A/N: While i AM still working on "child of two moons", i find i am having writer's block. sorry. Anyway, this is a new story, whole different series. This one, if you couldn't tell, is Ranma 1/2. Ranma went to China to get cured, but ended up with a small problem. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I donn't own Ranma 1/2, it's characters, or anything related. All i own are my email, my creature(omnitroid) and my clothes and school supplies.
Chapter 1
It was a bright and sunny day in Nerima. It was also one of the days where it was peaceful all morning: no Ranma flying through the sky, no Ranma being chased by his fiancés, no getting chased by the ones who claim to love said fiancés who would stop at nothing to kill him, and most of all, no destruction caused by said reasons. Yup, it was a bright, sunny, peaceful day. That's why Kami-sama decided to ruin it.
At the Tendo dojo, Kasumi was out getting groceries, Soun an a panda were playing shogi, Akane was up in her room doing homework, Nabiki was off somewhere probably trying to make money off of some poor soul that wasn't Ranma, and Ranma himself was in the dojo practicing his katas. As soon as Kasumi got home and was in the kitchen putting the groceries away, there was a knock on the door. Everyone's heads went up(because, at one time or another, they had all gathered up in the main room.
"This BETTER not be another fiancé, Ranma," Akane growled.
"It shouldn't be. I made sure this time that pops didn't engage me to anyone else while we were away," he said, defensively. Just then the panda held up a sign.
[Show some respect, boy!]*flip*[i at least had the decency not to try to!]
"Yeah, AFTER i had to tie you up in chains and drag you around!" While this was going on, Kasumi went to open the door.
"Oh my!" At her exclamation, everyone's attention was back on the person in the doorway. They couldn't see the person because he/she was around the corner.
Please not another fiancé, please not another fiancé, please not another fiancé! Ranma and Akane thought. Surprisingly, Genma, Ranma's father and(on occasion) his pet panda, was thinking the same but not for the same reasons. He just didn't want it to be another fiancé because his wife would kill him if it was. So they were all VERY surprised when a little kid came in instead, walking behind Kasumi. Everyone's jaws dropped(save for the panda's, since he knew why that person was here and was now slowly tiptoeing out the back door.
"Hii!" the little girl said. "I'm Ranko Saotome!" everyone then proceeded to facefaullt. "What's wrong?" Ranko asked. "Did i say something bad?"
"Pops, WHY are we back at Jusenkyo?" asked a very annoyed Ranma. Genma had literally dragged his son through mud to get here.
"The springs have been brought back to normal. We're getting you a cure!" While Genma said that, he was really trying to get his own cure, but he knew he should take Ranma along, just until he found out if the cure would work as he hoped.
"Really!? Why didn't you say so!?" He then took off, preparing to jump into the spring of drowned man, but Genma stopped him.
"You REALLY don't want to do in there, Ranma."
"Why not?" Ranma asked, confused.
"Because Jusenkyo curses don't replace each other: they mix. Do you want to be a REAL half girl half boy for the rest of your life?"
"They... mix?"
"Yes. Don't you remembe Pantyhose Taro? He gained octopus tentacles because he jumped into another pool and mixed his curse."
"So THAT'S how he did it," Ranma stated, unobservant as usual. "So how am i going to get cured?"
"Easy," was the only answer he got before being thrown into a pool. "Oops," was Genma's reply when Ranma came out as a very angry cat girl, with red cat ears and tail. He then threw her into another pool, only to provoke the same response. Not only was his manly son a cat girl, but now a SIX YEAR OLD cat girl. He had to get the next one right. He threw her into a final spring, but overestimated how heavy she was and she hit her head on a rock outlining the pool. When Ranma floated back up, there were two bodies: the one that he threw in and a fully male, 16 year old Ranma. So THAT was the pool. He was about to jump in it himself, when he heard noises coming from the guide's hut. He took male Ranma and ran, leaving the girl to her fate, believing her not to be Ranma.
The Jusenkyo guide was a slightly overweight man, seeming to be in his thirties or forties. Sure his daughter, Plum, would always tell him he looked good, he was sensitive about his weight. He tried, honestly tried, to lose weight, but none of the methods seemed to work. He was trying one of these methods(yoga) when he heard several splashes from the pools. He decided to go investigate. It was pretty dark out, so he brought a flashlight. He scanned the abandoned training ground and saw something he did not expect to see. The last(and VERY stupid, he remembered) customer running off with his son like a thief. He decided(since he witnessed it first hand) that he was too fast for him and decided instead, to go check out the pool they left from. He saw a little girl whose training gi was several sizes too big, who looked surprisingly like the stupid one's son's cursed form, only de-aged and with red cat ears and tail. He stared for several minutes before common sense took over and he carefully picked the small girl up and carried her to his hut. He realized the boy-turned-little cat girl wouldn't wake up until morning, so he restarted his yoga exercises thinking, That man is so stupid. He doesn't even know he left his own daughter here. After all, the pool of drowned twins created an exact replica, in mind if not body, of the person who fell in the spring. On that thought, he wondered what he would make for breakfast and hoping(since it had happened before, that the young girl wouldn't eat forty pounds of food, when she woke up. He sighed. Why was his life so hard?
The moment she woke up, the girl didn't know where she was. Heck, she didn't know WHO she was and that scared her. She frantically looked around for any clue. She saw none in the small shack she occupied. She noticed she was on a couch in the shack and(of course) that she was a little neko girl. From what she saw of outside, she was FAR away from civilization. She wondered how she got here. Just then, the door opened and she saw the guid come in.
"Oh, so you awake now?" he asked her in very broken Japanese.
"Um... yes. Excuse me for asking, but... do you know who i am?" That surprised the Jusenkyo guide. So she can't remember, he thought. Probably for the best, as hr father isn't the best role model.
"Can you try remember?" he asked, feeling she should at least remember SOMEthing.
"I...," she frowned, trying hard to remember. "I remember my name starts with Ran and my last name is Saotome. Besides that, nothing besides the one word: Tendo. Does that mean anything to you?" She looked up at him with a hopeful expression. He faintly remembered the Tendos during the Saffron incident, but that was about it. He also knew they lived in Japan and housed one Genma Saotome and Ranma Saotome. He came up with an idea right then.
"Your name Ranko. You lived at Tendo residence in Japan. I visit there once. They take care of you. I bring you there when you better. You found unconscious near here and i take you in. Now before anything else, i make you too too good Japanese curry, yes?" The little girl seemed to be deep in thought, but when food was mentioned, she perked up. She looked at him with her adorable, sparkling blue eyes.
"Yes please!" she told him politely, a far cry from the teenage boy who had come here nearly a year ago. Maybe this will turn out better than i thought, he thought. She seems to have dropped the habit of not listening to him and was even polite, but that was probably picked up from her father. He couldn't help but smile, looking into those sparkling blue eyes of hers, filled to the brim with child-like innocence. It's almost like having another daughter, which he had always wanted. This wouldn't be as bad as he thought indeed.
A/N: So how was it? I think i did better on this than "child of two moons". I saw a picture of an actual little neko girl Ranma and she was so cute i decided to make a fanfiction about it. If you have any suggestions for future events, please tell me. Now before anyone asks, yes. The following chapters will be longer even if i have to force it out of me. So hope you enjoyed and see you next time!
