Mamoru considers his options and can't think of any practical solutions. "None that I can think of. We will have to drag her along. Maybe she would not be as hard on Usagi and Makoto once she knows the truth. She confided in me that she thinks you two are somehow cheating. She had you back in middle school and now she has you in your senior year. Your both are now model students. She is suspicious." Rei has a very large frown on her face. "I don't like this idea.

Maniko ponders the options aloud. "Other than killing her, or not going, we don't really have a choice." Usagi steps in before another argument erupts. "We are going, and we are not killing anyone. She is smart enough to figure this out on her own. We might as well let her make this discovery in a controlled environment." Rei suddenly breaks into sweat drops. She leaps up and starts to shake Usagi. "All right, who are you and what did you do to Usagi?"

As the girls went into another squabble Mamoru frowns to him self as he recalls a conversation with Washu.

^^Flashback^^

Mamoru looked around his surroundings. He was in a scientific lab undergoing many tests. He heard Washu mumbling to herself and then a shoot in triumph. He was extremely nervous. He had managed to avoid Washu's attempts to get the most important genetic sample, but he was uncertain he could avoid another. His worries were lessoned when Washu spoke to him. "Mamoru, when all is said and done. I need to get in contact with two students in Tokyo Japan." She had avoided his attempts at getting that information. Something was fishy.

^^End Flashback^^

The girls had finally noticed the look of silent reflection on his face and the ever-present frown that was there. This could not bode well for them. Finally he spoke. "I hate to brooch this subject. I was going to wait until after this is over. Ranma's distant family and friends intend to approach Nura Osako and Gurio Umino." He gives them time to absorb this information. "When this meeting happens they will most likely learn your secret. I would like to extend an invitation to them as well. It would also help throw off any people we have not counted on making any sort of connection." He watched as Usagi perked up at this announcement/request. "I can finally tell her. I don't have to push her away anymore." She then realizes it is not her sole decision. She looks around at everyone. "Any problem with we go ahead and get this out of the way at the same time?' She flinched when Rei sighed but smiled at her answer. "Why not, the more the merrier."

A short petite red head girl was skipping down the residential part of Nerima. If you looked closely you could see the fresh cement that was used to repair the damage that the local martial artist inflicted on the Ward with their petty rivalries. Mamoru had just given her the good news that she would get to meet her new test subjects soon. She suddenly slowed down to a walk as the thoughts of why she was there reentered her mind. 'I can't believe I'm going to the Tendo Dojo alone. My sensors indicate no one is watching. So why is Mamoru being so cautious?' Those thoughts were shattered when she noticed a shadow up in a tree. "Darn, should have checked further away from the Dojo itself. "Good thing I can instantly transport." She walked up to the Dojo and knocked.

Kasumi frowned at the knocking at the door. It was not the most opportune time for her to be hosting guest. With getting lunch ready and getting the laundry done. 'More than likely a sales person, should not take long to get ride of them.' Her frown goes away as soon as she recognizes the person who had knocked. It was the short girl that was with Mamoru before. What was her name? Ah, yes, she gives a polite bow. "Hello Washu-san, would you like to come in for tea? The water is hot." She wanted to learn more about this mysterious person. Lunch and the Laundry could wait. She always had the water ready to go for a random change, and the water was convenient for tea also.

Washu flinches at the san part, but returns the bow that Kasumi had greeted her with. "Please call me Little Washu, Kasumi-san. I'm sorry I don't have time for tea. My employer wished to pay Soun for hid kindness in helping him to find his daughter a proper dojo." She then presents a rather thick envelope to Kasumi with instructions printed on top.

If Kasumi was bothered by any reference to a daughter it did not faze her. She sees the instructions and smiles. "Thank you Little Washu-san." She bows to her once again. "The invitation for tea is always open. Have a nice day." With that she walks off.

Washu flinches at the san honor fic. 'This girl is too formal for her own good.' She watches her walk off. 'Well she could give Ayeka a run for her money in being formal.' She then walks off the property and heads directly for a restaurant. She places a quick to go order and pays for it in advance. She then goes into the lady's room and transports out. Her tail had been effectively lost. She watched her scanner with amusement as her tail waited for three long hours before they finally gave up and left.

It had been a long and tedious day at school. She had watched her sister fend off five of Kunos unwanted attempts at getting a date. 'Maybe I should contact Mamoru to see if he can't get some relief for her. Besides he is way over due on contacting us.' She interrupts her thoughts when she notices Akane and her are home. She calls out to Kasumi as they enter. "Sis were home!"

Kasumi called them both into the kitchen. Akane ignored her and headed to her room dead to the world. This disappointed Kasumi to no end. 'Akane, you have got to start living again.' She handed the envelope to Nabiki and watched as she followed the instructions on it immediately.

Nabiki took the proffered envelope and read the instructions on it. With a quick nod she turns to leave the kitchen and calls out behind her. "Sis, I've got to enter this into the ledger. Thanks." She heard her sister call back to her. "Any time." Nabiki's thoughts went to Akane. 'Poor Akane, all the cloak and dagger stuff has got to be killing her.'

Kasumi watches Nabiki go. 'This is so exciting! Nabiki has found someone who won't be railroaded by her, and Akane will soon be reunited with Ranma. Things could not be developing more perfectly.'

In the sanctuary of her room Nabiki opens the envelope and shuffles through a bunch of blank paper. 'Great thinking Mamoru, make it look like a cash payment in yen.' She finally seeks the paperwork she is looking for. 'Lets see, two airplane tickets to America? What the HFIL? America? Why the hell are we going to America? China is the other direction.' She throws those thoughts aside and continues to go through the paperwork. 'Our passports and they are in order to. I wonder what kind of strings he had to pull for these?' She then finds the instructions.

Biki,

Enclosed you will find two airplane tickets to America and your passports. You have no idea what kind of strings I had to pull in order to get that done with the up most secrecy. Sorry I can't cover more information, but I can't risk this getting intercepted.

Mamoru

Nabiki sighed, 'His handwriting could be a lot better.' She goes back and looks at the tickets for some sort of clue. 'What! We leave in the morning!"

Only 1344 words this time. I know the chapter is short, but I felt it would be a good breaking point. Please don't hate, maul, or flame the author. I felt I could not carry through were I need to if I worked with my 2000 words a chapter goal. Those 700 some odd words could have left me at even a worse cliffhanger than this.

As to my use of the HFIL reference. I could not resist. It you do not know what HFIL is then watch the DBZ Anime. Any constructive criticism is welcome. Good or bad.
