Less a Man Ranma searched the entire town before giving up. She just could find Ryoga. It seemed the boy had gotten himself lost... again. Lord only knew when he would show up. So, Ranma gave up on that and thought of what else she could do while awaiting the girl's decision. Kuno was out of the question. Mousse, while nice enough, was too into Shampoo to go for her. While walking down the street, Ranma noticed a man coming toward her. At first, she dismissed him. However, upon closer inspection, she could't help but notice what a perfect specimen of man this was. He was almost exactly like his male form, sans pig tail of course. He was also a little more mature looking. Ranma instantly fell in love. The man stopped when he reached her, much to Ranma's excitement. She looked up into his bright brownish eyes with adoration and longing. He looked back with a similar expression, with something else mixed in that Ranma couldn't quite place. "Ranma-chan." The man stated mildly. He seemed to be holding himself back from something, but Ranma couldn't guage what it was. "Yes?" She asked, trying to make her voice as attractive and sultry as possible. The man seemed really turned on. As a former guy, Ranma knew the signs quite well. Even though the sudden growing of the man's pants was more than enough for anyone really. "I have come for you." He answered. He really seemed to be trying not to do something. Ranma tried to act taken aback. She had assumed as much. Who was this man? Which one of his fiancee's had decided to make the change? Who would he profess his undying love to? He had to know, as the man before him looked nothing like any one of the women he knew. Perhaps the water had had an interesting effect? "Oh? Well, show me why." She replied with a tone that would make most men lose it right then and there. As a matter of fact, the man before her seemed to. His face took on a look of pure ecstasy and his eyes lit up like it was Christmas Eve. He lunged forward, as if something in him was snapping, and took her into a mightly bear hug. Ranma squealed with joy. Whoever it was who had chosen really knew what she liked. Strong and forceful, with a hint of naughtiness. The naughtiness was making itself quite apparent as it jabbed into her thigh. She sighed as she felt his hands on her chest. He was getting great pleasure from just rubbing her there. Well, whatever, she thought, feels good no matter what his reasons are. The man leaned forward and whispered into her ear. "Now, sweeto, you're gonna have to put on that panty show for me." Ranma froze. She couldn't have just heard that right. However, mostly from reflex, she cried out, "Happosai?!" The biggest, most lecherous grin she had ever seen exploded onto his face. "That's right, Ranma-chan! Aren't you so happy?" "Uh, how?" Ranma wondered out loud. "How did the water do this to me?" He filled in for her. Ranma simply nodded. "Well, the water wasn't just guy water. It was from the Spring of Drowned Strapping Young Man, only four pools away from the Nannichuan we all know and love." "So...?" "Don't you see? My younger self was not all that strapping, so the curse modified me. I haven't felt so strong, or horny, for two hundred years! Come one! Let's find someplace private." His eyes lit with a look that could only be Happosai's. Ranma chewed on this for a minute while Happy picked her up and began to run for the nearest hotel. While he was the same old lech, he was no longer old. One good point. Also, he was strikingly handsome, and more than well endowed by the creator. He was strong, and knew a lifetimes, times three, worth of martial arts. Even if he was perverted, nobody is perfect. He was her ideal man! Having logically, with the help of her hormones, figured it out, she smiled and held him around the neck. Unfortunately, the man's heart, no matter how young and strong, couldn't hold out under the dilerious happiness he was feeling that night. So, the next morning, with a tear in her eye, Ranma had to say goodbye as the ambulance, without the lights running, took him away. It seemed her fiancee's couldn't give up their womanhood for their, they thought, insane man/woman. So, Ranma never saw them again. Finally, she met up with Ryoga a month later somewhere near Kyoto. After explaining the situation to Ryoga, Ranma began to travel with him. After two years of amazing adventure (another story ^_^) Ryoga proposed to Ranma. The wedding was held October 3rd, 2000 in Las Vagas, where Ranma and Ryoga had become a great act and were making a great deal of money. November 2nd, 2001 Ranma gave birth to Ranga, a girl. What happens from now on is also, another story....
