Going Home
Chapter 1: Home Coming


It was a long month later, hell and gone from any galactic civilization when Sakura found the Sol system. A short time later she was circling the third planet and setting up her scanners to look for Japan. She was now very glad that her mother had given her all those boring Earth geography lessons. It made this much easier. A few minutes later she had a match. Pulling into orbit over Japan she brought up the computers map and began marking off locations on the main island looking for a place to land near Tokyo. As she was looking for a place to land she had her computer analyzing the tech level on Earth. She found a clearing a days hike outside of Tokyo with noting but forest for almost that far in every other direction.

As she landed she looked over what her scanners could tell her of Earths tech level and grinned when she realized that sometime in the nineteen years since her mom had left Earth had developed hover technology. *Well,* she thought *this mean I can use the hover bike I found in here instead of running the whole way* She thought back to her time on Palith where she had grown up and all the times she had scared her mom spit less by her reckless driving on a hover bike and chuckled sadly at the fond memory.

A short time later she was standing next to the ship with her hover bike and unknown to her she was about to make a really big impression on Nerima. She represented the perfect picture of the weirdness that used to be Nerima. Standing at 5' 11" she was on the tall side for a woman, her hair was a brighter almost metallic shade of red ,compared to her mom's, pulled back into a tight braid that fell down to her waist; and she had her mom's ice blue eyes. Her clothing was no less strange for Japan. Red Chinese shirt and black kung fu style pants, made of a material that looked like a slightly stiff silk. Over this she wore a handmade bomber style jacket lined with silver fur, a pair of handmade leather calf-high boots, and had a pair of flight goggles pushed up onto her forehead.
Shaking herself out of her thoughts, Sakura climbed on the hover bike and fired it up. Looking at the maps that ships computer had downloaded from the local info-net she plotted a course towards the district of Nerima, and after pulling out the remote and locking the ship, headed out to find her mothers past.

***********************************

Twenty minutes of insane flying later Sakura slowed the bike as she entered the Nerima ward of Tokyo. She took a good look around as she flew through the streets of Nerima, it looked like it was a little less of a war zone than the what her mom had described, but then almost twenty years can change a place. She saw a pink haired girl in a tight Chinese dress and wielding a pair of maces chasing a black haired boy wearing a black and yellow bandana around his head and a large pack on his back. Sakura kinda blinked at this, then chuckled at how close this resembled some of the situations that her mom told her about.
A few minutes later she pulled up in front of the Satome home, and gawked for a moment at the panda weeding the flower bed in front of the house. At the sound of the bike stopping and shutting down the panda looked up at the redhead getting off the bike, his eyes got real wide and he rushed into the house. A moment later an overweight balding man wearing a white Gi, and an older woman wearing a formal kimono came out to meet her. As they approached Sakura bowed formally to them and said, "Hello my name is Sakura Satome, would you happen to be Genma and Nodoka Satome?"
At this statement the woman passed out and the man stared and blurts out. "Yes we are, Who were your parents?"
Sakura smiles a sad smile and replies, "Well, grandfather, my mom was Ranma Satome and I do not know who my dad was."

Authors notes,
More will be coming soon if I can get some feedback. I would like your opinions on machups for the rest of the nerima wrecking crew - both Kuno's, The Tendo sisters, the Amazons, Ukyo, Ryoga, etc. - and any ideas for kids from those pairings. Remember here Ranma was gone for nineteen years. Any crossover pairings are also welcome. If you suggest a crossover pairing suggestions for pairings of the rest of the main characters from the crossover would be welcome. Also, should the Satome's have had another kid? I have seen it done before and would appreciate feedback on the idea. Brief summary here to keep in mind for these suggestions. Ranma disappeared a couple of months after the failed wedding, on the world where he ends up he finds that he is locked in his female form, several months later she is raped, nine months later Sakura Satome is born. Eighteen years later they are picked up off the backwater world they have been living on by slavers, Ranma gives her life so that Sakura can escape. Several months later Sakura finds her way to Earth, and heads for Nerima. We end this part with her meeting her grandparents for the first time.

Thanks
