A/N if you really want a disclaimer there is one on my profile. Okay this is a Ranma/Akane fic my first one actually. It is not a happy fic. If you want a happy fic read THE HAPPI FIC. It on some website and I don’t think it’s about a pleasant emotion.

READ THIS: Yo okay this is a story before Nodoka finds out about Ranma’s curse. For this story she will live at her own house after she finds out. It will serve a purpose later on in the story.

Ranma was doing something he does quite often. He was finding his way back to the Tendo Dojo after being malleted to LEO. (Lower Earth Orbit) “Damn Tomboy that mallet hurts.” As he was walking down the street a shop caught his eyes. “Juusenkyo Chop Block and Stop”

Ranma entered the shop to see what was going on inside. There was a chime as the door opened. “Hello mister customer what brings you to my humble shop?”

“Yah umm I fell in the nyannichuan well in Juusenkyo. Is there anything you can do to help me get rid of my curse?””

“Well there is one thing but it would be painful. Can you handle the pain it will be beyond comparison?”

“I can take it BELIVE IT!” (Thank-you Naruto)

“Okay mister customer, come with me to the back room.”

Ranma and the old Chinese man walked into the back room. There was a lake there and a bunch of assorted pipes. “Okay mister customer step in the water and ill put the chop water on.

Ranma stepped into the water. The Chinese man twisted the top on a pipe. The water landed on Ranma. He was screaming in agony. The pain was the worst thing he had ever felt. His curse was being pulled from his body. He could feel the molecules splitting on his skin. After he saw his curse form standing beside him, the both collapsed rather it be from exhaustion or shock.

Ranma-Kun and Ranma-Chan woke up at about the same time. Ranma-Chan looked at her other half. Than she looked at him. “OLD MAN GET IN HERE NOW!” The man ran in.

“What’s the matter mister customer?”

“WHY AM I IN THE GIRL BODY I SHOULD BE IN MY BIRTH FORM?”

“Well you see we can’t create another mind so we copied yours. You and him are basically clones you just have different bodies. There is no telling who the original is.”

Ranma-Chan started to cry. Ranma-Kun walked over and hugged her. “It’s alright sis, im here for you.” She started to cry into his shoulder.

“It’s over no matter what I do. I can not marry Akane. My manhood is lost.”

“I know im you remember. I don’t know what I would do if I was in your place either. But remember Ranma Saotome doesn’t give up. Come on come with me to the Tendo Dojo Sis.”

“Sis, im not your sister I am just a curse.”

“What should we call you from now on then?”

“How about Tendo Ranko. That makes it easier the next time mo… auntie Saotome comes over.”

Ranma and Ranko walked home. Ranko didn’t stop crying all the way there.

Akane walked into the house. “Hello Kasumi is the baka home yet?”

Just then they heard someone come into the dojo crying. They recognized the sobbing as Ranma’s and ran out to see her. They saw a Male Ranma holding a female Ranma around the shoulder.

“Hey Akane uhh… my curse is cured but it had a side affect.”

Akane just nodded in surprised.

Soun, Genma, Nabiki, and Kasumi were all called to the living room to explain what had happened. “Okay were to start, hmm… We were walking home after Akane malleted us into LEO (Lower Earth Orbit) and we saw a shop. It specialized in curing Juusenkyo curses. The owner told us he could split my curse. She wound up with my female body. Since they could not make a mind for her they copied mine so she is in every way except body me. We decided to call her Tendo Ranko since it will be easier when mom comes by next time. Yah pop we don’t have to worry about Seppuku anymore.”

Ranko awoke and was sad. She was no longer really alive. No one cared about her anymore. “Auntie” was coming to see her son tomorrow. She walked downstairs towards the living room. She saw Nabiki with photographs of her. Figures Nabiki has been taking more and more photos lately.

Ranma came down stairs holding hands with Akane. Ever since he was cured the two had become closer. They were ready to be married anytime now. They would even kiss in public. Of course Ranko was rejected. She asked Akane to go out for ice cream once. Akane just ignored her and went and started to visit with Ranma. Two weeks. It has been two weeks since she was “Born” and over that time she learned to hate life.

Kasumi was busy with Akane’s bridal training. When she was not training Akane she would only tell Ranko to be more lady-like. Can she not see that I am a man, not a little girl? This is pathetic. She was now a little girl, and not worthy of there time.

Soun basically ignored her. She was no longer heir to the school. She was a freeloading “Cousin” of the Tendo family. Soun would go out of his way to make sure she didn’t have contact with him. Ignoring her, and generally just being rude.

Genma had to be the worst. Since Ranma was now a whole man, he was now worthy to learn the forbidden techniques. When Ranko asked if she could learn them Genma replied coldly. These are Saotome techniques. You are not my child or of the Saotome clan. Go away little girl.

She walked away from the table and went to school. She was still deep in thought. No one cared though. Well actually one person cared. Her friend was from the least likely of people. Happosai, after he saw her crying on the roof he comforted her. Telling her it would be alright and he would stop bothering her. He was constantly being nice to her on all occasions. He never groped her anymore.

“Goodbye Ranko-Chan, have a nice day at school.”

“Cya later master Happosai.”

Ranko walked to school. It was no big deal she always did. Ranma walked with Akane hand in hand all the time. When she got there all the boys started hitting on her. It was annoying. Of course the girls talked behind her back.

“Look at her she just loves the attention.”

“She’s really Ranma so she probably goes in our change room just to get a free show.”

Then she heard Ukyou talking about her. She hated Ukyou with a passion now. She was the worst of all the people that didn’t accept her. When she was reintroduced to her so called best friend Ukyou did something no one deserved.

Flash Back

“So you’re Tendo Ranko.”

“Hai Ucchan.” Ukyou walked up to her and punched her in the cheek.

“GET OUT OF HERE YOU BITHC. NOW THAT RANMA IS CURED HE AND AKANE ARE TOGETHER. WITH YOU AND HIM AS ONE AKANE WASN’T SURE IF SHE COULD ACCEPT HIM. YOU RUINED MY CHANCES.

END FLASHBACK

“There goes that bitch now.” Ukyou said to one of the girls.

Ranko just ignored her. No one cared about Ranko anymore. Kuno even gave up on her because Ranma took Akane. He was now more than ever determined to “Set her free.”

Shampoo was now back to hunting the girl who bested her in combat. She knew she could not have Ranma and so she had to kill me. Cologne left, so now Mousse and Shampoo attacked her daily.

Ryoga was on to attacking her. Akane made him and Ranma forgive and forget about certain school events and grudges. Of course he never forgave the girl who knocked him into the spring of drowned piglet. Ryoga attacked her a lot lately.

Ranko went to class were the day seemed to drag on. She went home and started to practice her martial arts after school. It was the only time she was happy anymore. After super she took a quick bath and went to bed. She hoped Auntie Saotome would brighten her day. Little did she know that tomorrow would be the worst day yet!

It was mid afternoon when auntie Saotome arrived. She and Ranma spent the day together; he was able to call her mother. As happy as she was for Nodoka it pained her to see that she would never have her mother back. Nodoka spent every second of that week she stayed with Ranma.

When she left she said goodbye to Ranko. She invited Ranko to visit once in a while it was boring at home. She said maybe and Nodoka left. Ranko ran to her bridge to think. Nodoka wanted Ranma to return with her but since he got along so well with Akane she decided against it. Ranko cried for a good long time before returning home and going to bed.

The days went on and Ranko grew more and more depressed. She even beat Ryoga by over powering his shi shi hokodan with one of her own. She was slowly losing herself. Genma was being the rudest he ever had been. He was ordering her around. When she asked if Genma recognized her as his daughter he blew up in he face. “I HAVE NO DAUGHTER AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED I DON’T KNOW YOU, YOU WERE NEVER BORN.”

Then one day her only friend left. Happosai left after Ranma beat him. She tried to get him to stay but he refused saying he had to go liberate the silky darlings elsewhere. Ranko cried for hours after he left.

Another low point is when Nodoka came over to celebrate the birthday of Ranko and Ranma. She was the only one who got Ranko a present. It was a formal kimono; it looked just like her kimono. Nabiki gave her a bill for slowing her to eat some of the cake she purchased for Ranma.

After another week of hell she couldn’t take it anymore. She went to her favorite bridge. She hung the noose along the railing and tied it around her neck. She jumped her feet dangling a few inches from the ground. Her breath was leaving her body and she was feeling dizzy.

Nodoka was on her way to visit her son at the Tendo dojo again. She was spending more and more time there. She walked by a bridge and saw someone jump off and try to hang them self. She quickly pulled out her Katana and Ran for the figure. In a few quick motions she didn’t know she was capable of she cut of the noose and the small figure fell to the ground. It was none other than Tendo Ranko.

“RANKO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING”

“Saotome cough cough san I’m cough ending my pain.”

“WHAT, WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY WONT THEY BE WORRIED ABOUT YOU?”

“I have no cough family. No one cares about me. No one cares if I die.”

“What about the Tendos Ranma Genma and myself. We care about you.

Ranko caught her breath at this time. “Let me tell you a story about how I was born and you will see no one cares about me.”

“My original name was Saotome Ranma. I was trained by one Saotome Genma for ten years before coming to Nermia. One of our last stops was in Juusenkyo China. There I fell in the Nyannichuan and when splashed with water changed into a girl. Hot water changed me back. I was cursed so I couldn’t live up to your contract. I hid as Ranko and pops as mister Panda when you came around. I lived a lie to stay away from death. One day I found a shop that could cure me. I went in and my cursed form and body was split. I was still Ranma Saotome, but outside, outside I was a freak. Since I had no spirit, soul, mind or anything like that of my own, I became an exact copy of Ranma in every way. When me and Ranma returned to the Dojo I was rejected, forced to live as Tendo Ranko. Akane and Ranma ignored me. Nabiki took pictures of my naked well I was asleep and sold them. Soun and Kasumi ignored me. My own bastard father said I was no longer his child. He no longer acknowledges me as such. I am the daughter of a deceased family who is not worthy of anyone’s time. The people at school rejected me because I used to be a man. The boys hit on me and the girls talked about me behind my back. Even my best friend Ukyou called me a bitch and punched.” At this point Ranko was crying. Nodoka was also on the verge of crying.

“Ranko how is this possible?”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe. I wouldn’t lie over something as serious as this. Besides im gonna die as soon as you leave/”

Nodoka was crying now and gave Ranko a hug. “Ranko come with me live at my place im sure you’ll be accepted at the high school by my home. Come, be a Saotome again. Return with me to the Dojo.”

“ABSOLUTLEY NO FUCKING WAY!” I AM NEVER GOING BACK. IM GONNA KILL MYSELF AND MY PAIN WILL BE OVER.”

“Ranko don’t at least try and live again. Even if you move away, I don’t want you to kill yourself.”

Ranko thought for a few minutes. Then she told her mother. “Saotome-san ill live on my own but if in one year im not happy again ill kill myself. Goodbye Saotome-san it was nice to level with you. Don’t come looking for me. I will never see you again…” With that Ranko ran off.

Nodoka was pissed. She marched straight to the Dojo. She walked in and the family was eating breakfast. “Genma dear come out to the dojo NOW!” Genma reluctantly followed.

“Husband dearest I was on my way here this morning and do you know what I saw?”

“Uh no uhh… No-Chan.”

“I saw little Ranko-Chan trying to hang herself. Do you know why she would be doing that?”

“No, I don’t why does this concern me?”

“I STOPPED HER AND WE HAD A LITTLE CHAT. SHE TOLD ME ABOUT THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AND HOW YOU ABANDONED YOUR OWN CHILD!”

“She aint my child. I never had a daughter.”

“DON’T GIVE ME THAT YOU BASTARD SHE TOLD ME HOW SHE SPLIT FROM RANMA. HOW NONE OF YOU NOT EVEN KASUMI ACCEPTED HER. HOW YOU REFUSED TO ACCEPT HER AS YOUR CHILD. YOU FAT BASTARD YOU ABONDONED YOUR CHILD. SHE TOLD ME HAPPOSAI WAS THE ONLY ONE EVER NICE TO HER WITHOUT WANTING SOMETHING IN RETURN. YOU’RE LUCKY I DON’T KILL YOU NOW!”

“But No-Chan she was just a freak caused by a cure gone wrong.”

At this Nodoka pulled out her Katana. “DON’T EVER SAY THAT ABOUT MY LITTLE GIRL AGAIN. SHE WANTED TO KILL HERSELF AND NONE OF YOU WOULD HAVE STOPED HER. SHE TOLD ME HOW HER OWN BEST FRIEND UKYOU CALLED HER NAMES AND HIT HER. KASUMI, SOUN, RANMA. AND AKANE IGNORED HER. NABIKI VIOLATED HER AND BLACKMAILED HER. YOU ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED SHE WANTED TO END HER LIFE.

The Tendo family entered sometime ago to try to hear what was going on. Soun spoke up. “We gave her a home, a place to stay, food to eat from the goodness of our hea…”

Nodoka cut him off. “SOME HOME SHE WANTED TO KILL HERSELF. SHE TRIED TO HANG HERSELF AND END HER LIFE. SHE WOULD RATHER OF FACED HELL THAN YOUR FAMILY AND HOME. IM ESPECIALLY DISSAPOINTED IN YOU RANMA, YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH. PERHAPS I WAS TO HASTY IN ACCEPTING YOU AS A MAN AMONG MEN. YOU LIED TO ME AND IGNORED YOUR SISTER. GENMA ABONDONED HER, YOU TURNED HER BACK ON HER ALL OF YOU. SHE MOVED AWAY SHE IS GIVING IT ONE MORE YEAR AND SHE WILL DECIDE TO LIVE OR NOT. GENMA WE ARE GETTING DEVORCED. I HATE YOU BASTARD!”

One year later Nodoka was sitting at home, she was reading the news paper. She started crying when she acknowledged the headline. She read local resident Tendo Ranko committed suicide last night. She hung herself in her apartment and was found a few hours later by the land lord.

Nodoka walked over to the mail box. She found a letter addressed to her. It read to Saotome-San from Ranko.

Dear Saotome-San

If you are reading this I am no longer alive. I am of the dead now and facing Hell. Hell is better than life. Over the last year I made no friends. The men continued to hit on me and the women rejected me. When I continued school I was not to bright. Since the curse is Chinese I could sometimes here the teachers call me a dirty gaijin. They rejected me and I never spent a night not crying. Show this to the authorities to get my ashes.

Happosai is going to visit you soon. I called him up. In my will I left him my panties. They can be found in the drawer in my closet. I left you everything else. I sold all I could and there is a check at the bottom for a couple thousand yen. I am sorry I never got to see you again. I will miss you mom. You and Happosai were the only ones who were there for me. I heard that Ranma and Akane are married now. I also know you divorced Genma. I hope you find a way to live happily. Goodbye mother.

Ranko
