Disclaimer: I do not own Ranma ½. Too bad, I want it to be mine. Oh well, that's life.

Summary: What if Soun Tendo and Genma Saotome didn't meet and become friends under Happosai's training? Then Ranma and Akane wouldn't have met, WRONG. But things would be awfully different though. RA RU SM

A/N: Don't be affected by the pairings of the start of the story, I promise, it will be RA RU and SM, don't worry. Anyway, here is about the characters when the Tendos and the Saotomes didn't meet. Enjoy and review if you want me to continue and want to know what happens to make the pairings RA RU and SM. This is only my second fic in this fandom, so please be a little bit easy with me. Anyway, to not keep you waiting, let's start!

Ranma Saotome, is a handsome young lad and a master of the martial arts, especially the Anything Goes Martial Arts. He traveled with his dad everywhere, hi or low. And once upon a time, he fell in a cursed spring together with his father. The spring turned him into a girl and he can only turn back to a boy by the means of hot water. He eventually did but whenever he gets wet by normal water, he still returns to a girl and the same goes with his dad who turns into a panda. Though, it might look like a bad fate for them to have, he does have a girlfriend, Shampoo, an Amazon girl he met at China. At first they fought since Ranma defeated her when she was a girl all because he accidentally stole her food but when he revealed his secret of being a real boy, Shampoo fell in love with him. Ranma also developed feelings for her after knowing her better.

Akane Tendo, is a girl looked upon by many, girl or boy. She's very strong and witty. She knows how to be independent and knows how to defend herself since she also knows martial arts. She has a boyfriend by the name of Ryoga Hibiki and they met by accident when Ryoga was lost on his way to a training ground. She let him stay at their house for a few months and their love developed. Seeing that this happened, Akane's father agreed on their relationship and hopes for them to get married someday. Technically, they're fiancées now. Yes, many guys yearn for Akane to be theirs since she's very beautiful with her long hair (her hair still wasn't cut off), but she would never allow herself to belong to anybody else and neither would Ryoga.

Shampoo, as said, is an Amazon girl and Ranma's girlfriend. Her favorite past time is cooking and her bestfriend is a long haired guy with eyeglasses named Mousse. They've been the best of friends since they could talk so that makes them terribly close. Shampoo also is a martial artist and is actually very good. She's very sneaky in battles though and usually doesn't play fair. But even though she and Ranma are very tight in their relationship, there is only but one problem, Shampoo also fell into the cursed spring and she turns into a cat when dosed with water and turns back by hot water.

Ryoga Hibiki, a guy who has no sense of directions whatsoever is also Akane's boyfriend. But, his awful directions, this serves as both a curse and a gift for him. Yes, he gets lost a lot of times and probably will in the future, but because of his awful and terrible directions, he did meet Akane. Ryoga loved Akane from the first time he saw her and he swore to protect her since they met. He saw from Akane the true meaning of love and he really feels at home with her. Akane made him feel accepted which he never did feel since he was always lost and had no family. But though he was lost, he never got to the cursed spring.

Ukyo Kuonji, is a girl who also loves to cook like Shampoo. She is truly skilled with her big spatula and cooks great meals. She is Akane's bestfriend though she has secret feelings for Akane's boyfriend, Ryoga. The reason is because Ryoga saved him from some thugs before. From that experience, she vowed to be stronger and be independent to show Ryoga that she can defend herself like Akane. But even though Ukyo likes Ryoga a whole lot, she would never ever be a traitor to Akane. She and Akane have been best friends for ten years and she really loves her bestfriend. She's not that kind of person, but she could never deny that she likes Ryoga, except to Akane.

Mousse, is not only Shampoo's bestfriend but also her biggest admirer. Shampoo and her may be considered the best of friends but Moose always wishes that they were a lot more. But he doesn't have the strength to tell Shampoo how he really feels and he couldn't beat Ranma up since that would just make Shampoo mad with him and he wouldn't want that. He doesn't have a plan yet on how to tell Shampoo but he really tries his best to show that he loves her but unfortunately, Shampoo is too blinded by a lot of things. Speaking of blind, he too is a little bit blind and needs his glasses most of the time. He also turns into something when dosed with water like the other and he turns into a duck. But even if he's a duck he can still be deadly, because he is also good in martial arts, when wearing his glasses.

Takewaki Kuno, is a guy with a very big ego and also the trainee of Master Happosai, the underwear thief or better known as 'the weirdo'. Anyway, though Kuno only loves two girls equally and they are Akane Tendo and his so called, 'pig-tailed goddess' who is better known as the girl Ranma wherein he met by Shampoo's restaurant, he still wishes to learn from Happosai. The reason is because he loves Akane and Happosai promised to help him get her by training him so he could defeat Ryoga. This makes him Ryoga's biggest rival since he always tries to steal Akane from him. But even though he tries his very best, any training he does, he still always loses. It's because he couldn't fully master anything Happosai teaches him. He really isn't that great of a martial artist. Anyway, Kuno has a sister by the name of Kodachi and she is very close to him. They both love roses, he with red ones and she with black ones.

Kodachi Kuno, she is Takewaki's sister who is very fond of martial arts and gymnastics. She usually joins these two together so she could be unbeatable. She laughs funnily and is a bully to girls, especially those who does martial arts or gymnastics or both. Though this is the case, she really loves his brother and would help him in anything, even try to kill Ryoga and get Akane and 'pig-tailed goddess' have sex with her dear brother. But that won't be easy even though she would do it.

Genma Saotome, is Ranma's very irresponsible father. He sold his own son about a million times for food and other things, so he's the cause of Ranma's many fiancées even though he never met Soun. He's usually lazy and really loves food, even if a panda. He also loves to get anything free and loves to have plenty of money. What a weird father he is. Though, he is good in the Anything Goes Martial Arts 'cause he's the one who taught Ranma.

Soun Tendo, is Akane's father who just waits for his daughters to get married and have a great life. He loves his daughters very much and he would be really vengeful if something bad happens to them and someone hurts them. He's also a great martial artist and Happosai is his master in martial arts, not underwear stealing.

Happosai, is a great martial artist but a very perverted little old mad. He's known as 'the weirdo' and he loves bras and panties and loves holding and seeing them. He also loves seeing girls wearing such things. Though he lives in the Tendo house, he still helps Kuno with training because he sees potential in him and promises him help so that Akane Tendo would be his.

Cologne, is Shampoo's great grandmother and also a martial artist. She's as good as Happosai and knew him from way back. She runs a restaurant with Shampoo and greatly loves calling Ranma as her 'son-in-law' which she wishes some day would happen. She trains Ranma and Genma a lot in martial arts and at the same time also Shampoo.

Kasumi Tendo, is Akane's eldest sister and she is usually the one doing the household chores. She is very gentle and sweet and Akane looks up to her as an inspiration of a girl with the true traits of a woman.

Nabiki Tendo, is Akane's very sneaky sister who loves earning money and using other people. She's very sneaky and plans a lot of much unexpected things which is bad for everybody or if not, for the many. Though she only wants happiness for herself, she just always affects everybody in a big deal.
