This story is going to be an AU and a crossover with large sections completely devoted to the other characters. I do not own Ranma ½, Naruto, or Harry Potter. Or anything else I might add.

Prologue: Oh Kami-sama!

Ranma knelt once again in front of the small shrine, trying to ponder a solution to the problem that was his life. The peaceful quiet here allowed him to relax unlike anywhere else. He was close to the edge and knew it. The constant psychological, emotional, and physical abuse he suffered day in and day out had begun taking its toll on him. He didn't know how much more he could handle before he snapped. It didn't help matters, that he could see no peaceful resolution. Even his love for Akane had begun to go sour under the inevitable onslaught.

He thought about just leaving it all behind, but knew he'd just be tracked down – as Xian Pu, Ukyo, and Ryoga had already proven. He was at his rope's end and desperately needed a miracle.

" Please, Kami-Sama," he prayed, "Help me find an answer. I don't know how much more of this I can take."

I just might have an answer, if you're willing to accept the sacrifice, a powerful voice boomed in his head, making Ranma's eyes widen in surprise.

And before you ask, no I'm not Kami-sama, the voice chuckled, but I am a close associate of his… Fate.

You see Ranma, you represent a bit of a professional anomaly to me. After you defeated Saffron you were fated to die of critical injuries, but because of your extremely strong survival instincts, you didn't. Thus, my own quandary. I thought you might be able to just settle down to a quiet life with Akane, but the failed wedding proved that impossible. You just attract too much chaos.

So after much deliberation, I've come to the conclusion, that the best possible solution to this whole problem for you and everyone else involved, is to go with the original plan and remove you from the picture entirely.

A/N: Evil cliffhangers – hehehe. Please review!
