(Akane age 3)
Akane was happy as today, she was finally joining Nabiki at school. However, that turned to sadness when she found that she wouldn't be in the same room with her sister. Her mother took her through a different set of doors while her sister went through a different door but while still sad she become happy again after making friends with Yuka, Sayuri, Tai and Satoshi
When Akane wasn't at daycare playing with her friends and learning learn to read, write and count, she was watching her parents teach classes and her sisters and would try to mimic what they were doing. She would also watch as her sisters sparred with other students or with each other. When she would ask if she could learn they would say "When your older" which upset her
(Akane age 4)
A few days after her birthday, Akane was watching Nabiki and Kasumi run through katas. As she was watching she was wishing she would be allowed to do it as well.
"Akane, this is for you. It was to be part of your birthday gift but it didn't arrive in time, so I'm giving it to you now" Akane opened the package and found a white gi with the Tendo logo on it, just like the other students and she looked up at her father
"Daddy?"
"Go get changed, sweetie. Today you start your training"
Akane ran to her room, got changed then she joined her sisters in the dojo ready to begin her training
(Ranma age 3-4)
Ranma was uncomfortable but was in awe when he entered the building*, as he passed the front desk to his left there was a door, to his right, there were two doors and in front of him was a huge staircase and a room as he approached, he saw there was a swimming pool. He was taken to through a set of doors to a classroom where he would learn to read, write, count and play
He soon made friends with Senku, Hakura, Ami and Tenchi
For Ranma these would be the happiest two years of his life unfortunately soon he won't remember them
(Akane age 5)
"Girls were going on a family trip and a training if you girls are interested" Soun announced
"Where are we going, Daddy?" Kasumi (age 8) asked
"That's a surprise but were spending most of the time at a hotel and there's a nearby campground for me to take Akane or all of you girls for some martial arts training "
"When are we going, honey?" Kimiko asked
"As soon as we're packed"
So while he got camping supplies, Kimiko helped the girls pack before packing her and Soun's stuff then a half-hour later they were off and after an hour and a half long car trip they arrived at a hotel near Lake Sagami**
Five days later Akane was the only one who wanted to train in the so she and Soun left Kimiko and her sisters and went to the Shinizuen** Campground, once the tent was set up, Soun began training her.
Two days later Akane got lost when heading back to her and her father's campsite but instead of staying put until she was found or retracing her steps (if she remembered how she got where she was) she wandered off and ended up at Ryugenzawa
When she didn't return Soun went to the campground store and used the phone to call his wife to let her know Akane was missing, then left a picture with the cashier and ask him (who would tell the next shift) to watch out for her. As she was looking around, she was attacked by a giant platypus but was saved by a young boy
"Are you ok?"
"Yes, thank you -gasp- your hurt," she noticed deep cuts on his back from the platypus, as he passed out
"HELP, SOMEBODY HELP US" she shouted
An old man came a couple of minutes later and told Akane he was Shinnosuke's grandfather, he then brought them back to his house Shinnosuke gave her a Horn Whistle as a momentum before his grandfather took her to the campground general store/laundry mat/shower area.
Akane said goodbye to Shinnosuke's grandfather before entering the store where she told the cashier where she was staying in the park and she gave her directions just as he in and saw
"DADDY"
"AKANE"
She then told him what had happened, he didn't believe her but kept it to himself and started the strength training she asked to start doing.
(Ranma age 5)
Ranma was upset when he was told he couldn't go to kindergarten because his father insisted on taking him on a martial arts training trip instead and the first few months were hard. Ranma didn't want to be there so Genma said
"I want to go home I don't want to be a martial artist"
"Well then, I guess we'll never be able to return home"
"What, why?"
"Because your Mom wanted you to be a strong man who can defend himself, not a weak little girl. That's why she agreed to the trip"
"Mommy wants me to be a martial artist?" Genma nodded "-sigh- ok Daddy, I'll become the best there is, was and ever will be"
(Ranma age 5 nearly 6)
Ranma was starving thanks to his father so when he smelt some food cooking nearby, he ran and snagged the item that smelled so good, causing a kid with a spatula to chase him but would lose him
The next day Ranma returned but unliked the previous day the kid's father grabbed Ranma and told him if he can get away the okonomiyaki was his reward for his victory and this went on for several weeks. One day Ukyo managed to catch him and asked for his help
Ukyo told him how she came across a man betting and beating children so she put up her Father's cart and lost, so Ranma agreed to and they went to face the Gambling King where he bested the Tendo dojo (a bit ironic considering this it's Akane) and he lost.
After learning he was cheating, they beat him then tied him up and threw him into the river, before heading back to the cart. From then on, the pair became more friends he even agreed to look after Ukyo for the rest of his life if the Sauce of Ten Years she made turned out. Seeing how well their children were getting on, Ukyo's father suggested to Genma that they get them engaged.
Of course, he agreed but while Ukyo was talking with her father, Genma put Ranma on top of the yattai and started running. A few seconds later Ukyo rounded the corner and saw them leaving and started to run after them
"RANCHAN" Ukyo yelled as she was waving
"BYE UUCHAN, I'LL MISS YOU"
"RANCHAN YOU JACKASS COMEBACK" she tripped she got up in tears "I was to go with you"
She went back to her father, told him what had happened. He told her that until she either married or killed Ranma from this day on she would be a man, he even enrolled her into an all-male school where she made a friend with Hakura
(Akane age 6)
A few months after Akane's sixth birthday, Kimiko was hospitalized. Soun never told the girls why their mother was in the hospital until the day Soun and Nodoka brought them to visit their mother because a doctor took Soun aside and told him she only had a few hours left
When the girls entered her room, she called Kasumi to come to her when she did she held her and said "Please help daddy take care of your sister's" she replied that she would. She then called Akane and Nabiki foreword, they both kept onto the bed on either side of her "I want you two to be good girls for your father and sister, ok" they nodded. Nodoka then took the girls out of the room
A week later they had the funeral, her father stopped teaching he even shut down the dojo. While their father just sat around Kasumi not only took care of her sisters but also taught them what she knew but that only lasted a few months then she apologized as she couldn't teach them anything more and started focusing on them and the house, Nabiki started focusing on making money leaving Akane to learn by herself
(Ranma age 6)
It was a few months after leaving Ukyo, and Ranma was currently having a restless sleep as he was watching a older version of him fighting a "guy" who was wearing the same style outfit Uuchan was wearing in a ring but he couldn't hear anything. The dream ended as his father woke him up, as Genma decided to train Ranma in the first special technique or at least what Genma thought was a special technique.
"What you doing, daddy?" Ranma asked as his father covered him in fish
"Preparing you for the training" he replied
A few seconds later, he shoved Ranma into a pit and covered it up, when it didn't work he tried it several more times until the lid exploded, knocking him back. Genma looked around and saw his son crouched on all four
"ExcellAHHHHHH"
Ranma saw him as the person who hurt him so he attacked mauling him before running off. A few hours later Genma found his son at a cabin in the woods and an old woman was letting him sleep in her lap,
"Are you the one who did this to the boy? and don't lie"
"Sadly yes, I didn't know this would happen"
"DIDN'T KNOW? How could you not know it tells you why it's forbidden"
"I didn't read that until I woke up"
"YOU DIDN'T" she forced herself to calm down "You will leave your son with me for a week so I can give him some help so he won't go into the Nekoken so easily" she then said reluctantly "at the end of the week you can take your son"
Over the week the old woman got Ranma to the point that he could be around a cat, cats would still be a problem as well as not getting away from it or them.
A/N:
I always felt that Genma was a good although slightly corrupted and stupid father and that his taunts towards Ranma started as bait as he wanted Ranma to decide for himself to become a martial artist and over time became the mean, spirited nonsense he always spews
*= the description of Ranma's preschool is that of the Mini Skool (yes, that is how it was spelled although it is now called Montessori Academy) on Scotland ave in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canadian
**= Lake Sagami is an amusement park in Japan & Shimizuen is a campground in Japan #NOTE# since I have never been there, I am just using the name of the park bit describing Birds Hill National Park which is just outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba
Ladies and Gentlemen, I currently have a poll up on my profile page in regards to a sequel for Ranma The Amazon. please vote
