Ranma's Cured?
by Sara T. Fontanini
Chapter 1: Ranma's Shame
Ranma stood in the pouring rain, gathering his thoughts, his destination in front of him. Should he or shouldn't he? On the one hand, he hadn't visited this place for a long time. And he had missed them for so long. On the other, he wasn't sure he'd be greeted with open arms. He didn't exactly leave on good terms with everybody.
He sighed. Better to face the music now rather than later.
He gathered his wits, and he knocked on the door to the Tendo Dojo. It was now or never.
-----------------------
Kasumi was busy dusting when she heard a knock on the door. She turned around and went to the door. When she opened it, she gasped.
Standing on the front porch was Ranma Saotome, his black hair dripping wet. He smiled.
"Hey, Kasumi. Long time no see."
Kasumi looked flabbergasted. "Ranma, you....you're......"
She couldn't say it. It simply defied all logic.
After all, standing there, in all his glory, was a Ranma Saotome CURED of his curse.
"Um, yeah, about that....." Ranma said, nervously. "Could you call the rest of your family? I need to explain..."
The sound of her fainting was what brought everyone to the door. And then they stared.
------------------------
Ranma looked sheepish under their gaze as Nabiki proceeded to dump another cup of cold water over him.
"I don't believe it..." She said, eyes wide. "It's just not possible...."
Everyone else nodded, their expressions the same as the mercenary girl's.
Ranma just looked to the ground nervously. "Well, actually..."
He was interrupted by Soun Tendo grasping him in a crushing hug, tears flowing down his eyes.
"My boy, I'm overjoyed! Now you and Akane can finally get engaged!"
Akane glared at her father. "As if I want to marry that PERVERT!"
Soun glared back. "Akane, this is for the schools...."
"Screw the schools! I don't care if he is cured, he's still a --"
"EVERYONE JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!"
They stared at the boy who had just shouted. Ranma had never raised his voice like that, except at people who REALLY got under his skin. They then noticed his expression.
He was miserable. In fact, he was crying tears that rivaled Soun's own.
Akane let her anger drop, curious to know why he was so sad. "Ranma, I thought you'd be happy to be cured..."
Ranma turned his head away from them, his sadness turning to anger. "Yeah, I'd be happy if I was cured, but this isn't what I wanted!"
At that, he pulled his pants down.
"Ranma, you pervert!" Akane screamed.
"Oh my!" Kasumi muttered.
Soun tried to look impassive, but was crying all the same.
Nabiki took out a camera. Some people would love a shot of THAT.
But then they just stared.
"See now?" The boy said, misery in his voice. "This is what you would call a CURE. I don't change at ALL when hit with water."
They said nothing, continuing to stare.
Ranma's upper half was still the same old male Ranma.
But his bottom half....was very clearly a woman's.
--------------------
Shocking isn't it. That defiantely called for a DUN DUN DUUUN. But whatever.
I got the idea for this from the often theorized but never actualized situation of Ranma getting his cure, and the curses mixing. Several fics in the past theorized what would happen if this situation had occured, but NONE have ever actually shown it happening. Well, none that I've read.
So, after getting the idea for this fic, I decided to follow just that course. But in a way that none had ever thought of, presumably.
Aren't I evil?
Hope ya like it! And please review!
