Nodoka sighed, it had been a week since she had seen her son or husband. While she could see Ranma staying at the Tendo Dojo to get and know his fiancee better, she really wished her good-for-nothing husband would come home and perform his duties. She really wished that she hadn't forced that contract on Ranma, then they could have known each other better than what they do now.
Meanwhile outside. . .
"I'm still surprised that Tirga and I aren't drawing more stares Nabiki, it's kinda got me on edge."
"I hate to say it but he's right." Added an equally some-what freaked-out Tirga. A half an hour after Tirga and Nabiki met up, they ran into Gar, who was in his human form, after finding out what Ranma and Sheila were up to, Nabiki told them to follow her to a friends house. Along the way Nabiki convinced Gar to switch back into hybrid form. While he did it reluctantly, he and Tirga were surprised that no one went screaming in terror or even freaked out. Most people muttered something about a 'Juce-en-kyo' place and curses, there was even this chinese boy with a dragon-vest muttering about the damn Musk, perverts and fem-boys. In short, it confused the hell out of the two Lycanthrope.
"I told you two, you have to be down right freakish to get more than quick glance around here. Hell, there was this one time an alien in a bikini, who had horns, green hair and shot lighning bolts showed up and only the resident perverts showed any interest in her, and that was because of her body, nothing else."
"But still, I find this a little weird." Gar mused, this place was nearly as weird as Atlanta, then again, that was probably a good thing.
Nabiki shook her head, "As long as you aren't destroying someone's property, no one cares what you're doing. Hell, the construction companies pay Ryoga to knock down buildings, that is, whenever he's in town." If anyone had seen Nabiki at this point, they would be freaking, Nabiki 'Ice Queen' Tendo, giving information away for free? Well, Nabiki was feeling generous, that's all.
(A.N. Nabiki generous, isn't that like one of the signs of the appocolipse coming or something? Shut-up, she's not as bad as she's made out in fanfics.)
Reaching the front door of the Saotome home, Nabiki knocked and waited for Nodoka to show up. The door opened and revealed the Saotome matriarch. "Nabiki-chan, what are you?" She then noticed two people behind Nabiki. "Nabiki-chan, who are your friends? Cosplayers? Furries? Or Lycanthrope?"
Gar and Tirga facefaulted upon hearing that, and Nabiki blinked a couple of times. "Lycanthrope. How'd you know about this kind of stuff?" Nodoka was one of the most traditional women around.
Nodoka smirked, "Well before I met Genma, I had a friend in high-school that liked to cosplay a bit. Then there was my other friend who was a werewolf, but she moved away before graduation. And during one of Genma's training trips, I met this cat-girl who was a dancer, Felicia I believe it was. Anyways that's how I know of that kind of stuff."
Nabiki shook her head, 'Should've figured that Genma wasn't the only one who Ranma got his weirdness from.' "Auntie Nodoka, I'm here to talk about Ranma."
Nodoka got all serious when she heard that, "What do you mean, what happened to Ranma?"
"Nothing serious, but let's go inside."
Nodoka stepped back and let all three of them in. After serving them like a proper Japanese housewife, Nodoka got down to buisness. "What happened to Ranma?"
"Well, it's like this." Nabiki went on to explain what had been going on between the fiancees, who the two out-of-towners were, and how Ranma was doing and how his relationship was going with Sheila, with occational help from Tirga and Gar.
When Nabiki was finished Nodoka sighed, "And here I thought Akane was a nice girl. I'll have to have a talk with Soun about the engagement soon."
"Don't." Nodoka looked at Nabiki in surprise, "Don't tell Daddy about what's going on until it's too late, he'll just try and stop it, same with Mr. Saotome, and Cologne."
Nodoka nodded her head, "You're right." Then a wide smile spread across her face. "But there is one thing I've got to say about Ranma."
"Oh, what's that?" Though Nabiki had a idea what was coming up.
Taking a deep breath and pulling out the Japanese victory fans Nodoka went "WAI MY SON IS SOO MANLY!! HE'S GOING TO GIVE LOTS AND LOTS OF GRANDBABIES!!" to the heavens. Gar and Tirga did a sitting facefault and big-sweated at the site of Nodoka doing the happy mother's dance. Nabiki just shook her head, she was used to it.
