He didn't know that his hybrid son had mated and bred at least twice so far in the last few weeks, or of the numerous girls too young to breed who had been genetically 'marked' with a kiss in order to enable Ranma to find them again when they reached maturity.
And most importantly of all, the mad scientist/martial artist did not know this night his son had decided it was time to moult into a more advanced (and thus greater survivability) form. For all his scientific genius, Genma was remarkably ignorant of his own son's physiology. Even when Ranma had gone from a cherubic 8 year old to a handsome 14 year old virtually overnight, he still hadn't made the connection, shrugging it off as 'good ol Saotome genes' and not putting the pieces together.
But Ranma knew tonight was a special night.
Hastened by the warning sensations of danger received from the first mate, his body's evolutionary growth had been stimulated once again.
Tonight, he would moult.
The process was not as messy as Syl's cocoon, but more like a snake. First his eyes clouded to milky gray, the old skin starting to peel all over as he shed his clothes to lie naked in the pale moonlight. As the hours passed tears started to show and stretch in the outer skin, as the form underneath swelled in size.
Finally with a gush of pale ammoniac smelling liquid, a yet and naked adult Ranma emerged from the gray husk. Blinking away the fluid, the hybrid breathed deeply of the cool night air.
And slowly, he smiled.
For on the breeze was the sweet perfume of a potential mate.
Unencumbered by clothes, his slick maleness rose and hardened in anticipation.
Tonight, he would breed.
And he was off, racing like a hunting cat toward the source of the enticing scent.
