"Master I have failed you. I'm so sorry." The crying girl was flying through the air at an incredibly fast speed. Her master had failed and he had been sealed into stone in the form of his guardian spirit by that murderous bandit king. Her current dilemma was caused by the humanoid snake like monster that said bandit employed. She had finally achieved the pinnacle of any Egyptian wizard and called forth her guardian to protect her master's stone from the bandit, but she was swatted aside and then punted through the air by the beast. She flew through the air for a long time until she started to rapidly descend. She could see pools below her in a valley. Her guardian spirit tried to fuse with her just as they hit the water...

5000 years later...

"What the hell is that?" A teen with black hair and a pig tail stared at the giant panda that had come out of the pool where his father had fallen in.

A portly man in a green military uniform approached and held out a sign while explaining. "Oh, customer unlucky. Fall in spring drowned panda, tragic tale of panda drowned 1300 year ago. Now whoever fall in spring take form of panda."

"That's insane!" The teen didn't notice the panda as he was paying attention to the guide. This cost him as the panda caught the teen in the gut and tossed him back into a spring.

"Oh no customer fall in spring of... Hmm, don't know if that spring cursed with form yet. Hope not blank spring, no had death here in past 400 years. No wish that on young customer."

The spring frothed for a moment before something breached the surface. A figure sat in the spring wearing strange blue and pink body armor with a blue, funnel-like hat and a pentagram pendant. The figure sat there stunned for a moment before looking down at its reflection. Blue eyes, long blonde hair, rosy cheeks, and ample breasts were the first things noticed by the figure.

She let out a high pitched squeal of anger. "Pops, ya better run cuz I'm going to roast ya if you don't!"

Suffice to say, the panda ran as an angry teenage girl flew after him. She didn't even realize that she was flying.

The guide shuddered as he dragged the panda into his house. He didn't know exactly what the young customer had become but it had to be a powerful witch or sorceress. She flew around and somehow pulled a large gnarled wand out of nowhere and started firing off shots of some kind of magic at her father. He did not want to be on her bad side.

The new girl then walked into the hut. "Alright, now explain why ya stopped me from skinnin him."

The guide nodded his head and immediately removed a kettle of boiling water off of the stove. "Water change form yes. Well, hot water change back."

The man poured the hot water over the panda and it changed back into Genma's human form. "Ow, that's hot. Why'd ya beat yer old man like that Ranma? See, we can change back."

The guide shook his head. "No Mr. customer, curse permanent. Cold water take form panda, hot water return to original form. Would young customer like hot water?"

Ranma snatched the hot water out of the guide's hands and poured it over herself. Nothing changed. She turned on the guide and he held up his hands. "No hurt. I no know why this happen. No know what spring was either. It not spring drowned girl. Maybe Amazon elders know. We go see yes.?"

Ranma looked at the guide and narrowed her eyes. "Alright, let's go. I wanna change back and if they know then we're gonna find out."

Shampoo smirked as her opponent fell off the log. She had finally won. Her win not only guaranteed her the feast and title of village champion, but also earned her right to have her guardian spirit unlocked by the elders. She would... Why is there a girl and a panda eating the prize?

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Ranma groaned as they trekked through the forest. She had finally willed away the body armor that she had been wearing somehow and was now wearing her old clothes. Three days with no food and little water. How far was this village? She then spotted smoke close by. A large blur ran past her and towards the smoke. It was her father. "Hey, wait up! I smell food and I know you're gonna eat it all! If ya do, I'll really kill ya."

Ranma ran after the panda and found him eating at a table loaded with food. She ignored all of the people staring and dug into the food. It was so good after three days of nothing. Her feast was shattered literally as a bonborri fell on the table. [Who are you to eat my food outsider?]

Ranma looked up to see a purple-haired girl staring angrily at her. "What? I was starving and there was food here?"

The purple-haired girl snarled at her. "That Shampoo food. Prize for fighting contest. No belong to outsider!"

Ranma looked between Shampoo and the food. "So, if I win in a duel, I get the food?"

Shampoo smiled viciously. She would beat the outsider to a pulp for her insolence. That would teach this girl to talk back to her better. "Yes. Fight on log. First fall off lose. Let duel!"

Ranma shrugged and flipped onto the log as did Shampoo. The air seemed to darken some but neither Ranma or Shampoo paid attention to it. Ranma didn't take a stance as Shampoo took out her bonborri. Shampoo lunged at Ranma but missed as Ranma slid around the attack. Shampoo charged again and tried to hit the girl in rapid succession with the bonborri, but Ranma just seemed to float around all of the attacks. Ranma then swung around and tripped Shampoo so she fell off the log and fall face first into the dirt.

Shampoo whirled around on Ranma with an angry scowl on her face. Ranma backed up but the girl lunged at her and kissed her.

The guide's eyes widened and he grabbed Ranma. "Sir, need be running. That Amazon kiss of death. Now she hunt you end of earth to kill you."

Ranma's and Genma's eyes widened as Shampoo and an angry mob of Amazons started to come towards them with sharp swords. The panda held up a sign. 'Boy! It's time to run.'

Genma and Ranma ran for their lives as angry Amazons chased after them.

A shriveled, elderly woman hopping on a cane approached the scene of the disturbance and shook her head at the mess. [Impetuous youth.] She then noticed the guide nearby. [What has gone on here Po Ta?]

The guide shifted a little and sweated. He was responsible for bringing the outsiders here. [I brought some Jusenkyou cursed men here for help. One in particular honored elder Kuh Lon.]

Cologne (Kuh Lon) raised an eyebrow. [One in particular. What was special about one of them?]

The guide rubbed the back of his neck. [The young man fell into a spring with an unknown curse. When he came out, he was a girl and was wearing strange blue and pink armor. She then flew in the air while attacking her father who was cursed to turn into a panda. She also summoned a gnarled staff and started firing off some kind of powerful magic at her father. When I calmed her down, the armor and the staff disappeared. I took them back to my hut to get hot water but hot water did not work on the young customer so he remain a she. That's why I brought them here.]

Cologne nodded her head. It wasn't impossible for a curse to lock, just improbable for it to lock from the get go. The power the girl held was also of interest. [Go on.]

The guide looked nervous. [We were tired and hungry when we got here because we had nothing to eat for three days. The customers saw the food and nothing else. They ran over and started eating. The panda ate the most though.]

Cologne sighed. She knew where this was going. [Shan Pu challenged the young one to a duel on the log. The customer stated that the stake for the duel was the food. They fought and Shan Pu lost. Shan Pu gave her the Kiss of Death and the customers fled.]

Cologne groaned. It wasn't illegal for an Amazon to give the Kiss of Death in this case. It was just not favorably looked upon when there was a stated stake for a normal duel. It was then that something pulled on the navel of the elder. Kuh Lon, I sense wisps of a shadow duel and a guardian spirit not known to me.

Cologne's heart nearly stopped at those words. Her guardian spirit's words sank into her like a steel trap. A shadow duel and a guardian spirit? Can you divine whose they are?

The spirit hissed for a moment before speaking. I believe it is the one she fought on the log. The stated goal for the duel was the food on the table. The stranger won the duel and the right to all the food. The stranger was denied the rest of her prize as Shan Pu and the others attacked. By the rights of the shadow duel, Shan Pu's soul now belongs to that girl since she denied the girl her prize. Worse yet your young heir has declared to kill her new master. When her sword plunges into her new master, she will be the one to die instead.

Cologne's grip dug into her staff. How could her heir be so stupid? She knew that she had given the girl some spiritual training and that she should have recognized the beginning of a shadow duel. The only thing she could think of was that the girl had been too prideful and forgotten her surroundings. Cologne turned to the guide. [Tell me everything about the outsiders Po Ta. I need to get to them before Shan Pu does.]

A girl with blonde hair was floating in a lotus position beside a giant hulking panda. "So why are we here again?"

The panda held up a sign. 'My old training partner lives here.' Flip. 'Our school was split into two parts.' Flip. 'It would do you good to see the other half.'

Ranma raised an eyebrow. "And why didn't we do this before now? I mean ten years learning one half of a school. Do I gotta go another ten years to learn this one too? And why aren't we looking for a cure? I mean ain't that more important. I ain't gotta remind ya of what happened last month do I. What was that anyways?"

Genma-panda shuddered and then harrumphed for a moment before pulling out a sign. 'No, Soun's style should be easier.' Flip. 'We can always go on short training missions to look for cures.' Flip. 'Nothing happened last month.' Flip. 'Remember you're a man!'

Ranma got red in the face. Nothing happened. NOTHING HAPPENED! "Nothing happened! So the whole emotional roller coaster and that pain and... anyways that won't nothing old man! If ya don't tell me what it was, then I'm gonna beat it out of you cuz I know you know something!"

The panda ducked as a foot flew through the space its head had been. A fist then connected with his stomach and he hit a fence hard. "Serves ya right old man! I'm going back to China."

Ranma turned and stomped off, but didn't notice that the panda had gotten back up and grabbed a sign post. The panda swung the sign post down over Ranma's head. Ranma hit the ground unconscious and the panda scooped her up. It then turned and growled at the onlookers before running off.

"Kasumi, Nabiki, Akane come here! I have great news!" Soun Tendo was waving a postcard in his hand as he entered the room. Nabiki was the first to arrive down the stairs.

"What's got you so excited daddy?" It had been a long time since she had seen her father this excited. It was probably something she wasn't going to like.

Soun turned to Nabiki smiling. "Get Akane and Kasumi. You all need to hear this." He then marched to the dining room. Nabiki rolled her eyes. Kasumi would be there in a moment anyways thanks to his shouting and Akane would be in the dojo.

Nabiki walked off to the dojo to get Akane only to find her headed back to the house wiping away her sweat with a towel. "Hey Akane, daddy wants us in the dining room. He's got an announcement to make."

"Okay, I wonder what it is?" Nabiki shook her head as she and Akane walked into the dining room. They sat down next to Kasumi and faced their father.

Soun held up a postcard with the picture of a panda on it. "Good news. My friend Genma and his son are coming here today. They just got done training in China and have come back to Japan."

"And what's so important about that daddy?" Nabiki knew the other shoe was going to drop. Her father really didn't have any friends that she knew of that ever got him this excited.

His smile widened as he set the postcard on the table. "I trained with him in my youth. We each practiced Anything Goes. In order to join the branches of our schools, we made a pact that our children would marry."

Everything was silent for a moment and then all hell broke loose.

"What? How could you engage us to some pervert?"

"Oh my! I hope he's older."

"Daddy how could you do this?" Internally Nabiki was scheming. I hope they're rich. They did go to China. Maybe I should wear a yukata just in case.

Nabiki slipped out of the room as the arguments became more heated between Akane and her father.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

The doorbell range and Soun rushed to the door with Nabiki tagging behind him. She was now sporting a light blue yukata and was hoping that, whoever the guy was, he was handsome. Soun flung the door open only to gawk as a giant panda pushed its way into the house with a person kicking and screaming in its arms. "Let me go pop. You're scaring them spit-less!"

The giant panda set the person down in front of Soun who looked at the person. "Ranma?"

The person looked nervous. "Uh yeah."

Soun rushed forward and hugged the person. "Oh happy day. The schools will be joined! I..."

He got a strange look on his face as he ran his hands down Ranma. He pushed Ranma away. "You're a... You're a..."

Nabiki answered him as she walked up and squeezed one of Ranma's breasts. "This is a girl daddy. Couldn't you get this right?"

Ranma sighed as Nabiki continued to squeeze. "Would ya stop that. It feels awful weird."

Akane had approached at this point and was mollified as it was a girl instead of a guy. "Nabiki stop that. Can't you see that she wants you to stop. Hi I'm Akane."

Ranma looked over at the new girl as Nabiki stopped rubbing her breast. "Uh, yeah. Thanks."

"Do you practice Anything Goes? Do you want to spar in the dojo?" Ranma smiled at Akane's words. That was just what she needed.

"Sure, I need to work off some of the anger at my old man. Let's go."

The two of them left the room with a somewhat perturbed Nabiki, Soun, and a panda bear that was headed towards the kitchen where Kasumi was fixing dinner.

Akane stretched out while looking at the girl across from her. The girl was supposed to be Asian but she had long blond hair and blue eyes. Two things that were in no way Japanese characteristics. She shrugged at that though. Her mother or father could have been American or European so who was she to judge. "You ready, I'll go easy on you."

Ranma shrugged. Akane didn't seem to really move with grace so she really didn't expect much. It would be interesting to see how good she really was. Akane moved in with a punch at Ranma's chest only for her to seamlessly glide around it. Akane was left over-extended and almost fell on her face. Akane spun around and tried again with a leg sweep only for Ranma to lazily jump over it.

Akane started to get flustered and tried some harder hits only for the same thing to happen. She was getting aggravated. "Hold still would you."

Akane charged forward as fast as she could only to have Ranma leap frog over her and send her to the floor. Akane sighed and stood up. "Alright, you got me. I'm just glad your a girl."

Ranma seemed to frown at that response and was about to retort but Kasumi called to them. "Dinner will be ready soon."

They both walked out at that declaration and into the house. Akane walked up the steps and Ranma walked into the dining room. A long-haired brunette walked in and greeted Ranma. "Hi, I'm Kasumi. You must be Ranma-chan. Why don't you take a bath before dinner? The furo is ready. It's over in the hallway to your left."

Ranma sniffed herself and shrugged as she walked off towards the bath. While she didn't know much about these people, Ranma had to admit that a hot bath and good food would be nice.

Nabiki sat in her room contemplating their new guest. She was an oddity and a problem. How could her father just accept that the girl was this Ranma person and why did the panda drag her father away right after they arrived?

The bad part was that her father would probably insist on them staying in their house for free which really ticked her off. She tapped her hand on her desk until a letter fell out of her stack and into her lap. She looked it over and smiled as she realized what she could do. She had no real interest in the offer, but she was sure she could convince the new 'guest' to accept it. It would be a good public event full of the kind of people she was sure would buy some 'Ranma' merchandise, once she got the photos. She could even get her contact in that city to house them.

Nabiki laid the letter down and rummaged through her stack of papers until she pulled out a clear card with something etched into it. She put it on top of the letter and headed downstairs. The top of the letter said in bold letters: "Domino City Duel Monsters Championship..."
