Nodoka walked into the Kuno mansion destined to get the siblings off the couple’s backs. Neither of them were worthy of being with Akane or Ranma, especially that Takawaki boy, he was after her own son and that is definitely not manly.
She was greeted in nicely as ‘Ranma’s mother’ and ‘guardian of the pigtailed girl’. The 3 were gathered at the table to hear Nodoka’s words.
“I am here to settle a disagreement between you and my children.”
“You want me to marry my Ranma darling? Oh, you are so kind mother.”
“You are here to help me, Takawaki Kuno free the pigtailed girl from that foul sorcerer’s grasp?!”
“NO!” Nodoka bellowed “I am here to see to it that you leave the two alone. By any means necessary.”
“Leave my pigtailed goddess alone? Never! I will not allow it! That foul sorcerer shall not defeat me!”
“Leave my Ranma darling in the clutches of that wicked red haired Hadrian? You make me laugh mother!”
Nodoka sighed, Nabiki wasn’t kidding that they wouldn’t listen to reason. “I ask you for the last time kindly, to leave my children alone. Ranma, Ranko and Akane are off limits to you two. I will not allow you to harm them in any way. It has gone on for too long. They are in a budding relationship with each other and I ask you to stop harassing them.”
“The sorcerer has abducted Akane and the pigtailed girl! I knew it! It mustn’t go unpunished! Only I Takiwaki Kuno, Blue thunder of Furinkan high will be able to stop this travesty! I am the…”
Nodoka tuned out the rest of their complaints too frustrated with this development. ‘Guess I’ll have to go to plan B.’
“STOP IT! I realize you care for them, but it is not to be. However, if you want to free them, then take these papers to this address and tell them that you were sent by Nodoka Saotome to clear up the world view.”
“This is where they are? Thank you mother! Watch out Ranma darling, the black rose will save you! Oooh ho ho ho ho!!!”
“Akane Tendo, Pigtailed girl, fear not, for I Takawaki Kuno shall see that you are to be feed!”
And thus, the two Kuno siblings bounced off to the central Tokyo insane asylum.

Dinner was… an odd affair. With all 3 parents doing things that evening, it was only Ranma + the Tendo Sisters. The fact that it opened like this, then you can see why.
“So…” Nabiki said waving her hand around “how’s the property Saotome?”
The timing was perfect as both of the accused spit out their rice at once.
“Nabiki!” Akane screamed, irritated “We… *cough* *cough* *gag* didn’t do anything like that!”
“I wasn’t asking YOU, slave.” Nabiki said a twinkle in her eye. Oh yes she was going to milk this thing dry… and then some.
“Nabiki!” Kasumi scolded “Don’t treat your sister that way!”
“Why Kasumi? It’s the truth.” Nabiki smirked at her sister ‘She’s trapped into playing along with me.’ “So how was it Saotome, my former sister good enough for you?”
Ranma wisely didn’t answer, instead eating his rice faster, trying to ignore that statement.
Not that it mattered “So it wasn’t then huh? I knew she didn’t have it in her, with all that ‘I hate boys’ in her.”
“NABIKI!!” Akane was mad.
“Nabiki! Stop it!” Kasumi scolded again. She really didn’t like this at all.
“Maybe things will be better tonight. Akane knows how to please girls well.”
Ranma was just waiting for something to hit him, Kasumi was trying her best to keep calm, and Akane was really pissed.
“NABIKI! STOP IT ALREADY!” Akane was glowing with a battle aura that was as big as the house.
“Hey! Saotome! Rear in your slave!”
Ranma, who had to stop eating due to chocking decided that it wouldn’t get any worse, agreed that he might as well go with it all the way.
“Akane? Sick her.”
Yep, might as well, he’s dead, so why not have a last laugh?
Not that he needed to since Akane took that moment to jump her sister and pin her to the floor, ready to bring pain… lots and lots of pain.
Now, normally Akane didn’t endanger those who couldn’t defend themselves, but Nabiki was asking for it, honestly! Not that she had the chance to since Kasumi interfered.
“Nabiki, stop it. Now.” She was giving her the ‘do not cross Kasumi frown’. “Akane, please get off of her.”
Akane did so reluctantly, and only after looking at Kasumi.
“Now, Nabiki, say you’re sorry to your sister.”
“Why should I?”
Ranma had already decided that he will take this seriously because, you know, he’s dead, so he had enough of it. “Nabiki, apologize to Akane. You do not insult my property like that!” Yep… all the way. “We haven’t done anything yet, and if you were to please keep out of our sex life, then you won’t have to deal with Akane maiming you. Got that?”
Akane was lucky that she was too mad she couldn’t hear, otherwise, she’d be after Ranma again.
“Fine Saotome, you win, I am sorry for insulting her abilities, I’m sure she’s better than that.”
Ranma glared at her.
“Sorry for interfering… ok!”
Glare.
“Sorry for treating her badly, I guess you are one of the nice owners huh?”
Ranma continued his glare “Remember, you hurt her, you hurt me… and I don’t like you hurting her, or me. Got it. I may have a problem hitting those who can’t defend themselves, but Akane won’t hesitate to hurt you.” Ranma smirked “And as her Mast…” Ranma was surrounded in bright light and was now female “… err, I’m the only one that can rein her in.”
Nabiki couldn’t resist, “I think you mean mistress Ranma.”
Ranma blinked and saw he was a girl again. “The sun just went down right now did it?”
Everyone nodded.
“So it does work how you said. And I was here hoping it was wrong and I was cured…”
“Cheer up Ranma, at least you know when you will be a girl.” Kasumi said with a smile.
Akane was finally hearing things now and just continued eating.
It didn’t stay quiet for long.
Kasumi asked a simple question. “Where will you be sleeping Ranma? It wouldn’t be good to sleep away from Akane.”
Cue the mentioned spitting again.
Nabiki felt very much like a teaser today. “Yes, the two of you need to sleep together; after all, you would like to see your slave in the morning to get ready for school. Besides, that will make sure no one sneaks into Ranma’s bed eh slave-Akane?”
“Nabiki…”
“You want him to sleep with Shampoo? Face it, it’s for the best. You might as well put you stuff into your new room Saotome. What will your mother think if you two aren’t in the same bed?”
The two gulped at that.
“Hey, sis, can you make a new sign for their bedroom? Maybe a red, angry horse? That will do just fine.”
“Well I suppose, I could, although I’m not as good with wood as you think Nabiki.”
Ranma couldn’t take it anymore “I’m done! Thanks Kasumi!” She ran off.
Akane needed a few words with her so, “Good as always big sister. Ranma come back here!” She ran off...
After the two had left, Nabiki laughed. “Man, I didn’t think it would be this much fun! I am definitely going to get a video camera now!”
“Nabiki, can we tell them now? I don’t fell good about this.”
“Oh relax; everything will be just fine…”
Dun Dun DUHNNN!!!

Nodoka was meanwhile on her trip around the ward, an after deciding to get official papers on her son’s marriage; she was now arriving at her next destination.
“The Kunos are taken care of, and its official, my son is married! Plus that contact with us is fulfilled now, he will be so happy to see that. That reminds me, I have to get Akane to know how to use a sword; I don’t want her to be as clumsy as me if she has to use it.”
She was now at her destination. Which was…
