Chapter 10

A history lesson for ranma.

Ranma smiled as she made her way into the masaki house, “it’s nice to be able to come to 
a nice home”.

Ranma was startled when ryouko came out swinging a bottle of sake with her and was 
smiling widely.

“Hey ranma did you and tenchi have a good sparring match, hey he didn’t beat you to 
badly did he?”

Ranma looked at the somewhat drunk ryouko and smirked “nah I beat him pretty good 
though”.

Ryouko blinked at ranma and laughed “ha you beat tenchi I’ll believe that when I see it, 
you red headed menace”.

Ranma grimaced as she looked up and down ryouko for a moment “how drunk are you 
right now anyway ryouko”.

“Well I can still see straight so I guess that I’m a little tipsy but not quite tanked yet”.
Ryouko grinned at the pig tailed martial artist.


Ranma grimaced again and decided to leave ryouko alone and went off to find sasami.

Ranma found sasami in what she supposed was the kitchen area, she was cooking 
something big and it smelled delicious.

“Hey sasami can I help with whatever you are doing”
Ranma asked cautiously.

“Oh ranma that’s ok you don’t need to help me, besides I’m making a surprise and I don’t 
want you to be here right now”.
Sasami said to ranma as she went about preparing whatever it was she was preparing.

“Oh ok well I guess I’ll go find grandfather Katsuhito then”
Ranma mutters as she walks calmly out of the kitchen.

Sasami smiled at Ranma’s back as she walked away from her.
“See ya ranma well be just fine ok.”

Ranma walking slowly made her way out into the living room and came across someone 
that she hadn’t seen before.

The red haired lady stopped her drinking of tea and looked up as Ranma walked into the 
room.

“Well if it isn’t our new house guest, what’s your name miss?”
The red haired lady said politely.

“Oh my name, well my name is Saotome Ranma and I’m pleased to meet you miss..?”

“You may call me Washu-chan and I’m just the greatest scientific genius in the galaxy.”
Washu-chan said illustriously.

Ranma gaped at her announcement for a moment before smiling at Washu-chan and 
nodded her head in greeting.

Well Washu-chan have you seen grandfather Katsuhito around?

Yes last time I saw him he was heading towards the shrine, and he was carrying the most 
peculiar looking sword I have ever laid my eyes on.

Ranma perked up at the mention of the sheathed sword, (Must be the sword of light.)

Ranma saying her thanks to Washu-chan made her way to the shrine.

***At the shrine***

Katsuhito was sweeping the steps his daily chore, his back turned away from the shrine 
facing down and out of the shrine steps, he was humming a tune as he worked.

He looked up when he heard footsteps making there way up the shrine steps.

“Oh Ranma what a pleasant surprise what brings you too the shrine today.”

“Oh well, you see grandfather I was talking to Washu-chan and she told me you had been 
carrying a sword and I was wondering if it was the sword of light, because I haven’t been 
able to find it since my battle with Ryouko.”

Katsuhito nodded his head slightly inclining it to ranma, “well your assumption is correct 
I was carrying the sword of light out to the shrine if you want it it’s in on the desk, please 
go on in and I will be in to join you shortly.”

Ranma smiled and hopped into the shrine, entering the shrine she looked around there 
were many books and things littering the floor and it looked dusty and musty in the shrine 
but she smiled anyway when she came across the desk and there upon it was the sword of 
light.

Picking it up carefully she took it in one hand and laced it through her sash that was 
wrapped around her waist.

Turning around Ranma watched as Katsuhito made himself comfortable and brought out 
an old worn looking book.

“Ranma will you please listen to a story about your sword”, opening the book he turned 
to the page that had as picture, of a woman with red hair and a man with blonde hair 
holding in his hands the sheathed sword of light.


Curiously Ranma sat down in seiza or on her knees sitting Japanese style.
“How do you know about my family sword?”

Katsuhito smiled at the innocent question and simply shrugged.
“It’s not such a difficult thing to find out the ways of the past.”

Ranma blinked at the answer and shrugged back at Katsuhito
“Oh really then will you tell me what it is?”
