Well, here's a major change.  Long ago and far away I planned to have Zhu
Shu fighting the cheerleading squad, but dropped it because the chapter was
far too long.

"You're not Zhu Shu.  There's no way they would have known where you were if
you had stayed out of  Chinatown.  And you're not alone here.  I'll protect
you too."

It occurs to me that with all the effort Nabiki went to to retrieive all
the photos after the kiss on the train, there may be many good leads to the
Tendous' now.

"I don't think so.  He has a good heart{: ,} Akane.  He may not be all that great
at showing it {: to you}, but I think that might have to do with the fact that he's
your fianc�."

Friday dawned bright and clear over Nerima.  Kasumi hummed happily at her
work as she prepared breakfast.  Nabiki sat and laid odds on who would go
into the {Koi : koi} pond first. As Ranma once more landed in the pond, Akane came
down to breakfast.  Kasumi brought out several trays as Ranma wrung out her
shirt, studiously ignoring Akane.  Akane looked at Ranma with a strangely
subdued expression as she sat down at the table.  Nabiki watched both of
them curiously.

Zhu Shu spent several hours composing her letter to her grandfather while
Akane and Ranma were in school, then helped Kasumi clean house until they
got a visit from a well to do reporter by the name of Tsukino who spent
several hours looking over the dojo and talking to Soun before deciding that
it was okay for his daughter and her friends to attend {Martial Arts :
martial arts} classes {: there}.
{  :}Why his little Usagi wanted to learn martial arts was beyond him, but he
approved of the idea of her getting some discipline.  Soun wept for joy
again when the man handed him the check for the girl's entire first year....

Luna clapped both paws over the sensitive organ.  "I'm her {Guardian : guardian}!"  She
yelped.

Zhu Shu nodded.  She'd heard.  Zhu Shu was very glad the {Dojo : dojo} was so
isolated from the main house, or a major disaster might have ensued.  She
felt she could trust Akane and her sisters, and probably Ranma, but Genma
would have been a major problem.

"Usagi.  Why keep Zhu Shu secret from {Guardian : guardian}?"

"Usagi!  Should have told {Guardian : guardian}.  Small mistake.  Understandable in young
girl."

A hum in the air made her look up as a tiger stripped saucer dropped down to
hover over the {Dojo : dojo}.  She stared as a hatch opened in the bottom and Japan's
Number One Famous Alien poked her horned head out.  "Konichiwa, Zhu Shu.
Have you seen Darling? He ran away again!"

Zhu Shu sighed.  "Zhu Shu understands.  She spend week at Tomobiki.  Have
deal with Hentai {squad : Squad}."

Monday morning was a change of pace as it was Zhu Shu's first day of school.
{  :}Her grandfather's permission had arrived on Sunday along with paperwork
detailing her "schooling".  She smiled at Sung Po's signature on the
paperwork.  At least it seemed the local magistrate did not hold her choice
to try and not have to marry his son against her.  Her {Grandfather : grandfather} had also
sent her a letter to tell her that Ke Lun had met with him and advised him
of her current quest.  She had his blessing and approval.  He also informed
her that Pin Ke had showed up in town, looking for yet another rematch.  She
had been irate to find Zhu Shu gone.  Lin Ke had been, as always, apologetic
for her sister.  Zhu Shu had sighed at that.  One day, she'd have to deal
with Pin Ke once and for all, only her friendship with Lin Ke had prevented
her from paying Pin Ke back for all she and Ying Ying had endured from the
bullying girl as they grew up.  The girl from the next village had a lot to
answer for, and not just from her.  Shan Pu had had stories of Pin Ke to
tell too ....

"Ah Nabik-  Oh!  Can it be?  My beautiful Chinese Goddess!  Oh!  As the
Apple tree doth shake off the snow and lift it's branches to the sun of
spring, so does my heart throw off the cold snows of it's desolation at the
joyous return of your beauty!  Yea, {My : my} heart doth rejoice at the happy fates
which hath returned you to me, My Goddess!"  He lunged to envelop Zhu Shu.

The tall busty blonde watched as Zhu Shu disappered into the girls changing
room and gave a slight frown.  This new girl was formidible, possibly even a
match for her, and the way the Hentai Squad was chasing her irritated her.
She was going to have to teach the fools who were still the {beautys : beauties} of
Furinkan High.
