Hild's son
Chapter 9: The engagement
Disclaimer: You all know the drill.
Ranma and Setsuna sit in a café talking about things "you want to tell me what Crystal Tokyo is all about?" Ranma asked making Setsuna look at him.
"How?" she asked.
"You've never met my youngest sister but she's the goddess of the future." Ranma replied as he paid for their drinks and they leave "Crystal Tokyo is a utopia where all humanity will live in peace where darkness will not exist." Setsuna told him making Ranma stop.
"Do you realize how many people will die?" Ranma told her and Setsuna looked at him "it's for the greater good." Came the reply from Setsuna as she looked at him "I'm not going to let it happen Setsuna, don't you want to see where humanity will go?" Ranma replied.
"I've seen where humanity will go without Crystal Tokyo." Setsuna told him as Ranma walked up to her.
"You're like I was once I never really cared about humanity, you only want to see what you want and not what other people want." He told her shocking Setsuna as he walked away and Setsuna went back to the apartment that she shared with the Outers and Ranma went back to his apartment.
"You'll never change Ranma."
Ranma stopped and turned round and looked at Rind sitting at a table outside a café and Ranma walks over to her "what can I do for the great warrior goddess?" Ranma asked doing a mock bow.
"Father sent me on an errand to find you." Rind replied as she stood up.
"What for?" Ranma asked.
"Father wants to speak to you." Rind replied as she shook Ranma's hand seeing as the last time they met was centuries ago and under the wrong circumstances and almost killed each other "I'm sort of busy at the moment Rind." Ranma replied and headed back to his apartment leaving Rind standing alone, when he gets back to the apartment he finds Mara asleep on the sofa and Ranma sighed.
"What's wrong?" Urd asked.
"I just bumped into Rind and she said that father wants to talk to me." Ranma replied.
"That's not all that's on your mind is it?" Urd asked.
"I confronted Setsuna about Crystal Tokyo and I told her I wasn't going to let it happen." Ranma replied before grabbing a blanket and put it over Mara "you're wondering about Sakura aren't you?" Ranma asked.
"Well seeing as you mentioned it." Urd replied.
"Sakura is a very special case, she used to be a mortal but inadvertently wished for demon hood, me and Mara took care of her for a few centuries." Ranma replied as he turned to look at Urd.
"Wow, she is a very special case." Urd replied.
"Anyway, where is Sakura?" Ranma asked.
"She and Nabiki went out clothes shopping." Urd replied.
Ranma sits on the floor and puts his hands behind his head "I wonder what father wants?" Ranma asked.
"Why don't you go find out?" Urd said to Ranma.
"If he wants me he knows where to find me." Ranma replied.
Elsewhere Sakura and Nabiki were at the local mall clothes shopping when they bump into the Inner senshi minus Rei.
"You're both friends of Ranma aren't you?" Usagi asked.
"What makes you say that?" Nabiki replied.
"The markings on your face." Ami replied.
"Yeah, where is he?" Minako asked with hearts in her eyes making Nabiki and Sakura sweat drop "he's, uh… busy at the moment." Nabiki told them.
"You two are very lucky." Makoto told them.
"Err thanks, well we've got to get going… bye." Nabiki said before grabbing Sakura by the wrist and dragged her away from the Inner senshi and stopped when they were out of their sight.
"If they hurt Ranma I'll hurt them!" Sakura said.
"You care a lot for Ranma." Nabiki asked and Sakura looked at her.
"He and Mara took care of me ages ago, he's like a brother to me." Sakura replied as they started to head back to the apartment, when they get back they find Ranma and Urd talking about things.
"We just bumped into some people that know you Ranma." Nabiki told him.
"One have odangos?" Ranma asked making Nabiki and Sakura nod back in response.
"Have they done anything to you Ranma?" Sakura asked making Ranma laugh.
"No Sakura, they're the Inner senshi." Ranma replied.
"Aren't you going to see father?" Urd asked.
"If he wants to talk to me he can come and get me himself." Ranma replied before standing up and reaching for Hadafang when Rind appeared in the room and grabbed hold of Ranma before she disappears.
Asgard
Rind and Ranma appear in Kami-Sama's office "what in the name of the father did you bring me here Rind?" Ranma asked.
"I ASKED HER TO BRING YOU HERE SON." Kami-Sama said.
"What for father." Ranma asked.
"I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION, I AM ENGAGING YOU TO RIND MY SON." Kami-Sama told Ranma.
"WHAT!" Ranma shouted.
"I will stay by my fiancés side." Rind replied making Ranma put his head in his hands.
"My life is other I had enough of this posing as Ranma Saotome, there are a few people who are not going to like this." Ranma said.
Ranma and Rind disappear and reappear back in the apartment "Urd, we're going drinking tonight." Ranma told his sister.
"Why?" Urd asked.
"I'll explain when we get to wherever we're going to get drunk." Ranma replied and wondered into the kitchen and closed the door behind him and screamed before reopening the door.
Much later
Ranma and Urd sit at a bar drinking copious amounts of alcohol "what was bothering you earlier?" Urd asked.
"Father decided to engage me to Rind." Ranma replied making Urd choke on her drink.
"I can tell how you took the news but what about Rind?" Urd said.
"Didn't even seem phased." Ranma replied before picking up his drink.
"Mara's not going to be pleased is she?" Urd replied rubbing it in.
"And I know a few others who aren't going to be happy with this piece of news." Ranma replied.
