School had been cancelled as a construction crew had finally got to the school and were starting to repair the damaged walls, surprised that one kid could do so much damage but the surprise dissipated when they remembered they were in Nerima.
Kasumi, Nabiki and Akane were in Nabiki's room, Nabiki sat on a chair facing her bed where Kasumi and Akane sat. "Why are we here Nabiki I was about to start training?" Akane in her usual angry tone.
"Look I know I'm not the only who thought of this…we all know what Genma did to Ranma and if he did that to his own son what makes you think he won't do it to us?" Nabiki asked.
"Like he could" Akane declared.
"Akane non of us have seen him fight and he's been training in China and he's the one who trained Ranma, I'm not sure you can win with just brute force Akane, we both saw what Ranma did yesterday and Kuno is still in hospital from that hit he took" Nabiki responded, Akane fell quiet, she hadn't heard Kuno was in hospital, not that she was complaining.
"Well what about Ranma, you saw what he was like yesterday, Genma was terrified maybe he can keep him in check" Kasumi proposed.
"Yeah right, it's because of us and that stupid agreement he's stuck here he has to marry one of us so why would he help us?" Nabiki asked.
"Well he hates Genma right, maybe we could form a truce or something" Kasumi responded.
"I guess we could ask him but what do we do if he says no? I'm not sure if getting any dirt on him will matter, we already know what he did to his own son and he's been getting away with it for years and if he knows we're a threat he may sell us or arrange something sooner" Nabiki responded.
"Great so we can't confront him without making it worse" Akane whined.
"I don't know, but I know we're safe until Ranma chooses his fiancé Genma is traditional, old fashioned in some ways as is daddy and they both say the wife should be pure, so for now we're safe" Nabiki responded.
"So our best bet is to get Ranma's help or try and fight him and hope he isn't as good as we think" Kasumi summarised.
"Correct…just business as usual until we have a better plan" Nabiki sighed, Akane then left the room to go train and Kasumi went to get started on dinner. Nabiki then left the room and went to see if Ranma was in the guest room and found no one, Nabiki then noticed the bags in the room 'Maybe this is my chance to find out Ranma has been hiding from us…what he lost' Nabiki thought before digging through one of the bags and pulling out a journal and headed back to her room and began reading.
Two Hours Later…
Nabiki's hands clenched into fists on the journal, it had turned out it wasn't Ranma's but Genma's and so far she had read the first couple years of Ranma's training and she now hated Genma more than ever, that hate only increased when she read about Ranma's mother and thought that was what Ranma had been keeping secret.
Nabiki then left her room and went in search of Ranma, only to find him in the dojo practising a few of his moves and she was surprised by his speed ad power which only made her worry about Genma more, Ranma glanced at Nabiki.
"What do you want?" Ranma asked in her usual neutral tone.
"I know what you've not been telling us Ranma" Nabiki stated, Ranma froze and looked towards her.
"Oh and what didn't I tell you?" Ranma asked, thinking, hoping Nabiki might be bluffing.
"The seppuku pledge Genma promised your mother, that if he didn't raise you to become a man among men then you and your father would be forced to commit seppuku in order to keep your honour intact and because of your curse you can never see her again without dying…you know we lost our mother too, to disease though" Nabiki stated, a red aura engulfed Ranma.
"Thank you Nabiki, that wasn't what I kept secret, but you did just give me a way to die honourably" Ranma stated "Now if you'll excuse me I've got some business with an obese panda" Ranma said, Nabiki just stared as he left the dojo.
"He didn't know" Nabiki stated slowly.
Ranma then approached Genma who was playing shogi, the bald man noticed his 'son' approaching him with a small red aura.
"Is there a problem boy?" Genma asked.
"Seppuku pledge" Ranma stated before striking Genma in the gut and sending him flying into the opposing wall, leaving a Genma shaped dent in it. Genma dropped to the ground and got back to his feet and glared at Ranma but began to sweat as Ranma's aura began to grow.
"What's wrong Ranma?" Genma asked.
"Seppuku pledge, you surrendered my life so you could mould me into a sexist thieving womanizing pervert like you" Ranma roared.
"Listen Ranma I only made that promise to make you the best martial artist the world has ever known, a mothers love would make you weak it was the only way to make her let me take you" Genma replied.
"Oh so you did it to make me stronger then what was all that stuff about selling me for food, selling me for sex and arranging for me to rape, was that to make me stronger too?" Ranma yelled as his aura flared up even more and Genma finally saw he couldn't talk his way out of this one and so took on a fighting stance.
Genma then launched at Ranma and began thrusting out his fists and launched several kicks which Ranma blocked with ease, the others just stared in amazement at the two martial artist's speed, Ranma's aura continued to grow and the heat intensified and began to burn Genma's hands with each strike, Ranma then used a roundhouse kick and struck Genma in the gut knocking him back into the house and through several walls and out into the back garden, Ranma ten glanced at Nabiki, both making eye contact, her battle aura then diminished "Nabiki could you track my mother down, rumour has it your good when it comes to digging up dirt on people?" Ranma asked.
"Err…sure…but could you do some things for me first?" Nabiki asked.
"Sure, depending on what they are" Ranma replied.
