Chapter 1-God does not play dice. [rough draft/ needs prereading]
I need to attend a school close to home. That would solve a lot of my problems...I hope.
The problem was there weren't many schools that were close to our run down home. Our run down home was actually a poor class apartment that is located in the middle of a middle/rich class neighborhood.
There were only three schools that are within a ten mile radius of our house. They were the Juuban high school which is a public school, Okashi high school which is an all boy school, and the last high school was Ayashi high school which is an all girl school.
The public Juuban high school was out of the question, there were rumors of monsters and I don't want my daughter to be caught in the middle of it either. I also didn't want to end up on some television channel. Plus Juuban high school was the farthest.
Okashi high school didn't want me. To them I was just a poor kid trying to get in to their school. I could barely afford a set of clothing of their uniform which included a white t shirt that hugs my neck making me uncomfortable. Their tuition was expensive!
Ok, so perhaps there was more than one reason why they hated me. It was probably that one time, when I was angry and I went to their martial art club after school and challenged them later I defeated every single member. I guess I humiliated them or something.
Or maybe it was that one time when I was challenged by one of the PE teacher in swimming and we were betting. Later on, he lost all his money... Boy, I remember that was fun I didn't have to lift my finger on some back breaking job for a month!
This was getting ridiculous.
The last school was an all girl school and quite frankly I was not comfortable being in long period of time in my curse form. I was never comfortable in my curse form but I change though once and a while for my daughter sake.
Maybe they can understand my situation and let me in. I hope the person that runs the school is nice... -----
Nodoka was a modern day Japanese self made woman. She changes her last name back to her maiden name and adopted several children and on top of that she own an all girl school. (You guess it) She runs the Ayashi all girl school.
A very prestige school for all girls and as a mother of eight girls she wanted them to attend the best school. Hence, they were enrolled in Ayashi.
Nodoka have been a principal for many years and never have she encounter this situation before her.
"Please Masaki-san, I don't have anywhere else to go."
"Aren't you a little old to be in high school?"
"I...I had a bad past and I want to be better. To be better than my father that's why I want to go back to school,"
"But this is an all girl school. Have you try Okashi or Juuban?"
"I can't...Okashi doesn't want me and Juuban is too far from home and work."
"Well I'm sorry, you just can't-"
"I know Masaki-san but I'll do anything. I'll be the school mascot anything. Please!"
"I'm sorry I can't."
"I...I understand..." said Ranma as his head was lowered and his eyes were hidden behind his hair.
Ranma didn't like to show his sad emotions it was consider being weak from his father. But to him he didn't want people to pity him. He hated that.
All his life he relied on himself to survive in this society and he didn't want his work to be help by another. Maybe it was pride that kept him from asking for help, he did survived in this city by himself and he takes pride in that.
Ranma walk out the door before closing it Ranma said, "I'm sorry to have wasted your time."
---
Out side Nodoka office and in the hall was Ranma daughter sitting on a bench five feet away from the room. The little girl started to run toward her father.
"Papa, so did you get it?"
"I...naw. Don't worry about it Morri-chan."
"Are you sure?" asked Morrigan as she senses a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Yeah, who needs school anyway? Not like a diploma woulda help me."
"Let's go and get some ice cream."
"Yay..." said the little girl as Ranma pick her up on his shoulder.
--
Nodoka was tired and was about to open the front door of her office when she heard a little girl voice.
"Papa, so did you get it?"
'He's a father?' Nodoka respect toward Ranma went up a bit as she took a peek behind the door.
After Ranma left Nodoka walk over toward her speaker and press on a red button next to it and began to speak.
"Banka?"
"Yes, Nodoka-sempai?"
"What is our rule code about admitting a male student in the school?"
"Actually, there's nothing about admitting male student, why?"
Nodoka smile before saying, "Good."
You see, middle age woman are very smart and devious. Already, that little hamster on the spinning wheel in Nodoka head was spinning its wheel.
Nodoka was very impressed by Ranma actions, maturity, and manners and she was already formulating a plan. The plan included him letting her take care of Morrigan when he's in school and it also included getting him to know her daughters.
"Ooooh, kids! Grandchildren!" said Nodoka followed by an evil laugh.
The person behind the other end of the speaker started to sweat drop.
"By the way what is Ranma last name?" said Nodoka after she gain her composer.
"You mean the boy that just came in?"
"Yes."
"He's doesn't have one."
"Oh that's even better!" again Nodoka started the evil laugh. A sister sweat drop started to form behind Banka head.
It was perfect; if he was to marry one of her daughter he would adopt her family name.
------------
So many things have happen in my life. Each of them seems so surreal and each has fast forward my teen hood and yet...it has also kept certain things. I act sometime more like a brother toward Morrigan than a father for example. My old self would show up from time to time.
Maybe there's a god out there hating me. Maybe he hated me because I am poor in knowledge. I mean I did improve on certain traits that I had, like the way I used to talk. I didn't attend school so it was natural that I suck in grammar.
And if he did hate me he probably didn't care to write about my life. Or else he would have helped me a long time ago...
Naw...I don't think so. If he would have hate me he would have put me in a life that is full of clichés. He would have created a generator and roll some dices that would have determined my destiny and life and then said, "Oh well, there I'm done."
I don't think god is that cruel.
God did, after all, helped me by blessing me Morrichan.
BAAM!
---------
"Uhh..." said a certain pigtail boy.
"Daddy are you okay? You just bump into that stop sign," said the little girl as she pointed to a now dented stop sign.
"Yeah, I got to stop thinking when I walk," said Ranma, he mumbled the last part of his speech.
"Where's the ice cream store daddy?"
"Eh? Oh fudge... I think we've past it."
Ranma had learned from a mistake that a child would mimics or adopts their parent habit. It was hard enough to ask Morrigan to stop pulling the middle finger. After that incident Ranma learn to substitute fowl language for other words.
-----
Later that night...
Ranma and Morrigan were currently racing to eat all the mochi they can on the table. Mochi was a round ball, a Japanese ice cream where the ice cream was the core and the crust was a chewy sweet rice layer.
After an intense battle session there was only one left. Both, Ranma and Morrigan have their hand on the last mochi. Both were glaring dagger at each other.
"Grr..."
"Grr..."
Both were now standing and were cheek to cheek staring at each other while growling trying to scare off the other so one of them can have the last mochi.
"I guess we gotta settle it the ol'fashion way," said Ranma.
"Ok, let's battle!"
Both jump away from each other and started to arch their arm up. Then their right arm descended in a ninety degree. One of them had a v shape hand and the other had the same. Then again, one had a fist the other had the same then the process continues this time both had an open hand.
After several minutes have passed a victor was declared.
"Ha, I won! My trusty rock can always beat the rusty scissor,"
"Hum-pf, that was lame,"
Ranma was about to shove the last mochi in his mouth when out of the corner of his eye Ranma see Morrigan hungry eye and sad posture.
"Err...here," said Ranma as he broke the mochi in half giving one half to Morrigan.
"Thanks you!"
"Yeah, I learn it from a gaijin television show. Something about a purple dinosaur and the word sharing,"
"Eh?"
"The YMCA club told all parents to watch that stupid purple dinosaur and the teletubies supposedly it teach us how to become a parent," said an annoyed Ranma.
"Really? Is it working?"
"I dunno I've been trying it."
"It's obviously it didn't work for you,"
"Did you say something brat?" Ranma put his right feet on the table and bent his back so his face was close to Morrigan. He was hovering over her as he squint his eyes as if daring her to say again.
"I SAID YOU'RE OLD OYAJI," said the little girl as she took the opportunity that they were close together to shout in Ranma ears.
"What?! That's it," said Ranma as he grabs his daughter and started to rub his fist on top of her head while laughing.
After a while and complaint from the person who was the receiving end Ranma stop and smile at Morrigan.
"Alright, go brush your teeth and go to sleep,"
"Why?"
"Because you need to,"
"Why?"
"Because-wait a minute- Hey, don't start that with me," shouted Ranma as he chasing her toward the bathroom.
Morrigan was laughing all the way toward the restroom while Ranma hit his head on the bath room door when Morrigan quickly close it.
"Got to stop letting her watch that animaniac cartoon," mumbled Ranma as he rub his head and walk away.
---------
Later at midnight, there was something that can only be described as an unidentified flying object. There was a very bright light shape as a huge round ball descending down on the Juuban Park which was near Ranma run down apartment.
Ranma was currently on top of his apartment staring at the lake of Juuban Park.
"It's so peaceful,"
"Damn, well it was peaceful a minute ago, what the hell is that?" Ranma said out loud to no one in particular as he stare at the unknown object hovering over the lake.
Then a minute later the object descends into the water and everything went back to normal.
Ranma posture relaxes then it changes in an awe stance as he stares across the park. Next to a tree were light particles all hovering around before a very ample red pinkish headed woman appear inside the radius of the light particles. The woman two feet touches the ground and she opens her deep purple eyes.
Ranma eyes met hers as she met his. After a while the woman facial feature changes to a shock expression and a squeak sound was all that came from her voice.
"Err, hi there." said Ranma as he wave his hand toward the woman. The woman gave a fake smile with an expression that says, "Oh great I'm caught," and she wave back at him half heartedly.
"Ok, good night I got to go to work tomorrow," said Ranma as he walks back into his apartment and toward the restroom.
End of Chapter 1
Author notes: I got the name Banka from the anime s.CRY.ed so I think that's an authentic name. I'm trying to do Master Misquito/Ranma/OMG cross over. Hopefully that would come out soon. Then I'll do a Sharman King/Ranma cross over and Hack.Sign/Ranma crossover. Maybe I'll do Scryed/Ranma I'm not sure. Maybe a Dead or Alive beach volley ball and Ranma crossover. I don't know. We'll see.
