What had him really bothered was that he was currently a 'she'.
He'd gone billions upon billions of miles from the Earth, landed on an alien planet, and been dropped back onto his home planet with all sorts of new power, and he still had the damned curse.
That had Ranma-chan chomping down on her burgers with a vengeance, taking her anger out on what she could. Her hope had been that she'd lost the curse until she'd wound up falling into a small avoiding a couple of cops patrolling a park. Climbing out with her shirt clinging to her bouncing breasts had been bothersome at best, especially considering it had made it so that her curse had been revealed to those aiding her in a rather embarrassing way.
About the only good thing that still having the curse gave to him was the fact that it was a good disguise. Those looking for him were searching for a dark haired boy with a clean build.

"Then there is just one other thing that I have to ask about it right now?"
"Yeah?"
"Why don't you try out the clothes we got for you? It would make it really easier to hide if you weren't wearing the same things as when you landed."
Pressing her lips together, Ranma glanced over at the bed she was supposed to use, and the skirt and high heels lying there, and reminded herself that Miss Webster and the cameraman were really trying to help her, while:
