 She ain't THAT crazy

Actually, sugar... she may be (I know that's not a nice thing to say
about your would-be mother-in-law, but c'mon... seppuku?  At least
she wouldn't be forcing Ran-chan to go through with it in this story)
Keep in mind what actions/attitudes she considers manly, such as
Ran-chan's apparant voyeurism.  She seems to equate certain 
(albeit mild) perversions with manliness.  Who better to learn such
stuff from than Happi?  And he knows martial arts, too (<g> talk 
about your *gross* understatements).

Of course, Genma would not be seeking out Happosai (hell, he 
thinks he and Soun salted the old freak away behind no small 
amount of dynamite, after all), so I doubt the master would even 
be on his laundry list of training trips.  But *I* think Nodoka-san
might actually welcome his instruction of Ran-chan.

 >  She would probably teach him the sword styles she knows as well.

::nod::  That'd render Kuno even *more* impotent; can you see
Ran-chan taking over the kendo club?  Better yet, drafted to its
presidency by the other members?

 >  Would she make Ranma wait for Ryoga to show up for the fight?

Depends on if Ran-chan tells her about the fight.  A duel between
men is probably not something Ran-chan would go running off to
tell either of his folks about... he'd just show up.  If she found out, 
Nodoka-san would probably insist the duel take place, but give 
Ryoga a thorough dressing-down for his lack of punctuality (and 
therefore, seeming lack of respect for his opponant)

One thing that worries me... would Nodoka go to Jusenkyou without
investigating it first?  I don't think so.  But if she doesn't go, the 
whole plot is shot, ne?  The other possibility that cuts this story
short is if they *do* go, and Ran-chan falls into the Nyanniichuan,
wouldn't SHE then perform seppuku right then and there, possibly
even before discovering the hot water-cold water nature of the 
curse?

Just a few thoughts.  An intriguing premise, indeed...

Itsu mo,
Ucchan  ^_^

(who, now that she thinks of it, would wind up completely 
 excluded from this story... Waaaah!!)
