Chapter 11: Akari
Ranma Saotome, irritated female (at the moment) martial artist was racing towards the sound of the thunderous roar that robbed her of her manhood.
Roof-hopping, she surveyed the area for anything weird. (To normal people, that is.)
After half an hour of searching, she gave up and decided to go to the Tendo home.
"Ranma!" Nodoka was surprised to see her son home. "Doesn't school get out later?"
Ranma chuckled and scratched the base of her pigtail. "About that… the school had problems and there was this loud roar so I kinda left to search for whatever it was."
"I see." Her mother looked away. "Son, I know where the dragon went…"
"A dragon?" Ranma's eye twitched. 'Aw, man… this is gonna hurt.'
"Yes, you see… the Jusenkyo water escaped."
Ranma's eyes widened. "No! It got you, didn't it!"
Nodoka just nodded and grabbed Ranma's shoulders.
"Ranma, it's true. I am cursed now as well. Attacking the water won't do anything."
"But…" Ranma was struggling to hold back tears. "How could it do it to you? I… I…"
She was glomped by her mother.
"It is alright to cry. I won't hold it against you. Being cursed has… changed… my outlook on this…" Nodoka stroked Ranma's red hair. "Son, don't look for revenge… I deserve this. I haven't been very ladylike or motherly to you. I should have never tried to enforce the seppuku pledge. You are more manly than I could have ever had hoped for."
"…Mom?" Ranma, despite her mother's permission, still didn't want to cry in her arms.
"Be yourself, my son. You make me so proud." Nodoka closed her eyes, a silent tear rolled down her face.
*Click* *Flash!* A camera went off.
"This is soo cuuute!" Kasumi smiled. "Now, doesn't it feel better, Auntie?"
"Huh?" Ranma was confused at the scene.
"Ms. Jusenkyo wasn't very nice to curse Auntie, but she explained herself that it was necessary." Kasumi grabbed a kettle. "Besides, Auntie needed to learn to appreciate her child. Hot water?"
Ranma nodded as she became he in his mother's arms.
"Oh my, where are my sisters?" Kasumi realized who was missing.
"Son, you didn't leave them behind, did you?" Nodoka looked into her son's eyes.
"Hee hee… about that…" Ranma tried to think of a way out of the situation.
That's when his luck turned for the better and a pig squeal was heard.
"See, Ryoga? Katsunishiki knows where the Tendos live," Akari said so happily, just outside the Tendo walls.
"Sorry I doubted you, Katsunishiki," Ryoga apologized.
"Squeeall!" the giant sumo pig replied.
"Ryoga's here!" Ranma ran towards them, glad for the distraction.
Jumping on the wall to look down at the three, Ranma smirked. "How ya doing, P-chan?"
Ryoga's mood changed to rage. "Don't call me that!"
"That's the Ryoga I know! What have you been up to? I haven't seen you in weeks…" Ranma teased.
"Ryoga was staying at my grandfather's farm. He kept getting lost, but always found his way back." Akari climbed off her sumo pig.
Behind Ranma, the Jusenkyo water, now very small, climbed up the wall.
"So, why are you here, anyway?" Ranma asked, curious.
"It's none of your business!" Ryoga shouted angrily.
Ranma rolled his eyes. "Like I believe that."
The two stared at each other, one with anger, and the other with smugness. Ryoga was going to lose it when Akari spoke up.
"How is water moving like that?" the girl wondered aloud.
Ranma broke his gaze with Ryoga and looked at where Akari was staring.
There, the Jusenkyo water was on top of the wall, moving away from the pigtailed boy.
Ranma jumped on it immediately.
"Why'd you do it?" he screamed at the top of his lungs.
The water slipped through his fingers that became her fingers and shot past.
Akari and Ryoga stared in confusion as Ranma yelled at the moving water.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Not far away, a monkey and a fox were riding a dog on the way towards the Tendo dojo.
"Grrr… Woof!" Ukyo barked. 'Stupid bet. I should have known this would happen,' the chef-turned-dog thought as she carried Akane and Nabiki home. 'Ladle lady, I gotta watch out for her.'
"Eek EE!" Akane complained. 'Why did Nabiki bet that we would get wet? And why didn't I believe her? I can walk on my own!'
*Munch crunch* Nabiki had her face in a bag of potato chips.
'At least Akane is back to denial,' Ukyo thought. 'But this way I can see Ran-chan. Too bad I have to carry them.'
'Nabiki is so… huh? Isn't that Ryoga?' Akane thought as she looked on ahead.
*Sniff* Ukyo smelled Ranma. Looking up, she saw his female form on the wall of the Tendos, messing with… water.
Ukyo started running, the monkey and fox on her back bobbing up and down.
Suddenly, she screeched to a stop as the water Ranma was yelling at flew towards Ryoga and Akari.
All three animals' eyes grew wide at what they saw.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
As Jusenkyo fell off the wall, it started to panic. 'Not Akari! She didn't do anything!'
Unfortunately for all involved, the water hit them both in the face and was swallowed by the confused couple.
"Brwee!" Ryoga squealed as he became a piglet again.
He growled at Ranma before his focus shifted as he looked at Akari.
There, instead of the girl who came to love him in spite of becoming a piglet, was… a piglet.
A pink, hat wearing piglet.
"Oh my!" Kasumi noted as she and Nodoka stood watching from the gate. "I thought Ms. Jusenkyo was headed out towards the Kunos."
"It's a shame," Nodoka shook her head. "I'll get the hot water."
"Snoik?" Akari looked at herself in shock.
"Sorry about that, Akari," Ranma said guiltily. "That was living Jusenkyo water that has been cursing everyone. I tried to stop it…"
Ryoga bit Ranma's hand.
"Ow! You little! I didn't try to curse your girlfriend!" Ranma smashed him into the ground. "At least she's the same species as you!"
The two rivals fought, as Ryoga blamed Ranma for making his life hell and Ranma insisted it wasn't his fault.
They stopped when a dog caring a monkey and a fox barked at them.
Ranma had P-chan by his bandana and turned to see her audience.
"What happened to you three?" Ranma asked.
"Ee Ekk Eck EEck!" Akane screeched.
"Nabiki actually bet that you would all get splashed on the way home and Ukyo had to carry you two? That's just stupid, Akane," Ranma shook her head.
"Bree!" Ryoga realized that Akane was now a capuchin monkey!
The angry piglet bit Ranma again.
"Stop it, would ya!" Ranma smashed him into the ground.
Akane leapt at Ranma's face.
"Eck! EEEk!" Akane hit Ranma on the head before sitting on her shoulder.
"It's not picking on Ryoga if…" Ranma's eyes grew wide.
'Why does Ranma have to keep picking on Ryoga?' Akane thought in anger. 'He gets cursed to become P-chan and now he's hurting him! Poor P-chan… may you rest in peace. I'm sure Ryoga will not ruin your image, though.'
"Everyone, come inside, we have hot water!" Nodoka came out with a kettle.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Inside, after everyone was human again, Ryoga was out cold and being nursed by Akari.
"Poor Ryoga… getting curseed has put him in shock," Akane pitied her friend.
"Hey Akane, doesn't Ryoga look like P-chan?" Ukyo asked, curious.
Akane lowered her head. "P-chan must have drowned at Jusenkyo."
Akari looked up. "No, he..."
She was cut off by Ranma. "Yes, poor P-chan drowned at Jusenkyo. He will be missed."
Akari was confused. "But…"
Ranma looked at her. "P-chan… drowned… at Jusenkyo…" He said each word deliberately slowly, emphasizing them all.
"Ranma, stop it!" Akane growled. "He's already dead. Stop making it worse."
The blue-haired girl didn't mean to react like that, but the circumstances forced her.
"Hey sis, I bet…" Nabiki was cut off by Akane.
"I'm not betting with you!" Akane screamed.
"Whoa, calm down, Akane," Ukyo spoke up. "Wait, are you sure that there isn't any more Jusenkyo water running around?"
"Ryoga and I drank most of it…" Akari answered. "I don't think so."
"Speaking of which…" Ranma got down to Ryoga's ear. "Hey, pork chop! Wake up!"
That startled Ryoga enough to catapult upwards. "Ranma! Don't…" That's when he noticed the other people in the room, especially Akane.
He froze up upon seeing her.
"Ryoga, dear?" Akari knelled in front of him. "Are you alright?"
"Ak-karii!" Ryoga sputtered. 'Whew, I thought I had to face Akane without explaining myself first… on no, she's there.'
"Now Ryoga, remember what you promised me when we came here?" Akari tried to remind Ryoga.
"I… but! Ah… you're right… Akane… I… I… I… I did… something horrible." Ryoga couldn't look into Akane's eyes.
"What?" Akane asked nervously.
Ranma, out for his own skin, crept away, somehow knowing that the beans would be spilled now.
"I… you see, Akane… I didn't mean to! But you were so nice to me! I… I couldn't help it…" Ryoga rambled.
Everyone else in the room wore a confused look on their face… except Kasumi of course; she smiled with a tray of tea for everyone.
"I… I watched over you, heard your secrets… I you told me everything that was dear to you… I couldn't stop!" Ryoga wailed.
Kasumi was handing out tea to everyone, all watching the lost boy.
Nabiki declined, opting instead for Team Four Star Soda… and a muffin… a blueberry muffin.
"I pretended to be one thing, but used it in a way I wasn't supposed to… I betrayed your trust… I… I hated it, but I couldn't stop… even when everyone else knew," Ryoga continued.
"WHAT! EVERYONE KNEW?" Akane yelled at the top of her voice.
Those in the room all denied knowing anything. Well, Ukyo and Nodoka did. Nabiki didn't answer, Kasumi was giving out cookies and Akari was comforting Ryoga.
"Don't blame them, it's… It's my fault… I… should have told you that first day, but the bed was so warm… I… it was so… comforting…" Ryoga struggled. "Then… then I ended up… liking you… a lot… but… Ranma was around… and I… knew that you would never forgive me… but, I needed to tell you, so that I could get it over with. Though I will miss being your pet… please forgive me…"
Eerie silence followed. Ryoga waited to be beaten up like he saw her do to Ranma; Akane stared dumbly at the back of his head; Ukyo was irritated as she figured out that Ryoga was P-chan; Nodoka wondered what was happening and why this boy was being so unmaly-y vauge; Kasumi sipped tea; Akari waited for Akane to snap; Nabiki… ate her muffin.
Eventually, crickets were heard as some Japanese woman released them in the area.
Ranma waited on a nearby roof, in female form with an ice cream cone in her hand, waiting for the fireworks.
Genma snored as he was still hung over; Soun was unconscious next to him.
Over at the Cat Café, the Amazons were playing a children's card game to determine who would wash the dishes.
A few wards southeast, a skunk was annoying a cat; he seemed very French for some reason and was old and wrinkly with a pair of rabbit panties on his head.
In an okonomiyaki restaurant, a ninja girl was poking a chameleon with a stick.
In the richest home in the area, a whole family felt very lucky for some reason.
The chirping stopped when a frog ate the crickets.
Finally, the silence was broken.
"Ryoga," Akane asked, "what exactly did you do?"
The chef, the pig farmer and the ice-cream-eating redhead waiting outside all facefaulted.

Author's notes: yeah, I realize that too… Akane finding out, yet not finding out? Oh and who can guess what Akane is? It's really obvious… what monkey is a capuchin, can breathe underwater (sorta) and is stated to be immortal? I will be sure you figure it out or my name isn't the Text! Which it is…
