“Damnit too late,” Akira-chan said loudly.
“Well we are going to have to explain everything before we can get you some clothes or changed back,” Ranma said sorrowfully.
“Hai it would be better if I didn’t change, considering that I only have your shirt to cover up this smaller body,” Akira-chan said pointing generally at her body.
“Hai I guess so, lets go,” Ranma said with utmost dread.
“The sooner we get it over, the better, and the sooner I can change back,” Akira-chan said as they walked into the kitchen.
“Kasumi are you in here,” Ranma asked feeling anxiety flowing though his heart.
“Hai, Ranma-kun I am here, good to see you home,” Kasumi said with her back to the door, “how was your trip to Jusenkyo?”
“I uh didn’t ummm get a cure,” Ranma said erratically.
“Kasumi, Akane uh, Kasumi I am so sorry,” Akira-chan said running to Kasumi hugging her backside and cried.
“Oh hi who are you,” Kasumi asked with her motherly charm.
“It is me Kasumi, Akira,” Akira-chan cried out to Kasumi’s motherlike grace, “I got cursed, but Akane, she died.
Kasumi’s motherlike face turned to almost utter horror, “OH MY.”
Akira-chan could feel Kasumi hug her back in a deep tight hug, and she felt the flow of warm droplets trickle down the back of her neck, “Kasumi,” Akira-chan started let the tears over take her control.
“Akira, Kasumi, we should really tell Nabiki,” Ranma said but Akira and Kasumi didn’t respond, “I’ll just do it myself.”
Ranma left the room and walked upstairs.
“Kasumi we should get dinner started, and I need some clothes,” Akira-chan said in a quiet voice.
“Oh Akira, do you want to change back right now,” the older sister wiping away her tears, “you know Akira you’re really beautiful in this form.”
“Thanks Kasumi, I’ll wait till I get some more clothes,” Akira said rubbing the side of Kasumi’s face, “I’ll run upstairs really quick and I’ll be back, then we can get dinner started ok.”
“Ok, I’ll wait for you,” Kasumi said still wiping away Akira-chan’s tears that were still flowing.
‘What the hell was Ranma in the dojo with another woman, it didn’t look like anyone of his normal would be suitors,’ Nabiki thought, “well at least I got some pictures of it; they will sale for a good price.”
“Nabiki, can I come in,” Nabiki heard Ranma’s voice from the other side of the door.
‘Ok, here he is, calm down, straight face, devilish smile,” Nabiki thought, ‘Ah flawless,’ “Ranma come on in.”
Nabiki saw Ranma’s face as he stepped into the room, ‘Oh I wonder if he knows I caught him,’ “Ranma what do you need, I am a busy woman, after all?”
“Sit Nabiki, you need to be sitting for this,” Ranma said with tears forming around his eyes.
“What is going on Ranma,” Nabiki said as her businesslike aura began to fall.
“Nabiki, it’s Akane, she didn’t make it out of China,” Ranma said as the tears began to flow out of his heart.
Nabiki just sat there in shock as the words kept echoing through her head, “She’s uh dead.”
Ranma shook his head yes, as he reached out and hugged her, “She is really gone, when we had been for the first time honest for the,” Ranma said feeling like his throat was about to rip itself apart.
They sat there embracing each other for several minutes.

“Well Saotome-san, we are almost home,” Soun said to the man in the white gi next to him.
“Right you are Tendo-kun,” Genma said to his friend next to him, “I wonder if our absent has gotten Ranma and Akane to warm up to each other.
“Maybe Saotome-san, I called home last night and Kasumi said that Ranma and Akane were gone to China,” Tendo said with wishful hope going through his voice.
“Tendo-kun, why didn’t you tell me this good news when you got it,” Saotome questioned.
“Because there is one other person with them, that paid for the trip, another Saotome none the less,” Tendo said.
“Any idea on their first name, Tendo-kun,” Saotome questioned hoping it was not his wife.
“It was Akeku or something like that, you have any relatives of that name,” Tendo said with a raise eyebrow.
Genma was a little taken back at the name, “Could it have been Akira?
“Hai, I think that was it,” Tendo said, ‘He knows who it and from his reaction it is not good.’

“Okaasan, do you know anything about Akira,” Akane asked the elder Tendo woman.
“Hun, I watched him when he was named the next Senkou Dageki user, which was only about two weeks ago, because I have noticed anyone in Nerima that is extraordinary he or she some how ends up being at the Dojo at some point,” Kimiko said.
“Okaasan, do you know what I am going to have to do for my test of heart,” Akane asked.
“I have an idea, but I can’t tell you what it could be, you have to find it on your own,” okaasan told her ojousan.

“RANMA WHEN I FIND YOU I WILL KILL YOU,” Ryoga shouted or wanted to yell because he had just slipped into a river.

A man walking slowly with a Katana held to his back.
“Hey bitch, I am talking to you, I didn’t say you could leave,” a man in a business suit yelled at a woman running in the direction of the swordsman, “FINE HAVE IT YOUR WAY.”
The man in the business suit takes a knife out of his pocket and throws it at the running girl, “Take that bitch.”
“You did not have the right to kill anyone,” the swordsman said standing on infront of the girl that was running for her life as the two neat halves of the knife hit the ground.

“I am ready Kasumi-chan,” Akira-chan said as she walked back into kitchen.
“Akira-chan, while we are cooking would you mind explaining everything to me,” Kasumi asked with pleading eyes.
“Of course not Kasumi-chan,” Akira-chan’s gray eyes darkened when she remembered Kuro Zenjin.
“You remember something, Akira,” Kasumi asked when she saw Akira’s eyes literally glow darkly.
“Hai Kasumi-chan something I am not sure how to deal with, it seemed easy to deal with when my parents died, but this,” Akira-chan said as she slowly broke into tears.
“Hush, Akira,” Kasumi said putting her finger on the smaller girl’s mouth, “What ever happened is over.”
“But Kasumi it still doesn’t change the fact that I was almost raped,” Akira-chan angrily burst out tears flying.
“Oh my, sorry I didn’t think it would have been that bad,” Kasumi said giving the frightened girl a motherly hug.
“We’re home,” the two tearful girls heard from the front door.
“Kasumi-chan, one thing, before you tell your Dad and Mr. Saotome what happened, is that Akane visited me and Ranma in our dreams and she can come back sometime soon,” Akira-chan said quickly and hushed.
Kasumi just looked blankly at Akira-chan.
“I mean she is dead, but not dead at the same time,” Akira-chan said.
“Hi Kasumi-chan, who is your friend,” Soun asked pointing at Akira.
“OH hi dad this is Saotome Akira,” Kasumi said hugging Akira-chan to her side.
“Your Akira,” Genma asked beading overlooking Akira in the eyes while confusion played in his own.
“Hai sir, I am, who are you,” Akira-chan said ducking behind Kasumi.
“You’re kinda shy aren’t you,” Soun said.
Akira-chan just nodded her head.
“Kasumi-chan, I thought you said Akira was a boy,” Soun said looking back at Kasumi.
Kasumi looked Akira-chan in the eyes and silently asked her.
Akira-chan had a pleading in her eyes that almost began Kasumi’s eyes to well up in tears.
“No father, you must have heard wrong,” Kasumi said as her eyes broke away from Akira’s.

“Sir might I ask you name,” the woman asked the man who walked like a Samurai.
“It’s Hichido,” the swordsman said blandly.
“Could I uh treat you to tea, or maybe coffee,” the woman requested.
“No thanks, I am quite fine,” Hichido said coldly.
“Please sir, I wouldn’t feel right if you just disappear without me at least treating you to something,” the woman begged.
“Then you will have to not feel right, why not give the money to an orphanage or something similar.
----------------Tendo House
“Nabiki, I can’t say I know how you feel, but I love her,” Ranma said through his tears.
Nabiki looked up from Ranma’s statement and into his eyes and saw nothing but the pain of loss.
“Nabiki, I have some other news about Akane as well,” Ranma said getting Nabiki’s attention, “She can come back.”
“What, dead people just don’t come back,” Nabiki said with a skeptical expression across her face.
“Well Nabiki, Akira and me had a dream, we both can remember it, clearly, and Akane was talking with us. She said that she was not dead, and she was coming home after she completed a test of heart or faith or something like that,” Ranma said with a clearly brighter expression.
“How is that possible,” Nabiki said question.
“I don’t know, Nab,” Ranma said quietly.
Meanwhile downstairs, “Kasumi, is Ranma and Akane around,” Soun asked.
“Ranma is, but Akane will not be home for a few days,” Kasumi said hiding the emotions that were going through her heart.
“I think I am going to talk with Ranma,” Soun said, “is he upstairs?”
“Hai otousan,” Kasumi said, “But father shouldn’t you get something to eat first anyway, Ranma went upstairs to talk with Nabiki so it might be best to leave them be till they get finished with their business.”
“Hai your right Kasumi,” Soun said, “wouldn’t want to have to give Nabiki another raise.”
“Hai otousan, why don’t you go into the dinning room and play shogi,” Kasumi said trying to get them out of the kitchen, “me and Akira are about to start cooking dinner.”
“Ok Kasumi,” Soun said, “Lets go Saotome.”
“Be right there Tendo-kun,” Genma said waiting for Soun to leave the kitchen, “Akira who was your mother?”
“I don’t know Mr. Saotome,” Akira-chan said from behind Kasumi, “I am an orphan.”
Genma’s expression changed sharply disbelief, “Ok thank you Akira and just call me ojisan from now on ok?” he said quickly leaving the room.
“Kasumi, why didn’t you tell them the truth,” Akira-chan asked.
“Because Akira that includes things that you didn’t want told, and it would only be told best from your and Ranma’s point of view.” Kasumi said, “Could I ask you one question though?”
“Sure Kasumi,” Akira-chan said quickly.
“Why didn’t you want them to know that you had been cursed,” Kasumi asked her helper.
“Well Kasumi, Mr. Matsuo said it would be good to change my name, when we got home why not change everything, I think it’s a great way to hide from who ever is trying to kill me,” Akira-chan said sounding like she held part of the truth in.
“Very well, ok Akira-chan if that is how you would like it,” Kasumi said with the knowing motherly smile.
“Thanks Kasumi I knew you would understand,” Akira-chan said with a smile that seemed sparkle, “Let’s get started on dinner.”
“RANMA IT WAS JUST A DREAM IT DOES NOT MEAN SHE CAN JUST COME BACK,” Nabiki screamed at Ranma.
“Nabiki, I have to believe, I have to believe that she can come back,” Ranma cried to his fiancé’s sister.
“Ranma, but it defies all reason,” Nabiki said calming down.
“Nabiki, I know it does, but when has things been reasonable for us,” Ranma said with his heart still bleeding.
“I give up trying to talk since into you,” Nabiki signed as she resigned.
“I am going downstairs to see if how Kasumi and Akira are doing,” Ranma said letting go of Nabiki, “I’ll bring up dinner for you in a bit so you will not have to worry about coming down and breaking down again.”
“Do over,” Tendo said.
“No do overs,” Saotome said with a feeling of pride.
“Saotome, why did you seem relieved when you found out Akira was a girl, thought it’s an odd name for a girl,” Tendo said, ‘Move this there, and that here ah ha I will win.’
“I just feel like a ghost from the past is crawling over my grave,” Saotome said remembering something.
“Akira, come on I think pops is home,” Ranma said as he poured hot water over Akira’s head, “Good to see you found some clothes oniisan.”
“Hey Ranma, I am helping Kasumi right now,” Akira said as he felt his body change, “the change feels a little weird, like the balance is changed all of sudden.”
“Hai Akira it takes a little to get used to, I just hope I am never in a tight spot and get hot water poured on me.” Ranma said nodding, “But we should really start explaining everything to Mr. Tendo and Pops.”
“Oh don’t worry about that Ranma, Akira and I told them that you and Akira would tell them all about it after dinner,” Kasumi said noting Akira change in act.
“Right, let’s finish that up together so that we can get that over with,” Ranma said eyeing the curry.
“Kasumi, if you don’t need me I am going to absorb some heat,” Akira said plainly, “Right after I change back to the female form.”
“Sure Akira, go ahead, me and Ranma can handle it,” Kasumi said.
“Ok Kas-chan thanks,” Akira said with a smile coming across her face as she poured a glass of water over her head.
“Akira, how are you related to the Saotome family,” Genma said to the young girl that walked out of the kitchen.
“Ojisan Genma, I was adopted by Ranma as a sister, when my family was killed in an explosion,” Akira-chan said as she looked up in Genma’s eyes with tears starting to form.
“That’s too bad,” Genma said getting the feeling that something is not quite right.
“Kasumi, why did Akira change back to female form,” Ranma said with a surprised look on his face.
“She is hiding from that man that killed her family, with the curse it makes it easier for her to hide as female,” Kasumi said with a calm smile, but her eyes still showed pain.

“Akane my child,” a voice that was nether male nor female echoed Akane, “your test of heart is now.”
Akane looked around the room that resembled her home, and saw a person standing in the doorway; the person looked of either sex, “Who are you?” is all Akane managed to say.
“Ojousan, this is Almighty, the leader of the Silver Saints.” Kimiko said to her ojousan.
“You mean it’s Kami, okaasan,” Akane said as she started to bow to Almighty.
“No child, I am not Kami, my name is Almighty, I am the leader of the Silver Saints, Kami names the person worthy a Silver Saints, and I lead them from there.” Almighty said “Akane your okaasan is a Silver Saint but she has died.”
“What does this have to do with me though,” Akane looked to her okaasan’s eyes.
“You willingly gave your life so Ranma could save another,” Kimiko said rubbing her ojousan’s cheek, “If you hadn’t of done that, Akira is his cursed form would have been raped by a Dark Saint, the true enemy, if that had happened Akira would have become locked in that form and became his slave.”
“You mean there are other types of Saints?” Akane asked in bewilderment.
“Hai child, there are three types a Saint, a Dark Saint, and a Silver Saint,” Almighty said clearly, “A Saint is one declared by man a Saint, a Dark Saint is one that has taken the dark powers for themselves, and a Silver Saint which you have became, is one declared by Kami-Sama.”
“But I thought that a Saint was a Holy man,” Akane said in confusion.
“You are correct, child,” Almighty said, “No matter how dark the power is, it is still holy in some form, because who was the Devil; he was at one time an angel even if his power is dark, and it still holds a holy root, which is why there are two types of real Saints.”
“Ok I think I get it, ok what next,” Akane asked as it made sense.
“Well you are like your okaasan,” Almighty said coolly.
“Hai I guess sir,” Akane said bowing her head to him.
“Child, do you accept responsibility of being chosen to become a True Saint,” Almighty said.
“Hai sir,” Akane said surely.
“Do you vow to not abuse the powers that will be granted to you,” Almighty said.
“Hai sir,” Akane said.
“Will you risk Ranma’s life to save others,” Almighty said staring through her eyes.
“I can’t,” Akane said as she stared at her feet.

Akira-chan was sitting by the Koi pond on her knee in a meditation, ‘Akane why can’t you be here. Ranma needs you, Kasumi, Nabiki, and as well me.’
Akira opened her eyes, ‘where am I’ she thought to herself.
“Honey we can’t just get rid of one of them, Akira is just as important as the other,” a female voice screamed with her heart.
“If we don’t hun, they both will die, we can’t feed both of them,” a familiar voice said sadly.
“If we do that, we will have lost two of our sons,” the woman’s voice screamed.
“We can’t afford to have both of them, if we put one up in an orphanage they both will live, but if not, I fear both of them will die.” The male voice said, “I am as scared as you are, honey.”
“KAMI-SAMA TO SATAN ON HIGH OTOUSAN YOU ARE GOING TO DIE,” Akira-chan shouted while bringing in all the heat she could.
“Tendo-kun, Akira must have had a bad vision in the meditation,” Saotome said in fear seeing the silver aura flaring up.
“I think your right, Saotome-san,” Soun said moving a few pieces on the broad.
The water in the Koi began to boil as the heat from Akira-chan’s body began to seep out.
“AKIRA STOP IT IS JUST A DREAM,” Ranma shouted tackling Akira-chan into the pond.
“Oniisan, thanks I was having a bad dream, I guess I drained a little much heat for now,” Akira said who had changed when he had hit the pond.
“It ok Akira, but I think we have some explaining to do,” Ranma said looking at a bewildered Genma and Soun.
“Ranma, Akira?” Soun asked looking at the two teens that looked almost the same.
“Hai Mr. Tendo, I am Akira, while in China, I fell into the same spring as Ranma,” Akira said.
“So you are really a boy,” Genma said with a look of horror coming across his face.
“Hai, I am ojisan,” Akira said as he looked Genma with a look that seemed to singe hair, “And we all need to talk.”
“Everyone in the dinning room,” Soun said coming out of his daze, “NOW!”
“Ok Mr. Tendo,” Ranma and Akira both said moving into the dinning room.
“Ok boys start from the beginning,” Soun said.
“It all started……” Akira said

“I am ready Kasumi-chan,” Akira-chan said as she walked back into kitchen.
“Akira-chan, while we are cooking would you mind explaining everything to me,” Kasumi asked with pleading eyes.
“Of course not Kasumi-chan,” Akira-chan’s gray eyes darkened when she remembered Kuro Zenjin.

“Hai otousan, why don’t you go into the dinning room and play shogi,” Kasumi said trying to get them out of the kitchen, “me and Akira are about to start cooking dinner.”
“Ok Kasumi,” Soun said, “Lets go Saotome.”
“Be right there Tendo-kun,” Genma said waiting for Soun to leave the kitchen, “Akira who was your mother?”
“I don’t know Mr. Saotome,” Akira-chan said from behind Kasumi, “I am an orphan.”
Genma’s expression changed sharply disbelief, “Ok thank you Akira and just call me ojisan from now on ok?” he said quickly leaving the room.
“Kasumi, why didn’t you tell them the truth,” Akira-chan asked.
“Because Akira that includes things that you didn’t want told, and it would only be told best from your and Ranma’s point of view.” Kasumi said, “Could I ask you one question though?”

“Nabiki, I have to believe, I have to believe that she can come back,” Ranma cried to his fiancé’s sister.
“Ranma, but it defies all reason,” Nabiki said calming down.
“Nabiki, I know it does, but when has things been reasonable for us,” Ranma said with his heart still bleeding.
“I give up trying to talk since into you,” Nabiki signed as she resigned.
“I am going downstairs to see if how Kasumi and Akira are doing,” Ranma said letting go of Nabiki, “I’ll bring up dinner for you in a bit so you will not have to worry about coming down and breaking down again.”
“Do over,” Tendo said.
“No do overs,” Saotome said with a feeling of pride.
“Saotome, why did you seem relieved when you found out Akira was a girl, thought it’s an odd name for a girl,” Tendo said, ‘Move this there, and that here ah ha I will win.’
“I just feel like a ghost from the past is crawling over my grave,” Saotome said remembering something.
“Akira, come on I think pops is home,” Ranma said as he poured hot water over Akira’s head, “Good to see you found some clothes oniisan.”
“Hey Ranma, I am helping Kasumi right now,” Akira said as he felt his body change, “the change feels a little weird, like the balance is changed all of sudden.”
“Hai Akira it takes a little to get used to, I just hope I am never in a tight spot and get hot water poured on me.” Ranma said nodding, “But we should really start explaining everything to Mr. Tendo and Pops.”
“Oh don’t worry about that Ranma, Akira and I told them that you and Akira would tell them all about it after dinner,” Kasumi said noting Akira change in act.
“Right, let’s finish that up together so that we can get that over with,” Ranma said eyeing the curry.
“Kasumi, if you don’t need me I am going to absorb some heat,” Akira said plainly, “Right after I change back to the female form.”
“Sure Akira, go ahead, me and Ranma can handle it,” Kasumi said.
“Ok Kas-chan thanks,” Akira said with a smile coming across her face as she poured a glass of water over her head.
“Akira, how are you related to the Saotome family,” Genma said to the young girl that walked out of the kitchen.
“Ojisan Genma, I was adopted by Ranma as a sister, when my family was killed in an explosion,” Akira-chan said as she looked up in Genma’s eyes with tears starting to form.
“That’s too bad,” Genma said getting the feeling that something is not quite right.
“Kasumi, why did Akira change back to female form,” Ranma said with a surprised look on his face.
“She is hiding from that man that killed her family, with the curse it makes it easier for her to hide as female,” Kasumi said with a calm smile, but her eyes still showed pain.

“Akane my child,” a voice that was nether male nor female echoed Akane, “your test of heart is now.”
Akane looked around the room that resembled her home, and saw a person standing in the doorway; the person looked of either sex, “Who are you?” is all Akane managed to say.
“Ojousan, this is Almighty, the leader of the Silver Saints.” Kimiko said to her ojousan.
“You mean it’s Kami, okaasan,” Akane said as she started to bow to Almighty.
“No child, I am not Kami, my name is Almighty, I am the leader of the Silver Saints, Kami names the person worthy a Silver Saints, and I lead them from there.” Almighty said “Akane your okaasan is a Silver Saint but she has died.”
“What does this have to do with me though,” Akane looked to her okaasan’s eyes.
“You willingly gave your life so Ranma could save another,” Kimiko said rubbing her ojousan’s cheek, “If you hadn’t of done that, Akira is his cursed form would have been raped by a Dark Saint, the true enemy, if that had happened Akira would have become locked in that form and became his slave.”
“You mean there are other types of Saints?” Akane asked in bewilderment.
“Hai child, there are three types a Saint, a Dark Saint, and a Silver Saint,” Almighty said clearly, “A Saint is one declared by man a Saint, a Dark Saint is one that has taken the dark powers for themselves, and a Silver Saint which you have became, is one declared by Kami-Sama.”
“But I thought that a Saint was a Holy man,” Akane said in confusion.
“You are correct, child,” Almighty said, “No matter how dark the power is, it is still holy in some form, because who was the Devil; he was at one time an angel even if his power is dark, and it still holds a holy root, which is why there are two types of real Saints.”
“Ok I think I get it, ok what next,” Akane asked as it made sense.
“Well you are like your okaasan,” Almighty said coolly.
“Hai I guess sir,” Akane said bowing her head to him.
“Child, do you accept responsibility of being chosen to become a True Saint,” Almighty said.
“Hai sir,” Akane said surely.
“Do you vow to not abuse the powers that will be granted to you,” Almighty said.
“Hai sir,” Akane said.
“Will you risk Ranma’s life to save others,” Almighty said staring through her eyes.
“I can’t,” Akane said as she stared at her feet.
----------------Tendo House
Akira-chan was sitting by the Koi pond on her knee in a meditation, ‘Akane why can’t you be here. Ranma needs you, Kasumi, Nabiki, and as well me.’
Akira opened her eyes, ‘where am I’ she thought to herself.
“Honey we can’t just get rid of one of them, Akira is just as important as the other,” a female voice screamed with her heart.
“If we don’t hun, they both will die, we can’t feed both of them,” a familiar voice said sadly.
“If we do that, we will have lost two of our sons,” the woman’s voice screamed.
“We can’t afford to have both of them, if we put one up in an orphanage they both will live, but if not, I fear both of them will die.” The male voice said, “I am as scared as you are, honey.”
“KAMI-SAMA TO SATAN ON HIGH OTOUSAN YOU ARE GOING TO DIE,” Akira-chan shouted while bringing in all the heat she could.
“Tendo-kun, Akira must have had a bad vision in the meditation,” Saotome said in fear seeing the silver aura flaring up.
“I think your right, Saotome-san,” Soun said moving a few pieces on the broad.
The water in the Koi began to boil as the heat from Akira-chan’s body began to seep out.
“AKIRA STOP IT IS JUST A DREAM,” Ranma shouted tackling Akira-chan into the pond.
“Oniisan, thanks I was having a bad dream, I guess I drained a little much heat for now,” Akira said who had changed when he had hit the pond.
“It ok Akira, but I think we have some explaining to do,” Ranma said looking at a bewildered Genma and Soun.
“Ranma, Akira?” Soun asked looking at the two teens that looked almost the same.
“Hai Mr. Tendo, I am Akira, while in China, I fell into the same spring as Ranma,” Akira said.
“So you are really a boy,” Genma said with a look of horror coming across his face.
“Hai, I am ojisan,” Akira said as he looked Genma with a look that seemed to singe hair, “And we all need to talk.”
“Everyone in the dinning room,” Soun said coming out of his daze, “NOW!”
“Ok Mr. Tendo,” Ranma and Akira both said moving into the dinning room.
“Ok boys start from the beginning,” Soun said.
“It all started……” Akira said
