Chapter 12

The companions prepared for battle. Genma released his battle aura and became that giant (literally, giant) panda, Mousse prepared his arsenal, Tarou transformed, Shampoo transformed, and Ranma and Ryoga dropped into battle stances.

Ku-kun sneered at them. Who's first? Ryoga jumped at the sorcerer. I am!!! But of course, Ryoga has no idea where he's going, and that's the last they'd see of him for a few weeks at least. Oooookaaaay...who's next?

Genma put his paws up and growled. Ku-kun smiled. All right! Now to start with one of my special techiques! He started chanting in Csome old forgotten language known only for black magic. And since this is supposed to be anime, strange kanjis started floating out of his body.

Genma started to shrink. Ranma yelled at Ku-kun. What the heck are you doing to Pop?! Ku-kun had finished chanting. He turned to Ranma and shrugged. Well, isn't it obvious? Come on, one of you martial artists has got to be more intelligent than that! Pathetic. Fine, I'll tell you. I'm sucking his energy from his body, which is why his battle aura is fading.

Genma plopped onto the ground. He held up one of his annoying signs. I leave it....to you guys...' Ku-kun scratched the back of his head. Strange, that spell shouldn't have weakened him...oh well! Everyone sweatdropped and Ranma went over to kick the lazy panda.

Ku-kun laughed. Do you see the futility of your efforts NOW mortals? I've already taken care of your two pathetic friends! A loud snore from Genma. Shampoo-neko huffed and bounced over to Ranma. She jumped onto his face. Suddenly, the whole lair shook with Ranma's frantic cries for help.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! C-C-C-C-C-C-CAT! CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!CAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!!C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!! WH-WH-WHY ME???!?!!! AAAAH C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-CAT!!!

Ku-kun sweatdropped. Uh-huh. And that's supposed to defeat me...how? Suddenly, Ranma stopped screaming and dropped to all fours. Ku-kun's eyes widened. Shampoo fell off of Ranma as he sprung up at Ku-kun, clawing desperately at the sorcerer's face.

OW! Get im off! He lifted two fingers and pointed them at Ranma, blowing a ray of electricity at the cat victim slamming the poor guy against the wall. Ranma left a huge crater and slid to the ground. He was unconscious. For the moment at least.

Ku-kun's breathing was a little heavier. Now that...gasp.....wheeze....was a little creepy. Tarou roared in his demonic form. Ku-kun glared at him. You want to have a go? Fine, come at me. Tarou flew at him.

With a quick motion, Tarou landed a blow to the sorcerer's head. However, Ku-kun was able to jump away from Tarou's kick. In one swift move, Ku-kun was on Tarou's head. Using the same technique he had used on Ranma, he gave Tarou a power surge to the head.

Tarou had swirly eyes for a moment, and volts of electricity jolted through his horns. But he recovered faster than Ranma. He awoke and body slammed Ku-kun into the floor of his own lair.

Speaking of Ranma, he had come out of his unconscious stupor. Ow, my head... Shampoo strutted over to him. We needn't go into another explanation of Ranma's phobia, but never-the-less he slipped back into cat-fu.

Ku-kun jumped out of his hole in the ground in just enough time to escape Tarou's next assault. Just as he jumped aside, Ranma attacked him again, ripping his trenchcoat to shreds. Ku-kun growled at the martial artist.

He took this time to yell over to Kon Di. [Your friends are quite annoying!] Kon Di tried to spit on him from her position above the vat. [KURAI BAKA! Don't you DARE insult them! Muu Tsu! Kick his butt! Go Ranma! Go....other guy! Go panda dude! Go Xian Pu! Go....where's the pig boy?]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile Ryoga is

Where am I now?!?!!? Hey, an ice cream truck! WAIT FOR ME MR. ICE CREAM MAN!

Is in some random American suburb

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ku-kun's battle aura flew up. THAT'S IT! All of your stupid god-forsaken curses are driving me insane! Once again, he began the chanting. And once again, kanjis came floating out.

All of a sudden, Tarou, Shampoo, and Genma were human. Tarou crashed to the ground. Argh! Why can't I fly?! Why am I talking!? Ack! I'm human! What have you done, sorcerer?! Ku-kun smiled cynnically. I have locked you all in your original forms! No more cat-fu, no more stupid pandas, and thank god, no more flying yeti ox things!

Tarou looked around for a second, and plopped down to the ground. Well, I'm done. Shampoo looked at him for a second and plopped down next to him. Shampoo can do no more help here. Shampoo done too. Genma walked over and fell asleep next to them.

Mousse looked at them. Are you kidding me?! Shampoo shook her head. No joke. Airen, you want sit down with us? Ranma crossed his arms. As if! I ain't never lost any martial arts anything, and I'm not losing this one!

Ku-kun smiled some more. It's your funeral. Shampoo and Tarou stole Aqua Rosewater's popcorn, and proceeded to watch the match. Is good battle, yes? Tarou nodded vigorously. That crossdresser can pack a puch. And that duck guy could probably stab the guy if he put his mind to it.

Ranma spun around. I'm not a crossdresser!!! Ku-kun sprung at him. An opening! He zapped Ranma again, causing Ranma to fall unconscious. Shampoo pulled him into her lap. Is all up to you, Muu Tsu! Tarou ate some of the good popcorn.

Mousse looked up at Kon Di. [Hurry, Muu Tsu! That stuff doesn't look friendly!] Just as she said that, her rope began to fray and snap. Ku-kun looked up in horror. [No! Kon Di!] He and Mousse ran for the vat.

Mousse sent his chains flying and pulled Conditioner to safety. But Ku-kun was still running. In an attempt to catch her, he fell in the vat. Kon Di screamed, waking up even Ranma and Genma. Everyone looked on in awe, afraid to find out just what sort of horrible creature would come out

The concoction began to bubble as something rose from it's depths. The thing in the vat rose, and rose, and rose, and suddenly-

END OF CHAPTER 12
(just kidding)

Ku-kun popped out. Whole and unharmed. Everyone had a big anime fall. I thought you were supposed to turn into a hideous monster! Ku-kun looked himself over. Strange, so did I. Oh! I get it! Everyone rolled their eyes. Ku-kun giggled nervously. Well, you know how your curses reverse with hot water? Well, I guess the effects of the Jusenkyo waters were cancelled when I boiled my mixture. heheheh, oops.

Mousse pulled all of his chains off of Kon Di. [Are you all right?] Kon Di nodded. [Yeah. Sorry I scared you like that.] Ku-kun shrugged. Well, I guess I'll let you guys take Conditioner back. My plan screwed up. But just wait until next time! I swear I'll-

He couldn't finish his sentence because at that moment, everone shoved him back into his failed mixture. Kon Di got horse shoe eyes. Kurai Baka! You smell like Ryoga! Everyone laughed.

Kon Di turned to Mousse and Shampoo. [Well, I guess I'll go back to the village now] They gaped at her. [What?! Don't the laws say they'd be forced to kill you if you return without fullfilling your duties?] Kon Di shook her head. [No, I'll explain to them that Xian Pu is still working on capturing her husband.]

Tarou was back with the others, translating. Ranma and Genma came up behind them. Ranma put his hand on Kon Di's shoulder. We'll miss ya, Conditioner. She sniffed and then laughed. She turned to them. Thank you all for letting me stay here. I had fun!

Ku-kun came over, dripping wet, since no one else could say anything. You could speak fluent Japanese the whole time? She smiled and nodded. Yep! It was just so much more fun the other way!

She turned to them for the final time. Well, good bye everyone! Maybe I'll come back and visit sometime. She started to walk away. Mousse flinched and called out to her in Chinese. [Wait a minute, Kon Di!] She turned around, giving him an inquisitive look. He enveloped her in a big hug. [I'll miss you, Kon Di.]

Where am I now? Oh no, a drop! Aieeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

riding a rollercoaster at Silver Dollar City. ^_^ (fun)

A/N- THE END! I'm sad that it's over. ;_; I guess that means I'll just have to write a sequel, because I love Kon Di sooooo much! I hope you all noticed that this chapter was alot longer. But I'm gonna need somebody's help with the sequel. Email me at jplee@aristotle.net and help me with a plot for the amazing sequel to: Lather, rinse, repeat!!!

I had so many wonderful reviews! Don't stop reviewing, please! I love your input! I'm sorry it took so long to update, I was in Branson, Missouri on spring break. I just want to say that you are free to use either Kon Di or Ku-kun in any of your fics! Just email me first so that I know the story and can be the first one to read it! ^_^ I love you all! Keep writing everyone!

Some info about the last chapter: You see, Ku-kun never really wanted to hurt Kon Di deep down. That's why he kept trying to save her. Shampoo sat out with Tarou because she wanted Mousse to be the one to rescue Conditioner.

Kon Di stuff that I never told you: The reason she had all the guns actually has to do with admiration for Mousse. She was devoted to the guy, so she created her own technique following the style of his hidden weapons. Kind of like she was the mistress of hidden..........guns or something like that.

Tarou stuff; Just in case it was confusing to some people, Tarou actually is Chinese. He was born in Jusenkyo, from a village nearby. Remember? Okay, just checking

Ku-kun stuff: He really is a nice guy. He saved Kon Di from the thugs, and from his own concoction several times. All he really wanted was some attention. Aw, poor ku-kun!
