Ranma Meets the Avatron's part 3
Proofread by Wray Loflin

Dawn had come to Nerima and Ranma was just waking up 
from a restful night sleep. Something Ranma was not all to 
use to with his father's loud snoring and frequent nightmares. 
Or the occasional late night attack by one of his rivals. 
Wondering why his father had not gotten him up yet for the 
morning training like he usually did. It took Ranma a few 
seconds to remember the previous day's events. Looking at 
the ceiling Ranma realized where he was. He was at the 
Starliner home that they bought here. It was almost as large 
as the Kuno estate in size, wondering why they got such a 
large house Noha simply answered that he had a large 
extended family. If he and Lorena were going to stay here for 
a while, he wanted a lot of room for any other family members 
that came to visit them. Hearing that Ranma just wondered 
just how large the Starliner family was.

Then when Ranma was looking around the house got the 
scare of his life. Since the Neko-ken training he had an 
uncontrollable fear of cats. He came across one the size of a 
medium size dog. After just taking one look at it he freaked 
and ran away from it as fast as he could. Leaving a Ranma 
shaped hole in the wall. He wanted to be as far away as he 
could from the beast. 

After calming down and meeting back up with Noha and 
Lorena. He then learned that the large cat was a type of pet. 
He had to explain the Neko-ken training to them. Noha said 
the cat was a Cartail, a cat common on their home world and 
was similar to domestic cats on earth. Then Lorena added 
how Ranma would react to Tanis and Nime when he met 
them again. Ranma was terrified at learning that there were 
some giant humanoid cats waiting to meet him. But then 
Noha said he might be able to help with his fear with them. 
When Ranma asked how Noha had said to him they would try 
and place a post hypnotic suggestion to him so he would not 
see them as cats. Instead he would most likely only see them 
as strange looking people. And tend to see Cartail more like a 
strange dog than a cat. Fooling his fear into thinking they 
were something else. It was not a cure, but it would help him 
deal with meeting them without freaking out again.

As Ranma thought of the events of last night, he noticed that 
he was not alone in the futon. "Not again," thinking to himself. 
Looking under the covers he found Lorena sleeping next to 
him. "Strange I never sensed her coming into the room last 
night," he thought to himself. Then he noticed that she wasn't 
wearing anything. That almost caused him to bolt out of the 
futon when he saw the wings on her back. However he 
noticed that they were different from the phoenix people he 
had encountered. Instead of eagle like wings, Lorena's were 
shaped more like a dove's wing. Ranma's sudden movement 
caused Lorena to stir and bring her body closer to him giving 
him an eyeful at of her body. 

Feeling the start of a nosebleed, like the time he felt when 
Shampoo snuck into his room when she first came to Nerima. 
He almost expected Akane to barge in and douse them with 
water, calling him a pervert or something. He then had a 
small nosebleed as he remembered what Lorena did when 
she learnt of his curse. Lorena didn't seem to mind at all. He 
never realized his female form could have such sensations 
from just a person's touch. People had touched him in his girl 
form before but it always felt foreign to him. Lorena's touch 
not only felt right was also quite pleasurable as well. It did 
scare him that her touch felt like that to him, but at the same 
time was comforting to know the she would accept him for 
himself no matter what form he was in. To Lorena he was just 
Ranma no matter if he was a girl or a boy.

Ranma was also wondering what this bond was all about. 
With all the excitement the other day he didn't get around to 
asking Noha about it. If the bond was like being a soulmate 
he once heard about. It pretty much meant that he was all but 
married to Lorena already. If that was true why did Noha give 
him a choice in marrying her? "Maybe there is more to it then 
just being soulmates," Ranma thought to himself. Though if 
marriage was anything like it was now, having Lorena in his 
arms while she sleeps like this, he really didn't mind.

Looking at the sleeping girl in his arms brought a warm smile 
to him. Lorena was currently sucking her thumb while she's 
sleeping. Giving her a more childlike apparent. He sensed 
from her a warm contented feeling. He had already learned to 
use the link they had really helped him in stopping the foot in 
mouth behavior of his. He could now feel from Lorena when 
he said something stupid that ended up hurting her feelings. 
Like on the way to the Starliner's house, Lorena had asked 
him if he loved her. He immediately did what he always did 
and denied it. That caused Lorena to become upset and sad, 
"Do you even like me, Ranma? She asked. Ranma feeling 
Lorena being upset and sad tried to say something to cheer 
her up. But he was failing} miserably like he usually did. 
Stopping for a bit when he realized all he was doing was 
confusing her. Then thought to himself what his feelings 
about Lorena were. Instantly Lorena had a bright smile on her 
face. "You do love me." Then gave him a hug. "I did not say 
that" Ranma said falling into old habits. Lorena sensing what 
Ranma was feeling said to him "We're not mates yet but you 
still have some love for me. "What if we don't become mates," 
Ranma said without thinking. He almost felt like slapping 
himself for saying it before thinking. "We will still have what 
we have right now, I would like to be mates someday, but at 
least we will still be friends," Lorena told Ranma.

Ranma was surprised by her answer, she just told him. She 
just said that no matter what happened they would always be 
friends. No other person had ever said that to him and meant 
it. Akane said she wanted to be his friend, but that was when 
he was in his girl from. When she found out he was really a 
boy, All she seemed to think of him was a pervert like all the 
other boys his age. After that things seemed to get worse and 
Akane never did treat him like she did when they first met. 
Then there was Ukyo; she was considered his best friend. 
Although even all he really thought of her was as his best 
friend. All she kept saying was how she was Ranma's cute 
fiancee. He did hear her say how she knew that he loved her. 
But how could he say something if he did not even know what 
love was. Ranma also thought of Ukyo as being his oldest 
friend. In the end she was just like all the other fiancees. 
Quickly pointing out that honor demanded that he must marry 
her. The last thing that had shown him just how much she 
was just like all the other ones was the wedding incident 
when she and Shampoo showed up with their surprises.

Next was Shampoo, by Shampoo`s village laws Ranma was 
now considered her husband, by defeating her in a fight. The 
first time was when he was a girl during the Joketsuzoku 
Village tournament. For which he received} the kiss of death. 
Ranma then learned the first of the outsider laws. If an 
outsider girl defeated an Amazon, said Amazon must chase 
that outsider to the ends of the Earth and kill them. Shampoo 
even chased them all over China and then to Nerima. Then at 
the Tendo home he had inadvertently defeated Shampoo a 
second time while protecting Akane from Shampoo. Then she 
gave him the kiss of marriage. Learning the second part of 
her village laws. If an Outsider male defeats an Amazon she 
must marry him. What worried Ranma the most was 
Shampoo`s lines of Obstacles are for killing. He did not think 
she had actually killed anyone yet. But he did have a idea that 
most likely what held her back from carrying out that threat 
was mainly if she did try, the reprisals of such action to her 
would be quite severe. But Lorena being an alien just might 
be reason enough for Shampoo to try and actually carry out 
that threat. Especially with Lorena not knowing how to defend 
herself.

Lastly there was Kodachi, She was the one Ranma was most 
worried about. Although she was not a true fiancee Kodachi 
simple appointed herself as one. She thought that simply 
being a Kuno meant she was above everyone in social status. 
Her and her brother constantly stated how that they where 
descended from Nobility and Samurai blue blood which 
meant that all others in Nerima were just mere peasants to 
them, And beneath them in social status. Ranma was also 
convinced that all of the Kuno families were insane. The only 
thing that kept them out of the loonybin was the Kuno fortune. 
Through prior experience Ranma was certain that even 
though Lorena was not a martial artist, she would just twist 
honor around in her insane logic she used and attacks Lorena 
anyway. If Kodachi followed her usual MO., and attack at 
night sneaking in Lorena's rooms she would most like end up 
seriously hurting Lorena. Ranma also thought the way Noha 
protected his daughter Kodachi would most likely leave in a 
body bag if she ever managed to do it.

Ranma as of right now did not want to discuss with Noha how 
he felt of his other fiancees. Thinking that Noha would just 
move all of them back to New Avatron if he voiced his 
concerns. Noha was overprotective of Lorena and Ranma 
was certain if he told him what he felt he would definitely think 
it was too dangerous for her. So Ranma thinking he could 
protect Lorena with Noha's help decided for right now he 
would keep his feelings to himself. 

Right now he just looked at Lorena as she slept in his arms. 
Still a little uncomfortable at Lorena not having any clothes 
on, but not as troubling to him as the last time Shampoo 
snuck in his room with him waking up to a similar situation. 
Mainly because while Shampoo came to try and seduce him, 
Lorena just came in to be with him.

Ranma stroked her hair while Lorena had her head on his 
chest. He watched as she ruffled her wings in her sleep, and 
was currently softly sucking on her thumb. Ranma blushed as 
he looked at her body, Lorena had an innocent beauty to her 
and because of her lack of dress, and Ranma could not help 
but notice that she was to all extent a young woman with a 
fully developed body. He would not mind her sleeping like this 
if she at least had some pajamas on. He was really glad that 
Akane was not around right now. Not for getting malleted into 
l.e.o. That she would do if she saw this. More it was she 
would end up disturbing Lorena and causing her to wake up 
to an unpleasant scene. Ranma just hoped that Akane would 
not try and get back at Lorena for her own dishonorable 
behavior the previous day. Akane tended to blame others for 
her own fault. A behavior Ranma had the bruises from, and 
ruin her chances to get her tumor cured. Although Akane had 
ruined any feelings of love Ranma might have for her, he still 
cared for Akane and hoped that Noha could help her.

The thing that really had Ranma worried was what Noha said 
that something was making the tumor worse. Akane's aura 
was that of a healthy young woman and showed no sign of 
anything wrong. With the stage of the tumor that Noha said it 
was at Akane's aura should have shown signs of it. Tofu 
definitely should have sensed it. After Noha revealed that, 
Ranma checked Akane's aura closely. What Ranma found 
was very disturbing to him. Whatever it was, it was masking 
her aura so well as to make it appear to be normal. Hiding 
Akane's true aura. There were only two persons in Nerima 
that knew about enchanted herbs that could change or mask 
a person's aura. Ranma knew them both and pretty much 
knew who it was. He was planning in the next few days to 
confront the person with his suspicions. He definitely wanted 
to check up on his suspicions before hand. Because if they 
turned out to be true he wanted to handle it before that 
person could threaten Lorena.

Stroking Lorena's hair a little Ranma was still a little 
surprised} how warm to the touch it was. Seeing how her hair 
was alive and had small blood vessels in it. Gave it a warmer 
feel to it than human hair. While stroking her hair Ranma got 
a good look at her ears. They were actually pointed just like 
an elf's would be. "Are the Avatron's actually the race the 
legends about elves came from?" Ranma thought to himself. 
The claws on her feet he almost missed if Lorena's foot had 
not brushed against his leg. Although the claws on Lorena's 
feet were retracted into her toes Ranma felt they were not all 
that sharp. Actually they felt dull. Like an animal's claws that 
were mostly used in climbing rock. Which was possible 
considering that Avatron's had wings. Which meant they 
could most likely fly as well.

"Ouch" said Ranma as he felt something prick his fingers. 
Looking at his hand he saw a long thin quill stuck in his finger. 
His hand was becoming numb. Ranma could quickly tell that 
he was in no danger; just that whatever was in the quill would 
just make his hand a little numb. It felt like his hand was 
asleep and that it was just waking up. This would be scary if 
not for the fact that Noha said to him. Ranma thought to 
himself, The Avatron's might be a peaceful race, which 
according to Noha had no hostile intentions. Ranma felt no 
deception from Noha when he told him that, but physically 
they were a very dangerous and deadly race. Realizing how 
probably the quill came off Lorena's scalp he thought that if 
she used her hair as a whip she could then fling the quills like 
a dart. Whatever was in the quills would then cause paralysis 
in most that would be hit by it. Ranma wrapped the quill in a 
handkerchief to give to Tofu. Before teaching Lorena how to 
use her hair that way to defend herself, he wanted to see that 
such a tactic would be safe to a normal person. Plus remind 
himself to only stroke Lorena's hair downward as to not 
disturb her quills.

Ranma was a little relieved that Lorena had the ability to 
defend herself. Now the problem was in actually training her 
and get her to use it. She was just too gentle for her own 
good and she was too easy to frighten. Ranma hoped he 
could protect Lorena and was confident that he could. But the 
more Lorena could defend herself would make him felt more 
at ease. Lorena had wanted to be his friend foremost and his 
fiancee second. The simple fact that she accepted him for 
himself something so far only she and Noha had seemingly 
done so far. If Lorena was going to be a real friend Ranma 
was going to do everything in his power to protect her.

Ranma was so lost in thought he did not hear the knock at the 
door. After a few seconds Noha entered the room. Seeing 
that Ranma was awake Noha just smiled when he saw his 
daughter was sleeping with him. "Time to get up you two. 
Breakfast will be ready in a little while, and it's almost time for 
Ranma to go to school." Noha said to them.

Lorena woke up to her father's voice, opened her eyes and 
looked at Ranma with a smile. "Morning Ranma" Lorena said 
with a smile giving him a kiss on the cheek. To Ranma's 
shock she sat up and stretched her body out spreading her 
wings as she put her arms over her head while stretching the 
nights sleep from her. Which gave Ranma a full view of her 
body. Ranma's eyes almost popped out of his head, a trail of 
blood fell from his nose. Lorena was beautiful and Ranma 
was definitely attracted to how Lorena was innocently 
displaying herself. To Ranma, Lorena's display made her look 
like some exotic angel.

Ranma quickly become nervous that Noha was seeing him 
looking at Lorena's naked body and was a little fearful on how 
Noha would react to it. "It's not what it looks like" he nervously 
told Noha "I can explain" he added.

"That Lorena came in here last night while you were sleeping 
deciding she wanted to sleep with you for the night, and is 
currently stretching out in front of you in the nude after she 
woke up," Noha said to Ranma sensing his nervousness.

Ranma was a little surprised at Noha's comment, with a 
sweat drop formed on the back of his head. Noha also 
seemed not mind that Lorena was totally naked in front of 
him. With an even bigger blush he then noticed what Lorena's 
hair color would be if it was like normal human hair. It seemed 
a certain spot was more normal, a nice Blonde patch of hair 
caught Ranma's eyes. It figured that she was a blonde. Not 
from the stereotype that blondes were dumb and seemingly 
oblivious to things around them, but because Avatron's seem 
to be an opposite of such things. Meaning that as far as 
Ranma could tell Lorena was a lot smarter than her behavior 
seemed to make her out to be. He just wished that Lorena's 
current position gave him a nice view of that blonde patch of 
hair and what lay beneath it.

Noha then watched as a trail of blood ran down from Ranma's 
nose. Lorena seeing the blood got a keenness and bent over 
and began clean the blood from his nose, which unfortunately 
for Ranma gave him a better look at Lorena's nude body 
which caused more blood to flow from his nose.

"Are you ok, Ranma? Are you getting a cold?" Lorena asked 
Ranma concern look on her face. Lorena then placed her 
hand on Ranma's head. You don't feel like you have a fever 
Ranma. She said then taking Ranma's head she then placed 
it in her bosom hugging him while resting her cheek to his.

Ranma's pigtail shot straight out a good lick at Lorena's 
breasts. He was fearful how Noha would take this and pretty 
much expected Lorena's father to do something to him for 
being in a compromising position. "I hope Noha does not blow 
up to much and gives me the chance to explain this" Ranma 
thought to himself. 

"Lorena, Ranma is fine, I think that this is a little new to him, 
remember that humans have different customs than we do. 
Noha informed his daughter. Lorena relieved that Ranma was 
ok let him go and sat back up. She then gave Ranma a warm 
smile. Ranma, why don't you go take a bath and relax before 
breakfast, It should be ready by the time your done". Noha 
told them.

Lorena then stood up and grabbed Ranma's arm pulling him 
up on his feet "Lets take a bath together" she said almost 
dragging Ranma with her. Noha heard a faint "help" from 
Ranma, as Lorena seemed to drag him from the room and 
down the hall to the bath. "I need to have a talk with her 
before she gives Ranma too much of a shock," Noha thought 
to himself, heading back to the kitchen to finish breakfast.

After getting into the kitchen and getting back to work on 
finishing breakfast. Noha then heard a shriek from Ranma-
chan and a giggle from his daughter. "Looks like both of them 
made it into the bath". Noha thought to himself. He hoped 
Lorena would go a little easier on Ranma. He knew through 
experience that Avatron's life and customs could be 
intimidating to someone new to them. Ranma simply from 
what he could tell had not been in an environment where he 
did not need to be on his guard all the time. Or one that had 
people that wanted him to be himself and not try to make him 
be what they wanted him to be.

Noha remembered back to when he first met Ranma and his 
father. Genma not realizing that he had wandered into an 
alien world. Genma let his greed get the better of him. He 
sent Ranma to steal some gold from a mansion they had 
come across, which happened to be where he and his family 
lived. It was Nime that found Ranma as he made is way 
through the large yard they had. Ranma was first frightened 
of Nime, but tried to put up a brave front. The young Ranma's 
charms that only made Nime more attached to him. Soon 
they were playing in the yard while Tanis confronted Genma. 
Just one look at Tanis caused Genma to run for the hills for a 
couple of days. Nime then took the young Ranma and for all 
particular purposes adopted Ranma as her own. During the 
few days that Genma had stayed away in hiding, Nime had 
become a surrogate mother to Ranma. It was a funny sight to 
see just how much the young five-year-old Ranma had so 
charmed Nime. She went so far as to even nurse Ranma 
while he slept in her arms. Even though the five-year-old 
Ranma was about the same size as one of Nime's young 
cubs that were still of the nursing age. She still tended to treat 
other children of that size, as she would treat her own cubs. 

"Well that not all that true" Noha thought to himself she even 
did the same thing to him when she got in that playfully 
motherly mood with him. Being bonded to her was always 
interesting. Noha with a smile remembered when they first 
met all those years ago. Both Tanis and Nime had wandered 
through one of the more random portals that formed on New 
Avatron. Noha was one of the firsts on the scene with the 
reports of a large humanoid cat being seen. One that was 
definitely a pretty was wandering around the suburbs of a 
large city, and that some livestock in the area was already 
taken from some of the farms. Mostly large grazing animals 
The Avatron authorities hastily began to search for them and 
anymore that might have wandered through the portal before 
it closed. 

Upon meeting Nime for the first time she literally backhanded 
him through a tree. After checking him out began circling him 
just little distance from him. Noha at first was a little lost at her 
behavior to him, Noha knew he had no chance against her 
unarmed and with that backhand of hers, he lost his sidearm. 
Although Noha doubted that just a sidearm would help him at 
all against her. It was during that time Noha had picked up a 
musky scent from her. Noha then quickly realized she was in 
heat and was a little confused as to if Noha was her prey or a 
potential mate. Noha then realized that his life was on the line 
to which one she decided on. Prey or a potential mate. So 
Noha let his gifted side out and went to work on showing her 
he was definitely a potential mate. Which during that time he 
bonded with her. Since then she was one playful kitty anytime 
they were together. Their sharing (lovemaking) was always 
interesting.

When Tanis was found Noha's sister Sara decided Noha was 
not going to have all the fun and volunteered to as she put it, 
to calm down the male one. Or any female she could come 
across if she could. Two days later she brought Tanis home 
with a very satisfied grin on her face. By that time Noha had 
learned their language from Nime. Tanis and Nime were 
already were mates before they happened to wander through 
the portal and were the alpha`s of their pride. After that both 
had helped rounding up all of their race that happened to 
wander to New Avatron. Tanis turned out to be the wildest of 
the bunch and Tanis and Nime decision to join the Avatron 
Police force just tended to prove it. It took a lot of explaining 
to teach both of them that you don't eat the criminals, you 
arrest them was one of the hardest things Noha had to make 
them learn. Although the first few cases they were on where 
that happened did cause crime in the offworld section of the 
City to take a nosedive. The few criminals that remained were 
rarely that stupid enough to try and find out if it was still true 
or not. Strangely the only one that Tanis listened to without 
question was Noha`s own mother Salena. She took it on 
herself to teach him proper behavior. Seeing her for the first 
time leading Tanis by the ear when he did something wrong 
was just too comical.  A barely five-foot Avatron woman 
leading a twelve-foot Tanis by the ear was a sore sight to see. 
Then Tanis decided to do something that later turned out on 
his part to be one of the biggest mistakes he had made so far. 
Deciding that he was going to show her that he was a adult 
male and not some small child really was not all that bright of 
him. But it did take about two weeks for the resulting grin to 
wear off his mother's face. Tanis thought by proving himself a 
dominant adult male would mean she would no longer treat 
him like a child. But sure enough when the next time she 
decided she wanted some more quality time with Tanis. 
Smiling she just grabbed his ear again and then dragged him 
into her room. Noha could not to this day get out of his mind 
the look on Tanis`s face. The look of sobbing on his face out 
of place and just too funny especially with his pitiful pleas of 
help when Salena led him away. Regardless of how old the 
person was, if Salena was displeased with you, she tended to 
treat that person as she would a child.

Ranma during the few days he was away from his father also 
became a very close friend to Lorena, they quickly became 
inseparable. They spent most of the time together playing and 
with Ranma trying to show some of the Martial arts to Lorena 
and had even tried to teach her some moves. Noha watched 
for the first time as Lorena's red star side actually started to 
show itself. Something Noha thought was impossible since 
her gifted side was so dominate it was thought that her red 
star side would always be dormant. He was also surprised 
when the two formed a pre-bond with the close friendship that 
they had formed. Both should have been too young for such a 
bond to happen. But since it was already there, there was 
really nothing Noha could do about it. But it did spark his 
interest to just what the young Ranma was capable of. After 
learning a little of how Genma was raising Ranma he decided 
that he was going to get Ranma out from under Genma's 
control. Genma was definitely not fit to raise a child and 
definitely was the worst father alive to Noha. He began with 
Tanis and Nime's help to start the investigation on Genma 
Saotome. Come to find out it seemed that Genma liked to use 
Ranma to do his dirty work for him. Or at least use Ranma to 
blame the crime on. Genma had already started to use 
Ranma for the skipped meals and debts he made on New 
Avatron. Using Ranma's name on many debts he made on 
New Avatron, or leaving notes to send the bill to Ranma at 
Noha's Address.

When Genma returned he first tried to sneak and take 
Ranma. But Tanis found him when he tried it. Genma was 
frightened that Tanis could detect him while he was using the 
Umisen-ken. Tanis then brought him to Noha. Genma quickly 
started groveling at Noha`s feet although Genma told himself 
he was just using the Crouch of the wild Tiger. Noha realized 
right there that Genma was not just a common thief, but was 
also a spineless coward. Then Noha told him about the pre-
bond that Ranma and Lorena had formed, and also informed 
him that Nime had seemingly had adopted Ranma as one of 
her cubs. It would most likely take a few days to convince her 
to let Ranma be returned to him. Genma then angrily said he 
did not want some small and weak woman to interfere and 
ruin Ranma`s training. Genma hearing a low growl behind 
him turned to see a very pissed off Nime. Nime all nine feet of 
her was currently in I am pissed mode. Her long claws were 
out her fur rising and her large leathery wings were spread 
out. Putting her muzzle right in Genma's face said care to find 
out how weak I am little man. Baring her sharp teeth to 
Genma when her face was in his. She even made another 
growl at him. Which caused Genma to turn white as a sheet. 
Genma tried to get away using the Umisen-ken but Noha 
quickly tripped Genma and Nime picked him up by the neck. 
She then with her meanest look said if he ever tried to harm 
Ranma or anyone in her Family again she would eat him 
alive. After taking another look at the fat and bald Genma she 
just shook her head " No Ill just use you as a scratching post. 
Too much fat and hardly any meat on you". She then tossed 
Genma at the wall. Looking at Noha she then gave him a 
shrug. "Well a woman needs to watch her figure and too 
much fat in a meal would definitely ruin mine she told Noha. 
Then she walked to the training hall in the house and while 
Genma was watching used a training dummy to vent her 
anger. Genma seeing Nime literally shredding it with her 
claws fainted dead away when he saw just some of what she 
was capable of doing. Thinking back to the training manual he 
had recently picked up. " Yes," he said out loud the Neko-ken 
will definitely make Ranma the best martial artist ever." Tanis 
hearing this as he walked up behind Genma asked, what was 
a Neko-ken. Genma then turned around; he was shocked and 
also frightened to have Tanis come up behind him without 
ever hearing him approach. Genma then looked at him 
nervously that it was a marital art technique that he recently 
came across. Tanis said to him it would be best to fully read 
the manual before he tried anything. Promising that he would 
Genma quickly left the room.

It was a couple of days later that Genma finally decided it was 
time to leave. If he stayed any longer his past would start to 
catch up with him. He knew trying to put the blame it on 
Ranma would not work here. It was then Noha sensing that 
Genma was up to something, and might try and make a run 
for it came up with the contract. Noha at the time was trying to 
delay Genma a few more days. Although he thought that 
there was no way Genma could make it to the portal before it 
closed. No human was capable of running over a hundred-
miles in a day before the portal closed thought Noha. Genma 
after hearing the amount Noha was offering quickly agreed to 
it. After taking the credit chip he asked Noha if they found the 
portal. Noha told Genma where it was and that it would only 
stay open for an another day or so. Later after waiting for 
daybreak to come the time most Avatron's would have to 
sleep. Genma was thankful that the Avatron's happened to be 
a nocturnal race. It meant he did not have to lose any sleep 
when he made a run from the law here. Genma then grabbed 
Ranma and made a run for the portal. All the while cursing at 
Ranma for all the work he was making him do with this 
running, and for all the disrespectful behavior Ranma had 
done while at the Starliner Estate. After getting through the 
portal back to Earth he gave the beating he thought Ranma 
deserved for making all the trouble he experienced while on 
New Avatron. Thinking he was finally far away from those 
damn empaths, and they would no longer be able to detect 
what he was doing. He definitely needed to show Ranma 
what happened to him when he disrespected his authority. 
The boy needed to be reminded that he was in charge again 
he needed to beat any thought out of Ranma`s mind that 
anyone cared for him.

Noha could only guess at what Genma had went and done 
after he returned to Earth. Though some could have been 
figured out through the bond Lorena and Ranma now shared. 
Noha had learned from Lorena that Genma had beaten 
Ranma as soon as they got back to Earth. Lorena cried for 
hours after it and both Tanis and Nime vowed to permanently 
take care of Genma the next time they saw him. Lorena not 
thinking ahead to what might happen. Through a lot of hard 
work had sent that through the bond. The next day Ranma 
most have told Genma that because Lorena freaked out when 
Ranma must have received a even worse beating than 
before.

Then a year later Genma must have done something to 
Ranma that was even worse. It was so horrible that both 
Ranma and Lorena just barely survived it. They had to keep 
Lorena in a comatose state for over two weeks so that she 
could actually survive what was happening to Ranma. It was 
for a few weeks afterwards she would freak at seeing a 
Cartail. It took a lot of therapy before it stopped and it took} 
months afterwards before she would let any Cartail anywhere 
near her.

Still thinking about the past Noha continued to make 
breakfast, wondering just what Genma had went and done 
after he returned to Earth.

Genma waking up in a wooded area in a park in Tokyo was 
angry "Damn that alien freak for all the things he did to me" 
Genma thought to himself. " I thought the Neko-ken would 
have taken care of that alien bitch for me, Ranma belongs to 
me not some damn alien."

Genma wished he could have killed the bitch`s father 
somehow. He knew with the forbidden techniques he might 
be able to do it. But then those two beasts would hunt him 
down like some animal. He needed to find out somehow if 
those beasts followed Noha here. His only chance at getting 
Ranma back under his control meant he had to take care of 
Lorena and Noha permanently.

Genma then thought back to when he then found a way to 
leave New Avatron. Wondering why his first plan to get rid of 
Lorena failed.

Genma after waiting a year after leaving New Avatron 
decided Ranma was old enough to learn the Neko-ken. 
Taking Tanis`s advice he read the whole manual. After 
reading it he was a little fearful that Ranma might go insane 
but if he did it meant that Ranma was too weak to be the true 
Martial artist Genma wanted him to be. But if it was true about 
the severe trauma it could cause turned out to be accurate. 
Then the little he had heard about Avatron's Gifted that he 
had learned meant that Lorena would most likely be killed 
because of trauma she would experience through the bond. 
That also was dependent on if the bond worked the way 
Genma thought it did as well. Genma realized this by thinking 
that since Lorena was an alien and not human the Code of 
Honor of a marital artist would not apply. But he knew if ever 
asked about it he would have to lie and say he never read the 
warning. Genma really did not care if it was a banned 
technique, if it meant that Lorena would be killed because of 
it. With the fear of cats that the manual said that the Neko-ken 
would install meant that Tanis and Nime could never take 
Ranma away from him again. Honor be damned Ranma 
belonged to him and was his ticket to a life of luxury. With 
Nodoka's family setting up a trust fund for when Ranma finally 
married. Genma had found out about it from a letter Nodoka 
received from her family. With the inheritance that Soun`s 
wife's family set up for her and Soun`s heir meant that he 
could gain it all for himself if he made sure that he just raised 
Ranma the way he wanted. He just had to keep Ranma from 
learning anything other than Martial arts. Genma vowed that 
he would do everything in his power to make sure that Ranma 
could never make friends again. Genma also planned on 
disowning Ranma a little while after Ranma married. All he 
had to do was engage Ranma to someone every time the 
opportunity raised. Making sure that at least one would show 
up after the marriage and Ranma and his wife bore a proper 
heir. Then he could use it as a excuse in claiming since 
Ranma failed to be honorable and taking care of these false 
engagements, and for dishonoring his wife disown Ranma 
and tossing him out of the clan. Since he was the head of the 
clan and because Nodoka was a traditional Japanese wife 
could then do nothing about it. He also planned on making 
sure then Ranma would end up being engaged and married 
to the Tendo daughter that was least suited to be a proper 
wife. Which Genma would use to disown and toss her out of 
the clan after he did it to Ranma. Claiming that Ranma would 
not have fallen from the path of Honor if she had been a 
proper wife to Ranma. Leaving him to that rightfully should 
already belong to him. He could then repeat the process with 
Ranma's child insuring that he would live the good life to a 
ripe old age.

After he had learned of Jusenkyo he changed his plan, when 
he heard about the spring of drowned girl. He remembered 
back to when he made the pact to have Ranma commit 
seppuku if Ranma was unmanly. If he got Ranma cursed with 
the pool of drowned girl he could have Nodoka do the dirty 
work for him, with Nodoka's view on manliness. After taking 
Ranma to Jusenkyo and after the incident with the Chinese 
Amazons. He actually looked at the pact. "Damn that woman 
to hell for adding that I would also commit seppuku if Ranma 
turned out to be unmanly." Genma thought to himself. Genma 
decided to divorce or find a way to toss her out of the clan in 
dishonor as well. Although at first Nodoka's sense of 
manliness and honor had at first served his interest. It was 
now threatening his plans. Which meant to Genma in his 
mind the bitch had to go. Besides it was getting tiring in faking 
that he had actually loved her. Although he did fear that 
sword of hers. That sword should have now belonged to him 
when he married her. But Nodoka insisted it was her Duty 
and Honor that she holds onto the Saotome ancestral blade. 
Since she did go against her family in marrying him she really 
could not give it to him since he was only a Saotome by 
marriage. Actually it would belong to Ranma once he married. 
Genma after rereading the contract swore he was going to 
find a way to get back at both Ranma and Nodoka for their 
disrespect behavior. Ranma because that ungrateful son of 
his for daring to actually getting him cursed as well instead of 
just Ranma as he originally planned on, when he brought him 
to Jusenkyo and Nodoka for being a thorn in his side when it 
came to getting what should rightfully be his. Now he just had 
to figure out how.

Genma after finishing packing his tent. One he got after 
pawning Nodoka's sword cursed Noha and his ability to plan 
ahead. Seems Noha had again taken from him something 
that rightfully belonged to him and him alone. It seemed that 
Noha had left instructions to the bank he the check had come 
from at first that it could only be deposited into the Saotome 
account. Then it would need both Nodoka's and Genma's 
signatures before any of the funds could be withdrawn. 
Making the money as of now unavailable to him. All the bank 
had done was deposit it in Nodoka's account. That ungrateful 
wife of his had sometime during the training trip with Ranma 
had removed him from being authorized to withdraw any 
funds from her accounts. Making only the money he had got 
from selling Nodoka's ancestral sword the only funds he 
currently had.

Genma did not know what he was going to do, but he needed 
to find a way to get back at Nodoka and Ranma for what they 
did to him. He was the head of the family and listening to that 
damn alien ruined his life long work. He needed to get rid of 
the Starliner's as well.

While Genma was clearing his camp he heard a voice yell out 
"Where am I now!" hearing that a faint smile came upon his 
face. A patsy would be better at getting rid of those aliens, 
and with a patsy the beasts would then hunt him not Genma. 
Genma could then think up a plan to regain Ranma back 
under his control. Maybe with the masters help. All Genma 
had to do get his help is allow him free access to his darling 
Ranma-chan's body anytime he wanted. It would also serve 
as a lesson to Ranma just what would happen to him for 
disobeying his father and betters.

With a "Ranma this is all your fault" from the person in 
question. Genma approached the person so he could begin 
his plans of revenge.

With breakfast almost finished the phone at the Starliner 
residence rang. Noha was brought back to the present from 
thinking about the past, quickly answered it. "Hello this is the 
Starliner Residence, may I help you?" he said to the person 
on the phone.
"Hello" a young woman's voice said this is the principal`s 
secretary at Furinken high school, is a Mr. Noha Starliner 
Home? I am calling about a Lorena Starliner; it's about her 
being enrolled at Furinkan high school. "She's supposed to be 
starting today." she said to him, Noha picked up the 
nervousness in her voice.

"I am Noha Starliner, Miss and I thought I had made 
arrangements that my daughter would be home schooled I 
already filled out the paperwork and I have a tutor set up to 
come today from the school board." He told the secretary

"I'm sorry Mr. Starliner but not according to our records from 
the school board. Something must have happened to your 
daughters school records while they were at the school 
board. Ill see what I can do, but Lorena has been enrolled to 
Furinkan for the current semester." she nervously said to 
Noha. "You can accompany your daughter to school and then 
I can see if there anything I can do or talk to the principal." 
she added.

"Ok, but Ill have to come about an hour late with my daughter 
so I can inform the tutor that is being sent today. Also mark 
on Ranma Saotome's school record as well he's going to be a 
hour late for school today as well, he's currently staying here 
for the time being, so I will be bringing him with us when we 
arrive at the school today."

"That will be fine Mr. Starliner I will set up an appointment for 
you around that time with the principal." said the secretary.

"That would be fine, we will be their then.," said Noha to the 
secretary hanging up the phone.

The secretary after hanging up the phone turned on the 
intercom to Principal Kuno`s office, and informed him of the 
conversation with Mr. Starliner

Principal Kuno just smiled at the news. It seemed his little 
plan to get a new teacher for the school was working well. By 
using that gaijin girl's education as a bargaining chip he could 
get Mr. Starliner as the new teacher. Besides with the Kuno 
fortune and his family name what could some gaijin do?

Principal Kuno came up with the plan when he heard little 
Tatewaki talking of some white hair goddess that was 
destined to be his love just as Akane Tendo and his pigtailed 
girl. After Tatewaki asked him if he could find out what school 
his white haired girl was going to when Sazsuki could not find 
the girl's home. Principal Kuno found out Tatewaki only saw 
the girl walking with some young man when they must have 
gone out shopping since Tatewaki keep saying how the low 
born man was carrying some shopping bags for his goddess. 
That should have been his privilege and needed to teach the 
peasant his place.

Then on his trip to the school board he saw the file for a 
Lorena Starliner. After seeing the photo of the girl matching 
Takky's description he then convinced the board to have the 
girl enrolled into the school.

While he was trying to convince the board to transfer the girl 
to his school in the Kuno way, Principal Kuno when so far as 
to tell them why. What better way to keep an eye on to 
strange gaijins than to have the father as a teacher and the 
girl as a student at Furinkan high school. It was then some 
strange man dressed in black came up to the head of the 
school board and said that actually would be a good idea. "It 
could actually take care of a few problems," he said handing a 
file to the head of the board. After reading it the head of the 
board granted Principal Kuno a sly smile and then made the 
arrangements to have Lorena Starliner enrolled into Furinkan 
high school. Principal Kuno then asked to see the file, but the 
man in the black business suit just told him that the file was 
confidential and only the head of the board was authorized to 
see it. "Who are you then?" Principal Kuno asked. Wondering 
whom this person was challenging a Kuno. "Just a courier 
from the UN, From a little known agency. You have probably 
never heard of us". He said to him, handing him a card, then 
left with the file.

Looking at the card Principal Kuno just looked at it in 
puzzlement. Just what was this M.I.B "The Men in Black" 
anyway? It really did not matter anyway. He did not do 
anything to try and stop his little plan.

"Oh, by the way, let nothing happen to Lorena Starliner. It 
was made quite clear that if anything happened to the 
Starliner girl it would be a big embarrassment for Japan. You 
can have Mr. Starliner as a teacher through your little plan but 
if anything happens to Miss Lorena Starliner you lose your job 
at least." the head of the school board said} to Principal Kuno.

"Who dares challenge the great clan of the Kuno's and me 
the Great Kahuna." He became angered that some peasant 
dared say something to him.

"Actually that came from the Emperor himself. He stated and I 
quote that if any Japanese official was in any way involved in 
causing any harm to Lorena Starliner that official would at 
least be stripped of their position and dishonored in his eye's 
and if it was severe enough then that persons clan would be 
also."

Principal Kuno was shocked at this. Just who were these 
Starliner's anyway? Maybe it would be best if he kept 
Tatewaki away from the girl. No they were Kunos and they 
could do anything they wanted. The head of the board must 
have lied to him just to scare him. No way the Emperor would 
be concerned about some gaijin peasants. Besides with the 
Kuno fortune and their nobility there was nothing that this 
Noha Starliner could do against the greatness that was the 
Kuno clan. It's not like that these Starliner's could be even 
richer then the Kuno's with their long ancestral line.

Ranma was currently being dragged down the hall by Lorena. 
Both were still naked and slightly damp from their bath. 
Nothing he tried seemed to deter Lorena. Ranma was finding 
out the hard way that she was as strong or stronger then 
Ryouga. Nothing short of force would most likely stop her, 
and Ranma did not want to use his strength against her like 
that. The warm waters of the bath had changed him back his 
male form. But when Lorena first tried to drag him out of the 
bath Ranma had told her that it was not the custom here for a 
guy and a girl to go to breakfast nude. She just looked at him 
with a puzzled look and asked why. Ranma really had no 
answer for her "it's just the way things are in Japan," he told 
her. "Oh, ok that's easily fixed," she said with a smile and 
poured some cold water over him changing Ranma to his 
female form. Then continued to drag him to breakfast. It was 
really embarrassing to be nude like this with Lorena but she 
seemed to be totally innocent to it. Ranma would not even 
admit it to himself that he was attracted to Lorena and found 
himself take glances at her body. 

When they arrived into the dining room Ranma was again 
surprised at Noha's reaction to what was going on. Instead of 
getting angry or demanding why he was naked with Lorena, 
he just tossed both a bathrobe and told Lorena to put it on for 
the time being.

"Lorena, you have to remember that humans have a different 
sense of modesty. Remember when I told you humans rarely 
go without wearing clothing." Noha said to Lorena. Giving 
Ranma the impression that this was not the first time he had 
this discussion with her.

"But Ranma likes to look at my body daddy, he's been taking 
peeks at it will we were bathing and coming down here." said 
Lorena. Which almost gave Ranma a heart attack finding out 
Lorena knew he was taking peeks at her nude body.

"No I was not, I'm not some pervert." Ranma spat out without 
thinking. Which only got him a confused look from Lorena, 
and a slight chuckle from Noha.

"Ranma no one will think you a pervert for taking a look at 
Lorena. Actually I would be more worried if you did not try and 
take some peeks at Lorena during your time together." Noha 
told Ranma.

"What do you mean by that?" asked a confused Ranma

"Nudity is common on New Avatron so we are used to seeing 
people like that. Also it's nice to know that you're a natural 
redhead in that form.

With a "eep" Ranma quickly put on the bathrobe. Ranma had 
forgotten he was currently in his female form and was nude 
as well.

Noha only gave a mischievous smile at Ranma's display. 
Finishing placing breakfast on the table they all sat to eat, 
Although it took a reminder from Lorena's father for her to put 
on her bathrobe.

After putting on the robes, they all sat to have breakfast. It 
was more westerns than what Ranma was used too but he 
ate it with his usual gusto. With Noha and Lorena eating at a 
more normal pace.

"Lorena after breakfast could you please get dressed in a 
simple outfit, It seems you are going to school with Ranma 
today." Noha informed his daughter.

Lorena was confused at what her father just told her "Why 
daddy I thought you said I was going to have a tutor just like 
back home?" 

"So did I, until I got a phone call just this morning informing 
me, you had been enrolled at Furinkan for this semester". 
Noha told her sensing his daughters confusion.

"How did that happen daddy, I remember we went to fill all 
that paperwork they wanted us to do?" Lorena asked, 
remembering the day she had all that testing and filled out 
forms with her father few days ago.

"Seems that your file was misplaced while being processed, 
and got mixed up with the one for enrolment into Furinkan." 
Noha told his daughter, but he personally had problems with 
the stated excuse, something was up. But Noha felt no 
danger from it, which was why at the moment he was going 
along with it.

"But what about the tutor daddy, sheds supposed to be here 
soon." she asked.

"I called the school and got permission for both you and 
Ranma to be a little late for school so we can let your tutor 
know what's going on."

"Ok daddy, Ill go and get dressed so I can go with Ranma to 
school." Lorena said happily and ran to her room after 
finishing breakfast to get dressed for school.

Ranma watched Lorena leave the room. One thing was still 
on his mind and thought this would be a good time to ask 
Noha.

"Mr. Starliner what is this bond, or as you 
been calling it a pre-bond?" asked Ranma 
after finishing his breakfast. Just call me 
Noha Ranma, and as to your question A Bond is 
how we gain a mate or as you call it getting 
marred." Noha told Ranma a pre-bond is more 
like a fianc�e or a very close friend's. Are 
you telling me I am already marred to Lorana 
by Avatron's customs? Ranma asked


 We don't really have a marriage customs; we 
just respect people bonds and recognize them 
as mates. And A pre-bond can be anything from 
the start of becoming a full bond and we also 
considered them as friendship bonds" Noha 
informed Ranma


 So what you said about being Lorena's 
fianc�e was not true Ranma stated getting a 
little angry at the thought of being used 
again.


 No Ranma by earth customs you are Lorena's 
fianc�e and if you end up developing a full 
bond I will hope you marry Lorana by Japanese 
law. Noha said


 So if this pre-bond dose not become a full 
bond I don't have to marry Lorana? Ranma 
asked Noha thinking he might have a way out 
of this new mess he was in.


 That's right Ranma, but you pre-bond with 
Loran is already getting stronger. And it 
seems it only a matter of time before it 
become a full bond, Don't try and fight it 
Ranma you only heart yourself and Lorana if 
you try. Just think you will have some that 
will always support you and will accept you 
for how you are and not think of you as a 
prize to be won. Noha continued "I am back" 
Lorana said as she ran into the room. Driest 
in jeans and a Wright shirt Ranma thought she 
look stunning in her chose of close, even if 
they were just normal clothing. Lorana was 
wearing. She make almost anything she wears 
look good," thought Ranma.


 "That's not a Furinkan school uniform" Ranma 
said then relies he put his foot in his mouth 
again9:46 AM 7/27/2005m they where expecting to have a home 
tutor coming today. Lorana would not need one 
for home tutoring.


 "I think we can get one a school for her 
Ranma, But we need to have it tailored before 
she can ware it". Noha said to Ranma.


 Just then the doorbell rang "That must be 
the tutor I get it" Noha said to Ranma and 
Lorana. Walking to the front door of the 
house. After a few minutes Noha came back and 
informed them that they were ready to go to 
Furinkan high school now. Ranma was thinking 
just what it would be like going to school 
with Lorana would be like. "This is going to 
be a interesting day." fearing the worst 
Ranma just hope at least Kuno would not be 
waiting at the front gate as he usually did 
since they were arriving late today but had a 
bad feeling about what might transpire during 
Lorena's first day at Furinkan high school 
was going to be like. School was going to be 
more then boring today. Thought Ranma as the 
three of them walked out the door on the way 
too school.
