"Where's Ranma?" Akane asked as she sat down for breakfast, "I went to wake him up, but he was gone."
"Got him doing some stuff for me today." Nabiki mumbled groggily.
"Here you go Nabiki." Kasumi smiled as she handed her sister a cup of coffee.
"What do you have him doing?" Akane glanced at Nabiki suspiciously.
"Eh, bunch a different little odds and ends, it could take all day." Nabiki smiled as she inhaled the scent of her coffee, "Thank you Kasumi." Nabiki said as she held her cup up to her sister.
"Your welcome Nabiki, and you don't need to worry about Ranma he'll be fine I even gave him a bento before he left so he will be fine." Kasumi smiled at her sisters.
"I guess, I'm going to go out to the dojo and work out." Akane stated.
"So what is Ranma really doing today?" Kasumi asked.
"Eh, what do you mean sis." Nabiki asked.
Kasumi gave a pointed look to Nabiki, "Ranma came in with a bow and a quiver full of arrows, asks me if anything is going on tomorrow, then hurries away to talk to you."
"…" Was Nabiki's reply.
Sigh "Let's just go watch him at the archery competition." Kasumi said.
"What? How did you know about that?" Nabiki asked.
"I go shopping a lot and I saw the flyer's they were handing out to get people to go and compete or just to watch, Ranma with Bow and Arrows a day before an Archery Competition, well I just gave a guess after that." Kasumi said.
"Wait you mean you didn't know?" Nabiki questioned.
"Right, it was just a guess to see how you would respond to it." Kasumi smiled
"Pretty sneaky sis, well I swore to Ranma I wouldn't say anything to anyone or sell the information, but I know you're the one person in town I can tell a secret to and it won't spread so I'll tell you on the way there." Nabiki smirked
"Oh just a second." Kasumi said as she began writing a note.
Akane,
Nabiki and I are going out and should be gone most of the day, Daddy and Mister Saotome are both sleeping off hangover's so you'll have to be the one to take care of lunch, just worry about the three of you and the takeout menu's are in the top Drawer on the right side in the kitchen.
Kasumi
"Hmm, are you sure it's wise to tell Akane to take care of lunch, I mean she'll probably try to cook rather then order takeout." Nabiki said as she read the note.
"I know, but then Daddy and Mister Saotome should have told me they wouldn't be home for dinner yesterday." Kasumi smiled as she walked off.
'Oh lord they managed to piss off Kasumi, the last person to do that…' Nabiki gulped, 'May the Kami have mercy on them.'

Megumi whistled happily as she walked into her torture room. "I know I said I would check back in an hour, but I was hungry and I went to get food with Vlad and then I ate so much I got sleepy and went to sleep. So how are you today?"
"M-make it S-STOP, please for lo-ove of eve-ery-yth-hing it's dr-riving me cr-crazy." The woman cried.
"Well then Nami, to make it stop you know what you have to do. Just tell the truth." Megumi said sweetly.
"I w-was cov-vering fo-or J-jin, h-he w-was the o-one w-who su-ummo-oned the d-demons t-that att-tacked R-ranma." Nami spoke in gasps.
'He managed to make it through my initial interrogation, damn he's gonna pay for that.' Megumi seethed. "Why did he do it, and why did you lie to cover for him."
"H-he d-didn't te-ell me why, and I d-did it b-bec-cause he and I are… I mean we are k-kind of… th-that is." Nami stuttered.
"You're Lovers?" Megumi asked.
"N-no, I, we, I r-really l-like h-him and he k-knew it and w-when it h-happened he c-came and t-talked to me and a-ask-ked me for my h-help s-said t-to c-cover for him if any q-ques-stions w-were a-asked." Nami said.
'That son of a bitch, that's how he got around me. He was using her infatuation with him and let her take his place. He must have been hoping she would say she did it herself. He was going to use her as a sacrificial lamb. Looks like I have another patient' Megumi thought, "Healer, give her the antidote and then take her to the small briefing room, get her food and anything she needs, make sure it's the one connected to the bathroom, I'll be in to talk to her later, also bring in the next one."
"And Jin?" The Healer asked.
"Don't let the news get back to those who passed the initial interrogations, after I'm done with the last one on the list, I'll personally drag that trash out and he'll be put through the worst torture imaginable." Megumi growled out.
"Yes ma'am." The healer gulped, 'Oh shit, someone got under her skin the last time someone did that we were picking entrails out of the building for a month.'

"Hey Orobas, you miss me?" Saki asked as she walked towards Bacon's airship which had a man with long dark hair standing next to it.
"Hey kid, better believe it, you find the Émigré manuscript?" Orobas asked.
"Yep, I also found the monster it created." Saki said.
"I'm worried, there is no way that man was the one who broke the seal I placed over that book when I hid it under Orbonne Monastery. He wouldn't have been able to get passed the cursed souls who roam there nor would he have the talent to break the seal." Roger frowned as he walked towards his airship.
"I'm forced to agree, someone gave that book to him." Saki grimaced.
"You think it was our enemies?" Orobas asked.
"Possibly, they have the means to get the book, the ability to break powerful seals, and they know we would drop everything to go after it because the destruction it could cause." Roger said.
"What about your contact on the inside of the organization, does he have any new info?" Saki asked Orobas
"No, they seem to have become suspicious and he's keeping quiet, so no new information, for all I know my contact could already be dead." Orobas responded.
"It's a good thing we weren't relying on you to get what we needed, get aboard we're in a hurry." Roger growled.
"Hey, Roger why are you being such an ass?" Saki called out to Roger who ignored her and walked to the inside of the airship, "Come on lets just stay on the deck.
"Okay." Orobas said as he followed Saki.
"I don't get it, Roger is usually a pretty happy excitable guy, but he's rarely a complete ass like he just was, just cause you're a demon doesn't give him the right to act like that." Saki said sounding upset.
"I understand why he's upset, its many things coming together that's bothering him. This organization we are battling is very similar to Sapientes Gladio, the shadow organization that organized the holy mistletoe curse on your Uncle Yuri that was in the end what caused his demise. You remind him of Yuri, your attitude and fusion monsters are more like Yuri's then Kurando's, he's also very worried about you. Your fighting the shadow organization alone to avenge your family you don't have anyone other then me and Roger to help you out and neither of us have the power we once did so in battles you generally fight alone, even Yuri had friends to help against his enemies. That it was a human with a demon like me in them, that was the leader of Sapientes Gladio and another Human with a demon in them was the one who actually landed the mistletoe curse on Yuri means he hates demons like me because they were what killed his friend." Orobas spoke.
"… It still doesn't mean he should be so rude to you. You've been helping my family ever since Anastasia, Kurando, and Yuri defeated you. You and Kurando stayed with her when her family was murdered and the Russian Tsardom was overthrown. You could have escaped then or used the darkness in her heart to posses her, but you didn't. As far as I'm concerned you're my friend." Saki whispered.
"And I'm your friend, don't worry about Roger, I think he'll warm up to me it will just take time." Orobas said. "Now where are we going and why?"
"Nerima, Japan to meet a Godslayer that Roger's friend Happosai knows." Saki smiled.
"A Godslayer?" Orobas wondered. "There's a new one?"
"According to Roger's it's this sweet thing here" Saki leered as she held up a photo of Ranma.
'Oh boy, this is just what I need a horny hormonal teenager. I mean I know I tried to conquer the world and everything, but you would think having your plan ripped apart by a twelve year old girl would be punishment enough.' Orobas thought miserably.

'Well here we are.' Kikyo thought as she looked around the school.
'Well go sign up, you don't want to miss the deadline.'
'Right.' Kikyo thought as she walked towards the sign up booth.
"Hello, my name is Kikyo, I would like to sign up for the Archery Competition." Kikyo said to a boy in a black school uniform.
"Well it's nice to meet you, to sign up all you need to do is write your name and pay the thousand yen entrance fee." The boy stated. "The tournament starts in a few hours, they'll announce it over the intercom when they need the contestants to meet over there." The boy said as he pointed to an area that had many targets set up.
"Thank you, have a nice day." Kikyo smiled.
"Ah, y-yes you too." The boy blushed.
'Let's take a look at some of the booths the students here have set up.' Kikyo thought.
'Sure thing, and if you see anything you want buy it.'
'Okay, what about you, if there's something you want let me know.'
'Alright, now let's go walk around.'
After a few minutes of walking around 'Something about some of the girls seems to be familiar, but I can't quite place it.'
'Maybe it's the school uniform they're wearing, a lot of the girls are wearing their school clothes.'
'There school uniform… Oh shit, this is the same uniform Kagome would wear, this must be the school she went to. We have to leave now.'
'Whoa calm down, just cause she went to this school doesn't mean we are in the right year, it could be before she went into the past or after she graduated for all we know, besides you shouldn't have to hide from her.'
'I still think we should leave.' Kikyo thought, 'I'm not sure how she would take to seeing me, or if Inuyasha were here how he would respond to seeing me.'
'Well, why don't you just turn into your male form then, even if you look similar they wouldn't think it was you if they run into you.'
'Hey good idea that booth around that last corner was selling hot tea we could get some there let's go.' Kikyo thought as she turned the corner before stopping dead. Straight ahead stood Inuyasha in modern clothes with Kagome holding onto one arm, both with looks of shock on their face as they stared at Kikyo who's presence interrupted the kiss the two were sharing.

Um… Well they met Kagome for all those who were asking. Smiles.
