AN: In this Ranma ½, Tenchi Muyo Ah, My Goddess crossover, I am tacking a big step out of cannon, in that Nodoka NEVER talked about the Seppuku Contract, for it did not exist. Gemma LIED to Ranma about it, to keep him from her, and she never found out that Ranko Tendo was Ranma. Other then those two things, everything happened as in the manga. This takes place four months after the failed wedding attempt Ranma wise. As to Tenchi Muyo, I'm making my own damn version of it, seeing as there's what? Twelve? Versions to choose from. As to Ah My Goddess? I'm not sure yet. Ask me latter. Also, I started this fic pretty much because I NEED to do something other then all the Sailor Moon Crossovers I'm doing, I wanted to do a Tenchi crossover, and I'm stuck on Tokmi's Savior, so that one wasn't a viable option. Also in this fic I'm trying to lengthen my chapters some what. Hope I succeed.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ranma ½. I do not own Tenchi Muyo. I do not own Ah, My Goddess! I do no own any fictional person place or thing used in this story. I do not own any real person place or thing used in this story. All original persons places and things used in this story as well as the story it's self are mine however.

WHAT WAS ONCE FORGOTTEN

CHAPTER ONE

FORGOTTEN MEMORIES

Washu's Lab, one year before Saffron's defeat: Six months after Kagato's defeat.

It happened in a second. One careless drop of a chemical. Just one too many drops of the most potent, unstably explosive, chemical in the known universe, and Wahsu's lab was destroyed.

The explosion rocked the Masaki home, shacking it to its foundations. After determining it came from Washu's lab, the residents of the house were quite angry, till they got no response from Washu through the lab door bell.

Panicking slightly Ryoko tried to reach her mother mentally. "I can't reach her!" Ryoko cried. Panicked, she teleported to her mother's side. The destruction was, impressive, to say the least. Ryoko saw none of that. All she saw was Washu's tiny, shredded body. Gasping, she kneeled, going to close her mother's eyes. "Mom." She said with sorrow, whishing she had said that word to Washu while she was still alive.

As she touched her, she felt it, life! Washu was alive! "But that's impossible!" Ryoko gasped, looking at all the holes in Washu. She looked like Swiss Cheese. She had holes torn through every part of her body, including her head.

Ryoko didn't know what to do. She quickly picked her up and teleported them to the medical laboratory, where she put her in a regenerative tank which Washu was inspired to build after seeing one in Dragon Ball Z. As the greenish gel like fluid filled the tank, Ryoko went to share this news with the others.

Masaki living room: later

"I think the main question we have is, how did she live through that?" Katsuhito said/asked the room.

As the others nodded in their agreement, Sasami spoke. "I know. Or rather Tsunami does. She didn't want to tell you, but I convinced her to."

"Then how is my mother alive?" Ryoko asked in anger. She felt so helpless, that she was channeling it in to anger, and the Goddess seemed a perfect outlet for her fury.

As Tsunami manifested, she said "Peace my Niece." Causing gasps to come from around the table.

"What did you call me?" Ryoko asked, shocked out her anger.

There was a slight distortion of air, and someone new was in the house. "She called you Niece. I guess you are technically are ours." The new figure told her.

Ayeka and Katsuhito gasped at the site of this new woman, for she looked like the images of Tsunami's greatest adversary,

"Tokimi." Tsunami hissed. "Why are you here?" She asked with venom.

Sighing, Tokimi sat down in an empty chair next to a Ryoko, who was looking back and forth between two women claiming her as their 'Niece' with an open mouth. "I just want to check up on my sisters, now that one of them is finally going to be forced back into the fold." Tokimi then said with a big grin.

Standing up and slamming her hand into the table Ryoko yelled in aggravation and anger "What is going on here?"

"Simple." Tokimi said, glancing up at her so called 'Niece'. "That's Tsunami, the Goddess of Life, I'm Tokimi Goddess of Chaos and her oldest Sister" Ayeka's and Katsuhito's mouth's dropped open. 'HER SISTER?' went through their minds. "And Washu's the middle sister. She was the Goddess of Knowledge." Tokimi told a stunned room.

"What do you mean was?" Ryoko asked in a soft, shocked voice.

Tokimi sighed. "We are the three governing Goddess of this universe, yet Tsunami and I here squabbled like little children over the pettiest things." Seeing that Tsunami was about to speak, Tokimi raised a finger and said "No, not now." Silencing whatever protest she was about to make. "Now where was I? Oh yah, petty fighting. Washu was like our, mediator, I guess, but one day she got sick of it, and decided to prove one or the other of us right. So she became mortal to prove which of us had the right idea. Unfortunately, in that time, I have come to see Tsunami's point of view, somewhat, in the regards to mortals, so it wasn't necessary for her to have done that. Washu planed for one hundred thousand years as a mortal, and has yet to go through over fifty, but if she's to recover from this, Tsunami and I have to wake her up." Tokimi told a shocked room.

"What do you mean, 'wake her up'?" Ryoko asked nervously.

"She means," Tsunami said sighing "That if we want Washu around sometime before her time as a mortal is up, we must reawaken her to her Goddess hood. " She said rubbing her nose.

"Even then," Tokimi took up saying "She will need time to adjust to her powers, memories, and heal, before she awakes. Well if we're done," Tokimi said standing, "I'd like to heal my sister now. Tsunami?" She asked, turning to her sister.

"Yes, lets." And she stood up as well.

Washu's room: On the day of Saffron's defeat

Ryoko was in Washu's room, watching Washu. She had felt something today, she somehow knew her mother would awaken today. How she wasn't sure of, but she just knew it. Later as both Tsunami, and then Tokimi came in, and each asked "You felt it too?" she knew she had been right.

"What was that?" Ryoko asked in shock. She felt something. Something powerful.

"A minor Deity of this world died and was reborn." Tsunami said with her eyes closed.

"But who could do such a thing?" Tokimi asked with closed eyes. "The power that defeated the minor Deity. It's similar to ours. Too similar in fact." Tokimi said tapping her chin in thought as she opened her eyes.

"That's because it was my Grandson." A dry voice rasped.

Every head in the room turned to Washu. She was awake! After a massive three way hug on her, they finally, after half an hour or so, managed to process what she said. "Grandson?" Tsunami asked, looking at Ryoko.

"Hey don't look at me, I ain't never had a kid!" Ryoko protested.

Looking back to Washu they asked the question with their eyes.

"He's not my grandson, he's much farther down then that. I'm not sure how many greats there are in his case. A lot." They encouraged her to continue. "Water?" she asked. Tsunami conjured some. After her drink Washu continued. "Ok, after you two 'awoke' me, my mind almost shattered." Tsunami and Tokimi winced. That would have been BAD. "But in the confusion, my mind latched on to something, or should I say some one. My I don't know how many greats grandchild. He's had a hard life. It even might tie with yours Ryoko." Said woman winced at that. "He was nothing special at first to me. I didn't know why I latched on to him. But as I watched his life, my memories started to come back, and I remembered. I did have a child with my husband, but she ran away from home. After my husband died, I looked for her, only to find she had died as well. I never knew she had a son." Washu said crying. "Her son's grandson wound up on this planet in a crash of an experimental space ship, and he was stranded here. That was ten thousand years ago."

Taking a deep breath and another drink of water, Washu continued. "As I remembered more, I also watched him with interest. His DNA was over ninety six percent human, but he was as powerful with a type of bio-energy manipulation that even I dismissed as impossible, Ki, as any here in this house. And he knew others that were near his level as well. At first some were even greater. But when he got in that fight with that blasted arrogant demi God, I though I was going to have to watch him die after seeing him triumph over so much. Then, when everyone was going to die, he he…" Washu stumbled over how to say this.

"He what?" Tokimi asked, fearing she knew the answer.

"He accessed Divine Power didn't he? He ascended." Tsunami stated questionitivly.

"For a moment." She acknowledged "For a moment he was a Deity, but after he brought someone back to life, he shoved it back down. But that's temporary. He could accesses it again at any time if the stress on him is high enough, and with his life, that'll be really soon" Washu sighed.

"Great! You've given us yet another Deity to deal with!" Tokimi cried in frustration.

"Another?" Washu asked, puzzled.

Ryoko sighing said, "Over the past year, they've been helping me. Seems like I've been an unknown Deity for a while. It just took Tokimi to figure out I was one. She was, less then pleased." Ryoko winced, remembering Tokimi rage at finding out that she was a Goddess, and no one knew or had trained her in her powers. It was still scary to think of.

Changing the topic quickly, because both Tokimi and Ryoko bland her in this case, Tsunami asked Washu, "Washu, do you think you can give us your memories of your Grandson? It would be nice to know the kind of man we may be accepting into are ranks." Pausing, she added "If you feel up to it that is."

"Ok, sure." She said, and then concentrating, she shared her memories of Ranma's life with them. After a few minuets, she lay back down, exhausted.

"They are all dead." Tokimi said coldly.

"Dibs on the Father." Ryoko said with malice.

With true venom, never before heard in her voice Tsunami said "Akane's mine."

"Well you took that as expected." Washu sighed. "Can I ask you three to watch him, till I get well? Then I'm bringing him here. Should only be a few months of rehabilitation for me." She then laughed. "God I feel like crap."

Chuckling Ryoko said "Don't you mean Goddess?"

Washu groaned.

Ranma's Mother's house: two months after the failed wedding

Ranma was in shock. Ranma had walked up to his mother's house this morning looking to end his life. He finally told her about the curse, and asked if she wanted him to fill out the seppuku contract he singed. At her 'What seppuku contract?' question, he told her. She got seriously pissed at this, seeing as she never had known about this. Then she made him tell her every thing. He did so. What followed was a storm of retribution. She called her lawyers, and then told Ranma to stay here. He was to later that night find out what happened. Genma was cat out of the Clan and in the hospital, having been run through the gut by his Mothers katana. The police were very understanding. All his fiancée's had been served with restraining orders. Nabiki was being sued and held in jail for underage pornography. All in all after he heard what had happed this day, Ranma had to ask,

"Mom, didn't you go too far?"

Sighing she turned to her son. 'Such a gentle soul.' She thought. "No. if anything I did not go far enough. They were using you. Using and abusing you. And they all conspired to not let you see it." She said shaking her head. "They cared nothing for you, just what they could use you for. And Genma was the worst offender. He raised you as to not to be able to see the abuse. I'm sorry my son. He promised me when he left he'd be back within a year, that you were just going to a few Sensei's he knew of to gage your aptitude, and then you'd be back in time to start your schooling. He never returned. I was devastated. And then every time I came over to the Tendo's you were hiding as Ranko because Genma told you that lie about the seppuku contract." Tears streaming down her face, she said "He made you think I'd kill you for your curse, and then you come to me looking to end your life because THEY made it HELL, and you ask me IF I WENT TO FAR? YOU who wanted to DIE to escape them? How can you ask that?" She ended screaming through her tears.

Pouring cold water on her self, Ranma started to cry as well and hugged her mother. "I'm sorry! I'll never do it again." She cried.

Hugging her now daughter back, Nodoka said "Never even think of it again." She was rubbing small useless circles on Ranma's back to calm them both down. "Now why did you turn yourself into a girl?" Feeling Ranma stiffen, Nodoka said "I'm not mad at you, just curious."

"Pop's taught me it was unmanly to cry, and now I can't express any real emotion except as a girl." Ranma told her mother.

Nodoka sighed. "Ranma, do you believe what your father taught you about woman being weak?" she asked her, dreading the answer.

"No, not any more. I've met too many strong women. In fact I could see that Pop's was afraid of them towards the end. I figured out that's why he told me that." Ranma told her mother.

"Then why did you turn into a girl to cry?" Nodoka asked again.

"It's just to ingrained into my brain. Boys can't cry. Girls can. I think if I didn't have this curse, I'd have gone nuts. It's been my emotional outlet. I can cry in this form." Ranma said through tears.

"Ranma," Nodoka started looking at her, at this moment daughter "How comfortable are you with your curse? Be honest. I need to know. I won't hate you or think less of you no matter what you say. I just need to know how much work we have to do."

Adjusting her position in Nodoka's lap, Ranma sighed and said "Not as far as I'd like. I mean, I don't see it as a curse no more, it's helped me too much, kept me sane with a way to vent, but I never could be seen to not hate it, or I'd be punished by Pop's or Akane, or someone else. They made sure I'd never get as used to it as I needed to be. They all got to get used to their curses. Hell Pop's spends more time as a panda then human most days. But me? I never got the chance out of fear of reprisal from everyone." She started screaming "You just can't have the great Ranma Saotome be comfortable with his or her life! No that would be unfair to everyone else! Everyone came before me! Everyone!" Crying into her mother's shoulder, she asked "Why couldn't they let me be happy?"

Nodoka just let Ranma cry herself to sleep.

The next day she told Ranma of her plan. Every day Ranma would alterate between trying to stay male or female. After some thought, Ranma finally agreed to it. He needed this, he knew it. If he was ever to achieve anything close to peace with his fucked up life, he needed to find balance with his curse, and make it into a blessing. Thus when asked what he wanted today to be, Nodoka was proud that he chose to be a female.

It took two weeks to get him to wear female undergarments when it was a female day, but Nodoka triumphed at last in that. She was waiting till much later to push her Son/Daughter into anything else, like blouses and slacks. Dresses were WAY down the line in her mind. Though Nodoka was looking forward to the day she could see her Daughter in one. It not only would look so good on her, it would signify great progress. But that, Nodoka knew, was in a far away time and place.

Four months after the failed wedding: on Ranma's way home from school

Ranma had been on her way home from school. The school had been les then excepting of Ranma showing up one day male the next female, but her mother got them to see reason. She smiled at the memory of it. Her smile faltered when she saw the four females outside her house looking at her.

"Ranma Saotome?" A red haired child asked.

Ranma sighed. "Death or marriage?" She asked. She for once hoped to hear marriage. The weakest of these girls, by her reckoning, had the power to make Saffron a quick snack. Ranma had NO illusions of her survival if they said death. Their power levels were insane.

"Excuse me?" The girl asked Ranma.

"Are you here to kill me or marry me? Not a hard question." Ranma said sighing.

Laughing the girl said "Neither, We're family."

Ranma, getting a better look at their aura's eyes widened. Great! More Deities! Snorting she said "Yeah right. Now pull the other one. You're Goddess. Now what are you REALY hear for?" She said surprising them with her assessment of their divinity.

"Look, we really are family. Can we com inside? We just want to talk." The girl said.

"Fine, but if you want to kill me, lets take it else where. Mom's house has been totaled enough." Ranma said opening the door and letting them in.

As they sat in the living room the little girl started "Ranma, my name is Washu Hakubi, and you are my descendent."

Ranma started laughing. When she did not stop, a cyan haired woman asked "Ok, I'll bite, what's so damn funny?"

"I know you're Goddesses, you're auras just screams it, but I can't imagaine her being my ancestor. She looks all of twelve! When I thought of her, doing that, then being pregnant, then giving birth, it was either scream and claw my eyes out, or laugh. Since I like being able to see, laugh it was." She said still slightly giggling.

They all looked a little green at Ranma statement. The Cyan haired woman said "She has you their Mom. In that form you don't really look, capable, of it." She said, starting to giggle herself, which caused Ranma to lose her control again soon everyone was laughing.

After they all calmed down, Washu said "I really am your ancestor Ranma."

"Ok, how then?" Ranma asked. And then she was told of Washu's decent into being mortal, or immortal in her case, to prove which of her sisters was right in the oppion whether or not they should wipe out all mortal life, and start on the project anew.

After her explanation, Ranma just sat their and stared. After a while she said "So, you're telling me that while you were in a sort of coma, you latched on to me, though at first you didn't know why?" Ranma asked. Getting a nod she continued "And then you figured out that while you were mortal your dead kid had a kid which led to me?" another nod "And was for a few minutes during and after the fight with Saffron a Deity myself?" yet more nodding "And then I subconsciously suppressed it, but it's going to pop up again soon if I don't get your help with the matter?" a big round of nodding from the group as a whole. "Whoa." Ranma said in shock.

As Ranma sat their contemplating thing, a familiar battle cry rang out "RANMA SAOTOME! PREPARE TO DIE!" As the Goddess stood up to lay smack down upon whomever dared yell that, Ranma sighed and said

"Scuse me a moment, this won't take long." And then she went to the door. Opening it wide, Ranma yelled "Hey pig boy! I can't play today! I have family over!"

"Really? Sorry ma-Err Ranma" He corrected himself, seeing he was a she at the moment. "Can I meet them then?" Ryoga asked.

Sighing, and knowing what would happen, she said "Sure Ryoga." And went inside, leaving the door open.

Ryoga stepped inside inside and stopped cold. "Ok Ranma, what is this? Those are Deities that make Saffron look like a pipsqueak! And you said you have FAMILY over?" Ryoga yelled.

"Can everyone here see us for what we are?" Ryoko asked her Mother.

"No." Washu said. "Only those that have the ability to read aura's and have knowledge of what a deity's aura looks like can. These two, being able to see auras and having been in a demi Gods presence know what we are." She told her Daughter. The turning to Ryoga, she asked "Why were you threatening the life of my grandson?"

Feeling the power roll off this, Goddess, Ryoga said quickly "I wasn't! Really! I was just letting Ranma know I wanted to spar again." Looking down Ryoga said "He's been nice enough to let me take out my frustrations on him when they get too much for me."

"Ryoga," Ranma said cracking her knuckles

"Uh, yes Ranma?" Ryoga asked worried.

"What have I said about addressing me?" Ranma asked.

"Um, do it based on your current outward gender?" Ryoga asked with big beads of sweat forming on him.

"Then why didn't you?" Ranma asked smiling a not nice, too many teeth showing smile.

"Um, I forgot when she addressed you as her grandson?" Ryoga asked praying for a miracle.

It was granted. Maybe even by a Deity in that very room, for Ranma said "Ok, I'll let you off the hook THIS time, but next time you pay for it."

"Um, ok." Ryoga said and quickly sat down.

Ranma turned to the Goddess and said "As part of my training to get used to both my forms, my mom and I decided that I should be addressed as the gender I currently am, not my birth gender. So for the rest of the day I'll be your grand daughter. Tomorrow I'll be your grandson. By the way, how many greats in the grand?" Ranma asked sitting down.

"Too many to count." Washu told Ranma.

"I just had a horrible thought." Ryoga said.

"What?" Ranma asked.

"If you really are the so many times it's ridiculous grand child of a Deity, it means one of your parents are too." Ryoga said wide eyed.

"Yeah, so?" Ranma asked puzzled where this was going.

Turning to Washu he Ryoga begged "Please, please tell me it's not Genma."

Washu looked sick. "No." was all she said while trying not to vomit.

Ryoga sighed a sigh of relief, followed shortly there after by Ranma.

Ranma then said "Mom should be home in about ten minutes or so, can we wait a bit to tell her and Ryoga what you told me, and then you can expand on it, like why you came now?"

"Fine Ranma." Washu said.

Nodoka's Family room: latter

To say Nodoka was stunned was like saying Ranma ate fast. Both are monumental understatements. "Ranma is going to…" She had been saying that partly completed sentence for the past ten minutes, and frankly it was annoying the Goddesses.

It was Tokimi who snapped first, screaming "A DEITY! A DEITY! COMPLEATE THE STUPID SENANCE AT LEAST WOMAN!" Turning to Washu Tokimi sighed and said "Here you are, the Goddess of knowledge, and all your off spring act like idiots!" She yelled.

"Hey I resent that!" Yelled Washu, Ryoko, Ranma and Nodoka.

Backing down a bit, Tokimi said "Well you have to admit they ACT dumb. I never said they were."

Laughing Ryoga said "She got you pegged Ranma. You can act like a total moron at times."

"So do you." Ranma pouted.

"Yeah, so do I. in fact everyone does I'd bet." Ryoga said, chuckling.

Tsunami nodded and said "Every acts stupid at times. Even me. Even her." She said referring to a Tokimi who just muttered under her breath.

As a knock came at the door, Ranma sighed and said "I'll get it. Probably a salesman or something." She mumbled.

Opening the door, she saw a bronze skinned silver haired woman in a sharp business suit that screamed 'Lawyer!' and Ranma almost sighed and passed her up as one. Then noticing how well she was hiding her Aura, she studied it.

As the woman got her bearings back, she started with "Ra…" That's as far as she got when Ranma called back

"Are we expecting more family?" 'What? Why would anyone ask…" Urd thought when she herd a voice. Her voice. One of the Goddesses that they were supposed to avoid due to the fact that, well they were higher up on the food chain then Kami-sama. They were THE top of said food chain in fact.

"No. Why?" Tsunami answered.

"Oh, no reason. There's just another Goddess standing on my doorstep!" Ranma shouted back.

'This can't be good.' Urd thought to herself. She then got a sinking feeling in her stomach. 'Why would one of them be…"

"Invite her in then." Tokimi said. The sinking feeling got worse.

"Yes grandson," a growl came from Ranma. A sigh followed and then the Washu said "Ok, ok, Granddaughter. Sheesh! So touchy! Let her in. we want to know why she's here."

Urd felt utterly doomed. With a capital DOOM. She followed Ranma into the house.

There they were the ones she was supposed to avoid pissing off like the plague. "Um, hi?"

"Let me guess, you know who we are, right?" Tokimi asked. Urd nodded.

"And you were probably instructed not to bother us, right?" Tsunami asked. Urd nodded again.

"Stupid jerks." Washu muttered. Louder she said "Don't worry about that. Just sit down and tell me why you're here. We'll make sure you don't get in trouble for this."

Sighing in relief Urd said "Well Heaven's Special Duty Unit was in the air above the, confutation, Ranma had with Saffron. They were there to arrest him, but dared not move in when doing so could have endangered Ranma's life. To their shock Ranma was victorious. In fact they witnessed him bring back the dead. So being curious, when Mrs. Saotome called her lawyers law firm, Kami-sama assigned me to become Ranma's lawyer, so we could learn more about him," Seeing the red heads look "Err I mean at the moment it a her?" shaking her head Urd continued with a question. "Is, Ranma really your…"

"Grandchild?" Washu asked. Urd nodded. "Well there's a hell of a lot of greats in that, but yes. And due to three things, Ranma's insane level of Ki manipulation, Ranma's indomitable will, and Ranma's just 'I never lose' Mentality, during Ranma's fight with Saffron, Ranma was a Deity for a few minutes. Ranma then, and even I'm not sure how, stuffed the power away. Abet poorly." Urd cocked her head in slight confusion at that point. Washu, seeing this said "Ranma could potently become a Deity again with enough stress. We're here to ask her and her mother to come live with us so as to slowly ease Ranma in to Deity hood, with out it possibly destroying Ranma."

"Uh, ok." Urd said. "Mind if I call my father? I'd like to know what to do now." Urd said.

"Sure go ahead." Tsunami said brightly.

"Can I use your phone?" She asked Nodoka.

"Sure. How long distance is it?" Nodoka asked.

Chuckling Urd said "No one's asked that one before. To answer your question, their will be no recorded of this call by the phone company, hence no charge to you."

Sighing with relief, Nodoka said "Use that phone." She said pointing to a phone on a desk next to the door to the kitchen.

"Ok." She said getting up.

The group pretty much ignored Urd as Ranma asked "So, uh, where do you guy's live?"

"In the Masaki Shine in OOOO" Ryoko said. "We live there with some people."

"Who?" Ranma asked honestly curious.

Ranma then got a run down on the shrine, which lead to the talks of a few adventures the groups had.

"So, you're after this Tenchi guy, as is almost every female there, other then your relatives?" Ranma asked Ryoko.

"Well, Washu wants him, but only as a Ginny Pig." Ryoko said, cuasing both Jusenkyo cursed boys to shiver.

"Well want some advice? From someone having multiple women through themselves at them daily?" Ranma asked.

"Why you being so helpful?" Ryoko asked with slit eyes.

"I' don't know. I like you. You remind me a little of me, I guess. Anyway want some advice?" Ranma asked again.

"Sure, why not, nothing else I've done has worked." Ryoko said.

"That's cause you're using a hard direct touch." Ranma said. "All my fiancée's did that to me and I hated it. Use a soft direct touch." Ranma said.

"What do you mean, hard, soft?" Ryoko asked confused.

"Well you might not like the answer, but her it is. A hard direct touch is, well the best example I can give is Shampoo. If you really have seen my past year, you've seen her right? Don't do that." Ranma said with a serious face.

At the others laughter Ryoko puffed up and said "Hey! I'm not that bad!"

Getting control of her laughter first Tsunami said "No, but you and Ayeka are close to it."

"Can't do it like that. Only make a guy want to run for the hills." Ranma said seriously. "As to a soft direct touch, I've never had a girl give me that, but it's like, letting them know you're available, be around them, but give no presser. It's like worming your way into their heart. Be friends with them, suitably, that's let suitably them know you're willing if they are, to be more. Never tell them directly, just drop hints. And that's that. He'll come to you all on his own. It's like fishing, you got to be patient. And if all the girls are giving him the hard touch like you said, and you're the only soft touch available, it'll be even quicker, for you're the safe harbor in the storm. Or to use my earlier fishing example, if all the other girls are impatient fishers, and you're the only one with patients, then all the other bait will look dangerous, but yours will look safe, and he'll never know he was caught till it's to late, but by then he won't care, you've got him." Ranma told a wide eyed Ryoko.

Urd came over at that point. She'd been just standing there listing to a master of bad relation ships describe a good one and said "Whoa, I've never heard better. You've given this a lot of thought, haven't you?"

Ranma nodded and said "If just one of my old fiancées had given me the soft touch, I might be with them right now."

Ryoko was still processing the data she received. Going over it in her mind, she saw it could work, but "Help me Ranma!" she cried. "Help me learn to soft touch Tenchi!"

Ranma sweat dropped. Big time. "Uh, what did you have in mind?" she asked, hopping it wasn't what she thought it was.

"Just tell me how to soft touch, and drag me away when I revert to the hard touch!" Ryoko said eagerly.

Ranma sighed in relief. 'Now that I can do.' Ranma thought. Aloud she said "Sure thing, can do."

Jumping in to the air and then floating in it, Ryoko cried "Tenchi is as good as mine!" Ranma put her face in her hands and groaned.

"Opps, hee hee hee. Sorry, got a wee bit excited." Ryoko said, scratching the back of her head.

"Just don't do that around Tenchi." Was all Ranma said looking up at her.

"So, when are we going to your shrine?" Urd asked.

"We?" Tokimi asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Too much Star Trek for you, Tokimi." Washu said. "But she does have a good point. Why are you trying to invite yourself along?" she asked.

"Dad told me too." Urd then shrugged. "I think he just wants to keep an eye on Ranma and you four. This also might be a slight punishment for meeting you. I'm not supposed to if you remember." She honestly stated. "Besides, I'll need to visit Ranma and Nodoka anyway if I'm to represent them in court."

"Ah, let her come along. She just got the shaft from her old man, and it's not like we're trying to hide from them any way's. Hell Tokimi, you were just complaining three days ago that you haven't gotten to talk to another Deity that wasn't family in years." Ryoko said.

"Millennia actually." Tokimi said with indifference. Or at least the front of it. Urd caught that and said

"You know, my two sisters live on earth with me too. One of them's dating this mortal. Still can't get them out of the hand holding faze." Urd muttered, then getting back to the subject "I think I'll call them and let them know where I've been assigned." Urd smiled at Tokimi an artless smile. Tokimi gave an even better one, saying "Oh, and do let them know we would love to have them stay with us. We'd insist, if it wasn't for the fact we don't wish to offend."

Nodding, Urd smiled wider and said "I'll convey the message." She then went back to the phone.

Ryoga then asked, "Do you think I can come too? I just want to meet these people." He said.

"Sure, why not?" Washu said.

"Thanks." Ryoga said.

"You sure you want to come Ryoga? It's a ways from here." Ranma asked Ryoga.

"What? I've been there! It's like two miles that way!" Ryoga said pointing north.

"No you directionally lost twit, it's about three hundred and fifty miles that way!" Ranma said Pointing South South East.

"You know, that's the one thing I hate about my families curse. Everywhere is two miles away. Even Hell." Ryoga said slumping in his chair.

"You can't be…" Urd started on her way back to the sitting area, when both Ranma and Ryoga said

"He is."

"I am." Ryoga shuttered. "Hollywood has no idea how close they are to the real thing. Usually I'm out in seconds, but last time I almost fainted in to a longer stay."

"What did you see?" Urd asked worried at the terrors this boy might have seen.

"A Demoness in a bath." Ryoga said seriously. Ranma started snickering. "It ain't Funny Ranma! I almost passed out! If not for that blond haired Demoness Running in and yelling "Hild we have an intruder!" and then on seeing me shooting a fire ball at me, I never would have left the place!"

"HA, HA, HA!" Urd laughed. "That's great! You walked in on my mother in the bath, and it sounds like Mara saved your ass." She said still laughing.

"That was your mother?" Ryoga asked in shock.

"Yep, Hild, my mom, Ruler of Hell." Urd said chuckling.

"And you're a Goddess?" Ryoga asked.

"Let's just say it's a long story but the short of it is I take more after my Father Kami-sama in outlook." Urd said as she stopped laughing.

"Uh, ok." Ryoga said. Then he noticed a strange device that Washu was holding and pointing at him. "Um, what are you doing?" Ryoga asked nervously.

"Oh, just taking some readings. Simply amazing. You have an unstable class one teleport field on you. It seems to wax and ebb like the tide. When full, you just teleport to a random location. Can you ever go where you want?" Washu asked seriously.

"No." Ryoga admitted. Then he said. "But a can go to a person if I think hard enough about them. Only a few people though. I have to have a deep tie to them. Ranma's one of them." Ryoga said, jerking his thumb to point at said Ranma. "In fact that's how I got here after I got away from Hild's bath. I wanted to have a nice knock-down drag-out fight, and Ranma's the only one ho can give me one. Even if she does pull her punches." Ryoga said, glad that he remembered to use proper body gender nouns.

"Sorry." Ranma said embarrassed.

"No need to be sorry Ranma. You're just that good. And you'll just get better. Yes I used to be jealous, but hey, that's in the past. By fighting you when you limit your self to a notch or two above me power wise, I get better in power and skill, and you get better in skill if not power. That's fair to me." Ryoga told Ranma, who said

"You know, I think that's the most mature thing I've ever herd you say. And you're right. You do make me improve my skill." Ranma said smiling at that thought.

"Ok, that is all good to know. I may be able to help you Ryoga, I'd like to get you into my lab." Washu stated.

Ryoko was behind and above Washu signaling 'No! Bad idea! Bad BAD idea!' when Tokimi asked Washu "Washu, why do you still play with your machines? You could just use your power."

"Because dear Sister, one I trust my equipment immensely, two, as the Goddess of knowledge using them gets me closer to my worshippers, and three, I have fun using them. Is that ok with you big Sister?" Washu asked dangerously.

Tokimi may have been the eldest sister, thus the most powerful, but all Gods and Goddesses knew, out of the three, Washu has always been the most dangerous and sighed with some relief when she went native. Why you may ask was she the most dangerous with a capital DANGER? Think about it. Really. Ok still don't get it? For those with no clue, I'll fill you in. it's her Domain. Knowledge. With that domain every secret of the universe it's self is hers, if she wants or needs it. And the things she'd do out of boredom. Like give life intelligence. And free will. Yes that was her. So to them, the collected Deities of this universe, anything that elevated her boredom and kept her limited was a good thing. Even to Tokimi to some extent. Keeping Washu busy was always a plus in her book. She still hadn't forgiven Washu for giving mortal beings intelligence and free will. That had multiplied her work load and domain by several million, and was the main reason she wanted to start over with the mortals. The work load would have killed her if she had been mortal. As it was at that time, she just wished she could die.

So it was to no surprise to Washu and Tsunami when Tokimi gulped and said "Ok, ok fine."

Laughing in her effortless triumph, Washu asked, "Are we ready to go then?" All there nodded except Ranma and Nodoka who said they needed to pack. As they did so, Tokimi asked Urd

"And what about your Sisters and this Kechii?"

"They said to call them when we got there, and then they'd come on over by themselves." Urd said.

After a bit Nodoka and then Ranma came down. "What took you Ranma! Your mother got done faster then you!" Ryoga yelled at her.

"Idiot!" Ranma yelled back. "I have twice as many clothes to pack now that mom's banned me from unisex stuff!"

"Uh, sorry, I didn't think of that." Ryoga admitted.

"Are we quite Ready to go now?" Washu asked with exasperation.

"Yes!" was the cry from the group.

"Good!" and with that, Washu pulled out a device that opened a portal to her lab, pushed a button on it, and then walked through the portal calling back "Just follow me!"

AN: So how did I do doing a longer chapter? Did I do good? I just took some old advice about putting a few of what I would release as chapters together. Now the trick will be to keep them long. I do believe, though I am not positive, that this will be my main story for a little while. If so I will update my other fics, it's just the one will be the most worked on. I, of course, promise nothing, but I do believe at this point in time it to be true. This story idea's got me hooked at the moment, and I'm also using it as a test to see if I actually CAN write a decent sized chapter story. I really am striving to improve myself with this one. Well tell me how I did, and thanks for reading this.
