Chapter II: The Visit to Dr. Tofu's

          As Ranma, Akane, and Nabiki exit the Dojo, a pair of red, glowing eyes slowly open in the shadow filled doorway, across the street.

          'Hmmm, the three girls my spells affected . . . excellent, now I can get a better look at them.' the owner of the eyes thinks as he watches the three girls walk away.  The eyes close for a moment, then the black clad stranger steps out of the shadows.  He turns to look at the three girls and smiles.  "I think a small lust spell could be entertaining!" he says as he begins to cast the spell.

          Akane and Nabiki suddenly stop and look at each other, "Did you just . . ." Akane starts,

          "Feel a tingling sensation?" Nabiki finishes for her.

          Both girls hear a low moan behind them, they turn to see Ranma a few paces behind them.  She is leaning against a wall looking rather pale and shaking slightly.

          "Ranma!  Are you okay?" Akane asks.

          Ranma looks at her, breathing hard, she just moans in response.  As Akane and Nabiki approach Ranma, they begin to feel that tingling sensation again.

          "There it is again," Nabiki says as Akane gives her a questioning look.  Nabiki takes a few steps back and taps her chin as the feeling fades.  She again walks towards Ranma, and nods to herself as the sensation increases the closer she gets to Ranma.  "It seems to be coming from Ranma!"

          Ranma moans as she slowly slides down the wall, her legs unable to support her weight.  Her eyes are barely open, and slightly glazed over.  She is breathing hard, and her face is flushed.  Her erect nipples are clearly visible through her thin silk shirt.

          "It feels rather . . . nice, actually," Akane says as she moves closer to Ranma, "the closer I get to Ranma, the better it feels!"  As Akane gets closer to Ranma, the pleasant feeling increases for her.  "Here Ranma . . . let me help you," she says as she holds her hand out to Ranma.

          Nabiki notices that Ranma seems to recover slightly, the closer Akane gets to her.  Ranma slowly reaches for Akane's offered hand, Akane gasps in pleasure as Ranma grips her hand tightly.

          Nabiki watches as Akane's knees almost buckle as their hands touch, "Akane, are you okay?" she asks.

          "Oh . . . I think so . . . I . . . think I just came again . . ." Akane gasps out in response, as she helps Ranma to her feet.  Both girls lean on each other for support.  "Nabiki, could you give me a hand with Ranma?"

          Nabiki swallows hard and nervously approaches the two girls.  She notices that they both seem to recover a bit as she gets closer.  Nabiki groans in pleasure as she takes Ranma's hand in hers.  'How odd,' she thinks as Ranma's heavy breathing settles a little.

          Ranma-chan grasps Nabiki's hand tightly, "Akane . . . could you let go of me for a moment?" she asks as she looks at the wide-eyed Nabiki.

          "Why?" Akane asks.

          "I think we should wait until we get to Dr. Tofu's before we try this Ranma . . ." Nabiki quickly cuts in.

          "I see you noticed . . ."

          "Noticed what?" a rather confused Akane asks.

          "That the closer you both got to me . . ." Ranma begins.

          "The better Ranma got." Nabiki finishes.

          Ranma nods.  "It felt like my body was on fire . . . felt so good it almost hurt.  I couldn't move, could barely think . . . still feels good, just not as strong."

          "We should get going . . . this is something we should show Dr. Tofu . . ." Nabiki says quietly.

          Ranma relaxes her grip on Akane's hand, "Akane, just let go for a moment . . ."

          "No!  Don't . . . ooooh . . ." Nabiki groans as Ranma breaks contact with Akane.  Both Nabiki and Ranma shudder as the pleasant feelings increase dramatically.

          Akane gasps as Ranma grabs her hand once again, the pleasant feeling once again returning to a more manageable level for the other two girls.

          "Ranma . . . that was a mean thing to do . . ." Nabiki groans while giving the grinning redhead a dark look.

          "Came pretty hard . . . didn't you?  Sumimasen, Nabiki . . . I needed to see if I was right . . ." Ranma quietly apologizes.

          "Akane don't let go of Ranma's hand, at least until we get to Tofu's!" Nabiki says as they start walking again.

          'At least we don't have far to go . . .' all three girls think.

          "I don't believe it!  That spell should have hit all three of them . . . why did it center on the redhead?" the black clad stranger mutters to himself as he watches the two unaffected girls help the redhead.

          He frowns as he uses another spell, this one he casts on himself, his vision shifts slightly, forcing him to close his eyes for a moment.  When he opens them again, he sees tendrils of golden energy moving all over the redhead who is having trouble standing.  As the other girls move closer to her the tendrils begin to react to their presence, slowly moving to caress them.

          He watches the redhead recover slightly as one of the girls takes her hand.  The golden spell energy using the physical contact as a bridge to connect the two.

          'How odd . . . I've never seen this before . . .' he thinks as he watches the other girl touch the redhead, the concentrated spell energy spreading out equally over the girls.  'Somehow that redhead became the focus for my spell . . . this deserves a closer look.'  he thinks as he watches the redhead break contact briefly with the first girl, the energy snaps back, causing the remaining girls to shudder in pleasure.

          The redhead quickly grabs the first girl's hand and once again, the spell energy covers all three equally.  "I definitely need to take a closer look at that redhead . . ." he mutters to himself, trailing off as he senses another female leaving the Dojo.  "Ah!
The other girl . . . the one my spells didn't affect . . ." he smiles as he turns away from the trio, "That one really bothers me . . . the lust spell will wear off soon, I can play with them later . . ." he says as he steps into a shadow filled doorway and disappears from sight.

Back at the Dojo . . .

          Kasumi has just finished cleaning up after lunch.  Soun and Genma thank her for the wonderful meal before returning to their shogi game.  Happosai thanks her and heads off to his room, for a short nap among the newest additions to his panty collection.

          Kasumi finishes her shopping list and prepares to leave.  "Father, I'm going shopping now.  I left you and Mr. Saotome a snack in the refrigerator . . . please share it with Master Happosai."

          "Thank you Kasumi, we will . . . RIGHT Saotome?" Soun replies, taking a big risk by taking his eyes off the board.  Genma seizes the opportunity to cheat and moves several pieces.

          Soun looks at the board and notices that he is now losing, he spins the board around when Genma looks at Kasumi, "Right, Tendo . . . arigato Kasumi!" he says before turning back to the game, "NANI!"

          "Something wrong Saotome?  I believe it's your move . . ." Soun says with a smile.

          "No . . . nothing . . ." Genma replies weakly as he tries to figure out just what went wrong in the last ten seconds. 'How could I move my self into a losing position like that . . .' he thinks as he looks over the board.

          "Well, I'll be back in a few hours." Kasumi says with a smile as she turns to leave.

Outside the Dojo . . .

          Kasumi exits through the garden gate.  She heads in the general direction of Dr. Tofu's office.  She is happily thinking about what to cook for dinner.  She fails to notice the black clad man who steps out from the shadows behind her.

          'What a beauty . . . Happosai, I will enjoy taking these beautiful young women from you . . . you will suffer for your crimes!' he thinks as he follows the oblivious Kasumi.

Outside Dr. Tofu's office . . .

          Akane, Ranma, and Nabiki finally arrive at Dr. Tofu's.  It has been a rather long, distracting walk for the three of them.  The pleasurable sensations caused by the lust spell are still working on them.  The three girls look relieved to finally arrive at their destination.

          "Well, here we are . . ." Akane mutters as she reaches for the door.

          Dr. Tofu is sweeping the lobby when the door opens, he turns to see Akane poke her head in.  "Oh, hello Akane, what can I do for you today?" he greets her with a heartwarming smile.

          "Are you busy?" Akane asks as she enters, Ranma and Nabiki in tow.

          Tofu looks puzzled but responds, "No actually, I don't have anyone scheduled today.  What's wrong?" he asks as he walks towards the three very relieved girls.

          Ranma and Akane both blush.  "Actually, its a little hard to explain . . ." Nabiki states a bit hesitantly, "more than a little embarrassing, actually."

          As Tofu nears the three girls, he gets a strange look on his face.  "That's strange . . . what's that tingling sensation . . ." he trails off in surprise as he looks down at his sudden erection.

          Akane thinks 'Wow, he's pretty big . . .' she shakes her head in embarrassment, suddenly realizing that she is staring.  "Actually, that's part of the reason we're here . . ." she is interrupted by a low moan coming from a visibly shaken Ranma, "R-Ranma?  Are you all right?"

          Ranma doesn't answer, she is staring at the floor, her jaw is working, but nothing other than that low moan is coming out of it.  She is breathing hard, her face is flushed, and she is starting to shake.  'OHGOD,OHGOD,OHGOD,GOTTAGETOUTTAHEREDON'TWANT . . . DOWANT . . . OHGOD,GOTTAGETOUTTAHERE!'

          Momentarily forgetting his embarrassment, Tofu moves in to try and help Ranma, "Ranma?  What's wrong . . . are you . . ." that's as far as he gets, Ranma lets loose a small scream, her eyes roll up into her head and she collapses as his hand touches her shoulder.

          Tofu catches the unconscious Ranma as she collapses.  Akane and Nabiki, both stunned by Ranma's reaction to the doctor, let go of her hands as he picks the unconscious girl up and carries her into the exam room.  Nabiki and Akane follow him in.

          Tofu lays her down on the exam table, and begins to do a quick check up.  After a few minutes, he turns to Akane and Nabiki and says, "Other than a little twitching, moaning and heavy breathing, Ranma seems to be all right.  Any idea what might have caused this?"

          "Actually . . . we were hoping you might be able to tell us . . ." Akane says as she sits down next to Ranma.

          "Earlier, Ranma had some kind of attack . . . she said her clothes were bothering her . . . we don't know why . . . but apparently she was just extremely horny . . ." Nabiki quickly puts in.

          "Then on the way here, that weird tingling sensation started . . . it seems to be coming from Ranma." Akane says rather quietly.

          "Did it have any effect on you girls?" Tofu asks.

          "Uh . . . yeah . . ." both reply with a deep blush.

          "Similar to what happened to me?" he asks.

          "Yeah," Nabiki replies with a blush, "the closer we got to Ranma the stronger it got."

          "It was worse for Ranma . . . she couldn't even stand." Akane quietly puts in.

          "Also, the closer we got, the less it seemed to affect her." Nabiki finishes.

          Tofu just stands there for a moment, quietly lost in thought.  "Has this ever happened before?" he asks.

          "Not according to Ranma, she told me that before this morning . . . she'd never even had so much as a wet dream in her girl form." Akane replies.

          He walks over to Ranma and touches her hand, his erection begins to throb as soon as he comes into contact.  He is filled with a strong urge to have sex with the unconscious girl before him.  He begins to breathe hard, and moans quietly, the erotic feelings nearly overwhelm his common sense.  "Y-you said something about Ranma being extremely horny earlier . . . how did you . . ." he asks breathlessly, before breaking contact with Ranma.

          Both Nabiki and Akane blush as they watch Tofu's reaction to touching Ranma.  Nabiki watches him move away from his patient, rather slowly.  "Deal with that . . . we had sex with her." Nabiki responds, with one of her shark smiles.

          "NABIKI!" Akane exclaims.

          "What?  He IS the doctor . . . he might need that information . . ." she responds quietly.

          "Did-did it help?" Tofu asks quietly.

          Akane responds while giving Nabiki a dark look, "Yes . . . it did.  Please don't tell anyone."

          Ranma groans and tries to sit up, "Where'm I . . ." she asks groggily.

          "You're safe, just lay still for a bit, you've had a shock . . ." Akane says as she wraps her arms around Ranma.

          Tofu nods in agreement, "I'm going to make a call . . . I have a friend in the States that might know something about curses."

          "You mean I might be cured?" Ranma asks as she squirms in Akane's arms.

          "Honestly, I don't know . . . I hope she can at least figure out if what's happening to you now is related to your curse." Ranma moans quietly, "How do you feel now Ranma?" Tofu asks.

          "Almost like I did this morning before we . . ." Ranma moans while blushing.

          "I understand.  Any idea what caused you to faint like that?" He asks.

          Ranma shudders and nods, looking at the doctor with wide staring eyes.  She swallows hard before continuing, "Yeah . . . I do."  Tofu points at himself, and Ranma nods, visibly shaken.

          "Okay.  Akane, get Ranma a glass of water, and one of the gowns from that cabinet over there," he points at a cabinet behind her.  Ranma, get out of those clothes and into the gown.  Nabiki please get the kettle from the other room . . . when I get back we're going to see what happens when we turn Ranma back into a boy." Tofu then turns to leave the room.

          "What're you goin' to do?" Ranma asks nervously.

          "I'm going to put an 'out to lunch' sign in the window and lock the door.  I also have a call to make.  Unless you want someone to see you like this?" Tofu asks quietly.  All three girls shake their heads.  Tofu smiles, "Oh, Nabiki, if Ranma's clothes are as damp as I suspect they are, use the washer in back."

          Nabiki just nods as Tofu leaves the room.

          Tofu locks the door and puts the sign in the window.  He then picks up the phone and dials.  the phone rings several times before someone answers, "Tofu-san, how are you?" a pleasant female voice asks.

          "Fine Citrina-sama, but one of my patients has a problem . . ." Tofu begins.

          "You know I'm not a doctor . . ."

          "I don't think it's a medical problem,"

          "Oh, what kind of problem is it?"

          "I think it's curse related . . ."

          "Sounds interesting . . . You'd better give me the details . . ."

          Tofu takes a deep breath and begins to explain Ranma's problem.

          Ranma takes a third glass of water from Akane and drinks it down, "Thanks Akane, I needed that!" she says as Akane unbuttons Ranma's shirt.  "Um, I think I can handle this myself . . ." she gasps as Akane pinches her rock hard nipples.

          "I know you can . . . I just want to help you, that's all!" Akane whispers as she gives Ranma a quick kiss that makes them both moan softly.

          "I just can't leave you two alone for a second . . . can I?" Ranma and Akane both blush profusely at Nabiki's comment.  "You do realize that Tofu-san is in the other room, right?"

          Ranma groans in embarrassment, as Akane begins to tug at the ties holding her pants on.  "Ranma, lean back for a moment, so I can get these off of you."  Ranma lays back and lifts her hips so Akane can pull her pants and panties off.  "Oh my, he was right, her clothes are rather damp . . ."

          Nabiki smiles as she begins to remove her shorts, "I thought so . . . I've already started the washer . . ."

          "NABIKI!" Akane hisses, "Just what are you doing?"

          "I'm going to throw my panties in with Ranma's clothes," she says as she removes her panties, and dries her damp crotch with a towel, "I suggest you do the same, Akane!  Unless you like the feel of damp panties?"

          "Nani?" Akane starts to say, as she blushes, before quickly stripping off her soiled panties.

          Nabiki tosses the towel to Akane, then pulls her shorts back on.  "I'll just toss this stuff into the washer, the kettle should be hot shortly." she says as she gathers up Ranma's clothes and the two extra pairs of panties.  "Be right back!"

          Akane watches Nabiki leave the room, she doesn't realize that she is playing with the hem of her skirt.

          Ranma does notice, she momentarily debates whether or not to interrupt the show Akane is giving her.  "Akane.  Hey Akane!" Ranma hisses.  When Akane doesn't respond, she reaches out and cups her mound.  Ranma slides her middle finger into Akane's naked pussy.  Akane groans loudly and grabs onto Ranma in an effort to avoid falling down.

          "Raaaanma, what was that for?" Akane, moans into her ear.

          "I wanted to get your attention . . ." she replies.

          Akane looks at the nude redhead and blushes, "Oh, sorry.  I'll get the gown for you right now."

          Nabiki returns just in time to see Akane help a slightly shaky Ranma-chan into the hospital gown.

          "That's definitely an interesting story . . . I've heard of Jusenkyo . . . just never managed to get there myself." there is a momentary pause before she continues, "Tofu . . . make sure we won't be disturbed . . . I'm going to gate in . . . you still have those crystals I sent you?" she asks.

          "Yes, I do." Tofu replies.

          "Good, place them like I told you . . . then make sure the area is clear . . . I don't want anyone to get caught by the gate . . ." she says with concern.

          "Yes, that would be very bad . . ."

          Citrina laughs, "That is an understatement.  It would very likely be fatal."

          Tofu shudders at her tone, "When will you gate in?"

          "Fifteen minutes, just place the crystals and get out of the way . . . is there anyone there to see . . . ?"

          "Outside of myself, three . . . Ranma, Akane, and Nabiki."

          "Good, they all know about the curse, they shouldn't be too shocked by my entrance.  Don't do anything until I arrive, see you in a few minutes Tofu-san."

          "I'll be ready." Tofu says as he hangs up the phone.  'Not much time . . . I have to place the crystals, good thing I've seen this done before . . .' he thinks as he takes a two foot long polished oak box from the book shelf and exits the room.

          "Feeling any better now, Ranma?" Nabiki asks.

          "A little it seems to be fading, slowly . . ." Ranma replies quietly.

          "That's good to hear," Dr. Tofu says as he hurries into the room.  He sets the heavy oak box on the counter near Ranma and Akane.  "Nabiki, would you give me a hand with this?" he asks as he opens the box, revealing two long crystal rods resting in the velvet lined box.  He takes one of the heavy rods and holds it out to Nabiki, "We don't have much time . . ."

          "What are these for?" Nabiki asks as she takes the Rod from Tofu, surprised by it's weight.

          "Be careful with that," he warns, "they're heavier than they look . . . what ever you do, DON'T drop it!"

          "Okay," Nabiki says as she adjusts her grip on the fragile looking rod.

          Tofu smiles, as he takes the other rod from the box.  "These are rather similar to keys, they allow the safe opening of a Gate.  They're tougher than they look, but why take chances . . ." he says as he takes his crystal rod and carefully places it on end several feet away from the wall near the door.  "Nabiki, place your rod across from this one . . ." Nabiki complies without comment, "and when I tell you, let it go."

          "But if I do that it'll fall . . ." Nabiki says with an odd look on her face, "you told me not to drop it."

          "Trust me, it won't fall."

          All three girls look at him like he has lost his mind.  "It has to fall . . . gravity!" Nabiki states incredulously.

          "It won't fall . . . it's magic." he replies with a wide grin.

          This receives a chorus of "NANI!" from everyone present.  "But that's impossible . . ." Nabiki starts.

          "As impossible as Ranma being a boy?" he says, pointedly looking at the shocked redheaded girl on the exam table.

          "But Ranma IS a boy." Nabiki replies quietly.

          "Really?  Well, if you can accept that, you can accept this . . . let go NOW!" slightly shocked by the doctor's sudden yell, Nabiki lets go of the rod.  Much to her surprise, both crystal rods remain standing, she is about to reach out and touch one of the rods when Tofu stops her.  "Don't . . . it's very dangerous."

          "How . . . what do you mean 'dangerous'?" Nabiki asks.

          Tofu glances at the clock, "I'll show you in a minute, please stand near the others." he says as he watches Nabiki back away slowly.  He then takes the broom from it's place near the door and stands several feet away from the crystal rods.

          The rods start to glow with a soft blue light, a silver point of light appears, floating in the air about three feet from the ground.  The point of light quickly elongates into a long silver line, nearly seven feet tall, the line seems to rotate, some how becoming a large silver oval with gold lightning crawling across it's surface.  The edges of the oval stop several inches from both the floor and the crystal rods.

          Dr. Tofu looks at the three girls, and smiles at the stunned looks on their faces, "Watch carefully, this is why I warned you to stay away," he says as he moves the end of the broom until it touches the edge of the disk.  He hears a collective gasp from
behind him as the end of the broom handle drops to the ground behind the disk with a loud clatter.  He immediately walks over to the three girls and hands Nabiki the broom.

          Nabiki looks at the end of the handle, "It's been cut, cleanly . . ."

          "If that had been a living creature, the shock would have likely killed it before it knew what had happened." a soft female voice replies.

          All eyes turn to the source of the voice, there is a pretty young blonde woman with a six-foot tall staff in her hand.  She is wearing a long, dark blue cloak with a red lining, a tight black leather vest, and equally tight black leather pants with black boots, standing in front of the gate.  She smiles as she taps the ground gently with her intricately carved staff.  The gate begins to rotate closed.

          "Tofu-san," she says with a low bow, "I really wish you would've waited until I came through . . . before you began waving brooms in my face."

          "My apologies Lady Tanzin . . ." Tofu says with an equally deep bow, "I will be more careful in the future!"

          "Drop the title Tofu," she says with a wide grin, "why don't you introduce me to your friends . . ."

          "Of course, where are my manners, Citrina Tanzin, these are Ranma Saotome, his fiancée, Akane Tendo, and her sister Nabiki Tendo." he says indicating the three girls standing next to him.

          Citrina looks at Akane and Nabiki, "Tendo . . . Kasumi-chan's sisters?"  Both girls nod as she turns her attention towards Ranma.  "That would make you Ranma . . . you are a very pretty girl . . . it's hard to believe you're really a boy!"

          Ranma blushes and says, "T-thanks . . . y-you know about the curse?"

          "Tofu told me, and I can see a male shadow-form just behind you, you're taller as a boy, and your hair is black." she says with a smile.

          "How did . . ." Akane starts to ask before Citrina interrupts.

          "How did I know, or how did I get here?" Citrina asks.

          "Both," Nabiki states flatly.

          "Magic.  Before I used the gate I cast a spell on myself that would allow me to see things invisible to others.  Because Tofu told me about the curse, I knew who Ranma was as soon as I saw him.  As for getting here, I walked."

          "NANI!  You WALKED!" Ranma exclaims.

          Citrina laughs, "Yes, I walked.  The entire trip took less than a minute.  Anyway, enough questions for now, lets have a look at you Ranma . . ." she says as she takes her cloak off, "tell me, how do you feel?"

          "Pretty good actually . . ."

          "I believe that's because Akane and Nabiki are absorbing some of the power . . . they're touching you."

           The three girls look surprised at her announcement.  Ranma looks at them and realizes that she is right.  Akane looks down, surprised to discover herself holding Ranma's hand, and Nabiki gasps as she discovers her hand resting on Ranma's bare knee.  "I didn't even realize . . ."

          "That's okay, it just shows your concern for Ranma.  Would you help Tofu put the rods away, please?" Citrina asks with a smile.

          Nabiki slowly removes her hand from Ranma's knee, Ranma and Akane gasp at the sudden increase of pleasurable feelings.  "Sure."

          "That's interesting . . . Akane, go get some hot water, we're going to turn Ranma back into a boy.  I need to see if this affects his male side." she asks with a reassuring smile.

          "O-okay . . ." Akane says as she reluctantly releases Ranma's hand.  Ranma immediately begins breathing harder, her eyes get a slightly far away look in them, and she moans loudly.

          Citrina looks at the trembling redhead for a few minutes.  "Ranma?  How do you feel?"

          Ranma looks at her, Citrina can tell that Ranma is having trouble concentrating.  "I-I want s-something . . . I just don't wanna t-think a-about it . . ."

          "It bothers you?" she asks already sure of the answer.

          "Y-yeah."

          "I take it that you have a good idea of what that is . . ."

          "I'm a GUY!  There's no way . . ." Ranma exclaims, on the verge of tears.

          "Shhh, its all right Ranma.  Its okay.  Try to relax, I'm here to help." Citrina speaks in a calm soothing tone of voice, it appears to help Ranma calm down.

          "I'm a guy . . . I-I shouldn't want THAT!" Ranma quietly exclaims, "It scares me . . ."

          "That's all right, Ranma.  It's okay to feel that way.  Has anything like this ever happened before?"

          "No, never.  It's like my body just woke up all of a sudden.  I've got feelings I've never had before . . . I'm getting really scared."

          "What kind of feelings?"

          "It's like . . . my entire body just got real sensitive all of a sudden . . . just my female form."

          "Try not to worry . . . I don't think this was caused by your curse.  I think it's something else, just what I'm not sure of yet."

          "Do you think you can help?"

          "Yeah, I do.  If you don't mind I would like to study you for a while."

          "Do you think you can cure me?"

          "I really don't know . . . but I will try.  My first priority is discovering just what is happening to you, and why."

          "Thanks, that makes me feel a little better." Ranma says with a small smile.

          "You should thank Tofu-san, he thinks rather highly of you.  I wouldn't be here if weren't for him."

          Akane returns with a steaming kettle.  "Here's the hot water!"

          "Arigato, Akane-chan, would you kindly ask Tofu-san for a bucket of cold water?"

          "Sure . . . why?" Akane asks a bit confused.

          "Just in case.  We don't want to take any chances with Ranma-chan.  His boy side might not react well to . . ."

          "What ever is affecting his girl side." Tofu says as he enters the room with a bucket.

          Citrina smiles, "I see we're thinking along the same lines . . ."

          "I already intended to try this . . . and I'm not interested in hurting Ranma." Tofu states with a small smile.

          "He already spends too much time patching Ranma up as it is." Nabiki enters with a large grin, "the clothes should be dry soon.  What should I do?" she asks, giving Citrina a pointed look.

          "Take the bucket from Tofu, throw it on Ranma, when I tell you to.  Akane get ready to pour the hot water over Ranma.  Everyone step back as far as you can, I need to clearly see everything that happens.  Are you ready, Ranma?"

          Ranma looks at Akane, who smiles reassuringly as she lifts the kettle over her head.  Ranma takes a deep breath and says, "Do it."

          Citrina nods, takes a deep breath herself, and begins to cast a spell.  She begins to speak in a strange sing-song language, her eyes begin to glow with a strange light.  Akane and Nabiki gasp in surprise, Ranma opens her eyes briefly at the sound, she closes them quickly as Citrina commands, "Pour the water now, Akane!"

          Akane pours the water, Ranma gasps as the hot water runs over her body, she opens her eyes in shock, as the change suddenly begins.  Ranma-kun screams in pain as the change completes, he quickly curls into a fetal position, groaning in pain.

          "Nabiki, NOW!" Citrina snaps.

          Nabiki throws the cold water on Ranma-kun, the change takes place immediately.  Ranma-chan gasps in relief as she loses consciousness.

          Nabiki and Akane look extremely worried as both Citrina and Tofu move in to examine the unconscious Ranma.

          "She appears to be all right," Tofu says as they slowly stretch the wet redhead out.  "She's breathing okay, her pulse is strong.  I think she'll be fine." he sighs in obvious relief.

          Citrina exhales hard, surprised to find that she had been holding her breath.  She casually lifts the gown and looks at Ranma's crotch.  'Hmmm, she's a natural red-head,' she thinks to herself as she looks at the pearly white substance in Ranma's red pubic hair.  "Somebody get me a towel . . ." a very worried Akane hands her a towel, "Thank you," she says as she takes the towel and begins to clean up Ranma's crotch.

          "W-what happened?  Is Ranma okay?" Akane nervously asks.

          "I think so . . . he just came extremely hard . . . I also think something went wrong with the change.  I'll know more when Ranma wakes up."

          "I think . . ." Nabiki swallows hard before continuing, "the change took longer."

          Citrina gives her a very hard look, Nabiki takes an involuntary step back.  "Since I've never seen Ranma change before, I couldn't be sure.  Ranma can confirm that when she wakes up."

          "Uhhhhh . . . w-what happened?" Ranma groans weakly, as she slowly opens her eyes, "That really hurt!"

          "How do you feel?" Tofu asks.

          "Kinda tired, a little sore . . ."

          "Where?" Tofu asks.

          Ranma blushes, "B-between my . . . legs."

          "Somehow I'm not surprised.  Tell me about the change, anything different?" Citrina asks.

          "Yeah . . . it felt like . . . something was fighting the change." Ranma looks worried, "it didn't hurt or nuthin', just felt real weird."

          "I think that the curse was trying to protect you.  How do you feel now?"

          "Fine . . . now that you mention it, I don't feel . . . er . . . you know, excited anymore." Ranma replies with a deep blush.

          "Yeah, that tingling feeling is gone . . ." Akane says quietly as she touches Ranma's arm.

          "I noticed that too, rest for a few minutes, then I think you can get dressed.  Where are Ranma's clothes?" Citrina asks.

          Nabiki smiles, "They're drying.  Dr. Tofu had me wash them . . . they were a little . . . um . . . damp."

          "That was very considerate, would you please bring them here, I can get them to dry faster."

          Nabiki looks curious, "Certainly, Citrina-san, I'll go get them right away." she says as she leaves the room.

          "Thank you.  Ranma, would you mind if I studied you for a few days?  I don't think your curse is what caused your current problem . . . I think magic was involved . . . I just don't know what kind."

          "I don't mind . . ." Ranma replies, eager for any possible chance of ridding himself of the curse.

          "Akane, do you think your family will mind another houseguest?" Tofu asks.

          Akane smiles, "It shouldn't be a problem, I'll call Kasumi in a while, and let her know that we'll be having company."

          Nabiki returns with a pile of damp clothing.  Citrina smiles and casts a quick spell, Nabiki gasps in surprise as the clothes suddenly become warm and dry.  "Wow, that's a handy little trick!"

          "I thought Ranma might like to get dressed.  Would you like to turn back into a guy now?" Citrina asks.

          Ranma looks at Nabiki, "Do you still wanna go shopping?"

          "Only if you feel up to it, if you don't, we'll just go home." Nabiki replies.

          "I'm just a little tired, I'll be fine.  Besides, I don't wanna hang around that old freak today . . . I think I'll stay like this for now." she replies quietly, while playing with the edge of her hospital gown.

          Citrina looks amused as she picks up the kettle, "Well, that's up to you, but . . ." she says as she pours hot water onto Ranma-chan's head.

          "Hey!  What was that for!" Ranma-kun sputters in anger.

          "Just making sure that you weren't going to have any problems changing back, now I see what you meant about the change taking longer, Nabiki." she says a few sing-song words and pours the last of the water on Ranma-kun.

          "Whoa, that's cold!" a shivering Ranma-chan complains.

          "Sorry about that." Citrina replies with a smile, "I think studying your curse will be interesting, Ranma.  I wonder what makes it work . . . I hope you don't mind spending some time changing back and forth for me."

          Ranma smiles evilly, "You can experiment on Pop too!"

          "Your father?"

          "Yeah, the Panda!"

          "Hmmm, two curses to study . . . interesting."

          "There are a few others . . ."

          "Really?  How many?"

          "Thanks Akane.  A few, I'll explain later." Ranma says as she dries herself with a towel that Akane has handed her.

          "You bet you will . . . Tofu-san, would you mind taking me over to the Tendo's later?" Citrina asks as she takes her cloak and staff from him.

          "Not at all, I would be delighted to take you to the Tendo's."

          "Good, I will return in two hours.  I need to grab a few things from home first." Citrina taps her staff on the ground and draws an oval in the air while chanting a few of those sing-song words.  A Gate begins to form very close to the place where it stood before.

          Nabiki and the others look surprised.  "I thought you needed to use the crystal rods to do that."

          "Actually Nabiki, I only need those if I'm going to open one somewhere I've never been.  They keep the Gate under control."

          "What happens if you loose control?" Akane asks.

          "People die." Citrina replies flatly.  "Things get destroyed, you saw what happened to the broom . . . it wouldn't be pretty.  Magic is very dangerous if misused.  Better safe than sorry."

          "Oh, I see . . ."

          "Well, I'll see you later.  And Ranma-chan?"

          "Huh?"

          "I hear you know a little about martial arts . . . we'll spar later.  You too Akane."

          "Sounds like fun, I'll be happy to teach you some moves . . ." Ranma says with a big grin.

          Citrina smiles, "We'll see who teaches who.  I look forward to the challenge.  It's been awhile.  See you in a few hours, Tofu I'll call before I come." she says with a smile as she steps through the gate.  As soon as she completely clears the edge, the gate begins to rotate closed.

          "Well, Ranma, are you sure you're feeling okay?" Tofu asks with a concerned smile.

          "Yeah, I think so . . . just a little sore, but otherwise I feel fine."

          "Good, that sore feeling is probably from muscles that you've never used before.  If it is still bothering you later, let me know.  Well, you can get dressed now." he says as he leaves the room.

          Akane decides to help Ranma get dressed, much to Nabiki's amusement.  "Akaaane!  I can do this myself!" Ranma
whispers as Akane holds out her panties.

          "I know Ranma, but this is more fun.  Now be good and let me dress you!" she quietly exclaims.

          Nabiki barely manages to stifle a bout of giggles at their antics, "Ranma, if you don't let her dress you, she may do something you won't like." she says as she stares at the naked redhead and her sister.

          "Oh yeah?  Like what?" she asks defiantly.

          "Hmmm, good question.  Oh!  I know!  I'll spank you if you don't let me dress you." Akane says with an evil grin.

          "You woudn't dar . . . OW!" Ranma jumps as Akane smacks her bare rear, "Okay, okay, I'll let you dress me.  Che, why'd you have to hit me so hard?"

          "Sumimasen, Ranma, I didn't mean to hit you so hard!" Akane apologizes, her head bowed to hide her blush.

           "Chikan!" Ranma snaps, harshly, while rubbing the red palm print on her ass cheek.  Ranma's insult and tone causing Akane to bristle in anger at the insult.

          Nabiki watches the exchange with great interest, and a growing sense of trepidation as she watches Akane make a fist as she prepares to pound the nude redhead into unconsciousness.

          "Ranma, no," Akane growls as she advances slowly towards Ranma, Nabiki unconscoiusly takes a step back, away from the fight, "Bak . . ." Akane trails off as she redirects her angry glare from the floor to the grinning face of her redheaded target.

          "MY chikan," Ranma states affectionately as she holds out her hand to the angry girl advancing on her, "Don't you have someone to dress?  It's a little drafty in here, don't you think?"

          "Nani?" Akane says, looking quite confused as her anger suddenly drains away.

          Ranma runs her hand over Akane's cheek, "Akane, we really need to work on your temper, you loose control way too easily.  Someone could get hurt." she says with a smile as Akane leans into her hand, slightly.

          "Hai," Akane sighs, "I'll try Ranma, I'll try.  Let's get you dressed so we can get out of here," she says as she once again holds out Ranma's panties for her.  This time, the redhead just smiles and steps into them without comment.

          Nabiki shakes her head in disbelief at this strange exchange, 'Oh Kami-sama, did I just . . . ?  I can't believe I just saw Ranma expertly manipulate Akane like that!  I have to remember that he's not as dumb as he acts, or, did those attacks change something in him?  I'll have to keep an eye on him for other changes in his personality.  It could be important.' she thinks as she puts her panties back on.  "Well, I'm going to go talk to Dr. Tofu for a few minutes," she says as Akane pulls the ties on Ranma's pants tight.

          "Sure Nabiki, we'll be out in a few minutes," Akane replies with a smile, as she tries to tickle Ranma's belly, causing the redhead to giggle briefly.

          "Cut that out Akane!" Ranma complains, "This isn't a good place for this!"

          Nabiki just shakes her head and leaves the room.

          Nabiki finds Dr. Tofu making notes on Ranma's chart in his office.  "Are you busy?" she asks.

          "Oh, Nabiki, not really.  What can I do for you?" he asks in return.

          "Um, do you think these attacks of Ranma's could . . . change him?"

          Tofu suddenly looks extremely interested, "How so?"

          Nabiki swallows before replying, "Personality wise."

Back in the exam room . . .

          "Well, that wasn't so bad, was it Ranma?" Akane asks as she buttons the last button on Ranma's shirt.

          "No, it wasn't.  What made you decide to dress me?" Ranma asks.

          Akane wraps her arms around the pouting redhead, "I thought it would be a nice thing to for you," she replies with a smile.

          "Even if I didn't want . . . mrrffhmmm . . ." Akane cuts off Ranma's complaint with a sudden, insistent kiss.  Ranma finds herself responding to Akane's advances, wrapping her arms around her fiancée, and returning the kiss with interest.

          "Wow," Ranma gasps out breathlessly as they break off their kiss.

          "You said it," Akane replies with a smile and a deep blush, "You ready to go?"

          "Almost," Ranma answers with a sly grin, as she holds up a pair of panties where Akane can see them, "it's your turn!"

          Akane gasps as Ranma lifts her skirt and cups her bare mound, sliding a finger between her lower lips, "I-I forgot . . . about . . . hmmm, those!"

          Ranma decides to play with Akane's body for a few minutes as she kneels before her.  Akane's knees nearly give out when the redhead gives her a quick, intense tongue lashing.  Much to her disappointment, she stops all too soon, "Ranma, please don't stop!" she groans while thinking, 'I am soooooo close!'

          "Suman Akane, we'll have to pick this up later," she says as she pulls Akane's panties up, causing her to groan in frustration, "that's a promise!" Ranma whispers as she stands up and gives her fiancée a long deep kiss.

Once again, in Tofu's office . . .

          "Well after that she was, actually rather nice to him.  I don't think he took it very well," she says with a smile.

          Tofu laughs, "I take it that made him nervous."  Nabiki nods once again.  "There's probably nothing to worry about, but keep an eye on Ranma's behavior and keep me posted.  If he is acting strangely, it could be important.  I'll discuss this with Citrina on the way to the dojo later.

          "I will, after all if something is changing how he thinks, it might change us also." she replies with a nervous twitch.

          "Well, from everything you've told me, Ranma was the only one affected to this degree, Citrina still has to talk to Kasumi . . . so try not to worry too much.  After all, if Ranma is starting to think things through before he sticks his foot in his mouth . . ."

          Nabiki laughs, "That's not necessarily a bad thing!"

          A familiar voice coming from behind her makes Nabiki jump, "What's not a bad thing?" Ranma asks.

          "Don't sneak up on me like that!" Nabiki snaps.

          "It wasn't anything important, Ranma." Tofu answers for Nabiki, earning him a quick smile of thanks from the middle Tendo sister.

          "Oh, okay.  So, Nabiki, are you ready to go?" Ranma asks.

          "Uh, yeah," Nabiki answers, it takes her a moment to remember where they were going to go, 'Oh yeah, shopping!' she thinks as her usual shark smile slides into place, "Hai, Ranma.  Are you ready to go shopping?"

          Ranma nods nervously, then turns her attention to Tofu, "Well Doc, once again, domo arigato gozaimasu." she says, with a bow.

          "Do itashimashite, Ranma, I'll see you all later." he replies as he gets up to see them out.

          "Hai, see you later," Akane says quickly, directing a slightly strained smile towards him before turning her attention to Ranma, "C'mon baka," she growls, grabbing the redhead's hand and virtually dragging her outside.

          "See Nabiki, nothing to worry about." he says quietly.

          "I hope." she replies as Tofu walks her to the door.
