A/N: Burning frost has given me permission to take over that is all.

Hi everyone I'm back.

Don't worry some of the scenes will happen in present time meaning when Ranma is not writing anything at all as it is happening to him right at that moment.

NOTE Ranma's Jusenkyo curse is non-existent. If you don't like it then I apologize, for your lack of originality. Click back anytime you wish.

Also the Amazons' names will be spelled in the English interpretations of their names.

i.e. Shanpu = Shampoo

so note that although I am using English spelling I want readers to sound it out as Japanese would. (I will make a list of how to pronounce each of their names at the end of the chapter.

Disclaimer: I give all claims to Rumiko Takahashi

Ranma sighed as he sat down in the middle of a clearing in a forest near the district. "Finally…some peace and quiet." He mumbled to himself as he lay down on the soft grass and sighed once more. Tiredly Ranma watched the clouds roll by as he thought on what had recently happened. "Can't believe it…Ucchan is a girl…" he mumbled audibly as he pulled out his journal and began to write.

Day 21

"Everyone I have an announcement to make." Their homeroom teacher stated as he wrote it down on the board. "We have a new transfer student from the Osaka area. Please be nice to…" he let the statement hang obviously urging the new student who had yet to enter reveal themselves.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all!" the apparently male student shouted as he suddenly cooked up enough okonomiyaki to feed the entire class sending the last one right at Ranma's face which he idly caught and ate gratefully.

In the midst of his peers compliments to the new student Ranma glanced at the ceiling trying to figure where he had eaten such good okonomiyaki before. "I know this taste…ah, I know this flavor!" he shouted as he pointed at the new student excitedly.

"Saotome Ranma I see you haven't forgotten our past. Prepare yourself!" the boy shouted as he began to fling numerous spatulas at the pigtailed boy who easily leapt over them all as he closed in on the new student who stepped back in surprise.

"You're Kuonji Ukyo right?" Ranma asked excitedly as he got right in the other teen's face. Warily the boy nodded his head as he slowly reached for the giant spatula on his back.

"I am…don't tell me you've forgotten about me." He stated in slight anger. He was in no way, shape or form ready for what Ranma did next.

"Ucchan! It's so good to see you again buddy! What's it been…ten years?" after pulling the shorter boy into a bear hug Ranma had begun to ask question after question about how Ukyo had been that it left everyone dumbfounded. "By the way…how's your Otou-san doing with the cart?"

"You guys stole my cart remember?" Ukyo asked angrily as he poked Ranma in the chest.

Ranma blinked in surprise "You mean you didn't know?" he asked curiously

"Know what?" Ukyo asked still angry.

Ranma chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head "I mailed a replacement cart to your house about two years after we left." He stated calmly

Ukyo blinked in surprise "What…I don't remember that ever happening. Are you sure you sent it to the right place?"

Ranma nodded his head in a positive "Yeah I felt bad after realizing Oyaji stole your family cart so I secretly did odd jobs for the various nice people I met and bought the materials needed to build a new cart and sent it to your house in Osaka. I even got a thank you card from Kuonji-san."

Ukyo, along with the entire class, blinked in surprise. "You did?" was the single question floating through all of their minds.

Ranma nodded his head. "Yeah I did."

Ukyo glanced at the teacher "Can I go use the phone?" he asked calmly despite the surge of emotions swirling around his mind.

The teacher nodded his head "Go right ahead Kuonji-san." He stated knowing full well that Ukyo need to do this.

Ukyo slowly made his way out of the room after saying his thanks to the teacher who immediately declared it free study as he went to report what he had heard to the other teachers.

"Hey Ranma was all of that true?" Akane asked as she walked up to question him.

"Hm? Oh yeah…it's all true even the thank you letter I have it right here." He pulled out a card from his shirt pocket and showed it to her. It read 'Dear Ranma, thank you for the materials I have already started building our new cart in secret. I plan on surprising Ukyo when it's done. However, I do not believe this gift of yours will be enough to placate Ukyo who took your departure very badly as Genma had promised to take Ukyo along with you. Sincerely Kuonji Utakyo'

Akane who had read it aloud smiled softly "Well what do you know? You can be nice when you want to." She and many others chuckled

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ranma asked slightly put off, before he shrugged "Anyways it looks like there was some more but it got smudged and I couldn't read it." He indicated the bottom of the letter which indeed had a few blotches here and there and was completely illegible.

Before anymore could be said the tell-tale signs of running could be heard as the door slammed open and Ukyo jumped forward and hugged Ranma tightly. "Thank you!" being shouted over and over again.

Unfortunately for Ranma Ukyo's hugs of joy suddenly turned into a choke hold as Ukyo wrapped his legs around him and applied a basic choke that unless done incorrectly would have him out like a light in ten seconds flat. "Just because you gave us back our cart doesn't mean I forgive you for ditching me in the middle of the road like that!" he shouted angrily.

"Hey…didn't Kuonji's voice just sound a bit higher than earlier?" Hiroshi asked as he pointed at the shorter teen.

Ranma struggled a bit and was able to gain some breathing room "Oh come on I didn't even know you were supposed to come with us! At first I thought you were just sad because we were leaving. After I realized what Oyaji did to you guys I thought you were trying to stop him from taking the cart."

Unfortunately for Ukyo all of Ranma's struggling was rubbing him in very stimulating spots. Not only that but the medical tape around his hest was about to be undone. Boing

Ranma paused at the sudden sensation "Boing?" he whispered softly though Ukyo heard him and blushed. "Ucchan…you were a girl?" he asked hesitantly the soft feeling being pushed into the back of his head giving him a gut feeling.

Ukyo blushing bright red hopped off his back and looked away from him "So what if I'm a girl!" she barked at him as she crossed her arms and turned away.

Akane glanced at Ukyo's chest. "Yeah…definitely a girl." She stated causing Ukyo to blush once more as Ranma began to play with his pigtail in an embarrassed fashion.

"Well…uh…you've become…cute…Ucchan." He stammered immediately sending the girls in the class into an uproar.

"How come she gets called cute and we don't?" they shouted at him as they all surrounded him.

"Just because you complimented me doesn't mean I'll forgive you." Ukyo stated as she glanced at him trying to ignore the mass of women vying for his attention.

Ranma grimaced "What can I do to make it up to you?" he asked trying to renew their friendship.

Ukyo blushed and looked away "You…promise…." She trialed off mumbling things Ranma couldn't hear.

"Sorry could you say that again?" he asked as he jumped away from the mass of girls to land next to Ukyo who stated just a bit louder.

"You…keep…parents'…promise." She stated again only to end up mumbling most of it.

Ranma blinked in surprise before trying to urge her to say it more clearly. "I said you could keep the promise your Oyaji made to mine!"

Ranma instinctively took a step back. "Before I say anything else…could you remind me of said promise?"

Ukyo shyly nodded her head. "Our parents…arranged our marriage." THUMP Ukyo glanced at the source f the noise only to realize that Ranma had passed out on the floor. "Ran-chan?" she asked reverting back to her old way of referring to him.

Break

Ranma chuckled to himself "yeah…that wasn't one of my better moments." He admitted to himself. "Still…I was surprised how well Nabiki took all of this."

Day 21 cont.

When he had woken up Ranma was in the school infirmary, he immediately noted the two girls in the room with him. "Nabiki, Ucchan?" He asked warily knowing that Nabiki liked trying to cuddle in these kinds of situations.

Ukyo seemed to color slightly as she looked away "Sorry about before Ranma I didn't know you'd react like that." She apologized before grasping his hand. "Please don't be mad at me."

Ranma smiled softly "Don't worry I'm not mad." He turned to Nabiki who was smirking down at him. "What?" he asked defensively

"How are you feeling?" she asked her smirk never leaving her face.

Warily Ranma tried to get up only to realize that hiss body couldn't move. "Why can't I move?" he asked nervously.

"The nurse said it was due to the shock of your engagement to Ukyo-san here." Nabiki stated as she jabbed a thumb in Ukyo's direction. "She said it'd take a few hours for you to regain mobility." Nabiki's smirk widened when his eyes widened. "You guessed it! I get free cuddle time!" she cheered as she jumped over him and got under the covers and began to snuggle up to him.

"Pervert." Ranma muttered as he tried to move to no avail.

Ukyo couldn't help but giggle as she watched the two interact. Once her giggles subsided she smiled softly and gently squeezed Ranma's hand. "Hey Ran-chan." He glanced up at her silently asking 'what?' "Would you mind if I laid down on your other side?" she asked.

Ranma didn't answer instead opting to look away as a blush covered his face. Ukyo smiled ad took it as a no. "Thanks Ran-chan." She stated as she slipped into the covers and looped his arm around her body. "You know…when I was younger I used to have dreams of doing something like this." She said after a few minutes of silence.

Not one to be outdone Nabiki grasped his other hand and placed it around herself like Ukyo had done. Ranma, in the middle of two girls, couldn't help but think 'This feels kind of nice.' Upon realizing what was going through his own head Ranma mumbled to himself "Maybe this is what I'm looking for." He mused to himself unconsciously rubbing both girls' sides with his fingers, the effects of his earlier fainting case wearing off slowly.

"Hey Ranma-kun…" Ranma turned his head towards Nabiki who seemed to be in thought. "Why don't you respond to my advances?" she asked slowly as if unsure of herself, a direct contrast to the Nabiki that he knew.

Ranma sighed 'I guess telling her might be a good idea' he concluded after a few minutes to think. "Ever since I was maybe ten or so I've always seemed to attract the attention of women. Younger, older, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, you name it it's like I was a literal chick magnet. Even in an all boys school they followed me, using their family members to get close to me. At first I thought it was kind of nice, all of the attention I mean." He paused trying to form the words he wanted to say. "But, after a while I noticed why they started pursuing me. Some of them wanted something other girls can't have, others wanted a trophy husband, and most… most just wanted screw… or at least that's how they put it… Age didn't matter to them, status didn't matter either. Since most of the girls I've met simply wanted to screw me I developed a rather strong dislike of women who seemed to be the same way."

Nabiki frowned "So you've never met a woman who was just affectionate like me? Cause you know my clinginess is a sign of affection. Then again if you asked…I wouldn't say no."

"Yeah Ran-chan that's kind of hard to believe." Ukyo added reminding the other two that they weren't alone.

"Believe it or not that was the case. The girls I met knew I wasn't going to stay for very long, my Oyaji's reputation is very well known I assure you. In short none of them ever bothered trying to get to know me and went straight for the bedroom…or the wedding hall one or the other."

Ukyo and Nabiki shared a glance before nodding their heads and snuggled closer to him. "It's okay Ranma-kun." Nabiki began as she rested her head on his chest.

"We'll make sure to treat you right. You're not some prize to be won, not to us you're the man who may have captured our hearts. So please don't push us away." She mumbled as she too rested her head on his chest. Not long after both girls fell asleep smiling softly.

Ranma sighed "I…I guess I could give them a chance…" he muttered still unsure about the whole thing. But if Nabiki grabs my ass again I'm still going to smack her upside the head."

Content with this line of thinking Ranma slowly allowed himself to drift off to sleep.

Break

Ranma set his pencil down and glanced around the clearing. "Of course the first thing I woke up to was Nabiki laying on top of me and Ukyo had somehow shifted around so that she was snuggled into the crook of my neck." He muttered idly rubbing his neck where Ukyo had accidentally licked him. "So not writing about that." He stated with conviction as he put everything away.

Once everything was packed away in his pockets Ranma had to jump away from the clearing "Oh come on…" he groaned once the familiar purple hair of Shampoo made itself known. "Leave me alone I'm not marrying you!"

"Airen wait!" she shouted as she and her warrior comrades gave chase.

End

Okay I hope everyone liked this chapter I may or may not do some of the various situations that Ranma had gotten himself into during the canon storyline. However, for the purposes of this story he'll meet the main characters first. So the next person he meets will be Kodachi and then the real fun can begin.

Again there is a poll on my profile please take the time to take a look.
