Kasumi in Limbo
The Tendo Dojo was peacefully quiet. Everyone was asleep, no fiancee's
were attacking, in short, everything was fine, except for the fact that
Kasumi had been missing for three months now. The kitchen was a mild
disaster area, having been a battle zone between Akane and whoever
wanted to cook that day(Usually Ranma). They say that midnight is the
witching hour, when alsorts of magical things occur, but in Nerima, you
don't necessarily have to wait until midnight.
Kasumi tried once again at the computer terminal in Limbo. "Maybe this
time it will let me E-mail myself." She tried again in frustration and
decided to see what kind of programs were on the computer. "Windows 98
in Limbo?" Kasumi shrugged. "Maybe there is some kind of hint I'm
missing"
Kasumi had the computer search for all .exe files. She scanned the
names of the files. "What is this program called HOME?" She decided
that she'd better check it out before running it. "Path,
C:/HERE/IS/YOUR/TICKET/HOME.EXE" Kasumi blinked. The way home had been
right in front of her. With a shaky hand, she opened the program, only
to have a wizard pop up. Kasumi found herself faced with a miriad of
choices as to where home was. She tryed browsing through the Millions
of choices offered. Finally her eyes settled on where she knew was
home, "RNK." She decided to preview the dimension so as to make sure
she was going home. Sure enough there was the family home, even with
the 3d walk through program she recognized her room. "Yes, This is
home." She finished with the wizard and a voice from the computer
said, "This is Bill Gates Thank you for beta testing MicrosoftLimbo and
wishing you a safe return from MicrosoftLimbo. We bought Limbo out a
while ago since that's where alot of files went after the shipment of
Windows95. Maybe next year we'll upgrade Limbo and market it across
dimensions. Have a nice day!" A portal opened up on the screen and
Kasumi tentativly put her hand through the monitor...

Kasumi fell into her room and opened the shutters to let the moonlight
in. She looked around surveying the changes that had happened while
she was in MicrosoftLimbo. Her hands brushed across her dresser and
she was surprised to find dust, and a heavy layer of it, too. She
dusted her room and when she was done, she glanced at the clock and
it's red numerals glowed 10:58. She went out into the kitchen and was
shocked by the mess. She broke out the mop and pail and started
cleaning the kitchen. She cleaned the greenish stuff off of the
cieling, pausing for a second to ask herself if she Really wanted to
know what it was, or was suppose to have been. After cleaning the rest
of the kitchen, Kasumi tackled the pile of plates beside the sink. She
wasn't sure what was dirty and what wasn't so she just tackled
everything. She calmly centered herself and tried to remember just
what Ranma always said. She opened her eyes and looked from the pile
of dishes to her right to the sink in front of her. "KACHUU TENSHIN
AMAGURIKEN!" Her hands began to speed up and she scrubbed each dish
thoroughly. At the pace of a scrubbed dish every 3 seconds, she knew
that she'd never get as fast as Ranma, but it did help her do the
dishes every once in a while. The pile on the right soon moved over to
the left, as Kasumi worked on concentrating on keeping her focus. She
finished the last dish and then decided to walk around the house and
quietly clean any other messes she found along the way.

Kasumi walked past her room and looked longingly at the bed. She had
her mind made up to take a nap, when she saw her clock glaring 5:30.
She groaned slightly and shook off her sleepy mood. She went back into
the kitchen and started to fix breakfast, allowing the delicious smells
of cooking food to wake her up, which wasn't quite working. Even
though she was half asleep, Kasumi managed to cook one of her splendid
breakfasts, and set the table.
At 6:00 she pulled a few hot trays from out of the cupboard to keep
everything warm while she waited for everyone to wake up. She sat down
at her seat and waited. That one moment of non-motion was enough for
her body to say "Bedtime!" Her eyes drooped shut and her head hit her
chest as she fell asleep at the table.
