Sheila returned the hug. "It went okay, those two just wanted details and it wore me out emotionally."
Ranma glanced at Bri and Nabiki with narrowed eyes but was smirking. He turned to Sheila and whispered so that only she could hear it. "Did you give them all the details?"
Sheila blushed and whispered back, "No, I kept some secrets." Ranma smiled and nodded.
Gar cleared his throat. "Please, can you lead all of us to the soccer field?" Ranma nodded and led everyone out the door. Brianna stayed behind to leave a note for her dad.

Meanwhile at the Kuno estate. . .
While Kodachi was getting her things packed. Theo was questioning Sasuke about the wererats. "So you left the clan twenty-four years ago?" Theo then blinked, "That was just before the werecheetah massacre."
Sasuke nodded, "Yes, I was spying on Elder Gothwrain and the oracle of the wererats. I had suspitions that Gothwrain had gone insane because of his age." Sasuke shook his head. "When the oracle saw that the wererats would be wiped out because of a werecheetah, Gothwrain went ballistic. He placed a spell on the clans that made all wererats afraid of werecats, especially werecheetahs."
Theo blinked, "Did you get hit with it?"
Sasuke nodded, "Yes I did. I'll tell you how I got it off of me in a moment. For awhile I had continued to follow Gothwrain when he approached a werewolf by the name of Brad, or Brandin or something."
"Brendan. Brendan the Betrayer, he was the Alpha of the werewolves at the time, until his daughter Jetta took it from him."
Sasuke blinked, and nodded his head, "That's about right I guess. Anyways, when I saw that I left the clan. I couldn't stand killing innocent people that had done nothing to us."
Theo blinked, "I see, but what do you know about Gothwrain? And how did you get that spell off of you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I should've explained better. About three years after leaving the clan I came across this Animorph priest and he undid the spells on me."
Theo raised an eyebrow, "Animorph?"
Sasuke nodded, "Yeah, they're like werefolk as in they have a human, hybrid, and full animal forms, but they don't have magic and silver weaknesses. Nor do they posses werefolk enhancements." He then shrugged, "Basically, they're enhanced humans."
Theo nodded, "I see."
"As for Gothwrain." Sasuke frowned, "He's like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, and Saddam Huesein combined."
Theo blinked and raised an eyebrow, "That bad?"
"No I underplayed it, he's worse. He controls nearly all wererats with an iron glove. If you're not part of the clan, your an enemy, and all enemies must die. And unfortunately the werecheetahs were marked marked as enemies. Too bad they're none left."
"Actually there is."
Sasuke looked at the mage, "There is?"
Theo nodded, "Yes, my adopted daughter Britanny Elin'Gia Diggers, her unborn child, my other daughter Brianna (although she's only half werecheetah) and a young man by the name of Raphiel Rey."
"There are three that survived the slaughter?"
Theo shook his head, "No, only one survived, Britanny. Brianna was born through a special situation and she doesn't like to talk about it. Raphiel is actually a super-complex golem that has all of a werecheetah's abilities."
Sasuke blinked, "Wow, that's interesting." He then blinked again, "Wait, you said that Brianna was half werecheetah."
Theo winced, he had forgotten how sensitive a wererat's ears were, nearly as much as a jagwere's. "She's half werecheetah and half human. Anyone who sees her and doesn't know her that well will think she's a werecheetah. She has pointed ears and spotted hair."
Sasuke blinked, "Oh I see." He smiled fondly as a thought came to him, "I wonder how my daughter Moshia is doing? It's been awhile since I've seen her."
Theo blinked, "Is your full name Sasuke Riche?"
Sasuke nodded, "Yes. I took my wife's name when we married."
Theo groaned, "Britanny is not going to like this."
"Oh, why?"
Theo sighed, "Your daughter has been trying to kill mine for some time now."
Sasuke interrupted, "I bet Gothwrain put her up to it."
Theo nodded, "Probably. I just wish I knew where he was."
Sasuke hummed, "Well, he used to have an office in Hokkido." He then shrugged, "At least he did when I worked for him. As well as a werehouse full of magical and silver weapons and artifacts."
Theo blinked and nodded. That was just the information that he needed. Even if the wererats moved away, there would probably still be clues as to where Gothwrain could be.
"Something about beating someone named Benji."
"With or without the collar on?"
"Without it why?"
"Oh that's just what I named him."
