FOREST OF THE GODS

Chapter 1: Ranma goes on a training trip

"Man, you'd think after I saved her life from Saffron that she'd be nicer or maybe trust me a little bit." grumbled our pigtailed martial artist. "But nooooo, everything just has to be my fault. It's not like I invited everyone to the wedding."

Ranma has now been for a few days now. After finally getting tired of the chaos in Nerima, he decided to go on a training trip to get away for a while. He had this planned surprisingly well. Surprisingly, cause his plan to get them off his trail is actually working.

Tendo-Ke

As Kasumi was getting ready to get breakfast started, she noticed a note on the table.

Going on training trip to China, don't know when I'll be back.
Ranma

She read to herself. But of course in this house, if it's about Ranma, the walls have amplifiers.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S GONE TO CHINA TO TRAIN?!?!" bellowed one Genma Saotome.

"THE SCHOOLS WILL NEVER BE JOINED!!" sobbed the Tendo patriarch.

"I BET THAT PERVERT WENT OFF WITH THAT CHINESE BIMBO OF HIS!" screamed an irate Tomboy.

"Don't blame him in the least. Wish he could've told me so I could go though, it'd be worth it to get out of here." stated a calm Nabiki.

"Here here." Kasumi agreed with Nabiki.

Nabiki would normally have fumed about the loss of money this would cause, but after the failed wedding she felt something she hadn't felt in a long time. GUILT. She suddenly felt bad for all the pain and suffering that the youngest Saotome had to go through, some of which she herself caused. Since then, she has been nicer to the lad, and even gotten closer to him. They had become... dare she say it... FRIENDS!!!!

While this had been going on, the eldest Tendo had been talking more and more with Ranma and could see that he was close to his breaking point. She had hoped that after the wedding everything would calm down, but alas it was not to be. She could do nothing but watch as it got worse and worse in a downward spiral.

Because of these events, two people in this house had the same thought on their minds.
'I hope wherever you go, you will be happy Ranma-kun'

CRASH

'sigh' "I wonder how much she's going to cost me this time." grumbled Nabiki

'I just really wish he would have taken me with him' came from the same two minds.... creepy
