Ranma 1/2

Ranma Yakuza

Chapter 1



As the sun started to rise, the first of it's ray 
hit the person that was already up and ready for 
the day.  As the light brightens the day, you could 
see that the person was man about 16 to 20 in ages.  
It was hard to tell the true age of the person because 
of the face that looked young but the eyes that held 
experiences and knowledge of things that did not match 
his face.

As the day begin to brighten, you could see that the 
person was doing some kind of dance, or better yet, 
a kata that was fast but graceful, random yet
focused, and something that would have captured 
it's audiences in awe, if there were any.

As the person brought their motion to it's final movement 
and halted, he took a deep cleansing breath and finally 
relaxed.  He moved towards the
house that he lived in, his movement graceful 
and yet held power that was
obvious to even the small child.

"That was a good workout"

The person spoke with a voice that was rather soft 
and unexpected from
someone who seems to hold so much power.

As he entered the house, a man who seem to be in 
mid thirties came up to
the person and spoke,

"Ranma, I can't believe you can get up early 
enough to do all that stuff
that you do.  I mean I'm don't even consider 
myself human before I had a
solid breakfast and at least three cups of coffee".

As he spoke the two of them, started to walk 
towards the kitchen where
their breakfast and other stuff will be ready 
for them.

"You know you should take it easy Ranma, I mean, 
you are already the best
in our organization and you are only 16.  
Although it's hard to believe
that you are only 16".

The man said this to Ranma as he was biting into 
his food and drinking his
coffee.

"Well, I can never stop my training, I have to 
keep going or else I won't
be the best.  I have to be the best, it's the 
only thing that the old man
was right about.  I can't never relax, being 
the best mean you always have
to watch out for some two bit moron who want 
to take that position away
from you".

As Ranma said his words in same soft voice 
that he spoken earlier in the
morning, showing little to no emotion, only 
emotion that was visible was on
of contempt and little bit of anger that showed 
through when he mentioned
the old man.

"You got a point there Ranma.  Ok, eat up, 
we got a meeting with the boss
this afternoon you know.  We want to make a 
good impression with the boss,
always".

As the man spoke, it was obvious that Ranma 
was already done with his meal
and was preparing himself to get up and get 
ready for whatever events that
was to happen today.

"Hanzaki, you worry too much about the most 
trivial of things.  Don't worry
about the meeting with the boss this afternoon.  
If it's a job, we'll take
care of it, if it's something else, we'll just 
have to see what the boss
wants".

Now the man, whose name we know to be Hanzaki, 
seem to relax a little,
however, he still had that worried expression 
on his face, and was now
looking at his young friend's retrieving back.

"I wonder what goes on inside that kid's head.  
I mean he is tough and all,
but doesn't seem to worry about anything and 
doesn't seem to care much.
His voice is really freaky though, speaking 
with that soft non-caring voice
of his..."


Time passed and now the two of them are 
driving in a car, Hanzaki in the
driver seat and Ranma in the passenger seat.  
Hanzaki wore black suit and
black sunglasses, and Ranma wore white suit 
with black sunglasses that made
him look more handsome than even before.

"Hanzaki, do you think you can teach me how 
to drive?"

Question caught the man completely off guard.

"What?"

"I said, if you can teach me how to drive"

It was strange question and even more strange 
coming from Ranma.

"What brought this on?  You never had a need 
to drive before?  I mean for
crying out loud you can just jump from rooftop 
to rooftop"

Ranma seem to think for a little at this 
question and answered

"I don't know, I just feel like driving 
that's all"

"Well, sure no problem, I can teach you how 
to drive, that's no problem at all"

Rest of the way, the drove in silence, only 
thing you heard of sound of
breathing, one person's breath.  Ranma did 
not even make a sound when
breathing.  Something that came with years 
of experience and training.

"We are hear, wonder what the boss wants from us"

"We'll find out when he tells us, let's go in"

They made their way into a huge house that was 
too big to be called a
house, more like a castle.


We see a man who seems to be in his late 70s 
and is surrounded by men who
are wearing black suit.  It seems that everybody 
here is wearing a black
suit except for Ranma who is dressed in white.

"It is good of you two to come"

Man who was in his late 70s spoken up.  
Actually smiling towards Ranma but
not paying much attention to the other man 
beside Ranma.

"You command us to be here Don, of course 
we'll be here"
(Don is a term that is used address the 
leader of Yakuza)

"Well, Ranma, that is good to hear.  Everyone, 
leave the room now, I will
speak to Ranma privately and alone"

As he commanded, everybody started to get up 
and leave the room.  Hanzaki
hesitated but left after a look from Don.  
After everyone has left the
room, Don got up and walked towards Ranma.

"Ranma it has been almost 10 years since 
I've found you and brought you
into our family.  You have proven yourself 
to be exceptional and most loyal
to me and the family.  You are undoubtedly 
the most skilled fighter and
assassin our family has and the most efficient 
at that"

As the Don started his speech, and his praise, 
we can see for the first
time emotion from Ranma's face.

"Thank you Don, you took me in and raised me 
when I was only a boy who was
suffering from horrible madness, you taught 
me many things, called in many
masters around the world to train me, of 
course I owe all this to you and
the family"

Ranma was actually smiling as he said this, 
smile that made him look
exceptionally handsome.

"Ranma, you are the most powerful person our 
Family has in terms of
fighting prowess.  You have mastered at least 
20 different fighting arts
and art of assassination all over the world.  
Of course, your personal and
unique style of Cat-Fist still leaves rest of 
them in the dirt.  However,
because of this fact, you have become famous 
among underworld and also you
have gained attention from the law"

This news did not come as surprise to Ranma who 
already gained the respect
of many of the underworld and were seek out by 
the law.

"Don, I know all this already, what do you wish 
of me?  Do you wish me to
kill the chief of police again?"

"No Ranma, it seems that you have become too 
famous, that Japanese
government may be bringing in outside help to 
find and capture you.  It is
good thing that no one has ever seen your face, 
your stealth technique is
unbeatable.  This is what I want you to do, 
I want you to live among the
people and attend High School for a while"

Ranma looked like someone just shot him with a 
biggest gun in the world.
His eyes held surprise and disbelief.

"Don, you want me to what!?!?!?!?!"

"I want you to live among the people and attend 
High School until things
quite down a little"

Ranma still had a look of disbelief.

"Don, you must be kidding, no you have to be 
kidding me.  You want me to
live among people, and attend High School.  
Why?  I already had all the
proper education and I don't need High School.  
I'm sorry Don, but this
joke is not funny anymore."

Don seems to be getting little smile on his 
lips, but did not show.

"Ranma, I am not joking, and you will obey 
my order without fail"

"Of course Don, but why?"

"It seems that the heat may be coming little 
bit too hot, of course I know
that you can handle it, however I would like 
it if you would do this just
until the heat cools down a little and when 
you can operate safely again"

Ranma thought about this a little, and than 
came to decision.

"Of course Don, I will obey you"

Don looked pleased at this answer that Ranma 
gave him.

"Oh, Ranma, it seems that we found your old 
man again, our men has already
detained him.  Do you wish to see him?"

"Don, he has no value to me, and he has 
little to no connection to me
anymore, just find out if my mother is still 
alive and where she lives, and
do as you wish with him"

"Of course Ranma, we will get those information 
from him no problem.  We
will inform you as soon as we find out.  Oh, the 
place you will be living
and the school you will be attending will be on 
the folder on that desk"

Don pointed to the black table and the white 
folder that was sitting on it.
Ranma walked towards in picked up the folder 
and read the content.

"Nerima, Furinken High School"

With that he bowed to the Don and walked out 
of the room.

"Ranma, it should be good for you to be around 
people of your own age and
ordinary people who are not of killers and such.  
You will learn lot from
this experience"

Don said after Ranma walked out and closed the 
door to the room.

End of Chapter 1

Next Chapter, Ranma goes to Furinken High and 
meets some of the regular
cast.  Ranma and Kuno meeting that could not 
be avoided and Ranma and
Nabiki?????


Note.

This is something different from the regular 
Ranma1/2 stories.  I wanted to
try something different, after reading Crying 
Freeman and some other Yakuza
mangas, I thought, why not, let's make Ranma 
a Yakuza member, but that
really didn't work along with Ranma1/2 story, 
so I decided to make Ranma go
to high school and stuff.  It seems fun.

How did Ranma become a Yakuza member?  That 
will be answered later on, but
if you followed the anime and note what the 
Don said, it happened when he
was about 6, about the time of Cat-Fist 
training so this should give you
some hints.

Ranma does not have any more feelings towards 
Genma, he has been separated
from Genma for 10 years now, and been living 
as Yakuza personal for about
that much.  However, that doesn't mean that he 
doesn't have feeling for his
mother, even if it's for the curiosity of meeting 
what kind of person his
mother is he would want to find her.

Ranma 1/2

Ranma Yakuza

Chapter 2



Ranma was walking out from the house that 
the Family provided for him for
the time being that he was to spend living 
in Nerima and going to Furinken
High.  He knew why Don wanted him to live in 
Nerima and go to Furinken
High, but didn't really understand the 
reason behind it.  If he needed to,
he could have fought his way out of any 
situations.

"I don't understand this at all, but Don 
ordered me so I must follow his
orders.  Well, it seems that this is a nice 
enough neighborhood.  I wonder
what kind of place that I'm going to have to 
spend my time in that high
school"

Ranma just moved in yesterday night and 
did not have time to look around.
He was dressed in his white suit, he took 
one look at the thing he had to
wear as a uniform and did not ever wanted 
to see it again, specially on
him.  He decided to have a talk with the 
principle in allowing him to wear
his white suit to school.  He continues 
to walk to his school and look
around when he saw the dojo with a sign 
that made him stop dead on his way.

"Tendo Anything Goes School of Martial 
Arts?????  This is interesting,
wonder if this is why the Don sent me to 
this town and this high school.
This is getting interesting, I'll have to 
stop by here after school to see
more into this"

Ranma start to make plans in his head and 
started his way to the school
again.  As he closed in, he saw something 
that was truly interesting and
something that was not expected.  He saw a 
girl fighting guys in all sorts
of athletic outfit and it seem that the girl 
was winning.

"What the hell is going on here?  This is 
where I'm going to high school?
Seems like things are getting more interesting 
by the minute"

As he watched, the girl knocked out the 
last of the boy that she was
fighting and was now looking around angry.  
When her eyes fell on Ranma,
there was brief hesitation and something 
else, but was immediately replaced
by anger.

"Well!!!!, aren't you going to attack me?"

It was strange question the girl asked 
something that he did not expect and
he answered truthfully.

"No, there is no reason for me to attack 
you and even if I did, you won't
stand a chance against me"

Soon as the girl heard this, she got mad, 
she was already angry, but now,
she was boiling mad.  The boy in white suit, 
although cute, had just
insulted her fighting skills, and her looks.  
There were all these guys
wanting to date her that proved that she was 
pretty and she beat them all,
proving that she was a good martial artist.  
But he had, in that one
sentence insulted both her looks and her martial arts.

"HOW DARE YOU, YOU BOY!!!!!!"

With that mighty cry, she began to charge at 
him, and lashed out at him,
only to meet with an empty space where the 
boy used to be.

"I don't know what you are so mad about, but 
I don't want to hurt you"

Ranma said this to a girl, who was boiling 
mad and now attacking him.

The girl after hearing the voice from behind 
her turned around with a
viscous spin kick, once again only to meet 
with an empty air.

'How is he doing that?  Is he reading my moves?"

The girl thought as she fought with the boy, 
although fighting might be the
wrong word to describe what was happening, more 
like she was trying to
touch the boy and the boy was just dancing 
around the girl.

"Look, I don't know what your problem is, but 
if you keep this nonsense up,
I'm going to be late for my first day of class, 
so how about you stop this
childish behavior?"

Ranma asked the girl as he avoided another of 
what seem like very slow
punch that was aimed for his jaw.

By now the girl was seeing red, he was avoiding 
everything that she threw
at him and he was constantly insulting her, 
calling her child and insulting
her martial arts.

'I'll show you you BOY!!!!'

That thought was ringing within her head over 
and over again.
As the two people were fighting, number of 
people was watching with
surprised expression.  There was this guy, 
in white suit who was fighting
Akane and seem like he was winning.  
One person who was more surprised than
any other was Nabiki, Akane's sister.

'I wonder who that is, is he the new 
student that we were expecting?
Interesting, nice suit, looks expensive too.  
Winning against Akane too.
Hmmm... this is worth the investigation'

"Junko, I want you to find out everything 
you can about that guy who's
fighting my sister, got it?"

"Ok boss, whatever you say"

Nabiki, after order her underling, 
continued to watch the fight that was
going on between her sister and this 
new boy.  No, no boy at all, even
Nabiki can tell that he was more than 
a mere boy.

While Akane and Ranma were fighting, 
one another person was getting
impatient, he was waiting for Akane 
to finish her fight with the usual
crowd so that he can make is grand 
entrance and awe Akane with is
magnificent presence.  However, 
Akane was taking longer than usual 
and it
seems like that this person in white 
suit was winning.  He could not allow
this, this person to take Akane's hand, 
he had to put a stop to this.

He stepped out from his place behind 
the tree and with his awe inspiring
voice called stop to the fight.

"STOP"

Only to be ignored by everyone.  
He was not liking the look on the girls
faces, they had this look that he 
have never seen before something that was
never directed to him and he did 
not like it.  All was focused on this
person in white.

Little did Kuno know what the girls 
were all amazed by the boy in white and
has developed a crush, all the girls 
were seeing this handsome boy, who did
not take Akane seriously and did not 
want to fight her for her hand.

'This is my chance at happiness'
'I'll make him mind'
'He's so cute!!'
'We were destined to be together'

Thoughts along that line were swimming 
in the minds of all the girls around

Kuno could not take it, so he walked 
to the place where the fight was
taking place and yelled at the top of 
his lung while slashing out with his
boken.

"STOP THIS AT ONCE, I GREAT AND 
MAGNIFICANT TATEWAKI KUNO THE BLUE THUNDER
OF FURINKIN HIGH WILL NOT ALLOW THIS 
TRAVISTY TO CONTINUE ANY FURTHER!!!!"

At the entrance of this idiot, everybody 
turned and stared at him and the
fighters who had to break up because of 
the crazed boken slashing just
turned and looked at him with contempt.

Akane was looking at him with hatred 
for ruining her life.  Ranma was
looking at him because he attacked 
him without just cause and announced.
Everybody else was looking at him 
because of the named he called himself.

"He called himself the Blue Thunder, 
did you know that?"

"It's news to me"

Replied Nabiki.  She continued to gaze 
at the event that was unfolding.

'This is getting more interesting, now 
Kuno is getting involved too.  Hmm,
I wonder what's going to happen now'

On the field, now Akane turned to Kuno 
and said with venom in her voice.

"What do you want Kuno-Sempi"

Everyone can hear the venom and 
sarcastic nature she used to call Kuno
Sempi, except for of course the 
surprise idiot himself.

"Oh, Akane Tendo, it is agonizing to 
watch you fight his lowly cur, in
order for you to earn the chance to 
fight me your true love.  I the Blue
Thunder, could not watch you suffer any 
longer of having yourself denied
your chance to fight me, so I came to 
your rescue"

Everyone looked disgusted at this 
proclamation, especially Akane, she
looked ready to throw up or kill Kuno 
or both.  While this was happening,
Ranma did not look happy, first day of 
school, he was already fighting, and
this complete stranger shows up, attacks 
him for no reason and now insulted
him.  He needed to be taught a lesson and 
he will teach it to him.

"Kuno, I don't love you you moron, I never 
want anything to do with you,
and just the thought of you touching me 
makes me sick!!!!"

"Ah, it is so good to see the shy nature 
of the innocent maiden to deny her
true love for myself.  It is true that 
the maidens deny their true feelings
because of their shy nature"

Of course Kuno had to twist everything 
in order to fit it in is equally
twisted reality, he could not fathom why 
anyone would not love his
magnificent self, and he will not deny 
them of himself.

Akane was getting more and more angry 
with Kuno and was seeing red once again.

"Miss, are you down now?  Can I go?  
I mean it was good exercise and
everything, but I don't want to be late of class"

Ranma said this, and when he said it, 
Akane turn to focus on him again with
look of surprise but also held contempt.  
She was about to reply but Kuno
cut her off.

"You there you foul and vulgar miscreant, 
how dare you treat Akane with
such familiarity and also fight her you base scum!!!"

Everyone was rather surprised with 
what Kuno said.  He was the one who said
that who wanted to date Akane must 
fight her, so what was he saying about
daring to fight her.  And he was 
treating this total stranger with no
respect that was to be paid to all 
strangers in their culture.

Ranma was getting angry, and when he 
get's angry someone dies.  However, he
couldn't just kill some high school 
kid, he had to control himself to
severe beating and perhaps hospitalization,
but no killing.

"My name is..."

That was as far as he got before Kuno once again cut off.

"Wait, isn't it a good manner to give one's 
name first?  Very well, I am
Tatewaki Kuno, senior, rising star of the 
Kendo world also known as the
Blue Thunder of Kurinkin High.  Age seventeen"

As he made his introduction, as soon 
as he said Blue Thunder, the thunder
struck behind him.  Which impressed 
Ranma a little.

'Good timing, but still have to teach 
him his place'

"My name is..."

Once again that was as far as he got 
before Kuno struck with his boken.

By now Ranma was raging mad, Kuno cut 
him off, and he cut him off once
again with attack, did not even let 
him finish his introduction.  Ranma was
going to teach him a lesson that he 
will never forget and leave him a
warning Yakuza style.

He made his introduction as he was 
avoiding Kuno's useless attacks, they
were so slow that if Ranma had a book 
to read, he would be reading it and
dozing off while doing it.

"My name is Ranma Saotome, of..."

He had to pause, the Don insisted that 
he use his family name and also he
couldn't very well tell them that he 
was a member of Yakuza, so he had to
think of something.  And he did.

"My name is Ranma Saotome of Saotome 
school of Anything Goes Martial Arts!
And I'm going to teach you lesson you 
poor excuse of a human being."

As he said this, all present were 
surprised.  They were surprised because
this new boy was going to take on Kuno 
and said that he will teach him a
lesson.  However, Akane and Nabiki was 
surprised for a different reason, he
said that he was of Anything Goes School, 
but there were only two families
that used Anything Goes School...

'This is getting highly intriguing.  
Hmm... Wonder who he is, and how he
knows Anything Goes...'

Thought Nabiki while

'What!??!?!  Anything Goes????  How 
does his boy know our school???'

Thought Akane.

While this was happening Kuno was 
getting tired and was getting desperate,
the cur was dodging all his best 
attacks and made it look like he was not
even trying.

'How is this cur doing this???'

Of course Kuno came up with totally 
wrong conclusion.

'Of course this cur must be using black
 magic to beat my invincible self!'

"How dare you foul cur, how dare you 
use black magic upon my person!!!!  I
will deal with you accordingly!!!!"

Ranma was surprised with this exclamation.

'What black magic?  How did he know I 
know magic?'

He was so surprised that he was not able 
to dodge Kuno when he threw
handful of dirt in his eyes.  This 
action surprised everyone, Kuno was
cheating and being a coward that 
could not accept that there were someone
better than him.  He sunk low, so 
low that his honor could not be
redeemable.  He threw dirt in opponent's 
eyes while in middle of combat.

"You are mine foul sorcerer!!!!"

Kuno yelled and charged in.  Little 
did he know that Ranma did not have to
see in order to fight.  Ranma wasmad, 
he was almost mad enough to forget
about everything and just kill the 
fool, he had the gall to throw dirt in
his eyes!

'I'm going to teach him a lesson, and 
leave him reminder for the rest of
his life!!!!'

As Kuno got closer, Ranma just disappeared, 
and next thing anyone knew was
Ranma beating up on Kuno.  It looked like
 Kuno wanted to fall after first
few hits, but Ranma held him up with 
his hits.  As Ranma hit him, he broke
both Kuno's arms and legs, and made sure 
that he broke few of his ribs.

"You are totally and completely honorless.  
You have cheated and threw a
dirt in opponent's eyes while in combat.  
You attack without honor and now
you will learn your place in the world."

Ranma said this calmly as he was beating up 
on Kuno.  He drew out a little
knife and cut off Kuno's little finger from 
his right hand and curved "Honorless" on his forehead.

"Let this be the permanent reminder of what 
you are fool"

With this statement, Ranma slowly made his 
way out of the crowd and walked
into the school building.

People were in shock, no one has ever 
before have beaten Kuno, except for 
Akane of course, but more importantly 
no on has ever drew blood so casually.  
Kuno was already passed out from pain, 
with his little finger cut off and having 
"Honorless" curved on his forehead along 
with multiple of broken bones had sent him 
to unconsciousness.

Students were shocked and even the school 
bell did not wake them up.  Only
when the paramedics came did they finally 
made their way to the school.

Nabiki was having serious thoughts and 
were shocked as well.

'I can't believe that he did that to 
Kuno.  He is definitely someone that
is to be watched out for and not to 
be treated too casually'

Akane was having some serious thought as well.

'I can't believe that boy did that to 
Kuno.  Sure Kuno was being obnoxious
and idiot but that did not mean that 
he should have caused that much
damage.  I'm going to have to talk to him.'

And everybody else had one thing or 
the other in their mind, but everything
in their mind had to do with Ranma in 
one way or the other.


End of Chapter 2

Next Chapter, well most of Furinkin 
was late to class specially Ranma and
Akane.  They stand out with a bucket 
and Akane have a talk with him.  What
will be the repercussion of Ranma doing 
what he did to Kuno?  Nabiki
introduces himself to Ranma


Note.

This is something different from the 
regular Ranma1/2 stories.  I wanted to
try something different, after reading 
Crying Freeman and some other Yakuza
mangas, I thought, why not, let's make 
Ranma a Yakuza member, but that
really didn't work along with Ranma1/2 
story, so I decided to make Ranma go
to high school and stuff.  It seems fun.

How did Ranma become a Yakuza member?  
That will be answered later on, but
if you followed the anime and note what 
the Don said, it happened when he
was about 6, about the time of Cat-Fist 
training so this should give you
some hints.

Ranma does not have any more feelings 
towards Genma, he has been separated
from Genma for 10 years now, and been 
living as Yakuza personal for about
that much.  However, that doesn't mean 
that he doesn't have feeling for his
mother, even if it's for the curiosity 
of meeting what kind of person his
mother is he would want to find her.

Ranma 1/2

Ranma Yakuza

Chapter 3


"Class today we have a new student with 
us, his name is Ranma Saotome, please 
give him a warm welcome.  However, being 
new does not excuse you from being late 
to class.  Ranma, along with Miss. Tendo 
and half of the class, go stand out in the 
hall with a bucket!"

With that all to brief introduction, many 
of the students who were late to class 
because of what Ranma did to Kuno were 
sent outside to hold buckets.  There 
were shortages of buckets to be held 
that day because so many students were late to class.

"What you did today was totally wrong you know."

Akane said to Ranma as she was standing 
next to him.  After seeing what he did 
to Kuno and how almost too casually 
drawing blood from him Akane had 
decided to have a "Talk" with this new boy.

"What are you talking about?"

Ranma was rather confused with this young 
girl that was standing next to him.  After 
seeing the girl fight so many boys and 
coming after him for no reason, he decided 
that the girl had some violent tendencies 
and decided to not get too close to the 
girl.  But here she was telling him that he was 
wrong on something.

"You know, what you did to Kuno, that 
was really wrong.  No matter what he did 
to you, you shouldn't have drawn blood so 
casually and you showed no control."

Akane was telling his new boy that he 
shouldn't have done what he did.  Sure 
Kuno step out of line, but this boy 
next to her just leaped over the line 
by drawing blood from Kuno.

Ranma was now really confused.  He 
thought that he had gone soft on him.  
He thought that he had gone easy on 
the fool.  If he didn't have to keep 
a low profile, he would have kill the
 moron and gotten it over with as 
soon as the idiot opened his foul mouth.

"What are you talking about?  I thought 
I went easy on him."

This comment shocked Akane and many other 
students on the hallway who were listening 
in on the two.

'He was going easy on him?'
'That was going easy on him?'
'I would hate to see him really mad'

Such things were both thought by many 
and whispered by many others.

"You were going easy on him!?  What 
are you talking about!?  You drew blood, 
you not only broke his arms and legs, 
and possibly broke his ribs, you cut off 
his little finger.  I mean that was going 
over board and that was stepping over the 
line.  How could you do that so casually 
and say that you were going easy on him?"

Akane was on a full steam now, this 
boy was treating the event as it was 
nothing.  How dare he come to her 
school and think that he could get 
away with doing something like that.  
She'll teach this boy to think it over.

Ranma was getting annoyed with this 
little girl that was trying to lecture 
to him.  He did go easy on the poor 
excuse for a fighter.  And from what he 
seen of the girl, the girl lacked real 
control and she had a real temper problem.

"Well, I really wouldn't talk if I were 
you Miss Tendo.  From what I've seen, you 
have a bit of a problem with your temper 
and control yourself."

Akane couldn't believe what she was 
hearing.  How dare this boy talk back 
to her when she was telling him that 
he was wrong.  She was right and he 
was wrong, it is as simple as that.  
How care a boy be right?  They are 
all perverts and they are all wrong 
right?  So where does this boy get 
off in telling her that she was wrong?

"How dare you?  How dare you a boy, 
tell me that I have a problem?  I'm 
telling you that what you did was wrong 
and you are trying to change the subject."

By now Ranma was getting really annoyed 
with this girl.  He just wanted to be 
left alone and this girl was talking 
to him as if she knew him already 
and was busy trying to lecture him on stuff.

"Listen, Miss Tendo, I didn't come 
here to listen to you lecture on what 
is right and what is wrong.  I came 
to school to learn things from teacher 
and not some little miss stuck up, so 
please leave me alone and go stand 
there with your little friends."

With that said Ranma turned his away from Akane.

Akane was seeing red, she was seeing 
red in multiple of different colors. 
 How dare this boy, BOY, treat her 
like this.  She was Akane, the best 
martial artist in Nerima.  How dare 
this boy treat her like some kind of 
little girl.  She'll teach him. 
 She'll teach him the error of his 
way and when she was done with him, 
he would beg her, he would kneel 
before her and tell her that he was wrong.

Akane was still having this little 
fantasy of hers when the teacher let the students in.

**************

While students were getting ready 
to open their books and study, the 
police came to class to ask question 
on what had happened.  They asked that 
any witness to toady's "Assault" come 
meet them and tell them of what 
happened, and they ask that Ranma 
come with them.

After police questioning, it became 
rather clear that Kuno started the 
fight with a weapon first that the 
weapon was considered dangerous 
because from many witness that Kuno 
was splitting hard concrete with his 
boken and also breaking walls with it.  
Police had trouble believing this at 
first, but Nabiki, provided the video 
evidences to the story so police had 
to believe it.

After more investigation from the 
police, Ranma was found to be acting 
in self-defense and that he really 
did not hold any fault except for 
going to the extreme in dealing with 
Kuno and may still face charges after 
Kuno recovers from his unconsciousness.

'This really sucks, I can't believe 
I'm getting into so much trouble because 
of little fight and little lesson that 
I taught that moron.'

Ranma was having a real bad day, after 
all the questioning and all the investigation, 
he was exhausted.  He just wanted the day to 
be over so that he can go back to the 
house that he is staying and relax.

'When Don learns about what happened, 
he is going to have a fit!'

Ranma was getting more depressed by the 
minute.  The Don sent him here to stay 
away from trouble and also stay low profile, 
and what does he do?  Get the police 
involved in his first day of school.

'This really such, and what about that girl?  
I can't believe that girl was trying to 
lecture me, I mean imagine that.'

Ranma was thinking and just walking through 
the hallways of the Furinkin after all the 
questioning was done.  He was heading back 
to his class when he bumped into someone.  
Usually he doesn't do that because he has a 
heighten sense of his surrounding, but all 
his thinking and depression prevented him 
from sensing that someone was in front of him.

"I'm sorry, excuse me"

Ranma try to make his way pass whoever he 
just bumped into.  However, the person had 
other ideas.

"Wait a minute, Ranma-san.  I would like to 
have a little word with you"

After hearing this, Ranma turned and took a 
good look at the person.  It was a girl about 
seventeen to eighteen.  She had short brown 
hair and a fairly good figure.  

"Excuse me?  What is this about?

"Not here Ranma-san, I would like to talk 
to you in private.  Follow me."

Ranma not knowing what else to do, and 
thinking that his first day of class was 
already ruined anyway, decided to follow 
the girl to see what she wanted.

Nabiki who has been waiting for Ranma to 
emerge from the office, saw her chance and 
was now leading him to behind the gym where t
hey can talk in private.  People knew not 
to listen in on her and they also knew to 
stay away from where she was doing business.

When they got to behind the gym, Nabiki 
stopped and Ranma was getting really curious.  
He didn't even know the girls name, but she 
seem to know his, not that it was any 
surprise.  After what happened today, 
everybody knew his name.

"Excuse me, but I didn't get your name."

"Oh, it's Nabiki, Nabiki Tendo."

'Tendo?  Tendo... where did I hear that 
name before?'

Ranma was thinking as well as looking at 
this Nabiki girl that was standing in front 
of him who has just led him to some secluded 
place that people are not likely to come by.

"Ranma, can I call you Ranma?  Anyway, 
if you are thinking that my name sounds 
familiar you are right.  My sister, Akane 
is in your class."

'Oh that's right'

"Of course, the little stuck up girl!"

Nabiki was interested by the Ranma's 
description of her little sister.

'Hmm... this is interesting.  It seems 
that Ranma here is not one of the idiot 
who goes for my little sister.  This 
could be profitable.'

"Well, yes, that's my sister.  However, 
I didn't call you here to talk about my 
little sister.  I want to talk about what 
you did today."

'Oh great, another one of those'

"Listen Nabiki, I already told the 
police and school officials everything.  
He started a fight and he fought 
dirty, so I taught him a lesson. 
 Nothing wrong with that."

"I'm not talking about that.  I'm 
talking about your martial arts skill.  
You have some skill and if I'm not 
wrong, you are better than anybody 
I know.  How would you like to make a deal with me?"

Ranma was intrigued to say the least.  
This girl, who was related to that 
violent and stuck up girl was asking 
him if he wanted to make a deal with her.

'What is she talking about?'

"What kind of deal are you talking 
about Nabiki?"

Nabiki was looking at him, trying to 
read his facial expression, to see how 
he would respond to her deal.

"Well, it's like this, I control most 
of the student population and flow of 
what's what and such.  However, there 
are certain people who sometimes refuses 
to listen to me or refuses to pay up 
what they owe.  I would like to hire 
you to persuade them to pay up or something like that."

"And what do I get in return?"

"Well, you of course will be paid for 
your efforts and I might be willing to 
help you out with this Kuno thing.  
I do have some things on Kuno that may 
discredit anything he says.  So, how about it?"

Ranma was thinking about the offer, 
although this was nothing new to him.  
Him being a member of Yakuza and one 
of the best at what he does, have 
done this kind of work before.  Going 
to collect debts or payments that 
the people owe, or getting rid of 
competitions in their area.  However, 
his Don told him to stay low profile.  
Although the little help with the 
Kuno affair might be worth getting 
into deal with her.  

Nabiki was looking at Ranma trying to 
figure out what he was thinking, but it 
was hard.  Nabiki prided in herself in 
her ability to read people, however, this 
one was hard.  He hid his thinking and 
mood from people so good that she had 
trouble reading the very basic of his 
feelings.

'Hmm... should I do it?  It's nothing 
new and it might give me a little 
entertainment while I wait for things 
to calm down enough for Don to call me back'

Ranma was thinking and was also looking 
at Nabiki over.

'Not bad, not bad at all.  Maybe I should 
have some fun with her too...'

"Well, Nabiki, you make an interesting 
offer..."

"So?  What do you say Ranma?"

"I say you have a deal"

Nabiki was happy, she just acquired 
the best fighter in the area and also 
a very good-looking one at that.  The 
photos that she can sell to the girls 
alone would bring in lot of money.  
There is also the part that he is not 
attracted to her little sister which 
was definite plus to all the girls in 
the school, including herself.

"Well, Ranma, I will have the things 
that I need you to do for me tomorrow. 
 However, there is one thing that you 
can do for me that I know of right now."

"What is it?"

"You can take me to dinner this weekend 
to check out this new restaurant that is 
opening in the area.  I would like to see 
what kind of place it is and if I can make 
something out of it."

With that Nabiki walked away from Ranma.  
Ranma was in shock, this girl who he just 
made some type of business arrangement with 
just asked him out on a date, or rather 
demanded that he go out on date with him.

"What was that?  Did she just ask me on a 
date?  Or is it a date?  This may turn out 
to be very entertaining indeed."

End of Chapter 3

Next Chapter

Ranma goes to check out the Anything Goes 
Martial Arts.  Rest of the Tendo meets Ranma 
and the reaction of Nabiki and Akane when 
they see Ranma at their home.  Soun Tendo 
remembers the family pact.


Note.

This is something different from the 
regular Ranma1/2 stories.  I wanted to
try something different, after reading 
Crying Freeman and some other Yakuza
mangas, I thought, why not, let's make 
Ranma a Yakuza member, but that
really didn't work along with Ranma1/2 
story, so I decided to make Ranma go
to high school and stuff.  It seems fun.

How did Ranma become a Yakuza member?  
That will be answered later on, but
if you followed the anime and note what 
the Don said, it happened when he
was about 6, about the time of Cat-Fist 
training so this should give you
some hints.

Ranma does not have any more feelings 
towards Genma, he has been separated
from Genma for 10 years now, and been 
living as Yakuza personal for about
that much.  However, that doesn't mean 
that he doesn't have feeling for his
mother, even if it's for the curiosity 
of meeting what kind of person his
mother is he would want to find her.

Ranma 1/2

Ranma Yakuza

Chapter 4


Ranma was standing out in the halls 
again.  Because that little talk with 
Nabiki he was late for his class again 
and was told to stand out in the hallways again.  

'You know, this is not turning out to 
be one of my best days.  I mean first 
I get into fight with some totally stuck
 miss little princess and next I get in 
fight with complete moron who gear is 
stuck in some where between Edo era 
and Shakespearean time.  Get questioned 
by those idiots who calls themselves the 
police along with school officials, and 
now he is standing out in the halls again'

He still hasn't decided if he should 
consider the talk or the deal he made 
with Nabiki a good thing or a bad thing.

'Hmm... if this little deal goes wrong, 
I'll might draw too much attention to
 myself and get found out about who 
I really am...  That can't happen 
because Don want's me to avoid that.  
I guess I'll just have to be extra 
careful about it'

With that he starts to remember Nabiki 
and the way she handled herself.  
She was the one who made the first 
move and she was the one who took 
control of their conversation.  
She was one interesting girl.

'That Nabiki was certainly interesting 
girl.  Very smart and from what I can 
tell can read people very well.  
She might have a bright future in a 
business world or as a handler in 
Yakuza.  Of course she will have 
tough time making it in Yakuza, but 
not impossible.  There are some very 
powerful women in Yakuza'

Ranma than started to think about her 
more physical attributes, Nabiki after 
all didn't do all those workout and 
occasional martial arts practice for 
nothing.  Ranma notices.

'She does have a nice body to go with 
that intelligence of hers.  Although 
she might be tad to demanding for 
someone's taste, women of that nature 
can be really wild.  Yes, she does
 have nice package as a whole'

Ranma was so deep in thought that he 
didn't hear the teacher calling him 
back into the class until the teacher 
was practically shouting at him.

"Mr. Saotome!!!!  If you like standing 
out on the halls so much why don't you 
just stay there till the end of the class!!!"

Ranma looked up at the teacher with 
that 'I really don't care' look and 
gave a half smile that actually scared 
the teacher a little that he backed down.

'Today really is not my day'


School was over and students were all 
going home, but they all had something 
to talk about it didn't matter if they 
were boys or girls.  They were all walking 
in-groups and talking about one topic.  Ranma.

Boys wanted to know what kind of animal 
Ranma was to do that to Kuno or what 
kind of super powered hero he was to defeat 
Kuno so easily.

Girls wanted to know if he had a girlfriend 
or if he was interested in someone or 
where he lived and such and so forth.  
It seems that most girls really didn't care 
about what he did to Kuno or that the 
police were actually involved this time.  
It seems that Ranma's good looks, and 
his cool and mysterious personality was 
drawing them like moth to the flame.

Ranma was however oblivious to the fact 
or he didn't really care he just wanted 
to head back to his place.  He was 
exhausted and he just wanted to go 
home and rest.  He once went full 10 
rounds with the so called strongest 
and mightiest of fighter of the 
underground and he didn't feel this 
tired.  He won that fight of course 
and he actually did it pretty easily.  
But it was tiring fight because of 
the man's brute strength and endurance. 

"Ok, time for me to go home, take a 
warm bath and just relax and do nothing."

Ranma started his way home, or the 
place where I will be staying for at 
least until the Don calls him back.

As Ranma was headed back to his place, 
he was the center of attention of almost 
all of female population of Furinkin High, 
however there was one girl who was looking 
at him with more than just blind wanting.

"So Junko what have you found out about 
our newest member?"

"Well, Nabiki it's really strange, I 
asked  Mitiki who works at the 
Administrative office to look up his file.  
Get this, he doesn't really have a file."

"What?  What are you talking about Junko?  
Are you sure Mitiki wasn't mistaken?"

"No, he assured me he checked about 3 
times to make sure.  He knows not to 
piss you off after what you did to him 
last time.  Anyway, Ranma has things 
like his name and age but nothing else 
that really matters.  No home address, 
no phone number, no place of birth or 
no parents.  It's as though he just 
appeared out of no where"

Nabiki was in her thinking mode.  This 
was indeed strange.  This boy, the newest 
member of the population of Furinkin 
High, the boy that every girl in school 
wants, well, except for one which is 
Akane.  She's probably interested in 
girls or something.  Anyway, he was more 
mysterious than she originally thought.  
He didn't even have a proper file but 
managed to get into school

Although getting into schools, especially 
lose schools like Furinkin high wasn't that 
hard, you would have to have paid serious 
money to get into school with incomplete 
fake file during the middle of the year.  
This was indeed interesting.

"Thanks Junko, that's all.  Oh, and keep 
an eye on Ranma while he is in school ok?"

"Sure think Nabiki"

With that Junko went her own way.

"This is interesting.  Just who are you 
Ranma Saotome of Anything Goes School of 
martial arts?"

With that thought in mind, Nabiki headed 
her way home.


Akane was already home in the dojo doing 
her traditional work out, which consisted 
of her breaking as many bricks as she can 
possibly can for as long as she can.  I 
mean if she can break bricks, she should 
be able to beat anybody right?

Akane however, was breaking more bricks 
than usual.  She was angry.  She was angry 
about this new boy that just arrived in her 
school, getting involved in her fight and 
doing such a violent things in her school.  
How dare that boy!

"I'll show him who's the best.  Treat me 
like that, how dare that boy!"

Akane was especially mad that the boy didn't 
show any interest in her.  Contrary to 
popular belief, she did not hate all male 
gender.  She was quite attracted to the 
kind doctor Tofu, however it seems that 
he was firmly in love with Kasumi.  Than 
this new boy appears, and everyone, all 
her friends are talking about him and he 
didn't show any interest in her.

Well, she didn't care if the boy didn't 
show any interested in her.  Why should 
she?  He was just like the rest of them. 
 He was just an insensitive, perverted, 
and stupid boy!

With that Akane continue to do her work 
out and continue to cost the dojo money 
to bring in more bricks for her.  Which 
Nabiki will make by mostly selling pictures 
of her to boys in school and Kuno.

Akane was lost in her thoughts when Nabiki 
got home.

"Hello Nabiki how was your day?"

Asked Kasumi, the pleasant eldest daughter 
of the Tendo.  She was the mother of the 
family, Soun Tendo, the patriarch has long 
lost his hold on his emotion and became 
unfit to run the household.  So Kasumi 
took over as the mother of the family and 
also the father of the family.  She became 
like an emotional wall that can bounce 
off the toughest of the emotional task.

Kasumi was the matriarch, the emotional
 pillar of the family and everyone knew it. 
 If Kasumi fell the house will fall with her.

Nabiki looked at her sister and greeted 
her with a smile of her own.  Contrary to 
popular belief, Nabiki wasn't exactly 
heartless mercenary who only cared about 
money.  People always brings up that she 
even sells her little sister off.  True 
that she does sell pictures of Akane, but 
nothing really damaging.  She sells pictures 
of Akane doing her work out or going out 
with her friends.  She never take anything 
of her sister, or at least sell picture of 
her sister in anything less than a shirt and 
a pants.  

Nabiki cared greatly about her family 
specially her two sisters.  Although she 
has become little jealous of her little 
sister because of her popularity with the
 boys in school.  However, that did not 
mean that she did not love her any less.

She had a job to do and that was to keep 
the house afloat financially.  She needed 
to keep bringing in money to the house so 
that Kasumi would have something less to 
worry about.  She took over the finances 
of the house in an early age, and she found 
that she was good at it and she liked doing 
it.  It was just that as they got older, 
they just needed more things, which needed
 more money so she would use more extreme methods.

"My day was fine Kasumi.  We have a new 
boy in our school"

If anybody who knew Nabiki was here, they 
will be shocked at what Nabiki has just 
done.  She just gave away information for 
free!  However, what they didn't know was 
that Nabiki really didn't keep secret from 
Kasumi and she really didn't tell that much 
either.

"My, is that why Akane has been so angry today?"

"Probably, you know how Akane is"

"Well, I hope that she settles down soon.  
It isn't right for a lady to act so violent 
all the time"

With that Kasumi went back into the kitchen 
to prepare for the dinner.

"Yes dear older sister, it does seem unseemly 
for a lady to act like that"

With that Nabiki went up the stairs to her 
own room.


Ranma was back in his room, already 
taken his warm bath and ready to just 
relax and spend the rest of the day 
meditating.  He was prepare to do little 
work out to clear his mind and go on with 
his meditation when he remember seeing that
dojo with Anything Goes sign.

"That's right, I almost forgotten.  
It was rather hectic day and that was 
probably why I almost forgot to check 
the place out.  Well, it's only 5 and 
it shouldn't be too late for me to visit, 
since it is a martial arts dojo"

He got up and got dressed in one of his 
white suits and decided to go check out 
that dojo.  As he was heading out something 
was bothering him about the dojo but just 
couldn't put his finger on what was bothering 
him about the dojo.

"Doesn't really matter, I'll figure it out 
when I get there"

With that Ranma got out of his place and 
started to walk towards the place where he 
saw the dojo earlier that day.



Tendos were about to have nice dinner that 
Kasumi prepared for them.  To say that 
Kasumi was good at cooking was like saying 
the sun was bright.  Kasumi was a master in 
kitchen, so everyone enjoyed her cooking and 
didn't like to be bothered when they were 
eating.  So it really, truly annoyed everyone 
present, except for Kasumi of course, when 
they heard a knock.

"Oh my, we have a visitor.  Wonder whose 
out there"

With that Kasumi went to get the door and 
to see who was visiting them at this time 
of the evening.



"Here we are, I'm sure this is the place 
I saw with the martial arts dojo sign."  

It seems that Ranma took his time getting 
to this place and it has gotten dark already.  
Although he had an excellent night vision, 
the sign was just too dark for him to see.

"Well, I guess I'm a little late, but since 
I'm here I'll just knock anyway"

Ranma, not really having that much to worry 
about here, decided to go ahead and knock at 
the door anyway.  

Ranma knocked and waited for a minute, he 
didn't know anybody was coming to get the 
door until the door opened and revealed 
very attractive woman of about 18 to 20.  
She had that very calm appearance and also 
the look of young woman who was happy but 
somehow repressed.

Ranma was wondering how she opened the door 
without him knowing that she was already 
behind the door.  It seems that she moved 
without making a single sounds.

'Very interesting, I guess living in a dojo 
gave her some skills.'

"Hello, welcome to Tendo household, what 
can I do for you?"

Kasumi asked in her kind and pleasant voice 
that can please all that hears her voice.

"Tendo?  Did you say Tendo?  As in Akane 
and Nabiki Tendo?"

"Why yes, they are my younger sisters, 
how do you know them?"

By this time Ranma was in his thinking mode.

'What is this?  It seems like I'm fated 
to meet every Tendo in Japan.  Either that
 or I have some unexplainable link to this family.'

"Well, Miss Tendo, I go to school with your 
sisters, but that's not why I am here"

When Kasumi heard that Ranma went to 
school with her sisters, she was rather 
surprised, although she didn't show it.  
The man, not a body, but a man in front 
of him looked so much older than her sisters.  
He was wearing a white suite that indicated 
that he dressed nicely unlike some wild 
clothes that kids in high school wears 
these days outside of school.  He was 
also polite and seem very mature.  

"Oh my, won't you please come in?"

Kasumi invited Ranma in, half looking at 
him with kind eyes and half looking at him 
with something that could almost pass as 
woman longing for a man.

"Thank you Miss Tendo"

"My name is Kasumi, won't you please call 
me Kasumi?"

Kasumi was already relaxed with this guest, 
she couldn't sense any bad things from him.  
He was calm, polite and nice.  He seemed 
trust worthy enough to allow him to call her
 by her first name.

"Ok Kasumi, if you call me Ranma"

"Ok Ranma"

With that Kasumi lead Ranma into the 
living room where the rest of the family 
was dining.  

Soon as Ranma entered the room, the reaction 
was varied, it was of course loud and quite 
at the same time.  Akane of course blew up with

"What is HE doing HERE!!!!"

Nabiki was very quite, just looking at Ranma 
and wondering what he was doing here, but 
more importantly who he really was.

Soun just looked at Ranma with interest.  
This young man who just came in with Kasumi 
was dressed in white suite and looked really 
mature.  Perhaps it was Kasumi's boyfriend or 
something like that.

"Akane, don't be so rude to our guest, 
it's not very polite"

Kasumi told Akane after her explosion.  Akane 
looked like she wanted to argue with her, 
yell at the offending BOY to leave her house 
and never come back.  How dare he come to her own home.

Nabiki was waiting for something, probably 
an explanation of some sort.

"Well, I'm guessing that all of you want to 
know what I'm doing here"

"Well, you could say that"

"I was here because I was interested in the martial arts"

When Ranma said it, Nabiki was puzzled for a 
second than she remember that Ranma claimed 
to be a student of Anything Goes School himself.

'Of course, he must have seen the sign and 
came over here to investigate'

"Oh, son are you interested in learning 
Anything Goes?"

Soun asked perhaps hopefully.  It had been 
years since he had any students.  Only 
student he had were Akane and he doesn't 
even teach her anymore.

"No, actually I wanted to know where you 
learn the art"

"Why would you be interested in our family art!?!?!"

Akane asked Ranma with venom in her voice.  
If looks could kill, Ranma would have died 
and came back died again and came back and...

"It just interests me that there are martial 
arts schools with such funny and lousy name"

Ranma said it in response to Akane.  
He had no idea why he said it, after all 
he knew the art, his old man taught him 
that same style before he threw him into 
the pit of c..cc...c..cats!  Anyway, he 
had no idea why he said that, but he had 
a feeling he was doing it to anger this 
already angry girl.

"What!!! How dare you!!!  You come into 
our house and insult our school!?!?"

Akane was beyond angry now.  This boy 
who interfered with her fight just this 
morning, who did something really ugly 
in her school, and now this boy was insulting 
her family martial arts within her won home!

"I mean really, with the name like Anything 
Goes, I'm surprised that you don't have any students at all"

When he said it, everybody there looked 
little uncomfortable, even Nabiki.  Akane 
was getting more and more homicidal.  

'I'm going to kill this BOY!!!'

Ranma seeing their reaction knew that he 
hit the nail on the mark.  He was actually 
half guessing, but from what he observed 
from the way here, there was no sign of 
any number of people using the dojo, just
 one or two people.

"What gives you the right to say that?!?!  
You want to fight is that it!?!?!"

Akane was going to challenge this boy and 
beat him so bad that he'll have to admit 
that Anything Goes was just as good a 
martial arts school as any, no better 
than any.

"Is that a challenge?"

Ranma asked with half a smile and look of 
mirth in his eyes.

"YES!!!!  I'm GOING TO HURT YOU!!!"

Akane was up and ready for this fight.

'I'LL SHOW THIS BOY!!!!'

Nabiki was looking on with interested.  
She had no idea what Ranma was doing but 
it was really funny to watch her sister 
get all angry like that.  It seems Ranma 
already figured out all the right buttons 
to push.

Kasumi was looking on with well, smile.  
It seem that the polite young man in front 
of her was already in friendly terms with 
Akane.  She couldn't feel any real 
hostility from Ranma so she deducted that 
he was joking around with Akane.

Soun was looking at Ranma with what, who 
knew what goes in Soun's so called mind 
that was almost broken after the death of 
his wife.

"I refuse your challenge"

Ranma said this with calm and confidence 
that for a second they thought they miss 
heard it.  

Akane was shocked, she was ready to go and 
kick his boys butt, but he had the gall to 
decline the challenge!

"What, are you afraid that I'm going to 
beat you?  Are you scared of losing to a girl huh?"

Ranma knew that Akane was just trying to 
get him to fight, after all he worked for 
the Yakuza and he met many people who use 
the same tactic to anger the opponent to 
making a mistake or attacking them or stuff 
like that.

"No, I just don't like the idea of beating 
up on such unskilled person even if they are 
like an angry bull"

That comment made Akane see red.  He said 
that she was unskilled, her the best martial 
artist in the area.  And he insulted her 
looks.  He said she looked like a bull!

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Akane couldn't take it anymore and just 
launched herself and Ranma, ready to tear 
him limb from limb.  What she didn't expect 
him to do was actually move out of the way 
or fight back.  After all those bricks 
didn't fight back why should he?

Ranma saw what was about to happen and got 
himself ready for the up coming attack from 
this girl.  As soon as she made her move, 
he decided what to do.  When Akane got where 
Ranma was previously, he was no longer there.  
He had already gotten out of the way and was 
standing behind her.

"See what I mean?  If I fought you for real, 
you would have already lost.  You can't take 
me on, train for about at least another 
10 years before you come see me Miss stuck up 
princess"

Akane turned around so face she almost broke 
the sound barrier.  She had fires in her eyes.  
The boy was ridiculing her skill and he called 
her names.  She will make him pay!  So, Akane 
launched another attack.

This time Ranma decided to end it before the 
girl hurts herself.  It won't do to make a bad 
impression on that Kasumi girl.

So as soon as Akane was throwing her first 
punch, he was already out of the way and 
applied a pressure point behind her neck 
that put her to sleep.

"Well, that was certainly entertaining.  
Although this was not what I originally came 
here for, it was fun"

He said as he laid Akane down on the floor 
with surprising gentleness.  Than he turn 
towards Nabiki and asked her

"When she wakes up could you tell her to 
practice more?  I mean she really was bad.  
It looked as though she expected me to just 
stand there and get hit.  It seems it's getting 
late and I need to get back home"

Soun who was looking on silently till now 
finally spoke up.

"Could you tell me your name so that I can 
know who has just shown my daughter error of 
her training as well as ridicule my family art?"

Soun wasn't really all that angry with the youth.  
Akane really needed to learn that there will 
be better fighters than her and also there 
will be times that she just can't get out of 
using her fist.

"My name is Ranma Saotome"

That got more reaction from Soun than ever.  
His jaw just hit the floor and his eyes were 
looking like they were replaced by a plate.

"Did you say Saotome?"

'Oh great, what did that old fool do this time?'

Ranma had in the course of 10 years of his 
past life have met few people who had something 
bad done to them.  They all had one thing in 
common and that was that it was Genma Saotome 
who had done the bad thing.

"Yes, it's Saotome and before you ask, 
yes as in Genma Saotome"

Soun was looking like he was ready to cry, 
finally!

"Oh SON!"

With that Soun launch himself at Ranma, 
which Ranma thought that he was attacking 
him because of what Genma had done to him 
and also what he had just done to his daughter.

Ranma got out of the way and had to pull 
back his punch from landing at the back of his neck.

Soun having missed his hug, looked around 
until he found Ranma and said

"Finally you are here, now the school can
 be join!"

With that he started cry the cry of fountain.

End of Chapter 4


Next Chapter

Soun explains the deal with Genma to Ranma. 
 Ranma's reaction to the deal.  Akane's 
reaction to the deal.  Nabiki and Kasumi's 
reaction to the deal.
Ranma pass catching up with him.


Note.

This is something different from the regular 
Ranma1/2 stories.  I wanted to
try something different, after reading 
Crying Freeman and some other Yakuza
mangas, I thought, why not, let's make 
Ranma a Yakuza member, but that
really didn't work along with Ranma1/2 
story, so I decided to make Ranma go
to high school and stuff.  It seems fun.

How did Ranma become a Yakuza member?  
That will be answered later on, but
if you followed the anime and note what
 the Don said, it happened when he
was about 6, about the time of Cat-Fist 
training so this should give you
some hints.

Ranma does not have any more feelings 
towards Genma, he has been separated
from Genma for 10 years now, and been 
living as Yakuza personal for about
that much.  However, that doesn't mean 
that he doesn't have feeling for his
mother, even if it's for the curiosity 
of meeting what kind of person his
mother is he would want to find her.

Ranma 1/2

Ranma Yakuza

Chapter 5

Ranma was staring at the man before him 
who was crying his eyes out.  Before he 
went into his crying mode he said something 
about families being joined which Ranma didn't 
know what it meant.

'What's this guy crying for now?  Is he 
that upset that I beat his daughter?  Or 
is this about that idiot?'

Of course the scene before him wasn't all 
that unfamiliar, it had happened before as 
well.  Someone hears that he is Saotome and 
specifically Genma Saotome's son and they 
either go berserk or they start laughing or crying.

"Hey, Mr. Tendo are you ok?  What had he 
done this time?"

The two Tendo daughters were looking at 
their father with interest and curiosity.  
It's nothing new that their father was crying, 
he cried for a smallest things like Akane 
yelling at him but in front of complete and 
total stranger was something that didn't happen all that often.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Kasumi asked the father of the three daughter.

"Oh, I'm so glad you are here Ranma, now the 
two family can be joined!"

With that Soun went back to crying.

From that Ranma was able to basically 
figure out what happened and what Genma 
had done to him now.  This kind of thing 
happened before too.  Too many times in 
fact and Ranma had to deal with every one of them.

'Wander what the fool sold me for this time'

"Listen Mr. Tendo, I don't know what Genma 
sold me for or what he promised you, but it 
won't happen.  This won't work.  I'm going 
to tell you what I told all the other families 
that claimed that I am to marry their daughters.  
I won't do anything or fulfill any promises 
made by the honorless man"

Ranma made his statement calmly and coolly as 
if he was stating the weather.  However, this 
had the effect of stopping Soun from crying 
out of joy and look at Ranma.

"What did you say?"

"I said that I won't marry your daughter."

Ranma said it with an even tone.  

Sound looked as though he was thinking for 
a minute than he exploded.  

"YOU MUST IT IS A MATTER OF A FAMILY HONOR!!!"

Soun was about to go into his demon head 
attack mode.  This was very impressive attack 
to see up close and it had some power behind 
the attack which Soun used not too often anymore.

"I will not marry your daughters Mr. Tendo 
and that's final"

"YOU WILL!!!!"

With that he went into full demon head mode to try to make the youth submit under his will.  However, that tactic did not work for Ranma remained calm, raised his hand and casually and effectively stopped the demon head by punching him in the stomach hard.

Soon as Ranma's fist made contact with Soun's stomach the demon head was gone and Soun was back with his normal head except he was trying to fight for his air.  The punch was placed that it won't really do too much damage but it effectively rendered you useless because it made you spite out all the air in your lungs and had to fight to breath again.

"Now, that was a good trick, I give you that one Mr. Tendo, however it was a useless trick.  If you will explain to me what Genma Saotome has done to you and what you have given him, I will compensate for the damage that he has done accordingly"

As Ranma was talking, Soun couldn't believe that his Demon Head attack was defeated so easily.  Even the Master sometimes avoids conflict with his demon head attack.  However, this wasn't the time or place to wonder why his demon head attack was so useless against the boy.  He would have to convince the boy that the pact was honor bound and he will have to fulfill it.

"Ranma, this is a pact of family honor, you cannot back out of it.  It must be fulfilled in order to keep with the family honor.  Giri demand it"

Soun was proud of his explanation.  That should clear things up and let Ranma know that he couldn't not get out of this engagement.

Ranma was looking at Soun expecting more.  

'Either the man is complete idiot or he truly believes that the so called explanation really explain everything'

Ranma waited for Soun to continue and it seems all three of the Tendo girls were expecting more from Soun as well.  However, it seems like Soun was done with his explanation and was waiting for Ranma to say that he will marry one of his daughters.

"Mr. Tendo, what you just told me did not explain anything more than what you already told me.  From that only thing I can get out is that I was engaged to one of your daughter by Genma and now you, and I state this very clearly, you are the only one who thinks that the engagement is still valid"

"I'll have to agree with him Daddy, you are terrible at explaining things and you should definitely leave legal stuff to me"

Nabiki said after Ranma told Soun how little that explanation managed to clear up.

'I knew dad wasn't the brightest person in the world, but I didn't know he was this bad'

Throughout all this, Kasumi just kept on smiling, occasionally looking at Ranma.

"Mr. Tendo, unless you tell me exactly what happened and how the deal was made, I won't be able to properly compensate for the damage Genma has cost you"

"You don't understand Ranma, there was no damage.  It was a pact of honor!"

Soun stated again, hoping that this time it will be all cleared up.

"Mr. Tendo, you keep mentioning that it was a pact of honor.  Do you know how many other families that said the same thing to me?"

Ranma let that question hang for a while before answering.

"What do you mean?"

Soun was puzzled?  What is he talking about?"

"Well, Mr.Tendo, it seems that you really wasn't paying attention to what I was telling you.  So, let me tell you little about what has been happening.  You are not the first one to tell me that I am to marry your daughter.  You are not the first one to tell me that it is matter of family honor or that I was sold to them by one thing or another.  I lost count after 26.  I didn't bother to count after that"

'26?  Is he serious?'

Nabiki was thinking that Ranma must have had a miserable life.  Even she won't have gone that far as to sell or engage your son 26 or more times.

"Now, you are telling me Mr. Tendo that I am engaged to your daughter because of some family honor.  Well, to me it's just one of countless others that I need to solve and get over with.  So, what did Genma take from you and how was the deal made so that I can compensate for it and get it over with.  I don't like things like this hanging around me"

With that Ranma just looked at Soun with an expression that said, 'you better make it quick and clear to me what happened or else'.  It was an expression he used quite often when he was extracting information or deal out of people.

"Well, Ranma, it's like this..."

Soun was about to explain more when Kasumi walked up to them

"Would you like some tea while you two talk?"

"Thank you Kasumi I would like some tea"

"Ok, it will be right out"

Both Ranma and Soun watched as Kasumi went to go get some tea.

"Now Mr. Tendo, where were we?"

"Oh yes, the family pact... it was like this.  It was made even before you were born"

'The fool had sank lower than I have expected.  He sold me even before I was born?'

"You say that Genma sold me to you before I was even born?"

"No, Genma never sold you to me.  It wasn't anything like that.  It was a promise made of honor.  It was a glorious promises between two martial artist, two best friends!"

'He was friends with old fool?'

"Did you say you were friends with Genma?"

"Yes, we were the best of friends, why we even trained under the same...urk!"

When Soun was about to go into his flashback sequence concerning him and Genma and training journeys they went, it was stopped abruptly by Ranma.  Ranma when hearing that Soun was friends with Genma that he knew him before he was born, that the man trained with Genma he had to know.

"Do you know where he is now?  Or at least do you know where his wife is now?"

"..."

Soun couldn't say anything for couple of reasons.  First reason and the most immediate reason was that Ranma was choking him by holding him by his collar.  Second thing was the wild look in his eyes that scared him more than he was ever scared in his life.  The look went beyond anything the Master could have done.

"Oh my, Ranma I think you are choking my father"

Kasumi told Ranma as she was coming back with the tea.  Nabiki was about to interject but she didn't need to.  It seems that Kasumi had the uncanny ability to show up when she was needed.

"I'm sorry... I just need to know..."

Ranma said as he was letting go of Soun.  Soon as Ranma let go of him, Soun started to fight for his breath again.  This was the second time that this young man in front of him caused him to fight for his breath.

Nabiki was thinking.  It seems that Ranma had something that he wanted to know... that was too weak of a word, Ranma had something that he needed to know.  Something to do with Genma and his wife.  Although it's really strange how Ranma always refereed to his father as Genma it seems that he is looking for him and his wife.

'I wonder how I can turn this into my advantage...'

Nabiki started to make plans as to how to turn this into her advantage and how to make money out of it or future investment like getting the services of Ranma for a long time to come.

"Here you go Ranma, father"

Kasumi set down the tea set on the table and stepped back to sit down along side of Nabiki.

"So, Mr. Tendo, do you know where Genma or his wife is now?"

Ranma asked Soun, trying not to put too much emotion or desperation into his voice.  Ranma didn't really care for Genma.  His Yakuza boss was looking for him and sooner or later they will find him.  He just wanted Genma so that he can make him pay.  However, his mother was a different story.  Over the past 10 years Genma has been spotted many times by them, he wasn't that hard to find but he was little difficult to catch.  However, his mother they couldn't even come close to finding.  They haven't gotten any clue at all about his mother.  She wasn't in Ranma's birth record and Ranma himself didn't know her name.  It was hard to find someone who you didn't know what she looked like, where she lived, or the name of the person.

Soun had no idea where Genma was now.  He didn't stay in touch with him.  Actually they haven't talked to each other since Genma left with Ranma to go on his training.  He didn't know where Nodoka was either.  Soun was about to tell Ranma that when he was hit with a pure brilliance that it was hard to imagine that he thought of it.

"Ranma, I will tell you about your mother and father if you accept the engagement to one of my daughters!"

With that said, Soun crossed his arm over his chest and waited.

Nabiki was actually shocked when Soun said it.

'I can't believe dad is actually showing some business sense.  I can't believe dad actually thought of that'

Kasumi of course was looking at Ranma and her father with smile. 

'Hope everything works out well for Ranma... he is such a nice young man'

Akane was of course still out cold.

Ranma couldn't believe that the man in front of him was doing this to him.  Almost 10 years of searching and not even finding a clue, and now this man in front of him knew about his mother and he won't tell him unless he accepted some ridiculous engagement to his daughter.

Ranma of course knew many ways to making the man talk, but he couldn't very well do that.  He was supposed to be staying out of trouble and the incident with Kuno today has already gotten him under the microscope.  If he did something to Soun or any of his daughter today, it will be pushing his luck.

"Mr. Tendo, I already told you that I will not marry your daughter"

"I'm sorry Ranma than I cannot tell you about your father and mother"

'I'm going to kill him.  I'm going to kill him in the most painful way I know!'

Ranma was screaming inside.  He so much wanted to know about his mother, but he didn't want to get engaged to some girl because Genma sold him or made a promise to some crummy guy!

"Mr. Tendo I already told you that I will not marry your daughter because some promise that Genma made..."

"Did I forget to mention that the promise was also made between your mother and my wife?"

"What?!?"

That was repeated by two people in the room.  

'Mom made that kind of promise with Ranma's mother?'

Nabiki was thinking.  As far as she knew, her mother wasn't that kind of person but her father just said...  It's not like her father to lie like that so it must be true but...

'So, mom is no different from Genma is she?  I can't believe this!  I thought she would be different.  What was I expecting, after all she married him!'

Ranma couldn't believe it, after 10 years of searching and learning that the woman you were looking for was no different than your father.

"Nodoka was a good friends with Kimiko.  They were friends since they were little.  It was actually their idea that the families get together.  They made the honor pact and Genma and I included the school part"

"Excuse me Mr. Tendo what did you say?  Did you say that the family pact was made by my mother and your wife?"

"Yes, it was made by Nodoka and Kimiko first than we added the school part.  They were such a good friends they wanted to see their children becoming as close as them.  It was quite beautiful."

'My mother made a pact with Mrs. Tendo...  With now I have a name to go with.  It's either Nodoka or Kimiko but from what he said, I'm sure her name is Nodoka.  Nodoka Saotome...  I wonder what her family name was before she got married to him...'

'I can't believe mommy made that kind of deal with some woman.  I can't believe daddy didn't tell us about this till now!'

Kasumi wasn't all that surprised about the news.  She generally had a good view of the world and she liked the young man in front of her.  He had a nice aura about him and also he wasn't all that bad looking either.  However, one of the main thing was that she remembered her mother talking about her best friend and also a woman with a baby visiting them couple times.

"My mother, her name is Nodoka isn't it?  Do you know where she is now?"

"You mother's name is Nodoka, however I will not tell you any more until you accept the engagement"

'What do I do?  What should I do?'

Ranma was indecisive.  He couldn't make up his mind.  If his mother was just like Genma, than this pact was nothing more than a lie, however if it was not, than he had to go with it, till he find his mother.

"Tell me more about the pact"

"Well, Genma and I..."

"Not that pact!  I want to know more about the family pact that my mother and your wife made.  And if you would please let your wife know that I would like to talk to her"

When Ranma said that the room went silent.  Ranma could feel the dread and sadness in the room.  From that Ranma knew something was wrong and he knew it.

'Oh... I guess that explains a little as to why Kasumi open the door for me and why Akane is the way she is...'

"I'm sorry I did not know"

When Ranma said it, Soun, Nabiki, and Kasumi was rather surprised.  They didn't say anything yet, they were going to tell him about it, but they didn't say anything yet.  However, Ranma was able to figure out that their mother/wife was dead without even hearing about it.

"It was her dying wish son of her best friend wed to one of her daughter"

Soun said it with choked voice it was hard to miss the emotion in his voice.  Nabiki and Kasumi heard it.  They rarely hear it these days since he either just cries or does not pay attention to things.  It was a voice with real emotion in it and not just some over active emotion.

'was it really?  Was it really mommy's dying wish?'

Nabiki was thinking, it seems that her father was revealing things today that they didn't know about and most likely would have gone on without knowing if Ranma didn't drop by tonight.  There so much about her mother that she didn't know about.

"Your mother and my wife promised each other that their children will marry each other and continue their friendship.  My wife made me promise that I will fulfill that promise on her deathbed.  I already had plans about you and our family because of the pact to join the school, so I promised her.  Now we can fulfill that promise."

"Was it really the dying wish of your wife?  Is that the true reason why my mother and your wife made that pact?"

Ranma wanted to make sure, he was about to make a decision that will affect him greatly and one other person and he didn't want to make foolish one like how Genma always seem to be making.

"Yes it was.  You were too young to remember, but your mother visited my wife on her deathbed and they strengthen that promise.  You were probably about 4 years old because that was how old Akane was when Kimiko died"

"So, this isn't some kind of silly deal Genma made by selling me or anything like that?  It was a deal made between two best friend and also a dying wish of your wife?"

"Yes... it was the dying wish of my late wife..."

"Are you telling me that this is really a matter of honor?  Not some phony deal that Genma made with you?"

"Ranma, I don't know what you've faced before, however, this engagement between you and one of my daughter is a real pact between two families, and also two best friends as well as a dying wish of my wife"

Ranma had to think for this one.  He had never faced this kind of situation before.  Before all the other engagements were really easy to break off or take care of because they were fake and completely honorless.  They were made to fill that fat idiot Genma's stomach and nothing to worry about.  But if what Soun is telling is true, than this is actually a matter of honor.  He could careless about the family honor, he really no longer considered himself Saotome anyway.  However, it was his mother who made the deal with another woman and that woman made a death wish for it to be fulfilled.

Contrary to some popular beliefs, Yakuza's are high on honor.  This is why one is so loyal to one's boss.  This is why one never betrays the one's family.  This is why many have offered their little finger or even thumb to make up for lost honor.  

"Mr. Tendo, I'm not sure how much of this I can believe, but..."

Ranma didn't get to go any further because Kasumi interrupted them.  This was something very unlike Kasumi to interrupt them for anything besides asking if they needed more tea or such.

"Ranma, I think what father told you is the truth.  I remember when mother was alive she was visited often by a woman.  Friendly and kind woman who would often bring with her a child who was about Akane's age.  I think that was you..."

'I can't believe this, Kasumi actually remembers Ranma and his family?'

Nabiki was really surprised, she doesn't remember this at all.  Considering that she was about 3 years old when these things happened it wasn't all that surprising.  Nodoka visited Kimiko with Ranma when Ranma was about 2 years old, time before Kimiko got sick.  

Kasumi remembers this because she was exceptionally smart and still is.  She remembered how a woman with a child about Akane's age will visit her mother.  Kasumi also remembered how kind the woman was.

"Yes Ranma, it is all true what I've told you.  So you must fulfill the pact"

Ranma was in his thinking mode.  This was just too much to handle for one day.  He thought he was starting some boring day going to some boring high school when he was challenged by an idiot and had to put up with police and school officials as well as stuck up princess.  Now he was faced with honor pact to marry one of his mother's best friend's daughters.

"Mr. Tendo, this is all too much to handle for me right now.  I'm not sure what I can say right now, but I'll think about it"

"Of course, it must be too much for you to take in all at once Ranma"

Kasumi said before Soun can say anything.  Kasumi thought that Ranma was a nice young man and that he really shouldn't be rushed into things like this.

Now Nabiki was making plans again.

'It seems that Ranma might be getting engaged to one of us.  Hmm... it won't be Akane, it seems that Akane has some dislike for Ranma and Ranma won't consider marry her.  It won't be Kasumi since she likes older men.  Beside, everybody knows that Dr. Tofu likes her.  So it will probably be me that will get to marry him.  I'll have to find out all I can about him before getting too deeply involved in this.  He is cute though...'

"Thank you Kasumi, I do need some time to think about this...  Mr. Tendo, how about I get back to you tomorrow with an answer?  I'm not really sure what I'm suppose to think or what I'm suppose to do, but I'll think it over tonight and give you an answer tomorrow.  How about it?"

"That will be fine Ranma"

Once again, Kasumi answered for Soun.  This was indeed strange event in the Tendo household.  Kasumi interrupting her father time and time again to answer questions that was actually directed towards her father.

"Oh, Mr. Tendo, did you happen to know my mother's maiden name?"

"I'm sorry Ranma, I never knew her maiden name.  She always introduced herself as Nodoka Saotome"

"You won't happen to know where she is now would you?"

"No, I'm sorry.  Ever since Kimiko died and Genma left for the training trip, I haven't heard from your mother at all.  I'm sorry."

"That's ok Mr. Tendo.  Well, it's getting really late and I do need to get back.  I'll be back tomorrow with an answer.  It was an interesting time here and thanks for telling me about my mother"

"Your welcome Ranma, and don't forget to come back tomorrow."

"I won't"

He was getting up to leave the room and the house when he turn toward Kasumi and gave her a hug.  It was really something that he didn't intend on doing but he just had too.  The girl was just too nice and it was also her that mentioned about seeing him with his mother and her mother being a kind person.

"Thank you Kasumi for everything."

"Your welcome"

Kasumi was smiling but she was also blushing as well.  This was the first time beside her father that any man had ever hugged her.

Nabiki was of course jealous.  Her older sister was actually hugging the handsome young man who probably will be her fiancée.

Ranma let go of the hung and was about to leave when Nabiki walked up to her.

"Ranma, I need to talk to you"

"Oh?"

"Walk with me"

Ranma not really knowing what Nabiki wanted walked with her to the door.

"Well Ranma, that was certainly very interesting.  I never imagined that I might be engaged to you, however it was very interesting turn of event"

"Oh, yeah, interesting"

"I also would have never thought that my family and your family might know each other"

"That was surprising.  I guess that answers my question"

"Huh?  What question?"

"Oh it was nothing.  I just asked myself before I came in if I was just destined to meet every Tendo in Japan or if I had some kind of connection with Tendos.  It seems that I really do have some kind of connection with the Tendo after all"

"Interesting.  However, it still doesn't change the fact that you are working for me and also that you are going to be taking me out to that new restaurant this weekend.  So, dress nicely and I'll see you tomorrow at school"

With that Nabiki gave him a hug and went into the house before Ranma can react to it.

'Hmmm... that was very interesting.  I almost forgot about that deal we made today because of all that just happened.  Oh I have to get back to the house and make few phone calls.  Now we actually have a name to go with a person.  It might help the search.  Nodoka Saotome...  Mom...'

With that Ranma headed towards the house that he is staying in.

Inside...

"Well Ranma, if we are going to get engaged, 
I suppose that I should start working to 
find out all about you"

Nabiki said as she was walking up to her room.

Kasumi was thinking how nice it was that 
after such a long time, someone like 
Ranma showed up and finally bringing 
some life back into her family.  It did 
hurt that he was such a polite and nice 
young man.  It also didn't hurt that he 
was very handsome.

Akane didn't have any opinion to the 
engagement because she was out cold during 
the hold thing.  She was dreaming of beating 
and teaching the arrogant boy a lesson.  
However, when she wakes up, she was in for 
a rude awakening.

End of chapter 5


Next Chapter

Ranma goes to school for the second day.  
Does what he did to Kuno actually matter to 
most people?  Ranma gives his answer to the 
Tendo's and someone from Ranma's past or is it 
Genma's past shows up.


Note.

Thanks to my pre-readers.  They gave me 
hints and stuff.  However, I didn't really 
get to correct lot of the spelling and grammar 
mistakes because I lost their email because I 
use AOL and they decided that I had that mail 
long enough and deleted for me.  Thank you anyways.

I know that's not how the engagement thing 
happened but I needed a reason for Ranma 
to stay near the Tendos and I needed a 
reason for Ranma to accept it.  I also 
needed something to make Ranma think that 
Nodoka was much better than Genma and also 
I needed to do this for the future shoreline 
so do not kill me for getting to much off the 
track.  

I know some might say that Nabiki was out 
of character, but I'm building her personality 
different from the other fanfic writers as well 
as Kasumi.  Expect much change to Akane's 
personality as well.  

Now, here is my question

1. Should I or should I not bring the Amazons into this story?

2. Should I or should I not bring Ryoga 
into this story?

3. Should I or should I not bring Ukyou 
into this story?

4. Which girl should get Ranma?  Name 
5. only the girls in Ranma1/2 universe, 
6. Sailor Moon, or Oh My goddess.  
7. This is probably not going to be a 
8. major crossover if ever.  However, 
9. I think some of those girls can make 
10. an appearance if requested.

This is something different from the 
regular Ranma1/2 stories.  I wanted to
try something different, after reading 
Crying Freeman and some other Yakuza
mangas, I thought, why not, let's make
 Ranma a Yakuza member, but that
really didn't work along with Ranma1/2 
story, so I decided to make Ranma go
to high school and stuff.  It seems fun.

How did Ranma become a Yakuza member?  
That will be answered later on, but
if you followed the anime and note what 
the Don said, it happened when he
was about 6, about the time of Cat-Fist 
training so this should give you
some hints.

Ranma does not have any more feelings 
towards Genma, he has been separated
from Genma for 10 years now, and been 
living as Yakuza personal for about
that much.  However, that doesn't mean 
that he doesn't have feeling for his
mother, even if it's for the curiosity 
of meeting what kind of person his
mother is he would want to find her.

Ranma 1/2

Ranma Yakuza

Chapter 6


It was a beautiful morning which seem to 
say nothing wrong or exciting happen the 
day before.  Usually about this time 
of the morning, a girl who practice martial 
arts will be returning home from 
her jog.  However, this morning, that
 event did not occur.

The said girl was still knocked out in the 
bedroom where her sister has placed her 
after the incident with Ranma.

"Oh... what hit me?"

Akane woke up groggily and feeling 
uncomfortable.  Although her sister tried 
to make her feel comfortable as possible 
before putting her to bed, that fight, if 
it can be called that had cost her.  
Although the pressure point that Ranma had 
used to knock her out wasn't physically 
dangerous, however it does leave the person 
feeling like he had been drunk the night 
before and is now having the worst hang over ever.

Akane wasn't sure what was going on, 
she wasn't exactly sure how she got to 
her room in her bed.  She started to get 
up to get ready for school when she 
remembered what happen the night before.

"I'LL KILL HIM!"

With that she stormed down stairs expecting 
to find that BOY so she can deliver her 
vengeance upon him who had done her wrong.

'How dare he!  How dare he insult my school, 
how dare he insult me, how dare he insult 
my skill, and how dare he call me a bull!'

She stormed into the living room, ready to 
kill only to find her sister setting the 
table for breakfast.

"Well, good morning Akane.  How did you 
sleep last night?"

"Good morning Kasumi, do you know where 
that jerk is right now?"

"What do you mean Akane?"

"The jerk!  The idiot!  The bane of humanity!"

"Kasumi, I think she means Ranma"

"RANMA!!!!"

"Oh my.  I don't think it's very lady like 
for you to call your possible fiancee all 
those names Akane"

'Great Kasumi, break it to her real easy 
why don't you?'

What Kasumi said hadn't register into 
Akane mind yet, she was on one of her 
modes that went, no rational thought but 
only anger mode.  However, it did somehow 
made it to the rational side of her head 
and that stopped her from her steam roller mode.

"What did you say Kasumi?"

"What our elder sister said Akane, was 
that it wasn't lady like to call your 
possible fiancee all those names"

"FIANCEE?"

"Yes, it turns out that somehow Ranma is 
to be engaged to one of us"

"What are you two talking about?"

"Well, Akane, since you weren't wake at 
the time, what with your impressive 
showing of your martial arts skill, you 
missed a lot"

Akane had to growl at Nabiki's comment about 
her martial arts skill.  It wasn't her fault
 that the jerk cheated.  It wasn't her fault 
that he attacked her when she wasn't ready.

"Well, Akane, it turns out Ranma's parents 
and our parents had made some sort of 
agreement to unite the house"

"No way!  And you two are actually going 
to go along with this?  Dad probably made 
the agreement when he was drunk!"

"No Akane, it wasn't father's idea to 
start with.  It was mother's last wish 
before she died"

That stopped Akane cold.  Almost anything 
Kasumi could have said would have been 
better, but when Kasumi said it was her 
their' mother's last wish, Akane couldn't 
help but feel lost.  

"Mom?  Are you sure?"

"Yes Akane, apparently Kasumi remembers 
something like that too.  You know how 
she was older then us and she hung around 
a lot in the kitchen with mom.  It seems 
that Kasumi remembers things like that, 
and she also remember Ranma from when 
he was younger"

"Huh?"

Akane was lost.  Nabiki just said 
something about remembering Ranma from 
when he was younger.  But that can't be 
right, they just met him yesterday.

"Akane, Ranma's family and our family 
has been friends for a long time.  I 
remember mother having a visitor from a 
nice lady and her young son Ranma"

"What?  I don't remember any of this!"

"Well, you were pretty young at the time.  
You were almost 6 and Nabiki 7.  I was 9 
and I was with mother a lot of times in 
the kitchen trying to help"

Akane had to think, if that's true, that
 means that she know the jerk from a 
long time ago.  It also means that the 
might be engaged to a jerk.  But it 
couldn't be helped if it was her mother's last wish.

"Oh my, I have to finish preparing the 
breakfast, excuse me"

With that Kasumi went back into the 
kitchen to finish the preparation.

That left Akane and Nabiki in the living room.  
Akane wanted to ask more questions but couldn't 
think of any and she needed to think.  
However, Nabiki broke her train of t
hought before they could go further

"Akane, you should get ready for school if 
you want to get there on time for your daily exercise"

With that Nabiki went back up stairs to get 
ready for school as well as her business.

Now alone, Akane went to the bathroom to 
wash up.  However, she was in automatic mode. 
 Her body was doing what they were suppose 
to do while her mind was elsewhere.

She was thinking about Ranma, her mother, 
and the engagement to the jerk.  She was 
sure that Ranma will chose her.  She 
was after all the desire of all the male 
population of Furinkin High school.  
She didn't want to be engaged to that jerk.

She needed to come up with a plan to get 
him to not chose her.  Already the day has 
started off bad for her.

Later...

"Akane, I can't believe they actually got 
a hit on you today"

It was lunchtime and she was talking 
with her friend Yuka and Sayuri and Akane 
was also sporting a black eye.  During 
the fight this morning, she was so distracted 
and because of the pressure point that 
Ranma used, she was not very effective 
that one from the baseball team had 
managed to tag her with a baseball.

This did not go unnoticed by everybody who 
was fighting and also watching from the 
sidelines.  However, being hit with the 
baseball made Akane come to senses very 
quickly and pummel the boy into a pulp 
before getting into the other boys.

Lucky for Akane, Kuno was in the hospital 
recovering from what Ranma had done to him.  
He was already seeking the best plastic 
surgeon from the world to fix his forehead 
and also other doctors to fix his fingers.

Speaking of that incident, the students 
didn't seem to mind what happen to Kuno 
at all.  It seems that people had either 
already forgotten what Ranma did to Kuno 
or they really didn't care because 
right now, Ranma was surrounded by girls 
who were throwing questions at him.

Akane wanted to go to him right now 
and beat him for what he did to her 
last night and also showing up in her 
life to present even more complication 
then before.  This engagement business 
also needed to be taken care of.

Akane was about to get up and go to where 
Ranma was when someone beat her to it.  It was Nabiki.

'What's she doing?  Is she going to tell 
him off about the engagement?'

Akane watched as Nabiki walked up to 
Ranma and then Ranma and Nabiki walked 
off together to some place.

'What are they?  It's probably Ranma.  
He's going to seduce Nabiki!'

With that thought angry Akane decided to 
follow the couple.  People who saw this 
event unfold came up with their own 
interpretation and as quickly as rumor can, it spread.

...

"So, Nabiki what do you want?"

After being asked to follow her, Ranma 
walked with Nabiki to the place they 
talked before.  It was quickly becoming 
their place to conduct business.

"I wanted to talk to you about what happened last night"

"Listen, I told you that I'll give my 
answer about the engagement tonight when I go back to your house"

"I know that, that's not what I wanted to 
talk about.  I wanted to talk to you about Akane"

"Huh?  Stuck up princess?  What about her?"

Akane who followed the two almost ran out 
at them when she heard Ranma call her names.

'I'll make him pay, I will make him pay'

Akane was steaming with anger but she 
decided to listen in more and try to 
get something on him that she can use against him.

"Well, it seems that Akane is not very 
happy with you and you should know that.  
I also wanted to know why you are not 
going after her like everybody else is"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you must have noticed that there 
are guys fighting for her every morning 
and even after what you did to Kuno, 
they are still pursuing her like they 
do everyday.  So, why aren't you?"

"Hmm... you are asking me why I'm not 
going after your sister like everyone 
else is...  Well, the truth of the 
matter is Nabiki, that I'm not that 
impressed with your sister at all.  
She can be cute, but she isn't.  She 
is too angry and too immature and 
selfish to be anything more than a 
little girl who has still yet to develop 
into womanhood.  I'm not interested in going after a child"

'Now that was harsh, although mostly 
correct, I can't believe he saw thorough my sister'

"Ranma I can't believe..."

That was as far as Nabiki got before a 
loud yell forced her to turn and look at 
the direction that the yell came from.

Akane was mad, she heard what Ranma said and she was seeing red.

'How dare he!  I'm going to kill him!'

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

With her battle cry, she launched 
herself at Ranma ready to tear him 
apart with her bare hand.  Only problem 
with that was when she landed Ranma 
wasn't there.  Suddenly she felt something 
on her back and she couldn't move.  
Then she heard Ranma's voice.

"Listen miss snob of the world.  
I don't know what you were thinking 
sneaking around spying on us.  What 
I said about you is true and you know 
it, Nabiki knows it, and pretty soon 
everybody around here will know it 
too.  You are nothing but a selfish 
little girl who has always gotten 
what she wanted and can't stand against 
the reality.  You are as much 
delusional as that Kuno guy.  You 
fancy yourself as martial artist, 
but from what I see, you are nothing 
but an amateur.  Why don't you give 
it a rest and develop your figure and 
be a good girl instead of trying to 
be something that you are not"

With that he pushed some more pressure point 
to unlock Akane's body.  Akane fell to her 
knees, the pressure point made her not 
strong enough to get up and attack him. 
 She had to settle for glare of death.  
She glared at him as if her life depended 
on him, as is she was willing him to die 
with her glare.

He just looked back at her with casual 
look, and then dismissed her with his 
eyes when he turned it away from her.

"I'm going to kill you!"

"I'm sure you'll try"

"I'll make you pay!"

"Like I said before, I'm sure you'll try, 
but you'll fail.  You were never my match, 
you will never be my match even if you 
train none stop for the rest of your life"

With that Ranma started to walk away from the place.

"Get back here you jerk!  I'm not done with you!"

Ignoring Akane, Ranma continue to walk away 
until he couldn't hear Akane yelling anymore.

When Ranma was gone from the sight, Akane 
started to get up but what Ranma did to her 
made her still too weak to walk on her own.  
Nabiki helped her up.

Of course Nabiki was thinking that Ranma 
was too hard on her sister, but she was 
glad to see someone standing up to Akane 
and show her for what she was, a spoiled brat.

However, she had to change her mind a little 
when she saw tears coursing down Akane's cheek.

Akane was humiliated and Akane's pride was hurt.

"Akane, let's go back home.  I don't think 
you can handle school right now"

Akane wanted to disagree with Nabiki, but 
Nabiki won't hear of it and they both headed 
back to Tendo home.

Later...

Ranma was walking away from school after 
the last bell had rang.  It seems that 
Akane and Nabiki didn't come back to school 
and he had an idea why.

'May be I was too hard on her?'

But he shock that thought off real fast.  
He was an elite member of Yakuza.  His 
bosses most trusted man.  He had done 
things that are far worse then that to many 
people and never felt any guilt.  Well, that's 
not true, he had always felt some guilt, but 
he ignored it.

However, what he did today kept coming 
back to his mind.  Something about that 
girl made him feel sorry for her.  It 
could be because she had lost her mother 
when she was so young, like him.

"I must be getting soft in this neighbor, 
and it has only been two days"

With that he continued his way back to the 
apartment that he was staying at.  He had 
things to think about, and he also promised 
Soun Tendo, that he'll be back to give his answers.

He knew he was going to accept the offer, 
at least until he found his mother and see 
what kind of person she is then, after that 
he'll make up his mind about getting married.

However, until then he would just go 
along with the engagement.  He just had 
to chose a girl to be engaged to.

Elsewhere...

"Saotome, I'll have my revenge and I'll 
have it soon.  You just wait!"

Tendo Dojo...

Akane was in the dojo breaking bricks.  
She was going double time.  In order 
for her to beat Ranma and humiliate 
him like how he did it to her, she needed 
to practice and she needed to break more bricks.

'I'll show him.  I'll show him good'

Nabiki was of course in her room going 
through the books and seeing how much 
money she made.  She was also planning 
her date with Ranma this weekend.

'Hmm... what should I wear?  Where 
did that thought come from?'

Nabiki was rather surprised with 
herself.  She wasn't usually kind 
of person who worried about what to 
wear.  She was Nabiki and what she 
were was always something that people 
accepted right away.

'Well, thinking about what to wear 
can't hurt'

Kasumi was making dinner.  She was 
thinking about the event that has 
passed yesterday and was also 
thinking about the woman that 
visited her mother with a little boy.

'I wish I can remember more to help Ranma'

All three Tendo daughters were all 
deeply engaged at they were doing when they heard a knock.

'It must be Ranma!'

All three daughters thought at the 
same time.  Two were happy to see 
him, one wanted to kill him.

Later...

After settling down on the living 
room, Soun asked Ranma right away 
about the engagement.  Of course 
Soun didn't have any doubt that 
Ranma will accept it, after all 
it was for the school.

"Well, Mr. Tendo, I thought about 
it long and hard and I decided that 
I will have to accept it..."

Ranma didn't get to go further 
because he was interrupted.

"I knew it!  You are just a pervert 
looking to take advantage of us!"

Akane blew up at Ranma when she 
heard that he was going to accept 
the engagement.  She was sure Ranma 
was going to pick her and she'll 
show him that he can't have her or 
her sisters involved with his perverted plans.

"Akane!"

That stopped her cold.  It was not 
from her father, but it was from her 
sister Kasumi.  She had never heard 
Kasumi use that tone of voice before 
and it scared her a little.

"Interrupting a guest when he is speaking 
is not very polite"

Kasumi finished with her usual gentle 
voice that people around the table had 
doubts about the tone of voice they heard 
just a moments ago.

"Ranma will you continue?"

Kasumi said it with gentle smile that 
Ranma had hard time saying no to.

"Well, as I was saying before being 
interrupted by a little girl..."

"LITTLE GIRL!"

Akane was going to teach him a lesson 
when she saw the look she was getting 
from around the table.  She had no choice 
but to quite down.

'I'll teach you a lesson you'll never 
forget for turning my family against me'

Akane was back to glaring daggers at him, 
hopping that her glare of dagger will 
really have an effect of real daggers.

"As I was saying, I decided to accept 
the engagements, however, I'm not sure 
which girls to get engaged to.  Both of 
your daughters are very beautiful and nice.  
However, I don't know them very well, 
and therefore I can't chose.  So, I 
decided to not make any decisions at 
this point, until I get to know both 
of your daughters better"

Soun wanted to object, but he couldn't 
see the fault in that logic.  He wanted 
Ranma to chose one right now so they can 
have the wedding tomorrow.

Then something hit him.

"Ranma, I have three daughters don't 
you mean all three and not two?"

"No Mr. Tendo.  I said two and I meant 
two.  I'm not interested in spoiled 
little girl who has yet to grow up both 
mentally and physically"

"YOU DARE!"

Akane didn't care anymore.  She had 
enough, he insulted her again and again 
and she couldn't take it anymore.  She 
got up to attack when she felt someone 
touch her neck.  Just before she passed 
out, she saw that it was Kasumi who had done it.

'How?'

That was last thought before she passed out.

Everybody, except Ranma, was surprised at what Kasumi had done.

"Daughter, what did you do?  How did you?"

"Sis, when did you learn to do something like that?"

Ranma noted that the pressure point 
technique was the same one he used on Akane last night.

'Hmm...interesting, she picked it up after 
watching me do it once'

"Well, I saw what Ranma did last night 
and I just did it exactly the same.  
Of course, those books I borrow from 
Dr. Tofu helped me understand what it was doing"

Nabiki and Soun just stared at Kasumi.  
They would have never guessed that Kasumi 
would know something like that.

"Well, it seems that Ranma has made his decision father"

With that Kasumi try to bring the topic 
back to the subject of engagement.

"Oh yes, Ranma, I'm not sure if that is 
such a great idea.  How long will you 
wait before choosing one?"

"I'm not sure Mr. Tendo, as long as I 
think it is necessary to decide who I 
want to get married.  Also, we have to 
take their feelings into consideration as well"

Soun really couldn't disagree with that 
either, so he decided to let him get 
away with it today.  But that doesn't 
mean that he can't push for it later on.

"Well, it seems that the matter is settle 
than for now.  When will you be moving in Ranma?"

"Excuse me?"

"Of course now that the engagement is 
official, you'll have to move in with us 
to get to know your fiancees.  Don't you 
agree Ranma?  How else will you get to know them better?"

Ranma was about to disagree with Nabiki spoke up.

"What a wonderful idea daddy"

"It will be great to have one more person 
in the house"

Ranma saw that he was being out numbered 
by three to one and decided to just agree with it for now.

"I'll try to move in as soon as possible"

"Well, then, you'll move in tomorrow"

"Tomorrow?"

"Yes, that is after all if you want 
to move in tonight?"

"No, tomorrow will do just fine"

'What have I gotten myself into?'

Ranma thought as he heard Soun talk 
about the living arrangement.

Elsewhere...

"Saotome, soon, I will have your head on a stick!"

End of chapter 6


Next Chapter

Ranma moves in to the Tendo home.  Ranma 
forgets about his Yakuza stuff and guess 
who finds them in Ranma's room.


Note.

Thanks to my pre-readers, they are great 
help and they do a lot of things that I
 never thought that they actually do.

Well, many people might think most characters 
by now are way out of character, maybe except
 for Soun.  Well that is true, 
but this is not the original Ranma1/2 and 
expect more people to be out of character.

Now, here is my question and most popular answers

1. Should I or should I not bring the Amazons into this story?  

Lot of people answered that they don't know 
how.  I have said before that the boss had 
Ranma trained around the world.  He could 
have even been trained under Cologne for a 
time.  Cologne could come back with her star 
pupil to put her against the finest in Yakuza.

2. Should I or should I not bring Ryoga into 
this story?

People told me that yes, I should bring 
Ryoga into the story as Ranma's rival.  
That is so overly used.  I don't actually 
see Ryoga as Ranma's rival even in the original. 
 Sure they fight all the time and sure Ranma 
never wins easy with Ryoga, well, some times 
Ranma wins easy.  But Ranma never uses his 
full strength and skills.  However, I'll be 
bringing Ryoga into the story.

3. Should I or should I not bring Ukyou into 
this story?

Many people asked me how that is possible 
if Ranma was member of Ukyou.  I think I 
said that Ranma was trained under Neko 
Ken when he was 6 here.  That is because 
in the anime, Genma explains 
that the Neko Ken happen in the summer of 
Ranma's 6 year.  People told me that's 
not true and I watch that anime, it's where 
Shampoo shows up as a cat, 3 times 
in one day to make sure.  I even watched it 
with 6 different people to make 
sure they heard the same thing as me.  So 
those who said that in the anime that 
Ranma learned neko ken when he was ten, you 
can suck on it.  I believe it might 
have been the manga that made it that he was 
10, but I think even in manga he was 6.

Anyway, Ranma met Ukyou before Neko Ken.

4. Which girl should get Ranma?  Name 
5. only the girls in Ranma1/2 universe, 
6. Sailor Moon, or Oh My goddess.  This 
7. is probably not going to be a major 
8. crossover if ever.  However, I think some 
9. of those girls can make an appearance if requested.

Well, many people seem to not like any of 
the Ranma1/2 girls getting Ranma.  
They just can't see them with a Yakuza 
member of Ranma.  However, anything is possible.  
Although most popular was Nabiki.

This is something different from the 
regular Ranma1/2 stories.  I wanted to
try something different, after reading 
Crying Freeman and some other Yakuza
mangas, I thought, why not, let's make 
Ranma a Yakuza member, but that
really didn't work along with Ranma1/2
 story, so I decided to make Ranma go
to high school and stuff.  It seems fun.

How did Ranma become a Yakuza member?  
That will be answered later on, but
if you followed the anime and note what 
the Don said, it happened when he
was about 6, about the time of Cat-Fist 
training so this should give you
some hints.

Ranma does not have any more feelings 
towards Genma, he has been separated
from Genma for 10 years now, and been 
living as Yakuza personal for about
that much.  However, that doesn't mean 
that he doesn't have feeling for his
mother, even if it's for the curiosity 
of meeting what kind of person his
mother is he would want to find her.

Ranma 1/2

Ranma Yakuza

Chapter 7

It was once again a beautiful morning which seem to
say nothing was wrong or exciting happen the day before.
strangely enough it was almost an exact replica of the day before.

And almost exactly like the day before, a young girl was slow
to rise after being carried to her bedroom after being knocked
out the night before.

“Oh… what hit me?”

It seems that the girl was saying that a lot lately.

Akane woke up groggily and felt once again miserable.
She felt like she had multiple of tiny little men inside her
head with little hammers pounding away.

Akane decided that it might be a good idea for her to
get to the bathroom and take a warm bath to get rid of
this headache that she was having.

As soon as she was in the furo, already feeling the headache
going away, she recalled what happened the night before.

“NO!”

She remembered that her new worst enemy was somehow
engaged to the Tendo girls.

However, that was not all, after the knowledge of being
engaged came to the surface, she saw that he rejected her.

He rejected her outright and in definite terms that left 
no room for errors.  He had insulted her personally.

“How dare he!”

Akane was not boiling mad and she had to do something
to get rid of this anger that was boiling inside of her.

She stepped out of the furo, furiously dried herself and
got dressed to go to the dojo to break some bricks.

As she was headed for the dojo, she past by the kitchen
where her sister was working to prepare breakfast.  It was
strange how Kasumi always managed to get up so early,
look cheerful and do all those housework even before
the family gets up in the morning.

Akane walked past the kitchen and entered the dojo.
She was setting up pile of bricks to be broken when she
remembered who it was knocked her out last night.

<Kasumi!?>

With that realization, she ran back inside of the house
and into the kitchen where she can confront, or rather
talk to her sister about what she had done last night.

“Kasumi?”

“What is it Akane?”

“What was that you did to me last night?”

“What do you mean?”

“You made me pass out!”

“Oh, that”

“Yes, that!”

“That was nothing Akane.  I watched Ranma do that to you
the first day and I just did exactly the same thing that he did”

“But Kasumi, you don’t know much about martial arts!”

“Well Akane, that wasn’t all that difficult.  I already knew
the basics of what Ranma did.  After all I did read a lot of
book that I borrowed from doctor Tofu”

Mention of the doctor’s name had quieted Akane for a second.

“Kasumi, how did you do that?”

“What do you mean Akane?”

“Will you show you how you did it?”

Akane was thinking that if she can learn the trick that Ranma
does, then she can defeat him.  Show him who was the boss 
around here.  She can finally expose him for the jerk that he
was.

“Of course Akane”

Kasumi being the naturally nice person that she was, 
didn’t suspect what was going on inside of Akane’s mind.
Kasumi explained the point and where to push to Akane, 
whom did not get the concept at first, but knew that this
was some kind of pressure point attack.

<If I can learn this, then I can use it against Ranma>

Akane was determined to learn it and was prepare to
go all day learning the trick when one of the food
that Kasumi was preparing let the pair know that it
was ready by spilling over a little.

“Oh my!”

With that Kasumi went back to preparing breakfast
for everyone, and Akane knew better then anyone
not to disturb Kasumi working.

<Well, no matter.  She showed me enough that I can
learn this myself.  I just have to practice it.  Now who to
practice it on… I got it!>

With that Akane ran out to get ready for school.

Later…

“Akane, I can’t believe you took another hit today”

It was once again lunchtime and she was talking with her
friends Yuka and Sayuri.  She was once again sporting
a black eye over already fading old one.

During this morning’s fight, Akane was so focused on trying
out her new pressure point technique, that she took another hit
this time by a member of a tennis team.

However, after several wrong spots hit, she finally got the pressure
point technique right, and she knocked about 1/4th of the mob with
using the pressure point technique.  The school nurse’s office was
filled with sleeping or passed out boys that the nurse just couldn’t
wake up.

This new development did not go unnoticed by the people who
were watching the fight.  They thought it strange that Akane
wasn’t punching and kicking the boys with all her might, but
she was simply pushing a spot behind their neck or something
along that line.

“It doesn’t matter, I finally have a way of showing that pervert who
is the best around here!”

“You mean Kuno?  But you already beat him everyday?  Beside,
he still has couple more days at the hospital doesn’t he?”

Yuka mentioned not really knowing that Akane was talking about
one of her new dream boy, Ranma.

“NO!  I mean Ranma!”

“Ranma?  You mean you are talking about Ranma Saotome?”

“Yes!”

“Akane, what are you talking about?  He isn’t a pervert!  I bet
he is the nicest and coolest guy in this school!  Not to mention
the cutest!”

The way Yuka was talking about how Sayuri was looking
almost made Akane sick.

<How can they actually like that perverted jerk?>

Akane was steaming up when she saw Ranma walking out
of the building.

<This is my chance!>

With that Akane got up and before anybody else can get there
she intercepted Ranma.

“Ranma Saotome!  I challenge you!”

“Huh?”

“You heard me!  I challenge you!”

“Oh, it’s you miss stuck up princess”

<You’ll pay for that remark!  I’ll soon wipe that smirk off
your face!>

“I don’t have time for you, so why don’t you go back to
your own little corner in your own little world and
play your own little games by yourself?”

Ranma wasn’t being too nice to her and he knew, but
there was no reason for him to be nice to her so he wasn’t.

“How dare you!  I challenged you!”

“Yes that you did, but that doesn’t mean that I must accept”

“What?!”

“I mean, why should I accept a challenge from a weaker opponent?
I shouldn’t do that, that will be too embarrassing for you when I
beat you so easily again”

“How dare you!”

With that Akane charged him.

<This girl gets angry too easily.  This will some day cause her to
lose a big fight and perhaps more then her pride>

Ranma waited for her to get close to him then he jumped over her.

Akane spun around when Ranma jumped over her, and struck out
with her fingers trying to hit that pressure point that she learned.

What she didn’t expect him to do was grab her extended fingers
with his index and middle fingers.

“Well, it seems that the little stuck up princess has picked up 
a new trick.  But you are forgetting one thing”

Akane was struggling to free her finger, and she couldn’t 
no matter how hard she pulled.  She was about to reach
with her other hand to free the finger when she saw
Ranma’s other hand blur and her other arm just locked itself.

“You are forgetting that I’m the one that introduced you
and your family to that move.  I am the master here
and you are trying to use that move against me?  You have a 
lot to learn about being a real martial artist.  Like I said before
why don’t you quit while you can and become a nice little
girl like you are?”

With that he let the finger go.

Akane wanted to attack again, but somehow Ranma had
managed to freeze the arm that he was holding.  Now with
both her arms frozen she couldn’t do anything except watch
Ranma’s back as he walked away from her.

She was so angry that she almost didn’t hear the whispers of
the students around her.

“Oh man, did you see that?”

“Yeah, Ranma beat Akane”

“Wow, does that mean Akane has to date Ranma?”

“Ranma is even better then Akane!”

<NO!  I’m the best!>

Akane heard the whispers and the more she heard the more
angry she got.  But she couldn’t do anything about it for now.

<I’ll show him. I’ll make him pay!>

With that, she started to walk the other way, what with her
two arms still not moving.

Later…

“Akane, I heard Ranma beat you again today”

“Shut up Nabiki!”

“Trust hurts doesn’t it?”

“He cheated, I know it!”

“From what I heard, he didn’t cheat”

“He attacked me when I wasn’t ready!”

“Akane, you attack people when you are not ready?”

“Shut up!”

Akane and Nabiki were walking back to their home after 
school.  Of course Nabiki heard what happen during the
lunch period with Ranma and Akane.

<I don’t know when you will ever learn Akane>

As they were nearing their home, they saw a moving truck
in front of their house.

<Oh that’s right, Ranma is suppose to be moving in with us
today>

“Nabiki, what’s going on here?”

“Oh that’s right, you passed out during the middle of the
meeting yesterday”

“Shut up!  Just tell me what’s going on!”

“Well, dear sister, we are having a house mate starting
today”

“Oh?”

“Yes, it’s someone we know very well.  I believe you’ve
met you before”

“Who?”

“Ranma Saotome”

“WHAT!”

“Why yes, since he is going to be engaged to either me or
Kasumi, he should get to know us better before he makes up
his mind which one of us he will marry”

“I’m not marrying that pervert!”

“You don’t have to, actually you don’t get a choice.  You are not
in the running Akane, remember?”

“Well, I don’t want him living under the same roof as me!”

“Too bad Akane, father made up his mind and that’s that”

“Who’s going to feed him?  Who’s going to pay for his stay!”

“Akane, he will become a member of a family, and you don’t
charge your own family members a feed for food do you?”

“ARG!”

With that Akane just ran towards her home while Nabiki
just walked along the path with smile on her face.

Tendo house…

Ranma was over seeing the moving of his stuff into
the Tendo home and the room they prepared
for him upstairs.

<What am I doing here?  Why didn’t the boss object to this?>

Ranma, after coming home from the meetings with the Tendos
called his boss to report to him and to tell him of the situation.
What surprised him was that the boss didn’t think much of it, actually
he thought it was great idea that he was getting along so well with
the locals.

<I don’t understand this at all>

He was thinking so hard that he didn’t hear or feel anybody
near him until there was a gentle hand on his shoulder.  He almost
instinctively lashed out at the person, but he held it in, not feeling
any hostile intention from the person.

He turned around to see Kasumi looking at him with that
warm gentle eyes and smile of hers.

“Hello Kasumi, thanks again for allowing me to stay”

“It’s no problem Ranma.  Beside you are going to be engaged
to one of us, so this is the best way”

“I guess”

<This is just too nice.  And she did pick up that pressure point technique
after seeing me do it just once.  Also, she did just sneak up on me...  Although
I was deep in thought, I usually feel someone coming>

Ranma was about to say something to Kasumi again when he heard a loud
bang.  

Ranma and Kasumi both turned towards the door only to see Akane
standing there with this burning look in her eyes.

“YOU!”

“Oh, it’s you miss little princess”

“How dare you come into this house!”

Ranma was about to shot back with an answer, which was
sure to get Akane even more angry when someone else
interfered.

“Akane!  He is our guest.  He will be engaged to one
of your older sisters.  I expect you to treat him with
the respect!”

It was Soun Tendo.  Soun Tendo who, after the death of
his beloved wife, almost never took a firm stance with
his youngest daughter just told her in very firm way
what to do.

Akane couldn’t do anything but stare at her father.
He seem like a different person, so demanding
and full of command.  Then she turned and looked at
Ranma.

<How dare you turn my family against me!  I will make you
pay!>

With that, Akane just stomped her way upstairs to her room.

“I apologize for my youngest daughter Ranma.  She is actually
very nice girl once you get to know her”

“I’m sure Mr. Tendo, but I do not have time to play her games”

“Ranma, it seems like the movers are done with moving your
things into your room now”

It was once again Kasumi who interrupted Ranma and Soun just
before they were about to argue about Akane.

“Yes, thank you Kasumi.  I will go to my room to unpack”

With that Ranma left to go to his room to unpack his stuff.

Later…

Nabiki was studying this odd event that is taking place.
They were eating dinner, with Ranma sitting between
herself and Kasumi and Akane sitting as far away from Ranma
as possible.  However, it seems like Akane was giving Ranma
the glare of death and Ranma not even caring about it.

Soun was looking at Ranma and both herself and Kasumi with
that look that said, I’m about to cry because I’m so proud.

<This is turning out to be very interesting day>

“Ranma?  Do you find your room to be satisfactory?”

Kasumi asked Ranma, seeing if he needed anything more for
his room.

“Yes Kasumi, the room is good enough.  I’m done unpacking
my stuff and they all fit nicely.”

“That was fast Ranma”

Nabiki mentioned, and indeed it was fast unpacking.  It seems
like Ranma had unpacked all his belonging within the span of
about hour and a half time and already arranged his room to his
liking.

“If you know what you are doing, you can do anything fast enough”

“Hmpf, what do you know jerk!”

“Akane”

It was said by three voices, Soun’s, Kasumi’s, and Nabiki’s.
This caused Akane to look around her family and stare at them
with disbelief in her eyes.  Then she turned her eyes towards
Ranma and started to send messages of death through her eyes
which Ranma ignored.

“Well, I will go and clean up your room Ranma”

“Kasumi, you don’t have to, it’s already clean enough”

“No Ranma.  It’s my job to take care of the house, and you just
moved, it must be cleaned enough so that you can sleep tonight”

“Kasumi you don’t…”

“It’s ok Ranma”

With that Kasumi got up and went upstairs to clean Ranma’s room.

<She has got to be the nicest girl I have never met….and it’s kind of
scary>

Ranma’s room…

Kasumi was starting to clean up, the room.  The room wasn’t all
that dirty, but one can never be sure with this kind of thing.

Kasumi started to clean every corner, and when she went to the closet,
she saw something that surprised her.

“Oh my”

What she saw was assortment of knives, chains, and other weapons.

end of chapter 7

Next chapter…

“I can explain!”

“You don’t have to Ranma, I already know”

Note.

I didn’t send this to my pre-readers.  I haven’t 
updated for so long, I have decided to just send 
this one out.  However, next fics will be sent to 
the pre-readers.

Well, many people might think most characters by 
now are way out of character, maybe except for Soun.  
Well that is true, but this is not the original 
Ranma1/2 and expect more people to be out of character.

Now, here is my question and most popular answers

1. Should I or should I not bring the Amazons 
2. into this story?  

Lot of people answered that they don't know how.  
I have said before that the boss had Ranma 
trained around the world.  He could have even 
been trained under Cologne for a time.  Cologne 
could come back with her star pupil to put her 
against the finest in Yakuza.

2. Should I or should I not bring Ryoga into this story?

People told me that yes, I should bring Ryoga 
into the story as Ranma's rival.  That is so 
overly used.  I don't actually see Ryoga as 
Ranma's rival even in the original.  Sure they 
fight all the time and sure Ranma never wins easy 
with Ryoga, well, some times Ranma wins easy.  
But Ranma never uses his full strength and skills.  
However, I'll be bringing Ryoga into the story.

3. Should I or should I not bring Ukyou into this story?

Many people asked me how that is possible if 
Ranma was member of Ukyou.  I think I said that 
Ranma was trained under Neko Ken when he was 6 here.  
That is because in the anime, Genma explains that 
the Neko Ken happen in the summer of Ranma's 6 year.  
People told me that's not true and I watch that anime, 
it's where Shampoo shows up as a cat, 3 times in one 
day to make sure.  I even watched it with 6 different 
people to make sure they heard the same thing as me.  
So those who said that in the anime that Ranma learned 
neko ken when he was ten, you can suck on it.  
I believe it might have been the manga that made 
it that he was 10, but I think even in manga he was 6.

Anyway, Ranma met Ukyou before Neko Ken.

3. Which girl should get Ranma?  Name only the 
4. girls in Ranma1/2 universe, Sailor Moon, or 
5. Oh My goddess.  This is probably not going to 
6. be a major crossover if ever.  However, I think 
7. some of those girls can make an appearance if requested.

Well, many people seem to not like any of the 
Ranma1/2 girls getting Ranma.  They just can't 
see them with a Yakuza member of Ranma.  However, 
anything is possible.  Although most popular was Nabiki.

This is something different from the regular 
Ranma1/2 stories.  I wanted to
try something different, after reading Crying 
Freeman and some other Yakuza
mangas, I thought, why not, let's make Ranma a 
Yakuza member, but that
really didn't work along with Ranma1/2 story, 
so I decided to make Ranma go
to high school and stuff.  It seems fun.

How did Ranma become a Yakuza member?  
That will be answered later on, but
if you followed the anime and note what 
the Don said, it happened when he
was about 6, about the time of Cat-Fist 
training so this should give you
some hints.

Ranma does not have any more feelings 
towards Genma, he has been separated
from Genma for 10 years now, and been 
living as Yakuza personal for about
that much.  However, that doesn't mean 
that he doesn't have feeling for his
mother, even if it's for the curiosity 
of meeting what kind of person his
mother is he would want to find her.

Ranma 1/2

Ranma Yakuza

Chapter 8

Ranma was down stairs looking up at where Kasumi
had disappeared to.  Ranma still could not get over the
fact that Kasumi was so nice and had volunteered to
clean his room.

<I still can't believe how nice she is.  So different from
her younger sister Akane>

Ranma then turned to look at that said younger sister who
was radiating hate towards him.

<So much unexpressed emotion, so much hate for the
world.  Well, it's not my problem>

Akane saw that Ranma was looking at her and she knew that
he was either mocking her or thinking perverted thoughts
about her, even though he said he wasn't going for her.

<I bet that he is mocking me or thinking those
perverted thoughts that all BOYS do>

Akane then started to glare at Ranma even harder
then before.

Ranma calmly turned his attention to Nabiki, the 
middle sister.

<I wonder what she is thinking.  She was the first
to approach me and she was the one that came up
to me with that deal of hers.  Of course, she did make
that rather interesting business order, which sounded
like she asking me out>

Nabiki who had been watching Ranma, noticed that
he was now looking at her and smiled at him.

Ranma shook his head inwardly.  I don't know what
she is thinking, but it looks as though she's got something
up her sleeves.

Ranma was systematically thinking about every Tendo
daughters when he remembered one very important
details about his room that he forgot.

<OH NO!>

It seems that Ranma brought all his weapons with him but
forgot to put them away.  He was going to do that after
he met and talked with the Tendos, but Kasumi was
there now and they were so very easy to find.

Ranma started to head upstairs and was on the top
stairs before the Tendo's even knew what happened.

When Ranma did that, Akane knew that something
was wrong and she decided it would be a good idea
to follow him.  It might give her the edge over him and
insure her victory.

Nabiki was a naturally curious person, and she couldn't
help but follow.

Soun, didn't know any better and didn't wanted to be left
out, so he followed as well.

When Ranma got to his room, he saw what he was
dreading.  

Kasumi was standing in his room, with all the weapons
neatly on the ground.

When Ranma open the door, Kasumi just looked at him
and smiled at him.

Soon after Ranma open the door, Akane, Nabiki, and Soun
caught up with him and they had to stare at the weapons
as well.

There were typical brass knuckles, knives, but there were
some rather exotic weapons that some of them had never seen
before, such as this club that seems to have three slits on the
side, and this blade that was in triangle shape.  

There were many more of those that they had to just
stare at it for a while, and look at it more just to make sure
that they were there.

Ranma realized that everybody was there and that he had
to come up with something, if he wanted to stay here.

He was about to open his mouth and come up with a 
good excuse when a notion came up to him.

<Wait a minute, I didn't wanted to stay in this place
in the first place.  This is a good chance for me to just 
get out of this engagement thing all together>

Ranma was debating about it, when finally, Akane spoke up.

"I knew it!  You are some kind of psycho aren't you!"

"Akane!"

Akane was once again surprised to hear that kind of tone
out of Kasumi.  It seems like she's been doing that
more then ever since Ranma came into her life.

<I'll make you pay for turning our sweet Kasumi 
into whatever you turned her into!>

Akane swore, looking at Ranma with even more vengeance in
her heart.

That burst called everybody's attention to Kasumi.  And
Ranma saw Kasumi's smile and somehow he did not wanted
to disappoint her.

"I can explain"

"You don't have to Ranma, I already know"

<What?  She already knew?  She knew that I'm a member of
Yakuza?  She knew?  How?>

"How?"

"Ranma, you didn't have to do this"

"What are you talking about?"

Ranma was looking at Kasumi's gentle smiling face
and her understanding eyes.

"I know it might have been hard, but you didn't need to
do this"

"You don't understand....I had to, I was indebted"

Ranma didn't know how Kasumi knew, but it seem as 
though Kasumi knew about him and his hard life
as Yakuza, and how he was saved by his boss.  And the
hard training and the killings and the other Yakuza
jobs that he did.

"Ranma, no matter how much you were indebted, 
you shouldn't have done this"

Ranma could not help but look down, he could not
continue to look upon the girl.  He had faced many
enemies, and he had met many people in his line of
work, but none had brought this kind of feeling
upon him.

Akane, Nabiki, and Soun could not understand
what Kasumi and Ranma were talking about.

"Kasumi, daughter, what are you two talking about?"

Soun asked, finally, not being able to take it
anymore.

"Well, Mr. Tendo, it's like this..."

"Ranma brought all these weapons for the dojo
because he felt that he needed to pay us for
staying here and being engaged to one of us"

When Kasumi finished, Soun looked pleased,
Nabiki looked like she was half believing and
half in doubt, Akane was just angry at Ranma.

However, no one was more surprised then Ranma.

"What?"

"Oh, Ranma, you really shouldn't have done this 
you know, you really shouldn't have brought
all these for the dojo.  We have most of them
already, except for few, and they are in excellent
shape"

Ranma could not believe what he was hearing.
He thought Kasumi was talking about his
involvement with Yakuza, but here she was
going on about how he brought all these to help them
out with the dojo.

"That's the spirit son!  Helping out the dojo, you will
be inheriting it, so you should take responsibility for 
it"

With that Soun patted Ranma's back and went down stairs.

Nabiki looked at Ranma and the weapons again, and then
looked at Kasumi then went to her room to do some work.

Akane, looked at Ranma, wanted to take a shot at him
and looked like she was about to, but then she
knew that beating up Ranma in front of Kasumi
would be a bad idea, and left for her room.

Now it was just Ranma and Kasumi left.

Ranma didn't know what to say to Kasumi and
Kasumi just stood there smiling and looking
gently at him.

Ranma was about to open his mouth to say something
when he realized, he had no idea what Kasumi was
thinking of at all.

It could have been that Kasumi really thought that
those weapons were for the good of the dojo, or it
could have been that Kasumi just helped him out
knowing all his secret.

This made Ranma begin to think, in his many odd
jobs, he had met many people.  There were people
like Akane, who were just angry and had lot of
negative emotions in them.

They were always the easiest to deal with.  They
more then likely always acted without much thinking
and that would get them into situations that would
take care of them easily.

There were people like Nabiki, who were smart and knew
what they wanted.  His boss was one of those people
who planned things out before hand, weighing the 
possibilities as well as alternate routes that
he could take the most of the times, did what
was best and most beneficial to him and the group.

However, it was first time he meeting anybody like
Kasumi.  Kasumi seems like a person who was pure
and genuine at heart and her actions showed it.

However, this event opened his eyes, and he began
to think that, perhaps, there was more to Kasumi
Tendo then what everybody else gave her credit for.

During all this, while Ranma was thinking and while
Ranma was just standing there, Kasumi once again
began to clean the room.  

Ranma watched as Kasumi cleaned the room, with
the exception of the weapons, then once the  room
was clean, with the exception of the weapons,
Kasumi started to collect the weapons.

"Kasumi, what are you doing?"

Ranma asked, very curious what she was doing.

"Well Ranma, since you brought these for the dojo
we'll have to put them in the dojo won't we?  After
all, we won't want anybody to get hurt by these
keeping them in your room"

With that Kasumi started to pick up some of the weapons.

Ranma watched some more, then went down to pick up
more of the weapons to help out Kasumi when one of the
more exotic knives that he had, which Kasumi had collected,
"fell" from her pile and imbedded itself right between his 
toes, missing completely his flesh but close enough to
feel the cool metal the knife was made of.

"What?"

"Oh my!"

Ranma just had to stare at the weapon that now occupied
the space between his big toe and his second toe.

<That had to be done on purpose, that had to have been!
There is no way that was an accident, it was expertly
done!>

Ranma knew few people who could have done it, he himself
being one, however, he would have never imagined Kasumi
to be one of those experts.

"Oh my!  Ranma, are you ok?  I'm sorry, it must have
slipped from top of the pile"

With that Kasumi went to pick up the knife.  However,
Ranma stopped her, he held her hand and looked into her
eyes, trying to see if she was faking it or not.

When Ranma put his hand on her hand, Kasumi looked up
only to look into Ranma's blue eyes.

Kasumi couldn't help but blush a little.

Ranma was looking at her eyes, trying to see if
she is playing the nice girl, but inside, was the
expert martial artist, and mastermind brain.

However, all he saw was blushing girl whose hand
that he was holding.  Ranma was confused.

<I can't tell, either she is the greatest and the
best actress that I have ever seen in my life 
or she is really like this>

Ranma was staring into Kasumi's eyes more when the
door opened and walked in Akane.

"Kasumi, when you are....What do you think you are
doing you pervert!"

Akane came in and saw what she knew it to be true
from the very beginning.  There was Ranma holding
Kasumi's hand and trying to seduce her, and it seemed
like it was working too, Kasumi was actually blushing!

"DIE PERVERT!"

With that Akane sent a vicious kick to Ranma's head,
which would have sent him to a hospital, if his head
was still there.

When Akane yelled out, Ranma broke contact with
Kasumi and casually dodged the kick that Akane
threw at him, then he got himself in a position
which would allow him to take care of Akane without
putting Kasumi in danger.

"Now little princess, what's this all about?"

"Don't deny it you!  You were trying to seduce
Kasumi!"

Akane was yelling while throwing punches at
Ranma, which he was all deflecting without
even half trying.

Akane's yelling had once again called Nabiki
and Soun to the room, and they say Akane
trying to fight Ranma, Ranma looking bored, and
blushing Kasumi.

"What's going on here?"

Asked Soun, who was always little slow at getting
things.

Nabiki looked and realized something between Ranma
and Kasumi must have happened, and her angry little
sister must have saw something.

<This is not good... knowing Kasumi, it most likely
have been something simple, and knowing Akane, she
just flipped out...However, if Kasumi is falling for
Ranma, and Ranma falling for Kasumi...things does
not look good for my relationship with Ranma>

With that thought Nabiki started to form a 
plan in her head to make sure that she herself
would be Ranma's chosen bride and not Kasumi.

She felt bad, but this was just too good of an
opportunity.  She promised herself that she
would make it up to Kasumi.

"Little princess, will you just quit that already?
You are boring me too much, I'm falling a sleep here"

"How dare you!"

With that Akane pulled out her mallet, and sent it
crashing into Ranma.

When Akane first pulled out her mallet, Ranma
was very surprised to say the least.

However, Ranma was trained to deal with surprises
and situations.

Ranma, kicked one of the Chinese swords that
was on the ground, grab the handle, and 
before Akane nor anybody had a chance to know 
what was going on, used one of his more 
exotic techniques.

Akane swung her mallet, and expected it to connect,
however, there was a flash and then the mallet
felt lighter.

When everybody could once again see, mallet head
was severed from the handle, and the head itself
was cut in 4 pieces.

"WHAT?"

Soun saw and realized that it must have been Ranma and
he was even more impressed with Ranma then before.

Nabiki looked at the fallen pieces and decided
that, indeed Ranma would be good for her business.

Akane could not believe what happened.  Her ultimate
attack, the attack that she had been saving for
emergencies, had just been defeated so casually.

All three of them were looking at the mallet head
when something happened that would shock them so
much that they would have trouble sleeping for
days.

There was another flash.

Once again, they waited till they got their
eye sight back and turned towards the flash.

What surprised them more then ever, was that
the flash came from the direction of Kasumi.

"KASUMI?"

In Kasumi's right had was another Chinese
sword, twin of the one that was used by
Ranma, and on the ground was 4 evenly cut
pieces of a wooden block that they used to keep
the window open.

"Oh my, that would come very useful for cutting
woods"

With that, Kasumi put the sword down and collected
the fallen wood.

Soun, Akane, and Nabiki just had to stare at Kasumi.
Soun and Nabiki could not believe that Kasumi had
done that, however, the one that was most shocked
was Akane.

Akane was supposed to be the martial artist in the
family, however, her sweet older sister had just 
displayed a skill that she could not even attempt
to do.

Ranma was just outright looking at Kasumi.

<She copied my move, just like last time>

"Kasumi, how did you do that move?"

"Well, I saw you do it"

"You saw me do it?  That's it?"

"Well, yes Ranma"

Akane, could not take it anymore and ran from
the room with tears in her eyes.

Nabiki could not help but feel little jealous
of Kasumi.

Soun looked extremely proud and confused at the
same time.

Ranma was just looking at her.

<She has incredible potential, she reminds me
of me while I was learning...perhaps...>

"Kasumi, have you ever learned martial arts"

"Why I have, very little while mother was
alive"

"Why did you stop?"

"I had to take care of the family"

When Kasumi said that both Soun and Nabiki
looked ashamed.

"Hmmm...Kasumi, would you like to train with me?"

When Ranma offered, Kasumi blushed little bit more
but looked pleased at the offer.

Soun looked like he would pull out the victory
fans any moment.  It looked like Ranma was
getting close to one of his daughters.

Nabiki looked ashamed but jealous at the
same time.

"Ranma, thank you for the offer, but... I have
to take care of the family and I don't think I have
the time"

As she was saying that, her face fell a little.

"Kasumi!  I give you permission to train with Ranma"

Soun said it, with tears in his eyes.

"But father, what about the family?"

"I insist!"

Kasumi looked like she was faced with a dilemma and
for her, it was.

Ranma saw that, and decided to help her out
with the problem.

"Kasumi, how about we do it like this.  You will
train with me, and in turn I'll help out as much
as I could with your house work"

When Ranma offered, Soun looked ready to call
the priest.  Unless Ranma liked Kasumi, why
would he make such offer.

Nabiki saw that this would be a major problem
in her landing Ranma.

"Ranma...that's gracious offer, but you are a guest
and I cannot let you do that"

"No Kasumi, I insist that you let me train you,
and I cannot just stay here doing nothing"

"Ranma..."

"Kasumi, I insist"

With that Ranma once again stared into Kasumi's eyes"

Kasumi looking into Ranma's eyes, could not help
but give in.

"Ok"

"Good, we'll start tomorrow"

When the deal was made, one another person wanted
to be included in it, so she jumped in

"Ranma, could you train me too?"

When Nabiki asked, Ranma turned to look at her,
however, Ranma was not the only one looking at
her, Soun was also looking at Nabiki.

<Could it be that Nabiki also likes Ranma?  
The family will be joined!>

With that Soun let his tears free and
he was crying while Ranma was studying
Nabiki.

<Well...her body is in good shape, although I can
tell that she didn't have much train...but
you can't tell...she might surprise me just
like Kasumi>

With that thought complete, Ranma decided.

"Sure"

"Thanks Ranma"

"We start tomorrow"

Nabiki, satified that she got what she
want, started to leave.

"We start at 4"

"WHAT!!"

End of Chapter 8

Note.

I didn't send this to my pre-readers.  I haven't 
updated for so long, I have decided to just send 
this one out.  However, next fics will be sent to 
the pre-readers.

Well, many people might think most characters by 
now are way out of character, maybe except for Soun.  
Well that is true, but this is not the original 
Ranma1/2 and expect more people to be out of character.

Now, here is my question and most popular answers

1. Should I or should I not bring the Amazons 
2. into this story?  

Lot of people answered that they don't know how.  
I have said before that the boss had Ranma 
trained around the world.  He could have even 
been trained under Cologne for a time.  Cologne 
could come back with her star pupil to put her 
against the finest in Yakuza.

2. Should I or should I not bring Ryoga into this story?

People told me that yes, I should bring Ryoga 
into the story as Ranma's rival.  That is so 
overly used.  I don't actually see Ryoga as 
Ranma's rival even in the original.  Sure they 
fight all the time and sure Ranma never wins easy 
with Ryoga, well, some times Ranma wins easy.  
But Ranma never uses his full strength and skills.  
However, I'll be bringing Ryoga into the story.

3. Should I or should I not bring Ukyou into this story?

Many people asked me how that is possible if 
Ranma was member of Ukyou.  I think I said that 
Ranma was trained under Neko Ken when he was 6 here.  
That is because in the anime, Genma explains that 
the Neko Ken happen in the summer of Ranma's 6 year.  
People told me that's not true and I watch that anime, 
it's where Shampoo shows up as a cat, 3 times in one 
day to make sure.  I even watched it with 6 different 
people to make sure they heard the same thing as me.  
So those who said that in the anime that Ranma learned 
neko ken when he was ten, you can suck on it.  
I believe it might have been the manga that made 
it that he was 10, but I think even in manga he was 6.

Anyway, Ranma met Ukyou before Neko Ken.

3. Which girl should get Ranma?  Name only the 
4. girls in Ranma1/2 universe, Sailor Moon, or 
5. Oh My goddess.  This is probably not going to 
6. be a major crossover if ever.  However, I think 
7. some of those girls can make an appearance if requested.

Well, many people seem to not like any of the 
Ranma1/2 girls getting Ranma.  They just can't 
see them with a Yakuza member of Ranma.  However, 
anything is possible.  Although most popular was Nabiki.

This is something different from the regular 
Ranma1/2 stories.  I wanted to
try something different, after reading Crying 
Freeman and some other Yakuza
mangas, I thought, why not, let's make Ranma a 
Yakuza member, but that
really didn't work along with Ranma1/2 story, 
so I decided to make Ranma go
to high school and stuff.  It seems fun.

How did Ranma become a Yakuza member?  
That will be answered later on, but
if you followed the anime and note what 
the Don said, it happened when he
was about 6, about the time of Cat-Fist 
training so this should give you
some hints.

Ranma does not have any more feelings 
towards Genma, he has been separated
from Genma for 10 years now, and been 
living as Yakuza personal for about
that much.  However, that doesn't mean 
that he doesn't have feeling for his
mother, even if it's for the curiosity 
of meeting what kind of person his
mother is he would want to find her.
