Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or Ranma, hell I don't even own any anime! I only have pirated stuff that ain't even in English! Bwahhahahahah!! Y'know, it'd be a lot cooler if I could understand it and not just look at the pretty pictures, bright lights and.ooooohhhh bright lights. *Wonky_donkey get's a little distracted by a passing car, it happens a lot as he lives under a bridge in a cardboard box*
Simply put, I don't own squat, let alone these any of these characters in this pathetic first attempt at a Fanfiction.
"Speech" 'Thoughts' Flash backs
Ranma walked into the house silently. There was no sound to his foot falls; it was as if someone had hit the universal mute button. This was another weird thing that had appeared in the list month. After the battle with Saffron, whenever he heard a noise that he had made, he felt unnatural and out of place. It wasn't like he didn't like the other sounds around the house; it was just that he felt weird when it was him that made them.
-
Ranma made his way through the house until he reached the dining room. As soon as he had entered the house he had determined by extending his senses where everyone was. He opened the door to see his mother sitting on a Japanese mat, Japanese style, wearing her traditional Japanese kimono. (Author's note: Hey what'd you expect, they live in Japan.)
-
There were two more people in the room apart from his mother, he had known it as soon as he had extended his senses. He had been hoping to avoid conversation with one of them ever since Jusendo,and if he had his way, never to talk or interact with the other one ever again.
"Hello mother, Akane.. Oyaji." He said looking at each one as he said it, his voice only slightly louder than a whisper. He loved all of them, he loved his mother, (disliked the "un-manly" comments and the pledge, but she still was his mother.) and he loved Akane, not as a lover but somewhat as a peer and sister. His father. well *only* love would be strong enough to stop him from killing the old fool after being taught the Neko-ken and the trip to Jusenko.
"Hello my son, come sit down." She started off, before turning to Akane, "Akane dear, do you mind if I have a chat with my son and husband?" then slightly raising her voice, "IN PRIVATE, IF YOU PLEASE."
-
As if to answer her request, there a sound of shuffling feet in the hallway outside the room. Akane got up and without looking at Ranma, she crossed the room and left, closing the door behind her. It wasn't as if she didn't like him either, just, they had grown out of love, ever since the Saffron incident.
-
By now the old man was sweating enough to activate his curse. Having talks with his wife while she was this calm, had never left him unscathed. Ranma calmly sat down on the other side of his mother. The only thing separating them was a small coffee table. The mother and son locked eyes for a moment before they heard a, "Growf."
Genma had apparently sweated enough to change forms.
Nodoka gave him a glare, before requesting, "Dear, I need you in your human form."
Ranma almost went out to the kitchen to get some hot water when suddenly Panda-san made a cloud that gave off a "Poof!" sound. When the smoke cleared Genma was sitting there in his human form in a pool of sweat.
Ranma was shocked, 'How did the old man changed back without hot water?!' he thought. 'If the old man's been holding out on how to change back without hot water without informing me..'Being the one that brought them to jusenko, it was only fair that Genma gave his son any news of a cure, and if the un-honorable bastard refused. well lets just say that after years of torment/training, Ranma had some interesting ideas how to convince his dear father.
-
Nodoka then turned her head to Ranma and broke his musings with, "Ranma, your father just gave me an interesting account of your trip to China. I would like your version of the story please."
-
This couldn't be good he thought, she had probably heard that he had killed someone, and was wondering if failing as a martial artist was an unmanly act.
-
"Tell me everything that happened. All of it. Your feelings, thoughts, everything." She then noticed his growing discomfort, " I will not hold the seppuku pledge against you." She added, looking saddened.
-
That was one thing Ranma Saotome could not stand. Seeing a female unhappy chilled his soul, it was some thing he couldn't permit. He let loose. He told the entire story to her, he didn't hold back at all. After he had finished, for better or worse, he now felt better that he had gotten it out.
-
Nodoka sighed. Tsunade was right. From what she had heard, the seal that she placed on him all those years ago had broken, and while he seemed to have incredible strength, she knew he still required training to survive in her world. It was time for him to learn of his past.
-
"Genma.." She said with a bitter-sweet tone in her voice, ".it would seem that he has broken the pledge. Prepare for the consequences."
Genma practically emptied his bladder at that point.
'NO! Anything but that!' the balding martial artist mentally screamed.
Ranma on the other hand was reeling in shock, didn't she just say he wouldn't be held accountable for what he said? Did she just forget what she had just said?
- Silence.
Genma sweated
Ranma prepared for the worst, a tense look was on his face
Nodoka blinked in confusion.
Nodoka was puzzled at the look on Ranma's face, until she realized her mistake in her wording.
"Ranma don't worry. I will not hold you to the seppuku pledge. There is another that you do not yet know of."
Ranma was *nearly* relieved. On one of his mind, he was glad that he wasn't going to have to commit seppuku. But on the other side of his mind, he was scared.
Nodoka didn't exactly have a good track record so far when it came to pledges, and from his father's reaction, he assumed this one wasn't any better than the last. He just prayed to any Kami that was watching/laughing- at them now that his father hadn't been involved in making the pledge.
-
Nodoka broke Ranma out of his thoughts with, " Your father and I made this pledge over eight years ago.." Ranma resisted the urge to smack his forehead, " it was for your own safety." This time he had to grab his right hand to resist beating his forehead into the back of his skull.
The seppuku pledge was to *ensure* that he was raised in a manly way, for his own good of course.
-
"It is time for you to learn about your history." His mother said, confusing him. "Indifferent to everyone's beliefs that I am from a samurai family, I am actually from a noble lineage. A noble *Ninja* lineage." "..." Ranma said intelligently. "..." Genma was too busy going over the excuses he would use when being trialed by Emma-o in the afterlife to speak.
Author's notes: Oooohhhh. Pretty cliff-hanger. well you find out more in the next chapter. BWAHAHAHAHAH!
