Gudako POV:
As the days go by until the weekend Ranma, Ryoga and I continue our studies in school. In class, I saw how Ranma wasn't doing so well in class as he struggled to understand the material. I chalked it up to Genma not properly teaching him academics. Most likely he is trying to keep Ranma ignorant so he is reliant on him only the bastard.
It's going to take some serious tutoring to help Ranma catch up since he doesn't really want to learn it because he finds it too boring. I think it's best to have his mother Nodoka teach him when I bring him to the house this Saturday. I already informed Krista about Ranma so Kazuma and Ryuho should be back this weekend. If they don't make it back in time Krista has her brother Straight Cougar on speed dial so he can be here in a Flash as he words it.
During class, I noticed that Ranma is more tired than the rest of us. He is also has a few scratches and bruises when he comes to school. I asked him about it but he dodged the question. He ended up telling me only when I betted I could beat him in another race in gym class and win.
Apparently, Ranma's father has upped up his training so he's been training all night. I figured Genma must have caught wind of Ranma losing to me so now he is punishing Ranma for that. That would explain why Ranma has been competing against me in any activity we are doing in gym class.
Really Ranma doesn't have much chance of beating me, not to be arrogant it just Ranma was being trained to be the best martial artist in the Ranmaverse. I've been training myself to fight on par with the Z fighters; not to mention I fought demons, monsters and Heroic Spirits these past few months.
Besides the way Ranma uses his ki or chi whatever way you call it he uses it instinctively. He probably isn't even aware of it, I doubt Genma knew the proper method to use it so he must of trained Ranma to the point he unlocked it himself.
For me I know how to use ki to the point I can use it to make myself faster and stronger. I can also use it to make an invisible barrier around myself to better protect myself from damage. It practically gives me the same sturdiness Ryoga gets from his Bakusai Tenketsu training. So really in a straight up fight with me and Ranma, he wouldn't stand a chance. He is better off fighting Ryoga as I'm still training him to better use his ki and Ranma would be good practice.
Other than that I found myself feeling watched a lot. It wasn't the normal kind from normal students or some of those stalking girls. It was the malicious kind that might try to do me harm. I used my ki senses that Krista taught me but there were times where I felt someone was there for a moment then it disappeared; the feeling of being watched didn't disappear, however.
I had a feeling a certain soon to be transformed panda was following me. It only ever stopped following as I got home where Shirokuro was on the lookout. As the few times, the sneaky bastard trespass onto our property uninvited the bounded field went off alerting Shirokuro of the intruder which pointed her right where the invisible intruder was where she attacked with utmost prejudice.
Luckily Nodoka was in the house at those times so I don't think Genma ever saw her. Ever since he first broke in I enhanced the bounded field to give a simple curse like the Rin's Gandr shot to make them feel ill to any unwelcome guest on our property unless said person was 12 and under so no effect.
Other than that life went on as usual and now it is Friday so I'm going to show Ranma the way to my house so he knows where he is going when we race tomorrow after school.
3rd POV:
It was Friday and two friends are leaving school together and now waiting at the gate for the third of their group.
The bandanna boy waiting was getting irradiated at the third person holding them up. "Do we have to wait up for him? Can't we just we just go home already?"
"No Ryoga we have to wait. We have to show him the way to our house so we can race tomorrow." Said Gudako.
Ryoga gives a tired sign. "Do we have to? I whether he does not know where I live Gudako."
"Ryoga I know you don't exactly get along with Ranma as he has no filter on his mouth so he says things that may be a bit hurtful but you have to get over it. You can't let words hurt you remember sticks and stones." Said Gudako.
Ryoga groans at this. "I know it's just he knows what buttons to push. How can you stand him? I heard him say enough backhanded comments at you just as much as me."
"Simple Ryoga, I simply ignore his words as they mean nothing to me. Besides I can tell he doesn't mean it it's just he doesn't know how to act around people. That and I remember when he asked us both to be our friends and said yes, he had the same smile you had when I asked to be your friend. Like you, he must not have had many friends Ryoga, so that's why I want you to try as in another way he is a lot like you." Said Gudako.
Ryoga says nothing after this choosing to think on her words. They wait a couple of more minutes before Ranma finally arrives.
"Sorry I'm late the teacher just wouldn't get off my case about those homework assignments I didn't do. I told them my Pops had me up all night training and they didn't believe me." Complained Ranma.
"Ranma doing that homework is important for your education. You need to tell your father you need to study more not train." Said Gudako.
"Hey I did but Pops said my martial arts training was more important than my head in a book." Said Ranma.
'Obviously, Genma doesn't care about Ranma's education. The idiot only cares for himself. Which makes me wonder why is Genma here at all? I expect him to be still in China not here having Ranma learning in school. What exactly is keeping him here?' thought Gudako.
"Hey Ranma what brought you and your father here in the first place? You always talk about the places you've been but from what I got from your stories about your father he doesn't sound like the kind of guy who would let anyone teach you but himself."
Ranma thinks about it a moment. "Well, normally your right. The reasons we're here is this people the Kujo family who tracked us down. They are a family of the martial artist who descends from an old samurai family. We stayed with them for a week when we met in China. They were an okay people they even taught me a few techniques. It's just that when we left Pops may have borrowed a few things one being their family sword that been passed for generations."
Ranma pauses with his story to gauge their reaction to his last statement. 'Well it looks like Emiya's eye is twitching so not too bad and Ryoga appears to be angrier than usual. I guess that was to be expected.'
"Well, my Pops isn't bad per say he just does things without thinking sometimes." Ranma tried to explain.
"You call that without thinking? I call that completely stupid to steal from the people you were staying with. What kind of man is your father anyway to steal something like that?" Angrily shouted Ryoga.
Ranma unable to come up for a good excuse for his father mostly kept his head down. Gudako seeing this decides to intervene.
"Well besides what kind of father he is what did happen to the sword?" Asked Gudako.
Ranma quickly taking this chance to avoid talking about his Pops answers. "Pops sold the sword to some dealer and got a lot of money for it. But unfortunately, Pops wasted it all on booze. Luckily the dealer knew the Kujo's so he sold it back to them."
'My God Genma is a reckless idiot. I hope Kazuma rips the fucker apart when he meets him.' "Well, I had enough talking about your father no evince but let's just go already." Said Gudako as she leads them back to the Hibiki house.
A few minutes later as the group heads home Gudako notices a cat in the alley. 'Hmm, this would be a good opportunity to learn if Genma tried to teach Ranma Neko-ken yet.' Gudako then leads them to the alley picking up the cat then turn around to show the boys.
"Hey look at this I found a really cute kitty." Said Gudako in a cutesy voice.
Ryoga seeing this scratches the cat's ear. "Wow, it really is cute little fur ball."
Ranma seeing this starts to back away. "Cc-ca-cat." Mutters Ranma.
Gudako seeing this walks closer to Ranma. "Ranma look at this kitten doesn't she look adorable?"
Ranma at this point starts to freak out and jumps on Ryoga's head hoping to keep the little demon away. "Hey! Get off my head you bastard!" yelled Ryoga.
Gudako couldn't help but laugh at the sight of this for a minute before letting the cat down shooing it away letting Ranma calm down a bit. As Ranma calms down to normal Ryoga knocks him off his head. "OW what was that for?" complained Ranma. "That was for jumping on my head again you bastard." Yelled Ryoga.
Gudako decides to intervene before they start something. "Okay, that's enough you two. Now Ranma now how about you explain why you are afraid of cats? I know that's not normal unless something traumatic happened to you the made you afraid of them." Asked Gudako.
Ranma seeing he had no way out of explaining this told them both everything about the Neko-ken. He told them how he was six years old when Genma tied him with fish sausages and tossed him into a pit of hungry cats hoping it would imprint the fighting movements and instincts as a cat. How he repeatedly tossed him, again and again, describing the whole experience.
'Well damn, I knew about the Neko-ken from the manga/anime and thought it was kind of funny but to hear from Ranma's mouth and describe what happened is another. Sounded like a goddamn horror movie, I'll never look at cats the same way again. If I didn't like Genma before I'm going to Fucking Murder him now.'
Seeing Ranma on the ground on his knees retelling his story Gudako couldn't help but see the sad look on his face so she got down and hugged Ranma while rubbing his back. Ryoga couldn't find the usual anger he had for Ranma after hearing that story. Even he felt bad for Ranma so decided to simply follow Gudako's lead and give Ranma a half hug.
When Ranma feels two bodies wrap their arms around him it jolts him to notice both of his new friends hugging him. 'Emiya, even Ryoga is hugging me. I haven't been hugged since I was 6 when that old lady took care of me after the Neko-ken training.'
After a moment Ranma noticed his face was watering. When he touched his face he noticed he was crying. "What? This can't be tears? I'm not crying real men don't cry." As Ranma tries to wipe away the tears.
Gudako seeing this grabs Ranma's face and looks him in the eye. "Ranma it is okay to cry, everyone cries Ranma it shows that we care. A man who never cries Ranma is an uncaring monster who doesn't care about anyone else but himself. So cry let it all out it doesn't matter if anyone is watching as long as we are here Ranma because we are your friends Ranma and we care about you." Gudako then gives him a heartwarming smile.
The moment Ranma saw those sunset eyes and smile he was mesmerized and listened to every word Gudako said. After that Ranma couldn't help but cry, truly cry in his friend's arms no longer feeling ashamed for his tears.
After a couple of minutes, Ranma starts to calm down. Gudako and Ryoga then get up and help their friend up as well.
"Are you okay?" asked Ryoga.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I feel much better now like a weight just came off my shoulder." Said Ranma wiping away few tears.
"That's good Ranma crying is a good way to relieve stress." Said Gudako as she flashes him another heartwarming smile.
'Wow, when Emiya smiles like that he really looks cute. Wait what am I thinking he is a guy I shouldn't be thinking such things.' Thought Ranma.
"Well guys come on we stayed in this alley long enough let's go." Said Gudako as she leads them to Hibiki's House.
A few minutes later the three arrive at the gate to Hibiki's House. "Welcome to Hibiki Manor, the greatest house in all Japan." Said Gudako.
"It's not a manor Gudako we don't have that much land." Said Ryoga.
"Yeah yeah I know but still sounds better than Hibiki house." Said Gudako.
Ranma was speechless for a moment when he laid eyes on their house. 'It looks like rich person house. I can't believe Ryoga's family is really this loaded. If Pops saw this he definitely tries to steal everything nailed down to the ground. Aw man and I still have to tell them about what Pops wanted me to do oh this isn't going to end well. I just got the two greatest friends I could have ever asked for.'
"Well guys this is a nice place and all but I should be going but there is something I need to tell you it concerns my Pops." Said Ranma.
This catches both of the other teen's attention as they wait silently for Ranma to continue.
Ranma fidgets a bit. "Well guys I know you want to invite me to your house tomorrow to spar but you see my Pops asked me to ask you to let him in to supervise over our match as well get to know the family of my new friends." Said Ranma as he scratches his head embarrassingly.
Gudako had a blank look on her face while Ryoga had an incredulous one who looked like he was about to blow a gasket. Before Ryoga could do so Gudako spoke up.
"We will ask Momma Krista if she is fine with letting your father into our house Ranma. Just a word of warning to your father Ranma he better be on his best behavior. Both Papa Kazuma and Uncle Ryuho should be back tomorrow, if they don't make it back Uncle Straight Cougar will be there and just so you know the three of them are some of the strongest people on the planet so if your father makes trouble they will kill him." Gudako said that last part with a malicious smile.
"Oh, Ranma don't worry about your father. Any negative action he takes won't be reflected on you. After all, you are our friend Ranma and no matter what happens we will be friends till the day we die promise." Gudako then lifts up her pinkie finger to Ranma as Ryoga does the same.
Ranma was speechless that both Gudako and Ryoga had heard his story but despite everything they still wish to be his friend. Ranma now crying tears of joy raises his pinky finger crossing it with both Gudako and Ryoga promising to be friends forever.
After their tear felt moment Ranma says goodbye as he heads home. While the other two head inside the house. While this was going on a bald man wearing a bandanna on his head was watching the whole thing.
"Arrgh I can't believe my boy actually started to cry like a little girl! After all these years of training the boy to be a man amongst man for him to cry like a little girl! Uargh this is that entire pretty boy's fault, that punk is turning my boy into a weakling. I won't stand for this Something needs to be done." Genma then looks to the Hibiki House.
"Hmm the Hibiki do look pretty loaded I already tried breaking I mean entering in before but the stupid dog kept on attacking me. Even when I was using Umi-senken the damn dog kept catching me. Not to mention the sick feeling I got the few times I entered the property." Genma then starts thinking a bit.
"Hmm, I wonder if they have a daughter. If they do it shouldn't be hard to convince the Hibiki's that Ranma would make a great son-in-law seeing as their sons get along with him well. I'm sure I'll get a nice dowry for my trouble then I can just steal I mean borrow a few things and use it to pay off the Kujo so they don't cut off my head. Still can't believe how old man Kujo move so fast and easily beat me. Perhaps he is an old friend of the Master, yeah that must be it."
"Well once I take the dowry and pay the Kujo off I can finally split town with Ranma. I still need to train him to be a man amongst men so he can marry my old friends Tendo's daughter so I can get that well-earned retirement." Said Genma.
Back at Hibiki Manor the two teens now enter the house. "Hey, Ryoga we have to tell Momma Krista about Ranma's father." Said Gudako.
"Yeah I know, I can believe anyone could have a father like that. Seriously what woman would actually marry a man like that." Said Ryoga.
"Actually you already met the woman who married that man." Said Gudako
"Huh I did who?" asked Ryoga.
Gudako signs as she unties her hair letting her hair loose now that she does have to keep the tomboy look up."You really don't remember, do you? When Momma No came here she introduced herself as Nodoka Saotome. She is Ranma's mother. And I sure you remember her story when we were in that park remember."
Ryoga then thinks of everything concerning Nodoka. "Oh, your right I can't believe I forgot that. But still, I've been living with Ranma's mother all this time." Said Ryoga as he scratches his head.
"Yes you were now come on we have to inform Momma Krista and just maybe Mom too." The two then make their way to the Master suite where Krista is at. As they walk into the room they see Krista is just about to change the twin's diapers.
"Oh good you two are back home you two don't mind changing the babies diapers will you? I really could use a break." Said Krista.
"Of course momma we don't mind I'll change Ryuto while Ryoga changes Yoiko." Gudako then walks over to Ryuto laying on the bed While Ryoga looks at Gudako with a confused look.
"Wait why do I have to change my sister's diaper? Shouldn't I change Ryuto?" asked Ryoga.
"Normally yes but I been neglecting Ryuto in favor of Yoiko and I know he been wanted to play with me so I spending time with him. You should do the same with your sister Ryo-Oniichan." Said Gudako.
Ryoga deciding to simply do as she says and changes his sister's diaper when they finish they sit next to Krista with the babies on their lap.
Baby giggles "Aw you are just so cute aren't you little guy." Ryuto makes baby noises as he tries to touch Gudako's face. "Aw, you must really like your big sister, don't you? I bet you like me more than Ryoga don't you." Ryuto giggles. "Aw, I knew I was right. You love me best yes you do." Gudako then makes a bunch of funny faces at Ryuto making him laugh.
Ryoga, on the other hand, was trying his best to entertain his sister but she kept on looking in Gudako's direction. "Come on Yoiko your big brother is right here." Ryoga tries everything he can think of to get her attention but she keeps on looking at Gudako while reaching her hands out as if trying to reach her. Ryoga seeing this knew who Yoiko really wanted so with a crestfallen expression he picks up his sister and takes her over to Gudako.
"Gudako here Yoiko really wanted to see you." Said Ryoga as he hands Yoiko over to Gudako Yoiko starts to giggle with Gudako now holding her. Gudako takes notice of Ryoga's crestfallen expression and holds both babies in each arm then walks up to Ryoga a whisper in his ear.
"I know I said I like both the little munchkin best but between you and me I like you more than them both combined. Just don't tell them okay." Gudako then gives Ryoga a kiss on the cheek then heads over back to Krista.
While Ryoga was standing there with one hand holding his cheek that Gudako kissed Krista who was watching everything couldn't help but smirk. 'Those two are really getting along. The little ones seem to really like Gudako-chan more than Ryo-chan. I guess that was to be expected who doesn't like Gudako-chan. I'm sure they'll warm up to Ryo-chan eventually.' Thought Krista.
Gudako then sits down next to Krista placing both babies in-between them. "Hey, Momma we need to talk about Ranma coming over tomorrow."
"Yes what is it did something happened?" asked Krista. Gudako then explains everything that happened while they were walking home together not omitting anything.
"So let me get this straight. Ranma asked if he can let his father the same man who stole from the last family who let him in and not to mention threw his son into a pit of hungry cats." Gudako just nods. "Well if I didn't like the bastard before I'm going to rip out is GODDAMN INTESTINES AND STRANGLE HIM WITH IT! Yelled Krista as she starts to show her she-devil side.
Gudako tries to calm the babies down after Krista's little outburst. Ryoga after hearing that snaps out of his stupor and walks over to the group. "Oh, sorry dears I got carried away. Uh if I acted like that I wonder how Nodoka will handle this news." Said Krista.
"Are we actually going to tell her about this?" asked Ryoga.
"Yes dear, I was planning on telling Nodoka tonight anyway about her son. I can't keep the whereabouts of her son away from her any longer. She deserves to know." said Krista.
"Even the stuff about the Neko-ken." Asked Ryoga.
"Unfortunately yes, we just have to be there for her when we tell her the news." Said Krista. The three then start heading over to Nodoka's room where she is quietly reading a book.
Nodoka seeing the three enter her room notice the expressions on their faces. "Did something happen Krista?" Gudako and Ryoga sit down on the bed with the twins as Krista stands in front of Nodoka.
"Nodoka there is something we need to talk about and it concerns your son." Said Krista.
"What about my son? Have you found him?" asked Nodoka anxiously.
"Yes in a way we did. It looks like Gudako-chan and Ryo-chan are classmates with your son Nodoka. And before you ask where is he will be here tomorrow. The kids invited him over to spar with him." Said Krista.
"Oh, what joy my manly son is coming home." Happily exclaimed Nodoka as she gets up and does a victory dance as much as an 8-month pregnant woman could do.
"Now settle down Nodoka there is more to this story than that so you might want to sit down for this." After Nodoka settles down Krista tells Nodoka everything Gudako told her earlier unedited. When she was done Nodoka was unusually quiet.
"Nodoka are you okay?" asked Krista.
"It my fault it's all my fault, I gave him Ranma. I gave him my boy. How could I have given my boy to that man no that MONSTER!" screamed Nodoka as tears were running down her face.
"It is not your fault Nodoka. You didn't know he would do this to your son." Said, Krista, as she tries to comfort her friend.
"But I still gave him Ranma! I might as well have thrown him into that pit of cats myself. How can I ever forgive myself for this? I don't deserve to be a mother I don't deserve to be happy with Kazu-Kun." Cried Nodoka.
"No don't ever say that No-chan. You of all people deserve to be a mother and have a loving family. The only one who doesn't deserve to be a parent is that bastard Genma." Said, Krista, as she hugs her best friend. While the two were hugging Gudako and Ryoga ended up joining in with the hug with the twins still in their arms. Even the babies gave Nodoka a hug. They ended up hugging each other for while letting Nodoka cry it all out before they finally separated.
"Are you feeling better now Nodoka?" asked Krista.
"Yes Krista, and thank you, everyone, for being there for me." Said Nodoka. The rest just nod.
"Now Nodoka we have much to discuss what we are going to do about Genma. I think we can agree we are not letting him keep Ranma another day longer. We need to plan what to do when both of them arrive tomorrow." Said Krista. Nodoka nods her head as she looks at her sword laying on the dresser her hands clenching.
Krista seeing where Nodoka's eyes landed shook her head. "Nodoka I know what you're thinking. If I was in your shoes I would be doing the same thing but you're in no condition to fight Genma. You are 8 months pregnant; you will be having a baby in a few more weeks. That baby is your first priority."
Nodoka then looks down to her very much pregnant belly and rubs it. "You don't have to worry Nodoka, Kazuma and Ryuho will be back tomorrow Evening at the latest. I also plan on calling my big brother Straight here just in case." Said Krista. Nodoka just nods.
After a while, the two teens head downstairs in the living room giving the adults some time alone. They end up playing with the twins a while until Krista and Nodoka come down. Krista heads to the kitchen to start dinner while Nodoka goes to the living room to sit on the couch. Gudako seeing the still sad face on Nodoka walks over to her with Ryuto in her arms.
"Mom no matter what happens I glad you became my mother." Said Gudako as she hugs Nodoka. Nodoka couldn't help but respond back by hugging the little redhead kissing her on her forehead. "And I'm glad you became my Daughter Gudako-chan."
After about half an hour Krista calls them over for dinner. Dinner was a quiet affair as everyone had tomorrow on their minds. When it was finished everyone went their separate ways. It wasn't long after that night started to settle in so everyone started getting ready for bed.
As Gudako is laying in her bed she can't help but think what's going to happen tomorrow. "Well looks like tomorrow is the big day. I wonder how we should deal with Genma. Should we beat the crap out of him? Most definitely, should we cut off his limbs, maybe. Should we straight up murder the bastard? Guess we will leave it up to Nodoka."
"I wonder if I should be worried if I get rid of Genma then Ranma will have no reason to go in China to get his curse which means no Ranma-chan. Meh, who am I kidding I just use Ryoga's sense of direction to get us to Jusenkyo then kick Ranma in then boom Ranma-chan the best girl in this whole series is born. I always did have a small crush on Ranma-chan, she was the main reason I even watched the show. It's also why I liked Ryoga I always thought those two would make a better couple then that stupid bitch Akane who barely changed at all throughout the show. I mean come on those two were perfect for each other the way they fought each other forcing the other to improve."
Gudako signs then flip the covers over her getting ready to sleep. "Well besides my favorite pairing on this show I glad I wiggled my way into both of there hearts. It will make it easier to make them do stuff for me like kill someone without so much as batting an eye. I plan on bringing those two with me to other worlds and I don't need them pussyfooting. They need to be able to kill a man without any remorse or else they won't survive very long. Man, I am such a great friend aren't I."
With that, the redhead falls asleep dreaming about the future when she figuratively if not literally fucks Ranma's and Ryoga's minds.
A/N: Well looks like I was able to finish a chapter after all. Strange I was drawing a blank all week on what to write and I only started this Saturday. I surprised even myself. Well, I hope everyone who is reading this has enjoyed the story so far. Because I have no idea where I'm going with this. I'm just making stuff up as I go along hoping it will come out all right.
