A/N: Burning frost has given me permission to take over that is all.

Hi everyone I'm back.

Don't worry some of the scenes will happen in present time meaning when Ranma is not writing anything at all as it is happening to him right at that moment.

NOTE Ranma's Jusenkyo curse is non-existent. If you don't like it then I apologize, for your lack of originality. Click back anytime you wish.

As a reminder Reiko is Ryouga in girl form

Ranma jumped down into an empty clearing in the forest with a sigh. "That damn Kodachi, she's been bugging me about Ryouga ever since the match." He muttered angrily as her insane laughing drifted pass his hiding spot. "Never thought I'd be right about her being a lesbian." He mumbled softly as he glanced around the tree to make sure she was really gone. Sitting down Ranma warily pulled out his journal and pen. "Alright then…hopefully there are no distractions today."

Day 32

The day had begun normally for the Tendo household, namely, Ranma waking up to the feeling of Nabiki pinching his ass, him whacking her on the head with his Shinai and then Akane smacking him with a mallet for being mean to her older sister. Ryouga in male form sleepily stuck his head into the room and yawned. "What's going on so early in the morning?" he asked eyes half closed.

The three teens exchanged glances before turning away from each other muttering "Nothing." Before they all sat around the table as Kasumi announced the morning meal. Ranma opting to sit between Genma and Ryouga in order to avoid Nabiki's wandering hands.

Suddenly there was a loud creaking sound coming from the nearby door sending a sudden fear through Ranma's body. "Oh come on at least let me finish my food." He muttered despairingly as he shot up and ran like hell just as the door fell inwards and Shampoo and her fellow warriors took off after him. "For the last time I'm not going to marry you!" he roared back as he ran.

"Wait Airen!" Shampoo cried as she threw a net at him. "Shampoo only want cozy time!" The glimmer in her eyes said otherwise making Ranma run even faster. Taking to the roof tops Ranma glanced back and noted that they were keeping up with him. "Damn it." He muttered "no choice have to use that." Spotting what he was looking for he turned towards it and poured on the speed. Taking a large leap forward he planted his foot on the rail of the fence and kicked off of it causing the loose portion to start spinning around like one of those pinball spinners knocking the group of amazons into the river below.

Ranma ignored her cries of "We'll catch you yet!" as he made a beeline for school. "Yeah whatever freaks." He muttered to himself as he arrived noting that Akane had already beaten up the horde who apparently haven't given up yet. "Idiots." He muttered noting that Kuno was missing from the usual ass beating. "Akane where's the blue blunder?"

Akane shrugged "I have no idea." She made a motion of dusting her hands off as she started towards the school entrance. "Personally I don't care either."

Ranma shrugged conceding the point. "True, he's probably trying to figure out a way to make you love him or something stupid like that." He stated casually with a flip of the hand.

"Are you saying I'm not lovable?" Akane asked defensively as she glared at the martial artist. Scoffing she made her way up to the classroom followed quickly by Ranma.

"With your personality…" he muttered pointedly ignoring her glare. "I'm surprised Kuno isn't scared of you by now if you've been beating his ass as long as you have been." Ignoring the swooning girls around him Ranma took his seat only to blink in surprise when a girl shyly approached him.

"Ran-chan…can we go on a date after school today?" she asked causing Ranma to blink in surprise as he took a second look at her. The girl was wearing the Furinkan high school girl's uniform and had long brown hair that was allowed to fall to the small of her back as she idly adjusted her hair band. Taking time to note that there wasn't any ill (Read: perverted) intent Ranma's eyes slowly drifted to the large object on her back.

"Ucchan?" he asked unsurely remembering quite well that the chef had appeared in male clothing the first day of her arrival. "That you?" he asked again making sure he wasn't hallucinating.

Shyly the okonomiyaki chef nodded her head as she began to twirl a strand of hair around her finger. "Yeah…I was hoping you'd go out with me today." She stated nervously as she looked away a blush on her face.

Ranma's mind raced a mile a second as he tried to figure out whether or not it would be safe for him to accept her invitation. 'On one hand Nabiki has Akane on her side and she doesn't seem to like the idea.' Indeed Akane was staring at him as if daring him to accept the date. 'On the other hand…Ucchan doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives. And I probably should catch up with her.' "Ah sure…I guess." He mumbled as all the girls moaned in defeat as Akane silently fumed as Ukyo squealing in girlish delight hugged him before heading to her own seat as the teacher walked in to start the day.


Break

Hearing the leaves of a nearby bush rustling Ranma quickly hid his belongings and shot up to his feet prepared to fight or flee depending on who it was. "Oh great where am I now?" the familiar voice of Ryouga asked aloud as he walked into view. "Ranma?" he asked upon seeing the pigtailed boy. "Oh good I'm still in Nerima." He sighed in what Ranma presumed to be in relief. "Could you lead me to the grocery store?"

Falling over in shock Ranma quickly regained his footing with a heavy sigh. "Alright buddy follow me." He muttered rubbing his forehead in exasperation. "How you get so lost is beyond me." He muttered to himself though Ryouga still heard him.

"HEY I'll have you know it's a family condition not just me!" he shouted as he made sure to keep Ranma in sight at all times. "Speaking of family I wonder where they are." He muttered as an afterthought. "Last I heard dad was in France" Ranma stumbled a little bit.

"By the way Ryouga how are you handling Kodachi?" he asked causing the lost boy to shiver. "It's that bad huh?" Ranma asked noting the reaction. "She try to paralyze you?"

Ryouga nodded as he hugged his arms. "I had been walking around in girl form with Kasumi ad she came out of nowhere, spouted something about true love, bowed to Kasumi and then tried to paralyze me with a bouquet of flowers." Suppressing another shiver Ryouga continued walking. "God she scares the hell out of me." He admitted as memories of her insane laughter filled his mind. So disturbed by his own memory Ryouga did not notice the little old lady watering down the front of her house as he ended up getting splashed.

Ranma paused noting the change and sighed "You okay?" he asked lightly causing Reiko to scowl.

"Ha, ha, ha…" she muttered as she blew a strand of hair out of her face. "Just shut up and lead me to the damn store." She eventually stated grumbling all the while as Ranma shrugged his shoulders.

"Sure thing." He muttered as he walked five steps forward "We're here." He stated pointing out the sign that read 'Kabana groceries'

Reiko blinked once in confusion before scowling "Smart ass." She muttered as she walked past him using her hips to bump him as she passed him by. "Anyways I'll be back at the dojo soon enough."

Ranma stared at her with a flat expression. "You sure about that?" he asked pointing out that she had somehow ended entering the record store next to the grocery store.

Blushing in embarrassment Reiko slowly made her way to the grocery store and walked in beckoning for Ranma to follow. "Maybe I may need a little help." She admitted with her eyes closed causing Ranma to chuckle at her expense. Scowling as he did so Reiko merely smacked him upside the head. "Jerk."

Placing a hand on her shoulder Ranma simply asked "What did Kasumi want anyways?" listening to her lost off the things needed to buy Ranma led her towards each item occasionally checking with the clerks when he didn't recognize an item. "Hey Reiko, you get the feeling that someone's watching us?"

Reiko shrugged "You tell me I'm used to it." She stated as she placed the last item into the basket she had grabbed before Ranma had led her around the store. Placing the basket on the conveyor belt to be scanned for the price she turned to Ranma "Hopefully the money Kasumi gave me will be enough for everything." Ranma nodded in agreement with a small smile in anticipation for Kasumi's home made meals.

The clerk, who happened to be a woman smiled wistfully as she watched the two. "Such a lucky girl." She mumbled loud enough for the two to hear her.

"Excuse me?" Reiko asked unsurely as she turned her attention onto the clerk. "Ah, how much do we owe you?" she asked as she pulled out her wallet.

The woman smiled and pointed at the number '3500 yen' "I'm jealous of you, you know." The clerk stated catching Reiko off guard as she stared dumbly at the clerk for a second before asking.

"What?"

"To have married such a handsome boy." The woman elaborated causing Ranma, who had just bought himself a drink to spit it out comically as he suffered a major coughing fit. "I'd love to wrestle with him under the sheets if you know what I mean."

Reiko realizing what the clerk was talking about quickly waved her arms in denial. "YOU'VE GOT IT ALL WRONG WE'RE NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL!" managing to calm herself down she continued "We're friends and I tend to get lost so he helps me get around town on occasion."

Ranma, just now recovering from his fit nodded in agreement. "She's right!" he shouted as he wiped his mouth. "Besides we're too young for stuff like that." He pointed out causing an odd twinkle to appear in the woman's eye.

"Really?" she asked as she leaned forward just enough to give him a small peak down her shirt. "So you're single?" she asked for clarity as the duo paid for their stuff.

"What of it?" Ranma asked warily getting a very bad feeling about the situation. Reiko calmly packed all the groceries into a bag and prepared to run as soon as the woman did something over the top as she would inevitably do.

The woman leaned forward some more causing Ranma to back away ever so slightly as he prepared to run away. Suddenly her arm shot forward faster than he was prepared for and grabbed his shirt as she pulled him closer and mashed her lips to his own. Gasping in surprise Ranma immediately regretted the action as the older woman shoved her tongue into Ranma's mouth.

Reiko though initially shocked by the woman's boldness quickly sprung into action as she grabbed the groceries in one hand and managed to grab Ranma's wrist with the other as she bolted out the door unfortunately ripping his shirt off in the process. Reiko ran as fast as she could and ended up right in front of Kasumi who blinked in surprise. "Kasumi! Some crazy lady just molested Ranma!"

Kasumi blinked again as Reiko's words registered. "Eh?" she asked utterly shocked by the whole thing as she tried to comprehend what Reiko was saying. Once she managed to regain her wits Kasumi immediately began to look over Ranma for any injuries. "Ranma-kun?" she asked cautiously as she tapped him on the shoulder. "Ranma-kun are you alright?" she asked again when he didn't respond.

Ranma's face was comical to say the least as his eyes bulged in surprise as his mouth hung open. No sound came out and it was hard for Kasumi to tell whether or not the boy was even conscious. "Oh dear…" she muttered as she glanced at Reiko "Reiko-chan I think we'll have to bring him back to the house."

Reiko nodded in agreement before grabbing hold of Ranma's wrist and following after the older girl. "Wonder what happened…it was only a kiss, he's been kissed by a lot of girls before." Reiko muttered aloud startling Kasumi.

Kasumi paused for only a second before she resumed her walk. "Now that is interesting isn't it?" she asked as she opened the door once they arrived at the house. "Set him down near the table I'll get some tea for when he wakes up…and some hot water for you."

Nodding in thanks Reiko sat down and pulled Ranma down with her in order to lay him down on the ground. Unfortunately, in an attempt to be gentle she had placed a hand behind his head in order to control the speed at which he fell and at the same time as she did so Nabiki walked into the room with Ukyo in tow. Frozen in place Reiko could only say "This isn't what it looks like" before the spatula came crashing down on her head.


End

I considered going further but I figured this would be a good spot to leave off. This is probably one of the harder stories for me to write because I'm having trouble thinking of ideas with Ranma's new situation. That, and I'm just not as into this one as I am for others.
