Chapter 1 -Enter Suzuki! The martial arts master!- *disclamer=I do not own Ranma. Wish I did though*

it was a normal day at the tendo family dojo. Kasumi was making breakfast, nabiki was sitting at the table reading a book. Mr saotome and mr tendo were playing their game of shogi. But we can't forget Akane chasing ranma and happosai around the house with a broom.

"RANMA! HAPPOSAI! You perverts! Get back here!" Akane yelled as she continued to chase them around the house.

"I didn't do anything, it was the pervert that stole your bras." Ranma said as he dogded akane's hits. Happosai was laughing and carrying his bag of 'goods'.

"I'll teach you perverts a lesson!" Akane yelled out. This chasing lasted for a couple more minutes until akane caught both happosai and ranma. Lets say they both got a beating.

Finally it was quiet at last. Kasumi finally finished making the delicious breakfast. Everyone was seated at the table. Each munching away at their food.

"Oh look father, it's raining" kasumi said. Good thing it was Saturday. As we all know ranma has a curse of turning into a girl when splashed with cold water. His father has a similar curse except he turns into a panda. There are many others that also have a curse. Shampoo, a Chinese amazon, with the curse of drowned cat, moose, which is in love with shampoo, is cursed with - Drown duck. Then there's Ryoga, a rival to ranma when it comes to akane's love, he is cursed with drowned piglet. It's not fun with these curses, even in a rain storm like the one right this instant. "Nabiki can you pass the rice?" Ranma asked.

"Gee you eat alot ranma" nabiki said with big sarcasm in her voice.

"She's right ranma! How are you supposed to take over the tendo dojo over weight!" Ranma's dad said.

Ranma and akane were engaged when they were little. They would marry and take over the tendo dojo. The problem was Ranma had still alot to learn, the other problem was that his father didn't know all the technics. He got help from other people such as cologne, shampoo's grandmother. But that still wasn't enough, according to ranma and his dad.

This all changes.

**bam!bam!**(knocking on the door)

"I'll get it!" Kasumi said as she got up to answer the door.

" ranma after breakfast, we are going to the dojo and sparring. You got that." Ranma's dad said.

"Ya sure" ranma said as he stuffed his face with more rice.

" what's taking kasumi so long?" Akane asked her older sister Nabiki.

"Should we go check?" Nabiki asked. Akane nodding her head got up and walked towards the front door. There standing at the door was the handsomest man both girls has ever seen. Kasumi which was blushing rapidly, was lost in her words. Who could blame her, the man was a hotty.

"Hi, um... Is this the tendo dojo?" The young man asked.

"Yes it is!" Akane said giving the man a welcoming smile.

"So ranma saotome is here? Great! I looked for him a long time. Um may I come in?"

"Of course you may" kasumi said as she moved out of the way so that the man could enter.

Akane returned to the table blushing and staring into blank space.

"Hey akane, who was at the door?" Akane's dad asked.

Akane gave out a long sigh. Ranma turned his head to see a handsome young man at the doorway of the kitchen.

"Which one of you are Ranma?" The young man asked. Ranma getting a little jealous of akane looking at the young man so happily, stood up.

"Your looking at him. Let me guess, your here to challenge me. Just a warning pal, I'm really powerful. And I don't take It easy on pretty boys like you" ranma said as he got in a fighting stance.

"Ranma don't you recognize me?" The man said as he pointed at himself.

" why would I know you." Ranma said as he crossed his arms.

"I'm your cousin, Suzuki. Don't you remember. We grew up together." Everyone turned their head to ranma.

" how could this be?! Ranma doesn't have any boy cousins" ranma's father answered.

"Boy?!oh.. Do you have any warm water?" Everyone looked at Suzuki weirdly.

"I'd like to make noodles." Suzuki said as he took a box of noodles out.

"Oh ok" kasumi said as she brought the boiling water to Suzuki.

"Thank you" instead of pouring the hot water in the noodle bowl, he poured the water on his head. Everyone gasped. He was a she.
