       Another Double Path In Life



Ryu was walking.
Ryu WAS walking.
I couldÆve rephrase the introductory sentence than besides ôRyu was
walking,ö but since IÆm just darn lazy and canÆt think my way through, so it
has been said.
RYU WAS WALKING.
In one of ChinaÆs quiet forests, Ryu was traveling in search of the training
battle grounds of Jusenkyo, believing that area is where elite martial
artists train.  But alas, he wasnÆt aware of the consequences that that were
to befall him in his journey.  Ryu looked around his surroundings in the
forest.

ôIÆm sure I should go west, orà. west it is,ö said Ryu proudly.  But in his
thoughts, it said æDamn it!  I should have never left the map in the bus!Æ
which gives us the fact that he cursed himself for being lost.  When he
walked about 20 millimeters, he stumbled on the sign that said æJusenkyo
Springs, thatta way.Æ  Upon the second message, it read æUsed car salesmen
will be pulverized!Æ  Ryu ignored the third message and hurried to the
springs.
The Jusenkyo guide was making list of all the visitors that got cursed
(including the one that got a sex change.).  Then recognized a new
participant to add to JusenkyoÆs cursed body collection.  The guide readied
his cap, donned his primitive Japanese speech, and began to interrupt the
victi-à.visitor.
Ryu was interrupted with a convesation by a fat Chinese guide with garbled
Japanese.  It started to began like this:
Script
Guide: Ooooh sir, you very strange one, no?
Ryu: Uh, yes.  IÆm here to train.
Guide: But sir, do notà..
Ryu: Wish me luck!!
(Ryu jumps out and lands on a bamboo shoot)
Guide: Did sir read third message?
Unfortunately, we all know what the third message was.
Ryu was admiring the difficulty of the Jusenkyo Battleground Springs.  He
did his katas on high bamboo shoots, and etc, and etc of his æpart of
trainingÆ kit.  He knew that one wrong step would result in plummeting down
in the springs.  But unfortunately, he didnÆt know what was in those
springs.
Suddenly fate turned a hand.  It was common that for every Jusenkyo tourist
would always, I mean always, appear as a curse and tragedy.  Plus a shot of
depression and disaster.  Such a common thing in which included the death &
taxes example.  Even though Ryu have gotten out through many troubles he
encountered, the tradition will never be broken.
Ryu suddenly slipped from his hold from the bamboo shoot.
ôWhoa, whoa, whooooaaa!!!!ö
And falls down into the springs.
ôAiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee!!!!ö
** SPLASH **
Now, the results from this eventàà..
While Ryu was underwater, his body began to change.  It had splitted into
two.  One was male, and one was female.  But luckily, the female had her own
gi to prevent some ..ahemà unwanted attention.
The Chinese guide, knowing his cue was up, (person + spring + cursed body +
speech = tragedy), ran to the double victim, and began his speech.
ôOoooh too bad, you fall in (insert cursed spring name), spring of drown
twin.  10,000 year ago, very tragic legendààö
yaddaà.yaddaà.yaddaà.
ôSo who fall in spring have opposite sex twin,ö
Ryu look at his female equivalent, and stared for a long, long time.  His
female equivalent looked at him and stared for a long, long time.  Both
looked and stared each other for a long, long time.
Ryu, not knowing he cannot take much of this, fainted with a nosebleed.  On
the other, Ryu-chan fainted with a shock.  The guide hooked a plan to æcue
BÆ, in which he carries the victim(s) to his station, wake æem up, and say
farewell on there cursed journey which didnÆt help the situation at all.
************************************************************************
ôWHY DIDNÆT YOU TELL ME THAT BEFORE!!!!????ö
Ryu was having a hard time, knowing he had to deal with two problems at
once, his sanity, and his twin.  The twin, however, was also having a hard
time, feeling weird and confused with her own body.
ôDid sir read third message?ö
ôWhat third message?ö
ôThird message on sign.ö
ôI thought it was another useless message!!!ö
ôSir need pay more attention.ö
ôsssssàss..shut up!!!!!ö
Ryu looked at his twin.  He somehow felt guilty.  While he was paying
attention to himself, he didnÆt pay notice to his twin.  He wondered what
was he going to do about her.  ôGet up.  Your coming with me.ö  Ryu-chan
looked up to Ryu.  Then she nodded and stood up.  While they were ready for
another journey, the guide was launching his insane farewells.  Both threw
rocks at him (WHAM!), and said the most bravest word:  ôSHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!ö
While walking along the dirt road, neither Ryu and (OS)twin said a word to
each other.  After a few miles, a conversation was beginning.
ôUmàI canÆt keep on calling you Ryu you know.ö
ôWhyÆs that?ö
ôWell, youÆre a girlàandà.ö
ôItÆs your *fault* you know.ö
ôGomen nasai.ö

After a few minutes, Ryu looked at Ryu-chan to say a word.  Unexpectedly, he
accidentally took a glimpse of her half revealed cleavage (Not that far you
hentai!!!  IÆm only doing this to write a comedy relief.  IÆm bored here
okay??).  Ryu pulled away to control his nosebleed.  Ryu-chan, annoyed by
this, angrily asked, ôWhatÆs the matter now!!??ö
ôUmà.yourà giàö
Ryu-chan took a look at herself and gasped.  She quickly covered herself and
tied up her gi.
And then she punched Ryu.
ô Ow!!  What the heck you did that for!!??ö
ôThat was for taking a peek on me.ö
ôOh, now youÆre a girl?ö
ôSHUT UP!!!!ö
(WHACK!!)
Left Ryu a head bruise.

After a few more minutes, Ryu-chan calmly asked, ôWhat was that again,
changing my name?ö  Ryu responded, ôYes, I canÆt keep calling you Ryu.  It
wouldnÆt be right.  How about Ryoko?ö  ôHmmm.....ö said Ryoko.  ôIÆll take
it.  ItÆs close to Ryu.ö
Ryoko then said, ôSomehow, I thing this is a beginning of another journey
and another path.ö
ôI agree with you.ö Responded Ryu.
ôOh by the way, where are the ferry tickets,ö Ryoko asked.
ôDarn,ö responded Ryu.
ôLeft them on the bus I see.ö
ôYeah.ö
ôSo, weÆre going to have to swim.ö
ôYes, that is true.ö
Both looked at each other again with feelings of weirdness and confusion,
then put their thoughts on swimming.  For the first time of RyuÆs life, he
began to have thoughts of exhaustion.
************************************************************************
So, howja like it???  CÆmon I want an answer already!!!!  ItÆs bad enough
already that I had nothing to do at the weekends.

The DragonJex Production present

        A DOUBLE PATH IN LIFE,
                (OR ANOTHER CROSSOVER FOR RYU TO HANDLE)
============================================================================

In Nerima, Tokyo, you almost have sense of Deja vu.

A different kind of DTja vu.

A kind of DTja vu with a crunchiness of disaster with a dash of destruction.

ItÆs cooks: A boy, his four fiancees, and a team of property damage.

With this kind of dTja vu, you can always expect high medical costs,
and enormous insurance rates and construction costs.

But still, the people managed to survive in Nerima.

It must be a miracle.

LetÆs look back shall we?

        At the Tendo Dojo, Ranma was sparring with his ingrate father Genma.  As
usual, that ingrate boy knocked Genma into the pond to begin that ingrate
fatherÆs transformation into a panda.  As Genma-panda pulled out of the
pond, Ranma yelled, ôHowza about that old man!!??  CanÆt cha beat me?  Aww,
old age mustÆve slowed you down hasnÆt it??ö

Panda shot up a sign that said ôJust yyoouu wait Ranma.ö

And so the as usual, Genma-Panda knocked Ranma into the pond to begin his
transformation into a girl.

Ranma-chan stepped out of the pond while Genma-panda was celebrating
throwing signs that said ôI beat you Ranma!!!  HAR HAR HAR!!ö  She cracked
her knuckles and gritted her teeth.

ôThatÆs it old man.  Time for your lesson in pain.ö

        A battle was formed.  Clouds of dust gathered, punches and kicks connected,
and weird assortment of objects (such object that was thrown known to be the
ôRubber Duckyö.) thrown at each other.  Then finally, Kusumi called, ôTime
for breakfast.ö

Ranma-chan acted surprised and yelled, ôLook, a 100-yen coin!ö  Genma pulled
out a sign that said ôWHERE!!??ö and looked for that invisible 100-yen coin.
  Then, she sweep kicked him into the pond again.  ôGotcha old manö, smirked
Ranma-chan.

        Ranma was glad it was Saturday.  He really didnÆt like school (Depending on
how you call school from getting chased by three fiancees, having to deal
with a ki-sucking vampire like Hinako, having duels with Kuno and Ryoga,
getting hit by Akane, etc, etc, etc).  All that he was interested was three
simple words; eat, sleep, and train.  Well, since he was eating KasumiÆs
cooking, all he had to worry about was the barging in of three fiancees, and
AkaneÆsàààà

Ranma made a face and stopped eating.

ôA..A..Akane, did you cook breakfast???ö

ôYes, à..why do you ask?ö

        Ranma felt a sharp and very familiar pain.  It was pain #54: ôThe Pain of
AkaneÆs Breakfast entree#342ö.  As he clutched his stomach, Akane frowned
and went to angst mode.

ôRanmaàà.. NO BAKA!ö

Yep, you guessed it.  The familiar ôTomboy Beats Martial Artist Which Lands
On Poolö theme.

ôUghà the pain, ah.. tomboy tried to kill meà ulp, my mouthàö

ôRanma, die!!!!ö

*POW*

ôAHHHHAHHHAHHH!!!!ö  *splash*

ôWhat the hell was that for you tomboy!!ö

ô You insensitive jerk!ö

Ahhhà.  This is merely a progress of relationship between those two.
ôDie Ranma!ö
*BUFF*
ôAaargh!   The pain!ö

Maybe not.

        Meanwhile, Ryu and Ryoko was busily swimming across the ocean toward Japan.
  But as they swam, theyÆre beginning to get tired.  To rest themselves,
they now floated as they begin their conversation.

ôSo, howÆs life on the other edgeö, asked Ryu.
ôFine, but very strange,ö answered Ryoko.

Both paused for a second.

        ôUmmà are.. you use to your body,ö asked Ryu.  ôIn what way,ö retorted
Ryoko.  ôWell uh, since the incident, have you gotten use to it?  You know,
um how do you feel?ö  ôIÆll tell you how I feel,ö said Ryoko with a hint of
angst and sarcasm.  ôEver since this incident, my whole life has been
changed.  My whole life!  Everything IÆve learned as a man, changed!!  You
know why?  It was because of you!  You couldÆve been careful!  Instead, you
had to fall into the springs!!  I no longer love Chun Li, you know why!!?? 
Because it was your fault!!!  I am stuck to this new body!!!  My life has
been changed and broken up against my will!!!  YOU KNOW WHY!!!????  BECAUSE
IT WAS YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!   AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!ö

        Ryoko was so pent up with anger that without notice that she punted Ryu 60
feet behind her and kept on toward Japan.

*splash*

ôAww crap.ö

        Ryu realized that he was way behind her.  By now, she wouldÆve been far to
Japan already.  He cannot let this happen.  He must catch up.

ôGotta catch up, Gotta catch up, Gotta catch up, Gotta catch upà.ö

        Meanwhile as he was catching up, he still pondered at the question;  ôWas I
really in love with Chun Li? ö  Ryu thought for a bit.  ôNah.ö

        Ranma was busy carrying a package for Ms. Hikato while rubbing the bruise
his face officially stamped by ôThe Tomboyö.  ôStupid girl.  Stupid tomboy;
stupid Akaneàjeez she didnÆt havta hit me so hard,ö painfully thought Ranma.
  Apparent, he wasnÆt in the mood for such obstacles ahead of him.

Suddenly a blue figure charged on with lame thunder special effects.  ôDie
Ranma Saotome.  Die like the cur you are.  You shall taste my blade.  You
shall feel the wrath of the Great Tatewaki Kuno, Blue Thunder of Furinkan
High!  I shall free the Beloved Pigtail Goddess and the fair, noble Akane
Tendo from the clutches of your evil foul, black sorcerer!  Prepare to meet
thy doom!  Have at thee coward!  Have atà.UUUGGRHH!!!ö

        The blazing figure known to be the Blue Thunder was suddenly stopped by
sheer impact by a familiar leg.

ôHello Kuno, goodbye Kuno.ö
!!!!!!

        Ranma punted him into orbit.  ôStupid Kuno.  CanÆt stop bothering me.ö 
Suddenly in contact by 5 minutes and 45 seconds, another rival went to
pursue his rage against a very familiar person called Ranma.

        ôRanma Saotome, prepare to pay for your crimes against Akane!ö  A boy named
Ryouga Hibiki introduced himself by phrases of lame chivalry.  (And they say
chivalry is deadà.)  ôOkay Ryouga, what did I do now,ö asked Ranma with an
ounce of boredom.  ôDonÆt give me that!  You know well what youÆve done to
Akane!ö

ôCould you   *huff* give me a hint!!??ö
ôDonÆt give me that crap!!!  You know what youÆve done!ö

        Ranma realized that this ôsituationö was getting nowhere.  He decides to
commence ôThe Final Solution to Ryouga HibikiÆs Problemö.



Up, Up, itÆs away!

Saotome you caaaad!!!!!!

ôGoodbye ya olÆ swine!  DonÆt forget to send a postcard P-chan!!!!! 
MWHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!ö

Ranma resorted to boredom and went on to destination.

Meanwhileà

        Ryoko finally reached Japan.  Right now she was waiting on that
stone-headed jerk, Ryu.  Serves him right that she punt him.  It was his
fault that she was aàwellàuh.. female.  Finally, Ryu arrived at the shore.
ôYou were late.ö
ôWhat do you mean late!!?  YouÆre the one who made me late!ö

Ryoko frowned.
To this, Ryu knew it was a bad thing.
Then, she let out a smile.
Ryu sighed in relief.
Frown again.
Ryu now resorts to anxiousness.

ôLetÆs go.ö

As the scene approaches the outskirts of Nerima District of Tokyo, an boy of
18 named Mikado, with a large number of fans (all girls of course), was
strutting his stuff.  Oh yes, he was the best, Oh yes, he was the best. 
(Audience:  PIMP!)
Ahhh, yes.  There were beautiful girls surrounding him.  What can nothing go
wrong?  (Except for Ranma.)  Then suddenly, something caught his attention.

It was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

        She had the exquisite light tan on her skin.  Her muscles made her look
like a beautiful Japanese goddess of war.  Her hair was of attractive ebony
color, reflecting on the sunlight.  She was athletic, as well as her shapely
bosom. (Okay, maybe IÆm too far nowàBack away hentai!!!) To him, she was
exotic.

He scooped up to meet her.

        ôHello,ö greeted Mikado, presenting his most seductive voice. 
Unfortunately, there was no change on the girlÆs face.  Nor she was
blushing.  She seem serious and calm.  ôWhat is your name?ö  ôMy name is Ry-
uh, Ryoko,ö replied Ryoko.  She calmly asked, ôExcuse me, could you show
directions to the Tendo Dojo?ö

Heh, this girl didnÆt need directions.  What she need was a ôKissö.

But unfortunately, that was not what the girl thought of.

Mikado took her up in his arms forces his lip upon hers.

It felt damn good.

        Suddenly for a brief 5 seconds of pleasure, Ryoko regained her senses and
threw Mikado.  She spitted out from her lips to get the taste of kiss out. 
Ryoko now found a target for her rage.

DonÆt youà
(!CRACK!)
everà
(BOFF!)
TRY TO KISS MEà.
(OUCH!)
AGAIN!!!
(OOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!)

Ah, the crunchiness of pain itself.

Ahem, sadistic am I?  (heh heh)

        Ryoko then walked off in a calm state.  If she was going to ask for
directions, it had better be somebody who was not as silly as that pervert
she encountered.  Nobody, she means nobody, ever dares to kiss her, not even
one peck.

As for Mikado, he just wondered what did he do wrong?

THE END

COMING SOON>>> CHAPTER 3:  THE TENDO DOJO, WHERE RYOKO MEETS TROUBLE.
