Sister School Disclaimer: Ranma ½ is owned by the awesomeness that is Rumiko Takahashi. Chapter 1: With Every Death, There is Rebirth Deep in the Bayankala Valley in China, there was a land of cursed springs. No one dared to attempt to go there, for fear of getting cursed. However, a father was bringing his two sons stupidly to the training grounds. The father's name was Genma Saotome. He didn't read a word of Chinese, though pretended to to fool the two teenagers trailing behind him. The person in the middle was Ranma Saotome, a devoted martial artist who spent most of his life training with his dad. He always wore his black hair in a pigtail. The person trailing behind the two was Ranma's adopted brother, Adam. They found him about a year after their training trip started. Genma didn't want the extra mouth to feed, but Ranma insisted since he was just lying on the side of the road. Adam had shorter black hair, but was built similarly to his brother. After about an hour of walking through the rocky valley they reached their destination. "Here we are boys, Jusenkyo!" Genma announced. They went to the entrance and there was a guide there who was waiting for more visitors. "Here sirs, we come to famous training ground of cursed springs, Jusenkyo." the guide said in broken Japanese. "Are you prepared boys?" Genma asked. "You call this a training ground? This ain't nearly as bad as I thought." Ranma said as he put his backpack down. The three men each jumped onto their own respective bamboo shoots. "Wait, sirs, I not finish my tragic story!" the guide called to them. Adam unsheathed his weapons of choice. While Ranma was mostly devoted to fist fighting, Adam trained himself in dual swordplay. His style was holding the swords inverted, as if they were extra long daggers. "Don't expect me to go easy on you two." Genma called to them. "That's just the way I like it!" Ranma said as he jumped into an attack. Adam just decided to jump over to an isolated pole, waiting for his turn to spar. "Please, sirs, very bad you fall in spring!" the guide yelled to them. Adam was worried, why would it be that bad to touch water? Ranma knocked his dad down with his feet in midair, and Genma flew down into the water. Ranma landed, "Hey pop, you give up yet?" Adam leaned over to look at the pool where his dad fell. A small whirlpool was forming, what was going on? Suddenly, a giant and very angry panda jumped out of the water and landed on a pole. Ranma and Adam screamed at the sight of it. "What the hell is that?" Ranma called to the guide. The guide pulled a sign out, "Ah, that one Shanmaonnichuann, Spring of Drowned Panda. There very tragic legend of panda who drown one thousand five hundred year ago. Now whoever fall in spring take body of panda." "Hey buddy, you never said anything about that!" Ranma yelled at him. Genma immediately jumped over to the pole Ranma was on and knocked him towards Adam. They both fell into the pool directly underneath them. The two brothers felt their bodies writhe in agony, they were somehow shape shifting. They wanted death, for it was better than the pain they were feeling. After a few seconds they both surfaced and felt the air sting their damp faces. The guide ran over to them, "Oh dear, you fall into Nyannichuann, Spring of Drowned Girl. There very tragic legend of young girl who drown in spring one thousand year ago. Now whoever fall in spring take a body of a young girl." Adam looked to where his brother was, but instead he only saw a small red-haired girl. Ranma looked towards his brother, but only saw a girl with long black hair. They both had the look of fear, pure, unadulterated horror. "R...Ranma?" Adam asked the girl next to him. "Adam?" Ranma called to her. They both reached down at their chests, there was something there that they knew wasn't supposed to be there. Adam squeezed, "Oh god, oh god, oh god" she said over and over. Ranma ripped open her shirt and found two large supple breasts. The two sisters screamed an ear shattering scream. The guide saw this, "See? Now you young girl." They both climbed out of the spring. "Is...Is there anyway for us to be men again?" Adam asked. The guide sadly shook his head. "No, anything that fall in spring take body of it forever." Genma immediately tried sneaking off, fearing that there would be a retaliation. And sure enough, "BAKA OYAJI!" Both girls yelled as they kicked the panda sky high. Ranma got down on her knees and started crying, "What are we gonna do now?" "Well, I say we stop traveling with the idiot panda. That much is certain." "But where will we go?" "Well...do you know where our mother lives?" "Our...mother? No I don't." "Well, we'll just have to find her then, come on, we should get going." The guide went back to his house, he sighed in grief. 'They girls now because of stupid father.' he thought. The two girls picked up their backpacks and began their journey back to Japan. On the way they found a village of Chinese Amazon Warriors. They felt a little out of place since the Amazons all saw women as the superior gender. They met the leader of the clan, Cologne, who looked like a shriveled frog on a pogo stick. She examined the two girls, "Hmm, let me guess, you two are men who fell into Nyannichuann." she said in perfect Japanese. "How did you know exactly?" Adam asked. "I can sense your female ki is very new. Beneath that large shroud of female ki is a male battle aura." "So, there's a cure?" Ranma asked desperately. Cologne hung her head and shook it, "Sadly no, Jusenkyo has no known cure for cursed victims. There is the Spring of Drowned Man, but that would just combine with your female curse and you'd just be a transvestite." Both of the girls shuddered. After they talked to Cologne they met her great granddaughter, Shampoo, who was training in her martial arts. Ranma decided to challenge her to a friendly match, just for training. "Shampoo accept challenge." "It's not a challenge, I just wanna see how good you are." Ranma said. "Fine, Shampoo accept, maybe you be Shampoo's friend?" "Okay." Ranma beat Shampoo with a single move. It was thoroughly humiliating for the young Amazon, but she just laughed it off, "You too too good Ranma. You be Joketzusoku warrior yes?" "Well, me and my bro...sister gotta get going soon, but we're still friends right?" Shampoo nodded. Afterwards, they rested at the tent that Cologne gave them. They were both lost in their thoughts. "Hey Ranma." "Yeah?" "I just realized, I need a new name. Adam isn't really a girl's name." "Good point. What do you have in mind?" "How about Eve. It makes sense. My female alter ego, my significant other." "You're naming yourself on a biblical level." "Yep, what do ya think?" "Not bad, is Ranma an okay girl's name?" "Yeah, you should be fine." "Thanks, good night Eve." "Good night sis." The next morning, Cologne had the local translator, a boy about their age named Mousse, lead them to the port where they could go back to Japan. Cologne also recommended Shampoo go too. Shampoo agreed, hoping she might learn more techniques and Japanese language. Before they left, Cologne helped them gather supplies for their trip. "I can't thank you enough, Kind Elder." Eve said as she bowed. "You don't need to thank me. The Joketsuzoku tribe does its best to help those who have been cursed. And in return, we make you two honorary members of the tribe." "What does that entail?" "Just that whenever there's an act of war, you will aid us in battle." "Oh, okay. Of course we'll help you anyway we can." "Good, now you two got a boat to catch." They were now walking down the mountain trail back to the east coast. On the way they passed a young man with black hair under a yellow and black bandanna. As they passed him he stopped and turned to Ranma, "Um, excuse me miss, I'm looking for Jusenkyo. Do you know where it is?" "Why do you wanna go to Jusenkyo?" "I'm looking for my old rival, Ranma Saotome. He walked out on our fight all those years ago and I'm gonna make him pay." "Walked out on a fight? What's your name again?" "I didn't tell you my name, but it's Ryoga Hibiki." "Oh, Ryoga. I remember you now." "Do I know you from somewhere miss?" "Um, sorta. Ryoga, I'm Ranma Saotome." "What? You can't be Ranma, Ranma's a boy." Ranma then went into full detail about how she and her brother both turned into girls. Ryoga looked shocked, "Wow, Ranma, I had no idea." "So, you still wanna fight?" "No, I think you've been embarrassed enough. I don't hold a grudge against you anymore." "You're a saint." Eve said sarcastically. In the end, Ryoga decided to head back to Japan with them, giving Ranma and Ryoga a chance to reconcile. They continued traveling for about two weeks. They all got along pretty well, despite Ranma and Ryoga's past. Eve remembered why Ryoga was mad. During the short amount of time that she and her sister were boys and went to school, Ryoga was the only classmate that could match their martial arts skills. Ryoga challenged Ranma to a match one day at the vacant lot behind his house. Ranma waited at the lot for three days and Ryoga didn't show. Ryoga said he did show up after the fourth day, but he got lost due to his poor sense of direction. Ryoga swore vengeance against Ranma for backing out of a man to man agreement. After two weeks they finally reached a port on the east coast. Cologne sent a message to two Amazons that lived in the port to charter a ship for them. They spent the night in a local inn before they could ship out. Eve, Ranma, and Shampoo all got flirted with by a bunch of drunk sailors and thugs. They will be missed. The next morning, Eve, Ranma, and Ryoga were ready to step on the ship and leave for Japan. But first, "Shampoo," Eve said, "I can't thank you, Mousse, and your grandmother for all of your help." "Is no problem for fellow Amazon Warrior and good friend." The three of them hugged the two Amazons and got on the ship. The captain pulled the anchor up and ship set out. They were heading home.
