Rumiko Takahashi owns Ranma.

Warren Murphy and Richard Ben-Sapir (A"H) think they own The Destroyer, but in truth, it is owned by Master Chiun. All hail the Master of Sinanju, the perfection that is Sinanju, and all things Sinanju.

Chapter 6

Chiun swept into the dining room and without breaking his step, grabbed Ranma by the earlobe and dragged her out the door and into the garden.

Once the koi pond was between them and the Tendo's house, Chiun released Ranma's ear. "Sit."

Ranma sat, cross-legged and at attention. Chiun lowered himself to a kneeling position.

"Pay close attention Ranma," Chiun commanded, "we will sojourn here."

Ranma gave Chiun a blank stare. "Hunh?"

Chiun rolled his eyes heavenward. Why oh why, he thought, must I be subjected to such indignities in the twilight of my life? To have married a woman that was barren was not humiliation enough, oh Ancestors? To have my nephew, Nuihc, take all I had taught him only to see him waste the Sun Source willy-nilly, like a common butcher. This shame was insufficient? And now, now THIS! Forced out of desperation to take this uneducated, uncouth pervert as my disciple!

"Sojourn: to stay for an extended period of time. We will live with the Tendo family while I continue your training. In the interim, you will also go to school with your intended."

Ranma stared aghast. "School? With that uncute tomboy?"

In the blink of an eye, a paper thin fingernail touched Ranma on the collarbone and she dropped to the ground convulsing. "Foolish boy," Chiun hissed, "you are in no position to be discriminating about whom you are betrothed to!"

Chiun rose to his feet, clasped his hands behind his back, and began to stroll around Ranma's shuddering form. "This is not a matter for debate. You were promised to this girl. As your new master, I have decided that, even though she is a lowly Japanese, she will make a suitable wife for you. You did not ask to be Japanese, so perhaps that is not your fault. You did not ask to be here, so perhaps that is not your fault either! So let us make this pact. I shall train you to be the Master of Sinanju, you shall convince this girl to love you, and together we shall endeavor to break this curse that is upon you."

Chiun crouched down and twisted his thumb into a pressure point behind Ranma's ear. The convulsions stopped immediately. Ranma rose slowly to her feet and wiped the sweat soaked hair from her eyes. "Alright, if that's what it takes to get my manhood back, you got yourself a deal."

Chiun beamed. As if you ever had a choice, he thought.
