Ranma and melody sat in class, next to each other, Hinako was teaching them and was keeping a close eye on Ranma and melody, melody slid her seat a little closer to Ranma when she spotted all the looks she was getting of either lust or hate, Ranma then turned and saw the looks and simply cracked his fists and everyone backed off and looked away.

"listen Ranma no one and I repeat no one threatens my students or disciplines them but me" the teacher yelled as she pulled out a ten yen coin "ten yen satsu" she yelled, Ranma then blocked melody and felt the pull of his energy as his aura was been sucked up by the coin, 5 minutes had passed and Ranma still stood which confused hinako as normally students became helpless and beaten instantly, Ranma then thought of something and smirked, he figured because his mermaid heritage had awakened that his energy reserves were released slower and had more energy now, he then twisted his wrist and some of the moisture left hinako's hand and filled the coin until it rusted, however, it still slightly worked so Ranma then pulled all the moisture out of it and threw it to the floor and anyone who had been staring at his sister which was most of the class including Akane, the coin then fell to dust in hinako's hand, the teacher gasped and looked down at the pile of dust now on her desk.

"Now listen here teach if you put my sister in danger like that again I won't be so nice" Ranma said angrily.

After school…

Ranma and melody walked out of the building, Ranma then headed down the route which would take them to the Tendo's residence. "Ranma why are we going this way?" melody asked nervously.

"I have something to do concerning genma and all the hell he put me through" Ranma replied.

"hi Ranma" a voice said, a voice Ranma new far too well, he then turned to see,

"Nabiki and what may I ask do you want?" Ranma asked, ready to pull another water trick.

"just wondering why you didn't come home yesterday and turn up to school today with another girl" Nabiki responded.

"I'm moving out Nabiki and this 'girl' is my sister, I have found my true family, my biological family" Ranma said before continuing with melody, Nabiki just smirked, thinking about how much money she could get from this development if she got home first and followed this through.

Tendo complex…

Ranma and melody walked through the gate and saw genma already waiting for him.

"Ranma how dare you run away and meet some girl when your engaged how much of an dishonourable son can I have, well it looks like I'll have to beat it into you" genma yelled as he ran at Ranma, Ranma just smirked and used the mans own sweat to activate his curse before using his own sweat as a force and knocked him into the wall.

"well genma perhaps you don't recognize this 'girl' perhaps from a kingdom far away when you stayed with the king and queen for a night" genma began to sweat "you know where you stole there food, but perhaps I should be more specific after all you stole so much food from many different people and their families didn't you where you stole their only son" Ranma roared genma began to shake "yeah I know what you did you took me from my family got me cursed put me through hell, got me engaged several times and you put my family through hell, well this 'girl' is my sister" Ranma roared and his aura flared, dark red and as tall as a skyscraper, Ranma then felt melody hug his arm and felt his anger diminish, he didn't want to lose his family because of the anger genma had engraved into in him, Ranma then headed to his room and emerged with a small bag he was about to leave until there was another interruption.

"where do you think your going Ranma you are to marry my Akane" soun yelled.

"I'm not marrying anyone genma said one of your daughters will marry his son, however, he doesn't have a son, he kidnapped me and I've only just got my family back and my father isn't trying to marry me off for a free meal and my mother isn't trying to get me to have a wife and several mistresses they care about me as does my sister and I care about them, so I'm not going to let promises from a man with no honour drag me down as far as I'm concerned the engagement is null and void and now if you'll excuse me, me and melody are going home" Ranma replied and left the Tendo residence. Ranma and melody then crossed the small road and prepared to jump over the fence when Ranma's danger sense went off, he then pulled melody out of the way as a part of the fence exploded into rubble and a cloud of dust and when it began to clear a shadowy figure began to form and once it was cleared Ryoga stood there glaring at Ranma. He then turned and ran towards them.

"Ranma prepare to die" he yelled, Ranma then slid his leg under Ryoga and he fell to the ground.

"come on melody lets go home" Ranma said as he picked melody up bridal style and jumped over the fence and into the river and let go of melody and they watched each other in amazement as their legs merged into tales, Ranma had turned into a girl, he has yet to realize what happened that day when he turned back without water, they both had crimson tales the two of them then swam home and looked around at the life in the lake with wonder.
