Chapter 2: The Reason He's here
That Evening at the Tendo household…
"Kasumi I'm home!" exclaimed Akane as she strolled through the sliding entrance to the Tendo household, "Welcome back Akane. Where's Ranma?" Kasumi asked.
"I thought he came home for lunch?"
"No. He didn't." Kasumi said politely.
"He's probably out with that Hussy Xian Pu!" Akane said angrily. Ever since the failed wedding Akane has been in a nasty mood that got worse with every passing day and poor Ranma, who had little trust from Akane to begin with, was no trusted at all. During this time, with a bad luck as Ranma, the sliding door opened to show a cheery Ranma standing outside.
"Hello Kasumi! I'm home!" Ranma said in a jolly mood.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Akane yelled with enough force that the glass on the sliding doors cracked.
"Calm down Akane, I was at Ucchan's with a person who helped me with Kuno." Ranma explained.
"YOU LIAR! YOU WHERE OUT HAVING SOME JOLLY TIME WITH UKYOU WEREN"T YOU RANMA NO BAKA!" she yelled rushing towards Ranma with a gigantic mallet she got out of her mysterious sub-space pocket. Ranma closed his eyes and put his arms across his face to guard against the mallet and waiting for the inevitable to happen … but the mallet never came. When Ranma opened his eyes he saw the cloaked figure with his fist up where the mallet head should be but the only sign that showed any thing about what happened was the arm of the mallet and some fine wood dust on the floor below the impact of the mallet with the fist.
"How in the world?" Ranma began but was cut off by the sheer amount of power this man held.
"Wow I kinda figured that she was violent and didn't listen to reason. But this is just ludicrous!" The cloaked figure said putting his arm back own and walking past the shocked Akane who at that point was wide-eyed and frozen in shock at what happened.
"You must be Ranma's friend correct?" Kasumi said bowing politely to the man.
"Yes you could say that. Oh! Where are my manners! My name is Kyo and " The man said bowing down to Kasumi.
"Hey Kyo, Follow me and then we can go and spar in the dojo." Ranma said taking Kyo's hand and leading him into the dojo. Akane got out of her trance and turned to Kasumi then asks, "What the hell happened just now?"
"I think you got your just dessert."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Akane asked confused by what Kasumi, the polite and always kind one of the family, just said to her.
"What do you think it means?" Kasumi replied walking away to prepare dinner.
'she needs to get her head out of ass and start thinking clearly instead of hurting poor Ranma… Oh Dear! What am I thinking' Kasumi shook her head and prepared the dishes, 'Oh dear! I should ask if Kyo is going to stay for dinner.' Kasumi thought then walked toward the dojo whereRanma and Kyo went to.
Meanwhile in the dojo…
Ranma and Kyo were at it for a couple minutes now and Ranma was starting to sweat he couldn't figure out what style this guy used it was an unknown stance and he looked like he was in a constant state of Umi- sen- ken and his power was on par with the strongest attacks of the Yama- sen- ken.
"You have nice speed Ranma, and the power to match… you also can adapt to all challenges and bend them to fit your needs, amazing!" Kyo said with a warm smile.
"thanks"
"But you lack the necessary emotional strength to learn any more ki- attacks other than those that feed off emotion."
"ho-" Ranma was about to ask but Kasumi came in at that time, "oh, sorry to bother you session but Kyo, are you staying for dinner?" She asked sweetly.
"Uh…"
"Oh come on you could stay and eat some of Kasumi's delicious cooking! It's the best I've eaten in all my life!" Ranma said excitedly.
"Ok" Kyo said giving in, "And this also gives me time to explain my entire reason I came here too."
"Dinner will be ready in a couple hours so do what you would like to do Kyo." Kasumi said bowing down and leaving the dojo to continue cooking.
Later that evening in the Tendo Family/ Dining room…
"DINNER IS READY!" Kasumi yelled out so everyone could hear her and as usual everyone ran towards the dining area and they all took their place: Kasumi at the head, to her left Tendo Soun, then Genma, followed by Nabiki, Kyo, Happosai, Akane then Ranma. Dinner went off without a hitch and today Genma and Happosai actually behaved themselves, probably because Akane was giving off a bright red aura of anger staring at Kyo, who seemed to be ignoring her for most of the dinner.
After Dinner…
"Thank you for inviting me to have dinner Kasumi it was one of the most delicious meals I have eaten in a while!" Kyo said bowing.
"Well Your very welcome Kyo." Kasumi said then walked away to wash the dishes.
"Hey, didn't you want to explain why you came to Nerima in the first place Kyo?" Ranma asked.
"Well before I tell you anything I should ask that a Nodoka Saotome come and hears this too because what I am about to say will affect all of us… mostly you Ranma."
"Ok. I will go and call mother right now." Ranma was about to leave when they heard a knock on the door.
"I'll get it!" Nabiki said and then walked off to answer the door. A few minutes she came back to the room with who else, Nodoka Saotome.
"Now I can start the explanations… but before that I would advise tying down Genma here because even though he doesn't remember me I sure remember the Hell he put his own adopted-son"
To be continued…
(I know I made some of these characters out of their usual mind set but it was to move the story on.)
