Woman among Women
Makio
Chp. 7
OK then alrighty well I got a lot to say right now so first off plot holes many say that's my biggest problem with the story is the plot holes so I'm gonna fill them #1 Ranma having money- I based this assumption on that I would think that some money would have been given from the wedding or that Ranma had a tidy sum saved from working at the Cat Café #2 Cologne having the pail and not the kettle- this was an intentional error on my part so that Ranma would have a reason to go to herb and have that little talk #3 Nodoka knowing of the pail- she knew about the pail because I'm the author and I say so ok now that I have some holes filled I must say please don't use intelligence when reading this story I find that all bad reviews I get is about "o this is ooc", or "Blah bitty blah bitty blah blah I can't see this happening" Out of all seriousness don't try to analyze the story just enjoy it if you don't try to point out the errors then you can make any story enjoyable ok so I was reading some of my old stories to see if I got better at writing and I noticed that my stories are really SHORT I couldn't believe it because when I type them out on word they are like 5 pages long, also I noticed some of the humor is lost in the later chapters and the story just becomes a story not a funny story, also I only have 3 Ranma volumes and have only read up to volume 29 I don't know what happens past that point if you know any site that will give me the Ranma manga then I would appreciate it maybe then the characters won't be butchered so much finally I really do want you to sign up at neopets while referring me you may not like the site but please be nice you don't have to play just sign up if you do have a account there you can reach me at Makiochan now that that's settled I am proud to announce a much longer chp.7
Ranma and her mother sat in the television room, irony has it that is where the contract was signed for Ranma to become a woman among women a contract that Ranma never wanted and still doesn't but wants to make his mother happy, so she will bear the shame of it all. Currently Ranma and her mother were negotiating the rules of the contract.
"Mom, if I do this then there will be limits to what I will go through with."
"Ok, what are you're conditions." Nodoka still had tears in her eyes from the previous night.
"First of all, no frilly girly dresses, I am a man no matter how I look I will wear female clothing but nothing that would be considered girly."
Akane sat by Ranma's side "Ranma are you sure you want to go through with this you're mother is willing to let you be a man."
Ranma whispered in Akane's ear "I'm sure, after all how will it look to the Musk if I go back this soon."
Akane looked at Ranma in confusion "The Musk?" she thought.
Nodoka fidgeted for a bit "Some feminine dresses are required Ranma."
Ranma looked at her, "2 is the maximum that I will own any more and the deal is off."
"You have a deal, do you have any other terms?"
"Yes, I want to choose what I wear if I am going to be stuck as a girl I want to still be me I don't want you to stick me in every fluffy pink night-gown you see."
Nodoka sighed "Deal, but I get final say in every thing you buy and Akane must be present for all purchase when I'm not around."
"And I want to keep my Chinese shirts. And all my male clothing for that matter."
Ranma nodded and looked over at Akane with a twisted kind of smile.
"Now for my conditions, you will be under my wing and do as you're told." Nodoka's voice became its old commanding voice. "You will do everything within the schedule."
Ranma pondered for a bit and thought to herself silently "She has a schedule?"
"Deal as long as it does not interfere with my terms you are free to mold me to you're liking." Ranma didn't like the idea of being moldable like clay, it made her feel soft.
"Ranma can I talk to you for a minute?" Akane pulled Ranma to the side and began whispering "Is that really all you want you are leaving a lot openings for things that she can do to you."
"Yes I'm sure Akane after all this is training what would good it be without the full intensity of it."
Akane looked at Ranma sympathetically, Ranma clearly didn't know what she was getting into.
"Now" Nodoka interrupted "Where are all you're clothes am I correct that you burned them all."
"Um.. Yes I did I'm not sorry either." Ranma said in a very stern voice
Nodoka sighed so much money had just gone up in flames "How much do you have on you, school starts soon and you don't have a uniform."
"I spent all my savings on the plane ticket." Ranma stated bluntly
"Plane ticket? In any case if you want to be your own kind of girl then you are going to buy your own clothing, you need a job."
Ranma thought back and to his own recollection he has only ever had a job while trapped in female form, irony struck again it seems.
"Where are you going to work Ranma?" Akane asked with curiosity.
"The Cat Café is out I can't handle that ordeal again I guess I could always check with Dr. Tofu he might need some extra help."
Nodoka closed her eyes in thought for awhile "You have no female clothing?"
"No, I burned everything to a crisp."
"Well until you get some money I suppose you could always borrow some of Akane's clothing."
"What, no way her clothes don't fit me there real tight around the chest."
Akane's eyes began to twitch and her mallet began to materialize from stuff space.
"And the waste is always to baggy." Of course that line cinched it Akane's mallet of doom had fully appeared and shown its reality as it hit Ranma's hard head.
As the lump began to grow Ranma bit her tongue, it was hard not to start a argument but she knew that she never won arguments with Akane.
Akane stormed off to get in her morning jog grumbling about Ranma being a jerk and wishing that Nodoka was especially hard on her.
"Right well, maybe that's not the best choice." Nodoka couldn't help but chuckle at Ranma's welt. "I know we can get Nabiki to lend you the money."
Ranma looked at his mother clearly Nodoka didn't know how evil Nabiki could be with her money. "Mom I don't think that's such a good idea."
"It's either that or borrow some of Akane's clothes you're choice."
Ranma grumbled a few words of choice and agreed to asking Nabiki even though in the long run it will most likely put her in debt.
Kasumi walked into the kitchen, to perform her motherly duties.
"Looks like the family is starting to wake." Nodoka looked up the stairs and watched Genma fall down them.
Ranma stood outside Nabiki's door and took a deep breathe, at the breakfast table Ranma avoided asking Nabiki for money while she explained to everybody the new conditions.
"Nabiki, I have a favor to ask." Ranma gulped as she slowly opened the door, when it comes to money Nabiki could even scare loan sharks.
Nabiki was flipping through a shopping magazine and circling what she was going to scam the next guy into buying her.
"What do you want Ranma? Trying to hide from you're mother already." Nabiki smirked
"No actually me and mom discussed it and need to umm borrow some money." Ranma flinched.
Nabiki smiled "How much?"
"I don't know enough to buy some clothes." Ranma fiddled with her fingers while speaking.
"Alright, and because I'm in such a good mood it's only a 10 interest." Nabiki walked over to her closet and pulled out a large safe.
Ranma's eyes went wide when Nabiki opened up the metal case, money poured out of it. "You have all that? How long did it take you to save that much?"
Nabiki chuckled "This is only what I made while you were wearing those night-gowns its amazing what guys will pay to see you dressed like a girl."
Ranma began to get a little angry but couldn't help but feel special she never thought that she could make money by sleeping, if Genma knew about this then he would probably go to China and have a little dunk in the nyannichuan himself.
Nabiki grabbed a pile of yen and handed it to Ranma. "Since I can make such a good profit from you, I'm gonna even let you keep the change but I want to go shopping with you today."
Ranma rolled her eyes not only was Akane and her mother coming along but know Nabiki was to.
"Alright, you can come."
"Great after all, We can't have you buying something the guys wouldn't want to look at now do we."
Ranma was feeling used.
Soun and Genma sat in the Dojo, they were going to have a rigorous sparing match with each other but decided that a nice game of shogi and a cold beer would help clear their heads much faster.
"Saotome, do you think that it is wise to let you're wife treat Ranma this way."
"I do Tendo, after all what kind of husband would I be if I were to let Nodoka not spend time with her son."
"You, seem to be very much devoted to Nodoka, Saotome. Why didn't you act this way before she destroyed you're contract."
Genma sweat dropped "Uh Um.. Well"
"Is it because you fear Death above you're love for you're wife, Saotome you should be ashamed." Soun was shaking his head "Why did you even create that contract."
Genma began to chug his beer, he slammed the empty glass on the ground and closed his eyes as if in search for a deep and prophetic answer "I was drunk."
Soun, of course, face faulted. And Genma took that as an advantage to arrange the board pieces to his favour
Ranma fidgeted with her shirt as she waited for Akane and Nabiki to get ready, it amazed her how long it took for two girls to get ready.
Akane and Nabiki came down in their usual attire, Nabiki was in her short shorts and Akane was in a pale orange sun dress.
"Shall we go?" Nodoka looked over at everybody "Are we all ready?"
"Yeh, lets get going already." Ranma began walking hastily towards the door
"Geez Ranma, why the rush? Can't wait to see the lingerie?" Nabiki nuged Akane
Ranma stopped in her tracks it didn't occur to her that she had to buy lingerie, all she thought was a few dresses and blouses.
"Nabiki don't be such a tease." Akane scolded as she walked over to the petrified Ranma "Come on I can help you with underwear."
Ranma didn't really like the way Akane was smiling she seemed way to lax for what she was talking about.
At the store Ranma felt as though everyone was watching her. Even though nobody knew who she was there she felt like they could tell that she was a guy nervously rummaging through dress after dress.
The three girls were all off in their own wing of the store, Nabiki was hanging around the night gowns picking out which ones could make the most profit from while Akane was over at the Blouses trying to decided what would match Ranma's eyes best. Nodoka stood very close to Ranma however as she giggled when ever Ranma would hold out a dress, in turn the Girl in training would quickly put it back and continue rummaging.
Nothing really appealed to Ranma, it wasn't that she was trying to pick the best dress but was trying to find one that left hints of masculinity in them but apparently this store didn't sell those kind of things. Ranma would have to ask Akane where she got her clothes.
Unsatisfied Ranma just grabbed three Random dresses and moved over to Akane and stared at her hesitantly "Uh um, Akane can I ge get you're help wi with.."
"Don't stutter Ranma you sound like an idiot." Akane grabbed Ranma's shirt and dragged her over to the underwear. "So what do you want?"
"Uh um the kinds I use to wear?"
"Really, Ranma those were really risqué and kind of appealing to the eye."
"What do you mean appealing Akane?" Ranma eyed her suspiciously
"Oh Ranma dear" Nabiki walked over with ten to fifteen nightgowns in hand "Akane means you were wearing the kind of clothing that guys really like."
"What? Mom how could you!"
"Well I thought…"
"No you know what it doesn't even matter now. Akane what else is there?"
"Well there's push up bra's and one that holds you're figure sports bra's.."
"Wait, what's a sport bra?" Ranma liked that after all anything with the word sport in it then it can't be all feminine.
"Well basically it's a bra that supports the chest to prevent bouncing and chafing during rigorous exercise."
"That one, I want that one." Ranma sounded oddly excited
"And panties?" Nodoka interrupted, "What kind do you want?"
"Um.. sports ones?"
Akane and Nabiki just started laughing hysterically
Nodoka couldn't help but giggle, "There are no sports panties, there's silk and lace and many different styles, but I'll leave it to you."
Akane wiped the tears from her eyes "Come on Ranma I know just what you need." Akane showed Ranma some very basic plane white cotton panties, "I think this is what you would like simplistic and not at all appealing."
"Alright" Ranma sighed "Lets get those." Its been a long day.
Ranma and the gang came home just in time for supper; Soun and Genma were bickering about who cheated last in shogi and Kasumi was setting the table.
Ranma went upstairs to put away her things, when a pair of panties came gently floating down from the ceiling…..
