This idea is in very very VERY raw conceptual development, but I still
thought I could bounce it off you guys to see what you think. Basically, what
i've got so far can be summed up in two sentences:

Rayne Saotome. Illegitimate son of Soun Tendo and Nodoka Saotome.

Think about it. Nodoka would have gotten awwwwwfully lonely with Genma gone
off on a training trip for so long... and Soun would likewise be bereft of
companionship after his wife died... and the Saotome and Tendo families are
VERY close... what if...

Just a crazy little thing I cooked up. I'm thinking of doing something
different with Rayne's first name {making it mean something like 'shame' or
'secret' or something} but you can see the possibilities here.

Boy, would Genma be MAD.

	Yeeee, doggie, would he *ever*! I say, do it--there are so few
origional Ranmafic ideas out there that have not been done before, and
yours sounds truly origional. Have at it, sez I.
