Chapter 5: Ranma’s New Clothes
AN: Thanks for the inspiration Crystalblaze from addventure.

“Hmm, I wonder where pops went,” Ranma mumbled to herself while descending the stairs.
As she walked toward the dining room, she passed Akane in the hall.
Akane turned toward Ranma eyes wide. “Ranma what the hell are you wearing?”
Ranma thought a second before answering. I can’t lie worth crap. So I might as well tell the truth. “I’m not sure it just appeared without warning, in a similar fashion in which i made the lighting. I decided I liked it so I didn’t bother to change.”
“Okaaay … by the way there is a strange man in the living room with dad.”
“Strange man?”
“Yah, he’s chubby, has glasses, and a bandanna around his head.”
“Oh, I think that’s just pops. I probably better get in there.”
“Okay. By the way you look cute in that outfit.”
Ranma blinks at that comment as Akane walks away.
Ranma sighed and mumbled “ ‘Cute?’ Time to face the music.”
Before he could enter the dining room Akane rushed back.
“WAIT. You said your father? When did he arrive? Why didn’t anybody see him come in?”
“The answer to all of that is… it’s a long story I’ll tell you later 'kay?”
“Okay, but I expect you to keep that promise.”
As Akane leaves Ranma continues to walk toward the dining room.
Upon entering the room her father turned toward her and his eyes widened, “BOY WHY ARE YOU STILL A GIRL? AND WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING?”
“Geeze pops, calm down, and don’t give yourself a heart attack. I feel more comfortable like this. These clothes just appeared and since they are comfortable I decided to wear them.”
“Mr. Saotome? What did you mean still a girl?” Akane asked from the door.
“Why are you here I thought you were heading upstairs?” Ranma asked surprised.
“I could tell from your expression that you were expecting something unpleasant.”
“Oh my.”
“I’m kind of curious myself Akane,” Nabiki commented.
“Well it’s like this a couple of months ago…”
As Ranma starts explaining Genma started to sweat bullets as he realizes that this could hurt his plans…

Queue explanation sequence describing what happened at Jusenkyo.

“… And you see that’s what happened.”
"So why are you staying in your cursed form? Are you doing it just to make fools of us?" Akane Demanded angrily.
“Uhhh no. It’s just that ever since a certain point after I got my curse it’s become uncomfortable being in my guy form… it’s like there’s something missing when I’m a guy.”
Nabiki smirked and said “Most people would think that it would be the opposite way around Ranma.”
“I’m not talking about body parts…”
“What are you talking about Boy? The only thing you’re missing is your common sense and currently your manhood.” After saying that he grabbed a teapot off the table and then he doused Ranma with the hot water in it.
A stunned silence permeated the room.
“What?”
“Umm Saotome, your naked.”
“You PERVERT.”
Ranma flinched upon hearing this because he thought that their friendship was ruined. and when Akane picked up the table he was visibly worried that he was going to be the target… but he was pleasantly surprised when she started pounding Genma with it.
As Akane pounded Genma repeatedly with the dining room table and Ranma covered himself with a blush that was visibly covering most of his body, Kasumi noted, "As he was trying to warn you, things he has in the girl body aren't there as a boy... including those clothes."
Nabiki raised a eyebrow at Kasumi's aplomb as she commented, "Daddy, you really hung around with this guy?", thumbing toward the Mashed Genma her sister was preparing. While Soun stared in shock…
Ranma waffled for a second on what to do about his lack of clothes. He had two choices run to the bathroom or his room for clothes or run to the closer kitchen for cold water. He then made a snap decision. He streaked --literally-- toward the kitchen. Upon getting there he turned on the cold water and splashed himself. She Felt relief as she once again sensed the binary field. She concentrated and reformed her outfit. “Stupid old man… *sigh*. How can I face Akane again?” hearing that the preparation of mashed Genma was still going on she said, “One thing is for sure I’m not leaving until she calms down.”
Suddenly it goes quiet. Ranma waits a few more minutes then she goes back to the living room.
Upon returning to the dining room she noticed that the table is back in place, looking a bit battered, but what do you expect? She also noticed two less noteworthy things, a crying Soun and an unconscious Genma.
“So what I miss?”
“Nothing important just Akane finishing up with Genma,” Nabiki commented.
“That explains the beat up table, but why is your father crying?”
“We told him that we didn’t want this engagement and refused to go through with it.”
“YOU WILL GO THROUGH WITH IT!” Soun yelled as he went into his demon head technique. He then dropped out of the demon head and said, “It’s a matter of family honor.”
“So father your idea of family honor is that the name of one of your three daughters be dragged through the mud? What about our family name?”
Everyone looked at Kasumi in shock before Soun cried out, “What do you mean?”
“Well Ranma obviously feels more comfortable as a girl, so what will everyone say about whichever one of us is chosen to be her fiancée? What will they say about you? Lastly what about her reputation, or is her reputation of no importance to you?”
“All that’s unimportant, what is important is that the schools must be joined.”
Ranma swallows what pride she had in her girl form and… “*sigh*. Mr. Tendo there is one other problem with this body besides being female…”
“And what is that?”
“It is useless for martial arts I don’t have any strength, speed or endurance and even my balance is mostly shot. So how can you unite the schools when the heir to one can’t practice or defend the school in the form in which the heir is most comfortable?”
“But…”
“Face it dad this idea won’t work.”
“If you need any one to blame, blame pops he took me to train there.”
Soun started to cry again. “The schools will never be joined now, *WAAAHHHHHHH*.”
“Now Ranma why didn’t you tell us about being a guy?” Akane demanded glaring at Ranma.
“Well Akane at first I didn’t get a chance… your father fainted on us. Then it simply didn’t come up in conversation. Third you seemed to have a problem with guys so I decided not to risk our friendship. Lastly I’ve been spending a lot of time as a girl lately anyway…”
Akane sighed and asked: “So are you going to school as a girl?”
“I don’t know… I have to think on that one.”
