                             for a new day



Ranma Saotome stared at the house that he hardly even knew.  He had
only been five when his father had taken him from that very home.
Genma Saotome would never see it again. ‘No I can’t start thinking
about it again. I don’t need this not now.’ Ranma thought to himself
as he stared at the house.  From were he was at it seemed to him that
the house was in good repair .  Though he couldn’t see most of it
because of the wall that surrounded it.

  He stood there a few more minuets just looking at the house trying
to figure out what he was to do.  He had spent most of the trip here
with those thoughts on his mind but was unable to come up with a
solution.  Now he was even at more a loss as what to do.  ‘May as well
get this over with.’ Ranma thought as he approached the front gate.
He pause at the gate thinking about just turning and leaving this
problem behind.  His father hadn’t taught him to deal with this kind
of thing. Yet he didn’t want to be like his father and run away from
every problem. ‘This is something I have to do’ he thought as he
opened and entered the gate.

  Upon entering ho stopped and slowly looked around the yard.  There
was a koi pond that was partially blocked from view by the house, a
nicely arranged rock garden was displayed for all to see upon entering
the gate.  The grass and shrubs all cut and trimmed with meticulous
care.  I all radiated a sense of peace and calm that he had not
experienced for quite some time.  He was so absorbed in his viewing of
the yard that he missed the person that exited the house.
"Can I help you?" asked a female’s voice

"Yes, I’m looking for Nodoka Saotome, does she live here?" Asked Ranma
hopefully

"Yes, I am Nodoka Saotome. How may I help you?" asked Nodoka

Mom was all that Ranma said before running up and hugging his mother
trying to hold in his sobs.
