Dinner was served. Akane was put between Ranma and his father. Both Ranma and Genma were not allowed to eat at their usual speeds, but were allowed to eat their full. After dinner Ranma was asked to help with the dishes.

Up to his elbows in the warm suds, Ranma was under the Eye of the eldest sister. "Ranma, I have a few Questions. What is the longest time you, and not including your father, have spent anywhere?"

"About two weeks at most Dojos, Three weeks if the Dojo/ shrine had a good spread. I think I was at one place for about three monthes after I learned This One form...the Neko-Ken." Ranma looked over his sholder at the older of the three Girls. "why do you ask?"

"Things are going to be different here. For you to finish your training under this roof, You will be here for a minium of three years." Kasumi took a deep breath, crossed her arms, and glared at Ranma. "During that time, I will be your Master, your Sensai, and your 'Father' will be nothing more then a practice Dummy." the way she spoke of Genma sent a shiver up Ranma's spine. Her use of 'father' was as if the word left the taste of sewage in her mouth.

"I require that you teach Akane in the basics of our Art. It will help you in learning how to teach other students. Our 'Fathers' have in mind for you to marry one of my sisters or myself." Here, 'Fathers' was more of a dead rat. "I persosnally have a match for me in mind, and soon I am going to have to move on Him." Her eyes glazed over...

Ranma finished the dishes and dried his hands. Looking over at Kasumi(was she drooling?), "Now if you can show me where everything goes..."

The Sound of his voice snapped her out of her flash back. As they placed the dishes into the cupboards, Kasumi resummed instrucing Ranma. "When you have finished High School You will have to select which girl you are going to take as your wife. And I worn you, thanks to your 'Father', the odds are there is going to be more then just my sisters that you will be honor bound to marry."

Ranam glared at her,

"Give me a month, And then see if I am wrong. If I am Correct, you are my student, and you set your father aside as your teacher. Deal?"

Ranma glared at her, "Okay, but only if you are correct about Pops."

"And untill We know the truth? Are you man enough to learn the Art of Keeping House and Being a Woman? Or are there some skills that are just beyond your reach. " She knew his weakness, she played the cards...

Ranma just glared at her. "Define Being a Woman."

Kasumi smirked. She had him on the ropes. "Dressing the part. Acting the manners, protocals, and language. I am not asking that you wear pink, but there is red, blue, green and black. I am not asking that you like boys, but you will be polite. I will be teaching you to use your looks as a weapon, how to dress and wear makup to hide and or show off certian aspects of your female body. I will also teach you to hunt for your mate, bait them, and when the time comes, how to please them."

"Why will I have to hunt for a mate? If those old fools are set on me marring one of your Sisters, Why would I need to hunt?"

"So that you know that you are the hunter, not the hunted!"
