Yo! LovelyLily13 here! Here, is my Ranma fic! You'll find this very enjoyable. At least I think. I'm only thirteen so if you have anything mean to say, don't say it, tell me what I did right and wrong and see what happens. But I think I've watched enough episodes to get it right. So yeah… ~Meow!~ *Does peace sign before cute kitty pose.* Don't judge me!
*Scarlett adding something to the story*
Me telling it.
*Hi, I'm Scarlett Saotome. Ranma Saotome's look alike cousin. Well, his girl side's look alike cousin. This is the story of my life in Nerima, Tokyo.*
Scarlett had walked and flew thousands of miles to get to where she was now.
"Man. I should've asked for directions earlier. I can't believe I lost my compass back there." She sighed, taking in her surroundings. "Where did Ranma say he lived?"
Scarlett was short for her age, fifteen almost sixteen. She looked exactly like Ranma Saotome's girl side. Her eyes were a deep blue, hair the exact same color as her name. Her hair was straight at the top, curly at the bottom. She had a slim figure, white jean shorts, a yellow vest, hiking boots, white biking gloves, and a bow on top of her head, just like Ukyo's except that it was yellow. She heard shouting.
"Ranma Saotome, prepare to die!"
"You already said that, Ryoga!"
Two teenage boys, approximately sixteen years old, came by, fighting intensely. Well, one was fighting intensely, the other looked like he wasn't putting much effort into it.
"Hey, Ran-Chan!"
They didn't hear her as they went past her. She tried again.
"Ranma?"
Ryoga jumped past her.
"Ranma!"
He was about to go past her.
"RANMA!"
She grabbed his pigtail and caused him to fall from his jump. Looking up to see a face that was similar to his girl side, Ranma was staring into blue eyes. Scarlett was looking at Ranma, crouched over, her hands resting on her knees.
"Do you have hard hearing or something? I called you four times." Ranma stood up and looked at the girl.
"Scarlet? Is that you?"
"Who else would it be?" Ranma hugged the girl. Ryoga split the two apart, hands on both people's chests.
"Ranma and I are in the middle of something here!" He looked at Scarlett, realizing he was holding one of her breasts.
"S-Sorry!" He stuttered.
"You done squeezing me, you," She started, a visible blush on her angry face.
Both Saotomes punched the poor guy on the head.
"Pervert!" They both finished.
*Weird thing was, a similar incident happened between girl Ranma and Uncle Tendo, before I was there of course.*
On the ground, Ryoga was holding the spots where he had been hit. He looked up to see Scarlett glaring at him.
"You perverted creep! How dare you grope me like that?" Ryoga stood up. Scarlett's eyes followed his every move.
"I didn't do it on purpose! And who are you to interrupt my fight with Ranma!" Scarlett stood straight, arms folded and a look of disgust in her face. If you look to the side, you would see that Ranma was standing the exact same way with the same look on his face.
"My name is Scarlett Saotome. I'm Ranma's younger cousin. If it's a fight you're looking for," She went into a fighting stance. "Then why don't you fight me?"
Ryoga scoffed. He pushed her aside.
"I don't fight girls. Plus you don't seem like much of an opponent." Ranma raised an eyebrow. He smiled, getting one of his dumb ideas. He threw an arm over Scarlett's shoulder.
"You've been training right?" He whispered. Scarlett nodded.
"For years to come." Ranma smiled.
"I'll get you that fight." He spoke to Ryoga. "What's the matter, Mr. P? Afraid you'll get beaten by a girl?" Ryoga growled.
"No! What kind of man takes pride in fighting a girl?" Scarlett, fully aware of Ranma's curse, looked at the eternal lost boy as if he was a moron, which he kind of was.
"You do. Ranma is half girl and you fight him even when he's in his girl form." Ryoga sweatdropped. He shook it off and turned away.
"What's wrong Ryoga? Are you afraid you'll hurt such a cute face? Because this cutie is pretty sturdy." Ryoga blushed as he looked at Scarlett.
"Don't you have anything better to do?" Scarlett sweatdropped.
"He's right! I have to meet that fiancé you told me about! Come on Ran-Chan!" She announced, dragging her older cousin toward the Tendo dojo. Ryoga sighed. He walked away, unfortunately, the fanged boy landed in a fountain. Jumping out, was little black piglet with a scarf around its neck. It trudged after the two Saotome. Of course, it took a wrong turn.
*Personally, I really enjoyed the Tendo Residence. It was peaceful, when Ranma and Uncle Panda weren't fighting. And I didn't see what was wrong with Akane. She seemed pretty fun to hang around with. I guess Ranma was just stubborn.*
The Saotomes and Tendos were finishing up a great meal cooked by Kasumi.
"Wow Kasumi. That was delicious. You should teach me how to cook sometime." Scarlett stated happily, wiping her mouth with a napkin. Kasumi smiled.
"Why thank you, Scarlett. I look forward to that." Nabiki looked at the red head.
"I know you look a lot like Ranma's girl side, but how are you related, are you his sister or something?" Scarlett put down her tea.
"Well, sort of. My parents died when I was little, so Uncle Panda insisted on taking me in, seeing how I was his sister's daughter. In a way, that kind of makes me Ranma's sister and cousin. This also makes him overprotective when a guy tries to flirt with me, when he's around." She sighed. "I'd say good times, but they were some of the most embarrassing moments of my life."
Nabiki nodded. "So I guess that makes me, Kasumi, and Akane your cousins and sisters-in-laws." Scarlett nodded happily. Akane looked at the redhead.
"Why do you call Mr. Saotome 'Uncle Panda'?" Scarlett smiled.
"Well, when I was little, he always had this fascination with pandas, the name just popped up. He didn't seem to mind so I just stuck with it." She got up and headed toward the door. Ranma looked at her.
"Where're you going Le-Chan?" Pronunciation: Lay-Chan. Scarlett smiled.
"Out for a walk. Don't worry, Ran-Chan, I'll be fine." She then left.
Scarlett walked around, probably to just get some exercise. It started to rain.
"Oh man." Her hair and bow drooped.
Then she heard a weird sound. It was a combination of a squeal and a hiss. She ran in the direction of the noise. She saw three cats cornering a black piglet. She gasped.
"Hey you walking flea traps, leave that pig alone!" Scarlett managed to scare the alley cats away. She ran over to the injured pig and got on her knees. "You poor thing. Did those mean cats hurt you too badly piggy?" The pig crouched and growled at her.
"Bwee! Bweee!" Scarlett giggled.
"It's alright, I won't hurt you. Here piggy." The pig sniffed at her offered hand. She petted the piglet. She noticed a speckled scarf around its neck. Scarlett remembered something.
"I have this cute little pet pig. His name is P-Chan, he tends to run off sometimes. If you see him, could you bring him to me?" Scarlett looked at the pig. "Are you Akane's pet, P-Chan?" P-Chan nodded with a squeal.
"Bweeee!"
Scarlett picked P-Chan up and held him like a baby.
"I'll take you home to Akane, P-Chan. You must've gotten lost, right? Come on let's go." P-Chan looked at her with a skeptic look on his face. Scarlett looked down at him. She scratched him behind the head. Lightning flashed and thunder clapped. P-Chan covered his ears.
"You scared?" Scarlett said. P-Chan nodded. She kissed him on his head and held him close.
"Don't worry, baby, I'll keep you safe." She cooed. P-Chan blushed. Like Akane, Scarlett wasn't aware of how the cute and cuddly pig in her arms was really the cursed body of Ryoga Hibiki. He felt slightly guilty, using his curse to be around his crush. He didn't mind being held by Scarlett. She had Akane's warmth and comfort, just with a different scent. The rain picked up. Scarlett began to run.
"Times like this you wished you had an umbrella, huh P-Chan?" She stopped. Unzipping her vest to reveal a red tank, she placed Ryoga inside and zipped it slightly.
"That should keep you dry." Afraid of the piglet might slip out, Scarlett held her vest to support him as she ran. Finally making it to the house, she opened the door, now soaking wet. Genma was first to notice her entrance.
"Scarlett, you're soaked!" She smiled reassuringly.
"I'm fine Uncle Panda." She walked up to Akane and unzipped her vest, revealing a sleeping Ryoga. Akane's face brightened.
"P-Chan! Thanks Scarlett." Ranma scowled at the fact that that little swine was inside his cousin/sister's vest. Kasumi frowned.
"You should hurry and take a hot bath before you catch a cold." She nodded. Unfortunately for her, Scarlett's bag was soaked, along with the clothes she had packed inside. Akane, sensing her dilemma, ran into her room to fetch some pajamas. Scarlett bowed and went into the bathroom.
From Akane's room, the sound of running water had awakened Ryoga. 'Where am I?' He checked his surroundings. 'I'm in Akane's room?' Entering the room was Scarlett with a towel over her head.
"Thanks again Akane." She noticed a mattress next to Akane's bed. "What's that?" Akane smiled.
"Oh, I thought you should sleep I my room for as long as you're living with us. It's the least I do since you found P-Chan." Scarlett smiled. She sat on the mattress and wrote in her journal which was, thankfully, waterproof. Ryoga crawled onto her bed. Akane watched the little pig curiously. He made a gesture that appeared as if he was bowing while apologetically squealing.
"Bweeee..."
Akane smiled as Scarlett petted the little pig. "That's alright P-Chan. It's not like you made it rain." He nudged her, he crawled onto her pillow and curled into a ball. Akane giggled.
"Looks like P-Chan wants to sleep with you tonight. Well, goodnight. Turn the light off when you're done writing in your journal." Scarlett nodded. She laid on her belly, resting the journal next to Ryoga as she wrote. He was really interested in what she wrote, but didn't dare to read it in chances of it being her private journal. She turned the light off a few minutes later before holding the journal close and falling asleep. Ryoga inched closer to her slightly.
'She so similar to Akane. At first, I just thought she was violent. But she's really kind and caring. She almost cuter than Akane too.' A hour of sleep, Ryoga woke up to a strange sound. He opened one eye to see Ranma and a pot of hot water.
"There you are, you perverted swine." He whispered/yelled.
Dun dun dunnnnn! Yet another fic. I now have to update four fics. Well, that was entertaining! Stayed tuned for chapter 2, which I shall write after 13 reviews! Or at least until I come up with an idea and become impatient, yep, I'm just strange that way. Bye-bye! J
