Heavenly Intervention
Chapter 01
This Can't Be Right
Josh awoke the next morning with a shock as a sharp pain in his bottom awoke him. "What the...?" Josh wondered,
looking around to see where he was, or rather he tried. The room he was in seemed to be nothing but blinding lights.
He could hear voices all around him, the voices were happy and that calmed him down a little bit. His eyes adjusted a
moment later and he could see blurs of people standing around... upside down. Josh then tried to look up but he could
not seem to lift his head. It was him who was upside down.
Josh was set down a moment later and he had a quiet inquisitive look about him as he was wrapped in a small blanket
and placed in a woman's arms. His eyes adjusted a little more and he held up his weakened arms to realize that he
was... a baby. Josh almost panicked but his own words came back to him like a crushing mallet. "To be reincarnated
into the Ranma 1/2 world." Josh sighed and allowed what he suspected was his mother to hold him and gaze at him
fondly. Josh could now see the woman that held him quite clearly. She was a very beautiful Japanese woman with
short, shoulder length black hair. Josh smiled at her. He also noticed, moments later, a man standing beside the
woman with tears streaming down his face in elated joy.
Josh frowned at the man, he seemed a little bit familiar, he had short black hair and a mustache. He was wearing fairly
normal clothing. Josh didn't know where he knew the man from. He frowned even more as his mother, her husband,
and the doctors around them discussed things. She couldn't understand a single word they were saying. It was
angering him. 426 was right, she realized. He should have thought out his special request more, then he would have
thought to learn Japanese.
Josh sat there for a few more moments and then there was a silence as his mother looked down at her with a smile.
Josh became worried at the look the woman was giving her and shrunk back a little bit in the blanket. The woman
then spoke. She only said one word but finally it was a word that Josh knew, or rather a name. And a name that he
desperately did not want to hear at a time like this.
"Akane."
*****************
Soun Tendo smiled as he entered his home in the Nerima district of Tokyo Japan with his wife Kimiko close behind,
carrying a baby that looked quite displeased. He had just returned from the hospital after picking up Kimiko and their
new baby girl Akane. "Were home!" He called pleasantly into the house with a boisterous voice.
The pitter patter of tiny footsteps rang through the house and a moment later a little girl, no older than maybe two or
three years old ran into the hallway where Soun and Kimiko stood, taking off their shoes. "DADDY!" The little girl
shouted as she ran towards Soun, and jumped.
With expert precision the man caught the leaping girl in mid air and hugged her to his chest softly. "Hello Kasumi."
He said fondly before setting his daughter back onto terra firma.
The girl then walked to her mother and pulled on her dress lightly. "Wanna see!" She said excitedly while eyeing the
red blanket that had the newborn baby was wrapped in.
The woman smiled softly and slowly bent down to the ground so that her eldest daughter could see her new sister.
Josh smiled lightly at the little girl who stared at her in wonder as she was lowered to her eye level. The little girl had
light brown hair and there was no doubt that this was Kasumi. Her childish demeanor was very new to her though.
The excitement and intrigue in her eyes was very different from the Kasumi that she remembered from the animes that
she had seen. It made her realize just how much Kasumi may have lost with the death of her mother, perhaps even
more than Akane or Nabiki.
Josh chuckled at that thought, she was actually Akane, but she kept thinking of her as a completely different person.
"Wow!" Kasumi said as she looked as the reincarnated baby. "She's so small." Kasumi poked and fused with Josh for
a moment and then looked up at her mother who looked like a very successful business woman in her suit. "What's
her name?" She asked softly, as though any loud noise would upset the baby.
"Her name is Akane." Kimiko said softly. She continued with a smile. "And she seems to like you a lot." She said as
Akanes fingers instinctively wrapped around Kasumis finger.
Josh smiled, and pointed to Kasumi. Josh had been trying to speak the entire time she was in the hospital but she
couldn't seem to make any comprehensible noises at first. She was able to say a few English words but only small
ones. She had developed enough in the last week though and decided to drop the silent treatment that she'd been
using and try to say something else. "K...k...konnnn...konniii..."
Kimiko looked down at Akane in surprise, that was the first sound that she had made ever since she was born.
"What's this?" She said in surprise.
Josh tried to clear her throat and tried again, still pointing at Kasumi. "K...koni...chi, wa." Josh said. She was able to
pick up some small Japanese words from the various subtitled anime that he had watched over the years like Urusei
Yatsura and she smiled now that she was able to get a little bigger of a word out of her tiny vocal chords, she hated
not being able to speak. Normally she loved just listening to the sound of her own voice... well that was when she still
actually WAS Josh VanHalteren.
Kimiko gasped and nearly dropped Akane from her arms. She quickly fixed her state and kept Akane safe in her arms.
"Oh my god!" She said, startled while staring at the child. "That's impossible!"
Soun who did not actually hear Akane looked confused. "What's a matter dear?" He asked.
Kimiko stood up with a now triumphant and smiling Akane. "Ak...Akane just said her first word." Kimiko said,
almost not able to believe it herself, even though she had just heard in with her own ears.
Soun smiled as if it was just a joke. "That's ridiculous." He stated. "No child that young could speak."
Kasumi giggle and pulled on her fathers pant leg excitedly. "Daddy! Akane said hello to me!" She said.
Soun gawked at his daughters statement. He was still in shock. "Kasumi never lied about anything. She wouldn't
make up something like that just to upset daddy. Soun looked down at Akane and studied her with his eyes. He was a
martial artist so he could read body language pretty well. "Did you just say hello to your sister Akane?" He asked, not
expecting an answer of any kind from the infant. Akane nodded her head and gave her father a thumbs up.
Souns brain decided that that was the perfect time to shut down. "She... tal...ked." He stated as his eyes rolled back in
his head and he fell backwards, slipping into unconsciousness.
*************
Soun awoke hours later on the ground with an ice pack on his head, Kasumi was kneeling at his side and his wife was
kneeling beside her holding little Akane. "Honey? Are you okay?" Kimiko asked her husband.
Soun looked over to Kimiko and then eyed Akane who was looking at him with a frown. Soun didn't even try to get
up out of the futon that they had placed him in. "Did... Did Akane actually speak?" He asked. Nodoka nodded and
then Soun sat up letting the ice pack fall into his lap. "Do you know what this means?" He asked darkly, his eyes
covered by his long bangs. The little baby Akane with the mind of Josh VanHalteren looked at the man a little scared
and shrunk back into her mothers cushioned chest.
"What does it mean dear?" Kimiko asked eagerly.
"Yata?" Akane said, almost unconsciously, not knowing what the hell everyone was saying save for one or two small
words.
Soun turned to his wife and burst out into an ecstatic almost hysterical smile. "AKANES A GENIUS BABY!!!" He
said almost too happily. Tears then began to stream down his face in bliss as he began to fantasize about the future. A
far off stare taking over his facial features as he clasped his hands together and began to narrate his thoughts. "I can
see it now... Akane gets into the highest profile University in the world, learns several languages, travels the world,
becomes the head of a mega corporation that eventually takes over every technological company and franchise in the
world, she'll get married.......to some...one."
Akane glared at Soun as he stressed that last part. She recognized the word marriage and just knew who he was
talking about immediately. Like HELL she was going to marry Ranma. She was still a guy at heart.
Soun continued. "She'll cure Cancer and every other disease, have lots of babies, settle down and then let her husband
take over the dojo... then the name Sao...Tendo," Soun looked at his wife for a moment to make sure that she didn't
catch his slip up and then continued. "will go down in history."
Akane rolled her eyes at her supposed fathers rant. It was just like the anime and the manga except it was all real... It
looked kind of odd because of the realism but she shrugged at her thoughts figuring that she'd get used to it soon
enough. Her first concern was learning the rest of the Japanese language. *Damn it!* Akane thought, with Joshes
voice in her head. *I can't wait till I'm strong enough to walk having to be carted around is a pain in the ass.*
After Soun finished his big spiel and they were all finished talking in a language that Akane couldn't understand,
Kimiko took the infant up to her room with the big wooden duck on it and placed her in the crib inside. Josh didn't
really have to sleep though because she still had the mind of a seventeen year old, her biological clock wouldn't let her
sleep a full ten hours until it was at least ten o'clock. Akane groaned as she turned her oversized head to the clock on
the wall and noticed that it read 7:00. She was lucky that numbers were the same as in English.
For the next three hours it was a living hell finding things to do. The crib was like a prison and being trapped in a
babies body was a HUGE restriction for someone who was used to being six foot two and 165 lbs.
It was going to be a long, long life indeed, she needed a book or something... maybe Stephen King, or something
funny...
Tiredness soon enveloped Akane and she fell asleep.
**************
Six months later. Akane sighed as she walked into the living room where Nabiki and Kasumi were playing with some
oversized kiddy blocks. Due to the fact that her parents thought she was a genius baby they started teaching her
Japanese at a, normally, alarming pace for such a young child. Kasumi brightened considerably when Akane entered.
"Akane!" She said, as Nabiki got bored with the blocks and started scribbling in a colouring book. "Want to play with
me?" The eldest Tendo daughter asked her sister.
Akane sat down sullenly and shook her head. "No." Kasumi frowned but continued to play and construct with the
blocks. Akane eyed the colouring book that Nabiki was using and smiled at the sight of the crayons. She then
frowned. *They're just crayons." She reminded herself. *How could I create real art with that garbage?* Akane then
began to sulk again. She did this often. There never seemed to be anything to occupy her teenage mind. She was
limited to little kids toys.
Akane tilted her head to one side in the direction of the kitchen. "Mom!" She called out in her tiny baby voice.
Moments later Kimiko came out of the kitchen in an apron.
"What's the matter Akane?" She asked.
Akane frowned. "Want to draw... Want a pencil." She said in slightly broken Japanese to her new mother.
Kimiko walked over to where the young Nabiki was lying down laughing and scribbling and picked up the case of
crayons. "Akane there's Crayons right here.
Akane rolled her eyes. "No! Pencil." She said making writing motions with her tiny hands.
Kimiko walked forwards and picked Akane up into her arms. "Come on sweety." She said walking towards the stairs.
"Lets go see if there's something my genius baby can play with in mommy's office." Akane smiled and hugged her
mother. Finally she could get a pen and some blank paper. Akane desperately needed something to cure the pain of
boredom that was enveloping her mind.
The pair climbed the stairs and entered Kimiko Tendo's office. She was a successful business woman but worked at
home so that she could also take care of her three daughters while Soun taught classes in the dojo. She was surprised
to see Akane sitting in the dojo a few times watching the classes. She seemed to take great interest in the art and her
husband only encouraged it. What was even more surprising was the fact that Akane would sometimes imitate her
father and the students as they practiced.
Kimiko smiled as she sat down with Akane at her desk. She seemed to be the perfect child, she cut herself sometimes
but never cried, she was always calm, slept through the entire night, and never soiled or wet herself. It was so easy to
take care of the little angel.
Kimiko sighed though. Despite all the good points about Akane there were some overwhelming bad points. She did
recall the Akane hated being held by Soun, or any male. She was upsetting her father in that sense. She also didn't
seem too affectionate to her either, she seemed to be off in her own little world, as though there was always
something on her mind.
Akane was ecstatic as she crawled onto the desk and grabbed the first pen that she saw. She found a piece of blank
paper after ruffling through important documents. Josh then noticed a few documents typed out in English, her eyes
widened at the sight. She recalled hearing that most Japanese business people learned English which was used
worldwide as the "business language'. Akane set the blank piece of paper and looked at a couple of them. She had
never heard her new mother speak English and had never tried speaking the language to her. Akane then noticed a
document written in her mother's hand writing... in English.
Akane set the pen down on top of the paper and looked up at Kimiko. "Mother?" She said in English. It sounded odd
as most words coming out of one so young did.
Kimiko gasped. If she was still holding Akane she would have probably dropped her from the shock. "A...Akane?"
She asked.
"Do you know English?" The infant asked.
Kimiko stared at her newest born daughter and then stuttered in English. "Y...Yes. Akane how do you know
English?" She wondered not expecting to hear more than one or two words from her as usual.
She was surprised again. "Mom, what is it that you do?" She asked in flawless English. "At work." She added.
Kimiko sat back in her chair and stared at her daughter. "This is unreal." She said in English.
Akane smiled and leaned back a little. "It's kind of funny I think." Akane said. "I mean, a six or so month old infant
with a full 17 year old English vocabulary and a limited understanding of Japanese?" Akane then leaned forward
looking at Kimiko. "I never thought that I'd even get stuck in the body of Akane... dumb bad luck I guess." She said
with a giggle.
Kimiko looked inquisitive. "Stuck in...? Are you an Demon of some sort that's possessed my daughter?" She asked
worried.
Akane shook her tiny head. "I'm afraid not. Like it or not I'm actually your daughter Akane. The reason I have this
intelligence and vocabulary is because I've been reincarnated. In my last life I was a man. Died at age seventeen... it
was pretty sad."
"Your reincarnated?" She asked. Akane nodded.
"My old name was Josh. I went to heaven and was reborn." Kimiko passed out just then. Akane looked at her
confused. "Must have been a delayed reaction or something." She stated, while looking at her unconscious mother.
Josh shrugged and began to scream to get somebodies attention so that they could help. It wouldn't do to be stuck
here for god knows how long. She picked up the pen and paper just in case.
***************
Two years later. Akane was now two years and six months old, Kasumi was five and Nabiki was now three. The girls
all got along well together except Akane often went off to do her own thing. She was very skilled in drawing and
bought several how to draw books. The fridge in the kitchen was covered in her, Nabiki's, and Kasumi's art work.
Several high schools were eyeing her as well as public schools and even colleges knew about her. Kimiko had taken
her in to several places to test her skills in literacy, and artistic skill. She was currently drawing at a college level,
word had spread and the Tendos had been getting a lot of attention with Akane.
Kasumi was still a happy little girl and was almost ALWAYS in the kitchen helping and learning from Kimiko. She
loved to watch cooking shows and often mentioned that she wanted to someday have her own cooking show.Kasumi
was always running around and climbing trees with Nabiki when she wasn't in the kitchen. Nabiki was your average
three year old. She just wanted to play and climb trees and bugs, and icky stuff that's squishy. Akane smirked as she
drew in her sketchbook. It was pretty funny sometimes when she would bring in frogs and mice from the parks they
went to. She really loved to get dirty and Akane had trouble seeing the manipulative bitch that developed from her in
the Ranma 1/2 anime. She was... normal.
Akane sighed and put the pencil down. Kimiko was going to die when she reached the age of ten and it would
inevitably have a large effect on Kasumi and Nabiki. Akane looked over to Soun who was happily reading a paper as
he drank his morning tea at the open shogi. It saddened her. He was such a kind and caring man, he only thought
about the well being of his daughters and had so much love for his family. She could see that he was in a virtual
heaven on earth. He had the perfect family, everything was peaceful, and he had a job that he loved to do. It was
really sad that he would eventually have a breakdown over his wife's death.
For some strange reason Akane, despite the fact that she had the mind of a seventeen year old male Canadian, she had
a good deal of love for his new family. She felt obligated to help Soun through his pain when the inevitable came. He
was a good man and she appreciated all that he did for her. The teaching that she was currently receiving would
ensure that she would become a better fighter than Ranma someday. She had a head start. Akane smirked and then
looked at the paper that she had been drawing on. She then looked at the how to draw manga book her mother had
purchased for her.
Akane smiled mischievously. She began to draw.
*****************
Soun smiled as he sat in front of the open shogi doors watching Kasumi and Nabiki try to catch the koi that were in
the little pond that they had made a week before. It was a lovely Sunday and he was going to enjoy every second of it.
His two oldest daughters were making a horrible mess of their clothes chasing the oversized gold fish but he didn't
care he was going to just enjoy every moment of the day, he wouldn't get upset about anything today.
Just then a pair of arms from a little two year old girl wrapped around his neck and a tiny body pressed up against his
back, startling him for a second. "Hey Daddy!!" came the voice from behind him.
Soun smiled and pulled Akane around so that she was sitting in his lap. "What have we got here?" He asked happily, a
stupid smile plastered across his face. He was ecstatic this past year. Akane had warmed up to him exponentially and
was starting to show him much more affection. She was still a genius for her age and spent a lot of her time by herself
drawing, but she also made time for him now other than martial arts lessons and he had never been happier.
"Look what I drew!" She said holding out a piece of paper.
Soun took the piece of paper and looked at it intently, still amazed with his daughters level of artistic ability. "Wow!"
he said looking over the scenery. "What's this?" He asked
Akane smiled. "It's called Jusenkyo. I saw it in a book. I want to go there some day, it's a martial arts training ground
too." She said happily.
Soun looked at the picture now with wide eyes and his hand shook. "J...Jusenkyo?" He asked.
Akane nodded even though he wasn't looking. Soun began to remember back to what his good old friend Genma had
said in one of his post cards. The man had looked up all the training areas in Japan and China and had decided to visit
every one of them to make his son the greatest martial artist that ever lived. He had included a list of the training
grounds that he planned on going to with Ranma in the letters and post cards that he had sent him. Jusenkyo was their
last stop and it was supposed to be the post perilous training grounds in the entire world.
Only the greatest martial artists could go there.
Akane smiled as if she knew what the man was thinking. "I want to be the greatest martial artist that ever lived."
Akane stated matter of factly. "I'm willing to do anything to achieve this status." She said.
Soun smiled and a tear of joy came to his eye as his youngest daughter said this. "Akane you've made your father so
proud." He said taking her into a fatherly hug. "We've got a lot of work to do though." Soun said.
Akane smiled. Everything was actually turning out okay even though she was trapped in the body of Akane Tendo.
She just couldn't wait until she turned six then she could go to school and meet new people. Then she could start the
ultimate scheme. If she was going to live a full happy life in this life she was going to have take some drastic steps.
This was only the beginning.
*****************
Three years later. Akane stood in the dojo in a fighting stance her father was standing beside her in the exact same
stance. They started to do a kata, fighting in visible opponents and trying to perfect their skill. They flowed in and out
of each attack and stance, starting and stopping everything at the exact same time. They moved through the kata
flawlessly, they were absolutely perfect in their technique. Once they finished Soun amiled and they bowed to each
other. "Go take a bath now Akane." He said.
Akane smiled and nodded. "Thank you for the lesson daddy." She said before running away to go soak in the tub. She
passed Kimiko as she was crossing the lawn between the dojo and the house.
Kimiko walked into the dojo and kissed Soun on the lips. "She's certainly developing very well isn't she?" She asked.
Soun nodded. "Yes. She's very dedicated to the art."
The martial artist's wife rolled her eyes. "That's an understatement if I've ever heard one. She's five years old, and
has learned at least seven martial art forms."
"You're proud of her?" Soun asked.
Kimiko nodded. "Yes. She'll most certainly become the best one day, I am afraid that once she hits puberty she'll use
her abilities to hurt people or bully. She's learning too fast."
Soun waved the idea off. "She's very mature and very honorable. I know my little girl would never do that."
"She spends too much time fighting with you." Kimiko said. "She doesn't have any friends and I'm afraid that she
may never get any."
"Is that what this is about?"
Kimiko just sighed. "She spends seven hours straight learning from you every morning, no exception. How could I
not worry? She plays those awfully violent video games and watches shows that a girl her age shouldn't be watching.
She's surrounded by violence."
Soun smiled and wrapped his arms around his wife. "You heard what the doctors and the psychologists said. She has
the mentality of a eighteen year old and the intelligence of someone around the age of twenty five." Soun said,
rocking side to side with his wife in his arms. "We don't have to worry about her."
Kimiko sighed and caressed Soun's cheek with her hand. "You know, all the time you spend with Akane has really
been giving you a good workout." She said smiling suggestively. "And a lot of publicity for the dojo."
Soun smiled realizing what his wife was suggesting. "Akane's always in her room, working on her art or in the dojo
working on her fighting." He said.
Kimiko turned around and smiled mischievously. "Nabiki and Kasumi are off at school right now." She said.
"Akane's in the bathroom."
"She always takes a very long time."
"My class isn't for hours."
Soun and Kimiko kissed passionately and then made sure all the doors to the dojo were shut and locked. The throes
of passion that escaped the dojo were completely unheard of from everyone else.
*****************
The next day. Akane frowned as she awoke the next morning. She slowly rolled out of bed and yawned. She felt like
crap. She walked towards the bathroom to take her shower. She always took one in the morning. It was one of the
habits that she had retained from her past life as Josh VanHalteren. It was routine.
Akane groaned as she held her stomach and closed the door to the bathroom. She took off her clothes and threw
them into the hamper. She then walked into the bathing area after flipping the sign to occupied side and sat down on
the stool. She then looked down and her eyes widened.
Akane's scream awakened the entire house.
*****************
Akane frowned as she sat in the waiting room of the doctor's office. "This sucks." She mumbled.
Her mother was sitting beside her and was holding her hand trying to make her feel better. "Don't worry honey." She
said. "It'll all be okay. It's perfectly normal." She said. It was virtually the same thing that she had been hearing since
yesterday when it happened.
When the doctor came out Akane smiled slightly as she recognized the eleven year old boy standing next to the man.
It was Ono Tofu, the man who would one day take over the clinic and be the family's doctor. She could easily relate
to the boy, he was only ten years away from being a full fledged doctor. He was basically a genius child as well. He
looked virtually the same as he did in the anime, he had soft features, long hair in a ponytail, and glasses. The only
difference was that he was about ten or eleven years younger.
His father who was the doctor was very different in appearance. He was fairly short, bald, and kind of chubby, you
wouldn't really be able to tell that they were related just by looking at them. Akane figured that Tofu just took after
his mother.
The two Tofu's walked towards the mother and daughter and led them into the older man's office. Akane and her
mother sat down across the desk from the doctor and the doctor put his hands in the menacing teepee position. "I
have to say Mrs. Tendo this has me baffled."
"Is there something wrong with Akane?" She asked fearing the worst.
"No." The doctor stated simply.
"Well what is it?" Kimiko asked a little less worried.
The doctor sighed. "Your daughter is having her first period that's all." ?The doctor waited for a reply but there was
none. He continued. "It's strange. No giurl in recorded history has ever had their perior when they were five years
old. It shouldn't be possible."
"How will this effect my little girl?" Mrs. Tendo asked.
The doctor shrugged and leaned back in his chair. "Not very much, she'll get cramps and become cranky once a
month, she'll develop into a woman faster than any other girls her age and will become sexually active very soon."
Kimiko frowned. Akane looked up at the doctor. "Excuse me doctor?" She asked.
The doctor put on a friendly face and chuckled at the little girl sitting with her mother."Yes Akane what can I do for
you? Want a lolipop?" He asked.
Akane shook her head. "No thanks. I think I might know why I'm developing this early though.."
The doctor chuckled. "Oh so you think you've got the answer do you little one?" He asked as though he were talking
to a cute little puppy.
Akane nodded. "First of all stop patronizing me." She said. The doctor lost all his playful features and became
serious. Akane continued. "I have the body of a five year old girl, but I have a mentality of a twenty year old. I think
that it may have to do with my overdeveloped mind. There's all this chemical crap going on in there that it makes
sense that it would make some physical changes to my body."
The doctor nodded. "Ah yes. It all makes sense to me now. I was trying to remember earlier where I had heard the
name Tendo, I'd forgotten that you're the one's with the genius baby."
"Hey!" Akane said angrily. "I'm right here you know."
The doctor smiled and stood up. Akane and Kimiko followed and the doctor led them to the door. "Well Akane
seems to be dealing with her quick development just fine. It's completely natural and there should be no worries as to
whether or not she'll turn out okay. Just take her home and deal with it.
Kimiko smiled and bowed to the doctor. "Thank you for your time Dr. Tofu." Tofu bowed back and the pair left the
clinic.
***************
Later on at the Tendo home. Akane frowned as she sat in the bathroom by herself wearing a pair of overalls and a
black shirt underneath. She sighed as she pulled out a tampon from a box sitting beside the stool.
She frowned and nearly gagged. "This is disgusting."
***************
Two weeks later. Akane smiled as she opened her eyes. It was early in the morning, normally she slept in but today
she was too excited to do so. Her mother had promised her that she could go buy some cd's. She had gotten a cd
player last year for her birthday but her parents bought a cd that a five year old would like. She had a 20 year
mentality so she never used it, Nabiki was the only one who listened to it, Kasumi was always playing with her own
friends.
Akane threw the sheets off her bed and ran towards the bathroom to get cleaned up as quick as possible. She hadn't
been able to listen to good music for a long time, she was determined to find some.
Akane threw open the door and then recoiled slightly as she realized that it was already occupied. She was about to
apologize and turn around but then she realized that it was Kimiko violently throwing up into the toilet. "What's the
matter Mom?" She asked as she walked up to the older woman. Kimiko stopped barfing, wiped her mouth, and
looked up at her youngest daughter.
"Akane? What are you doing up so early?" She said, not letting go of the toilet base just in case she had to throw up
again.
"We're supposed to get my cds today. You promised to get me some real music."
Kimiko sighed. "I'm sorry honey, but you'll have to wait until I'm feeling better."
Akane frowned. "You promised Mom. I'm holding you to that."
Kimiko turned to the toilet as though she were going to yak again, but she suppressed it and turned back to Akane.
"Akane go ask your father. He can take you."
Akane smiled. "That's better." Akane was about to turn away but then turned back to Kimiko inquisitively. "Mom?
Why are you getting morning sick?" She asked suddenly getting a sickening suspicion.
Kimiko smiled and waved it off nervously. "Oh it's nothing sweety. Just a little bug."
Akane frowned as she kneeled down beside her mother. "Don't lie to me mother. Remember I have the mentality of a
twenty year old male. I'm not as naive and manipulative as my sisters. I know that something is wrong, a little 'bug'
as you call it wouldn't be making you get up every morning for the last three days just so you could throw up. I want
the absolute truth." Akane's gaze penetrated through Kimiko's barrier and her resolve folded.
"I'm pregnant." She said. "I'm going to have another baby."
Akane went white. Her eyes were bugged out and she was standing still in absolute shock. She had thought that the
sickness was the starting of the Cancer that was the cause of her death in the anime. She had not excepted it to be
pregnancy. "N...No way." Akane said, standing up slowly. "That's not possible."
Kimiko took Akane into her arms and began stroking her fingers through her hair. "What's wrong Akane?" She said
worried. "I thought you'd love the fact that you're going to get another brother or sister."
"There isn't supposed to be another." She said cryptically. Akane took a few deep breaths and calmed herself down.
She looked up at her mother and smiled. "This could be a good thing." Akane said. She then relieved herself from her
mother's embrace and took off.
Kimiko began vomiting again.
****************
Akane frowned. *Damn it!* She thought as she walked towards the phone in the hall. *I hate continuity errors!* She
picked up a phone and phoned the hospital. A receptionist picked up the phone and Akane began to speak. "Yes,
hello? My mother says that she's pregnant, I'd like to schedule an appointment for her to make sure that that's what
it is. Yes, Kimiko Tendo... yes I'm the genius kid... okay, three hours from now? That'd be great. The sooner the
better. Okay... thank you bye."
Akane hung up the phone and then went to tell her mom about the appointment.

Later that day at the hospital. Kimiko looked confused as she sat in the chair in one of the many rooms in the Nerima
general hospital. "Akane this wasn't really necessary. I'm just pregnant, it's nothing serious."
Akane smiled and took hold of her mother's hand. "You can't ever be too careful Mom. Your health is important, if
you ever died of cancer or something Kasumi, Nabiki, and Dad would be devastated and they'd all break down."
Kimiko giggled lightly. "Akane I don't have Cancer and I'm not going to die."
Just then the doctor came in. "Mrs. Tendo we have some bad news related to your results." The doctor said.
Kimiko looked confused. "What is it?" She asked.
"Let me assure you that at this point in time your ailment is curable. You're lucky that you came to us when you did."
The doctor said as he also sat down across from her and Akane.
"What's wrong?" Kimiko asked. "Does this mean that I'm not pregnant?" She said.
The doctor chuckled. "Oh you're very much pregnant. I was talking about your cancer."
Kimiko fainted and fell off the chair. Akane looked down at her mom and then up at the doctor. "She took that pretty
well." She noted. The doctor nodded. "Can I have a sucker?" Akane asked.
*****************
one year later. Akane frowned as she stepped out of the Tendo household. Her mother was standing right behind her
holding her new baby brother in her arms. Kasumi and Nabiki ran past them and down the street eager to go to school
to see their friends. Akane was reluctant and looked back to her mother with pleading eyes. "Mom. Why do I have to
go to preschool? I have the mind of a twenty one year old this is insulting my intelligence."
Kimiko smiled. "Akane you have to spend time with children your own age. The teachers said that if you move too
fast educationally then they'll give you more advanced work. You'll be moving at a pace that you can follow."
Akane smiled. "Well that's good at least. Did Dad mention anything to you about training trips lately?" Akane asked
with hope in her voice.
Kimiko frowned. "Your father wants to take you around Japan and China like his idiot friend to make you the
greatest martial artist in the world. I'm not going to allow it. I need him here to help me care for your siblings."
Akane frowned. "Mom I really need to go on this training trip. If I don't then my future is going to be really rough. If
Dad takes me then we'll probably write you every week and come home to visit every two months for a week. Dads
got more sense than his friend. I wouldn't let him slip up."
Kimiko sighed and sat down so that she could look levelly with her daughter. "Akane I'm worried about your
academics. I want you to go to school. You could really go far academically with your higher intelligence."
Akane stopped and looked at the ground sadly. "What if I enrolled in whatever school's nearby during the trip? I
could take temporary classes at schools nearby the training grounds."
Kimiko frowned. "It could be dangerous."
"Mom! I've mastered 9 styles of martial arts including weapons mastery! I can take care of myself." Akane replied.
Kimiko sighed. "If... it's what you want Akane... then I suppose it's okay."
Akane smiled gleefully, jumped forward and kissed her mother. "Thanks Mom." She said as she stepped back. "I
really needed to hear some good news." Kimiko smiled and waved as Akane walked towards the kindergarten school
that was just down the street.
Akane walked with a new bounce in her step. *When Ranma comes to the Dojo eventually I'll be a better martial
artist then he'll ever be! And I'll never stop learning.* Akane took out a little direction map that her mother had
drawn her before she left the house and studied carefully to find her way to school. She found it easier and took a few
back alleys to get there quicker.
When she got there she looked up at the Kindergarten. She looked at the sign above it with a stupefied expression.
The sign read: "Fluffely-kun's Kinder-ma-garten" in big bright pink letters against a purple background. It also had
lots of purple triangles flecked on the horrid pink letters in various sizes. Akane's eyes twitched as she tried to discern
what kind of simple minded fool would come up with such a name. "God!" She said as she walked towards the small
building, "This is like something out of Winnie the Pooh or something." Akane stopped just outside the doors and
then took one last glance at the sign which had a picture of a super deformed person with bright, happy, shiny anime
eyes after the words. She then shivered and entered. "That's disgusting."
"HIIII LITTLE GIRL!!"
"AAAH!!!!!" Akane screamed as she was surprised by the sudden and loud greeting. She felt slightly ashamed for
getting startled due to the fact that she's a martial artist. Akane slowed down her breathing and looked at the figure
who had jumped out at her. "Who the HELL ARE YOU!?!?" Akane demanded.
The man who had greeted her so suddenly was Mr. Fluffely-kun. It stated this on a big name tag. The man had overly
happy eyes, long purple hair, and seemed to be wobbling as though he were on heavy drugs. He was wearing leather
pant's which were skin tight, a fur coat, and a feathery pink wrap around his neck. To say the least he scared the crap
out of Akane. "Why I'm Mr. Fluffely-kun!" He said in a voice that was WAY too similar to Barney the big purple
dinosaur. "What's your name little girl?!" He asked as he chuckled like Goofy and threatened to fall over in his drug
like state. "Hwhat's your name?"
Akane glared at him. "Stay the hell away from me." She then walked around the man to go find some normal people
withing the day care centre. Akane looked back at where she met Mr. Fluffely-kun and shivered. *What a loser.* She
thought. She then looked confused as she kept walking. "Hey where'd the freak go?" she wondered. She then walked
into a leg and looked up, it was Fluffely. "AAAAAAHHH!!!"
The crazy drug man picked Akane up before she could protest. "Don't use naughty language little girl. Your Momma
will have to give you a spanking when you go home."
Akane struggled and started to squirm and struggle. "AAAAH!! DAMN IT YOU PSYCHO SON OF A BITCH I'M
GOING HOME RIGHT NOW!!!!" Akane then thrust her little fist forward and jabbed the man in the neck. He
dropped her in his pain and Akane made a break for the door. Akane managed to open it but a recovered Mr. Flufely-kun closed it and grabbed her.
"Where are you going little girl?" He asked, still on drugs.
Akane just screamed. "NO NO!!! NOT IN THERE!! I'D RATHER DIE AGAIN THAN GO BACK IN THERE!!!!"
**************
Later on, back at the Tendo dojo Kimiko was humming as she peeled potatoes, onions and other vegetables and put
them into the dish that she was making. Just then she heard the front door open and closed and somebody walk into
the house. She looked up from the counter and set the knife she was using down. She started to walk towards the
front door as she wiped her hands on her apron. "Akane!" She called. "Is that you?"!
Five year old Akane walked into the living room that connects to the kitchen with a angry expression upon her face.
He clothes were tattered and ripped up and she had cuts, scrapes, and dirt all over herself. "I'm never going back
there again!" She said darkly before stalking to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Kimiko stood there following Akane with her eyes with a shocked expression. "Akane!" She said, finally coming out
of her surprise at seeing her youngest daughter so disheveled and beaten up. "What happened to you!?" She asked
with worry as she bent down and grabbed her in a protective embrace.
Akane didn't struggle she just sat there in her mother's lap with an annoyed expression. "Ah it's nothing that can't be
easily fixed." She stated.
"Was it a bully?" Kimiko asked worriedly.
Akane looked at the older woman as though she were an idiot. "What!? I'm a martial artist for crying out loud! I can
take care of anybody looking for a fight at any age." Akane paused and got a distant look in her eyes. "No. No it was
much worse than that. I don't think it was even human."
"Who was it?" Kimiko asked.
Akane got a look of utter hatred in her eyes and a battle aura flared around her. "The kindergarten teacher!" She
growled.
Akane's mother blink blinked. "Huh?" She thought intelligently. "I always thought that Mr. Fluffely-kun seemed great
with children. Why would he hurt you?" She wondered.
Akane chuckled. "Oh mother. You are so naive." Kimiko frowned at this statement but Akane seemed to be ignoring
it. "Mr. Fluff-stuff is good with 'normal' children." She said making a quotation mark sign with her hands. "On the
other hand, he's an absolute monster with children with the mentalities of TWENTY YEAR OLDS!!!"
Kimiko put a finger to her bottom lip and looked up slightly. "Oh yeah. I keep forgetting about that." She said
dumbly.
Akane groaned and walked away. "Anyway, as far as I'm concerned I'm not going to school until high school. That
way I could be with some slightly normal people. I'm going on a training trip with Dad."
Kimiko sighed. "Fine."
*****************
One year later......
Akane stood at the front gates of the Tendo home with her father Soun, who was carrying a rather hefty traveling
bag. Akane was also carrying a full sized traveling bag with her which looked ridiculous because of her size.
Kimiko, Nabiki, Kasumi, and their little brother Tetsuo were all standing at the front of the house seeing them off.
Kasumi had a slightly downtrodden expression, Nabiki was smiling and Kimiko was crying.
Akane went and hugged each one of them separately and said her goodbyes. Kimiko bent down and gave her a little
kiss on the cheek. "I'm going to miss you sweety." She said while wiping her tears on her sleeve. "It's just that you're
going for such a long time."
Akane smiled and wiped a tear from her mother's eye. "Don't worry Mom. I'll be back every month to visit and I'll
write you every day. It's only ten years. You've still got Nabiki, Kasumi, and Tetsuo."
Kimiko sighed. "It's just not the same without the whole family."
Akane sighed as well. "It'll be fine! With me writing every day it'll be like I've never left." Kimiko nodded and stood
back up. She then walked over to Soun, hugged him, and gave him a great big goodbye kiss. Akane smiled. "Ooh.
Passionate."
Kimiko blushed at her daughter's remark and stepped back. "You two have fun, and be careful, and eat well...and
brush your teeth.......AND write back....and..."
"MOM!!"
"Eh?"
"We'll be fine." Akane said. "You don't have to worry so much. We're not going to go and get cursed by a witch or
anything." Akane smiled to herself on the inside at the unintended reference to curses. *Heh. At least not by a witch.*
The Tendo family exchanged their last goodbyes and Soun and Akane left.

author's notes: {Well that's the first chapter of Heavenly Intervention. This is an idea that I've had for quite a while but just haven't gotten to writing it down. Akane is the LAST person from Ranma that I'd want to be stuck as. I was being nasty to myself but I'm relatively sure that I'd be able to adapt to my new body, even if it is an infant. I'd definitely learn martial arts. I'm a martial arts FREAK in real life. The only thing that's stopping me from taking lessons is my art, my job, my friends, and my school. I also have a band and it'd be hard balance them all.
Self Insertion is my silly self insert that I do with Evan. This one will be funny at points but it will be much more serious at parts. The worst part about it is being a girl... that would kind of suck when you've got the mind of a twenty year old male and your female body is only at the age of six. Seriously though I hate Akane. She is such a bitch. If I was Ranma I wouldn't put up with the crap she dishes out. Would you? I didn't think so. I also like pie. Word UP! Yeah, out of line there.
I'll do stuff on this later... I'll work on other stuff now suckas.
