' Memory '

"You mean you actually have money?" Ranma asked Genma as he looked at his father suspiciously.

"Well no. I was hoping you could help with that." Genma said before he splashed them with cold water. {What are you waiting for?}

"I know I'm going to regret this." Ranma-chan mumbled as she shouldered Genma's pack along with her own because as he put it.

{What panda would be carrying a pack?}

"You just want to be lazy old man." Ranma-chan admonished.

{Precisely}

"You didn't have to confirm it." Ranma-chan yelled as she beat Genma over the head.

{Don't be that way} flip {Just get us on that boat}

"Ingrate." She mumbled as she went up to the ticket booth.

"How many?" The ticket booth operator asked

"One girl and a Panda." Ranma-chan said as she plunked down some of the yen that Genma had hidden away in his pack.

"Passenger and Cargo." The guy wrote as he handed her her ticket. "Take your animal to the dock over there to be crated till arrival at your destination."

Nodding Ranma-chan hurried to the dock so she didn't have to listen to Genma.

{That was uncalled for}

"Now Mr. panda be a good boy and cooperate." Ranma-chan said her voice dripping sweetness as the dock workers put straw and bamboo into the crate.

{I'll get you for this} Genma's sign read as the crate was loaded.

"Now to relax." Ranma-chan said as she slumped into her seat and promptly fell asleep.

'How did she find my secret stash?' Genma asked himself as he munched on bamboo in the hold. 'Furthermore what did I do to deserve this treatment?' Thinking for minute some of the things he had done to and through his child came to mind causing him to shudder. 'I guess I do deserve it.'

Roughly three hours into the trip someone got the bright idea that he would go through a defenseless girls luggage.

"Touch that and you die." Ranma-chan said her eyes still closed.

'How does she know?' The would be thief asked himself as he backed away not wanting to test her just yet. 'I'll wait till she's asleep.' What he wasn't aware of was that she was indeed asleep.

An hour passed and he couldn't tell whether she was sleeping or not. 'Screw this I'll just kill her and take her possessions.' He thought as he dropped his disguise to reveal that he was a lizard demon.

As expected there were screams among the passengers when they saw the demon.

"Pitiful humans." He hissed out as he approached Ranma-chan his teeth and claws bared.

"Say goodbye little girl." He hissed out with a smug look on his face.

"You first." Ranma-chan said as an orb of blue light appeared in her hand.

"Oh crap." The demon said as Ranma-chan hit him with her ki dissolving him.

Cheers where heard throughout the cabin as people popped up off the ground where they were hiding.

"Now I've done it." Ranma-chan mumbled as she tried to disappear into her seat. Another hour passed before her fellow passengers calmed down enough to take their seats and quit thanking her.

"I've got to eat something or I'm going to starve." Ranma-chan said as her stomach growled in agreement.

"Please feel free to choose whatever you from the menu. On the house." The manager of the Cafe said. "Think of it as our thanks for vanquishing that demon."

"Anything?" Ranma-chan asked.

"Yes." The manager answered excitedly.

"Then I'll have one of everything on that panel there." Ranma-chan stated pointing to the middle panel over the man's head.

"Consider it done." The man answered smiling though inwardly he was thinking. 'She has got to be kidding.'

Roughly fifteen later Ranma-chan was presented with a pile of food.

"You're sure this is what you want?"

"I could have asked for one of everything but I'm not feeling that hungry." She answered as she grabbed her chopsticks. "Chow time." She said happily before digging in.

Mouths began falling open in surprise as observers watched the mountain dwindle to a pile of plates bowls and wrappers.

"That was good." Ranma-chan said patting her still flat stomach.

"I don't think she was kidding when she said that she could of eaten one of everything." One of the cooks said still bug eyed.

The manager didn't have anything to say to that so he just nodded his head.

The rest of the voyage was thankfully uneventful.

Aside from training sessions Ranma-chan mostly slept as she knew Genma was going to want to get wherever they were going quickly.

Meanwhile back in japan Ryoga was currently on top of mount Fuji.

"Ranma how could you leave me?" The lost boy called mournfully towards the setting sun.
