"When Blue Clashed With Blue" - Ranma's Story
Lady Rinehart
This takes place after SM has defeated Galaxia. In the Ranma world, its right before Saffron came. Also, the Ranma cast is very out of character in this.
************************************************
Ranma began to struggle in his sleep. Suddenly he awoke. He looked around, not knowing where he was. Then everything came back to him. Usagi, the ship, her story…
'How could someone betray Usagi?' He thought. 'She's so pure and sweet.' He tried to get off the bed without waking the sleeping blond. She yawned and sat up.
"Morin'." He said. He finished getting off the bed and stretched. "What are we going to do about food?"
"The ship serves it. Also, the bathroom's down the hall." Usagi replied.
"How do ya know that?" He asked. He began to open the small closet.
"I went last night. Hey! Clothes!" She ran to where Ranma was. Inside were boys and girls clothes.
"Alright!" Ranma said. That meant they didn't have to spend the small amount of money that had together. He was pulling a jacket out when Usagi placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you going to tell me why you left?" She asked softly. Ranma gulped. Though his past was bad, it was no where near as traumatizing as Usagi's. They sat back on the bed.
"Okay, well I guess it all started when I was just a little boy. My Pop took me on this training trip. To become a better martial artist, ya know?" At her nod he continued. "Well, while we were in China, my pop took me to the cured training grounds of Jusenkyo."
"What's so bad about training?" Usagi asked. Ranma cringed.
"Before I tell you anymore, promise not to get freaked, okay?"
"Alright." She answered.
"This place has many springs throughout the training ground. The problem is, if you fall in one, you become whatever person drowned there."
"What?!" Usagi yelled. Then remembering her promise, asked quietly, "What do you mean?"
"It changes people. Like my Pop, he becomes a panda. And there's Shampoo; she turns into a cat. Mousse, who becomes a duck, and Ryoga, who becomes a pig."
"And you?"
"I become a girl." He waited for the laugh, or a mallet, but nothing came. He looked up.
"That's horrible! You father made you go to this awful place?" She almost screamed. 'That's so sad. To be a boy trapped in a girls body… Wait!' "But you're not a girl."
"I know. When I'm splashed with cold water, I become a girl. When I'm splashed with hot water, I become a guy. You can see my problem. On top of that, my father engaged me…" (I thought I'd leave out the part we all know)
"…And so, I had a lot of fiancées. My life just was going down hill. Then Shampoo got taken by this Ghost cat. I saved her. From then she had been even more eager to make me her husband. And Akane has been malleting me more often. I didn't understand…"
*Flashback*
"You PERVERT!!!!" And again I was set flying. I landed not too far away from the Tendo dojo. I stood up, and began walking back. Little did I know that my father had plans for me.
*End*
"I don't know when he planned all this, but he went just too far…"
*Flashback*
I stepped into the dojo, only to have many hands grab me. I was yanked around until I saw my attackers. Mr. Tendo, Pop, and Happosai were there. I struggled to get free, but they over powered me.
"Now, my boy." Mr. Tendo started. "We're here to have a little chat."
"Yes, boy. Now is time to talk." My Pop said.
"I've been waiting patiently for an heir to Th Anything Goes School of Material Arts for a very long time." Happosai put in. "I want one now."
"What'a ya talkin' about?" I yelled. I hadn't until then noticed Pop had tied me to a chair.
"We plan to wed you to Akane now." Pop supplied an answer.
"Yeah, well what about Akane?" I asked. I began to struggle against the ropes.
"Easy enough to take care of." Happosai answered. The door to the side opened and in walked Akane. "She's doing this of her own free will." I noticed a necklace around her neck.
"What that!?" I asked. Happosai looked very pleased.
"That, my boy, is a Kamanade Necklace. It makes the person's dreams come true."
"I don't get it."
"That doesn't matter, boy." Pop said. "All that matters is Akane has agreed to marry you, and with that necklace her dream of marrying you."
"You see, Akane has many dreams, so I had to improve a few. Its easy, the dream was there, it was just deep. I brought it up, 'enhanced' it a little. I'll do the same to you." Happosai said. He looked extremely pleased now. "The best part was, Akane agreed to this before I even put the necklace on!" Akane smiled.
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked. I had a small portion of the rope all most undone, and fortunately no one else noticed.
"To gloat." Pop said.
"This is a very good plan out powerful master came up with." Mr. Tendo added, taking a chance to suck-up to Happosai.
"Well, I ain't gonna do it!" I yelled.
"Ranma! Please, I love you!" Akane yelled back.
"Well, I don't return the feelings." And for the first time, knew that this was true. I cared for Akane greatly, but more as a sister. She wasn't even cute!
The rope holding me snapped and I jumped. Sending a small ki blast to the wall, a cloud of smoke covered my escape. I ran by rooftop to the city. I looked back only once, and no one had succeeded in following me.
*End*
"Oh Ranma." Usagi said, leaning forward.
"They just took it a step too far. Forcing me into a marriage was bad enough, but actually FORCING me to get married…" He trailed off. "I went to Ukyo's that night. I thought that her being a long time friend, she would help. All she did was try to seduce me. What's worse is she said she was finally beating Akane. I realized I was nothing but a prize."
"Ranma, it not your fault." Usagi tried to assured the pig-tailed material artist.
"I know. But it still hurt." He looked down again. "Shampoo was a waste too. I didn't even go in her house, because I saw her cooking a dish a sprinkling who knows what and muttering thing like, 'He'll be mine,' and 'Airen will love Shampoo now'." A hand was on his shoulder.
"And?" Usagi gently pushed.
"And something broke inside me. I was a trophy. Not one of those girls loved me for me. Not even Akane. They treated me like something to be won." He looked up into Usagi's eyes. "I know this is nothing like your story, but…"
"It might have been harder." Usagi said. "Family is something you hold dearly. I know you fell something deep to know your father and other family would betray you just to 'unite' the families for egotistical reasons." Usagi gave his shoulder a small squeeze.
"Thanks for listening." Ranma mumbled. Usagi smiled brightly.
"You listened for me. I hope we reach America soon. I hear California is beautiful this time of year." She smiled. "From now on, I'm going to be different."
"So am I." Ranma said. He stood, pulling her up. "I not going to be pushed around."
"And I'm not going to let people walk all over me."
"Together, we're going to make it." Ranma smiled. Suddenly a large growl erupted from somewhere in the room. Both Ranma and Usagi blushed.
"But first," Usagi started. "Lets go get something to eat."
************************************************
From the time gates, Sailor Pluto watched the teenagers race down a narrow hall to the dining area. Turning around she greeted her companion.
"Hello, your majesty." Pluto said, bowing slightly. An almost transparent Queen stepped out of the shadows.
"They are alright?" The royalty asked.
"Yes. But why are you bring this boy into this?" Pluto asked.
"Just keeping a promise, Pluto." The queen smiled. "You will keep me posted, correct Pluto?"
"Of course, majesty." She turned back to the gates. "I think they'll like America, ne?"
"I hope so." The queen took one more glance and closed her gray eyes, disappearing.
"I hope so too." Pluto whispered. "I hope so too.
************************************************
Well, the long a waited for 'Ranma's story'. I hope some people liked it. I know in the real show, Ranma's family and friends would never do that to him, but I needed something to push him. I hope all die-hard Ranma fans will not flame me too much.
