Just a little idea I had for while after rereading the Ranma 1/2 chapters... Right now, this is just an introduction! I hope you'll enjoy it.
In Tokyo, Japan, there is a city that goes by the name of Nerima where many unusual happenings occurred every day and night. As much strange they were, local citizens adjusted the happenings as their daily lives, no matter how much they cost to fix the damages, thanks to this particular young man. Ranma Saotome wasn't your average young man: His life was anything but boring as it started with him falling into one of the cursed springs: a spring of the drowned girl, in Jusenkyo within the mountain range in China. After falling, the curse caused Ranma to transform his self into his female counterpart by a simple splash of cold water every time, much to his dismay, but thankfully, the curse can be reverted by using hot water on his self. Followed by his father, Genma Saotome who was kicked by outraged female Ranma into the spring of drowned panda and gained a curse to transform into a panda by a cold water. Since Ranma was a little boy, they had been living in the wildness until Genma and Soun Tendo, an old friend of Genma, made an arranged marriage between Ranma Saotome and Soun's one of daughters: Akane Tendo. With Ranma and Genma living in Tendo dojo, many bizarre things come to the dojo: Cat demons, young women seeking out Ranma, martial artists bent on vengeance, and most of time, it was an elderly and perverted (yet powerful) man.
This story was just one of the wacky adventures for Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo. For it started with a sun rising to bring the start of this adventure…
It was definitely a morning with the sun shining over the Nerima city with few clouds hanging in the orange sky, and within the Tendo dojo, their normal routine has already begun as there was a faint crash in the backyard behind the dojo. Ranma let out an angry yell as he fell into the small pond, resulting a loud gurgling for everyone around the pond to hear, and he popped out as a girl. "You old man!" As Ranma exclaimed angrily, pointing toward the panda who waved the tea kettle full of boiling water mockingly, and spat words out with fire in her eyes, "You're really asking for it!"
Soun Tendo looked on as Ranma leapt out of the pond and lunged for the panda, and happily accepted a tea from a hand of his eldest daughter, Kasumi Tendo. Kasumi also watched the Saotome men bickering and slapping at each other, commenting, "Ah, they're doing their training again, father?" Soun nodded, sipping his tea, and said, "Of course. You know Genma and his way of training…" Nabiki, Soun's second daughter, walked by Kasumi with a toast in her mouth and gave a wave as she said bye, not even bothering to watch Saotome's daily training, and is followed by Akane, the youngest daughter of Soun Tendo. Nabiki paused, taking a toast out of her mouth, and glanced over her shoulder before going out of the front door, saying, "Head up."
Akane gave a questioning stare before a realization sunk in in her mind that Ranma was fighting with his father, and then she bounced to the door quickly just in time as Ranma was tossed to the wall, causing a dent in the wall. Not showing any sign of slowing down, Ranma quickly jumped back to her feet and was about to go after Genma if it wasn't for Akane grabbing on Ranma's arm. "Ranma, will you let it go?" Akane sighed, annoyed about Ranma's stubborn pride, and tugged on arm as she said, "We have to go to school now!" Before Ranma could say or do anything, she suddenly got wet by the wave of boiling water by Genma's kettle, turning her back to a man, and Genma held up a sign that said, 'I win this round.'
Ranma growled, refusing to accept the defeat, and grabbed the sign from Genma's claw, whacking his head with it. 'As if this morning could get even more annoying!', as that thought ran across Ranma's mind, and right after that thought faded away on timing, an obnoxious voice rang through the front: "Lovely Akane Tendo and my beautiful pigtailed girl! It is I, Tatewaki Kuno! I'm here to escort my lovely goddesses to the school." Ranma could only think, popping a vein in annoyance and frustration, 'Dammit.'
Akane questioned quietly with a clear annoyed tone in her voice, also not pleased to hear Kuno at her home's door, "Since when do he escort us to the school?" It was true that Kuno always greeted them at their school. Nevertheless, Ranma has decided to get it over with a simple punch to Kuno's head as always, and they can keep continuing their way to the school. Though, it would be much more smooth if it wasn't for a fact that Nabiki had opened the door, granting Kuno a way into the house. Kuno, already attempting an attack on Ranma with his wooden sword, leapt into the air, and swung his wooden sword toward Ranma. With Ranma already predicted Kuno's attack, he stepped to his right, cuffing Kuno's collar, and slammed Kuno's face into the floor.
"Kuno," Sighed Akane, looking down at Kuno, "What have possessed you to come all way to here?" Kuno, not being affected in any way by Ranma's counterattack, quickly bounced back on his feet, and couched on his knee, taking Akane's hand, and said lovingly, "Akane, dearest…As much I'd love your strength, I was so afraid for you when I think of you walking alone on the street with that monster out there!"
Ranma, becoming more irritated, jumped on Kuno's head, bending head down to meet Kuno's face, and asked coolly, "Monster? What monster?" Kuno swung his sword over his head which Ranma has easily dodged the attack, though he replied, "You see, Ranma Saotome, I just saw that monster, so brutish in his strength as his look! And it's all your fault, Saotome!" Ranma gave a look of disbelief at Kuno, and little worried about this 'monster'. Kuno took this opportunity, as if he was hoping to see his rival shrink in fear, lashing words out, "Yes, Saotome! That man had been asking for your location; You could see his flaming determination in his eyes when he said your name! Are you scared, Saotome-"
Akane had heard enough before she kicked Kuno straight out to the background through the open door, and turned toward Ranma, frowning, "Ranma, do you have any idea who could it be?" People seeking Ranma out was always common much to Akane's fear or annoyance, depending who was it. She know that Ranma always come out fine after fight with the challengers, but Akane always hated that Ranma has become more cocky, or worse, gained one more love interest as she remembered Shampoo, Ukyo, and even Kuno's sadistic little sister! Ranma gave a shrug, putting his hands behind back of his head, and said, "Whoever it is, I'll still win as always! Could be Mousse or Ryoga." Akane was sure it wasn't them: She recalled about this person asking for Ranma's location when Mousse had been here at Tendo Dojo many times, and Ryoga…Well, when he's lucky if he's closer to Tendo Dojo since he's very horrible with the directions.
"Oh, Akane! You must hurry," As Kasumi poked her head out from the doorway of the kitchen. "You four will be late for the school." Ranma let out a questioning mutter when he heard Kasumi's sentence before said, "But Nabiki already left for the school."
"Oh, but there's the person who came with Kuno. The one who've been waiting outside."
Ranma and Akane froze for few seconds before turning their heads to the outside of the dojo, and sure enough, there was a young man standing in front of the dojo as he was staring with intense gaze toward Ranma and Akane. Akane muttered, "Don't tell me…He followed Kuno to here."
The young man, not daring to blink his eyes and have been holding his breath in, kept standing in the spot still like a statue. Akane couldn't help but to walk out of dojo, gaining a closer look on the man, and observed that he was very terrifying-looking with his intense almond-shaped eyes, small black pupils covered in the shadow, under his lightly thick eyebrows. She wondered if he was a fighter as he wore a dark blue t-shirt and jean pants that seems to be lightly tattered, and have few bruises on his arms and a black eye as well. His short hair was in tousled-style, giving him an unruly look. Though, the scaring feature about him was his grim scowl, showing off his gritted teeth and deepening his horrifying expression on his face.
The man quickly snapped, locking his eyes on Akane, and lets go of his breath he was holding in, quietly asking Akane, "Are you Ranma Saotome?" This surprised Akane, and made her thought that this man must never met Ranma before.
"No, I'm not him." Akane's response made the man's scowl become wider as his expression becomes grim, and then he yelled in frustration, "Do you mean I have a wrong house? That this isn't Ranma Saotome's home?" The man then bit his bottom lip and grabbed Akane's shoulders, imploring to her, "Then do you know where can I find him? Please!"
"That's. Far enough." As Ranma brought his feet to the man's head, forcing him to step away from Akane. "You don't need to bully this girl. Just because she got some muscles showing off doesn't mean she's a man." Akane, ticked by Ranma's comment, threw her school-bag at Ranma, shouting, "You jerk!"
"But she looks pretty…"
Caught by surprise, Akane widened her eyes at the stranger while Ranma twitched. The stranger forced to soft his scowl down to a firm line, scratching his cheek lightly, and asked Ranma carefully, "So… Are you actually Ranma Saotome? The famous martial-artist in Nerima city?" Already putting his guard up, Ranma narrowed his eyes toward the stranger and smirked, "That's right. I take it that you're here to fight-" What made him stop finishing his sentence was when the stranger threw his self to the floor, bowing down to Ranma's feet, and made Akane and Ranma a very confused pair as they stared down at the bowed Stranger. Then they actually leapt back out of fear when the stranger looked up with heavy teardrops pouring from his wide eyes. He lets out a choked sob, trying to get the words out of his mouth, "I've been looking all over for you! You don't know how much I'm happy to found you, Ranma! You see-see-see…"
The crying stranger quickly rushed to the Tengo Dojo's mailbox, and next to it, it was a coffee mug full of hot water. Ranma and Akane already caught on as soon they just saw the smokes coming out of the mug, and knew that this stranger was cursed by one of the Jusenkyo springs. They were definitely right as the stranger dumped the hot water over his self, and to their surprise, he turned into an athletic-built girl with a same scary scowl and hairstyle. The girl, still crying out of joy, said, "My name is Jun, and I'm here to ask you for your help, Ranma Saotome! Please, help me to defeat my father!" Akane began to see that they won't go to their morning classes after all.
