Hello everybody !
Like I said a few days ago, I'm going to re-write that fic. With some
changes. Actually, somebody raised the interesting question of Nabiki
and her reactions toward Sachi. I have to admit I hadn't thought much
about it (and don't you dare tell me it showed, Gary ! I know
that...^_-)
Anyway, as this afternoon's lessons were not that interesting, I had
some time to think about it, and I came out with the beginning of an
idea :
--> What if Sachi not merely fell in the Spring of Drowned Young Man (is
it the "Nannichuan", by the way ?), but almost drowned in it. So,
instead of just taking the body of a young man, she would also get a
personality change.
Let me explain further : when in her "normal" state, she thinks of
herself as a girl who sometimes turns into a guy. Therefore, she would
accept her engagement to Ryouga with little difficulties, because
- she finds him soooo damn cute; especially those cute little fangs of
his. Heck, she could even fall in love with him, if only he gave her a
little chance...
- her familly duties and honor demand it
- she wants to bug Akane (I have to think about that part, though : I'm
not sure that Akane unknowingly having her fianc� as a pet would be a
sufficient reason) by showing her one can get along with and
and love without having to be afraid an imposed fianc� (but would Akane
realise that ?)
BUT, when struck with cold water, she turns into a guy who thinks of
himself as a guy who sometimes turn into a girl, just like Ranma do.
Hence, he would accept his engagement to Ryouga with LOTS of problems,
the only things keeping him from breaking it being
- his sense of honor and duty toward his familly - his official
papers and parents telling him he really is a she
- his desire to bug Ryouga, whom he finds for some reasons to be
despicable (err... Is that the word ? I mean, he despises him). The
reasons ? He finds him to be honorless, pertaining with (ot "to" ?) his
acting as P-chan.
Okay, that would need a little bit more thought, like "how come he
accept his parents' words easily and, does he need to go see a shrink to
keep him from going nuts, and such... But still, I think it could have
some potential, especially if Sachi's "male side" was attracted to
Nabiki, neh ?
So, what do you think ? Too complicated ? Too clich� ? Too bad ? Too
good, I could only spoil this great idea ?... I'm waiting for your
replies on that idea.
And I'm not afraid ^_-
Bye bye for now
