Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters, but I'm not trying to
make any money off this so I guess it's OK then.
This is a Ranma continuation and multi-cross-over with Sailor Moon,
Tenchi Muyo!, Mermaid Saga, Ah Megami-sama and Mamono Hunter Yohko. I'm
going to rate is 'R' for violence and possible citrus later on.
This is my first time writing a fan fiction, so please review and tell
me what you think.
Ranma Crossing Over too the Wild Side
By Paul Bennett aka Shadow
Chapter 4: Who's Nodoka's Daddy?
It had only taken the girls a half-hour to pack, then using Ryo-ohki it
only took another 15 minutes to reach the outskirts of Tokyo. Now they
were approaching the Tendo Dojo.
"Well, it was easy to get directions to this place, but why did those
people look at us that way?" Ayeka asks.
"What I thought was odd was that they didn't think of the wedding being
bombed or the 'cat-girl' on the loose as strange occurances as soon as
the names Tendo or Saotome were mentioned. Like things like this happen
to them all the time or something." Washu remarks. "I may have to
'study' these people if they are that interesting."
"Now Washu-chan, some of these people are my family." objects Katsuhito.
"Which makes them even better test subjects." she replies.
"Hmm, 'To challenge owner in savage combat, use rear door.' Well, which
door shall we use?" asks Ryoko.
"Now Ryoko-san, we're here to visit my daughter's family, not wreck the
place. So we'll use the front door, and I want you on your best
behavior." says Katsuhito as he knocks on the door.
"Well, there's always later, besides from the look of the Dojo they
don't need our help to wreck the place. I think our stay around here
will be interesting."
Tendo Soun answers the door saying "Hello, I'm Tendo Soun, how may I
help you?"
"Is Saotome Nodoka here, I'm her father and these are some of my friends."
"Oh, come in, and make yourselves comfortable, I'll have her meet you in
the tea room."
A few minutes later Nodoka enters with a tea serving platter, wearing a
nice kimono, and carrying a cloth wrapped long bundle slung across her back.
"Hello, Father, it's been a long time. I guess you must have seen the
news to decide to visit today."
"Yes, the news did quite catch our attention, why I didn't even know
that I had a granddaughter. But let me introduce you to my companions,
this is you aunt Masaki Ayeka."
"Pleased to meet you Nodoka-san, I hope to be of help to you and your
children."
"Thank you Ayeka-san, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"And this is Hakubi Ryoko, and Hakubi Washu the great scientist."
"It's good to see you again after so long Nodoka-chan, I was missed the
times that you would visit my cave, you've grown to be a beautiful young
woman."
"Umm, yes, nice to meet you Ryoko-san, I'm glad too see you on friendly
terms with the Masaki clan."
"Oh yes, little Ryoko-chan was quite the hellion in her time, but I'm
afraid she was under some duress. It's nice to meet you Nodoka-san, and
I'm looking forward to meeting your extraordinary children." say Washu
looking very cute.
"Thank you Washu-chan, I must say that you have defied age very well,
and I welcome any help you can give my son. Now I must tell you a bit
about Ranma and 'Ranko' because Ranma is my only child, even though
'Ranko' is the daughter I never had. You see Ranma and 'Ranko' are
closer than siblings can ever be, 'Ranko' is closer to Ranma than his
own shadow because of a curse from Jusenkyo, legendary training ground
of the accursed springs."
"Ahh yes, I've heard about Jusenkyo before, something about a
shapechanging curse similar to lycantropy but based on water rather than
phases of the moon." muses Katsuhito.
"Yes, Ranko is Ranma's female identity, when he tries to keep his curse
a secret. The 'cat-girl' is because of his training in the Neko-Ken
technique. Genma did some awful things to Ranma in the name of
training. The Neko-Ken and Jusenkyo are the two worst that I know of.
The Neko-ken is actually a berzerker state, where the martial artist
gains the mind of a cat with increased speed, and agility, as well as
the ability to manifest 'Ki claws' that can cut through about anything."
"Well, Nodoka I hope Ranma is a good martial artist, because is sounds
like he has suffered for it."
"He seems to think it was worth it, he has been training for the last 12
years, and is probably the best young martial artist that anyone has
ever seen, he once used the Neko-Ken to fight the 300 year-old Amazon
Elder Colonge to a forfit, he defeated the Dragon Prince Herb of the
Musk Dynasty in a battle that leveled Mount Horaison, and killed
Saffron, the Immortal Pheonix God, in a battle that took the top off of
Mount Pheonix while rescuing his fiancee Tendo Akane. He is a man among
men, even if he is a bit rude and uncouth from being raised on the road,
and cursed to be a girl part of the time."
"Well, it seems that you and Ranma won't have trouble accepting your
true heritage then. You see the Masaki clan is descended from alien
royalty, Ayeka-hime, my half-sister is the First Princess of the Jurai
Empire, making, you, me, Ranma, and your nephew Tenchi all Juraian
royalty. My heritage caught up me a little after Ryoko was released by
Tenchi last year, and that's another reason I had for seeking you out.
More and more aliens seem to be coming to Earth now that it is known
that we are here, you and Ranma could be targets. I'd like the chance
to take up your sword training again and teach Ranma the our sword style."
"Oh Father, that sounds wonderful, but you may have trouble with Ranma,
he considers weapons, well, a crutch used by lesser martial artists.
You should have no trouble getting him to spar however and I'm sure he'd
love to see any special techniques you have."
"So, how goes the search for Ranma the 'cat-girl' then."
"Well, Nabiki-san and Kasumi-chan, two of Tendo-kun's daughters have
gone to Juuban, following up on the last sightings. Tendo Akane and
Kuonji Ukyo have gone to the hospital to visit Hibiki Ryouga. The poor
boy confronted an angry Neko-Ranko-chan, and she clawed him up and
knocked him out before she ran off chasing that old pervert Happosai.
Now I really should start dinner, you can make yourselves at home, and
we have plenty of futons if you want to stay here tonight."
---------
While everyone was still at the table, finishing dinner the phone rings
and Soun get up to answer it. "Hello, ... oh, Nabiki-chan, .......
Juuban River Park ...... missed him by half an hour ....... got into a
car? .... Blood trail! ... Oh, footprints .... What channel? ... Channel
6, in a couple minutes, got it. .... Oh your coming home. .... That's
probably right. .... Oh, eating out, I'll tell her. Ja na."
"Saotome-kun could you turn the TV to channel 6, there is going the be
some news about Ranma. Nabiki says they missed Ranma by about half and
hour, and someone must have gotten him into a car, so we should know
where he is soon."
"Ok, Tendo-kun here is channel 6, looks like we got it just in time."
-------
"We have a news flash, just over an hour ago the missing 'cat-girl'
Ranko Saotome killed a monster in Juuban River Park. We can see the
police with the body covered behind us, and they are marking off the
bloody hand and foot prints of the 'cat-girl' walking away from her
kill." says the TV reporter standing outside the police line. "We have
managed to aquire some pictures of the body from the person who found
it. Be warned these pictures are extremely graphic and may be
unsuitable for some viewers, so take a moment and send the kids out of
the room. We have talked to Tendo Nabiki who knows 'Ranko' the
'cat-girl' and Nabiki-san tells us that Neko-Ranko-chan would never
attack a person like this, but felt no need to hold her claws in when
fighting a monster. OK, the pictures are ready. This first shot is a
whole body shot of the monster, notice it's blue skin, bug eyes, and
clawed hands. Also the body is in a large pool of blood. This shot is
of some deep slashes on the back, in this shot you can see that the
claws actually cut cleanly through several ribs, and in this last shot
is what must have been the finishing blow to the neck, the cuts go from
8 to 12 inches deep, almost completely severing the head from the body,
killing it instantly."
"Well, that was certainly quite graphic." says the TV anchorman. "From
what was reported from the hospital, the young man who was wounded at
the wedding received many cuts requiring over 200 stitches, lost over a
liter of blood, and has a serious concussion, but the cuts were quite
shallow, certainly nothing like the wounds that the monster received,
and while serious the wounds to the young man were not life
threatening. This is a picture of Ranko." showing a picture of
Ranma-chan wearing a black tanktop and shorts doing a kata. "She is
wearing a white tuxedo, and at this point is probably dirty and covered
in blood. If you see her please call the police or the number on the
bottom of the screen, there is a reward of 50,000 yen for information
that leads to the capture of the cat-girl, but you should not attempt to
capture her yourselves. And now we will return you to you regular TV show."
-------
"Kami-sama" Soun "I had no idea" Genma "Astounding" Katsuhito "Tsunami
preserve us" Ayeka "He was playing with it." Ryoko "I've got to get this
boy into the lab." Washu "My son is so DANGEROUS." Nodoka.
Everyone was a little shocked and horrified at the pictures on the news,
the amount of damage the Ranma had done to the monster was quite
staggering, any one of over a dozen wounds would have been fatal to a
human. That they had been inflicted with her bare hands was like a blow
to the gut.
After a few seconds of shocked silence Katsuhito spoke up. "I have heard
tales of how dangerous the Neko-Ken is, but thought them to be mere tall
tales, like most stories of demons and such, some truth the rest
fiction. But here we see what the Neko-Ken can really do when used with
deadly intent."
"Genma, WHAT were you THINKING, teaching Ranma to do THAT!" Nodoka yells
across the table gripping her katana in anger.
"But Nodoka, it's an unbeatable technique, that monster didn't stand a
change. I didn't know it would make him scared of cats or that it
couldn't be controlled. Ranma has only seriously hurt two people when
in the Neko-Ken, and both times he was provoked, and even then he held
back."
"Two people Genma, who besides Hibiki-san has he injured?"
"The other one was me, of course, he was quite upset with me when he
burst out of the pit, and I approached him yelling and tryed to grab
him, he swatted me and gave me three long but shallow cuts then ran off,
I was able to wrap the wound and get to the hospital, but I was laid up
for almost two weeks."
"I'd say he deserved it." Ryoko remarked.
After everyone heard the explanation of the Neko-Ken training they all
agreed that he deserved it. Washu even offered to try to get Ranma
control over the Neko-Ken figuring it's a great excuse to get him in the
lab for some 'samples'.
Half an hour later Soun picked up another call from Nabiki, and after
hanging up says "Well, Ranma has come out of the Neko-Ken and is going
to stay overnight with an old friend of his in Juuban. Genma do you
know who Hino Rei is?"
"Yeah, I remember her, she's about a year younger than Ranma, it sort of
figures she'd find him."
"How's that Genma dear?" asks Nodoka.
"Well the Hino family brought Ranma out of the Neko-ken the first time
and took care of him for a couple weeks while I was laid up with the
stitches before I could go looking for him. While Ranma was with them
he an Rei were quite close, and she had played with Neko-Ranma when she
first found him."
"They were close, Saotome-kun, Please tell me she's not another
FIANCEE?!" yells Demon-head Soun, his head coming over the table to
menace Genma.
"My son is so Manly, to have so many fiancees, but how will he be able
to marry them all? It's such a shame that so many girls will be
heartbroken." Nodoka cries out.
"Actually, Nodoka-sama, Jurai royal tradition calls for at least two
wives." Ayeka informs her. "So maybe he won't have too disappoint
them. How many fiancees does Ranma-sama have?"
"Well Genma, how many fiancees does Ranma have?" Nodoka asks her husband.
"Uhm, OK, lets see. First we have the engagement to one of Tendo-kun's
daughters, then Hino Rei, Kuonji Ukyo, Masaki Kaede, Aino Minako when we
were in England, then Shampoo and maybe her amazon sisters Ling-Ling,
Lung-Lung, Perfume, and Lotion, and just recently Kuno Kodachi." Genma
replies, going over the list in his head.
"Oh dear, I forgot that I engaged Ranma-kun to my friend Hitome's
daughter Kino Makoto, the poor girl, her parents were both killed
several years ago and I look after her a little." Nodoka tells him. "I
think I also remember your mother once mentioning a pledge to the Mano
clan now that I think of it, but I'm not sure if it was for a marriage,
and it was conditional on something."
"Oh that, I remember now. The Mano's are a Mamono Hunter clan, if the
girl is a virgin at 16 she can become a Mamono Hunter, a boy has to stay
a virgin until 18 to receive his Mamono Hunter weapon and powers, and if
they are both still unwed then they become engaged to unite the Mamono
Hunter clans, but no Saotome men have been able to use the Yasha Hitu
Satsu katana for 10 generations."
"But Genma, Ranma is only a couple of weeks from being 18, and I don't
think he has actually slept with any of his fiancees yet, or they would
have dragged him to the altar already." Nodoka replies. "The Yasha Hitu
Satsu (Demon Certain Kill) katana, is that this one that I've been
carrying for the last 22 years?"
"Yes, that's it. The Saotome men haven't been able to use it's power
for 10 generations, so our wives keep the katana until one of us becomes
a Mamono Hunter again."
"Oneesama, do you think this Masaki Kaede could be a relation of ours?"
Ayeka asks Katsuhito.
"Well, I do have a great, great..., great granddaughter by that name
that lives in Osako, and I think she's about 17 years old." Katsuhito
replies.
"That's probably her then." Genma says. "Her father Masaki Ichiro
taught a unique kenjitsu style, I got him to teach it to Ranma, as well
as spar against him sword vs unarmed to teach him too dodge a blade in
battle."
---------------------
05-02-04 Extended the family meeting with the possibility of a Jurai
polygamous marriage for Ranma, and listing his possible fiancees. I
don't plan on Ranma marrying all of them, he will try and get rid of
some of the excess amazons at least, maybe satting up fights with Ryu,
Kuno, Ryouga, and/or Konatsu with some of the amazons.
Feel free to mention possible matchups and matchmaking schemes to me in
reviews or e-mail them too me. Also possible curse cures that the
senshi or Jurai crews could come up with.
