Part 6: End

"Baby, what happened to you?" Sasmi asked when they had stopped running. "You're . . . you're a . . ."

"A woman!" Tokka shouted. He was dumbfounded, but he quickly recovered from that and laughed out loud. "My brother is my sister!"

"Shut up!" Rahzar yelled. But Tokka would not. "Shut up!" She repeated. But still Tokka would not. Rahzar was fed up. She rammed Tokka down. Her hands squeezed Tokka's delicate throat. Tokka gurgled and pulled at Rahzar's hands trying to pry him off.

"I'm . . . s-sah-sorry."

"Come on knock it off," Sasami said. "Your brothers been throught a lot as it is already."

Rahzar pulled away. "I'm sorry too, little brother," she said, still holding a grudge. Tokka soothed his throat as he nodded. Rahzar sat beside him and patted him on the back. Once. Twice. Three times. And the third time it wasn't a pat on the back. It was a hard, jabbing blow. "Next time you'll shut up the first time I tell you!" she shouted as she stood up.

Tokka nodded. He still feared his brother. Man or woman. It didn't matter.

"Understood?!"

Tokka once again nodded.

"Good."

"Rahzar," Sasmi said. Rahzar turned to her. Sasami sighed. "I never thought I'd have to say this, but I think that maybe tonight we shouldn't 'play doctor'."

Rahzar's jaw dropped. "No, I love that game."

"I know you do, but we can't. Not in your . . . condition."

"My condition?! I have no condition! Come on! You always said you'd make love to me no matter what happened!"

"No, I said I'd always love you no matter what happened," Sasami corrected. "There's a difference." Tokka held back his laughter.

"Can't you make an exception? It'll be just for tonight. I'll get Ranma's male form by tomorrow night. What do you say?" Rahzar asked as she moved closer to Sasami.

Sasami smiled. She leaned forward and touched Rahzar's face gently. "I say," she whispered. She paused for a second. "I'll wait for tomorrow night," she added, her voice no longer a whisper. She then waked away. "It's just one night. You can go on without it for one night."

Rahzar mumbled and pouted like only a girl could.

No one had noticed that both Ranma and Ryoga were close by. They hid behind the bushes and shrubs. Ranma spotted Akane bound and gaged against a tree. He could feel his anger build and Ryoga could feel his build as well. Carefully they moved closer. When they reached Akane, Ryoga whispered to her, "After Ranma unties you, it's your job to get Sasami to drink the antidote. I'll take Tokka while Ranma gets his other half together. Curse and all."

Ranma quickly untied her and hid in the bushes again. Ryoga sat beside him. They waited for just the right moment. Akane waited for Sasami to come close. When Sasami had finally come close enough, Akane sprang up. She caught her off guard and wrestled her to the ground. Ryoga came out of the shrubs. He jumped Tokka and Ranma soon came out. Rahzar was ready for him though. They fought for some time.

Ranma could hear Sasami gurgle as Akane poured the potion in her mouth. "Done!" Akane shouted. She stood up and watched Shampoo's body spasm. It was almost as if Sasami's spirit was fighting to stay intact with the body. But soon Shampoo came back and it was like Sasami was thrown out of the body.

"Shampoo have headache. What did stupid girl do?"

"I saved you, that's what I did," Akane answered as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Ah! Why me? Things were going so well," Sasami said as she floated above Akane and Shampoo's head. Tokka, too distracted to fight, was knocked out by Ryoga. He fell limp to the floor. Soon Ranma had his female half pinned to the ground.

"So long, Rahzar."

Rahzar squirmed, but to no avail.

"Hurry, Ranma. The sun is going to raise any time now!" Akane warned.

"'No longer two, but one as we once were'," he chanted.

Soon a light over took them. Their minds as well as their eyes became blank. Their mouths opened slightly. A single spiritual orb came from Ranma's female form and as that happened Ranma's second half became almost invisible as it lifted off the ground and into his male form. The orb then moved toward Sasami. Slowly it took the form of a ghost. Rahzar. He sighed.

"This isn't the end."

And with that he was gone. Him and Sasami. The sun rose and Ranma stood. Akane rushed to him. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"Stay away from me," he said bitterly.

"Hey! Why are you mad at me? What did I not do this time?"

"Just stay away!"

"Don't talk to her like that!" Ryoga shouted.

"You, stay out of it! Mind your own business!"

As Ranma got himself together again, the memories of the past few days ran fresh in his mind as if everything had happened just yesterday. Every thought, every feeling Rahzar felt, Ranma remembered. Everything he had done to Akane, everything Akane had allowed him to do to her the night they made love lingered and Ranma couldn't look at her. He just couldn't. He was to disgusted with her to look her at all.

"What happened to Ranma?" Shampoo asked.

"He was split apart from his female half. We could explain everything later," Ryoga explained.

"Ranma in 2 halfs?" Shampoo asked as she scratched her head.

"Exactly," Ryoga said.
