Ranma-kun is Boy-type, and Ranma-chan is girl-type. ' represents thoughts *********** Skuld bit her lip and sighed as she sat down in the dull, empty room. She had waited so long for this day, and all Skuld could do was sit in that room until the phone rang. Skuld perked up as she heard a soft voice calling, "Anyone home?" Skuld ran towards the voice and threw herself into the arms of her older sister, Belldandy. "I thought you would be out until later, onee-sama!" Belldandy replied as she walked in, "Keiichi and Megumi went to work on the motorcycles, and I thought I would come home to keep you company." She walked into the room. Skuld looked after her sister. "No calls yet.." She trailed off and looked down at her hands, realizing she had been twisting a towel in her hands nervously. "Skuld, don't worry. Just remember what we taught you to do, and everything will go just fine! I promise!" Belldandy stood up. "Meanwhile, I'll go cook some lunch." "Belldandy, do you need any help?" Skuld asked, willing to do anything to get her mind off the phone. 'Of course not. Belldandy never needs help in the kitchen.' Belldandy smiled. "It would be best if you wait by the phone, I'll be out with lunch!" Belldandy walked into the kitchen. Skuld sighed again and sat down at the table, stopping to close the door. She put the wrinkled towel on the table and began to wait impatiently. 'I'm just glad Urd isn't here to taunt me.' *********** Ranma-kun was walking home slowly. Kasumi was away, meaning that Akane had cooked. Ranma-kun shuddered. 'Why does that uncute tomboy have to cook? I think I'll just disappear until dinner is over. I-' "RANMA!" A purple-haired girl attached herself to interuppting his thoughts. "Hey--Hey Shampoo!! Get off me!" "Ranma come to eat ramen!!" Shampoo exclaimed, still attached. Ranma-kun stopped trying to get Shampoo off and considered. Akane is cooking tonight, and Ranma-kun would eat Shampoo's ramen anytime. "Sure, Shampoo!" Shampoo beamed with delight and grabbed Ranma-kun's hand. She began to pull Ranma-kun down the street, until Ukyou jumped out of nowhere and glared at Shampoo. "What are you doing with MY Ranma honey?" Then, turning to Ranma-kun, Ukyou said sweetly, "I heard Akane was cooking, and you can come to dinner and have some okonomiyaki with me!" Shampoo glared at Ukyou with sheer malice. "Ranma say he eat ramen for dinner! Ukyou not welcome!" Ukyou turned around to face Shampoo. "No way MY Ranma-honey is going to eat ramen for dinner! He's eating my okonomiyaki!" Ranma-kun backed away from the two girls that were facing off. "I fight for Ranma!" Ukyou smiled, "Why would I need to fight? His heart belongs to me!" Shampoo exclaimed, "What you talk about? Ranma love Shampoo! Ranma no love Ukyou!" Ranma-kun turned around and closed his eyes. He would rather make up an excuse NOT to eat Akane's cooking than watch two girls fight over him. "Hey!" He yelled, "I'm going home to eat!" With that, Ranma-kun jumped up to the fence and ran off in the direction of the Tendo home. Both Shampoo and Ukyou yelled, "WAIT!" But Ranma-kun had already run off. Ukyou turned to Shampoo. "Now look what you've done! You scared my Ranma-honey off!" Shampoo's eyes narrowed, "Shampoo not scare Ranma off. Ukyou scare! Why Ukyou always in Shampoo's way?" A blue chi began to form around Ukyou. "What did you say? Ranma wouldn't run away from me. He would run away from you." Shampoo took a fighting stance. She took a deep breath and released it slowly. She struck at Ukyou, but Mousse had jumped in front of Shampoo, trying to protect her. Mousse slammed into the wall, as Ukyou jumped away. Turning around, she yelled, "Ranma loves me! I'm his fiancee! We'll finish this some other time!" Shampoo shook her fist at Ukyou, as Mousse smiled at Shampoo. "I.. I will protect you Shampoo.." Mousse fainted. Shampoo shook her head at Mousse. "Hiyah, Mousse, you stop try to protect Shampoo! Shampoo can protect herself!" And hauled him back to the Nekohanten. **************** "Where is everyone?" Akane sat alone at a table full of burnt food. She sighed and began to clean up. She admitted to herself, after tasting her food, that she couldn't cook. After scraping the charred remains of noodles off the last plate, Ranma-chan staggered in. Ranma-chan had been so absorbed in his thoughts while running home that he didn't realize it was slightly raining outside, and he was now a She. Thinking no one was home, she dialed out for some food, mumbling how terrible Akane's cooking was. Akane wandered into the room. She was about to greet Ranma-chan when she heard all the things she was saying about her food. Scrunching up her face, she promptly smashed a picture frame over his head, leaving Ranma-chan to fall to the floor, on the phone, dialing the wrong number. Akane picked up the phone from the fallen Ranma-chan, expecting Shampoo or Ukyou to answer. Instead, she heard a quiet little quivering voice saying, "You have reached the Relief Goddess Office. We will be there in just a moment to grant your access request." With a click, the little voice hung up. Akane stood there a moment, wondering what that was about. She put the phone back in the receiver and looked down at Ranma-chan. Shaking her head, she walked off to her room, glancing back once before she closed the door. "Urggh..." Ranma-chan sat up slowly and rubbed her head. Walking into the kitchen, with Ranma-chan hoping of something edible to eat, she leaned against the refrigerator. Folding her arms across her, she began to doze off slightly. Suddenly, the sink faucet turned and cold water began to fill up the sink. Ranma-chan awoke to the sound of the water. Running forward, she bent to turn the water off, but the water began to ripple violently. A beam of light illuminated the water and a young girl began to rise out of the water. Frightened, Ranma-chan stumbled backwards, slipped, and fell to the floor. The girl, had her arms folded across her chest, appeared to be no older than 12 stood on the counter, with her eyes closed. She had strange blue markings on her face, extremely long, black, shiny hair, and carried a mallet. Hopping off the counter, she opened her big brown eyes and announced, "I am Skuld of the Relief Goddess Office! I will grant one wish, and only one! Are you Mr. Ranma Saotome?" Skuld bit her lip. 'Mr.? That's a girl I'm talking to! I should have remembered!' Ranma-chan was still on the floor, staring at Skuld. Her eyes were round as she stumbled to get up. "Y...Y..You're a goddess? I..I.. A wish..? Anything?" Skuld nodded. "Anything!" She held out her hand to help Ranma-chan up. Ranma-chan hesitated to take the girl's hand, but looking into her cheery face, she promptly stuck her hand out and stood up. Walking into the living room, Skuld lifted her hands and a fluffy white couch appeared. Skuld sank into its fuzziness, sighing. Ranma-chan leaned on the side of the couch. "I know what I want to wish for." Skuld leaned forward in surprise. "You.. you do? I..uh.. sure!" 'Belldandy and Urd told me that they usually take more time to decide. Maybe I just didn't pay attention.' "But, please, I can't take back wishes. Make sure it is what you want!" Ranma-chan nodded her head enthusiastically. "Yup! Sure do!! I wish that you would make me stay in this gender forever!!" Ranma-chan said it quickly, not stopping to think about anything else. Skuld stood up and the sofa vanished, sending Ranma-chan to the ground. "I.. I don't understand.." Ranma-chan, having a picture frame smashed over his head, and now landing facefirst into the ground, mumbled, "Just make my wish come true!" Skuld nodded slowly. "Okay.." Placing Ranma-chan in the middle of the room, she cleared the living room and began to draw on the ground. Pulling out a computer, she analyzed the drawings on the floor. "Okay, we're ready to begin!" Skuld raised her arms and began to chant some incantation, pausing only to comment, "Don't move Ranma!" Lights began to shoot up around the circle Skuld had drawn on the ground as she chanted. Akane stepped out of the room, and was instantly entranced by the soft light. "Ranma!" She called out. Ranma-chan opened her eyes and looked at Akane. "Stay there!" After shouting to Akane, Ranma-chan suddenly noticed too late that he was a She! "SKULD! STOP THE SPELL!! I--" Skuld opened her eyes in surprise. Her concentration broken, the glyph on the ground started to absorb the light. Ranma-chan lunged forward, attempting to reach Skuld and Akane to protect them. The glyph sent out the light in one blast, throwing Akane, Ranma-chan, and Skuld to the ground. ******************* Keep checking back for Part II.. which is coming soon! http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Temple/4740/fanfic.html Comments?
