Member of the Internet Link Exchange Ki: You're Soun, am I right? Soun: Yes, that's my name. Soun Tendo. Who are you? Ki: People call me Ki. I was wondering if I could have a word with you. Soun: Hmm.. That shouldn't be a problem, I'm not too busy. Ki: Good. Tell me about the Saotomes, would you? Soun: The Saotomes eh? Let me think a moment. Well, I met Genma some years ago. We trained together through much of our youth. Though our real bonding experience was under the tyranny of Master Happosai, who is the founder of and trained us in the Anything Goes School. After disposing of him, temporarily unfortunately, Genma and I made a pact to marry our children to secure the school. Ki: I see, so you trained together under Happosai, is it? Soun seemed to get a little edgy when I mentioned the name Soun:(whispering now) Yes, we trained under the Master, but please, let's not dwell on that. He could overhear us. Ki: He's here? In the dojo? What's wrong with overhearing us? Soun: (glancing around) Yes, he's returned and is here to train Ranma as his heir to the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts. Apparently you weren't warned when you got here, young lady, but the Master has a bit of a problem. Someone as good looking as you should have been told. Who let you in? Ki: Young lady?! Wait just a second, there! Oh nevermind.. Ranma let me in. Soun: (nodding) That isn't surprising. He's nothing but trouble, I must say. Not that I really mind him being here, but all he's done is brought chaos and the damages to the dojo have been unbelievable. Ki: I can understand that. I heard he and Akane don't get along too well. Soun It's not really those two who are the problem. It's his other fiances that tear up the place. If they'd let them be alone, then Genma and I could get Akane and Ranma together. Ki: OTHER FIANCES?! How many does he have? Soun Ki, was it? How long have you been here? Surely you aren't blind! Ranma's engaged to every destructive girl in Nerima, not to mention some others. Ki: Hey, I just got here. Soun: Yes. Well, I blame it mostly on Genma's parenting. He seems to have instilled such lose morals on Ranma. I don't know what he's been teaching that boy, but when they came back from China nothing was as painful as Shampoo. Ki: Shampoo? What brand? Soun: (laughing suddenly, but then stops dead) It's not a laughing matter. She's working at a local restoraunt, the Cat Cafe. Ki: Oh? It's a girl? I suppose I'll have to drop in and say hi. Soun: Because Ranma has defeated her in battle he is duty-bound to wed her, though there was a point in time when we were skeptical about his relationship with her in China. That was settled over time, though. It has become clear that Ranma doesn't have much intrest in her, either. Though Shampoo's great-grandmother tries very hard to get them together. Ki: Maybe I should pack up and go home. I think I'm terribly confused. Soun: As are we all at times, miss. Ranma has had that effect on many. Ki: Look, sir, I'm not a girl... oh forget it. Look, Mr. Tendo, I'm going to try to sort things out elsewhere. I'll stop back if I get any more questions from fans, ok? I can't really deal with all of this right now. Soun: That sounds fair enough. (he began whistling to himself and sweeping again) If you have any questions you would like to ask Soun, write them in below, and come back again later to see if Ki asks Your question! |
