This is my third fan fiction, so please review and tell me what you think.

Different Blood

By Paul Bennett a.k.a. Shadowbakasama


Chapter 1: The Wedding

Ranma, Akane, Genma, Mousse, Shampoo, and Ryouga had returned from Jusendo just two days ago and the fathers had hatched this plan for a wedding for Ranma and Akane. Nabiki had swiftly sent out the invitations and arranged for the catering and a priest while Nodoka and Kasumi took care of the decorations. The fathers were in charge of ambushing Ranma and putting him into a tuxedo. Akane had called her friends Yuka and Sayuri to be her brideÆs maids and to help her into her wedding dress.

In the mean time Nabiki had a few other things to take care of, such as insurance for the wedding, and
arranging for Dr. Tofu and other emergency services to be standing by, after all this was bound to end badly. The caterers showed up with the food and Nabiki was proud at how cheaply she had gotten Ukyo and Shampoo to provide the food, she just hoped that Mousse and Konatsu could keep them from causing trouble.

When Ranma woke up dressed in a white tuxedo and found out about the wedding he went upstairs and confronted Akane in her wedding dress and found out that she was forcing herself to go through with this, and warned him about backing out of it. At this point Genma finds out about the Nanniichuan and tries to make off with it just in time for Ryouga to burst through the wall and see the cask of Nanniichuan and alert Mousse to the cure for their curses and for Ranma to overhear. Ranma rushes down the stairs and is ambushed by Ukyo and Shampoo with their explosive food.

The mayhem continues with the addition of Tatewaki and Kodachi Kuno coming to steal the bride and groom respectively and Happosai snatching the Nanniichuan from the four Jusenkyo cursed males thinking it to be saki, after drinking the water the Grandmaster is assaulted by the four trying to get him to regurgitate the cursed water.

Ranma was having difficulty avoiding both Kunos, but had missed stepping into a fire bucket of water earlier, and so was still a guy, and as such still being attacked by Tatewaki with a real katana and was unable to help hold Happosai down, so Mousse used many lengths of his trademark chains to contain the pervert, but because of his bad eyesight he mistook the cask for the freak and Happosai tossed in a few fuse-bombs when he called out ôHappo-Daikaren!ö, he also tossed out a few others.

Upon hearing Happosai call out his explosive attack most people dived for whatever cover they could find, unfortunately Ranma was distracted by Kuno trying to kill him with a katana, and Kodachi was working her way around to protect Ranma from her brother, and so they didnÆt avoid the blast of shrapnel from the chain-wrapped cask.

Tatewaki was shielding from the blast by Ranma, and managed to score a hit on RanmaÆs ribs during the explosion, of course this brought him into reach of Ranma, who trapped his wrists and twisted disarming Kuno then throwing him from the Dojo as the secondary explosions from the catered food started.

In the aftermath of this Dr. Tofu has a triage set up out in the yard, tending to the various injuries, the most serious is Ranma with a sword wound to his side and several pieces of chain shrapnel in his back and thus when he asks for peoples blood types they run across a quandary: Ranma has blood type B+, Genma is O-, Nodoka is A-, Tatewaki is B+, Kodacki is A-, and all the Tendos are A+.

This means that only Genma and Tatewaki are able to give blood for Ranma, and Nodoka is able to give blood to Kodacki who didnÆt avoid the shrapnel from the blast. Other less obvious conclusions are reached by Dr. Tofu, Nabiki, and Kasumi, the first is that Ranma is not the son of Genma and Nodoka, and Kodachi probably isnÆt TatewakiÆs sister.



Dr. Tofu had both Ranma and Kodachi moved onto futon in the guest room after they were bandaged and transfused. Both of them were sleeping quietly while there was a meeting going on downstairs.

Dr. Tofu had asked Tatewaki to call his father and have him come over, but wouldnÆt explain why beyond having him there for Kodachi.

Once everyone involved (The Amazons, Tendos, Saotomes, Kunos, Ukyo, Konatsu, Happosai, and Ryouga) was settled down Dr. Tofu started his explanation.

ôFirst, the good news. Both Ranma and Kodachi are doing fine, I was able to remove all the shrapnel and we had blood donors here to replace most of the blood they lost.ö Dr. Tofu explained. ôBut I noticed some ... irregularities with their blood types. After checking the their files I noticed some strange coincidences. But first, Mr. Kuno, what is your blood type?ö

ôDa Big Kahuna be O-, da universal donor. I be sure to give blood real regular too.ö

ôAh yes, thatÆs very good of you.ö Dr. Tofu says straightening his glasses. ôSo then your wife must have had B+ blood the same as your sonÆs, correct?ö

ôThatÆd be right.ö

ôWell then, do you have any explanation for the fact that KodachiÆs blood type is A-?ö

ôUh, is that a problem?ö Asks the man who cultivates a tree on his head in confusion.

Nabiki and Kasumi both start at this point.

Dr. Tofu just shakes his head sadly and replies. ôWeÆll get back to that.ö Then he turns and addresses Nodoka. ôMrs. Saotome, I also ran into a similar problem with RanmaÆs blood type. You have type A- and Mr. SaotomeÆs type is O-, but RanmaÆs blood is B+.ö

Nabiki goes slightly pale upon hearing this.

Akane, however is tired of sitting still and angrily asks. ôWhatÆs the pervertÆs blood type got to do with anything!?ö

Cologne decides to field this question. ôWell girl, if you had paid attention in your Health classes, you might know about genetics, and that this proves that Ranma isnÆt the son of Nodoka and Genma, the same as Kodachi isnÆt the daughter of Kuno-san and his late wife.ö

ôYes, exactly.ö Tofu adds. ôThere is also the fact that Ranma and Kodachi have the same Birthday. In fact, they were born within minutes of each other in the same hospital.ö

ôOh my.ö
ôShimatta.ö
ôKuzo.ö
ôFrak.ö
ôKami.ö
ôNani!?ö
ôGenma!ö

Genma dove for the nearest fire bucket, but was unsuccessful in changing into a panda. The water had been used to put out the fire caused by all the pyrotechnics used at the wedding.

#Shnick# ôGenma dearest, is it possible that you swapped my child for a boy?ö Nodoka growls out at the cowering martial artist as she begins to draw her katana.

#Shing!# ôIs it possible that Kodachi is my beautiful daughter?ö She asks as the blade clears the scabbard.

#Whoosh# ôDid you leave my baby to be raised in a Den of Insanity?!ö She screams as she stops her blade just short of cutting into her husbands neck.

ôB-b-but n-n-No-chan. They were a well respected, rich, noble family. They werenÆt at all strange at the time.ö Genma replies, groveling at the feet of his wife.

ôHmph! Well alright then, there is only one thing to be done at this point.ö Nodoka says turning to face Principal Kuno. ôKuno-sama, the details we talked about concerning Ranma and Kodachi are completely acceptable. We should draw up the paper work immediately and arrange another ceremony as soon as possible.ö

ôOf- of course!ö The Hawaiian Otaku answers. ôThis will make my little wahini Kodachi so happy!ö The Don Ho wannabe yells as be brings out his ukelele and starts to dance a jig in happiness.

ôNo,ö The Saotome Matriarch whispers to herself smiling, ôit will make my daughter very happy however.ö

ôBut the schools must be joined!ö Soun yells causing Nodoka to glare at him.

ôSoun, Genma, we need to speak outside.ö Nodoka replies while sheathing the Saotome Honor Blade.





Soun, Genma, and Nodoka gathered outside out of hearing of the group inside.

ôAlright Tendo-kun,ö Nodoka starts out, ôyou must understand that me and Genma have no say over who Ranma marries at this point.ö

ôBut you just set Ranma up with Kodachi.ö The Tendo Patriarch protests.

Nodoka looks at Genma as if to ask æIs he always this slow?Æ

ôUh, Tendo-kun. ThatÆs not what she did.ö Genma tells his old friend and training partner. ôShe arranged for Kodachi to marry Ranma.ö

ôAnd a very good deal I made too!ö Nodoka crows in triumph. ôWith the KunoÆs providing the dowery to us! And having Ranma take the Saotome name!ö

Genma grins in avarice as he hears this and beams with pride at his wife.

Soun just looks clueless.

ôLook Tendo-kun, I donÆt think any of your daughters are interested in marrying Kodachi.ö Genma explains. ôSo there isnÆt any way to join the schools this generation.ö

ôBut if it is any consolation I understand that RanmaÆs elder brother has been courting Akane.ö Nodoka adds. ôIf they were to marry that would bring the clans closer, as well as increasing the fortunes of the Tendo clan.ö

ôBut, since when has Ranma had a brother?ö Soun asks in confusion.

Nodoka looks at Genma again telling him with her eyes that his friend is really slow. ôWell, I just found out about it myself, but I imagine that Genma has known for quite some time.ö

ôDonÆt worry Tendo-kun, we can make the arrangements for you if youÆre interested.ö Genma offers to his friend.

ôUh well, if you involve Nabiki in making the arrangements that should be fine.ö Soun waffles in indecision.

Genma and Nodoka exchange a look of avarice with each other and say in unison. ôThat will be fine.ö and chuckle.








Did some research on blood types and genotypes. I found out that I couldn't give Kodachi a blood type that would prove her to be not related to Tatewaki, but I was able to get one prove that Ranma wasn't Nodoka and Genma's son.

The problem came in the genotypes for the blood types.

A = AA or AO
B = BB or BO
AB = AB
O = OO
+ = ++ or +-
- = --

Thus A-(AA-- or AO--) and O- (OO--) cannot produce a B blood type or a + RH factor, but Takewaki B+ and Kodachi A- could have the same parents if they were A+(AO+-) and B+(BO+-), these parents could actually have children with any of the possible blood types.

Gets confusing doesn't it?

I'll just have to add later that Principal Kuno has O- type blood, and then Kodachi and Tatewaki can't be related.

Now as for NodokaÆs OOC behavior, well we have always wondered how a classy lady like her could have ended up with Genma, and my answer for this story is that she is a Grifter, a con-woman and both her and Genma were working cons on each other when they got married with Nodoka being pregnant and trying to marry into money that Genma didnÆt actually have. Of course her family didnÆt have the money that Genma was trying to marry either, so they hatched to plan to marry their child to a Tendo daughter to acquire a well known dojo and several large properties in Tokyo.

Hmm, actually that could explain a lot about Nodoka, and how someone so seemingly honor-bound would have stayed with Genma over the years, as well as why she signed that asinine contract with him. Looking forward to how things go in Nerima then as well with this bit of info. out for all to see. :D

Poor Ranma. To find out you're a Kuno. <shudder> Well, I look forward to seeing how the pairing progresses. Keep it up. :)

I feel sorry for Ranma... and more sorry for poor Kodachi... to have been raised a Kunou while she wasnt really one <_<

Aaaanyway, interesting story, nice premise... although it might need a little working on the fashion of storytelling you utilized, it felt a little descriptive to the point it feeling like a script. :huh:

Also a few spelling errors :
Kodacki instead of Kodachi,
saki instead of sake

Once again, I have to say this story has a lot of potential (hope it's a begining than a one shot) and I hope you keep it going ^_^

The thing is, would Ranma want to marry into the Saotome family?

Another question... would Tatewaki be as nuts without what most assume is frequent exposure to Kodachi's poison experiments? A sane Kuno looking at the prospect of letting his 'twisted sister' back into the family once he's free of her? Hello anything he can do to try to start a blood feud with the Saotomes and the Tendos.

Actually "Frak" was to show that someone is a Battlestar Galactica otaku. Not sure what Lobo is.

Found and fixed those errors in my draft.

Would Ranma want to marry in the Saotome clan? I suppose he want's his parents back, but more importantly his thieving parents want him back, and Principle Kuno didn't catch on that he was the father of the perspective groom instead of bride when Nodoka accepted the offer he had made for Kodachi. Also with the Kuno and Saotome clans joining thru marriage it would be a little hard for the Kunos to press charges for child kidnapping.

Are the Kunos happy? Well, Tatewaki is happy that Ranma is married to Kodachi and not Akane. Mr. Kuno also seems more concerned with Kodachi's happiness, not yet realizing that he should be concerned with Ranma's instead.

Are the Saotome's happy? Well Nodoka definately seems happy to have her daughter back and hooking her up with a very manly husband that she has been crazy for. Genma seems happy to have dodged a bullet and getting Ranma back as well as marrying into money. Kodachi will be very happy very soon, at least until she finds out about that pig-tailed harridan.

Is Ranma happy? Well he doesn't know yet, but he will get his parents back as In-Laws and keep the rights to practice the Saotome style, and he got out of all his engagements except for Shampoo before getting hooked up with Kodachi.

As for Akane? Heh heh, I guess I am hosing her in this one. Trading up to Ranma's older brother Tatewaki, I can just hear the yelling and screaming now.

Ranma'll likely be really happy about getting to keep practicing the Saotome Ryu, as well as getting out of all the obligations and debts Genma accrued in his name as well as still being around Nodoka (Genma? Hrm...) That is, he'll likely be happy about these things after he gets over the fact that he's marrying Kodachi.

And I can only imagine that the other fiances won't let things drop peacefully. Two O-Negatives in the same group, huh. One of the rare blood types or so I've always been told. O-posative myself, the Red Cross loves me.

In the words of the Legendary 'Mist cloud' ... Oh My. What's funny is that it's totally plausible. Ranma and Tatewaki both have egos the size of who knows what, and Kodachi/Nodoka are both ... realllly weird. Oh, dear, god. How will Kuno feel when he realizes that his pig-tailed goddess is his brother-come sister?

That one will be a reaction for the record books. He'll be ... who knows how he'll react. I imagine if you get through to Kodachi, she won't be as miffed. What's terrible is that Nabs won't mind marrying either Kuno or Ranma now (money money money) and so will probably turn her mercenary habits to snaring the two boys, for a new level of ridiculous chaos, and all Ranma may really lose is one fiancee. Who knows.

Would Ranma want to marry in the Saotome clan? I suppose he want's his parents back, but more importantly his thieving parents want him back,
I agree with the second, not really the first. If I were Ranma I would consider this as a last straw, especially considering it comes just after both Jusendo and the wedding with its various betrayals.

and Principle Kuno didn't catch on that he was the father of the perspective groom instead of bride when Nodoka accepted the offer he had made for Kodachi. Also with the Kuno and Saotome clans joining thru marriage it would be a little hard for the Kunos to press charges for child kidnapping.
These I can easily agree with.

Are the Kunos happy? Well, Tatewaki is happy that Ranma is married to Kodachi and not Akane. Mr. Kuno also seems more concerned with Kodachi's happiness, not yet realizing that he should be concerned with Ranma's instead.
They will not be for long. Genma with access to Kuno accounts, and I doubt anyone is smart enough that would want to that could suggest pre-nuptuals.

Additionally, while Kuno is shown insulting his sister many times, he does show sometimes a warped concerned brother image over her, odd considering she views him pretty much with contempt.

The thing is, Tatiwaki would have to come to terms with Ranma as a brother. I seriously doubt it would do much for him other than to cause a switch in reasons in why he attacks Ranma.

Are the Saotome's happy? Well Nodoka definately seems happy to have her daughter back and hooking her up with a very manly husband that she has been crazy for. Genma seems happy to have dodged a bullet and getting Ranma back as well as marrying into money.
They would have every reason to be happy at getting access to Kuno funds and living standards.

I've never really believed Genma is truly cares about Ranma as a person. Only as a means to an end. There is very little to support such a stance.

Kodachi will be very happy very soon, at least until she finds out about that pig-tailed harridan.
This might depend as well. Kodachi always came across as very smart, but unobservant to facts not fitting her world view. Once she would be forced to come to terms with it *after* getting Ranma, I think it could easily go either way on her reaction.

Is Ranma happy? Well he doesn't know yet, but he will get his parents back as In-Laws and keep the rights to practice the Saotome style,
Again, while you are free to write it that way, I cannot see him wanting his parents back after all this, though it is not like the Kunos are a stellar family by any means. He would also be in the midst of a identity crisis, with all of his past being a lie. However, if he was still Happosai's heir (although unwillingly), their would likely be little that could stop him from practicing his art of anything goes, though he might be forced to forma splinter shool, instead of it still being allowed as Saotome.

and he got out of all his engagements except for Shampoo before getting hooked up with Kodachi.
That would depend. Depending upon how you interpret it, especially if he is still the Heir to the Saotome school.

I can just picture the fathers trying to get a divorce later so he could still 'join the schools'. Ukyo switching back to killing him, and the Amazons going berserk. Also, the others would most likely atempt bust ups of his wedding no matter who it is, so it is not like much will change.

As for Akane? Heh heh, I guess I am hosing her in this one. Trading up to Ranma's older brother Tatewaki, I can just hear the yelling and screaming now.
Yep.

Actually the Saotomes may not have aceesss to Kuno accounts. Kodachi may be marrying into the Kuno family, higher staus. Thus she would fall back under the head of the Kuno families protection....also the family lawyers may have a few things to say...

Ok, that I could see.

Either way, if they did not have access to the funds, but lived on the estate it would still be good motivation.

Also, there is the *possibility* of such access in their view, it does not need be true.

How will Kuno feel when he realizes that his pig-tailed goddess is his brother-come sister?
I'm guessing since he ignored all relevant facts in the past he will continue to do so now... Eeeewwwww...
