Chapter 5: A Whirlwind Dilemma
==============================

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

Ranma awoke from his horrifying nightmare. In it,he was female and the
love-slave of that horrible Kunou! He began to weep as Yuffie came in.

"What's wrong,Ranma-kun?" she asked. She then saw him crying and came
up to him. "Hey,Ranma,what's wrong?"

"I...I had a bad dream," sobbed Ranma. "Kunou wanted me as his..." He
hugged her and started to cry in heavy sobs.

"Oh,I see," said Yuffie. She had heard about that disasterous encounter
with Kunou earlier. "Listen,that guy's just a flirt. Do what I do...
hang him from the flagpole." She chuckled. "That makes me feel good."

Ranma pulled away and wiped his eyes. "Really?"

"Yep," said Yuffie. "Whenever I get scared or mad,I pick a fight. It
clears my mind out and makes me feel better. Anyway,you are a ninja
in your female form,ne? Just teleport away or something."

"T-Thanks," said Ranma. He looked around. "You'd better not tell anyone
that I was crying like a girl,or else I'll box your ears."

"Hey,I wouldn't do that," teased Yuffie. "Get some sleep."

As she left,Yuffie wondered why she helped him out. ~Maybe I don't hate
him as much as I thought I do,~ thought the ninja girl. She shrugged.

==+==

The next day,Nabiki saw a little panda doll on Kunou's desk. "Oh,
Kunou baby!" she squealed. "For me? How kawaii!"

"Stupid Nabiki," said Kunou haughtily. "'Tis not for you,but for the
beloved osage no onna. This is a present of love."

Mabiki sighed in mock-sorrow. "Oh well,que sera sera. However,I am
not a messenger of love. I only deal in profitable enterprises."

"So,what does thou have?" asked Kunou eagerly.

"I happen to have a SPECIAL pack," teased Nabiki,showing a new set of
six photos. These photos were of Ranma-chan in various poses. One even
had her dressing! "For you,50000 yen for the pack."

"Ah,such beauty,such grace," said Kunou. "Sold." He handed a wad of yen
to Nabiki,who chuckled evilly as she pocketed it.

"So that means you won't be interested in my sister,eh?" said Nabiki.

"I said no such thing," said Kunou firmly.

Nabiki's eyes sparkled. "Well,back to your normal shipment?" she asked.
She pulled out a handful of photos...photos of Yuffie! She put them on
the desk. The photos were a pack of six,each showing Yuffie in various
poses. One was her in her ninja suit;another was a photo of Yuffie in
the bathtub,relaxing;a third showed her in a swimsuit.

"So beautiful,yet so corrupt," said Kunou in awe. "How much?"

"You know the prince,Kunou baby," said Nabiki. "30000 yen."

"For such beauty,money is no object," said Kunou,handing over the yen.
"Is there any way I can talk to this beautiful girl?"

"She is in Yuffie's class," said Nabiki,a plan forming in her mind.

==+==

Ranma was in his classroom with Yuffie. Nabiki poked her head in.

"Hey,Ranma baby,Kunou wants to see you," she said.

"Another fight!" said Ranma eagerly. "Good,I'll beat the bastard up!"
He went outside. Yuffie saw Nabiki with a gleam in her eyes and decided
to follow,not liking what her sister was up to.

==+==

Ranma came outside to find Kunou. "Okay,Kunou,let's fight!"

Kunou seethed in anger. "The words of Tendo Nabiki..." he hissed.
"'If thou wishes to see Osage no Onna,give thy gifts to Ranma.'"
He pulled out the doll and shoved it into Ranma's arms.

Ranma was shocked,as was Yuffie,who was near a statue. Ranma tossed
the doll down. "Look," snarled Ranma. "Just give this stupid obsession
up,you bastard! Osage no onna and I are the same person!"

"I do not believe thee!" shouted Kunou in anger. "Thou hast bound the
pigtailed girl and Yuffie to thy evil magic! But I will smite thee and
bring freedom to both,and then I will be worshipped by both!"

Yuffie rolled her eyes. ~The little snob!~

"You are so dumb,your head could be used as a paperweight!" shouted
Ranma. "If you kill me,you kill your 'osage no onna!' I'm both of them!"

Just then,Nabiki splashed Ranma with cold water. The boy was gone.

"COWARD!" bellowed Kunou. "COME OUT AND FIGHT!" He slashed apart a
nearby tree and out tumbled Ranma-chan.

"Oh no..." moaned Ranma-chan,trying to escape,but Kunou saw her and
engulfed her in an embrace. "Hey,leggo! I'm a GUY!"

"Precious pigtail girl," cooed Kunou,seconds before a splash of hot
water from Nabiki changed Ranma back.

"Oh Kunou baby..." said Ranma. "TIME TO WAKE UP!!" He sent the kendoist
flying. A few of the photos flew from Kunou's robes and hit the ground.

"Smell the coffee,Kunou baby," said Nabiki. "Cold water makes him a 
girl. Hot water makes him a guy. It's a curse from Jusenkyo."

"Hmm..." said Kunou as he recovered. "Now I see..."

Yuffie was amazed. ~Is this it? Can he realize the truth?~

"That wretched wizard Saotome has enspelled the love of my life to be
imprisoned into his body by this evil Jusenkyo spell!" roared Kunou.
"I,the Blue Thunder,will release her from this magic!"

Yuffie smacked her head on the statue. "I knew it. He's got to be the
DUMBEST,MOST DENSE person on the face of the Earth!"

"THAT DOES IT!" screamed Ranma. "Come on,fight me!"

"Fair enough,evil sorcerer," snarled Kunou. "PREPARE YOURSELF! RAH!!"
He slashed at Ranma,who rapidly dodged away. The two exchanged blows
until Ranma spotted one of the pictures. He picked it up.

"What the..." he said in horror. ~That son of a...~

"AN OPENING!" cried Kunou,slashing at him and nicking his cheek!

"NO!" cried Yuffie in horror,seeing that Ranma was grabbing the photos.
"Fight,you moron! Don't just let him hit you!"

"NOW! SANZENIN BOKKEN STRIKE!!" screamed Kunou,shouting cries as he
lashed a thousand times with the bokken. Yuffie screamed as the statue
began to crack and crumble under the sheer force,but Ranma simply went
and parried the attacks with one hand as he was grabbing the photos.

"Kuso...kuso...kuso..." said Ranma as he snagged photos.

Yuffie couldn't stand it anymore. ~I have to do something!~ She came out
and slammed her fist to the ground. "LANDSCAPER!!"

Kunou was sent flying by the sheer power of the tremor that shook the
courtyard. He crashed into the fence and was tangled up in the chains.

"Foul Saotome...thou hast only beaten me...once..." moaned Kunou before
he blacked out. Ranma snapped back to reality.

"Who...did...this?!" he gasped,looking around wildly.

Yuffie came up. "Are you okay,Ranma-kun?" she asked.

Ranma thrust a photo in her face. "Look! Look at this!"

Yuffie gasped in horror as she saw the picture...a picture of her in
the bathtub. She grew infuriated as her eyes glowed. "You...you..."
She held her hands together. "HEN...TAI!!! ALL......"

"No! NO! WAIT!" cried Ranma,showing a photo of his female form.

Too late.

"...CREATION!!!" screeched Yuffie as the massive dome of chi energy
formed before Yuffie and exploded into a column of light that devoured
Ranma's scared form. In seconds,he was on the ground,terribly burnt.

Nabiki ran over. "Oh Kami-sama,what did you do,sis?!"

Yuffie was stunned and horrified. "I...I killed him! Oh my god!" She
ran over and shook him. "RANMA! RANMA! DON'T DIE ON ME!"

Ranma moaned as if to indicate that he was okay. Yuffie let out a sigh.
She then noticed the pictures of Ranma-chan. "Hey...who did..."

"I admit it," said Nabiki,hands out. "I took the photos."

In a flash,Yuffie had her older sister by the collar. "How dare you!
I trusted you,and yet you betrayed me by this...PORN!"

"Hey,I had to keep you from going off on your nightly romps!" said
Nabiki in fear. "The only way I could make enough money to save our
dojo was to sell something,and you were IT!"

Yuffie held up a photo,a look of rage on her face. "You see this?"
she hissed. The photo exploded into white flames. Yuffie then threw
Nabiki down. "That'll be your HEAD next time I see this again! If
you had to do something,you should have had the deceny to ask,BITCH!"

She then broke down into teas as she picked up Ranma's form and lugged
it over her shoulder,sprinting off in the direction of Dr. Tofu's.

Nabiki got up and shook her head. ~What have I done,sister?~
