I decided to upload to chapters to start the story out with!

I made it to Dr. Tofu's clinic just in time for my appointment.

"I don't usually see you for reasons like illness as much as your injuries from training, so this will be interesting." Dr. Tofu smiled as he ushered me into a room.

I laughed "Yeah, I suppose you don't."

"You said you've been getting easily tired and training is becoming a little harder. Akane, do you have any other symptoms other than fatigue?" he asked going through his notes.

"I do get dizzy and I do get nauseous a little." I explained.

He noted the symptoms in his notes "Can you lay down a moment, Akane?"

He felt my abdomen and wrote something in his papers "I need you to stand now."

"I see, it's nothing serious at all." Dr. Tofu smiled "I was trained to see this. I don't know why I didn't notice it sooner."

I was relieved "What is it?"

"Sit down first, it's best to tell you after you've sat down." He smiled.

"So it's not serious, then why sit down to tell me the news?" I sat on the bed.

Dr. Tofu put his clipboard down "It's not bad at all, in fact-"

A loud screech that hurt our ears came from outside cutting of Dr. Tofu. We hurried to the window to see a giant bird flying around with someone on its back outside. As soon as they saw us at the window they dove toward us. I ran and Dr. Tofu backed up protecting me as glass shattered everywhere and pieces of wall fell to the floor.

"What do you want?" Dr. Tofu got ready to fight.

A girl hopped off the back of the bird smiling with deep emerald eyes "I came for Akane; I won't forgive anyone who gets in my way."

She blew something in Dr. Tofu's face and he fell unconscious to the floor.

"Come on Akane, hurry!" the girl giggled grabbing my arm.

I shook my head pulling away "I don't know you! Let go of me!"

"Oops, of course you wouldn't notice me like this. I'll explain later, that fool Ranma Saotome is on his way here." The girl easily picked me up.

I fought to get away and the girl sighed as she climbed up the bird's wing with me still in her arms. She grabbed a hold of the bird and it soared out of the office into the sky. This couldn't get any worse, kidnapped and I don't even know what's wrong with me. The girl let me go and I clang to the bird scared to let go.


I can't believe she tricked me. I ran annoyed that Akane didn't trust me and then a large shadow of a bird stopped me in my tracks. I looked up to see a bird flying overhead with a girl and, Akane?

"Hey, what are you doing with Akane?" I followed them jumping from the ground to a fence before hopping on a roof to a house.

Akane turned toward me relieved "Ranma!"

"Damn, he's faster than I thought. Setsu, lose him." The girl growled and the bird screeched "On to the Satsuki Islands.

"Ranma, help me!" Akane screamed as they flew up higher and faster.

I jumped using every ounce of strength I could muster and caught the bird's foot. The bird tilted and I heard the girl holding Akane captive yelling.

"Setsu, spin him loose. We'll crash if you don't!" the girl ordered.

The bird went into a spiral digging its claw into me. I let go in surprise and pain falling to the ground as the corrected themselves and flew off.

The only thing you could hear was Akane's screams "Ranma!"

I grabbed my side as I caught a hold of a roof one handedly and stopped my plummet to the ground short. The one thing I wanted to know is who was that girl and what did she want with Akane.

(Later That Day)

"Oh my, a giant bird and a girl, how interesting, did you see where they were headed?" Kasumi finished bandaging me up.

I winced "They were headed to some place called the Satsuki Islands."

"Satsuki Islands?" Kasumi repeated "Father, I thought they were only legends."

"Oh yeah, Satsuki Islands the islands where time runs slower. Everyone ages less rapidly than normal." Nabiki spoke up "I'll tell you the stories for a thousand yen each."

I crossed my arms wincing again "No way, I don't have that money anyways."

"I'll tell you one of the stories a little boy told us when he came here a long time ago. He was about Akane's age, but he knew the story well." Mr. Tendo cleared his throat as pops sat intrigued as I was.

"It was many years ago, the islands had been inhabited by the Satsuki tribe, they lived in peace. That was until an argument between the two sons of the head of the tribe began a feud over who was to be the successor. The head of the tribe had grown ill and was weakening every day, someone had to be chosen. The head of the tribe decided the first to find a fiancé and bring her home by the time he is considered of age in their tribe will become the head of the tribe. The brothers still feuded and the islands were split. Both brothers took a bride and became head of half the massive tribe of Satsuki. To this day they still fight for the land and their sons have joined, but now to sons are much too old to fight so the youngest of both halves of the tribe must find a bride and bring her back when the time has come. They two fiancés will battle for their lives in a dual to the death. The winner will become head of the complete Satsuki tribe." Mr. Tendo told the story without another word "That is what the little boy told us, he had such an imagination, but we never knew what became of him. He disappeared after leaving a giant feather for Akane."

"Where are the islands said to be?" I stood in less pain than I had been.

"What a brave little husband, my little sister has!" Nabiki laughed "Are you sure you can get there in that condition?"

"It's said to be a day's trip through the ocean. The islands are said only to appear every ten years or so." Pops said "I had heard of these islands some time ago. I never dreamed they were real."

"We shall go with." Mr. Tendo said beginning to cry "I want my dear little Akane back boy, I'll help you save her!"

"Not without I, Tatewaki Kuno." Kuno broke into the room.

Ryoga came in with a towel on his shoulder "Ranma, how could you let Akane be taken! I'm going too!"

"You'll need us too!" Ukyo ran in with Shampoo and Mousse at our heels.

"Akane no die unless Shampoo get to kill her!" Shampoo smirked.

Mousse hugged Ukyo; he apparently lost his glasses again "I go where ever my dear Shampoo goes!"

"Did you guys bug the place or what?" I grumbled as they crammed into the room.

"Hey, let go of Ukyo Mousse!" Ryoga yelled and Shampoo handed Mousse his glasses as Ryoga clobbered him.

"Well, then it's settled we'll all leave tomorrow morning to save Akane." Kasumi giggled and I groaned.

I love when the whole group is together, there are so many funny situations that can happen between them!
