U.F. Chapter:8

Dinner discussion.

George nodded to Ranma. "Yea I know Jaing he is my cousin. Saiya and I are half-gods.

Ranma considered the American teen's words. "If Jaing is full blood why are you only half?"

George shrugged his shoulders positing a question of his own. "Cause we are an off branch of the family. Look why don't you at least cure my sister? I will keep my curse if you like I just don't like seeing her in pain."

Ranma pondered then shrugged her shoulders. "If I cure your sister then I will have to cure everyone it just would not be fair to all the other victims of the springs."

Nodoka pondered as she thought about her daughter's words. 'Why don't she just cure the sister and be done with these half-bloods does she really enjoy these conflicts?' she inwardly wondered.

"Tell you what I will cure your sister if you can beat me in a fight without running away," Ranma stated. As if to taunt them she shifted into her Frost cat form barring her fangs and hissing at them frosty breath coming out as she breathed.

Nodoka slapped her hand on the table. "Not in my house you wanna fight then go outside, However for now eat your food you two and daughter stop trying to goat them."

Ranma pouted. "But momma."

Nodoka glared at her daughter giving her a stern gaze. "No buts eat your food you can fight afterward to your heart's content, but I won't hear another word."

George smiled at the Neko-girl going on to say. "You know you would make a cute pet."

Ranma growled at his words, saying. "Only if I get to use you as a scratching post." holding up her left-hand palm out to extend her claws.

Saiya glared at the red-n-blue-haired Neko-girl.

Nodoka smacked the table with her left-hand palm, glaring at both her house-guests and her daughter causing all three teens to cease their banter and eat their meals.

After everyone finished dinner the three teens had started to head outside. "Ranma not yet go do the dishes you can play with your friend's afterwords," Nodoka called, heading for her bedroom. The Neko-girl her ears laying flat atop her head looked to her mom's retreating form and pouted. "But mom... can't I just do them tomorrow?"

Nodoka paused in her walk turn to look to her red-haired Neko-daughter. "No cause Tomorrow never happens." she relayed before heading into her bedroom disappearing behind the door that was slid shut.

After gathering the dishes up and placing them in the kitchen. Ranma went back into the dining room and cleaned the table off, then went back to the kitchen and started rinsing the dishes off and placing them in the dishwasher. The part that took the longest was the pots and pans she had to scrub those by hand.

The Neko-girl looked down to the dishwater observing where the soap suds were not was her female half staring back at her she shivered at the image observing the ears atop her head, she diverted her eyes, while she had a good idea what she had become she had did her best to ignore it though it was easy for her to brandish claws for some reason this came naturally to her now, but the though of the furry banes of her existence still caused her to become scared even when she herself hissed at people unintentionally it caused shivers up and down her spine.

Ranma sighed while scrubbing a pan, her tail swishing back and forth. "Note to self find out if there is a spell that can wash dishes for me."

George looking toward the Saotome house. "I am not sure if we should fight her today her mom seems to be winning already."

Saiya shrugged her shoulders at her brother's words, going on to reply. "Be glad you were a boy or mom would have made you wash dishes every time breakfast, lunch and dinner was over that is just how it works in some families secondly judging by the way her mom isn't helping her do the dishes I would say good possibility it is a punishment for acting that way at the table."

George nodded to his sister seeing the wisdom in her words. "Well, she didn't punish us cause we are guests secondly sis she thinks her daughter will be punishment enough for us after she gets done. So get ready for a real fight she is going to be a really pissed off hen when she gets out here."

"We will deal with her this time I know how to beat her and it will be simple really no cat can resist the urge of catnip," Saiya explained, retrieving a bag of the stuff from her jacket pocket.

George eyed the bag skeptically, speaking on this. "We will see if it works. However, if she shreds your clothes I don't want to hear you bitching about it later. I think it will take a more hands-on approach."

Boom Boom Pow And...

After what seemed like an eternity Ranma finally came out of the house wearing mostly all-black attire consisting black trousers, and a sleeveless black frog style button-up shirt, the buttons were gold, and the ties white, on her feet black kung-fu slippers on her feet looked to her opponents George and Saiya proceeding to take on a casual stance placing her hands in her pocket, her tail swishing back and forth, her ears twitching.

"This is your last chance no take backs you lose you keep your curses for life, and do not think for a moment that I will relent on this cause I simply will not!" Ranma explained, proceeding to remove her right hand from her pocket with her index finger up with a claw extended she beckoned them forward.

George grinned prepared for the upcoming onslaught. Saiya had an air of dread creep up on her as she watched a massive unholy green field appear surrounding them which was a spell consisting of pure Chaos magic meaning if they attempt to leave the field it would kill them on sight even a full-blood Goddess or Demon would surely perish.

Ranma grinned a catsgrin. "Let's call this how do you Americans say... Hell In A Cell match K.O is only way your winning this don't try to run the punishment for such a transgression is to die."

George frowned at the green field. "This is Illegal you cannot use death magic its illegal as decreed by the Heavens!"

Ranma laughed at Georges words, responding "That is not death magic it is chaos magic it works against me just as much as it hinders you. looks like elemental magics are out. And it's going to come down to brute strength well it only affects lightning but you have the two on one odds enjoy?"

Saiya whispered. "George we should be careful she's not playing with a full deck right now..."

George studied the Neko-girl then whispered back. "It is just an act Sis she's trying to put fear in you, And she's doing a damn good job at it. Lightning is out so we will have to use ki attacks and pure brute force."

Saiya nodded whispering. "Okay, brother you get her down with brute force and I will try our secret weapon."

Ranma eyed them with a rather bored expression. "Look you going to attack? I don't have all day if I wanted to play chess I will just go to the park and play against some old geezer," she called tauntingly.

After three more minutes of waiting Ranma finally having got impatient and launched into the offensive throwing a right hook catching a surprised George in the cheek sending him sprawling... she then dropped down and tried a leg sweep on Saiya which She barely avoided, throwing a punch of her own that connected with Ranma's left eye.

The Neko-girl shook the hit off realizing it might blacken later, she moved in quick shouting out, "Tenshin Amaguriken!" pummeling Saiya with over a thousand blows to her torso in quick succession, she then spun with a roundhouse that connected sending the poor girl sliding roughly across the grounds stopping short of the that not only could be their death, but also was stopping them from using magic.

George gritted his teeth as a look of angst crossed his features, he slowly got up regrouping with his sister helping her to her feet. "Hey, that wasn't cool you're not supposed to sucker punch your opponents..."

Ranma gave her patented smirk, feeling great pride as she was in her element. "Really I must not have read that in the manual? I practice the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts. And that sucker punch as you call it is how I roll. Don't get mad get frustrated!" she called tauntingly, proceeding to beckon them forward with her right-hand index finger once again.

George cooled his temper knowing the Neko-girl was trying to get under his skin. He charged her shouting. "Dragon Roaring blast!" Unleashing a torrent of Dragon like ki blasts at Ranma that she dodged with ease launching her own attack Mökö Takabisha which George barely dodged hearing a squeal he turned and seen his sister knocked back into the Chaos field causing her to scream, however, she, didn't die steam rising off her a nearby water main broke right then and changed her form to the manly samurai.

Saiya stood up tall growling as she now a he brought out her Katana enhanced by ki energy. "That hurt you Bitch!" he claimed.

She then charged the Neko-girl with a manly roar of anger swinging rapid strikes at Ranma who bobbed and weaved around the attacks with seeming ease finally coming to an abrupt stop grinning at Saiya her blade striking Ranma's now Ice encased neck she laughed tauntingly due in part to the fact Saiya was unable to cut her grabbing her Arm Ranma yanked Saiya up and slammed her to the ground letting go of Saiya's arm she then jumped backward.

Spinning into a Roundhouse to kick George thinking fast dodged it Grabbing The Neko-girls leg in time to bring her to a painful landing on the ground that made her shriek in pain She shrieked again when George slammed his Fist down on her knee with as much force as he could muster letting her go stepping back preparing for another strike.

Ranma quickly moved to stand however ended up nearly falling down she screamed in pain as she steadied herself glaring daggers at the brown-haired boy as she shifted her weight more on her left leg to lessen the stress on her right as the old knee injury she had suffered had been aggravated.

George regrouped with his sister. "Give up you only got one good leg now. You can't go on without risking permanent injury," he called.

Ranko grimaced at the boy's words, however, she didn't want to admit defeat, she had far too much pride for that. "My leg isn't broken it just hurts. It is going to take a lot more than a hurt knee to stop me!" She assured taking on a more offensive stance.

She charged them with a flurry of claw swipes and kicks that only served to cause her more pain for naught as both George and Saiya dodged her strikes. George studying her as she attacked noting she was favoring her right leg he knew the damage was there and this fight had to end soon before a great martial artist lost her career.

Saiya reaching into her Pocket pulling out a bag of Catnip threw it in Ranma's face causing her to stop and sniff at it and end up with a coughing fit.

Saiya believing she had an advantage moved In for the K.O when Ranma grinned wickedly at her cause she fell right into a trap. The Neko-girl closed her right-hand into a fist and slammed it into the incoming samurai's stomach knocking the breath out of him causing him to fall to his knees. The Neko-girl then started to Strike again only for George to intervene knocking her away from Saiya where she landed on her feet steadying herself.

Ranma then started to launch into another attack when she felt a surge of ki slam into her from Saiya knocking her backward sprawling. As she started to get up she was greeted by Saiya's Manly cursed form on his knees crying.

Saiya cried out in frustration. "Why won't you yield! All I want is to be cured I just want my life back my career why can't you see that, is destroying yourself and me worth it just so you can save face... You prideful Bitch you're pathetic!"

Ranma sounding frustrated. "I am a martial artist and I won't lose I can't lose I won't allow it!"

Saiya sobbed.

George stated in a cool voice. "But isn't the martial artist code to protect the weak? And to show compassion even for your enemies? Is your pride worth it... You keep going and you won't be good for much other than playing with spells. You don't have the powers to heal such injuries sure you got rid of your scars but that's a one time deal, this is something you will have inflicted on yourself after the fact think about it."

Ranma frowned at the boy's words, she then growled out. "How do you know about those?"

George sighed at the Neko-girl's words. "I read you like a book I am a half god it is what I do. My powers may be locked off in girl form but while I stand before you male right now, I can read you and what I am seeing is a very pride-ridden girl who won't let herself be beaten, and who does not seem to want to show compassion your betraying yourself, do your old self the honor and let that compassion come out."

Ranko frowned. "Showing compassion? What cause I won't just cure you and your sister? No one cured me nor was I ever going to get cured fate saw too it why should I intervene with yours?"

George considered how best to answer. "That is simple really tell me Ranma when you were Ranma-kun would you ever have been able to show Love, or even have a shred of feeling for how girls feel if wasn't for your curse? I see your male sides future and it was written in blood you should be very thankful you found Jusenkyo."

Ranko growled at the boy's words, feeling rather skeptical proceeding to retort. "Lies I wouldn't become cold heartened like that!"

George rushed forward stopping in front of the Neko-girl grabbing her head forcing her to look into his eyes.

"Look into my eyes and see the truth of where you were headed you would never want that... But it is what you would have become eventually. Just a cold heartened martial artist who is lonely and has the blood of many on his hands."

Ranma watched as a life that would have been hers flashed before her eyes she watched her male self losing his temper going into a blind rage in the Tendo house. The things she saw horrified her and she started to cry screaming for George to stop showing her this future it was torture.

The Neko-girl now crying starting to fall to her knees, George catching her easing her down slowly not to agitate her knee.

George pulled the crying Blue and red-haired girl into his arms. "I am sorry but you had to see it please don't be this way. Stop letting your pride interfere with what you know is right. Cure my sister I will keep my curse I am happy with it please take pride in that your gift is accepted by me."

Compassion Shown

George steadied Ranma as he helped her to stand she leaned against him favoring her right leg.

Ranko sighed tiredly. "I... don't know how to cure, I can I just haven't got that far yet... I never made an effort to study it I just know how to make it manageable or to change it." She sniffed her eyes were rather red.

Saiya looked to the Neko-girl going on to say. "You have a spell book look through it please?"

Ranko sighed at the manly Samurai's words. "We need to go up to my room. I think I will need help getting there."

After ten minutes Ranma, George, and Saiya were all in Ranma's room the Neko-girl once she was laid on her bed grabbed her satchel retrieving her spell book began shifting through its pages. After what seemed to be an hour and a half she finally found what she was looking for.

She pondered over the particular spell in question. "Well this is the spell to cure your curse the problem is I don't possess the control to use it. I have to find my perfect Nirvana before I can use it, or it could cause a Jusenkyo spring here in Japan."

Saiya sighed heavily. "How long will that take you?"

Ranma shrugged her shoulders. "I am not sure I still haven't mastered my center on my kata's could take me completing that before I can get my perfect Nirvana. I can make your curse manageable for now if you like then you can check back with me later?"

Nodoka knocked on the door opening it then walking in looking at the three teens. "Honey you already found that a while ago stop beating around the bush... Just cure the girl."

George nodded his head. "Yea really you got me staying cursed let my sis be normal your not losing anything this time tomorrow three to five more people will probably visit your springs you don't need her for your battery."

Ranma sighed realizing her bluff had been called then nodded her head. "It's not so much a battery, as my Mother would tell you and even your cousin Jaing would tell you its called Soul currency which can be bartered and traded and or used for energy should my reserves be depleted," she explained Placing her left-hand to Saiya's forehead it started glowing an unholy green and with a flash the manly samurai was replaced by an all-female Saiya.

This overjoyed Saiya reaching over with her own hand she healed Ranma's knee using her Ki. Then she threw her arms around the Neko-girl. "Thank you thanks I promise I won't make you regret this I will never cause you problems again!."

Ranma after she was able to breathe again once Saiya let go stated. "You ever fail on that Promise fate will find you right back with your curse that is your only warning."

With those words, she laid back and then drifted off to sleep leaning against George.

George looked to the elder Saotome. "Thank you Mrs. Saotome shes a very pride-ridden girl who is very stubborn." he said while easing a now sleeping Ranma to her bed so she can sleep."

Nodoka nodded then said in a sage manner. "She doesn't really know how to lose it isn't in her nature. Even if you beat her she won't register it and she will try for a rematch to prove she is strongest. I really hope someday she is beaten so she can feel what it is truly like I believe it would be a humbling experience."

Saiya sighed shrugging her shoulders. "Sadly it won't be George or me who does it shes far too powerful for that, but yet so fragile, but I don't think she will be fronting from now on I just hope she shows this compassion in the future."

Nodoka pondered. "What you mean fronting?"

George sighed. "I have the ability to see the future, and Ranma before Jusenkyo had she not fallen in would have been lonely cold, and had the blood of friends, and family on his hands. Eventually, he would have snapped cause his father was weaving him into a monster. Jusenkyo fixed all that when she got her curse it set her thinking about woman, and her and how to better suit their needs she had no idea how girls felt nor was she sociable before the curse." he explained.

He then continued "She also only had two friends to her name and she didn't know her mother til late in life those things will create a monster if left unchecked. She will never know that it was you who helped fate this. But I know you didn't want that path for your child you just wanted her to be kind, and show compassion as well as be good in the art."

Nodoka nodded sitting next to Ranma's sleeping form. "Well someone finally could see the truth I had known that something would happen. I saw it briefly so I talked to Jalia and asked her to help me with my unborn child should he be taken from me, and well Jalia kept her promise even from the grave of the spring she was in. I didn't want a monster for a child I just wanted a fun loving child male or female."

Farewells and Goodbyes

George handed Ranma a piece of paper. "This is me and Saiya's address and phone number. Come see us some time won't you America can be strange I am sure as much as Japan is to us but I am sure you could manage it."

Ranma took the proffered piece of paper in hand reading over it. "I will consider it sometime down the road."

After a few minutes of goodbyes and farewells, George and Saiya left. Nodoka and Ranma after seeing them leave went back into the house where the Neko-girl laid on the couch and took a nap Nodoka walked into the kitchen to get lunch ready and call the school letting them know Ranma was going to be staying home due to personal illness.

As she was about to go back to cooking she heard a knock at the door and went to answer it.

Nodoka opened the door seeing Ryoga standing there. "Well hello, Ryoga come on in we were about to have lunch."

Ryoga nodded his head in greeting going on to say. "Thank you I would be glad to join you both for lunch." Stepping past Nodoka he walked in seeing Ranma who was dead to the world napping on the couch. "Ms. Saotome, can you get me a glass of water please?"

Nodoka pondered over several possibilities he would need water for. "You're not going to douse her are you?"

Ryoga chuckled. "No, but I have something planned if you will."

Nodoka left the room then came back with a glass of water handing it to Ryoga. He took the glass and doused himself becoming female then positioned himself over Ranma in a compromising position.

Nodoka covered her mouth so she wouldn't laugh really loud knowing what Ryoga was up too. 'Turn about is fair play.' she thought to herself knowing full well all the times her daughter tricked the poor boy according to both Nabiki and Akane.

Ryoga laid his now female body on top of Ranma making sure to keep her weight off the girl and she blew in the Neko-girl's ear to twitch and let out cooing noises. Ryoga then licked at the edge of her left ear causing her to wake up with a start.

Ranma opened her eyes seeing a girl on top of her licking her she threw the girl off of her, and screamed "Pervert!"

Ryoga landed with a thud laughing as she rolled onto her back. "You should see your face it is priceless you know that."

Ranko looked at the strange girl with an aggravated expression. "And who are you to waltz into my house licking my ear when I don't even know you?"

Ryoga chuckled along with Nodoka who was trying to keep herself from falling over laughing.

"You know me very well we both attended an all boy school together and had a bread feud," Ryoga said as she looked up to the irate and flustered Neko-girl.

Ranko looked at the girl for a few minutes before recognition sank in her eyes going wide. "That is not funny Ryoga I could have hurt you..." she trailed.

Ryoga chuckled at the girl's words. "Hardly I think you were too surprised to do much of anything." Sticks her tongue out. "Thanks to you I kind of like the idea of holding things again in cursed form, and would seem I can play your old games back at ya."

Ranko frowned, proceeding to offer her hand. "Look truce please I won't play tricks on you anymore don't do it to me."

Ryoga nodded. "Alright truce," she said taking the proffered hand shaking making a promise.

Ranma chanted a spell in a mere whisper and Ryoga returned to male form without a single drop of hot water.

Ryoga pondered his next thoughts. "Ranma I have a question for you?"

Ranma sighed still feeling slightly flustered... "Can it wait till after lunch Ryoga?"

She had an Idea what was going to be said and it wasn't something she was wanting to hear but knew it was going to happen whether she liked it or not, so, for now, she wanted to put it off until after a meal.

Twenty minutes later Nodoka, Ranma, and Ryoga were eating lunch together talking about different goings on throughout Nerima. Ryoga letting Ranko know Cologne went back to China to gather some items and would be back next month.

Ranma sighed showing a challenge letter. "Well I have to deal with this Tomorrow I think...Uchan challenged me to a fight, and well I don't want any part in it I wish she'd tell her father I am not obtainable but she is very persistent."

Nodoka pondered going on to say. "Have you thought about talking to her father personally?"

Ranma shook her head. "No I did not momma, didn't think about that at all."

Ranma And Ryoga Talk

Ryoga and Ranma went out to the backyard to talk. The Neko-girl eased herself down onto the porch to listen to the inevitable words she had been both expecting and dreading to come for some time, but she only had herself to blame and she knew it.

Ryoga carefully picking his words went on to say. "Look I know it is not something you want to hear but I have to ask is it okay if I date Akane?"

Ranma sighed feeling sadness wash over her as her ex-fiance's name was brought up. "Does she know about this curse you have?"

Ryoga nodded his head, responding. "Yes she does and we been talking but she isn't willing to move forward without your permission, I guess she still thought you would come back to her, but I love her Ranma and I really like very much to give me and her a shot. So with that said would you mind?"

Ranma shrugged her shoulders a hint of anger to her voice. "My permission huh, we split up a few months ago..."

Ryoga looked to his friend observing the byplay of anger to her features, who was currently looking to her feet. "Damn it don't do this you are a good friend of mine, and you know as well as I do you got a chance to still have her. I just wanted your permission. And so does she since you seem to be unwilling to try again so please allow me this chance."

Ranma let a sigh escape her lips, explaining. "It is not that I am unwilling to try it is the fact that I just am unsure about being with her is all."

Ryoga sat down next to Ranko pulling her into a hug. "Look I am I am sorry if this is a sore subject, but I really do love her please give me your blessing?" he softly asked.

Ranma sniffled, wiping a stray tear that rolled down her cheek, going on to say "I cannot say it will be okay I.. just don't know... Fine you can have her you have my blessing, Please treat her well."

Ranma then shrugged Ryoga off and went back into the house leaving Ryoga there. Ryoga got up four minutes later and went inside and up to Ranma's room where she was crying he sat down on her bed. "Damn it Ranma what is wrong with you?"

The Neko-girl forgetting she left her door open, didn't dare look to the fang-toothed martial-artist not wanting to show him the tears that were now streaming down her cheeks. 'Do I tell him I love him...' she then decided against it "Look just go to Akane and be with her you don't need me anymore... just get the fuck out of my house!"

Ryoga sighed feeling his heart lurch. "Look I am sorry I wouldn't have asked if I thought you were going to take it like this..."

Ranma sobbed, getting up pushing the fang-toothed martial artist towards the door. "Just go please I don't want to talk to or see you right now..."

Ryoga sighed walking out the door. "Are you sure you want me to leave?" he asked only for the door to slam in his face.

Inside the room, Ranma pulled a pillow to her chest and shook her head shouting. "Just go!"

Ryoga left her room heading downstairs feeling conflicted since the last thing he wanted to do was hurt his only true friend, yet the damage was done and this was the result, he headed for the door that would lead him out of the house only to find himself stopped by the Saotome Matriarch.

Nodoka stopped Ryoga just at the front door. "What is going on Ryoga?"

Ryoga with sadness he spoke to the elder Saotome. "I asked for her permission to be with Akane... She didn't take it very well... I don't think we are friends anymore..."

Nodoka contemplated. "Give her time Ryoga she will still be your friend I know her by now. She just is going to need her space for a while."

Ryoga sighed a lone tear falling down his cheek. "I hope your right she's like my best and only friend... at that. Akane is different there is a difference between a girlfriend and best friends."

Nodoka nodded her head in acknowledgment. "But that difference has a fine red line."

Ryoga went back to Akane's which could take a month or more. Ranma watched him leave observing him through her bedroom window up until he disappeared in the distance and sighed to herself. Nodoka knocked on the door opening it walking into her room pulling Ranma against her in a hug.

"Honey you knew this would happen you should have gone after one of the two now your time has run out," Nodoka note in a calm collected tone.

Ranma sighed some tears still falling. "I know momma I just didn't feel I was ready for a relationship yet... If your worried I don't want to be his friend anymore don't worry. I plan to talk to him again, I won't break our friendship over something like this... After all, it is my fault somewhat."

Nodoka gave Ranko a loving squeeze. "Well, then someday it will all work out in the end."

A year and a half later.

Ranma sat with the rest of the girls at her friend Ryoga and Akane's wedding ceremony.

Ukyo having not seen Ranma since the last time they fought. "Ranma thanks for talking to my father personally. I really didn't enjoy fighting you.."

Ranma shrugged her shoulders, a solemn expression to her features. "It's alright let's drop it Uchan... I don't really have the strength to be having these conversations anymore."

Shampoo sat down at the table with all the bridesmaids.

"Too Too interesting wedding I prefer Amazon festival." Shampoo stated.

Mousse nodded in agreement from his standing position very near to Shampoo.

After a few minutes a Polar bear sat down at their table using a teakettle turning herself back to human.

Ranko started to laugh... gaining a wide-eyed expression "Cologne what happened to you?"

Cologne shrugged her shoulders, looking to the Neko-girl. "I was training a new crop of Amazons warriors when one of them had managed to get the drop on me kicking me into the air and I splashed down in one of your springs."

Shampoo giggled at this since now she and Mousse weren't the only Amazons with curses. "Wasn't Zaingafushu was it Great Grandmother?"

Cologne gave a slight nodding of acknowledgment. "Yea shes a real bruiser... Say Ranma why aren't you the one getting married?"

Ranma shrugged her shoulders then stated coolly. "I hesitated and lost both my chances."

Mousse shrugged. "Don't feel bad we all do that stuff some times."

Shampoo nodded. "I myself hesitate many a time."

As everyone went through the services. Ranma played the part of best man standing there in her black tuxedo and four-inch heels to give her some height. As the two loves said I do the Rings were handed off to be slid on their fingers. It would seem to be a wedding that was going off without a hitch. Minus the explosion from the kitchen revealing a smoky Mousse, Shampoo, And Ukyo coming out of the kitchen coughing and hacking.

Ranma pondered over their appearance deciding to ask. "What was that guys?"

Ukyo laughed a little embarrassed. "We accidentally put the wrong items into the food we were making and the oven exploded on us."

Ranma sighed in realization as she had an idea what had transpired, going on to speak. "I told you to double check and make sure your gunpowder flakes were not among your supplies."

Ukyo shrugged. "Sorry did they get married yet? Don't tell me we blew another Wedding?" she questioned.

Ranko nodded. "Affirmative they already left for home already."

Later that Night Ryoga and Akane were enjoying their first night married tomorrow would be their honeymoon. As they walked downstairs to join the family for dinner a group of people broke the door down.

One of the men stepped in and introduced himself. He was wearing black ninja garb. "I am Sago Shunai and I represent one of the Ten Guardians of the Dragon Scythe. I have come for the girl Akane Tendo."

Ryoga growled, proceeding to place himself between the hostile group and his wife. "What do you want with her?" he questioned, reaching over grabbing his umbrella from the umbrella stand proceeding to brandish it.

Sago gave Ryoga a blank expression. "That is not your concern now hand the girl over, or face the wrath of the Ten!"

Akane sighed looking to the man questioningly. "What do you want with me?"

Sago smiled at Akane. "The dragon has asked for you to be his wife now come along."

Ryoga stood in front of Akane pulling his umbrella out. Charging the man and nine of the ninjas attacked him the battle went on for ten minutes Ryoga managing to hurt several of the Ninjas. Not watching Sago run in and cheap shot him knocking him out puncturing his skin with a poison dagger.

Ryoga turned to fight Sago when he passed out due to the poison falling unconscious the Ten Ninja's grabbed Akane and were gone.
