Note this is the first chapter of an alternaverse with Ranma getting a different Curse he falls into spring of Drowned Tiger. Also The tendo girls might seem OOC but that is intentional that's why it's an Alternaverse.

Different Curses Part 1

The guide thought [idiots why they not listen first boy knocks man into spring of drowned Panda then Panda knock boy into spring of drowned tiger] he said as he was making his way back to the springs from his house with a several thermouses of hot water. [of course worse boy have fear of cats see reflection runs into bolder and knock himself out.] The guide finally reached the area where the Panda had climbed a tree to get away from the angry tiger.

Several weeks later.

"Let me get this straight pop we are going to visit some old friend of yours before going to see mom." Ranma asked as he walked ubrella above his head. {Yes} signed a panda hopping his son wouldn't over react to the engagement.

Mean while Soun Tendo was running from his youngest daughter "You want us to what." "One of you must Marry the Son of my Friend Genma Saotome it is a matter of family honor." "As long as he isn't younger than me father younger men bore me." Kasumi said cheerfully as she worked. "Well let Nabiki do it." Akane said smiling since she is the only one without an objection." Akane said seeing her other sister had just got off the phone and was heading in to see if the guest were here she was wondering how to make money off of them assuming her father would engage Akane the only martial artist of the three to the family. "Yes yes what a wonderful Idea." "What" Nabiki screamed just then there was a knock at the door.

After Ranma had restored his father and explained about the curse he asked "So pop why did you want to come here?" Genma looked nervouse of course before he could say anything Soun stood up. "Ranma this is my daughter Nabiki your faincee." "What" Ranma screamed "Son an agreement was signed befor you were born that the clans would be joined our honor depends on it." Genma said very quickly playing his trump card Ranma valued honor above all else. "Dad wouldn't Akane make a better choice?" Nabiki stated trying to get out of an engagement. "Remember I hate boys espeicially ones with curses what do you turn into anyway?" Akane asked remembering that during the explaination of the curse he said we change with cold water. Ranma's face paled considerably "My son changes into a Tiger." "So neat lets us see." Akane asked reconsidering the engagement she might like to have someone she could treat as a pet. "No way." Ranma scooted as far away from her as possible. "My son has a fear of cats." Genma looked down. "What kinda person fears cats." Akane said. "What do you know?" Ranma yelled as he grabbed his umbrella and left.

Genma looked down "What was that about?" Nabiki asked she was good at reading people and that acuzation of Akane's had hurt him allot. "Nothing" Genma said as he walked toward the bathroom.

Nabiki couldn't belive she was out in the rain looking for some guy her father was forcing her to marry but she just felt that mabye his pain was the same as hers being lonely no friends that's why she loved money atleast money could distract her from her lack of friends. She saw him in the window of some late night coffee shop.

They talked for hours Ranma explained about the Nekko Ken and she explained the way things were at the house when the left they weren't exactly friends but nethier were they enemies.
