Hi all,  I was just reposting this part of my little piece of work Time 
of Changes.  Part six is going a bit slow and I'll post what I've done of that 
as well right afterward.  Anyways here's part 5

What has happened so far: Ryouga and Ranma got into a fight, and 
Ranma was put in the hospital in order to keep Fox Xanatos and her 
son Alexander from being hit by some of Ryouga's attacks.  When 
Akane heard about this she decided that she had to put an end to the 
feud between Ranma and Ryouga.  In the hospital Akane demands that 
Ranma tell her the reasons behind his and Ryouga's rivalry.  Ranma 
evades answering by telling her that Ryouga has two reasons for fighting 
him, and gives a quick explanation for why he can't tell her either.  
Ryouga had overheard her decision to end his and Ranma's feud, and 
left after leaving her a letter.  He wound up at Ucchan and on learning 
about what Ranma had told Akane decided to tell her his feelings.  
Akane was angry with him for treating her like an object to be won, but 
told him she still wanted to be friends.  When she questioned him about 
the second reason Ranma spoke of for the feud between the pair; 
Ryouga bolted with the promise of resolving it with Ranma, and 
promptly wandered to Avalon and met the Wierd sisters.  They 
performed a few enchantments on him, one of which enables him to 
teleport when he REALLY wants to get somewhere.  David Xanatos 
starts studying under Ranma, and Ranma and Ryouga have a man to 
man talk which is bugged by Nabiki.  Ryouga winds up swearing that he 
and Ranma wouldn't fight spontaneously anymore, then runs off toward 
home.  Nabiki tells Akane that Ryouga has a Jusenkyo curse, and the 
two instantly deduce the P-chan connection.

			Chapter five

	Akane looked at the window of her room.  Ranma was hanging 
upside down from the roof knocking on the glass.  *He knew...  but he 
couldn't betray Ryouga.  Couldn't talk to me even though he's my 
fiancee*  She walked up to the window and jerked it open.  "Ranma."  
Akane's voice was as cold as a glacier.
	*Oh boy, this was the other reason I didn't want her to find 
out.*  "Nabiki mentioned that she told you..."
	"About Ryouga?"  The look Akane directed at Ranma was 
calm quiet look that only exists to hide the strongest of rages.
	"Look I wanted to tell you, I just..."
	Akane narrowed her eyes in anger and tensed up like a tiger 
preparing to rip its chosen prey to shreds.  Then she relaxed, closed her 
eyes and sat on her bed.  Ranma stared at her wondering why she 
wasn't attacking him when she said "You told me that if you betrayed 
Ryouga you'd be no better than your father."
	Ranma blinked.  He looked at Akane.  She raised her head and 
looked him in the eye.  Ranma sighed and sat next to her on her bed.  
"As long as I can remember my dad's been constantly going on about 
honor, and duty, and what's right, and everything!  And if you dangle 
anything mildly appealing to him before his eyes it's all just words to 
him!"  Ranma looked at the fists he had clenched while speaking about 
his father.  "I've watched him all my life.  The kind of hypocrisy he's 
practiced makes me feel ashamed to be his son.  If he had been in a 
similar situation he'd have promised to keep Ryouga's secret if Ryouga 
gave him food, then the instant he could get a few crackers from telling 
everyone about Ryouga he would have!  Ryouga's curse was my fault, 
and I had to support him no matter how he abused that support."
	"Even when he was sneaking into my room!"
	"That first night I wasn't blaming him, which is why I snuck in 
with a kettle.  I was thinking that I could get him out and talk with him 
and maybe he'd listen."  Ranma ground his teeth in annoyance.  "Of 
course then there was the fight with Kodachi, and I realized he was 
deliberately turning himself into a pig..."  Ranma closed his eyes, and 
forced himself to relax.
	Akane looked at him.  "You could have told me once you saw 
that it was affecting me."
	"I couldn't.  I caused his curse, I had to help him keep it secret."  
Ranma sighed and glanced at Akane.  She was still looking at him 
angrily, but her anger was much less intense.  "It's a question of honor, 
whether Ryouga was acting honorably or not was no excuse for 
betraying him."
	Ranma and Akane looked at each other.  They both felt 
extremely uncomfortable with this discussion, yet at the same time 
Ranma felt relief in sharing this long kept secret with Akane.  Akane 
also felt a mixture of discomfort at hearing about Ranma's past, and joy 
that Ranma was sharing something so personal with her.  Neither one 
could think of something to say so they just looked at each other.
	"Dinner's ready!" called up Kasumi from downstairs.  They both 
looked at the door.
	"Uh, I guess, I mean if I'm late Pop'll grab all of my food." 
Ranma said.
	"...Yeah, we'd better go."
	The two went down to Dinner together.

	In the Tendo Dojo the next day David Xanatos was in his gi 
preparing for his first official lesson with Ranma.  At Ranma's request he 
was performing some of the Kata of Tai-Kwon-Do to warm up.
	"Are you supposed to bend your elbow like that?"  Ranma 
commented as he looked up from the copy of Shonen Jump he was 
looking through.
	*It's a distraction, don't let it affect me, ignore him.*  David 
thought to himself as he tried to filter out the latest of Ranma's 
comments.
	"Hmm, shouldn't more of your weight be on your back foot?"
	"Are you sure the Rhythm of those strikes is ta-ta-TA-ta, not 
ta-TA-ta-ta?"
	"Boy you sure bend that elbow a lot."
	"Shouldn't you retract that kick a bit faster?"
	*Don't let him distract you, just do the kata right.*

	"Do it slowly."  Ranma said, watching as Xanatos traced his leg 
through a high crescent kick.  "Hold it a moment."  Ranma stepped 
forward, looking over the leg which Xanatos was now keeping still 
about five feet off the floor.  He looked over the leg a few moments, 
then said "Forget it, keep going."

	"OK, sparring time."  Ranma said, walking to the side of the 
Dojo.  As Xanatos wiped a little more of the sweat from his forehead 
with his soaked sleeve, he shifted into a basic stance, ignoring his legs 
complaints.  And his torso's complaints.  And his arms complaints.
	Ranma returned with a pair of uncapped markers.  "Try to hit 
me, here's the weapons I'll use"  He bowed to his opponent.
	Xanatos bowed back.  As he came out of the bow he saw 
Ranma being to move toward him and dropped back into a defensive 
stance.  He moved his arm to block a blow to the chest, and felt 
something on his cheek.  He spun round, kicking at Ranma first low 
then high with his right leg.  Ranma landed on his leg as he completed 
the high kick and wrote something on his other cheek.  Bringing his leg 
back Xanatos lashed out with an elbow thrust which extended into a 
backfist.  Both missed Ranma, who dropped to the side as the leg 
moved.  Then Xanatos was thrown back four feet by a light punch to 
the lower chest by Ranma.
	"I thought you were only going to use those markers,"  Xanatos 
said as he shifted into a defensive stance and tried to get his breath 
back.
	"Don't assume.  Anyway let's continue."  Ranma stepped 
forward, and jumped lashing out with a circular kick that missed 
Xanatos by an inch as he stepped back.  The retreat continued as 
Ranma landed, and advanced, throwing punches and kicks at his 
student which Xanatos could barely dodge or block.  Then a hit to the 
head knocked him back the last foot to the wall.
	"Owww," Xanatos commented as he pulled himself to his feet.
	"That's what happens if you let yourself get into a pattern like 
that."
	Looking at Ranma Xanatos replied, "Yeah, one of my Sensei 
told me to try to counter linear techniques with circular ones and vice 
versa."
	Ranma shook his head.  "That's not without merit, but you 
shouldn't limit yourself.  If your opponent knows how you'll react to a 
given move, he's beaten you already.  Look, when I just attacked you I 
was moving at a steady pace, and timing my attacks with constant 
rhythm.  If you had broken the pattern you might have been able to get 
in a hit while I was adjusting."

	Xanatos pulled himself to his feet with great difficulty.  He had 
thought that he had reached his limit a few minutes ago, Ranma's quick 
attack had introduced him to new and untapped resources of strength 
that he hadn't known before.  Now he was begging them to hold out as 
he looked at Ranma.
	"That's enough for today."  Ranma said.
	Xanatos couldn't let himself collapse, he merely slumped 
forward, supporting his upper body with his hands on his knees.  "Th-
thank you."
	"Hey, if I didn't think you had potential I wouldn't be pushing 
you like this."  Ranma responded with a grin.  *Don't laugh* he thought 
to himself as he looked at the writing on Xanatos's face, 'Ranma 
Saotome was here' was written on his left cheek, 'your should take 
these markers more seriously' was on his left, and Ranma had counted 
down across his forehead, from one to fifteen.  "Oh yeah, one last thing 
for today."  Ranma said.
	*Why did I chose to do this?*  Xanatos thought to himself.  
"Yeah?"
	Ranma picked up the bag holding Xanatos's change of clothes.  
"Jog over to Dr. Tofu's clinic.  I'd like you to be in shape to continue the 
lessons tomorrow."  Ranma tossed him the bag and bowed to him.  
Xanatos returned the bow and began to walk out of the Dojo.  "Oh and 
I do mean jog, have your car pick you up there."  Ranma called to him.
	"Yes Sensei."  Xanatos called back.

	"Going a little hard on him Ranma?"  Nabiki said as she 
watched David Xanatos staggering down the street.
	"He's the one who asked to learn," Ranma responded.  "And 
challenge is fundamental to The Art."

	Akane heard a knock at her door.  The volume and rhythm 
were Ranma's.  "Hey Akane," Her fiancee called from behind the door.
	"What is it Ranma?" Akane responded, putting her pen down 
and rising from her desk.
	"Well, I just checked and Kasumi should be finishing dinner in a 
little while.  Can I come in?"
	"Come in."
	Ranma entered the room.  "So Akane, I just wanted to know 
what you decided about Ryouga... I mean..."
	"Ranma, I can understand why you didn't tell me, but I want 
you to give me your word of honor now that you will never keep any 
secret like that from me again." Akane said looking him in the eye.
	Ranma looked back at her fierce expression.  "I give you my 
word that I will never hide anything like Ryouga's transformation from 
you again."  Ranma said.  "Okay?" he added in a slightly annoyed tone.
	"Ranma," said Akane, drawing out every syllable.  Then she 
smiled.
	*Uh-oh.*
	"When you see Ryouga don't tell him I know about P-chan, I'd 
like to surprise him."
	Ranma felt a chill shoot down his spine as he looked into his 
fiancee's face.  "Uh, ok."

	Ranma sat at the table in the Tendo main room examining his 
math homework.  *I hate math,* he thought as he doodled a picture of 
Ryouga with a black eye and missing teeth while he tried to figure out 
just what the question was asking.  *I especially hate the homework.  
And the tests.  And having to stay awake in class...*
	From the garden came the cry, "Nihau Ranma!"  The Purple 
haired girl who had spoken entered the room, carrying a takeout 
container.
	"Hi Shampoo," Ranma replied.  He glanced past her searching 
for Cologne or Mousse, both were missing.  He looked at the container 
she was carrying.  *Hmm, I don't think anyone ordered anything from 
the Nekohanten so she must just be coming to bring me dinner on a 
whim.  Or she's got some sort of magic food, but if it was she'd be 
pushing for me to eat it already.*
	"Ranma, Shampoo bring deluxe Ramen for whole Dojo!  Even 
for Tomboy if Tomboy wants."
	"HEY!" screamed Akane as she stormed down the stairs.  
"What do you think your doing here!?"
	"Shampoo not need reason to visit husband," Shampoo replied 
as she put the Ramen container on the table then jumped onto Ranma 
wrapping her arms around his neck.
	"Uh, could you... not do that?  I mean,"  Ranma stammered as 
he tried to maintain as much separation from Shampoo as he could 
considering how she was trying to mold her body against his.  Then he 
was knocked away from her by a very heavy blow to his head.
	"Go ahead and make out all you want!" she said angrily, turning 
her back on Ranma.
	"It's not like that!  Why do you always assume the worst!" 
Ranma shouted as he jumped back to his feet.
	"HAH! Like I should trust you after you hid Ryouga's little 
secret!?"  Akane responded, turning to look Ranma in the eye.
	"I knew you'd never understand about the honor of two 
warriors."  Ranma grumbled.
	"Ranma not waste time with bad tempered untrusting girl, you 
take Shampoo on date! Yes?" Shampoo said, latching onto Ranma's 
arm.
	"Oh, so it's honorable to help someone sleep with your fiancee 
just because your both guy's!?"
	"That's not it at all!" Ranma responded, almost knocking 
Shampoo across the room as he gestured.
	"Ranma!" called Shampoo.
	""Well how is it then!!"  Akane stepped toward Ranma, shifting 
her grip on the hammer she had just pulled out of nowhere.
	"I caused his problem, so I had to help him deal with it!"
	"And how did letting him be P-chan help!?"
	"Your the one who couldn't see the truth until it got shoved 
down your throat!!"
	"WHY YOU!!"
	Shampoo was an amazon warrior, and extremely devoted to 
Ranma.  The fact that she let go of his arm and stepped back just 
before Akane knocked him out of the house says a lot about the 
appearance Akane's aura.

	"Uncute Tomboy."  Ranma muttered to himself as he looked 
around.  Extrapolating from the force of Akane's hit and the angle of 
ascent, he deduced that he'd be landing close to Ryouga's old house.  
"Well, no chance of seeing Ryouga then."

	A second from impact with the ground, Ranma twisted his body 
around and, with long practiced skill, focused his chi through his legs to 
let him land lightly on his feet despite falling at near terminal velocity.  He 
looked to his right and saw the canal.  *Incredible, I missed it.*
	"Ranma?" said a mature female voice from behind him.  He 
turned, and saw Ryouga's mother standing next to the entrance of her 
house.
	"Uh, hi Auntie Hibiki."  Ranma called nervously.
	"Is Ryouga with you by any chance?"  Mrs. Hibiki asked.
	"Sorry.  He said he was coming here but he refused to let me 
lead him."
	"So like his father, 'I don't get lost, I don't need directions.'" she 
smiled as she shook her head.  "Well, I just got back from the store and 
I shouldn't need to go out again for a week or two so he should get here 
while I'm home."
	"You haven't seen him in a while, have you?" Ranma asked 
quietly.
	"Not since a day before that big match you and he were having.  
Would you like to come in for some tea?  I would like to hear 
something about my son, in case it takes him longer to get here."
	Ranma thought of the few times when Mrs. Hibiki had been 
home when he had brought Ryouga home from school.  It was one of 
the rare occasions he and Ryouga had been friendly and peaceful 
toward one another.  They had both treasured her company, Ryouga 
because he saw her so seldom, Ranma because he hadn't seen his own 
mother in so long.  "...OK."  *I'd better give Akane some time to calm 
down, anyway.*

	*Why can't I  get away from here?!*  Ryouga thought as he 
saw the entrance to the Tendo Dojo.  *Akane...  she doesn't love me.  
Ranma's turned my world to ashes, and I can't punish him for it because 
Akane asked me not to.  I have to get away and hope that the solitude 
can purge the sorrow from me.*
	He turned to walk away when a passing motorist splashed 
water from a puddle onto him.  *Maybe it's fate,* P-chan thought.

	"So my son was cursed by the magic spring?" Mrs. Hibiki said 
quietly.
	"Yeah, I mean I couldn't think of anything but making my dad 
pay for inflicting my own curse on me.  And while I was chasing dad 
Ryouga happened to step in the wrong place and I knocked him in and 
didn't even notice it.  Ryouga's wanted to kill me ever since.  It got even 
worse since he fell for my fiancee."
	"You have a fiancee?"
	Ranma grimaced.  "I have too many fiancee's.  Basically it 
started when pop and I got back to Japan.  We were going to the 
house of a friend of his and a few blocks away he said that I was 
engaged to one of this friends daughters..."

	"...And then Ukyo tossed me a Okonomiyaki with a heart on it 
and said she'd stop being mad at me for what my dad did."  Ranma 
sighed and thought of his life a moment.
	"My your life is complicated Ranma."  Mrs. Hibiki commented.  
She refilled the cups of tea.  "But which fiancee is my son interested in?"
	"Akane.  It happened the night I discovered about his Pig curse.  
That...  Well... Ryouga..."
	Mrs. Hibiki said, "Used his curse to get her to adopt him as her 
pet?"
	Ranma blinked a moment.  "How did you guess that?"
	"I know my son.  Not as well as if I could see him more often, 
but I know him.  He has the same directional curse that I and his father 
have.  Our inability to find our way condemns us to being alone for long 
periods of time.  This loneliness makes us cherish any moments of love 
and affection we can find."  She sighed.  "It's even worse with Ryouga.  
A few months before he met you the girl he had been seeing broke up 
with him because he got them lost on a date.  I expect that the spring 
would have only intensified his feelings of loneliness.  If this girl you love 
showed him affection he would have latched onto it with a death grip."
	"Yeah... HEY I DIDN'T SAY NOTHING ABOUT LOVE!!"
	"I assumed that you wouldn't be mad at Ryouga for pursuing 
her unless you were in love with her yourself."
	"Uh, it's a... question of honor, yeah that's it.  I am not in love 
with that uncute sexless tomboy.  Her cooking could flatten Godzilla."
	"Is there nothing about her you would fight for then?"  Mrs. 
Hibiki took a sip from her cup of tea.
	"Well, she is pretty nice to most folks beside me, and 
sometimes when she's feeling happy she has this smile that just..." 
Ranma trailed off, thinking back to the too few moments when he had 
seen her smile.  *Maybe I should get her something as a partial apology 
about P-chan...*
	"I see."  Mrs. Hibiki smiled slightly.  "Well, so my son is 
pursuing this fiancee who you claim not to love.  Has he said anything to 
her?"
	"Actually yes.  About a week ago he told her how he felt.  She 
told him no.  Still wants to be friends with him though.  Anyway he 
didn't tell her about P-chan, that's what she called his pig form.  But 
yesterday I was talking to him about our mutual past and Akane's sister 
Nabiki had the room bugged."  Ranma took a sip of his tea.  "Now 
Akane knows.  I have no idea how she'll react regarding Ryouga since 
he left for here just before she found out."
	"Oh dear, you will keep her from doing anything too awful to 
Ryouga, wouldn't you?"
	"I give you my word of honor."  Ranma responded quietly.  
Mrs. Hibiki looked into his eyes and smiled.
	"Thank you Ranma." Mrs. Hibiki said.  After a moments though 
she added, "You have more to tell me, I assume."
	"A lots happened to me.  I haven't told you about my mom yet, 
have I?"

	There was a small black pig sitting in the entrance to the Tendo 
Dojo.  *What am I doing?* Ryouga thought as he looked at the 
entrance to the house.   *Akane doesn't want me.  Why am I reminding 
myself how wonderful it would be if she did.  It's just making it harder 
later.*  He looked down.  *She doesn't want to be anything more to me 
than a friend.  And now I'm here, and if anything goes wrong she 
wouldn't even want that.*
	The door opened and Kasumi stepped out, carrying her 
shopping basket.  "Oh hello P-chan."  She said holding the door open.  
"Won't you come in?"
	Ryouga looked at the open door, and with a running leap 
entered the house.

	Akane was sitting at her desk fuming while Nabiki was on her 
bed doing leg lifts.
	"Akane, P-chan's here."  Called Kasumi from downstairs.
	Akane clenched a fist, every knuckle in her hand popping.
	"Oh, just going to pound him?" Nabiki asked.
	Akane looked at her sister in annoyance.  "It'll be a very 
thorough pounding."
	"Well if you're going to settle for that."  Nabiki said as she 
shifted to a siting position.
	"Have you got a better idea?" Akane asked.
	Nabiki stood.  "I have a really fitting idea.  Just play along and 
pretend P-chan's not Ryouga at first."

	Ryouga was walking slowly through the main room when a pair 
of hands grabbed him by the side.  *Oh Akane...*  The hands turned 
him face to face with their owner.  Nabiki.
	"Here he is."  Nabiki said showing the pig to Akane.  P-chan 
squirmed toward her.
	Akane crossed her arms and said with a smile, "Oh P-chan.  He 
was lost for a week this time Nabiki.  Why is he always running off?"
	Nabiki looked at the pig she was holding then said, "He's 
probably just got a lot of energy.  I guess all you can do about that is 
wait and hope he quiets down.  Maybe he'd stick around if there were 
some kids to play with him."  Out of P-chan's sight Nabiki winked at 
her sister.
	*Should I?  Yeah I think so.*  "Nabiki!  Ranma and I agreed to 
wait till we've graduated before starting a family."  P-chan stared at her 
in shock.
	"Oh, and what about all that noise from your room last night?"
	*Your pushing it sis.*  "I don't see that as your business." 
Akane responded coldly.  P-chan quivered in anger as tears streamed 
down his face.
	*Hmm, a twist of the knife.*  "Hey Akane, I just thought of 
something.  I understand that pets become less aggressive when their, 
you know fixed."  P-chan's eyes opened real wide as he froze in shock.
	"Are you sure Nabiki?  I mean isn't loosing something like that 
kind of traumatic?"
	"Hey they get over it real quick.  Matter of fact fixed animals 
tend to live longer."
	Akane looked at P-chan who was now frantically shaking his 
head while trying to squirm out of Nabiki's grasp.  Akane reached out 
and took him from her sister.  "Ok Nabiki it sounds like a great idea!"  
P-chan froze, then started his version of Soun's hydraulic crying 
technique.  *Hmm, this is fun.  Still I guess I'd better let the jerk out of 
his misery.*  "Well, at least it's a good idea if Ryouga here tries to sneak 
into my room again."
	P-chan froze.  * She knows?  RANMA!! YOU SAID YOU 
WOULDN'T TELL HER!!*
	"Aw, are we through already?" Nabiki asked.  "Couldn't you 
have decided that fixing animals was easy and gone into the kitchen to 
demonstrate?"
	Akane looked at Nabiki a moment then commented, "Maybe,"  
*I wish I had thought of that,*  "Of course I still owe Ryouga a 
pounding for all those times he snuck into my bed."  She looked over 
the pig.
	Ryouga closed his eyes.  *I want to be somewhere else, 
ANYWHERE ELSE AS LONG AS IT'S FAR AWAY!*
	Akane saw an aura of greenish light suddenly appear around P-
chan.  Startled she released him.  He hung in the air a moment then 
vanished.

	Sunrise was a mere hour away.  Demona was standing on the 
roof of a condemned building looking up through the clouds at Castle 
Wyvern.  *My daughter...*  She sighed and turned away, walking to 
the edge preparing to glide away.  Then she stiffened and turned to her 
right.  *What the, where could a surge of magic that strong come 
from?!*  Running along the roof she leaped off and glided in the 
direction of the power she had felt.
	In a few moments she was perched outside a coffee shop.  
*Hmm, I think this is where I felt it coming from.*  Suddenly a pillar of 
energy shot smashed a hole in the small building's roof.  *This should be 
interesting, I just hope that display doesn't draw Goliath and the 
others.*  she thought as she leaped onto the roof and slipped into the 
newly created hole.
	Demona landed in the attic, and leaning over she looked into the 
coffee shop itself.  Sitting on the floor beneath her was a young boy with 
a tablecloth wrapped around him.  His hair was black and he had a 
yellow and black bandanna tied to his head.  Demona heard him 
muttering in what she recognized as Japanese, a language she had 
learned a little of two hundred and fifty years ago.  Unfortunately that 
was also the last time she had used the language.
	">Excuse me,<" a waiter said, tentatively approaching the 
young man.
	"Ano, >Pardon, I speak English not well.<"
	">Uh, we just wanted to know why your here, why you just did 
that.<" the waiter gestured toward the destroyed ceiling.
	"Gomen, >I'm sorry, I not mean did that.<"  He slumped 
slightly.  ">I not sure why here, was in Tokyo, then was here.<"
	">Uh, right.  Is there any chance you'll blast something else?<"
	">Blast?  No, no blast.<"  The waiter let out a sigh of relief.  
Then he turned to look at the door.
	">Excuse us.< said one of the two Police officer as they walked 
up to the boy and the waiter.  ">We were called because there was a 
disturbance.  Your the cause?<" he asked Ryouga.
	"Gomen, > I sorry.  Accident.<  Ranma..."
	">Uh huh, well I hope you wouldn't mind coming with us too 
much.  We'll just need to ask you a few questions, find you something 
to wear beside that tablecloth, that sort of thing.<
	The boy looked at them.  ">ok.<"
	">Good, just come this way kid.  What's your name by the 
way?<"
	"Hibiki Ryouga"
	*Hibiki Ryouga,* Demona considered the name a moment.  
Standing and slipping to a back window she slipped out and climbed to 
the roof.   *I think Dominique Destine will have to schedule in a meeting 
with Mr. Ryouga tomorrow.*

	In episode six, Ryouga meets a few new people, Time passes, 
and New York becomes a vacation possibility.
