There's no place like home
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
There was total silence around the yard of the Hino's shrine.
Everyone stared at the strangers who just pass out in their yard and
interrupted their little family outing. Kage Houshin, Recca biological mother
just looked pensive.
"Um..." said Recca "Who the hell is that?"
"Could he be one of Kurei men's?" asked Mikagami "If he is, he must be the
clumsiest assassin or kidnapper I have ever seen."
"Well in any case we should be ready," said Fuko as she wore on her Fujin
"He could just be pretending to be unconscious."
"Yosh!" as Domon got he elemental weapons ready and the other members of
team Hokage got ready too.
The Scouts was about to transform, until Usagi stop them.
" Wait a minute, we can't be sure he evil" said Usagi "If he was he would
have been attacking us by now and not only that, the bad guys would never use
such a useless attack on us" said Usagi.
"I agreed with Usagi-san" said Yanagi "He doesn't feel evil too me, weird?
Yes. But not evil." With that she went to the stranger side to and was about
to start to heal him when Recca stop her.
"Hime, wait. If you don't think that he evil then I believe you" said Recca
" but you shouldn't waste your healing powers like, you know it takes a lot
out of you to use it." Said Recca in a concern voice.
"Thank you, Reeca-kun" said Yanagi gratefully.
"Alright then, let get him into the house and see what we can do for him"
said Recca
So with Domon help, they easily moved the stranger into the shrine. The
party, as far as anyone was concern, was over due to this stranger
appearance. The Tendo's and the Kounji's left after a short while, stating
they would be of no use here. The Saotome's stayed because Nodoka refuses to
leave. She was very adamant about it.
" I don't know why, but in my heart, I feel as if I know him" was all she
stated before she maintain a watchful gazed over the stranger. Fuko and
Domon went ouside to see if there any of the Urhura Ma around, just in case
if it is Kurei doing. While the Scouts secures the temple grounds, just in
case any youma lurking around.
"Recca-niicahn" said Ranko in a quiet voice, it has been over 4 hours and
the strangers still haven't woken up yet "what do you think of the
stranger?"
"I don't know Ranko-chan, I don't know where he came from, but I don't feel
that he a threat and neither does my Dragon's." said Recca "what do you think
of him sis?"
"I know this may sound strange niichan, but I feel as if I know him in some
way" said Ranko, as she gaze softly at the stranger " weird isn't it." What
she didn't tell him is that the stranger feels like a family member, like a
brother.
Seeing his sister in one of her depressed mood he decide to cheer her
up."Strangely enough if I squinted real hard, he could have pass for you as a
guy" said Recca with humor in his eyes.
" RECCA NO BAKA!" Screamed at him and then mallet him on the head. At that
same time the stranger sat up in his bed and said "Kawaiinekune" and then
lay back down on his bed. There was a collective blink as everybody wonders
why he did that. It was Amy that came up with an answer.
"I think it a condition reflex," said Amy in a tone only used by college
professor "When someone is expose to a condition stimulus they react in a
manner they can deal with. My guess is it was Ranko screaming that made him
react like that. Understand?" Amy asked only to see her friends with glazes
look in their eyes. Amy just signed.
"Ranko I want you to try something for me," said Amy " Try screaming "Recca
no baka" again." Ranko was reluctant, but nobody was able to refuse Amy
anything.
"Ok here goes, RECCA NO BAKA!" With that the stranger sat back up and
muttered something about Tomboys and un-cute girls and then lay back down
tossing and turning saying to give him five more minutse of sleep. Everybody
just blink his or her eyes in amazement. Then with a groan he opens his eyes.
Nodoka seeing him getting up hover over him like a bird trying to see if he
alright, then to her amazement he look up at her with a familiar pair of eyes
and said "Mother?"
Meanwhile Recca has gone off to see his mother, his biological mother, Kage
Houshin; he had been worry about her because she has been silent throughout
the whole ordeal. He found here by the shrine trees, gazing up at the clear
blue sky. He try calling her a few times but she wouldn't respond, so he went
to her and and tap her shoulder.
She spun around intending to attack an opponent but saw her son. "Recca-chan"
she said " never sneak up on your mother."
"Kasan, what wrong?" asked Recca with concern in his voice.
"Maybe nothing maybe everything" his mother replied.
"Mom what do you mean?" he asked, then realize something "does it has to do
with the stranger?" Silence was his only replied.
"Mom please tell me" he pleaded.
There was silence in the yard for a good while, then Kage Houshin took a
deep breath and turn to Recca. "All right Recca chan , I guess you have the
right to know ."
"Recca-chan, this might only be a guess, but I think he might be a Hokage
ninja from 400 years back" that information shocked Recca.
"What do you mean Kasan?"
"Recca, Do you remember that light that appeared before he fell out?" He
nodded "Well it looked just like the one I send you through 400 years ago."
"Could it be kasan? Could someone from the Hokage have survive?" He asked.
His mother shook her head " but I don't see how, you see Recca only one
person out of every generation know the spell and even then only our clan
know the spell" she said "the boy in there was wearing Chinese clothing
Recca but he look like a Japanese."
"So what this have anything to with the stranger?" asked Recca.
"That mean Recca, that there could be another immortal running around like
me." She said " And as a member of Hokage, there is a law that said that I am
honor bound to kill anybody outside our clan that have learn our scared arts."
That when they hear a loud shout from inside. "HE AWAKE!" Ranko yelled form
the doorstep. Recca look at his mother grim-like expression and know that if
the stranger is who she think he is then there would be no saving him.
Back inside...
Ranma was feeling very disoriented, he couldn't figure why his own mother
would stare at him like she doesn't know him. Then everything came rushing
back too him. Then he remembers about the deal and the price he paid. To
confirm this he took a look around his room and saw his female version
standing there.
"Um, hello?" he said, "My name is Ranma sorry about this."
"Ranma? Ranma who?" asked Usagi
"Just Ranma, I am sorry but I can't give you my last name" he said
apologetically.
"Who the hell are you and why did you call my mom "mother"? Huh?" said Ranko
while giving him the death glare.
" Heh, heh , my mistake I thought she was my mother? But now I can see that I
am mistaken" he said. Then he saw someone else entered the room, it was a boy
around his height with a Band-Aid on his cheek, and a woman next to him that
kind of resembles the boy. The boy's mother, Ranma guessed, although he can't
figure out why she also giving him a Death-glare also. Then he saw the other
girls around the room, cute girls he also noted, but the blond with the
meatball like hairstyle stood out in his mind more. He then decides that the
hostility level was too high so he thought it was best if he left. After all
Urd said that he'll have to started over, just his luck he was sent to a
reality where there are so many familiar people .He got up from the bed and
noted that everyone visibly tense.
"Thank you for taking care of me" he said with a bow of his head " Good bye"
and with that he walked out of the door, only to be blocked by Mikagami and
Recca.
Ranma looked up at them evenly, he figure he could take them both, HAD he
been at 100 percent, too bad he was still weak from the fight with Saffron.
" Yes may I help you?" he said politely.
Recca spoke up first " Well it not that we mind you leaving but can you
explain how you came to fall out of the sky?"
"You'll never believe me if I tell you" Ranma said as he sidestepped Recca
only to be block by Mikagami.
"Tell us now." Mikagami said in a stern voice " or your not leaving."
" Oh, is that a challenge?" Ranma finally remember why this guy was so
familiar, he was the first thing Ranma saw attacking him or almost anyway.
" No, it's a warning" said Mikagami challenging tone of voice. After all
without an Elemental weapon, ordinary people have no chance of beating
someone who do have one. They already search him for weapons or identity of
any kind and couldn't find any, and the boy didn't seem like he a Ninja or
fighter of any kind. His posture is too loose to be a martial artist of any
kind.
"So does that mean you want a fight?" asked Ranma, he could tell that the guy
is halfway decent. He didn't want to fight now but if he can avoid a lengthy
explanation, he'll do it. And beside what if they think he is crazy, he'll be
sent to the funny farm before he can count to 10.
" If you think you can win, " said Mikagami. " You must at least have some
kind of martial arts train right?"
Ranma appeared to think about it for a second and nod his head and said
"Well, I got a black belt in karate. That is pretty good right?"
Ranko and the other Scouts felt sorry for this guy. Mikagami is going to kick
his ass and then some, Amy was 10 times better then a black belt and Mikagami
can still handle her easily. Recca and Domon started to dig Ranma his own
grave near the temple. Nodoka just prayed to the gods to have mercy on the
boy.
Mikagami just laugh, he subsided after much glaring from Ranma. He told Ranma
if he can win, no explanation asked, but if Mikagami wins he will get the
whole truth from Ranma and that this they must swear upon their honor as men.
"Deal" said Ranma. "We're fighting outside."
"Wherever" Replied Mikagami.
Outside of the temple·
The other had been call back and now the Scouts and the Hokage gang were all
there, along with the Saotome's. They all have gather on one side to cheer
Mikagami on. Ranma took a good look around and notice that the Tendo's and
the Kounji's he saw earlier had left.
" GO MIKAGAMI-KUN KICK HIS ASS!" yelled Ranko.
" Make him beg for mercy!" yelled Recca.
"Show him who da man!" yelled Domon.
And other people were cheering as well, all except for Nodoka. She can't help
but feel worry for Ranma.
" What's wrong No-chan?" ask Kage Houshin.
"No-nothing" she stammered out " I am fine"
" Nodoka I have known you for these past couple of months and I know when you
are holding something back"
" I am sorry, but you wouldn't understand or might think I am crazy" said
Nodoka.
Kage gave Nodoka a reassuring smile, " Please tell me, I promise you I will
listen."
Nodoka took a deep breath and turn to face Kage.
" Ok, it just that... Ranma remind me so much of Genma, my late husband,"
said Nodoka in a sad voice "you probably think that's weird huh?"
" He died when Ranko was two months old right?" Nodoka nodded. "And three
years later you married Recca's father right?" Once again Nodoka nodded. "
But you said that he was with you everyday except for work, I don't think
he's Genma bastard son."
" No it not that" said Nodoka " I know that Genma would never cheat on me, he
have a lot of honor."
" Then what are you concern about?" asked Kage
"It his eyes, although he bear a huge resemblance to Genma, it his eyes that
disturb me." said Nodoka.
"What about it?" ask a confuse Kage.
" His eyes are the same as Ranko" she said.
Kage frown and check, sure enough it the same color as Ranko a blue-green
color. "That not so strange Nodoka, people have the same eyes color all the
time."
"Not in my family Kage, the blue-green eyes run in my family only," said
Nodoka "Kage how many Japanese citizens have you seen with blue-green eyes?"
This disturbed Kage greatly, for she has never seen any other family,
Japanese that is, that had blue-green eyes beside Nodoka and Ranko.
Back to the battlefield or the yard...
"Ready Ranma?" ask Mikagami
"Anytime man." Said Ranma
"Alright, the rules are wins by knock out are submission only, other then
that, anything goes." Said Ganko. "BEGIN!"
With that Mikagami took out his Esui.
"What are you gonna do throw it at me?" scoffed Ranma, he never really
respected any weapon user besides a hand full of people that he knew. All
of a sudden, before he knew it Mikagami got close to him and slash his at
his chest with that little white stick. Ranma fell something familiar and
disturbing took about the weapon. It felt like water. So he took a couple of
quick steps backward to avoid it.
"What the hell that suppose to do huh?" said Ranma, only to see Mikagami
points at his chest. Ranma look down to she a slash across his shirt. He look
up at Mikagami to see, where there had once been a white stick only, now has
a WATER? Blade on it Ranma eyes grew large for a second. He didn't EXPECT
this.
"wh-what the hell?"
