Yappa paa, Yappa paa, don't know what to do
My heart is not a game... it's mah-jongg to you.
Yappa paa, Yappa paa, feel like such a shrew
Who needs boys? Don't you dare... make me wild like you!
Before you, boys got on their knees
Ranma, Ranma, It's me you always tease since the day I ran into you...
Ranma, Ranma, you Stole my heart and you––
Don't you dare go and... Make me wild like you.
Somebody tell me why it's so hard to say those three words, "I love you"?
If I let myself give into you I'll become just as wild as you!
Before you come in like a breeze
Won't you stop and ring the bell, please?
Before you make my heart your home
Why not let me love you on my own?
I'd be better off without you...
But just tonight, it's all right...
Until tomorrow, all right.
Every time your eyes turn to me
Ranma, Ranma, you make me feel dizzy.
Someday we may be more than "friends"...
Ranma, Ranma, you've Gone and done it true
Can't you see that you've made me wild like you?
Ranma and the Magical GloveIn the streets that head into Nerima, Japan... Ranma Saotome is trying to get to school with his most likely future wife, Akane Tendo, for several reasons; they believe that they're both almost late, watching out for anymore rivals who want to beat the stuffing out of them, watching out for cold water, and at worse anymore fiancés!
Ranma has had it with any more of them, since he's a martial artist, he can deal with rivals, but when it comes to those who want to win his heart, he doesn't want to deal with it anymore. He's finally decided that he should marry Akane.
Akane eventually grew to like Ranma, but with the constant changes, rivals, and fiancés, she needs to get her and Ranma to elope. But the biggest question for that is where starting to elope to? They could try Jusenkyo, but that would just cause more chaos.
Tatewaki Kuno, the blunt-headed but rich and powerful kendo master, is still smitten by both Akane and Ranma's girl form (a.k.a. "the Pigtailed Girl"). Ryoga Hibiki, the melancholy martial artist with no sense of direction, is currently trying to cope with Akari Unryu, who's planning to move to Nerima. Shampoo, the Chinese Amazon, is still after Ranma. She is trying to get Ranma and Akane to break up since the Dojo Wedding.
Cologne, matriarch to the Chinese Amazon tribe and great-grandmother to Shampoo, is still working at the Cat Café. Mousse, the nearsighted Chinese martial artist whose specialty is hidden weapons, is staying until Shampoo agrees to marry him. Happosai, the perverted lecher midget martial arts master, is on his usual hobby, stealing brassieres and panties. Ukyo Kuonji, the okonomiyaki chef/martial artist, still loves Ranma with all her heart and still working at her restaurant. Konatsu is still working for her, and still loves her.
But the main reason why they're rushing is because it's their very last day of school (never thought Ranma would make it, did you?)! They won't let their chance to graduate pass them by, in an instant they made it before the teacher even arrived! They stayed at school until the graduation ceremony has passed. Every martial artist should be smart, shouldn't they?
Later that night, Ranma found a small wooden box with sealing scrolls upon it, obviously Happosai stolen it from some loser. Ranma removed the scrolls and opened the box to reveal a singular right-head white glove, allover it is a lot of magical symbols from allover the world as well as religious symbols. Finding it too cool to leave it alone, Ranma places it on and goes to bed.
Genma asks his son before Ranma blindly entering Akane's bedroom, "Hey Ranma, what's with the old glove?" Ranma calmly answered, "I've got it out of one of the old letch's stolen things and I thought it would look cool on me." Genma asked him, "Well is it then?" Ranma took a while to find a good answer; he has found one, "Yes."
On the next day...
Kasumi held Ranma's gloved hand, "Oh, how pretty! What is it?"
Ranma shrugged, "I've got it out of one of the old letch's stolen things and I thought it would look cool on me."
Akane teases Ranma, "It's just a fancy glove, that's all. But still, it makes you look better."
Nearby, Genma and Soun were engaged in another round of Shogi. The father to the heir of the School of Anything Goes Martial Arts frowned as he looked at the glove that Ranma's wearing. When he had first laid eyes on it, he had thought about what punishment his master would deal to him.
Ranma doesn't know that he was in possession of one of the most legendary items of all. The glove only LOOKED like a simple piece of white glove with religious and magical symbols and was actually worth far more than mere precious stones. The magic within it would reveal itself when the time came.
Until then, the spell that made it appear worthless but attractive kept on making others believe that it was nothing more than something from Happosai's past thefts or even all the platinum on the face of the Earth.
What could it be? That's for you to find out!
To be continued...
AN: How would you like Ranma to dress up if he became a martial artist and monster hunter? What about the other characters? What new techniques do you advise me to give them?
