The following Monday morning
Akane and Ukyo were kinda in shock. They had both heard from Nabiki over the weekend about Ranma's new life and kids. They were both startled out of their thoughts when the door opened and the teacher announced that they had a new student joining them. They both looked up to see an almost familiar redhead standing there. There were noticeable differences of course such as the lighter red hair that cascaded down in an unruly mane to the middle of her back, the fact that she was wearing a girls school uniform, oh, and don't forget the pierced ears.
"Before any of you ask, I will tell you now, I am not Ranma. My name is Ranko Inverse, and Ranma is my mom. As for me I am a warrior of Clan Inverse proficient in both martial arts and sorcery." As Ranko introduced herself the reaction in the room was varied from shock at the claim of Ranma being her mom, to sweatdrops at the sorcery comment.
Much to Akane's chagrin Ranko was given Ranma's old seat next to her. Class continued normally until lunch with both Akane and Ukyo occasionally glancing at Ranko.
At lunch Akane and Ukyo found Ranko sitting under a tree outside talking to a pair of obvious twins, the boy had Ranma's blue eyes but the resemblance ended there he was taller and bigger built with his blond hair in a pony tail that hung down just past his shoulders. The girl had brown eyes and was just as tall but slender with her bright red hair in a braid down to her waist.
Ranko, seeing them approach smirked at them and said, "Hi, Akane and Ukyo right?" at their nods of assent as they sat down, Ranko continued, "Mom has told me so much about the two of you that I feel as if I already know you. But where are my manners. Akane, Ukyo, I would like to introduce you to my younger siblings Gourry and Amelia." As they were introduced Gourry smiled shyly and Amelia grinned. "Hi" they chorused in stereo.
Before the conversation could go any further Ranko noticed a tall boy in a hakama approaching and recognized Kuno. "Damn," Ranko muttered, Ukyo noticing what caused that reaction raised an eyebrow in question at that remark, seeing that Ranko explained. "Mom warned me about him, and I am telling you now if he starts spouting poetry at me like he did mom, I will fireball his ass.
Kuno, approaching the group saw Ranko sitting there and noticed the differences in appearance and thought in exultation 'My fire haired goddess if finally freed from the foul sorcerers grasp'.
As Kuno began his usual speech this time directed at Ranko, everyone watched as Ranko merely grinned pointed at Kuno and said one word "Fireball". They all watched in shock as Ranko's finger glowed red for a moment then a ball of fire shot out at Kuno engulfing him.
"I still fight on." Kuno croaked out before letting out a small puff of smoke and falling over slightly charred.

Just a little teaser. If Anyone has any suggestions as to where I can take the story from here I would be more than happy to hear them. I need some ideas to jumpstart my creativity.
