Sitting up in the darn room of the DoJo, were he, Ranma and Soun sleep. Genma Saotome looked over at his son, to see if he was sleeping. A soft smile spread across his lips as he noted with happiness that Ranma, was indeed a sleep.. Looking over at Soun Genma moved over closer to him. "Tendou? you awake?" He whisperd softly and placed a hand on Soun's shoulder.
Souns eyes opend slowly and he blinked to focus his eyes in the dark to better see Genma. "Im awake Saotome.... thats for sure." Soun got out of bed and offered Genma his hand to help him stand. Genma took soun's hand and stood slowly. Smiling at eachother both quietly exited the room, careful not to wake the sleeping Ranma.
Padding softly down the dimly lite hallway, Genma and Soun were careful not to wake the sleeping girls Akane, Nabiki, and Kasumi.. they would never understand why their fathers were sneaking off this late in the night. At least that's what Soun and Genma thought.
'How could Kasumi, Nabiki, Akane and Ranma possibly understand the love i feel for Genma. After the girls's mother died, he was there for me. And all the times I spent with Genma... and with master happosai. I've just grown to love him more... oh what will I do if they find out?!" Soun thinks to himself as he has for many nights over the years that he and Genma have been having their seceret love affiar.
'If only Ranma knew how hard it has been, not being with Nadoka, and yet not so hard thanks to the love me and Soun share for eachother. It keeps me through these days... heh, and turning into a Panda makes things a bit more interesting for me and him..." Genma's thoughts trail on for awhile, flashing back wonderful memories of his presious times alone with Soun.
Leaving the Dojo, to go to their secluded place, the two men make sure they are not being followed, nor being watched. One person knowing would ruin their lifes forever.... or at least they feared so.
~~~~~~
Tossing and turning in his sleep, knowing that something wasnt right, Ranma Saotome sat up in his bed and looked around "eh pops?" He whisperd quietly through the dark, and looked over and didnt see his father sleeping next to him. "Mr. Tendou?" Ranma looked over to see Soun not there either. Standing and getting his black pants on Ranma quietly walked out the room, and looked around the Dojo, finding neither his father nor Soun anywere.
Ranma quickly walked down the hall, to Akanes room were she was sleeping peacefully in her bed. He stopped at the door, and watched her lost gazing at her beauty and then rememberd why he was even standing there. Walking over to Akane's bed and gently giving her a soft kiss on the cheek first, Ranma placed a hand on Akane's shoulder and said quietly "Hey Akane... Akane wake up.. Pop's and your father is missing.."
Akane opened her eyes slowly, and looked at Ranma blinking to focus. "R..ranma?? what is it?" She sat up with a worried look on her face. Ranma smiled softly but quickly hid it... not so ready to show his love for Akane.
"Pop's and your fathers missing, they arent anywere in the Dojo" he said with worry in his eyes. "Huh?? both missing?... We better get Kasumi Ranma" Akane said as she got out of bed, Ranma's hand sliding off her shoulder as she did so...
