Urd, the cupid of love, and goddess of the past, sat at the head
of the
   table grinning impishly at her younger sisters, and Keiichi Morisoto,
   who had gathered at the other end of the room.  After hearing the
news
   of Ranma being Urd's child Skuld had started shaking violently, her
   anger clearly visible on her face.  Belldandy, had sat there smiling
at
   the prospect of having a new member in the family and a niece to
   spoil.  Though Skuld was clearly unhappy with the situation.  She had
   been unhappy with Keiichi's wish, but having the red head infront of
her
   as a niece was just to much.  Skuld lept from her position mallet
   swinging toward Ranma's head.  Then the unthinkable happened.  Her
   hammer broke.  The impact of the hammer sent a vibration up her arms
as
   the handle fell limply from her hands.  Belldandys jaw dropped in
   shock at her younger sisters actions.  Looking crossly at the young
   goddess, Belldandy spoke her voice trembling.  "Skuld, that's no way
to
   treat your family.  I want you to appologize to Ranma she is our
niece
   afterall."
 
      The small goddess stuck her lower lip out pouting at Belldandy
before turning
 to Ranma.  With a tremor of anger, and something Ranma couldn't
identify in her voice the
 youngest of the three norns turned to face him.  "I'm sorry, I guesse I
shouldn't have hit you
 like that."   A small chuckle escaped Ranma's lips, as she looked at
the small girl who had just
 malleted her.  "That O.K. auntie, I'm kinda used to it with Akane
malletin me all the time.
 Sorry anout your hammer though, you might want to get a refund."
 
   Belldanady watched the exchange, as she poured small cups of hot tea,
with a somewhat
 shocked look on her face.  Ranma had hardly been fazed by the blow, and
to top it off had almost
 aughed at the attack.  Ranma's life had to have been interesting before
she had made her wish,
 but to have this kind of reaction, from the new diety in training,
frightened her a little.
 It was that moment Banpei came roaring into the room with a wringing
phone in hand.  Breaking
 the dining table as he came to a halt in front of Urd, a small screen
popping out of his hand to
 reveal Kami's beaming face, it helped that he was in his Odin form.
 
    "So, Urd, see you got the rugrat with you now.  Hope you can handle
him."   Belldanady,
 and Skuld onhearing the words from Kami's mouth paled.  The person in
front of them, was
 definitley a girl.  Trembling Belldandy dropped her mug it's contents
spilling over the table
 into Ranma's lap.  The familar sensations spreading through his form as
she became he and Ranma's
 body expanded into a  masculine state.  Kami's voice broke through the
shock as the
 goddess'swatched Ranma's change.  "Oh, and by the way you better tell
our new deity his or her
 depending.  About his, or her new  job.  After-all it isn't every day
we get to fill a position
 like this one.  Ranma, is now the goddess of change and and rebirth in
all their aspects. Though
 Ranma will need to train to learn about the new abilities that will be
surfacing.  Skuld, I want
 you to help Ranma with his schooling while Belldandy friends when they
come looking for him, and
 Urd manages the task of helping Ranma with his powers, and Ranma I want
you help your aunts
 around the temple.  Bell, in the kitchen, Skuld with her combat forms,
and get to know your
 mother better, while keeping him out of trouble, and one last little
thing Skuld watch your
 temper I thinkl it it would do you a great deal of harm if yuor records
showed that you had
 assualted a new goddess in training.  Especially considering your
second class status, is still
 probationary."
 
    Hearing Kami speak to him Ranma did the only thing he could Ranma
fainted, as a white
  light flared around Ranma's form shifting Adding nearly a four inches
to his height, and one to
  his waist. The changes didn't stop there, as Ranma's clothes began to
shimmer into thin air,
 only  to be replaced by an almost identical set of clothing with two
small exceptoins.
  Ranma's Bracers had both beeen black before, now they were almost
exact oppisites.
  One was the purest white with a golden dragon emblazoned upon it,
while the other was the
  blackest night with a red tiger gracing its form.  As the rest of his
clothing reformed they
 expanded slightly to fit his new size.
 
         Moments later the young man awoke to the sounds  of his new
family's voices a heated
 discution was already in full swing.

	Staggering into the room Ranma noted The two elder goddesses in a
heated argument, while the younger one, Skuld was her name if he
remembered, was reading a file with his name on it with the heading
'CASE HISTORY'.  

	The little godess chuckled as she read the file.  "Well, I guess you
can't be that bad Ranma.
After all you do have good taste in clothes, and beides you like ice
cream.  So you can't be all that bad.

	Hearing their younger sister speaking up Urd and Belldandy looked up."

	"Bel, this is Ranma's first night with us, and as far as I'm concerned
that calls for a celebration.  So we're going out for dinner.  If the
you or SKuld wantsto tag along you can, but I want to give Ranma a night
to remember."
