My Own Family

Chapter 4 – Shopping may be Fun and Games, But Where's the Doctors?

Notes: Ranma has been to Jusenkyo, but hasn't been dunked…yet.  After knocking his father into spring of drowned Rabbit, Ranma immediately leaped to the ground to ask the guide, the rest follows, including the Joketsuzoku, Here some stuff happens, that will spoil the story for you.  And now, Ranma the 'male', nymphomaniac girl has finally arrived at the Tendo's home.  And now, Ranma has just started school, winning the affections (well partially) from Tofu, and alienating Kuno completely (to the envy of Akane).  Thanks to the fear of Miyuka from Kuno, Nabiki is now getting protection fees, to 'try' and keep Miyuka away from him, and with that money, they are going, on a shopping spree.

                "Oh, come on Onee-chan, it'll be fun," Ranma said as he helped Kasumi cook the food, his voice had returned to it's original tone, but was only because he was asked to by his 'Uncle'.

                "No, I'll be all right here, I enjoy cooking," Kasumi answered back.

                "Yeah so do I, but wouldn't It be great to get a dress for when Tofu-sensei asks you out?" Ranma said, both a smirk, and disappointment on his face.

                "Tofu-sensei and…me?  Don't be ridiculous," Kasumi said, embarrassment on her face.

                "No, it's true, when I was around him yesterday, he went all goofy, and I hadn't even really put on the 'charm', Akane said, he does the same for you, because he loves you, seems he likes me too," Ranma said, finishing the cutting and putting the food aside, to take the next task, not noticing that Kasumi was frozen still.

                'He likes me,' Kasumi said happily, then realized, 'but, he also likes Ranma.'

                "Ranma," she said harshly, Ranma turned and looked at her, "I challenge you for the heart of Tofu-sensei."

                Well, Ranma said he would back down if Kasumi said she wanted him, but this was an issue of challenge, and so, Tofu was still technically eligible to Ranma, "your on Kasumi," he said, brining on his feminine voice again, "and I will win."

                With that, both stopped working together on the food, and worked on separate dishes.

                At diner time, there was a HUGE feast before the family, on TWO separate tables, one with Kasumi's food and the other with Ranma's.  Genma's mouth was pouring with drool, while Akane, Nabiki and Soun just looked on amazed, as both Kasumi and Ranma worked against each other.  Then they both sat down together and intently watched the family, waiting for them to test the food.

                "Well," they asked simultaneously, everyone noticing that Ranma was using his feminine voice again, yet more shocking, was that Kasumi didn't use her soft voice, both voices almost exactly the same.

                "Hmm, what's this all about?" Nabiki asked, curious.

                "Well, Ranma told me about Tofu-sensei, and how he acts around both of us, and I issued a challenge for the right to date Tofu-sensei," Kasumi replied.

                "And Kasumi, you forgot to mention I will win Tofu-sama," Ranma snickered, Kasumi whirling on her, both were staring into each others eyes, neither giving up, neither noticing their hands reaching into a game of 'mercy' (that hand lock game), and neither noticing their family passing and mixing foods from both tables.

                "Wow, look at them?" Akane said as she actually looked at the battle of wills between the two cooks, then seeing their aura's come into play, Kasumi's being a white with pink and gold overtones, Ranma's being white with gold and pink overtones (technically it's a difference).

                "Whoa, it looks about equal, and this food, tastes about equal," Nabiki said, then noticing both Kasumi and Ranma stopped to look at them.

                "They are?" Kasumi said

                "Oh great," Ranma said afterwards.

                "So I guess it's a, gulp draw," Nabiki said, when she saw them get back into their staring game again.

                "Hmm, Saotome, maybe it isn't so bad your son thinks he's a girl, why, he cooks as good as Kasumi, and she's the best in Nerima, now they're on par, and we have them to cook for us," Soun said proudly.

                "But I want my son back, I MUST have my son back, and this fight is childish, I don't care how this food tastes…" That didn't stop him from eating though, but the onslaught of both Kasumi and Ranma.

                "You stay out of this and shut up," they yelled as they both punted him into LEO (Low Earth Orbit, FTWDK – For Those Who Don't Know) with mallets, Akane wondering where they got them from.

                "Ooh, nice shot, first man without a rocket to go into space," Nabiki said as she saw the whole in the roof.

                "Ranma, why don't we…"

                "…only compete for Tofu's love, by…" Ranma followed.

                "…appealing to him a…" Kasumi added.

                "…his tastes?" Ranma said, then suddenly they were in each other's faces.

                "Yes!" they said simultaneously, scaring the rest of the family.

                "Well, I'm going to shop for a new dress, coming, Kasumi?" Ranma said, smirking.

                "Yes I will, and I will look better than you for my dear Tofu-sensei," Kasumi said, both left for their items (outside wear, coats, money) and then both were out the door, Nabiki and Akane frantically trying to catch up.

                "Hmm, this is very, strange," Soun said, just before Genma landed beside him from his flight, only for the rain the start, changing Genma into a white rabbit, "don't you agree Saotome," the rabbit just nodded.

                Everyone was staring at the spectacle, Kasumi, the sweet caring woman, who had taken the heart of Tofu-sensei, was marching down the street side by side with another woman, both having a white aura blazing, whenever anyone was in front of them, they just plainly got out of the way, fast.  Nabiki and Akane were just trying to keep up, holding the bags that contained every piece of clothing bought by either of the two in front, what was mainly slowing them down, was how the hell, Miyuka (kept to my word) was able to were a bikini swim suit, and look like a girl doing so, in fact, he rivaled both Akane and Nabiki in looks, so did Kasumi, but she was ALL woman, they were still wondering how he managed to hide his 'package' and keep the fake breasts without letting of he was really a boy, that they missed the latest store that the two competitors walked into.  Quickly back trekking, they noticed it was a Chinese clothing store.

                "Err, this, again, is new for Kasumi," Nabiki said, she had lived with her older sister all her life, and had NEVER seen this side of her.

                "Yeah, Ranma, err, Miyuka may actually be helping her open up," Akane said, amazed by this new Kasumi, yet also frightened, now she was glad she never told Kasumi about Tofu, and how she also had a fancy for him, well not anymore.

                Upon entering, they came up upon the scene of Kasumi in a red Chinese cheongonism and Ranma in a white cheongonism, both showing of classy figures (Ranma's figure amazing both Nabiki and Akane).

                "You both look beautiful in those," the saleslady had said, this was said by every sales lady they had ever asked when buying clothes, and when asked who looked better, they were always equal, and Nabiki and Akane were getting jealous, not only because Kasumi was better looking than them, but Ranma was ALSO managing to pull it off.

                "Thank you," both said in their most cheeriest ways, Akane and Nabiki groaning, Nabiki then noticed that they were buying their new found clothes (along with three different sets, each), and groaned, as she knew, she would be paying for Kasumi…again.

                "Hmm, I need a new haircut," Miyuka said, Kasumi nodding.

                It was two hours later, they had gotten their hair cut, Kasumi's was a nice volume that framed her face, Miyuka doing the same only the bottom part was tied into a ribbon that was hiding the dragons whisker (think Tsunami's hair from Tenchi Muyo for her really, just black), bought more clothing and as the shops were closing, Nabiki and Akane were up to their eyes in bags, it was at this time, that someone thought that they'd be nice people to ask a question.

                "Err, excuse me, do any of you know where I am?" a rough looking boy wearing a bandana asked them.

                "Why, yes, anyway we can help," both Kasumi and Miyuka bringing out bright smiles and twirling towards him, Miyuka's eye's widening in surprise.

                "Ryo-chan?" he squealed as he leapt onto the boy.

                "Err, do I, err, know you?" he said nervously, as he was face to face with a cute 'girl'.

                "Don't you remember me Ryouga, it's me Ranma," Miyuka said to him, seeing the boy's eyes widen in disbelief.

                "Ranma? Ranma? RANMA?" he roared, "you coward, first you flee to China, now you pretend to be a girl to escape ME?  YOU ARE NO MAN!"

                "Of course I'm no man, I'm a woman, my names Miyuka now" Miyuka answered back in disbelief.

                "LIAR, YOU ARE A COWARD WHO RAN OUT ON OUR MAN TO MAN DUAL," Ryouga shouted back.

                Akane and Nabiki were getting irritated around about now, not because of the bickering, but the fact that they had to stand there and hold all those bags

                "Err, if I remember correctly, I waited three days and YOU didn't turn up, my cute, little, oh so manly friend," Ranma was getting lusty again as he looked at Ryouga's muscles.

                Ryouga was starting to get nervous, then he remembered, her was supposed to be angry at Ranma, "Damn you, I got there on the fourth day and you had left for China," Ryouga said angry.

                "But the lot was behind you house, oh, I'm so sorry Ryo-chan, want to kiss and make up?" Ranma said, getting his face closer to Ryouga's, inch by inch, before Kasumi grab her by the scruff of the neck.

                "Stop Miyuka, or you'll forfeit, oh, then go ahead," Kasumi chuckled, scaring Akane and Nabiki.

                "Oh, I was only playing with him, he's only a friend, because Tofu-sama will be mine.

                "No, mine."

                "Mine!"

                "No, Mine!"

                "MINE!"

                "NO, MINE!"

                "Err, what's going on," Ryouga asked Akane and Nabiki confused?  They started to fill him in on the competition.

                "HAHAHA, you mean to tell me, that Ranma Saotome, the 'greatest man ever' as he put it, is fighting with a girl over a boy, HAHAHA" Ryouga was laughing his head off as Kasumi and Ranma whirled on him.

                "Tofu-sama, is NOT a boy, you little boy," Kasumi and Ranma simultaneously said as they both pulled out mallets and sent him into LEO.

                "Whoa, nice hang time," Nabiki whistled, then realized that was a bad idea, as shell fell from loss of concentration, throwing the bags in the air, which landing on and crushed Akane, who just said.

                "Ite."

                "Err, Tofu-sensei, Akane needs your help," Nabiki said, noticing that Kasumi and Miyuka spent three seconds exactly, to change into their sexiest, most daring outfits.

                "Yes, Nabiki, I'm on my way out," the doctor sounded from the door, opening, he was greeted to the sight of two angels, in REALLY provocative outfits, we are talking Succubus lust clothing here.

                "Miyuka, Kasumi, so nice of you to…" he wasn't able to finish, as he suddenly collapsed on the floor unconscious, Nabiki walking up to him to check his pulse.

                "He's dead," Nabiki announced, then being thrown to the wall as both Miyuka and Kasumi rushed to his side, both back in their normal cloths somehow, Kasumi's hair tied back into a pony tail over her shoulder, while Miyuka's was back into a pigtail.

                "Tofu-sama," they both cried, then glairing at each other.

                "Hey, hey, maybe you two, should call it a truce until Tofu-sensei is better," Nabiki said, groaning as she got back up.

                "Do you agree to that, Ranma?" Kasumi asked Ranma.

                "Yes, I do Kasumi, truce," Ranma held out his hand.

                "Truce," Kasumi shook it, then they were both smiles again and helped Tofu get better again, well, as much as they could, before he became conscious again and Nabiki pushed them out of the room, warning them of the dangers.

                "My angels, p-p-pure heaven," Tofu was babbling as Nabiki tried to wake him up.

                "Err, this is going to be a long night." Was all she could say.

Well, I thought I'd bring Ryouga into it early, oh and don't worry, with the new Kasumi and Ranma, I doubt he will see Akane as beautiful like he does in the canon version, but you never know, but you should DEFINETLY expect something different with him later on, in other words, he will return.  Oh and how do you like the new Kasumi?  I thought I did the new version of her really well myself, OOC yeah, but still well, anyway, please don't flame, I burn easy, instead, give some ideas for the future, I probably will use them to make you happy.

Next Episode – A Nice Surprise, The Schools P.E. Shock

                It's another school day, and the sports trial outs are up, can Ranma really stop himself from trying to attempt the competition?

See you then, and remember:
