[FFML] [fic][multixover]Family Trees 10

Last Episode: Ohhh....let us see what happened last
episode. It turns out that a lot of this gathering is
the result of a practical result by Urd attempting to
annoy Skuld. Upon learning that she has mortal (in a
manner of speaking) descendants in the area, however,
Belldandy decides to pay a visit. The sisters
Metallium all meet each other and Iako decides to hang
around in an effort to get revenge on her father for
daring to make her so closely related to both demons
and Yohko. Kiyone finally comes clean (ahem) on some
personality traits she inherited from Xellos. It is
revealed that Mihoshi has some acheived Super Saiyan
status and generally constantly remains super because
"she likes blonde hair." Ukyou labors, sort of, over
her descision between mortality and immortality after
learning Ranma is practically immortal as well.
Meanwhile her father learns that the Kuonji contract
is invalid on its face and in a move that surprises
everybody Akane and Ranma make public their affection
for each other now that NEITHER of them can be held to
ANY agreement involving the Tendos or the Saotomes.
And lets not forget that a long time ago, Ukyou let
slip that an accident with a love potion once resulted
in her and Ryouga getting better acquainted one night.

phew

"Hey guys," Lina said. "Let's stop here a moment."
She started drifting down to the ground, predictably,
toward what looked to be a buffet touting itself as
"all you can eat."
"Lina-san," Amelia said. "We don't have all that
long to be around here..." ~Not to mention the fact
that the ONLY good thing about this is that I get to
see my baby again after so long.~
"Hey," Lina said. "Would you prefer me and Gourry
to destroy this restaurant's lauder, or your
daughters?"
The other Slayers considered that for a moment.
"Let's stop here," came the unanimous decision. In
very little time they were walking into the restaurant
and waiting in line as in instructed. Ahead of them a
discussion was going on.
"And I expect you to be perfectly well behaved," a
woman's voice was saying.
"Yes, oneesama," another woman said.
"Eat at a proper human pace," said the first woman.
The Slayers heard Lina urk and suddenly turned to
look at the pale sorceress.
"Yes, oneesama," said the second voice. She
sounded a mixture between terrified and bored.
Strange mixture that. Zelgadis looked further down
the line and blanched.
"Sherra Grausherra is in line ahead of us," he
whispered. Nobody paid attention to the urking and
pale Lina as they looked past the other assorted
people to see Sherra standing in line and looking
frozen in place.
"No annoying people to feed your sword," the other
person, a tall, purple haired woman. "He'll get
plenty of nourishment from the wait staff without you
deliberately egging them on."
"Yes, oneesama," Sherra said woodenly, nodding.
"And go invite your twin sister and brother-in-law
to join us," the woman said finally.
"Yes, oneesa...huh?" Sherra blinked and looked back
to see Lina flinch as she tried to sneak out of the
restaurant. "LINA!!!! No WAY you are leaving me
alone with HER..." the purple haired woman LOOKED at
Sherra and she flinched and spoke in a very, very,
very, tiny voice. "No offense....oneesama."
The Slayers all readied for battle, resulting in
the other people in line between them and the two
women scattering.
"You do not want to take us all on, Grausherra,"
Filia said coolly.
"Errr...Dynast fired me," Sherra said nervously.
"What was that?" Amelia asked. "A Darklord...fired
his servant?"
"Something about should have known better than to
hire me in the first place," Sherra muttered
irritably. "I was going to stay with my
ex-husband...but he sort of tried to cut off all my
hair."
"Yes, and she called me to give her a lift back
home. Lina," the purple-haired woman said to the
red-haired sorceress still frozen at the door. "I do
believe I invited you and your brother-in-law to join
us."
"Yes Oneesama," Lina said walking over to her
sister very slowly. "It has been a long time...hasn't
it."
"Four hundred years since either of you even sent
me a message," the purple haired woman said. "And
suddenly I hear from Sherra. 'Oneesama, I lost my job
and I got stranded over her in Mom's and Dad's
world...can you help me get home?' And you...I have
to happen on you by accident."
"You're four hundred years old, Lina?" Gourry
asked. "Wow, that's why you're so small...withered I
guess." Lina was too terrified at the moment to
retaliate.
"Wait," Filia said. "If you're Lina's older sister
that would make you...is that you Ceipheed-sama?"
"Really Filia," Luna said. "Don't you recognize me
out of my work uniform?"
This produced a collection urks from most of the
Slayers as they realized who they were talking to,
with one notable exception.
"Oh, hello Grandfather," Luna said casually to
Xellos. Three sets of female eyes were suddenly
latched onto Xellos and speaking the same word.
"GRANDFATHER!!?!?!?!" Sherra, Lina and most loudly
(as well as violently as she dragged him down to her
eye level) Amelia.

"So you're dead set on immortality then?" Leaf
asked her daughter. Ukyou sighed.
"Well look at it this way Mom," she said, gesturing
toward the gathering of half-mazoku and the jubliant
pair of Ranma and Akane. "It looks like everybody I
know is going to live for thousands of years,
practically on toward immortallity. They DON'T have a
choice, I do...I choose to hang around
Ranma...errr...them."
"That does make a good point," Leaf sighed and
started to rub her eyes. "I am really considering
taking up that Kiyone girl's offer for a massage
"Errr...Mom," Ukyou said. "Do you know what she
means by 'massage'?" Leaf stopped and cracked open an
eye to glance at Ukyou.
"I assume she meant a massage," Leaf said.
"Yeah," Ukyou said. "A full body massage..."
"A full...oh...OH!" Leaf's eyes popped wide.
"Thanks for the warning, Ukyou, she was quite
persuasive that could have...by the way...just how do
you know that?"
"Errr...no reason," Ukyou said blushing. ~Well Mom
is right. She's REALLY persuasive.~
"Excuse me," Leaf said, standing up and striding
over towards the half-mazoku. "KIYONE MAKIBI!!!!!!"
"Yeah, what is...ulp," Kiyone looked back and saw
Ukyou making desparate 'run away' gestures, saw Leaf
advancing like the wrath of God and winced as she
prepared to do something that would forever mar her
reputation as cool and in control. Angered parents
tended to do that to her though. "Umm...Excuse, me, I
have to..."
"But won't you miss meeting your mother then?"
Ayeka asked, with a touch of reprimand and amusement.
Kiyone froze in her would be attempt to escape
righteous reputation and slumped resignedly.
"You're going to enjoy this aren't you?" Kiyone
asked.
"You need to learn to settle down," Ayeka snapped
irritably. "If I am going to be related to you, I
will not be connected to a slut."
"You!" Leaf snapped as she arrived, glaring at
Kiyone. "I want to talk to you!" She reached out and
snagged the nervous Kiyone by the ear and started to
walk away.
"Hey! I didn't do anything she didn't want to do!"
Kiyone protested. Leaf stopped next to Ryouga
remembering certain things that were let slip earlier.
She turned to glare at him.
"Errk..." Ryouga said intelligently as Leaf's free
hand shot out to grab his ear.
"AND WHILE I'M AT IT, YOU'RE COMING TOO!!!" she
growled and started dragging the too of them off. She
glanced toward Ukyou. "UKYOU!!! FOLLOW!!!"
"Uhh...okay Mom," Ukyou said nervously.
"Anybody else get the feeling there's going to be
at least one shotgun wedding there?" Ryoko asked.
"Man do I feel sorry for them," Ranma said.
"Well, Ukyou and Ryouga anyway," Akane said. "By
the way, has she tried anything with YOU Ranma?"
"Errr, not sure," Ranma said. "She was talking to
me for awhile kind of funny and then got really
frustrated and stomped off muttering about eunuchs or
something."
Nabiki blinked and looked at Ranma for a moment
before dropping to the ground laughing.
"Did I say something funny?" Ranma asked.
"You know," Ryoko said. "I'd have yourself checked
out for some sort of brain damage. Because from what
I gather, NOBODY has actually outright not figured out
she was trying to seduce them."
"They either tell her off or wake up next to her,"
Nabiki confirmed between laughs. "Oh that is just too
perfect."
"So because I didn't notice," Ranma said. "I have
brain damage."
"Probably something your father did," Akane said
irritably. "Like body toughening by beating you with
steal rebar or something."
"Hey," Ranma said. "Gave me the hardest head that
I know of." Everybody looked at them and tried to
decide if Ranma knew he had just insulted himself.
Akane just threw a bucket of water over him in a state
of amused exasperation.
"What's the elf-lady doing to my brother and
Kiyone," Mihoshi asked.

****************************

Kodachi took a look at the lovely outfit the
bracelet had formed for her and cackled. Soon...very
soon...she would release the family patron and then
her Ranma-sama would be hers.

*****************************

Nodoka watched the scene with a light heart and
leaned back to enjoy the natural environments.
Suddenly a pale-skinned woman with midnight black hair
stepped out of the tree next to her.
"Nodoka Saotome," the woman said very formally. "I
am Artemis. I am here to inform you that due to your
good nature it has been decreed that you are to
receive one wish."
"Any wish?" Nodoka asked, blinking in a little
surprise.
"Yes," Artemis said a little irritated...and sort
of nervous. She was sort of hoping that the other
beings in the area didn't notice her before she got
this done with. That MAKIBI girl was somewhere
around...
"Well," Nodoka said. "My only real wish is that
Akane and Ranma give me some nice heavenly
grandchildren soon." Artemis had time to look over to
Ranma and Akane before the display of power produced
by a granted wish called all eyes to her.
"I'll get right to working on that wish," Artemis
said quickly with an almost drunk expression on her
face. Then she stepped back into a tree and vanished.

*****************************

"Hecate! Hecate!" Artemis shouted.
"What is it, Artemis," Hecate asked sounding rather
depressed. "I have work to do."
"Remember you said we needed some mortals if we
were ever going to produce children that were both
ours?" Artemis asked.
"Yes," Hecate said, depressed. "Polymorphing
doesn't work because of what your brother did to
me...and well that's the only answer I've found."
"Wait until you hear about the wish I just
granted," Artemis said.

*****************************

A man wandered through a barren wasteland and
sighed. He looked from one end of the vast, dead lake
before him, to the other.
"WHERE THE HELL AM I NOW!?!?" he demanded angrily.
And Nate Grey, a man from a universe that no longer
existed, wondered just where he had been deposited
this time around.
