Ranma Plot Bunnies
A/N This is where I'm going to put all my ideas/scenes for Ranma or Ranma crossover fics. These will be open for others to continue, provided you ask first, or I may decide to continue them later myself.
This first one was inspired by a rather old Ranma/SM cross called Furies, and the 'interesting' look into Happosai's perverted mind the author provided.
On with the show.
A furious Ranma-chan stormed into the Tendo house, sending shockwaves throughout the building as she slammed the door behind her. Kasumi, ever perceptive to the wa of the home, decided that she better see why Ranma is radiating such hatred, and whether she can calm him down. She leaves the ingredients she had been preparing for dinner, and begins moving towards the door. She then stops in shock at Ranma's blazing aura and look of murderous rage, the impressions she'd received not enough to prepare her for the sight.
Before she can collect herself and open her mouth to speak, Ranma cuts her off, saying with barely controlled fury "Kasumi, get changed, and get into the dojo, now." Without waiting for a reply, Ranma-chan storms off to the living room.
Genma and Mr. Tendo are at the Shogi board, as usual, when they start feeling an immense amount of fear, due to the strength of the rage aura coming their way.
"Saotome," Mr. Tendo said, quivering, "Who is that?"
"I don't know Tendo," replied Genma, "but we might want to think of employing the Saotome Secret Technique."
"Pop, Mr. Tendo," stated Ranma-chan, "you will go to the dojo, now. You will wait there for me and the girls. Understood?" They nod frantically, before sidling past Ranma and running to the dojo.
Ranma-chan made her way upstairs, and banged on Nabiki's door. She opened it, her usual look of annoyance fading to concern at Ranma's expression. "What is it Saotome?" she said coolly, letting none of the growing fear show in her voice.
"Nabiki, get changed into workout clothes, then get to the dojo. Where's Akane?"
"She's breaking bricks again. Didn't you hear her when you came in?"
"Good." Ranma-chan turned to go downstairs, before she glanced back and said "Oh, and Nabiki? You have five minutes. If you're late, I will break down your door and carry you out."
Soon, the Tendos and Genma are assembled in the dojo, looking at a still glowing Ranma-chan, and wondering why they were all ordered here. "Pops, Mr. Tendo, start training the girls in how to evade grapples. I am going to make some calls, and I will explain why this is important when the others arrive."
Akane furiously starts forward, ready to 'punish the pervert', only to be held back by Nabiki and Kasumi. Kasumi starts whispering in Akane's ear as Ranma leaves the dojo, after giving a final glare to the fathers.
Ranma-chan makes a quick stop in the kitchen to grab a kettle of hot water for later, then heads to the phone. She calls up Ukyo first.
"Hello, Ucchan's. Can I take your order?" comes the cheery voice of Ukyo Kuonji.
"Ukyo. Close up shop now, and get over here with Konatsu and plenty of okonomiyaki. It's time to deal with Happosai once and for all."
"Ranchan, what…" *Click*
Ranma-chan gives a little sigh, releasing a little of the rage she's been holding for so long before calling the next number.
"Nekohanten's too too good Ramen delivery. Order now, yes?" chirps Shampoo.
"Shampoo, put…" Ranma begins, before Shampoo cuts her off.
"Aiya! Airen! Shampoo so happy you call. You take Shampoo on date now, yes?"
"Not now Shampoo. Would you…"
"Silly Airen. You know Shampoo right woman for you. You be happy with Shampoo…"
"Shampoo…"
"…we have strong daughters, be envy of whole village…"
"Shampoo…"
"…and then village make me Elder, like Great-grandmother…"
"Shampoo! Stop daydreaming and put the old ghoul on!"
"Aiya! I go get her now."
Ranma hears her move away, calling out in Mandarin for Cologne who quickly pogos to the phone.
"Yes Son-in-law?"
"Elder, it is time we had a council of war."
"And who are we at war with Ranma?"
"Happosai."
"We'll be right over. Don't start without us." *Click*
Ranma-chan lets a smirk cross her face, before psyching herself up and dialing the last, and most difficult phone number she has to call.
"Greetings, from the noble Blue Thunder, Tatewaki Kuno. Who art thou?"
"Hello Kuno-sempai. I have a request."
"Pig-tailed Goddess! I shall do anything you desire. Just name the task, and thy servant shall accomplish it."
"Kuno-sempai, I would like you to call your sister to the phone, then take your servant Sasuke and join forces with my twin brother against a great evil."
"Who is thy twin brother? And what is the great evil you speak of?"
"My twin brother is Ranma Saotome, and the great evil is the pervert Happosai. Can I rely on you, Kuno-sempai?"
"I like it not, working with the foul sorcerer Saotome, but I know of this Happosai. My twisted sister has complained about the liberties he has taken with her person at great length. Since it is you asking, I shall do it. I shall fetch my sister, then myself and Sasuke shall travel to the Tendo dojo."
While Kuno leaves to fetch Kodachi, Ranma-chan takes the opportunity to use the kettle of hot water and turns back to Ranma. Placing the handset back to his ear, he soon hears approaching footsteps, and a female voice that sends shivers down his spine.
"Speak, red-haired harridan." Kodachi's voice drips venom.
"Hello Kodachi."
"Ranma-sama? Yet my foolish brother informed me that that witch wanted to speak to me."
"No, my twin sister didn't want to talk to you. She just had to ask something of your brother, and asked that he pass the phone to you afterwards. I have to ask you something now, and it will not be something you'll like."
"What do you wish of me Ranma-sama?"
"You know of Happosai, right?"
"That vile little troll that continues to steal my undergarments, and to put his filthy hands where only you are allowed? Yes, I know of him. Why?"
"You know that he draws strength from touching women and their undergarments, right?"
"Yes…"
"I'm going to kill him. Until I tell you that he is dead, you need to stay away from anywhere he has been seen. You must especially stay away from the Tendo Dojo."
"Why?! Why must you punish me so, Ranma-sama?" Kosachi wails.
"Because, he will use your presence to become stronger. He may even kill you in order to survive. For the sake of everyone, stay away until he is dead."
"What of the Tendos? Are they allowed to stay in your presence?"
"They will not help him. I will draw him in one direction, while they run in the other. Besides, the Tendo dojo is their home."
"I like it not, but since you ask it of me Ranma-sama, I will bear it. Goodbye, until you give me the glad news." *Click*
Soon, the other members of the Nerima Wrecking Crew begin arriving. Ranma directs each to wait in the living room, saying that explanations will come when everyone is together. Even Ryoga turns up, grumbling and complaining, but recognising that now would not be the best time to fight Ranma.
When the others are all there, Ranma calls Genma and the Tendos from the dojo. Kasumi immediately begins making tea to go with the okonomiyaki and ramen provided by Ukyo and the Amazons, while Ranma stands and waits for the best time to speak.
All eyes turn to him, and he begins "Happosai must die, and you are going to help me kill him."
He waits for the explosion of voices all talking at once to die out, before he continues. "Today, I found out exactly what that filth does when I lose him during one of his panty runs. It's the reason I've been so furious the whole afternoon. He messes around with little girls."
He waits again, to see the reaction to that little bombshell. Cologne is grim, Kuno confused, Akane, Shampoo and Ukyo red with rage, Genma and Mr. Tendo resigned, Mousse and Ryoga disgusted, Konatsu thoughtfully checking his ninja equipment, and Nabiki and Kasumi are white.
Kuno asks "What dost thou mean 'he messes around with little girls'?"
Ranma snorts derisively. "I mean, Kuno-baka, that Happosai is a pedophile. He rapes little girls. When I lost him today, I continued looking to try and pick up his trail. I heard crying from a nearby park, and went to investigate. He was there, hidden behind some bushes. He'd trapped a little girl, maybe 10 years old, and she was crying. He'd taken her skirt and panties off, and was starting to pull down his pants to continue his depraved act. Pops, I think that's the first time I've ever been truly glad you taught me the Neko-Ken, since that was the only thing that gave me enough speed to wound him. He started moving away as soon as my aura flared, but I still gave him some pretty severe cuts. Would have killed him then and there and put him out of our misery, but the kit needed help."
He took a breath, and said "As I stated before, Happosai must die."
A/N Interesting? Not sure if I'll continue it later or not, but maybe clearing out the plot bunnies will let me do more of A bid for Freedom.
In the park, seeing what Happosai was doing to the girl, Ranma-chan went into a Neko-Ken rage (Happosai usually triggers Ranma's curse sometime during the chase). Her conscious mind and Neko mind were in perfect agreement – that filth is about to do something to a girl too young to understand, against her will, and he must die.
