Chapter 2
The next day, at the Tendo Dojo--
"Daddyyyy! You've got mail!" yelled Nabiki on the top of her lungs, waking the whole house up.
Soun Tendo walked into the room and asked Nabiki groggily, "Do you really have to yell like that so early in the morning Nabiki? Some people were trying to get some sleep, you know."
Nabiki blinked innocently, "Oh, I'm so sorry. But I thought that you would want to know that it's mailed from Tokyo."
Mr. Tendo started, "From Tokyo? Who do I know from Tokyo?"
Kasumi walked out from the kitchen, from which she was cooking breakfast in, "Doesn't you friend Mr. Shidou live there? He has three sons and a daughter."
Mr. Tendo blinked in surprise and stopped in the process of opening the letter. "How do you know that he has three sons and a daughter?"
Kasumi blushed saying, "Satoru and I kept in touch ever since he and I met and found out that we both liked to cook."
"Oh," was all that Mr. Tendo said. He went back to opening the letter and reading it. As soon as he finished, He rushed to the phone and picked the receiver only to realize what time it was and put it back down. He picked it up again though remembering that the letter had said to call them as soon as they made up their mind that if Hikaru could stay with them or not. Mr. Tendo dailed the phone number written on the letter and waited for someone to pick up the phone.
//Hello. You have reached the Shidou residence. How may I help you?// said a deep, tired voice.
Mr. Tendo recognized the voice as his old friend Mr.Shidou. He said in to the phone, "Shidou? Is that you?"
//Tendo? You got my letter? So is it okay for my daughter to stay at your house?//
"Yes, it's okay for your daughter to stay at my house," said Mr. Tendo amused in spite of himself at the relief in Mr. Shidou's voice.
Over the phone Mr. Shidou let out the breath he had been holding and thanked Mr. Tendo profoundly. He told Mr. Tendo that Hikaru would be arriving there the day after tomorrow, said bye, and hanged up.
Mr. Shidou walked into the kitchen and leaned on the counter. Satoru, who was in there cooking breakfast asked what Mr. Tendo had said.
Mr. Shidou told him that Mr. Tendo had said that it was okay. Then they set up the table and yelled for Hikaru, Masaru, and Kakeru to come down stairs to eat breakfast.
During breakfast, Mr. Shidou and Satoru told Hikaru about her going to the Tendo's.
When Hikaru heard that she was going to the Tendo's for the time being, she opened her mouth to complain... until she saw her father's eyes and saw that they were tired and troubled. She realized that with out her their, her dad would have less to worry about, so she agreed to pack and go on the train that day and skip school. Masaru had told her that she would be transferring to Furinkan High in Nerima, close to the Tendo Dojo.

Later that day at the train station-
Hikaru sighed to herself as she got on to the train. When she found a seat, she sat down thinking to herself, This is going to be a long day...
Masaru had arranged for Hikaru to spend a night at an Inn nearby the high school so that she would not have to bother Mr. Tendo. The day after, she would go to school. After school she would go back to the Inn, get her stuff, and head over to the Tendo Dojo. But Hikaru did not have to do that because she had all her luggage in her gauntlet and she carried that inside her school bag with her school things. Soon after the train conductor announced over the intercom, //Ladies and gentlemen, we will be soon arriving at Nerima.//
Hikaru grabbed her school bag and stood up as soon as she felt the train stop and walked out on to Nerima train station as soon as the train doors opened. She walked out of the train station into the sunshine, feeling like a stranger. Hikaru mentally scolded herself. Of coarse she was a stranger there. She had never been there before except once when she was only four yours. She looked around her and was satisfied on what she found. She started walking in the direction leading to the Inn she was supposed to stay in according to Satoru's map. Suddenly she heard a shout from over head,
"TODAY IS THE DAY YOU DIE RANMA SAOTOME!!!!"
Hikaru, being of a slight martial artist, automatically jumped to the side. The man that had shouted landed in the spot she had just jumped out of, creating a small crater there. Hikaru looked around to see what affect it had on the people around her. She was very surprised to see that the people simply gave the crater a berth and kept walking. Hikaru thought to herself, If these people aren't surprised about that, what are they surprised about?!?!
Just then Hikaru heard another shout from above, "RYOUGA!!! YOU IDIOT!! I'M RIGHT HERE!! HOW COULD I BE OVER THERE?!?!"
Hikaru looked for the source of the yell. A pigtailed man in traditional Chinese clothes came flying toward her or the man in the crater. She backed away a little more to ensure her safety and watched the man to see what he was doing. When the man started to glow blue, Hikaru backed away a little more and decided to treat this spectacle like everybody else did. She turned her back, though it made her senses scream, and headed for the Inn.
