It took only a moment for Genma to realize that something was very, very wrong. First there was no bear. While that was all well and good, his finely, if he did say so himself, martial arts senses told him his body was feeling off. This caused him to look down and suddenly realize that he was not looking like his usual, in his own mind, wondrous amazing self.
A confused "Growf!" got the attention of the guide who shook his head and groaned. "As say, you fall in spring of drowned panda. Tragic tale of panda who fall in and drown 2000 year ago, now whoever fall in spring take body of panda." The guide gestured towards the north and the tall, very tall, furred being that was currently wearing a much to small gi while staring into the water. "Young mister customer fall in spring of drowned pregnant werecheetah."
Genma froze, mind slowly churning over what he had just heard. He was a panda. No more sake, no more women, no more shogi, no cushy retirement that would let him lounge around doing nothing and relying on the boy support hi...wait, pregnant? Slowly Genma turned again to stare at the tall, busty furred girl that hadn't moved yet and began to wonder if he should start running now. After all he remembered how Nodoka got when she was pregnant.
Ranma stared in confusion into the spring while 'her' mind slowly began to chug through what had just happened. Her idiot of a father had dragged her to a cursed training ground and then gotten her cursed. In fact he managed to get it done while actually cursed himself. The martial artist part of her mind was confused how Genma had managed to continue to fight while a panda but that was tossed aside for something much more...important. She was female, and furry, and catlike. Again her martial arts mind latched onto something...she wasn't afraid, she wasn't afraid of the cat anymore. In fact she was almost certain she could hear a very, very, contented purring from somewhere deep in her mind. Her thoughts refocused on her femaleness.
She was tall, the analytical part of Ranma's mind pegged her at anywhere from 6 foot 8 inches to a full 7 foot. She was covered in fur and had a very...healthy...set of attributes, or as one boy she remembered form her time in an all boys school had once said "She had big tracts of land." Which made her gi fairly tight and uncomfortable, in fact it seemed to have torn in some places. The tail that flitted back and forth into the edge of her view every now and then was interesting as well. Ranma probably wouldn't admit right now that her mind wasn't firing on a full set of cylinders at the moment but it finally cracked through her dazed confusion what had fully happened. 'She' was cursed to be a strange, furry, big breasted cat girl and Genma was the cause.
Genma felt his danger sense explode in warning even as Ranma spun around with an enraged glare directed right at him. "Going to kill you pops!" That shout plowed through Genma's remaining confusion which had being having him stay put and he started to turn to run even as Ranma lunged forward...and blasted to past him across the springs to plow head on into the guides hut. The pandafied martial artist blinked in confusion as his transformed son reeled back from the impact letting out a surprisingly cute whimper before toppling over into unconsciousness.
----------
Ranma let out a groan as conscious thought ebbed back into being and the memories of the day slowly clawed their way out of the hazy black that had claimed his mind. Letting out a shout the martial artist jerked upright with a hand lunging to his chest only to find his normal bare skin and no breasts anywhere to be seen. Panting in relief he blinked in confusion as he looked around at the strange furnishings around him. The small bed he lay in was set against the side of a equally small room dominated by a tiny desk and the bed itself. Two doors in the room were both open, and while one led to a closet, the other led into what looked to be a multi-purpose room of some sort. From that room he could hear his idiot of a father and the guide talking.
A spike of pain tore through his skull causing him to stumble as he pushed himself upright and out of bed. Catching his balance on the desk he slowly worked his way to the main room to see Genma and the guide sitting at a table talking.
"Is no known cure." The guide sounded somewhat smug about that for some reason though both he and Genma noticed Ranma entering the room.
"Boy, why did you have to be so careless." Genma was trying to work through exactly what he was supposed to do now that 'this' had happened.
"What the heck you talking about pops?" Wincing as he rubbed the side of his head Ranma moved to a chair and sat down. "I just had the freakiest dream." Shaking his head he tried to ignore the weird idea that he had been turned into some kind of busty catgirl.
"Is no dream mister customer, is reality." The guide finished that statement by tossing cold water onto the younger martial artist with a still in place smug smile. He did so enjoy pointing out the stupidity of his customers, and these two seemed more idiotic than some. "You fall in spring of drowned pregnant werecheetah, now when you splashed with cold water you become werecheetah, hot water change you back."
"Wha..." Confusion reigned in Ranma's mind again, though a tiny part noted that the weird purring was back. Then her mind locked onto something else said. "Did you say pregnant?" The guides nod caused her to freeze and she looked down again. "But i don't look pregnant." And kami was that a word that Ranma had never though would be directed towards 'himself'.
"Was not far along." The guide pulled out a scroll unrolling it "This magic scroll, record name of each spring as formed."
Ranma slowly closed her eyes and reached deep into herself, focusing her aura inwards. Deeper and deeper her probe went following her own internal energy until...there! She felt something, a tiny barely existent twist to her aura. And at the center of that twist was a separate aura, tiny and almost non-existent but it was there. She was pregnant, probably not very far along at all to be not showing yet but she could feel it. The tiny aura felt...warm, brushing against her own ki like tiny fingers grasping her life force.
"Well this is easily enough dealt with." Genma stood with a grunt. "There are plenty of herbs and other chemicals that can take care of this little probl-" Genma let out a strangled 'gurk!' as furred fingers slammed closed on his neck.
"NO! You will not kill a ch1ld!" Ranma's shout filled the small building and Genma found himself lifted bodily off the floor and slammed into the wall of the hut by a very tall, very angry, pregnant teenage werecheetah that was suddenly acting with all the fury of a mother who's ch1ld's life was threatened.
Genma quickly added a notation to his thoughts on Ranma's condition, noting that female catgirl Ranma was just as scary as Nodoka when it came to children. "Sure thing." He croaked out gasping for breath as Ranma dropped him and turned back to the guide.
"If I'm pregnant how does this work. I can still turn back to being a guy." Not that Ranma was complaining, heck no, if he had his choice this curse would have never happened. But it had happened and now she had a ch1ld growing in her and it would be very, very cruel to end a life that had done nothing wrong.
"Pregnancy go on like normal. You not feel any different in guy form but ch1ld still grow inside girl form." The guide had seen only a couple such curses but he had of course read all the scrolls.
Frowning angrily at Genma for a moment Ranma turned to the guide once more. "Is there anywhere i can learn more about this?"
"Can go to Amazon village, but must be wary." Seeing Ranma's confusion the guide decided that for once he'd give a bit more than normal to the out-of-towners as they were. "Must avoid Musk dynasty warriors. Young mister customer changes into female werecheetah, musk will desire to capture young mister customer."
"Just great."
"A martial artists life is fraught with peril boy." Genma puffed up dramatically.
"If i wouldn't have to carry you i'd knock you out right now." Ranma snapped.
