I have been informed that my idea is similar to some else's so to clear that up I will upload all the chapters that I have completed so far.
Though I think similarities are inevitable as people try to keep with the personality given By Rumiko.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything pertaining to Rumiko Takashi's work. Ok I do own this story and characters not in any of the series by said author and anything that sounds like something by someone else is purely coincidental.

The sun peaked over the horizon revealing two individuals on the gravel covered roof of the apartment complex that was noticeably better kept than the rest of the building. The two individuals were making identical motions at the same speed. To a normal person watching it appeared harmless but the trained could see it for what it was. Practice punches and kicks at an unknown enemy.
When they stopped their morning exercises Genma turned to Ranma. "It's time that you got ready for school."
"Ok." Ranma answered almost eagerly as he headed for the staircase.
"Remember to wash up don't want the teachers to think you're uncivilized." Genma told the retreating figure.
"Of course."
'What am I going to tell Nodoka?' Genma thought shuddering. 'I really need to research these curses so I can find a cure when I'm done working. Speaking of work I need to get that water heater working.'
OOooOO
"Students today a new face will be joining us. I expect you to treat her as you would anyone else." The teacher said from her desk, before turning her head to face the new addition to her class. "Please introduce yourself to class if you would."
"My name is Ranma Saotome. It's nice to meet you." the cute redheaded girl stated as she bowed to the class. Despite all her effort she couldn't help but feel somewhat ridiculous having never attended a public school. She wasn't exactly used to any of this. Straightening she looked over the class taking in the faces of her classmates.
"Thank you Ranma you may take the open seat by the window." the teacher said waiting for Ranma to sit down before beginning her lesson. Ranma quickly sat down in the indicated seat not exactly sure what to expect once class started.
Before long they were given a break with the students breaking into groups. Four persons specifically gathering around Ranma-chan's desk.
"Hey Ranma fancy you getting the same class as us." Daisuke said as he reached her desk.
"Yeah lucky me." Ranma-chan answered sarcastically.
"Sorry about yesterday. But everythings good right?" Hiroshi asked. "Well in all the excitement yesterday we forgot to introduce these two. The one with the almost silver hair is Yuki. And the shy one is Shiori."
The indicated girls said hello.
"Might I ask what you want?" Ranma-chan asked faining boredom.
"Well we were kind of hoping we could be your friends." Daisuke answered looking dejected.
"I should warn you that the only time you would see me is here at school." Ranma-chan said.
A few minutes later the bell rang signaling the end of break and everyone retook their seats.
'Well I've made some friends.' Ranma-chan mused to herself.
Lunchtime
Since she didn't have any money and she didn't want to be a burden to her new friends. So Ranma-chan decided to stake out the Cafeteria for when they threw out the inevitable freebies.
Her patience was rewarded as she heard a yell over the din. "Here it comes the last curry bread of the day. Have at it."
Jumping over the crowd she grabbed the bread out of the air stepping on a boys head in the process.
"You. What's your name?" An angry voice called behind her.
Turning she saw a very angry boy looking at her. "You talking to me?" Ranma-chan asked as she took a bite out of the bread.
"Yes you who stole my bread."
"My name is Ranma Saotome. I don't mind sharing if you don't." She replied as she tore the bread in half offering it to him.
"Ranma is it? You would do that for me?" The boy asked in surprise as he took the offered bread.
"It's free. By the way what's your name?" Ranma-chan asked as she chewed on her morsel.
"Ryoga Hibiki." Ryoga answered as he ate his bread like he was half starved.
"Nice to meet you." Ranma-chan said offering her hand.
Hesitating an instant Ryoga took the offered hand and gave a it firm shake. "I have a favor to ask." Ryoga stated as he released her hand.
"Depends on what it is." Ranma-chan replied.
"I get lost easily. Could you help locate my house?" Ryoga asked sheepishly fully expecting her to say no.
"I'd be happy to." Ranma-chan answered happily.
"Really you would?" Ryoga asked happily taking her hands into his.
Surprised by his sudden outburst Ranma-chan could only nod her head in answer.
"Are we interrupting something?" Daisuke asked the pair.
Noticing they had an audience the two jumped apart. Ranma-chan's face was almost as red as her hair. Ryoga didn't look much better.
"You didn't have to stop on our account." Yuki said.
"N-n-nothing was happening." Ranma-chan stuttered out.
"W-w-we saw." Shiori replied.
Thankfully for the blushing pair the bell rang interrupting any further conversation.
After school let out for the day Ranma-chan with Ryoga in tow went to the teachers office to get Ryoga's address. Not fifteen minutes later the were standing in front of the Hibiki residence.
"Wow I never knew that I lived so close to school." Ryoga said in awe as he stared at his house.
"You really have no sense of direction do you?" Ranma-chan asked.
"No unfortunately I get that from my parents. My father he's ended up in Moscow trying to find the mailbox. My mother gets lost easily most of the time but on occasion she knows where she's going. Though not often enough." Ryoga said then stopped as he realized he was confiding his families problems to a girl he just met. "You can laugh now if you want."
"Why would I laugh at the fact you hardly ever see your family." Ranma-chan replied.
"What about your family?" Ryoga asked changing the subject.
"I have my pop. I don't remember my mother though because pop took me on an extended training trip with him when I was very young."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Ryoga said before brightening. "So you study martial arts?"
"Yep." she answered with a wide grin plastered on her face.
"Care to spar then?" Ryoga asked.
"I would love to but I don't want to ruin my uniform."
"Don't worry about it I have extra clothes you can use."
"Arigato."
Close to sunset the two sat in Ryoga's back yard panting from the exertion.
"You're good Saotome."
"You're not half bad yourself. It's about time I got home."
"I'll see you tomorrow at school then."
"Why would I do that and leave you to wander around for days? No I'll see you here tomorrow morning."
"See you tomorrow then."
"Sayonora."
When Ranma-chan got home Genma was looking madder than a bull. "Ranma do you have any idea what time it is? Where were you?"
"I was helping a friend."
"And what were you helping them with?"
"He is what you would call directionally challenged."
"It's another guy?" Genma asked quirking his eyebrow.
"I just as much a girl at the moment as someone that was born a girl." Ranma replied heatedly.
"Do what you want then." Genma replied thinking. 'I might be able to use this to my advantage.'
'He's cooking up something.' Ranma-chan thought as she headed for the furo.
