Tae H: Hey everyone. This is my first try at a yaoi Ranma one half fanfiction, so please don't kill me if it sucks too much! I wanted to try this idea so um, hope you guys can tell me what you think and well, I'll try to actually FINISH this Fanfic.
I don't own Ranma one and a half. If I DID, I'd OWN so many characters right now. Like Ryouga-sama…let a fangirl dream! …I LOVE you Ryouga fans! I'm not plotting to keep Ryouga all to myself: I promise!!!
Seriously now, to the start of the Fanfic:
A very excited-looking Shampoo had awoken that fine morning, cooking a meal that she felt would surely make Ranma appreciate her efforts at trying to make him hers.
Every morning, in fact, she would wake up and think up a delicious meal to give Ranma later in the day. However, she made it just as she woke up today, in hopes of cooking it at a slower pace so that she might add some spices that her café only had in the morning, due to the massive amount of customers that came in at 11a.m.
This was not to say Shampoo didn't like that many customers entered her grandma's restaurant on a daily basis: She still loved that publicity, as well as the compliments she received on her serving, but it was rare for her to come out of the café holding, in her hands, the best meal she could even make for the boy she loved dearly.
"Shampoo, why are you making my future son-in-law's lunch so early in the morning?" A voice near Shampoo's feet asked the purple haired Chinese amazon.
"Grandma: Shampoo wanted to make Ranma's dish extra special today!" Shampoo responded, smiling in response to her grandmother's question.
"Oh, I see." Cologne smiled as she watched her daughter at work. "You might want to put this in his meal a little later on. It will ensure his appreciation for the meal." Cologne said as she handed her daughter a light-blue pill. "Good luck, Shampoo." She then added.
With that, Shampoo's grandmother made her way out of the kitchen and began to flip the sign of the shop, which told customers that it was now open.
Meanwhile, Shampoo continued to cook and, when finished, put the pill in a bag, which she then proceeded to stuff in one of her pants pockets. Wouldn't want it to dissolve too quickly… Shampoo thought simply to herself. The pill won't have any effect if Shampoo puts it in Ranma's ramen now.
"Bye, Grandma!" Shampoo said after she finished taking care of things. "Please make Mousse take over for Shampoo. Shampoo's going out now." She added quickly, and ran outside, where she kept her beautiful delivery bike.
"Ranma: Prepare to meet thy doom!" At Furikan high school, Tatewaki Kuno had stopped Ranma as he has begun to walk towards the school with Akane that morning.
"Look, Kuno: I'm going to defeat you again, and you're going to look ridiculous," Ranma began, rolling his eyes in response to Kuno's challenge. "Are you SURE you want to fight me?"
"Thou art too frightened of me to fight?" Kuno asked, smiling evily in response. "If that is the case, thou shall not by worthy of Akane's love and solemn devotion!" Kuno added angrily, clenching his katana tightly in his hands.
Ranma rolled his eyes at this, looking very annoyed in response to Kuno's angered cry. "Fine, I'll fight you…get ahold of yourself," Ranma said in slight irritation.
"But, if it makes things any better, I don't mind if you want to go out with Akane. That tomboy is annoying. Sometimes, I wonder if she's really a man in disguise." Ranma mused, nodding at this.
"For that," Kuno began angrily, making his way towards Ranma. "Thou shalt pay dearly! No one speaks that way of Akane!" He added, and soon began to swing at Ranma with his wooden katana.
Unfortunately for Kuno, he was too angry to pay attention to how he swung his sword about and was soon defeated by Ranma Saotome, with enough time to make it to class before the bell rang.
"See you later, Kuno." Ranma said, waving at the upperclassman, lying down because of a fierce kick to the face. Thine enemy becomes stronger by the day… Kuno thought to himself, sighing as he attempted to get up.
Several bruises where he'd been kicked and punched at could be seen all over his body. Thanks to Kuno's lengthy Kendo uniform, he was able to hide most of the wounds under his clothes, however, the pain was one thing he could hide.
He had to resort to using his kendo sword as a cane to get inside, and would pause his walking now and then to curse loudly about the pain that had spread throughout his body.
Luckily for the brunette upperclassman, Kuno's class was closer since his and Ranma's class were doing an all-day project to get ready for school's biggest festival for the year.
At the same time however, he had been assigned to work with Ranma, Akane, and Nabiki to set up the student-run café they'd be working within for the year.
Now Nabiki was his colleague, and he didn't mind that, while Akane was the one he loved, but Ranma? Why did he have to work with such a tyrant?
He didn't feel the urge to help out somebody who had just beaten him up earlier, however, there was nothing the boy could do but work. And work he did.
"Hey, no hard feelings about today, right?" Ranma asked, soon holding out one of his hands to shake with Kuno.
Although he thought lowly of the upperclassman, he knew that he had to work alongside Kuno today and, he figured he may as well try to get along this once. Besides that fact, Akane he kind of forced him into doing so, which he finally agreed to in exchange for nothing.
Why did I agree to be nice to Kuno in the first place? Ranma thought to himself, scratching his head slightly before he handed Kuno a screwdriver to help screw in the screws the held the Café's booth.
Ah, no use worrying about it. Ranma shrugged to himself at this thought. It's not that big of a deal anyway, is it? At least things are a little less awkward, I guess…
"All finished. What can I help with now?" Kuno asked curiously, trying his best to avoid Ranma's eye contact. He was still a little angry with the boy for beating him up, but, at least he was being helpful with this assignment.
Had they met under different circumstances, Kuno might have befriended Ranma after meeting him. Maybe would have even taken him under his wing in order to learn the way of kendo. After all, Ranma was an excellent fighter, as little as Kuno liked to admit it.
"We don't need help right now." Akane said calmly, nodding firmly in response to this. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure the teachers said we could take a further break until they tell us to do something else. After the booths are made, anyway…" Ranma added in response.
"Something about the booths being the most important part of the festival right now or something like that." After Ranma made that comment, he sat down, waiting for the lunch break to begin.
It was only after it did begin that a familiar, purple-haired Chinese amazon appeared with a white box that contained the meal she'd worked so hard on for Ranma.
"Shampoo made Ranma special lunch!" Shampoo said happily, and proceeded to hug the boy firmly as she made her way closer towards him.
"S-Shampoo?" Ranma said in slight surprise, scratching his head is slightly in utter embarrassment. He didn't hate Shampoo but…well, he didn't love her.
And, though he had no feelings of love for the Chinese amazon, Akane was often pissed off whenever the purple-haired female started hugging Ranma or trying to gain Ranma's undivided attention.
Although it wasn't his fault she loved him, Akane would always call Ranma a pervert and idiot for this female's actions. And well, Ranma was sick and tired of it, but there was really nothing her could do but TRY to avoid Shampoo herself.
As for avoiding Shampoo, that was often, for the most part, impossible. Shampoo would often pop up at any time with that bicycle of hers, sometimes on top of his head and, other times, would crash on the roof of the Tendo building.
Thanks to her, the Tendo family had to fix their roof oftentimes and, it didn't come cheap either! They would blame Ranma for all of that trouble she would cause and had even thought of making him work at Cologne's café in order to earn money to pay for the damages.
"Here's Ranma's lunch!" Shampoo said after awhile, handing Ranma a bowl of hot ramen. "Please enjoy! Shampoo made with lots of love." Shampoo then commented, smiling gingerly as Ranma took the bowl and a pair of chopsticks into his hands.
As Ranma was handed these things, people watched him in jealousy and confusion. As for Kuno, he looked very upset at the Ranma indeed. It was enough that he was messing around with pigtailed girl AND Akane, but another beauty as well? What was this world coming to?!
"Ranma, you tyrant!" Kuno yelled angrily, glaring at him as he watched the exchange between Shampoo and Ranma. Shampoo however, paid little attention to the other boy's angered cry and instead fished out the small bag that contained a light blue pill.
And, she was able to get it out as well, however, it slipped into his fingers as she accidentally tripped under a nearby chair, and flew directly into the air, into Kuno's open mouth.
Shampoo gasped in surprise as she watched Kuno accidentally swallow the pill. This was not supposed to happen and, now that it fell into the wrong hands, this boy would probably come after her instead: A thing she did not wish to happen.
But, that was not the case either. After Kuno swallowed the pill whole, he smiled gingerly at Ranma, and cocked his head to the side like a lovesick puppy.
"Ranma…I wish for you to date with me!" Kuno exclaimed after awhile, and began to glomp the raven-haired male tightly. This too, of course, led to a variety of surprised and confused looks of which were given to both Kuno and Ranma.
"Kuno: Get off of me, you big idiot!" Ranma exclaimed angrily, punching Kuno straight in the face in order to attempt at getting the upperclassman off of him. "Help Akane!" He then added, being unable to get the brunette off of him due to the boy's tightened arm muscles.
"It's already bad enough that you're a pervert AND a womanizer…" Akane began, giving the boy an offended look.
"But, now you like Kuno? What's wrong with you?" Akane exclaimed angrily, throwing a cold bucket of water that sat on the floor at Ranma and Kuno. With a loud splash, water hit the two boys, and almost instantly changed Ranma into his feminine half.
"You idiot: It's not like that and YOU know it!" Ranma said angrily, glaring back at Akane in response. "You just don't get it, do you? Sometimes, I just GET into these kind of situations!" She added quickly.
When Kuno noticed that he was holding the 'pigtailed girl', he let go instantly and gave the girl a surprised look. "Thou art most beautiful, my pigtailed goddess," Kuno began, nodding at the girl.
"But, I'm sorry to say that I've found another. And, he may be a man, he is the master-mistress of my directed passion." He sighed and let go of the girl at once. "I have betrayed your love, and now, it is hard just to gaze at your elegant beauty. Oh, woe is me!"
With this, Kuno ran out of the building despite the pain that ached throughout his body, his face in his hands as he cried over and over about how he had betrayed both the Pigtailed Goddess and Akane's love for him. Would they ever be able to forgive him for his treachery?
Tae H: To be continued. Sorry about my bad olde English folks: I was using my sonnet book I used in the 8th grade for a contest just to post for Kuno.
But, anyway, leave comments for me! I'd love to hear feedback and well…I can't wait to post the next chapter for you guys!
