I've been getting so many request for 'back issues' of my fics. I decided to
do some repost. Here is a slightly cleaned up version of Separation anxiety.
Permanent will follow and then the completed 'Spirit within' over the next
week or so. I don't mind getting C&C on these, in fact I'd love it. Send C&C
to Catbert25@aol.com
Enjoy!

Well here is part five of separation anxiety. It is a relitively action free
part but it sets up the Chaos that follows. You won't beleive the mess I make
with this. As for the time line...well does it matter? It is after the Shi Shi
houkou dan/Moukou Takabishi story but before the story where Ranma's mom
discovers his curse.[hint on things to come.]

Separation Anxiety part five: my life as a girl.

Ranma looked out the window in frustrated thought. Below her in the Yard
Ranma-kun and Genma sparred in their usuall routine. As usuall it ended with
both of them in the pond. Ranma rose from the water with a huge grin on his
face. Genma growfed his displeasure and the two wandered into the home for the
morning meal. Ranma-chan sighed and went down to join them.

"Oh good morning Ranko." said Kasumi sweetly as Ranma-chan walked down the
stairs. Ranma stopped and staired at her.
"No." she said.
Kasumi starteled a little said. "What?"
"I said no." said Ranma.
"Whats wrong with you?" said Akane angrily.
"You will call me Ranma." said Ranma-chan Just as angrily.
"They can't call both of us Ranma." said Ranma looking at her strangely as
she sat at the table.
Ranma-chan idly blocked Ranma's speedy attempts to pirate food from her plate
as she had done for days. "I'm still faster than you slow poke." she growled
at him stuffing a fishcake in her mouth.
"Ranma he's right." said Nabiki.
"Let him change *his* name. You've taken every thing else, you can't take my
name." said Ranma looking directly at Akane as she said this silencing
everyone at the table.
"R-Ranma?..." whispered Akane.
"Call me Onna-Ranma if you have to but I refuse to give up my name." said
Ranma coolly.
Nabiki saw her father was fast approaching tears and quickly changed the
subject.
"So what do you two intend to do about school? Breaks over you know." she
asked casually.
Both Ranma's went "Urk."

Ranma walked along the fence with Ran-chan. [Ran-chan was the final
compromise they set upon and was only to be used if nessesary. i.e. School, or
when both Ranma's were around.] Ranchan had her hair tied back and slung over
her shoulder in a Kasumi style hairdoo and was wearing a pair of glasses and a
girls uniform.
"Why are you wearing that stuff?" asked Ranma in a disgusted voice. "You
think I want Kuno to recognise me? I had enough trouble with him when I could
change back into a man." she asked looking at Ranma.
"So what do we tell every one?" asked Ranma-kun.
"We tell them ,we are cousins, or siblings mabey." said Ranma smacking her
palm with her fist as if she just had an idea.
Akane stopped and looked at Ranma who was confused. "You don't know what a
sibling is do you?" she asked.
"So?" said Ranchan. "It means your his sister." said Akane.
"We'll go with that since its pretty close to the truth." said Ranma smiling.
Ranchan looked at Furinkan as they drew closer to it. "We can say I was living
with mom." Ramchan commented.
"We'll talk to Nabbiki when we get to school." said Akane Both Ranma's
groaned and pulled out their wallets.
"Jerks." grumbled Akane.

They charged into the gates of Furinkan and batted aside Kuno as he spouted
about Ranma releasing his loves. Everyone staired at the new comer. "What are
you doing?!" whispered Akane angrily at Ranchan.
"OOPS. old habbit." she whispered back flustered.
"Who is that?" said one voice.
"She just decked Kuno!" said another.
Ranchan stood and in the typical Saotome family witt she said,
"uuh...ummm...{lots of sweating} ...uhh ...keep your hands off my ...brother?"
The masses of Furinkan acted true to form instantly accepting the girls
excuse.

"Ranma has a sister?" said Daisuke.
"That rotten liar he said he didn't when we asked him." replied Hiroshi.
"Well its true." said Sayuri.
"I think he just didn't want perverts like you drooling on her." said Yuka.
Ranchan sat in the back of the class away from the boys who seemed to swarm
around her like flies. "So your Ranma's sister?" Asked one of the girls.
"Uh yea." said Ranma nervously.
"Ranma has a sister?" said a familiar voice from behind him.
"Ukyo." thought Ranma now as nervous as ever.

Ranma exsplained the story to his freinds that Nabiki had supplied to the
family, for a small fee. "She lived with our mom until pop and I got rid of
our curses. After that we went home and picked her up so she could learn the
family school." repeated Ranma.
"Your mom didn't know you were cursed?" asked Daisuke.
"Nope." said Ranma.
"Because you would have had to commit seppuku because of this thing your dad
did?" said Hiroshi still in wonder.
"That about summs it up." said Ranma.
"Wow she looks like you alright." said Daisuke.
"Ranma...you have to introduce us to her!" said Hiroshi.
"Yea!" agreed Daisuke. "you owe us for that time you lied about not having a
sister." Ranma fell on his face.

Ranchan finished her Identical story and looked at the girls who looked at
her softly."thats so sad Ranchan!" said one of the girls.
"That Mr. Saotome is such a jerk." said another.
"How can he be such a moron? First that thing with Ukyo and now this!" agreed
another.
Ranchan blushed. "Ranma never told me about a sister." said Ukyo sitting
next to her.
"You and I need to have a little talk after school." said Ukyo. "I mean he
and I." she said winking at her.
"She knows!" thought Ranma as Ukyo introduced herself to Ranchan seemingly
for apperances sake.

A short time later Kuno stood in the hall next to Ranchan who was nervously
trying to edge away. "So you have escaped the foul sorcerer Saotome and fled
to me in disguise my love!" he said taking her by the shoulder.
Ranma sighed and put her fist through his chin. "Damn my disguise didn't
work." she thought as she walked away from the unconcious Kendoist. She walked
into the ladies room and emerged a short time later with her usuall Chinese
clothes but kept the glasses and the hairdoo. "I can't very well look like him
and I don't have to worry about being turned into a boy with my hair this
way." she paled even as the phrase. "I don't have to worry about turning into
a boy." ran through her head.
"Tis a sad day when such beauty is marred by such a face." said Kuno snapping
her out of his trance "Come let us retire to..." Kuno's teeth met the roof of
his mouth as Ranchan slugged him again.
"Jerk."she said "Thanks Kuno I needed that." she thought as she walked to her
next class.

Ranma walked out of P.E. with Akane next to her. It had been one of the more
humiliating moments in her life. She had to pretend to be a shy little girl
durring the shower and changing. She stopped and laughed a little. Akane
looked at her but said nothing. "I am just a shy little girl now aren't I?"
she thought bitterly. Still she did rather enjoy showing off in front of evry
one who had exspected to see Ranma's clumsy little sister falling to the
ground durring class.
"Boy you are Ranma's sister." said Sayuri as she walked up to them. "I had
no Idea you did gymnastics." Yuka said sounding impressed.
"I don't that was Karate." said Ranma blushing under the attention of the
girls.
"You do martial arts too?" asked Sayuri.
"My whole family does." Said Ranma.
"You just looked so graceful." said Yuka.
"Yea, are you sure that wasn't Gymnastics?" added Sayuri. "Positive." beamed
Ranma.
"I think I'm getting her out of her little shell." said Sayuri to Akane
quietly.
Akane smiled "I hope so." she said quietly.

A short time later Ukyo looked at Ranchan carefully. "You really are Ranma,
you can't fool me." she said looking her dead in the face. "I suspect there is
more to this 'cure' than your letting on." she added.
Ranma sighed and looked at her. "We were going to tell you Ucchan, really."
said Ranma looking guilty.
"It isn't exactly a cure. We got separated." said Ranma. Ukyo turned to see
Ranma standing behind them.
"Whats going on here Ran-chan?" she asked.
Both Ranma's sighed in unison and began their story.

Ryoga looked at the area around him, he was in some sort of woods no where
near Nerima. "Where am I?" he asked.
"Where you need to be." said an elderly voice. Ryoga spun around ready for an
attack.
"Relax boy I came to help you. I can help you defeat Ranma." The elderly
Japanese woman before her said with a smile.
"What?" said Ryoga looking at her oddly. He had learned that when someone
like this appeared he had better listen.
"Tell me why is it you lose when you fight with him?" she said still smiling.
"Because he fights dirty thats how come!" said Ryoga angrily instantly aware
of who she meant.
"No, that is not why. But with this you can easily defeat him with your
strength." she held out a small jewl embedded in a small metal figure of a man
the jewel itself almost looked like it was made from blood. "Wear it around
your neck when you next fight him and he will be defeated." she cackled.
"Why are you helping me?" asked Ryoga warrily.
"I have an old grudge with Cologne. The defeat of her chosen heir's groom
will leave a heavy blow on her pride." said the thing. "Remember this boy keep
the jewel hidden and tell no one of its existence or how you came across it."
she said with a warning stare.
"All right, you have a deal." said Ryoga takeing the jewl from her hands.
"Which way is Nerima?" he asked her. She pointed in the opposite direction.
"Thanks." said Ryoga as he walked away. "I don't need this to beat Ranma." he
growled pocketing the jewel.
