Ryoko looked at the entrance of the cave she could never forget. She remembered the loneliness she felt as she was trapped there for seven hundred years. She shook her head slowly. 'Those seven hundred weren't as bad as the last ten. And here I thought things couldn't get worse as I stayed in there. What a fool I was.'
Katsuhito watched Ryoko as she reminisced. "There's nothing special about this cave. Just some old rocks lying around."
Ryoko slightly smirked. "Really? So why the legend?"
"I'm sure there was other things in there ages ago." Katsuhito rubbed his chin in thought. "Maybe some seals here and there. I'm sure there probably was a small shrine in there once."
"Probably put there by your ancestor," Ryoko remarked. "Probably had to make something to show other people how important he was." Ryoko smiled. "Men like him probably needed flashy things to compensate for... other areas," she said while patting her hip.
Now it was Katsuhito's turn to strain a smile. "I'm sure that wasn't the case."
Ryoko shrugged. "Well... they did like carrying those long swords. Maybe that was another way to"
"It is geting a bit late out," Katsuhito interupted. "Maybe you want to come inside for dinner?"
Ryoko shook her head. "I think I'll pass. I have other matters to attend to." Ryoko smiled a plesant smile. "It was nice meeting you." Ryoko left with a small smirk on her face.
Katsuhito watched Ryoko leave. 'I wonder what she's up to. She didn't come on strong, she was pleasant, didn't make any demands, and was actaully a bit fun to talk to.' Katsuhito rubbed his chin in thought. 'Nothing like the Ryoko I remember. Did she actually grow up or something? This bears futher investigation.'

Ranma has a small list of people he truly did not like. It included Genma, Kuno, Thor, every Amazon, every Musk... well maybe it was a rather large list. This woman sitting in front of him drinking tea was quickly rising on that list. Ranma could tell she was the one who had him kidnapped. Now she has the gall to look like some holier-than-thou royal and drink tea with exaggerated grace that made him sick. He wanted to tell her off but he decided to wait until she stated what she wanted and then he'll tell her to kiss off.
Ayeka drank her tea letting Ryoko simmer. Ayeka knew Ryoko didn't have a lot of patience and grace. Brazen hussies like her can't appreciate the finer things in life. It pleased Ayeka to see Ryoko under her control, helpless and angry. Call it part of the payback for what Ryoko did to Jurai.
Ayeka decided that was time to find out where her brother was. "How are you felling? I hope my guardians were not too rough with you while transporting you here."
Ranma sneared. "I've had better. Now what do you want? Why did you kidnap me!"
Ayeka stood up and walked up to the captive. "Now, now, let's not get angry. What I want is simple. Tell me where my brother and I'll let you go."
Ranma looked confused. "Excuse me?"
"My brother Yosho. Tell me where he is."
Ranma looked at Ayeka like she was crazy. "Listen lady, I have no idea who you're talking about! Now let me go!"
Ayeka slightly growled. "Stop playing games. You know exactly who I'm talking about. Now where is he?" Ayeka shouted.
"They have places for people like you, you know. It's called a mental hospital."
Ayeka was quickly losing patience. "Damn it Ryoko tell me where my brother is or so help me"
"Did you say Ryoko?"
Ayeka was caught off guard by Ranma's question. "Wha?"
"Listen lady my name's not Ryoko. My name's Ranma. Ran-ma. Not Ryo-ko. Ran-ma."
Ayeka looked at Ranma dumbfounded. "Computer. Scan her."
Ranma saw a weird... thing come out of the ground and went over him with a purple light. "What was that?"
Ayeka ignored Ranma's question and looked at the computer monitor which stated that indeed the woman before him was not Ryoko. "How is this possible?" Ayeka called up a picture of Ryoko. "Do you know this woman by any chance?"
Ranma growled and was about to tell her off but the picture surprised him. "Hey, that's my mom." The picture Ayeka had was taken when Ryoko had decimated Jurai. It showed Ryoko with smoke and fire all around her. She was wearing her black and red armor and had glowing red eyes. "Wow. She looks cool in this shot."
Ayeka didn't hear the last comment. Her mind was busy trying to figure out how in the world Ryoko had a daughter. "Y-y-you're related to that demon woman!"
Ranma looked insulted. "Hey, don't call my mom that you uncute tomboy!"
A vein popped out of Ayeka's forehead. "What did you just call me?"
Ranma smirked. "Actually I think that's rather fitting. Yeah, that's my nickname for you. Uncute Tomboy. Sounds like a winner to me."
Ayeka pulled out a small device she used to open the prision cells with. It was made from the wood of Jurian trees. "I think I've heard enough." Ayeka pressed the device against Ranma which shot a powerful jolt of electricity through him.
Ranma was no stranger to pain. Genma put him through plenty in his life. The pain he was feeling now made what Genma did to him feel like baby taps. It was the most intense feeling he's ever felt, and most unpleasant. Ranma yelled loudly as the electricity ran through him. He soon passed out from the pain.
Ayeka put the device back in her pocket. "So the demon spawned." Ayeka smirked. "We can use this to our advantage."

Ryoko returned to the inn feeling slightly satisified. 'Just work the old charm on him for a while and soon I'll start asking to see the sword.' Ryoko smirked. 'After that convince him to give me one of the gems. Just got to be patient.'
As soon as Ryoko entered the inn she quickly spotted the Tendo girls who looked upset. This worried Ryoko. "What's wrong?"
Nabiki quickly spotted her aunt. "Auntie Ryoko! Ranma's been kidnapped!"
This made Ryoko very afraid. "W-what?"
"There were two giant logs," Akane explained. "They... they flew around and when they saw Ranma they... absorbed him."
Ryoko's knees grew weak and she collapsed. She knew exactly who had Ranma. Only the Jurains used any technology that used logs and wood. And only one Jurain would track her down and try to get at her. "Ayeka."
The girls ran up to Ryoko when she collapsed. They heard Ryoko mutter Ayeka. "Auntie, who's Ayeka?" Kasumi asked.
Ryoko looked at Kasumi. "Has there been any other weird things flying around."
Before the girls could answer a small wood orb appeared in front of them. The orb then produced a light which ran over Ryoko. "Ryoko found. Please stand by." After a second the log turned upward and projected a video screen in mid air showing Ayeka's face.
Ryoko growled. "Ayeka."
Ayeka smiled. "Ah, Ryoko, so nice to see you. It's been too long."
"Where's Ranma?"
Ayeka dropped her smile. "Oh, you mean you're spawn? She's asleep at the moment." She stepped to the side to reveal an unconscious Ranma crumpled in a cell. "I'll tell her you asked about her."
Ryoko stood up and stood directly in front of the screen. "Don't get smart with me. Let him go!"
Ayeka looked confused. "Him?"
"Pour some warm water on him and you'll see."
Ayeka looked slightly confused but decided to do so. Ranma not only woke up but also changed back to a male.
Ayeka looked shocked. "How?"
Ranma ignored the tomboy and ran up to the bars. "Mom! What's going on here? Who is this crazy bitch!"
Ryoko smiled. "Don't worry about a thing Ranma. I have this covered." Ryoko turned her attention back to Ayeka. "Let him go. He has nothing to do with anything. It's me you want."
Ayeka came out of her shock. "True, but it's not exactly you that I want. The terms of his release are simple. Tell me where my brother is. When I verify that what you say is true then I'll let your child go."
Ryoko looked directly at Ayeka. "I don't know where he is."
Ayeka narrowed her eyes. "Don't lie to me. Tell me where Yosho is!"
"I'm telling the truth. I don't know where he is."
"Liar!" Ayeka yelled. "You were the last person to see my brother. Now tell me where he is!"
"The last time I saw him was seven hundred years ago!" Ryoko yelled back. "I was trapped in a cave since then. I just got out eighteen years ago. I haven't seen him."
Ayeka stared at Ryoko with a piercing gaze. "And you expect me to believe such a story."
"It's the truth."
Ayeka stood there staring at Ryoko. "It seems we are not getting anywhere. Fine then, until you're ready to talk I'll hold on to Ranma. I advise against hiding Ryoko, unless you never want to see your son again. Until we meet again." The screen disappeared and the orb flew off.
Ryoko growled as the orb left. "Oh yes, there will be a next time. Just not the way you want it." Ryoko teleported away.
The three girls watched everything dumbfounded. When Ryoko disappeared they snapped out of their stupor. "What's going on?" Akane asked out loud.
Nabiki went up to the driveway where Auntie parked the van. The old lady who ran the inn was standing next to the van. "Excuse me ma'am. Did you see which way our aunt came from when she got back?"
The old lady shook her head. "No, but I know she came from the old Masaki shrine. She asked which way it was when she left earlier today."
"Where is that?" Nabiki quickly asked.
The old woman pointed off to the distance. "Just drive that way. You'll reach a small sign stating you're there after about twenty miles."
Nabiki nodded as she got in the van. Kasumi and Akane got in as well before the van sped off. They didn't know if their aunt would be at the shrine but it was the only clue they had at the moment and they didn't like the look auntie had before she left. They were afraid that she was about to do something... rash.
Meanwhile Ryoga woke up from the nap he took while inside the hot spring. "That was a nice nap. Wonder where everybody is."

Until next time, Peace!
