My thoughts
=????'s voice=
Chapter 1: And So It Begins
I was disoriented. One voice in my head asked Who, What, When, etc…? the other was thinking How many ways are there to cook panda? and How much do zoos pay for live, if damaged, pandas?
I was about to voice all of my thoughts when the voice from the night before spoke up. =Your soul is now fused with the body of the one known as Ranma Saotome. You will feel his thoughts and emotions along with your own until they have become one in the same.= Then it added with sarcasm, =Enjoy.=
Well that explains why I am hearing multiple voices in my head. My knowledge of this world will give me an advantage. But, I can't change too much, or else all I know will become useless. Hum, I'm gonna need an excuse for when I let my for-knowledge show. It was then I noticed that the panda, my 'father', standing in front of me holding a sign that read, [What is wrong with you boy? Why haven't you moved?] I looked up at him and smiled while thinking, Hello Excuse!
Genma's look of confusion turned into shock when he saw that I was looking at him, and then fear when he glimpsed my smile.
I finally got out of the pool while the Guide said, "Not to worry young sir. Curse will reverse when splashed with hot water, but… curse will activate again when splashed with cold water."
While Pop was distracted by the guide's voice, I dashed forward, put him into a hold, and spoke into his ear. "Listen and agree, and maybe I won't beat you black and blue."
Genma stopped struggling to break my grip so I continued, "We are going to his hut," pointing at the guide, "we are going to change back, and you're gonna tell me everything you have done, every promise you may have made, that could come back to haunt us later. If, I am convinced that you told me everything then I will, only, kick you into the upper stratosphere." The panda grimaced but nodded his head, and we followed the guide back to his hut.
After a quick soaking in hot water (boiling for the panda), Genma began recalling everything, only needing a few cold stares in order for him to clear up some details. Now, whenever I seem to know too much on 'some' topics, I have a reason. When he ask why I wanted to know, I sent him into the upper stratosphere via a well-placed kick, to keep good on my promise. I always wanted to do that
The rest of the trip through China went accordingly, including the visit to the 'Village of the Amazons' I will eventually need Cologne to be there no matter how annoying she, Shampoo, and Mousse will be later on.
The only change that I made to my day-to-day life was that I would spend an extra hour training myself at night when Genma was asleep. Preparation equals survival were the thoughts that prompted me on through the late hours.
Saffron! The thought darkened my mood.
Author's notes: How is that for my first chapter? Please let me know through reviews, e-mail, or IM (the necessary information is on my bio page).
As always, any and all flames will be used to make popcorn, but constructive criticism, suggestions, and praises will be accepted with open arms. I will not set a date for when I will post the next chapter because too many factors will manipulate that date.
And thanks to 'Tribble-girl' for her suggestions
