(I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, Ranma 1/2, or Inuyasha...damn I wish I did though)
Well, the nine dates are set, and Ranma was in a real pickle of a situation. He had nine Fiancees, thanks to Genma. However, he was able to see which were nice and actually listened. He also had the misfortune of being with the ones who didn't listen. Well, Akane would be the prime example, but he wouldn't date her for nine more weeks. It was further stipulated to make sure that Ranma had some recovery time, there'd be a one week interval between dates. However, Ranma turning into a girl was impossible to control, so they (who know about it already) let it go. When Friday came, however, Yugi quickly went from a friend to a rival in an instant, when he heard the girl he had a crush on, was engaged to Ranma.
"SON OF A BITCH!" Yugi snapped as Kaiba was trying to hold him back.
"It was his father's fault!" Kaiba said trying to reason with him.
Yugi switched to his alter-ego Yami, and then he was infuriated.
"Holy shit," Joey said. "Even though my sister's engaged to him as well, I won't hold that kind of a grudge."
"ENOUGH!" Yami snapped. "Tell me, where are they going for their date?"
"WHAT AND RISK PAYING NABKI TENDO 1,000 YEN! FORGET IT," Kaiba and Joey cried out.
"For as long as his hair's blonde, and my eyes are blue, you're not going to fuck this up for Ranma," Kaiba said.
"Yeah, what happened to being his friend?" Joey snapped.
"Well, that changed...quickly," the enraged pharoh said.
"Kaiba, help me tie him down, you know how he gets when he's pissed.
"Actually, Joey, why don't we see if we can set him up with Nabki," Kaiba suggested.
"Smooth move, ex-lax! Piss him off even more, and lead him and his grandpa in the poor house!"
"Shit, forgot, she can blackmail a Blue-eyes white dragon without problems!"
"I DON'T FUCKIN' CARE!" Yami snapped as he threw Kaiba into Joey knocking them out.
Well, While this was going on, Ranma was getting ready for his date with Tea. He dreaded what was going to happen. Akane was very vocal about her displeasure that he gets to date everybody before her. However, eight weeks was enough to plan for the perfect kick-ass date. Later, Ranma came to the front gates of the Tendo Dojo...which looked like they needed to be worked on. To his suprise, Tea showed up, on cue. She was wearing a short black skirt, and a white spegetti strap shirt. She also had on some white tennis shoes as well, and they were clean.
"Hello, Ranma," Tea greeted.
"Hello, Tea," Ranma greeted.
"Ready?" She asked.
"Yeah," He answered. Though, Ranma wore his usual Chinese fightng outfits. They were helpful, especially when he got turned into a girl. They decided to go to a small coffee house that Tea discorvered. When they got there, the atmosphere was small, and intimate. The servers weren't pusy, and the conversation was kept very low. Though, this rattled Ranma for a bit.
"Hey, I ain't been to a place like this," Ranma said softly.
:"Don't worry, you'll fit in perfectly here," Tea said.
"Hey, I see an empty table," Ranma pointed.
"Great, let's go take a seat," Tea said as she lead Ranma to his seat.
"This is very nice," Ranma said as he helped Tea sit down.
"Glad you feel that way," Tea said.
They both sat down at the table, though they didn't know that Yami was there. He'd enlisted the help of Kaiba's younger brother, Mokuba, to go and spy on them...which was cut short, when Kaiba caught him in the window.
"Gotta go!" Mokuba said as he bolted with the 10,000 yen.
"Waste of money," Yami said to himself...but he stayed back and saw the date.
Meanwhile, with Ranma and Tea, Ranma was explaning what had happened to him in Jusenkyo...though he did admit there were some good qualities.
"Well, at least I can get an extra octopus puff for free in the girl form," Ranma admitted.
"Octopus puffs! I love those!" Tea exclaimed. "You have an interesting way of doing things though."
"Yep, though, at least you don't have a crazy Amazon girl who always get you in trouble," Ranma said.
"I know, Akane told me that you and her ended up in the tub..naked togeter," She answered.
"So he is a pervert," both Yami and Yugi said together in their mind link. "Well, It's time to teach him some manners!"
After the quiet experience in the coffee shop, Ranma then decided to go to two of the restraunts that would let him come in, they went to Ukyo's place. Though she's not allowed to break the date, she is allowed to serve them food and talk to them. Plus her Japanese Pizza was the best in this part of Japan. Though, Yugi never got the memo about interfering with the date. Meanwhile, Joey went to go tell Nabiki everything.
"He what!" Nabiki said in her usual smart-ass tone.
"Yeah, he took me and Kaiba out!" Joey explained.
"...and you tried to stop him huh?", she asked.
"Yeah, but when he gets pissed...let's just say that I hope Ranma's carrying life insurance." Joey said.
"Do you know where he's at now?"
"Not a clue!" Joey said.
"Well, for his sake and yours, you better hope he doesn't do anything stupid."
"I'm going to look for him!" Joey said and he was on his way.
At Ukyo's...things were going pretty well...except that Ranma couldn't help but feel a bit creeped out, and a bit worried. Tea noticed this and decided to get to the bottom of it very quickly.
"What's wrong, Ranma?" Tea asked.
"Yeah, Normally you'd eat 3 of these things in one sitting, something's up," Ukyo said.
"Who's the porcupine head?" Ranma asked.
"Oh, that's just Yugi," Tea answered."You see that puzzle around his neck?"
"Yeah, I do," Ranma said. "This wouldn't happenen to have anything to do with our date does it Tea?"
"For his sake, I hope not!" Ukyo said as she got her giant spatula out.
"HOLD ON THERE!" Yami finally snapped. "YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO TAKE TEA FROM ME!"
"NOW WAIT A MINUTE!" Ranma yelled, knowing where this was going. "IT WAS MY POP'S IDEA TO ENGAGE ME TO HER WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE!"
"ENOUGH OF THE LIES!" Yami bellowed as he was ready to jump over the griddle and make Ranma sorry he even met him.
"Tea...you go outside and wait...I don't want you to get hurt."
"Right," Tea said as she did as she was told, and she saw Mokuba.
"Mokuba what are you doing here?" She asked.
"Tell Yugi to hightail it out of here! That Nabiki Tendo knows everything!"
"Shit, not what I wanted on my first date...excuse me," she said as she went in to set Yami straight...physically.
SMACK!
"Hey! What'd you do that for?" Yami asked...which was the common question around these parts anyway.
"YOU KNOW BETTER," Tea scolded him.
"You should know better than to treat people who want to be your friend!"
"Tea..not now, with yor incessant friendship speeches!" Yami whined.
"Tough! You're getting one anyway!"
Tea, then started to drone on and on about why he shouldn't mistreat others, though Ranma got the same speech for Kuno, and Ryoga's sake. After about an hour, Ranma just took his dinner to go. As soon as he got hime, he saw Nabiki standing there. She wanted to know all the juicy details, and where Tea was at.
"Where's Tea," Nabiki asked.
"I see why people don't like her," Ranma said.
"Why do you say that?" She pressed.
"Those damned friendship speeches," Ranma said. "It's like I hate Ryoga, or nothing."
"Oh, yeah, well, I should warn you that you're going to find out the other girl's most annoying quirks...even Akane's." Nabki warned.
"I think I had a sample of that."
"That's your dinner?" Nabiki asked.
"Yep"
"OK, I won't keep you then." Nabiki said.
"Want some?" Ranma offered.
"No thanks, I gotta watch my girlish figure," Nabiki said.
"See you in the morning," Ranma said.
"Oh, Ranma, why don't you sleep with me on the floor tonight, I don't want you father messing this up."
"Don't worry," Ranma said, "he messes up all the time."
"Alright," Nabiki said as she went to the dojo to check up on Akane...who was breaking dummies that looked like Ranma.
Ranma's first date didn't go as planned. He did realize he had to make a choice. Though, his mind was wondering about Nabiki. Nah, it'd never work between them. Though, Ranma had eight more dates to go. However, Tristan and Duke heard about Ranma's situation and they were happy about it.
"YES! THANK YOU GOD!" Tristan said. "THAT MAI KEEPS GETTING ON MY NERVES ABOUT THOSE HARPIE LADIES!"
"You ain't the only one happy!" Duke said.
"Hey, I wonder If I can get with that, Nabiki?" Tristan wandered.
"It's going to cost you...you'll have to get a part-time job!"
"Well, it'll be worth it...though her sister Kasumi though..." Tristan started and he had a fantasy with him and her in the bed.
"Damn, I see what you mean, a businesswoman and a housewife," Tristan said.
"Hey, let's go to Ukyo's before it closes, I'm famished!" Duke said.
"Sure!"
Well, Ranma has made two allies and didn't know about it. How will his dates end up? Who will he choose? These are two hard questions that nobody can answer. For Ranma's sake, he'd better start thinking now. Because next week, Ukyo will really test him. This is going to prove to be one interesting 8 weeks as far as he was concerned.
