Enter the Wolf
Chapter Eight
Shortly after that Ookami could be seen walking back to the Tendos with a smile on his face the first part of his plan complete next he had to take care of the parents. This was going to be fun.
When Ookami reached the Tendo home and walked into the room where Soun and the surprisingly human Genma were playing but there was another person in the room a woman holding a long a long silk wrapped bundle which to Ookami smelled of polished metal.
"Hello ma'am I am Hitotsu Ookami." He said before asking "What is your name?"
"I am Nodoka Saotome, its nice to meet you Hitotsu." she said impressed by the young mans manners
"Please just call me Ookami everyone does Mrs. Saotome." Replied Ookami. Ranma had warned him about Nodoka and he need her on his side if his plan was going to work.
"Please call me Nodoka or auntie Nodoka." She said
"Well Nodoka it's a pleasure to meet you." says Ookami "You're Ranma's mother?"
"Yes I am." Answered Nodoka "How do you know my son?"
"I recently moved here and he is teaching me the art." answered Ookami "Your son speaks very highly of you."
"That's nice to know." Said Nodoka smiling
"Nodoka there is a matter I wish to speak with you about if I may." Said Ookami
"Please go ahead." Replied Nodoka
"In private if possible." said Ookami eyeing Soun and Genma
"May I ask what this is about?" asked Nodoka
"Of course, it's about your sons engagements" answered Ookami
"Well then let's talk in the dojo."said Nodoka before getting up and leaving the room with Ookami following behind her respectfully
"Now what is it you wanted to say?" asks Nodoka sitting down and motioning for Ookami to sit across from her
"I think I have found a solution to all of your sons fiancee problems some things I have already taken care of but I will need your help to keep Soun and Genma in line." Stated Ookami
"What do you mean keep them in line, and what have you taken care of?" asks Nodoka
"I have gotten the amazons to remove the kiss of marriage." replied Ookami "What I mean about Soun and Genma is that they are the main thing keeping your son and Akane apart."
"What makes you so sure I choose Akane if I may ask?" questions Nodoka
"He told me so and asked for my help in this matter." Stated Ookami matter-of-factly
"In that case I would be happy to help." Said Nodoka with a smile
"I thought you might I will need a couple of things from you first keep Soun and Genma from pushing the engagement." said Ookami
"Why?" asked Nodoka fingering her sword
"The pressure form their parents is what keeps them from showing any kind of positive emotions towards each other. They're afraid that if they so much as look at each other they will be married before they can blink, and neither one of them likes to be forced to do anything. So as long as they're pushed they will fight against it." said Ookami
"Alright and what else do you need?" asked Nodoka
"I need a copy of Genma's agreement the Mr. Kuonji."
"Why would you need that?" asked Nodoka
"I can twist words with the best of them if they made one mistake I can find a loophole of some kind." answered Ookami
"Alright you have my help and I will get you that document as soon as possible." Said Nodoka before getting up and walking away
Before she got out the door Ookami said "One more thing if you can get Soun and Genma to tell Ranma and Akane that they will no longer push the marriage until they are ready it would go a long way."
"Consider it done." replied Nodoka
"Thank you for all of your help Nodoka." Said Ookami
"As long as it makes my son happy then I will do anything." Said Nodoka before she left the dojo
Ookami smiled, everything was going according to plan and he was in a good mood that is until he heard a maniac laugh. Ookami sighed "I never get a break." As he walked into the yard to deal with in Kodachi.
"Tadaima (I'm home)" Ranma and Akane called out in unison. They walked into the living room to see everyone sitting around the room. Nodoka, Genma, and Soun were sitting at the table with Cologne, Ookami, and Nabiki. Shampoo and Mousse were standing in a corner talking in mandarin. Ukyo and much to Akane's annoyance Ryoga were sitting on the floor away from the others.
"What's going on here?" asked Ranma
"We've been waiting on you two come have a seat." said Ookami motioning for them to sit down
After both sat down Ranma asked again "What's going on here?"
"If you remember you asked for my help with the fiancees." stated Ookami
"Yeah. Does that mean you're gonna help?" Asked Ranma hopefully
"It's been cleared up you only have one fiancee left." Said Ookami
"WHAT?" Yelled Ranma
"No need to yell son." said Nodoka
"How ... when ...what ...um." Ranma stuttered
"How articulate." chuckled Ookami before continuing "As I stated earlier today the fact that you killed Saffron mean that you hold a high rank in the amazon tribe." "Remember?"
"Yeah I remember what does that mean?" asks a confused Ranma
"What that means Ranma is that you can dissolve the kiss of marriage and Shampoo will not face any punishment." Said Cologne
Ranma stared at her as if she had grown another head
"Do you want to dissolve th kiss of marriage?" asked Cologne
"YES!" yelled Ranma immediately
"Well then I declare Shampoo's kiss of marriage nullified" said Cologne
Ranma was shocked he was finally rid of Shampoo. "Wait, does that mean you, Shampoo, and Mousse are going back to China?" Ranma asked
"No Ranma we are staying." chuckled Cologne
"Good I consider you guys friends and I don't wanna loose any friends." Said Ranma
"We are honored Ranma." Said Cologne
"Alright we have other business to attend to." Said Ookami
"What business?" asks Ranma wondering what else there could be
"Nodoka would you do the honors?" asked Ookami
"Of course Ookami." Answered Nodoka before she continued "Ranma. Ookami looked over Ganma's agreement with Mr. Kuonji and found a loophole."
"What do you mean mom?" asked Ranma
"Ranma let me introduce you to your new sister Ukyo Saotome." Ukyo stood and bowed to Ranma before saying "Now we're family, brother"
"What? How?" asked Ranma
"In your fathers agreement with Mr. Kuonji it stated that Ukyo had to become a Saotome it said nothing about her getting married" answered Ookami
"Wow I have a sister." said as he stood and hugged Ukyo causing Akane's eye to develop a tic
"So the only fiancee you have left is Akane." Said Ookami causing both Ranma and Akane to freeze
"Akane, Ranma I believe it's my turn to speak."Said Soun "Ookami and Nodoka have convince me that 17 is a little young to be married and we have come to the conclusion that we wont push the engagement you can get married whenever you feel that you're ready." Finished Soun while eyeing Nodoka's katana.
"I WILL NEVER MARRY THAT PERVERT?" screamed Akane
"SHUT UP!" yelled Ookami "I'm tired of this whole thing you're both retarded for each other so why don't you forget about the shit that happened and do what you're supposed to do. I think everyone would agree with me there." Said Ookami getting a cheer from all the people in the room before continuing "Well tell her you silly bastard" (This rant was stolen almost word for word from the movie 'mall rats' but it fit so well that I decided to use it)
"Um ... Akane I ... I ... I lo..." Ookami slaps him in the back of the head causing Ranma to finish "I Love You."
The room goes completely silent except for a for noises coming in from the back yard as Akane stands there shocked.
Once Akane over comes the initial shock of what Ranma said she jumps and hugs him causing him to freeze up "I love you too" she whispers in his ear
"Ok enough of this mushy crap." Said Ookami breaking the tension
"I've got a surprise for everyone." said Ookami "In celebration of the end of all this bullshit we're going to have a pinata party let me introduce your pinata kodachi kuno." Said Ookami opening the door to reveal kodachi tied up with her own ribbon hanging from the tree, gagged of course.
All of the girls get evil grins on their faces as they pulled out their respective weapons. Shampoo had her bonbori, Ukyo pulled her spatula off her back, while Akane pulled Mallet-sama out of hammerspace. The guys just raised their eyebrows, shrugged their shoulders and sat back to enjoy the show. Two hours later they had broken every bone in kodachi's body plus she was so bruised that she matched the color or her ribbon (dark purple if you forgot) and the girls were to tired to lift their weapons any more.
Ookami just smiled his plan had worked so he went to his room pulled a cd player out of his bag put in his burned cd of Ozzy and relaxed.
AN: And their you have chapter eight. Thanks to Dragon Man180 for the kodachi pinata idea.
Next chapter Happosai returns and meats Ookami it's gonna be fun. Still need help with the mushy crap so any ideas would be appreciated.
