Komban wa minna-san! I hope you've enjoyed the story so far. I am sorry about the lack of updates, but the chapters are going to become longer and better. I am almost done with introducing the other important characters. The whole gang should be familiar with Yorutori by the next 2 chapters. Oh, just to clear up stuff: Ranma has never met his mother after the accident, (That one episode with the circus) Mousse has come in, umm... other stuff... (Think, Tori! THINK!!!) Oh! Akane doesn't know who Ryoga really is, but YoruTori does.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma ½ :(.

YOPEEPSYOPEEPSYOPEEPS

Last time, on Ranma ½,

"Wait, so this twerps my little brother?" Ranma asked, his pride still hurt from losing.

"Who the heck are you calling 'twerp'!" YoruUta stated, rising up from his chair. He hadn't argued with his brother in a long time, and was looking forward to it.

"Genma, don't lie to me," Happosai calmly stated, smoking his pipe. "I can tell. Something happened to that boy. He's been touched by magical presence. So, YoruUta, how do you like our pond?" He said, grabbing YoruUta's arm while throwing him into the pond. Unfortunately, he had just been about to punch Ranma, who was holding YoruUta's clenched fist. So, off into the air he went too,.

SPLASH

"...Ranma???"

YOPEEPSYOPEEPSYOPEEPS

As YourUta swam up to the surface, thankful for already being in his boy-form, he turned to his brother, only to find a young woman in his place. Oh, that must be his girl form. He thought to himself. I've never seen him... err... 'her' up close like this before. Okaa-san said I look just like him, or... her? Well, except for my jade eyes. WAIT a minute! Do I REALLY have that big of a chest?!?!?!

"Umm... I can explain..." Girl-Ranma said, slowly backing away. She couldn't believe how humiliating this was! First, she got beat by her YOUNGER brother! And then, she had to turn into a sissy-girl right in front of him!!! Man, Ranma just wanted to die right then and there. Wait a sec... he doesn't seem to surprised... something fishy is going on...

"Oh umm..." YoruUta started, before realizing the lack of surprise in his voice. "Umm... uh... oh! It's all right, I understand. Pops told me all about it. I can't believe you let yourself be turned into a girl!" At this, he broke into a fit of laughter, though inside he felt horrible for his words. Man, I hate having to act like this. But, I am for the moment a guy, so I have to act like one. "Wow, you look like... 10!"

"Oh, just shut up. It ain't my fault Pops was stupid and took me to a CURSED training ground. Besides, I'm 16. Girl's are just short." Ranma said, his arms crossed.

"You take that back!" Akane cried, but was surprised to find that it wasn't only her voice. She turned to YoruUta in shock. He currently had a guilty look on his face, which matched perfectly with Girl-Ranma's shade of hair.

"Oops... I... I gotta go!" YoruUta said, before quickly jumping from the pond and out onto the roof. From there, he quickly went from roof-to-roof into the sunset, his blue-black (but mainly black!) hair fading into the slowly falling sun. Genma, not wanting his only daughter out on the streets, no matter what form she was in, quickly moved towards YoruUta's fading figure, but realized that would raise questions.

"Ranma," Genma scolded, "You shouldn't be so mean to your brother. He is only 14." Of course, we all know it wasn't REALLY Ranma's fault, but I'm the writer, and I say it is.

"But Pops..." Ranma began, but even now she knew the battle was useless. She then diverted his attention to Happosai, who was currently crying over his 'misconception'.

"Why won't he become a pretty girl like Ranma? I need more pretty ladies!" Happosai wailed, tears coming to his face.

"Umm... It'll be okay." Kasumi said, trying to comfort the old ecchi. Sadly, she was having no luck.

"The kid is as weird as you, Ranma!" Akane exclaimed, as the sensible Nabiki nodded along. Soan, who had been silent up until this point, took Genma aside and decided to interrogate him. To his displeasure, Genma foresaw his motive and made a beeline for the pond. 'Ranma, go after him. He doesn't know his way around Nerima.' The panda wrote, pulling a sign and marker out of thin air. (Or a sub-space pocket) 'No buts, Ranma' Genma added, knowing the unspoken whine.

"Well come on Ranma, we can't just leave him out there!" Akane said, heading off into the city.

YOPEEPSYOPEEPSYOPEEPS

While this was happening, YoruUta was getting farther and farther into the city, red with embarrassment. "Great, just great. I made a fool of myself back there. I shouldn't of been such a baka-" YoruUta muttered, before tripping over some buckets on the ground. Sadly, the buckets had been sitting out for days. And even worse, they were filled with water. Poor, poor YoruUta. "Ahh! What the heck?" She asked, smoothing out her pants.

"Sorry lady, I should've picked those up!" A man called from inside a shop. She looked sown, tears coming to her eyes as she once more stared at the body of her late mother. Depression taking over her, she took off, randomly making turns. Keeping her face down to hide her tears, she tried to keep out of people's way. Unfortunately, that didn't work out, as a young girl swiftly stepped out of a shop. 'Nodoka' fell to the ground with many mutters of, "Gomen nasai, I wasn't paying attention." Getting up, she extended a helping hand to the 16-year-old on the ground. The girl was obviously Chinese, and had electric blue hair.

"Oh, I sorry," The peculiar girl said in broken Japanese. "My name Shampoo, what yours?" Shampoo said, a smile on her face. At first, YoruTori was at a loss for words, unsure of how to answer, but her problem was solved with a cry of, "Ranma! Shampoo is so happy to see you."

Ranma, now a boy again, stopped in shock. Disbelief crossing Ranma's face, he ran around Shampoo to confront his 'mother'. "Okaa-san? What are you doing here?" He questioned, as 'Nodoka's face turned bright red.

"Well... umm... I" She only got to this, before Cologne suddenly came out with a steaming bowl of ramen.

"Why, hello, Shampoo. And you to, son-in-law." She said, turning to Ranma. "Ohh, who is this?" She asked, turning to 'Nodoka'.

"Well, umm, this is my mother, Nodoka." Ranma said, indicating the woman by Shampoo.

"Well, I hope you have time to eat. Come in, customers are always welcome. But, since it is the first time you have met your future daughter-in-law, I'll make it on the house." Cologne stated, ushering them inside.

As they seated, 'Nodoka' looking terribly uncomfortable, a waiter carrying many bowls of ramen passed by. He tripped, and the hot ramen flew all over the table. "Kuso!" 'Nodoka' shouted, as she reverted back to YoruTori.

"Tori??? What are you... how did you..." Ranma stated, before the truth revealed itself to him. A look of despair crossed his face, as he asked, "What happened?" Tori, who now had her original red hair, he noted, turned to him in tears.

"Gomen nasai, Ani (A/N: Ani means 'older brother'). I couldn't save her." And with that said, Tori fled the shop.

YOPEEPSYOPEEPSYOPEEPS

She had been aimlessly walking around Nerima for about 2 hours, trying to keep Ranma and co. off her trail. YoruTori then walked past a rather large dojo-place. Greedy show-offs, She thought. Suddenly, she heard a loud exclamation.

"PIG-TAILED GIRL! I HAVE FINALLY FOUND MY PIG-TAILED GODDESS!!!" Said the stranger. Feeling endangered, she ran off to a more crowded area of the shopping district, hopping to lose her stalker. He had a wooden katana, a robe and brown hair. She wasn't completely sure of his age, but he seemed to be an upperclassmen, probably even older than Ranma. Out of nowhere, a pair of strong arms embraced her small form. "Oh, pig-tailed girl! Why have you run from me?" Kuno (A/N: If you hadn't figured out who it is, then I mock you.) asked, not realizing that he had mistaken this girl for his 'love'.

Kuso! Tori thought as she struggled against her captor. I can't get free! Suddenly, and idea of inspiration hit her. Though normally quiet, when she got mad, she made a rocket launch sound like a small fly's buzz. She took in as much air as her semi-crushed lungs were aloud, and then screamed at the top of her lungs, "HELP!!! HENTAI!!! KIDNAPPER!!!" Then, as she took in an even bigger breath of air, she screamed in an even louder voice, "RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNMMMMMMMAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHHEEELLLPPP!!!"

Kuno only stared in shock as his beloved started struggling, before she screamed out absurd accusations that made absolutely no sense. He looked around at the crowd gathering around. "Umm... It's not what it looks like!" Then, in a softer voice, he whispered, "My love, what are you doing? Has our love, that burns for a thousand sunsets not good enough for you???" Then, to his horror, she screamed out the name of his most hated enemy. "That's it! I understand, my love. It's that dreaded Ranma. He has used his evil trickery to possess your words. Don't worry, I shall free you!" And with that, he ran off into a nearby park, holding Tori bridal-style. Tori, of course, was still screaming and struggling.

YOPEEPSYOPEEPSYOPEEPS

Earlier

"Wait! Imouto!" Ranma called after YoruTori, but to no avail.

"Ranma, who was that?" Akane asked, turning to him.

"Yes, did Ranma no say that Ranma's mother?" Shampoo added.

"Well... I thought it was my mom... but, with the hot soup and all... I think I know." Ranma stated, his voice cracking. "I think... somehow YoruTori and Nodoka got to Jusenkyo, and then.. well... Okaa-san must've drowned in a spring... and... and Tori must've fallen in." Ranma finished, his face horror-stricken.

"Oh Ranma, I'm so sorry," Akane said, her eyes shining with unshed tears. "Are you all right?" She asked.

"Please, don't pity me. I'm not even sure if it's true." Ranma stated, his voice icy. "Besides, right now I want to find Tori, and make sure that she's okay." Akane and Shampoo nodded in agreement, and they sprinted from the Ramen shop.

Almost 2 hours later

Ranma, Akane and Shampoo had been searching for what felt like ages. "Ranma, it's no use. Let's go home." Akane suggested, trying to calm Ranma down.

"Fine! If you want to give up hope on my only sister, then just go home! See if I care." Ranma said, walking briskly.

"Ranma, Shampoo search forever if Shampoo have to." Shampoo said, smiling brightly. "I always help Ranma."

"But... wait... I didn't mean it like-" Akane began.

"RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNMMMMMMMAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHHEEELLLPPP!!!" Shouted a voice not too far ahead of them.

"That's YoruTori! I would know that scream anywhere!" Ranma said, worry evident on his face as he began to run. All of a sudden, a man holding a young girl crossed their path and went into the park next to them. "Kuno! That baka yaro! I swear I'll kill him for this!" He ran into the park to face Kuno directly. What he came to only fueled his anger more. "Kisama! This is a new low." His voice was deathly low, and could strike fear into the hearts of many. Sadly, many didn't count Kuno.

"Saotome Ranma! No longer shall you ruin my true love with the Pig-Tailed Goddess!" Of course, he wasn't really paying attention to the fact that Tori was still struggling, muttering curses that would make a sailor blush, and was hiding coming tears.

"Ranma! Ani! Save me!" She said. "He's too strong!"

"Damn you Ranma, for tampering with her mind so! I cannot believe you would do such a-" Kuno stopped talking suddenly. "Wait a sec, did she just say your her ani?"

"Yes, you SOB! Now put her down so I can kick your butt!" Ranma then charged forward, as he unleashed his 'Chestnut's Roasting on an Open Fire' technique.

"Ranma! What are you doing?" Akane called. "You could hurt her as well!" Realizing his mistake, he quickly uncurled his fists right before he was in range. Then, he sweep kicked Kuno while blocking his sword, and took YoruTori from Kuno's grasp. Curling up against her brother, Tori let out a few tears of relief.

"Shh..." Ranma comforted. "It's alright now. Your safe." Akane stared, mouth open wide in shock at the scene before her. Ranma, the Ranma who called her 'un cute' and acted like a total jerk, was actually being nice!

Of course, that scene didn't last long, as Kuno had to but in, "What are you doing? Give my future bride back!" Kuno yelled, coming towards Ranma.

"Do you even know how old she is?" Ranma asked, the only thing keeping him from beating the crap out of Kuno was Tori's need to be held.

"Of course I do!" Kuno replied. "She's... she's..." Kuno hung his head in defeat, but quickly rebounded. "It doesn't matter! Our love never ages!"

"FYI, Kuno no baka, she isn't even 15." Ranma said, smirking as the color left from Kuno's face. "Besides, for you to be together, you would need MY approval, which you sure as hell ain't going to get." Then, he turned around, still holding YoruTori, and motioned for Shampoo and Akane to follow. Kuno fell to his knees. His 'heart' (if you can call it that) now broken.

Wow! 9 pages! A new record! Man, I'm beat. Anyway, I hope you liked it. This is after Ukyo show's up, we should meet her with the next chapter or two. Note to Dess: WHY WON'T YOU REVIEW??? Feel free to give constructive criticism, but please no flames. Oh, and you know how 'ou' sounds like 'o' in Japanese? I might switch spellings of Ryoga/Ryouga. But Ryoga looks more natural to me, so I think I'll stick to that. If you see any gramatical errors, feel free to send me a message or review saying so. Please review! Or I might give up this story thinking no one likes it!!!
