"The yakuza understanding on your district shall continue," Yashida promised her.
"Ah, very good," Kasumi said. "Now...I suppose that I shall have to live on site. This will require me to speak to my family I suppose. They shall have to learn to attend to the housework themselves for the time." That is, they'd have to attend to that if any money was to come into the family.
"Of course," Sunfire said, bowing. "Should I tell Ranma and Nabiki that'll you'll be teaching them?"
"Oh no," Kasumi said. "They already arranged for the offer to be made for me to join them in classes, but I think I should like to surprise them."

Kasumi found a surprising ally upon returning home, Nodoka.
"You're LEAVING us!?" Akane gasped.
"All is lost!" a panda sign declared. "We shall be forced to eat Akane's food." Kasumi and Nodoka sighed a frustration.
"I'm sorry, but yes," Kasumi said. "Someone must provide for the family."
"Nabiki has always done well in that regard," Genma's panda sign declared.
"Yes, Nabiki..." Soun protested.
"Will be attending a new school where she will be unable to acquire funds as usual," Kasumi said. "Nor should she have ever been either pressured, encouraged or even allowed into providing for us as she has been, though I suppose there was no one else to earn money for the family."
"Nabiki is going to a new school?" Akane asked, suspiciously.
"Yes," Nodoka confirmed. "I saw her off myself. Do not be worried it is an exceptional school."
"I have seen the facilities," Kasumi said. "And I would have to agree."
"But, what will you be doing?" Soun demanded.
"I have an offer to be a home economics teacher," Kasumi said. "Apparently I have something of a reputation. I shall transfer a portion of the funds I receive each month here."
"And in the meantime," Nodoka said. "I shall take control over the household in Kasumi's absence."
"Oh excellent! Then everything is all right," Soun declared, resulting a rather shocked expression from Kasumi that she could so easily be dismissed.
Meanwhile...
"All is lost!" Genma declared. "The sake shall never flow again!"

Several days later, an interesting scene was occurring at the Yashida school for gifted youngsters.
"Why do we have to take home economics?" Ranma asked.
"I have no idea Saotome," Nabiki responded. "I'd asked that myself at Furinkan." That's when Kasumi entered the room. She was dressed mostly normally dressed except for the lack of an apron.
"Sis?" Nabiki blinked.
"Wait a minute," Ranma said. "Professor Xavier told us you said you weren't going to come to school here."
"I'm not coming to school here, Ranma-kun," Kasumi said, as she lifted up a small document bag and set it on the front desk of the room. Nabiki's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates as Kasumi took position behind the teacher's cooking station.
"Oh my goodness..." Nabiki whimpered.
"Konnichi-wa, class," Kasumi said cheerfully. "I'll be one of your instructors here at the school...."
As Kasumi continued introducing herself, Nabiki tried to disappear under her desk while Ranma just looked relieved that Kasumi would be around. He didn't understand...he had no clue...
Oh the horror of having a relative for a teacher.
