The city a place where groups of people live. The city holds the inhabitants of it under it's care. Just like all cities in any civilization one must take care of it as well as yourself. One way is to invent new ways to help your fellow man and city. We are all called to this such is the way of life.

One who has life must work to aid others, or yourself. But there are a selected few that are gifted with power to obtain the knowledge that can alter the way of life for everyone. Those who do obtain however must take on a great responsibility. You see all knowledge that is pursued is for good, but it is what we do with that obtained knowledge that will determine if it is for good or for evil. With this on our minds let take a look at a house that holds one that is about to obtain that knowledge.

"Let me get this straight. This committee that you are representing is offering me all the funds I need to complete my research and make my theory a reality? What's the catch?" Asked the renowned brunette scientist known as Naoko Akagi.

"Yes please don't let the fact that I am your younger fool you. I am here because your theory is remarkable and has captured the eyes of the committee, otherwise known as Seele. I myself am intrigued by your ideas and also by you as well doctor." The man said while hiding his true intentions.

"Hm let me think about this about discuss this further say over dinner?" She said while she tried to hide her blush.

"Yes I have you right were I want you Dr. Akagi" he thought to himself and spoke. "Of course we can didn't you say you have a daughter as well I like to meet her as well."

"Yes I do her name is Ritsuko. I am also planning on sending to a boarding school sometime before the end of the millennium though." She said with a hint of jealousy that the center of attention was not her.

"I'm home mother." Ritsuko said as she ran into the house.

As she entered the living room she saw her mother had company. So this was a perfect way to leave the house and get to go out with Ranma.

Yes for her the entire world for her was perfect. She and Ranma after his first day at school have together for about the entire jr. high years she was happy. She had a boyfriend finally one that had eyes for her only. Not one that wanted to use her as a science project partner to pass the class. Also to make her even more happy he was just as or almost as smart as she was. This added a plus mark in her book. She was so happy she believed that it would last forever, but that would soon all change on this day.

"Oh sorry mother I'll just give you your privacy. I will just go out and see my boyfriend ok." She said not hiding her eagerness to leave this caught the eye of the two adults. Who's' thoughts were different. For example take Naoko instance she was thinking this "I am glad she found someone that can make her happy. Ever since he came into her life she has changed allot. Even I have changed too. Now we started to get closer together like a mother and daughter should. I should feel ashamed that it took an outside help to achieve this, but I don't. I am just glad it happened."

The man on the other hand had different thoughts going through his mind. "This is not good at all. It is no wonder that her mother was easily manipulated by me, but this boyfriend of hers can change her. I can't risk Naokos' daughter taking on another job. I will just have to use the information I got from her mother to my advantage."

"Why hello you can call me Gendo. Ritsuko I believe is your name since your mother told me. You must be excited that you will be attending a boarding school as famous as the one you will be attending soon." He said this hoping to receive the effect desired, and which he received.

"Wh what boarding school mother you didn't tell me this!" Ritsuko said in outrage from hearing the news.

"Well dear I was planning on doing it soon so you can get the best education possible that all. It is for." That was all she could say as her daughter yelled over her voice.

"My best interest. Yeah that is what you always say mother. You just want me to be just like you. Well let me tell you what I am not, and I want to stay here. You never listen to what I have to say!" That was all she said before running out of the house in tears. Leaving her mother with her guest as she called out to her return so she could explain.

*** park ***

At the park was Ranma waiting for Ritsuko. Today was not going to be a date but he just wanted to give her something. To give her a gift that showed how much he loved her. To tell the true his mother hinted, no more like gave him the idea. Only one thing was wrong his girlfriend was late and he was beginning to worry about hear. Feeling a even greater sense of worry he was about to go to her house and check up on her. When he spotted a crying Ritsuko running to him.

"Hey Rit-chan what happened you can tell me." He said as she grabbed on to him. Holding him tightly almost as if he vanish if she left he go. "Hey come on it can't be that bad tell me I am here for you. I am sure we can fix it don't worry." He said as he hugged her back while rocking her in his arms to calm the crying daughter of Naoko.

"It it is bad Ranma my mother wants to send me away." She spoke between sobs as she said this he clung even tight onto him.

"Send you away, where?" He asked her to get more information before drawing any conclusion. When he heard her say to a boarding school. He knew what was bothering her. "Rit-chan didn't you tell me that one of your dream was that you wanted to just as or even greater then your mother? So don't be sad Even if we are far away I will always be here for you. Also I will be hear too in your heart." He said as he pointed to her chest where her heart was at. "You'll see she just wants to help but if you are afraid that I will be gone. I won't be and if you need proof here."

As he handed her a small jewelry box. She open slowly only to find in it a broach. It was a beautiful design. It had on each side a cat and the had their tails intertwined. Between them was a green emerald that sparkled. As she looked at it she turn to Ranma to hear his explanation.

"Well you see there are different symbols out there. You know like friendship rings' and stuff like that so I figured I give you that broach cause of the cats and because that emerald looked just like your eyes beautiful." He aid this as he leaned forward and kiss her on the lips. As he broke the kiss she started to speak.

"You don't think its my mothers way of separating us do you?" When she received a nod of no from Ranma she began to think about it on a much more leveled head this time and said. "Your right I mean I can always stop here to visit on holidays and stuff. Maybe I overreacted just a little."

"Just a little." He said but was cut off by Ritsukos' elbow. "Come on Ri-chan it is getting dark so let go home I bet she is worried about you." He said as he escorted her home.

While they were walking home it had gotten cold fast and seeing that Ritsuko was still in her sailor fuku. He offered his jacket and placed it on her shoulders to keep her warm. While they were walking slowly she started to snuggle up to Ranmas' body for warmth. While walking she thought of all the good times that they had so far and what she expected to come. As she thought this she asked Ranma. "Ranma do you think we will be together forever?"

As those words hit Ranma. It brought back a painful memory from earlier in the day. You see today marked the day that Adam told Ranma what was going to happen. He told him about second impact and that he was going to be he cause of it but that the reason for his attack was out of defense cause somebody will try to obtain his powers against his will. As he remember the last words he told Ranma he told them to Ritsuko.

"Nothing can last for ever Rit-chan. It can only appear that way you see that is what makes our (your) lives meaningful. We (you) live short but full lives and part of what makes it special is that everything must end, but there will always be something new. Just like a book where one chapter closes another will begin. But to tell you the truth I wish we do stay together and we can almost you see in here." He said as he pointed to his head and his heart.

"Your right Ran-chan. Well I guess this is good night Ran-chan." She said before entering her home still wearing his jacket and giving Ranma a good night kiss for the escort and the broach.

As Ranma started his way back to the place he called home. There was only one thing going on in his mind and it was important to him. He knew with Adam soon to be gone he need to make efforts to convince the other angels. Unfortunately it would tae time and time was not a luxury he had. With that he yawned and said. "Man I am really tired."

"Yeah tell me about it. The only thing that seems to keep me going is coming here how about you Ranma?" The masculine voice said to Ranma as he shook his head. As he shook he came out of his dream and looked at his surroundings. He must have fallen asleep in the Nerv Personal Baths. As he turned to see who had woken him up he saw there next to him in the shallow pool hot tub was Aoba Shigeru.

Aoba Shigeru one of the MAGI system operators and who is also in charge of the central military operations room. Who spends his free time playing his guitar but when on duty he practices on an air guitar, for safety reasons of course.

"Hey Ranma you all right you look a little out of it minute ago." The worried MAGI operator asked as he slipped into the tub.

"Oh yeah just dreaming about the past that's all a mildly happy one too." Ranma said as he stretched his arms and legs.

"Yeah I hear yeah I do that too sometimes. By the way is it true that the third child is coming here tomorrow?" He asked as he too stretched his body to get the kinks out.

"Yeah, but I think there is some about that fact and the fact that we picked up the third angel, and predicted that its E.T.A. is due tomorrow. If you ask me something doesn't add up to me."

"Yeah tell me about it but hey with the chosen children here at Nerv and Eva's what can go wrong right?" Aoba asked Ranma.

Who grunted but thought this "everything can go wrong I don't know Ikari is up to but I will find out and put an end to his and Seele's plan for good. I didn't join Nerv to get this close and not find out who forced Adam to do second impact. Who ever you are I will rip you from limb to limb when I find you." "Well I guess I better get going. See you around Aoba." He said as he left to get dried and dressed.

"Yeah see yeah Ran I mean Major Saotome." Aoba said when he turn to see a fully uniformed Ranma in a dark blue Nerv uniform. While he tied his hair into his trademark pigtail before leaving.
