Pig Tailed Girl’s Secret
Chapter 10 Genma Interruption
Kuno was very excited. He’d finally planned the perfect date for Ranma’s girl half. He was really excited about it. “Hmm hmm hmm!” Tatewaki hummed, feeling very pleased with himself.
“You seem pleased today.” Ranma said. The two were sitting on the roof of the school eating lunch.
Kuno pumped his chest. “Yes, I’ve scoured the many options and I’ve picked the perfect date plan!” He was beaming. There were a lot of places one can go around here, Kuno didn’t want to plan too much and waste potential date options in the future, but kept them in his back pocket in case something didn’t plan out. “I’ll be sure to give your lovely Ranko self, all the love it deserves.”
“Ranko?”
“Do you like it, your name is lovely male or female, but I thought since you want to keep your secret I could call you something special. If you don’t like Ranko, I have Ran-chan, Ranfu, or my sweet Pigtailed Goddess!”
Ranma groaned. “Ranko is fine, you really are weird sometimes.” He said, but his voice didn’t hold the venom of annoyance it was spoken in an endearing way.
“They say the love of a beauty can make men stupid, and you are lovely as both man and woman.” He hugged Ranma.
“Oi, how can you say such things so smoothly. It’s not fair!”
“Not fair? I think it’s completely fair.” He snuggled Ranma, and the raven haired boy let him, actually enjoying the affection.
‘Least no one is around to see me like this.’ It was still hard for him to relax out in the open.

“I knew it!” Genma was watching from a telescope. “I knew that boy was hiding something. He’s a lot closer to that Kuno boy than he claims!” He was spying, catching them on the roof. Nothing elicit or explicit, but it was information none the less. Information in Genma Saotome’s hand was dangerous.
-x-
Ranma stayed after school to attend kendo club. Practice was intense, his martial arts training made him able to grasp the basics and take the next steps. The other members of the club were impressed.
They even took Ranma’s advice in correcting or adjusting stances and training regimen. ‘Maybe running the dojo won’t be so difficult.’
After some training and sparring, lot of the members went home early, leaving Ranma and Kuno alone. “Go ahead and hit the showers. I’ll finish cleaning up.”
“Are you sure, I can help.”
“I know you can, but I’m used to handling things, plus you can get ready for our date.” Kuno winked at him. Ranma blushed.
“Yeah, yeah…” He kissed Kuno on the cheek, before he left and got a shower, he got changed and head home.’I wonder what he’s got planned.’ Ranma was feeling excited about the whole thing.
Upon arrival at the Tendo home, he found Akane using the dojo. Before he could even talk to her, his father came barreling in. “Ranma!”
“What do you want pop?”
“We haven’t trained, you will be training tonight, you are getting sloppy boy!” Ranma rolled his eyes.
“I got plans tonight.” He said and he tried to move past his father.
“Plans with that Kuno boy?” Saotome froze.
“Not that it’s your business, but we are gonna hang out.” He said not ashamed.
Genma gave him a look. “Doing what?” Ranma looked at his father studying him before smiling.
“I honestly don’t know.” He hummed to himself and started walking towards the house.
“Hold on boy!” Genma grabbed Ranma and the reaction was immediate. The boy checked his father flipping him over his shoulder and slamming him to the ground.
“Looks like you’re getting sloppy pop, maybe you should train with Mr. Tendo, or by yourself...later!” He went inside.
-x-
Ranma went girl form and knocked on Nabiki’s door. “Hey um...can I borrow something?” The middle Tendo got a big smile.
“You can rent…” She said before grabbing Ranko and pulling her into her room. “So what’s the plan?”
“I don’t know, he’s gonna surprise me.” Ranko went through different outfits.
“You’re nervous?” It was a half question.
“A little…” She twiddled her fingers. “I think I’m...excited...for the date!” She corrected with a blush.
“You like him?”
“Yeah...I do...is that weird?”
“For a girl no...for a guy also no…” Ranko sighed. “Have you ever liked a guy before?”
“I mean...I don’t know...maybe...but I never thought about..that…” She was blushing and Nabiki felt there was more here, but didn’t press.
“If he was gonna do something fancy he’d have sent you something again. Let’s go for casual.” Nabiki picked out some stuff that’d work for a casual date.
When it was time Ranma got a message arrow. Nabiki sighed. “You two really need to get a cell phone.”
“Hehe…” He took the arrow and read the message. “Looks like I’m off.”
“Have fun, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do for free.”
“Thanks!” Ranma saw his dad staking out the front so decided to go out the side way. She was wearing a black long sleeved top, with a floral collar, tight back pants, with a flower skirt, a red hat with a flower pin, and sensible shoes. It had some feminine touches, but it was comfortable. As for underwear Ranko decided to wear a pair of briefs.
Nabiki said Ranma should get herself some proper panties and underwear. He wasn’t quite sure about that just yet.
Kuno showed up and he was in casual dress, a blue jacket, black undershirt, and loose white pants, and comfortable shoes. ‘He looks good!’
“You look lovely Ranko my dear!” Kuno said and kissed the back of Ranko’s hand. She blushed.
“You look great to.” She clapped her hands. “So what are we doing?”
“Well, we are going on a tour!”
“A tour?” Ranko blinked.
“Yes, you are new here, so we are gonna tour the town.” He wanted Ranma to see the sights, to know the town, if there was even a chance of putting down roots it was good to see what was in the garden. Kuno wanted Ranma to have a place, places he could go he could get their favorite meal, to hang out with friends, have a “their place”, if they wanted to do something fun, go for a walk, take up a hobby, anything. It was super thoughtful, they got to spend time together and Ranma got to explore the town.
-x-
Genma went to check on Ranma, only to find the boy gone. He searched the whole house. “Where is Ranma?”
“I think he went out.” Akane said, having seen Ranma leave earlier. “Well she...he was in girl form.”
“What?!” Genma left.
“What’s up with him?” Akane asked confused.
-x-
Kuno showed Ranma the park, where they offered boat rides and had picnic areas. They kept exploring the tourist area had an ice rink, a tea house, a museum, an arcade, there was an aquarium, and a few lots that get taken up when there are festivals and the like. The two didn’t go into these places they were essentially window shopping locations. They passed by the amusement park where they had the boy date.
They eventually ended up in the shopping district, Ranko got to enjoy some of the local shops, try some of the local food places. She ordered some fancy ice creams, he’d have been too embarrassed to try as a guy. Kuno foot the bill. There was clothing stores, thrift shops, an antique shop, and some open lots where pop up shops could rent space to sell things.
Ranma saw a movie theater, there was concert hall, and a gym. Ranko got to enjoy some free samples to test the local eateries and cafes. Kuno saved the info of the places she really liked.
“Do you want to do some shopping?”
“I didn’t bring much money…” She said sadly. It was because she didn’t have a lot of money to begin with. Heck just renting the outfit was putting a nail in his limited funds.
“I got you covered.”
“But…” Kuno hugged her.
“Let me spoil you today, if its something you want don’t hesitate to ask.”
“Fine…” They went into one shop, offering different female clothes. “Let’s do this!”
Ranko tried on different outfits, from casual, to combat, to fierce. Kuno gushed about each one. “I need you to be honest, I don’t know what looks good on me.”
“It all looks good on you Ranko my sweet, but get what makes you comfortable.” He was sweet but not exactly helpful. Ranko said to pick to his top five and get them, Kuno was looking through the outfits. Thankfully the sales person was happy to help.
The woman had dark hair, a sweet face, and a kind personality. Her name tag had her first name Kagome. She picked out a few things and handed them to Ranko. “What are we thinking on underwear?” She blushed.
“Um…” Ranma didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t exactly tell her she was actually a he.
“Maybe something for the boyfriend?” She asked looking towards Kuno.
“Oh sure.” She looked down. ‘No harm in just looking.’
The sales woman came back with a bunch of different options but a red number really caught Ranma’s eye. Ranko stared at it. “Umm Kuno...I...I want to try this on...could you…” Kuno surged.
“Yes my goddess!” He said boldly and he paid the try on fee. For underwear there was a try on fee, half the sale’s price. Kuno paid it.
Outside Genma had been looking for them and saw Kuno in the shop. He pressed his face against the glass and saw his son in girl form in one of the dressing rooms behind a curtain. ‘What is that boy doing?!’ He saw Kuno bring back the rental ticket. Genma put the pieces together, the only reason why they’d have a rental ticket was... ‘Oh hell no!’
Genma went and got some hot water.
Inside…
Ranko took off her clothes and put on the red number, it held her bust well and then she slipped the panties on. She looked herself over in the mirror and it looked good. ‘It doesn’t feel bad…’ He looked at herself, and felt his core libido surge. ‘I can’t believe I’m wearing women’s underwear, and it doesn’t feel bad.’ The garment wasn’t too frilly, and it offered comfort and support in all the right places. ‘Should I show Kuno...no...I want to surprise him.’ She stuck a hand out. “Hey Kuno can you pay for this, I’m gonna wear it out.”
“Of course!” He went and paid.
Genma used his burglar skills and slipped into the shop and into the dressing room next to Ranma, he raised the kettle and dumped the contents into the other stall. Ranma’s male voice rang out. “Hot!” Genma bolted as Kuno came running back.
“Ranko!” He burst into the changing room and froze. Male Ranma, wearing the red silk number. His whole face burned. Kuno drank in Ranma’s form, he was beautiful even wearing women’s underwear. The look of fear and panic in Ranma’s eyes sobered him up.
Tatewaki hugged Ranma. “It’s okay...you’re beautiful!” Saotome took calming breaths. Kuno was rubbing his back and shushing him in a calming and comforting way.
His eyes were wet with tears but he held them back. “I...wanted to surprise you...do you think I’m weird?” Those old fears creeping up and gripping Ranma’s chest.
“No, you’re amazing!” He pulled back. “I’ll get you some water.” Kuno left, and Ranma tried to breathe and calm down.
Tatewaki acted fast and returned with water and a towel, he doused Ranma, just enough to trigger the curse and he was back to she. “Do you like it?” She asked.
“I love it, its sexy on you no matter what gender you are.”
“Do...do you really mean that?”
“Oh yes!” Ranko pressed into him and kissed Kuno. He kissed back and held her close. “Mmmm~!” They enjoyed the moment before reality came knocking.
“Is there anything else I can grab for you?” Ranko pulled back blushing.
“No...I’m good!” Even Kuno was blushing. He was hard, his bulge rubbing against Ranko’s panty clad womanhood. She shivered.
Tatewaki mouthed sorry. She shook her head, smiling despite the blush. Once the sales girl left he left the room leaving Ranko to dry off and put on her clothes, tucking her briefs into a bag. Kuno picked out five outfits, and Ranko picked out four plus the underwear.
Things were quiet, the sales person looked between them. “Is something wrong?”
“No...nothing!” Ranko waved her off.
“Well, if you two are looking for something fun, there’s a club at the edge of town, music, drinks, dancing, you might enjoy it.” She handed over the flier.
“Thanks.” They left the shop.
The two walked still in silence. Ranko was deep in thought. He had taken a step, dipping a toe in, taking the advantage of the situation. Maybe he wasn’t ready, maybe it was too risky, e felt like he’d made some kind of mistake.
Kuno looked at her. “Red is a good color on you.” He said, breaking the silence.
“Shut up!” Ranko said and playfully elbowed him. She still laughed, Tatewaki smiled at her.
“What color do you think would look good on me?” Ranko blushed at the thought.
“Dark blue...maybe a nice purple?”
“Let’s find out.” Kuno took Ranma to another store this one was tucked away and it had blacked out windows.
It was a sex shop! Kuno purchased a private room, and selected a couple of outfits. Ranma’s face burned seeing various toys, outfits, and other bits and bobs. ‘Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god…’ She had no idea what was about to happen.
Then Kuno came in in a full bra and panty set, it was a rich blue color with a rose pattern over the crotch. Said crotch was bulged lewdly by his cock and balls. “How do I look?”
“Wow!” Ranma couldn’t help but smile.
He knelt before Ranko. “My sweet Ranko, talk to me.”
“I...saw myself...as a guy in the women’s underwear, and I kinda wigged…” She said softly. “Nabiki had offered, but I didn’t want to wear women’s underwear, but then that sales girl was so nice I didn’t want to make a scene and when I saw the red number...I tried it on...then the hot water…”
Ranko looked at Kuno. “I still liked it…” He was surprised.
“But that’s good, right?”
“Maybe, but having you with me, saying it was okay made me feel okay.” Ranko looks at Kuno in the full bra and panties. “Then look at you, wearing panties like it’s no big deal. Because it’s not a big deal is it?”
Kuno shrugged. “Not to me. I meant what I told you before. I love you.”
“You’d really wear panties and stuff for me?”
“Yes, I don’t think it’s weird, and I don’t think you’re weird for enjoying a bit of lingerie.”
“You’re crazy!” Her voice was warm and soft, not a drop of venom or cruelty.
“Crazy for you.” He took her hand and kissed the back of it. “Shall we shop around?” Kuno was encouraging Ranma to explore things, without judgment. He put his clothes on, still wearing the lingerie under his clothes. Kuno showed Ranma a whole section of Male Lingerie. She picked out a couple of things for Kuno, mostly different colors, The sex toys were interesting... all the different shapes, sizes, styles,
Tatewaki even bought special briefs for pegging. “You are serious?”
“Absolutely!” He smiled. The briefs were special with a dock for different sizes. Kuno got one with his size and one of Ranma’s male size, the training rod that came with it was just an extra.
They didn’t get anything more than that. Ranma remembered the book on toys Kuno had given him. She wanted to do research before making any purchases. Even if Kuno was willing to buy whatever she wanted.
The shop sales person was a unique individual they were very pretty. They were lean and had their hair pinned up in a feminine style. They had blue snake fang tattoos on their cheeks. He was wearing make up having red lips and green eye shadow. One could mistake them for a woman. On their uniform was a name tag Jakotsu.
“Hello, hello, aren’t you two interesting. I love your energy girl.” Jakotsu said looking at Ranko.
“Umm thank you?”
“This your first time in a place like this?”
“That obvious huh?” Ranko rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly.
“No shame in it honey, everyone needs to get their freak on now and then. Nothing wrong with that.” Jakotsu shot her a wink. “We of course encourage people to experiment safely. The shop even has pros who offer courses.”
Ranko blushed. “Just this stuff for now.”
“Kk, you are lucky, your boyfriend here has a very unique aura about him.” Jakotsu said and started scanning their items.
“He’s…” Ranko began but stopped herself. “Thank you, yeah he’s really special.”
“Be sure to come back if you have any needs you want met.” Jakotsu handed over a card, with holes to punch.
They were about to leave, when Ranko spotted her father. “Crap it’s pops!”
“Genma Saotome!?” Kuno peeked out the crack, and there he was at the end of the alley. The man was looking around.
“He must have poured the hot water on me!” Ranma growled.
“Trouble?” Jakotsu came forward.
“My old man...he…” She looked down.
Jakotsu raised his hand. “Honey, you don’t need to explain. If you two want out, take the back way out. I got you covered sugar pop.” He winked.
“Thank you!” Kuno said happily.
“Let’s go!” They took the back way out, Jakotsu showed them the way, it had a hidden door.
“Just follow the hallway and you’re all good.”
They did and found the exit that put them far and away from Genma’s gaze. The man did try to come into the shop. Jakotsu sized the man up instantly. He was pretty good at reading auras and this man was a trash fire of miserable and bad.
Genma looked at Jakotsu. “Did my son...err...daughter come in here with a tall boy?”
‘Son? Daughter?’ Jakotsu felt the wheels turning like he just got a peek at something interesting. He shrugged. “Sorry old man haven’t had a customer all day. If you’re interested we got a sale on cock cages, I hear men your age really dig it.” Genma turned white.
“No no no no thank you!” He bolted like Jakotsu was gonna set him on fire.
Jakotsu flipped him off. ‘Prick!’ He got bad vibes immediately from Genma, he hoped the two would be okay.
-x-
Ranko and Kuno made it back. “What are we gonna do about all this stuff?” She asked. Lugging around some of the more X rated stuff had Ranma on edge.
“Not to worry.” He called Sasuke, who arrived quickly.
“I’ll have your items stored safely at the Kuno Estate.” Sasuke left with a bow.
“Thank you!” Ranko called.
“Ugh I can’t believe my old man.”
“Let’s not let him ruin our date Ranko dear!” Kuno said with a bow taking her hand. She held it.
“Yeah.” They walked and Ranko saw a small electronics shop.
“Hey can we go here?” Kuno looked at the shop.
“Sure thing my dear!”
Ranko talked about getting a phone. Kuno wasn’t super techy but he was capable of growing. The shop keep had striking red hair, he was a true salesman working with the two and answering any questions they had.
Tatewaki decided to get them both a phone, nothing too fancy, flip phones and a good plan for calls and texts. The boy Rinne They didn’t need much. Ranko picked out a red phone, and Kuno picked out a blue one. “Maybe I should get one for Sasuke and my sister…” Kuno wondered.
Rinne was eager for more sales, but explained how you could have a Business Plan and a Family plan. Ranko perked up at the mention of his sister, but didn’t say anything.
They set up and exchanged numbers. Kuno had Ranma/Ranko as contact. Ranko put him down as Tatewaki. Rinne explained the basics, and Kuno gave him a tip, the boy cried tears of joy. “Thank you so much!”
The guy needed the money. “The name is Rinne, I work here, I practically run this shop we buy and sell electronics here, we also do repairs.” He ran his own temp company Rokudo Odd Jobs. “My card!”
“I haven’t seen you at school?” Ranko said, before clapping a hand over her mouth. She forgot she was Ranko.
“I can’t afford school, this is my main job but I do anything from yard work, gardening, delivery, repairs...etc…”
“Thank you.” Kuno said. He kept the card. Ranko even added his business and Jakotsu’s business to her contact info. Seeing the empty contact list made Ranko a bit sad. Kuno put an arm around her. “We can add more.”
She nodded. She could add Tofu’s and the Tendo house’s number, if he ever needed to he could call them without worrying about a pay phone. It was an extra life line, a bit of independence his father wouldn’t have given him. ‘I wonder if…’ A thought crossed her mind but she shook it off.
They continued their date, doing a little shopping and sampling local cuisine. Kuno wanted Ranma to have roots, places to go, things to do, places to hangout and enjoy, with or without him. He deserved that. “This can’t be entertaining for you?” He looked at her. “Giving me this whole tour thing?”
“Actually I’m having a grand time.” He sipped his soda. “I’ve gotten to spend the day with you.”
Ranko blushed. “I gotta admit, you are a smooth one Tatewaki Kuno. This date was practically perfect. Even with my old man trying to interrupt it.”
“He might be your father but I’d like to give him what for!”
Ranko chuckled. “That I’d like to see, but you need to be ready my old man is sneaky, sword skills alone won’t be enough.”
Kuno got an idea. “Maybe I need to train, I’m willing to put the effort in to get stronger.”
“Maybe I should teach you the Anything Goes Martial Arts?”Kuno was an honorable man, Genma wasn’t, in a fight Kuno may hold back or show mercy and that’s when Genma would strike. Ranma knew this, and knew in true Anything Goes fashion Genma would cheat and do something horrible to Kuno. Simply learning the Anything Goes School Arts would be enough to counter or handle his tricks.
Kuno smiled. “It’s a date!”
“Wait…” Ranko blushed. “Huh?” She just asked Kuno out, in a weird way, but it worked.
“I have heard of a dojo that could use new students, and they have a lovely instructor.”
“You can’t sweet talk me, if you are serious about training I’m gonna push you hard.” His warrior/martial art spirit burned.
“I will do my best to make you proud.”
Their date ended and Kuno brought Ranko home. Genma had been stuck running in circles. Sasuke had doubled back and began running ninja interference and keeping the man away. When he finally gave up he headed back.
Ranko kissed Kuno goodbye, he held her close, and the two melted into each other. “BOY!” The two tensed, Genma’s voice piercing the evening air. “WHAT the HELL is THIS!”
“Do you want me to stay?” Kuno asked.
“No, I got this, I’ll call you, I promise!” He kissed her cheek and pulled back but didn’t leave, he waited. Ranko went into the Tendo place and Genma followed, shooting a glare at Kuno as he passed. Tatewaki didn’t flinch, instead fixed the man with a righteous glare of his own.
The look said it all. “Touch them and I’ll burn your world to the ground!”. Genma flinched, Kuno wasn’t messing around. The older Saotome puffed up his chest trying to act tough and followed Ranma into the house.
‘I wanted to talk to her…’ Kuno didn’t like how they left things. He’d given Ranma a date as a man and a woman, now the ball was in their court. He sighed and went home.
Ranma turned back to a guy, and even had dinner. Genma was playing the angry father, shooting daggers at Ranma with his eyes while angrily scarfing down his food, even his chewing sounded angry. The Tendo sisters looked between Ranma and Genma, tension thick in the air.
If Ranma tried to talk Genma made a noise. “Saotome, is something wrong?” Tendo asked.
He glared at Ranma. “I’m just tired. I don’t have much appetite.” Genma got up and left, heading to bed.
Ranma sighed. All the dirty looks and guilt trips didn’t work on him. He knew how his dad operated. Dinner was better without Genma. Nabiki gave Ranma a look, and he returned it promising details later.
He took a bath, thinking a lot. Ranma went to Nabiki’s room and spilled the tea. The girl gushed over his new phone, she got his number and the put the house contacts in it. “I can’t believe you got Kuno to get a phone, he’s so old school with things.”
“It’s kinda sweet in his own way. He’s willing to adapt…”
“I think you’re a good influence on him.” Nabiki said. “I’ve known that boy for a long time, and this is the happiest I’ve ever seen him. Are you gonna see him again?”
That was the question.
Ranma didn’t forget to message Kuno, the male’s phone buzzed.
Ranma: Hey
His response was slow, but it came.
Tatewaki: My love, is everything okay?
Ranma: Yeah
Ranma: I just wanted to wish you goodnight and thank you for the fun time.
Tatewaki: Goodnight my love, may we meet in our dreams!
Ranma felt his heart flutter. He relaxed on the roof, watching the stars. The boy held the phone and remembered a number. ‘What am I doing?’ He called the number.
“Hi, you’ve reached the Hibiki Residence, no one is home right now, please leave a message and we’ll get back to you as soon as we return!” Beep!
“Hey Ryoga...it’s Ranma...I…” Beep!
“We are sorry messages are full.” Click!
Saotome sighed and closed his phone. “What am I doing? He wouldn’t want to see me, let alone talk to me.” He held the phone over his chest. “Hey Ryoga...I know we haven’t talked in forever but...I met someone...things are...changing...but I think I’m happy...and I wanted to share it with someone and I thought of you. I might sound stupid but I think…” The stars didn’t have an answer for him.
Ranma closed his eyes and fell asleep.
-x-
“I’m gonna find you Saotome!” Ryoga was tearing through a jungle. “Ya here me, I’m gonna find you!” His rage burned. “Then I’m gonna have my revenge!”
To be continued...Ranma’s Happiness
Ranma avoided his father, getting a wake up text from Kuno and Ranma calls him wanting to hear his voice. Ranma wanted to talk to him at school, he wasn’t sure what he was gonna say but knew he had to talk to Kuno face to face. Genma is pissed and goes to make trouble. Things spiral out of control for Ranma when Ryoga finds his way to the school and attacks!
