Last Episode: Ayeka, Ihrie and Akane begin to figure
out why they all feel sort of familiar to each other.
Ihrie finds out that her old boyfriend was Fam's
grandson and her half-brother. The Manos discover
that they're half-demon. Ryouga is revealed as
Mihoshi's brother. And Nabiki and Washu have an
argument over dimensional pockets.
*******************************************************
"What's the matter Skuld?" Urd asked her rather
frantic sister. The younger goddess looked up from
her scanner.
"LOOK AT THIS!! There are multiple
time-distortions all in one place!! How did this
happen?" Urd took a moment to look and then put her
own powers to the test.
"Oh, that explains it," Urd said finally. Skuld
looked at her sister questionably. "Sis's
great-grandaughters."
"Oh please," Skuld sniffed. "Her grandaughter
wasn't even born on this world, besides aside from
this Keiichi person you want to hook her up with she
hasn't had a boyfriend in millennia. If her relatives
really really were here there'd be..." Skuld looked at
her scanner and slumped.
"Multiple time-distortions all in one place?" Urd
smirked.
"Okay, Okay, but THESE three have been here all
their lives," Skuld pointed out. "And they haven't
set off any of my scanners....well two of them are
half-mazoku, but that's a different story...and what
about them and that half-elf!?!" She looked at her
scanners a little longer. "HOW MANY HALF MAZOKU ARE
ON THIS PLANET!??!? SAIYAN?!? They haven't even
evolved yet!!! ARRGGG!!!"
Urd was unsuccessfully trying to hold in her
laughter. This whole set up was well worth the look
on her youngest sister's face.
"Oh my," Urd stopped laughing and turned to face
her sister. "Perhaps we should pay them a visit."
*******************************************************
While Nabiki and that green-haired woman were
talking to the three exorcists, Ukyou and her mother
had their own discussion. Jiro sat off to the side
looking rather nervous and annoyed.
"You mean I could stay young FOREVER?" Ukyou asked,
her eyes began take on the appearance of stars.
"Hey, this is not as great as it might seem!" Leaf
snapped.
"What could be bad about living forever?" Ukyou
asked, confused. Leaf sighed expressively.
"Well there is the tendency to outlive many of the
people you care about," both turned to look at Nodoka
and blinked.
"Err, how would you know what that's like?" Leaf
asked, confused.
"Oh, I'm about three hundred years old," Nodoka
said serenly. Ukyou face faulted, while Leaf tried to
figure out what she was. "I'm Father's oldest child
you see, at least as far as I know."
"How!?" both demanded at once.
"The power of Jurai," a new voice said. Leaf
irritably turned to face the older man. "It keeps our
people young for a long time, I myself have been
around for several thousand years, and been on Earth
for a little over eight hundred years."
"Okay, I'm glad to meet another few long-lived
people, but this is a family thing so SHEW!!" Leaf
waved the intelopers away doing her best to ignore the
amused looks on their faces. She turned back to see
her daughter smirking conspiratorily.
"That means all I have to do is outlive Akane! If
that's Ranchan's mother and grandfather he could live
practically forever too!"
~Great, I wonder if she'll by able to hear the
other consequences now.~ Leaf sighed expressively,
this was going to take longer than she thought.
Privacy would be nice but she was not about to trust
that greedy girl again. Even supposing her intentions
were good.
*******************************************************
After being shewed away by the irritated half-elf,
Nodoka walked over and stared at Jiro Kuonji. Having
been on the recieving end of a lot of abuse lately
this made him very nervous.
"You are Ukyou's father then?" she asked.
"Uh yes," he shifted nervously, aware that this was
how a lot of bad things had started recently.
"So I assume you met my husband through the
children."
"Well, actually no," he said, sweatdropping. "We
both were taking this class on parenting and ethics, I
guess Ukyou and Ranma started their friendship while
waiting around for us."
"Parenting and ethics?" Nodoka blinked. "He took a
class and still turned out as hideous a parent as
that?"
"Considering my wife's reactions I'm beginning to
think I didn't quite soak all the information either."
"What was the name of this class?"
"Parenting and Ethics, like I said," Jiro hmphed in
frustration at the obtuseness of women. "The
instructor's life has even been made into an American
sitcom."
"Oh really, and what is this instructor's name?"
Nodoka asked, curious.
"Al Bundy, I think," the elder Kuonji shrugged.
"By the way," Nodoka arranged her kimono
momentarily. "You are aware that Genma is Ranma's
stepfather, are you not?"
"No," he said slowly, looking at her nervously.
"Why do you bring that up?"
"Well, you see the only engagements Ranma really
has an obligation to uphold are those that I agreed
to," she noted. "And I believe that the only one I
was aware of until recently was the Tendo agreement.
You see I left my son's martial arts training up to my
husband, but I kept control otherwise." Jiro blinked
for a moment.
"SAOTOME MUST DIE!!!!"
*******************************************************
"Nabiki!!" the named person turned to see her
sister stalking out of the woods. Following her were
the princess, and a third girl, who, surprise,
surprise, felt familiar. Behind them came virtually
everybody else, aside from Ranma, Sasami and Ryouga.
However, the occaisional, "Ryouga-san you're going the
wrong way," or "THAT WAY STUPID!!" could be heard.
"Detective Kiyone! You know something about all
this I know you do!!"
"Yohko Mano," Nabiki said dryly to the demon-hunter
that was still trying to wake up her sister. "Meet
more of your sisters."
"Huh?" Yohko blinked letting Iako's head fall back
to the ground. The more serious demon hunter woke up
and snatched Yohko down to face her.
"Let's find the Kuno and get out of here," she
growled.
"In case you're interested," Kiyone said as the
crowd began to approach them. "Our father is supposed
to be here with my mother to visit in a little while."
"In that case we can probably stay a little while
longer," Iako said with a vicious smile that drew
sweatdrops from Yohko and Kiyone.
"Okay, ONE of you two has got to know what's going
on here," Akane snapped. "You've been getting along
well since we got here!"
"Yes, Detective Kiyone, almost like you know each
other from somewhere," Ayeka put in. Nabiki and
Kiyone glanced at each other. Kiyone sighed
expressively and hesitantly handed Nabiki a wad of
cash.
"Well, Akane, you see Mother....had an affair,"
Nabiki said quietly. "We're not Daddy's children, not
genetically at least."
"WHAT!!?" Akane blinked.
"Finally got here," Ranma muttered as he and Sasami
guided Ryouga into the courtyard. Upon hearing
Akane's shout he and Ryouga leaped over.
"What's going..."
"RYOUGA-CHAN!!" Ryouga barely had time to register
the voice before he was glomped. "I'm so HAPPY to see
you again!!"
"AGGG!! Mihoshi??" Ryouga sputtered, trying to
breathe. "You're crushing me, could you calm down
please?" Everybody paused a moment to watch, Ranma
and Akane's jaw dropped. Somebody was squeezing
Ryouga hard enough to cause pain.
"But I like my hair blonde," Mihoshi whined.
"Hurts, hurts, calm..."
"Well, okay, if you really want me to," Mihoshi
released a breath almost like a spoiled child who is
reluctantly doing what she is told. She let Ryouga
go, and calmed down. All the Tenchi group jumped as
Mihoshi's blonde hair darkened to black. The Nerimans
just looked to where Ryouga was trying to get his
breath back.
"Damn, she's strong," Ranma muttered.
"I like blonde hair," Mihoshi whined holding her
hair in front of her face.
"What just happened?" Kiyone asked, everybody was
distracted from the former discussion. Washu did some
quick calculations.
"Hey, its gone!"
"What's gone," Tenchi asked, blinking.
"That energy field around Mihoshi," Washu
explained. "The one that I always attributed some of
her clumsiness to."
"Oh please, like everything that idiot does can be
explained by some energy field," Kiyone noted.
"I did say SOME, not all, or even MOST," Washu
noted. "This is interesting."
"Its not fair, me and A-Ko are the fighters,"
Ryouga grumbled. "And that ditz figures it out
first?!"
"Come on girls," Nabiki noted. "Shows over and we
have our own problems to attend to." She waved over
the various girls. "You come too, Ranma, this has to
do with you."
"I think Ryoko and Fam should come as well," Ihrie
noted.
"Umm why?" Kiyone asked suddenly nervous.
"Because Fam is Ryoko's mother," Ihrie explained.
"And Ryoko had a kid with on Xellos Metallium."
Kiyone turned a slight shade of green, Nabiki noticed.
"Problem, sis?"
"Great, of all the things I didn't want to share
with Dad," Kiyone muttered.
"KIYONE!!" Ryoko shouted as everybody looked at
her wide-eyed. Nabiki and Ayeka smirked.
"Oops, uh, sorry Ryoko," Kiyone laughed,
embarrassed.
"It was one time!" Ryoko protested. "I was drunk
around Jupiter and she pulled me over. Next thing I
know I wake up next to her."
"You forgot about karaoke night with me and
Mihoshi," Kiyone noted, enjoying the teasing now that
she could do a little. ~Well if one story is out its
all coming out.~
"Ryo-Chan!" Fam gasped.
"You, and Kiyone?" Tenchi blinked.
"Oh come on, Tenchi," Kiyone said. "You know I can
pretty persuasive, something a picked up from dad."
"LORD TENCHI!!?"
"Incidentally, that duplication trick of hers is
great." Ryoko blushed with the renewed attention.
"Though Washu has some...interesting skills as well."
"What about Ayeka," Ryoko asked, noticing that the
princess hadn't been mentioned yet.
"What are you implying Ryoko!?" Ayeka snapped.
"Hey, I'm a blood relation of Ayeka's," Kiyone
said. Everybody blinked at her. "Well, I think so
anyway."
"No you are not!!" Ayeka snapped.
"So who haven't you slept with?" Tenchi asked,
trying to recover from the relevations.
"Sasami and Ayeka," Kiyone admitted. Everybody
turned to look at Yosho and Nobuyuki who were standing
a ways back. "Sasami's way to young."
"I could give you a longer list," Nabiki added
dryly, remembering nights in a stable trying to escape
the noise.
"Wait a minute," Tenchi said, sort of green. "Why
are you so disgusted by sleeping with the same person
as your father, and then go around with MY family?"
"I won't be imagining you three as my mother when I
go to sleep tonight," Kiyone noted. Ryoko thought
about that a moment and turned green.
"As you can see," Nabiki coughed. "Our sister
Kiyone has inherited some of Daddy's....habits."
"If Yohko had more courage," Iako noted snidely.
"She'd have a fairly long list as well."
"I refuse to believe that I can be related to such
a...a...hussy!" Ayeka snapped.
"You are," Washu said, revealing a few scans. "The
seven of you are all at least half-sister to each
other."
"Wait a minute," Ranma said. "If you're not really
Soun's daughter, then the Tendo promise doesn't apply
to you!"
"You're HAPPY about that baka!?" Akane shouted.
"Don't you see," Ranma said. "We can get married
now because we want to...not because of some STUPID
agreement." Akane blinked.
"You're right!" Nabiki looked on in mild shock as
Akane and Ranma jumped up and down happily. "It's OUR
decision now!!" This she hadn't expected.
