Nodoka frowned as she looked around the house as she had just finished dinner and could only find the two eldest Tendo sisters who were watching something on TV. It had been like this for a couple of days now ever since that incident with the older brother of Nabiki's friend Kodachi. She having search around for her son and his best friend who would sometime leave and come back with their clothes completely ruined.

'At this rate they will run through all their clothes by the end of the month not to mention they might ended up hurting each other if they keep up that level of fighting just to deal with their angry over what happened with Kuno' she thought.

To prevent this she made them both promise they would not leave the house today as they had school tomorrow so she did not want them possibly getting injured or worse before their first day at their new school. Though she search the whole house and every area the two of them would usually lounge around while at home she could not seem to find them at all.

Just then a large boom and tremor shook the area follow by high pitched scream that sounded like it could shatter glass from the pitch of it.

Rushing to the backyard where Nodoka was sure these thing came from she saw Ryoga with Aura hanging on his back in manner similar to a panda cub she originally.

"What going on here?" Nodoka asked curiously as where the Dojo should be was now just a pile of rumble

"Two people that should never spar in a building while angry and they do not know the meaning of the word holding back once they get lost in the act" Ryoga said sighing

There in the ruined dojo was Ranma and Toph trading blows with each other. Each one a mixture of martial art and bending. Ranma many be a better martial artist then Toph but she was the better bender so there was no one with a clear cut way of telling who was doing better. Their advantage over the other in one area did not really manner when they using a mixture of the two as it only effect how they would react to each other. Ranma using his bending more as way of boosting his natural talent as fighter while Toph used her bending to make up for her inexperience as one. Being good at bending did not necessarily translated over to being good at normal fighting unless you were a firebender like Akane.

As two teenagers were busy engaging each other with rocks and gust of wind flying everywhere. The rocks that would have been danger to the neighbors but they were getting stopped by Akane and Shampoo. While on the side near a ruined dojo was Soun who was out cold by stray rock that knock him upside the head. The dried tears running down his face it could be seen that he was doing the waterfall tears thing before being knocked out.

"How did this happen? I thought keeping them from going away from the house would prevent something like this from happening" Nodoka asked curiously.

"Well it started out as simple spar but something just seem to click within them and the fighting kept getting more and more serious in till it was at this level. At first Ranma was only help Toph improve on her basic non-bending related fighting skills. Something must have remainder them of Kuno or maybe they realized something that just set them off" Ryoga said.

"Well Dinner is ready so they can come get it when its….ready?" Ranma's mother said though the shortly after the words 'dinner is ready' left her mouth she was getting pulled towards the kitchen by Aura.

"Come on mommy lets go, I am hungry" she said.

"We should really wait for your brother and Toph before eating though" her mother asked

"Big Brother….Toph…dinner is ready" Aura called out as the instant she said the two sparring teen instantly stopped.

'They are really spoiling her as all they drop everything at a moment notice for her' Ryoga thought sighing though he was not much better then them.

As everyone went in to eat they were forgetting one little thing that had slipped all their minds at the moment. That being Soun was still laying outside unconscious by his now ruined dojo which was not build to house a pissed off earthbender and airbender fighting each other.

Later that night….

"What this guy crying about now?" Akane sighed as looked at Soun crying…again.

"He just upset that we forget about him when it came to dinner" Kasumi told her youngest sister 'At least she is making progress as she acknowledge that father lives here and is not some random stranger we picked up off the street'

"Shut up Snuffles! Start acting like a man already as I never seen someone who acted so feminine before" Toph yelled knocking him out and then going back to instructing Ryoga on various earth bending techniques.

While Aura practicing her waterbending near the Koi pond under Shampoo's watch and Ranma was to the uniformed seem to be lounging around on bed of air. Though in reality he was not actually working on his airbending as maintaining his bed of air took surprising amount of concentration and skill.

"Well let get him into bed then" Kasumi sighed as she took her father's arms and Akane grabbed his leg.

"Kasumi why does someone like that even live here?" Akane asked after they just dropped Soun on his bed

The oldest Tendo wanted to say that he was their father yet Akane did not seem ready to accept that fact just yet.

"Though he does not do much here he is a important member of this household" she respond to her sister.

"Got that right as all this guy seem to do is read the paper at breakfast and loss to Aura at Shogi all the time even after he has cheated" Akane replied.
