The Younger Senshi

Chapter 1:Gone

His life was gone. All down the drain. Akane had burned all but one of the age mushrooms, and the last she had given to Ryoga. How could she! Ranma clenched his small fists in anger. He was powerless to do anything, and after his mother had found out, she had decided that Ranma could not be her son, for he had absolutely nothing going for him. It was time to leave. He just couldn't stay here. Ranma walked over to Kasumi and asked, "Kasumi? Can you help me pack my things? "

"Ranma, you can't go!", Kasumi exclaimed.

"Kasumi, I can't stay here. I have nothing left to me, not my strength, not any friends, nothing." Ranma replied sadly. She pulled him into a hug and said, "Ranma, the only way I will let you go is if I come with you. I have nothing here as well. In fact, let us leave tonight, so that they can not force us to stay here. With that, Kasumi and Ranma went to pack their things.

The next morning, there were two notes on the table. Soun walked over, wondering when breakfast would be ready. He then saw the notes and read them. One was from Kasumi to himself. The other was from Ranma to Genma. Kasumi's note said this:

"Father, I hope you are not troubled by my sudden departure. Ranma and I have left because we have nothing left here. You are the only person who will be notified of our whereabouts. IF we found out that you have given someone other than Nabiki our location, we will make sure that the schools will never be united, in no way whatsoever. Nabiki knows we have gone, although she does not know where. She has agreed to keep our location secret free of charge, and will divulge it to no person for no sum of money. As to where we are, we will be living in the Juuban district. Also, if you would get it, there is a package in my room underneath my bed. I hope this will compensate you for your loss."

Soun went to Kasumi's room. The package contained some money and a few other books. He looked over the books and found that they were Kasumi's cookbooks. There was a note inside. It read: Father, I suggest you use the money to get an instructor in cooking for Akane or get a decent chef. Either way, these cookbooks are either for Akane or whoever will cook for the family. Truth be told, I never liked Mr. Saotome that much. Perhaps you can make him cook. If he refuses, you probably should kick him out of the ,house since the schools likely never will be united now. Soun simply reacted to the note by passing out. He had had emotional overload, however unlikely that may be.
