O Sister, Where Art Thou? Alternate Story Concept

It had began as any other day did for Soun Tendo as crazy as it always was since his old training partner had turned up with his only son. Today he started with his usual routine of being rudely wakened up by Gemna and Ranma morning spar. After the spar he would head down stairs while brushing his teeth and then be shocked by his daughter fiancée lack of female modestly.

It was looking like it was going to be a good Sunday he thought, because it was about midday and surprising none of the wall had been knocked down. Or there had been challengers to the Dojo, which could resulted in the lost of the Dojo sign. He and Gemna were still enjoying their game of Dungeons and Dragons.

"Let's see Gemna, I've rolled a 20" he mumbled as he checked the instruction book again "Arr I've destroyed your Dwarf army" Soun gloated to his old friend, looking up he didn't find Gemna his usual trade mark growl, he was usual in when he was losing a game.

"Soun old buddy we got a guest" he said while pointing behind his friend towards the entrance to the hallway from the tearoom. Soun didn't even bother turning his head as he looked at Gemna with a very questioning look.

"Gemna I am not falling for that old trick, soon as I turn my back on you, your move the game pieces around the board"

"But my old friend I am telling you the truth" he said as he continued to point towards the doorway. Taking a chance to glance at the door, Soun looked over his shoulder to actually find some one there. Gemna meanwhile took the chance to move his pieces.

Soun continued to stare at the woman standing there next to Kasumi, he couldn't believe my eyes for what he was seeing. The woman who stood there had an uncanny resemblance to his departed wife. The woman moved one step forward before she politely bowed.

"Please excuse my interruption Mr. Tendo" the woman spoke out with a quiet voice, showing signs of tension but also concern. "My name is Doctor Atsuko Mizuno" the woman went silent for a few seconds as she tired to think of the words she want to say. "It is hard for me to express what I must say, but I believe it will be best if I can be as honest as I can"

"Certainly Doctor Mizuno, so what seems to be the problem?" Soun asked as he indicated for the good doctor to take a seat "Kasumi dear, would you be a dear and pour some tea for out guest"

"Certainly father" Kasumi replied as she retired to the kitchen to prepare the drink for the guest. The guest looked down as her clenched fists she had placed them onto the table

"Mr Tendo, May I ask you was your youngest daughter born on 3rd August 1989?" Soun looked at the doctor as she asked the question. He nodded as he answered her question.

"Yes my youngest Akane was born on that date, but may I ask why you are so interested in my daughter birthday?" the head of the Tendo clan asked, the doctor bit her lip.

"It's best if I explain this from the beginning, you see due to my ex-husband I had to perform a D.N.A. test on my own daughter to prove that he was her father" there was silent before she continued "the test result that came back weren't what I was expecting. You see Mister Tendo, that the results that came back proved that he wasn't the father" a tear started to form in her eye "and neither the girl I raised for 16 years is my daughter" Both Soun Tendo and Gemna Saotome remained quite as Doctor Mizuno continued to explain "You see, the reason I am here Mr Tendo is that both my Daughter and your where born on the same day, in the same hospital. I have checked with the hospital records and I can confirm that your daughter was the only other girl born that day" she stopped for a second "The reason I am here mister Tendo, is too ask you for a D.N.A. Test to prove that Ami Mizuno is your daughter and Akane Tendo is my Daughter"
