12. Not Cold Water!

"So, Xander, whatcha going as for Halloween?" Buffy asked, as they browsed through Ethan's.

Xander held up a black wig, "A cheap costume."

"What kind of costume does that make?" Willow inquired.

"I have the rest of the costume at home. I'm going as Ranma," he replied.

"Ra-who?" chirped Buffy.

Xander sighed, "Ranma, a character, from this anime I like."

"Oh, your cartoons," Willow responded, rolling her eyes.

Xander frowned, then smirked, he reached toward her and tugged at the package in
Willow's hand, "At least its more original than your ghost costume."

Willow frowned at him, "I like going as a ghost."

Xander smiled, shrugged, and wandered off to the till to pay for his wig.

Ranma leaped onto the roof, surveying the chaos on the streets, He did not know where he was or how he had got there and he was confused. Not only that, the red-haired ghost had called him Xander. He began hopping from roof to roof, thinking about his dilemma. He heard a female scream in fear and he took off toward it.

He saw a female figure desperately running from a gigantic dog thing and lept from the roof between the girl and the beast. He leaped forward and kicked the beast into a nearby building, knocking it out. He turned to the girl he had just saved and saw her for the first time. He went as white as a sheet and backed away from her, stuttering, "C. . .c. . . c. . .a . . .a . . .a . . . a. . . t!"

He scrambled desperately away from the girl, turning and leaping onto the roof. Speeding away from the cat-girl as fast as possible, the girl called out from behind him, "Wait, Xander! Where are you going?"

Once he had left her precence he calmed down. He sat down, cross-legged and though about what was happening. He was not in a place he was familiar with, he was not at the place he remembered being at and two different people had called him Xander. Something hinky was going on. He frowned and centered his ki. He quickly realized that the body he was in wasn't his own. He realized that another personality was within him, struggling to get free.

He centered his energies further, discerning that there was a strange energy signature surrounding him. The source of it was coming from the east of him. Ranma frowned, this was not his body, it was someone elses. He was going to stop whatever was going on and give this body back to its rightfull owner.

Ranma yelled in outrage as cold water was dumped on him by Ethan. Ranma-chan glared at Ethan, water dripping from her red hair, "You are gonna pay for that, old man. I hate cold water."

She cracked her knuckles and then proceeded to beat the everliving crap out of Ethan. After she was done and Ethan was a bruised and bloody pulp, she shook him and growled out, "How do you stop the spell?"

"Break the bust," Ethan gasped out.

Ranma-chan picked up the bust and smashed it to the ground. She swayed for a moment and blinked. Xander looked down at herself and groaned. She walked over to Ethan and yelled, "Hot water! Right Now!"

Ethan weakly gestured to a sink near the back. Xander walked over to it and turned the hot water tap on. She splashed some hot water on her face and became a 'he' again. Xander shook his head. This would only happen to him. Only he would inherit a Jusenkyo Curse.
