Chapter 6: A Mothers Love. ( Titles change I know )
Dream, Dream can be a wonderful thing, dreams can lead us into the future or they can lead us into the past, or in case of one Ranma Saotome the dreams are of his past, a time before his training a time before he meat Kasumi, it was a time when he was with his mother, A Beautiful woman of 20 holding her five-year-old child, Young Ranma was scared his parents are fighting agin and his mother hurt his father.
"No. I will not allow this. Ranma is too young to train." He heard his mother yelling.
"But Dear Wife to begin his training now will insure that he well become a great martial artist, the best in his generation." Genma argued. Nodoka stared at him. "Fine Wife I will make Ranma a man among men, and the greatest of all martial artist. If I fail then he and I well commit seppuku"
He vowed. Nodoka looked at him. "No he will stay here and you can go and live out in the streets I will not have my baby taken at this age." Nodoka yelled.
With that said. She takes her little one and heads up stairs. Genma was shocked he had to come up with a plan and fast or his meal ticket was gone.
As night goes on Genma sneaks into the young boys' bed room. "There he is sleeping like a baby. Im Sorry No-chan but this is for his own good." Carefully picking Ranma up, and sneaking out but the room and the house the two made their way into the unknown.
When Ranma woke up, he felt anger then the day's date came to him. March 15th the day the Tendos cried. Silently getting up Ranma made his way down to the bathroom to wash up and change. Just as he slide the door open, someone was just getting out. "AHHHHH!" Kasumi Yells and Slammed back down in the tub.
"AHH Kasumi Im Sorry I didn't mean to I'm Sorry I'll leave forgive me okay." Ranma said as he left the bathroom.
A few minutes later Kasumi walked out in her rob. She walked up to Ranma and slapped him. "Next time knock." Ranma just nodded and made his way into the bathroom.
In Her room Kasumi set the black dress she would wear on her bed then as she gets ready her thought goes to Ranma. 'That baka, he didn't see the sign, what am I going to do with him?'
She thought. 'The other night was really sweet, but why did he kiss me?' the night after the date Kasumi slept really well. But the kiss she got from Ranma still tingles on her lips. Even now she has a smile even though today the day her mother passed away. With a small sigh Kasumi finished getting ready and left her room.
Cemetery
The three Tendos sisters took turns kneeling at their mothers grave while Mr. Tendo started to cry. Ranma stayed behind Kasumi as she payed her respect to her beloved mother.
She wasn't crying like he thought she would, no the pain in her eyes was long gone. Still Ranma found it hard. 'I think it's about time I ask My dear father what happen to my mother.'
When Kasumi stood up she looked at Ranma and smiled, then she hugged him. 'Nothing has changed Im still her best friend, maybe her only friend.' Ranma thought. Then ranma too payed his respect.
If it wasn't for Kimako he probably would still be under Genma control. 'I've kept my promise, I learn to control the neko ken, Thanks to you Pops no longer has control, I still have the letter you wrote to me and one day I will give it to K-chan' Ranma said with a bow.
When he stood back up he saw Xian Pu and Ryoga cornering His father.
"Come on now I don't know what your talking about. I found Ranma in the streets that's all."
Genma lied.
"Ready and I'm a unicorn." Ryoga said. "And I can turn into a dragon, spill it old man you know something about Ranma's Mother." Xian Pu said back. Nabiki looked at the old man and saw the fear in his eyes. 'He knows something.' She thought.
Soun stopped crying and Looked at his old friend wondering if what he did was right.
Years ago, When Ranma was five they stayed at his house. Having asked why Genma repay was the truth that he took Ranma in the middle of the night for a training trip. Soun was surprised, He know Nodoka, She would have never allowed a thing to happen. Still Kimako was there and Soon Soun and Genma started his training. Kimako would make phone calls to let them know that her husband and Son would be okay but never once did she betray her husband's friend
trust, Then one day Kimako asked Soun to make the call.
It was soon found out that Nodoka left her home. Only to end up at the Tendo's door step one day asking about her son. Sadly Genma decided that a road trip was needed and left. To this day
no one but Nabiki knows her whereabouts.
Tendo's Dojo: Four days later.
Soun went to get his mail as Genma made a cheating move on his Go broad.
Soun looked through his mail one caught his eye, It was a single letter and it was short.
I FINALLY FOUND YOU GANMA SAOTOME.
Nodoka Saotome.
'Oh no she found us. I have to get Ranma and go.' Genma thought but would Ranma Listen.
"Who's Nodoka." Ryoga asked. Genma looked at his student. "No one pack up where leaving." Genma said but then Suddenly felt a could chill run down his back.
Turning around he found an angry Ranma with his eyes close and fist raising. "We just got here and now you want to leave because of some woman? WHAT KIND OF MARTIAL ARTIST ARE YOU?" Ranma punched his father into the koi pond. "Baka we're staying understand?"
As Ranma left muttering about a coward of a father, there came a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Akane Said, She made her way to the door and opened it. She was greeted to the sit of a young woman in her early 30's wearing a blue colored kimono with sakura leaves on it.
The kimono was tried with a white and yellow sash. The woman's radish hair was done into a nice braid and then put in a bun.
What got Akanes' attention the fact that the woman was carrying a sword at her side.
"My I help you?" Akane asked. The woman bowed. "Yes Im looking for my son and Husband, I believe you know them Akane chan. They are Ranma and Genma Saotome." Akane looked at the older woman. Then her eyes wide in surprise. " AUNTIE! Yes, yes come in I'll get them right away." Akane said as she led the woman in.
"Hello again Nodoka." Soun Said as he walked in for the outside pouch. "It's good to see you again." Nodoka bowed to her friend. "That it is. As you know Im here, to see my son and Speak to my husband." Nodoka said getting down to the point. Soun nodded. "Yes they are out in the dojo." Soun said as he lead her to said Dojo.
When they got there Ranma was sparring off against Ryoga and Shampoo. To Nodoka surprise he was winning. Then she saw a Panda playing with a tire in the corner. "You have a pet panda?"
Soun looked to where she was pointing. "No That's Genma. No-chan Im Sorry for all the years I lied to you." Nodoka looked at Soun.
"Im not mad at you Soun. Im Mad at Genma for what he did, but now I see that perhaps it wasn't a mistake."
As Nodoka watch her son Fight two more fighters joined the sparring match. It was no surprise that Akane and Kasumi would join in. Kasumi was already a good fighter she can tell just by watching. Akane needed work as she got thrown into Ryoga. Ranma looked like he was having fun as he did several spin kicks to Ryoga's mid section. Knocking him out of the match.
Now it was just the two female teens, Kasumi held her own as Xian Pu, attacked from the right.
Kasumi attacked with a straight, which Ranma dodged and foot sweep her to the ground. Xian Pu wasn't so lucky as Ranma counted her with a kick combo. Then he grabbed her gi and Flapped her into Ryoga and Akane.
Nodoka Saw her son was playing around when Kasumi got back up and started to attack ranma.
Nodoka saw her son as a great fighter just like her husband had promise but knew better as she knew that a lot of dojo had trained him to be better then his father. There was no way that Ganma could train him to be this good when he himself wasn't a good martial artist.
The match ended when Ranma kicked out Kasumi legs and landed a knee on Kasumi's throat.
Nodoka clapped. Never had she seen anything so amazing in her life. Ranma blushed and bowed to his mother. "Why Thank you Ma'am. Would you like classes?" Ranma asked. Nodoka smiled.
"No Ranma. I came to see my son." Nodoka said as she hugged Ranma. Ranma blushed. "Mom? But the letter said you wouldn't be here until the 17th." Ranma just realize the date. When His mother let him go Nodoka had tears in her eyes.
"Can you ever forgive me my dear son?" She asked. "It was my fault that I let you get stolen from me. I should have stopped Genma along time ago." She then got on her knees and hands and bowed deeply to him. Ranma looked at his mother.
"Mom you couldn't have known that pops would take me. Im just glade your alive." Ranma said as he kneeled in front of his mother and hold her in his arms. Genma saw his chance to get away, but before he could Nodoka stopped him as she moved fast out of Ranmas arms and stopped Genma by placing the Family honor sword at his throat. " I'm not finished with you."
Genma sweat dropped. "Now Nodoka, I only did it for the Boy best interest." He said.
"I only did what was needed to do." Ranma stepped foreword. " Then you wouldn't mine if I challenge you in a fight for the Saotome Dojo. Or are you a coward to face your son?" Ranma called to his father.
Genma looked at his son. "Fine boy. If I win you and Kasumi have to get married."
"What No fair." Ryoga yelled.
"Stupid Panda" Xian Pu called
Ranma Held up his hand. "That's fine because I won't lose. When I Win you handover th title of Master of the Saotome school of anything goes. Your to Dishonorable to keep the title."
Genma growled but said nothing. "We'll see boy. In two weeks we'll fight here in the dojo. We'll see who's better." Then he left.
Nodoka looked at her son. "I take it thinks didn't go so well on the training trip." Nodoka said.
"No Mother it didn't, and I'll tell you what happen, But you not going to like what you hear." Then Ranma beings to tell his mother everything.
