Ok, here's a more grammatically correct story.  Thanks to all who
pointed out the errors, it saved me a lot of time looking.  Only I don't
think Sean liked me using my Northwestern dialect in my writing instead
of proper English :)  Oh well, I guess its better that people can read
it :)

As for my other story, I'm not going to waste my time fixing it.  It was
just me griping about my job, thinly disguised as a fanfic.  After
spilling hot, pureed spinich on my pants while watching to loonies fight
over each other's food, I don't want to write about work right now...

Anyways, here is the first part of my redo of "Weight of Honor" with
many changes.

(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.  He was  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 okonomiaki, besides
Ranma, that made Ukyou happy.  And so they decided to make Okonomiaki
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.
Well maybe this wasn't a compromise.  Ranma ate enough food to feed a
company of soldiers while Ukyou enjoyed assisting Ranma in his teaching
because it gave her the time to work on her martial arts skills.

It was not like before with all his fiancees chasing him all over
Nerima, but it didn't mean things weren't interesting. He still had the
curse, his best friend, Ryouga, whom 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.  Kuno was still trying to get Nabiki
to marry him while still looking for the little red-headed girl.
Kodachi still as insane as 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.
Shampoo couldn't return unmarried to Ranma, bus she couldn't bring
herself to kill him either.  They had grown to like it here in Nerima,
after all, they had a booming business, 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, after all, 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 Ukyou 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 dressing like a guy 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, 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 fiance?" Ukyou was quite angry with the way
Shampoo treated Ranma as her personal toy.  Ranma didn't belong to
either of them.  She couldn't understand why the blue haired girl didn't
get the hint when both Ukyou and Ranma pryed her off.

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 regain 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 fiance
had to say, but they started to argue again when he finished.

"First, this hussie here hit me with her bike and then starts insulting
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!?!  Its
because of you!  You dishonored me by not marrying me and now I have to
wear these things."  Ukyou regained her composure just after the
outburst  However, she 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 pushed 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.
