1Last Time

The others all agree and go off to sleep in their rooms. Ranma meanwhile feel asleep on the couch. Mousse feel asleep on the couch next to hers. Nodaka couldn't help but think that was cute but was kept from taking a picture by Genma and she and he went into the spare room that Genma was using for some sleep. Well soun hoped that was what they were doing when he saw them both enter the room together. He wet into his own room afterwards and feel sleep. Akane was in her room asleep while Nabiki was on her computer looking to see if Ranma left her any e-mails. Once she found none she closed down her computer and went to bed. It was just a too taxing night and she wanted some rest.

Now

The next day Nabiki, Akane, Mousse, Happosai, Nodaka, Kasumi & Dr.Tofu were talking with each other about the day before. Kasumi filled in what Dr.Tofu missed the day before while Nodaka explains what happened on the trip.

"Wait a minute. What type of magic did you use on Ranma Mousse?" asked Happosai.

Mousse thinks about it and decides to pull out the scroll that described what was needed for the spell and what it would do. Happosai takes the scroll fro him and says, "You made sure you used the correct crystals when you ground them up correct?"

Mousse nods his head and pulls out a non ground up crystal to show Happosai what he used. Happosai studies the crystal carefully for about 5 minutes before his eyes widened as he said, "You used the wrong one Mousse! This one increases the effects of Jusenkeyo and causes them to reach their final stage much quicker."

"What do you mean by their final stage Grandfather?" asked Kasumi.

Then out of no where Cologne came in and said, "The Jusenkeyo curses final stage causes one to become stuck in either their birth form or cursed form. It depends on what form the victim is in when the curse enters it. One would know because the victim would become incased in a cocoon for some reason. Anyway inside the cocoon the cursed victim will become in a way cured of the curse but the would also be changed for ever."

"Why would they be changed for ever?" asked Nabiki while looking skeptical...and also making sure her coffee wasn't poisoned and that Shampoo wasn't behind her ready to strange her.

Happosai decided to cut in by saying, "Well in Ranma's case, if it were to happen soon then she would become pregnant with her birth form and be stuck as a girl forever. But if Ranma was in her male form then most likely her cursed form will become a twin sister for her. I believe that is what happens. Am I correct Cologne?"

"Yes happy you are. It is a sad day that we will not be able to have Ranma join our tribe." Cologne responded.

"But elder Ranma is already related to an Amazon by blood. She is Mousse's cousin." Nodaka replies happily.

Shampoo falls from the ceiling breaking the floor and says, "What! Ranma is Mousse's cousin? But how?"

Nodaka smiles and says, "Mousse is my nephew. My brother is his father."

Cologne smiles and says, "So that's why I always thought you looked like someone I knew. You are Yoshohero's younger sister correct?"

Nodaka smiles and says, "That is right. How is my brother doing anyway?"

Cologne lowered her head and said, "He died protecting the village. He is the only male that all of the elders respected. That is why we allowed Mousse to learn to fight. We didn't want him to not know a thing about his father."

Nodaka looks sad and at Mousse while Mousse says, "He died before I was born...so I never got to know him."

Nodaka then hugs Mousse while crying her self at the loss of the brother and doing the family thing to try to comfort Mousse from his slightly sad state of mind.

Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi don't say a word knowing too well how it felt to lose a loved one.

Meanwhile Happosai and Cologne goes into the near by room to see if Ranma was still sleeping on the couch. Cologne was just following Happosai now because she was bored and once Happosai darted off up the stairs she did too until they came to Ranma's room. They open the door just to see a giant cocoon where Ranma should be and a Panda trying to crack it open. The grab the said panda and drag him downstairs. They all then looks towards the others and said, "It looks like Ranma will be Ranko for the rest of her life."

They all understood and tried to go up to Ranma's room to see for their selves. But Happosai stops them and says, "No one can disturb Ranma right now, nor can anyone see what is happening. If you do then things could go very wrong. Ranma might be very afraid when she comes out of it. And we don't want to cause her to attack anyone of us because of our own selfish ways."

They all nod while Kasumi goes to make breakfast. Dr.Tofu decides to help her while Nabiki tries to wake her self up some more. And Akane and Shampoo are glaring daggers at Mousse as if this was his fault.

Meanwhile inside the cocoon.

"Okay this is weird even for me. Why am I in this?" Ranma asks her self.

Then a voice actually responded back with, "Because the curse is going to be lifted from you Ranma. But unfortunately for you it started while you were in the middle of your cycles so you will be stuck as a girl for the rest of your life."

"Figures this would happen to me. I lose the curse but keep the girl body...hey what happens to my male self?"

"You become pregnant with it, oh and by the way you can call me Diana. I am the girl that didn't know to just stand up and drowned in the damned spring that became the cursed spring of drowned girl."

"Umm okay Diana. So I'm going to be a mom anyway. That's just peachy...why did I say peachy?" asked Ranma

Diana giggled and said, "I'm guessing it's the curse changing you mind a bit so you won't go and get an abortion or kill your self because of this. The curse sorta makes motherhood the price for being cured. Oh and can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead, what do you want to ask?" responded Ranma.

"I was wondering if you could allow me to be alive again. You would still be pregnant with your male side, the only difference would be me becoming a twin sister for him. Would it be okay?" asked Diana

Ranma smiled and said, "Sure...I think the curse has made me like my mom...for some reason I like the idea of having a daughter and a son...so I guess it's okay."

"Thanks now you will be responsible for getting ride of the drowned girl curse. For you see once you give birth to me the curse would no longer exist and the spring would now need a new person to drown in it to become cursed. And they don't want to be cursed. So it would be good for everyone." Diana responds to Ranma

"Cool. Good to know that there will be a pretty damned good side effect for everyone...by the way you don't sound Chinese or Japanese. Where did you come from?" Ranma asks.

"Oh I was a french girl. I left France before another war with England began. I decided to go as far away as possible. And where better than the land of the rising sun?" Diana asks.

Ranma giggles and said, "That's Japan you know."

Diana giggles too and says, "I know, I just didn't get to go there, after all I did drown in China after all."

Ranma smiles and says, "Good point, oh and when should this process be done with anyway?"

Diana thinks about it and said, "As soon as you get out of this thing. But you have to drink the liquid in here first. I think you'll like it. I tried to make sure it was strawberry flavored liquid that completes the change stuff."

Ranma giggles and says, "Cool. I love strawberry. By the way am I going to be attracted to men after this?"

"Yeah. Sorry if you wanted to be a lesbian but I would like a dad please, not two moms." Diana responds.

Ranma giggles and says, "I understand, plus considering what time period you are from that had to be frowned upon."

Diana nods and says, "You are correct. Now drink this stuff so I can be alive again that much sooner."

Ranma giggles again and says, "Okay, okay I get it. Just hold on a sec okay."

Diana smiles and says, "Okay."

So Ranma drinks the liquid and she begins to feel the change now. She notices that he clothes don't fit and that her legs were longer. She smiles and says, "I'm taller now aint I?"

She hears a faint giggle and a faint yes. Ranma smiles while rubbing her belly and says, "I guess I'll have to wait a bit to hear you talk again." She then punches her way out and looks to see what time it was. She then goes to the edge of the staircase and says, "Mom! Can you help me with something!"

Nodaka quickly stops crying and disappears from the group downstairs and in front of Ranma and hugs her daughter and says, "what's wrong dear?"

Ranma blushes and said, "Didn't you notice I'm the same height as you now?"

Nodaka looks at her daughter and smiles and says, "You need something to wear don't you?"

Ranma nods and says, "Do you have spare clothes I could borrow?"

Nodaka nods and with in a second went into Kasumi's room and back. Then she gave Ranma the clothes and said, "go put these on while I tell the others your up."

Ranma nods and goes back into her room to change.

Nodaka walked back down into the kitchen and said, "Sorry Kasumi but I let Ranma borrow some of your clothes. I hope you don't mind."

"Umm I don't mind, but wouldn't they be big on her?" Kasumi asks figuring that Ranma was out of the cocoon.

Nodaka shakes her head and said, "She is taller and more matured. She actually looks her age finally."

"Wait a minute. Are you saying Ranma is 21 and not 18?" asked Dr.Tofu

Nodaka nods and says, "Yeah I'm surprised she didn't know how old she was. I'm guessing the Panda is to blame for that."

Kasumi nods in agreement and says, "I believe Genma would do that...oh and could to tell everyone breakfast is ready."

Nodaka nods in excitement while telling everyone the breakfast was ready. A few minutes late Ranma comes walking down and smiles while saying, "Good I'm starving." She then sits down next to her mother and says good mourning to everyone.

Kasumi smiles seeing that Ranma fit in her clothes almost perfectly. Akane, Shampoo, Nabiki, Cologne, Happosai and Soun are looking at Ranma just wondering if she would explain why she looks older.

Nodaka sees this and says, "You see everyone Ranma isn't 18 years old. In fact she is the same age as Kasumi. So in a way that eliminates everyone from having the rights to marry her."

Ranma looks at her mom and says, "I'm 21? But pop said... I'm going to hurt him later." She then notices the panda and smirks. Genma decides that he would rather eat out and leaves before Ranma could kill him.

Cologne looks at Shampoo and says, "It looks like you are to treat Ranma as an older Amazonian sister Shampoo."

Ranma is confused and asks, "Why is that old goul?"

Cologne was about to hit her when she noticed that it was said in a playful way and smiles and says, "In our village the younger girls are to treat the older ones almost as if they were an elder. But not in the sense that they have to do what they are told, they just are not allowed to question what they say and what they do. I'm still trying to get that law updated and or changed all together."

Ranma nods and says, "Only do that in China okay Shampoo. I want you to feel like my friend okay?"

Shampoo nods and says, "It's okay I guess...but I guess I can no longer marry you?"

Ranma nods while she starts to eat. Every one then begins to do the same and to save the conversation for after breakfast.

I hope you like the update. I got the idea for it in a dream last night.
