Chapter 4: Who's Nodoka's Daddy?


It had only taken the girls a half-hour to pack, then using Ryo-ohki it only took another 15 minutes to reach the outskirts of Tokyo. Now they were approaching the Tendo Dojo.

"Well, it was easy to get directions to this place, but why did those people look at us that way?" Ayeka asks.

"What I thought was odd was that they didn't think of the wedding being bombed or the cat-girl on the loose as strange occurrences as soon as the names Tendo or Saotome were mentioned. Like things like this happen to them all the time or something." Washu remarks. "I may have to study these people if they are that interesting."

"Now Washu-chan, some of these people are my family." objects Katsuhito.

"Which makes them even better test subjects." she replies.

"Hmm, 'To challenge owner in savage combat, use rear door.’ Well, which door shall we use?" asks Ryoko.

"Now Ryoko-san, we're here to visit my daughter's family, not wreck the place. So we'll use the front door, and I want you on your best behavior." says Katsuhito as he knocks on the door.

"Well, there's always later, besides from the look of the Dojo they don't need our help to wreck the place. I think our stay around here will be interesting."

Tendo Soun answers the door saying "Hello, I'm Tendo Soun, how may I help you?"

"Is Saotome Nodoka here? I'm her father and these are some of my friends."

"Oh, come in, and make yourselves comfortable, I'll have her meet you in the tea room."

A few minutes later Nodoka enters with a tea serving platter, wearing a nice kimono, and carrying a cloth wrapped long bundle slung across her back.

"Hello, Father, it's been a long time. I guess you must have seen the news to decide to visit today."

"Yes, the news did quite catch our attention, why I didn't even know that I had a granddaughter. But let me introduce you to my companions, this is your aunt Masaki Ayeka."

"Pleased to meet you Nodoka-san, I hope to be of help to you and your children."

"Thank you Ayeka-san. It’s a pleasure to meet you."

"And this is Hakubi Ryoko, and Hakubi Washu the great scientist."

"It's good to see you again after so long Nodoka-chan, I was missed the times that you would visit my cave, you've grown to be a beautiful young woman."

"Umm, yes, nice to meet you Ryoko-san, I'm glad too, see you on friendly terms with the Masaki clan."

"Oh yes, little Ryoko-chan was quite the hellion in her time, but I'm afraid she was under some duress. It's nice to meet you Nodoka-san, and I'm looking forward to meeting your extraordinary children." says Washu looking very cute.

"Thank you Washu-chan, I must say that you have defied age very well, and I welcome any help you can give my son. Now I must tell you a bit about Ranma and Ranko because Ranma is my only child, even though Ranko is the daughter I never had. You see Ranma and Ranko are closer than siblings can ever be, Ranko is closer to Ranma than his own shadow because of a curse from Jusenkyo, legendary training ground of the accursed springs."

"Ahh yes, I've heard about Jusenkyo before, something about a shape changing curse similar to lycanthropy but based on water rather than phases of the moon." muses Katsuhito.

"Yes, Ranko is Ranma's female identity, when he tries to keep his curse a secret. The cat-girl is because of his training in the Neko-Ken technique. Genma did some awful things to Ranma in the name of training. The Neko-Ken and Jusenkyo are the two worst that I know of. The Neko-ken is actually a berserker state, where the martial artist gains the mind of a cat with increased speed, and agility, as well as the ability to manifest Ki claws that can cut through about anything."

"Well, Nodoka I hope Ranma is a good martial artist, because it sounds like he has suffered for it."
"He seems to think it was worth it, he has been training for the last 12 years, and is probably the best young martial artist that anyone has ever seen, he once used the Neko-Ken to fight the 300-year-old Amazon Elder Cologne to a forfeit, he defeated the Dragon Prince Herb of the Musk Dynasty in a battle that leveled Mount Horai, and killed Saffron, the Immortal Phoenix God, in a battle that took the top off of Mount Phoenix while rescuing his fiancee Tendo Akane. He is a man among men, even if he is a bit rude and uncouth from being raised on the road, and cursed to be a girl part of the time."

"Well, it seems that you and Ranma won't have trouble accepting your true heritage then. You see the Masaki clan is descended from alien royalty, Ayeka-hime, my half-sister is the First Princess of the Juraii Empire, making, you, me, Ranma, and your nephew Tenchi all Juraiian royalty. My heritage caught up to me a little after Ryoko was released by Tenchi last year, and that's another reason I had for seeking you out. More and more aliens seem to be coming to Earth now that it is known that we are here, you and Ranma could be targets. I'd like the chance to take up your sword training again and teach Ranma our family sword style."

"Oh Father that sounds wonderful, but you may have trouble with Ranma, he considers weapons, well, a crutch used by lesser martial artists. You should have no trouble getting him to spar however and I'm sure he'd love to see any special techniques you have."

"So, how goes the search for Ranma the cat-girl then."

"Well, Nabiki-san and Kasumi-chan, two of Tendo-kun's daughters have gone to Juuban, following up on the last sightings. Tendo Akane and Kuonji Ukyo have gone to the hospital to visit Hibiki Ryouga. The poor boy confronted an angry Neko-Ranko-chan, and she clawed him up and knocked him out before she ran off chasing that old pervert Happosai. Now I really should start dinner, you can make yourselves at home, and we have plenty of futons if you want to stay here tonight."

--------------- --------------- ----------------

While everyone was still at the table, finishing dinner the phone rings and Soun get up to answer it. "Hello, . . . oh, Nabiki-chan, . . . Juuban River Park . . . missed him by half an hour . . . got into a car? .... Blood trail! ... Oh, footprints . . . What channel? ... Channel 6, in a couple minutes, got it . . . Oh your coming home . . . That's probably right . . . Oh, eating out, I'll tell her. Ja na."

"Saotome-kun could you turn the TV to channel 6. There is going to be some news about Ranma. Nabiki says they missed Ranma by about half an hour, and someone must have gotten him into a car, so we should know where he is soon."

"Ok, Tendo-kun here is channel 6, looks like we got it just in time."

-------------- --------------- ------------------

"We have a news flash, just over an hour ago the missing cat-girl Saotome Ranko killed a monster in Juuban River Park. We can see the police with the body covered behind us, and they are marking off the bloody hand and foot prints of the cat-girl walking away from her kill." says the TV reporter standing outside the police line. "We have managed to acquire some pictures of the body from the person who found it. Be warned these pictures are extremely graphic and may be unsuitable for some viewers, so take a moment and send the kids out of the room. We have talked to Tendo Nabiki who knows Ranko the cat-girl and Nabiki-san tells us that Neko-Ranko-chan would never attack a person like this, but felt no need to hold her claws in when fighting a monster. OK, the pictures are ready. This first shot is a whole body shot of the monster, notice its blue skin, bug eyes, and clawed hands. Also, the body is in a large pool of blood. This shot is of some deep slashes on the back, in this shot you can see that the claws actually cut cleanly through several ribs, and in this last shot is what must have been the finishing blow to the neck, the cuts go from 20 to 30 centimeters deep, almost completely severing the head from the body, killing it instantly."

"Well, that was certainly quite graphic." says the TV anchorman. "From what was reported from the hospital, the young man who was wounded at the wedding received many cuts requiring more than 200 stitches, lost over a liter of blood, and has a serious concussion, but the cuts were quite shallow, certainly nothing like the wounds that the monster received, and while serious the wounds to the young man were not life threatening. This is a picture of Ranko." Showing a picture of Ranma-chan wearing a black tank top and shorts doing a kata. "And this is a picture of Neko-Ranko taken earlier today." The screen now shows a snapshot of the same redheaded girl in a white tuxedo crouched down with one hand on the ground, the other hand raised to strike with glowing red blades projecting from her fingers. "She should still be wearing a white tuxedo, and at this point is probably dirty and covered in blood. If you see her please call the police or the number on the bottom of the screen, there is a reward of 50,000 yen for information that leads to the capture of the cat-girl, but you should not attempt to capture her yourselves. And now we will return you to you regular TV show."

"Kami-sama" Soun "I had no idea" Genma "Astounding" Katsuhito "Tsunami preserve us" Ayeka "He was playing with it." Ryoko "I've got to get this boy into the lab." Washu "My son is so DANGEROUS." Nodoka.

Everyone was a little shocked and horrified at the pictures on the news, the amount of damage the Ranma had done to the monster was quite staggering, any one of over a dozen wounds would have been fatal to a human. That they had been inflicted with her bare hands was like a blow to the gut.

After a few seconds of shocked silence Katsuhito spoke up. "I have heard tales of how dangerous the Neko-Ken is, but thought them to be mere tall tales, like most stories of demons and such, some truth the rest fiction. But here we see what the Neko-Ken can really do when used with deadly intent."

"Genma!! WHAT were you THINKING, teaching Ranma to do THAT?!" Nodoka yells across the table gripping her katana in anger.

"But Nodoka, it's an unbeatable technique, that monster didn't stand a change. I didn't know it would make him scared of cats or that it couldn't be controlled. Ranma has only seriously hurt two people when in the Neko-Ken, and both times he was provoked, and even then he held back."

"Two people Genma, who besides Hibiki-san has he injured?"

"The other one was me, of course, he was quite upset with me when he burst out of the pit, and I approached him yelling and tried to grab him, he swatted me and gave me three long but shallow cuts then ran off, I was able to wrap the wound and get to the hospital, but I was laid up for almost two weeks."

"I'd say he deserved it." Ryoko remarked.

After everyone heard the explanation of the Neko-Ken training they all agreed that he deserved it. Washu even offered to try to get Ranma control over the Neko-Ken figuring it's a great excuse to get him in the lab for some samples.

Half an hour later Soun picked up another call from Nabiki, and after hanging up says "Well, Ranma has come out of the Neko-Ken and is going to stay overnight with an old friend of his in Juuban. Genma do you know who Hino Rei is?"

"Yeah, I remember her, she's about a year younger than Ranma, it sort of figures she'd find him."

"How's that Genma dear?" asks Nodoka.

"Well the Hino family brought Ranma out of the Neko-ken the first time and took care of him for a couple weeks while I was laid up from my wounds before I could go looking for him. While Ranma was with them he and Rei were quite close, and she had played with Neko-Ranma when she first found him."

"They were close, Saotome-kun, Please tell me she's not another FIANCEE?!" yells Demon-head Soun, his head looming over the table to menace Genma.

"My son is so manly, to have so many fiancees. But how will he be able to marry them all? It's such a shame that so many girls will be heartbroken." Nodoka cries out.

"Actually, Nodoka-sama, Juraii royal tradition calls for at least two wives." Ayeka informs her. "So maybe he won't have too disappoint them. How many fiancees does Ranma-sama have?"

"Well Genma, how many fiancees does Ranma have?" Nodoka asks her husband.

"Uhm, OK, lets see. First we have the engagement to one of Tendo-kun's daughters, then Hino Rei, Kuonji Ukyo, Masaki Kaede, Aino Minako when we were in England, then Shampoo and maybe her amazon sisters Ling-Ling, Lung-Lung, Perfume, and Lotion, and just recently Kuno Kodachi." Genma replies, going over the list in his head.

"Oh dear, I forgot that I engaged Ranma-kun to my friend Hitome's daughter Kino Makoto, the poor girl, her parents were both killed several years ago and I look after her a little." Nodoka tells him. "I think I also remember your mother once mentioning a pledge to the Mano clan now that I think of it, but I'm not sure if it was for a marriage, and it was conditional on something."

"Oh that, I remember now. The Mano's are a Mamono Hunter clan, if the girl is a virgin at 16 she can become a Mamono Hunter, a boy has to stay a virgin until 18 to receive his Mamono Hunter weapon and powers, and if they are both still unwed then they become engaged to unite the Mamono Hunter clans, but no Saotome men have been able to use the Yasha Rei Satsu Katana for 10 generations."

"But Genma, Ranma is only a couple of weeks from being 18, and I don't think he has actually slept with any of his fiancees yet, or they would have dragged him to the altar already." Nodoka replies. "The Yasha Rei Satsu (Demon Soul Killing) Katana, is that this one that I've been carrying for the last 22 years?"

"Yes, that's it. The Saotome men haven't been able to use its power for 10 generations, so our wives keep the katana until one of us becomes a Mamono Hunter again."

"Onisama, do you think this Masaki Kaede could be a relation of ours?" Ayeka asks Katsuhito.

"Well, I do have a great, great . . . , great granddaughter by that name that lives in Osako, and I think she's about 17 years old." Katsuhito replies.

"That's probably her then." Genma says. "Her father Masaki Ichiro taught a unique kenjitsu style. I got him to teach it to Ranma, as well as spar against him sword vs. unarmed to teach him to dodge a blade in battle."

----------------- ------------------ ------------------

05-02-04 Extended the family meeting with the possibility of a Juraii polygamous marriage for Ranma, and listing his possible fiancees. I don't plan on Ranma marrying all of them, they will try and get rid of some of the excess amazons at least, maybe setting up fights with Ryu, Kuno, Ryouga, and/or Konatsu with some of the amazons.

Feel free to mention possible match ups and matchmaking schemes to me in reviews or e-mail them to me. Also possible curse cures that the senshi or Juraii crews could come up with.
