************** Digger ½ **************

A child around the age of five was finger painting along some paper as he hummed a song in his head. A shadow loomed over him as he nervously looked over his shoulder. "Hey son, would you like to join your pops on a training trip? Do you wanna be the best?" The child smiled mischievously and shook his head "No thanks poppa, I like being with momma." The 'father' snarled angrily as he picked up the kid and tried to run out the door, only to be stopped by 'momma'. "Genma, what do you think your doing with Ranma?" Genma shook with fear and mumbled incoherently "N-nothing N-Nodoka." She narrowed her eyes at him and slowly unsheathed her katana, making Genma sweat. "Fine, you win. Coddle the boy and let him be weak!" He dropped Ranma to the ground and stormed out of the house, and forever out of their life. Nodoka spent most of the night crying as Ranma just stared on impassively not understand what happened.

------- Ten Years in the future --------

Ranma woke up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He looked around before looking outside and noticed it was still dark out. "What the heck, why is it so dark out" He glanced over to the small electronic clock and his eyes bugged out 'three thirty in the morning!' he screamed at the injustice of it all. He rolled over in his futon and accidentally struck something with his balled fist of sleepiness. He blinked and looked at the figure for a moment and smiled, as he remembered the night before.

********

Ranma was at a end of middle school party as he walked around the room, smiling at the people and meeting the ones he didn't know. His eyes rested upon a woman that stood out among the rest. She casually brushed off every guy that asked her to dance and physically hit the ones who tried to make a move on her. He smiled genuinely and walked over to her slowly. When he got there he looked at her and blinked, noticing why she looked so different. Her hair had spots of black in the complex pattern of blonde, and her eyes had a somewhat slit of cat in them. She looked at him and narrowed her eyes "What are you looking at, *Boy*" Ranma was snapped out of his revelry as he smiled at her, startling her a bit. "Hi, my name's Ranma. What's yours?" He tilted his head slightly, making the girl blush as she found him cute "I'm Cyan" Ranma grinned and bowed before her, slightly. "Nice to meet you Cyan. You don't strike me as the girl who would come here to find a date." She blushed slightly, having him hit the nail on the head "Well, my friend dragged me here from Jade" She covered her mouth quickly at the slip "Jade huh, where's that at?" She looked around quickly, trying to find her friend, but not seeing her at all. "Well, uh... that is.... in another country" Ranma smiled and nodded "That very well could be, I don't know much about the world outside of Japan" She sighed in relief and smiled again "What about you, your rather different from the guys here." Ranma smiled sheepishly and put his hand behind his head, laughing nervously "Much like yourself, I was dragged here by a friend. She wanted me to meet her friend. However I haven't seen her since we walked in the door." Cyan nodded sympathetically. "I know how that is Ranma. Trust me, I know how that is." They laughed and shared some stories as they enjoyed each others company. Ranma seemed to find himself at ease around Cyan, and smiled often at her stories. Cyan herself was becoming more and more relaxed around Ranma, and soon finding herself liking him.

The night went on, as people who could, walked out of the party, and those who couldn't. Well they passed out and stayed the night. Ranma and Cyan were looking at some of the couples as they made out, and blushed crept to their cheeks. Ranma nodded to Cyan and took her hand "Do you mind if we go for a walk? I don't feel comfortable here anymore" Cyan looked around and noticed the sex levels rise as people were leaving. "Sure, I see what you mean" She giggled and Ranma blushed slightly 'she has a cute giggle'

********

Ranma looked at Cyan's sleeping face with an unreadable look, then his lips went from a thin line into a tight smile. 'She is absolutely beautiful' He looked at her some more, and blinked as the sun pierced the room. Cyan's eyes fluttered open as the sun filled the room. "Mmmm, good morning Ranma-kun" Ranma smiled and pulled the covers over her naked top "Morning Cyan-Chan." She swatted at him playfully and shared a laugh. There was a knocking at the door, just before it opened revealing Nodoka. "Ranma-kun, could you......" She saw the woman in bed with him and blinked slightly "Oh my son is so manly!" She gathered the two in a hug, making both blush as they lacked clothes. "Moooom" Ranma pouted as Cyan giggled to herself "Why Ranma-kun, how come you didn't introduce me to your beautiful girlfriend?" Ranma blushed some more, and Cyan joined him "Good morning Ms. Saotome. My name is Cyan" She nodded to herself and gave Cyan a look over before hugging her again "Welcome Cyan darling. Give me a couple minutes and breakfast will be ready. Why don't you two take a bath in the furo" Ranma nodded absently as she excused herself from the room, only looking back to grin at Ranma. Cyan giggled as she looked at Ranma's now bright red face and kissed him gently "We going to take a bath Ranma-kun?" Ranma broke out of his state and looked at her "Sure, do you have anything else you can wear afterwards?" Cyan blushed as she realized she didn't bring anything and shook her head 'no'. Ranma smiled to himself and excused himself "Wait a second Cyan. I will ask my mother if she has anything." Cyan nodded and looked at Ranma's backside as he got dressed and left the room 'He has a nice butt' She told herself as she recalled last night, pulling her legs up to her chest and smiling "He's a good guy" She said to no one. When Ranma returned, he saw nothing, no Cyan, no clothes and nothing but a letter and a picture to remind him.

Dear Ranma-kun,

I'm sorry to have to leave like this Darling. But I need to get back to Jade as soon as possible. I will return when I can, so please. Wait for me.

Love, Cyan

Ranma brought the note down and sighed to himself before looking at the picture and a blush adorning his face. In the picture was Cyan bent over staring into the camera, her dress fluttering in the wind and winking at the camera. Ranma sighed happily and wandered back to the night before, until his mother called him. "Ranma, come on down. Breakfast is ready." Ranma didn't want to see her face when he had to tell her that Cyan wasn't here. He sighed again and jumped down the stairs two at a time before coming to a stop in the living room. He sat at his seat and propped his chin in his palm, gaining a far away look. Nodoka came in with a smile on her face and plates of food in her arms. She sat one in front of Ranma and looked around before asking "Where is Cyan-Chan, Ranma?" Ranma sighed and looked at her, his eyes filled with water, but not tears. Never tears, he told himself. "She had to go back to Jade mother. She had an important meeting she had be at." Nodoka nodded to herself and thought to herself 'So Cyan know of Jade. Quite interesting.' Ranma looked at his mother before shoveling the food around his plate with disinterest. "You loved her didn't you Ranma?" Ranma looked up with surprise "Love her? We just met last night. I-I'm not sure how I feel about her." Nodoka smiled and nodded slightly "That my son, is your first love. Your missing her right now, so you are completely confused" Ranma just shrugged before looking at the food, that didn't seem to change. Nodoka stared at him for a moment before sighing herself 'You better come back soon, Cyan'

------- A Year later -------

Ranma walked through the high school gates and stared at all the commotion that was going on. A single girl seemed to have taken out a whole slew of boys, that challenged her. When he just shrugged it off and continued on his way toward the entrance, the girl noticed him. "I suppose your here to fight me too huh?" Ranma looked at her and blinked. "Huh?" Was the only thing that came out of his mouth before she attacked him. (1) With a quick kick to the head Ranma's body was sent flying, his head skidding across the ground slightly as his body slammed into a tree. He coughed up some blood and looked up, his eyes unfocused, and filled with confusion. "Baka Hentai!" She growled and kicked him in the face again, sending him into a most welcomed unconsciousness. Nabiki, who had watched the whole thing, thought that the way Akane dispatched of the new one, was too violent. She sighed at her sisters tendencies and told one of her 'groupies' "Go get the school nurse, help him there." With a nod, two girls ran off toward the nurses station. Nabiki stared on impassively and looked at the boy. 'He would be kinda cute, if only he could defend himself' She was about to walk away when she noticed a shape land beside the new comer. She watched with interest as the girl carefully bandaged his wounds. She picked him up and disappeared from site without a trace. 'Hmmm, this bears looking into' and she sat at her desk, awaiting the end of school with an impatient look.

-------- Jade Realm -------

Ranma was unconscious as he was being taken care of by a 'healer'. He heard voices, albeit muffled, through the haze. "What do you mean, he'll be fine! He was beaten viciously!" a girls voice said. He remembered it from somewhere, but he couldn't place it at the moment. "I said, he'll be fine. This boy was blessed with an abnormal healing rate" She pointed out one of the cuts along Ranma's face that was rapidly diminishing. "Still" The girls voice seemed to pout, that earned a chuckle from the other. Ranma groaned as he opened his eyes, and the sun piercing through his eyes. He moaned in protest of the sudden light before he snapped up "Where's that macho tomboy!" He looked around and at the two girls that were now blinking at him "huh?" Was all the 'healer' said. Ranma blinked and tried to take in his surroundings. "Nothing, I must have been dreaming" Before he said anything else, he was hugged onto by the cute girl. "I'm so glad your ok Ranma!" He looked at her for a moment and tried his best to remember where he knew her from, but he couldn't "Excuse me, but do I know you?" Cyan looked at herself and blushed, of course he didn't know of her were blood. She transformed into her human state, which looked weird with the overly large clothes sagging about. His eyes widened, not at the transformation, but at the girl he loved once again in his life. He quickly gathered her in a hug and kissed her, refusing to let go. The healer coughed into her hand and smiled as the two blushed. "Well, There will be plenty of time for making up (or out) later on, but for now, I think we should let the young one here recover." Ranma smiled to the lady and bowed "Thank you for taking care of me" He looked up at the lady who giggled to herself, and looked to Cyan who was trying to hide a snicker and a blush. "What?" Cyan modestly pointed down to his waist, as he jumped back under the blankets that covered him. The two women broke out in laughter, much to the displeasure of one pig tailed martial artist. Ranma looked at the two as they curbed their snickering and Cyan finally got her blush under control.

"I've missed you so much Ranma" Cyan sat next to Ranma on the bed, and held him in a tight hug. The healer took the silent proposal and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her. "Ranma, I have something important to tell you." Ranma looked at her, and she saw the seriousness in his eyes. She cleared her throat gently before looking at her hands. Ranma, quick to notice her discomfort, took her hand into his own and smiled at her "It's okay Cyan, you can tell me anything." She smiled a little, but still continued on a bit nervous. "Ranma, have you ever thought about kids?" Ranma blinked at her and then stuttered a bit "O-of course Cyan. W-why?" Cyan became even more nervous at the response and quickly said "Well,whenwehadsexwhenwefirstmet,Igotpregnantandyouhaveadaughter." Ranma looked at her with total confusion in his eyes. "huh?" she sighed and repeated what she said "Well, when we had sex when we first met, I got pregnant and you have a daughter" Ranma stared at her incredulously and then smiled "Cyan, that's great!" Cyan looked at him like he had grown a second head "What?" Ranma grinned and hugged her tightly, sharing his love by kissing her soon after. "If I was going to have a kid, I would prefer it to be with the woman I love" Cyan blushed, hard, and Ranma kissed her again. "Ranma, that's not all though" Ranma looked at her in confusion "what else is there?" She smiled sheepishly "Well, when I was getting ready to return to Japan, there was an accident." Her eyes welled up with tears as she started to cry "and I..." Ranma took her in an embrace and shushed her, trying to calm her down. "It's ok Cyan, you can tell me." She looked at Ranma and sobbed "Ranma, our daughter, I can't find her!" Ranma looked at Cyan, stunned, and he too started to feel a sharp pain in his heart. "Well, we can find her, can't we?" Cyan sobbed heavily into Ranma's chest.

The healer over heard the whole thing and thought to herself 'I wonder if Dr. Diggers could help them out' she nodded to herself and walked into the room, with the sobbing individuals, clearing her throat. "I don't know if it will help you and Cyan, Ranma. Dr. Theodore Diggers is in town and he is a great aura mage. Maybe he can help you locate her?" Before she even finished saying the last sentence there were two blurs moving toward the door. Ranma and Cyan traveled for hours on end, searching Seer's Hamlet edge to edge. They later return to the healers hut when their search comes up null. When they walk in the door, they hear voices coming from inside and look around. Cyan walks forward "Nali, you here?" A withering woman walks out from the kitchen "Ah yes, Cyan. Welcome back. I would like to introduce you to my friend. Dr Theodore Diggers." Cyan stares at Nali for a moment until a tall white man walks in front the kitchen and stands beside her "Good evening Cyan. Nali tells me that your daughter is missing." Cyan nods silently, tears starting to well up in her eyes again. Ranma comes up behind her and puts his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. Dr. Diggers smiles and nods "I can be of some service, but I would like you to return with me to the earth realm. I work better there, when I'm surrounded by familiar items." Ranma just nods and Cyan glances over her shoulder at him "Are you sure Ranma?" He looks at her and once their eyes locked, they understood each other. They both wanted their daughter back, and nothing would stop them. Theodore for his part, did not miss the exchange of thoughts and smiled as he looked at the loving couple. He cleared his throat and the two looked at them, with a blush on their faces. "As I was saying, the sooner we leave, the sooner I can activate the temporal portal and we can be on our way." Ranma nodded as did Cyan, as they followed Theodore outside of the hut. He said a few words that Ranma didn't understand, and a blue oval of energy appeared before them, swirling in a counter clockwise fashion. Theodore motioned for them to enter, and they did. Ranma doesn't like that, the feeling that his body is being fragmented into pieces and placed back in time where they left. Cyan just shrugged it off and looked at her surroundings. "Wow, this looks like my earth" Theodore laughed "This is your earth Ranma. Only we're in Atlanta Georgia." He smiled at his shocked look and headed toward the front door to his home. Ranma and Cyan followed him closely, almost afraid of getting parted. Cyan gripped onto Ranma's arm and he smiled at her reassuringly. Theodore walked in through the front door and was instantly bombarded by three blonde haired women flying at high speeds "Gina!!!" The tallest one screamed "How dare you eat the last can of tuna!" The smaller one with a black streak across her eye yelled. "It wasn't me!" She screamed as she ran for her life from the hungry were cheetahs. Their chasing came to a slower decent as they finally realized that their 'daddy' was home, and he had guests with him. Britanny came up to the group and smiled, putting her hand behind her head and laughing nervously "HI! Welcome home daddy!" Theodore chuckled at the response that Ranma and Cyan showed. Namely, they fainted.

Authors Notes :

For this Fanfic, time will flow differently in Jade than in Earth. Keep that in mind. Since Theo is a MAGE, then I'm making him able to alter the time flow.

1) Remember, Ranma didn't go on the training trip. So he doesn't have a lot of Martial arts experience.

Also, I must give credit where credit is due. I got the Idea after reading RedPriest17's Daddy's Little Girl. Quite a rocky start, but it's a good fic so far.
