Author's Note:

I do not own Ranma ½, also I wish I did. I love Ranma ½, but everything about Ranma belongs to it's original author. Ryo and Hikaru belongs to my friend Mark Amico, since he came up with the future of Ranma's and Akane's life. The story, however, was my idea, so are the rest of the characters. Hope you enjoy.

Overview:

Even through the wedding was ruined, Ranma and Akane wouldn't give up. After Ranma told Akane of his true feelings for her, the two ran off together to Egypt and had a private, but beautiful Egyptian wedding. During their long honeymoon, while touring around the Great Pyramids of Egypt, a tour guide read some of hieroglyphics. It told the story of a warrior with a power to transform into a man and into a woman. It was no power but a curse, handed down from him, by his father. This cursed son came to Egypt to find the Great Kingdom of Oasis, in order to help him rid of the curse that have been given to him. During his mission on finding the counter-curse he falls in love with the Princess of Oasis, but she was taken from her home by the God Anubis, who had also falls in love with her. If she was not returned the Kingdom would fall apart and disappear like the rest of Egypt long ago.

Ranma looked up at the paintings on the wall. He saw a huge map of the Kingdom Oasis. It was surrounded by palm trees and waterfalls and rivers flowing all around the area. In the middle of the land was three pyramids step up that made a triangle shape in it's center. And in the center was a huge town that surrounded a gorgeous palace or white, gold and silver stone. Ranma's heart gave a leap. Would he get rid of his curse, only to give it to his son? Maybe he should find this Oasis himself and save his son the trouble? No, Ranma was done with his adventures. He took his new wife's hand and smiled down at her. Akane gave him a worry look.

"You think this could happen?"

"Nah."

"What happens if it does?" Akane looked up another painting.

The painting was of the Princess of Oasis. Around her neck was a red jewel, about as big as Akane's palm. The Princess also had the similar jewel on her forehead, which was as big as the diamond ring on Akane's finger.

"It's just a legend."

"That's what the guy told you about the Springs, and you got stuck with it's curse."

Ranma turned to Akane and smiled down at her lovely.

"Listen Akane, legends are legends. Curses are curses. Dreams can come true, so could nightmares. Anything could happen. My nightmare turned around and I woke up to find you. Let Fate take it's course."

And that's what fate did…

Chapter One:

The Land of the Rising Sun

Ryo knew about his curse, which was given to him by his father for some time now. It never really bothered him, until he hit middle and high school. He just finished his junior year of high school and he is glad he has almost done. For years he has been hiding it and the harder it is getting. Even making sure his little sister Hikaru, a freshman, to keep quiet was a chore.

Ryo wasn't mad at his father, sometimes he was when suddenly cold water came out of nowhere and sprayed him. Poof! Instantly he was shorter than use to be. Bright red hair, slender legs and arms, and a full size rack. It always happened at a bad time. He was on a date with some girl he liked, or was hanging with his friends. But if the curse couldn't ruined his life enough, his parents made it worst.

"Ryo, I like you to meet Honami Aryll, your fiancée." Akane and Ranma moved aside and a young girl, just about Hikaru's age, stepped forward, dressed up in a over-fashioned kimono of colors of highlighters.

"What?!" Ryo moved back from them.

Ryo knew the girl. Honami happened to be best friends with Hikaru. Honami happened to be a cheerleader, snobby type. Those who always complained about chipping a nail. Ryo thought she was a bit pretty, but the way she over-does her make-up scared him and her intelligence of a banana didn't help her either.

"First you give me horrific curse! Now you want me to marry…her!!!!!! Are you two insane?!" Ryo shouted at his parents at the top of his lungs.

"Ryo please….it's a family tradition-" Akane tried to explain.

"Oh…so the curse is a bonus?"

"Ryo I couldn't help that…" Ranma frowned, understanding the way he feels.

"Yes you can! You could of found the counter-curse! And saved me from being …this …freak!"

Honami knew about the curse, since she bumped into Ryo in his girl form while he was training outside in the court yard, when his Father knocked him into the water. Honami went over and hugged onto his arm.

"Oh please Ryo don't be mad. I don't mind it. Maybe we can go on an adventure together to find the counter curse. Then we can get married and we'll be…Mr. & Mrs. Saotome of the Anything Goes Marshal Arts!" Oh, didn't I mention she is a money-freak as well?

Ever-since Akane's and Ranma's wedding, Anything Goes Marshal Arts dojo had blossomed into business. So well, that they moved the dojo to a bigger place. They moved a few blocks from Ryo's school. The land was big alright. The dojo was a big as six football fields. The Saotome compound was just half that. Because of Ranma's ex fiancées and his friends took up the job to help teaching with Ranma at the dojo, the business grew gigantically.

Ryo pushed off Honami.

"I will never marry you! I don't care if you told the world about my curse!" Ryo stormed off to his part of the compound and locked himself in his room.

Ryo stayed pretty mad at his parents for a long while. That evening when Ranma, Ryo, Hikaru, and Ranma's old friends got together to practice, they can sense the anger rising greatly in Ryo, which was dangerous.

Ryoga and his wife, Ukyo, was there, especially sensed it first, since they are close to Ryo (Ryo was named after Ryoga, to show no hard feelings between Ranma and Ryoga) (Ryoga and Ukyo were Ryo's God-parents). Tatewaki, or, otherwise know as Kuno, goes over to Mousse, Mousse's wife Shampoo, and Ranma.

"Guess you broke the news to him about the Lovely Honami."

Ranma just sighed and nodded.

"Not takin' it well, huh?" Mousse took a look at Ryo, who sat on a bench, whispering with Hikaru.

"No. He hasn't spoken to me or Akane."

"No worry Ranma. Ryo need time." Shampoo rubbed Ranma's back.

Ryoga walked over to Ryo and sat beside him and Hikaru.

"If your trying to fight on my Pop's side don't. Let him fight his own battles." Ryo snapped before Ryoga could open his mouth.

"Whoa, calm down. I know your Father does run off at times from his battles, but you got to understand this. The arranged marriage is your Family's tradition. And the curse…we still haven't found the cure. I, Mousse, and Shampoo has it, not just you."

Ryo sighs.

"I know…it's just…I am sick of all this."

Hikaru hugs her brother

"Why don't you sit this out? Remember, father said it's dangerous to fight with anger, especially you. Remember you placed Uncle Kuno under a coma….twice."

Ryoga grinned.

"It was funny though."

Ryo gave a weak smile.

"I guess…"

"Well go and mediate, it might help. Now come Hikaru, everyone is waiting." Ryoga got up and walked to the group.

Hikaru let go of her brother and followed Ryoga.

Ryo watched them walk off and meet with the other. After a first minute the group then spilt up and disappeared into the huge forest-like courtyard.

'Why did they just give up? I mean, why not and continue their search?' Ryo was confused. 'I will not give up like them.'

Ryo stood up and made a decision. He will go to Jusenkyõ Springs and try to find the counter-curse. But his heart-ached. What about his family? His Friends? And Ryo had never left Japan without his parents or relatives with him.

'It's time to do this on my own. To prove I am a man, not no woman.' Ryo was about to turn around and go into the dojo until someone shouted.

"Are you the Master of this palace?"

Ryo looked up on the roof of the dojo to see a young boy. He was Hikaru's age. He had dark skin and jet black ponytail that is ties to the side of his head. The rest of his head was shaved. He jumped down before Ryo, that's when Ryo noticed his clothing. He wore a pure gold neck wrap with lines of blue jewels going across. There was a huge light blue jewel in the center of the neck wrap and a small jewel on his forehead. He wore a long linen skirt, with a belt made of leather, covered with the blue jewels. On the belt was a golden sword case, the end of the sword case, was only a few inches from the ground. The boy wore no shoes, and he seemed a bit dirty, as if he was traveling for a long time. He looked very tired, but angry.

"Well are you or are you not the Master of this Palace?" He asked again.

"…Yes…yes I am. What business do you have here...and did you know, your style of clothing died out a long time ago?"

"Silence! I am Prince Ausar, son of Imhotep, from the Kingdom of Oasis."

"I am Ryo Saotome,…." Ryo smiled, 'I'm gonna have fun with him'. "Son of Ranma Saotome, of Anything Goes Marshal Arts Dojo."

"Then…we fight." Prince Ausar withdrew his sword and aimed it at Ryo.

"Let's go then." Ryo got into a fighting stance.

Prince Ausar swung his sword to held it across his chest, he then became to chant.

"Lord of the Wind, bring me the clouds. Fill them with your tears and let them come down on us."

Ryo heard thunder as the sky become cloudy, blocking the sun.

"What? Ohhh..no…anything but rain…" Ryo groaned, and glared at Ausar. "Stop it now!"

"Water from the Heavens, shower down on us!" Then within seconds it started to pour.

Ryo shouted and ran at the boy. Once the water touched him he transformed into his girl form, but it didn't stop hi-eh…her.

Ausar stood in shock.

'It's…the warrior..' However before he could block Ryo punched him right out.

"Ryo!" Hikaru's shouted.

Ryo looked back to see Ranma, Hikaru and Ukyo soaking wet and Mousse, Ryoga & Shampoo changed into some kind of animal. Ryo blinked and looked down at the boy, who is out cold.

Ryo crossed his arms.

"He started it."

Ausar woke up right before dinner. His eyes met with a pair of blue eyes.

"….Isis?" Ausar blinked again, to fully see the girl before him.

It was Hikaru. Her raven hair was all down and she wore a red spring dress she had done from Uncle Kuno and Aunt Nabiki.

She smiled and giggled.

"No, I'm Hikaru."

"You sure? I swear I've seen a goddess…" Ausar smiled.

Hikaru blushed and giggled again. She turned away to her left.

"Mom, he's awake."

"Oh really?" Akane came over, holding some clothes.

She kneeled by Ausar and smiled.

"Well hello there. How are you feeling?"

Ausar sat up and rubbed his right cheek.

"Head hurts…" He mumbled.

"Well you should of ducked when Ryo went to hit you." Hikaru said.

Ausar then jumped up quickly.

"OH! Master Ryo! I must speak with him!"

"Whoa, calm down." Akane took his arm, she then handed him the bundle of clothes. "Change first. You look like you came out of an history book."

"Huh? History book?" Ausar looked at Akane, confused.

"Never mind. Get dressed and come downstairs for dinner. Hikaru, stay outside the room and wait for him. He might get lost."

Ausar then came down with Hikaru, wearing Ryo's old black pants and a white button down shirt. Ausar was perplexed at the clothing but didn't mind much because he had seen so many type of style clothing since he came to Japan. He followed Hikaru to the dinning room, where everyone sat at the table and stopped talking to turn to him.

Shampoo smiled at him and motioned to him to sit beside her.

"Come, come sit. Eat, must be hungry from travel."

Ausar nodded and sat on a fluffy pillow by Shampoo. He looked around and saw Ryo sitting by his Father at the far end of the table. Ryo was studying him, and still wasn't happy about the water thing.

Akane and Ukyo came into the room with bowls and plates full of food and everyone started to pass around food. Once every had their plate full and they all looked to Ausar.

"So what is your name son?" Ranma asked, picked up an egg roll from his plate.

"My name is Prince Ausar, son of Pharaoh Imhotep of Oasis."

Everyone went quiet and gave him a look.

"I told you. The kid must've hit his head." Ryo started to eat, ignoring the shocked people.

"Where is…this Oasis place?" Kuno grinned, believe the kid was smoking something.

"In the Land of Many Sands, or as I heard people call it, Egypt."

Ranma nearly chouck on his egg roll and Akane turned pale.

"Egypt? Really? Wow, you walked all the way?" Ukyo smiled.

"Some of the way. A lot of nice people has given me rides on animals called cars and boats." Ausar nodded.

"Why are you here in Japan?" Ryoga asked.

"I am looking for a Warrior…legend says I must come to the Land of the Rising Sun in order to find him."

Akane looked at her son sadly and Ranma was trying to stomach his egg roll.

"In order to help you fight Anubis." Akane finished Ausar's sentence.

Ausar looked at her, a bit surprised.

"Yes! How do you…"

"We vacationed up in Egypt a long time ago and heard of the Legend of Oasis." Ranma took a deep breath.

Ryo looked at his parents, he didn't understand their sadness.

"Really Pop? Tell us." Hikaru looked at him curiously.
