Her grades were pretty good for someone who wasn't a natural 'exam ace', and she was rather able to figure a lot of things out on her own, if given the time to think about it. Unfortunately, she was also the sort of person who could jump into any sort of action, and sometimes, her mental leaps and connections tended to be in the wrong directions. If she was already disposed to one thought pattern about something, she was prone to judge a new events involving that issue along the same path. She was quick to anger, and rather judgmental at times.
With 'P-chan', she'd never really been able to 'connect the dots'. Sure, her 'pet pig' had a tendency to get lost a lot, and had a familiar looking bandana, but she had never been able to really see the piglet get hit by hot water, and was never able to figure out where he'd come from. After all, she'd always had a soft spot for those she deemed to be 'innocent' and 'good'.
Now, her mind was working in overdrive as certain things that she'd long ignored fell into place. Ever since a redheaded girl had come to her house one rainy day, she'd known how a Jusenkyo curse worked. Shampoo had one, as did Mousse and some other people that they had met. It was a really simple connection to make. 'P-chan' got hit by hot water, and turned into Ryoga, which proved that it was a curse from that particular set of springs. Her 'friend' had a habit of getting lost, and wore a yellow bandana with black stripes, and her 'pet' had both those issues going for him as well. That meant that Ryoga was 'P-chan', which brought up a whole new set of issues.
The youngest Tendo looked towards the form of the boy that she had considered a 'friend', but realized that the one who had occupied that body until recently was elsewhere. So she turned to face where the supposed 'nice guy' was, but looked at the floor as her hands balled into fists. "I trusted him...."
Hearing that whisper was enough to get Ryoga-Kodachi to totally ignore the fact that there was now weight to her chest.
"I protected him...."
This was not something good at all by the Lost Boy's reckoning, as the seemingly audible tightening of her body was a bad sign.
"He was supposed to be my friend...."
A wince crossed the gymnast's original face.
"I changed with P-chan in the room...."
Ryoga-in-Kodachi felt a throb in her nose from the memories, even as a visible aura sprang up around the now growling Tendo.
"I slept with P-chan...."
Now, the transferred boy knew that he was not about to get a reprieve from the coming storm.
"Ryoga, you PERVERT! You're more of a lech than Ranma could ever be!" Akane snarled, whipping her head up to look at her supposed friend.
Knowing what was coming, Ryoga-Kodachi tried to leap to her feet to bolt out of there.
"Ryoga...."
Kodachi-Ryoga realized that something bad was going to happen.
"Prepare to..."
Those not directly involved watched, knowing what was about to happen.
"DIE!" the youngest Tendo bellowed, using one hand to shove herself to a standing position, which let her immediately rush the boy currently occupying the gymnast's body.
Instinct propelled Ryoga-Kodachi to forgo any sort of plan, and just get the heck out of there.
"That's my body!" Kodachi-Ryoga yelled, chasing after Akane, who was chasing after the rich girl's running body, and the boy in it.
Nabiki looked at Shampoo, who looked at Ukyo, and all three of them shared an expression that spoke of having expected something like this happening. They gazed at the chase scene for a long moment, before deciding that it would be best if they:
