapt atop it, strolling along as easily as if her were walking on the ground despite the narrow footing, until it ended and he was forced to rejoin Kin on the road. When they reached her house, he let out an appreciative whistle. Nice place, he complimented simply. It was about the size of the Tendos' place where he had been staying at before but it was more modern. He even noted, after she showed him around and directed him to the bathroom, that it had better plumbing. Sweet! A shower! He shouted happily. He wouldnt have to use a bucket of cold water to wash up or heat up a furo. He quickly got undressed and turned on said shower, sticking his hand in to test the temperature. Unfortunately, it hadn't had time to warm up yet. C-cold! he exclaimed in surprise, his voice sounding much different as his body instantly began to change. It only took a split second. Where Ranma had been standing before was now a short, curvy redheaded girl. Other than the height, difference and the hair color though, they looked surprisingly alike. Their facial features were similar, they had little scars in all the same places, even their hair was styled the same way. Well, so much for stayin' a guy, she deadpanned to no one in particular.
