Woohoo! I got 2 days off from the mental hospital and so I had time to
write something :)
Unfortuneately, due to my lack of inspiration, I was not able to come up
with a new idea.  So I decided to rewrite "Weight of Honor" in a
differently and try to fix problems in the first story and give it a
different emphasis.  It also gives me ideas spinoffs for the story.  So
if you read "Weight of Honor," this will seem familiar.  But I'd still
like C+C so I can get ideas on how to continue this story.

(Based on "Weight of Honor")

"I don't know how everything ended the way it did, but I'm sure happy
things turned out this way."  Ranma sat at a booth letting his mind
wander after a long day of work, staring at his wife, wondering how she
had so much energy, working day in, day out and always having a smile on
her face.  For Ranma, training students in kempo by day and working at
the restaurant at night was tiring, but he couldn't imagine any other
way he could be happier.  This was a compromise between him and his
beloved when they got married:  he wished to teach students what he knew
best, martial arts while it was cooking okinomiaki besides Ranma that
made Ukyou happy.  And so they decided to make Okinomiaki Ucchan a
dinner only restaurant so they could train students together in the new
dojo they built with the money they made off the restaurant.

It was not like before with all his fianc�es chasing him all over
Nerima, but it didn't mean things weren't interesting. He still had the
curse he still possessed and his best friend, Ryouga, who he still had
fights with every so often.  The others were still around too, Akane had
eventually married Ryouga and lived at the Tendo dojo while Kuno was
still trying to get Nabiki to marry him.  Kodachi still as insane as she
ever was still after Ranma, never giving up the idea that there could be
an annulment to Ranma's marriage.  Shampoo, Mousse and Cologne decided
to stay in Japan afterall the dust cleared since Shampoo couldn't return
unmarried to Ranma and unable to kill him.  They had grown to like it
here in Nerima, afterall, they had a booming busineess like theirs,
there wasn't any need to return where they would be in disgrace.

"But I still don't know how this all came to be, afterall, it was almost
certain I was to marry Akane.  All I know is that it all started..."
Ranma thinks back to his high school days...

One spring day when Furinkan High just let out for the afternoon, Ukyou
was rushing home to start another long day at the Ucchan when all of a
sudden she gets hit by a bike at high speed.  Luckily for her it was not
straight on and she wasn't hurt very badly.  After She had realized what
happened, she got up and brushed herself off.  When she looked up to
tell whoever it was to watch where they were going, she sighed knowing
it had to be her.  "Shampoo, why is it that you keep trying to piss me
off?"  This time Ukyou was furious, the day before, Shampoo had seen
Ranma in her restaurant and managed to damage half the dining room in
the attempt to get Ranma out.

"Not Shampoo fault if crossdresser can't get out of way."

"How dare you!" forgetting she needed to get the restaurant open, she
was not going to let that one by.  She may have worn men's clothing, but
it was her honor that forced her to wear them.  After Ranma had left the
first time, she couldn't let herself be hurt like that again.  To dress
as a man was the best way to keep it from happening.  But if she could
only get Ranma to marry her, she could finally start being a woman
again.  She hated it and she hated it more when people used it to insult
her.  "Just because I have to wear this gives you no right to be
insulting me."

"Ranma!"  Ranma, running with Akane close on his heels was coming at the
two arguing, unaware that they were there.  He was too occupied with
insulting Akane and keeping away from her hammer at the same time.
These actions were stopped suddenly by arms belonging to a blue haired
girl and a soon a mallet to the head.

"What are you doing to my fianc�?" Ukyou was quite angry at this point.
Pulling her off a confused Ranma.

Akane was not pleased either.  "What makes you think you can get away
with shooting spit wads at me in class and do you think you are doing
hanging all over Shampoo?"  Ranma started to protest, and gain his
composure at the same time, but Akane starts to walk off.  "I'm going
home Ranma, it looks like you have plenty of others to help you recover,
but DON'T think you're going to get away with this."  Ranma continued to
mutter protests, not wanting to be in the middle of this fight, but was
forced to mediate the argument between Ukyou and Shampoo when they
started swinging things at each other.

"Now hold on, what is going on?"  The two stop to hear what their fianc�
had to say, but they started to argue again when he finished.

"This hussie here hits me with her bike and then proceeds to insult me."

"Maybe Ranma no like girl that act like boy, leave Ranma alone and
Shampoo leave Ukyou alone."

"How...How dare you.  Its not like its my fault..."

"Why do you wear guy's clothes anyways Ukyou?"  After saying it, he
realized right away that it wasn't the right thing to ask.

Ukyou was red.  She had just been insulted by Shampoo and being insulted
again by another person at this time was too much.  The fact that he was
Ranma saved him from needing a grave.  "What?!? You don't know!?!  It
because of you!  You dishonored me by not marrying me and now I have to
wear these things."  Ukyou regains her composure, but again loses it
when she realized that half of the Furinkan student body was looking on
and listening.  "Ohhhh look what you've done, you've embarassed me you
insensitive jerk!"  Before he knew what was going on, he was slapped
accross the face.  Not knowing what to do next, Ukyou runs off toward
the restaurant.

Ranma was in shock.  Ukyou rarely shouted at him, let alone hit him.  He
became lost in thought about the fact that she would actually hit him.
He was then disturbed by Shampoo again wrapping her arms around him.
"Now both violent girls gone.  We all alone now."

"Go home Shampoo"  Ranma pushes her off and starts heading home.  This
was not a good day for him and he was no longer in any mood to be
running around Nerima.  He leaves Shampoo behind while thinking about
what had happened.
