I would like to clarrify some things. One is that Genma has stolen Ranma when he was only a few months old. He did this cause he didn't want Nodoka to baby him anymore than she already did.

***

Genma looked around the forest he and his recently newborn son were transported too.

"And to think I stole Ranma from that worthless woman to find myself in the woods transported somewhere by a temple preist. All because I helped myself to some scrolls."

Glancing at the crying baby he vowed to teach him to be a true man. Kicking chibi-Ranma he started to walk forward when a low growl behind him made him stop.

Looking back he saw 2 'VERY' big white wolves standing side by side. He looked down again at chibi-Ranma who stopped crying for a moment.

'Oh well the boy doesn't stop crying. If they don't eat him i'll take him along.'

"SAOTOME FINAL ATTACK!"

The wolves somehow figured out what he ment and braced themselves.

"RUN AWAY!"

Genma started to run leaving the 2 wolves staring at the spot where he had been. Looking down they saw the small child looking at them.

Approaching they decided on a course of action. 'One good turn deserves another.'

***

Genma returned as soon as he thought that they would have left if they had ate his son. He turned slightly pale as he saw what that the blanket Ranma had been in was empty.

"Now what do I do?"

***

Chibi-Ranma look out over the hill rocking back and forth. He smiled as he saw San-neechan with Momma coming up to their home.

***

A young boy stalked through the forest. His short hair hung loosly down to his chin split through the middle.. Three marks adorned his face each red. Two on his cheeks pointed outwards and on in the middle of his forhead. Each shaped like a triangle with rounded edges.

He wore light brown leather pants, with leather shoes. A white fur vest covered his upper body, longer fur adorned the back. Two bracers adorned each wrist and he wore a necklace with a jade pendent at the end.

His blue eyes scanned the area. Nose sniffing. His pointed ears pressed back.

***

Once again Ranma was left in the dark as Moro and San left with his brothers to go kill that Eboshi woman that kept hurting the forest. They hadn't been back in a few hours and he was getting worried.

"THERE!"

Moro and his two brothers were now coming up the hill. San was with them. But so was another boy.

"Momma!"

Ranma nuzzled against Moro who seemed to smile.

"Come on Ranma we have to go do somethings."

"Ok Momma." Ranma nodded happily.

***

"So why is that boy here Momma?"

"Why does he bother you?"

"No, just wondering if he was a new friend."

Ranma nuzzled into Moro's furry neck a little more as they continued to walk through the forest.

"For now he is a friend."

"Ok can I talk to him when we get back?"

"I'm afraid not Ranma."

"Why Momma?"

"Ranma we are at war. I will soon be one of the casualties."

"Casualties?"

"Yes it means that I am going to die Ranma."

"What no way Momma you can't die!" Ranma hugged Moro's neck.

"Ranma I want to explains something to you. Will you listen?"

"Yes Momma."

"Ranma in this world you are my son. But I am not your real mother, I found you one day and took you from a horrible man. If I cannot return I want you to ask the forest spirit to bring you back to where you had come from so you can find your real mother."

"But your my Momma."

"I wish that were so Ranma. I want you to know that I love you my dear son."

Ranma started to cry and hugged Moro's neck tighter.

***

Jumping out of his hiding spot he landed on a moss covered rock. He bowed as an elk like creature walked over the water towards him.

"Oh spirit of the forest I come to ask of a favor."

It's odd shaped eyes swivel to him and it seemed to smile.

"I wish to return to where I came from so I can find my birth mother."

Ranma didn't notice as a man jumped out and tackled him as the spirit granted his wish. Suddenly they were both gone.

***

Ranma looked at the man in front of him with a frown on his face. This 'man' was trying to convince him that he was his good father who lost him one day.

He knew different.

"Come on boy I got to train you."

Ranma jumped forward his seven year old body built to a condition that 9 years in a forest living with the wolves would have built up. He found himself on the ground staring at the sky.

"Pathetic boy i'll just have to train you extra hard."

***

Ranma growled. He looked down at his now her hands. It wasn't the fact that he had a different body now that pissed him off but the fact that he was unable to stop the old fool from 'training him'.

Genma gulped as he suddenly felt very small even though he was now a panda. He got a tad more scared when the boys ears flattened against her head.

'This is gonna hurt.'

The guide watched as the 15 year old sir now miss beat the old man who looked nothing like him into the ground.

***

Genma glanced over at Ranma who was sniffing the air like he or she usually did. 'It's not like the boy actually smells anything I do not.'

Ranma glanced at Genma once and pinched her nose. 'This place stinks!'

***

The people on the street scattered as a large panda was sent into a light pole. A small redhead walked into the street her odd clothes blaring against everyone elses.

*This is for your own good* flip *Girl!*

"And this isn't for you!"

Kicking him in the head he hit the ground.

"I'm leaving for good you fat bastard."

The panda struck the girl in the back of the head with a sign.

***

Ranma woke to find herself on a bed of fur. She looked on as they entered a hallway. She heard a scream but didn't recognize the voice.

"PUT ME DOWN!"

Reeling back her leg she nailed the panda in the stomach. Pushing with her arms she went off it's shoulder and landed on all fours in front of the Tendo's.

Soun Tendo watched as the young redheaded girl crouched on all fours snarling at the panda.

"You wouldn't be?"

The snarling girl stood up and looked at him. She bowed politely.

"I'm Ranma nice to meet you."

The panda bopped her on the back of the head with a sign.

*Your a Saotome!*

The girl returned to glaring at the panda.

"I am not a Saotome you kidnapped me."

The panda ignored the statement and held up another sign.

*Could I have some hot water?*

"Sure Panda-san." Kasumi said walking into the kitchen.

The panda poured the kettle over it's head and shrunk into an overweight man in a white gi with no hair.

"Oh my."

***

Genma Saotome master of the Saotome branch of the Anything goes school of martial arts sat crosslegged and pushed up his glasses. The pose he had made up to make himself seem as intelligent as he thought he was. Actually worked unless you knew him for more than 10 minutes.

"I am Genma Saotome and this is my son." pointing to Ranma who was now in male form.

"I am not a Saotome." He said crossing his arms

"Hold it hold it. If your not a Saotome who are you?" Nabiki said with images of the hunk that sat in front of her not being her fiance. Screw the girl curse this was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

"You would not understand. But, know that Genma Saotome kidnapped me when I was seven and searching for my birth mother."

All 3 daughters no had death glares lock on Genma.

"The boy is lying he was taken from me and I have only taken him back."

"I do not know you I was raised since birth by my mother."

"Foolish boy your mother had no place in you being raise I saw to that personally."

"Yeah my father helped a lot too not that you would know of him."

Genma Saotome seethed in anger. No matter what over the years he could not convince his wayward child of him being his father even if it was the truth that he was.

He caught sight of Ranma's ear starting to grow a tad longer and press back on his head. Over the years he learned that this was not a good sign as with his sons explosive temper.

"Well your problems aren't so bad." Soun butted in before Ranma could act. His statement completely catching him off guard.

"Yes now that your hear pick any of my daughters and she'll be your fiance." Soun smiled ignoring anything that diviated from his dream of having the boy come pick instantly fall in love consumate their relationship then get wed the same night.

"I am not going to marry anyone."

"Boy you have no choice the Saotome family honor is at stake. Oh my son would turn his back on his honor."

Genma was sweating as Ranma gave him a disgusted look.

"I will not be forced to choose a life-mate."

"Are too."
"Are not."
"Are too!"
"ARE NOT!"

"Hold it!" Nabiki shouted as they continued to yell at each other.

Ranma and Genma turned to look at her.

"Ranma first thing first what is your last name."

"If you must know I am Ranma of the Wolf Clan."

"Wolf Clan?" All three sisters tried to figure out.

"The boy is lying again he does not belong to this Wolf Clan or whatever it is."

"You know perfectly well since you left me to them." Ranma gave him a toothy smile. Genma looked over at Soun who was starting to give off chi in preperation for some technique.

"Yes he left me as an infant with my parents in exchange for his life."

"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO A BABY!?" surprising Kasumi used the demon-head attack.

*I'm just a cute cuddly panda.*

Ranma kicked the now panda man in the side sending him out of the house and into the pond.

"I'm sorry that I have cause such disharmony in your home I will be going." Ranma bowed and started to leave.

"Please don't go." Ranma looked over at Kasumi who was no sitting looking up at him.

"Why would you want me to stay I don't belong here."

"Please?" Kasumi pleaded.

Ranma looked into the brown eyes and caved in.

***

Kasumi awoke. Her brown hair fell around her shoulders as she sat up. Putting some slippers on she started getting up and heard some noises outside.

Opening the door to the guest room she saw that Ranma was gone. Walking to the kitchen she looked out the window and saw him bouncing around the yard.

"So energetic." She smiled and started to make breakfast.

***

Akane's eyes narrowed at the boy that was jumping around her backyard. Not only was he jumping much higher than she could but was moving much faster.

Grabbing her gi she ran out. 'Let's see how well he is against the best!'

***

Ranma landed on the biggest rock next to the pond crouched. The slightly longer fur on the back of his vest finally coming to rest. His nose twitched slightly.

'Let's see, sweating, needs to jump in a river or something.'

He turned to see Akane storm out of the house.

"How bout a little match?" His eyebrows raised as she got into the most basic anything goes fighting stance.

***

This is kind of a Princess Mononoke crossover. The next chapter won't be just some parts. I don't know the beginning of the movie cause I only caught the last hour of it. BTW if someone says the forest spirit couldn't transport Ranma ahead in time I really don't care he's mine to play with. ^_^

The reason I jump around so much in the beginning is cause I dont' really have any ideas for Ranma growing up. I'll eventually put some up.

Please be gentle this is only my second fic.
