"Great." Ranma said, giving his father a hostile glare. "I can't believe you were that stupid, ol' man. I thought you knew Chinese, didn't the name "Accursed springs" kinda tip ya off?"
Gendo scowled. "I didn't think of it, actually." He admitted, trying to look sheepish. "However, I believe I know of a cure for the curse."
"You what?" Ranma asked, bolting up excitedly.
Gendo nodded. "There is an artifact in Japan that I know of, it will fix this problem, and though it is dangerous for me to venture back there, I will help you obtain it. The curse was, as you pointed out, my fault after all."
Ranma thought for a moment, then nodded. His father looked very serious about this, and he definitely didn't want to end up having to turn into a woman for the rest of his life, or even the next few years. "Fine." He grumbled, irritably. "When can we go?"
Gendo just smiled.
