Chapter Text
A very female, very wet Ryoga was walking the streets of what he thought was a small town in the Qinghai province, the feared rain had come but for once, Ryoga was beaming, his smile could likely outshine the sun itself.
“I’m… I’m human, I still can’t believe it” the bandanna wearing boy, currently a girl, was laughing like crazy. - ‘Finally, I can enjoy the rain again,” His eyes were tearing. ‘It’s been such a long time since I’ve felt the rain and I won’t have to be a pig ever again’ his smile grew even wider ‘I can’t understand why Ranma hates this, it feels so… natural’. The lost boy was practically skipping when he suddenly crashed with a blue haired girl who was running trying to reach her home to escape the rain.
“I’m sorry” both exclaimed at the same time.
Ryoga, once he noticed who he had stumbled with, exclaimed “A-Akane-San!, what are you doing in China?”.
The Tendo daughter recovered from the fall and looked at the girl trying to figure out who she was, she raised an eyebrow when she noticed what the girl looked like ‘wow, she is definitely a Hibiki, probably a cousin of Ryoga”.
The lost boy in presence of his crush started feeling extremely self-conscious under the scrutinizing glare of the younger Tendo sister, a slight blush starting to grow on his cheeks.
Before Ryoga could say anything Akane spoke “Um… excuse me miss but, do I know you?”
“He he, of course you wouldn’t recognize me, I’m Ryoga, I… got lost in China and I.. I got this curse” Ryoga scratched his neck, he was still nervous around Akane, however, being a girl at the moment somehow made Ryoga feel a bit more secure and less nervous around his crush.
Akane’s eyes widened, and her jaw dropped. She was looking at a slightly taller green haired girl donning Ryoga’s yellow clothes and bandanna, she was a bit more muscular than herself and much like Ranma she was very well gifted, with vibrant Emerald eyes and those cute fangs showing that she was indeed a Hibiki. Akane couldn’t help but blush, she was beautiful. Due to her short hair, ragged clothes and well built body, the lost girl looked like a very beautiful butch and the Tendo girl had to avert her eyes trying to suppress the strange thoughts bubbling in her head screaming that the girl in front of her was extremely attractive. Akane awkwardly coughed trying to hide her confusing blush and said.
“O-oh no! Are you okay?” Akane was concerned about her friend and how he would react to this. “I mean, I know you probably are not very happy right now, I really hope you can get a cure soon.” Looking back into the eyes of her lost friend she noticed that he was blushing as well and thought that he must be feeling extremely uncomfortable in the wrong body. “Would you like to come with me to the Dojo? You could get a bath and change to a guy for now, it must be difficult adapting to this alone, especially on the road and it’s been a while since we last saw you, we missed you, you can stay for a while, we can help you adjust to this.”
Ryoga looked at those beautiful brown eyes and immediately remembered the warmth of the Tendo residence, the delicious food provided by Kasumi and smiled warmly, hell, he even missed Ranma (even though he would never admit it out loud) and was a bit excited to fight with him in his new girl body to find out if it had the same advantages of Ranma’s girl mode and start getting used to his new curse, and on top of that, he would also have some time to spend with his beloved Akane without fearing cold water and an accidental transformation into P-Chan. He completely tried to ignore the weird disappointment he felt about having to change back into a boy.
“Sure Akane-san! I’d love to, I’m pretty hungry and tired, it’s been a while since I’ve had any proper rest” ‘She’s always so kind’ Ryouga thought dreamily while trying to not get lost following the blue haired girl in front of him.
They quickly arrived at their destination trying to get out as fast as they could out of the rain.

The two martial artists entered the Tendo residence, after leaving their shoes in the genkan both announced themselves.
“We’re home”. “I found Ryoga on the way back, he’s got a surprise for us” Added Akane.
A little redhead poked his head out of the kitchen, while Kasumi stopped cooking for a moment and prepared herself to go and tend to her guest.
“Hey pigbrains, it’s been a whi- '' Ranma stopped what he was saying and his eyes widened comically immediately after seeing the gorgeous girl standing besides Akane, his jaw almost touched the floor once he noticed she was wearing Ryoga’s usual attire, while an equally surprised Kasumi exclaimed her usual “Oh my.''
“RY-RYOGA??”
