Akane got up just knowing that it was going to be a good day. Kasumi was looking a little shellshocked while fixing breakfast, Nabiki was looking puzzled as she munched on some toast, Ranma and Genma were sitting at the table next to their backpacks. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and ?!?!
Wait. Back up.
Akane went to the two subdued Saotomes and their luggage. "What's going on here?"
Genma let out a long breath. "We argued long into the night, and we have come to a conclusion regarding the Tendo - Saotome union."
"Yeah," said Akane, wondering what this lame plan would be.
"Ranma isn't ready for marriage. Neither are you." Genma let out another deep breath. "We were hoping that you two would reconcile. That we'd see some indication that you two were meant to be."
"I was hoping my old friend hadn't done what Kasumi mentioned." Soun added. "Saotome, my old friend."
Akane looked over at Kasumi, hoping for more details.
"Akane, when I was looking over medical reports for Doctor Miso - Doctor Tofu's replacement," Kasumi began, faltering at that point, "uhm, I couldn't help but look at Ranma-kun's file."
Akane glanced back to Ranma who wouldn't look up.
"Due to an injury of a few years back, he's infertile." Kasumi just went ahead and said it. Get the dirty truth out in the open.
"WHAT?!" Akane covered her mouth on realizing they could probably hear her in Shinjuku.
"The Flames Of Perdition training," said Soun solemnly. "I have heard of the dreaded training to increase one's ability to heal from nearly any injury. The truth has been held until now."
"Ranma can't produce sperm because his father fried his balls with another inane training exercise," said Nabiki. "If the temperature on those little jewels goes up to high - permanent sterility can apparently result. Dang. Father, I am so glad you didn't drag us off on martial arts training missions."
Akane twitched. Her wish. It couldn't be. Could it?
"As a result of this, the merging of the houses cannot take place." Soun pronounced. "This might not be a permanent problem, if my old friend Genma can turn into a panda with cold water - a healing spell to restore fertility hardly sounds nearly as difficult to acquire. Until Ranma can supply proof of that, however, the deal is off."
Ranma continued to stare at his plate.
Ryouga popped up in the backyard. "Hahahahaha! Ranma! I heard it all. Looks like you're less than half a man after all!"
"Excuse me," said Ranma, getting up from the table to go in back and discuss this with Ryouga.
Akane ignored the sounds of combat in the back, just before -
