Chapter two

Ranma stood at the doors of the Tendo home holding his daughters carrier. Looking around he saw that not much had changed since he left three years ago...he was just about to knock when he heard a voice behind him...

"Ranma?" A vaguely familiar voice spoke.

"That depends who wants to..." he trailed of looking at the rather voluptous and seducing vision that was Akane she was wearing a rather skimpy outfit, a shirt that had shown off a little more cleavage that should have been allowed, the skirt was barely covering her butt, and heels that he would have thought that she would be too accident prone to wear.

"A-A-A-AKANE?!" he choked out, as his eyes returned to his sockets.

"Yep expecting someone else?" she replied cooly.

"not really," he replied regaining his calm.

"oh well could you let me by?" Akane asked as sweetly as she could.

"oh...uh...sure..." he stuttered as she walked by him. He could smell a rather sweet perfume and wondered when did Akane lose her tomboyish ways and infused herself with Madonna...when another voice came to bring him out of his reverie.

"Well My boy its seems you have returned!" sounded the voice of his father. His mother and father were seated around the living room table like he had four years prior. It looked like that they had been there a while. It was as if almost he hadn't left.

He set his daughter and her carrier down...

"Genma dont pester the boy," Nodoka spoke looking up at her son,"It is certainly good to see you, my son," his mother spoke in a soft voice. Standing up she walked up to hug him.

"Well Boy it seems that you have something to tell your mother and I?" Genma asked suspiciously eyeing the bundle next to Ranma...His mother looked that way also and squealed like a little girl and ran to pick up his daughter.

"uh...yeah...mom, dad, meet Naoko...my daughter," he said scratching the back of his head. Right about then Kasumi and Nabiki walked in the room. For some odd reason Soun wasn't around

"Way to go, Soatome" was all that Nabiki could say. Kasumi just Smiled and tended to her duties as usual. He looked around his mother sat back down with his daughter and his father just kind of "hmpf"ed.

The rest of the day past rather casually. Ryoga showed up shortly after Ranma did but said nothing and disappeared upstairs with Akane. Soun appeared around six but looked rather sickly. Dinner was served and everyone ate. Oddly enough nothing splashed him to trigger his curse.

Around nine Ranma set Naoko down to sleep and went to see Nabiki. He walked up and knocked at her bedroom door.

"Who is it?" came her voice.

"It's Ranma, can I speak to you a moment?" Ranma asked.

"Yeah, sure, hold on let me get dressed really quick," she replied. Ranma heard a scurry of feet and then the door opened.

"Come on in," she said looking at him. Ranma stood looking around in her room, it seems nothing had changed here either,"so what can I do for you Ranma?"

"Oh not much," Ranma started,"I know youre the gossip queen and genuinely the one who knows what goes on around Nerima, I just wanted to find out whats been going on."

Nabiki smiled and motioned for him to sit on her bed.

"Well there is lots to tell, it's been a while so I won't charge you, for now, so lets gossip," she giggled and began to tell her stories about how Shampoo had multiple love interest, what had happened to most of their old school mates and how many of them actually made it to college, and the little quirky, odd, and embarrasing tales involving Ryoga and Akane.

"So Shampoo has been around the block huh?" Ranma said while chuckling.

"Yeah, even Kuno had a shot which is surprising considering I thought that boy would never get any," Nabiki replied giggling,"even that computer nerd Gosenkugi had one."

"Really? Wow, thats scary" replied a shocked Ranma.

At that precise moment both of them heard some multiple knocks on the wall in the room that came off and on.

"Well it seems Ryoga and Akane are at it again," Nabiki said giggling slightly. Several hard knocks on the wall followed emphasizing her point.

"oh my god..." Ranma state as he started to laugh even harder.

"you haven't seen nothing when I first walked in on them, it was..." Nabiki went on to explain another Ryoga and Akane tale which ended in the results of her and Ranma laughing until they were in tears.

It wasn't till after two in the morning when she finished. It was then something flew through the window, hitting Ranma square in the forehead knocking him down to the floor. Nabiki ran over pick up that particular something and discovered it was a rock with a note wrapped around it.

"Stay away from her, Shes mine...," Nabiki read aloud as she opened the note. She ran to the window to see who threw it but no one was outside. When she turned around her father and Kasumi stood in the door to her room.

"Sister what happened are you ok?," Kasumi asked looking concerned.

"Yes what happened, my daughter?," Soun asked.

"Someone threw a rock with a note wrapped around it and hit Ranma in the head," she said setting the rock down,"Speaking of which, Ranma, are you ok?"

Ranma sat up from his place on the floor but continued to shake his head around looking around frantically.

"Ranma, Whats wrong?" Kasumi and Soun both asked rather urgently.

"I'm blind" he said stoically.

A/N

lovely time for a cliffhanger isnt it? I read the reviews so dont worry the plot eventually thickens there is a reason the rock made Ranma BLIND...All the usual is welcome let me know what you think
