Samurai Song

Prelude
Interesting how little things can change the big picture.
Have you ever seen a pond of perfectly flat water? Then you throw a tiny pebble into it. You watch as ripples slowly but surely dance over the top changing the image. Time is a lot like that. You can change it with the tiniest detail, even a pebble.
A Sherpa guide is at a crossroads in time. He just doesn't know it yet. If he did he would have probably stayed in bed instead of climbing a mountain today, but he is climbing a mountain in Japan today so it makes no difference. In five seconds he may or may not slip. If he doesn't life will go on relatively normal and the unborn boy named Ranma Saotome will live his life as he is destined to, but if he does things will be slightly different.
Oops, he just slipped.
As the Sherpa slipped he sent a small pebble down the mountain, It hits Kenji Hibiki on the head causing him to yelp "ouch", This in turned caused an avalanche which made him run to the left towards the right direction and he got home a day early. As a result he never fought a young bartender and martial artist who, because he wasn't weak and helpless, managed to stop two thieves named Genma and Soun from stealing one extra bottle of sake to add to the others they had stolen. Happosai was not properly drunk so he managed to grab a bra before they sealed him away which allowed him to escape after only a year imprisoned.
The other changes I think you will notice.
Chapter 1
New Lives,
Look out Nerima
Nerima, Present Day
It was breakfast at the Tendo's. A happy and peacful time for the Tendo's, Soun and his daughters Kasumi, Nabiki, and Akane. As they ate the meals prepared forthem by Kasumi Soun went through his mail
"Ahhh a post card from my good friend Genma Saotome. I wonder what he has been up to all these years." said Soun Tendo, Leader of the Tendo School of Anything Goes Martial Arts.
"What's it say, daddy?" Nabiki asked.
"It says he just finished training his son and will be coming to Nerima to visit us to complete our arrangements, he says he has a surprise to."
"What arrangements?" Akane asked suspiciously.
"Well it was before even Kasumi was born that me and Genma sat down and talked about the future of our school. With our Master gone we had decide to unite our schools in the only way possible, we signed a contract saying we would marry our children and let them inherit the dojo."
"You what!" Nabiki and Akane screamed.
"Oh, my." Kasumi gasped.
"Well, you see girls," Soun stated in way of an explanation, "it is a matter of family honor so one of you must take the engangment. Backing out would be just as dishonorable as"
"Fighting a girl?" Akane growled evilly as she cracked her knuckles.
"UhA..ka..ne..?" Soun asked feebly, " What are you doi"
"SOUN-NO-BAKA!"
Interlude
"Where the hell am I now!" yelled the eternally lost boy, " Ranma Saotome of the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts will die for my torment!"
As Ryouga continued his rant a young man passing by stopped and looked at Ryouga.
"Did you just say School of Anything goes Martial Arts?" the man asked.
"Maybe." Ryouga said looking at the man before him, he looked about 19 years old with long brown hair tied into a ponytail, and he had a katana sword tied to his backpack and carried himself like a martal artist.
"Tell me what you know about this School of Anything goes."
"And if I don't?" Ryouga asked adopting a fighting stance.
Ryouga's opponent laughed, "Then I'll have to fight it out of you." Drawing his katana he readied himself for the battle.
Ryouga attacked first trying to end the fight quickly but found all his blows blocked by the fighters katana. Ryouga jumped back and drew his umbrella as the other fighter attacked. Ryouga blocked and parried the martial atist sword but the man moved too quickly to keep this up.
*Better finish this* Ryouga thought, " Supersonic Punch!" he yelled as his fist launched itself at the fighter creating a sonic boom that threw the swordsman backwards.
Dust flew up around where the man had landed. As he slowly got back up and went into a fighting stance, Ryouga looked amazed. No one could take that punchand not be seriously hurt. Yet this wannabe samurai just brushed it off like a regular punch.
Meanwhile a certain "wannebe samurai" was angry, that punch had hurt when it connected, and when the man named Akira Nyoto was angry, people tended to get hurt. Akira quickly sheathed his blade and cupped his hands. To Ryouga's amazement a ball of ki slowly builded strength as Akira launched himself into the
"SHI SHI HODOKAN!" Akira yelled shooting a massive ball of ki that connected with Ryouga's chest throwing him to the ground. Akira then jumped towards Ryouga as the lost boy got up, "KATCHU TENNIN AMURGURIKEN!" he yelled hitting Ryouga one hundred and fifty-six times.
"Now," Akira said as he picked up Ryouga's prone form, "Where is this Ranma Saotome?"
"FFurinkan High School."
"And where is Furinkan?"
"Nerima."
"Thank you."
Akira dropped Ryouga on the ground, " I'm sorry I had to hurt you. You have a lot of potential as a martial artist. Very few people can actually hit me, but a certain master of that particular school is going to die a very painful death."
And with that said the samurai walked away and dissapeared into the woods. Ryouga blacked out only to wake up a few minutes later in a different spot.
"WHERE THE HELL AM I NOW"
Author notes: Well a few things have changed and someone has a new enemy already. (Guess whom.) Why did Ryouga get beaten so badly you ask? That will be revealed later along with the secret behind Ryouga's "Supersonic Punch"
Chapter 2
Meet the Tendo's
"Put me down you big tub of lard! I wanna go back to China." A young red head yelled while being carried through Nerima by a panda.
<Ding-Dong>
"Father, there's a panda and a young girl here to see you." Kasumi said.
"A panda? I don't know any panda's" Soun thought.
"LET, ME DOWN!" Yelled the young redhead.
"Growf!" the panda growled at Soun as he put the redhead down on the floor.
"Dumb panda just goes charging in here as if no one is going to freak out." The redhead muttered.
"And who my you be?" Kasumi asked.
"I'm Ranma Saotome and the panda's my old man." Ranma said.
"I thought Ranma was a boy." Nabiki said confused and poking Ranma in the chest. "And you are definitely a girl."
"WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT!" Ranma yelled hitting Nabiki's hand away.
Akane meanwhile was just relieved he wasn't a boy, "Do you want to be friends?" She asked Ranma.
"UhhSure."
"Ranma," Kasumi interrupted "Why don't you take a bath and afterwards you can explain the whole thing."
"OK!" Ranma said jumping at the idea of a nice hot bath. He hadn't had a bath in weeks.
Akane walked down the hallway towards the bathhouse in her bathrobe. As she slowly entered and derobed the sight of a very male and very naked Ranma greeted her.
" HENTAI! BAKA! PERVERT!" Akane yelled at Ranma chasing Ranma down the hallway.
"Hold on let me explain you crazy woman!" Ranma yelled at Akane as he wrapped a towel around his waist.
"Whats going on out here?" Nabiki asked.
"Oh my!" Kasumi exclaimed.
"Hold on Ms. Tendo." Genma said entering with Soun, "I think I can explain. My son Ranma, over there, and I traveled to China and befell the curse of Jusenkyo. Let me deomonstrate." Genma explained pouring cold water on Ranma.
"WHAT'D YOU DO THAT FOR!" Ranma yelled throwing Genma into the nearby koi pond.
"Growf" the panda growled emerging from the water.
"So how do you change back?" Nabiki asked.
"Hot water." Ranma stated simply.
Kasumi looked at the teakettle in her hands and poured the water on the female Ranma.
"I said hot not boiling!" Ranma exclaimed jumping up.
Nabiki shook her head. This was going to be interesting.
"So you are a boy?" Soun asked.
"YES!"
Suddenly the door of the house swung open to reveal a very angry young man.
"OYAJI!" He yelled.
"UhhhhiJeikobufunny seeing you here." Genma said to Jeikobu.
"How dare you leave me leave to that Amazon. You cowardly bastard. Do you know what they did to me." Jeikobu spat out angrily.
"Take it easy. I just thought you would be happy to marry that girl." Genma said nervously.
"You're in trouble now, pop." Ranma mumbled.
"YOU BASTARD I OUGHT TOwhat's that sound?" Jeikobu asked, choking Genma.
"AIREN!"
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Jeikobu yelled running into the horizon.
"Well at least we can proceed with the engagement now, Saotome."
"Yes it would certainly seem so."
"These are my daughters, Akane, Kasumi, and Nabiki. Choose the one you want to marry."
"Uhmm Marry?" Ranma wondered confused.
"He wants Akane." Nabiki said pushing Akane towards Ranma.
"Oh, definitely." Kasumi said.
"Ahhhhthe two true heirs to the Anything Goes School are now engaged. It does my heart good to see such a perfect couple." Soun said.
"I am not marrying that hentai, baka, pervert!" Akane shrieked.
"Who asked you, you tomboy."
"Arrrgghhh!!!
"Already acting like newlyweds." Genma said.
Everyone facefaults.
Authors Note: That's the end of part 2, questions are abound such as who is Jeikobu (Read "Sibling Rivalry" by Jeikobu for the details.) And who is Akira. All of these will be answered fairly soon. Next episode, Happosai and Ryouga and Kuno oh my! ^_^
