I don't think I explained things very well.  The idea is that Ryouga claims
that P-Chan was his pet (that's also why it hated Ranma and why it had such
a terrible sense of direction).  During his last trip, they met each other
in Jusenkyou.  P-Chan drowned in a new spring that was not yet cursed.
That cursed the spring.  Ryouga saw him and dove in, hoping he wasn't too
late.  Poof.  Instant cursed Ryouga.  Now, Ryouga returns and is really
depressed.  The next time that Akane mentions P-Chan ("I wonder when P-Chan
is coming back?") Ryouga says that he can't come back; he's dead.  Then, he
tells her about how P-Chan drowned and how Ryouga is now cursed.  That
story covers his curse quite nicely from now on.  So now, Akane knows that
any time she sees a P-Chan wandering around, she will know that this one is
Ryouga.

So, I ask again... anyone wanna take a shot at this?

You do realize that you've basically told the story already.

To take the time to wrap it in fancy prose would be wasted since 
everyone already knows how it's going to turn out. 

Now, if someone where to use this as an element of a bigger story, 
then I can see the point.

See ya
