Kudoi-sensei!
It was a day that I would never forget. Right after the failed wedding, Akane and I decided to work out the mess that was our lives. One week later, something happened.
This "something" set in motion a change in my life that I could not ever imagine. This one thing definitely fixed all of my problems. But in classic Nermia style, it made problems just as much as it fixed them.
I remember that day in the stuffy auditorium. But it didn't start there. It started in our class.
Luckily for us, Ms. Hinako was moved up a grade to keep teaching the "Martial Artist Crowd". Nabiki was now a senior. Akane and I were Juniors. It was a wonderful first day of school.
The first day of school was going along fine until we had an assembly.
"An' the Big kuhana wants everyone to pay attention to his announcement today. The big Kuhana does not like how teachers handle "science". Big kuhana went all the way to America and back, (not just great land Hawaii), but further to find new kumu a'o for ungrateful Keiki. Sadly, big kuhana needed to go all way to San Francisco to find them. Please welcome new kumu a'o of Chemistry, Mori Mani; kumu a'o of geological sciences, Haru Shizuki; kumu a'o of physics, Mizuki Mamoru; and last but not least, kumu a'o of general science, Kudoi-"
"It's Kudey!"
"-ahem- Kudey Korey."
As each teacher bowed and introduced themselves, Korey did something else. He came to the podium and said "Nihongo? No!... Dismissed!"
It was then everyone knew that Kudey did not know much Japanese.
But that didn't matter. He made things short and dismissed them. And getting out of school was all that mattered.
The light and rushed applause that followed was like a lone trumpet heralding in a massive army. For such a small anouncement, no one could ever imagine the great effect this one man would bring. This applause was the herald of a new Time. A Time of Change.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was an epoch of simiarities, it was an epoch of diffrences, It was the year I no longer knew who I was. It was the year I started… my new life.
One teacher. One word.
Kudoi.
That is all that is needed to spell the end of the destructive, never-losing, and god-slaying Ranma Saotome. It was the time when chaos became ordered. It was the era of order becoming chaos. But most of all, it was the year when I finally knew what I had to do.
All thanks to Kudoi-sensei.
I just wish he never passed away...
AN: well… little teaser for my newest fic... Takes place right after the failed wedding, in a modified D:M-verse... modified how? all of my Ranma fics come after a divergence point, and normally that is before Saffron. This could be considered to be my "main" storyline for Ranma, as it will have the "Canon" version of my "Fanon".
