Authors Note: MUST READ I am an obsessive fanfiction reader. I read
fanfiction for at least 4 hours a day. Now please factor that in, my head
is swimming with ideas both mine and others. So, if it looks original it's
mine if not I claim no credit for it and if you are the author of such a
section please consider it a compliment for actually remembering yours out
of the thousands that I have read. And this is a re-write of my other fic
"It Could Be" I thought that I could do better so I am trying again. Btw I
am 18 as of April and I have no job or life the only thing you can get from
me consists of my anime collection which my parents paid for!
It's My Life Now Chapter 1
Time line: This is right after the failed wedding attempt
The rain was soaking the scattered remains of the dojo, and what little remained of Ranma's tolerance. He was sitting in the middle of what was left of the dojo where his fiancés who supposedly loved him threw BOMBS at him, in the foolish assumption that they knew what was best for him. Him! The one who killed a demigod! The one who battled Herb and won! The one who has defeated Pantyhose on several occasions!
What little respect he still held for them was gone, for what they had done had wiped clean what stains he put upon their honor as far as he was concerned. As for Akane, she had left him in here injured and alone after what was supposed to have been his wedding. He had admitted to the fact he had loved her all through everything and was ready to marry her. He had assumed that she felt the same.
Flashback
Smoke was hanging thick in the air from Shampoo's and Ukyo's bombs. Ranma starts to stumble over to Akane to see if she is all right. He was still a little sore from the battle with Saffron, and his father and Tendo-san knocking him out didn't help either. Just as he looks up.
SLAP
He looks up to see Akane with a look of pure rage upon her face.
"How, how dare you ruin MY wedding Ranma Saotome! This was to be MY day and you had to go and ruin it! I can't believe you! I don't know why I even bothered to put up with an aqua-transsexual pervert like you, you, you MONSTER! I don't ever want to see you again this insane engagement is through completely over with, and don't even bother to come and beg me to come back like you did all of the other times you are not even worth listening to, goodbye pervert!"
With that she left. Ranma was seething 'Beg her????? BEG HER?!?!?!' he had never in his life begged for anything after the cat fist! The nerve of her! After all that he had done for her! Well as she said this insane engagement is through, and so are the rest! Just before Akane left the ruined dojo Ranma said in a clear voice
"It shall be done."
End flashback
He means it. He is through with taking orders from the Tendos, the 'other' fiancés, his lazy panda of a father, his insane mother who actually let Genma take him(he just hopes insanity isn't hereditary), and all of the other psychos in his life! This chapter of his life is through. He is only thankful to Happosi; after all he drank the Nanniichuan. He shudders thinking about Pantyhose and how he ended up with tentacles, he would have had the curse of 'spring of drowned boy/girl' scary thought! The only thing worse than being a girl or a cat! He remembers what happened right after Akane left.
Flashback
Genma and Nodoka come barging in a few minutes after Akane stormed out of the dojo. "BOY!!! You go and apologize to your rightful fiancé right now! The honor of the Saotome name depends upon it. I'll go and get a priest and finally be done with this nonsense!"
"Your father is right Ranma time to be a man and do what your parents tell you to do. After all we know best, don't we dear?"
"Your mother is right Ranma this is your job as a man and a Saotome. Now go and do as we say, or else!" Did he just miss something here? What do they know about honor? And since when is being a man doing every thing your parents tell you to do??? "What are you two talking about? The marriage is off and for good this time. I am not, I repeat NOT going to apologize to that spoiled brat?"
"Oh yes you are boy! Now go and get to it now!" Genma was now turning red at this defiance and his mother was shaking her head in shame with a disappointed look on her face. Then it suddenly brightened like she had an ingenious idea. 'Oh crap I know that look!' He had seen that look one too many times on the girls faces before to not to be nervous at this gesture.
"Ranma, if you do not do as your father says you will have dishonored the Saotome name and we will take your name off of the register, we won't stand for a disobedient son in this family."
Ranma was furious at this remark. 'Do they actually think that this will work on me?' Ranma composed himself to do what he must and said in a cold tone,
"Fine then, I will no longer have anything to do with this sorry excuse of a family. I Ranma Saotome renounce the Saotome name and I will be a ronin."
His parents looked shocked that he would actually go that far. Ranma just turned his back to them and sat down thinking of what he must do next. Genma and Nodoka tried everything to try to change his mind, but Ranma just ignored them. Finally in the midst of the rage coming from the thought of her son doing something like this she said, "Fine, so be it I have no son."
Just after they left Ranma said softly to himself, "Good bye mother."
End Flashback
He looks up hearing someone entering getting ready to let them have it for interrupting him when he sees Happosi there.
"Ranma, my boy! You are my greatest and only worthy student that I shall ever have, you will surpass me someday soon. I already know that you are going to leave and I agree. The environment here is no longer of any use to you or your training, so I give you this." Ranma sees that Happosi is handing him the naban mirror.
"But, but, but I thought it was destroyed!" "Come now Ranma, do you honestly believe that a magical artifact such as this will be destroyed so easily? Here take it and train, and be careful with other times and dimensions. Do pop in every once and a while now you hear. Now off I am to terrify those to ingrates that I call students, we must go and liberate my silky darlings! Be happy, and enjoy your life you only get one chance."
Ranma looks at Happosi as he leaves. He had Happosi wrong all along; he was a very wise man underneath all of those wrinkles. Only to hear a loud 'Hooochaaa come to papa' from Happosi, Ranma only sweat dropped and decided to rethink that. He is going to go some where and make his own way he is no longer going to let anyone get in his way he will find his goal, and no one will take it from him. Not any more. Ranma looks deep into the mirror and lets a tear fall then states in a clear voice "Show me. Show me where I can be needed. Show me what I can become." The mirror fogs a little then draws him in for Ranma to watch. To see what he can become.
As Ranma gazes into the mirror he sees the lives he could have had. Lives where he went insane from the neko-ken; others where he drowned at Jusenkyo. There were also very odd ones where he ended up wearing a fuku???? 'Note to self stay away from that dimension.' He suddenly stops when he hears a plea for help. He looked deeply into that universe to see a boy with dull green eyes and a lightning bolt scar. Ranma saw in that boy what people see in him, the expectation for something great. He also saw the result, the boy was nearly broken. He was bruised and bloody like he had been in a big battle, he looks above the boy to see a rather fat man with a mustache about to throw a vase down on the boy with a malicious look on his face. Ranma felt dread well up within him, he felt, no knew that this boy cannot come to any harm. He lets a tear he didn't even knew he had fall onto the mirror. As he goes into the mirror he shouts with a rage laced voice.
"DO NOT LAY A FINGER ON THAT CHILD IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE!"

AN: I don't really know where I am going to take this so please feel free to give me ideas. They will be greatly appreciated! Just to remind you I own nothing! Btw if anyone wants to be my beta reader say so in your review, I don't check my e-mail enough. -_-! Bad Oaku!
BTW: Ranma does know English, he just never got the chance to show it. After all he was constantly attacked by everyone even the teacher. Just remember he was on a 10 year training trip and he is still in the grade level that he was supposed to be in with almost no school experience.
GRRRRRR! Stupid formatting every time I think I have it something else pops up!
