Well enough talking... on with the FanFic! Legal stuff: All characters re- Bah! Like anyone really cares.... Lemonade Punch #3: "Passion Fever Nightmare" by Paladin Under the bright full moon, the Tendo Dojo was a picture of serenity. It was the hour of night that all was still and quiet. Not even the crickets chirped at this hour of night. This was the time of night that was never disturbed by anything, because all things, even things of the night, rested at this hour.... "Raaaannnmaaaa!!! You get back here, we're not done!" Ranma scrambled down the hallway pulling up his boxers while trying not to trip. Glancing behind him for any signs of pursuit he nearly fell down the stairs. Ranma's heart pounded and he breathed heavily as he rounded a corner then plastered himself against the wall. "Ran-Ma", Nabiki sung, "where are you?" She walked into the room passing underneath Ranma, who was sticking above the door frame, and looked about. Ranma dropped silently to the floor and dashed for the door. Nabiki spun around, "Hey!" Bolting back up the stairs, Ranma stopped mid-way seeing a half-naked, cheerfully smiling Kasumi at the top. He turned and found Nabiki at the bottom grinning like a jackal. Ranma looked back and forth between the two a few times then vaulted over the banister to the floor below. Wasting no time to open it, Ranma ran through the paper door out into the Tendo Dojo garden. Out in the garden Ranma encountered a series of man-traps, presumably for him. Out of sheer panic, Ranma managed to dodge the gauntlet of traps, getting to the front gate. Ranma bent over panting, he had to give Nabiki credit... when it came to- "What the-!" ** ** "Ungh!" ** "Aaaaahhh!" ** "Tiger pit trap in combo with a snare trap at the finish line... clever.", grumbled Ranma as he rubbed the bump on his head. "Hey, let me down! All the blood's running to my head and my ankle's swelling up!" Nabiki grinned thoughtfully for a moment and then began to saw at the rope with a kitchen knife, "Only if you promise to stay put- Hey!" Ranma bent at the waist, grabbed the knife, and cut himself down. He landed on his feet and jumped out of the pit trap. "Hah! I ain't promising nothin- OOF! Akane?!?" Akane tackled Ranma to the ground then knelt on his chest. From his position, Ranma could almost see up Akane's small nightie. "I'm sorry, Ranma, but they *are* my sisters." With that she gave him a warm smile and pulled her nightie over her head, exposing her beautiful naked form. Out of the corner of his eye, Ranma could see Kasumi beginning to undress. Akane smothered his face with kisses as the already bare Nabiki approached. "No! No please! No, not *AGAIN*!", Ranma pleaded as they pulled off his boxers. "No! I can't- anymore- too tired-!", he was frantically stuttering. "NOOOOOOO!!!!!!", he yelled once more before he was buried beneath a pile of female Tendo flesh.... -=-=- "Honneey, I'm home!" "Yay! Daddy's home!" The seven year old girl leapt into her father's arms. The man hefted her into the air and laughed. Ukyou looked on with affection as she cradled a sleeping infant and put the baby in her crib. "Ahhh, ahhh, me too Daddy! Me too!" Cried the five year old boy reaching up and tugging at his father's pant leg. "Okay, you too, sport.", grinned the happy man as he scooped up the boy and held him under the other arm. Then he spun, causing the young boy and girl to shriek in delight. "Hey Dad, look at the 'A' I got in school today!" said his teen-aged son. The man stopped spinning a moment, glanced at the paper approvingly, and quickly patting his eldest son on the back nearly dropping the girl but quickly catching her causing even more giggles. "Good job! Keep it up, Son." "Daddy faster!!!", he was just about to comply when Ukyou interrupted. "Ranma-honey, don't get them too excited, it'll spoil their dinner and they might wake the baby." "Of course, darling." He put down the youngsters who collapsed onto the floor dizzy and out of breath from laughter. Ranma leaned over and kissed Ukyou on the forehead. "How was -Genma go set the table- work today?" "Oh, the usual... some of the students are preparing for their next technique but everything else is pretty normal. What about you?" "I have a new flavor of okonomiyaki to test, we'll all be having it for dinner tonight. You must tell me what you think." "Okonomiyaki again? Yay!!! I love okonomiyaki! It's my favorite and Mom's is the best in the whole entire world!" The whole family sat down to eat, the children lined up by age. The two middle children bore a remarkable resemblance to Ranma in both his forms while the eldest son looked almost exactly like his mother. The baby was too young to look like anyone, but she had her mother's eyes. "Now, let's all-" ** "Oh, Genma, you naughty boy!" "It's okay, it's just water.", said an uncursed Ranma. "I told you that they'd get excited." Ukyou scolded. "It's okay, it's okay... just don't spill again, all right?" "Okay Daddy." Ukyou looked at the scene before her then tears began to well up in her eyes. "Look! Mommy's crying!" "Mommy, I'm sorry, I won't spill again!", Little Genma cried. "It's not your fault Son... Ukyou, what's wrong." said a concerned Ranma. "Nothing. Absolutely nothing, everything is just perfect. These are tears of joy, I'm so happy! I love you all!" "We love you too Mom.", said the oldest son. "And I'll always love you," then whispering, "...perhaps we can fool around a little tonight!" His whisper did not escape the ears of his eavesdropping children. "Yuck mushy stuff!" "Oooh, Daddy and Mommy gonna go smoochy smoochy! Heeheehee!" Ukyou laughed at the reaction of her children as she wiped her tears. Suddenly... a there was a knock at the door. -=-=- "AAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Ranma bolted upright in bed, sweating and breathing heavily. Although it was a dream, it wasn't far from reality... Ranma had been virtually raped by the two elder Tendo sisters for the past few weeks... repeatedly. And now, when they finally allowed him to sleep alone, they haunted and attacked him in his dreams. He hadn't been able to get a full nights worth of good sleep for weeks now because he always had one or more active bed partners: Nabiki, Kasumi, and/or Miss Hinako... it was driving him to insanity and exhaustion. Akane was slowly getting back to her old self after withdrawing from the use of the Passion Fever Dust but it was hard. Ranma and Akane decided that sex would only complicate their relationship, so they would try to abstain from each other... yet Ranma could, and would have to, continue to make love to the Dust junkies. Ranma found it ironic that the one he loved and wanted to make love to was the one he couldn't do it with, while he had hoards of other women that he had to please. It wasn't as if Ranma, as a martial artist, couldn't escape the advances of Nabiki, Kasumi, or Miss Hinako, it was their reputations he was worried about. If they didn't use him for sex, who would they go to? They would become the town whores if he didn't keep them in check. Even with all that he learned from Miss Hinako, he could take only so much. He had to match them each up with somebody else. Kasumi would go to Tofu, obviously, but how would he react to this slut who acted nothing like the original, innocent Kasumi? Ranma had no idea who to match the other two with either. But time was running out. Even if he could hold out longer, the girls were beginning to become tired of him, despite the tricks he had learned. He had to get help. He couldn't ask Akane for help in her fragile state-of-mind. He couldn't ask Tofu who would ask for a full explanation. No way in the world would he ask Mr. Tendo or his father. Who did that leave? Well, whoever he went to, he needed their help soon and fast. -=-=- Ukyou froze in terror at the sound of the knock. "I'll get it." Ranma got up out of his seat and headed towards the door. "Honey, please don't get it!", Ukyou said nervously. ** "What? Oh it's no problem, I'm already up." He continued forwards. "Ranma-honey! Don't answer it!!!", she pleaded. ** "Uchan, they're already at the door, it's rude to ignore them." "I'm not expecting anyone, don't open it!!!", she cried, almost yelling. ** "Really, you're silly. I'm a martial artist, if they're here to cause trouble, I'll turn them away!" He reached for the doorknob. "RANMA! DON'T-" He opened it.... "Oh... hi Akane." -=-=- Ukyou looked at the hard-faced, man-like Akane, standing at the door dressed in a gi. She felt her entire universe begin to collapse around her. "Get out of my home!", she yelled as she charged Akane with her giant spatula. The Akane-kun blocked the overhead blow with its forearm then proceeded to crush the huge metal utensil with one hand. Ukyou attempted a flying attack but was swatted across the room with a simple backhand slap from the Akane-kun. It laughed evily as Ukyou struggled to get up. She wiped the blood from the side of her mouth and pointed. "You! What are you doing here? What do you want!?!" "I'm here to take Ranma's heart from you, of course!" "How could an ugly tomboy, *it* like you steal his love!" "Ha ha ha ha! I'm not the tomboy! Look!" The monster pointed towards Ukyou's chest. Any trace of breasts had disappeared. She tore the front of her blouse open only to see a boy's chest. Looking up in horror, she was stunned even further. Akane now had an extremely feminine form, she had more curves than any super model could hope for, and had her arms around Ranma's neck. Ranma's arms were about Akane's waist and the two were locked in a passionate kiss. -=-=- "Honneey, I'm home!" "Oh, darling! You're home early!" "Well my last two check-ups canceled so, here I am!" "Oh, oh, let me get you're coat... sit down, sit down, dinner is already prepared, piping hot." "Hmm, looks delicious." "It's all Italian. Spagetti and tomato sauce, breadsticks, garlic bread, Caesar salad, lasagna-" "Yes, yes, it's all wonderful... but I don't see how the two of us can possibly finish all this food." "Oh, we'll save the leftovers for Mr. Saotome and Ranma, they will finish nearly anything. Eat, eat." Kasumi waved her hand, gesturing toward the heaping plate of pasta in front of him. Tofu looked at it, grinned, then begun to dig in. "Mmm, this is great. Uh, aren't you going to have som-..." Tofu's next fork-full missed his mouth entirely, hitting his chin, and falling into his lap. He didn't even notice. Instead, he watched as his beautiful wife, Kasumi, ate a breadstick. For some reason, Kasumi's dress was hanging off her shoulders showing ample cleavage. Her face glistened with sweat and her face was in an erotic, pouty expression. Her left hand was underneath the table doing something rather obvious while in her right, she held the breadstick. Nibbling on the end, Kasumi continued to stare passionately into the eyes of an awe-struck Tofu. She then began sliding it smoothly in and out of her mouth obscenely. Tofu was getting very excited. Kasumi took it out, pointed it straight up and licked its length slowly. Still transfixed by the scene, Tofu watched as Kasumi then turned it upside down, pointing it down. She gave him a questioning look, and he nodded numbly. Kasumi brought the breadstick under then table then slowly- Tofu shook his head and looked up. Before him was perfect, prim, and proper Kasumi picking sparingly with chopsticks at her salad. Kasumi looked up at him with a concerned look on her face. "Tofu-love, what's the matter? You seem tense.... Okay, I know what to do." She got out of her seat, walked behind him, and began to administer a shoulder rub. Tofu sighed and sat back in his seat to enjoy it. Kasumi's hands then began to work their way down his sides to his legs and finally to his feet. Tofu swung his legs around so that she could better massage his feet. Her hand's worked magic as they relieved tension by striking therapeutic pressure points. "Oh Kasumi, that's wonderful ** but you don't have to-" Again, Tofu was greeted by another shocking image. Looking down, Tofu found Kasumi at his feet... or more precisely, between his (now naked) thighs. A completely nude Kasumi was desperately taking his erect manhood into her mouth repeatedly. This was too much for the poor doctor. "Ohhh, ohhh, Kasumi- darling- I-I feel- it- coming.... I-" -=-=- "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Ukyou bolted upright in bed, sweating and breathing heavily. She immediately looked down and felt for her breasts and breathed slightly easier when she found them intact. After she had calmed down a bit, she examined the meaning of her dream. Akane's masculinity was her advantage while Ukyou's was her disadvantage. She would have to appear softer, more feminine to try to appeal to Ranma. Ranma was constantly assaulted by violent women, but it was the gentle touch that would win his heart... it had to be, Ukyou was sure of it. With Akane as her only real obsticle (sure Ranma make love to Kasumi, Nabiki, and Hinako... but he really only cared about her and Akane) she found herself in a panicked race to win Ranma from Akane. It was like it always had been except this time the stakes were upped. It wouldn't be a matter of the better cook or person... but of the better lover. She made the decision... tomorrow, she would begin her move on Ranma. -=-=- "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Dr. Tofu bolted upright on his futon, sweating and breathing heavily. He sat there a moment, panting, then looked with disgust at the sticky, white mess in his palm. He wiped it off on a sheet and cursed silently to himself. For years, he had been dreaming of marrying Kasumi. He longed for her companionship and conversation day and night. He would go mad at the sight of her or even the mention of her name. But now, those dreams were being shattered. How could a sweet, innocent, beautiful flower like Kasumi ever love a disgusting pervert like himself? He didn't understand it. Up until recently, his dreams for himself and Kasumi had been as pure as snow. A family, a home, a steady income... he had not wished for much. But lately, all his fantasies were downright pornographic. Tofu hadn't had dreams even mildly stimulating since his high-school years! Now all his nights were being interrupted by wet-dreams... or nightmares, as he saw it now. He hated himself for being such a pervert. She knew too. Kasumi could somehow sense his dark secret. Her purity naturally had an aversion to evil... that's why she hadn't visited him in nearly a month. It had to be... it was the only logical reason. These kind of secrets always came out into the open if hidden long enough. Tofu had to do something... he had to cure his perversion or lose beautiful, perfect, and pure Kasumi. -=-=- "Mmm, feminine, feminine... Grrargh!!!", Ukyou slammed her closet shut in frustration. After years of pretending to be a boy, she didn't have many "feminine" items of clothing or manners... she wasn't even sure what "feminine" was anymore. "Argh... what do girls wear, they wear dresses, skirts, makeup... uh, panties, bras, garter-belts, and stockings-", she blushed at her line of thought then grew more frustrated when she realized she didn't own any of those items. "Ah, who cares what girls wear! I should care what guys, Ranma specifically, *want* girls to wear...." Ukyou drew from her experience, listening to "guy talk" as they "scoped babes" as a fellow "guy" in disguise. Ukyou thought about it a bit a realized that guys didn't want girls to wear anything! But when they did admire a girl's attire, it was when there was less of it... or when it was tight... or when it was small and tight. "He wants small and tight, I'll give him small and tight!" Searching her closet with new hope and inspiration, Ukyou came across a white shirt, a boy's uniform. Ukyou stripped, then tried to put the shirt on... it wouldn't button, but she was able to tie the shirt tails together to make it hold. "Hmm, needs 'less'...", Ukyou ripped the sleeves off the shirt and put it back on her bare top. The outline of her nipples showed through the white fabric. She had always bound her breasts so she never needed a bra, thus never bought one. With her chest bound, she might have fitted the shirt just fine, but with her expansive breasts free, the shirt was constricting, small, revealing, and tight... it was perfect. Now for a bottom. "Dress pants, dress pants, dress shorts, dress pants, dress shorts... doesn't seem to be much else.", Ukyou mumbled to herself. She again decided to improvise. Taking a pair of dress shorts she estimated where the girls' gym shorts would end, then went a few inches higher, and ripped the legs off the shorts. Trying them on, without any panties (she didn't own any... she did own boxers, but those would be larger than the modified shorts), she checked herself in the mirror and smiled. She was revealing way too much, she was nearly revealing her entire bottom and what the top covered, was transparent. Ukyou was happy with herself... how could Ranma possibly resist? -=-=- "COME BACK HERE YOU PERVERT!!!" The dripping wet woman, wrapped in a towel, threw various appliances and large objects at the scared boy. "Please! I'm sorry, I'm just looking for Furin- OOF!!", said Ryouga as the toaster nailed him in the stomach. That gave the furious woman time to rush up and repeatedly beat Ryouga. "...teach you! ...Peep on me will you?!?... Break into my home?!?" Ryouga began to lose consciousness from the blood running out of his nose (he was surprised he didn't already black out from that) and the serious thrashing this half-naked woman was giving him. His last thoughts were of how Ranma had driven him from Akane. ... "Good-bye my little P-chan!", cried Akane, while sniffling. "Akane, it's for the better, trust me...", Ranma said soothingly. P-chan glared at him a squealed madly. "I trust you... good-bye P-chan, be a good little pig, OK?" said Akane. She petted him on the head and scratched his chin one last time then allowed Ranma to take him out he front door. Once the gate shut, Ranma held the struggling piglet to his face and addressed it. "Listen up, pork-breath. I'll honor our agreement, I won't tell Akane who you are, so she won't think any worse of you... but I love her and she loves me, so she won't be thinking any higher of you, P-chan or Ryouga!", P-chan struggled to rip Ranma's face off, "Now I could banish you... with your sense of direction I wouldn't have to enforce that kind of exile... but you have as much right to live here as I do so I'll let you stay..." After his little speech, Ranma covered P-chan's eyes with his bandanna and after a minute or two let him go. By the time P-chan got the bandanna off his eyes, Ranma was long gone. P-chan looked about. And thus P-chan started on his journey.... ... He would get back Akane too. And he would too... as soon as he regained consciousness. -=-=- "So there's nothing you can do?" Ranma sounded desperate, while Dr. Tofu began to get slightly annoyed. "Ranma, you have to understand that I'm very busy... this just isn't one of my priorities. What are you doing with this kind of stuff anyway? It could be very dangerous in the wrong hands." "But I *need* an antidote!" "Why? Do you intend to use it on someone?!? Has someone been already affected by this Passion Dust?", he grabbed Ranma by the shoulders and shook him, "You must tell me if you want me to help!" Ranma stared at the floor, biting his lip. "I can't say... please! Won't you help me?" "Ranma, as a doctor, of course I'll help you. As a friend, though, I'm disappointed and hurt that you can't trust me with this. I can help you better if I can understand the situation... or the know the possible victims." "I'm sorry, believe me, I'm really sorry... but if I told you, something even worse might happen, and I just can't afford it.... But you'll help anyway?" Ranma looked up for assurance. Dr. Tofu sighed and smiled slightly. "Yes, yes, I'll help. I'll work on it as soon as possible but I still have to get these things done." "Man, thanks! You don't know what this means to me! Uh... say, Kasumi hasn't been around here lately, has she?" "Ah what? Kasumi?-", Dr. Tofu's glasses fogged up for a split second then went back to normal, he shook his head sadly, "Uh, no... unfortunately, she hasn't been by... has she been busy?" "Uh yeah, that's it, great, fantastic, thanks, bye!" As Ranma left, he wondered what Dr. Tofu would think if he knew how much of a slut Kasumi was in her current state. -=-=- "Hi Ranma-honey!", Ukyou said as she assaulted one of his arms and clung to it with a vise-like grip. She smiled widely and gazed up into his distracted face. "Huh? Oh, hi Ukyou....", Ranma didn't turn to face her and continued to walk forward, deep in thought and hands in pockets. "So how are you doing?", said Ukyou, attempting small talk. "Hm? Uh, fine." Ukyou was getting frustrated... here she went to all this trouble to dress up for him, and he wasn't even noticing her! She tried a more direct approach. "Ranma, do you notice anything different about me?" She put on a smile that was dripping with sweetness. Ranma gave her a cursory look and continued to look forward. "Umm, lost weight?" Ukyou was getting majorly irritated. She hit him, hard, on the arm... but he still didn't seem to notice. "No! Guess again!" "New hairdo?" "Not quite, try again." "Grew taller?" "Next." "I don't know! I'm sorry, my mind's not really on this right now... hey Ukyou, do you happen to know any guys, Nabiki's age that she likes or like her?" "...Nabiki? Hey, what about me?!? My clothes, dammit, look at my clothes." Ranma stopped walking and looked. Ukyou stepped back a bit then spun around so that he could see *everything*. For a moment, Ranma seemed interested... *but*.... "Hmm, very nice... uh, won't you get chilly? I mean, wearing so little and all." , Ukyou mentally screamed, As if to answer a man on a bike passed by the couple and turned his head around to whistle, running into another male, that was equally distracted by Ukyou's attire. The two crashed onto the sidewalk and watched Ukyou walk away, even while wounded and tangled together. ! But what about Ranma?> "No, I won't." "Eh?" "I said 'No, I won't.' Are you listening?" "What?" "I'll never be cold as long as I am close to the one I-I- l-l- ** v-v ** love!" "Sorry, what?" "Love!" The light went on in Ranma's head and he suddenly got excited. "That's it!" "Huh?" "Ukyou, you genius! I could kiss you!", Ranma laughed and grabbed Ukyou by the shoulders. "Oh Ranma!", said Ukyou, closing her eyes... waiting... Ukyou half opened one eye and peeked out to see Ranma running down the street waving without turning around to look at her. "Thanks Ukyou!!!", he yelled back. "Bye.", whispered Ukyou as a tear rolled down one cheek... not realizing that she had helped Ranma figure out that he could pair Nabiki up with the one thing she loved most in the world... Money. -=-=- "Hurry Sasuke! It must be ready for my Pig-tailed Goddess as soon as possible! My heart doth swoon at the time we spend separated! Hurry Sasuke, hurry!" "Here, Master Kuno?" "No, you bumbling dolt! The arrangement must be exactly to my ingenious specifications... the sheer poetry of my masterpiece must be conveyed exactly as I see it!" "Of course. Forgive me, Master Kuno! Here?" "No, NO, *NO*! Ah, why is genius always surrounded by such idiocy? Look! It goes there, there!... No, there!" -=-=- ** ** ** Ukyou got up off the curb and wiped her puffy eyes, she didn't want to be embarrassed in front of whomever was coming. She brushed her hands through her hair and straightened what clothing she wore. "BAKUSAITENKETSU!!!" ** Ryouga came through the wall, panting and kneeled over with exhaustion. Looking up he saw a stunning girl so lewdly dressed that he began to feel a trickle of blood run down one nostril... then he realized it was Ukyou. Ukyou looked at the poor boy and began to laugh madly... Ryouga had on a light, Spring, flower-print dress and had a bra dangling on his head and pink, lacy panties about one ankle. Ryouga stared at her with a dirty look, so Ukyou attempted to control herself. Almost getting control, Ukyou wiped the tears of laughter from her face and bent over to talk to Ryouga. "Mhummm- ha ha- How- hehe- aaaaamm", she bit her lip and concentrated her self-discipline, "How?-" Ryouga cut her off. "-Don't!... Don't ask... Let's just say, I got lost again... Grrr! I could be in the safety of Akane's arms... but NO!! Rrwrw!! This is all Ranma's fault! I'll kill him! I'll- ** -OW!" "Leave Ran-chan out of this! It's not his fault that you have the directional sense of a cabbage!" "Owww, that hurt!", Ryouga whined, "It *is* his fault that I can't be with Akane, the one I l-l-..." "Love?", Ukyou finished, "Here, sit down... You really like her, huh?" Ryouga balked at the question... he wasn't one to talk about feelings, but for some reason he felt at ease talking to Ukyou. "Um, yeah, I guess." "Why? ...I mean, what makes you like a girl?" Now Ryouga was getting really uncomfortable. But he had to answer the question, after all, if he couldn't explain why he loved Akane to himself, how would he ever tell her? "Well, she's cute... hm, she's caring... she has a love of animals... ah-..." Ryouga stumbled realizing his reasons sounded lame and could be applied to almost any cute girl. "Animals? What does *that* have to do with anything? Hmm... Ryouga, are you sure you don't like Akane just because she's engaged to Ranma? You know, with all your competition and all." "WHAT!?! Of course not! I mean it's impossible!", Ryouga yelled. But the damage of Ukyou's question had been already done. "Alright then, what is it about her?" "I don't know! No, I do know. I mean- I mean... guys, they like pretty girls but... they want more, you know?" Ukyou nodded and encouraged him to continue. "They want a kind-hearted, sweet, girl who will listen to your problems and tell you everything's going to be all right... they want a girl that will make them forget all the cruelties of this miserable world and give them a reason to live... well, actually, I can't speak for all guys, but that's what I want... I guess." Ukyou sat slightly awe-struck at how much Ryouga had just opened up to her. "You see all that in Akane?" "Yeah, of course." "And you love her for that?" "I guess." "Even if she doesn't ever love you back?" "....I-... I think I will always love her...." "You know, you and I are a lot alike, we both love people who might never love us back, but we don't care." They sat there in silence for a moment... reflecting. Then Ukyou broke out into mad laughter. "What!? What's so funny?" "I just had one of my deepest talks with the boy who wants to kill my Ran-chan, while he's wearing a dress and a bra on his head! HA HA HA!!!" Ryouga shot her a dirty look then grabbed the neckline of the dress and was about the rip it off when Ukyou stopped him. "Wait! The owner might want it back... do you know where this came from? Of course not, you have no clue, have you? Well give it to me, it's a bit dusty but I can clean it up and wear it for Ranma-honey.... um, I think I'll be needing those.", Ukyou said embarrassed, pointing to the unmentionables. Ryouga blushed deeply while handing them to her. Ukyou glanced at her watch and gasped. "Oh! I've got to go! Thanks for the talk Ryouga... and the clothes, we've got to do this again sometime!", she kissed him on the forehead and ran off, "Bye!" "Uh... bye.", said Ryouga, still dumbfounded by the kiss. -=-=- Ranma paused outside Nabiki's room and listened to the murmurs inside. ** "Nabiki? Hello? May I come in?" There was the sound of movement then a click as the door unlocked. "Sure, Ranma, come in and join us... just be sure to lock the door behind you, okay?" Ranma walked in and his jaw dropped wide open at the sight of Kasumi and Nabiki on Nabiki's bed.... Ranma thanked the heavens that the elder Tendo sisters still believed in "quality" time together. "Uh, Nabiki... I just was kinda wondering if you would be interested in going out on a... well, uh, a blind date with a- uh- 'friend' of mine. I mean, Akane and I, we could double with you guys if you accept." "Hm, I don't know... going 'blind' into something sounds awfully stupid. Is he cute?" "The girls swoon all over him." "Is he younger than me? I won't date a younger guy-" "He's older." "He rich?" "Yup." "Smart?" "He's well versed in literature..." "Hm, I don't really like smart guys." "Well he's not terribly bright, either." "Sounds like a geek... he's not a pussy-cat is he?" "Nope, he's as brave as he is stupid- oops!- I-" "This guy sounds profitable... okay, I'll go out with him... for five thousand yen." "Five thousand?!? For what?!?" "My fee-" "The guy practically sells himself! He's really rich if you want to know... I thought I was doing you a favor! Forget it then!", Ranma started to leave then turned around, "Two thousand." "Four thousand five hundred." "Nothing, but the date's my treat." "Four thousand and your treat." "You got to be kidding! Movie and dinner, my treat." "Movie, dinner, your treat, and two thousand yen... that's my final offer." "Nabiki, I'm nearly broke!", Ranma whined. "New deal then. Dinner, your treat. And...-" "And?" Nabiki smiled evily "Oh no! Please! Com'on, it gets to be too much!!" "We have a deal?" "Yeah.", conceded Ranma, defeated. He stood there and allowed Kasumi and Nabiki to begin to strip him. -=-=- Only a hour or two later, a depressed and rumpled Ranma was allowed to leave the room. The two girls lay, naked, on their backs and talked as they stared at the ceiling. "You think he knows?" "That we spike his food with the Passion Fever Dust? No, I don't think so... remember last time he found out? He would be too angry to hide it if he knew." "It's just trace amounts anyway..." "Yes, it makes him a more active participant... he doesn't like it as it is, can you imagine if he wasn't on the Dust?" -=-=- Ranma stepped out into the garden for some air and to be alone with his thoughts. Ranma bumped into a lamp-post and looked up. He was standing in front of Ukyou's oknomiyaki restaurant. In his semi-depressed state it didn't really bother him that only minutes ago, he had been in the garden. , Ranma thought as he pushed the door open and walked in. -=-=- "Wow, it fits perfectly. Just a few adjustments-", Ukyou looked in the mirror and tugged at the waistband to get the hem-line to go up and pulled the neck-line down a bit, "-ah, perfect!" Ukyou spun in front of the mirror, causing her skirt to float upwards, and winked at herself. She was about to practice poses when the shop bell rang. "Oh, a customer!" Ukyou ran out and gasped when she saw that it was Ranma. She ran back inside. "Hello? Anybody here? Ukyou?" Ukyou checked her hair once more and smoothed out her dress and exited nervously. "Oh h-hi Ranma?" Ranma gloomy face cheered a bit and smiled. "Hey Ukyou! New dress? It looks really nice on you.", Ranma checked to make sure that he wasn't crazy... did he just freely give a compliment? Meanwhile, Ukyou heart fluttered at the compliment. "Thanks Ranma, you know, I wore this just for you..." "Uh -gee -well thanks for the thought... I guess. Um, I'm kinda here to make reservations for four tomorrow night, here... is that okay?" "Of course! Anything for you Ranma-honey. You'll get the best seat in the house!", then it occurred to her, "Hey, who are you bringing?" "Oh, it'll just be me, Akane, Nabiki and Kuno." Ukyou breathed a slight sigh of relief. Ukyou then noticed that Ranma reverted to his glum state. "Ran-chan... is something wrong?" "Hm? Oh, me? Nah, everything's fine." When Ranma noticed that she had noticed, he forced a weak smile that died off in a few seconds. Ukyou called on her previous experience with Ryouga. "Sit tight. I'll close up shop and we'll talk... something's bothering you. I don't want you to ever be troubled Ran-chan." Somehow, Ukyou's words and voice were soothing and Ranma decided to stay. -=-=- Hours later, Ranma and Ukyou were rolling on the floor laughing. As they talked, Ranma grew more and more aware of what a good friend Ukyou was and how easy it was to talk to her. Ukyou's admiration for Ranma grew deeper as well. Ukyou began to realize the power of allowing people to express their troubles. She didn't want to risk it but she decided to move the subject on to more sensitive stuff. "Ranma, would you tell me how good I was at making love?", Ukyou asked. Immediately Ranma was silent as he glared at her. Ukyou moved back slightly as she felt his anger. Ranma shook with an inner rage and pointed. "H-How *DARE* you!" He got up and began to circle her. "Ran-chan, what? I'm sorry! What did I do?" "You're just like all the rest of them! You slut! Why can't you leave me alone!", he was screaming at her. Ukyou started crying and begged him to stop. "Please! No! I don't understand! Ranma!", Ukyou sobbed, while clutching him. Ranma stopped and looked down at Ukyou and looked away in shame. "Aw shit, what have I done?", he muttered under his breath, "Ukyou, shhhh, it's okay. I'm sorry. You're not like them, you wouldn't do something like that, shhhh." He put his arms around her and calmed her until she stopped. "I-I- just wanted to ** know..." "Sorry... of course, I'll tell you anything you want to know. Just answer this... why?" "I-I'm... inexperienced..." Ranma flushed. "Oh. ... I see. What exactly do you want to know?" "How can I improve?" "But why do you want to improve?!" "Because... because I want to be the best I can be for you... I want you to want me.", Ukyou said quietly. "Wha- ..." "You- you had sex with all of them... but I-" "They are cursed, an addiction to a drug...-" "You like it?" "No! My body responds- they are attractive women... but I don't love them. Uchan, listen to me... sex does not equal love, do you understand? I don't want to- but I have to- my body responds but I hate it! They don't see me as a person, they use me to masturbate themselves! Do you understand? Sex doesn't equal love." "Do you love me?" Ranma looked at her and then it struck him... she did love him. He always thought it was some silly crush or competition between her and Shampoo or something her father told her to do to keep her busy. But it wasn't any of those things... his friend... Uchan... she was in love with him. Even after that time together- he never dreamt- Ranma felt sorry for what he had to say... he owed her the truth. Ranma stared at her for a long time then looking at his feet he answered. "No... Uchan, no.", he whispered. Ukyou began to cry earnestly now. Then suddenly stopped. She seemed to have a new resolve and a glint of madness. "You don't love them either-" "I love Akane!" Ukyou didn't seem to hear him and continued. "-yet they still excite you... could I arouse you?" "Ukyou, you're my friend!" "A *woman*!" She started toward him. "Ukyou... I just don't think of you that way." Ukyou sniffed as the tears continued to flow down her face. "What do you mean 'that way'! I'm a woman you jerk!", Ukyou tore open her blouse, baring her breasts to a shocked Ranma, "I love you! Can't you see that?!?" "Ukyou, please...." "Take me!!!", cried Ukyou, throwing herself upon him. Ukyou pushed him on his back and ripped open his shirt. Straddling him, she forcefully kissed him fully on the mouth. "Ukyou! Mmmmph! Ukyou please- Mgurglphf! Ukyou STOP!", Ranma nearly shouted pushing back a desperate, sobbing Ukyou. "What's wrong with me?!?", Ukyou sobbed, pitifully, "Am I that ugly?" Ranma's face softened and he knelt down next to Ukyou, wrapping his arms around her. Kissing her on the forehead, he cradled her in his arms, rocking her back and forth. "Uchan... you're one of the most beautiful woman I've ever met, one of the kindest, strongest, and smartest." Ukyou stopped sobbing and listened intently, sniffling now and then. "You're a great cook, a good friend, and an accomplished business woman. You're loyal, independent, and loving... the perfect girlfriend, the perfect wife... I'm crazy not to love you... the only thing is... you're not Akane. Ukyou, understand that there is nothing wrong with you... it's just that I love Akane. I know, she's temperamental, judging, and a horrible cook, but I love her anyway, that's how love works." Ranma didn't know it, but he had just hurt Ukyou further... in her mind he was saying that all the things that made her special didn't matter, making her even more worthless. She began to cry yet again. Ranma stroked her back, rocked her, and kissed her head all in attempts to calm her. As he did this, a rush of heat went through his body. He tingled all over, his ears burned, and he began to sweat. Ranma became acutely aware of Ukyou's bare chest against his, the smell of her hair, tears, and sweat, and how much he was hurting her... somehow, he knew he had felt this before... he had to stop it before- he dismissed the thought... all he wanted to do was make everything better.... He allowed the Fever to take over. -=-=- Tofu Ono yawned and stretched out accidentally knocking over a small bottle which fell open, its contents spilling into the cage containing the hamster which he had been experimenting the Passion Fever Dust on. "Oops, better clean up the- What in the-?!?" The hamster's hair was sticking up on end and a strange yellow aura surrounded the little beast. It's eyes widened as it got shocked by blue electric field coming from itself. It let out a high pitched squeal then calmed. Dr. Tofu knelt down to get a better look. The curled up hamster's eyes became evil-looking glowing red slits. The rodent growled like a feral predator then let out a ki blast that sent Tofu reeling. The glowing hamster flew out of it's cage and hovered in front of Tofu, hissing, preparing for the kill. Luckily, Dr. Tofu just happened to have the cure for the Passion Fever Dust ready. He sprayed the super rodent and it squealed terribly as if a demon was leaving its body then fell to the ground trembling. Armed with the cure, Tofu tried to see what triggered the phenomena. First examining the spilled powder. "Hmm, Rylagia pollen... rare, South African flower with black petals." Dr. Tofu took a pinch and sprinkled it on the hamster... nothing happened. He took a little more and tried again with no result. "Must be something else..." Looking around, he saw that the hamster cage was next to a special order fish. A patient of his wanted a continual source of ki, so he had discovered a species of battle fish that fought continually producing an infinite amount of battle aura... but that patient had said that she had found her own cure so he kept the fish for future use. "Maybe..." He moved the hamster back to its cage a added the pollen again. The hamster began to glow again so Dr. Tofu promptly sprayed it, the yellow aura died out. "Battle aura and Rylagia pollen... I better tell Ranma about this just in case." He picked up the phone. "Hello? May I speak to Ranma? ...He's not home? Do you know where he is, it's important. ...No? Thanks anyway, tell him I called. I want to speak to him right away." Tofu hung up. -=-=- Ranma held Ukyou closer and began moving his kisses down her brow to her eyes, kissing away the tears, to her nose and then, ever so lightly, he touched their lips together and held it for a moment. He arched his back and began to work his way down her neck and paused. Ranma pushed her back gently and moved his hands to her torn dress. He slid the fabric off her breasts and off her shoulders, exposing her entire top. Ranma marveled at the beauty before him and slid his hands up and down Ukyou's sides. Ukyou was confused, she had no idea what was happening yet she wanted it to happen so badly. In the back of her mind she recognized Ranma's behavior as Dust induced... but she feared facing up to that truth. If she didn't have Ranma, what was left for her. From their first time she remembered little... heavy dosages of Dust tended to scramble one's memory. This time she wanted to remember everything clearly. She concentrated on recording every sensation. Ranma leaned forward and kissed around her right nipple then took it into his mouth, teasing it gently with his tongue and softly pressing it with his lips. Ukyou held her breath. Ranma moved to her left breast, and taking in only the nipple, repeated the teasing. Ukyou felt herself begin to get very hot. Between her legs came a great urging and tingling... it felt strange... slightly damp? She didn't want to risk breaking the spell that seemed to be on Ranma, though, so she froze. Ranma's glazed over eyes stared at her breasts for a moment. Then he reached up and cupped them, squeezed them, and massaged them. Ukyou let out a gasp and bit her lip trying to hold the moans that threatened to escape. He pushed Uchan onto her back and spread her knees. Reaching under her skirt he slid his hands along her thighs until he reached her thin waist. Ranma moved his fingers between the inside of her thighs rubbed the moist outside of her panties with both his thumbs. This time, Ukyou could not hold back her cry and she moaned loudly. She watched as Ranma removed her damp panties and pushed them to her ankles. Ukyou instinctively half-crossed her legs and rubbed her thighs together. When she opened her eyes, she nearly panicked, seeing Ranma standing up, thinking that he was leaving. But he merely stood there, smiling, and dropped his trousers. Ukyou sat up and knelt before him, gazing up. Ranma held out a hand, which Ukyou put her's into, then he guided it to his clothed member. Amazed at its size, Ukyou grasped it with two hands and massaged it through the silk boxers. Ranma's eyes were shut and his head was back. She moved along to its tip, where she felt a slightly damp spot. Ranma undid his boxers and allowed them to fall to the floor as well, giving Ukyou an unobstructed view of his manhood. Ukyou studied it intently, examining its textures, heat, and smell. She fondled it, played with his balls and pubic hairs until she was comfortable with its presence. She then lay on her back, spread her legs widely, and waited. Ranma got down between her legs and guided his shaft into her glistening slit. Half-way in, Ukyou was already beginning to moan. Ranma eased himself in and out with a steady, slow rhythm. Ranma stopped causing Ukyou to bite her lip in anticipation... then thrust deeply and hard, breaking Ukyou. She cried out in pain and bit her lip too hard, causing it to bleed a bit. But her scream where quickly replaced by Ranma's soft grunts and her deep moans. Ukyou's fears dissipated and she began to move, naturally, against him, bucking her hips to counter each thrust allowing Ranma to penetrate deeper. Ranma savored her tightly clenching muscles around his hard erection until he decided to bring them both to an orgasm. Fondling her breasts while using them for support, Ranma pounded harder and faster into Ukyou's tight sex. For the time, Ukyou's world existed of only two things, her breasts and her vagina. Both were being assaulted by a battery of pleasure she never knew was possible. Suddenly she stiffened, and gasped as a river of untapped honey gushed forth. The ecstasy washed over her entire body nearly drove her to tears. Ranma came quickly after that and that caused Ukyou to cum a second time in rapid succession. Somehow Ranma was driven somewhat back to his senses for a moment. asked his feminine side. <*I* care!!! You stop that right now or I'll-> But his animal side was jolted back into dominance by Ukyou's latest cry. "We're not done? Oh yes! OH *YES*!!!" Ranma's increased endurance allowed him to continue please Ukyou, even after release. Much later, Ukyou fell unconscious with ecstasy, but Ranma continued to make love to her until, finally, his body collapsed out of exhaustion. -=-=- The first beams of sunlight broke the night as the early sun began to rise. Ranma began to stir. He unconsciously began to kiss Ukyou on the head. He moved her leg from around his waist and pulled his sticky member from her body. He snuggled tighter and wrapped his arms about her. Ranma let out a sigh of contentment. The full realization of what he allowed to occur hit him. He had fallen to his bodily lusts again and this time there was no excuse for it! How would he explain this to Akane? Ranma needed to think, but more importantly, he needed to get away first. He got up off the floor and scrambled to collect his clothes. Ranma put them on hastily and made sure that Ukyou was decently covered then left a note to Ukyou. After what he had done he could not face her, not just yet, but he knew the consequences where inevitable. -=-=- Ukyou's murmured and felt for her lover next to her only to find her side empty. Her eyes fluttered open. "Ran-chan? Ranma? Ranma, where are you?" She looked about the room to find it empty except for a card, standing up on the nightstand. She picked it up and read. "Dear Uchan, I'm sorry to leave but I had to. We've done something terribly wrong. I can't see you right now but we need to talk later. I'll call you. With My Deepest Apologies, Ranma Saotome." Ukyou was floating on Cloud Nine so the note didn't quite get its message across to her. Ukyou got up and stretched her gloriously naked body in the light. Just as she was going off to the bathroom to clean up- "Akane?!? Akane, you home?!?" "EEEEKK!!!", yelled Ukyou as she bashed and unsuspecting Ryouga with a giant spatula, "Oops! It's only you... sorry." "Eh? Ow!", said Ryouga as he rubbed his head, "Sorry Ukyou, I was trying to- aaaawhaa- awwhhaaaa-" Ryouga had looked up and received an eye-full. Ukyou was totally naked; clutching a giant spatula and a sheet to her chest. The sheet didn't cover much, her elbow covering a more sensitive area, and her smooth thighs exposed on either side of the sheet. Ryouga could feel his consciousness slowly drift away as the warm trickle of blood flowed out his nostrils. Then pain. Sharp bursts of it, across his face, began to bring him back to reality. "Hey stop that!", Ukyou said as she slapped him back and forth with a normal sized spatula. She wrapped the sheet around to make herself more presentable. "What's that? Oops, heh heh. Um, sorry to bother you... where's the Tendo Dojo?" "Why should I even bother telling you? You'd probably just end up back here the instant you step out that door... Why do you want to go there anyway?" "Well- I guess- Our talk made me realize how much Akane means to me. I have to fight for her! I'm going to challenge Ranma, once and for all, for Akane!!!" He was shaking his fist and his eyes were lifted towards heaven... Ukyou only shook her head and muttered. "Oh brother." "What?!?" "You like Akane?" "Of course!" "Then don't fight *Ranma* for her-" "What then?!? I'll fight dragons, griffins, evil spirits, even Happosai! Anything!!!" "No don't fight anything! That only makes her seem like a possession to you. You like her, you go to her... you tell her how you feel." "W-what... can't I just fight the dragons?" "Ryouga, listen, tell Akane how you feel. It works, believe me, I know." "But-" "I shouldn't tell you this but... I told Ranma how I felt about him... and, well, we had- we had a moment." "A moment?" "Yes, like a moment together... you know?" "You mean-?" "Yes, that kind of moment." "Ukyou, that's wonderful news!!!" "Isn't it?!" "Ranma can't possibly claim to be engaged to Akane now!" "Watch it, Ryouga", Ukyou threatened, "don't you sully my future husband's name!" "I won't need to, that was that extra bit of confidence I needed! Nothing can stop me now!!!" "Then go get her, Prince Charming!" "Thanks a lot Ukyou, bye!" Ryouga left with a heart of a lion and the directional sense of a cabbage. But despite his new-found courage and resolve to finally capture Akane for his own, his last thoughts as he left Ukyou's restaurant were of Ukyou... -=-=- Ranma sat on the bed and put his hand by her face. "Akane? Akane, I have something to tell you.", he whispered. "Huh- wha- Oh. Ranma... where were you last night?" Akane smiled warmly at him making his task so much more difficult. He buried his head in her lap and cried. "Akane, I'm a horrible pervert!" "Wha-? Ranma, not again! What, or should I say *WHO*, have you done?!" Her first reaction, as usual, was to get very, very angry. "I-I- Ukyou-" "Ukyou!!! Baka!!! I used to respect her but now she's not much more than that Shampoo, slut! I thought we explained everything to her, I thought she understood! And *YOU*!! You pervert!!! Isn't there any woman you won't fuck?! I can't believe this!!! First you and Hinako!!! Now you and Ukyou!!! Don't we mean anything, Ranma? I thought-", she managed to gain control somehow... things were different now, she had to think and act differently too, "I-I'm sorry... please, tell me everything." And Ranma did. -=-=- Akane shook her head sorrowfully, "Ranma... you've done a terrible thing-" "Forgive me, I'll make it up to you! I promise!" "No Ranma, not to me, to Ukyou... Ranma, her very existence revolved around you since she was a child! You broke her heart. You destroyed her dreams of happiness and extinguished all her hope." "I had to tell her the truth, I owed it to her!" "Yes, I understand... had you left it at that, she would have realized how silly her obsession was, she would have moved on, gained new dreams and a new hope-" "..." "You wanted to heal her? But instead you've caused her to cling to a devastated dream... she'll never be happy..." "A-Akane... w-what have I done? What can I do?" "I don't know Ranma... I-" "RAANNNMMAAAA!!!!" "Ryouga!", Akane gasped. "Get out of here, Ryouga! I'm in no mood to fight." "I'm not here to fight!", Ryouga said approaching. Ranma assumed a battle stance but Ryouga walked past him to Akane. He took one of her hands into his and knelt down before her. "A-Akane... I've been meaning to tell you this for a long time-" "What you plan on telling her, P-chan?", Ranma smirked. "SHUT UP RANMA!!! Akane... I l-l-uh-v-v- I l-l-" "Loath?", Ranma prodded. "Grrr!", out of anger he yelled, "AKANE TENDO, I LOVE YOU!!!" "Oh Ryouga....", she turned her head away from his hopeful face. A tear escaped. "Ryouga, I don't love you. I can't." Ryouga could feel his heart shatter and the pain of its sharp splinters tear his insides. All his worst nightmares were becoming realized. He curled up into a shuddering ball. "Ryouga, I'm sorry, I love Ranma." "GRAAACKKK! RRRrrrrrrr-", Ryouga cried out in pain. He sobbed and heaved on the ground as if he were having an epilepsy. "Did I kill him?", Akane asked in horror. -=-=- "Sasuke, imagine receiving a summons from my Goddess of worship to enter her sacred home!!! But it is not surprising that she would want the company of I, Kuno Tatewaki!!!" "Of course- ** -your Lordship... all the ladies, especially Akane Tendo and your Pig-tailed Goddess adore thee- ** -Master Kuno. And what timing- ** -right when you finished your masterpiece!" "Of course, Sasuke. Even Fate, herself, favors the ones who most deserve it. But we must depart! My adoring Pig-tailed Goddess awaits! Make haste, Sasuke, make haste!" "Yes, Master Kuno. Right away, Master Kuno. Not even the enormous weight of this parcel shall delay your faithful servant!" Sasuke then proceeded to get crushed under the weight. -=-=- "Just because I didn't kill him, doesn't mean you can go back to being an insensitive *jerk*!" Akane whacked Ranma. "Ow! Sorry but Ryouga's been a thorn in my side too long! I feel that I'm due some payback!" "Hasn't he suffered enough? I've broken his-" Ryouga startled the two by groaning loudly and climbing to his knees. Clenching his fists he cried. "*Why*?!? Why, Akane, why? I can understand you not loving me... yet... but *RANMA?!?! WHY RANMA?!!!" "I'm his fiancee-", she responded quietly. "NO! -Hah, Ranma, I've got you now!- You're engagement is nullified! Ranma has been unfaithful, he can't be your husband!" "What do you mean, Ryouga?" "I mean to say that he has been with another woman, in an intimate way, before you." His cheeks turned bright red as he said it. "Who?" "I can't sully her name as well-" "Who?" "Er- Ukyou." "Oh. I knew that already." "WHAT?!?!" "Ryouga... I think it would be best for you to leave and recover a bit and then we'll have to have a long, friend to friend talk-" "In other words, Bacon Boy, get lost!" "GGRRRAAARRRGGHHH!!!!! *DIE* RANMA!!!" "Ryouga no!", Akane yelled. But Ranma struck an defensive pose and grinned... this was exactly the kind of diversion he needed from his troubles with Ukyou... violence was always the answer. "Com'on, P-Chan, you want this!" Ryouga heaved with the dark energy of his sorrow. "Don't... call... me... P-CHAN!!!", he screamed as he landed a powerful blow on Ranma, which sent him through both sides of the training hall and slammed him into a tree which landed him in the pond. , thought a soaking wet Ranma-chan, "RAANNMMAA?!?!" Ryouga bashed through the training hall himself and searched for his prey. His battle aura flared when he spotted Ranma-chan, and he charged. Ranma's eyes grew wide at the on-coming beast and jumped up. The jump would have cleared Ryouga, but instead, she slammed into his expanded battle aura and was sent through a stone lantern. Ranma-chan shook her groggy head and quickly cleared the twittering birds with a few swipes. This was not good. -=-=- ** "AAYAHHHH!" "...Nineteen..." ** "OHHH!!" "...Twenty! All done you naughty little girl!" Miss Hinako put away the yardstick. Kasumi was bent over her desk with her skirt up, her panties down, and a very active vibrator jammed in her sex. She rubbed her slightly sore bottom then turned to her teacher. "Thank you Hinako-sensi for disciplining me. I will be a good student from now on." Hinako grinned. "Don't be *too* good... that wouldn't be any fun!" Now that Miss Hinako visited the Dojo, the Tendo sisters could play "games" with her. Ironically, they hadn't thought to play "Teacher and Her Students" until now. "Ugh! Ahhh AHHH AHH!!!", screamed Nabiki. Hinako turned around at the sound and Nabiki smiled up innocently at her desk. "Hands." Nabiki held out her hands. They were dampened from jamming them repeatedly into her womanhood causing her honey to flow over them. "Tsk, Tsk... Miss Tendo, what did I say about masturbation?" "Self-gratification is selfish unless shared with others." Nabiki hung her head in mock-shame and awaited her punishment. Hinako got the yardstick back out and swung it casually back and forth. "Nabiki, looks like we need to review on-" ** ** ** "DIE RANMA!!!" ** "SHIT! STOP, ASSHOLE!!!" "Hm, better get dressed... sounds like we've got visitors." -=-=- Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tic- ** Ukyou instantly regretted smashing her cute kitty clock. Using her mighty okonomiyaki flipper, she picked up the pieces and dumped them in the trash. She fidgeted with a gear for a bit then sighed loudly, puffing at her bangs. Ukyou stood up. She flicked the gear expertly, causing it to stick into a hanging cutting board, closed up shop, and left. -=-=- "Calm down, idiot!", yelled Ranma-chan as she dodge to the side. "Don't bring down the house! Akane lives here too, ya know!" The use of Akane's name allowed her message to get through Ryouga's rage... so he stopped short of doing his full Shishihokodan but he kept his resolve to kill Ranma. Ryouga shot out his foot but missed the swift Ranma. His foot went through the wall and several electric and phone cables. Ryouga pulled his foot out of the plaster and didn't seem to notice Ranma's annoyance. "Get out of the house!!!" She dodged another kick and disappeared around the hallway corner. Ryouga stormed after her but upon rounding the corner Ryouga found nothing but an empty bathroom. -=-=- "Go now, Sasuke! The Pig-tailed Goddess, of course, intends for us to be alone! I will bear this gift to her!" "I gladly give you the honor, Master Kuno!", said Sasuke as he passed the float-like statue to Kuno, who struggled under its weight. It was a statue of, who else, but Kuno, bokken held high and poetic scripture written at its base. The plaster statue was covered in and colored with various flowers. Kuno had insisted the fragile beauty of a flora arrangement and the fluid grace of poetry and the everlasting strength of stone all be a part of his masterpiece. He had gone to great lengths to acquire the exotic flowers that had the exact color of his hair... they came from... South Africa, was it? No matter. Now, at the doorstep of his Beloved he would bear this magnificent gift to her. Kuno thought his masterpiece so glorious that he had difficulty parting with it... but no sacrifice was too great for his Pig-tailed Goddess. "Oh sweet Goddess, come favor your beloved Tatewaki!!!" Kuno knocked on the door and awaited an answer. -=-=- ** Dr. Tofu put down the receiver and rubbed his chin... this was not good, fifth try and no answer... there's usually *someone* at the Tendo Dojo. Something was gravely wrong... he could feel it. Dr. Tofu decided he should see what was up. He gathered up a bag of bottles, left a note on his door, and headed toward the Tendo Dojo. -=-=- ** "Hm? Oh, someone's at the door!", smiled Kasumi sweetly, she was in her housewife mode, "I'll get it!" -=-=- Ryouga heard the knock at the door. , cried his maddened mind. He was coming through the door! , he mentally chanted. He waited for Ranma's face to appear in the doorway so he bash it inside out. -=-=- , thought Kuno -=-=- Kasumi opened the door. -=-=- "GRRAARRGHH!!!" A battle aura charged Ryouga burst forth to destroy the one entering the Tendo home. He passed Kasumi, engulfing her in his aura and smashed his fist with such power and force, charged with the ki of his Shishihokodan attack... right into Kuno's statue. -=-=- The explosion sent Kuno flying skywards and landing on his head as typical for him, and sent gravel, poetry, and bits of flowers everywhere. Ranma turned looked down from the rooftop in wonder. Ukyou, who was right outside the gate, saw the column of flowers and thought that Ranma had exploded at the florists for their ensuing wedding. Akane and Nabiki stepped outside to see what was happening. Dr. Tofu stopped running, a several blocks away, and silently cursed at the sight of the flower column... and then began to run faster. -=-=- Kasumi sneezed... then began to glow a golden aura. -=-=- Ranma dropped from the roof to see Kasumi lying on the floor of the doorway... she wasn't moving. Ranma-chan quickly moved to help her. Ukyou ran up behind Ranma. "Ran-chan, what's happening?" Ranma, out of concern for Kasumi, she ignored her. Ryouga leapt in the way, growling. "RANMA!!! NOW YOU- **" Ukyou smashed Ryouga over the head, Ranma leapt past him and struck a few key pressure points on his back to freeze him. She knelt down by Kasumi and shook her. "Kasumi? Kasumi? Are you okay? Kasumi!" Akane and Nabiki arrived. "Is she all right, Ranma?", Akane asked fearfully. "She's breathing... she'll be- AAAHHHHH!!!" Ranma couldn't finish her sentence as they were all blown back by a powerful ki attack emanating from Kasumi. Ranma blacked out. -=-=- Ranma-chan quickly recovered finding herself several yards from where she was a moment ago and her body aching all over. The front of the Tendo house was decimated and everyone was scattered about, most staggering to get up. Looking about, Ranma saw only one person standing... Kasumi. Kasumi stood in the middle of the blast area bathing in flames of pure energy. Her body was surrounded by that golden aura that made it look like she was on fire. Her hair whipped about madly and her clothes where tattered, one thigh exposed through a large tear in her dress. Kasumi's eyes glowed bright red and she had a sick smile on her face. Ranma realized that this could not be good. -=-=- "...She *looks* alright-", said Ukyou hesitantly. "If you call that 'alright' I'd hate to see what you call weird!", Nabiki interrupted. The slightly battered group huddled to view Kasumi from a distance who merely stared at them and had this expression of frozen laughter on her face. "What do we do?" "Try and talk with her?" "Okay, I'm game." Ranma broke the huddle and approached the red-eyed devil. "Hey Kasumi! You okay?", Ranma-chan yelled from a distance. Kasumi cocked her head as if she just noticed the sound and turned toward Ranma, raising one finger that began to glow brightly. Instinct told Ranma to dodge. It paid off... where she stood, seconds ago, was a patch of newly scorched earth. "Hey! What's the big idea- YAAAAH!!", cried Ranma-chan as she dodged a series of yellow beams. Akane ran forward. "Kasumi stop it! You'll hurt Ranma!" Kasumi opened her palm at Akane. There was a bright flash and Akane was blown backwards. Luckily Ryouga caught her and growled. "That's not human... it's definitely not Kasumi! We've got to stop it! How dare you attack your own sister?!?!?" "I dare not strike a fair lady, but you, Demoness are spawn of Hell!!! You have attacked the virtuous Akane Tendo, and for that you must feel the wrath of my awful blade!!!!", Kuno added. "Maybe if we take her down fast, we can find out what's wrong... Kasumi forgive me.", Ukyou said. The three attacked, Kuno leading point with his mighty bokken Ukyou and Ryouga to his sides. Ukyou threw an array of spatulas and Ryouga followed with a barrage of bandanna shurikens. The golden flame expanded, deflecting the projectiles then engulfing the attackers. The three resisted the ki blast, continuing to charge as Ryouga took out his umbrella and Ukyou her giant spatula. Kasumi sent out a second blast Kuno taking the brunt of it and Ryouga using his umbrella to shield himself and Ukyou. They were all blown back. Ryouga and Kuno landing unconscious and smoldering. Ukyou survived, having both Kuno and Ryouga as shields. "Shimatta! Akane! Nabiki! Take Kuno and Ryouga inside and stay with them... we'll handle this." "I can take care of myself!", Akane said defiantly. "Nabiki will need help dragging them in.", Ranma countered. "Nabiki's never had trouble dragging helpless men about!" Ranma cursed, she didn't have time for this. Well at least Akane was right about Nabiki... she already had them inside. "They went about it all wrong...", Hinako said, "You can't beat her with a physical attack, we need a ki one!" She drew out her 50 yen piece and shouted. "HAPPO-NO-COIN-RETURN!!!!", firing a huge beam of pure energy towards the transformed Kasumi. Kasumi was blasted back into the house and buried under the wreckage. Miss Hinako stood panting, still in her adult form (the Passion Dust's ki increase allowed her to use excess energy and still maintain her form). "That ought to do it... she couldn't have possibly- eh?" Yellow beams of light began to emanate from the rubble until Kasumi suddenly burst forth with a seemingly angry glow and floated in mid- air. The demoness spoke for the first time. "That... that *almost* hurt.", she laughed then quickly fired an energy assault against Hinako. Hinako absorbed the hit entirely, her clothes tatters yet still tactfully placed. Her teeth bared and her breathing heavy... Hinako looked mighty pissed. "That was my *favorite* yellow dress!!! You forget, Witch, that I absorb ki like a sponge! HAPPO-NO-COIN-RETURN!!!!" This time Kasumi was ready raising a shield. She seemed to flinch for a second but she waited until Hinako's attack subsided to retaliate. "So a ki attack doesn't affect you, eh? I'll just have to try a different approach..." She fired a beam which Miss Hinako deftly dodged... almost. Hinako's world exploded in light. Her eyes closed, her back arched, her head lightened and electricity spread from her thighs as she experienced the greatest orgasm of her life. Her juices flooded out, soaking her panties, as she fell to the ground, dazed. After the initial shock, her body filled with animal desire. She writhed on the ground, gripping her breasts and rubbing her legs together for any stimulus she could get. Hinako knelt on the ground with her legs apart, driving her fingers into herself, and wracking her body with orgasm after orgasm. She became a sobbing, sensual mess... useless in battle. "Like my new technique?", Kasumi smiled evily. "Ukyou! Akane! Don't let her nail you with that!" "*'Nail'*? Hmm, 'nail'... how appropriate!", she laughed again, amused by her own joke. A flash of light. Then Ranma-chan found herself nailed to a tree by her shirt. "Kasumi, no!", cried Akane. Kasumi blasted her with another ki attack, knocking her to the ground. Akane attempted to get up, groggily, then fell back down. Kasumi waved her hand and Ranma-chan was pantsless and a phallic device, composed of energy, was ruthlessly being driven in and out of her cunt. "AhAHH- U- OHH- Uky- OhAhh- Ukyou run!" But Ukyou was frozen in place like a scared rabbit. Ranma struggled not to conquered as Kasumi approached Ukyou, who couldn't seem to will herself to move. "Ahh, fresh meat... I've only had *you* once before." Ukyou broke out of her trance and tried to run but discovered that she was floating in the air. Ukyou floated higher until her crotch was level with Kasumi's face. Ukyou struggled but her movements were extremely limited... she could only move as Kasumi desired. She gasped as the demoness rubbed her face into her crotch. "P-please... don't-", she pleaded weakly. This only further excited Kasumi who pulled Ukyou's pants down to her knees. "Don't! Please! I'm not a les- ** -Ranma help!", cried Ukyou as Kasumi pushed Ukyou's panties to the side and plunged her tongue into Ukyou's womanhood. "STOP!!!", Ukyou screamed as if possessed, "NOO!!" her cries converted to sobs as Kasumi ignored her. Ukyou hung her head in shame and sorrow as she couldn't help but to respond to the stimulus Kasumi forced upon her. She came forcefully, Kasumi lapping every drop up. Her nighmare-ish experience as a sex-zombie came back to mind and wounded her. Ukyou had tried to forget... but this demoness wouldn't let her. "Leave her alone!", said Akane as she got to her feet. "Dear me! I've been such a horrible host, I selfishly kept sweet Uchan all to myself... have a taste, Sister!", said Kasumi in her normal voice, the effect sent chills down Akane's spine. Ukyou's limp, sobbing body floated in a golden sphere which launched towards Akane. Akane tried dodging but the bubble expanded so that Akane was caught inside with Ukyou. Akane moved to Ukyou, putting a hand on Ukyou's shoulder. "Are you all right?" "D-d-don't *touch* me!", Ukyou stuttered. "Enough chit-chat! This bubble will slowly begin to contract and crush you two to death if you don't begin to pleasure each other! I suggest you get started right away... give me a good show and I'll let you live for another game!" "Ukyou... Uchan... we- we have to-" "I'd rather die! I *want* to die...", she muttered wrapping her arms, tightly, around herself. "Don't be selfish! I *don't* want to die! I don't want *you* to die! Ranma doesn't want *either* of us to die!", Akane softened her voice, "I-I, we, have to... Ukyou... please... don't let me die... I want to live!" Akane removed her clothes, unabashed, in front of Ukyou and moved to Ukyou. Ukyou recoiled at the initial touch but allowed Akane to remove her clothes. "You have a beautiful body Ukyou... don't be ashamed of it. I sometimes wish I looked more like you. What we are about to do is forced upon us but we don't have to take it that way... you might be disgusted at first but I'll try to go as slow as possible... we've done this before... remember?" "I don't *WANT* to!!", Ukyou said fiercly. "It was forced upon you then and now... but you succeded in coping with it last time. Ukyou, you can do it again... please.", Akane said with pleading eyes. Ukyou hung her head but let out a slight affirmative whimper. Akane pulled Ukyou's head between her legs and climbed underneath Ukyou and between her legs. Akane hugged Ukyou's thighs and kissed the lips of Ukyou's sex. Akane moved her tongue in circles around the entrance then parted it gently by pushing her tongue in. She worked with her fingers, spreading the petals of Ukyou's flower and stimulating them. Akane began to hear Ukyou gasp and she felt Ukyou's tears flow down the insides of her thighs. Ukyou hesitantly lowered her head and kissed Akane's damp mound. Ukyou kissed it again, this time more eagerly and Akane could feel her own tears beginning to flow... she had needed this so badly. It hadn't been that long a time and she was no longer addicted to the Passion Fever Dust but it was so difficult being with Ranma then not being able to be together knowing that everyone was getting some except for herself. So she was extremely grateful for this release... she had to restrain herself from yelling, "Do it, Ukyou, do it! Tongue fuck me harder!", and scaring the poor first timer. This would be the first time Ukyou "willing" committed a lesbian act... she had be a fuck-toy before. Ukyou must have found it so disgusting to be licking another woman's slit, yet adapted quickly. Akane was glad that it was Ukyou she was sharing this with and not Shampoo... Akane paused a second to look outside the bubble. She suddenly noticed that they were high off the ground... very, very high. -=-=- Under different circumstances this might have been fun... but right now, Ranma was getting just plain angry. Ranma-chan reacted the sensation of her rape but not willingly... when Nabiki and Kasumi "raped" him before, he was always in control, he could leave at any time. But now, she struggled to free herself. Her anger and the phallic device made it nearly impossible to focus... but Akane's image flashed in her mind. Slowly, Ranma turned her anger into strength, tuning out the erotic sensations pounding her sex, and focusing on her escape. "AARGH!!!" She tore free of the nails, and her shirt, landing to the ground on her knees... the mystical shaft evaporated. Ranma looked around to see that Kasumi was floating several hundred feet above watching Ukyou and Akane, and was too distracted to notice Ranma. Pulling on Ukyou's pants and wrapping the torn shirt around as a makeshift top... Ranma-chan felt slightly better. Normally, she wouldn't care about her nudity but she didn't want to give the Kasumi-demon any ideas. "Ranma!", Tofu called, walking over the decimated front-gate. "Eh? Dr. Tofu! My God-" "Who is it?!?", Tofu cut her off shaking her roughly. "Huh? All I know is that-" "Who is it?!?" "Who *what*?!" "Who has been affected by the Dust?!?" "There's so many... me, Akane, Nabiki, Kasumi, Hinako-" "Kasumi?!?!- Dammit, I wish you had told me this earlier.", he muttered, "Nevermind. How many demons?" "Wha?- oh, just one... Kasumi." Tofu's face seemed to melt. "Kasumi? Oh no...", he held back the mist that threatened to steam up his glasses, "Where is she now?" "Up there.", she pointed. Tofu couldn't see much except for two small specks... but the thought that he might be looking up Kasumi's dress caused him to go mad. His eyes glazed over and his IQ dropped dangerously low as he began a silly dance. ** "Snap out of it!!! This is serious!!!", Ranma-chan scolded. "Ugh. Thank you.", said Tofu rubbing his face, "Yes, of course. That sample you gave me, I've been inadvertently inhaling some of it. Wait.", digging in his bag he pulled out a bottle of the Passion Dust, unscrewed its cap, poured all of it into his palm, then stuffed it all in his face... inhaling some, ingesting the rest. "What do you think you're doing?!?!!!" Tofu cupped Ranma's breasts and squeezed. "Oh, these are *nice*!" ** "HANDS TO YOURSELF!", Dr. Tofu was beginning to remind her of Kuno. "Oops, sorry... again. I have to use that hentai dust to control my madness. I'll be horribly perverted... but sane. I'm not really a fighter either, so the Dust's ki raising ability should give me a bit of added protection." "What do we do now?" "I suggest we help her.", he said pointing toward the lust filled Hinako. Tofu walked Ranma over to the masturbating teacher with his hand on Ranma-chan's butt. Ranma gritted her teeth and held in her attack... they didn't need any further delays. -=-=- Nabiki, sighed in frustration. The world was about to be destroyed and she wanted a last fuck... and here she was with two great hunks who were unconscious and at the mercy of her will... and limp. She peeked at their genitals and had to restrain a laugh at the sight of Ryouga's itty-bitty, teeny-weeny, -well you get the idea. Kuno's on the other hand was a catch... longer, but thinner, than Ranma's (her hole was tight anyway). But try as she might, she couldn't get him up, it seemed that Kuno hardened only on his command. "Well a small Willy is better than none..." Nabiki moved on the still Ryouga, fondling his asoko. Ryouga began to stir, murmuring Akane's name... then suddenly crying it out, bolting upright. Nabiki gacked, a giant sweat drop forming on the back of her head... this was graceless. Ryouga stared at the startled Nabiki, who still grasped his quickly hardening member, and decided his mind couldn't handle this.... After all, he couldn't be gushing away all his life-blood if he intended to save Akane... so he simply ignored the situation. He got up, adjusted his pants, and ran out to save Akane. "Typical guy...", said Nabiki, regaining her composure, "Not even a 'thank you'!" She silently wished she could be there when Ryouga decided to mentally face what had just happened then returned to the unresponsive Kuno. -=-=- Dr. Tofu sprayed Miss Hinako with his mixture canceling out the hentai ray that had zapped her. His 'cure' wasn't quite a cure, instead, it surpressed the feelings that the Passion Fever Dust (or any other aphrodisiac) caused. Hinako out of gratefulness began to french kiss Tofu who eagerly received the thanks. They were rolling on the ground before Ranma could break them up... just in time too, because Ryouga had arrived. Ryouga flinched slightly at the sight of Ranma's sparse top and Miss Hinako's tattered dress. Recovering quickly, he roared. "WHERE'S AKANE!?!" Ranma-chan pointed up. Ryouga looked up seeing nothing but two specks. "So what do we do?", Ranma asked. ** "YAAHHH H-H-HOTT!!: "First we get you out of that *STUPID* form!" Ryouga dowsed Ranma in kettle water. The pants stretched and the top fell off. "Ryouga's right... we need you at full strength.", Ryouga smirked, Ranma made a funny face, and Ryouga growled, Hinako bopped them both on the head. "I need to think... Miss Hinako, could you possibly put something on less -ah -distracting?" "No, I'm quite fine.", she said, completely missing the point of his request. "Nevermind. Yes... you three should be enough... just enough to hold her off." "Hold her off for what?", Ryouga demanded. "Well, typically, demons are very sensual creatures of an alternate dimension... so it only figures that a extremely hentai person combined with a bright battle aura, large ki, and Rylagia pollen (standard demon-summoning powder) would be like a signal flare for possession. A person with a strong mind can usually turn aside such an attack but a person under the influence of the Dust could be easily be manipulated through the lusts of the flesh. What you three must do is battle the demon after I excise it temporarily from Kasumi's body until I can heal her. Once she is healed, she'll have to raise her own mental defenses. Demons have short attention spans so they don't like to cling to minds they can't control..." Dr. Tofu proceeded to describe in detail his plan. -=-=- Kasumi watched gleefully as Akane and Ukyou ate each other. "Hey!", she said slightly miffed as a ki attack just missed her. Two more beams followed the third striking her squarely on the chest. Kasumi grinned. "Hah!", exclaimed Hinako several hundred feet below, "I got her! I'm a good shot, no?" She puffed at the tip of her imaginary pistol and winked at Tofu, who blushed. Ryouga held back his comment that it took her three shots to nail Kasumi. "Okay, that got her attention. Get ready! Here she comes!!" -=-=- "Hark! Sounds of battle! I must- ewweeeep", Kuno faltered in his wake-up speech when he realized he was buck-naked. "GAHHGH!!" Kuno quickly hid behind the first thing he could find... which just happened to be Nabiki. "Don't turn around!!!" "Whatsa matter Kuno-baby?", Nabiki said, obviously enjoying herself. "Give me my clothes you heathen woman!" "*What* did you call me?" Kuno gritted his teeth in attempt to humble himself. "I... said... my dear- sweet-", Kuno looked as if he would die from complementing Nabiki any further, "Nabiki. Give me- excuse me- *Please* give me my clothes!" "There... was that so hard?" she tossed him his clothes and he was instantly dressed. "*YES*.", he said... he cleared his throat and held his bokken up, "As I was saying... Hark! Sounds of battle! I must-" Nabiki grabbed then end of his bokken. "Eh?!? How dare you touch my honorable blade!?! You know that I *hate* you so very, very much... What is it you want you-" Nabiki put a finger to her lips and shushed him. She guided the wooden tip under her skirt and shifted. A strange expression came to her face and she began to pump the wooden sword under her skirt. She shuddered then wet sounds began to come from her nether regions. Kuno's eye went wide as Nabiki pulled the bokken out, wet and sticky. Nabiki smiled sweetly as if nothing had happened. "Thank you... you're bokken's nice... let's see how your asoko is, okay?" -=-=- The first blast scattered the group. Kasumi screeched like a angered banshee. "Now!", Tofu signaled. Ryouga and Hinako began alternating their ki attacks... if Kasumi dodged one she would be nailed by the other. After she was stunned by a few blows, Tofu whirled the bag of powders over his head and flung it at Kasumi. Instinctively, Kasumi shot it with a hot beam and the bag and its contents exploded in a blue mist. But its momentum let the mist continue forward until it engulfed Kasumi. The air around Kasumi began to crackle and her body twisted as she screamed. Kasumi's body fell to the ground limply as a demon, who looked like it was composed completely out of yellow lightning, left her body. The demon took a look at its attackers and growled then tried to re-enter Kasumi but was blocked by the blue mist. It huffed and puffed and blew the mist away. It grinned and prepared to dive back into Kasumi- "SHISHIHOKODAN!!!!" "HAPPO-NO-COIN-RETURN!!!!" "MOUKOTAKABISHA!!!!!" -=-=- Dr. Tofu ran up to the unconscious Kasumi. Repeated ki attacks against her body had left her clothes in a state similar to Hinako's which made it almost as bad for the hentai doctor as if he were mad. He gazed longingly at her body before snapping back to reality and the situation at hand. He would be useless to her if all he wanted to do was grope her. He had to administer the cure. Spraying himself with some of the mixture he fought back the clown-like grin that threatened to spread across his face and the clouded glasses he got whenever in the presence of Kasumi. He unscrewed the dispenser then poured the cure between her soft lips. Tofu could feel his face begin to tighten... NO! He had to hold back the madness until Kasumi woke up. "K-Kasumi... p-p-please wake up!" -=-=- The immense amount of power in the air was enough to wipe out several city blocks. The three humans and the demon engaged in a kind of tug-of-war... blasting their most powerful ki attacks seeing who's would falter first. This was the longest attack of this sort any of the three had ever mustered. Ryouga and Ranma with their ki attacks and Hinako in the center, sucking any of their wasted energy and redirecting and focusing it forward. All three knew they that they couldn't keep this up. When they failed, the enormous blast that would follow would, without fail, destroy them all. The demon laughed... it was having fun. -=-=- All was great! All was fine! He wanted to sing! He wanted to dance! He wanted to make little animals out of- ** Tofu slapped himself across the face, repeatedly, to regain his senses. He knew he couldn't last- Ya pa pa ya pa pa- Shimatta!! Tofu no baka!!! He had to do something quick... but he couldn't think, all his strength was devoted towards holding back the madness. He gritted his teeth as sweat broke out on his brow. Any moment now and he would lose all sanity. He had to do something! He kissed her... then he leapt up in search of a skeleton he could sling to his back. Kasumi's stirred, her eyes fluttered open, and her lips parted to speak. "Oh my!", she gasped. -=-=- Hinako fainted. "Shit! We need you, get up!", Ranma cursed. The demon roared in triumph as his attack started to plow through Ranma's and Ryouga's. Ryouga closed his eyes... then opened them. Nothing. He was still alive! The demon screamed then disappeared in a flash. Ranma fell to his knees but Ryouga jumped into the air. "Yahoo!! We kicked ass!!!" He looked down to where Ranma had been kneeling then looked up. Ranma was sprinting forward. then it dawned on him Ryouga begin sprinting after Ranma. -=-=- Ukyou panted. As nice as this was, she wouldn't be able to keep this up much longer. She was getting tired and cramped. They had paused a few times to take much needed breaks but that only constricted the bubble. She lifted her head from Akane's mound. "Akane, we're not going to make it." "Don't talk... lick." "Ranma really doesn't love me... does he?" "Uchan, you're one of his best friends-" "But he doesn't love me... I think I-" Whatever she might have said was cut off by a sudden flash and the explosion of the bubble. The two girls were flung apart and began to fall. Ukyou blacked out. -=-=- When she came to she had the distinct feeling she was falling. Her heart raced and threatened to leave via her throat, the wind roared past her ears, and her body was gripped with fear. Absolute terror kept her from screaming. , She thought in her last seconds of life. She looked down and somehow all her senses were enhanced. She could clearly see Ranma looking up at her and mouthing the words, "Forgive me." Ukyou understood... he would save Akane. -=-=- Ryouga ran for all he was worth. Already side by side with Ranma, all he needed was a bit more speed, a few more steps, and he would be in position to save Akane. She would be eternally grateful and she would be his at last! Then he noticed Ukyou to his right. Ranma had completely ignored Ukyou! He was still in a position to save her but that would mean losing Akane... to Ranma! But that was it, wasn't it? Losing to Ranma was worse than losing Akane. He had always liked Akane because she was nice to him... but then, Ukyou was nice to him too. In the end, he liked Akane because she was Ranma's. Despite how they acted, he knew, everyone knew, they loved each other... taking her away from Ranma would be the ultimate revenge while sweet in its own rewards. But it was all because of Ranma... he wouldn't make the mistake again. He picked up speed and headed off to catch the falling okonomiyaki cook. -=-=- Ukyou watched the ground speed up faster and faster until she couldn't bear it anymore. She closed her eyes and waited for the instant death. Suddenly, strong arms were wrapped around her as she was caught in mid-air. She threw her arms around the neck of her savior and planted a passionate kiss on his lips. She gasped for breath. "Ranma! You had- ...Ryouga?!??...", she realized. Ryouga held a beautiful, naked woman in his arms that had just kissed him full on the mouth... the collective shock of all the day's hentai (and non-hentai) events were too much. His nose became a geyser of red and he fainted. Ukyou looked over to Ranma who was cradling a weeping Akane in his arms... she wasn't sure but was Ranma crying too? She decided to leave them alone. Wrapping some makeshift clothes about herself, she dragged her "hero" home to dress his wounds. -=-=- Aha! Fate was certainly on his side! Not only had his Pig- tailed Goddess expressed interest in him but so had the honorable Akane Tendo's elder sister Nabiki... and with such enthusiasm! He would have them all: Akane, the Pig-tailed girl, Nabiki, and Hinako- sensi. After all, they all wanted him... it was only fair to give them what they wanted. Yes he would- ** ** Something hit Kuno on the head very, very hard. Much later, he regained consciousness. Kuno could not recall a single thing that had happened to him in the last 24 hours. Except for one thing... a little man falling from the heavens, right into his face. Was that a dream? Kuno didn't care, he just wanted to get home a tend to the large, unsightly bump on his head. -=-=- "So they won't remember a thing?", Ranma looked down at the sleeping forms of Nabiki, Kasumi, and Hinako-chan. "They won't remember any of the time they were under the effects of the Passion Dust.", Tofu corrected, "...and neither will I. I'm taking the amnesia potion as well. It is for the best if I want to ever become Kasumi's husband." "But they're all cured?" "They'll have a few urges, a few naughty dreams... but those withdrawal symptoms will pass and they'll all be back to normal in no time... Ranma, will you and Akane be taking the amnesia potion?" "Dr. Tofu, I... I don't want to forget." "I understand but I feel that you were forced into each other too fast. There are greater rewards with waiting..." "I don't want to forget... besides, Ukyou isn't around right now. She was mentally hurt bad by the Dust... I'll need to stick around to fix that mess, so leave me a spare dose for her." "Well it's your decision... Akane?" "I'm with Ranma." "Well then, you'll find spare antidotes in my pouch. I'll be seeing you later with a new blissful ignorance... cheers!" Tofu downed the solution and quickly fell into a deep sleep. Akane and Ranma held hands and watched them sleep for a while until Akane broke the silence. "Ranma?" "Yeah?" "Where's Ukyou and Ryouga?" -=-=- "He didn't even try...." "I've lost her forever." Then simultaneously "She doesn't love me." "He doesn't love me." They groaned in unison. Ryouga and Ukyou were sitting at a table in her restaurant. It was closed and the lights were off to amplify their depression. Ukyou looked over at Ryouga and thought that he looked absolutely pitiful. Feeling sorry for him she pulled out a large black bottle of some unknown liquid. "Here, drink this, it'll melt the enamel off your teeth and leave it on the roof of your mouth... good stuff to drown your sorrows in." Ryouga smiled slightly. "Where'd you pick up a line like that?" Ukyou smiled back. "I don't know.... I think I read it somewhere. My father drinks this stuff whenever he really has problems." Ryouga shook his head and pushed the bottle away. "I don't drink." "Neither do I.", she said, pushing the bottle back and taking out two cups. Ryouga opened the bottle and coughed at the strong smell coming from it. Out poured a thick black substance. Ryouga stuck his finger in the viscous drink and examined the residue. "Is this stuff *safe*?" "One way to find out..." -=-=- "...So I says, 'Of course I'm a pig!' HAR HAR HAR!!", slurred a red-nosed Ryouga while pounding the table at his joke. Ukyou fell off her seat and giggled. "What I can't understand is why he doesn't see me as a woman! I've got all the qualifications!", she showed her breasts to him. Ryouga squeezed one of the samples. "Ghad... whatta set! Ranma can't tell when he's gotta a catch, I tell ya...he can't tell." "Leave Ran-chan outta this Pig!" She took a swing at one of the three Ryougas she saw and picked wrong. She collapsed into Ryouga's lap. "Hey!" Ukyou squinted to make sure. "What?!", Ryouga yelled slightly. "Ranma's got one of these!", she exclaimed while grasping his stiffened member. -=-=- The next morning Ryouga woke with the most painful headache of his entire life. Wincing in pain he struggled to get up. He stumbled into a table, knocking it over. A bowl of cold left-over soup spilled on him transforming him into the piglet, P-chan. The piglet bounced drunkenly between table legs until he somehow found himself outside. Ryouga couldn't think of anything he did in the last few days... -=-=- Ukyou got up unsteadily from the floor of her okonomiyaki restaurant. She rubbed her temples trying to recall why she had such a splitting headache. The loss of several million brain-cells didn't quite help her memory... not only that, but she couldn't remember what she had been doing for the past week. Oh well. No matter... she was sure it would come to her later. Right now she needed some aspirin. Ukyou looked down and noticed that her blouse was wide open, she covered up and had the distinct feeling she did something bad that was good (or was it something good that was bad) had occurred last night. She picked up an empty bottle of "Forget Your Sorrows Sake" and examined it. "Hm... I wonder what this is doing out here?" -=-=- Soun and Genma arrived home from their trip and looked at the devastation. Soun wailed like a baby. -=-=- Ranma fell back onto his futon and looked up at the stars. It was actually kinda nice to be missing a roof. He had given up his bed to Akane... she deserved it. Everything was great. Kasumi, Nabiki, and Miss Hinako would be back to their old selves, Dr. Tofu had another chance at Kasumi, and the damages to the house would be covered. Yup, everything was fine but a few things were weird.... Kasumi seemed fine. Miss Hinako reverted to her child-like form (to the sadness of many of the teenage boys) and resumed her "normal" mentality. But Kuno stopped chasing Akane and his Pig-tailed girl... and instead opted to harassing Akane, Ranma, *AND* Nabiki. Another odd thing was that Ukyou seemed to forget their "moment" together as Ryouga, too, forgot his broken heart. The two still chased after Ranma and Akane but they often did it in pairs and seemed to have an affinity toward each other. Ah well, Ranma was sure things would sort themselves out... with Akane at his side, nothing could be wrong. Finally Ranma began to drift asleep... but wait a moment... wasn't Hentosai cursed to follow Ryouga? Hadn't Ryouga returned? Oh no. -=-=- Kasumi lay her head down to sleep... her eyes glowed green and a soft chuckle escaped her throat. It was not over. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Author's Notes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well my patient readers... you've made it to the end! This story was written based on a vague plot of adding Ukyou to Ranma's growing harem but as you can see, it didn't quite turn out that way! Instead I ended up resetting the entire cast to almost-normal... with the intention of making it easier to do whatever is to come next (The end of LP#2 made this one harder). Many things came out differently than I had expected as I wrote this on the fly (Like the *length* of stories growing exponentially!!!)... but I had much more fun doing this than I had expected. This story is significantly different in style than the 1st two, thanks to Amber. I'm playing with different types of writing now so if you like this one better (or worse) than the previous ones then I'll adjust according to comments. Many thanks to Amber for not killing me when she found this (and other fics)... and instead, helping me to write this! (I've never met a more hentai girl! ** Ow! Or violent! ** Stop it, Amber! I'm kidding!) Many apologies to Francis who did all he could to stop Ryouga from being in this FanFic. (Hey, don't worry... I *promise* to kill Ryouga in a later story!) And it has become a tradition, honor, and privilege to mention SHADE in my Notes... thanks! Special thanks to all those who comment and write in ideas and corrections. You people help my writing and when I'm "creating" your ideas are floating around in my head... the more often you write the more influence you have over the fanfic. So please send me your comments, corrections, ideas, and well-tempered flames. Well I've given you a small peek as to what's coming up in the next (or next two... if my stories get too big I'll split them) story. It's Kasumi versus Hentosai and the appearance of Ranko... and she's not who you think! Against the suggestion of several readers, and despite its shallow, pervertedness, I'm still intending to do the Violent Video Game Gals story... so if you like this idea, show your support!
