OK time for the disclaimer. I don't own anything but the plot. MINE, YOU CAN"T HAVE IT FROM ME HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... sorry got a little carried away.

anyway on with the show!

Setsuna turned to the voice "I know Genma Saotome; I also know what has been done to your son with these so called sadistic exercises that you call training." Her cold and venomous voice silenced Genma, quickly freezing him in fear. Slowly lowering the child in her lap to the floor, Setsuna stood. Glaring at the monster in human flesh in front of her, she quickly changed into her senshi guise and pulled out the Time Key.

Genma was quick to back up in fear as the old women changed into a beautiful young armed woman. Feeling the rage and power rolling off the young women Genma fell to his knees and in an instant he was in The Crouch of the Wild Tiger "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Genma babbled while shamelessly cowered in front of the Sailor Senshi Pluto.

"I will be taking him back to his mother" stated Pluto as she walked up to the man. Genma froze in the middle of his bowing. 'my retirement, she's gonna take my RETIREMENT, NO SHE CAN"T I WON"T LET HER' "HE'S MINE!!" Genma shouted as he launched a quick punch jumping at Pluto. Pluto sidestepped the attack and stabbed out with her staff knocking him to the ground. "Grrrr, NO ONE WILL TAKE MY RETIREMENT FROM ME, NO ONE!!" Jumping back, Genma raised and crossed his arms. "Kijin Raishu Dan!" Quickly, two vacuum blades were launched at Pluto. Not knowing the attack, she teleported behind Genma. "Dead Scream!" Pluto's signature attack barreled into Genma knocking him unconscious. Being cautious of him, Pluto made her way over to the smoking body of Genma. She checked to see if he was injured, but determining he was only unconscious. Pluto placed her hand upon his back and teleported away with him. This way, Genma would not be able to bother Ranma till it was too late.

Sailor Pluto appeared with an unconscious Genma on a cliff over looking a hundred springs. With a satisfied smirk, she tossed the waste of skin over to the valley below. After staying to hear the splash, she turned and teleported away. She heard the guide begin to shout "Oh no, customer fall in spring of drowned…" but was gone before he finished.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reappearing in the clearing with the house, Pluto walked up to where she left Ranma. She shifted back to her civilian clothes and sat down to ait for him to wake up

Stirring, Ranma sat up to meet the world with a yawn. 'seems kinda late to be waking up. Pop usually starts the day with a spar.'

"What time is it, Pop?" asked Ranma as he stood up to stretch.

"Its 3:41 in the afternoon." answered an unfamiliar voice.

Whipping his head around to look at the voice, Ranma fell in to a combat stance. "Who're ya lady? Where's my Pop?"

Setsuna smiled at the boy and held her hands up to show him that she mean no harm. "My name is Setsuna. I found you in the forest and as for you father, let's just say he's finding a new direction in life."

Ranma looked peculiarly at Setsuna before lowering his guard. "What do ya want lady?"

Setsuna lowered her arms, walked slowly over to Ranma, kneeled down to his level, and put a gentle hand on his shoulder. Looking in to his expressive blue eyes said "I'm going to take you back to your mother, Ranma."

Ranma's eyes widened. Before she could react, she was on her back with Ranma on top of her hugging her with all his strength. "thankyouthankyouthankyou…" was all she could make out as Ranma continued to babble.

Laughing softly to herself, she got back to her knees before returning the hug and a quiet "Your Welcome."

Nodoka Saotome was putting up the laundry to dry. It was a quiet afternoon and she was just finishing the household chores. She sighed and looked of into the distance with a forlorn look. 'One year today, He has been gone, one year today.' She missed her son terrible but she let her husband take him on that training trip so that Ranma could be the best heir possible for her husband's school. She knew what kinda man Genma was, but she loved him anyway. Her father took an instant dislike to the man. It had cause a split between them as he would not let her marry him. But she didn't care as long as she was by the man that she loved.

/ring… ring…/

She was brought out of her thoughts as the bell for the front gate rang. 'Hmmm, wonder who this could be?'

Nodoka walked up to the gate and slowly opened it. "Hello. How may I help you?" she said to the tall green haired woman.

"…momma…?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Few minutes before

Setsuna looked down at her small charge. He was getting nervous and fidgety. It brought a small smile to her face. "Ranma, don't worry. Your mother will be happy to see you." She was trying to ease him with the comment.

Ranma turned and looked up at her with wide eyes. "Are you sure Aunt Setsuna?" the name brought a twitch Setsuna's eye. She did not comment though, Ranma had taken to calling her Aunt at some point in the last few weeks; and against her better judgment, she had told him it was ok to call her by it.

"Yes I'm sure Ranma-chan." This time it was Ranma turn to eye twitch and he glared cutely up at her. It was her way of getting back at him.

With a smirk she stopped and pushed the buzzer to the Saotome home.

A minute or two passed and Ranma got more nervous. Finally the gate opened and a tall red hair woman stood there.

"Hello, how may I help you?"

"…momma…?"

Startled, the woman looked down to see a child, her child.

"R-Ranma…?"

The child nodded his head and Nodoka swept him up into a huge hug. "RANMA ohhh… How I've missed you so much. My little boy's come home!"

With tears in her eyes, she pulled back to take a look at him. His hair was in a cute pig tail and his blue-grey eyes shined with unshed tears and happiness mirrored her own. He had a bandage under his right eye and scratches along his neck and arms. Some still pink from healing.

Frowning she looked over to the women who had come with her son. "Where's my husband and why does my son look like he got mauled by an animal miss…?"

"Meioh Setsuna, Mrs. Saotome, if I could come in for a few minutes. I'll explain to you what happen to your husband."

Nodoka's frown deepened but she step to the side; still holding her son who looked like he was drifting asleep. "Come in Miss Meioh. It seems we have a lot to talk about."

"Please call me Setsuna, Mrs. Saotome."

"Only if you call me Nodoka, Miss Meioh."

Escorting Setsuna into her sitting room, Nodoka told her to make herself comfortable while she put Ranma to bed. The dear had fallen asleep in her arms with a small content smile.

A few minutes later she was back from putting Ranma to bed. She asked Setsuna if she would like some tea.

"No thank you Nodoka, We have a lot to talk about and I have a busy day to finish."

"Ok. Tell me where my husband is and what he has done?"

Setsuna settle down and began explanation.

An Hour later the neighborhood was subjected to a scream of rage.

"GENMA NO BAKA!!!!"

Somewhere in china, Genma fell into a stream in a sneezing fit. A ward over, a little girl sneezed and muttered something as she rolled over in her sleep.

A.N.

i realized after my first post the issues that you brought up and have fixed them to the best of my abilities. And if any one wants to be a victum with my experiments in writing please volunteer. I only have one person right now and she does not watch anime so i need a proof reader who knows the anime involved to help out.
