Ranma returned to the Tendo residence and headed upstairs to the guest room, still holding Ukyo's clothing, spatula and the small fox, whose head peeped out of the pile of clothing, he then turned into the guest room. Ranma then proceeded to put Ukyo's clothes in the corner of the room with the spatula before placing her on the floor, Ranma then approached Dawn who was beginning to get to her feet and fully bask in the little light of the full moon that shone through the storm clouds, restoring her energy, healing her.
Ranma smirked when he looked at Dawn, he could see that even with most of the light of the moon blocked it was still working its magic on her. Ranma then took on his true form and approached Dawn "so how are you feeling?" Ranma asked in concern.
"A lot better, still weak but I can feel my strength returning" Dawn replied, smiling at Ranma, she then noticed the small fox approaching them "who's this?" Dawn then proceeded to ask.
"This is Ukyo, apparently fatty down there has gotten me engaged to more than one girl, however, Ukyo has little interest in marrying me, she just wants to restore her families honour at all costs" Ranma replied, the small fox then nodded her head, Dawn then laid down to rest, in the light of the full moon, Ranma then proceeded to take Ukyo down stairs so that she could become human again.
Ranma and Ukyo stalked into the dining area to see Nodoka sharpening her katana, Genma sweating like crazy while he played shogi with Soun, Akane lifting weights, Kasumi serving tea and Nabiki calculating this months profits. Ranma then took on her human form and proceeded to get some hot water from the kitchen, before using it to become male and to turn Ukyo human, Ranma then tossed her a blanket to cover herself before sending her up stairs to get dressed. Ranma then turned to Nodoka.
"Ukyo is under control, all that we need to do is find a way to restore her honour and if we don't she would be disowned by her family to restore their honour" Ranma stated before sitting next to her.
"okay, well that shouldn't be too hard, looks like Genma's out of the fire, for now" Nodoka said as she began to contemplate how she could restore the girls honour.
The next day…
Ranma awoke on the mat and rose to his paws and nudged Crystal to wake her up before doing the same to Dawn, "how ya feeling?" Ranma then proceeded to ask as Dawn rose to her paws.
"Strong" Dawn replied as she began to stretch, Ranma could barley stop smiling, the wolves then proceeded to go downstairs and get ready to go to there human school when Ukyo came up to Ranma, recognising his wolf form from the night before, Ranma then looked towards Ukyo before taking on his human form.
"You gonna stop attacking me now?" Ranma asked.
"Yeah…sorry about that…listen I wanna start off fresh, friends?" Ukyo asked as she thrusted her hand out, which Ranma just stared at for a moment before taking it.
"Fine, now we better get going" Ranma replied before heading outside and began to make his way to school, with Ukyo, Crystal and Dawn close behind him, now in human form.
School…
As Ranma and co were heading towards the door Ranma's danger sense went off and spun round on his heel just in time to block a giant, heavy umbrella from striking his head with both hands.
"Saotome, prepare to die" an angry voice yelled from the other side of the 'weapon' Ranma then looked up to see a boy around his age in a yellow top, kung fu pants and a bandanna.
"Do I know you" Ranma asked in a bored tone before pushing the 'weapon' back and hitting the boy in the gut in with it, the boy then stumbled back.
"Ranma you put me through hell" the boy cried back before thrusting his 'weapon' forward again, to only go through the heart of Ranma's after image, Ranma then appeared behind the boy and pulled him into a headlock.
"Now who the hell are you?" Ranma roared.
"You really don't know?" the boy gasped out as it became harder to breath.
"If I knew, would I be asking" Ranma replied before releasing him from his grip and decking him before pinning him on his back with his foot, he then began to apply pressure to his chest "now who are you" Ranma asked forcefully.
"Ryoga Hibiki, remember yet, I challenged you to man to man fight and you ran away, you coward" Ryoga roared at Ranma as he tried to get back to his feet only to be slammed back down as Ranma applied more pressure.
"Ryoga, Ryoga…Ryoga" Ranma muttered to himself, trying to place him when he was struck by old memories and he snapped his fingers "Hibiki, now I remember…you challenged me to a fight over bread and you set the time and place, the lot behind your house at noon and I had to wait three days and you never showed" Ranma roared as he glared at Ryoga, his anger beginning to peek.
"Yeah but when I got there on the fourth day, you had already hightailed and ran like the coward you are" Ryoga roared back, Ranma then began to increase the pressure again.
"No one calls me a coward" Ranma growled before stepping off the boy and gripping his neck and lifting him off the ground and into the air "so how about we pick up where we left off" Ranma growled before throwing him to the ground about three metres away, Ryoga then stumbled to his feet and charged at Ranma, swinging his 'weapon' like a maniac, only to slice Ranma's after image again, he then looked up to see Ranma soaring in the sky before landing behind him, Ryoga then turned to see Ranma turning t face him and strike him with a rolling kick, sending him flying into the school walls. Ryoga then charged at Ranma once and swung a punch at Ranma, who leaped to dodge it, planning to strike from behind again, except this time Ryoga swung the umbrella at Ranma, striking him in the gut. Ranma then struck the ground, stood upright, gripping his gut as he began to skid backwards before coming to a halt and glaring at Ryoga who smirked at him.
"Not bad Ryoga, but not good enough" Ranma retorted as he stood upright and let go of his gut and began to crack his fingers before taking on his hybrid form and charging at Ryoga, who swung his fist at Ranma when he was close enough to strike to only have Ranma catch it in his clawed hand, Ranma then began to increase the strength of his grip on Ryoga's hand, Ryoga gritted his teeth as pain thundered through his body, Ryoga then went into a rolling kick and struck Ranma in the rips, causing him to release his grip and stumble back. It was then the final bell wrung and everyone still outside charged for the door, Ranma then let out a sigh "guess we're out of time, we'll finish this later human, but until then" Ranma sighed before striking Ryoga in the gut with his fist, cracking several bones in the process, Ryoga then stumbled back and fell to the ground unconscious, Ranma then scooped him up and took him to the nurses office, before heading to class, now with an excuse for being late.
