Pure Authors Notes and Summary

When I first started this story, it was originally supposed to be an alternate reality story of my take of how Ranma adopted the disguise of Yoiko Hibiki. But, as with most my stories, the story started to write itself and now it is completely different than my original idea. I had to name it something so I came up with something I thought was most logical. Anyways I hope you like. It is rather dark though.

On a very bright shiny day a very special ceremony was taking place on the Kuno family estate. "We are gathered here today to join this couple, Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo, in Holy Matrimony…"

This ceremony was not taking place as any kind of trick at all but of the wishes of both Ranma and Akane. They have finally admitted their love for each other. The father's could not be any happier even if they did not have anything to with it past forcing the engagement upon them.

As for it taking on the Kuno Estate, well Tatewaki witnessed Ranma proposing to Akane. A tremendous fight took place in which neither one gave or gained ground. Akane finally entered the fight and put a stop to it. This time she was deadly serious as she never was before. Tatewaki never saw such hatred coming out of her pure eyes before and it directed towards him. This shocked him so much it truly showed him she was lost to him forever and to make matters worse she made it clear she would not tolerate any revenge against Ranma from him.

Reluctantly, Tatewaki realized Akane will never be with him for she loves Ranma with all her heart. He was aware of their trouble getting married due to the chaos that surrounded Ranma's life. As a wedding present to Akane he offered the safe haven of his estate for the wedding ceremony and reception afterwards.

They both blurted out Kadachi at the exact same time. With a sad expression he told them he had to have her committed to an Asylum for the Mentally Impaired. Her insane antics even threatened her at one point. For her own protection against herself she needed to be committed to get the necessary help she needed. Kadachi's prognosis was not good for she truly did not believe she needed help. Suffice to say Kadachi was not getting out any time soon.

Akane and Ranma felt sorry for Tatewaki for they knew he cared for his sister deeply. He after all put up with her antics over the years. Kuno has surprised everyone by even protecting her from reprisals after it was proven she harmed him deliberately.

With that problem out of the way Akane and Ranma privately discussed Tatewaki's offer. It took time but they decided to accept his generosity. Now as Ranma gazed upon Akane at the altar he was very glad they did. This day has been truly magical and best yet crazy free.

"Ranma, do you take this woman, Akane Tendo, to be your wedded wife. Will you cherish her forever, protect her from all sorts of chaos, rescue her when she needs it, never betray her trust, and always be truthful to her throughout eternity?"

When the minister asked this of Ranma, Ranma got so nervous he visibly started to sweat. He barely got the words "I do with all my heart" out.

Ranma had opted not to write his own vow but instead had managed to write down what he wished the Minister to ask of him. Because the words he used were acceptable they allowed it. However Akane chosen to write her own or rather opted to wing it based upon her mode at the time.

"Ranma, when I first met you, you were in your girl form. I wanted to be friends forever with you. That has never changed. When I saw you in your boy form for the first time I thought you were cute and well suited to be my boyfriend if you know what I mean." Everyone chuckled for the first time she saw the boy form was when she walked in on him as he got out of the bath tub fully nude. "I got angry so no one would suspect my true feelings of love for you. I instantly fell in love with you at first site. Since then I learned of your troubles of feminine modesty or rather your lack of it. Quite frankly you were lucky to have been one of the top martial artists in the world or surely you would have been raped by now. I vowed to teach you feminine modesty even if it killed you. Since then our relationship been one of fighting for you fought me tooth and nail over each little thing I tried to teach you."

"I have always loved you and will always love till the end of time. I vow to keep on taking care of you as I have the past few years with every fiber of my being. From this day forward I promise to always believe the best in you."

Ranma was stunned by the words that Akane just spoke to him. He had no idea she felt that deeply for him. Part of him was scarred but the rest of him was overjoyed.

The rest of the ceremony was just as beautiful. However that was about to change dramatically for they got to a crucial part that always seemed to caused hiccups. "Before I pronounce them as husband and wife, if someone can show just cause why they should not be bound in holy matrimony let them speak now or forever hold their peace."

Ranma had always dreaded this point for it always spelled disaster in the five previous wedding disasters. This time he thought they were safe. Every conceivable block had been taken care beforehand.

Tatewaki was amazing enough his best man and Ukyo was Akane's maiden or honor. Kadachi was still locked up in the loony bin. They've found a way to reseal the master, Happosai, back up.

They found a loop hole in the whole Amazon kissing stuff. Seem if another male challenged Ranma for Shampoo's hand and won then he would be Shampoo's fiancé instead. With that in mind the fathers trained Mouse extensively as well having his eyes fixed. In the end it was easy for Mouse to defeat Ranma. However he was still not accepted since he was rejected once by Shampoo. That still was in affect but the defeat did release Ranma from all Amazon's Kisses included the Kiss of Death he received in his girl form.

Ranma relaxed visibly until his pigtail twitched in a very familiar and alarming way. "Uh no."

Akane glared at him thinking he was speaking up until she noticed the fear in his eyes. Softly the asked with concern on her face, "What's wrong, Ranma?"

He looked gently at her and answered, "I did not even give him much thought when we were scheming to get the others out of the crazy way. He has been lost for a while now that I gave him no thought."

"You do mean…" But Akane never got to finish her sentence.

"RANMA, PREPARE TO DIE!" screamed Ryoga who just appeared out of nowhere to challenge Ranma one more time. "I speak against this union. This jerk does not deserve Akane"

Now Ranma glared at Ryoga who incidentally behind them on the 'isle'. "And who does pork-butt? You? You've been lying to Akane for a long time and you know what I am sick of it. Will someone else show Akane what I cannot please?"

"Gladly," Soun said as he took the flowers arrangement out of one the vases at the end of the pew and used the water inside the vase to splash Ryoga. His curse was instantly activated as he turned into the pig P-chan.

A scornful Akane turned to Ranma with hatred in her eyes. "I hinted about this forever Akane. But you never seemed to consider a Jusenkyo curse. Even with the multitudes of cursed people coming out of the woodwork you still did not ever catch on. I even took to calling Ryoga pig-butt and P-chan whenever he was human. I constantly asked you why P-chan would get so lost all the time. You never would put two and two together to get four. Yu always said it was three instead."

Akane turned to P-chan/Ryoga. "UNLESS YOU WISH ME TO HAVE BARBECUED PORK FOR DINNER YOU BETTER MAKE YOURSELF LOST AND STAY LOST FOREVER." Needless to say Ryoga made a very quick retreat knowing Akane meant it not as a threat but a premonition.

Akane then decked the hell out of Ranma.

"Did you ever think I might have known deep down but chosen to live outwardly in denial? At first I was confused but after the third time P-chan got lost I had to admit the truth but by then it was too late. All those times he saw me changing thus seeing my naked body. All times he slept with me with his snout on my bosoms. And the worst of all was all the times he fondled me improperly but I overlooked for he was just a stupid pig."

"What was worse is that you knew Ranma yet I chose to ignore that fact too for some reason. I ignored the times you did not protect me from that true pervert. Oh you tried to make me see reason but you never came right out and tell me exactly what was going on. I knew about your oath to him. Damn it we were engaged and fiancé's protects each other from such harm no matter what. Our duty to each other trumps that stupid oath."

"We just swore an oath before all that was here to never betray the other ever again and always to be truthful to each other. However you could not live up to that oath above your oath to him. You could not tell me directly but asked another to do it instead. I can't trust you to put my needs above the needs of your own stupid view of what Honor is. I take back my vows and as far as I am concerned this wedding is hereby canceled."

Akane walked off leaving a very sad Saotome family as Soun told Genma they were no longer welcomed in his home and their things there will be thrown away.
