Return of the Wolf
Chapter One
I do not own Ranma 12 or any of it's characters they are the property of Rumiko Takahashi I'm just using them for a while (I will only put this disclaimer on this chapter). I will try to keep as close to the original story line as possible but the there will be some difference plus I'm reading the manga as I write this so don't expect me to update to often but I will write as fast as I can. Also if you haven't already done so please read "Enter the Wolf" it will explain a few things about my characters past. That said enjoy and don't be to hard on me this is only my second story.
"chinese"
It was a nice day in mainland China and a man could be seen walking and talking on a cell phone. He was average hight with short black hair and yellow eyes similar to those of a wolf, He was wearing blue jeans, a plain gray T-shirt, and brown wolverine work boots.
"I know you didn't want me to go but I promised him." he said "I know it was a different life but that doesn't change anything."
"Look you know better than anyone that when I make a promise I keep it. I'm almost there so I'll call you later bye." he said and hung up the phone
He walked a little farther and came across what he was looking for. It seemed to be a simple village but he knew better this was a village of warriors and he had to be careful. Today was the day of the village tournament and on the challenge log two figures could be seen. Two girls were facing off, a short red head and a taller lavender haired girl who was using two bonbories.
"Damn I'm late." said the man
The purple haired girl charged the red head who kicked straight up and knocked the purple haired girl off of the log. Without thinking the man blurred and caught the falling girl.
"Stupid male what do you think you are doing?" the girl asked angrily
"Saving you from a little bit of pain and trying to help." he answered
"I am Xian Pu the village champion I don't need the help of some stupid male." she declared before ordering "Put me down!"
The man just shrugged his shoulders and dropped the girl on her ass.
"Stupid male be careful and show respect for an amazon woman." yelled Xian Pu
"I show respect to those that show me the same." he declared
A woman from the crowd yelled "He's a strong male Xian Pu you should make him your husband"
"Sorry to disappoint but I'm taken" the man announced
By this time the red head had wandered over and was looking around in confusion.
The man whom had been arguing with Xian Pu stepped over to her and said "Hi I'm Ookami nice to meet you."
"Ranma Saotome." the girl replied
Ookami inwardly grinned and thought 'I know my friend and now it's time for me to help you again but you have a few tests to go through first'
After the introductions were made Xian Pu walked over and administered the kiss of death. As soon as she had pulled away the Jusenkyo guide grabbed Ranma by the hand and started running Ookami just shrugged his shoulders and ran after them.
Sometime later (Not sure how long it took Ranma and Genma to get to Japan) in Nerima. A man with long black hair and a mustache known as Soun Tendo was sitting at the table in his dinning room reading a post card which had the picture of a panda eating bamboo on the back. It said "Hi. Bringing Ranma from China. Saotome." Did I mention that it looked like a third grader wrote it? Anyway Soun read this badly written post card and started crying and said "R-Ranma? Coming here? Oh how I've w-w-waited for this day."and then yelled "Kasumi, Nabiki, Akane." And went running through the house to find his daughters and tell them the 'good news'.
First he went into the kitchen and found his oldest daughter "Kasumi!"
"Yes Daddy?" asked a girl in her late teens wearing a house dress and an apron with her brown hair in a pony tail tied up with a ribbon lying on her shoulder.
Next he went to find his middle daughter who was in her room reading a manga and eating a popsicle wearing her usual cut offs and a to tight tank top"Nabiki!"
The girl with her brown page boy style hair looked up and muttered around her popsicle.
And last but not least he went searching for his youngest daughter "Akane!" he couldn't find her because she as out on her morning jog but he didn't know that and asked himself aloud "Where is that girl?"
The girl in question who had long dark blue hair in a pony tail down the middle of her back had just returned from her morning jog donned her gi and went behind the dojo to break bricks.
Once she was done with her first set a voice behind her said "There you go again Akane. No wonder the boys all think you're so weird."
Akane looked over her shoulder at her sister and replied "So why should I care? Not everybody thinks the world revolves around boys Nabiki."
Nabiki walked away with her hands behind her head and said "Then I guess this wouldn't interest 'you'."
The scene shifts to the Tendo dining room where Souns is speaking to his daughters and it has just begun to rain.
"Fiancé?" asked the girls (Manga doesn't show who asked)
"Yes. The son of a very good friend of mine. The son's name is Ranma Saotome." answers Soun and continues "If one of you three girls were to marry him and carry on this training center then the Tendo family legacy would be secure."
"Wait a minute!" interrupted Akane "Don't 'we' have some say in who we marry?"
"Akane's right daddy. We've never even 'met' Ranma" added Kasumi
"That's easily fixed" said Soun
Nearby at the same time a red headed girl, a panda, and a man were walking in the rain talking.
"I ain't doin' it old man I ain't gettin engaged." said Ranma
The panda holds up a sign "You have to boy -flip- it's a matter of family honor."
Ookami shook his head and said "Like you would know anything about honor Genma."
"Yeah!" added Ranma
"Please just meet them -flip- we'll even get a meal I'll bet." signed panda Genma
"I already get my meals no thanks to you old man." said Ranma
"Why not check it out Ranma?" asked Ookami
"You're taking his side?" asked Ranma disbelievingly
"No what I'm saying is we can get dry and maybe you can meet some new friends." answered Ookami
"Friends?" asked Ranma hopefully
"Yeah friends, it is a dojo someone there has to practice the art." said Ookami
"Ok I'll go." said Ranma
"I knew you would see it my way boy." signed panda Genma
"I ain't seein anything your way pop I'm seein it Ookamis way." said Ranma as she body slammed the panda into the middle of the street.
Back to the Tendo Dojo
"Ranma and his father have been on a training journey. Recently it seems they crossed into China." said Soun
"Wow! China!" exclaimed Nabiki
"What's so great about walking to China?" muttered Akane (I quoted this and I had no idea you could walk from an island to the mainland.)
"Is he cute?" asked Nabiki
"How old is he?" asked Kasumi "Younger men bore me."
"What kind of guy is Ranma?" asked Kasumi and Nabiki together
"No idea." answered Soun
"No idea?" asked Nabiki flatly leaning forward to look her father straight in the eye.
"I've never met him." replied Soun
Before he could say anymore there was a knock at the door.
"We have visitors." said Kasumi as everyone went to the front door Nabiki and Soun in the lead
"Oooo! It must be Ranma." said Nabiki
"Saotome my old friend we've been waiting!" called Soun
Akane and Kasumi were following behind lost in there own thoughts.
Akane was thinking 'How depressing. Boys!'
Kasumi was thinking 'Oh, I hope he's older!'
As Soun and Nabiki made their way outside they were greeted by the sight of a man about six foot tall with black hair and yellow wolves eyes wearing blue jeans and a black T-shirt that said "I do sick twisted perverted things"(I actually own this shirt) along with brown work boots. A small red headed girl with her hair in a pigtail her eyes were a deep blue wearing a red Chinese style shirt and black tang pants and black slippers on her feet. And of course a panda.
Soun immediately looked at the only human looking male and said "Welcome son." and tried to hug him.
Ookami just rolled his eyes and dodged Soun causing him to land on his face in the walkway.
"He isn't to bad." said Nabiki circling Ookami eyeing him like a piece of meat "He'll do."
"I knew he would be a pervert look even his shirt says so." announced Akane
"At least he's older" said Kasumi
Ookami looked at the three girls like they were insane and asked "Who do you think I am?"
"You're Ranma of course." said Soun who had gotten back to his feet
"No." said Ookami simply
"No? What do you mean no?" asked Nabiki
"No I'm not Ranma I'm Ookami." Ookami answered
"Who is Ranma?" asked Kasumi
Ookami pointed to the redhead to his left and Soun dove straight at him (currently a her but they don't know that) and said "Ranma welcome son." ignoring the two obvious pieces of evidence that he was heading for a female and hugged the sometimes girl. Soun held the hug for a second realizing that there was something wrong he gave an experimental squeeze before pushing the redhead back to arms length and letting her go.
Nabiki walked up and leaned forward and took al close look at Ranmas chest before sticking out one finger and poking her in her right breast.
"Um...could you stop that?" asked Ranma
Ookami stood behind her and laughed thinking 'it's almost exactly like he described it'.
"'He' is a girl" said Nabiki dryly causing Soun to faint
A few minuets later Soun is on the floor in another room ... crying.
"Oh Poor daddy. He's so disappointed." said Kasumi
"He's disappointed some fiancé this is!" replied Nabiki
"Stop it you two! He ... She is our guest!" interrupted Akane
"This is all your fault daddy! You should have made sure!" yelled Nabiki
"Well, he said he had a son!" replied Soun
Nabiki responded by grabbing Ranmas breast and saying "Do you see a son here? Hmm? Do you?"
Ranma just said "I really wish you'd stop that."
Ookami laughed and said "I guess Nabiki wasn't so excited about getting a fiancé after all."
"What do you mean?" asked Akane
"Well the way she's grabbing Ranma you would think that she's a lesbian." replied Ookami causing Nabiki to snatch her hand away.
Akane chuckled and walked over to Ranma and asked "Hey, join me in the practice hall?" "I''m Akane want to be friends.?"
Ranma looked like the happiest person in the world and just nodded. As she walked out of the room Ookami just said "I told you that you would find a friend."
"You do Karate don't you?" asked Akane as they entered the dojo
"A little." answered Ranma
"Then lets have a little match, Ok?" asked Akane to witch Ranma just said "huh?"
"Just for fun. Don't worry. I won't hurt you." said Akane
"If you say so." replied Ranma
Akane attacked first with a left punch at Ranma which she just jumped over. Akane followed up with a left kick aimed at Ranmas head, Ranma jumped and did the splits. A few more punches and kicks later Akane started to get mad.
"What's wrong? Swing at me!" Akane shouted as she continued to try and hit Ranma.
'Why...why am I missing her?' thought Akane to herself 'Is she reading my moves?' 'Okay this time for real!'
Akane let lose a left jab with all of her strength behind it which Ranma jumped over and used the wall to flip over and land behind Akane where She lightly touched the back of her head with one finger.
Ookami started clapping and startled them before he said "Not bad but you both need a lot of improvement."
"Speak for yourself pervert." said Akane arrogantly
"You talk big little girl lets see if you can back it up." replied Ookami as he took a fighting stance (read "Enter the Wolf" for a description of the stance)
Akane charged Ookami like she had done with Ranma but Ookami reacted slightly differently. He moved to one side and hit Akane in the back causing her to lose her balance and fall on her face.
"You have plenty of power but you need to learn to use it effectively if you don't this will happen every time you face a decent opponent." said Ookami and offered her a hand up.
"I don't need your help." spat Akane as she slapped his hand away "You just want what all the other perverts want."
"If I wanted sex I could very easily take it but that's not who I am, I'm not a rapist." said Ookami calmly
"I guess you're right" said Akane cautiously
"I can teach you if you want me to. I know anything goes as well as many other styles." said Ookami
"I thought you were going to train me?" said Ranma
"I will train both of you. You both need it" replied Ookami
"I guess I can train with her she's really good" said Akane
"Not she 'he' Akane" said Ookami
"Are you blind? that is a girl." said Akane
"You will get an explanation soon enough for now go take a bath." said Ookami before adding "Separately."
"We're both girls it doesn't matter." said Akane
"It does matter trust me." answered Ookami
Despite Ookamis advice Akane went to join Ranma in the bath but as she opened the door with nothing but a towel covering some of her modesty (and not much of it)instead of an attractive red head girl she found a black haired pigtailed boy getting out of the tub.
Akane slowly backed out of the room put on her robe and slippers exited the changing room and took a deep breath and prepared to scream but before she could Ookami covered her mouth with his left hand.
"I knew you were too stubborn for your own good now don't scream and I'll explain." said Ookami
Akane nodded her head and Ookami let her go and took a step back before starting to explain.
"That boy is the same person you spared with earlier."
"To hell it is that was a boy I spared with a girl I know the difference!" exclaimed Akane
The changing room door opened behind her and the now male Ranma stepped out.
"Sorry Akane I didn't mean to hide this from you I was just..." Said Ranma
"He was afraid you would reject him and he would lose your friendship when you found out." finished Ookami
"I ain't afraid of nothin." argued Ranma
"Why would he be afraid of that?" asked Akane ignoring Ranmas cry of 'I ain't afraid.'
"What would you expect if you changed genders with the application of cold water?" asked Ookami
"Ok I can see that but 'you' should have told me." replied Akane
"It isn't my place to tell." said Ookami
Before they could argue anymore Nabiki and Kasumi walked up to them.
"What are you two arguing about?" asked Nabiki
"Why is your friend?" asked Kasumi
Ranma looked at the ground and said sadly "I'm Ranma Saotome sorry bout this."
"It would be best if Ranma and Genma explained this." said Ookami
So the whole group went into the family room to find Soun and a fat bald men later identified as Genma talking.
