I do not own any of the Anime I included in my stories. I unfortunately do
not make any money off my stories either. If any part of my stories looks
like any other stories out there, it's pure coincidence.

Fusion and Confusion
Chapter 1: Power and Skill
Cloud found himself in a Japanese city. This is definitely bizarre since he was supposed to be in Ranma's head. Furthermore, everything is in Japanese and he doesn't know how to speak or read it. Needless to say, he is quite confused.
{Ok, dream or not, this is stupid. How in the hell am I supposed to 'heal' Ranma if this is his head? I was expecting it to be devoid of everything but martial arts.} thought Cloud.
At this point in time he started to walk around the city. He of course didn't know what the signs said or what the people were saying. He tried to talk to a few of them but they just ignored him. After several attempts of this, Cloud got pissed and grabbed a man. Or at least tried to because his hand went right through the man and he kept on walking.
{What the hell! I just phased through that guy.} Cloud thought. He then tried the next person and the same thing happened.
{Well, that explains why they didn't answer me. I'm either a ghost to them or they're not real.}
He then tried to push through the building next to him but his hand met solid rock.
{Well, the buildings are real at least.} He looked at the surrounding signs on the buildings. {Although I wish I could understand Japane..Whoa} All of a sudden he understood the language.
{Christ! How did that happen? All I did was wish if I could understand Japanese....Hey, that's it} Cloud thought excitedly {If this is really a dream and if I want to do something, then it'll will happen.}
To test this theory out, Cloud directed his glaze to the people and willed himself to understand them. Instantly, he was able to comprehend the Japanese language as well as speak it. Happy with this development, he started to walk around the city more confidently.
After what seemed like hours though, his confidence fled him. Cloud sat down on a bridge as he thought about how he was supposed to help Ranma.
{Man, this is impossible. How am I going to help Ranma if I can't even find any leads. I'll just rest here until I think of a plan.}
As he waited and thought, Cloud listened to sounds of the city; the horns of cars in the distance, the bustle of the people on the bridge, the sirens of emergency vehicles nearby, the yowling of cats under the bridge, the sounds of construction from behind.
{Wait a minute. Yowling?!?}
Cloud got up and trekked under the bridge. He went in the general direction of the yowling and found the source. However instead of a bunch of cats, Cloud found a five-year-old boy. He found Ranma in the nekoken. He wasn't happy to see Cloud in his territory.
{Oh shit!! Neko-Ranma!!!} "Nice kitty, good kitty" Cloud nervously said as he backed up. Then he stopped. {Wait a sec. I can't touch anybody so Ranma can't hurt me. Damn I should have thought that ea..} "AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!"
Apparently Ranma could hurt him since his claws gave Cloud a set of nasty cuts and threw him into the wall. Cloud decided that running was the best option at the moment. However, as he ran, Neko-Ranma wanted to have fun with his prey. The chase went through the city and was causing massive destruction by Ranma's ki claws. The citizens just ignored it and Cloud found himself in a tight bind.
{Ok, Ok, think! What can I do? He's way more powerful then me.} Cloud barely dodged another swipe getting his clothes torn again. He then thought of the obvious and nearly hit himself. {Damn it, I'm an idiot. I CAN make myself more powerful. This is my dream; I'll just use the Kaiou- ken.}
With a shout of "KAIOU-KEN," Cloud was enveloped in an aura of red ki. He smiled, stopped and blast towards Neko-Ranma. While surprised, Neko-Ranma was able to dodge the clumsy punch and responded with barrage of swipes. Cloud was mauled and the pain caused him to lose his concentration and the Kaiou-ken. Neko-Ranma attacked again and in spite of the pain, Cloud was able to move and start running again.
{Damnit! Damnit! Damnit! I can get the power but I don't know any martial arts. That makes that approach useless.} Cloud looked over his shoulder and saw Ranma gaining on him. {I need a new plan. If over-powering him won't work, maybe I can calm him down like in the series. Ok, who can calm him down? It has to be someone nice and peaceful. I know, Kasumi! Ok think Kasumi. Ack!}
Cloud found himself morphing into Kasumi. He tripped and Neko-Ranma went sailing over Cloud.
{No no no no, not the actual Kasumi. Think Cloud.} He morphed back to himself. {Ok, it's not Kasumi but the aura that she projects which is calm and peaceful. Ok, it's her aura. Now think Kasumi aura.}
Neko-Ranma was stalking his prey when it felt different. Instead of being dangerous, it felt comforting. With a meow, Neko-Ranma trotted to Cloud and nuzzled his legs. When Cloud knelt down, Neko-Ranma jumped into his lap and fell asleep. Cloud fell on his ass and started to pet Ranma.
{Man, that was close. Ok, that worked. Now what?}
The answer was Ranma becoming surrounded in a bright white light and then disappeared. The light however was absorbed into Cloud.
=============
Kami-sama smiled as Cloud's body faded a bit.
=============
As the light faded, Cloud found himself completely refreshed and healed. His clothes were repaired as well.
{What the!?! Well, that was different. What now?}
The area flared with white light and Cloud suddenly found himself in a dogi. His clothes were also exchanged for a gi. Cloud looked around the room and at his clothes.
{Well, I guess I'll be addressing my deficiency in the martial arts department.}
At this point, a fifteen-year-old Ranma came in and closed the door. He was also dressed in a gi.
"Hey Ranma, are you going to teach martial arts?" Cloud asked.
Ranma just bowed to Cloud and then attacked. Cloud found himself on the ground and in a lot of pain. As Cloud got up, Ranma attacked again and Cloud greeted the floor once more. He got up again.
"What the hell Ranma!! Why are attacking me...Whoa" Cloud barely dodged the first punch only to be hit with the follow-up attack. Cloud thought to stay down but Ranma attacked him when he stayed down as well. Cloud was forced to get up and was brutally assaulted by Ranma. In spite of the pain, he was desperately thinking of a plan.
{Oww. Damn it. How am I going to get out of this? Ouch! Ok I don't.Oww.know any martial arts but.Damnit that hurts.maybe I can learn it from .Double oww.Ranma like I learned.Shit.Japanese from the people.}
Although in serious pain, Cloud started to watch Ranma's movements. Ranma overwhelmed him and Cloud took a viciously beating but he was able to learn the moves Ranma was doing. Of course when Cloud tried these same attacks back, they were countered but Cloud learned them as well. Then Ranma attacked with a more complex series of violence and put Cloud in a hurt locker once again. However he learned this as well and struck at Ranma once again. This cycle repeated itself over and over for hours. After passing the fourth hour of this, both combatants were in serious pain. At the moment they were circling each other.
{Damnit! Oww! He hasn't shown me any new moves for the last half an hour. I suppose since I know I can use the Kaiou-ken I can do it. However, if Ranma is like me and can learn an attack just by watching it, I better take him out fast.}
With that thought in mind, Cloud ran straight towards Ranma. Ranma countered and fight began anew. However, the first time Cloud got behind Ranma, he invoked the Kaiou-ken. With this power surge, he rammed Ranma and pinned him to the ground. Despite having no leverage, Ranma started to thrash and flair.
"Damn it Ranma, stop moving" Cloud said as he frantically held on to the unrelenting Ranma. "I don't want to break your arm. Christ, losing is apart of martial arts too you know."
With those words, Ranma stopped moving completely. As Cloud started to get up, this Ranma was also encircled in a bright white light and disappeared. The light for a second time was absorbed into Cloud.
=============
Cloud's body faded a bit more.
=============
{Man, this is weird. I feel completely refreshed again. What the hell was that anyway? Oh no, not again.}
The area flared with light again and Cloud disappeared.
