Ranma ½ / Legend of Zelda crossover

God-born.

-------------

Interlude 2 : Loss of the chaos factor.

Nerima ward of Tokyo hadn't exactly prospered since the disappearance of everyone's favorite martial artist. To any outsider the district looked like a ghost town, and with that opinion they'd be considered correct.

Many builders and carpenters lay out in the streets. All of them broke or unemployed because of the lack of property damage. The life had simply been sucked out of the town. At one house in particular though it was still very bad, in spite of the fact that everything had begun to settle down for good. The Tendo house hold was in complete ruins. With out her cash cow Nabiki had begun to run out of funds to pay the bills. Both Soun and Genma did nothing but eat, drink, cry and complain about how Ranma had spoiled the family honor. Without Kasumi though everyone had been subjected to Akane's toxic cooking. The government weapons testing agency had been around up to four times that week alone to pick up the new species of radioactive dinosaur she seemed to create every time she used the oven and the last time she'd made rice balls they'd needed to be put down, literally.

Fights where no longer a regular occurrence, the last had been over and done with before the rest of the wrecking crew had dispersed. The fiancé brigade had joined in their own free for all, Akane getting her ass handed to her in the most embarrassing manner possible without Ranma to fight for her. The incident had only served to make her even more angry, which had lead to Ryoga getting frustrated and leaving her. They'd dated for a few weeks after Ranma had vanished but without a rival to actually fight for Akane, the cursed boy had lost interest quickly and decided it hadn't been worth it and dumped her. Everyone left to see the incident agreed that she should have seen it coming. Ryoga hadn't been seen in a good few months now and no one actually cared he was gone.

The amazons had left after the fiancé brigades battle royal. Shampoo had used an unforgivable move in the fight that had caused Mouse to wake up to the reality that Shampoo didn't really love him. He'd run off only to appear again later in an American news program saying that he'd just been married to his assistant and he was now one of the most popular magicians in Las Vegas. He'd been about the only member of the wrecking crew that had managed to make a life that didn't revolve around Ranma.

Ukyo hadn't fared any better than the Tendo's. The lease on her shop had run out not long after Ranma left and she was put out on the streets with only the clothes she had on her back. She'd traveled around for a while hoping to find Ryoga and maybe get him to help her but he'd vanished. She'd returned to Neriema and went mad during her job search, breaking down right in the middle of the registry office. Akane still visited her occasionally in the asylum, at least, she did visit until she was made a permanent resident after the hentai horde had finally managed to get a hold of her. She'd broken down at last after she'd been forced to date every perverted male in the school. Kuno, surprisingly enough, hadn't been one of them. Like Mouse he'd woken up to reality and gotten counseling for Kodachi and himself. Working together they'd started a company in Tokyo with their fortune and separated themselves completely from their lives in Neriema. Their father was still unaccounted for though, last said to be sailing the family ship around the Bermuda triangle looking for a portal to another dimension.

He still hadn't found it.

------------------

So what do you think? I love being horrid to the rest of the Neriema wrecking crew. Mouse and Kuno are kind of cool when they wake up from their little dream worlds and I was thinking of putting a twist on Ryoga's curse… hmmm. Anyway, what do you think about a Link x Kasumi pairing? That's currently what it's being set up for, and Ranko is going to be appearing in the story soon… well… she's already appeared once or twice but should she become a permanent character as a pairing for Ranma or should I have Ryoga turn up and do something?

I look forward to feedback!

Don't forget to review!
