Reincarnated Brothers

A Ranma ½ Oh My Goddess Crossover

Disclaimer: This goes for the whole story. I do not own Ranma ½ or Oh My Goddess!

Prologue: The Stare Down

A/N: This idea hit my head a while back and it has grew in both size and originality. I keep seeing the story type of sending people back in time to fix problems but the problem I mostly see is the fact that its either Ranma, a descendant of Ranma, or one of his fiancés being sent to the past. I can only see so many ways those can play out. I decided to add my own little twist to the story and I hope everyone appreciates the breath of fresh air I put to this story type.

It's hard to imagine what goes on in the head of an eight year old child. Many doctors and psychologists have tried to deduce this for years and yet while we may have basic ideas, the exact science of child psychiatry still eludes us. A big aspect of this science that is under much debate is the interaction between children. Many people agree that this is a key component in child development, so seeing two eight year olds meeting for the first time in their lives gives us an insight on how these two young ones have adapted to society. Too bad no one was watching these two, because the act of one of them drawing his bokken and the other assuming a fighting stance shows that these two really don't like each other.

Now what went wrong with these innocent youth's development that would cause such animosity between two complete strangers? No words were exchanged but it was readily apparent they wanted to destroy the other for some unspoken reason. The glares they gave each other spoke volumes of anger and hate. Let us take a look at the stories of… Hiroshi Tendo and Daisuke Saotome? Well that explains a lot.

Hiroshi and Daisuke were looking at the house their friend used to live, the Tendo compound. Ranma Saotome and the Tendos were famous in Nerima. Even now as the house was deserted, the suburb of Tokyo made the place a landmark so that it would stand as a piece of history.

Now, why was the famous Tendo dojo deserted? The tragic story was known throughout the region. Even those who visited the landmark knew of the story, mostly because it was inscribed on the plaques in the dojo. While the tourists visited the house and took the costly tours, the local residents of Nerima only looked at the dojo from a distance. It was a painful reminder of how blind they truly were.

The story of the downfall of the Saotomes and the Tendos, a short but profound story, started at a New Year's party. Many people did not know, but Ranma and Nabiki were having a very good relationship at the time. Ranma was growing tired of the chaos that was surrounding his life, so he decided to wrestle for the control of it, before it was too late. First, Ranma had his mother adopt Ukyo into the Saotome clan. This action satisfied Ukyo's honor, because she became a Saotome, but it broke her heart. She knew that Ranma did not love her the way she loved him. Ranma knew this, and did not like it. He could only see Ukyo as a good friend, and nothing more. Next Ranma, along with Nabiki, talked with Cologne about his status with Shampoo and the Amazons. After hours of negotiations between them, Ranma became an ally of the Amazons, unfortunately, the Amazons could still try to woo Ranma into marriage, but he was no longer under the influence of the Kisses and neither were the Tendos. Ranma and Nabiki then had Kodachi admitted to the local mental hospital after a public display of her mental disability. Kodachi wasn't an actual fiancée, but they decided it was better to safe than sorry. This only left the Tendos as a contender for Ranma's affections.

While this was going on Ranma and Nabiki grew closer, but kept their new relationship a secret from others. Nabiki for the first time in her life was able to lower her personal walls, as so was Ranma. They both saw the similarities they shared and how hard the other lived. This helped bring the two together.

At the New Year's party the Tendo's held in their house things were lively. Both the Tendos and the Saotomes were celebrating the New Year with sake for all. Ranma and Nabiki ended up quite drunk and took their relationship to the next level. It was unfortunate for everyone that Akane was the one who walked in on the couple first. She saw her sister and Ranma lying next to each other naked. Her anger, being fueled by the sake she had drunken earlier, went to a level it never went before. She took her mallet and started to pound Ranma into the ground instead of the air like she normally did. By the time Nabiki was able to stop her sister it was too late. Suffering from multiple concussions and brain hemorrhages, Ranma Saotome was declared dead at the Nerima Hospital.

Akane was tried as an adult and was convicted for second-degree murder. Soon after her arrival in prison, she angered the wrong person with her temper and ended up on the wrong side of a makeshift blade, ending her life.

Soon after Akane's trial, Nodoka learned everything that had happened during the ten-year training trip from Nabiki, and demanded that Genma commit seppuku. He tried desperately to get out of it, but in the end, it was futile. He died in the Tendo dojo with Nodoka being his second.

Nabiki was depressed for a time, but heard good news that she was pregnant with Ranma's child. Helping her sister with the laundry, she slipped and took a tumble down the stairs, causing her to miscarry. She could not deal with losing the only link she had left with Ranma and later ended up following Ranma to the afterlife, overdosing on medications.

Soun Tendo, seeing everything fall apart before his eyes, just stopped caring. He never ate or moved from his spot in his bed. He slowly withered away and passed on in his sleep.

Kasumi soon disappeared afterwards. Many believe she couldn't handle being alone in a house full of sad memories, and just left, leaving no note of where she was going. Nodoka went back to the Saotome residence, living as a bitter woman with nothing left.

Everyone in Nerima knew this story. The fact about Nabiki having to take care of the bills and the money for the Tendo household came to light afterwards. Many were appalled at Soun Tendo, making his children care for the house, when it should have been him who was caring for his children. The students who had dealings with Nabiki Tendo finally realized why she did what she had done. She did everything short of selling herself to keep her family clothed and fed. Nabiki Tendo's name was now associated with honor vice malice like it once was. This, however, did nothing to everyone who realized that what went on in the Tendo household could have been avoided if someone would have helped them, instead of leaving them alone like they did. The people of Nerima learned a valuable lesson from this tragedy. Everyone in Furinkan High was told this story, as a reminder of how bad things could be even when you envy those who appear to have it good.

Hiroshi and Daisuke knew this all too well. Outside of Ranma's attackers and suitors, they were the closest to him, and even they didn't predict someone like Ranma having such a tragic end. They passed by the Tendo compound every day to remind themselves that even those who appeared god-like could fall.

"It's been two years Roshi," Daisuke stated sadly while looking at their late friend's residence.

Hiroshi nodded. "It has, hasn't it?"

Hiroshi and Daisuke stared at the house and tried to remember better times, like when Ranma was smiling as he faced a new opponent. They could still smell Kasumi's cooking coming from the kitchen and they could still feel the piercing eyes of the middle Tendo as she did her business transactions. They all seemed so real, but were only memories.

They were so lost in thought that they didn't notice a woman walk up from behind them. "So this is the famous Tendo dojo."

Hiroshi and Daisuke looked behind them and saw what they thought was a goddess. She had long platinum blonde hair, tan skin, strange blue markings on her face, and the tightest leather outfit they had ever seen on a person. She could easily be summed up as drop dead gorgeous.

After taking in the sight Hiroshi was the first to recover. "How do you do ma'am?"

The woman smiled. "Please, just call me Urd." Urd looked towards the Nerima landmark. "Such sadness coming from that house. It's easy to feel it from even here."

Daisuke nodded. "Yeah, I know what you mean."

Urd walked up to the gate of the Tendo compound. "I take it you were close to the family."

"No one can truly claim that," Hiroshi said sadly. "None of us truly knew what went on behind those walls until it was too late. It was one of the many things that caused the tragedy in the first place. Whoever said ignorance is bliss is full of shit."

Urd smiled slightly. "I can see your point. Tell me, if you each had one wish what would it be?"

Daisuke chuckled. "You know how many times we asked that very same question over the years? It's easy to try to answer that, but would it make any difference? While everyone knows how it all played out, no one could say what caused the buildup in the first place. Where did Akane's anger come from? Why didn't Mr. Tendo work?"

"Of course we can ask those questions all day long," Hiroshi continued for Daisuke, "but if we did have one wish, what would we ask for? No one's been able to really come up with anything that could definitely advert this tragedy."

Urd nodded. "I see. But what would you two wish for? I bet you two have some ideas."

Daisuke smiled. "Well, since I feel like playing along, I wish for Hiroshi to be Akane's younger brother."

Hiroshi went bug-eyed. "What! How could you say such a thing?"

Daisuke shrugged. "I figure why not? You always said you could curve Akane's temper, so put your money where your mouth is."

Hiroshi glared at Daisuke. "If you want to play like that, I wish for you to be Ranma's younger brother."

Now it was Daisuke's turn to go bug-eyed. "What! No way! Why me?"

Hiroshi smiled. "You said you could teach Ranma a thing or two about women. I'd like to see that."

Suddenly a beam of light appeared over Urd, originating from the blue mark on her forehead. Hiroshi and Daisuke were used to craziness so they just stared a bit dumbfounded, rather than totally flabbergasted like most people would. After a minute the beam of light disappeared and Urd smiled at them. "Wishes granted."

Hiroshi and Daisuke found themselves being bathed in a bright light. "Wait a minute, can't we talk about this?" Daisuke asked.

Instead of a verbal reply, he received a more intense beam of light surrounding him. Then he saw nothing.

Back in Asgard, Urd walked up to the console in front of her and smirked. "That was easy. Now to drop them off at the right time." She inputted some numbers and pressed 'ENTER'. "That should give them enough time to adjust and get the feel of things before he shows up in Nerima. Sometimes I amaze even myself at how good I am."

You've got to love the system bugs, especially the ones chewing on the wires of the same console that Urd was working with.

Daisuke felt weak as he opened his eyes. The first thing he saw were some doctors hovering over him. He could feel himself being handed off to a woman. "Here you go Saotome-san. A healthy baby boy."

'Wait a minute. BABY boy?' He tried moving his arms but he could barely move them, but it wasn't because he was bound. He was weak.

He saw Nodoka Saotome looking right at him. "You're so beautiful," She said tiredly. "My baby boy."

'Oh hell no! I'm a baby!' Daisuke began to wail and wail loudly. He wanted to show the kamis what he thought of his situation, however, he didn't have enough muscular control over his fingers.
