Sister 29

Kasumi

05/12/1992 , Tuesday

She caught 'sent' of her prey. Tonight she would have her Vengeance. She traced it back to the beast's den. Blending into the shadows, she knelt on the roof. No sign of her prey here yet, but she could wait.

Down ,below the Ruckus was not as wild as we know it, but there was some uneasy tension. A young male was knelling, muttering. He was skilled in the healing arts by his dress and manner. Nearby were two Females, one just younger then the huntress. Both were toying with a small pig.

There were two older males frozen stiff in the corner. Slowly one of the Males started moving off...

Then the Other fell over.

The Huntress could not hear what was said...

The Younger female set down the piggy, and went inside...only to return with a wooden club...

Trading the club for the leash of the pig. The Young girl, knelt in the corner, scratching the pig behind the ears...

The Older Female gripping the Club like a katana, ...began to beat the living shit out of the fat older male. Seeing the Skill of the Redhead, and judging that She was a master of the Katana, The Huntress decided to just wait until she caught sight of her prey...

From deep with in the House, That Bitch walked calmly into the room and started to set out dishes for an evening meal. While the Huntress had made no movement, the Red-head turned to look at the spot where she was hiding, and frown. Just when The huntress was about to attack, the Redhead turned and returned to the depths of her haven.

Shortly another Female stepped out, this time coming to the edge of the porch. Lifting her eyes to the Huntress's hiding spot, and in flawless, tribe dialectic of Mandarin; "Greetings Xain-pu. Welcome Warrior. Let our Home offer you Haven, our Hearth its Harvest, and our Shelter its Security"

Cursing under her breath, Xain-pu dropped from her hiding place and stepped forward. "Greeting Hostess. Thank you for your offer. I am afraid that I must decline your offer, as I am sworn to kill the one known as Satome Ranma, the Redheaded Bitch. "

"I am sorry you wish to kill your Husband. The One you refer to as Ranma was born Male, and just before defeating you in combat most unfair, was dipped in the Cursed spring of Drowned Girl. Had the Fat man you see getting beat over there, been able to read chinese, or even think with something other then his stomach, you would not have faced Ranma on that log."

"Husband? I will need to see your Proof."

I will Offer you the Proof, tonight. But in the mean time, will you join us for dinner? Tonight, Ranma must prove 'her' status as a male in 'her' Mother's Eyes. "

"Shampoo honored witness Trial of Ranma." The Purple haired Battle Goddess spoke in her broken Japanese.

--

The Kiss was one of Power. She aloud her body to go limp, while molding itself to her paramour. Her perky breasts pushing themselves into the soft flesh of her partners smaller, but just as tempting and demanding fleshy...

Ranma noticed something was wrong with Nabiki, when the taller girl started to slide to the floor. Guiding her down Ranma noticed a small dribble of blood gathering at the nostril of Nabiki's nose.

Nabiki's brain was overstimulated and had reset...

Ranma looked at Kasumi, just as both of them broke into a fit of giggles. Ranma finished up with what was needed so dinner could just simmer, and gathered the dishes to set the table.

As 'She' Entered the Dinning area, She noticed that Akane was petting the little pig that attacked him earlier. Doctor was kneeling near by muttering to himself. Soun was now huddled next to the good Doctor, as Genma was huddled in a ball and an enraged redheaded woman was swinging a softball bat like it was a katana, with the intent of beating the living shit out of the old man.

Ranma grinned to her self as she finished setting the table. Out of reflex she tapped the Houses Balance. There was a Shadow...

...outside...

...On the Dojo roof...

...right about...THERE!

Ranma could feel the hate, the anger, being emitted from the shadow. But this not in his training. Because he could sense that the Shadow would wait...

Ranma returned to the Kitchen.

"Kasumi, There is Someone on the Roof of the Dojo. There is an unbalance in the Houses..."

"...Chi field. Yes I know. Was wondering when 'She' would show up. Looks like Genma will not be eating with us tonight. I will take care of this Visitor, you finish up with dinner, and bring Nabiki out to the table. Then return here until I call for you." Kasumi looked down at the redhead, "Do not leave the Kitchen otherwise unless chased."

As Nabiki sat up, a bit groggy, and looked around. Spotting Ranma, remembering what had happened, she goofy grinned.

Ranma set the soup off the stove, picked up Nabiki, and carried her to the table, only , to Nabiki's disappointment, to return to the Kitchen.

--

Nodoka last swing knocked the Fat bastard that is her husband into the koi pond. As the Panda floated to the surface, She reset her hair in her bun and reentered the house.

Seeing that Dinner was about to be served, she moved to the place of a guest. Seeing that she was kneeling across from a goofy grinning, drooling, Nabiki and beside a Purple haired girl, She shrugged, It would seem that her son was very manly indeed...

Kasumi knelt beside the Doctor, and took his Hand. The Doctor's only sign that he knew she was near him, was that his muttering had increased in tempo. Kasumi Cleared her throat. "Father, I have some good news. I will need you to call for a priest by the end of next week."

--

Soun Perked up. A priest could only mean wedding...

"So Ranma has chosen? Oh happy Day!!"

"No Father. The Wedding is not for Ranma."

Shock

Recollection of facts;

1 No Ranma in room

2 Goof grinning Nabiki

3 Tofu present

final conclusion; tofu was marring Nabiki!!

"Doctor, I am so happy you want to marry Nabiki, you have my blessings!"

The Doctor froze. Something was not right...

Nabiki's grin slid from her face, and her eyes lost their glaze...

"Father no BAKA!" The frown on Kasumi's was as wrong as the Master swearing off woman’s underwear...

Shock...

Recollection of facts;

1 Kasumi holding Tofu’s hand...

2 Tofu was muttering about her saying yes...

3 Kasumi was unfocused the last couple of days...

answer;

Kasumi wanted to marry Tofu...

Pro; his Daughter would be happy...

Con; Akane would cook!!

Before Soun could protest, "And No, Akane will not cooking. Odds are that Tofu will be moving in here. If I am not able to preform my duties, My student will. "

Akane pouted,

"Besides Akane will be training with Buta-Suma. “

Akane perked up some.

"The Young woman beside Auntie Satome is Shampoo. She is a young warrior from a Chinese Amazon Tribe that Ranma and Genma 'tripped' over on their way home. Upon entering the Village, Genma, seeing a table of food, helped himself. When Challenged, as the food was first prize for the Yearly Fighters Contest, Ranma offered to fight the Champion for the food eaten by 'her panda'. "

Nodoka and Shampoo perked at the phrasing of 'her panda'.

"Ranma of course won. Considering that Shampoo had just finished her last challenger, and Ranma was 'fresh', I have no Idea if the Challenge was fair. After being defeated, Shampoo kissed Ranma. She believes it was the Kiss of Death."

Nodoka frowned the retelling of Ranma's meeting the Girl at her side.

Shampoo waited quietly.

"Ranma, Please Serve Dinner!"

The Red head brought out the food, Placing the it in the center of the table. When she brought the tea kettle out and poured tea for all at the table, Nodoka watched her style and form. While it was untrained, she saw the possablities of a master tea server.

The young red-head declared "Dinner is served."

The Fat panda snapped up from the koi pond. A sign appeared in its paw; FOOD?

"Shampoo is here to kill Ranma, but for a village that time has forgotten, the Amazons are quit civilized. For the night Ranma is safe." Kasumi took up the Tale as they ate. "When they got here, The 'Son' that Father was expecting turned into a 'Daughter'. When We learned the truth, I challenged Ranma to learn the Art of Keeping House. While I am going faster then Mother did with me, It is because Ranma has already mastered the Basics of the Art. That and Ranma learns best if you make it impossible to achieve the end results."

Ranma Snorted, and Kasumi grinned. Then with a flick of her hand, she splashed the little redhead with her tea. Ranma shook his head to get rid of the excess liquid.

"As you can see, he is both Male and Female. Also you can see that he is more than a little unschooled in the social graces. He has been challenged to learn the Art of House Keeping, and as we can taste, his cooking is unrefined, but shows promise." Kasumi grinned "I have also just Challenged him to learn your Art, Auntie. He has mastered most of the Flesh as a Weapon Arts, Now it is time for him to learn the Arts of Blade, Bow, Staff, and Chain. I have already explained to you ,Auntie, what I am hoping to happen between you and Ranma."

Turning to look at the purple-haired girl, "Shampoo, You have the Option of asking that you be considered one of Ranma's future wives, that Ranma owes you a Child of a simple union, or to be a Mistress of his. I would also ask that before you decide, that you return home, to ask your Great, Great Grandmother to come judge Ranma as a proper mate, or if you must try to kill her. I will write a letter for you to take with you."

Before the only girl who could challenge Ranma to a wet tee-shirt contest and win could answer, Akane dropped her tea on to the pig sitting on her lap...
