FH= People pointed out that there are almost no Ranma parts to the fic, but
don't worry this is still a crossover, by the way I know almost nothing about
Nodoka except that she seems to be a ditz in her mind. Sadly this chapter came
out after new years, stupid internet access.
R.Calumon= (yawns) FH what are you doing up, you have work tomorrow and its
really late.
FH= It's six pm R.Calumon, is it just me or do you like to sleep too much?
R.Calumon= what's wrong with the time I sleep
FH= fourteen hours a day?
R.Calumon= Hmm... let me think on that one....

Chapter Eight- Aunt Nodoka
Yami yawned as he crawled out from under some shavings, it was almost
new years and he had only been able to sneak off to the clubhouse once since
Christmas.
Apparently New Years was just as Celebrated by Travis family as
Christmas, this year one of Travis's aunts would be staying over the holiday.
*Hif hif hif*
Yami smiled as he smelled Travis's mother baking, awhile ago he realized
she didn't bake often unless there was an important person... this aunt must be
clearly important.
"Good morning Yami," a voice said cheerfully, Yami looked up and blinked
seeing the blue haired pre-teen looking into the cage at him.
"Heke," he said tilting his head, Travis smiled at his pet.
"I'm glad your awake, my aunt will be getting here any moment and I want
you to meet her... she loves anything furry," he said, Yami yawned again showing
his small strong white teeth.
'Wonder what she's like, hopefully she's not one of those people that
likes to hug furry creatures... she'd smother me if she did' he thought, he
shruddered at the thought of being hugged to death.
He wasn't a cuddly creature by nature, for one thing he had been born
human... and he still had human ideas of what cuddling feels like... smothering
wasn't in his agenda.
~DING DONG~
Yami blinked as he heard the doorbell go off, he watched in interest as
his human ran off to answer the door.
"She's here!" he heard Travis cry happily, he sighed wishing that Travis
had moved his cage so that he could see the aunt as she entered.
'Wonder what she's like' he thought, unknown to him life was about to
get a lot more interesting for him.
***
Nodoka smiled as she hugged her blue haired nephew, it had been awhile
since she had visited any part of her own family.
As it was she was in grief and wore black, she had gotten word from Soun
that her son had died in China along with her husband.
She almost wished she hadn't gone to visit the Tendo Dojo all those
weeks ago, at least before she had been able to dream her son was becoming a
man among man.
Now it felt as if her heart was bleeding from her grief, because of this
she was taking a promised visit to her sisters family... it wouldn't hurt as
much then by being with family.
'But I wonder why Soun had a panda in the dojo' she thought with
curiosity, but she decided not to question it... if only she had know.
"Auntie Nodoka, I'm so glad you could visit till school starts up again...
I have so much to show you," Travis said excitedly, Nodoka smiled and gave a
laugh.
While she thought her sister strange to have given her nephew a Gagin
name she wouldn't say anything, he was a perfect gentleman... something she had
hoped Ranma could have been... but now she would never know.
'My little Ranma, if only I had a chance to see you... as you would have
been now' she thought sadly, she then let Travis take her bags to the guest
room.
"Why thank you Travis, now what's this I hear about you having a pet?"
she asked, he smiled and ran to retrieve his pet.
***
Yami blinked as his human ran into the room and picked up his cage,
quickly he held onto his cage's side as Travis ran out of the room and towards
the guest room.
He have a hamster sigh of relief when the cage stopped shaking, it had
felt like an earthquake to his small hamster body. He wondered what had gotten
Travis so excitedly, finally he realized that he was being introduced to
someone.
"Yami this is my Aunt Nodoka, Auntie this is my pet Hamster Yami,"
Travis said with a smile, a person leaned down and looked into the cage... it
was then that Yami got a look at the persons face.
A slim heart shaped face that seemed ageless with deep brown eyes, last
was long reddish-brown hair pulled up into a tight traditional bun.
It was looking into this face that Yami felt himself freeze, it was as
if something had squeezed him and pounded him with the thing called Djˆ vu.
'I know her' he thought, and he remembered.
~
A small black haired child laughed as his mother held him into the air
and kissed him, two year old Ranma giggled and hugged the woman. With small
chubby fingers he touched her perfect face, something that looked at him with
all her love.
"I love you Ranma, you're my light... make me proud my little wild horse
as you grow up," she whispered with a smile, Ranma giggled not really
understanding this but the fact she loved him.
~
'Mother' Yami thought, he looked at the human in front of him and wanted
to cry. He could no longer claim her as mother now, Ranma had died in China
when Yami the hamster had been born on the cursed day.
'If only I could tell you' he thought sadly and silently, h hadn't
remembered anything about her al these years... but now he remembered something.
She had loved him... but why had she let Genma take him away from her, why
hadn't she let him know she loved him all these years... what type of mother was
she.
***
Nodoka was taken back when she saw the hamster, she didn't know why but
those blue eyes reminded her of her departed sons eyes. In the Japanese Blue
was a rare color, this hamster was the first she had seen with the same shade
of blue as Ranma.
"Very cute," she said pulling away from the cage, she put on a smile to
hide the grief she felt at the memory of her sons eyes.
"Thanks auntie, I'll just put his cage back in my room," he said, he
then turned and calmly walked back towards his room.
'Oh Ranma I curse myself for letting Genma take you away from me, if I
hadn't you would still be alive' she thought, a single tear fell down her
face. She knew that there was no way she could make up for that mistake, after
all Ranma wasn't there for her to beg forgiveness from.
"Ranma," she whispered, if only she had one more chance to see him.

hamtaroverse).
