(Pitiful. Just Pitiful. I got four reviews, three from the same person.
I had something to do with the fact that FF.net was offline for a few days.
Well this Chapter has gone through about 6 different titles. I kept
changing it untill I found this title. It's good. I like it. On with the
show!)
Chapter 3: To the Land of the Free
After leaving the Pressure Arts Dojo, Ranma had come up with an idea. She remembered back when Kuno had first fought her. He had used air pressure to destroy a post behind her. Air pressure was the whole part of his idea. The since training at the dojo to be able to fight at a distance with air pressure only, she was noticing that using this way of fighting pushed her back when she punched and kicked. And that had given her her idea. If a single punch using air pressure with no ki pushed her back a little what would happen if she used her air pressure punch technique with ki? "I'd go flying backward, that's what," She answered her own question.
"So if I used the technique with my feet, and ki, in midair. I could jump on air!" Ranma deducted.
She was walking along in a forest in China headed for Jousenkyo. She decided she would start constructing a new form while she was training at the dojo. She wouldn't be gone from Nerima for too long, but since she was here a whole new form to come home with would surprise everyone! A form that resided completely in the air. How impenetrable would a form like that be? It would be amazing. So she decided to start making the form now. Who knows? Maybe she could learn to fly with this. To fly. Wow. How much fun would that be.? Oh well, she was dreaming. It's feasibly impossible to fly. If the old ghoul, couldn't do it, she doubted she could.
So she began. Unfortunately, she started off horribly. Using her newest technique (That, to her dismay, had no name. Why wouldn't they name their technique anyway?) with ki first she jumped and then pushed her feet down using the technique slamming herself directly into a higher branch, then falling back to the ground leaving a self imprint. "Ow," She said picking herself out of the human-shaped hole in the ground. "Maybe I should practice in an open field," she thought and left to find one.
Once she got to a more open place she progressed by leaps and bounds. Literally. She began jumping up higher, and higher into the sky. She left the ground so far behind she didn't see anything but the tree tops anymore. The question was. "How do I get down?"
She had to keep jumping to stay up, and this wasn't easy. She had some serious problems keeping herself from slamming down into the forest that stretched on for miles around. The only way she saw that she could get down easy was just jumping and letting her self fall almost to the ground, jumping again to where she was only about 20 feet from the ground and then landing like normal. But in a battle that would be very hard to do, just incase she needed to land. She needed another way to land. But right now she didn't and traveling as the crow flies was much faster so she began jumping toward Jousenkyo with the birds.
Slowly and surly(and about three days later) she made her was along China to the cursed springs. She passed the Amazon village and thought about stopping there. She decided against it because they would most likely contact Cologne. A few of the elders from below noticed her, above but they only sensed her ki. She was above the clouds shielded from vision. The elders noticed her but no one else.
"I can't remember where it is!" Ranma cried. She let herself fall to the ground, jumped again once she got close and landed softly. "I think I remember this place a little," Ranma said aloud. She began to run up a small mountain (to her anyway) and she reached Juosenkyo.
"Finally," she thought.
She jumped down into the valley. Instead of running down the path like last time, this time she just jumped strait down the mountain, with her new found semi-flight.
"There it is," she said aloud after landing, referring to the small hut nearby.
She walked in.
"Oh! Missus, how may I help you?" the guide asked.
"That's sir, and I wanna know what happened to me," Ranma replied in a lower voice.
"Sirs? Wait, you no fall in spring of drown girl did you?" the guide asked.
"Yes, I did a few years ago, but lately somethin' else happened. My hair turned blonde and my curse got locked," Ranma told him.
"Your hair changed color? Hmm. It's sounds like something I recognize. wait a moment please sirs," He said and walked into a closet that Ranma could see was full of books.
"Ah, here we are, sirs. You didn't happen to hear a voice that said something about the blessing of Juosenkyo did you?" The guide asked.
"Yes, why?" Ranma asked.
"Well, I'm sorry sirs but you won't be able to change back into a boy," the guide said in a somewhat sullen voice.
"WHAT!" Ranma cried his aura shining.
"Is true sirs! It happen once every thousand years! And it has been a 1000 years since the last time!" the guide said.
"Let me see," Ranma commanded.
"Here," the guide said.
Ranma saw pictures and writing on an old book called The Blessing of Jousenkyo.
Once upon a time, there was a young girl who fell into the spring of drown man in jousenkyo. Juosenkyo was only about 500 years old at that time. This is the first recording of the occurance of the blessing of jousenkyo. This girl was not a very nice girl but she received her punishment. That was her curse. As a male in her cursed form and normal form she was very beautiful. But. When she received the blessing of Jousenkyo, all of that changed. She became locked in her cursed form. But it wasn't her original cursed form. It was a form that reflected her evil and vicious heart. She lived the rest of her life as a man searching until her dieing day for a cure for the blessing of Jousenkyo.
The second occurance of this happened 1000 years later. A young girl who was very kind and mild mannered, received a male curse, from the spring of drowned man. She disliked her curse but lived with it. She was young but somewhat ugly. Her cursed form was very good looking but still. she was not a man. She was very kind to everyone. Even when she was robbed she later helped the man who mugged her escape the guillotine. But her blessing faired much better than the lasts. She became an amazingly beautiful girl, with long flowing purple hair. She bragged, a little but was too kind to rub it into her friends, who were now not near her beauty. She lived the rest of her life in this form as well.
It has been concluded that The Blessing of Jousenkyo is caused by even temperatured water. EXACTLY even. It happens once every thousand years. Whichever form the person is when the even water hits him/her in is the one they stay in permanently. It is thought to only happen to girls who fall in the spring of drown man. The exact effects are unknown but it is thought that the personality of the person is what is reflected in the outer appearance after the person has received the blessing.
These hypothesizes written by the Jousenkyo guide of the year 1000. A. D.
"Both of them, lived there lives in their cursed form," Ranma thought, "their entire lives,"
"I'm very sorry sirs," The guide said. But Ranma wasn't listening.
"Wait, didn't it say that this only happened to girls who fell in the spring of drowned man?" Ranma asked.
"Well, yes sirs, it did but it was just an asumption," the guide replied.
"Kuso," Ranma musttered, "What about the reflection thingy. So my outer appearance reflects my inner self. My personallity?"
"Yes, I suppose honorable sir," the guide said.
"But.... I'm not a good person, why would I be good looking?" Ranma said.
"Well, sir let me ask you something. Would you let any of your friends die if you could have a cure to this curse?" The guide asked.
"Of course not!" Ranma said automaticly. Then she thought about it. "No way! I would never let Akane or Ryoga or, well, mabye kuno... no probably not I suppose... die for my cure. I mean sure, he's really annoying but I wouldn't let him die for my cure, (Even though he would)"
"Well, sirs that reflects a good heart. Would you die for a friend?"
"Uh... Not Kuno. I'd let him die if the circumstances were really high but, Akane or Mousse or Shampoo. Yeah, I die for them, well I mean if they were going to die that is. If one of them came up to me and asked me to die? Of Course not!" Ranma thought.
"Yeah most of them," Ranma said.
"Well, honorable sirs, there is one chance for a cure," the guide said.
"There is! What is it? I'll do it!" Ranma said franticly.
"Well, the country wasn't around during the time of the last blessing of jousenkyo but now I have read somewhere that there may be a cure in America," The guide said.
"America? Why there? I don't know too much about that place except the language," (Ranma know's the American language. If he didn't in the real series he does in mine. He learned it on his training trip in China.)
"Well, I don't know either sirs. Why would the cure not be in China? But, that's where I've heard the cure is. It may be in a place called, uh Calfina? Callorna? Califina? OH! California! That's it! I remembered sirs," The guide said somewhat nervously.
"California, huh?"
The guide pulled a map out from under a few books inside his hut and examined the world map. "We are here sirs," he said pointing to a spot. This is California," he said pointing to a place on the almost opposite side of the world.
Ranma wanted to cry. THAT FAR?! She'd never be able to make that in a week. Mabye, a month.... mabye. Well with that new skill of his mabye three weeks but... STILL! She wanted to go home soon male!
"Alright then, may I borow this?" Ranma asked picking up the map.
"I suppose so missus, SIRS! Yes, sorry," the guide answered.
Ranma didn't notice his error.
"Thanks, Well, I guess I've got a long way to go.... On to America then," Ranma said sullenly.
