I don't own Ranma 1/2 or KHR!
Quick Note: Sorry about the wrong upload, yesterday. It was fixed almost immediately when I received a PM. Thank you foxchick1! How funny that I received the PM, before 2 reviews that were left about the mistake. Huh, guess that might be the best way to get things changed quickly, in case it happens again.
Fiancees & Piglets
Nana stopped laughing the minute Tsuna mentioned her boyfriend, "Tsuyoshi is here?"
"Yep! He's waiting in the other room. So, Reborn, can you teach me that technique?" Tsuna asked the slightly stunned hitman.
"No. That is not one that I'm familiar with, and you prefer to use your hands over a weapon, as does Ranma," Reborn pulled his hat down to cover his eyes. He would never admit to Tsuna or anyone that he was a bit annoyed he didn't know Soun's technique, but maybe he could pick something up from watching it more?
"Akane uses it, too," Ranma added. "But I doubt she'd teach it to a boy."
"Darn," Tsuna pouted, before looking back over, "Mama, he's in the room to the right..."
Nana got to her feet and hurried out of the room. Nodoka watched her go, a bit worried, "Will she be all right?"
"Mama will be fine. It's Takashi I'm more worried about..." Tsuna muttered in slight annoyance.
Nana wasn't sure if she should be excited or worried that her boyfriend was here and didn't call her to let her know of his visit, "Tsuyoshi, is everything all right?"
"Everything is well, Nana," Tsuyoshi pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips gently.
"I missed you," Nana murmured softly, as they both pulled away from the kiss.
"I missed you, as well. How goes the quest to help young Ranma?" Tsuyoshi asked curiously.
"Nodoka, Ranma's mom, is in the process of kicking Genma, Ranma's pops, to the curb. Reborn already delivered the papers he wrote, and one of Ranma's fiancee's has agreed to become adopted into the Saotome Clan, after Genma is severed from the family. We're going to call Mammon and ask for their assistance in Amazons and crazy people, but we may have a solution if Nodoka joins the tribe... After that, we still have to figure out what to do with Hibiki Ryoga, the Tendo's, and the old pervert..."
"SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Nana turned towards the pig squeal. It was in Tsuyoshi's pocket, oddly enough, "Tsuyoshi, why is there a piglet in your pocket?"
"I thought he might make an excellent companion for the dogs or Chrome-chan..." Tsuyoshi pulled out a black piglet with a yellow bandanna with black rectangles.
"Hello, P-chan," Nana picked up the piglet from Tsuyoshi's pocket. "Tsuyoshi, meet Hibiki Ryoga in his cursed form, P-chan. P-chan, I am Nanashi Nana and this is my boyfriend, Yamamoto Tsuyoshi, a famous chef. Now, do I have your full attention, Hibiki?"
The little black piglet nodded up and down in fear. He'd been picked up by a chef!
"Good. Now, I plan to make Ranma's life less complicated, and if you listen to me, yours as well. Would you like some help with your piglet and directional curse?"
Nana questioned him, dangling a tasty carrot in front of a now open mouthed and shocked piglet, who quickly turned into a crying piglet, nodding his assented *Yes* emphatically!
"Very well. Tsuyoshi, could you go see if Takashi has another set of clean clothes? We'll get him more, later," Nana asked her boyfriend and Guardian.
"Yes. So, you're saying he's human?" Tsuyoshi raised an eyebrow.
"He has a lot to answer for, but we'll see what we can do to help him. Please bring some warm water, too," Nana eyed Ryoga speculatively. Tsuyoshi nodded and left to get the items Nana had requested. "You, and I are going to have a little talk about responsibility, young man."
Ryoga's eyes went wide, even in their teary state, "Squee?"
"Yes, you. Do you think it's fair to not let Tendo Akane know that you are a human boy? You're taking advantage of her, just like you always accused Ranma of doing. I am referring to the baths. Now, let's not forget that you also conned Ranma into an unfair promise. You made him promise not to tell Akane. So, if we help you, you will be the one to tell her..."
"Oink!" Ryoga responded angrily.
"No. I need you to see the big picture, Ryoga. You are abusing your relationship with Akane and with Ranma. You're a hypocrite. Once you start to think about it, you'll see the truth. Now, I will be going over this, step by step with you, once you've returned to human form. You will listen, or I won't get the partial cure we have for the water magnet part of the curse," Nana was being very firm with the hard-headed piglet. In fact, if anyone else had come into the room and seen her talking to a piglet, they would have thought her mad! At least, if they weren't from Namimori or Nerima.
"Here," Tsuyoshi returned with the clothes and a kettle of warm water.
"I'm going to step out while you help him dress, dear," Nana put the piglet on a chair, and pecked Tsuyoshi on the cheek. "Pour a spot of warm water on his head and let me know when to come back in. Don't let him leave the room, he's directionally challenged."
Tsuyoshi nodded and waited until she closed the door behind her, "Don't try to run away. It wouldn't be that hard to track you down."
That's when he poured the warm water on the piglet, and watched it change into a naked boy, "Ha! How would you be able to track me?! I always get lost and..."
"Put some clothes on, kid," Tsuyoshi threw the clothes at Ryoga with snort. "Also, don't try anything funny. You won't like the consequences."
Ryoga huffed in annoyance, but quickly put on the clothes, thankful to be out of piglet form and to have clean underwear, "I'm decent!"
"Tsuyoshi?" Nana called through the door.
"He is," Tsuyoshi chuckled. "Trust is earned, kid. Have a seat."
Ryoga rolled his eyes but sat down on the chair, again, just as Nana came in.
"So, looks like Takashi's clothes fit better than what Tsuna's would. Now, Ryoga, are you ready for our enlightening chat?" Nana smiled serenely, which set every alarm bell in Ryoga's head, but he nodded and remained seated. "Good. Now, let's start with how long Ranma waited for you..."
When Nana was done, and had made her point to Ryoga, the piglet cursed martial artist was in a shocked but slightly horrified state. Tsuyoshi had taken him to another room, that Tsuna happened to be in, to recover. Then, Tsuyoshi returned to Nana.
"This wasn't how I thought our reunion would go," Tsuyoshi grumbled, in annoyance.
"Ryoga does have one of those tendancies," Nana shrugged. "I did miss you, Yoshi."
"I missed you too. Now, I meant to ask you... if you would... Well... I... Um... Like to go to dinner with me?" Tsuyoshi blushed.
"I'd love to, Yoshi," Nana hopped up from her chair and hugged him. "Where to?"
"Um..." Tsuyoshi held up a flyer advertising for Ucchan's.
Nana chuckled, "It's a date!"
A bit later...
Tsuyoshi looked semi-annoyed with the fact that everyone, even Ryoga, had tagged along to eat with them.
Ukyo was making the food in the back, and had yet to see Ranma, but the shape shifter was taking their large group order... The shape-shifter glared at Ranma, until Nana raised an eyebrow at him and addressed him and one other... "Tsubasa, Taro, enough. Taro, Ranma is not responsible for your issues, Happosai is. If you stick with us and stop being a sneak, we'll make sure that you're a part of taking him down. Tsubasa, Ukyo has officially joined the Saotome Clan, by adoption. It wasn't Ranma's fault, but his fathers. His father is soon to be cast out of the Saotome Clan. So, enough being sneaky perverts and obsessive prats, got it? Good."
Tsubasa blinked in surprise, but just went with it being the truth. He'd never met this lady, but something about her told him not to ignore her on pain of death, "Very well, ma'am."
"If it pleases the lady," Taro mumbled as he morphed into another chair.
"It does," Nana smiled. "Now, Ranma, what would you like to eat?"
"Um, I'd like the Special..." Ranma blinked in surprise, as he had just watch Nana defend him against two people she didn't even know personally. It was an amazing feeling.
"I think I'd like that as well. What about the rest of you?" Nana asked.
Once their orders were in, Tsuyoshi decided... "Enough is enough. Nana, I've waited a while but I feel that we may never get another quiet moment together... So, here it is... Nanashi Nana, formerly Sawada Nana... Would you do me the honor of marrying this silly sushi chef?"
Nana's jaw popped open in shock! Tsuyoshi had taken her hand in his, and was on his knee, per western tradition... It took a moment for her to gather herself as she looked around at her friends and family in surprise, as they all smiled at her. Her gaze returned to Tsuyoshi, "Yes. Yes! Silly chef! However, it will have to be a long engagement..."
"Of that I agree, my cute little fiancee," Tsuyoshi chuckled as he swept Nana onto his raised knee and kissed her senseless, heedless of the cheering and jeering of the rest of the restaurant and their friends.
All in all, it was a wonderful thing to happen before dinner! And if you looked behind a few cheering people, you'd see Tsuna and Takashi high-fiving before hugging in a brotherly embrace, both with the widest grins ever on their faces.
If only they had looked back at Ukyo's thoughtful face as she stared at the boys with Ranma. They were quite good-looking, after all...
