I figured out a way for Akane to find out about Ryouga's curse without him
getting killed.

It would go something like this:

The actual details of WHY Ranma does this can be up to you.  Basically,
Ranma comes up with a way for Ryouga to tell Akane about his curse without
getting in trouble.  Basically, it goes like this...  Ryouga claims that
P-Chan was his pet pig (notice the emphasis on WAS) that he could hardly
ever find, even though they are very close (that is why he is so ticked
when Ranma calls him P-Chan).  Anyway, they met up when Ryouga was
travelling and they happened upon Jusenkyou.  P-Chan drowned somehow in one
of the springs and Ryouga went to save him.  Poof.  Instant curse.

Well, it's just an idea.  Any creative takers our there?
