A/N I realize this story is progressing at a high pace but I have a lot of time on my hands and 2 the story is practically writing itself. I had Hoped Ryoga be in the story sooner and but it was not meant to be.

Jonasan and Ranma was silent during their sparring session the next morning and while walking to school together with Akane. They had taken to walking to school together from the day of the apology since they left from the Tendo house together anyways.
For some reason that day was especially quiet. Akane noticed it but knew what it was since Ranma told her everything. When Ranma came back last night she was the only one he told where he been and what he was been doing. However she also knew Jonasan might not know that she knew.
Jonasan who notices everything also noticed the silence. He also knew what it was about. After all he was a part of it last night. He looked at Akane and saw a look on her face that told him a lot. He guessed right that she would be the only one Ranma could confide in. He also trusted her with his secrets. He would not have told Ranma anything otherwise.
Jonasan could not take the silence any longer. "Ranma, about last night…."
Ranma did something that surprised him. He shushed him, "Shhhh….." while flashing a look at Akane.
"Oh come now Ranma. I know you tell Akane everything. I know she knows you been talking to me at my house last night and know about my history as well. I am glad she knows. It saves me the trouble. Can we be friends Akane?"
Akane thought they were already friends so she nodded her head yes.
"Ranma, I thank you for taking care of Mouse last night."
"You know about that? I thought I was being stealthy."
"You were but I had a camera zoom in on Mouse's position just as you ambushed him. I nearly laughed myself to death," said Jonasan while laughing.
Quickly Jonasan stopped laughing and got in a defensive position. Ranma was puzzled. "What is it man?"
"I sense a very familiar chi pattern. Every time I sense this chi pattern I get attacked by a certain eternally lost person." Jonasan reached down to his pant leg and came back up with a familiar water pistol.
'A Certain eternally lost person,' thought Ranma. Ranma eyed the water pistol in Jonasan hand then turned to Akane. All at once Ranma saw a disaster in the making. "Jonasan, waaiiiittttt…"
He was too late for, "Ranma, Prepare to d…" Jonasan sprayed Ryoga with the water pistol causing him to turn into his black piglet form. And the worst part of all this Akane was right there watching the whole thing.
Stunned Akane fell to the ground. 'Ryoga has a curse. He turned into P-Chan'. Akane slowly recounted in her brain all the entire past few years she known Ryoga and of P-Chan. She recounted how P-Chan seemed to hate Ranma and how Ranma hated per pet back. She recounted all the clues Ranma would give as to Ryoga's curse. Ranma tried to tell he she sure of it. It was Ryoga that was keeping it secret.
Then darker thoughts went through Akane's mind. She was recounting the number of times she stripped while P-Chan/Ryoga was in the room and the number of times he slept cuddled in her bosom in the disguise of P-Chan. Akane at that time could only see red, the red of extreme anger. Quickly she called forth a mallet..er..no it was a war hammer she called up. Ranma saw it and was surprised by it. The hammer was even laced Akane's own chi.
This time she was serious. And in the span of a few seconds she had jumped in several levels. Ryoga was in deep trouble and Ranma was helpless for if he jumped in he might get severely hurt. All he could do is watch and pray Ryoga can get away safely.
Jonasan had read thoroughly the reports from the security team of how Ryoga conned Ranma into keeping his secret. He hated it. Therefore he vowed to expose Ryoga the first time he could. What Ryoga was doing with his curse goes against every fiber in his being. He also knew it was not his place to punish Ryoga. The only thing he could do was expose Ryoga and let the chips fall where they lay.
Jonasan could not let Ranma watch what was about to happen. He quickly grabbed Ranma's hand and ran toward Furinkan and away from Akane and her prey. "Jonasan, wait. Ryoga…"
"Is about to get what he deserves, Ranma." Jonasan finished. "You know that as well. Do you really want to see that?"
Ranma thought for a second then nodded his head no. Jonasan offered his hand to Ranma. Ranma took and allowed Jonasan to drag him away from the scene at a high pace. Ranma cheeks burned as he thought that this man once again solved another of his problems.
The last thing Ranma heard from the scene before they got out of range was Akane screaming, "RYOGA, PREPARE TO DIE!"
That was the last time anyone heard from Ryoga in this reality.

A/N A moment of silence please…okay long enough moment. I never liked how Ryoga would use his curse with Akane like that. All through the anime I hoped that one time he would be exposed. I understand why he was not but still I did not like it at all.
