Nodoka was almost at the Tendo Dojo now, glad to have done what she did for her son today. She took a detour to talk to the chef friend of Ranma and Akane, Ukyo, but her restaurant was closed when she got there. Still, getting the Kunos and the Amazons off the new couple’s back was good progress for one day. Plus she got Ranma and Akane’s marriage official now. Yes, it was a good day.
‘Now, just get a few things from here then I’ll leave the two alone.’ That brought a smile to Nodoka’s face.
She came in quietly and saw Nabiki watching T.V. eating potato chips.
“So, how did it go Nabiki?”
“Huh, oh you’re here Auntie.” She looks left and right, seeing no signs of the ‘victims’ she continues. “They actually bought it. Those magic rings are working exactly as it said it would, helped.”
“That’s good to hear, did they mak-”
“No, there are no grandchildren for you yet. Stop being so impatient. How were your errands that you had to do? What were they anyway?”
“Oh that. I just got most of my children’s suitors to leave them alone, that’s all.” Nodoka smiled at that.
Nabiki was in doubt mode “Really? You really got the Kunos off their backs? The Amazons? Ukyo? They don’t give up easy.”
“Well, not the last one, her restaurant is closed. The Kunos are in an asylum, and the Amazons won’t bother them anymore according to Cologne.”
“Wow, I’m impressed.” Nabiki ate another chip “That’s more done than the rest of us combined over the course of this last year.”
“Well, I realized Ranma and Akane couldn’t handle this on their own, they are quite popular. I just had to do something.”
“They’d be glad to hear that.” She took a potato chip and ate it, not dramatically, but, she did anyway. “So, what are you going to do now? They can’t really do it tonight anyway with you here.” ‘Not to mention they are both girls right now.’
“My home is almost finished, I will sleep there tonight, I’ll just get my stuff. Oh, I almost forgot, I got the contract made official today. It’s 100% official!” She handed a copy of the document to Nabiki.
Nabiki read it over, eyes widening more and more after every sentence “This is exactly the same as the one upstairs! How is this legal?!”
“Oh, it’s just a new clause under ‘Japan is weird’ which allows them to do this if it involves at least one bonding magical item or magical reincarnations. Other things that could work are if they are of space nobility or superheroes. The government doesn’t want to interfere with world saving people.” Nodoka smiled brighter. While her son didn’t count as a superhero (yet), he did have magical items and that will work just fine.
Nabiki was in crisis mode ‘This is legal?! WHAT KIND OF IDIOTS WOULD MAKE A CLAUSE LIKE THAT?! If they find out…” “OH SHI-”
“That was Stupid Akane! ‘Oh I’ll just hit you to see what color it glows!" What were you thinking?! You forgot it hurts you too didn’t you!” a very angry and female Ranma exclaimed loudly.
“I said I was sorry idiot!” Akane retorted “I was just curious alright! It’s you fault anyway jerk!”
“How is it my fault?! You hit me from behind on the roof!”
“Only because I needed to know that’s all!”
Nodoka saw them walking into the room and greeted them “Children, how were you today?”
“Mom?! I err… hi.”
“Auntie, uh, how are you?”
“Oh just call me mother, Akane. How has the marriage thing been?”
“Uh, your son’s a great man… uh… I’m happy.” Akane said nervously
‘Great Akane, just great. Well, she knows everything about us anyway, you don’t need to talk like I’m not here!”
“I’ll leave you two be for tonight, Ranma, why are you female right now. That’s not manly.”
“Uh, Auntie,” Nabiki regained her composure “The rings make it so that Ranma is male at day and female at night. Water doesn’t work anymore.”
“You need to change that soon. I mean lesbianism is a great appetizer and desert, but the main course should be meatier than that.” She walked up the stairs “I will be sleeping at our rebuilt home, Ranma. That should give you enough time for morning breakfast right? Good luck on you mutual slavery.”
All 3 of them couldn’t move.
“I… err… uh…” Went Ranma
“Screwed… I… me… am… over… my… head… now… not tell… not… screwed…” Went Nabiki
“…” went anime statue Akane
“Oh my! It’s not healthy to be like that Akane.” Kasumi said as she walked in
“…”
“Going… to… die… now… everyone… kill… me… they… will… screwed... Am… I…”
“Well, not really, um, I err, ah.”
Kasumi left and came back with a bucket of water “Akane?”
“…”
“Please stop being a statue.”
“…”
“It’s not healthy.”
“…”
“I have water now.”
“…”
“Oh well, I need you to move little sister.” She threw water at the mumbling duo.
“Ah! Why am I wet! I didn’t do it Akane! Oh… um… how long were we like that?”
“Ranma this is all your fault… somehow… right?”
“Why don’t you move your stuff into Akane’s room Ranma?” Nodoka asked as she came down the stairs with what she needed for one night.
“Um… sure.” Ranma bolted up the stairs.
“Hey come back here Ranma!” Akane ran after her.
“Nabiki, if you need to discuss more, meet me tonight, ok?”
“School… kill… me… now… screwed… fire… back…”
Nodoka was satisfied with that answer and went home.
Kasumi splashed Nabiki with another bucket of water.
“Kasumi?”
“You really messed this up Nabiki.”
“What will the school think?”
“Why must you tell them?”
“I have to before Nodoka does!”
“She is scaring me… she said she has a present for Akane when she sleeps with male Ranma.” Kasumi frowned
“She’s insane! This whole thing is legal! How was I supposed to know that would happen! Who knows what she’ll do next?”
“Why don’t you talk to her then?” Kasumi suggested
“After you messed up my chips, you better talk to her.”
“Nabiki? Why don’t you use your network then?”
“Oh right, I’ll just use my ‘network’ of people to spy on Auntie.” Nabiki said sarcastically “I don’t have one! It’s just to intimidate people! I don’t know much at all!”
“Then how do you know who to kill, Nabiki?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Those chips, and that notebook in your room.”
“I don’t have a death note!”
“Oh my, I thought that’s why you had a network of people.” Kasumi was now deep in thought
“ARRRGGGGG!!!” Nabiki isn’t as calm as her sister.
The weirdest part, Death Note was playing on TV in that room. Somehow…
