I do not own Ranma 1/2 or Rurouni Kenshin, All caracers in here are owned by otehr people.
Chapter 1
"Ranma, come own to the living room. I have something to tell you," Mom said, I was back at my moms house, after going and getting cured. Akane had fallen in love with someone else, and pops and Mr. Tendo had gottne me engadged to Nabiki(scary). Little did I know that this announcment would change everything.
When I was downstairs, I was surprised to see that the old Ghoul, and Shampoo were here, as well as Ucchan.
"What's up mom?" I asked.
She replied, "I have something to tell you. You are not really mine or Genma's son. When I had a baby a long time ago, he died in childbirth."
Everyone except pops, and Happosai(WHen did he get here?) looked astonished.
"Wha.. how?" I asked, for the first time in my life speechless.
"You see Ranma, after my baby died, I was out in the back yard, I found a mirror there. I was crying, and when my tears landed on the mirror, I had said, 'I wish I could go to a place where I could have a baby.' At the time, I had no idea what the mirror was. When the mirror put me to a new place, I was very surprised. One minute I was in the backyard, and the next it was hte middle of the night, and there were 2 boys. One was a 2 year old, you Ranma, and the other was a 7 year old, I heard you call him Shinta. Some men came, and took your brother. They nearly killed you. I took you back to me to our time. So the truth is that we are not your family. Your real name is Ranma Himura."
Everyone just sat ther efor a bit, than Ucchan asked, "If that's the case, why should it matter to me if Ranma isn't a Saotome?"
"That's because I'm renouncing all of the engadgments that Genma placed on Ranma, unless he wants to keep them. And that is because I am giving him the choice to go to his origionle time-line, in search of his brother."
I just sat there, like everyone else. This was so weird. I'll be having my 18th birthday in a week, and mom is telling me I'm not her son. That I'm not even from this timeline!
"Mom, what time-line was I from?" I asked.
"You are from the Meji time period." Mom replyed.
I thought over it, and mom asked, "So? Do you want to go find your brother? If you choose to go I'll train you a bit on how your supposed to act there, and what to expect."
I finally shaked my head, "Yes."
When I said that Shampoo burst out, "Airen no go!"
"Shampoo, I'm leaving whether you like it or not." I said.
Shampoo smiled and leaned against me. than she said, "Airen take Shampoo wih him."
I frowned. "No, I'm not taking anyone with me."
Shampoo pouted, and was about to say more, when the old ghoul said, "Come Shampoo."
Shampoo followed her with a pout.
I than turned to Ukyou, and said, "Ucchan, your my best friend, if I was going to take anyone with me it would be you. But I can't take anyone with me. This is something I have to do alone." Ucchan nodded in reply, "I know Ranchan. If you evercome back come see me." She said. I smiled.

After it had almost been a week,(With Shampoo and the Old Ghoul attacking left and right to get me to stay) I had the nanban mirror, and knew what to expect and such. Mom had given me training with a sword a while ago, and I carried a katana hidden in the robes that were considered normal in the Meiji time period.
I let a tear fall on the mirror, and said, "I wish to go to the time period where my brother is."
At that, the next thing I knew, was that the place I was in wasnighttime. There was also a forest nearby, and I stood at the edge of a town.
The next day.
The next day I was walking in the town, asking people if they had heard of a Shinta Himura. I didn't have much luck. Aparently, Shinta wasn't a very common name. I learned that the place I was in actually was Tokyo.
After a while, I went to the park and rested.
I leaned against a tree and closed my eyes, after a while, I heard some people talking nearby.
****
Kenshin had to smile as Yahiko and Sano started argueing again. Kaoru had suggested that we all have a vacation. It would have been alot better, if tomorrow hadn't been my brothers birthday. I flet myself frown, as I remembered my brother.
~A young Shinta and his brother, Ranma, were playing in a field. We were told to play in the field becuase our parents were sick. I was looking up at the sky, and the next thing I knew was that I was being tackled by my laghing brother. For the next couple moments, we just layed there, laughing.~
I remember thet that was the last happy time with my brother, since our parents died the next day.
I was drawn out of my thoughts, by arriving at the spot Misao was going to meet us. The others couldn't come, so they had sent Misao.
"Hey Himura, hey guys," Misao said.
Everyone replied hello.
*****
I was leaning against the tree and heard the name 'Himura'. I listened in on the conversation in hopes of hearing about Shinta.
I heard one of the girls in the group call the red haired guy Himura, and felt my hopes rise. I was about to listen more, when it became apparent they were being attacked.
****
I was listening to the others talking, when I heard something, and dodged a sword blade in time for it not to go through my neck.
I turned around, and had brought out my sakaba, just in time to keep a sword from slamming on my neck. I couldn't see who it was attacking me.
I countinued to fight, and than I realized that we were heading straight for that guy who'd been leaning against a tree. I was still fighting though, and when the guy through his sword, I barely dodged. When I looked up, I realized that the sword was heading straight for that guy! I saw him look up, and someting that surprised me. He caught the sword.
****
I was considering whether or not to interfere with the fight, when the attacker threw a sword at the Himura guy. He dodged, and the sword was heading straight for me. I didn't bother to dodge, I just caught it. Than i just looked at the guy. If anything, he looked surprised. The guy, as soon as he saw me catch it, ran.
If I had been back in my world I would have had a major sweatdrop. What a coward.
I saw the Himura guy coming to question me, and stood there waiting for him.
****
When I got over there, he hadn't run away. Luckily. I asked him, "How did you catch that sword?"
The boy couldn't have been more than 18 years old.
He replied, "Because I can catch it. It isn't that difficult. Now I have a question for you. Do you know a Himura Shinta?"
I was surprised, and asked, "Why do you want to know?"
He smiled. "Because, My name is Himura Ranma, I'm his brother."
"Oro!?!"
