Chapter 2
Introductions
"ORO?!" Kenshin exclaimed, as he started to sway back and forth.
"Himura- san are you ok?" asked a concerned Misao.
"Kenshin, snap out of it." Sano said as he shook Kenshin back and
forth.
"SANO-SAN stop that, you�re making him feel worse." Misao said.
Sano stopped only to see Kenshin's eyeballs rolling back and forth in his
eye sockets.
"Kenshin-san?" Ranma asked concerned, 'Maybe this guy is a loon,'
Ranma thought as he saw Kenshin was still out of it.
"Kenshin-san can you tell me where my father is?" Ranma asked him
again; hopefully he could get the information from this guy and be off on
his way to meet his dad. He was very anxious to meet his father whom his
mother had described as honorable and noble.
"F-f-f father, hahahahaha a father," Kenshin said to no one in particular,
sounding just a tad hysterical. Everyone around him just sweat dropped.
"Yo, Kenshin, you�re freaking me out," Sano said, as he started to step
back from the laughing samurai.
"KENSHIN! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Misao said, as she started to slap him
silly.
"Orrroo!" Kenshin said, finally snapping out of the little seperate world
he was in. He then looked to Ranma and just had to confirm something, "Your
mother is named Nodoka is she not?" Kenshin asked, holding his breath while
waiting for Ranma reply.
"Yes my mother is Nodoka, Mishima Nodoka was her original name."
Ranma replied.
Kenshin, who was holding his breath all this time, finally let it go
and smiled a huge smile in fatherly pride. "A Son!" he thought to himself in
wonder. " You would be sixteen now, would you not?" asked Kenshin, counting
the years since he had last seen Nodoka.
"Yes, Kenshin-san," Ranma replied, wondering how the guy could have
guessed his age. People always said he looked older then his age;
considering the things he went through he wouldn�t be at all surprised.
But how did this guy know it was the question.
Kenshin just smile again. "I think from now on you don�t need to call
me Kenshin-san anymore," He said happily. He still couldn�t get over the
fact that he had a son. He looked over his son and felt a renewed surge of
pride, he could tell right off that his son was a fighter. Kenshin looked
over his son again and couldn't help but burst with pride. One day he had
no heir the next he had a son. He never knew fatherhood could feel so great.
"Then what should I address you as?" Ranma asked, a bit confused.
"Otousan," Kenshin replied simply. He failed to notice his friends dropping
to the ground twitching.
"W-what, you can�t be my father, my father name was Shinta," Ranma said
incredulously, thinking that perhaps the man before him did have a few
screws loose.
"My name is also Shinta, son. It was changed by my master," He said to
Ranma. "If you don�t believe me I can prove it. I met your mother and her
clan somewhere in the outskirts of Tokyo. She stumble upon me when I was
training and then asked me to teach her a bit of my style, I refused and
then she hit me over my head with her katana," He knew that Nodoka would
have given Ranma something to confirm him by.
"F-f-father?" Ranma asked in shock and awe. "Is it really you?"
Kenshin just smiled, "Why didn�t Nodoka ever tell me she was with
child?" He asked Ranma, but before Ranma could answer Misao and Sano
recovered.
"Kenshin, since when the fuck did you have a son!" Sano asked. It
wasn�t really a question.
"Yeah, what he said," Misao said, reenforcing Sano's question. 'If this
guy really is Kenshin's son then poor Kaoru-san will be so heart broken,'
Misao thought.
"Heh heh. Calm down you two, look he called me by my birth name," He
said as if that explained everything.
"What?! That's it?! He just called you by my birth name? Just that simple
thing and you already accepted him as your son," Misao asked with a shocked
look on her face.
"Yeah what weasel girl here said." Sano agreed.
"HEY! Who're you calling weasel, chicken boy!" Misao shouted angrily,
having taken deadly offense to Sano's remark.
"Calling you, weasel," Sano shot back, having taken offense to Misao's
name-calling.
Then two totally forgot about Kenshin and his son as they started to
verbally fight each other.
Beads of sweat appeared on the back of Kenshin and Ranma's heads.
"Are they always like that?" Ranma asked his father.
"Un," Kenshin confirmed.
"But I want to know, you accepted me pretty easily when I just said
your name. I mean can�t anybody do that?" Ranma asked. He was
curious to know as to why his father accepted him so quickly.
"Let me ask you something first son, how come you accepted me so
quickly?" he asked Ranma.
"Well it because mom described you in exact details. I knew it was you
at first but when you said that your name was Kenshin, I started to have
doubts. Now however, you confirmed it yourself," He told his father.
"Now back to my question, what so special about your real name?"
"It is not my real name but my birth name, I am both Shinta and
Kenshin," He told his son. "Shinta was the name I used before my
master renamed me Kenshin. He told me that Shinta was too sweet a
name for a warrior," He said and smiled at the fond memory.
"So you�re a martial artist?" Ranma asked.
"No, I am a Ruroni, I wander from place to place helping people whenever
I can," He told his son. "Being a martial artist means a being proficient in
hand to hand combat. I am not very good when it comes to hand to hand," He
told his son.
"So are you any good with your katana then?" he asked. Curious to know
how strong his father was.
"I don�t have a katana, son. I use a Sakabatou," Kenshin told him. "I quit
using the katana a long time ago," He told his son with a bit of sadness in
his voice.
"A Sakabatou?" Ranma asked. "How can you hurt anyone with that?"
he asked his father.
Kenshin gave a secretive smile. "Oh. I am pretty sure I can hold my
own in most fights. I don�t fight to kill at all so a sakabatou is perfect
for me."
"I see..." Ranma said. He was feeling better that his father wasn�t a
killer, "Umm dad. Your friends are still at it," Ranma observed as he watch
Misao and Sano went from verbal to physical.
"They�ll run out of steam, they always do." Kenshin said, all the while
smiling at his friends antics.
"Otousan?" Ranma started to his father.
"Yes?"
"What if some one else came here claiming to be your son, and he knows
your name. Your birth name that is," Ranma asked seeing what his father
would do.
"I wouldn�t believe them. Well, I might but that is highly unlikely,"
Kenshin told his son, "Nobody alive knows my name except for two very
special person. One being your mother and the second being my master.
Although my master is cocky and likes a good practical joke, he would never
do that to me," He reassured Ranma.
"How can you be so sure that no one knows your birth name?" Ranma
asked his father.
"Trust me on this son. When I say nobody. I mean nobody," He told his
son again.
"Uh uh! Make it two more people now," Misao said to Kenshin.
"Oro." Kenshin said in surprise. " When did you two stop fighting?"
"Even though I was fighting weasel girl here, I still listen to your
conversation," Sano said in explanation.
"Yeah. So was I," Said Misao. "But Himura-san, even though I am happy
for you that you have a son, what about Kaoru-san?" She asked Kenshin
seriously.
Kenshin heart ached as he thought about Kaoru, he loved her but now he
would have to marry Ranma mother so her honor wouldn�t be stained.
"Honor dictates that I must marry Ranma's mother or else the honor of her
house will be stained," He told them. His friends drooped their heads sadly.
Honor was highly valued by them too.
"I will go to Kaoru-dono and tell her everything," Kenshin told them.
"Wait otousan, mom told me you were gonna try this," Ranma interrupted.
" That's why she told me to tell you that you are not honor bound to marry
her," He told his father.
"Nani?" Kenshin asked confuse, "How can I not? Your mother probably
been living in shame all these years."
"Nonono! She already married so her honor is intact," He told his father.
"What? She married?" Kenshin asked confused, "To whom?"
"It is a long story father. Let�s get out of the street and find some
place comfortable to talk in," He told them. They all nodded their head in
agreement.
After finding a nice teahouse, they entered and Ranma began the relate
the story his mother had told him. Finally after having finished, he looked
around the group to see their faces filled with respect.
"Nodoka was always a clever girl," Kenshin said.
"Wow your mom is really awesome," Misao told Ranma. Ranma smile at her,
which caused her to blush for some reason. 'He�s not half bad looking,'
She thought then realize what she was thinking, "AHHHHH! What am I
thinking? I must be loyal to Aoshi," She thought to herself.
Ranma stared at Misao as she started to have a look of concentration on
her face. He shook his head slightly then turned to his father. "Father it
is
getting late, I better and check in an inn. I�ll talk to your tomorrow.
We�ll meet at this place for breakfast alright?" he asked his father.
"No way!" they heard Misao shout suddenly, "You�re Himura-san's son
right? You�re welcome to stay at my place where your father is staying." she
offered.
"No thank you, I wouldn�t want to intrude. I have plenty of money I can
check into an inn." He said, trying to declined her offer.
"NO! YOU WILL STAY WITH US AND THAT IS FINAL!" she said, as
her head grew bigger and hellish fire surrounded her body.
"S-scary!" Ranma, Kenshin, and Sano exclaimed at once as they hugged
each other for assurance.
"SO WILL YOU?!" Misao bellowed again, the demon head still not having
vanished.
"H-HAI!" Ranma said bobbing his head up and down rapidly. Anything to
get her to calm down. "She�s even scarier than Akane if that's possible."
he thought to himself.
"There that wasn�t so hard now was it?" she said sweetly, now with her
head returned to normal.
The three guys just sweated at her sudden change of mood.
"Well let�s be off shall we?" she said as she paid the bill and left.
"Don�t worry, the assassin won�t come here looking for you," Kaoru
tried to reassure mister Mamoto.
"Please I need Himura-san to protect me. Only he can do it," Mr. Mamoto
told Kaoru. He had been targeted by the unknown assassin that had been
killing off major government officials and felt that he needed serious
protection.
Kaoru hoped that Kenshin would return soon from his walk about; she
needed him here so that he could help her protect this guy. Apparently this
assassin was using the same style as Kenshin to kill the officials. Kenshin
came to Kyoto because he was curious as to who was faking Hiten Mitsurugi
style and using its name to kill the officials. They knew that the assassin
was from some religious sect but they had yet to encounter the assassin
himself.
She heard voices outside which she recognized as Kenshin and company.
However, there was one voice among them she had never heard before.
She rushed out to greet them only to see that they were accompanied by a
boy in a red Chinese outfit who bore a striking resemblance to Kenshin.
She suddenly felt an odd sinking sensation in the pit of her stomach.
"Kenshin! You're back!" Kaoru cried happily, chalking the sensation up to
paranoia.
"Kaoru-dono." Kenshin said to her in greeting, " I have something to tell
you. You might need to sit down for this," he warned her.
Kaoru started to have a renewed sinking feeling about this but sat down
where the others directed her anyway.
After all were seated Kenshin took a deep breath and said, "Kaoru-dono.
Let me introduce you to Himura Ranma..." he said. Kaoru just looked at him
puzzled. Kenshin took a deep breath again. "My son."
"What?!" Said the members of the Oniwabanshu, as they fell through
the door. Apparently they were eavesdropping. With a collective laugh of
embarrassment they got up and went away.
Kenshin the turned back to Kaoru to see her on the floor fainted.
"Kaoru-dono!" Kenshin said in alarm. He held her gently as he tried to
shake her out of her faint spell.
Yahiko was just in shock that Kenshin had a son, so was Aoshi.
"Congratulation," Was all Aoshi got out.
Finally Kaoru awoke and saw Kenshin face, "Ohhh Kenshin. I had the
weirdest dream. I dreamt that you said you had a son."
"I do."
Kaoru fainted again. After more shaking she opened her eyes again and
asked Kenshin to confirm his story. "Is it true?"
"Hai."
Kaoru's heart shattered into little pieces, "If Kenshin had a son, that
would mean that he is married and taken," She thought sadly. She couldn�t
bare it anymore and ran outside crying all the while.
Kenshin and the gang were about to go after her when Ranma stopped
them. "Let me go talk to her. I know what she must be feeling right now.
I�ll go clear things up with her alright?"
They nodded in agreement.
Ranma found Kaoru near the well crying her eyes out.
"Kaoru-san?" he asked softly.
"Who!?" she said in alarm but then saw it was Ranma coming out, "Oh it
is you, sorry, it must not have been what you expected for a welcome right?"
"No it wasn�t. Can I ask you why you are crying Kaoru-san?" he asked
gently.
"Just call me Kaoru," She shrugged. After seeing Ranma nod, she tried to
continue, "It�s just that Kenshin is married and - and..." she tried to
finish the sentence but couldn�t. So she did the next best thing, she burst
into a fresh bout of crying.
Ranma patted her on her shoulder, "You are thinking that my father is
now married and that you can�t win him any more, right?"
"Ye- I mean no. I don�t like that jerk," She told Ranma then looked a little
embarassed at her out burst "Sorry no offense, I just see him as a friend."
"Oh well, I guess that leaves my father free to choose anybody else he
wants now." Ranma said out of the blue.
Kaoru snapped her head up, "W-Wh-What did you say?"
"I said that my father can now go looking for other women. Seeing as
how you don�t like him any more."
"How can he? He�s married," Kaoru wailed.
"He�s not Kaoru, he has no obligation to my mother because my mother is
already married." He told her, "That leaves him free to have any other
women he wants, but he really liked you. It�s just too bad you only see
him as a friend," Ranma said with a smile.
Kaoru was so happy that she still had a chance, "Thank you Ranma!" she
exclaimed as she hugged onto him. "I must have embarrassed myself pretty
badly in there, huh?" she asked him jokingly.
"Oh nothing that a good beating can�t fix. I�ll even help if you want."
He replied jokingly.
Kaoru laughed a bit but then her laugher was cut off by a blood-curtailing
scream.
"What the hell? It sounded like it came from that way." Ranma said
pointing to the main room.
"Oh no Mr. Mamoto! I forgot to tell Kenshin about him." Kaoru exclaimed.
When she turned around Ranma was gone. Just then Kenshin came
rushing out, he too had heard the scream.
"Kaoru-dono are you alright?" Kenshin asked, "Stay here while I check
things out. Aoshi, Sano you're with me," he ordered as they headed toward
the Oniwa main room.
"Like hell they�re gonna leave me back here, I still owe the assassin
one for crippling me a while back." Misao said, still pissed that the
assassin had actually managed to get her several days ago.
When they got into the room they saw Kenshin standing away from the
assassin. They also saw Ranma near Mr. Mamoto, who was doing his best
to cower behind Ranma.
"You move, Battousai and I kill the boy even if I can�t kill the man,"
the assassin warned.
"You harm him in any way and you can consider yourself dead," Kenshin
said in a low and deadly voice. His eye almost seemed to speak of death.
"Don�t try it Battousai, you�re not fast enough. I can kill the boy before
you can get to me." The assassin said.
The others� had already spread out to surround the assassin and keep
him from escaping.
"Who are you?" Kenshin asked.
"I am God. I am here to punish the wicked and that official there has
done evil. I shall strike him down," The assassin said, while pointing his
katana at Mr. Mamoto. "It is unfortunate the boy is in the way. I�ll try
not to hurt him too much."
"Would you stop talking like I am not here?" Ranma said a bit annoyed.
"Don�t worry son. I won�t let any harm come to you," Kenshin said to
his son, positive that he was pretty frightened right now. Kenshin was
surprised when he saw that his son looked more annoyed then scared
when faced with death.
"You are about to witness god-speed boy, too bad you will never see it
coming," the assassin said condecendingly, then blured and disappeared
At the exact same time Kenshin blurred and disappeared also.
The Kenshin Gumi then saw Kenshin appear out of nowhere abruptly
as he started to stare wide-eye at something. Then they looked up at what
he was starting at and their jaws just collectively dropped. There was
Ranma in mid-air seemingly matching the assassin, who was also a Hiten
Mitsurugi master blow for blow.
"Your god-speed is no better then Saffron�s." Ranma said to the assassin
as he dodged most of the guy's strikes. Ranma then threw several kicks at
him in mid-air which struck true. One at the head, one on his chest and one
at his stomach.
The assassin was taken aback by this boy's battle prowess. The boy dodged
his Ryu Su Sen in mid-air. No, he was pretty sure it wasn�t a dodge but
more like a twist to the left that caused him to miss his mark. The boy
seemed to be able to fight very well in mid-air. "Oh well, gonna have to use
that move," he thought.
The two separated then the assassin charged again screaming, "Kzy Ryu
Sen!" as he did his nine hit move. Instead of Ranma trying to dodge it
he yelled out "Amaguriken!" and his fist blurred as the two met, then
separated.
The assassin started to spit out blood, "You're very good boy. We�ll meet
again," He then leaped away; the others didn�t bother to follow because they
were more worried about Ranma's health.
"Any time any place man!" Ranma yelled back to the retreating figure.
He then turned around to see the stares of his father and company. Yahiko
was the first to react.
"WOW! THAT WAS SO COOL!" Yahiko shouted enthusiasticly.
"Son, are you alright?" Kenshin asked in concern for his son.
Ranma's face suddenly bunched up and he let out a groan of pain, "N-not
really. no," he said calmly, then dropped to the floor unconscious.
To be continued...
