Disclaimer: I do not own Ranma use it merely for entertainment purposes.

After the phone call to last night to his Mother's house informing them that he spotted Genma a meeting was called. Because of the late our last night it was decided everyone would meet at Kyoko and the Boy's apartment after school the next day. This was agreed upon because after a plan was formed to catch Genma they would use the apartment as a staging area as it was in Nerima where Genma had apparently taken up residence.

The next afternoon the six people met at the apartment to discuss their plan of action. "Think the best thing we can do is split up and search," Ukyou suggested. "We can cover a lot more ground that way."

"I think we should use Ranma's Remote Viewing personally," Akira countered. "He can cover a lot more ground a lot quicker then the rest of us on foot."

"But by the time he finds Saotome and we head to the location Saotome could have left the area," Meia argued.

"We'll do both," Kyoko said. "Both ideas have their merit and weaknesses alone. However if we combine the ideas, they will have less flaws and a greater chance of success."

"But how will we combine them?" Nodoka asked.

"Ranma will stay here and search with his Remote Viewing, while the rest of us head out to two groups on foot," Kyoko instructed. "The chances are Ranma will find Saotome the quickest and he can relate his location to the group closest to him."

"But how will Ranchan contact us?" Ukyou asked.

"Through me," Akira answered seeing where Kyoko was going. "I can stay in contact with Ranma through my Telepathy and I can relate information he finds to Sensei. Psionics are more sensitive to Telepathy so we can keep in contact through me."

"Why not just use cell phones?" Meia asked.

"To use a phone I would have to turn off my Remote Viewing," Ranma answered. "And it's best if I constantly watch Saotome. You take you're eyes off him for a second and he gets away."

"Then it is decided," Nodoka said. "Kyoko, Ukyou and I will search north of the apartment and Meia and Akira will search the south."

"What do we do when he catch him?" Meia asked.

"Knock him out," Kyoko answered. "And then bring him to a secure location so we can find out where your Scrolls are."

"And where should we take him?" Ranma asked. "He did have that friend with him last night. If Saotome disappears he could go looking for him."

"Take him to our place," Nodoka answered. "The only ones who know where we live are right here." The others nodded seeing the logic behind Nodoka's suggestion. "Now then shall we go?"

With no other prompting needed the group split up. Once everyone was out of the apartment Ranma activated his Remote Viewing and started to search the area. Knowing how his former Father is Ranma started off in the section of the District with the highest concentration of bars on the south side of the town.

After a half an hour of searching one bar after another Ranma saw a Panda and a couple of men stumbling out of a bar. One of the men put the other into a cab and then shoves the Panda away from him. 'That's him!' Ranma thought. 'Akira!'

'Yeah?' Ranma's best friend asked.

'I found him,' Ranma answered. 'He's in your section of the District in the bar section. He won't be hard to spot as his Jusenkyo Curse has been activated.'

'Alright we'll head there,' Akira thought. 'We're only a couple of kilometers from that area so we'll be there in a few minutes. Let us know he moves away.'

'Don't worry I will,' Ranma thought.

For the next five minutes Ranma observed Genma-Panda walking up and down the street, apparently still sober, waving his sign around asking a couple of pedestrians to donate to the save the Panda Foundation in an attempt to get more Sake money. When saw Akira and Meia entered the area, Ranma witness the quick and brutal apprehension of Genma-Panda. He observed as Meia proved to her Ninja Heritage by sneaking up on Genma-Panda by sticking to the shadows and get within just a couple of meters as Akira moved close enough to capture Genma-Panda with his Telekinesis. After both got into position Akira grabbed Genma-Panda making him an easy target from Meia who came up behind the frozen cursed man and started striking all his vital areas until it was clear the Panda was out cold.

'We got him,' Akira contacted Ranma.

'I saw,' Ranma returned. 'Tell Mom and the others we got him and then head to Mom's House. We'll meet you there.'

'Already done,' Akira replied. 'We'll see you there.'

Genma felt a familiar sensation as he woke up. The sensation was pain, it was familiar because pain was often felt when he was training under his dreaded Master. He had not felt such pain in a long time, nearly ten years in fact. So feeling the pain right now only led Genma to one conclusion, the Master had returned for revenge. Upon realization Genma jumped into his most dreaded and successful stance, one the got him out of a many tight spot in the past, the Crouch of the White Tiger. "I'm sorry Master! I'm sorry Master! I'm sorry Master!" Genma repeated over and over again as he prostrated himself in front of all to see.

"I can't believe this is the guy that stole my family's technique scrolls," a young girl's voice said stopping Genma mid apology.

'A young girl?' Genma thought. 'There would never be a young girl near the Master! That means that I'm still safe!' With this joyous though in mind Genma opened his eyes, he had kept them closed so as not to see the anger on his Master's face, and saw a sight that was confusing to his simple mind. There were two teenage girls, two teenage boys, and two women all looking at him with looks of disgust and hatred on their faces. The truly odd thing about this group was that Genma actually recognized everyone in the room except for the two teenage girls. They were his Wife, his 'Ungrateful Son,' and said Son's friends. Wanting to get answers Genma decided to speak up, "Worthless Boy! What is going on here?" Genma then went into his fake crying routine, "Oh what have I done to…ACK!" and was quickly cut off as too invisible forced lifted him off the ground him his throat.

"The only person that is 'worthless' in this room is you, Saotome!" Ranma declared. He and Akira had shut his wayward father up by applying their Telekinesis to choke and suspend his in midair. "Now you will stay quiet unless we ask you a question." He held up his right hand and electricity started to crackle on his fingertips. "If you talk without us asking you a question first you will get a rather nasty shock." Ranma dropped his hand and released his Telekinetic hold on Genma. Akira held him for a moment longer and gave one final squeeze before letting go.

"The only reason you're not in jail right now is because there is a private matter that we don't want the public to know about," Nodoka said standing up.

"Wife! How could you…ACK!" Genma tried to talk but a zap from Ranma shut him up.

"You were not asked a question Saotome," Ranma simply said. "If you speak out of turn the next time the voltage will be higher."

"Thank you Ranma," Nodoka said. "I do not wished to be interrupted again, Saotome." Genma's mouth dropped at Nodoka's use of his last name. Normally he would have spoke, demanding answers but the pain from the shock stopped him from speaking. "Now where was I?" Nodoka asked herself. "Oh yes, the private matter I mentioned earlier has to do with Meia here. She is the last member of the Ikari Ninja Clan. You do remember them don't you, Saotome?"

"No," Genma lied. He would never admit to wrongdoing, unless he had no other choice but to save his skin. At this point Genma felt he could lye his way out of this situation. 'Once I get out of this I'll get Tendo and we'll make sure the Worthless Boy marries one of his daughters and I can live out my days in luxury.'

"You're lying," Akira casually. "And I can't believe you're still trying to marry Ranma off." Genma turned white at the news that Akira knew what he was planning. Akira smirked at the obvious fright from the foolish man. "Oh and to give you fair warning you are about to get a really bad headache. You had you're chance to avoid this by confessing but since you obviously won't tell the truth we have to do this the painful way." Akira focused his Telepathy and started to search Genma's mind for the information about where Meia's family scrolls were. As Akira searched Genma's mind he became even more disgusted by what he saw, even after he lost Ranma Genma had sold his Son and stole everything he could get his hands on all the while honestly blaming Ranma for his problems. 'He actually believes that because Ranma was not there to take the blame it was his fault? This guy is as bad as Ryouga! Better find the information fast I don't want to be in here more than I have to.' Doubling his efforts Akira searched at a higher pace, and subsequently causing Genma more pain, until he finally found what he was looking for.

Seeing Akira refocus on the world around Meia asked, "Did you find out where the scrolls are?"

Before he answered Meia's question Akira said. "I'm going to need a really long bath after this and spend a lot of time purifying my thoughts after being inside his head." With a deep breath to calm his disgusted mind Akira answered Meia's question, "Yeah I found them. Your Family Scroll detailing the stealth and infiltration techniques he kept with him. He has it in his pack at the Tendo Dojo. The other Scroll the one dealing with you're assassin techniques are a place called the Kumon Dojo. He separated them because it would cut his chances of getting caught using the scrolls by half. Saotome even lied to the owner of the Dojo saying the Scroll that he called Yama-sen-ken was a gift of friend ship."

"You gave away my family's techniques of assassination to a stranger!" Meia yelled. "Don't you know what will happen if their misused?"

"Well…um I…that is…I," Genma knew he could not come up with a plausible reason because Akira would just say he was lying again. Still that did not stop him from trying, humans are creatures of habit after all and one of Genma's habits was trying to shift the blame to Ranma. "If I didn't have such a weak Son I…" This time Genma was cut off when a Telekinetic blow and a sheathed katana impacted his head.

"Don't you ever speak about my Son like that!" Nodoka and Kyoko yelled in unison. The two women looked at one another and smiled thinking, 'Great minds think a like.'

"Well since everyone else is getting their licks in I may as well join the party," Ukyou said. She took her extend-o-staff from her back, pressed the extension button allowing it to reach its full two-meter length, and bashed Genma's head with it. Her choice of weapon came from a result of her abandoning the Kuonji name. When she did she abandoned the Okonomiyaki School of Martial Arts as well. She still remembered the techniques however but instead of using a giant spatula Ukyou now used a staff and modified maneuvers from techniques what she remembered as well as her own techniques.

The impact of the extend-o-staff so soon after the blows from Nodoka and Kyoko caused Genma to fall unconscious. "Now that we've gotten all we wanted out of this piece of crap we should call the police and have him picked up," Ranma said.

"And after that we'll head to the Tendo Dojo and retrieve my Scroll," Meia added. "Akira do you know where the Kumon Dojo is?"

"Yeah," Akira answered. "He remembered the location of he Dojo just in case he was ever caught by you Clan. He planned on shifting the blame to them if he was ever found. He never anticipated a Telepath would be the one to find him, not that he could ever do anything about it. His mental defenses were non existent."

Meia smiled, "Finally, my father's soul will finally be put to rest, now that our Family Scrolls will be back."

"I'll make a call to Yamada and have him pick Saotome up," Kyoko said walking out of the room. But before she left she called back, "Be sure to tie him up just incase he wakes up before Yamada gets here."

The five other people nodded and preceded to tie Genma up in ropes, chains and gagged him so they would not have to listen to him talk. Half an hour latter Genma woke up again, when did he tried to wiggle free from his bindings but having nearly one hundred Kilograms of restraints on a person makes it very difficult to move. Another half an hour later Officer Yamada arrived and took the struggling Genma away. With a promise to come by on an unofficial basis later literally Yamada dragged Genma out of Nodoka's House.

After Yamada left the group noticed it was late and that it would not be prudent to head for the Tendo Dojo right now. With the invitation from Nodoka to stay the night Akira, Ranma and Kyoko agreed, they were in all honesty too tired from the day and questioning to leave. After sleeping arrangements were made, the boys would sleep in the living room, the girls would share Meia's room, and Kyoko would take Ukyou's room, everyone turned in for the night.

Tendo Soun woke up this morning confused on how he got home from yet another drinking binge with his friend the previous night. All he remembered was going out to try and find Ranma once again after Nabiki refused to help them. After an intensive search, which to everyone else would be fifteen minutes, they decided to take a well-deserved break at local bar. After that Soun's memories become increasingly blurry, all he could recall for sure was that Genma had turned into a Panda and there was a cab ride afterwards. 'The cab must have brought me home," Soun concluded accurately. What he did no remember was why he called the cab in the first place. What Soun was not aware of was that Kasumi had made an arrangement with all the local bar owners so that if Soun were to ever pass out in their bar they would call a cab to bring him home. No such deal was made for Genma and thus his run in with Akira and Meia last night. 'I wonder what happened to Saotome?' Soun thought. 'Knowing him he'll come back around once he's hungry.'

An hour later after Akane and Nabiki left for School Soun was relaxing in the tea room finishing his morning paper when a knock on the front door disturbed the quiet of the house. Knowing that Kasumi would get the door he did not even bother to look up from his paper. When he heard Kasumi call, "Father there are some people here to see you," Soun did put the newspaper down.

When the Tendo Patriarch arrived at the door he saw a group of six people waiting for him. When Soun surveyed the faces of the people waiting for him he only recognized two of them. His best friend's wife and son, "At last you've come!" Soun started his waterworks and lunged for Ranma and missed hitting Akira. "Wah! I'm so happy you're here! Wah!" Not noticing or caring that he actually hit the wrong boy, Soun continued on, "Now the Schools will finally be joined! Wah!" Through his tears Soun managed to remember that Nodoka had come by as well and switched from crying about Ranma arriving to crying about seeing her again. "Wah! Friend's Wife has come to see me after so many years! Wah! And she's brought Ranma to fulfill the pledge! Wah! Saotome will be so happy to see you! Wah!"

Finally having enough of a guy hugging him Akira used his Telekinesis to push Soun away while shouting, "Get off of me!" Akira took a moment to straighten his close before glaring at the bewildered Tendo Father.

Taking charge of the situation Nodoka spoke up. "Mr. Tendo I am not here for any kind of marriage proposition Saotome may have made. I am here to retrieve some personal property he has stolen and returning it to its proper owner."

Soun caught the use of Genma's last name by his wife. "Why did you call you're husband by his last name?"

"Because he has not been my husband for years," Nodoka answered. "I took my Family name back after I divorced him."

"What do you mean divorced him?" Soun asked. "And what do you mean by marriage proposal? Ranma must marry Akane and take over the Dojo to unite Anything Goes!"

"That is not happening, Mr. Tendo!" Ranma answered. "I haven't used Anything Goes since I was nine when Saotome lost all legal claims as my Father do to the Endangerment of a Juvenile. That also means that what ever deals he made on my behalf past, present and future no longer apply to me."

"But honor demands that you marry Akane!" Soun stated. "And you will honor the pledge to unite the Schools!"

Ranma was one step away from frying Soun with his Electrokinesis for trying to order him around when Kyoko placed a hand on his shoulder to calm it down. "This is getting us nowhere," Kyoko stated. "Mr. Tendo, your friend has been arrested for several crimes and is currently in Police Custody. We called the police of him after we discovered the location of some stolen items he had in his possession."

"What?" Soun shouted. "H…how could you do this to him?"

"After everything he's done to us that was the least we could do!" Meia said.

"Kasumi," Ranma turned to the stunned Eldest Tendo Daughter, "Could you tell us where Saotome's pack is. In its contents is what we are here for."

"Of course Ranma," Kasumi answered.

Soun hearing his daughter comply with Ranma's request caused his mouth to drop. No one said anything for the few seconds that Kasumi was gone. When she returned with the pack Soun asked, "Kasumi what are you doing?"

"Something that Mother would have done," Kasumi replied causing Soun to freeze up. If there was anything that could break Soun of his dilutions it was a reminder of his wife. Unfortunately for all those present the uniting of Anything Goes was Soun's greatest obsession not just his delusion. This meant that it would only put off Soun's demands for Ranma to unite Anything Goes until later.

After Ranma retrieved the pack he handed it to Meia. She immediately started searching through the contents. In it she found three faded Gis, some bottles of sake, a couple of marriage contracts regarding Ranma and several Martial Arts Technique Scrolls. "Looks like my family was not the only one Saotome techniques from," Meia said holding up on of the other Scrolls.

"Hey I recognize that hand writing," Akira said. "That's Chi Master Fung's hand writing. This must be that Scroll that was stolen from him twenty years ago."

"But I though Master Fung said that scroll was stolen from him by a perverted midget," Ranma said.

"I think Saotome might have stolen it from that pervert, Ranchan," Ukyou supplied. "He didn't have any honor not even among fellow thieves."

"We should all the Scrolls with us," Kyoko spoke up. "We should try and determine whom they belong to and return them."

"Yeah it takes years and even lifetimes to invent original techniques. It took a lifetime for one ancestor of mine to each to invent and perfect the techniques Saotome stole and " Meia added. "It's a tragic loss and a sever insult to a Dojo if a technique is stole."

"Well our business is done here," Nodoka said. "We should be leaving, you kids are awfully late for School."

"Mom's right we really need to get going," Ranma joined in. He then turned to Kasumi, "I hope this hasn't ruined our friendship Kasumi."

"Of course not Ranma," Kasumi answered smile. "In fact it was my pleasure to help you and you're family out."

"Well I guess I'll see you later then," Ranma said as he and the other teenagers left the property to head for their schools and the women headed to work and back home.

After they left Soun noticed the interaction between Ranma and Kasumi, 'I think the Schools may still be joined!' he thought happily. 'Kasumi will help Ranma and Akane get together!'
