Unbidden, Ranma had a flashback of his girl form coming onto Ryoga. Not just with words, but actual contact with his naked flesh. A tremor of disgust went through him.
He was in his room, dressing into the same Chinese clothes he was used to wearing. He was also trying to figure out how his wishes became so royally screwed up. The clothes part had to be because of Happosai's pestering, wheedling, pleading, weeping, and just plain threatening him, if Ranma didn't make it a world were girls didn't wear just lingerie. He had asked how that was possible, since the weather wouldn't let them go outside most of the time; they needed either clothes, or a miracle product. Did I really say "product"? I've seen too many commercials.
He then wished, maybe, that there were no bras and panties and all that other "silky darling" crap that kept the old freak going. When the old goat had cried about it being sexist and unfair, and how would he like it if guys didn't have underwear, Ranma had said all the guys' underwear in the world should land on the grating old, little fart, far away from him.
But that didn't explain about why he had to wear clothes. Oh, yeah: Akane! She accused him of being a pervert, wanting to see girls without lingerie, and in an Akane kinda leap of logic without clothes all of the time. He should have said that wasn't true. But he didn't. He had said something like, as long as he had clothes, he didn't care who didn't, girl or guy. Which was true; but not literally.
But why did he have to have an "allergy" to the stuff that allowed people to be naked? So that he WOULD be the only one that had clothes? And becoming an irresponsible tease like he just had would certainly MAKE him want to stay in them. A rash or any of the usual symptoms of allergies was like pain; he was used to dealing with that. He could even ignore it, most of the time.
But Mousse, and Ryoga had caused that part. They said he should not be allowed to have wishes, as he was irresponsible and a tease and, maybe a few other descriptive words. So had Kuno; though he thought those characteristics were "endearing". He had replied basically the same way as he had with Akane, he said he didn't care if others thought he was like that as a girl.
That meant that he had to become a girl to fulfill that wish; and that had to screw up his wish to be cured of the Jusenkyo curse, didn't it? He no longer turned into a girl with water. He changed into a girl, now, whenever he touched skin with that soap on it. And there had to be an antedote soap so that he could continue “changing”; back and forth.
Now, did he miss anything? That seemed to cover everything he had learned so far about this World-After.
Oh, yeah: All the girls that want to be his fiancée has to share him, nicely, taking turns. Maybe some good came from the mess after all.
He checked himself out, to make sure only the skin of his ankles, hands and, of course, face was exposed. He noticed the latex gloves, stockings, and face mask, but why they were there didn’t register with him.
As he jogged for the stairs, something that was peculating in the back of his mind finally bubbled up.
"What if it isn't just the GIRLS who want me that get to share me!!?" Come to think of it, the way he was acting as a girl, she had to be popular with the guys! Or hated. "A cheat and a liar...but sexy one."
He turned around and head back up. "I'm going back under the covers."
"Ranma! You're going to be late for school!" Nabiki, quite naked, called out at the bottom of the stairs. "It's my day to have you, you know!"
"Aw, man! I can't tick Nabiki off. She don't play fair." Especially since he wasn't convinced that her feelings didn't run hot and cold for him. He knew very well just how cold she could be.
He went downstairs.
