I just sorta realized that I started this fic almost two years ago.. I
think it was after reading YAAH4 that I got the feeling to write another
part.. been putting it off for too long.. before anyone asks, I'm going to
be reposting the other chapters in abit.. most of them were never posted
here, if any..

	Of Honor Won and Time Lost
	Part 6
	"Pork"

	Ranma got up fromt he table and looked down at the old crone. "Cologne.. I
take it you got my letter?"
	"Yes I did Son-in-law, I'm really disturbed by what you had to say. We had
an agreement."
	"Ranma will marry Shampoo!" The purple-haired woman chimed in.
	"I was ready to, but things have gotten beyond my control. Everyone this
is Cologne, and Shampoo. That over there is Ukyou, one of my fiancees, "
Ranma stubled over the word." Ryouga you already know. Soun Tendo and his
daughter Akane; apparently I'm to marry her, not defeat her. And the last
is.."
	"Happosai.." Cologne hissed.
	"Why if it isn't little Cologne.. Who'd have thought you'd grow up to be
so ugly?" Without another word, Happosai returned to his meal.
	"Others don't matter. Ranma come marry Shampoo."
	"Ranma, you agreed to marry Shampoo as soon as this was over. It's over,
Let's go"
	"I can't, my honor.."
	Happosai chose this moment to interupt, "Who gave you the right to order
around my student, Cologne?"
	"Your student? don't make me laugh Happy, I taught him everything he
knows." Ranma bristled at this but Happosai ignroed him and kept on going.
	"Which wasn't much, It only took me two minutes to beat him, and I've been
out of training for the last twenty years.. He couldn't beat a butterfly,
It's up to me to teach him the art."
	"You didn't beat me that easily old man! I had you on your knees!"
	"It doesn't matter who was winning only who does."
	"I can't believe you got me with such a cheap shot! Even as bad as my
father was, at least he had some amount of honor. You, you have none!"
	"But you'll still honor your promise won't you?" The old man eyed him, a
glint of satisfaction in his eye.
	"Yeah.. I have no choice. I gave my word."
	"So there you go Cologne! He's my student, and sa his teacher I will
decide who's best for him."
	"We will see about that." Cologne retorted, an edge to her voice.
	Happosai blithely ignore her, turning to the women. "Well, since I've got
to decide who's best for Ranma, I better get on it. First we're going to
test how good you are at the.. wifely duties. Who wants to go first?"
	With a resounding cry of "Hentai" the three prospective wives kicked the
old lech into the stratospshere.


	A rock on the edge of the Tendou koi pond watched sadly as Ukyou expressed
hre love for this Saotome guy. Why she loved someone like him.. A tear ran
down the side of the boulder, as it scuttled off in anger.


	Shampoo was puzzled as a rock picked itself up and ran away sobbing. She'd
grown used to many strange things, being promised to a man who was often a
women. She chalked this one up as another odd thing about Japan, to go with
the oversized wildlife and numerous crossdressers.
	Turning back to the table, her eyes lit up as she looked upon her
husband-to-be. Her gaze moved along, ignoring the old man, he was of no
importance; There was some other man who claimed to be Ranma's fiancee,
seemed absurd to her, Airen didn't hate his curse anymore, but there was no
awy he'd chose another man when he oculd have Shampoo. Ryouga she knew, a
strong fighter, not a very smart one, although he was much better now that
he'd calmed down and wasn't tryign to kill Ranma, and he still tended to
get lost going to the bathroom.
	Now this Akane girl. She was a problem. Not bad looking, strong look to
her, could be a warrior. Would be best if she got rid of her, after all she
was an obstacle. But no, Ranma doesn't like needless violence, and that
might ruin whta little hope was left of salvaging their agreement. Shampoo
would just have to show that she was the best wife.


	Ranma's breath was knocked out of him as Shampoo glomped onto him,
snuggling into his chest.  He wasn't a little boy anymore, and wasn't
frightened off by public displays of affection, wanted or not. What scared
him was the reaction Ukyou and Akane had. Both seemed ready to kill
someone, him he hoped not, but if it was Shampoo; he was still too close
for comfort. Luckily, Ryouga saved the day, pulling her off of him.
	"I know you and Ranma are used to doing that anywhere you want, but here
we have other people to think of."
	"Shampoo doesn't understand, but will wait until later when others asleep,
try not to be to loud. Even if Ranam so good."
	The two other fiancess didn't take this well at all, and Ranma knew, even
if it had been directed at Shampoo before, their anger was squarely on him.
He decided he'd have to say something, before they startde acting out their
anger.
	"Oh come on! I was sure I was going to marry her. Don't tell em none of
you ever had sex!"
	All he got was a blank stare, and a smirk from Cologne. Ranam focused on
her. "I don't want to konw, I really don't want to konw."
	"Ukyou?"
	"I was saving myself for you, I always thouhgt you would do the.." She gto
up and ran out of the room crying.
	Ranma was about to poen his mouht but Akane beat him to it. "Father
wouldn't let me talk to men, nevermind sleep with them,"
	Trying to avoid her glare he moved onto the next person, "Come on Ryuoga,
back me up."
	"You know how I am.. I've had a few chances.. but I always passed out
first.."
	"Soemone has to agree with me! Mr.Tendo?"
	"Not before I was married."
	"OK FINE! I'M A PERVERT! OK?!? YOU ALL HAPPY?!? I PLAY WITH MYSELF IN
FEMALE FORM AND SCREW ANY CHICK WHO GIVES ME THE CHANCE! IS THAT WHAT YOU
WANT TO HEAR? IS IT??!?"
	Ranma stood up at looked downon all the others, "I'm going out, when I
come back I hope you people will have grown up and stopped thinking like a
bunch of high school kids."
	With that he bounded through the yard and ovre the fence.

	Ryouga smiled at the scene Ranma had just left behind. How easy it had
been to manipulate him into bringing Shampoo here. And once she was here,
he didn't really have to do anything. Sure he was ruining Ranma's chance at
happiness, but he deserved it. Not for pushing him into Jusenkyo, he'd
learned to deal with his curse; the bread? That was a long time ago. Even
though Ranma was his friend, probably hsi only one, he had to pay for what
he was putting Ukyou through. If only he'd spoken to Ukyou before, it would
do nothing now, she was too caught up in the competition to think about
him, and how he might feel. As he'd promised Soun, Ranma would chose Akane,
if that fell through, Shampoo. But no way was he getting Ukyou. Ryouga was
going to make sure of that.


	Akari watched as a man dressed in chinese clothes jumped out of a yard and
ran off down the street, away from a.. dojo? Maybe there was someone storng
enough there, she whistled for Kastsunishiki. she didn't have to wait long,
it looked as if her prize sumo pig had been fighting again, but he was
barely scratched. It was too bad, Akari was really getting tired of being
alone. Hopefully he would lose, with that thought, Akari pointed out the
dojo's yard. Katsunishiki grunted in understanding and started his charge.
