The dojo laid in ruins, having collapsed, after the battle which had prevented Ranma and Akane from getting married. The next day nothing had changed in their lives and so the same old daily routine of:

Waking up in the Koi pond, eat breakfast, run to school, glomped by Shampoo, attacked by Kuno, drained by Hinako. Eat lunch, attacked by one of the Rivals (Ryoga, Kuno or Mousse) if not all of them either together or one right after another. Once again drained by Hinako, head home usually without incident, homework, eat dinner, brief practice, then a quick bath and off to bed. Of course there were a couple variations which included various challengers, various fiancees and Akane's...um...cooking had started yet again.

When Happosai returned, he told the cursed males (Ryoga, Mousse & Genma) if they could beat Ranma, he'd give them the Nannichun (although it would actuality be Nyannichun.) He told Shampoo the only way he'd support her claim to Ranma would be if she made the other fiancees her co-wives. A few days after Happosai made his offers, Genma, Ryoga, Mousse, Kodachi and Ukyo all attacked Ranma at the same time which turned out to be a mistake as Ranma manuvered himself in between oppoents and then dodged out of the way causing their attacks to hit the others then Kuno arrived distracting everyone this allowed Ranma to leave unnoticed and buy himself some time as Kuno spoke:

"At last thou hath seen thy truth. Let us slay the foul sorcerer" .

Once they noticed Ranma was gone, they beat Kuno down and then went after him. It didn't take long, as by the time they found Ranma, he was waiting in an abandoned lot a few blocks from where they were with his hands behind his back. One hand was glowing red, while the other hand was glowing blue. Once they arrived he said, "I don't know why you are doing this, but it ends here." They started backing him to the wall. "You are right boy! It does end here. Now give up." This caused him to smile. Then he clapped his hands together and then pulled them apart shouting -

"TWIN HIRYU SHOTEN HA"

Two funnels formed takening everyone, except Ranma, into the air where they hung for a moment after the funnels faded out only to be hit by their own Moko Takabashia. That sent Mousse to the Nekohatten, Genma to the panda pen the Zoo, Ryoga to Parts unknown and Ukyo and Kodachi to the hospital. After that battle, everyone, for the next month, (which Ranma dubbed "The month of peace") left him alone. Only a couple of things happened which involved Ryoga, who finally told Akane about his pig curse, and thus their friendship is currently strained and Akane was not sure if she would forgive hime, but after he announced that he and Akari are engaged, she had decided to give him a chance to rebuilt there friendship, more so for Akari than her friendship with her than with him After that, the rest of the month was uneventful. Unfortunately for Ranma, like everything, it ended. Soon the first day of the new month began - which was also the first day of the new school year which started with Ranma being thrown from the bedroom into the Koi pond.

"AHHHH"

*SPLASH*

"POP"

"Boy, this past month you've been getting lazy."

With that the morning fight began. Two minutes later Ranma had went for a kick to the stomach, but Genma caught it so she jumped up spun and caught him in the head with a hard kick which gave a sickening crack knocking him out. so she went inside to get washed and dressed, leaving him where he was laying. She then returned to the living room for breakfast. After Ranma & Akane finished breakfast, they headed to school. For a change they actually made it to the school without any problems. However, "The Man with the single digit IQ" was waiting with a real sword instead of his usual Bokken.

"Halt, foul socerer. Today is the day I shall free my beloved fiancee tigress Akane Tendo and the Pigtailed Goddess."

"You always say that and yet I always beat you."

"Varaly but today, I shall be victorious."

As he said this, he charged forward swinging his sword catching Ranma and then within seconds Kuno was out and his sword was shoved to the hilt in the wall and Kuno was carried to the nurses office like always. Now the only other thing to happen during the first week was the fathers tried yet another scheme to get their kids married.

The second week began the same way as the first week. The only difference was that today is the day Shampoo came back. The reason Ranma and Akane knew that was because, as they were walking to school, they heard the ring of a bike bell causing both to groan. Ranma braced for impact, but unlike the other times, while the bike was in the air Shampoo launched herself off of it and onto Ranma as she asked

"Nihao Airen, you take Shampoo on date"?

"No Shampoo. I won't not take you on a date not now, not ever!"

Shampoo let go of him and was about to speak when Ranma cut her off. "You know despite everything you and the Old Ghoul have done to me trying to force me to be your Airen, I have always considered you a friend. That is until you destroyed my wedding." Akane, who was fuming at Ranma for flirting with Purple haired bimbo, was not listening, and tossed cold water onto the both of them. Before she could do anything else, she noticed that Ranma wasn't freaking out as she picked Neko-Shampoo off of herself. Akane seeing this was about to accuse her currently female fiancee of lying about all the times she went into the Nekoken, but she saw Ranma's breath forming in font of her face, and with how hot it was it ment she was using the full Soul of Ice.

She then heard her tell the current Neko-Amazon "Now then I'll make this very clear. If I never see you again, it doesn't matter if your in your human form or in your c...c...feline form. I'll take you to the vet and have you spayed." Seeing the confused look on her face - "that means you'll never have kids or kittens." She then dropped her on the ground and took off running to school. Akane looked at the pink cat, then at Ranma, who was already some distance away from them. Thus Akane decided to run to catch up as they entered the Furiken grounds.

That night, as they were eating, both Kasumi and his Mother noticed that Ranma barely touched his food and both asked at the same time. "Is everything okay Ranma?" He looked up from his plate, let out a sigh. "No, I'm sick of fighting, sick of martial arts, and sick of all the crap that happens to me or around me. Something has to change soon or I'll take the only option left for me" Both Nodoka and Kasumi noticed his eyes lock on the Saotome sword and both gave a small gasp. Before they could say anything to him, Ranma continued "but I don't know what that is or how to go about making it happen." He then stood up and said "Thanks for supper Mom, Kasumi.. I'm going for a walk." Ranma then left the house deep in thought."
