The Dragons of Spirit and Love
Part 2:
The Dragons Rising
As Akane awoke, she realized she was covered in debris. Rolling onto her back, she saw two heavy beams directly over her supported by a heavy chunk of stone. She head one of the beams creak, causing her to scramble out. A loud CRACK and THUD came from behind her as she crawled out on her knees. Panting heavily, she collapsed haphazardly on the floor. Looking to where she had been seconds before, both beams were lying on the ground. Had she been there any longer… "brrrr!" she exclaimed as a shudder went through her.
Recovering from the shock, she leaned back against a crushed stone dais. Looking around the destroyed building, se started to recognize the place. "Holy- this is the church!" She strained to remember the events. She could remember the chase, the fight, Ranma getting hurt; then nothing. "Ranma!" she yelled. 'She'd been hurt. Tonoshi had cut her badly,' she thought. Suddenly she heard a groan from behind her.
She shot up, moving rubble like a mad woman (an: which she was, I mean, c'mon). Suddenly a large blast of energy shot up, sending debris flying. In the center of the cleared area lay Ranma. His clothes were shredded, but he was completely unharmed. 'HE?' she thought suddenly, 'Ranma was female before!' She rushed over to him and helped him sit up.
"Akane!" he yelled as he sat up, throwing his arms around her, starting to sob. "Oh Akane, I was so a-afraid I'd l-lost you!" She pulled away from him, a look of confusion across her face.
"Don't you remember?" he asked wiping away tears.
"Remember what? What happened?"
"Akane, Tonoshi stabbed you, I-I felt you slip away. You were dead. Here's the sca- no scar…" Ranma had brushed aside a few of the tattered shreds of her dress, the spot where she had been stabbed was smooth and undamaged. He looked at himself as well, "No scar, and I'm a guy. You stepped between us, I caught you and killed Tonoshi. I rushed you back here to the church where… Akane, do you remember anything at all?"
"Nothing… just, blackness. Wait, I remember… I think it was a huge amount of power, flowing through me… then…Ranma… I have an image of a red and gold dragon in my head. What about you?"
"Blue and silver. Akane, I think we turned into-" Suddenly he was cut off by another voice.
"Dragons." Ranma and Akane spun in place. Cologne and Happosai were standing in the doorway of the ruined church. "Actually, you didn't really turn into dragons. You are dragons. Come, we have much to explain and prepare for. You leveled nearly twenty square blocks of houses thanks to that energy influx. The media will probably be here in less than ten minutes. It would probably be best if we returned to the Tendo household." She turned and pogo-sticked out the door. Happosai just stood in the doorway leering at Akane. She looked down and tried to cover herself when she realized how little she was wearing. Ranma wrapped an arm around her and led her out into the now cloudless afternoon.
"The sun is setting Akane. We are now in limbo. Before now, we lived our old lives. Tomorrow morning, our life together will officially start," Ranma tightened his arm around her shoulders.
"All we can do is face the new day with open hearts and open minds," Akane wrapped an arm around her husband's waist, pulling him closer.
The group moved into the household and sat at the dining room table. Nodoka and Kasumi went into the kitchen and prepared a small meal. Ranma spoke up after a few moments of silence.
"What's gonna happen now?"
"Well Ranma," Cologne answered, "now your training and hunt begins. There is one mortal dragon left living. He carries the secrets you need to know for your fighting. While we have none of that knowledge, we will be able to help you. Your dragon spirits have started to meld with yours. Over time, there will be almost no separation between the two, you will think as one. The dragon spirit will hold knowledge of events and beings. You however, will have to learn the techniques held only by dragons. We can teach you none of these. We can help you control your transformations however. Right now, you'll last of about five minutes in your dragon form. We can help you extend that to an indefinite amount of time." Kasumi and Nodoka walked in and set the food on the table. Ranma and Akane didn't touch a morsel.
"We really should speak of this tomorrow. You two just got married!" Cologne suddenly exclaimed, "Come people, you can stay at the Nekohoten. We have extra rooms there. These two won't get a proper honeymoon. They should have tonight at the very least." Soun and Genma both cheered. "Actually, a week or two would be better. We have some time before the barriers start coming down; might as well enjoy life. Come now!" The families got up and, after congratulating the newlyweds, exited the household and went to the cat café.
Akane and Ranma sat at the table for several minutes after everyone lift, partially in shock at how quickly everyone had left and amazed that they were actually married. Akane looked at her new husband and grinned hugely. She winked at him once and took off like a shot yelling back at him.
"If you want any tonight, you gotta catch me before I get to our bedroom!"
Taking less than an instant to register, he took off right after her, chasing her around the house and yard, both laughing the entire way. Akane ducked inside and dashed upstairs. She had to stop to open her door though, causing her to lose time. Ranma came up the stairs just then and hooked a right, tackling her to the bed.
"Gotcha!" he said as he pushed up on his arms. Akane laughed beneath him.
"I guess you caught me! Next time, I'll leave the door open!"
"C'mon! You enjoy this as much as I do!"
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't! You'll just have to find out the hard way!"
"Hard, huh? This isn't gonna be so hard. Well, I will be. You however…" He sat up and pulled the remains of his clothes off and helped Akane out of hers. They lay back on the bed; Ranma's hard on standing at attention. Akane reached out to it and took hold.
Akane moved her hand up and down his length to his rhythm... Feeling his hot hardness in her hands... she concentrated on him... Suddenly she moaned in pure pleasure as his other hand pressed against her clitoris, moving to the same rhythm, stroking in gentle circles. Her hips rocked, moving in response to the pleasure...
Soon, Ranma pulled himself away from her touch, knowing he could not take much more of her touch before he went over the edge... "Akane," he gasped,
"Let me touch you..." He knelt back down between her legs, and gazed into her face... then his eyes traveled down, between her legs... His fingers started to search her, slowly parting her petals… his eyes gazed at her sex, finding her pink and moist... his eyes moved to her opening... He slid a finger down there, feeling her hot and wet...
Akane gasped, her eyes closed, excited by his every touch... Pleasure running through her body... "Ohh... Ranma..." she gasped... the tingling at her sex got stronger and stronger, the pleasure got greater and greater... She opened her eyes, and looked at him as he concentrated on giving her pleasure... She reached for him, pulling him back down against her, her lips kissing his deeply... She felt his lips respond to her kiss... Then she felt his hard manhood at her sex...
Ranma's hips rocked against Akane's, both of them rocked in time to the rhythm... their hips met, pulled back, and meeting again... But each time he pushed forwards, he fumbled, missing her entrance... He reached down, between her thighs, and gently parted her legs... Then he moaned again, as he felt her take hold of him... she guided him to her entrance... Then they rocked together, and he drove deep within her, feeling the pure pleasure of her tightness surrounding his manhood as he thrust deep within her...
Akane felt pleasure, a thousand times greater than any other time as he thrust all the way inside her... she gasped, her body crying out for him... Then his hips moved, pulling back... She felt his arms around her, holding her close... Her arms held on to him tightly...
Reveling in her tightness and wetness, he pushed back into her, thrusting deeply... each thrust driving deeper into her wonderful body... He heard her moan in total ecstasy, just as she heard him groaning in pleasure... They rocked together against each other, the rhythm speeding up, their bodies melding into one... Both clung onto each other in the throes of passion... and in newly discovered love...
Ranma pushed his hips harder against Akane's, thrusting deep into her, his manhood pushing through her tightness, penetrating her deeply... Akane pushed back, her hips pushing up harder each time, impaling herself on his hardness, pulling back, only to have him thrust inside her again as she pushed her hips upwards, against his...They rocked against each other, their hips grinding... pumping... their bodies damp with perspiration, both groaning in pure ecstasy at the pleasure they gave each other...
Then they both reach their peak. Akane's body shuddered beneath Ranma's; his body trembled a little on hers... She grabbed hold of him, her fingers digging into his back, her legs wrapped around his hips, holding him tightly... A sudden gush of her honey covered his manhood, just as his hot wet seed seemed to explode inside her... Their cries echoed through the house, their pleasure and love expressed in the combined cry...
"RANMA!"
"AKANE!" Ranma collapsed against Akane's soft, warm body, his manhood deep inside her...
They held each other with tenderness, and gentleness... Akane started to cry, tears of joy running down her face... Somehow, Ranma understood, and held her tenderly while she cried... then he kissed away her tears, his lips tasting the salt from her tears... Then he rested, his head pillowed on her breasts.. She gently stroked his hair...
"I love you..." they whispered, together... then they smiled lovingly at each other, both blushing, and snuggled together in the warmth of each other's bodies, and in the warmth of their love...
After a while, Akane turned to Ranma, starting to blush again... "Ranma...?"
He smiled, looking into her eyes, "Hai, my wife?" He blushed as he called her his 'wife'.
"Ranma… I want to give you pleasure…in your female form, too, my husband… I have always been... curious..." She gulped and stared back into his eyes...
Ranma colored deeply. "I... If you want..."
Akane smiled, and took his hand. Ranma pulled himself out of Akane's body, moaning softly, and missing being inside her. They both sat up, and got out of the bed. She stood up, and led him downstairs to the bathroom. She filled a bucket of water, feeling his eyes gazing at her naked body... She blushed, and walked over to him, kissed him deeply, and poured the cold water over Ranma.
Ranma's body grew smaller, more curved, his hair turned red. Ranma-chan stood naked, in front of Akane, shivering. Akane put her arms around her, pressing her naked body to Ranma's cold body, heating her up.
Ranma chan sighed softly, feeling the warm curves of Akane's naked body press against her. 'Ohhh Akane, I am a man inside; I still want you,' Ranma kissed Akane deeply and passionately, and then she picked her up, and carried her back to Akane's bedroom. Ranma laid Akane down on the bed, and then lay down next to her. A kettle of hot water was set down by the bed...
Akane gazed into the eyes of her husband, then at Ranma-chan's naked body. Akane pressed her soft lips to Ranma's neck, kissing tenderly. She kissed a trail of hot kissed across Ranma's shoulders, then moved down to kiss her breasts... Copying what Ranma had done to her, Akane kissed to one of
Ranma-chan's nipples, then took it in her mouth, sucking and licking it, feeling it go hard in her mouth. She used one hand to massage Ranma's other breast, her fingers gently playing with Ranma's other nipple. Akane smiled to herself as she heard Ranma moan in pleasure.
Ranma, surprised by the way his female body could make him feel, moaned loudly, pushing herself up to Akane's lips and touch. Ranma's body shivered a little, this time not because of the cold. A warm tingling sensation was building up down at her sex. Her feelings were similar to the feelings that his male body gave him, but this was different, yet so good. He groaned again, hearing his voice groaning in a soft female sound.
Akane let go of Ranma's breast, and worked that hand slowly down Ranma's side, feeling the curve of her female body. Her mouth moved to Ranma's other breast, and suckled at the other nipple... Her hand reached Ranma's hip, and moved slowly inward... She felt Ranma shiver as her hand brushed against the delta of red hair at Ranma's sex. Then she moved her hand down, moving to Ranma's inner thighs.
Ranma moaned again. She pushed her hips up to Akane, wanting her hand to touch that tingling sensation... But Akane's hand only ran up and down her inner thighs... Frustrated, but enjoying every touch, Ranma gently pressed her hands on Akane's head, pushing her down to her sex... "Akane... Ohhhh...
Don't tease..." she groaned...
Akane looked up at Ranma, and smiled. She moved down, between Ranma's legs, and parted them a little further. She gazed between Ranma's parted legs, and gently ran her hand up and down Ranma's inner thighs again. Then she slid her hand right up her husband's inner thigh... Gently she ran a finger over Ranma's clitoris... She smiled again, hearing Ranma gasp and cry out in pleasure. Then she began circling her finger around Ranma's clitoris, moving at a slow pace. Ranma started rocking her hips in pleasure..
Ranma moaned and rocked her hips, "Ohhhh... Akane... This is sooooo good...Ohhhhhhhhhhh..."
Akane then slowly moved her other hand to Ranma's entrance. She gently parted Ranma's petals, feeling the warmth and wetness there. Akane smiled, and gently pushed her finger a little way into Ranma's opening. Ranma's body shook a little, and Ranma-chan groaned... Akane continued to gently search inside Ranma... She pushed her finger in a little more, and felt Ranma's tightness and wetness surrounding her finger.
Ranma's eyes opened wide as he felt Akane's finger slide inside her entrance. She gasped, her hips rocked, and she felt herself want her inside him... He groaned and gasped; his breathing hot and fast...
Akane felt Ranma's hips rock against her hand, and she took her finger from Ranma-chan's clitoris... then lent down, and pressed her mouth there, instead... Her tongue licked feverishly at Ranma's clitoris... Hearing Ranma moan, she licked harder, sucking gently every so often. As Ranma's hips rocked, Akane felt her finger being driven deeper within Ranma... But she was stopped at Ranma's barrier... She pulled her finger back out, and then pushed back in, a little way, with two fingers...
Akane lifted up her head, "Ranma... This will hurt a bit..." she whispered,
"But I can't give you real pleasure until this is gone..."
Ranma nodded slowly, just wanting his wife to give him more pleasure, her hips still rocking...
Akane pressed her mouth back down over Ranma's clitoris, and licked again... Her hand felt Ranma's rocking rhythm, and matched it, pushing in a little further each time... Then, with a sudden sharp movement, Akane thrust her two fingers forward as Ranma's hips met her hand, and she broke through
Ranma's virginal opening, her fingers still traveling deeper within Ranma's tight opening.
Ranma cried out, a little from the shock and the pain. But Akane's fingers pulled back, and then drove deep inside her again, and she moaned in pleasure, the pain forgotten... Her hips rocked faster and faster, Akane's tongue and fingers matching Ranma's rhythm... Ranma groaned and rocked, and moved faster and faster, reaching her climax... Her body shuddered, and Ranma grabbed handfuls of the bedclothes, and cried out Akane's name.
Akane heard Ranma-chan cry out her name, felt her body shudder, then felt a warm gush of sticky liquid stream out between her fingers... Akane lapped up some of Ranma's honey as it flowed... Then when the flow stopped, Akane removed her finger, and raised her head, watching the pleasure on Ranma-chan's face. Akane slid up her body, and kissed her tenderly, wrapping her arms around her. Ranma smiled at her, her eyes filling with tears... They rested..
Soon they kissed again, and held each other tightly... Ranma smiled, "Akane, my love..."
Akane smiled back, and blushed, then reached over, and handed the kettle to Ranma, who poured hot water over herself... and changed back into a man... He put the kettle down again, and held Akane gently in his arms. They snuggled together in the warmth...
A little while later, they started making love again... changing positions each time, trying to find the best way to give each other pleasure... Their cries rang out through the night...
At dawn, they lay quietly in each other's arms, starting to fall asleep...
Their bodies were drained, but both of them were fulfilled... and filled with joy and new love... Ranma just gazed at Akane, sighing with pleasure as his eyes ran over her beautiful form... "You are beautiful..." he murmured in her ear...
Soon, they fell asleep as husband and wife... Akane and Ranma Saotome...
"Ranma, wake up, there's something wrong," a sweet, concerned voice called through the haze of sleep. "Ranma!"
"OOORUUGHH! Ugh, what's wrong Akane?"
"Ranma, open you're eyes please."
"Fine." He opened his eyes and looked around. The room was flooded with sunlight. "So what's wrong?" He turned and looked at her. She was looking down at the bed covers with downcast eyes. Suddenly something moved behind her. Reflexively, Ranma shot his hand out and caught it, causing Akane to yelp loudly.
"RANMA! THAT HURT!" She hit him over the head with her mallet.
"STUPID TOMBOY, WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"
"RANMA," she took a deep breath and calmed down, "Ranma; that is my tail."
"Wow…" he let it go. It danced around like it had a mind of its own. "Let's see how its attached." The silvery blue scaled tail snaked under the covers and lifted them off. A small area of Akane's lower back and butt were scaled in small leathery scales. Ranma brushed a hand over them causing Akane to shiver in pleasure.
"Ranma, that's not all that's wrong I-"
"Actually, I rather like the tail. Kinda kinky. Oh, your eyes." Her eyes were a swirling blue and silver vortex with no pupils. "Sweet; blue and silver eyes are all the rage!" Akane turned away from him and started sobbing.
"Akane," he wrapped his arm around her, ignoring the tail that was hitting him over the head, "Akane, I am serious. I do like the changes. I actually half expected something like this."
" 'sniff' Really?" she sobbed, "You expected it? And you like them?"
"Well, yes. We are dragons after all. And I do like them. Extremely sexy." He reached over and stroked Akane's tail, causing her to shudder again.
"That feels good you know."
"Why do you think I'm doing it?"
"I dunno. It would be nice to control."
"Here, I think I have a trick for you. Calm yourself, focus on your tail first, concentrate on making it go away."
Akane did just that, and after several minutes, the tail shrunk up inside her. "GAAH! Jeez, that's a weird feeling. Actually, I think I'll keep the eyes for now, seems like I can see more clearly. Which do you like better, these or my real ones?"
"Tie game," Ranma said after a moment, "These are cool as hell and make you look sexy as fuck, but your real ones made you look like a softer person, calmer. I dunno. Go ahead and keep them. If nothing else… oh, that's right, we have the whole week! Well, wanna get some breakfast? I'll cook."
"Ranma…" Akane said threateningly, her eyes changing to blue orbs surrounding two pinpoints of silver, "be sure to tread lightly about that topic. At least my last meal was edible. I only screwed up putting cinnamon on instead of curry powder."
"On eggs? Come on, I'll teach you how to pick out the correct spices. You seem to have the cooking down, somewhat. We'll make…hmm…how does…no, that isn't good for breakfast…oh hell, I'll do up some pancakes and we'll do some soup up later for lunch. Unless we're otherwise busy that is."
Sitting downstairs after Ranma had made up some pancakes; he couldn't help but watch Akane.
"Something wrong? You've been staring at me for the past ten minutes."
"No, not at all. Just watching my beautiful wife eat the meal I just made. Why, do I make you feel uncomfortable?"
"Why would you? You're my husband. Wow, that's going to take some getting used to, isn't it?"
"Of course. We've denied the fact that we fell in love instantly since the day we met. Is it just me, or are we always philosophical before sex?"
"Good question." Akane leaned over the table and kissed Ranma passionately on the lips."
Ranma broke the kiss, "Maybe we should go to the bathroom?"
"Why? And why the bathroom?"
"Ever gotten off in hot water?"
"Maybe once or twice."
"Exactly; it feels better."
"Let's go to it then." Akane stood and walked off to the furo, swaying her hips as she walked off. Being panty-less and wearing only Ranma's Chinese shirt left her bottom almost completely exposed. Ranma's head nearly turned completely around as she sauntered off, causing him to run after her.
The week passed quickly. Akane and Ranma started to worry. Cologne had said they had time, but both could feel a tension building in the air. They knew time was running out, but could do nothing but wait.
"Ranma?"
"Yeah?"
"What do you think is going to happen to us?"
"Honestly; I have no idea. We both have shape shifting abilities, I know for a fact that my ki reserves have increased and that both our senses are way better that they were a week ago. This is getting strange, even for us."
"You can say that again."
Suddenly, they heard a knock on the front door. They quickly rushed out of the kitchen to open the door. Sticking his head out the door, he looked around, but couldn't see anything. Then he heard a small cough from below him. Looking down, he saw Happosai standing there, twirling his pipe.
"'Sup old man?"
"It's nothing much Ranma my boy," Happosai said sarcastically, "it's only that your week is up and I am here to help get you two packed. We need to go to China."
"Why do we need to go to China?" Akane asked eagerly.
"We need to go to the Joketsuko Village."
"Fine, let's go get packed Akane. Might wanna change too.
The three made their way to the Cat Café. On the way, Ranma got splashed with water by the little old lady that apparently thinks watering the pavement is a good way to spend her time. Once there, they say their parents sitting at one of the tables with Cologne.
"Sit down, we have much to talk about." Cologne rasped.
"So, we didn't get much of a lowdown on what the hell is happening. Can you fill us in?" Ranma shot at her.
"Yes, but not much. There is a book of prophesies that was left in my village several thousand years ago. It was said to have been left by a tall man with black hair and black wings."
"The phoenix people."
"Yes. That is what we believe as well. While I have only read through the book once or twice, I still remember one thread of prophesy it read; When the one cursed to two bodies finds the wielder of hammers, their love shall unlock the doors of spirit. The Dragons shall rise again. The red and gold shall defeat the demon-blade after the silver and blue makes the sacrifice to save their love. In the land where freedom lies, they shall find their knowledge and with their powers restored, they shall close shut the jaws of oblivion… We need to go to my people to get that book!"
"Great, we go to China then to America. Then-" Akane started but was cut off by Happosai.
"Wait Akane, how do you know that we need to go to America?"
"Oh come on! In the land where freedom lies…That's America! The land of the free? You are three centuries old Happosai, how could you not have known that?"
"Well-"
"That doesn't matter. What matters is that we know where to go." Cologne cut in. "Akane is right. That is where we need to go. None the less, we still need that book. You two are ready right?"
"Yes!" they said in union.
"Then it is best we leave now. I have already filled your families in on what is happening. It is best we leave without delay. No goodbyes. It will be easier that way."
