(Why I was putting this as February I have no idea and I'm sorry about
that.)
Disclaimer: I don't own either Sailor Moon or Ranma ½. Please don't sue me, please don't sue me, PUH-LEAZE don't sue me. (Looks at evil horde of lawyers and runs like heck from the denizens from the third level of hell.)
Ranma startled as he heard the knock on the door and rubbed the tears from his eyes just before the door creaked open to reveal Nodoka slowly coming in. Ranma noticed how tired his mother looked and how red her eyes were.
"Can I come in Ranma?" Nodoka asked hesitantly.
"Sure mom." Ranma said as he pulled himself to a sitting position on the bed. Nodoka nervously walked over to the bed and sat down with a sigh. She handed him a piece of paper which looked old and worn with the writing a little faded and handprints nearly completely impossible to see.
HANDPRINTS? Ranma began to shake as he realized what the piece of paper was. He dropped the paper and Nodoka caught it back up. She quickly tore it up into several pieces which she let drift to the floor.
"I'm so sorry I ever let him make that stupid thing." Nodoka said, her eyes glistening with the tears she was fighting back. "I love you more than anything in this world and I'd never really make you do that. That bastard Genma? Yes, but not you."
"Mom?" Ranma asked, a little stunned.
"Please, Ranma," Nodoka begged, "Please forgive me."
Ranma reached over and gathered his weeping mother in his arms and whispered in her ear, "There's nothing to forgive, mom."
Nodoka's started sobbing as Ranma held her tight but at the same time gently. "I love you so much, Ranma. You're all I really have."
"I love you too mom." Ranma whispered to his crying mother, trying to comfort her. Just last night he thought that everyone hated him, thought he was a freak and was prepared to just end it all. Just when things looked the darkest though he learned that he had a whole other family that he never heard of before and so far none of them really thought of him as a freak.
"I'm so proud of you." Nodoka said as she pulled back and brushed Ranma unruly morning hair out of his face and smiled at him.
"Thanks mom," Ranma said, smiling back, "Yu have no idea what that means to me."
"I guess you have some questions, don't you?" Nodoka sighed, "About how you're related to Bunny and everything?"
"Bunny?" Ranma asked, trying to figure out who Bunny was.
"Your sister, Ranma." Nodoka said, "Bunny is Usagi's nickname." At Ranma's nod Nodoka continued, "I wanted to talk to you alone about all this but Ikuko wanted to talk to me first, she loves you very much too Ranma and was worried about you. She's your step mother."
"But how?" Ranma asked shaking his head, "Your married to pops aren't you?"
"Unfortunately, but that is going to change very soon." Nodoka said, "That man is not your father though, Ranma. Kenji is your real father Ranma."
Genma wasn't his father? All that abuse, all the crap Ranma went through trying to earn his father's approval, his love, and the bastard wasn't even his father!?
"I wasn't sure at first, honey. I Tried to make a family work with us but Genma, well you know him, it was near impossible to deal with that man. I let him take you on that training trip but it was just supposed to be a short trip to see his friend in Nerima while I waited for the blood test when I finally got up the nerve to get it done.
"Blood test?" Ranma asked, he wasn't sure how to feel at the moment but it felt like he was going to be sick.
"Before I married Genma, I was deeply in love with Kenji. We, well, we..." Nodoka hung her, her face flushed red. "We made love, Ranma."
Nodoka, his mother who always acted so proper during those visits to the Tendo's, always telling the Tendo sisters and 'Ranko' how to act lady like actually slept with someone out of wed lock.
Ranma was sure he fell into the twilight zone and was waiting for the music to start.
"Kenji and me had to break up though not long after that because he learned that his family had made an arrangement with Ikuko's parents and the were forced to be married. They grew to love each other though very much."
"Where does Genma come in then?" Ranma asked, his voice almost a whisper as he was having a very hard time accepting all of this.
"I was on the rebound and met him at a party where we both got drunk and one thing led to another, and we, well we also was intimate." Nodoka explained, rubbing her eyes, "I found out I was pregnant not long after that and I accepted Genma's proposal after he threatened to tell my family that I was pregnant out of wed lock."
"That bastard threatened you?" Ranma growled, "I'll kill him!"
"No Ranma, I'm taking care of him but he was a lot braver back then. He did care for us though, Ranma, in his own twisted way I guess and took care of us." Nodoka said. "He didn't know about Kenji and at the time I was scared and not sure what to do."
A knock on the door interrupted them when Ikuko peeked inside after Nodoka told her to come in. Ikuko had a bundle of clothes that Ranma quickly realized was the ones he was wearing last night when Usagi found him.
"I washed you clothed, dear." Ikuko said, "When you finish talking you can use that bathroom and clean up and join us downstairs for breakfast." Ikuko set the clothes on the dresser and walked over to Ranma and kissed him on the top of his head. "And Ranma?"
"Yeah?" Ranma asked.
"Don't you even think about killing yourself anymore," Ikuko said hugging him, "You have a family here who loves you very much."
"I'm sorry about last night." Ranma said, feeling low about hurting and worrying everyone.
"Don't be sorry, Ranma." Nodoka said, "You was hurting and you felt like that was your only way out."
"But it's not Ranma," Ikuko continued, "Promise us that you will talk to us if you even start to thinking about hurting yourself."
"Please," Nodoka urged, "I don't want to lose you."
"None of us do." Ikuko said as she pulled away and looked Ranma in the eyes, "Please promise us."
"I promise." Ranma said, tears threatening to spill. It was hard to believe that in less than twenty four hours he went from a place where everyone had hated and condemned him to a place that accepted him and loved him for who he was. And even better, it was the family that he always secretly dreamed of having on the road.
"Good," Ikuko said, "Breakfast will probably be ready in twenty minutes so please don't be too long."
Ranma watched as Ikuko walked out of the room, softly closing the door. Ikuko, his mother as well as Nodoka who was his biological mother. He didn't know exactly what to do or say.
"Are you okay?" Nodoka asked, brushing the side of his face gently with her hand.
"Yeah, mom. Thanks." Ranma sniffed.
"I'll let you get ready then dear," Nodoka said as she got up and kissed her son's forehead, "I love you."
"Love you to mom." Ranma replied as Nodoka left.
