Chapter 1 Part 2: Ranma's a girl! What's goin' on here?

The Tendo Furo 6:17 p.m. Nabiki's POV

Nabiki stared at Ranma, or at least who she thought was Ranma. The person standing there could have been his twin sister. She had a similar, if smaller, build as Ranma with flame red hair and, Nabiki couldn't help but notice, endowments that rivaled her own.

The girl was currently staring at a mirror in complete shock. There was a shampoo bottle sitting next to the anonymous package which had been opened. There were also two notes off to the side, one opened and one still sealed with the words 'read after use' written on the front.

She walked over and picked up the open one and quickly glanced over it. 'Take the chance to experience a magic few men have had the chance to enjoy!' Is how it read and she glanced at who she now was positive was Ranma. Experience a magic few men have had the chance to enjoy indeed. Nabiki thought with a rueful smile. I doubt many men would enjoy the experience at all. Whoever did this must have a twisted sense of humor and access to quite a bit of resources to find out where Ranma was headed. They must also have some kind of motive.

Nabiki reached out to pick up the other note but before she could Ranma snatched it up and ripped it open. Nabiki settled for reading over his... her shoulder.

Furo 6:15 p.m. Ranma's POV

Ranma proceeded to wash out his hair and stood up and immediately lost his balance and fell on his face. Wow, that was weird. I don't usually lose my balance like that. HE stood up carefully and noticed that he felt a little shorter and heavier in the chest. He also felt that something was missing and something else that wasn't supposed to be there was there in it's place.

Ranma's face paled when he saw that he now had breasts, genuine 100 real breasts. He reached down, praying that what had happened hadn't. He felt an emptiness , then felt something that a guy shouldn't be able to feel.

He ran over to look in the mirror. He went completely white with what he saw. He was no longer a he.

Ranma did the only thing she could think of, she screamed and fell into a deeper shock when she heard her voice, even that had changed, gaining a higher timbre and pitch.

Ranma simply stood there, frozen with shock at how much had been changed. She barely even noticed when Nabiki and Kasumi entered the room, didn't understand even a word they said.

She simply stared, refusing to accept that what had happened had actually happened.

This can't be real, it must be a dream! But I don't remember even relaxing enough to fall asleep, I would have known if I had. So it must be real. I am a girl now. Down to the very last detail except my mind, and I can even feel things changing there as well. As she thought that she felt her weight suddenly shift and her balance was restored. She could also feel several other things happen that she didn't even want to think about.

Having come out of her initial shock, she noticed that Nabiki had gone and read the note she had opened earlier. As Nabiki reached for the other note that he had not opened, a thought raced through her mind. Maybe it tells me how I can reverse it! Maybe this was just someones twisted idea of a joke.

Her hopes were thin but she clung to them. She snatched the note from the counter before Nabiki had even grabbed. Ignoring the shocked and surprised look on Nabiki's face, she tore the note open.

'So how do you like the curse Son in law? Now you will be able to join us instead of marrying shampoo, if it really scares you that much. Don't worry, the curse is just like the one your father received at Jusenkyo. As you should know by now hot water will reverse it but only temporarily, cold water will bring it about again.. This is the least troublesome way for you to join us, it need not be a permanent change. Consider yourself lucky, not many get off so easily, some we do lock into a curse. We'll be seeing you soon son in law!

Cologne'

Ranma's anger grew at each word she read. She was just barely aware of Nabiki and Kasumi reading over her shoulder. She crumpled the note up and then proceeded to rip it to shreds, cursing vehemently as she did.

"Damn those amazons and their friggng laws!" She yelled as she threw the paper down. She continued cursing and damning the amazons and their 'crazy' laws.

When she finally calmed down she slumped to the ground, exhausted by the day and her magical transformation and subsequent tirade.

Then she saw Nabiki and grew suddenly sad and deeply depressed. Oh kami! She must think I'm a freak now! A twisted, perverted, transexual freak! She finally broke down and began to cry. When she realized she was crying it depressed her even more. Boys aren't supposed to cry! But I can't help it! She started to cry even harder.

Furo 6:23 p.m. General POV

Nabiki watched as Ranma cried, trying to think of some way to cheer him.. her up. As Ranma worked herself into greater hysterics she did the only thing she could think of. She slapped her, hard.

Ranma was shocked out of her ever deepening spiral of depression and on a deep level she was grateful to Nabiki, but at the moment she was very angry. Why the heck did she hit me?

"What the hell did ya do that for, huh? That hurt!" She said as she rubbed the handprint that was quickly darkening to a bruise.

Nabiki was slightly put off by Ranma's obvious anger but rapidly put that behind her. After all, who wouldn't be angry when they got slapped by someone who they may have thought of as a friend.

"Stop being so mopey and depressed and get a hold of yourself! You're a man aren't you? So act like it!" She snapped, putting all the feeling into her words she could to get through to Ranma.

Ranma, hearing Nabiki call her a man, instantly perked up and puffed out her chest in pride, inadvertently displaying her ahem... gifts to greater effect. Though she felt it was wrong in some way. She doesn't think I'm a freak! She even still thinks of me as a man! Oh, thank Kami!

Nabiki, trying to ignore Ranma's breasts which she had pushed out and the feeling she was getting in her loins because of it, concentrated instead on her face. She soon found out that that was a mistake as she admired the fact that she was as beautiful as she was handsome in her boy form. Wonder how it would feel to... No! Can't think of that right now! Got to concentrate on Ranma's problems right now.

"Ranma, remember what the note said. It is reversible with hot water. So it isn't that bad. Just take your bath and you'll be good for the night. Don't worry, I'll think of a way that you can have access to hot water during the day. I'll give you some privacy while you change back." She got up and began to head to the door, Kasumi seemed to have left a while ago, presumably to go back to preparing the meal and watching over it so it wouldn't burn.

Ranma decided to act on an impulse and cried out before Nabiki left. "Nabiki!"

Nabiki turned around, wondering what else could be wrong.

"Do you think I'm a.. a.. f-freak? Do you.. do you h-hate me?" Ranma asked tremulously, dangerously close to tears.

Seeing this Nabiki grew slightly worried. Uh-oh, I hadn't thought of the psychological effects this would have. If I don't solve this quickly it may degrade into some kind of complex. But how to reassure her? Nabiki mused for a minute then smiled as an idea came to her. It's dangerous, but if it works then not only will I reassure her but I can also pursue the only honest way to enjoy my fault. Nabiki had always felt a longing for both guys and girls, making her a rare type of person, a bisexual. She had hidden the other side of her sexual preference for honor's sake and to keep from being blackmailed but now she had the perfect embodiment of both her preferences right before her.

She looked into Ranma's eyes and could see the fear and confusion. She decided to carry out her plan.

She walked up to Ranma and kneeled so she was face to face with her. She wrapped her in her embrace and kissed her full on the lips.

Ranma's eyes opened in shock and was unresponsive for a while. Then she began to respond as Nabiki's tongue explored her mouth. She felt thrills as her sensitive nipples rubbed against Nabiki's shirt and her loins began to grow hot and wet. Then she felt an intrusion and a surge of ecstasy enveloped her and she moaned aloud. It was more intense than Ranma had ever felt and it brought her back to what she was doing and she pulled away quickly, if somewhat reluctantly.

Seeing Nabiki's hurt and disappointed look, she looked down in shame. "Sorry, I'm just not ready for this. It's too strange. Just give me some time to get used to it, okay?" At first she thought Nabiki was going to be angry but then she smiled and nodded her understanding. She gave Ranma another hug and a quick peck on the cheek and stepped back and went to the door.

Before she left she turned to face Ranma again. "Ranma, you are not a freak. I could never hate you. Your curse is a gift to both you and me, treasure it don't reject it. I hope you will choose me as your fiance." With that said she left, giving Ranma the privacy she needed to change back to her male form.

They had both failed to notice someone spying on them while they had been committing their little tryst. Akane quickly hid as Nabiki left and closed the door behind her. She left her hiding spot and shook her head in bewilderment. I knew Nabiki liked the guys but the girls too? And who is that girl? I should warn her to stay away from Nabiki. This kind of behavior is unhealthy for them. Having firmed her intentions in her mind Akane went up to her room and began to do her homework, planning to tell the girl when she next saw her outside of her sister's hearing.

She had failed to notice that the clothes in the hamper had been Ranma's and had been out of hearing range when they had spoken.

Nabiki went up to her room to sort out her feelings for Ranma and find out whether or not her actions had been heartfelt or whether they had been spurred on by lust.

She thought on this for quite a while and by the time Kasumi called everyone for dinner she had decided it was a mix of both.

Furo 6:35p.m. Ranma's POV

Ranma sat in the steaming hot water, relaxing muscles he hadn't known he had tensed. Finally a guy again he could think straight without all the extra input of his female body, though he could still feel changes within his mind and he knew he would never be the same.

He thought over the implications of what he and Nabiki had done and what he had felt. What the hell was that? I never felt so emotional before! Must be the curse. She had kissed me though, when we were both girls! She had also began doing something else...

Ranma tore his thoughts away from that line of thinking and focused on the thoughts that Nabiki didn't hate him or think him a freak. Hell, she even said his curse was a gift and that she wanted to be his fiance! It was a dream come true and he thanked the almighty Kami profusely for such blessings to befall him in his time of need.

He soon began to doze away and splashed awake when Kasumi called everyone for dinner. Damn! How am I going to explain this to pops! He cursed lightly and decided to take things as they came.

He got out and dressed quickly. He got to the table only slightly behind his father and Nabiki. They all sat down and began to eat. Ranma ate at a normal pace and for once so did Genma. They also did not engage in their usual fight over food and so dinner went along without a hitch. When they were finished Ranma reached a decision to tell pops before he found out at a worse time.

"Hey pops. Could I talk to you in private?" Genma gave Ranma a curious glance and when he noticed his serious face he nodded and they excused themselves from the table and went a little ways away, out of hearing but not sight.

"What is it boy?" Ranma looked down for a moment, trying to gather his wits.

"Well, you see... I..." Just at that moment a glass flew out of Akane's hand and flew over Ranma, tipping it's contents of cold water and ice over him and shattering against the wall.

Ranma looked at her father who had somehow evaded the water. He was looking at Ranma as if she had grown a second head and began ranting madly. Ranma didn't blame him. He finally managed to speak. "H-how... did... what happened!"

Ranma sighed, feeling it was easier to speak about it when he already knew. "Well... you remember the amazons right? Remember how angry they had become when I refused to marry that girl?" Getting an affirmative nod to both she continued. "Well, guess they found a way around the kiss of marriage. They decided to send me a curse from Jusenkyo by disguising it as shampoo. They figured that now they could recruit me normally."

Seeing that his son was finished Genma let go of his control and promptly fainted along with soun. Both Nabiki and Kasumi sweatdropped at their father and Uncle's over exaggerated reactions.

It was then that Akane finally noticed who it was that was standing there and who it really was. As the implications of the scene she had witnessed hit her she grew instantly furious at the redhead. She stalked up to Ranma and looked her up and down to confirm it was really her.

When she was sure her fury grew to the blowout point and she screamed a battle cry. "Y-you! RANMA NO BAKA!" Was the last thing Ranma heard as a large and very heavy mallet hit her for the second time that day and she was plunged into darkness once again.
