Ranma & Legato

Chapter 1

Ranma Saotome, Akane Tendo, Ryoga Hibiki, & Ukyo Kuonji arrived at the cursed springs Jusenkyo. "So this is the legendary cursed springs, Jusenkyo." Ranma said. Thier parents were about a mile away at the campsite. Ranma and his friends went ahead while thier parents were sleeping so that they could train.

"Ranma, do you think we should of left our parents back there?" Akane asked. Akane was the voice of reason in thier group, but the others didn't listen to her. She was also Ranma's Fiance, they found out about the arrangement 1 year ago when Soun Tendo and Akane went on a training trip to find Genma Saotome and his son.

"Don't worry Akane, the curse is probably just made-up to keep tourists away." Ryoga said. Ryoga was the last one to believe in something like curses. Ryoga had been friends with Ranma for three years. Ryoga hated Ranma at first, but came on the training trip when Ranma asked him to.

"Unfortunatly none of us speaks Chinese, so we won't be sure if this is the place." Ukyo said. Ukyo and Ranma had been traveling together for ten years. Ranma thinks of Ukyo like a sister and she thinks of him like a brother. Ukyo ran away from her father with Ranma and Genma when Genma stole her father's cart. She had secretly fallen in love with Ryoga, despite him having no directional sense.

"Hello, and welcome to Curse Springs Jusenkyo." said a chinese guide.

"So we are at Jusenkyo. Well, let's start training." Ranma said and jumped onto the bamboo poles.

"I'm fighting you Ranma." Ryoga said as he jumped onto a pole a few feet from Ranma.

"Boys," Akane sighed, "Well, let's train." She said jumping onto a pole close to her.

"Right." Ukyo said as she jumped on a pole and faced Akane.

"Sirs and maams, don't do that. If you fall in water you get horrible curse." the Guide tried to warn them, but they knocked each other into 4 seperate springs. "You all fall into very cursed springs." Ranma came out of his spring a girl, Ryoga came out a pig, Ukyo came out a beautiful angel, and Akane came out a kitsune. "You fall in Spring of Drowned Girl, tale of girl who drown in spring 1500 year ago, who ever fall in take body of young girl." The guide said to Ranma. "You fall in Spring of Drowned Piglet, tale of Piglet who drown in spring 1200 year ago, who ever fall in take body of piglet." He told Ryoga. "You fall in spring of Drowned Angel, tale of angel who drown in spring 400 year ago, who ever fall in spring take form of beautiful angel." He told Ukyo. "You fall in most cursed spring, Spring of Drowned Kitsune, tale of kitsune who drown in spring 3000 year ago, who ever fall in spring take form of kitsune, only curse that is irrevesable."

"Damn, wait a minute that means the other curses are reversible?" Ranma asked.

"Hot water instant cure, blue hair girl remain kitsune for life." the guide said.

"Damn it! why do I have to bee a kitsune?" Akane cried.

"If it makes you feel better, you look better as a kitsune." Ranma said. Ukyo was flying around loving her cursed form, while Ryoga was sulking.

"I have hot water in hut, please use it to change back." the guide said. Ranma and Ryoga rushed into the hut and changed back to thier uncursed forms.

'I look better as a Kitsune? Ranma must of been joking.' Akane thought. "Hey, Ranma did you mean what you said about me looking better as a kitsune?" she asked him.

"Yeah, those fox ears and tails make you look cute." Ranma said. 'Even with her attitude of being a tomboy she would be a great wife, what am i thinking? Although she is hot.' Ranma thought, glad no one could read his mind.

"Anyways, we should be getting back to the campsite. If our parents find us gone..." Akane said.

"I gotcha' we better go back guys. We also have to warn dad and Mr. Tendo not to come here." Ranma said leading them away from Jusenkyo.


Meanwhile in the amazon village Joketsuzoku,

"Wo da Ailen. Wo ai ni." a purple haired amazon said to a young man with black hair, fox ears, and 5 black fox tails.

"Wo ai ni, Shampoo." the man said to the girl.

"When marriage day, Legato" Shampoo asked the man, known as Legato.

"After the tournament." Legato told his fiancee, Shampoo.

"Shampoo, Legato, lunch time." said an old hag from inside the hut.

"Coming great-grandmother." Shampoo said.

"Coming Cologne-baachan." Legato said.


Soun and Genma were staring at the four kids with tears in thier eyes. "Soun this is a dark day, for our students have been cursed by Jusenkyo." Genma said.

"Yes, what will we do? The school of Anything Goes Martial Arts is in danger." Soun said.

"I guess we'll just have to live with our curses. Ukyo does seem to be the only one happy about getting cursed." Ranma said.

"Of course i'm happy, i'm an angel. Plus I can fly!" Ukyo said. She was flying around and had a huge smile on her face.

"Anyway, the guide told us that there is a nearby village in that direction." Ryoga said pointing to the west.

"Idiot, the village is in that direction." Akane said pointing south with one of her tails.

"Right, right." Ryoga said.

"Well then let's go there. Someone there might know of a pernament cure, plus i'm hungrey." Soun said.


A week later in Joketsuzoku,

"And the winner of the Championship match is Shampoo!" said the Amazon announcer.

"Ailen! Shampoo won!" Shampoo said hugging Legato.

"That's great Shampoo now let's claim first prize!" Legato said before turning around and seeing that the food was already eaten.

"Who ate first prize!?" Shampoo yelled.

"You mean this food? We did sorry?" said a man with black hair in a ponytail. He was with a woman with blond hair, a man with short black hair, a kitsune, a bald man, and a man with long black hair.

"If you ate the first prize then you will have to face me in combat." Legato said.

"Fine by me, my name is Ranma Saotome and I don't lose." Ranma said

"Y-y-y-your name is Saotome!?" Legato yelled.

"Yeah." Ranma said

"Your'e related to that bastard Genma Saotome!" Legato yelled.

"Genma's my dad, over there." Ranma said pointing to the fat man.

"Well then, after I beat you i'll beat the stuffing out of him." Legato said.

"What did my dad ever do to you?" Ranma said.

"Genma, do you know this young man?" Soun asked.

"Never seen him before in my life." Genma declared.

"Of course you haven't. You left my mom before I was born." Legato said his battle aura was huge from anger.

"If my dad never did anything to you then why do you hate him?" Ranma asked confusion clearly on his face.

"Because of you Genma Saotome, I never had a father. Because of you I was called a freak. Because of you I was an illagitamite child. Well, let me tell you something old man, you will have to face the wrath of Legato Saotome!" Legato roared.

"You're my son?" Genma said with shock on his face.

"You were always a womanizer Saotome." Soun said.

"I have a brother!?" Ranma yelled in confusion.

"I feel like pummaling you now." Ukyo said getting her giant spatula off of her back.

"Save some for me." Akane said cracking her fists.

"I second that." Ryoga said taking off his headband.

"Now, now, let's not be hasty. I-i-i can explain." Genma said shaking his hands to try and stop them from beating him up.

"Save it Saotome. They're obviously not going to listen." Soun said.

"Let's get right to the fight." Legato said snapping Ranma's attention back to him.

"Fine, let's go." Ranma said getting into a fighting pose.

Legato ran at Ranma and aimed for his head, but Ranma dodged and sent a kick towards Legato's midsection. Legato smirked and wrapped a tail around Ranma's leg and lifted him up. Legato then tossed Ranma towards a building. Ranma turned in time and his feet hit the building rebounding him toward Legato and thrust his fist forward to punch Legato. Legato couldn't react in time and was hit by the fist in the face. "Nice punch." Legato said.

"Thanks." Ranma replied.

"Now try mine. Katchu Tenshin Amaguriken." Legato said. Legato's punches appeared as a blur. Ranma was able to block the first 100 punches, but the other 600 connected with Ranma's body. Ranma fell to the ground, but slowly got up. "What was that? Those puncheswere faster than i've ever seen anyone punch." Ranma said.

"I'm not going to tell you." Legato said. "Take this Shi Shi Hokodan!" Legato said foucusing on the day his mother died from cancer. The blast of energy hit Ranma square in the chest and blasted him into a building. Ranma stumbled out of the rubble and collapsed. "You win." he said before slipping into unconsiousness.

"I've won. Now father time to make you pay." Legato said before beating up Genma.

"Ailen won! Ailen won! Wo ai ni!" Shampoo said glomping him.

"Wo ai ni." Legato said as he kissed shampoo.

"Well then Legato, Shampoo, it's time for the wedding." Cologne said.

"Wedding?" Akane asked.

"Yes. Mine and Shampoo's. Only members of the tribe are allowed to be there, so since none of you are members of the tribe leave." Legato said.

"Legato, why we no go with them after wedding?" Shampoo asked.

"Shampoo, are you sure you want to leave?" Legato asked. Shampoo nodded. "Fine, we'll go with them after the wedding." Legato said.


A few months later in Nerima,

"Nabiki, we got a postcard from father and Akane." said a girl with long brown hair.

"Really Kasumi? Let me see." said Nabiki, a girl with short brown hair. "It seems thier going to be arriving today with father's friend, Genma, his sons, Ranma and Legato, Ranma's friends, Ukyo and Ryoga, and Legato's wife, Shampoo."

"I'll make more food for supper." Kasumi said.

"Ok." Nabiki said. She soon heard a knock on the door. 'Father, Akane and thier friends must be here'. Nabiki thought as she went to open the door.

"Nabiki, long time no see." a girl with fox ears and 5 fox tails said as she hugged her.

"Do I know you?" Nabiki asked wondering why this girl was hugging her.

"It's me Akane, don't you remember me?" Akane asked.

"A-akane? What happened to you?" Nabiki asked.

"You better let us in so we can explain, Nabiki." Soun said.

Everyone sat around the table and Akane told Nabiki and Kasumi what happened to them. "And that's what happened." Akane finished.

"Engaged! Akane, I thought you didn't like boys." Nabiki said looking slightly pissed.

"Oh my!" Kasumi said surprised.

"Well, Ranma is different. He's not a jerk or a pervert." Akane said.

"Yeah!" Ranma said agreeing with Akane.

"Oh, suppers ready." Kasumi said hurrying to the kitchen.

"So, Nabiki. How's the high school? I was only there a week before me and dad left." Akane said.

"Well, you know who is still sure you'd come back and be his girlfriend." Nabiki said.

"I'm going to pound him tomorrow." Akane said.

"I'll pound him to if you want me too." Ranma said.

"I can't wait for school." Ukyo said.

"Whatever, I never really liked school." Ryoga said.
