Ranma Meets the Avatrons, Chapter 2

Everyone was surprised as the doorbell rang. After all most of the people that challenged Ranma to a
duel or was a would be fiancee would normally barge in. Some leaving in their wake a new door, Or
rather a large hole in the wall.

"Oh my! I should get the door we have guests," Kasumi said as she went to let the Starliner's in. She
moved to outside to the front gate to meet them. Leaving the rest of the Family wondering about the
Starliner's. This Noha must be very intimidating, Nabiki thought seeing how Genma was cowering in the
corner of the room. Genma was definately afraid of what this person could do.

"Come right this way Mr. Starliner," said Kasumi leading them into the house,

"The family is in the living room waiting to meets you two"

"Thank you for your hospitality Mrs. Tendo," a voice answered her.

Kasumi entered the room, followed by the Starliner's. Mr. Starliner was not what everyone thought
they would look like. Noha Starliner ways not the large Muscle bound man everyone though he would
be. Although he had an athletic build and seem to keep in shape, he actually looked harmless. He was
no hunk, but he was handsome in his own right, the biggest thing noticeable about him was his height.
He was not all that large of a person, barely standing 5 feet tall. With his daughter standing just a few
inches shorter then him. "He's even smaller then Ranmas girl form," Nabiki thought to herself. "This is
going to be interesting."

"This man holds the Saotome's clan honor," Thought Nodoka. Though watching Ranma fighting in his
girl form, which was pretty short in it's own right, it did have it problems for a fighter. Even though she
tended to forget the little fact could be easily overcome through experience. Something that Noha did
possessed. She did think that the main problem would still be getting him to except a duel. Nodoka
could tell by Noha's moments that he was an experienced fighter. But his daughter Lorena was not from
her movement. Genma was right. This girl did not know how to fight at all. And what troubled her the
most was her behavior that seem childlike. Lorena was currently looking at the house with a big
innocent child eyes. "This is going to be a big problem," thought Nodoka, which was confirmed by
Akane.

Akane had also pick up the lack of training in Lorena. "She thinks she is better then me in the art?"
Akane said to herself. "One wrong move from ether Ranma or her and I show them just what a true
martial artist can do to them," Akane though to herself as her anger started to get the better of her.
"Damn! that pervert is giving me another headache. That insensitive jerk is always causing me trouble."
As she felt her head was beginning to bother her again. Akane got ready to give those two something
they deserved in her mind if they managed to embarrass her In a way like Ranma always seem to do.

Ranma was a little sore from his previously encounter with Akane. He was feeling like a prize again, just
like how everyone seems to planned his future for him without caring about what he felt about it. He
wished he could do something about the beatings from Akane but he felt trapped. Even a try and dodge
of Akane's mallet could be seen as showing agitation towards Akane and a breach of Honor. Contrary
to belief Ranma was not stupid or all that unaware of things some people tended to believe. He learned
early on that as far has the youngest Tendo is concerned she always consider all her action justified and
that he would be put to blame for Akane's faults. People were willing to blame and him and attack him
for preceded unfaithfulness toward Akane. Ranma could literally see that if he tried to even defend
himself in any way from one off Akane temper tantrums, her admirers would try to kill him even more
than they are now.

Currently he was watching Lorena. When she entered the room he quickly figured out that the feeling
was definately coming from this girl, and every time she looks toward him she smiled at him. He felt her
fondness for him. And Ranma was intonating at the girls smile. She was wearing a simple blue dress that
hung well on her small figure, and her general appearance was very attractive to look at. She move
gracefully across the room when she walk. But Ranma could tell she did not have any training in the art.
She might just have some basic self defense teaching from her father. Her father however moved with
the confidence of a master. Ranma quickly figured that from the way he was moving, Noha was
downplaying himself and move in a way that displayed no threatening moves. Trying to sense the mans
aura was not very helpful either. It definitely felt alien, but it also had a hidden strength to it. He most
likely ready to react to anything that might happen, thought Ranma.

"Stop staring at that Alien hussy you perverted freak." Akane let out at Ranma. Upset that Ranma was
paying more attention to her then to herself. Even if he was staring at her she would just have something
to say to the jerk for having perverted thoughts about her as well. She continued to think to herself. She
wished this damn headache would go away. It was hard for her to think straight when she got them.
And she always liked to blamed Ranma for giving them to her. Well it did happen when it was just
Kuno that was after her. And that morning ritual he started. The headache had gotten much worse after
Ranma came bringing with him all those problems and showing his perverted ways. And with every
thing that happened with the failed marriage it was happening more often and the pain was getting
worse. She was beginning to think if she just got the pervert out of her life the pain would go away. At
least Ryoga was better then Ranma. Akane knew that he was even a better then Ranma in the Art, and
that Ranma only won because he cheated. He also knew that she was the best around, Ryoga even told
her how she was way better then the other fiancees. Ranma however, told her that they were better in
the art then her. Just like the insensitive jerk he was. Her father has said to her that she was the greatest
martial artist. And was better then anyone he new. Even Genma, her father long time friend had agreed
she was way better than Ranma. Since there was no way that Ranma could be better then his own
father.....

Seeing that each time the this alien girl smiled at Ranma as he looked at him got Akane even more
angry. The girl was very attractive, even beautiful in her own right. She hated the feeling of being
attracted to the girl. She was not a pervert so she denied what she was feeling. Ever since she and her
old friend were caught kissing when they wondered what it was like when she was a little younger and
her father told her that was wrong. When she asked why all Soun would say she was being perverted
just like a boy. And then force her long time and close friend away. Said the he did not want a girl near
his daughter that acted like a perverted boy. And she hated the fact she found Ranma girl form more
attractive then his male form. It must be Ranma's perversion that was making her think that. No way
was she a perverted like him. And now this girl had something about her that seem to suggest she was a
just as pervert as Ranma's female form was. Akane thought to herself that if the girl made one wrong
move she would show just what happened to perverts.

Noha sensing Akane growing hostilities quickly glanced in her direction, then turned to Nodoka giving
her a genuine warm smile. Nodoka was taken by the man. He definitely had an Aura of authority about
him but also had a sensuality abut him that suggested to her that he could be very manly elsewhere as
well in her mind. Nodoka was a little taken with that thought. Even though Genma had not fulfilled any
husbandly duties since Ranma was born. She still remained faithful to him all those years. Even after the
long and lonely training journey Genma and Ranma went on. She did not even think about being
unfaithful when she was alone. What was it about this man that seemed to be so alluring about him.
Nodoka thought to herself. She was brought back to the matter in hand when he spook.

Good afternoon Miss Saotome. I am glad to see you in good health. Noha said to her with a gentle
smile." giving Nodoka a small respectful bow.

"I would like to introduces you to my Daughter Lorena Starliner" Noha said to her bring his daughter
before her"

"Hello Miss Saotome" she cheerfully said to Nodoka with a big smile. Then preceded to gave her a big
hung when a friendly kiss on the check. Being a small girl she was Lorena need to drag her down a little
to do it. "I'm going to be Ranma's fiancee she said giddily, then he won't have to be lonely any more."
she let out he a little frown when she said that. "Can I go and be with Ranma now? Daddy said I had to
what till you said it was alright to be with him" she asked Nodoka with a pleading look in here eyes.

Nodoka was a little lost with this alien girl. She behave more like a child then a girl of 16. She hoped
their was not anything wrong with the girl. She had a innocent aura about her drawn Nodoka into it. "At
least her Father know Proper behavior" when Noha prompted Lorena into making a respectful bow to
her. "I wish I could have a daughter like her." Nodoka thought to herself, totally charmed by the girls
innocent and carefree nature.

Genma seeing that Nodoka was being taking by Lorena's charmed was getting angry. All his hard work
at trying to have a easy life living off of that ungrateful son and it was getting ruined by this alien girl.
Noha had already did the unthinkable when Genma shaded on New Avatron. He had told Genma that
if he was going to stay any longer he should go out and get a real job.

"Ranma this is all you fault if you when such a ungrateful worthless sun and marry a Tendo we would
not be having this problem now. Oh why did you have to be so dishonorable and go against your father
by getting yourself bonded to the alien girl." Genma let out. He knew thing were going to get ugly when
Noha started to tell his tale, he did not to be around then he said all the thing Genma had done.

The shout "Bonded!?" and a small "Oh My can be heard from the house when they heard Genma's
claim.

"Whaaaaaa My son in law is bonded to a alien girl Soun cried out letting loess the water works from his
crying. "Whaaaa the dojo's ruin now that the family will never be joined."

"You will marry a Tendo Boy. Your Honor demand it." yelled out Soun angrily, scolding himself for
letting that little fact out. This however switch the room's attention to him.

"You two time perverted freak, you went and got married behind my back?" Akane added angrily as
her battle aura flared to life. "Why do people think I am willing to marry such a dishonorable two timing
perverted freak like you is beyond me. I don't want anything to do with a freak like you."

"Behave yourself we have guests, We don't need such child like behavior right now." Said Nodoka.
Upset at the outburst of the so call adults in the room.

"It's all the perverts fault if he was not such an insensitive jerk we wouldn't be having this problem."
yelled Akane doing what she does best. Blaming Ranma even if there was evident saying that it is not
his fault. "If he was not unfaithful to me and gotten himself boned to that alien slut. I wound not be
having this trouble now." she snapped back in her defense.

Lorena frighted at Akane outburst ran behind her father letting out the word "Kagone" as she hid behind
him.

"What did you call me you hussies," Akane yelled at the girl advancing no to her. I am going to teach
this girl just what a real Martial artiest can do. "I'll show this alien Hussies just what I'm made of" she
thought to herself. They don't know how to fight. Their just pretending to know the Art so they can
scare us into doing what they want." missing the fact that Noha was moving in a way that displayed he
was a experienced Warrior.

"Enough Akane, they are guest right now and I wouldn't want to have any inappropriate behavior from
you," said Nodoka no longer trusting Akane to behave yourself. "She's not a martial artist, Akane,
attacking her would go against the code and a breach of honor". Informed Nodoka Seeing that Noha
was getting ready to defend his Daughter if Akane attacked her. With Genma's reaction toward them,
Nodoka feared that the young Tendo girl might not survive Noha's wrath if she tried to harm Lorena.

"Akane you stand right here and no further outbursts from you, I had enough of your tantrums lately."
Nodoka toll her. "And Lorena, My child why don't you go over and be with Ranma for a while,"
Nodoka told Lorena. She watched Lorena give her a big smile and start to walk toward Ranma. At
least with Ranma across the room it will separate her from Akane, her anger is getting us into too much
trouble to be trusted around such a innocent child. Nodoka thought to herself. Though what Akane did
next got her angrier in more ways then the ones she did earlier.

Akane seeing in her mind that this alien hussy was going over to her Ranma made her furious. Ranma
belonged to her and she defiantely was not going to let this alien girl have him. "Who gave you
permission to go over to that pervert you alien hussies," Disregarding that Ranma mother just told the
girl to do just that. "Ranma belongs to me, and I can do whatever I like to the pervert, he deserves it for
being unfaithful to me with you, you slut," shouted Akane as she went and grabbed Lorena's hair and
quickly warped it around her fist. Then she gave the hair a hard pull and raised her fist to teach this girl
her place. She expected the girl to cry out and as she pulled her near to give a better chance at
pounding the girl. But the scream of pain the girl let out was not what she was expecting.

Next thing she knew Akane arm was hit hard. Knocking Lorena's hair from her hand. "You cheater,"
Akane let out have she brought her fist down on the girl. Missing the fact the some else had just hit her.

Noha seeing the attack on his daughter went into motion showing a speed similar to what Ranma could
achieve. He hit Akane's arm hard to have her let go of Lorena's hair, And then gave the enraged Akane
a right cross when he saw her bring her fist on his daughter causing Akane head to be violently snapped
backward.

"You Alien freak, you dare lay your hands on me I will kill you," Akane said in a rage summoning her
mallet and swinging it at him. Then she felt Noha hit her with a open palm strike that felt like a freight
train had it hit her. She even felt some of her ribs crack because of the force of the hit. Akane was sent
flying across the room hitting the wall with such a force the wall cracked where she hit it.

Everyone watched as Akane slide down the wall onto the floor out cold. No one would have believed
someone would actually hit Akane in front of Ranma, since Ranma tended to always defend Akane
even when she got herself in trouble. What they didn't know was that currently Ranma was being
assaulted with the sense of pain and fright that was coming from Lorena. Ranma hesitated a seconded
when they hit him. But by the time he decided to stop Akane from attacking. Noha had already made
his move. Ranma was a forgiving person in nature but a huge disgrace to the code of a martial artist was
something he would not tolerate from anyone, especially Akane.

Nabiki was very angry after witnessing what Noha did to her sister. But keep her scowl when she
realize that Akane just petty much stained the Tendo name and performed a act that could ruin the
family Dojo honor. She felt helpless right now and hated it. She know that right now she could not do
anything and just hope her father did not do anything to made matter worse.

"You dare to attack my daughter in my house?!," yelled out Soun in anger. He got ready to attack the
man that just manhandled his youngest daughter. She might have attacked a none combatant but Akane
was his baby girl, besides the Girl was a gaijin and an alien, she was not even human. Soun tried to
convince himself but really did not believe it. He know deep in his heart that Akane just disgraced
herself and the dojo. He just did not wanted to accept that fact. So he just hope by scaring Noha off.
The problem would just disappear and thing could go back to the way they were.

Then Soun did his demon Head technique at Noha, hoping to scare the man off. It had to work, as it
even sacred Happousai. It should work quit well against this alien man. "You will apologize for
attacking my doughier and drop you claim for you disrespect to this dojo," Yelled Soun convinced the
attack would work on him. How Noha reacted almost made Soun wet his pants.

When Soun did his Demon head attack against Noha, he pulled out a gun and was currently pointing it
at Soun head. "I thought you people were civilize and were supposed to be a honorable people but I
see that I have been misinform. Your daughter, without any provocation attacked my daughter,
violation of your own code," Noha stated to Soun.

"Waaaa he going to shoot me and my baby girl is dead on the floor." Soun cried out then did what he
and Genma always did when something scared them. He got on the floor and groveled for Noha's
forgivnesss for Akane's dishonorable behavior.

"Akane's alright father, She just unconscious right now" Informed Kasumi to her over emotional father
"Although I think she's going to be a little sore for a while when she wakes up, Oh My! Why is their
blood on her hand?"

"Look at her Hair! It's bleeding," Nabiki cried out looking at Lorena. Indeed her hair was bleeding, and
a bruise was forming on her hair where Akane had a grip on it. She was cling to Ranma and had a look
of fright on her face. With Ranma looked and seemly ready to attack anyone how might try anything
with her.

Kasumi with a concerned look at the young alien girl, indeed her hair was bleeding. "Oh My, Why
would Akane do that? It's not proper to hurt a guest." She said out loud. Picking up the first a first Aid
kit and when to Lorena and began treating the girl injuries. Thinking it was a bit strange that hair could
bleed, She found the hair thicker then normal human hair and it was also warm to the touch. Also she
noted that she seemed to have something on her back just beneath the back of her dress. And 2 slits
also ran down the back of the dress as well. Putting a finger in the slit in the dress revealed the feel of
soft feathers to Kasumi, 'Oh MY, she has wings.' She thought to herself knowing that it would not be
wise to say that out loud right now. Locking at the girl father she also spotted the slits on his shirt as
well.

Nodoka was angry, this Barbarian brought a weapon into the house. Noting that Soun had stopped his
Demon head technique and apologized for Akane's behavior. Noha then put the gun away.

Why did you bring such a dishonorable weapon in this house? Nodoka ask him. "It not polite to bring in
a weapon into some else home without preemption, she also stated. Which cause Noha to give her a
sight puzzled look to her. Also quickly looking at the sword at on her back

"I think I was quite justified in my diction in bring this side arm with me with the unjustified attack on my
daughter." he said to Nodoka. "Also this is a device is called a Sting - Stun gun. It does not have the
capacity to kill, unlike the sword on your back.

Nodoka was taken by Noha replay. She fidgeted with her sword for a second before realizing the
Noha was right. She had really lost face to this man by her own actions. She just said something to him
that she herself was doing. This was not going well at all. Though Noha and his daughter should only
have basic understanding of Japanese Customs. They were doing a better job at following them most
other gaijin she met. Noha was clearly following them better then they were. The constant excitement of
the Tendo home has seem to have made the family forget proper behavior in the house. Having a bad
feeling about what's going to happen, she tried to find a way for both families to save face and set things
back to the way they were before the two arrived. Then their dreams of joining the 2 families can come
true and her son could continue to be manly.

"I think there is a way we can solve this problem in a more civilized manner. A duel between you..."
began Nodoka but was intruded before she could finished

"Are you challenging me to a duel Miss Saotome?" Noha asked. "Well If you insist I think a warriors
duel would between us could be carried out in this Dojo. Noha said to her. "But I don't really need to
since legally I have all the information I need to prove that your clan is not honorably following the
contact between us." Noha informed Nodoka.

Everyone was shock at this. Genma was really sweating bullets now, him constantly telling Ranma that a
Saotome must by their Honor accept all duels or be disgraced was coming back to haunt him. The
timely intrusion had made it almost impossible for Nodoka to switch the duel to Ranma without losing
face. Noha could and probably would claim that Nodoka was not following her own stated could of
honor. Then Nodoka would have to escape the duel to save face. And Genma know that she was
technically stating she was a member of the Saotome school by wearing the family Honor blade right
now.

Nodoka was a little angry but most shocked at Noha maneuvering of the situation. Clearly this man was
a fast thinker. And Recognized as Genma had, that Noha just skillfully moved into a trap. If she tried to
switch the duel to Ranma she could be seen as violating the Saotome's family honor by trying to avoid a
duel as she was stating that she is the one carrying the family's ancestral blade.

Without think she quickly resorted to the line she used with all other claims. "The Tendo-Saotome
arrangement is the first and only true claim. All other arrangements made by my unfortunate husband
who lack of judgment are not valid." She quickly said. Using the same reasoning she used with the other
claims. If she said they were not valid, it would make them that way.

Nabiki after hearing this slapped her hand on here head. Nodoka had just state that the Saotome family
is in valuation of the contract. Things could not get any worst.

"Well then I just have to find Ranma unmanly for having to marry a girl that's not even a human," She
said while thinking that with this promise Noha would back down. Nodoka noted that he seem to like
Ranma as well, just didn't show is as open as his daughter. Soul mates or not she wouldn't let her
bloodline to be tainted by the girl.

"And what do you means by this, Mrs Saotome?." Noha asked her, wondering just what was going on.
He did not like what he was seeing. Ever since the short visit of the young Ranma to his home so many
years ago, he had came to like Ranma. Now all he is witnessing only strengthens his resolute to have
the young man to be remove from all of this and brought into a family where him can be himself. Noha
didn't like the way he had to do it. It felt like he was behaving in same way he saw these people
behaving. Using Ranma for their own ends. However he had no other way to give Ranma a chance live
his own life.

"My husband and Ranma signed a contact that he would raise Ranma to be a man among men. And if
he has to marry your daughter I will consider him unmanly. Ranma has to be manly and marry a Tendo
and his current fiancee Akane Tendo clearly understand honor better then your daughter does. I state
my Honor on it." She said not really thinking what she was doing. Just trying to find a way out of this
mess in a way she did not have to lose any face. Nodoka was using the last thing she could think of to
prevent what she consider a undesirable outcome.

"May I see this contract" Noha ask her." Wondering how this could be true. "I have it right here." Said
Nodoka taking out the contract and handing it to Noha.

After quickly reading the document. Noha face darken. "This is not a legally binding contract. There's
no Ranma's signature on this saying that he agrees." He claimed.

"Ranma did sign it along with my Husband. I am a witness to the fact". Nodoka replied. But already
knowing that Noha was right since she recently brought the document to a lawyer who told her the
same thing. And also the contact had no legal witness to it. Nodoka being the beneficiary to the contact
could not really claim to be a witness. Something she did realize that Noha would most likely know too.
"Genma was reasonable for making sure Ranma was raised with the knowledge of the contract." she
added.

"And did he?" asked Noha already guessing the answer.

"He did negated that duty but still Ranma is Honor bound to it." Nodoka this trying to win a losing
battle.

"Well then I challenge you to a duel of honor over the validity of this contract. It is my right since it's
being use over my claim which I have honorable maintained." Noha stated to her.

"No I will not allow it." Genma yelled out.

"Quiet Genma, I know what I am doing," Said Nodoka. Thinking she did have something in her favor.

"I accept your challenge, but on one condition. It will be fought with a civilized weapon, a sword."
Nodoka stated.. Nodoka only the most basic knowledge of the sword incase she had to fulfill the
contract. She knew that she wouldn't have a chance against someone who has knowledge of using a
sword but no way this alien would know of a sword. How could some alien who relies on technology
know of such a true weapon like a sword? Only a true person of honor would use such a weapon." she
thought to herself.

"But you don't understand dear, he is consider a "blade master" by the elves on his world." Genma let
out fearful for Nodoka's life. "He is also a master one of their most deadly techniques. Against you he
would have a easy victory." Genma informed her.

Everyone was shocked at this. They all knew that when it came to the art Genma knows what he was
taking about. The way he had said it made them believe that what he said is true. Also if Noha was as
good as Genma had said. This would be a fight that Nodoka had no hope of winning. Elves by legend
were supposed to have had a knowledge of the sword that surpass even the greatest of Samurai.

"What's that cheating alien freak doing? He is trying to be a perverted freak just like Ranma." Akane
yelled out. She had just regaining conscious in time to hear the challenge.

"Akane go to your room now." Soun said with a force he seldom used. With Nodoka betting her honor
that Akane could behave honorable in this situation. Thing could get ugly really fast if his daughter lost
her temper. It had gotten worse lately and she did just stain the family name with her attack on the girl.
With the way she was acting now, she could further ruin both families honor.

"But it's all the perverts fault, They would never come here if he was not unfaithful to me. Also that
dishonorable cheater should not be here. There's no way he could have hit me without cheating." She
yelled out in anger. Forgetting the fact she was attacking Lorena.

"And get way from the freak you bitch," She yelled at Lorena. "He belongs to me. But I fail to see why
I have to marry the pervert." she continued. The pain in her head was much worse now. She could only
think that by attacking Ranma and the girl this would make the pain go away.

"And if I ever see you again I will kill you. And Ranma too if I even catch him looking at you," Akane
said in her anger. Failing to realize she not only stained the Tendo's honor for a second time that day.
She also stained Nodoka's as well from her previous statement she made before Akane regained
conscious.

"Akane to your room, Now." Nodoka told Akane angrily. She was angry that Akane had stained her
honor further and also dare to state that Ranma belonged to her. They had barely got into the dojo
before Akane's latest out burst. "We will discuss your dishonorable behavior once this is over."

"But aunty is that per..." Akane tried to say in her defense but was cut off by Nodoka before she could
finish.

"No buts Akane, your room now." said Nodoka forcefully. Wishing that for once Akane could just stay
away. She watched as Akane left the room clearly in a anger state mumbling something. Then she
turned to Ranma. Lorena was still clinging to Ranma. And was visibly shacking in terror from the
display the Akane made. The girl was clearly frighten because of Akane. Her heart went out to the girl.
Nodoka thought that such a sweet innocent child really should not be exposed to what was happening
but with all that was going on was forcing her to withes such things.

Nodoka along with Nabiki did catch a short exchange between Father and daughter in a language they
did not recognize. After the exchange Lorena touch something beneath her dress and for a brief second
a faint light shimmer surrounded her. "A shield of some sort?" Nodoka thought to herself. If it was she
felt more comfortable the girl did have some protection just in case something else happened.

"Shall we continue?" Said Noha getting ready for the duel. Wanting to get this over as quickly as
possible. After picking one of the practice blades the Tendos had he begin to test it. Nodoka and he
rest of the family become very nervous at the way he was handing the blade. He clearly showed that he
know how to use it.

Ranma felt trapped with all that was going on. Watching his mother get involved in a duel she clearly
couldn't win, didn't sit well with him. He would rather fight the duel himself but Ranma knew that Honor
demanded him to not interfere.

Lorena sensing Ranma uneasiness asked her father not to hurt Nodoka. "She's just confused and
scared," she informed her father.

"I will try not to, dear. It would be a shame to harm such a lovely lady as her." Noha said with a warm
smile, which caused a small blush to come over Nodoka.

"He is manly." Nodoka thought to herself. Wishing that Genma were still manly like the time she caught
him peeping on her all those years ago. "Yes we should continue with this." accepting in the fact she
was going to lose. This way at least she could save face.

"No I forbid it. If their going to be a Duel and someone will die from it, It should be Ranma that is
killed, that what the boy is for." Genma let out afraid for his wife. The truth is he was more afraid that
his long laid plan for a comfortable life was going to be ruined. "If Ranma doesn't fight this duel he will
be tossed out of the clan." Genma then stated. If he was going to lose his life of luxery he wanted the
blame to fall on Ranma. He failed to realize that he just lost his honor by breaking the rule he selfishly
enforced on Ranma too many times. A Saotome must accept all challenges made to them or lost all
honor.

Genma cowered by the rage on Nodoka face, quickly figuring out his mistake but then went on the only
course of action he could think of in saving his own skin. "Ranma for failing to be Honorable in the face
of a threat to you mother. You are hereby no longer a Saotome, I have no son, and Nodoka if you
show any farther disrespect to me you will be tossed out as well. I am the Head of the clans and you
must do what I say without question.," Genma added, thinking it would be enough to save his own skin.

Nodoka was reliving her worst nightmare all over again. Her own family was all but tossed her out
upon learning of her marriage to Genma. They had tried to inform her that if it came to greed or honor.
Genma would choose greed. Something she denied saying that Genma was a very Honorable man.
And in the end went against her own family in marrying Genma. It was the main reason she was so hard
on Ranma about being honorable. However, Genma just prove that her family was right all along and
Honor was nothing but a word to her husband.

"Husband you dishonorable piece of trash. My family was right all along, you nothing but a
dishonorable coward. I demand you fulfill the seppuku contract to me right now." Nodoka said in a
rage she never knew before. Rasing her sword in ready to behead Genma.

Genma caught in fear was only saved by Akane choosing that moment to infixed her own brand of
justice to Ranma and Lorena for what happened to her earlier. Throwing a bucket of water on both of
them causing Ranma to change to his curse form. Lorena to let out a cry of shock and surprise causing
all eye's in the room to look at them.

"Look at the Perverted freak you've been engage to you slut" she screamed at Lorena. "See the Freak
as he really is."

Lorena and Noha what shocked at the change Ranma underwent. "A changeling?" Noha asked "Now
this is interesting," he added. While Lorena was just saying how complete the change was, by doing to
Ranma what so many others had done before. Testing to see if Ranma's female form breast were real.
She was actually gently touch them in a way that cause a blush and a slight moan from Ranma. Then to
the shock of the Tendo's and Saotome they saw her put her hand down Ranma's pants in a way that
cause a bigger blush and a lower moan to come from Ranma. For a moment they actually saw Ranma's
eye crossed.

"Its just Ranma, I don't mind that he's a girl right now." Lorena said after satisfying her self just how
complete the change was and went back to coddling up to Ranma resting her head on Ranma ample
bosom.

"You Perverts" Akane let out angrily as she began to advance on the two, but was stopped by
Nodoka's stern look.

And only Nabiki notice Noha get ready to do something if Akane attacked Lorena again.

"It's not really her fault daddy he got something bad in her mind that's making her do this." Lorena said
trying to tell her father something.

"You pervert!" Akane yell at the girl. Thinking she was referring to some of the dream she had she
always dreamt herself. In which she or Ranma where touched in a way Lorena just touched Ranma. "I
am going to kill you for thinking me as a pervert," Akane let out. Attacking the Girl with full intent on
killing her. Using a speed that caught everyone off guard. She slammed he mallet at Lorena's head
hitting a barrier with a loud crack. Her seconded blow hit Ranma in the arm as he tried to use is own
body to shield Lorena for Akane's onslaught.

"Your dare to try and interfere you perverted freak." Yelled Akane in a blind rage. "I will kill you too
for interfering." As she raised her mallet to kill both of them.

Before anyone could do, a low noise was heard as if something was going off. A flash of light was seen
and Akane fell lifelessly to the floor.

"Oh My! He Shot Akane" Kasumi let out not believing what she was seeing.

"You bastard!" Nabiki said in anger. Upset that Noha had just killed her youngest sister right in front of
her. She did not care that Noha was full justified in his actions. No one should dare try to harm her
family in front of her. And Nabiki was already starting a plan for revenge on him for killing Akane.

"You killed my baby girl." Soun yelled out watching his youngest daughter lying on the floor not moving.
He thought about attacking Noha for killing her but figured Noha would just shoot him as well. Noha,
to Soun was just as scary as the master was and the only thing he could think of doing now was crying.

"Whaaaaa, My baby girl is dead, whhaaaaaaa." He cried out in a shower of tears.

Nodoka, remembering what Noha had said earlier quickly check Akane and found her still breathing.
The girl was just unconscious just like Noha stated the gun he used would only do the worst to Akane.
"She still alive just unconscious. remembering what he told use about his gun." Said Nodoka, but
thought that Akane was going to wish that Noha had killed her with what was most likely in store for
her.

Noha was holding some sort of device over Akanes head. And Soun was afraid what Noha would try
to do to her. Although Akane just had totally shamed the Tendo name. She was still was his baby Girl.

"What are you doing to my daughter." Soun asked Noha, has he healed the device over Akanes head.

I am checking out why Lorena said about a bad thoughts in her head. I think she sensed something,"
Noha Informed Soun. After a few seconds he turned to the eldest Tendo with a concerned look.

"When was the last time your daughter have a medical checkup?" Noha ask him

"She was at Dr. tofu a few days ago, He the local chiropractor. He takes care of our medical needs."
Soun said, worried at what Noha what leading to. "Is there something wrong with Akane," Soun asked
getting more nervous.

"She has a tumor in her brain which is in the advanced stage of development. As far as I can tell, it is in
the area of the brain the controls reasoning and emotions. Noha explained. This earned a gasp from all
the people in the room. "Their also seem to be something aggravating it, But I can't tell with this for
certain. Noha continued.

"Why is that, Is something wrong with that device?" Nabiki ask. Wondering why he could not tell them
more.

"This is a tactical scanning device, not a medical one. Although I can tell some things with it, one that
been configured for magical purposes would clearly be better for this." Noha said. Something was
telling him that it's not just the tumor that was causing Akane's behavior. However, he needed a true
medical scanner to tell just what it was.

"Is their anything you can do for my daughter?" Soun asked Noha hoping that maybe he know of
something that could help Akane. He worst fears were coming true, as his late wife died from the very
same thing as Akane now had. He was told by the doctor after his wife death to have all his children
have a exam yearly for it since it was hereditary. However, his first visit there just reminded him on how
his wife died. After that, he never bring his daughter there again, thinking that if he just ignored the
problem it would just go away. "Can you also check my two other daughters please, I want to make
sure they're still alright and there's nothing wrong with them"

"I'll see what I can do but I can't promise anything," He told Soun. First he when to Nabiki and began
scan her. All the time Nabiki had a nerves look to her when he just said hmmmm.

"Let me guess you a junk food eater are you?" Noha ask her with a shy smile.

"How did you find out about that?" Nabiki was a little take by Noha knowing one of her favorite food.

"This the amount of preservation and other chemicals in your system, especially the ones most
commonly found in junk food." Noha informed Nabiki. "Other then that you in good health." He then
told her, petted her on the head fondly. "Nothing you need to worry about, but it still a good idea to get
checked up by a specialist."

Noha then went to Kasumi, giving the same treatment to her. The usual "Oh My" what heard a few time
as he move the device in his hand over her.

After Noha finished, he looked at Kasumi with a questionable look. "Oh MY what? You keep saying
that, I was just wondering what you where referring to?" Noha ask her.

"Oh My, well it's just....Oh My, no one ever ask that before, aahh well, its like..... I don't know."
Kasumi finally let out, looking a little sheepish. With a soft chuckle from the room

"You have a slight tumor in a different location, it is just in the early stages." He informed them.

"Whaaaa! Two of my girls are going to die. Waaa!," Soun cried out. Letting out another shower of
tears.

"Is there anything you can do?" Nabiki asked, hoping maybe Noha's people know of something that
could do to cure her sisters.

"Well the tumor can be remove easily but I think I am not permitted to share that information with your
medical community." Noha told them. He reminded them that he was not going to let a lot of his
technology from his home world become common knowledge here.

"Is there anything you can do" Nodoka asked. She had grown fond of the Tendo sisters and also hope
that something could be done to help them out.

"I will remove the Tendo claim and will support Lorena's and Ranma's reunion," Soun claimed, hoping
that would make Noha more likely to help Kasumi and Akane.

"But what about the promise to unite the schools, Soun." Genma asked seeing his dreams floating
further away. Also forgetting that by disowning Ranma, he had just destroyed his dream as well.

"But Akane's the only one how practice the Tendo Marital Arts any more." Soun informed. "besides
Akanes and Kasumi's life is at stake and he might be able to save them." Soun further explained to
Genma

"But you still have one daughter left that fine. She can marry Ranma. All is not lost if your other
daughters die. Nabiki is healthy so there's still one daughter left to uphold the promise." Genma explain,
showing what he was really thinking.

"Genma, that so rude of you, how could you say such thing." Nodoka holding onto her katana, showing
him how angry she was. That cause Genma to back against the wall visibly sweating.

"I will see if my sister can come over to help. If it done discreetly I think it can be done." Noha said. 'In
truth he was willing to help because to him it was the right thing to do. The thought using it to his
advantage would be violating his own belief but maybe this way some good could come from it.' Noha
thought to himself.

"How can you sister help Kasumi and Akane" Nodoka asked. Wondering how this man's sister could
help. "Maybe she a Doctor" she thought to herself

My sister is a Doctor and works in the best hospital where I am from. I am sure she will be able to help
them". Noha said confirming what Nodoka was thinking.

"Then it decided, Ranma and Lorena shall be engaged to marry. And Noha with the help of his Sister
will provide help for both the Tendo and Saotome families supporting the claim." Nodoka stated with a
quick look at Soun how noted his agreement at what she just said.

Nodoka was grateful that the duel was off. She know now she would lose badly if it was still on. This
way she could get out of it will still save face. Both family had been shamed and thoroughly dishonored
themselves to the Starliners earlier. By Honor Noha could demand a lot more. Things like taking both
families' Honor blades.

Genma was watching what just Happened in horror. All this hard work was being lost. "I deserve to
live off the boy for all I did for Him, And this is what that Disgrace does to me?" quickly thinking he
came up with a plan. It was risky but it just might work. And Genma already decided what he would
do if this last attempt failed.

"Nodoka I will not tolerate this disrespect to me from you and Ranma. If you and Ranma don't swear
that you'll obey me right now and have Ranma marry a Tendo. Both of you will be tossed out. I will no
longer tolerate the dishonorable disrespect to me. I am the head of the clan and you must obey me
without question." Genma yelled at his wife trying to show firmness will he was actually very afraid of
what would happen next.

"Dishonorable panda, you just showed that you're totally without Honor and you dare claim I am
without It. Fine, if you want it that way, I'm going to file for devoice you dishonorable piece of trash. At
least I am not some wanted criminal. Like you are." Nodoka said in a rage. She wanted to take care of
the evil in her family but it was not the time to do so.

Turning to Noha she apologized for the most recent display from her soon to be ex-husband.
Unfortunately, that was what Genma had being waiting for. Knowing this would be the only time to do
it, Genma charged at Nodoka and grabbed at her Kimono, ripping it open to get at the envelope
containing the fund Noha had sent her. Before Nodoka could react he threw her at Noha who quickly
caught her just like Genma had plan. He also grab Nodoka's sword and then slashed it at one person
he knew everyone would help out first so it will give him times to escape.

Kasumi let out a cry of pain as the sword hit her in the arm, cutting deep into it. It was then that Genma
made his escape. Using on of the sealed technique the ( ) to disappear from view. He did know that
Noha could still sense his present, "Damn him and his people ability to sense motion." He thought to
himself. He knew that he could Defeat Noha in a all out fight. But he was more afraid of his friends,
Tanis and Nime. And Genma was absolutely terrified of Tanis. If something happened to Noha, Genma
had a good idea that Tanis would be one of the first to come to see what happened to him. Genma
would rather be sealed in a cave with Happy and Cologne for a decade rather then meet that beast
again. And he totally believed that Nime would carry out her threat of using him as a scratching post. If
she learned of the Neko-ken. All it takes is for his weak willed son to look at her for Nime to realize
something was wrong. This was all the boy's fault for being so weak during the training in developing
the fear of cats of his.

Genma knew he had to get out of Tokyo as soon as he could. He needed to get this check cash and
leave Japan as soon as possible. At lest with the check he could still mange to retire to an easy life even
when he know it will have to be in a different Country.

Genma then continued to the nearest branch of the bank he knew Nodoka kept her accounts, although
he did stop at a pawnshop along the way after stealing Nodoka's blade.

Back at the Tendo home, Kasumi holding onto her bleeding arm with tears in her eye's. She was
wondered why Genma attacked her with a sword. Nabiki quickly went to the phone and called doctor
Tofu.

Soun tries to stop the bleeding. He looked at Ranma wondering why he didn't do anything to stop
Genma. He saw that Lorena had a death grip on Ranma. From the color the poor boy was turning into
she must be strong. The last time Ranma looked like that was when Ryoga was giving him a bear hug in
their last duel. If the girls was anywhere near as strong as Ryoga, he doubted that Ranma could away
from the girl even if he wanted to.

Nodoka was trying to cover herself with her now ruined kimono. She was thankful that Noha caught
her before she was injured, but her attention was currently on Kasumi who was injured. The next time
she meet Genma, she will kill him, a thought that almost everyone in the room shared.

Afer Noha put Nodoka down, He moved to Kasumi getting something out from under his vest and
began to work on Kasumi's arm.

"What are you using on her?" he Soun asked.

"It a Combat Med Kit, I got into the habit of carrying one on me at all times," Noha said using a spray
on Kasumi arm. The bleeding stop almost immediately after the spray. Then he used a strange device
on Kasumi's Arm "It just a mild sedative, It will help the pain." Explain Noha.

By the time he was done, Tofu had arrived. Fighting off the silliness that tended to come over him in the
present of Kasumi, he starts to examine her. However he seems to be failing as his glasses started to
fog up.

Noha seeing Tofu's reaction to a second to figure out what was happening to him. He then took off his
watch and handed it to Tofu. "Here wear this, It will help your concentration." he told Tofu.

Tofu put on the watch, then almost tore it off. It was giving off something that was quite uncomfortable,
almost painful. Wondering why this man was wearing such a device he quickly looked at the man's
aura. He was a little shock at what he found. 'This mans a alien.' Although the man had an aura of a
warrior in him, he also had a dormant one as well. Its like there's two different instinct about him. One
of them, The dormant one had an innocents feel to it which are similar to Kasumi's, Also seem to have a
scent of sensuality to it. But it was clear to him that the Warrior like Aura was dominant in the man

Then Tofu looked at the girl that was with Ranma. He is not surprise to see that the girl's aura was of
the same the man. However, her auras seem to be the opposite of the man. She had an aura of innocent
to her that almost rivaled Kasumi's. The sensuality scents seem to be a lot stronger in her too. 'The girl
also have a strong warrior scent but she would need a lot of training to let that side of her out.' He
thought to himself

He then realize that they did have 2 sets of instinct, with one dominate most of the time. 'Guess only one
could be in control at a time'. The sensuality of the girl made him think of an angelic Nymph. It almost
turned him into a fit of silliness if the watch didn't send a pulse of pain through is rest. Preventing him
from losing control.

After finish looking at Kasumi's arm, Tofu turned to Nodoka. "Who treated the arm. It is a very good
work. There's no bleeding now and the injury is beginning to heal already. Normally a cut this deep
would require stitches but I think all that needs to be done now is to place a brace on the arm to
immobilize it. Also, she would need to take it easy and have a rest for a few days to allow it to heal."

The whole family was grateful for the news. Nodoka still kept her ripped Kimono closed as she moved
over to them. "Mr Starliner treated Kasumi with a medical kit of his." she informed Tofu. "I can spend
some time here to allow Kasumi's arm to heal, as for the chores around the house I'll cover it until she
gets better."

"Also, Ranma should stay over at Starliner house." Nodoka said thinking it would be best for Ranma to
get out of the house before Akane woke up. "Ranma, why don't you go and get your things ready. It's
only proper you stay with your fiancee," she told her son.

"I already have his backpack right here Aunty. I got it when I went through Genma's things trying to find
out where he might have gone," Nabiki said. She was going to make Genma Pay for what he just did to
her sister. She had guess that Ranma would be leaving with the Starliners so she took Ranma's
belongings as well.

"That is very thoughtful of you Nabiki," Nodoka said to her, then walked up to Noha. "Please take care
of my son and make sure he keeps up his training."

When she was near Noha she ended up accidentally tripping herself. Noha caught her and helped he
up. However, one of his hands accidentally glomped onto one of her breasts. Her first reaction was
slapping him, a stray thought on how her action would seem similar to how Akane would react when
helped stopped her. Another reason is because the gentle squish and soft caress his hand were sending
shiver down her spine. Genma touches was never this pleasurable. With a blush on a face and a stifled
moan, she look at Noha.

It took a second for Noha to realize just where his hand was before he removed them and quickly
apologize to her. Nodoka was taken that Noha actually was unaware of just what his hand wore doing.
"He is so manly" she thought thinking that if this is what the touch was like when he did it by accident,
then how would it feel if he touch her like a man who touches a real women. Nodoka felt very warm all
of a sudden with the thought of getting to know Noha better in a more personal way. She found herself
not minding to become a mistress to such a manly man if he turned out to still be married.

After gathering all his belongings Ranma and the Starliner's left Tendo home. Ranma walked along with
them in a solemn mood. His life was again decided for him without his approval. It was so unfair. Today
he lost a fiancee and at the same time, gained another one. The way Lorena was holding his hand was
new to Ranma as well. Lorena in a way was his first fiancee but so far she haven't demand anything
other than saying hi. She also seem contented just staying with him. The only this that made Ranma a
little uneasy was she was also the first girl he seem to had a desire for. Its nothing like the boys in school
seemed to have but it was still sexual by nature. Ranma didn't know that it was Lorena's Avatron gifted
tend to have a aura of sexuality around them. Being nearly as innocent like Kasumi, Ranma was a little
confused as to why he would have such feeling.

"Is there anything wrong Ranma, you seem to lost yourself in thought." Noha ask Ranma.

"Its nothing, I'm just thinking." Ranma said, trying to avoid the subject.

"You can speak frankly Ranma, actually I would prefer that you were honest." Noha informed him.

"It's just that I never ask for any of this. I never chose to have any fiancee right now." Ranma told Noha
wondering if he would ever have a life of his own.

"I make a deal with you then, when you finish school and college, making sure you try your best effort
in your studies. I will leave the choice if you want Lorena marrying you. All I want to ask is that you try
and make your relationship work out." Noha said to him.

"But I am a martial artist why do I need to go to college for? It not like I am going to need it." Ranma
said, not liking the idea.

"To put it simply, I want you to be the best you can be Ranma. A good education will help you to be
just that." Noha said "You're not afraid that you'll not do well in school are you?" he ask him smirking
all the while.

"I am not afraid of anything and I will meet your challenge." Ranma said, a little angry that someone
would dare to call him a coward. "What I want to know is, what will I get out of this once I meet you
challenge?" Ranma then asked Noha.

"That is all part of the challenge Ranma," Noha told him. "What you can get out of it can only be found
by yourself." He then said with a smile.

After that, they continued down the street in silence. Ranma then thought that his new life will going to
be very different from what he was use to. Guess it's going to be a very interesting time for them. He
just wonder what the future had in store for them especially after his other so called fiancee found out
about Lorena. He hoped that they would be able to come out alive. Things are defiantly going to
change with Noha and Lorena where around.
