Author's note: While I plan to write a few chapters for this, the idea for it really started forming in my head after re-shelving my anime box sets. Basically, what would happen if Ranma Saotome really was a playboy? It sort of snowballed from there. Also, I might word pretty generically in places so you know who is talking.
It was a simple enough mission. Go back in time and stop the mega playboy before he had a chance to sire his offspring. Because of this one man, there was an overpopulation problem the likes of which the world could never recover from. So, the way to ultimately fix this problem without killing them, which would be highly unethical, would be to go back in time and stop him from having those children. The best way to do that, obviously, would be by altering his D.N.A. so that he would have no playboy children that would ultimately cause the downfall of humanity.
This is the mission that Karin Aoi was given. Of course, it was beneath someone as gorgeous and talented as herself. However, since it was a government job, the pay would be enormous. With it, she could finally realize the sweet home she had dreamed of. The one with a wonderful husband, a cute pet, in her very own house with a garden in it! Oh, how lucky she was! Although, first she had to find a husband. There would be plenty of time to do that afterwards.
"ONE MINUTE UNTIL DIMENSIONAL TRANSIT!"
"Oh crap!" she exclaimed and ran back out of her ship. Where was it? Where was it! She looked around the room her ship was in.
There! On the desk was her DCM bullet. Quickly she grabbed it and re-boarded her ship.
"TEN SECONDS UNTIL DIMENSIONAL TRANSIT!"
"That was close! If I had forgotten this DCM, I would never have been able to get rid of the mega playboy. That wouldn't have looked good for the number one D.N.A. operator in the business!"
"FIVE SECONDS!"
"FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE, ZERO!"
With electricity crackling all around it, the ship vanished on its journey to the past.
"Ranma you jerk! Get back here!"
Ranma Saotome looked back at the person who was yelling at him. It was his fiancé Akane Tendo. He was running at an even pace. It wasn't quite fast enough to pull away from her, but not too slow that she would catch up either.
"Geez, Akane, I said it ain't what it looks like."
"Yeah right! Why should I believe you? You were practically making out with Shampoo back there!"
"She was the one who doing it! Why is it you never believe me?"
Really, why was it that no one ever believed him? Everyone always thought the worst of him in those situations. It seemed like every time he was with a girl, something ruined the moment and made him look like a pervert. He wasn't a pervert. He was a martial artist. The most awesome martial artist ever, but still that didn't mean he was a pervert. He didn't really care that much about any fiancés. Especially his uncute fiancé that was chasing him right now. Life just wasn't fair sometimes.
"I said get back here!"
"What for? You're just going to hit me."
"You're damn right I'm going to hit you, you pervert!"
"Then, why should I stop if you're just going to hit me?"
"Because you deserve it!"
"I do not deserve it!"
"Yes you do!"
"Forget it! Why should I bother explaining things to a tomboy type like you?"
"What did you say!"
"I said I'm out of here. Later Akane!"
With that said, Ranma jumped up from the streets and started hopping from rooftop to rooftop away from Akane.
"RAAAANMAAAAAA!"
In a burst of electricity, a small ship appeared in a park in the Nerima Ward. Its occupant strolled down the ramp and quickly went into hiding in a wooded area.
"Alright, time to find my target. Where are you Junta Mo-"
"Ranma! You come to Shampoo!"
Karin turned to see a girl with purple hair chasing a boy in a red shirt and black pants. The two of them were jumping all over the place from treetops to lampposts. It was an odd sight for her considering that D.N.A. modifications didn't start on people for quite a while. Perhaps they were early test subjects? Who knows? It didn't really concern her.
"Get away from him Shampoo!"
A new voice came in and suddenly a boy with a large weapon showed up and attacked the purple haired girl. The girl blocked the weapon with what appeared to be a beach ball on the end of a stick. Did that even make sense?
"What you doing here Spatula girl?"
Girl? Was that was woman?
"I'm here because it looks like you're trying to take my fiancé away!"
Interesting. It seems like this situation was similar to what she was trying to prevent.
"Ranma is Shampoo's airen! You no interfere!"
Wait. Her Chinese wasn't that good, but she was pretty sure that airen meant husband. Wasn't he already engaged to the other girl?
"That's only according to your tribe's dumb traditions, sugar. He ain't really yours yet."
"You mock 3,000 years Chinese Amazon tradition! You die!"
With that, Karin watched as the two leapt at each other and began combatting one another. This was a pretty bad squabble that the two of them had. It was quite the love triangle. She watched as the young man tried to get them to stop.
Meanwhile, a sudden storm picked up out of nowhere. She was far enough away not to get caught up in it, but it was most peculiar. In the wind there seems to be quite a few petals. Shortly after this started, there was an ear piercing laugh.
"Ohhohohohohohoho! You dare to have a match over my darling Ranma and not include the rising star of the high school rhythmic gymnastics world. I, Kodachi, the Black Rose, shall teach you impertinent commoners a lesson. Ohhohohohohoho!"
Another girl is after him? If that wasn't bad enough, this girl was wearing a leotard! Thinking about it, this guy was pretty bad as well. He was stringing three girls along. Not to mention that they all knew about each other. How is it that he managed to have all three girls fighting over him?
"There you are Ranma!"
Her attention was drawn to yet another girl who showed up. This one was wearing what appeared to be a blue school uniform.
"Aiyah! Kitchen destroyer here too! Is too too bad you no can win. You should give up on Ranma. Let Shampoo marry instead."
"What was that?"
"Ohhohohohohoho! Yes deary. Why don't you end your silly little engagement to my darling Ranma and try to find yourself another man? After all, I'm the only woman that Ranma darling would ever need."
"Wrong! Ranma is my fiancé, sugar. I won't let you touch him!"
"You is one who is wrong. Ranma is Shampoo airen. You both merely obstacles. Obstacles is for killing!"
With that, the three of them leapt into combat again. Karin couldn't believe what she was seeing. This man wasn't just bad, he was worse than the mega playboy. Not only was he stringing four women along, but they each knew about it and it seemed like he didn't even care! In fact it looked like all he was doing was talking to the girl in the uniform!
That was it. She decided that she could go after the mega playboy later. With what was going on in front of her, this man needed to be taken care of first.
Carefully, Karin pulled out her pistol and loaded the DCM bullet she brought.
"It doesn't matter what I say, you always, always think the worst of me."
"It's usually the truth!"
"It is not!"
Suddenly, Ranma's danger sense flared up. He looked to where he sensed it from. It looked like a gun was being pointed at him. His instinct took over.
"Akane! Look out!"
He quickly moved in front of Akane as a shot rang out over the park. The shot had hit him squarely in the back as he shielded Akane from harm. The sound quickly stopped everything going on around him. The three combatants turned to see Ranma slumping over Akane.
"Ranma!"
"Ranma darling!"
"Airen!"
As one all three ran over to Ranma's side. None of them could believe what they were seeing. Ranma was invincible in their eyes. To see him get shot like that was absolutely inconceivable.
"Quickly! We have to get him to see Dr. Tofu! He can help!."
Without a word, the four of them picked up Ranma and headed towards Dr. Tofu's office.
Back aboard her ship, Karin sat in her chair. She had shot a different target than she was supposed to. It was a crime to alter the D.N.A. of a person she wasn't authorized to alter. What was she going to do? With what happened, she would never see her paycheck from this job. Now how would she be able to find husband, get a cute pet, and buy her very own house with a garden in it?
"Karin? Karin are you there?"
Karin jumped out of her seat. Oh crap! They were calling already? It was all over!
"Finally, we got a hold of you. I'll keep this brief since it costs a lot of money to keep this connected. We need you to come back. You forgot to take your DCM bullet with you."
"What? No I didn't. I still have it," she bluffed.
"Does it have a red stripe on it? The one you were supposed to take with you has a red stripe on it like so."
He held up a bullet on the screen. It showed a red stripe on the casing.
"Ahhh! That is the bullet I was supposed to take! It even has the marking I left on it so I would know it was the right one."
"Well it's not the one you took with you then. You'll need to come back and get it."
"But I can't get back yet."
"And why can't you go back yet?"
"Ummm, because the ship is damaged! Yeah, the ship is damaged and I'll need a bit of time to repair it."
"Very well. When the ship is finished being repaired, come back immediately. Understood?"
"Yes I will!"
As the screen went black, she sat back down in her chair.
"How am I supposed to fix this? I don't even know where to look for this Ranma guy to find out what happened to him."
"Wait, if that wasn't the DCM bullet for the mega playboy, then what did I inject into that man?
