Genma had just silently snuck into Ranma`s and Shampoo`s room, he had decided to throw Ranma out the window to begin their morning sparring session. That may have been what he intended to do, but both girls had sensed his entrance into to the room. Jumping up off their futons, each girl grabbed an arm and a leg. hey proceeded to toss Genma out the open window. After they turned to face each other, they did a high five.
"Good morning sis, let`s get dressed and get some sparring in before breakfast."
"Good morning sister," replied Shampoo, as she gave Ranma a hug.
After they had gotten dressed, they went outside for their morning sparring session. Ranma had been teaching Shampoo the Saotome style of Anything Goes martial arts for the last few months. She had gotten Shampoo to be not so dependent upon her weapons. Shampoo in turn had been teaching Ranma about Amazon martial arts. While they sparred together, Genma watched them waiting for a time to attack Ranma. Waiting until Ranma`s back was towards him, he rushed ready to hit her from behind. But instead of hitting Ranma, he found himself flying thru the air into the awaiting koi pond. What Genma did not know was that Ranma, and Shampoo had worked out signals between the two of them. They had gotten tired of Genma`s sneak attacks while they were sparring together.
"Better luck next time, pops," called out Ranma, with a smirk on her face, as her pandafied father climbed out of the pond.
"Amazons too good for Panda-man, you should go play with a ball."
Genma`s ire went up when he heard what Shampoo said. Steam rolled off his fur, as he went into full attack mode. He knew, Ranma was overall a better martial artist than he was, but he did not want to be shown up all the time. He decided to knock out Shampoo first, then take care of Ranma. He pulled out a sign from sub-space, and before Shampoo could react from the signal she had gotten from Ranma, whacked her on the back of her head sending her to the ground. Ranma in the preceding months had grown extremely close, and protective of Shampoo, actually considering her as a sister. Genma`s cowardly attack on Shampoo made Ranma really mad, and she proceeded to beat her pandafied father to within an inch of his life. After she had left Genma unconscious with his limbs sticking out at unnatural angles, went with Shampoo into the house.
Ranma went to the kitchen and found Kasumi almost finished with breakfast asked her politely, "Kasumi, could I trouble you for some hot water, please?"
"Ranma, that is no trouble at all, there is some hot water in the kettle on the stove. Thank you for asking though."
Ranma after using the hot water to change into his male form asked, "Kasumi, can I help you by taking the breakfast dishes out to the table?"
"Yes, you can, that is very thoughtful of you."
"Well, it looks like I`ll be staying here for awhile I might as well make myself useful."
"You are a guest, you don`t have to do anything."
"Yes I do, I am not like my father, both Shampoo and I will help around the house for staying here."
"That is very nice of you to offer to help around the house."
"Both me and sis can cook to, so we will help out in the kitchen too."
"I am surprised that you can cook, I figured Shampoo probably could."
"After ten years on the road with my old man, I had to learn to cook. Pops is a rotten cook, so I had to learn or put up with his cooking skills."
Then Ranma started carrying out the dishes to the table. Shampoo decided to help out too, between the two of them it did not take long to set the table. After everyone had gathered at the table for breakfast, Ranma was seated between Shampoo and Nabiki. Ranma turned to Shampoo and asked, "Sis, did you get your message written to send to your great grandmother?"
"Yes I did, I still have to send it."
Kasumi said, with a smile on her face,"Give it to me and I will make sure it gets in the mail while you two are at school today."
"School! What`s up with that, pops?"
"I enrolled you in the same school as Nabiki."
"I don`t have any school supplies."
Genma then threw a bookbag to Ranma, "There you go school supplies now you can follow your fiancee to school."
"Let me get some hot water for my thermos first, then Shampoo and I will follow Nabiki to school."
"You need to do it now, I don`t want to be late. I have business at school to attend to this morning," Nabiki stated.
"Pops, you did enroll Shampoo, didn`t you?"
"I forgot about enrolling her, son."
"I will take care of it, when we get to school, Ranma."
After he filled his thermos Ranma asked, "Shampoo are you ready to go?"
"Whenever you are."
With everything ready they left the house on their way to school. When they had gotten out on the street both, Ranma and Shampoo jumped up on the fence and started walking on it. They had been walking on it for awhile, with Akane glancing at them every now and then. Akane asked, "What are you two doing walking on the fence, are you too good to walk down here on the ground with us?"
"This is balance practice, you should try it some time," replied Ranma.
"It also gives us a better view of any threats," added Shampoo.
"I think that the both of you just like to show off."
"I don`t think so sis, but it does give me a better view of his assets, don`t you think?" stated Nabiki.
Ranma having heard that blushed a bright red, almost the shade of his shirt. As they came to the end of the fence Ranma jumped, and did a flip in the air before he landed next to Nabiki. Shampoo landed next to him after she had jumped off the fence in the same manner as he had. They were almost halfway to the school when it started to rain lightly, just hard enough to trigger Ranma`s curse.
"It`s a good thing I brought my thermos with me, I`ll change back when we get inside the school."
"Does it hurt when you change?" asked Nabiki.
"Not really, there is a slight tingle, and I lose a few inches. I`ve gotten to the point I really don`t notice when I change sometimes. If it wasn`t for being wet I probably wouldn`t notice at all, unless someone pointed it out to me."
"He probably plays with his girl side, the pervert," Akane said in a sarcastic tone of voice.
"I would not be speaking about someone playing with themselves, if I were you, Akane. I can hear you at night thru the wall," Nabiki said with a smirk on her face.
"My sister, does not play with herself, I should know as I sleep with her," said Shampoo adding to the conversation.
"I knew you two were perverts, sleeping together probably can`t keep your hands off each other."
"What is with you thinking that we are a couple of perverts?" asked Ranma.
"Because your really a boy, and everyone knows all boys are perverts. Also you change into a girl, you probably use that form to do perverted things."
"Just because I`m really a guy, that doesn`t mean I`m a pervert. When I`m a girl, I`m completely female, I just don`t like boys, other than as friends."
"So when your a girl, do you have a period, and do you like other girls?"
"Yes to both, I just hate that monthly visitor, and I do like other girls as friends. I am the least likely person to try to force themselves on a girl. Both me and sis, worked as waitresses in China, so I know how some guys can be."
"Why did you two work as waitresses anyways?" asked Nabiki.
"We had to get passports for both me and sis here, and for passage on the ship from China. I did not feel like swimming the Sea of Japan again."
"I take back what I said about you being a pervert, for now, but I am going to keep my eye on you just in case," said Akane. Who then asked, "Did you really swim the Sea of Japan?"
"Yes I really did, me and pops swam to China. He called it training, which in a way it was, but the main reason we swam it, was that pops was too cheap to buy tickets on a ship."
"You said that you bought passage on a ship from China, didn`t your father help pay for it?" asked Nabiki.
"No, my old man is too lazy to work, that`s why it took me and sis so long working as waitresses to come up with enough money for everything."
"Panda-mans curse suits him to a tee; he is as lazy as a panda when he is a man."
They had almost reached the school grounds, when Akane started to run a little faster all the while "I HATE BOYS! I HATE BOYS!" She ran into the mob of around, forty to fifty, boys. She mowed thru them like they were blades of grass, and she was the lawnmower. Both Ranma and Shampoo not liking how outnumbered Akane was decided to help her out. Ranma took the ones on the right side, while Shampoo took the ones on the left. Between the three of them, they made short work of the boys, leaving them laid out all over the school grounds. When they finished with the group of boys, they started walking towards the school.
"I didn`t need your help, you know," Akane said with a scowl on her face.
"Yes we know, Nabiki told us last night, that you have to do this every day, and why you have to do it," replied Ranma.
"We just wanted to get in on some of the fun," added Shampoo.
As they approached the doors of the school a red rose came flying towards Akane. Ranma deftly caught it in midair, as she turned to face the person that had thrown it. What she saw was a young man around six feet tall, and dressed as a samurai, wielding a bokken.
"Whom might thee be?" he asked her.
"I am," said Ranma, before she was rudely interrupted.
"Nay! It is only right that I introduce myself first. I am Kuno Tatewaki, rising star of Furinkan high, also called The Blue Thunder." as he said this he raised his bokken into the air as a crack of thunder sounded. Then he asked, " Now what are the names of the two lovely ladies that accompany the fair Tendo Akane."
"As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted I am Saotome Ranma, and I am not a lady, and this is my adopted Amazon sister, Shampoo. We are staying at the Tendo Dojo, and your the jackass, Nabiki told us about last night."
"Ah! My redheaded tigress,my lavender haired temptress, I challenge both of you, if you defeat me I will gladly date thee."
"He must want a Amazon wife, sister, but he`s got it wrong, he must defeat us," said Shampoo.
"Amazon wife, what is that about?" asked Kuno.
"If an outsider male beats an Amazon female, she must marry him," replied Shampoo.
"But that does not apply to me, sis, I am adopted into the tribe, and I am really a guy. Besides that I am already engaged."
"I would have ask great grandmother, but you are seen in the eyes of the village as a girl, so the laws may apply to you."
"You are not a man, you are the vision of femininely beauty, and grace."
"Kuno, this body is a curse, I am really a guy, and I am engaged to Tendo Nabiki."
"I see no curse in that body, you have been bewitched by the Ice Queen, I shall break the spell she has cast upon you."
"Nabiki had nothing to do with my curse, let me show you." Ranma then proceeded to pour hot water from her thermos over her head, thereby changing into his male form.
"I see she has cursed you, and has be-spelled you to think that you are a man, but my heart tells me the truth, you are really a woman. I shall break the spell she has placed on you returning you to your proper gender, and state of mind. Then in gratitude you will date me."
"Kuno, I will fight you, and if I was really a girl, I would have nothing to do with a jackass like you."
"I will free you from the spell the sorceress has cast upon you!" As Kuno exclaimed this he had begun to attack Ranma with his bokken. Ranma deftly avoided the blows by jumping off a nearby tree, which was cut in two by the air pressure of Kuno`s blows. After Ranma had seen the tree cut in two, decided not to play around, otherwise someone might get hurt. He proceeded to kick Kuno in all his vital spots, then to finish him off leapt over him, while he used one finger to hit Kuno`s forehead leaving bruises that spelled out jackass. Kuno was unconscious before he had hit the ground.
As Ranma walked towards the spot where Shampoo and Akane, were standing the bell rang. After Ranma and Shampoo, had followed Akane to their classroom, the teacher asked them to introduce themselves.
"I am Saotome Ranma, I am heir to the Saotome School of Martial Arts, and I am currently staying at the Tendo Dojo."
"My name is Xian Pu, but you may call me Shampoo, I am a Amazon, and Ranma, is my adopted sister."
"I think you meant to say adopted brother, Shampoo," said the teacher.
"No sir, she did say it correctly, I am her adopted sister in her tribe."
"How can you be her adopted sister? You are a boy, not a girl."
With a grin on his face Ranma replied, "Yes sir, I am a boy, but I have a curse, when I am splashed with cold water, I change into a girl. I was a girl when Shampoo adopted me as her sister, so in the eyes of her tribe, I am a girl."
"Do you really expect me to believe that fairy tale about a curse?" asked the teacher.
"Get me some cold water, and I will show you. A lot of you may have seen me change already outside the school awhile ago."
After the teacher had handed Ranma a cup of cold water, he proceeded to pour it over his head, thereby transforming into a gorgeous looking redhead. At the sight of the tranformation, the teacher fainted dead away. While the teacher lay on the floor, the girls in the class came up to Ranma to see for themselves that she was really a girl. Several decided to poke Ranma`s breasts to see if they were real or not. A couple had gotten in a few pokes before Shampoo started slapping hands.
"They are real, Ranma`s really a girl!"
"Yes, sister is a girl now, she is also engaged to Akane`s sister, Nabiki."
"I feel so sorry for you, Ranma, engaged to the Ice Queen of Furinkan High, you poor girl."
"Why does everyone refer to Nabiki as the Ice Queen?" asked Ranma with a perplexed look on her face.
"Because she is a cold hearted person, who doesn`t care about anything but money."
"She did not seem like that to me, maybe a bit of a prankster, but certainly not cold hearted. She does seem a little lonely, I was the same before I became Shampoo`s sister, and gained a best friend in her."
About this time the teacher had regained consciousness, and started to get the classroom back under control. "Everyone back in your seats, now Ranma and Shampoo, you are new here, but you were late, so you two, and Akane get the buckets, and go stand in the hall."
"After the three had gotten in the hall, Akane said, "This is all your fault, Ranma."
"How is this my fault, Akane?"
"If you hadn`t interfered in my fight, I would not have been late."
"The way I see it, the fault belongs to that jackass, Kuno. Even after I showed him the curse, he still thinks that I am a girl."
"Well you are a girl right now, and you two have joined the club of the girls, Kuno has the hots for."
"Thanks for reminding me," said Ranma, as she proceeded to pour hot water from her thermos over her head.
At the same time this was going on, in the classroom that Nabiki, and Kuno shared. Kuno had finally showed up after his trip to the nurses office. He walked up to Nabiki and started to berate her.
"Tendo, I command you to release your foul hold on the fair goddess, Saotome Ranma!"
"Kuno, Ranma is a guy, and he is engaged to me. It is a matter of family honor."
"The lovely Ranma, is most assuredly female, I know this in my heart, now release her from the spell you have cast upon on her. The spell which changes her into a man, so that she may be free to love the magnificence that is my person."
"Grow up Kuno, Ranma picked up a curse, while he was in China. When hit with cold water he becomes a girl, hot water returns him back to normal. Ranma got the curse, because his father could not read Chinese."
"I shall break your hold over the fair Ranma, release your hold on her, or you shall surely feel the wrath of the Blue Thunder," ranted Kuno as he swung his bokken about.
"Kuno, buckets, out in the hall now!"
"This is not over, Tendo, not until you release my pigtailed goddess!" growled Kuno, as he carried the buckets out of the classroom. As soon as Kuno had gotten out the door, he started to run towards the classroom that his three loves shared.
"Is Kuno the main reason, you dislike guys so much, Akane?" asked Ranma.
"Yes he is, he declared that for someone to date me, they would have to defeat me in battle. So I have to fight, that mob everyday, it is good exercise, but everyday since the first day of school, does get tiring after awhile."
"I had someone like that in my home village, his name is Mu Tzu, the blind idiot can not get it through his head that I do not love him."
About this time Kuno came down the hallway, running under a full head of steam. "I shall break the spell upon you," he exclaimed as he threw the bucket of water he had with him.
Ranma jumped out of the way of the wall of water, but Shampoo and Akane, were not so fortunate. The two girls were soaked to the bone, the clothes were clinging to the curves of each girl`s body. Ranma had escaped getting soaked, but still had gotten wet enough from the resulting backsplash to trigger the change. So it was three pissed off girls that turned on Kuno, and proceeded to beat the living daylights out of him. Akane whipped her mallet out of hammerspace, and started to play pound the pervert. Shampoo used her bonbori to help, while Ranma just used her fists and feet. What was left of Kuno, after the three girls were done with him, was scraped off the floor, and carted off to the school nurses office for the second time that day.
"I would say that guy is a moron, but that would be giving morons a bad name," Ranma said, as she poured the remaining hot water in her thermos over her head.
"Yeah, he does not have all his marbles, I think the whole family is like that from what I have heard," added Akane, as she squeezed the water from her clothes.
"He is as bad as Mu Tzu, if not worse," Shampoo stated.
The rest of the day went fairly well, meaning that Ranma spent more time as a girl, than a boy from all the random soakings. On the up side, no one had to worry about Kuno bothering them, as he had gotten sent to the hospital for a full body cast. By the end of the school day, both Ranma and Shampoo, could hardly wait to get to the dojo for their evening sparring bout. As they walked home with Akane and Nabiki, Ranma was splashed by an old lady washing the sidewalk off with a ladle.
"Damn, that must make at least twenty times today that I have been hit by cold water."
"Sister, maybe you should go to school as a girl, you spent most of the day as one anyways."
"It`s this damn curse, it makes me a water magnet."
"When your a girl, do you get hit with hot water very often?" asked Nabiki.
"No I don`t, but that is probably because cold water is more wide spread than hot."
"It could be that, or the curse wants you to be a girl most of the time," Nabiki said, with a grin on her face.
"I already sleep as a girl, I like to be a guy during the day though," Ranma replied, with a cute pout on her face.
"Ranma, I don`t care if your a boy or a girl, I just want to make mad passionate love to you," said Nabiki, trying to keep from laughing at Ranma`s reaction to her tease.
"Ack...," was all Ranma got out as her brain seized up, and she fell to the ground, twitching as thoughts of what Nabiki said, ran through her head.
"Nabiki, you should not tease my sister like that," Shampoo said, as she picked up Ranma, to carry her, "unless you really mean it."
A little later after they had gotten home, they were seated at the table ready for dinner. Ranma had changed back to a guy after they had gotten home.
"We`ve decided that Ranma should attend school as a girl," said Nabiki, causing both Soun and Genma, to spew the sake they had been drinking, resulting in another gender change for Ranma.
"Boy, why did you decide that you should attend school as a girl?" asked Genma.
"I did no such thing, pops."
"No Mr. Saotome, it was the three of us that decided for Ranma," said Nabiki, as she pointed to Akane, Shampoo, and herself.
"And why should Ranma, attend school as a girl?"
"Because of the curse, Ranma was a girl, more often than a boy, today at school. Both Akane and Shampoo, told me that Ranma could change back to a boy, and it would not take fifteen minutes, until he would get splashed by cold water."
"Oh my, I guess I need to take Ranma to get proper underwear, and both, Ranma and Shampoo, need to get uniforms for school. We will go shopping, after we finish having dinner," Kasumi said, with a bright smile on her face.
"But I don`t want to attend school as a girl, pops."
As he looked at Ranma, Soun said, "I learned long ago not to argue with a woman, looks like your fate is set, you have four women saying you attend as a girl, so you attend as a girl. Both your father and I, would rather eat, than starve if we went against their wishes. I hate to think of what they would do to us."
"Yes boy, or should I say girl, I would rather eat."
That was how Ranma, ended up at the shopping mall with the four girls. She protested all the way to it, and had ended up being dragged along by both, Akane and Shampoo. Nabiki lead them to a store, where she knew she could get the best deals. Finally in the dressing room, they stripped all her clothes off, down to the bare skin.
"Nabiki, we need to get her measurements first."
"Okay sis, Akane, get me a tape measure, and Shampoo, take Ranma`s clothes with you while you try on your new clothes."
"Here`s the tape measure, Nabiki."
"Well, let`s just see what sizes you are, Ranma."
"Nabiki, I don`t want to do this, hell I am a guy, I want to attend school as a guy."
"Ranma, you spent most of the school day as a girl, because of all the random soakings, I am not going to have my fiance looking like a trollop."
"I still don`t know how all of you convinced my old man, he`s always going on about man amongst men, and such."
"It was his stomach, now be still so I can measure you, are you ready, Kasumi?"
"Go ahead."
"28, 22, 26, looks like she`s a C-cup too, quite the figure lover," said Nabiki, teasingly.
Ranma, blushed all the way to her toes at Nabiki`s tease. Nabiki decided to tease Ranma some more, and kissed her on the cheek, and squeezed her lightly on her bare bottom at the same time.
"Nabiki, please don`t do that," begged Ranma, as she had started to become aroused by the action.
"Okay, I`ll stop for now, but when we get home...."
About this time Kasumi, came back into the dressing room with several pairs of bras and panties. "Try these on Ranma, so we can see how they fit on you. Akane, is getting school uniforms for you and Shampoo, she should be here in a few minutes."
"Kasumi, I really don`t want to wear these."
"It`s either wear them, or go out naked, the choice is yours."
"They`re a little bit on the lacy side, don`t you think so, Nabiki?"
"Ranma, both Kasumi and I wear them, your not saying that we don`t know what we are doing, are you?"
"No, but I am a guy."
"Right now, you are a girl, and you should listen to what the two of us have to say."
"I will be right back, Nabiki, I am going to a nightgown for Ranma."
"What`s wrong with the tanktop and shorts, I wear now?"
"It is not proper sleepwear for a girl."
"But Kasumi, I am a guy."
"You sleep as a girl in the same room as Shampoo, and she wears a nightgown, and so should you."
"How about getting her a babydoll nightie, Kasumi?" asked Nabiki.
"No, a plain nightgown will be enough, you can get her a babydoll after you two are married."
A little after Kasumi had left to get the nightgown, Akane came in with a school uniform for Ranma to try on." Upon seeing, Ranma in the lacy underwear, she said, "A little bit on the racy side, Ranma, I didn`t think that you were that feminine."
"I`m not, it was both, Kasumi and Nabiki`s decision that I wear this type of underwear, if it was left up to me, I would only be wearing boxers."
"Well, try on this uniform, I also got you some gym clothes."
"I still say, I want to attend school as a guy."
"You were wet so many times today, you were a girl, more often than you were a boy. With your wet clothes, your nipples showed. You looked like a tramp, and I don`t want people saying that I live with a tramp," said Akane.
Ranma grumbled as she put on the clothes. Shampoo, entered just after she had finished putting on her own uniform, to see what Ranma looked like.
"Sister, you look very cute," said Shampoo, as she gave Ranma a thumbs up.
"Now we just have to get you some socks, and a pair of shoes," said Nabiki.
Ranma suffered through another couple of hours shopping with the four girls. Shampoo was not so bad, it was the other three, they just loved to shop. Kasumi, even picked out several other dresses for Ranma to wear, when she was not at school. Finally the five girls were headed home, Ranma was still in her new school uniform.
"Kasumi, I don`t know why you bought me the other dresses for. When I get home from school every day, I am going to change into a guy."
"You may have to be a girl sometimes after school, this way you will have something you can wear."
"I hope your not trying to make me a girl full time."
"Of course we`re not Ranma, I want you to be a guy when you take me out on our dates."
"What dates, Nabiki?"
"The ones, where you show me how you treat a lady of course."
"Nabiki, I have never been on a date before. So I don`t know what to do, but I do know that someone as pretty as you are, must have been on lots of dates. So you can tell me what to do on our dates."
"Thank you, for saying that I am pretty," said Nabiki, just before she gave Ranma, a deep kiss on the lips.
Ranma`s eyes glazed over, and she got a big smile on her face. Nabiki ended up leading her home by the hand, because she was so out of it. Ranma did not regain her senses until after they had reached the dojo.
When they had gotten inside the house Genma saw how Ranma was acting, so he asked, "Boy, what is wrong with you? What has you acting like a lovestruck school girl, of course that`s how your dressed now."
"She kissed me, she doesn`t care about the curse, it doesn`t matter if I am a girl at the time, or not." Ranma then proceeded up the stairs to the room she shared with Shampoo.
After they had gotten ready for bed, Shampoo asked, "You really like her, don`t you?"
"Yeah I think I might, when she kissed me earlier tonight, it just felt so right. I did not think someone could want a freak like me."
"You are not a freak, never let anyone call you that. Your curse gives you a greater knowledge of women, that most men will never know."
"Maybe your right, sis."
"I know I am right, great grandmother would tell you so to, if she were here."
"Speaking of your great grandmother, do you think she may have found more information on the curse. You remember the only thing we were able to find out, when we were still in China."
"I know just legends about an ancient race called the Ni Zee. Ranma, you know that since you are my sister now, she is your great grandmother too, not just mine."
"I guess it will be nice to have a great grandmother, I can`t remember my mother, we left home when I was only five."
"Great grandmother will love you just as much as she loves me, and I love you, sister."
"Thanks sis, for caring so much about me," said Ranma, as she gave Shampoo a big hug, "Good night sis, I love you too."

Genma had just silently snuck into Ranma`s and Shampoo`s room, he had decided to throw Ranma out the window to begin their morning sparring session. That may have been what he intended to do, but both girls had sensed his entrance into to the room. Jumping up off their futons, each girl grabbed an arm and a leg. hey proceeded to toss Genma out the open window. After they turned to face each other, they did a high five.
"Good morning sis, let`s get dressed and get some sparring in before breakfast."
"Good morning sister," replied Shampoo, as she gave Ranma a hug.
After they had gotten dressed, they went outside for their morning sparring session. Ranma had been teaching Shampoo the Saotome style of Anything Goes martial arts for the last few months. She had gotten Shampoo to be not so dependent upon her weapons. Shampoo in turn had been teaching Ranma about Amazon martial arts. While they sparred together, Genma watched them waiting for a time to attack Ranma. Waiting until Ranma`s back was towards him, he rushed ready to hit her from behind. But instead of hitting Ranma, he found himself flying thru the air into the awaiting koi pond. What Genma did not know was that Ranma, and Shampoo had worked out signals between the two of them. They had gotten tired of Genma`s sneak attacks while they were sparring together.
"Better luck next time, pops," called out Ranma, with a smirk on her face, as her pandafied father climbed out of the pond.
"Amazons too good for Panda-man, you should go play with a ball."
Genma`s ire went up when he heard what Shampoo said. Steam rolled off his fur, as he went into full attack mode. He knew, Ranma was overall a better martial artist than he was, but he did not want to be shown up all the time. He decided to knock out Shampoo first, then take care of Ranma. He pulled out a sign from sub-space, and before Shampoo could react from the signal she had gotten from Ranma, whacked her on the back of her head sending her to the ground. Ranma in the preceding months had grown extremely close, and protective of Shampoo, actually considering her as a sister. Genma`s cowardly attack on Shampoo made Ranma really mad, and she proceeded to beat her pandafied father to within an inch of his life. After she had left Genma unconscious with his limbs sticking out at unnatural angles, went with Shampoo into the house.
Ranma went to the kitchen and found Kasumi almost finished with breakfast asked her politely, "Kasumi, could I trouble you for some hot water, please?"
"Ranma, that is no trouble at all, there is some hot water in the kettle on the stove. Thank you for asking though."
Ranma after using the hot water to change into his male form asked, "Kasumi, can I help you by taking the breakfast dishes out to the table?"
"Yes, you can, that is very thoughtful of you."
"Well, it looks like I`ll be staying here for awhile I might as well make myself useful."
"You are a guest, you don`t have to do anything."
"Yes I do, I am not like my father, both Shampoo and I will help around the house for staying here."
"That is very nice of you to offer to help around the house."
"Both me and sis can cook to, so we will help out in the kitchen too."
"I am surprised that you can cook, I figured Shampoo probably could."
"After ten years on the road with my old man, I had to learn to cook. Pops is a rotten cook, so I had to learn or put up with his cooking skills."
Then Ranma started carrying out the dishes to the table. Shampoo decided to help out too, between the two of them it did not take long to set the table. After everyone had gathered at the table for breakfast, Ranma was seated between Shampoo and Nabiki. Ranma turned to Shampoo and asked, "Sis, did you get your message written to send to your great grandmother?"
"Yes I did, I still have to send it."
Kasumi said, with a smile on her face,"Give it to me and I will make sure it gets in the mail while you two are at school today."
"School! What`s up with that, pops?"
"I enrolled you in the same school as Nabiki."
"I don`t have any school supplies."
Genma then threw a bookbag to Ranma, "There you go school supplies now you can follow your fiancee to school."
"Let me get some hot water for my thermos first, then Shampoo and I will follow Nabiki to school."
"You need to do it now, I don`t want to be late. I have business at school to attend to this morning," Nabiki stated.
"Pops, you did enroll Shampoo, didn`t you?"
"I forgot about enrolling her, son."
"I will take care of it, when we get to school, Ranma."
After he filled his thermos Ranma asked, "Shampoo are you ready to go?"
"Whenever you are."
With everything ready they left the house on their way to school. When they had gotten out on the street both, Ranma and Shampoo jumped up on the fence and started walking on it. They had been walking on it for awhile, with Akane glancing at them every now and then. Akane asked, "What are you two doing walking on the fence, are you too good to walk down here on the ground with us?"
"This is balance practice, you should try it some time," replied Ranma.
"It also gives us a better view of any threats," added Shampoo.
"I think that the both of you just like to show off."
"I don`t think so sis, but it does give me a better view of his assets, don`t you think?" stated Nabiki.
Ranma having heard that blushed a bright red, almost the shade of his shirt. As they came to the end of the fence Ranma jumped, and did a flip in the air before he landed next to Nabiki. Shampoo landed next to him after she had jumped off the fence in the same manner as he had. They were almost halfway to the school when it started to rain lightly, just hard enough to trigger Ranma`s curse.
"It`s a good thing I brought my thermos with me, I`ll change back when we get inside the school."
"Does it hurt when you change?" asked Nabiki.
"Not really, there is a slight tingle, and I lose a few inches. I`ve gotten to the point I really don`t notice when I change sometimes. If it wasn`t for being wet I probably wouldn`t notice at all, unless someone pointed it out to me."
"He probably plays with his girl side, the pervert," Akane said in a sarcastic tone of voice.
"I would not be speaking about someone playing with themselves, if I were you, Akane. I can hear you at night thru the wall," Nabiki said with a smirk on her face.
"My sister, does not play with herself, I should know as I sleep with her," said Shampoo adding to the conversation.
"I knew you two were perverts, sleeping together probably can`t keep your hands off each other."
"What is with you thinking that we are a couple of perverts?" asked Ranma.
"Because your really a boy, and everyone knows all boys are perverts. Also you change into a girl, you probably use that form to do perverted things."
"Just because I`m really a guy, that doesn`t mean I`m a pervert. When I`m a girl, I`m completely female, I just don`t like boys, other than as friends."
"So when your a girl, do you have a period, and do you like other girls?"
"Yes to both, I just hate that monthly visitor, and I do like other girls as friends. I am the least likely person to try to force themselves on a girl. Both me and sis, worked as waitresses in China, so I know how some guys can be."
"Why did you two work as waitresses anyways?" asked Nabiki.
"We had to get passports for both me and sis here, and for passage on the ship from China. I did not feel like swimming the Sea of Japan again."
"I take back what I said about you being a pervert, for now, but I am going to keep my eye on you just in case," said Akane. Who then asked, "Did you really swim the Sea of Japan?"
"Yes I really did, me and pops swam to China. He called it training, which in a way it was, but the main reason we swam it, was that pops was too cheap to buy tickets on a ship."
"You said that you bought passage on a ship from China, didn`t your father help pay for it?" asked Nabiki.
"No, my old man is too lazy to work, that`s why it took me and sis so long working as waitresses to come up with enough money for everything."
"Panda-mans curse suits him to a tee; he is as lazy as a panda when he is a man."
They had almost reached the school grounds, when Akane started to run a little faster all the while "I HATE BOYS! I HATE BOYS!" She ran into the mob of around, forty to fifty, boys. She mowed thru them like they were blades of grass, and she was the lawnmower. Both Ranma and Shampoo not liking how outnumbered Akane was decided to help her out. Ranma took the ones on the right side, while Shampoo took the ones on the left. Between the three of them, they made short work of the boys, leaving them laid out all over the school grounds. When they finished with the group of boys, they started walking towards the school.
"I didn`t need your help, you know," Akane said with a scowl on her face.
"Yes we know, Nabiki told us last night, that you have to do this every day, and why you have to do it," replied Ranma.
"We just wanted to get in on some of the fun," added Shampoo.
As they approached the doors of the school a red rose came flying towards Akane. Ranma deftly caught it in midair, as she turned to face the person that had thrown it. What she saw was a young man around six feet tall, and dressed as a samurai, wielding a bokken.
"Whom might thee be?" he asked her.
"I am," said Ranma, before she was rudely interrupted.
"Nay! It is only right that I introduce myself first. I am Kuno Tatewaki, rising star of Furinkan high, also called The Blue Thunder." as he said this he raised his bokken into the air as a crack of thunder sounded. Then he asked, " Now what are the names of the two lovely ladies that accompany the fair Tendo Akane."
"As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted I am Saotome Ranma, and I am not a lady, and this is my adopted Amazon sister, Shampoo. We are staying at the Tendo Dojo, and your the jackass, Nabiki told us about last night."
"Ah! My redheaded tigress,my lavender haired temptress, I challenge both of you, if you defeat me I will gladly date thee."
"He must want a Amazon wife, sister, but he`s got it wrong, he must defeat us," said Shampoo.
"Amazon wife, what is that about?" asked Kuno.
"If an outsider male beats an Amazon female, she must marry him," replied Shampoo.
"But that does not apply to me, sis, I am adopted into the tribe, and I am really a guy. Besides that I am already engaged."
"I would have ask great grandmother, but you are seen in the eyes of the village as a girl, so the laws may apply to you."
"You are not a man, you are the vision of femininely beauty, and grace."
"Kuno, this body is a curse, I am really a guy, and I am engaged to Tendo Nabiki."
"I see no curse in that body, you have been bewitched by the Ice Queen, I shall break the spell she has cast upon you."
"Nabiki had nothing to do with my curse, let me show you." Ranma then proceeded to pour hot water from her thermos over her head, thereby changing into his male form.
"I see she has cursed you, and has be-spelled you to think that you are a man, but my heart tells me the truth, you are really a woman. I shall break the spell she has placed on you returning you to your proper gender, and state of mind. Then in gratitude you will date me."
"Kuno, I will fight you, and if I was really a girl, I would have nothing to do with a jackass like you."
"I will free you from the spell the sorceress has cast upon you!" As Kuno exclaimed this he had begun to attack Ranma with his bokken. Ranma deftly avoided the blows by jumping off a nearby tree, which was cut in two by the air pressure of Kuno`s blows. After Ranma had seen the tree cut in two, decided not to play around, otherwise someone might get hurt. He proceeded to kick Kuno in all his vital spots, then to finish him off leapt over him, while he used one finger to hit Kuno`s forehead leaving bruises that spelled out jackass. Kuno was unconscious before he had hit the ground.
As Ranma walked towards the spot where Shampoo and Akane, were standing the bell rang. After Ranma and Shampoo, had followed Akane to their classroom, the teacher asked them to introduce themselves.
"I am Saotome Ranma, I am heir to the Saotome School of Martial Arts, and I am currently staying at the Tendo Dojo."
"My name is Xian Pu, but you may call me Shampoo, I am a Amazon, and Ranma, is my adopted sister."
"I think you meant to say adopted brother, Shampoo," said the teacher.
"No sir, she did say it correctly, I am her adopted sister in her tribe."
"How can you be her adopted sister? You are a boy, not a girl."
With a grin on his face Ranma replied, "Yes sir, I am a boy, but I have a curse, when I am splashed with cold water, I change into a girl. I was a girl when Shampoo adopted me as her sister, so in the eyes of her tribe, I am a girl."
"Do you really expect me to believe that fairy tale about a curse?" asked the teacher.
"Get me some cold water, and I will show you. A lot of you may have seen me change already outside the school awhile ago."
After the teacher had handed Ranma a cup of cold water, he proceeded to pour it over his head, thereby transforming into a gorgeous looking redhead. At the sight of the tranformation, the teacher fainted dead away. While the teacher lay on the floor, the girls in the class came up to Ranma to see for themselves that she was really a girl. Several decided to poke Ranma`s breasts to see if they were real or not. A couple had gotten in a few pokes before Shampoo started slapping hands.
"They are real, Ranma`s really a girl!"
"Yes, sister is a girl now, she is also engaged to Akane`s sister, Nabiki."
"I feel so sorry for you, Ranma, engaged to the Ice Queen of Furinkan High, you poor girl."
"Why does everyone refer to Nabiki as the Ice Queen?" asked Ranma with a perplexed look on her face.
"Because she is a cold hearted person, who doesn`t care about anything but money."
"She did not seem like that to me, maybe a bit of a prankster, but certainly not cold hearted. She does seem a little lonely, I was the same before I became Shampoo`s sister, and gained a best friend in her."
About this time the teacher had regained consciousness, and started to get the classroom back under control. "Everyone back in your seats, now Ranma and Shampoo, you are new here, but you were late, so you two, and Akane get the buckets, and go stand in the hall."
"After the three had gotten in the hall, Akane said, "This is all your fault, Ranma."
"How is this my fault, Akane?"
"If you hadn`t interfered in my fight, I would not have been late."
"The way I see it, the fault belongs to that jackass, Kuno. Even after I showed him the curse, he still thinks that I am a girl."
"Well you are a girl right now, and you two have joined the club of the girls, Kuno has the hots for."
"Thanks for reminding me," said Ranma, as she proceeded to pour hot water from her thermos over her head.
At the same time this was going on, in the classroom that Nabiki, and Kuno shared. Kuno had finally showed up after his trip to the nurses office. He walked up to Nabiki and started to berate her.
"Tendo, I command you to release your foul hold on the fair goddess, Saotome Ranma!"
"Kuno, Ranma is a guy, and he is engaged to me. It is a matter of family honor."
"The lovely Ranma, is most assuredly female, I know this in my heart, now release her from the spell you have cast upon on her. The spell which changes her into a man, so that she may be free to love the magnificence that is my person."
"Grow up Kuno, Ranma picked up a curse, while he was in China. When hit with cold water he becomes a girl, hot water returns him back to normal. Ranma got the curse, because his father could not read Chinese."
"I shall break your hold over the fair Ranma, release your hold on her, or you shall surely feel the wrath of the Blue Thunder," ranted Kuno as he swung his bokken about.
"Kuno, buckets, out in the hall now!"
"This is not over, Tendo, not until you release my pigtailed goddess!" growled Kuno, as he carried the buckets out of the classroom. As soon as Kuno had gotten out the door, he started to run towards the classroom that his three loves shared.
"Is Kuno the main reason, you dislike guys so much, Akane?" asked Ranma.
"Yes he is, he declared that for someone to date me, they would have to defeat me in battle. So I have to fight, that mob everyday, it is good exercise, but everyday since the first day of school, does get tiring after awhile."
"I had someone like that in my home village, his name is Mu Tzu, the blind idiot can not get it through his head that I do not love him."
About this time Kuno came down the hallway, running under a full head of steam. "I shall break the spell upon you," he exclaimed as he threw the bucket of water he had with him.
Ranma jumped out of the way of the wall of water, but Shampoo and Akane, were not so fortunate. The two girls were soaked to the bone, the clothes were clinging to the curves of each girl`s body. Ranma had escaped getting soaked, but still had gotten wet enough from the resulting backsplash to trigger the change. So it was three pissed off girls that turned on Kuno, and proceeded to beat the living daylights out of him. Akane whipped her mallet out of hammerspace, and started to play pound the pervert. Shampoo used her bonbori to help, while Ranma just used her fists and feet. What was left of Kuno, after the three girls were done with him, was scraped off the floor, and carted off to the school nurses office for the second time that day.
"I would say that guy is a moron, but that would be giving morons a bad name," Ranma said, as she poured the remaining hot water in her thermos over her head.
"Yeah, he does not have all his marbles, I think the whole family is like that from what I have heard," added Akane, as she squeezed the water from her clothes.
"He is as bad as Mu Tzu, if not worse," Shampoo stated.
The rest of the day went fairly well, meaning that Ranma spent more time as a girl, than a boy from all the random soakings. On the up side, no one had to worry about Kuno bothering them, as he had gotten sent to the hospital for a full body cast. By the end of the school day, both Ranma and Shampoo, could hardly wait to get to the dojo for their evening sparring bout. As they walked home with Akane and Nabiki, Ranma was splashed by an old lady washing the sidewalk off with a ladle.
"Damn, that must make at least twenty times today that I have been hit by cold water."
"Sister, maybe you should go to school as a girl, you spent most of the day as one anyways."
"It`s this damn curse, it makes me a water magnet."
"When your a girl, do you get hit with hot water very often?" asked Nabiki.
"No I don`t, but that is probably because cold water is more wide spread than hot."
"It could be that, or the curse wants you to be a girl most of the time," Nabiki said, with a grin on her face.
"I already sleep as a girl, I like to be a guy during the day though," Ranma replied, with a cute pout on her face.
"Ranma, I don`t care if your a boy or a girl, I just want to make mad passionate love to you," said Nabiki, trying to keep from laughing at Ranma`s reaction to her tease.
"Ack...," was all Ranma got out as her brain seized up, and she fell to the ground, twitching as thoughts of what Nabiki said, ran through her head.
"Nabiki, you should not tease my sister like that," Shampoo said, as she picked up Ranma, to carry her, "unless you really mean it."
A little later after they had gotten home, they were seated at the table ready for dinner. Ranma had changed back to a guy after they had gotten home.
"We`ve decided that Ranma should attend school as a girl," said Nabiki, causing both Soun and Genma, to spew the sake they had been drinking, resulting in another gender change for Ranma.
"Boy, why did you decide that you should attend school as a girl?" asked Genma.
"I did no such thing, pops."
"No Mr. Saotome, it was the three of us that decided for Ranma," said Nabiki, as she pointed to Akane, Shampoo, and herself.
"And why should Ranma, attend school as a girl?"
"Because of the curse, Ranma was a girl, more often than a boy, today at school. Both Akane and Shampoo, told me that Ranma could change back to a boy, and it would not take fifteen minutes, until he would get splashed by cold water."
"Oh my, I guess I need to take Ranma to get proper underwear, and both, Ranma and Shampoo, need to get uniforms for school. We will go shopping, after we finish having dinner," Kasumi said, with a bright smile on her face.
"But I don`t want to attend school as a girl, pops."
As he looked at Ranma, Soun said, "I learned long ago not to argue with a woman, looks like your fate is set, you have four women saying you attend as a girl, so you attend as a girl. Both your father and I, would rather eat, than starve if we went against their wishes. I hate to think of what they would do to us."
"Yes boy, or should I say girl, I would rather eat."
That was how Ranma, ended up at the shopping mall with the four girls. She protested all the way to it, and had ended up being dragged along by both, Akane and Shampoo. Nabiki lead them to a store, where she knew she could get the best deals. Finally in the dressing room, they stripped all her clothes off, down to the bare skin.
"Nabiki, we need to get her measurements first."
"Okay sis, Akane, get me a tape measure, and Shampoo, take Ranma`s clothes with you while you try on your new clothes."
"Here`s the tape measure, Nabiki."
"Well, let`s just see what sizes you are, Ranma."
"Nabiki, I don`t want to do this, hell I am a guy, I want to attend school as a guy."
"Ranma, you spent most of the school day as a girl, because of all the random soakings, I am not going to have my fiance looking like a trollop."
"I still don`t know how all of you convinced my old man, he`s always going on about man amongst men, and such."
"It was his stomach, now be still so I can measure you, are you ready, Kasumi?"
"Go ahead."
"28, 22, 26, looks like she`s a C-cup too, quite the figure lover," said Nabiki, teasingly.
Ranma, blushed all the way to her toes at Nabiki`s tease. Nabiki decided to tease Ranma some more, and kissed her on the cheek, and squeezed her lightly on her bare bottom at the same time.
"Nabiki, please don`t do that," begged Ranma, as she had started to become aroused by the action.
"Okay, I`ll stop for now, but when we get home...."
About this time Kasumi, came back into the dressing room with several pairs of bras and panties. "Try these on Ranma, so we can see how they fit on you. Akane, is getting school uniforms for you and Shampoo, she should be here in a few minutes."
"Kasumi, I really don`t want to wear these."
"It`s either wear them, or go out naked, the choice is yours."
"They`re a little bit on the lacy side, don`t you think so, Nabiki?"
"Ranma, both Kasumi and I wear them, your not saying that we don`t know what we are doing, are you?"
"No, but I am a guy."
"Right now, you are a girl, and you should listen to what the two of us have to say."
"I will be right back, Nabiki, I am going to a nightgown for Ranma."
"What`s wrong with the tanktop and shorts, I wear now?"
"It is not proper sleepwear for a girl."
"But Kasumi, I am a guy."
"You sleep as a girl in the same room as Shampoo, and she wears a nightgown, and so should you."
"How about getting her a babydoll nightie, Kasumi?" asked Nabiki.
"No, a plain nightgown will be enough, you can get her a babydoll after you two are married."
A little after Kasumi had left to get the nightgown, Akane came in with a school uniform for Ranma to try on." Upon seeing, Ranma in the lacy underwear, she said, "A little bit on the racy side, Ranma, I didn`t think that you were that feminine."
"I`m not, it was both, Kasumi and Nabiki`s decision that I wear this type of underwear, if it was left up to me, I would only be wearing boxers."
"Well, try on this uniform, I also got you some gym clothes."
"I still say, I want to attend school as a guy."
"You were wet so many times today, you were a girl, more often than you were a boy. With your wet clothes, your nipples showed. You looked like a tramp, and I don`t want people saying that I live with a tramp," said Akane.
Ranma grumbled as she put on the clothes. Shampoo, entered just after she had finished putting on her own uniform, to see what Ranma looked like.
"Sister, you look very cute," said Shampoo, as she gave Ranma a thumbs up.
"Now we just have to get you some socks, and a pair of shoes," said Nabiki.
Ranma suffered through another couple of hours shopping with the four girls. Shampoo was not so bad, it was the other three, they just loved to shop. Kasumi, even picked out several other dresses for Ranma to wear, when she was not at school. Finally the five girls were headed home, Ranma was still in her new school uniform.
"Kasumi, I don`t know why you bought me the other dresses for. When I get home from school every day, I am going to change into a guy."
"You may have to be a girl sometimes after school, this way you will have something you can wear."
"I hope your not trying to make me a girl full time."
"Of course we`re not Ranma, I want you to be a guy when you take me out on our dates."
"What dates, Nabiki?"
"The ones, where you show me how you treat a lady of course."
"Nabiki, I have never been on a date before. So I don`t know what to do, but I do know that someone as pretty as you are, must have been on lots of dates. So you can tell me what to do on our dates."
"Thank you, for saying that I am pretty," said Nabiki, just before she gave Ranma, a deep kiss on the lips.
Ranma`s eyes glazed over, and she got a big smile on her face. Nabiki ended up leading her home by the hand, because she was so out of it. Ranma did not regain her senses until after they had reached the dojo.
When they had gotten inside the house Genma saw how Ranma was acting, so he asked, "Boy, what is wrong with you? What has you acting like a lovestruck school girl, of course that`s how your dressed now."
"She kissed me, she doesn`t care about the curse, it doesn`t matter if I am a girl at the time, or not." Ranma then proceeded up the stairs to the room she shared with Shampoo.
After they had gotten ready for bed, Shampoo asked, "You really like her, don`t you?"
"Yeah I think I might, when she kissed me earlier tonight, it just felt so right. I did not think someone could want a freak like me."
"You are not a freak, never let anyone call you that. Your curse gives you a greater knowledge of women, that most men will never know."
"Maybe your right, sis."
"I know I am right, great grandmother would tell you so to, if she were here."
"Speaking of your great grandmother, do you think she may have found more information on the curse. You remember the only thing we were able to find out, when we were still in China."
"I know just legends about an ancient race called the Ni Zee. Ranma, you know that since you are my sister now, she is your great grandmother too, not just mine."
"I guess it will be nice to have a great grandmother, I can`t remember my mother, we left home when I was only five."
"Great grandmother will love you just as much as she loves me, and I love you, sister."
"Thanks sis, for caring so much about me," said Ranma, as she gave Shampoo a big hug, "Good night sis, I love you too."
