Part 2
"Oh......," Kasumi says, a bit startled by the
child�s reply, "you�re looking for Genma and Ranma
Saotome... little... girl...?"
"Yes, I am!" the kid pouts, "I�ve been looking for
them for so long and for me to loose them now....
after all this time... and I thought I was so
close..... *sniffle* ," the child begins to cry again.
"Please, don�t cry," Kasumi says feeling sorry for
the kid, "I know Mr. Saotome and Ranma, but...."
"You do?!" the kid interrupts, "Oh, please, miss,
could you please tell me where they are?"
"Well.....," Kasumi hesitates.
"Please?!" the child pleads once again.
"May I ask... why are you looking for them?" Kasumi
asks.
"I�m Suiren Saotome," the child replies.
"Suiren.... Saotome....?" Kasumi asks puzzled.
"Yes, I am the daughter of Genma and Nodoka
Saotome...," the kid becomes sad again, "but I�ve
never met my father.... Miss, could you *please* tell
me where they are? I must find them! Please?"
"Well.... you will need a place to stay for the
night....," Kasumi thinks for a minute, "I guess you
could stay at our dojo if you like...."
"Will I get to see my father and brother if I do?"
she asks excitedly.
"Well.... let�s just get you fed and cleaned up,
shall we?" Kasumi invites.
"Okay!" the little girl who looks like a boy trots
off after Kasumi as she leads the way to the dojo,
"Thank you so much Miss...."
"Just call me Kasumi," Kasumi smiles.

"Here are the things you will need for your bath,"
Kasumi hands her a towel and some soap, "If you need
my help just call. The bathroom is just up those
stairs," Kasumi points.
"Thank you so much!" Suiren replies.
Kasumi goes back to her cooking, "Oh dear, I
completely forgot about the groceries!"
"I�m finished!" Suiren calls out a couple of minutes
later, appearing behind Kasumi when she has finished
her bath.
"Oh, my! That certainly was quick! Well, now we can
go t...," Kasumi turns around and drops the pot in her
hands with a loud clang as it hits the ground. The
girl�s appearance has changed. She now has dark-brown
hair tied back in two pigtails and looks like a little
girl. "Wh-wh-who are you?" Kasumi asks in shock.
"Oh, I guess the hot water must have changed me
back...," Suiren replies checking to see if her
pigtails are there, "I didn�t even realize I was a
boy!"
"Hot water.... changed you back? What are you talking
about? Could you possibly mean the Junsenkyo curse?"
Kasumi asks.
"Huh?! How do you know about the curse?" Suiren asks
surprised.
"You�re father and brother,... well, I�ve got to run
to the market. Would you like to come with me? We
could discuss it on the way," Kasumi offers.
"Okay, Miss Kasumi," she replies.

"We�re home!" Ranma calls out as he and Akane enter
the Tendo house, returning from school followed
closely by Nabiki.
"Oh, boy I�m starving!" Akane says as she runs to the
kitchen, "Is dinner ready yet, Ka-su-mi....?" Akane
says, surprised to see the little girl with Kasumi in
the kitchen.
"Oh, welcome home, Akane. This is Suiren. She�s come
to see Ranma and Mr. Saotome," she explains. "Suiren,
this is my youngest sister, Akane."
"Hello, Akane," Suiren turns from the cooking and
politely bows to Akane, "your sister told me a lot
about you."
"Hey, what are you all doing in here?" Ranma asks
entering.
"Ranma? Oh, wow! It�s really you!" Suiren becomes
excited at his appearance. "Oh, big brother! How I
have missed you!" she squeals, running to him,
glomping him.
"You two really do look like brother and sister,"
Kasumi exclaims.
"Big brother.....? What are you talking about?! Who
is this kid?!" Ranma yells caught completely off
guard.
"I�m Suiren! I�m your sister! Oh, Ranma! After all
these years, I finally meet you!"
"I�m not your brother, kid, so get off of me!"
"Oh, yes you are, and you�re also my sister! At least
half, anyway.....," Suiren giggles.
Ranma turns pale.
"Kasumi told me about your curse, Brother Ranma," she
says letting go of Ranma, "In fact, I am a victim of
it as well!"
"Oh, yeah?! Then prove it!"
"Hmph! Fine, have it your way, *sister* Ranma!"
Suiren grabs a bucket, fills it with cold lake water
from outside, and brings it back in a flash, dumping
it on not only Ranma�s head, but her own.
"There! Now do you believe me?!" she, now a he, asks
stubbornly.
"They even look like brother and sister when they�re
like that," Kasumi smiles.
"What is all the commotion in here?" Soun asks as he
and Genma appear at the kitchen door.
Suiren turns around suddenly, "Daddy.....?" she says,
looking right at Genma, "Daddy... is it... is it
really you.....?"
