This is the end folks. Hope you've enjoyed our wild and wacky tale.

Sid

Ryoga thought nothing of it when he reached out and took Ranma's hand; she looked slightly surprised to see their hands enjoined, but gave his an affectionate squeeze. They were together now and didn't feel the need to hide it. It not longer mattered about whom people were trying to get her to marry, Ranma had chosen for herself and she felt happy and contented with her choice. Ryoga himself felt like he was walking on air as he strode beside her. Feeling the need to be as close to her was possible; Ryoga wrapped an arm around her slim waist and drew her to his side. Ranma smiled and wrapped her arm around him. Their obvious affection for each other drew some stares and neither noticed, they were too wrapped up in their love and their worlds had shrunk to the person beside them.

Ranma was relieved to find out that Happosai was in the dojo itself; they needed his approval for this to work. They found the ancient warrior ironing his lingerie collection as he happily and carefully folded each garment and lovingly sorted them into piles. "Master Happosai, I request an audience with you..." Ranma said respectfully.

"Why so formal, Ranma m'boy?" he asked suspicious about Ranma being respectful towards him. He took a puff of his pipe and noticed that there appeared to be something different about the girl.

"I wish to change the terms of my inheritance and know that you're the only one who can help me," she said and bowed humbly before him, which Ryoga echoed.

"What would that be?" he asked.

"I'm kinda in love with Ryoga here...," she blushed, looking to the side. Ranma was used to being her normal self, so speaking about her feelings so openly wasn't as easy as displaying them. It was easier to speak like this in privacy, but she'd have to learn to adapt, which she was an expert at, "and wish you to name him as joint heir to our school. I feel that he will make a much better heir than Akane... and no offense Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi, but with Ryoga... I can train him in no time flat!" she said.

Happosai wasn't too surprised to find out that Ranma liked boys; it stood to reason as she'd never shown any interest in the myriad of beautiful girls after her "You would disinherit the Tendos'," Happosai stated, "that's some serious business there Ranma." this would require some of his fantastic convincing skills. Though he saw this coming, he couldn't say that Ranma would have chosen someone like Ryoga. The two bickered and fought constantly, miracles in love he concluded.

"We are willing to do whatever it takes to get you to agree to this" Ryoga said.

"You boy, what are your intentions towards Ranma?" Happosai asked jabbing Ryoga with his pipe.

Ryoga blushed "I love Ranma and want to marry her someday" he stammered.

There came the question, by this point Ranma had to accept that they were getting married, so she would have to stand by Ryoga, "Yeah, course I'll have ya Ryoga" she said forgetting about Happosai for a second, until he cleared his throat. Ranma blushed.

"I promised your father and Akane's that I wouldn't interfere with their decision to unit the schools through marriage," Happosai said.

"Are you sure there isn't something we can to do change your mind?" Ranma said, picking out a delectable pink bra and holding it in front of her. "I'll try on as many as you want," she offered.

"But you don't get to see her fully naked!" Ryoga objected.

Happosai glared at him "Young man, it's about the lingerie for me. I don't wish to see her completely naked." he huffed, the lost boy needed to learn and respect the art of undergarment appreciation. Though Happosai figured it didn't matter much right now; he'd learn in time, "Anyways... you have yourself a deal, Ranma m'boy!" he said and began sorting through his piles to see what she should wear; an almost child like glee in his eyes as he did so. Ryoga didn't like this part, but quickly got into it when 'his' Ranma wore a secession of skimpy baby doll lingerie, merry widows, peignoir sets, corsets, garter belts with stocking and bras and panties. All of it was stuff that he approved of and he was rather feeling amorous at the end of her peepshow.

"I think you've seen enough" Ryoga said forcefully and draped her shirt around her. She couldn't help smiling; she liked it when he got protective of her.

"No, more, more. You're so mean!" Happosai said with huge eyes, on the verge of crying.

"We lived up to our side of the bargain, now it's your turn." Ranma said.

"Okay, I can see that Ryoga would make an excellent co-heir to our school but the Tendo's can't be neglected. I can agree if you promise to make an alliance where a child of yours marries a child of theirs," he said.

"What if we can't have them..." Ranma said cautiously; also frightened of the prospect of actually having children. She was born a man after all, the idea of making a child... was a little shocking.

"With the bulge in your fellas pants, I'd say that you'll have no trouble" Happosai said, this caused Ryoga to blush and cover himself.

"I guess we can agree to that." Ranma said shyly.

"And Ryoga has to continue to go to school, a martial artist must be intelligent" Happosai said.

"I can agree to that" Ryoga said sourly, he hated school. Once again, Ranma had brought Ryoga pain and suffering but maybe this was the kind he could stand.

"You two have my blessings then!" Happosai said. "Come on, I shall have to inform my students of some changes taking place!" he said, leading the awkwardly happy couple to the house.

The Tendo family was in attendance and somewhat shocked to learn of the new development "You would take away my little girl's right to inherit her own legacy!" Soun exploded, all large head and wagging tongue.

"Ryoga would make a far better heir than Akane; it's your own fault for not properly training your daughters. I never asked to marry any of them or anyone. I have the right to marry who I want... and-and, I love Ryoga" Ranma said, taking a deep breathe. This was kinda' difficult for Ranma after how much she had shared with the Tendo family. She felt that she owed them so much, but wasn't it worse to ignore her own feelings? She loved Akane, but not in the sense where Ranma would marry her. After all this time, she was provided with clarity... she only thought she loved Akane because everyone had made them out to be lovers. It was an expectation that was placed onto her shoulders that she couldn't bear anymore.

"You foolish boy, what are you a girl?" Genma sneered.

"Yeah? So What!" Ranma said. "Pops I've been following your stupid training all my life. You wanted me to marry someone I didn't even know so you could lay around and mooch off this family!" she proudly declared.

"Oh my..." Kasumi said.

"Somehow... that doesn't surprise me" Nabiki observed.

"Akane I'm not trying to take your legacy away from you...!" Ranma explained, "I don't wanna' lose my claim because I want to be with Ryoga!" Ranma said to the girl who was silently watching her.

"Ranma... I'll admit that I'm disappointed with this, but Ryoga is a better heir than me... I can't deny that." she stated, "Besides I want to be a veterinarian, I have no problem with it," she said. Akane only followed the art to stay in shape anyways.

"But Akane!" Soun wailed. "You're supposed to marry Ranma, we were supposed to unite the schools!"

"I never wanted to marry him, he's become like a brother to me," she said. "You've been shoving him down my throat for over a year and refuse to listen when we said we didn't want to marry" Akane said, she of course had pondered the thought of being romantically involved with the pig tailed martial artist, but no matter. It was always awkward between them and it had never really felt like they were meant to be. The feeling of uncertainty was always in the air with them. Now that, that was gone... it was as if she was releasing a very long held in sigh.

Soun turned to his other daughters "If Akane won't marry Ranma one of you shall have to take her place." he declared.

"I refuse" Nabiki said filing her nails.

"And I don't like younger guys." Kasumi said, "I'm really sorry father."

"Silence!" Happosai said thumping the floor. "You forget yourself Soun!" Happosai said, enforcing his powers of intimidation on his student, "You are only students and I am your master. I've already given them my word." the aged martial artist finished. It was either obey his commands or Happosai would have to take matters into his own hands.

Ranma and Ryoga both felt nervous... Soun and Tendo stood their ground. There seemed to be a staring contest between the master and the students. Soun stood up; determination in his eyes as he stared at his master, then followed Genma. Battle aura's flared in the room, then... Happosai stood up also, flaring his aura to its highest extent. It easily towered over theirs, causing them to falls back.

"W-we're sorry master!" Soun cried, shifting around quickly so he was bowing in front of his master.

"Me too! Please forgive us master!" Genma pleaded, causing everyone else in the room to slap their foreheads; besides Kasumi who only looked to the side and smiled awkwardly.

Ryoga turned to Ranma and embraced her from the side, laughing as if he had won the lottery; which shouldn't even compare to gaining the one person everyone had fought for the past year and a half. It was like some crazy dream, a dream that neither martial artist could believe was happening. Only the future would tell if any of this worked.

Six months Later

Many things happened when Ranma and Ryoga had come out and told everyone about their love. Many of the students questioned Ranma and Ryoga, asking if they knew that their actions were considered gay. They of course shrugged it off and continued doing their own thing, only interested in getting through the day and finishing homework. While still dealing with a few of their annoyances; such as Kodachi and Kuno, although much of them hadn't been seen. They always managed to escape and ruin any plot the insane sword wielder would have used against them.

Ukyo was a different story; she had accepted it, though not without a fight. She saw how her meddling was affecting Ranma and Ryoga and couldn't bring herself to hurt them by trying to get in the way of their love. So, she decided to allow them the pleasure of her just being a friend. Not that love wasn't blooming for her anyways; there had always been that cute cross dressing boy.

Happosai was allowed a lingerie show every now and then, but of course he'd leave on occasion in order to gain more clothing for Ranma to try on. Much to Ryoga's pleasure and displeasure... mostly pleasure. Even though all this happened, the two still enjoyed an active sex life. Sometimes Ryoga would even have Ranma wear some of the lingerie, and Ranma would of course throw him a bone every once in a while, if they weren't fighting over anything. Through their struggles and everything, they managed to schedule a grand event... their wedding.

The wedding was taking place at the back of the Tendo's home. Almost everyone they knew was gathered there in hopes of seeing the beautiful Ranma and handsome Ryoga wearing their amazing wedding clothes, the two were amazingly good looking. The seats were of course the traditional white fold out ones. There was a red carpet as the aisle between the two sides of chairs. All of them filled with family and friends. Ryoga's family wasn't currently present... due to the fact that they had gotten lost on their way there and would probably arrive three or four weeks later.

The minister stood at the altar. He had no idea why Ryoga wasn't present at the altar, usually the husbands tended to wait for the brides there, but it seemed that the two followed their own ways when dealing with marriage. Good thing they hadn't kept them waiting, so there was really no frustration. Things seemed to go smoothly for them.

Inside the house, it was a much more different story...

"Ryoga!" Ranma shouted, digging through her dresser and tossing whatever clothes she could into the air. "I can't find it!" she exclaimed. For what seemed like hours she tried to find what she was missing... her bow tie. That's right, Ranma choose to wear a tux.

Ryoga had already been dressed and was now waiting on his beloved future wife. While many had suspected that Ryoga would wear a dress at their wedding, they just being silly. The lost boy also wore the classic tuxedo. It seemed that Ranma was too determined to wear a dress for her own wedding. She may be with Ryoga but that didn't mean she lost all her sense of self-being... in fact, she hadn't lost much to begin with. She was Ranma Saotome, soon to be Ranma Hibiki.

"Is this it...?" Ryoga asked, holding her bow tie up.

The redheaded girl in penguin suit (just a silly way of saying tux.) turned around and grabbed the bow tie. Though found that she couldn't really tie it herself, "Damn... hey, can ya' help me?" she asked, lowering her head as she couldn't even tie it herself.

"Where would you be without me...?" Ryoga commented and took the tie from her, then moved around behind her.

"I'd be straight then." she replied, rolling her eyes. Ryoga was cocky when she couldn't do something he could; like understanding her own handwriting.

"Heh...," Ryoga chuckled, smirking. "Would you really wanna' go back to that life?'

"Maybe, then I wouldn't have to hear ya' get so cocky..." Ranma teased, turning around as she felt that he finished tying her bow tie.

"Like you're one to talk." he smiled, then turned to the direction of the altar. "I have to go... get to the aisle and meet you there. Remember to wear your veil," he said, pointing to it on the counter. She had refused to wear the dress, but had compromised and chosen to wear the veil.

Now that everything had been taken care of, Ryoga stood at the altar. Suddenly some classic wedding-type music began, it had a traditional slow sounding violin music. Most of what they were doing was a western style wedding and they were enjoying it.

Suddenly, everyone took their attention away from the altar and turned in the direction of the opening doors of the Tendo home, for there stood Ranma and Genma. Genma was apparently giving Ranma away; though it wasn't what many had expected. Ukyo wasn't all that shocked, Ranma was really a boy at heart and this seemed just like her best friend. Akane rolled her eyes and everyone else figured it must have something to do with Ranma just being Ranma.

The priest wondered why she was dressed that way... but once he saw that everyone was generally okay with it, he shrugged it off as Ranma just being a tomboy. As they walked, flowers were being strewn in her path.

Genma... by now had accepted that his child had decided to marry another man. The only thing that would make this any more awkward would be if Ranma turned into a man for this, that wasn't the case and he'd rather not curse them on this day.

Ryoga watched Ranma walk down the aisle, he was slightly nervous... that was until the honeymoon would come around. He'd be happy then... oh boy would he be happy.

Once there the redheaded girl jumped up to the alter and took her place standing in next to Ryoga, then turned to face him while she was carrying the bouquet. The priest began speaking to them about what marriages were about and the beauty of it all, his words were laced with joy and happiness. Then once the time came he asked the two to exchange vows to each other, the first to start was the lost boy.

"Ranma... with everything we've been through, I always thought things would never change and we'd end up destroying each other on our quests to becoming powerful martial artists." he paused, smiling at her. Then cleared his throat and began once more. "It means so much to me that we became more and took a different path, because I believe if I took that stupid path of just wondering and training, that I'd be alone for the rest of my life and waiting for good things to come. In this case, bracelets took advantage of us and became my good luck to free me from losing myself, and although I've lost a lot to get to this point, I'm glad I found you Ranma. You're my hope, my dreams, my need to fight and my need to look for a better future... even if we struggle, I promise to love you for being the stubborn and fun person you are" he finished.

The minister turned to the redheaded girl, "Ryoga... even though I've messed with you in anyway I could have and tricked you whenever I had the chance, I'd always try to find a way to help you. I tried to find a way to rid you of your curse, because it always had the benefit of me being freed of my curse too. Now I see I don't wanna' lose this curse, it'd be hard for me not to have this curse... I always thought curses were what brought pain in my life, including all the people that were trying to get me to marry them." that caused most of the girls in the yard to look to the side nervously. "Then I realized that maybe these curses were kinda' a blessing in disguise. It turns out one curse managed to stick me with a short tempered and lousy sense of direction sorta' guy... and really, I wouldn't have it any other way." she finished.

The priest turned to Ryoga then Ranma and asked both of them if they agreed, of course they said their "I do's" and the deal was struck.

Once Ryoga pulled the veil back, he stared into those beautiful blue eyes of hers and smiled softly, "Think we can make it... eh, Saotome?"

"Yeah, I know we can." she responded, leaning in and sealing the deal with a kiss. The crowd cheered!

Once they finished kissing, the two turned to everyone and smiled, then that's when the two noticed a familiar pair looking at them. It was Mousse and Shampoo, though Mousse seemed much more different, he wore... dark gray metal framed glasses and he was dressed more like how Ranma preferred to in tighter fitting Chinese clothes. He wore a black sleeveless top with red frogs and belt and black pants. The style was new, but they figured it had something to do with Shampoo wanting a better-dressed man. Also one that didn't have such silly looking glasses.

"Good luck you two!" Mousse cheered, waving one of his hands while the other was wrapped around Shampoo's.

"Ranma have nice time on honeymoon!" Shampoo exclaimed, giggling as she leaned up to kiss her man.

Inside the Tendo Home...

Nabiki had watched the wedding and had gotten back inside; just in case someone uninvited tried to enter the premise. She stood there for a bit, then decided it wasn't worth the time, she could be outside trying to sell things to Ranma and Ryoga. Maybe some herbs that would make sex for Ranma and Ryoga much more interesting? There was something to the whole sex thing, which could win her some easy money. She wasn't about to pass up on that. The moment she was about to exit the home, she heard someone barging in.

"Akane Tendo!" Kuno shouted, running over to the back door with something shiny held safely in his hands. It was the cursed Amulet of Damned Love, he had gotten it from Mousse and Shampoo once their curse had worn off. The price was of course a heavy one, but that didn't matter to him. He'd get his Akane, now that the pigtailed girl was no longer available.

"Stop right there!" Nabiki shouted, holding her hand out, "I'm sorry, Kuno Baby, but you're not allowed to ruin this day no matter how much you want my little sister," she stated, causing the bokken wieldier to back down and glare at her.

"Nonsense, I must get her to accept my love with this amulet!" he exclaimed, holding the cursed thing up to the brown haired middle child.

"What that... isn't that the?" she asked, and then felt something. The amulet began shinning a bright red color and became two once more... this time it had a different target... Nabiki and Kuno.

"T-this cannot be..." Kuno gasped. To think the fates would lead him back to this girl... but this time it actually might be right!

"You've got to be kidding me..." Nabiki sighed, feeling the bracelet take hold. Gritting her teeth as much as she could, she found herself losing the war as those stupid glowing bracelets attached themselves to their wrists. "Oh... Kuno Baby!" she shouted, embracing him.

The blue thunder didn't know what to say, being that he was too shocked to really say anything at all... he had just lost a good chance at dating Akane Tendo and now he was stuck with the greedy middle sister.

From there Ranma and Ryoga turned to each other and then the redheaded girl threw her bouquet into the air. The girls fought over it until the bouquet flew over to Kuno and Nabiki. Since Nabiki had dragged Kuno out of the house, the middle sister raised an eyebrow and held out one of her hands neatly catching the bouquet.

"Wow... looks like we're getting married one day Kuno baby" Nabiki stated.

"I-I-I..." Kuno uttered, not sure he could come up with anything to say.

Ranma and Ryoga stared, then turned back to each other, "Looks like that's another problem dealt with..." Ranma stated.

"Yeah, it sure is." Ryoga replied, and then moved over to the beautiful redheaded girl and picked her up bridal style.

"I love you, Ranma Hibiki."

"I love you too, Ryoga Hibiki."

The two kissed once more, planning on doing much more kissing at the honeymoon training site that included a hot tub.

Flash Forward

Ranma stood beside her husband as they presented their daughter, Hitomi Habiki to the son of Akane and Daisuke. Hitomi was a comely girl of sixteen with long jet-black hair, blue eyes, her father's fang teeth and her mother's hourglass figure. She also had unfortunately inherited her mother's stubbornness and love for martial arts. Ranma had never felt comfortable in women's clothing, so she wore men's Chinese fashions with female underwear beneath it. Ryoga liked that part, a lot, that's why they had four children.

Ranma smiled and exchanged a smile with her former fiancée and friend. Akane had married Daisuke soon after graduating college and becoming a veterinarian. They had moved to the house where Akane ran her practice out of and where Daisuke did his computer programming business at home. Akane wore her long, dark blue hair back in a bun and still had the same smiling eyes. Ranma and Ryoga ran the dojo and it was a thriving business. Kasumi had moved into Dr. Tofu's house and her father had moved in with them soon after Nabiki had left for college. With was good because they had needed all the room they could get for their growing family.

Akane's son Reizo had his mother's hair, his father's height and an impressively honed body from doing martial arts most of his life. He and Hitomi had trained together, their engagement hadn't been sprung upon them as Ranma's and Akane's had been. They had known about it forever and were fine with it. Today was their official engagement party, now that Hitomi had turned sixteen to Reizo's eighteen years.

"Come on Reizo lets go to the dojo and spar" Hitomi pleaded.

"No that dress must have been expensive" Ranma objected, eyeing the silk cheongsam and that had been a sixteenth birthday present from her Aunt Shampoo, Uncle Mousse and her three cousins.

"Mom you never let me have any fun!" she protested and stalked off.

"Besides I could never hit a girl" Reizo called after her. She stuck her tongue at him.

"Looks like you got a tomboy on your hands" Akane observed in amusement.

"Yeah I always kind of liked them," Ranma answered.

"They remind me of ourselves at that age" Akane observed.

"Yep, they take after us" she replied.

"You ever wonder what would have happened if we had gotten married?" Akane asked.

"Sometimes" Ranma replied, and then she caught sight of her husband. Hours of teaching martial arts had made Ryoga's impressive body even more impressive as he had grown and filled out. He smiled at her and she admired his chiseled features and soft, gentle brown eyes. She hadn't liked the bracelets at the time and now she blessed them for giving her a wonderful husband and father. Theirs was a happy marriage, with lots of silly fight...and hot make up sex. Even now after all this time she was still hot for him. "Yes I wonder about it and realize that I wouldn't change a thing," she concluded as she plotted to get her pig man away from all their guests and into bed.

The End.
