When Nokoda FIRST shows up.

A tall figure fell from the sky. The figure apeared to be a winged angel, untill you note that this person only had one wing. Long flowing platinum hair whipped around in the wind as the black coat billowed out. It came to a stop as it collided with the ground. Managing to land on a lawn instead of a hard roof top or the concrete. A loud groan issued forth disturbing the home's only occupant. A bit of shuffling later the door opened to a very suprised woman,"Sephiroth-sama?"

Sephiroth turned his head slightly, "Did I find my promise land again? Is that you Nokoda-chan?"

Sne knelt bside him, "Yes you have. It took you over sixteen years, but you finally came back to me."

The great anti-hero smiled slightly as he slipped into unconciousness. Nokoda began to drag him into the house. It was a difficult task for her alone since Sephiroth was a tall, muscular man.she had gotten him to the porch when she saw it, his sword embedded in the ground. She ignored it for now. Sephiroth came first.

BAck across town, Genma suddenly fely a great chill crawl up his spine. As if some great evil was going to decend upon him. he looked around him as he shuddered. "Something bad is going to happen,"

Soun looked at him questioningly, "Is it HIM?"

Genma remained quiet for a moment, "I don't know Tendo, I don't know," he said quietly.

Sephiroth slowly opened his eyes to find himself in someone's house. His brain struggled to figure out where he was. his eyes began to close uintil he sprang up, "Nokoda?" He yelled.

"You don't have to be so lound. I am right here,"

He turned quickly, noting how his ribs sceamed at him. Sitting in a simple chair was his only true motive for anything. He wanted power so he could return to her. Now he was back, even though he had lost. He let a small smile grace his face, "So it wasn't a dream, I finally found my way back?"

Nokoda nodded as her eyes watered slightly, "Yes, Took you a while, but you finally came back. seventeen years you were gone. A lot has happened. You want to hear the good news or the bad?"

The warrior blinked as he cradled his side, "Let's start with the bad."

"I'm married now,"

The one winged angel felt his heart sink, "And the good?"

"I'm filing for divorce, and you have a son,"

He blinked hard. He checked his hearing and so on. "Wha? I'm a father? I have a son?"

Sephiroth couldn't believe his ears. He was a father, granted he misses the childhood. His wing twitched slightly as his mid raced. He couldn't think of what to say or do.

Ranma was coming back from a eay day in school. He stopped suddenly as Shampoo came down infront of him. There was a buzzing sound in his ear, like a small bug was flying around in his ear. He shook his head and it faded. He mearly shrugged it off, "Must have been from that last blow to the head. He started to scratch his head again, it had been bugging him all day. He sidestepped the amazon before she could get up and attach herself. I can feel that something big is going to happen. I wonder if it will be Pops fault again...

Sephiroth was now sitting at the table, relaying some of the events that he had lived through over a meal. What little events he could retell without looking like a monster that he portrayed in his persuit of power. Nokoda smiled then looked at the clock, "Sephiroth, I was going to retrieve our son today and drop off those divorce papers. I would feel better if you were there with me,"

The platinum general smiled ass he stood up, "Sounds good to me. But I think a shirt would help. I was normally in a tropical region, untill I wen't to the northern crater,"

Nokoda was moving to the stairs, "Northern crater? you never mentioned that,"

He stopped for a moment, "I don't think I got to that point yet. Were was I?"

She pulled a large black shirt out of a closet, "Some place called Costa Del Sol."

HE nodded as he threw on the shirt. It was small for him, but it worked. He held his ribs as they protested when he moved wrong. He smiled at Nokoda, "I guess I'll skip ahead. I had made my way to the northern pole where the planet had been concentrating it's energy. I was planning on focusing it to finally make a way back here. It was my only driving goal, Getting back to you. I almost did it until I was interrupted by that chocobo headed puppet named Cloud."

Nokoda laughed, "He's a puppet?"

Sephiroth sighed and shook his head, "No, he is a human. It is just that his hair like to defy gravity. I showed you the pictures."

She let out another titter of laughter, "Yes, I remember, but I love teasing you. And your right, he does look like one of those chocobo birds. Lets get a moving shall we?"

Later, at the Tendo Dojo...

There was a knock at the front door. This was startling for some and a relief for Ranma. The others never knocked, they just implode the wall. He stood up, "I'll get it Kasumi," Ranma opened the door to reveal two strangers, "Can I help you?"

The woman smiled, "I'm looking for my son Ranma,"

Ranma blinked twice and slapped him self to make sure he was awake. "Mom? Pops said you were dead!"

Nokoda stumbled back when Ranma latched on. Nokoda was suprised to say the least. "Ranma? What happened to your hair? You never had black hair,"

"Worthless boy, what is keeping you... Nokoda! I can explain!"

Sephiroth stepped forward, "Then explain it to us already,"

Ranma looked at the general, "Who is this mom?"

Genma was backing away slightly while wondering the same thing. He could feel the danger radiating off the large platinum haired man. Those eyes were just unnatural.

"He is Ranma's real father. he finaly returned home after a major ordeal. Genma, why is Ranma's hair black? It is suppose to be like his father's."

Ranma looked at his pigtail, his har is suppose to be silver? He looked to Genma, and then to Sephiroth, "So Genma ain't my dad?"

Nokoda shook her head, "You're father was taken away before you were born. I married Genma because Father owed his family. I'm divorcing that pig of a fool."

Ranma allowed it all to filter into his mind, "I hoped that I was adopted. but this works too. No more insane training. No life threatening stuns. No more having my life, honor, and sanity draged through the mud. No more worries about being sold to feed anyone's gut. Thank the Kami's above and below!"

Sephiroth glared at the fat panda man. "I'd Believe You should fetch your things and say your farewells and such."

Ranma dashed into the house, leaving Genma o the not so tender mercies of the one winged angel and Nokoda.
