Author notes: So here it is, please enjoy. PS. I don't own Ranma.
Chapter 13
Cologne sat in her room digging trough her valuables. She felt something was missing or out of place, but she could not figure it out what. Cologne had been checking through her things all night and the sun had just came up. Shampoo walked in her great grandmothers room,
"Great grandmother why no sleep?" she asked while rubbing her eyes.
"Shampoo I feel like something is missing but I still don't know what." Cologne informed her great granddaughter.
Shampoo sat on the tatami next to Cologne.
"Let shampoo help." she offered.
They had searched for half an hour but Shampoo had finally figured what was missing.
"Oh no great-grandmother formula missing!"
"What!who could have stole-Happy!"
Cologne hurried to her drawer took out her clothes and changed. Not even a minute later she was out the door.
Every one at the Saotome/ Tendo residence were eating breakfast well everyone except for Happosai.
"Where's the old freak at?" Ranma asked while taking a bite of rice.
"He's still in his room. When I went to call him he said he was not hungry." Mika answered.
"The master not hungry that's strange." Soun pointed out.
Nobody noticed the old man sneaking behind Ranma with a bucket full of cold water.
"Hey!" the red head shouted.
"Come to papa." Happosai leapt to grope Ranma's breast but instead was orbited in space by Akane's mallet.
"Great just great." Ranma mumbled while heading over to the furo.
She turned on the hot water faucet but as she placed it over her head surprisingly she did not turn back into a 'he'.
"AGHHHHH!" Ranma screamed.
Her scream was so loud that probably even the Kuno residence could have heard it.
Everyone ran in.
"What's wrong!?" Akane asked concerned.
"I-I-I'm not turning back!" she freaked out.
"What do you mean?" Yoshiho asked.
"That I'm not turning back into a guy." Ranma pointed out the obvious.
"Please tell me it's not to late!" Cologne exclaimed while hoping on her cane.
"What's going on here?" Soun asked.
"What do you mean 'To late' what's the matter with me? Why I'm not turning back?" Ranma asked freaking out more then before.
Everyone now sat in the tea room sipping tea that Mika had kindly prepared. After a few sips of her tea Cologne began to explain what was going on.
"Long ago the Amazons came up with a special kind of powder named Lix powder. The Lix powder is capable of turning a person into anything. Sensei's used this powder mostly to train their students. They used to place the powder in a pot, heat it up, and then place it in bucket full of water. They then place something of their choice in the bucket and splash it on their student. For example if the Sensei wanted their student to grow muscles they would place a picture of a muscular arm in the pot and the powder would cause it to melt. After they would splash it on their student and the student would receive muscles. In Ranma's case Happosai probably placed something that belongs to the female Ranma and then splashed it on him."
"So how can we fix this?" Akane asked the old Amazon.
"Well there is a cure but it could take up to a month to gather all of its ingredients. You see we only have a week to cure Ranma if we are not able to cure him he will turn into an animal. The Senseis that used the powder did not know about this side effect and their students would become a random animal and stay that way for ever." Cologne informed.
"So what are the ingredients old ghoul?" Ranma asked.
Cologne pulled out a worn out piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Ranma.
"There are about fifty ingredients and twenty of them are hard to find." Cologne informed them.
Ranma opened the paper and began to read the ingredients. She read a few out loud.
"Pork,Noodles,.."
"Oh sorry that's how to make pork ramen. Here's the real one." Cologne handed another similar paper to Ranma.
She slowly read its content.
"What! Where do we find a 600 year old leaf?" Ranma exclaimed.
"Like I said a few of them are hard to find. We must get on to it after all we only have a week."
"We only have till Friday!" Ranma was starting to freak out.
Akane grabbed her hand and squeezed it.
"Don't worry we will cure you in no time." she assured the red head.
"Akane is right don't let this get you down." Mika added.
Ranma looked over at her family and then turned back to Cologne.
"Well then what are we waiting for."
Happosai sat on a bench not knowing there was a cure and Cologne was on it.
"Ranma to bad your beautiful body will turn into an animal, I guess I must enjoy it while I can." he gave a perverted smile and ran for the Saotome/Tendo home.
Cologne had fifteen ingredients needed for the cure but only two of them were hard to find the rest was easier than the A B C's. Ranma and Akane had followed her back to the Cat café and were helping her gather ingredients.
"Well fifteen of them are out the way." she announced.
"Well that's pretty good we only have thirty-five to go." Akane cheered.
"Yeah but eighteen are hard to find." Ranma informed.
Cologne placed the ingredients in a plastic bag and then hoped on her cane to the kitchen. Ranma and Akane followed her.
She then grabbed a sticky note and wrote a few things on it.
"Here are some places you may find other ingredients for the potion." she handed the note to Ranma.
Happosai had just returned home and was searching for Ranma but when he saw no sign of the bustty red head he asked Mika where she could be.
"Um I don't know where he went."
Happosai could see through her face that she was lying. At that moment Akane and Ranma walked in.
Happosai had forgotten about Mika's lie when he saw the red head walk in.
"Come to me sweetie!"
Ranma was quick to punch the old man but that did not stop him from trying again and again until he could manage to grope those lovely breast. Ranma kicked the old man through the roof but one minute later he was back to leap for Akane.
"Whaa!" she screamed while punching the pervert.
Happosai was laying on the floor and began to whine.
"Why do you all treat a helpless poor man like me this way?" his tears were flooding the floor.
"Helpless?" Ranma questioned his words.
"Poor man?" Akane added.
Ranma suddenly remembered why he was stuck in his female body.
"You old freak it's your fault I'm stuck like this!" she leapt in with a punch that was dodged by the old perverted man.
Happosai leapt for Ranma's butt but she quickly kicked the old man to stop him.
"I'm gettin tired of this!" Ranma exclaimed while punching the man out of the house for good.
Cologne sat at a table with her great-granddaughter.
"What we do great-grandmother if Ranma girl now Ranma turn animal later."
"I know but we have managed to find fifteen ingredients."
"ingredients for what?" Moose walked in and asked.
Cologne explained about Happosai stealing the powder and using it on Ranma.
"What! This is bad I must help him." Moose said while adjusting his glasses.
"You know there might be something you could help us with." Cologne informed him.
"Poor Daddy, Yoshiho we need to help him!" Saya told her brother.
"Yeah but how?" he asked while spinning on his computer chair.
" I don't know but there must be a way." she assured.
"I hope there is otherwise he is going to be a 'she' forever." Yoshiho said with a sad expression while looking at the floor.
The kids were oblivious about the cure and the animal transformation.
"I just hope everything goes back to normal, I mean it's already hard enough that mom does not remember anything now dad is a girl for the rest of his life. Seriously what next?" Yoshiho added.
Saya placed her small hands on her brother's shoulder.
"I have a feeling this will end soon both for mom and for dad." she assured him and then walked out of his room.
Saya walked down stairs and as she was entering the tea room she overheard her parents talk on the porch.
"What if we can't get all the ingredients and I turn into an animal?" Ranma asked Akane in a worried tone.
"I'm telling you that you won't. Have a little faith will ya." Akane reassured him.
'Animal? What are they talking about?' Saya question herself.
"I just hope we can get the cure in time, after all we only got a week." Ranma confessed to his wife.
"Mommy, Daddy what do you guys mean by ingredients and animal?" Saya asked in a confused way.
Ranma and Akane both looked at each other.
'What do we do? We tell her the truth?' Ranma thought and some how could be heard by Akane and her thoughts could be heard by Ranma.
'Well she has the right to know so lets tell her' Akane answered.
Ranma nodded and began to tell Saya about how he only had a week to gather everything or he would turn into an animal.
Saya gasped and then began to talk.
"Daddy if you need any help please ask me and Yoshiho, we would be more than happy to help you. I don't want an animal as a father so please don't hesitate."
The only thing Ranma could do was nod. She saw the terrified look in her daughter's eyes but her expression seemed like a 'determined to help' look.
Saya then ran out the room and up the stairs to tell Yoshiho.
Akane looked over at the red head , that was now staring into space , and grabbed her hand. She squeezed it tight as to say "I'm here for you don't worry." Ranma looked over at her and gave her a smile but Akane knew that it was forced so she squeezed her hand again.
"Ranma what ever happens we are in it together." said Akane in a gentle voice.
"Yeah , I know." she said and then faced to watch the koi pond.
