This is my first fan fic using Gundam Wing. The writing is a bit rough but the story is quite cute and captivating. If you like the zaniness of Ranma and love teasing poor chauvinistic Wufei then you'll like this story. The tale takes place in an alternate universe where the Gundam boys head to a remote and isolated part of China then Japan where people have continue to live in a traditional and old fashion way of life. Along the way Wufei suffers from the misfortune of falling into the Jensuki (the sacred hot springs) in China. He becomes that which he most loathes, a weak woman. Rate PG13 this story is mostly fun no real smut although lots of insinuations.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing and never will however I do enjoy writing fan fics although I don't make a penny off of them (truly). GW and Ranma are own by other people not me.
STRANGE TRIP
Part 11
Two playgrounds, five bus stations and dozens of restaurants later Quatre found himself still being herded around by the pushy red head and she seemed to have no intention of slowing down. He had tried to disengage his arm, however the young woman was so strong that nothing short of chewing it off was going to free him. He prayed it wouldn't come to that.
"Why don't we lose those two losers and go somewhere private," Ranma whispered.
Quatre felt a wave of desperation engulf him. He gritted his teeth and decided he could still pilot a ship one handed. Lucky for Quatre it wasn't the loss of an arm that saved him—his desperate prayers were answered by a lecherous old man.
Happosai was just about to go on a little afternoon diversion when he spotted Ranma clinging to a blond foreigner. Ranma was not alone he was with Ryoga who was walking next to a pretty slim girl with an extremely long chestnut braid. The two looked like they were on a double date. Happosai frowned unhappy he was not invited. He went to complain to Ranma but got distracted as he approached the two couples.
"Oh, baby," Happosai hooted grabbing the onto the butt of the girl with the long chestnut braid.
"Eek! Let go," Duo shouted shoving away the little old man squeezing his butt.
"Hey, you're not a girl," Happosai said shocked to see the face of a young man glaring down at him.
"No, I am guy!"
"Ranma, baby what are you doing with these foreigners and one that looks like a girl no less?" Happosai asked jumping onto Ranma's ample chest and rubbing his face in his breasts.
"What, are you blind old man," Duo shouted.
"Yew! Get off me you pervert," Ranma yelled and slugged the old man off. This caused Ranma to release his precious hold on Quatre's arm to his great relief.
Quatre didn't know if he should thank the old man or threaten him for his behavior instead he quickly made a dash for Duo's side. He didn't care if he looked cowardly.
"Is this the thanks I get, Ranma I worry about you," Happosai wined.
"Oh yeah, well worry about yourself since I'm gonna tell everyone I saw you grabbing onto some guy's butt," Ranma threatened.
"Ranma you don't want to give me a bad reputation," Happosai pleaded.
"Oh yes I do, and if I was you I'd get lost," Ranma yelled and dropped kicked Happosai right over a building.
Duo and Quatre gaped at Ranma. She had just kicked the old man over a building. They both exchanged looks of shock. Quatre knew she was strong but that was surprising.
"Now where did blondie go?" Ranma cooed.
Quatre's look of shocked turned into dread. Duo gave him a sympathetic look and a smirk. "Better you than me," he quipped.
"Oh there you are honeybee, don't be afraid of that old fart. He is really into girls," Ranma said recapturing Quatre's arm. "Now where were we—oh yeah, how about we find a quiet place for just us two?"
Quatre could feel panic rising at the fiery red head's displays of violence and the viselike grip she had on his arm. He glanced to Duo for help and received another smirk and a thumbs up. Damn him, he thought, he thinks this is funny. He glanced at Ryoga for help and received a bored and distracted look.
"Ranma Saratoga," a voice cried out.
"Now what," Ranma huffed annoyed while turning to the voice. It was that guy Wufei with Shampoo and her grandmother.
"Ranma Sartoga, I challenge you," Wufei said.
"Great, a fight. I thought I was going to die of boredom," Ryoga interjected.
"A fight? Wufei?" Duo said shocked.
"I'm busy," Ranma replied dragging Quatre off quickly. "I'm not going to let anyone get in the way of me and money eer—I mean honey here," Ranma quickly corrected.
Wufei followed and stepped into his path. "I challenge you to Shampoo's hand in marriage."
"Wufei, what are you saying!" exclaimed Duo looking at Wufei as if he lost his mind.
Quatre eyes rounded in surprise. "Th—that's great but we shouldn't fight." he stammered.
"Look you, if you want Shampoo then marry her. You have my blessings," Ranma snapped. This received a squeal of outrage from Shampoo.
Shampoo's grandmother knew that Wufei needed to fight Ranma as a guy so she was prepared and quick as a flash dump the contents of a tea pot full of hot water over Ranma's head.
"Hey, what you go and do that for," Ranma shouted his voice changing from a high pitched squeak to a much deeper growl.
Quatre yanked his arm free and backpedaled away from the strange person. Duo blinked several times and rubbed his eyes. Ryoga still looked bored but truthfully he was wondering what Shampoo's grandmother was up to.
Ranma was the only guy he knew that had himself engaged to several girls. Then he denies each one. If Ranma lost the battle to this guy Wufei then Ranma would be one girl short and one girl closer to the only woman Ryoga loved, Akane. As Ryoga figured that meant it would be best if Ranma won.
"You will fight me now," Wufei said crouching into position.
"Wait a minute! How did you change into a guy was that a magic trick," Duo asked.
Ranma ignored Duo and turned to Wufei. "I'm still not gonna fight you so forget it."
"Ranma are you afraid to fight for your woman," Ryoga instigated. Ranma ignored him too, crossing his arms in annoyance.
"Hey blondie, you owe me for the tour, I mean I did show you almost half the town," Ranma said to Quatre who was nearly hiding behind Duo.
"Actually, I promised a girl the money," Quatre said still shocked at his transformation.
"What!" Ranma yelled.
"I'll pay you the agreed upon price if you take up the challenge for Shampoo," Wufei told him.
"I don't make bets on my friends," Ranma told him.
"That's right my Ranma is far more honorable," Shampoo snapped at Wufei.
"Five times as much," Wufei said pulling out a wad of money and handing it to Ryoga. "Hold this for the winner."
"Like they say, a fool and his money are easily parted," Ranma said eyes lighting up at the sight of the cash. He took two steps towards Ryoga as if he would snatch the money then turned and charged Wufei.
"Ranma!" Shampoo yelled insulted.
"Well it took five times the amount," Duo said to appease the rather pretty Chinese girl.
She stuck her nose in the air at him then glanced at him from the side and asked "How much is that?"
