Prologue
It was the time of the Silver Millennium kingdom and all were happy and rejoicing. The average life span of a person was in the hundreds with the help of Queen Serenity's crystal and there were no illnesses and it was really an ideal and perfect time. Everyone was happy… except for God and Demon kind alike. It was bloody damn boring and Lucian, the big evil himself, was on his very own rampage while Kami- sama, the head good guy, had a major headache.
Yes, disaster could be seen heading towards this seemingly ideal world. The people had a supposedly perfect life and had rejected all evil, as well as the negative energy. The one scout that uses that energy, Sailor Saturn, was shunned and reviled. The rejected the dark energy, thinking they had created the perfect paradise, as they ignored their own darkness of hate, prejudice, and petty jealousy that will eventually rip them apart from within. But that is another story and not the one focused upon for now…
Another Dimension Lucian glared down at that lovey dovey white empire and grumbled to himself. That was what he was doing until his beloved Goddess wife whapped him upside his head. He glared at her, "What was that for?"
She was all unconcerned and smiled at her hubby. "You were looking angry again dear and this is a bit of a vacation so stop it." He sighed and with a last look at those twits below him, he turned back to the table and its occupants who were his wife, the Goddess Laurell, Kami-sama, and Kami-sama's wife, the Goddess Myra.
"They piss me off big time." He declared. Kami-sama nodded. Those people have been making extra paper work for him, what with their quest for more power and displacing the poor elementals and spirits. People in the solar system were heading towards the opposite extremes and that was always bad.
As the adults talked, their kids played. There was Kami-sama and Myra's children, the 10-year-old looking Goddess Belldandy, the 9- year-old looking Goddess Urd, the 5-year-old looking God Ranma, and the 3-year-old looking Skuld. They were playing with Lucian and Laurell's child, the 5-year-old looking God/Demon Ryoga. The adults wanted the children to play together as much as possible, especially Ranma and Ryoga. They were soul mates and the adults were so happy about the union. Soul mates were very rare indeed and the wives were happy that they knew their children would be happy…and they wouldn't have boring lives. That's what Laurell always worried about since she was the Goddess of Chance and Strange Events and that was why she didn't really like those weird people. They tried their best to minimize surprises and coincidental events… the bad ones especially.
Urd looked over at her parents and noticed they were occupied. She was always wondering what all that stuff `bout the mortal realm was all about. They weren't allowed to go down except on Earth. How boring was that? She wanted to check out what all the talk `bout the moon palace was all about. Well she was going and they can't stop her.
The little silver blue haired boy saw his big sister going somewhere and he wanted to go too. He didn't know where she was going. He just wanted to be included on the fun and snuck after her. Ryoga saw Ranma going off and decided to follow, wanting to make sure no one bugged him, Skuld followed cuz they were all going off somewhere, and Belldandy went along to make sure they don't get hurt. So it was that the four most powerful beings misplaced their children.
* * * *
"I was sure that would have worked." The Queen said after the fourth failure in creating the Time Gate. This will be given to Sailor Pluto and hopefully with its power, Sailor Saturn would be checked. Luna walked up to the Queen.
"Your Majesty. You're working too hard. Is a Time Gate really necessary?" Luna had to inquire.
"You have seen Saturn. The Ambassadors that Nemesis sent greeted her almost as kin. They must not be allowed to win and if this means that a weapon must be made to stop her then it shall be done."
"I understand Your Majesty." The cat bowed to her Queen. Sailor Pluto entered the room and bowed.
"Majesty, four time rifts were sensed within the palace." Serenity narrowed her eyes.
"Let's do this then."
* * * *
"Urd-neechan." Ranma wined, tugging at her shirt. "Why're we here? It's boring!"
"SHHHHHHH." Urd hissed. They were hidden in the shadows between huge pillars. "We're not supposed to be here."
Skuld glared up at Urd. "You get us in trouble! Bad Urd!" and was shushed again by Urd.
"Kid, you wanna get us caught?" It was at that moment that Queen Serenity began her work of creating a Time Gate once more, drawing on the power of the rifts that have so thoughtfully appeared in the palace…the rift that were in fact the four children who where the Goddesses of the Past, Present, Future, and the God of Time. If they were older then it would not have worked but they were nothing more then little baby godlings. A tingling burning pain made itself known in the chest of the little God of Time. Whimpering he clenched at his chest as Ryoga grabbed him to stop his fall.
This was really scaring the three Goddesses who were also starting to feel the same pain and they all collapsed. The pain started to get intense and the power flow started. Queen Serenity hung on for dear life as the energy of the four Gods of time coursed through her. More power then she had ever felt in her entire life slammed through her body as the Gods themselves started to scream.
Ryoga watched, helpless, as Ranma and his sisters started to scream and an energy field appeared around them, pushing him away. The palace guards, alerted by the screaming, came running but seeing the scene of children, stood around, not knowing what to do.
A squeaky growl escaped Ryoga's lips. NO ONE TAKES AWAY HIS RANMA!!! His eyes started to glow red as his demonic self came to the fore. He was the God of Protection damn it and he could break this shield. Hand pulsing with reddish energy, he touched the purpled shield surrounding the other godlings, pain ripped through him, and started to add his screams to theirs as well. All this happened in a few seconds and that was enough for their parents to lock in on them and appear in the palace, appalled at the event-taking place.
The guys were all for blowing the whole place up, but their wives stopped them. Instead they glowered as Myra stopped what the foolish Queen was doing with a thought, they gathered up the unconscious bodies of their children, and went through a portal to make sure the children were all right. Revenge could come later.
Queen Serenity collapsed as the energy was taken away. It was done though. The Time Gate was created and that with the talismans… they were all safe.
Chapter 1
The long silver blue haired boy waited, tapping his foot with a scowl on his face. Residences of the little Chinese village avoided the weird looking foreigner and boy was he weird looking to them. His hair, if left untied, reached his knees normally but was tied in a ponytail with a small loop at the end to make his hair waist length. He had markings on his face, two on either cheeks and one in the center of his forehead in the shape of tears or raindrops. The 16 year old had on loose white clothing with dark blue trim and the one he was waiting for finally arrived.
From the very air itself another 16-year-old looking boy appeared. This one had dark hair that was held back from his face by a silver bandana. He had the elongated oval markings on the same locations on his face and fangs flashed as he gave his companion a sheepish smile. His clothing was a pale yellow with silver trim.
"Umm…Hee hee…were you waiting long Ranma?"
"Why were you so late? If I didn't know better I'd think you were lost!" Ranma looked expectantly at Ryoga. Since he was the God of the Guide and Protection, Ryoga couldn't have gotten lost…of course they were still young and Ryoga did get a new focus.
"I'm sorry Ranma but it's just that every damn place has air!" Ranma glared at him so more, making Ryoga sweat, then smiled and forgave him with a kiss. When the kiss ended they both had rather goofy grins on their faces and they went off to eat before they get interrupted by well meaning friends and snoopy family members.
The villagers stared at the retreating boys as a comment floated back to them. "Ya know Ryoga, my focus is light but you don't see me loosing it." It was said in Japanese though so they had no idea what was said. Some of them had not even noticed that Ranma was a boy and instead mistaken him for a rather unshapely, if very pretty, girl.
* * * *
Kimiko Tendo sat down on her bed, knowing she didn't have much more time in this life. She wished she could get better so she could watch her daughters grow, especially her youngest who was worrying her with the `I hate boys' sentiment.
She felt too ill to cook tonight, might as well call for take out. "Hello, you've reached the Goddess hotline. A representative will be with you in a moment." And she was put on hold. Thinking that she was hallucinating, Kimiko decided to hell with food, the family could call a restaurant themselves.
"Hello." A perky voice sounded behind Kimiko and a bouncy young girl stepped out of the mirror. "I'm from the Goddess hotline and you are entitled to one wish so think carefully!" This didn't particularly faze Kimiko. She had decided that this was all one giant hallucination.
"Well," Kimiko said without thinking, "if I get a wish then I wish my youngest daughter would get a interesting, handsome, and challenging fiancée so that she could outgrow her hatred of boys." The symbols on the young girls face glowed brightly and with a smile she said, "Wish granted." And disappeared.
Normally a wish such as that would just need a little twist here and there and since her husband and his friend were such idiots, it wouldn't be a big problem but at the time that Kimiko's wish was being processed by the Yaggradsil system, a bug decided to make a little meal in that area. It bit down and the wish was mutated.
* * * *
Ryoga watched in horror as his Ranma faded away before his very eyes and he was helpless to stop what was going on. Try as he might, nothing worked to keep him from vanishing.
Staring around at the perfect surroundings, an aura of red glowed around him and with a howl he blew the clearing apart with a blast of raw energy.
Chapter 2
The two lovebird finally broke off their kiss, looking at each other shyly, seeing the changes in each other. Ranma’s hair once again reached his waist in length and a calm seem to radiate from him. Ryoga was no longer depressed and the confused and clueless air was gone. One of his responsibilities was the God of Guide and as so he has impeccable directional sense.
The past 13 years had taught a lot to Ryoga. After spending that amount of time forced to hate the one he loves, he didn’t want to spend a minute apart again. “Ranma.” He said, still shy but making a big effort. “Do you want to go out tonight?”
Ranma looked at the ground and blushed. “I’d love to, although you know that my sister’s will show up soon.”
“We’ll take them with us. There’s a carnival in town and I’m sure we’ll have a good time.” Ranma smiled. Ryo-chan was always so thoughtful. They went inside so that Ranma could fix his hair.
The family sat at the table. Nodoka, who has not eaten any of Akane’s cooking yet, was sure that it would taste wonderful while everyone else dreaded the experience. She was also happy that her manly son was rid of the curse. Genma was mad, thinking about the ungrateful boy who wouldn’t share the cure with him. Nabiki was watching in her mind her profit margin fall, and was also wondering how both Ranma and Ryoga did it. They were hiding something and she will find out.
Akane glared around. Stupid baka! I cook this meal and he couldn’t even show up in time. She fumed. They waited for Ranma to appear when there was a knock at the door.
Kasumi answered the door and was surprised to see the four strangers standing there, three pretty girls and a boy. “Hello. Is Ranma here?” asked the one with white hair.
Kasumi smiled. “Yes he is. We were just waiting for him and Ryoga to come back so we could eat.”
“Belldandy.” Keiichi whispered. “Are you sure you should have packed up so much food.” Skuld glared at him.
“Excuse me miss. Is Akane the one who was cooking?” They had watched Ranma’s life and were sure that if Kasumi had cooked then they would have started without their brother.
“Why yes. Do you know each other?”
“Oh we know Ranma.” Urd said.
“Well please come in.”
The others stared at the strangers Kasumi led in. “They know Ranma.” Was all Kasumi said. Akane glared, sure the girls were other fiancées of the perverts and Nabiki again saw dollar signs in her imagination. Soun was sure that Ranma was cheating on his little girl, and Nodoka was think what a manly man her son was to have so many girls after him.
When the girls saw Ranma come down, their was a scream of “Oniichan” from the little girl and the other two screamed “Otouto” as they all ran up and glomped onto him. Akane saw red. That pervert! She materialized her hammer and ran up to them with a scream of “RANMA NO BAKA!” but the hammer never stuck its intended victim. It was caught in the grip of Ryoga.
“Stop hitting Ranma.” He said sternly. Everyone gasped. Ryoga never raised a hand against Akane. Skuld glared at the ugly violent girl.
“You leave my big brother alone!” Akane felt like she was hit with a giant fist and everyone stared again as the words ‘Idiot’ and ‘Stupid’ appeared all over her face and dress. Ranma was impressed.
“Wow Skuld. The last time I saw you do that you could only do one word on a person’s forehead. You certainly aint no kid not more but you’ll stay my kiddo right?” Skuld agreed. The two of them were the only ones she allows to call her kiddo.
“Ranma! Why didn’t you protect your fiancée?” Soun yelled.
Ranma looked at them. “She’s not my fiancée and I’m not gonna marry her. Ever. In fact I’m not gonna marry any of the girls.”
“Son!” Genma shouted. “You have to marry Akane and unite the two schools! Our honor demands it.”
“That’s right Son.” Nodoka said. “You have to marry and give me grandchildren.”
The three Goddesses saw red. Belldandy was the one who snarled, “Ranma is not your son. That idiot there sold your son away. Ranma was kidnapped from us when he was five. There are no engagements, no suicide pact,” she glared at the people before her, “no anything! In fact our Mother will arrive in a few days and we will stay here for the duration.” She glared at Nabiki who was opening her mouth, obviously going to ask for payment, “There will be no payment of rent. You will instead pay us for the emotional trauma and the detectives we employed to find our Ranma. You are in our dept Nabiki Tendo.”
“Ranma!” Nodoka cried. “This isn’t true! I’m your mother!”
Ranma looked at her sadly. “No you’re not my mother. Genma kidnapped me when I was five and I’ve made contact with my real family a few weeks ago.” It was a small fib but oh well. If he knew his family then they were not amused by the way he was treated in this household. Everyone glared at Genma who was shrinking away.
Everyone yelled “Genma!”
“It’s true but I did care for him so he still has to marry Akane!” He said stupidly.
The five Gods and Keiichi ignored them and decided to eat Belldandy’s delicious cooking.
I don’t care. Thought Akane. Ranma’s gotta be lying. She thought, forgetting that Genma had confirmed it.
Everyone and a badly bandaged Genma started to eat Akane’s cooking, grimacing at the taste, almost dying. Genma stared longingly at the delicious food that was spread on the floor a few feet away from him. He wouldn’t mind if I just took some food. After all, I did raise him. Before he could get a foot close to Ranma and his food, Ryoga lashed out and Genma crashed through the wall. They stared at Ryoga, finally noticing that the two boys were somehow different from before, especially Ranma’s hair, startled by the fact that they weren’t arguing and that Ryoga protected Ranma.
“Thanks Ryo-chan.” Ranma said brightly.
“No prob Ranchan.” Ryoga said.
Ranma looked at his sisters, [Bell-neechan. Are we going home soon? I wanna get outa here.]
[No Ranchan.] Belldandy replied silently. [Mom wants to play with them a bit.]
[Yup.] Said Skuld. [It was cool how you added the part were you had contacted us only a few weeks ago. Fast thinking ‘niichan.]
[Yup.] Said Urd. [Don’t worry ‘bout nothing Rammie. We’ll all be staying in the same room together too! We just got you back and you two aren’t leaving our sight!] she glanced over at Ryoga. [So Ryoga, have ya confessed your love yet or what?] Ranma and Ryoga blushed. [You did! Way to go!]
The others stared at the way the other table was so quiet and the sudden blushing of the two boys…Keiichi didn’t wonder. He was use to strange things.
Chapter 3
In her room, Akane fumed, knowing that baka was lying and up to something…
Nabiki grabbed her camera, knowing Ranma was up to something and is gonna catch him in the act then…
Genma, relegated to the dojo, and shivered, being without a blanket. Wondering how that ungrateful boy of his knew the truth and thinking up ways to make this work to his advantage. No woman would hurt a helpless panda right? He’s gonna get the cure outa that boy…
Nodoka was stunned. Her manly son wasn’t hers. Her eyes narrowed. Well, Genma better find their son then if he knows what’s good for him…
And why do the Tendo girls think that Ranma was up to something and why are they tip toeing there way to his door?
Earlier:
“You Pervert!” was the yell from Akane, going after Ranma with her mallet again. Skuld had enough and took out her debugger mallet and slammed Akane into the wall. The rest stared at the group of Gods and Keiichi in disbelief. All were wondering the same thing. Why didn’t Ranma or Ryoga protect Akane? Soun immediately released the demon head.
“Ranma! Why didn’t you protected your fian oomph!” he didn’t get to finish Urd threw a lightening bolt at him and released her own version of the demon head.
“He’s not engaged to your rock head of a daughter! My little brother aint engaged to anyone you freak! For that your precious daughters, except for your eldest who will leave you, will never find love no matter how hard they try!” Doom was felt though they didn’t know it; the proclamation of a Goddess of Love about love was something to be feared. Especially if that Goddess was Urd who hindered more then helped but hey, she does great love curses on morals. They were cowed. Akane had an icepack on her head and her back hurt as she looked at the two guys.
Grrrr. Akane wasn’t going to let Ranma get away with this. “You can’t all sleep in the same room with that pervert!”
On Asgard, In Kami-sama’s office:
“Oh honey!” Myra said as she came into the room. “How fast can you go on a vacation?”
Kami-sama looked at his wife, already knowing why. “In 2 days. I’ll get started.” They smiled at each other.
Myra suddenly looked startled and started to glow. “That…grrrrr. When I get my hands on that bubble headed girl.” The said people at the Tendo Dojo would have ran screaming in horror from the looks on both Myra and Kami-sama’s face.
“Myra, the one Genma lost is in Kyoto. We’ll take him to Nodoka.”
“Perfect.”
Back at the Tendo Dojo:
“What do you mean pervert?” Belldandy asked, a nice peaceful expression on her face.
“He has all these girls drooling for him, lots of fiancées, and he’s just a pervert!”
“Well,” Urd smirked, “it seems that someone is jealous! What’s the matter? You want the girls for yourself?” Everyone froze as they got her meaning while her family, Ryoga, and Keiichi acted as if everything were normal. Akane sputtered.
“What do you mean?!”
“Well your always hitting my brother, getting mad at him for no apparent reason then cuz girls are going gaga over him, and from what he says your always saying that you hate boys. Classic case of denying your lesbianism.” Akane turned purple and started to sputter. She was ignored. “Besides you pervert.” Urd continued. “What’s he gonna do to us? You got some perverted thought ‘bout an orgy or something? I don’t know ‘bout you and that sister of yours.” She points at Nabiki. “But we’re not into that. I mean with my baby brother? Ewwwww.”
End Flashback
As others in the Tendo Dojo Skuld, Urd, Ranma, and Ryoga created another magical door in Ranma’s (and formerly Genma’s) room. In it they separated it into separate sections. There is a lab, a place for making mechanical toys, laptops, spell books, a wardrobe, and other stuff. To keep the nosy people out it’s keyed to open only to them and Keiichi. No one else can enter.
They were all yawning when they were through. “Hey!” Keiichi said as he looked into the new room. “How’d you get my motorcycle here?”
“Duh Keiichi! How else?” Urd asked and Keiichi blushed at the comment.
“We thought you’d like to work on it since we’re gonna be here for a while.” Ranma explained. The late hour and exertion exhausted them and Belldandy called bedtime when they all yawned.
They all got into pajamas (complements of their wardrobe) and got into their bedrolls. Ranma ended up in the middle of the group, as if to make sure he stayed put and to assure them that he had came back even in sleep. The bedrolls where placed so they created a huge bed, except for Keiichi because Skuld was glaring at him. They all had nice thick blankets, Belldandy’s wards were set, and went to sleep.
The two girls both tip toed to the door, having met up somewhere along the way by surprise. Nabiki was holding a camera while Akane was holding her mallet, both ever at the ready.
They opened the door, sure that they’re barging in on Ranma taking advantage of the girls and stared. Mainly at Ranma. The rest of the changes had occurred. His hair had changed to the color it was before the wish was granted and was silvery blue. Even his eyelashes and eyebrows had a silver blue cast. It was amazing how that change, added to mid thigh length it had become, made it very obvious that this Ranma was in no way related to either Saotome. It had always appeared to be waist length because it was tied in a loop.
Each sister took in the change with different thoughts going through their head. Nabiki was thinking of how much she’d make selling that hair. This was Ranma and she was sure he didn’t want the long hair and she began planning for a way for her to accidentally snip a bunch off. Akane thought that Ranma was a jerk for dieing his hair and he just wanted to make himself exotic looking for the women. She smashed her hammer downward; aiming at Ranma’s head when a light flared and Akane was flying threw the door and smashed into the opposite wall. Nabiki’s camera smoked and died and she decided not to bother these people at night. She’s gonna put up the info on her website, sure that she’s going to make top dollars. The Gods and Keiichi slept on.
Nabiki went to sleep with dollar signs dancing in her head, not knowing that Ranma had earlier put a virus in her computer, knowing she was going to try something.
Chapter 3
Ryoga wipe the moist towel across Ranma's forehead and face, watching as his hair returned to its normal knee length silver blue and his symbols appear again on his face. I have my Ranma back. The wonder was almost palatable in his thoughts. He just watched him sleep, looking so innocent, and happy knowing that the dreaded wish was over. 17years of forced separation has finally ended.
Ranma groggily woke to the sensation of someone wiping at his face. "What hit me?" he mumbled still a bit out of it. His eyes closed again as an odd throbbing was felt in his mind. It escalated until it felt like something had burst within his brain and he was suddenly drowning in memories.
The next moment Ranma opened his eyes he was no longer Ranma Soatome but Ranma, God of Time and Healing with full excess to the memories of Ranma Soatome. The blurry figure above him resolved itself into a concerned Ryoga. "Where are we Ryoga?" He asked, looking around the heavily forested area.
Ryoga smiled, happy that Ranma was awake and that there was no lasting damage done to him. "Oh, some place I found when I was 'lost'." Ryoga waited. Now was the moment of truth.
"At least you didn't go to that place with the dragons again. While I'm glad you brought me those ear rings, you were gone for 4 months." Ranma glared at him as he remembered that. Ryoga just beamed and hugged Ranma.
"Your really you again."
"And who would I be Ryo-chan?" Ranma teased. Ryoga, happy to have Ranma back again, gathered him into his arms and kissed him. When the kiss ended they just smiled and looked into each other's eyes. Then Ranma took a good look at him. "Ryoga, why do you still have that hair style. Didn't you say you were gonna take the bandana off?"
Ryoga smiled sheepishly. "Yeah but then you disappeared and I was too about you to be worried 'bout the way my hair and stuff looked. But now that your back…" Ryoga took off the bandana that had a spell on it to keep his hair from returning to its original length. Once taken off, the spell was released. His hair grew until his hair reached below his shoulders. Ryoga took out a normal strip of cloth and tied his hair into a ponytail.
Ranma smiled as more of his memories started returning. He couldn't believe that he refused to hit girls, was so sexist, and taught that girls were weak. His mom and dad always taught him that he should defend himself and even if it was a girl, never let 'em abuse you in any way. The soul was without a distinction for sex and a girl could have the soul of a bloodthirsty killer.
Then he hit upon a memory that made his eyes flash and a growl to escape his throat. "Ryoga…you slept with that psycho girl?" Boy, for a God, Ranma's eyes were doing a good impression of demonic rage.
"No Ranma…nothing happened. I was a piglet." Ryoga said. It wasn't lowering the glow in his eyes. "I'll never end up in that kinda situation again and if I do I'll get outa it immediately."
This pacified his enraged fiancé somewhat. "Of course you would and Ryoga…IF YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN THEN YOU ARE A DEAD MAN."
Ryoga sweat dropped. "Yes dear."
* * * *
In Asgard: Office of Mis-wish Management (review of wish went wrongs)
Ranma sits in a seat at a table with Ryoga and the table is littered with files. "Hmmm lets see…this is Ukyo's file. She is a gentle soul and is entitled to a memory wipe or a change in her lifeline and since I'm back, a lifeline change it is." Taking out a map he traced the timeline of Ukyo and stopped at a spot. "Here. She never wanted me for a fiancé, just a friend. It was her stupid father that was pushing her and made her life hell. Now, when Genma got there, he accidentally pushed an old lady into the river and killed her. She was Ukyo's grandmother and would have taken her in, she also hated Ukyo's father." He watched as right after he says this, the timeline remakes itself and shows how it will diverge from the original. He turns to the divine beings and gave one of them their assignment. "Go back to this time and make sure she survives." The long hair Goddess bowed to Ranma and leaves.
"Excellent." Ryoga applauded. He loved seeing him at work. The demon in him also appreciated the devilry in the plan.
"Yes. We change Ukyo's perspective but…" They shared a grin.
Ryoga turned to the demon. "Go and create a bubble around those directly effected by this change. Here is the list of people. They will retain their original memories while everyone else will have the new." Ryoga handed over a list with the names Akane, Nabiki, Shampoo, Cologne, Genma, and Soun. He bowed to Ryoga and disappeared.
Ranma had turned to the file of Nodoka. "Now the wish has messed with her life." He turned to another God; "You will go to the time of her conception and change it to make sure that baby Ranma is in fact Ranko. She is being gifted with the daughter she should have had. It will make Genma miserable." He then turns to a demon. "And here's a bit of devilry for you. As we all know Nodoka's mentality is set as traditional Japanese wife. Well, that fat Genma will try to go off with Ranko on a training trip as well and if he succeeds will drop her in a spring of drown man. Make sure that Nodoka gets there before the suicide pact is signed. She will see what a worthless husband he is and that he planned on abandoning her and taking away her precious daughter as well. She will become more self-sufficient, self-reliable, flexible, open-minded, be a better mother for Ranko, and make Genma's life miserable. He will end up taking that trip by himself and place a curse on him so that if he even thinks about selling or engaging her to anyone, he gets run outa town, shocked, or a number of horrible things happen to him."
"Yeah," Ryoga put in, "use your imagination. They both bowed and left to their assigned task.
Ryoga grinned evilly. "Genma wouldn't know what hit him when the Ranma he remembers is Ranko and Nodoka kicks his ass if he does anything. The Kuno siblings would be much more annoying if they didn't remember Ranma at all and Kuno also will not fall for Ranko because she wouldn't be defending Akane's honor."
"Well, do you wanna watch the fun begin Ryo-chan?" Ryoga took Ranma's hand in his.
"Let's go Ramie." They disappear from the room.
Chapter 4
The men on the streets of Nerima stared at the silver blue hair beauty that was walking down the street. She was wearing an earring on each ear. One was a dangle that ended in a fang tooth of some animal and on the other ear, there was a hoop that was studded with tiny blue sapphires. On her wrist were many bracelets of twisted gold decorated with many different gems. Her beautiful hair was tied in a loop so that it reached her waist.
Those that thought to look at 'her' chest and clothing noticed that the 'girl' was a guy. Those that were too dazed to look notice of the boy beside 'her', most glaring jealously. He was tall, taller then 'she' was, and had hair that was black with red highlights tied in a ponytail. The women notice how handsome he was and that his clothing proclaim him to be from some wealthy family. His eyes were covered with sunglasses, and if they were uncovered the men and women would have noticed the death glare he was aiming at all of them.
The women noticed that the blue hair girl was very underdeveloped and began to scheme about using their feminine wiles in order to trap that boy. They were thinking how he wouldn't have had much experience and would fall into their hands.
Ranma was totally oblivious to all this and continued on. Ryoga was very aware of what was going on in these mortal's minds and he was pissed off. He took Ranma's hand and placed a kiss upon it.
Ranma blushed. "Well do you wanna do it now?"
"Sure. Why not?" The both became invisible to the mortal eye, leaving the gaze and mind of the people on the street. They popped into the Tendo Dojo with some popcorn and waited to watch the show. They didn't have long to wait.
* * * *
Genma woke up in the cold. He looked around and noticed he wasn't in his normal room with that ungrateful whelp. He didn't come home last night to eat Akane's cooking and as such they all had to suffer for it instead. Now why wasn't he sleeping in his room…
Akane stomps down the hall with a bucket full of ice water and the fires of rage burning in her eyes. "That baka! I spend all that time cooking and he doesn't even show up to eat it! I'm show that pervert!" She slams open the door and with a yell of "Ranma no Baka" she sloshes the ice water at the sleeping lump, not noticing that the lump was already a female Ranma. Expecting the usual talk about uncute tomboy fiancées, she readies her mallet. What she got was a very loud and shrill female scream.
She was also shocked when her mallet was sliced in half and a katana pressed to her throat. She looked at a very furious Nodoka. "Oh Auntie Nodoka, I didn't see you."
Nodoka narrowed her eyes and hissed. "Don't you Auntie me Akane. If you ever do that again to my daughter I will kick your ass, do you understand me." Akane's eyes widened in shock and she looked at Ranma who was wearing a cute pink nightdress and her eyes narrowed.
"RANMA YOU PERVERT!" Her mallet materialized again and she started to swing, thinking this was some ploy of Ranma's to show how unfeminine she was when she was suddenly knocked outa the window. She lay dazed on the ground as Nodoka stuck her head out of the window and gave her a shaming look.
Ranma and Ryoga laugh and pointed at her…this was fun.
Everyone gathered at the table and was staring at Nodoka. When did she get here? Was running through everyone's mind. They got the shock of their lives when Ranko came down. To them it was as if 'Ranma' had lost 'his' mind. She was wearing a dress, her hair was done up nicely, and she had makeup on.
As soon as she sat down Akane started to yell at her. "What do you think your doing Ranma? I'm not gonna marry a pervert who dresses in girls clothing!"
Genma started to open his fat mouth too. "Yeah son, get rid of those weak girly cloths. You're a man." And she screamed as he poured hot water over her head. They all gasped as she didn't turn into a boy and all heard the sound of a katana being drawn.
"What is it with all you freaks and water?" She ran upstairs to change.
"Yes Genma." Nodoka glared at Genma making him sweat drop. "And what is she saying about Ranko being her fiancée? Who's Ranma?" She turns toward Akane and her father. "I'm sorry young lady but my daughter will not marry another girl. You might like other women and I support you in that but I assure you that my child is only interested in men. You should be ashamed of your daughter Tendo, forcing another girl into an engagement. You should seek some professional help." She shakes her head at the four frozen people. "Ranko and I are leaving." She goes up the stairs and a minute later appears with Ranko and leaves.
"What was that all about?" Nabiki wondered. She didn't know what was happening and it was a feeling she despised. She's was gonna find out if it kills her and make a profit out of it.
Kasumi stomps into the room. They all stared at a mad Kasumi; sure they had somehow wound up in the twilight zone. "Well I hope you're happy. I wanted to get to know Nodoka and Ranko better but you people are always ruining everything. Well I got something to tell you. I am not taking any crap from you people anymore. You will behave or you will not like the consequences."
"Wow." Commented on an invisible Ryoga. "What's that all about?"
"Well let's see." Ranma whips out a chart of the events. "Seems that with no Ranma there to divert Akane's rage or to save her from wackos that like her…that creepy voodoo guy managed to get a spell on Akane but messed it up. She in turns tries to seduce Dr. Tofu and Kasumi was there in another room; happened to hear everything. When Tofu refused she mallets him and that just ended Kasumi's tolerance for her family. On the plus side, she did nurse him back to health and they are now engaged. They tried having a normal wedding at the Tendo Dojo but her family ruined it. Now Kasumi, Nodoka, and Tofu's mother are planning another wedding, this time a secret one that they can't ruin. Ranko's going to be the flower girl."
"That's nice." Ryoga looked over at the chart as well. "Aha, they wanted to keep her around for her cooking and housework while Akane crashed it because she believes Tofu belongs to her. I see that you've written that Akane and Soun are emotionally unstable and should seek professional help. Let's see, Akane's emotional instability and delusions are placed at a higher risk category then her father's because of her rages."
"Yup, after all I am the foremost authority for Health of every kind; healing, herbs, mental health, spiritual heath, and death and breakdowns."
Ryoga grins at his proud fiancé. "You sure are branching out." Ranma raised an eyebrow at him.
"And this comes from the head and creator of Habiki Industries, the best at electronics of any kind, Internet security, and hacking." Ryoga smiled sheepishly.
"Well, dad wanted me occupied while that wish had you in its grasp. Otherwise I'd kill some people. Hey, I'm hungry. Wanna go to Ucchan's?"
"Sure Ryoga."

Akane stomped through the hallways of the High School. She didn't know how or why but she was sure today was all that pervert Ranma's fault. Kuno was still bothering her but this morning a group of boys were waiting. She thought they were waiting for her to come and beat them up but they didn't even notice when she stalked up to them. They were all well dressed and each carried flowers, candies, chocolate, sweets, or snacks.
Then Ranma came to school…IN A DRESS…and all the boys crowed around her. They didn't shout, "GO OUT WITH ME" or anything like that but asked her how was her morning and if they can sit with her at lunch and stuff. Acting like Ranma was a real girl and being nice to her. That set Akane's blood boiling but when she demanded what that pervert was doing, the girls snubbed her. They said that Ranko was nice to the boys and wouldn't fight them. She also lets them eat lunch with her and her friends, which resulted in half of the population at school being couples.
There was the little tramp now. Akane shot a glare at a confused Ranko and her friends. "What was that all about?" they asked Ranko.
"I don't know but I think that girl's flipped her lid. I was at her house this morning and Akane threw water at me and tried to attack me. She kept calling me Ranma and saying she would never marry me. Then my old man and Akane's dad got into the act, throwing water at me and saying I'm a boy and stuff."
"Well, you shouldn't stay around there anymore then. They sound dangerous to me."
To add to Akane's annoyance and anger, the rumor around school is that she is a pervert. Nabiki went through the day in shock. Her informants had informed her that they didn't know a Ranma Soatome. All her information is reported to be wrong. The school gossip mill now teemed with the info that everyone at the Tendo Dojo, except for Kasumi, had a screw loose or something.

"Well that was nice. She looked really happy and is wearing kimono's and everything." Ranma commented. "Knew it was a good idea to allow her grandma to survive."
"And she's still very good at what she does. I can't believe Tsubasa's her boyfriend and he's dressed as a guy too." Ryoga added. They walked along until a little sprite appeared, giggling in front of them. A chaos sprite, responsible for unexplained trips and stuff.
With a bell like little voice the tiny being reported. "Your parents want to see you two."
