Chapter 2: Hiryu's Arrival
Ranma and Akane were currently sitting in the Saotome living room, which was in a sad state of disarray thanks to the three, would be suitors of Ranma coming to visit him once he and his mother reunited a month ago. The new young couple were currently explaining what they plan to do with the two women that the couple care about most Nodoka and Kasumi, the reasons why they want to leave. Ranma sat uncomfortably with Akane holding her hand, while watching her mother talk on the phone with her father.
Nodoka nods mentally looking up at her son listening to her father on the other end, "Thank you father, yes it would be great that Yugi and Ranma get reunited. Sure I'll tell him, and you don't mind his fiancée is coming with him?" she asked after a few seconds she smiles saying goodbye to her father hanging up the phone. Turning to her son and gives him a bright yet strained smile, "Your grandfather, Yugi, and his friends will be waiting at the train station when you arrive tomorrow," she gave a pause thinking about all that Ranma finally confided in her at the behest of her son's fiancée her faced darkened. "I am terribly sorry dear," tears gently rolled down her cheeks, "A mother is suppose to protect her child from such abuse, but I foolishly let your father take you..."
Akane reached out and her future mother-in-law, "You had no idea what he was going to do, please don't blame yourself."
