I'm back. Again. I've been playing a lot of FFX. It's hard to decide what I want when I have only one Lv 3 Key Sphere. I don't own Ranma or anything else significant. My computer is a 667mhz PIII with Win 98SE, so that's not too valuable. I'm rambling. On with the story.
"Well Ryoga, I really think you were better off staying at Ukyo's. Akane's in a weird mood today. There's no telling what she's gonna do next. I can't wait for today to be over. First I get drugged, then Akane basically holds me hostage by withholding the antidote and asking me questions that I HAVE to answer truthfully, Kasumi got engaged, Akane's my only viable fiancé now which ain't bad, my old man and Mr. Tendo heard Akane slip up and call me her boyfriend which means they're probably planning the wedding as we speak. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but you have Ukyo now. She was my second choice. If you do anything to hurt her, I swear I will hunt you down and have Ukyo make a Bacon and Ham Okonomiyaki. Got it?" Ranma was staring directly at the pig, who nodded back.
Akane hung up the phone and started to make her way back to the dojo. She happened to have a boiling kettle behind her back. On her way out of the tearoom, she had to step over a passed out Genma and Soun. 'Must've drank too much. Oh well, I guess we'll have to let them sleep it off' she thought as she continued to the dojo.
"I don't know what she's planin', but you should make yourself scarce pretty soon. Since it's mostly my fault, I'll let you know why she's more than a little mad. I sorta kinda slipped up and told her about your curse." P-chan's heart started to pound so hard it threatened to burst through his chest. "There's a good excuse behind it, though! Shampoo drugged me and now I have to tell the truth and what ever I'm thinking at the moment I kinda just blurt out. If you think of taking advantage of that, I won't even try to protect you from Akane. Why should I protect you anyway? You repeatedly slept with her and whenever I tried to stop you from doing something dishonorable, I got mauled by Akane. You know what, screw it. For all I care, she can skin you alive and it won't be enough. Hi Akane." Akane snuck in unnoticed by P-chan. She shut the door and had both hands behind her back.
"You know P-chan, you look a little dirty. Let me clean you off a little!" With that, she took the kettle from behind her back and poured it over the pig.
"Ow! That's hot! Uh oh...um, hi A...ka...ne...oh shit. I can explain everything!" Ryoga had a mixture of dread and surprise on his face as he tried to run away from a very angry Akane. Unfortunately for him, she already had him by his arm and was contorting it into unnatural positions.
"Wow Akane, even I couldn't manage to do that to him! Ryoga, I think you're screwed. Here's your clothes." Ranma took the yellow and brownish clothes from the lost boy's pack and handed it to him. "This ought to be good."
"I'm waiting" was all Akane said.
"It's all Ranma's fault! He pushed me into the cursed spring! Because of him I've" Akane cut him off after pulling up his pants. He was still shirtless.
"Because of him you've seen hell, right?" She wrenched on him arm a little more. "Not good enough! Try again!"
"Oww! All right! That night when I appeared in your room was the first time anyone was kind to me in a while. When you hugged me, I knew I wanted more, and by being your pet I would get it. Owwww! Plus it was a good way to piss off Ranma! Knowing there was someone sharing your bed who wasn't him really pissed him off! If I couldn't win in a head on fight with him, I had to claim any victory I could." Another repositioning of his joints by Akane.
"So sleeping with me...was a victory? Is that what you're trying to tell me?" With her free hand she punched him in the gut.
"I didn't think of it as just a victory. From the moment I met you I thought I loved" again Akane cut him off.
"You don't even WANT to finish that sentence." Akane's voice was emotionless, which scared the hell out of both males in the room.
"Whoa Ryoga, even I've never pissed her off this much. While we're at it, why don't you explain the oath I took to her? After she kills you, can I have your umbrella? It would be good strength training for my girl form. Plus it'll be good to humiliate Kuno with his own kind of weapon. Not to mention never mind I'll shut up now."
"What oath is he talking about?" Akane's voice was still cold.
"He promised not to tell anyone about my curse because it's such a huge weakness."
"So knowing he couldn't tell me that you were my pet, you thought it was ok to be in my room while I changed...wait a sec...didn't you sleep with Nabiki and Kasumi a few times while I was gone?" Her death grip tightened.
"Damn that hurts! Well, yeah, I kinda did. But I'm so sorry I did that! I didn't want to leave because I didn't know when I'd find my way back. It was cold those nights and they were warm. I swear I didn't look at them when they were indecent on purpose." Ryoga was obviously in pain.
Ranma spoke up, "Let me ask you something. Does Kasumi say some umm passionate things in her sleep? One night I was up go use the bathroom and I heard her talking and moving around so I thought she was in trouble. I opened her door and looked inside to make sure she was ok and heard some things I'd rather not repeat. I thought I had to be dreaming and went back to bed."
"Yeah, I couldn't believe my ears at first, but she does. Dr. Tofu doesn't know what he's getting himself into. That hurts you know!" Akane was not letting up on her grasp. "I was only answering Ranma. If anyone should be hurt it's him!"
"Does Ukyo know?" Akane seemed to calm down a bit with the question.
"Yeah, she knows. That's why I came over here. She said the only way me and her can be together is if I confessed what I did to you face to face. She told me after I face any punishment you give me she'd consider it history and try to forget it happened. So Akane, I know whatever you and Ranma may do to me I deserve. Please get it over with. I won't fight back."
"I ain't gonna do anything to you. Akane's pissed enough without me interfering. The only thing I'll do is watch. As long as that's all right with you. Is it, Akane?"
Akane gave Ranma a peck on the cheek. "I heard you talking to Ryoga earlier after I left the dojo. Now there's no need to go to Nabiki and don't worry, I won't beat you or anything. Just wait till later, k?" Akane let go of Ryoga, who immediately started to rub his shoulder and elbow.
"So Ranma wasn't lying. Well, it's about time someone made a move on someone else. Nabiki said you two were driving her nuts with all the tension between you. I thought she was kidding, but guess not." There was a knock on the door.
"Oh, that must be our guest! Come in!" Akane said almost cheerfully.
"Give Azusa her Charlotte!" The psychotically bubbly skater entered the dojo.
"Hold on a sec! I want to show you a magic trick Charlotte can do!" Akane said as she doused the stunned lost boy with cold water.
"How cuuuute! Come here Charlotte! Do that trick again!" Azusa was giddy with excitement over the trick her new pet pig could do.
Akane told Azusa how to make her pig do his new trick, "all you need to do is splash him with boiling water to turn him into a human, and to turn him back into a cute pig again, hit him with cold water. Just don't use too much boiling water. He might complain a little."
Azusa picked up 'Charlotte' and made her way out the door. "Come on Charlotte! You can sleep on Francois! Just wait till Marianne can see what you do! Thank you Akane!" The poor little pig had yet to move a muscle after seeing Azusa, and now he was gone.
"I feel better! Let Ukyo rescue him if she wants. Now Ranma, where were we before Azusa came by? Oh yes, the book. What did you mean by me being able to tolerate something? Hmmm?" Akane leaned her face questioningly into Ranma's, who was still stunned after being kissed by Akane and seeing Azusa. Both events shocked Ranma to the point where he was speechless, which meant he also wasn't capable of thinking at the moment.
"Well, I, uhhhh, did you just give Azusa Ryoga?" Ranma finally managed to sputter out.
"Yes I did. Now stop changing topics." Akane replied.
Another chapter done. We haven't seen the last of Charlotte, but I'm not gonna save him. I really think this is proper punishment for him. I promise more Ranma/Akane stuff. I'm still trying to figure out how to write kinda almost mushy things that actually fit into the Ranmaverse. The anime wasn't mushy at all and neither am I. I'm planning on two more chapters then all done! Anyway, read and review. Bye for now!
