I don't own Ranma 1/2 or it's characters they belong to the genius Rumiko Takahashi. enjoy part 4 of My first valentine
Ranma left Hinako's Apartment to head back to Ukyo's restaurant using her usual roof to roof transit system. Ranma knew what would happen once she got there and spoke with Ukyo, but figured it would be better to take her lumps now and get it over with. About halfway there she sensed someone following her. When she turned around to find out who it was, she saw it was her strongest female bride to be. Ranma looked in Shampoo's eyes and what she found in them were hurt and confusion.
"Ranma why you go out with teacher on Valentine day? Why you no ask Shampoo to be Valentine? Lastly why you let teacher drain Shampoo dry of battle Ki?" Shampoo asked trying hard be look serious.
"Ok I will answer your questions in order only if you promise not to interrupt me ok?" Ranma replied
"Shampoo promise she no interrupt."
"Ok the answer to your first question is because three days before Valentine's day, Hinako was crying that she would never have a Valentine in her life, so I figured why not make her dream come true and be her valentine for the day. I 'had' no intention of dating her after that." Ranma said stressing the had in the past tense.
"Shampoo see you go out with her only out of pity you have no real feelings for her. Shampoo worry over nothing then." Shampoo said relieved but not getting the hint Ranma sent to her.
'She didn't get that I said had instead of have? I better not say anything about it now the last thing I need is Shampoo giving Hinako the kiss of death' thought Ranma sadly.
"To answer your second question, I didn't ask you to be my Valentine because I already had a Valentine. In addition, I didn't want to have to divide my attention between two females as it wouldn't have been fair to either party. But even if I didn't have Hinako as my Valentine, I would have asked my Kaa-san to be my Valentine so none of you could try to kill me or her since she is a neutral party related to me." Ranma said hoping not to hurt Shampoo anymore then he would have to.
"Shampoo forgive Ranma as long as Shampoo be Ranma Valentine for next year." Shampoo said hoping Ranma would except.
"There isn't going to be a next time Shampoo. I don't want anything to do with you anymore. Before you say anything Shampoo answer me this why is it that you chase after me so much?" Ranma asked wanting to here her answer.
"Shampoo love Ranma! Shampoo do anything to be Ranma's wife. Shampoo would even go up against Saffron in fight to death if it mean Shampoo have slight chance of getting with Ranma." Shampoo said with every fiber of her being.
"Shampoo I don't think you love me, I think you are obsessed with me. If you truly loved me, you wouldn't have used my weakness to get me to go on dates with you. If you truly loved me, you wouldn't have used love potion after love potion to try and get me to marry you against my will. It is already to late now, but I will let you in on a little secret. If you would have listened to me and been my friend without all the crazy potions and ambush dates, things may have gone in your favor. You are a beautiful young Chinese woman and a great martial artist. You trained as much as I do and you love the art as much as I do if not more, and because of that you had my respect but that is all you had and nothing more." Ranma Answered honestly.
"Ranma Shampoo sorry please forgive Shampoo Shampoo promise never to do that again!" Shampoo pleaded as the waterworks began to activate.
Ranma watched as Shampoo eyes began to tear up. Within Seconds her tears began to roll down her cheeks.
'Be strong Ranma if you caved now then she will never leave you alone' Thought Ranma remembering Ukyo's words.
Shampoo seeing that her true tears of sadness wasn't affecting Ranma in any shape or form decided to pull out her trump card in a last ditch effort to get the one she loved.
"Fine then Shampoo have no choice now! Shampoo challenge Ranma in two months time to fight for the ultimate prize. If Shampoo lose Shampoo give up on Ranma, but if Shampoo win Ranma must come back to China and marry Shampoo! Shampoo said with more determination then she had in her life.
"I am sorry Shampoo but I won't accept your challenge. There is no reason for me to do so." Ranma answered honestly.
"Ranma no accept challenge from Shampoo? Then Shampoo must do one final act to regain honor. Ranma please take blade, and cut Shampoo head off. Only with Shampoo's death by former Airen will Shampoo's honor be restored." Shampoo said with the same Determination.
'She is serious about me killing her. I may not love her, but I will not let her commit Seppuku. I would rather cut off my own leg then to be have to live with Shampoo's death on my hands I guess I will be fighting her in two months time then.' Ranma thought to himself.
"Fine then Shampoo I will except your challenge however, don't except me to go easy on you or not train for this fight!" Ranma answered honestly.
"Shampoo have it no other way! See you in tow months Airen! By the way Shampoo forget to say Ranma must fight as female otherwise Ranma forfeit to Shampoo!" Shampoo said in a normal tone.
With that Shampoo left the scene leaving Ranma by herself. Ranma frowned at giving Shampoo false hope, but she didn't have the heart to kill her either.
'What have I gotten myself into? Even with my new technique, the old ghoul has so many tricks up her sleeve that I know she will teach Shampoo for this up coming fight. Yet I have no one to train me. Shit I was so busy talking to Shampoo I forgot I am still outside freezing my behind off in the snow. I better get to Ukyo's and quick.' thought a half way frozen Ranma.
15 minutes later at Ukyo's Restaurant
"Ukyo I need to talk to you about something really important." Ranma announced as soon as he got inside.
"Ranma you can talk later right now you look like you were standing out in the snow for a few hours." Ukyo said with concern and love in her voice.
"Actually 45 minutes, but I have two bombshells to drop on you. Let me start with the smaller one. To sum up what happened in a nutshell, I am going to have one final fight with Shampoo in two months. If I win I get my freedom from her for good, but if I lose I have to go to China and marry her." Ranma said but Ukyo didn't look too worried.
"That shouldn't be a problem for you Ranma since when you fought her you beat her with one kick. Also with all the training you do, Shampoo would never catch up to you with two months." Ukyo said with Ranma's normal cockiness
When Ukyo looked at Ranma's face she didn't see the usual cockiness, but a real serious expression on his face.
"Ukyo of all my brides to be, Shampoo was and still is the one I joke around with the least. Think about it for a moment. Shampoo while she does love me has to marry me and bring me back to her village, or kill my girl half to get her honor back. I know for a fact that she is going to ask the old ghoul for help, and with her wanting Shampoo to be happy as well as preserve her honor she is going to use some sort of extreme training method to increase Shampoo's abilities. For all I know Shampoo may have all the strength of fifty Saffron's before this battle begins." Ranma said in a serious tone.
"Which is why I am going to help you." Said a certain male Amazon.
Ranma turned around to see his Amazon rival Mousse come through the door.
"What could you teach Ranma that would help him win against Shampoo? Your hidden weapon style didn't even work on Shampoo before. What makes you think it will work for Ranma?" Said a doubting Ukyo.
"Shut up for a moment and let me speak! Now as for what I was going to say believe it or not, I know some of the old fossils moves that may help you in your up coming fight. You must win this fight Ranma. I love Shampoo with all my heart, and if you win this fight with her I will have another shot at her!" Mousse answered honestly.
"I will train you in my art of fighting as well Ranma. The more variety you have, the better chance of you winning this. Besides I am not going to lose you now that I am so much closer to having you then I was before. But before I forget to ask you what is the bigger bombshell you have to drop on me?"Ukyo asked not wanting to forget.
"Mousse could you step into the other room for a moment this is private." Ranma said not wanting the news to possibly leak out to the old ghoul and Shampoo.
Mousse complied with Ranma request and stepped into the other room. As soon as Ranma was sure Mousse wasn't within hearing range she spoke.
"Ukyo I won't beat around the bush with you. When I was with Hinako on Valentines day, before I went back to the Tendo dojo we took each others virginity." Ranma said knowing what would come next.
As soon as Ukyo heard these words all the color left her face. Ranma tried to get a response out of Ukyo for about ten minutes only to get no response for her. After five more minutes Ukyo reacted as Ranma expected she would. After a two hour beat down from Ukyo, the rage she felt left her body. Ranma then looked at herself in the mirror to see her face had only a few lumps and her shoulder was popped out of place. After popping her shoulder back in place Ukyo spoke the first thoughts that came to her mind.
"Why Ranma? Why did you do that with her of all people? Didn't anyone teach you that sex is something that you are suppose to do with the person you are married to and not just some random woman?" Ukyo asked in a scolding tone.
"Ukyo come on now. You know for a fact that Mr Soatome never taught me anything other then martial arts. I asked him about it once, and he told me not to worry about that because the birds and the bees would distract me from the art. When I was living in the Tendo household I couldn't talk to anyone about it. Akane would think I was a pervert, jump to the worse possible conclusion, then would either beat me up or send me flying still leaving me clueless. Nabiki would have most likely blackmail me because I was clueless about sex, as well as charge me for the information. I would have asked Kasumi but with all the craziness I had to deal with in my life I never had any time." Ranma once again answered honestly.
"Are to telling me that before you had sex with Hinako you didn't even know what sex was?" Ukyo asked is surprise in her voice.
"I only knew about the gender sex and that was it. When they had sex education in school I was either rescuing Akane from some crazy person or dealing with some other problem." Ranma said speaking only the truth.
Upon hearing Ranma's explanation, and thinking about everything she just heard Ukyo felt bad for Ranma.
'His father gets Ranma engaged to me, Akane and I don't know how many others, yet he couldn't teach Ranma about the birds and the bees? What did he expect Ranma to do with me or Akane if he ever got married to one of us?' Ukyo thought with sadness in her voice.
"I am sorry Ranma for the beat down I gave you. While I am upset that you gave your virginity to Hinako instead of me, you didn't know anything about it no thanks to your father. If you want I would teach about the birds and the bees sense I did get the boy talk and the girl talk some time ago. Ukyo said trying to put the past behind her.
"We can do that after I win this fight with Shampoo because if I lose I will be getting hands on experience from Shampoo." Ranma said.
"Good point Ranma I don't want to lose you to her. I will go get Mousse from the back room so he can begin training you." Said Ukyo not wanting to lose Ranma.
Ukyo went to get him only to find him out cold with a dart in his neck. Upon removing the dart Ukyo found a note attached to the dart. It read:
I will give him the antidote after Son-in-laws duel is over. Tell son in law that he better train because if he doesn't Shampoo will dominate him.
'I see the old woman already knows and is already training Shampoo as we speak. Ranma you haven't got a moment to lose!' Ukyo thought to herself.
Meanwhile back at the Cat Cafe
"Shampoo normally I would be pissed at you for making such a rash decision, but you did think it through somewhat by asking for two months to train as well as telling Ranma to fight in his weaker form. However as we both know Ranma isn't just any normal opponent. He was beaten some of the most powerful fighters in the world, and is among the top five best martial artists in the world. Lucky for you, your great grandmother has plenty of tricks and experience to pass on to you for this fight." Cologne said with pride not only in herself but Ranma.
"Thank you great grandmother Shampoo do whatever take to have Ranma!" Shampoo said with the same deterination in her voice.
"That is exactly what I wanted to hear, because this training is going to be for your greatest challenge yet. But first I am going to have to use some special Amazon herbs on your body. With these you be able to stay up for 3 months straight without any negative side effects, but when the effect leaves your system you will fall sleep for 25 days to recover the sleep you lost." Said Cologne.
"Thank you great grandmother Shampoo no let you down!" Shampoo said in a happy tone.
'Just you wait son-in-law when I am through with Shampoo, she will make Saffron look like Akane in comparison! But if I know you son-in-law, you will find some way to make this interesting you always do.' Cologne said from previous experience.
At the Tendo Household
"Hinako as an educator I have full respect for you, but as a family man I don't want to be in the same room as you! You go on one date with Akane's former groom to be causing him to break up with her and now you want to ask me to date you? The answer is no!" SOun said with a bit of venom in his voice.
"Please Soun believe it or not you are my first love. I been wanting to ask you out ever since you helped me get here a year and a half ago." Hinako answered honestly.
"No I won't do it for three reasons. The first one I already stated, The second is that I will be fateful to my dead wife until I die. So when I do I will be together with her again, and she will know that I kept our vows even when death did us part. Last but not least, even if I wasn't going to be fateful to my dead wife I would never go out with you. I hate you more then Satin for what you have done! Now get out of my house before I call the police and say that you are trespassing on my property!" Soun said the with even more venom in his voice.
Hinako looked at Soun's face and saw pure malice and anger in his aura. Her eyes began to form tears only for her to stop at the last second.
"Before I go let me give you this advice. If you ever want anyone to become close to your youngest daughter she needs to learn how to trust and communicate with that person. That was why Ranma and Akane failed. Did you ever talk with Akane about this?" Said Hinako, but Soun wasn't listening.
Before Hinako could give him anymore advice Soun grabbed the phone and began to dial 911. Before he could make the fake report Hinako ran out the door as fast as her legs could carry her.
'I see that what Happosai said was true he does hate me and wants nothing to do with me. No matter I will go to Ukyo's shop, find Ranma, and let him know I am all his now.' Hinako thought as she felt the Anti Ranma Hinako in her mind disappear.
While running Hinako has some more thoughts about what happened the day before with Ranma. Just the thought of doing it with Ranma again made her panties get moist. Pushing these thoughts to the back of her mind before she could cum on herself, Hinako ran the rest of the way to Ukyo's restaurant only to over hear the current situation at hand.
Stage out
So end part 4 of my first Valentine. I thank those who put my story into there favorites and alerts as well as those who take the time to review my work. To answer your question slaaneshgod sadly I don't have a beta reader. I just read each of my chapters several times to in an attempt to root out errors I find in my work and reread it to see if it flows better. I agree with you on the account of correcting one own writing 100 percent. Also for those who didn't know this when Ranma is in his female form I will use her instead of him and visa versa.
On a personal note this site need more Ranma Hinako fanfics I just looked through the site and saw that my fanfic is the only one with a Ranma and Hinako paring in this way and I must say I am saddened my it T-T. Remember people R and R but even if you don't I will see this fanfic through to the end :D
