Anything in <>'s is a thought.

Authors note-
I do take pride in this fanfic, it has been very fun to write.
But I have decided that my abilities are much better than
when I first started this little story.

I have decided to do a re-write, but not a total re-write.
I will fix some problems, add new stuff in, and make it a
much better fanfic.

So now I bring you...

                                                                           
A Ranma1/2 Fanfic
               
                                                                           
   Lost Memories 
                                                                          
Episode #1- Eclipse  
             


                                                             
[The scene starts with a boy around the age of 15 sitting in his room
watching the news.
His eyes are filled with fear. Suddenly the TV goes out and the ground
beneath him starts 
to shake. He gets up and darts out the door, people all over stand around
staring at the 
sun which is going into a giant eclipse. Fire starts to fill the horizon,
load screams fill the
world around. The boy starts to run as people begin to catch fire and melt
away.]

Boy: Help me!!!

[He falls to the ground as the wave hits him... Time passes...]

Boy: Am.. Am I still alive?

Female: Yes, thanks to me. But you have two choices, Die, or accept a kiss
from me.

Boy: Sure. 

[The dark figure bends down to kiss him... Credits start to roll across the
screen and the
screen freezes. A song starts to play. (not the Lost memories composed by
me.) The screen 
fades out. When it fades back in we see Akane chasing Ranma.]

Akane: Ranma!! Get back here right now!

Ranma: No way Akane! I said I'm not gunna eat your dumb rice cake!

Akane: I worked hard on it, and your gunna eat it!

[It is early Sunday, the tendo's are eating, and as usual something is
going on between Ranma
and Akane. 

Akane finally catches up to Ranma.]

Akane: Got you now!

[Akane corners Ranma, shoving the rice cake to his face. Ranma cowers 
like a small puppy.]

Akane: Just try it Ranma, Kasume helped you know, so it cant be that bad!

[Ranma stands up and looks at Akane. She is wearing her everyday yellow
dress.
Ranma takes a deep breath.]

Ranma: Ok Akane, I guess I have to do this like a man. <even though I would
rather 
not.>

[He looks at the rice cake, it looks normal. He then pokes it and waits
to see if it will poke back, it doesn't.]                                  
  

Ranma: Hmmm... well looks ok I guess...

Akane: Just eat it Ranma!!

[Akane seems to be getting angry]

Ranma: Ok, ok!

[He takes the small white substance from Akane, he looks at it then at her.
Akane gives Ranma the evil eye, then he puts it close to his mouth, slowly 
he opens up and gets ready for the worse, he sinks in and...]

Ranma: It's good! And, I'm alive!

[Akane gets a small smile but hides it from Ranma who engulfs the rest of 
the rice cake.]

Akane: See, all that acting like a baby for nothing.

[Ranma jumps up quickly, he has a huge smile]

Akane: Wha?

Ranma: You finally did it! You made something non-toxic!

[Akane gets angry.]

Akane: What is that suppose to me Ranma?!
Ranma: What? I am just happy for you that's all..

Akane: Well don't be!

[She marches away.]

Ryoga: Why must you always do that Ranma?

[Ranma looks up at Ryoga, he is dressed like he is always dressed, but 
his backpack and umbrella are no were to be seen.]

Ranma: What? What did I do? And where did you come from? 

Ryoga: You always have to hurt Akane don't you?

Ranma: Would you eat her cooking?

Ryoga: You liked it didn't you?

Ranma: Well yea but..

Ryoga: But nothing, I think you need to be taught a lesson in manners.

[Ryoga gets into a fighting stance]

Ranma: Oh yea? (he smiles) And i take it a "PIG" is gunna teach them 
to me?

Ryoga: Damn you Ranma!

[Ryoga charges Ranma at an alarming rate, Ranma barely dodges and delivers
a blow to the back of Ryoga's head.]

Ranma: I'm still waiting for my lesson.

Ryoga: AHH!!

[Once again he charges Ranma, this time catching him in the stomach, 
Ranma goes down for a sec, but then gets right back up and dishes out 
some attacks of his own... From behind a tree, a tall woman dressed in
a very tight black vest and mini skirt watches the two of them.

A few moments pass...]

Ranma: looks like I taught YOU the lesson.

[Ryoga is laying on his face in the dirt, unconscious.]

[The woman walks out to Ranma. He notices her and is startled by 
her beauty.]

Woman: I am Zelsai, you are a very good fighter.

Ranma: n..ni..

[Ranma notices he is studdering then snaps himself back into reality.]

Ranma: nice to meet you, I'm Ranma.

[He looks into her deep green eyes, her purplish hair flows freely in 
the wind.]

Zelsai: Ranma... nice name. I'll make a deal with you. Are you tired of
that girl always getting mad at you?

Ranma: Uh, I guess..

Zelsai: And aren't you tired of all these people always wanting to fight
with you?

[Ranma thinks about it for a minute.]

Ranma: What are you getting at?

[Zelsai takes his hand and gets face to face with him.]

Zelsai: I can promise you a better life than this, all it will take is for
you to make 
love to me.

[Ranma facefaults.]

Ranma: What?!? 

[Akane see's Ranma and this woman in the distance. Akane marches up to
her.]

Akane: Who do you think you are? 

[Zelsai notice's the angry Akane.]

Zelsai: I see he is spoken for, no matter, I will have him soon enough.

[At that she turns and walks away.]

Ranma: wow.

Akane: What are you staring at you pig headed fool? And what is Ryoga
doing in the dirt?

<We see a boy siting at school reading a Ranma1/2 comic. He isn't paying
much attention 
to the teacher, when suddenly and hand reaches over and taps him on the
shoulder. The 
screen scrolls up the arm of the finger that taped him to reveal....
Ranma!>

Ranma: Come on Bobby! This class is boring lets ditch!

Bobby: I can't Ranma!

<The teacher looks down to Bobby.>

Teacher: Who are you talking to?

<Bobby looks frantic as he remembers that only he can see Ranma.>

Bobby: Umm.. Ranma...

<The entire class laughs at him.>

Voice over: What would you do if your favorite anime character came to
life, but 
only you could see him? A great tale about a boy and his greatest dream
coming true!
Is Ranma really from some other dimension? Or is the 16 year old Bobby
crazy?
Find out this summer, when the tale comes to life!

<The screen goes to black  and a red light spells out -Ranma1/2 Dream's
Come True-

[We cut to Cologne's restaurant. The Nekohentai or whatever. Ranma, his
dad, Cologne,
Soun, Nabiki, and Akane are sitting around a small table.]

Cologne: Zelsai? This is not good..

Akane: What? Tell us about this Zelsai!

Cologne: I thought she was only a myth. 

Ranma: This doesn't sound so good...

Cologne: No it is not son-in-law, Zelsai is more or less a demon. according
to legend 
She will make you accept an offer in exchange for your soul in slaveship.

Ranma: She wanted to make love to me!

Nabiki: She sounds like a smart woman to me.

Akane: Shut up Nabiki!

Genma: Why does she need there souls? 

Cologne: She puts all of her power into them and they become her slave. But
when she
is finished with them, she takes the soul and becomes twice as powerful as
before. 

Ranma: No problem, I will just tell her to look elsewhere.

Cologne: I'm afraid its not that easy, once she has chosen someone, she
will either have 
them or kill them.

[Ranma's mouth drops wide open, and he slams his head into the table and
starts to cry.]

Akane: So either way he is a dead man?

Cologne: Yes... Ranma, You must marry Shampoo now! Before it is to late!

[Just then Shampoo burst's through the wall.]

Akane: Speaking of the bimbo..

Shampoo: Slut no take Ranma from Shampoo!

Ranma: I don't wanna die!

Akane: Oh quit your whining!

Ranma: Quit?!? Quit!?! Your not the one who is gunna die!

Nabiki: At least you'll go out happy.

Ranma thinks for a minute.

Ranma: well you got a point there... What am i thinking?!?!

Cologne: She will most likely not kill you right away, she will try to
seduce you first. if she totally fails then she'll get angry.

Ranma: And once she's angry she'll kill me right?

Cologne: As far as I know...

[Suddenly the boy we saw before burst's in through the door. We now get a
better
look at him. He stands about 5'7 and is very pale looking. For clothes he
has on a pair
of Jean's far to baggy for his own good and a black T-shirt with a red V on
the front.]

Boy: I may be able to help..

Ranma: Who are you? How can you help? 

Boy: My name is Kain, somehow I have escaped from her...

[He begins to get very light headed and starts to lose his balance]

Kain: I mus.....

[He falls to the ground]

Soun: Are you ok?

Nabiki: Of course not daddy. He is dead.

Genma: No, he is still breathing. 

Soun: Lets take him home.

***

[Kain look's into the sky, it is beauty like he's never seen, the clouds
glimmer in the
light of the sun. Birds can be heard singing a soft song. Then he see's the
eclipse,
the sky darkens, the ground begins to shake, the birds die out...]

Kain: NOOOO!!!!!

[Kain shoots up from the futon he is laid out on, he has much more color to
him now. 
He grabs his head and looks around.]

Kain: Where...where am I?

[Akane comes into the room followed by Ranma and Genma.]

Akane: Are you alright?

[Kain looks frightened.]

Ranma: What is the matter?

Kain: It's the eclipse! 

Genma: The what?

Kain: I don't know.. I keep seeing an eclipse..

[Genma whispers to his son.]

Genma to Ranma: I think this boy has a couple screws loose.

Akane: What do you mean Kain? What eclipse?

[Kain looks at Akane and Ranma with a wild stare.]

Kain: I..I..

[Ranma and Genma begin to leave the room.]

Kain: No, wait! 

[Ranma turns around and looks at Kain, Genma keeps going.]

Ranma: What?

Kain: I know you, somehow, I know you...

Akane: How does he know you Ranma?

[Ranma raises an eyebrow, looks at Kain, then Akane.]

Ranma: Yea, how do you know me?

[He turns back to Kain.]

Ranma: And how can you help me?

[Soun comes bursting into the room.]

Soun: If you can help my daughter's future husband, I'll let you stay here
for as long as you like!
Just please don't let that demon get him!

[Kain looks at Soun, then at Ranma and Akane.]

Kain: I don't exactly know how... but she had some sort of power over me.
She has brain washed
me and I can't remember anything much...

Ranma: How did you escape?

Kain: Some voice helped me..

Ranma: A voice?

Kain: Ranma is it?

Ranma: Yes, and this is Akane, and her father Soun.

[Kain look's down to the ground.]

Kain: I don't remember where I'm from, or who I really am... A couple
things are stuck in my mind
though.. That eclipse, My name, and you Ranma.. It is as confusing for me
as is you, believe me.
 
Ranma: What do you remember about me?

[Kain puts his hand to his head, he looks confused.]

Kain: I don't remember anything... Just you.

Akane: This is too weird, I'm gunna head back to my room, good night.

[Akane leaves the room. Soun say's his good night and follows Akane out.]

Ranma and Kain stare at each other.

Ranma: Do you know how old you are?

Kain: I believe I am 15...

[Kain seems to be getting kind of dizzy again.]

Kain: I am getting rather tired.

Ranma: Right. See you tomorrow.

[Ranma leaves. Kain lays back down and puts his hands on his head.]

Kain: Please let me remember... Please!

<The screen fades to black slowly as Kain lays still in bed trying to
gather his thoughts.
The end credits roll and The same song that was in the beginning starts up
but without words.>
