this fanfiction is an alternaverse where certain things happened
differently. in short, Happosai ends up a not being quite himself,, though
he is dead before the story begins (where Genma brings Ranma to the Tendo
dojo)
These characters and situations do not belong to me. If by some chance they
belong to someone reading this, I'd prolly work for you for the price of a
closet with a cot and two meals a day.

The Master's revenge: schools united
pt.1
It was a quiet day with the soft thunder rolling in the air and the smell
of approaching storms. Soun Tendou walked into the kitchen. �Kasumi-dear
would you go get the other girls?� The young woman looked steadily at her
father with a rather blank yet interested expression. �What is it father?�
�I will explain to you all together Kasumi.� �Yes father.� Kasumi quickly
left the kitchen. Soun walked out and sat at the head of the table. �Soon I
will have ensured my family's honor in the School of Anything Goes. Forgive
your weak Father my daughters. I will amend my wrongs to you.� he thought to
himself. Kasumi entered with two younger girls in tow one seemed depressed
and wore her hair fairly long with a yellow ribbon contrasting its darkness,
the other whose expression was very much a smirk seemed to glow arrogance.
�Good grief, what is it now daddy?� Soun turned his eyes to the arrogant
girl before him �Nabiki,� he next looked at the long haired girl �Akane� and
then finally at Kasumi �Kasumi. A very good friend of mine is coming here
today. You�ve heard of aunt Nodoka�s husband, Genma?" The three nodded to
him and he continued, "They have a son, Ranma. One of you girls is going to
marry him and carry on the school.� All three girls slumped over then Nabiki
who recovered the quickest put herself nose to nose with her father and
spoke in an icy tone. �You arranged for one of us to be married?� Faint
knocking can be heard from outside the main gate. Soun sighed in relief as
it distracted his trio of glaring daughters. Kasumi promptly turned,�Oh
dear! I�ll go get it.� Soun happily rose and followed her to the gate, �That
must be them now.� Nabiki and a visibly fuming Akane started to move a few
moments later.
A large panda was walking down the street carefully as the bystanders
watched him in curiousity and kept their distance. He looked around
nervously starting to edge off in a different direction before feeling
himself knocked forward again. Looking back, he saw piercing, clear blue
eyes and kept going straight ahead. The owner of those eyes, a small red
haired girl behind him, flipped her ponytail from her shoulder, casually.
Her chinese clothes seemed rather odd but the short blade held fast by a
dark black sash stood out even more. The panda began to wander off a bit
again and this time the visage of the girl blurred a moment and the panda
found himself in a wall. She then yanked him up and leaned in to speak, "We
are going pop. His last request will be followed, even if I have to be less
then pleasant..." The panda saw her hand resting on her short blade and he
gulped comicly and nodded. The panda then began walking without the without
a hint of diversion from the pair's destination.
Kasumi cautiously openned it to be greeted by a pleasing sight. �Aunty
Nodoka it is so good to see you again.� Nodoka walked in, she had dark hair
that shone red where the light caught it properly. In her arms was a long
bundle. �Ah my dear Kasumi, how are things?" �I am fine Aunty." "Has my son
arrived yet?� Soun stepped up to kasumi and Nodoka and reszponded, "No.
Genma and your son have not found their way here, but I am sure they will be
along any minute.� The other two finally caught up and Akane blurts out,
"Aunty do one of us really have to marry him?� She turns her head doan,
ashamed for such an outburst. Nodoka smiles at Akane sweetly. �Akane-chan.
if it were up to me, no. But this has been made a matter of honor between
your father and my husband.� Akane meekly nodded her head. Kasumi, the only
one without a contemplative look spoke up, �Aunty would you like some tea
while we wait?" Soun added in, "Yes that is a wonderful idea Kasumi. If you
would please Nodoka?" Nodoka replied she would and they left for the house.
At the table, everyone was sitting and listening to Nodoka. "Ranma has been
a very dedicated student to the art. I haven�t seen him in two years.� �Two
years! Isn�t that a long time?� �Oh Akane. He really does love his training.
He promised it would only be a year but sometimes his father or the master
get carried away.� Soun�s eyes bulged slightly and he began coughing from
soem misswallowed tea. He finally regains enough composure to speak,
"No-Nodoka, did you just say the master?" Nodoka seeing the man's
startlement smiled and spoke in the sweetest tones possible. "Why yes.
Master Happosai has bee�" There is a great deal of commotion as a Panda is
pushed into the room by an irrate young red haired girl. Nodoka grabbed the
girl in a fierce hug exclaiming, "Ranma your home!" Nabiki walked up to the
reunited pair and poked Ranma in the chest. "Are you sure Nodoka? Your son
is a she." Nodoka stepped away and looked into her son's cool eyes,
recognizing them. "Jusenkyo?" she asked, looking at the panda who had tried
to somehow fade into the background. Ranma sighing and muttering what was
likely curses to himself nodded and replied, "Yes.. That's pop over there."
Nodoka asked Kasumi who was at not in as much shock as Soun or his other
daughters.
A moment later everyone, even Soun, had remained silent upon Nodoka's
promise of an explaination. She started speaking when Kasumi returned with
the hot water, "In china there is a training ground of cursed springs and
those who fall into them are cursed to take the form of taht which drowned
in each spring. Cold water brings out the cursed form and hot water restores
the cursed person's original form." Nodoka splashed the Panda and it became
a bald man. Then with a splash on Ranma, he grew taller and noticeably a
boy. Ranma shifts his gaze around the room letting it fall on his mother,
"May we go now mother? I am sure this�" he waved his hand in the air
gesturing "�has made the engagement impossible, besides I do not wish to
marry." Nodoka was visibly shocked at the vehemance of her son but, only let
a slight chiding creep into her voice, "Ranma I understand your dislike of
the situation, but honour demands you marry a Tendou to join the schools
together." Ranma seemed to be considering this as Soun, sensing a moment of
weakness, rushed in and pushed his three daughters before Ranma. "This is
Kasumi age 18, Nabiki age 17, Akane age 16 choose which one you want for
your fiance my boy."
Both Nabiki and Kasumi started to speak only to be interupted by Ranma's
declaration "None of them! I remember you now. You were a disciple of the
master. You have no school anymore to join with the Saotome school. In
fact�" Ranma removed his pack and set it down, pulling out an old wooden
dojo sign with the name 'Tendo School of Anything Goes Martial Arts' carved
into it. "�the whole pledge is fullfilled. I am the master of your school as
well."
