The Day Of The Wedding:

Today was Ranma's 17th birthday not that he expected any party or presents he'd never had an official birthday since he was 5 years old. He was sure that within 10 miles only he and his parents knew that today had any significance. This was however not entirely true there were others that knew this information, Nabiki for one knew as it was part of the information submitted for the Ranma Saotome biography, a book selling everywhere other than Nerima and raking cash in for Nabiki. Although all the birthday cards and gifts sent in for Ranma were hard to hide. If Ranma found out about her exploiting of his life it would remove any hold on Ranma that Nabiki had. Ranma merchandise payments so far would easily paid back all of his debts to her family also Nabiki heard what Ranma did in China, and angering a god slayer wasn't on her to do list.

The other member of the Tendo household that knew of the importance of this day was Kasumi, although seen as having her head full of her namesake (clouds) she was actually smarter than Nabiki and knew more about Ranma then anyone else, she had even had a peak of Ranma's true power. Watching him training while he believed the house empty she saw him attempting Chi control trying to copy Happosai's Fire burst, a more complicated technique than it seams as the little fire crackers are actually made of Chi. While Kasumi watched from the shadows Ranma focused the Chi contained around the dojo trying to do something, as Kasumi watched a breeze drifted through the dojo, the area between Ranma's hands glowing pink, forming into a baseball shaped orb between his hands, suddenly Sakura petals flew from the pink orb floating through the air and disappearing before they hit the ground. After he left, Kasumi wandered into the dojo speechless, knowing that she really needed to try to curb her sister’s actions, both of them. Kasumi knew that priests and shrine maidens worked for years to be able to simply channel Chi into their body let alone create anything with it. This meant that Ranma probably had access to enough power to destroy the dojo leaving nothing behind.
Ranma woke up looking around the room for the idiot known as Genma, not seeing his father, worried Ranma far more than if he was flying through the window the only time his father got up early was when his mother was coming by or if he was planning something, he really hopped his mother was coming. He didn't fear her and in fact wanted to spend the entire break getting to know his mother if he could, if his father was planning something that always meant trouble. Ranma rubbed his eyes for a second and got out of his futon, stowed the futon away in the wardrobe and grabbed some clean clothing left the room heading for the bathroom for a morning bath "I love holidays" he commented to him self as he closed the door affixing the "In Use" sign on the door and clearly putting his clothing in the basket, this was to avoid the chance of one of the females of the house walking in on him the cry of "pervert" and the air mallet trip… naked. As Ranma stepped under the shower he concentrated to prevent the change of genders holding the change back for 30 seconds before he was female, while Ranma only really complained about becoming a girl to keep his father off his back, he actually didn't mind changing genders, what ticked him off was having no control. The curse had allowed him to become better acquainted with the his female side, becoming a more rounded person and he was coming to the realization that women weren't inferior and that it was ok for men to do "female" things like cooking or eating fancy deserts, that and he really loved teasing Ryoga as a female in disguise.

A feeling of dread passed over Ranma, this happened on the day he faced Saffron, but the danger sense felt different, less tangible as if it wasn't someone trying to injure him physically but they would attack him emotionally or mentally. This danger sense was more than a feeling that a bad day was coming, since every day was bad, he'd be getting a strange feeling if it was a good day, no this was advanced warning, the Chi in the area was off, Ranma had been able to sense Chi and Ki near him since the Neko-Ken training and over time his ability to use this sense grew, he hid this from his father since he had never trusted his father, not since he was six he kept his real training and true abilities hidden he was even working on his own techniques beyond the Möko Takabisha and on controlling the Neko-Ken.

As he finished of his bath and changed into clean clothing he felt refreshed clean and decidedly male. As he made his way down stairs he could hear the definite sound of two women talking in the kitchen one of them easily identified as Kasumi the other taking slightly longer to recognize as his mother. As he entered the dining room he called out to the kitchen "Good morning Kasumi-Chan, Mother" the almost simultaneous replies "Good morning Ranma-Kun" "Good morning Ranma" "Happy Birthday" this stunned Ranma he knew his mother knew but didn't know that Kasumi knew

"Ranma-Kun would you help set the table Father and Uncle Saotome won't be joining us they have gone on an errand, Nabiki left the house early mentioning something about a publisher and Akane is still sulking, I mean Akane want back to sleep" came Kasumi's gentile voice, the only change of tone came at the mention of Genma where a slight hint of disproval was evident Ranma knew this, coming from Kasumi was the equivalent of a name being cursed by a normal person.

As the three finished their meal Kasumi and Nodoka reached under the table and retrieved two wrapped parcels and handed them to the stunned Ranma as he reverently unwrapped the items he unveiled a katana similar to the one his mother carried with an engraved horse on the hilt and sheath, a ring with a matching symbol and a white with this symbol encompassed in a Yin and Yang symbol embroidered on the back and again smaller on the front with black canvas pants.

"This is the sword presented to all of the members of our family on their 17th birthday, an old samurai tradition, our family has one of the premier Kendo styles in the world a style I hope you will learn, in the past you would have carried this sword once you had mastered the family style, but… that practice has become outdated as well as illegal, instead our family has chosen to use rings to identify mastery, unfortunately until you master the style you are unable to wear your ring" explained his mother, showing Ranma her own ring this one etched with a crane.

"And I thought that you might like something more fashionable to wear rather than those Chinese shits and kung fu pants, this clothing is actually stronger than your old clothing" mentioned Kasumi again disapproval of Genma shining through even though he wasn't mentioned

"Wow this is …wow" Ranma on the verge of tears

"What's wrong Ranma?"

"Ranma are you crying?"

"It's just these are the first gifts I've received since I left home"

"Ranma please tell me you are joking I know life on the road was hard but not that hard surely" Nodoka said hopping to see a smile on Ranma's face as revealed the joke

"I'm afraid he's not auntie Genma isn't a very… giving person"

"Yea Kasumi's right Mom the only gift that fat panda gave me was an empty sake bottle" Ranma explains

"I'd best put these away before Akane hits me for stealing them or something, thanks mum, thanks Kasumi" Ranma says as he leaves the room giving his still stunned mother a hug as he gets up

Some seconds later Nodoka comes out of her stunned state looks at Kasumi and barely containing a mothers rage asks "Kasumi dear what has my husband left out about the training journey and why would Akane hit her fiancé?"

"Um. well auntie Nodoka I don't know if it's my place to say, but the training journey seamed to me to be more torture then training from Ranma's point of view, and Akane sort of has a short temper and tends to hit first ask questions later and not apologize"

"Kasumi dear why don't you tell me what you know about the training journey and the last year"

Kasumi than explains the entire training journey, other than Ranma she knows them most about what happened as she had offered Ranma the chance to talk to her and it was amazing what information you could get if people thought your head was full of clouds. Kasumi left the engagements and the Neko ken till last but when she finished the story she could see that Ranma may have learned the soul of ice from Cologne but the technique was in his blood as she would swear that the look Nodoka was giving the table would turn it to ice and shatter it.

"My husband threw my son into a pit of starving cats as a training exercise leaving him emotionally scarred and mentally unstable near cats?" asked Nodoka the coolness of her voice made Kasumi glad that she wasn't anywhere near Genma

"He also gets nightmares but Mr. Saotome said that he has to face his fears like a man"

"My husband forced my son into an engagement he doesn't want with abusive fiancés?"

"Well shampoo wasn't Genma's fault really"

"My husband kept me from my son a whole year while they were in Japan?"

"You're not listing to me are you auntie Nodoka?" Kasumi waved her hand infront of the older woman’s eyes.

"I'm sorry Kasumi, dear I have to leave, I have some phone calls to make, thank you for helping me with this, and if anything happens to Ranma I want you to call me as soon as possible"

"That's ok Auntie I was glad to help, Ranma is like the little brother I never had"

Nodoka left the house without saying another word her katana however was unwrapped and griped in a manner that promised death to anyone who dared stop her.

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

Meanwhile the idiots, I mean Mr. Tendo and Mr. Saotome were talking excitedly about their purchase form the Chinese herbalist.

"So Tendo this powder will help us make that ungrateful son do what he should"

"Yes Saotome this will ensure the future of the school and the happiness of our children"

"Yes and ensure a sweet retirement for me"

"What was that Saotome old friend?"

"Oh nothing Tendo quickly we must go get the groom ready"

Notes:

Notes: For the sake of not messing up I will be alternating between translation and Chinese names for techniques i.e. Bakusai Tenketsu, Shi Shi Höködan, Kachü Tenshin Amaguriken , Hiryü Shöten Ha, Möko Takabisha, and Hiryü Korin Dan for moves from Ranma and an English version like Heaven's true blast, glacier fist etc. for made up moves also I'm using the assumption that Ranma is actually holding back significant amounts of his true power and that he has been working on his own techniques including mastering the Neko-ken and using Ki sensing.

My definitions Chi is the energy flowing in the air created by life which can be absorbed and used like Ki but is harder to use for destructive purposes while Ki is the energy created within people and can be used by martial artists to improve body performance or healing and can be formed into projectile attacks.
Ki is easier to use when used with an emotion but a non emotional Ki attack takes linger to perform but is more powerful. Emotional Tainted Ki while allowing for less charge up time has the side effect of raising that emotion in a person so each time Ranma uses the Möko Takabisha his confidence (arrogance) increases correspondingly Ryoga gets more depressed and Akane gets angrier when she uses her Mallet a Ki technique fuelled by anger Ranma has in secret been working on a non-emotional Ki attack the "White tiger's blast"

Timelines:

Set at the end of both Sailor moon and Ranma

Ranma the wedding has just failed and Akane is pissed Nodokahas little or no knowledge of the “Training” *chough*
torture *chough* that when on during the 10? Year trip
Sailor Moon all that's left is to wait for the big cold and the youma attacks have lessened but not by much it seams youma are a natural occurrence any way the all the scouts other than Rei and Hotaru are at Juban high

It's about a week maybe two off the summer break

Connections:

Ami's mum was the doctor that treated Ranma after the Neko-Ken (Genma ran out on the bill).

Rei's grandmother was the "old woman" from the Neko-Ken Tragedy.

Ranma is Makoto's mysterious Sempai.

Ranma Trained in England for a short time and helped Sailor V.

Ranma has been hit into Juuban enough to see Hotaru attacked and stepped in.

Michiru is a family friend (Nodoka's side) grew up together.

Haruka is a massive fan of Ranma.

Setsuna is the only Senshi without a direct connection to Ranma she knows of him through the school principal as he? Wants Ranma for their school teams, also through Haruka being a Ranma fan and she has seen where the Senshi and Ranma have meet but due to a curse Genma had placed on Ranma at birth which blocks out interference in Ranma’s life by higher power, this includes the time gate, but when the Senshi even in there dormant form are in contact with Ranma the block is temporarily removed. Setsuna knows about roughly 20% of Ranma’s life mostly training including Neko-ken his interactions with the Senshi and some of his home life.
Usagiis a friend from school, the time is just before the Neko-Ken, primary school I think.

All of the scouts fell under the ol' Ranma charm and have huge crushes on him including the two in a "relationship"

Oh and Nabiki has been selling books about Ranma and his life highly edited with her sister shown in a different light as well as any one living in the Tendo household other that Happosai

During the training journey Ranma participated in many tournaments which had scholarships and cash as prizes Genma ran off with the ready cash but the remaining prize money and a few scholarships have been placed in trust for Ranma his mother knows about this and but hasn't told Genma because she is beginning to doubt her husband's honesty and motives. She is also beginning to doubt the Tendo's
