My school is starting this week... I hope I will survive this. Please read and review!
Chapter Ten
Their lips came in contact, and the whole room was silent. Ranma stood there shocked, as Shampoo forces open Ranma's mouth, and sticks in her tongue. Ranma sweat dropped and thought, Gah! What is happening? Is this suppose to feel like kissing a girl? What the hell! This is my first kiss too! Soun was there and he started tearing up. The panda was hiding behind Soun in disappointment. Kasumi sat there and said nothing, and Nabiki stood there in awe. Akane had already left before all this had happened. And Ryoga was on the ground laughing. Shampoo finally finishes and takes out her tongue.
"Wo ai ni." Shampoo said, hugging Ranma tightly. Ranma sweat dropped and thought, What's that suppose to mean? Ranma tries to push away Shampoo, but for some reason he couldn't. Even if he was in his boy form that should've gave him greater strength.
"She means... I love you." Nabiki translated, as she reads the chinese book. She slams down the book and glares at Ranma.
"Serious? Now you got yourself another girl, what do you know." Nabiki said, suddenly standing up and walking away. Ranma thought, What's her problem? Is anyone going to help me?
"Sh-Sh-Shampoo. Please, get off." Ranma said, as he shoved Shampoo away. Soun starts yelling at the panda.
"What's the meaning of this, Genma?" Soun asked. The panda just shook its head, showing that it had no idea.
"Is that your girlfriend, Ranma?" Soun asked, with a twisted evil face. Ranma shivered.
"No way! What makes you think that she's my girlfriend just 'cause she kissed me? Huh?" Ranma yelled. Soun sweat dropped.
"Well you both seem to be very close." Soun said, pointing out that Shampoo has gotten closer to Ranma and hugged him. Ranma sweat dropped.
"No! This is a misunderstanding! I never had an relationship with anyone before!" Ranma screamed.
Outside, Ranma walked out, with Shampoo following him. He was looking for Akane, which he found her doing martial arts.
"Hey Akane." Ranma said, inching away from Shampoo. Akane looked around and glared.
"What do you want?" Akane said with attitude. "Go flirt with your girlfriend for all I care. Just heard from Nabiki about your kiss. Hmmmph!" Akane punches the thick wood like it was no problem. Ranma sweat dropped, and thought, Thank god I'm not that thick wood... Probably might even end up like that one...
"Akane! Remember? I told you the story about the Amazon tribe! I guess Shampoo had to forced to marry me due to the rules of the tribe!" Ranma explained, as Shampoo cuddles against him. "If a woman defeats her, she gives the kiss of death, BUT if a man defeats her... She gives the kiss of marriage..." Akane gripped her fist, and punched the next thick wood.
"I don't care. Just do whatever. Besides, our engagement was just a stupid plan between our dads." Akane said. Ranma felt like his heart was torn. He thought, All this time... I felt something for her... Only for her. But now Nabiki and Shampoo just made it worse...
"It's not true! Don't say that!" Ranma shouted. He shrugged off Shampoo, and runs to Akane and hugs her. Akane was surprised and blushed.
"What are you doing? Get off!" Akane said, trying to push him away. But it's Ranma... In boy form... I just can't stand being near a boy! That's not important now! Ranma was still holding onto Akane for a few more seconds and lets go. Akane blushed and looked down, while Ranma sighed, hoping he calmed her down. Now Shampoo has seen this scene, and got jealous.
"Ranma mine! Not you!" Shampoo screamed, as she throws one of her heavy ball tools at Akane. Akane dodges it, and walks away like nothing happened. Ranma and Shampoo sweat dropped and thought, Did she do that unitentionally? As Akane walked to the household, to her room, she noticed P-chan.
"P-chan! It's great to see you!" Akane happily said, as she picked up her pet. The pig squealed.
"Oink? Oink, Oink?" The pig said. Akane giggled.
"Your asking why I'm happy? Sigh... I don't know... I just feel this sudden burst of great energy..." Akane smiled as she pets P-chan.
Ranma was on the roof, and was thinking about lots of things. He was still in his cursed form. He thought, Sigh... Man, how can this get any worse? Even Akane might plan break the engagement! Wait... Why do I care? Sure I care about Akane and all... but why do I feel so protective of the engagement? Nevermind... Shampoo... She was kind of actually cute... but Akane is way better... Why do I feel hot?
"Gah! Hot!" Ranma screamed as she jumped off. She turned around to see Ryoga.
"So... I heard you are engaged to Akane... EVEN IF YOU'RE A GIRL?! That is ridiculous. That makes it even easier for me to have her. Besides, girls don't marry, am I right?" Ryoga said, smirking.
"Shuddup! I'll tell Akane about your curse if you do things that are unnecessary! But you have to pour hot water on me?" Ranma said, gripping her fist.
"Hehe... It little bit too late, eh? Shampoo's after you now." Ryoga said, pointing behind Ranma. Ranma turned to see Shampoo coming towards her.
"Holy crap!" Ranma screams as she jumps out of the way. She kicks Ryoga down and runs away. She ran across the neighborhood screaming, as Shampoo swishes her sword at her sworn enemy. Ranma thought, I will really kill you Ryogaaaaaa!
The next morning, Akane wakes up. She seems to be in a good mood. As she sleepily walks down the hallway, she thought, I might as well wake up Ranma too. She walks to the visitor's room, and opens the door. There was Ranma and the panda... Along with Shampoo sleeping beside the male Ranma. Akane popped a vein, and walked off to get hot water. When she came back, she spilled a little of the hot water onto Ranma's head. Ranma slowly opened her eyes to see Akane in front of her.
"Oh... Hi Akane... Good morning..." Ranma said, as she slowly gets up an feels something heavy. She looks to see the sleeping Shampoo on her lap. She thought, Holy crap! How did she get here?! Shampoo woke up from her lover's sudden movement and slowly sat up to see her enemy.
"Lover why wake early?... Ranma?!" Shampoo said. Ranma waved her hands.
"Please! Have mercy!" Ranma said as she quickly gets up to run. She runs down the hallway and Shampoo follows. Once Ranma finally manages to reach to the bathroom without Shampoo seeing her, she splashed herself with hot water, and quietly walked downstairs.
Few hours later of escaping Shampoo's grasp, and safely arriving to school in her normal body form, Ranma and Akane were in class, it was lunch time. Ranma was sitting with Akane's friends Sayuri and Yuka.
"Ahh! Finally lunch time! I wasn't able to eat!" Ranma said, wolfing down the food she got from what Akane made for her . Sayuri giggled.
"Hungry? Was something keeping you busy, Ranma-chan?" Sayuri asked, getting a napkin to wipe Ranma's messy mouth. Ranma blushed at the action.
"Um, well... Yeah, I guess you could say that." Ranma said. She thought, Yeah, Shampoo kept chasing me all the time! Akane chuckled, knowing what Ranma was thinking about. Sayuri giggled.
"You looked like a little kid, so I really wanted to wipe the mess on your mouth! So cute!" Sayuri smiled, having sparkles around her. Ranma sweat dropped.
"Hey! I'm 16! Same age as everyone here! Don't treat me like a kid!" Ranma said, crossing her arms and pouting. Yuka spoke up.
"Hey by the way... Sayuri and I were at that gymnastic contest! You were great!" Yuka said, taking a sip from her juice box. Ranma smiled.
"Thanks! It was harder than I expected, but I won anyways!" Ranma said proudly. Yuka continued.
"And didn't you say your name was something like... Ranko? I thought your name was Ranma." Yuka asked, suspiciously. Sayuri looked up, and nodded.
"Yeah, now that I thought about it... Why did you say Ranko?" Sayuri asked, pointing her chopsticks at Ranma. Ranma sweat dropped, and looked at Akane. Akane looked over and gave the 'it's your fault, not mine' look. Ranma looked back down and gulped.
"Uhhhh... Oh I did? Ooops, I probably said it wrong because I was nervous at that time... Just don't worry about it." Ranma said. The two girls looked at each other and shrugged. They all continued eating. Ranma sighed, and thought, Thank god! That was scary, I hoped they really fell for it... Few minutes later, the wall nearby bursted open. Everyone screamed as they backed away from the damaged wall. It was Shampoo, and she had a pan with food in it.
"Hey Ranma~! Where are you?" Shampoo called for her 'lover', but Ranma already ran for the exit and disappeared. Akane was still at her own table, and acted as if nothing happened. Ranma kept running down the hallway, hurriedly rushing to the boy's bathroom. It was empty, and so Ranma splashed cold water on herself. As he walked out, he realized he needed to go the bathroom. He thought, Crap! Bad timing! He runs back to the bathroom, and goes to the toilet and sits down. He thought, Something feels wrong here... He looked down to see his junk. Ahhh! I'm in my boy form, but I don't know how to do this thing!
Ranma stands up to walk out, but happens to see Shampoo walking across the hallway. Ranma sweat dropped, and thought, Crap! I'm trapped here, and I really need to pee! Ranma turned around and stared at the toilet seat.
At least thirty minutes later, Ranma walked out the bathroom, and was blushing. He thought, So that how you do it... You just had to pull it out, and let it flow... Ew. Ranma looked around for Shampoo, and tiptoed back to class. Before he could get there, a teacher walked a long.
"Hey, you look unfamiliar. Are you new to school?" The teacher asked. Ranma sweat dropped, and decided to run away, hoping he won't get caught. He finally made the exit, and arrived outside. Ranma panted and thought, Thank god for the training I've been doing with my dad... Unfortunately, somehow Shampoo manages to hug him from behind without noticing.
"Sh-Sh-Shampoo? H-How?" Ranma said, gulping. He thought, Too be honest, I'm getting tired of being chased around by her as a boy... and being chased to kill as a girl! How can this be? Sometime later I will have to stop this! Ranma backs away from Shampoo.
"Look Shampoo... I got a question for ya." Ranma said, hoping she would hear him out.
"Anything for my lover!" Shampoo said, putting her hands together. Ranma slapped himself in the face.
"Oh okay... Well, why do you want to kill Girl-Ranma?" Ranma asked, gripping his fists, and sweat dropping.
"I give kiss of death to girl Ranma. I kill her!" Shampoo said, frowning, but suddenly smiled. "but boy Ranma I give kiss of marriage!" Shampoo happily said, as she grabs one of his arm and nudges her face on it.
"W-well... Why do you want to marry me? There's got to be someone else! Trust me, I'm... Uh... weird..." Ranma tried to explain.
"You I love." Shampoo ignored his questions, and got closer to his face. Ranma blushed and back away. Hee thought, Ack! Too close! My first kiss has been already taken from her, and I don't want to do that again! Maybe it's best if I tell her that I'm actually girl-Ranma... Should I?
"Sh-Sh-Shampoo! Let's make a deal, if you do what I want, I'll do a favor for you, okay?" Ranma asked.
"Yes! You kill Aka-" Shampoo said but interrupted by Ranma.
"No, other than killing Akane, or marrying you. Try again." Ranma said, crossing his arms.
"Hmmm... You kill girl-Ranma!" Shampoo said, frowning. Ranma sweat dropped and thought, Seriously? Yup, I need to tell her.
"Look, Shampoo..." Ranma said. "There's a secret I've been hiding... and I want to show it to you at the Tendo's household."
"Yes! I go!" Shampoo agreed to go there. She wanted to know what he was hiding. She thought, Does he love me? Does he want to marry me? Is this what he is hiding from me? Squeal~!
Ranma runs into the neighborhood, with Shampoo following along. As they arrive there, Ranma opened the door.
"Hey I'm back..." Ranma said. He walked towards the living room, where he found everyone eating dinner. Akane saw him.
"Where have you been? I walked home alone! ... What's Shampoo doing with you?" Akane asked, frowning. Ranma shrugged.
"Here, Shampoo. C'mon over here." Ranma said, guiding her near the pond. Ranma grabs a bucket, and gets the water from the pond.
"Watch me carefully. You see me as a boy." Ranma said, as Shampoo nodded happily. Ranma thought, I guess this is it... Once she finds out, she will kill me anyways, boy or girl... Sigh... Here we go. Ranma pours the water on his head, and transformed to her normal self. Shampoo raised her brow.
"Sorry Shampoo... Truth is... I'm girl Ranma. So I don't know if you want to marry me or kill me." Ranma said in disbelief. She thought, Yup, it's over now, and I will have to leave this place right away. Shampoo shuddered her shoulders, and glared at her shoulders. She lunges towards Ranma, who lost her balance due to the sudden action. Shampoo had her weapons out and was about to attack Ranma. Ranma thought, It's over... Huh? Why don't I feel anything? Ranma opened her eyes, and see that Shampoo was crying.
"Good bye." Shampoo said her last words and jumped into thin air, but before she was able to lift her feet, Ranma grabbed her arm.
"Wait, don't go yet. How about we start over? As friends?" Ranma said, holding out her hand to Shampoo. Shampoo blushed, and shook her head.
"No... I no friend with you. I cannot." Shampoo said, turning away. Ranma shrugged.
"C'mon... Screw the Amazon tribe rules and at least make peace with me... Please?" Ranma said, still having her hand out. Shampoo took few seconds thinking about it. She thought, If my great grandmother doesn't know about this, then it probably may be fine... As long as she knows she is a boy, then it's okay... Shampoo hesitantly turned and walked towards Ranma's hand. Ranma smiled and thought, So I guess it's okay? Shampoo walks towards Ranma, passing the hand, and hugged her suddenly.
"Sh-Sh-Shampoo?" Ranma said, feeling weak. Shampoo finally smiled.
"Girl-Ranma my friend now," Shampoo said. Ranma felt her shoulders feel light at last. "but boy-Ranma still my lover." Everyone in the living room shouted,
"What?!" Ranma sweat dropped, patting Shampoo on the back. She thought, as long she doesn't kill me... Then it's all good.
