Ukyo frowned as she stared into the mirror. She really had no explanation for the fur that began growing on her body this morning. On her back side, it was black... On her front side, it was yellow. Also, on her back, she could see those weird red spots...
"Perhaps Ranchan knows what to do..." she murmured. "Konatsu?"
"Yes mistress?" the ninja said, suddenly appearing out of nowhere.
Ukyo yelped and jumped back in surprise.
Then she cowered in fear as a big flame erupted out of her back. Konatsu took a step back and gasped. "M-mistress?"
Quickly, the fire went out as quickly as it had started, and everything was as it had been before the little outburst.
Except that Ukyo's chef outfit was now ruined, as it fell down in scraps and piles of ash.
Konatsu stared at his mistress' face...
...then his gaze wandered lower.
Realizing her male kunoichi was developing a nosebleed, Ukyo quickly covered her breasts... even her breast bindings had been burnt. "Don't just stand there," she grumbled. "Bring me a shirt or something."
"R-right away, mistress," Konatsu stuttered and went to get something.
Ukyo didn't really notice the fact how his face was covered in black fur... but when he turned around, she could see the three strange, leaf-shaped tails that came out of his behind.
"What the heck?" she murmured to herself.

"Hey, old bat!" Mousse grumbled as he entered the room.
"Be quit, boy," elder Cologne mumbled. "Don't you see I'm meditating?"
"Yeah, yeah... but... something strange happened."
Cologne opened her eyes. "What?"
Mousse pulled his hands inside his long sleeves and produced a pair of long onion-sticks, which gave off a pleasant aroma. "See? All of my hidden weapons have been turned into this. You have an explanation for it?"
Cologne blinked. Now that... was strange indeed. "Are you sure those are your weapons, Mousse? Perhaps you just misplaced them and took some cooking ingredients when you didn't put on your glasses."
"I'm sure of it because they transformed when I was practicing with them... and I had my glasses on at that time."
"Fascinating..." Cologne said in a very Mr. Spock-like manner and rubbed her chin. "This calls for some investigating..."
"Hey, old bat!"
"Don't call me that! And what is it?"
Mousse raised an index finger. "Just curious: Since when can you float?"
Cologne stared down at the ground... and the nearly blind boy was right, she was floating several inches over the ground. "Strange... I could have sworn I was sitting atop my cane..."
Just then the front door opened and Shampoo came back from her delivery. "Great-grandmother! Great-grandmother!"
The force of her arrival made Cologne lose her concentration, and she fell to the floor with a 'thud'. Gathering herself, the elder shook her head. "What is it, Shampoo?"
"Great-grandmother... Shampoo turn into tentacle monster!"
Cologne stuttered. "W-W-WHAT?"
"See?" Shampoo raised her arms, and out of the crooks of her arms came thin, green tendrils that grew in length until they reached the walls of the restaurant.
Cologne came closer and inspected the strange protrusions. "Those are... vines!"
"Yes, and look what Shampoo can make them do..." Shampoo looked at the vine coming out from under her right arm and made it sneak over to Mousse, who was just examining one of the onion sticks. Sneakily, the vine came up from behind him and suddenly, wrapped itself around his head.
"GAH!" he shouted. "My vision is gone! I'm blind!"
Shampoo giggled. "Stupid Mousse!" And she released him.
Cologne had watched the display in awe. "Most fascinating," she said again. "You have the ability to control them with your will?"
Shampoo nodded. "You think Shampoo has to rape innocent virgins now?"
The elder groaned. "Shampoo, I DON'T think you're turning into a tentacle monster... There's something strange about duck-boy and me too..."
"What we do now, great-grandmother?"
"Calm down, child! I think we should see if we are the only ones or if other people are affected as well..."
She sighed. "But first, can you tell me why my head feels like it's pointy?"
----
In the Kuno manor, the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High was striding through the corridors. "Sister! Where are you? I have to talk to you!"
After a while, he found her in the greenhouse.
"What's the matter, brother?" Kodachi asked without looking at him.
"Sister, did you take all of my bokkens?"
"Now why would I do something stupid like this?"
"Because they are gone and replaced with those... those... disgusting objects."
Kodachi turned around and looked at the big bone he was thrusting into her face. "Take that out of my face, brother! You're right, that IS disgusting..."
"But if you didn't do it... who else could have done something like this?" the dense kendoist wondered. He scratched his head. Then it came to him... "Of course! Ranma Saotome! That foul sorcerer! He has placed a curse on me so I can't strike him down with my noble weapons!"
"Please, brother... my darling Ranma would never do something like this..." Then she realized something. "Brother... your head..."
Tatewaki looked back at his sister. "Sister... your hands..."
While her brother reached up to touch the strange, bony substance which coated his head, Kodachi stared at the two big roses that were growing around her hands. A red one around her right hand and a blue one around her left hand.
Just then, their ninja servant, Sasuke, appeared in-between them. "Master Kuno, Mistress Kodachi... I think something strange has happened."
And he spread the white, membran-like wings coming from his back.
