As you can probably guess, I don't own Ranma 1/2. I do, however, own my original characters
and my main character's personality because Takahashi-sama has grossly neglected her. You can
sue me if you like, but I warn you, the cost of getting a lawyer will be 9,647.83 times what you
could hope to get out of me. (Give or take)
As always, this story is dedicated to my lady. Without her, my words and soul are empty (Who's
the corny one NOW Kuno? MWAA HA HA HA HA).
A Very Tragic Story
Chapter 1: an ironic announcement
We all know that there is a very tragic story of a girl who drowned over 1500 years ago,
but what is it? Who was this red headed beauty and how did she come to the springs in the first
place? Come closer dear reader and you shall learn.
Middle of nowhere, China: Approximately the year 493.
Dawn of a beautiful spring day. A young girl of 16 years stepped out of her parents home
to watch the sunrise. She stretched and wiped the last clouds of sleep from her eyes. The sun
shined off of her flowing red hair as she started her morning chores on her parents small farm.
She gathered the nights firewood, drew a few buckets of water from the near by well, and took a
days worth of feed to the grateful livestock.
She was just about to grab her basket and head down to the village market when a voice
called out to her.
"Akari, can you come in please, your father and I want to talk to you."
"I'm on my way." Akari dropped what she was doing and ran into her parents house. Her
mother and father were sitting in the front of their little farmhouse looking very serious for
some reason. The daughter sat down in front of them and waited for whatever they were about to
say.
"My darling child, you've grown from our baby girl into a fine young woman," Akari
blushed as her father said this. She knew she was beautiful but she was a modest girl and didn't
like to flaunt her well developed body, much to the chagrin of the local boys, "and your mother
and I have decided that it's time for you to take a husband. So we've started speaking to the
parents of potential suitors in order to find the best match for you."
WHAT! Akari thought as she stared at her parents. Usually marriages were arranged
when the children were still six or seven years old. Of course, that was among the nobility
while they were mere peasants. Out loud she said.
"Oh, Ok."
To be continued
I know it's a short chapter. But don't worry, I already have this story all planned out and I'll write more soon. It may be a few days since I've got final exams this week.
Please read and review.
