After the failed wedding
It was a normal day in the Tendo house "Ranma you jerk" then after a mallet strike he went flying while shouting "uncute tomboy "as normal as you can get any way after a while we see a red haired girl return to the house "Kasumi do you have hot water for me" the cursed martial artist asked "here it's Ranma kun " said the angel of the house "thanks Kasumi" after a dose of hot water and gender change "I'll be in the dojo " " o.k ".
In the dojo, a while later
"I can't stand it anymore" said Ranma as he went to one of his most complicated kata "the engagements" a punch "the rivals" a spin with kick as he practice he is unaware that his ki is flaring and changing "the madness" dodge a punch and a head lock "the chaos" a leg sweep then with a look of determination he said "I am going to end it as soon as possible" the aura consumed him and he fainted.
Outside of the dojo , moments earlier
Kasumi saw the light of the aura and goes inside and see Ranma unconscious and call Akane then together they lift him to his room while Genma was mumbling about the boy getting soft and they call doctor Tofu to check him (while Kasumi is shopping for grocery :) ) "very strange "mumbling doctor Tofu , "what is it doc?" Nabiki the mercenary asked "his ki paths is changing and changing every time I see it." the doc said , "and that means ?" asks Akane "I don't know but nothing physically is wrong with him you should ask elder cologne ."tofu said , "ok doc" replied Nabiki.
After Cologne came
"do you know what happened to him or is it another of yours and shampoo's schemes "the hotheaded tomboy asks , "no it isn't something I or my great granddaughter did …." Elder Cologne before she was interrupted "Shampoo will never hurt husband not like kitchen destroyer" interrupted Shampoo in a huff
"it isn't like you didn't before" yelled Akane and they looked like they were about to fight "girls , stop" elder Cologne ordered with a commanding voice after they stopped " as I was saying I didn't see nor heard of something like that but by my estimation he will be up in the morning and we should give him some space till we know what happened" cologne said , "ok elder thank you do you want some tea "Kasumi replied , "no thank you Kasumi , let's go back Shampoo" said the elder nothing that important happened that night.
End of prelude
Mysterious I know but I'll be explaining in later chapters , in this timeline Nodoka has never knew Ranma is Ranko and she is a key player in this story.
Chapter (1): what happened to Ranma?
The morning after
Genma woke up and tried to throw his son out of the window (not caring what the elder said yesterday) but suddenly he found him to be the one tossed to the bond and soon he changed to a panda like usual but he found his son saying "try this again and trust me I'll break your arm , old man" cold threateningly meant the he was serious and it made Genma gulp and sweat then Ranma return to sleeping again until Akane woke up and tried to throw a bucket of cold water at him but it was evaporated be the hot aura he put forth then with a glare that promised pain he said "hey tomboy , try this again and you'll see what happen to you am I making myself understood " , Akane nodded with hesitation while thinking ' how could he treat me like this and since when he could do this' then said "go hurry or we'll be late for school " , "I'll be ready in 5 minutes" Ranma replied while leaving Kasumi called them to take their lunches "I'm sure it'll be as delicious as usual" Kasumi beamed for the praise and waved for him while he was running to school then Akane and Nabiki ran in order not to be late for school when the approached school they heard Kuno say his usual rant about "saving the fierce tigress and the pigtailed goddess from the vile clutches of the foul sorcerer Saotome" but unlike usual Ranma throw a very small white ki ball at him and he immediately fell unconscious "what the heck was that ? " asked Akane , "the nice killer technique " Ranma answered , "and what does it do ? " asked Nabiki fear for her primary cash source eh number 1 customer , "it sends the victim to near death like state and let him see his life from another perspective then he return like nothing happened " lectures Ranma in his teacher like voice , "and how much that takes ? " asked Nabiki angry for losing her primary cash source ,"about 2 weeks" replied Ranma unphased , "and why didn't you just beat him like usual ?" asked Akane , "for 2 reasons first I did it lots of time and he had never learnt nor changed this time it may be life changing experience for him" lectured Ranma , "and the second one is ? " asked Nabiki awestruck by his analysis "I got bored from fighting him" said Ranma then everyone face fell "ha ha ha ha ha ha , you got to see your faces" joked Ranma then everyone ran in order not to be late and Nabiki takes Kuno to the nurse while adding it to his tab
Inside the classroom
While miss Hinako was teaching in her childlike form she noticed a sleeping Ranma then she said "hey, mister Saotome wake up" Ranma didn't wake up "wake up you delinquent " this time he snorted while sleeping "ok you asked for it" and get a 5 yen coin from her pocket and everyone got away from him scared then she makes her Hapo 5 yen technique when the tunnel touches Ranma he woke up and instead of him being drained Hinako found herself being drained and throw the coin to stop the technique then with a sputtering voice she asked "how ?", "simple the tunnel that absorbs ki is 2-way tunnel not a 1 way one" Ranma said smirking "what do you mean ?" Hinako asked "the tunnel takes ki from the most-focused aura to the least-focused one which is normally your aura but I made my aura more unfocused than yours so I drained you instead of reverse " "ok I got it now" Hinako said , "try doing it again I'll drain you completely got that , child woman" asked Ranma she nodded fearful of him then he returned to sleep like nothing happened.
Lunch time
Ranma jumped from the window as usual and sat under his favorite tree then he heard the distinguished sound of Shampoo's bicycle bell but he side stepped and she hits the tree with her bike "that no happen before" said Shampoo dazed then she said "husband you want too delicious ramen Shampoo made then we go date " said shampoo as enthusiastic as ever "no I don't want your ramen or going to a date with you" declined Ranma , "why husband no love Shampoo ?" said Shampoo with teary eyes "no I don't love you" Ranma said, "but why husband no love Shampoo ? " said shampoo while crying "because I'm not your husband" said Ranma coldly, "but amazon law says …" said Shampoo , "I don't care about your precious amazon law all of the amazon can go to hell and I won't care" interrupted Ranma then she ran crying towards the cat café "you could have told her in a nicer way you know" Akane asked not certain to be happy because he dealt with Shampoo or to be angry at the way he treated Shampoo "any other way she wouldn't have understood" said Ranma , "how insensitive and uncaring to others emotions can you be ?" Akane after decided to return the familiar anger "as much as they came from" replied Ranma with a smirk and he continued eating as nothing happened
meanwhile with Nabiki
she lost a lot of money because Ranma unexpected behavior and was thinking 'he isn't acting like normal he is finishing things not letting things go as usual but controlling them Kuno , his father , Akane and now Shampoo with no regrets and even crying girls didn't affect him who knows which one will be the next but I have to control this and talk to him but not now when he cools off ' Decided Nabiki and trying to cut her losses from the bets
After school
Ranma was running on the fence and Akane was running to catch him but suddenly they heard mouse shouting "how dare you do this to my Shampoo? Saotome you'll pay dearly for making her cry" then he threw his weapons at him like usual Ranma sidestepped them as usual but a black ball of ki appeared in his hand and he put it in mousse's sleeve then he feels tingly in his hand"what the heck had you done ? " said Mousse , "oh I just sealed your hidden weapons technique " said Ranma as he was talking about the weather , "no it can't be true " said Mousse fearfully and tried to summon some weapons but couldn't and thought ' I knew I couldn't beat him but now I don't even stand a chance ' and he ran away with that thought " you could always beat him without sealing his fighting style you know" said Akane , "like Kuno he'll never learn but unlike Kuno he knows a very dangerous style but doesn't control his emotion and it could be very dangerous to innocent bystanders, go home Akane I have something I have to do" Ranma said , 'who does he think he is to order me around like this' thought Akane but she didn't find him around 'oh I know I'll make a dinner for him and he'll beg me to forgive him' though akane while walking towards the Tendo home
Near the bathhouse in Nermia after sometime
Happosai was chased by angry mob of women (he stole their bras and panties) while avoiding them he was caught unaware by side kick from Ranma who jumped from a roof nearby "thanks Ranma " said the women while beating Happosai "die you panty thief" one of them shouted after the mob finished beating him and left Ranma approached and said I want my mastery certificate , old freak", "here it's" said Happosai as he pulled a scroll from weapon space "huh, I thought we'd fight for it" said Ranma confused , "after you learnt the scrolls in my room no thank you and I was expecting it after your fight with herb so I prepared it and I named my heir as you know" Happy said as if insulted , "you knew about the scrolls and still let me learn them strange but welcomed surprise , freak" the pigtailed martial artist said amused , "you know about our style the student learn by himself and even Genma and Soun never learnt that so I never gave them a certificate , and would it kill you if you show some respect" asked Happosai , "for you respect never ,bye freak" said the cursed teen , "ok, sweet" and with that he throws cold water at Ranma and jumped to grab her chest but found a masculine one instead as Ranma with his flaming aura evaporated the water then with a kick he throws him into a low earth orbit (Leo) "perverts never learn and I even considered respecting him" said a disgusted Ranma then he goes to the Tendo estate
The Tendo estate dinner time
Ranma came and asked for a dinner and found Akane bringing some strange green and glowing thing from the kitchen she made and claimed to be edible food "what is that Akane" wondered Ranma , "meatloaves and rice and soup" replied Akane angry , "is it supposed to look like this" asked Ranma , "are you saying I'm bad cock" said Akane in a dangerous tone with red angry aura around her , "terrible cock in fact" replied Ranma smirking , "Ranma you jerk" with that she ran towards him with her trusty mallet but instead of hitting him as usual he broke the mallet with the breaking point technique "now you eat it" said Ranma cruelly and dropped all of the food in her mouth and she was throwing up and turned green after that "listen and listen well you uncute tomboy I'll never eat anything you cock unless you tastes it before me ,got it" said Ranma in a low dangerous tone Akane nodded then ran crying towards her room while still green from the food "how dare do you do this to your fiancée, ungrateful boy" with that Genma came with mighty sweep towards him but Ranma dodges and with a right hook he breaks Genma's right arm and with a leg sweep he breaks his left leg while Soun was in his demon head form shouting" how dare you treat my little girl like that go apologize at once" Ranma with his aura distribute the demon head and says "no one tells me what I do got that" Soun nodded while wailing about the schools will never be joined "take your friend to Tofu's clinic " with that soun carries Genma to the clinic and Ranma go to practice sometime in the dojo
After a while in the akane's room
The sisters sat together to discuss what happened to Ranma and after Akane tells Nabiki about mousse incident and they tell Kasumi what the watched through the day Nabiki says "we better watch how we treat him he doesn't have mercy and doesn't care about his opponents and doesn't take order or abuse from anyone" Kasumi
said" I think we pushed him toward his limit of patience, poor Ranma" kasumi says , "but with how he fought Kuno and Mousse that means he was holding back , Akane don't try to hit him at any time got that" ordered Nabiki , " but don't you see how he treats me" complained Akane while still throwing up from eating her food , "I'd have done the same by with another way " said Nabiki , "Nabiki is right " says Kasumi , "I'll talk to him " said Kasumi in no argument tone of voice "but what if he hits you" asked Akane , "don't worry he is always nice to me " said Kasumi the she left towards the dojo "do you think she'll be alright" asked a worried Akane , "even today he still treat her very good ,don't worry and didn't you noticed he never started a fight he finished it " said a convinced Nabiki
At the dojo
Kasumi come and sees Ranma training "can I talk to you for a bit" she asked , "of course you can" Ranma replied , "what you did to Akane wasn't very nice" the angel said , " but her food is terrible "Ranma replied stubbornly , "but she worked very hard on it" said Kasumi , "that doesn't mean it's good or else all of you'd eat from it" said Ranma , "you are right , sorry for not stopping her from making her food" replied Kasumi , " don't care about it " said Ranma , "you aren't ranma we know ,right" said Kasumi , "in a way I'm him" said Ranma , "what do you mean" asked a curious Kasumi , "I'm part from his personality" explained Ranma , "how ?, is there more parts of the main personality ?" asked Kasumi , "yes there is more" replied Ranma , "but you didn't tell the answer of the first question" asked Kasumi , "it isn't the best time to explain it" replied Ranma , "ok are we in danger from them " asked Kasumi , "don't worry no one will ever try to harm you , tofu and my mom" replied Ranma , "that's good but why us and what about the others" asked Kasumi , "it depend on them and we are clearing the mess the panda made for sure" said Ranma , "I hope they'll be alright ,will you be the one here tomorrow "asked Kasumi , "I don't know " replied Ranma ,"o.k , let's go I made a new dinner after everyone ate dinner they went to sleep everyone wondering what'll happen tomorrow
Inside Ranma's mind
Ranma meets the female version of him (I'll call her Ranko to avoid confusion)
"I know you had to do this but couldn't you have done it in another way " asked Ranko , "they wouldn't have understood I'm serious if I did it in another way" argued Ranma , "ok I'll be here tomorrow " says Ranko , "whatever , but don't embarrass me " says Ranma , "when'll you realize I'm part of you" says Ranko, "whatever I'll take care of the kid" says Ranma , " yay , let's go to play" says a young child like Ranma
End of chapter (1)
Author's notes
Oh, a very long chapter! You think you got the plot? not really those were only some hints.
what part of Ranma was that one? and from what parts are Ranko and child Ranma? how were they created? are there more personality other than the three I mentioned ? Why Kasumi, Tofu, and Nodoka aren't to be harmed? I said Nodoka'll have important part where is she? She doesn't even know about the curse in my A .U.
All of those and some more in the next chapters
Some hints to those who likes to predict what'll happened Nabiki's thoughts inside the school, the discussion in Akane's room, Kasumi's talk with Ranma are essentials to the story but not important in this chapter I wrote them just to challenge you , try to expect what'll happen I challenge you?
This is my first fic so please be nice and don't flame me but if you want to tell me something or suggest some pairings please use PMS
the second chapter is ready and i'll upload it soon but i need a pre reader _badly in fact_ if someone want to volunteer please tell me
