Series points:
Buffy: The Dream world were Buffy died for a short time and became a Vampire. That's right folks. . . NO FAITH!
Ranma: About a month after Saffron. Yes I know Ranma is incredibly powerful at this time but it's a good place of deviation.
----------
-Death-
Buffy closed her eyes as the life left her body to be filled with the flow of power that the evil brought her. The Powers That Be felt the sudden loss of connection to their champion and as it was written eons ago their powers spread out looking for one born to hold that which they had to offer.
The energy searched the world in mere seconds to find the next more perfect vessel. At first they thought they found the one they wanted, a girl who had experienced a hard life and would do well as a loner. She was one they passed up on before and now would be her time.
As The Powers That Be were about to infuse the girl with their gift when they felt a sudden flash of power nearly half a world away. It was a familiar essence, one they hadn't felt in tens of centuries by the mortal count. It was the essence of a girl who was to have been given the gift but had died in a very tragic way before they could come to her. They had felt her essence a few times in the years since but it was never at a time when they could offer her the birthright she was due. Now was the time.

-Rebirth-
"RANMA!" Akane screamed as she ran into the livingroom and threw her textbook at the offending teenage boy who leapt out the door into the backyard.
"What did I do this TIME!?!" Ranma yelled back as he landed and caught the book.
"YOU IDIOT! You were supposed to have met me at the school after my rehearsal!" Akane responded as she started to attack the pigtailed boy in anger.
Ranma started weaving and dodging every attack with ease as he smiled at the girl, "I told you I ain't goin' near that school unless I havta. And I have no reason ta go see your rehearsals."
"IDIOT! I wanted to show you the dress I'm going to be wearing in the play!" Akane kept up her attack giving no ground even though it was getting her nowhere. "You know I can't bring it home yet!"
"Why would I wanta see a dress?" Ranma responded as he stuck out his tongue at her. "I mean it'll be such a waste being worn be such a tomboy!"
"RANMA! You be nicer to your fiancé!" Nodoka called out from her place at the table she was having tea with Kasumi.
"But Mom!" Ranma turned to face the house for a moment unhappily, unfortunately this gave Akane her one and only chance.
Striking out low with her foot, Akane caught Ranma off balance and then came up and pushed with all her might. Ranma had caught himself enough to counter most of the push and instead of face planting with the wall he ended up over the pond. With a splash he, now a she sat up in the water.
"Whatcha do that f. . . .Aaaaughhguuhhgaahghh," Ranma-chan started to shout back then she was engulfed in a field of electricity causing her to spasm violently.
"Ranma!" Akane screamed in panic as she ran to the edge of the koi pond reaching out but not daring to touch the red haired girl for fear of the shock spreading.
Nabiki stuck her head out of the window as her computer started to go wonky looking for what could be causing it only to see Nodoka and Kasumi run up besides her little sister and look in horror at the wildly thrashing girl in the koi pond. It took her a moment to realize it was Ranma in his girl form but when she did she ran down to the phone to make a few calls knowing her family wouldn't think of it until it was too late.
After what seemed like an eternity to her but was only a matter of seconds, Ranma-chan finally collapsed face down into the pond water as the surge stopped flowing trough her form. She did hear Akane's calls of panic or when she was picked up from the water, nor did she feel anything again for a long time.
"It'll be okay, Slayer," was all she heard from somewhere deep within herself and it caused her to relax despite herself.
----------
-Life-
"Is he going to be alright?" a voice she could barely remember asked out in the darkness.
"She's had a very bad shock to her nervous system," another older and more confident voice replied. "We still don't know what caused it, but it seems to have done little to no damage to her physically. . . Mentally we'll find out when and if she wakes up."
"My Son as been in this state for four days now Doctor, shouldn't he have woken up by now?" one more voice asked, this on she knew as her mind started to uncloud and she found herself starting to think.
"Your. . .Son? is in a coma caused by an accident of the unexplained. We have no idea how to bring HER out of it or how long it'll last."
"I. . . I think I'm awake," Ranma-chan chocked out as she started to open her eyes then flinched at the brightness of the room.
"Ranma!" was the next thing she heard as she was suddenly engulfed be a pair of strong but thin arms that seemed to want to squeeze the remaining life out of her.
"A. .Akane, I'm. . okay. . .need. . . ta breathe."
Akane released the red head and looked away embarrassed, "Sorry. . ."
"It's. . . okay, I'm happy ta be here too," Ranma-chan replied as she worked out the kinks in her neck. The noticed the fact that she was still a she in a blue paper hospital gown.
"Why am I still a girl?" She asked in annoyance to her Mother who was on the verge of crying.
"We tried to change you back, but the Doctors here kept stopping us," Akane replied when she noticed the Aunty Nodoka wasn't able to respond.
"These. . . people kept trying to pour hot water on you as you slept," The Doctor stated looking the two woman beside him in disdain. "I was considering calling for a psych test for both of them since they seem to believe that you would turn into a boy with the water."
"Could I have some hot water?" Ranma-chan asked calmly not bothering comment on the Doctor's statement as to her Mother's or Akane's sanity. "I'd like some tea ta get this horrible taste out of my mouth."
The Doctor called out for some tea then started an examination of his charge while they waited for a Nurse to bring in the cup. Taking the hot water Ranma-chan motioned the Doctor away from herself for a moment then dumped the contents over her head triggering the change.
Everyone watched as the girl became a boy, then a girl, then a boy, then a girl again and finally ending as a boy. Ranma was panting from an effort he'd never experienced before in the change. . . it was almost as if the curse didn't want to leave his body.
The Doctor looked on in wide-eyed shock as Nodoka gave him a smug look, "Who's crazy now?"
"Ranma?. . . Are you okay?" Akane asked in true concern as she came up to the bed and gave him a good look. His hair still seemed to have a touch of red in it, only a few strands but it was still there.
"Somethin's wrong with the curse," Ranma replied giving Akane a look of panic.
----------
-Knowledge-
"I don't know what's wrong with your curse Son-in-law," Cologne stated as she looked up from her readings. "What you described hasn't happened to any other victim with out outside intervention, and I haven't seen or felt anything like that in the area since the problems with Herb."
"I didn't think you could help on this one, I hoped but I knew better," Ranma said sadly then remembered something he felt might be important.
"Um, what do you know about something called a Slayer?" he asked as he looked up only to see Cologne's eyes go wide. "What? Is this Slayer thing important?"
"How do you know about that?" Cologne asked still shocked by the boy.
"When I started to blackout something inside my mind told me everything was going ta be okay, and it called me 'Slayer'," Ranma replied giving the old woman a harder look. "Does it have something to do with me killing Saffron? I mean he's alive after all but something like that is. . ."
"The Slayer has nothing to do with Saffron, at least not directly," Cologne waved off his concern as she turned very serious. "If you have been chosen it could explain why your curse is. . . changing."
"What is a Slayer!?!" Ranma asked his patience finally gone.
Cologne sighed as hopped over to a bookcase in the corner of the workroom she kept at the Nekohanten and pulled out a very old looking western style book. Hopping back over to the table she opened it to about midway and sat down next to it.
"This book is an account of our village's three known chosen ones, the west calls them Slayers. The world has great evil invading it from all sides trying to control or destroy the people. There has always been people who would fight back, from the beginning of mankind and there will until mankind either loses completely or has destroyed all evil. But normal people are no match for the greater evils that come to this realm and the Powers That Be decided that a champion was needed to fight and lead us against those who try to destroy us."
"What about all the Chi and Ki stuff you, me and the others can do? I know we ain't like normal people, shouldn't we be enough to face these evils?" Ranma asked confused. "Why would we need a single champion?"
"The techniques we use and the level of power we have attained were developed many many years after this original time. They were developed this the same reason as why the Slayer was created," Cologne explained calmly. "But the Slayer is still more important to the continuing existence of our kind. Now listen up and I'll explain."
"It is written that in each generation a Slayer will be born. Only after that one's death will another be made," Cologne read from the book then looked up and gave an evil smile. "You have to love the ambiguity of lines like that. The truth is that in a generation several potential Slayers are born, when one dies another is gifted with the power of the Slayer. This so that there is always an active Slayer."
"So I was born with the potential of becoming a Slayer? Is that why I'm so good at the Art?"
Cologne tried desperately not to laugh out loud as she explained, "No Son-in-law, I doubt you were born with the potential. Your talents, amazing as they are, are yours and yours alone."
"What? How could you know that?" Ranma looked on in confusion. He was happy to know his skills were his own and not some high ordained deities idea of a mission.
"Because Son-in-law, all the Slayers ever born have been female," Cologne replied with a smirk.
"WHAT!?!" Ranma stood up in shock. "How could a girl be the champion of the human race!?!"
Cologne bopped the boy on the head then continued when he finally sat down rubbing his hair, "The Slayer is a vessel for the power of those beyond us. Their choosing a 'Girl' to be the champion is their purgative and not ours, but they did and it only passes to another 'Girl'. Usually one in her early to mid teens."
"But I'm a GUY!" Ranma shouted out and received another bop on the head.
"Who changes into a teenage girl," Cologne pointed out smirking again. "The Powers That Be have been know to have a sense of humour."
"And this 'gift' is what's messin' up my curse?"
"Yes."
"Then I don't want it! They can have it back!" Ranma yelled angrily as he looked to the heavens.
"That won't happen Son-in-law, the only way the power passes is upon your death," Cologne stated calmly. "Until then you will just have to suffer with the gifts it grants you."
"What gifts?" Ranma looked confused again.
"The Slayer is given greater strength, faster reflexes. She is harder to hurt, and heals from wounds faster than others. She has an talent for learning how to fight and finds the fight more enjoyable than most people."
"Sounds familiar," Ranma stated giving the old ghoul a raised eyebrow and a smirk.
"Yes, it does," Cologne replied rolling her eyes up. "I know you already seem to posses these same abilities, but yours were built from years of training and focussing you Ki, these are given."
"So the girl who becomes the Slayer is a suddenly a martial master? That's kinda cheap," Ranma replied still unhappy. "It's like cheating, but I guess it's the only way a girl could be as strong as guy. . .OW! Whatcha do that one for!?!"
Cologne lowered her staff again and looked to the heavens, "You had best be laughing."
"Listen Son-in-law, these powers will probably enhance your already impressive abilities, but the fact that no Jusenkyo victim, let alone a male, has ever been chosen before means that there is no telling what consequences this will have on you," Cologne explained to the boy. "You find that you will be unable to change back to a boy soon."
"NO WAY! I'm a GUY and I won't be stuck as a GIRL!" Ranma stood in defiance again and this time dodged the staff before it struck. "There has to be a solution. A cure!"
"I know of none," Cologne replied as she closed the book and looked at the cover for a moment and the symbol that was etched on it's leather. "But others may of more help."
Turning towards the boy again she gave a unhappy smile, "Ranma, there will be someone coming to meet you soon, I give it only a couple of days at most. They will represent a group that normally trains the Slayer for her coming battles with the forces of evil. If they come I want you to contact me immediately please."
Ranma looked down at the Amazon Elder a little shocked, she had done two things she had never done before. One, she called him Ranma and not Son-in-law, and two she had said please to a request of him. "Um, sure."
"Good, now I would suggest that you activate your curse and stay in that form until they show up, it'll help them to find you," Cologne continued as she started to lead the boy out of the room.
"But I don't want ta be a GIRL!" Ranma exclaimed loudly pulling the attention of the entire restaurant.
"If you wish to find a cure for this you need the help of these people, and they may not be able to find you if you stay a boy," Cologne replied rolling her eyes again. "You do want to be cured, right?"
"Um, yeah," Ranma looked slightly embarrassed by his outburst. "Okay, okay I'll stay a girl."
"Good."

Author's Notes:
This was in response to a challenge to write a Buffy/Ranma fanfiction. I'm posting it here in it's first form as it really hasn't been proofed yet by any one of my pre-readers. I'll have a better version up when they get back to me.
First things first, I may not follow the story in BTVS closely. Although I've recently seen the repeats on the local Space channel I'll probably forget most of it sooner then I get to the chapters. I will be leading up to the Mayor's big day. . . but with major changes as Ranma-chan isn't likely to go the way Faith did.

Author's Notes:
This was in response to a challenge to write a Buffy/Ranma fanfiction. I'm posting it here in it's first form as it really hasn't been proofed yet by any one of my pre-readers. I'll have a better version up when they get back to me.
First things first, I may not follow the story in BTVS closely. Although I've recently seen the repeats on the local Space channel I'll probably forget most of it sooner then I get to the chapters.
