It made it so much simpler to deal with them this way.
Since the restaurant was only newly ruined it could not have been more than a day or so after the fire, and for things not to have begun repairs already that meant that Kuonji-sama was almost certainly chasing Ranma around somewhere.
In a wide, pink bed in Kuno Manor, a certain sleepy chef sneezed, and that awakened her to more fun.
Konatsu went ahead, calling all of the carpenters, plumbers and so on they used to get the work done for their repairs. They had found it so much cheaper to arrange with the craftsmen themselves rather than go through a company with lots of overhead. And the one time a craftsman had taken his parts budget and ran, as contractors sometimes do, his friends saw the results of what had happened once Ukyo and the ninja chased the man down and no one was eager to cheat them from then on.
Saving money on repairs also let them save more of the insurance checks, as repairs were always estimated based on the normal price of reconstruction.
Finished making calls, though Konatsu had once or twice had to explain that her voice had changed, and yes she was authorized to order repair work done to the popular restaurant, and no she wasn't interested in a date, the pretty kunoichi went over and sat on her duffel bag to think.
No sooner had she done so than a head with long hair wriggled out. "Hey! I am not a chair!"
"Until you have apologized to my Ukyo-sama, you are not a person, either." The kunoichi replied dryly, sighing. Tsubasa glowered, which Konatsu ignored. Then the tied up blot on Kuonji's life switched tactics.
"Haven't I been punished enough?"
"Until you have apologized to Ukyo-sama, you have not been punished at all." Konatsu again replied, and the pretty kunoichi's voice did sound oddly different. "It was your on fault for following me to China, anyway."
"You were dressed as my beloved Ukyo-chan!" Tsubasa glowered, then hearts and roses appeared around the bound one. "I was so sure that she had run away so that we could be together at last!" The hearts vanished, and squiggly lines of anger appeared. "Then you had to..." Anger vanished as tears appeared, and the suddenly pathetic crossdresser began to cry. "AWWW, Ukyo-chan will never love me now!"
Odd, something was different about the crossdresser's voice as well.
Konatsu shifted uncomfortably as her chair got more and more active, that caused feelings that were both new and unfamiliar and most decidedly unwelcome from this source. She stood up and faced the bag. "Will you stop whining? Be a man!"
"I CAN'T!! YOU SPLASHED ME WITH THAT WATER!!" Tsubasa wailed.
Konatsu stomped a foot, causing her brand new breasts to jiggle slightly within her top. "I went to China to see the Musk to fix my own problem. I've always been a girl in everything except body and they had the cure for that! If you hadn't been disguised as my pack you never would've gotten near to Herb OR his ladle. It's your own fault you fell in that spring when I jumped in! AND got splashed with me when I came out!"
The now-truly-a-girl Tsubasa looked up and sniffled at the likewise cursed and locked newly female Konatsu. "But... now I havta go to the bathroom."
Konatsu checked a dainty watch. "Well, it's almost an hour before the Ucchan's will have a working one again. I suppose that I could take you to a bath house with me. But if you try to escape again, I'll..." she did her best to copy the glare of one of her step-sisters. "Follow you out into a street somewhere and tickle you until you pee!"
Tsubasa quailed.
