Part 2. Engagement!?

Ranma looked up at the building in front of him. The sign read [Tendo Dojo.] Near it there hung another sign stating [To defeat the owner in savage combat please use rear door.] Ranma looked at his pop, who was currently a panda “I don’t see why we had to come all the way here just to fight another stupid dojo. You’re really beginning to bore me with your idea of training old man.”

“Yes Mr. Saotome there seems to be nothing special about this dojo. Besides we have already told you that we wouldn’t defeat dojos so you can charge them to keep their sign anymore.” Said the girl next to him to the soggy panda who was standing on his other side.

The panda held up a sign [Both of you be quite!] then he flipped the sign to reveal a new message [We’re not here to challenge them. Tendo is an old friend.] He flipped the sign back to the first side which now held a new message [Get moving boy! They’re waiting.] Then the panda moved behind his two students and pushed them towards the door. When he got them there he rang the bell and stood behind Ranma, blocking his only route of escape.

Inside the house Soun Tendo practically jumped over the table to go welcome his old friend, and to get away from his daughters who were taking the news of their engagement quite badly. Why should they be mad that he had engaged one of them to a boy they had never even met? He had only done it to secure the future of the Anything Goes School. Couldn’t they appreciate that?

He opened the door and stopped, losing the smile which had just plastered itself on his face at the sound of the doorbell. “Hi I’m Ranma Saotome and…” Ranma was surprised as he was suddenly cut off when the owner of the house suddenly grabbed him in a bear hug. Behind him his daughter was giving him an appraising eye. He was cute, she would give him that, but he was probably the average stupid jock. Still there was possibility here. Still back at the table were Akane and Kasumi who hadn’t sprinted to the door.

Soun ushered the boy to the table, forgetting his companions. “WAAHH! I’m so happy. Now the future of the Anything Goes School will be guaranteed! WAAHH!” He then proceeded to usher his soon-to-be son-in-law down the hall still crushed against him in one arm. Then he placed him down at the table and made sure his daughters were all gathered. His other guests were forgotten by himself and Nabiki due to his rushing.

After Mr. Tendo had placed his daughters and Ranma at the appropriate places around the table and making sure he took off his pack so he was comfortable he turned to the completely confused boy. “Well Ranma my boy these are my daughters, Kasumi age 19, Nabiki age 17, and Akane age 16. Pick the one you want to be your fiancée.” He gestured to each girl in turn, from the kind looking one to the somewhat interested one to the one who was making a point of not looking at him except the occasional evil glare.

“BE MY FIANCEE! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!” yelled Ranma who had panicked and jumped back from the table but was knocked out by a hit on the head with a sign by Genma who had been waiting for him to try something like running.

Soun turned to the panda who had just clobbered his son-in-law. He was quite surprised when the panda pulled up the sign he had just attacked with to show what it said. [Soun my friend. It’s me, Genma!] Then he flipped it to show another message [Get me some hot water and we can talk.] Soun was a little startled to see the panda communicating with signs and new it couldn’t be his old friend but Kasumi had already gone to get hot water for their guest anyway.

Across the table Akane finally became aware of May who had simply been watching what happened in a confused state but was now checking Ranma to make sure he was ok. “You practice martial arts right?” asked Akane.

“Yes I practice Anything Goes martial arts” said May looking up from Ranma who was perfectly fine; he had just been caught off guard by the blow.

“Well then why don’t you forget about him and we go spar?” hoping to get her mind off the weakling who her father wanted to engage her to. The pervert couldn’t even take a weak hit to the head like that. She smiled a little at that, she would be sure his head met her fist if he tried anything funny with her.

“OK, it would be nice to get to fight somebody new for a change.” May agreed and was led out to the dojo by Akane. So far in her new body she had only fought Ranma seriously, maybe she would hold up to a real fight though. Nobody else in the house was paying enough attention to ether of them to notice due to their other guests.

Kasumi returned shortly and gave the panda a kettle of hot water which he upended onto himself. Everyone there, save the unconscious Ranma, gasped as the panda transformed into the bald old martial artist. “Genma! So it is you!” said a surprised Soun happily “but since when have you been a panda?”

“It’s a long story my friend. You see not long ago the boy, the girl, and I went to train at Jusenkyo. While we were…”

“Who is the girl you mentioned?”

“Oh, I mean May, my other student. She was here a moment ago. Where has that foolish girl have gone to now?”

As if in response to Genma's question there was a loud crash from the dojo and a loud scream of pain. Everyone but Ranma hurried out of the room to see what was going on. In the dojo they found May kneeling next to and apologizing profusely to Akane who was lying out cold in a pile of rubble that had once been the dojo’s far wall.

Soun burst into tears at the sight of his hurt daughter and rushed to pick her up. He held her in his arms and started towards the house with her. He looked at May with fire in his eyes. “WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY AKANE!” he yelled while manifesting a demon head, which only succeeded in scaring May witless.

At hearing Mays squeals of fear Ranma immediately roused himself. Seeing that he was awake May ran to him for help. “WAAHH! Master Ranma tell them I didn’t mean it! She said she could take whatever I could dish out! Tell them I didn’t try to hurt her! WAAHH!”

It only took Ranma a second to understand what she meant; she didn’t know how to pull her punches well yet and must have fought with someone else. Ranma turned to Mr. Tendo and was a bit taken aback when he saw his demon head attack but because it wasn’t directed at him he shrugged it off easily. “Mister Tendo please calm down, she didn’t try to hurt anybody. She doesn’t know how to pull her punches very well yet. Please just calm down I’m sure your daughter will be fine.” Quietly he asked May “Did you break anything?” she shook her head frantically in response. Speaking loudly again he said “I’m sure that she will just be sore for awhile.”

Soun’s demon head attack deflated due to Ranma’s urging that everything was fine, leaving him to simply cry over his hurt daughter who he had laid on their couch, thoroughly drench her gi. Genma cleared his throat and whispered something in Soun’s ear. Soun stifled his crying and cleared his throat, while Genma slipped behind Ranma again. He would be able to stop his tears for now; this was for the sale of their schools after all. Soun turned to Ranma “Well son with Akane injured it seems you have to choose between Kasumi and Nabiki.”

“I don’t like younger men father.” said Kasumi very seriously and in a way she hoped wouldn’t offend the boy.

“I think he would be much better with Akane daddy, this is to continue the dojo after all.” stated Nabiki, she didn’t mind Ranma yet so much as she was hoping for a husband with a much higher salary and, judging by the fact he was a traveling martial artist, a higher IQ.

At hearing Nabiki’s comment Soun started bawling again “WAAHH! MY POOR DIEING BABY GIRL!”

“Very well it’s settled then! Ranma your new fiancée is Nabiki!” said Genma while grabbing his shoulders from behind to both congratulate him and hold him there.

“WHAT! I don’t want a fiancée! Don’t you have anything to say to all of this?” Ranma demanded of Nabiki.

Nabiki was taking it like the ice-queen she was known to be, no angry outbursts or any show of surprise. She already knew Ranma would be happy to help her break it off later, he didn’t even want to be engaged, and until then she had a boy to con sweets and flowers from. Besides at the very least this was a possible necessity, with her current popularity and far reaching notoriety arranged marriage looked like her only option; knowing her father all other possible marriage arrangements would be martial artists anyway, at least this one was cute and she would get the dojo. If he was any good at teaching it could provide decent profit. If she decided to keep him that is.

“Yeah. You should really just relax for now, daddy wouldn’t hear you if you screamed in his face at the moment. Why don’t you just give it awhile and if it’s so horrible than we’ll at least have a reason for them to listen to us. There not going to stop just because you don’t want to. Daddy says they planed this a long time ago as a thing of honor.”

Ranma wanted to argue but could find any holes in her reasoning. It wasn’t fair but he knew his dad wasn’t going to let him get out of this very easy. The best he could do was go along with it like she said. “Ok then well see how it goes. But I don’t want no pressure to hurry up and get married got it, this isn’t final!” Genma of course ignored him having zoned out after ok, he was currently imagining his life in the lap of luxury courtesy of his son.

“Now why don’t we calm down my daddy then you can continue telling us how you got that curse Mr. Saotome” suggested Nabiki. It took them nearly a half-hour to convince Soun that Akane was ok and make him stop his wailing, well stop him from crying hard enough to be in danger of dehydration anyway. Then Genma told them of how he became cursed, or at least a somewhat edited tale.

“You see I took May and Ranma to the springs of Jusenkyo, the legendary training ground. During a brisk sparring match May and myself were knocked into the cursed pools. When I’m splashed with cold water I become a panda and hot water returns me. May however fell into a spring which cursed her to become a small robotic version of herself when splashed with hot water but returns with cold water.” He said, trying to make the story seem at least a small bit believable; so far everyone who had seen May change had insisted she had to have been human in the first place, besides it would save face to say he had taught the girl to be a strong martial artist instead of saying he taught a doll to be able to beat him up.

“What are you talking about pops May was a robot in the first place.”

“Is there something wrong with your boy Saotome?” asked Soun who was much more inclined to believe his old comrade than his son.

“Ah…yes…um” Genma fidgeted for a moment as he tried to think of an excuse. “Well you see that is the true horror of her curse; hers changed her mentally and made her believe that she had been a robot cursed to be human and since Ranma was the first person she saw it affected him making him think that she was his toy robot originally as well. I am truly lucky that mine only changed my body.”

“The legendary training ground of accused springs, its true horror had been shrouded in mystery until now! Truly the path of a true martial artist is fraught with peril.” Soun said while tears dripped down his cheeks.

Slightly worried Nabiki asked the most important question that came to mind while hearing the story. “You didn’t fall into any of the pools did you Ranma?” she shivered as she thought she might be engaged to a person who was cursed to become some creature or *shudder* another girl.

“Ha, like the fat old panda could ever knock me into one of them. It took him five minutes to even hit May once; he wouldn’t have a chance against me.” Ranma boasted, he always loved rubbing the fact May can lead him in circles even in her natural form.

Nabiki couldn’t help but let off a little sigh of relief. As Genma protested “Show your sensei respect boy, I taught you everything you know. You could never hope to be better than me, I still have more skill in the art, you simply have my training to thank for your abilities.”

“Well we’ll never know if you’re better then pops, seeing as how you were too much of a coward to train with us. Besides I learned a lot of what I know from fighting other people.”

“Damn you boy you will learn some respect!” Genma was about to leap at his ungrateful son when he found himself held seated by May.

“Ranma! Mr. Saotome! We are guests here. If you want to fight go outside.” May scolded sternly, receiving a grumble from Genma and an embarrassed look from Ranma.

“Sorry May I forgot. Let’s go old man.” Ranma stood up and walked out to the backyard. Then May allowed Genma up and he followed his son. They were soon followed by Soun and Nabiki while Kasumi went off to start a bath for May, after sparring with Akane she would probably want one, besides she would rather not watch their silly little fight. Ranma took up a stance on the left side of the koi pond in the yard while Genma was on the opposite side. Both leapt at the same time and flew at each other in the air.

It was pathetically easy for Ranma to drop his father, Genma had leapt forward with his leg outstretched to hit him in the gut, Ranma simply grabbed the leg in one hand and delivered a quick and powerful rap with his heel on Genma’s head that sent him into the pond. Ranma landed on the right side and chided his father. “That was too easy old man; you really need to have a reason to brag ya know.”

Nabiki was shocked. She would have bet her entire life savings a moment ago people couldn’t jump like that. If she was taking over the dojo and Ranma could train people to do that she would be rich! She would definitely have to find out what he was capable of later. Soun wasn’t surprised in the least and simply watched the battle while crying slightly in joy. She would have to ask her father just what his limits were too.

Behind Ranma the water exploded upwards as a panda hopped out directly towards his back. Ranma tuned and grabbed the outstretched paw of the panda then spun and released it, in effect hurtling Genma across the yard. Genma hit the ground and rolled a little until he hit the wall that surrounded the yard. “You need to know when to give up pops. That hasn’t worked yet why would it now?”

The panda got back up and shook its head to clear it. [This isn’t over by a long shot boy.] The panda signed. Then he charged at the boy swinging with the sign which strangely changed messages as he swung it. [You’re an ungrateful disgrace][I am still your sensei and father][Show respect to your betters][Look someone’s attacking May]. Ranma turned after reading the last one to check on May and found nothing. Genma’s sign crashed down on his head and the handle snapped.

Ranma turned back to his father with an angry gleam in his eye. Genma, noticing how ineffective his attack was, pulled out a new sign and a beach ball [I’m just a cute little panda].

“Damn it old man I told you that’s not funny!” Ranma yelled angrily.

The panda held up a new sign in front of the other one. [It wasn’t me,][I’m just a cute little panda.]

Ranma kicked the ball making it and the panda holding it roll backwards. Ranma walked back to the others angry at his father’s inability to know what’s going too far to win. What if May was really in trouble and he just thought it was a trick? His thoughts were interrupted though by another bear hug by Soun. “With your skills the future of our school will be guaranteed! WAAHH!”

“Father I think he needs to breathe.” Stated Kasumi simply as she retuned from preparing the bath for May and seeing that Ranma was turning an interesting shade of purple. “May the bath is ready for you; you must be sweaty from your sparring.”

“Thank you, that was very nice of you.” May politely thanked their hostess. It was so nice of Kasumi to think of her. She could use a hot bath to she had been on the road without one for far too long. “Ranma, where did you put the pack?”

“Its still at the table May. That reminds me, if pops is making us stay here where are we going to stay?” Ranma asked Mr. Tendo.

“That’s no problem this is your home now, there is a room you and your father can share and I’m sure one of the girls wouldn’t mind sharing their room with May.” Answered the elder Tendo, who was still crying a little, a little for him that is, due to his joy.

Kasumi, always one to care for their guests and her sisters, offered her own room for use, after all Nabiki had just received a new fiancée and she didn’t want to give her any more to adjust to and Akane wasn’t feeling well so she was the only one left to offer. “She can stay in my room father. If both of you will follow me I’ll show you where your rooms and the bathroom are.”

-----

“Ooohhh” groaned Akane as she opened her eyes to find herself on the couch. What happened? Memories of the day flowed back into her mind. Remembering what happened she began to worry about how long she had been out for. What if that boy had already picked her while she was asleep and she hadn’t had a chance to argue about it. She really needed to talk to daddy about this. Then after she had ended this foolish business maybe she could train with May again, next time she wouldn’t be caught by surprised like that. Noticing Kasumi nearby she decided to question her “Kasumi that boy didn’t already choose a fiancée did he?”

“Yes daddy made him choose right after bringing you in from the dojo.” Kasumi said happily while she continued dusting.

Akane, immediately expecting that she had been chosen, she was the most popular after all, immediately got a sinking feeling in her stomach. “Where is daddy, I can’t let this happen.”

“He went out with Mr. Saotome to celebrate the future of the dojo. They said they won’t be back until late tonight.” Kasumi said as she continued dusting “you know you should really go take a bath Akane, you’re covered in dust. May just started taking one but I’m sure she won’t mind company.” She sounded a bit worried that Akane was getting dust all over the clean room; there would probably be debris from the demolished wall in the couch now too.

Akane looked down at herself and saw the dust and bits of wall on her gi. “Sure Kasumi, I guess I could use a bath. But tell me as soon as daddy gets home, ok?” She stood up and headed towards the bathroom. Maybe I could ask May if she wants to spar again while we bathe. She probably has some interesting techniques too. Akane walked into the changing room and started to disrobe maybe May had some good techniques I could use on the mob at school. She slid the door open and started in I bet she must know…

What had caused the one-track freight train that is Akane’s mind to suddenly derail was the sight that awaited her in the bathroom. Ranma and May, both naked, were about to get in the tub together, naked! It of course didn’t take her long to come to the most logical, and her favorite, conclusion. ALL boys are PERVERTS! Which she quickly gave voice to “YOU PERVERT!” Akane yelled as she jumped at him suddenly wielding a mallet which hadn’t been there a moment before.

Ranma simply stood like a dear caught in the headlights of a speeding semi as Akane flew over the bath towards him. May was luckily able to notice Ranma’s shock in time to move to intercept the attack before he was hit. Catching the top of the handle and holding it tightly she halted its motion an inch before it imprinted itself on Ranma’s head.

Akane was jolted to a stop as the mallet which was being driven with all her strength came to the unexpected halt. She was caught off guard as gravity suddenly reasserted itself and she lost her grip on her weapon and fell into the bath below her. She came up sputtering and turned to May, who was still holding the mallet where she had caught it. “Why are you protecting that PERVERT?!”

Ranma was roused from his momentary shock at finding the mallet hovering in place before him by the insult. As May brought the hammer down from his face he responded. “Who are you calling a pervert?! You’re the one who came in here without any warning!”

“That doesn’t mean anything! It’s alright when a girl sees a guy naked!” upon saying this she realized she was looking right at him and quickly cast her gaze away, downward specifically, after which she realized she was naked at the moment. Quickly covering herself and sinking down in the water she checked and found Ranma looking right at her. “YOU PERVERT! QUIT STARING AT ME! GET OUT!”

Ranma was confused but seeing Akane’s obvious ire he decided it best to do as she asked for the moment. May followed Ranma now that their chance to bathe was gone, she was a bit unhappy about how unkindly Ranma was being treated, she couldn’t see anything wrong with anything he had done since they had arrived other than arguing with his father, certainly that didn’t warrant an attack on him. Akane watched them leave and almost went to try pounding him for being a pervert again but her current lack of clothing was enough to hold her back.

As soon as they entered the changing room and closed the door to the bathroom, the door to the hall opened up. Kasumi and Nabiki had both heard Akane’s war cry and had gone to investigate and had just opened the door to the changing room. “Oh my!” Kasumi said as the naked pair were revealed. Nabiki upon seeing May was armed with a mallet quickly shut the door to avoid the watching the carnage she thought would follow, of course she also checked her fiancée’s…assets before the door had closed.

After a moment of nervousness at the violence that was about to happen, and another good reason, Nabiki was dumbstruck when the door opened and both May and Ranma, fully clothed and fully conscious, both exited the changing room. May had left the mallet behind next to a neat pile of clothes that were Akane’s. Nabiki, true to her form, quickly recovered and hid her surprise. “Care to explain?”

Ranma and May both looked at her in surprise; they had been too focused on wondering what Akane’s problem was to have noticed the other sisters. “Huh?” Ranma asked intelligently. “Oh, your sister just walked in on our bath, called us perverts, attacked, and told us to get out. Any idea what she’s so mad about?”

“And you were bathing together WHY?!” Demanded Nabiki.

That seemed like a stupid question to Ranma. "The tub is a deep pit of hot water with slick sides and I already told ya that this is May's cursed form. If she got in there alone she'd be stuck. She might be water proof but she can still overheat."

"We still haven't seen this 'uncursed form' yet, perhaps you would like to show it to us." Nabiki suggested, she didn't see how he would have something like that in the first place, Cyberdolls are _NOT_ in the price range of traveling martial artists, most people didn’t even know about them, and the smaller they are the more expensive they tended to be.

"I wouldn't mind." May said. "I will need some hot water tough."

"Let me get some for you." offered Kasumi before tuning towards the kitchen.

"Thank you," May called after her. As she continued down the hall Kasumi smiled brighter than usual, their guests were so polite, it had been ages since someone had thanked her for anything.

-----

In the bathroom a red-faced and thoroughly flustered Akane stayed in the bath until she was sure Ranma was gone. She still hadn’t heard the second door close so she wasn’t getting out. No way was she letting him get another free show. She was getting more than a little impatient to pound Ranma though.

-----

It only took Kasumi a few seconds to retrieve some hot water; she had been preparing tea for her guests. "Here you are."

"Thanks" Ranma said as he took the kettle of hot water she offered him and poured it on May. A small cloud of steam appeared, accompanied by a small yelp of pain, and when it dissipated there was just a pile of clothes with a moving lump in them.

May crawled out of the neck of her shirt. "Ranma! It doesn’t need to be that hot!"

"Sorry May! I forgot." It was an easy enough thing to forget about, after all it wasn't like he had to use hot water on her often and he always liked the fact it burned his pop when he did that. He put his hand out so she would have a place to stand where their hosts could see her and she quickly jumped onto it. "This is May's normal form." Ranma stated as he held her up so Nabiki could see.

Nabiki looked over the miniature May for a moment and had to admit to herself that the only thing she could be was a cyberdoll, other than the cord she looked just like a cyberdoll. "So what's with the cord?"

"My powersupply was broken so Ranma's cousin repaired me." The tiny robotic girl responded.

Nabiki made a mental note about finding out more about this cousin later, repairing a Robot as complex as May would have been difficult to say the least. If he was good enough to fix a CBD as little as May he could be a useful person to have owe her a favor. For now though she was more interested in finding out about May and how Ranma came to get her; no way was she going to believe Genma over Ranma, she knew people and Genma looked like he would lie about anything while Ranma would have trouble lying about what his favorite color was. Besides you can’t drown a cyberdoll. "So what type of cyberdoll are you May?"

"I am CBD May 1/6th scale maid model robot. I may be small but I have high capabilities."

"Oh? Such as what?" Kasumi asked interestedly. Nabiki already knew the basic uses of cyberdolls and the general pros and cons of smaller models. The maid types like May were generally day planners, secretaries, or traveling companions due to their inability to actually clean well but were not very popular due to the creation of a secretary model that did a better job of the first two chores.

May bent her legs and leapt backwards flipping several times and allowing her cord to fly out behind her. She added several fast kicks, punches, and a spin for effect and landed on Ranma's head with a level of jiggling that Nabiki was surprised hadn't caused a nosebleed from Ranma, she was naked and very realistic after all. "Like learning martial arts."

"Oh-my. That was very nice May. Though it really would be best if you put on something." complimented Kasumi, concerned for May’s lack of modesty.

“Huh?” asked May in confusion.

“You’re naked.” Nabiki stated in a droll manner.

“Oops.” Ranma said and grabbed an extra set of clothes for May out of his pocket and handed it to May; he kept it there for just such an occasion. “Sorry May, I forgot about that.” Before Ranma was done apologizing May was already dressed, super speed is useful even when not fighting.

“That’s alright.” May reassured Ranma and patted him on the head.

Nabiki sighed, cyberdolls generally weren’t programmed for modesty, in fact one of the more popular choices of programming was very adult in nature. She couldn’t help but be revolted that that was probably why Ranma had gotten a maid type, unlike her younger sister though she could at least understand it; boys would be boys, not that that made it any less wrong. “And why exactly did you choose a maid type?”

“Choose? I didn’t choose anything. Someone just gave me May while I was staying at my cousins.” Ranma answered in confusion

“Someone just gave you a cyberdoll?” Nabiki asked in disbelief. Nobody gave away something like that unless you were someone important…or related to someone important. “You said your cousin fixed May? Did he work at Cyber dine?”

Ranma thought about it, it made since but he wasn’t sure. “I don’t know. He was working with robotics and AI but I was really little so I didn’t think about asking.”

Nabiki was becoming increasingly interested, seems like she managed to get engaged to someone who was somehow connected with the most advanced robotics company around. “And how old were you?”

“I dunno, seven or eight probably. Why?”

He’d had May for eight or nine years. That got Nabiki’s mind racing about the possibilities. Cyber dine had been selling CBDs for about six years so Ranma must have been related to one of the founders and May must have been one of their old prototypes that they hadn’t needed anymore. If she was right Ranma was related to one of the higher ups in the company. She could practically feel her business connections forming already. Oh that’s right Ranma had asked her a question. “Oh no reason. It’s just good to know more about my fiancée.”

Ranma froze up a little “Well, erm, if you say so.” his statement was followed by a moments silence as Nabiki went over ways to subtly suggest that she meet with his cousin and Kasumi and May simply couldn’t think of something good to add to the conversation. “So, um do you study martial arts?” Ranma decided to follow Nabiki’s example and find out a bit more about his temporary fiancée. The arrangement was stupid but he could at least try a bit for the sake of honor.

“Huh?” Nabiki was shaken out of her plotting to find a question directed towards her but recover quickly enough. “A little, I mostly just try to keep in shape. Akane and daddy are the real martial artists in the family.”

“Oh, mind a little sparring to see what you can do?”

Nabiki figured it would be a good idea, it might make him feel more at ease around her and it would give her an excuse to see what else he was capable of. “Sure, but I haven’t sparred in ages.”

Kasumi saw it was the end of the conversation and decided to get back to work. “Well then it looks like I’d better get back to cleaning.”

“I’ll help.” May said from atop Ranma’s head.

“Oh there’s no need to go to the trouble May.” Kasumi reassured her guest.

May leapt onto Kasumi’s shoulder so she would be easier to hear. “It’s no trouble at all. I’d be glad to help.”

“Oh, well thank you May.” Kasumi gave the doll a bright smile as she turned to head downstairs behind Ranma and Nabiki.

In the bathroom Akane growled slightly to herself. When someone finally closed the bathroom door Ranma would pay.
