Chapter Description: Ranma's become a little girl.

---

The next morning Kasumi woke up bright and early figuring it’d be another pleasant, normal morning in the Tendo compound. She hopped down the steps two at a time, her diaper weighing a little heavy. She was planning to go in to the kitchen to get her mother to change her when she heard the grunts and yelling from the backyard.

"Ranma?" She said a little softly, groggily. Worried for only a moment the wish had been undone, then in a flash the previous days events came back to her.

She walked out onto the porch and watched the two Saotomes attempted to beat the living crap out of each other. The dirty tatics employed by Genma made her wonder how she’d managed to fool Ranma the other day. ’Well, I mean, who’d think -Kasumi- of all people was trying to trick someone.’ She giggled a little to herself. It was

-anything goes- so a little dishonesty didn’t count.

"There you are Kasumi." Kimiko Tendo said as she joined her daughter on the porch. "Quite impressive aren’t they? I think they’ve been going for over an hour now."

"I’ve got a long way to go..." Kasumi said, both impressed with their skill and yet humbled imeansly as the seemed to float through the air and collide in giant flurries.

"You’re also half his age." Kimiko said poking her lightly in the ribs. "Come on let’s go get you changed." Kasumi nodded and Kimiko turned to the men "YOu two, breakfast’s almost ready!"

"Thank you Kimiko-san!" Genma said grabbing Ranma’s shirt and tossing him into the koi pond with a loud splash.

Kasumi followed her mother into the laundry room. Kimiko pulled out a fresh diaper from the package she kept down there while Kasumi removed her pj bottoms. Kimiko picked her daughter up and set her on the counter. Kasumi shivered slightly as her bare legs came into contact with the cold linoleium of the counter.

"Well you’re pretty wet huh?" Kimiko said cheerily as Kasumi blushed a little. Kimiko untaped the diaper before realizing she’d forgotten the wipes. She went to the other side of the room to grab the wipes when the door to the laundry room slammed open with surprising thud

"Ms. Tendo, sorry but.." Ranma’s voice sounded as Kasumi eyes went wide in shock. She frantically looked down to find her mother had at least left the diaper covering her. Ranma eyes followed her gaze before he gasped and ran out the door closing it behind him.

"I am so, so sorry!" He called through the door. "I...I just, I mean my clothes. Dad threw me in the koi pond." He’d already fixed his curse with the teakettle, but his favorite outfit was covered with...whatever fish do in a pond.

"It’s my fault." Kimiko said opening the door and stepping outside. "I never mentioned I changed her here in the mornings. It’s okay, just a little mistake. Leave your clothes on the floor, I’ll throw them in the wash when I’m done."

"Thanks Ms. Tendo, I’m really sorry." He added

"No harm no foul. Now you know." Kimiko said and went back to attend to her daughter. Ranma’s feet went quickly as he headed up the steps.

"You okay honey?" Kimiko asked her daughter.

"Well it’s not like he saw anything." Kasumi said still a little upset. "But talk about an embarrassing position to see someone in. Geeze."

"I could put a note on the door that says ’changing in progress’" Kimiko said, letting out a little laugh.

"That would be -way- worse!" Kasumi said indignantly but her mother’s cheerfullness caught on and she decided to let it go. Besides, that was the nice thing to do anyway, it was obviously it had been an accident. Ranma’s fate seemed to throw him into as many inappropriate situations as possible. Her mother finished changing her and told her to get her sister’s for breakfast.

Breakfast was pretty subdued at first. Ranma wasn’t being his vibrant, usual self because he was still feeling guilty from the prior event. Nabiki and Akane could only be described as sleepy since Kasumi had actually had to wake them up. The were often like this on Mondays. The adults were just happy to have a quiet meal for once.

"Oh Ranma. I’ve got news for you." Genma said breaking the silence. "We’re sending you to school."

"No thanks!" Ranma said waving it off. "I’ve got enough problems. Besides what does a martial artist need with education."

"Soun’s got a degree in sport’s medicine." Kimiko said politely, "It makes the dojo seem more respectible, and he can take care of mishaps. Even your father is a high school graduate."

"What do you mean -even- me, Kimiko?" Genma said slightly offended. "Still, she’s right boy, your education is important."

"Come on old man. I don’t know anyone in the area, we’re probably gonna be on the move in other week or so anyway. Why bother?" Ranma said, drinking his miso. He had no interest in school right now. Still he knew that look his father gave him. It was gonna be a tough fight.

"Ranma, I told you, we’re staying here. The training trip’s over. You’ve become a fine martial artist. Now you need to focus on other aspects, while fine-tuning your art." Genma replied, a bit of pride in his voice. "Besides, you’ll know people at school."

"Who?" Ranma asked exasperated.

"Well, the Tendos’ daughters for one."

"How on earth does that work. I’m in -high school- for one and..." Suddenly it dawned on him what his father might be planning. "No you freaking don’t- old man. I don’t care about the curse you are not sending me to elementary school again!"

"Hahahah!" Genma slapped his knee as he laughed. "Okay, I know it sounds unfair, but in all seriousness, it’s a good idea."

"You’ve got less than a minute to explain." Ranma said holding his fist trying to contain his fit of rage at the old man ripping on his curse.

"You’re grades are abysmal son." Genma said quickly. "I don’t blame you for it. I know I encouraged you in the art and not in scholastics, but nows your chance."

"How so?" Ranma asked, calming down slightly.

"Well, even if it was hard the first time around. Think how easy it would be now! You could get A’s without trying. Get into a great junior high and high school and then switch genders back when the aging goes back to normal. All the rewards of hard studying with only half the effort!"

Ranma thought on this for a second. It was just like his father to think of a good way to beat the system. It hurt him that his father was right. He’d be ten years older than all the other college entrants and no one would be the wiser. Hell, if he really tried he might be able to get into Tokyo U. Well, maybe not, but the idea was insane.

"Okay- I’ll do this. One rule- No jokes." Ranma said finally.

"I’d never make fun of my..." Ranma glared as Genma spoke. "Fine, no jokes- only about the school thing though.

"Well now that that’s settled." Kimiko said "Perhaps you could lend your fiancee some school clothes Kasumi? I think his girl form is about your size."

"Sure." Kasumi smiled, ’I get to play dress up with Ranma’ was what was actually going through her mind.

"Wait, I can’t go today." Ranma interjected "I mean how are we going to get all the records changed? Did you ever think of that pops?"

"I already did the dirty work." Genma said proudly. "You’re already enrolled."

"I knew you were up to no good yesterday!" Ranma replied, "Going to take a walk in the park my butt."

"Well either way it’s all settled. Go up and get changed with Kasumi or you’ll make my daughter’s late." Kimiko added and Ranma nodded.

He paused in the bathroom for a moment to splash himself, then bundling up his secondary outfit (his favorite one being in the wash) he followed Kasumi to her room.

"Thanks for lending me some clothes." Ranma said as they look in the closet.

"No problem. Oh I have some panties in the top drawer of the dresser." Kasumi said picking out a dress for herself. She doubted she could get Ranma into one.

"Why would I need panties?" Ranma said disgusted.

"Well I don’t have any boy underwear, and it’s not like I wear those anymore. Besides you’ll chaff if you don’t."

"Chaff?" Ranma asked "I’ll take my chances going commando." The now female Ranma said pulling on a plain pair of jeans. The shirts were still bad. Finally he settled only a relatively plain on that had the name of the Tendo dojo on it. All the other’s seemed to be covering in some minor form of either glitter or cute animals.

Kasumi sighed and pulled on a light green dress smoothing it out carefully before twirling in it a little. It was one of her favorites. She went over to her mirror to brush out her hair before they left.

"Kawaii." Ranma said as she twirled in the dress.

"You think so." Kasumi said, smiling at him. She sat down in front of the mirror her diaper crinkling barely audible. She was lucky classrooms were so noisy.

"It suits you." He replied "Anyway, thanks for loaning me some clothes. How long do we have before we have to take off?"

Kasumi looked over to the little kitty clock she kept above her bed. "Hmm, about ten minutes."

"Okay, well, I’ll see you outside then." Ranma said still adjusting the pants a little. They weren’t tight or anything, but girls clothes fit a bit more snugly than boys.

"Bye girls!" Kimiko called as her daughter left the outer gate. Akane waved happily and Kasumi and Nabiki followed in suit though a bit more subdued. They were going to school afterall.

"You’ll like our school Ranma!" Akane said cheerily. "It’s lotsa fun."

"She only says that because she’s still in first grade." Nabiki said

"Its not that bad Nabiki." Kasumi added, "Still it is school. Don’t expect to much."

"Whatever." Ranma sighed, "I’m sure it’ll be fine. Just remember no one mentions my curse okay?"

"Mommy already gave us a speech about it." Nabiki said, "Don’t worry"

Ranma continued to walk with the girls. Reflecting on how much his life was changing. At least Kasumi was nice enough, and a great practioner of the art for her age. These pants were a little tight though. As they rubbing against his- well, now her more sensative parts Ranma was finding it a little uncomfortable. ’Should’ve listen to Kasumi’ part of his mind chidded, the other side simply answered with ’NO PANTIES, we’re a MAN!’

Kasumi was in a pretty good mood however. She felt a little bad for Ranma, but it would be fun having someone in the same class. Her mom had told her on the way out that Saotome-san had already fixed it so he was in her room. It was funny thinking that the little girl walking beside her was the tough confident Ranma Saotome.

She also noticed his discomfort as he tried to move the inseam of the jeans around. Well it wasn’t like she hadn’t warned him. They made underwear for a reason afterall. She absently patted her diaper under her dress smiling secretly to herself. At least she didn’t need underwear anymore. Plus her mother had said they’d be getting some cloth diapers for home soon. That held a special place, since the first time around she was sure she’d only worn cloth. Disposables hadn’t caught on yet in the sevenities.

The school came into view and Kasumi saw Ranma gulp visibly. It would probably be the first time he tried to pretend to actually be a little girl before. Plus the consquences if his curse was exposed. She’d be a bit worried herself if she was in his position.

"Hey, what do you do for gym class?" Ranma asked, suddenly realizing he’d never thought about that before.

"Easy," Kasumi replied. " I pull my bloomers on under the dress them put the gym shirt on quickly. The diapers aren’t that thick and the official rules don’t say you -have- to tuck your shirt in, so it’s almost as hard to notice as when I wear a dress as long as I leave the shirt untucked."

"Not a bad plan." Ranma said a little impressed. "Oh shoot, on that note- I forgot to ask dad about gym clothes."

"I’ve got an extra set." Kasumi replied, "Plus you don’t even have a locker yet."

With that they headed up to Kasumi’s class 4-B. Ranma was introduced by the teacher, which was a bit odd. Trying to explain why a father would take his daughter to China for martial arts training. Then again if they wanted proof of his skill he’d never minded showing off before. By the time he sat in his chair and the teacher began the morning lecture the whole class had already pegged him as the biggest tomboy ever.

"Well the class was missing a tomboy since Kasumi started wearing dresses." He heard one of the boys whisper behind him.

"Dude, she’s living with Kasumi. Want them both to kick our asses?" A second boy whispered back.

"I’m not afraid of girls, Hiroshi." The first boy answered back.

"That’s cause you haven’t fought Kasumi yet." Hiroshi answered.

Ranma just smirked. It sounded like Kasumi may not be quite the good girl she appeared to be at home. Well, that was okay, spunk could be cute as long as the girl didn’t go overboard. He laughed to himself lightly as he heard the line about her starting to wear dresses. They probably never suspected what he figured was the most probable reason.

The teacher’s lecture was absolutely boring. However the homework that was assigned or passed out was incredibly easy, so it all kind of evened out. Ranma had stopped paying attention to teacher awhile ago and was finishing the last worksheet handed out. At least if he did it in class, it’d be done. He’d never bothered to do school work at home before.

"Saotome, what’s 3/4ths plus 5/8ths?" The teacher said to the new student. First day and the kid was already focusing on something else. A bad sign.

"One and three eighths." Ranma called back without even looking up from the paper. He finished the last problem and put it into his desk.

"Good job, didn’t think you were paying attention Satome." The teacher said a little surprised. I mean it wasn’t a hard question, but it was new material for the fourth grade.

Kasumi smiled to herself as she saw Ranma was having about as much fun in class as she was. Well, at least her new fiancee might make something of his education the first time around.

Kasumi decided she needed to go a little bit and looked up at the clock. It was only ten minutes to recess so she wet her diaper. She knew it was a little risky, but she liked to wear it a little before she got changed. Besides, if she could smell it she’d ask to be excused before anyone else noticed.

The last ten minutes were quite pleasant sitting in a warm diaper, enjoying the feeling and pretending to be paying attention to the sensei.

After the bell rang the class headed out for the morning recess. Her friends knew she liked to spend the morning break reading by now, so they took off with the rest of the class leaving only her and Ranma.

"Whatcha doing Kasumi?" Ranma said leaning on her desk. "Well, you looked as bored as I was."

Kasumi beckoned him closer and Ranma leaned down. "I get changed at first break, but I pretend to be in here reading." She said. Now that everyone but Ranma and her was gone she put her book back in the desk and headed to the nurse’s room.

"Mind if I join you?" Ranma asked, following her down the hall.

"What like this morning?" Kasumi asked, Ranma imediately blushed.

"Look, I said I was sorry. Not like I saw anything. I just don’t know anyone, you know, I figured it was easier to hang around you. If you don’t mind." Ranma replied sheepishly. He hated to admit he was rather socially inept. Making new friends was not really his forte. Enemies, now that is something he could handle.

"I don’t mind if you hang out with me." Kasumi said smiling. Ranma followed her down to the nurse’s office. "Look, I’ll just be a second."

"Sure," He noticed the bathroom across the hall. "Actually, I’ll go as well, meet out here in a sec?" Kasumi nodded and headed into the nurse’s office

"Morning Kasumi." Takeshi-san said as Kasumi walked in "The usual?"

Kasumi nodded and laid down on the bed while Takeshi pulled out a fresh diaper and some wipes.

"I heard someone out there with you. Does she know?" The nurse asked untaping the diaper and lifting Kasumi’s legs in the air

"Yeah, she lives with us. She’s daddy’s friend’s daughter."

"Ohh, your mother told me she had some guests. She said they had a son."

"Long story," Kasumi said.

Ranma walked into the little girls room a little apprenhensively. It just felt sort of wrong. Still, it would be much worse to be seem in the boys room. Luckily no one was in her. He took the first stall, pulling to jeans around her ankles and sitting on the seat. At least the school had western style toilets. Peeing as a guy wasn’t so bad in the normal ones, but he sucked at squatting as a girl. Generally half the piss ended up on his clothes.

As the flow subsided he wiped himself gingerly, finding the skin down there was irritated. Generally he tried to stay as far away from his girl parts as possible anyway. "Sheesh" He mumbled to himself, "Looser jeans...or maybe panties."

The thought was abohorent but it he could tell it might be a little painful by the end of the day. Not only painful, but it only served to force upon him what gender he currently was. Even worse, what if it transferred back to his male side.

"Hey Kasumi!" Ranma called as she stepped out of the nurse’s office.

"Don’t bring any attention to us here." She snapped. "People might ask, well, everyone’s probably outside, but still."

Ranma nodded in understanding. Daily trips to the nurse’s office were bound to bring up questions. They walked back to the classroom and Kasumi pulled her book out.

"Are you going to just read?" Ranma asked, a little bored at the prospect.

"Naw, but it needs to be were it was before." Kasumi said "So, what do you think of school so far?"

"The materials boring. It’s kinda fun pretending to be a kid again though. Not that you’d really understand, but being older kinda has responsibilites." He said wistfully.

Kasumi thought how funny it was that she understood better than he did. Either way, he was being pretty nice. It was fun to be able to hang out with someone at school who knew her secret.

The next class was gym so Kasumi and Ranma headed down to the locker room before recess ended. It’d be easier to set Ranma up with a locker that way anyway. The P.E. teacher was sitting reading the paper in the cage where they kept equipment. She gave Ranma a free locker and the combo before settling down to read what else she could before the recess period was over.

Ranma heard the bell ring as Kasumi opened her locker and handed Ranma her extra set of clothes. Ranma sighed and started to pull off his jeans when he made a startling realization. He wasn’t wearing anything under them.

Well, none of the other kids were in yet so he quickly shirked off the jeans and pulled the bloomers on. They were just as tight and almost more uncomfortable than what he had been wearing.

"Told you you should have worn panties." Kasumi laughed sightly as Ranma looked at a wall mirror. The stupid bloomers clung to his ass and it was rather obvious he wasn’t wearing panties.

"Kami-sama." Ranma said, as he laughed slightly. Well, no reason to be embarrassed it wasn’t his body afterall. He followed Kasumi’s idea and let the oversized shirt cover his girl body. No reason to be more embarrassed than he had to be.

Physical education itself went over without a hitch and Ranma managed to change in a stall after class. Kasumi was ribbing him slighly about it, but quietly enough that no one overheard. As they left the locker room Takeshi-san was walking down the hall towards them.

"Takeshi-san, this is Ranma." Kasumi said as she walked closer.

"Oh, nice to meet you Ranma, you must be Satome’s so..child." She said bowing slightly in sink with Ranma. "Actually, I was here to get you Kasumi. The thing is..."

Ranma watched as Takeshi whispered to Kasumi for a few moments with Kasumi nodding. They suddenly took off with Kasumi giving Ranma a signal to follow them.

"What happened?" Ranma asked concerned

"Nothing big," Kasumi answered, "Mom’s not home right now though and dad’s has his morning classes. So, I get to handle it."

"What?" Ranma asked, but the response didn’t matter as they arrived at the nurse’s office.

"Uhh hi." Nabiki said in the smallest voice he’d ever heard her use. She sounded like she was on the verge of tears, and considering the redness around her eyes she already had been.

"What happened?" Kasumi asked concerned.

"Well, she must’ve came down with the flu." Takeshi said,

"Well, I felt like I was gonna throw up, so I ran to the bathroom. I kinda hit the wall with most of it, then suddenly I had diarrea..." Nabiki said, "No one saw, I can straight to the nurse’s office."

"Wow, that sucks." Ranma said, Nabiki just nodded.

"Your should take her home, Kasumi. I put her into one of your diapers for now and cleaned her pants the best I could" Takeshi said. The end of the passing period was signalled so Kasumi took Nabiki’s hand and walked her out of the room.

"I don’t feel so good." Nabiki said, breaking from Kasumi’s grasp and running to the bathroom across the hall. Kasumi and Ranma followed in after her.

"What’re we gonna do." Kasumi said as she and Ranma stood outside the stall. "I don’t know if she can walk home. I can call daddy. He might not answer though, since he’ll be in the dojo."

"No worries." Ranma said turning on the hot water tap and pulling to tightly rolled bundles from the bottom of his back pack. He quickly took off the clothes Kasumi loaned him, splashed himself and put on the male ones he’d kept on him just in case.

"Wow, you’re prepared."

"With my curse, you quickly learn to be." He replied, in his male voice. "Nabiki-chan, if you’re done for now open the door. I’ll get you home real quick."

Nabiki opened the door crying softly, Ranma picked her up. She put her head against his shoulder and he headed home with Kasumi walking beside him. Ranma felt rather dependable as he carried the little girl with his fiancee walking beside him.

At least he got out of school the rest of the day. His true form had come in useful as well. Nabiki made him stop about halfway back however before having to throw up again. Ranma felt bad as he silently prayed he didn’t catch the damn thing himself.

Soun went inside the house to have a nice cup of tea. His morning class had been pretty easy, he was glad he’d started it, kept him more awake in the mornings. He called for Kimiko only to remember she’d gone out for the shopping already.

He clicked the message machine, realizing someone must’ve called.

"Hi this is Takeshi, Kimiko you there? Nabiki’s really sick, and had a little accident. I’m sending her home with Kasumi. Okay? Call back soon if you get this."

"Shit!" Soun thought, what bad timing. He went to look for the car keys when he heard the front door slide open.

"We’re back!" Ranma called as took off Nabiki’s shoes then his own.

"Ranma, is Nabiki?" Soun asked stepping into the entryway. "Oh, my poor little girl."

Ranma handed Soun his daughter and Soun hugged her tight.

"Not so tight daddy, my tummy hurts." Nabiki said

"Sorry honey, let’s get you up to bed. Your mother should be home pretty soon." He started to carry her up the stairs. "Thanks Ranma."

"No problem, it seems like she just has the flu." Ranma added, Soun just nodded and carried his daughter up to her room.

"Well, at least that’s handled for now." Ranma said sighing, "Poor kid,"

"Yeah, good thing you were there. It would’ve been hard her having to walk all the way home like that." Kasumi said.

"At least I’m good for something huh?" Ranma laughed. "Okay, well what now? I don’t know about you but I don’t feel like going back to school."

Since there wasn’t much the could do for Nabiki, and they didn’t have any homework, Ranma and Kasumi found themselves around their father’s Go board.

"Wow, you’re really good." Ranma said as the little girl enclosed another of his lines. This was pretty bad, getting beat by a kid.

"Well, I guess I’m a natural." She giggled. She never actually played that much, but after watching hundreds of her father’s games she had the more basic strategies completely done.

"What are you two doing home?" Kimiko asked as she set down the groceries for that night’s dinner. "Skipping school?"

"Nabiki got sick, so Ranma and me brought her home." Kasumi said playing another piece as Ranma developed a sad look on his face. This kid was -crushing- him.

"Nabiki’s sick?" Kimiko said concerned. "Why didn’t Soun get her?"

"It was during his morning classes, he didn’t find out until we were already home." Ranma replied, Kimiko nodded and went up to check on her daughter.

Kasumi finished Ranma off relatively hard. With a score of 22 to negative 3 (Japanese scoring method, this is possible) he was almost to embarrassed to ever play the game again.

"Good game." She said smiling.

"Yeah, I guess. You’re good." He replied, "So what now?"

"Well, daddy’s gonna be busy until classes probably, wanna give me a lesson in Anything Goes?"

"Sure!" Ranma replied, glad to be competent at whatever they were going to be doing. Kasumi and him headed to the dojo. He figured it’d be fun to see just how good this girl was.
