Chapter 9 Ranma Vs. Ukyo
Ranma is currently practicing various techniques in the Tedo's yard, before breakfest, while a panda Genma was packing all his worldly possessions in a lone suitcase, clearly worried about something.
When he finally closed the suitcase Genma held up a sign which read, 'Hurry up boy! There is no time to lose!'
Ranma paid no attention to his old man, as he continued practicing his moves.
Panda Genma grew a tickmark and wacked his son with the sign and held up another one that read, 'Oh woo is me,' flip, 'Cursed to have a son who has a son that,' flip, 'won't listen to his father!'
Ranma than his father in the back of the head and said, bearly hiding his angrily, "And I'm cursed to have a cowardly and dishonarable father!"
'I'm your father,' flip, 'And such I have more honor in my little toe,' flip, 'then you do in you do than you do in your entire body!'
Before Ranma could retort Kasumi came out with the breakfest and started placing the table and before anybody could blink Genma was sitting in his spot at the table, waiting to be served, causing Ranma face faulted at his fathers antics.

-Tendo Training Hall-
"I'll free you from the foul sorcerors spell, my beautiful tree-born bikini girl," Kuno cried as he was carrying a bouquet of flowers twice as big as he was tall.
"Ranma doesn't have me under a spell," Ranko shouted as she kicked the said kendoist in the gut causing him to crash through the training hall's wall.
"Then why don't you show thee love towards me, the Blue Thunder," Kuno said as he got up, as if he wasn't injured at all.
"That's because he and I are one in the same!" Ranko shouted in frustration.
Kuno's face lit up in realization, "That insolent cur! Making love with a maiden such thee will not go unpuninished! Don't fret my tree-born kettle girl I shall make Ranma Saotome pay for what he has done to thee, and we will be wed!"
With that Kuno looking for Ranma Saotome for Ranko's 'freedom', as Ranko merely groaned in displeasure.
Akane came in as if she was looking for something and she saw Ranko and she growled at him, "Have you seen Blue-chan?" she demanded as if it was Ranko's fault.
"Haven't seen her since she disappeared," Ranko replied noncohearently as she saw Ryoga, clearly lost, again, walking past the opened door of the training hall while holding a map.
Akane puffed up her chest and said, "You are useless Ranma."
Akane walked off in a huff, and Ranko said, "Just to show that there are no pleasing some people."
Ranko than poured some hot water herself, from a thermos, becoming a he again. Ranma shook off some of the water from his head and continued practicing his stances.
"Die you foul sorceror," Kuno said barging in trying to hit Ranma, but was was rewarded with a kick to the face, quickly knocking the idiot to the ground.

-Meanwhile in Jusenkyo-
Mousse was practicing on the bamboo pools above the cursed springs and muttering to himself, "I must defeat that vile Ranma so I can set Shampoo free from marrying that outsider and she and I can marry each other!"
Than he heard the guide call out, "Be careful Mr. Customer, you don't want to fall into one of the spr..." This caused Mousse to loose his balance and splashed into a spring, "...ings. Looks like I to late." The guide finished as Mousse surfaced from the spring. Much to his agitatition.
Shampoo passed by and said, "Stupid Mousse."

-Furinkan High Next Day-
"Good morning class, today class, I'm pleased to announce that we've got another transfer student into our class," the teacher said with a boy with has long brown hair that is secured with a bow. He is wearing the attire of okonomiyaki chef, which consists of a short-sleeved shirt with the sleeves tied back, blue with white trim in the anime, and form-fitting black pants. This outfit is equipped with a with a giant spatula on his back with several small throwing spatulas, standing next to him.
He bowed respectively and said, "My name is Ukyo Kuonji."
Ranma quickly remember the said boy as they were friends while he and his father stayed in his villaige before the cat fist training.
Ranma quickly made his way to the front of the class and said with glee in his voice, "Long time no see Ukyo."
That was when he got a spatula to the top of his head, 'That's for leaving me Ranma!"
"My pops made us leave you," Ranma said.
"Suuurrre you did," Ukyo said not believing Ranma.
Ranma hit himself with his palm and started to explain.
-Flashback-
The day after Genma and Ranma had left Ukyo's village. "Why did we leave Ukyo behind when you promised to take him with us?" A young Ranma asked innocently.
"Because Ranma, he'll just slow our training down," Genma explained to the young boy.
Ranma pouted and said, "But he was my best friend!"
"Baa. Friends are for weaklings," Genma chastised his son, "Are you a weakling.
"NO!" Ranma shouted back.
-End Flashback-
This caused many of the students to sweatdrop at the stupidty of Genma, minus Akane and Ukyo. Ukyo rewarded him with another smack over the head with his big spatula.
"You liar!" Ukyo said, not believing a single word Ranma said.
"Hmm, hmm," the teacher cleared his throat and both teens took their seats and Ukyo glared at Ranma for the rest of the day.

-Inside the SHIELD van, outside the school-
"Are we inside some sort of stupid TV plot line," Coulson asked Hill, "Surely noone is that stupid."
"No we are not," Hill replied looking at a file. "Ukyo Kuonji. Female, another one of Ranma's 'fiancee's' his father had promised that his son to wed."
"And here I thought Parker had a tough life," Coulson replied.

-Furinkan High Lunch-
Ranma was sitting on the roof eating his lunch, thinking of a way to properly apoligize to Ukyo.
Just then Kuno's severnt Sasuke showed up, "Hey Sasuke, what brings you up here?"
"I'm here to bring a message to the blonde gaigin that Master Kuno has fallown for," Sasuke replied, "But I can't seam to find her."
"If you deliver the message to me, I'll make sure she'll get it," Ranma offered.
"You would," Sasuke asked, pleased that someone would help him, and Ranma nodded, and Sasuke hugged him and started crying anime tears, "Thank-you! Thank-you!"
"Get off of me," Ranma said popping on the head.
"Sorry about that," Sasuke said before handing Ranma the message.
After Sasuke left, Ranma left and read the message, 'Dear my beloved tree-born bikini-girl...'
"Yadda, yadda, yadda" Ranma said skipping over Kuno's ramblings.
'...I challenge thee for your heart and free thou of the foul sorceror today after school. Signed Tatewaki Kuno,' the note read and Ranma noticed it continued, 'P.S. Ukyo Kounji has challenged that honorless bastard Ranma Saotome in a Honor Duel after school today.'
"Maybe I can get Ukyo to forgive me there?" Ranma mused to himself.

-Furinkan High Sports Grounds-
Ranma arrived where Ukyo wanted to challenge Ranma and there appeared what looked like an official boxing ring but with a metal surface and Ukyo was already standing in one corned. Most of the student body showed up to see Ranma and the new kid fight.
"Are you ready Ranma Saotome," Ukyo's cried out with anger oozing from her voice.
"Yes I am," Ranma replied with confidence.
"Kick that perverts ass!" Akane cheered.
Ignoring his fiancee, using the term loosely, he entered the opposite side of ring ready to fight.
A random student rang the bell signaling the begin of the fight.
Ukyo quickly closed the gap between the two and swung her massive spatula at Ranma and he blocked her swing but she pulled out one of her smaller spatulas and took a swipe at the aquatransexual and Ranma leaned back a couple of inches causing Ukyo to miss. Ukyo smirked and threw the spatula away and stated swinging her massive spatula at Ranma repetedly and Ranma quickly dodged and the blows effortlesly. This caused Ukyo to get angrier.
"Take me seriously!" Ukyo cried out in anger.
"You want me to fight seriously do you," Ranma asked rheotorically, "Don't blame when you loose then!"
Before Ukyo could react Ranma got an open palm hit in the waist causing Ukyo to slide back a few feet and gasp in pain. Before he could recover Ranma was on the offensive and Ukyo couldn't block all the punches and kicks that Ranma threw at him.
The crowd was cheering at the fight and Akane was seething that the pervert, Ranma appeared to be winning. The crowd than became confused when Ranma started jumping from one foot to the other while shouting out, "Hot! Hot! Hot!" and quickly jumped to an area that wasn't covered by the metal.
"So you've finally figured it out," Ukyo said proudly, "This isn't just any ring, this is also an okonomiyaki stove!"
Ranma grinned at this and said, "This has gotten more interesting."
Quicker than the eye could see Ukyo had cooked several large portions of okonomiyaki on the ring/stove and flung them at Ranma. Ranma dodged several of them but one landed on his face and several more on various parts of his face. Ranma removed the one that was stuck to his face and quickly gobbled up.
"Delicious as always Ukyo," Ranma complimeted.
"Ranma you pervert!" Akane shouted from the audience.
Ukyo quickly glanced at said girl and asked, "Is she always like that?"
"She's usually worse," Ranma commented dryly.
The battle continued as Ukyo continued to fling okonomiyaki at him, with a swing of her giant spatula, and several smaller thrown spatulas here and there for good measure and Ranma managed to dodge most of them, but he sustained realatively light hits as he looked for an opening that he could exploit.
Finally he managed to spot an opening and he raced toward Ukyo and landed an open palmed hit in the middle of Ukyo's chest and Ranma felt something that he shouldn't haven't felt on a guy, 'Are those 'breasts?' Ranma thought to himself.
Ukyo slid back to the ropes that surrounded the ring with an arm covering her chest area and was red with anger.
"You molester," Ukyo cried out in anger.
"You're a girl," Ranma said in surprise and confusion.
"Of course I am," Ukyo cried out and she started to swing her giant spatula at Ranma in hopes of hitting her opponent.
Ranma quickly got behind Ukyo and grabbed the back of her collar and jumped out of the ring with her.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In the empty gym, Ranma poured some hot water over Ukyo in hopes of his friend had fallen in the cursed springs but it wasn't the case.
Ukyo's eye twitched in annoyance, "Would you please stop that."
Ranma stopped, "Sorry but I always thought you were a boy."
Ukyo scoffed at this, "I've always been a girl."
"And yet you're not questioning the hot water," Ranma stated with an eyebrow raised.
"Ok, ok, I went to Jusenkyo, happy now," Ukyo clearly still upset. Than a lightbulb went off in her mind, "How do you know of those springs?"
"I went there myself," Ranma stated and got splashed by a bucket of cold water, curtosey of Ukyo, revealing a 5'8" golden blonde gaijin women in a bikini.
"Where did you get the bucket," Ranko asked.
"My cursed form knows magic and I managed to learn some magic here and there," Ukyo explained.
-Several Hours Later-
Both in their cursed forms Ukyo and Ranko were walking in the back alley ways of Nerima both laughing and getting to know each other, again.
"So you father managed to engage you with multiple girls," Ukyo asked.
"'Yep," Ranko said with her hands behind her head. "Been tryin' to get rid of most of 'em too."
"That must be awful!" Ukyo said scandilized.
"Trust me it's no picinic," Ranma replied with a displeased looked on his, her face. As they continued to walk along the alley way with the sun setting beside them.
"Explain to me why you're staying at the Tendo's," Ukyo asked.
"I'm looking for a way to get away from my old man with being hauled back to him," Ranko explained, "Though I can't shake this feeling I've forgotten something."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
-Furinkan High Same time-
Kuno continued to wait for his tree-born bikini girl to arrive. Even though she's a gaijan, she is slightly more beautiful than Akane, in his humble opinion.
Just than Kuno sneezed and shouted, "Curse you Ranma Saotome!"
To Be Continued...
Authors Notes: Any ideas on what Shampoos and Mouse's cursed form are. I was thinking Shampoos cursed form should be a werecat like Tigra, but another breed of cat. As for Mousse I want him to have a curse that I can make an ongoing gag abouut.
