A Summer's Proposal
Chapter 3: Night of Passion
"Do Akane and Ukyou think man and woman can only be friend. Shampoo no agree. With man/woman relationship, no can be just friend." Shampoo said as she took a sip of her drink.
"Don't be so simple-minded Shampoo," Ukyou scolded. "Just because you and Ryouga had sex, doesn't mean every man and woman that meet will. Right Akane?" Ukyou turned to Akane.
"Well, yea, I guess," Akane said nodding her head.
"See Shampoo, Akane and Ranma are just friends. Not all man/woman relationships lead to love, and sex."
"Actually, Ranma and I are engaged." Akane said quietly. Shampoo and Ukyou turned and looked at her in disbelief. "It's not my idea. My father and his father engaged us even before we were born. My dad's been planning this for years."
"Aiyaa! Akane getting married? That crazy!" Shampoo exclaimed. She looked down at her watch, "Shampoo need to go. Visit airen." She jumped up, and ran out of the door. "Buh-bye!"
Ukyou turned back to Akane, "Congratulations, Akane! I hope you and Ranma will be happy."
"Do you mean that Ukyou? I thought you liked him." Akane asked with a concerned expression on her face.
"Well, sure I'm fine with it. I admit, when I first saw him, I thought that he was the one. But, after getting to know him, and seeing you with him..." Ukyou paused briefly, she grabbed Akane's hand, and looked directly in her eyes, "I just want you to be happy, Akane."
"Thank you Ukyou!" The two friends hugged. "Oh, I have a huge favor to ask of you."
"What is it?"
"Can you please help Ranma teach the classes? I know you two don't get along that well, but we really need someone to help him show things to the students, and... and you do need a job. So... please Ukyou." Akane pleading.
"I don't know, Akane. I know I need a job and everything, but I don't need a job that bad."
"Oh, come on Ukyou, please, help me out here."
"Okay fine, I'll assist." Ukyou said reluctantly.
"Thank you so very much Ukyou, I'll tell my dad the great news."

Ryouga went to the door and opened, "Shampoo!"
"Hello, airen," Shampoo said putting her arms around him, trying to pull him in for a kiss, however Ryouga pulled away.
"What are you doing here Shampoo?" Ryouga asked with annoyance in his voice.
"Shampoo here to make too too delicious meal for her airen," Shampoo pulled out a bag of groceries.
"Actually Shampoo, I gotta go." Ryouga said opening the door to leave.
"No leave, Shampoo give Ryouga good time." Shampoo said draping her arms around him.
"No, sorry Shampoo, I'll see later." Ryouga said gently pushing, her out of his apartment and quickly closing the door behind him, and ran the down the hall, and out of the building.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ding, dong
"Oh hey, Ryouga! What the hell's wrong with you?" Ranma asked as Ryouga was trying to catch his breath.
"Sha-shampoo!" Ryouga couldn't believe how fast that girl could run. "She chased me all the way down here. I finally lost her down near the bar."
"She's that serious about you?" Ranma said as he handed him a glass of water.
"Yeah, she wants to take me back to China, and meet her grandmother. She also mentioned something about staying and being part of an amazon tribe."
"No shit." Ranma said laughing. "I didn't think amazons still existed."
"It's not funny. Anyways, how is it going between you and Akane?"
"You won't believe it, man, but we're engaged."
"Aren't you moving a little too quickly?" Ryouga asked. Then something dawned on him. "Is Akane pregnant already?"
"NO!" Ranma yelled. "Her father, and my pop engaged us even before we were born. So now we're engaged to each other to fulfill the promise. And besides, if I don't, I would be disgracing my family's honor." Ryouga nodded in agreement. "So is there anything I could do for you, man, about Shampoo?" Ranma asked.
"I don't know. Maybe talk to her. Tell her that Mousse likes her, and to go for him instead." Ryouga said.
"Yeah, I'll do that. I'll visit the restaurant that she waitresses at tonight."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Shampoo very surprise to see Ranma here at Cat Café." Shampoo said as she was ringing up Ranma's bill.
"I heard the food was great here, and the fact that this place has cute waitresses doesn't hurt either," Ranma said grinning, as he handed her the money.
"Ranma nice." Shampoo said accepting the money.
"Um, Shampoo, I need to talk to you about something."
"About what?"
"Well, you like Ryouga right?" Shampoo nodded her head happily.
"What would you do if one of Ryouga's friends liked you?" Ranma asked, flashing her his mesmerizing smile. Shampoo simply stared back at him in disbelief. "Think about it, okay Shampoo?"
"Okay."
"Bye." Ranma turned and left the restaurant, and thought to himself, 'That should get Shampoo off Ryouga's back, and hopefully help Mousse out.'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh great!" Ukyou said to no one in particular. "Time to see that jerk again." Ukyou got up and out of bed. She needed to get ready to help teach the first class of the day at the Tendo dojo. She went to her tub, and turned on the facet until she got the right temperature.
"Oh, that would feel good. Hmm," Ukyou thought as she looked at the vanilla scented bubble bath. She picked it up and squirted it into the running water. Then after a little hesitation, she poured a little more. "I may think that he's a jerk, but I at least want him to think that I have good personal hygiene."
After getting out of the tub, Ukyou quickly got dressed. She picked a pair of green sweat shorts, and a white fitted tank top. She brushed her hair, and quickly left for the dojo.
Once there, Ukyou spotted Ranma. "Good morning."
"Good morning." Ranma nodded back at her. But it was quite evident to anyone that saw them, that there was still some tension between them.
Ukyou turned and walked to the farthest wall from him, and began to do some stretches. Ranma watched her silently as she stretched her long, slender legs out in front of her. He watched every curve of her body tense, and relax with her every movement, while Ukyou was completely unaware of his attention.
"Uh, Ranma," Tendo said, "sorry I noticed that I was disturbing you."
"No, not at all, Tendo-san." Ranma blurted out quickly.
"The students are here," Tendo then called out to Ukyou. Ukyou stood up and went over to them. "I know that you two don't get along that well, but at least try. For the students, okay?" Ukyou and Ranma both nodded.
The students filed in and they started out with some simple stretches and a few katas. During each class, Ranma and Ukyou didn't talk to one another unless it was necessary. Of course there were some awkward times when they were grappling each other. At the end, Ranma and Ukyou parted with no words of anger to one another.
'At least we're making some progress,' Ranma and Ukyou thought to themselves.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Shampoo, you and I may have slept together once, but we're both adults. Two people can come together, and have a good time, without any strings attached." Ryouga said. Shampoo and Ryouga were at the Cat Café. Shampoo sat across from him, not really paying any attention to what he was saying.
"Ryouga done talking, yes?" Ryouga nodded, and Shampoo continued. "Shampoo think it smart for Ryouga to get over Shampoo."
"What?" Ryouga said totally confused.
"Ryouga need to find someone else. Shampoo find new love. Okay? Buh-bye Ryouga." Shampoo stood up and left a very confused Ryouga.
"What the hell happened? I was suppose to dump her!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"This is going to be so much fun," Ukyou said happily. "We haven't gone clubbing for some time now."
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Akane replied. The girls met at Shampoo's apartment to meet and go to few of the local clubs. Akane was wearing a pair of tight, black leather pants, and a sparkly, backless tank top. Shampoo was wearing a short, silver mini skirt, with a cropped purple tube top. And Ukyou was wearing a short, backless, red dress, that tied behind her neck.
"How did the classes go Ukyou?" Akane asked.
"It went okay. At least Ranma and I didn't fight." Ukyou said.
"That good. Shampoo no want Spatula Girl to fight with Shampoo's new airen." Shampoo said happily.
"What?" Akane and Ukyou said in unison.
"Shampoo forget to say. Ranma and Shampoo together. Actually, Shampoo want to tell Akane that Shampoo plan to sleep with Ranma. Sorry Akane." Shampoo said giggling with happiness. All of a sudden, SLAP "Aiyaahh! Why Akane do that for?" Shampoo cried, with tears coming done her cheeks.
Akane stood up and left. "Wait Akane don't leave!" Ukyou said as she called after Akane. Ukyou stood up and put an arm around Shampoo to comfort her.
"Shampoo! What happened to Shampoo?!" Mousse cried as he ran in.
"Mousse? What are you doing here?" Ukyou asked.
"I came in when Akane left. What's wrong Shampoo?" Mousse asked. Shampoo turned to Mousse and began to cry into his chest.
"Akane slap Shampoo. She very violent girl!" Shampoo cried.
"Shampoo, I got to go. I need to find out what's happening." Ukyou then ran out of the apartment.
Sob, sob "Mousse, you so nice. Mousse, only one nice to Shampoo." Shampoo looked up at Mousse and smiled. Mousse then pulled Shampoo closer into a tighter hug.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So how was your first day teaching with Ukyou today?" Ryouga asked Ranma. They were sitting together in Ranma's apartment drinking some beer.
"It was okay. At least we didn't fight." Ranma said taking a sip.
"I don't understand why you don't get along with her. She seems pretty nice. Oh yea thanks for talking to Shampoo for me. Whatever you said got her off my back." Ryouga said.
"Yea, no problem, man." Ding, dong Ranma stood up and opened the door.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Ukyou suddenly screamed at Ranma.
"What are you talking about?" Ranma asked back.
"Because of you, our friendship is over." Ukyou screamed back at him.
"What is she talking about, Ranma?" Ryouga asked as she came up behind Ranma.
"I have no idea. Would you just get in?" Ranma said as he tried to yank Ukyou into his apartment.
"Get your hands off me!" Ukyou said backing away from Ranma. All of a sudden, Ranma picked her up, and carried her in. "Let go of me, let go of me, you jerk!" Ranma then dropped her.
"Okay, what are you talking?" Ranma asked.
"Shampoo said that you confessed your love for her, and then Akane got upset, and they fought, and now we can't go clubbing, and our friendship is ruined... and it's all because of you!" Ukyou screamed again.
"Do you know what she's talking about? What did you say to Shampoo, Ranma?" Ryouga asked stepping in between the two before they started to fight.
"Well, I went to Shampoo's restaurant, and spoke to her. I said..." Ranma than began to pale as he realized his bad choice of words.
"What did you say?" Ukyou asked.
Sometime later
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Ukyou said, kneeling and bowing before Ranma. "I'm really sorry. I thought it was a little weird, but oh gosh, I'm so sorry." Ukyou bowed again.
"It's okay, it's my fault. Bad choice of words. She misunderstood what I was saying. Really, it's ok." After seeing that Ukyou stopped bowing, Ranma asked, "do you want a beer?"
"Yeah, that would be great." Ukyou accepted the beer, and popped it open.
"So, you girls were going to go clubbing tonight?" Ryouga asked.
"Yeah, we were. But not anymore." Ukyou said sadly.
"Hey, why don't the three of us go?" Ranma suggested. Ukyou and Ryouga gave him a weird look. "It's not like we have anything better to do. Besides you're already dressed to go Ukyou," Ranma said gesturing to her attire.
"Well, I guess. Sounds fine with me." Ryouga nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's go." Ukyou smiled.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The three new friends were stuck in line. Well, it wasn't that big of a surprise, since that was the hottest club in all of Tokyo.
"We can't just stand here all night like this," Ukyou said totally frustrated. "I'll be back in a sec."
Ukyou then went over to the doorman and began to talk to him. Ranma and Ryouga just watched from a distance as Ukyou leaned in close to the man's ear and began to whisper some stuff to him. Ranma even thought he saw Ukyou lightly kiss him on the neck.
"What does she think she's doing?" Ranma cried out, surprised.
"I think she's getting us in," Ryouga said as he saw Ukyou motioned for them to follow her in.
Once in, Ranma pulled her aside. "Do you always do that?"
"Not all the time. Shampoo's the one that usually does that stuff. Hey, at least we're in." Then Ukyou giggled and walked off to the dance floor.
"Who would of thought that she had it in her?" Ryouga said. They headed off to the bar to order some drinks. They sat on the stool, and watched Ukyou dance. Or rather Ranma did.
"Hey, why aren't you guys on the floor dancing?" A pretty girl asked Ryouga and Ranma.
"Well, I'm not that great of a dancer," Ryouga answered the girl, but Ranma didn't make any reply.
"I can show you how to dance," the girl said as she pulled Ryouga to the dance floor.
Throughout the night, girls kept hitting on Ranma, but he kept acting as if they weren't there. He just watched Ukyou. After awhile, he began to notice that some guy kept hitting on Ukyou, and she kept pushing him away.
Ranma stood up, and approached the two. He put his arm around Ukyou's waist, and pulled her to him. "Hey there honey," Ranma said. He winked at Ukyou.
Understanding, Ukyou replied, "There you are, what took you so long?" Ranma and Ukyou turned and looked at the guy. The guy simply turned and left, mumbling curses to himself. Once he was gone, Ukyou turned back to Ranma, "Whew! Thanks Ranma! I owe you one." She began to pull away from him.
"Well, ok then, you owe me a couple of dances," Ranma said pulling Ukyou back closer to him.
"Okay," Ukyou said as she began to dance with Ranma, and moving to the beat. The two were moving and rubbing their bodies together as the beat of the song got faster, and faster. Ranma watched as the lights shined on Ukyou's body, and the sweat glisten on her bare back. She loved the feeling of his hot breath on her neck. 'Oh, that feels nice,' Ukyou thought to herself. 'Wait, no I can't he's Akane's fiance.'
"Hey Ukyou, Ranma!" Ryouga said tapping Ranma on his shoulder. "I'm going. I'll see you later," Ranma looked pass Ryouga's shoulder and saw the girl from earlier.
"Okay, have fun," Ranma said with a wink. Ryouga lightly punched him on the shoulder and left.
"It's really hot, huh?" Ukyou asked as she continued to dance close to Ranma, and enjoying the scent of his cologne.
"Yeah, it is," he said taking in a sweet whiff of her hair. "Do you want a drink?"
"Okay," Ukyou said as she allowed herself to be lead to the bar. Ranma ordered her a drink. "Hey, Ranma, I'm really sorry about that slap from before." Ukyou gestured to the cheek she had slapped a few days ago.
"I'm really sorry too, Ukyou. I didn't mean it when I said that you were ugly," Ranma said as Ukyou blushed, and looked down at her hands nervously. "In fact you're the hottest girl here tonight," this caused Ukyou's blush to deepen some more.
"Oh, stop it will ya," Ukyou said as she playfully slapped Ranma's shoulder.
"No! I mean it. You are really cute, sexy, and..." Ranma paused a little, "and a great martial artist." Ranma said with a smile.
"Thank you Ranma, that means a lot to me," Ukyou smiled back.
After a few more drinks, Ranma and Ukyou left the club. Ranma was able to hail a cab, as Ukyou nestled her head into Ranma's chest. Ranma carried Ukyou up to her apartment, and tucked her into bed. Ranma smiled down at her. "Goodnight, Ucchan." Ranma said as he closed the door, and went back down to the cab.
"Goodnight, Ranchan." Ukyou mumbled as she fell into a deep sleep.
To be continued...

"I don't know, Akane. I know I need a job and everything, but I don't need a job that bad."
"Oh, come on Ukyou, please, help me out here."
"Okay fine, I'll assist." Ukyou said reluctantly.
"Thank you so very much Ukyou, I'll tell my dad the great news."

Ukyou then went over to the doorman and began to talk to him. Ranma and Ryouga just watched from a distance as Ukyou leaned in close to the man's ear and began to whisper some stuff to him. Ranma even thought he saw Ukyou lightly kiss him on the neck.
"What does she think she's doing?" Ranma cried out, surprised.
"I think she's getting us in," Ryouga said as he saw Ukyou motioned for them to follow her in.
Once in, Ranma pulled her aside. "Do you always do that?"
"Not all the time. Shampoo's the one that usually does that stuff. Hey, at least we're in." Then Ukyou giggled and walked off to the dance floor.
"Who would of thought that she had it in her?" Ryouga said. They headed off to the bar to order some drinks. They sat on the stool, and watched Ukyou dance. Or rather Ranma did.
"Hey, why aren't you guys on the floor dancing?" A pretty girl asked Ryouga and Ranma.
"Well, I'm not that great of a dancer," Ryouga answered the girl, but Ranma didn't make any reply.
"I can show you how to dance," the girl said as she pulled Ryouga to the dance floor.
Throughout the night, girls kept hitting on Ranma, but he kept acting as if they weren't there. He just watched Ukyou. After awhile, he began to notice that some guy kept hitting on Ukyou, and she kept pushing him away.
Ranma stood up, and approached the two. He put his arm around Ukyou's waist, and pulled her to him. "Hey there honey," Ranma said. He winked at Ukyou.
Understanding, Ukyou replied, "There you are, what took you so long?" Ranma and Ukyou turned and looked at the guy. The guy simply turned and left, mumbling curses to himself. Once he was gone, Ukyou turned back to Ranma, "Whew! Thanks Ranma! I owe you one." She began to pull away from him.
"Well, ok then, you owe me a couple of dances," Ranma said pulling Ukyou back closer to him.
"Okay," Ukyou said as she began to dance with Ranma, and moving to the beat. The two were moving and rubbing their bodies together as the beat of the song got faster, and faster. Ranma watched as the lights shined on Ukyou's body, and the sweat glisten on her bare back. She loved the feeling of his hot breath on her neck. 'Oh, that feels nice,' Ukyou thought to herself. 'Wait, no I can't he's Akane's fiance.'
"Hey Ukyou, Ranma!" Ryouga said tapping Ranma on his shoulder. "I'm going. I'll see you later," Ranma looked pass Ryouga's shoulder and saw the girl from earlier.
"Okay, have fun," Ranma said with a wink. Ryouga lightly punched him on the shoulder and left.
"It's really hot, huh?" Ukyou asked as she continued to dance close to Ranma, and enjoying the scent of his cologne.
"Yeah, it is," he said taking in a sweet whiff of her hair. "Do you want a drink?"
"Okay," Ukyou said as she allowed herself to be lead to the bar. Ranma ordered her a drink. "Hey, Ranma, I'm really sorry about that slap from before." Ukyou gestured to the cheek she had slapped a few days ago.
"I'm really sorry too, Ukyou. I didn't mean it when I said that you were ugly," Ranma said as Ukyou blushed, and looked down at her hands nervously. "In fact you're the hottest girl here tonight," this caused Ukyou's blush to deepen some more.
"Oh, stop it will ya," Ukyou said as she playfully slapped Ranma's shoulder.
"No! I mean it. You are really cute, sexy, and..." Ranma paused a little, "and a great martial artist." Ranma said with a smile.
"Thank you Ranma, that means a lot to me," Ukyou smiled back.
After a few more drinks, Ranma and Ukyou left the club. Ranma was able to hail a cab, as Ukyou nestled her head into Ranma's chest. Ranma carried Ukyou up to her apartment, and tucked her into bed. Ranma smiled down at her. "Goodnight, Ucchan." Ranma said as he closed the door, and went back down to the cab.
"Goodnight, Ranchan." Ukyou mumbled as she fell into a deep sleep.
