Hi this is Benji Himura. I am now starting a new fanfic. Is a Ranma 1/2 story. I don't own Ranma1/2 or any of the characters. Some anime or manga characters might show up in the story I also don't own then. I own Benji Himura and others characters that will show up in the story. It might be violence and sex in the story so if you are underage of seventeen are warned the content might be too improper to your age. Read by your own will and risk. In anyway enjoy the story.

Signed: Benji Himura.

This story begins before the Dojo destroyer incident. If you dislike changes in things that people call CANNON then it is better stop reading here. If you dislike Self-Inserted fics then stop reading here. If you dislike both then don't read from me. If you like both or you want to see what I will do then I welcome you to read my fic. And please if you are a purist fan and think that I ruined the story save the harsh comments for yourself. I don't mind being flamed but just say that you disliked. If you send a harsh flaming review I might send a harsh answer. If you just disliked and review saying me so it is fine. I can't please everyone. But please don't do as few reviewers that I had and send harsh reviews that are basically the same one almost crucifying me. I could say name but I won't. If you want to know who just see my reviews. They are still there. Any review is welcome. But please when writing think if you would like to get an answer with harsh words if you use harsh words. And by harsh I mean cursing, name-calling or even saying things about me or someone else that you don't know. Advices, constructive critics, comments about the story or characters, pointing mistakes in spelling, asking for pre-read and questions that I can answer with out giving any secret of the story, will be welcomed. Flames will be read and answered as civil as possible. But remember I also can lose my temper and send a flaming answer.

Author notes: I am trying a new story style on this fic, it might be slight different from my usual one and if I dislike it I might change to my normal style.

Chapter twenty one: Aftershock

Three days passed since Nodoka was kidnapped, the entire incident was a harsh blow in everyone's spirit. Ukyo, Shampoo, Mousse, Konatsu and Ryoga feel guilty because they failed to act when needed too. Ranma feels guilt for being unable to protect his mother, being part of the cause of her rape and because deep down he was happy that he wasn't raped on his female form.

Nabiki doesn't show any guilt or problems after it, thought she stopped inciting Benji to have sex with her, she knows that after that the last thing on his mind is sex, still Nabiki uses Sakura eagerness to please to handle her needs and distract her. While the younger girl isn't as skilled or even equipped as Benji she is good enough to hold back Nabiki's need.

Benji is the one that is taking things on the worse way, since he was the so called leader of the group it was his order of resting and wait for Nodoka to stop being moved and Mousse return with Ryoga and Ukyo that might have been the reason of Nodoka's current condition. Because he said that they should wait until morning to attack.

Now Nodoka lies broken in a hospital bed, Inue found many small cuts and some small internal bleedings inside Nodoka and treated them, yet the swordswoman doesn't respond to any kind of stimulus. The worse part of everything is that just took Benji and Ranma to defeat everyone on the warehouse that fact alone makes Benji feel even worse.

More days pass and the mood of the revised Nerima wrecking crew just get worse; the once cheerful mood of them is gone. While the damage on the Himura house was repaired the house is once again empty, Ranma is sleeping on his former room on the Tendo house so are Benji. Konatsu is with Ukyo and both left for a so called summer traveling sales on the shore.

Everyone knew the truth, they were too shocked with the passed events to stay in Nerima, Ryoga wandered off to unknown places and this time he wasn't alone, Shampoo went with him. Mousse left the Nekohanten with the excuse of chasing Shampoo, but it was clear that the duck boy needed to reflect on his actions, he saw that he didn't acted much different from the cloaked group and that if he had a chance he would do the same to Shampoo to make her his.

Nabiki is back to her Ice queen age, actually because of the lack of proper sex and attention from Benji she is even worse gaining a upgrade to the title and she is not the frozen nitrogen empress, Sakura is now around Nabiki most of the time and is rumored to be the chosen successor of Nabiki once the now nitrogen empress graduates. Sakura is actually trying her best to please Nabiki, but she can tell that isn't enough by the way that Nabiki is acting when they are alone. While she is around Benji, Nabiki is submissive and treated Sakura as a new acquisition to Benji's harem, now with out Benji dealing with her Nabiki is turning aggressive in a sadistic bondage way, while Sakura don't like of everything that Nabiki pulls she obeys out of respect, love and even fear of what the older woman can pull on her.

Unlike Nabiki, Sakura cares about her reputation it would ruin her family honor if the fact that she have sex with Benji and Nabiki is discovered and will be even worse if the fact that Nabiki is making her use sex toys in the school and in public leaked. As most Sakura hates to admit Benji was the closest thing of a leash to control Nabiki.

Cologne watched everything from the outside, she can understand everyone's feelings about the incident, specially Benji's because Cologne is a matriarch an elder of the amazons she led uncountable warriors in past battles and wars for the glory of her village and more than once some of her warriors were captured and raped by the enemy, she understand the weight of the leadership when a plan fails, even the taste victory doesn't easy the bitter taste of having a companion raped.

The Amazon is honestly surprised that Benji haven't appealed to the alcohol in an attempt of easing his pains, many would have used it as a crutch the fact that he didn't just made Cologne pleased with his inner strength. The reality is that Benji doesn't like to drink certain alcoholic beverages and doesn't like the feeling of the hangover and other side effects of the alcohol, so instead of drowning himself in alcohol Benji increased his consume of sodas, while not alcoholic he likes the taste and the little pleasure that they can bring on the moment doesn't help all that much.

For the Nekohanten it was a harsh blow that Shampoo wandered with Ryoga and Mousse left after her, Cologne had to cancel the deliveries for a while and the male clientele that Shampoo attracted didn't showed up since she isn't there, well taking out the few that go there for the food and Shampoo. But because Benji's depression the female costumers only increased because they are fantasying that he is heartbroken and depressed over it.

So the income of the Nekohanten didn't lowered all that much, but Benji's workload increased, he didn't complain that helped him to keep his mind busy and he didn't think about the entire incident.

Once again Ranma is on the hospital on Nodoka's private room, he did that everyday after classes and stayed there until the end of the visiting hours, the nurses even allowed him to stay there for an extra half an hour because they feel touched with such devotion and sadness of Ranma.

Much later on that day Ranma leaves the hospital he meets Benji on the way, the duo doesn't trade a greeting just walk in silence together.

The mood on the Tendo living room is heavy, the TV is on and they are having dinner but no one speaks other than a praise to Kasumi's food or a half-heartily comment about the news. Nabiki want to shout 'Get over it' but she knows that this isn't something easy to deal, death was somehow easier to deal with than rape, death ends everything including suffering while rape is only the beginning of the suffering.

Few more days pass like that with no further incidents but with the group breaking apart. It is lunch hour and Benji and Ranma are eating in silence under a tree as they usually do, a huge pig breaks into the school grounds, it charges at Benji and Ranma. Ranma moves in a blur of a motion and knocks the pig to the general direction of Kyoto. "Odd." Ranma commented sitting.

A girl runs to Ranma and hands him a letter, she is about to run but Benji holds her by the scurf of her neck preventing it. Ranma fumes in anger. "Miss I don't need that." he said in a serious tone. "You see I am gay." Punctuating his words Ranma kisses Benji, but isn't just a normal lip to lip kiss; but a very deep and passionate French kiss.

Already knowing what Ranma is doing Benji respond to the kiss, the girl and everyone on the school is shocked stiff. Benji breaks the kiss. "You see I am not into girls." Ranma added, the girl nods defeated walking away with her head low. "Next time Ranma have a mint before you kiss me." Benji warned. "I nearly threw up because of your okonomiaki." "Sorry I wasn't exactly thinking." Ranma replied blushing. "I am surprised that you didn't do anything like trying to hit me or calling me a pervert for kissing you."

"Ranma we had agreed before that if we needed we would pretend that you was gay and I was your boyfriend, second I was thinking that I was kissing your girl side and third I am aware and sure of my manhood to not be shaken by it." Benji said in a serious tone. Ranma nods impressed with Benji's reassuring words.

When the school is over the entire school already heard about the kiss and is gossiping about it, not that Ranma helped to dismiss the rumor since he now she is firmly attached on Benji's left arm with her head resting on his arm, it was to make sure that the rumor would stay strong in case of the girl find about Ranma's curse and tries to date him again, there is some girls with really odd tastes on Ranmaverse.

Later on that night Ranma is on the roof of the dojo looking at the sky, he is still on his girl form looking up but not exactly seeing anything, she is too busy thinking to notice his surroundings.

On Ranma's mind the kiss was replaying over and over again, he can't stop thinking on it, how it was everything that he thought that a kiss should be and how he now she wasn't disgusted with it as it happened with Mikado Sanzenin, Ranma knew that compared with the kiss from the lunch the one of that incident wasn't nothing, just lip to lip contact. Ranma Frenched Benji who responded on the same way not caring that they were both males.

Ranma hated to admit but Nagakawa was right he was sexually confused or deep down he saw Benji as a lover material, she can still feel the kiss and the fires that it stirred on her. 'I am a helpless pervert…lusting on him as I am doing…I will try even harder to not lust for him…' Ranma thinks determinated to not think about the incident anymore, she has enough worries on his mind other than lusting on the only person that she trusts her life too.

End of the chapter twenty one:

Author post story note:

It finally happened folks I hinted on the past, said that could occur and now occurred. Benji and Ranma kissed. For anyone reading that like Yaoi must be celebrating. This incident is important to the story development, Benji isn't homosexual and Ranma is sexually confused and was really stressed. Important future scenes and plot development depends of the kiss and the implications of it on the story. So please anyone that don't like of the scene don't flame me, there is fics out there that do even worse that this.
