Ok.  I know this is choppy so dont flame me about it.  I would, however,
like to hear ways to improve or clear up parts.  It would be
appreciated.

What has happened before�
Ranma and Akane had another fight (like this surprises us?) and Ranma,
being the non-thinking doofus
that he is, makes a stupid wish. The effects of this wish are less than
pleasant as he ends up being
transported back in time�and ends up as Shampoos husband. Ranma
discovers that his father
abandoned him in the village after a fight and that he is a lousy
fighter. Ranma escapes, but pisses
Cologne off in the process and then finds out that the Nannichuan WON'T
cure him of his curse. After a
disturbing boat trip back to Japan, he finds his way back to the Tendo
Dojo and introduces him self in
a�less than appropriate manner.
So�without further delay�here is�

A Wrongful Wish
Part 2

People knew to stay out of Colognes was when she was mad, and she was in
a very bad mood. After
having her son-in-law escape, she was called into a very bad elder
meeting. The meeting consisting of
her being chastised for letting Ranma escape, her supposedly teaching
Ranma how to fight, and her
being generally yelled at. She tried over and over to deny those
accusations, but she had no room to
speak.
Some one who wasn�t watching where they were going bumped in to her and
got a one way trip to the
hospital. She clamed down after mauling the innocent bystander. Taking
your rage out on something felt
good. But her mood darkened as she remembered her conversation with
Shampoo�
"Great-granddaughter, wake up�wake up dammit." Cologne shouted at
Shampoo. She pressed a few
pressure points to help wake her up.
Shampoo sat up suddenly and very groggy. "Wha�Great-grandmother? What
happened?" she asked
very confused.
Colognes glare softened but not much. "You let that weak Japanese male
beat you. And he knows no
martial arts." She shouted. Her fury was building.
Shampoos eyes took on a dreamy look. She had always wanted her Airen to
defeat her, but he had
been weak�too weak. But he had defeated her, and soundly. She sighed,
"Wo da airen�" finally she
was happy. A real man.
Colognes face took on a look of confusion. "You loved him?" Shampoo
nodded. "But last night you
hated him." Then she had an insight. "You let him beat you�" she said
darkly.
Shampoos mind stopped thinking of Ranmas body and focused on her
great-grandmothers anger. "NO!
I would not ever let a man beat me�on purpose." She paused, "He was cute
though."
Cologne needed to know what he used on Shampoo to knock her
un-conscious. "Shampoo," she used
her name, meaning that Cologne was serious, "What exactly did he do to
you?" she asked.
Shampoo took on her far away look again. "He was so strong�and fast. I
couldn't hit him as fast as I
was attacking. And then he used an Omo�ami�amagurikan."
Cologne was deeply disturbed with this news. The outsider knew an amazon
secret. How though? And
what else did he know? She was prepared to ask Shampoo another question
when a gate guard came
in, slightly charred. "What happened?" she demanded.
She amazon guard fell to her knees. "Th-the outsider shot a bl-blast of
energy at us." She said before
passing out.
Now cologne was afraid. This boy went from lousy to a master in one
night. She needed to find out
more. "Shampoo. Pack up. We are leaving for Japan tonight."
Shampoo just sighed.

When Ranmas father finally came back he got his explanation. It went
something like this�
"Well�" Genma began. "After I found out that you weren't a competent
martial artist�" Ranma
developed an aura and Genma backed away. "�uh�I decided to take you to
china. A place called
Jusenkyo."
"But you don�t speak a word of Chinese�" Ranma interrupted.
"Yes but�never mind." Genma cleared his throat. "Well we fought and I
defeated you�after you got
lucky and I fllnthsprgfdrdpnd."
"Yes pop? I couldn�t make out that last part." Ranma said sarcastically.

"I fell in a spring." Genma shouted to an unflinching Ranma. He backed
away when his tactic didn�t
work. "As I was saying�you let you guard down and I threw you in a
spring. Drown�"
"I know about my curse." Ranma interrupted yet again. He was getting
impatient. He wanted to know
how he got married to Shampoo. There was a long pause before Nabiki
spoke up.
"Please continue. This is interesting."
"Well being the spineless boy that you are�er�were, you began crying
like the girl that you turn into."
Ranmas face twisted into a scowl but Genma continued, unaware. "After
you stopped crying I chased
you and you knocked a hapless boy into a spring." <Arrggh! > Ranma
thought. <Ryoga! It was my
fault�> "Then we went to the nearest village where you were defeated by
that girl."
Ranma looked at his hands in deep thought. <If I was defeated, why did I
marry her? > "Pop?" Ranma
asked, no menace in his tone. "Why did I get married?"
Genma looked extremely confused. "I don�t know that boy!" Genma shouted.
"Anyway down to
business. Soun?"
Soun stood up and shook the sleep from his eyes. "Of course Saotome.
Ranma, these are my three
daughters. Nabiki, Kasumi, and Akane." Each one stood at their name and
bowed, completely unaware
of what was about to happen.
Ranma did though, and he was going to start off right this time. "Please
pick one for your fiancee."
Nabiki and Akane screamed their protests but Kasumi just smiled. <Maybe
in a few years�>
"Akane�" Suddenly the room was silent. "I choose Akane."
Nabiki looked relieved, Kasumi looked disappointed, Soun was crying his
eyes out, and Genma was
hugging Soun. Akane however was steamed. "What!?" she screamed. "I don�t
want a fiancee! I don�t
even have a boy friend."
Ranma opened his mouth to protest, but Akane continued screaming.
"Having a fiancee will ruin my
life."
"Don�t be silly Akane." Kasumi cooed. "He'll be perfect for you."
"No he wont. I don�t want a fiancee�especially not a freak like him."
Ranma felt the knife twist in his heart. Was that the way she really
felt? As he watched her argue with
their parents about the wedding, he felt an emotion not familiar to him.
Disgust. As he looked back at all
his memories he could see that Akane had always taken this approach.
Something goes wrong�blame
Ranma. Now he could see that she really did start from the beginning.
Finally he could take no more.
"God dammit!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. The room was quiet. "I
came here hoping that this
engagement would work. And I find that you Akane�the girl I thought was
cute, is a selfish bitch!" the
silence continued. Before Genma spoke up.
"Nonsense son. Don�t�" a foot interrupted him in his face.
"Shut up!" Ranma growled. "I actually wanted this engagement. But I
don�t any more." He shot an Icy
glare toward Akane, who flinched. "I'm leaving. Good bye." He hefted his
pack and walked out the
door.
Everyone stood there in shock. Genma and Akane mostly. Akane shook her
self out of it first. <He
thought I was cute? > She thought. She shook her head one more time
before running out the door after
Ranma.
Genma was in shock because he expected his son to appall the engagement,
not want it. He plopped
down at the table and groaned. "Why Tendo?"
Soun came up to him and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Don�t worry
Saotome. Now, how bout a game
of shogi?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------
Life sucked for Ryoga. Having a terrible sense of direction was one
thing but turning into a girl was
another. Frankly, that sucked more than life, as far as he was
concerned. And it was Ranmas fault that
he was cursed as well.
Ryoga stopped and set his backpack down. "Why me�" he muttered. Now he
was lost. One minute
he was on the road to Nerima, the next he was in the middle of the
forest. "That damn officer lied to me.
This isn't Nerima."
He sat down next to his pack and extracted a bedroll. It was almost dark
and he had nowhere else to
go. After setting up a campfire, he began to cook his meal and think
about the past few weeks.
When Ranma failed to show up for their duel, he had gone looking for the
coward. It was hard enough
to follow the two with his lousy sense of direction but with Ranmas
idiotic father sneaking around, it got
even harder. Finally the two stopped in china and he could avenge the
bread thefts. But no�they have
to sneak off again, and this time move inland. Ryoga wasn�t surprised
though. Ranma was a selfish
bastard.
When he finally caught up with them, they were fighting over a series of
pools. <Great! > He thought.
<While they're distracted. >
He crouched and got ready to spring, then noticed a large panda and a
red hared girl flying toward him.
Well�the girl was being chased, the panda was chasing. She looked
familiar though, just like Ranma.
But she knocked Ryoga over and right into the pool that the girl fell
into.
"This curse is all Ranmas fault too." Ryoga growled. He smelled
something burining and noticed that his
food was on fire. "Crap!" he shouted.
Numerous burns and scrapes later, the fire was out but the food was
ruined. "Oh well�" Ryoga sighed.
He slipped in to his sleeping bag and dosed off, not noticing the NO
TRESSPASSING sign right next
to him.

 Cologne tapped her foot patiently while waiting for Shampoo. Their trip
was terrible. The sailors were
desperate for women and even though they were bandaged up (from a very
feisty red head quoth the
captain) they still were stupid enough to try for Shampoo. Even though
she was sea sick, she still
dispached of them easily. After the lot of them were put out of
commission, she sat Shampoo down and
asked her a few questions. Like, for example, what did you see in that
boy, and, are you sure you don�t
know what else he used on you? One thing she didn�t understand was why
she let Shampoo marry him
instead of kill him. That went against numerous Amazon codes, and
Cologne was lucky to get them over
ruled. She also didn�t understand why Shampoo wanted to marry him.
Surely she saw that he was
weak. "Finally." She said.
Shampoo staggered out of the bathroom, looking a little pale. Sea travel
was no good for her because
she always got sick. But only on the long voyages. "I ready to go
Great-grandmother." She croaked.
Cologne shook her head. Such behavior from an amazon. Tisk tisk. She
slowly helped Shampoo to her
feet and began to walk. After all she did love Shampoo. "Tell me
Shampoo�why did you want to
marry that boy. You know the laws."
Shampoo nodded and fought the wave of nausea that came with it. "He was
cute and�"
Cologne cut her off. "Looking cute is one thing but what have I told you
about choosing you husband?"
she asked like the watchful parent.
"Cute may be good but strong is better�" Shampoo recited, mumbling at
the end. "But he did look
strong." She persisted. "And he beat me before he escape."
Cologne nodded. Perhaps she was not all that hasty in choosing a husband
for Shampoo. This male
certainly lived up to his original expectations. He would make a good
husband�after he was punished
for escaping. "Well great-granddaughter, when we find him he is yours.
He did beat you that second
time."
Shampoo jumped up and down and clapped her hands. She was so happy at
this news that she didn�t
care about the noxious feeling that came with it. He body did though.
She turned and ran back to the
bathroom.

Cologne shook her head again. "Shampoo shampoo shampoo�"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------
Ranma now knew how Ryoga felt. Depressed. And all the time. Akanes words
had effectively killed
him. She had called him a freak and said that she wouldn�t marry him.
And that is truly the way she felt.
He didn�t fight back the tears. After jusenkyo he knew that a cry could
cleanse the soul and that it
wasn�t girlish. He remembered his dad cry on occasions and Soun cried
all the time. He tried thinking
about good things but he could only think about Akane. Her scowl, her
mallet, her constant yelling, her
smile. He smiled at that thought. She really was cute, and he missed her
already.
"Ranma�"
He missed her so much that he could almost hear her call out his name.
"Ranma�"
He smiled wistfully and wiped the tears from his face. He really did
love her. "Akane I�Love you�"
he said.
"I like you too but I wouldn�t go that far." A voice said from behind
him.
Ranma spun around in surprise and backed away a few feet, not hearing
her remark. Finally he
recovered before that anger set in. "What do you want?" he growled. "And
make it fast, I'm in a hurry."
His voice didn�t match his eyes.

"What I said back there�I�didn�t mean�" Akane stopped short, and looked
at the floor. "I mean
you are�That is�"
"I'm not a freak?" Akane nodded. "You meant to call me a pervert and a
hentai and other things." He
stated. He turned and began to walk away.
Akane looked hurt. "I didn�t mean that." She pleaded. Ranma stopped and
turned around.
"Then what did you mean?"
"Ithinkyourecutetoo." Akane blurted out. She looked at the floor and
blushed fiercely. "And I didn�t
mean what I said�"
Ranmas eyes widened. She just said that he was cute. <Yes! > His heart
soared. "Really?" Akane
nodded. "Yes!" Ranma shouted and began to dance around. He looked at her
again and admired her
face, her eyes, her long black hair�<Long black hair? >Ranma thought. He
kicked himself in the butt.
His wish replayed it self in his head�I wish I'd never come here�
"Shit�" he cursed.
Akane looked at him worriedly. "What?" she asked.
"I gotta go!" he shouted and turned to run. Akane grabbed his arm.
"What." She demanded. Ranma looked into her eyes. "I have to explain
later. If I'm right, I'm in deep
trouble." He broke out of her grip and ran off.
"I hope this isnt a constant in our relation ship." Akane deadpanned.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------
<Finally. > Cologne thought. <We made it.>
After trying over and over to get on a train, the two amazons decided to
walk. Unfortunatly it was a
long walk and Shampoo still hadnt gotten over her sea sickness. She was
now but she was still having
trouble keeping her balance. "Shampoo, please sit down." Cologne said.
After Shampoo complied she
headed over to a nearby motel to get a room for the night.
"What?" the manager asked in a gruff tone.
"My grand-daughter and I would like a room for the night." Cologne
answered.
He looked down and checked his watch. 12:01 a.m. He wasn�t about to ask
questions though. "Cash
up front." He demanded.
The withered old prune (smack! Owwww�) Excuse me�The charming old lady
(That�s better�)
pulled a wad of yen out of her bag and handed it to the manager. "You
can keep the extra."
After he finished counting the roll his eyes bugged out. "Yes ma'am!
I'll make sure you and your
granddaughter get all the luxurys."
Cologne took the key and muttered something unrecognisable as she left
to gather Shampoo. She had
fallen asleep and needed to be carried to the room. It was no problem,
seeing as Cologne was strong
for her size. She layed Shampoo on the bed and snuck out again. "I need
to find where the boy is
staying. Other wise my plan wont work."
Just out side the room she heard someone muttering. "Hello? Whats this?"

Ryoga-chan was wandering down the street cursing to herself. "Damn you
Ranma. This is all your fault."
She didn�t hear Cologne sneak up behind her.
"Excuse me miss?" cologne asked. Ryoga spun around and punched the spot
where Cologne had been,
cracking the concrete. "I'm a guy!"
Cologne was impressed but unphased. "I couldn�t help but hear you curse
Ranma." She asked a
stunned Ryoga.
Ryoga nodded. She was suspisious. "Yeah. What of it?"
"You are strong�and I can help you get your revenge on him." Ryogas eyes
lit up.
"You can?" She asked. Cologne grunted an affirmative. "Then count me
in."
Cologne smiled devilishly. Her plan just got easier.
