Prolog
Memories
+---------------------------- ------------------------------+
A female figure sits on top of an unconscious panda, watching the sun go down from her perch.
With a sigh she thought ["Its kinda hard to believe all of this... I can't believe I got cursed."] She then sank into memories of the past.
- 10 years ago -
"Bye Mom!", a young boy shouted as he ran to catch up with his father. ["I'll be the best martial artist ever!"] he thought as he tried to match his father's stride.
- 9 years ago -
"Please Pop, don't put me back in there with those kitties!" a cut and bloody boy cried as his father prepared to toss him, covered in fish products, back into a pit of starved cats.
"Quit whining Ranma, a true martial artist should not fear little cats. You WILL go back in until you learn the Neko-Ken and get over your fear of cats." the father yelled as he tossed his son and covered the pit with a lid.
- 7 years ago -
"C-c-c-cat!!!" Screamed a 9-year-old boy as he ran in fear from the small white kitten.
"Ranma, How many times have I told you...", The fat old man started before a sudden strike from behind knocked him out.
Ranma was cowering by a tree with his hands covering his face and his head between his knees as he tried to shake off his fear of felines. Looking up he noticed the cat was gone, and in its place an older man stood. He noticed his father slumped over a rock, out like a light. "What do you want?" Ranma asked nervously.
"I would like to know why you have such a fear of cats," the old man said, "Maybe I can help you."
Ranma found himself in no place to argue as he somehow he knew he could trust this man.
"Well Mister, it's a long story, but here it goes..."
- 2 years ago -
"Well, you have learned everything I can teach you Ranma." the elderly man said. "It is time that you begin to train yourself. And remember not to let your father learn of your training with me for as long as possible. You may not be a strong psychic now, but given a few years your powers should increase with practice. Also I was able to remove your fear of cats for the most part so you shouldn't have to fear cats anymore, I still can't believe it took 5 years to purge that fear."
"Yes Master Kia. And thank you."
- Present Time -
["Well so much for Pops not knowing about my secret training with Master Kia. I had hoped to get back to Japan before he found out I had psychic powers. I really went too far after he knocked me into that cursed spring."] Ranma-chan thought as the panda under her started to stir. ["That was really stupid, even for Pops, to go to that cursed training ground, although I really shouldn't have screamed at him telepathically. At least I'm not powerful enough to hurt him too bad yet."]
- 10 Minutes ago -
"Oh sirs, is very bad if you fall in spring!" Shouted a large round Chinese man as he ran towards his clients, who had just leaped 10 feet into the air to land on top of bamboo sticks poking out of the springs.
"Come on Ranma, it's time to start training. I won't go easy on you!" shouted Genma.
"Good, that's just how I like it!" replied Ranma.
After a few leaps from pole to pole, the two engaged in mid-air combat. Splitting apart, and back to their separate poles, the two got ready for another leap. They both leaped towards each other at the same time, moving at incredible speeds. A short brawl occurred in mid-air, resulting in Genma being kicked straight down into one of the many pools of water scattered below.
"What's wrong Pops? Giving up already?" shouted Ranma as he returned to his pole. Getting no response he hopped to a close pole, slightly worried.
Just then a large Panda jumped out of the spring and landed on top of one of the nearby poles. The panda went into a combat stance and prepared to strike.
"WHAT IS THAT?!?" Ranma screamed as he pointed at the large black and white bear that had his Pop's glasses hanging off one ear.
"Oh sir you fall in spring of drowned Panda, tragic story of Panda that drowned there 2000 years ago. Now whoever falls in spring takes body of Panda." the guide said holding out a sign.
Just then the panda leaped at the young boy and with a quick attack, sent him flying towards a nearby pool of water.
*SPLASH*
A young, cute red-headed poked her head above the water.
"Oh no, you just fell into Spring of drowned girl, very tragic story of girl that fall into spring 1500 years ago and drown. Now anybody that falls in spring takes body of young girl!" shouted the guide, as he made another sign appear in his hands.
The young woman took a deep breath and looked down noticing her training gi now pointed out quite a bit, sure enough she was female.
The following scream was heard echoing from the surrounding mountains for quite a distance.
{"POPS!!! You better start running, NOW!!!"} Genma heard in his head. Seeing the look on Ranma's face he quickly decided to invoke his greatest attack, he turned around and made for the hills. A little to slow.
- Present Time -
The guide came up the hill with a teapot in his hands. Ranma-chan turned towards him thinking that this was not a good time for tea.
"Oh, there you are sirs. I have been looking all over for you. I forgot to tell you that hot water will change you back..." the guide started.
At that time Ranma started to cheer up... but was cut short as the guide finished explaining the curse.
"... but cold water will make you girl and panda again." the guide finished as he poured the contents of the kettle over the heads of the girl and the now awake panda.
"Oh the shame, My son is a little girl now!" wailed Genma right before Ranma punched him in the face.
"Its your fault Pops." Ranma said as he removed his fist from Genma's face. Turning to the guide he asked, "Is there any permanent cure?".
"Oh sir, I do not know of any cure."
"We in that case we shall set off to finish your training Ranma." Genma said as he recovered. "We have an appointment back in Japan we must be at in a few weeks, so we had better get started." ["Maybe Soun will understand and feed us until Ranma can find a cure for me."]
+----------------------------------------------------------+
All the changes I made are pretty much cosmetic. Alot of typos fixed, and grammar redone. I'll probably add more about Ranma's training under Mater Kia in a side story, so stop bugging me about it!
