Chapter 3: Explanations

They all set themselves in the living room. Kagome and Inu-yasha sat together as Ranma faced them. Mrs. Higurashi came over and placed tea and cookies on the coffee table in front of them. “Here you are.” She smiled sweetly. “Arigato gozaimatsu.” Ranma bowed politely. She nodded and walked away. “Her mother's as sweet as Kasumi.” Ranma noted with a soft smile.

Kagome sipped the tea and set it down again. “Ranma…let's start it off with this. One day I was off to school when my kid brother, Souta, was looking for Buyo, my pet cat.” Ranma tensed by the word he feared the most. “A c-cat you say…you don't suppose…” He looked around the room warily. “What?” Kagome asked. “Ino, continue.”

Kagome nodded. “I found him but suddenly a demon centipede pulled me into the hidden well at our shrine.” He raised an eyebrow.

“A demon, a hidden well were you okay?” He asked in concern. “Yes, don't worry I took care of her.” She smiled, glad that he was worried about her safety. Inu-yasha simply snorted and looked away. Kagome coughed and continued. “Anyway, the demon pulled me and I was thus plunged into Japan's ancient past.”

Ranma jumped in surprise. “Japan's what… that's impossible.” “I couldn't believe it either, that's not even the end of it, I soon found Inu-yasha enchanted to the same tree I have in my back yard.” Kagome added. “Hah! What a loser being shown to a girl strapped to a tree, and a cute one at that.” He chuckled taking a sip of tea.

Kagome clapped her hands on her cheeks and blushed. “K-kawaii?!” Inu-yasha glared and tossed a magazine to his head. Ranma rubbed his face and smirked. “If I didn't know any better I'd say you're jealous.” Kagome appeared in front of Inu-yasha. “Are you Inu-yasha?” Inu-yasha turned slightly crimson at the suddenly appearing girl. He looked away. “Keh, you don't know any better, you all got it wrong. I was angry at him commenting about that stupid enchantment that I fell into.”

Ranma looked at the timid hanyou. “What a maroon.” He thought. He rested his elbow on the coffee table and munched on a cookie. “Please continue.” Kagome nodded. “Afterwards, I freed him and learned about this Shikon no tama, which enhances a demon or human powers. This jewel was born from my body somehow, and I'm in charge of protecting it after a priestess.”

“Shikon no tama? Demons? Was this really Japan's past?” Ranma questioned. “It's hard to believe it but yes.” Kagome nodded. “Later we were fighting a demon crow which swallowed the jewel, I shot my arrow and killed it but I accidentally shattered the jewel into many shards and they're now spread all across of Japan.” She mentioned. “And let me take a guess you got to team up with this guy in order to gather them all right?” Ranma finished. “Yes exactly that; we have help along the way, I have other friends but they can't pass through our time.”

“Oh. Well that explains it; my stories aren't as usual either.” Ranma sighed. “Let's start off with this.” He grabbed a glass of water and splashed it over his head.

Gasps spread around the room.

“You're really a girl? No wait I got it you're a cross dresser.” Inu-yasha guessed. Ranma knocked him at the top of his head. “No, baka ne, I'm under a curse!” He shouted angrily. “What kind of curse, what cursed you?” Kagome asked. Ranma sat back down and began, “As you see when I poured cold water on myself I turned into a girl. It happened about a year and half ago, I was in China training with my father.”

Flashback*

“You sirs, very strange one no?… this place very dangerous, nobody use now cause more than one hundred spring here each one have own tragedy happen there.” As the Jusenkyo guide began with a strong accent but was soon cut off. “Ranma, follow me!” As he leaped. “Right behind ya!” As he leaped after him. “Ah sirs! What you doing? I have not finished my tragic story. You can't go there.” He shouted.

Ranma and Genma were on top of bamboo poles in position to battle. “I won't go easy on you Ranma.” Genma noted. “Good, just the way I like it.” Ranma smirked and soon they began sparing each other. “No, it very bad if you fall in spring.” The guide warned, but they ignored him.

They both kicked and punched some more then Ranma kicked his father off one of the poles and plunged him into the water. “Oh what's the matter pop finished already?” Ranma teased.

Then suddenly a giant panda arose from the spring aiming at Ranma angered.

“What…what the hell is that?” Ranma asked in shock and looked at the Jusenkyo guide for an answer. “Shonmaoniichuan, spring of drowned panda, very tragic tale of panda, who drown in this very spring 2000 year ago, now who fall in spring take form of panda.” The guide explained.

“Hey buddy; you never said anything about that to us.” Ranma frowned. Ranma looked back at the panda. “Pop?” His father hadn't noticed his transformation and charged at Ranma giving him a punch making him fall into the spring under him.

“Oooh too bad, you fall in spring of Nyanniichuan, spring of drown girl, another tragic tale of young girl who drown in this spring 1500 year ago, now who fall in spring take body of girl.” The guide explained again. Ranma popped back out gasping for air swimming wildly. Ranma screamed when he noticed his pair of breasts. “See, now you young girl?”

End of flashback

“That's what happened.” She or he frowned folding her arms. “Baka, why did you go there in the first place?” Inu-yasha scoffed. “It wasn't like it was my idea; my father was the one who brought us there without knowing a lick of Chinese!” Ranma shouted again.

“How do you change back?” Kagome wondered calming her down. “With hot water.” She replied. “Oh you mean this?” Inu-yasha smirked, pouring the hot water over his head. “Yeoww h-hot!!” He yelled turning back to a boy. “That's why you poured hot water over Inu-yasha, because he looked like someone who has fallen into one of the springs. He nodded.

“Keh, as if I would be as stupid to jump into a spring, and be cursed with something so stupid.” Inu-yasha snorted. “Well I wouldn't talk you look like some sort of half-wit.” Ranma sneered. “Rrr…don't even go there.” Inu-yasha growled. “Your father changes into a panda?” Kagome coughed cutting off Inu-yasha's growls.

“Yeah, but it's not just us, you remember Shampoo right well, she turns into a cat, as for another that turns into a piglet and one other one that turns into a duck.” Ranma mentioned. “Oh my, so many people got cursed and there's no way to lift it?” Kagome blinked. “There is one way. I've been thinking I have to get back to China somehow and find the right spring to turn me back into a guy for good.” Ranma answered. “Now I get it.” Kagome sighed. “I hope you find the answer.” Ranma smiled. “I know I will.”

Kagome returned her smile. She looked down at her lap when Buyo crawled on to it. “Hey Buyo.” Ranma backed away from her. “N-neko, please don't bring it near me.” Ranma shrieked waving his hands in front of him. “Are you afraid of cats?” Kagome asked, hiding Buyo away. “N-no, I'm just…th-they just m-make me uncomfortable.” Ranma stuttered.

Inu-yasha picked up Buyo. “Is that so…how about now?” Inu-yasha taunted waving the cat in his face. “Ahh get it away from me!” Ranma screamed running behind Kagome. “How pathetic hiding behind Kagome like that I can't believe Ranma is afraid of a little kitty cat.” Inu-yasha snickered. “Who said I was afraid of cats!” He shouted banging on the coffee table. Inu-yasha lifted Buyo in his face again. “Yah! Ranma yelled crawling away from him quickly.

“Come back here Ranma, how will you get over you fear if you don't act up?” Inu-yasha toyed, chasing him around with Buyo in his hands. “Inu-yasha, enough already…stop teasing him…” Kagome shouted after him. “Get it away from me!” Ranma shrieked running around with Inu-yasha holding Buyo just behind him.

Kagome halted. “That's it, Inu-yasha Oswari!!” Kagome commanded. Inu-yasha's eyes suddenly widened at the sound of the word and crashed face first to the floor crushing Buyo under him. Buyo squirmed from under him and ran off. Kagome ran over to him. “Really Inu-yasha, you could be very childish sometimes. Ranma, Ranma, where are you, Ranma?” Kagome called.

“Meow.”

Kagome heard strange meows coming from under the coffee table. Kagome peered under the table. Ranma suddenly jumped out knocking the table over. Water leaked over to Kagome's foot and she looked back up at Ranma. “Ranma…kimi doshtano?”

“Meow.” He yowled waving his butt in the air.

Kagome gasped. “Ranma you're…”
