Mina, sorry about the long delay. My muddled mind just can't seem to stay focused. Sorry, Sorry, sorry.
I can't help but notice I'm on the favorites list of one Jellybee22. I am quite honored. Please feel free to contact me at any time. I sometimes share some of my advanced work as I mull over it.

It was D-day. The day he had been dreading the most. The day he made Ranma's decision's known. He was broken out of his thoughts when he heard Akane call out.
"Kasumi, were home, we brought Ukyou home as well."
Kasumi's voice rings from the kitchen "That's nice, Mamoru has called a family conference in the dinning room."
Akane, Nabiki, and Ukyou walk in on both Soun and Nodoka crying on each other for support while Genma is lying twisted in a corner. Mamoru and Cologne are sitting next to each other with their heads down. Dr. Tofu is also there, standing by himself looking nervous.
Mamoru sighs upon noticing Akane, Nabiki, and Ukyou entering the room. "Sit down everyone, this will not be easy."
Akane sits down turning white. "What's wrong?" Mamoru had never looked so depressed before. Could something have happened to Ranma, and Cologne, she looks older than I have ever seen her before... as if that is even possible.
Cologne breaks the silence. "Ranma being removed from the chaos that is his life and having time to think and have a non judgmental ear to listen to has made some decisions. Very painful decisions."
Mamoru takes over. "It had always been Ranma's wish that he could resolve the fiancée problem without causing any pain. I informed him that that no matter what he did, there would be pain, and the longer the situation remained unresolved, the more pain there would be."
Nabiki "Then I take it that being Shampoo is not here, than she is not part of the final solution?"
Mamoru glances at her and then looks at everyone letting the silence do his speaking for him. "Everyone in there own way is part of the final solution if they chose to be. A few days ago I entered negotiations with Cologne who has agreed with my idea. Ranma has unknowingly built his own village around him. I see no reason why we can't solidify that village and enter a treaty of understanding and cooperation with Cologne's village."
Nabiki face faults, "I can't believe it's that easy."
Cologne "It is not, there are certain concession that will have to be made, it will take the rest of our lives to see this through."
Akane begins to sweat. "What sort of concessions?"
Mamoru "Cologne's village is willing to release their claim on Ranma for genetic samples, and training of their warriors in the Anything Goes Style."
Nabiki weighs the options. "That sounds reasonable."
Akane "And of course that pervert would agree to such a thing."
Mamoru not happy with Akane's attitude knocks her chip of her shoulder. "I'll give you that Akane if you can tell me how artificial insemination and allowing a closed off village to boost their gene pool and fighting ability is perverse."
Akane thinks for several seconds and backs down. "Your right, I'm sorry."
Nabiki makes an obscure comment. "Ok that brings it down to three."
Mamoru "The Kuno girls claim is invalid, if every girl he ever helped claimed to be his fiancée then how many fiancée do you think Ranma would have."
Ukyou breaks the silence. "More than you could count."
Nabiki "Ok that brings it down to two."
Mamoru frowns at her. "Nabiki, don't sound so cold hearted about this. One of these honorable young women will be hurt."
Nabiki looks down at the floor and blushes. It is not often she finds herself put in her place. "I'm sorry."
Mamoru looks at the tow girls in question "Akane, Ukyou? It has recently been discovered through an examination of Ranma's memories that Genma had about fifty-five opportunities to engage Ranma for brothels. Genma has finally admitted to at least fifteen, possibly more. This has forever soiled the Saotome name."
Ukyou flinches at this news. "That bastard, to think he put so many girls through this heartache."
Mamoru sighs. "Ranma agrees, seeing no way to salvage the name it has been decided that Genma will be cast out and the family name abandoned. Nodoka has only been consulted on one such engagement, which she approved of reluctantly long ago."
Getting teary eyed Ukyou looks up at Mamoru. "Then that means?"
Mamoru looked her straight in the eye with compassion and sorrow. "I'm sorry Ukyou, Ranma has decided to take on the family name of Tendo."
Ukyou screams out and starts to wail screaming how she loves him. She is the cute fiancée, how could he do this to her. Every one in the room looked down at the floor trying to give her a bite of privacy. Finally, she starts to speak. "I no longer have a family. My father will dishone me, I'll have no name, no family. My restaurant will be striped from me as well as my right to practice the family art. How will I face my peers? I am so alone, so very alone."
Mamoru breaks her ranting. "You are wrong Ukyou, so very wrong. You could be adopted by Cologne's village, the Tendos, or I could somehow adopt you into my family as my sister. As to the restaurant... I'll buy the thing out right if I have to. As to the art... I'm afraid I don't really understand. I know Ranma wants you to train in Anything Goes and the art lives off taking the best techniques from many styles. You are as much a part of The Village of Nerima as anyone here. So never think of yourself as being alone or shamed when you're around us. Do you understand?"
Ukyou looks up at him and tries to blink back tears. Finally, she can no longer fight the pain and breaks into sobs. Mamoru could have sworn he saw a look of relief on her face when he informed her that she was not entirely unwanted. That she would have family she could depend on. She had choices. Slowly Dr. Tofu hit a few pressure points and led Ukyou up to the guest room to calm down.
Mamoru whispering to Cologne "I hated to do that, I like Ranma wish there could have been some other way."
Cologne "Shampoo's response was equally the same. Ranma in the end would have not of had a choice."
Mamoru "I can feel him wailing in my mind right now, feeling the same pain that both those two do. He has a good heart."
Cologne "That he does."
Akane looks down at the floor interrupting their conversation. "I can now see how much she loved him, I always thought it was because of the brothel and arranged engagement. I should never of gotten mad at him for not trying to shake the others lose before, my response would have been the same."
Cologne "You all loved him, and he knew it."
Mamoru "He wanted friends more than anything else, to hurt any one of you meant the loss of a friend, or at least that's how he saw it; however, in the end, there could be only one." ^_^
Akane "Is there anything that we can do for her."
Mamoru "No.. Let her compose herself, let her realize the true meaning of the situation."
Akane blinks. "That is?"
Cologne "She is free, Genma has gone down in flames. Abandoned by his family, any arrangement he has made in the past is now knoll and void. ... Mamoru at first I despised who you where, I now see you as a good-hearted person who is willing to answer a person's plea for help. This is a great asset."
Mamoru "I understand Elder, in the end, we all had what was the best intentions."
Nabiki "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
Mamoru "I hope we have made a u-turn."
Cologne "A u-turn?"
Mamoru "A term for drivers, A 180 degree turn off of ones path."
Cologne "In that case child, I hope we have to."
The Tendo home was somber that evening. Ukyou finally calmed down enough to go home. Mamoru told her to truly think about her options and not to just pass them off as some sort of consolation prize. Ranma still wanted her in his life as a very close friend.
He was woken later that night by a strange sound.
'What is that? Crying? There has been to much of that in this house today.'
Opening his eyes, he focuses on the sound of crying and realizes that it's coming from Akane's room. Resolving himself, he gets up and heads to her room. Outside the door he knocks, the door slowly opening to the force. The crying dies down a little bit into sniffles. Noticing that Akane is lying face down on her bed hugging her pillow he walks over and kneels next to her bed wrapping a arm around her.
Akane between sniffles "What are you doing?"
Mamoru "You miss him don't you?"
Akane "This should be the happiest day of my life, but I'm crying, because he is not here to share it with me."
Mamoru "He is feeling rather bad himself Akane. He is aware of the environment I'm in but can't see it, until I show him the days events, or directly interact with it. My arm around you right now is a indirect way for him to be here for you. Tell you what, he told me to tell you to move over."
Akane slowly moves over and lets Mamoru get under the covers with her.
Akane "Don't you try anything."
Mamoru "I won't do anything unless Ranma tells me to do it. What happens now is between you and Ranma. Ranma loves you so much it's hurting even me. I can feel his pain radiating throughout my mind."
Akane "I'm sorry."
Mamoru brings his arms around her and bringing her as close as he can to him. "Don't be you cute tomboy." Kissing her on the forehead he relaxes onto the bed."
Akane relaxes into the hug. "What happen to uncute Ranma?"
A slight pause, "I was always referring to your behavior, you have always been attractive."
Akane starts to blush and runs her hand through his hair "I see?" Akane looks at her fiancées body face and gives in. Twisting ever so slightly she starts to kiss him. At first Mamoru backs of but by Ranma's prodding he eventually pulls her closer and returns the kiss. A half hour later, both are asleep in each other's arms.
)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*))*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*))*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)
'What's that brushing my lips? Ranma, the engagement, last night. O my god.' "Mamoru, No Baka!"
Ranma's body is seen flying across the room into a wall.
Mamoru "What did you do that for you uncute tomboy."
Akane "I thought we covered that last night?"
Mamoru "I told Mamoru to convey that to you last night."
Akane goes wide eye and tears up just a little bit. "Ranma?"
Realizing what is going on. "I guess once all the stress was gone we swapped places."
Akane "This is a dream, it has got to be, nothing this good ever simply just happens to us."
Ranma "Wait a second? Looks like we still have contact, this could switch back at any moment or never. Mamoru suggests we go to Dr. Tofu's later today and look into it."
Akane "I see, Nabiki will be disappointed."
Ranma "Yes I know, even I could see the feeling develop between those two. I'm not going to worry about that however."
Akane "Your not, why you incensi..........." She was muffled as soon as Ranma began to kiss her."
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Dr. Tofu "I see, so this happen some time last night? What where the conditions?"
Ranma "Well Doc, We had just finished up with Ukyou and had called it a night, Mamoru noticed Akane crying later that night and went to go comfort her at my prompting. We woke up like this the next morning."
Dr. Tofu "I see. Well as for as I can tell..."
"Good." The next thing Ranma saw was a blur. Dr. Tofu saw Cologne knock out Ranma and Shampoo caring him off leaving a note.
Dr. Tofu looked at the note "Dear Gang, I'm sorry I mislead all of you, but the truce would not have been good enough to save Shampoo's honor, do not follow, or the next time we meet it shall be mortal combat."
Dr. Tofu sits down and copulates things.... "Damn, this is not good." He promptly reaches for the phone and calls the Tendo's.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Mamoru "What the bloody hell happen?"
Ranma "There is only one person who could take me out like this."
Mamoru "That witch, well at least she does not know about the link still being intact."
Ranma "I've been thinking about that."
Mamoru "As soon as she notices it, she will try and break it."
Ranma "I am going to hide it."
Mamoru "I wish I understood this Ki stuff. How?"
Ranma "We are going to break it, and leave a key to the back door."
Mamoru "Is that possible?"
Ranma "While your body was unconscious I had plenty of time to experiment with Ki, learned a lot. In fact I've already done this several times."
Mamoru "YOU WHAT!?"
Ranma "Calm down, if I thought there would have been any risk, I would never have tried. Now listen there are some people I want you to contact, and this is what I want you to do."
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
His two children looked at them as if he had two heads. Everyone else in the room is smiling smugly at the old memories.
Jack "There is no way great-grandmother would have done such a thing."
Jill "To have acted so dishonorably."
Mamoru decided to give his children a rest. "Yes children she did act dishonorably, but her actions are reasonable considering what was the stake for Shampoo. We just did not know what the stakes were at the time."
Jill "Just what was at stake for Shampoo Father?"
Mamoru looked at his daughter. "That would be putting the cart before the horse. You will find out in due time."
Jack's could no longer hold in his anticipation. "So father what happen next?"
Mamoru "That son is a story for another day. Its late, will continue this tomorrow."

Final-Fan -- Thanks for the reviews and the tip. I've already acted on it as you can see. As to the reviews. You are the second reviewer. I have not erased anything. I'm glad your enjoying the fic.
Well everyone that's it for the first arc of this story. I've decided to do a major rewrite on the second arc, so it will be a while before you see it and update on this story. The rewrite is proving more difficult than I previously thought. I'll try to be as quick as possible about it. Again all constructive comments are welcomed.
Ookii Mamoru
A little sneak peak in what I have in store. :) Moohahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Mamoru sat quietly in Tenchi's living room waiting for him to return from the field. His thought wondered back to the meeting with Tenchi's grandfather. "Be sure to tell him not to worry about any secrets." 'Now what could the old man have meant by that. Just what he needed, another strange situation and more secrets to deal with. As-if Ranma had not put enough on his shoulders with the Senshi.' He was startled when he saw a girl float through the ceiling towards him oblivious of his presence. She had spiked hair that went in all directions. Her eyes looked like they belonged to a cat. Suddenly she noticed him and those eyes narrowed into a threatening/defensive glare. "Who are you she demanded."
Boy I'm bad. :)
Ookii Mamoru
As always constructive criticism is appreciated.

"Be sure to tell him not to worry about any secrets." 'Now what could the old man have meant by that. Just what he needed, another strange situation and more secrets to deal with. As-if Ranma had not put enough on his shoulders with the Senshi.' He was startled when he saw a girl float through the ceiling towards him oblivious of his presence. She had spiked hair that went in all directions. Her eyes looked like they belonged to a cat. Suddenly she noticed him and those eyes narrowed into a threatening/defensive glare. "Who are you she demanded."
Boy I'm bad. :)
