Soun and Genma arrived at the local pub. Both wanted to know who the guy is here for. From what Akane told them, he might be a new suitor for Akane. They opened the door and went straight to the bar. A tall dark haired guy with two earrings in his right ear looked at both of them and smiled.

"Welcome back Genma and Soun. What will it be this time?" Asked the bartender

"Just two beers Haruka. We are here on business." Said Soun

"Oh really! Care to tell me?" asks Haruka

"Well we need information from you anyways. You see there is this guy named Toshi who is here looking for his Fiance. He said the girl he is gonna marry is supposed to own a dojo and be the youngest. Do you have any ideas?" Asks Genma

"Sounds like another fiance for your Daughter, Akane, Soun. Hm. I have heard of a Toshi. From what i could remember and heard, he had to go on a trip to America a while ago to take care of some personal business before coming back here. He came back with two American Women who were really cute. They opened and own the new coffee shop down the street called 'The fighting nun'. He seems really nice. His father was from around here before he died. His fathers last name is Montara. Hm thats all I know for now. Sorry. If I hear anymore, I will let you know. Oh we got some customers, Please excuse me." Said Haruka

Genma and Soun turn to eachother and nod. They put money down on the counter and left the bar. They head toward 'the fighting nun' without word. As they opened the door they were greeted by a perky Blonde haired woman.

"Welcome to the 'fighting nun' I am your host, Sakana. Would you like to sit in the smoking or non smoking section?"

"Hi Sakana and we would like to see Toshi Montara. We need to talk to him please." Said Genma

"I do believe that Toshi is not here. May is ask what this is about?" Asks Lorene as she walks up to them.

Genma blushed at Lorene. Lorene smiled and bowed.

"It is a personal matter. Do you know where he went?" Asks Soun

Both Lorene and Sakana look at eachother before turning back to Soun and Genma

"At the moment, we do not know where he is. But we would be glad to relay any message you have for him." Said Lorene

"Thanks. I guess. Do you have any paper." Said Soun

"Here you go." Said Sakana

Soun scribbles down a quick message and hands it to Lorene. Lorene puts it into her pants pocket without looking and smiles at the customers.

"Now would you fine Gentlemen like to try our latest dish? Its called Philly cheese steak. It is really good. Or would you like some wine and some cheese?." Said Lorene

Soun and Genma look at eachother and smile. They both nod and take their seats. Lorene nods to Sakana and walks to the back of the resturant. There she pulls out the note and quickly reads it before gabbing her phone and sending a quick text before going to the chief and telling him what to make. Her phone goes off a minute later and she checks it for a second before grabbing their food and heading back into the dinning room to Gemna and Souns table. They were currently enjoying some fine red wine and some cheese and were chatting it up with Sakana. Sakana bowed to them once she saw Lorene and went to another table to serve them. Lorene served them their food and then pulled out a chair and turned to them.

"I hope you are enjoying your wine and here is your food." Said Lorene

"Yes we are dear lady. Where did you get this wine! Its better than Sake" Said Genma

"Oh that wine is actually comes from where me and Sakana live. Our state is famous for its cheese and everybody knows that cheese goes great with wine. The wine came from a vineyard in a different state. Toshi just happened to pick some up before we came to Nermia. We have given the wine to most customers and they seem to love it so now we work with a special vineyard in the United States and get our wine from there." Said Lorene

"Wow. Is there any way to get some of this wine to go! I would love for my family to try it!" Asks Soun

"Of course! That is no problem! It will cost you 60 yen though." Said Lorene

"That is fine. Thanks! mmm This Philly Cheese steak is yummy too" Said Soun

"No problem and I am glad you like the Philly cheese steak. Now i sent a text message to Toshi and he wanted me to tell you that he wants to know what business it is of yours? He knows you are concerned with your daughter, but he doesnt believe that your daughter is the one he is to marry. Do you remember ever talking to a guy by the name of Ratine Montara?" Asks Lorene

"No i really dont. But alot has happened in this life that involves my daughter, so that i cant help but wonder if it was my daughter he was supposed to marry." Said Soun

"Understandable sir. But you need not worry! From what he told me and Sakana before we ended our journey and came with him here to Nermia, was that she was a dark haired girl who loved to cook. Toshi and her used to play before this other guy and his son came into the girls fathers life and took their cart and made a promise to the girls father that their kids will marry. Well the father couldnt wait so he made the promise with Toshi's father after the others left. Now Toshi and his dad had to move and never saw them again. Toshi doesnt remember anything about that dark haired girl but he is going to be looking for her. He is sorry to have worried you." Said Lorene

"No that is alright. But that story sounds familiar. Genma didn't you and Ranma take Ukyo's fathers cart when he was little?" Asks Soun

"Yes that does sound familiar. Hm could it be her?"

"You believe the girls name is Ukyo?" Asks Lorene

"Yes it seems like her." Said Genma

"Great! Let me just get a text out to Toshi and then you can have whatever you want from here for free. Im sure Toshi wont mind-"

"Wait Lorene. Before you text Toshi. We would like him to help us." Said Soun

"Help you with what?" Asks Lorene

"Getting out two kids together." Said Soun

"Why would he want to help you out with that? I dont understand?" Asks Lorene

"Well if he helps us out with our kids, and if our kids get married, the pact between Ukyo and Ranma will be nulled and Ukyo could marry Toshi." Said Soun

"Hm..Let me see what Toshi says." Said Lorene as she pulls out her phone.

Lorene texts Toshi and then sets her phone down. Genma takes another sip of his wine and grabs some more cheese. The phone goes off and Lorene picks it up. She pushes a button and listens before saying goodbye and hanging up. She turns back to Genma and Soun.

"Toshi is happy to know the name of his long lost Fiance Ukyo. He will help you two out with your kids. He wants to meet you two tomorrow night here after we close at 10pm. Is that okay?" Asks Lorene

"Yes we will be here tomorrow night. Thanks!" Said Soun

"Great. Now let me get you two bottles of wine, free of course and eat whatever you want. Its on the house." Said Lorene as she gets up

Soun and Genma stuff their faces and drinks some wine before walking home with 4 bottles of wine and two doggy bags full of food. Lorene and Sakana watch as the two stumble home.

"Are you sure Toshi said they could have four free bottles?" Asks Sakana

"Yes he did. For he now knows who he is looking for. Thanks to them two."

"Thats great. Toshi can finally be happy. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go home to Sakuya." Said Sakana

"Night Sakana. Good work today as always." Said Lorene as she turns around and closes up.

Toshi paced back in forth in his hotel room. He now knows who he is looking for. He walks to his dresser and pulls out an old picture of him, a little girl and another little boy. He smiles and runs his fingers over the little girl's face.

"Soon Ukyo we will be married as promised. Just wait for me, my love for I must get rid of your other suitor." Said Toshi

(AN: Okay so what do you think! Good so far! Hope you enjoy and review! Btw, the 'fighting nun is my dedication to the creator of Ranma and Inuyasha. If you havent figured it out.)
