Chapter 3

Akane Tendo had always had problems with the obvious. She was n't alone in that regard however a certain aquatransexual had the same problem as did nearly all martial rtists in the area excepting Nabiki she... Well this was a common occurence in Nerima anyway. Akane Tendo was at the moment grumbling over the tremendous ki-blast that she had seen some miles away from here strange conversation with Ryouga. 'Had he executed that blast?' Akane grumbled at the weirdness of it all. Ryouga had in that case used the reply she had given him on his request to execute it. 'What was it that made it so?' Akane often wished she could be as calculating as her older sister Nabiki when unexplainable things occured like this one. 'I can't ask her though she'll rob me blind! Who can I ask?' Akane wandered unerringly towards the Neko Haten in her grumbling gait...

Khu Lon was almost always bored. This time she was worried however. 'The amount f Ki in that blast of the lost boy was inhuman!' Peering out from the window she was sitting in she frowned ineffectutally. 'That had been an exponential increase in Ki projected. If the boy keeps on getting stronger in the same manner he'll be a threat to all of Nihon!.' Few times in her oh to long life had she seen someone wield Ki as indescriminately as she had seen here in Nerima. The leader of the Musk King Herb showed potential in that range befoer his death on Pheonix Mountain. The Musk had been a mostly harmless nuisance after that. 'If Ryouga doubles his precision and Ki focussing ability he will be able to pull blasts equivalent in strength to those nuclear warheads of those republic idiots in Beijing!' That settled matters for the for the aged matriarch.

Flipping out her pogo stick from the pocket dimension she hopped down from the window sill and pogoed in to the kitchen. "Xian Pu I'll be gone for the afternoon you look after Mu Tsu and the resaurant for me will ya!" Xian Pu looked up from the beating session she was engrossed in and replied sunnily "Aiyah Great Grand Mother Xian Pu can take care of silly Mu Tsu and restaurant! Don't worry granny! Ooooh good japanese today. Xian Pu great Yah!" From underneath the twin maces Mu Tsu grumbled inaudbly. 'The blasted ghoul is leaving me in my beloveds hand its truly a day to rejoice!' The tears of joy were also tears of pain however!

On her way out of the restaurant Khu Lon met Akane Tendo. She was grumbling over something. 'When will she stop blaiming son in law for everything? When!' Contrary to popular belief the ghoul wasn't out for blood when training her favourite pupil. She cared for him like a son. Thus in extension she cared for his friends ion varying degrees. Akane was very important to son in Law and therefore some one important to Khu Lon as well.

"Akane Tendo what brings you to the Neko Haten? Is there anything on your mind which you wish to share with me?" Akane was somewhat shocked when the less than pleasing to the eye old ghoul adressed her from seemingly out of the blue. "What! Oh! Uh...?" Akane knew better than to lash out as would have been Ranma's response. Curtsying quickly Akane politely briefed Khu Lon on the topic of Ryouga's seemingly erratic behaviour and she also expressed worries for hisw well being and such while prattling for some five minutes or so. "Shut up Akane! You've told me enough." Akane quieted after having received a bop to the head curtesy of our favourite amazon matriarch. "It seems Ryouga's obsession with his newly mastered technique has forced him to use the emotional content of your reply to perform the perfect version of the Lion's Roar Blast. This is severe indeed. We must find him before he does something he'll regret!" With this Akane was prompted to lead the matriarch to the site of tha blast...
