While this is technically a sequel to 'Nekoken is Out of the Bag?!,' it is not necessary to read that series to understand what is going on here.

While I am working on finishing the first few chapters, this is still an incomplete series and is unlikely to be finished any time soon. It was posted to better complete Nekoken.

Chapter 1 - WHAT?!?
-------------------------------------

The rain poured down on the inhabitants of Nerima as two people, who had a very good reason to be out in this weather, approached Dr. Tofu's clinic.

Dr. Tofu raised an eyebrow when he heard a knock at the door. His clinic wasn't going to be opened for another hour. He opened the door and was surprised to see Ranma in female form with some guy there. He thought it was odd that the guy seemed somewhat familiar despite that he had never seen a guy with natural looking blue hair before.

Ranma looked at Dr. Tofu with obvious fear in her eyes. "Doc, we need your help."

"Certainly," Dr. Tofu said as he ushered the two of them inside. He was certainly concerned considering Ranma was suppose to be on his honeymoon with Akane.

Dr. Tofu was about to ask about Akane when Ranma blurted out, "Somehow Akane took my curse, and I'm stuck like this!"

Dr. Tofu blinked. He really hoped he didn't hear what he thought he just heard. "Akane?"

The guy nodded. "Yes."

Dr. Tofu was VERY worried about this. He didn't know of any means to transfer a Jusenkyo curse. He led them into the examination room. He handed the guy hot water from a teakettle. Dr. Tofu watched carefully as the guy upended the water over himself, and turned into Akane. Ranma also took some hot water, but it only added more water to her already soaked body.

Akane quickly readjusted her clothes to keep them from falling.

"Can you tell me how this might have happened?" Dr. Tofu requested.

"Well, um..." Ranma began uneasily. "Shampoo gave Akane some instant spring of drowned man as a wedding present. About a week ago, she used it. That's the only unusual thing that's happened." Her face turning deep red.

Dr. Tofu was more than a bit surprised at hearing that. He never thought.... "How long did she remain a man and you a girl?"

"We were going to change back yesterday, but I didn't change and she turned back into a guy when she got wet," Ranma quickly replied.

Dr. Tofu took a moment to think. When Akane was drowned at Jusenkyo a couple months ago, it could have left her predisposed to picking up a curse. It may not be permanent either. But why would Ranma be stuck as a girl? He don't see how that could be connected to the instant spring... The only reason he could think of would be... oh, boy. The doctor became rather pale at the thought.

"Dr. Tofu, do you know what's wrong?" Akane asked.

"I... I might have an idea. I'd like to run some tests." Dr. Tofu prayed he was wrong. "If you don't mind, I'd like to talk with Cologne about this. She may know what the problem is."

"Sure," Ranma replied.

-------------------------------------

Dr. Tofu sat in his office, waiting for the test results. Ranma and Akane were still in the examination room. Since he was waiting, now would be a good time to call Cologne, but he was sure he didn't want the answer she'd give him. He reluctantly picked up the phone and dialed.

"Hello. Thanks for calling Nekohanten, how may I serve you?" answered Cologne from the other end.

"Hello, Cologne, this is Dr. Tofu. I need to ask you some things regarding Jusenkyo curses," Dr. Tofu requested.

"Oh, and what is it you want to know?" Cologne asked with a touch of curiosity to her voice.

"Can the curse be transferred with the use of say... instant spring of drowned man?" Dr. Tofu asked with some hope.

"I've never heard of that happening." Cologne sounded very interested.

"Then, um, how could someone end up trapped in their cursed form?" Dr. Tofu questioned nervously.

"There are many possible ways for that to happen," Cologne replied.

"Can you tell me some of the biological reasons?" Dr. Tofu pressed.

"Well, if the person has a disease that cools the skin to the point where any water that touches it would be too cold to trigger the change. There are certain ways chi can be manipulated that could prevent changing," Cologne explained.

"What about..." Dr. Tofu whispered the next word to make sure Ranma and Akane weren't listening in.

-------------------------------------

A moment later in the waiting room, Ranma and Akane heard what sounded like Cologne laughing from Dr. Tofu's office.

Several minutes later, Dr. Tofu entered the examination room. He was extremely nervous. He doubted they were going to take this well. Cologne's response on the phone only added to what he thought was the reason Ranma hadn't transformed back into a guy. The test he ran wasn't the most accurate, but it agreed with his suspicion.

Dr. Tofu gathered up his courage to tell them. For some reason, he felt he rather tell them someone died than this. He also knew subtlety in approaching this would be lost on them, he had to come out and say it. "Ranma... I've discovered why you can't change back. The reason is because you're... pregnant."

"I... I'M WHAT?!?" Ranma's scream momentarily lifted the roof off the clinic.

"Wha... you can't mean...." Akane stammered, her face was as pale as a ghost.

Dr. Tofu placed his hand on Ranma's shoulder. "I ran a test and conferred with Cologne, and the results pointed to one possibility, that you are pregnant."

"I can't be pregnant! I'M A GUY!" Ranma yelled, shaking like a leaf in a typhoon.

Dr. Tofu knew that the quicker Ranma accepted it, the better. "I'm sorry, Ranma, but the test results came up positive. You are pregnant."

Ranma's face was locked in unimaginable horror. She stared at Dr. Tofu, wanting him to say it was joke. The sad eyes of the doctor told her it wasn't.

Akane could not believe what she just heard, but knew Dr. Tofu well enough to know he wouldn't joke about this. She collapsed into a chair. "I... I'm going to be a mother...no a FATHER?!" Her mind threatened to take a vacation.

"No," came from Ranma's lips like a whisper. "No," she said weakly. "No," she repeated disbelievingly. "NO!" Ranma screamed at the top of her lungs and ran out of the clinic.

Akane, startled by the outburst, chased after Ranma.

-------------------------------------

A man walked through the pouring rain. He didn't care about the rain. It meant nothing to him. What did mean something to him had been stripped from his hands forever. There was something else that mattered to him, that may still be available to him, but it was of little comfort to him at the moment. He just walked through the rain lost to his own world.

He was startled when a girl with a pigtail ran into him. She was crying and saying things incoherently, "How can I be... I was the groom.... I'm a guy... how can I be... pregnant?..."

The man instinctively gave the girl a little hug. He wanted to do more, but, somehow, it seemed wrong at the moment. What the girl said made little sense. He was stunned when she said she was pregnant.

"Ranma?" another guy called, approaching them.

"Go away," Ranma cried.

"Ranma, I'm not leaving you," the guy insisted.

Ranma turned around. "Akane... how could you do this to me?!"

"I'm sorry. I didn't think this could happen!" Akane retorted.

Ranma collapsed to her knees. "How can you mess this up? I was the groom, and you the bride. I'm supposed to get you pregnant. Can't you even get that straight?"

"Ranma, you didn't object to this before. You could've reminded me that you have periods too. That we should've used protection," Akane pointed out defensively.

Ranma ignored him. "How can you be such a macho chick to get ME pregnant?!"

Akane's fists clenched as he stomped on the ground. "Idiot! I didn't think it was possible!"

"You're the idiot! You got your husband pregnant!" Ranma yelled back.

Akane would've been more upset at Ranma if she didn't look so miserable. The sight of his spouse shivering and curled up into a ball, made him feel terrible. He bent down and hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, Ranma. I'm so sorry. I wish I was the one who got pregnant."

Ranma hugged the guy even tighter, crying, "Akane, how... how could you? How could you be that much of a tomboy?"

The man that Ranma had run into was in a state of shock. Well, he'd been in shock since Nabiki informed him that Ranma and Akane had gotten married. The argument he watched was somewhat familiar to him, but the parts being played didn't seem to fit. The guy played the role of Akane, and the pig-tailed girl was Ranma? "Wha... What sorcery...." he stammered.

Akane looked up and saw Kuno staring at him. "K-Kuno-sempai...."

The man knew of him... Was it his fame... or did Saotome truly dabble in sorcery.... "A-Akane?"

Akane blinked, and then nodded. "Yes, Kuno-sempai, I'm Akane. And she really is Ranma."

"How can this be? That vile cretin to use such horrid magic..." Kuno began his angry rant.

"Kuno-sempai!" Akane interrupted. "I got a hold of some magic and did this to myself. Ranma has nothing to do with the fact I turn into a guy with cold water. I really don't have time to explain everything to you. I need to get my husband back to Dr. Tofu's to discuss his pregnancy." He picked up his spouse, and ran off.

Kuno stood with a blank expression on his face. He could not believe what just happened. Part of him wanted to forget it, to toss it aside as one of Saotome's tricks. Another part decided to hold onto it, because the idea of the man who took away his loves had gotten pregnant was just too good to let go.

-------------------------------------

Dr. Tofu breathed a sigh of relief as Akane carried Ranma into the clinic. "Is Ranma physically all right?" He asked, knowing that his patient wasn't currently of the best mental health.

Akane nodded.

Dr. Tofu guided back into the examining room. He ran a few cursory examinations to check Ranma's feminine health. He then turned his attention to examining Akane. He used what limited knowledge he had on magic to try to determine anything about her spring of drown man curse, but was coming up blank. Studying the chi lines of Akane in her male form troubled Dr. Tofu, they were a bit too stable so soon after receiving a transformational curse.

"What a lovely couple," the Amazon elder said, barely suppressing her amusement with the situation in front of her. Cologne's favorite type of jokes were ironies and the newlywed Saotome couple were shining examples. A girl who hotly denied her tomboy nature had gotten her man amongst men husband pregnant.

"Do ya know how ta fix this mess?" Ranma meekly asked.

"Well, daughter," Cologne began sarcastically. "I'm not a miracle worker, and you two have gotten yourself into a lot of trouble. All I can do is explain the situation."

"So what do we do?" Akane asked.

"You're going to be parents," Cologne replied simply.

"Can't I get an abortion?" Ranma asked.

"Only if you want to stay a girl. Your curse is locked and you'll only be able to change back into a man if you either give birth or miscarriage naturally," Cologne informed.

"There are ways to induce 'natural' miscarriage," Dr. Tofu offered.

"Remember, Doctor, that we are dealing with magic, and magic will often defy logic. A cursed individual who intends to cause a 'natural' miscarriage will still be locked, unless the intent is to stay a girl and then the lock is removed," Cologne intoned. "It's called a curse for a reason."

"So you're saying...." Ranma began to ask.

"You will soon be a mother, Ranma. Congratulations." Cologne grinned.

"Isn't there anything I can do?!" Ranma screamed.

"I'm sorry to say, but there is no other option. Many ancient Amazons and Musk have tried and failed," Cologne told her firmly.

"Y-you're lying! I can't become a mother! I CAN'T!!!" Ranma broke down and cried into her wife's massive male chest.

Akane tried to sooth his pregnant husband, but he really wished he could wake up from this nightmare, especially considering his dreams weren't this weird.

-------------------------------------

To say Ukyou wasn't feeling very well would be an understatement. While she had given up on marrying Ranma, it still hurt watching him get married to Akane. She still couldn't believe how stupid she was in getting drunk at the wedding reception, and then doing... THAT after it.

To top off her emotional pain, she felt like she had the flu.

Ukyou laid in bed, not really wanting to move. She glared at the person who wandered into her room.

Ryoga stammered, "Err... sorry. Trying to find the bathroom."

Ukyou didn't bother to say anything, giving him directions was pointless.

Ryoga was thankful that Ukyou allowed him to stay last night despite what happened between them after the wedding reception. He still hadn't quite come to terms with it. Ryoga noticed the unhealthy color of Ukyou's face. "Ukyou, are you all right?"

"No, I think I got the flu," she muttered.

"Perhaps you should go see a doctor," Ryoga suggested.

Ukyou was about to refuse but the queasiness of her stomach decided to have it's say as she threw up into her trash can. After a moment, she said, "Maybe I should."

Ukyou quickly prepared to leave, and made an appointment with Dr. Tofu.

Ryoga walked with her towards the clinic, using his umbrella to keep both of them dry. As things happen with Jusenkyo curses, a strong gust of wind sent enough water to transform him.

"Bweep," Ryoga cursed.

Ukyou looked at him in disgust. She picked him up and his clothes, but failed to completely lift his umbrella off the ground. "What's this thing made of? It weighs a ton." She didn't feel well enough to fight gravity and gave up using it. She proceeded to walk the rest of the way there.

-------------------------------------

Ranma's crying finally began to subside. She hated feeling this weak, this out of control. But what happened took away everything she once held as important, her manhood. She could almost feel her phantom manliness between her legs, but other feminine parts were real and wouldn't let her forget their existence. Ranma grabbed at what remained of her pride and quipped, "What a great birthday present for you. Surprise, you're going to be a father."

Akane closed her eyes, feeling as if she was just stabbed by her husband. Ranma's birthday had been a week ago and one of the 'presents' was to make her spouse a woman. If she hadn't been so insistent, the girl in her arms wouldn't be pregnant.

"I'll let Dr. Tofu explain what you'll experience during you're pregnancy, but you should know that the lock on the curse won't lift until about a month after you give birth when a specific chemical balance is reached and unlocks it." Cologne turned to Akane. "As for you, it was foolish of you to mess around with such things. The instant packets even carry a warning on the back written in six languages, including Japanese, that it sometimes causes someone to become cursed."

"Sort of missed that," Akane grumbled. "Will it eventually wear off?"

"You'll need waters from spring of drowned girl or your own pool to be cured," Cologne replied.

"Fat chance of that happening any time soon. Jusenkyo ain't going to let you be cured until it's done with you," Ranma muttered out.

The door to the clinic opened and Ukyou entered while holding P-Chan.

Dr. Tofu set a teakettle on the burner before approaching the door. "Ah, Kuonji-san, here already?"

"We're not here," Ranma hissed out.

It was too late as Ukyou entered the examination area. She frowned. "Hello, Ranma, Akane. Why are you both back already?"

Ranma didn't say a word.

Akane shifted uneasily. "It's kind of... complicated... Why are you here?"

"Flu," Ukyou replied simply.

"It would've been better that you stayed home until this weather passes," Dr. Tofu noted.

"I need to run my business. Best to nip any bug before it gets out of hand," Ukyou replied.

The piglet saw a teakettle on a burner and made a jump for it. He landed on the nozzle causing it to flip, launching the still unheated contents over Akane.

"BUKWEEP?!" the piglet's curse summed up everyone's thoughts.

"Did you try to cure Ranma and end up cursed yourself?" Ukyou wondered.

Akane shook her head. "I REALLY don't want to explain how this happened."

Cologne smirked. "Akane got it into her foolish head to make Ranma a woman, and in the process cursed herself and knocked up her husband."

P-chan eyes went wide and promptly passed out.

"Well, shit, Sugar, you asked for that one. Playing around with magic the way Ranma's life works is just asking for trouble," Ukyou groused.

Cologne gazed at the girl and held up a glowing crystal. "While I am sure that you do have the flu, as such symptoms would be too soon, I thought you should know this little gem I brought to confirm Ranma's blessing is reacting to you as well."

Akane and Ranma stared at the okonomiyaki chef.

Ukyou eyes went wide. "What are you saying?"

"You're pregnant as well," Cologne informed.

Ukyou picked up the out of it piglet and tossed him into the air as she proceeded to send him flying through a wall and into the sky with her combat spatula while screaming, "YOU FUCKING JACKASS!"

Author's Note:

This series deals with the one topic that Rumiko-sama said that Rumiko Takahashi didn't want to think about and said that we shouldn't think about it either, a pregnant Ranma. I'm very sorry, but Archive I'm an intellectual pervert. I have thought about it, and felt it would make a very interesting story. I hope this does not offend her nor any fans of the Ranma 1/2 series.
