The Kind Princess
*****
Chapter 1
*****
"Azurelle" whispered Ranma.
"Oh My.....what a beautiful name" 2 guesses who said that. But..you will only need one.
All eyes moved from Ranma back to the picture and then back to Ranma.
*click* Nabiki turned the tv off and turned back to Ranma wondering
how he knew the Princess's name and how she could make money out of this.
Silence reigned for a few moments then..
"YOU PERVERT" *WHAM* Mr Mallet meet Ranma's skull. Skull meet the floor.
(Akane's not that bright huh)
"WAAHHH GENMA YOUR SON CHEATED ON MY LITTLE AKANE!"cried Soun with his patented cry #144.
Genma suprisingly just sat there shaking his head while muttering "What an ungrateful son i
have" He looked up at the ceiling "what have i done to deserve such a child". He added tears
running down his cheeks.
Ranma sat up rubbing his sore head, the pendant still clutched in his grasp.
"You should talk pops. I almost died because of you and you call be ungrateful.
You left me to die and Azurelle was the one who kept me alive."
That shut everyone up. All heads turned to him and noticed that he still had
something in his hand.
"Yeah that right you stupid panda bear. I'm lucky to be alive today." said Ranma through
clenched teeth.
Ranma's hand went up to his collar and pulled it down slightly. At
the base of his neck was a large scar which ran down unto his chest.
Kasumi gasp, he noticed where the scar started from. and by the judge of it
Ranma should of died from it. "Oh my"
Ranma noticed this and nodded "If you are wondering about this scar i think Kasumi
can tell you about it" he was still holding his shirt down.
All heads turned to Kasumi, and all noticed a tear run down her cheek.
"He should of died because of that" her voice was shakey. "L.looking at the scar
it was made by a large thin sword. The cut ended
near the jugular vein. A few more centimeters and Ranma would of bleed to death
in a matter of minutes" a few more tears went down her cheek.
"Yeah thats right" came Ranma's voice. All turned back to him as he started his story.
"I was about 11 years old and we were in Europe. We stayed in a place for a while and then one night
pop took me to a cliff facing a castle we had a tour at before....
*****
"Now Ranma i want you to try and steal what ever is valuable in that
big place" whispered Genma to Ranma-chibi as he stared at the "place".
"COOL a real castle, will there be kni..knigh..nights there Otuosan?" asked Ranma-chibi.
Although he had already seen the inside he didn't see any knights. He thought they were cool.
"Yes there will be knights there. Now i want you to steal that ever you can ok" said Genma.
"Why should I?" asked a confused Ranma-chibi. He knew that knights were good guys. They protected
the innocent and all that. Why steal from them?
"Do you want your mum to think your um-manly" scolded Genma as he reverted to his only trump card.
He knows Ranma will do anything to prove his manliness.
Ranma stood up straight and puffed out his chest. Some would call that image adorable.
Genma on the other hand took that as a 'yes'. "As much as possible, and don't get caught".
Ranma started running in the shadow towards the bridge. The only way to the castle.
(Authors Note: Think of the castle in Castle of Count Cagliostro)
*****
"I slowly made my way to the castle avoiding anything and everything
that could of alerted them of my presence. Once i got to
the castle i slowly searched the rooms that i could get into. When i had to
much to carry i then looked for something to carry it in. After a while i had
to bags full of things. Thats when i made it into the throne room."
****
Ranma-chibi slowly put his two full bags of loot into a shadow and made
his way to the end of the room. He nervously took a glance at the row of
ancient armour. He had seem them in books before and always wanted
to see one. When he got into the castle he saw a few and was excited.
Then he noticed that they were everywhere. and now he was wary of them
as there were so many of them.
He turned his head towards the thrones. Behind the thrones, clearly seen by the
audience, when they were there, was a small table with a sword rack.
This puzzled Ranma as he was sure this place was not in Japan but there was a
Japanese katana on the rack. Thinking that his father would be proud if he got the
sword he slowly made his way to the rack.
When he got closer he slowly reached out to touch the sword, not noticing the small
wires attached to it. He lifted the sword and then dropped it as alarms started blareing
all over the place. Foots steps were heard getting closer to the room Ranma-chibi was in.
Even though he was small child be knew he was in trouble and said one word that
he knew would sum up his predicament "Oh shit" ok that was two. Where do you think he
learnt language like that?. You only need one guess.
Guards started pouring into the room. Most had swords while a few had guns.
All spoted Ranma and ran towards him. The ones with guns not shoting until
there was a clear shot.
Ranma was fast but not fast enough has he was kicked, punched and slashed at.
He ran from the room pulling the armour down to try and slow down the guards.
Gunshots rang out, and this only spurred Ranma faster.
He ran into another group of guards outside. He got pummeled again and again. and in a last
ditch effort he pushed himself off the ledge that he was forced against.
Ranma didn't know how long he was falling he looked down and tried to grab a ledge that was
below him. His hand caught the ledge and then he cried in pain as he heard a slight crunch
as his shoulder dislocated.
His hand let go and he started falling. Blackness overcame him as he landed in something
hard and wet.
(Authors Note: You try landing in calm water after falling a while up. Its like hitting the
pavement.)
*****
Tears were in almost everyones eyes, even Nabiki had tears. Akane concentrated in
not letting the tears out. Soun was crying cry #156, which was 'My son-in-law was
almost killed'. Kasumi was glaring at Genma and if looks could kill there would of been
panda steak on the table. Genma as usual rolled his eyes and mumbled "ingrate".
Ranma continued his story...
*****
Ranma-chibi woke up in extreme pain. He turned his head and got a mouthful of sand
He pulled himself along the beach, his blood washed away by the waves. He slowly,
painful crawl to somewhere where he could hide. After taking several short breaks
of rest he made his way into a beautiful garden, not that he noticed it anyways. He \
made his way and rested his back against the trunk of a low shrub.
Feeling tired he slowly started to close his eyes. Then he heard a bark and he
slowly turned his head to the sound and saw a huge black dog and a cute girl running
behind the dog slowly making their way towards him.
He just wanted to rest. He was so tired. So very tired.
A gasp made him look up again. The girl was there looking at him. He looked into
her eyes and just stared into the crystal aqua-green eyes. Then his eyes started to close.
He heard the girl running away but the dog stayed behind, its head on Ranma's leg. He managed to
rest a hand on top of the dogs head who stayed silent.
Several minutes past, the girl was back and Ranma somehow stayed awake. For some reason
he didn't want to sleep yet. Not until he saw the girl again. At first he thought
she had called guards but when he looked up he noticed she had a basket and a flask of water.
She slowly gave him water and a bit of food. When Ranma didn't want anymore she stopped
and then reached into the basket again.
"no..no more food" moaned Ranma. But the girl didn't bring more food out
of the basket. In her hand were several bandages. She slowly started to bandage
all of Ranma's wounds ignoring his yelps of pain.
*****
Ranma opened the pendant and looked at the little girls photo inside and a very
faint smile crossed his lips. No one noticed the smile.
"Elle helped me slowly to heal. Keeping me company. She even helped me to walk
again, dispite my injuries, She kept on saying "If you can't walk how can you get
back home?" so i just forced myself to walk. Grey, the large dog and his mate Lilly and
their pups played around with me, thats how i stayed fit, they chased me or i chased them.
And at night when Elle was away Shadow, one of the pups. and Grey stayed with me, keeping
me warm and safe. I would always remember those times, they were the times i was able to be
free and do what ever i wanted."
Ranma took a small break and then continued "After about 4 weeks i was fit enough to leave
so i told Elle that i was going to leave so i could find pop again. She gave me this
pendant with her picture in it and also Shadow wanted to come with me but i left him behind.
She then gave me enought money to find pops. Looking back she gave me too much."
Then he added "Pops here" he pointed "would of gotten rid of Shadow if i brought him along"
Genma was about to open his mouth to shout "What money?" but Ranma kept talking.
"Shortly after finding pops we left and made our way out of the country. Shortly after
i turned 16 we were in China. After that is history"
Genma opened his mouth to complain but again someone beat him to it.
"GENMA SAOTOME HOW COULD YOU LET YOUR SON GET ALMOST KILLED" yelled Kasumi.
Everyone did a double take. Kasumi was yelling. Oh boy Genma's dead now.
"but but but" stammered Genma as he backed into a corner.
Before Nabiki could put her two cents in Ranma spoke up.
"It's alright, Kasumi. I only had four broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, a broken arm and broken
leg, and sprained ankle. I think I lost a few pints of blood from the gunwounds... anyway, I was
still alive... well, barely, but alive, so no biggie, right?"
Kasumi grabbed Ranma in a hug and started to cry.
"Ahhhh Mmumbahahagubahaha Gbbblighiberoooooo" she cried as she reverted to the Tendo family
language. The tears were enough to change Ranma into Ranma-chan.
Akane gave Ranma a death stare and mumbled " Serves that pervert right" yet those
words rang hollow even to her ears.
Nabiki was going through her little black book, looking for the closest zoo.
Who will pay for a large fee for endangered Pandas of course.
Soun just acts like an idiot saying "A martial artist's life is frought with peril but
then again we didn't get injured like that".
*WHAM* *WHAM*
Genma opens his mouth to defend himself but before he gets to say anything his head gets
driven into the floor by two mallets. Everyone looks at the two who put Genma into
the ground and notice that the mallets belongs not to Akane but to Kasumi and to Nabiki!.
No one notices Ranma slowly get up and walk out of the room.
Lying down in the guest room Ranma layed back thinking on how much his Elle had grown
*HIS* elle? but before he could think furthur along the line of thought the guest room door
opened and Kasumi walking in saying "Ranma i don't want you to sleep in the same
room as..as..THAT *thing*. Your going to be staying in my room now on"
He opened his mouth to say something but the look on Kasumi's face stopped him.
So he stood up and started towards the door but was stopped by Kasumi. "Bring all your
things along"
Looking into Kasumi's face Ranma didn't want to say anything so he knodded and
collected his meager belongings. He stood up and noticed Nabiki walking by her
head stuck in a small black book mumbling about "stupid pandas", "zoos" and
also "family services". He wasn't sure but he thought he heard something
about notifying his mother.
Kasumi took his arm and slowly took him to her room.
Upon entering he noticed that he had never been in Kasumi's room before and
now he noticed it to be the largest room in the Dojo, enough room for someone
to practive the art in. He eyed Kasumi as she walked around the room turning
on the lamps istead of the main light. I wonder if she still practices he thought.
He watched Kasumi take out a spare futon and lay it next to her bed. She looked at him.
almost instantly he got the message and put down his belongings in a corner and climbed into
the futon.
Kasumi tucked him into his futon and then started to hum a little lulaby.
Ranma's eyes became heavy and went to sleep content that Kasumi was looking
after him.
Kasumi waited until Ranma was fully asleep and then got into bed herself. One last look
at Ranma and a tear ran down her cheek. She then closed her eyes and sleep overcame ger quickly.
