(Sweet melodies flowed through the air as the Auykawa Mansion was filled
with the sounds of a graceful melody. Through a window one could see a
beautiful young woman sitting in front of a piano. Her fingers moved
gracefully, gracefully gliding from key to key. With her eyes closed she
swept down the keys, the sounds of music flowed through every fiber
within her being. At the crescendo of her composition, a shrill ring
vibrated throughout the house.)
Madoka: (clenching her fists) Damn it! I hate it when this happens!
(Getting up she walks to the phone and presses the Talk button )
Hello?
Summer Love
A KOR and Ranma = Crossover
By Belphera
(Kyosuke Kasuga ESPer superman sat waiting at the San Francisco
International Airport. By his side was his lovely girlfriend Madoka
Auykawa, who was impatiently looking at her watch. Today was the day
that Madokas famous cousin came into town. He was reputed to be the
very best there was at Martial Arts, having defeated elders in many
Chinese societies. Masters in legendary and well-known styles have
challenged and been defeated by his hand. At the young age of twenty, he
held at least a fourth dan or so in nearly every style there was.)
(However, his personal life was another matter, having a multitude of
relationship problems. His mother and himself were coming to America.
Hoping to clear his mind and finally putting an end to his relationship
problems.)
Madoka: He should have been here by now!
Kyosuke: Madoka settle down, maybe they were delayed or something.
Madoka: I know, its just that I havent seen him for a long time. And
we were really close to each other, however since we lived so far apart
and he was always travelling, we couldnt contact each other too much.
Then with his fame and challenges, he told me he didnt want me to be
involved, just incase someone decided to kidnap me to get to him.
Kyosuke: how long has it been since youve talked with him?
Madoka: Oh I guess around four years. (Suddenly there was a rush of
people hurrying towards a gate.)
Kyosuke: Hey whats going on?
Madoka: I dont know!
Kyosuke: Here you stay here I want to check it out, just in case its
something worth taking a picture of.
Madoka: Okay try to hurry back!
(With that, Kyosuke rushed off, camera in hand. At the gate, he saw many
girls crowding around something. There were also many photographers
gathered around.)
Kyosuke: Hey whats going on?
Girl1: Oh didnt you hear? That super hot buy from Japan is coming here!
Kyosuke: huh?
Girl2: Dont you watch any TV? Ranma! Oh hes such a cutey!
Kyosuke: Ranma? As in Ranma Saotome? Martial Arts expert?
Both girls: Yeah! (Wading out of the crowd, he rushed back to the gate
Madoka was waiting at.)
Kyosuke: Madoka!
Madoka: What?
Kyosuke: your cousin, hes at another gate!
Madoka: What? Hmm Thats strange, Well lets go meet him. (Racing off,
she ran as quickly as one could in heels. Reaching the gate, she saw the
swamp of people. Pushing through the crowd, she finally got the front.
That was when a security guard stopped her.)
SG: Im sorry miss, no passing this fence, Mr. Saotome is waiting for
someone.
Madoka: (gritting her teeth) Im his cousin.
SG: Sure you are. Now please step back. (Kyosuke, came up behind Madoka
and looked at her with a questioning look.)
Kyosuke: Why arent they letting you through?
Madoka: They dont believe Im his cousin. How am I going to get his
attention?
Kyosuke: Hmmm. (Using his ESPer powers, he calls out to Ranma. Ranma,
who was talking to some two girls and an older woman, sensed something
and looked over towards Madoka.)
Ranma: Madoka! (Rushing over to Madoka, he quickly plucks her out of the
crowd and embraces her ina fierce hug.) Oh man, Ive missed you!
Madoka: (breathlessly) Ranma.. I need to breath.
Ranma: huh? Oh. Hey Madoka! You look really good.
Madoka: (with a mischievous smile) Now is that a come on?
Ranma: Hey! Dont joke around like that! (Nearby Kyosukes being crushed
by several dozen girls trying to get through. Ranma glances over to
Kyosuke, with a lightning fast grab, he hauls Kyosuke out of the crowd.)
Madoka: Kyosuke!
Ranma: hey man, you must be Kyosuke, the ESPer guy right?
Kyosuke: Huh? How did you know?
Ranma: Heh, you think I havent met ESPers before? Oh and dont touch my
mind for anything, even if you mean well, cause Ive already set up
extremely strong defenses.
Madoka: Well, lets get out of here.
(Sitting in the seat of the limo that was rented by Ranmas business
associate, Madoka stared at her cousin. He had changed a lot, but that
little boy spirit was still in him. But he had grown in a beautiful
male. He was a few inches taller than her, his frame was nicely built
and perfectly proportioned. But underneath all that she could see pain,
happiness, and frustration in his eyes.)
Madoka: So Ranma, arent you going to introduce me to these young women?
Ranma: yeah well you know mom.
Madoka: Auntie? Wow, you still look so young!
Nodoka: Madoka-chan, its so nice to see you again! How is my sister?
Madoka: Well, moms up in Seattle with father. She plays first violin
for the Seattle Philnarmonic Symphony.
Nodoka: Fantastic, she had told me about that. So why are you not in
Seattle?
Madoka: Oh! Well, you see, with my career mom and dad bought a house
down by the Bay Area, this way I could communicate with my contacts
easier.
Nodoka: We must visit them while we are in America.
Ranma: Say Maachan is there a lot of room up in Seattle?
Madoka: yes Theres a lot of open space, why?
Ranma: Well, the rest of the gang will be coming here, and Well need
lots of space. Nabiki?
Nabiki: yeah?
Ranma: Can you find a suitable house up there and around here?
Nabiki: you mean a place that would have the least property damage and
not attract as much attention?
Ranma: you got it.
Nabiki: No problem, Ranma-baby.
(Seeing the banter between the two companions, she looked to Ranma.)
Madoka: Um Ranma? Is she one of your.um interests?
Ranma and Nabiki: No!
Ranma: Nabiki manages whatever money comes that way. Shes a very good
friend.
Nabiki: Besides, I dont mix business with pleasure. Not that Ranma
isnt a nice piece of beef there.
Ranma: Nabiki.
Nabiki: just kidding!
Madoka: (looking to the last girl with dark. Rich, red hair, and with a
body and face most women would kill for.) So who is this?
Nodoka: Why Madoka, this is Ranko, my daughter.
Madoka: huh?
Ranma: Its a long story, Ill tell you when we get to your house.
Madoka: Is there something wrong, Ranko?
Ranko: Its not fair..
Madoka: whats not fair?
Ranma: Ranko, wait just a little longer. I know it hurts, but just a
little longer.
Ranko: (sigh) alright.
(Sitting in Madokas Mansion, they all enjoyed a cup of tea as they sat
and chat. Madoka simply had a hard time to believe that her young and
naove cousin had so many women hanging on him. But then again, if they
werent related shed be all over him.)
Madoka: So what is it that you have to explain?
Ranma: Well.. You know how Pop, took me on a long training trip?
Madoka: Yes, You wrote to me on the trip. Why?
Ranma: um.
Nodoka: Ranma had an accident. His father lead him to an ancient
training ground. There, Ranma and Genma both received a curse. Ranma was
cursed to turn into a woman when splashed with cold water, and Genma
turns into a panda.
Madoka: (eyes widening) you mean that Ranma turns into a girl?
Kyosuke: (splashes Ranma with a glass of cold water) Hey you didnt
change!
Ranma: (annoyed) Well, I got a kind of cure, I went to the Drowned
springs in jusenkyo and tried to find the spring of the drowned man, but
I was lucky and found out that if I jumped in, then would basically be a
hemaphrodite.
Madoka: Then what did you do?
Ranko: (speaking up for the first time) He splashed himself with the
spring of the Drowned twins, then with permanent water and that was how
I was born.
Madoka: Does that mean that you are Ranma too?
Ranko: Kinda, you see, while I still retain certain portions of Ranmas
memory and personality, I have am a new person. I only remember a few
things from childhood, like Mom, you, Ryouga, and Cat-fist. Im still
really into martial arts like bro. And Were almost the same, except
hes a bit better than me. But hes got a big attitude problem and likes
to hit on girls and is indecisive. Whereas Im all woman and no trace of
his macho attitude.
Ranma: Hey! I dont have that much of an attitude!
Madoka: (slumping into her chair) This is unbelievable. How is something
like this possible?
Ranma: When Pop gets here, well demonstrate the Jusenkyo Curses.
Madoka: When is Uncle coming?
Ranma: Hell be arriving in a week with the rest of my friends.
Kyosuke: These wouldnt be those friends that causes Japan numerous
amounts of property damage would it?
Ranma: Yeah, but weve all gotten much better. Besides most of us have
jobs.
Madoka: You all must be tired from your trip, why dont you all go get
some rest? Well all go into town later in the day.
(Sitting down at her piano, Madoka let out a breath of relief. Her
cousin lived such a hectic life, in the letters, he had told her
everything, but it was still so hard to accept his curse and now his
cure. Then there were his love interests. As far as she had been told
there were five women that Ranma cared about too much to say no to. But
he simply didnt know which one he loved more. Unfortunately Japan would
not allow him to have multiple wives. Slowly she moved her fingers
across the piano stroking the keys softly.)
Ranma: I know this must be really hard for you.
Madoka: Dont worry about me, Ill adjust. Its just that reading about
it and seeing you talk about it seems to be so much more different.
Ranma: I understand (looking at Madokas piano) did you write that piece
yourself?
Madoka: (looking down at her hands) Yes, it is for a very special
person.
Ranma: Kyosuke?
Madoka: (smiling) No, its a she. She was my best friend, but because we
both love Kyosuke, she felt that three was company, so she went to New
York.
Ranma: you know, I think I may be rubbing off on you. All my cousins
seem to have relationship troubles.
Madoka: Yeah I know, Tenchi told me about his predicament. I dont know
whos worse, you or him.
Ranma: So what was your best friends name?
Madoka: Hikaru.
Ranma: Here play it again. It sounds nice. (Madoka closes her eyes and
glides her delicate fingers across the ivory keys. A sad but hopeful
tune emerges from the piano. For seven long minutes the piano wept and
smiled, until finally ended with a whisper of hope.)
Madoka: (unshed tears in her eyes) Oh Hikaru.
Ranma: (feeling saddened) I thought you only wrote and played jazz.
Madoka: Things change when you need to make a living.
Ranma: Yeah I get you.
Madoka: (curiously) Say do you still play?
Ranma: (Smiling again) Aww man, I havent played in over ten years, Im
not that good at it.
Madoka: (Encouragingly) But you had so much talent when you were
younger.
Ranma: Yeah, well things change a lot. (seeming a bit downcast.)
Madoka: Ranma, so much has gone on in your life in the last four years.
Tell me about it.
Ranma: (drawing in a deep breath.) Lets go for a walk.
(Kyosuke walked down the hall towards the front door of the house when
he noticed Ranma and Madoka going out, arms linked. Gritting his teeth,
Kyosuke repeated to himself that Madoka just wanted to spend some more
time with a loved one. But somehow he felt threatened by Ranma, probably
because so many women adored him. Walking towards him and Madokas room,
he plops onto the bed and tries to get some rest.)
(Outside Ranma and Madoka walked in a beautiful Japanese Garden. Ranmas
arms were linked with Madokas as her head rested against Ranmas
shoulder. If a stranger were to look at the scene, they would describe
it as a lovers stroll. However, Ranma and Madoka just had a very close
bond that many people couldnt understand.)
Ranma: Madoka you know about Akane right?
Madoka: you mean that girl that your father and his friend engaged you
to?
Ranma: Yeah, I loved her very much. She was my entire reason for living,
until she died.
Madoka: (looks up at Ranma) What happened?
Ranma: Well, my master was a perverted panty thief and very old. But in
truth he had merged with a demon lord in hopes of preventing the demon
from being let loose into the dimension. However, the demon Lord began
to awaken and started to try and break free. Luckily several gods,
Tenchi and his friends appeared. Together with Tenchis powers, my
powers, my masters powers, ancient Chinese legends, and several of the
gods and goddesses we destroyed the demon lord and the demons under him.
Unfortunately, we had heavy casualties. Four gods died, Herb, Ryu, Taro,
Toma, Shinnosuke, Mousse, all of them were my friends, they all died.
Tenchi lost two of his friends, I think hes gone away for a time to
recover.
Madoka: My God, But what happened to Akane? (Sitting down on the ground.
)
Ranma: (Joining her and his voice shaking) Akane was injured during the
fight, because the Demon Lord wanted to kill Akane to try and get me out
of the fight. But She was wounded badly. Both her and Kanako might have
died because of her wound. But Akane managed to channel her chi to
Kanako. Not having enough for herself, she died. All in one moment I had
the life of a child whom I love with all my heart, and the corpse of the
woman who I gave my heart to. (Tears threatening to pour from his eyes.)
Madoka: (Drawing Ranma to her chest, she holds him) Oh Ranma, what has
happened to you? When I knew you, you didnt have a care in the world.
But now you grew up and the world is catching up with you.
Ranma: (Standing up) But in time, I had my art and I tried to find a way
to revive Akane. My friends traveled with me. We became very good
friends. We met a lot of interesting people. And due to our travels, we
have become so well known.
Madoka: (Questioningly) Did you ever find a way to revive her?
Ranma: (Sadly) No, but I gained the ability to talk with her. It was in
the last battle I fought against a man who said he was the embodiment of
Sheng Long. Akane came to me. She told me that she was happy. She was
living with her mother and father now. But she could not rest easy
knowing that I was not happy and that Kanako was motherless, because I
didnt want to fall in love again. So she told me to love another. And
thats why there are five women who I truly love very much.
Madoka: Are you going to choose?
Ranma: I dont know. If I had it my way, I would marry them all.
Madoka: (gently) Tell me about them.
Ranma: Well, first theres Ucchan. Shes my oldest friend. She has a
great deal of spirit and shes very affectionate. She adores Kanako, and
she loves to cook.
Madoka: I think Youve told me about her. I still remember about that
time, when you wrote to me that you just found out she was a girl.
Ranma: Yeah, thats right, got a full view of her breasts and I said to
myself, how could I have ever mistaken her for a boy? I mean-
Madoka: (hitting Ranma in the head) Pervert.
Ranma: yeah well, shes opened up the largest chain of Okonomiyaki shops
all over Japan and China. Another one of my fiancees is Shampoo, she has
a lot of fighting spirit and she helped me greatly through the time when
I was trying to get over Akane.
Madoka: Shes the bubbly and cute Amazon right?
Ranma: Shes an Amazon warrior. But shes actually very smart and only
very affectionate. But within the last year, shes become some kind of a
super model. But she plans to come to San Francisco soon. Right now
shes in New York.
Madoka: Hmmmm I think Ive heard of her, but her stage name is Xian.
Ranma Thats her Chinese name. Thirdly, theres Kodachi. I used to
really hate her with a passion, but that was when she had a mental
disorder. She finally got well, and I saw her to be a passionate woman.
She helped me through the time when I really wanted to kill myself.
Madoka: Shes on the National Gymnastics team isnt she? I think I saw
her on TV once.
Ranma: Yeah, and shes a really good botanist. Then theres Kasumi, she
is the sweetest and gentlest woman Ive ever met. Shes been like a
mother to Kanako, and shes helped me raise Kanako as one of her own.
Madoka: Isnt she Akanes sister?
Ranma: I suppose that its wrong to love her, but shes so nice and
beautiful, I cant help but love her. Shes at home with Kanako right
now. Kanako is finishing up a camp, and Kasumi said that shell come
over here with Kanako later. Finally theres Hinako.
Madoka: Right shes the one I havent heard too much about.
Ranma: Shes odd to explain. She used to have this curse that she would
always turn into a young girl, but because of the demon fight, she was
cured. Over time, as she traveled with me, she was my teacher of sorts.
I soon found out that she was actually only two years older than me, but
she was very innocent at times. I guess thats what drew me to her. Her
innocence. She looks very differently from the outside, but on the
inside, shes very insecure, and always tries to act very mature, but
she really isnt.
Madoka: You have good reasons for loving each of them. Maybe you can
find a way out of this problem.
Ranma: I know, theyve all been very supportive and I love each and
everyone of them equally.
(Somewhere in Manhattan.)
(A beautiful young woman sits on her couch reading a letter that was
just sent to her. A giant smile then breaks out as she congratulates
herself.)
Hikaru: Yes! They want me to audition for the part! (Rushing off to her
room, she begins to pack, her plane would be leaving by the end of this
week. So many things to do. This was something that could really boost
her career. This movie was a pretty large scale movie with some pretty
big stars, but most of all it was starring this really popular guy. She
had seen a few photos of him in the newspaper, he was really cute, a man
women dream about, but he had five women who claimed to be his fiances.
She had no chance with him. Oh well. Suddenly the phone rings.)
Hikaru: Hello?
Person on phone: Miss Hiyanama?
Hikaru: Yes?
Person on phone: My name is Nabiki, I am contacting all possible actors
and actresses for the movie Day of Destiny
Hikaru: Right, I just read the letter.
Nabiki: Well all auditioning actresses and actors will be staying at the
Saotome Mansion. When you arrive on Saturday night we will have someone
to meet you.
Hikaru: How many actresses are auditioning?
Nabiki: Weve narrowed it down to five actresses.
Hikaru: Why are we staying at a mansion?
Nabiki: Mr. Saotome wants to meet all actors and actresses one on one.
Also the mansion is closer to the set. I must be going now.
Hikaru: Of course, And thank you for choosing me.
Nabiki: Your Welcome.
(Hanging up the phone, Hikaru felt the excitement well up in her. Making
a list of things she had to do and pack before she left, she wondered
what kind of a man this Ranma Saotome was.)
end of Chapter 1
Author's notes,
Chapter two should be coming out soon. I've put memories on a bit of a
hold, it will probably be posted sometime next week for sure.
