There's something wrong with Ranma

A/N: Thanks for the reviews positive and negative, sigh

Please keep responding and I'll write more. This chapter is a little longer.

Warning this is eventually going to get a higher rating.  Most likely R because of language and really upsetting details

(Sorry H_fans No Lime! Ha ha ha.) And I am renaming this chapter because of sudden inspiration

Don't worry Shampoo shall appear, just not now

Still wondering what happened to Ranma?

Something big is going to be discovered.  Will Akane find out?

Don't own Ranma blah blah blah

**Still means thoughts (If you haven't got it by now)

Ch. 4 Hentai Happosai's Hollowed Hails

            Akane woke up the next morning feeling very bad.  She had cried herself to sleep.  She at first didn't remember why she cried *Why am I crying?*  was her first thought.  Everything came back to her with a rush of emotions *Oh yeah, Ranma crying.*  Her thought's however, were interrupted by her window exploding.  Ranma flew through the window and was embedded into the wall. 

"Ouch" was all he said.

Akane got out of bed and went to Ranma

"Are you okay?" she asked a little worried

Ranma looked into her eyes and grinned and pulled himself out the wall

"Yep.  The master was just showing me some new techniques." Shaking the dust out of his clothes he sat down and continued

"I never imagined he was so strong"

Ranma stood up and kissed Akane.  Any earlier thoughts before went out her head as she began to kiss him back.  She looked at his face so close to her own and blushed.  Akane sighed as she deepened the kiss and her eyes drifted down. to his collar.  She saw down his loose shirt and was horrified at what she saw but didn't break the kiss.  After what seemed an eternity later, but was actually a couple minutes later, Ranma broke the kiss

"I feel better already."  Seeing her troubled expression he frowned

"Something wrong?  You didn't enjoy that?"

Akane, seeing his hurt expression, quickly shook her head and put on a huge smile.  She was about to comment when Happosai's voice was heard in her room

"Ranma, you better come back down here so we can finish today's training.  I should not have knocked you into your fiancé's bedroom!"

Akane blushed as Ranma grinned and approached the hole in her wall

"Gotta Go." Ranma said as she jumped out the hole.

Akane nodded as he left.  She put her fingers to her lips and blew him a kiss goodbye.  He caught it and placed it in his pocket

"This will help me get up next time master knocks me down"

Akane grinned as he left but frowned because she remembered what she saw.  She quickly put a blanket on the hole in the wall, got dressed and left for her sister's room.

            "What's wrong sis" Nabiki said as Akane suddenly barged into her romm out of breath.  She put the money that she was counting and waited for Akane to catch her breath.

"Its…huff……..bout…….huff…….Ranma! ……..I…….huff………saw………something!"

Akane had Nabiki's full attention.  Nabiki pulled out a seat and gestured for Akane to sit

"What happened?" Nabiki said as Akane plopped down into the seat.

Akane breathing easier blushed as she told Nabiki everything that happened earlier. Nabiki only frowned, smiled or cocked an eyebrow at the kissing parts, causing Akane to blushed even harder.  When it was all over, Nabiki cracked her knuckles and simply said one word

"Crap."

Akane looked at her sister

"What is it?" she asked

Nabiki laughed nerviously

"Don't you get it?"

Akane was angry that Nabiki figured everything out

"What? Do you know what happened to Ranma?" Akane was out her seat shaking her sister.  Nabiki sighed and popped Akane on the head.  Nabiki sat back down on the bed while Akane sat back in the chair.

"I don't know what happened to Ranma.  From what you told me, whatever happened to Ranma has made him reenvaulate his whole life even about you."

Akane was still confused

"What"

"Listen whatever happened to Ranma has scared him shitless"

"What!"

Nabiki sighed

"Okay lets put all the facts together again. One; he is acting different in front of everybody and even by himself.  Two; He is training harder then ever with a far better teacher and for our last detail please repeat what you saw down his shirt"

Akane gulped remembering what she saw.

"I saw a bunch of scars newly healed……… OH GOD" Akane said finally putting the details together.

Nabiki smiled

"Now you get it.  Akane listen I need to have proof of those scars.  Most likely I need to take pictures of him at a time that he is unaware" Nabiki said.

Akane shook her head and Nabiki continued to explain

"Listen, Ranma was seriously hurt and did not tell anyone.  We need to find out what happened to him and why is he hiding it.  Akane I do not want to do this but if we need to force him to admit something is wrong, we need proof."

Akane slowly nodded giving in to Nabiki's logic and her knowing how stubborn Ranma is or was.

"All that is left is to set up some hidden cameras."  Nabiki left and Akane sat on Nabiki's bed.  Akane shuddered seeing those scars

and slowly drifted to sleep thinking *Ranma, Gods what happened to you to cause you to change so much*.

One Hour Later

            "Akane wake up" Nabiki shook her softly.  Slowly Akane woke up and asat on the bed

"What is it, Nabiki?"  Nabiki frowned and fidgeted somewhat

"You are not going to like these pictures" 

In Nabiki's hands were a couple of pictures of Ranma.  Akane jumped off the bed
"Show me!" Akane demanded, "I have to see them!" 

Nabiki handed Akane the pictures and with one glance on them Akane sat back down on the bed and started crying.  The firdt picture was of Ranma's back.  It was covered with numerous scars, some healing as simple white lines, but others were black and some just bloody because they had reopened.  It looked to Akane that someone has cut a complex pattern of characters and shapes onto his skin.  Akane forced herself to view the other pictures.  The next couple was of his back but the last few was of Ranma's chest.  There were even more scars on front but in addition, numerous burns covered his body and again it seemed to form some complex pattern and several words in an unknown language was cut on to his arms.  Akane wiped her eyes and started to speak

"Nabiki this can't be real.  I saw Ranma's body yesterday.  He had not one mark!  But look at him now"

Nabiki frowned

"Someone really did a fucking number on Ranma.  Our mystery deepens.  Akane, Ranma could of covered himself up with make up or is using a technique to cover his wounds. So you need to touch him somehow without his shirt on."

Akane blushed

"How am I supposed to do that!" Akane responded

"I don't know. Also you should talk to Happosai.  I have the feeling he knows more about this then he is letting on."

Akane put the pictures in her pocket and went downstairs to see Ranma and Happosai mediating.

            She approached carefully, not wanting to be groped by the old man.  Happosai opened his eyes

"Come in child.  This old man has promised not to grope you."

Akane relaxed and walked up to Ranma, who was deep in meditation.  Akane getting an idea walks up behind Ranma and places her arms around his neck and leaned in to kiss his face.  Akane thought she saw Ranma wince.

"Oh sorry Ranma! Am I that heavy?" she pouted.

Ranma smiled at her and shook his head

"Nope just a little sore from the beatings master give me today. But I learned a lot of new things today"

Akane interested asked

"What you learn?" getting another grin from Ranma

"You'll have to find out one day."

Ranma stood up with Akane still hanging on his back.  He winced but quickly hid it.  He bowed to Happosai with her still on his back and said

"Master, may I go now"

Happosai looked at Ranma and Akane and smiled.  He took out a pipe and lit it

"Yes Ranma, you're done for the day anyway.  Be back here tomorrow for more."  with that Happosai started smoking his pipe

Ranma left the room with Akane still hanging from his back with little trouble.

"Akane you are going to have to put on some weight!" Ranma laughed.

Akane got off his back and put her hands on her lhips

"Oh why is that" 
Ranma laughed and picked her up and swung her around

"Because, you are as lite as a feather."  To prove his put he tossed her in to the air. Causing Akane to scream until he caught her

"That was mean!" she yelled, but Ranma grinned and threw up in the air again, almost hitting the ceiling.  She was caught by Ranma again.  This time, she was laughing

"Okay! Okay! I am not heavy" Akane gave in as Ranma put her down

"I need to ask Happosai about something.  Wait here and I'll reward you or punish" Ranma faked a pout but saluted her

"Yes Mam!" yes whispered to her though "I'm hoping for a punishment" which got Akane to blush.

She walked out to the room that Happosai was in

            She walked in to see Happosai smoking his pipe lost in thought.  She tapped his shoulder

"Hello Akane what is the problem that you didn't want to discuss in front of Ranma."

Akane was amazed

"How did you know?"

"I been alive so long you pick up things" Taking a puff  "It's about Ranma. Isn't it?"

Akane nodded

"Do you know of a technique to hide scars"

Happosai took another puff and exhaled blew the smoke out in a pattern that looked familiar to her

"Yes I do.  In matter of fact I help create such a technique with one other"

Akane blessed her good luck

"Do you know how to force one who has the skill in effect to cancel it"

Happosai puffed his pipe and spoke

"I must tell you that only one who has a gaint chi can use this skill to maintain it and it takes a large amount of concentration to maintain it.  But to answer your question, I only made the part to put it in effect."

Akane sighed in frustration

"Then you know who knows how to cancel the spell"

Happosai nodded and exhaled, the smoke leaving his mouth in a strange shape like before

"Why does this apply to Ranma?"

Akane simply handed him the pictures.  Happosai looked at each one and took a deep breath

"Akane do you know why I came back" he said after a while

"I do not know"

"Ranma hides it but a couple of days ago, his chi has nearly quadrupled in strength"

Akane gasped

"He became that strong?"

"Yes, but he hides his true strength from everyone, but he does not know that true masters can sense it.  That is why I came back.  I was truly scared for Ranma, who is like the grandson I never had.  You may have not felt the change but you could see it in his form.

Ranma's fighting style has became more serious"

Akane agreed, remembering the Kuno fight. Happosai exhaled another weird pattern as he continued

"Ranma is hiding something but he hides it to well"  Happosai closed his eyes

"The person who knows how to cancel this spell should be back fro china.  You should know her"

Akane put the facts together

"Cologne!"

Happosai nodded

"We used to make such great things together," He said in a tone of regret and took a puff. "Now leave child.  I have answered your questions.  Let this old man think"

Akane got up and walked to the door.  She ran back and gave Happosai and big hug

"You know Ranma is not the only one to change"

Happosai laughed

"Don't worry I still love panties, I just won't chase after your's or Ranma's anymore.  It feels too weird now"

Akane smiled

"I be glad to call you grandfather any day"

Happosai smiled and took a puff

"The same goes for you too Akane. You have changed"

Akane smiled and left the room.  He sighed and began to speak to himself "Ranma, I know exactly what happened to you, but how could I bring myself to tell Akane.  You will have to tell her if you want or let her find out."  He took a puff.  "Akane, be careful.  Ranma needs you now."  With that Happosai not feeling for stealing undergarments; went back to meditation.

Next Time on Ranma½:  Our mystery grows deeper as Akane finds out more about what happened to Ranma.  Also it is time for our favorite amazons to make an appearance.
