Confrontation at the Nekohaten

A New Beginning

Nabiki Tendo opened the door to her sisters room and woke the two lovebirds up. Well they were an odd pair in that they were sleeping on opposite ends of the room. Nabiki wondered how much of it was their determination to not do anything improper before marriage and how much was just their general uncertainty. It had been a rough week for them both. She thought they would find their own way in time or at least she dearly hoped so, since she feared her sister might never recover if it didn't work out. Nabiki sighed.

"Hey you two, time to get up." Nabiki was glad that, today at least, both seemed to be having peaceful dreams.

"Huh? What? Oh, its you Nabiki."

"Sis, you do know that I have an alarm clock right?"

"This is more fun, and besides I need your help."

Ranma asked, "What's up?"

"I want to get Kasumi to practice as well."

Akane nodded. I wish I knew more about what was coming, but Nabiki's idea definitely has merit. "She does like Dr. Tofu. She is just too traditional and keeps waiting for him to make a move or at least get over his silliness around her. What if we told her ... "

Plans were made and executed. Soon enough Mr. Tendo was teaching both Nabiki and Kasumi in the dojo. Kasumi was persuaded that, "It would be fun." and "It would give you something else in common with Dr. Tofu." She blushed a bit when that was said, but agreed to do it. Well she agreed when Ranma promised to make breakfast.

Akane and Ranma were in the kitchen. Ranma had shifted back to his male form.

"You know I think its stronger now. I think I can feel your feelings more clearly than yesterday."

"Any regrets?"

"Well, its a bit scary. It is odd not to be alone in your own head."

Ranma said in a tentative tone of voice, "Do you want to do that technique again this morning? We are not practicing right now, and yesterday's is still somewhat effective..."

"Yes.. Yes I do.. We have to face Cologne today after all and ... well I want to help with cooking..." Akane seemed worried, but whether about Cologne or cooking it was hard to say.

Ranma suspected that she did truly want the closeness that it brought. It was almost eerie in a way. "Its a pity that one of us isn't a better cook, still we can learn together. I'm sure breakfast will turn out fine."

Breakfast was simple, yet filling. Genma and Ranma were first to eat. Genma commented that it wasn't up to Kasumi's usual standard, and promptly panicked when Akane told him that she had helped with breakfast. Ranma and Kasumi followed suit almost right away, although Kasumi started with a small bite. Nabiki joined in once she judged that the panda showed no side effects.

"Thanks you two. It was nice to do something different for a change, and definitely nice to eat food cooked by someone else."

Ranma said, "Think nothing of it. We were glad to be able to help. So how was your refresher in the art?"

Soun said, "She did surprisingly well considering how long its been since she practiced. Kasumi has always focused on defense and avoidance. She could be very good one day. In a way her style, though young and unpolished, looks much like what I've seen Doctor Tofu use."

Akane replied, "You should keep it up, onechan. With all the craziness around Nerima, being able to protect yourself is definitely a good idea. Besides the art would give you something else in common with Dr. Tofu. Did you know that he has been working on trying not to act silly in your presence? I think he truly does care for you, you know.."

Nabiki looked at Akane. Laying it on a bit thick aren't you? Still maybe with Kasumi it was necessary. Hmm everyone is getting paired off but me. She almost regretted rejected Ranma when he arrived a year ago, but then she hadn't rejected this Ranma, but the one from back then. Such is life, I suppose.

Genma still couldn't believe Akane was involved in this cooking? What had happened? This was well edible.

"Oh... um.. oh my.."

Soun replied, "I agree, besides I need someone to train to help get me ready to teach again, and I would like nothing more than to train my daughter. We can spend some time when the others are at school, and then I can help you with the housework."

The time at school was uneventful, which is not to say nothing happened. Akane found a two for one sale on Kuno's and sent them both to the nurses office. Hinako attempted to drain Akane and him for being late, but he erected a tiny unseen magical shield to prevent it. Her chi draining skill was dangerous and somewhat unpredictable. She got frustrated and sent them into the hall. Ranma wondered if it would be possible to cure her completely short of those pressure points every day for a month..

Ranma sighed. It seemed it never ended. Still things were at last moving forward, and that brought a brief smile to him.

Akane looked over at Ranma. "Um why didn't we get drained?"

Ranma whispered to her: "A small shield. Today is too important to face it at less than our best."

Akane nodded and held her bucket. She hated wasting time. Stupid Kuno's. We only had enough time alloted to pound one of them. Still it was training.


After school ended, Akane and Ranma came up to the Nekohaten which had the closed sign out, the shades drawn tight, and the door locked.

Ranma peered at the door with a thoughtful expression for a minute before knocking.

Mouse opened the door. Shampoo for once didn't jump up and glomp Ranma but seemed to be fidgeting in her seat. Cologne sat behind the counter looking at a book then looked up at Ranma. It was as if the room was holding its breath in anticipation, although of what remained unclear.

"Welcome son in law."

"Good evening Matriarch Cologne, of the Joketsuzoko. You have guessed something of why we have come I take it?"

"I know that Ukyo Kuonji has all but given up on you after a talk you two had. I know that you defeated a kami and lived to tell the tale, and even saved young Ms. Tendo as well in the process. It takes some effort, but I can even faintly see the magic linking you two although its purpose is beyond me."

"I wouldn't have guessed that anyone today could see.. No matter. Mu Tzu, I have a gift for you if you will allow me to give it. I believe that I can give you normal sight. I ask nothing in return, save that you stop attacking Akane or myself without warning, and that you not reveal to anyone the truth about how your sight was restored or by who."

"I had already decided that it was time to stop the attacks. I learned allot from you during them Ranma. Yes, I would very much like to see normally. I will keep your secrets."

"Cologne, Shampoo, will you also make that promise? If not we can go elsewhere to do it."

Cologne stared at her reluctant son-in-law. "You have made me curious son in law. I will keep whatever happens secret, as long as you do what you said you are going to do, and nothing more. Shampoo will keep your secret as well. Won't you Shampoo?"

Shampoo grimaced. I know that tone. Betraying great grandmother when she makes that tone is usually suicidal. "Aye. I will, although I don't know why you would want to help stupid duck."

Ranma locked the door.

Akane replied, "There are people in this world that sometimes do things simply because they want to help." Of course Ranma wants the Amazon's to be in debt to us, to try to cancel out that kiss of marriage crap, but musn't bring that up.

Ranma said, "Lets go find a couch or a bed or something. This may take some time, and I need Mouse to be comfortable and remain still." They journeyed up to Mousse's room. It was a little crowded with everyone but bearable. Mouse sat on his bed. "Do not be alarmed about what happens next. We will explain later." "Mouse do yourself a favor and look away from Akane and myself for a few seconds." Ranma shifted to Ranma-chan.

"Sun star power, Make up!"

"Io lumina power, Make up!"

"Aiyah, husband control curse without water. How you do that?"

Cologne gasped. "You have become like those girls in Jubaan... How?"

"I said I would explain later. Sorry Mouse, but you being awake, makes this nearly impossible." Ranma touched a pressure point to render him unconscious. She then cast a small spell to stop any normal movement of his eyes and leave them open. "Akane will you join me. Try to pay attention to what I do. I realize this is too complex for you to learn yet, but perhaps it will be useful someday." Ranma took Akane's right hand in her left, and then held it against the side of Mouse's head. Ranma placed her right hand on the other side of Mouses head. Ranma then spun a web of spirit, water, and air into Mouse's eyes and the area around them.

After a few minutes Ranma-chan said, "It must have happened when he was very young. Perhaps a toddler. Something got in his eyes and damaged them. I think the damage has progressed over the years somewhat. This will take a little while. Eyes are very delicate, and I can not do things as well as I used to." She focused the flows of healing and a violet aura enveloped her. A second violet aura surrounded Akane and seemed to merge with Ranma's own. The cells responded, reforming into the arrangements they were meant to be. The impurities were removed and sent into the air. Ranma focused tiny sparks of chaos at them just to be safe. It took almost an hour before they were done. Finally Ranma-chan neutralized the original spell that kept his eyes from moving, and touched the counter pressure point.

"He will probably be tired when he wakes, but it will pass. His vision should be perfect now, or very nearly so. That took much longer than I had hoped. It is likely we too will be tired when we drop this transformation. Can we count on you two to not take advantage of that fact?" In a sad voice Ranma continued, "I assure you that even tired, I am still very dangerous now.."

"You are safe here. It would be very dishonorable to attack a healer after she spent her strength healing an Amazon." Shampoo nodded agreement.

Ranma replied, "Thank you." Ranma dropped his transformation and shifted back to male form. Akane dropped her own. They both sagged where they sat.

"Go get three glasses of hot tea with a bit of honey, Shampoo."

Shampoo returned quickly and gave it to them.

Akane thanked Shampoo. Shampoo nodded. It seemed strange to her for Akane to thank her.

Mouse awoke. Ranma said, "You may be a little tired Mouse. Much of the energy to heal you, came from you." Mouse sat up and Akane handed him a glass of tea. Mouse looked around and found Shampoo sitting in his chair by his desk.

"You look even more beautiful than I imagined Shampoo. I am in your debt Saotome." Shampoo blushed slightly.

Ranma asked Mouse a few questions to determine how good his sight was. "Well from what I can tell you have perfect vision. If your wondering, no your vision problem was not hereditary. You eyes were exposed to something when you were very young I think that caused the degeneration. I don't know what it was, but I destroyed the little that remained."

"I believe you promised us an explanation..."

Akane was momentarily lost in thought. I still hate this plan. It gambles so much, but then it could make the difference in the end. Of course we both could end up drugged and brainwashed into being loyal amazon's if we are not careful.

Akane and Ranma took turns explaining the events of Jusendo and after. The scouts identities were left out of course, and things were told in a very generic manner. When Ranma told about how he had bonded Akane to save her life, and the details of the bond, it brought a gasp from Shampoo with a silent, "No.", but only a nod from Cologne. Cologne was disappointed when they explained that they were now the last of the Scouts. There was no way anyone could ever live through the creation of another since the power required grew with each new addition. They told of the debt they owed the Senshi and the knowledge the Senshi had that in about a year, something was coming that would endanger the world and they considered it their duty to help the other Senshi prepare. Ranma told of how they had plans to teach some of the Senshi the art to better prepare them for the battles ahead.

Before long they took a break to eat some dinner. Akane called home and told them that they would be in late.

"You want out of the kiss of Marriage and the Kiss of death do you not? That is partly why you healed Mouse I assume."

Ranma nodded. "I would have done so anyway, but yes we took that into account."

Cologne laughed. "Well it seems the Cara part of you suits you well. A Ranma that thinks and plans, besides when he is in combat. It is a great pity you cannot be convinced to marry my great granddaughter."

Akane was staring at Cologne. Why was she apparently giving up so easily? Thats not like her.

"No. Ranma must. Amazon law say so."

"Must he indeed? Perhaps you weren't paying attention. I don't know if the whole village could compel him now given their transformation, and the fact that he just killed a kami, before he gained that additional power. Tell me Ranma, how much of the village could you destroy now, before you were stopped? That is much of why you transformed earlier is it not? To illustrate how truly powerful you are now."

"To be honest, I don't know. I am actually the second strongest Senshi now, at least potentially. The strongest being a young woman who was born with the power to destroy a planet, but only at the cost of her life. I pray she never has to make that choice. She is also a much better healer than I. Sometimes nature has a way of balancing things."

"From what I know, much of my potential power is very risky to call upon, but then if I were truly angry, living through the final attack probably wouldn't matter to me." Ranma continued in a sad tone, "I would guess that I could with some time to train and learn the power I can sense within me, probably annihilate your entire village and the land surrounding it for miles. Fortunately, I was not given the power to destroy, but to save. Akane and I have pledged our lives to the protection of this planet and though we have not made it formal yet, I have pledged my life to her."

Cologne nodded. I had not thought he could do so much, yet I do not detect any evidence of a lie. It is scary that one man can have so much power. I am very glad they managed to get rid of the Nekoken. Their were no cats in the village anyway or even in that part of china, but it had always been a concern.

Akane replied, "As I have to you."

Shampoo was taken aback. "But.. No.. I not mind if you save the world, but why can't you save it with Shampoo?"

"Because I love her Shampoo. I truly love her. I am sorry it didn't work out for you, and I must admit I really hated how you manipulated the Tendo sisters minds so they wouldn't figure out Ryoga's curse. I don't know if I'll be able to forgive you for that. I used to feel guilty with all the free food you brought me, but then considering how you messed with Akane's cooking skills I figure you owe us both a lot of ramen."

Akane: Yes I still owe her for that. I wonder if I'm good enough to beat her yet. Still I better stick to the plan.

"Shampoo sorry."

Mouse remained silent and listened. He couldn't think of anything to contribute that would help. Experience had shown him that confessing his love to Shampoo was a useless method of winning it. Left without other ideas, Mouse waited. He used his time to look around and really see things. Shampoo truly was beautiful, even more so than Akane Tendo, although he thought it a bad idea to mention that. He looked at the walls, the chairs, his hands, faces, clothes, decorations, ingredients. It was all so new..

"I think I have a solution. It would require the approval of the other elders though. I believe I can get the council to annul the kiss of marriage and the kiss of death provided you do something of great value to benefit the Amazons. Healing Mouse was a start to that, but it isn't enough to convince the council. He is just a male after all. I also presume you don't want them to know about the sailor scouts and about the impending danger and all that?"

"No, the scout identities must be kept secret at all costs. If they were exposed our families would be in danger as well as ourselves. Warning the Amazons is almost as pointless. All we have is a something very dangerous is coming in a year thing, and we can't even tell why we know."

Cologne nodded. "Then I propose you train at least one Amazon in all that you know of healing and of magic. It should be someone younger, since they will need to pass on that knowledge. Shampoo, if you were to learn this, it would bring great honor to you and your family."

Ranma thought about it. He liked the idea of passing on his knowledge, but worried about Shampoo. "You do know that it will take many years to teach what I know. I had studied for over 8 years before I died. I also have other commitments. I have promised to do all I can to help the scouts be ready to confront the threats ahead, so I will have to spend a lot of time training them, training myself, and of course Akane."

Cologne chuckled. "Those goals can easily be made to compliment each other. I have no particular love of Nerima. The cafe was setup here, because you were here. It can be moved to Jubaan. The knowledge Shampoo or whoever learns can be used to help people during whatever happens in the future. I am also a better teacher than you. I can teach the scouts as well. For that matter you still have much you could learn from me."

Cologned paused in thought then continued. "You said Cara was from 1500 years ago? We have some very old books from around that time that we believe are about magic. Unfortunately no one is alive today who can read them. It is forbidden to bring the originals out of the archive, however perhaps copies could be made."

"I will agree on one condition. I will promise to teach what I know to an Amazon, provided I have the option of sending that Amazon away from me if they fail to learn, or for any other reason. If that happens, another can be chosen and I will begin again. If you wish to be the one Shampoo, I will need a promise from you to give up on pursuing any kind of romantic relationship, marriage, etc from me."

"No, please don't ask that, anything but that."

"I'm sorry Shampoo, but it must end. I love Akane, and even if I did not, I simply do not feel that way for you. Please don't waste your life pining away for an impossible dream. Ukyo thought, that we would live this perfect ordinary life together, without battles, chaos, or fighting kami's. I think she understands now that being with me can never mean that. Nabiki was the first to put it into words, but chaos truly does seem to surround me. I bet you thought I would go back and be a dutiful, obedient, subservient Amazon husband? Can you really see me as dutiful and obedient, let alone subservient?"

"No, but Shampoo was willing to anyway."

Akane laughed. "He is a charmer is he not? For what its worth, I'm sorry that you are hurting Shampoo. I love him very much and promise to always protect him." Akane did not look particularly sorry.

Shampoo nodded. She was almost crying now, but everyone knows that Amazons don't cry. "Shampoo think about it ok?"

Ranma nodded. "By the way. Ukyo does not know about us being Sailor Senshi, and considering she dreams of a quiet idyllic life, we thought it best that she not know.."

Mouse had a thought. "Um Ranma if you used magic to cure my eyes, and well I've seen you used magic to trigger your curse, can you cure a curse?"

"I'm afraid not. I had to study for many years to learn how to heal safely. Your eyes are actually one of the most complex things I have ever done. The curse is very intricate. I dare not meddle with what I do not understand, the results could be disastrous. The little that I do to change is tricking the curse into thinking I've been splashed when I haven't. Perhaps in a few years... Anyway, can't you just get some of the drowned man water and cure it? I confess to having no desire for a cure anymore, and to be honest I doubt one is even possible considering the Senshi magic is all linked in with it now."

"Have you not been paying attention? Look at that fool Tarou. Bathing in the water from another spring simply adds another curse on top of it. Mouse would be half man half duck, and well I don't want to think what Ranma would be.."

"Why didn't you tell us before?"

"Are you kidding? That was some of the best entertainment I've had in half a century. I only had to stop you from getting 'cured' once or twice."

Akane replied, "Boy am I glad you never got any drowned man water. Ranma-chan is kinda cute, but well ... ick.. best not to think about that.."

"Well then, how long would it take to learn enough about magic to do what your doing?"

Ranma thought about it. "It would depend on how apt the student was. It requires very little magical energy to initial a change, so almost anyone should be able to learn eventually. I'd say it would take at least 6 months maybe as much as a year. You'd still attract water of course and you'd still change when wet, but if you were quick enough you could change back almost right away."

"If you would allow it, I would like to learn as well then, at least enough to help with the curse."

"Mouse, Shampoo, Cologne, would you mind if I examined you to see what magical potential you had?"

"Go ahead." "Shampoo no mind." Cologne said, "Why not?"

Ranma wove a simple flow of spirit and let it settle into Mouse and then let it ago. He repeated it with Shampoo and Cologne. "Cologne yours is the lowest of the three. Perhaps because of your age. It is still enough to make you a decent healer, since you don't have to fight around what I was dealing with. Mouse, you have as much potential as Akane and myself. You could be a first rate healer in time. Shampoo is somewhere in the middle. She could also be a very good healer. Keep in mind that I have only learned the magical arts and healing with magic. To be a truly effective healer, one would have to study both magic as well as other more modern methods.. While I am well versed in healing. Magic was often used, in my time for other things, many of which I simply never learned. The chaos magic that is a part of me allows me to make incredibly deadly bolts of power. Perhaps in the end it will be worth the cost to my healing ability. It may be that we will need to recover some of the other ways of fighting with magic before this is all over with."

Cologne replied, "I know a few tricks, and can see some things, but the bulk of the art of magic has been lost even to us for a thousand years."

Akane said, "We should be getting going soon. Our family might be getting worried." Well that went better than expected. I still don't like the idea of Shampoo being around continuously, but with the promise Ranma required, I can live with it. Perhaps things will work out after all.

Ranma nodded. "Yes, it has been a long day, and Akane still needs to practice yet."

"Stay a little longer. Shampoo can make dinner. I would like to see just how good Akane has become. We have a large empty room in the basement we sometimes use for practice."

Ranma looked at Akane. "Its up to you. I feel pretty much recovered from earlier.."

Akane pondered. I really want Cologne on our good side. I doubt having her just forget about us is really even an option after all, and having her against us... well best not to think about that.. Cologne was devious and sneaky. "Ok." They all went downstairs save Shampoo who was cooking some deluxe ramen for dinner.

"Just pretend we aren't here. Ranma, push her hard enough that I can see what her best is." Ranma nodded and they began.

Cologne was amazed.. Not at the skill.. Shampoo was about as good as Akane, but at the improvement in such a short time. Before Jusendo Shampoo could have beaten Akane without even trying. "Stop. Mouse could you go finish whatever Shampoo is cooking and ask her to come down here?" Mouse went upstairs and shortly afterward Shampoo came down.

"Yes great grandmother?" Ranma looked at Cologne but decided to say nothing. It was after all a good idea.

Cologne replied, "I want you to spar with Akane. She has improved a great deal and is now near your level."

Akane and Shampoo replied, "Ok..."

Ranma told Akane, "Remember keep focused. You have learned a lot lately, if you keep focused you will do well."

The bout lasted for about 20 minutes. Mouse had brought down the food towards the end of it. In the end Akane lost.

Ranma asked, "Do you know why you lost?"

"I ran out of strength. I was exhausted. Funny I'm not now."

"Correct. Normally the bond between us allows you to draw on my strength and endurance as close as we are as if it were your own. Thats why you didn't get very tired when we sparred lately. I cast a minor spell to temporarily suppress the beneficial parts of the bond. The spell fragmented just now, but it was enough. The battle you fought was your own. The skills you just displayed are your own skills. Even though you lost, think of how far you have come."

"It still feels like cheating. It probably would have taken me months to get that good on my own."

"In a way it is cheating, but then we are not playing a game, but preparing for a war. There are no rules in war, other than to make sure you stay alive and the other side is defeated or dead. You knew a lot about martial arts before as well. In truth I suspect it would take about 3 times as long to teach you without the enhanced bond, but in the end you would be just as good if you put in the effort. I keep repeating this, its almost as if you don't believe me.."

Cologne nodded. "Ranma is right. In war, you do what you have to do. It is no help to a loved one to say sorry over their graves when you know you could have done better if only.. The same goes for you two." (looking at Shampoo and Mouse) "I expect you to work hard in the next year. We may not be magical super heroes, but we are Amazons."

Akane, Shampoo, and Mouse each nodded. Food was served and shortly afterward Ranma and Akane departed arriving at the dojo a few minutes later.

Kasumi greeted them at the door. "Where have you two been? Dinner has been over an hour ago." Nabiki's ears perked up.

Akane replied, "We have been at the Nekohaten. It is not official yet, but I think the kiss of marriage and the kiss of death are over. Ranma agreed to teach Shampoo some of what he learned when Cara became a part of him. Fortunately he did it on the condition that Shampoo forever renounce any claim to him and not pursue him romantically."

Ranma glanced at Nabiki and winked when only she could see. Nabiki understood, there was a bit more to it, but they would tell her later.

"Oh my. That is good news. Perhaps we can save some money on wall repair now."

"Ya. I didn't think you two had it in you. I'm impressed, even if you had to make the promise to teach Shampoo."

Soun chimed in. "Indeed, now if you two were to decided to get married someday, then there would be less potential problems."

Instead of vehemently denying it, Ranma and Akane simply looked at each other and pretended to ignore the question.

Genma was still aching from whatever the heck the boy did and decided not to contribute.. Besides, even he could grow a brain cell once in a while.. The more Soun and him left them alone the more they seemed to grow closer together. At this rate, they may come home with a marriage certificate someday. He frowned at the thought, that it would be Ranma Inverse who married Akane, but well.. it was perhaps the best he had a right to hope for.

Later that night in Akane's room Nabiki came in and they explained the rest of what happened. Nabiki was impressed. She still didn't like the fact that they had literally gave away all their secrets and trusted the Amazons, but she understood their reasoning and agreed to it. Heck all in all, things turned out better than they had a right to expect. Perhaps I should find a college in Jubaan.

It had been a very trying time for Ranma Inverse and Akane Tendo, but in the end things sometimes do work out. Many doubted how long it would last. Akane wondered what new challenges awaited them in Jubaan and just what was this enemy they were supposed to fight anyway. Ranma looked forward to going to a school where they didn't know about his curse. Given that he could control it now, he had some hope that it would stay that way. He could hardly wait until the school year ended. The Sailor Senshi were starting to study for end of semester exams, and a few of them were debating whether the exams or the youma were more work. Most concluded the exams.

Sailor Pluto had not been idle either. She had found the perfect place in Jubaan for Ranma and Akane to live and teach the other senshi. She only felt a little guilt that she had skimmed back in time a few weeks and tricked a minor youma into running through it before the Sailor Senshi destroyed it. After the damage the owner had dropped the price considerably. She used one of her many aliases and purchased the property. It truly was a fine place, and the damage would make Ranma and Akane think it less a gift since they would be the ones fixing it. She knew that technically that was bending the rules of her position, but she knew that the entities that gave her the position could care less over something so minor. It is only when the changes were major that consequences were apt to result. She opened the real estate listings and started checking up on suitable places for a new Nekohaten. One can't be too careful, to make sure the future goes as planned after all.

Across the town night had fallen on Nerima, and on all the world each in its turn. A feeling of change had swept in. Anticipation clung to the walls like a second skin, and people wondered what it might portend. Most of the Nerima's population seemed to be at peace tonight. In Akane Tendo's bedroom, Akane was sleeping peacefully in her bed, while Ranma, in male form, was on a futon on the other side of the room. He had completely forgotten to change as he had intended. No one had noticed though.

A few still stirred. Happosai dreamed of girls underwear. He had been roaming many cities in his quest. He had been avoiding Nerima entirely for awhile. Ranma always ruined all his fun. Perhaps he would try Jubaan for a month or two. Yes.. that place sounds fun, besides it has those pretty magical girls in short skirts..

Tatewaki Kuno had a dream about freeing his beloved pigtailed girl from the evil sorcerer Saotome. He woke up when he dreamed of Akane Tendo kicking him. Saotome... You will pay for enslaving my loves. In another room an unmarked box sat on a table. It had been delivered to Kodachi earlier that day. It had cost her a small fortune, yet it was worth it. Ranma-sama would be hers. Somewhere in Hokkaido, a small pig ranted and raged about how it was all Ranma's fault, of course being a pig all that was heard was "Bwee! Bw! Bwee! Bweeeeeee!"
