Soul Searching
By: Awlric Hayell
Disclaimer: I do not own Saotome Ranma. He/She belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. Hatori Ohka Does belong to me, though. He is my OOCOC.
A/N: Well, as you know, I am unlikely to ever finish this story past what I have written on hard-copy (which is actually a fair amount). I was hoping to post this on Anime Addventure sometime andlet the talented writers there finish it, But I leave this open. If anyone wishes to use this story, feel free to do so. I would be much obliged. And one more thing that I forgot to mention. This is a slight AU in that, while Ranma has Defeated Saffron, Nodoka doesn’t know about the curse...or does she?
Chapter 2: Trials of a Panda Man
“Ranma-kun Saotome-san ” Kasumi called from the door. “Dinner is ready ”
“Awright, food And not just any food, Kasumi’s food ” Ranma paused for a moment to prepare himself for the heaven on Earth that was Kasumi’s cooking. Quickly, he leapt down from the roof in order to head off his father, who, surprisingly, wasn’t there to fling him aside into the koi pond. Ranma blinked. “What the-? Where the hell’d Pops go?” He snorted in derision. “Che. Baka Panda. More for me I guess.” With that, Ranma dashed inside to prepare himself for a large slice of ambrosia known as Tendou Kasumi’s homemade dinner.

“Ranma-kun Saotome-san Dinner is ready ”
Saotome Genma, Father of Saotome Ranma, Student of Happosai (Genma: Don’t say that name ), Creator and sealer of the Umi- and Yama-senken Forbidden Arts, and all around idiot, didn’t have much on his mind. As a matter of fact, his thought process in the 5 seconds from Kasumi’s call were thus:
1. (Before the call) Ranma must wed Akane and insure my easy retirement 2.(After the call) Foooood 3. Food Kasumi’s delicous meals Sweet nectar of the Gods 4. Hey, is that No-chan coming around the corner? 5. Oh crap No-chan
Genma, so close to sweet, perfection induced bliss, screeched to a near halt and turned to run the other way, scrambling to find some cold water when-
“Genma?”
Nodoka spotted him. He froze, not wanting to look back, but to scared to continue forward. “H-hai, No-chan?”
Behind him, Nodoka smiled. “I’ve been looking for you. Do you mind informing me of what has become of my son? Is he manly yet?”
Genma gulped. “Why, of course, No-chan I’m just..um...going to get him Yeah, that’s it ”
As he was about to run off, he heard an ominous sound. SHFF The sound of the family-honor sword being uncovered. Slowly, he turned. Nodoka was still smiling but it held an incredible chill to it. Like she knew something he did not. Like she found out about...oh...well, he’s screwed. Let’s check in on the hero of our story, shall we?
“My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I’m going to be Hokage Ya damn well better believe it, ‘cause if ya don’t, I’ll kick yer ass ”
Whoops. Wrong anime.
“Yessss, my precioussss...”
Sheesh, not even close to Japan. And he ain’t a hero
“I’m Sailor Moon and in the name of the Moon, I’ll punish you ”
This is not a magical girl crossover (as of yet, anyways...dun dun duuuuun)
“OSUWARI ”
“OW DAMMIT WOMAN WHAT WAS THAT FOR ? ”
Right manga-ka, wrong manga.
Well, maybe later. Back to Genma.
“N-N-N-N-No-chan...”
Nodoka stared blankly at Genma before phasing out in a blur. Genma eeped at the feel of cold metal on his skin and suppressed the urge to jump. How did Nodoka get so fast ? From the shadows behind him emerged a Nodoka not often seen by many. A seriously pissed Nodoka. “Genma, I do not appreciate being lied to. Where is Ranma? Or perhaps you would prefer if I said it this way.” She mimicked herself mockingly. “Panda-san, Panda-san, Do you know where-"
