It was a bright day in the mountains of China and a group had found an ice cave where inside was a very beautiful woman inside of a block of ice. She was blond, well built and dressed in a black outfit with sparkles on it. "There's someone in there." Said the leader. Then the others had went over to where he was and they had seen her. "Get me something to chip the ice so we can free her." He said.
So they did and they got her loose. They laid her down and put her in refrigerated truck.
"Sir, do you think she is still alive?" Said one of his subordinates.
"I really hope so or there will be hell to pay." He said, they headed for Saotome labs. Where they put the woman inside a chamber where it was filled with hot water to melt the ice freeing the woman then they placed an oxygen mask on her. She was now breathing in oxygen.
"Sir she's thriving!" Said a doctor, the man came running in to check in on her. That was when she opened her eyes they were a warm caramel brown.
"Are you alright?" He said, she nodded. "I am Dr. Yuji Sontaro, who are you?"
"Kasuga," she said. "Where is... Lord Kenshin?"
"What year do you think it is?"
"The 18th year of the Tenbun era." She said, some of the interns looked confused. but Dr. Sontaro slightly sighed. Ah youth, such things they can learn.
"She means 1549, the Sengoku Period, we're talking almost five centuries ago." Then he looked back to Kasuga, "you are 460 years too late, my dear." she gasped. 460 years? What happened when she was gone? "The so-called, 'Demon King' Nobunaga Oda, had arose and was defeated but not before he killed many Lords, including, I'm sorry to say, Kenshin Uesugi." Tears were being mixed in the water. "I'm sorry."
A month later, Kasuga was in a room, resting and healing contemplating her life now. That was when she had seen something on the television it was a report of about how a young man saved the Imperial family and showed him in action. He had black hair in a long braided ponytail, blue eyes and was dressed a white and green jumpsuit. He was kicking terrorists' heads in, hitting moves that only gods would use. Breaking necks, spines, jaws, rib cages and limbs.
"Ranma Saotome, the Emperor of Eden, once again has saved the Imperial clan. Lord Saotome and his clan had saved humanity last year by coming up with a cure for a bio-weapon that tried to destroy the human race and had defeated the paramilitary group that unleashed it on our great country." Said the reporter. She was watching the report and was interested.
'Ranma Saotome, huh?' She thought, 'I would be an excellent servant for him.' So she asked a nurse if she could talk to Dr. Sontaro. So he came in.
"Yes Ms. Kasuga?" He said.
"Is there anyway you can connect me with the 'Eden Emperor'?" The nurses were in shock, this woman wants to meet the 'Emperor'?
"Well, I am a retainer to the Saotome Clan." He said, "I'll talk to him."
That night Yuji had went to Saotome Manor or 'Eden's Garden'. "Hello Yuji," said Nodoka as she hugged him. "Please come in, how was your trip?"
"It was fine Madame Nodoka, I have someone wanting to talk to Lord Ranma." He said, Nodoka rolled her eyes and sighed. "I know, he doesn't like that."
"He doesn't see himself the way people see him. Ranma's very modest." Just then they heard him.
"You got that right mom." He said from the dining room. He walked in to the room in a T-shirt, cargo pants and slippers. "Hey Doc, who is it that wants to see me?" Nodoka wrapped her arms around her son. Yuji smiled at the way his Lady loved her son.
"It's a young woman we found in an ice cave." He said, Ranma raised an eyebrow.
"Ice cave?"
"Yes sir, we found her, thawed her out and turned out that she was alive and thriving."
"In the ice?"
"No after we thawed her out."
"Okay, why does she wants to speak with me?"
"She's been in that cube for almost 500 years. She's lost everything."
"So she's looking for someone to serve?"
"Yes..."
"If you call me 'sir', I will hurt you."
"Yes, um she wants to meet you." Ranma sighed.
"I'll visit her in the morning."
So the next morning, Ranma was in his SUV and headed for the hospital. He was in a white and green track suit, sunglasses and boots. He drove in to the hospital parking lot, parked and got out. Then he went to the floor Kasuga was on, he walked in to the room and saw her sitting on her bed. "Um, excuse me Ms. Kasuga?" He said and she looked over to him and quickly knelt in front of him. "Um..."
"I am Kasuga, I wish to serve you 'Great Eden Emperor'." She said, Ranma sighed.
"It's nice to meet you Kasuga-san. Please raise your head." She did and looked at him, his sunglasses were off. Revealing his blue eyes, "I am flattered that you wish to serve me." So they sat down and talked for a while. He sighed, "alright. I'll accept your service," she bowed her head and smiled. He sighed again, then he made a call to Ranko.
/Sup Bro?/ She said.
"Hey sis, I need some of your clothes."
/Ran, you can't fit my clothes./
"I Know That! Just get here with a shirt, pants and sandals. You'll see why when you get here."
/Alright, I'll be there you're the hospital right?/
"Yep."
/On the way./
Later Ranko had came in, she was a very gorgeous red head with blue eyes. She was dressed in a white T-shirt, jeans and sandals. She had a bag with her, "hey bro." She said and kissed him on the cheek. Then she saw Kasuga, "whoa. So this is Kasuga?"
"Yes, I am Kasuga." She said, she bowed to Ranko. They shook hands.
"Okay, here's some clothes for you. We'll let you get dressed." Said Ranko, Ranma turned his back to Kasuga, she saw this and was disheartened.
"Lord Ranma? Do you not like me?" She asked.
"It's not that, I'm a gentleman. It's impolite to see a woman change clothes." She understood.
"We'll get you a whole new wardrobe okay Kasuga." Said Ranko.
"Yes ma'am," she said. "I am done my lord." Ranma turned around to see her in a T-shirt, shorts and sandals. She was knelt to him, Ranma sighed.
"Rise Kasuga," he said and she did. "Look, I know you want to serve me and I'm cool with it. But, don't kneel to me, we are on the same level. You're probably more skilled than I am but I have saved the world countless times." He then got a really got a good look at his new employee, "you are beautiful." She blushed.
"Thank you my lord." She said, Ranma sighed.
"Anyway, I'm not comfortable with 'My Lord' or 'My Liege'. If you must call me something call me 'Boss' or I prefer you to call me Ran-kun and don't give me that 'it's not proper' stuff. We are 21 years old, we have not been 'proper' for 19 of those years." Ranko shook her head in agreement.
"Just remember that." She said.
"Yes, Ran-kun." Said Kasuga.
"That goes double for me," said Ranko. "Call me Ko-chan." Kasuga nodded.
"Okay, let's go. We'll get you signed out and head home." Said Ranma, they walked out of the room and they headed down. Ranko saw Kasuga with her head down.
"Kasuga, raise your head. You're one of us now, hold that head up with pride. You're working for us, you'd make us seem like assholes." Said Ranko, Kasuga quickly lifted her head up.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel that way." She said.
"It's alright." Said Ranma with that they left the hospital.
