Chapter 7
'"Just whose idea was it to come to this place?"' Hego -- the self-proclaimed leader of Team Go dressed in blue and black -- asked his brothers. They were currently running away from a group of angry bird people who had become angry with the team for trespassing and trying to attack them.
'"Don't try to act all innocent, Hego."' Mego -- the stuck-up member of the team dressed in purple and black -- stated in annoyance. '"It was your idea that these people might have been part of Aviarius's group. Surprise, surprise, they turn out to be just a tribe of bird people ruled by some nutso eight-year-old bird-boy."'
'"He said that he was a phoenix."' Wego -- the younger members of the group. Identical twins who dress in red and black -- stated at once. '"He seems kind of--"' One of them began
'"Like a rather sadistic eight-year-old too."' The other finished. The other twin nodded in response. '"He mentioned something about us interrupting--'"
'"A bubble bath, and that he would kill us for that."'
After several moments of running, they had finally escaped the bird people. They were all in the clear, except for one small matter that had been left unchecked. '"Airen!'" A young girl with bright green hair shouted as she latched onto Hego.
'"And there's another problem with our journey to this place."' Mego stated with annoyance. '"We really should have checked out customs or something. Now Hego has a girl chasing after him, and that will most likely make him even more egotistical."'
The twins looked at each other. '"He's not the one who's--"'
'"Egotistical."' They said, much to the annoyance of their older brother in purple.
'"I am not!"' The brother in purple shouted with his arms crossed. He gave a side-long glance towards the brother in blue. '"Feh, I should be the leader of this team. Think of how much better I would be. I wouldn't be childishly bossy or a Superman wannabe."' A frown came to him. '"I would also never state such corny lines. 'The birds have flown back to their nest'. Well, at least you're not calling teamwork 'Go-operation' anymore."'
Hego tried to calm his brother down. '"Now wait a second Mego."' He simply stated. '"Let's get back to the task at hand, which is trying to find out where Shego is."' There was also the idea of trying to get away from this clingy Amazon girl. '"Considering what we heard, she might come back and fight for the side of justice. Imagine, the five of us back together and fighting crime."'
'"I don't think--"'
'"That it'll ever happen."' The twins in red stated.
Mego rolled his eyes. '"See, the twins know the truth… this time."'
'"HEY!"' Wego cried out indignantly at once.
The young Amazon had started to giggle to herself. These brothers were so fun to watch argue. She had to slightly wonder what their sister would be like. Maybe the woman had some odd quirks as well that balanced them all out.

'"I'm sorry Dr. Drakken, but there has been no sight of Shego in this place yet."' A henchman said over a video screen to the blue-skinned mad scientist. '"I have picked up some odd curse that turns me into an octopus though. Apparently these springs are cursed by whatever drowned in them."'
'"How in the name of all that is understandable did an octopus drown?"' Drakken asked while scratching the back of his head. '"Unless it ended up getting drunk or something and forgot it could survive in water."'
A sweat-drop formed on the head of the henchmen. '"Err… that's a slight possibility, Dr. Drakken."' A larger man in red stated. '"We doubt that Shego is around the vicinity though."'
Anger came to the blue genius. '"Search all of Asia if you have to. Finish up looking in China, and then start in Japan. We need to find Shego as soon as possible."'
'"Why so soon?"'
Drakken held up a large jar. '"I can't open my pickles!!"' He shouted with tears running down his cheeks. '"I haven't had a pickle in six weeks, because Shego is the one who opens them!"' He attempted to turn the lid. '"I -- can't -- get -- urgh -- these stupid things open!"' The bumbling genius slammed the jar onto the table. '"CURSE YOU PICKLES!!!"' The glass jar began to crack due to the slam to the table. Drakken watched as the glass continued to crack until it broke open and spilled pickles and juice everywhere. '"My pickles! NOOOOOOOO!! They must not go to waste!"' He began stuffing pickles into his mouth.
'"Um… Dr. Drakken?"' A henchman said over the video link. Another lackey tapped him on the shoulder and motioned for them to go.
'"Six weeks without a pickle… oh how I missed you."'

'"Agent Will Du reporting, Dr. Director."' The stoic and clean-cut #1 agent of Global Justice stated into his communicator watch. '"I haven't found much of interest around here. I did witness a small battle a while ago between some villains and that Team Go, as well as a few other random heroes."'
'"Have you anything else to report, Will Du?"' Dr. Better Director asked in curiosity.
'"Well,"' the man began, '"I accidentally got into an argument with some wolf boy several moments ago. He was annoying me a little, so I zapped him unconscious with my watch. I also seem to have lost myself in some strange collection of springs with bamboo poles sticking out of the--"'
He was interrupted from his speech when his foot slipped and sent him tumbling into a spring. '"Oh, I sorry."' The Jusenkyou guide said appearing almost instantly. '"Sir fall into spring of drowned girl. Legend say a girl fall into spring and drowned 1500 years ago. Now whoever fall into spring, take body of young girl with cold water."'
'"Will Du, are you ok?"' A worried voice from the watch asked after hearing what the guide said. The agent in question broke the surface and climbed slowly out of the spring. The now female GJ worker had looked himself over before looking at his reflection in the spring.
Her features now took a more feminine look to them, and her hair gained a slight blonde tint to it. The color didn't look too different from a quick glance, though. She appeared to be about the same height, but the suit she wore had become a little uncomfortable due to her figure and breasts.
'"Will Du reporting, Dr. Director."' The voice was now higher and feminine. '"I appear to now be female. This is… an odd turn of events indeed. It is a minor inconvenience though."' The now female Will stated in the usual calm voice.

"Oh… my head." Kim stated as her eyes slowly opened. She had attempted to sit up, but her body had protested against it. Her mind had slowly begun to catch up with what had happened just a little while ago. 'How did Shego get so good?' Her face broke out into a wince. 'I didn't know such pain was even possible.'
"Oh good, you're awake." A male voice stated from near the doorway. The redhead's eyes looked to see that Ranma -- accompanied by Ron and Rufus -- was sitting in front of the wall. "You look as if you competed in five rounds against a rabid boxing kangaroo and lost."
Ron blinked and looked towards him. "You know, that was lamer than anything I could come up with." Shaking the thought out of his mind, he looked back at his friend. "How are you doing, KP?"
"Sore all over, can barely move, and feel like crap." The girl stated simply. "I can't believe I lost to Shego like that. It was almost as if I was an amateur." That brought a thought to her. "Hey, where is she anyway."
The braid-haired boy chose that moment to speak. "After Sheila -- that's the name she goes by around here -- fought with you, she carried you into the house. Kasumi and she proceeded to treat your bruises with some cream and bandages." It had been embarrassing to have to help Kasumi put ointment on the redhead. 'She' didn't want to see the girl nearly nude, but the oldest Tendo had stated that since 'she' was the one who caused the bruises, 'she' would have to help. "After that, she left to get back to going apartment hunting." The raven-haired boy decided that maybe it would be a good idea to get an apartment. It was for the sole reason of having a place that 'Sheila' could use for certain things like this.
Shock had come to Kim's face. "Wait a second… Shego saw me naked and touched me?!" The entire thought disturbed her greatly. Her arch-nemesis seeing her nude and touching her was not something she would ever think would happen. The redhead's body turned an interesting shade of red. "Just what is her plan? There has to be some reason she's doing all this."
"Oh yes," Ranma began, "She knew you were going to ask that, and had me tell you something she wanted you to know in response."
The teen hero's face perked up. "Yes, what is it?" Would she finally get to know what the woman was up to?
"She told me to tell you…" The pale boy raised a hand, extended his index finger in front of his mouth, and began waving it. "Now that… is a secret." There was a massive face-fault from two teens and a naked mole rat. One of the teens felt in even more pain after the fault. "Oh, you all have seen the anime Slayers as well?" Ranma asked as he began to take another sip of his vanilla hazelnut tea. 'Damn it, this stuff is so good.'
'I will tell you this once, Ranma.' Shego began in the back of the boy's head. 'You have completely made my day with everything that has happened today. It has been too long since have truly felt amusement like this.'
'Glad I could be of service, She-chan.' The young Saotome stated back, much to the annoyance of the figment.
"Wait a second. I just thought of something." Ron commented with wide eyes. He turned to look at the braid-haired boy. "Ranma, you said yesterday that you've never met Shego, and yet you seem to know who she is now."
Kim's eyes widened at her friend's sudden observation skill. "Hey, that's right. You did tell us that, Ranma." Two pairs of eyes began to look in Ranma's direction. "So how do you explain that?"
'Crap, I'm trapped.' The azure-eyed boy thought to himself before an idea formed. "She mentioned something about you two, and she asked me to not say anything. Since she never showed an evil side -- except for minor threats to people who try to threaten her -- I felt no reason to distrust her." Hopefully the two bought the story.
"I guess that makes sense." The redhead answered back slowly. 'Just what is Shego's game? She's acting nice around all these people, has a job at a high school, and seems to be acting slightly weird. She's also a hell of a lot better than she used to be.'
"Oh my, you're awake." A gentle voice interrupted from the doorway. Kim looked to see a tall girl of about 19 with long brown hair in a ponytail. "Sheila really did a number on you." The teen heroine could have sword the girl was trying to keep a small giggle in. "Oh, where are my manners. I'm Kasumi Tendo."
The younger girl's green eyes widened. "You're one who helped Shego put cream on me, aren't you?" For some reason, Kim couldn't feel anything wrong with it. Maybe it was because of the feeling of serenity that surrounded the girl. "Thank you for the help, Kasumi."
"Oh, think nothing of it. I do feel I would have a little chat with my friend about going a little too rough though." Nobody except for a certain Ranma noticed the sidelong glance towards him, nor did they see the slight twinkling in her eyes at doing such a thing. Ranma saw this and felt a little on the nervous side. "Then maybe after the talk, we could go to the store and try on outfits. I know a nice skirt, halter-top, and stockings that would look perfect on her." A sweat-drop formed on the pale boy.
'Kasumi is quite the natural at being devious.' Shego noted in admiration. 'Subtleness hidden behind a wall of peace and tranquility. Nobody would ever suspect.'
'Too natural if you ask me.' Ranma answered back.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"You know, I think you have quite a bit of potential." Ranma stated to Ron as they sat at the table downstairs. Rufus was sitting on the table and eating some potato chips. Kim was also sitting at the table, but she was trying to ignore the pain throughout her body. "You seem clumsy and unfocused, but I can sense a kind of hidden talent in you."
The blonde boy scratched the back of his head. "Are you sure that's me and not Rufus? I haven't given him a bath in two days." Sure he had random moments when he could use martial arts talent, but it came and went quickly. His naked mole rat friend gave a small indignant glare in his direction. "Sorry about that buddy."
Akane chose that moment to enter the room. "Why do you have a naked mole rat for a pet anyway?" The creature was kind of freaky in some weird alien creature kind of way. "Why not something like a cat or a dog or something?"
The male half of the team picked the animal up in his hands and sent a small glare towards the youngest Tendo. "Rufus is better than any other animal out there. If it wasn't for the fact that my dad is allergic to every kind of animal, then I never would have met my little buddy here." The hairless rodent gave a cheer and a nod.
"I hope your rat has had all his shots then." The dark-haired girl stated with a shiver. She was not too fond of rats, especially the one that chased her once when she was six-years-old. This one, however, was completely hairless. That was just… gross.
Ron frowned and turned his head towards his hairless companion. "Don't worry Rufus, you aren't contagious. Don't listen to crazy people who don't know a thing of what they're talking about."
"Hey, who are you calling crazy?" Akane asked in annoyance. 'Where the hell does he get off at saying things like that to me?' The youngest Tendo was about to reach for the boy's shirt collar when the sound of a clearing throat interrupted her. Looking over, the dark-haired girl spotted Ranma staring right at her. The thing that really un-nerved her was the fact that his eyes took on a hard gaze, and the blue had taken on a small green tint to it.
"Akane," he began, "what did Sheila say about your little temper tantrums?" The girl he was talking to began to stutter, and their guests were suddenly interested. "I seem to remember that she stated that if you can't get those emotions under control, she would have to take the matter into her own hands." The dark-haired tomboy began to pale a bit at the thought. Getting up from her seat, the youngest Tendo gave a forced apology and left the room. She wanted to get a little distance from the psycho living in her house.
'Who would have thought that a threat like that would put so much fear into her?' Ranma thought with a bit of humor. 'You'd think somebody like her would be happy to do a little extensive training to better her-self in martial arts.'
'The methods you described to train her weren't the most appealing to a normal person, Ranma.' Shego answered back. 'Tying 10lb weights to her arms and legs with a large boulder strapped to her back is not ideal training.' A small silence occurred. 'I will mention that some of the other ideas you had were sheer brilliance.'
'Now you know very well that it was your influence that brought up that idea.' The braid-haired boy shot back. 'I never would have guessed that you would be such a sadist.'
'Is that sarcasm in your voice? You realize I wasn't serious with that whole idea, right? I do find things like that entertaining though.' Ranma could have sworn the voice did a side-long glance. 'How could you think that someone like me would be like that?'
'Well,' the raven-haired boy began, 'you do like to inflict pain on people, and it does seem to make you happy. Hell, you were positively elated that I defeated Kimmie -- damn you Shego -- like that.'
'And your point is?' The figment asked with a slight bored tone to it. 'I have a thing for destruction and all that good stuff. The Princess just happens to be one of them.'
Before the aquatransexual could respond, the odd communication device of Kim's activated. '"Kim, I have the results of comparing the DNA, and I took the liberty of scanning the other people around the house."' The voice of Wade announced from the view-screen. Ranma's face became devoid of emotion at the statement.
Curious as to what the results were, the teen heroine gave a nod. "What did you find out?"
'"Well, after a complete study of the DNA structures, I have come to the conclusion that 'Sheila' is indeed Shego."' The redhead nodded at that information. She already found out first hand about that fact. '"There's something else I feel you should know about Ranma's DNA."'
The two teens and mole rat blinked before glancing at the aforementioned boy. He was putting on a show of looking just as in the dark as everyone else was. "What did you find out?" The battered girl asked in interest.
'"Well, Ranma's DNA seems to have some similarities with Shego's DNA. It's his, but there's some of her's mixed in as well. In fact, it seems to make up an odd little balance of some kind. I'm sorry, but I am completely stumped on this, Kim."' This earned the braid-haired boy a series of looks.
Kim was completely confused as well. The only possible way was if Ranma and Shego had a lot more in common than pale skin, black hair, and martial arts. "What… does this mean?"
"OH! I figured it out!" Ron shouted with an arm in the air. The blonde boy had figure it out, and there was a smile of achievement on his face.
A frown came to Ranma. "What is it that you figured out?" This was a slight annoyance. The young Saotome and Shego both agreed on keeping it a secret for a little while longer. 'Well, it looks like the evil cat is out of the bag.'
"It's so easy that I don't know how I could have missed it." The clumsy member of Team Possible stated. "Shego went back in time, right?" At the series of nods, he continued. "It makes sense that she may have actually fallen in love, gave birth, and found a way to be brought back to this point in time. Ranma is actually a descendant of Shego."
The voice in the back of Ranma's head began to laugh. 'Me, fall in love in a strange time and have a kid? Who in their right mind would believe a load of garbage like that?'
'"That actually seems like the most probable conclusion, Ron. The DNA is weirder than how one would think, but it does seem like the only conclusion as of right now."' Wade commented in surprise. The genius wondered why he hadn't thought of it in the first place. "I mean it would make sense. The similarities between the two, the fact that Ranma knows quite a bit about Shego, and then there's the fact that he lied to mislead Kim."'
"My god… it does make sense." The redhead stated as she looked at the boy in question with wide eyes. "Whoever knew that Shego had a romantic bone in her body? The most likely outcome was that I'd figure she would grow into a lonely and miserable old hag."
A growl escaped from the voice in the back of Ranma's mind. 'Oh yes, she's going to pay for that.' The braid-haired boy could almost sense a feral smirk. 'I think playing on her little embarrassment from a few moments ago would be good. Making her paranoid and freaked out will be better than any other form of punishment. Here's what we'll do Ranma.' The young Saotome listened to Shego's plan and almost laughed out. 'And for now, we'll go with you being a descendant of mine.'
"Am I right, Ranma? Is The Ron on the ball?" The blonde boy asked in utter excitement. If so, then this would be his greatest discovery since the Naco. "Oh! Can you also use Shego's energy thingies if it's true?"
"This will probably answer both questions." The aquatransexual stated as he raised his hand. A green glow sprung up around his hand. 'Hey, it's slowly getting easier to do in this form.' A smile came to his lips as he looked towards the two pairs of shocked eyes. With a strong bit of concentration, he formed a toy hammer. "I was the one who figured out that it was possible to reshape the energy."
"BOOYAH!!" Ron shouted as he proceeded to do a small dance. Kim slapped herself upside the head, Rufus shook his head, and Ranma blinked.
"Hey Ron," The redhead began, "I think it's time we get back to the families that we're currently staying with while we're here in Japan." Getting to her feet, she gave a small wince at the pain of her body. "At least the pain doesn't feel as bad as it did a little while ago."
A smile came to the braid-haired boy. "Well they do say no pain, no gain." The girl raised an eyebrow in his direction. "Maybe you'll learn from this encounter and try harder to surpass your arch-foe. Unless you plan on just letting it all slide."
"No way!" Kim stated loudly. "Since I'm aware of this slight weakness in my ability, I'm going to be ready for the next time she decides to attack me. There's no telling if she'll go back to Drakken or not." Her expression turned thoughtful. "Say Ranma, what are you planning to do with your own powers? I hope you don't decide to follow down Shego's path." The boy seemed like a very good martial artist, and it would be difficult to fight two people with the same powers and skill. He was also kind of good-looking, and it would be a shame to have to fight against him.
The raven-haired boy scratched the back of his head and gave a shrug. "I don't plan on becoming a hero, and I don't plan on becoming a villain. I think I'll just take whatever life throws at me and deal with it. It might be more amusing that way instead of just looking for trouble. Think of it as living life on a whim."
"You really do remind me a bit of Shego." The currently sore teen stated with a sigh. Why did she suddenly feel that she would be fighting against the boy a few times in the future? "Well, let's go Ron." She said as she began to slowly walk out.
"Coming KP" the blonde boy answered back as he picked up Rufus and put him in his pocket. The two teens began to walk off past the large panda and black-haired man playing shogi. They slightly wondered how a panda could play, but decided to ignore it and proceeded out the front door. After they left, a small smirk came to the aquatransexual.
Getting to his feet, he proceeded towards the kitchen to get a little water. This would be the perfect opportunity to enact Operation: Tease Kim Possible.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"I've never seen you this banged up before, KP." Ron stated as he walked alongside his friend. The redhead had a limp to her walk as they moved down the sidewalk. The blonde could tell that it must have been painful, since a wince would appear on her face every few seconds.
"Uh-huh, pain" Rufus stated in from his spot in Ron's pants pocket.
"I'll be fine after I have a nice not bath." Kim responded. She had actually learned from this day. What she learned was that a fight with Shego at the moment was a big no. Until she could get a true basis of the pale woman's current abilities, charging head-on would only bring more pain.
The two were brought out of their discussion when a voice popped up. "Hmm, you know what Pumpkin? I really DID do a number on you." Their eyes looked for the source of the voice and saw 'Shego' sitting comfortably on the wall next to the sidewalk. An annoying smirk was found on her face.
Groaning due to not wanting to be around the woman at the moment, the younger girl waved her arm. "Can we do this another time Shego? My body is not in the condition to fight." She was obviously aware that if she fought now, she'd be flat on her face.
"I am very well aware of that after I helped put cream on your body after our fight. I must say, you do keep your body in good condition." Ranma had to bite back a laugh that threatened to come out when she caught sight of a large blush of embarrassment that appeared on Kim's face. "That's quite an interesting shade of red on your face. I wonder what the cause of it is."
"You--"
"Oh yes, and we must discuss this whole matter of you thinking that I'd just grow into a miserable and lonely old hag." At the shocked look on their faces, she became serious. "I was listening in on the conversation and overheard you say that. Now really Kimmie, must you be so rude?" With a hop, she landed onto the pavement and began to walk up to the redhead. Both members of Team Possible were put on guard when green energy popped up around the woman's hands.
Kim was definitely not in any condition to fight. "Stay back Shego. I'll--" She was interrupted in what she was about to say when her arch-nemesis's face appeared right in front of hers. Her eyes widened in shock when the older woman planted a quick peck on her cheek. "Wha -- what?" Her entire body turned into one big blush, and her two companions could only stare on in shock.
"There's other ways to fight when the opponent is in no condition to, Princess. I'm just using a different method: Your embarrassment over certain things that have happened today. It seems that it works quite well if your blush is any indication." A feral smile came to the pale woman as she brought a finger up and pushed against the forehead of the currently catatonic redhead. The amount of force she used sent the girl off balance and falling onto her back.
"Ooowwwww…" The Possible girl whined as the pain shot throughout her body. Ron was brought out of his shock and began to help his friend up. "That was completely low, even for you." Kim stated with a glare towards the raven-haired woman. A blush formed when said woman got within inches of her face again.
"And talking about me behind my back like you did wasn't low?" Cold green eyes stared with intensity into the younger girl's. "As they say: One good turn deserves another." She gave a small flick to the girl's nose. In an instant, Ron was standing in front of the redhead. He looked completely nervous, but his face had shown his readiness. Rufus was on his head and growling. "Oh, I see there still is some fighting spirit on the team at the moment. What do you say Stoppable? You want to have a small fight?"
"Well -- I -- get out of here, Shego. My knees may be too numb to move, but I won't let you hurt my friend while she's in no condition to fight." His naked mole rat gave a sharp nod in her direction. 'Back off… please back off.'
To his relief, the pale woman gave a small shrug and backed off. "I've already had enough fun today, and so I'll see you all again." She became thoughtful. "Ah, Monday I believe it is. Today's Friday, and so you'll be able to recover over the weekend. See you at school, Kimmie." After saying that, the raven-haired woman had vanished through the use of that odd trick of hers.
Both teens shared a relieved sigh at the woman's disappearance. "You know, maybe I should see if Ranma would like to train me or something." Ron stated nervously. "What's there to lose? Well, besides my pants in a training accident." He just felt completely helpless at not being able to help his friend at a time like this.
"He might decide to try and help you. I did notice that he seemed to be a lot more nice and helpful than Shego could ever hope to be." Kim commented as the two began to walk down the sidewalk again. "I don't know why, but it feels as if there's something that I'm missing in all of this."
"Re-tracing your steps can always help with that. I remember that one time with the library book… oh yeah, it was in my backpack the whole time." The blonde boy stated as he thought about it.
Unbeknownst to them, there had been a couple people watching them leave. One of them had been hiding in the bushes, and it almost looked like the person had purple hair. The figure left the bushes after watching the redhead and blonde boy leave. The purple-haired sneak thought that nobody had seen her.
The other person was a certain Saotome cloaked within the Umisenken. 'So Shampoo is around here as well. Nerima is starting to get a little more interesting.' There was a small pause as she watched the retreating forms of Kim and Ron. 'Hmm… I might be able to have fun with this. Offering to train that boy could provide a little fun. I wonder how they would react to know that the person who Kim has been fighting against, and the one who is helping Ron, are one in the same.'
'I actually want to see their brains fry when they finally figure it out.' Shego chuckled within Ranma's mind. 'What exactly are you planning to do at the moment?'
'I'm planning on doing the thing that I've been dying to do all week.' The boy turned woman stated in an obvious manner. 'I'm going to spend this weekend in my birth form. I just need some time to spend in that form, otherwise I'm going to end up going crazy. I'm going to try and learn those Amazon techniques you showed me. The Bakusai Tenketsu is out of the question though. I wouldn't be able to do the training alone or anything.'
She could almost feel a smirk to the voice. 'So you're going to say 'screw it' to the fact that outsiders should not learn these skills unless asked?'
'You got it. Why should I be afraid of what those bimbos would try and do just because an outsider knows their 'oh-so-precious' skills? I say it's time to show that they can't control every little detail. They need a taste of the outside world, and I'll be the one to give it to them.' Looking around to see if she could spot anybody, the currently 23-year-old woman popped back into view.
'You really do corrupt nicely, Ranma.' Shego stated with a hint of interest in her voice. 'I guess all you needed was the right influence to get you kick-started in a certain direction.' A chuckle came from the figment. 'Maybe we should have a little fun with messing around with the minds of the Yakuza later on. Who knows, maybe we could create a little excitement in this ward.'
All Ranma had been able to come up with was a raised eyebrow as she began to walk back towards the Tendo Dojo. If they were to do that, then it needed to be thought out properly. It wouldn't do for the Yakuza to catch on that it was her doing the stuff. Then again, maybe it would be fun to put them in their place. Then she -- or he depending on things -- could become a leader. 'Wait a second… where the hell did that thought come from?' A frown had appeared on her face. 'Shego!'
'Hey, it's not my doing on purpose. I can't help it that chaos and all things similar are so much fun to think about.' The voice 'smiled'. 'I will say one thing though. You set your sights quite high.'
'With thanks to your influence though.'
'Admit it, you like being cunning, devious, slightly evil, and a little manipulative of things. You may still have your sense of right and wrong, but you are no longer 'pure' in regards to the whole thing. You'll take whatever amuses you and do it, won't you?'
Ranma slumped forward a bit as she walked. 'Yes ma'am.' She thought back with a sigh. "It stinks when you can't hide anything from a voice in your head." That comment gained her a few looks from some people passing by.
"Don't pay attention to the crazy lady who's obviously mentally insane, dear." A mother said to her child as she gave a glance to the pale woman. She picked up her child and ran when the aforementioned pale woman's hands started to glow green.
'Obviously mentally insane my buttocks.' The young Saotome grumbled with a pout as she watched the dust trail that the mother had made. 'Hey, stop laughing Shego.' She stated to the figment that seemed to be laughing her non-existent butt off. 'Oh yeah, you are going to--'
"Excuse me, but do you know where Furinkan High School is?" The voice interrupted Ranma from her mental argument. Turning around, the pale woman caught sight of a boy who was around her age in her birth form. His clothes seemed to be travel worn, and on his head was a tiger striped bandana.
To the boy turned woman, the newcomer looked vaguely familiar. "It's roughly in that direction. You can't miss it. I will tell you that school won't be back in session until Monday." Why did the boy seem so familiar?
The strange boy gave a bow. "Thank you ma'am." He then proceeded to walk in the completely wrong direction that he had been told to go in. "Soon Ranma Saotome. Soon I will have my revenge." The boy in the bandana stated to himself. He didn't realize that the woman he was talking to had heard him.
'Oooo, this is exciting.' Shego stated with a bit of anticipation. 'You have somebody out for your guts. Somebody with a very bad sense of direction as well. What could you possibly have done to make him that angry?'
The green-eyed woman tried to think for a few moments. Her eyes widened when she finally remembered. 'That was Ryoga Hibiki. We went to the same middle school, and I always managed to get the last bread of the lunch period before him. He finally challenged me to a duel in the vacant lot that was 500 yards from his house. I waited three days, and I had to leave after that.'
'Well that's a petty thing for a grudge.'
'Yeah, but I'll worry about it sometime next week. If I'm correct, it'll be a little while before he makes it back here.' Ending the discussion, the raven-haired woman opened the gates to the Tendo home and walked in.

Little did the aquatransexual know, a mysterious figure had been hiding behind a wall and had watched her movements. His eyes were hidden behind a pair of large and thick glasses. 'Soon I will have my revenge for all the things you did to my precious Xian Pu.' The man thought as he slinked away from his spot near the wall. He didn't get far before he collided with a lamp post. The collision caused the post to wiggle, and an odd little ninja monkey that was stationed on the top of it fell down onto the myopic warrior.
"Oookie…" It managed out before shaking its head of a bit of dizziness. After looking around, it hopped out of sight and back into the shadows.

Another chapter finished. Three players from the Ranmaverse have appeared, and two of them are quite earlier than usual.
Oooo, and a ninja monkey has spotted 'Shego'. This can't be all that good.
