Tendo's New Neighbor Chapter 1: The new Neighbor, a ranma fanfic

Hi all this is my first Ranma fic so I may get a few things wrong or misspell some things if that happens I would appreciate someone to send the correct spelling when the characters speak in Chinese I will try to use correct Chinese Romanization but sadl

This takes place after the failed wedding but some ideas from past chapters or episodes may show up again to feature the new OC I have for the Ranma crew

/speaking non-Japanese/ - (used when someone is not speaking Japanese)

"Normal speech"

'Thoughts'

--Chapter 1 the new neighbor--

It was a peaceful morning in Nerima which sadly to say was unusual, there were no fights in the streets, no crazy ladies laughing as they jumped from roof to roof, and no shouts of

"RANMA NO BAKA!!"

Maybe I spoke too soon…

Akane was furious, why you may ask? Simple after the disaster of a wedding Ranma had the nerve to tease her the day after, so here she was with her trusty mallet trying to pound him into the dirt as the other residents of the house sat down for breakfast

Kasumi called out to them as she set down the last tray of food "Akane-chan, Ranma time for breakfast!"

The bickering duo paused as their stomachs grumbled signaling their need for food

Akane hmphed as her mallet disappeared and headed towards the table leaving Ranma to sigh in relief 'thank Kami-sama she didn't hit me' as he bounded over to the table taking his seat across from Akane

Once everyone was seated they all mumbled "itadakimasu" before digging in some more ferociously then others

Tendo Soun gazed at everyone at the table "What are we going to do now Saotome-kun? At this rate the schools will never be joined!" he started crying as waterfalls began pouring out of his eyes

Saotome Genma looked at his long time friend and tried to smile reassuringly "Don't worry Tendo-kun we'll figure something out!"

Nabiki looked bored as she watched the two men give each other the thumbs up before speaking "Either way we'll have to wait until the dojos fixed then we'll have to save money to set up another wedding, right now we don't have enough money"

The two men looked at each other the dropped their heads in disappointment

Kasumi smiled as she poured her Otou-san another cup of tea "I heard that house next door was sold just recently" everyone looked at her surprised

Ranma swallowed what was in his mouth "Really who bought it?"

Kasumi smiled "I don't know I just saw someone put a sold sticker over the for sale sign when I was sweeping the front"

Akane sighed "Well I hope they don't get scared and run off like our last neighbors did"

Ranma stared at her "And whose fault was it they ran away kawaiikune otenba" he was promptly hammered into the ground by a mallet that had suddenly appeared in Akane's hand

"It was Shampoo's not mine baka"

They all sighed as the last of breakfast was finished

Ranma stood up and headed towards the door "I think I'm going to go for a walk around town, I'm bored and there's nothing to do today since its Sunday"

Genma waved his hand dismissively as Ranma headed outside the door

Deciding to take the slow way around town Ranma walked along the streets instead of roof hopping as he viewed the shops looking for something to occupy his large amount of time

About one hour later the sounds of fighting reached his ears, confused Ranma dashed off in the direction of the noise to investigate as he mumbled to himself "There's a fight that doesn't involve me?"

It didn't take log for Ranma to find the source of the noise as he perched himself on a stone wall to watch as a group of four men surrounded a lone figure wearing a hooded cloak keeping their face from view idly Ranma thought that the person reminded him of when he first met Herb

One of the thugs shouted "You think you can bump into the boss and get away with it?"

The figure shrugged and in a light voice spoke "Do I care?"

Those three words seemed to anger the thugs even more as they all charged the figure at once

Ranma was about to jump in and help but stopped when he saw the cloaked figure's smirk

Quick as lightning the figure punched the closest thug in the gut knocking the air out of his lungs, grabbing the man's shirt the figure threw him into two more of the thugs knocking all three out, shifting their weight the figure delivered a vicious kick to the fourth man's face knocking him into the wall below Ranma the figure smirked

"Aw that was boring they didn't even last two minutes" they turned towards Ranma and seemed to smile as they removed their hood revealing an oddly feminine face with hair just one inch above their shoulder "So enjoy the show?"

Ranma nodded as he jumped down to meet the newcomer and held out his hand "Saotome Ranma, nice to meet you"

Smiling the figure shook his hand "Shuujuku Senshimaru, Senshi for short, nice to meet you"

Ranma smiled "Well Senshi, want me to show you around town?"

Senshi smiled but shook his head "Thanks for the offer but I'm supposed to meet the movers in front of my new house soon so I should get going" He started to leave the area

Ranma walked with him "Want some help moving in?"

Senshi smiled in appreciation "Sure thanks a lot Ranma"

Ranma smiled "No problem, besides what are friends for?"

Senshi looked at him then laughed like he never laughed before "Well my friend you seem the type to make friends easily"

Ranma chuckled as he thought about it "Either that or enemies"

For some reason this sent Senshi into another fit of laughter which Ranma soon found contagious as he too began laughing

They talked a bit about their own lives as they walked Ranma about stories with everyone else and Senshi about his own adventures. They were enjoying themselves until an old lady splashed Senshi with water

Ranma sighed in relief when he realized he had not gotten wet only to realize that Senshi was grumbling about something

Turning around he expected to see a dripping wet Senshi what he didn't expect was to see a taller boy with a very handsome face instead of one that could be mistaken for a girl's, his hairstyle was the same and his eyes were the same but his body was different

Ranma gasped "You fell in a cursed spring at Jusenkyo?"

Senshi looked at him in confusion then spoke in a deeper voice more fitting his new body "You know of Jusenkyo?"

Ranma nodded "I fell in the Nyaniichuan so when I get hit by cold water I turn into a girl hot water reverses it"

Senshi nodded "Well I don't know how to really say the name of mine but it's called the Cursed Spring of Drowned Womanizing Man" when I get hit by cold water I take on the body of a womanizer from one-thousand nine-hundred years ago. The problem is if I come into physical contact with a girl while in my cursed form I become a womanizer, and unfortunately a damn good one at that"

Ranma looked confused "Why would that be bad?"

Senshi sighed "Because I won't remember anything I did while in that state"

Ranma put his hands behind his head "That must suck possibly getting laid and not knowing it until you wake up"

Senshi groaned "Then the responsibility that can come with it, so basically as long as I don't touch a girl while in my cursed form I'm okay"

Ranma nodded and continued walking

As they walked Ranma noticed that everything was looking very familiar 'Don't tell me…'

Then Senshi stopped "Well here we are my new home" Ranma paused to look at the house, It like the Tendo home was large and could easily fit two much smaller buildings on the grounds within the stone wall that encircled it idly Ranma noticed some building materials on both sides of the front door and that the walls had been moved so that the front of the house made up part of the wall leaving a lawn and a cement path of seventy yards from the front door to the street.

Ranma then looked to his left and noticed that indeed his own place of residence was right there

Ranma was soon shaken out of his thoughts when Senshi spoke "Ah here come the movers, I'll go get my stuff from them then we can start bringing things into the house"

Ranma nodded with a smile as he stood there waiting for Senshi to get his things from the movers

He didn't have to wait long as the movers started pulling things out of their truck and piling them neatly in one spot he was surprised at how much there actually was, Once they had finished unloading the movers climbed into their truck and left.

Senshi smiled "Well then let's get to work!" he enthusiastically began lifting some of the boxes with ease and carried them inside

Ranma shook his head and began to help out

Akane who had heard the movers came out to see what was going on, she then saw Ranma helping a person taller than Ranma himself with long almost shoulder length hair. Jumping to the conclusion that the person was female and that Ranma was fooling around with other women again she ran up and smacked him upside the head.

"Itai What was that for Akane!" Ranma shouted as he rubbed the lump on his head

Akane looked angry never actually looking at Senshi who had inched farther away from her. She pointed at him and shouted never looking away from Ranma "Who is she? Another one of your iinazukes?"

Senshi sensing trouble quickly spoke up "Anou…I'm a guy"

Akane stared at him incredulously "You're really a guy?"

Ranma scowled "Yes he's a guy he also fell into the Cursed Spring of Womanizing Man so this is his cursed form he said he loses control of himself when a woman touches him"

Akane nodded her head slowly as she stared at Senshi who had begun whistling while he continued moving boxes into his new house

When he came out for another box she asked him with a smile as Ranma continued moving boxes into the house "Need any more help?"

He nodded happily as Akane helped him move his things into the house. With the extra help the move in was finished within the hour as the three sat around the table waiting for the water to heat up, once it did so Senshi walked into the room and held the teakettle above his head pouring enough for the transformation to occur the now smaller more feminine boy smiled at Akane "See I was cursed"

Akane moved closer to take a closer look only for Senshi to move away sweating slightly

This process continued until Akane growled in frustration and shouted "Hold still so I can get a better look at you!"

Senshi gulped nervously "I'm still a guy you know"

Akane stared at him making him uncomfortable, and then finally after what seemed like hours of staring she asked "Want to eat with us at our house today? You know since you just moved in and all"

Ranma was quick to agree "Yeah we could introduce you to he rest of our family"

Senshi smiled softly "Sure I'll come over for dinner, where do you guys live?"

Akane giggled "We're your next door neighbors" she then led him outside and pointed to the Tendo dojo which was to their right

Senshi blinked "Oh well what do you know." He paused as he gave the Tendo home a once over "You mind if I come over now give me a chance to explain my curse and such"

Akane and Ranma both smiled "No problem I'm sure everyone is still there" Akane then entered her house followed by Ranma then Senshi

"Otou-san I'm back and I brought a guest!" Akane yelled as she slipped off her shoes Ranma and Senshi doing the same

It didn't take long for Soun to walk in and greet them "Welcome back Akane, Ranma…" he paused as he saw Senshi "…and who might you be miss?"

Senshi's vein popped on his forehead as he shouted "I'm a guy!"

Soun blinked rapidly as Akane and Ranma nodded their heads trying not to laugh, then Soun bowed to Senshi "Sumimasen I just assumed you were female because of your face"

Senshi grumbled "No problem that happens all the time"

Soun nodded "Well why don't you three wait at the table I will bring everyone down and you can introduce yourself"

Senshi smiled "Arigatou, Tendo-san" he then followed Ranma and Akane to the dining area, Soun smiled "Nice boy"

It didn't take long for the rest of the household to come down and sit around the table

Soun sat at the head of the table with Kasumi to his right and Genma to his left, Nabiki sat next to Kasumi, Ranma sat next to Genma, Akane sat next to Nabiki and Senshi sat next to Ranma

Nabiki was the first to speak "Who's the new guy?"

Senshi inwardly cheered because she got his gender right the first try "I'm Shuujuku Senshimaru, Senshi for short, nice to meet you" he bowed slightly

Nabiki acting as spokesperson introduced everyone "I'm Tendo Nabiki, my Nee-chan Tendo Kasumi, my Otou-san Tendo Soun, and the man next to you is Saotome Genma"

With each name the person would say "Nice to meet you"

Senshi smiled "Well I just moved in next door and Akane and Ranma had invited me over after they had helped me move in"

Ranma nodded with a big grin on his face "And you wanted to explain your curse to everyone" Needless to say everyone's ears perked up

Senshi sighed "Yes my curse, well I'm by far luckier then most of those who fell in Jusenkyo, seeing as I remain human and male"

Genma's eyes widened "You fell in the Naniichuan?"

Senshi looked to the side "Not really I fell into a version of it I can't really Pronounce it right in Chinese, but it's called the Cursed Spring of Womanizing Man, and whenever I physically touch a woman in that state I become a womanizer and I won't remember anything I did while in that state."

Each person was left to their own thoughts as Kasumi stood and went into the kitchen, probably to check on the dinner she was cooking

Soun who had taken time to think over Senshi's curse broke the silence "Senshi-kun where are your family?"

Senshi pouted which looked cute on his face "Hokkaido I came here on my own to escape my three nee-sans, I don't have an Okaa-san or an Otou-san"

Nabiki looked surprised "Who makes the money then if you don't have parents"

Senshi blushed slightly "All of us chip in I have had a variety of jobs since I was little, Nana-nee the youngest of my nee-sans is a model and sadistic…" Memories of being forced to pose in women's clothing popped into Senshi's mind as he shook his head to clear it "…Tsubasa-nee the middle nee-san writes pornographic doujinshi thus she's also a Hentai…" Memories of being forced pose in erotic positions with other girls popped into his head as his face turned scarlet, shaking his head he continued "…and Maki-nee the oldest nee-san is as a cover a waitress she really makes potions and pills similar to those of Chinese origin…" Memories of being a guinea pig for her experiments surfaced as he visibly shuddered

Nabiki who noticed his reactions to the name of each sister put a hand on his shoulder

Only for Senshi who took a glance at her hand then traced it back to her face to shout in fear and back up to the wall sweating bullets, eyes bulging as he took rapid breaths

Everyone stared at him in confusion as Genma spoke his mind "What's wrong boy?"

Senshi stayed where he was as he answered in a ragged breath while keeping an eye on Nabiki "I… have a strong… distrust of women"
