Slay Ranma by Lioconvoy

Legal Stuff: For the most part none of the characters are mine; the characters of Ranma ½, Sailor Moon, Slayers, and others belong to their respective creators.

Other Stuff from the Author: The idea for this story came to me after reading Carrotglace's "Sailor Ranmoon Vol. 1", and sailor pluto rok's "If Akane was a sailor scout"

Chapter Two: Meeting the family

While he was looking for Akane and Ryoga, Ranma's mind was focused on what was going to happen to Ryoga now. Lina said his transformation was permanent. Many times he had wondered what he would do if he was ever stuck female. What would he tell his mother if that happened? Speaking of his mother, it seemed she caught sight of him, and was coming his way. His first instinct was to run, but then again he was in his male form. Maybe it was time to talk to her.

"Excuse my young man, are you busy right now?" Nodoka said eyeing the young man in front of her.

"Am I busy?" After the conclusions of the recent Ryu Kumon incident he thought she go back to asking random young men if they were her son. But she just asked if he was busy?

"Yes, you see my family is getting together for the "Passing of the Sword" ceremony and I'm not quite ready to introduce them to my former son." Nodoka sighed. She was tempted to visit the Tendo home and grab her son turned daughter, but this young man could pass as he son very well. He looked allot like her younger brother, he'd surely fool her parents.

Ranma tilted his head; he wasn't sure what was going on. "Former son?"

Grabbing the young man by the arm Nodoka started dragging him along to her family home. "Yes apparently he had gender re-assignment surgery. His father turned himself into a panda. Genma must have been desperate to escape from a dept. I honestly don't mind it, I just want my child back, but I guess she's too afraid to admit who she is to me. I had hoped she say something when I took in that fake a bit ago, but she's as stubborn as her father."

Ranma's face went blank, what in the world did his mother think of him.

Ryoga was sure she left her pack in this lot. Like the voice said she didn't get lost anymore.

"Ryoga, are you sure you left your pack here?" Akane asked looking around the empty lot. "I mean there are a lot of empty lots in Nerima."

"Yes it was here; look you can tell the grass over there was flattened recently. That's where my tent was last night." Ryoga remember waking up this morning. She had completed packing her tent and putting everything in her pack before she noticed the change. How she missed her chest had extra weight to it was beyond her, only the fact she couldn't lift her pack, let alone her umbrella, allowed her to see past her early morning anger to the transformation.

"Do you think someone took it?" Akane noticed Ryoga wasn't depressed but seemed truly sad. What did Ranma do to her?

"Akane, besides you only Ranma could lift my bag, and you sent him flying in the opposite direction." Did the voice take her bag? She must be aligned with Ranma somehow.

"Shampoo or Mousse could probably lift it too, or even Cologne for that matter." The pack was heavy, but the Amazons were all pretty strong.

"I told you not to turn down that street. You see, you should have listened."

Ryoga and Akane turned to see an old demented monk.

Ranma had remained silent as he let his mother lead him. He honestly didn't know what to say. Not after what she had been telling him about how she viewed him. She was right that Ranko was her son, but that he had some sort of surgery to become her?

"Here we are the Aino family home. Remember you're Ranma Saotome and you've just came back from a training journey with your father." Nodoka was sure this boy would play the part well. He had the same vacant expression as her husband.

"Aino?" Ranma asked following his mother.

"Yes my maiden name was Aino Nodoka. I'm the middle child of three. I have an older sister Haruna, whose daughter is Minako, and I have a younger brother who my son was named after. Ranma has a son of his own named Kaoru." This information was important for her accomplice to know, so she didn't mind sharing it.

"I was named after your brother?" Ranma mentally hit himself. Maybe she would think he meant that in character. He wasn't sure she should know he really was her son yet. He really wasn't sure how to explain his curse.

"Yes, at the time I had though he was a shining example of what a man should be. I didn't find out about his habit until he started passing it on to his son." As she entered the gate to the estate she caught site of her brother and his son.

Ranma saw two young women dressed as his mother and assumed that these two must be his aunt and her daughter. The older woman had black hair worn down and the same blue eyes as his mother, her daughter had red hair in a braid longer then he wore his. Both women were flat-chested.

"Hello brother, you're looking well." Nodoka smiled.

Ranma proceeded to fall face first into the ground.

Akane and Ryoga were lead by the monk to where he said he had taken Ryoga's belongings. Akane wondered how such a small man could carry so much, but she kept quiet. He definitely didn't seem like a martial artist though.

Ryoga was used to quiet, but she didn't like it when she actually had company. Now that she was a weak little girl, was this kind of quiet going be normal. With all her strength sapped away, it would be quite some time before she was strong enough to travel, in the mean time what would she do.

"You bandana girl, what is your name?" Sakuranbou said breaking the silence, there were things he needed to discuss with this poor soul, and although he'd prefer to do it in the company of his grandson, it might be best to get it out of the way now.

"Hibiki Ryoga. Why?" Why did this monk need to know her name? What did it matter, once she got her pack she'd go back with Akane to the Tendo Dojo.

"Hmm, that won't do. Ryoga isn't a name for a girl." The monk frowned, and then started thinking of other names that may suit the newly made girl.

"I AM NOT A GIRL!"

"Yes you are, they may not be that big, but they're still very nice." Sakuranbou said this while his face was buried in Ryoga's chest.

Akane watched as Ryoga's face went red with anger. If not for the fact that this pervert knew where her pack was she'd let him die, but since they need him, Akane pulled him off of Ryoga's chest. "Just what do you think you are doing?"

"This young woman needs to be reminded what her bad karma has wrought her. If she does not accept it she cannot move on with her life." Although his face was very serious the monk smiled inwardly at just how much his position let him get away with.

Ranma woke up finding himself in an unfamiliar room. Herself. When did she become a girl. Then some hot water was splashed on her and she was a he again. Sitting over him was an old woman dressed as his mother. Or at least he hoped it was an old woman. Finally meeting his mother's side of the family was definitely not what he thought it would be. "What was that for?"

"Ahh, you're awake. Sorry Minako shared Nodoka's theory about you getting a sex change. My husband suggested we try seeing if there was a more rational explanation to her son now being a daughter when she visited her." The Aino Matriarch looked over the young man over once more. He definitely resembled her own son when he was younger. And his curse form resemble all the young ladies of the family. A bit more endowed than most. That was likely Jusenkyo's handy work.

"Jusenkyo is more rational? Wait you know about Jusenkyo?" Maybe this was more likely his grandmother. His mom said only her brother and son weren't as manly as she thought they were. Still he was shocked to know she knew about the curse springs.

"Oh yes, if you had been Haruna's oldest child you would have been brought to Jusenkyo and placed in that very same spring, then your curse would be locked using the family seal. It's a Tradition I'd rather not have continue but my eldest sadly sees it's merits. I myself was born male and forced to live the life of a woman. I was fortunate that I wasn't forced to love someone new. My first and only love became a man for me and took up the family seal to solidify his love for me." Quite the look of shock on Ranma's face. Oh she hadn't actually confirmed this was he long missing grandson. While at this point it was very likely, it was still possible he wasn't. "You are actually Ranma?"

"Yeah, but I don't think Mom actually knows that. She doesn't know about Jusenkyo, does she I mean if she did why the weird theory."

"It's something normally only known family matriarch or their successor. Nodoka is my second child so there was no reason for her to know. However, it is now something I think all my children need to know of." To think Nodoka had such a crazy explanation in place of the simple one just because she didn't know the simple one existed. Still he middle child did know of magic so why an operation and not a curse? Well that was a matter for later. "They're waiting for us downstairs. I will tell Nodoka who you are after the ceremony, so her reaction doesn't upset it."

Lina had been following Ryoga, Akane, and the priest that had taken Ryoga's backpack. The priest seemed familiar. He was obviously very old, but perhaps when he was younger she knew him. They eventually ended up at a Shinto Shrine. This shrine...the old priest was Cherry. She actually felt a little sorry for the form lost boy. Still Ryoga deserved what she believed would happen. Images of Ryoga in the uniform of a priestess popped into her head.

"Grandson!" Sakuranbou called out into the shrine.

"Ahh grandfather, who are these young ladies?"

Akane looked at the priest who had just exited the shrine. He was a young man with black hair in a short pony-tail, and purple eyes. Although the purple eyes were odd, altogether he was cute. He was also a bit familiar. Wait, he had been one of Kasumi's friends in High School, what was his name though.

"Miroku the long haired lady is the owner to the backpack and umbrella, and the short haired one is her friend." The monk smiled.

"I thought you said the owner of the items we found this morning was a young man?" Miroku walked over to Ryoga and then patted her butt. "I don't see how you could confuse her for a boy."

Ryoga's face went red with anger and she closed her eyes. First the monk planted his face in her chest and now this priest touched her behind. Her backpack was here, she could kill these two now. If they were still standing in front of her that is. As she opened her eyes she noticed Akane had already sent them flying via Mallet Express.

"Let's get your stuff and go home." Akane said this as her mallet disappeared.

"One of these days I'll figure out where you put that."

Akane and Ryoga turned around to see a black cat. Ryoga recognized the voice as Lina Inverse, the one responsible for her current state. "You're a talking cat?"

"Yes, although that I can rightfully blame on Ranma's ancestors. You however have nothing to blame on Ranma anymore since the Jusenkyo curse he gave you is gone." Lina noticed the blank face on Akane as she approached the two.

"Ryoga had a Jusenkyo curse?" As Akane thought about this she remembered that Ryoga always disappeared around cold water, but what was his curse? Then something else hit her. A cat was talking to her. "Your name isn't Luna is it? I am going to be a Sailor Senshi!?"

Ryoga's eyes went wide. Sailor Senshi? He had seen a few episodes cradled in Akane's arms as P-chan. Those were the girls in short skirt with stupid speeches that fought evil. Maybe the only thing Ryoga would ever agree with Ranma on was that the show was idiotic. "You said Ranma, Akane, and I are your champions, we're not going to be Senshi are we?"

"First Akane, I am Lina Inverse. I am an immortal Sorceress whose duty is protect this world from Shabranigdo, a being of great evil power. However my immortality cost me my form so I am trapped as a cat. Ryoga, you three will be Senshi. I could have found another way to bestow powers to my champion's but this was the most amusing."

Akane jumped for joy, she was going to be a beautiful sailor suited warrior of love and Justice. Obviously she was going to be Sailor Mercury, out of the names mentioned she was the most intelligent. Then something entered her head. "Ranma's half girl, but why did you choose Ryoga?"

"I didn't mean to, she got in the way of an orb meant for someone else. For now the three of you will do though. I don't want Moregan being able to adapt to her foe." Lina felt something. They were back. "I will speak more about this later."

Ryoga watched the cat take off. She said she like to see Ranma suffer, so why couldn't she fix him so she could pound Ranma. As she was now her blows didn't even phase Ranma one bit. Also why did she make it so Ranma wasn't locked in his curse form? She'd sort this out when she got back to the Tendo's. "Let's get my bag."

"Leaving so soon?" Sakuranbou watched Lina take off. Had she delayed the girls on purpose? These girls must be her new champions. All the more reason to keep an eye on the former boy. "You know it's possible I will be able to do something about your predicament. The two of you should stay a bit longer."

The monk and the priest; how the heck did they get back her so quickly. It normally took Ranma forever to return from a mallet trip. "Do you really think you can help Ryoga?"

"Ryoga's curse has been cause by bad Karma. I believe it's possible to reverse it if we improve upon the state of her karma." As Miroku said this he patted Ryoga's behind again. "However, it would be a waste. You're a very cute young lady."

Sakuranbou watched as his grandson was sent flying once more by the short haired girl's mallet. "You know my grandson meant what he said. It wasn't an excuse to fondle your friend."

"I have a feeling he would of done it anyway." If this perverted duo did have a way to turn Ryoga back maybe it was worth listening to them, but Akane was going to keep her mallet out just in case.

"Let's go inside while we wait for my grandson." The monk sighed.

Lio's Corner:

-Well I got a bit of an idea going so I thought I'd write it out right away. Sorry for the lack of action, I'm not ready for that yet.

-After a bit of research the events of this story take place after Ranma's encounter with Ryu Kumon. Nodoka hadn't found out about Ranma's curse yet.

-Innortal and Emma Iveli: This chapter should have answered that question.

-RubberNeck: Ryoga's transformation is permanent, but it's not a curse. Nodoka's family is descended from Sylphiel and Gourry.

-tatsu: No Happosai in this story, if I do a sequel then where he's been and why he was absent will be explained. Right now I have plans to end the story after Moregan is stopped. I have a few ideas for the sequel that include Happy, but whether or not I get to them is another matter.

Update:

- 04-5-21 I changed the scene with Ranma and his grandmother. Some other minor changes.
