Ranma Saotome is Kim Possible 2
Disclaimer: Same as before.
The is just a few years in the future from the prologue.
Just a reminder before some of you actually try to collectively sue or flame my ass to hell and back again, I own nothing and I have only seen up to season five of Ranma, and up to So the Drama for Kim Possible.
And the reason I was specific for the artifacts was just the fact that I wanted to have some base line to work with, so I didn't just pull out some big ass sword from Ranma's butt and end up shoving a 2x4 down someone's throat with an enchantment to make it explode after a minute and a half, though that idea does have some merit.
Anyway, I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYWHERE PAST SEASON FIVE! So I portray it off the fanfic's I HAVE read, which give off my same feelings of my rant in my previous chapter, so bite me if I am not entirely right, this is my first Ranma fiction!
I HAVE A RIGHT TO RANT GODDAMNIT!!
Chapter One:
Naughty babies, I am going to seriously kick your ... never mind.
-
I know it is stupid to think that it would be easy, but I had made sure that all knowledge of my being another baby from another family, but this was different, as I observed the father and mother in front of me, my baby body still adjusting to the dense muscles and hardened bone wrapping around itself, the female body was almost like home, but other than that, I had made sure that I hid a program in any genetic library and testing facility, that my genetics were that of a child who had no family left. I knew it was stupid, so I had locked myself in my girl body, locked my things in a vault with a number code and had set it up so I could activate it later at the bank I had stored everything in, changed my eye color and ate some de-aging mushrooms with a permanent action making me grow up normally because nobody would think of such a stupidly put together but insanely genius plan if I do say so myself. Now, usually I wouldn't do this out of any reason than to live a normal life, and now, I was here in my new families arms with a now hopefully peaceful life.
If only I knew how wrong I was...
(-Ten Years Later- Kim's first mission-)
Kim really needed to stop getting into these messes, her site really was a little more annoying than a blessing, but she guessed it was because she hadn't worded it right, sure, she had said that she could do anything, she mused as she bent over a laser with some very skilled acrobatics, just barely stopping herself from falling down and cutting herself in half, but she really meant it as a website for small town jobs to earn some money, not playing with lasers and super vaults that could kill people.
She really needed to stay out of these messes and keep her big mouth shut for once.
For once, something didn't need her to blast a hole in something, or use her strength to destroy anything, and for that, she was grateful, even if her strength was still the same as when she had left her adult body, and that annoying water curse had come up again, the locking water having faded, the only good thing was that she had waterproof soap that she had scrounged up and saved, enough to last for nearly a decode if used sparingly, or so she hoped. She moved across the ground again, back flipping and leaping through a laser cross that tried to slice her and pushed the button as she landed, wiping her brow of some sweat from the intense heat the lasers produced then looked down at her skirt.
Damn it, and she like it as well!
She sighed again and brushed off the praises from the two men, one a contractor for security and one a collector of ...
"CUDDLEBUDDIES!" she squealed excitedly, her eyes roving the huggable toys, that was what she was collecting money for, and she so wanted a new one, hell, she was just getting used to being a girl after all, and it was worth it to relive her childhood, and it was nice to act like an immature child once in a while, even if she had to give it to herself, she wanted to live a nice life away from insanity that would likely never happen now.
Ron appeared and groaned to himself as he saw his best friends eyes glitter like mad, possessively roving across the rows and rows of stuffed animals "aww, KP, do we hafta..."
"Yes!" she practically growled, her head never turning from the collection "this is so cool, and there are so many..." she drooled.
The collector laughed, handing her one of his most prized possessions, one of his cuddlebuddies, a Pandaroo "here you go young lady, you look like an avid collector."
Kim squealed as she took it into her arms and cuddled it closely before shyly reaching up and kissing him on the cheek and speaking in a quiet tone "thank you sir."
Ron rolled his eyes, but Kim was happy to cuddle the stuffed animal, happy that she had her own stuffed animal collection that she was denied in her own time as a child "c'mon KP, we got school tomorrow!" he called out.
Kim turned her head and bobbed it quickly before turning to the contractor "I hope this means you can have a failsafe or voice activated shutdown, it helps to be prepared."
The contractor nodded and Kim bounded off happily, cuddling the stuffed toy closely, she took one look back and bowed deeply, thanking the man in Japanese quickly, then stood up again, jogging lightly away.
This was the start of the Kim Possible-Ron Stoppable Crime Fighting Team.
(-Time Skip - Two Years-)
Ranma sat in the bath, some instant Nanniichuan allowing him to reveal his true body while everyone was out, letting him sigh in relief at having his normal body back "man, I never get time enough to just relax and spend time like I should be, guess I need to spend more time like this when I can."
The phone rang.
Ranma sighed "just ignore it, if nobody is here, they will stop ringing and I will have some peace."
The phone kept ringing.
Ranma sighed as he got out of the bath, his muscles rippling under his skin as he moved "I knew I should have kept it off the hook" he grumbled softly to himself, wrapping a towel around his waist and toweling his hair, brushing his long hair and doing it up in a quick braid, tying it up.
Walking down the steps, he heard his adoptive father speak on the answering machine "hey Kimmie, just calling to see how you are doing, give us all a call when you get back" and the machine beeped as the phone was hung up.
Ranma just sighed and pulled out a pair of chopsticks, some order in Japanese food and set it down, sitting on the couch and turning on the massive TV, flipping the switch until he came to the International News channel. Switching it to Japanese, he selected the Nerima Local News station and laughed softly as he saw the destruction that was still happening there, his name being screamed in the background "god, that is so funny, after seventeen years, you would think that they had given up on me, though Ryoga does pass by often enough, he never recognizes me."
Sighing contentedly, he lays back when the news flashed once more, coming up with two pictures of Missing People. Ranma just stared for a second, and then shook his head "I knew Nabiki would try to run, but Kasumi? That is a surprise, I never thought she would leave Soun."
Ranma shook his head at that, grinning slightly, then unraveled his hair, brushing it straight and letting it flow over his shoulders. Taking a look around, he just shook his head and looked at the TV again "this just in, we have word from a local in the area that Missing Persons relations have gotten a lead on one Ranma Saotome who had disappeared nearly eighteen years ago, if you have any information on this person," his picture flashed onto the screen "please call this number as soon as you can" and the number appeared.
Ranma sighed, she knew false paper trails were good, especially when you had Nabiki run from several different ends, and bribe some officials, even going so far as to have someone pose for him in a different part of the world "I sure do wish I could see them again, they were so nice and kind in the end" he muttered to himself, stopping only when someone at the door knocked. Using Amaguriken speeds, he poured some instant Spring of Drowned Girl water over his head, dried her body quickly, dressed and walked to the door, hair still wet as she opened it, brush in hand as she straightened it out once more, cursing under her breath about cold water being detrimental to its softness, freezing when she saw two faces that she thought she would never see again.
"Ranma-chan?"
"Ranma-chan?"
Two distinct Japanese voices with a hint of American accent in it. Two faces she never thought she would see again. Two people she never thought she would meet ever again. Slowly moving forwards, Kim looked into their yes and said slowly "Nabiki? Kasumi?" they nodded, tears in their eyes. Kim rushed forwards, hugging them briefly before moving back a bit to get a good look at their faces "you got old" she laughed lightly.
Nabiki punched her arm and said in a soft voice filled with emotion "and you got beautiful."
Laughing, she pouted cutely before grinning and pulling them inside, setting them onto the couch. Kasumi looked around for a while "you are living well Ranma."
Laughing as she poured some tea for the two, she sat down on the floor on her knees "yeah, maybe, but my name is Kim now, anyway, I hope you like the tea, it isn't Japanese, and it isn't fresh, I had to rip open the bags and keep them in a modified steam to get them just right, not as good, but it beats what you get at the markets," she said with a laugh, then sobered up a little "so, what are you doing in
Middleton? I would have thought you two would stay to look after your father and Akane and keep your lives as they were."
Kasumi decided to speak "Akane was arrested for nearly crippling a man when he tried to touch her in her waitress job, and daddy got even more depressed, staying in his room, he is in a mental institution for prolonged depression."
"The house and Dojo?" Kim asked, sipping her jasmine tea.
Nabiki blanched at that "we had to draw on a lot of funds when you left, Genma caused so much trouble between the family and the fiancée's continued to attack Akane, saying it was her fault, some of the stalkers caused even more damage, saying that you were hiding inside the house, we eventually had to sell it just to keep out of debt, and even then, both myself and Kasumi only had enough to come here to Middleton, if you had moved on, we would have been stuck here."
Kim nodded at that, setting her tea down "and ... mother?" she asked fearfully.
Nabiki reached into her bags, pulling out the Saotome Honor Blade somberly and handed it over to Kim who blanched at the sight "she committed seppuku when she realized that she was not a good mother and had all but forced you to leave, she left a note saying that you were to inherit everything of the Saotome Clan about six or seven years after you left."
Kim looked down at the sword, taking it in both hands and laying it on her knees "and what happened to Genma?" she asked fearfully once more.
Kasumi shook her head "liver failure, he continued living for about half a year until Happosai took him on a training trip, getting him drunk again when he was told to stop after a massive rupture in his body, they patched him up, but ... but he died somewhat peacefully, he was drunk when he died, passed out on the bar floor."
Kim nodded at that; Happosai would do it just to spite her, even if only in memory to them. She sighed again and removed the sword from its sheath, brandishing it loosely in her hand before holding the blade close to her face "I am the new Saotome Clan head, correct?"
Nabiki nodded "you are the last of the Saotome's, we had left and filled out a financial block to keep your money where it was and your property safe for the next eight to ten years before you have to claim it" she responded, closing her eyes.
Nodding to the news calmly, she sheathed the blade and sighed, once again picking up the tea and standing up, a small smile on her face "so, would you like some more tea? I am sure I have some more."
Kasumi looked at her and said, "Please, do not try that, it is only a path to destruction."
Kim looked down at that, her hair covering her face "I don't know what to think, I hated them for what they did, they lived through me, Genma didn't bother trying to give me an education, and taught me that women were weak," Kasumi and Nabiki made to interrupt, but Kim held
her hand up to stop them "he made me train to the point where it was torture, I never knew anything else, and thought it was normal, but then I found this family who has given me so much and taught me how a real father should act, and my mother, she asked me to stay to a seppuku contact of warped ideals and wanted me to be a perverted, womanizing, thieving, stealing con of a man with a wife and many mistresses just to satisfy her needs for grandchildren because she could only have one child, then I came to this family, and they showed me how a mother is supposed to act, I just ... I am now learning that being a girl doesn't mean that you are weak, it means you have different strengths, I just ... they are my biological parents, and I do care for them, but I also hate them for what they did to me, I am simply trying to think ... think about what they wanted of me and how I live now, it's just too confusing," she admitted, then said in more of a whisper "and I am also scared because now I am truly alone in the world as a Saotome."
Nabiki hugged her quietly as she sagged, tears coming from her eyes as she looked at the floor where the Saotome Honor Blade lay "its okay Ranma, let it out, just let it all out" she whispered quietly.
Kim just sat there, light trails of tears trickling from her eyes as she looked at it, then broke away from Nabiki "I still cared for them, they made me into the person I am today, even if my honor is slightly skewed" she spoke in a humorous tone.
Nabiki blinked, Ranma, forgoing honor, at any time, even when breaking away and becoming an unofficial ronin? Impossible. The chances of that happening was like saying that a woman could walk naked through an army barracks and not get whistled at once. There was no chance in all the levels of heaven and hell combined that Ranma would forgo her honor. It was impossible for him to do. Kasumi, who wore an equally shocked expression, basically mirrored this thought. Nabiki then asked the million yen question "you honor is skewed, how?"
Ranma shrugged "I got caught once in my guy body using Instant Nanniichuan and had to wipe away the memory from a girl who saw me transform, didn't go overly well when I wiped her memory of what gender she was, that was funny, but then..." she got a pensive look "I can't really remember what gender I am really any more."
Nabiki kept a pensive look on her face, not speaking. Kasumi, on the other hand, asked curiously "what do you mean, don't know your real gender?"
Smiling somewhat ruefully, Kim spoke up in an amused tone "I spent what, nearly sixteen full years as a guy, right? And for seven years before I changed, half of that was spent alternating between genders, and now, I am a girl, I suppose that I am both male and female, but also, I am separate to each."
Confused, Nabiki asked, "What does that mean?"
Rolling her eyes, Kim leaned in close and traced her lips with her own, suckling on them lightly before pulling back, smiling slyly at the small whimper of loss from Nabiki who looked to be in Nirvana, then pulled back to her own seated position "and I like guys as well, comes as a bit of a surprise, but hey, I can live with it."
Nabiki laughed loudly at that, but it was funny to a point, still, Ranma ... no, Kim she reminded herself mentally, she had lived as both genders for the better part of half her life and was just coming to terms with being part of the female aspect of her life, and if she didn't know any better, she could have sworn she felt a bra there when she hugged Kim. Kim herself was playing idly with her chopsticks, her eyes set on the Saotome blade "but Ranma ... sorry, Kim," Nabiki amended when Kim glared at her "what can we do? I mean, we are on the Japanese Missing Persons List, and people remember us clearly from their childhoods and..."
Kim just smiled slyly "I can think of one way to get around it, but you would have to do some pretty extreme stuff."
Nabiki and Kasumi looked at each other then nodded to Kim. Urging her to continue.
Grimacing, Kim explained her plot "well, you can get plastic surgery on your eyes to get them out of the slant, tightening up the muscles, then you can take a de-aging mushroom and artificially stain your skin and dye your hair, buy some colored contacts and change your name, something that you would never think about, like something Spanish, or French even."
Their eyes went wide at the sheer idiocy but brilliance of it all and gave some nods, then Kim hit the final nail into the coffin "and after that, one of you, preferably Kasumi, can be the mother, and she can open a practice while Nabiki can complete a formal school education that Furinkan doesn't give."
They shook their heads, shocked that she could come up with something like this, but realized that she had probably thought about this for the last few years "I am game, what about you Kasumi?" asked Nabiki with a small grin on her aged face.
Kasumi breathed in for a moment then looked at Kim "will anyone be able to find us?"
Nabiki shook her head "nope, the chances of that happening are slim to none, we didn't even legally come into America, by the time they figure it out with all the false paper and digital trails we left, we will be completely different people."
Kim had a different thought "I just want you two to be safe, even if I have to massacre a whole five legion of men to keep you safe and happy, I will do it, hell, I would probably kill Saffron AND Herb a hundred times over each just to keep you two happy, you two might have either manipulated me or tried to be oblivious to anything that went wrong with me," this earned guilty looks from the two sisters "but, you never, not once, did anything to purposefully hurt me either emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually or otherwise."
They smiled warmly at that and watched in astonishment as she removed her shirt and a lacy pink bra, freeing her nearly nonexistent assets and pouring some water over her head, filled with Instant Nanniichuan, transforming her into a boy. Growing uncomfortable, he quickly stripped and pulled a towel around his waist without being seen. Ranma sighed as he stretched his perfectly tanned body and flexed his fluctuating muscles that bulged when his limbs came together making both women very hot under the collar. Sighing as he kneeled on the floor and placed his elbows on the tables, he laced his fingers together and placed his chin in the middle, allowing his hands to take most of the weight. Blinking rapidly, Ranma placed his fingers in his eyes and withdrew a clear white contact from either eye to show a pair of slitted pupils that contracted in the light then became much more pronounced by the way they formed tight slits, her eyes becoming more focused "I haven't removed these in over three years, and god, does it feel good to actually remove them" he said with a grateful sigh.
Looking him over, Nabiki couldn't help but smile in wonder and awe of what a new life could do for Ranma had done, his skin, which was once marred by scars crisscrossing his entire body from the Neko-ken, had vanished, his skin was flawless and he was ripped better than a Greek Olympian of old, he looked mature even in the girlish innocent pose, and the power he projected was astounding, but the most enchanting part was his eyes, cat-like and slitted, they proved one thing to the two who unconsciously leaned back "you mastered the Neko-ken" Nabiki stated more than asked.
Nodding, Ranma flared four ki blades from his knuckles and sighed "this is just the base way I can manipulate the Neko-ken, besides, I had to get over the Neko-ken quickly and master it or leave, this is America, they don't really allow the random destruction to happen like they do in Japan."
Kasumi laughed lightly at that, remembering what damage Ranma had caused and it was rather surprising that he had mastered his fear of cats "so Ranma, I hear you are a teen Superhero" Kasumi spoke in mirth.
Ranma glared at her for a second before laughing heartily "yep, I got a sidekick and a whole lot of changes coming my way, chaos never wants to leave me alone."
Laughing at that, Kasumi smiled knowingly "Ranma-kun just wouldn't be Ranma-kun without a little chaos" she said in a motherly tone.
Ranma scowled for a brief second, but otherwise left it alone "anyway, given any thought to changing lifestyles?"
Nabiki gave her own shrug "I want to get into business school, but I never got to have a proper childhood while I was trying to keep the dojo and house alive, so yeah, I want a new life."
Ranma just smirked playfully, his eyes dancing in mirth as he stood up, his hands laced in front of him in an innocent pose as he twirled on his heel, laughing girlishly as he had the perfect leverage, giggling like a maniac as he fell to the floor, his hands in front of his mouth to conceal the large smirk on his face "I have the perfect solution" he giggled out again, eyes on full blown mocking laughter that he had something that Nabiki didn't.
Nabiki ignored the display of girlish playfulness, opting instead to simply stare at him and say in an even tone "how do you plan on getting us a new life? Or even passing it off before we are found out?"
Giggling quietly in an attempt to stop the full blown laughter that attempted to escape, he spoke out "two thousand yen Nabiki," Kasumi face faulted, her head slamming into the table "you know Kasumi, that is an expensive table there," he remarked causing Nabiki to face fault, slamming into the floor "please be careful Nabiki, I hate cleaning messes off the carpet, takes too much time and lots of money" this time they both face faulted once more as he sipped his tea, eyes dancing once more in mirth.
Kasumi grudgingly got back up and said "Ranma! Please, this is serious!"
Ranma was immediately stone faced and calm, all traces of joking gone as he sat in the near ramrod straight seated position of someone who practiced hand-to-hand combat for a profession catching their interest quickly, knowing that he was only this serious very few times, and when they were serious, they always tended to be big. Placing his tea on the table, he looked up and said in a serious voice "I can provide a way out, but it takes time and a lot of money which I don't have with me at the moment, it would take about four or five months to make a completely new persona for you, and frankly, I don't have the time at the moment, with my exams coming up, I also have several babysitting jobs lined up as well."
"Please," Nabiki begged, removing herself from Kasumi's side and bowing her head to the floor in a formal bow "please, I beg of you, anything you ask and I will do it, we need to get away from Nerima, and we cannot leave with all those people still there, they would force us to tell them where you are, and they would, if we didn't know, force us to find you!"
Ranma stared at her for a second before sighing and placing a hand on her shoulder, lifting her up, seeing tears in her eyes making his chest clench tighter. He sighed and said in a voice that expressed sadness "fine, but you aren't going to like it…"
)-(-Authors Notes-)-(
Cliffhanger!
Of sorts...
Anyway, anyone remember what Draken stole or tried to steal in the first episode he and Shego appeared? Give me a buzz when you find out or remember, because it has been bugging me, I can't find the tape.
Anyway, I modified a few pieces in the first part of the chapter into Ranma's POV because it was a good opening, and I might do it with the other chapters because it provides a perspective unique to the character, and I might put one for different characters when they pop up, but I am going to have to put in some fillers later on, much like most of this chapter was.
First chapter received some good results, so far, before this was edited by pre-readers, which I was surprised about, looked like this:
Reviews: 30
Views: 1473
C2's: 6
Favorites: 11
Alerts: 30
And this was just for the first chapter!?!
So far, I think this is my personal best for a single chapter, but then, that is because I doubt anyone has actually tried to pull something like this off before, and it is damned confusing to do, but very fun as well.
Reviews are welcomed, flames will be used to roast P-Chan, my pig, Mousse, my duck, and Xian Pu, my cat, for dinner.
All others will be used to either heat up the air for my hot air balloon, or used to fuel my new flame powered ship, all contributions are helpful!
And thanks to my new pre-readers ranma girl 14 and Cylon One.
