Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma, so don't sue or anything!
Saotome, it's perfect! What a wonderful way to make Ranma the heir to the dojo without forcing him to marry! You did say he was 16, right? I look forward to your stay. And also, in your last letter, you said there was some kind of surprise. What was it?
Soun
Genma read the letter silently and smiled. 'If only he knew...'
~~
"Akane?!" Soun yelled.
"She's out in the dojo, training, dad." Nabiki told him.
Soun found her in the dojo, just like Nabiki said. "Akane?"
"Yeah, dad?" She asked, not even taking a break.
"You know how I stopped teaching you any martial arts a long time ago?"
"Yeah...?"
"Well, I've decided to hire a trainer who could teach you more."
"A trainer?"
"Yes, his name is Ranma Saotome, about your age. His father and I go way back. He spent most of his life training in China."
"Where would he stay?"
"Uh, here, actually."
"I don't want a trainer!"
"It's already been decided!"
"Fine!" Akane stormed off.
~~
Akane looked out the window. The rain was coming down pretty hard. She had always loved to watch the rain. There was something about it that just seemed to wash away her problems.
~~
"It's raining! Perfect!" Genma cried. "Ranma, we'd better get going. They're expecting us to be there by tomorrow."
Ranma glared at his father. "What do I have to train some girl for anyways?"
"We've gone through this! Let's go!"
~~
Although she enjoyed watching the rain, she was glad it had cleared up the night before. She was eager to start her morning jog. A few blocks from her house, she saw an unfamiliar face. It was a redheaded girl chasing after a panda. Akane shrugged it off and kept jogging, until she realized what she had passed of as normal. 'A girl chasing a PANDA???' Akane stared at the girl, who was shouting some, uh, colorful words. The girl must have noticed Akane's stares, because she turned around, laughed nervously, and asked if she knew where the Tendo Dojo was.
"I'm Akane Tendo, why do you ask?"
"Well, I'm Ranma Saotome, and I'm supposed to be there, I think..."
"You're Ranma? I thought you were a boy."
"About that-" Akane cut him/her off.
"It must've been a mistake. Oh, well, I'd prefer a girl trainer anyways."
"You're the one I'm supposed to train?"
"Yeah. Well, we'd better get home for breakfast." Akane showed her the way to her house and was a little freaked out when the panda started following.
"If it's not too much trouble, could I have a cup of hot tea?"
"Sure." Akane fixed her some oolong tea. Ranma raised the cup and poured half of it over her head. "What are you doing???" She asked, before she noticed she wasn't talking to the Ranma she had met. "Who are you!!!!????"
"Wait, I can explain."
"You're a- you're a CROSSDRESSER?????!!!!!!!!!"
"NO!!!" he exclaimed.
"Akane? What's going on?" Kasumi asked. Soon, Nabiki and Soun entered the room, and Ranma poured the rest of the tea onto the panda.
"Genma!!!"
"Soun!!!"
~~ (One explanation later)
"So... you're a guy." Akane stated, trying hard to comprehend the strange story she had just heard.
"Yeah."
"But you turn into a girl." Kasumi finished.
"Yeah."
"Ok..." Nabiki was shooting Ranma some _pretty_ strange looks.
"So. You start school with Akane tomorrow, and her training sessions will start after that." Genma told his son.
"School???"
A/N: I hope that was a good first chapter! R+R!!! I'll post the next chapter once I get 5 reviews!
