If things started differently

By Supergirl

A/N: I don't own Ranma ½ who ever does ,does and it isn't me.

"Oh joy!" cried Soun Tendo as he read his letter. "Today Ranma is coming!!!" The three girls who sat across from him looked at him blankly. "Who's Ranma daddy?" asked Kasumi sipping her tea. "One of your girls' fiancée." He said in a happy tone. "Are what?!?!?!" they all exclaimed. "Yes and he is taking which ever one with him on a training expedition for a year in china to train."

"How boring." said Nabiki. "Really just training?" asked an enthused Akane. Her father nodded for a reply. A few seconds and a knock was herd at the door. Kasumi got up to answer it. "Why hello are you Ranma." her voice said bleeding into the other room where four people waited. "Oh come in."

Kasumi headed into the room fallowed by a big bald man. Nabiki and Akane gasped. "YOu take him!" said Nabiki. "No you!" said Akane. "I know," said Nabiki. "Kasumi likes older guys." The bald man in question turned and yelled at the door. "Come on boy we don't have all day the boat leaves in three hours to china!" A grunt was herd and a boy in a white Gi walked in with two packs on his back. "Can I sit these down?" he asked Kasumi. "Sure." she replied sitting back at the table.

"Saltome, it is good to see you again old friend." said Tendo hugging his old friend. "Same to you Tendo, but I got these tickets to china and we have to hurry before our boat leaves." Soun nodded and motioned for him to sit down. "Ranma these are my daughters, Kasumi she is 19, Nabiki she is 17 and Akane is turning 16 in a week." he said pointing to the girl in a school jumper.

"Okay." he said sitting down." Soun blinked a few times. "Chose one." Ranma blinked. "Do I have to?" he asked. Genma nodded a pushed his son. "I don't know I just met you all today." he said "If you chose anyone chose Akane is the martial artist of the family." said Nabiki pushing her a bit. "But Nabiki, you trained as well I think you should go." said Kasumi.

"Your only saying that because your worried about Akane like she is a child Kasumi." Ranma looked at the girls known as Akane, she was cute for a girl still with her child features in her face. She didn't look like a marshal artist. "I think Akane could use the training as well." said Soun. "Even if they don't fell that way toward each other , when Ranma returns he can chose another of the girls."

Akane's eyes brighten up. "You mean I am not engaged to him?" she asked. "During the trip yes, but not officially until your return for your safety." she nodded at least that was better.

After packing Akane's cloths in the extra pack Ranma had been caring the family headed off to the dock. After a good twenty minutes of pulling Soun off of Akane who was crying the managed to actually get on the boat on time.

"Hey pop's how did you manage to get money for the boat ride to china, I thought we were going to swim." said Ranma looking at Akane who sat on a barrel on the ship. "Tendo didn't want his daughters to swim across the ocean." he said looking at Akane who was starring at her feet. "What do you think of your fiancée, Ranma?" he asked. The boy shrugged.

"I don't know her that well yet Pop's." he replied walking from the ram on the edge of the boat off somewhere. "I can't swim." said Akane soon as Ranma was out of seeing distance. "None of us can, my father refused to teach use since mother died from her car falling in to the lake and her drowning." Genma nodded and sat across from her. "Don't worry Ranma will warm up to you, he just has too may things on his mind, mostly training." she nodded. " I guess so."

****la la la a few weeks latter while traveling in china***

"Hurry up Akane!" yelled Ranma towards some water springs. "Hold up Baka!" she yelled after the two who jumped up on top of some polls. "Hey ready pops!" said Ranma getting in stance. "Hey you sirs, please get down very dangerous!"

"Dangerous?!?!" said Akane behind the man. "Yes, sirs cursed springs of Josenko! Very bad!" said the guide. "Oh no Ranma! Get down you two it's too dangerous!" yelled Akane from the ground. "Don't worry about us Akane." said Genma in stance. "Ready when you are boy."

The two went at it. "Oh no I got to stop them!" she said she could see patches of land between the springs. "Only if I don't slip in." she muttered to herself.

"Don't fall in cursed springs miss!" yelled the tour guid, soon as he did a splash was herd. Akane looked up to see Ranma still on a poll. "Ranma don't fall in the springs!" she yelled. "Why Akane?" he asked hollering above waiting for his father to pop out of the spring. "Hey pop where are you?" he asked. "Mr. Saltome!" a second pasted by and a giant panda jumped out of the spring. "What the?!!?"

"Oh too bad for you sir, you fall in spring of drowned panda." said the guide." Akane looked up at the guide a couple of yards back. "You mean that's mr. Saltome!!!!" she said turning to see Ranma now falling in a spring. "Ranma no!!!!!!" Akane carefully tried to inch her way across the holes of the springs careful not to fall in. A slash was herd and Ranma came out and turned and saw Akane. "Akane." she muttered. "OH my GOD!" screamed Akane who then lost her balance, and well fell in with a splash.

"Oh too bad for you sir, you landed in spring of drowned red headed girl, very tragic legend. "Akane!!!" Screamed Ranma then noticed his voice was well lower. "Did you say, (opens Gi's tops) GIRL!!!!!" Ranma hopped out of the spring and tip toed to where Akane fell in. "She can't swim!" Screamed Ranma to the tour guide. "Oh no new cursed spring???"
