    Summary

    This is the first AU fic that I have ever undertaken. All my other pieces have been set after Volume 38 of the tankoban. This story begins several decades before the Ranma 1 / 2 story as written by Takahashi. It begins with Soun right before the start of World War II. It is very rough on the adults in the Ranma story, but there is yet another twist, Kasumi is not a Christian. She is, therefore, much more than the wallflower/foil that Takahashi designed her to be. Soun and his wife, Akiko in this story, brought their daughters up to believe in the old Shinbutsu-shuugou, which is still the traditional religion of Japan today. This seemingly small difference has an enormous impact on the story of Ranma et al. Also, I must give credit to Susan Doenime, who wrote the laugh-until-you-cannot-breath piece entitled, Pastpresent. This one's for you, Susan.
