Part 1




"Urgh......"

"Oh look, look!  He's waking up!"
"Really, Ryoko-san!  Keep it down.  He is a patient!"
"Wow!  Look, Kiyone!  he really looks like Tenchi-san!"
"Really?  I don't see much resemblance."
"Please, Washu!  Don't do any more experiments on him, please?"
"But Sasami-chan!  It's my duty as a scientist!  Give me just a week, no a day, no an hour!  That's all I ask!  You understand me, don't you Tendo-san?"
"Um... just Akane will be fine... well...  Eh?  What is this animal?"
"Myah myah!"

Ranma shook his head slightly, trying to clear his head.  He was still too groggy to think.  'Argh.  What happened?  The last thing I remember is a girl putting me through some kind of torture(1).  I don't hear Tenchi's voice here.  I am sure because all the voices I heard so far were all girl's.  I don't recognize the first four though.  Then there was Sasami, that weird psycho girl with pink hair, another psycho girl who happened to be my fiance, and the myahing... wait, myah?  What is that?  Oh, there is a cat.  How nice.  Tenchi has a cat... A CAT?!?!?!?!'

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

In a blink of an eye, Ranma jumped up and was clinging to the ceiling.  His eyes were watering and frantic as he desparately searched for the cat that he had just heard.  Much to his surprise and relief, all he could find was seven girls plugging their ears in pain, and an animal that looked like... a rabbit?  'No, that's not a rabbit.  Me and pop used to hunt some rabbits for dinner so I know.  That ain't a rabbit.  It looks somewhat similar to some other animal...  Almost like a...'

"Myah?"

"Aaaaaaahh!!!  A cat!!!  A cat!!  Get it away!!  Get it away!!"

"What cat?  We don't have a freaking cat here!!"
"Please, Saotome-san!  Keep it down.  You are a patient!"
"Aaaack!!  Kiyone!!  My ears hurt!!"
"So are mine, and you are hurting it even more!!!"
"Ranma-niichan!  What's wrong?"
"Is anything wrong with you?  Do you want me to examine you?  My lab is only steps away!"
"Cut it out, Washu-san!  Ranma, calm down!  There is no cat here!"

The ruckus was so loud since both Ranma and the girls yelled their lungs out.  Confused Ryo-ohki tried to calm everyone down.  "Myah myah!"

Of course, that added more fear on poor Ranma, who screamed louder in terrorized voice.  In turn, the girls yelled out louder and so did Ryo-ohki. The cycle went on and on, making the already chaotic living room even more chaotic.

At that moment, Tenchi who had just woken up from upstair by all the noise, came down with a confused look on his face.  "What is going on?"

His voice wasn't all that loud, but it surprisingly got everyone's attention.  The silence lasted in the room for about a second, in which nobody made any move.  Then it ended as the small spaceship animal ran to its favorite boy.

"Myah myah!"  Excited Ryo-ohki ran to the boy, and jumped into his arms.

"Aaaaaaaack!!  I was right!!  It's a cat!!"  Ranma cringed and screamed again when he heard Ryo-ohki.  The ceiling was beginning to show some cracks around his fingers which was tightening even more.

"Eh?"  Tenchi blinked in confusion at first, but soon realized his cousin's phobia of cats.  "Oh I see!  You think Ryo-ohki's a cat.  Don't worry, Ranma.  She is NOT a cat.  You have nothing to worry about."

But Ranma didn't seem all that convinced as he refused to come down.  "Then, then what is it?!  Why is it crying like a cat!?"

"I am telling you, she is NOT a cat!  She is..."

"She is what?!"

"She is... um... she is..."

"Well!?!"

"......"

"Well, what is she?!?"

Tenchi stood frozen for a while, then turned to Ryoko for help.  "Um, Ryoko. What is Ryo-ohki, exactly?"

"Huh?  Ryo-ohki?  What are you talking about?  Ryo-ohki is Ryo-ohki, of course."

"Um, I didn't mean that...  Eh, Washu-chan?  What is Ryo-ohki?"

"Ryo-ohki?  She is a multi-shape, hyperspace trans..."

"No, no.  I mean what kind of animals is she?"

"Oh that!  Well she is a genetically engineered mass-based life form composed of combined DNA of both..."

"*sigh* Forget it."

Then Sasami stood on his side as she took Ryo-ohki in her own arms.  "Ryo-ohki is our friend.  Right, Ryo-chan?"

"Myah!"

"Um, yes, Ranma.  She is our friend.  I guess that's the best I can put."  Tenchi scratched his head with sheepish grin.  But his cousin didn't look so relieved.  Ranma kept eyeing Ryo-ohki with some skeptism and fear.

Akane rubbed her forehead.  She should have guessed that things like this would happen if that cat-voiced animal was here.  She should have taken it away from Ranma while he was out cold.  'But still!  It still doesn't mean he can act so rudely in front of all these strangers!'

"Ranma, get down right now and..."

Akane blinked when Ranma calmly landed down on the floor before she could finish her words.  He was still acting cautious though, as he slowly approached his cousin with his eyes set dead on the animal that looked like a cat and a rabit combined.

Ranma finally reached his cousin's side, but he quickly hid behind Tenchi, still watching Ryo-ohki carefully.  "You sure that's not a cat?"

"Yes, Ranma.  I am absolutely positive."  Tenchi spoke as a big sweatdrop appeared on the back of his head.  'Last time I checked a cat wouldn't transform into a big spaceship.'

"Oooooookay."  Then Ranma slowy took a step towards Sasami, who still held the animal in question in her arms.  Then he took an another slow step, cautiously eyeing Ryo-ohki.

But before he could take another step, Sasami took her hands out, presenting Ryo-ohki close to Ranma.  He jumped a startled step back, but stopped when Sasami spoke.  "Don't be afraid, Ranma-niichan.  She won't hurt you."

Tenchi added in, hoping to ease Ranma's fear.  "Yes, Ranma.  She is harmless.  Trust me."

"Um... Didn't Ryo-ohki use to be wanted for the destruction of several hundreds of planets?"

Bonk!

"Quiet, you fool!"

"Ouch!  Sorry, Kiyone!"

Thankfully Ranma didn't hear the small chat between the two GP ladies since all his attention was now fully focused on Ryo-ohki.  Swallowing a gulp audibly, he took a hand out.  'I ain't a coward.  Uh-uh.  No way.  It ain't a cat, so there is no reason to be afraid.  I ain't a chicken!  If it's not a cat, I ain't scared!'

He froze in terror again though, when Ryo-ohki jumped out of Sasami's hands and landed right on his arm.  "Wha, wha, wha..."

While Ranma mumbled in fear, Ryo-ohki ran along his arm and stood on his shoulder.  Then she rubbed her head on Ranma's cheek, softly meowing.  A shiver ran down his spine as his entire body was paralyzed.  "Eh, eh, eh..."

"Look!  she likes you, Ranma-niichan!"

"She sure does.  Aren't you glad, Ranma?"

"Yes, Ranma.  Aren't you glad?"  Akane smirked, fully knowing that right now Ranma was on the verge of fainting away.  With her complex to Ranma's superior martial arts skill, it was somewhat fun to see him fumble like this.

Ryoko smirked also, seeing Tenchi's cousin so scared and afraid.  "Heh.  A grown-up boy scared of some cats.  What a chump."

Even Ayeka nodded with disapproving look on her face.  "Really.  A member of Juraian Royal Family showing a foolish weakness like that.  That's really shameful."

The girls looked at each other, somewhat shocked to see themselves agree on something so quick.  Then they both broke out in laughters.

"Yeah, what an idiot!  Scared of mere cats!  Bwahahahahahah!!"
"You are right!  Ohohohohohoh!!"

"Oh Misaki-dono!  What a surprise to see you here.  Another secret visit?"

SWISH!!

KABOOM!!

Everyone in the room blinked when they felt a gush of wind pass by them.  They were even more dumbfounded when they saw two big holes on the wall now, one Ryoko-shaped and one Ayeka-shaped.  Sasami blinked some more before she turned to Washu.  "Um, Washu.  What are you talking about?  My mom isn't here."

"Oh really?  My mistake, eheheh."  Washu grinned as she answered.



After some moments, Ranma and Akane finally sat down on the living room sofa, surrounded by the residents of the Masaki Mansion.  Tenchi sighed with a defeated look on his face.  'I might as well get it over with...'

"Well Ranma.  Let me introduce my friends.  The ones sitting right in front of you are Mihoshi-san and Kiyone-san..."

"Hi!"  Mihoshi enthusiastically greeted the guests, while Kiyone calmly did so.  "Hello."

"...they are... um... Galaxy Police Officers..."  Tenchi sweatdropped when both Ranma and Akane's eyebrows twitched slightly.  'I am not sure I am doing the right thing here...'

"...and the one beside them is, as you met earlier, Washu."

"Nice to meet you!  And please, call me Washu-chan!"

"She is... the greatest scientist in the universe..."  'Not to mention 20,000 years old, but I am not telling you that.  She might put me through another one of her "experiments" for that.'

Ranma fearfully eyed Washu, while Akane greeted her politely.  But the youngest Tendo was also feeling a bit afraid of the pink haired girl.  'She gives me creep...  There is something in her eyes that scares me... something almost like... Nabiki...'  Akane shuddered at the thought.

Tenchi continued.  "And the one sitting beside Washu is..."

But before he could finish it, Ranma interrupted.  "I know, I know.  Minagi-san, right?  We already met yesterday."

BAM!

Akane fumed at Ranma, not noticing facefaulted Ryoko on the ground.  "Ranma! Don't be so rude!  Tenchi-san is only trying to be more formal."

"Um... Ranma?  Akane-san?  She is not Minagi."

"Eh?"  That caught both Ranma and Akane's attention,  They both blinked in confusion.

"She is Ryoko, Minagi's... sister."

"Eh?"

Ryoko got up as she held her still painful nose.  "Geez.  Nice to meet you too, idiots."

Ignoring Ryoko's snide comment, Tenchi went on.  "And she is... ex-space pirate..."

"Eh?"

"...and she is... Washu-chan's... daughter..."

"EH?!?!"

"That's right!  She is my precious, precious child.  Come here, Ryoko-chan!  Come to mama!"  Washu suddenly jumped on Ryoko, trying to hug her.  Ryoko did her best trying to keep her away, much to no avail.

"Get away from me, Washu!!  You are giving me goosebumps!!"

"Nothing to be embarassed about, Ryoko-chan!  Let your mommy give you a smooch-gooch~."

"What the hell are you talking about?!?  Get that ugly face away from me!!"

All through this, Ranma and Akane just stared at the struggling duo with their jaws hanging in the air.  Ranma lifted his hand and pointed at Washu.  "She is her mo, mo, mo..."

Akane dumbly followed her fiance, pointing at Ryoko.  "That means she is her dau, dau, dau..."

Tenchi sighed.  "Basically."  'They are taking this better than I thought.  Well, they didn't act so surprised when they heard about Minagi, but I guess even they have problem understanding Washu and Ryoko.'

Seeing that the two guests from Nerima were still in disbelief, Tenchi decided to go on with the introduction.  "The one sitting next to you is, well, you know Sasami."

"Hello again!"

"And the one beside her is Ayeka-san, Sasami's sister."

"Nice to meet you, Saotome-san, Tendo-san.  My, I was really looking forward to this.  I am so glad to see another grandchild of dear Yosho-oniisan."

Somehow that shook Ranma out of his trance, as he asked dumbly.  "Yosho... oniisan?"

Tenchi quickly filled in his cousin.  "Oh she means our grandpa.  It seems that Yosho was his real name.  When he was young..."

"Wa, wa, wait a minute!  BACK IT UP FOR A SEC!  So this "Yosho" is our grandpa?"

"Um, yes."

"And she," Ranma pointed at Ayeka, "and Sasami-chan here," and at Sasami, "are his sisters?!"

"Um, since he is their brother... I guess so."  Tenchi felt like he was approaching a dangerous subject for some reason but went on explaining anyway.

"Now I heard enough!  What in the world are you pulling here, Ten-chan?"

"Huh?  What do you I am "pulling?"  What are you talking about, Ranma-chan?"

"I am asking you about what kind of joke you are pulling here!!"

"Joke?  What joke?"  Tenchi blinked.

"Them!  I am talking about them!"  Ranma pointed towards the Masaki family members.

Tenchi sweatdropped.  "What about them?"

Ranma began to talk, almost screaming at his confused cousin.  "I can understand Minagi-san being an alien.  I can also understand TWO police officers from... wherever they came from."

Kiyone twitched her eyebrow at this, although Mihoshi just blinked.

"I can even believe that 12 years-old innocent-looking girl over there is really a sadistic psycho scientist!"

Washu batted her eyebrows as if saying "who, me?" while Tenchi frantically waved his arms trying to stop his cousin from offending the dangerous scientist.

"I can even accept the fact that the old punky lady over there is really that pshycho's daughter!"

Ryoko nodded smirking at Washu before realizing what Ranma had just said.  "Hey!!"

Not paying attention to her, Ranma went on.  "But I REFUSE to believe these two gals are sisters of my grandpa or something.  That simply can't be true!!"

"Eh?"  Sasami blinked when Ranma pointed his finger towards them.  "Um, what could he mean by that, Ayeka-neesan?"

"How should I know?"  Ayeka answered with a deep frown.  "How rude of him to just ignore our position in the family, not to mention pointing fingers."

Tenchi was also confused.  "Um, what's so wrong with that?"

"What's so wrong?!?  What's so wrong?!?  I'll tell you what's so wrong!!  That means they are our great-aunts, that's what's wrong!!"

"Whah?"  Tenchi tried to reply, but nothing came up in his head.  Somehow something that he had put deep behind his mind was coming back to haunt him. His eyebrows began to twitch and so did his mouth.  "Wha, what are you..."

Ranma frowned as he explained again.  "They are this "Yosho" guy's sisters, right?"

"Yes... but what does that have to do with..."

"And this "Yosho" is our grandpa, right?"

"Yes..."

"Then THAT means they are our great-aunts!  Ain't that right?"

"Eh..."

Before Tenchi could gather his mind, Washu spoke up with a sly grin.  "Actually, I myself have been wondering about that for quite some time.  You treat Sasami like your younger sister or something, but isn't she your elder in the family, technically speaking?"

Ryoko scratched her chin.  "Now that you mention it, I guess this jerk is right.  Sasami IS Yosho's sister, after all."

"Eh?  Really?"  Sasami blinked her eyes.  She had never thought of it that way.

Ayeka nodded with understanding.  "Hmm... I guess that SHOULD be right...  I mean, we DID put ourselves in cold sleep, so we LOOK younger than we actually are.  But in essence, we are Tenchi-sama's elders in our family tree."

"Wow, that means Tenchi-san is NOT the head of this family any more.  How cool!"  Mihoshi chimed in.

"Hey, how about Nobuyuki-san?  I thought he was the head?"  Kiyone added with a still curious look on her face.

"She is her dau, dau, dau..."  Akane was WAY behind the conversation.

Right now Tenchi's brain was trying to sort out the information that it had just received.  'Wait a minute here...  Ayeka-san and Sasami-chan came to Earth looking for their brother... who is Yosho in the legend... who is really my grandfather... so I am Yosho's grandson... and Ayeka-san and Sasami-chan's great nephew... that means they are my great aunts... like the one who has that hot spring place we destroyed before... the one who's all old and wrinkled up, sorry great auntie...'

The conclusion?  It had decided that Ranma was indeed right in saying that the two Juraian princesses were his great aunts, despite the fact that Tenchi had always thought of and treated them like their sisters.  But the truth was always so mighty and powerful, as it caused his brain to freeze due to the shock.  For the second time today, Tenchi's brain decided to do its best option at such a situation.  It shut down, again.

Thud!

"Aaack!  Tenchi-sama!"
"Tenchi-niichan!"
"Tenchi!"
"Boy, he is out cold.  Tenchi-dono is really troublesome."
"Oh my.  Tenchi-san!"
"Tenchi-san!"

"Yo, Ten-chan?  You all right?"
"She is her dau, dau, dau..."

Bam!

At that precise moment, the door of the Masaki house slammed open, revealing the old priest in his workout outfit, fully equipped with a bokken on his side.  Right behind him nervous Minagi followed.

"Tenchi!!  I heard that you came home today!  Then why didn't you show up for the practice?  You still haven't..."  Katsuhito paused when he saw his forementioned grandson lying on the floor, surrounded by the girls who now stared at him.  "You are sleeping?  In this time of the day?  It seems that you still need more discipline.  Get up boy!  We got work to..."

"Who's this noisy old man?"

"?"  Katsuhito looked around and saw a pig-tailed boy staring at him.  'Who's this... wait, isn't that Ranma?'

"Why, if it isn't Ranma-chan.  It's been a long time, hasn't it?"  The old priest greeted his other grandson with a kind smile.  After all, he had always missed his grandson whom he rarely got to see.  Deep in his conscious he was feeling rather guilty of enstranging Nodoka, and the guilt was expressed as his deep kindness toward her son.  His grandfatherly love overflowed for the young Saotome.

"Huh?  You know me?  Who the hell are you, anyway?"

But the boy bluntly blocked off that flow of love...  Katsuhito almost fell down as he fumbled a bit.  He soon got his balance back, and blinked his eyes in confusion.  "What do you mean "who the hell" am I?  Don't you remember me?  I am your grandpa!"

Ranma's skeptism didn't disappear so easily though.  "Really?"

"Yes, really.  I am your grandfather.  Masaki Katsuhito."

"Wha, wha, wha.  You ain't my grandpa!  They just told me that my grandpa's name is Yosho."

"Eh?  Well, that IS my real name..."

"I bet it is, you fraud!  What kind of an idiot do you take me for?  You ain't him!"

"What?  But I am!"

"Uh-uh.  I don't know what you are pulling here, Mister, but I ain't falling for it."

By now Akane had gotten her sense back and ran to Ranma's side.  "Ranma!  Why are you being so harsh on him?  He must be your grandpa.  Beside, why would he lie about it?"

But Ranma's suspicion didn't die away.  "I don't know, but somehow he looks fishy."

"Fi, fishy?"  A vein popped on the forehead of the old priest.  His grandson or not, the boy was now testing his patience.

Heedless of now stern face of the priest, Ranma went on, pointing at Katsuhito's bokken.  "Not only that, I ain't trusting any bokken-yielding idiot."(2)

"I, idiot??"  A vein just turned into TWO veins.

"And the most of all, he don't look so tough.  He can't be my grandpa, looking so fragile and all."

"F, fragile???"  The veins now became uncountable, as Katsuhito finally took out his bokken.  "It seems that you need some harsh lesson of grandfatherly love, my boy.  En garde!"

Ranma smirked as he saw his opponent ready and eager.  "Anytime, old man!"

"Ranma?  What are you... eeeeeeek!!"  Akane quickly jumped back as the bokken slashed at the place where Ranma stood a moment ago.  Ranma landed right beside Katsuhito and tried to side-kick the priest, who casually rolled away from the boy.

Katsuhito readied his bokken again as he began to smirk.  "I see that your father had taught you... adequately so far.  I may have to try A LITTLE harder."  'Not bad.  I always gave Genma some credit for his skill, but it seems Ranma has already surpassed his father.'

Ranma also smirked, carefully eyeing the bokken in the priest's hands.  "You are gonna need more than A LITTLE."  'He's good.  He might be my grandpa after all.  I can see why pop's so afraid of him.'

"Come!"

"Hyaaahhhh!!"

CRASH!  CRACK!  KABOOM!  WAM!  BAM!  SLAM!

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhh!!  Stop it Ranma!"
"Yosho-niisan, get a hold of yourself!"

Akane and Ayeka tried to calm down the two combatants with no avail.  On the side Ryoko and Mihoshi were cheering for... no one particular.  They just loved watching the fight.  All the while Washu was busy trying to record the entire brawl and get some datas on the two people of the Juraian royal family.  Kiyone quietly rubbed her head as she tended to the Sleeping Prince with Sasami, who also took a worried side glance at Katsuhito and Ranma.  Then the young girl felt a tap on her shoulder.  Sasami turned to see the confused face of Minagi.

"What happened to Tenchi-san?"

"Um... it's a long story..."

"Okay..."



Part 1 ends.
