Strange...
A Ranma ½ fanfic
I do not own Ranma ½ or any series that I may use characters from in the future; if I did then I wouldn't be writing this.
Chapter 1, the probability of being struck by lightning twice in a row is 1/360,000,000,000
PROLOUGE TO THE FIRST CHAPTER
A being named world arcane was given the task of getting Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo married within 62 days, having already made his preparations for the first day by giving Tatewaki Kuno immense power and restoring the sense of nobility that his delusions had slowly degraded, he need only sit back and wait as his plan unfurl, this is where the we truly begin...
Furinkan high school. Day 1
Kuno waited calmly for his rival and Akane Tendo to arrive, and for the first time in a long time, did not feel any desire to "free her" from Saotome. The ancient scroll of the arcane sword style had restored his sanity; he no longer believed that his kohai Ranma was a "vile sorcerer", even if he was cursed. Kuno doubled over from how sick the thought of Ranma's curse now made him, he had repeatedly tried to force himself on and take advantage of a MAN! That was just sick. He knew that Ranma had tried to tell him of his true nature and only took advantage of him, or any male, when he was desperate, but this situation was a disgrace to both of their honour. Only one course of action could be taken.
A duel, to save at least one of them their honour. It was the most logical thing he could think of.
"Ranma no Baka!"
ah, there they were he glance over at the couple long enough for him to see Akane hit Saotome with her hammer, and long enough for a thought implanted by world to take full form.
HE IS A PROUD AND POWERFUL WARRIOR; SHE IS A WEAKILING WHO KLINGS TO MAGIC AND POTIONS. She is the real sorcerous villain THE ONLY REASON HE ALOWS HER TO HIT HIM IS OUT OF MISPLACED LOVE. You share a bond. SHE DOES NOT DESERVE HIM; HE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE FORCED TO MARRY HER. Ranma-Chan deserves someone strong. SHE IS WRONG FOR HIM. Like she was wrong for you. HE DOES NOT REALLISE THIS.You must find some way to make Ranma-Chan see the truth YOU ARE A NOBLE WARRIOR. The kind that Ranma-Chan really deserves. YOU CAN DEFEAT HIM. YOU CAN MAKE HIM END THIS FARCE OF AN ENGAGEMENT. And begin anew with you CHALLENGE HIM TO a DUEL, YOU WILL WIN, HE WILL NOT MARRY HER. Ranma can inherit your dojo instead.
Suddenly forcing himself on Ranma didn't seem sickening, only the acts of love for Akane and the way Akane treated Ranma sickened him, but he could not insult the lady out right. Yes, the duel of honour would still take place, but the stakes would be different.
"Ranma Saotome!" Kuno shouted!
His handsome rival turned away from the fight he was having with that wretched witch, as soon as he laid his eyes upon the speaker, they lit up like a flash of blue lightning, and soon he would be the blue thunder that accompanied that light. The tall, lean, kung-fu user face seemed to glow as a heavenly grin adorned it. Kendoist's heart nearly stopped when he heard the black haired boys voice like a chorus of angels "hey what's up Kuno Sempai!"
The swordsman regained his composure quickly, "Saotome! I hereby challenge you to a duel between men! If I should win-""let me guess, I cancel my engagement to Akane and release your pigtailed goddess from my clutches, that about right Kuno?"
Kuno sighed wistfully, any day before this my dear prince, he thought, before shaking his head and continuing his challenge, "nay Saotome, for I have regained my mind and learned to the truth, should I win this duel your engagement will be transferred to you, my pigtailed Kami!"
The entire school ground fell entirely silent; you could hear Gosunkugi drop his nails. A decent number of girls developed sudden nosebleeds.
His silk wrapped angel finally opened his mouth perfectly formed. "You're kidding, right?"
School roof
World was currently laughing so hard that it was beginning to hurt, he hadn't expected the slight mind alteration to have that kind of effect, and the thoughts of the students were even funnier!
"Heh, transferring his love for Akane and the pigtailed girl to both of Ranma's forms, and his hate for Ranma to Akane. I wish I had thought of that myself.
Back on the ground
Ranma could hear the student body whisper, "So Kuno really wanted Ranmas real form?""No, I think he just likes Ranmas girl half that much.""I think that Gosunkugi just died."" is this even legal?""sure, Ranma's half girl after all.""Seriously guys I can't find a pulse.""darn it, now I really don't have a chance with Kuno sempai!"" why did you want a chance?""Anybody got a cell phone? I think we need to call an ambulance right away."
Ranma couldn't think strait, there were traits that each person had he had come to accept, Mousse was blind, Ryoga couldn't find his way out of an open closet, Akane had a short temper, Shampoo couldn't speak Japanese properly if her life depend on it, and Kuno was an idiot who hated him and couldn't figure out his curse.
Not only did Kuno know about his curse, he had just proposed to him
No.
That
Did
Not
Just
Happen!
Ranma griped his stomach and grimaced, Kuno continued to stare at him expectantly.
Until Akane recovered her sense enough to smash him into the stratosphere with mallet-sama
On the roof again
"Heheheh, well enough laughs, I need to get to work." World drew out a deck of card, a seventy two card complete tarot deck, each one granted him the power to create an event, end and event, or create pawn to control. The king of swords was already glowing bright blue, the card he had used to control Kuno. Two pawns would not be enough; he would need more "helpers"
He searched the deck for reactions; there were five reactions to ki, all within the nermia district limits. "this should be enough" he smirked."
Somewhere in nermia XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ryoga sneezed, dropping his map in the processes. Part of his being thought that it was someone talking about him; another part thought that it was all Ranma's fault.
"Let me help you." Ryoga glanced up; a stranger wearing colourful clothing was holding his map out to him.
"Thank you!" civilization, finally! He glanced around. Crap, not civilization need to keep looking. Then he realized he could ask the kind stranger where he was.
"hey could you..." Ryoga gaped, he was not only not seeing the stranger, but was now in what appeared to be somewhere in the middle of the desert, whereas before when he looked around to see where he was, he had been in a forest. He knew exactly what had happened.
"DAMN YOU RANMA THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"
Failing to notice the green energy coming from his map.
