Hi. This is my first fic. It probably isn�t very good but give me a
little credit. I will try to recreate
Takahashi-samas humor but I give no guarantee. This idea has been used
and I�d like to thank whoever
came up with it first. Also, these characters aren�t mine and I claim no
custody of them. Places as well.
Anyway, here goes nothing. Enjoy!

{Chinese} [Panda] <thought> (my notes)

A Wrongful Wish

Ranma stormed in the dojo rubbing the growing, egg sized lump on his
head.

"I�m home!" he called out. When no one answered he stomped up to his
room and slammed his door.
"Stupid tomboy." He mumbled. "How can she be so un-cute? All I did was
say Ucchans cooking was
good�" He slumped down on his futon and plopped his head in his hands.
"Why?" he muttered.
 The front door slammed, shaking the windows in the house. Akane he
guessed. He didn�t bother to get
up to listen�she was loud enough to hear from here. "I can't believe
that�jerk!" she shouted. Ranma
guessed that someone else was talking because there was a pause. "What
did he do? He hit on Ukyou.
That�s what." More silence. "I don�t care. She might be his friend but
I�I�" Ranmas interest peaked.
<Hello? > He thought. He began to get up when Akane bellowed. "Because
he�s a jerk O.K.?!" He fell
back down on he futon in a huff. He heard more stomping and a door slam.

 "She�s probably in her room lifting weights." He grumbled. "How
kawaiikune can you get?" He lay
back on his pillow and stared at the stars. "Some times I wish I�d never
even come here." With that he
fell asleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------
"I love you Ranma." Akane said. She wrapped her arms around his waist
and set her head on his chest.
He ran his hand through her hair. "I love you too, Akane." She looked
into his eyes and their faces
inched closer until�Akane began shaking him violently.
"Wake up!" she shouted. She sounded alarmingly like Shampoo. "Wake up
stupid! Wake up!"
His eyes slowly opened and he saw Shampoo stand back. "Oh. Only
Shampoo." He rolled over and
then sprang out of the bed. "Shampoo? What are you doing here?"
"I live here stupid. Have dignity." She glared and threw his clothes at
him. Ranma realized that it was a
little breezy and quickly put his familiar black pants and red silk
shirt on. "Now you dressed you do
house work." She threw an apron at him.
"Huh?"
 Shampoo glowered at him. "Are you deaf? Do house work. Cook clean." She
shouted. "No wonder
Shampoo beat husband. He stupid and weak."
Now it was Ranmas turn to get angry. "What?!" he roared.
Shampoo smiled. "Shampoo challenge you and panda and win. Panda run away
but Shampoo easily
beat you. Then find out you man and we marry." Her look of ecstasy
melted into one of shame and
disgust. "But you wea�" She stopped when she noticed Ranmas glow. <He no
do that yesterday. >
She thought.
<How could I lose to her? > He thought. <And what happened to pop? > He
turned toward Shampoo.
"What exactly happened to oyaji?" he asked.
Shampoo forgot her fear and began laughing hysterically. "We chase him
but he get away in panda
form." She wiped a tear from her eyes before laughing again. "Was very
funny." She stopped laughing
when she saw Ranmas glow come back, five times greater.
"Figures." Ranma growled, clenching his fists. "When I get my hands on
him�" He turned toward the
door but found Shampoos bonbori blocking him. "Uh�excuse me?"
"No leave." She snarled. (My how our moods change.) "Do house work like
good husband."
"No." Ranma said as he threw the apron down.
Shampoo attacked without warning but her bonbori glided through the air,
but missing Ranma, reduced
a nearby table to splinters instead. She whirled around and swung again
but felt her feet leave the
ground and her rear meet it. She stood and swung again with the same
results. She hopped to her feet
and glared daggers at Ranma. Just yesterday he did nothing more but
stand there and now he was
mopping the floor with her. And she could feel him pull his punches. She
decided on lunging one last
time. "You die now!" she shrieked.
Ranma saw the hole in her attack and decided to take advantage of it. He
threw a quick amagurikan
sending Shampoo to the floor unconscious. "I'm sorry Shampoo." He said.
He opened the door and
stepped outside.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------
 Cologne was happy. Happy with her self. Happy for Shampoo. Happy at
life in general. Shampoo
finally found a husband and that meant that she didn�t have to take care
of her anymore. She had a
lowly man to do it for her. Plus Mousse would have to leave Shampoo
alone. The day before went well
too. The guide brought the two Japanese men in to the village just like
she'd instructed him to. But the
fat one got away. He would have made a good servant. Oh well.
She debated on whether or not to check up on Shampoo and Son-in-law. The
fought a lot last
night�wait. Shampoo fought, son-in-law was beaten. <I'd better go check
on them. > She thought.
<Shampoo might kill him. > She pogoed out the door and over to Shampoos
house.
'Thump' 'Thud'. Cologne ignored the noises. The sounds came so often
last night that everyone
overlooked them. Her ears perked when she heard son-in-law shout
something vaguely familiar. "What
was that�" she wondered aloud. She heard another muffled thump and Ranma
stepped out the door
with a scowl on his face. She knew that they had been fighting but her
Shampoo always won. Ranma
didn�t even look harmed much less even tired. She decided to play
ignorant. She sneaked up behind
him, "Hello son-in-law." She said.
Ranma jumped and spun around. "Oh�uh�hi!" He was visibly sweating.
Cologne smiled. "How is your wife?" she asked.
Ranma began sweating buckets. He knew that Cologne could tear him apart
if she wanted to.
"She�um�uh�" he stammered intelligently.
"Mind if I check on her?" she asked and walked in with out an answer.
"Thanks."
Ranmas mind told him to haul butt out of there and he didn�t hesitate.
He knew that Cologne would be
furious when she found Shampoo. He would have to fight his way out.
After that he would run�
"Ranma!" Cologne bellowed from inside. Ranmas instincts took over and he
sprinted toward the gate.
He saw a woman throw a pail of water out her door and Ranma was heading
straight for it. As he
plowed through it he was grateful for the extra speed and the disguise
it offered.
Cologne set Shampoos unconscious form on the ground and glared at Ranma.
"Get her!" she shouted.
Instantly a horde of very angry and heavily armed (swords spears and
other various weapons of pain)
women were chasing after the red head. Ranma panicked her hands in the
Takahashi gesture of shock
and bolted. She pounded the gate and its guards with a quick Moko
Takabisha, and continued running.
When she stopped to catch her breath she recognized where she was.
Jusenkyo. She shuddered
remembering her fateful dip in a spring. But she was here now and that
meant�she headed toward the
guide's hut and knocked on the door. "Hello?"
The guide looked quite surprised to see her. So surprised that he forgot
to speak Japanese. He caught
himself soon enough and tried to act calm. "Oh! Y-young miss�sir. How
can help you?"
Ranmas suspicion was aroused. "I need to get to the Nannichuan. Can you
show me to it?"
The guide nodded a little hastily and left the hut with Ranma in tow.
They finally reached the spring and
Ranma jumped in�and cane out still female. "N-no!" she shouted, slumping
to the ground, sobbing.
Now she knew that there was no cure.
After the guide jotted something on a pad of paper he set a hand on
Ranmas shoulder. He felt bad
about betraying this boy�er�girl�person to the amazons. He would help
him. "I so sorry. No know
it no work. Can I do something for you?"
Ranma stood up and wiped the tears from her eyes. She didn�t care that
guys weren't supposed to cry.
She wasn�t a guy right now. She had no cure for her curse. But she
remembered something. Akane.
She could start over. "C-can you get me to Japan?" she asked hopefully.
"And some hot water?" She
mentally kicked herself for making that wish.
The guide smiled. "No problem."

People were staring at the large panda lumbering down the street. A
panda loose in the city? "Mommy
mommy look." The little girl said as she tugged on her mothers' arm.
"Yes dea�oh my god!" her mother replied as she picked up her laughing
daughter. "After I call the zoo
we're leaving."
The panda couldn�t help but overhear this and shook his head in dismay.
<What luck! > He thought.
<First this curse, then having my son beaten by a woman, and now people
staring at me. At least Tendo
agreed to let me stay with him. >
His wandering eventually brought him to a very large stone wall.
<Finally! > He thought. He opened the
gate and sauntered in.
The girl in the yard noticed him and came up. "Can I help you?" she
asked. (Guess who?) The panda
began to growl and growf. The girl stopped him. "I'm sorry but I don�t
speak panda."
The panda seemed to get an idea and pulled a sign out from nowhere and
began to scribble on it. He
held it up when he was done. [My name is Genma Saotome. I'm here�] flip
[�to see Soun Tendo.]
The girl smiled pleasantly. "Oh my. What a smart panda." Genma face
faulted. "I'm Kasumi. Fathers
inside." She led him into the dining room and sat him down. "One minute
please." She left and went into
the dojo where Soun was bawling as usual. Akane was smashing bricks in a
corner of the dojo
muttering unprintable words. "Father?"
"Yes Kasumi?" he bawled.
"Your guest is here." She said. Soun stopped crying tears of happiness
and began to cry tears of Joy.
Genma looked up and saw his friend prance into the room then freeze.
Genma hopped up and gathered
the man in an embrace. "Help!" Soun shouted. "He's trying to eat me!
Help!"
For the second time that day the panda face faulted. [Get me some hot
water please] he signed. Soun
crept into the kitchen, to afraid to disobey a smart (Bwa hahahahaha)
panda, while Kasumi was trying
to explain something to him. When they finally got there he grabbed his
daughter by the shoulders.
"Kasumi. Go get your sisters and meet me out front." "But father�"
"After I call animal control�"
"Father�" "�I'll lock the doors�" "Father!!" Soun stopped yammering and
listened. Kasumi didn�t
yell like that for anything.
Kasumis smile was back rather quickly. "Father, that panda's name is
Genma Saotome."
Soun began bawling again and ran back out into the dining room while
Kasumi got the hot water. Soun
wrapped his arms around the fat animal. "Saotome! It's so good to see
you." He broke the embrace.
"But you�ve aged terribly."
The panda face faulted again, as Kasumi poured the hot water on him. "Oh
my." She said at his change.
"Thank you Kasumi. Now Tendo�Tendo?" Genma noticed that the man was in
shock. He slapped the
thinner man a few times. "Tendo! Snap out of it."
Soun shook his head. "Wha�" he said intelligently.
"I was about to explain that." Genma started his story of how his son
got lucky and knocked him into
the pool and such but left out the fact that Ranma was still in china.
"And that is why I change." He
finished after a few demonstrations.
Soun was overjoyed. "Kasumi, go get your sisters. I have a surprise for
you." Then he turned to Genma.
"Where is the young lad?" "Tendo�" "I cant wait to meet him." "Tendo he
isnt here." Soun stopped
babbling and stared at genma. "Care to run that by me again Saotome?"
 Genma found the floor suddenly very interesting. "Um�he�um�he's still
in china."
"What!?" Soun grew his Demon Head as his daughters walked in to the
room. "How could you
Saotome?! In your postcard�"
"Daddy, were here." Kasumi said. Akane and Nabiki were hiding behind
her. "What was your
surprise?"
Souns anger deflated and he began to sob. "I have none daughter." He
looked at Genma who was on
the verge of tears him self. "What happened to your boy?"
Genma burst out in tears. "He was defeated by a girl in china and then
Married her�"
Soun paled. "Married? He was supposed to marry one of my daughters�" He
then was distracted by a
faint blue glow. "A-Akane?"
"You mean that you were going to give one of us to someone we don�t even
know?" Akane growled,
her gi tinted blue from her aura.
"Well�" Soun began, "Not really�" the girls looked releaved. "Two of you
if I could�"
"What!!!" the three girls bellowed in unison. The two middle-aged men
knew their day was far from
over.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------
Ranma was tired, dirty and otherwise very peeved. After the guide helped
her get to a boat, he
disappeared leaving Ranma to the sailors. The women deprived men ended
up in the infirmary at least
three times a day. Needless to say she didn�t get any sleep until she
revealed that she was really a guy.
Still some of them�we wont get into that. Immediately after getting off
the boat she had been splashed
by a woman throwing mop water out her door. (What is it with mop water?)
Then to top it all off she
ran into Ryoga. After Ranma threw him into a fountain, expecting a small
piglet come out, she was
mildly surprised when a black hared girl did instead. She thought back
to the incident�
"Ranma die!!!" Ryoga bellowed as he sprung at the aforementioned boy.
Ranma turned, and looked happy, much to Ryogas chagrin, to see a
familiar face. "Yo, P-chan! What's
up?" he said while casually stepping out of the way. Ryogas umbrella
shattered the concrete where he
was a moment ago.
"Don�t call me that!" he yelled. "I'm going to kill you for what you put
me through!" He struck the
ground again.
"And what might that be?" Ranma asked sarcastically. <You put me through
hell! > His mind played
back.
"You put me through hell!" Ryoga shouted, his strikes becoming more
frantic. "Stop dodging! You're
supposed to suck!"
Ranma almost laughed as he tossed Ryoga into the near by fountain. "Well
good bye P-chan. Have fun
porking around."
He got a good fifty yards away when a distinctly female voice shouted.
"What's that supposed to
mean?" Ranma turned around and saw a very good-looking girl standing,
dripping wet, in the fountain.
Wearing Ryogas clothes. P-chan he could deal with, but Ryoga-chan. No.
He turned and ran Ryoga in
hot pursuit. After oh�ten seconds of running Ranma heard her shout,
"Where the hell am I now?"
�and was very happy that a certain pig wouldn�t be sleeping with her
fiancee. Then it had started to
rain. Very cold, very wet rain. Ranma didn�t want to get to the dojo in
her cursed form but she had to
now. <Oh well�> she thought. <At least I can try to get along with
Akane. > She looked around and
recognized where she was. Furinkan High. "All right!" she shouted. "I'm
home!"
Ranma immediately jumped on the fence and ran toward the dojo. When she
neared it she slowed.
"What if Akane really doesn�t like me. What if Soun thinks I'm a
failure? I mean, I lost to Shampoo. But
that wasn�t ME. Well it was but�" Her mind slapped her a few times.
<What if and but�just do it you
idiot. >
She considered arguing with her mind but that would only make people
stare. More than those who
already were. She continued walking toward the dojo feeling a little
better. "O.K.!" she said. "I'll make a
good impression on her."
She finally reached the gate and pushed it open a little hesitantly.
<Here goes. > She stopped at the
front door and began to knock but remembered that she lived here. Or
did� Ranma walked in and
heard some one talking. Someone who sounded strangely like her father.
She sneaked toward the
dining room and caught the tail end of his speech.
"�and my ingrate son cant even fight. He has no honor anymore, marrying
that Amazon." Ranmas
vision turned red as she tried to keep her anger under control�and
failed. She leapt over the table with
a cry, picked Genma up and pinned him to the wall. He was surprised to
say the least. "Um�hello
boy�"
"You could have tried to get me out of the village, Oyaji." Ranma
growled.
"Boy? I didn�t know you had a daughter Saotome." Soun asked.
Ranma threw her father out into the koi pond with unerring accuracy and
turned toward Soun. "He
doesn�t." she looked at the floor. "Can I get some hot water? I can
explain everything."
On cue Kasumi left for the kitchen followed by a wet panda. Nabiki
walked up to Ranma and studdied
her. "If Mr. Saotome doesn�t have a daughter then you must be his
'son'." She poked Ranmas breast for
emphasis.
Ranma slapped her hand away as Kasumi upended the hot water over her
head. "Please don�t do that."
Nabiki backed away apon seeing his change but stopped to look him over.
He looked around the room
at all the amazed occupants. "I'm Ranma Saotome. Sorry 'bout this."
