An eighteen year old Ranma yawned loudly as he slowly lifted his head from his pillow after someone shook him awake and then quickly dropped back into his pillow. A ten year old girl that had ponytails on either side of her head kept vigorously shaking her brother to get him out of bed. Chiyo's cheeks puffed up cutely as she tried to wake her sleeping brother only to fail at her endeavor.

"Ranma, wake up!" Chiyo began to pull the blanket off her currently snoring sibling. As the blanket started to slide off, Ranma pulled it back up, this also brought up Chiyo on the bed as well.

"Waaauuugh!" Chiyo felt her feet leave the ground and got pulled up to the bed. Chiyo stood back up on the bed and glared daggers at her sleeping brother who was mumbling in his sleep. She then picked up a pillow and hit him on the head several times before Ranma's hand came up and knocked the pillow out of her hands. He then curled under his blanket once again snoring.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!" Chiyo was jumping up and down on the bed hoping to get Ranma to come out of hiding under his blanket. Noticing her lack of success, Chiyo bow her head in shame and then breathed out a mushroom puff. Then quickly looked back up as she realized something important. Quickly she moved to an area so she could speak to her older brother easily.

"Ranma?"

"Mmmfff?" was his only response.

"Time for breakfast!" Ranma's response was rather instantaneous.

"WHERE!" Ranma quickly sat up wide awake and looking around for the said source of nourishment.

"Aaaa!" Startled by Ranma's quick reaction to the mention of food, she stumbled toward the edge of the bed with her arms flailing as she started to loose her balance.

THUD!

Ranma blinked as he looked over the edge of his bed to see Chiyo lying on the ground with her eyes swirling.

"Chiyo-chan?"

Thus began the everyday life of the Mihama family.

After the morning mishap, both siblings went to the bathroom and seem to emulate each other's movements. From brushing their teeth, washing their faces, to drying themselves with their respective towels. Both their movements were the same even when they were flossing, each piece of floss going through same area and rinse the toothpaste out of their mouths then spiting into the sink at the same time. Each of their movements was in synchronized to each other even when they went into the kitchen to make breakfast. However, when Chiyo was reaching for her pink gi, Ranma stopped her by hold on to her shoulder.

"Sorry Sis, but my new job starts today" Ranma gave her an apologetic look. "We'll train when we get back home"

"It's okay Ranma" Chiyo smiled brilliantly. Ranma smiled back, in so many ways, Chiyo seem to remind of Kasumi.

"Anyway I gotta go" Ranma picked up his bag and gave his sister a quick hug. "I'll see you later Chiyo-chan. Make new friends at your new school!"

"Bye-bye! Good luck!" Chiyo waved goodbye to Ranma as he began to leave the house. "Oh by the way Ranma"

"Yeah?"

"I will catch up to your sooner or later Ranma!" Chiyo looked determined as she pointed at Ranma. Ever since the day Chiyo found out that she was a prodigy she quickly announced that she would out do Ranma in academics and sports.

Ranma grinned at his little sister.

"Then study hard to graduate early then Sis"

"I will!" Ranma smiled and shut the door behind him.

"Later Tadakichi!" Ranma patted the dog's head before leaving the gates.

Normally Ranma would have been leaping across roofs as soon as he left the residents, but he didn't want to catch attention to himself. He knew the Wrecking Crew would try to find him. They would expect to find a child that had abnormal strength and not brilliant child because he knew that most of the Nerimians thought of him as a jock. So he walked, Ranma knew this area very well and he often went through that part of the neighborhood while giving Tadakichi a walk. During his walk, he noticed a familiar black cat which was basking in the morning sun.

"Hey Kamineko" Ranma reached over and petted the cat on the head, Kamineko grudgingly submitted to Ranma's touch. Out of all humans that tried to pet him, Ranma succeeded without being bitten, but there was something about Ranma that seemed unnatural. Kamineko learned never mess with Ranma after biting biting him for a second time. It was bad enough to be hung upside down by the tail which caused it pain throughout his rear. But to be held up by the tail that had been frozen by a patch of ice on the tree branch was horrible. Kamineko shuttered as he remembered that moment when he was a kitten and the memory of the frostbite at the tip of his tail after that. Oh the humiliation, oh the indignity, oh the… hey! He got some dried squid! The cat happily took the dried squid from Ranma's hand and munched on the tasty morsel.

Ranma reached his destination early in order to attend a meeting with his new boss and coworkers.

"Ah, here he is" A man stood in front of a rectangular table with others sitting down. "This is Ranma; he just graduated college last year and will be joining us from now on"

The other simply stared muttered on how young he was while others smile kindly to the young man.

"I'm glad that you accepted me" Ranma bowed formally to his new employer. "I hope I'm not too late"

"Of course not!" His boss said and then glared at an empty seat in the meeting room. "Unlike other people!"

Ranma's new coworkers bigsweated seeing the man's upset look except for two. One was a man with a creepy face that seemed to have his mouth constantly open. While an athletic woman with short hair just let herself breathe out a mushroom puff.

Meanwhile just down the street…

A woman was screaming at her bike because its chain came off and she began kicking it repeatly, however, a teenager was trying to hold her back. The teenager began to help fix the bike, but the woman stole his bike causing the young man to yell for her to stop and give it back.

A While later…

The woman later walked into the class room muttering angrily about bike chains and wrong classes.

"Okay, starting today, I'm the homeroom teacher for Class three" She said. "My name's Tanizaki. Nice to meet you."

It was then she noticed movement in the corner of her eye and reached out to pull it.

"Ow, that hurts!" Yukari Tanizaki quickly let go of Chiyo's ponytail.

"Oh yeah" Yukari realized. "This is Chiyo Mihama, a new transfer student"

"I'm Chiyo Mihama" Chiyo bowed politely "Nice to meet you"

"Chiyo-chan is only ten years old, she had just been admitted to high school because she is very gifted" Yukari explained

"Whooooa!" The class began to be impressed at the small child.

"Please don't pick on her, just because she's smart for a little brat"

The class bigsweated.

Brat? One classmate thought.

I'm more worried that Miss Yukari is most likely to pick on her. Another thought.

Many students of the class began to cheer her on and caused Chiyo to blush at the attention.

"Thank you!"

"Anyway" Yukari turned to the class after Chiyo was seated. "We have a pop quiz today!"

The entire class groaned in torment while Chiyo blinked.

"Good luck, Everybody! I'll be taking this quiz with you." Yukari smiled while holding up her own quiz.

"This quiz seems harder than Yukari's." One student whispered to his neighbor and his neighbor nodded in agreement.

As the test began, several of the students noticed Yukari didn't even move her pencil and wondered what was going on. Yukari suddenly dropped her head lower and growled in frustration causing the entire class to bigsweat.

"She can't even do it!" The student whispered to his neighbor again who nodded in response.

A little later, Yukari suddenly stood up and began walking through the rows of desks. She began to look down at the quizzes as she passed each desk which caused several students to bigsweated yet again.

"She's not checking on us… she's cheating!" A student who was sitting in front of Ohyama said to his neighbor after Yukari began to look over Ohyama's shoulder.

After the pop quizzes were collect…

"I'm done grading your quizzes!" Yukari held up the said papers. "Here you go, Ohyama. A perfect score"

"Wow" Many of his fellow classmates muttered then noticed Yukari glaring at Ohyama.

"I Hate You! You got a better grade than me!" Yukari growled before switching back to her cheerful look which caused the entire class to bigsweat for the third time.

"Next Chiyo-chan" Yukari handed her quiz to her then growled. "Also a perfect score"

Chiyo stood there trembling with tears forming on the corners of her eyes which caused Yukari to stare at the site for a couple seconds.

"Congratulations, Chiyo-chan!" Yukari said false cheer.

A while later…

Yukari smiled as her new student was talking to her classmate and working together as she walked over.

"Very good Chiyo-chan, it's good to get help from your classmates" Yukari said. "Don't hesitate to ask your fellow classmates if you run into any trouble.

"I will!" Chiyo nodded her head.

"The truth is…" Chihiro softly said looking down. "The truth is…"

"The truth is…" She began to look depressed. "The truth is…"

"The truth is, I was the one getting help!" Chihiro cried as she threw herself and began sobbing. "Am I just stupid?"

"But, we are classmates so…" Chiyo desperately tried to calm Chihiro down.

"Don't cry, don't cry" Another girl that had two pigtails came to comfort Chihiro.

"Chiyo-chan, lets have lunch together!" Another girl with short hair, Kaorin, called out while sitting with a friend.

"Oh, okay" Chiyo smiled cheerfully. "Back at elementary school, we never got to bring our own lunch."

"So its fun to bringing it to school" Chiyo sat down.

"Really?" Kaorin asked,.

"Yeah, but it hard to get up early in the morning to make it"

She… she makes her own lunch! They older girl thought in shock. Chiyo opened her bento which caused the two girls to look even more shocked. And it looks so good too!

"Who is she? Miss Perfect Superwoman?" Kaorin whispered to her friend and then blinked when she noticed something. "Chiyo-chan, why do you have two bentos?"

Chiyo blinked before her eyes widened in realization.

"Oh no! I forgot to bring Big Brother his lunch!" Quickly she grabbed the extra bento and dashed out of the classroom.

"Wow! She's fast!" Yomi, a girl with long brown hair and wearing glasses commented.

The entire class looked at each other before concluding that her brother was a student at the very same school as they were. They all got up and followed their classmate that was franticly running down the halls. However, they thought the same thing when Chiyo was knocking on one of the doors. Is her brother sick? Is that why he is in the nurse's office? They looked each other before opening the door.

"Young man! Why aren't you wearing your uniform?" Yukari yelled pointing at Ranma. "And why are you a doctors coat!"

Ranma was so surprised at the sudden outburst he almost lost his grip on his lunch bento.

"Yukari, stop shouting" A woman's voice came beside her.

"Nyamo! What are you doing here?"

"One of my students twisted her ankle during P.E." Minamo Kurosawa said in a serious tone. "And don't call me that at school."

"Never mind Nyamo, he's out of uniform!"

"Of course he is" Nyamo deadpanned. "He isn't a student here"

"He isn't?" Yukari turned to her.

"Nope" Nyamo shook her head. "He's the new school doctor"

"What!" Everyone shouted.

"How come I didn't know about this!" Yukari shouted.

"Because you were late for this morning meeting!" Nyamo shouted back. "I swear, you are the most irresponsible person I know!"

"What would you know you P.E. teacher!" Yukari retorted. "You're always too serious Nyamo, that's why you can never get a steady boyfriend"

"That has nothing to do with this!"

"That's probably why you're here isn't it? Yukari teased and pointed at Ranma. "I didn't think you would be into younger guys, Nyamo, even I have to admit he's cute, but man, you're desperate!"

"What? That's it!" Angrily Nyamo tackled Yukari to the floor where a dust cloud formed around them as the two teachers battled it out. And I thought this would be a normal school too. Ranma thought and bigsweated as he watched the scene carry on in front of him. Ranma had then turned his attention to the members of Class three.

"Can I help you?" Ranma asked as he ignored the commotion behind him although one can see that his smile was seriously strained and his eye was twitching every time he heard a crash.

"Hi Ranma" the class president of Class three muttered.

"Hey Ohyama" Ranma greeted. "How are your classes coming along?"

"Look behind you and take a guess"

"Wait a minute! How can you be a doctor!" Tomo, a hyperactive girl with shoulder length hair shouted. "You're about our age!"

"Ranma is a prodigy like me. He had just graduated medical school last year" Chiyo happily explained. "He's just working here until he can get his own clinic"

"No way…" Kaorin muttered in disbelief.

"A family…" Tomo continued.

"Of…" Chihiro stared at him.

"Prodigies!" Yomi began to sweat.

Ranma sighed as he heard another crash and turned around. He watched the two women still causing a dust cloud and began walking to them.

"Um. Ladies?" Ranma had to speak a little loudly to get over the noise and insults.

"WHAT!" Both teachers glared up at him from the floor. Nervously Ranma pointed at the clock on the wall.

"It's almost time for classes to begin." The comment caused both teachers to look at the clock and grudgingly separated. Nyamo gave Yukari a final glare however she responded by giving Nyamo a raspberry. Nyamo stomped through the door and walked toward the gym.

"Come on class time to go back" Yukari skipped back toward the classroom.

"Bye Ranma, remember you have to make lunch tomorrow" Chiyo walked out the door.

"I will!" Ranma waved goodbye then dropped his head and sighed. "At least this is better than Nerima"

"Um. Excuse me?" Ranma turned to look at a blushing girl on the bed who is still wearing her gym clothes pointing at her foot. "My ankle?"

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Ranma quickly apologized and went back to work on her leg.

As the entire class walked back toward their respective homeroom, the girls of the class began to talk about the new teenage doctor.

"Wow, Chiyo brother is a pretty nice guy" Yomi said as they began to fill out their career sheets.

"And a looker to boot!" Tomo popped up.

"Yeah, he is handsome" Yomi had to agree before turning to Chiyo. "Is he single?"

"Yes" Chiyo nodded. "But he never spend anytime time looking for a girlfriend"

"I see" Yomi looked like she was deep in thought.

"I get it!" Tomo pointed Yomi accusingly. "You're hoping to get him to date you!"

"Yeah so?"

"You can't cause you're an idiot"

In a flash Yomi roughly pulled Tomo's cheeks.

"What are you doing?" Tomo managed to say.

"Don't you ever learn to shut up?" Yomi growled. "And you're the stupid one!"

"Chiyo-chan?" Chiyo looked up at Chihiro. "Don't you have Day Duty today?"

"Yes, but what about them?" Chiyo pointed at catfight behind her.

"Don't worry they do this all the time" Chihiro assured her which caused Chiyo to sweatdrop before getting out of her seat and collected Class three's career sheets.

"Excuse me?" Chiyo politely said to another girl. "I'm collecting the career sheets"

"Okay, could you hold on a minute?" The girl asked.

"Sure!" Chiyo nodded before turning to Ohyama

"Thank you Chiyo-chan" Ohyama said as he handed her his career sheet.

Chiyo quickly looked through each career sheet to make sure she had everyone and notice one career sheet with a rather tall girl with long hair, staring out of the window.

"Excuse me?" Chiyo politely asked. "I'm collecting everyone's career preference sheets"

She looks scary, but her aura is calm and gentle. Chiyo thought as she was handed the paper from Sakaki. She looked down and read the sheet. A vetanarian, a florist, and a stuffed animal boutique owner. Chiyo smiled happily. I was right! I can't wait until I tell Ranma I can read people's aura better now.

Later before PE, Girl locker room…

A couple of girls watched their idol, Sakaki, as she changed into her gym clothes commenting on how cool she was. Kaorin, who was a very big fan of Sakaki, managed to catch a glance at Sakaki's kitty underwear before a loud dull thud echoed inside the locker room. Everyone in the locker room turned their attention on Chiyo as she blushed in embarrassment when she picked up a small black vest.

"Hey Chiyo-chan what do you have there?" Tomo pointed at the small vest.

"It's just my training weights" Chiyo answered happily. "I wear it all day except for changing for P.E., going to bathe, or sleeping"

"No way! You wear weights?" Yomi asked.

"Yes! I've been wearing them my whole life!" Chiyo nodded.

"Let me see!" Tomo grabbed the vest, well, attempted to anyway. All she managed to accomplish was staining to hold herself upright because of the sheer weight that was dragging her down. "Aaaauuugggh! This is heavy!"

"Give me that" Yomi was the next to strain herself as she held on to the vest. "She's right, this is very heavy"

Chiyo took her vest back on and put her shirt over it and bent down and started to tie her shoes. Everyone bigsweated as they watched her skipped out of the door as if nothing was wrong.

The next morning…

Sakaki smiled as she passed by a cute looking puppy and enjoying the scenery as she walked to school. The sakura petals gently fell from their trees and blanketed the walkways like a beautiful pink carpet. She stopped, however, to see a young man petting a cat that was lazily sprawled out on top of a wall and was bathing in the morning sun.

"That was Chiyo-chan's brother" Sakaki said to herself before looking at the cat. The black cat laid there with its eyes closed as though it was sleeping. Sakaki slowly lifted her hand toward the cat before pulling her hand back slightly. She reached out again slowly and just as she was about to pet it. Kamineko's jaws opened widely and snapped shut on Sakaki's fingers.

A while later…

"What caused this again?" Ranma asked as he wrapped Sakaki's hand with a bandage.

"A cat"

"I thought so" Ranma sighed. "I'm guessing it was a black one wasn't it?"

Sakaki blushed in embarrassment as she looked down and nodded.

"Don't worry about it" Ranma shook his head. "That cat would always bite someone who would try to pet it"

"But you had no problems with it" Sakaki stated.

"I knew it ever since it was a kitten" Ranma unconsciously start to rub the area of his hand where he was bitten before. "Eventually I got to touch him without problems"

"How did you?"

Ranma bigsweated. How is he going to explain that he had to hang the cat by the tail on a tall tree?

"I do this" Ranma changed the subject. "I'll go with you; it shouldn't bite you with me around."

Sakaki smiled gently and nodded in thanks. As the two opened the door to the hall, Sakaki turned around and politely bowed.

"So I'll see you there after school?" Ranma asked.

"Yes" Sakaki smiled. "I'll meet you there"

Sakaki began walking to her class with a content smile. She was kind of cute in a serious way. Ranma thought as he closed the door to his office. Unnoticed by both, a certain hyperactive girl stood down the hall staring with her jaw wide open. Tomo stood there not believing it.

"I don't believe this!" She cried out as she ran through the hallways to her class.

"Sakaki!" Tomo shouted as she slammed the door open catching everyone's attention and pointed at Sakaki. "I heard it all!"

Sakaki blinked from looking out the window before turning to look at Tomo.

"What?" She said in a confused tone.

"You can't fool me!" Tomo's arm began to shake at Sakaki accusingly. "You asked Ranma out on a date didn't you?"

"Wait, that wasn't…" Sakaki barely managed.

"Aaarrruuggghh!" Kaorin froze solid. "M-m-miss Sakaki you couldn't have!"

"No way!" Yomi stared at Sakaki in disbelief.

"B-b-but that's not it" Sakaki waved her hands to try to calm them down.

"And what's with that hand?" Tomo turned her attention to the injured hand. "I bet you hurt yourself to get the chance! You sly fox!"

"T-that was…" However Sakaki was interrupted again.

"Wow! You're the first girl to ever to get Ranma to have a date" Chiyo looked up at Sakaki in wonder. "Don't worry I'll help you out with your date!"

"No way Chiyo-chan!" Tomo shouted. "What about me!"

"I'll support you too then!"

"But it isn't a date" Sakaki said but her words fell in deaf ears in the entire commotion.

Back at Ranma's office…

Ranma's eye twitched as he glared at the wall. What is going on over there! Why is it so loud to hear it through the wall? Ranma rubbed his forehead in frustration before going back to his paperwork. However, Ranma stopped as if he sensed something out of place or dangerous.

"Why do I have a cold chill running down my spine?" Ranma asked himself.

Author's notes

Here's chapter one of Child Prodigy. I haven't thought of any of the pairings yet but it would be interesting. This is the longest chapter I have ever made. While I read through several of my old fics I noticed they had chapters were too short and had many grammar errors. So expect better written chapters and longer chapters from now on. Anyway, the next chapter: Chapter 2 Misunderstandings, the Osakan, and the Tomo. (Side Note: Lord help us all!)
