Kasumi just stared at Ranma, surprised that he was there. "Well son your situation isn't so bad now is it, not only do you control your curse but now you can choose anyone of my daughters, Kasumi aged nineteen, Nabiki aged seventeen and Akane aged sixteen, choose one of them and the one you pick shall be your fiancé" Soun stated, (Ranma wasn't aware of the ages).

"I'm sorry Mr Tendo but at the moment…I guess you could say I'm off the market, if I marry one of your daughters I forsake my families honour and the honour of a very good friend of mine...besides I'm not one to force girls into marrying me" Ranma replied, stealing another glance at Kasumi, still trying to workout what it was about her that made her seem so interesting.

"But you see Ranma if you don't marry one of my daughters and unite the schools your honour will be at stake, as it was an agreement made several years ago, one of honour, so you see you must marry one of my daughters" Soun replied as a matter of faculty.

"No" Ranma replied, Soun then summoned his demon head and glared at Ranma, Genma slowly back away, however, Ranma just sat there, staring at the attack "pathetic" Ranma stated, he then made eye contact with Soun, his irises going crimson, baring his teeth that were slowly morphing into fangs. Kasumi could see Ranma wasn't going to give up and she couldn't afford to have her father fins out that demons exist.

"I think he choose Akane" Nabiki stated getting everyone's attention, Akane then glared at her older sister appalled at the suggestion of her marrying a boy she'd just met who could turn from boy to girl with sheer force of will and in Akane's head that all added to Ranma being the mega pervert of Nerima.

"No Nabiki it isn't proper to force a boy onto Akane just because you don't want to risk marrying him" Kasumi scolded, Nabiki then looked down in shame. "I'll take the engagement" Kasumi then stated, knowing her father would have been pushing her younger sisters to marry Ranma, but with her it was a different story, especially if she used her innocent act and her stern glare or even a cheerful expression, no one would dare try and force her to anything, no one had the heart to.

Soun's demon head dissipated and he span round to face Kasumi with a mixture of pride and confusion in his eyes, Ranma's fangs blunted until they were normal human teeth again, his eyes gradually faded from crimson to cyan blue as he stared at Kasumi, still trying to workout why she was so interesting and why she took the engagement and judging from the reaction of the other members of the house this wasn't like her. Nabiki and Akane just stared at her.

Later That Night…

Ranma lay in the bath, enjoying the heat of the water, it had been years since he'd been able to do this. The whole time the only thing on his mind were Shampoo and Kasumi, he knew by his honour as well as been his first choice it was his old friend Shampoo who was his first choice, after all he didn't even know Kasumi, but with Shampoo he'd been friend with her for years. He still couldn't figure out what it was about Kasumi that made her so interesting, however, he did know she was working some kind of angle.

From everyone's body language to Kasumi showed that she was the real head of the family, Soun was just a figure head using a technicality and he knew Kasumi knew he wasn't like other boys and that it wasn't just his curse, so what is she up to was the another question that was added to the long list.

Ranma then began to manipulate the water of the bath until a flat circle rose from the water and into the air before stopping in front of him, he could see his reflection. A bright light then began to glow around it and the image of his mother, his true mother appeared.

"Ranma, what a pleasant surprise" Bai Tsa greeted with a cheerful grin.

"Hi mom" Ranma returned, Bai Tsa the frowned.

"Something is troubling you, isn't there?" Bai Tsa asked/stated, her voice full of concern.

"Well, I guess you could say that…this girl Kasumi Tendo, there's just something about her…she just seems interesting…I just don't know why…and she knows something…in her eyes when she looks at me…she knows something about who I really am" Ranma replied frowning.

"Hmmm…Tendo, Tendo, Kasumi Tendo" Bai Tsa thought aloud, she had to admit it did sound familiar, she just couldn't remember why "Leave it with me, she does sound familiar though" Bai Tsa replied, they then said the goodbyes and the image faded, showing only Ranma's dim reflection again before dropping back into the bath.

A/N Sorry this is so short
