"Speaking"
'Thoughts'
"Now your vile spell shall here forth be broken Saotome!" Proclaimed Kuno as he block entrance to Furinken High.
"What is it now Kuno?" Ranma shouted from the back of the crowd that had gathered. Almost magically a path opened through the crowd giving them a clear view of each other.
"This wishing crystal shall give me the power to vanquish your foulness from this plain of existence once and for all!" Kuno shouted pulling out a large crystal.
'Not again.' Were the thoughts going through everyone's heads. This had been happening almost everyday for several months. Kuno would show up with something he would say was magic, or instructions for some banishment spell and more often then not they would be magic but they wouldn't do what he thought. They still had nightmares about the entire male population of the school being stuck in bikini's for a day
"Those things never work Kuno." Ranma said hoping against hope Kuno would listen for once.
Alas it was not to be. "WISHING CRYSTAL! GRANT THINE WISH! BANISH THE FOUL SORCERER RANMA SAOTOME FROM THIS PLAIN!" He shouted holding up the crystal.
Seconds passed and nothing happened. "Kuno," Ranma said after a minute of absolute silence, "I think it's a- ack." Ranma clutched his chest as plain shot through his body. Falling to his knees he gasped for air as the pain grew and grew. "Kuno… ah… what did you… aRGH!" With a sharp stab of pain Ranma lost consciousness and before his head could hit the ground, he vanished in a puff of smoke.
Silence permeated the court yard for a moment before Kuno started to celebrate. "THE SORCERER IS GONE! FINALLY FAIR MAIDENS WE MAY BE TOGETHER FOR HIS SPELL IS- OOF!" The last sound was that of Akane's mallet, Ukyo's spatula and Shampoo's bonbori simultaneously burying themselves in Kuno's gut launching high into Mid Earth Orbit for the first ever exposure of a human being to space without a spacesuit and surviving.
"You said Kuno used a wishing crystal?" Cologne said examining the area after school.
"That what he call it." Shampoo said from the semi-circle the Nerima wreaking crew had formed in front of the school.
"Then son- in-law vanished correct?" She asked.
"Yeah. And he looked like he was in pain to." Ukyo said. Everyone who had witnessed it nodded.
"As much as it pains me there is nothing we can do but hope Son-in-law finds his way back. If he even wants to." Cologne sighed.
"What do you mean if he wants to!" Shouted Akane, "Why wouldn't he want to!"
"FOR REASONS LIKE YOU SHOUTING AT HIM GIRL!" Cologne roared, "Though I am one to be talking. Tricking and betraying at every turn. I'm no better then the rest of you." This last part was said in a hushed whisper but everyone managed to hear it. "Go home and hope he forgives us. Hope he comes back. Come Shampoo." With that Cologne turned and walked away.
Slowly, and with great thought, the Nerima Wrecking Crew and co. silently dispersed. As they walked a dread sank into the hearts of each girl as they reviewed what they had done in pursuit of Ranma's heart. The men thought of his actions and how they'd interpreted them. It wasn't much but it was a start. And everyone knows the beginning is always that hardest.
A month passed slowly. Fights still continued between the members of the NWC but with a much lower intensity then usual. Several innocent people were hurt during these because Ranma was no longer there redirecting their rage so that innocent people weren't harmed. The citizens of the area were praying for the return of Ranma so that he might at least end the fighting. Several had gone so far as to try to start a religion around him. Needless to say they were spending a long time away from society.
Besides these things life rolled along as it usually did, if a bit quieter. As the month drew to a close many wondered if Ranma would ever return. Luckily for them their question would be answered shortly.
Exactly one month to the day that Ranma had been 'banished' a bright orb appeared in an abandoned lot. The orb began to swirl and spin until it flattened out vertically to create a swirling transparent hole in space. It floated there for several seconds before a green leather heeled boot stepped out. It was immediately followed by the rest of the person's body.
The person was female. She was about 5' 9" with long flowing red hair pulled up in a high ponytail. She wore a red leather with vest over a black blouse that had green western dragons encircling her torso, and a pair of black shorts. Her left leg had bandages holding a light orange holster. On her hands were black fingerless gloves with metal guards on the backs. On her forehead was a piece of metal attached to a headband. The piece of metal was inscribed with a leaf symbol. Strapped to her waist was a Jian straight sword. On her back hung a giant scroll with the Kanji for 'Elemental Dragon' on it.
"Well Nerima hasn't changed all that much." The Girl, who was maybe eighteen or nineteen years old, said in an extremely familiar voice. Without another word she started down the street in the direction of certain Dojo.
The hole gradually shut, returning to it's orb shape before vanishing in a flash of light.
As the girl, or young lady as she was more likely to be, made her way down the street she couldn't help but notice the stares of and occasional cheer of happiness that came from passers by. 'At least they appreciate what I did for them now.' She thought returning a greeting of a shopkeeper.
Finally she stopped in front of a large gate with a sign that said, 'Tendo Dojo.' Taking a deep breath and, steeling herself for the onslaught of what she knew was to come, pushed the gate open.
As she stepped in she didn't find herself being assaulted with death threats, chains and pointed weapons, nor even Ki powered energy beams. Shrugging she made her way up to the front door and knocked. Several seconds passed before footsteps could be heard. The slid open to reveal the brown hair framed face of Kasumi Tendo.
"Hello can I- RANMA!"
