I. AM. SO. SORRY!

I apologized for my delay for the past year now. I know some of you were waiting for SOOO long now and looking forward for a new chapter, but the thing is I haven't start with a new chapter yet.

'Boo' me all you want, I deserve it.

I have several reasons for my delay:

1: I've been busy with either writing my other stories or real life to write a new chapter.

2: Too many distractions. I was so distracted by many things that I couldn't come up with plots.

3: I'm having doubts whether or not I'll make a good chapter the same as the first. Let me remind you that this story is originally Ten Faced Paladin's idea and that I adopted it. With how well he wrote it makes me feel like I can't do the same as him, and seeing how many you people made this story your favorite and following, not to mentioned how many people read it via Traffic Story. So I'm having doubts if I could make a new chapter same as the first and I really don't want to disappoint any of you either if you don't like it.

Not only that, I'm also having a hard time with the plot for chapter 2.

That is, until this one author who once said 'I'll write as I like' and 'if you wanna be fanfic writers, don't let what others say discourage you', so that's what I'm gonna do; I'll write as I like and I'll take on the credits if people don't like it. Feel free to review anytime.

But I promise I shall update as soon as possible, even if I have to rewatch the whole season 1. And as a token of my apologies here are the scenes for the chapter 2 and possibly other chapters.

Curious as to why his cousin using basics and even shout the same name Ranma ask. "Hey Hakufu, what's with all the 'basics'?"

"Oh, well I meet this guy yesterday and he use basics to fight other fighters!" Hakufu said. "And he even shout BASICS when he fights!" She given a kick when she mention basics.

Yesterday when Hakufu left home to go on a trip to heal a broken heart she has. While on her journey she meet with a girl who saved her from two guys who were trying to have their way on Hakufu, while walking and talking to her she saw a fight which consist one guy, one Kakoton Genjou, against a number circled at him. Kakoton was using basics to fight off the other fighters and even shouting basics, and even lecture them for not using basics in street fight. Interesting Hakufu decided to watch and she was impress by Kakoton's battle skills. When one of the fighters got hold of his leg another fighter fighter pulls out a knife was about to stab him until Hakufu saved him. Then the two of them starts fighting off the fighters. After the fight, all the fighters ran off and Kakoton starts explain to Hakufu that all the streets are the fighters' sacred place, he then starts repairing the damage they cause. After hearing the sirens kakoton decided to finish it later until the two of them giving their names, even giving his jacket to Hakufu after her front rip open. That time has really made Hakufu really good and even forget her worries.

"He use basics to fight?" Kokin was confused as to why would a fighter use basics to fight.

Ranma shrugged his shoulders. "Well, if it is his style then I won't disagree with it." Ranma had meet and fought a number of people with their own fighting styles back in Nerima.

"By the way, I also want to talk to you about something else." Gakushu said.

Noticed the seriousness in his tone Kokin ask. "What is it?"

"It's about the new Fighter that arrived in Kanto." Gakushu took a bite of his parfait.

'New Fighter? Is he talking about Ranma?' Kokin thought feared for his cousin.

"I heard that he fought some of our guys to save you and even fought Ryomou." Gakushu said. He had heard from Saji of what happen with the execution of Hakufu Sonsaku, apparently some new Fighter arrived and stops the Imperial Order, even defeated Ryomou, one of the Big Four. "So do you know that new Fighter?"

Kokin nodded. "Yes. He's a relative of mine, his name is Ranma Saotome."

"Ranma Saotome, huh? Never thought you have other relative besides Sonsaku." Gakushu said a little surprised to know that his fellow Fighter has another cousin who's a Fighter as well. "Can you tell me more about him? I heard that he fought Ryomou and won, if that's the truth then he must be one hell of a good Fighter."

Kokin signed, he knew that this might happen sooner or later, when a Fighter made a name of himself all Fighters are keeping an eye on those kind of Fighters. Ever since Ranma came and told he fought the Top Fighters like Taishiji and Kanu he knew that he may get involved in this.

"Well, you wouldn't believed me when I say he fought some of the Top Fighters." Kokin said.

Gakushu's eyes widened in shock. "He fought some of the Top Fighters?! Who?"

Kokin's prepared for this as he said. "Taishiji and Kanu Unchou."

Gakushu choked on the banana he's eating before swallow it. "Taishiji from Youshu and Kanu Unchou from Seito?!"

"Yeah, I thought he only said that to scare Saji but he was serious, what got me surprised is that he fought them both in the same day and still alive." Kokin said. He still couldn't believed that he's relative manage to fight two of the Top Fighters both in the same day, while with Taishiji it was a friendly fight so he couldn't have much damages, Kanu on the other hand they went all out with each other's and end it with a draw.

"Wait. He fought both Top Fighters in the same day and still alive?" Gakushu was awestruck to learn that he's cousin fought two of the Top Fighters in the region.

"Well, according to him he fought Taishiji in a friendly fight and won, but on the other hand, with Kanu, they went all out and ended a draw since they hit each other hard." Kokin explained.

"You know this psycho-guy?" Ranma asked as the orange hoodie guy he just kicked stands up.

"That's Kannei Kouha and he's one the Big Four of Nanyo!" Kokin warned.

Kannei glanced at Hakufu with a maniac face. "Hakufu Sonsaku,"

"What? What's that? Why do you always call me by my full name?" Hakufu asked not liking how Kannei talk to her.

Kannei then glance at Ranma with the same face which make the pigtailed martial artist grimaced. Ranma had meet a few crazy people back home but seeing the expression on Kannei's face it's even crazier, no, psycho is the right word to describe, even if Kuno, his sister and father are crazy even they don't have a maniac face.

Kannei then turns to the unconscious Gakushu before he approach and grabs the collar of his shirt. "Gakushu... why didn't you allow me to fight in the tournament? He he he he!" He raise one of his tonfas readied to hit the unconscious muscular Fighter.

"Hey!" Kannei turns to see Hakufu. "I'm the one you want, right?" She tries to save Gakushu as much as she can but unfortunately Kannei ignores her.

POW!

All of a sudden Kannei's face was kick by Ranma's foot sending him away from Gakushu. Kannei struggles before he stands up, blood coming out of his nose from the kick he received but that didn't stop him with his maniac face.

"You...!" Kannei glanced at Ranma before he raise his tonfas. "I'll kill you!"

"Heh! You're not the first person who said that." Ranma proclaim before putting his guard on. Many people he knew have said the same thing over and over again back in Nerima.

"We need to get him away from Gakushu." Kokin said.

"Okay. Leave it to me!" Hakufu proclaimed.

"Hey! Hey! Come get me" Declared Hakufu as she slaps her butt to provoke, although the position she is shows a lot of her panty.

"Why can't she act little more serious..." Kokin signed.

"Well it seems to work, though..." Ranma said while looking away.

True to be told Hakufu's idea work as Kannei turns his attention to her. "I'll kill you!" He gave chase as Hakufu ran.

"Come and get me!" She exclaimed.

"Well, we're here." Goei said as she, her daughter and two nephews have arrived their destination. Hakufu and Kokin fall to ground and laying it in exhausting while Ranma seem to be in great shape.

"I didn't see any mountain path... Where was the mountain path?" Hakufu complained her mother said that there was a mountain path but unfortunately there wasn't, so they walk longer than ever.

"I almost die when I fell down that cliff." Kokin exclaimed, he actually did almost die if it weren't for Ranma to grasp his wrist.

Ranma, for his part, he seems to be fine after going through the pathway. He has training and experiences to go through any obstacles so it was easy for him. Unfortunately for Hakufu and Kokin, they lack of training and experiences as a result exhaustion, Hakufu may have improved but seems like he had to give her more training. Though he wonder how his aunt managed to stay in shape after going through, perhaps she was a fighter in her youth, he might ask that some other time.

"Pull yourself together, you two." Goei addressing to the two lazy buns on the ground. "This is a secret hot spring where Fighters come to heal their wounds."

"Fighters?" Kokin asked.

Ranma raise an eyebrow, a hot spring that can heal wounds of the Fighters. The spring must be magic or something, better than the springs that gave him a curse.

"And... Its effects of moisturizing and softening the skin is most likely the best in the world." Goei proclaimed earning the looks from the three teens.

"I was planning to come here before, but I never found the chance. So, let's go." Goei exclaimed.

"So that was what you were after..." Hakufu muttered.

"Aunt Goei..." Kokin said.

Ranma chuckle a little, if there's one thing that his cousin Hakufu inherited from his mother is the easygoing nature.

And that's that. Sorry if it wasn't so much, lack of motivation. But, I'm still determined to write it even if it means it'll take me more time. And like what I said earlier 'I'll write as I like' and 'if you wanna be fanfic writers, don't let what others say discourage you', I'll try my hardest best!
