Ranma Crossing Over to the Wild Side
By Paul Bennett aka Shadow
Chapter 3: Here's Ranma, again.
When the van pulled up in front of the shrine it was already starting to
get dark. Rei and Setsune had already change back into their normal
clothes, and dropped off the other inner senshi at their homes. Rei
opened the side door of than, got out and turned saying "Come on kitty,
this is our stop. Come on in and I'll get you some food and then a
bath. Come on Ranko-chan, come here."
Neko-Ranma-chan gets up, hops out of the van and follows the nice girl
into the house, as the van pulls away.
"Rei-chan is that you?" asks the old man that meets them at the front
door. "Oh, I see you've found a half-naked cat-girl. Did she just
follow you home?"
"Ha ha, very funny Grampa. We were all over town looking for her, Mina
found her in River Park killing a monster. I had to peel her out of her
bloody clothes and clean her up some, but she still has blood in her
hair, so I'm going to give her a bath. How did we break Ranma out of
the Neko-ken before Grampa?"
"Hmm, he came out of it when he woke up after falling asleep in your
grandmother's lap. So she should be fine in the morning, or after a
good cat nap."
"Ok, then it should be no problem, but I'll have to give the kitty a
bath. I'm not letting that blood dry in her hair anymore than I have
to, it's going to be a real mess as it is."
"Come on kitty, it's bath time." 'Hmm, I'm going to have to use lot's
of hot water and soap to get her hair clean.' Rei thinks as she leads
Neko-Ranma-chan to the bathroom.
Once they are in the bathroom and she starts filling the furo Rei says
"Lets get the rest of those nasty clothes off you." Rei gets the
cat-girl to sit up and manages to take off her t-shirt. "What? No bra?
and wearing boxers? and wearing a tuxedo at a wedding? Why are you
dressing like a boy? Hmm, no bindings, so you can't be trying to pass
for a boy as well endowed as you are. OK, up, lets get these boxers off
you, that's a good kitty. Roll over, all right, now it's my turn." As
she finishes getting the boxers past the cat-girls feet.
Rei finishes getting undressed and puts all the clothes into the hamper,
then turns off the water into the furo, and adjusts the water temp for
the hand-held showerhead. Then she sits on the bench and sort of
wrestles the cat-girl around until she is sitting on the floor below
Rei. "All right, now I'll just undo this pigtail and wash your hair."
Once she has the pigtail undone, Rei uses the showerhead to soak the
bloody hair, and uses shampoo to work up a lather, not noticing the
color change, or that Neko-Ranma-chan was now boy-type Ranma, until
Ranma says "Oh, that feels good."
The voice caught Rei's attention, the girl had come out of the Neko-ken,
but the sound wasn't what she was expecting, and she began to notice a
few things, like the black hair, the broad shoulders, the extra 9 inches
of height.
Ranma was also thinking 'Someone is washing my hair. Where am I? <In a
bathroom> How did I get here? <Don't know.> Who is washing my hair?
<Don't know, let's look and find out.> Alright.' He turns his head to
look and sees a naked girl very, very close to him. "Wow." 'She's naked!
<and gorgeous!> I'm NAKED!! I'm in deep SHIT!! <You got that one right,
should we run for it?> No, I'll take the hit.' After staring for a
second he quickly turns his head back, curling up and grabbing his nose
because of the nosebleed saying "I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry.
Ididn'tknowyouwerethere, Ididn'tmeantolook. ... How did I get here?"
thinking 'Why hasn't she started screaming and hitting me? <Maybe she
fainted? Maybe you should look and see.> No, lets wait a bit longer.'
Rei was confused and in shock, but she was also thinking 'The cat-girl
came out of the Neko-ken and changed into a boy? <Alright lets think
about this, the naked cat-girl is gone.> Check, where did the naked boy
come from? <Don't know, maybe the same place the cat-girl went.> That's
possible, but no portal, no flash, he has soap in his hair, and is
sitting in position she was. <And you fingers are still in his hair.>
Right, so the cat-girl did turn into a boy. Got it. <You are naked in
the bath with a naked boy.> I should scream and hit him! <Do you want
Gramps to run in here? Besides, you stripped him/her.> Right, I'll try
and stay calm and figure this out.'
"Alright, stay there and keep your eyes closed. Got it!"
"Yeah, not a problem."
"Who are you?"
"Saotome Ranma, sorry about this."
"Were you that cat-girl?"
"Yeah, so that's how I got here."
"I know about you and the Neko-ken, but how were you a girl?"
"You know about the Neko-ken?!" Ranma turns his head to look at her.
"Close your eyes! Turn around."
"Sorry, about that."
"Yeah, 9 years ago we met when you were a cat, and we played around
until you went to sleep in my Grandma's lap, we took care of you for a
couple weeks, then your dad showed up. Now tell me why you were a girl."
"OK, long story short, I got dumped into Nyanniichuan, Spring of Drowned
Girl, cursed to turn into a girl when splashed with cold water, hot
water changes me back."
"Wow, an actual magical curse. Alright, scoot forward, and keep your
eyes closed. I'll get out so that you can wash your hair, No peeking."
"OK, thanks Rei-chan." He says as the gets out of her way.
"You remembered."
"Well, you were one of the few friends I had while growing up on the road."
"I'll get dinner ready, so take your time and get your hair clean."
After she closes the screen door Ranma opens his eyes and notices that
the water around him is red, and runs his hands through his hair and
sees the blood on his hands and under his nails.
"Urk, Rei! I'm all bloody! What did I do?! Oh God! Did I kill someone?!"
"Ranma, it's OK! You didn't kill anyone! You fought a monster here in
Juuban, that's where the blood came from, you killed a monster, not a
person. I'll tell you about it at dinner."
"OK, thanks Rei-chan, sorry I freaked out."
"It's OK, anyone would freak out finding themselves all bloody, you
should have seen your clothes when we found you. I'm leaving you some
of my shrine clothing, it's loose enough you should be able to wear it,
I guess I'll have to go borrow some of gramps's underwear though, I
don't think you want these panties now."
"No panties, no bras, and no skirts! Other than that if it fits I'll
wear it, Unless it's Pink. No Pink!"
--------------------------
"Oh, Rei-chan, can you leave the food and come here for a couple of
minutes?"
"Yes, what is it Grandpa?" Rei says as she walks into the living room.
"I just caught a news update about our 'cat-girl', I got it on the VCR.
You should really see this, just rewind a bit more... Here it is, watch
this." He says hitting play on the remote.
-------
"We have a news flash, just over an hour ago the missing 'cat-girl'
Ranko Saotome killed a monster in Juuban River Park. We can see the
police with the body covered behind us, and they are marking off the
bloody hand and foot prints of the 'cat-girl' walking away from her
kill." says the TV reporter standing outside the police line. "We have
managed to aquire some pictures of the body from the person who found
it. Be warned these pictures are extremely graphic and may be
unsuitable for some viewers, so take a moment and send the kids out of
the room. We have talked to Tendo Nabiki who knows 'Ranko' the
'cat-girl' and Nabiki-san tells us that Neko-Ranko-chan would never
attack a person like this, but felt no need to hold her claws in when
fighting a monster. OK, the pictures are ready. This first shot is a
whole body shot of the monster, notice it's blue skin, bug eyes, and
clawed hands. Also the body is in a large pool of blood. This shot is
of some deep slashes on the back, in this shot you can see that the
claws actually cut cleanly through several ribs, and in this last shot
is what must have been the finishing blow to the neck, the cuts go from
8 to 12 inches deep, almost completely severing the head from the body,
killing it instantly."
"Well, that was certainly quite graphic." says the TV anchorman. "From
what was reported from the hospital, the young man who was wounded at
the wedding received many cuts requiring over 200 stitches, lost over a
liter of blood, and has a serious concussion, but the cuts were quite
shallow, certainly nothing like the wounds that the monster received,
and while serious the wounds to the young man were not life
threatening. This is a picture of Ranko." showing a picture of
Ranma-chan wearing a black tanktop and shorts doing a kata. "And this is
a picture of Neko-Ranko taken earlier today." The screen now shows a
snapshot of the same red-headed girl in a white tuxedo crouched down
with one hand on the ground, the other hand raised to strike with
glowing red blades projecting from her fingers. "She is should still be
wearing a white tuxedo, and at this point is probably dirty and covered
in blood. If you see here please call the police or the number on the
bottom of the screen, there is a reward of 50,000 yen for information
that leads to the capture of the cat-girl, but you should not attempt to
capture her yourselves. And now we will return you to you regular TV show."
-------
"I guess you weren't kidding about her killing a monster. We knew the
Neko-ken was dangerous from seeing Ranma rip up that tree when he was a
little boy, but This." Gramps says.
"Yeah, Kami-sama, 12 inches deep through skin AND bone, clean perfect
cuts. She must have gone really easy on that guy." Rei say is a quiet,
shocked voice.
"So, how is the Neko-Ranko-chan doing?"
"Well she came out of the Neko-ken and is washing his hair now, he
should be out in a couple minutes."
"He?" asks Gramps.
"Uh yeah, I guess I'll let him tell you when he comes out, I'll bring
out the food." Rei says quickly making her escape into the kitchen.
Rei brought out the food and set the plates, keeping her mouth shut
until Ranma walked in with is hair back in a pig-tail, wearing white and
red shrine clothing.
"Hi, I'm Saotome Ranma, sorry about this."
"Right, it's been 9 years, and you've grown up, but I recognize you.
But where is that girl 'Ranko'? She must be you're sister."
"Yeah, about that, Rei-chan, can I have a kettle of hot water and a
pitcher of cold?" Ranma asks. "I need the water to demonstrate my curse."
"Not a problem Ranma-kun" Rei says going into the kitchen and returning
with the water.
"No one believes it with out seeing it, but about 2 years ago when Genma
and I were training in China at a place called Jusenkyo we were both
cursed when we fell into different cursed springs. The curse is to
assume the form of whatever drowned in that spring when splashed with
cold water, and hot water is needed to change back to normal. Genma
fell into Shonmaoniichuan, spring of drowned panda. I.." Ranma says
while pouring the cold water on his, now her head. "fell into
Nyanniichuan, spring of drowned girl."
"... Um, wow. So does it hurt?" Rei asks.
"Nope, sometimes I don't even notice I've change right away." answers Ranma.
"Then it's just the body that changes? You don't think like a girl or
remember the girl who drowned in the spring?" asks Gramps.
"Just the body, I don't have any memory of the chinese girl who fell in
the spring 1500 years ago. I probably don't look like her, I look like
a younger, shorter version of my Mom, thank god I get my looks from her
and not Oyaji."
"That's incredible, Genma turns into a panda, serves him right. Hahaha."
"Yeah well, he doesn't seems to mind that much, he spends about half the
time as a panda, pulling out those damn signs for nowhere, he usually
sleeps as a panda. It's not as bad as some of the other curses, I know
people who turn into a pig, a duck, a c-c-cat, a huge minotaur beast
with wings and octopus tentacles, and a six-armed three-faced
fire-throwing woman."
"Wow, sounds like your the lucky one. So, Rei, what do you think of
Ranma's curse?" Rei's grandfather asks her.
"Yeah, your's doesn't sound that bad Ranma."
"You Have No Idea! It's made a Hell out of my life at times."
"Well, since Rei doesn't mind I have some news for both of you, 9 years
ago before you left Ranma, me and Genma made a pact that you and Rei
would marry."
"OH KAMI-SAMA!! Not another one!" Ranma yells grabbing his hair and
beating his head into the table.
"RANMA! What do you mean another one?" Rei asks, a little startled at
his reaction. "And WHY didn't I hear about this arrangement before GRAMPS!"
"Uh well, after he got the dowery, he sort of grabbed Ranma and took
off, we hadn't seen or heard of him or Ranma until the news of the
'wedding'. Ranma that was your wedding wasn't it! You were wearing a
white tuxedo, what's the idea when your engaged to Rei!"
"Oh man, it never stops. OK, here is the deal, no interuptions OK. I'm
engaged to Tendo Akane or one of her sisters, to unite the Tendo and
Saotome Ryus of Anything Goes Martial Arts. I'm also engaged to Kuonji
Ukyo, and my father took her family's yattai as her dowery. I was
engaged to a Kaori, but got out of that one. I have a Chinese Amazon
girl named Shampoo who has to marry me because I defeated her in a
fight. Kuno Kodachi is a crazy girl who want's to marry me, but I'm not
engaged to her thank the kami. And then, there is you, Hino Rei. You
got a better shot than Kodachi or Shampoo, because I'm not going to
marry them, one is crazy, and the other would drag me back to her small
village in China."
"So Hino-san, what did my old man take for Rei's dowery?"
"Well, there were 3 priceless scrolls covering Ki-building techniques,
Ki-based self-healing techniques, and Ki-sensing for increased
perception in battle. As well as about 50,000 yen and what provisions he
could carry."
"So, that's where those came from, it wasn't as stupid as most of
Oyagi's training, and those techniques helped me a lot. So that makes
Rei's engagement legit. I'll have to discuss this with my mother. Of
course, I'll need time to court Rei properly, I believe a year is
customary."
"But, weren't you too marry Tendo Akane earlier today?" Rei asks.
"Well, that wasn't my idea, we had just gotten back from an adventure in
China when I was knocked out and dressed in that tuxedo, and dragged in
front of the priest before the bombs started flying. But with a new
fiancee ANY weddings will have to wait another year." Ranma explains to her.
"Yes, yes, I guess that is the best you can do under these
circumstances." Gramps agrees with Ranma. "And your both still young
and you have another full year of high school."
"All right let's eat." Ranma says before tearing to his food with his
chopsticks becoming a blur between his plate and his mouth, occasionally
snatching bit of food from the serving dishes.
"RANMA! (Kami, he's worse than Usagi.) Where did you learn to eat like
that. Don't you have any manners?" Rei yells at him.
"Eheheh, sorry about that Rei-chan, it's a bad habit from being with
Oyaji for 10 years on the road. Everything was training, even dinner,
we would fight over the food with our chopsticks, defending our food
while stealing off the other's plate while eating as fast as possible.
Excellent speed training by the way, I even beat Picolet Chardin in a
Martial Arts Dining contest, and the Chardin Ryu training includes
stretching the mouth out to hold a watermelon and lengthening the tounge
till it's over a meter in length as well as incredible hand and mouth
speed. I had to rely on better speed and special techniques to defeat a
deformed mutant eating machine like that." Ranma explains.
"Special techniques?" Rei asks in curiosity.
"The Gourmet de Foie Gras, a technique relying on incredible speed and
misdirection that allows you to feed your opponent the food off of your
plate without anyone noticing."
"I'm sorry I asked, but could you eat slower, we don't fight over the
diner table here."
"Sure, no problem Rei-chan, my Mom is also trying to break my of the
habit." Ranma replies.
After they finish dinner. "Ranma-kun, grandpa taped some news you
should see. Watch this." Rei says as see hits the play putton.

-------
"Oh Wow, I really messed that monster up. I don't remember anything I
do in the Neko-ken, so when I came to I thought I might have killed
someone. Wait, I did put someone in the hospital. Excuse me Hino-san
may I use you telephone to call home and get Nabiki-san to call off the
man-hunt."
"Of course you may, Ranma-san. But we should let Rei call first to
claim the reward don't you think?"
"Reward, yeah, 50,000 yen, but I'll have to split it with Minako at
least. Ranma-kun, what's the phone number?"
---------------------
05-02-04 Extended some scenes explaining Ranma's curse and eating
habits, also removed some OOC material about Rei's engagement.
Also the scrolls from the Hino dowery explain some of why Ranma is
better than his father, Ranma has been learning and using these Ki
techniques and exercises since he was 8 years old.

threatening. This is a picture of Ranko." showing a picture of
Ranma-chan wearing a black tanktop and shorts doing a kata. "And this is
a picture of Neko-Ranko taken earlier today." The screen now shows a
snapshot of the same red-headed girl in a white tuxedo crouched down
with one hand on the ground, the other hand raised to strike with
glowing red blades projecting from her fingers. "She is should still be
wearing a white tuxedo, and at this point is probably dirty and covered
in blood. If you see here please call the police or the number on the
bottom of the screen, there is a reward of 50,000 yen for information
that leads to the capture of the cat-girl, but you should not attempt to
capture her yourselves. And now we will return you to you regular TV show."

"I guess you weren't kidding about her killing a monster. We knew the
Neko-ken was dangerous from seeing Ranma rip up that tree when he was a
little boy, but This." Gramps says.
"Yeah, Kami-sama, 12 inches deep through skin AND bone, clean perfect
cuts. She must have gone really easy on that guy." Rei say is a quiet,
shocked voice.
"So, how is the Neko-Ranko-chan doing?"
"Well she came out of the Neko-ken and is washing his hair now, he
should be out in a couple minutes."
"He?" asks Gramps.
"Uh yeah, I guess I'll let him tell you when he comes out, I'll bring
out the food." Rei says quickly making her escape into the kitchen.
Rei brought out the food and set the plates, keeping her mouth shut
until Ranma walked in with is hair back in a pig-tail, wearing white and
red shrine clothing.
"Hi, I'm Saotome Ranma, sorry about this."
"Right, it's been 9 years, and you've grown up, but I recognize you.
But where is that girl 'Ranko'? She must be you're sister."
"Yeah, about that, Rei-chan, can I have a kettle of hot water and a
pitcher of cold?" Ranma asks. "I need the water to demonstrate my curse."
"Not a problem Ranma-kun" Rei says going into the kitchen and returning
with the water.
"No one believes it with out seeing it, but about 2 years ago when Genma
and I were training in China at a place called Jusenkyo we were both
cursed when we fell into different cursed springs. The curse is to
assume the form of whatever drowned in that spring when splashed with
cold water, and hot water is needed to change back to normal. Genma
fell into Shonmaoniichuan, spring of drowned panda. I.." Ranma says
while pouring the cold water on his, now her head. "fell into
Nyanniichuan, spring of drowned girl."
"... Um, wow. So does it hurt?" Rei asks.
"Nope, sometimes I don't even notice I've change right away." answers Ranma.
"Then it's just the body that changes? You don't think like a girl or
remember the girl who drowned in the spring?" asks Gramps.
"Just the body, I don't have any memory of the chinese girl who fell in
the spring 1500 years ago. I probably don't look like her, I look like
a younger, shorter version of my Mom, thank god I get my looks from her
and not Oyaji."
"That's incredible, Genma turns into a panda, serves him right. Hahaha."
"Yeah well, he doesn't seems to mind that much, he spends about half the
time as a panda, pulling out those damn signs for nowhere, he usually
sleeps as a panda. It's not as bad as some of the other curses, I know
people who turn into a pig, a duck, a c-c-cat, a huge minotaur beast
with wings and octopus tentacles, and a six-armed three-faced
fire-throwing woman."
"Wow, sounds like your the lucky one. So, Rei, what do you think of
Ranma's curse?" Rei's grandfather asks her.
"Yeah, your's doesn't sound that bad Ranma."
"You Have No Idea! It's made a Hell out of my life at times."
"Well, since Rei doesn't mind I have some news for both of you, 9 years
ago before you left Ranma, me and Genma made a pact that you and Rei
would marry."
"OH KAMI-SAMA!! Not another one!" Ranma yells grabbing his hair and
beating his head into the table.
"RANMA! What do you mean another one?" Rei asks, a little startled at
his reaction. "And WHY didn't I hear about this arrangement before GRAMPS!"
"Uh well, after he got the dowery, he sort of grabbed Ranma and took
off, we hadn't seen or heard of him or Ranma until the news of the
'wedding'. Ranma that was your wedding wasn't it! You were wearing a
white tuxedo, what's the idea when your engaged to Rei!"
"Oh man, it never stops. OK, here is the deal, no interuptions OK. I'm
engaged to Tendo Akane or one of her sisters, to unite the Tendo and
Saotome Ryus of Anything Goes Martial Arts. I'm also engaged to Kuonji
Ukyo, and my father took her family's yattai as her dowery. I was
engaged to a Kaori, but got out of that one. I have a Chinese Amazon
girl named Shampoo who has to marry me because I defeated her in a
fight. Kuno Kodachi is a crazy girl who want's to marry me, but I'm not
engaged to her thank the kami. And then, there is you, Hino Rei. You
got a better shot than Kodachi or Shampoo, because I'm not going to
marry them, one is crazy, and the other would drag me back to her small
village in China."
"So Hino-san, what did my old man take for Rei's dowery?"
"Well, there were 3 priceless scrolls covering Ki-building techniques,
Ki-based self-healing techniques, and Ki-sensing for increased
perception in battle. As well as about 50,000 yen and what provisions he
could carry."
"So, that's where those came from, it wasn't as stupid as most of
Oyagi's training, and those techniques helped me a lot. So that makes
Rei's engagement legit. I'll have to discuss this with my mother. Of
course, I'll need time to court Rei properly, I believe a year is
customary."
"But, weren't you too marry Tendo Akane earlier today?" Rei asks.
"Well, that wasn't my idea, we had just gotten back from an adventure in
China when I was knocked out and dressed in that tuxedo, and dragged in
front of the priest before the bombs started flying. But with a new
fiancee ANY weddings will have to wait another year." Ranma explains to her.
"Yes, yes, I guess that is the best you can do under these
circumstances." Gramps agrees with Ranma. "And your both still young
and you have another full year of high school."
"All right let's eat." Ranma says before tearing to his food with his
chopsticks becoming a blur between his plate and his mouth, occasionally
snatching bit of food from the serving dishes.
"RANMA! (Kami, he's worse than Usagi.) Where did you learn to eat like
that. Don't you have any manners?" Rei yells at him.
"Eheheh, sorry about that Rei-chan, it's a bad habit from being with
Oyaji for 10 years on the road. Everything was training, even dinner,
we would fight over the food with our chopsticks, defending our food
while stealing off the other's plate while eating as fast as possible.
Excellent speed training by the way, I even beat Picolet Chardin in a
Martial Arts Dining contest, and the Chardin Ryu training includes
stretching the mouth out to hold a watermelon and lengthening the tounge
till it's over a meter in length as well as incredible hand and mouth
speed. I had to rely on better speed and special techniques to defeat a
deformed mutant eating machine like that." Ranma explains.
"Special techniques?" Rei asks in curiosity.
"The Gourmet de Foie Gras, a technique relying on incredible speed and
misdirection that allows you to feed your opponent the food off of your
plate without anyone noticing."
"I'm sorry I asked, but could you eat slower, we don't fight over the
diner table here."
"Sure, no problem Rei-chan, my Mom is also trying to break my of the
habit." Ranma replies.
After they finish dinner. "Ranma-kun, grandpa taped some news you
should see. Watch this." Rei says as see hits the play putton.
-------
"We have a news flash, just over an hour ago the missing 'cat-girl'
Ranko Saotome killed a monster in Juuban River Park. We can see the
police with the body covered behind us, and they are marking off the
bloody hand and foot prints of the 'cat-girl' walking away from her
kill." says the TV reporter standing outside the police line. "We have
managed to aquire some pictures of the body from the person who found
it. Be warned these pictures are extremely graphic and may be
unsuitable for some viewers, so take a moment and send the kids out of
the room. We have talked to Tendo Nabiki who knows 'Ranko' the
'cat-girl' and Nabiki-san tells us that Neko-Ranko-chan would never
attack a person like this, but felt no need to hold her claws in when
fighting a monster. OK, the pictures are ready. This first shot is a
whole body shot of the monster, notice it's blue skin, bug eyes, and
clawed hands. Also the body is in a large pool of blood. This shot is
of some deep slashes on the back, in this shot you can see that the
claws actually cut cleanly through several ribs, and in this last shot
is what must have been the finishing blow to the neck, the cuts go from
8 to 12 inches deep, almost completely severing the head from the body,
killing it instantly."
"Well, that was certainly quite graphic." says the TV anchorman. "From
what was reported from the hospital, the young man who was wounded at
the wedding received many cuts requiring over 200 stitches, lost over a
liter of blood, and has a serious concussion, but the cuts were quite
shallow, certainly nothing like the wounds that the monster received,
and while serious the wounds to the young man were not life
threatening. This is a picture of Ranko." showing a picture of
Ranma-chan wearing a black tanktop and shorts doing a kata. "She is
wearing a white tuxedo, and at this point is probably dirty and covered
in blood. If you see here please call the police or the number on the
bottom of the screen, there is a reward of 50,000 yen for information
that leads to the capture of the cat-girl, but you should not attempt
to capture her yourselves. And now we will return you to you regular TV
show."
-------
"Oh Wow, I really messed that monster up. I don't remember anything I
do in the Neko-ken, so when I came to I thought I might have killed
someone. Wait, I did put someone in the hospital. Excuse me Hino-san
may I use you telephone to call home and get Nabiki-san to call off the
man-hunt."
"Of course you may, Ranma-san. But we should let Rei call first to
claim the reward don't you think?"
"Reward, yeah, 50,000 yen, but I'll have to split it with Minako at
least. Ranma-kun, what's the phone number?"
---------------------
05-02-04 Extended some scenes explaining Ranma's curse and eating
habits, also removed some OOC material about Rei's engagement.
Also the scrolls from the Hino dowery explain some of why Ranma is
better than his father, Ranma has been learning and using these Ki
techniques and exercises since he was 8 years old.
