"what do you mean you have access to each others memories" Soun roared at Ranma at hearing this recent bit of news, feeling that the relationship between Ranma and this spirit was getting a little too intimate.

"Exactly that" Ranma replied as he continued to eat his ramen "why is that a problem?" Ranma then proceeded to ask.

Soun then took on the form of his family demon head "Saotome you are to marry Akane and how can you do that when your sharing your mind and body with some girl you don't even know" soun bellowed, genma had already backed away as did every other person at the table to avoid it's gaze, except for Ranma that is, Ranma then closed his eyes and began to focus on his chi and that of bloom's and began to control, merge and manipulate them until a red battle aura erupted from him and took on the shape of a huge dragon that let loose a terrifying roar and that was what shocked and terrified everyone, except Akane who was as ignorant as ever, do to the fact the dragon had made a sound, a sound that was almost physical which should be impossible except for those who have trained for centuries. The same thought then crossed both Soun and Genma's minds 'just how powerful is this spirit' Ranma's yes then snapped open and he glared at soun, meeting the demon heads glare and returning it ten fold. Soun's demon head then dissipated and left Soun sat up strait frozen in fear and beads of sweat sliding down his face.

Ranma then smirked as he retracted his new aura and returned it to its original form. Ranma then resumed eating his ramen, while continuing to protect it from Genma's chopsticks, as thoughts of what Bloom had told him earlier stormed his mind, 'leave Nerima and go to Magix.'

The next morning…

Ranma was awoken by the usual crash landing in the koi pond and Genma gloating over her saying he was getting sloppy. Ranma then climbed out of the pond and glared at Genma, she then let out a sigh. Bloom's astral form then appeared beside her "you want some help, you could get this over and done with" Bloom proposed as she looked towards Genma who still awaited Ranma's reaction.

"I can beat him on my own" Ranma muttered.

"I know, but still it could be good practise on using your new powers" Bloom replied, a smirk then grew on Ranma's face and she gave a slight nod.

"okay now concentrate on the energy within and let it flow through out your body, but do not let it overflow your body or you will transform, once it fills your body thrust your arm out and force the energy into your palm and then fire" Bloom instructed.

Ranma then took on a relaxed stance and began to concentrate on the energy within her and once he was ready she took on a stance and thrusted her right arm out, palm facing forward and began to force the power out and a small ball of dragon fire began to from. Ranma then fired it at genma who began to charge at Ranma, thinking Ranma wasn't paying attention only to be shot in the gut and be sent flying inside the Tendo residence, Ranma then relaxed again and looked at her smoking palm, Bloom who still floated beside her then noticed Ranma was still covered in water.

"Ranma I have an idea on how you can have a little more control of your curse" Bloom said, Ranma then jerked her head round in surprise, wide eyed at what Bloom had said.

"Really!?" Ranma asked in excitement, Bloom then nodded with a smile, Bloom then floated and began to overlap her astral form with Ranma like she had the day before, except this time they weren't preparing to fight an old, perverted freak. Ranma then felt her body temperature begin to rise and her skin began to glow slightly, Ranma then noticed the water on her skin began to emit steam and evaporate, due to her skin boiling the water, in result triggering her curse and reverting Ranma back to normal, Bloom then floated out of his body and returned to his side. Ranma then turned to her.

"How did you?" Ranma asked.

"I used my power of the dragon fire to raise your body temperature…like what happens when my anger reaches it's limit, it then continued to rise it and boil the water, thus activating your curse, though it did cause your skin to glow slightly" Bloom explained.

"R…R…Ranma how did you do that" Genma stuttered out after staggering to his feet only to have Ranma smirk in reply "now listen here boy I am your father and I demand you to tell me how to control the curse" Genma demanded, before running up to Ranma and grabbing his shirt.

"Bloom, she figured it out and only we can do it" Ranma replied with a smirk before gripping Genma's arm and throwing him into the koi pond behind him, activating his curse. Ranma then grabbed a bowl of rice and his school bag before beginning his journey to school while eating his rice.

School…

Ranma had finished his breakfast and had put the bowl in his school bag, Ranma then walked through the school gates, Bloom's astral form at his side, only to get his usual 'welcome' from Kuno, Kuno instantly ran at Ranma swinging his stick.

"Saotome I shall defeat thee, you vile sorcerer and earn the hands of the tigress Akane Tendo and the virtues pig tailed girl" Kuno wailed. Ranma nimbly dodged every one of Kuno's strikes, Ranma then struck Kuno in the gut at full force, Kuno then staggered back, gripping his gut, Ranma then used a rolling kick to strike Kuno in the head and knock him out cold.
