Chapter 1: Shampoo's Solution
"Wait you idiot!" Ranma yelled as he chased after Ryoga. Mostly because Ryoga was leading them in the wrong direction, as per usual.
"But were so close! I can feel it. Anyway, STOP FOLLOWING ME!" He rounded the corner of a large boulder and stopped, falling to his knees.
"What is it?" Ranma asked, turning around the boulder. All he saw was the end of a cliff.
"I did it again didn't I? Why can't I ever find my way?" He pounded his fists on his legs.
"Oh, P-Chan, don't take it so harshly. I can take you there, no problem" Ranma said, taking the map.
Ryoga glared up at him. "Ranma, DON'T CALL ME P-CHAN!"
"Oh, relax. I only want to remain a boy. So there should be no problem with me helping you find your way to this hot spring."
Ryoga's eyes filled with happiness. "You really mean that? You'll help me be a man again?"
"Well 'course, I don't want you fouling Akane anymore."
Ryoga shook his head. "Yeah, Yeah. Whatever Ranma. Lets just get going."
He stood up just as Shampoo and Mousse came around the boulder, both out of breath.
"Ranma turn back to boy now?" Shampoo asked.
Ranma shook his head. "Nope, this isn't the spring, Mr. P lead us astray again."
"Well excuse me for my bad sense of direction!" Ryoga yelled back.
Ranma rolled his eyes. "Lets just get going. The more time we waste, the more likely the spring is to move. Right Shampoo?"
Shampoo nodded. "Right. Grandma say it is cursed spring. Always moving 'round. This way, very few find it."
"Thanks again Shampoo. It's because of you that we have a solution to our problems. We can all have our curses lifted!" Ranma exclaimed.
"Quack!" Mousse replied. He, of course was currently in his cursed form. Which was a white duck.
"Now, lets get a move on" Ranma ran back in the direction they came, following the directions of the map.
"Ranma, wait for Shampoo!" Shampoo ran after him, followed by mousse and a very annoyed Ryoga.
"Damn you Rama! Can't you slow down?!" Ryoga yelled as he tried to catch up.
They were all on their way to having there curses lifted, as excited as they were, odd things occupied there minds. And Ranma knew his father was following in some way. Genma would not want to stay a panda if he could help it.
Ryoga's POV
I can't believe it, Ranma and me will both be free of the curses! Shampoo and Mousse too, of course. I won't be a pig anymore and Ranma, will no longer turn into a girl... That will be so strange. It's not like he was ever truly a girl or that I felt anything besides hatred toward him. But, something is just nagging me. I wander what it could be?
I shook my, head, no point in getting obsessed over these thoughts. My name is Ryoga and when I am doused with cold water I become a pig which my true love, Akane, calls P-chan. She thinks I'm just her pet pig and doesn't realize I am actually Ryoga. It saddens me to know that but I'm not to concerned about it. After all, my curse will soon be lifted, besides, I get to sleep beside her.
"Lets stop here" Ranma said, sitting down on a rockey ledge. Shampoo sat beside him.
"Ranma tired?" She asked. He nodded.
"You tire quickly, don't you Ranma. Such low stamina you have." I said, sitting a fair length away from him.
"Shut up pig boy! No one asked you!" He retorted.
I rolled my eyes. "Who you calling pig boy, Ranma-chan?"
We set up camp, I gathered wood for a fire and Ranma went to catch fish. Mousse couldn't do much so Shampoo was left to set up a place to sleep. Which was mostly just some leaves from the trees, tied together to make a neat little sleeping spot.
It didn't take long for Ranma to return with a dozen various fish. I could tell he was wet, and now a girl.
I smirked at him. "Hey there Ranma? I don't know if there is any hot water right now so you'll have to remain a girl for a while. It's good that Kuno isn't here to see you."
"What does it matter if I'm a girl right now?! I got the fish and whatever so just finish up with the fire so we can eat already!"
"Already doing that." I said, set flame to the dry kindle. He nodded, impressed by my skill. It was always interesting when Ranma was a girl. Red hair instead of black and more feminine features.
"Ranma, Shampoo do good with beds?" I looked over at the make shift beds.
"There great, Shampoo." He replied. "Now, I'm going to fetch some water for us to boil. I don't want to be stuck in this girl form."
Ranma stood and picked up a tea pot. He then went back to the river for water.
Shampoo looked at me. "We going to eat soon?" she asked in her strange Chinese accent. I nodded.
We sat in quiet as the fish started cooking. That is, it was quiet until Ranma returned.
"Mhm! Smells good!" He said sitting down beside me and giving the fish a good sniff. "They almost done?"
"Yeah, so you got the water then? That was a quick trip."
"Well 'course I got the water. I didn't leave for nothin' ya know."
"Yeah, yeah." I replied, trying to ignore him. He could be so very pesky at times! "Really, you do realize there's no point in turning back to a guy right now. The likelihood of you just turning back is quite high due to the fact that we are out in the wild."
"I'm just very tired of this girls body. But I guess your right, it doesn't matter. It's not like it's completely annoying being a girl. Okay then, just heat it up for mousse over there. I'm getting tired of looking at his duck face. I'll stay a girl till we get to this spring."
I smiled. "Yeah, whatever, Ranma." He just liked having a girls body. He stuck his tongue at me in an unlike way. It actually made him look kind of cute.
"I'm going to lay down until the fish is done."
I nodded. "Okay Ranma." He laid on one of the handmade beds and closed his eyes. I watched him a bit. I don't know why but, whenever he did that, I could almost forget he was really a guy. I wander if there was a girl out there like Ranma. And not just a guy who could turn into a girl.
He moved his hand, reaching around himself and itching his butt. I shook my head, my cheeks feeling hot with my foolish thoughts. Yeah, there was no mistake, Ranma was definitely a guy, regardless of his current form. Nothing could disguise the manliness about him.
Soon the fish were done cooking and handed out evenly. Ranma sat up, eating his fish in one bite. All but the bones. "Very good. You really aren't a bad cook, Ryoga."
"Why do you sound so surprised. I want to prove that I can be a good husband for Akane."
He rolled her eyes. "Who would even want to marry that uncute tomboy? I say you can have her."
"Shampoo a good cook too, Ranma. Want me make you something?" Shampoo asked.
Ranma shook his head. "Don't worry 'bout it, Shampoo. This fish is enough for me. Why don't you cook something the next time we stop?"
She nodded in agreement. "Okay Ranma!"
Everyone was quiet as we all ate our fish. Ranma burped after he was done. I could even smell the scent and practically gagged at how horrid it was.
"Ranma! That is so unladylike! How can someone like you have so many male and female suitors?" I asked.
He stood up and smiled. "Easy Ryoga. I am a handsome man and a sexy woman." He did a pose and winked at me, tugging a bit on his clothing to show off his girl body. Grinning at my dumb expression.
I narrowed my eyes, but something about the way he acted made my stomach flutter. Stupid Ranma, acting like a real girl. Just to rile me up.
"Now its time for me to go to sleep. Night Ryoga." She said my name in a very sexy way and I felt my cheeks grow red again. I almost hit myself for being so stupid but stopped because he was still watching me. And pretty closely, I might add.
"Well good night then! Maybe you won't wake up from your slumber and just die n your sleep. Then me and Akane can live happily ever after." I retorted. He just laughed, laying down, smiling at me as he closed his eyes.
Shampoo went over and laid next to him, having finished her meal. Mousse continued to eat his fish which looked very odd. Mostly due to the fact that he had yet to turn back to human.
"Do you like eating fish when your a duck?" I asked, he just quacked back at me. I sighed. Now there was no one I could have an actual conversation with. Unless Mousse decided to turn back.
I looked at the steaming kettle of water. "Wanna change back?" I asked Mousse, sounding bored and tired. He quacked and I set the container next to him. "Knock yourself out. I'm going to bed."
My sleeping spot was next to Ranma's in a sense, but quite a few feet away. Mousse, of course, was going to sleep next to Shampoo. Not like she wanted him there though. I had my back turned to Ranma, looking up at the stars.
Akane was seeing them. Wherever she was right now. At least one thing was the same, we both were looking up at the same sky. I sighed closing my eyes. I felt wide awake, despite my exhausted muscles. Tonight would be very long. I glanced up, watching as the now human Mousse settle down near Shampoo. I could see her pushing him and his bed farther away from her.
Then my eyes fell on Ranma. I almost looked away, but she looked so normal there. Almost cute. I watched her, hearing a soft snoring coming from one of them. Maybe I should move closer to them. It felt so lonely being far from everyone. I doubt Ranma would mind. We were both guys after all. Even if he now had the body of a girl.
I pulled the bed closer to him. Laying down and looking at Ranma again. I could almost feel the warmth of his female body.
Then he moved over, turning in my direction. Since he was in his tank top and shorts, when he turned, a strap fell down. I felt my face grow hot again as I could see a little more than normal. Some feminine parts that a guy shouldn't have. Of course that was silly. I mean, I always see him naked when he's a girl so this really wasn't much different. I guess its just because he was sleeping like how your average girl will. I shook my head, ridding myself of a female Ranma, and closed my eyes again.
I slept peacefully, dreaming of me an Akane. On a romantic date. She had left Ranma because he was no longer a Real man. And because I was no longer a pig, nothing stood in our way of true love.
Because, once the curse is lifted, nothing will stop me from dating Akane. Besides Ranma, he'll be simple enough to get rid of. I had no more worries, my fate was sealed.
