Nodoka Saotome sat at the dining room table, tears streaming down her cheeks, she had nearly lost the last few drops of hope she had left, her doctors had all said the same thing, she was not fertile, she couldn't have children. She had even turned to the dark arts to fund someway to give her a child and each one had several prices all different and each time the price would cost her, her family's honour and her soul.

She then remembered something from the books she had read through, it was the only one she had yet to try, she then headed to her bedroom where and headed to her mirror and focused upon it before chanting an ancient language, a dark energy then surrounded the mirror and the image of her faded and was replaced by floating rocks in another realm. A blue demon then appeared before the window to that realm.

"Who dares to disturb Bai Tza the demon of water" roared the water demon.

"Nodoka Saotome dark chi wizard, now tell me do you know of anyway to make me fertile?" Nodoka pleaded.

"No…there are many spells that can make one able to have children non are very appealing though…although I do know of another way to allow you to have child" Bai Tza responded.

"You do…what please tell me what it is" Nodoka pleaded as she fell to her knees.

"I am with child and this is the last place I want him to be born, I can place my child within you and he will be born in your world and you shall be able to raise him until the time I can be released" Bai Tza replied.

"Deal, just tell me the rest of the effects the spell has first" Nodoka responded so desperate for a child and the last thing she wanted was to have Genma beat her again when he got drunk because she couldn't give him an heir.

"he will be born of human form and will have more than average abilities and will have demonic powers deep within him and he will be your child in every way until I'm released and he will become my son again and will even have the ability to take on a demon form and when he becomes of age he will begin to unlock his demonic powers, you shall give birth to him 12 months from today" Bai Tza replied.

"What do you mean when he becomes of age?" Nodoka asked.

"When he reaches the age of sixteen he will be of age" Bai Tza replied.

"Deal" Nodoka responded eagerly.

"Just keep me informed of his development" Bai Tza responded before chanting a spell, dark chi sparked from her as a small embryo surrounded by dark chi and passed through the window to the demon never world and was placed within Nodoka.

Nodoka could barley contain her happiness her smile just grew until it could no longer grow and a few tears of joy fell from her eyes and the window to the demon realm then faded returning the mirror back to it's normal mirror once again. The minute Genma returned from the pub to beat his wife for not been able to give him a heir, she instantly told her husband that she was pregnant and his anger vanished and he celebrated all day and all night.

3 years later…

A two year old Ranma ran about the house laughing and playing, while Genma was speaking to his wife about taking their son on a raining journey "This is what the boy needs, a mother's love will make him sloppy and weak I need to make him stronger so he can become a master of the Saotome Anything Goes School Of Martial Arts" Genma said to his wife, furious by how his son acted running around like a child.

"No you won't take him, you can train him here I don't see the need to drag him all over the world when you can teach him all the techniques here" Nodoka replied.

"No you don't understand if he is to become the best martial artist ever her must face the worst of what mother nature can throw at him and he can't do that here and your love will make him weak" Genma roared at his wife.

"No I can't…not my son…I will not allow you to take him away from" Nodoka roared as tears began to fall down her cheek.

"Listen Nodoka I will make him a man among men and when I return in ten years time our son will brings us great honour and will resurrect our run down dojo" Genma declared proudly, before pulling out a piece of paper "And if I fail me and Ranma will commit seppuku" Genma declared.

This stopped Nodoka in her tracks, she couldn't do anything now without destroying her family's honour which is something she could never do, it would ruin her clan's lives and all their descendants so she had no choice but to concede, that day Genma left to train Ranma.

Nodoka then headed into the yard and approached their koi pond and stared at her reflection, her palms pressed against the ground and sent dark chi into the ground, surrounding the koi pond before causing the image of Bai Tza appeared before her.

"Ah yes mrs Saotome how is my son?" asked the water demon.

"My husband has taken him on a ten year training journey and I am powerless to stop it due to a seppuku pledge I want you to watch over him and protect him as much as you can" Nodoka pleaded, even though she hated the fact Ranma was the son of the water demon, but still she knew that her husband couldn't be trusted with her son and knew Bai Tza was her best and only hope at getting her son back.

"But of course Nodoka I shall watch over him, though you do know my influence over your realm is limited" replied the water demon before fading from view.

America One Year Later…

Genma carried his son on his back, he was heading to a ancient temple in the deep Jungles of Florida where a three year old Ranma would learn to wield a sword (Remember this is Genma).

The Temple…

As Genma approached the temple entrance he noticed an old bald thin man wearing a white Gi, meditating, a samurai sword placed across his knees. "Excuse me but I would like you to teach my son the art of the sword" Genma stated in Japanese, the old man's eyes snapped open and he began to speak in fluent Japanese once he saw the small child on Genma's back.

"Your child is too young to learn" he replied.

"Please you must teach him" Genma begged and continued to beg each time the old man declined, for several hours.

"Fine I will teach him basics with a toy sword if it will shut you up" the old man roared before leading Genma into the temple and fetching a small wooden, toy sword and handed it to the small boy who stood on the wooden floor watching the old man closely, he then began to demonstrate several techniques with the sword, each time Ranma mimicked it perfectly, surprising the old man.

A couple days later…

As Genma wrote to his wife about Ranma's progress Ranma sparred with the older man, each sing a wooden sword used by actual students, the old man then used several techniques against Ranma only to have him block each one like an expert before striking him hard in the gut, the old man stumbled back amazed, neither of them realized that the water demon watched from a hall way mirror, glad to see his demon heritage was beginning to slightly take affect on his mind and allow him to learn several techniques at an expert level.

The old man then approached the father "Sir it appears that there is nothing else I can teach your son, he has learnt and mastered every technique I know" the old man confessed.

"Very well then we shall take our leave, come boy" Genma said as he called for his son.

"Wait, please take this and give it to your son when he reaches a suitable age…show this to any swords master and they shall teach Ranma how to wield the sword at a higher level" Stated the old man, that was when genma stopped thinking about flogging it, knowing that with this sword he'd be able to make his son more manly and add more techniques to the Saotome Anything Goes School.

Over the next five years Ranma learnt from several swords master, under the watchful eye of Bai Tza and learnt several new techniques and even a few languages.

Ranma was currently in China at the age of seven and was been tossed into a pit of starving cats, covered in fish sausage for the thousandths time the cats began to circle Ranma deciding if he was dangerous before attacking him, biting him scratching him, he was completely helpless tied up by the fish sausage, the cats continued to attack as he screamed for help, he then noticed something on the ground in a small pool of red, a pool of his blood a demons face was watching him and crying, she was banging on the underside of the blood pool to no avail, trying to get through to help him, he didn't know how but he could hear the demon, in his mind.

"please help me" Ranma telepathically screamed at the demon, thinking hat if he could hear her in his mind she'd be able to hear him the same way.

"Listen Ranma focus on the darkness within you and you shall survive" the demon screamed and Ranma at the end of his rope with no other choice complied and began to focus on his inner darkness and felt it swell up consuming his mind until he was no longer aware of his actions. His eyes turned full on demon red, his teeth sharpened and became fangs. He then tensed his muscles and broke free of the fish sausage rope and attack the cats, each bit into him and scratched him but by the end all were dead. Ranma then began to calm down and his body returned to normal, he then caught his reflection in his blood that now showed him instead of the demon much to his confusion, then again his blood is different to human blood. He then saw his eyes were now yellow with slit people, he had a black cat like tail and cat like ears, with cat claws made of ki, he then leaped out of the pit and did several flips in the air before landing on his feet. His body then returned to normal as he willed it to do so before falling to the ground exhausted.

A/N Personally I think this is going a little fast so I will try to slow things down, open to any and all suggestions.
