Tanya blinked as she heard the door being knocked on. Truth be told, she didn't want to be around Julia. The tension in the air every time they were in the same room was down right unbearable. "I'll get it."
Ranma looked at his wife and nodded, and glued his eyes to her rear-end when she was going to answer the door.
Julia shook her head and sighed, 'Young love.' Speaking outload to Ranma she asked, "So besides sparring against me and some training, how's your life with Tanya treating you?"
Ranma looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "You actually have to ask? You saw how we were acting when you came in."
Julia blushed a bit and nodded. "Yeah, but why did you marry her?" She was genuinly curious. During the time that she was there and talking to them, she had only gotten down to business. By all accounts G'Nolga should take at least two more days.
Ranma shrugged, "I was lonely, I went to a tavern to meet people, she was lonely, she went to the same tavern to get laid, and the two of us just kept meeting each other off and on and eventually fell in love."
Julia raised an eyebrow in respect. 'He obviously doesn't care about Tanya's past, and he wants to help her forget it.'
********
Tanya blinked as she opened the door and saw a man in ninja garb wearing a scarf around his neck as well as a portly man in a hawaiian shirt that was wearing a wooden face mask. "May I help you?"
Tsunami nodded, "Yes, are you Mrs. Saotome?""
Tanya frowned, she hoped that these two weren't rivals of her husband's. "Yes I am why?"
"Is he home?"
Tanya nodded. Sabbo spoke up then, "Well, we were wondering if we could see him. We'd like to inform him on some developments concerning G'Nolga and some characters from his past."
Tanya nodded and let them into the house. As she was walking she asked a question that was on her mind. "Excuse me. But, who are you two?"
Tsunami almost smiled with the question. "I am Tsunami, one of the ten Weaponsmasters of Jade, leader of the ninja clans, and father of the Armsmaster. I've heard you've had troubles with her family in the past."
Tanya sighed, slumping her shoulders a bit, there was no help for it. "Yes, I tried to kill you great-grandaughter, grandaughter, and grandson-in-law on the Astral plane five months ago. By the way, your great-grandaughter was just born."
Tsunami blinked, "Hmm, looks like I'll have go to the Earth Realm when this is over."
Tanya turned to Sabbo. "And you are?"
Sabbo smirked, though you couldn't tell from underneath his mask. "I am Sabbo, the Hidden Emperor of Jade, age 49." Tanya sweat-dropped at the fat fool.
Tanya shook her head as she came into the kitchen/meeting room. Ranma blinked when he saw Tsunami. "Hello sensei."
Tsunami bowed his head, "Hello Ranma."
Now Tanya and Julia were blinking, "You know him dad?"
Nodding Tsunami answered, "Yes, I met him around six months ago. He was looking for someone. He moved like a fighter, so I asked if I could test him. Long and short, he gave me a really good fight and managed to hurt me." Tsunami didn't mention that he had nearly beaten Ranma to a pulp. "Anyways, I've been training him a bit and teaching him a trick or two. When he got married, I agreed to wait until his honeymoon was over before having a full-out fight."
Julia blinked, she didn't think that the kid that gave her such a good fight was trained by her father. "Well, he's a good fighter, he can give me or G'Nolga a run for our money."
Tsunami nodded. Ranma looked at Sabbo. "Principle Kuno?"
Sabbo face-faulted, "How dare you compare me to him? And what made you say that?"
Ranma sweat-dropped, "I was going for the best-case senario. You look like Principle Kuno, just with a few pounds, and wearing a mask. If you were pops, I'd have to kick your ass from here to Seer's Hamlet and back."
(A.N. Remember he's living at the Retreat right now.)
Sabbo sweat-dropped, "I guess having a father that sells you out at every turn would make you angry at him."
Ranma nodded, "Yep, multiple fiancees though he never cared to uphold those promises, tying me to the back of a train that ran from Tokyo to Kyoto and forcing me to run, lion's cub training." Ranma stopped as he noticed everyone, except Tanya, staring at him incrudulously. "What? I'm telling the truth, and that's the easy stuff."
Julia sweat-dropped, "How old were you for those trainings?"
Ranma frowned and shrugged, "Between the ages of four to ten." Everyone sweat-dropped. Tanya just walked over to her husband's side and hugged him from behind. Ranma put his hands on her arms.
"Your father is a complete idiot who doesn't know the first thing of life."
"So, he may be a complete and total asshole, but he's a good martial arts trainer, that is, whenever he's not doing something stupid. By the way, who are you?" Ranma finished looking at Sabbo.
"I am SABBO! The Hidden Emperor of Jade! Age 49. By the way, it is surprising to see that you married Tanya here."
Narrowing his eyes Ranma asked, "Oh, why?" If this guy insulted his wife, he would make him pay. No one insulted his wife and got away with it, Ranma didn't care if the guy was Kami-sama himself.
Sabo shrugged, "It's just that she looks a bit like a cat, and you've got alurophobia."
Ranma shook his head, "As long as it's not a full cat, I'm allright."
Julia tuned out that conversation. "Hey dad. I was wondering?"
"Yes, I'll go and see my great-grandaughter."
Julia blinked, "How'd you know?"
"Tanya told me."
"Oh."
Sabbo nodded at Ranma's answer, he figured as much. He blinked as he remembered something, "By the way, that girl, Nabiki fixed up Gniess's War Golem Sentinel and it's heading this way."
Julia blinked and turned to Sabbo, "I thought I told him not to work with that damned thing anymore, and who's Nabiki?"
"Gniess's new student."
Ranma blinked, "Why would she fix up a War Golem?"
Sabbo shrugged, "To get back at you for some reason."
"Oh." Ranma nodded.
********
A figure stood at the shore. In only one to three days, it would reach Seer's Hamlet. But not before causing a path of destruction that would make an Amazon jealous. Yes R-Sentinel had arrived. And apparently, it's direction sense was getting better.
Meanwhile. . .
"Ha! You forget that I know that move as well."
