"Lazy boy..." Genma grumbled to himself as he sneaked up on Ranma's sleeping form. He grinned as he reared his leg back and bellowed, "GET UP BOY!" as he punted Ranma in the head. "GOAL!!" he screamed in triumph as his son flew towards the springs.
*********************************

"GOD DAMN FAT-ASS!" screamed Ranma as he flew through the air, clutching at his face. Hearing a scream of surprise from behind him, he snapped into action. Shifting his weight and spinning around, he was just in time to see the bamboo pole right before he hit it, snapping it in half. He slammed into the ground, tumbling violently but managing to stop right beside a small spring in which a figure was thrashing around, having fallen from the pole he'd slammed into. Untying his sash and racing around to get closer, he skidded to a stop and tossed the end of it to the person -- the girl, a part of his mind noted."

"Grab on! I'll pull you out!"
**************************

"I'll pull you out!" was all that penetrated her panic stricken mind. She felt something land on her arm and clutched it for dear life. Her heart leapt when she felt herself being pulled quickly, and she nearly cried when she felt the bottom of the spring brush against her arm. She felt herself lifted out of the spring and she clutched onto her savior, finally losing it and crying from her near death.
*****************

As Ranma pulled her out, he's almost knocked on his ass as the red headed girl clothes lines him into a bear hug. Not knowing what to do with the crying girl, he uncomfortably pats her on the back. After a few moments, she calms and was about to speak as she felt the boy get struck from behind, sending her flying, right back into the spring.

"BOY! STOP FLIRTING! IT'S TIME TO TRAIN!"

"POP! You stupid idiot! She can't swim!" Ranma screamed as he fished her out with his sash, again. When he got her on solid ground, Ranma spun on his father with a heel kick and sent him spinning into a nearby spring. Quickly turning back to the girl, Ranma saw a sight that would haunt his dreams for the rest of his life. A girl, beautiful by any means, but with three things that made his blood run cold.
Slitted eyes.
A tail.
And c-cat ears.
With a sharp intake of breath, which was meant to start a scream of terror, Ranma's mind passed out as other, buried instincts took control.
**********************

She sat, kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath as her mind went into shock from feeling the change blast through her body twice. The second time being more painful, and seemingly more significant. The last thing she consciously did was look up at the boy who saved her collapsing into a shivering ball. Then, she knew no more as her mind shut down in shock and her new body took over.
***********************************************

As Genma broke the surface of the pool, he saw his son collapse. "What the hell?" he mumbled to himself. Or so he thought. In all actuality, it came out as a cute, squeaky 'Gowfing' sound. His eyes got huge as he saw his son walking over to the.... Cat Girl? on all fours.
*Wait... Cat Girl? Oh shit..* and with that, he turned and wobbly ran for the nearest cover he could find, as fast as his short, furry legs would take him. Straight to the Guides hut.
****************************

As Ranma woke up, he felt amazingly relaxed and refreshed. So much so that he kept his eyes closed to enjoy the feeling. But just as he was about to drift back into sleep, some instinct told him to hug and cuddle the area to his right. And low-and-behold, his pillow filled the space in his arms quite nicely. Or so he thought until his 'pillow' groaned in contented pleasure as it snuggled further into his chest.
***************************************************

She grudgingly woke to the world as her pillow sat bolt upright. *Damn pillow. Sit your ass back down, I feel too good to wake up. Wait a sec... Pillows don't sit up..* With that sleepy realization, her memories of the past six hours rushed back to her. She snapped her eyes wide open and stared at her 'pillow' in horror, and no little amount of appreciation. She came eye to eye with her pillow, "Did we really..." she started, but stopped herself as the memories flashed back to her...
***************************

After almost thirty seconds of the watching the girl stare off into space with a weird smile, Ranma waved his hand in front of her face, snapping her back to the world. She stared at Ranma, blushing before the full impact slammed into her. *OHMYGOD! I did... WITHSOMEONEIDON'TEVENKNOW!!* With that, her panicked mind resolved to do two things. One, get dressed. A lady doesn't just run around in the nude, after all. Suddenly, a memory flashed through her mind. *Well, usually she doesn't...* she blushingly amended to herself.

The second thing was to get the HELL outta dodge and to some place where she could work this out. *The village! There are plenty of places in the village I can be alone!* By the time this thought had completely formed, she was dressed and leaving a trail of dust and fluttering leaves.
*************************************************

Ranma was sent flipping in the air as the girl tore out of his arms and across the field. How she got dressed that fast, he would never know.. He was staring at the dust trail left by the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen as one of the leaves she kicked up stuck him in the eye. "OW! SONOVA!!" he shouted, glaring at the leaf that hit him. Or would have been if the leaf had been an actual leaf.

"Ranko Tendo; Tokyo Central High School.." he read off the card, staring at 'Ranko's' picture.
