Ranma Meets the Avatron's part 3
By Peter A. Sehavilin
Proofread by Wray Loflin

Dawn had come to Nerima and Ranma was just waking
up from a restful night sleep. Something Ranma was not
all to use to with his father's loud snoring and frequent
nightmares. Or the occasional late night attack by one of
his rivals. Wondering why his father had not gotten him
up yet for the morning training like he usually did. It took
Ranma a few seconds to remember the previous day's
events. Looking at the ceiling Ranma realized where he
was. He was at the Starliner home that they bought
here. It was almost as large as the Kuno estate in size,
wondering why they got such a large house Noha simply
answered that he had a large extended family. If he and
Lorena were going to stay here for a while, he wanted a
lot of room for any other family members that came to
visit them. Hearing that Ranma just wondered just how
large the Starliner family was.

Then when Ranma was looking around the house got
the scare of his life. Since the Neko-ken training he had
an uncontrollable fear of cats. He came across one the
size of a medium size dog. After just taking one look at it
he freaked and ran away from it as fast as he could.
Leaving a Ranma shaped hole in the wall. He wanted to
be as far away as he could from the beast.

After calming down and meeting back up with Noha and
Lorena. He then learned that the large cat was a type of
pet. He had to explain the Neko-ken training to them.
Noha said the cat was a Cartail, a cat common on their
home world and was similar to domestic cats on earth.
Then Lorena added how Ranma would react to Tanis
and Nime when he met them again. Ranma was terrified
at learning that there were some giant humanoid cats
waiting to meet him. But then Noha said he might be
able to help with his fear with them. When Ranma asked
how Noha had said to him they would try and place a
post hypnotic suggestion to him so he would not see
them as cats. Instead he would most likely only see
them as strange looking people. And tend to see Cartail
more like a strange dog than a cat. Fooling his fear into
thinking they were something else. It was not a cure, but
it would help him deal with meeting them without
freaking out again.

As Ranma thought of the events of last night, he noticed
that he was not alone in the futon. "Not again," thinking
to himself. Looking under the covers he found Lorena
sleeping next to him. "Strange I never sensed her
coming into the room last night," he thought to himself.
Then he noticed that she wasn't wearing anything. That
almost caused him to bolt out of the futon when he saw
the wings on her back. However he noticed that they
were different from the phoenix people he had
encountered. Instead of eagle like wings, Lorena's were
shaped more like a dove's wing. Ranma's sudden
movement caused Lorena to stir and bring her body
closer to him giving him an eyeful at of her body.

Feeling the start of a nosebleed, like the time he felt
when Shampoo snuck into his room when she first came
to Nerima. He almost expected Akane to barge in and
douse them with water, calling him a pervert or
something. He then had a small nosebleed as he
remembered what Lorena did when she learnt of his
curse. Lorena didn't seem to mind at all. He never
realized his female form could have such sensations
from just a person's touch. People had touched him in
his girl form before but it always felt foreign to him.
Lorena's touch not only felt right was also quite
pleasurable as well. It did scare him that her touch felt
like that to him, but at the same time was comforting to
know the she would accept him for himself no matter
what form he was in. To Lorena he was just Ranma no
matter if he was a girl or a boy.

Ranma was also wondering what this bond was all
about. With all the excitement the other day he didn't get
around to asking Noha about it. If the bond was like
being a soulmate he once heard about. It pretty much
meant that he was all but married to Lorena already. If
that was true why did Noha give him a choice in
marrying her? "Maybe there is more to it then just being
soulmates," Ranma thought to himself. Though if
marriage was anything like it was now, having Lorena in
his arms while she sleeps like this, he really didn't mind.

Looking at the sleeping girl in his arms brought a warm
smile to him. Lorena was currently sucking her thumb
while she's sleeping. Giving her a more childlike
apparent. He sensed from her a warm contented feeling.
He had already learned to use the link they had really
helped him in stopping the foot in mouth behavior of his.
He could now feel from Lorena when he said something
stupid that ended up hurting her feelings. Like on the
way to the Starliner's house, Lorena had asked him if he
loved her. He immediately did what he always did and
denied it. That caused Lorena to become upset and sad,
"Do you even like me, Ranma? She asked. Ranma
feeling Lorena being upset and sad tried to say
something to cheer her up. But he was failing} miserably
like he usually did. Stopping for a bit when he realized all
he was doing was confusing her. Then thought to
himself what his feelings about Lorena were. Instantly
Lorena had a bright smile on her face. "You do love me."
Then gave him a hug. "I did not say that" Ranma said
falling into old habits. Lorena sensing what Ranma was
feeling said to him "We're not mates yet but you still
have some love for me. "What if we don't become
mates," Ranma said without thinking. He almost felt like
slapping himself for saying it before thinking. "We will still
have what we have right now, I would like to be mates
someday, but at least we will still be friends," Lorena told
Ranma.

Ranma was surprised by her answer, she just told him.
She just said that no matter what happened they would
always be friends. No other person had ever said that to
him and meant it. Akane said she wanted to be his
friend, but that was when he was in his girl from. When
she found out he was really a boy, All she seemed to
think of him was a pervert like all the other boys his age.
After that things seemed to get worse and Akane never
did treat him like she did when they first met. Then there
was Ukyo; she was considered his best friend. Although
even all he really thought of her was as his best friend.
All she kept saying was how she was Ranma's cute
fiancee. He did hear her say how she knew that he loved
her. But how could he say something if he did not even
know what love was. Ranma also thought of Ukyo as
being his oldest friend. In the end she was just like all
the other fiancees. Quickly pointing out that honor
demanded that he must marry her. The last thing that
had shown him just how much she was just like all the
other ones was the wedding incident when she and
Shampoo showed up with their surprises.

Next was Shampoo, by Shampoo`s village laws Ranma
was now considered her husband, by defeating her in a
fight. The first time was when he was a girl during the
Joketsuzoku Village tournament. For which he received}
the kiss of death. Ranma then learned the first of the
outsider laws. If an outsider girl defeated an Amazon,
said Amazon must chase that outsider to the ends of the
Earth and kill them. Shampoo even chased them all over
China and then to Nerima. Then at the Tendo home he
had inadvertently defeated Shampoo a second time
while protecting Akane from Shampoo. Then she gave
him the kiss of marriage. Learning the second part of her
village laws. If an Outsider male defeats an Amazon she
must marry him. What worried Ranma the most was
Shampoo`s lines of Obstacles are for killing. He did not
think she had actually killed anyone yet. But he did have
a idea that most likely what held her back from carrying
out that threat was mainly if she did try, the reprisals of
such action to her would be quite severe. But Lorena
being an alien just might be reason enough for Shampoo
to try and actually carry out that threat. Especially with
Lorena not knowing how to defend herself.

Lastly there was Kodachi, She was the one Ranma was
most worried about. Although she was not a true fiancee
Kodachi simple appointed herself as one. She thought
that simply being a Kuno meant she was above
everyone in social status. Her and her brother constantly
stated how that they where descended from Nobility and
Samurai blue blood which meant that all others in
Nerima were just mere peasants to them, And beneath
them in social status. Ranma was also convinced that all
of the Kuno families were insane. The only thing that
kept them out of the loonybin was the Kuno fortune.
Through prior experience Ranma was certain that even
though Lorena was not a martial artist, she would just
twist honor around in her insane logic she used and
attacks Lorena anyway. If Kodachi followed her usual
MO., and attack at night sneaking in Lorena's rooms she
would most like end up seriously hurting Lorena. Ranma
also thought the way Noha protected his daughter
Kodachi would most likely leave in a body bag if she
ever managed to do it.

Ranma as of right now did not want to discuss with Noha
how he felt of his other fiancees. Thinking that Noha
would just move all of them back to New Avatron if he
voiced his concerns. Noha was overprotective of Lorena
and Ranma was certain if he told him what he felt he
would definitely think it was too dangerous for her. So
Ranma thinking he could protect Lorena with Noha's
help decided for right now he would keep his feelings to
himself.

Right now he just looked at Lorena as she slept in his
arms. Still a little uncomfortable at Lorena not having any
clothes on, but not as troubling to him as the last time
Shampoo snuck in his room with him waking up to a
similar situation. Mainly because while Shampoo came
to try and seduce him, Lorena just came in to be with
him.

Ranma stroked her hair while Lorena had her head on
his chest. He watched as she ruffled her wings in her
sleep, and was currently softly sucking on her thumb.
Ranma blushed as he looked at her body, Lorena had
an innocent beauty to her and because of her lack of
dress, and Ranma could not help but notice that she was
to all extent a young woman with a fully developed body.
He would not mind her sleeping like this if she at least
had some pajamas on. He was really glad that Akane
was not around right now. Not for getting malleted into
l.e.o. That she would do if she saw this. More it was she
would end up disturbing Lorena and causing her to wake
up to an unpleasant scene. Ranma just hoped that
Akane would not try and get back at Lorena for her own
dishonorable behavior the previous day. Akane tended
to blame others for her own fault. A behavior Ranma had
the bruises from, and ruin her chances to get her tumor
cured. Although Akane had ruined any feelings of love
Ranma might have for her, he still cared for Akane and
hoped that Noha could help her.

The thing that really had Ranma worried was what Noha
said that something was making the tumor worse.
Akane's aura was that of a healthy young woman and
showed no sign of anything wrong. With the stage of the
tumor that Noha said it was at Akane's aura should have
shown signs of it. Tofu definitely should have sensed it.
After Noha revealed that, Ranma checked Akane's aura
closely. What Ranma found was very disturbing to him.
Whatever it was, it was masking her aura so well as to
make it appear to be normal. Hiding Akane's true aura.
There were only two persons in Nerima that knew about
enchanted herbs that could change or mask a person's
aura. Ranma knew them both and pretty much knew
who it was. He was planning in the next few days to
confront the person with his suspicions. He definitely
wanted to check up on his suspicions before hand.
Because if they turned out to be true he wanted to
handle it before that person could threaten Lorena.

Stroking Lorena's hair a little Ranma was still a little
surprised} how warm to the touch it was. Seeing how her
hair was alive and had small blood vessels in it. Gave it
a warmer feel to it than human hair. While stroking her
hair Ranma got a good look at her ears. They were
actually pointed just like an elf's would be. "Are the
Avatron's actually the race the legends about elves
came from?" Ranma thought to himself. The claws on
her feet he almost missed if Lorena's foot had not
brushed against his leg. Although the claws on Lorena's
feet were retracted into her toes Ranma felt they were
not all that sharp. Actually they felt dull. Like an animal's
claws that were mostly used in climbing rock. Which was
possible considering that Avatron's had wings. Which
meant they could most likely fly as well.

"Ouch" said Ranma as he felt something prick his
fingers. Looking at his hand he saw a long thin quill
stuck in his finger. His hand was becoming numb.
Ranma could quickly tell that he was in no danger; just
that whatever was in the quill would just make his hand a
little numb. It felt like his hand was asleep and that it was
just waking up. This would be scary if not for the fact that
Noha said to him. Ranma thought to himself, The
Avatron's might be a peaceful race, which according to
Noha had no hostile intentions. Ranma felt no deception
from Noha when he told him that, but physically they
w
ere a very dangerous and deadly race. Realizing how
probably the quill came off Lorena's scalp he thought
that if she used her hair as a whip she could then fling
the quills like a dart. Whatever was in the quills would
then cause paralysis in most that would be hit by it.
Ranma wrapped the quill in a handkerchief to give to
Tofu. Before teaching Lorena how to use her hair that
way to defend herself, he wanted to see that such a
tactic would be safe to a normal person. Plus remind
himself to only stroke Lorena's hair downward as to not
disturb her quills.

Ranma was a little relieved that Lorena had the ability to
defend herself. Now the problem was in actually training
her and get her to use it. She was just too gentle for her
own good and she was too easy to frighten. Ranma
hoped he could protect Lorena and was confident that
he could. But the more Lorena could defend herself
would make him felt more at ease. Lorena had wanted to
be his friend foremost and his fiancee second. The
simple fact that she accepted him for himself something
so far only she and Noha had seemingly done so far. If
Lorena was going to be a real friend Ranma was going
to do everything in his power to protect her.

Ranma was so lost in thought he did not hear the knock
at the door. After a few seconds Noha entered the room.
Seeing that Ranma was awake Noha just smiled when
he saw his daughter was sleeping with him. "Time to get
up you two. Breakfast will be ready in a little while, and
it's almost time for Ranma to go to school." Noha said to
them.

Lorena woke up to her father's voice, opened her eyes
and looked at Ranma with a smile. "Morning Ranma"
Lorena said with a smile giving him a kiss on the cheek.
To Ranma's shock she sat up and stretched her body
out spreading her wings as she put her arms over her
head while stretching the nights sleep from her. Which
gave Ranma a full view of her body. Ranma's eyes
almost popped out of his head, a trail of blood fell from
his nose. Lorena was beautiful and Ranma was
definitely attracted to how Lorena was innocently
displaying herself. To Ranma, Lorena's display made
her look like some exotic angel.

Ranma quickly become nervous that Noha was seeing
him looking at Lorena's naked body and was a little
fearful on how Noha would react to it. "It's not what it
looks like" he nervously told Noha "I can explain" he
added.

"That Lorena came in here last night while you were
sleeping deciding she wanted to sleep with you for the
night, and is currently stretching out in front of you in the
nude after she woke up," Noha said to Ranma sensing
his nervousness.

Ranma was a little surprised at Noha's comment, with a
sweat drop formed on the back of his head. Noha also
seemed not mind that Lorena was totally naked in front
of him. With an even bigger blush he then noticed what
Lorena's hair color would be if it was like normal human
hair. It seemed a certain spot was more normal, a nice
Blonde patch of hair caught Ranma's eyes. It figured that
she was a blonde. Not from the stereotype that blondes
were dumb and seemingly oblivious to things around
them, but because Avatron's seem to be an opposite of
such things. Meaning that as far as Ranma could tell
Lorena was a lot smarter than her behavior seemed to
make her out to be. He just wished that Lorena's current
position gave him a nice view of that blonde patch of hair
and what lay beneath it.

Noha then watched as a trail of blood ran down from
Ranma's nose. Lorena seeing the blood got a keenness
and bent over and began clean the blood from his nose,
which unfortunately for Ranma gave him a better look at
Lorena's nude body which caused more blood to flow
from his nose.

"Are you ok, Ranma? Are you getting a cold?" Lorena
asked Ranma concern look on her face. Lorena then
placed her hand on Ranma's head. You don't feel like
you have a fever Ranma. She said then taking Ranma's
head she then placed it in her bosom hugging him while
resting her cheek to his.

Ranma's pigtail shot straight out a good lick at Lorena's
breasts. He was fearful how Noha would take this and
pretty much expected Lorena's father to do something to
him for being in a compromising position. "I hope Noha
does not blow up to much and gives me the chance to
explain this" Ranma thought to himself.

"Lorena, Ranma is fine, I think that this is a little new to
him, remember that humans have different customs than
we do. Noha informed his daughter. Lorena relieved that
Ranma was ok let him go and sat back up. She then
gave Ranma a warm smile. Ranma, why don't you go
take a bath and relax before breakfast, It should be
ready by the time your done". Noha told them.

Lorena then stood up and grabbed Ranma's arm pulling
him up on his feet "Lets take a bath together" she said
almost dragging Ranma with her. Noha heard a faint
"help" from Ranma, as Lorena seemed to drag him from
the room and down the hall to the bath. "I need to have a
talk with her before she gives Ranma too much of a
shock," Noha thought to himself, heading back to the
kitchen to finish breakfast.

After getting into the kitchen and getting back to work on
finishing breakfast. Noha then heard a shriek from
Ranma-chan and a giggle from his daughter. "Looks like
both of them made it into the bath". Noha thought to
himself. He hoped Lorena would go a little easier on
Ranma. He knew through experience that Avatron's life
and customs could be intimidating to someone new to
them. Ranma simply from what he could tell had not
been in an environment where he did not need to be on
his guard all the time. Or one that had people that
wanted him to be himself and not try to make him be
what they wanted him to be.

Noha remembered back to when he first met Ranma and
his father. Genma not realizing that he had wandered
into an alien world. Genma let his greed get the better of
him. He sent Ranma to steal some gold from a mansion
they had come across, which happened to be where he
and his family lived. It was Nime that found Ranma as he
made is way through the large yard they had. Ranma
was first frightened of Nime, but tried to put up a brave
front. The young Ranma's charms that only made Nime
more attached to him. Soon they were playing in the
yard while Tanis confronted Genma. Just one look at
Tanis caused Genma to run for the hills for a couple of
days. Nime then took the young Ranma and for all
particular purposes adopted Ranma as her own. During
the few days that Genma had stayed away in hiding,
Nime had become a surrogate mother to Ranma. It was
a funny sight to see just how much the young five-year-
old Ranma had so charmed Nime. She went so far as to
even nurse Ranma while he slept in her arms. Even
though the five-year-old Ranma was about the same
size as one of Nime's young cubs that were still of the
nursing age. She still tended to treat other children of
that size, as she would treat her own cubs.

"Well that not all that true" Noha thought to himself she
even did the same thing to him when she got in that
playfully motherly mood with him. Being bonded to her
was always interesting. Noha with a smile remembered
when they first met all those years ago. Both Tanis and
Nime had wandered through one of the more random
portals that formed on New Avatron. Noha was one of
the firsts on the scene with the reports of a large
humanoid cat being seen. One that was definitely a
pretty was wandering around the suburbs of a large city,
and that some livestock in the area was already taken
from some of the farms. Mostly large grazing animals
The Avatron authorities hastily began to search for them
and anymore that might have wandered through the
portal before it closed.

Upon meeting Nime for the first time she literally
backhanded him through a tree. After checking him out
began circling him just little distance from him. Noha at
first was a little lost at her behavior to him, Noha knew
he had no chance against her unarmed and with that
backhand of hers, he lost his sidearm. Although Noha
doubted that just a sidearm would help him at all against
her. It was during that time Noha had picked up a musky
scent from her. Noha then quickly realized she was in
heat and was a little confused as to if Noha was her prey
or a potential mate. Noha then realized that his life was
on the line to which one she decided on. Prey or a
potential mate. So Noha let his gifted side out and went
to work on showing her he was definitely a potential
mate. Which during that time he bonded with her. Since
then she was one playful kitty anytime they were
together. Their sharing (lovemaking) was always
interesting.

When Tanis was found Noha's sister Sara decided Noha
was not going to have all the fun and volunteered to as
she put it, to calm down the male one. Or any female
she could come across if she could. Two days later she
brought Tanis home with a very satisfied grin on her
face. By that time Noha had learned their language from
Nime. Tanis and Nime were already were mates before
they happened to wander through the portal and were
the alpha`s of their pride. After that both had helped
rounding up all of their race that happened to wander to
New Avatron. Tanis turned out to be the wildest of the
bunch and Tanis and Nime decision to join the Avatron
Police force just tended to prove it. It took a lot of
explaining to teach both of them that you don't eat the
criminals, you arrest them was one of the hardest things
Noha had to make them learn. Although the first few
cases they were on where that happened did cause
crime in the offworld section of the City to take a
nosedive. The few criminals that remained were rarely
that stupid enough to try and find out if it was still true or
not. Strangely the only one that Tanis listened to without
question was Noha`s own mother Salena. She took it on
herself to teach him proper behavior. Seeing her for the
first time leading Tanis by the ear when he did
something wrong was just too comical.  A barely five-foot
Avatron woman leading a twelve-foot Tanis by the ear
was a sore sight to see. Then Tanis decided to do
something that later turned out on his part to be one of
the biggest mistakes he had made so far. Deciding that
he was going to show her that he was a adult male and
not some small child really was not all that bright of him.
But it did take about two weeks for the resulting grin to
wear off his mother's face. Tanis thought by proving
himself a dominant adult male would mean she would no
longer treat him like a child. But sure enough when the
next time she decided she wanted some more quality
time with Tanis. Smiling she just grabbed his ear again
and then dragged him into her room. Noha could not to
this day get out of his mind the look on Tanis`s face. The
look of sobbing on his face out of place and just too
funny especially with his pitiful pleas of help when
Salena led him away. Regardless of how old the person
was, if Salena was displeased with you, she tended to
treat that person as she would a child.

Ranma during the few days he was away from his father
also became a very close friend to Lorena, they quickly
became inseparable. They spent most of the time
together playing and with Ranma trying to show some of
the Martial arts to Lorena and had even tried to teach
her some moves. Noha watched for the first time as
Lorena's red star side actually started to show itself.
Something Noha thought was impossible since her gifted
side was so dominate it was thought that her red star
side would always be dormant. He was also surprised
when the two formed a pre-bond with the close
friendship that they had formed. Both should have been
too young for such a bond to happen. But since it was
already there, there was really nothing Noha could do
about it. But it did spark his interest to just what the
young Ranma was capable of. After learning a little of
how Genma was raising Ranma he decided that he was
going to get Ranma out from under Genma's control.
Genma was definitely not fit to raise a child and definitely
was the worst father alive to Noha. He began with Tanis
and Nime's help to start the investigation on Genma
Saotome. Come to find out it seemed that Genma liked
to use Ranma to do his dirty work for him. Or at least
use Ranma to blame the crime on. Genma had already
started to use Ranma for the skipped meals and debts
he made on New Avatron. Using Ranma's name on
many debts he made on New Avatron, or leaving notes
to send the bill to Ranma at Noha's Address.

When Genma returned he first tried to sneak and take
Ranma. But Tanis found him when he tried it. Genma
was frightened that Tanis could detect him while he was
using the Umisen-ken. Tanis then brought him to Noha.
Genma quickly started groveling at Noha`s feet although
Genma told himself he was just using the Crouch of the
wild Tiger. Noha realized right there that Genma was not
just a common thief, but was also a spineless coward.
Then Noha told him about the pre-bond that Ranma and
Lorena had formed, and also informed him that Nime
had seemingly had adopted Ranma as one of her cubs.
It would most likely take a few days to convince her to let
Ranma be returned to him. Genma then angrily said he
did not want some small and weak woman to interfere
and ruin Ranma`s training. Genma hearing a low growl
behind him turned to see a very pissed off Nime. Nime
all nine feet of her was currently in I am pissed mode.
Her long claws were out her fur rising and her large
leathery wings were spread out. Putting her muzzle right
in Genma's face said care to find out how weak I am
little man. Baring her sharp teeth to Genma when her
face was in his. She even made another growl at him.
Which caused Genma to turn white as a sheet. Genma
tried to get away using the Umisen-ken but Noha quickly
tripped Genma and Nime picked him up by the neck.
She then with her meanest look said if he ever tried to
harm Ranma or anyone in her Family again she would
eat him alive. After taking another look at the fat and
bald Genma she just shook her head " No Ill just use you
as a scratching post. Too much fat and hardly any meat
on you". She then tossed Genma at the wall. Looking at
Noha she then gave him a shrug. "Well a woman needs
to watch her figure and too much fat in a meal would
definitely ruin mine she told Noha. Then she walked to
the training hall in the house and while Genma was
watching used a training dummy to vent her anger.
Genma seeing Nime literally shredding it with her claws
fainted dead away when he saw just some of what she
was capable of doing. Thinking back to the training
manual he had recently picked up. " Yes," he said out
loud the Neko-ken will definitely make Ranma the best
martial artist ever." Tanis hearing this as he walked up
behind Genma asked, what was a Neko-ken. Genma
then turned around; he was shocked and also frightened
to have Tanis come up behind him without ever hearing
him approach. Genma then looked at him nervously that
it was a marital art technique that he recently came
across. Tanis said to him it would be best to fully read
the manual before he tried anything. Promising that he
would Genma quickly left the room.

It was a couple of days later that Genma finally decided
it was time to leave. If he stayed any longer his past
would start to catch up with him. He knew trying to put
the blame it on Ranma would not work here. It was then
Noha sensing that Genma was up to something, and
might try and make a run for it came up with the
contract. Noha at the time was trying to delay Genma a
few more days. Although he thought that there was no
way Genma could make it to the portal before it closed.
No human was capable of running over a hundred-miles
in a day before the portal closed thought Noha. Genma
after hearing the amount Noha was offering quickly
agreed to it. After taking the credit chip he asked Noha if
they found the portal. Noha told Genma where it was
and that it would only stay open for an another day or so.
Later after waiting for daybreak to come the time most
Avatron's would have to sleep. Genma was thankful that
the Avatron's happened to be a nocturnal race. It meant
he did not have to lose any sleep when he made a run
from the law here. Genma then grabbed Ranma and
made a run for the portal. All the while cursing at Ranma
for all the work he was making him do with this running,
and for all the disrespectful behavior Ranma had done
while at the Starliner Estate. After getting through the
portal back to Earth he gave the beating he thought
Ranma deserved for making all the trouble he
experienced while on New Avatron. Thinking he was
finally far away from those damn empaths, and they
would no longer be able to detect what he was doing. He
definitely needed to show Ranma what happened to him
when he disrespected his authority. The boy needed to
be reminded that he was in charge again he needed to
beat any thought out of Ranma`s mind that anyone
cared for him.

Noha could only guess at what Genma had went and
done after he returned to Earth. Though some could
have been figured out through the bond Lorena and
Ranma now shared. Noha had learned from Lorena that
Genma had beaten Ranma as soon as they got back to
Earth. Lorena cried for hours after it and both Tanis and
Nime vowed to permanently take care of Genma the
next time they saw him. Lorena not thinking ahead to
what might happen. Through a lot of hard work had sent
that through the bond. The next day Ranma most have
told Genma that because Lorena freaked out when
Ranma must have received a even worse beating than
before.

Then a year later Genma must have done something to
Ranma that was even worse. It was so horrible that both
Ranma and Lorena just barely survived it. They had to
keep Lorena in a comatose state for over two weeks so
that she could actually survive what was happening to
Ranma. It was for a few weeks afterwards she would
freak at seeing a Cartail. It took a lot of therapy before it
stopped and it took} months afterwards before she would
let any Cartail anywhere near her.

Still thinking about the past Noha continued to make
breakfast, wondering just what Genma had went and
done after he returned to Earth.

Genma waking up in a wooded area in a park in Tokyo
was angry "Damn that alien freak for all the things he did
to me" Genma thought to himself. " I thought the Neko-
ken would have taken care of that alien bitch for me,
Ranma belongs to me not some damn alien."

Genma wished he could have killed the bitch`s father
somehow. He knew with the forbidden techniques he
might be able to do it. But then those two beasts would
hunt him down like some animal. He needed to find out
somehow if those beasts followed Noha here. His only
chance at getting Ranma back under his control meant
he had to take care of Lorena and Noha permanently.

Genma then thought back to when he then found a way
to leave New Avatron. Wondering why his first plan to
get rid of Lorena failed.

Genma after waiting a year after leaving New Avatron
decided Ranma was old enough to learn the Neko-ken.
Taking Tanis`s advice he read the whole manual. After
reading it he was a little fearful that Ranma might go
insane but if he did it meant that Ranma was too weak to
be the true Martial artist Genma wanted him to be. But if
it was true about the severe trauma it could cause turned
out to be accurate. Then the little he had heard about
Avatron's Gifted that he had learned meant that Lorena
would most likely be killed because of trauma she would
experience through the bond. That also was dependent
on if the bond worked the way Genma thought it did as
well. Genma realized this by thinking that since Lorena
was an alien and not human the Code of Honor of a
marital artist would not apply. But he knew if ever asked
about it he would have to lie and say he never read the
warning. Genma really did not care if it was a banned
technique, if it meant that Lorena would be killed
because of it. With the fear of cats that the manual said
that the Neko-ken would install meant that Tanis and
Nime could never take Ranma away from him again.
Honor be damned Ranma belonged to him and was his
ticket to a life of luxury. With Nodoka's family setting up
a trust fund for when Ranma finally married. Genma had
found out about it from a letter Nodoka received from her
family. With the inheritance that Soun`s wife's family set
up for her and Soun`s heir meant that he could gain it all
for himself if he made sure that he just raised Ranma the
way he wanted. He just had to keep Ranma from
learning anything other than Martial arts. Genma vowed
that he would do everything in his power to make sure
that Ranma could never make friends again. Genma
also planned on disowning Ranma a little while after
Ranma married. All he had to do was engage Ranma to
someone every time the opportunity raised. Making sure
that at least one would show up after the marriage and
Ranma and his wife bore a proper heir. Then he could
use it as a excuse in claiming since Ranma failed to be
honorable and taking care of these false engagements,
and for dishonoring his wife disown Ranma and tossing
him out of the clan. Since he was the head of the clan
and because Nodoka was a traditional Japanese wife
could then do nothing about it. He also planned on
making sure then Ranma would end up being engaged
and married to the Tendo daughter that was least suited
to be a proper wife. Which Genma would use to disown
and toss her out of the clan after he did it to Ranma.
Claiming that Ranma would not have fallen from the path
of Honor if she had been a proper wife to Ranma.
Leaving him to that rightfully should already belong to
him. He could then repeat the process with Ranma's
child insuring that he would live the good life to a ripe old
age.

After he had learned of Jusenkyo he changed his plan,
when he heard about the spring of drowned girl. He
remembered back to when he made the pact to have
Ranma commit seppuku if Ranma was unmanly. If he
got Ranma cursed with the pool of drowned girl he could
have Nodoka do the dirty work for him, with Nodoka's
view on manliness. After taking Ranma to Jusenkyo and
after the incident with the Chinese Amazons. He actually
looked at the pact. "Damn that woman to hell for adding
that I would also commit seppuku if Ranma turned out to
be unmanly." Genma thought to himself. Genma decided
to divorce or find a way to toss her out of the clan in
dishonor as well. Although at first Nodoka's sense of
manliness and honor had at first served his interest. It
was now threatening his plans. Which meant to Genma
in his mind the bitch had to go. Besides it was getting
tiring in faking that he had actually loved her. Although
he did fear that sword of hers. That sword should have
now belonged to him when he married her. But Nodoka
insisted it was her Duty and Honor that she holds onto
the Saotome ancestral blade. Since she did go against
her family in marrying him she really could not give it to
him since he was only a Saotome by marriage. Actually
it would belong to Ranma once he married. Genma after
rereading the contract swore he was going to find a way
to get back at both Ranma and Nodoka for their
disrespect behavior. Ranma because that ungrateful son
of his for daring to actually getting him cursed as well
instead of just Ranma as he originally planned on, when
he brought him to Jusenkyo and Nodoka for being a
thorn in his side when it came to getting what should
rightfully be his. Now he just had to figure out how.

Genma after finishing packing his tent. One he got after
pawning Nodoka's sword cursed Noha and his ability to
plan ahead. Seems Noha had again taken from him
something that rightfully belonged to him and him alone.
It seemed that Noha had left instructions to the bank he
the check had come from at first that it could only be
deposited into the Saotome account. Then it would need
both Nodoka's and Genma's signatures before any of
the funds could be withdrawn. Making the money as of
now unavailable to him. All the bank had done was
deposit it in Nodoka's account. That ungrateful wife of
his had sometime during the training trip with Ranma
had removed him from being authorized to withdraw any
funds from her accounts. Making only the money he had
got from selling Nodoka's ancestral sword the only funds
he currently had.

Genma did not know what he was going to do, but he
needed to find a way to get back at Nodoka and Ranma
for what they did to him. He was the head of the family
and listening to that damn alien ruined his life long work.
He needed to get rid of the Starliner's as well.

While Genma was clearing his camp he heard a voice
yell out "Where am I now!" hearing that a faint smile
came upon his face. A patsy would be better at getting
rid of those aliens, and with a patsy the beasts would
then hunt him not Genma. Genma could then think up a
plan to regain Ranma back under his control. Maybe
with the masters help. All Genma had to do get his help
is allow him free access to his darling Ranma-chan's
body anytime he wanted. It would also serve as a lesson
to Ranma just what would happen to him for disobeying
his father and betters.

With a "Ranma this is all your fault" from the person in
question. Genma approached the person so he could
begin his plans of revenge.

With breakfast almost finished the phone at the Starliner
residence rang. Noha was brought back to the present
from thinking about the past, quickly answered it. "Hello
this is the Starliner Residence, may I help you?" he said
to the person on the phone.
"Hello" a young woman's voice said this is the principal`s
secretary at Furinken high school, is a Mr. Noha
Starliner Home? I am calling about a Lorena Starliner;
it's about her being enrolled at Furinkan high school.
"She's supposed to be starting today." she said to him,
Noha picked up the nervousness in her voice.

"I am Noha Starliner, Miss and I thought I had made
arrangements that my daughter would be home
schooled I already filled out the paperwork and I have a
tutor set up to come today from the school board." He
told the secretary

"I'm sorry Mr. Starliner but not according to our records
from the school board. Something must have happened
to your daughters school records while they were at the
school board. Ill see what I can do, but Lorena has been
enrolled to Furinkan for the current semester." she
nervously said to Noha. "You can accompany your
daughter to school and then I can see if there anything I
can do or talk to the principal." she added.

"Ok, but Ill have to come about an hour late with my
daughter so I can inform the tutor that is being sent
today. Also mark on Ranma Saotome's school record as
well he's going to be a hour late for school today as well,
he's currently staying here for the time being, so I will be
bringing him with us when we arrive at the school today."

"That will be fine Mr. Starliner I will set up an
appointment for you around that time with the principal."
said the secretary.

"That would be fine, we will be their then.," said Noha to
the secretary hanging up the phone.

The secretary after hanging up the phone turned on the
intercom to Principal Kuno`s office, and informed him of
the conversation with Mr. Starliner

Principal Kuno just smiled at the news. It seemed his
little plan to get a new teacher for the school was
working well. By using that gaijin girl's education as a
bargaining chip he could get Mr. Starliner as the new
teacher. Besides with the Kuno fortune and his family
name what could some gaijin do?

Principal Kuno came up with the plan when he heard
little Tatewaki talking of some white hair goddess that
was destined to be his love just as Akane Tendo and his
pigtailed girl. After Tatewaki asked him if he could find
out what school his white haired girl was going to when
Sazsuki could not find the girl's home. Principal Kuno
found out Tatewaki only saw the girl walking with some
young man when they must have gone out shopping
since Tatewaki keep saying how the low born man was
carrying some shopping bags for his goddess. That
should have been his privilege and needed to teach the
peasant his place.

Then on his trip to the school board he saw the file for a
Lorena Starliner. After seeing the photo of the girl
matching Takky's description he then convinced the
board to have the girl enrolled into the school.

While he was trying to convince the board to transfer the
girl to his school in the Kuno way, Principal Kuno when
so far as to tell them why. What better way to keep an
eye on to strange gaijins than to have the father as a
teacher and the girl as a student at Furinkan high school.
It was then some strange man dressed in black came up
to the head of the school board and said that actually
would be a good idea. "It could actually take care of a
few problems," he said handing a file to the head of the
board. After reading it the head of the board granted
Principal Kuno a sly smile and then made the
arrangements to have Lorena Starliner enrolled into
Furinkan high school. Principal Kuno then asked to see
the file, but the man in the black business suit just told
him that the file was confidential and only the head of the
board was authorized to see it. "Who are you then?"
Principal Kuno asked. Wondering whom this person was
challenging a Kuno. "Just a courier from the UN, From a
little known agency. You have probably never heard of
us". He said to him, handing him a card, then left with
the file.

Looking at the card Principal Kuno just looked at it in
puzzlement. Just what was this M.I.B "The Men in Black"
anyway? It really did not matter anyway. He did not do
anything to try and stop his little plan.

"Oh, by the way, let nothing happen to Lorena Starliner.
It was made quite clear that if anything happened to the
Starliner girl it would be a big embarrassment for Japan.
You can have Mr. Starliner as a teacher through your
little plan but if anything happens to Miss Lorena
Starliner you lose your job at least." the head of the
school board said} to Principal Kuno.

"Who dares challenge the great clan of the Kuno's and
me the Great Kahuna." He became angered that some
peasant dared say something to him.

"Actually that came from the Emperor himself. He stated
and I quote that if any Japanese official was in any way
involved in causing any harm to Lorena Starliner that
official would at least be stripped of their position and
dishonored in his eye's and if it was severe enough then
that persons clan would be also."

Principal Kuno was shocked at this. Just who were these
Starliner's anyway? Maybe it would be best if he kept
Tatewaki away from the girl. No they were Kunos and
they could do anything they wanted. The head of the
board must have lied to him just to scare him. No way
the Emperor would be concerned about some gaijin
peasants. Besides with the Kuno fortune and their
nobility there was nothing that this Noha Starliner could
do against the greatness that was the Kuno clan. It's not
like that these Starliner's could be even richer then the
Kuno's with their long ancestral line.

Ranma was currently being dragged down the hall by
Lorena. Both were still naked and slightly damp from
their bath. Nothing he tried seemed to deter Lorena.
Ranma was finding out the hard way that she was as
strong or stronger then Ryouga. Nothing short of force
would most likely stop her, and Ranma did not want to
use his strength against her like that. The warm waters
of the bath had changed him back his male form. But
when Lorena first tried to drag him out of the bath
Ranma had told her that it was not the custom here for a
guy and a girl to go to breakfast nude. She just looked at
him with a puzzled look and asked why. Ranma really
had no answer for her "it's just the way things are in
Japan," he told her. "Oh, ok that's easily fixed," she said
with a smile and poured some cold water over him
changing Ranma to his female form. Then continued to
drag him to breakfast. It was really embarrassing to be
nude like this with Lorena but she seemed to be totally
innocent to it. Ranma would not even admit it to himself
that he was attracted to Lorena and found himself take
glances at her body.

When they arrived into the dining room Ranma was
again surprised at Noha's reaction to what was going on.
Instead of getting angry or demanding why he was
naked with Lorena, he just tossed both a bathrobe and
told Lorena to put it on for the time being.

"Lorena, you have to remember that humans have a
different sense of modesty. Remember when I told you
humans rarely go without wearing clothing." Noha said
to Lorena. Giving Ranma the impression that this was
not the first time he had this discussion with her.

"But Ranma likes to look at my body daddy, he's been
taking peeks at it will we were bathing and coming down
here." said Lorena. Which almost gave Ranma a heart
attack finding out Lorena knew he was taking peeks at
her nude body.

"No I was not, I'm not some pervert." Ranma spat out
without thinking. Which only got him a confused look
from Lorena, and a slight chuckle from Noha.

"Ranma no one will think you a pervert for taking a look
at Lorena. Actually I would be more worried if you did not
try and take some peeks at Lorena during your time
together." Noha told Ranma.

"What do you mean by that?" asked a confused Ranma

"Nudity is common on New Avatron so we are used to
seeing people like that. Also it's nice to know that you're
a natural redhead in that form.

With a "eep" Ranma quickly put on the bathrobe. Ranma
had forgotten he was currently in his female form and
was nude as well.

Noha only gave a mischievous smile at Ranma's display.
Finishing placing breakfast on the table they all sat to
eat, Although it took a reminder from Lorena's father for
her to put on her bathrobe.

After putting on the robes, they all sat to have breakfast.
It was more westerns than what Ranma was used too
but he ate it with his usual gusto. With Noha and Lorena
eating at a more normal pace.

"Lorena after breakfast could you please get dressed in
a simple outfit, It seems you are going to school with
Ranma today." Noha informed his daughter.

Lorena was confused at what her father just told her
"Why daddy I thought you said I was going to have a
tutor just like back home?"

"So did I, until I got a phone call just this morning
informing me, you had been enrolled at Furinkan for this
semester". Noha told her sensing his daughters
confusion.

"How did that happen daddy, I remember we went to fill
all that paperwork they wanted us to do?" Lorena asked,
remembering the day she had all that testing and filled
out forms with her father few days ago.

"Seems that your file was misplaced while being
processed, and got mixed up with the one for enrolment
into Furinkan." Noha told his daughter, but he personally
had problems with the stated excuse, something was up.
But Noha felt no danger from it, which was why at the
moment he was going along with it.

"But what about the tutor daddy, sheds supposed to be
here soon." she asked.

"I called the school and got permission for both you and
Ranma to be a little late for school so we can let your
tutor know what's going on."

"Ok daddy, Ill go and get dressed so I can go with
Ranma to school." Lorena said happily and ran to her
room after finishing breakfast to get dressed for school.

Ranma watched Lorena leave the room. One thing was
still on his mind and thought this would be a good time to
ask Noha.

"Mr. Starliner what is this bond, or as
you been calling it a pre-bond?" asked
Ranma after finishing his breakfast. Just
call me Noha Ranma, and as to your
question A Bond is how we gain a mate or
as you call it getting marred." Noha told
Ranma a pre-bond is more like a fianc,e
or a very close friend's. Are you telling
me I am already marred to Lorana by
Avatron's customs? Ranma asked


We don't really have a marriage customs;
we just respect people bonds and
recognize them as mates. And A pre-bond
can be anything from the start of
becoming a full bond and we also
considered them as friendship bonds" Noha
informed Ranma


So what you said about being Lorena's
fianc,e was not true Ranma stated getting
a little angry at the thought of being
used again.


No Ranma by earth customs you are
Lorena's fianc,e and if you end up
developing a full bond I will hope you
marry Lorana by Japanese law. Noha said


So if this pre-bond dose not become a
full bond I don't have to marry Lorana?
Ranma asked Noha thinking he might have a
way out of this new mess he was in.


That's right Ranma, but you pre-bond
with Loran is already getting stronger.
And it seems it only a matter of time
before it become a full bond, Don't try
and fight it Ranma you only heart
yourself and Lorana if you try. Just
think you will have some that will always
support you and will accept you for how
you are and not think of you as a prize
to be won. Noha continued "I am back"
Lorana said as she ran into the room.
Driest in jeans and a Wright shirt Ranma
thought she look stunning in her chose of
close, even if they were just normal
clothing. Lorana was wearing. She make
almost anything she wears look good,"
thought Ranma.


"That's not a Furinkan school uniform"
Ranma said then relies he put his foot in
his mouth again. Of course she would not
have a school uniform they where
expecting to have a home tutor coming
today. Lorana would not need one for home
tutoring.


"I think we can get one a school for her
Ranma, But we need to have it tailored
before she can ware it". Noha said to
Ranma.


Just then the doorbell rang "That must
be the tutor I get it" Noha said to Ranma
and Lorana. Walking to the front door of
the house. After a few minutes Noha came
back and informed them that they were
ready to go to Furinkan high school now.
Ranma was thinking just what it would be
like going to school with Lorana would be
like. "This is going to be a interesting
day." fearing the worst Ranma just hope
at least Kuno would not be waiting at the
front gate as he usually did since they
were arriving late today but had a bad
feeling about what might transpire during
Lorena's first day at Furinkan high
school was going to be like. School was
going to be more then boring today.
Thought Ranma as the three of them walked
out the door on the way too school.
