Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma 1/2 Or Kenichi History's Strongest Disciple

AN: This is my first fic so I'm trying to do something that I never really see. Right now we're gonna start at the start of the changes that starts it all. This is an AU world where the Story of Ranma and Kenichi have been mixed together completely. So ki does exist and the masters know all about it and magic and curses are totally real just rare. Gonna go with Mousse as the main guy cause Royozanpaku needs to have a weapons guy in my mind or else poor Shigure has no one to tortu- I mean teach. I didn't want to go OC because this way I can expand the world and I get even more characters to play around with.

China: Byankala Mountains

["Stupid Mu-Tsu! I'll NEVER Date YOU!"]

A sharp crack and thud rang out through the cold day in Joketsuzoku village. Young child barely age of eight merely lay collapsed against the tree with a fully formed migraine from another braining to his thick skull. His head covered in medium length straight black hair which pooled behind him as he laid on the ground face-up. His pale face framed by giant Coke-bottle sized glasses overtaking his small face. His white robe smeared with dirt from his Three Hundred and Fifty second defeat but seriously who's counting not him. His hand shot out from his black cuffs grabbing the nearby tree for stability and to pull him up to his full height of 4'5" an average height for his age. Mu-Tsu cursed his current ability to defeat and woo the lovely Shampoo oh how he loved he beautiful blue hair as he watched her leave in a huff.

Even strategy and planning wouldn't help him create a way to defeat Shampoo in all his years of training Shampoo has always been ahead of him. His mastery of the Hidden Weapons technique had afforded him no practical way to defeat Shampoo short of killing her but that's kind of counter to the point of his love for here. 'Ugh' Mu-Tsu lamented as he actually looked at forest floor, 'All these weapons completely wasted. I'm gonna have to re-forge at least half of these.' He paused and took in a deep breath observed the rest of the village boundaries. The forest trees reaching high up into the sky as well as being thick enough to be a maze of epic proportions. The dirt roads free of any debris revealed the way back to the village of stone and wood houses that were surprisingly modern for the amount of machinery they had here in the middle of the mountains. His keen senses hinted at a presence and he merely gazed to the left to see who it was.

["Ah. Elder Cologne-"], he began as a woman of incredibly small stature and face that clearly showed her old age with a hairband that help her long white hair behind her, came hopping on a staff taller than she was. His first instinct was to bow and show his respect but he was halted by an outstretched hand.

["It's nice to see you Mu-Tsu. I came cause I heard the familiar sound of a thick-headed youngster being taught a lesson but I see from that spark in your eye it hasn't taken."], she smiled as she spoke with mirth as she examined the boy's injuries, ["Well looks like you weren't hurt too bad at least."]

Mu-Tsu straightened himself slowly and spoke with frustration, ["I can't ever seem to surpass her, I can't even keep up sometimes!"]

Cologne looked at the small child before her as he tried to keep himself together in the face of his many losses. 'Looks like the adrenaline's wearing off' she thought before she began to deliberate, ["Young man you can't expect to be the best in one day. Even your father had some rough points in his training."]

["My father wasn't self-taught."], Mu-Tsu spoke while looking away.

["Well yes but you have your mother and she knows enough."], Cologne quickly spoke having the decency to look at least a bit shameful for speaking of old wounds.

["You know she doesn't."], he bit back quickly.

Cologne gathered up herself and swiftly countered, ["Regardless the other Amazons have been assisting with your training."]

["My build doesn't suit pure strength fighting."], Mu-Tsu whined unashamedly.

["Mu-Tsu!"] Cologne spoke sternly. She was truly losing her patience with this boy's insistent complaints. They were never this uppity in her time. She looked straight at him and calmly asked, ["What is it that you want."]

Mu-Tsu looked like he wanted to speak but kept his mouth shut. His eyes spoke of internal conflict as he worked through his childishness. She could see as he closed his eyes behind his giant glasses. She always felt guilt over being unable to get a proper optometrist to build custom and more comfortable one for the boy. His inner battle stopped as his heart answered for him, ["I want a proper sensei like you."]

["Oh. And have you earned it like the other Amazons I've taught."], she teased him. Cologne in all her old age and wisdom just knew something like this would come up, so she had prepared for this.

["Well, no-"], he tried to defend.

Her smirk surfaced as she brought up her other point, ["And are you saying I should just help you beat up my young great granddaughter."]

["No I would never-"], Mu-Tsu attempted to explain as he fumbled his words.

She finished with a measured question, ["Then want is it Mu-Tsu."]

Mu-Tsu conveyed with clarity, ["I want to be strong."]

She merely sighed as she looked at boy so filled with conviction and hope. She couldn't say no and she knew that no one in the village could really help him so she thought to herself for an idea. The finally she looked at the young boy and tried an old teaching those always seemed to help, ["Then find you own way. This isn't the whole world Mu-Tsu. There are plenty of places in all of China that can help you get stronger."] She then turned and started to hop away before she spoke on last time, ["You just have to find it"]

Mu-Tsu gazed as she left him with nothing but his thoughts. Her words resonated with him as he saw that if he truly wanted to be loved by Shampoo he would need strength that the village can't seem to lend him. The sky was overcast as he look up and the cold sky and decided that he would begin today on his mission to find his own way. He stared into the forest and remembered the ancient legends people spoke of and thought to have a small adventure on this day. 'Maybe I should see if I can find this Jusenkyo place mom has told all those ghost stories about.' Mu-Tsu thought to himself as he left the comfort of Joketsuzoku proper.
