Revelation
During the Meiji Era
The Tendos', the Amazons, and Ukyou look on as the
scene played out before them.
"Mom," said a _very_ worried Ranma, "Mom, it's ok
you're gonna make it, just hold on till Dr. Tofu gets her,"
then whispered to his mother, "Please."
Nodoka smiled at her son, her pride and joy, "My
time has come Ranma, I know it has," she said in a soft voice.
She knew that she was going to die soon and intended to
make peace with her son before she went. "Ranma, I'm sorry
for everything Genma put you through, so sorry," she
whispered to her son.
"Mom don't talk like that, rest, please just rest and
wait until doctor Tofu gets here." Ranma said, trying to
reassure his mother.
Nodoka just smiled at her son. Oh how naive her son
was and he had grown up manly too just like his father. "My
son before I go, I have something to tell you," she said in a
urgent voice.
"Mom I told you too rest."
"Hush Ranma , I don't have that much time left so I
have to say this while I have breath in me," Nodoka said
trying to silence her son.
"Mom, I'm sure whatever it is, it can wait till you get
better," Ranma said in an effort to get his mother to rest.
"No my son, this is very important, I've debated with
myself whether I should tell you, but seeing as how your are
miserable mostly here I have to tell you," Nodoka said with
regret in her voice. She had hoped that her son would get
married to Akane but it didn't look like that anymore.
"My son, I have seen in these past few months how
Genma has use your honor against you your entire life," she
said with an edge in her voice that made Genma squirm. "I've
seen how Akane repeatedly hits you over and over again for
petty reasons."
"I've seen how Nabiki uses you to make money in a
degrading fashion by selling portraits of your females side to
that boy, Kuno," Nodoka explained looking at Nabiki,
making her feel uneasy. "I know that you have to support
your family but you could have ask my son permission first."
"I've seen how, thanks to my idiot bumbling husband,
you ended up engaged to your best friend and who will only
remain your best friend in your eyes." Nodoka said this time
leveling her stare at Ukyou.
Ukyou blush under Nodoka stare then to glare
venomously at Genma.
"I saw how the Chinese Amazons drugged you
repeated trying to get to leave with them for their tribe," she
said as she looked at the Amazons' in the room, paused to
muse over something, "and once again you have my husband
to thank for it."
Genma was now receiving glares from everyone in
the room and started to sweat. Soun seeing this came to his
friend defense. "Now, now Nodoka, aren't you being too hard
on your husband, after all he did make Ranma into the man
among man like you always wanted."
"I saw a father who paid little attention to his children
and who's basically useless at everything else," she
commented as she looked at Soun, "One who said that he
thinks for the good of his children, but in reality is trying to
escape the responsibility he has in raising them." Nodoka
words rung true and shamed Soun into tears, real tears of
remorse this time.
"I saw how various people tried to kill my son for no
reason at all," she said this time leveling her look on Akane
pet pig in her arms, the pig squirmed under the gaze. "Who
should have blame Genma instead of Ranma."
"My son, I am so, so very sorry for letting Genma do
that too you," she said in a soft voice. "For letting him teach
you the Neko-ken that cost you your sanity, for getting you
engaged multiple times and for making you live in constant
fear of me when Genma told you about the seppuku
contract." Nodoka explained with tears in her eyes.
"It was ok, Mom, everything's fine," Ranma said with
actual tears in his eyes, " It wasn't your fault, it was never
your fault," he whispered to her while holding her hand.
"That's why I will relieve you of the burden the
Saotome name put on you," Nodoka said, much to the shock
of her audience.
"Mom you're not feeling well, you don't know what
your talking about," Ranma said now worried for his mother
sanity.
"No my son, I'm not crazy," Nodoka said with a small
smile, as she read what her son was thinking by looking him
in the eyes.
"Doctor Tofu is here." Kasumi announced in a
cheerful voice.
Ranma jumped up immediately and ran toward the
doctor. "Doc thank god you're here! Follow me. My mother is
this way." Ranma exclaimed, while practically dragging the
good Doctor to his mother side.
"Hold on Doctor before I die, I must reveal the truth
to my son," she told Tofu, as he was about to put her to sleep
with a pressure point strike to treat her.
"Saotome-san , you'll be fine, you just go-."
"No I have to say this to them now or else I might not
get another chance." Doctor Tofu seeing her face decided to
give her time to say what she wanted to say.
"Go ahead Saotome-san." He said letting her say her
piece to treat her easier.
"Ranma what I tell you will affect you in more ways
then one," she whispered to her son then turn her head to face
her audience. "As you all know , Ranma is obligate to fulfill
all agreements made by the Saotome because he is a
Saotome," she explained as she looked around. Everyone
nodded their heads, as they knew the reason why he stayed
with them after all the abuse they gave him.
"Everything that Ranma went through was all for the
Saotome honor, was it not?" she asked Genma, to which he
nodded his head nervously.
"Well I hear by renounce all claims held by everyone
had on Ranma." She said.
There was a moment of silence before the room
exploded.
"You can't!" Genma all but screamed, "He has to
fulfill the agreement or else the Saotome honor will be
worthless."
"Ranchan has to marry me because he took my dowry,
the Saotome staked their very honors on it."
And many arguments like that were voiced around the
room but Nodoka just looked on amused by all their antics.
"So you're telling me that Ranma has to fulfill your
debt because he is a Saotome?" asked Nodoka.
"YES!" was everyone replied except for Ranma, who
just stood there looking confuse as only he can.
"Did you know that I married Genma out of honor?"
asked Nodoka. "During the end of the dynasty war our clan
decided to married their children so they could strengthen
their alliance with each other. Did you know that?" she asked
again. Nobody in the room answer.
"I wasn't happy with it you know, but in the end I
learned to love him." she explained softly. "But before that I
was very much in love with someone else."
Genma was shocked to hear this. He didn't remember
Nodoka being courted by anyone.
"He was part of the revolution too, he and I were very
much in love but his passion to bring peace to Japan was
greater." Everyone was now hanging on Nodoka words.
Nodoka didn't notice it because she had a distance look in her
eyes, almost like she could see something.
"We were very much in love, he and I were only 14
then, almost reaching 15. He was living under his master and
everyday I would come out to watch him train or see him try
a deadly technique. Or so he said," Nodoka told them, but at
the last part she smiled as if she remembered something
funny.
"He was as stubborn as Ranma when it came to
training. He would hurt himself over and over again just to
show his master that he could learn the move his master
taught him," she said smiling widely. "But then the war got
worse and he said he wanted to leave and make a difference
in the world. So then, because of the war getting worse, my
clan decided to join with another strong clan to protect each
other and stay neutral during the war." Nodoka frowned at the
memory of the war.
"To cement the union I was to wed their oldest son,
Genma," she continued, "So two weeks before I was to wed
Genma , me and Shinta shared a single night of passion
before he left, just to give him something to remember me
by." She blushed at the memory.
The audiences jaws dropped, including Ranma's.
"What? Nodoka how could you?" Genma asked.
"Like I said, I was very much in love with him, and
you didn't leave a good of an impression on me either." She
told him plainly.
"Now be quiet and let me finish." And everyone went
silent, "So I found out I was pregnant with Ranma on the day
of my wedding," she told them, Genma completely shocked
now.
"But how? I mean it was night and ten month after
our wedding that you gave birth to Ranma."
"Ranma was late husband, that's why you didn't
suspect a thing." she explained to Genma.
"So you see everyone, Ranma is not a Saotome, he's a
Himura, and so all engagements and debts to the Saotome
name will be held accounted for by Genma," Nodoka finished calmly.
There was a collective jaw drop.
Nodoka didn't wait for them to recover as she looked
at Ranma and beaconed him to her side, "Ranma you are now
free of all Saotome debt, go and find your father. He does not
know about you. He deserves that if nothing else." she said
with regret in her voice.
"This is my last duty to you as your mother before I
leave this world, farewell my son." And with that Nodoka
closed her eyes. And kept them closed for a minutes until she
opened them again when Doctor Tofu nudged her. "Yes
doctor?" she asked serenely, knowing that she about to die
accepting her fate and prepared to move on.
"Saotome-san…" Doctor Tofu started off sounding a
bit uncomfortable, "You're not going to die anytime soon."
"Do not joke with me doctor. I know the symptoms of
a dying person. I saw enough of it during the revolution and I
have them all," she answered back in her serene voice again.
"Saotome-san, I am a doctor and although you do
have the symptoms your not going to die," He explained to
her "You see, it was just Akane's food that upset your body
like it did," he clarified to her, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"So it was Akane food after all?" she ask Dr. Tofu
again. He just nodded. "My God, and my poor son had to eat
that all the time?" she asked Dr. Tofu. He nodded again.
"MY SON!" she cried out and started to hug Ranma
tightly, no mean feat for a women who just ate Akane's
cooking awhile ago then started crying on Ranma's shoulder.
"I came so close to losing you to Akane's cooking." Although
she didn't meant it as an insult, Akane took it that way.
"HEY! IT WASN'T THAT BAD, OK?!" she try to
yelled at Nodoka but she wasn't listening.
"MY SON!"
"M-mom, is it true?" he asked her, when he saw her
confuse look, he try to clarify it for her, "You know mom,
bout me not being a Saotome but a Himura."
"OH MY!" Nodoka said while blushing profusely, she
thought she was going to die. That was why she spilled the
beans but now that she wasn't she was embarrassed beyond
belief "Well yes," she admitted in a small voice this time.
"Oh." Was all Ranma managed to get out.
"I knew a guy like Genma couldn't father a boy like
Ranma," Happosai stated, who had just appeared out of
nowhere.
"Master!" Genma exclaimed in indignation.
"Wait a minute! Does this mean that all the promises
Genma made are now solely on him?" Ukyou asked.
Nodoka nodded. "Ranma is not Genma son, so he is
therefore not honor bound to uphold what the Saotome line
did." she told Ukyou. "No engagement is valid including the
Tendos'" In response to that, Ryouga and others rejoiced,
Akane felt very sad but she knew that Ranma love her so he
would going to go through with the marriage willingly.
"Ranma , you must uphold the Saotome honor by
marrying Akane," Genma shouted.
"Ranchan you're suppose to marry me, your cute
fiancée remember?" Ukyou said with a hurt look.
"No!" Shampoo shouted, "Airen marry Shampoo,
then have many, many strong children."
Everyone the looked at Akane as she was about to say
something.
"Ranma, I - I love you, now that your family honor is
out of the way you can marry me of your own free will."
Akane said in a soft voice, much to the groups shock. They
never would've thought they'd hear Akane admit it.
"Finally," Kasumi thought to herself.
"Wayda go Akane," Nabiki thought happy that her
sister admit it.
"Now son, you see that," Soun started, "Akane
accepts you, now you don't really need to do it for Saotome
honor." Soun announced happily, who was convinced that
Ranma was going to marry his daughter.
"No! Airen marry Shampoo!"
"No way, he's mine sugar!"
"Ranma, I'll make a good wife, you'll see." Akane said
with an embarrassed look. Once more everybody looked at
her in shock, who would have thought Akane'd admit it.
"ENOUGH!" Ranma yelled, "WHAT DO YOU
PEOPLE THINK I AM?" he screamed in rage. "JUST A
PIECE OF MEAT TO BE FOUGHT OVER?!"
"Ranma, you jerk! How dare you yelled at us!" Akane
shouted as she pulled out her mallet and prepared to hit him
with it until he destroyed it with the breaking point technique.
"What? Since when can son-in-law do that?" asked
Cologne to no one in particular.
"I am outta here." he said as he turned to jump out but
just before he left, he grabbed his mother.
"Come back here Ranma!" Akane yelled. She was
confessing her feeling to him and he just left like that!
A good distance away.
"Ranma we're far away now." Nodoka reminded her
son gently. She felt Ranma stop and place her on her feet.
"Mom," he said in a soft voice.
"Yes, dear?"
"What was my real father like?" Ranma asked, he
always felt that something was missing from his fa- Genma,
he had to remember that now. He was no longer a Saotome.
"He was the most honorable, bravest and kindest man
I ever met," she told him. "No one could match his skill in
fighting and he was also very handsome," She explained as
she remember what he looked like. "And he also has the same
hair color as your female side."
"He did?" Ranma asked interested now, he didn't
meet a lot of Japanese citizens' hat had red hair like his
female form. He continued to listen to his mother as she
continued to tell him about his father and found himself
wanting to meet the man.
There was a moment of silence as Ranma
contemplated what to do. On one hand he wanted to find out
who is father was, what he was like and all that other stuff,
on the other he didn't want to quit being a Saotome.
"Ranma, what are you planning to do?" his mother
asked concerned for his well being. "Your not mad at me are
you?"
Ranma smiled. "No mom, I can never be mad at you,"
he said sincerely, "You're my mother and always will be a
good one in my heart." Ranma then looked off into the
distance, "Mom, I know what I have to do now."
"Oh, my son, this can't be easy for you." she said
sadly.
"No, not really but necessary." And with that took his
mother in his arms and jumped back to the Tendo dojo.
When Ranma got back to the Dojo, he saw everyone
was arguing with one another.
"SILENCE!" he bellowed to the room full of people.
Every one was silent and then Ryouga came out of no where
and started to attack him while everyone else started to talk to
him at once. Without even batting an eye he blocked Ryouga
punch and elbowed Ryouga's arm effectively breaking his
elbow. Ryouga when down in pain, clutching at his broken
elbow. He then looked at the crowd who had heard Ryouga
elbow break, a sound they would never forget. "Like I said,"
he told them "Silence." And then leveled his gaze at them.
None dare talked. This Ranma was dangerous. They only saw
this side of him during his fight with Saffron.
"Thank you, now as I was about to say," he started,
"Thanks to my mothers revelation, I now know that Genma is
not my father." He then smiled. "Since I am no longer a
Saotome, everything that Genma caused you will solely be on
him or other members of the Saotome line. I am sure the
Saotome line had more then one child, so you can bring your
grievances to them not me."
"Ukyou, I only saw you as a friend and ONLY" he
empathize the word, "as a friend, nothing more. My offer of
friendship stills stands." He said as he extended his hand.
Ukyou looked at his hand. How can he not see how
much she loved him. She wanted Ranma to be happy! So
with a cry, she hugged Ranma and kissed him for all she was
worth and then stood back and shook his hand. "Friends
Ranchan, friends." She told him softly. Ranma was a little
stun by her kiss but he recovered fast enough.
He smiled at her,"Ucchan, buddy forever." He then
turned to Akane "Akane, I might have loved you once with
all my heart but you rejected it then, your temper and
tantrums has broken it repeatedly and so I find myself not in
love with you anymore."
"Are-Ran-Ranma, you can't mean that," Akane said
near to tears herself.
"Goodbye Akane, maybe you'll find someone that
won't make you mad so easily.," he said with a bit of regret in
his voice. He then turned to Genma. "Genma, you have been
the worst father anyone could ever have. I pray that you are
more merciful on your real children then you were to me."
Genma just bowed his head in shame. He then went up to his
room, packed everything in least then10 seconds and came
back down. He turned to Genma again, got on his knees and
bowed three times in respect to Genma, "I thank you for
teaching me the Anything Goes style sensei and I wish you
luck with your future students." And then turned to leave
through the front gate.
"Ranma!" Akane said and then lay her own kiss on
him, "Good luck with finding your father."
"How did you?" he asked.
"It seems like the logical choice, take care baka." She
said, and with that turned around and ran for her room.
"Okaasan, I'll be back after I find Otousan." he said
before heading off. The only people that he didn't say bye to
were the amazons, mainly because he couldn't find them. The
moment he started to say good bye they just up and left. He'd
passed the Nekohaten but nobody was there.
5 months later.
It had been five months since he'd began his search
for his father, not realizing what a rare name Himura was.
Everywhere he asked, there wasn't a single Himura around.
"Ky-ot-o, Kyoto," he said as he read the sign out loud,
"Well I guess I can take a break in this city, and then continue
my search later," he thought to himself.
While in the city, he looked around and found that it
was much larger then the average city. According to legend,
this was where the Hitokiri was. He always thought that the
about the fighting rumors in Kyoto were exaggerated but then
he saw the signs of battle. As a martial artist he recognized
the many types of battle marks Ki could leave behind and
from what he saw of the city, there were a lot of strong
fighters gather there.
While looking at a sign of battle he failed to notice
where he was walking and accidentally bumped into a group
of people. Falling down on his butt first, he glanced up in
time to see a man in the red samurai garb also landed on his.
"HEY, watch where you're going punk," he saw a guy
dressed in white say to him. The guy looked pretty strong and
he had his hair cut in a strange way, almost like a chicken.
"You could have hurt Himura-san here," said a girl
wearing a blue outfit, with black hair, a braid running down
the length of her back. "She's pretty cute," he thought before
he mentally slap himself for that comment. He didn't want
anymore girl troubles now.
"It is ok Misao. Sano," the man in the red samurai
garb said. It was then that Ranma noticed that the guy had red
hair and two slash marks on his cheek. He also caught what
the girl had said "HIMURA?!" He thought, "could he be?"
"Sorry there friend but it was an accident, please
forgive them for their outburst," he said in a very polite voice.
"My name is Himura Kenshin, please to meet you," Kenshin
said as he extended his hand to Ranma. He noticed Ranma
visibly slump his shoulder when he said his name.
"The name is Ranma. Please to meet you." Ranma
returned Kenshin handshake a bit sad.
"You seemed disappointed when I introduced myself,
maybe I can help with something." he asked. For some reason
the boy seemed familiar.
Ranma let out a long sigh, "If only you knew someone
named Himura Shinta."
Kenshin eyes widened slightly. No one knew his
original name except for two special people in his life. For
some reason unexplained he had a sinking feeling.
"I know of him, may I ask why you are looking for
him?" Kenshin asked in a neutral voice.
"You do?" Ranma asked excitedly. He saw Kenshin
nodded once. "Finally I found him, can you please tell me
where he is, Himura-san?"
"You still haven't answer my question about why you
want to meet him," Kenshin reminded Ranma politely. He
had a really bad feeling about this.
"Oh gomen," Ranma apologized having forgot about
Kenshin question because of his excitement. "Well it's
because I am his son, Himura Ranma."
"ORO?!"
To be continued.
Author notes:
I just had to get this idea outta my head before I could
continue writing chapter 8 of Warp realties, anyway what I
got plan is definitely a Ranma and Misao hook up fic. I am
not really gonna continue this unless it's popular enough but
if someone wants to continue it, ask me first, but I'd really
like it if you let Ranma and Misao end up together, I am a
proud fan of crossover couples. C +C ALWAYS welcome. Oh
and for those that said Nodoka was too young , remember back in feudal
times they married young. Oh well let see what my next project is maybe a
Onna-Ranma and a Tuxedo mask fic? votes for that any one? i can do it.

leveling her stare at Ukyou.
Ukyou blush under Nodoka stare then to glare

"I saw how the Chinese Amazons drugged you
repeated trying to get to leave with them for their tribe," she
said as she looked at the Amazons' in the room, paused to
muse over something, "and once again you have my husband

Genma was now receiving glares from everyone in

with a pressure point strike to treat her.
"Saotome-san , you'll be fine, you just go-."
"No I have to say this to them now or else I might not

give her time to say what she wanted to say.
"Go ahead Saotome-san." He said letting her say her
piece to treat her easier.
"Ranma what I tell you will affect you in more ways
then one," she whispered to her son then turn her head to face
her audience. "As you all know , Ranma is obligate to fulfill
all agreements made by the Saotome because he is a
Saotome," she explained as she looked around. Everyone
nodded their heads, as they knew the reason why he stayed
with them after all the abuse they gave him.
"Everything that Ranma went through was all for the
Saotome honor, was it not?" she asked Genma, to which he
nodded his head nervously.
"Well I hear by renounce all claims held by everyone
had on Ranma." She said.
There was a moment of silence before the room
exploded.
"You can't!" Genma all but screamed, "He has to
fulfill the agreement or else the Saotome honor will be
worthless."
"Ranchan has to marry me because he took my dowry,
the Saotome staked their very honors on it."
And many arguments like that were voiced around the
room but Nodoka just looked on amused by all their antics.
"So you're telling me that Ranma has to fulfill your
debt because he is a Saotome?" asked Nodoka.
"YES!" was everyone replied except for Ranma, who
just stood there looking confuse as only he can.
"Did you know that I married Genma out of honor?"
asked Nodoka. "During the end of the dynasty war our clan
decided to married their children so they could strengthen
their alliance with each other. Did you know that?" she asked
again. Nobody in the room answer.
"I wasn't happy with it you know, but in the end I
learned to love him." she explained softly. "But before that I
was very much in love with someone else."
Genma was shocked to hear this. He didn't remember
Nodoka being courted by anyone.
"He was part of the revolution too, he and I were very
much in love but his passion to bring peace to Japan was
greater." Everyone was now hanging on Nodoka words.
Nodoka didn't notice it because she had a distance look in her
eyes, almost like she could see something.
"We were very much in love, he and I were only 14
then, almost reaching 15. He was living under his master and
everyday I would come out to watch him train or see him try
a deadly technique. Or so he said," Nodoka told them, but at
the last part she smiled as if she remembered something
funny.
"He was as stubborn as Ranma when it came to
training. He would hurt himself over and over again just to
show his master that he could learn the move his master
taught him," she said smiling widely. "But then the war got
worse and he said he wanted to leave and make a difference
in the world. So then, because of the war getting worse, my
clan decided to join with another strong clan to protect each
other and stay neutral during the war." Nodoka frowned at the
memory of the war.
"To cement the union I was to wed their oldest son,
Genma," she continued, "So two weeks before I was to wed
Genma , me and Shinta shared a single night of passion
before he left, just to give him something to remember me
by." She blushed at the memory.
The audiences jaws dropped, including Ranma's.
"What? Nodoka how could you?" Genma asked.
"Like I said, I was very much in love with him, and
you didn't leave a good of an impression on me either." She
told him plainly.
"Now be quiet and let me finish." And everyone went
silent, "So I found out I was pregnant with Ranma on the day
of my wedding," she told them, Genma completely shocked
now.
"But how? I mean it was night and ten month after
our wedding that you gave birth to Ranma."
"Ranma was late husband, that's why you didn't
suspect a thing." she explained to Genma.
"So you see everyone, Ranma is not a Saotome, he's a
Himura, and so all engagements and debts to the Saotome
name will be held accounted for by Genma," Nodoka finished calmly.
There was a collective jaw drop.
Nodoka didn't wait for them to recover as she looked
at Ranma and beaconed him to her side, "Ranma you are now
free of all Saotome debt, go and find your father. He does not
know about you. He deserves that if nothing else." she said
with regret in her voice.
"This is my last duty to you as your mother before I
leave this world, farewell my son." And with that Nodoka
closed her eyes. And kept them closed for a minutes until she
opened them again when Doctor Tofu nudged her. "Yes
doctor?" she asked serenely, knowing that she about to die
accepting her fate and prepared to move on.
"Saotome-san…" Doctor Tofu started off sounding a
bit uncomfortable, "You're not going to die anytime soon."
"Do not joke with me doctor. I know the symptoms of
a dying person. I saw enough of it during the revolution and I
have them all," she answered back in her serene voice again.
"Saotome-san, I am a doctor and although you do
have the symptoms your not going to die," He explained to
her "You see, it was just Akane's food that upset your body
like it did," he clarified to her, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"So it was Akane food after all?" she ask Dr. Tofu
again. He just nodded. "My God, and my poor son had to eat
that all the time?" she asked Dr. Tofu. He nodded again.
"MY SON!" she cried out and started to hug Ranma
tightly, no mean feat for a women who just ate Akane's
cooking awhile ago then started crying on Ranma's shoulder.
"I came so close to losing you to Akane's cooking." Although
she didn't meant it as an insult, Akane took it that way.
"HEY! IT WASN'T THAT BAD, OK?!" she try to
yelled at Nodoka but she wasn't listening.
"MY SON!"
"M-mom, is it true?" he asked her, when he saw her
confuse look, he try to clarify it for her, "You know mom,
bout me not being a Saotome but a Himura."
"OH MY!" Nodoka said while blushing profusely, she
thought she was going to die. That was why she spilled the
beans but now that she wasn't she was embarrassed beyond
belief "Well yes," she admitted in a small voice this time.
"Oh." Was all Ranma managed to get out.
"I knew a guy like Genma couldn't father a boy like
Ranma," Happosai stated, who had just appeared out of
nowhere.
"Master!" Genma exclaimed in indignation.
"Wait a minute! Does this mean that all the promises
Genma made are now solely on him?" Ukyou asked.
Nodoka nodded. "Ranma is not Genma son, so he is
therefore not honor bound to uphold what the Saotome line
did." she told Ukyou. "No engagement is valid including the
Tendos'" In response to that, Ryouga and others rejoiced,
Akane felt very sad but she knew that Ranma love her so he
would going to go through with the marriage willingly.
"Ranma , you must uphold the Saotome honor by
marrying Akane," Genma shouted.
"Ranchan you're suppose to marry me, your cute
fiancée remember?" Ukyou said with a hurt look.
"No!" Shampoo shouted, "Airen marry Shampoo,
then have many, many strong children."
Everyone the looked at Akane as she was about to say
something.
"Ranma, I - I love you, now that your family honor is
out of the way you can marry me of your own free will."
Akane said in a soft voice, much to the groups shock. They
never would've thought they'd hear Akane admit it.
"Finally," Kasumi thought to herself.
"Wayda go Akane," Nabiki thought happy that her
sister admit it.
"Now son, you see that," Soun started, "Akane
accepts you, now you don't really need to do it for Saotome
honor." Soun announced happily, who was convinced that
Ranma was going to marry his daughter.
"No! Airen marry Shampoo!"
"No way, he's mine sugar!"
"Ranma, I'll make a good wife, you'll see." Akane said
with an embarrassed look. Once more everybody looked at
her in shock, who would have thought Akane'd admit it.
"ENOUGH!" Ranma yelled, "WHAT DO YOU
PEOPLE THINK I AM?" he screamed in rage. "JUST A
PIECE OF MEAT TO BE FOUGHT OVER?!"
"Ranma, you jerk! How dare you yelled at us!" Akane
shouted as she pulled out her mallet and prepared to hit him
with it until he destroyed it with the breaking point technique.
"What? Since when can son-in-law do that?" asked
Cologne to no one in particular.
"I am outta here." he said as he turned to jump out but
just before he left, he grabbed his mother.
"Come back here Ranma!" Akane yelled. She was
confessing her feeling to him and he just left like that!
A good distance away.
"Ranma we're far away now." Nodoka reminded her
son gently. She felt Ranma stop and place her on her feet.
"Mom," he said in a soft voice.
"Yes, dear?"
"What was my real father like?" Ranma asked, he
always felt that something was missing from his fa- Genma,
he had to remember that now. He was no longer a Saotome.
"He was the most honorable, bravest and kindest man
I ever met," she told him. "No one could match his skill in
fighting and he was also very handsome," She explained as
she remember what he looked like. "And he also has the same
hair color as your female side."
"He did?" Ranma asked interested now, he didn't
meet a lot of Japanese citizens' hat had red hair like his
female form. He continued to listen to his mother as she
continued to tell him about his father and found himself
wanting to meet the man.
There was a moment of silence as Ranma
contemplated what to do. On one hand he wanted to find out
who is father was, what he was like and all that other stuff,
on the other he didn't want to quit being a Saotome.
"Ranma, what are you planning to do?" his mother
asked concerned for his well being. "Your not mad at me are
you?"
Ranma smiled. "No mom, I can never be mad at you,"
he said sincerely, "You're my mother and always will be a
good one in my heart." Ranma then looked off into the
distance, "Mom, I know what I have to do now."
"Oh, my son, this can't be easy for you." she said
sadly.
"No, not really but necessary." And with that took his
mother in his arms and jumped back to the Tendo dojo.
When Ranma got back to the Dojo, he saw everyone
was arguing with one another.
"SILENCE!" he bellowed to the room full of people.
Every one was silent and then Ryouga came out of no where
and started to attack him while everyone else started to talk to
him at once. Without even batting an eye he blocked Ryouga
punch and elbowed Ryouga's arm effectively breaking his
elbow. Ryouga when down in pain, clutching at his broken
elbow. He then looked at the crowd who had heard Ryouga
elbow break, a sound they would never forget. "Like I said,"
he told them "Silence." And then leveled his gaze at them.
None dare talked. This Ranma was dangerous. They only saw
this side of him during his fight with Saffron.
"Thank you, now as I was about to say," he started,
"Thanks to my mothers revelation, I now know that Genma is
not my father." He then smiled. "Since I am no longer a
Saotome, everything that Genma caused you will solely be on
him or other members of the Saotome line. I am sure the
Saotome line had more then one child, so you can bring your
grievances to them not me."
"Ukyou, I only saw you as a friend and ONLY" he
empathize the word, "as a friend, nothing more. My offer of
friendship stills stands." He said as he extended his hand.
Ukyou looked at his hand. How can he not see how
much she loved him. She wanted Ranma to be happy! So
with a cry, she hugged Ranma and kissed him for all she was
worth and then stood back and shook his hand. "Friends
Ranchan, friends." She told him softly. Ranma was a little
stun by her kiss but he recovered fast enough.
He smiled at her,"Ucchan, buddy forever." He then
turned to Akane "Akane, I might have loved you once with
all my heart but you rejected it then, your temper and
tantrums has broken it repeatedly and so I find myself not in
love with you anymore."
"Are-Ran-Ranma, you can't mean that," Akane said
near to tears herself.
"Goodbye Akane, maybe you'll find someone that
won't make you mad so easily.," he said with a bit of regret in
his voice. He then turned to Genma. "Genma, you have been
the worst father anyone could ever have. I pray that you are
more merciful on your real children then you were to me."
Genma just bowed his head in shame. He then went up to his
room, packed everything in least then10 seconds and came
back down. He turned to Genma again, got on his knees and
bowed three times in respect to Genma, "I thank you for
teaching me the Anything Goes style sensei and I wish you
luck with your future students." And then turned to leave
through the front gate.
"Ranma!" Akane said and then lay her own kiss on
him, "Good luck with finding your father."
"How did you?" he asked.
"It seems like the logical choice, take care baka." She
said, and with that turned around and ran for her room.
"Okaasan, I'll be back after I find Otousan." he said
before heading off. The only people that he didn't say bye to
were the amazons, mainly because he couldn't find them. The
moment he started to say good bye they just up and left. He'd
passed the Nekohaten but nobody was there.
5 months later.
It had been five months since he'd began his search
for his father, not realizing what a rare name Himura was.
Everywhere he asked, there wasn't a single Himura around.
"Ky-ot-o, Kyoto," he said as he read the sign out loud,
"Well I guess I can take a break in this city, and then continue
my search later," he thought to himself.
While in the city, he looked around and found that it
was much larger then the average city. According to legend,
this was where the Hitokiri was. He always thought that the
about the fighting rumors in Kyoto were exaggerated but then
he saw the signs of battle. As a martial artist he recognized
the many types of battle marks Ki could leave behind and
from what he saw of the city, there were a lot of strong
fighters gather there.
While looking at a sign of battle he failed to notice
where he was walking and accidentally bumped into a group
of people. Falling down on his butt first, he glanced up in
time to see a man in the red samurai garb also landed on his.
"HEY, watch where you're going punk," he saw a guy
dressed in white say to him. The guy looked pretty strong and
he had his hair cut in a strange way, almost like a chicken.
"You could have hurt Himura-san here," said a girl
wearing a blue outfit, with black hair, a braid running down
the length of her back. "She's pretty cute," he thought before
he mentally slap himself for that comment. He didn't want
anymore girl troubles now.
"It is ok Misao. Sano," the man in the red samurai
garb said. It was then that Ranma noticed that the guy had red
hair and two slash marks on his cheek. He also caught what
the girl had said "HIMURA?!" He thought, "could he be?"
"Sorry there friend but it was an accident, please
forgive them for their outburst," he said in a very polite voice.
"My name is Himura Kenshin, please to meet you," Kenshin
said as he extended his hand to Ranma. He noticed Ranma
visibly slump his shoulder when he said his name.
"The name is Ranma. Please to meet you." Ranma
returned Kenshin handshake a bit sad.
"You seemed disappointed when I introduced myself,
maybe I can help with something." he asked. For some reason
the boy seemed familiar.
Ranma let out a long sigh, "If only you knew someone
named Himura Shinta."
Kenshin eyes widened slightly. No one knew his
original name except for two special people in his life. For
some reason unexplained he had a sinking feeling.
"I know of him, may I ask why you are looking for
him?" Kenshin asked in a neutral voice.
"You do?" Ranma asked excitedly. He saw Kenshin
nodded once. "Finally I found him, can you please tell me
where he is, Himura-san?"
"You still haven't answer my question about why you
want to meet him," Kenshin reminded Ranma politely. He
had a really bad feeling about this.
"Oh gomen," Ranma apologized having forgot about
Kenshin question because of his excitement. "Well it's
because I am his son, Himura Ranma."
"ORO?!"
To be continued.
