"It's not what you think Akane!" Ryoga said putting his arms up in defense as Akane stood staring in shock.

"Ow. Why'd you do that Ryoga? People don't throw the girl they love around." Ranma said standing up.

"Ryoga, what's going on?" Akane spurted out finally.

"Would you leave please Akane? We were in the middle of something." Ranma said pushing Akane out the door.

"Hey you can't do that!" Akane yelled bursting back into the bathroom.

"Grr! Will you stop this!" Ryoga grabbed Ranma throwing him into the tub. "There." He stands for a few moments facing the blushing Akane. "Oh snap." Ryoga sits back into the tub as boy Ranma comes up.

"Is it bath time Aka-Chan?" Ranma asked wiping the water from his face.

"You don't remember how you got here Ranma?" Akane asked the boy who shook his head.

"Did this man bring me home?" Ranma said pointing to the confused Ryoga.

"What's going on Akane? What's up with Ranma?" Ryoga asked the girl who was getting towels from the other room now.

"Personally I don't know Ryoga." Akane came back in handing the two towels as Ranma jumped out. "Uh, Ranma why don't you go see Kasumi and tell her you're home okay. She'll get you dry clothes." Akane told the boy who nodded and left the room.

"Why was he crying like a little baby when I found him?" Ryoga asked as Akane left the room closing the door.

"Ranma got in a bit of an accident last week. Ever since he has acted like a five-year-old. Until now that is. When he was in his cursed form he was acting…" She leaned her back to the door.

"Like a girl. I got that much." Ryoga said through the door. "So in male form he's a kid, and in girl form he's, Ranma if raised as a girl?"

"I, think, that's the case. I'm not too sure about all this. I mean what caused that? Shouldn't he just be a girl five year old when he changed?" Akane leaves for the hall.

"Probably." Ryoga sat by the door. "Akane? Uh, can someone get me some clothes?"

"Aka-Chan can we play tag?" Ranma said to Akane as they sat on the back porch.

"Uh, okay Ranma. Who's it first?" Akane asked standing up.

"You." Ranma stuck out his tongue running away. "Catch me if you can Aka-Chan!"

"I knew he'd do that." Akane ran after the boy, but he was too fast.

"You can't catch me Aka-Chan! Ha-ha!" Ranma said looking back while running.

"Ranma look out!" Akane yelled, but Ranma had run into a tree and now was crying on the ground. "You're okay Ranma. It's just a scratch." She hugged him as he continued to weep. "C'mon you wanna be called a baby Ranma."

"N-no, but it hurts." Ranma said trying to stifle his cry. "I won't cry anymore."

"It's okay to cry Ranma so don't worry." She said wiping his tears away with her hand. "You should be strong Ranma. That's how I know you." Ranma looked up to her with a smile. 'Strong, along with arrogant that is.'

"Was that boy your boyfriend Aka-Chan?" Ranma asked as they headed back for the house.

"Ryoga? Of course not. Why do you ask?" Akane said leading him back to the porch.

"I just think you do. You act like it Aka-Chan." Ranma said jumping onto the porch.

"Tell you what Ranma. You're the only guy for me." She said laughing coming onto the porch.

The wall suddenly comes down and Ryoga stands in Ranma's clothes with clenched fists. "That's it Ranma! You're mine!" Ryoga moves punching Ranma off the porch to the lawn.

"Mean man! You're a big meanie!" Ranma yelled on the verge of crying.

"Ryoga! What's your problem?!" Akane runs over to Ranma to see if he's okay. "I never knew you could be such a jerk Ryoga." Akane said not looking to him.

"Akane." Ryoga turned to the house ashamed. "I'm sorry." Ryoga runs off out of the yard.

"It's okay Ranma. Ryoga didn't mean anything by it." Akane said helping Ranma up.

"I'm tired Aka-Chan." Ranma said yawning.

"Okay Ranma. Time for a nap then." Akane smiled at him as they moved for the house again.

Kinai: Yeah he still has his body, but he thinks and acts like a little boy.

Elisteran: She was blaming Genma for not growing up right. He's acting like a kid, he thinks he's a kid, and all he can remember was the first five years of his life. It's not just him acting like a kid, but he thinks he's still a kid.
