Ranma ½ / Legend of Zelda crossover
God-born.
Interlude 1: The Tendos
~~~~~
Soun Tendo and Genma Saotome stood by Akane's hospital bed talking quietly as they watched over the unconscious girl. "What will we do Genma? Ranma has finally cracked and attacked his fiancé and now he's gone and run away. Should we chase him down?" Genma stared at the bed numbly. "No." he said finally, his tone weary. "When I went after him at the school he began to emit this great power, it scared me to think that the boy was ready to kill me if he wanted to, I saw the wildness in his eyes..." Genma shook his head slowly. "He enjoyed every minute that he was causing the chaos, just like when he fought Saffron."
Soun shuddered at the memory of the incident, he'd almost lost his little girl because of that fight. "So we will let him go and just forget about the engagement." Soun stated somberly. "I'm afraid so Soun old buddy. Ranma can no longer be controlled like he used to. We'll just have to make do with what we have." It was a rare moment when Genma acted wisely, like he was now. "Stupid whore...it's all her fault..." grumbling from the bed drew their attention to Akane. She was trying to sit up, all the while muttering curses toward the red haired girl that had stopped her from pounding Ranma that morning. "...sister my ass...she's just some stupid hussy..." Genma and Soun looked curious at one of her mumblings.
"Sister?" Genma questioned her urgently, "Who are you talking about?" Akane huffed as she finally got herself upright and glowered at the wall. "Ranma was hugging this red haired whelp this morning at school, and when I yelled at her to get away from him she threatened me with a sword and said that she was his brother. When I tried to speak again she attacked me and gave me the cut on my cheek." She pointed to the open wound on her face that had begun to bleed again the moment she'd awoken, around the same time that she'd begun to twist the story so that she seemed like the innocent bystander. Soun and Genma looked at each other with raised eyebrows. Akane saw the look, "Did you beat up Ranma for throwing me out the window? Are you going to go after him?" She asked, sounding a little to eager, not that the two men noticed.
"No Akane," Soun began, "We've decided to dissolve the engagement." He sounded only a little disappointed as he avoided looking at his youngest daughter. "What?" Akane's tone was deadly as she glared at her father, a battle aura forming "You let him go so he can go marry one of those other brats?" Soun quaked silently. "Akane, Ranma isn't even in Nerima anymore, Nabiki told him to leave and never come back and he did. He left with Serephina soon after." Akane turned her glare on Genma. "Serephina?" She inquired. Genma sighed, "A while ago my wife received a visitor. A teenage girl showed up on her doorstep looking for Ranma, claiming to be his sister. She even had the birthmark to prove that they where related..." Genma trailed off again looking very tense as he finally revealed his greatest secret. "Ranma isn't even our son."
His words took Soun and Akane by surprise. They stared at him numbly, not really sure what to think about the newest revelation of Ranma's past. Genma went on, "He appeared on our doorstep one morning and we kept him, he was a foundling and we where bound to bring him up, so Nadoka and I raised him to be the heir to the school and never told a soul, and until the girl, Serephina, decides to tell him, Ranma won't know either."

Nabiki Tendo moved away from the door of her sister's hospital room as Genma finished speaking and Akane began to curse. So Ranma wasn't even a real Saotome to begin with... that would explain why he acted so different to Genma. She crossed the hall to where her other sister sat, twisting her hand's worriedly in her lap. "She's awake." Nabiki said simply as she leaned against the wall beside her sister's chair. Kasumi relaxed a little, relived that the damage to her little sister might not be permanent after all. "Do you think she's alright?" Kasumi asked softly.
Nabiki smirked, "Yes, if her degrading use of the English and Japanese language is any indication, I would say that she is feeling better, if not sore."
"Oh..." Kasumi said simply. She was a little disappointed that Ranma had done something like this to a member of her family after all this time but something at the back of her mind was telling her that there was something more to the story than what had been claimed by her middle sister and father. Kasumi let her gaze wonder to a near-by window. Many a time she'd seen Akane beat upon Ranma and her concern had grown as Ranma had seemed to sink into a depression much like her own. Hidden by a mask and unnoticed by the rest of the world. She could see that it would be very likely that Ranma had just had enough of it all. She was happy for him, he'd found a way to escape her family when she had yet to get out on her own.
Her eye's flickered to Nabiki once more. She wore her stoic mercenary face as she leant against the wall deep in thought. Kasumi could almost see the gears going around in her head as she plotted a way to get back at Ranma, after all, blood was thicker than a fiancé's, Kasumi frowned. "Nabiki, please don't try to go after Ranma." Nabiki turned on her stunned. "Why Kasumi? After what he did to Akane he deserves anything he gets." Kasumi held back the urge to yell at her sister. "No Nabiki, he doesn't deserve to be tortured like he has been for the last three years." Nabiki raised an eyebrow. "Tortured?" she queried sarcastically.
Kasumi looked at her hands, folded tightly in her lap to stop them from bunching into fists. "Nobody cared to look beyond face deep did they?" She sighed heavily and got to her feet. "Ranma was a tortured soul Nabiki. With all the battles and constant annoyances he was being pushed to the edge. Didn't you, the ever observant Nabiki, see that her was depressed, but was hiding it for our sakes?" Kasumi bit off her words before they became a full-blown rant. She could feel the tears behind her eyes and turned away from her sister. She walked down the hall and soon, out of the hospital, ignoring the shouts of Nabiki the whole time.
~~~~~
Well that's the end of the interlude, I don' t think I'll be putting anything else on the Tendos' up for a while so don't be waiting on anything.
I'd also like to mention all those people who have reviewed to this story so far and I hope they'll continue to read.
