Ukyo: Disclaimers are on part one! Don't worry, I'll let you know if there's anything else we need to disclaim.
Grimm: Lemme go!
Ukyo: Silence! If you ever want to get out of that cage you'll do what I say! Now type it as I say it! Type it fool!

Ukyo and Ranma got married and live happily ever after. Akane dies of several intestinal diseases and Shampoo is deported and her ship sinks at sea, drowning her. Ukyo has five hundred children and they're all as cute as Ranma-honey (whack) I mean Ranma.


Part 2 1/2
It Moves the Plot

All was quiet in the Tendo house, Ryoga had shown up shortly after they arrived home, interestingly enough he came out of the bathroom(but no one saw him go in), Nabiki was going to question him about that but decided she didn't really want to risk whatever the answer might be.
As she sat at her desk working on various projects-a contract for Kuno, a scam contract for Ukyo, and a picture of a froggy jumping into a pond-she was blissfully unaware of the evil eyes that watched her and plotted.

"I hate this one the most." Saizo scoffed. "She looks to much like Yuki."
"Let her be." Sakon sighed. "She's done nothing to you, and she's left your swamp."
"FOREST!" Saizo screamed. "It's a forest and don't you forget it!" She looked at the mortal girl again, working with her various contracts and her fool picture. "Look at her! She's the spitting image of Yuki!" Saizo scoffed.
"That short one is the spitting image of you, you know." Sakon said before he thought. "So no doubt this family is our distant descendants and we should leave them alone." He added quickly.
"He *have* no descendants! We had no children!" Saizo growled.
"Yes well . . . perhaps they're the children of my younger brother-after all they did know our legend . . ."
"I haven't been dead so long that I've become a fool! You don't have a brother, and I don't care." Saizo scoffed. "That one, I hate her." Saizo grinned. "She'll go first."

Ryoga snuck into Akane's room with a box of chocolates from Hokkaido. He made absolutely sure that he was in the right room, then hid himself. He'd pop out and give her the chocolates!
He heard voices, and he hid behind the door.
"Don't you have a 'forest' to haunt?" A familiar voice asked.
"I'm tired of that my love. These campers were a hellsend, I'll rend them asunder." A woman's voice.
"I'm not sure what that means," the man from the swamp said as he walked into Akane's room. "But I suspect it's bad."
"Indeed it is for them. Oh I know you grow tired of it all my dear husband, but this is my hobby."
"After what you did you call me 'husband'? Saizo you're twisted and evil. You are nothing like the woman I married." The two came into the room. One was the man from the swamp, the other was . . . Akane?
Akane with a strange inner glow. She wore a tattered and torn Kimono that looked as if it'd been pulled out of a fire. The man from the swamp was dressed the same as he'd been in the swamp, but he had a strange inner glow as well.
"I don't really care how twisted or evil I am." Akane said. "All I know is that this little family will be the most fun I've had in years! You notice that older girl? The one who cooks? I think I'll slip a few rats in her stew tonight, lets see how that goes."
"What would that accomplish?" The odd man from the swamp asked.
"It'd be worth a laugh!" Akane said harshly. Far to harshly to be Akane!
Ryoga was bewildered! What were they talking about? Akane had to be rehearsing for a play!
"I know!" Akane said with a grin. "I'll possess that boy with the pigtail, and get those two girls pregnant, you know, the ones who always follow him!"
"You will not!" The man said sternly. "You will not go so far as to bring new and innocent lives into this world simply because it'd be 'worth a laugh' Saizo!"
Akane/Saizo turned on the man. "Is that so Sakon? Well what will you do to stop me? You can't kill me, that's been taken care of." She said with a wicked laugh.
This couldn't be a play rehearsal, what was going on?
"Saizo! You're mad! Think about what you're saying! Why these people? Why anyone at all?" Sakon asked. "I was the one who hurt you, not them."
"Because I can." Saizo shrugged. "And hurting them pains you, so I love it all the more. Say, I wonder where that pig went, I could have him cooked for dinner to make that little girl cry."
'Whoa!' Ryoga thought. 'I don't like the sound of this at all.'
Sakon took a fighting stance. "Saizo!" He grunted. "Were going back to the swamp!"
"You can't make me." Saizo shrugged. "And it's a forest."
"Were going back." Sakon repeated. "And no Saizo, it's a swamp. It's a stupid, stupid swamp and that's all there is to it! You won't cut up that pig, you won't get those girls pregnant, you won't kill *anyone* and you will not stay here!" Sakon reached into his old-ish robes and drew a long dagger. "Come quietly or else."
"No!" Ryoga cried, lunging forward towards Sakon. It'd been a reflex, he couldn't let anyone hurt Akane! "Don't hurt Akane!" he cried. But he kept running, and fell on his face. When he got up and looked back there was no one there.

"What the-" Saizo asked with a wicked laugh.
"Fool boy!" Sakon grunted.
"Keeheehee!" Saizo cackled. "Oh what a fool! Hey Sakon, do you think he can see us?"
"He tried to attack me didn't he? He must have thought you were the little daughter, I told you she looks just like you." Sakon shook his head. "I didn't allow myself to be seen, did you?"
Saizo shrugged. "I don't think so."
"Then how did he?" Sakon wondered out loud.
Saizo shrugged again. "Maybe we got sloppy."
"Saizo." Sakon said. "Promise me, you won't kill anyone. On our love promise me!"
Saizo huffed. "Fine. I won't kill anyone . . . but that doesn't mean I won't have fun with them."
"Don't ruin their lives just because they still have lives to live." Sakon said coldly.
Saizo glared at him. How dare he? Well that was fine because she'd lied about not killing anyone. "Oh, and Sakon, one thing." She said.
"What?" Sakon asked.
"It's a forest." Saizo said sweetly. She then floated away to seek out a pair of nice fat rats.

Ryoga rubbed the bump on his head and sighed. "Should I tell everyone about this? Who'd believe me?" He shook his head to clear it.
"Ryoga!" Akane said as she came into the room. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh! Akane!" Ryoga said, utterly forgetting the things he'd just heard as a wave of shyness overtook him. "I eh . . . well I just got back from Hokkaido and I had these chocolates, and well their too sweet for my liking but I thought you might like them because your sweet-eh I mean you like chocolate right?"
"Uh . . . sure Ryoga, thanks." Akane said.
"I uh . . . better be going." Ryoga said. It wasn't until he'd run out of Akane's room that he remembered Sakon and Saizo. "Oh! Wait!" He cried, but Akane had closed the door. Ryoga took a deep breath. "Man, what was that? Did I imagine it? I had too . . . what else could the answer be? Yeah. I fell asleep waiting for Akane, that's it.
"Hey P-Chan!" Female-Ranma called. "Bath time!"
"What the-" Ryoga ran for dear life as Ranma chased him with a water gun. "Grow up a little, what are you doing?! Ranma!!"

Nabiki slid into a nice hot bath. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. The steam rose and fogged up the nearby mirror. She leaned back and closed her eyes, suddenly the door swung open and she heard screaming.
Kasumi walked in and grabbed father's razor. "Rats!" She cried. "Rats!"
Nabiki groaned as Kasumi ran off, leaving the door wide open. "Hey Kasumi!" She shouted, but no reply came.
Nabiki relaxed a bit. Who'd bother her anyway? Akane? The only guy in the house was Ranma, and what were the odds he'd bother her? Besides, she was far to relaxed to get out of the bath and close the door herself.
A mistake. She closed her eyes. She heard Ranma laughing her head off and screaming "I got you P-Chan! I got you!"
Suddenly there was a squealing sound. "Squee!" then something jumped into the bath like a rock. Ryoga emerged from the water with a big splash. "Ranma! I'll tare you limb from limb!"
Ranma stuck her head in the door. "Oh you silly willie, you wouldn't hurt little ol me now would-" Ranma fell silent when he and Nabiki's eyes met and locked. "Eh . . . g'bye!" she cried as she ran off.
"You better run!" Nabiki shouted. "You too!" She snapped at Ryoga.
Ryoga stumbled to get out of the immediate area, and slipped and hit his head. He mumbled something that sounded like "not again" as he went down.

Ryoga opened his eyes slowly, he sat up in bed and looked around.
Wait a minute . . . in bed? What happened? He was lying in some one's bed, in some one's room.
"Finally awake huh?" Nabiki asked.
"Oh!" Ryoga said. "Did I fall asleep in here?"
"You don't remember?" Nabiki questioned.
"Well no." Ryoga said "I don't remember much of anything . . ." He frowned and tried to focus. He did remember coming back from Hokkaido with chocolate for Akane, and he vaguely remembered being chased by Ranma. Everything else was a blur. Except one thing . . . something he'd herd somewhere. "Saizo". What the word meant he wasn't sure.
"Good." Nabiki said. "I wouldn't want you remembering the events of today." She went back to her deskwork.
"Why? Did something bad happen?" Ryoga asked "Ouch!" He said as he felt the bumps on his head. "I hit my head?"
"Yep." Nabiki said. "And we'll just leave it at that for now."

Saizo sat on the roof of the Tendo household sulking. At Sakon's request (and threat) she'd agreed not to get the two girls pregnant, and she'd agreed not to kill the pig.. "Wouldn't have been that much fun anyway." She said to herself. She'd also agreed not to kill people, but she didn't plan on holding up that bargain 'But there is one thing I never agreed to' Saizo thought to herself with a wicked smile. 'I said I wouldn't get those two girls pregnant, and I said I wouldn't kill the pig.' She reasoned. 'I said nothing about that girl that looks like Yuki!'

Little did Saizo know, she wasn't the only evil force plotting evil yet utterly stupid things.
