'Thoughts'

(Author notes)

I don't own Ranma ½

Last time

"Hello?" he asked into the receiver. Nabiki held a hand up to tell everyone to be quiet as they listened.

"It's me" a male voice replied back

Senshi's eyes narrowed as he spoke "How did you get this number?"

"I have my ways, but that's beside the point. I have a job for you." The voice said smugly. The eavesdropping group looked at each other in confusion as they tried to figure out what was going on.

Senshi's voice was cold, colder than anything they had ever heard him use before. "What kind of job?" he asked stiffly.

"A cleaning job of course" the voice said nonchalantly.

Bloody past

Senshi frowned as he began to pace "I don't do those jobs anymore." He stated stiffly once more. "I told you when I left that I quit."

"HAHAHAHA that's a good one my boy! You…quit? HA! Laughable the day you quit is the day pigs fly! There is nothing you do better than cleaning." The voice was dark and none of the eavesdroppers liked his tone.

Senshi's eyes narrowed "That maybe true but I am serious when I say that I quit. I saw the documents…Kage. You had my parents killed because they left the organization."

The man called Kage growled before he spoke again. "I don't know what you are talking about. Now…come back home Kousen" the voice was smug as if he was sure that Senshi would follow his orders.

"DON'T FUCK WITH ME! I SAW YOUR DOCUMENTS KAGE! YOU ORDERED THE ASSASSINATION OF MY PARENTS IN ORDER TO GET ME INTO THE ORGANIZATION; YOU COULDN'T HAVE THEM SO YOU GOT RID OF THEM AND TOOK THEIR ONLY SON! I FUCKING BELIEVED YOU WHEN YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU'D HELP ME TRACK DOWN M PARENTS' KILLERS!" Senshi took a deep breath to calm himself down "When I first found out I couldn't believe it so I left hang up now and I will forget this ever happened, however, if you do anything to anger me…I will track you down…and I…will…kill…you."

He could hear the man shift around in his seat and then a heavy sigh. "You're just like your parents, sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. A pity you were the best we've ever had and now you'll be killed just like your worthless father and whore of a mother."

Senshi snarled as he spoke his voice laced with contempt "I'd like to see you try bastard; like you said I was your best none of the others can kill me. Say your prayers Kage, I'll see you soon" with that said he slammed the phone down cutting the connection. "Damn it this is all happening too soon." He mumbled softly.

Slowly the amazons and Nana peeked around the corner "Sen-chan…are you okay?" Nana asked in concern for her younger brother. Slowly everyone began to walk into the room and sat around Senshi who had taken to sitting on the couch as he rested his head in his hands.

"No I'm not okay…my past has finally caught up to me. I thought I left those days behind me, the fights, the experiments, the blood, the killing." Silently and unbidden tears began streaking down Senshi's face to which the Amazons quickly began to comfort him. "That man…Kage, orchestrated the deaths of our parents Nana-nee. Once I found out I walked away, never looked back and I swore an oath, if he ever approached me or my family again…I'd kill him."

Ranma and Akane shared worried glances with each other as everyone sat there worried expressions on their faces. "Yo, Senshi you serious about killing him?" he asked sternly "I mean those are heavy words for someone to say." Many heads nodded in agreement.

"Yeah sugar, killing is a bit out there isn't it?" Ukyo asked as she shifted around uncomfortably in her seat.

Senshi glanced around at everyone and sighed "It is, but…it's what I'm trained to do." His tone was dark and it sent shivers down everyone's spine. "From the age of six when I left my sisters, I left to join a company who told me they could help me find the people who killed my parents. Being as naïve as I was I trusted them and allowed them to train me. They fed me lies, told me it was a secret order of Assassins who did it. They convinced me that to kill an Assassin I needed to become an Assassin, so I was trained in their arts." He took a breath and was about to continue when the phone rang again.

Glancing around he got up and answered it. "Hello?" he asked in as cheery a voice as he could muster.

"SHUUJUKU SENSHIMARU WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED TSUBASA AND I WERE WHEN YOU DIDN'T COME BACK?"

Having held the receiver away from his ear Senshi coughed into his hands once to get her attention. "Maki-nee-san how did you get this number?"

He could hear grumbling on the other side of the line "I got help from the Masaki family some of Tenchi-kun's new friends were able to track you."

Senshi nodded his head "Listen is Tsubasa-nee-san with you? If she is I need to two to stay with the Masakis the organization 'Shadow Company' is after me and I don't want you two in danger because of me. I'm sure that you with your contacts within the government know about them."

"Senshi-kun what have you gotten yourself into? Those are some big name enemies you've made there." He could here the worry in her voice grimacing he answered her.

"They were the ones who ordered our parents killed Onee-san. I'm determined to destroy them even if I have to do it alone." Senshi was serious and he knew that Maki knew that.

He could hear her sigh "You're not alone Senshi-kun. When you have the time come on by I have some items you can use." With that said she hung up leaving a smiling Senshi.

"I knew I could count on you Maki-nee." He muttered as he set the receiver down. "Alright Maki-nee-san and Tsubasa-nee, are safe with the Masaki family I've seen the boy, Tenchi, take on armed soldiers before they should be alright. Still I'll be dropping by their place sometime in the future to pick up whatever Maki-nee has for me."

Nabiki ran a hand through her hair as she sighed "Senshi-kun what is 'Shadow Company'?"

Senshi closed his eyes and breathed deeply "They are…" he struggled to find the proper words. "They are Sociopaths. They dream of world domination, their enemies the Assassins have been waging a war on them for an unlisted amount of time. From what I managed to learn from the few documents I leafed through the Assassins have already destroyed the two key components of whatever plan Shadow Company had, and now they look to rule through force, they build their forces in order to hunt down and eliminate the Assassins, after they succeed they will force the nations of the world to bow before them. I was content to let the Assassins finish them off, but now…it looks like the Assassins have an ally in me."

Everyone just stared at him in shock "Are you serious?" Nabiki asked after a while. When Senshi nodded she threw back her head and sighed "This is huge, not something like the occasional kidnapping of Akane when some deranged Lunatic comes through here."

Ranma nodded his head "This is big Senshi; you'll need all the help you can get." He smirked as he pointed to himself with his thumb "Don't worry I'll help you out with this." There were many nods as the Amazons and Ukyo agreed.

Ukyo sighed as she polished her spatula "Can you tell us anymore about Shadow Company?"

Senshi nodded his head. "Yeah they have the military strength of a small army. That's not the main concern though there are other fighters like me trained in assassination like I was. Their codenames are: Gokai, Yoku, Doki, Bushou, Netami, Gougan, and Houshoku." He paused to see if anyone caught onto the allusion.

Akane looked up in surprise as she whispered "The seven deadly sins…the other assassins are named after the seven deadly sins." Her revelation cast a spell of silence over the group as they went over the information.

"Airen… Do these…assassins act as alias say?" Mei Ling asked as she and the other amazons began to shift around in restlessness.

Senshi stood and began to walk towards the Kitchen "They do…be careful walking the streets from now on…they are all at about Ryouga's level of fighting ability if not better. And that's not even taking into consideration their Methods or Operations."

Everyone tilted their heads to the sides and repeated the words in a questioning tone. "Methods of Operations?" Slowly Senshi nodded his head.

"Yeah the way they do things, each of the seven sins kill their targets in a way similar to the idea of the sin they represent. Gokai uses sex appeal to lure targets, Netami turns others against each other through their envy, Yoku tricks others into killing for something they want, Doki works himself into a fit of anger and goes on a killing spree, Bushou sets up intricate plans being too lazy to kill the person himself, Houshoku poisons food, and Gougan simply walks in and kills the person being too prideful to stick to the shadows like an Assassin should."

Shampoo watched Senshi carefully as her eyes narrowed "What of you, what your method?"

Senshi chuckled before he answered her "Mine you ask? My method was war itself. Any possible way to kill another person during a war…I've done. My codename, Kousen, is just as literal as the other seven I am war incarnate." Suddenly the tears came again "Damn it every time I talk about this shit I start tearing up." He mumbled. Flashes of hundreds of bodies filled his vision, the sounds of the pleas for mercy and gunfire filled his ears, and the smell of death, blood, and burnt flesh filled his nostrils. "I can still remember everything I've done so clearly…it hurts."

The amazons and Nabiki were quick to comfort him as he slowly stood up "Anyways, since it has come to this I have something to give everyone." Beckoning them to follow him he began to walk away. Stopping in front of a painting of the last supper he pushed in the face of Jesus which triggered something as the wall began to shift revealing Senshi's own little armory. "These body armors will become invisible when in contact with your skin; I want each of you to wear this from now on. They will give you much needed protection against bullets and swords." Stepping back he allowed everyone to pick one and try them on.

Ranma being who he was opted to try them out first and quickly put it on in the restroom noticing it looked like a normal undershirt and walked out after redressing in his normal clothes "Wow, I barely feel it!" his voice was laced with appreciation as he began to hop around to get a feel for it. Suddenly Senshi punched him in the gut with enough force to knock him backwards. "What the hell that…didn't hurt." Surprised by the fact he rubbed his stomach and was surprised not to feel any bit of soreness from the impact. "Damn this is good armor." Ranma whispered in awe.

When they saw its effectiveness everyone else was quick to grab their own set. However, before any of them could begin to test them out Senshi gave them one last warning "Just remember all armor has a weakness, this one's weakness is the fact that it only protects the shins, forearms, and body. Your heads, hands, and feet are still vulnerable. One last thing these will not stop an impact it may not penetrate but it can still hurt the fact that Ranma felt nothing from my punch is merely a testament of his own skill. Had it been Nabiki for example she'd still be in pain simply due to the pressure of the blow but the actual blow itself is softened." Seeing as many were still confused he simplified it. "Think about it like this, if a blow to your chest was normally strong enough to break a few ribs, then when you wear this armor it's only enough to knock the wind out of you."

"So basically best chance against armor wearer would be to aim for unprotected spots like head or use hand to hand combat." Turning to face the speaker, who happened to be Mei Szu, Senshi nodded his head.

"Yes sadly the people working on this project had their funding cut before they could finish I had already purchased these sets when the plug was pulled on them." He looked somewhat sad but it passed just as quickly as it appeared. Once everyone had one he nodded his head and pushed a button that resealed the room. "Alright that will give you some protection, but be careful I don't know how long it will take for them to send people after me. I'll see you all later." Quietly and quickly he pushed them all out of his house and locked the door.

The five amazons glanced at each other before they began pounding on the door along with Nana "Hey let us back in! We live here too!" they shouted in both Mandarin and Japanese. Chuckling the others left to their own places of residence to think over what they had learned.

Unknown to any there two shadows quietly slipped away from the house and appeared on a nearby rooftop. Happosai grimaced "Not good I've faced the people after Senshi before. At the very least they have about five fighters as strong as I am."

The person he spoke too sighed heavily "It seems I will have to up the training of my six Warriors doesn't it Happy?" The cackling voice of Cologne asked as she narrowed her eyes.

"I am afraid so Cologne-chan and I will have to start seriously training Ranma and Akane, yes even Akane it is time to see if she is truly the martial artist she claims to be."

"Happy I think we will need to pay young Senshi here a visit tonight I do believe he plans to run away again to keep them safe. We cannot allow that, this group is already knee deep in this mess they will need him to protect them when the time comes." Cologne turned and began to pogo away.

Happosai stared a bit longer at the house before he jumped into the Tendo's home. "I believe you're right Cologne-chan." He muttered as he walked into his room and calmly put away all of his little 'Treasures' deciding that he couldn't afford to be distracted during the coming troubles. "So annoying." He mumbled under his breath.

Later that night

Happosai waited patiently for Cologne on top of Senshi's house smoking a pipe "Where is she?" he mumbled in an annoyed manner after his pipe had ran out. It was then that she came into view next to him. "About damn time you got here, I ran out of tobacco."

Cologne gave him an undignified snort "Like you'll have any trouble getting more you old pervert." She said blandly as they both made their way into the house being careful not to set off any alarms that Senshi had set up.

Senshi sighed sadly as he packed away the last of his belongings. "I guess I can't stay here." He mumbled to himself as he stood in front of the door having already rigged the cameras and microphones to play back never ending loops. "Heh Nabiki…trying to find more about me eh?" he muttered out loud. Sighing once more he opened the door to his room "With me gone…everyone will be safe none of them will have to suffer for my past sins." With that said he began to make his way towards the door. He was just about to reach the handle of the front door when a voiced spoke up from behind him.

"Going somewhere boy?" Happosai asked in a relaxed tone as he sat on Senshi's couch.

"Jiji, what are you doing here?" Senshi asked as he turned around to face the old man. His face was impassive as he folded his arms over his chest.

Cologne stepped into view as she answered Senshi's question "We are here to keep you from making a mistake Senshi-kun"

"Indeed do you plan on just leaving like this without as much as a goodbye? You should know how the Amazons after your heart will take it if they wake up to find you gone." Happosai raised an eyebrow as he waited for Senshi to answer him.

Senshi glanced around before staring each elder in the eye "This is for the best, I can't drag anyone in to this. This is my fight and no one else's" he turned around and reached for the door again. "Now if you'll excuse me I have to go."

Cologne spoke up once more forcing him to stop "Senshi, why do you insist on fighting these people on your own? You have an excellent host of fighters willing to aid you yet you insist on fighting alone, why?"

Glancing over his shoulder Senshi stared into Cologne's eyes with an unreadable look. "I fight alone because it will keep everyone else safe, Shadow Company will stop at nothing to kill me. I will not put the lives of my friends in danger."

Happosai grunted in annoyance "Senshi…I've fought these enemies of yours myself you can't win against them on your own. You are going to need the help of others if you wish to have a chance against them." He stood up and pulled out his pipe. "And if you aren't going to listen to reason, then I have no choice." He flicked his finger forward and let his pipe leave his grasp.

Senshi watched it fall only to widen his eyes when he saw what is was going to land on. 'No that triggers the alarms!' he thought to himself. He began to move but it was already too late. The pipe had already hit the trigger sounding his built in alarm system effectively waking up the entire block.

Barely a minute later, the five Amazons, who were living with him, were in the room fully dressed and armed for battle. Two minutes after that Ranma came busting through the front door followed by Akane and Nabiki. "What's going on?" Ranma shouted as he looked around.

Cologne cackled a bit as she pointed a bony finger at Senshi "Nothing Muko-dono, Senshi-kun here was just trying to sneak away from the neighborhood when you kids came over." She began to cackle again as everyone turned towards Senshi.

"This is my problem I don't need you guys sticking your necks out for me!" he glared at her as he grabbed his bag and turned to leave. "I have to leave the company's men are probably on the move already." With his piece said he began to walk away only to stop as he felt someone grab a hold of his cloak. Glancing behind him he saw Mei Ling holding onto him with tears in her eyes.

"Airen why you run?" she shouted as she buried her head into his back. "Please you no leave us…not when we finally together." Glancing at the other four Amazons he saw tears in their eyes as they quickly made their way towards him.

"We help you against bad people." Ai Sha whispered into his ears as she ran a calming hand through his hair, as the others nodded in agreement.

Ranma stood p straight and rubbed his neck "Don't forget me, Senshi I got your back." He grinned as Akane was quick to agree with him as she offered her own aid. Nabiki smiled as she nodded her head.

Nana and Ryouga, who only got the gist of what was going on; as she had to guide Ryouga in the right direction quickly agreed, with the others and offered their aid as well. "Sen-chan I want to help too they killed our parents it's only fitting that we see their demise."

Senshi's eyes softened as he took all of this in "You guys…" he trailed off unable to put his feelings into words as a small smile made its way onto his face. "Thank you, all of you. Now, I think I should pay Maki-nee a visit we'll need to prepare."

Alright I know I haven't updated in a while but, well school is hard right now. I'm not going into any details about this.

Anyways I want everyone to know that I am a very slow updater during the school year, for those who hadn't already figured it out yet.

Future story ideas: (note: all of these won't be considered until after I actually finish one of my current stories.)

Flee to Shinjuku – a Ranma/Get Backers crossover sequel to 'With New Neighbors Come New Adventures'. After fleeing Nerima after certain events Senshi and Ranma befriend the Get Backers and form an agency of their own, the T.R.A.P corps, the Transportation, Retrieval, Assassination, and Protection Corporation.

Note: if anyone has a better idea for a title I'm all ears. Also if you want a different name for the corporation Ranma and Senshi create the restrictions are that it has to be an acronym; meaning that it has to form a word using the initials of the actual title like my T.R.A.P corps. And the words used should be job types that they can do like transporter, retriever and the like.

Challenge: Ranma/Get backers crossover where Ranma and an OC form their own agency and the major arcs should deal with both Ranma's and the OC's past. Non-Yaoi The name is up to you. OC should be laid back and fun loving.

Summons one half – Naruto/Ranma multi crossover featuring the Naruto personality from my story Kitsune brothers. Happosai tries to summon a demon to put Ranma in his place; however he gets more than he bargained for when the demon he summons takes Ranma's side. It only gets weirder, when the Sailor Senshi get involved.

Note: I may need help with Sailor Senshi names (who is who) and their attack names, both for the Senshi and their enemies

Challenge: Naruto/Ranma crossover where Naruto is a demon. Naruto should be somewhat playful with a love of pranks. No Yaoi

A dragon's Summon – Naruto/Ikki Tousen crossover. The Naruto personality from my story Kitsune brothers somehow gets teleported into the Ikki Tousen world where fighters are called 'Toushi' having nothing else to do he hangs around and watches. Too bad chaos loves him as much as he loves Ramen

Challenge: Naruto/Ikki Tousen crossover where Naruto is an observer not actually aligned to any school but still manages to get targeted, and he has a fetish for assertive girls. No Yaoi

The killer, the protector, the negotiator – Rosario/ multi cross. Meet Naruto a Shinobi banished from his home for succeeding in his mission, meet his best friend Ranma a teen looking for a better life, meet Tsukune the only thing keeping the other two from ripping each other's throats out. "I am the sword" "I am the shield" "And I am the hand that guides them."

Note: if anyone has a cooler catch phrase the three of them can say together than I'm all ears.

Challenge: Rosario/Naruto/Ranma crossover, where Tsukune, Naruto, and Ranma are friends. Ranma and Naruto should have abilities where if they said they were human then no one would believe them. No Yaoi

Sensei's sensei – Negima/multi cross. To further Negi's training in the arts of combat. Konoemon Konoe asks two combat experts to come and teach at Mahora academy with Negi. Naruto, a millennia old demon, and Ranma a twenty-one year old martial arts instructor of the highest caliber. "You want me to jump three stories into the air?" "And you want me to work on silent casting?"

Challenge: Negima/Naruto/Ranma crossover Naruto is a demon and Ranma is smarter than cannon storylines. Naruto and Ranma should be able to competently teach whatever subject they get assigned to if any at all. No Yaoi

Do I have to? – One Piece/Naruto cross. Kami-sama calls in a favor Kaoru owes her. The favor? Make sure Luffy becomes king of the pirates. Unfortunately for him she sets a lot of restrictions on what he can and can't do. "Why do I have to hold myself back this much again?" he asked. "Because…it'll be funnier that way" was her simple response. Will start after meeting chopper but before Alabasta

Note: any one have a better idea for a title for this story? I couldn't think of one.

Challenge: Naruto/One piece crossover, Naruto has full range of his abilities from the Naruto universe (and any others you add on) and he's really lazy. (Lazier than Zoro)

Officer Kitsune – Sequel to No Need for Summons Naruto/Tenchi muyo GxP it will follow the anime series closely with the added interactions of Naruto with the cast.

Challenge: Naruto/Tenchi muyo GxP crossover. It's never been done before so I want to see what you guys might come up with. No Yaoi

The Artist - Naruto/Sumomomo momomo crossover Basically Naruto meets Inuzuka Koushi, becomes his friend gets a chance for a peaceful life as an artist, and then Momoko shows up ruining that opportunity as he once again has to step up and fight.

Challenge: Naruto/Sumomomo crossover. Like the Tenchi muyo GxP it's never been done before so why not?

The reason why I always put these ideas and Challenges in every chapter now is because hopefully it may inspire some authors out there and give them a basis for a real good story, and it will also help me remember my ideas for my future stories when I actually get there.
