The Brothers Of Old
(Thanks for more positive reviews trusty readers! And some of you had requests or hopes for something in this or other chapters. Don't worry about it I have thought about many of those ideas and I came up with the conclusion to try and use many of your ideas as much as possible but not make the story go so far off the original story I wrote or as farfetched. To those who hate many of the characters in Ranma ½ like Genma, let me inform you that there will be character bashings in the story since I hate many of Ranma ½ crew.)
Now on with the story!
Chapter 3: The Explanation and maybe a Cure?
"WHAT!" the aghast listeners said wide-eyed and shocked.
"Well I wouldn't expect Ranma to remember since it he was about 7 at the time… where do YOU think you're going you fat-ass bastard I used to call a father, Genma?" Kyo said. Everyone looked up to see Genma sweating bullets and in the middle of trying make a run for the front door. "But that wasn't much of an introduction. I am Kyo Saotome Nanashi, I am the grand- master of my own style I call the Mugen Tenken ryu (The Infinite heavens Fist style) I also a user of ni-to-ryu (two sword style) and the blood-pact brother of Ranma Saotome and adopted brother." Kyo said bowing down
"Old man, you have a lot to explain for." Ranma said. And with that Genma tried to run for the koi pond to become a panda so he could shrug off explaining his own crimes. "Oh no you don't!" Kyo whispered as he concentrated ki to his hands and then launching it towards Genma. He tried to dodge the attack but soon was entangled in a net made of pure shining white ki. Slowly Kyo pulled Genma back slowly and painfully as he purposefully by dragging him over the dry rocky parts of the the Tendo's lawn.
"Now where was I… oh yes, I was about to tell you about how I came to be adopted by the fat lazy slob over there." Kyo said and then took a deep breath then started, "Well, it started about 4 years before Ranma learned the Neko-ken, although he hasn't mastered it yet and the training method in the old text were incomplete because the complete form of the technique has been developed into a style of its own." Kyo said off-handedly and sensing something was going to happen, "Before you ask any questions let me finish my story ok?" everyone nodded.
"Well anyways like I said it was about 4 years before Ranma learned the Neko-ken I met him and this fat-ass. You see before they found me I was beat up and lynched by some high school thugs and I was left to die from massive blood loss when Ranma found me." Kyo reminisced, "You see Ranma knew I was in trouble so he, instead of doing nothing like the rest of the people there, he took what ever was left of medical supplies and treated me the best a 6 year old could do and considering he traveled and trained a lot he knew what he was doing" this compliment put a blush on Ranma's face, "Well that's when his father decided to show up and Ranma asked if I could go with them."
"Umm… Kyo-kun, is it ok if I serve tea to everyone before it goes cold?" Kasumi asked as she began to fill cups with hot green tea. "Oh I'm sorry Kasumi I didn't know, go ahead. Oh, can I have mine extra strong please?" Kyo asked
"Sure." Kasumi said as she made a strong batch for Kyo. After she did she handed all the cups out to each person and finally gave Kyo his cup he took a sip and started again.
"At first Genma said no because I would just slow them down and I would just be another mouth to feed." Everyone then looked at Genma with a look that could kill. " well he finally cracked down and said I could travel as long as I trained just as hard as Ranma and share his responsibilities to. Well we traveled around here and there and everything was good if you could say Genma's training methods were sane or not and Nodoka"
"Please call me mom please I can't have my own adopted son to see me as a stranger." Nodoka said smiling. "Ok mother, Ranma will inform you on our travels and the training methods we were put under and the amount of torture we went through but other than that, it was all right until that day…" Kyo stopped all of a sudden and when you looked into his eyes you could see a held back fire, (no I didn't mean to be subtle), an Inferno of untold anger and sorrow.
"What, what happened Kyo?" Everyone but Ranma knew what he was talking about.
"The day Ranma and I were to learn the neko-ken." Everyone gasped at this information of course Nodoka was clueless, "When we found the training manual I read the page informing us about the dangers of learning it and told Genma about it but he paid no heed even though I showed him the exact page he skipped." Everyone looked at Genma who was sweating bullets at this point and trying to wriggle out of the ki- ropes but to no avail. "You will be dealt with later bottom feeding scum" Kyo said with venom flowing out with each word. "Well when I was about to reach where Ranma was Genma took a shortcut and took me by surprise. After we fought a little he knocked me out but what he didn't know was that since he was slow I dodged right on time to just enough not to be knocked out but immobile. After that he carried me to some shady people who were doing some cracked experiments with human regeneration who he sold me to for a bowl of rice and the reason behind it… BEAUSE HE WAS HUNGRY!" this angered Nodoka to no end.
"Genma how could you! You sold our adopted son for a bowl of rice so you can feed yourself!" Nodoka said angrily drawing her sword out of it's scabbard.
"No mother! Don't do it or you'll be just like him in the end. Plus I got some thing worse in store for him any ways." The evil grin on Kyo's face almost made the fat bastard shit his pants.
"Well after that ordeal I was…
20 minutes later… (I will not show or tell what happened because it will take too long and I want to try and get to the end as soon as possible.)
And that's what happened in the lab." Kyo finished everyone was green and sick from what they of what happened in the evil place. Nodoka was fuming mad at Genma for doing such a thing 'If he did that to him then I don't want to know what he did to Ranma. I'm going to divorce that honorless man at the first chance I get.' She thought as she quietly left for the bathroom to vomit. Once Nodoka was back Kyo started again.
"After I got out of there I traveled around to find Ranma. with only rumors to keep me going I traveled around and in to China." Gasp "Don't worry, I didn't visit Jusenkyou because I'm not dumb enough to not learn the language and learn aheadof time the facts of these places." sigh everyone let out a breath making Kyo laughed, " Well and after that I headed back to Japan hearing that you came back but didn't come back because I was busy with something else. Which brings me to the other reason I'm here… Ranma are you still cursed?"
"Yeah why?" Ranma said puzzled.
"Because the other reason is because I found you a cure to your curse." Kyo said with a grin.
"WHAT!" Everyone said. "Boy as your adoptive father you are honor bound to give me the cure first!" Genma said crawling towards Kyo, " You deserve no cure you bastard! Ranma is the only one in the world who deserves this cure." Kyo yelled angrily, Genma cringed atKyo's voice. This is when Happosai decided to step in, " No student of mine will get the cure if it means I lose one of my precious sweets (a.k.a women's breasts) !"
And Happosai jumped at Kyo, " Mugen Tengu Fuusatsuha (Infinite Sky demon Wind slash Blast)!" was all everyone heard when a Ki- based wind blast that shot Happosai back like a bullet. "I heard Ranma refused to become your pupil and your sexual harassment of my brother is unacceptable." Kyo turned back to Ranma, " Ranma, I will give you the cure if you follow these following conditions… but first mother, what will you do after all of this?"
"I will divorce Genma, I already have the paper works just incase, and I'll also take custody of Ranma and you. You will once again take the name of Saotome and Genma will be taken off the family registry and all engagements made by my good for nothing husband will all be annulled!" Nodoka said wit ha smirk, "Oh, and we will live in my family house."
"Well I was going to say renounce your father, annul all engagements and live with mother but now the only one I have left is for you to take up my style so I we can run a dojo together in our style!" Kyo said with a large grin. "So you in or are you out?"
To be continued….
(I will explain in later chapters on what happened to Kyo and how he came up with his unique fighting style.)
