I finally got back the disk that this story was on. You all seemed to be enjoying the story, so I figured I'd keep going. I hope you enjoy. Kind of sort of adult material in this, you have been warned.
Genma shivered. Soun and Genma were playing shogi.
"What's wrong?" Soun inquired.
"Something's going to happen today," Genma replied.
"Like what?"
"I don't know."
Ranma and Kodachi made their way through Shinjuku. As they left the Keio department store, Kodachi was dressed more appropriately for a day on the town. She had been commenting that while she usually did not dress in this particular attire, the jeans were comfortable and the t-shirt was cool.
"It suits you well," Ranma commented.
"Why, thank you."
"So you want to get something good to eat," Ranma asked, "or see a movie or maybe a round of karaoke?"
"A movie sounds nice," Kodachi commented, "and the food, too."
As they walked through the Shinjuku station, Ranma thought he recognized someone who looked like himself. Ranma wrote that of and continued on with his "date."
The three made their way to Nerima, where it began to rain. So, as a result the boy, girl and pig continued on to the Tendou dojo.
"Bweee! Weeee! Bweee, bweee, bweee!" (Translation: Ahhh!!! She looks like Saotome!)
"Yoiko, could you shut that pig up!" Ranko-kun said.
"Gotcha." Yoiko promptly smacked the pig upside the head.
Ranko picked up Ryouga. "You're a kawaii little thing, ain't 'cha."
The pig blushed. They continued on to the Tendou dojo.
Soun had just finished on of his few baths recently and was sitting in his study reading some ancient texts that had been passed down through his family. He had already decided that the texts were going to Kasumi. Akane would probably destroy them and Nabiki would probably sell them. Not that Nabiki wouldn't get top dollar for them, but they were air looms. They were supposed to stay in the family Tendou. Kasumi would take very good care of them. Then, there was a knock at the door. Soun went to see who it was. Soun was met with the sight of a boy, girl and a kawaii black piglet.
"Hajimemashite, are you Soun Tendou, master of this fine dojo?" Yoiko asked.
"Why yes I am. Who might you be?"
"Yoiko Hibiki's the name, getting lost is my game and this is my friend..."
"Ranko Saotome."
"And this is my brother Ryouga." She held up the pig.
"Bweee," Ryouga squealed as he held up a hoof.
"Ok." Soun was confused.
"Two questions," Yoiko continued, "First, can these two get a quick bath?"
"Sure," Soun replied, "It's around the corner."
The boy and the pig bowed and ran off.
"I'll let Ranko ask you the second," Yoiko said. "Nice place you got here. You don't see many houses in Korea. Ranko and I live in Korea. We all live in apartments"
"Is Ranko your boyfriend?" Soun asked.
Just then a boy and a girl came walking out from the bathroom.
"Ooh, you're pretty buff," Ranko-chan said.
"Ahh, you're sexy Ranko-chan," Ryouga replied.
"What did you two do?" Yoiko asked.
"Got a smoke?" the two of them said in unison.
"Here." Soun handed over two of his cigarettes.
"Thanks," the two said. They took their cigarettes and lit up. Soun realized what that usually meant and slapped his forehead.
"Oh my God! Ranko! What did you and my brother do!" Yoiko exclaimed.
"Nothing."
"That's good," Soun said reassuringly. "So, Ranko, you have a Jusenkyo curse?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Your father's here."
"What!"
"Well, that answers question two," Yoiko said casually.
"And your brother is here as well."
"I have a brother?" Ranko inquired.
"Yes and he turns into you when wet," Soun continued.
Just then Akane and Nabiki came strolling in.
"Oh baby!" Akane squealed. "And who are you two sexy bitches. Have you come to play with the beautiful, amorous Akane?"
"First of all," Ranko began.
"Your not beautiful," Yoiko continued.
"They came here to find Ranko's dad," Ryouga added, "Not play with you."
"Shut up boy!" Akane flared with anger.
"Uh oh," Nabiki warned, "Y'all better run." Nabiki and Yoiko shared a look before Nabiki picked her up and ran off. Ryouga picked up Ranko and followed Nabiki. Soun went back to his study.
"Come back here with my girlfriends!!!" Akane bellowed.
"No way!" Nabiki, Ryouga and Soun yelled.
Akane stalked off. Nabiki, Yoiko, Ranko, Ryouga and Soun regrouped in Soun's study. Nabiki was the first to speak.
"What's the deal with cutie here, Saotome and Saotome's boyfriend? What about Kuno-baby, Saotome?"
"How do you know my name?" Ranko asked.
"Don't play dumb, Saotome," Nabiki said.
"Look, babe," Yoiko said, "Ranko has lived with me for the past ten years. We spent seven of those in Korea."
"Is that so? Show me your passport, Saotome." Ranko handed it over. "Hmm, Saotome, Ranko Moran, 14-23-1 Chung Woon-Dong. Sex...Female?" Nabiki looked at Ranko. "So, you're not Ranma?"
"Uh, no," Ranko replied, "Who the hell is Ranma?"
"I guess he would be your brother."
"Whose brother am I?" Ranma walked into the study, followed by Kodachi.
Ranma and Ranko stood there, stunned, to be looking at how they look in curse form. All was quiet until Genma came in.
"Hmm? Who are you?" Genma asked.
"Are you Genma Saotome?" Ranko asked.
"Yes, who are you?" Genma asked.
"Ranko Saotome." Ranko showed Genma all of the papers she had.
"Why would Nodoka do this to me! She should have known I would have let her train you! I can't handle women!" Genma cried as he hugged his long lost daughter.
"Should I go?" Kodachi asked.
"If you want," Ranma said looking at the reunion.
"Ok, I'll be off then." Kodachi made a 'call me' gesture as Ranma said bye to her. Ranma nodded.
"So, your Ranko's brother?" Yoiko asked Ranma, "Hmm, I see the resemblance."
"So, who are you?" Ranma asked.
"Ranko's friend and his sister." Yoiko pointed at Ryouga. "Hibiki, Yoiko Hibiki. Yoroshiku."
"Hajimemashite."
"I'll kill them all!" Akane fumed as she vented her anger. "They'll all be dead and all the fine women of the world will be thanking me and fighting each other for a chance at my hand. Ughh, rather than all those stupid boys fighting me, stupid boys, all there good for is comic relief and cattle food." Akane ran through complex katas and other moves. Nabiki interrupted her.
"Why did you do that earlier?"
"Hey, when Akane sees something, Akane goes for it."
"Yeah, but not every girl is like you."
"So, what's your point? Those morons need a lesson in taste."
"Are you calling me a moron, Akane?"
"Yes, yes I am Nabiki! You are a moron! You still like boys and are therefore a moron!"
Nabiki proceeded to smack Akane with a 2X4 and proceeded to take a thousand yen from her wallet.
Later on, Genma, Ranma, Ranko, Ryouga and Soun went out for dinner. Akane went over to Reiko's. Kasumi went over to Dr. Tofu's. That left Yoiko and Nabiki at the Tendou house. Nabiki was in the kitchen preparing a dinner of instant noodles, rice and beef.
"It's for love, for love, for love!"
Nabiki was hurrying around the kitchen while Yoiko was taking a bath. Nabiki set the table and was lighting some candles as Yoiko came down from her bath.
"What's the occasion?" Yoiko asked.
"I...I thought a nice dinner was in order to celebrate your arrival back to Japan," Nabiki said.
"Looks delicious."
"Thank you." Yoiko and Nabiki sat down and started to eat. Nabiki was the first to strike up conversation.
"So, how long have you and Ranko been together?"
"Well, we met in an orphanage in Matsue. I was five, Ranko was six. Two years later, we left. We ran away. For a while we wandered about China. That's where Ranko or Red as I call her sometimes, fell into that stupid little pond."
"Jusenkyo?"
"Yeah, that's the place. Any who, Red and me figure we'd best get our butts out of China. So, we made our beeline to Korea. Ranko didn't want to be in the same country as her mother. She was the one who put Ranko in the orphanage. I was put there because the government found me and Ryouga's mom and dad to be unfit. Ryouga had gotten lost and they were lost as well. One of my neighbors called the authorities and they took me."
"That's so sad." Nabiki was holding one of Yoiko's hands.
"Oh, Nabiki." Yoiko noticed Nabiki's hands.
"I'm sorry," Nabiki blurted out, "Did I make you fell uncomfortable?"
"No, you didn't. I usually start crying when I tell people my story, it helped."
"I'm glad." Nabiki smiled. "You wanna watch a movie?"
"Sure." They finished dinner and went to the living room. Nabiki put a movie on and sat down next to Yoiko. They watched the movie and fell asleep.
Ranma and Ryouga stayed up. Ranko, Soun and Genma went to sleep.
"So, we going to this or what," Ryouga started.
"Do what," Ranma said.
"You moron!" Ryouga slashed at Ranma with is umbrella.
"What the, you're still mad about that?"
"Not just that you idi...Bweeeeee!!!!!" It started to rain.
"That was you?" Ryouga gave Ranma an annoyed look.
"Hey, I'm sorry, I was to busy trying to kill my father." Ranma picked up Ryouga and headed for the kitchen. After returning to their original forms, they had a nice talk.
"So you had no intention of knocking me into the spring?" Ryouga asked.
"No, of course not," Ranma replied, "I thought we were friends?"
"What about the bread?"
"I would have shared. You never asked."
Ryouga laughed. "So that's why you always walked home with me. What about the fight?"
"I thought it was a friendly spar."
Ryouga laughed. Ranma extended his hand. Ryouga shook it. Just then Akane walked in.
"Prepare to die boys!"
"What the!!!!!" The two boys dodged the giant mallet.
"Stay still!!!!" Akane swung the mallet again.
"Geez, She reminds of one of my old Bangkok hookers." Ryouga dodged the swing that the comment produced and followed Ranma out of the room. Akane gave chase until the boys ducked down a street that she had been banned from. The boys kept running until they got to a restaurant.
"Ucchan's," Ryouga noticed, "You hungry?"
"Now I am," Ranma replied. The two walk in and sit down at the bar. The chef walked over to them Ranma recognized the chef.
"Ukyo? Ukyo! Buddy! How've ya been! Long time, no see! What's with the drag get-up?"
"Excuse me!" Ukyo exclaimed, "What do you mean drag get-up! This is me you moron!" Ukyo gave the boys a quick flash.
"Oh, Ranma! You pissed off the chef, Thanks for the show," Ryouga joked poking Ranma in the ribs.
"What!" Ranma shrieked, "You were a girl! The whole time? The whole time. The whole time!"
"Wait," Ukyo interrupted, "You didn't realize I was a girl? You thought I was a guy?"
"Duh," Ranma replied, "I wouldn't have fought you if I knew you were a girl. I don't fight girls!"
"Ooh, I struck a nerve," Ukyo said, "Well, seeing as how this is all a big misunderstanding, the okonomiyaki is on the house. What do you say?"
"Sounds great," Ryouga said.
Ukyo served and explained the whole story about how Genma ditched her. Ranma just ate. She also vented about the new Chinese restaurant around the corner. Just then a really pissed off, uncute, unsexy tomboy strolled into Ucchan's.
"Alright," Akane proclaimed, "First, I'm gonna kill all of you, then I'll make okonomiyaki out of you!" Akane ran at them. Ranma and Ryouga dodged. Ukyo smacked her with her giant spatula.
"Get out of my restaurant, bitch!" Ukyo screamed.
"The male kind's minions shall be smited as well." Akane got into a fighting stance. Ukyo followed up. Just then, Ryouga snuck up behind Akane. He grabbed her ponytail and cut it off. Akane realized what had happened and ran out the restaurant crying. The remaining occupants laughed in hysteria.
"Go Ryouga." Ukyo and Ryouga high-fived.
"Guess I won't be worrying about her for a while," Ranma said, "And what did you mean when you said that Akane reminded you of one of your hookers?"
"I used to be a pimp," Ryouga answered nonchalantly.
"What?" Ukyo was stunned.
"I was in Bangkok," Ryouga began, "I was broke. This woman came up to me and asked me if I was lost. I said yes. She asked me where I lived and when I said Japan, she laughed. She took me back to her apartment where a bunch of her friends were talking about how their pimp had left for America. Then this really cute one looked at me and suggested that I take that position. Some of them laughed. Some of them seemed to agree that I would make a good candidate, including the one who brought me there. It was cool how they tested me."
"How did they test you?" Ranma asked.
"I got some," Ryouga replied.
"What!" Ukyo was shocked.
"I scored!" Ryouga exclaimed, " That's right. I got laid. Remember that really cute one? Well, she was, the, tester. She said I had what it took."
"But," Ranma said, "What about diseases and such."
"Oh, they got themselves checked out every two weeks. So they were clean. Made a butt-load of money and not to mention the, perks." Ryouga smirked.
"That still doesn't explain Akane."
"Oh yeah, there was this one girl who was really violent and only seemed to like her female clientele. But she didn't want to kill me. Her violence was work-related."
"Like S&M," Ukyo said.
"Yeah."
Akane cried as she ran home. She bolted right up to Kasumi's room. Akane interrupted her sister and Dr. Tofu.
"Akane!" Kasumi exclaimed, "What the hell do you think your doing!! Can't you see that I am busy with Ono!"
"This is more important," Akane sobbed.
Dr. Tofu hopped around the room trying to get dressed. He waved as his fully clothed body left the room with a wave. Kasumi sat in her bed covered with only her comforter.
"This better be...good. What happened to your hair?"
"He cut it off. That, that, boy!"
"What boy, Akane. They have names."
"That stupid Ryouga moron."
"Well, have you learned a lesson?"
"I already know boys are useless!"
"Akane, I'll fix your hair. When I'm done, I want you to go to your room and stay there till morning."
"But can't I stay here with you," Akane asked sweetly.
"Do you want me to fix your hair." Kasumi did not want the little lesbian sleeping in her room. Akane made her… nervous.
"Fine."
I'm kind of nervous about the reception after such a long hiatus. Hope it's not too, umm, weird (Well, by Takahashi-standards, that is). Ryouga needed a little good luck.
