Red String of Fate

this fanfic.
Part one
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" asked Kasumi, looking at the red
string in the box. It was supposed to fix the biggest problem in her family, that
being Ranma and Akane's engagement. Kasumi however had never tried anything
like this.
"Yes, this plan can not fail."
"I-I don't know, it just seems..."
"All you have to do is give the string to Ranma and make sure he hand's
it to Akane. They'll want to wed by the end of the day."
"But if Ranma finds out..." Kasumi was very unsure. The whole plan seemed
kind of underhanded. The eldest Tendo girl knew she was one of the few people
Ranma trusted and she didn't know what would happen if he found out that she
had set him up.
"Don't worry he won't. Not at least until after. By then he'll be
thanking you."
"Umm ok...I'll do it." Said Kasumi, still rather unsure.
A little later Ranma was coming down the stairs, when he noticed Kasumi
waiting at the bottom. In her gloved hands was a length of red string. "Hey,
Kasumi."
"Hello Ranma, can you give this string to Akane? She's outside knitting."
"Ah sure. What's with the gloves?"
"Oh I'm about to do the dishes."
"Ok, see ya," said Ranma walking outside to where Akane was. The youngest
Tendo wasn't having much luck knitting. She was trying to knit a sweater,
however much like her cooking it was looking like anything but a sweater. Akane
was steadily getting more frustrated as things weren't going her way. This in
turn was making her angry.
"Jeez Akane, what are you tearing apart now?" Ranma couldn't see what
girl's saw in this sort of stuff. He had done sowing himself, mostly fixing his
cloths. Ranma had learned that sowing anything by hand was long, boring, and
tedious work.
"Shut up Ranma. I don't need your help," growled Akane. Knowing Ranma he
probably thought he was better at this than she was. Akane's anger started to
boil. Ranma always acted as it he was better than her in everything.
"What's with you?" asked Ranma as he held the red string out. "Here.
Kas..."
"I said I don't need your help!" yelled Akane as she pulled out her
mallet and hit Ranma in the face. This sent the pig-tailed boy (and the string)
flying. Putting her hammer away, Akane stormed into the house. As she entered the
living room she didn't noticed the worried look on her sister's face.
Three months later...
Belldandy came out of the portal in the mirror at her home. She hoped
that Keiichi was all right. Belldandy and both her sisters had been called away
for a debugging job and it had taken more time than expected. Stepping into the
living room, the goddess stopped. Both Skuld and Urd were there looking at
the mess. The place looked as if in hadn't been cleaned in months. All around
there was empty instant food containers, dirty laundry, and newspapers. Suddenly
Keiichi burst into the room.
"Oh thank God." Cried K1 as he rushed over and hugged Belldandy.
Belldandy was a bit surprised when he started crying. "You're finally back."
Skuld glared at the college student. How dare he leave such a mess for
her oniichan to clean up? Urd just shook her head. {You just can't live without
her, can you?}
"Keiichi?" Belldandy blinked when he looked up at her. His frantic face
was looked full of worry.
"Please, you've got to help me find Megumi!"
All three of the goddesses blinked. "Huh?"
A short while later, all four were sitting at the table drinking some tea
Belldandy had quickly made. Keiichi had calmed down somewhat and was relating
what had been going on since the goddesses had left.
"So Keiichi, how long has Megumi been missing?" asked Belldandy.
"Since you left."
"Wait a minute," said Urd. "That was three months ago!"
"You think I don't know that!" yelled Keiichi. He then calmed down. "I'm
sorry. Its just that..."
"I know," said Urd. Megumi was a constant source of tension and was
sometimes considered a nuisance, but Keiichi loved his sister and was now truly
worried about her.
"At first I thought she went somewhere for spring break. But then a week
after spring break her teachers started to call and said she hadn't reported
back for class."
"Did you check her apartment?"
Keiichi nodded, "The only thing I found out was that someone had mailed a
large amount of money to the landlady. Enough to pay the rent for several
months."
"Where was the money mailed from?" asked Skuld as she typed on her
laptop.
"From Osaka. A few others and me all ready went down there, but we didn't
find anything. Do you think Mara..."
Urd shook her head. "I don't think so. Although she's the usual suspect
on stuff like this; if she wanted to take advantage of us not being here she
would have taken you. Besides, even if she did kidnap your sister, why would she
go through the trouble of paying Megumi's rent?"
"I found her!" yelled Skuld, who was quickly surrounded by the others.
"How did you find her?" asked Keiichi.
"I used GA-19."
"GA-19?"
"Guardian Angel-19," explained Belldandy. "Its one of heaven's
surveillance satellites that we use to monitor Midgard. This definitely rules out Mara."
"Why's that?"
"Because," Urd continued for her sister. "Demon Central knows about these
satellites and can jam or hid from them. Mara wouldn't let on of these
satellites track her."
"So where is he Skuld?" asked Belldandy.
"According to this, Guam." Answered the norn of the future.
"Guam? What's she doing there?"
"Only one way to find out," said Urd. "Ready to take a little trip?"
Keiichi and the others nodded.
Guam...
Urd popped out of the TV set carrying K1. Fortunately no one was around
to see this. Nor was there anyone to see Belldandy come out of a mirror in the
bathroom or Skuld pop out of an ice bucket.
"C-C-Cold!"
"Let's get out of here." Said the goddess of the past. Quickly sneaking
out of the hotel room, the four started heading to where GA-19 said Megumi was.
Sure enough, there on the beach in a one piece swimsuit was Keiichi's
sister. She was not tied down like some had expected and in fact looked quit
relaxed.
"Megumi!"
Megumi removed her shades and blinked. "Keiichi, what are you doing
here?"
"What am I doing here? What are you doing here!?"
"Oh I've been swimming, racing," Megumi then blushed. "and doing other
things."
"Megumi, you just disappeared. Everyone's been worried about you," said
Keiichi.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I did leave kind of suddenly didn't I? I've been having
so much fun I forgot to tell anyone."
Keiichi and the others just stared at her until they heard a voice from
the side. "Hey Gumi, I got the ice cream. Is there a problem here?"
Keiichi and the goddesses turned to see a boy holding two ice cream cones
and looking at them warily. The boy looked to be Megumi's age maybe a bit
younger and was very well built. Keiichi hoped there wasn't going to be any
trouble. It wasn't good for the goddesses to use their powers in such a public
place and he didn't know if he could handle this guy.
"Oh thank you dear," said Megumi as she rushed up and grabbed one of the
cones. "I guess some introductions are in order. Honey, this is my big brother
Keiichi, his girlfriend Belldandy, and her sisters Urd and Skuld.
Much to Keiichi's relief, the boy seemed to relax some. Megumi then
continued, "Guys this is Ranma, my husband."
Ladies and gentlemen we have just lost cabin pressure.
