Chapter 8 – Corner
-
Tatewaki Kuno was walking through a park on the outskirts of Nerima. He found a clearing and decided to practice the art he had already perfected, if one were to believe his delusions.
As he drew his weapon and began practicing, he realized that he was being watched. It did not bother him, as he was expecting it. He was, after all, Furinkan High's greatest kendo champion. He continued to practice without hesitation. Despite being a mere annoyance to Ranma, although he would never allow himself to realize that, he was a very skilled fighter.
He followed through a kata he loved the most, as it is his showiest.
Tatewaki continued to practice, knowing that the threat approached, but it was not alone. He could feel more than one pair of eyes on him. He would be ready. 'The attack will come soon,' he thought. After a minute he knew the attack was upon him.
He turned to face his enemy and heard a battle cry as he moved to defend himself.
-
The Nekovyn warrior slid silently into the park. It was on the Minato border with the next ward. As she moved silently, she and her minions readied for the attack. Their target was a fighter, nowhere near the level of the Sailor Senshi. However, as he was a strong and healthy fighter, she knew he would be perfect for a draining of his life force.
She knew that this human was an excellent target and would feed the useless Lostaru with her, and that would draw out the enemy. She had the other Lostaru surround the park and hide their presence from those who could sense their powers. It was an easy task for her, She could hide her power. The Lostaru, however, simply had to be hungry and low on power to go undetected. Thus, when the three sacrifices behind her were feeding they would draw out the Sailor Senshi into an ambush, she would be ready.
She hid in a nearby tree and noticed that the human was practicing, and seemed to be taking care to watch everywhere. His style seemed more ceremonial then useful but he had some skills. 'It almost seemed like he noticed us, but a lowly and weak human like this one couldn't. Or could he?' she mused.
She remembered what happened to that baka Kirijaw the Rinell, who almost killed the Sailor Senshi recently. He dropped his guard for but a second after hitting that new Senshi into a wall. That mistake cost him his life.
She would be careful. She knew that the Lostaru would all die. The only thing she liked about them was that, since they were clones, the Mistress did not care how many died. If they were worth saving then they would survive.
As she watched the Lostaru close on their prey the lead one screamed and lunged at the fighter. 'Too bad that little stick was not enough to help him,' she mused, 'or things would have been more interesting.'
-
As the fight progressed, Kuno was fighting with his all, but against his enemy it was not enough. After a quick fight he was down and out cold.
His enemy saw his condition and let out a chilling laugh, one that could even send chills down Ranma's spine.
"Hohohohohoho!" she laughed
She looked down at the defeated fighter and laughed again. He was weak like all her opponents, most of them anyway. Her rival was easily stronger then this baka.
She turned to leave, but she glanced back and called out, "Sasuke!"
The ninja appeared by the downed kendoka, and replied, "Yes, Mistress."
She smiled, not a good smile however, and said, "When you drag my insane brother home, be sure to do it painfully." She then laughed as she danced off leaving a mess of rose pedals in her wake.
Sasuke looked to the sky and wondered what he was in his past life to deserve this one. 'Probably a warlord or some other form of evil, or worse yet a Kuno,' he mused. He shuddered at that possibility and dragged his fallen master home by the feet.
-
The fighter was easily taken down by the three Lostaru and, as they sucked out his life force, she knew that the Sailor Senshi would be here soon. If the other Lostaru were doing their jobs each should have a hostage, or is that a snack of energy for when their true targets arrive?
-
The Sailor Senshi who had sensed the evil presence in the distance, namely: Usagi, Rei, and Ranma, notified the others and took off towards the source of the dark force.
This attack was well outside their usual fighting area and as such they had a long way to go. The enemy was almost in the capital ward of greater Tokyo, but still in Minato. Siren remembered that Nerima ward was directly ahead. If they had passed the park and kept going, Nerima was two wards away.
While traveling, Mercury told the others that she identified that whoever was behind these attacks were not using Youma, as she previously thought. While the energy they were powered by was similar, it was not the same. Given that all of their enemies, this time, seemed to be genetically derived from creatures indigenous to the Earth, she recommended referring to them as 'Kimera'.
As they approached, they stopped and Mercury scanned the area. She could only detect three Kimera, and they appeared to be the 'Lobster-Kangaroo' type. Siren, Jupiter and Uranus wanted to go in powers blazing and deal with these threats. However, Neptune, Pluto and Mercury felt that something was wrong with this attack. The enemy was too weak. Moon agreed with this assessment and sent Tuxedo Kamen, Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune back in case this was a diversion. Mercury had also pointed out a possible trap. However, her computer could not detect anything. Siren, on the other hand, said she had a few weak signals she wanted to check out.
Mercury, Venus, Moon, and Neptune proceeded to their target, Uranus was ordered to watch their backs as Siren went off, following the weak signals she was getting.
-
The fight started, and it was over fairly quickly, as the Senshi had become good at dealing with these weaklings. But that is when they got a frantic call from Siren.
Over their communicators, they suddenly heard Siren shout, "Look out! We're surrounded! It's a trap!" Normally, Ranma was cool in a fight. This was mostly due to 'his' confidence. However, as Ranma's confidence is kept in check by 'her' Senshi powers she was a touch spooked and concerned about this trap. Sailor Siren was not scared, just not going to take a chance.
The Sailor Senshi suddenly heard an explosion; they quickly localized it to the edge of the park in a small office building. They saw a 'Breaking Wave' blow out of a building and tear apart one of the Kimera. Then Siren jumped out of the building and charged to the Senshi's position as Mercury was using her computer. The 'Lobster-Kangaroo' Kimera were everywhere, and getting stronger. There were 36 in total, and they seemed determined to not line up for Siren. After the 'snack,' each of the Kimera were fast enough that they would be a problem. The Senshi that had been sent back were recalled and Uranus joined the others.
They formed a circle, Moon, Saturn with the Silence Glaive, Neptune, Uranus with the Space Sword, Mercury, and Siren with 'Triple Threat' in dual katana form. Given the proximity of the others, Siren stored 'Triple Threat' and attacked with Pulsing Waves. The others were using their best moves and, unfortunately, they were only tiring out. Siren saw the others returning but they were surrounded as well. Thus far only six Kimera had been killed and the Senshi were unsure if they could keep this pace up. Most of their attacks missed and the only reason the six were destroyed was due more to luck and suppression fire than anything else.
Siren knew that Pulsing Wave was the weakest attack here and decided to risk an experiment for this little problem. She called out, "Amaguriken no Pulsing Wave," and her hands blurred as hundreds of small shockwaves flew in a wide arc. After the attack, there were only fourteen Kimera left, who seemed to pause in fear long enough for another seven to be taken out before they realized what happened. There were only seven Kimera left and, with the odds shifted, the Sailor Senshi were quick to eliminate the remainder.
Unfortunately, the attack that Siren used was too taxing, and she fainted from magical overexertion. Mercury watched over her while the fight was finished. The Senshi were just about to celebrate their victory when they heard slow clapping.
They all turned and saw someone jump out of a tree. Siren was still out cold and being held up by Mercury and Venus. They noticed that the newcomer looked human enough, except for the wings and tail, but as she got closer they saw the ears.
The Sailor Senshi heard her as she calmly spoke, "As was to be expected, I did not think that those pathetic Lostaru would have beaten you. However, you are weakened from your fight and now must face me. I am Ryuuko, a Nekovyn type winged warrior. I was sent by my mistress to kill you." With that, she fired several dark energy blasts at the exhausted warriors. Saturn got a 'Silence Wall' up in time to stop them. Moon managed to fire off an attack quickly followed by Mars, Venus, Neptune, and Uranus. Ryuuko dodged all the attacks as the Senshi kept firing, until Moon scored a direct hit with a spiral heart attack.
Everyone gaped as Ryuuko got back up. It hurt her, but she was definitely not dead. No, she was pissed. She charged again with reckless abandon and took several other direct hits from multiple attacks. After she took a lot of damage, she suddenly realized that fighting like this would lead to her death. She was not like Kirijaw, she would not be stupid and die so easily, so she jumped backwards and teleported away in what can only be described as a flash of darkness.
-
They decided to use their Sailor Teleport to get home since it was safer in their current condition. Pluto returned from the time gate and after hearing about what happened they decided to look into some sort of communication equipment for the time gate. Siren awoke an hour later at the Shrine, Haruka, Setsuna, Michiru, and Hotaru had left already. After they decided to meet in the morning they all went home for the night.
-
The next day at the shrine the meeting went much in the way it was expected to go. Meaning it opened with Ranma being mildly chastised for using such a reckless attack. True, it turned the tide, but it left Siren out cold for the remainder of the fight.
After that and the usual patterns for the meeting, it came time for training. Minako, Makoto, and Haruka had the least trouble with the training. Usagi, Ami, and Hotaru had the most. Setsuna, as usual, was nowhere to be found.
After the training, Ranma explained what Ki was and demonstrated it with a Moko Takabisha. This lead to an argument over its usefulness. After all, the Sailor Senshi already had energy attacks.
Ranma had decided to show more of its uses. After a few quick demonstrations which included: the Iron Cloth technique which he had seen enough times to learn, the Bakusai Tenketsu which again he had seen enough to know, along with an explanation of the Hiryu Shoten Ha, they were still doubtful, and Ami seemed annoyed for some reason.
The final demonstration of the day was a modification of an old trick, tight rope walking, or, in this case: tight string walking. There were a pair of short posts about a dozen feet apart with four parallel pieces of string running parallel between them. They were tied around the bases of the foot high posts, and then they ran up the far side of the post and into a groove that held the string horizontally stable and aimed at the opposite post.
Ranma hopped on the first post and calmly walked across. He made sure to always have a single foot on all four strings at each moment. He was currently using the 'Iron Cloth' technique to help the strings hold his weight, he even had to 'enhance' the posts, but to do so required constant contact or else the strings and/or the posts would break. He picked up this technique while practicing the Iron Cloth on Siren. He fell many times learning how not to break the string.
Ranma made it across, turned to bow, then laughed as Haruka tried and broke the strings on contact. He then asked, "Any questions now on the use of Ki?"
Ami replied to this with an annoyed growl, "Ranma! Will you please quit defiling the laws of physics? At least use magic if you are going to do something like that."
Ami was a scholar and scientist. She used the Mercury computer and could understand magic even though her science denied it was possible. However, in a case like this, she did not understand how this energy could be manipulated like it was. She just assumed during the fight against Haruka that Ranma used her own magic against her. True in some senses. However, in this case, it was more obvious that there was something that Ami did not have nearly enough information about.
Thus, her outburst. She was so into the idea that she had all the answers and understanding that, in a position of lacking the necessary information, she was unable to bring her intellect to bear. This was also, in part, to blame on her computer. Previously most of what she needed to know came from it, back during the Silver Millennium there were no Ki adapt warriors in the kingdom. Back then every warrior that reached a certain level was taught magic as well; in fact most fighter knew at least a simple healing spell, it may not have been a strong spell or able to cure major damage, but it was able to close small wounds.
Also, since the time Ranma showed up, her behavior changed a little, she became infected with 'Ranma's Fiancée Syndrome,' which meant whenever Ranma proved he was better in some regards to one of his fiancées, albeit unintentionally, they would get needlessly and overly jealous. Also, when ever nobody was looking, she would have perverted thoughts about him. Fortunately for Ranma, she was not possessive …yet.
After Ami was convinced that this was a valid and probably necessary form of training, she relented and remembered that soon she would learn how to do this. Thus, she could understand the underlying science behind it. The team decided to meet that evening to have a plan and develop some more methods to more effectively eliminate the Kimera.
-
Ranma was still learning the "basics" of the twin katana style. He had gotten back about two hours ago, and was in the dojo training. He learned more about the style, in that the twin katana portion was primarily used for defense and the double katana was used for offense.
He was in boy type at the moment, having undergone four gender changes in the last two hours.
The kata he was learning was still a 'basic' one. However, he had yet to do it to his cousin's satisfaction. He thought to himself, 'And people call me a slave driver'
He continued practicing and after a while, he was getting tired of it. However, he knew full well the need for it. He called for a break after another hour to break the rhythm and get a drink.
After his break it took him another hour and a half for his cousin to let him go on to the next form
He continued practicing, and his mind went to recent events. He kept thinking about Jusenkyo and Pluto not being the cause of it. She did not know soon enough to cause it, or did she? The more he thought about temporal mechanics the more his head hurt. Earlier Pluto had confided in him that sometimes she tried not to think about it either for similar reasons. However, she still needed to think about it most of the time. Ranma found that ironic. She had the power over time, yet she could not find the time to enjoy not thinking about time.
Ranma also reflected on Sailor Siren and what 'She' represented, and what 'Her' powers were. Sailor Siren was the Senshi of art and balance, but her powers were over waveforms. Technically 'she' was not really the Senshi of balance, but rather waves. However the 'waves' are a method nature uses to achieve balance.
As he continued, he thought about what he knew of the others attacks. Saturn effectively had two attacks plus her trump, an offensive and a defensive plus mass destruction. Pluto had one effective attack plus her trump, an offensive and a time stop. She, Siren, had four, originally three plus her trump, two offensive attacks, three now, a defensive, and area destruction.
However, all the others except Moon, Venus, and Mercury seemed to only have a single offensive attack. Venus had two, Mercury had a defensive as well. However, Moon seemed to have more. She knew first hand that there were two offensive attacks, plus her trump, and she also could heal. Saturn could heal as well, but her healing was a ki thing so he did not count it. Ranma's knowledge was at the moment limited, as he had only seen the Senshi in battle twice.
He finished practicing and decided to see if he could not only teach them his fighting art, but also try and figure out how to help them with their magic as well.
-
They had finished the kata an hour ago, and after a break, Ranma and Jiko were sparring
They had just finished a quick round where Jiko had pointed holes in Ranma's defense. Last round Ranma tried the Amaguriken; Jiko defeated it easily with a pair of precision strikes. Jiko hit one pressure point on each or Ranma's arms at the shoulder, causing a temporary disabling of Ranma's arms. After that, Ranma reflected on his defeat, although Jiko called it sulking. He was realizing that he was relying far too much on some things, like his speed, and ignoring his accuracy. If he wanted to even nail a single spot using the Amaguriken, then he could only use a single hand.
They were set up for the next round.
Then they started at once. Ranma opened with an over the shoulder strike against Jiko's left shoulder. He was rewarded with a block then a hit on his left side, followed up by a wrist strike against his right wrist, causing him to drop the bokken. Then both of her bokken were against his neck. His mistake had been forgetting about his left bokken, and his cousin was as demanding as he was about fixing a fault.
The next round went better. Jiko opened with a left spin, left strike, against Ranma's shoulder, which Ranma blocked. Then, he blocked her follow up right strike against his back. He had to spin right to face her as he blocked her twin shoulder blade strike from behind. He blocked her right bokken with his right and the left missed cleanly as he went for a stomach strike with his left in reverse position. However, what Ranma did not expect was for her to spin to the left and around the stomach strike and then knock the bokken forward, increasing its momentum. Forcing him to turn away, she got behind him. He tried to fight the spin but it cost him as she nailed him squarely three times in the shoulder, back and left knee.
He knew that in his past life, 'she' developed the style. The spinning when Ranma was learning the style seemed designed for appearance, and it bothered him a little. When he was in Senshi form he felt it was to give a, 'Look at me, I am pretty' impression. In other words he thought, at first, it was to distract the opponent, and not actually be useful as a form. Now he understood what she was thinking in his past life. The spins were to focus momentum and compensate for the momentum lost from not recoiling with the opposite hand.
They had one more round before breaking and heading in for dinner. This time, Ranma won. He fooled her by using an extra half spin and nailed her back. He was so used to using his special techniques and ki augmentation that when he practiced without it against Jiko, he felt ashamed as he had let his style rust.
-
Dinner was a short event. Most of the family either ate very little or, like Ranma, ate like a black hole. All three cousins were like that. Right after dinner, Ranma was about to leave when his grandmother handed him a cell phone. She told him that it was, 'So that he could keep in touch.' He interpreted it to mean, 'If you need to fight late, let us know.'
After he left she rounded up her mother and daughter and said, "I gave him the phone." All three smirked.
Eriko then said, "Alright, we will call him in two hours. The meeting should be over then."
-
It was well after dinner and the Sailor Senshi were sitting around a table planning their newest strategies. After they did their 'Senshi Business' the meeting degraded into their customary actions, primarily Usagi and Rei fought over Manga, and Makoto and Minako discussed their latest plan to steal Ranma. Ranma sat next to Pluto in girl type.
Mamoru glared at Ranma for abandoning him to the join the other side, he had some reason to be mad at Ranma, and it was more like being annoyed. Put yourself in his position. He thought he finally had another male Senshi he could talk guy stuff to, but when the meeting time came, Ranma came as a girl.
Ranma acted oblivious to what went on around him and looked like she was thinking of something; actually he was planning on dodging his newest admirers. Ami was still trying to get the Mercury computer to give her answers. Her thoughts ran somewhere along the lines of, 'I am the smartest person here, I will figure out how Ki works!' Pluto watched events play out. She was not without a sense of humor; she just usually knew the punch line before the joke was told. Thus, she could laugh herself silly at the gates, and look level headed in front of the girls.
Even still, when Ranma's phone rang, her Ki signature shifted slightly, just enough to make Ranma a little nervous.
The Senshi all listened to the conversation, the one side they could hear.
"Hello."
"Mother, is something wrong?"
"That's good, anyway did you need something?"
"Huh, training? What kind of training?"
"What!" she shrieked
"No! No way." she stated outright refusing what ever was being told
"Huh, Grandmother? What No! Not you too!" Ranma was sounding a little startled; crazy was expected from her mother, but from her grandmother?
"Great Grandmother! Mom! No!" Now Ranma was sounding scared and paranoid. Ranma knew that she would not win.
"I don't need 'Girl Training' I am a guy!" She demanded. Mamoru, Haruka and Artemis lost composure and fell over laughing while being swatted by their significant others, who, like the remainder, were suppressing their giggles.
"But!" She suddenly sounded cornered
"You what!" Now she definitely sounded pissed, more then a few wanted to hear the other side of this. From the mood swings it sounded like PMS, which ironically did account for part of it.
"How could you enroll me into school as a girl?" She demanded. This elicited some snickers.
"That makes sense I suppose. But I still don't like it."
Silence lasted for nearly three minutes then finally Ranma screamed, "What?" so loudly it drew Rei's grandfather. He had known about the curse and the Senshi of course. Normally he would not look in the room. However, this needed investigating.
He opened the door with a startled look on his face and saw Setsuna do a shush motion. From his position he could not see the cell phone.
Ranma screamed again, "What do you mean I gotta go through 'Princess' Training!"
Grandfather Hino simply closed the door and vowed to himself to never look in again on one of their meetings.
After a few more minutes of Ranma saying "No!" the conversation came to an abrupt end.
Ranma was very upset at this point and she replied back to something said, "I still don't…" She was apparently cut off by something
"Her eyes went as wide as saucers. She whimpered out, "But…" again being cut off.
Then she stated forcefully, "Of course I am!"
There was a short pause than… suddenly she stammered, "But, but, but…" This time she was cut off by a dial tone. She realized that the entire conversation was planned. She looked angrily at the phone and said to herself, "What is manly about 'Princess' Training?"
After that was said everyone was on the floor laughing except her.
-
The door to the old shed opened slowly as the intruder to the peaceful grounds glided out. She closed the door behind her with a silent creak. She walked up to the back door silently, without making any obvious noise. At first glance she looked like a harmless schoolgirl, except for her slightly unusual clothing of course. It was a dress but it had an unusual style to them, it almost looked like it was designed for fighting as much as dancing.
She slowly walked towards the back door, not making any sudden movements. As she reached her destination she was about to touch the door, her hand in a fist, when it suddenly glided open. The girl who stood in the doorway looked on in shock at the girl in front of her. She quickly recovered and spoke two words very emphatically.
"Deki-chan!"

Author's Note
First 'Princess Training' – I am either serious or they were joking and wanted to make him accept girl training easier.
Second 'Girl Training' – Ranma is now comfortable in girl form; however Ranma does not know how to socially be a girl. Girl Training will let him understand what being female means to people around him. This will not be a Ranma is a Girl fic, however I was planning this way back when I said that he could 'Lock' himself as a girl.
As to Kimera vs Chimera I am using the pronunciation because it is how the Japanese would write it, however for the fic it is pronounced Kim-er-a instead of K-i-mer-a. (Think Himera as in Kenshin)
This will be the last chapter for a time, I WILL return to this fic and do fully intend on continuing it. I thank all my prereaders very much in what they helped me with this far. I have also will have fixed some of the prior chapter's spelling errors at the time of this posting.
The reason for the break is to start one or two other fics, which may not get very far. This was my first fic and I thank everyone who helped thus far with improving my writing, I still have far to go but hopefully I will continue to improve.
A prereader noted that unlike some of the other names for the kimeraian creatures, Lostaru does not well match with the scheme, I choose it since the alternatives were lobsteroo and Kangaster. I liked Lostaru much better but here is how I derived it. LObSTer kangARU (Kangaru is the Japanese spelling of kangaroo) then I changed the oo into a 'u'. I originally was going to type it as Lobstaru but I felt that Lostaru sounded better. Technically I could have gone Ebiaru (deriving from the Japanese word Ebi which means lobster.)
Another point of questions is between twin bokken and double bokken, twin or two bokken is simply a pair of bokken, a double bokken is like 'Triple threat's' third form, two katana connected by the butt of their handles.

Thanks, i enjoy writing this as well, and thanks for your thoughts on Pluto and Saturn, however it can still be dabated but i won't argue.
Cheb
To paraphrase a line from the movie Armageddon: "American proverb, Russian proverb, what difference does it make, all made in Taiwan" and by that i mean does it really matter where they came from. Proverbs are useful but they have been resaid and retranslated and reinvented to truly know the source.
But remember this is Ranma so he is bound to err occasionally, if it were Ami I would have gone back and fixed it.
Alathon
I am glad you like it.
As far as Akane goes; in pure Ranma fics she is equal to Ukyo IMO. And yes she is worse in this one, that was intentional because Cannon Ranma was close to Akane, i needed to break them up. The addition of the new fiancees was origionally meant to just be a get Ranma out of Nerima engine, however as you saw with Ami i had other thoughts later. Akane, IMO, was always the type, like Ranma, to not admit her feelings or to cover them up well, hence Cannon Ranma and Akane's relationship.
I disagree about being abrupt, Ranma was, in cannon, accepting his true condition, however a few months relaxing in 'Girl form' made it easier to accept in the long run. Siren was, mostly, a postitve experiance for him (her), as such he is more likely at the end to not mind the situtation.
This being my first fic I wanted Ranma to have a unique and totally 'Ranma' Sailor Senshi form and abilities.
Thank you for the humor obversation, this fic is intended to be written in the same style I find both Sailor Moon and Ranma are written in. and that is Humor over a core of seriousness, with a core of a devoloping 'love story'. However I find myself just spouting off these scenes and writing them into the story. such as this chapter's 'Princess Training' was thought up min way through writing Chapter 3.
Sorry bout the Typo's but when I started I had no pre-readers, I hope it is getting better, i have also fixed prior errors, such as the infamous Nermia goof.
I agree about Nabiki, like Akane though I wanted to just use that mechanic to add more strain to Ranma.
I have Read fan translations of the Manga and watched the episodes of the Anime, from what i can tell when she is introduced she hides it well, but I do believe that she was/is a few blades short of a samurai (really sorry about that pun btw a traditional samurai carried three blades as apposed to her one). Nodoka was very emotional and i once read it put the best as her being said to being on permanent PMS, in the Manga she kept swinging between treating Ranam (even after finding out about the curse) as her little child, I mean the ways she fussed over him was like a mother looking after her 6 year old, and times when she treated him like an adult. She even could go between calm and hapy to being seriously pissed, once she nearly cleaved Ranma in half without knowing it was him.
Ami will pick up a little of Akane's behavior as i stated above, but you are reading a little deeper into it then you should, as far as she is thinking is the same level the average Ranma's fiancee would.
There will be more 'Siren's Calling' after a short Haitus
Gangsta Spanksta Ami seems to me to be the one to berate herself in private rather then in public, ne?
Your perceptions on Nabs Soun Kasumi and nodoka are right on target, but at this point i think the final matching is reviled.
Alex Ultra More will come after my next fic
law-kun Thanks! I wanted my story to be unique, way too many Kami ranma fics out there.
I wish a few of my scenes were longer, but the story must continue
mc2rpg True but remember he was also just caught with, if you pardon the pun, his pants down as well. He was caught hiding his true gender and remember that scene where he saw the guy get 'captured'
dogbertcarroll Yes Ami will be patient however this will not be a mutiple matchup, not even in the sense of someone marries him now and she will later, she simply knows that 200 years from now neither she nor Ranma will be much older in the bio sense so her 'Bio' clock is in no danger of running out any time soon, thus she can wait as long as she wants.
Lerris Sorry for the legnth, but i try to keep most of the chapters even, btw ty for the fix, i have posted the correction
Jerry Unipeg Thanks! btw you do not know the half of it.
Innortal The marrage agreement will not be bumped off to anyone else, i have said why above, but bluntly Ranma does not trust nabs and sees 'sumi as a sister.
"However the family training does set up a nice fight scene possibility for Ranma with Tatewaki."
I will make an evil not of that.
"I also look forward to more detail about Akaji and his relation to Ranma's past self. Good luck."
that will be in the future, but how far?
The Nameless Author Thanks!
"BUT and i do say BUT please DON'T make this a Ranma + multiple girls story."
This will be a single pairing, don't worry. On Siren, as is my understanding, it would be more like scheduled turns each night, thus you would be right.
Wonderbee31 Your observations on the girls is correct, and on the risk of spoiling (this should not be if you read Chapter 4) happosai and Cologne are going to be serious about training Ranma and keeping to his good side (but both will stay much IC)
