Gau Uchiwa had work for the man before him Ryo Habuki ever since he
graduated however he still can't understand the man in front of him
even after all these years. How the hell he could remain such
calmness even when he was in a lose-lose situation. True, for all
those who witness her fall had became semi immortal but heck like
the
term semi-immortal means they are just human that cannot age, not
immortal so they will die, not to mention the very being that kill
their goddess is currently digging her way out from her cell yet he
can still remain in his cold expression.
The ex-Juraian general merely looked at his fellow panic comrade
with
an emotionless mask. It had been millennium since he put up his
infamous emotionless mask, it was not that he was not afraid but
needles to say it was necessary to calm the others.
"Report." He speaks without a hint of emotion finally as the panic
old scientist finally calm down a bit.
Gau sigh as he throw away the speech he prepare over night and
decide
to go for direct approach, "Ryo look as one of your really really
old
friend I am not bother even to give you some false hope, though our
various scanning we are very sure the first shield is already
broken,
though estimate the last three shield will be destroy not longer
than
672 hours."
"That means –she– will be out by this month."
"Yes."
Drawing a deep breath the blue hair general said, "Leave the repot
down on my paper and continue to observed the cell while try you
best
to buy more time for us, do not hesitate to inform me if anything
happen."
With a nod the old scientist bow and walk out from the room.
Looking at the chicken writing reports written by his fellow
scientists who he don't even need to go though to know it tells only
bad news, the blue hair man sink deep into his chair as he once
again
felt the uneasiness all those years ago when they began the war with
Tokimi the Goddess of Destruction. It won't be more than a month
before that bitch will once again free from the cell Lady Washu had
set for her all those years ago.
The ex-Juraian general click a hidden button below his desk, as a
small cube slowly rose up from the table revealing two out of the
three red gems which is the power and mind gem shined with its
divine
light as if it was calling for her mistress. Every time he set his
eyes on the gems, he couldn't help but recall the faithful day where
everything ends and began.

Flash Back
*~*~*~*~
The two elder goddesses had been battling for days, using all their
skill and experience they master as their sword and energy blast
content clashing. To untrained eyes all those two are really
fighting, it looks like a dance perform by to beautiful goddess but
the truth is each swing and cut are perform carefully and well plan
since they knew one single wrong move, will be their last.
"Well, Washu I must say I am impress, who would have know the
Goddess
of Knowledge can hold her own against the me?" Tokimi say with muse.
"One must learn after encounter countless assassins." Washu smirk as
the red hair goddess adjust her blade just incase her sister launch
any surprise assault.
"I see, however although I want to continue this session with you, I
hate to say this must end since I got a seed to catch."
"You know that will not be possible, I will never let you touch
Tsunami as long as I am still breathing."
"I agree, as I expect you not to." Tokimi smile cruelly, this had
alarm Washu. But before the red hair goddess could react a group of
battle cruiser type dark tree ships emerged. All the ships ware
fully
charge up aiming toward Washu, than only Washu realized why Tokimi
had choice to fight her personally, as Tokimi was eliminate the
chances Washu escape. "Goodbye my dearest sister although I enjoy
you
annoying resistance but I will never miss you." With that all the
blast was launch at the same time all the tree ship self destruct
since Tokimi not bother to look after their capacity as she overload
all the tree ships usual maximum capacity in order to get the
maximum
power for this final attack.
However to Tokimi surprises Washu merely smirk, calmly she pulled
out
a tiny device from her sub pocket and push the buttons on it. When
the deathly energy about connected her, the blast was immediately
transfer to the device Washu had created recently to intercept any
type of energy and recycle to other energy the people need. In this
case it was the prefect device to trap Tokimi.
"WASHU! YOU PLANNED ALL THESE!" yelled the mad goddess as jump into
conclusion like usual thinking her sister had predicted her to do
such move and prepare for a counter for it which is leading her to
trap herself in her own energy.
*Hmm might as well use that assumption as my advantage. It was
really
priceless to see Tokimi that angry. * "Why, sister dearest for your
information I AM after all Goddess of Knowledge, what do you expect
from me, beat you in a fair fight? Of course I will use my gargets
to
finish you." Washu finish the sentence with an ear-to-ear grin.
"WASHU I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS OFFENCE!"
*Wow! I really wish I got a camera to take down this moment. *
"Well,
that was not needed sister dearest, just remember me sometimes will
be enough. You don't need to make an effort to remember me so much,
since I won't miss you." Washu mock the engage goddess who is
struggling out from the energy web that is generated by her owned
energy. Washu pushes another button, and active the second trap to
complete her plan. And silent the enrage Goddess for many, many
years
to come.
As Washu had predicated, using the remaining energy Washu create a
four powerful seals, around the frozen Dark Goddess while she used
her remaining power to sent her toward a subspace where her minions
could never release nor detect their goddess.
"Lady Washu, you had succeed!" cheer the blue hair man as he walk
out
from his hiding toward the red hair goddess.
Washu merely just spare her blue hair mortal friend a smile before
she collapse. "LADY WASHU!"
Ryo pull up the fallen goddess and found the most disturb sight he
had seen, his goddess is bleeding to death.
"G-Guess like this proof reckless move without plan is fatal, I
didn't realized THAT much of energy feedback from that blast." Reply
Washu weakly still she managed to wink playfully hoping it might
loosen up her too struck up friend.
"NO, you wait here I-I will get the medic and they will heal you!"
The blue hair ex-general carries the Goddess up as he run back to
the
camp where his comrade had decide their final resting place or the
place where they held their celebrating party.
"Medic? I taught . . ." Ryo interrupt her as he answer the unspoken
question, "A group of people like me decide to stay behind since we
rather to die with you."
"I see, but it was useless since my biological structure is totally
different from you mortal."
"B-But there must be something we can do for you!" The ex-general
eyes began to gather tears, he was not even bother to hide his
sorrow
as he let the tears flow freely but still he continue to push
himself
toward the camp as fast as possible.
"You can always monitor Tokimi for me and . . . " To Ryo surprise
Washu pull his closer and kiss the obvious surprise him, during the
kiss the ex-general could obviously feel a warm energy rush within
her body and stay there. "I want you to get married, if fate permits
your eldest daughter shall be my mother."
"T-That will be my honor." As the blue hair man finally understand
her goddess had place her assents within him and will reborn as his
grandchild. "But how can I be sure it was you?"
"When I reborn, my knowledge and power will separated from me, they
will come with me in the form of three gems, my soul, my mind, and
my
power. Incase Tokimi is awaken and Tsunami is not ready, you may
reawaken me with those gems."
~*~*~*~*~*~*
End Flash Back
*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was so ironic, like his goddess had prophecy the eldest of his
daughter would be her mother, but due to fate twisted humor his
eldest daughter would die before managed to give birth to his first
grandchild, and unofficially his second child Nodoka Habuki as the
eldest whom he cast out of the clan due to disapproved of the man
she
choose. While that is not all, fate choose to humor the Habuki
family
with another strange sense of humor of her instate of a girl, it was
a healthy young boy. Even with the gems intact he refuse to believe
his goddess is the child before him.
He refuse to believe that the little boy before him was his once
beautiful goddess so he had left the child goddess under that idiot
son-in-law of his not to mention a coward who dare to call himself a
man to torture young Ranma for goddamn ten years in his so call
training trip. That was not all, by Tokimi, to feed that sorry
excuse
for man belly, he engage poor Ranma to multiple girls, this had
causes Ranma unable to decide who he will marry afraid that other
families might lose honor if he had choose. At the end as Ranma
realized his feeling and prepare to confess his love, it was too
late
since the woman he fall in love with had been kill by the self
proclaim Chinese Amazon wife of his who realized Ranma discover
feeling and decide to remove the obstacle.
"I failed you my goddess, it was my fault I don't believe Ranma as
your reincarnation even with the gems intact, I failed you again
when
I let that idiot son-in-law take you for that ten years. Now I will
once again fail you if I reawaken your true self, and tell you your
whole life is actually a lie. I only pray that the soul gem is
powerful enough to protect you from them." Ryo speak to the gems but
as usual the gems could never answer his question like his goddess
could. Oddly like fate the special case that draws his attention
recently seems to extremely noticeable despite all the files are the
same, "The Masaki family. This is really an enigma I taught all
Masaki is with Tsunami, could it be Tsunami has return?"
**
To say Katsuhito was surprise was an understatement since he was way
beyond surprise, the woman who resemble Washu beat Tenchi within a
minute, and that was because the red hair woman was controlling her
punches and want Tenchi to feel every punches before he was send to
La La land. Judging by the way the girl fight, he could imagine that
she was holding so much back till even he fight her personally he
won't doubt she could give him the best fight of his lifetime.
"Mr. Masaki, I am truly sorry for my daughter rather rough
behavior."
Say the red hair middle age woman, a beautiful one Katsuhito must
admit approach him in the hospital where Tenchi stay. Together with
the middle age woman was the red hair girl who resemble Washu except
the eyes color, the older woman glare at Tenchi opponent a
girl, "Ranma-chan what should you say?"
The red hair girl snorted nevertheless she apologize unwillingly. "I
am sorry, but that punk deserved by keep calling me this Washu. I
hate people keep calling me that!"
That commend had obviously earn Katsuhito suspicious, *People
calling
her Washu? Hmm this bares looks into. * However being Katsuhito, he
always look for a chance to torture err…train his grandson so he
instate of accepting the apologies from Ranma, he simply add a
convenient suggestion that will definite make Tenchi fear for his
life and decide to crawl under something to hide from the monster
call Ranma if he is present, which unfortunately he is not. "Well, I
think Tenchi deserved that too, maybe you should spar with him a few
more times, than he will learn his lesson, for looking at beautiful
woman and calling another woman name."
The red hair girl just turns her head and left a word that disturbs
Katsuhito for knowing Washu. "Hn, if he want to be my lab genius pig
I will defiantly welcome otherwise kindly tells him never to show
his
face in front of me. For next time I will put him into my sex
exchange machine which I am sure in need of a male guinea pig."
"Ranma!" Nodoka show her daughter a disapprove look.
"Whatever, I am out of here!" Snap the red hair girl as she storm
out
from the room.
**
Deep within the center of earth, unnoticed by the Habuki's scientist
the Goddess of Destruction conscious had been awaken for quite some
times and had managed to gain the knowledge of her sister
reincarnation though their blood bond. It was plain ironic to Tokimi
as Washu had basically die the same time as she seal her, but Tokimi
always keep her word especially a death threat.
"Washu! I will get you!" The mad goddess declare silently as she
used
what energy she could spare while not delaying her escape from the
prison to create a short and simple message toward her minions
throughout the galaxy.
"Kill whoever that might be Washu reincarnation."
**
Ranma was furious, but she doesn't understand why she was so angry
about being called Washu. Every time someone call her that, she
would
have the odd sense of being taunt, if was as if that name mock her
for some reason. The name also somehow touch something inside her,
it
was the same feeling she get from the red gem tone she received from
her grandfather the day she declare she want nothing to do with her
male side. Since she was at the topic she took out the gem as she
stare at it dumbly, it was amazed her that the gem stone seems to be
alive yet every test she run though the stone the result was
negative
in return. It was imply illogical for every time when she was
emotional, all she need is just stare at the tiny red gem and she
will feel as if everything will turn out fine.
"What are you looking at?" A voice suddenly interrupts her daydream
as she barely managed to control the urge to jump up. She frowns as
she saw who is the owner of the voice, but she ignored him and
returns her gem into her subspace pocket. "Ms you still haven't
answer me what are you staring at." Tenchi still used the most
friendly tone he could master even she was the one who send him into
the hospital.
"You know you are persistent?" Finally Ranma answer, but the tone
she
was using Tenchi knew if one more wrong word, he could say hello to
hospital for another month.
"Well, some say it is one of my good points. Now come on I am sorry
to call you Washu but really you look remarkable alike the friend of
mine who is by that name."
"…Ok, but don't ever call me that name or this time I will make sure
you never walk the same way after I go though with you."
Tenchi swallow hard and reply nervously "Crystal."
"Here this is what I am looking at." Ranma show the ponytail boy her
gem.
"T-This is!?!" *Aren't that one of Ryoko's gems? *
"Beautiful ain't it? My grandpa gave it to me as a present. He said
it was a family treasure that pass down ever since the first Habuki
exist."
"You know something Ranma?"
"Yeah? What is it?"
"When I look upon this gem I got this funny feeling that a lot of
trouble will soon find us."
**
Deep in one of the space bar Ryoko was furious, she conclude that
all
genius exclude her mother are spineless, all she asked is a to fix
the goddamn device, but as soon as they know it was a dimension
device. They flat out refuse to repair it and flee from their
respective planet as if it was a disease. Suddenly Ryoko realized
her
sake was out again so naturally she order again, after what good of
having tons of reward money after she turn in the most wanted
criminal in the galaxy by accident if she don't spend in good old
fashion sake.
"Waiter, give me another bottle of sake."
"Excuse me miss, but this is your forty bottle already."
"So, give me another bottle goddamn it, don't you see a gal need
some
alcohol to cheer herself?"
"Alright miss but I strongly suggest this should be the last one."
"Fine, fine just gives me the bottle will cha?"
"Here you are." The bartender put another bottle of sake in front of
Ryoko as usual Ryoko grab the bottle and drink without even using a
cup.
It wasn't everyday you could see a beautiful lady keep drinking like
no tomorrow, due to curious one of the customer decide to asked the
depress ex-space pirate about her problem. "Miss, why you look so
depresses?"
Ryoko spare the guy a look though her drunken eyes as she realized
the fellow was reasonable handsome, with strong and muscle body that
radiate danger who is actually a complete contra to Tenchi gentle
warm type. However the smile, that almost sincere smile break her
emotional defense as she decides she could trust the man a little
with her problem. "Why? I tell you why, this is all because of that
god damn stupid device Washu had create, it not only sent all of us
to this god forsake place with no way to return home. And day by day
my power getting weaker, by this rate I am sure I will reduce to be
as weak as that stuck up in the ass Juraian princess who might
already get hold of my Tenchi virginity."
Unnoticed by Ryoko the bartender face grow darker as he heard Ryoko
mention Washu. However he masked it quickly before Ryoko notice it.
He decide he might able to get more information where to look for
Washu which they are seriously lacking, if he is lucky he might even
get the location where his goddess was seal. "Why I think you must
be joking. As far as I know the one and only Washu is the Juraian
Goddess, and I hear say she had die millennium ago after her final
confront with the dark goddess Tokimi. Since than no one dare to
used
that name as they afraid of Divine wrath either from Lady Tokimi
servant or Washu followers."
"What are you talking about Washu a goddess? Don't make me laugh! If
she was a goddess that what make me as her daughter, a goddess too?
Beside the last time I check the Juraian Goddess is Tsunami."
*Interesting, this girl actually dare to claim as Washu daughter and
she also know the third goddess name which I am sure no one except
those who are either those accursed remaining Juraian or followers
of
Tokimi knew. Maybe . . . *
**
Years of content life and death battle does tend to sharpen one
danger sense, as Ryoko suddenly felt unease by the bartender
intensive stare, using a bit of her power she quickly return sober
and jump backward into a ready stance. "Who are you?" She was glade
she found out the man intention early, since she couldn't imagine
what will happen to her if she gets caught up with those nasty
looking energy bolts that carve into the table and soon reducing it
to nothingness.
"Hn, I was expecting the easy way but you sort of make this had for
both of us. So I guess I should resort to more violent way."
Ryoko narrow her eyes as she smirk, "Well, bring it on." Without
warning Ryoko release a quick energy bold to test his opponent,
hoping that it could help her getting a better estimate where is her
opponent skill level.
Although Ryoko was using her weakest attack but she still surprise
when the man don't even bother to avoid the blast as he took the
punishment as if it was nothing. As reward the man punch the off
guard Ryoko. Sending the weaken Ryoko to kiss the hard wall. But
that
man doesn't give Ryoko time to hesitate as he launch another series
of his attack. Luckily Ryoko managed to escape into the astral
planet
and teleport behind the man with a good distance.
Ryoko spit out the blood from her mouth, "Mind if I know what is the
fellow who is going to kill me?"
"Aurin, one of the Three Knights of Lady Tokimi. Beside I won't kill
you just merely maim you so you can still talk." The knight wills
his
weapon out from his subspace pocket as the bio weapon warp itself
tightly around his hand creating a spike glove. When he finished, he
attacked again with even faster pace than before.
*Damn, judging from that punch I received just now alone, I can
admit
that this punk could really give me a run for my money even I am not
weaken without my gem. * As Ryoko avoid the series of punch and
kicking she scan around the area, looking for a way to get out from
the mess or at least buy her move time until she come out with a
better plan. *Damn, and I swear to myself I will never use that
forbidden technique again since than, oh well. *
**
Aurin was confused as the clan hair woman regains her trademark
smirk
even she was currently in disadvantage. Being a careful, Aurin
immediately jump away when he sense an intensive power up from
Ryoko.
"School of Habuki Anything Goes Final Attack!"
Aurin gasp in honor as he wonder what sort of devastating attack the
child of Washu could perform.
"Run away!"
Aurin fall down hard, and hurt his neck in the process. "Oh yeah,
what can I expect from the Goddess of Knowledge daughter, a fair
fight?" Second later if Ryoko could see his expression she might
consider fight and die in combat will be better than facing a piss
off Tokimi's Knight.

Author Note:
Wow, wow, wow! I get this chapter done pretty fast for my liking but
I hope you folks like it. As usual if I get more reveal and I will
write faster otherwise well ^^;
To Nuki Mouse review:
Good, inovated, but somewhat confusing. Why is Ranma using Habuki as
her sirname? You made it clear she still a Saotome, but she's also a
Habuki?
Well, I guess these might spoil the story a bit but this is just
for you. I put Nodoka father dislike Genma to the point after he
find
out all those engagement, training methods and stuff, he removed
Ranma from Genma clan, but Ranma sort of like to refer herself as
Saotome, after all habits die hard ne? ^^ Furthermore I DID mention
that she was a formal Saotome in the story didn't I?
If you didn't make it clear Nodoka was NOT Washu in adult form, I
might have thought Ranma was Washu's 3rd (or would it be 4th? 5th?)
child.
Well the story title IS No need for `Little' Ranma and I think
Washu
trademark is hoping people would call her little Washu? ^^
Still, I like the story and look forward to reading the rest
Thanks that means a lot you know!

Masaki is with Tsunami, could it be Tsunami has return?"
**
To say Katsuhito was surprise was an understatement since he was way
beyond surprise, the woman who resemble Washu beat Tenchi within a
minute, and that was because the red hair woman was controlling her
punches and want Tenchi to feel every punches before he was send to
La La land. Judging by the way the girl fight, he could imagine that
she was holding so much back till even he fight her personally he
won't doubt she could give him the best fight of his lifetime.
"Mr. Masaki, I am truly sorry for my daughter rather rough
behavior."
Say the red hair middle age woman, a beautiful one Katsuhito must
admit approach him in the hospital where Tenchi stay. Together with
the middle age woman was the red hair girl who resemble Washu except
the eyes color, the older woman glare at Tenchi opponent a
girl, "Ranma-chan what should you say?"
The red hair girl snorted nevertheless she apologize unwillingly. "I
am sorry, but that punk deserved by keep calling me this Washu. I
hate people keep calling me that!"
That commend had obviously earn Katsuhito suspicious, *People
calling
her Washu? Hmm this bares looks into. * However being Katsuhito, he
always look for a chance to torture err…train his grandson so he
instate of accepting the apologies from Ranma, he simply add a
convenient suggestion that will definite make Tenchi fear for his
life and decide to crawl under something to hide from the monster
call Ranma if he is present, which unfortunately he is not. "Well, I
think Tenchi deserved that too, maybe you should spar with him a few
more times, than he will learn his lesson, for looking at beautiful
woman and calling another woman name."
The red hair girl just turns her head and left a word that disturbs
Katsuhito for knowing Washu. "Hn, if he want to be my lab genius pig
I will defiantly welcome otherwise kindly tells him never to show
his
face in front of me. For next time I will put him into my sex
exchange machine which I am sure in need of a male guinea pig."
"Ranma!" Nodoka show her daughter a disapprove look.
"Whatever, I am out of here!" Snap the red hair girl as she storm
out
from the room.

Deep within the center of earth, unnoticed by the Habuki's scientist
the Goddess of Destruction conscious had been awaken for quite some
times and had managed to gain the knowledge of her sister
reincarnation though their blood bond. It was plain ironic to Tokimi
as Washu had basically die the same time as she seal her, but Tokimi
always keep her word especially a death threat.
"Washu! I will get you!" The mad goddess declare silently as she
used
what energy she could spare while not delaying her escape from the
prison to create a short and simple message toward her minions
throughout the galaxy.
"Kill whoever that might be Washu reincarnation."
**
Ranma was furious, but she doesn't understand why she was so angry
about being called Washu. Every time someone call her that, she
would
have the odd sense of being taunt, if was as if that name mock her
for some reason. The name also somehow touch something inside her,
it
was the same feeling she get from the red gem tone she received from
her grandfather the day she declare she want nothing to do with her
male side. Since she was at the topic she took out the gem as she
stare at it dumbly, it was amazed her that the gem stone seems to be
alive yet every test she run though the stone the result was
negative
in return. It was imply illogical for every time when she was
emotional, all she need is just stare at the tiny red gem and she
will feel as if everything will turn out fine.
"What are you looking at?" A voice suddenly interrupts her daydream
as she barely managed to control the urge to jump up. She frowns as
she saw who is the owner of the voice, but she ignored him and
returns her gem into her subspace pocket. "Ms you still haven't
answer me what are you staring at." Tenchi still used the most
friendly tone he could master even she was the one who send him into
the hospital.
"You know you are persistent?" Finally Ranma answer, but the tone
she
was using Tenchi knew if one more wrong word, he could say hello to
hospital for another month.
"Well, some say it is one of my good points. Now come on I am sorry
to call you Washu but really you look remarkable alike the friend of
mine who is by that name."
"…Ok, but don't ever call me that name or this time I will make sure
you never walk the same way after I go though with you."
Tenchi swallow hard and reply nervously "Crystal."
"Here this is what I am looking at." Ranma show the ponytail boy her
gem.
"T-This is!?!" *Aren't that one of Ryoko's gems? *
"Beautiful ain't it? My grandpa gave it to me as a present. He said
it was a family treasure that pass down ever since the first Habuki
exist."
"You know something Ranma?"
"Yeah? What is it?"
"When I look upon this gem I got this funny feeling that a lot of
trouble will soon find us."

Deep in one of the space bar Ryoko was furious, she conclude that
all
genius exclude her mother are spineless, all she asked is a to fix
the goddamn device, but as soon as they know it was a dimension
device. They flat out refuse to repair it and flee from their
respective planet as if it was a disease. Suddenly Ryoko realized
her
sake was out again so naturally she order again, after what good of
having tons of reward money after she turn in the most wanted
criminal in the galaxy by accident if she don't spend in good old
fashion sake.
"Waiter, give me another bottle of sake."
"Excuse me miss, but this is your forty bottle already."
"So, give me another bottle goddamn it, don't you see a gal need
some
alcohol to cheer herself?"
"Alright miss but I strongly suggest this should be the last one."
"Fine, fine just gives me the bottle will cha?"
"Here you are." The bartender put another bottle of sake in front of
Ryoko as usual Ryoko grab the bottle and drink without even using a
cup.
It wasn't everyday you could see a beautiful lady keep drinking like
no tomorrow, due to curious one of the customer decide to asked the
depress ex-space pirate about her problem. "Miss, why you look so
depresses?"
Ryoko spare the guy a look though her drunken eyes as she realized
the fellow was reasonable handsome, with strong and muscle body that
radiate danger who is actually a complete contra to Tenchi gentle
warm type. However the smile, that almost sincere smile break her
emotional defense as she decides she could trust the man a little
with her problem. "Why? I tell you why, this is all because of that
god damn stupid device Washu had create, it not only sent all of us
to this god forsake place with no way to return home. And day by day
my power getting weaker, by this rate I am sure I will reduce to be
as weak as that stuck up in the ass Juraian princess who might
already get hold of my Tenchi virginity."
Unnoticed by Ryoko the bartender face grow darker as he heard Ryoko
mention Washu. However he masked it quickly before Ryoko notice it.
He decide he might able to get more information where to look for
Washu which they are seriously lacking, if he is lucky he might even
get the location where his goddess was seal. "Why I think you must
be joking. As far as I know the one and only Washu is the Juraian
Goddess, and I hear say she had die millennium ago after her final
confront with the dark goddess Tokimi. Since than no one dare to
used
that name as they afraid of Divine wrath either from Lady Tokimi
servant or Washu followers."
"What are you talking about Washu a goddess? Don't make me laugh! If
she was a goddess that what make me as her daughter, a goddess too?
Beside the last time I check the Juraian Goddess is Tsunami."
*Interesting, this girl actually dare to claim as Washu daughter and
she also know the third goddess name which I am sure no one except
those who are either those accursed remaining Juraian or followers
of
Tokimi knew. Maybe . . . *

Years of content life and death battle does tend to sharpen one
danger sense, as Ryoko suddenly felt unease by the bartender
intensive stare, using a bit of her power she quickly return sober
and jump backward into a ready stance. "Who are you?" She was glade
she found out the man intention early, since she couldn't imagine
what will happen to her if she gets caught up with those nasty
looking energy bolts that carve into the table and soon reducing it
to nothingness.
"Hn, I was expecting the easy way but you sort of make this had for
both of us. So I guess I should resort to more violent way."
Ryoko narrow her eyes as she smirk, "Well, bring it on." Without
warning Ryoko release a quick energy bold to test his opponent,
hoping that it could help her getting a better estimate where is her
opponent skill level.
Although Ryoko was using her weakest attack but she still surprise
when the man don't even bother to avoid the blast as he took the
punishment as if it was nothing. As reward the man punch the off
guard Ryoko. Sending the weaken Ryoko to kiss the hard wall. But
that
man doesn't give Ryoko time to hesitate as he launch another series
of his attack. Luckily Ryoko managed to escape into the astral
planet
and teleport behind the man with a good distance.
Ryoko spit out the blood from her mouth, "Mind if I know what is the
fellow who is going to kill me?"
"Aurin, one of the Three Knights of Lady Tokimi. Beside I won't kill
you just merely maim you so you can still talk." The knight wills
his
weapon out from his subspace pocket as the bio weapon warp itself
tightly around his hand creating a spike glove. When he finished, he
attacked again with even faster pace than before.
*Damn, judging from that punch I received just now alone, I can
admit
that this punk could really give me a run for my money even I am not
weaken without my gem. * As Ryoko avoid the series of punch and
kicking she scan around the area, looking for a way to get out from
the mess or at least buy her move time until she come out with a
better plan. *Damn, and I swear to myself I will never use that
forbidden technique again since than, oh well. *
**
Aurin was confused as the clan hair woman regains her trademark
smirk
even she was currently in disadvantage. Being a careful, Aurin
immediately jump away when he sense an intensive power up from
Ryoko.
"School of Habuki Anything Goes Final Attack!"
Aurin gasp in honor as he wonder what sort of devastating attack the
child of Washu could perform.
"Run away!"
Aurin fall down hard, and hurt his neck in the process. "Oh yeah,
what can I expect from the Goddess of Knowledge daughter, a fair
fight?" Second later if Ryoko could see his expression she might
consider fight and die in combat will be better than facing a piss
off Tokimi's Knight.

Author Note:
Wow, wow, wow! I get this chapter done pretty fast for my liking but
I hope you folks like it. As usual if I get more reveal and I will
write faster otherwise well ^^;
To Nuki Mouse review:
Good, inovated, but somewhat confusing. Why is Ranma using Habuki as
her sirname? You made it clear she still a Saotome, but she's also a
Habuki?
Well, I guess these might spoil the story a bit but this is just
for you. I put Nodoka father dislike Genma to the point after he
find
out all those engagement, training methods and stuff, he removed
Ranma from Genma clan, but Ranma sort of like to refer herself as
Saotome, after all habits die hard ne? ^^ Furthermore I DID mention
that she was a formal Saotome in the story didn't I?
If you didn't make it clear Nodoka was NOT Washu in adult form, I
might have thought Ranma was Washu's 3rd (or would it be 4th? 5th?)
child.
Well the story title IS No need for `Little' Ranma and I think
Washu
trademark is hoping people would call her little Washu? ^^
Still, I like the story and look forward to reading the rest
Thanks that means a lot you know!
