Kasumi's Firefly: Morning Meal [Episode 45256]

by Kender

Coming down for breakfast that morning, Nabiki noticed that things were still quite a bit tense. Her "Good Morning" was only answered by a "Hey" from Ranma, and a "Morning" from Genma. Akane decidely ignored her while sidling closer to her fiance. Hotaru seemed to shrink from her. Soun's regular newspaper was not in evidence, replaced by a scowl as he mechanically ate his meal. Which happened to be rather plain, especially by 'Kasumi' standards.

Who by the way, was only getting to the table herself. "I've spoken to him father."

"And..?" asked Soun.

"Mr. Saneda says that we will have to fill out quite a bit of paperwork to make it, but he feels that it is possible."

"What does he mean for us to do in the mean time?"

"He wants us to have Nabiki continue to go to Furinkan until such time as everything can be readied for her transfer to the new school."

The middle Tendo choked on her rice. "WHAT?!"

"Father wants us to send you to a school where special care is given to 'problem children'."

"I don't need to go to that sort of place!"

Her father's scowl deepened. "You have shown yourself to be a disgrace to your family."

"What..."

"You have sold pornographic pictures of your sister and her fiancee."

"That was business!"

"You tried to dismemeber a memeber of this family so that you could sell her parts."

"I was only trying to take advantage of an opportunity!"

"You groped a young girl while we were sleeping."

"That was only to find her off button!"

Slapping his hand down onto the table, Soun glared at her. "There will be NO discussion on this! You will have to take what your actions have given you, and not dishonor yourself any further!"

"But..."

"I said that's final! I am only happy that your poor mother has not had to see how you've fallen."

A pall fell onto those at the table, and no one thought to break it.

"Someone pass the miso." No one, save Genma that was.

Akane got up from her seat and picked up her bag. "I'm going to school. You coming Ranma?"

The pigtailed boy looked from his bowl to his fiancee, and began to protest, but then decided against it. "Uh... sure."

As the two of them left, Soun looked to his old friend. "I seem to have lost my appetite. Care for a game of shogi, Genma?"

"But I haven't finished my meal..," complained the portly martial artist.

"I'm sure that Kasumi can wrap it up for later," the Tendo Patriarch told him cooly.

"But... I see your point. Just let me get cleaned up."

"Oh my," commented Kasumi as she got up, "I have so much to do to get ready for those papers."

"I'll help you Kasumi-sempai," offered Hotaru.

"Thank you," the eldest Tendo daughter replied, and the four of them departed to do their own things.

Leaving Nabiki in the remains of the family breakfast.

While she sat there,:
