Not Quite Star-Crossed : The Tale of Ukyou and Ranma
A Ranma 1 / 2 and Romeo and Juliet Crossover
All characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi and some others that I don't know of.
This story copyright by Adrian Wong, 1997.
All C&C (not flames) will be DESPERATELY NEEDED :)
C A S T:
Clan Saotome includes:
Nodoka and Genma - Nodoka is a little bit harsher yet more modern at the same time, and
Genma is a lecher as well as the scum that he is in the manga. They live in a much bigger house
with a luxurious dojo since they are rich.
Ranma - Have never been away from home since Genma couldn't con him (and the family
fortune) away from Nodoka. A lot more sensitive and less bullish than the original Ranma. A
student at some all-boys school in Nerima.
Kodachi - Ranma's cousin. A vicious girl who hates the Kuonjis with a passion. A student at
Furinkan High.
Tofu - A servant of the family who has practically watched Ranma grew up.
Clan Kuonji includes:
Mr. and Mrs. Kuonji - Concerned parents. Loves Ukyou very much. Indicated to be rich as
well.
Ukyou - Still quite boyish, but doesn't cross-dress since she hadn't been through what the
manga Ukyou had been through. Had recently been dumped by a handsome boy called Konatsu
and was feeling moody and depressed. A student at Furinkan High.
Kurumi - Ukyou's cousin, very much like the OVA Kurumi but not quite as strong. Also, she is
more interested in boys than food. A student at Furinkan High.
Others:
Shampoo - Ukyou's best friend, a flirtatious Amazon fighter as in the manga.
Sister Hinako - The one who Ukyou always turns to for advice.
Akane Tendo - Engaged to Ranma by their clans. Very much like the manga Akane. A student
at Furinkan High.
Soun Tendo - Akane's father who pushed her to marry Ranma.
Tatewaki - Narrator at the beginning and the end. A student at Furinkan High.
Principal - The principal of Furinkan High.

P A R T 3
[The scene opens in the clowded "night market" of Plaza Street, at which various fastfood-stands, game-stands, and many others set up in front of the regular stores lights up this beautiful,
warm evening. People are everywhere, laughing and rejoicing together for the coming of spring.
Among the happy crowd stands Ukyou, now dressed in as an ancient Greek warrior girl. A pearl
white, mini-skirt style Greek dress shows off her slender build and long legs. Around her right
upper leg is a bandoleer of gold-coloured spatulas, matching the gold bracelet circling her left
arm, and the large, gold-coloured spatula strapped to her back. Her face is, as usual, devoid of
makeup, showing a natural, casual beauty that few can rival. She lets her long hair flows down
her back, but with the hair at the sides under her wavy bangs braided into two long pigtails, both
of which she pins together into a bun at the back of her head. Her eyes are wistful and sad as she
stares at the happy young couples on the crowed street.]
KA-BOOM!
[Ukyou looks up to the sky and sees beautiful fountains of bright light spraying all over the dark
night at the direction of the Saotome Dojo.]
[Kurumi, looking cute with a pair of extra large sunglasses and a pink, a mini-skirt style kimino,
skips up to beside Ukyou with K-girl 1 and 2, both of which in domanatrix outfits.]
Kurumi [gushing with excitement]: Oh, I just can't wait to go and meet all those cute guys at the
party!
K-girl 2: Where is that Shampoo? We couldn't possibly get in without her giving us the
invitations-
[Just then, a loud blast of music interrupted her as a black Porshe stops right in front of the girls.
Coming out of the open-roof car was a sensuously looking girl with her extremely long, dye-blond hair braided up in a high ponytail that's uncharacteristic of her. Howsever, her trademark
twin buns, together with the two braided strands of hair beside her temples makes her
immediately recognizable at a second glance. Her body was clad in a black mini-skirt, with
golden cones as her breast plates, further exaggerating her assets. The Kuonji girls are all in
awe as the girl dances her way toward them as she sing along together with the song that's
coming from the Porsche's radio. The bystanders around her are all clapping at her act.]
Shampoo [dancing playfully]: Don't go for second-best, babie,
Put your love to the test!
You know you know you got to,
Make him expresses how he feels,
And maybe then you'll know your love is real!
[She hands out the invitations to the laughing girls as she continues to dance. Even Ukyou can't
keep herself from blowing up at the sight of Shampoo.]
K-Girl1[roaring with laughter as she takes the invitations]: Holy, MADONNA!
Shampoo [looking seductive at Ukyou as she reaches a hand between her legs into her mini-skirt] : Express yourself!
[abruptly whips out an invitation from under her skirt, which she shoves into Ukyou's laughing face, and continues to dance and sing flirtatiously to her best friend.]
So you can RESPECT yourself!
Hey! Hey!
So if you want it right now,
Let me show you how!
Express what he's got,
[Glomps onto Ukyou and sings in her face.]
Be he ready or not!
Ukyou[laughing as she takes the invitation and pushes the giggling Shampoo off her]: You're
IMPOSSIBLE!!
Shampoo[stops singing and speaks with a playful smile]: Aiya! Shampoo actually gets Ukyou
laughing! That good sign! Now we go party and meet cute boys!
Ukyou [immediately hesistant]: No, no, believe me, not I. You girls have flashy costumes and
flirtatious hearts. I have a heart of lead.
Shampoo [blinking with mock innocence]: Why Ukyou have heavy heart over past love when
can find new love at party tonight?
Ukyou [looks exasperated]: Don't you understand, Shampoo? Love is not something that can be
pick up so lightly. It is too rough, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorns!
Shampoo [matter of factly] : If love be rough to Ukyou, Ukyou be rough to love! Smack pricky
love with big spatula and Ukyou beat love down without getting pricked! Now we go
RUMBLE!!
[ With that, the giggling Shampoo and the other girls starts dragging Ukyou into the Porsche, but
Ukyou stops them.]
Ukyou: HOLD IT! I can't!
Shampoo: Now what the matter?
Ukyou: I had a dream last night.
Shampoo: So? Shampoo has dream every night! What point?
Ukyou: It was an . . . unlucky dream.
Shampoo [waving her hand dismissively]: Dream is just dream.
Ukyou [looking serious]: It is in dreams like the one I had that true omens can be revealed.
Shampoo [looking bored]: Ukyou just superstitious. Hiba-chan knows many real magic, can cast
powerful spells, but even she said dreams no more than idle thoughts.
Ukyou : But that dream looks too real! It's almost . . . creepy.
Kurumi [cutting in with impatience and barely concealed anxiety]: C'mon! If you two keep on
wasting time here, the cute guys will all be taken and we shall go too late!
Ukyou [as she stares up into the stars, remembering about the dream]: I fear too early, for my
mind has caught . . . glimpses of some . . . vague misfortunes yet unknown, which might bitterly
begin with the arrival . . . of this night's events.
KA-BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Just then, a particularly strong shot of firework is shot out from the Saotome Dojo, and scarlet
sparks showers down the dark sky, stainning it with an errie redness. A mysterious, sensual
music can be heard as the scene changes to show the girls making their way through the traffic
on the Porsche. The Kuonji girls [minus Ukyou, who is driving] are all raising their fists up and
down in excitement. Standing up from her seat, Shampoo is swaying her arms around in fluid,
dance-like motions as she twists her tiny waist according the flow of the music: an alluring
apparition that has caused at least 7 collisions as they drive through the busy flow of traffic.]
[Cuts to the party at the Saotome Dojo. Exotic music echoes in the large, dimly lid hall, where
everybody was dancing SO close together with everybody else that it resembles a group orgy.
Shampoo and the Kunojis (now wearing party masks) strides into the scene as the music speeds
up. Feeling slightly disoriented under the suffocating atmostphere and intense heat, Ukyou looks
around, and sees K-Girl 1 and 2 whipping some shirtless, muscular boys in dark-leather pants.
Kurumi was gleefully hanging all over a rugged looking teen as the later looks slightly
embarrassed.]
Kurumi [while hugging his arm]: Oh, Ryuu. I'm so happy to see you here!
Ryuu: Well, the feeling is-
Kurumi [cutting him off]: You BET it's mutual! You're always so busy teaching in the Kumon
Dojo that I thought I could never get the chance to catch you while you're free. [She leans even
closer toward him] And now that I do catch you here . . . we're going to have some REAL fun!
Kumon Ryuu: Oh, boy . . .
[Kodachi, now in a peculiar night glown that resembles a blossoming black rose, was laughing
with abandonment as she tangos with a very lifelike giant panda. It's face is buried between her
breasts, with a paw gropping her rear as the other paw holds up a sigh that saids "OI~!!!" Ukyou
looks disgusted at seeing that.]
Ukyou: What a slu-
[She is immediately cut off by several loud blasts of music that brings a shock to almost
everyone in the dojo. Spotlights are casted onto a large bed on the front stage of the dojo, on
which Shampoo was kneeing with her legs spread as she carrasses the sides of her thighs
according to the rhythm of the music.]
Shampoo: Like a virgin,
Touched for the very first time.
Like a vir~gin,
When your heart beats,
Next to mi~ne~
Woa~wo~wo~
Woa~wo~wo~
Woa~wo~wo~
[The crowd cheers loudly at the act whereas Ukyou looks slightly scandalized. She turns around,
and runs into Nodoka, who is dressed up as a traditional female Japanese entertainer/prostitute.
She is accompanies by a handsome, if arrogant looking teen.]
Nodoka [smiling close-eyedly with a flush that shows through layers of white makeup]: Oh! It
has been too long since I've tell a whispering tale in a gallant youth's ears such as with Mikado-chan!
Shampoo: Like a virgin,
Ou~ou,
[Biting the boy's earlope slightly, Nodoka leads him off to a darker corner of the dojo as Ukyou
stares after them in awe.]
Shampoo: Like a virgin,
Feels so good inside,
[Cuts to the K-Girls whipping their "boy-toys".]
Shampoo: When you hold me,
[Cuts to Kurumi kissing Kumon Ryuu with the vigour of a hungry child.]
Shampoo: When you hug me,
[Cuts to Kodachi and Genma-Panda embracing in a French kiss.]
Shampoo: When you love me!
[With that, she begins to twist like a serpent on the bed as the crowd cheers her on with r-rated
comments. Cuts to Ukyou looking sick as she breathes out a tortured sigh. She quickly pushes
her way through the crowd and exits the dojo into the backyard. Outside, she flings off her
mask and wipes the sweat off her brows with the back of her arm.]
Ukyou [panting a bit]: God, that was awful . . .
[A gentle night breeze blows by, washing away the heat and refreshing her mind. Looking
around, Ukyou is startled by the elegance of the backyard. It is a traditional looking yard,
delicately illuminated by a series of lanterns hanging down from the trees that are planted
everywhere. Sakuras in their full bloom gives a sweet scent as well as a gentle shower of pink
petals to the yard, making it look a hint illusory. But the real focus of the yard is swimming-pool-sized koi-pond, which is flanked by a series of shrubs around it's corner. A waterfall is
pouring down into it from another smaller pond at a corner of the yard. There are spotlights
from under the water, which gives a glow to the kois, as well as some other freshwater fish
under the crystal-clear water. Enchanted by the beautiful sight, Ukyou walks up to the pond.
As she knee down beside a shrub to to study the various types of fish, a particularly large koi
swims up to her. Smiling at how cute it looks, Ukyou reaches out a hand to touch it . . . only to
touch another hand instead.]
Ukyou [standing up as her hand shot back from the shock of the contact]: What-
[Her sentence is immediately cut off as she takes in the features of Ranma, now standing up
from the shrub previously hiding him. Wearing a white Greek warrior's wardrobe, with his hair
braided up into a pigtail, the young man looks as handsome as Nacissicus from the legend. He
looks a little startled at first, but then relaxes himself and smiles.]
Ranma [smiling bashfully]: Sorry, I really didn't know that anybody else was here.
Ukyou [still in a trance as she stared at him]: It's quite alright . . .
Ranma: I errr . . . I don't mean to be rude, but shouldn't a cute girl like yourself be having fun at
the party?
Ukyou: You . . . you really think that I am cute?
Ranma: Yeah, was I . . . being rude?
Ukyou [shaking her head slowly]: Uh-uh . . . it's just that nobody has ever said that to me.
Ranma [disbelievingly]: Really? They must all have been blind.
Ukyou [with a blush as she turns her head away]: Well . . . err . . . you . . . you don't look bad
yourself.
Ranma [this time it is he who blushes]: Heh . . . I would like to THINK that I don't . . .
[The two peek bashfully at each other, then burst out laughing. The two then look at the other
with smiles on their faces as their laughter subsided. Just when Ukyou is about to speak up
again, Tofu rushes up to Ranma, effectively cutting her off.]
Tofu: Young Sir! They've arrived!
[With that, he starts dragging the boy away. Ranma flashes a smile to Ukyou before he is
dragged back into the dojo. Ukyou quickly follows him. Inside, a graceful looking girl with a
banquet of white lilies on her back is singing a love song on the stage as everybody behaves with
more modesty than before.]
Asuka: Oh, dream maker,
You heart breaker,
Wherever you're going,
I'm going your way~
[As the now unmasked Ukyou unknowingly rushes by her, Kodachi's eyes quadruples.]
Kodachi: That lowly Kuonji wretch . . . HOW DARE SHE COMES HERE TO SCORN AT US!
In the name of the Black Rose, I SHALL punish her!
[With that, she takes out her ribbon and goes after Ukyou. She is intercepted by Nodoka.]
Nodoka [blocking her]: Calm down, dear. What's the matter?
Kodachi: Auntie! That Kuonji wretch-
Nodoka: Now, now, it isn't appropriate for young ladies to talk like this. Besides, this Kuonji
Ukyou appears to be a well behaved student at school. She won't cause us any trouble. So why
don't you leave her alone?
Kodachi: But she's our enemy-
[Kodachi stops at the hardening of Nodoka's expression, and sighed in resignation as she glares
daggers at Ukyou, who is in turn chasing after Ranma. Ranma is playfully making faces back at
her, all the while being dragged away by an unstoppable Tofu. Finally, Tofu stops in front of
Soun and Akane, who was dressed in a traditional kimono that makes her look a lot more
delicate and feminine than usual.]
Soun [gathering the surprised Ranma in a bear-hug and starts crying]: Oh! What a spectacularly
stunning young man you are! Akane, just look at him! Isn't he quite a specimen?
Akane [looking uninterested]: Yeah, sure . . .
Ranma [in a strangled voice]: Wha . . .what the heck?!
Soun [releases Ranma and shoves him in front of Akane]: Now, would you like to ask my
daughter to dance?
Ranma [turns to Ukyou, who is standing some distance away]: Well, I'm actually thinking about
asking-
[Genma-panda rushes up and pushes Ranma into the startled Akane.]
Genma-panda: Growf! [Stop being shy and go for it, boy!]
Ranma [looking pissed as he turns back to his father]: What has this got to do with being shy?! I
just-
Akane [looking resigned as she takes Ranma's hand]: C'mon, you baka, let just get this over
with.
[With that, she drags Ranma onto the dance floor and dances with him, totally oblivious to his
reluctence. He turns apologically to Ukyou, who smiles back with a casual but understanding
expression.]
Asuka: To drifer
Off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world to see~
Akane [closing her eyes in disdain]: Now, don't get any funny ideas about this. I'm only doing
just to get my father off my back. I am absolutley not interested in you, and if you actually
thinks that there's a chance that I will be, you're wrong. Boys are last thing on earth that I can
possibily want right now . . .
[As Akane rants on, Ranma is smiling gratefully back at Ukyou. He points to Akane, then twirl
a finger around his temple and shakes his head with a mischievious expression. Ukyou
responded by clutching her stomach to keep herself from laughing out loud. In fact, the two of
them are "communicating" all this time with such openess that hasAkane not been closing her
eyes with disdain, she will most certainly notice this. Soun and Genma-panda, on the other hand,
are totally oblivious to this. ]
Soun [with tears in his eyes] : Oh, Saotome-kun! Can't you just . . . FEEL the chemistry between
our children?
Genma-Panda: Growf! [Beautiful, isn't it, Tendo-kun?]
Asuka: We're after that same rainbrow and
Wait around the bank,
My Huckleberryfinn,
Moon River, and me~
Ukyou [smilingng lovingly as her laughing subsided]: Never before has my heart love till now,
for I have never seen a true bishonen till this night.
Akane [opening her eyes]: And don't even think that something like an arranged engagement can
actually bind me to you, cause it can't.
[As Akane's eyes snaps open, Ranma immediately stops his gesturing and smiles falsly to her.
Akanes looks a bit suspicious, but then the music ends and the fathers rush up to them.]
Soun [sobbing]: Oh! My baby! To see you getting on so well together with your fiancee, if only
your mother can see this . . . WAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
[He brawls with abandonment as the panda clapped it's paw onto his shoulder in a gesture of
comfort. All the others are staring at them curiously.]
Akane [looking embarrassed as she hiss to her father]: Dad! People are watching!
[Ranma, not knowing what to do, simply stands there and watch curiously like the rest of the
party goers. Suddenly, a hand catches his wrist and drags him to behind a thick pillar away from
the Tendos and Panda. Ranma sees that it is Ukyou and smiles.]
Ranma: Sorry about the interruption. Shall we . . . errr . . . pick up where we left off?
Ukyou: You bet we shall! [She leans forward and whispers in his ear with a faint blush on her
face.] Nobody can call me cute and just get away with it.
Ranma [turning slightly seductive as he stares into her eyes]: Really, what happens to one who
calls you cute?
Ukyou [looking mischievious despite her blushing]: He'll be chased after by me day after day,
until the day when he finally seals his love for me with a marriage certificate.
Ranma [with mock innocence on his face]: But I though you said that nobody had called you
cute before.
Ukyou [nesting her blushing face on his shoulder as she whispers]: Somebody just had.
Ranma [smiling seductively as he leans down to try and kiss her]: Alas! Woe is me then.
[Before his lips makes contact, however, he sees Genma-panda dragging an annoyed looking
Akane as it yield a sigh that reads "Ranma, my boy! Where are you?!" Immediatley, he drags
the startledUkyou through the crowd to behind a huge bush of exotic plants placed decoratively
at a corner of the dojo. He peeks through the shrubs to see if his father is coming this way.]
Genma-panda [still yielding the sigh as it slids a paw around Akane's waist]: Ranma!! Where
are you-ACKKKK!!!!!
Akane [as she flattens the panda man with an interdimesional mallet]: Keep your paws off me,
you disgusting old lecher!
Soun: Wahhh!!!! How can my daughter be so disrespectful to her father-in law?!
[Seeing that his father is out of commission, Ranma immediately turns around and gives Ukyou
a passionate kiss.]
Ranma [smiling with a flushed face as he breaks off the kiss]: Now by this kiss my fate is sealed.
Ukyou [smiling with a flushed face as she recovers her breath]: Hey, then isn't MY fate being
sealed as well?
Ranma [his smile turning seductive as his lips touched hers again]: You asked for it.
[The two kisses passionately once more as they glue their bodies together and put the world
behind them. Suddenly, a pair of hands push the bush aside, and Ranma becomes face to face
to a very pale Tofu.]
Tofu [breaths out in shock as he sees the girl in Ranma's arms]: Deity . . .
