somehow my computer decided to revolt and I have to cut
this file into two parts. Please download Part 3.1 and Part 3.2
at the same time (unless you don t want to find out about
what happened in this story that is)

Foreword:
There was an egregious error (for those who has or are
interested in reading part 1 and 2) in part one of the 18 or
more-episodes-to-be. At the end of the part one Akane was
kidnapped by Nu, the dragon-god of the Jakou-Maneki (the
tribe of Herb and his/her minions Lime & Mint). Nu was
injured by Ranma with a upper-ascension flying-dragon defeat,
and said that he would give the boy a chance to improve his
skills by coming back on the night of the next full moon to
finish his kill. However at that point I intended to mean the
half-moon instead of the full moon (there s a 13-day
difference!) and I apologize for the inconsistency. Also, sorry
about that wrong header (I put part one s header as part two s)

Hi-Ryu-Hei-Sen-Ha

I-----------
Kuonji Ukyou was resting inside a cave somewhere and was
thinking about the past few days.

She was working in her shop as usual when Nabiki came over
to inform her that Akane was going out with Ranma. Ukyou
couldn t take it anymore. This was the third time this month
that they had been together - no doubt some forced date by
their parents - but still she was sick and tired of hearing
Ranchan going out with that pumpkin head.

She then checked her safe and found out she had enough
money to win back Ranma s heart. She took her savings for
the last couple of months without hesitating and called JAL to
reserve a ticket to China. She would get the Jusenkyou water
for her Ranchan once and for all, she thought as she started her
week-long journey in China.

There was one tiny problem, however. She forgot she couldn t
speak Chinese, and quickly lost herself in some obscure
mountains.

All seemed distant to Ukyou now, for she was lost in the
mountains. She had hoped to cure Ranma herself by going to
the cursed springs and now it couldn t be done because she got
lost after her map was snatched and blown away by the wind in
a careless accident.

Ukyou sighed but she heard something before she drifted back
to sleep.

II---------
Shampoo was equally lost in the mountains. She cursed her
lack of luck and then sat down on the side of the road and
mused overwhat brought her here.

Shampoo had thought that she was the luckiest girl as she
summoned the Djinn.

Master what is your will? You have one wish and one wish
only. asked the mighty form kneeling in front of her. The all
powerful Feline spirit was at her command.

I want you to take me to China. Shampoo told the Giant Cat
Djinn.

Yes my omnipotent master. the Djinn had answered in its
bass voice and took the shape of a cloud. Before Shampoo
could realize what she was doing she saw herself riding on the
marshmellow thing and was flying out of Nerima.

Shampoo had been so glad that she found this Ring-Genie from
her great-grandmother s goodie-piles. She had thought of her
most recent attempt to go to China and it gave her the
goosebumps. Nope. Hypnotizing Mousse with a mushroom
and single-mindedly believe that it would be safe for a
dripping-wet duck and a dripping-wet cat (tied together by a
rope of course) could safely cross the channels and the seas
and the vast lands and finally reach China was pretty stupid of
her, she thought. As well as Shampoo could remember she
was complaining /meowing about Mousse s piloting skill and
his half-blind vision when a streak of lightning almost fried
them alive together in that summerstorm couple months ago.

The gale wind had been making a mess out of Shampoo s fine
velvet hair but she couldn t care less. She had wanted to pay a
visit to her beloved sisters for so long. Yes! Shaving Cream,
Toothpaste, Sun-tan Lotion, and all the others... she d give
them the hugest hug and tell them how Ranma her fiance was
doing intimate stuff to her night after night (apparently proved
otherwise in reality).

Oh and by the way it s about time that Shampoo would get
some more mushrooms because Ranma had already developed
antibodies against the last types that she gave him. Shouldn t
give him too much next time or else he d be immune soon
again and I ll have to waste them, Shampoo had reminded
herself. But then again, new mind-controlling mushrooms...
new dates with Ranma.

Shampoo was taking a deep breath as she sensed Djinn s
descent and felt the familiar scent coursing through her lungs.
Home, sweet home.

Shampoo had smiled, but then the smile had vanished when she
found out that she was disposed in some mountains in China.
The Djinn was nowhere to be seen.

OH NO SHAMPOO FORGOT TO TELL HIM TO DROP
ME AT... Too late.

Shampoo was about take out her anger on some nearby rocks,
but then she heard some noise a bit down the way. She ran in
hope that it might be some camper or traveller who could help
her find her way.

III----------
Ryoga Hibiki, or rather P-chan, was squealing and running for
dear life as he carried something on his back wrapped around
his body with a bandanna.

Charlotte! Darling Charlotte! The crystal voice rang and
sent a chill down its spine. He cursed/oinked in silence as he
recalled what happened. Several scenes flashbacked inside his
tiny cute head.

A couple days ago Ryoga was wandering around with an
upside-down map of Tokyo in his hands as he strolled down a
narrow alley in Kyoto. He asked for Furinkan high school but
nobody knew what he was talking about. Then he played
smart and asked for Nerima, Tokyo and got an answer (from
an equally matched directional idiot) that he should go south.
Then he sprinted (and swam) all the way up to Hokkaido
following the instruction of the kind person who told him that
Tokyo was south of Kyoto, and there he untimely met the old
golden-pair - training on ice, swearing to defeat the Rainbow-
pair in Canton before revenging themselves on Ranma and
Akane the Furinkan Highschool Skating Champion.

Then he slipped and crashed into the ice, and the next thing he
knew, he was Charlotte again.

Dear Charlotte! Oh Dear Charlotte! I know you missed me
so much that you came to see me! But that was pretty careless
of you. If I hadn t found you, you d be drowned! Oh
Charlotte! She planted a kiss on its snout and crushed its body
against her firm breasts. A stream of blood flowed profusely
out of one side of its snout as it felt creamy soft things rubbing
against its butt.

Darling Charlotte, I d like you to meet Darling Mirelle,
Darling Yvette, and Darling Emilie... Azusa said with her
soothing voice as she shoved P-chan inside the cage. Now
Mirelle, she said in a chastising manner, I don t want you to
eat Darling Charlotte like you did to Darling Cindy, Darling
Christina, and Darling Katie, O.K.?

And the nightmare began between the poor little pig and a
menancing pet panther, a hungry pet lizard, and a not-so-
friendly-too pet tarantula...

The flashback was interrupted as he heard the voice again.
Charlotte! Dammit! Don t run away!

P-chan ran, after all the horror he had endured he could take
no more. He had reached its destination - Canton, China, and
it WILL escape now. Azusa! We have a match against the
Rainbow-pair tomorrow! I told you not to bring the pig on the
plane or you could lose it! Another familiar voice cried. But
what about Charlotte? Charlotte! CHARLOTTE!!! Azusa
screamed in vain. P-chan ran into the men s room at the
second floor of the airport, and was seen no more.

IV-----------
There is no candy stores in the mountains! How many times
do I have to say that, you sucrose-addicted child! Ranma
yelled. And added under his breath, Or was it lactose?

I m not a child! I m not a child! I m not a child! Hinako
knocked repeatedly on Ranma s head. That last punch almost
gave him a concussion. Now go get me some candy!

Ranma was half conscious. He couldn t believe it. It s been an
hour since they got here and all Hinako-sensei would do was
wailing over her candy. The more he thought about what
would be in store for him in the future, the more his head
ached.

I am really huuuuuuuungry!!! Ranma! Ranma was not
responding. Ranma? Ranma!!! Hinako yelled. Fine then.
If you don t want to go, then I ll go myself.

Ranma s eyes bulged as he saw Hinako searched her pockets
and managed to take out a 10,000Y dollar bill with a hole in
the middle. Sorry Ranma, you give me nooooo alternative.

Nuh...NO!!! PLEASE!!!!!! I LL DO WHATEVER YOU
WANT!!! Ranma screamed in fear as he tried to back away
in fear.

Happo-ibanyen-satsu!!!

Needless to say, Ranma was drained away and he lay
motionlessly. A breeze swept him five feet down the road like
some discarded poster and he stopped as his back slammed
into the side of the cliff.

Hinako was humming a kindergarten song as she left.

Almost an hour later he could hear some thing moved. In fact,
he could swear it came from the cave just above his head.

V-----------
Ukyou wondered what that noise was all about. She crawled
to the entrance of the cave, and extended her upper body out
carefully, looking downward while maintaining her balance.

That s when she found out her face was awfully close to
another face.

VI----------
In his wildest dreams Ranma wouldn t think he d meet Utchan
here. He was staring into her eyes and their faces were an inch
away from one another.

He saw Ukyou blushed *kawaii indeed* and fell right out of
the cave as she lost her balance.

VII----------
Her heart was racing rapidly. Her secret plan was ruined but
oh-well-what-the-heck, since she and Ranma were the only
ones in this mountain she would surely have his love and
loyalty before they figure a way to get outta here.

U...Utchan!
Ranma!
How come you are here?
Well... it s going to take a while to explain...

Ranma helped Ukyou get up and they sat next to each other.
Ranma was very distracted by the natural fragrance of Ukyou s
hair, and Ukyou also couldn t help stealing a couple glances at
Ranma s taut, mascular form.

RANMA!!! A voice cut through the air, clear as crystal but
with a heavy accent.

NO...NOT AGAIN... was all he could say before all hell
went loose.

Oh Shampoo so GLAD to see Ranma!
No... no fucking way.
Shampoo so scared in mountain by herself! She threw
herself to Ranma but was quickly flattened with a spatula.

Ukyou... why are YOU here? Shampoo asked suspiciously,
having noticed Ukyou just now.
Oh YEAH? That s what I want to ask YOU!
Shampoo want to fight Ukyou here to see who gets Ranma
Agreed.

Hey you guys cut it out... Ranma was about to finish when
all three turned their heads back.

Kyaaaaaaaa!!! Ranma help! HELP!!!

Hinako sensei? All three asked as they saw the little-Hinako
sprinting as fast as she could. Behind her seemed to be a little
souvenir for the party - a bear.

Hinako-sensei what happened to happo-ibanyen-return?
Ranma asked feverishly.
I used it to scare a cockroach away.
What about another goyen-satsu?
I lost my purse.

Ranma cursed and sighed but then saw Hinako running close
within reaching distance now and grabbed her arms as the four
instinctively scurried up into the cave.

VIII-------
It s been a couple of days and Ryoga seemed to have no luck.
He thought that it d be relatively easy (Hell, he thought
anything was relatively easy) to find Jusenkyou but then he got
lost again after he had already spent a day and a half trying to
figure out the way to the exit of the airport. No, he could not
permit himself to be lost again. After all the horror he endured
he had accomplished the hardest part (or so he thought) and he
WOULD find the cursed springs.

Now Ryoga seemed to be trapped in some woods and he was
indeed starving. He didn t have much to eat but his stamina
decreased little as he thought of himself living with Akane as a
whole man, not P-chan, not anything else... just Ryoga. But
then again Ryoga heard something moved, thought it a good
time for a meal anyway, and discarded all other thoughts
behind.

Ryoga was hungry but he was patient. He waited as he spotted
the prey. Taking out his umbrella he sneaked behind it and was
about to strike when it sprinted away following a girl s shriek.
Ryoga was about to use the shishihokodan but he figured the
effect would be too small since the prey was running away
from it at high-speed. He was chasing it until it went into a
dead-end. Then it turned around but Ryoga could see that
whoever it was chasing had luckily escaped somehow.

NOW YOU FACE ME, BEAST!

The bear lunged. Ryoga closed in for kill.

SHISHIHOKO... Suddenly the roaring lion s voice died
down only to be continued with a loud squeak. ...DAN... it
seemed to say as it closed its forelegs together.

Out of nowhere, a storm had gathered and hovered above the
top of the mountain and poured right before Ryoga could finish
his kikondan.

Ryoga had less than one second to think before he squeezed
under and between the bear s legs and dashed for the cave.

IX------------
Strange...I thought I heard someone using the lion bullet...and
it sounded like Ryoga! Ranma said as he looked about.

It IS Ryoga. Ukyou said as she tossed Ryoga into Ranma s
lap.

Ryo... Shampoo was shocked as she saw P-chan in Ranma s
lap.

Ryoga? What the- ?

Doesn t matter as long as Shampoo not the one get soaked.
Shampoo soon recovered and grinned.

Ryoga... is that the name of this cute little pig? Hinako
asked. Come here! You look so lovely! Despite its fierce
resistance Hinako picked up the pig and crushed it against her
chest (why does every girl try to do that?).

P-chan squirmed against the little girl s breast (of course, it
thought, usually it got pressed into something bigger and nicer)
Don t move, Ryoga... Come on, don t move... O.K., I know
just the thing to do to make you stop. Hinako smiled and
kissed P-chan on the head.

P-chan jumped and shocked Hinako as it bounced back and
forth against the walls crazily..

Hinako took a couple of steps back to balanced herself.
Hinako felt her back pressed against the side of the wall.
Hinako felt something gave under her pressure.
Hinako felt something being pushed into the wall behind her.
Hinako turned and saw the wall behind her glowed.
Hinako had one last chance to look at the shallow, dark cave.
Hinako s feet trembled as the ground beneath her crumbled.
Hinako managed one last sound. GYAAAAAAAAAA!!!

GEEEEZ HINNNAKO-SENNNSEIII JJUST WHHAT THE
HEEELL DIDDD YYOU DOOOOOOOOOO...... Ranma
asked but his sentence was cut short again as everyone looked
down and, before they could get out of the cave, fell into the
abyss.

X-----------
Darkness.
Ranma was the first to come to and he checked to make sure
everyone was all right.

uugh... my head hurts... Ukyou mumbled.
Ranma please help Shampoo up... Shampoo s very hurt...
Shampoo s broken her legs and ribs and wrists and got a
concussion and internal bleeding...
Ranma help me up your teacher is more important than your
fiancees...

Why d I even ask, Ranma thought and sighed.
