Chapter 2
Ranma tried to clear his eyes after the flash had blinded him. While his eyes were recovering, he noticed he was no longer in the air, but standing on solid ground. This in itself was discomforting for the martial artist. He had learned quite well that anything that goes up must come down, and he seemed to miss the latter part of that equation.
Finally clearing his eyes, Ranma noticed that he was in a strange room instead of outdoor Nerima. The room was well lit, with metal walls and no obvious doorways. It was empty and he seemed to be the only thing there at the moment.
"What in the." Ranma thought to himself, "How'd I get in here?"
While still thinking on the subject, a light identical to the one that appeared around the pigtailed martial artist earlier appeared a few feet in front of him. There was a slight flash and when it was gone his teacher, Ms. Kazami stood there before him.
However, there was a major change to the fair educator. In place of her regular attire, she was now wearing something that appeared to be black spandex that showed off her beautiful figure quite nicely. Ranma had to allow himself to mentally chuckle at the thought of Ryoga's likely reaction to how Ms. Kazami now looked, not to say he wasn't staring himself.
"Ranma" Mizuho began, "as you probably guessed, what you saw the other night was my ship, and I am an alien." Ranma nodded dumbly at this so Mizuho continued, "I am with the Galactic Federation. I am here to monitor regular life on this planet. Unfortunately, I cannot do that if everyone knows about me."
Ranma considered telling her how if she wanted to monitor normal life, she was sure as HELL in the wrong place. Instead, he gave a good natured smile and said, "Don't worry Ms. Kazami, I can keep a secret. Hell, I've kept from telling Akane about pig-boy's secret for a long time now."
Mizuho idly wondered what secret he was keeping from Ms. Tendo, or who and what this pig-boy was for that matter. She approached Ranma and a triangle shaped hole appeared in her clothes on the chest area, showing off a little more skin in a very important area. As she got closer, Ranma backed away nervously.
"Um, h-hey, what d'ya think yer doin teacher?" He emphasized teacher, trying to make a point. Ranma had backed himself into a wall and into an odd situation once again.
"I am sorry Ranma" Mizuho said, still moving closer, "But I must make sure you would tell no one. The manual said that a woman coming on to a man makes them weak."
"Manual?" asked Ranma weakly, while he mentally screamed to himself, "I KNEW IT! WOMEN DO HAVE A MANUAL!"
Before he could ask anymore questions, Mizuho pressed her body against his, her developed breasts pressed firmly against his muscular chest. She wrapped her left arm around his neck and placed her right hand softly against his side. Leaning in even closer, she softly whispered, "Ranma", her hot breath tingling the hairs on his neck.
Ranma tried to fight the sensations he was feeling, really he did, but after years of sexual tension while living in Nerima, he could not resist anymore and gave in to the pleasant feeling coursing through him, dropping his hands to his sides as he slid into utter bliss.
As his hands fell, they managed to accidentally hit a button on the wall behind him. The wall turned out to be a door which then slid open, causing the two of them to fall ever so ungracefully onto the hard metal floor. The fall was enough to shake Ranma out of his stupor. Immediately he pulled himself out from under Mizuho and began running away as fast as he could, all the while berating himself for his lack of control.
Mizuho looked puzzled at her students retreating figure. "My, how fast he runs" she muttered to herself, before realizing she had a major problem.
"Marie! We have an intruder on the ship, block off all passages immediately! This Is A Priority ONE!" Mizuho screamed in a commanding voice to the ship.
In response, heavy metal doors began coming down from the ceiling all around the ship. Ranma managed to get caught in a small section of the hallway between two of the said doors. Looking for a way out, Ranma found none. He did see a computer console against the wall, but quickly decided to leave it be since he knew nothing about computers.
Ranma then noticed a now familiar glow on the floor. "Oh man" he thought, "here she comes."
Seeing no other alternative, Ranma turned to one of the doors and began focusing his chi while thinking of all his past victories, allowing his confidence to build. A yellow aura built around the young man before he focused it between his hands. With a fierce cry of ,
"MOUKO TAKIBISHA!!!" Ranma hurled the energy at the door.
The energy passed right through the door, along with every other one in the hallways, only dissipating once it hit the outer wall. Each hole was easily six foot in diameter, and Ranma had no trouble rushing away from the bright light behind him.
Mizuho appeared once the light had disappeared. Looking around for Ranma, all she saw was the wholes in the doors. Mizuho walked over and stared disbelievingly at the large holes.
"But how?" she asked herself, "These doors are reinforced titanium alloy and he wasn't carrying a weapon of any kind. How did he do this?"
Deciding to find Ranma first and ask questions later, she looked up and spoke to the ship once again, "Marie, transport me to the intruders location. This is a priority one!"
---
Meanwhile, Ranma was lost. Worrying slightly about Ryoga rubbing off on him, he managed to walk in a large room with a very large computer console. Ranma merely stared slack jawed, though not at the computer console mind you. Standing there on the console was a 1 foot tall yellow thing.
During his stay at the Tendo Dojo, Ranma had watched a little TV now and then. During one such time, he had managed to watch an American show which had such horror, such evil that it scared him more than any cat ever could.
Quickly dashing over to the sickingly cute creature, Ranma grabbed it, tossed it into the air, and began pummeling it with speed that made the Amuguriken pail in comparison. Said cute creature didn't stand a chance as it was slammed into the nearby wall from the force of the blow, before slowly sliding down the wall.
Muttering to himself something about Tellytubbies, Ranma turned to look at the holographic computer monitor before him and saw Mizuho staring through the screen.
"Marie, transport me to the intruders location. This is a priority one!" said the image of Mizuho. There was a slight pause before an impatient Mizuho spoke once more, "Marie! Oh fine, I'll do this myself."
Ranma had to think quick. Obviously this ship was what caused the light and transportation, but he didn't have a clue as to how to work it. All he knew was he didn't want to do any more damage to the ship, not wanting to have his teacher mad at him. Not to mention if Ms. Kazami got him in the position he was in earlier, he knew he couldn't hold out.
Ranma pushed a random combo of buttons and amazingly the light began glowing beneath him just like always. A flash ensued in front of him and there stood Ms. Kazami.
"There you are Ranma!" she cried out, "I've been looking all over for you."
Ranma merely smiled as the light grew brighter and waved pleasantly, "Bye now!"
Once again there was a bright flash and Ranma found himself in a new place, thankfully able to see since he closed his eyes prior to the flash this time. What he saw did not comfort him.
All around him were what looked like floating islands and not too far away was a swirling black vortex that was sucking everything in. Ranma stood there for a moment looking at it, as his island was pulled closer and closer, before realizing one very important fact, "I'm gonna get sucked in!"
Unfortunately for the mostly male martial artist, it was too late to try and run away, as the vortex was sucking him in. All he could do was grab the ground and hold on for dear life.
"RANMA!" a voice cried out above him.
Ranma looked up to see Mizuho floating there, he hadn't even noticed the flash. His surprise at seeing her caused him to lose his grip on the ground and he began falling towards the black hole.
"Ranma!" Mizuho cried out in alarm, "Take my hand!"
Ranma stretched out his hand and almost grabbed Mizuho's, but he was a few inches to far away. He began falling quickly into the darkness. Quickly deciding that Mizuho could not possibly be worse that the swirling black vortex of death, he turned and fired a Mouko Takibisha into the void. The blast did nothing to the void, but it did send him hurling back to Mizuho who awaited him with open arms.
Catching Ranma in her arms, Mizuho shouted out, "Marie! Transport us out of here now! THIS A PRIORITY ONE!" while idly thinking that at least she knew how he made the holes in her ship.
The light surrounded them and just before they were sucked into the void a bright flash occurred and they were teleported away. Having not had the time to specify a location, Mizuho didn't have a clue as to where they were headed, but it had to be better than there. As luck would have it, they appeared right over an all too familiar canal in Nerima. Of course, a large splash ensued.
Mizuho swam to shore, making sure Ranma was behind her. She thought that the stress from the near death experience must have gotten to her because she could have sworn Ranma's hair looked red. Finally reaching dry land, the two collapsed to the ground and laid on their backs.
After a few moments had passed, Mizuho spoke up saying, "That was dangerous, we barely made it out alive."
A voice to her right agreed with her, "Yeah, that was way too close for comfort." Mizuho knew this couldn't be Ranma. It was too high and sounded like a girl's voice.
Turning to look at the source of the voice, Mizuho saw a red head female, with a pigtail just like Ranma's, and wearing Ranma's cloths, laying there on the ground. Mizuho immediately jumped up to look at the newcomer. "Who are you?" she demanded, "What did you do to Ranma?"
The stranger blinked a few times before looking down to her chest. She seemed to stare at her breasts for a moment before sighing and standing up.
Nervously putting one hand behind her head to scratch the pigtail, the girl said, "I'm Ranma Saotome. Sorry 'bout this."
---
Later, Mizuho and a now female Ranma are sitting in Mizuho's apartment, with a kettle of warm water and a pitcher of cold sitting in front or Ranma. Mizuho was openly glaring at Ranma, who cringed in response to the usually kind woman's harsh glare.
"Alright, just how can you be Ranma, when you're a girl and he is obviously a guy?" Mizuho asked, still eyeing the redhead suspiciously.
Ranma didn't answer. Instead, she picked up the kettle and poured it over her head. The effect was instantaneous as her body grew several inches, red hair changed to black, perky breasts changed to chiseled, muscular chest, and 'she' became 'he'.
Mizuho gasped in shock but said nothing, apparently stunned. Ranma demonstrated a few more times, altenating between kettle and pitcher. After one more round from the kettle, a male Ranma walked over to the staring Mizuho and waved one hand in front of her face.
"Hey teach" he said, "You okay?"
This seemed to snap Mizuho out of her trance. She stood up and placed both hands against Ranma's firm chest, moving them a bit as if to make sure he was real. Ranma let out an audible gulp. His thin, Chinese shirt did not do much to keep him from feeling the gentle touch of Mizuho's hands, and it felt kind of nice.
Mizuho removed her hands, grabbed the pitcher, and dumped some of its contents on her student. She returned her hands to Ranma's now female chest and began inspecting once again. Ranma blushed heavily from the feeling of Mizuho's hands on her breasts, and even let out a muffled moan when Mizuho went so far as to squeeze them.
Mizuho looked up at the sound of the moan to see Ranma's face beet red with her blush. Looking back down, she finally noticed just what she had been doing. Quickly pulling back her hands, Mizuho blushed as well and began trying to speak.
"What? Who? He.she?" Mizuho stammered. Deciding the mouth wasn't getting anywhere on its own, Mizuho's brain put in its two cents and finally asked, "How?"
'How?' was a familiar question for Ranma, one that she had answered many time before. Taking in a deep breath, Ranma once again began the story of her gender changing curse.
"When I was five, Pop took me on a ten year training trip to teach me to be world class martial artists, best of my generation, and a 'man amongst men'. I won't bore ya with the long version, but near the end, Pop found a training ground in China call Jusenkyo. Now, neither of us speak a word of Chinese, but we go anyways. Didn't even listen to the guides warnings. Anyways, there are all the pools full of water, hundreds of em, with bamboo poles sticking up all over the place. Me and Pop jump up on the poles and begin sparring. After a few rounds, I knock him in one of the pools. I hear the guide say sumthin 'bout cursed spring and panda when a panda, wearing my Pops clothes, bursts out of the water and knocks me off my pole. I end up falling in a spring myself, and when I surface." Ranma gestured to her body, ".I looked like this. From then on, hot water turned me back into a guy, while cold turns me into a girl. Same with Pops and him being a panda."
Mizuho merely sat there, trying to digest all the information. She had never been one to believe in magic or curses, but he was a real life example sitting right in front of her. During her thoughts, Ranma used the kettle to change herself back into a guy, while noticing it was now empty as well. As soon as he set the kettle down, Ranma slender arms pull him into a gentle embrace.
"Oh you poor boy" Mizuho said while holding Ranma close, "It must have been horrible for you."
Part of Ranma wanted to pull away from the hug, but the rest noticed this wasn't the patented amazon glomp he was so used to. This was warm and comforting, and just felt right in general. Ranma slowly allowed himself to dissolve into the hug and returned it himself. After a few moments, Mizuho released him and pulled away, much to Ranma's disappointment.
Ranma stood there and scratched the back of his head saying, "Umm.well, that is. what I mean to say is." Ranma sighed once then continued, "Thanks Ms. Kazami"
"You are quite welcome" Mizuho responded with a smile, "And don't worry, I'll keep your secret."
Ranma stared at her for a moment before he burst out laughing. After he finally calmed down, he said, "Don't worry about that teach. I don't think there's a person in all Nerima who doesn't know about it. Oh! And don't worry, I won't tell a soul about you, I promise."
Mizuho smiled again, "I know Ranma. I believe I can trust you, you have honest eyes."
Mizuho peered deep into Ranma ocean blue eyes as he looked into her own purple eyes. After a moment, Ranma turned away with a blush and said, "Well, I gotta go now Ms. Kazami."
Mizuho blushed as well and said, "Uhh, yes. I'll see you tomorrow, right Ranma?"
Ranma nodded cheerfully, walked out onto the patio, and leapt off into the Nerima night sky. As he flew through the air, Ranma couldn't help but smile. This was the first time in a long while he actually looked forward to the next day with hope.

Authors Notes:
Well, this chapters a little longer, totaling up to near 3000, about 1000 more than previous chaps. I hope you liked this chapter, which centered around Ranma and Mizuho learning about each other mostly. So when is the rest of the loveable Nerima Cast showing up? Soon my friends. Probably not next chapter, but the one following that, Ryoga will make an appearance. What's going to happen when he shows up? Or how about in between then and now? Wait and see my friends, wait and see!
PS- I am dreading writing more Kuno. He is a royal pain to write lines for, as I am sure anyone who has written stories with him in it will agree.

Probably not next chapter, but the one following that, Ryoga will make an appearance. What's going to happen when he shows up? Or how about in between then and now? Wait and see my friends, wait and see!
PS- I am dreading writing more Kuno. He is a royal pain to write lines for, as I am sure anyone who has written stories with him in it will agree.
