Akane, on the other hand, was more bestial in appearance. Her hands were thick and clumsy, with dark thick nails that almost seemed to be composed of animal horn. She was 22% cow, 10% ox, 5% gorilla, and 5% rabbit. She had a slight muzzle, horns at her temples, was 6'9" tall, and thickly muscled like some weightlifter. Her arms hung down nearly to her knees, and she had some problems that malnutrition of late had caused.
The girl grunted as she clumsily accepted a bowl of soup. "Hope this doesn't have any beef in it."
"Nah, don't get that too often," said the boy.
"What's your name, anyway," asked Akane, feeling the morning chill abate in her hands from the warmth of the bowl.
"Ranma Saotome, of the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts," answered the boy, fixing himself a bowl.
"If you're camping alone, why do you have two bowls?" asked Akane, a little suspicion forming. She hadn't heard anything about another branch of her family school of martial arts - that was suspicious too.
"I don't," said Ranma. "They sell 'em in groups of three. Sometimes my Pops will show up, and sometimes he's got the Professor with him. So I keep 'em just in case. Better with my Pop to have a bowl around - otherwise he might just help himself to the kettle."
"A 'professor'?" asked Akane. Somehow the boy didn't strike her as particularly scholastic.
"Professor Natsume," said Ranma. "The Yaks the ones who transformed you?" At Akane's hesitant nod, Ranma continued. "They stole the enhancement process from him."
A brief spurt of hope blossomed in Akane's heart. "So - can he undo this?"
