Ranma was EXHAUSTED! This week was the start of his new training schedule with two new masters and while his first day at the Kazama ryu school went by ok, today's training at Bang-sensei's school was MURDER!
When he first got there, he could feel all the stares from the other students looking at him. It was like they were all judging him harshly just for showing up. He felt a little intimidated, but it was nothing he couldn't handle. It wasn't until the work out got started that he felt that this was going to be tuff.
It was bad enough that he had to start off doing basics and warmups, but he was made to work out in a weighted gi, even the belt was weighted. He went through the motions of the katas and did everything he was told to do, but the extra kilos from the gi made the training even harder. One the one side, he was happy to have such intense training because it would make him a lot stronger.
On the other hand, however... he was so tired that he felt like he would collapse at any given moment. He doubted that he could even take Kuno out in his current condition. He sighed, it would all be worth it, to make himself feel better, he thought back to one of his favorite manga characters, Son Goku, wearing weighted cloths to increase his strength and speed. That but a smile on his face, thinking that he was training like his hero.
Then he started thinking about what he had seen of the Ryusui Gansaiken. At first glance, it looked like the style was heavily based on Tai Chi but had elements of Karate and Kenpo. Learning the moves of the style would be easy, it was the special techniques that he saw Bang-sensei and the advanced students practicing that would be more challenging. But it would be worth it to add those moves to his new style.
He couldn't wait! But for now, all he wanted to do was open the door to his house, crawl into bed, and go to sleep. As he reached the door to his house, he opened the door only to get tackled by a green and blue haired blur as Lum grabbed him and pulled him into the house and tackled him to the ground.
"Welcome home Darling!" She said as she cuddled the prone and exhausted martial artist. Ranma sighed as he just lied there on the floor, helpless to fight back against the onslaught of cuddles and snuggles.
"Move over, Oni girl!" Came Kurama's voice as she jumped onto him alongside Lum. Ranma was blushing up a storm as the two alien beauties nuzzled their faces against his cheeks.
"Lum-chan, Kurama-chan. Guys I really don't have the energy for this tonight. My training was rough, my body's aching, and I don't have the strength to fight my way out of a paper bag right now. Please let me up. And if it's not too much of a bother, could you guys drag me to my room? I really can' t move." He said as he begged and pleaded to the two love-dovey aliens. Lum and Kurama looked at Ranma, then each other and then back at the prone pigtailed boy.
"Sooo you're saying that you can't move at all?" Kurama asked.
"Not even a little?" Lum added. Ranma nodded.
"Right now I couldn't move to save my life." He said with an exhausted sigh. Lum and Kurama grinned evilly at that.
"That's all we wanted to know. ~" Lum said as she leaned down and kissed Ranma's cheek.
Kurama did the same to his other cheek. Ranma tried to protest but the two girls just kept kissing his face over and over again. Ranma tried to fight back but he was so drained that he felt like his whole body was a dang lead weight. Lum and Kurama kept kissing his face over and over again and then Lum kissed his lips.
When she got up, Kurama stole a kiss of her own from his lips. This kept going for about a minute or two until Nodoka came down from upstairs.
"Ranma? Are you...home...?" She trailed off as she saw their two alien house guests taking turns smothering her son with kisses. The two aliens stopped what they were doing as they saw Nodoka staring at them.
"Pardon me." Was all she said as she went back up the stairs.
"MOM! WAIT! DON'T LEAVE ME LIKE THIS YOU TRAITOR!" Ranma screamed as he was once again subjected to being kissed to death by his two alien lovers.
Morning came and Ranma felt a little better than he did last night when he got home. He tried to remember how he got in bed as he tried to sit up, only to find that he was being held down by something. Or rather, TWO somethings.
The poor boy nearly had a heart attack as he looked to his left and then his right and saw Lum and Kurama sleeping on either side of him, clutching onto him like he was a human teddy bear. Ranma gulped as he did his best to slip onto from in between the two girls. He eased his way out only for Kurama to grab him and pull him into her bosom.
Ranma blushed like crazy as he fought to keep from having a nosebleed. He managed to swap places with a pillow only for Lum to grab him and pull him to herself. Ranma couldn't help but wonder if the two girls were really asleep or not. The slight snoring proved that they were.
Ranma did his best to pry himself from Lum's grasp, but the girl had a death grip. Finally, he managed to slip out and sneak out of bed, only to be grabbed by two pairs of arms and pulled into another cuddling session by the two sleeping girls. Ranma sighed, he didn't want to this, but he was out of options.
"WAKE UP!" He shouted, causing the two girls to scream and jump in surprise at the loud shout in their ears. Both girls jumped up and Ranma desperately tried to cover his ears. After the screaming stopped, Ranma looked at the two aliens, and nearly fainted at seeing their scantly clad rears in his face.
"Are you two done screaming?" Ranma asked, doing his best to get up and not let the girls see just how much he enjoyed the view he just had.
"Huh? Darling?" Lum asked.
"Sleep well?" Ranma asked, his face still red.
"I was until you screamed in my ear." Kurama said as she nursed her aching ears.
"I'm sorry, but why the heck were you guys sleeping in my bed?" Ranma asked, crossing his arms.
"Well, you were so tired that by the time we brought you to your room you were out cold." Lum started.
"And you just looked so cute while you were sleeping that we just couldn't help but snuggle up to you." Kurama said, trying her best to act cute and innocent.
"Plus since you said you were so sore, we thought that snuggling up to you would keep you nice and warm while you slept." Lum finished.
Ranma couldn't help but shake his head at the two girls. He smiled and sighed.
"Ok, I guess I can't stay mad at you guys. But next time, give a guy a little warning before you decide to spoon him in his sleep, ok?" He asked, scratching the back of his head. The two aliens giggled.
"We'll try." Lum said.
"But no promises." Kurama finished with a wink. After going through their usual morning rituals, the three teens came down for breakfast with a smirking Nodoka waiting for them.
"Soooo...did you have a nice wake up Ranma?" She asked. Ranma blushed at his mother's teasing.
"S-SHUT UP MOM!" Ranma said as he sat down to eat his breakfast. As they eat, Nodoka decided to bring up something she'd been thinking about.
"So, Ranma, I was wondering, besides training, what do you have planned for your Spring break?"
Ranma stopped and thought for a moment. He hadn't noticed that it was so close to Spring break. He took a deep breath as he thought about what he was going to do. Honestly, he hadn't really thought about what to do during the break.
"I really don't know to be honest." He said. "I mean...*sigh* I really just don't know."
Nodoka smiled.
"Well, I have a little idea." She said with a smirk. "If you have no real plans, why don't we all go to the beach?"
"THE BEACH!?" The two space beauties cried out.
"I'd love to go!" Lum said, stars in her eyes.
"Say, isn't that the place where people get to wear skimpy outfits as they splash in the ocean? I've been wanting to go to one ever since I saw one on TV. Ranma, can we go!? I promise I'll wear something sexy. ~" Kurama said leaning in close to the blushing boy.
"Um...I...uh...I guess." Ranma said, trying to lean away from the amorous Tengu.
"Well then, while Ranma's at school today, we girls can go out and do a little shopping! And we'll head to the beach as soon as the first day of Spring break starts." Nodoka said with a smile. Ranma smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm sure it'll be fun. Honestly, I haven't been able to enjoy going to the beach ever since I got cursed back in China. Now that I'm cured, I think I can finally enjoy myself." Ranma said. Kurama tilted her head in confusion.
"Wait, what curse? I'm sure you're not talking about the Neko ken." She said. Ranma scratched the back of his head.
"Oh, right. I guess we never told you about the curse I used to have before we met." Ranma said. The rest of breakfast was spent with Ranma explaining to Kurama about the boy to girl curse he used to have and how Lum cured him of it. Needless to say Kurama was shocked. But her anger for Genma grew when she found out just how stupid the old fart was, seeing how it was all his fault that Ranma got that curse in the first place.
A few days pass, and the first day of Spring break finally came. Ranma smiled as he looked out over the beach. He took in a deep breath and sighed, just how long has it been since he had actually been able to enjoy looking out over the beach and not worry about his curse activating.
"DARLING! ~" Came the sing-song voice of Lum. Ranma turned his head and blushed.
Lum was wearing a one-piece pink and white swimsuit that was open enough in the front to show off her cleavage. Kurama was right beside her and was wearing a simple black bikini. Ranma blushed at the sight of his two girlfriends strutting their stuff.
"Do you like our swimsuits?" Lum asked as she spun around, showing off her curvaceous figure. Kurama giggled and did the same.
"So, do we look hot or what, lover boy?" She said in a seductive tone. Ranma gulped as he tried to compose himself.
"Well, in all honesty...yes. Yes you girls look *wolf whistle*!" Was all he could say, and that made the girls happy.
"Aw! I love seeing you kids all lovey-dovey." Said Nodoka as she walked up to the three love birds.
Nodoka had switched out her usual kimono for a form-fitting navy-blue one-piece swimsuit with various flower patterns all over it. All and all, if anyone were to look at Nodoka at this moment there was only one word that would cross through their minds...MILF. As if to prove this point, Ataru burst out of nowhere and made a mad horny dash for the curvaceous woman.
"HOT DAMN SHE'S SEXY!" He said, only to be met by Ranma striking Ataru with a flying side kick and then poked him in the eyes.
"AAAAGGGGGHHHHH!" Ataru screamed. He didn't lose his eyes, but they would be hurting for a while.
"KEEP YOUR EYES AND HORMONES OFF MY MOTHER!" Ranma screamed. And in the heat of his fury, he dashed around the beach at blinding speeds and poked out the eyes of anyone who was so much as making eyes at his mother. Nodoka shook her head at her son as he slid to a stop in front of her and the alien duo.
"Son, I appreciate the gesture, but was that really necessary." Nodoka asked her panting son. He looked at her with a face that read of spent rage.
"Yes. Yes it was mom." He said as he stood up and took a deep breath. He sighed as he looked towards the ocean.
"But anyway, I'm going to go and take a swim." He said as he rushed off to the water.
"Wait for me Darling!" Lum said as she flew after Ranma.
"Hey! Don't you even think about leaving me behind you two!" Kurama said as she followed her lover and her harem sister. Nodoka shook her head as she smiled at her son and his two girlfriends.
"Aw, to be young and in love." She said as she sighed set up her towel and umbrella. "Oh well, let's see if this mom's still got it going on."
As the single mother was preparing to try her luck, Ranma was diving into the water, loving the fact that the cold water didn't change his gender like how it used to. He took a minute to swim under the water and just relax for a minute. As he broke the surface of the water, he was glomped onto by Kurama, trying to bury his face into her ample bosom.
"Oh Ranma! Don't you know you're supposed to have a buddy whenever you go swimming?" Kurama said in a flirty tone. Ranma was on the verge of a nosebleed when Lum splashed into the water and tried to pull Ranma into her own bosom.
"If a buddy's what you need, then I'm your girl, Darling!" She said, causing Kurama to growl.
"Hey now, wait a minute!" Ranma said, somehow managing to break free of their grasp.
"Can't we all just enjoy our day at the beach without getting into any kind of arguments?" Ranma asked. Lum and Kurama looked at each other for a moment, then looked away from each other with a huff.
"I'm willing to if she is." Lum said.
"I'll do it, but only for you Ranma." Kurama said. Ranma sighed but smiled.
"Well then," he said and then splashed the both of them, while they weren't looking.
"HEY!/AH!" They both cried out.
"Sneak attack! Ha ha ha ha ha!" Ranma said. Both Lum and Kurama growled at their shared boyfriend.
"Oh yeah!" Lum said as she splashed Ranma back.
"Let me at him!" Kurama laughed as she joined in.
The three teens laughed as they played around like children. Ranma couldn't remember the last time he had this much fun at the beach. And seeing his two girlfriends smiling and laughing only made him happier. But he had a hard time keeping himself from staring at their soaking wet bodies and how their wet swimsuits clung to their shapely forms even more than did, originally.
But in all honesty, he didn't really care. He was having too much fun! Deciding to spice things up, he backflipped into the air and dive bombed into a cannon ball! Both girls shrieked as the big splash he created drenched them both. Ranma laughed as he looked at the scowling faces of his two lovers.
"Oh YOU!" Lum said as she tackled Ranma, only for him to hold her off.
"Nice try," he said.
"Out of the way LUM!" Kurama said as she conjured up a huge gust of wind and used it to send a small wave at Ranma. Lum gave out a 'Yipe!' and flew high to avoid it, but Ranma was so caught off guard that he took the wave right in the face. After the wave past, Ranma popped his head up from the water and spit out some that had gotten in his mouth as he glared at the two aliens who were laughing at him.
"Oh hardy har har you two." He said as he tried to leap at the two laughing alien beauties.
And it went on like this for a while, Ranma, Lum and Kurama enjoying their time together and, once in a while, Lum and Kurama managed to cuddle up to Ranma and have a brief make-out session with him. Poor Ranma was blushing red when he finally managed to haul himself back to shore.
"Well, that was fun." He said, taking a towel to dry himself off.
"Yeah!" Lum said enthusiastically as she and Kurama did the same. Kurama, however, got a mischievous glint in her eye as an idea popped into her head.
"Oh Ranma-baby~," she said as she pressed her breasts onto Ranma's exposed back.
"HUH!?" Ranma cried out as Kurama started rubbing her boobs on his back.
"I'm so cold. Why don't we just snuggle in the sun, hmm?" She said as she seductively blew into the blushing boy's ear. Lum, not wanting to be outdone by her bustier rival, went up to Ranma and did the same thing but to his chest.
"Darling~. Why don't WE snuggle together, huh?" She said as she rubbed her breasts on Ranma's chest.
Poor Ranma was sure he was about to die of a hormone seizure as his two cute, hot and sexy alien girlfriends sandwiched him between themselves. Gulping hard, he tried desperately to find a way out of the predicament he was in.
"Uhhh! OH! I...um...think I need to...just take a walk!" He said as he made a mad dash to get away from the curvaceous women.
"DARLING!" They both called out as Ranma ran as fast as he could.
"Oh poo." Kurama said with a huff. "We had him!"
"Don't worry. He'll have to come back sooner or later." Lum said.
Back with Ranma, he was huffing and puffing as he tried to calm down from his experience with the curvy aliens. He did his best to control his breathing and get his hormones back under control. He loved those two but still, the way they kept using their sex appeal to get him hot and bothered...
'I'm not sure if I can take much more of those two doing this to me. I don't even know how I can stand it for this long without losing control of myself.' Ranma thought to himself. As he clamed himself down, he looked where he was and blinked in surprise.
"Huh? A seaside cafe?" He said to himself. He looked the place over and started walking around. Then suddenly...
"AAAHHHH!" He screamed as he saw someone in front of him, but then sighed in realization as he saw that it was his own reflection.
"Oh, mirror." He said as he used his hand to brush his hair from his bangs and used the mirror to fix it up. He was about to walk away when he realized something, looking back at the reflection, Ranma noticed that "the man in the mirror" was not only missing his pigtail but also was wearing different clothes and had brown eyes instead of his usual blue.
"Those aren't my eyes." He said, hearing a slight echo. "And where's my pigtail?"
Ranma squinted his eyes at the reflection as it did the same. He stuck out his tongue and the 'reflection' did the same. He pulled down his eyelid, made antlers with his hands as he made noises, and made other faces at the mixed up 'reflection' and it did the same. They moved side to side, Ranma doing all kinds of dumb moves to see if he really was looking at a mirror.
After a while, Ranma and the 'reflection' turned their backs to each other and stroked their chins as they thought for a moment. Ranma grinned and snapped his fingers as an idea came to his head. He started whistling as his 'reflection' did the same, only for the two of them to throw a punch and each other only for Ranma to counter it, grab his doubleganger and throw him to the ground and start to grapple him.
"AHA! I knew you weren't me you fake!" He said as he tried to pin down the arms of his supposed twin.
"Fake!? You're the only fake here you creep!" Said his twin as they fought each other. But thanks to his training at the Kazama dojo, Ranma's grappling skills had improved to the point that restraining this copy cat was almost no problem.
"DARLING!" Came Lum's voice as she came flying towards where Ranma and his double were wrestling.
"Ranma! Where are...you...?" Kurama asked but trailed off as both she and Lum came to a stop as they saw TWO Ranma's staring right back at them. One with brown eyes pinned under the one they came here with, the one with blue eyes and a pigtail.
"T..T...TWO DARLINGS!?" Lum cried out in shock as her eyes nearly bulged out of her head.
"I've had a dream like this once..." Kurama said as a blush came to her face. Ranma and his double both blushed at the Tengu girl's words.
"Um...what is she talking about?" His brown eyed look-a-like asked. Ranma shook his head.
"I don't think I want to know." He said as his hand slipped and landed on his opponents' chest.
"HEY! GET YOUR HAND OFF THERE!" His double said. Ranma registered where his hand was and about to say something when he started to feel something off. And when it clicked in his brain, he went red and stated to freak out as he jumped up in shock!
"YEAAAAHHHHH!" He said. "He-HE'S A SHE!"
"WHAT!?" The two alien girls cried out as Ranma's look-a-like got back up to her feet.
"Of course I'm a woman you BAKA!" Said the look-a-like as she threw a punch at Ranma that would have done Akane proud. Ranma managed to dodge the punch on instinct and rolled away to get some distance between himself and the girl who looked like she could be his twin.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Wait a minute!" Ranma said, holding up his hands to try and passify the strange woman. Before his twin could say anything, she was caught off guard by Kurama dashing toward her and pulled up the girl's shirt to show that she did indeed have boobs that were covered by bandages.
"She IS A GIRL!" Kurama cried out. The Ranma-looking girl pulled her shirt down and glared at the Tengu girl.
"What did you expect lady!" She screamed.
"Darling, you never told us you had a twin sister." Lum said to the shell shocked Ranma.
"But I don't!" He said. "At least, I don't think I do."
"RYUUNOSUKE!" Came the scream of someone else's voice.
All four teens looked to where the noise came from and saw a man who looked to be somewhere in his late 30s and run up to Ranma and tried to hit him with a flying side kick. Ranma saw it coming a mile away and he and Lum just side stepped the man as he flew right past them. The man got up and ran right towards Ranma and got right in his face as he started screaming at him.
"What the big idea running around with girls when you're supposed to be helping me with the cafe!" He screamed at Ranma.
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT OLD MAN!" Ranma screamed back. It was then that the man got a good look at Ranma.
"Wait a minute...you're not Ryuunosuke. But you do look a hell of a lot like him though." The man said, only to be kicked but the girl who looked like Ranma.
"I'm a WOMAN DAMMIT!" She said.
"Oh, there you are Ryuunosuke." The man said as he noticed the Ranma look-a-like, who apparently was named Ryuunosuke.
"Um, excuse me, but why did you call this girl your son?" Lum asked.
"Because he is my son, duh." Was all the man said.
"Uh dude, I'm pretty sure your so called son is a girl." Ranma said with a look that suggested that he thought this man might be insane.
"Yeah, boys don't have boobs on their chests pal." Kurama said.
"That's just a couple of tumors that were never treated." The man said, causing Ranma and his companions to face fault as Ryuunosuke slugged her dad across the face.
"What is WRONG WITH YOU OLD MAN!?" Ryuunosuke said. Her father shook off the pain and glared at his daughter.
"What's wrong with me!? What's wrong with you!? You're always going off doing something else when you're supposed to be learning how to take over the cafe!" Ryuunosuke's father said as he and his daughter started growling at each other.
"Like I want to be stuck here being a lonely hermit like you for the rest of my life!" Ryuunosuke said as she and her dad started fighting.
"Oh my lord." Ranma said. "Those two are like me and MY old man."
"You know what...you're right!" Lum said in shock. Even Kurama was caught off guard.
"For real!? I mean, I know you and your bastard of an old man don't get along and all, but was your relationship REALLY like THIS!?" She asked. Ranma looked at her.
"In a word, yes." He said as they watched Ryuunosuke and her dad fight out their differences. All the while, Ranma kept having flashbacks of all the times he and his father would fight.
"AHA! I found you Ranma!"
Ranma froze and went stiff as a board at hearing that voice. He and the others looked and saw none other than the purple haired Amazon warrior Shampoo standing not too far away and charging right at them.
"Shampoo!" Ranma exclaimed.
"Who?" Kurama asked. Ryuunosuke growled as she charged to intercept the advancing Amazon.
"Wait, why is she going after that girl who looks like you and not you Darling?" Lum asked.
"I don't know." Ranma said as he thought for a moment. But then it hit him.
"Oh god...she thinks that woman is my female form!" Ranma said causing Lum and Kurama to gasp.
"Ok, I'm out of the loop here. Could one of you PLEASE explain to me what the heck is going on here?" The Tengu girl asked.
"Well, remember when we were telling you about that curse that Darling used to have? (Kurama nods) Well, back when he first got it, he and his dad accidentally ticked off that Amazon girl over there and she challenged Darling to a fight. He beat her and she swore to hunt him down and kill him to avenge her honor. But she only knows Darling as a girl and not as a man so since that Ryuunosuke girl looks like Darling, she must think that she's Darling's cursed form." Lum explianed.
"Ooooohhhhh..." Kurama said, slowly starting to get the whole picture. "So, um...should we do something then? You know, to help that girl out?"
As they were talking, Ryuunosuke clashed with said purple haired Amazon in a fierce exchange of punches and kicks. Shampoo came in fast with some quick and powerful punches, palm strikes, and kicks that varied from high to low to spinning heel kicks and even a few ariel kicks. Ryuunosuke managed to block most of the Amazon's attacks and caught Shampoo's last kick and used the purple haired girl's momentum to take her down and go for a lock.
Shampoo threw sand in the raven-haired girl's face and lashed out with spinning kick to the head. Temporarily blinded by the sand, Ryuunosuke wasn't able to block the kick and went rolling across the ground. Seeing the Amazon coming again, Ryuunosuke did a cartwheel mule kick that landed and sent the Amazon to the ground.
They both flipped back to their feet and dashed towards each other again. Ryuunosuke blocked Shampoo's chop and punch combo and landed an uppercut to her gut followed by an upwards elbow followed by a cross elbow, elbow to the chest and then a head throw that sent Shampoo back to the ground. Shampoo kicked at Ryuunosuke who blocked the kick but was unprepared for Shampoo did a breakdancing style spin kick move that knocked her back.
Getting back to her feet, Ryuunosuke threw her own punches at Shampoo who blocked and parried the tomboy girls' blows, struck her with a knee strike before doing her own throw. Shampoo then came at Ryuunosuke with a flipping axe kick, but she rolled out of the way and did a spinning handstand kick.
Shampoo dodged but was caught off guard by Ryuunosuke's overhead punch which was a feint to hide her follow up uppercut. Shampoo felt her chin get hit hard before Ryuunosuke followed it up with a side kick and back kick. As Shampoo clutched her stomach in pain, Ryuunosuke came in with a barrage of blows: a front snap kick, two straight punches, a knee strike, a low sweep and then a jump spinning kick.
Shampoo did her best to dodge each of the tomboy girl's blows and did her own uppercut after Ryuunosuke's jump spinning kick. Once her blow connected, Shampoo struck with her own barrage of kicks and knocked the other girl down again. But before she could charge in to finish the fight, a huge gust of wind struck and blew her away. She screamed as she was carried into the air and flew away to who knows where. Ryuunosuke looked on in confusion as the strange gust of wind blew the Amazon away.
"What the...?" She said as she scratched the back of her head.
"Sorry about that, but it looked like you needed some help." Came a voice from behinde her. She turned around and saw that the one who spoke was the girl with blackk hair styled like wings on her head.
"Hey! I didn't need your help, I've handeled that girl a bunch of times! I could have beaten her without your help!" Ryuunosuke said.
"Yeah well..." Came the voice of the pigtailed boy who could pass for her twin. "But, um..."
Then out of no where, he bowed to her.
"I'm sorry, but I think that woman attacking you is my fault." Ranma said, causing Ryuunosuke to tilt her in confusion.
"Huh?"
A few minutes later, Ranma, Lum and Kurama were sitting at the Cafe owned by Ryuunosuke and her dad.
"Whoa, so you guys own and run this Cafe?" Lum asked.
"That's right little lady." Mr. Fujinami said. "This little cafe has a long history in our family, stretching back three generations. And my son here, Ryuunosuke is the fourth generation."
"I'M A WOMAN DUMBASS!" Ryuunosuke said as she smashed a crate full of sodas on top of her father's thick head. "And I ain't taking over the family biz, either! This shithole can DIE with you for all I care."
"You chowder head! Why can't you see that I'm trying to secure your future!" Mr. Fujinami screamed back at his daughter as they started brawling in front of the three teens.
"Control it and leave my feelings out of it, you mean! You JACKASS!"
"Wow, they almost seem like you and your dad, Darling." Lum said. Ranma nodded his head.
"I know. This feels too much like freaking de ja vu." Ranma said as he watched what almost seemed like a scene from his own life.
As they were watching, Ryuunosuke managed to land a spinning heel kick to her father's head and then smashed him with a chair. Ranma and the others could only whistle as they applauded the young woman.
"Ranma, are you sure that you and this girl aren't related? Like, maybe even just a little?" Kurama asked her boyfriend.
"I'm pretty sure." He answered. "I mean, mom said that she only had the one kid. And I can't for the life of me see pop scoring with ANYBODY."
"So, what was it you were saying about that purple haired woman attacking me being your fault?" Ryuunosuke asked as she took a seat in front of the three teens. Ranma sighed as he got ready to explain.
"Well, ya see.."
And with that, Ranma started to explain his early life to Ryuunosuke. To say she was shocked was an understatement. She had heard about the guy who saved the Earth in a game of tag with an alien, but in all honesty she thought it was a hoax. And yet here was the very man himself, and his two gorgeous alien girlfriends to prove it.
Not only that, but apparently his relationship with his father mirrored hers to such an extent that even SHE was starting to wonder if they were related on some level. But when he got to the part about China, that's when she started to have a hard time believing his story. Mostly about a cursed spring that could turn people into women or pandas.
'Then again, I'd sure like to turn my old man into an animal and sell him off to a zoo or something. It might just get him off my back forever.' She thought to herself. But when Ranma got to the part about Shampoo the Amazon, that's when her eyes went wide.
"So wait, let me get this straight. That crazy woman is only attacking me because she thinks I'm you?" She asked. Ranma nodded.
"Yeah. Well, the female version of me that knocked her out cold anyway." He said. Lum nodded.
"Yeah, look see. Here's a picture of what Darling looked like when he still had his curse."
And with that, Lum pulled out a picture of Ranma's red headed female form. Ranma tilted his head in confusion and turned to look at Lum.
"Say, where the heck did you pull that from?" He askd. Lum just smiled as she looked at her boyfriend.
"Well, I have an interdimensional pocket linened inside my clothing in case of emergancies." She said. Ranma, Ryuunosuke, her father and even Kurama all whistled at that. The two Fujinami's then turned to look at the picture and gasped in shock. Female Ranma did indeed look like a hair dyed version of Ryuunosuke.
"Whoa..." Ranma's look-a-like said in aw. "You were pretty." She said. Ranma couldn't help but blush and take a little bit of pride.
"Yeah, well..." Was all he could say.
"But anyway," He went on. "I just wanted to appalagize. After Lum-can here cured me of my gender swaping curse, I thought that crazy Amazon would have split back to China. I had no idea she'd find someone who looked like me and chase after you instead. So...gomennasai, Ryuunosuke." He said with a bow. Ryuunosuke was taken aback.
"Uh...n-no, it's okay. I mean, you didn't know you and I looked alike. It's not entirely your fault." She said to the bowing pigtailed boy.
"Either way..." Mr. Fujinami started to say. "THIS IS STILL YOUR FAULT! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIME THAT WOMAN HAS CRASHED IN HERE RUINING OUR BUSINESS!?" The older man screamed as a wave somehow materialized behind him.
"BACK OFF OLD MAN/YOU JERK!" All three girls shouted as they kicked Mr. Fujinami at the same time. The older man went flying and crashed into the back of the shop as the three girls all crossed their arms over their chests and huffed.
"Jerk." Kurama said.
"Yeah, that's the way my old man is. If something doesn't go his way he takes it out on either me or everyone else." Ryuunosuke said.
"Sheesh. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear your dad and mine were either brothers or one in the same." Ranma said as he got up to stand by the girls.
"From the way you talk about him, I wouldn't be surprised." Ryuunosuke said as she and Ranma looked each other in the eye.
"Yeah. You know, in a crazy way..." Ranma trailed off.
"...Our lives are kind of..." Ryuunosuke added on.
"Similar..." They both said...and then hugged each other.
"Sister!"
"Brother!"
They both called out as a wave effect appeared behind them. Lum and Kurama tilted their heads in confusion at the sight before the wave vanished as quickly as it appeared. Shaking their heads and coughing loudly to make their annoyance known to the two look-a-likes, Ranma and Ryuunosuke seperated from each other and chuckled sheepishly.
"So...uh...you think you got any good ideas for how to ditch that Amazon nut loaf?" Ryuunosuke asked. Ranma thought for a moment.
"Honestly, I'm not really sure. Back when she was chasing me, I tried everything I could think of to ditch that crazy chick. No matter how many times I thought I'd seen the last of her...BAM! There she was again. When those Amazons say they'll chase you to the ends of the world, they mean it."
All four teens sighed as they tried to think of a way out of the mess they were in. After about a minute of silence, Kuama spoke up.
"It's too bad you don't still have your curse Ranma. If you did, maybe we could have you show up, confuse that qsycho and fake your death so she'd leave everyone alone." She said out loud. After hearing that, Lum's eyes went wide as an idea came to her head.
"Well, actually..." She started to say as all eyes fell on her. "I do still have the gun that I used to cure Darling. If I fiddle with it, I should be able to flip it to reverse and..."
"Oh NO you DON'T!" Ranma snapped, already knowing where this was going. "I JUST got used to not having that stupid curse, and I am not, repeat, NOT going to let you give it back to me now! No way! Uh-uh! End of story! Not! Gonna! HAPPEN!" He said, crossing his arms in defiance.
"Oh come on Darling!" Lum said. "It would just only be for a little while. Just enough to trick that Shampoo girl and I'd change you right back."
"I ain't doing it, I said!" Ranma retorted.
"So what!? Your sorry for getting me into this mess but you're not going to take one for the team!?" Ryuunosuke said.
"I'm sorry but not THAT sorry. And if you were cursed, you'd feel the same way too." He said. Kurama started pouting at her boyfriend.
"Come on..." She started.
"N. O. NO!" He said. All three girls glared at him before Kurama grabbed Lum and Ryuunosuke and pulled them to the side.
"Ok, there's only one way to get Ranma to do something when he's being THIS stuborn." She said. Lum nodded.
"The Doomsday option." She said. Ryuunosuke looked at the two aliens in confusion.
"Uh...I'm sorry but...what's 'The Doomsday Option'?" She asked. Ranma watched the three girls whisper to each other. He just squinted in annoyance at the three.
'No matter what they say or do, I'm not doing it. I'm not going to let myself get cursed ever again! Nope. Never. Not happening!' He thought to himself.
No sooner had he thought that, all three girls turned to look at him...and were giving him the puppy dog eyes!
'OH NO! NOT THAT!' Ranma thought to himself as all three girls came up to him and starting pouting and looking too cute and innocent. All three of them were trembling their lips while Lum was looking like she was on the verge of tears.
"Please Ranma/Darling..." They all said as Ranma tried his best not to give in.
He clinched his eyes shut, turned his head and grit his teeth. He HAD to be strong. MONTHS he'd gone without his stupid curse and he LIKED IT! No way, no how were a couple of cute, pouting girls going to make him go back to being a gender swaping aqua-transexual. Nope, no way.
"Pwease Ranma/Darling..." They all said, trying to use baby talk to make their plea more impossible to resist. Ranma ground his teeth as he fought to hold his stand. He had too!
"DOOOHHHH! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I'LL DO IT! JUST STOP WITH THE EYES ALREADY! THEY BURN!" He said as he gave up. All three girls stopped pouting and smiled at the beaten martial arts prodigy.
"Thank you Darling." Lum said as she flew off to call her spaceship to their location and get the cure gun off of it.
"Wow! So that's the legendary Puppy Dog Eye Jutsu. I've always heard of girls being able to get guys to do stuff using that move but I never thought I'd be able to use it on someone myself! Girls are amazing!" Ryuunosuke said with stars in her eyes. Kurama smirked at her new found friend.
"Yep, turst me girlfriend. Stick with us and we'll teach ya a thing or two." Kurama said as she draped an arm over the tomboyish girls' shoulder.
"Stupid Puppy Dog Eye move. I outa strangle the woman who invented that stupid trick. If she were still alive." Ranma muttered to himself.
A few minutes later, Lum flew back to the cafe with the gun in her hands. As she flew down, she saw Shampoo racing across the beach, most likely looking for Ryuunosuke. This wasn't good, she had to get to Ranma fast and use the gun to turn him into a girl so he and Ryuunosuke could switch out. As she flew down she saw Kurama pratically struggling with Ranma.
"Hey now wait a minute. Can't we talk about this? You know, come up with another plan?" Ranma tried desperatly to say as Kurama and Ryuunosuke pushed him towards the decending Oni.
"Oh, take like a man. Ok Lum, let him have it." Kurama said as she and Ryuunsouke held Ranma in front of Lum. Lum cracked her neck and took aim.
"Lum-chan! Wait a minute!" Ranma tried to say. But sadly for him, his pleads fell on deff ears as Lum fired her gun and hit Ranma dead on. Kurama and Ryuunosuke closed their eyes to keep form getting blinded by the light. As they did, they flet Ranma's body start to change in her hands until...Kurama flet two very sofy, very large mounds in her hands.
"Are you going to let go of my tatas or just keep grouping me?" Came a very annoyed female voice. Kurama and Ryuunosuke opened their eyes and saw to their shock a red-headed female Ranma...and Kurama's hands were on Ranma's large breasts.
"Whoa..." She said as she absentmindedly gave them a few quick squeazes. "Th-their so big...and soft..."
Ranma growled as she grabbed Kurama's hands and put her in a painful fionger lock. Kurama cried in pain as her gender swapped boyfriend brought her to the ground.
"Just to let you know, while I get that YOU like me grouping you, I on the other hand DON'T LIKE BEING GROUPED!" Ranma said as she turned around to face her Tengu girlfriend.
"Sorry sorry sorry sorry! OOOOWWWWW!" She said.
'So this is what it's like to be on the other end.' Kurama thought to herself as Ranma let her go.
"Whoa..." Ryuunosuke said as she oggled at Ranma's female body. "You're...you're so...wow..."
Ranma blushed at the praise. He hated being a girl but he was still susceptable to flattery just like any other girl.
"Well, thanks." She said, only to find Ryuunosuke's hands grouping his "bosom".
"Wow, their as big as mine! What are you, a G-cup?" Ryuunosuke asked. Ranma's eyes started twitching as she glared at her twin. Before she knew it, Ryuunosuke suffered the same fate as Kurama.
"Ow ow ow ow ow ow!" She said as she was taken down. Lum shook her head, it was just like when she first met Darling and learned of his curse. Then she and Kurama's eyes both went wide as something Ryuunosuke said regestered in their brains.
"Wait..." Lum said.
"YOU'RE A G-GUP!?" Both Kurama and Lum shouted out loud at both Ranma and Ryuunosuke
"Phh, I don't know, I nevered measured myself." Ranma said as she let go of Ryuunosuke.
"Um, well, yeah. I mean, that's what I found out when I last measured my breasts before I put on this stupid chest binding wrap on." Ryuunosuke said. Lum and Kurama were at this point glaring daggers at the poor tomboy.
"Look, can we just forget about your breast envy for a minute and let's just get this over with?" Ranma asked as she marched off to see if Shampoo was getting closer.
"Oh! And Lum-chan, guard that gun with your life. I've got a bad feeling that something bad might happen to that thing the longer I'm a girl and I DO NOT want to be stuck with this curse again!"
"Oh Darling, don't be silly." Lum said. "I'm sure you're just being paronoid..."
Lum was cut off by the wall of the cafe that they were close to falling right next to them. If Lum had been standing just a few steps closer, she and the gun would have been flattened! Lum gulped as she realized just how close she just came to being crushed.
"Ok that was weird." Kurama said.
"Yeah, that wall was one of the only parts of the cafe that hasn't been trasehd lately." Ryuunosuke said.
"SEE!? I told you!" Ranma said as Lum gulped.
"W-Well...I'm sure that it was just a coincidence..." Lum said, only for Mr. Fujinami to ride in on a wave from no where and try to take the gun from Lum.
"Well, if this gun can turn girls into boys and do the reverse, I'm sure it'll cure you too Ryuunosuke! Now man up and live like a MAN!" He said only to get blasted by Lum and blown away by Kurama before he could take the gun from Lum.
"What a creep! He can't accept that his only child is a girl and now he'd go so far as to try and FORCE her to be a man!?" Kurama asked. Ranma and Ryuunosuke growled at the creep.
"If I see that guy again..." Ranma trailed off before turning back towards Lum.
"NOW do you see!? I'm telling you, the universe almost seems to WANT something to happen to that gun! You NEED to be more carefully about protecting it Lum-chan!" Ranma said as Lum chuckled nervously.
"I-I'm sure it was just a..." She was cut off by a small explosion coming from the cafe. An explosion that was right next to the side of her that had the gun.
"What the!? But we just fixed that busted pipe by the fryer!" Ryuunosuke said as she ran for the fire extinguisher. Ranma looked towards Lum who gulped.
"Uh...Ok. I get it. Guard this gun with my life." She said.
A few minutes later, Ryuunosuke was whistling innocently as she waited for Shampoo to make her return. She really didn't like being used as live bait, but if this crazy plan she and the others came up with was going to work and get rid of that Amazon for good, then she had to be the first one to be on the battlefield. She sucked in a deep breath and sighed but then her danger sense went off as she turned to catch a few shuriken that were flying at her face. She tossed the stars aside as she glared at the Amazon.
"Aha! Shampoo find you Ranma! Shampoo no know how you blew her away last time, but this time she ready for you." Said the purple-haired Amazon as she leapt at Ryuunosuke. Said tomboyish girl growled as she rolled to avoid the Amazon woman's attack.
"I keep telling you, you crazy bitch! I'm! Not! RANMA!" She said as she blocked Shampoo's next strike with her signiture maces.
"You think Shampoo stupid? You may cut and dye hair to look different, but Shampoo know you is Ranma. So stop running and face Shampoo like warrior!" Shampoo said as she took a few more swipes at Ryuunosuke only to hear another voice from behind her.
"HEY YOU DUMB BITCH! I'M UP HERE!"
Shampoo gains a look of shock and turns her head to see the very red-head she had been hunting down for so long making faces at her from a nearby sand dune. Shampoo gawked at the sight and then started darting her head back and forth between the woman she was fighting and the red-head.
"Huh...?" Was all she could say.
"SEE!? I told you a million times, you got the wrong girl! That's the chick you're looking for!" Ryuunosuke said to the Amazon who just went limp.
"Shampoo make boo-boo." She said as she disengages form Ryuunosuke and and chases after Ranma. "You make fool of Shampoo with fake, but now she get you for sure Ranma!"
Ranma couldn't help but giggle as she ran from the kill crazy Amazon. Ryuunosuke just shook her head as the two females (one really being a male) ran off to who knows where. But as she was recomposing herself, she heard Lum scream in rage and turned to see her father trying to steal the curse cure gun from the alien girl.
"HEY! What the heck old man! What are you doing!?" She screamed.
"If this gun can turn boys into girls, then maybe it can cure you of your stupid obsession with being a girl and make a decent MAN out of you!" He said as he jumped at Lum who took off into the air to avoid the crazy man. Ryuunosuke couldn't help but pinch her nose and growl at her idiot of a father.
"You bozo!" She screamed as she took off in a sprint and nailed her father in the gut with a flying side kick. "Weren't paying attention to earlier!? That gun only cures someone who is cursed to turn into a girl when their really a man and only curses boys to turn into girls! It wouldn't work on me because I was never curesed! You moron!"
"That's right!" Lum said with a nod. "This gun isn't some normal sex changing gun! It doesn't work like that!"
"I have to try!" Mr. Fujinami said as he got up. "I made a promise to my wife to raise Ryuunosuke to be a man! And if gambeling on that gun is what it takes to smack some sense into his head, SO BE IT! A REAL MAN NEVER GIVES UP!"
And with that, Fujinami came at the two girls with everything he had. Ryuunosuke was expecting to have to face her father alone, as she was used to, but she wasn't expecting Lum to fly right back at him and do a spinning heel kick while in mid-air. Fujinami saw it coming however and bent back to avoid the kick, but he didn't expect Lum to follow it up with a mid-air front flipping axe kick right to his face.
Fujinami took the kick full force and coughed hard as Lum slammed her elbow into his solar plexus. Ryuunosuke was shocked, she didn't know the alien oni could fight. Lum got up and glared at the older man and she kicked sand into his face.
"I made this gun to help my Darling, so you better back off if you know what's good for you, ya creep!" She said as she turned her back to leave. Big mistake.
Fujinami got up and snatched the gun from Lum's hand and was about to turn it on Ryuunosuke, but Lum smashed him in the cheek with a palm heel strike and followed by a shop to the side of the neck, which Fujinami managed to block.
"Why you little!" He started to say as he used his free hand to grab Lum's wrist and twist it painfully. Lum gasped in pain as she shot a knee to Fujinami's crotch and twisted his wrist into a reverse lock and kicked him in the face.
As she tried to go for another lock, Fujinami slipped out and did a low spinning sweep kick that knocked Lum to the ground. He was about to continue his attack but felt it get harder to breath as Ryuunosuke got him in a full nelson from behind. She choked him and then smashed her elbow into his head before kicking him in the back of the knee to drag him down.
"LUM! Get the gun!" She said as she did her best to hold her father down.
"Right!" Lum said as she got up and ran to the two Fujinamis and swiped the gun out of the older Fujinami's hand.
"No!" He said as he slipped out of Ryuunosuke's grasp and got to his feet to go after Lum.
Lum turned on her heel and lashed out with few palm strikes and kicks. Fujinami wasn't expecting this girl to be a fighter, but that wasn't going to stop him. He blocked and parried Lum's strikes and thought she was going for a high kick, but wasn't expecting her to duck low and go for a sweep of her own.
Sadly, he jumped over it and came down with a punch that would have broken bones if she hadn't dodged. Lum struck out with a backfist but Fujinami caught her strike and struck her elbow with his own and kicked her foot from under her and twisted her wrist to take her down. He was about to strike her in the stomach with a strong downward punch but was knocked to the side by a round house kick from Ryuunosuke.
"Damn Lum, I didn't know you could fight." Ryuunosuke said, obviously impressed. Lum shook her wrist and got up.
"Yeah, Darling's been training me, but it looks like I'm not good enough to beat this guy yet." She said.
"Don't feel to bad. Dad may not look like much, but he's been training in Mishima Kakuto Ryu Karate for years. You sould be lucky he tends to hold back against women. Well, except for me." Ryuunosuke said as she took up a fighting stance as he dad got back up.
"Well, now that he doesn't have..." Lum was saying with a smirk, but lost her smirk when she realized...
"HUH!? Th-the gun is gone!"
"Say what!?" Ryuunosuke said. The two girls turned to look at Fujinami as he laughed and held up the gun in question.
"Looking for this!?" He said with a dark smile on his face. The two girls growled at the man.
"How the!?" Lum asked in shock.
"He must've taken it from you when he took you down on that last move." Ryuunosuke said as she growled.
"Darn it. As long as he's holding the gun I can't blast him with my lightning." Lum said, catching Ryuunosuke off guard.
"Wait, you can really do that!?"
"YOU'RE WIDE OPEN!" Fujinami cried as he flew at Ryuunosuke with a barrage of kicks, starting with a jump spinning heel kick that transitioned into a low a low spinning sweep kick and then to a standing spinning heel kick.
"Crap!" Ryuunosuke said as she ducked the first kick and back peddled away to avoid the next two.
Lum came in with some chopping hand strikes and thrusting palm strikes as she tried to recall all the Piguachuan moves Ranma had taught her. Fujinami easily avoided her attacks but was too distracted to notice Ryuunosuke grabbing his wrist and punching him in the ribs before doing a wrist throw to take him down.
"Give me the gun old man!" She screamed as she went for the gun, only to get kicked but Fujinami as he got back to his feet.
"You'll thank me for this later son!" He said as he took aim, only to be kneed in the back by Lum who then grabbed his arms and pulled them back as she planted both of her feet into the man's back.
"Ryuunosuke!" She called.
"On it!" Ryuunosuke said as she charged in and let loose a barrage of punches, elbows and knee strikes on her bound father.
"Let go!" Ryuunosuke said. Lum released her grip and Ryuunosuke did a hip throw on her father and snatched the gun from his hand.
"Hey!" He cride as he got up and attacked Ryuunosuke again. "Give that back you spoiled brat!"
"Screw you." She said as she blocked a few punches from her father.
Fujinami threw a hook punch follwed by two low kicks to Ryuunosuke's knees and followed up with an axe kick. Ryuunosuke bobbed away from the hook punch but got hit by the low kicks to her own legs. She went down in pain and saw the axe kick coming down. Panicing, she did a high X block to stop the kick and as she fought to keep the kick from connecting, Lum flew in with flying side kick of her own.
Fujinami dive rolled to the side to avoid the kick and counter attacked with a quick series of punches and kicks to the alien girl. Lum did her best to block and when she saw an opening, she fired a blast of electricity at the man at point blank range.
Fujinami cried in pain as he was fried by the teal haired woman from space. And as the blast died away, Ryuunosuke took the oppertunity to go at her father for a finishing move to end this stupid fight. She charged at her father and launched one last flying side kick straight at his head.
"NOW YOU'RE WIDE OPEN!" She cried as she smashed the back of her father's head. And to add to it, Lum did her own flying kick to Fujinami's face at the same time.
"Let me at him too!" Lum cried as their kicks connected simaltainiously. As the two landed back on the ground, they looked at Fujinami who was still standing but looked out cold. Lum leaned up to him, took a deep breath, and just blew on him, causing the man to fall to the ground.
"Good redance." Lum said as she wiped the sweat form her forhead.
"Stupid old man. Lum, are you ok?" Ryuunosuke asked. Lum nodded.
"A few brusies, but I'm ok." She said with a smile. Ryuunosuke smiles and hands Lum the gun.
"Here. Sheesh, maybe Ranma was right. It's almost like the universe really wants this gun to not end up curing Ranma again." She said. Lum sighed as she took the gun back.
"Yeah. I hope Darling comes back soon. I'm not sure I can go through another fight like that."
Meanwhile back with Ranma, the man turned girl was still running from the kill crazy Amazon. He ran as far as he could, looking for the one spot he needed to get to in order to pull off his plan. Soon, he reached a cliff face overlooking the ocean. She tried to hide her smirk as she stared down her stalker-assassin.
"Now Shampoo have you Ranma. Now we settle this!" Shampoo said as she took a few steps towards her enemy.
"STOP!" Ranma said, holding up her hand.
"I can't take it anymore! You've chased me all over Japan, China, Okinawa. Everywhere I go, I keep having to look over my shoulder. Wondering, always wondering, where's Shampoo? Where is she? Is she over here? Over there? Everyday I'm always on guard! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I'm putting an end to it all!" She said in an over dramatic fashion as she turned her back to Shampoo and looked over the cliff into the ocean below.
"You no fool Shampoo. Shampoo know you no have guts to take own life." Said the Amazon as she took a few steps closer to Ranma.
"Clearly you don't know us Japanese very well." She said.
"You no get away that easy pigtailed girl!" Shampoo said as she took off in a charge at Ranma.
"That's what you think. Farewell cruel world!" Ranma said as she jumped over the edge.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Aiyah!" Shampoo screamed as she ran to the cliff edge and looked down, only to see a splash at the bottom of the cliff. Shampoo went slightly pale at the thought of what just happened.
"Aiyah...she did it. She actually jumped." She said as she fell back onto her rear, her mind reeling from what she had just saw. Her prey who she had chased for over two countries was gone, but not in the way she wanted.
"Well...Shampoo guess that that." She said as she got up and brought her hands together in prayer.
"*Farewell Ranma.*" She said in her native Chinese. "*May your soul find peace in the next life, my worthy foe.*"
And with that, Shampoo turned her back to the cliff face and headed away to wherever the wind would take her next. Little did the young Amazon assassin know, that only a few feet below the cliff edge, Ranma had been caught by Kurama and was being held out of sight.
"Heheheheh. Hook, line and sucker." Ranma said as she snickered at how her plan had worked.
"I've got to say Ranma-kun, I wasn't expecting her to fall for that one so easily. Pun not intended." Kurama said with a little giggle of her own.
"Ok, now that that's finished, let's get back to Lum-chan and Ryuunosuke so I can change back to being a guy." Ranma said. Kurama nodded.
"Righto. Honestly, I prefer you as a guy anyway Ranma-kun. But I've got to ask," Kurama said as she took off to head back to where they left Lum and Ryuunosuke.
"Why the heck do you have to be so busty?" She asked with an air of irritation. Ranma was taken aback by the question his/her girlfriend just asked.
"How the heck should I know? I mean, it's not like I asked to look this sexy as a girl." She said.
"Although, to be fair, I think it might have something to do with the transfer of my guy forms muscle and height mass. I mean, as a girl I'm not as tall or muscular as I am when I'm a guy so, I guess all that extra mass had to go somewhere." She said as she cupped her own bosom.
"That's not the only place it went to." Kurama said as she gave Ranma's butt a light, playful kick.
"HEY! Watch it!" Ranma said blushing at what Kurama just did.
"Oh, I would but I'm willing to bet a few boys beat me to that." She said with a smirk.
"You're on thin ice Kurama-chan." Ranma said with a glare.
"Kidding. I'm kidding. But you really do have a nice ass Ranma-kun." Kurama said with a smile. "But to be fair, you have a nice ass as a guy too." She said with a perverted smirk.
"Uhhh...thanks? I think?" Ranma said in blushing confusion.
Not too long afterwards, Ranma and Kurama landed at the cafe only to see Lum zapping Mr. Fujinami over and over again. Ranma tilted her head to the side as she watched his/her girlfriend zap the crap out of his/her look-a-likes father.
"Um...what did we miss?" Ranma asked, catching Lum and Ryuunosuke's attention.
"Oh! Darling! Kurama!" Lum said as she flew over to the two teens. Ranma smiled but her smile dropped when she noticed the bruises on Lum's body.
"Lum...who hurt you?" Ranma asked, her body being covered by an aura of rage as red as her hair.
"What?" Lum asked as she looked and saw the bruises on her body. "Uh..."
"Who? Hurt? You?" Ranma asked. Lum started getting worried.
"Um, well..." She started to say but was cut off by Fujinami.
"WHY YOU LITTLE PUNK!" Fujinami cried out as he charged at the Oni girl. Ranma's eyes flashed to the grown man and tightened her fists until they started popping.
"You..." She said as she dashed at the grown man and suddenly, her hands started glowing blue as she let loose a relentless barrage of blows that no one could keep up with. In only a few seconds, Fujinami was down on the ground, but this time he stayed down.
"Whoa!" Ryuunosuke said. Lum and Kurama, who were used to Ranma pounding opponents down, were also shocked to see him have glowing hands and moving at speeds even faster than usual.
"Wow! Darling's even faster than before!" Lum said.
"And what was with the glowing hands? Was that something he learned from one of his new masters?" Kurama said. Ranma panted as she calmed down, but then stomped on the downed man's head.
"Don't ever, EVER! HURT MY LUM-CHAN AGAIN!" She said as she kicked him hard into the ocean. She huffed and puffed as she looked back to the three girls.
"Sorry about that." She said.
"Darling, what was that glowing hand thing? Did you learn that from Asuka's dad or from that Bang guy?" Lum asked, catching Ryuunosuke's attention.
"Wati, Bang guy?" Then it clicked in her head.
"Wait! Are you saying that Ranma's trained with THE Silver Fang BANG!?" Ryuunosuke cried out in shock. Ranma scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.
"Uh yeah. Actually, I just started training with him." She said, only for Ryuunosuke to get fight in her face.
"SERIOUSLY!? OH MY GOD you are so lucky! Is he really as strong as they say!?" She asked. Ranma blushed from how close his female double was.
"Um, well...yeah, he is." She said. "Um...can we talk more after you turn me back to normal?" She asked. Lum giggled at her boyfriend turned girl.
"Ok. And it'll be a load off to be honest. Every time I let my guard down something else happens that nearly destroys this thing. I'm starting to think maybe you were right, I think the universe really wants to keep cures to Jusenkyo from being a thing." She said as she took aim at Ranma and fired. Two seconds later, Ranma was once again back to being a man. Ranma took a deep breath and sighed as he relaxed after once again being cured.
"Oh boy. It feels good to be back." He said as he looked at the three girls. "Now please don't ask me to do that again, ok?"
"Ok" Lum said as she and Kurama shared a giggle. Ranma sighed at the two aliens and then turned to Ryuunosuke.
"So, now that I'm back to normal, ask anything you want and I'll answer, ok?" He said. Ryuunosuke smiled and nodded.
As Ranma and Ryuunosuke talked, the two of them and Lum and Kurama started heading back to where they left Nodoka. Ryuunosuke was shocked to hear her male counterpart was able to become a disciple of one of the biggest martial arts masters in the world. Hearing about some of the stuff he'd went through, she had a lot of respect for her look-a-like.
In exchange for what everything he told her, she told him and the girls about her own life. Ranma felt sorry for this girl, her life wasn't as bad as his, but dang if it wasn't close enough. But hearing that Ryuunosuke and her father were students of an obscure martial art like the Mishima Kakuto Ryu was a real shocker.
After the fall of the Mishima Zaibatsu, that style had all but vanished. When Heihachi Mishima took over, he had all advanced practitioners of the style recruited to his personal private army. When he died and the Zaibatsu was destroyed, most of the military were either killed or so badly beaten and broken that they'd never be able to fight again. To hear that anyone form the old Mishima dojo run by Jinpachi Mishima before his son shut it down was still around was a real shocker.
"By the way, where are we going?" Ryuunosuke asked.
"Just wait and see. And stay behind me." Ranma said as he walked up to his mother.
"Hey mom." He said.
"Hello son." Nodoka said to her son as she took off her shades. "Did you and your girlfriends have a good time?"
"Uh yeah. But mom, I have a quick question. Have you ever had any...guys on the side when you were married to pop? Or, you know...had any other kids?" He asked. Nodoka looked at her son like he was crazy.
"Son, as much as I probably should have, no. I didn't see any other men, no matter how much I wanted to. And as for having any other kids, please. I think I, of all people would know if I had more than one kid." She said.
"Oh yeah?" Ranma said as he stepped to the side and revealed Ryuunosuke. Nodoka's eyes went wide as she did a double take. Ryuunosuke blushed as she looked at her twin's mom.
"Um...hello." She said with a nervous smile and wave.
"Uh...hello." She said, not really knowing how to react. "Well...they say everyone's got a double ganger somewhere..."
Meanwhile, Shampoo was walking through the streets of Nerima, her mind coming to grips with the fact that the female named Ranma that she had been chasing was finally dead. There was nothing left to do but save up some money and get on the first plane she could back to China. As she was thinking this, she bumped into someone and caused them to drop their stuff.
"Oh, Shampoo sorry miss." She said as she said as she helped the girl she bumped into pick up her stuff, which included a few pictures of some girls.
"It's no big deal." Said none other than Nabiki Tendo. As she and Shampoo were picking up pictures, Shampoo noticed that some of them not only included pictures of Nabiki and her sisters but also included some of Ranma. Both male AND female!
"Aiyah! How come you have pictures of female Ranma?" She asked. Nabiki looked at Shampoo.
"Why? You interested? I can cut ya a good deal on some of these. I might have some more later if you give me a little time." She said.
"No you wont." Shampoo said, causing Nabiki to look at her with a confused look.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Female Ranma dead. Now all that left is boy named Ranma, but Shampoo no know why you have pictures of both. Were they related?" Shampoo asked as she looked at the pictures of both Ranma's with a decerning eye.
"Wha? What do you mean girl Ranma is dead?" She asked, knowing from her spies around Tomobiki that Ranma was just on his way back home form a beach trip. Shampoo looked at her and sighed.
"Shampoo see female Ranma jump off cliff. She dead now. If these two siblings, then she feel sorry for boy Ranma."
Now Nabiki was really getting curious. This girl claims that Ranma is dead, but she literally just got proof that Ranma was alive and well with his two alien girlfriends and his mother, so it was obvious to her that for whatever reason, Ranma had pulled a fast one on this Chinese girl. Oh well, here's another opportunity to make some easy money.
"Well little missy, what if I told you that the girl you're looking for is alive and well and that she and this boy both just pulled the wool over your eyes and make you look like a fool?" She said, causing the young Amazon to gasp.
"Say what!?" Shampoo exclaimed. Nabiki smirked slightly.
"Yep, sorry to burst your little bubble. But...if you want to know why he did this, I could tell you...for a price." She said as she rubbed her fingers and thumb together.
Shampoo glared at the girl. She could snap this girl like a twig if she wanted, but she could tell that this woman was not one to easily break. She sighed and took out what money she had and gave it to the woman just so she could get some quick answers. Nabiki counted the money and looked at the purple-haired girl.
"You're from China right? (Shampoo nodded.) And you've heard of Jusenkyo, right? (She nodded again.) Well guess what honey, that girl and boy are one in the same." Nabiki said.
"Aiyah!?" Shampoo cried out. Nabiki nodded.
"Yep. Ranma fell into the spring of drowned girl and turned into that busty red-head. And believe me when I tell you that male Ranma is alive and well, so his red-headed form is just as fine. So sister, you got played." Nabiki said, only for Shampoo to swipe her money back.
"Huh?" Nabiki cried out.
"You is liar! Male and female Ranma not same person. You think Shampoo fall off of turnup truck?" Shampoo said as she started to march off. Nabiki was more confused than ever.
"Wait! I'm telling you the truth! Just splash him with water and..."
"Shampoo seen male Ranma drenched in water at beach. He no turn to girl." Shampoo said, causing Nabiki to go pale in the face.
"S-say what?" She asked, her eyes going wide.
"Shampoo see male Ranma get wet at beach, he no change. Greedy girl is liar." Shampoo said as she marched away.
Nabiki was shell shocked. She knew that Ranma went to the beach but her spies didn't say anything about him not changing into his girl form. Then again, ever since Ranma left for Tomobiki Town, she hadn't been able to find one sighting of his female form. She sent some of her people to the beach thinking that they'd be able to get some pics of female Ranma but...
"No..." Nabiki said to herself. "It can't be..."
No sign of female Ranma in Tomobiki, heck Ataru would have mentioned her in their transactions, no sign of female Ranma during the fight with the Golden Pair, and now no pics of female Ranma at the beach? Even this Chinese girl said she saw Ranma dripping wet and he didn't change? Could it be...
"Is...Is Ranma...cured...?"
