Lady Red Scythe: It seems Phoenixir-sama needs something to piggy-back off of so this chapter is from me.
Phoenixir: Eleganti! Untie me right now
Lady Red scythe: Not until you remember when we met!
Phoenixir: …
Lady Red Scythe: I thought so.
Disclaimer: Phoenixir-sama is in charge of the finances and we are on a very, very, strict budget. There is no way we will own any of the awesome entertainment mediums used or referenced except the plot. And even if we did want to own it owning these mediums would compromise our global plan.
"It doesn't matter who you were or who you've been. What matters is who you are now and who you intend to be. However, sometimes the most prominent parts of life in past lives become an integral part of who you are." -Saotome Kasumi, when talking to her silver millennium daughter's friends about past lives and how they affect who they are now.
~3 very interesting weeks later~
The phone in the Saotome apartment rang. Kasumi picked it up anxiously upon recognizing the number.
"Moshi Moshi."
"《Admiral General, we've found her.》" A crisp and feminine voice said
"WHERE IS SHE?!" Kasumi asked hysterically.
"《Admiral General, I understand how you feel. But, please, calm down. You still have a job to do. You won't be able to do it if you're not calm and stable.》" The voice said calmly.
Kasumi visibly struggled for five minutes to regain her composure. When she did she once again spoke, " Thank you. Now, please, tell me where she is. I've waited long enough."
"《I agree, Admiral General. We've found her this morning at Juuban High. She seems to have holed up in a bathroom》"
"Okay," Kasumi said with tears running down her face ,"Okay. Thank you so much, Endora! I'll see you all promoted for thisqq. If there is anything I can do for you all just let me, know."
"《I'm sure we'll keep it in mind, Admiral General. But for now we were happy to help,》" Endora said.
"I'm sorry to cut this short, Endora, but I can't wait any longer," Kasumi said
"《I understand, Admiral General. 》"
Without further ado Kasumi hung up the phone and phase shifted into the Juuban high faculty room.
She started heading to where she was sure she felt a very important presence, when she was stopped.
"Ah, Kasumi-sensei, just in time for your introduction to the students," the principal said completely unfazed by Kasumi popping up out of thin air."Are you alright," He asked in concern.
"Yes, of course." Kasumi said, " Just give me a moment. And I'll be ready." Kasumi said taking out her compact and looking at her face. She sighed, her appearance was a mess. "I look horrible." She then performed a series of complicated swipes across the mirror's surface and finished with tapping it thrice." The compact let out a brilliant flash. And Kasumi dubbed herself presentable when the light faded. "Okay. Let's do this." Kasumi said, and let the principal guide her to the assembly hall.
The majority of the students have been gathered in to the assembly hall so the new staff members could be met. It was rather late to have hired for most players. Fortunately in Nerima and Juuban they hire year round.
"And so I'd like to welcome Saotome Kasumi to our staff please treat her well," said the principal of Juuban high.
Kasumi came out in a royal blue knee length strapless dress, held up by a spherical broach,and off white 1"high heel closed toe pumps.
She bowed and smiled brightly. "Saotome Kasumi desu. Hajimemasshite. I'll be your new school doctor and as I'll be taking care of your injuries from now on, please take care of me in exchange," she bowed again and turned up the brightness of her smile.
The crowd cheered her on fervently.
Kasumi walked off the stage and let the other five staff members be introduced.
'Now how can I cause a little chaos? I should start small. I know! There are six Saotomes other than Ranma and myself who work or study here. The gender divide is straight down the middle. I can stir up little confusion and see what interesting gossip pops up. I better inform Ranma of this plan...' Kasumi thought as she slipped into the bathroom.
Kasumi suddenly stopped and teared up. She looked at at the third stall from the left.
Kasumi then walked urgently to the stall the noise was coming from and opened it to find….
A little girl that looked about 3 in a very dirty dress that looked like it might have once been blue. She was staring up at Kasumi with tearful violet eyes that peeked out from her dark messy hair. She was cradling her left arm to her chest.
' Sonia!'Kasumi thought and reached her hands out towards the little girl, who scrambled back desperately . "…"
"…"
"Did you sleep here last night?" Kasumi asked. 'Who did this to my adorable baby!' Kasumi thought momentarily enraged, then calming herself upon seeing Sonia trembling
The little girl nodded her head rapidly. 'This person is magic. Don't let them hurt me!' The little girl thought fearfully.
"Do you have anywhere else to go, honey?"Kasumi aske gently, 'WHEN I FIND WHOEVER DID THIS TO HER, I WILL MAKE THEM SUFFER! Calm down, Kasumi. The poor girl is already scared. I need to help her now, I can get vengeance later.
The little girl shook her head rapidly. 'Why, is this person not attacking me," she thought in confusion. 'Maybe, she not attack me. ' the little girl thought hopefully, ' No she must just be mean attacker,' she then deflated.
"How did you get here?" Kasumi asked. 'Sonia, don't be so sad. You're making mommy sad too! Let mommy hug your sadness away!'
The little girl pointed up with her right hand. Kasumi looked up and noticed an open ventilation shaft ten feet up.
"You poor, dear! Did you fall from all the way up there?"
The little girl once again nodded her head. 'Maybe this person not going to attack me!" Sonia thought once again hopeful.
Suddenly a small roar was heard.
The girl blushed, and Kasumi looked at her in amusement in amusement and concern.
"Fufufufu. Would you like some food?"
The girl's eyes brightened. Then she suddenly turned her eyes to her lap worriedly.
Kasumi looked at the girls lap and was slightly surprised when she saw something she didn't notice before. The girl had a silver snake's tail instead of legs sticking out of her dress.
"Ara ara, how cute! Now let's go get you cleaned up and fed," Kasumi said as she offered her hand to the child.
As the child, wide eyed, nervously took her hand the kanji for Reunion appeared in the air (再会) over their hands. Just as quickly as it appeared the kanji faded away.
Kasumi blinked at the Random Kanji then shrugged it off.
"Ah, but first," Kasumi gently took Sonia's broken arm and used magic to heal it.
The little girl was confused. 'Magic not hurt. Huh?!'
"Ah! I can't take it anymore!" Kasumi said and hugged the little girl, " Mommy's so sorry, Sonia. I lost you and couldn't protect you. I finally found you. Mommy's so sorry it took so long!" Kasumi cried.
The little girl was confused but she had to very important things to say.
"Mommy?" She asked.
"Yes, I am your mommy." Kasumi said pulling back to look Sonia in her eyes, "I'm so happy to see you my precious daughter."
"Sonia?" The little girl asked.
"Yes, that's your name. I gave it to you before you were hatched. It means Wisdom. I've finally found you and I promise, I'll never lose you , I've got to call your Daddy." She was interrupted by Sonia's stomach roaring again. "Ah. Hold on a moment." Kasumi pulled out a ridiculously huge Taiyaki out of her stuff space and handed it to Sonia. "This should tide you over, dear."
She, while holding Sonia, stood up and exited the stall.
Sonia contently munched on the giant fish sized treat.
She then looked at a mirror. The air around her took on a slight phosphorescent quality that quickly converged onto the mirror. The mirror then showed an image of girl type Ranma's face. She seemed to be running to get class.
"Yeah, Kasumi? I'm running late can't whatever this is wait till I get there?" Ranma asked.
"Not my fault you wouldn't wake up on time Ran-Ran-koi," she responded teasingly," We stopped early enough yesterday." She smiled sweetly. " Look Ran-Ran-koi! Look at this beautiful little girl!"
Ranma looked at the child who had anko a crummy smeared all over her face. He was instantly smitten, " Sonia..." he said recognizing her immediately. The child looked up while eyeing the teenager, "I'm your daddy, Sonia!
Sonia looked at him for a moment longer, then went back to her taiyaki, putting eating ahead of meeting new people. (A/n: Don't look at me like that. She's a hungry Saotome! You know how they are!)
"Aww, so cute! Anyway, I hope you won't be too worn out to learn something at school."
"...How do you keep wearing me out anyway? Does it have something to do with your other job?" Ranma asked.
"Now, now, Ran-Ran-koi let's keep some mystique in our relationship okay?" Kasumi replied.
"Whatever. So what else did you call me for?"
"That's right! Here's the plan…"
~One very short explanation later~
"And that's the plan."
"That seems rather…small for you Sumi-chan."
"Baby steps Ran-Ran-koi, baby steps," Kasumi said as she took out a thermos from her stuff space, "either find some shadows or put the mirror down for this to work I need you to stay a boy."
"I'll do this in an alley. Throw it to me when I say so."
"Okay."
~Five minutes later~
"The mirror is set down and …holdup."
The mirror now showed the sky.
Sounds of combat could be heard.
The Taiyaki was finished and Kasumi was wiping off Sonia's face as she heard metal bang and glass break.
"Okay toss it to me Sumi-chan." Ranma's voice said.
She threw the thermos at the mirror where it disappeared upon contact. The glow subsided. The mirror showed male type Ranma's face.
"Got it, Sumi-chan," Ranma replied.
"Okay, don't be late Ran-Ran-koi," Kasumi said, "I've got to get our daughter fed and cleaned up."
Kasumi then poked the mirror. Her reflection now showed instead of Ranma's face.
"Let's go, sweetie." She said to Sonia and carried her daughter out of the bathroom.
~5 minutes later in front of Class 2-C~
Ranma had managed to arrive just before his introduction.
"Glad you made it Mr. Saotome. Is there a reason you're late?" A tall man with greasy slicked back hair, a pale angular face, and glasses, somehow pulling off an amber suit, asked.
"Yes."
"Would you like to share with me that reason?"
"I took a shortcut, four punks tried to mug me, I defended myself. 'Course they were no match, for me. It took just enough time to make me late."
The teacher looked at Ranma skeptically.
"Oh, by the way, is this your wallet?" Ranma asked as he pulled out the wallet and showed the teacher his own I.D.
The teacher took his wallet and shut up as he walked into the classroom.
~In the class room~
"Alright class we have a new student. Please come in Saotome-kun."
Ranma walked in he stopped in front of and proceeded to write his name on the chalkboard.
"Boku wa Saotome Ranma, yoroshikun," Ranma said as he flashed his Roguish Manly Smirk™. The RMS made many young ladies swoon. "If I don't say this she won't cook for me for a month, sorry ladies I'm a married man." Ranma said as he flashed his wedding ring.
"EEEEEH?!" was the general outcry.
"B-but you can't get married till you're 18 here!" said expendable female brunette #3
Ranma smirked. "Well I'll let my wife tell you about it."
"Who is she?"
"Himitsu desu."
Cue the Mass Face Fault.
"I'll give you a hint though; she's one of the other Saotomes in this School."
"Is she cute?" expendable brown haired boy # 12 asked.
"Of course not," Ranma replied flippantly.
"Eh?"
"She's the most beautiful woman inside and out that I've ever known," Ranma said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Okay class you can ask Saotome-kun more during break. Saotome-kun sit you can take the seat next to Mizuno Ami." The teacher pointed to that very seat
"Osu, Sakaya-sensei."
Ranma walked to his desk next to the aforementioned girl. His eyes widened briefly as he looked at her aura. He filed what he saw away to tell Kasumi later.
"I can't believe it," he said, "I knew that you went here but it's unbelievable that we'd run into each other on the first day."
"Nice to see you again too, Ranma-nii-chan," Ami said back.
"Yeah, how long has it been Ami-chan?" Ranma said as he handed he a note.
'I know you're the Thermal Senshi please meet me in the Infirmary at lunch. Please Respect the No Violence Rule-Kasumi-sensei😊"
Ami widened her eyes and said, "So how have you been nii-chan? Last I heard you were in a no-win situation. Who'd you pick?"
"Actually all of the candidates were out of the running by the time the third one got there."
"Eh? Then why drag it out so long?" Ami asked.
"Well the chaos made it enjoyable for us."
"Enjoyable how and for who?!" Ami inquired.
Ranma blushed and looked away.
'…what was is it that made that mess so enjoyable? And why is he blushing? Was it oh…oh! It must be about sex? Is it his fetish?' (A/n: Geniuses: we can jump to the wrong conclusions too. But, to be fair, she did get it half right.)
~at lunch~
Ranma had disappeared out the window. And Ami was arriving in the infirmary. She found a silver haired child sleeping in the bed with covers pulled around her and the school doctor watching over her with her back to her. Ranma was sitting on the window sill eating a rather large bento.
"The poor dear is so afraid Ran-Ran-koi. I swear, I'll punish everyone responsible for this! And with her lower body she may not be able to be around people enough to learn social skills. Hunters and Hunter type magic users may come after her, mistaking her for a demon or youma or worse! I'm worried about her Ranma. Were we too late in finding her?" the doctor asked.
"Don't worry Sumi-chan if we can explain it to Ami-chan I'm sure it'll be fine. We found our daughter, she's a Saotome Ranma with your blood running through her," Ranma replied. "We're in Minato, they have places for children like her. Our daughter will be fine. "
"Ami-chan, Ran-Ran-koi?" Kasumi asked genuine curiosity, relief, and amusement in her voice.
"Yeah, she's my cousin," Ranma said.
"This could be fun!" Kasumi said in a mischievous tone that Ami didn't like.
Kasumi then turned around. Ami recognized her immediately.
"T-Terabelle?!" Ami stuttered out in shock.
"Angelia~!" Kasumi cried out in fondness and stepped closer to Ami with her arms spread.
"Terrabelle!" Ami cried out again this time with as much fondness and stepped closer Kasumi and opened up her arms.
"Angelia!" Kasumi stepped closer to Ami.
"Terrabelle," Ami said softly as she stepped into Kasumi's embrace. And flowers appeared around them all of the sudden.
Ranma blinked at the random flowers and shrugged. He then took a picture before they faded as random things were wont to do.
After the two ended their embrace, they got serious.
"So here's the deal. I found my youngest daughter from the Silver Millennium."
"That's great!" Ami said.
"Mmhmm. It is. However…she was reincarnated exactly as she was back then every last physical detail."
Oh? Oh! ...Oh…" Curiosity, realization and grasp of the situation flashed across Ami's face.
"You mean she's…" Ami trailed off
"I'm afraid so…"Kasumi replied
"That's not good. That's not good at all. This could be bad Terrabelle. This could be very very bad."
"I know. That's why I need you to tell your friends about this. Do they know you're a superior officer yet?" Kasumi inquired.
"No. Their memories are still fuzzy. They don't know we don't need to transform or use focii to use magic either… except for Neptune, her Uranus, and your eldest and your big sister." Ami said with a disappointed sigh.
"You know what this means don't you?" Kasumi deadpanned.
"Please don't say it." Ami replied seriously.
"We need to call Mama," Kasumi said it anyway.
"You said it," Ami sighed, "I do agree with you though."
"Not only that, but it's time to start a Balancia with the magic users around here."
"Double Balancia?! Why?!"
"You know why, the need for the fifth meaning of Balancia." Kasumi said opening her bento.
"Fine." Ami said resigned.
"Well, enough of that," Kasumi said so cheerfully she sparkled. " Let's eat before Lunch is over. We can talk about my plan to cause a little bit of confusion and disorder to the school."
'Oh… Oh, I remember now! So chaos is still one of her turn-ons.' Ami kept her thoughts to herself.
~One very short explanation later~
"That seems kind of…unambitious for you…" Ami said.
"I'll work my way up," Kasumi replied with a dainty sniff, "you can't just unleash these things all at once you know. It takes careful planning to bring in the fun kind of chaos. But you already know that."
"I suppose…"
"So let me tell you about this paid job for magic users…"
~3 hours later~
"Sonia-chan," Kasumi said as she shook the child's shoulder gently.
"Mnummble…" Sonia said as she rolled over.
"Wake up, dear…" Kasumi tried again.
"Snorklplx…"was the reply.
Kasumi's voice took on a firm tone "Hestia Angelia Minerva Sara de Gaia, you wake up this instant!"
Sonia suddenly sat up and looked at Kasumi wide eyed. It's amazing what using a full name a child subconsciously recognizes can do isn't it?
"That's better," Kasumi said with a gentle smile as she patted Sonia's head. "Come on sweetie we''re going home," she said as she picked Sonia up and set her down in a wheel chair and covered her tail with a blanket she produced from stuff-space.
They then headed to the apartments she and Ranma were staying at.
There! It took tying Phoenixir-sama up. And reserving their previous versions of this chapter for flashbacks but it is done! I bet you thought this Story was dead or abandoned. Thankfully that is not the case. Thankfully Phoenixir-sama's Spark has returned. So either Phoenixir-sama or I will be updating this more frequently. I'll let DNS be all Phoenixir-sama's as long as they updates it sooner than we updated this.
*Omake *
Ranma and Kasumi were getting their freak on and they weren't being quiet about it.
The land lady was out sweeping the side walk when she heard.
Ranma and Kasumi: Oh yeah!
The Land lady turns to the audience and starts singing.
Land lady: You can be loud as the hell you want when you're making love.
A man and woman with nothing better to do join in
Random Man and woman: When you're making love.
Land lady: You can be loud as the hell you want when you're making love.

Ranma and Kasumi: Aaaah…
The phone rings and the Land lady answers it.
Land lady: Nandeska? Too loud ,you say? I'll tell them to be quiet when they're finished.
She then hung up the phone.
Ranma pokes his head out the window
Ranma: Are we being too loud?
Kasumi: Get back in here! I'm not done with you yet!
Kasumi pulls Ranma back in.
The Land lady chuckles and shouts: You keep doing what you're doing!
Random man & woman: Yeah louder!
Land lady: You're not allowed to be loud at the library, at the art museum or a play. But when you and your partner are doing the nasty don't behave like you're at the ballet. Cause you can be as loud as the hell you want when you're making love.
Random man & woman: Making sweet, sweet love.

Random man & woman: Loud as the hell! Loud as the hell you want!
Land lady: Don't let the neighbors stop you from having fun, they'll have peace and quiet when you're good and done.
