AN: Let the insanity start! And yes, I know, Hild should have been able to come up with a truly kick ass, air tight plan to get Ranma to fall madly, truly, deeply in love with her, or failing that, a sneaky, down right diabolically deviously evil plan to get rid of all of the competition. But then we couldn't have as much fun watching all this insanity, now could we? So let's watch as Hild walks into the crazy town of Nerima blind, and with no plan! God almighty, you should fell sorry for everyone. And I truly mean everyone. Are you listening almighty Kami-sama? You'd better be prepared for overtime! Now say your prayers and pay up your insurance Nerima, for Hell's just come a calling.

HELL'S ONE TRUE LOVE

CHAPTER ONE

HILD'S DECISION:

LOVE IT IS!

Tendo House and Dojo: Nerima Japan: One week after the fateful slumber party

To tell the truth, they just couldn't come up with a good plan. Really. All their ideas had glaring and totally obvious holes in them, ones that just led them to throw all idea of ever planning anything for this juncture out the window. So what could they do?

They just decided to insert them selves, well Hild at least, strait into the middle of the fiancée mess by having her laying her claim to Ranma. Now remember, we have the ruler of Hell, and her two Daughters, and one of them claims to be a Love Goddess, and they can't come up with a better plan than this. It truly shows how chaotic Ranma's life is, when a Goddess, a Demoness, and a true master planer, one that can plan for any possible contingency, the Devil herself, can't come up with a clue of how to get an idea of how to make a plan for this.

So Hild was just walking up to the Tendo residence, her two daughters behind her, and steeling her self for what ever may happen. For this was the first time in eons beyond eons that she had ever gone in blind, and without a plan. It was kind of exciting to her really.

After knocking on the door, Kasumi Tendo answered it. "Yes? How may I help you ladies?" She asked politely.

"Is Ranma Saotome in?" Hild asked.

As soon as she said that, Nabiki Tendo popped into view. "Great, more fiancées I take it. Well come in, the idiot will be down soon."

As Kasumi led them to the couch, Nabiki went to get Ranma.

Hild, Mara and Urd were patiently sitting on the couch, when Ranma came down the stairs, followed by Akane. Akane took one look at the trio on the couch and went "Hmmph." putting her nose in the air. "Maybe you can marry one of them, seeing as I'll never do it." She said callously.

Nabiki sighed. She was beginning to think she had sabotaged her sisters wedding correctly, but for the wrong reasons. It wasn't Ranma who wasn't worthy of Akane, but Akane who was just not ready for marriage. And she might never be. Kasumi had surprisingly agreed with her when she said that aloud in her presence.

Genma, Soun and Nodoka had just come in moments after Ranma and Akane, so the whole family, such as it was, was here.

After all of them were sitting down, Ranma started things off. "Ok, which of you is my new fiancée, or is today my really lucky day, and I got a three for one sale? Oh and what did my Pop's sell me for this time?" Ranma asked slightly board, and a little annoyed.

"Well, none of us is a fiancée, yet anyway, but your right, your father did sell you again, this time rather badly. My card." Hild said, handing Ranma her business card.

Ranma took one look at it and stiffened. He was WAY too experienced with these sort of things to take this as a joke. He knew it was real.

"So, you're the Devil?" He asked, cautiously.

"One of my many titles. Please, just call me Hild." Hild said off handedly while the room went into cautious mode. They too were very experienced with this sort of thing. "On my right is my oldest Daughter Urd, Goddess of the Past, and on my left is my other and youngest Daughter Mara, who is also my top Demoness agent." She said, introducing her Daughters.

"Nice to meet you." Ranma said cautiously. "So, uh, why are you here?" Ranma said bluntly.

"About twenty years ago, before you were even born Ranma, your father Genma sold me his first born child, that's you by the way, soul in exchange for my paying his rather outrageous bar tab." Hild told Ranma.

The room went silent. Then Nodoka shrieked "You did that!" She drew her katana and started to chase after her husband, who went running for his life. Ranma just sighed and said

"And I thought that after Guinness named me as the man with the most legal fiancées in the world, it couldn't get any worse for me. Stupid Panda! Why must you always prove that your stupidity and greed knows no bounds!" Ranma screamed the last two lines, shaking his fists to the heavens.

"So, have you come to um, claim Ranma's soul?" Kasumi asked nervously.

"No. you wouldn't believe what I've gone through to keep him alive so I wouldn't. I've lost track of the number of times I've saved his life so I didn't collect." Hild told them.

Everyone in the room stopped at that statement. Genma was finally aloud to slip into unconsciousness from his severe beating and blood loss at the hands of his wife, as she paused at hearing that.

It was Nabiki who asked the obvious question on everyone's mind. "Um, why don't you want to collect Ranma's soul?" she asked, dreading the answer.

Hild blushed and looked down. Urd, upon seeing her Mother, the great and terrible Hild like this, laughed long and hard, while Mara just lightly chuckled. After getting her laughter out of her system, Urd started to explain for her blushing Mother.

"Seeing as Mom's kind of speechless at the moment, I'll tell you. You see, shortly after Ranma was born, she went to check up on her purchase. And she fell in love with Ranma as a new born baby." Urd said, starting to giggle again. "She's been I love with him, all his life, but hasn't know how to approach him. Feel honored kid. You're the first being she's ever been in love with. Everyone else has just been one night stands for her. Including our fathers. So when she finally told us about you, we convinced her to just come down here and tell you before you finally kicked the bucket and she'd never know if it could have worked out." Urd finished.

They were all speechless at that moment. Then Kasumi asked "Um why would she never know if he died? Wouldn't he go to, um her place? Wouldn't that be the best time to find out?" Kasumi asked with a scrunched up face, trying to understand this.

"Well not really, no." Mara said, seeing as her Mother was just staring at her fingers while playing with them. "You see, when most people go to Hell, while Mom has total jurisdiction over every aspect of their continued existence, they still have a semblance of free will. It's easier to torture them that way. But those who's soul have been bought by her, well they lose all free will to her. They become little more then puppets to her will. So if Ranma died before she knew if they could possible hit it off, she would never know, for she could tell him to do anything, and he'd do it to please her. Needless to say, she didn't want that. So she's just kept him alive, till she had the courage to face him and ask him something. So Mom, are you going to ask him now or what?" She said, looking over at her Mother, whom was still utterly fascinated by her hands.

Hild looked up at the room. Seeming to square herself for a battle, she looked Ranma in the eyes and asked him one simple question. "Hello Ranma, my name is Hild. Will you go on a date with me tonight?"

AN: Yes! I finished Chapter One! What do you think? It's not as good as I had hoped for, but it's well enough. And Ranma has just been put on the spot hasn't he? Well next time I give his answer. His final answer, what with this story might be obvious, but I just might surprise you with how he answers it. And who here was honestly expecting them to just come clean and ask for a date afterwards? Like I said, they couldn't come up with a better plan then this. If I haven't turned you off this story by having the three sneaky ones be totally blunt and obvious with their intentions, then check back next time for Ranma's answer and more!
