Part two everybody! It took me a while to write it, but I finally did it!


'This is all your fault, Ranma!' Ryoga bellowed, his face contorted in a mask of righteous fury.

I crossed my arms in defiance. 'My fault? How the heck is it my fault?'

'How could it *not* be your fault? You're the reason I'm cursed in the first place!' Ryoga's voice shook with a barely-contained rage.

'I told you it was an accident,' I said, trying to maintain a cool composure, though my voice held a hint of guilt.

'Bullshit! You kicked me into that spring on purpose!' Ryoga roared, his fists clenched.

'What? No, I didn't!' I insisted, my denial tinged with a hint of desperation.

'Yes, you did!' Ryoga's voice rose another octave, his face turning a shade of red that rivaled that of a phoenix.

'No, I didn't!' I countered, my voice echoing back with equal force.

'Yes, you did! And you know it, Ranma!' Ryoga roared again, his voice a mix of anger and frustration.

'Gentlemen, please…' Stolas interjected, his voice a soothing counterpoint to the escalating argument.

'Stay out of it!' Ryoga and I shouted in unison, our animosity momentarily uniting us.

'Uhhh, Stolas… mind telling us what's happening?' Blitzo asked, his voice laced with curiosity and a touch of amusement.

'In a minute, Blitzy… I'm trying to make sure these two don't kill each other,' Stolas replied, his voice weary but firm.

'That's it, I'm going to kick your ass!' Ryoga roared, his eyes flashing with a dangerous glint.

'Heh, I'd like to see you try, P-chan,' I sneered, enjoying the prospect of a fight.

'Grrr! Don't call me that!' Ryoga growled, his anger reaching a new peak.

'ENOUGH!' Stolas's demonic voice boomed through the room, its power echoing off the walls. His body had transformed into his huge, monstrous demon form, with jet-black feathers, large wings, and jagged teeth. The sight of him made Ryoga and I froze in our tracks, our argument forgotten.

He then transformed back to his normal demon form. 'My apologies for scaring you two,' Stolas said, his voice softening. 'But you were both acting like children.'

Ryoga and I lowered our gaze in embarrassment. We knew he was right.
