Ranma ½ Fanfic
Steam in Nerima
Prologue
Just another day
Ranma-chan sighed contentedly as she lay on the lovely golden brown sand. Her curves and breasts nicely accented in the summer air, as the sun blazed high in the sky.
"Pops and old man Tendo actually made a good decision this time." She said to herself. About a week ago the Tendo's and two Saotome's had been planning their annual vacation. They were reluctant to bring Ranma along though because of all the trouble and destruction that followed him. Then Genma started talking about a plan he had, and after a lot of debating the others agreed. Genma and Soun wandered around Nerima tracking down Ranma and Akane's various suitors. When they found them they offered to take them with them on one condition. They had to behave and there were to be no challenges, traps, or various plans that had to do with the family or anyone else on the vacation. To the astonished eyes of the two fathers all agreed to the deal. Shampoo, Ukyo, Kodachi, Kuno, Cologne, Mousse, they even found Ryoga and got him to agree to the deal. So Ranma-chan wasn't surprised in the least when Ukyo sat down beside her.
"Where is Kuno?" she asked sweetly. "I thought he was chasing after his loyally devoted pig-tailed love." Ukyo said finishing the sentence with a laugh. Ranma-chan pointed with a finger to where an unconscious Kuno was lying in the sand.
"Pig-tailed girl didn't want to be chased." She said with a laugh. Water washed up the beach and over Kuno's unconscious form. Fortunately for him he was too heavy to be washed away. Ukyo was about to respond to Ranma-chan's statement when an unmistakable laugh filled the air. A petite, black haired gymnast jumped over the hill behind the beach landing in the sand. She landed hard creating a cloud of dust and sand that filled the air. When the cloud cleared Kodachi the gymnast was shown in a small crater of sand. She quickly got up and walked over to Ranma-chan, and pointed a gymnast club at the red head's stomach.
"What have you done with my Ranma, you pigtailed hooligan? Tell me before I am forced to punish you!" Kodachi growled at the girl.
"YOUR Ranma!" Ranma-chan yelled. "He is not, nor will he ever be YOUR Ranma."
"Ahahahah!" Kodachi laughed. "You don't understand the power of two people in love. Now tell me where I can find him before I hurt you!" Kodachi growled the last sentence.
"Don't forget the deal you made Kodachi." Ranma-chan sneered "You aren't allowed to challenge anybody on this vacation remember."
"But you weren't on the vacation list." Kodachi laughed. "WHICH MAKES YOU FAIR GAME!" she yelled pulling the club back to strike. Ranma-chan quickly stood up and back flipped into a battle position, but something happened before either girl could attack. A bright coloured bonbori shot flying out of the air, smacking Kodachi in the face. The girl fell back into the sand unconscious, and Ranma-chan went back to sitting under the umbrella.
"Hey Shampoo."
Shampoo walked over to the bonbori and picked it up.
"Nihao Ranma." Shampoo said happily. "Shampoo knew crazy girl up to something when she came out with gymnast equipment." Shampoo said to no one in particular. "So Shampoo follows and stop whatever crazy girl planned." She then wandered over to the unconscious girl and picked her up. She then wandered over to a tethered lifeboat and threw the girl in. She looked over at the knocked out Kuno.
"What is with boken guy?" Shampoo asked turning towards Ranma-chan.
"Don't ask. Just add him to the raft." She said. Shampoo walked over and picked up Kuno, and put him on the raft. Then she cut the tether cord with a throwing paddle that Ukyo helpfully supplied. They all watched the raft sail into the distance until it was swallowed up by the blue.
"Strange family that one." Shampoo commented when they were out of sight. Ranma and Ukyo nodded in silence. Ukyo and Shampoo snuggled into Ranma's sides. Then Akane and Ryoga wandered over. Ryoga had a sudden nose bleed and fell back onto the sand, Akane just got redder and redder. Then she exploded.
"RANMAAAAAA!" She yelled. "Have you no decency at all!" She was pointing to the fact that Ranma was half naked (she had been splashed while wearing swim trunks as a boy, and hadn't bothered to change.)
"Not my fault that Kuno splashed me when I was wearing only my trunks." Ranma said defensively. Akane didn't care. The next thing that Ranma knew she was squashed under a large mallet.
"BAKA!" Akane yelled as she smashed her into the ground. Then Ryoga was back on his feet, and he was mad.
"RANMA YOU PERVERT!" Ryoga yelled as he charged at the dazed girl. Ranma quickly got up and brought her right arm up and into Ryoga's chin sending him flying into the sunset. She then walked off.
"Where are you going!?" Akane yelled at Ranma's back. "I'm still talking here."
