Everyone always thinks: “Nah, that won’t happen to me.” Well, shit happens. And guess what? Shit happened to cross my path one brisk morning on my way to my favorite comic store. I was just minding my own business, trying to decide if I should by the tenth volume of Ranma ½ or the fifteenth volume of Ruroni Kenshin on my way there when some moron came speeding down the street as I was crossing. It was a big truck so naturally, I died instantly. People wonder what happens when you die. Well for one thing your life doesn’t flash before your eyes and it doesn’t feel like anything, just a kinda numb feeling and then you black out.

Next thing I knew I was in a big white room.
“Your judgment has been placed.” someone stated.
I looked around surprised. “What judgment?”
“The judgment all mortals receive when they die.” the voice repeated.
“So I’m dead then.” I thought out loud. “So am I going to heaven or hell?”
“That is up to you.” the voice answered. “Which do you think you deserve?”
“Don‘t really care.” I shrugged.
“An unusual answer.” The voice commented. “Very well, how do you feel about reincarnation?”
“Can I keep my memories?” I asked.
“You may.” The voice said. “Any preference on what you become?”
“I want to be someone that something interesting would happen to, like a martial artist like Ranma or a swordsman like Kenshin.” I answered.
“Is that all?” The voice asked.
“Yep.” I nodded.
“Very well.” The voice nodded. “Have a nice life.”

Journal Entry 1:
I quickly realized I was reborn as Ranma Saotome, son of Genma and Nodoka Saotome. They quickly realized I was not like others. Everyone thought I something was wrong with me because I didn‘t cry or anything, but it was because I had full memories of my past life and my past self was cold. Anyway, it started getting interesting when “dad” asked me if I wanted to go on a training trip. Remembering something about this had happened in the manga I used to read in my past life, I quickly agreed, both because I knew this would make me a great martial artists and because of genuine interest in martial arts. So I agreed quickly and that’s how this all began.
________________________________________________________________ _____________________
A red haired pigtailed and quite busty teenage girl wearing a red silk shirt, black kung-fu pants and kung-fu shoes and a panda are seen walking down the crowded street calmly in the rain. The panda seemed to want to go faster but was unwilling to rush the girl. The panda, albeit it being odd to see a panda, seemed normal enough but the girl had a cold unweaving gaze that took in everything and when directed at you felt as if she could see into your very soul. They ignored all looks toward them soon arrived at a gated estate and the girl looked questioningly at the panda.
/This is the place, Ranma./ The panda held up a sign and nodded.
Ranma simply pushed the gate open and walked up to the main door. Stopping to pull out a thermos and pour hot water over both of them a odd transformation took place. The short red headed and busty teenage girl turned into a tall masculine black haired teenage boy and the panda turned into a bald middle aged man in a dirty white gi.
“This better not blow up in our faces again, Genma.” The Ranma warned as he slid open the door.
“Don’t worry Ranma.” Genma laughed nervously. “Tendo is an old friend of mine.”
“Hello?” Ranma called into the house.
“Genma my old friend!” A man with long black hair and a black mustache greeted as he walked up to them.
“Soun, it has been far to long.” Genma said as they embraced each other in a warm hug.
“Ooh daddy, is that Ranma?” A girl with shoulder length black hair leaned forward and examined Ranma. “He’s cute.”
“Old man.” Ranma growled. “This better not be what I think this is.”
“Now calm down Ranma.” Genma sweat dropped as Soun led them into the house, where two other girls were waiting.
“Kasumi, Akane.” Soun motioned to the other two girls as they all sat down. “This is Ranma and his father Genma Saotome. Genma is an old friend of mine.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Saotome.” Kasumi chirped happily. She had long black hair and was wearing a blue dress.
“And these are my daughters. Kasumi age nineteen, Nabiki age seventeen.” Soun patted each girl on the head. “And Akane, age sixteen.”
“I think I know what this is about.” Ranma snorted. “You promised to have your children get married.”
“Indeed.” Soun nodded.
“Well, first off.” Ranma pulled a piece of paper from his backpack. “No agreements involving me and made by either of my parents will be honored unless I deem it fit.”
“Nonsense boy.” Genma said as he shredded the paper, only to have Ranma pull copy out of his backpack.
“However.” Ranma continued. “I will stick around for one month. If one of the girls wants me to stay after that then I will.”
“But Ranma……” Soun started.
“This is not up for negotiation!” Ranma interrupted. “Either agree or I leave here and now.”
“Very well.” Soun sighed.
“Interesting.” Nabiki mumbled to herself.
“Now, I understand we will be staying here?” Ranma asked.
“Yes.” Genma and Soun nodded at the same time.
“I do not intend to freeload, I will pay you at the end of the month.” Ranma informed them. “And every month if I end up staying here.”
“You do not need to pay…..” Soun started again.
“Now, which one of you is a martial artist?” Ranma ignored Soun and looked the girls over and settled his cold gaze on Akane, who was wearing a white gi. “Would you like to spar in the Dojo?”
“Fine.” Akane grumbled, apparently not happy about Ranma’s being there. “It’s this way.”
Ranma and Akane went left the room, leaving Soun, Genma, Nabiki and Kasumi there.
“How about a drink old friend?” Soun offered as he pulled a bottle of Sake out of nowhere.
“To the joining of the schools!” Genma agreed as he pulled shot glasses out of nowhere.
“I think I’ll go watch Ranma and Akane spar.” Nabiki said as she got up and headed the same way that they had gone.
“That sounds nice.” Kasumi agreed as she followed Nabiki.
_______________________________________________________________ ______________________
Ranma and Akane stood facing each other. Akane was in a basic stance but Ranma just stood loosely with his hands in his pockets.
“Ready when you are.” Ranma stated coolly.
“Don’t take me lightly!” Akane growled and charged forward, delivering a basic punch.
“Make me,” Ranma smirked as he ducked under the punch and rolled behind Akane and rested his chin on her shoulder. “Take you seriously.”
“Grrrrr.” Akane growled and kicked at him, Ranma just stepped to the side to avoid the strike.
Ranma continued to smirk as he dodged around all of Akane’s attacks with minimal effort, Akane growing more and more irritated.
“Why don’t you swing back?” Akane spat.
“You asked for it.” Ranma shrugged. “Don’t blame me if you get hurt.”
“For real this time!” Akane growled and charged Ranma to deliver a powerful punch.
Ranma ducked and smirked even more as he pulled one hand out of his pocket and caught Akane by the throat and lifted her off the ground.
“I win.” Ranma said simply as he tossed Akane across the room.
“Gak.” Akane coughed as she rubbed at her throat. “That’s not fair.”
“What does “Anything-Goes” mean to you?” Ranma asked. “All’s fair in love and war, and this certainly is not love.”
“You’re a jerk!” Akane growled as she stood up.
“Well, I see your not good enough to spar against.” Ranma shrugged as he turned to walk away. “Looks like I’m stuck with the old man.”
“I’m the best in Nermia!” Akane roared as she punched at the back of Ranma’s head.
“Not any more.” Ranma replied as he quickly ducked behind Akane and delivered a Karate Chop to the back of her neck, knocking her out cold. “Have a nice nap.”
Ranma walked towards the exit and grabbed his shoes, pulling them on as he hopped outside and walked past the surprised Nabiki and Kasumi.
“Was that really necessary?” Nabiki asked coldly as Ranma walked by.
“Don’t care, I’m gonna take a bath though.” Ranma said. “Can one of you show me to the bath?”
“Oh my, I hope Akane is alright.” Kasumi said as she walked over to Akane’s prone form.
“She should wake up in a minute or two.” Ranma said. “And I would rather not have to knock her out again.”
“The bath is this way.” Nabiki motioned for Ranma to follow her.
__________________________________________________________________ ___________________
“Ah.” Ranma sighed as he eased himself into the furo and rested his head on the edge, closing his eyes. “Nothing like a warm bath to relax your muscles.”
Ranma lay there for a good five minutes before the door opened and Akane walked in naked, holding a towl.
“Hello, Akane.” Ranma said, keeping his eyes closed. “I assume Nabiki told you the bath was free, if you could wait a moment, I will get out and you can have it.”
“Uh….sure.” Akane blushed and backed out of the room.
“five, four, three, two, one.” Ranma counted down as he dried himself off and put his clothes on and exited the room. Sure enough a cry of “Pervert” greeted him as he walked into the hall. “Fool.”
Akane slammed downward with the table but Ranma stuck his arm out and caught the table firmly.
“You looked at my body!” Akane screeched as she struggled to push the table downward. “Pervert.”
“My eyes were closed.” Ranma stated as he pulled the table out of Akane’s hands. “Now I suggest you direct your anger at who is really to blame.”
“And who’s that?” Akane growled.
“Nabiki.” Ranma shrugged. “She knew I was in there, yet she told you otherwise.”
“Don’t you dare blame Nabiki…..” Akane started as she reached for the table again.
“You know what?” Ranma asked as he shoved past her. “You aren’t worth my time.”
“Jerk!” Akane growled as she punched at Ranma.
“Moron.” Ranma sighed as he blocked the punch with the table. “Just take your bath and forget this ever happened.”
“But you looked at my body!” Akane growled.
“Again, I had my eyes closed.” Ranma sighed. “Just leave me alone.”
“This is my house!” Akane snorted.
“And I am your guest, you should be ashamed of treating a guest this way.” Ranma smirked as he turned back around and walked away, leaving Akane to think about what he said.
_________________________________________________________________ ____________________
“Soun.” Ranma said as he walked into the room to find Soun and Genma drinking Sake and reminiscing about “the good old days.” “Since we will be staying here there is something you need to know. Gather the girls so we can talk.”
“Ranma, you don’t mean to tell them about that?” Genma asked. “Do you?”
“Of course.” Ranma snorted. “Why wouldn’t I.”
“It’s humiliating.” Genma stated.
“Maybe for you.” Ranma smirked. “Now get the others before I get in the mood for Panda pork chops.”
“R-right.” Genma said nervously as he went off in search of the girls.
________________________________________________________________ _____________________
Everyone was gathered around the table, which Ranma had put back after Akane had tried to bash him with it. Akane looked like she wanted to hit Ranma but didn’t want to be knocked out again, Nabiki looked like she was plotting something, Kasumi looked oblivious, Ranma looked annoyed and Soun and Genma looked drunk.
“What did you want?” Akane growled.
“Ah, yes it was two fateful weeks ago….” Genma began.
-Flashback, Mt. Quanjing, Bayankala Range, Qinghai Province, China-
“Here, sir.” A guide said as he waved towards several springs with bamboo poles sticking out of them. “Is legendary “Training ground of accursed springs.””
‘Accursed springs……’ Ranma thought hard. ’Where have I heard that before?’
“Are you prepared Ranma?” Genma asked.
“This place isn’t so impressive.” Ranma snorted. “I’ve done balance training before.”
“You very strange one, no sir?” The guide asked. “This place very dangerous. Nobody use now. Is more than one hundred spring here, and every one has own tragic legend!”
“Ranma, follow me!” Genma said as he jumped up on one of poles.
“I got a bad feeling about this.” Ranma sighed as he jumped up onto a pole near Genma.
“Ah! Sir!” The guide yelled. “What you doing?”
“I won’t go easy on you.” Genma said as he got in a stance.
“I’d win if you did.” Ranma replied as he got in his own stance.
“Please Sir!” The guide cried as Genma and Ranma charged each other. “Very bad if you fall in spring!”
“Ha!” Genma cried as he kicked at Ranma, who grabbed the kick and used it to leap over Genma and kick him in the back and knocked him into a spring.
“Ha!” Ranma laughed as he looked down into the spring. “What’s up old man? Done already?”
The spring bubbled and a panda jumped out of it.
‘Oh shit! I remember now!” Ranma thought franticly as he tried to get away from the springs.
“That is “spring of drowned Panda.” The guide said as Ranma dodged franticly as he tried to make his way to shore. “There is tragic legend of panda who drowned there two thousand years ago! Now whoever fall in that spring take body of panda!”
Genma-Panda managed to knock Ranma into a spring close to the shore with a right hook.
“Ohhhhh!” The guide groaned. “Not “spring of drowned girl!” There is tragic legend, very tragic, of young girl who drowned in spring one thousand five hundred years ago! Now whoever fall in that spring, take body of young girl!”
“Damn!” Ranma groaned as he opened up his gi to make sure he was turned into a girl.
“You see what I mean?” The guide asked.
“At least I’m still human.” Ranma shrugged as he closed his gi and climbed ashore.
-End Flashback-
“The legendary ground of accursed springs.” Soun said. “It’s true horror has always been shrouded in mystery….”
“Yeah right.” Ranma snorted. “It’s not like we got turned into anything to bad. At least we’re still Humanoid.”
“Ranma has taken the gaining of the curse very well.” Genma added. “He is right though, some of the curses there are truly horrifying!”
“Then you got off lucky.” Soun nodded.
“So how does this “curse” work anyway?” Nabiki asked.
“Well…..” Genma lifted Ranma up and chucked him in the koi pond.
“Damn it old man!” Ranma growled as he came up as a red haired and busty girl. “You didn’t have to through me in the koi pond!”
“You just went too far Mr. Saotome!” Kasumi interrupted.
“Yeah, even for martial arts training.” Nabiki added.
“What ever made you do something so dangerous?” Kasumi asked.
“This.” Genma pulled out a pamphlet and tossed it on the ground.
“it’s a Chinese map and guide book?” Kasumi picked up the book and looked through it.
“Something about training grounds.” Nabiki read.
“No wonder.” Kasumi said. “You can’t read Chinese, can you?”
“Correct!” Genma agreed as Ranma bopped him upside the head.
“That’s for throwing me in that pond!” Ranma growled.
“So when doused with hot water you turn back into a boy?” Soun asked as he poured boiling water on Ranma.
“IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THAT HOT!” Ranma screamed as she turned back into a he and his skin turned red.
“When doused with cold water you turn into a girl.” Soun continued as he poured cold water on Ranma, turning him back into a girl and prepared to pour boiling water on him again.
“Hot not boiling!” Ranma yelled as she knocked it out of Soun’s hand.
“The schools can still be joined!” Soun cheered.
“Only if one of them wants me to stay.” Ranma reminded. “If after one month, no one wants me to stay, then I’m gone.”
“Are you sure?” Soun asked.
“The boy is quite stubborn.” Genma sighed. “It’s best to just let him have his month.
“But Genma….” Soun started.
“It’s okay.” Genma whispered into Soun’s ear. “If no one asks him to stay we can come up with something.”
“You’re right.” Soun agreed.
“What are you plotting?” Ranma growled.
“Nothing boy.” Genma sweat dropped. “Nothing at all.”
“I think you should show Ranma and his father were they are going to sleep.” Soun intervened.
“Of course, father.” Kasumi nodded as she got up and motioned for Genma and Ranma to follow her. “It’s this way.”
And so, the first day of the adventure is over.

“You see what I mean?” The guide asked.
“At least I’m still human.” Ranma shrugged as he closed his gi and climbed ashore.
-End Flashback-
“The legendary ground of accursed springs.” Soun said. “It’s true horror has always been shrouded in mystery….”
“Yeah right.” Ranma snorted. “It’s not like we got turned into anything to bad. At least we’re still Humanoid.”
“Ranma has taken the gaining of the curse very well.” Genma added. “He is right though, some of the curses there are truly horrifying!”
“Then you got off lucky.” Soun nodded.
“So how does this “curse” work anyway?” Nabiki asked.
“Well…..” Genma lifted Ranma up and chucked him in the koi pond.
“Damn it old man!” Ranma growled as he came up as a red haired and busty girl. “You didn’t have to through me in the koi pond!”
“You just went too far Mr. Saotome!” Kasumi interrupted.
“Yeah, even for martial arts training.” Nabiki added.
“What ever made you do something so dangerous?” Kasumi asked.
“This.” Genma pulled out a pamphlet and tossed it on the ground.
“it’s a Chinese map and guide book?” Kasumi picked up the book and looked through it.
“Something about training grounds.” Nabiki read.
“No wonder.” Kasumi said. “You can’t read Chinese, can you?”
“Correct!” Genma agreed as Ranma bopped him upside the head.
“That’s for throwing me in that pond!” Ranma growled.
“So when doused with hot water you turn back into a boy?” Soun asked as he poured boiling water on Ranma.
“IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THAT HOT!” Ranma screamed as she turned back into a he and his skin turned red.
“When doused with cold water you turn into a girl.” Soun continued as he poured cold water on Ranma, turning him back into a girl and prepared to pour boiling water on him again.
“Hot not boiling!” Ranma yelled as she knocked it out of Soun’s hand.
“The schools can still be joined!” Soun cheered.
“Only if one of them wants me to stay.” Ranma reminded. “If after one month, no one wants me to stay, then I’m gone.”
“Are you sure?” Soun asked.
“The boy is quite stubborn.” Genma sighed. “It’s best to just let him have his month.
“But Genma….” Soun started.
“It’s okay.” Genma whispered into Soun’s ear. “If no one asks him to stay we can come up with something.”
“You’re right.” Soun agreed.
“What are you plotting?” Ranma growled.
“Nothing boy.” Genma sweat dropped. “Nothing at all.”
“I think you should show Ranma and his father were they are going to sleep.” Soun intervened.
“Of course, father.” Kasumi nodded as she got up and motioned for Genma and Ranma to follow her. “It’s this way.”
And so, the first day of the adventure is over.
