Authors Notes- Hi guys! This is my first Naruto Fanfiction, my first Ranma Fanfiction, as well as, well, heck, my first story ever! So whatever criticism you have for me I will gladly accept it! Anyways, this story is going to get a little violent at times, and hopefully not OOC for anyone, so here it is!

Disclaimer- Ranma belongs to Rumiko Takahashi (who is awesome!)

Naruto on the other hand belongs to Masashi Kishimoto (who is as awesome as Miss Takahashi!)

Flowers Bloom Twice

It was just another normal day for Sakura Haruno.

She got up out of her nice warm bed; pink hair frizzled, as usual, and yawned loudly, hearing the comforting and familiar sounds of her family down stairs. She groggily made her way to the bathroom, and once there changed out of her cute pig pj's and got into her normal red dress. The dress was short sleeved with little circles on the sides of the arms that had a white streak in the center at the bottom that went down to the end of her sleeves. She had another white circle at the front and back of her dress down by her knees, since her dress went just pass her knees. After zipping it up and straightening it out -brushing out the imaginary dirt that was on it- she pulled a brush out from the top shelf of the bathroom cabinet. Brushing out her matted and tangled mane-which was a tiring process since her hair could get into knots very easily when she slept- she looked around for her leaf forehead protector, and then remembered she had thrown it next to her bed last night.

After finding her leaf forehead protector, which consisted of a band of metal, attached to cloth with the symbol of their village- the leaf- on the center of it. She then fixed up her hair by leaving some bangs in the front and the headband on the top of her head instead of over her forehead like many ninjas wore it. Slowly she made her bed and sauntered downstairs for breakfast. Saying goodbye to her mother, and grabbing a few choice scrolls for practice, her kunai, and a jacket since after she worked out she didn't want to get cold, she then made her way to her special clearing.

Once there, she set down her scrolls and took in her surroundings. The clearing was located in the center of the woods, where a small stream trickled through. Sunlight flickered through the tall imposing trees leaving the clearing lighted in a state of green on this clean sunny day. The birds sung merrily in the trees and the ever-shifting branches made the light constantly change. Trees surrounded the small patch of grass, and a small stream ran through the woods at one end of the clearing. All in all this was a little piece of heaven that had come down to earth and she had claimed it for herself.

Here was where she would practice till she couldn't move anymore, here was where her charka control was strengthened and here was where she went to cry when she realized that she was holding everyone back and that she had to work harder to get better so that she could be on their level, a promise she had kept which was why she was here at the moment.

Picking the scrolls back up and selecting one, she opened it and got to work. She was planning on trying a new stamina spell that she made that would help her gain strength by doubling the amount of work she did since she knew she wasn't up to par with Naruto and Sasuke. Summoning up her Charka, she began the jitsu.

That's when things started going terribly wrong.

Instead of feeling the energy that she was supposed to feel surrounding her body from the jitsu she made up, she instead felt a terrible pulling at her body. All of a sudden she knew that she had in some way shape or form performed the jitsu wrong. She was in the process of trying to counteract the stamina jitsu she made when she suddenly felt her near perfect control of her charka slip, and by then most of her charka was being released from her body.

Then it happened…

She was being drawn closer towards a shimmering sort of wave in the air. Looking closer at it since at this point she could no longer move her body, she stared at the wave of shimmer in morbid fascination. It was about one and a half feet wide and about half as tall as she was. It also was slowly pulsating with a beat that was irregular and, to her anyways, was scary. She knew by this point that she was doomed, no one would get to her quick enough since not many knew where she was, in fact no one did. All she had told her parents was that she was going out to train and neither Naruto or Sasuke knew where this place was, and she certainly hoped that Kakashi-sensei didn't know because if he had seen her dancing in the clearing- a favorite pastime of hers- then she would never live it down if he told. She also knew that by the time anyone sensed that amount of charka being released that she would have already been sucked into the shimmering wave.

Resigning herself to her fate she allowed her self to be sucked into the wave-as if she had any other choice- and started mentally preparing for what she would do when she received control of her limbs again. She was thankful that everything she had brought with her, except her water, which she set down earlier, was still on her person. The scroll was stuck in her motionless hands and the other scrolls where in her pocket, her kunai were on her leg and for once she was glad that she had brought extra.

Then she was there

And then she was sucked through and then she wasn't there…

At the exact moment she was sucked into the shimmering wave Kakashi landed in the clearing, looking around…

As for Sakura she was standing still one moment slowly being pulled into a strange shimmering-wave-thingie and then the next second she was falling through the air. Taking a quick look around at where she was, she figured she had time since she was pretty far up in the air; she saw that she was falling towards a house with a pond and three people in the yard. The house was like none she had ever seen and the people where wearing clothes of the like she had never seen in her life.

Then she was on the ground…

The two boys where fighting apparently since they where in the middle of attacking each other with such strange attacks as 'chestnuts roasting over a fire' and 'breaking point' the first obviously hitting the second boy and the second attack destroying a lot of ground.

The first boy had his hair pulled back into a pigtail and was wearing a red sleeveless shirt with pegs in it, as well as black pants and slippers!? He was the one throwing the punches as well as bearing a cocky grin.

The other boy had a yellow and black bandanna on his head and had a yellowish long sleeved shirt on as well as black pants with orange strings crisscrossed over the bottom part. He also wore slippers and was in the process of destroying the ground in an attempt to attack the red shirted boy.

There was also a girl sitting on the porch? of the strange house? who was just calmly watching the fight? She was wearing a simple white blouse and a blue dress. She showed shock and surprise when she saw Sakura land and started to get up.

She took all this in in a single moment, and by the time the boys had noticed anything was off, she rolled up her scroll and put it away. She grabbed two of her kunai and pointed them at the two frozen boys ready to do anything necessary to survive in this world that she had suddenly been dropped into.

Well that's all folks! Ummm (sheepish grin) can anyone help me with the html codes and stuff cause I have no honest idea what I'm doing....
