Hello sports fans, and welcome to my second fic! I came up with this fic about… god knows how long ago… but anyways, I'd like to thank anyone who's chosen my fic to read for their enjoyment, and I'd like to encourage constructive criticism. Thank you again for choosing my fic, now please enjoy it!

Ranma was running at full speed through the forests on Mt. Quanjing, Bayankala Range, Qinghai province, China. He was running from none other than: Herb. Yes, he was running from the successor to the throne of the Musk Dynasty. Why you ask? Well, that's what we'll have to find out…

Chpt. 1: Jusenkyo's secret

"What the hell did I do now?!?!"

"Ranma Saotome, you imbecile, you already forgot what you did to me? How dare you!!"

"How dare I, HOW DARE I?!?!"

"You have only made a fool of me ever since you came for me to get the damn pail of preservation! I will now end your life by whatever means necessary!!"

"Dammit all I did was try to get the pail without having to fight you, and by coincidence, happened to make you look like a fucknut in the process!! What's the harm in that?!"

"You have made me a disgrace to my clan, you fool!! What else would I hunt you down for?!"

"I don't know, eating your food?"

"You are more idiotic that I'd ever imagined… no matter! I shall crush you!!"

"AAAHHHHHH!!!" with that, Ranma continued to run like there was no tomorrow toward a very familiar place… "What the hell? JUSENKYO?!?!" yes indeed folks… he ended up in the one place he never thought possible to get to in such short time he had. The reason for Ranma coming in the first place was to get the pail of perseveration from Herb. Why? Well, because he'd needed to take care of some business back at home… Anyway, the reason for Herb chasing Ranma… is because 1: Ranma made a fool out of Herb through means of trickery to get the Pail, and 2: Herb was given the word from his higher ups (Think of these 'higher ups' as being Elders…) had said that he'd brought shame upon their clan, and both he and his clan wouldn't be redeemed until Ranma is either defeated in honorable combat or killed by any means necessary. Now, Ranma knew he'd screwed with Herb enough to get the pail, which was a good thing to get, however, he screwed with the Musk so much, that Herb was ordered to assassinate him for their 'honor'. Well, Ranma saw that if he fought Herb now, he'd have a slight chance at defeating him; however, he didn't think that he'd be able to fight him at Jusenkyo. So, he decided to fight Herb. "Hey Herb, listen! I'll fight you, but if I win, you back off for the rest of yours and my days, got it?"

"Will do, you fool!!" with that, they had a prolonged fight that lasted about a half an hour, and Ranma came out victorious. When Herb left Ranma, he'd forgotten the pail of preservation. Ranma was happy about it, but he also felt bad for sending home Herb in utter defeat. Oh well though, when you pull a miraculous win outa' yer' ass at the last minute, why wouldn't you be happy, ya know? Well, now Ranma decided he'd head to Jusenkyo and find that spring of drown man and get rid of this damn curse once and for all!! "Hello sir! No doubt you come back for spring of drown man, no?"

"That's right mister guide!"

"Well, come this way!" with that, the guide led Ranma into one of two caves on the side of the training ground. When they got to the end of the cave, they found a giant pool of glowing spring water. 'Yes!! Finaly, I'll be a whole guy again!!'

"Not gonna be a girl again! Not gonna be a girl again!" Ranma sang as he jumped into the air and dove into the spring. When he became submerged, the water began to spark and glow even brighter. Soon, Ranma came out as a guy. When he splashed himself with cold water, courtesy of the Jusenkyo guide, he stayed a man. "Awright!!" Ranma danced a little jig before he noticed something floating to the serface; it was the silhouette of a young girl. "What the… hell?" all of a sudden, the form sprung upward, and latched onto Ranma. Ranma was half expecting a giant mallet-sama to come crashing down on him at that very moment; then, he remembered that he was alone in China, and that Akane was back at home waiting eagerly to pound his sorry ass for leaving Nerima in search of the damn spring. Well, now that the reflexes had worn off, he decided to look at the girl that happened to latch onto him. She had Red hair, and that's all he could see, but he could feel the warm, soft orbs that were reamed up against his chest, and he could tell she was either cold, scared, or both, because she was shivering like it was winter outside. Now, normally Ranma would be shivering himself when it came to a naked girl hugging the life out of him, like when Shampoo revealed that she'd fallen into the spring of drown cat by transforming and nearly raping Ranma in the Furo… "Uggghhh… (.')" was Ranma's reaction to the memory. Anyway, this girl seemed to feel… safe; like he was able to hold her without having to be in trouble with anyone… he felt comfortable with the new girl in his arms… he felt like he was her protector, in a way. However, he opted to ask her if she was alright, and that's just what he did, "Say, um, are you okay?"

"I-I… I'm o-okay… I think… guardian Ranma…"

"G-g-guardian?!"

"Waz wrong Brother?"

"Brother? Wait a second, first you call me your guardian, and then you call me brother. Which one am I?"

"Both!" Ranma was feeling a little light headed now… not only did he get cured of the curse, but all of a sudden he became some random brother of some random girl he didn't even know… then the guide disrupted his thoughts with some 'Interesting' news, "Oh sir, I remember now! I no bring you to spring of drown man, but spring of separation!"

"What's that got ta' do wit' anything?"

"Well, this spring most sacred of all cursed springs… in fact, it more of a blessed spring!"

"How's that?"

"Well, it separate victim's curse from body, making cursed side whole person or more often pet!"

"Well then, does that mean that this girl right here is my cursed side?"

"Yes sir! Indeed that your cursed side!!" Ranma was at a loss of words now… not only did he have a brand new younger sister, but his younger sister happened to be his girl side… Ranko!!

"Brother… you have to name me…"

"I do? Well, it's Ranko from now on, got it?"

"Ok big brother!!" Ranma was happy now… he finally had a sibling… not that he'd had any big thing for wanting one, but he always wondered what it'd be like if he'd had a little brother or sister… now he had someone to talk to, and someone he could help out even with his foot in the mouth disease. Well, it was time to go home now… and Ranma was looking forward to going there. However, there was the dilemma of how to avoid accusation of eloping with his newfound sister… Well, he'd lend the younger Saotome a set of his Chinese cloths, and he'd teach her how to defend herself along the way… that'd be fun actually… even if it would take time, he'd be able to teach her all he knew. "Say, brother, what's my last name?"

"Saotome--huh? Wait, what do you know about yourself, me, or anything else?"

"I know you and my name, but not where I live, who my parents are, or how I got here…" she began to tear up. Ranma hated it when girls cried… especially if it was because of him. Well, he'd change this situation immediately! "It's ok Ranko… I'll teach you all of those things and more!" with that, the younger sibling smiled with glee and hopped onto Ranma's back for a piggy back. Ranma didn't mind now; it was his sister, so he didn't feel embarrassed about doing it for her. As Ranma thought about it… what did he have to teach her? Oh well… whatever he had to teach her, at least it wasn't how to speak… or how to speak English for that matter! Wait, did she even know how to walk? Well, he'd find that out on his own. "Okay Ranko, we'll be going in this direction, and we'll have to swim back home… can you do that?"

"N-n-no… I don't think I can even walk…"

"Oh no… ok, let's see if you can't, shall we?"

"Sure… brother…" with that, Ranma set her down gently on the ground. When he let go of her partially though, she ended up falling on her butt. She tried to stand, but only got as far as crouching before she ended up falling flat on her ass again. Ranma was starting to feel bad for the poor girl… if she couldn't walk, the how the hell would she be able to swim? "Sir!! Sir!!!! Come back!!! I have something that help greatly for you!!!!!" Ranma turned around to see the guide panting violently. He was holding about enough money to pay for not only plane tickets, but a mansion too!! "What- you're not givin' that ta' me are ya?!"

"Yes sir, I am! Your cursed side have horrible motor skill below waist, but fine above. She will have to go to physical therapy if she want walk and run and such. So, I pay for you! My treat!"

"Thank you… you are a generous and understanding man mister guide… I won't forget this, believe me, my sis and I won't, right sis?"

"Right!!"

"Well, you be on way now!! You take care!!"

"We will sir!!" with that, the two siblings traveled to the nearest urban area they could find, and ended up in Hong Kong. When they arrived, they got tickets, and were finally off for home…

Well, I have two chapters for this story so far, and I'd like you to read both and then review the story. Also I'd like to know what you think of my plot. I know there are some plots out there that have the whole 'Ranma's girl side is separate from Ranma' plot, but this one I hope is more entertaining than the average fic! Have a wonderful day!
