Chapter Three
Once Kaneda had studied the documents he got from Nabiki, he took off for the theater at which Takio Matsuda was going to be when he was accosted.
"You there, Kaneda Akiyama. How dare you think someone from a family of merchants like yourself is good enough for the beauteous Akane?" Kuno announced with an air of superiority.
"I don't have time for you, Kuno. Now run along," Kaneda said, ignoring the samurai.
"You dare dismiss the great Tatewaki Kuno, the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High?! Have at thee. Tatatatata!"
"He's a lot tougher than I remember. Was he holding back on me before when I was Akane?" Kaneda thought as he avoided Kuno's rapid fire sword attacks. "As much as I would like to compare this Kuno with the other one, I have to end this quickly."
Kaneda blocked with his hammer, counter attacking as soon as he had claimed the intuitive. !Wham! Thus Kuno went flying into the sky as Kaneda's hammer connected with the samurai's jaw somewhat like an uppercut.
"That was interesting," Nabiki thought to herself as she watched from her flying virtual reality controlled video camera which resembled a large sized bird. A nerd had come up the idea so Nabiki had bought a couple of them. They were well worth the price.
"Now if someone could come up with a fly that did the same thing, I'd be really happy," Nabiki thought to herself.
Kaneda then swung his hammer and took off for his destination. As he flew through the air someone leaped into the air, attacking him. "Mousse! So what's your problem?" Kaneda asked Mousse as he dodged flying daggers and chains. "This guy is good. I never would have beaten him before. As it is, it won't be too easy."
"How did you know who I was? Anyway, you're a minor hindrance to my plans. Silk is my 'God Forbid I Don't Get To Marry Shampoo' fiancee. In other words she's my second string. Destroying you is not as important as destroying Ranma, but since you're here in front of me," Mousse said as he shot some rather large needles at Kaneda.
"Does he know the Chinese art of using needles as offensive weapons?" Kaneda thought as he missile deflected the Mousse's attacks with his hammer. "I think I'll reflect some of these needles right back at him."
"I'm not in love with Silk! Do understand me?! I haven't beaten Silk anyway; so you're all worried for nothing," Kaneda tried to explain.
"That doesn't matter. She's liable to trick you into marrying her anyway. So I have to deal with you before that happens. I made the mistake of allowing Shampoo to be beaten by Ranma, so I won't make the same mistake again. And who knows maybe I'll marry the both of them after defeating both you and Ranma. Now I'm going to ungh..." Mousse said passing out after getting hit with his own drug laced needles.
"Just as I thought. I had no idea Mousse had needles like that. Now it's time to deal with Takio Matsuda. After this no more distractions I have to win Akane's heart. Most of my business is done after this." Kaneda thought with determination.
When he arrived at the large theater, Kaneda heard a woman screaming inside. As he was about to enter two large sumo sized men barred his path. "Go away fool!" one of the men said. Undeterred, Kaneda walked up to them picked each one up with one hand by their huge stomachs and slammed their heads together knocking them both out. Then he walked inside.
As he entered he saw what looked like a slave auction. A young girl was stripped naked while the richly adorned men from foreign countries bid on them. Some were very large men from Russia, some were Koreans, some were Chinese and some were Arabic.
"Hey, you there! Who are you? Are you with the police? We already paid you guys off!" a man in a nice suit yelled at him. Then he recognized Kaneda. "Why you're... Ungh!" Despite Kaneda's attempt to knock the man out quietly, several men who were guards looked in Kaneda's direction.
Then Takio spoke. "So you've found me, my enemy. You have found your death and destruction."
"What is this, Takio? It looks like you are the one who has been kidnapping young girls and selling them into slavery. I'd call you a pervert but that would be an insult to perverts everywhere. You think I'm here for my destruction? You got it backwards. I'm here for your destruction!"
"Kill him!" Takio had about one hundred men there. None of them were seriously powerful martial artists. But there were enough of them to give Kaneda a hard fight. They immediately attacked him from all sides, forcing Kaneda to quickly spin around at blinding speed taking out several of them. In a few minutes all of them were down.
Then fifty ninjas appeared out of nowhere, armed with different kinds of ninja weaponry. As they attacked, it became obvious they were more skilled than the previous group so Kaneda whipped out his hammer and swung as if his life depended on it.
"Aaaaaaaa!" !4X! "I have to go into berserker mode. I've always was able to increase my power temporarily. This happened when I got angry and belted Ranma into the sky. Now that I think about it, he allowed me to do that. However, while in this universe I've learned how to increase all my abilities and keep them at a high lever for a much longer time. It's kind of like Ranma's nekoken but more controlled."
The blows Kaneda dished out were sometimes lethal since he didn't have the ability to hold back while in berserker mode. He still had been cut a few times. If not for his iron body and gung fu training he'd have been seriously injured if not killed outright. As the ninjas went down, Kaneda turned his eyes to angrily to Takio and came running after him. Takio took off, running until he reached a large room that had several girls in it. Then he grabbed a girl who had blond hair and blue eyes. It was Martha Johnson!
"Get back, Kaneda, or I'll kill your student," Takio said threateningly.
While still in berserker mode, Kaneda screamed, "LET HER GO OR I'LL KILL YOU!"
Takio laughed. "I'll snap her neck like a twig if you come any closer. Here is your problem. You actually care about foreigners and worse than that, women. You actually think women are equal. Fool! Women are good for only one thing. You actually let a women's self defense class run in your dojo."
Kaneda glared at Takio but he calmed down because he needed to think. He then did some sign language. Martha knew sign language and complied with Kaneda's instructions.
All of a sudden, Martha escaped the hold, flipped Takio over and ran away from him! Then Kaneda zipped over towards Takio at lightning speed and grabbed him, violently shaking him. "That's right! I do believe in gender equality! I do train women seriously! Even if I was a woman I'd still be able to beat you up! You don't like equality deal with it!" Kaneda said as he gave Takio a Rodney King style beating.
"Um, Sensei?" Martha said meekly. "There are some other girls here. Some of them are tied up. Two of them are undercover policewomen who got caught by Takio's goons."
"All right," Kaneda said as he dropped Takio's limp form to the ground. "Show me where the policewomen and the other girls are."
In a few minutes, Kaneda and Martha freed the other girls. By either breaking their chains as Kaneda did or by using the keys Martha took from one of the guards who Kaneda had knocked out earlier. They eventually found the two undercover policewomen who were stripped down to their underwear and tied with their hands up behind their backs with four guys guarding them.
Once the guards were aware of Kaneda kicking the door down they attacked him drawing out their weapons. But Kaneda was a whole lot faster and quickly knocked them out with a roundhouse kick after using another kick to knock the guns out of their hands. "Natsumi and Miyuki?" Kaneda asked as he recognized and untied them.
"What are you doing here, Kaneda?" Natsumi asked gratefully.
"It's a long story. Why don't you call Inspector Ohara? There are a lot of unconscious men around here," Kaneda said in response.
Eventually the police showed up in force. After taking everyone's statement, they arrested Takio and his men. Even Mrs. Lee's daughters were found.
The media arrived and played up the whole event. Kaneda was made out to be the hero of the day, being displayed on the front page of every newspaper as the guy who busted a slave girl ring. This event made Kaneda an even more respected member of the community. And Nabiki had gotten it all on tape making some deals that made her some good money.

Later the next day, Kaneda went to the beach. His ten year old cousin, Miku also went with him. It would be Miku's birthday in a couple of days so Kaneda had agreed to let her have a pool party at his mansion.
"I remember how Ranma had a big fight with Cologne at this time. I think I'll involve myself in this. There was a watermelon smashing contest as well," Kaneda thought of the memory.
At that point, a voice from a loud speaker called out, "it's a race! It's an art! It's a war!" The announcer then explained the rules of the Melon Splitting contest which were splitting the melons of your opponents with a stick in your hand. The last one with an intact melon won, the prize being a kiss from Shampoo.
"I'll see what happens when I participate in this," Kaneda thought, grabbing a stick and melon and getting to work. He splitted several melons before Cologne took notice of him.
"If I'd have known you were going to be here I would have had Silk be the second place prize," Cologne said.
"I'm just here to have fun Cologne," Kaneda said as he split some more melons. Cologne then went to see to Ranma.
Eventually, both Akane and Shampoo were in front of Ranma's female form. As Kaneda stopped to see what would happen, Ranma went towards Akane and split Soun's melon. He popped right in front of Kaneda, trying to split his melon but Kaneda moved out of the way.
"It won't be that easy Ranma. Let's see what you've got." Ranma, Cologne and Kaneda were the only participants in the contest at this point.
"One day we'll have a real man to man fight but right now I'm going to split your melon. There's no way I'll let Akane marry a washed up stuntman like you," Ranma proclaimed while taking a swipe at Kaneda.
"I believe that's Akane's decision not yours Ranma. Maybe you should just go along with Shampoo and get what little manhood you had back. I have a big house, several martial arts classes and I'm now a respected member of the community. What can you offer Akane except for an alternative lifestyle?" Kaneda answered back.
"Why you!" Ranma yelled at Kaneda in rage.
"If Ranma loses his temper I'll win this contest. Maybe I'll impress Akane too," Kaneda surmised thoughtfully.
"You're awfully sensitive Ranma. I don't think you can stand up to a real man like me anyhow"
"I'll get you for that!" Ranma screamed in a rage.
"Just a little closer and I'll spit your melon, Ranma," Kaneda thought craftily.
But seemingly out of nowhere Cologne appeared and split Kaneda's melon. "As much as I would like to hear all your macho posturing, Shampoo is the prize here so Ranma must stay in this contest."
Oh well," Kaneda contemplated. "I know I would have taken him in time. I'll beat him next time."
Miku ran up to Kaneda excitedly. "That was cool, Kaneda. You almost won that one except that old lady surprised you."
"Yeah. I did all right."
Ranma and Cologne were still going at it, finally splitting their melons at the same time. Then they fought. The fight eventually ended up going to the ocean, Kaneda and Miku watching the event along with everybody else.
At one point Cologne appeared to be to be floating on the water. "A true martial artists master can find a foothold on a twig floating on the water," Soun said like a teacher instructing a student.
"Is that true, Kaneda?" Miku asked her cousin.
"No, not really. She is riding on a shark or a dolphin," Kaneda said with certainty. Soun turned and glared at him for a moment. But then the shark came jumping out of the water towards Ranma. "Uh huh," Kaneda said in confirmation.
Then Cologne blasted Ranma with a geyser of water.
"Oh, no! Ranma are you OK?!" Akane called out, running into the water to try to help him. But when she got there she sank like a lead weight.
"I better go help her." As soon as Kaneda had went into the water and carried her back to shore he applied mouth to mouth.
"Koff! Koff! You pervert!" she said as she slapped him.
"That worked out well," Kaneda thought as he regarded the hand print on his face.
"Isn't that what people are supposed to do when some one drowns?" Miku asked Kaneda.
"I wasn't drowning!" Akane exclaimed, turning towards the little girl with a little bit of embarrassment.
Then Ranma was sent flying into the arms of Shampoo. He had her climb on his back and took off to fight Cologne. He then went nekoken and defeated Cologne. While still being in nekoken he leaped towards the arms of Akane who reached out to him. Then he hissed at Kaneda.

Later, at the Tendo household, Kaneda showed up with Miku in tow. "Hey Akane, my cousin Miku is going to have her birthday party at my home. You want to come along to help me chaperon?" Kaneda asked using all the charm he could muster.
"Could you please, Miss Akane? You're such a wonderful martial artist. I was hoping you could show me some grappling maneuvers," Miku said while giving Akane puppy eyes.
"Well, okay," Akane said, flattered and blushing a little.
At this point Ranma showed up. "What are you trying to pull Kaneda? Making your little cousin lie about Akane being a great martial artist. Sheesh! Who do you think you're fooling anyhow?"
"Shut up Ranma! You can go to Shampoo for all I care. I would love to help you chaperon Miku's party," Akane complied happily.
"That's great. It's tomorrow at 5:00 p.m," Kaneda said happily.
"No problem," Akane answered.
When they were long gone from the Tendo home, Kaneda said to Miku, "good work dealing with Akane, Miku."
"Thanks Kaneda. So you are going to give me that bicycle I wanted for my birthday?" Miku asked.
"Of course I will." Kaneda said confidently.

At the party everything was going fine. "Thanks for showing up for my birthday party, Akane," Miku said bright eyed and bushy tailed. "And thanks for showing those grappling maneuvers."
"You're welcome, Miku. You have a great deal of potential, isn't that right, P-Chan?"
"Bweeee!"
Kaneda had an Olympic sized pool inside his mansion around which the party was taking place. Even Jan Akiyama, Kaneda's cousin, was cooking the food for Miku's party, the happy children swimming around brightened even his normally sour mood.
"Akane, this is my cousin Jan. Jan, this is Akane my fiancee," Kaneda said as he introduced them.
Jan Akiyama had an oval shaped, short cropped head. His eyes and teeth looked evil when he smiled while his slender body moved with the grace and speed of a well trained martial artist.
Akane greeted Jan. "Oh you're a master chef. I do some cooking, too."
"Well I'm sure you're a better cook than Kaneda. He's a lousy cook," Jan said with a laugh.
"Jan there's no need for you to put down my cooking. I know I'm not as good as you are," Kaneda answered.
"You got that right!" Jan said triumphantly with his canine teeth displayed prominently.
"Don't worry about Jan; he's always downing my cooking skills. I'm only an expert chef, while Jan is a master chef," Kaneda explained
"Really?" Akane asked with enthusiasm. "Do you think you could teach me to be a better cook?" "
"Sure, Akane," Kaneda answered. "If I help Akane feel better about herself, she'll find me more attractive," Kaneda calculated.
"Ooh, that's such a cute little pig. Can I hold him?" Miku asked Akane.
"All right. But be careful," Akane warned.
As Miku took P-Chan to the pool, Kaneda said, "you don't have to worry about P-Chan getting cold because the pool is heated." As soon as Kaneda said that, P-Chan flew out of Miku's arms just as she went into the water. He was then in Akane's arms again shaking nervously.
"Why did he do that?" Both Kaneda and Akane thought quizzically.
"Master Kaneda," Tetsuo, his butler said. "The entertainment is here."
"Go ahead and send them in," Kaneda ordered.
In came Ranma in female form and in disguise, dressed as a magician's assistant, wearing a sexy bunny outfit. Kaneda saw through the disguise quickly, as did Akane. Genma was also there in panda form.
"Go along with the plan, Pop, unless you want Akane to marry Kaneda. That guy is such an ass kisser," Ranma whispered to Genma as Genma nodded.
"I am the great Usagi! And now I'll have my panda do some tricks!" Genma jumped through hoops and did some other things, as the kids gasped in awe.
"Come on, old man! You have to move faster!" Ranma said during the next trick.
"Grrrrrr!"
"Move it!"
As Ranma became bossier, the two came to blows, the fight ending up in the heated pool returning them to their original forms.
"Ranma was disguised as a girl, and he was so convincing too. Is he gay?" Miku asked innocently.
Another kid cupped his hands to his lips and said, "hoooomo!"
One of the older kids there asked Ranma. "If I asked if you were gay, would you give me a straight answer?" As the kids laughed Ranma became livid.
"Old man this was your fault!" Ranma said in disgust.
"Boy, you were enjoying being a girl too much," Genma said with authority while the kids and everyone there continued to laugh.
"Now kids, let's not judge Ranma and his alternative lifestyle," Kaneda said trying not to laugh. "Besides he and his friend gave us a good show."
The party continued and Ranma left and returned with his usual clothes on. "Kaneda, what kind of idiot has his pool heated?" Ranma asked him with hostility.
"Hey it gets cold at night. You and I might be able to handle the cold but kids sometimes need to stay warm. What? You didn't know that?" Kaneda asked Ranma with sarcasm.
"What kind of question was that? Do you think I'm some kind of idiot?" Ranma asked with hostility.
"Well, I'd be a hypocrite to judge you after telling everyone not to judge you for your alternative lifestyle," Kaneda said, looking away askance.
"What?!" Ranma exclaimed as he walked up to Kaneda in a fit of rage.
"You got a problem, Ranma? Is there something you want to say to me?" Kaneda asked menacingly.
"Now guys!" Akane said stepping in between the two. "Don't fight here at Miku's birthday party." P-Chan looked back and forth at the two of them curiously as this was going on.
"You're right Akane. Well, Ranma do you and your boyfriend want something to eat? There's plenty of food."
"He's not my boyfriend; he's my father!" Ranma yelled indignantly. As he went to get something to eat, he thought, "I'll deal with you one day, Kaneda Akiyama."
"Anyway, Akane, how about me taking you on a date to a really nice restaurant?" Kaneda asked in a gentlemanly manner using all the charm he could muster.
"Well, um, I don't know. I'll have to think about it," she answered.
"Well whenever you're ready." Kaneda said graciously. "You know I think you are really cute, Akane." He moved in close to her when he said this, but not too close.
Akane blushed at this. "Hey you! What do you think you're doing? You wannabe Casanova!" Ranma said with anger as he pushed Kaneda into Akane.
Due to the surprise attack, Kaneda fell to the ground while being on top of Akane with his hands accidentally getting on Akane's chest. "Uh, oh!" "Akane, I'm sorry. It was an accident," Kaneda said, trying to placate the angry girl.
"KANEDA, YOU PERVERT!" !KAPOW! Because Kaneda's father had built the whole mansion to be highly resistant to earthquakes and martial artists who didn't know how to use a door, Kaneda bounced off of the ceiling and into the pool.
Kaneda had a look of consternation on his face as he got out of the water, but Ranma had a smirk on his face. The kids also had a big laugh over it. "Gee, Kaneda, looks like you're all wet," Ranma said with his mouth full of food.
"Towel, sir?" Tetsuo said in a butler like manner.
"Yeah, thanks Tetsuo." Kaneda said as he dried himself. "I really want to beat the stuffing out of Ranma so badly. But not now, some time later, I'm going to have to up my training; Ranma's no pushover."

A week later Ranma was beating up on Ryoga by a man made waterfall. Akane saw this and sent Ranma into the stratosphere while Kaneda watched. After Ranma had gone into the sky, Kaneda stepped up as Akane was trying to help Ryoga who was wrapped up like a pretzel.
"Here, Akane, I think I know what to do," Kaneda said as he gently untangled Ryoga. "There, good as new. Maybe you shouldn't fight with Ranma anymore, Ryoga. Ranma can be a real hard ass at times."
"What do you know about it, Kaneda? I'm not just satisfied with making jokes about Ranma the way you are!" Ryoga said indignantly.
"Ryoga? How did you know that? This is first time you've seen me," Kaneda asked looking quizzically at Ryoga. Akane also looked at Ryoga quizzically.
"I gotta go," Ryoga said as he fled.
"So, Akane, you thought about that date I asked you about?" Kaneda asked nicely.
"Um, I'll let you know, Kaneda," Akane said as she quickly left for home.
Kaneda noticed Akane's figure as she left. "No wonder so many guys wanted me before in my original universe. Seeing this Akane's physique from a man's perspective explains a lot. What am I thinking? I've been here as a man for too long," Kaneda thought to himself.
"You're dead, Aikyama!" Kaneda heard a voice ring out.
"Why do you say this, when you know I will beat you up for it?!" Kaneda answered back.
"I've been training hard. So prepare yourself!" Koga said in a rage.
"Right," Kaneda said as he easily evaded Koga'a attacks. "You know what? Your fighting ain't #$! And I spit on your number one hit!" Kaneda said contemptuously as he knocked Koga into the stratosphere.
"My hardcore training has paid off. I normally would not have been able to beat Koga so quickly. Speaking of training this is the time when Ryoga went into the wilderness to be trained by Cologne. It would be just my luck if Cologne trained Koga as well," Kaneda thought.
Some distance away Ryoga was punching a wall when he was hailed by Cologne. "I was thinking how I'd like to talk to you again."
"I was thinking the same thing," Ryoga answered. Just then Koga came crashing down near them.
"Kaneda, you bastard!" the man said in fustration.
"Are you talking about Kaneda Akiyama?" Cologne asked.
"Yeah? How did you know that?" Koga asked.
"I have a proposition for you," Cologne said. "Two birds with one stone."
"Listen old lady. You're much too shriveled up for me and way too old. I have no problem getting younger and hotter chicks." Once Koga said this, the diminutive amazon struck him with her walking stick.
"That's not what I meant! I'll train you so you can defeat Kaneda!" Cologne said in a huff.
"Oh! That's a horse of a different color. Yeah, sure. Why not?" Koga acquiesced.

In the wilderness area Kaneda was training much harder than usual; so much so that he was in great pain. Fortunately he knew how to recover quickly. "I'm pushing my zenchi to the limit. It normally raises my abilities bit by bit, but with the way I'm training now I'm increasing by a great deal, but I can't train like this every day. I've dangerously gone beyond my limit as it is."
"It was lucky for me Kim Kaphwan and his family couldn't find a decent hotel again. He agreed to take over my tae kwon do classes while he's living in my mansion. The other teachers I have working for me can easily handle my other classes for a while."
Suddenly, his danger sense went off and he barely dodged Cologne's attempt to poke him with her walking stick. "That was very good, Kaneda, even Ranma didn't dodge that attack. I see you have been training hard. Try not to train too hard. I'm training an old friend of yours. Ta ta," Cologne said as she flew off.
What was that about?" Kaneda thought, being bewildered over what had just occured. "Is she talking about Ryoga?"
XXX
Kaneda had seen the fight Ranma had had with Ryoga. However, when Ranma and Ryoga went over the cliff, Cologne knocked Akane out and carried her, coming in his direction!
"What's going on? That didn't happen before. It should all be over," Kaneda said out loud.
"It's not over not yet anyhow," Koga said, appearing in front of Kaneda. "I'm new and improved, bigger, better and badder!" Cologne had finally gotten there with the unconscious Akane, tying her up to a tree.
"Well, here is your opponent, Kaneda. I believe you have already met. Akane is the prize in this contest. Winner takes all," Cologne said matter of factually.
"Kiss your bitch good bye, Kaneda," Koga said as he attacked. Kaneda evaded but when he hit Koga the blow bounced off.
"So that's it. I'm going to have to hit him hundreds of times in order to take him out."
Koga had improved greatly in speed as well. "Tenshin amaguriken!" he yelled as he struck Kaneda with his bladefist dozens of times in less than a second.
"He's not as fast as Ranma. Come to think of it; he's not as fast as me but I'm starting to feel it being hit with his bladefist so many times even with my gung fu and iron body. If I don't think of something soon, he'll wear me down," Kaneda thought with concern.
At this point they were going toe to toe fighting in a dragonball z manner with hundreds of punches, kicks blocks, and counters going off. However, Kaneda was using his feet much more with low rapidfire wing chun kicks. He then grappled Koga with a combination of wrestling and jui jitsu. Once he had Koga pinned he put him in a sleeper hold. But Koga somehow managed to throw Kaneda off of him and into a tree.
Koga then went to Akane. "I don't know if I can beat you or not but I'll kill your bitch, Kaneda," the darkly clad martial artist said with a sneer. However, before he could get any closer to her, Kaneda stomped on the ground creating a shockwave that made Koga stumble. Kaneda then sped over to Koga and charged into him slamming him into another tree.
While Kaneda punted Koga into the stratosphere, Ranma and Ryoga had finally arrived to where Kaneda and Akane were. "Maybe Kaneda is not as inferior to Ranma as I thought," Cologne said to no one in particular, being impressed with Kaneda's abilities.
Kaneda walked over to Akane, broke her bonds and used shiatsu to wake her up, Akane waking up in his arms. "Kaneda, what's going on here?" Akane said with a yawn.
"Hey, Kaneda, get your hands off Akane!" Ranma ordered. As Kaneda put Akane down gently, Ryoga looked at Kaneda with some hostility. Kaneda turned to Cologne saying, "what's the meaning of all this?"
"I wanted to see how you and Ranma handled adversity. You both handled things well. My work is done here," Cologne cackled, flying off into the air.
"Who was that guy you were fighting anyway?" Ryoga asked Kaneda.
"His name is Koga Kentaro. He blames me for all his problems and keeps showing up prompting me to keep beating him up," Kaneda answered calmly. "He's bad news Ryoga. You're a nice guy so I suggest you stay away from him."
"If he threatens Akane again I'll take him apart." Ryoga said with conviction.
"He sounds familiar," Ranma said looking at Ryoga who simply looked askance.
"You guys have no problem getting home right?" Kaneda asked. "Akane would you like a ride home?"
"But how?" she asked. "You don't even have a vehicle with you."
"I'll show you." Kaneda picked up Akane, swung his hammer into the air and flew off with her.
"Gasp!" As they got higher and higher into the sky Akane saw the ground grow more and more distant and felt the wind in her hair.
Ranma and Ryoga looked on in shock and awe. "How did he do that?" they both thought as they face faulted.

Cologne had seen Kaneda take off with Akane. "Full of surprises, aren't you Kaneda?" She then went to the Nekohanten where Mousse, Shampoo and Silk were working.
"How it go Great-grandmother?" Shampoo asked with Silk and Mousse looking on with interest.
"Both Ranma and Kaneda are worthy of our tribe. And Kaneda is not as inferior to Ranma as I thought. I still think Ranma is superior, but Kaneda is a very close second."
"Now, Silk, this is very important. You have not given Kaneda the kiss of marriage so you have no real claim on him. So you only have as much time as it takes for Shampoo to get Ranma. But if you succeed in getting Kaneda to marry you. Well, it would behoove Shampoo as future leader of our tribe to have her children marry your children. Ranma and Kaneda hybrids would be beneficial to the tribe. If this happens your family's position would rise substantially," Cologne explained.
"Oh, I get Kaneda as husband right away!" Silk yelled in anticipation with Mousse hearing all of it.
"First Ranma, then Kaneda; I need to destroy them both," Mousse schemed.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: I am going to concentrate more on Kaneda's interaction with the Nerima Wrecking Crew as opposed to Street Fighter and King of Fighters characters. These characters will still show up and be remarked on but not as much as before.
When I say someone is fighting in a Dragonball z manner that means they are going toe to toe hitting each other with countless punches and kicks. Much like they do on Dragonball z.
Thanks for all the reviews. If there are any questions, send me a review. I'll try to answer them.
