This is the story of a cursed martial artist who saves his forced uncute fiancée from the claws of a god; by killing him, for almost killing her, the love of his life.
When he realizes that he has lost her, no matter what he did, he almost confessed it all, at that exact moment, life went back to her…
When they come back to Japan, uncured; an improvised wedding is organized, well, she is bribed into agreeing and he was "persuaded" by a dozing blow on his neck. The pig-tailed boy, after waking up in a tuxedo, rushes to the girl's room. He gets stricken by her beauty, but also with the news that the cure is under the same roof… while denying his feelings towards her.
Well, as you know this martial artist is a trouble magnet, so, his other 3 fiancées showed up: a crazed Chinese Amazon, a cross dressing okonomiyaki chef, a deluded poisoning gymnast; with his rivals for Akane's affection *not that he'd admit he wants it…*: a poetry-vomiting bokken-swinging jerk, a forever lost pig boy; a couple of more people who want the cure for the Jusenkyo curses: a blind Amazon goose and a coward sign-writing panda; add a perverted old freak, a money-thirsty sister-in-law, a flood-like weeping father-in-law and violà!… the perfect recipe for a disastrous wedding.
Well, after it, his 'almost' father-in-law declared it was only "overtime".
So, this story is about what happens during & after the overtime. This story is about what happens… BEYOND

A Ranma ½ continuative alter verse fan fiction by nm3
…Pretty long, huh? ^_^
Disclaimers: This is a fan fiction based on the characters made & owned by the ingenious Rumiko Takahashi, which I, without her permission (like millions of fans out there) borrowed for the sole propose of creating this humble non-profit fic. Gomen! Takahashi-sama!
One last thing, this story may have Spoilers 1/2 and it may be better that you know the end of the series ( Volume 38 ) =).

Without more ado…
On with the story!

Chapter 5:
Lightrays were reflected by the metal
buckets that held a cold, transparent liquid within. The particles of this
fluid - necessary, for some, dreadful, for a few- seemed to be attracted to
something close to it.
A dim red brightness shone around the
cylindrical containers. Its source was shaking, holding both buckets at its
sides; the liquid was almost vibrating, threatening to make its way toward its
attraction.
The increasing reddish light was almost
heating up the fluid. The brightness was emanating from an anger shaken
feminine figure, with blue short hair, in a hall just outside a Furinkan High
classroom.
*BAKABAKASHIII!!! That jerk!! How dare
he??!!*
*You know it isn't his fault…* some
voice, lost in the depths of her mind shouted from within…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The alarm clock beeped abruptly at 4
am, the very same hour she had been waking up every morning for her training
routine.
"Hmm" she mumbled, trying to wake up.
*Training!*. She thought, and immediately she was wide awake and putting on her gi. Then she strapped the weights to her arms and legs, and finally she put on her light yellow- red bandanna on her forehead and tied it around her head.
She exited her room and silently made her way down the hall, She passed by the furo and took a towel. Suddenly, she heard noises outside, in the backyard.
* A burglar!?… He must be new in town…*
She rushed to the nearest window facing
the yard.
The whole hall was illuminated by the
brightness of Akane's aura.
Outside, Shampoo was tiptoeing her way
into the yard, whispering "Airen, Airen, Airen" accenting every little step, giggling
madly.
*Shampooo!! That hussy! I'll show her,
once and for all!!…She must have some new magic technique or somethin' to get
Ranma with* her mind fumed.
Akane started to build a plan, while
waiting for Shampoo to come into the house.
Shampoo jumped on the 1st
floor's roof .
Akane ran toward the guest room, with a
glass of cold water in hand, and slid inside. There, she saw Genma's snoring
panda figure, she immediately asked herself * Where's Ranma ?*. Suddenly, the
sound of a shutting window, made Akane quickly hide in the Saotome's closet.
There she had an up-close-and-personal meeting with Ranma's clothes, namely,
his underwear. That made the beet red Akane turn around immediately, just
before Shampoo came into the room.
"Airen…" Shampoo whispered seductively
while shutting the door.
" Airen?… Where's Airen?" A confused
Shampoo said turning her back to Akane.
Akane immediately jumped out of the
closet and spilled the water on Shampoo, pinning the cat to the ground.
"Gotcha bimbo!"
Taking the cat by its lower back and
its neck, she made her way downstairs. Shampoo struggled to escape from Akane's
steel grasp, but couldn't.
Akane reached the dining room, and was
opening the door with the hand that was on Shampoo-neko's neck, when the feline
bit Akane's other hand.
" Sh%t!!!" Akane cursed. Instead of
letting go, Akane grabbed Shampoo-neko from its tail, jumped to the backyard,
and began swinging it around, in circles above her head, she thought about
which flight trajectory would develop the most painful landing for the cat.
With that last calculation done, Akane gave her strongest swing and let go of
the cat's tail, sending it flying across the Nerima sky.
Inside the house, she turned on the
light of the dining room and checked on her bitten hand. * I'll have to get an
anti-rabies shot at Dr. Tofu's*
She went up to her room, to get her
little personal medical kit.
"Damn!" Akane cursed when she read 4:21
am on her alarm clock.
Suddenly she
heard some shuffling noises in her closet.
*huh?*
"P-chan?"
She opened her closet, and a tiny
figure promptly glomped her chest and other bodyparts, to say the least, and
ran away through the window.
* Arrrgg!!! Happosaiiiii!!*
"It's no use trying to catch him" she
said grabbing - and almost deforming- her window frame, when pain shot through
her bitten hand. She turned around to clean her wounded hand, when she saw her
underwear drawer open and completely empty.
*Damn! I should have know!!* she turned
around to see the millenary 'master' hanging upside down from a tree branch
waving many of Akane's panties in the dim light.
" Lookie here what I've got…"
" You old freak!!"
With that war cry, Akane leaped through the window and landed on
the roof.
"Want them back? Catch me… he he…if you
can"
Happosai ran across the yard and jumped
over the wall, landing on the street.
She doubted for a moment, but she
jumped from the roof, landing in the yard, her ankle strained with pain. *
Aaah!! I should've tried to do this before…*. With the anger driven adrenaline,
Akane ignored the pain and ran after Happosai.
Out in the street she yelled "They're
mine Happosai! Give them back!!"
" Not a chance! These sweeties are mine
now!" Hanging from the light pole right over her head, Happosai hung upside
down, caressing Akane's undergarments with his cheek.
" Heeentaaiiii!!!" Akane jumped, trying
to knock him down.
" You'll have to do much better than
that!" Happosai said, jumping on a fence, running away.
" Damn! You!" Akane took off after him.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
" Huh?!… What was that?" Ranma said,
scratching his eyes, trying to wake up. He was on top of Akane's room.
He drowsily dragged himself over the
edge of the roof. He hung upside down, yawning, and opened his eyes.
*Where is she!?!*
He jumped inside her room, and saw it
was a mess.
* Oh kami! Don't tell me…*
He bounced to the roof then to the
yard, and sped away towards the dojo…
* She's not here*
He searched the house, just in case…
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
" Where are you, hentai!!??" Akane was
on some rooftop, searching for Happosai.
" Happodaikarin!"
*Aaaah!! He's really out to get me!?!*
her mind reeled, while her piercing scream became weird coughs.
" He he! It's just a saltpeter bomb,
Akane dear, I wouldn't even think of harming you! It was just a lit-tle joke"
Happosai anounced while he held on tight to Akane's bossom.
" Geeeet off meee!!" Akane yelled,
unleashing a wave of punches and kicks that the old man easily dodged.
" He he… you definitely need to train
Akane-chan… I'll train you anytime you want!" Happosai offered, then he was on
the run again, jumping from rooftop to rooftop.
Akane tried to follow him closely. *
Cool! I can go roofjumping!!*
Happy jumped across the street, flying
across from roof to roof.
*Damn!* *Come on Akane… you can do it!* With a determined glint in her
eyes, Akane tried her best to jump the fairly wide distance… failing miserably
and landing on a pile of trash.
*Better stick to what you know*. Akane
stood up, trying to get all the junk out of her hair, including a banana peel
that hung right in the middle of her face, then she took off through the
street, after Happosai.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
* She's
nowhere to be found* * Was she kidnapped again!?* * No, no, com' on man! Get a
grip!… maybe she's on her morning jog…* * Yep that's it!… I hope* various
voices agreed in Ranma's
head. He ran outside, searching for her.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
"That.. that… ARRRGG!!!"
A very trashed Akane searched
fruitlessly around Nerima, looking for a panty-stealing millenary being.
" Feh… It's no use… You just wait, dear
Happi-sama…" Akane put all her sarcasm in this line "… I'll show you, one of
these days…"
With a mixture of tired anger and
eternal frustation on her lowered face, Tendo Akane started her way back to the
dojo.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
" Akaneee!!…."
" Akaaaaaneee!!…."
* Where the hell is that tomboy…*
concern flowed through his features at this thought. *She must be…*
" Raaaannmmmaaa!!! Prepare to DIE!"
His thoughts interrupted, and bored of
this deja-vu, Ranma just turned around to face Ryouga, with his ever-worn
smirk.
" Sorry P-chan, playing with you is not
on my to-do list for today… I've got better things to do now"
" GGrrrrr……. RAAANNNMAAA!!! Be
gone!"
Ryouga launched a wave of rage fed
combinations at Ranma… Punches, umbrellas, sweepings, razor-blade bandannas,
kicks, the finger point technique… everything in his repertory.
Ranma dodged, waiting for a good
opening to counterattack & take him down _fast_… but in Ryoga's mind, the
battle was _on_…he's had it and he was taking Saotome out of the picture for
good…
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
" Uuggh…"
Akane entered her house slowly, limping
a little.
* Man, do I stink!*
She looked at the clock, it was 7:05
am, and Kasumi was finishing breakfast.
Akane turned, making her way to the
bathroom.
" Oh my! Akane, what happened to you?"
concerned, the exiting Kasumi asked the, rather, trashed girl.
" The usual, Kasumi… Shampoo at 4am,
then Happosai…" at the mentioning of his name her ki flared up "… stole all my
underwear…"
"Again?" Kasumi asked
" Wow!! It's the 17th time
this month!… You're hurtin' the budget with your every-day-shop for panties…"
Nabiki said matter-of-factly.
" Heeeeyy!! It's not my fault!! It's
that freaky hentaii!!" the smallest Tendo snapped.
"You should buy a safe box… I'll sell
you one on the minimum price, with family discount and everything, of… " we can
hear drums being played…
"… 7500 yen!" Nabiki finished leaning to Akane with her old-fashioned
predatory smile plastered on her face.
" Yeah right, 'neechan…" Akane ignored
her.
Her smile was replaced by a serious
grin, that transformed into a weird expression that wrinkled her nose…
" Hey Akane… what's with the new
perfume… or must it be your new deodorant?" Nabiki asked
" Oh sorry Nabiki…Forgive me that I
don't use your favorite 'New money' fragrance…" Akane replied.
Nabiki raised an eyebrow, her ever worn
business grin on her features.
"…Sorry, 'neechan…" this time she meant
it "…It's because I've had a terrible day… the worst is.. it's just starting…"
She turned to her older sister.
"Kasumi, is the furo ready?"
" Yes, it is, Akane-chan"
"Thank you"
Akane turned around, wanting to be
soaking in it already.
" You should go check your ankle and
that nasty wound at Dr. Tofu's before school, Akane-chan" Kasumi suggested.
" I will, 'neechan, it's no big deal…"
Kasumi watched her sister's slow way up
the stairs, concern showing on her almost-always peace filled features.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
" Why are you packing?… you just came
back…" confused, Mousse asked.
" None of your business…" Cologne answered.
" Why you, old crone!" Mousse attacked
Cologne…that certainly did not work…
A new Mousse engraving was made on the
wall, by Cologne's delicate staff swing.
Slowly, Mousse tried to come back to
conscience… A horrible sight met his eyes…
"Xian Pu… Who has done this to you?…"
Mousse asked to the crawling cat entering the establishment.
He was unheard by the thoughtful
Cologne.
*Tendo Akane… today… you'll crack*
