If you were to visit the former temple of Genkai you would probably hear the sounds of destruction and a good amount of yelling. This was of course for the most part Haruhi during her training to become a Ghostbuster. What you might miss though was the explosions that were being caused by a small little girl who was going through some special training. You would think you would have seen Cologne or Genma watching in on the training but you would be wrong. For you see Ranko Saotome was now starting her training under both Ranma Saotome and Yusuke Urameshi.
Ranko was currently jumping from the tops of multiple wooden poles as she dodged a barrage of Spirit Gun blasts from Yusuke as Ranma shouted out critiques or insults at his little sister to help motivate her to do better. Ranko was also wearing an unusual outfit for a small 5 year old. She was in an outfit you would have thought Shampoo would have worn if she were the size of a 5 year old. A red Chinese silk shirt and pants with martial arts shoes. So she did also look like a mini Ranma but she did have twin buns in her hair so she was at least a little different.
This of course was not the issue that Haruhi had when she was finished her training for the day. She saw what was going on and had just enough of what she felt was insane torture of a child, 5 days was much too long for this so called training in her opinion. So when she started marching up to both Ranma and Yusuke, Kyon knew that he was going to need to step in, but of course he was too late before she opened her mouth.
"What the hell are you two doing to her? Are you two insane?" Haruhi shouted at both Yusuke and Ranma causing them to stop what they were doing and Ranko to stop jumping around wondering what was Haruhi's problem.
"It's training. We have been doing this all week. Why are you having a problem with this now?" Yusuke asks as Ranma and Ranko nod in agreement not seeing a problem in this training at all.
Haruhi could only stare back in anger at that response. About a second or two later she shook her head and says, "What kind of answer is that? She's 5! What kind of 5 year old goes through training like that?"
Ranma and Ranko both have raised their arms at this and in unity they answered, "We do"
Kyon even stops at that one when he finally gets to Haruhi's side and says, "You have got to be kidding me. You did this for training at 5 years old?"
Ranma had a questioning look on his face as he shrugs his shoulders and says, "I was dodging rocks really because Pops can't shoot his Chi at anyone really. So my training wasn't as fun."
"Fun! Did you just say 'fun'? What is wrong with you if you think that this is fun?" Kyon had to ask as he recalled what he had seen what Ranma and Yusuke put Ranko through for the past couple of days.
Ranko at this point tilts her head and says, "You don't think this looks fun? Cause I think its fun to do. I'm like a real life anime character!"
This response had everyone look to Ranko and then back to Ranma. Ranma had to chuckle as he rubbed the back of his head and says, "I was on the road all of my life. So Ranko has had a better chance to do better in school. So of course she can talk better than I can."
Of course this just led to everyone having the same thought. 'If Ranma had had a chance to go to school like a normal child he might have used his crazy learning ability to soak up so much knowledge that he would have been a rival of Kurama's. And if Ranko is able to do both learn normal things and crazy martial arts skills at her age they could only imagine what she could in a few years.' This thought had made them all shiver. That kind of power should not be in one person.
Ranma's thoughts were of course different. Sure he called Ranko off of the wooden poll she was standing on and told her to clean up and take a break for the day. But he was concerned for his baby sister. He remembered all too well the final words of the Demon King Mordecai. He took up Ranko's training from his father so that Ranko could be ready if Mordecai were to attempt to take his revenge sooner rather than later. He could only hope that the training would be enough.
He was then interrupted by the sound of his cellphone ringing and had to pick it up. He was of course interrupted from his thoughts by it seeing as it was Akane. But the call did remind him of one thing. He wasn't going to be able to keep training Ranko for long. He was now planning his wedding with Akane and their future lives. He was going to have to put his faith in Ranko's skills and knowledge. Perhaps some training as a Ghostbuster was going to be in order as well. The more that Ranko had in her arsenal the better she would be.
Little would Ranma know that this new knowledge would come to be very important for Ranko in just a short 10 years. Only time could say if she would be prepared enough for her own safety or even the safety of the world.
