Skuld didn’t know what she made, but it looked cool. She was currently showing it to her family to hear their praises. Of course she didn’t think it would explode.

She didn’t think it would cause her sister Belldandy and Keiichi been sent into the system and reborn in the past. All she knew was that she had to find them.

Unfortunately, she didn’t know all what the facts were and how hard it’ll be until a week later. She cried for three weeks after that. The last week of crying caused by Urd’s useless machine punishment.

Ranma woke once again to the fury of his father. The old baka panda still insist on fighting him even though he was greater than him in the aspect of battle and martial arts.

Why couldn’t his father give up. After Ranma tossed his father into the koi pond, he walked in to the house and beheld a sight that he had the honor of looking upon everyday. Kasumi set down the food and looked at him. The mere image of Kasumi brought a smile to his face.

Kasumi smiled at him. Although on one could tell, those two were giving the other a look at was reserved for lovers of the most blessed life.

Of course they themselves yet knew. They just realize they been staring at the other for too long and looked away blushing. A common thing in the Tendo household now days.

Akane didn’t like this although. She expressed her dislike for this by slamming Ranma’s head into the ground with a mallet. If a careful observer was watching Kasumi, the person would have noticed a very concern look upon Kasumi’s face. One that turned to a look of relieve been Ranma stood up and exchanged verbal insults with Akane.

“Finished. I am finally done.” Skuld said as she collapsed. Urd looked over the machine. It looked like a cross from a alarm clock and a computer. She didn’t know how this was going to work.

“Hey brat. How is this going to help us find Belldandy?” Urd asked. She pulled Skuld up to her feet and give her a few small weak slaps to Skuld’s cheek to wake her up.

“What do you want Urd?” Skuld sleepily asked her older sister. Skuld was falling asleep. Urd gave her a gentle slap once again.

“Skuld, I don’t care you haven’t slept in ten days. If you don’t wake up, I make you spend the next few days building thing that only goes in circles.

“That okay. I am awake now.” Skuld stood up straight and ran to the machine and started to the machine. After a few minutes, the machine showed a hologram of the Tendo household, the address, location in Japan of the home.

That night…

“So Urd, you figured out who Belldandy is yet.” Skuld asked. Urd went to scope out the place while she did the calculations for the spell they were going to do.

“Yep. It has to be that girl Kasumi. She is like Belldandy in every way.” Urd said. It was fortunate that Nabiki, Akane, and Nabiki left the house.

“So where is this Kasumi.” Skuld asked. She wanted to know what her sister look like. She could picture her sister new form now.

“I don’t know. I stop watching them a few hours ago. Knowing Bell, she cooking in the kitchen. The two remaining inhabitant are in the room below us. The boy got to be Keiichi.”

Skuld started to draw a magical circle with chalk. Urd stood in the middle of it after she was done.

Remember days of long past…

Give form to the shadow that you once were…

What was forgotten now be known…

And let past become the present.

Urd spun in a magic circle as she chanted the word. And soon the whole house was engulfed in a yellow light.

Belldandy was in the kitchen hold a glass of water. Why she was here, she didn’t know. Bell then noticed that something was cooking. She put down the glass of water and continue her cooking.

Keiichi blinked. He was in a weird room with a panda of all things. He chalked it something that has to do with Urd or Skuld. Maybe it was the panda god of luck.

But why the faded image of a snake was on it.

“Okay brat. You get Belldandy and I’ll pick up Keiichi.” Urd said as she drifted down and slipped into Ranma’s room.

“Keiichi, let get…out…of….” This was terribly wrong, Urd thought. She was frozen. This can’t be right.

“There you are Urd. What’s going on? Hey, why do I sound like a girl?” Keiichi asked not noticing that the body he was in was currently female.

Even if he looked down he won’t noticed because of the spell. The only thing Keiichi noticed was something was wrong with his voice.

Of course Urd could tell. She kept thinking that this was wrong. Keiichi can’t be a girl.

Skuld walked into the house and went to the kitchen. She will finally be reunited with her sister. “Belldandy. Let go home.” Skuld said loudly as she entered the kitchen.

She tripped at what she saw. This can’t be Belldandy. Skuld was currently looking at a boy. A boy who was kind of enough to had offer Kasumi a night off and cook for her.

Skuld was looking at Ranma Saotome. With the addition of having shimmering form of Belldandy encompassing her and goddess tattoos.

“Okay Skuld-chan, after I am done here.” Belldandy said. Bell-Ranma was surprise to see Skuld faint.

“Hey Urd, are you okay.” Kasumi-Keiichi asked. Urd stared blankly. Then she fainted when she realize who Belldandy probably was.
