Title: Titanic: Ranma Style

Rating: M (JIC)

Summary: The Title is self explanatory It is from the movie Titanic but most of the characters are replaced with Ranma characters. I have added my own twists here and there. Remember R and R.

Authors Note: Ok I'm here with another fanfic this is a chapter fic. My first one in a long time. I didn't write them for a while cause I wanted to get good at writing before I attempted it again. Well this fic will be a Romantic Dramoedy (Drama Comedy). So I hope you like, and I'm so sorry but I think I may have Ranma... gulp Dare I say it... die in this fic. DUM DUM DUM Love you guys R and R!

Now on board Kedysh, the crew look up to see the glimmer of wet metal in the warm Alantic sunlight. They watched as it was lowered onto the deck. The safe was lowered into the middle of a crowd that was forming, but no one in the group was more important than the hand-wringing money man named Bobby Buell who reprsents the limited partners. There is also a documentary video crew hired by Genma to cover his moment of glory.

Everyone crowds around the safe as it hits deck, Mousse and Genma running to it like children on christmas morning. "Who's the best? Come on say it!" Mousse staes very proud of himself.

"Me." Genma flatly says looking over to the video crew, "You rolling?" The cameraman giving the thumbs up Genma nod to his technicians, and they set about drilling the safes hings. Durning this operation, Genma amps the suspense, working the lens to fill time.

"Well, here it is, the moment of truth. Here's where we find out if the time, the sweat they poured, the money, all that beautiful money spent to come out to the middle of the Alantic was worth it. If what we think is in there, in this very safe, it will be the greatest discovry of man kind.

Genma grins greedly in anticipation of his bigest find yet. The door is pried loose. clanging onto the deck. Genma moves closer, peering into the safes wet interior, after a long moment his faces tells a story all it's own. "Shit!"

"You know boss, the same thing happened to Geraldo and his career never recovered." Mousse said threw a chesire cat grin.

Genma stood up, tears streaming down his face, "Get the camera outta my face!"

Technicians carefully remove papers from the safe, placing them tray of water to separatenthem safely. Nearby are other artifacts, that were recovered from the stayroom, being washed and perserved. On the satellite phone with Buell are investors.

"You send out what I tell you to send out! I'm the one paying you!" Genma screams at the camera crew.

"But your not paying us, 60 minutes is." States one the the cameramen and they stroll off leaving a very stunned Genma behind.

Covering the phone, "The partners want to know how its going?"

"How's it going! It's going like me and water, Whattaya think?" Grabbing the phone Genma turns instantly smooth, "Hi, dave? Barry? Look, it wasn't in the safe. No, look, don't worry about it, there're stillplenty of places it could be. Like in the floor debris, in the suite, in the mothers room, in the purser's safe on C Deck..." Genma looks up to see a drawing of a very beautiful, very NAKED, woman. "Whoa mama! I... I mean hang on a second, please?"

Genma looks closely at the drawing, which is in excellent shape, though its edges have partially disintegrated. The woman is beautiful, and beautifully rendered. In her late teens or early twenties, she is nude, though posed with a kind of casual modesty. She is on an Empire divan, in a pool of light that seems to radiate outward from her eyes. Scrawled in the lower right corner is the date: April 14 1912. And the initials JD.

The girl is not entirely nude though. At her throat is a diamond necklace with one large stone hanging in the center. Saotome grabs a reference photo from the clutter on the lab table. It is a period black-and-white photo of a diamond necklace on a black velvet jeller's display stand. He holds it next to the drawing. It is clearly the same piece... a complex setting with a massive central stone which is almost heart-shaped. "I'll be goddamned!"

A little old woman sits in her ceramics studio, listening to the news when she hears something the catches her intrest. Turning to the Tv she sees the announcer, "Treasure hunter Genma Saotome is best known for finding Spanish gold in sunken galleons in the Caribbean. Now he is using deep submergence technology to work two and a half miles down at another famous wreck... the Titanic. He is with us live via satellite from a Russian research ship in the middle of the Atlantic... hello Genma?"

"Yes, hi Tracy. You know, Titanic is not just a shipwreck, Titanic is THE shipwrek. It's the moint Everest of Shipwreks. I've planned this expeddition for three years, and we're out here recovering some amazing things. Things that will have enormous historical value." Genma statestrying to sound important, all the while sucking in his gut to appear thinner to the lovly announcer.

"But it's no secret that education is not your main purpose. You're a treasure hunter. So what is the treasure you're hunting?" The announcer asks noticing what genma is doing and not falling for it.

"I'd rather show than tell you, and we think we're close to doing just that."

The old woman's name is Akane Calvert. Her Face is a wrinkled mass, her body shapeless and shrunken under a one-piece African-print dress. But her eyes are just as bright and alive as those of a young girl.

Akane gets up and walks into the living room, wiping pottery clay from her hands with a rag. A black pig gets up and comesin with her. A younger woman, Nabiki Calvert, rushes to help her. "Turn that up please, dear."

Back to the announcer, "Your expedition is at the center of a storm of contraversy over salvage rights and even ethics. Many are calling you a grave robber."

"Nobody called the recovery of the artifacts from King Tut's tomb grave robbing. I have museum-trained experts here, making sure this stuff is preserved and catalogued properly. Look at this drawing, which was found today...a piece of paper that's been underwater for 84 years... and my team are able to preserve it intanct. Should this have remained unseen at the bottom of the ocean for eternity, when we can see it and enjoy it now?" Genma contuined with his rant s Akane realized what had happened.

"I'll be goddamned!"
