Prologue
Unknown Location (Third Person POV)
Birds chirping as they flying in sky
Few of them chirp while laying on tree
The scenery around the place is very peaceful
Even it was in deep forest but it not look scary as the forest is clear and the sun shine and bask the tree with it light
A single figure walking while humming, carrying a basket. It walk around and stare to the tree
"Another peaceful day!"
The voice of the figure clearly reveal it was female, children even. The little girl have red hair and blue eyes, she clearly is japanese woman. She wore simple green t-shirt and blue long pants
As the girl start to pick the fruit from the tree and put it to her basket suddenly her eyes caught some strange movement on the bird
Blinked, curiosity fell to her mind and she stop picking the food then follow the direction where the birds flying
She keep walking for almost 15 minutes. She brush pass few bush as the direction lead to few that block her path. When she brush the last one her eyes widened at what she saw
It was a human... Boy precisely... He look older than her, two or three years perhaps. He had silver short hair, wearing plain white t-shirt and blue short pant. He lay unconscious while there few wild animals that surround him
'A boy?' She blinked. She immediately become concern and approach the boy, the animals around him flee seeing this. She kneel, put the basket to the grass beside her and quickly began to check the boy condition
She sighed in relieve when found he breathing with normal. She began to check is there any wound on him and find there none
Slowly, she began to shake his body "Umm... Hello..." She said unsure what she should call him.
The boy give no response but the girl not give up. She shake him slowly again and sure, the boy let out groan
The girl see the boy eyes flutter open, and she granted by view of bright blue eyes that almost exactly like hers
The boy seeing the girl blinked once before he slowly. Push himself to sit, holding his head
"Are you okay?" The girl asked in concern
The boy not response to the girl question as if he seems in deep thought which is true. He close his eyes tightly once before slowly open it again
'What hit me?' He thought with confused
"Umm... Hello, are you okay?" She called once again
The boy blinked before he turn to the girl, staring up down and observe her figure "I'm... Fine..." The boy blinked again after speak, there something strange. He quickly see his hand and... "What the hell?!" He blurted with wide eyes
His hands... It so... It so tiny... It so little... It... It...
It so wrong!
He quickly pat himself, his face and body. He look down and notice his body also small. So small...
He snap his head to the girl with amazing speed and demanded "Do you have mirror?! Or something that can show reflection!"
The girl blinked before slowly shook her head "Umm. No, I'm not.."
The boy appear to let out curse under his breath, he take deep breath before close his eyes again. He seems silence for moment make the girl confused
'What the hell? What going on? The last thing I see is that damned car... Then everything is blur...'
A man walking on the street, he appear to be tired and exhausted. From his appearance it can be concluded he just went home from his work place
He then stare at the lamp street that glowing in green light indicating he can cross the road so he did
As he walk and reach the end of road, the traffic lamp start to blinked, indicating it almost turn to red. He see a ball suddenly rolling passing him, he ignore it since he too tired
But when a child ran pass through him, that caught his attention. He immediately turn around and see the lamp is green and the ball in middle of road
The child already on the road to get the ball
He spun around and kick the ground. He can hear people screaming, no doubt they also seeing the child.
The man eyes filled with horror, he not gonna make it. The child already too far! He can't reach him!
He can actually... But there payment...
However, the risk right now not crossed to his mind. So he did it... He jump as far as he can, as strong as he can
He manage...
He reach the boy... He reach his collar shirt. And with fast and all strength he can, he pull the boy and throw him away.
He don't know but he can tell the boy is save... His body land in ground with loud thud.
At that moment realization hit him like a brick wall...
He fall to the ground...
And in front of him, a car speed with fast. The car horn let out howl of warning, tell him to move away
But it far too late... It maybe still not had he stand... But he not... He only manage to fix into kneel position
The result is clear...
With loud bang, the car crashed to the poor man. The poor man immediately slammed to the front iron, his body float with fast speed and land roughly to the ground
At that moment the man body filled with pain. He can feel all his bones almost crushed, he can hear few people screamed, calling him. Few even already hold his body
"Plea...! C... A...lance!"
"O... ... God!"
"H... Him!"
But the man know well his condition already done... He dying... He can tell he become weaker... Everything is dark... And everything is hazy...
He going to die...
Then all his life flashed to his mind... He was able to remember when he graduated from high school with his friends, he remember when he played with some cadaver, when he was still in college, he remember when he laughed, when he was sad...
Everything...
And he realize that his life actually dull... It was boring... There nothing exciting... He only spend his time to study and nothing interesting happen...
So he mutter one thing before he died in his mind
"If can... I wish to live in interesting place..."
This boy is strange...
That was what she think...
When he awake, he speak like normal but then suddenly he switch into panic mode. He stare at his own hand then began to pat his body as if try to confirm something
Then after that he ask some mirror...
What kind of request is that?
The boy had been silence almost for 5 minutes...
She actually feel uncomfortable with the situation. Who not? If you on her position you will feel same
She about to speak again, however this time the boy speak first
"This is not Heaven or Hell, isn't it?"
The girl blinked at the sudden strange question. She found herself let out giggle despite the situation
"No. We still in living World..." She said with giggle
The boy put thoughtful face, he place his hand under his chin. She stare at the boy with smile on her face, her grandfather always taught her to polite even if it was stranger
"Where are we now? Be specific, nation, city, region, coordinate, and-" The boy paused in middle of his rant when she give him strange look. He then also put strange face before palm his face
She found herself giggle again. This boy is funny
"Sorry, umm I mean do you know where are we now?" He asked and there light blush on his face
"We in forest near Ainokura village..." She answered
"Ainokura... Sounds like Japan name..." The boy muttered again
"Are you okay?" She asked "You act pretty strange before..."
"I'm fine... Just had headache... By the way ummm... What your name? Mine Kiyan..." He introduce himself
Kiyan? That strange name, she never heard name like that before
"I'm Atsuko. Nice to meet you..." Atsuko replied with smile "You sure you okay?" She asked again while tilt her head cutely
"Yes! I'm fine..." Kiyan stated "Umm, you going to village right? Can I follow you?" He asked politely
"Sure! But I need to gather fruits for Ji-chan first." Atsuko responded
"Oh, ok. Let me help you then, we can go to village together after that..."
Sometime later
Kiyan walk behind the red haired girl that found him, basket on his hands as he carry it to help the little girl
He actually still digest what happen to him until now...
It was obvious, his dead wish had been granted seeing he now live and kicking despite back to become child again
Normally, in his previous life if someone told him he reincarnated from their previous life he will laugh at the man. That was strange and ridiculous beyond any measure!
But now... He can't laugh seeing it was him who experience it...
Despite the incredible thing happen to him he manage to accept it very well. He after all not stupid enough to think he were in dream now or something like that
He already wish for new live. So he will enjoy it, why not? Maybe this one will be interesting
He was 27 years old young man trapped in... Maybe 6 or 7 years old body. He have so much knowledges and he can't help but it will be fun when he see everyone expression when they see a 7 years old boy able to perform surgery and possess knowledge in medical aspect
Yeah... It will be fun!
He already have one interesting list. Now where he going to stay? Will he stay at this Ainokura village? Or will he gone to Tokyo?
He had no doubt now he in japan, the name of the village clearly one and he also spoke japanese for some reason.
It was very strange... He seems able to speak japanese like it was second language to him
He actually able to speak chinese and english but never japanese. So when he found himself able, he was very surprise.
"There the village..."
Kiyan bend his head and see there sign for the village as soon he hear Atsuko speak. They keep walk and when the pass the entrance, Kiyan can't help but put astonishment face
The village... It was really village!
It was... It was so traditional! The house style, the land structure, the scenery! Everything! It like village from very long time!
He not throwed to the past very far until reach 1910, wasn't he? If yes then it will be very interesting but at the same time very dangerous seeing that was the years of World War!
"Come on. Ji-chan house not far from entrance actually!" Atsuko call him again, broking Kiyan from his mind
"Okay..." Kiyan responded as he walk follow the girl. This girl... She actually familiar... Kiyan didn't know but it seems he ever seen her face somewhere
Shrugging, he decide to think about it later
"So why you sleep in forest, Kiyan?"
"It complicated... You won't believe me.." Kiyan replied simply. That was the most thing he able to say. He already try his best to avoid making conversation with her seeing it will be awkward
He still can't find good reason if someone ask him since what happen to him is impossible thing. The fact he actually and absolutely had no idea where is he and the condition of this place is also one factor that very important
If adult ask him... He will try his best to make lie...
The girl give little pout "You had been silence ever since we walk. Are you ill or something?" She asked
"I'm fine. I just don't talk much, sorry..." Kiyan answered in apologetic manner
"Its okay! Come on! We already near!"
The red haired girl fastened her steps and Kiyan follow her. They soon arrive in another traditional house. He see Atsuko open the door and yell "I'm home!" Before turn to him "Come on..." She called
Kiyan give nod as he also enter the house with the girl. They then enter to living room and Kiyan see there man sit while drinking tea
The man is old, Kiyan noted he probably already 70 border to 80. However despite his old age, instead bald or short hair. The man have long white hair that reach his shoulder followed by beard that reach below his neck. The beard actually make Kiyan think of a frozen waterfall. He wear simple green gi with black hakama.
The man who seeing them come give them soft smile in greeting manner
"Oh! Atsuko-chan! You home! What wrong? Normally you not take this long!" He asked before glanced to Kiyan "And who this new friend of yours?"
"Ji-chan! Sorry late, when I gather forest I meet Kiyan here who sleep in forest. I thought he injured so I decide to check him and fortunately he fine!" Atsuko spoke cheerfully
"Nice to meet you, sir..." Kiyan bowed in respect manner as he recall his knowledge about japan. Bowing is good greeting for them
"Hello little one, my name Hideyoshi Akamatsu. And it nice to meet you too." Hideyoshi greet the boy back "Care to tell why you sleep in forest?"
"I'm traveler with my uncle... I don't know what happen. Last night we travel together and sleep in camp as usual but... But this morning... I awake in middle of forest..." Kiyan try his best to put troubled and sad expression in here, this is the best thing he can come now
The old man narrowed his eyes while Atsuko stare at Kiyan with curious look. Hideyoshi turn to Atsuko "Atsuko-chan, perhaps you can go and clean yourself first. Jiji and Kiyan-kun want to speak privately.." He said
"But I want to hear too!" Atsuko pouted when got ordered like that
"I will tell you later, okay? Now please..." Hideyoshi pleaded with begging look
"Fine!" Atsuko huffed her cheeks. She then turn to Kiyan and flash him smile before turn and leave
When Atsuko leave, Hideyoshi turn to Kiyan and make gesture with his hand "Please sit, Kiyan-kun but can you close the door first?"
"Yes." Kiyan nodded as he go to the door and slide it close. He walk to the opposite side of table and sit
Hideyoshi didn't speak as Kiyan sit in front of him. His eyes observe the man up down for moment "Your uncle... Does he kind to you?" He asked
"N-No... He always cold and act strange... I travel with him for a month after my parent leave... My uncle said they leave and won't return for long time..." Kiyan answered again
"I see..." Hideyoshi said as he give pity look to Kiyan "Do you have plan after this?"
"N-No. I don't. I never had home..."
"Then you can stay here with us..."
At the blunt offer Kiyan found his eyes widened in shock. Even his face display surprise
"Y-You want me to stay with you? Just like that?! I just come here! How could you believe me?! What if I'm some thief who want to stole your goods!" Kiyan stammered in shock
"Are you?" Hideyoshi asked with furrowed eyebrow
"Of course no!" Kiyan denied
"Then I see no reason why I shouldn't let you stay. Am I suppose to let abandoned child alone? Live in park and feed himself?" Hideyoshi pressed with stern gaze make Kiyan hold the urge to flinch
If he put it that way...
"Unless, you not as vulnerable as you claim..." Hideyoshi added skeptically
This time Kiyan did flinch visibly
"I... I..." Kiyan swallowed. Inwardly he curse himself! For children, he act too much like adult! Hideyoshi must be very suspicious on him now!
"You not telling the truth, I can see that. Care to tell me boy? What reason you lie to me?" Hideyoshi asked with narrowed eyes
...
...
...
...
Hideyoshi got him in checkmate...
Taking deep breath, Kiyan let out heavy sigh slowly. He steel himself "You won't believe me..."
"Try me young child..." Hideyoshi challenged with smirk
"No. You don't understand, my story craziness level is more than max! Even I won't believe it had I not experience it!" Kiyan lamented while rubbing his temple
"I had see many impossible thing, boy. I had meet the fox spirit, I had meet with people who had children with animal, I had see someone turned to something when splashed by water..." Hideyoshi listed with smirk as he see Kiyan disbelief look
Fox spirit? People who had children with animal? People change when got splashed by water?
Kiyan is not believer in supernatural... Well he believe actually since he was religious one in previous life. But fox spirit? Ghost, or something like that? He never see them
But that not what disturb Kiyan... It was the last two statement
Somehow Kiyan feel familiar to those two information... He pretty damn sure he had heard it but where?!
He can think about that later. Right now he had to explain to this man, if all the claim this old man said is true then. He willing to give a shot
"Alright then... Well... It was start when I work in hospital..."
As Kiyan began to tell his story. Hideyoshi find himself listening with calm look. He not show any sign of surprise neither he show any sign to interfere his story. He just listen it like parent hearing their children rant
By the end of story Hideyoshi rub his beard, his face is thoughtful and he let out humm while staring at Kiyan
"I do believe in your story..." Hideyoshi claimed
"You do?" Kiyan asked with wide eyes, shocked hearing Hideyoshi answer
"Yes. You too smart for... How old are you? 6 border to 7? Yeah. You too smart for your age, and I didn't see you seems nervous or show any sign to lying. And you also act like adult rather than child, however..." Hideyoshi paused and take breath "The biggest reason I believe is because I ever heard some artifact that able to cause something similar like your case..."
"An artifact? You mean there tool to send me back to my real World?" Kiyan asked, and once again shock filled his voice
"Maybe... I forgot what is it since it was old one. It some kind of mirror if my guess is correct..." Hideyoshi told the man trapped in boy body "But do you want to go back?"
"Of course no..." Kiyan answered immediately "I already dead in my original World. If I appear in there with this body, there will be chaos. And I also sure whoever responsible for placing me in this World or timeline won't be happy..."
"Hn! Very true..." Hideyoshi responded with smirk before he take breath "So, what your plan?"
"I already said. I don't have one..." Kiyan sighed "I'm new in here, I don't even know what age is this or which region am I in this nation..." He told the old man
"Well, if you want the offer still stand..." Hideyoshi reminded the boy
"You still want to adopt me even after know my full story?" Kiyan said in astonished tone
"Even if you adult in mind but that still not change you currently now is a boy. A helpless boy, what make you think you will survive out there?" Hideyoshi pointed make Kiyan blanched "But the real reason is because I want you company Atsuko-chan..."
"What's wrong with her?" Kiyan asked
"She actually not my granddaughter. Like you, I adopt her. I originally was traveler. Their parent is attacked by wild bear, when I meet them. That time, Atsuko mother in middle of labor in middle of forest, very bad luck I must say." Hideyoshi paused and take drink his tea before continue "I dispose the bear but the damage already done... Her father already dying, though her mother able to give birth to Atsuko but she lost too much blood. After that they ask me to take care of her and here she now..."
"That was very sad..." Kiyan muttered. Atsuko's parent really have bad luck seeing their condition like that "But what it connection with adopting me?" He asked
"Atsuko... Is also too mature for someone at her age... True she can be quite child but it just sometime. I make mistake in raising her. I not treat her like how child suppose to be..." Hideyoshi said with solemn tone "It because there only two of us, and I, myself never raise a child. It also because if Atsuko act like children too much she won't be able to take care of herself when I'm gone..." He explained
Kiyan nodded in understanding manner. Hideyoshi is old, so his mistake is acceptable "But why you not give her to someone else? Surely it will be more proper if you do that..."
"I already swear on my honor that I will take care of her. I won't lay her to another hands, she my responsibility. The moment I took her from her parent, I become her new parent..." Hideyoshi stated with stern tone
Kiyan stare at Hideyoshi for moment, studying his posture before speak "Let me guess. You want me to always stay and play with her so she can enjoy her childhood at least right?"
"Pretty much..." Hideyoshi admitted "Originally I only want you to play with her, but seeing you are adult in child body. Maybe you can give her knowledge about school and everything else..."
"Well... What you said is very tempting and I do love to if I can. However I have no intention to spend a years in here..." Kiyan stated and its true. He don't want to stay in this place longer than one year, he want to leave and find out more about this World after all
Hideyoshi who hearing that put thoughtful face. What Kiyan said is logical, if he were on his position he will do same
Suddenly idea appear on his mind and his eyes widened slightly before smirk appear on his face
"How about I teach you Martial Arts?" Hideyoshi offered
"While it sound tempting but sorry, I'm not interested..." Kiyan declined, he actually fan of martial arts but he don't want to spend years just for doing that
"You sure?" Hideyoshi asked "You can do something like this..." The old man extend one hand, then slowly a blue aura appear on his palm and it morphed into blue sphere
Kiyan eyes wide open along with his jaw as soon he see the phenomenon that happen in front of him. What the heck he see now?! He rub his eyes and see the sphere still in there. Carefully, he push one hand and try to touch the sphere
As soon he touch it, he could feel... Energy! He can feel that something inside him just refreshed!
Shock turned to awe as he staring at Hideyoshi who grinning to him
"What in name of Hippocrates is that?!" He muttered in awe tone
"That's, my boy. Its a Ki... Energy that flowed in all living being, including Human..." Hideyoshi answered "If you really expert in martial arts, you will able to use this..."
Kiyan only stare at Hideyoshi with wide eyes. For moment he silence and didn't let out any voice before his face morphed to serious
"When do we start, Sensei?"
Hello! Hello! Everyone! Writer with bad grammar here!
Yeah! Another new fanfic, and it was self insert!
I notice OC or SI in Ranma ½ is very little. So I decide to make one
For you all who worry about my other fanfic fear not, I still going to update them. I maybe going to focus into this for three or four chapter but after that I will update the other
Especially Savior of Grail, that was on the heat of battle xD
And before you all ask, yes! Atsuko appearance is exactly look same with Ranma cursed form. So you can say there will be problem when they meet later!
This is 12 years before Cannon began! And yes! My OC age is 18, older than Ranma and his friends. However since my OC is boy, it won't be problem to the pairing
Ah yes! Pairing! It was another problem
Originally I plan to give him Kasumi. However I can't decided either it was Kasumi, Atsuko, Kurumi, Rouge or Shampoo
Yes! You got that right, Shampoo!
The reason why I pick her not Ukyo or else is because Shampoo existence very affect Ranma. From Phoenix Pil and into learning Hiryū Shoten Ha
Had Ranma never get Kiss of Marriage from Shampoo, there will be so many thing that change and I really look forward to writing that
As for Kiyan Martial Arts, oh don't worry I already had plan for him! He will be quite strong because let admit it, he come from real World. He knew many trick from all anime he watch
He won't be Gray Stu, he won't be unbeatable. There few times he will lose of course! He also won't grow strong as fast as Ranma and the other
He will beat them with little problem first and second or third possibly. But it because he knew their tricks and knew their abilities. And in time they will soon catch up with him while he growth quite slow
Oh yeah! Almost forgot!
Could anyone, pleaseeee! Tell me what age Ranma cannon start? And how advanced their technology actually?
I really appreciate it if you want to answer that one :D
