"They've been gone a long time." Ukyo yawned, rubbing her eye.
Akane looked worried. "I hope poor Ryoga didn't get lost again. Jusenkyo is nearby too."
Konatsu kept his eyes set on the direction of Jusenkyo, hoping something did not go terribly wrong. He didn't know what he would do if Ranma got cursed again. He would still love her of course. But he knew the stress of the curse would make life difficult. Perhaps miserable.
A faint feminine scream was heard in the camp. None of the three could understand what was said in it, but it didn't sound good at all.
"That, that didn't sound like Ranma." Akane said, bewildered. "It couldn't be..."
A moment later, two figures were seen quickly moving towards them, reaching speeds far too fast for a normal person.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU RANMA!" A feminine voice screamed.
All three of those at camp realized who that was despite the high voice. And thus all three at camp winced and groaned at the implications.
"You always say that but you don't really mean it." Ranma spun around and made a face, still running at full speed.
They reached the camp and Ranma instantly ran up a tree. Ryoga skid and hit another tree, causing it to topple over.
"Hey watch it moron!" Ranma yelled down.
Akane was furious and stomped over to the two yelling girls. "Honestly, HOW DID YOU GET RYOGA CURSED YOU JERK?"
Ranma waved. "Hi Akane. And for the record, it was an accident."
Akane fumed even more. "HOW?"
Ryoga got up and wiped her face. "Stay back Tendo-San, this is a man to man fight. That bastard will get what's coming to him though."
"Yeah, man to man when both of you are girls." Ukyo chuckled. "Eh whatever it's the thought that counts. Let them to beat each other up Acchan, it's not anything new."
Akane turns to Ukyo, still angry. "How can you say that? Look at them!"
Ryoga was down under the tree, screaming, threatening to cut down the tree and making a scene. Ranma was far above, making faces.
Ukyo smiled. "Look we both know Ryoga. He won't kill Ran-chan. Not like him. Besides, if they do fight it'll be fun."
Konatsu was looking worried however, ready to jump to Ranma's defense if anything went wrong.
"It's not that bad Ryoga-CHAN!" Ranma laughed. "Calm down man, Akari loves pigs, not bitches."
"THAT'S IT!" Ryoga punched the tree to make a point but she was too mad to hold back much, blowing up the bottom of the tree.
Everyone watched amazed as the tree tipped over falling to the ground.
Ranma jumped out and onto the ground, unharmed.
"Ok I'm here, happy?" Ranma cracked her knuckles. "Come on!"
Ryoga seethed. "Oh it's on!"
"NOO!" Konatsu couldn't take it anymore and jumped in between them. "Don't fight! Please!"
"Ranma cursed me to be a girl!" Ryoga complained.
"It was an accident!" Ranma yelled back.
Konatsu gathered up all his courage and glared at Ranma. "Apologize."
"WHAT?" Ranma screamed, astonished.
Konatsu glared.
"But he... I just tried to... It wouldn't happen if!" Ranma tried getting out of it.
Konatsu still glared.
Ranma sighed. "Fine... Sorry Ryoga for making you a girl and all. I only tried to make it so that P-"
Ryoga interrupted. "I FORGIVE YOU I FORGIVE YOU!" She knew what Ranma was going to say next it was obvious.
Konatsu nodded. "Now was that so hard?"
Ranma nodded. "Yes. Very much yes. Its never my fault..." She turned away, muttering.
Konatsu sighed.
Ryoga was down again. "I still don't know how I'll explain this to Akari..."
"Poor Ryoga." Akane frowned, speaking to herself.
"If it's anything we can wait here an extra day. I'm sure the guide can find you the right spring." Ranma mouthed a few extra words about getting it right THIS TIME.
"I hope so. Maybe I'll even let you get to it too." Ryoga looked away.
Ranma laughed nervously. "Yeah, about that..."
Ryoga furrowed her eyebrows, wondering what Ranma got into this time when hot water ran down her back and neck. "HOT!"
Ukyo sighed blissfully, holding a kettle. "That never gets old. Back and forth and back and forth. Hey Acchan ever think about getting a boy curse?"
Akane shook her head, waving her arms. "No, no, no, no, no, NOO..."
Ryoga, now that things were normal again, was able to think about what has happened. He couldn't deny that being a girl was a vast improvement, but it still was worse than being cured. But now he wouldn't fear being eaten. And Ranma meant well so he guessed he she pulsing be too hard on him. Still he turned into a girl which would be an issue. Then again, Ranma could help deal with those issues if he couldn't get cured soon. Then again, asking his rival for help was something Ryoga wasn't willing to do unless he absolutely had to. Hopefully a cure was just a sleep away. If it wasn't, Ryoga already imagined what nicknames Ranma had in store. That made him realize that Ukyo called Akane Acchan. He knew they weren't enemies like the other girls had with each other over Ranma but nicknames? Did they have an agreement? Did one of them win? Or did they agree to share Ranma? Ryoga's thoughts turned to a womanizing Ranma. Which wasn't new but now he had more proof.
"RANMA!" Ryoga turned to his rival.
"Oh what now?" Ranma groaned. "I said I was sorry, jeeze."
"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO AKANE?" Ryoga clenched his fists.
"Wha?" Ranma glanced over to Akane, who was being petted by Ukyo to calm her down again.
"I knew you were bad before but this! I cannot accept it!" Ryoga vowed.
Ranma clenched her fists. "If you're gonna accuse me of somethin could it kill ya to actually SAY WHAT I DID WRONG?"
"You! You bigamist!" Ryoga pointed his finger at Ranma. "You're worse than Kuno!"
Akane, Ukyo and Konatsu all glanced at each other, knowing that if things weren't straightened out it'll get ugly.
