It is said that the eyes are the window to the soul. But no one expected something like this.
What if that window were opened? If someones soul was let out?
Similar things have happened before, correct? People switching bodies for a few days is a switch in souls. But... what if the soul was let free of is cage... Of the eyes?
The soul is a very powerful thing. Just one soul could destroy thousands if tampered with. When it is tampered with in the wrong way the person's entire life can be destroyed in an instant... When something like this happens, the exposed soul shuts itself back into the eyes.
The window is shut completly. After evil experiences, one will not allow the window to be seen through anymore.
The eyes are truly far more than they seem. Those who are blind, don't truly lose there eyes, but just an ability of them. A person can live, if both eyes are taken from them... but there soul... will forever be closed.
Without eyes a person cannot love... not truly. It isn't there fault... but one must see what one loves. Hearing it, Feeling it, Smelling it, Tasting it. All of them come in second to using the eyes to show the soul what one loves.
A man called Genma Saotome, tampered with a soul once. It was the soul of his son, Ranma. It was at a place called Jusenkyo. Honestly, the tampering could be blamed on the place instead of Genma. Genma was just an idiot. An idiot who died for his meddling.
Both Genma and his son were given curses. Ranma went insane on a mad rage to kill his father.
While he was chasing him he accidentally stepped on the face of a man named Ryoga Hibiki. In some timelines, he didn't notice this... he just went on following his father. But in this one he sent Ryoga carreening over the edge of the cliff down into the valley of Jusenkyo.
Instantly snapping from his rage Ranma's thoughts were something like... Damn it! I can't let someone else get cursed because of me!!!
Ranma dived off the cliff for the man leaving a confused Genma Saotome, A.K.A. Panda, behind wondering why his son has stopped chasing him.
"DAMNIT! RANMA THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!" Ranma heard the other man falling with him cry out.
Ranma was forced to ignore the fact that this was his name.
"You CAN'T fall in the springs!!!" Ranma shouted toward Ryoga.
"What? Who're you?" Ryoga said with a stupid look on his face.
Ranma looked down and saw the ground rushing up toward her... This man was going to be cursed and it would be all his fault.
Ranma pointed his female body so that it fell faster than the man. Once he was even with the Ryoga, Ryoga asked again, "Who are you?"
"Just a guy," Ranma answered.
Suddenly Ryoga found himself flying toward the east after Ranma kicked him... or maybe north.
The guide had been watching what the customer had done and was shouting at the top of his lungs.
"NO HONORABLE CUSTOMER! YOU FALL IN SPRING AGAIN YOU NO CHANGE BACK TO NORMAL SELF!!!!"
"I can change back? Oh damn!" Ranma thought as the ground rushed up toward him.
He was falling directly for a spring. His only chance was to make himself fall a little to the left to land on the pole.
He flattened himself out to where he would fall slower... But his female body, being smaller, didnt' slow him down enough.
"If I land in that spring then I cant turn back into a guy! But I can't move!" Ranma thought. The spring came closer and closer he flailed his arms trying to get his body to move to the left. When it was no more that a hundred feet he snapped. "OH SCREW THIS!" Ranma thought.
A blue light suddenly enfolded him and drifted him to the left as his decent speed lessened.
He landed on the pole.
"Whew... Ok so how do I change ba-"
The bamboo pole snapped in half.
Ranma fell into the spring.
Suddenly a huge explosion of white light engulfed the entire valley. Jusenkyo was utterly destroyed.
A mile long crater was left in it's place. The Amazons watched in amazement at the gigantic explosion that destroyed their punishment grounds. The Musk were horrified at the loss of their breeding ground. And the people of Pheonix Mountain swore revenge on those who would destroy the sacred water that allowed their lord to transform.
The Jusenkyo guide was no more than dust. A panda bear named Genma, lay dead as well from the exaustion of keeping up a ki shield. Right on the outskirts of the crater Hibiki Ryoga made his way toward the super power that had decimated the cursed grounds.
And, near the middle of the crater, a redheaded girl screamed. Not for herself that she was cursed... no. It was for the dead panda bear.
She screamed. Forever it seemed like. The scream made blood run cold. All three of the tribes surrounding the valley heard it. Only the leaders of them showed no emotion.
The rest showed fear. Someone was in pain and was making it very clear.
Ryoga had finally reached Ranma who had also finally stopped screaming.
"Wha... What are you?" Ryoga asked.
"I... couldn't have done this... It couldn't have been me... I've never been able to even make an explosion... let alone destroy an entire valley. Ranma said calmly. He... or now she, looked at Ryoga.
When Ryoga saw the redhead's eyes he felt immense pain. He cluched his forhead but bore the pain, just like he did with most headaches. It was far more than a head ache. It was like something was peircing his head with a dagger. Ranma's, once blue, now white eyes cut through the mind. He saw visions of the things that terrified him... as a child... and now. Being alone. Being lost. He saw things that had happened to him in dreams and in his past.
"Hey! Are you ok!? What happened?!" Ranma asked.
"I don't know. Who are you?" Ryoga asked as the pain subsided and he stood. He avoided looking at her eyes.
"My... my name is Ranma Saotome..." Ranma said. "I used to be a guy... but this place cursed me into this... and apparently I can't change back... The guide said I wouldn't be able to if I fell in the spring again... but he didn't say anything about this..."
Ranma looked at her hands... Suddenly they flare with amazing white light. Ranma manipulated the massive supply of energy that couldn't possibly be her own.
"I... killed my own pop... Never kill... Never kill! That's what he always told me! That was the only thing he told me that was over honor... And I broke it!!!!" Ranma cried as fell to her knees and began to furiosly pound at the ground.
"Your... your Ranma Saotome! From my Jr. High School! Your the one who backed out on the fight!!" Ryoga said.
"... I dunno..." Ranma said.
"THAT WAS A MAN TO MAN FIGHT OF HONOR! WHY DIDN'T YOU COME!?" Ryoga shouted.
"...hmph.. honor... I don't have that anymore. I won't fight... never again..... NEVER AGAIN!"
Ranma's body burst into a mix of black and white flame. She used her energy to create a massive pilar of energy and blast it into the air. It was enormous. Residence of Hong Kong could make out the thin line of light in the sky. It was a great swirling twister of black and white energy...
Slowly the great blast of energy faded... Ryoga was entranced by the sheer power being emited.
When the blast finally finished Ranma slumped to her knees and said "Never again."
She then fell unconsious.
*****************************
Three days later Ranma woke. She was moving... she was being carried by someone. But who would carry her? Her pop!? No way! He would neve... He's dead... I killed... him.
"Your awake! Can you run!?" Ryoga asked the girl in his arms.
"What are you talking about? Where are you taking me?" Ranma asked.
"Trying to save your butt from them!!" Ryoga said and motioned with his eyes back to the various people who were following him. It was about then Ranma realized they were moving at speeds close to ninety miles an hour through tree tops.
"Who're they?" Ranma asked. Her voice was calm and sad. Somewhat cold shoulderish if such a word existed. "What do they want?"
"Revenge from you destroying Jusenkyo." Ryoga said.
"Why are you helping me?" Ranma asked.
"You saved me from whatever Jusenkyo would have done to me. Just payback for the debt." Ryoga said.
"Hmph, put me down." Ranma said.
Ryoga did as and jumped to the ground.
Ranma stood and walked toward the advancing groups... Apparently they were also all fighting each other but had a mutual agreement to destroy her. Damn the luck.
"SO YOU'VE FINALLY DECIDED TO STOP RUNNING! GOOD NOW PREPARE TO DIE!!!!" Shouted a female in mandarin who was close to the front of one of the groups.
Ranma knew a little of the mandarion language... mainly the phrase "prepare to die". She knew that one in every language.
Kill me then.
She said loud enough for all of them to hear.
They stopped.
"Huh? You? you want us to kill you?" A man shouted from the group on the far right.
"I have nothing to live for. I have done the worst possible thing I could do for absolutly no reason. And there is no one who even knows of my existance anymore. So kill me. I deserve it." Ranma said defeated.
"I'll gladly oblige," Said a well dressed looking man with white hair. She threw what appeared to be a spear at Ranma's head. It would have struck had Ryoga not intervened.
Ryoga picked Ranma up and began to run again.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Ranma shouted.
"I can't just let someone get themselves killed. Even if they want to!" Ryoga shouted back and then dodged and oncoming fireball. (Saffron)
"But what will I do? It was alway's just me and pop! There is no one else! NO ONE!" Ranma cried.
"Your saying you don't have a mother?" Ryoga returned.
"A... A mother?" Ranma repeated.
"Yeah! You know a little older than you, brought you out of her stomach, that sort of thing?" Ryoga joked. At probably the most inopportune time.
Suddenly a ki blast hit Ryoga directly in the back and knocked him over. He landed under Ranma as the flipped in air and Ryoga took the brunt of the landing on his back while Ranma was in his hands.
Ranma stood.
"Both of you will die! But the "male" goes first!" A girl cried.
Suddenly about three ki blast's exploded from each group heading directly for Ryoga.
"NO!" Ranma shouted. The white light circled her again. She placed herself in front of the ki blasts and all of them deflected off her to fly into nearby trees and brush.
Ranma looked directly into the eyes of the person who fired the strongest ki blast. However she didnt' expect the result. Her intended result was intimidation. What she got was him to keel over cluching his forhead as the evil skeletons in his closet came to haunt him.
"Me... the prince of the musk... lord Herb. Crouching in fear like some coward! DAMNIT!" Herb thought. He suppressed the memories and the pain and stood much like Ryoga had.
"She is... she is evil! A demon. She m..must be destroyed!" He said through staggered breathing. Almost all the people of the musk were taken aback. They had never seen Herb even fall look like he was hurt before.
"You won't touch him... He saved my life. You won't kill him." Ranma stated.
Ryoga sat up.
"Maybe... maybe there is something to live for Ryoga... I'll find my mother and then my cure... I will regain my honor... and my fathers respect from the dead." Ranma said.
And then all hell broke loose.
