More Ranma randomness! Idk WHERE this idea came from, but I like it so I wanna write it ! But I guess it was because I was watching Saiyuki and Ranma ½ at the same time n I got to the part in Saiyuki where the merciful goddess said "aw, but you make such a wonderful daddy!" n I had paused Ranma ½ on Ryoga so I wondered, what kind of dad would Ryoga be.
Yeah its totally weird, but I just HAD to write it LOL!
Disclaimer: Ryoga and everyone else rightfully belongs to Rumiko Takahashi…but cute little Azumi belongs to me XP

"Great Grandmother, what this?" Shampoo questioned from the far corner of the Cat Café attic.
"Hmm? Ah, it seems you've found that mirror" the old Amazon woman said as she hopped over to her granddaughter.
The old woman plucked the pearl-framed mirror from Shampoo and stared at the glass that had her reflection staring back at her. She smiled at her reflection as Shampoo's reflection joined her's in the tiny mirror.
"Why it so special? What it do?" Shampoo questioned curiously as the old woman turned it in her frail, but strong, hands.
"Shampoo, do you remember the mirror that Happosai had that was mine?" she questioned as she absentmindedly traced the familiar pattern on the back.
"Yes, Shampoo remember! That when we go back to Great Grandmother childhood!" Shampoo said in surprise at the memory.
"Yes…that mirror allows you travel back in time…this mirror is that mirror's opposite," she said as she turned the mirror around to stare at the two reflections again.
"It is? What it do though?"
"Unlike the other one, this mirror allows the person holding it to bring something from the future to the present" the old woman said, "but this one is activated, not by a tear of where the person wants to be, but by the touch of what a person wants to see"
In a flash of purple, Shampoo snatched the mirror from the older woman who stared confused at her empty hand.
"Hiya! Shampoo want to see future life with Ranma! Shampoo want to see children Shampoo and Ranma have!" Shampoo yelled out excitedly as her eyes sparkled and her imagination went wild.
"Well then, why don't you, child?" said the old woman with a scratchy chuckle.
"Okay. Shampoo bring right back so Shampoo can show Ranma, too!" Shampoo said before hopping out the small attic window and landing on her bike outside; leaving a trail of smoke in her wake.
The older woman waited for the smoke to clear before chuckling to herself again.
"Oh my…this is should be very interesting," she said before hopping out the window and following her great granddaughter.
"Ranma your dead!"
"What did I do now, Ryoga!" Ranma yelled as he dodged Ryoga's fist and jumped to his left.
"How dare you talk about having kids with Akane while I'm around!" he said as he missed Ranma again and ended up punching the tree behind him; the wood splintering from the impact.
"I told ya, that wasn't me! That was Pop and Mr. Tendo talkin' about that, not me!" Ranma yelled as he stopped running and just barely dodged the shower of punches Ryoga sent at him.
"Don't you dare try to blame it on other people!" Ryoga yelled as he tried to kick Ranma instead, only to have the pigtailed boy jump away and across the yard.
"I'm tellin' ya, it wasn't-"
"Nihao Ranma!" Shampoo yelled excitedly from her bike, which was perched perfectly on the top of Ranma's head.
"I told ya to watch where you're landin' that thing, Shampoo!" Ranma yelled angrily as he took the bike and flung it away; Shampoo jumping off just in time.
"Ranma, Shampoo have something to show you" the Chinese girl said with a smile as she attached herself to Ranma's arm.
"What is it?" Ranma asked wearily since every time Shampoo wanted to show him something, that something was a devious scheme to marry her.
"Ranma sound scared. No fear, Shampoo just want to show this time" she said brightly before rummaging around in her pockets for the mirror.
While Ranma waited patiently, and Ryoga seethed angrily from the abrupt end of their fight, Akane rounded the corner of the dojo to see what was going on.
"Is everything alright? Everything got really quiet all of a sudden" She stated as she walked over towards the small group.
"Akane!" Ryoga's voice shot through two octaves as she walked over to stand right next to him, a red blush covering his cheeks as he fidgeted at her closeness.
"Here it is!" Shampoo cheered before finally revealing the small mirror.
The three turned towards the purple haired girl and then let their attention be drawn towards the mirror.
"It's just a mirror," Akane stated as she raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Not just mirror. Magic mirror that allow person ability to see future" Shampoo said matter of factly before turning to Ranma and smiling brightly at him, "Ranma want to see Shampoo and Ranma kids, yes?"
"I don't buy it…probably just some cheap mirror with a story the old ghoul got ya to believe" Ranma said as he tried to pry Shampoo off his arm before Akane got the wrong idea.
"It doesn't matter, you won't be having kids in the future because you won't live to see it!" Ryoga said before running at Ranma; fist raised and ready to punch him.
Ranma shrieked in surprise before managing to pull himself free from Shampoo's grip just as Ryoga's fist came inches away from his face. This left one thing in the path of his fist; the mirror
Shampoo froze in shock, waiting for the cracking sound of the mirror breaking to echo through her ears.
"Wh-what the…?" Ryoga muttered as his eyes widened.
Shampoo blinked before looking over the top of the mirror. There were no cracks, not shattered pieces, no nothing. The only thing she saw was that from Ryoga's wrist down had disappeared inside the mirror.
"Maybe…it wasn't a joke" Akane stated as she watched Ryoga struggle to pull his hand free.
"I can't get my hand out! It's stuck!" Ryoga panicked as he tugged and pulled at his wrist only to have it be in vain.
"And it'll stay stuck until you grab onto something inside the mirror"
"Huh?" everyone questioned in unison.
"You there, boy, in order to free your hand, you must try and grab something from the other side and bring it here or you'll be stuck between two different time periods" the old woman instructed as Ryoga shook his head vigorously.
Biting his tongue in concentration, Ryoga tried to feel around for something, anything, so he could free his hand. Eventually his fingers brushed something soft, feeling of thick fabric. He dug his fingers into it and turned to the old woman again.
"Okay I got something, now what?"
"Now try and pull it back here"
Ryoga nodded and tried to pull his hand back. Slowly, but surely, he freed himself from the mirror before he was down to his knuckles. With one last tug, he pulled out his hand along with a figure the size of a small person. Quickly stepping back, he managed to catch the small thing in his arms before falling onto the ground with a light thud.
"Hey, Ryoga, you all right?" Ranma questioned as him and the other three gathered around.
"I'm good, but-AH!" Ryoga started, but shouted in surprise before he could finish.
"What? What is it?" Akane asked worriedly as she peered over Ryoga's shoulders.
"L-Look" Ryoga stuttered as he pointed to what was in his lap.
Everyone leaned into look closer to see what he was so freaked out about.
"A doll?" Akane guessed.
"A child" The old woman breathed quietly, but loud enough for everyone to hear.
Everyone looked at her with open-mouthed stares before turning their attention back to the small figure Ryoga was holding.
Nestled comfortably in the crook of Ryoga's arm was a little girl around the age of five or six. She was curled into a small ball, breathing deep, even breaths as she slept soundly; the confusion around her going unnoticed.
"I…I didn't mean to grab her! I thought I was grabbing something like a blanket or a shirt or something! Not a little girl! Her parents are gonna be worried sick about her and it's all my fault!" Ryoga yelled in a panic.
"Who is she?" Akane questioned, but just as she asked it the small girl stirred in Ryoga's lap.
Everyone froze in place as she sat up slightly and yawned; her eyes fluttering open. She blinked a few times before straightening her yellow summer dress. She froze then when she felt the multiple pairs of eyes on her. She looked up at them, staring at each person directly; squinting a little like she was trying to place them. She went down the line from Shampoo to Akane before her eyes landed on Ryoga.
He yelped lightly as she shifted a bit to get a closer look at his face. He waited silently for what felt like ages before her eyes went wide and sparkled to match her growing smile. A small giggle left her lips before she jumped at him and wrapped her arms around his neck; having him shriek in surprise along with everyone else.
"Good morning, daddy!" she yelled out in a high voice.
"What!?" everyone yelled together.
"D-d-d-da-" Ranma stuttered in shock.
"DADDY?!" Ryoga yelled out in confusion.
The little girl pulled back a bit to smile at him again before her face twisted into one of confusion.
"Daddy you look different, and what're you doing home so early? You left just yesterday for the store and mommy said you'd be home sometime next week" she questioned confused.
"Yup, she's definitely talkin' about Ryoga there-oof!" Ranma stated before Akane elbowed him in the gut.
"Not the time, nor the place, Ranma!" she yelled angrily.
"Could someone explain this to me!" Ryoga yelled again as the little girl flung herself at him again and hugged him.
"It's only a guess, but I think I know what's happened here" the old woman said as she watched the young girl nuzzle her head under Ryoga's chin.
"What happened?" Akane questioned as they all turned to the old woman.
"By touching the handle of the mirror, you tell the mirror what you want to see in the future. By touching the glass of the mirror, you pull out what that thing is. My guess is, Shampoo held the handle and wanted to see her future children, but since the boy was the one who touched the mirror he reached into his own future, and not Shampoo's. Thus, the result was a child indeed, but not Shampoo's"
"S-s-s-so you're s-s-s-saying…" Ryoga started as he turned to stone under the young girls grip.
"Yes, that child is your daughter in the far future" the old woman finished for him.
"Oh…okay" Ryoga said with a blank expression…and then fainted.
