An odd party made its way to the Tendo Dojo. It wasn’t for the fact that it was made of a random looking bunch of fighters that made it unusual; Nerima saw much stranger.
What was odd was that the party was obviously made up of a bunch of fighters . . . and they weren’t fighting each other!
The group was made up of the Core J Team, Sailor Saturn, and the Amazons. Sailor Pluto had teleported Ranma off to Juuban to see a certain doctor, so neither was really present.
By the time they got to the dojo, they found said senshi waiting outside, grinning like a Chesire Cat. “Ranma ran up stairs as soon as we got back. Apparently, he’s stuck between muttering threats against perverts and blushing quietly whenever he realizes exactly what he thinks they are thinking.”
Jade and Saturn, blushed. Jade knew enough from hanging around some of her guy friends when they made perverted jokes (most of them knew when to stop though; you can only take getting nailed in the shoulder so much before you start learning). Saturn, on the other hand, hung around with Venus and Jupiter a lot, and while Haruka was one to dismiss it, Michiru was starting to worry.
Pluto held the door open for the others, and they walked in, Tohru ducking as he came in. Akane and Nabiki came in to see what was going on, and gaped open mouth at the big guy.
Kasumi, on the other hand, took a different track. “Oh my, maybe I should put on some more tea.”
Her sisters gaped at her, but Tohru only smiled bashfully. “Well, you really don’t have to . . . “
“Oh, I don’t mind. I just wish that Elder Cologne had called ahead to let me know.”
Cologne smiled apologetically. “My apologies, Tendo-san, but we weren’t expecting to have this much help. If you’ll allow me to, I will help you in the kitchen.”
“I can help as well.”
Again, people starting staring at Tohru, but Jade leapt to his defense. “Hey, Tohru’s a great cook!”
“Yes, if only we could keep Jade from helping him . . . “ Jackie muttered, earning himself a dirty look from the teenage girl.
“Hey, I’m not that bad!”
“Aiyah! Last time Jade cooked, she burnt a salad. A SALAD! You are not allowed in the kitchen anymore!”
Jade blushed at this comment, but Pluto laughed, “Oh, hang with Akane-san here, and you’ll be in good company.” When both girls gave her dirty looks, she added, “I’ll see about getting you a remedial cooking tutor if you want though; to be honest, when I was your age, I was the same way as well!”
“When was that, a millennium ago?” Uncle quipped.
“Two thousand, five hundred, seven years and two months ago.” Again, people stared. “In the Silver Millennium, that would have made me about middle aged for a Senshi. However, much of that was spent in a cryogenic tube in a Distorted Schism where time ran slow compared to the outer world, and I did end up getting reincarnated about a year and a half ago.”
There was still some staring, but Jade took Saturn’s understanding nod as something that was common to Senshi, so she ignored it. As the rest of the party made its way into the main house, Tohru, Cologne, and Kasumi made their way into the kitchen.
Not before Pluto called after them, however. “Just to let you know, we may have two more guests coming over tomorrow, one of which has an appetite on par with Ranma’s.”
Uncle blinked for a moment, confused, but Cologne nodded, “I see, so the old coot’s heir will be better by tomorrow?”
“It would be better to say that she and her friend will be back in the area by late tonight, and may be dropping by tomorrow.”
Again, she was met with confused looks.
Later that night, at the Higurashi Shrine, Kagome stomped back into the house, ready to study for a test tomorrow, and was followed by a rather annoyed inu hanyou, Inuyasha.
However, her plans were shelved when her Grandfather came up to meet her, “Ah, Kagome! You have a job to do tomorrow!”
Kagome blinked, “Tomorrow? Job? What are you talking about?”
“Remember how I told you that, as my heir and the Priestess of the Shrine here, you’d have to do the occasional odd job around Tokyo for me?”
“Yeah, so?”
“An old friend of mine called me yesterday,” he said, grinning wildly, “She needs help with something over in Nerima, but I had to tell you that were sick with Influenza. But since you came back so soon, you can go represent our Shrine!”
Kagome was obviously unhappy, “But Gramps! I have to go to school tomorrow! There’s an Algebra test this Friday that I really have to pass, or I may end up having to repeat this grade!”
“Oh, I wouldn’t worry about that,” Kagome turned to look in shock at her mother, who was usually somewhat concerned when it came to Kagome’s grades. “I happen to know another friend of mine who will be their tomorrow. While you and Inuyasha are there, she has promised to help you catch up and be ready for your test.”
“But Mom!”
“Oh Kagome, you worry too much! Besides, she’s the guidance counselor over in one of Juuban’s high schools, and knows one of their top scoring students, so you’ll be in good hands!”
Kagome sighed, but her grandfather had an issue to rise, “Wait just one second! Who said that Demon could go?”
“Feh!” Inuyasha snorted, “If you think I’m going to let Kagome run around a city like this without me, you got another thing coming, Old Man!”
Kagome sighed as the old man sputtered, but her mother stepped in as usual, “But Father! Setsuna especially requested that Inuyasha come with her!”
Surprisingly, the lone Higurashi male stopped sputtering and just nodded, chastened. Inuyasha was about to open his mouth to gloat, but he was caught before he said a word.
“Sit Boy!”
CRASH!
