Though Ranma didn't know this woman, or even her name, she was instantly more annoying and bitchy than Akane when he first met her. "What's your beef if I am a Saotome?" he jumped up, standing up on the stool so he towered above her, his hands on his hips. When the Tendo Dojo came up, he looked over at Akane, wondering what she thought about all this. "Any business you've got with either the Saotome family or the Tendos, you can take up with me." he pointed to himself with his thumb. He was used to cleaning up messes his father made, and this sounded exactly like one of those situations.<br/><br/>But Ukyo arguing with her about another arranged marriage, and to another woman, that was disturbing. She had no problem loving and marrying Ranma even though he had his female side, he didn't know why it upset her so much about the idea. Or maybe she really did love only him, and would never have eyes for anyone else. He hated having so many girls surrounding him with these feelings, and being forced to choose, it was just impossible. But he couldn't just let someone else have Ukyo either, putting him in a Catch-22. "So, spill it. What kind of trouble did our dads get us into now?" he grumbled, not thinking anyone except his irresponsible father could have caused this sort of problem.
