Got intoduced to it by a friend. It was cute and all that, much more then a
trend. Next thing I know, I'm down at the cineama, sittin' there it said I
don't own Ranma, what's THAT about?
Only Aranel is mine, but her looks belong to someone else.
~~~
It had been one week since Aranel had fought Kuno. She had only met Ranma a few hours before that. Now after seven days of knowing the cursed youth, the clone had a good idea of what he was like. He would stand on a table and loudly proclaim he didn't like his fiencees, and call Akane his 'uncute fiancee' for the world to hear and then threaten any guy so so much as looked at her. When she asked him about it, he had insisted that it was because her father would kill him if anything happened to her.
"But Mama, doesn't that mean you should fight to protect Kasumi and Nabaki as well? From what I've gathered, you are only promised to one of Soun's daughters, unless you've left something out, you have nothing that ties you to Akane."
"No one is going after them. Akane is getting kidnapped and attacked every other day. She has to fight her way into school each morning." Ranma dropped a box of ramen in front of his clone. "If you keep calling me 'mama,' I'll have to stop spoiling you."
Aranel looked at the box in confusion. "Cat Cafe? What kind of name is that?"
"That's the cafe Shampoo's great grandmother owns. As long as Mousse is in the kichen and not at the cash register, you and I can get as much free food as we want."
The clone's checks burned. "Mousse? That Chinese boy I met?"
Ranma nodded. "Yea." He watched his clone closely as she ate. He couldn't be sure since her bangs hid her face, but it looked like she was turning red. "You ok? You're face is all red."
"Just a little spicy," she lied. Aranel didn't want to tell her parent cell this, but ever since that day, her thoughts had revolved around Mousse. His long black hair, his intence blue/gray eyes, that smug smile that pulled her in. One one hand, having no interest in the guys she was meant to distract was aided by this crush. Feeling her face burn more, the week old clone brought up a topic that would take heat away from her. "I think Nabaki knows you're hiding something. She's been harder to shake the past two days and yesterday she walked in on me changing."
The pigtailed boy looked up. "What? Did she know it wasn't me she was looking at?" Nabaki was famous for the embarassing photos she could take. More then once she'd sold snap shots of Ranma's female form to Kuno for insane amounts of money.
"I don't think so. I've only been able to catch her in the act once." Aranel smiled and handed Ranma three photos from her fight with Kuno. "I traded her for these, though."
The heir of the Saotome School of Indiscriminate Grappling looked at the pictures. One showed Kuno being stomped, and two had the busty head head nailing kicks to the perverted upperclassman's face. "Not bad for a clone." A frown formed on his face. "Hey, doesn't she normally take pictures in sets of five?"
"The other two were embarassing so I burnned them last night!" She opened the closet and plopped down on her make-shift bed of blankets and pillows. "I'm gonna take a nap, have fun at school." The slidding door on the closet shut. Ranma stared at it blankly. The door opened just enough for a small hand to appear. He watched it grope blindly before finding the box of half eaten noodles.
Ranma smiled and shook his head. Taking his bookbag, Ranma went out into the hall only to cloide with Kasumi. "I'm sorry!"
"It's alright Ranma," she said cheerfully. "I just wanted to give you your lunch." Ranma bowed as he accepted the paper bag from the eldest Tendo daughter. 'Aranel's right. If I'm going to be part of this household, I should protect all the daughters from guys with dishonorable intensions. Kasumi's always so nice to me. I owe her.' Smiled warmly at him before heading down the hall to give Akane a similar bag.
The blue haired girl thanked her sister. She caught Ranma staring and smiled at him. 'She's cute when she smiles...' He smiled back. "Ready for another day?"
"Yea. If we leave now, we might even be early for once." Akane took Ranma's hand and dragged him down the hall and out of the dojo.
~~~
The two love birds slowly snuck up to the school's fence. Ranma boasted Akane up to check if the coast was clear. "I think we beat the crowd here today," Akane said happily. "There's only a few people here."
Ranma smiled. "Pink looks good on you, ya know?"
"Pink?" Akane looked confused a moment for it dawned on her. She stompped on Ranma's face. "I think you're being all sweet and acting like a normal boyfriend and then you go and say something like that! Why are you even looking up my skirt anyway?" Ranma grinned at her.
"Ranma, I swear, sometimes you're almost as bad as Happosai!" She hopped down [AN: Yes, she gave a speach knowing he could still see up her skirt if he wanted]. The blue haired girl turned to face her fiancee. "Sometimes I wonder if you're even all that sane."
Akane was pleased to see she had been right. For once, she was at school early enough to walk in normally. After a short battle with the one stalker that had already shown up, Akane entered the building with her fiance.
~~~
The closet door was shut, the bedroom light was out. Other then two old men and a clone, the house was empty. With Kasumi off doing what ever it was she did during the day, Aranel was as good as home alone. Openning the slidding door, Aranel slipped out. She opened the door that led to the hall and slowly slinked down past the door until she found the one she wanted.
Nabaki's room was practily wall papered with pictures. The ones not pinned to the wall were either in boxes or attached to the web of strings going across the ceiling. Dropping to her knees, Aranel reached under the bed. Nabaki was nothing if not orignised in her black mail. A moment of searching lead to the redheaded clone taking out a box labeled 'Mousse.'
Aranel opened the small box and emptied it. She curled up looking at the pictures of her Amazon hero. The pictures were few. Some showed a duck, other showed the boy. In most of the pictures, the poor Amazon was being abused in someway. From Ranma, to Shampoo or Cologne, for every picture of him relaxed, there was five of him in pain.
The clone replaced the pictures and pulled out another box. This one was of pictures Nabaki must have put aside to sell to Kuno for it was full of pictures that had either Akane or female Ranma [or both]. The the many hours while the others were gone, Aranel looked at box after box trying her hardest to understand who these were. Ranma could tell her until he was blue in the face, but it was easier to see then to be told.
'Well, I guess I could always just follow Ranma around and learn that way.' Replacing the pictures under the bed, Aranel grinned. She'd just have to spy on her parent cell and hope to figure out what he was really like when he didn't know he was being watched. When he was his true self.

I should have done this voting thing ages ago. People seem to have a wide range of votes too [some are disturbing]. Don't worry, I look at all reviews so even the weird ones will be noted.
Saki Xiashang: I'm glad people agree with me and that you like my idea. My goal to be better then the drivel. I know how much I hate it when I'm looking for something to read and all I get is trash. I hope no one has to do that with me.
Marik Kurakashi: I'm sorry, but I need more detail then that. Make what Nabaki?
goku905041: If nothing else, we can asume that because I said so and it's my story. If you'd like, I'll go into more detail about the changes at a later time. Thanks for the vote.
Cheese: You like her? Thank you! I like her name too. It's elvish for Princess. I adore Ranma, but after re-reading book 1 of Ranma and seeing that part where he tells Akane that he's built better, I got the idea that he'd name his clone something like what you find on a pillow at Clarie's
Wicked Lady: HEY! Who signed under my name? I'm changing my password!
Christine: And I plan of keeping it that way
Dan: I agree, but I'm personally fond of Dr. Tofu.
Herbal Essence is the Best Shampoo: How can it stand without legs? I think it sits.
High King Isaac: Vote all you want as long as you only vote once per chapter. Voting again means you came back and earn more attension
Conditioner: The Ranma/Ranma thing does bring to mind the quote "He's a couple all by himself."
ShadowBakaSama: I'm afaird that I'm not familer with Ryu. I don't have all the comics and I don't have all the episodes so there are a few characters I'm clueless to. He's one of them. As for Nabaki, I think she's one of the smartest people on the show. She takes pictures when she sees an opening and she sells them for a lot of money. She'll be rich long before she moves out of the house [unless the picture money is what keeps the dojo open...]
SUm1: Wow. You scare me. You really really scare me. I mean, I like the Mousse/Clone idea, but Kuno and Kodachi are FAMILY. I won't even let there be hinted sparks between a Ranma and the clone of a body that may or may not be related to him.
Spanner: I know it's overly convenient, but I thought, 'Hey, the clone was just born. She wouldn't come up with this.' Besides, since the whole idea for the story came from a daydream I had in French class, I didn't think to much on the begining being part. I already have requests for Pantyhose Tarou to be in the story so I might need to work on his double take.
