Crossing reality.
This is a crossover with some books I've recently read I will not tell you the title of the book right now. I'll put it at the end of the chapter. But before worrying, the series/characters used in this fic are not mine. They belong to their respectful owners. I'm not making profit writing this.

* *: Thoughts
A panda is running down the streets of Nerima Tokyo. It appears to be running from something. As we take a closer look we see that the panda is following someone and is being followed at the same time. Ok the panda doesn't know that it's being followed. It's following what seems to be a person wearing a long dark cloak low over his/her head. As the wind blows the cloak is partially blown open revealing what seems to be a male chest, corded yet not overly exaggerated muscles run across it. We then hear a definite male voice even though it sounds more melodic then any voice people might have ever heard.
"Yo, cut that out you freaking bear. I don't want to go." The young man leaps high up in the air as the panda charges him.
The young man jumps high up in the air and comes back down, kicking the panda in its chest. The panda flies back and slides to a halt. It then gets up and wipes its mouth. The young man, still wearing his cloak and resting his arms on his belt. "Like I said before old man, I don't wanna go. You have no right of choosing my fiancée for me so get over it." The young man glares at the panda, as the panda seems to get into a fighting stance. The young man sighs and remains silent.
The panda then attacks with several yabs while the young man elegantly bounces to the side, evading the attack. "I'm warning you don't push me okay. You don not want me to get serious. Next time you want something ask me before dragging me off you old freak."
The panda then drops from its stance and seems to be giving up, it shrugs its shoulder and appears to leave it at that.
The young man seeing the panda stop sighs of relief and turns around. "I'm getting out of here, I still have a lot to see there in china."
As the he walks away the panda rips a street sign out of the ground and it then picks up what seems to be large brick. After picking up the rock it slowly and silently stalks towards the young man. As it comes closer it raises the street sign and strikes.
Suddenly the young man's instincts scream to react, in the blink of an eyes he turns around while his hands shoot out from his belt and a blue and silver streak follow his hands. The a loud clang is heard as the street sign impacts with what seems to be a sword and then the blue streak slashes at the panda nearly taking of its ears. The panda manages to duck just in time and slams the brick in its paw into the young man's head.
As the brick hits we see w two wide blue eyes under the hood of the cloak. The stone shatters as it hits the young mans head. Staggering back the young man stutters something. "Guen don't." He then drops to the floor unconscious.
As the young man uttered the words we see a dark shadow on the rooftops duck back down. It seemed to have been ready to attack the panda.
As the young man goes down he is caught by the panda and raised on its shoulder. The panda then walks back a few hundred feet and picks up a large backpack. It then sets off in the opposite direction off where they were heading.
Meanwhile in the Tendo dojo we see three girls sitting at a table. From right to left we see a girl wearing clothing mostly worn by housewives with long auburn hair. Next to her we see a girl wearing sleeveless t-shirt and shorts, she has shoulder length brown hair. And last we see a girl wearing what seems to be a gi, with long dark hair and a yellow bow holding it together. Across the table sits an older man wearing a brown outfit, he has shoulder long dark hair and has a moustache. "Ranma and his father have been on a voyage of training. Recently it seems they have crossed into China."
The middle girl pipes up at the mention of someone having been to china. "Wow they've been all the way to china?"
Then from left to right the girls speak.
"What's great about walking to China?"
"Is he cute?"
How old is he? Younger man bore me."
The girl in the middle and on the right then ask in unison "What kind of guy is this Ranma?"
The older man clears his throat preparing to answer their question. "No idea."
The middle girl leans across the table looking at her father. "No idea?"
"I've never met him."
Then a loud noise is heard from the hall and the voices. "He leggo y'ol fool!!"
"Looks like we have visitors."
The middle girl and man jump up from the table and run out towards the hall. "Ooohh it must be Ranma."
"Saotome my friend we've been waiting."
As soon as they have run down the hall they come running back, okay it seems more like racing back. Both seemed to have seen something pretty scary judging from the looks on their faces. They are being followed by a huge panda carrying a cloaked figure.
"Hey you, you're scaring then." The boy manages to hit the panda on the back of the head and it goes down. With incredible grace the boy lands. Not even making the slightest noise.
The girl wearing the gi had a bored look on her face until she saw the boy land. The way he landed told her that he was experienced in martial arts. She takes a few steps closer not letting her eyes leave the panda.
"Daddy are these you're friends?"
"Oh so this panda just decided to walk into our house?"
The boy looks at the four people in front of him and bows. "My name is Ranma Saotome, sorry bout this."
As soon as the boy had mentioned his name he was picked up by the older man, hugging him to his chest. "At last you've come."
The older man then jumps around in what seems to be some kind of happy dance. The boy lets out a sigh and decides he doesn't like the old man hugging him. With a quick move he manages to slip from the mans grasp and takes a few steps back. "Before someone starts to dance with me I'd like to know with whom I'm dancing." The boy keeps his head low, hiding underneath his cloak.
"Oh, where are my manners. My name is Sound Tendo and these are my daughters." He then points to the girl with the long auburn hair. "This is my oldest daughter Kasumi and this is my second daughter Nabiki. " have points to the girl wearing the shorts. "And last this is my youngest daughter Akane." He points to where Akane had last been standing but sees she's no longer there. As he looks around he sees her near Ranma, trying to peak under the hood of his cloak.
Ranma notices the girl trying to get a peak at his face and turn his head so she is unable to see his face. "It's nice to meet you all but I don't think I can stay here."
"Oh and why can't you stay Ranma?" Soun gets closer to Ranma and tries to look at his face. "You are very welcome here and I'm sure you're father told you why you came here. If you wish to think things over you can go to the dojo for some privacy. I'm sure you will come to see things the right way. Akane, why don't you show him to the dojo?"
"Do I have to, you know how I feel about boys dad?" Akane seems to be reluctant to help out a boy but can't help but feel curious to why Ranma is hiding his face. She also noticed that he was wearing gloves.
"I know Akane but I'm sure Ranma is a nice boy so please take him to the dojo."
"Okay, follow me." Akane then takes of in the direction of the dojo and Ranma follows her. As they enter the yard she shows Ranma to the dojo and tells him that they will be waiting inside the house.
Ranma steps inside and closes the door and takes of his cloak. "Man I'm glad to get out of this thing. Sue it's comfortable but when it's gets wet it starts to stick to my body." He shakes his head to get out some of the water in his hair. He then continues to speak as if someone was with him. "Man I wish my dad had told me about what was going on sooner so I could have gotten ready. But no he had to drag me off without telling me. First he gets me cursed in China, not that that is a bad thing. Sure people might look staring at me when they see me without my cloak but it's there that I met you. Ever since I first met you I've felt like I've known you for a long time."
Ranma then steps closer to the center of the dojo and does some stretching. "Might as well get some practice done while I think things over. Sure the girls look cute but I don't know how they'll react when they see me like this."
Outside we see Akane listening at the door, she was curious with what he meant he said "when they see me like this. As silently as possible she opens the door a tiny bit and peeks in.
Little did Akane know that a dark shadow was looking at her from some bushes in the garden. She could warn Ranma but she knew that he was lonely and hoped that this young girl would be nice to Ranma. Ever since Ranma saved her from the amazons clutches she knew that he wasn't her old master and yet part of him was her old master. She also knew when Ranma took her to where he had been cursed and showed her the spring he fell in that her old master was dead. Ranma had seen the sad look in her eyes and comforted her. As Ranma held her she felt a heat so much alike to her old master that she chose there and then to stay with him at all times. She had even urged Ranma to jump back into the spring and when he did he came back up with his masters belongings. She knew that she was taking a risk letting the girl see Ranma like this but she wanted her master to be happy and she couldn't sense any danger coming from the curious girl. Of course of the girl posed to be a threat to her master she would make sure he wouldn't get hurt. She continued to watch as the girl peeked into the dojo.
First Akane was unable to see Ranma and she guessed he was somewhere to the side where she couldn't see him. All of a sudden she saw something that made her eyes go wide. There was Ranma going through a complex kata with never before seen grace and ease. Yet this wasn't what shocked her, what shocked her was the way Ranma looked. He was wearing what seemed to be chain armor yet it made no sound. His hair flowed freely through the air, like white manes moving through the air. It moved fluidly with Ranma's moves yet never covering his dark skinned face. It was his skin that got Akane's attention. It was a dark blue-gray color. She also saw that his hands had the same color and knew that this was what he meant with "when they see me like this". She could understand that people would look weirdly at someone with a skin like that. She also knew that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover unless it was a boy. She was stuck between curiosity and her dislike of boys. Before she could decide she felt something brush her legs. As she felt something brush her leg she gasped, trying not to scream.
Little did Akane know that Ranma heard her gasp and was already reacting to it on pure instinct. He spun in the doors direction and with one big ever so silent step he was at the door. He saw the small opening and pulled open the door and grasped who ever was standing out there and used a shoulder throw to down his opponent.
Akane saw the door open and before she knew what had happened she was on her back. Looking up at the surprised face of Ranma. "S-S-S-Sorry for s-s- spying on you." Akane tried to get up and managed to slip and fall down again. She was to shaken to get up. She then felt a strong slender hand take her hand and help her up. She suddenly realized that that had to be Ranma's hand, a boy's hand and quickly pulled her hand from her grasp.
Ranma just huffed as he saw how Akane reacted to his touch. "Humph, figured that something like this would happen when someone saw me like this. Don't worry it's not a sickness so you get it. Now tell me what's someone like you doing spying?"
Akane looked at her hand and then at Ranma's dark skinned hand. "I'm sorry it's just that I don't like boys and you are a boy. I reacted like tat because you where a boy and not because of you're skin. Father told me not to judge someone by the way they look."
*Yeah sure then how is it that you judge boys by their looks?* Ranma relaxed and sat down still looking at the girl in front of him. He was glad that it wasn't the dark skin that startled her. "Ok I see, now would you mind telling me why you where spying on me like that?"
"I wasn't spying, this is my house you know. I was just coming over so see if you needed anything." Akane hoped he would buy her lies but when she saw the smirk on his face she knew that he knew.
"Oooh. We'll now that you mention it there is something I need." Ranma's smile grew wider as he thought of the look on Akane's face when he called in his friend. "Yo Guen why don't you come in. I know you're out there." Ranma called to the door
Akane looked at the door and wondered whom he had just called. Then the door slid open and a large black paw stepped into the dojo. The paw was big enough to cover an adult mans head. Akane gasped when she saw the paw but couldn't make a sound. Then the door opened even further as a large head entered the dojo, followed by a sleek yet muscled body of a large 600-pound panther. The panther strode in and even closed the door. She hen walked towards Ranma and stopped next to him and lay down next to him placing her head on Ranma's lap while the rest of her body came very close to Akane. If she'd reach out she would be able to touch the huge panther. "W-w-w, h-h-h I-I-I." To put it in simple terms, Akane was at a loss of words.
"Don't worry she won't hurt you. You see this is my friend Guenhwyvar, she's a black panther as you might have noticed." Ranma was enjoying the look on Akane's face, this would teach her to spy and lie. He placed a hand on Guenhwyvars head and stroked it as the panther started to purr.
Akane was pulled between absolute terror and curiosity and guess which won? Curiosity. "Where did you get a panther like this? I'm sure you didn't buy it somewhere."
Ranma looked at the girl in front of him. "If I tell you, you have to give me your word that you'll never speak to anyone about this, deal?"
Akane thought about his words and decided that she had to know what was going on here. "Very well deal."
"Good then I'll get started. I'm going to give you a short version of the story. As you may or may not know my father and me have just returned from China. When we where there he took me to this place called Jusenkyo. It's a legendary training ground. It consists of many small springs, cursed springs."
"What do you mean by cursed?"
"You see the way I appear to you now isn't what I really look like. You see when we came to the training ground we…
Flashback:
"Ah here we are Ranma, what do you say we get started?" Genma put down his backpack and hoped up to a pole.
Ranma quickly put down his pack and followed. "Sure thing pops." He leaped up and landed up on a pole facing his father.
The guide stood staring at the two foreign men. "Please sir, It very dangerous place. It very dangerous if you fall in spring.
Both Ranma and Genma ignored the guides' words as they attacked.
Genma was the first to attack. "OHSHO THO!" He tried to kick Ranma but Ranma simply dodged his attack and kicked Genma. Genma after having been kicked landed into one of the springs.
Ranma landed on one of the other poles and stared at the water. Suddenly a large black and white from sprung from the spring and landed opposite to Ranma. Ranma then found himself face to face with a large panda. "W-what?"
The guide quickly ran to the edge of one of the springs taking care to stay at a safe distance. "Oh no that spring of drowned panda. It very tragic story of panda who drowned there 2000 year ago. Now whoever falls in takes form of panda."
"What? You didn't say anything about..…" Ranma jumped up as the panda attacked him and barely managed to dodge his now pandafied fathers attacks. He flipped and landed on another pole and just when he turned he saw a black and white blur in front of him. The next thing he knew he was flying through the air. He saw that he was heading towards some bushes and sighed thinking he would land on dry ground.
As Ranma hit the bushes he went straight through and we hear a loud splash.
The guide quickly runs to the bushes and pushes them aside, revealing what seemed to be a springs. "Look, there new spring here, not know what this one do." The guide looked at the water surface as the panda walked up next to him, also looking at the water.
As soon as Ranma hit the water he felt a sharp pain shoot through his body and he sand to the bottom. He came down in some plants growing on the bottom. Because of the pain Ranma was squirming and as soon as he landed in the plants he got entangled. Slowly the pain subsided and Ranma stopped squirming. Ranma then realized what had happened and tried to move. The plants wouldn't let him go. He pulled and tried to rip loose but the plants where too strong. He then tried to find something to help him get out, a sharp rock or alike. As he moved his hands he saw that they had a different color, it was then that he felt that his body had changed. He now had a slender and well-muscled body. His body felt a lot more agile. He then quickly shook his head to clear it. He would check himself out after he got out of here. He then began to search for a rock or something while in his head he was screaming to get up, out of the water. He didn't feel that his body was beginning to be pulled up by some unknown force. As he looked his eyes caught sight of what seemed to be a belt with two scabbards. He reached for the belt and as soon as he touched it he felt a feeling of relief go through him. Without thinking he put on the belt and placed his hands on the hilts of the swords in the scabbards. As his hands touched the scabbard he was flooded with images of how to use these two scimitars. He drew them and started to move his hands quickly gaining speed and within moments he was cutting the plants to tiny pieces. As soon as the last plant was cut he shot up and out of the water. Ranma gasped for air, gulping in the life giving gas. It wasn't until he heard the guides scream that he noticed that he hadn't come down yet. He looked down and saw that he was floating high in the air.
Author's notes: Now I'll tell you the books I've read to give me the idea for this fic. The titles of the books are: The Dark Elf Trilogy, The Icewind Dale Trilogy and part of the Legacy of the Drow by R.A. Salvatore.
Now that you know this I would very much like you who read me to tell me if I should continue this fic. You see, as some of you may know I already have two working titles and one title on hold. But I felt like writing this first chapter to see if people would like this idea I had. If I get e negative advise I won't continue this but if it's positive I'll go on writing. That is I'll go on writing as soon as I find a good point to temporary suspend one of my other stories because I can't work on three stories at the same time. I hope you people are willing to tell me how you like this story and if I should continue.
This is a crossover with some books I've recently read I will not tell you the title of the book right now. I'll put it at the end of the chapter. But before worrying, the series/characters used in this fic are not mine. They belong to their respectful owners. I'm not making profit writing this.

Meanwhile in the Tendo dojo we see three girls sitting at a table. From right to left we see a girl wearing clothing mostly worn by housewives with long auburn hair. Next to her we see a girl wearing sleeveless t-shirt and shorts, she has shoulder length brown hair. And last we see a girl wearing what seems to be a gi, with long dark hair and a yellow bow holding it together. Across the table sits an older man wearing a brown outfit, he has shoulder long dark hair and has a moustache. "Ranma and his father have been on a voyage of training. Recently it seems they have crossed into China."
The middle girl pipes up at the mention of someone having been to china. "Wow they've been all the way to china?"
Then from left to right the girls speak.
"What's great about walking to China?"
"Is he cute?"
How old is he? Younger man bore me."
The girl in the middle and on the right then ask in unison "What kind of guy is this Ranma?"
The older man clears his throat preparing to answer their question. "No idea."
The middle girl leans across the table looking at her father. "No idea?"
"I've never met him."
Then a loud noise is heard from the hall and the voices. "He leggo y'ol fool!!"
"Looks like we have visitors."
The middle girl and man jump up from the table and run out towards the hall. "Ooohh it must be Ranma."
"Saotome my friend we've been waiting."
As soon as they have run down the hall they come running back, okay it seems more like racing back. Both seemed to have seen something pretty scary judging from the looks on their faces. They are being followed by a huge panda carrying a cloaked figure.
"Hey you, you're scaring then." The boy manages to hit the panda on the back of the head and it goes down. With incredible grace the boy lands. Not even making the slightest noise.

"Daddy are these you're friends?"
"Oh so this panda just decided to walk into our house?"
The boy looks at the four people in front of him and bows. "My name is Ranma Saotome, sorry bout this."
As soon as the boy had mentioned his name he was picked up by the older man, hugging him to his chest. "At last you've come."
The older man then jumps around in what seems to be some kind of happy dance. The boy lets out a sigh and decides he doesn't like the old man hugging him. With a quick move he manages to slip from the mans grasp and takes a few steps back. "Before someone starts to dance with me I'd like to know with whom I'm dancing." The boy keeps his head low, hiding underneath his cloak.
"Oh, where are my manners. My name is Sound Tendo and these are my daughters." He then points to the girl with the long auburn hair. "This is my oldest daughter Kasumi and this is my second daughter Nabiki. " have points to the girl wearing the shorts. "And last this is my youngest daughter Akane." He points to where Akane had last been standing but sees she's no longer there. As he looks around he sees her near Ranma, trying to peak under the hood of his cloak.
Ranma notices the girl trying to get a peak at his face and turn his head so she is unable to see his face. "It's nice to meet you all but I don't think I can stay here."
"Oh and why can't you stay Ranma?" Soun gets closer to Ranma and tries to look at his face. "You are very welcome here and I'm sure you're father told you why you came here. If you wish to think things over you can go to the dojo for some privacy. I'm sure you will come to see things the right way. Akane, why don't you show him to the dojo?"
"Do I have to, you know how I feel about boys dad?" Akane seems to be reluctant to help out a boy but can't help but feel curious to why Ranma is hiding his face. She also noticed that he was wearing gloves.
"I know Akane but I'm sure Ranma is a nice boy so please take him to the dojo."
"Okay, follow me." Akane then takes of in the direction of the dojo and Ranma follows her. As they enter the yard she shows Ranma to the dojo and tells him that they will be waiting inside the house.

"I wasn't spying, this is my house you know. I was just coming over so see if you needed anything." Akane hoped he would buy her lies but when she saw the smirk on his face she knew that he knew.
"Oooh. We'll now that you mention it there is something I need." Ranma's smile grew wider as he thought of the look on Akane's face when he called in his friend. "Yo Guen why don't you come in. I know you're out there." Ranma called to the door
Akane looked at the door and wondered whom he had just called. Then the door slid open and a large black paw stepped into the dojo. The paw was big enough to cover an adult mans head. Akane gasped when she saw the paw but couldn't make a sound. Then the door opened even further as a large head entered the dojo, followed by a sleek yet muscled body of a large 600-pound panther. The panther strode in and even closed the door. She hen walked towards Ranma and stopped next to him and lay down next to him placing her head on Ranma's lap while the rest of her body came very close to Akane. If she'd reach out she would be able to touch the huge panther. "W-w-w, h-h-h I-I-I." To put it in simple terms, Akane was at a loss of words.
"Don't worry she won't hurt you. You see this is my friend Guenhwyvar, she's a black panther as you might have noticed." Ranma was enjoying the look on Akane's face, this would teach her to spy and lie. He placed a hand on Guenhwyvars head and stroked it as the panther started to purr.
Akane was pulled between absolute terror and curiosity and guess which won? Curiosity. "Where did you get a panther like this? I'm sure you didn't buy it somewhere."
Ranma looked at the girl in front of him. "If I tell you, you have to give me your word that you'll never speak to anyone about this, deal?"
Akane thought about his words and decided that she had to know what was going on here. "Very well deal."
"Good then I'll get started. I'm going to give you a short version of the story. As you may or may not know my father and me have just returned from China. When we where there he took me to this place called Jusenkyo. It's a legendary training ground. It consists of many small springs, cursed springs."
"What do you mean by cursed?"
"You see the way I appear to you now isn't what I really look like. You see when we came to the training ground we…
Flashback:
"Ah here we are Ranma, what do you say we get started?" Genma put down his backpack and hoped up to a pole.
Ranma quickly put down his pack and followed. "Sure thing pops." He leaped up and landed up on a pole facing his father.
The guide stood staring at the two foreign men. "Please sir, It very dangerous place. It very dangerous if you fall in spring.
Both Ranma and Genma ignored the guides' words as they attacked.
Genma was the first to attack. "OHSHO THO!" He tried to kick Ranma but Ranma simply dodged his attack and kicked Genma. Genma after having been kicked landed into one of the springs.
Ranma landed on one of the other poles and stared at the water. Suddenly a large black and white from sprung from the spring and landed opposite to Ranma. Ranma then found himself face to face with a large panda. "W-what?"
The guide quickly ran to the edge of one of the springs taking care to stay at a safe distance. "Oh no that spring of drowned panda. It very tragic story of panda who drowned there 2000 year ago. Now whoever falls in takes form of panda."
"What? You didn't say anything about..…" Ranma jumped up as the panda attacked him and barely managed to dodge his now pandafied fathers attacks. He flipped and landed on another pole and just when he turned he saw a black and white blur in front of him. The next thing he knew he was flying through the air. He saw that he was heading towards some bushes and sighed thinking he would land on dry ground.
As Ranma hit the bushes he went straight through and we hear a loud splash.
The guide quickly runs to the bushes and pushes them aside, revealing what seemed to be a springs. "Look, there new spring here, not know what this one do." The guide looked at the water surface as the panda walked up next to him, also looking at the water.
As soon as Ranma hit the water he felt a sharp pain shoot through his body and he sand to the bottom. He came down in some plants growing on the bottom. Because of the pain Ranma was squirming and as soon as he landed in the plants he got entangled. Slowly the pain subsided and Ranma stopped squirming. Ranma then realized what had happened and tried to move. The plants wouldn't let him go. He pulled and tried to rip loose but the plants where too strong. He then tried to find something to help him get out, a sharp rock or alike. As he moved his hands he saw that they had a different color, it was then that he felt that his body had changed. He now had a slender and well-muscled body. His body felt a lot more agile. He then quickly shook his head to clear it. He would check himself out after he got out of here. He then began to search for a rock or something while in his head he was screaming to get up, out of the water. He didn't feel that his body was beginning to be pulled up by some unknown force. As he looked his eyes caught sight of what seemed to be a belt with two scabbards. He reached for the belt and as soon as he touched it he felt a feeling of relief go through him. Without thinking he put on the belt and placed his hands on the hilts of the swords in the scabbards. As his hands touched the scabbard he was flooded with images of how to use these two scimitars. He drew them and started to move his hands quickly gaining speed and within moments he was cutting the plants to tiny pieces. As soon as the last plant was cut he shot up and out of the water. Ranma gasped for air, gulping in the life giving gas. It wasn't until he heard the guides scream that he noticed that he hadn't come down yet. He looked down and saw that he was floating high in the air.
Author's notes: Now I'll tell you the books I've read to give me the idea for this fic. The titles of the books are: The Dark Elf Trilogy, The Icewind Dale Trilogy and part of the Legacy of the Drow by R.A. Salvatore.
Now that you know this I would very much like you who read me to tell me if I should continue this fic. You see, as some of you may know I already have two working titles and one title on hold. But I felt like writing this first chapter to see if people would like this idea I had. If I get e negative advise I won't continue this but if it's positive I'll go on writing. That is I'll go on writing as soon as I find a good point to temporary suspend one of my other stories because I can't work on three stories at the same time. I hope you people are willing to tell me how you like this story and if I should continue.
