A/N: I DON"T OWN RANMA. Sorry for the long wait.

Chapter 14

Akane, Cologne, and Ranma set off the next morning to climb Mt. Fuji. They had managed to find four more ingredients but none of them were a problem to find.

"Well so far we've managed to find four things in just half an hour so that's pretty good, right?" Akane said trying to lift up the mood.

Cologne gave a simple nod as a response but Ranma still had a far away look in her eyes. Akane could not help but frown every time she looked over at her husband. She could only imagine how hard all of this has been on him. Suddenly cologne came to a stop.

"What's the matter Cologne?" Akane asked a bit confused.

"Look." Cologne pointed at a flower that was growing at the peak of the mountain.

"That's one of our rarer ingredients." the amazon stated.

"It grows in snow and most of the times it dies when it is fully grown." she added.

Cologne and the others carefully walked up the peak and headed for the flower. As soon as they were near Ranma ran for it but Cologne stopped the red head in time.

"Don't touch it! It is a very poisonous flower and it will spray a toxic venom if any one dares to touch it." she informed him.

"Then how can we get it?" Ranma asked.

"We need to find a way to up root it and not inhale or be touched by its venom." Cologne answered.

The amazon stood still for a while and thought over ideas while Ranma and Akane stared at her hoping she could find a way. Cologne opened her mouth, causing both husband and wife to smile, but she closed it again. Cologne opened her mouth once more and this time began to speak.

"Well there is one idea but it will take up a few days and honestly by the look of this flower it seems that now is our only chance." Cologne said while looking at the rare flower.

"Well we can't waste any time." Ranma said while clutching her fists.

Akane could see the gleam of hope in the red head's eyes and she felt that it was now or never. She rolled her jacket sleeves over her hands and her scarf over her mouth and nose and ran to up root the flower.

"Akane what are you- AKANE DON'T!" Ranma shouted.

But it was too late.

Saya and Yoshiho set off into the city with a list of ingredients their parents had not found yet. Two of them they had managed to find at a corner store but they were no where near to be done.

"Well we have been out for a good hour and a half and we only managed to find two things." Saya sighed.

"Well lets not give up something tells me this story will be over soon." Yoshiho said.

"Yeah you're right. Now lets see.." Saya checked the list she had in her hand.

"Well we already found in-scent from China and horse hair. Now we have to look for a duck feather." Saya informed.

"Well I know where we could find that." Yoshiho said while heading in the direction of the Cat café.

"Akane!?" Ranma shouted while holding her unconscious wife in her arms.

Ranma slapped her face lightly to wake her up.

"Akana wake up silly girl...wake up..."

Ranma's head was down cast but cologne could see a streak of silver forming in the red head's eyes.

Suddenly Akane moved her hand and touched Ranma's face.

"I'm sorry I worried you but look..." she held up the flower.

"..I got it."

Ranma blinked rapidly for a good ten seconds before speaking.

"You're such an idiot why would you do that we could have figured some other way." she felt angry at Akane and wanted to show her anger but her tone in voice come out relieved.

"Just don't do it again, ok?" Ranma added.

"Well I'm glad Akane is fine but we need to get going now and preserve the flower." Cologne informed them.

Akane and Ranma both got up and began to follow the Amazon down the mountain.

"So you both need a duck feather?" Moose asked while adjusting his glasses.

"Yes, Xia Ling once told me you were also cursed and when hit with cold water you could turn into a duck." Yoshiho replied.

"Well that was back in the days my wife and I got cured years ago." Moose informed the boy.

"So where could we find a feather?" Saya asked Yoshiho.

"I have no idea." he replied.

"Well maybe I could help, but no promises." Moose said while heading in the storage room.

Saya and Yoshiho had followed behind and now where standing next to the near sighted Amazon. Moose pulled out an old small cage and opened it.

"Lets see, BINGO!" he exclaimed when he found what he was looking for.

Moose held up a white duck feather in his right hand.

"Back than mother in law and my adorable wife used to keep me in this cage as a duck, good thing one of my feather's remained." Moose said while handing it to Yoshiho.

"Thank you very much." Saya said while her and her brother both bowed and headed out the door.

After an hour and a half Ranma, Akane, and Cologne finally arrived in Nerima and were heading to their proper homes. When Cologne got back she set the flower in a plastic bag and set it in the fridge.

"Welcome home great grandmother how was trip?" Shampoo asked as she walked in the kitchen.

"Hello Shampoo, well we managed to find the flower that will cure Ranma." Cologne informed her great granddaughter.

"That great news now Ranma have cure!" Shampoo exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes this was the last rare ingredient we needed to find."

"You must be hungry let Shampoo cook for customer today you rest." Shampoo said while grabbing a pot and filling it with water.

"Thank you Shampoo." Cologne said then headed to her room.

"Welcome home." Mika greeted with a bright smile.

"It's great to be back." Akane said and hugged Mika.

"So did you guys find what you both were looking for?" Mika asked.

"Yeah we did, by the way Mika is there anything to eat I'm starving." Ranma said while clutching her stomach.

" You always think about food." Akane said while nudging Ranma's arm playfully.

"Well I can't help it I'm starving." Ranma informed her.

Mika could not help but laugh.

"Well I saved a plate for both of you." Mika said while heading to the kitchen.

"Mommy,Daddy!" Saya exclaimed while heading down the stairs to hug her parents.

"Hey." Both Akane and Ranma said in unison while they got tackled by their daughter.

"Hey mom and dad." Yoshiho said while walking down the stairs.

All four of them headed to the tea room and were followed by Mika with two plates in her hands.

"Here you go." she said while serving Ranma and Akane.

"Itadakemasu!" Akane exclaimed while taking a bite of her tempura.

"I thought you weren't hungry." Ranma said.

"I never said I wasn't." Akane informed him.

Saya watched her parents and smiled.

"Well I'm glad you guys are home and me and Yoshiho have a surprise for you daddy." Saya said while reaching in her pocket.

"We found more ingredients for the potion." she continued as she showed Ranma the list.

"That's great now you will be a guy again!Well sort of." Akane cheered.

Ranma grabbed the list and could not help but smile.

"Thanks guys." she said with a warmheartedly.
