Disclaimer! I only made up Tony, Zuu, Toby, Nick, Carlos, Rho, Steve and
any and all Shae. I did not make up the others. I also made up Carla, but
anyone who wants her can take her. You take Zuu without permission and you
steal my poor battered non-existent soul.
I'm not responsible for this!!!
Part 1: Complications
Jusenkyo, China
The falls are calm. The guide is away on a holiday. The only sounds of the place of tragedy are soft tidal crashing, wind rustling the leaves-
And from the house, food being quickly eaten.
The sounds continue for a minute, and a small black streak exits, but fades too soon to tell what it is. The only hints of what happened inside are two empty bowls stacked on top of each other, a pair of chopsticks, ¥3000, and a note scribbled on a napkin in bad handwriting, which says:
Food was GoOd.
SorRy AbouT the MesS.
HopE thIs is EnOUgh to Pay for it.
-SaoTomE
In a way, no more needs to be said.
Campsite outside Jusenkyo
The site is messy, but in the way that suggests recent use. The only thing that seems odd is a small journal on top of a map. The map is of the springs, showing visitors where every one of them is, but not naming any. All of them have 'X' marks on them.
The journal is in the same poor handwriting.
Day 39 of 3rd Year
I have SeArcheD all ThE SpRinGs now, except for the OnES the map says are drIed up. NonE of Them are tHe NanNiIChuAN. I Can onLy assume tHAt it is one oF the DrY springs. It's a SaD thing tO thINk, buT there's NO CuRe foR Me. ToMMorRow i hEad HomE, A FaILure. I DoN't KNOW wHAt to do NoW.
Ranma picks up the notebook and rereads it, sighing deeply. He folds the map up, places it neatly in the book to mark the page, and starts to pack. When he's finished, he walks up to the cliff over Jusenkyo. He looks carefully at it.
"To think, I keep coming back here. I know I've failed. I guess, I just outta accept my fate. But Pop, Ryoga, Shampoo, Mousse. They don't deserve it. 'Specially since it's all my fault they have to be this way. So. I guess I need to go back and apologize to them. Let 'em pound me a few times, who knows. Maybe they'll be more ready than I am to deal with this. Farewell, Jusenkyo. I'm going home, and I'll deal with their spite."
And with that, he picked up his backpack and walked away.
