The characters of Ranma 1/2 Universe is the sole creation of Rumiko Takahashi
and various companies.  I am using them without prior permission from the
creator.  Hopefully I will not be sued.


Well it has been awhile since I last posted a story to the FFML.  Fate and
Destiny is going well.  Hopefully this is story will last more than one
chapter.  I am not sure yet if I should make this a crossover between AMG or
leave it as just a Ranma fanfic.  All c&C are welcome.  I hope this idea has
not yet been used and so far to my knowledge it has not.  

Sincerely
Long

Prelude

Kasumi has been the foundation for the Tendou household since the death 
of Tendou Kimiko, loving wife of Tendou Soun and mother to Tendou 
Kasumi, Nabiki and Akane.  Kasumi had become the mother, the mediator 
and the caretaker of the Tendou family since the early demise of Kimiko.  
Kasumi had in all right given up her childhood to tend for her family.  
She did not ask for much from life and was content with the role that 
was thrust upon her.  It was no surprised to those few who knew about 
god and goddess chosen to grant a single wish to those worthy when  
Kasumi recieved an unexpected visitor.  

Chapter One

It was a quiet and lonely afternno for a certain young lady by the name 
of Tendou Kasumi.  In this case the person in question did not feel 
young at the moment.  She was looking at the kio pond and wondered what 
her life would have been like if only her mother did not die so young.  
She did not mind taking care of the family.  It was just moments like 
this when she wished she had a particular someone to share in the moment 
of tranquility and fill the void within her.  Kasumi rarely had a chance 
to enjoy herself and participate in the many activities which others her 
age seem to enjoy such as dating, sight seeing, strolling in the park, 
movies, or even a hanging out with friends.  Most of her friends have 
all gone to college and the only friend closest to her was 32 years old 
and had 3 children.  This more than anything seems to reinforce the 
image of an old lady.  The boys that she had meet on her few outings 
have been immature and lacked the quilties she expected in a future 
husband.  

Deep in her contemplation of her life, she missed the head of a young 
lady slowly raising from the kio pond.  Kasumi finally notice her when 
that young lady introduced herself as Skuld, a goddess catagory 2 
sencond class limited.  Blinking twice, Kasumi cleared her head and 
greeted her guess with a smile.  

"Hello you don't happened to be Tendou Kasumi would you?"  the young 
lady asked Kasumi.

Kasumi's first though was that this was some kind of game the little 
girl was playing.  Deciding to humor Skuld, Kasumi played along.  "How 
may I help you?" Kasumi asked.

"You were found worthy through your devotion to your family.  I am here 
to grant you one wish.  I tried to reach you but you seem like you were 
never going to use the phone.  Any wish you desire will be granted." 
replied Skuld. 

As the conversation between Kasumi and Skuld continued, Kasumi could not 
help stare politely at the young goddess.  To Kasumi, she was talking to 
one of the most mature young girl she had ever meet.  Trying to please 
Skuld, Kasumi decided to wish for something.  "I can wish for anything 
you say?" Kasumi asked.  When Skuld nodded her head, Kasumi closed her 
eyes and wished.  " I wish to meet someone who is kind-hearted, exciting 
and handsome who I would respect and someday marry." Kasumi wished.  She 
was having a wonderful time, that was until a beam of light shot forth 
from the circular sysmbol upon her forehead.  As the beam intensified, 
Skuld started to float in midair.  Kasumi was all but staring at Skuld 
and thinking to herself that maybe this was not some game after all. 

As the light died down, the young goddess turned toward Kasumi.  
Speaking two words that would change Kasumi's life foreever, "Wish 
granted."  Afterwards the young goddess disappeared back down into the 
kio pond.  

Staring at where Skuld had vanish from, all Kasumi could think of was 
"Oh my!"

Later that day she was even more surprised when her father called all 
three of his daughters to him.  He had annouced that a good friend of 
his would be coming the the Tendou househood soon.  He was bring his son 
in the hopes of uniting both the Tendou and Saetome clan through 
marriage.  

At this, Kasumi could only think back to her wish early this afternoon 
and again was so surprised that the only sound that escaped her lips 
were, "Oh my!"
