A blackened figure fell heavily to the ground. Puffs of smoke rose from it's still form. It groaned before laying silent.

Ranma stood breathing heavily. His face lacked all emotion as he fell to his knees. Staring at his hands he looked at the black lump that lay breathing lightly 20 feet from him. His eyes rolled back in his head and he fell forward. Nodoka and Felicia were at his side soon after he fell to the ground flat on his face.

Nodoka looked over at the charred black form of her husband and got up and picked up the phone.

"Yes docter I have a 3rd degree burn victim that needs immediate treatment."

Genma Saotome proud master of the Saotome School of Anything goes martial arts, not to mention a super theif, glutton, and the person who raised a god-killer. Opened his eyes slowly. He quickly shut them when pain shot through his blurred vision. Groaning he opened them slowly.

A white ceiling with bright lights.

'Maybe blaming the boy was the wrong idea.'

Raising a hand he bumped a table spilling some water on himself.

"AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOORRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A few doctors came in and saw a comatose panda laying spralled over the side of the bed.

"How did a panda get in here?"

"Who cares it's too burned let's take it out back to shoot it."

"OK."

Soun Tendo looked up from his morning paper at the scream that ran through Nerima.

"Oh Saotome now the schools will never be joined, since your worthless son has run off WAAAAAAHH!"

***

"BAKA"

*SMASH*

"BAKA"

*CRUNCH*

Akane let out a deep breath and looked at the cinder dust that littered the dojo.

"Hey Kasumi!"

"Yes Akane-chan?" Kasumi asked looking in the door.

"I made a mess could you clean it up so I can go take a bath?"

"Oh My I will right away Akane."

Akane left Kasumi in the dojo. She didn't see how Kasumi frowned before starting to clean up Akane mess.

Nodoka and Felicia looked at Ranma's sleeping form. They had spent the better part of the day worrying about him. But when they had called Dr. Tofu he had said that something was happening and it would probably be better if Ranma stayed asleep.

So here they were sitting and waiting. Their truce about both being his mother. Felice because she gave birth to him and raised him for the first 6 years and her because she had lost the son he was supposed to replace.

***

Ukyo bowed to the two older woman who she greeted while going to her Ranchan's house.

"Hello Mrs. Saotome I was wondering if Ranchan was here and if so could I see him?"

"I'm sorry Ukyo-chan but he can't see anyone now. But when he can I'll have him go see you." Nodoka beemed with pride at her son being so manly.

As Ukyo left she didn't notice how the other woman kept on looking between her and Nodoka.

Yawning he sat up. Stretching he flipped his feet over the side of the western style bed and stood up. Walking towards the door he caught sight of himself in a mirror.

At first he didn't recognize his face but saw who it was. The being that stared back was obviously part cat as the large triangular ears on top of his head spoke of. He looked down and saw that his body was covered in black fur that had blue stripes running like those of a tiger. Slowly reached up to the top of his head and grabbed a large triangular ear.

He felt a new limb behind him pushing against his pants. Pulling the offending limb out of the back he saw it was a long tail.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
