Ch.1
Aizen snarled as he was subdued by Yamamoto's personal guards and pushed to his knees before the corrupt Soul Society leader, Yamamoto smirked evilly and then hit a pressure point on Aizen's chest. The General Captain then looked the cursed springs they were near and selected one at random as he read the sign. He motioned for Aizen to be brought over and then once Aizen was in front of him and his back to the spring, he shoved Aizen into the pool and left quickly. Aizen struggled to the surface as he felt his body change drastically from a human's, he broke the surface after what seemed like an eternity and crawled on the bank as he coughed and took in deep breaths of air. He laid there exhausted then tried to stand but he was trapped on all fours…he looked at his new paws in shock then twisted to look at his body, he let out a whine as his eyes took in the chocolate brown and white fur covering him and the fluffy husky tail on his backside. He realized that the pressure point may have done something to him as he stood and carefully picked his way through the springs to the hut he saw outside the springs.
The guide was coming out for his usual rounds when he saw the shivering half grown dog coming from the direction of the springs, the guide called to him and the dog looked up and wagged its tail happily as it broke into a run. The dog stopped at the guide's feet and whined as it pawed the hot water thermos attached to his belt. Aizen watched as the guide removed the lid and gently poured the scalding water over him causing him to yelp in pain and back up from the man who looked confused as he said in Chinese "Sir, the water was lukewarm water…"
Aizen paled under his fur at that and a small whine escaped his mouth before he could stop it. The guide then thought of something and asked if the dog had been poked in the chest area on a pressure point, Aizen nodded as the guide sighed and told him that there was nothing he could do for the former shingami because of the pressure point. Aizen looked at him in confusion as the guide then explained what the pressure point had done to him; Aizen's eyes widen as he now knew what Yamamoto had done to him and howled in despair at being trapped in his new form. The guide sadly smiled at the Husky as his tail tucked between his legs and the ears went flat in sadness, he told the dog that he didn't have the cure for his problem but knew a village that might. Aizen's ears perked up at that as the guide motioned for him to follow him, Aizen trotted at his side when two teens appeared with a fat bald man in karate gi. The man looked at them then spoke in broken Japanese as he greeted them, the boy was looking at the springs with mistrust while the girl was listening to the guide when the fat man then jumped on one of the poles in one of the springs.
Ranma and Tsuki sighed at Genma's stupidity as he told Ranma to spar with him on the poles, Tsuki sighed as Ranma declined only for Genma to call him a coward causing Ranma to growl and look at his lover for permission. Tsuki sighed as she quickly asked the guide about the dangers of the springs in fluent Chinese and was told about the curses of the springs. She thanked him and then walked over to Ranma to tell him what she had learned; Ranma sighed as he hugged her to keep up the appearance of a sibling bond in front of his father and thanked her for the warning. Genma then did something that made Ranma see red as the man called Tsuki a weak link, Genma was then kicked into a spring as Ranma landed on a pole. He growled as he made to get off the pole when he dodged a panda in his father's gi that jumped out of the spring. Ranma cursed as he dodged the panda and then tried making his way to the safe side of the springs when he was kicked into a spring by Genma who pulled a dirty trick. Ranma surfaced as he felt different and looked down to see that he now sported a pair of breasts, he quickly examined himself and snarled at his father who looked shocked and dismayed.
Tsuki blinked at her boyfriend's gender change then hurried over to help Ranma out of the spring; Genma then grabbed her before she could reach Ranma and threw her towards a random spring! Tsuki quickly acted and grabbed the pole before she fell in as Ranma beat the crap out of his father then came over to help Tsuki. Tsuki reached for Ranma's hand when the pole snapped and she missed his hand as she fell into the spring, Ranma yelled for her in concern as she hadn't surfaced yet as the guide said "Young miss fall in spring of drowned snow leopard demon! Tale says Snow Leopard demon drown in spring 400 years ago, now who ever fall in spring take form of snow leopard demon."
Aizen then noticed her surface and barked to alert the others, Tsuki was floating as she had passed out and the guide quickly grabbed her shirt to pull her in. Aizen whined in concern as Ranma easily lifted her and headed towards the hut with Aizen and the guide following, Genma was tied up and knocked out as they passed him and Aizen glared at the man who had thrown the girl for no reason. Aizen waked inside with Ranma and the guide as Ranma laid her on the bed then looked at the changes his lover/best friend had gone through. Tsuki's once raven wing black hair was silky smooth silver with black tips and her ears were those of a snow leopard, she had a snow leopard's tail and Ranma could see claws on her hands plus hints of sharp dainty fangs poking out of her mouth. He smoothed her hair out of her face as Aizen and the guide watched the interaction between the two. Ranma growled as "she" asked how to return to normal for the moment, the guide passed her a cup of hot water and Ranma gently splashed herself as she felt her body return to normal. He sighed in relief even if it wasn't permanent for now then looked at the dog with the familiar looking human eyes, he tried to remember where he had seen those eyes before when the image of the shingami who saved him and his lover when they were small came to him.
Ranma looked at the dog then asked to confirm his hunch "Aizen-san, is that you?"
The husky's eyes went wide as he nodded and then gave Ranma a questioning look who realized what he was asking, Ranma smiled and then said "You saved me and Tsuki when I was 9 and Tsuki was 8 from a dog like hollow after my father ran away to save his own hide."
Aizen remembered that and his tail wagged happily at meeting someone he knew as he walked over to Ranma, the teen chuckled then scratched behind Aizen's ears causing the trapped shingami's tail to wag even harder. Aizen had to admit the scratching felt nice when they all hear a moan from the bed, he and Ranma were at Tsuki's side in a minute as she slowly woke up. Ranma gasped as she opened her eyes because instead of her emerald eyes, they were a gorgeous golden amber color with cat like pupils. Tsuki moaned in pain as her head hurt like the devil and slowly sat up with Ranma's help, he kissed her softly then pulled away as she asked what happened to her after she fell in the spring water. Ranma winced then asked the guide if there was a mirror she could look into, the guide nodded and told them there was a full body mirror in the other room which Tsuki quickly went to go look in.
"!"
The loud yowl that tore from her throat as she saw her reflection had all of them covering their ears the best they could, Tsuki was in shock at her new look as she did have to admit she looked pretty but she was now afraid she would hurt the ones she loved. Ranma quickly got what she was thinking and hugged her from behind as he whispered she would be fine, she looked at him with a smile as Aizen barked while his tail thumped the ground and Ranma chuckled. He then told her who the dog was and she squealed softly as she hugged Aizen and said "I never got to thank you that day…"
Aizen gently licked her face and Tsuki smiled when she then suddenly realized he must have fallen in a spring, she asked why he wasn't a human and he whined when the guide explained that someone had used the Cat's tongue pressure point on Aizen to trap him in his new form. Tsuki growled at that and then stroked Aizen's head as she said "Ranma…"
Ranma smiled as he got what she meant and smirked as he told her that he deal with his father when the time came for them to leave so that Aizen could come with them. The guide smiled at their kindness towards Aizen then mentioned that the village of Amazons nearby might have a cure for Aizen or know where to find one. Ranma nodded as he yawned gently and the guide showed him and Tsuki to a room where they could sleep in peace, Aizen also yawned and went lay down on the floor when Tsuki scooted closer to Ranma and patted the spot beside her. She told him they wouldn't make him sleep on the floor like he was a real dog causing his tail to wag. He gently jumped on the bed and curled up next to Tsuki, the three of them then quickly fell asleep for the night.
The next morning…
Tsuki walked out after getting dressed from her shower as Aizen waited by the front door with the guide, she asked where Ranma was and the guide told her that he was hunting down Genma who escaped last night. She sighed with a smile then started to count down to zero, Genma came flying out of the trees when she hit zero and Ranma came out after him. She smiled when they all heard a bunch of oinks from one of the pools suddenly, the guide walked over to the pool it was coming from and found a small black piglet with a bandana that Tsuki recognized. She sighed and gently took the piglet from the guide as she politely asked for some water for him, the guide nodded and went back into the hut as she looked down and said "Hello Ryoga…"
10 minutes later…
Ryoga sighed as he now had the whole story of why Ranma had left before they could have their fight and apologized to Ranma for blaming him, Ranma chuckled and told him it was fine as Tsuki smiled at the two. The guide then led them all to the village as they dragged a chained up Genma behind them, they entered the village as a tournament was going on. Tsuki, Ranma, Aizen and Ryoga watched as the guide explained what the village was and that they often had tournaments like this. They suddenly heard yelling as the pretty purple haired girl who won raised a weapon and attacked a…panda. Ranma and Tsuki groaned as Genma managed to get them in trouble again, Tsuki hurried over with Ranma to ask what was wrong when the girl turned on them and yelled something in Chinese. Tsuki took a minute to figure out what she said then replied in Chinese "I'm sorry this happened but my lover's father has a habit of thinking with his stomach and not his head."
The girl blinked then asked what she meant by that when it was a panda, Tsuki explained about what happened yesterday causing the elders who gathered around to growl angrily at Genma's actions towards the two teenagers. One elder spoke up in fluent Japanese and asked "What spring did you two fall into young lady?"
Tsuki suddenly looked nervous as Ranma told them that he fell into spring of drowned girl and that his "Sister" had been thrown into the spring of Drowned Snow Leopard Demon. Tsuki looked at the ground sadly as she heard muttering from the crowd as the elder approached and tilted her head up as she asked what was wrong. Tsuki's lip trembled as Ranma softly told the elder that they had found Tsuki abandoned in the woods by her uncle and at the time she didn't even know her name so he gave the name Tsuki to her because they found her under the light of the full moon. Aizen whined softly and nuzzled Tsuki's hand comfortingly when Ranma remembered why they came to the village, he then asked the elder if they had a cure for someone under the Cat's Tongue pressure point in the village or knew of one.
Cologne looked at the two as she asked who was placed under the pressure point and the husky that was with them stepped forward and barked. She looked at the husky in amusement then told them that they had two special pills that could cure their friend's problem. Tsuki's eyes lit up as she asked why they wanted to help the husky regain its original form, Ranma looked at her and explained about the hollow that attacked them, Genma running away to leave them for the hollow and how Aizen had saved them. Cologne understood at their need to repay Aizen and then asked for her great-granddaughter to run and grab the pill, the purple haired girl nodded and hurried to grab the pill while Cologne offered their guests food and drink.
Aizen was lying next to Tsuki's thigh when the girl returned and handed the pill to Tsuki who gently gave it to Aizen, he barked happily as he was led into a back room by the elder's grandson who poured warm water over Aizen. The change was instant as he became human again but he was completely naked…Aizen blushed as a white Chinese collared shirt trimmed in gold and black martial artist pants were handed to him. He quickly dressed and followed the elder's grandson back into the other room, Ranma and Tsuki's eyes lit up at seeing him as they smiled up at him. Once he sat down, Cologne passed him a cup of strong tea which he thanked her for. Cologne then asked who had placed the pressure point on him and Aizen sighed as he told them that it was a long story, Tsuki smiled beside softly and placed her hand over top his larger one as she said "we have time…Genma will be out of commission for a little while yet."
Aizen sighed and then began his tale about how Yamamoto killed the woman he loved and his one best friend while the other two were banished with their memories altered so they couldn't remember the friendship they had. He then told them how he tried to lead a rebellion against the old man but was taken down by his friend Isshin's son who was tricked into believing that Yamamoto's side was the right side. Tsuki had tears in her eyes as she hugged him and Ranma snarled as he called Yamamoto a few creative names that had the Amazons looking at him in shocked respect, Aizen smiled sadly as he thanked Tsuki from the hug when Cologne sighed and then said "Aizen-san...you must be careful that they don't find out about you being cured of the Cat's Tongue pressure point."
"Why is that elder-san?"
"Because the pill I gave you is a one-time only cure, if they find out and manage to hit that pressure point again…there will be no way for you to return to being human again."
Aizen's face paled as he realized he needed to figure out how to escape Soul Society's notice so that didn't happen, Cologne then offered something called a time mushroom that would allow him to age or de-age himself so his enemies wouldn't find him. Aizen blinked as he realized that it would be simpler to de-age himself as they would look for an Adult with his hair and eye color, he then agreed to the idea. Cologne retrieved the mushrooms and asked what age he thought would be the best for his disguise, Aizen blinked as he thought about it when Tsuki then spoke up "What if he was Ranma's age? It's not too young or too old and everyone overlooks teenagers in a city or town…"
Aizen had to agree with that and Cologne cut a sixteen inch mushroom and handed it to Aizen, he took a deep breath to calm himself then bit into the mushroom. He quickly finished the mushroom and they waited for a few minutes, Aizen blinked as he felt strange and looked down at his hands as they and the rest of his body grew smaller until he was sixteen again. He blinked as he stood and looked in a mirror at his reflection, the teenager staring back at him blinked when he did and he softly smiled and thanked the Elder for her help.
Two weeks later…
The four teens waved back at the village as their three traveling companions from the village told them to follow them so they could catch the boat to Japan, Tsuki giggled as Mousse and Shampoo got into another argument while Cologne smiled and shook her head. Aizen walked beside them as he smiled at Tsuki's laughter and Ranma's chuckling at the two lovebirds. They soon arrived and hurried to the docks to catch their boat, Ryoga grinned as he now no longer had trouble with his sense of direction thanks to the Amazons giving him a magic bracelet. He laughed as he shot ahead of Ranma and reached the boat first, Ranma just grinned and shook his head as Tsuki and Shampoo giggled while they board the boat. The boat then pulled out into the ocean and left China's shore behind.
Tsuki smiled as Aizen laughed at Genma's attempt to try and kidnap Ranma but failed as Ranma sensed him and threw him over the side of the boat, the stupid idiot then popped up in panda form as the boat hurried away from him while the Ranma, Tsuki and the others laughed at the man. By nightfall, the boat had reached Japan and Aizen was nervous to be "home" after what happened but Tsuki's hand rested comfortingly on his hand as she whispered it would be ok. Aizen sighed as the tension left him and he followed her off the boat and into Tokyo city. Cologne smiled as the six teens grabbed their bags and then led them to a hotel for the night before they headed to the Nermia district.
