I may not be alive to marry ."

Hearts clenched .

" Some-times honour demands sacrifice "

Souls grew cold .

" Some-times redeeming lost honour is some -thing which

can only be done post-mortem ."

If even one of those present in either the `friends' or

the `iinazuke' groups drew a breath they were in no condition to

notice .

Ranma turned once more to Ryouga .

" Ryouga , for that which I have done to you , you may

decide that only death is acceptable .

If at the end of the year you decide that this is so I

will kill myself ."

Ranma turned to Kunou.

" Kunou Tatewaki , you may decide that it was

unforgivable that I did not tell you the truth about the `pig-tailed

girl' sooner .

While it is true that I tried more than once the

shame that I felt then over my curse made me feel uncomfortable about

the issue and you may decide that I did not try hard enough .

If at the end of the year when I return you determine

that only my death will redeem your honour then I will kill myself ."

Ranma turned to MuTsu .

" MuTsu , I have been an obstacle in your pursuit of

XianPu and further you believe that what I have done to the woman

that you love is unacceptable , delaying her , keeping her from her

home , constantly delaying her return to the village that you both

call home .

If when I return at the end of the year you decide

that I should die for such affronts , then so be it ."

Ranma turned to Akari .

" Akari of all in this room you may have the least reason

to hate me but you do have reason .

If at the end of the year you decide that what I have

done to the man that you love constitute crimes that are punishable

by death than I will die ."

Ranma turned to Kasumi .

" Kasumi , you are the closest thing that I ever had to a

big sister and a mother and in other realities you became an even

more loving wife of that Ranma .

You are the most loving , selfless individual that I

have ever known and I wish that I had known you even longer , and

more I apologize for taking advantage of that generosity so often .

Yet I have hit you in the places that are most

important to you ; home and family .

I still even now believe that these are things which

had to be said but you may not agree .

If at the end of the year you decide that I should die

for what I have said and done this day then I will accept that

judgment ."

Ranma turned to Nabiki .

" Nabiki , you have made yourself into the consummate

business-woman .

All-business , strictly business .

But this is not entirely true , for your family is

the one thing that is more important to you than money .

No amount of money is more precious to you than

family .

You use money to gain control over your life and to

support your family .

You can be very protective of your family indeed .

And in that spirit you may decide that I have harmed your

family unforgivably .

If that is the case then at the year of the year I will

seek atonement for these sins in death ."

Ranma turned to Ukyou .

" Ukyou , you are dear to me in ways that I can not even

describe .

I could never count the number of nights that I wished

that you were with me after Genma separated us .

But I have repeatedly done so much harm to you .

" You may not decide that what I have done to you is

forgivable .

If such is the case then at the end of the year you

will have but to let me know and I will make final amends to

you ."

Ranma turned to XianPu .

" XianPu , you are a proud warrior , and for all that I

believe that the ways and customs of Nihon are out-dated and in need

of re-thinking I like-wise believe that the ways and customs of your

tribe are severely out-dated as well and have no place in this age .

You may consider this to be an unforgivable insult and

now that you will be free of your obligation to marry me you may as

well decide that these insults are unforgivable .

If so , then at the end of the year you will have to but

state this and I will be no more ."

Ranma turned to Kodachi .

" I am sorry , Kodachi that I could not give you an

unqualified answer that you wished and even as your brother you have

the right to declare that my failure to notify you more forcefully

and clearly of my nature and my magical condition was unforgivable .

If this is indeed the case then I will die if that is

what it takes to appease you ."

Ranma turned to Akane .

" Akane , the day that we first met I was alone and

tired and scared of a curse that gave me a new body that I was not

used to and did not understand .

I had not had a friend in years and I had never had

an abundance of friends .

In fact apart from my cousins there were only Hiwa ,

Ami , and Ukyou .

So when you took that scared awkward girl and tried

to be her friend it meant so much to me that I can not find the words

to say it .

I should have been stronger .

I should have told you the truth about me .

…. But I just needed a friend right then so very

much .

You certainly had no reason to accept any boy as a

friend and certainly not as a fiancee , not with the way that all of

those boys at school were harassing you .

…so when you did find out the truth you took it as a

betrayal , and to an extent that has coloured our relationship ever

since .

I have always been the boy who got past your defenses ,

got you to trust me , and then betrayed that trust .

If at the end of the year you can not find it in your

heart to forgive me for that betrayal , I will accept that and try

to make final amends ."

Ranma straightened even further , drew yet an-other

deep , heavy breath and addressed both groups .

" While some of you may have strong feelings on this

issue I have not seen any other way to settle the matter .

That in mind I wanted to make certain that there

will be absolutely no way that any of you could influence or pressure

any of the others into changing their votes against their true

intentions .

If even one of you decides against me I will die .

I have already decided on the method of ballot-

casting to be used and it will be absolutely impossible to cheat or

identify the decision of any of the others involved .

In addition there is the possibility that one of

you may decide in favour of my death and the others could try

to `remove' that person from contention .

As this is not acceptable I will make unfeasible .

If even one of you , any one of you dies before my

return then I will accept that your answer is not in my favour ."

Ranma then walked over to where KhuLon sat .

" I imagine that you have been eavesdropping on my

conversation with the others .

I have seen a world where-in you were so

embittered by the betrayal of happousai that when you learned that he

had had students you sought them out and found one of them and you

used a death-squad from your village to take out your feelings for

happousai's betrayal by killing his student Soun and his wife in

the most vicious most horrible manner that you could think of .

And even that was not enough to sate the evil in your soul .

So you also abducted Soun's daughters , took them to your

village against their will , and began to systematically torment and

torture them .

Little girls who had never done you harm , who in fact never

even knew of you before you made them watch as you tortured their

parents to death .

You took great delight in your sadistic pastimes .

You took many long years .

Kasumi and Nabiki were scarred and crippled inside and out .

But you saved the worst for the youngest .

You turned little Akane into your private enforcer , Ko-

Em .

And you were even more effective then you imagined .

Ko-Em was cold , heartless , ruthless , an efficient

killing machine that even you and XianPu became uneasy around .

And it is not as if that was the worst that I ever saw

you do .

Time and time again ,

world after world ,

I saw you kill with-out honour ,

, with-out pity ,

with-out any humanity of any kind behind your eyes .

So I know that after I have deprived you of the prize that

you sought to possess you are fully capable of killing in cold-

blood , with-out hesitation or moral qualms .

Given that I have had to take the measures that I have

in order to insure that the other two groups do not kill each other ,

I fully realize that you could conceivably kill one of them to make

me kill myself in order to get your revenge .

Even if that one were your own great-grand-daughter .

This is not acceptable .

Therefor I must make it unnecessary .

While I do not feel that I owe this to you , in order to

safe-guard my family and friends I will give you a ballot to cast

against me as well .

You will have the power to anonymously call for my life to

be no more as well ."

Ranma turned slightly and caught Genma , Nodoka , and Soun

in a single glance .

" Much like KhuLon none of you have right to call for my

end but I have seen you capable of abominable acts when your wishes

are denied you .

I have seen in worlds when you were far more petty than

any small child and each of you sought to end lives that you had no

rightful claim to .

There-for I will like-wise grant each of you a chance to

cast my death-ballet ."

Ranma now once more addressed the entire room .

" Every-one of you in these three groups will have the

opportunity to end my life with-out ever an-other soul knowing .

It will be by my own hand so you need not ever fear legal

repercussions .

I suppose that it is possible ,

however unlikely that may be ,

that none of you will seek to call on me to commit

sepuku .

I may yet die regardless .

No ... I will almost certainly die regardless .

There are matters in my past that none of you know of .

Some of them are not even Genma's fault nor even are they

of his knowledge .

There are thirty-seven others who have the right to call

on me to commit sepuku .

I will meet with them before I return to Nerima and I will

gather their ballets as well .

So you see I may return only to say a final fare-well

regardless .

I hope that this will motivate each of you to devote

yourselves to solving your problems and not letting them consume your

lives ."

Ranma produced a pair of gloves and put them on , then he

took out a jar of some-thing that his captive audience could only

guess at ; with one exception , Kodachi , who recognized it

immediately .

Ranma walked over to where KhuLon sat , dipped his gloved hand

into the jar coming out with a gel that he then smeared on her skin .

" KhuLon , one of the worlds that I have seen involved you

exiling XianPu for some imagined slight and she became the pupil of

that worlds Ranma .

Although he was her own age he taught her about honour in

ways that she never learned in her village .

She and the Ukyou and Ranma of that world became an unlikely

trio of friends .

The two even saved that Ranma's life by playing his honour

against itself .

Before I go I would leave you with this ;

your tribe may speak of honour but does it truly have

any honour ?

Or does it merely have arrogance and pride , and false

pride at that ."

With that Ranma began to rub the gel on Khulon's exposed

skin .

That done Ranma walked over to where Genma sat .

" I truly hope that some day you will come to understand

the full scope of your actions .

…even if I find it unlikely . "

With that Ranma rubbed the gel on Genma's exposed skin .

Ranma stepped over to Nodoka .

He paused , seemingly uncertain how to say what-ever it was

that he obviously wanted to say .

Finally he said , " `mother' …

…Only you can decide

whether or not I should ever call you that again ."

With that Ranma rubbed the gel on Nodoka's exposed skin .

" I imagine that you are not as eager to have me marry any

of your daughters now ."

With that Ranma rubbed the gel on Soun's exposed skin .

Ranma stood back for a moment and then began to remove the

gloves that he wore , being careful to avoid getting any of the gel

on his own skin .

Ranma turned and addressed those in the `iinazuke' and `

friends' groups .

" I have given the parental figures a compound that will

make them sleep for about three days …" he said. " I thought that it

would be advantageous if each of you had the opportunity to read the

envelopes I left each of you with-out their hovering interference .

This way you will have the opportunity to think for

yourselves instead of their telling you what you should think ."

Ranma went over to the table where the weapons were and

with-drew one of Ukyou's razor-sharp smaller spatulas from its

sheath and walked over to Ryouga . As he ( Ranma ) began to cut a

small lock of Ryouga's hair he spoke .

" I would like to take a small part of each of you with me

to keep me company in my journey . After thinking about it for a long

time I finally thought about how I could do that ; I could take a

lock of hair from each of you and together they would not take up

much space ; in fact all of them together could still be worn as a

talisman ."

Ranma moved on to Akari ,and MuTsu as he spoke .

When he got to Kunou however he did not cut a strand but

spoke ; " Kunou and Kodachi presented a bit of a problem in that what

with their father's manias approaching them while they were paralyzed

with a sharp implement , especially with the intent to cut their

hair , might cause psychological trauma so I secretly got hairs from

each of you before today ."

Ranma worked his way around to each of the iinazuke in

turn .

After he finished Ranma walked away and those present could

see that each of the locks of hair was neatly tied by a coloured

ribbon that had some manner of writing on it , presumably the names

of each person that the hair had come from . Ranma took all of these

and tied them together around Ukyou's small spatula with one of

Ryouga's bandannas .

While it did seem that he took some other things from the

table as well , none of the others could tell what they were .

" hmm … you know I had not thought about before but in a

way this is like the reverse of what those pilots did in the war .

They left behind their fingernail clippings so that their

families would have some-thing to bury if they did not return ."

Ranma continued as he began to put on an-other pair of gloves. "

where-as I am taking a little piece of each of you with me ."

Ranma produced a new jar of cream which he openned and

began to rub the contents on Akari's exposed skin .

" Not to worry Akari this will just act as a counter-agent

to the paralysis agent ."

Akari was much relieved to hear that even if she was not

in a position to show it , then she noticed with some confusion that

Ranma resealed the jar and placed it underneath the chair that she

was sitting on .

" I can not very well simply leave all of you to wait for

the paralysis agent to wear off on its own , that will take several

hours and every-one of you has enemies outside of this room , so I

have given Akari the antidote so that she can give each of you the

antidote in turn once I am gone .

She is about the only person present that I feel that I can

trust with such a job as all of the rest of you would either try to

dissuade me from going or would try to pick a fight with me or both

and I can not allow that .

XianPu , as you may have guessed by now I never really

needed to learn that technique , I had already learned it in my

travels , rather that was a subterfuge to get KhuLon to teach you the

technique and the counter-techniques after I left that day as I am

certain that she did .

I am curious about how much convincing it took you to get

her to teach you them or if she taught them to you after I left

before you even had the chance to ask ?

Oh well , I suppose that I will have to wait until next

year to find out ,

… if you are even speaking to me then .

Any-way I did that so that you could release Kodachi

after Akari frees you .

Akari , I am going to go get my things , if you can

move before I come back then please wait for me before you administer

to any of them , please ."

Ranma walked out of the room and the people who were

still conscious found themselves in the uncomfortable position of

having no-thing to do but think .

*** *** ***

Ranma returned perhaps ten minutes later just as Akari

was beginning to regain feeling in her extremities . Of course the

feeling was one uncomfortably similar to having one's foot fall

asleep spread all over her body but it was still better than the

limbo-absence-of-feeling that she had felt under the influence of the

paralyzing gas from the candles .

" ah , good , I see that you seem to be well on your way

to recovering from the gas . " Ranma said to her .

How did he know that just by looking at her ? Did the

circulation change the colour of her skin ?

" Well , I suppose that I had best be leaving ; I am on a

tight schedule after all and I do not want to remain in the area long

enough for the candle gas to wear off on its own and some-one might

do some-thing foolish .

An-other twenty minutes and I will be very far away from

here and it will be to late for any of them to chase me for whatever

reason ."

Ranma turned away and began to walk out the door when he

paused , then after a moment of indecision he spoke with-out turning

around .

" Nabiki .

I will try to make it back in one year…

… but the way things happen both to me and around

me , that … may not happen … it will be dangerous where I am going .

so you might have to give me a few extra weeks just in

case …

but if I am not back by one year two months from today …

run an obituary in the Kyoto newspapers and have me

declared legally dead ."

Ranma paused to take the video-tapes out of the machines

that had been recording the entire time , then , with-out turning to

face the others in the Dojo , he walked out the door .

*** *** ***

Akari's heart raced , fear pounded in her ears , she

realized that she was hyper-ventilating but rather than trying to

calm herself as soon as she realized this she intentionally

accelerated her breathing even faster .

Asleep nerves screamed in protest as she fought to shake

off the paralysis faster .

She had seen the various people in this Dojo perform

feats that even many Olympic athletes would have said to be

impossible , ~` please ,Kami-sama , let me do this `~

Slowly one fire-consumed foot extended in front of her .

She gabbed a chair with a hand that had the skin scraped

off of it with a potato-peeler and salt pored over it ( who was

sitting in the chair ? MuTsu ? Kunou ? she did not know , she did not

care , as long as they were heavy enough that it did not tip over as

she levered her weight ) .

As a hundred bees were stinging her second leg from the

inside she knew that she would not hurt if she quit fighting it and

just sat back and let the antidote finish working its way through her

system .

She put her first leg in front of her again .

*** *** ***

Ranma was at the gate just standing , remembering all the

things that had happened here since he first showed up on the Tendou

sisters doorstep that rainy afternoon , when he was shaken from his

reverie by a sound of shambling .

" ran-ma , d' nt goo yt"

Ranma walked over to the shaky figure , " You are going to hurt

yourself if you do not sit down ." he admonished gently as he

scooped Akari up and set her down off of her unsteady feet .

" you can not go " Akari said weakly , having to concentrate

on speaking coherently .

" I have no choice ." Ranma said with a simple sadness that

Akari knew she would not be able to shake .

Maybe Kasumi or Ukyou would have been able to dissuade him

or possibly Akane but she knew that she could not .

That was why he had picked her after all .

" where will you go ?"

Ranma just stood up and began to walk away , his usual lithe

gate absent as though he had thirty kilogram weights in each shoe .

" Please wait an hour after I am gone before you give the

others the antidote .

You would probably do well to free Ryouga first , he can

make sure that they all respect the contents of the others folders .

After they each read them they can decide whether or not to

share the messages in them with the others ."

The thirty kilo weights had clearly grown as he went

through the thresh-hold to at least a hundred each .

Akari watched through her tears and even though it was bare-

ly noon she would swear there-after that she watched Ranma walking in

to the sunset in the best tradition of the most tragic dramas .

The Difference Between Destiny and Fate : Grabbing Hold : Authors

Afterward :

To those of you who have read this story all of the way

through ( both of you ) I thank you for your patience .

If you read it and actually liked it then thank you

indeed ; please do not read the later installments in the DBDF

continuum .

Why would I ask that ?

Because originally this was intended as a one-shot story but

I have a tendency to continuously ask the question "what happened

next?" .

So I wrote another story that was a follow- up to "Grabbing

Hold" called " An Afternoon of Reading and Contemplation " that

followed the Wrecking Crew as they read their letters from Ranma .

Then I wrote another story …

… and it just snow-balled from there .

Actually it is strange because I seldom like sequels myself ,

to often I see a movie and then a year later not one but two sequels

come out , both of which are absolute stink-bombs . ( If or maybe I

should say when Disney comes out with a sequel to Hercules { which

was bad to begin with } , I will scream )

This is why I would ask any reader who liked this story not to

read any more in the DBDF Continuum .

I would rather leave you liking one story than have you

disappointed with a series .

To any of you who did not like this story , you I ask to try the

rest of the series ; you may find some-thing that you do like in

later stories .

If you are looking for a touching WAFFy story try DBDF : `

First Born , Second Time '

If you like dark , dark fics ( what kind of sicko are you ? )

then I direct you to the installment of DBDF entitled : " HORROR"

( oh , wait a moment , I am the one who wrote this story ,

mm , okay never mind , I guess that says it all about which of us has

a sick twisted mind )

If you think that I can not write comedy , well , you might be

right but I still would direct you to DBDF : " GLWURK!!"

For fans of wrenching drama find the story DBDF : " Apocalypse

of the Soul" ( but not until you read the rest of the Tenchi and

company story -arc first ; spoiler warning )

For the masochists , er , um , I mean , faithful readers willing

to stick through it all here is the breakdown :

DBDF-BE-01 : " Grabbing Hold " : This is where it all

starts .

What would happen if Ranma decided it was time to grow

up ?

DBDF-CS : " Spreading the Word " : In the wake of "DBDF :

Grabbing Hold" Ranma tries to convince his cousins and friends to

take measures to prevent their lives from reaching the point that his

did .

DBDF-CA-01 : ` Laying Down the Law' : This begins the

Tenchi and company story-arc " Chronicle of an Apocalypse" .

DBDF-CA-02 : `Interviews' : Tenchi takes the time to have

some serious talks with various cast members .

( small note : MnE / D of D happens some-where in this area ;

the main divergence s from the anime are that Tenchi is `cooler' to

his grand-father than in the main time-line ; it should be noted that

Tenchi was very emotional distant to every-one but meeting a strange

little girl who calls him "Daddy" [or "Papa" in the original Nihongo

version] is enough to shake even him from his morbidity )

DBDF-CA-10 : "The Eye of the Beast" - Mihoshi and the

others learn of some of the secrets about her that even she did not

know herself .

DBDF-CA-15 : ` First Born , Second Time' : The aftermath of

MnE/D of D

DBDF-CA-20 : ` First Day of School' : First Ryouko then Aeka

decide to join Tenchi in school .

DBDF-CA-25 : ` A Great Contribution to Galactic

Civilization ' : Earth may be more Important in the galaxy than you

realize .

DBDF-CA-35 : `HORROR' : Warning , key developments but not for

the squeamish .

DBDF-CA-40 : ( as yet untitled ) : In the aftermath of the

HORROR , Usagi tries to talk to Tenchi but instead they meet some new

friends .

DBDF-CA-50 : ( as yet untitled ; an exert from Usagi's diary )

DBDF-CA-55 : ( as yet untitled ; an excerpt from Washyuu's

journals )

DBDF-CA-60 : "Remembering the Pinocchio Age " : Several

months in brief from the viewpoint of … Tenchi's sister ?!

DBDF-CA-61 : ( as yet untitled ; Usagi's diary )

DBDF-CA-62 : ( as yet untitled ; an excerpt from Washyuu's

journals )

DBDF-CA-63 : " Meet the Family" : A semi-Nobuyuki centered fic

that follows up on a few threads …and lays a few down .

DBDF-CA-65 : " Gathering Forces " : Tenchi brings in some new

recruits .

The question is ,

what is he recruiting them for ?

DBDF-CA-70 : `Urk!' : Do not ask!

DBDF-CA-75 : " The Return of the Revenge of the Ghost of

the Curse of Jinja-Man" : If you know who Jinja-Man is then you

definitely want to avoid this story at all costs !

Not for the ticklish !

A direct sequel to DBDF: `Urk!'

DBDF-CA-80 : " Soul of Darkness " : Short Dark fic that

begins building the elements for what is to come .

DBDF-CA-85 : " The Day Jurai Soiled Its Robes " : Truth in

Advertising Alert !

DBDF-CA-90 : " Redemption by Increments " : What could

possibly be bigger than what Tenchi did in `DBDF : The Day Jurai

Soiled Its Robes' ?

Find out here !

DBDF-CA-92 : " In-Laws In-Law " : Who was that mystery

woman in ` Redemption by Increments' ?

DBDF-BE-02 : " Is This Home ?" : Ranma returns after " A

Very Long Year " ; the question is did he return just to kill

himself ? Who made what decisions ? A major key - point in the DBDF

Universe !

DBDF-CA-94 : " Apocalypse of the Soul " : The

entire `Chronicle of an Apocalypse' saga culminates in this

installment !

It all comes to a head here !

Be Warned !

DBDF-CA-98 : " What ever happened to Jurai Any-way ?" :

Just a little follow-up piece to DBDF : "The Day Jurai Soiled Its

Robes"

--

After all of this , if the purists do not assassinate me for

heresy for what I did to the cast of Tenchi , I plan to go back and

cover the same year from the viewpoint of the cast of BSSM and clear

up a few mysteries .

( How is it that Hotaru came to live with the Tsukino family ?

Where did Trakal-Oh-Ki and Mano Haruka come from ?

Who ?…

What ?…

When ? …

Why ? … )

Then after the BSSM story-arc I had thought of a third story-

arc covering the Nerima WreckingCrew during " A Very Long Year " ,

including the afore mentioned " An Afternoon of Reading and

Contemplation " .

Then of course there is the matter of what Ranma himself did

during ` that year' and yes I do know what he did and why and where

and all of that stuff .

Then roughly seventeen years later the DBDF world

experiences `Third Impact' in

DBDF : " Burn the Old Scrolls …

… Write New Ones "

…. And its companion piece

DBDF : " History in a Dream "

Oh who am I kidding ?

Some-body will kick me off the Internet long before I finish the

full panorama that is DBDF .

Oh well ….

Masochists welcome !

P.S. : Contest Alert ! I still need titles for several stories (as

seen above)

Special notice ! I was at a convention

recently and learned that there were pilots for both a US cartoon and

a live action version of SailorMoon .

If any-one has either of these or has information

about them ( the names of the actors , et cetera ) please contact

me !

P.S. III : HELP ! I need help to find out the names of

Sakuya's schoolmates from the entire ` Tenchi in Tokyo ' series. It

is very important for later in the DBDF series .
