             Revelations and Revisions Pt3
             (A continuation of From a Different Viewpoint)

    The next day was bright and cheerful.  Johnathon was unaware that as
of that morning he was in a great deal of danger from several sources.
School went uneventfully that week.  (At least, uneventfully for
Furinkan High.)  Johnathon went to the Tendo Dojo to continue his
training twice that week.  He sparred with both Ranma and Akane, and
even went a round with Mr. Saotome in his Panda form.

    On thursday, Akane asked him to spar with her using his felinoid
form.  Johnathon only hesitated a bit before agreeing.  He knew that
Akane was an experienced martial artist, she knew what she was doing.
Akane brought him some cold water and splashed him.  They squared off
inside the Dojo.

    Ranma had sat down against a wall to watch.  He was worried that
Akane had bitten off more than she could chew.  He decided to keep his
mouth shut, he was slowly learning to avoid saying insulting things to
Akane.  Akane attacked first, charging forward with an aggressive
assault.  Johnathon defended easily, his greater speed making it much
easier then when he was human.  He started returning her attack, and
Akane was slowly forced into the defensive.  He got in a blow then
another, and another.  Johnathon made sure to pull each punch and kick
at the last moment, so Akane really wasn't taking any damage.

    He tripped her with a sweep and she easily rolled to her feet
without pause.  Johnathon did not let up, forcing her back, after a
dozen more minor hits he called a halt.  Akane had been heating up,
getting angry slowly.  With an effort she controlled her reaction.

    "Come on John-san, don't stop yet, I'm just getting the hang of
it."  Akane smiled gamely.

    Ranma looked worried.  "Akane?"  She shot him an angry look and he
shut up.

    "All right Akane."  Johnathon got back into his stance.  "Begin!"
Akane started off a bit better this time, but Johnathon used his speed
to full advantage.  He started to fight at full speed, still pulling his
punches, but only holding back his full strength.  Quickly Akane began
to tire, forced to perform past her peak ability to compete.  After a
minute, Johnathon had knocked Akane to the floor again, she rose a bit
too slow, and he dropped her again. Placing his open palm against her
forehead he shoved her towards the ground head first.  He stopped her
fall at the last second with the other hand.

    "Bang, you're dead."  He said cheerfully.  He rose swiftly and stood
back.

    Akane got up slowly and forced a smile.  "Thanks Johnathon, I
learned a lot."

    "I can tell."  Johnathon said nodding in agreement.  "You did much
better the second time, you learn very fast!"  Akane looked surprised at
the approval in his voice.  She looked at Ranma, expecting him to be
gagging in disagreement or getting ready with an insult.  She was
astonished to see him nodding.  He caught her eye and she could see his
agreement.

    <Ranma... believes in me?>  Akane thought incredulously.

    Johnathon and Ranma sparred then, while Akane watched.  It was a
relatively uneven match. Both Ranma and Johnathon had learned a lot from
their previous matches, but Johnathon was far behind Ranma in skill and
strength.  He was about as fast, but that was the only reason he could
last more than a second against Ranma.  Johnathon had seen Ranma
demonstrate some of his special techniques and had heard about other.
He knew for a fact that if Ranma went at him all out he wouldn't stand a
chance, but sparring Ranma didn't use his special techniques.

    A couple of minutes later Johnathon called a halt.  "Enough!"  He
picked himself slowly off the floor and rubbed gingerly at his new
collection of light bruises.  "Thanks for the session Ranma, it was
fun."  He started limping toward the house.  "Time for some hot water,
so I can go home in peace."

    As if on cue, Kasumi appeared with a kettle.  Akane giggled to
herself as she saw Johnathon conceal his limp instantly upon seeing
Kasumi.  She showed him the kettle.  "Johnathon-san, I thought you might
want to change back after your sparring."

    Johnathon blinked  "Thank you Kasumi, that is very thoughtful."  He
ducked his head so she could douse him.  "Ah, that's better."  He looked
her in the eyes when the change was complete.  "So,will Saturday at
seven o'clock be all right with you Kasumi-chan?"

    She smiled.  "That would be perfect."

    "Would you like to go anywhere in particular Kasumi-chan?"
Johnathon asked politely,  "I chose the last time so if you'd like to go
anywhere in particular?"

    Kasumi looked faintly surprised then thoughtful.  "We had fun last
week."  She offered at last.

    "We did at that."  He agreed with a grin.  "Dinner and a movie it is
then."  Kasumi and Johnathon shared a happy smile.

    Kasumi spoke first.  "Johnathon, would you care to stay for supper?"

    He nodded gratefully.  "I would love to!  Your cooking is something
not to be missed."

    "Why don't you go get cleaned up then, dinner will be in about
twenty minutes."

    Dinner was delicious as usual, Ranma and Genma ate for six and Soun
chatted happily with his eldest daughters new boyfriend.  Johnathon was
polite and subdued.  He ate slowly, but with obvious relish, taking
small helping for seconds.

 Soun babbled on.  "It's so nice to see Kasumi dating finally!  Ranma,
when are you going to ask Akane out on a date?"

    Genma joined in.  "Yes Ranma, it's about time you and Akane went out
together."

    Ranma and Akane fidgeted and Johnathon noticed Kasumi's expression
turn to one of mild concern.  He looked at her and caught her eyes, then
pointedly looked back at Akane and Ranma.  Then he looked back at her,
his eyebrows raised with a silent question.  Kasumi smiled and nodded
understanding.

    Johnathon spoke up, getting a word in edgewise.  "Ranma, Akane,
would you like to join Kasumi and I Saturday night?  We could have a
double date."  Everyone but Kasumi looked at Johnathon with surprise.

    Kasumi just smiled.  <He's so thoughtful.>

    Soun pounced on the idea like Genma would a 100 yen coin.  "Capital
idea Johnathon-kun!"  Genma nodded vigorously in support.  Nabiki looked
thoughtful.  Ranma looked at Akane and saw that she was looking back at
him expectantly.  Somehow he had expected her to immediately reject the
idea.  As a matter of fact, he was surprised that he hadn't done so
himself.  But... Akane looked almost, happy with the idea.

    "Sure, I guess we can go along."  Ranma said, trying to act casual.
(And failing)  "Just to make sure everything goes ok with Kasumi's date,
no freak accidents or nothing."  He wasn't sure why he had agreed, but
somehow he didn't mind.

    Kasumi was pleased.  "Yes Ranma, you certainly saved the day last
Saturday.  You know, I've never been on a double date before."

    Akane nodded cheerfully.  "It'll be fun big sister, I don't get many
chances to do anything fun with you."  <Ranma just wants to play hero.
Oh well, it is our first real date we'll have been on.>

    Ranma's thoughts were similar.  <Akane just wants to spend some time
with Kasumi.  Oh well, it is our first real date.>

    Nabiki imagined what might happen and shuddered.  <Ranma thinks he's
going to be helping them!  Fat chance, I see disaster in the making.>

    Under the floorboards, Sasuke the Kuno family ninja snuck off.
<Master Kuno and Mistress Kodachi will wish to know about this!>

    The next day at school Kuno approached Nabiki at lunch.  He had
started to protest his indignation at their coming date to Ranma and
Akane at the gate that morning but they had jumped on his face before he
could finish his first sentence.  <How rude.>

    Kuno was in his usual rant.  "Nabiki Tendo I must know everything
about this supposed date between my beloved Akane and that treacherous
fiend Saotome!"

    Nabiki looked curtly at him.  "I'll tell you where they went on
their last date for 10000 yen."

    "What!  Their last date?"  The deranged Kendoist looked at her
suspiciously.  "And why should I pay for such outdated information?"

    Nabiki shrugged.  "They said they would be doing the same thing this
time Kuno baby, but if you don't want to know..."  Kuno slapped the
money on the table.  "It was Ma Maisions, you know the new French
place?"

    Kuno stood up with a flourish.  "Ah, now I will thwart the evil
Saotome's schemes!  I shall thrash him severely indeed!"  He began his
characteristic laugh.

    Nabiki shook her head sadly.  "Oh Kuno-chan, you're going to fight
him in an expensive French restaurant?  Very crude."

    Kuno paused.  "Hmmm, it would not do for the great Tatiwati Kuno to
be anything but elegant in his methods."

    "That's right Kuno-chan."  Nabiki said patronizingly.  What you need
is a date to go with you, so you can subtly sway your beloved with
jealously."

    Kuno frowned at the (for him) complex thought.  "Subtle eh?  But who
could I take to such a date who's heart would not be utterly broken by
knowledge that I sought another?"

    Nabiki grinned like a cat.  "Oh, I can think of someone."

    Saturday night rolled approached and seven o'clock rolled around.
Johnathon came up to the door right on time.

    Soun opened the door and let him in.  "Welcome Johnathon-kun, Kasumi
will be right down."

    Johnathon had dressed semi formally in a gray sport coat, (The
second of the two he owned) and blue collared shirt with no tie.  Ranma
came down first, in his nicest Chinese silk shirt.  It was red with a
multicolored dragon curling around it and a black collar.  He looked
good, Johnathon was impressed.

    Akane and Kasumi came down together.  Akane in a yellow dress,
Kasumi in a blue one.  Both women looked beautiful.

    Johnathon said as much.  "You both look gorgeous tonight!  Don't you
think so Ranma?"  Ranma was speechless but managed a nod.  The foursome
gathered in the hall but before they could go Nabiki appeared at the top
of the stairs in a slinky red dress with long red gloves. and started
down.  Soun was snapping a "commemorative photo"  of the two couples
when they all saw her.

    Akane spoke first.  "Nabiki?"

    "I'm going out with Kuno-chan tonight daddy."  Nabiki said
innocently.  "He's taking me to Ma Masions.  I'll be meeting him
there."  She winked at her flabbergasted family and went out the door.

    Johnathon looked at Kasumi, Akane and Ranma.  "So, who would like
Italian?"  They looked back at him and started to laugh.  He continued
blithely.  "Somehow I don't feel like French food tonight."  Even Kasumi
chuckled at that, it was pretty funny.

    Later as the foursome headed unconcernedly down the street towards
the Italian restaurant Johnathon had picked out, they chatted away about
various topics, unaware of their shadowy pursuit.

    Earlier that day Ryoga had been wandering desperately searching for
Ma Masions.  Thursday night Akane had confided in her pet pig all about
her coming date with Ranma.  Ryoga had set out that very night looking.
It had been forty eight hours since then and he was getting desperate.
He smelled food and decided to to check if the smell was French food.
Miraculously he picked the right direction and went into the restaurant
the smell was coming from.

    "Is this Ma Masions?"  He asked dazedly, feeling a bit week from two
days without food.

    "No it isn't sugar,"  Said a familiar voice.  "I'd of thought you
would've recognized the place by now, you've been here enough times."

    Ryoga looked around and identified the voice's owner.  "Ukyo?  What
are you doing running a French restaurant?"

    "What are you talking about sugar?  This is Ucchans silly!"  Ukyo
shook her head wondering where the lost boy had been planning to go.

    Ryoga looked at the time and groaned.  "Oh no!  I'll never make it
in time to stop Ranma and Akane's date!"

    Ukyo jumped the counter and grabbed him by the collar in a flash.
"Ranma and Akane,  and going on a date?  Where is this happening?"

    Ryoga shrugged "Ma Masion, but I'll never make it now."

    Ukyo looked angry.  "Wanna bet?  Come on, we're going to a French
restaurant tonight!  Konestu, you clean up, we're closing early
tonight!"

    Ukyo led Ryoga to Ma Masions after stopping long enough to put on a
sexy black dress.  She even found a black sport coat for Ryoga that a
customer had left behind several days ago.  It was a little small on him
but not bad.  They hurried to the French restaurant to break up Ranma
and Akane's date.

    <Ranma will pay!>  Ryoga swore silently.

    <Ranma honey is mine!>  Thought Ukyo fiercely.

    They arrived at Ma Masions at eight, hoping they had been in time.
Inside, Kuno was fidgeting.  He had been there for forty minutes and
there had been no sign of his beloved Akane or his enemy Saotome.

    He turned to Nabiki.  "You told me that they would be here!"

    Nabiki shrugged.  "I told you that they had come here last.  I did
not say they would be here tonight."

    Kuno fumed.  "I cannot sit idly by here and wait while Ranma has his
treacherous way with the beauteous Akane!"

    Nabiki had started getting very tired of his constant ranting.  "So
don't wait!"

    He looked over at her and nodded.  "Yes!  I will quest for my
goddess!"  Kuno stood up and headed out the door at the same time as
Ukyo and Ryoga came in.

    Nabiki spotted them and waved them over.  "Order whatever you like,
It's all being charged to the Kuno estate."  Ukyo and Ryoga sat down
heavily.

    Ukyo spoke.  "Um, where are Ranma and Akane?"

    Nabiki smirked.  "Rumor has it they are eating at Ma Maisons."

    Ukyo's eyes narrowed.  "And the truth?"  She winced, imagining the
money she would have to fork over.

    Nabiki shrugged.  "I have no idea."  Dead silence reigned upon this
startling statement and Nabiki waved for the waiter.  "Your best
champagne Garsond!"

    Ryoga and Ukyo looked at each other then at the waiter.  "Menu
please!"  They sat dejected, but determined to at the least enjoy a good
meal at Kuno's expense.

    At Little Rosas, the Italian restaurant Johnathon had picked out,
Ranma, Akane, Kasumi, and Johnathon were enjoying their food.
Everything had been going well.  No water had been spilled on anyone, no
rivals or fiancees had show up promising vengeance.  Ranma had even
managed to keep from insulting Akane.  They were having a good time,
telling stories and laughing about old times.

    As everyone started to finish up their food Johnathon suggested they
go to the new Zorro movie that had just come out.

    Kasumi and Akane were agreeable.  "Sure."  "Sounds good."

    Ranma was unsure.  "What's Zorro?"

    Johnathon grinned.  "I think you'll like it."  Johnathon paid the
bill.  "You can get the next one Ranma."  They headed for the theater
cheerfully not suspecting anything bad would happen.  Normally it would
be impossible for "nothing" bad to happen.  But tonight it just felt
like things couldn't go wrong.

    A small wrinkled figure stalked them, getting angrier by the
moment.  <How dare Ranma and his friends go out on a date, and not
invite me!>  Happosi planned his revenge.  He decided to practice his
new technique, a variation on an old favorite that he had learned back
years ago from a man who called himself the Cisco kid.

    "Swish.  Swish."  A sudden breeze made Akane and Ranma look about
suspiciously.  Akane felt a sudden chill of dread.  Something was about
to happen.

    Ranma cried out in anger.  "Jiji you old letch!  What do you think
you're doing!"

    Happosi was fondling several frilly white pieces of underwear.
"Me?  Oh I'm just enjoying dear Akane and Kasumi's undies."

    In a state of shock Akane quickly slipped a hand to her chest, and
the other quickly checking through her skirt.  <Gone!>  She turned to
Kasumi, noticing that her older sisters breasts also seemed to be
without restraint.

    Akane whirled back to Happosi.  "You pervert!"

    He wasn't there.  Kasumi's shriek barely followed a splash of
water.  Happosi was glommed on to Kasumi's chest, cackling in glee.
Ranma was wet, female, and staring in horror at a feline Johnathon.
Akane grabbed onto the old letch and pulled with enraged strength.

    "Rriipp!"  Happosi looked at the large piece of blue cloth in his
hands, ragged around the edges. He hadn't let go, and that meant...
Happosi shot a glance back at Kasumi who was belatedly covering her
naked chest with her arms.

    Akane had frozen after realizing what she had done.  Ranma had
turned to Kasumi and had also frozen like a deer caught in the
headlights.  Johnathon wasn't frozen, but he had no idea what to do
about the tiny old man Akane was holding.

    Happosi was anything but frozen.  "That was fun!  Let's do it
again!"  He grabbed the front of  Akane's dress and pulled.

    Akane was unfrozen by his hands on her chest and yanked him away.
"Rriipp!"  Now Happosi had a yellow rag to go with his blue one and
Akane punted him across town.  She immediately imitated Kasumi, covering
her chest with her arms.

    As he flew out of sight Happosi could be heard to cry.  "It was
worth it!"

    Akane glowed with anger  "That, that, pervert!"

    Johnathon looked on in horror, and firmly reined in his lust.  He
quickly removed his jacket and draped it over Kasumi's shoulders.  Ranma
unfroze and started to remove her silk shirt to give to Akane.

    Johnathon stopped him.  "You're a girl now, remember?"  He quickly
pulled off his own shirt and handed it to Akane.  He could now hear the
sound of running footsteps rounding the corner half a block away and
realized he was a six foot felinoid.  "Yikes!"  He jumped for a nearby
alley.  "Gotta hide.  Quick Ranma, get some hot water!"

    Ranma looked at Johnathon's very furry appearance and nodded.
"Right!"  She hopped onto the roof and over, looking for the rear
entrance to the restaurant they had just left.  It was a block away but
Ranma moved like lightning, confident that she would return in time.

    Akane saw people coming around the corner down the block, and
hurried into the alley after Johnathon.  "Come on Kasumi!"

    Kasumi followed, tripping as she entered the alley as the remains of
her blue dress fell around her ankles.  She hopped, trying to regain her
balance and slammed into Johnathon, knocking them both to the ground.
Akane turned and saw that her sister was all right, although she was
laying on top of Johnathon in a very embarrassing condition.  Before
Akane could think about that she heard a voice that chilled her bones.

    "Whither my beloved Akane?"  Kuno was around the corner, and by the
sound of his voice, getting closer.  Akane whirled and peered carefully
around the corner.  There he was, heading this way, a half dozen curious
bystanders following him at a distance.

    "Oh no, not now!"  Akane hissed quietly, praying he would go by
without noticing them.

    Kasumi was conscious of laying on something warm and soft, then
realized she was laying on Johnathon's furred chest.  Her bare skin was
pressed along his body from his shoulder to his knees.  Her cheek
against his shoulder felt, right, comfortable, his fur was so soft.  But
she was also conscious of the sensation of her breasts rubbing up
against his chest, her nipples starting to perk up at the sensation.

    Johnathon was very aware of her position as well, we was trying to
ignore the amount of naked female flesh pressed against him
unsuccessfully.  He was looking down at her shoulders, his jacket had
slipped off her as she fell.  He reached across her back and pulled it
back up to her shoulders.  Then slowly helped her sit back.  Johnathon
was careful to keep his hands on the jacket and not on her bare skin,
until she was sitting away from him.

    Kasumi pulled the front of the jacket closed as she sat back,
blushing furiously.  Things quickly got worse.  Kuno started to pass and
suddenly spotted his beloved in the alley.  She was clutching a blue
shirt around herself and, as Akane took a step back away from Kuno, her
dress dropped around her ankles.  Kuno stared at her, and at the
tattered yellow dress around her ankles and came to an obvious
conclusion.

    "Who has done this hideous deed by beloved?"  Kuno's eyes were on
fire with passion and anger.  "It must have been the accursed Ranma!"
Kuno looked about for his rival and spotted Kasumi and Johnathon further
down the alley.  "A, a demon!"  He shouted, taking in the whole scene at
once now.  "This fiend has, has, assaulted my beloved and her elder
sister!  Fear not!  I the mighty Blue Thunder shall smite this creature
and save you from it's wickedness!"

    Akane was trying to interrupt.  "No Kuno, it's not like that!
Don't!"

    Kuno charged screaming.  "Die fiend!"

    Akane was horrified, Kuno's speech had drawn several people in
behind him, who were now staring at the strange scene.  She also
realized belatedly that if she attacked him she would be literally
baring herself to the crowd.  Hurriedly Akane snaked her arms into the
sleeves, while trying to keep the front of the shirt closed.

    Meanwhile Johnathon had rolled backwards to his feet to avoid Kuno's
first attack, which struck the pavement hard enough to crack the
cement.  He leapt back to avoid a second strike, landing on a dumpster.
He leapt again as Kuno's third strike caved in the side of the dumpster,
landing on it's far side.  Johnathon backed away to get some breathing
room.  Kuno charged, beginning his classic multi strike attack with
great ferocity.

    Johnathon was not prepared for the sheer aggressiveness of the
assault and was only able to backpedal away as he tried to avoid it.  He
ran out of room and slammed into the wall of the dead end, even as
Kuno's boken struck Johnathon's side, leg and chin in quick succession.
Johnathon kicked out in desperation and thrust Kuno away, knocking him
back into the dumpster.  Kuno got to his feet, not excessively harmed,
as Johnathon's eyes narrowed to catlike slits.  He hissed in rage and
pain and his claws popped out.

    Kuno charged again, but to Johnathon he seemed much slower, still
very fast, but he could see the individual strikes coming now.  His
adrenaline surge had banished the pain and the world seem to slow down.
He slapped away Kuno's boken as he dodged to one side then the other,
his claws tearing groves into the back and sides of the weapon.  On the
sixth strike Johnathon caught the blade with both hands, claws biting
into the wood.  His right leg snapped out as he held Kuno's boken
immobile.  Once, twice, three times, four times, it was over in a
fraction of a second.  Kuno flew back into the dumpster again, stunned,
sans boken.  Johnathon snapped the weakened weapon over his knee as Kuno
staggered to his feet.

    "I fight on!"  Shouted the dizzy and deranged Kendoist.

    Johnathon dropped the pieces of Kuno's boken, jumped forward and
closed his hands into fist, sheathing his claws.  He lashed out half a
dozen times with his fists, and Kuno dropped senseless.

    Akane had gotten the shirt buttoned and had come back to the
dumpster.  The small crowd was ready to panic now and Johnathon backed
up again, looking for a way out.  he crouched and leapt, catching an
overhang and flipping up to the roof of the second story building to the
left of the alley in one smooth movement.  He spotted Ranma, male now
and coming back from the restaurant with a kettle.  They both stopped
and Ranma poured hot water on Johnathon.  He changed back to human and
turned back again.

    He started in the direction of the alley.  "Come on, we've got to
get back to the girls!"

    Kasumi had gotten to her fee and was trying to calm down the crowd
with little success.  She had managed to slip her arms into the sleeves
and button up the front of Johnathon's sport coat, she had gathered up
the remains of Akane's dresses and was holing them in a bundle with
Johnathon's shoes, which he had left behind after changing.

    "Now calm down everyone, everything is fine..."  Kasumi said in her
calmest voice.

    She was getting skeptical glances.  "Hmm, obviously traumatized."
"Yes, poor girl is out of her head."  "What was that thing?"  "Is it
coming back?"

    Johnathon paused at the top of the dead end alley and hid.  He took
careful stock of himself.  Shirtless, shoeless, bloody jaw, ripped
pants.  "Um Ranma, I'd better not go down there like this.  You'd better
go.  Get Kasumi out, tell everyone you're taking her to a hospital, but
get her away quick.  Get Akane to follow you.  I'll meet you on the
other side of the block and we'll get going from there ok?"

    Ranma nodded once.  "Right."  He leapt down to Akane who was
checking on Kuno.

    "He'll be fine."  She said quietly to herself as he landed.
"Ranma!  Where is...?"

    "Follow my lead Akane!"  Ranma said, looking at her with a serious
expression.  She hesitated then nodded.  Ranma quickly ran up to
Kasumi.  "We'd better get you to a hospital!"  He said loudly.
Johnathon grimaced at the horrid acting, then started heading off
himself.  Ranma scooped up Kasumi and jumped over the crowd, quickly
getting out of sight.

    Akane followed shaking her head.  <What an idiot.>  She tried to not
let anyone get a good look at her face as she fled the scene.  They
reached Johnathon quickly and Ranma set Kasumi down.

    Johnathon looked around and pointed.  "My place is just a few blocks
that way, come on!"

    They hurried, trying to keep from being noticed.  They got several
strange looks but managed to get to Johnathon's apartment without being
stopped.  They hurried inside and closed the door quickly behind them.
Johnathon had been limping slightly and Kasumi went to check his
injuries.  He had a cut along the bottom of his jaw, his ribs were
blossoming a purple bruise and so was his thigh where it showed though
the tear in his pants.  Nothing looked permanently damaging however.

    Johnathon grimaced through her examination then pointed at his
closet.  "You can find some clothing in there to borrow.  I'm going to
wash this cut."  He went into the bathroom, Ranma followed to give the
girls some privacy.  Johnathon ran the sink till the water was hot, then
carefully cleaned his face.  Ranma sat silently.

 "What in the world was that?"  Johnathon asked quietly.  "That looked
like a tiny old man, but..."

    Ranma added helpfully, "but acted like a freak of nature?  That was
Happosai, a dirty old man, and an incredibly skilled martial arts
master."  Johnathon looked incredulous.  "Hey I'm not making this up!"

    "Ok I believe you, its just... Oh I don't know,  I guess compared to
magical cursed springs it's not that hard to believe."

    Kasumi's voice called out from the main room. "Johnathon-san?  Where
do you keep your scissors?"

    <Scissors?>  Johnathon wondered,  "Um, in the top drawer of the
desk."

    "Thank you!  Stay in there for a bit please!"

    Johnathon and Ranma looked confusedly at each other.  Johnathon
shrugged.  "Ok Ranma, tell me more about this 'Master Happosai'."

    Several minutes passed while Ranma tried to describe the old letch,
then several more before Kasumi called them out.   Johnathon and Ranma
looked, and Johnathon clapped softy.  "Very nice, very nice."  Akane was
still wearing Johnathon's blue shirt, but she had put a belt around the
waist and was wearing a blue skirt under it which came down to her
knees.  Kasumi had found his smallest turtleneck.  It had shrunk a bit
in the wash and was too small for him, but he hadn't thrown it out yet.
She wore it over a short yellow skirt with another of his belts, it was
a bit long in the sleeve, but not too much so.

    Akane grinned at their expressions and explained to Ranma.  "Kasumi
made us skirts, we, we didn't want to just go home, we haven't finished
our date!"

    Kasumi smiled as well at her little sister's determination.  "If
your feeling up to it Johnathon-san?"

    Johnathon hesitated only a few moments.  "Yeah, why not?"  He went
over to his closet, got out a fresh shirt and pants, and went into the
bathroom to change.  A couple of minutes later he came out and they all
headed for the door.  He checked his watch.  "The next showing is in
half an hour,  we can still make the movie."  They headed for the
theater, not talking much but cheerfully determined to have a good time.

    Ranma mostly to busy not thinking about Akane and Kasumi's naked
chests to saw anything stupid.  He said once, "When I see that old freak
again..."

    Akane had been unsuccessfully trying to ignore the fact she wasn't
wearing any underwear.  "You can hold him down for me."  She replied to
Ranma's quiet statement.

    Kasumi remained silent, deciding for once she wouldn't ask them not
to kill the old man.  <They'll probably just mangle him a bit...>
Instead her mind wandered back to the sensation of her bare skin against
Johnathon's fur.  He had been so soft and warm,  she hadn't really felt
like moving away.  <Am I really that attracted to him when he's
half-cat?>  She thought about it for a while.  <He does have a nice body
when he's human, but when he's half-cat he's even more...>  Kasumi
suddenly realized what she was thinking about and tried to concentrate
on something else, like laundry, cooking, sewing, anything.

    Johnathon was thinking about Kasumi's naked body press up against
his.  He then forced himself to consider what had happened afterwards,
the fight with Kuno, the crowd seeing his cursed form,  <This does not
bold well.>  His thought were depressing him so he focused again on
Kasumi,  that cheered him up again quickly.  "At least nothing else
could possibly go wrong!"  He announced cheerily.

    "Don't say that!"  Ranma and Akane both shushed him.

    Kasumi glanced around but saw no potential catastrophes headed their
way.  "Oh don't be silly, that's just a silly superstition, nothing else
will happen."

    Ranma and Akane looked at her and sighed.  "Right, what else could
possibly happen?"  Akane grinned and then started to laugh.  It was
infectious, they all joined in, only quieting down as they reached the
theater.  Ranma stepped forward.

    "I'll get it."  He said gallantly, and paid for four tickets.  They
went inside, starting to actually get into a cheerful mood again.  Two
hours later they were laughing and talking about the movie as they
walked back towards the Tendo Dojo.  As they turned the last corner they
saw two people standing in front of the gate waiting.  As they got
closer they saw it was Ukyo and Ryoga.
