Soun Tendo considered himself to be a good father, one who did all he could to ensure that his three lovely daughters would have every possible advantage in life. From securing a nice budget for college to helping them get through problems that would make a lesser man faint. He even went as far as to guarantee, at least one of them, would have a husband; a child form the Saotme bloodline. Not only would this give one of his daughters a husband but it would also unite the two schools of Anything Goes Martial Arts, thus securing his and his daughters future financially.
Ah, yes life was good for the patriarch of the Tendo house hold…
"YOU DID WHAT!" screamed three unified young and angry female voices.
These three voices came from the three daughters of Soun Tendo; Kasumi (19), Nabiki (17), and Akane (16).
Now you must understand before we continue that if it hadn't been for the fact that Souns' wife, Miki, was currently sitting by his side at this present moment in time, Soun would be taking a very unwanted dip in their Kio pond in the back yard via mallet, frying pan, and book bag (much more painful than it sounds) courtesy of his three loving and caring daughters. All of which are very well vised in the family art of the Tendo school of Anything Goes Martial Arts.
"Daughters please listen to what I have to sa-" started Soun but was cut short by a fresh bout of screams of general disdain aimed solely at him.
"SILENCE!" And silence there was as Miki Tendo's voice echoed throughout the house. Soun gave a quick nod of appreciation to his wife, he would be no where without her, cleared his throat and began to speak, "The reason we didn't tell you girls earlier is because we were hoping that you would be more mature by now to handle this situation with the utmost sense of family honor and care. Clearly we were wrong." He said this last part while staring directly into the eyes of his daughter's, watching them flinch as his gaze past upon them.
"Now that I have your attention," with that he pulled a postcard with a picture of a panda out of the training Gi he was currently donning and read," Dear Tendo, bringing Ranma back from China. Be there in a week. Signed Genma."
Looking up to see his daughters reactions he saw a strange mix of both fear, anger, and calm as they each where thinking the same thing. When did their parents get that letter?

Chapter 2
A Ranma in Love?
(Two weeks ago)
Ya know what the best thing is about beating your dad to a bloody pulp before bed is? Not waking up to a splash of cold water to the face followed by a brick, also directed to the money maker, but not today! And what a beautiful day it was as I slowly opened my eyes and let out a mighty yawn that would put a lion to shame. Ah yes today was going to be a beautiful day indeed just me, my pops, and…
"RANKO!"
The redhead in question looked up bolted up right from her position upon the floor wearing nothing but her birthday suit causing certain assets to move in a way that would make a lesser man faint. Good thing I wasn't a lesser man and could handle such situations with ease.
"pu-pu-put some clo-oths on!," okay so maybe not, "pops could wa-wake up any second!"
"And?" she questioned while giving me the , ' I'm am the cutest thing since two kittens snuggling,' face.
So, yeah, that is how my day started; a day that would change my life forever in a way that I would have never imagined. Ever.
Anyways, as all life changing days go this one was rather normally save for the early morning peep show. Pops awoke looking like something out of a bad sifi film and we began our early morning workout which consisted of pops meditating on my back while I preformed 200 pushups with one arm all the while preparing breakfast with the other. Yeah, I'm just that good. Then me and pops fought over the food until Ranko scalded me for eating like a pig, forcing me to slow down to a civilized pace and causing pops to yell at me telling me to grow up and yada yada. Then we packed up and took off; nothing out of the ordinary or strange; at least until I found out our destination.
"So pops where we heading?" I asked after about an hour of silence.
"Yeah, where to you bastard of a man!" exclaimed the ever Genma hating Ranko.
Pops gave me the once over and looked at me directly in the eye before pulling out a traveling guide and holding it up so I could see it clearly.
"You see this boy," he growled, "this here is a guide to all of china's elite training grounds for only the best martial artist in the world, I found it-"
"more like stole it!"
"- in the Miyagi dojo while we were staying and tried to return it but Mr. Miyagi insisted that I keep it in order to better you in your training.
He paused for a moment as he filliped to some page towards to back of the book to show me a high glossy picture of what appeared to be a training ground specializing in balancing for there where poles scattered across and endless field of springs.
"The Legendary Cursed Springs of Jusenkyo," came a whisper from my dad causing me and Ranko to lean in closer.
Several seconds passed and nothing happened, then pops replaced the guide book and continued walking.
"NANI?"
