"Kasumi, I brought Kimiko home tonight. I thought it might be best if 
she stayed in the guest room. Seeing as how your dad is out getting 
drunk with my old man." Ranma stated calmly.

" Kimiko, what an odd coincidence that is my mother's name. Of course 
you can let her stay there. " Kasumi replied. Then she stepped into the 
living room from the direction of the kitchen.  She stood there for a 
minute maybe slightly more and collapsed.

Ranma managed to catch her.

Kimiko stepped over and examined her eldest daughter. Nodding she spoke 
for the first time, " Kaschan will be fine in a few minutes. She just 
fainted from the shock."

Ranma commented " How unusual, she ordinarily takes everything in 
stride. Well I will lay her on the couch. Do you want to sit with her 
and try to waken her.?"

" Of course; Ranma.  She is my little girl , even if she isn't so little 
anymore.  Sigh I would have liked to have been here with them  or  at 
least watching over them more but  I had things to do ( upstairs ) . I 
wonder how Soun and the others will like my return, I hope they don't 
want me to leave!"

" Not a chance, I know they missed you a lot. You have a place where you 
are needed, in more than one way too. The techniques you learned in ( 
the  corps up there) will serve you well here on Earth. I know a few of 
them, from when I died, and I know you and Soun will be able to get many 
people to study under you, just for those, not to mention the Anything 
Goes Tendo school techniques. I learned a few of them and they are 
better than a lot of the old man's. Crouch of the Tiger, Hundred Yen, HEH!"

Akane and Nabiki enter the room quietly for a change. Seeing someone 
with Kasumi's head on her lap. They are rather shocked. Then Nabiki 
looks up at some paintings of her family, then over at the Altar on the 
wall. Then she runs over shouting "MOM"

Akane stares at Nabiki, in total disbelief. She doesn't really remember 
her mother.

Ranma who had stepped into the Kitchen, to see if Kasumi had left 
anything cooking. Casually asked " Akane aren't you going to go over and 
say hello to your mom. I mean I went and returned her to life for you. 
Just as I returned you to life back at Jusendo. I heard you say how much 
you missed her the other day so I fixed everything up for you to have 
what you wanted. "

At this point all the faces in the room turned to stare at Ranma. 
Everyone had a look of total disbelief. One thought was in their heads, 
He heard her and just  like that he did the impossible  and returned 
someone to life .!  Building them a new body!! Just to please his 
girlfriend!!!  Impossible!!!!

This is a rewrite of chapter one. I hope it is found to be superior to 
the original.

Crouch of the Tiger is bowing to your opponent and asking for his mercy.
Hundred Yen is a distraction technique, you say you saw a hundred yen 
piece and the hit your opponent, when he goes to look for it.
Both where invented by Genma. Both where based on his tastes and beliefs.

"I guess I'm just an old-fashioned sentimentalist at heart.  I refuse
 to accept a no-win scenario.  I hate the thought of a universe without
 justice.  If the maneuverings of dark powers can't be exposed and
 defeated by the pure of heart, then there's no point in anything.  I
 can't believe that."
