Disclaimer: I do not own TM or Ranma; if I did, I might actually have enough money to drink tonight. I am well aware of how atrocious my spelling Is, I have spell check and I use it. Blame Microsoft works for it, because that is what I do. Anyway thanks for the reviews. Oh and in this AU Nabiki thinks that she is relayed to Happossi.

Oh and for further notice all thoughts are now like this, got it, great, enjoy.

Chapter 3--------------------------

-------------------On a recently made path in a forest In Japan----------

Cologne was not a happy camper currently she was royally ticked. with a snort she asked, "great grand daughter, tell me once more why you would trust Mr. part time to actually give you a useful potion that would bring son In law to you?"

Shampoo was in a quandary, she dId not want to admit that she allowed herself to be tricked by a mere lowly male. Realizing that lying about it would probably make matters worse she replied, "great-grandmother, as you must have noticed Mousse and I have been getting along for the past few days. He told me that, he still would love me but he realized that Airen and I were meant to be together. I dId not believe him at first but after a few days, I thought that he was telling the truth. Then he offered me the potIon, if I would have known that we would have to capture Airen fIrst then I would have done so."

Mousse trotted behind sullenly, he was currently on borrowed tIme. The old mummy had informed hIm that once they find her precious son in law that he would be on the receiving end of the cats tongue pressure point. His only redeeming feature is that even In Ranma's current condition he was still too powerful for Shampoo and the mummy to handle alone. Especially if Ranma goes Into the Neko Ken. WIth a sigh he thought, "I don't want to be a duck for the rest of my life. Maybe I should walk away. If I do then there is no going back. My only problem is the old mummy would stIll probably hit me wIth that pressure poInt. She is just excessively fast for me. I think I just need to bide my tIme and make a brake for It once we find Saotome. Oh my darling Shampoo why must it be thIs way, If only you could have seen how much I love you thIs would of never happened."

Cologne notIced Mousse fall back slightly and cackled out, "Mr. Part tIme hurry up or I will make sure you are a duck even sooner than what I said earlier. As for you great granddaughter, It Is Imperative that we recover son-In law fIrst. The potIon you used can only be used once every ten years. Each tIme It Is used on the same person, it brings about a greater level of Insanity, making it more difficult for the person to break free from its grasp.

"Great-grandmother I thought that you said something about it wearing off in two weeks?"

"Shampoo, it doesn't exactly wear off. It will mentally break your Airen. The reason we need to find him is that once the potion is applied the person whom is to control him must be present and practicing the mental disciplines of the soul of ice. We are just lucky that no one else around here know our Amazon techniques."

Shampoo sighed worriedly and said, "But elder I have not yet leaned the soul of ice."

Cologne sighed and said, "Child, all amazons are taught the basis of the technique." Pausing for a minute she continued, "What is the primary rule for going into battle as an Amazon?"

Shampoo wrinkled her brow in concentration and replied, "An Amazon must never show concern or fear in face of the enemy, and as fellow warriors fall they are met with nothing more than a neutral gaze. To give any reaction would make us weak in the eyes of the enemy. Great-grandmother, I still do not understand."

Cologne felt like smacking around her heir for her stupidity but refrained instead. With a frustrated sigh she said, "Child are you so dense that you do not see that the primary rule is the first step of learning the soul of ice? Oh sure there are a few different ways to learn it but the primary rule was the first. Come now we need to hurry, there is no telling how far son-in-law was able to get."

As the trio of amazons stalked off two bodies seemed to materialize out of nowhere. At the same time they both said, "This is not good we must inform the master."

The man with glasses growled out, "Stupid amazons, trust them to throw a wrench in our plans

-------------------------------------Washu's Lab-----

Washu was pacing in the medical wing of her lab; she was currently trying to think of a solution to help the hysterical young girl that had just arrived about ten hours ago. She thought, "Alright, this girl has been drugged, she has Immense strength and power, she seems to be terrified of everyone except for that girl named Nabiki, because of what happened last night I can not risk that girl going In there until I have a better handle on things. according to the girls mother she Is not really a girl but a boy cursed to be a girl whenever he gets hit with cold water, and to top It all off because of the girls injured state and fluctuating power I can't even get close to help the child even though she Is unconscious. Think, Think Washu, I am the greatest scientific mind In the Universe. There has to be away for me to treat her. I cannot put her in a rejunification tank because it will not handle the stress of her stength. I cannot even get close enough to bandage the girl's injuries. I do not even know the extent of the girl's Injuries because the girl's power spikes destroy any equipment I try to use on her. I could try to sedate her, bringing her into a deeper state of unconsciousness, but that mIght kill her because I don't know what she was drugged wIth or the total effects of the drug." WIth a frustrated sigh, she kicked a table holding various test tubes and beakers, causing some of them to spill over and mix. Crying out in pain, she held her foot and watched some of the chemicals mix causing a rather foul smelling gas to form. WIth a triumphant shout of, "Ha, there is no problem, that I Washu, the universes greatest scientific genius can't solve." She pulled out her trusty laptop and started to type away.

--------------------------In the house----

Nabiki groaned as the world slowly came into focus. Muttering, "What the hell happened." She started to sit up and look at her surroundings. The fIrst thing she notIced was that she was in a bed that was not her own. Looking around the room, she saw pictures of a few people that she recognized from the night before. GettIng up she winced as the world started to fuzz out. Putting her hand to her head, she notIced that it was wrapped in a bandage. Cradling her head wIth her hands, she patiently waited for the room to stop spinning, while she concentrated on what happened the night before.

--------Flashback-----

As her world went black, Nabiki started to get a nautous feeling. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes to find out that she was no longer outside. Examining her surroundings, she notIced that she was in a large grey colored room that seemed to have no ceiling windows or doors. Frowning as the waves of vertigo left her, she notIced that ranma was no longer on her lap. She called out, "Ranma where are you?" Slowly gettIng up off the floor Nabiki turned around and saw Ranma huddled in the corner wIth a blue glow encompassing her. Still feeling the effects from whatever had just happened Nabiki stumbled her way over to Ranma. As she got close she nervously called out, "Ranma Its okay I am here with you."

Immediately Ranma's head jerked up, as her eyes started to glow an eerie bright blue color. Seeing Ranma's reaction Nabiki hesitated as her nervousness increased. Trying to clam herself Nabiki said, "Ranma It's me Nabiki, remember. Calm down I am not going to hurt you."

As Nabiki closed in on Ranma's position, she noticed two things. First Ranma was muttering as she rocked back and forth. Secondly, she was shaking as her aura flared into a kaleidoscope of colors. Deciding that she needed to be firm she ordered, "Ranma, I said calm down. I am here and no one is goIng to hurt you." Nabiki then cautiously reached out to Ranma.

Ranma as she was sitting there in the corner at fIrst dId not notIce Nabiki gettIng closer to her. Caught up in her own internal struggle to regain control of herself she failed to notice Nabiki calling out to her. FeelIng contact on her shoulder, she tried to focus her vision. At fIrst, she thought she saw Nabiki, but almost immediately, a giant tentacle monster replaced the Image. Letting out a scream of agony, she felt all remaining control on her aura burst free.

As Nabiki reached forward and settled her hand on Ranma's shoulder, she started to get scared. The look In Ranma's eyes no longer looked sane or even remotely human. As she flinched in fright, she heard Ranma let out a tremendous scream. Her eyes widening in shock she watched as Ranma's Aura rapidly Increased In size and slammed into her.

--------------Present-

Nabiki shook her head and muttered, "I can't believe Ranma hurt me." Thinking for a minute, she thought to herself, "No that was not Ranma's fault. He would never strike a woman lIke that. ThIs is the fault of those dam amazons. I swear I will get back at them for this. They had just better pray that Ranma could make a recovery. This is not fair, dam Genma for his greedy stomach, dam Ranma for being so frickin good at fighting, dam amazons with their stupid laws, and dam me for not keeping the engagement when Akane transferred it to me." Burying her head in her arms, she started to cry softly.

-------------------Downstairs ten minutes ago-

Katshuhito was sitting at the kitchen table calmly drinking tea. However internally he was anything but calm. He knew ten chi's aunt and cousin were dead; he had pulled them out of a fire almost fifteen years ago. He had cream mated their bodies and placed their remains inside the shrine personally. His eyes and senses were telling him a different story though. He could feel a large amount of juriinian energy hidden in the woman claiming to be Nodoka. In addition, by looking at the girl's aura, he could tell that she really was a he and the boy had a massive amount of Jurianian energy. Frowning he thought, "there has to be a plausible explanation for this. Perhaps they are clones sent to bring us into a false sense of security. But I cannot sense any malicious thought from the woman. Hopefully Washu will be able to shed some light on this." Looking around the table he saw the woman Nodoka, Ryoko, and Tenchi sitting around the table with him in silence each caught up in their own musings.

Tenchi was confused, first a girl who was obviously under the influence of some type of drug crawled her way to the shrine. Then her mother and a friend show up saying that the girl was a boy. After the scene outside calmed down Ryoko had to be healed because this girl had managed to put a rather large gash in her midsection. Thinking about that for a moment, "Ryoko had said later that the only reason that she did not attack the girl back is because of Washu telepathically telling her not to."

Ryoko was not in a good mood, she had just received an update status on Sasami from ryo-oki. Last night after the excitement had died down they had found Sasami sleeping on the couch. Normally there would be no problem with that, it usually meant that she was contacting Tsunami. However, after an hour they had started to worry, after a few more they were anxious. Sasami was one of the few that never brought up her past with the intent to cause her intentional pain. Moreover, here she was unable to do anything to help, with Ayeka taking Sasami up to her room and remaining there ever since, there was little to do but wait. (I know they might seem out of character but, 1 my fic and 2 I only have seen the show a handful of times when it was on cartoon network after dragon ball z that was 6 years ago I think. oh yeah also from other fics)

Nodoka sat silently, fighting an internal battle against her thinking, "Ranma is my son, it does not matter what his father did to him. But seeing Ranma like that makes me think that he is unmanly and that I should ask for his death." Internally shaking her head to clear her thoughts she continued, "What kind of crap is that, he is my son how can I even think about asking him to do that. He must be manly how else could he of survived the treatment that Nabiki described." It was then that she started to debate within her own mind.

"Nabiki is lying, Genma would never do such things, he is an honorable man."

"If he was so honorable why did he hide your son from me?"

"Your son could have revealed himself to you instead of hiding it. It just shows you how unmanly your son or should I say daughter is."

"But if even a third of the stuff that Nabiki said was true then surely Ranma must be extremely manly."

"How can your son be manly with a body like that?"

"Nabiki assured me that he was manly no matter the form and I trust her."

"How can you trust her when she has been lying to you for a few months now? After all this would not be the first time, she lied. How many times did she tell you your son was out on a training trip when he was hiding right next to you?"

"I trust her; she swore on her honor that Ranma was manly. I don't even understand why I keep getting hung up on my sons manliness, especially since the day of the samurai ended long ago."

"You are hung up on manliness because your son swore on his honor that he would return to you a man amongst men."

"My son was only five years old, he barely knew what honor was and how could he even know what a man amongst men was supposed to mean? Besides Genma wrote the letter Ranma put various handprints on it, he probably thought that he was finger painting."

"It does not matter who wrote it. Genma is honorable enough to ensure that Ranma understood it."

"How can you say that, Genma sounds like a monster? Honestly, who would throw their son in a pit of staving cats? Who would tie their child to the back of a train? He was the adult in charge of Ranma's training if any one is to blame then it should rest squarely on Genma's shoulders."

"What kind of wife are you, for shame, to dishonor your husband so. You must order your sons death that is the only way to restore his honor. It is your sons fault, not Genma's. Besides you are saving your son a life of misery, with him being some type of side show freak."

Getting agitated with herself she internally shouted, "MY SON IS NO FREAK, I WILL NOT ORDER HIS DEATH, I DOBN'T CARE IF HE BECOMES A SHE. HONOR, FEH, I WILL KILL MY SON."AT THE SAME TIME Nodoka sat upright and shouted, "I WILL NOT KILL MY OWN SON."

---------------Back in Washu's lab-----

Washu cackled gleefully. She had just managed to create special nanities that traveled like a cloud of gas. This allowed her to do several things. She was finally able to stabilize the girl Ranma's condition. Then she was able to sedate the young girl. After doing that, she was finally able to move her to an actual table rather than the pocket dimension that she was in before. Now that she had the situation under control, she decided to test out this so-called curse.

After checking and making sure that, the nanities were still feeding her constant readings on her subject she decided to pour some hot water on the busty girl. To say she was shocked was an understatement; she had seen many things in her twenty thousand plus years existence. However, for one to simply change sex with the application of regular water was unheard of. Especially when the person who changed had nothing in their DNA to warrant a change like that.

Swearing aloud Washu blinked she thought, "I just can't believe this. That really attractive girl just turned in to this extremely hunky man. I do not have time for this, I need to find out what is happening to her I mean him whatever. This can wait until later."

She started to type away on her computer again, directing the nanities to perform a deep level scan of the boy's DNA, cell structure, nervous system and brain. She was looking for any discrepticies in the young man's system.

After a few minutes of reading several scan results Washu was getting frustrated again. All the results came back telling her that only natural non-lethal plants and herbs were present in Ranma's body. Despite it being non-lethal, it was attacking spasific areas of the brain. This caused the dillusions and panic attacks, as well as being responsible for Ranma's current lack of control. According to her readings the drug should dissapate after two weeks, the problem with that is that certain areas of the brain would be destroyed by then. What she needed to do was find a counter agent and figure out a way for somebody to be close enough to him to assist in leading him out of the madness.

With a frustrated growl, Washu set up a program to check and simulate possible counter agents while she went over and reviewed the DNA tests.

While checking the DNA results to see if the curse had detrimental effects, Washu let out a gasp, she said to herself, "Well Ranma it seems you are part Jurianian, more specifically a quarter." At that moment, another computer started to beep, whining for attention.

Pulling that computers information over to her current workstation Washu gasped out, "Yosho, you sly dog you." After finishing with what she was doing, she decided that there was nothing more left to do but wait for the rest of the test results to come in. After checking her patient briefly to make sure that he was securely strapped down, she left her lab to see about getting a snack.

---------Upstairs with Nabiki----

Hearing Nodoka's shout Nabiki jerked up off of the bed and rushed to where she heard the shout emanating from."

Katshuhito was brought out of his musings by Nodoka's shout, focusing on her he started to see blood coming out from her ears. As he went to her aid, she started to go into seizures. He called out, "Ryoko go get Washu, Tenchi once I lay her down on the ground take off your belt and fold it in half and put it in her mouth. Quickly now.

Nabiki arrived in this room at this time and gasped out, "what the hell are you doing to her?"

Tenchi was worried and Nabiki's question caught him off guard, so he instantly replied, "we didn't do anything, she just started having a seizure."

Yosho asked, "Do you know if she gets these often?"

Nabiki stared at the people numbly and responded in a vacant tone, "No Masaki-san, as far as I know this is the fist time. However I really don't know her that well, nor can I tell you who her doctor is."

By this time, Nodoka's seizure had stopped and Washu had entered the room. Looking down at her newest patient who was unconscious she said, "everyone stand back I am going to have Ryoko teleport her to the lab."

As that was finished, Washu went over to Katshuhito and started to talk quietly to him. Nabiki never one to miss an opportunity to gain free information, casually walked over to ease drop.

Yosho asked, "are you sure he is Jurainian?"

"I am 100 percent positive, but there is more than that."

"What else is there?"

"Apparently he is Tenchi's cousin and your Grandson or granddaughter depending on the form."

"That's not possible; I pulled my daughter and grandsons dead bodies out of a fire over twelve years ago."

"Well I am telling you that that boy in my lab is your grandson, and I would bet that that woman is your daughter. I was not here when the fire happened but is it possible that the bodies you pulled out were clones.

"Washu-chan I do not see how, this planet does not have the technology needed to make human clones, and my tree would of told me if their were other aliens around."

At this time Nabiki decided to interrupt, the remark about clones had gotten her thinking about a misadventure a few months involving Ranma. Clearing her throat she said, "Excuse me, but even though we lack the technology to make clones there are other ways."

Washu was irritated this girl thought that there were other ways to clone other than with technology. With a scoff she asked, "Yeah how's that."

After hearing the short redheads reply put her game face on and said, "Well believe it or not, magic." holding up her hand to silence the peanut gallery she continued, "Some time ago Ranma came across what he thought was a cure for his curse. The item looked like an antique mirror, when he used it a clone of his female side came out of it. Now that's just one item, there is no telling what else grandfather Happossi or the Amazons have in their possession."

The moment Nabiki mentioned Happossi and the Amazons his face started to turn red. After cursing to himself he said, "how can you be related to Happossi, he never had any children, he can't."

Nabiki asked, "What do you mean he can't, according to my father Happossi is my grandfather."

Yosho replied, "It is difficult to explain but my ancestor battled with him around 300 years ago. The end result of the battle left Happossi unable to father children." Suddenly he paled and walked backwards to plop into a chair continuing he said in a near whisper, "He told me that he would have his revenge. After awhile I had thought that he died so I went on with my life. My carelessness cost me my eldest daughter for many years as well as my grandson's sanity."

As Katshuhito sat in the chair, Tenchi watched, when he heard what his grandfather said he became royally ticked. This person Happossi was responsible for this somehow. As he walked towards his grandfather, he swore to himself that his family would be avenged.

As Ryoko teleported back into the room everyone heard a noise coming from the steps. As they turned, they saw Sasami being supported by Ayeka.

With a presence beyond compare Sasami said, "Bring me and Nabiki to Ranma and his mother."
