All the characters of the Ranma ½ universe belong to Rumiko Takahashi 
(I'm not sure about Sasuke) and a bunch of other people that I have 
never meet or seen.  Please excuse my humble self for slandering your 
immortal characters.

	Ranma-babies
		By
	John Trombley

	It was a typical day in Nerima.  Typical that is that every one 
seemed to mad at everyone else.  Either it was Akane mad at Ranma for 
being unfaithful.  Ryouga mad at Ranma for just being Ranma, or some 
such nonsense.   So there they were, some of  the most powerful Martial 
Artists in the World;  Ranma, Ryouga, Mousse, Shampoo, Kuno, and Akane 
Tendo.  Why did the fight get started? Nobody really knows, but then 
again did they ever have really needed a good reason to fight?  It 
seemed like every other fight in the Nerima district with Kuno, Mousse, 
and Ryouga after Ranma.  Where as Shampoo and Akane Tendo were going at 
it, bickering over who was Ranma's true betrothed.   Actually you really 
couldn't see who was fighting who, for the dust was flying and it was 
hard to make anybody out.  
	This continued for a while moving gradually through the 
neighborhood, causing property damage on a large scale.  We see an old 
woman walking down the street holding something in her hands.  She kept 
muttering to herself,  "I'm going to be young again." she kept on saying 
this over and over to herself.
	Just as she was passing by a china shop the unruly group smashed 
into her, causing her to drop and break the object she had in her hands 
on the ground.  The group of martial artists didn't even slow down as 
the enter the china shop.  Where there once was an old woman, there is 
now a dignified lady in her prime.  Peering at her reflection in the 
remaining window of the shop, she smiles broadly and goes running down 
the street laughing happily.

	In the china shop the dust was still going nonstop, when 
suddenly the sprinkler alarm goes off.  Instantly the fighting stops and 
the shopkeeper is shocked to see a little boy, two little girls, a 
kitten, a baby pig, and a little duckling had made such a mess out of 
his store.  When he finally regains his senses he then noticed the 
damage done to his shop and goes up to them. 
	"You three. Who are you, where are your parents?"  At the 
hostile tone of voice that he was using, all the children started crying 
very loudly, soon the animals join in.  The shopkeeper looked around in 
shock and fear at this, thinking what their parents would do to him if 
they thought that he had hurt their children.
	"Alright, alright there's no need for that."  He tried to calm 
them down.  How he hated children.  They would make someone want to go 
out and have a vasectomy.  
	Just then a police officer came to check on what all the noise 
was. [Yes, there are police in Nerima, they just aren't stupid enough to 
get caught in the middle of the constant battles being fought there.]  
	"O.K. who's making all this noise?"  He grumped. Upon seeing the 
children in the store, his grim face suddenly softened.  Squatting down 
next to the little boy he asks in what he hopes is a comforting manor.  
"Alright, it's OK little guy what seems to be the problem?"  Seeing the 
uniformed officer the boy drew up, squaring his shoulders and then 
pointed at the shopkeeper.
	"That man yelled at us for playing.  He got us all wet too."  
The little boy pouted.
	"Oh he did, did he?  Well I'm sure he didn't mean it, did you 
Sir?"  This was directed at the shopkeeper, who was waving his hands in 
the air, a frantic look on his face.  
	"Uh no, no, I didn't.  You just surprised me that's all."  A 
forced grin plastered on his face.  Hopefully the officer would get the 
names of the children so that he could get their parents to pay for this 
damage.
	"See?  It was all a miss understanding.  There's no need to 
cry."  The officer asked as he put a hand on the little boy in front of 
him.   At this time the shopkeeper accidently dropped his tea on to the 
animals.  To his surprise there were three more children in the store. 
*How did they get in here?* That thought was cut off as he noticed their 
appearance, all three of them were naked.  The only clothing that was 
apparent on them was that one little boy had a yellow and black spotted 
bandana around his head, the other boy had big coke bottle glasses, and 
all the girl had on was beads in her hair.  The officer after noticing 
the state of the children, looked up at the Shopkeeper in shock and 
rage.
	The Shopkeeper in the back of a patrol car speeding down the 
road.  His face plastered to the window while yelling, "I didn't do 
anything!  I don't even know those children!"
	
	The Tendo Dojo:  Kasumi was fixing dinner when there was a knock 
on the front door. 
	"Oh, we have visitors."  She exclaimed merrily.  She had a good 
feeling about today.  With that she went to see who it was.  Upon 
opening the door she was tackled by two little blurs of motion who 
became fixed onto her legs.  Looking down she saw  two little girls one 
with red hair in a pig-tail, the other with short black hair wearing a 
yellow dress.  Both of them laughing, happy to be home.
	"Hello Onnechan!!" the one in the yellow dress piped up.
	"Hi big-sister Kasumi" the little pigtail girl also had a huge 
smile on her face.
	"A-Akane? Ranma? Oh My."  Was all Kasumi could say before she 
noticed another visitor who refrained from jumping her, hanging in the 
back ground, to shy to come forward.  It was a little boy with a bandana 
on his head.  "Oh hello Ryouga! Please come in."  The boy smiled shyly 
as he went into the house.

	The Cat Cafe: Cologne was taking orders when she noticed a 
little girl lead a boy  who seemed to be bumping into things entered the 
restaurant.  For the first time that any one could ever remember, 
Cologne fell over.  Seeing this, little Shampoo and little Mousse rushed 
to help her up.
	"Great-grandmother is alright?" little Shampoo asked worried 
about her old grandmother.
	"Yes, are you alright?"  Little Mousse ask to Cologne's staff 
that was lying next to her.
	Instantly regaining her composure she quickly assessed the 
situation.  "Hmm.  Shampoo what has happened, yourself and Mousse seemed 
to have gotten younger." The regulars at the restaurant face faulted at 
this casual remark. 
	Shampoo just looked at her in shock. Then she turned to look 
over at Mousse who was trying to have a conversation with a plant, 
before turning back to look at her grandmother.  Her face contorted in a 
look of concern for her aging Great-grandmother.  She must truly be 
getting on up in the head.  "No we not Great-grandmother.  Shampoo the 
same as when Shampoo and Mousse went and played with Ranma."  
	"Hmm. Is that so?"  Then seeing Shampoo's concerned look on her 
face, she quickly changed the subject.  "Oh never mind me Shampoo, I'm 
just old.  Go take Mousse and get ready for the dinner crowd."
	Seeing her grandmother was all right, and with a bright smile.  
"OK Great-grandmother.  Come on Mousse."  With that she dragged the poor 
confused Mousse into the kitchen.
	*Hmm, it seems something unusual has happened.  I must go see 
Son-in-law about what happened.* but with that, the dinner crowd started 
to arrive and so was busy for the rest of the night, for her usual help 
was no longer up to the task.

	The Kuno mansion: Sasuke was busy sweeping the walk-way 
expecting his master to return at any moment to give him some other 
task.  He paused as he heard the gate open and the quiet pattern of 
steps announced the presence of someone. 
	*Master Kuno?  His step's seemed lighter than usual.  He must be 
practicing to be silent so that he could sneak up on me.*   Just then he 
saw a little boy that he hasn't seen in years.  He was even more shocked 
as the boy came up to him and gave him a hug and pipped up.  
	"Hello Sasuke."  
	"M-master Kuno?"  Sasuke asked.  Shocked at the sight of this 
little boy standing before him.
	"Father? Where?" with that Little Taki looked around the yard 
for his father.  "Fathers not here Sasuke."  A confused look on his 
face.  Which then brightened.  "Come on Sasuke let's play 
hide-and-go-seek!"  With that he slapped Sasuke on the arm and ran off 
laughing. "Your it!"
	Sasuke could only just stand there in shock, as the little boy 
that he knew so long ago had came back.  A tear flowed down his face, 
and a smile broke out.  He didn't know why or how, but his little Taki 
was back and with that went chasing after him. 
 					
	Back at the Tendo Dojo: Soun and Genma (in human form) were 
playing shogi while Nodoka watched on, while sipping her tea.  She had 
heard Kasumi go and answer the door and waited patiently for her to 
announce their guests, if any.  What came around the corner truly 
shocked her, as someone jumped into her lap causing her to spill her tea 
all over them, the little person yelled out.  
	"Mommy! I missed you!"  Soun was getting a similar treatment 
from a little girl in a yellow dress.  Looking down she noticed the new 
attachment to her body was a boy that she thought that she would never 
see again.  Genma could only look on in shock as his now five-year- old 
son hugged his mother.  With that, all three of the adults fainted.

	Genma was awakened by the feeling a small weight dropping onto 
his stomach.  Looking at the cause of it shocked him even more.  
	"Are you all right pop?" A concerned look was on his face as 
little Ranma inspected his father.  What could fell his mighty father 
who seemed to be able to do anything?  "Are you sick?"
	Jumping up and grabbing him by the shoulder, "Ranma my boy!  
What has happened to you?" 
	Ranma was shocked, why was his father acting so strange? 
"Nothing pop, I was just playing with Akane and Ryouga."  His little boy 
face rapt with concern for his poor sick father.
	Looking over to his mother who also looked a little whiter than 
usual.  "Mommy?  What's wrong with pop?"
	Before anyone could respond Kasumi came over to him, with a big 
Kasumi smile on her face.  "Don't worry Ranma, your father is going to 
be alright. Why don't you go outside and play with Ryouga and Akane 
while we get supper ready?"  The little boy looked suspicious, but no 
one can resist the Kasumi smile.  He then shrugged and walked over to 
Ryouga, taking his hand so he would not get lost and leads him outside. 
	 "Come on Akane, lets go into the dojo and practice."  Akane 
looked pensive, not wanting to leave her father.  Seeing this Kasumi 
went over and led her by the hand to the doorway.  
	"Don't worry Akane.  Father will be fine, you just go and 
practice, you want to make him proud of you don't you?"  With a big wide 
eye smile at her sister, Akane just nodded her head and raced to catch 
up with the other children.
	"My what obedient children they are."  Kasumi beamed brightly.  
Soun and Genma face faulted.	  With that Kasumi went into the kitchen 
to make sure supper would be on time.  What with three children in the 
house she would have to make something special so that they could  grow 
up big and strong.

	The Kuno mansion: The main dinning room, were Principle Kuno and 
Kodachi sit at the table not yet touching their food. [Principle Kuno 
because he wanted his son here so that he would taste the food first.  
Kodachi was an excellent cook but had a tendency to drug the food.] 
Kodachi seemed to be waiting for her brother so that she could try out a 
new potion on him.  Both seemed to be losing patience, until.  
	"Sasuke!"  They both yelled in unison.  Instantly a blur 
appeared to form into their loyal servant, appearing in a proper 
presenting position.  "Yes Master Kuno, Mistress Kodachi?" 
	"Aloha Sasuke, where is that idiotic son of mine?"  Principle 
Kuno asked all the while making sure Sasuke's hair was up to specs.
	Sasuke grad for head to be covered, replied. "The young Master 
is taking a nap after a hard days exercise." *Extremely hard, especially 
on me* He thought.  Images of Little Kuno trying to play with his 
sister's pet, Mr. Turtle, Sasuke barely finding him in time.  Little 
Kuno accidently activating one of the Kuno Family traps.  Sasuke dodging 
arrows while carrying Kuno all the while Kuno laughing at such sport.
	"Well wake him my dear Sasuke.  He mustn't forsake his dinner or 
else he will go weak with hunger."  This coming from his sister, who 
probably poisoned his food.  
	"Very well Mistress."  With that Sasuke left to prepare his 
little Taki for dinner.  Several minutes go by before we see little Taki 
come to the table, bow to his father and then to his sister, both of 
whom are shocked speechless.
	"Good evening Father, Sister."  After that was about to sit down 
and consume his food when Sasuke suddenly appeared and placed a 
different plate in front of him.
	"Here you go young Master, your favorite."  He quickly disposes 
of the other plate out the window where it was received by Mr. Turtle.  
Mr. Turtle was later found in the pond, floating belly-up.
	Back at the dinning room.  With a big grin on his face, little 
Taki devoured his dinner.  After finishing he then turned to Sasuke.
	 "Thank you Sasuke, it was very delicious."  Trying to look 
proper in front of his father and big sister.  Sasuke just bowed hiding 
his show of relief, for he had barely able to make the food in time so 
that Taki wouldn't have to consume one of Kodachi's meals.  
	"It was my pleasure Young Master."  With that he escorted Little 
Taki to the exercise room for him to start doing his daily kendo 
practice.   Kodachi and Principle Kuno were still to stunned to do 
anything.
	A few minutes after Tatewaki and Sasuke left, they both start 
moving again, unfortunately for them it was to eat their dinners.  After 
one bite they both slump forwards onto their plates.  We next see them 
sharing a room in the local hospital there they stay for a week.

	The Cat Cafe: Cologne decided to close early so she could get to 
the bottom of all this.  Letting out a low sigh, it had been a hard 
night working all alone.  If she couldn't figure out what happened, she 
would have to hire some help or close down.  With that, she preceded to 
search for her great-granddaughter and Mousse.  She found then in the 
back, it seemed like Mousse had gotten sprayed from the sink as he tried 
to help with the cleaning.  Shampoo true to little girls every where, 
couldn't resist playing with the little baby duck.  Again Cologne 
sighed, at least it keeps them out of trouble.  She had forgotten how 
troublesome 
	"Come along Shampoo, we're going to visit Ranma."  And in true 
Shampoo fashion, lost all interest in Mousse and with a big "Hurray!" 
ran for the door.  Cologne sighed as she got a glass of hot water and 
poured it on the little ducky, then waited for Mousse to get dressed 
before leading him outside, hurrying to catch up with Shampoo.  Again 
she sighed she was getting too old for all this.

	The Tendo Dojo: Everyone just watched as the children devoured 
their meals with their safety sporks (little spoon and fork things.) 
Ranma occasionally taking some of his fathers food.  After a while he 
looked up at his father. *Boy pop really must be sick if he's not 
eating.* and with that thought, devoured both his and his father's meal. 
	When Nabiki got home, she was as shocked as everyone else, more 
so for it seems that her primary source of income just flew away like 
dust in the wind.  So it was that at dinner she just looked on with a 
unhappy stare on her face.  
	Both Kasumi and Nodoka were in complete bliss.  Nodoka having 
gotten back the child that her husband had taken away from her all those 
years ago.  Kasumi? Well, she was Kasumi, to her it was someone to 
mother over.  Three little someone's. That is if Nodoka left Ranma here.
She wouldn't mind sharing them with her.
	All that was going through Genma's mind was. *Will I have to 
train him all over again? What if the Master comes back? Nobody else 
could defeat him.* an image of Happosai looming over his and Soun's 
beat-up bodies floating into his mind.   Happosai getting to Ranma at a 
young age and turning him against his father or worse making him turn 
out just like Happosai!  Genma just sat there for the rest of the night, 
eye twitching, oblivious to all around him.
	Soun had already cried his ‘what has happened to my little girl' 
to ‘now I'll have to support her for another twenty years' tears.  
Visions of him as an old man trying to get the two teenage Akane and 
Ranma to marry.  Akane sticking him in an old folks home were he would 
never see the outside world again.  Soun suddenly glomps onto Akane, 
"How could treat your poor father like the Akane?" little Akane just 
looks at him in shock. 

	[knock, knock] The sound of someone knocking on the dojo door.  
	"I'll get it!" Little Akane jumped up and rushed to the door.  
Kasumi following her incase it was important.  "Hi Shampoo! Hi Mousse! 
Hello Granny."  The last one a respectful tone that children use when 
talking to one who was near the grave, er old.
	Kasumi bowed in respect toward the elder.  "Welcome, won't you 
please come in."
	"Thank you dear." There was just something about Kasumi that 
even Cologne liked her, even though she was nothing the Amazons stood 
for.  That was just Kasumi.
	After sending the children out to play in the dojo.  It didn't 
take long for the situation to be known to all involved.  It was 
apparent that some kind of magic was involved.  The magic also seemed to 
affect their cursed forms as well.  What kind of magic, Cologne couldn't 
say but would soon try to find out.  After the children told them that 
they were also playing with Kuno at the time Nabiki just put her head 
down and cried.  Both of her major sources were gone.  Seeming to never 
return.  That was to much for her, she went to bed.  
	The most important question was soon answered as a loud 
explosion was heard from the dojo.  They ran in to find a large hole in 
the wall.
	"My Dojo!" Soun wailed.  Even with the major trouble suddenly 
reduced, you'd think that the structural damage to the dojo would reduce 
as well.
	The children just stood around trying to look innocent.  As 
children do when they think they were in trouble.
	"Don't worry children it's ok. No one is going to get in 
trouble."  Cologne touched a spot on the back of Soun's neck and it was 
sleepy time for him.  She didn't need to upset the children anymore than 
they already were.
	"What happened?" Centuries of dealing with children gave her 
just the right tactic to use. "Who made that great big hole in the wall? 
 They must have been strong!"
	The children grinned then Ranma patted Ryouga on the back.  
"Ryouga did it!  Wasn't that cool?"  The other children nodding their 
heads in agreement.  Ryouga just looked sheepish at what he did.  
Someone complimenting him?  It was more attention than he was used to.
	"My Ryouga! How in Earth did you do that?"  This additional 
praise prompted Ryouga to demonstrate.
	With a happy look on his face, he walked over to an undamaged 
wall. "BAKUSAI TENKETSU!"  He shouted out as he touched his finger to 
the wall causing it to explode outward.
	"Alright Ryouga!" Ranma exclaimed.  He was happy that his friend 
was getting such praise although he was beginning to get a little 
jealous.  "My turn!"  Turning the wall opposite the one Ryouga just 
destroyed.  He gathered his Ki.
	"Ranma! Stop wait!" Cologne tried to stop the youth but was too 
late.
	"MOKO TABISHA!"  Ranma released his Ki blast, completely 
destroying the opposite wall.  The whole dojo started to shake.  The 
adults fearing the worst grabbed the children and unconscious Soun, and 
then rushed out the dojo just in time to watched as the dojo collapsed. 
 Soun chose that time to finally come around.  Upon seeing the remains 
of the dojo.
	"My Dojo!" He then just fainted.  His system couldn't take so 
much pressure in one day.  
	"My what energy they have!" Kasumi exclaimed happily.  The rest 
of the adults present just developed sweat drops on their heads.
	"Well it looks like they still have all of their martial 
abilities."  Genma remarked dryly.
	"After all that exercise, they should all take a bath." Kasumi 
then proceeded to guide the children to the bathroom. Leaving the others 
to discuss the more serious business.  
 
	Commercial break: Scene the Tendo Dojo, Little Ranma is walking 
through the back yard when he is suddenly knocked into the pond.  Out 
comes little Ranma-chan, she starts to sing:
	"When your world looks kind of weird and you wish that your 
weren't there."
	Little Akane comes out, and joins the song.
	"Just close your eyes and make believe, and you can be any 
where."
	Little Mousse, Shampoo, and Ryouga come out to join in the 
singing.
	Little Ryouga, "I like adventure!"
	Little Shampoo, "I like Romance!"
	Little Mousse. "I like good books!"
	Then Genma-Panda comes out with a sign that reads: ‘Panda 
Hungry!'
	All together.  Ranma-chan and Ryouga carrying two signs which 
they put together.  Which read Ranma-babies.
	"Ranma, Ranma, Ranma-babies. Ooh, hoo, hoo!
	It suddenly starts to rain.
	Shampoo-neko, "mew!"
	MuMu the duckling, "quack!"
	P-chan, "scweee!"

	End of commercial break.
