When she saw both of her sisters coming along, with Ranma helping to carry what looked to be Kasumi's luggage and other girls trailing behind the trio, she felt a surge of relief that she couldn't help but show. "You guys made it!"
"We hurried as fast as we could, but Dad's complaining, and Kasumi's packing, we were running late," Akane replied. "But we hurried as much as we could."
"I only want to protect what I could... Mother meant for us to have her notebooks, and we're the only heirs to the family heirlooms..." Kasumi murmured.
"I didn't make you leave them behind, did you?"
"No... But I made certain to only take what I can't replace."
"True..."
"Besides, it might be nice to dress like Shampoo's people, wouldn't it?"
"That's true enough," the middle one of the sisters commented, and turned to the sole male of the group. "You decide to help out?"
Ranma smirked at her. "Your dad and mine told me ta make sure ta bring ya three back."
"Then you're..."
"Gonna bring ya back... when it's safe ta do so."
"Ahh..." the mercenary girl said in an impressed tone.
"So, we have more to our group," Cologne drawled, arching a brow at the sizable group around them. "Miss Kuonji, I might have thought that you'd be trying to protect your place of business."
"I don't have a resturant anymore," Ukyo replied in a voice that spoke volumes about what had happened.
"Then it is good that we have this escape readied. How did you find out?"

"As he did me," Kodachi Kuno informed them, "Though it was merely something that I only overheard at first. Normally, I would think twice about the situation, but with the way things are, and how my brother is acting..."
"But it is it okay for us to join you?" Sayuri whispered brokenly, as she and Yuka huddled defensively together. "We'd really like to. We need too... Akane called us and we were hoping... Can we... Please?"
The Matriarch patted the girl's arm with as much reassurance as she could muster. "Of course, child. I'm not about to leave anyone when I can help save them."
"We'll just have to adapt as we go, right?" Akane commented, looking over the weak and teary smiles that the pair were putting out along with her other friends.
"The cards do say that this can work out," Miyo murmured.
"Then we need to get all the girls going," Miss Hinako told them all, "I don't want to have any delinquents trying to hurt them..."
"Fortunately, we can help to protect them," Ukyo put in.
Shampoo nodded. "Fighters can help defend group. But no fight too much."
"Why would you say that?"
"Get into too much trouble, and wind up taking too much time. That something we no have much of, and Shampoo no want risk giving crazy bad people time to catch up."
"Good point."
"Then let's get this show on the road, shall we?" Nabiki suggested, putting a reassuring arm around one of her own friends.
