[Episode 43665] [Episode 43665]It wasn't a new experience for Ranma to dream, though dreaming in itself was somewhat rare for him since he didn't get a full nights rest all that often. Between Genma, Akane, the other fiance's and enemies he hadn't really gotten any real sleep in a long time. This was cause he had to be on the lookout almost every moment of every day, sleep was no exception. For during the training trip with Genma Ranma had been forced to learn to sleep lightly, crudely put he was only half asleep though still conscious of his surroundings. Those few times he did sleep in the full sense, whether from extreme exhaustion or a traumatizing event (like what Kuno had done to him when he was in his cursed form), he would suffer from nightmares.
Nightmares like these were for lack of a better term horrible, forcing him to question his own identity and......orientation in some cases. Dreams like those wouldn't really phase the average person but given the curse's gender bending qualities the nightmares just brought to light when of his deeper rooted fears. Becoming a girl. Girls were nice, he had nothing against em except for those girls who just couldn't accept reality. But he was a man, born a man, raised a man. Because of that upbringing he was terrified that the curse would eventually change him not only in body but mind as well to the extent that he, Ranma Saotome had been totally replaced by Ranko Saotome.
This was not one of those nightmares.
He was laying on a bed, half asleep with his eyes closed. But around him he could feel several bodies snuggling against his body. He had his arms around two of the bodies and could tell that one of them had fur while the other possessed smooth skin. There were several more bodies on top of him but as that fact became clear so did something else. All of the bodies snuggling up to him were female, this was one similarity of two, the second being that he could tell they were female since they were all naked......including......him.
Strange, just that thought along should have sent him climbing the cieling, instead he felt....calm. It'd be mean of him to wake the girls like this anyways, best to wait until they woke up on their own. Besides, it was kinda nice to cuddle like this, just holding them without a care in the world. And despite that tiny voice screaming for him to run like hell he pulled the girls closer as he drifted off in the dream.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile Ranma's body in the real world started to change, shifting and growing as fur spread out all along his skin and claw-like extensions replaced fingernails. For a moment Ranma started to squirm as the change met a impasse of sorts but fortunately the clothes gave way with a silent rip as his body finished changing. Turning over he continued sleeping, though now one could see the scratch marks left by Brianna.
