Ranma was surprised yes he was, Rock had gain a lot since he last fought him back in South Town when he tried to enter Geese Tower.

But Ranma could feel that the boy had exhausted himself and Ranma's Ki was still burning strong after such a release of Ki. Ranma slam his fist into the ground and large stream of dark Ki ripped up the ground until it reach a tree and destroyed it.

"Following me huh"? Ranma spoke to the man that had just been behind the tree.

"Bosses order." Spoke a thick accented voice

"Tell him I've found Rock, did she follow you Billy?" Billy just laughs and walk away followed by Hopper.

"Damn." Ranma walk over to Rock, Geese's son was still breathing even if it was a bit labored, Ranma leaned pick him by his coat and threw him over his shoulder and proceeded to his mother's house.

****************

Ranma walk threw the door. "Mom I'm back." He threw Rock on the couch.

"Hello Son" His mother sounded a little too happy and giddy for her own, He walked into the kitchen and saw the wide smile his mother had on her face.

"Ranma." Ranma had heard the voice a thousand times it was always reminded him of gentle flowing water.

"Victoria." Ranma spoke the name while being hugged from behind by said girl he just turned in the gentle embrace to look her in the face.

The girl was beautiful with long dark brown hair, gray eyes a beautiful smile, and her skin was a very light brown.

"What are you doing here 'toria?" he use his pet name for her

"I missed you silly, and since i kept asking where you we're Geese simply told Billy to bring me to see you."

"I missed you too." Nodding his head that's why Billy was laughing, " I guess you've already met my mother?" Victoria just nodded Ranma's mother was sweet but kind of weird to.

"Later mom." His mom still had one of those goofy grin on her face.

Ranma turned back to Victoria. "Rock's in the living room"

"You didn't hurt him too bad did you?" at his nod she grab his hand and started dragging him towards the dojo

"Come on i want to spar with you." she proceeded to drag him to the dojo that Nodoka had shown her earlier

Once they reach the dojo, they stood on opposite ends of the dojo; Ranma took his arms out his shirt to let it hang on his waist, and took his standard stance, while Victoria took a modified Tae Kwon Do stance.

"Tae Kwon Do? I thought you we're the queen of Muay Tai." Ranma was surprised she had been practicing Muay Tai since he'd known her, some say she would be better then her father one day.

"You'll see."

Ranma just smirk "Alright, C'mon."

She rushed forward and came with a roundhouse and rabbit punch and sidekick combination Ranma block, duck and roll away from the attack. 'Toria' frowned

"You're holding back on me."

"Yup."

"Well stop"

She attacked again with a roundhouse that was caught in an Atemi-Nage and she was thrown across the room.

"You have gotten better I'll admit."

She just got up with renewed strength she switch her stance back to her personal Muay Thai.

"I see your really ready now." he knew she would always revert back to Muay Tai it was her bread and butter.

She attacked with a sweep, which was jump over, two roundhouses and sidekick she was Atemi-Nage to other side of the dojo again.

She was up and in his face in a blink on an eye, with two rabbit punches which were knock to the side she roll into his defense "Tiger Uppercut" Ranma just leaned back but was surprise when a foot caught him in the chest.

"You like that one." Victoria was mad Ranma just didn't take her serious in the fight

"Yeah, Let's go"

She rushed forward with rabbit punches a super fast roundhouse a side kick which Ranma block and countered with a palm strike that knock the wind out of her chest.

"C'mon kitten let's end this." Ranma analyzing her style the entire time and decided to end the sparring the same way he always does.

She rush forward at amazing speeds ready her most powerful Tiger Uppercut when 3 words stop

"I love you." Ranma spoke the words and the reaction was immediate Victoria stumble right into his waiting arms.

"I love you too." They shared a passionate kiss that might have led to other things if they weren't interrupted

"You never did tell me how you met." Ranma turned around to see his Mom grinning like mad.

Ranma and Victoria tried to light the dojo with their blushes and slowly let go of each other.

"Well we met while I was in Thai Land, I was looking for a dojo and a master to teach me Muay Thai." Ranma shot a look at Victoria.

"When I see this girl in the park fighting off what seem like hundreds of guys" This earned a perplexed look from Nodoka

"The day before I had stopped a robbery and the gang members wanted payback." Victoria shrugged

"She looked like she was doing pretty well and basically just toying with them so I wasn't going to interfere, until I saw some punk trying to sneak her from behind with a knife." Ranma clenched his fist in angry

Victoria took over "I was occupied with 4 of the guys that actually had some skill in the art of Muay Thai so I didn't notice the guy until a blast of energy blew the punk away." Victoria smirked as Ranma had calm down after hearing about how he blow the guy away

"After the other guys had ran away, I found Ranma and we must have talked for hours and hours about martial arts and our past, that when I found out that Ranma was here to learn Muay Thai."

"Yeah, and just about then I ask her for her name." Ranma grinned

Nodoka didn't get it so she might just as well ask

"So what's your full name dear?"

"Victoria Sagat."

*WHAM*

Ranma chuckled a his mother sat up and ask

"You wouldn't happen to be Victor Sagat's daughter would you?" Nodoka felt stupid asking but oh well

"Yes"

Nodoka looked at her son "He didn't hurt you too bad did he?"

Ranma just looked hurt.

Hour or so later…

"Yeah basically I just trained there and she was my training partner, and we sort of fell in love."

Victoria nodded in agreement.

Nodoka just looked happy and wishes her son happiness and left the couple alone in the dojo.

Ranma and Victoria started doing Kata's, based on tight defense and brutally efficient offense.

They move together as if in a dance. The Kata's change from inhumanly fast too incredibly slow.

After a few hours they stopped, they were sweating and breathing hard but both had intense smiles on their faces.

Victoria look at her lover and saw him staring off into outer space he did this on occasion whenever he was thinking about his life in South Town.

"Ranma, I'm going to go check on my future mother-in-law."

Ranma simply nodded his mind still too far off.

Ranma remove his shirt and sat in the middle the dojo. Suddenly a black flame exploded from his body. The flame was black with hints of purple and red, and as suddenly as it came it was gone.

Ranma could feel 'him' coming. When he felt the familiar taste of the 'evil' energies he flared his own aura in response.

That was when a scream from the house broke his concentration.

"TIGER"

****

Skill fighters on all sides they had just materialized from nowhere it seemed liked and had surrounded Victoria.

They had tranquilized a still exhausted Rock so he was no help; Ranma was still in his zone so she had to get his attention…

"TIGER" She screamed as she slams her hands together and sent a large blue wave of energy at her attackers.

"REPPU KEN" A large blast of dark purple energy tore though the ground destroying everything in its path.

"Ranma they took your mother and they got Rock." Victoria spoke while slamming her palm into her attackers chest

"WHAT" Ranma was frantic he had just been reunited with his mother and now some fool thought he could take her from him.

Victoria was still fighting off the ninja/soldier people who had surrounded her until she felt her lovers Ki ignite.

"WHERE IS MY MOTHER" Ranma screamed at one of guys still conscious from his earlier attack. When no answer came he threw the guy back to the ground.

Ranma looked closer at the man no boy he looked like a normal high school student. That was when Ranma looked at the rest off the group of attackers some had on kendo outfits some of them were sumo wrestlers and even baseball players.

They were just children and he had almost killed them with the power he put into his 'Reppu Ken'

"Victoria stay here I know who did this and there going to pay dearly."

"Who did this"?

"Genma Saotome, probably figured he could make me marry one of Tendo's daughters if he had some kind of advantage" Ranma voice was soft and control "But to take his own wife to use as a bargaining chip" Ranma just walk slowly forward…

"Wait MARRY???" Victoria screeched destroying the dramatic mood while Ranma ran down the street with a large dust cloud behind him.

'She's going to kill me when I tell her about all of my fiancés'

(A.N: Sorry about the LONG wait but I was trying to make it longer but I just keep getting distracted and I need some motivation.)
