"Auntie..." Nabiki moaned.
"Ummm yeah," Ranma said. "Should she come with us?"
"I'll see if she is interested," Professor Xavier said.
****
Kasumi Tendo.
Kasumi almost dropped her knife as the words entered her mind. She glanced around seeking out the location of the voice.
"Who's there?" Kasumi asked cautiously.
Perhaps it would be better if you didn't actually talk, the voice said. Kasumi narrowed her eyes, but returned to her task.
Who are you? Kasumi asked. She was not in-experienced with telepathy, she had a fairly strong connection with animals. VERY strong.
Professor Charles Xavier the voice said. Kasumi blinked and widened her eyes, but then considered whether or not to believe this mystery voice. A friend of yours asked that we make you an offer.
A friend? Kasumi repeated. Excuse me sir, can you be more specific? I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I seem to be moderately lost. There was a brief mental chuckle.
Your training in controling your changes has given you impressive mental defenses for a non-telepath, Xavier said. Then again, you are not truly non-telepathic, are you?
Can we please get to the point? Kasumi asked quietly.
Ranma Saotome was kidnapped from your house by unknown means, Xavier's voice explained.
Oh dear, Kasumi said. I assume that now you'll be telling me where to find him? That smacked of a trap.
Yes, but he is no longer in captivity, Xavier said. We aided his escape, along with the escape of several others. They are now attending a school being put together by Sunfire.
Well, that's nice, Kasumi said. Would Ranma be the friend you mentioned previously?
Yes, Xavier said. Were you aware that your sister Nabiki was a mutant as well?
Oh dear, Kasumi said. No, I wasn't. Her knife did slip at this news.
There is a chance that the powers that kidnapped Ranma in the first place may return, Xavier said. Hence the reason Ranma is not returned to your home. Likewise, Nabiki is to be trained in using her powers as well.
Really, Kasumi responded, somewhat doubtfully. At least, until they may have a greater chance of defending themselves from thieves in the night, Xavier explained. The suggestion has been made to offer you the chance to attend the same school
Kasumi arched an eyebrow.
I see, Kasumi said. I'm afraid I shall have to decline that offer, I have duties here. But I SHALL insist upon seeing both my sister and Ranma.
