"Somehow Ryoga is able to track Ranma over great distances, and then turn left when Ranma turned right. Later he can cause massive damage to walls and roads. He is also cursed. He tracked Ranma to the Pools of Sorrow. And fell in the spring of the black piglet..."
"WHERE THE HELL AM I NOW?
------
Nabiki shook her head. "Ranma Go change. Clothes and Sex." Standing she went to the door. "Habiki! Could you come here for a bit?"
The Guy dress in a yellow, sleeveless shirt, black pants and tiger striped bandana, turned and looked at who was calling him. "What do you want? How do you know my name?"
"I can lead you to Ranma." The lost boy was at her side instantly. taking his arm, she led him to the table. "Sit."
As the brute of a male knelt, Nabiki splashed him with a glass of water. Picking up the Pig, "Now Ryoga, In time I will allow you to fight Ranma. But for now, you will sit here and be quite. " She set the black pig on the table.
Ranma returned in his normal clothing. Nabiki pulled on the pigs tail as it went to attack Ranma. "I said not yet." she told the pig. Turning to the Humans in the room. "This little pig, in both forms, Can not walk a straight line to save his life unless he is charging after Ranma and no more then four feet behind."
"Bwee!"
"He is, as I have said before, the only real challenge for Ranma. He is also the closest thing Ranma has to a friend. Unfortunately when these two play, the walls shake, shatter, and just blow up. About every 2 weeks he shows up with either 'Where the hell am I?' or 'Die Ranma!'. His umbrella is heavy duty, Iron or steel construction. and he uses it as a sword and can throw it like a boomerang. It usually takes a sledge hammer to stop him, and the only one who hits harder is the cursed form of another rival. "
"So why does he hate my son?" Nodoka asks.
Nabiki frowned. "I do not think it is so much that he hates Ranma as that he feels betrayed by Ranma for not showing up for a duel that he was four days late for. He and Ranma were friends for a short time. but Genma did not like that, for it could cause the "BOY" to become weak." She spat the word 'boy'. "Ranma, take the pig and the clothes to the furo. drop him in the hot water, and let him dress. Then take him to back yard to spar. NO Property Damage!"
Ranma moved to obey... and when the males were else where, Nabiki shook her head. "I hope that you know that Ranma is not acting normal. He is very gentle with me, even loving. This is not how he reacted the last time, but then there was fun made of his curse, and my sister would hit him with the table or a mallet or her brick crushing fist. I do not know if this is really him, or is he just trying to blend in with my life." a sip of her tea allowed her recollect her thoughts. "Also in the other time line, he had to hide his curse from you, so he was our cousin Tendo Ranko. He was so happy to spend time with you, but so sad that to do so he had to lie to you at the same time. "
To hear that her son was forced to lie her, to spend anytime with her, saddened her. "So why is he different now? Is it his father's fault?"
Looking into her tea, Nabiki shook her head. "Ranma thought you were dead, and the fat baka used that lie to harden him. Considering he spent ten years with a thief and glutton, Ranma has a strong moral code and a Samurai class honor code." she snorted. "In fact that is what caused most of his troubles with the commitments formed by Genma. He would not choose, because it would dishonor someone else."
"Are you saying that Genma is root of all his trouble?"
"Some of it, but what ever you are planning, Ranma will need Genma to finish his training. For all of his faults, no one can train Ranma in new skills quite like Genma. Even if the fat Panda does not have certain skills, he can train Ranma to acquire them."
"How did Ranma make any money?"
"He did not make much, and what little he had, ended up in my pocket. He worked some shifts at the Cat Café, plus kept what ever change there was after buying something from the market. The only time he used his girl side was to get a few free ice creams or sweets from young guys. He would also shop in girl mode, getting even a better price on anything Kasumi sent him to get."
Nabiki snorted as she remembered something. "Later on, Genma would disappear for a week at a time, and Ranma would show up with a large wad of yen. It turns out that China had shipped four female Pandas to the Tokyo Zoo, with a challenge to see if we could get them to breed. Ranma was renting out the Baka when one of the females was nearing her heat. the first three times nothing happened, the forth was one of Xain Pu's villager sisters. She kicked his ass, and then used him to 'her' pleasure. Ranma got a big bonus on that one."
"How much was the going rate?"
"You would have collect him first, and that would mean less time with Ranma."
Nipping a small Tea biscuit, "Speaking of time with Ranma, He is going to have to train up some. As good as he is now, he has a long way to go if he is going to do the good he did last time."
"What does he need to learn?" Worried Mother
"His speed is too slow now, he will learn how throw Ki blasts, and even master the basic elements. We also need to look into finding some body hardening skills. When the Elder gets here, she is going to look into training Ryoga as well as Ranma, so Ranma will have someone to push him to the next level. I also want Ranma to teach Akane to further her skills. Before Ranma came to town, She was 'one of the', if not 'the' best in town. And Ranma outclassed her like a battleship to a rowboat." Nabiki sipped her tea. "In the other time, Akane would hit Ranma with what ever was at hand, blaming him for picking on Ryoga/ Pchan. and if any of the other two girls were hugging Ranma, Ranma was being perverted."
"How many girls dose my son have seeking his hand, actively, not arranged?"
"Now or by the end of the year?"
"Both"
"Now, just me. Buy the end of the year; there will be four actively after his hand in marriage, if this time line is the same as the last time, Xain Pu, Ukyo who Ranma thought was a guy until she showed up and almost kicked his ass, until he cut open her shirt and saw that she was binding her breasts. He called her cute by the end of the match and from that time on she was 'the Cute one'. At that time he was calling Akane an uncute tomboy. then there was Kuno Kadatchi. Ranma is the only male or female to stand up to her in or out of the ring, She uses poisoned roses and powder bombs to disable her foes, and a ribbon to catch 'em and toss them away. She was the only one Ranma did not consider as a choice."
Looking out the door way at the guys trading blows as if they were just dancing. She knew that if those blows were to hit anyone else there would be bruises if not broken bones.
"Auntie, Can Ryoga stay here for a few days. I think they need a full out challenge, but do not know if Ryoga will be able to find his way back here in time. Also would like to spread word, sell tickets, and set the odds for the challenge. And tomorrow Ranma has a appointment with Dr Tofu for a basic check up."
