I am submitting this rough draft of a chapter in a story I call
Mad Ranma. The story as a whole would show Ranma's history between his
leaving home and arriving at the Tendo's is rather different from what
is normally assumed. I mention one of the differences in this section.
This is why he may seem rather OOC.
    I don't own the characters they were invented by Takahashi and
enslaved by Viz communications( hopefully that will keep any revenfic
visitations away at least the bad ones) (also the lawyers, if their is
a difference)

and now on with the story
I was listening to Akane as she began to complain that all that was
wrong with the world was my fault and that she wished she wasn't
engaged to me; the usual complaints; and I started to explain to her
that although Ukyo could cook better and Shampoo could fight better,
she was the one I would marry and the one I cared the most about (
although she had been wearing my love pretty thin with her actions
recently). Still I was about half way through my explanation when it
happened.
 I was turning away for dramatic effect when I heard Ranko shout "Duck
Ranma" and I felt a push on my back which shoved me a few feet away;
behind me I heard the low dull sound of a Hammer hitting meat and
swung around to see Ranko flying off and Akane holding her hammer
which was dripping blood. There was a trail of blood in the direction
Ranko was traveling in-.
  I spun and said "Akane- WISH GRANTED"
  I  began to run after Ranko. After I hit the rooftops for a couple
of blocks , I realized that Ranko was traveling faster than I was, so
I began using a trick I had learned from Happosai and slid into a
different dimension, one from which I could reappear in this world at
a distance in the direction I had been traveling in. This enabled me
to quickly catch up with Ranko and then to pass her. I figured that
she was going to land in or near that temple, as I ran up to it I saw
a sign Cherry Hill Temple and reaching the top, prepared to catch my
sister.
  As I stood there two children came out, one of had pink hair and the
other was black haired. I warned them that my sister had been injured
and had been thrown this way and suggested that they might not want to
see this or at least they should let the people running the temple
know what I am doing. The pink haired on ran in and the dark haired
girl came over and offered to help, saying that she was a healer.
Before I could reply Ranko  came in and I caught her, when I saw how
badly Akane had hurt her I froze for a second and my aura flashed
light   like  a light bulb going from barely visible glow to an
invisible ultra-violet before I regained control. Ranko had a compound
fracture of the right arm and compound fractures of two ribs (visible)
one of her legs was broken also. I don't know how bad the internal
injuries were but I asked the kid "where the nearest Hospital with a
Trauma center is?"
 She didn't answer just touched Ranko and began to glow after a second
or so I could see the improvements in her body. Then The KID sat down
and said will you swear not to tell anyone what you are about to see.
I replied " I promise not to tell any one who you are or what you did
with out your permission."
 The kid lifted up this funny shaped stick and said something. I was
to worried about Ranko to care what especially, something eternal I
think but I couldn't swear to it., Anyhow after she changed into this
strange, very short skirted, school uniform and grew a couple of
inches taller; she touched Ranko again and this time I could see sis's
wound heal fast much faster than before. When she was done, I thanked
her and I told her that the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial
Arts owed her a big favor for saving my sisters life and I owed her a
favor personally as well.
 Behind us several teenage girls had come out of the temple and were
watching us. I thanked her again ( she said to call her Sailor Saturn
in this form) The other girls were upset with her and afraid I would
tell her secret or make fun of her. I told them I was an honorable
student of the martial arts- twelfth dan in anything goes and ninth to
eleventh dan in most other forms. ( note: I know there is no rank
higher than tenth level in our world but this is Ranma's world and the
ranks just keep going as long as you keep improving. Also tenth dan in
our world is equal to about a seventh dan there roughly just before
you start to use chi efetionetly)
 I said I owed my sister's life to Sailor Saturn and would help her
when I could.
I asked if any of them knew where Nodoka Saotome's house was, as it
was the closest and I wanted Ranko to have some rest before meeting
the storm that arise when we went back to the Tendo's. This was how I
first met the Sailor Senchi in my experience.
 Getting directions I went to our mother's house, she wasn't there but
I had a key so I went in and put Ranko on her old bed. Going
downstairs I called the Tendo's and let Mom and Pop know where we
were. They said they would be right  home to help take care of her and
did I want Akane to come?
 I said "NO!!!" "I don't want Akane anywhere near her or me. As I
could not swear to control myself right now." I promised to go over
there in a day or two when my temper was under better control and
discuss various matters with her and her family.
 Two days later after Ranko had fully recovered from the shock of the
injury and after I had explained to our Parents just how serious it
had been and explained and explained until they finally grasped the
idea. We went to the Tendo Dojo.
 Before I could open my mouth Akane wanted to know what I meant by
saying wish granted before I left the dojo the other Day.
 "You said you wished you weren't engaged to a me, then you used a Ki
assisted hammer strike towards me, because Ranko pushed me aside you
hit her and nearly killed her instead of me. So now you have your
wish, you and I are no longer engaged to be married"
 Mr. Tendo went into hysterics and Akane tried to hit me a few more
times before I could get anyone to listen to me. I finally Screamed"
SHUT UP"
 I told them that left two more Tendo sisters and if one of them
wanted to marry me I would consider her my fiancee or if not I would
consider the promise ended with no loss of honor on either side.  I
also told them that I wanted to talk to Nabiki and Kasumi together,
then  each alone and then together again and then we would discus the
results , but only on two conditions no one was to talk to the girls
except each other until after my final talk with them together and the
final results would accepted as final no trying to change themby
anyone other than we three. The so- called mature adults weren't happy
about it but finally agreed.
 We agreed to use Nabiki's room as the meeting place as the most
private room in the house.
 When Kasumi came in, I asked "Kasumi do you love me?"
 She replied "oh my No"
 I asked " Do you want to marry me?"
 She replied "oh my No"
 I asked do you love Dr. Ono?"
 She replied "oh my Yes"
 I asked " Do you want to marry Dr. Ono?"
 She replied "oh my Yes"
 I asked  " Do you want to go to college?"
 She replied "oh my Yes"
 I said "Please send in Nabiki"
 When Nabiki had arrived and settled down, I asked
 Nabiki, Do you love me?"
 She replied like a brother or a friend
 Nabiki, "do you want to marry me?'
 "NO!!!"
 "All right, this is the problem, I don't want to associate with Akane
let alone marry her especially after that last display of hatred. I
like you but I don't especially want to marry you. Kasumi is in love
with Dr. Ono. Now if you refuse to be my fiancee, Your father is
almost certainly going to force Kasumi to agree to marry me and I
think she has given up enough for this family. I think we should be
engaged with a written statement that it is only temporary and listing
the results of breaking the engagement." It should last until Kasumi
gets married, then you break the engagement and I will declare the
promise void and move out. We can still be friends, but I won't have
to put up with Akane's anger anymore. I will pay you enough to run the
household for five years in cash or an investment which will pay
enough to keep it going at a lower yearly cost indefinitely. I will
also pay for Mom to take over Kasumi's duties here so pop can stay and
keep your dad happy. Is that ok with you?" "Do you see any serious
flaws?"
 Nabiki was astounded first that I had that kind of money and then
that I could come up with such a workable plan. I told I had been
forced to take care of the money for Pop and I  the last seven years
of the training trip as Pop kept spending it all. I said I just
treated the stock market like Martial Arts Brokering, but I don't
especially value money, that's why I kept letting her trick me out of
so much money for running the dojo; about eighty per cent of the total
amount to run the dojo and household above and beyond our actual
costs. I added I know that last mess caused you to have to dig into
your college money and if you check your balances, you will find out,
I paid a forfeit of enough money to put you through eight years of
almost any college in Japan or the world."
 I then asked her "Do you agree to my plan?"
She did and we drew up a contract binding on us both. Then we called
in Kasumi and
explained that we would be fiancees if she would agree to either marry
Dr. Ono or go to college or both. She was very excited but then she
asked who would take care of the house. I said I thought Mom would as
Pop wanted to stay here and she enjoys housework but if she didn't
want to then Nabiki and I would take care of the problem. Then she
wanted to know why we thought Dr. Ono could propose, with his problem.
I said I had an idea and wanted to try it before I told anybody about
it but if my idea failed that I was sure Nabiki could come up with a
solution. Nabiki just gave me a dirty look and shook her head.
 So we went down stairs where I explained the deal to everyone. Mom
was thrilled and Pop and Mr. Tendo were happy. Akane was gone so I
didn't know how she felt.
 I went to Ono's office and told him that Akane and I had broken up as
a couple and I had to get engaged to one of the other Tendo sisters. I
said it was a shame but I would probably have to pick Kasumi, just out
of pity, as she was in love with a man who didn't love her. Ono
demanded to know how I knew this. I said" I asked her."
Then he wanted to know who, I replied- him. Everybody knew he didn't
love Kasumi or he would have asked her to marry him or at least
replied when she asked him to marry her.
 Well Ono got a real funny look in his eye and ran off, I locked up
the office and the followed him to the Tendo's where I was just in
time to hear her say yes.
The wedding was held the following week, Akane was one of Kasumi's
Bridesmaids and it was the first time I had seen her since the day of
the fight.
    She didn't say a word to me the whole day. nor did she threaten
me.
