Disclaimer: Hoenstly, if you thought I actually owned Dragonball Z, I suggest you

seek professional psychological assistance immediately. Also, I do not own Fruits

Basket, nor do I claim having any participation in the making of the plot, which I

have evidentally borrowed for the story you are about to read.

Author's Note: I have never seen Fruits Basket, and have no knowledge of any

particulars of the anime. Forgive me if I have made an incorrect reference, but I

belive I am right when I say the plot to Fruits Basket which I have borrowed is how

the members of a certain family turn into animals when hugged by a person of the

opposite gender. This could prove some hilarious moments, if applied to Dragonball

Z. I have also mixed this family curse buisness with the Ranma 1/2 curse, having

used hot water as an 'antidote'.

Chapter One: The Transferred Curse

"Fa la la..." Goku skipped through the woods that were near his house. It was

a clear and bright day, and, to him, a perfect day to pick wildberries. But then! He

stumbled upon a pond. Not just any pond, though. Of course, Goku did not know

that this was the Magic Spring of Ranma-Tohru.

"I'm thirsty...I guess I can fill up my water bottle here! It looks clean enogh!"

Goku said, twisting the lid off a canteen decorated with Pochacco stickers. He dipped

the lidless container into the water, filling it with the clear sparkling water. Before

putting the lid back on, he dumped a mouthful into his open maw.

"Mm, that water has more flavor than normal water does!" Goku wiped his

face, having spilt the water everywhere when he'd drunken it.

"You have tasted the water of the Ranma-Tohru Spring, now you must pay!

You shall receive the curse of another family, and shall bear it for the rest of your

life!" A loud voice came from the sky, and shook the forest around him.

"What?!" Goku looked around, seeking the speaker.

"You won't find me, I'm invisible." The voice explained.

"What curse are you talking about?"

"You and your family, as well as your friends, will be cursed. You will all turn

into different animals when hugged by a member of the opposite gender."

"Is there any way to reverse the curse? Or remove it?" Goku asked.

"No, you cannot remove it. But, you can be transformed back to your normal

state when touching hot water. That is all I have to say. Tell no one where the

Spring of Ranma-Tohru is, or you shall be doomed to an eternity of washing dishes

in the back kitchen of a restaurant not comminly visited." The voice warned.

"Oh. Okay!" Goku ran off in pure stupidity, not having anything else to say to

the voice after finding out he'd just cursed his family and friends. He was somewhat

intelligent enough to rid himself of the rest of the water in his Pochacco water

bottle, though.

"I wonder how Chi-Chi will take this? And lets see...who else will have the

curse? All of my family and friends? Thats a LOT of people!" Goku talked to himself

while heading home to tell Chi-Chi, Gohan, and Goten what had happened over

dinner.

---

What will Goku's family's reaction to the news of the curse be? And what about

Goku's friends? There are so many of them, how will he tell them all before they

find out themselves?! Will he remember the reverse to the curse when he needs it,

or will he apply his normal self and forget instantly, leaving many to either

completely avoid the opposite gender or be an animal forever?
