Lets talk
By
Imortis

Ranma woke up quickly. Something normally that wouldn't
happen, but since the pain in her backside was rather hard
to ignore, she woke. Ranma tried to sit up when she
noticed that she was on her belly and tied up. She found
she was naked "what the fuck?!" she yelled in outrage.
She jerked yelling again when the pain lashed through her
ass again "such improper langauge." akane chidded her as
she came around in front of her. Ranma blinked at her
"whats going on!?"


Akane smiled at her "ranma, you are an arrogent man that
unfortunately for me, I love. You have very little
respect for women at all, strange since you have this
body." she said playing with ranmas hair. She glared at
her "what are you doing?" she hissed in anger. Akane
frowned at her "ranma, I'm tired of the way you treat
me. You insult me during the day and use me at night.
I'm not putting up with it anymore, so I was left with
two choices. One, leave you." she said sitting back in
her chair. 

Ranma looked horrified "no!" she cried and started
struggling "thats not fair! How the hell was
I supposed to know you were unhappy if you didn't tell
me?!?!" she demanded after finding her bonds were too
tight. Akane looked at her "because its your job. I
married you ranma, you said you loved me and I married
you. Yet your the same jerk I didn't want to marry in
the first place, except now I have to put up with you
insulting me in bed too."


Ranma frowned "what do you mean?" she asked. Akane
rolled her eyes "we've been married for three months, you
haven't noticed how much I dislike sex with you? Sex is
for the enjoyment of both man and woman ranma, all you care
about is getting yourself off. Never have you bothered to
please me, hell, I had to start keeping sex toys around just
so I can go to sleep happy!" she spat. 

Ranma blinked at her a few times before lowering her head
"damn you akane. You know how I grew up. I haven't the
first clue on what to do, I figured that since you never
complained about it you must enjoy it. If you didn't like
it you should have said something, I would have done
something about it!" she yelled. Akane didn't change
her exspression at all "the second option is to teach you
what its like to leave a woman hanging."

Akane walked to the door and let gosinkugi hikaru in the
room. He looked around nerviously "I don't know about this
akane. Ranma will kill me when he gets loose." he said
afraid. She smiled at him "not unless he wants me to
leave him. He has this coming after a year and a half
of putting up with his shit."

Ranma looked on in horror as akane stripped the geek and
showed her the surprisingly large member hikaru was
gifted with. "No! Akane don't!" she cried struggling
even harder then before as she led him over to her.
"You have this coming ranma, you've had this body for a
year now and you should have learned something about
women just from touching yourself. My first time was
filled with pain because you were too stupid to do it
right. You didn't care that you were hurting me, you
just wanted to get off."

Ranmas pleadingly look turned to one of disbelieving
disgust as she felt the boys first efforts to get her
ready "please akane, don't do this. Don't make me do
this, i'll do anything you want, show me what to do...
but... don't do this to me!" she cried then jerked
hard as pain lanced through her middle as he entered her.
She gapped at the wall jerking in pain every time he slid
home inside before cumming a few minutes later. She
layed her head down on the table and cried silently.


Ranma woke up a few hours later as again pain lashed her
backside "sleepy times over ranma. You've been asleep
for ten hours." akane said walking around in front of
her. Ranma blinked dully seeing her naked "what? Going
to cheat on me yourself? Going to fuck him yourself or
help him rape me again." she spat hatefully. Akane
blinked at her "no, i'm going to do what you asked. You
asked me to show you what you were doing wrong, thats
what i'm going to do." she said spreading her legs.
Ranma watched her play with herself and nodded as she
explained it to her and answered her questions
correctly after the first few tries and after akane was
satisfied she understood, she let her go.

Ranma moved slowly to relieve the cramping in her legs
before she wordlessly put her clothes on and left with
her. Akane walked next to ranma for a minute before
taking her hand and smiled "its only fair ranma, you hurt
me the first time we had sex, it hurt bad. It made me
angry when you got pissed when I said no the next night.
It still hurt, a lot. I didn't think telling you would
make any difference since you never listen to me
anyways." she said softly. Ranma nodded "right, I never
listened because you never told me. How do you know I
wouldn't listen? You never tried to talk to me."

Akane blinked as ranma pulled her hand away and walked
into a pawn shop they had stopped in front of. She
followed her in and blinked as she walked over to the
gun counter and started looking at guns "what are you
doing ranma?" she asked. Ranma ignored her as she
pointed to a tanto on the wall. The man nodded handing
it to her "thats sharper then hell girl, be careful with
it." the man said. Ranma nodded "thats what I'm looking for."

Akane looked worriedly at the knife in ranmas hands as
she tested its grip nodding in aproval "yes, this'll work
nicely in ridding me of an annoying itch." she murmured
doing a few test thrusts with it before looking at the
wall tensely, then suddenly flipped the blade about and
sank it into her side. Everyone in the shop gapped in
horror as the girl worked the blade about then pushed it
in deeper. Before the man could do anything she pulled
the blade loose and stabbed it into her other side and
repeated her work. After a minute she looked at a pale
faced akane "there, no way that freaks child can survive
that." she said bringing the knife to her throat but
crumpled when a man hit her in the head "call an
ambulance!!"


Ranma woke up slowly and found herself restrained to a
bed with an annoying pain in her middle. "Shes awake." a
nurse said. Ranma looked over as a doctor walked over
with tofu and akane "want to talk about it ranma?" tofu
asked softly. Ranma looked at him "I did a little
research a few months ago while we were in china. I
found out, that every person cursed by the pool to turn
into a girl, has a one hundred percent chance of getting
pregnant on their first sexual encounter with a man. I
found out, that the barrier that keeps the cursed body
just skin deep is if you never use the bodys natural
functions, the body would be like yours, just shaped
different. The amazons used it as a last chance to breed
strong males, that with the spring drowned man, they did
that, both partners could give birth."


She looked away "I was never going to break that
barrier...." she sobbed. The nurse wiped her face clean
"as long as it stayed there, I was just a man cursed to
turn into a woman. Once the barrier is gone, the base
personality is altered, changed to acomidate the nature
of the now permenent body. To change the man, into
something else, into man and woman. Changing that person
so drastically no one would know them when the full
change takes effect. Its too bad really, I liked ranma
saotome."

Tofu blinked at her "I guess you did more research on it
then I did." he murmured softly. Ranma shook her head
"you went for the facts, I went for the truth. I
studied the people like this, spoke to them, talked it
over with them. I met a man that was a great house wife,
cooked, cleaned, even looked forward to his husbands
coming home from patrol. The sick thing is, they had sex
as men as well, he wasn't a bad looking woman, but he
didn't care how sick it was anymore. In evey case I
looked at the basic man/woman relashionship had broken
down into pervertion, turning them into the freaks i've
tried so hard to prove I wasn't."

Tofu looked sadly at his patient after the drugs had taken
effect and she had drifted into a stooper "well she did an
efficient job of killing her womb, and she was right, we
found a fetus about a day old growing inside her, she
killed it too." the doctor said showing him the x-rays
"no major organs or vains cut, she knew what she was
going for and took it out with surgical precision. Very
little blood loss, and the wounds were easily repaired.
The store owner said they stopped her just as she was
about to slit her throat."

Akane sat next to the bed looking at the floor feeling
agonized about what she had done "akane!" nodokas voice
called to her suddenly. She looked up as terror filled
her, their families were here. "Who did this akane?!"
genma demanded. Ranma looked at him through glazed eyes
"everyone did it. The gods love ruining my life, I'm
ruined, I'm not fit to carry on the school." she drawled
softly, babbling about everything and nothing at the
same time "mom?" she asked looking at her steadily as she
blinked to clear her eyes "fate has conspired to kill
your son and replace him with a freak of nature that
would be most glad if you would kill it. Kill me?
Please? I can't live like this, I'm not a man anymore
and never will be again." she cried straining against her
restraints.

Tofu hearing her came over and put her to sleep "ranma did
this to herself. Seems something neither of these two
are willing to talk about happened.... but from what we
can tell.... ranma had sex with a man, and from the
damage done it wasn't voluntary. The curse made sure he
would get pregnant from it almost right away. The
police say, and the damage proves, that ranma and akane
entered a pawn shop where ranma used a knife on display
to permenantly render herself barren, they stopped her
before she slit her throat. We restrained her because
she tried to stop us from helping her. I'm sorry, but
their instatutionalizing her when we deem her well enough
to be moved. I had nothing to do with it, the decision
was made before I was called in. I was able to talk
them into down classing her from criminally insane to
emotionally disturbed. So they will send her to a more
friendly place. Once I explained about the rape."


Ranma woke up yet again, slowly. She looked around,
blinking at the featureless room she was in before
noticing the large padded mits she was wearing.
"Hello?!" she called sitting up slowly. She looked at a
nurse when she walked into the room and checked her
bandages "where am I?" she asked. The lady smiled "I'll
get the doctor, he'll tell you everything you need to
know." she said soothingly and ranma glared at her as
she left the room "smarmy bitch."

When the doctor came in the room ranma blinked at him
"your not dressed as a doctor." she said as he sat in the
chair next to her bed. He smiled "no i'm not. I'm a
head shrink. I'm here to figure out whats wrong with you
and fix it if I can." he said smiling.

Ranma snorted looking out the window "my problem is life
doc, its still going. My life is in shambles and I would
have ended it if that asshole hadn't hit me from
behind." she said bitterly. He nodded looking at her file
"want to talk about the reason you tried to kill
yourself?" he asked comfortingly. Ranma looked at him
"I hate men, and I hate woman. Its that simple. I hate
this body and I hate men for wanting this body. I was
born a man, damn the gods! Its unatural for me to be like
this!"

He blinked looking at her file again and read it
carefully "are you really a man cursed to look like
that?!" he exclaimed fasinated. Ranma nodded "ya, if
you want to know my problem doc, your going to need more
then a few hours to hear it. It started from pretty much
the minute I was born...."


Dr yurochi sighed as he sat down in the waiting room with
akane and nodoka "your son is a very strong person to
have survived everything he has, if its to be believed,
and still be able to talk clearly. Most of his problem
stems from someeone he calls the worthless old man. He
has more then an unatural fear of cats. He has an
unatural fear of woman. He is, or was scared to death of
learning anything about a womans body due to the fact
that hes scared to death of becoming the person that fits
that body hes in. He tells me he isn't the person he was
a few days ago. The person I've been talking to is well
spoken and very thoughtful. Acording to him, thats not
normal."

They blinked at him "no, thats not normal, ranma always
comunicated through action, hes a master martial artist."
nodoka said worried. He blinked "not by what the staff
said, she got into a fight the other day, someone else
started it. Ranma went to an attendant and politely asked
him to deal with the woman."

They gapped at him "your joking!" nodoka exclaimed but
akane calmed "no, ranma could never hit a woman, he
thought it dishonored him too much, no matter how much...
they... beat him up." she said looking down. Nodoka
hugged her arm "can we see him?" she asked. He looked at
them for a minute "I wouldn't mind seeing how he would
react to seeing you, and its almost time I go see him
myself."


Ranma looked up from the computer monitor in front of her
and blinked a few times at her mother as the doctor came
into her room "hello ranma, I see you've put that
computer to good use." he murmured looking at the file
she was typing "coraspondance?" he asked. Ranma nodded
"this is an american manufacturing specialist thats going
to help me.... do something when I get out of here." she
said calmly ignoring the two women beside him "and what
would that be?" he asked. Ranma shrugged "there are
hosptitals in america tha can remove a mans need for
sexual contact and somehow remove a womans thing as well.
I've made enough money while i've been in nerima for
the operation, this man is going to help me by
setting it up." she said waving to the screen. He
blinked "why would you need to remove your manhood?" he
asked. Ranma looked at him "its better to have none then
to let that.... pervertion.... near me."

He nodded "thats a bit on the excessive side isn't it?"
he asked. Ranma shrugged "I don't care. It was sex that
got me into this mess in the first place, no one bothered
to even ask me if I knew what to do. They just assumed,
asumption is a idiots recourse to keep from doing
anything they would find compromising of their oh so high
morals. No, its the mans fault for not knowing, it
doesn't matter that he didn't have the slightest
clue, he should have just known, like the poor
shit should have read it in their minds or something.
Too busy dealing with them and their exspectations to
even stop to think for himself. Too busy trying to keep
up with his families demands to realize there really
wasn't anything but their demands, where is this man?
Ha, there isn't one, he wasn't allowed to be his own
person, no. He has to be what we want, can't let him
think for himself, that leads to doing something other
then what we want. Can't let that happen, nothing but
martial arts should be in his tiny little brain."

She snort "then they go and perform the cruelest trick
yet. They give him something new hes supposed to do,
have a wife, kids, carry on our demands. Only difference
was that the puppet strings were in different places.
Now they expect him to know something else, something so
far away from what they pushed on him he had no basis to
work with. Can we really blame him for screwing it up?"

She hugged her knees "yes, we can. Its his job to know
everything we demand he know. Its not important that we
didn't even begin to teach it to him, its his job to
know. We can't let him get away with not knowing, got to
punish him, can't let our dog think thats how its done.
And we can't really show him ourselves, no, we have to
punish him severely first, for making us dirty our hands
with such things as helping a uninformed person learn how
to do it. No, lets ruin his life yet again before we set
him down and explain. Lets force him to deal with yet
another trip through hell before we tell him anything,
he'll take it, we told him too. Everything will go back
to the way it was once his life is, yet again, a living
hell. Yes once he comes out of it, its business as
usual. I say its kinder to kill the poor bastard."

The doctor nodded writing in his file "so you think its
better to cut your nose off to spite your face?" he asked.
Ranma looked at him "got a better way? Could just cut the
head off, wouldn't hurt as much, but then they were
torture some other poor bastard, have other kids to
torment." she said looking out the window. He nodded
"what about your wife?" he asked. She didn't do anything
"what about her? Shes just as demanding as they were
just as useless in helping me, never bothered to talk
about what I'm doing wrong, just all too happy to force
me into doing something that scares me to death, I would
rather have spent the night with a few hundred cats, and
for all I care.... she can have her pig. Hes used to
being a pet, and oh what a coinky dink! Hes also a man!
Dumb ass ryoga been playing her pet for so long with his
cursed form, I wouldn't be surprised if shes sleeping
with him already. Hes traveled the world, he probably
knows how to treat a woman."

She closed her eyes "who cares about such things as love
and honor? All they do is confuse the dog, leave him
open for their punishments. I could have easily broken
free of the bonds I was in. No matter how well you tied
me up akane, I could have destroyed the whole fucking
building. But I didn't, I 'loved' you too much to risk
hurting you, so I waited until you were finished
punishing me, deal with the consiquences when you get
the chance. Unfair, they stopped you, the dogs not
allowed to end his own misery. Guess I didn't ask huh?"

They didn't say a thing as she cried softly to herself
"poor stupid fucking dog huh? Thought he was doing good
because finally he had found someone that wasn't against
telling him right away when he wasn't doing it right.
No, she would never allow misunderstanding to stand for
long. She 'loved' him too. She'd help him, I mean,
we're partners right? If i'm not doing it right then she
would tell me. Thats how its supposed to go right?" she
sobbed into her knees then looked up at akane, not
caring about the tears in her eyes "but no! She isn't
anything but another demand, at least mom and pop were
kind enough to state the problem before punishing me for
it. 'Do it better' 'stop being a weakling' 'be a MAN!'
'Like this person' 'marry this person." she said flicking
her eyes to nodoka.

Her mother looked away in shame "its not your fault mom, you
were never there, pop used the idea of an unforgiving
monster in place of a mother, after all, you weren't
there to deny what he was doing. 'Be a better man or
your mother will kill us both!' 'Thats pathetic, how are
you going to show your face to your mother?!' he made
you out to be a monster that expected me to be master of
the world. No, anything less and mom would would strike
you down with rightous hate!"

She looked away "how was I to know? You weren't there.
All I had to go on was what pop taught me, and to him
martial arts was the world. Not to be bothered with the
little things like how i'm supposed to treat a wife once
I have one. So, I played it safe, I fell in love with
someone I was sure would back me up against the enemy,
she hated what they were doing as much as i did, she'd
stand by me." ranma stopped to try to hold off the tears.
"shes nice, shes honest, she'll help me. Should have
married ukyo, she was the same, she was just as loud to
tell me when I was wrong, the only reason I didn't was
because I was in love. I cared more about the one my
parents set upon me. She was loud in her denials of what
they wanted. Should have known she was just playing
along with them. Nothing they did to me was ever good,
don't know why I thought this one would be different."

Akane jumped up crying angrily "why are you picking on
me?!" she yelled. Ranma looked at her "because you did
it to me! Oh you were good, you found the ONLY fear I
had left, and you exicuted it masterfully, the only way
it could have been worse was if it had been kuno you had
rape me!" she said bitterly. Akane sat back down
deflated "I'm sorry ranma, how was I supposed to know?"
she sobbed. Ranma looked at her calmly "you could have
talked to me. I would have listened, I would have told
you. But you took a page from pops book, with just a
dash of nibiki and kodachi mixed in to make it worse
for me!"

Akane covered her face "how was I to know, you never
listened before..." she cried softly. Ranma got up and
hugged her "you never talked before, usually you yelled
instead of talked. I ignored that, things like pervert
and freak along with cross dresser would acompany it.
I'm none of those things, you just said them to be mean.
How was I to know yelling from talking when the volumes
the same?"

"Why didn't you tell the police what had happened ranma?"
Dr yurochi asked suddenly. Ranma looked at him "because
I deserved it. I let them lead me by the nose thinking
they knew what was best, parents are supposed to. So I
never knew I was supposed to know these things. I
deserved what I got. Besides, I won't hurt my wife for
teaching me how much of an asshole I was. I deserved to
lose my manhood."

Akane looked wide eyed at him "what do you mean?" she
asked worried. Ranma looked at her for a minute "I
haven't been able to change back since I came here,
i'm stuck like this." she whispered. Both women gasped
in horror "no!" nodoka cried covering her mouth. Ranma
nodded "its been a month now and I've tried many times.
Maybe I should see tofu? Is cologne still around?" she
asked. Akane shook her head "cologne left when you were
put in here, said she had interfered enough in our
lives." she said softly. Ranma nodded "I guess its for
the best."


Tofu looked thoughtful two days later when he came back
in the room with the results of the test he had taken
"this is strange and rather unbelievable ranma, the
damage you did to yourself... has fully healed. No scar
tissue at all, its like you never did it." he said
holding out the x-rays to the shocked doctor. Ranma
looked at him "does that mean.... i'm still pregnant?"
she whispered. He nodded "the magic seems to have fixed
everything. The child is about three weeks old."

Ranma looked at him for a minute "I'm not carrying this
thing to term tofu, you can help me get rid of it or I
can kill myself and everyone that tries to stop me." she
said softly he looked thoughtful as the institute doctors
looked up at the orderlies in the room "if you continue
to make threats we will have to restrain you." he said.
Ranma looked at him as the air around her started to glow
"I don't make threats doctor. This child is not mine
and I will not carry it. I may not be in the same shape
I was a month ago but I can still destroy half this
building and everyone in it in seconds." she said as the
ki ball started growing in her hands "don't!" tofu
shouted to the orderlies when they moved to restrain her
"if she doesn't get rid of that willingly it'll kill us
all!" he yelled in annoyance. She smirked at them as she
offered the ball "wanna try? Come on, big strong men
think they can take little ball from little deranged girl."

Tofu cleared his throat and she looked at him "what about
the father?" he asked. Ranma snarled "I'd kill him if he
showed up. Besides, akane made both of us do it." she
said and let the ball disappear before smirking at him
"what do I need to do?" she asked. He sighed "nothing, I
can make you something that will abort the child
harnlessly." he said standing up. She nodded "alright,
can you see if you can get me out of here? I've been
trying to ignore these idiots and their forced gentleness
for a while but its getting on my nerves." she said
glaring at the orderlies. He nodded "i'll set up a
hearing to get you released, just don't kill anyone." he
said before leaving the room. Ranma looked at the men
"only if I'm forced too."


Akane came into the ward and rang the bell "hi, i'm here
to see my husband." she said smiling at the woman. She
nodded looking through the list "I'm sorry maam, mr
saotome is in solitary for assaulting ten orderlies and
causing structural damage to three rooms." she said.
Akane glared at her "I'm here to see ranma, you can take
me to him or I can find him myself. Ranma needs me, hes
got to be very angry about whats happened." she growled
at the woman. She looked passively at her "I'm not
allowed to do that. You'll need to speak to his doctor."
she said. Akane nodded "get me the doctor."

Akane looked up and smirked at the doctor as he came into
the waiting room, seeing the cast on the mans hand "take
me to ranma or I'm going to come back with help to
take him out of here." she stated. He blinked "mister
saotome is disturbed maam, he put three men in the
hospital and two of them are in intensive care. Thats
out of the question." he said. Akane crossed her arms as
she glared at him "he wouldn't have done it if you hadn't
pushed the issue. I have friends that are very anxious
to have him out of here. If I tell them he is being
mistreated you will be very unhappy with what happens."
she hissed threateningly.

The man pulled himself up haughtilly "threats, thats all we
get from you people isn't it?" he sniffed "mister saotome
is in solitary for assaulting orderlies. Hes to stay
there until his time is up." he said finally. Akane
nodded "fine, if you want it that way, then I will not
be held accountable for any damage done to this facility."


The nurse looked up and jumped in surprise at the huge
man standing in front of her "I am here to see ranma
saotome. His wife said I should come here and see for
myself what they are doing to my friend." he said looking
none too pleased for being here. "Ryoga!" akane called
walking into the room "I didn't exspect you for a
while!" she said pleased. He smiled at her "to tell you
the truth, nibiki drove me." he said motioning to nibiki
behind him. She smiled "hey, ranmas my brother in law,
its partly my fault hes in here. If you say hes better
and being miss treated then i'm all for getting him out
of here." she said. ryoga nodded "whats happened?" he
asked. Akane smiled greatfully "they say ranma attacked
ten orderlies and the doctor shortly after tofu left
him, he destroyed a room or two and put three of them in
the hospital. According to tofu, ranmas curse kept the
baby alive until he healed fully and is now a month
pregnant. Ranma talked him into helping him abort it and
that the doctor here wasn't going to allow that."

Ryoga looked at the man akane nodded to as he and ten
orderlies hurried into the room "your making ranma stay
pregnant?!" he yelled angry. "How the hell is it that he
hasn't torn this place apart yet?" he asked akane. She
shook her head. Nibiki snorted "they're drugging him.
Thats the only way to explain it." she said. Ryoga
snarled VERY angry now "how dare you do that to my
friend?!" he yelled before turning to the locked door
next to the desk and smashed it to pieces "ranma?! Where
are you?!" he yelled entering the room.

Akane hurried after him "solitary confinement is this way
ryoga." she said pulling him along. He nodded glowing
now "they put him in one of those padded room things
didn't they?!" he snarled smashing every door he came to.
They stopped as they reached their destination and akane
looked through the list of people in the ward "here! Hes
in the one on the end." she said hurrying over. She
looked into the room at the red haired girl slumped
against th wall "ranma?! They put him in a strait
jacket!" she exclaimed slamming against the door. Ranma
looked up slowly to stare at them dully with glazed eyes.

Blinking ranma looked a little more interested as ryoga
roared enraged by the state his friend was in. Ranma
blinked at a piece of the door that hit the wall next to
her and looked at him dazedly as he gently scooped her
up and carried her out of the room and into the hall.
She looked at akane with a slight smile as her head
lollied to the side "com safe?" she asked softly. Akane
nodded kissing her "yes, we're going to take you to
tofu." she said taking her from ryoga as the doctor ran
into the hall "you can't! Shes suicidal and trying to
kill her child!" he yelled as the orderlies ran at them.
Ryoga easily flattened all thirty of them before they
started towards the door "its her right 'doctor'. Ranmas
my friend, and from what I see he had a good reason for
fighting back." he snarled lifting the man off his feet.


Ranma woke up even slower then normal, everything was so
sluggish for so long, she thought she was awake some
times, sometimes she saw doctors and even ryoga and
akane. She opened her eyes and winced seeing a bright
light in her eyes "waz doin? Get outta my face." she
moaned pushing it away "I guess she is coming out of
it." tofu murmured turning the light out. Ranma blinked
a few times "coming out of what?" she mumbled sitting up
with help "you don't remember?" ryoga asked. She looked
at him blinking "no, its like a faded dream, where am
I?" she asked looking about tofus examination room.
Akane hugged her "I'm so happy your alright." she cried.
Ranma hugged her "I'm not going to be alright until this
is over with akane." she said grimly. She nodded "tofu
has everything ready!" she said excited. Ranma nodded
taking the glass he handed her and quaffed it down
before he could say anything "its going to taste real
bad ranma, as I see you guessed." he said rolling his
eyes as ranma gagged on it before snatching the glass of
water from him.

Ranma was looking green when nibiki came in with an old
man who looked harried. "How are you doing ranma?" she
asked. Ranma looked at her "how do you think I'm doing?
I just found out I was being drugged to keep me from
getting rid of a baby I came by from a rape. I'm
peachy." she said sarcastically. Nibiki smirked "then
your going to love this, your doctor is hikaru gosinkugis
uncle." she said. Ranma snarled "no wonder that bastard
was exstatic when he heard I was still pregnant. He
wants the baby." she said very angry. The man blinked
"why don't you press charges on his nephew? If he is
the man that raped you." he pointed out. Ranma shook her
head "no, I wouldn't be able to do that without akane
getting in trouble too." she said motioning to akane.

He blinked "why would it do that?" he asked. Ranma
didn't answer so akane sighed "I got angry at ranma and
thought to teach him a lesson for being a jerk to me all
the time, so I went to the one guy I knew that I thought
would be able to do what I wanted done." she looked down
"ranma didn't know the first thing about sex and I was
too embarressed to tell him what to do, so I got with
nibiki to help me show him what he was doing wrong." she
said biting her lip. He nodded for her to continue "she
came up with a plan that maybe if he found out how much
it upsets me when he doesn't take care of me when in
bed... so we gave him something to make him sleep for a
while before taking him to a motel. We changed him into
his cursed form and tied him up naked. I wanted him to
know how much it hurt the first time we made love. I
made hikaru take ranmas virginity and of course didn't
even come close to making her feel good. Pretty much
the way it was between the two of us."

Ranma nodded "she did it to teach me a lesson. And I
know that. Both of us were being stupid by not talking
to each other about it, and if it wasn't for my curse we
might have never come to this. The magic guaranteed that
I would get pregnant from it, thats why I went to the
pawn shop. I couldn't take becoming what the magic was
going to do to me. I did try to kill myself, but can you
blame me? Here I am, an ignorant bastard that was proud of
being a man and my wife helps the town weakling rape me,
on top of that I get pregnant and the magic that made it
all possible was going to turn me into some perverted
freak that likes men and women. I would rather be dead
then find myself in bed with a man. So, I tried to kill
the baby then kill myself, I thought I had killed the
baby, but yet again the magic fucked me over, I found out
that what the doctors thought damaged beyond repair a
month ago is working just fine a few days ago. I talked
tofu here into helping me abort the child and mr
'Iknowwhatsgoodforyou' siks ten guys on me to hold me
down for the strait jacket he wanted to put me in." she
said holding up the jacket. 

He nodded slowly "I guess I can understand. There really
was no reason for you to be in there huh?" he said.
Ranma shook her head "no I needed to be locked up, I
would have killed myself the minute they let me out of
the hospital if I hadn't been locked up." she said
smirking ruefully. They blinked at her "but you don't
now?" he asked. Ranma shook her head "nope. The changes
have already altered my mind and I find I don't care as
much about some things the way I used to. And the fact
that looking at ryogas ass isn't making me sick to my
stomach." she said admiringly.

He blanched "r- ranma! you cut that out!!" he yelled.
Ranma smirked at him "all I want to do now is try to cope
with the changes, but first I'm going to lose this baby.
I am not keeping it. It was not put into me willingly
and i'll be damned if the bastards going to see the light
of day. I will NOT have hikarus kid!" she said in
disgust. The man nodded "that little weasel boy, I know
of him, my son goes to your school." he said in
explanation.

Ranma looked at him "so who are you?" she asked narrowing
her eyes. He smiled holding out his hand "i'm judge
hurayomo. I was contacted by dr ono here asking me to
review your case. From what I hear this doctor is in a
little trouble. Keeping a patient hostage is very
illegal." he said stoutly. Ranma smiled at him
"thanks, its good to hear someone say that." she said
then tensed up suddenly as pain lanced through her
insides. She gasped doubling over in pain as her insides
fought to come out "ranma! Whats wrong?!" akane
exclaimed clutching at her. Ranma shook her head but
before she could answer she pushed her away and scrambled
to the trash can in the corner and threw up long and hard.

When it was over ranma panted at the ceiling from where
she layed looking up at the faces above her "is it
supposed to do that?" she asked tofu. He shook his head
as he examined the bloody mess in his can "no, its meant
to cause the body to treat it as a normal period, i've
used it many times and not once has it done that." he
murmured disposing of the bag in the can. Ranma let them
help her up and leaned on akane as her insides felt like
they had just been through a blender "are you ok?" akane
asked softly. She nodded feeling dazed "I think so, so
my system rejected it?" she asked tofu. He nodded with a
sigh "yes, thats never happened before. I don't know
how to tell you this ranma, but I don't think you can
abort this child." he said. She felt her knees go weak
"can't?! What do you mean I can't?!?!" she yelled at
him. He looked down "normal abortion ranma would not be
as effective as what you did to yourself with the knife.
That was the strongest dose of this stuff I had given
anyone before.." he trailed off shaking his head. Ranma
felt her knees give way and slumped to the floor
"nothing?" she asked waveringly. Akane hugged her crying
herself now "we'll find something, I promise we will."
she sobbed holding onto her. Ranma looked at the floor
for a few minutes "no... we won't. We're not going to
find a way. The curse itself is protecting it..... and
I'd have to..... break the curse to do it. And... I
can't break the curse if I want my normal form back.
I.. I'm... I'm going to..... have to... oh god... I'm
going to be sick."

Tofu sighed as he changed the bag in his trash can again
and set it before the girl sitting in the corner as she
stared at the soft slippers she was still wearing. She
nodded thanks to him before going back to staring at her
feet before looking at the judge talking softly with
akane and nibiki "judge?" she called and they came over
to her "is there any way... I can keep the gosenkugi
family from trying to get the baby when its born?
Theres no way in hell I'm letting that bastard get it
after what his uncle did to me." she said angrily.

He sighed "not really, if they convence a judge that the
childs welfare is in danger then they can have it taken
from you. You can get a restraining order put against
them, in fact I think I'll do that for you. But unless
your willing to press charges theres nothing else we can
do." Ranma smirked at him "nothing else the law can do.
No, unless you can do it without getting akane and nibiki
in trouble." she said looking hopeful. He shook his
head "i'll look, but I don't know if I'll find anything."
he said shaking his head. Ranma nodded "thank you, for
understanding." she murmured squeezing his hand warmly.
He smiled "I know what your going through, i've delt
with this type of case before... well, not one where the
girl can't get rid of the child, or the possiblity of
the rapists family trying to get the baby. I'll do what
I can for you." he promised before standing up and left
smiling at everyone.

Ranma watched the man leave then looked at them "first
thing to do is get changed, I want my clothes back. Then
akane and I are going to see hikaru." she said standing
up then smiled at ryoga "come on, you look hungry, lets
get something to eat too." he nodded following them to the
car and sat up front with nibiki as akane got in the
back with ranma. "Alright then." nibiki murmured looking
back at them "so where do you want to go?" she asked.
Akane looked at her "the dojo."


Ranma blinked as they got out of the car to find police
officers waiting. "Are you ranma saotome?" One of them
asked ryoga. He shook his head "nope, i'm ryoga." he
said distracting them while akane and nibiki hurrying
ranma inside. By the time ranma was dressed ryoga had
talked the cops to boredom "then this panda, he pulls me
out of the pool, heres the scary part, I wasn't human
anymore. I had changed into this small black piglet. I
was scared shitless, because they were going to cook
me!" ranma came up behind him and put a bun in his
face "telling that old story again?" she chuckled before
shaking the cops hands "hi, I'm ranko saotome. Ranma is
my brother." she said smiling.

They blinked at her for a minute "ms...saotome.
According to this file I have right here your ranma saotome,
except it shows you as being a man." he said frowning.
Ranma took it from him and perused it interested "hhmm...
lets see. Look at this akane, that son of a bitch said I
was mentally unstable with a fixation on killing myself
and or my unborn child. Do you see anything here about
how that child was put in me? About how it was his
freak nephew that did it? Or that my choice in the act
seemed to have been taken from me? No 'forced sex' no
'rape' no 'involuntetary intercourse' if I didn't know any
better I would say this quack wanted people to forget the
little fact that it is considered rape when the girl is
tied down and is violently against it. No mention at all
of the doctors report taken when I was admited to the
hospital a month ago. No these things are strangely
missing from this file."

Ranma flipped back to the first page and smirked "well
look at that, this has a picture of me when I was in the
hospital and look, isn't this my school picture?" she
asked showing her the picture of him in his male form "I
miss having black hair." she pouted. Akane chuckled at
her "oh don't worry, you'll get it back soon enough."
she said smiling. Ranma smiled at the cop as he cleared
his throat in annoyance "can I have that back please?" he
asked. Ranma nodded handing it to him "let me guess,
your police officers from the ward the crazy house is in
aren't you?" she asked politely. They nodded "yes, we
were sent here to bring you back with us if you showed
up. Are you going to come willingly?" he asked. Ranma
clasped her hands behind her back and smiled widely at
them "lets see... am I going to go back with you..... I
don't know, what would be my motivation for doing that?"
She asked thoughtfully. They blinked at her a few times
"because your an escaped mental patient?"

Ranma nodded slowly as she thought about that "and what
do you base this judgement on? No, I know what you base
it on, well see I got this other doctor, my family
doctor, he seems to think your doctor is full of shit.
And from the look of the police officers he brought with
him, he suspected that you would be here." she murmured
looking at tofu behind the group. They turned around and
blinked at the nerima cops as they stood silently watching
"officers, I have a warrent here for the arrest of yoshi
oshu. The doctor that was illegally holding my patient
in that mental ward against her will." he murmured
handing them the paper. They blinked at it for a minute
before nodding "alright, we'll be seeing you later then."
the cop said suppressing the anger he was feeling at
being tricked. The nerima cops smirked at them as they
followed "we'll be going with you to serve the warrent
if you don't mind."

Ranma chuckled to herself for a minute before looking at
tofu "so, to what do we owe such a surprising visit from
such a highly regarded person, such as yourself?" she
asked hugging him. He blinked smiling "just had a hunch
and it turned out to be right. I figured you would be
confronted with some sort of response from doctor oshu
and might need a little backup of the paper kind." he
said smiling at her. Ranma smiled back "i'm grateful.
I would ask you to stay for tea" she started as kisumi
walked out onto the porch "but you seem to be running
off." she finished as he started his act before leaving
quickly "dr tofu is so funny." kisumi said looking after
him. Ranma blinked at the longing she saw cross her
face and desided to think about it later.

Ranma looked at akane biting her lip "if you don't want
to go in, you can stay out here." she said softly. Akane
shook her head "no, I'm just as much to blame for this,
ok its my fault." she growled when she snorted. "What
ever, lets get this over with." she said ringing the
doorbell. A rather pretty woman answered blinking at
the two of them "please tell me your not here to see my
husband?" she asked looking at the two beautiful girls.

Ranma snorted "no, we're here to see hikaru maam, we're
classmates of his and we're working on a project
together." she said cheerfully. She blinked at them
for a minute "oh, ok uh... alright, come in." she said
waving them in. Ranma looked about the rather normal
living room surprised "huh, I exspected to see weird shit
hanging everywhere." she muttered leaning against the
wall opening into the hall the woman had gone down.
Ranma looked up as the woman came back down the hall
"here he is." she said cheerfully as she went into the
kitchen. Ranma blinked as hikaru was followed by a man
in a suit "ak- akane good, I was hoping it would be you,
is nibiki with you? This man wants to talk to you." he
said slowly until ranma tapped him on the shoulder. He
turned about and screamed in fear seeing her. She bore
him back against the wall hard enough to knock a lot of
things off "so who is this man hikaru? Will it change
the fact that I'll rip your head off if I don't leave
here with a few asurances?" she asked sweetly as she
lifted him off the ground "can you please put my client
down?" the man asked. Ranma looked at the man "a lawyer,
good, I have something I wish mister gosankugi to
promise to and wouldn't you know it I have these papers
for him to sign."

She dropped him and looked at the man "i'm having a
restraining order filed against his family due to his
uncle, mr oshu, abusing his power as the ward doctor at
the hospital I was staying at to falsify the records so
he could keep me drugged until hikarus bastard child is
born." she said crossing her arms at him. He blinked at
her as hikarus mother gasped "I found out there is no
possible way I can get this kid out of me until its born,
so i'm here to tell him that he and his family will
never touch this child, hell, if oshu hadn't had me
tossed in a padded room drugged to my eye balls I would
have given the thing to him when it came."

The woman covered her mouth "how can you be carrying
hikarus child?" she whispered. The man straitened up
"well I guess its a good a time as any. The gosankugi
family is going to have you declaired unfit and
hospitalized until the baby is born, at which time the
child will be removed from your custody." he said
showing her the paper he and hikaru had been working on.
Ranma read through it and chuckled as she ripped it up
"this is very shaky reasoning lawyer man. Your going
under the asumption that the child is a product of
consenting sex. Which it wasn't. Its not consenting
when the girl is tied down and begging them not to do it.
If I have to, I'll press rape charges. I'm here today
to beat a few assurances out of the freak here saying I
have the right to kill him if he comes within a
hundred yards of me or that baby."


The man looked at her for a minute "you would force him
to sign away his rights to his child?" he asked. Ranma
snorted "its not his child. Hes just the fuck that did
it to me. I would be more then happy to help his death
be painful for his part in this, but I've had a month to
calm down and now all I want is to never see him again,
him or any of his family." she took the papers from akane
and handed them to hikaru "sign these and I leave here
and your bones stay whole."

The lawyer took them from him before looking through them
"this is unexceptable, this denies him even the right to
see the child after its born." he said holding them back
out to him. Ranma nodded "yes, see I'm being nice enough
to leave him the option of having kids again as long as
he signs away all rights to the child of a woman that he
played rapist with." she agreed. He smiled "rape will be
hard to prove in court." he said. Ranma smiled "all I
need is the doctors report good sir." she said pulling
out a sheet of paper "subject has skin lesions on rists,
arm, ankles and thighs indicating she had been
restrained at some time in the past two days and along
with the vaginal damage found, semen and blood present in
both cloths and on the victims body leaves no doubt she
had been raped. Victim is in severe mental shock as can
be exspected from the damage she performed on her own
person to remove the chance of child also found
developing from continuing." she said then held up
another paper "police report: at nine PM tueday suspect
entered a pawnshop looking extremely dazed and clearly in
shock. Owner hesitated at first when she asked to see the
weapon she chose, wanting to see if he could help the
obviously distressed girl but had no reason to deny her
access to the blade.

after being reasonably and clearly warned of the blades
sharp edge the suspect used the borrowed weapon to stab
herself twice in the abdomin before being stopped from 
slitting her throat with it. The doctors confirm that
she was purposefully aiming at ending the life already
growing inside her, farther investigating proves she was
a victim of a violent crime. At the insistance of victims
family doctor she was sent to a mental hospital until
such time as she can clearly tell what happened. This
investigation is still open and awaiting information from
the girl." she looked at the man "I'm not letting that
scum near any child I have sir, it was my first such
encounter with a man and it was down right painful the
whole ten minutes he raped me. If he thinks hes getting
anything from that hes in for a lot of pain."

Ranma whirled about and pressed the papers in hikarus
face "I'm going back to school tomarrow hikaru, sign
these and anyone finding out about what happened doesn't
come from me. If you don't sign it i'm going right to
kuno with my impression on what happened. You know what
he'll do, you'll be lucky he doesn't have someone slit
your thraot while your asleep." she snarled. He blanched
"y- you wouldn't!" he yelped in fear. Ranma nodded "then
just to make sure you die in pain, I'll tell the black
rose that her beloved ranma-sama is dead because of you,
shes crazy hikaru, who knows what she'll do. Are you
going to sign these or what?"

Ranma nodded grimly as she looked over the papers, signed
by both his mother and lawyer after a little prodding "if
these are contested in any court all bets are off." she
told him grinning hatefully "because I am sure kunos
family would love to put you and your famiily in shallow
graves when they find out that not only did you rape me,
but you tried to keep me from getting rid of the baby
legally then tried to get the court to take it from me
when its born. Kuno would love that. I can hear him now
'that vile warlock will not live to see you give birth to
his evil bastard.' he'll do it too, you know him as well
as I do. Traditional to the last!"


All conversation in the dinning room faded away when the
two of them came in. Ranma handed the papers to
nibiki "we even got the lawyer he was 'discussing' this
with to witness them along with his mother." she chuckled
giving genma a kick when he frowned at her "I don't want
to hear it old man. Because no matter what happens, it
can still be said that its all your fault, you dragged me
to that training ground, you knocked me into the pool,
your the one that denied me proper schooling for ten
years. As I see it your the root of all my problems. Or
at least the head shrink that labled me insane says so.
Me, I just think your a fool."

Everyone blinked after her when she left the room
whistling cheerfully. "Well, seems ranma changed a lot
in one month, I didn't think she could swing her hips
like that." nibiki smirked making most of the men in the
room face fault "so ryoga, are you going to try to do it
with ranma? She did say she finds you attractive." she
added grinning at him evilly. Ryoga stuttered at her
indignantly as their fathers gapped at them "I will
never-" he broke off as ranma was heard from up stairs.

"hey akane! Can you help me with this damned sports bra
mom bought me?" she called loudly. Akane stood up and
hurried out "what are you doing?!" she yelled. Ranma
yelled indignantly as akane arrived "hey why don't you
knock?!?" she yelled before stalking back down
the hall and up into their room only to come back out in
her gi, her breasts VERY prominant. "What are you doing
boy?!" genma yelled in outrage seeing it the slight
changes to the gi, the legs cut off up to her mid thigh
and the top cut back to reveal a lot of her cleavage
"what the hell does it look like?! I've only got one of
these and it was way too big for me." she yelled back
before walking down the hall ignoring his ranting. After
hearing the two girls yelling at each other as they
sparred soun desided to go watch "might as well, can't
consentrate on anything else." he said walking down the
hall.

He walked in the door and gapped seeing them sparring
topless "hey can't you knock?!" the yelled together
before stopping and panting. Ranma handed akane a towel
as she dried her own skin and sat down to examine akanes
busted lip "got ya good didn't I?" she said and akane
chuckled "ya, you need to continue to work out though, I
got you a few times too." she said looking at the bruise
growing on ranmas shoulder. She shrugged "you try living
in a place where anything more then a fast walk is taken
as a reason to drug you at night." she muttered standing
back up and offered her a hand up "want to continue?"
she asked. Akane shook her head "no thanks, I'm done."
she said. Ranma crossed her arms and glared at her "oh no
your not! Get your lazy ass up and start practicing!"
she snapped.

Akane gapped at her. Ranma stared back sternly "do you
really think I'm going to let you make me do all the
work?! You will become my equal in martial arts akane.
Your always complaining about my not letting you do half
of the things I do, then get your insulent ass up and
work harder! You want me to stop treating you like your
breakable then prove your good enough for me!"

Akane jumped in anger and got in two swings before ranma
kicked her feet out from under her and pinned her to the
mat "alright ranma you've proved your point!" soun
yelled standing up. Both of them looked at him "if I'm
to continue her training mr tendo she has to have the
proper atitude about it. If she goes into it thinking
we're equal she'll hate me when I prove it wrong, so
we're going to start off by making that point perfectly
clear. I am your better akane, we are not equal, you are
no where near good enough to stand with me in a real
battle. Once you get that in your head I can help you
become good enough. I'm not going to let you be the
trophy martial artist anymore, if your in trouble your
getting yourself out of it, no more exspecting ranma to
save you from weaklings." she let her up and looked
calmly at the tears on her face "do you understand? You
want to continue being my wife then your going to earn
that right."

"Ranma how dare you treat akane like that?!" ryoga yelled
angrily as he ran at her. Ranma did something totally
mind blowing to all of them. She kissed him. Not a
peck on the cheek, but a deep passionate kiss. When she
let him go she looked down at him "thats why I dare.
That should have been impossible and disgusting for me,
but it wasn't, your not that bad to kiss. You want a
reason, there it is. I was happy being a macho pig that
handled all the fighting and the protection bit to the
hilt. She did this to me, she can either except the
changes or I'm single again. Everyone has demands for
ranma, well, its time they learned of my demands. One of
them is that akanes going to work her ass off with me
to be able to truthfully say shes a martial artist. Not
that feather weight crap she uses now. She wants to be
my wife then shes going to share in the duties of running
a dojo equally. That means being a master of our craft,
like me."

He sat up and moved away from ranma blushing deeply "you
have changed ranma." he murmured. Ranma nodded "I found
out who I was while in that hospital, and I didn't like
it. I was just a trophy piece pop could point to in his
old age, thats it, nothing else. All I was was what pop
did to or for me. I wasn't my own person, its like I
wasn't even alive, just what he made. Ya, i've changed.
The doctor showed me an enemy, and I beat it. Now I have
to deal with being a person of my own making, and I
don't have the faintest clue on how to do that, all I
know is martial arts, and I'm finding that my hatred of
pop grows every time I come across something he should
have taught me when I was a kid, I have to suffer the
indignaty of asking people to teach these things to me.
Ya, i've changed. And things are all out of balance with
me, even my marrage is in doubt in my mind. Nothings
going to be the same with me and those that want to be
with me will change too or their gone."

She looked at akane still on her knees "you want to be my
wife?" she demanded. Akane nodded wiping at the tears
running down her face "then thats what you'll be, my wife
and partner, you have to teach me as much as I have to
teach you, this I am DEMANDING from you. I have to
suffer the humiliation of giving birth to the child of
the weakiest most pathetic man in japan then your going
to suffer with me. You wanted to be treated as my equal?
Well, first you have to become my equal, because so far
you don't even measure up to ukyos standards."

At this even kisumi was outraged "ranma that was
uncalled for!!" she yelled getting in his face. She
didn't flinch at all "you really think so? Then how
about this? You are a hypocrite. You act all sweetness
and light on the outside, when your really as
manipulative as nibiki. I can at least trust her,
because she doesn't seem to feel she has to hide it, I
can trust her to do as she will. You put over as the
innocent listener that never judges people, someone to
talk to and be comforted by. Then you turn right around
and use what you learned to herd them in the directions
you want them going. Nibiki came up with the idea to do
what akane did, she went to you for reasurance. You
made her feel it was only right to do that. Everyones so
stuck on punishing me for something that they don't stop
to think that maybe I don't know!"

She blinked at her for a few minutes looking very hurt
"but I don't blame you, its just you, I don't blame
nibiki for being nibiki, I'm not blaming anyone. I'm
just setting the record strait, letting you know that I
know what your doing, and that I want you to stop. I'm
not an animal you lead around by a carrot on a stick.
Never again am I letting anyone control me like that.
Later you and I have to have a private talk." she said
smiling at her. She nodded looking down "alright ranma,
what do you want for dinner?"


Ranma walked out of the bathroom rubbing down her hair
with a huge grin on her face "why are you so happy?"
nibiki asked from the den. Ranma smiled at her "I
realize, I love hot baths, it should be illegal for
women to have so much fun just taking a bath. Does it
feel that good for all women?" she asked shaking her
hair out and started brushing it out. Nibiki blinked at
her "I never knew you had so much hair." she murmured
admiringly. Ranma chuckled "its my first real win over
pop. He used to cut my hair so short I got sun burns on
my head. Last time he went to cut it I flatly refused.
And after I fought him for nine hours over it he conseded
to let me do what I wish with it." she chuckled laying
back on the couch with a sigh. She looked at the
ceiling "can I say sorry nibiki?" she asked softly.
Nibiki blinked at her "for what?" she asked getting up
to sit next to her. Ranma looked at her "for being an
asshole. I was a jerk and didn't care about anything but
what pop wanted. At least I tried to do better, but when
you don't have anything to work with, or anyone to help
out, its really hard. Everyone expected me to learn
something with nothing in the way of learning materials
or even a clue about what they wanted, it was unfair when
you desided to punish me for it when I didn't even know
what I had done."

Nibiki squeezed her hand "it wasn't that bad ranma." she
said weakly. Ranma looked at her "tell that to the freak
growing inside me, probably be a weakling like its
father." she spat in disgust "if I thought it would work
I'd cut it out of me again. But yet again fate gets a
snicker at me. I can't loose the baby, the magic of my
curse prevents it." she said curling up on the couch and
giving nibiki an intimate view of her very real womanhood
"ranma, can you go put on some underwear?" she asked
plantively. Ranma sat up quickly and blushed "sorry,
forgot that I'm home. They... didn't allow you to bring
such things to the showers with you, all you could take
was a robe, you had to go back to your room for clothes."
Nibiki blinked after her for a minute then looked at
akane who had seen the whole thing "was it really a good
thing to send him there?"

Ranma layed down on his bed and inhaled the smell, it
smelled of akane. Nothing smelled like him there, not
even his clothes. She layed down and wept silently as
she clutched at her pillow "ranma?" akane asked coming in
the room after waiting a half hour for her to come down.
Ranma didn't turn to look at her but she saw the way her
shoulders were shaking. Ranma inhaled slightly as she
pulled the pillow tighter to her "I don't exist anymore
akane." she sobbed. Akane sat down on the bed with her
and rubbed her back soothingly "what do you mean ranma?
Your right here." she whispered softly. Ranma looked at
her "no I'm not, this isn't me, its like I didn't exist
until today. Its like this room was never mine. Sure
the clothes are mine and the bed is mine, but it doesn't
smell like it. This room smells like you, its your room,
nothing in it smells like me, its like I just stopped
existing when I went away. None of this is mine
anymore. Its like I'm dead and everyones gone on
without me."

Akane hugged her tight "thats not true ranma... you've
just been away for a while." she cried holding her.
Ranma shook her head "even my travel pack smells like
you, I carried that damned thing for ten years, and I
can't find myself in anything. Nothing here is me,
nothing, everything that was me is dead." she cried
loudly. Akane held her close as she cried herself to
sleep before letting her go and turned the light off as
she shut the door. She looked up and blinked seeing
kisumi and nibiki in the hall. They looked as depressed
as she felt "ranmas not coming down to dinner." she
whispered before hugging kisumi as tears fell "oh kisumi,
how could I have done that to him?"


Ranma woke up after a while hearing akane moaning
softly. She blinked rolling over to look at her, and
gasped in surprise seeing her face as she cried out in
orgasm. Ranma watched her wide eyed as she bucked into
the toy she was using and didn't realize she was holding
her breath until akane had finished and settled down.
Ranma reached out hesitantly and touched her sweating
face, looking in wonder at the pleasure glazing her
eyes as she blinked at her "ranma... I- I'm sorry, I...
I couldn't help it." she said embarressed. Ranma put a
finger over her lips "can... can you do that to me?
Show me how?" she asked softly.

Akane pulled away "but your a girl!" she protested and
regretted it imediately. Ranma pulled away looking
deeply hurt "alright, if thats how you feel about it....
I- I'm going to get something to eat." she said hurrying
out of the room. Akane layed back and covered her face
"stupid akane!" she groaned before getting up and got
dressed as quickly as she could.

Ranma ran past ryoga and jumped to the roof sobbing.
Ryoga blinked after her for a minute before following.
Ranma looked up from where she had layed down and looked
at him for a second before looking away crying harder.
"Hey, whats wrong?" he asked touching her back. Ranma
crawled into his lap and cried even harder on him "akane
doesn't love me. I woke up and she was having sex with
herself, all I wanted to know was what she had done, how
it was done and she looked at me like I was being sick
and pulled away. I just wanted to know if I could do
that to her.... she said she never had fun before and
that I never pleased her... then she goes and pushed me
away when I asked how, like I don't deserve to know. I
wish I was dead!" she balled softly.

Ryoga blanched as he held her, noticing akane standing in
front of them. "We're not doing anything akane!" he
yelped dumping ranma. Ranma looked up at them like a
kicked puppy before standing up and closing her robe
against her nudity "I wasn't good enough for you then....
and you don't want me now..... you should just get
together with ryoga and let me die!" she screamed pushing
the two together before taking off across the roof tops
as fast as she could scramble away. Akane pushed ryoga
off and did her best to try to follow her, but ranma
really was her better and quickly lost her. Ryoga
landed next to her and pulled her to her feet "any idea
where shes going?" he asked. She nodded "she doesn't
know it yet, but shes heading for her mothers."


Ranma stopped and sank to the ground as her sadness made
her legs fail her and she cried wearily as she sat on
the side walk. "Ranma!!" a voice exclaimed from beside
her. Ranma looked up hearing glass break and blinked a
few times at her mother "mom... I'm so alone.... no one
wants me, no one ever wanted me.... its like I'm dead
and i'm the only one that doesn't know it. I don't know
where I belong anymore, everyone at the dojo is mad at me
and akanes more interested in having sex with her toys
then doing anything with me. The only friend I had was
more interested in looking good for my wife then
listening to me.... the two should just fuck each other
and get it over with, let me die.... I'm worthless to
everyone now and none of them care enough to want to
help me, I'm lost... I'm so lost and no ones willing to
help me...."

Nodoka blinked shocked seeing her child in the street
like this, even more shocked to hear what she said "why
couldn't they just let me die?" ranma sobbed laying flat
on the ground and showed nodoka that she was naked under
the robe. "Ranma, come on lets get inside." she said
helping her up. Ranma clung to her desperately as she
cried on her shoulder "they killed me and don't even have
the decency to bury me." she whimpered despairingly.
Nodoka struggled in her grip to get her to the house
"ranma.... please help me a little?" she said as one of
the bags she carried hit the ground. Ranma looked down
and quickly gathered up the stuff and went back for the
other things she had dropped before coming back to stand
next to her "sorry mom." she whispered following her into
the house. Nodoka sighed as they set the things on the
counter and started unpacking them together. "Do you
want to talk calmly ranma?" she asked after a minute.
Ranma sniffed "I shouldn't have come home. I should have
just let that damned doctor drug me to death." she said
finally.

Nodoka blinked at her "what?" she exclaimed. Ranma wiped
her eyes. "I found out the other day, that I'm still
pregnant. Somehow the damage I- I did to myself healed
completely, like I had never done it in the first place.
Tofu agreed to help me abort the child, and that bastard
oshu had some of the orderlies attack me so he would
have a reason to put me in solitary confinement. He
drugged me into a stupor and kept me that way for the
four days it took akane to find ryoga and get me out.
We found out that oshu was gosankugis uncle, they were
planning on keeping me that way until I gave birth to
the baby so they could take it from me."

After ranma finished nodoka stood there for a minute
looking at the living room "that... BASTARD!!!" she
roared. Ranma jumped slightly "mom?" she asked. She
looked at her "are you still pregnant? Did tofu help?"
she asked. Ranma nodded sadly " my curse is protecting
the baby from all types of harm, to get rid of the baby
I'd have to kill my curse... and that would strand me in
this form, no way to get my real body back." she said
leaning on the counter. Nodoka hugged her "thats
terrible honey. You have to give birth to that shits
kid?!" she asked outraged. Ranma nodded "ya, and when
we went over there to tell hikaru hes not going to have
anything to do with the baby, he was visiting with a
lawyer. They were going to have me declaired mentally
unfit to take care of a child so I wouldn't be able to
get out of the hospital, and knowing them they would
never allow me to see anyone. Hikaru was doing this from
the start, he didn't know I was out. Oshu told them I
was still pregnant and they had him keep me out of
comition until they could get what they were doing
legal."

Nodoka held her tightly, more to comfort herself then
ranma, but she didn't care, too happy having someone
willing to hold her was enough. Nodoka cursed softly to
herself as the doorbell rang and let go of her daugher,
she is both now after all, and walked to the door.
"Hello?" she asked opening the door and yelped moving
back as it was knocked open by six men carrying guns.
"Stand aside maam, we're here to aprehend an escaped
mental patient that broke out of the hospital two hours
ago." The leader of the black clad men stated as they
rushed into the room and searched. Nodoka looked about
afraid before blinking at not seeing ranma "no! How dare
you break into my home like this?!?!" she screamed at
them before marching to the phone and started calling
the police "we have every right maam, the patients
husband asked us to find her and return her to the
hospital." the man said hanging up her phone "then you
obviously have the wrong house since the only person here
is me and my husband is a lout who wouldn't dare do
that!!" she yelled right in his face.

One of them called out holding up a dirty robe "I think
the girl might have been here boss!" he called looking at
the red hairs still on the robe "what the hell are you
talking about?! That belongs to my son and he is not
married to any husband!" nodoka yelled angrily as she
tried to dial the police again. The man glared angrily
before backhanding nodoka across the room "I said don't
interfere!!" he yelled then looked up as a snarl came
to him and a foot was planted in his face. 

Ranma quickly beat two more of them unconscious before
snatching up a fourth as a shield against the last two
"drop your fucking guns or this ones dead!!" she roared
at them holding the mans gun to his head. "Drop it
yourself loony! We are here to aprehend you!" one of them
shouted. Ranma cocked the gun grimly before blinking as
the two man were picked up by their necks and smashed
together. Ranma looked in shock at ryoga as he dropped
the two men and walked over quickly "let me have him."
he said and ranma nodded letting him go to run over to
her mother who was just getting up. Ranma gently daubbed
the blood from her face as she shook with anger "ranma..
Please... I'm ok, can you put something on?" she asked
smiling weakly. Ranma looked down and blushed as red as
her hair before disappearing into the bathroom only to
come back out in a too large robe with a damp rag in her
hand. Nodoka laughed softly at her as she went back to
cleaning her face off "I sware the man is dead." ranma
snarled looking at the bruising caused by the metal rod
in the mans sap glove.

Ranma let her go and had to be caught up by akane as she
ran at the just awakening man "no ranma! We've called
the police, let them take care of them." she said into
her ear. Ranma sighed settling down "don't think this
is the end of this scum, you will pay dearly for hitting
my mother." she snarled so viciously even ryoga moved
back slightly "what did you mean husband? I'm not
married to any man!" she said growling at him. He
smirked "you think not? The sex might not have been
what either of you wanted but it was enough. By the time
that baby's ready to come out your going to be begging
him to marry you." he smirked. Ranma snatched him up
when akane let go of her and beat him repeatedly into the
wall hard enough to put a hole in the brick. She
dropped the half dead man and looked at the rest of them
"whos going to tell me what I want to know? And whos
going to join him in a world of hurt?"


Ranma watched the cops cart off the six unconscious men on
stretchers as the head detective investigating the case
talked to the others "so miss saotome, want to tell me
your side of this story?" he asked walking over to her.
Ranma looked at the others biting her lip. "I uh, the
one wearing sap gloves forced his way into the house and
punched my mother, the others followed.... I kind of got
carried away in my anger." she said looking embarressed.
He nodded "the others said you trashed the whole group
after they hit your mom, rather strong young woman." he
said smiling. Ranma blushed "I am when I get angry. I
came out of the hall and saw him hit mom, I just saw red
when he sneered at her... oh!" she said angry. He nodded
"you did a good job, although, next time you might want
to hold off on breaking their bones." he said wincing.
Ranma looked down embarressed and he patted her shoulder
chuckling.

Ranma sighed as they left and sat down on the couch
closing her eyes "what the hell did you get me into
akane." she groaned. Akane glared at her "its not my
fault!" she yelled then plopped down next to her with a
sigh "what are we going to do? I don't want you looking
like hikaru!" she cried softly. ranma snorted "thats not
going to happen." she said reaching for the phone started
dialing "who are you calling?" she asked. Ranma
motioned them to be silent before smirking then looked
afraid and sobbed in a fearful voice "let me speak to
tatiwaki, hurry please!"

Ranma chuckled as she hung up the phone and crossed her
arms grinning grimly "what are you going to tell them
ranma?" akane asked looking wide eyed "easy, kuno will
be outraged by the rape and once I tell him about the
rest of it he'll be all for hunting down the entire
gosankugi family. I asked him to bring kodachi because
I'm going to tell her about the way her dear ranma-sama
was killed trying to safe my virtue. Which is true
really, ranma saotome that was had been pronounced dead
the very minute hikaru took my virginity." she said
looking disgusted at that. Nodoka shook her head "I
don't know ranma, it just doesn't seem right to trick
the poor guy into murder." she murmured. All three of
them blinked at her "are you serious mom? You have
never met the kunos of course, or you wouldn't say that.
Both of them were nut jobs before we got married, they
lost what ever there was when we did. Besides, I'm not
lying to them, everything I'm going to tell them is
true, hikaru did rape me, ranma that was is dead. So
its not lying."

ranma looked up as a car came to a skreeching halt out
front and nodded to the others as a loud knocking came
to the door "hark! I have come for my frightened
love!!" kuno yelled valiantly. All of them rolled their
eyes a that as nodoka let the two people in "c- can I
help you?" she asked. Kuno blinked at her "where is my
pig tailed goddess sometimes known as ranko saotome?!"
he demanded. Nodoka blinked at him "where is my beloved
ranma-sama!?" kodachi demanded at the same time.
Nodoka teared up and moved away from the door "c- come
in. I'm ranma... And and rankos mother. You haven't
heard about whats happened of course." she said
frowning at ranma when she turned from them, annoyed for
some reason by the terribly unsure and scared of the
world look on her face. Both kunos gasped seeing the
way ranma looked as she hid behind akane "will you help
us kuno?" she asked in a quivering voice "who did this
to you?!?!?" kuno snarled. Kodachi nodded smirking "I
must thank him." she murmured but went quiet when kuno
glared at her. Ranma gulped "earlier today we were
attacked by a group of men who intended on locking me in
a small room until...." she gulped again "it started a
month ago... I- ranma and I were sparring in the
park... w- when... I woke up tied down to a table
naked... gosankugi raped me kuno. He- he got me
pregnant." she cried. Careful to keep akane between
them. He paled at that and almost decked kodachi when
she started laughing "laugh kodachi, ranma was killed
trying to stop them from taking ranko." akane hissed at
her. Kodachi stopped paling almost as much as kuno had
"saotome died protecting you?!"

Ranma nodded "they used foul magic to murder him after he
bested them physically. They showed me his body." she
cried laying her head on akanes shoulder and nodoka saw
her fight hard to keep from laughing and looked angry
"gosankugi... he used magic to get me pregnant then
stopped me from killing myself by having me put into a
mental hospital.... akane.. And ryoga saved me, gave me
the time to kick the drugs they had been using to keep me
calm. They tricked the police into thinking I married
hikaru! They tried to take me back... but we ran. We
came to my mother for help... and they hurt her!" she
said pointing to the purple bruises on nodokas face.
Both kuno siblings looked at them closely "that was done
by a sap glove." kodachi murmured thoughtfully. Ranma
nodded "ryoga saved us... they said that they put a spell
on me... that would steal away my power.... and give it
to hikaru! And.. And it would make me willingly marry
him!" she said not needing to fake the sick look on her
face "its how they get wives... they choose a girl and
force them to have sex... with the guy, once he gets her
pregnant she has no choice but to marry him.... the spell
changes your mind until you really love the little
freak!" she said looking really sick.

Kuno looked stunned "that vile worlock will die for
this!!" he declaired after a minute then looked hopeful
"can you be rid of the vile sorserers child?" he asked.
Ranma shook her head "I tried, I cut my stomach open the
first chance I could get, hoping to die with ranma... but
it didn't work. The doctors saved me.... and... the
child was dead, they said it was dead! But.... a few
days ago they took some tests and found it still in me!
His evil magic kept the baby alive! I can't get rid of
it, I tried again and again.. But nothing worked, sooner
or later hes going to catch me..... All I want to do is
get rid of this baby.... a- and get away from here. The
idea of being with any man scares me so much now..." she
sobbed then jumped behind nodoka when he moved towards
her "st- stay away!" she yelled afraid. He gripped his
fists "what is it you wish me to do?!" he hissed. Ranma
looked at him "I ask...you... to let me go.... and and
help me escape from hikarus evil family! If you'd ever
seen them you would see the evil! I pity his mother,
like a zombie in all that evil." she said looking away.
He stood straiter "I... I will do as you ask. I will
strive to end this foul plague on women!" he said before
charging out the door. Ranma looked at kodachi as she
looked after him "he's going to need your help kodachi,
so they won't kill him the way they did my brother." she
whispered softly. Kodachi looked at the girl before her,
no longer the haughty daring doer she had known not a few
weeks earlier. She nodded "I will do what I can." she
said leaving the house. Ryoga shut the door and ranma
sighed "I feel sick."


Ranma blushed slightly as akane kissed her lovingly after
shutting the door "you are one of the most coniving women
I've ever met ranma, as well the most stubborn bitch I
know." she said pulling her robe open and backed her to
the bed "you startled me, that doesn't mean I don't
want to do that with you, it just means you surprised
me." she grinned taking her hand "now reach into my pants
and tell me what you find." she said licking her ear.
Ranma inhaled shakily as she untied her pants and
blinked in surprise feeling something hard covered in
something slippery between her legs. Ranma took hold
of it and blinked at her when her moving it caused akane
to yelp in pleasure. Ranma smiled stripping her pants
off and looked closely at her as she moved it akane
gasped holding onto her shoulders "ranma... look...
closely. You'll find..... a small round thing. At the
top. Rub it!" she yelped. Ranma nodded searching around
the top of her slit and grinned finding it then gapped at
akanes reaction to her pinching it slightly "OH GOD!!!"

Ranma quickly caught her and layed her out on the bed.
After thinking about it she pulled the toy out of her and
looked at it. Not being able to resist ranma licked it.
She grinned liking the taste and happily cleaned it off
before setting it aside. Ranma looked at the unconscious
look on akanes face and grinned after a minute as she
found it easy to shift her about enough to open her legs.
Ranma looked at her face for a minute before lowering her
head to her sex and lapped gently at the fluid she found
dripping from her. Ranma looked up as akane moaned and
licked her chin clean as they stared at each other
"don't stop." she whimpered. Ranma grinned happily diving
back in with more enthusiasm and started feeling
confident for the first time in weeks when akane got
louder the deeper she went.

Ranma cried out in surprised pleasure as a warm wet
feeling came to her sex, sending lightning through her
body. Ranma shuttered in pleasure as she started
chewing on her clit and she pumped her fingers into her
and grinned feeling great as she bucked into her hand
orgasming hard. Ranma sat up and grinned at the mess she
had made of the sheets before yelping in shock as
something was pushed into her. Ranma moved away from
akane and pulled the dildo half way out before the
pleasure overrode her fear and she let it go. Ranma
looked at akane afraid as she pulled her up the bed and
bent her over "it doesn't hurt ranma, you'll like it."
she said asuringly. Ranma bent the rest of the way but
wouldn't let go of her as she sat beside her. Akane
stroked her clit softly for a minute, letting the fearful
shaking ease before taking ahold of the dildo and pushed
it back in slowly. Ranma gasped burying her face in her
breasts. Akane smiled as she started moving with the toy
as her pleasure grew and her voice got more shrill.
Ranma reared up pushing back hard on akanes hand as she
came hard, so hard she passed out from the pleasure.
Akane chuckled as she straitened ranma out on the bed
and layed across her chest. She fell asleep almost right
away.


Ranma woke up to two things, one, the sun was shining in
her face. Two, something that felt very good was moving
inside her. Ranma sat up crying out in pleasure as she
bucked her hips into the hand moving the large piece of
plastic still in her before she screamed in orgasm
colapsing back to the bed. She looked up panting as the
thing was pulled out of her to see nodoka sitting at the
foot of the bed smiling at her "hello dear, I see you
brought something to play with." she said handing it to
a blushing akane. Ranma blushed "ah, akane... didn't get a
chance to uh take it out of herself before chasing after
me." she murmured softly. She chuckled "I figured that
since you didn't have it on you when you arrived here.
Get dressed, hibiki-san has had a perminent blush on his
face since he woke up and isn't very good at following
orders with you moaning like that." she chuckled. Ranma
blinked at her "moaning?" she asked wonderingly. Akane
chuckled kissing her "yes, you were humping the bed all
night." she said mimicking some of the sounds she heard
last night "remind me not to leave them in you from now
on."

When ranma saw ryoga wearing a matching blush on his face
looking more focused by only a small degree. Ranma
looked at him for a minute before nodding in
understanding as she sat next to her mother after she
served breakfast "so what are your plans today ranma?"
nodoka asked cheerfully. Ranma shrugged "don't know,
might go to school, but maybe not." she said grimacing.
Akane poked her "got to go back some time." she murmured.
Ranma looked down "and say what? 'oh the reason I'm stuck
like this is because gosankugi got me pregnant with his
child after raping me teacher.' ya, thats what I'll say."
she said sarcastically. Nodoka smiled "then you know
what to do, thats good!" she said happily. Ranma
facefaulted into her bowl "but I don't have any clothes
here!"


Ranma looked at herself in the mirror grinning at the loose
fitting black slakes and blouse she was wearing "hey I
like! This would be totally unsuitable if I could
change back, but really nice." she said kissing her moms
cheek lovingly. She smiled at her "believe it or not,
this is what I wore to school. I didn't believe in
normal school uniforms either." she said smiling at her.
Ranma grinned back "then you understand why I don't wear
them?" she asked pleased. She nodded "most dreadful
style and everyone was wearing the same thing!" she said
in mock horror. Ranma laughed with her "thanks mom."

Ranma smiled as they reached nibiki at the school gates
and grinned "what do you think? Mom gave them to me."
she said showing herself off. She nodded "very nice,
did you hear what happened?" she asked. Ranma shook her
head smiling at her. She looked from her to akane and
smiled aprovingly "its about time you two pleased each
other then just yourselves." she chuckled. Ranma blushed
looking down "anyways, rumor has it the kuno twins went
on a rampage last night. Seems they took a full
contengent of ninja and assaulted gosankugis place. Your
not going to like this ranma, the police report I got to
look at said all of them were killed by someone very
strong, broke their necks in seconds." she said grimly.
Ranma looked wide eyed at her "gosankugi ki- killed
kuno?" she breathed in shock then gasped grabbing her
head as pain lanced through it and she stumbled out into
the main yard before stopping and standing strait. "Well
well well, If it isn't my little bride." a voice said
quietly from the gate. Eveyone looked up to see hikaru.

He smirked at them as he walked foward with a bokken
everyone knew, a gymnists ribbon rapped loosely around
it, both of them covered in dried blood. He stopped in
front of ranma who was, even in her female form, still
taller then him "hello there ranma! I was kind of
disapointed with the kuno twins strength when you sent
them to die last night." Ranma didn't respond and he
smirked "they were very easy to kill, but thats not
surprising thing since it was your power I used to do
it." he chuckled cupping her breast in his hand.
Everyone gaped at that and continued to gape since ranma
didn't respond to it at all "yes, I'm going to look
forward to fucking you after we're married, just like
mom and dad." he laughed then blinked as ranma started
shaking hard "my you are strong ranma, in all my familys
past no woman has been able to break our mental control,
but your doing quite a good job of fighting it. Not that
you'll win of course, thanks to our child growing inside
you I can tap your strength and match you all the way."
he chuckled pushing his hand into her pants and started
fondling her sex. Ranma shook even harder and even made
her hands twitch towards him. He laughed at her then
looked up as a bookbag came flying at him at warp speed,
to be stopped by ranmas outstretched hand. Hikaru
pulled his hand out of ranmas pants and grinned licking
his fingers "akane, I must thank you, if it wasn't for
you I would never have captured ranma so easily. Wasn't
dad exstatic to hear that I had caught the strongest
woman in japan." he said looking at ranma and motioned
to akane "grab her! Lets teach her not to take whats
mine." he said and ranma was suddenly holding akanes
hands at her sides. "Ranma stop this!" she yelled back
at her. Ranma stared blankly ahead. Hikaru chuckled at
her "ranma couldn't fight this even if she wanted to.
See ranma is mine now, body and soul."

Akane struggled against ranmas hold and suceeded in
pulling her hands up and away from her waist and blinked
as ranma made her hold them there. Hikaru chuckled "lets
see if your breasts are as good looking as ranmas, akane-
chan." he chuckled starting to reach for her shirt in
time to be pounded back into the school by the ki blast
ranma was helping akane perform. Akane gasped feeling
drained as ranma colapsed to the ground, hikaru became
unconscious. "Akane!" nibiki yelled running over and
checked both her and ranma. "What the hell was that
sugar?" ukyo exclaimed coming over. Nibiki glared at her
"you saw it but didn't help?!" she yelled angry. She
looked at her "why should I care if ranma lets a freak
like that fondle her?" she said stonily. Ranmas eyes
opened and she rolled to her feet and stalked over to the
hole in the school building and pulled the boy out and
grabbed his shoulder and his head at the same time. She
shook hard trying to do it but couldn't make her arms
work. She snarled picking him up and threw him into the
wall again crying in rage at not being able to kill him
she stood back and charged up a huge ki blast aimed at
him but couldn't release it "god damn you!!!" she
screamed throwing it at her own feet and went flying out
of the school yard with her clothes on fire.


Akane came to a stop with the others at the crater ranma
had made on landing and gasped seeing her still on fire.
She hurried forward and gently put out the fires before
checking her "impressive, you survived your own blast."
nibiki murmured helping carry ranma out of the pit.
"Ranma, come on ranma, wake up!" akane yelled at her as
she shook her shoulders. Ranma came awake and started
crying loudly as she clung to akane. She held her close
for a few minutes "oh god I want to die...." she sobbed
in despair. Akane was crying with her "it'll be ok
ranma.." she said ranma shook her head "no it won't! I
can't kill him! I tried, oh god I tried but I couldn't
make myself do it.... what the hell am I going to do? I
can't get near him and no one else can take him now!"
she cried loudly.

Akane looked up at ukyo and showed her the hate she felt
for her "you could have helped ukyo, instead you let him
humiliate ranma in front of the school." she hissed at her.
Ranma didn't look up but did hug akane tighter for a
minute before standing up and looked at ukyo. She
stepped back from the look of hurt ranma gave her "you
let him do it... I know you've been bitter since I
married akane..... you were my... best friend. Someone
I could count on....." she stood strait before turning
about and walked firmly away. When akane and the others
got to the dojo they found ranma packed and standing in
the gate. He looked at akane "I'm not letting that
happen again. Theres only one person I know who might be
able to help." she said calmly. Akane handed her bag to
nibiki "when do we leave?" ranma smiled at her as she
produced another backpack "right now."


Ranma got out of the car and looked about suspiciously for
anything as they got out of the car at the airport and
selfcontiously ran her fingers through her dyed hair
they had desided to leave in a loose spray down her back
"we've wasted two hours on this damn hair dye! If hes
here and sees me I'm lost!" she whispered to akane and
nibiki. Nibiki smiled "we'll figure out something." she
asured her. Ranma shrugged "I still don't understand why
we're going to america." she said stubbornly. Nibiki
smiled at her "trust me."

Nibiki nodded to herself as she saw the crowd of suspicious
looking men standing at the boarding gate that said
america and distracted ranma from the sign that told of
their destanation by showing her a ticket "we're really
going to africa ranma. It would be easy to get lost
there until the kids born, feed it to the closest
crocidile and come back to skin a freak." she said
soothingly as she congradulated akane on keeping ranma
from hearing the steward from talking well about their
real destination "sounds like a good plan, I can't wait
to twist that little freaks head off.... we're taking
off?" she asked. Nibiki nodded "yep. Don't you
remember?" she asked nodding to akane. She smiled at
ranma handing her a cup "drink! When we arrive we'll
grab a vehicle and drive until we run out of gas, then
we walk."

Both of them sighed as ranma went to sleep and nibiki
raised her hand smiling "our friend here has a problem
with flying, her doctor says we should keep her asleep
for the whole trip, how long will that be?" she asked
smiling cheerfully. The woman nodded "four hours before we
reach bei jing." she said and went to get the phone when
nibiki asked "perfect. The flight to africa left right
when ours did and will arrive eight hours after we're
off, plus, they will have to wait three hours for the
next flight either way." she said congradulating herself
"did we have to trick ranma?" akane asked worried. She
smiled at her "I figured hikaru could see what ranma was
doing through that link they share, and guess who was
seen running from the boarding area to america heading
for the african window?"


Ranma woke up slowly at the feeling of being rocked back
and forth. Her eyes snapped open when she heard the
sound of a horse neying in response to seeing something.
Ranma sat up and blinked at akane sleeping on one side while
nibiki slept on the other. She heard the horse ney again
a little afraid this time and ranma noticed that they
had stopped moving. Ranma reached for the door to the
wagon when akane grabbed her hand "its better if you
don't see where we are, I'll take care of it." she said
kissing her long and deep before putting a pair of ear
plugs in ranmas ears. after waking nibiki she made him 
turn to look at the back of the cabin as they left. Ranma
layed back down sadly and looked at the play of light
over her head, not hearing the conversation going on
outside.

"Why should I help either of you akane saotome?" the old
woman asked. Akane nelt before her "because I'm begging
you. Hikaru has already used ranmas strength to kill
thirty two people and has taken complete control of her
once already. I'm afraid next time ranma won't be able
to break free of him, please, help us." she pleaded
getting on her knees before the old woman. She looked at
her for a minute then sighed "I know its useless to
demand you divorce ranma and give him to us, he would
kill himself. I won't help you akane saotome. I would
help a member of my tribe though....."

Ranma woke up crying out in pleasure as well as pain.
She looking wide eyed at cologne between her legs pushing
something large into her. She looked around and notice
that she was surrounded by women, akane and nibiki
looking worried from the side lines "when an amazon feels
the touch of a man unwelcomed, all amazons are
responsable for getting revenge." she said to the crowd.
They nodded "but this is not a normal rape sisters!" she
called finishing her job and smirking at ranma when she
slumped in relief "no, this is not normal at all. This
amazon is a man cursed by the pools of our training
grounds not but a year ago. Yes! The very male shampoo,
our best, was unable to capture! one of the strongest men
I myself have ever seen!" she declaired, sending
murmurs of shock and interest through them. She
silenced them with a look "this man was strong enough to
escape the best plans with little in the way of damage,
a man to be protected! We, shampoo and I, came back from
japan in defeat, not normal defeat either. We came
back at the news of what had happened to this man, about
how he was forced to except the full effect of his curse
in the worst possible way, not at the hands of a
understanding man or even his wife, but at the hands of a
much weaker man while he was restrained beyond the
ability to escape. And we all know what happens when a
cursed being does this. The cursed man can't help but
become pregnant with the mans child. We came back here
because we had found out what had happened and also
found out that he had taken his own life. That is what
we were told, that he had turned the knife on himself
with all the courage and strength he used to fight me to
a stand still." She paused for a moment "it should have
been no surprise that he survived it. And to compound
this indignity, his curse itself has moved to keep the
child safe! Making his choices very bleak indeed, to get
rid of the child he would have to get rid of his curse,
forever trapping himself as a woman. This is not to be
allowed. Such a man will not be trapped in this female
form, so he has swallowed his pride and dignaty to wait
for the child to come out naturally." she looked aproving
"so strong is he that he would stand such humiliation to
regain his manhood. A nobel soul indeed."

She sighed sadly "but that is not to be the end of it.
For the man that did this to him is not just a normal
man. His clan carries foul magic that can entrap even
the best warriors and enslave them completely with the
worst possible use. These men are born weak sisters!
Not worth the dirt at our feet! These men pray on
strong women from the shadows, attacking when she isn't
looking. They violate these women using dishonorable
means, no honorable combat was had, and yet this man
forced himself on this amazon when she couldn't fight
back, and whats worse, he grows stronger by stealing the
power from her!! These men grow strong by stealing the
power and strength from the women they capture, and once
they have the evil offspring of these men they are worse
then slaves, they are no longer warriors, they can't even
be called one of the weak women we despise so much. The
man lives off this woman until she no longer has strength
for him to feed on, then looks for another. Shampoo and
I always wondered why japan had so few strong men or
women, we all know that it takes a strong woman to
produce strong men and so. Only a few such people could
we find in all japan, I can count them on one hand! Two
of those are here now, they asked for our help and have
become amazons. We have a strong female, untrained and
unused to fighting well," she said nodding to akane.
She frowned at her. "And we have a male that makes even
the best of our males seem weak. We have both of them now!"

She silenced the cheers "but in gaining such strength, we
gained a vile enemy of all strong women! These parasites
already have a hold on this man, and it is his own curse
that keeps him in their power, a curse he gained from
us. And they are not going to let him go! They almost
stopped him from reaching us here. That is why we
moved, because they can find us only if this man
recognizes his surroundings. So we have to keep him
unaware of where he is until we can find a way to break
their hold on him. Because he will become our enemy if
they get ahold of him again, a prisoner in his own body,
he would kill even his most beloved wife if comanded to."
she said to the livid crowd. Ranma looked at her "then
you understand my pain." she whispered. Cologne nodded
"it was never my goal to harm you ranma. I just wanted
you for our tribe. And now that you are, we can begin
to do things you would be shocked at. Because you hold a
honored position with this tribe, the strongest man and
woman! None here can match your power but I. Even if
its just as an initiate I want you in our tribe."

Ranma nodded "alright.... but you got to know.... the
only reason you could beat me.... was because I didn't
dare use some of the attacks pop made me learn. On my
honor I vowed never to use them, because there is no
disable with such things, they are killers, pure and
simple. I could kill everyone with in forty feet of me
in seconds if I did. It is my honor that kept you alive
cologne. Hikaru has the power to tap into all my
powers, he does not have my honor. He used one of these
attacks to destroy the kuno family in seconds. Killed
all thirty two of them before they could even draw
weapons." she whispered to her with dread in her voice.
Cologne looked at her for a minute and ranma sighed
"remember that ultimate attack herb couldn't master
enough to kill us last time we fought?" she asked softly.
Cologne nodded slowly "I mastered it in three weeks.
Pop stole the musk dynasty's most treasured scrolls while
we were keeping them busy. He forced me to learn five of
their worst attacks before I took them from him. I
brought them with me. I was going to use them as payment
for your help, I destroyed the worst of them, no one
should have that kind of power, sadly they were also the
ones pop made me learn, but I have forty scrolls with
attacks that can put the amazons back in power, if they
can master them."

She nodded "this thing I put in you is used to kill the
unborn child that is unwanted but leaves the woman still
able to bare children. It should take the curse another
month to restore the child to life, thats one month for
us to work in, maybe you will be ready then to face him."
she said challengingly. Ranma smirked at her "can you
take it out? It hurts." she said through clinched teeth.
Cologne chuckled at her "in five hours."


Ranma stopped and looked at the girls around her, all of
them exhausted and barely standing "alright, thats enough
for today, you've done well. All of you have improved a
lot in the past few weeks, you should be proud. Even the
slowest of you is stronger now then shampoo was last
month. Take what you can from that." she said smiling
at the pleasure written on all the faces around her. She
sighed walking over to the closest tree and sat down
carefully, wincing at the pain she was feeling. Akane
sat next to her worried, she was handling all this better
then ranma was at this point "how are you doing?" she
asked softly.

Ranma opened her eyes and smiled "not that great. A
normal work out hurts a lot. I find the pain is
comforting though, if I'm hurting, then so is this
thing." she said looking at her swollen belly. Akane
nodded, they had moved again to another region of china
ranma didn't know and she was starting to get annoyed at
not being able to exsplore. "Thats to be exspected of a
woman seven months pregnant ranma." cologne said hopping
over to them, ranma smiled her thanks of the drink she
gave her "this is a nice place grand mother, wish I knew
where it is. Then I could at least come back to it one
day." she said grousing for no reason. Ranma sighed "is
this the way its always going to be?" she whispered.
Cologne patted her hand.

They looked up as nibiki snapped a picture of the three
of them "our intrepid leaders." she chuckled in
explanation. Ranma stuck her tongue out at her "oh
thats good, I'm sending these to your mother." she said
aproving. Ranma nodded pulling akane close and kissed
her soundly as nibiki abligingly snapped a few pictures
"you know the only thing I kind of wish I had" ranma started
after they settled down "is a man. No, I'm not saying I
want that freak to find us. I'm just saying I wouldn't
mind rolling in the hay with someone like ryoga. Very
well built, very cute, and an ass that make you want to
howl at the moon. I mean its nice with all the toys, my
god the toys you amazons have!" she said in amazment
before shrugging "I wouldn't mind the real thing. I
know we didn't have much fun when I was a guy akane, but
don't you miss it at all?" she asked softly. She smiled
nodding "yes, although I never came, it was a lot more
stimulating then those plastic things, or the wood ones
these girls use, although they have a more active
imagination when it comes to making them. But yes, I miss
having my horse." she said grinning at ranma. She
blinked "come on, I wasn't all that big." she said
embarressed. Akane grinned "you know the general?" she
asked. All of them nodded knowing the one given as a
reward sometimes. Ranma nodded "how can i forget it?"
she chuckled winking at nibiki. She rolled her eyes
remembering her encounter with it.

Akane held her hands apart measuring the stone phallus
"add about two inches in length and a half inch in width."
she said grinning huge. Ranma gapped at her "no way! I
would remember if it was that big!" she protested. Akane
poked her "I told you it hurt the first time, and I was
ready for it too." she said cackling at the horror on
ranmas face "no wonder you held off for a week. God I
was such a fool!" she groaned laying her head in akanes
lap "I think I'm going to hold onto my disbelief on that
one until I can prove it for myself." she murmured
closing her eyes falling asleep instantly "there she
goes again." nibiki chuckled. Akane nodded brushing at
the hair that had escaped the loose pony tail
ranma had started wearing, a way to honor the girls she
was training. "Akane, I think its time we spoke."
cologne said after a few minutes of watching ranma sleep.
Akane blinked at her as she pulled a bottle out of her
clothes "I was saving this, for ranma. As a way, just
in case, to restore his manhood if he had to kill his curse
before the baby was born." she said and showed her the
label on it "nanichuan?!" akane exclaimed softly.
Cologne nodded "but I now see that ranma would not want
to deal with the new changes this would do to him. He
likes what hes become and frankly, I think hes happy for
once in his life."

She held it out ot her "do you love him enough to join
him where he is? I can name right away forty girls that
would easily be able to say yes, your sister included."
she said nodding to nibiki. She blushed looking down
from akanes surprised exspression "don't be so shocked
akane, can't I love my brother in law? I mean he even
got ME to start training in martial arts! He has so much
vitality.... you'd have to be dead not to fall for him.
Not that I'm going to try something, hes yours, no
mistake." she said then grinned "unless you don't mind
sharing. But no, I think shes right, ranma has two view
points to work off of and this makes him a very special
person. You'll never really understand what hes going
through unless your with him. Plus, he has a need akane,
hes a man and a woman. You satisfy his need for a woman
and in a small way his need for a man, but he isn't
getting all of what he needs, you heard him, he wants a
man that he can curl up with and feel like he can let
down his guard. Believe it or not, but even the
strongest woman needs to feel a mans strong arms around
her every now and then. Ranma doesn't know it but thats
what it is. He needs the comfort that as a whole man he
could give himself. Now, he needs it from an outside
source, hense the craving she has for ryoga."

Cologne smiled "do you really want to share him with a
man? Believe it or not, but thats what will happen, his
need will outgrow his loyalty to you and one day you
will find that a third member has joined your bed. It
has happened. Men that are cursed like him will go after
another man soon enough if he doesn't get that from his
mate. We encourage both partners become cursed so the
one cursed doesn't have to suffer from a need she feels.
Why do you think no men came with us? All for ranma.
If it wasn't for that the married ones would have brought
their mates to prepare dinners. all of us know what she
is going through, and simpathize, I was holding off on
giving this to you until I thought you were strong enough
to be excepted by ranma as someone strong enough to
protect her. You've gotten better then ranma himself was
before all of this started." she said matter of factly.
Akane beamed with pride "you think I could learn the
dragon rising?" she asked hopeful.

Cologne nodded "and the breaking point, your both
amazons, you can learn what we have to teach." she
agreed. Akane grinned with pride "then I'll take it! I
can't wait to see the look on ranmas face next time we go
swimming."


Ranma sat up from her favorate spot to think, in this
area, as the sound of a tree hitting the ground came to her.
She got up and blinked at the forest in surprise seeing
two figures walk out of the forest, followed by two
others that obviously hadn't handled the trip as well.
Ranma watched in amusment as her students surrounded the
four and even knocked back the larger one when he tried
to go past. Ranma smirked as nibiki snapped a few
pictures of them before entering the group of
ringing warriors and looked closely at them. Ranma
blinked as akane joined her after a minute and had all
but one of the group held near the campfires. Ranma sat
down and waited patiently as akane and nibiki escorted
the person, with shampoo and cologne joining them in the
walk up the hill to her. Ranma crossed her arms over her
knees and waited for the group to reach her. "Ranma, your
not going to believe who led who to us." nibiki chuckled.
Ranma looked up in surprise as the figure pulled her
cloak open to reveal nodoka. "Mom! How did you find
us?" she asked wishing she was more covered up then the
hand made bra and britches all the girls wore. Nodoka
looked at her for a minute "your almost due?" she asked
sitting next to her.

Ranma nodded looking down "ya, I think I'm the first
woman to ever train harder then a man while eight months
pregnant and not lose the child. But it was fun, a lot
more fun then I thought I could have." Nodoka nodded
looking at her very well muscled daughter "you've gotten
stronger since I last saw you." she said aproving. Ranma
chuckled "didn't sit around doing nothing for a month
either. We've trained every day since I've been gone.
Akane here is close to being able to kicking my butt."
she said hugging akane with pride and love shining off
her as she hugged the man next to her "did you say
akane?! B- but this is a man!" she protested. Ranma
nodded "akane let herself be cursed, just for me." she
said kissing the man with evident pleasure "its really
annoying to wait for hot water to boil so I stay this
way. I'm finding that I have a lot of egg on my face, I
didn't know that some of the things I blamed ranma for
was just the nature of being a man. They really can't
help being that dense." he said chuckling. 

Ranma pushed him over "so how did you find us mom? We
were trying to keep from being found." she said looking a
little worried. Nodoka smiled at her "ryoga came to us a
month and a half ago telling us he had seen signs of you.
He saw scorch marks matching that of one of those energy
attacks you do." she said. Ranma blinked "mom those
attacks were developed by these people, cologne taught
them to me." she pointed out nodding to cologne. Nodoka
nodded "thats what your father said. He said 'that is no
way to find ranma, if he were in china we would have
found out about it.' he seemed to think you would never
have gone to china after what had happened to you with...
cologne is it?" she asked shaking the old womans hand.

Ranma chuckled "let me guess, ryouga desided to go looking
for me?" she asked. Nodoka nodded rolling her eyes "we
had a hard time keeping up, or at least your fathers did.
I sware, you'd think they weren't martial artists. We
started out by going to america where nibiki said you were
headed, then we were in this place I found out later was
lebanon, where ever that is, we've been to a lot of places,
it got hairy when that huge snake was distracted from
eating us by the huge creature in the river we were
passing, the book said it was a hypopodimus. sure wasn't
no gentle creature then! Even ryoga was scared of
that angry monster."

Ranma laughed in delight "so what are you doing here?"
she asked. She shrugged "search me honey, we were in
australia, I think a few days ago, where are we anyways?"
she asked. Ranma shrugged "got me. They found out that
gosankugi could read my mind to some exstent and if I
know where I was, then so would he. No, we're waiting
for this baby to come before we let him come." she said
crushing the stone she had been playing with. Nodoka
blinked at her "so your going to face him? Even after
what he did to you at the school?" she whispered. Ranma
nodded looking down "especially for what he did at the
school. I'm going to make him pay for that." she
snarled viciously. Cologne blinked at her "you never did
tell us what he did." she said softly. Ranma looked
down snarling softly to herself. Nibiki sighed "he
basically proclaimed to the school that ranma was his
whore, in such a way that left no doubt to the truth."
she said simpathetically. 

Ranma snarled louder clinching her fists "how dare
that fuck touch me! I'm going to pull every one of his
fingers off for ever touching me!" she roared moving away
from them. Akane sighed "the freak put his fingers in
her and made sure the whole school saw him do it. He
then tried to make ranma hold me down while he played
with me." he said in disgust then grinned viciously "but
ranma found a way to stop him. She still had control of
her ki, just couldn't release it. So she directed it
into me and made me fire it at him. Wiped me out."

Ranma came back to them smiling slightly "ok, so it still
upsets me. I just can't stand remembering the way the
other students were looking at me as he did it. Like
they exspected something like that to happen, expected
me to be the freak they thought I was. Some of them
looked justified, like I had proved them right. I
wanted so much to just smash them. I could have, I could
have leveled three blocks around us.... but thats not an
option is it? I would be worse then happosai then,
nothing but a monster acting out childishly when someone
upsets me. No, I have more honor then that."

"Well I'm glad to hear that." a male voice behind them
murmured. Ranma looked about and blinked at genma and
soun, a few of the girls 'escorting' ryouga along at a
slower pace. Ranma smiled standing up "well, I guess I
should thank you for that pop." she said kissing his
cheek "if it wasn't for all the dishonorable things you
did I would never have known what was good or bad." she
added smirking at him. He sputtered and yelled 
indignantly before he was trampled to the ground by the
girls around him for daring to yell at her. "Outsider no
dare yell at amazon!!" one of them shouted down at him.
Nodoka arched an eye at ranma "they agreed to help hide
me if we became amazons. I find that I'm rather revered
here, a strong man thats also a powerful woman, they hold
that type in high regard." she said smiling gratefully at
cologne "I feel like I belong here." she murmured softly.
Cologne smiled patting her hand "I'm glad to hear it
dear, just remember that you have family other then us
out there and that you mustn't neglect them."

"Yes, come home and run the dojo." genma agreed. Ranma
snorted at him not even daining to respond to him "your
right cologne i still have to help kisumi land tofu." she
murmured resting her chin on her knees. "What?!" nibiki
and soun exclaimed. Ranma snorted at them "you can't
tell me you missed how tofu reacts around kisumi." she
said dead pan. They looked at each other "well we know
tofu is strange around kisumi..." soun started but
stopped when akane started chuckling "tofus family has
this strange afliction dad, they get so giddy around
those they love that they are hopelessly lost to
control. It normally settles down the more contact with
the person they have, at least thats what his mother
says." she said as they settled down for dinner. Ranma
took one smell of the food and waved it away looking
green "n- no thanks." she said looking at the sky to get
over the nausea she felt "are you ok dear?" nodoka asked
ranma shook her head "I think so... it just.... smells
funny to me. Probably just this kid."

Ranma sat next to akane and leaned on her as she ate,
murmuring softly in her ear. Ranma blinked as akane
slumped slightly under her and sat up as she fell back,
bumping her head on the water barrel without making a
sound "akane!" she yelped checking her head before
looking up to see everyone else slumped to the ground
"hey whats going on?!" she yelled wincing slightly as the
pain she had felt for about two hours hit her again "we
put them to sleep ranma." a voice came to her as men
started appearing arround them "I must thank you hikaru,
your woman gathered together quite a large number of
women for us." the man she knew as oshu chuckled. Ranma
serged to her feet and cried out doubling over in pain
"not a moment too soon nephew, shes just started." he
murmured walking towards her with three men. Ranma snarl
kicking one in the head before screaming in pain as her
stomach spasmed in protest "fighting back at this point
is useless dear, it'll just get your cunts killed."

Cologne looked at the group now surrounding ranma as she
settled down, beside her nibiki snarled as she too caught
his meaning, seeing the knife one of them held to nodokas
throat. "Hikarus the only threat here nibiki, look, hes
already sucking up the energy ranmas putting off. I'll
take out as many of them as I can and distract hikaru,
you see that water bucket akanes asleep next to?" she
whispered to her. She nodded "smash it! Everyone with a
curse will be awakened by the change. Good luck my
dear." she said patting her hand. Nibiki hugged her
"don't get dead. He has ranmas powers and none of his
morals!" she said worriedly before they broke apart and
headed for their targets.

Ranma screamed in pain filled rage as they bore her to
the ground and ripped her pants off "go faster hikaru!
Shes still too strong! The baby will come out dead if
she isn't weak enough!" oshu yelled at the boy. He
glared at him as the energy flowing into him made him
drunk with power "don't tell me what to do old fool.
I'm going as fast as I can. Shes got so much!" he
marveled. Oshu snorted at the boy before looking up as
those guarding the camp screamed in pain as blood shot
from holes that sprouted from their chests. They blinked
at the four dead men then at the old woman standing at
akanes head, where three more men lay dead "you are
parasites and will be wiped out!" she intoned tossing
three more stars and dropping three more of the weak
looking men. Oshu snarled "hikaru! Do something you
lazy little bastard!!" he yelled. Hikaru flaired
angrily as he threw a ball of energy at the man "thats it
you old fool! I'm not taking your shit anymore!" he
roared as he screamed in pain for a second before the ki
blast disentigrated him. Cologne flashed forward and
smacked the boy about hard before he retaliated forcing
her to draw back before he over powered her. He serged
after her quicker then she thought he could and shattered
the tree behind he "your dead useless one!"

Colognes hands flashed forward and she beat his face
before disappearing as she bolted to the side and behind.
As a panda slammed into the boy hard enough to grind him
into the ground before he tossed him aside like a play
toy "should have realized the cursed ones would come out
of it." he said then sneered launching five ki blasts at
the old woman "what can animals do?" he laughed grinning
as she was tagged by the last one and knocked about
dazed. "Plenty!" a mans voice roared as he was hit by a
brick wall wearing what was left of akanes clothes.
Hikaru glared up at the man as he jumped back then had to
scramble away as a volley of ki blasts flew at him
"nibiki... As long as ranmas awake.... akanes on equal
terms with him... knock out ranma." cologne gasped to
the girl as she helped her up. She nodded as they ran
for the screaming girl. Ranma had rolled on her side and
was clutching at her belly, well into labor. Nibiki
closed her eyes apologizing silently as she smashed her
fist into ranmas jaw, putting her out like a light "that
was a lot easier then I thought." she murmured. Cologne
nodded "shes rather weak, but still stronger then a few
months ago, help me, with her unconscious we have to
force the child out."

Hikaru looked up and yelled angrily at the two that cut
off his flow of power but couldn't do anything about it
as ryoga umbrella smashed into his knee. He screamed in
pain as ryoga himself smashed a fist into his face as a
follow up then blinked as he was practically bent in half
from the knee akane planted in his back at just the right
time. They heard a snap and the fight was over. The two
panted softly as they looked at the twitching boy "will
he live?" ryoga asked. Akane picked him up by his neck
and ryoga turned away as he heard a loud snap "no, he
won't." 


Ranma stood looking at the bon fire in the middle of the
clearing as the small rapped bundle that had been her
child was tossed into it. "The child was born dead
ranma." nibiki murmured beside her. Ranma nodded "I
know. The child is born very weak, the mother has to be
just as weak or she snaps its neck while its coming out."
she explained softly. Akane hugged her from behind
kissing her shoulder "are you ok?" he asked softly. She
patted his hands around her greatly reduced belly "not
until I lose this flab I'm not." she murmured and he
chuckled kissing her head "your not fat, are you sure
you won't miss not having the child?" he asked. She
shook her head "not his child. I would have killed it
myself if it had lived." she whispered softly. He held
her tighter as she started crying "I... I would have
liked.... to have held it... even if just for a
minute." she whimpered looking away. Akane turned her
around and held her tightly to him as she cried softly,
letting her have her grief.

"Why ranma grieve for monsters child?" hair net asked
shampoo as they watched the two. Shampoo turned around to
hit her when she saw nibiki beat her to it "it doesn't
matter who put it in her, it was hers, from her body,
hers to care for. This doesn't mean she wouldn't kill it
herself, it just means it hurts to have something that
close to you die." she hissed at her. Cologne clapped
aprovingly "very well put nibiki. She is right girls.
It doesn't matter if it was a monster, a mother can't
help but want to hold the child once it leaves her body."
she murmured softly. They nodded looking back at ranma,
pity in all their eyes before they seperated as ranma
walked down to them "is there any of that food left? I
think I need to sleep for a while."


Ranma pulled her book bag to her shoulder and walked over
to stand next to akanes desk as she grumped putting her
books away "what the hell did you do to me ranma? Class
was so boring today!" she whined. Ranma chuckled at her
"had something on your mind?" she asked. Akane glared up
at her "yes. Couldn't get my mind off our encounter in
the bathroom this morning. Why did you do that?" she
asked. Ranma smirked at her "felt right for some
reason. Don't tell me you didn't like it." she said
kissing her. Akane sighed smiling at her "of course I
did. It just surprised me, it was the first time in a
few weeks you've wanted to make love." she murmured.
Ranma rolled her eyes at the others "can you believe how
dense she is? Was I that dense? Yes. I was." she
answered herself before sitting on the desk "akane, that
baby may have been a weakling, but that doesn't mean it
didn't hurt coming out. And you said I was really
insensitive." she sighed shaking her head at the ceiling.
The girls giggled at her "ranmas right akane, your a lot
more.... guyish!" yuki said grinning at her. Akane
glared at the girls around her before jumping up "alright
cut that out! Is it my fault my thinking is so
clouded?!" she demanded. Ranma chuckled at her "no I
suppose not. I did vamp you." she chuckled then started
discribing what she had done to him. Akane blushed
fiercely but started smiling at ranmas embellishing and
corrected her on it.

"So ranma, when are you going to be able to turn back
into a guy?" diasuke asked from the other side of the
group huddled around them. Ranma smiled blushing
slightly "well... about a month or two to take the
changes giving birth did to me to fade away enough for my
curse to kick back in.... that is if tofu is wrong of
course." she said meekly.

Akane looked suspiously at her "whats that supposed to
mean?" she demanded. Ranma looked away for a minute
smiling "well.... you know how it only took about ten
minutes for me to get pregnant the last time?" she asked.
Akane nodded confused as the girls looked wide eyed is
surprise "your curse excelerates the process so it only
takes a few minutes if the conditions are right." she
agreed. Ranma looked at the girls trying not to laugh
at her "well you know how tofu was taking all those tests
last week?" she asked. She nodded.

Ranma bit her lip to keep in a giggle "he was able to map
out my cycle." she explained. After a few minutes of
sitting there ranma shook her head in exasperation, even
the guys had gotten what she was saying. Ranma turned
away miffed at how dense she was "it must not be that
important if you can't figure it out huh?" she said
sharply. Akane blinked at her even more confused by the
way the girls moved to support ranma as the guys moved
to stand behind akane "come on its not like your being
clear ranma." hiroshi said defensively.

Ranma didn't respond as hinako walked up to them "so
ranma, when are you going to be able to change back into
your normal body? Things are so boring here!" she said
rolling her eyes. Ranma looked at the door "not for at
least eleven months teach." she said primly. Akane
blinked at that in surprise as the girls nodded thought
fully "why not?" hinako asked walking right into it.
Ranma looked at her "because that jackass partner of
mine got me pregnant this morning." she said stalking out
of the room. She blinked for a minute before squealing
happily as she chased after her. Akane sat looking
dazed at the blackboard before jumping up and running to
the door "how the hell do you know that?!?! for all I
know it could be ryougas!! You were all hot for him for
a while!!" she yelled after her then ducked as a statue
ripped its way through the door where she had been "take
that back you mean, spiteful bitch!"

Ryouga looked up and wondered at where he was when he saw
akane running towards him with a typical ranma style
smirk on her face as ranma chased after her "get back
here you asshole!!" ranma yelled ripping a tree loose
and tossed it at her. She laughed back at her "come on
ranma admit it! You wanted to fuck ryouga! So why
should I believe the baby isn't his?!" she yelled back
tauntingly. Ranma stopped and looked at her with angry
tears starting to pour down her face. "Because you
jerk." she said softly before taking off across the roof
tops away from the school. Akane looked sorry "I was
only kidding ranma!!" she yelled after her and dodged the
statue ranma snatched up and tossed at her in answer
before she disappeared. Akane calmed down for a minute
and breathed deeply as everyone gathered around her
wondering what she was doing before she grabbed ryouga
shirt "did you sleep with ranma?!"

He blanched "o- of course not! Ranmas my friend but not
that good a friend!" he yelled back. Akane gripped his
shit tighter "fuck! What the hell am I going to do
then?!?! I'm going to be a father!!" she yelled in
panic before letting him go and paced back and forth
scrubbing at her hair. "Well first you fucked it up by
accusing ranma of being unfaithful to you and teased her
about it." nibiki said crossing her arms disaprovingly.
Akane nodded groaning "I couldn't think of anything else
to do..."


Ranma slammed her bedroom door hard enough to break it
loose before crawling onto the bed and started crying
hard. "Ranma? Honey, are you alright?" nodoka asked as
she and kisumi peeked in the room. Ranma shook her head
"no I'm not! I'm married to myself!" she sniffed sitting
up. Nodoka came into the room and hugged her "what
happened dear?" she asked. Ranma sniffed loudly "I...
told akane.... that I was pregnant again..." she started
before tearing up again and it took her a minute to get
the rest out "a- and she d- demanded to know if I had
slept with ryouga!" she balled laying her head down on the
bed again. "She what?!" soun exclaimed from the door
"did you?!?" genma said at the same time and was knocked
out by three girls and soun holding their shogi board.

Ranma nodded "I thought she would be happy to hear
it...." she sobbed into her mothers shirt. Soun ran a
hand down her back "how can you be sure your pregnant
dear? If I'm not mistaken you only started having sex
again this morning." he said blushing slightly. Ranma
looked up at him "tofu told me I had started my fertile
period yesterday... and that it would last four more
days. A- and because it takes so little to get me
pregnant, I could feel it starting during lunch." she
answered softly. They blinked at her "you wanted to be
pregnant?!" they chorused. Ranma nodded "I want a baby
mom, we've been married for two and a half years now...
and.... I thought she wanted one too. We talked about
having another one the whole way back to japan, how much
we wanted one of our own..... then that baka goes and
yells to the school that I must have slept with ryouga..
That asshole."

Akane slowly entered the gate and winced hearing the clang
of ranma beating the hell out of the solid steel practice
dummies they had put in the yard. She came into the
house quietly and into the living room in time to see
ranma snap the dummy off its three inch thick post. "I
take it ranmas very angry about this?" nibiki said loudly
beside her. Suddenly akane found herself the center of a
ring 'o glare. Ranma looked at her for a second before
jumping to their bedroom window and closed it. Akane
sighed "I couldn't help it! I freaked out and its like
my mouth took over." she said covering her face. Nodoka
sniffed primly "history shows that divorce has happened
for a lot less then that. if it had been me we wouldn't
have to deal with another child, I would have left a
year ago." she said stonily. Akane nodded walking up
stairs "I guess I should talk to her."

Ranma looked up as the closet door opened and glared
bitter tears at akane before slamming it closed "talk to
the door! Theres more chance of it forgiving you then
me." she said in a shaky voice "I can't believe you
akane. The whole time I was carrying his child you were
so happy thinking it was ours, I was so ashamed that it
wasn't and all I wanted was to make you happy by doing it
for real, how could you have said that? You fucking
asshole." she sobbed slapping the door. Akane sat down
on the other side of the door "I freaked ranma. I- I was
so excited and scared, my mouth ran away from me before I
could stop and think about it. Come on ranma, its not
like thats not happened to you." she said contritely
defensive. After a few minutes akane opened the door
and looked at ranma curled up on the closet floor "it
hurts akane. It hurts so much, all I wanted was to make
you happy." she whimpered up at her. Akane sniffed at her
own tears "I'm sorry ranma, I don't know why I did it."
she cried pulling her into her lap. Ranma cried on her
shoulder "you stupid jerk... I did it for you.... you
were so happy... thinking it was yours. All I wanted..."
she trailed off before breaking down in sobs again.
Akane held her tightly and let her cry herself to sleep
before putting her in the bed and trying to get to sleep
next to her.

Ranma looked up from her bath the next morning as akane
came in the room and sniffed turning away "come on
ranma.... I'm sorry." she said sitting next to her.
Ranma didn't answer, just finished scrubbing herself down
before rincing off. Akane watched her sadly as she got
into the bath with that disinterested in anything that
had to do with her look she herself must have used on him
before. Akane sighed scrubbing himself down and got up
to leave after rincing off "your just going to leave?!"
she demanded outraged. Akane looked at her confused.
Ranma glared "you really suck at being a guy akane. You
would have beat the hell out of me if I gave up that
easy. What does that say about our relationship? I have
a right to be upset at you, a reason a lot better then
most of the ones you used, and I at least had the decency
to tough it out and try to make amends. I deside to hold
onto my resentment for a very good reason and your
throwing in the towel, ya, that says 'I love you' I can't
imagine how I could have wasted so much time trying to
make up for my fuck ups." she spate then cut him off "no!
Get out! I don't want to hear it!" she yelled throwing a
stool at him. Akane stalked out into the living room
and sat down in a huff "damn it why is this so fucking
hard for me to understand?!" he growled gripping his hair
"shes right, I would have killed him if he hadn't tried
to make up for it." he said laying back in confused
annoyance. "It'll get easier with time son." soun said.
Akane sat up and looked at him "bull shit dad, can you
please tell me what a mans duties are?" he asked frowning
at him. Soun shook his head "I had to stumble through
it, so did genma, and ranma got very good at it didn't he
saotome?" he asked setting a piece on the board. Genma
nodded "with a teacher like akane how could he not tendo?"

Akane walked into the kitchen slumped and sat down
wearily "help? Please?" he pleaded with nodoka and
kisumi. They looked at each other then at the pathetic
look on his face and sighed sitting down with him "akane,
you have a perfect model to go by. Ranma showed you
everything ever thought of to try to make up for a
stupid mistake. Just think about what he would do in
the same situation." kisumi said. Akane layed her head
on the table "he wouldn't. He would never have done
that." he groaned. Nodoka chuckled "pamper her akane,
carry her books to school, be charming, do things for
her, be nice. Sooner or later she will give in and
forgive you, if not because all this worked, but to
make you stop. Be sickeningly, pathetically, apologetic
and sweet. Offer to carry her book bag to school, she'll
refuse of course, but feel like you at least are
trying. Its not in the doing, its in the offer. She'll
feel like you love her enough to want to be ingrating."
she said smiling.

Kisumi nodded grinning "and expect to be trounced many
times for almost no reason, some times she'll except the
offer and make you work like a dog for a while." she put
in for good measure. Akane was aghast "she wouldn't do
that!" he protested. They nodded "you did it to him
akane. Its a right of the slighted girl to punish the
man that did it until she feels hes paid enough and
forgives him. The man does NOT have the right to
protest it, or refuse to do anything to make up for it.
You did the deed, your going to pay for it if you want to
stay married."


Ranma walked into the school yard and went stiffly into
the school building with studied disinterest in akane
following meekly behind, plainly seen carrying both book
bags. "Boy, ranma sure is giving in easy." "Man akanes
getting off easy, shit if it had been akemi who.." "Naw
they love each other too much to stay upset for long."
Ranma was disgrunted when she got to the classroom and
looked indignant at akane "what do they want me to do?
Beat the shit out of you every five minutes?!" she
demanded taking her bag and sat down. Akane sighed a
little relieved, she would have agreed and beaten ranma
senseless.

Hinako came into the room briskly and looked at the two
of them for a minute before looking downcast "you've
changed a lot ranma." she pouted. Ranma smiled "giving
birth to a monster's monster can do that to you sensei!"
she said brightly. She nodded thoughtfully "too bad we
can't do that to a few of your class mates." she said
glaring around the room. Ranma slammed her book down on
the desk standing up "please do not belittle what I went
through, if you please ms hinako. It was not something
to joke about and I would apresiate it if you would
please not speak of it again." she said sharply. Hinako
blinked at her before narrowing her eyes "how dare you!"
she yelled pulling out her coin, to find ranma pinning
her to the desk "how dare I?! How dare you! I had to
carry that bastards child for a whole year due to the
fact that it kept growing back every time I killed it,
on top of that, I had to sit back and watch that fuck
FONDLE ME in front of the whole school and not be able
to do a god damned thing about it. Then I had to deal
with giving birth to it as hikaru held a knife to my
family's throats and watched him suck my strength away
so his bastard child could survive birth. It felt like
what you do with your coins, so I'm warning you teach,
don't ever do that to me or you will regret it for the
rest of your pain filled life."

Hinako moved back away from ranma as she let go and saw
that akane had pulled her off her, and that ranma was
crying angrily. She blinked in shock as ranma turned
into akanes arms and wept into his shoulder as he rubbed
her back "its ok ranma, I'm sure sensei understands
now." he whispered looking at hinako. She looked down
feeling ashamed "why don't you go home ranma?" he asked
softly. She wiped her eyes "your not coming with me?"
she asked softly. Akane kissed her "how can I get our
homework if I go home with you? I'll be home after
school." he murmured reasuringly. She nodded cleaning
her face before grabbing her bag and jumped out the
window. Akane sighed sadly "I'm sorry about that sensei.
Ranmas been depressed ever since it ended a few weeks
ago, I didn't help it by screwing up yesterday." he said
rolling his eyes he leaned on the desk "ranma had grown
to love that damned baby even though she fully intended
to snap its neck when it came out. She didn't get a
chance to, it was born dead. She never got to see it
either, they burned the body while she was unconscious.
I feel lucky really, I got to snap hikarus neck, ranma
would not have been so gentle. His whole family died
that day, all of them had come to reclaim ranma. We
buried them in a mass funeral bire, along with the child.
Ranma wanted.... she wanted to be the one to kill it.
It was hers, it grew inside her, she wanted to hold it a
little before she killed it. I really don't think she
could have killed it myself, but no one really knows what
ranma is capable of doing, shes hinted a few times at
having knowledge of such devistating techniques that scare
even her.... I don't really know why I'm saying this....
I just felt that.... you should be kinder about what you
say about what happened. Shes trying hard to forget it
and failing miserably."

Nodoka looked up as ranma came walking into the house and
colapsed onto the couch dejectedly "honey, what are you
doing home? You just left an hour ago." she said sitting
next to her. Ranma covered her face for a minute before
looking out into the yard "ms hinako.... said something
that upset me..... and I attacked her. I didn't hurt
her, but I attacked her. She made a crude joke about....
what happened having a few benefits and I found myself
holding her down on her desk, thinking how it would be
easy to break her neck.... akane pulled me off her." she
said closing her eyes tightly "what the hell am I doing
mom? I attacked a teacher." she added holding her head
"I feel like I'm slipping into this hole where light
doesn't exist, and all I'm hanging on by is my control
and honor.... and that they're quickly unraveling,
threatening to drop me into this place where nothing
holds me in check and I kill everyone.... I'm afraid
mom."

Nodoka pulled her down until she was laying in her lap
and looking at the ceiling as she stroked her hair
soothingly "you've just been through a very tramatic
time ranma, you need to give yourself time to regain your
balance. Everything will be alright soon, I promise."
she murmured kissing her forehead. Ranma nodded looking
at her "I love you mom." she murmured softly. Nodoka
smiled hugging her "my good little warrior, you can beat
anything ranma, don't ever forget that your a saotome,
we're made of stronger stuff then normal people, we can
get through this. Just keep fighting and you'll win
through, its nevitable that you'll suceed."


Ranma opened her eyes as she heard the gates open and
blinked seeing akane walk in with hinako skipping along
beside him. Ranma looked hesitently down at them from
her up side down position in the porch "hi... I'm sorry
about this morning sensei." she murmured softly as akane
flipped her over and into his lap in one quick precise
movement that left ranma grinning as he started brushing
out her hair "it was inexcusable." she said closing her
eyes looking down contritely, then looked up as akane
tugged on her hair a little. Hiinako looked wide eyed at
the two of them for a minute "its ok ranma, I wasn't being
understanding of your feelings by saying that." she
said brightly then grinned at them "gee you two are good.
Maybe you should take up ice skating professionally."
she murmured in awe. Ranma smiled at her demurely "we're
not that good." she murmured depricatingly.

Akane bopped her in the head with the brush "false
modisty is unbecoming." he said warningly. Hinako
clapped her hands "good! We have a small problem that
only you two can help us with, I've already signed you up
for it. Furinken and koholts high school are having a
disagreement and they desided that this would be a good
chance for a rematch between you and the golden pair. We
can't really give in see, they want our sports coaches
because they've become very good at what they do thanks
to you two. So we thought you wouldn't mind helping us
keep them!"

Ranma grumbled to herself as she read the paper she had
given them "two days, in two days we have to come up with
a routine as well as costumes and music and... are you
trying to tell me something?" she asked akane. He
grinned at her as he gently chewed on her neck, licking
and biting gently as he rubbed her thighs. She laughed
at him when he rumbled at her suggestively before sitting
back in his lap "your a horny bastard aren't you?" she
moaned closing her eyes in pleasure. He grunted
agreement as the hand not tracing her nipples wormed its
way into her pants and played across her already very
wet sex. Nibiki came into the room with two friends and
watched the two for a minute before snorting "can't you
two keep that in your bedroom?" she asked in amusement.
Ranma held up the sheet of paper "will... you help us get
READY for this!?" sbe moaned in a high pitched voice as
she squarmed in akanes lap. Nibiki chuckled at the
noises ranma was making as she read the paper "got
railroaded huh?" she asked blinking at ranma as she
skreeched "YESSS!!!"

The three of then looked after the two as ranma slumped
in his lap and he slung her over his shoulder grunting
primally and he hopped up to the second floor without
touching the stairs "ranma has to be conscious for the
fitting akane!" she yelled up after him "I make no
guarantees on that sis!"


When the two came down to dinner nibiki chuckled at the
glazed look to ranmas eyes and her unsteady look,
aided by the fact that akane was practically carrying her
down the stairs. He sat her in her spot across from
genma and nodoka, nodoka taking the spot between ranma
and genma long ago to end their fewd over food, so far
she had only hampered them. She blinked at ranma as her
head tilted to the side a little and she started leaning
on her "are you sure shes awake?" nibiki asked, trying
to keep from chuckling with her friends at the
unadulterated bliss on ranmas face then burst out
laughing as she fell backwards as she slipped off her
mother "kyoto! The shogun sent his forces through
kyoto." ranma said sitting up suddenly awake. She
blinked at them for a minute then looked at akane
questioningly. He grinned at her reasuringly as he
squeezed her hand under the table. She nodded leaning
on him to still the dizzy feeling inside her. "So what
are we doing?" she asked softly. Akane hugged her
reasuringly "having dinner love." he said. Ranma nodded
"yes, food."

Ranma sat hunched over slightly as she listened to them
planning their routine "geez, if you think about it akane
and I are two parts of a whole." she said suddenly.
They blinked at her and she grinned "I was born a man and
yet am pregnant. He was born a woman and yet is the
father of my child. I am ying to his yang and vice
versa. Together we make a complete being." she
explained before kissing akane deeply. He grinned
gently biting her tongue "you want me to be your yang?"
he asked grinning. She grinned back "yes, I think we
should let your yang meet my ying again, they seem to
have unfinished business." she said grinning at him as
she took hold of the bulge in his pants and jacked it
slightly. He growled at her softly "you are an
unforgiving wench. Can we please settle this before
stealing my soul?" he asked looking disgruntled. She
grinned evilly and they heard the sound of his zipper
going down. Genma and soun looked wide eyed at them as
akanes face screwed up in embarressed pleasure then into
horrified shock as she ducked under the table. "N- now
see here!" soun exclaimed as akane groaned rather
uncontrolably. Nodoka glared their fathers silent
"ranma, that isn't proper behavior in front of company."
she chidded. Ranma peeked out at them "neither was
making me come in front of company, fairs fair. Got to
have a balance or we won't be able to function
properly."

Nodoka blinked a few times after her daughter ducked back
under the table and akane hunched over his face going
red. "Is she really doing what I think shes doing
saotome?" soun whispered. Genma didn't respond for a
minute then sighed "they are married tendo, shes just
being a dutiful... wife." he said haltingly. Akane
choked on the water he was drinking and looked distressed
for a second. Nibiki looked under the table letting her
curiousity get the better of her. She came back up
blinking "how can she do that?!?" she exclaimed but
stopped her friends from looking "family only." she said
then looked at akane as he groaned laying his head on the
table for a minute before grabbing napkins and put them
under the table "no thank you." ranma said cheerfully
before coming out from under the table looking no
different then when she went under. She looked him in
the eye as he gripped her shoulders angrily "you.." he
stopped when she licked her lips before grimacing "do it
to me, I'll do it to you." she said threateningly before
grabbing a glass of water and drank it down "you taste
horrible."

He growled at her for a minute before shaking his head
"how did you do that? I didn't think it could go that
far." he said curious. She grinned "its all in
controling the gag reflex, and relaxing your throat
muscles. Ying is the darker side right?" she asked
nibiki. She nodded "female as well, considered to be the
source of base pleasures." she agreed. Ranma nodded
"then my costume will be black."


Ranma woke up moaning softly and layed her head against
akanes face next to hers loving the way he was laying on
top of her. She moaned again as their minute movements
shifted his hard manhood still buried inside her from
last nights love making. She rapped her legs around his
and ran her hands down his back lovingly as he slowly
pulled himself out of sleep as she kissed his face
softly. "Hey... whaz goin on?" he snorted looking at her
closely until his eyes cleared. She grinned up at him
as she panted softly "make me happy before getting up?"
she moaned arching her back. He blinked "come on ranma!
We did it four times last night!" he complained before
noticing the very pleasurable feeling surrounding him
"your the one that didn't bother removing yourself! If
you don't finish me I'm going to kill you." she said
glaring at him before kissing him passionately as his
movements caused even more pleasure to flow through her
already over sensitive body.

He pushed himself up slightly and realized that only half
his length was inside her and grinned pushing in,
chuckling at the cry of pleasure she gave him. Ranma
came three times before akane exsploded inside her and
came hardest when he did, gapping at the head board in
exstasy almost all of her body off the bed as she pressed
hard into him before colapsing back to the bed shaking
hard. Akane stayed up on his knees and stared down at her
with pleasure written all over her form. He groaned
slipping out of her and moved back on the bed and layed
down next to her feeling uplifted and ready to start the
day instead of tired the way he thought he would. "Baby
girl, this is very fun, but I need food as much as sex,
so I'm going down for breakfast." he murmured kissing her
face a few times. "Food? Yes food!" she said rolling
out of the bed, and started pulling on her clothes after
getting up off the floor and dashing after him as he
ran down stairs "hey leave me some!"

When the two got into the dinning room ranma was trying
to tackle a much larger akane, and not caring if it
didn't work. She looked up and giggled at the family as
they blinked at the two "do you know how hard it is to
bring down someone you in no way want to hurt? I'm
starting to sympathize with mousse." she said hopping
down off her chuckling love and sat down next to her
mother "so why is everyone so quiet?" she asked
cheerfully as she dug into her food. "Because we
asked them not to alert you to our presence." a voice
behind her said as she heard the sound of an air gun.
The men blinked as their occupied targets disappeared
allowing the darts fired at both to imbed in the table
top. "If that wasn't an invitation to cripple then I
don't know what is." ranma said cheerfully as she knocked
out the two behind the ones that fired and pushed them
into akanes, wait, not so gentle arms.

Ranma sat down next to akane as he pushed the two into a
sitting position at the table "spill it, how is it legal
for you to assault us in our home?" akane asked
squeezing their shoulders hard enough to make them cry
out in pain. "B- because we had permission!" one of them
yelped "ranma saotome has been.... instatutionalized by
order... of a judge! We had consent from your family!"
the other yelped with just as much pain in his voice.
Ranma started to say something when she cried out in
pain, both turned to look in shock at the dart nodoka had
stabbed ranma with. She flinched slightly from the
betrayed look on ranmas face before she colapsed
unconscious to the floor. Akane smacked the two mens
heads together and bolted out of the house and over the
wall after snatching ranma up "akane wait! She said it
herself, she needs help!" soun called. Akane stopped and
looked back at them with barely surpressed rage on his
face "the only help she needed is support from her family.
Seems thats not coming is it? Good bye!" he snarled
disapppearing from sight.


Ranma woke up ten hours later to find herself laying in a
bed in a strange room. She sat up and looked around for
a minute before walking to the door and looked out into
the hall. She sniffed the air and was instantly hungry
smelling the food in the air. Ranma quickly moved down
the stairs and blinked seeing that she was in ukyos shop
and that it was very late in the day from the absence of
customers. She looked around the serving area for a
minute before looking at ukyo behind the counter "w-
wheres akane?" she asked shakily. She looked at ranma
distantly for a second and blinked at the surpressed
despair on her face "whats your problem?" she asked
gruffly. Ranma jerked back as if she had hit her "m-
my... mom... she... she tried to send me away. I need
akane." she said curling up in the corner starting to
cry. Ukyo blinked at her "he said he would be back soon,
here, don't cry, eat." she said putting a plate on the
counter. Ranma looked at her with tears trailing down
her face "why? So you can drug me too? Why did he
bring me here? He knows you hate me, I'm surprised you
didn't turn me in yet." she sobbed pressing harder into
the corner.

Ranma looked up from her spot on the floor as akane came
in the door followed by nibiki "akane!" ranma cried
clutching at him desperately as she cried into his shirt
in despair. Akane held her to him gently as he finished
walking in the door "its alright ranma, we're not going
to let them hurt you." he whispered gently as he carried
her into the shop and sat down on one of the stools "why
is this happening to me? What god did I piss off to make
all my friends and family turn against me? My own
mother stabbed me akane!" she sobbed in pain. He held
her tight against him as he looked at nibiki standing in
front of them "I haven't turned on you ranma, I've always
been with you." nibiki murmured laying a hand on her
back. Ranma looked back and pulled her into her arms
and cried on both of them for the next half hour. 

Akane held her against him for a while after she quieted
and nodded to nibiki to try to change the subject "I've
got the costumes ready ranma." she said reaching into
the bag she had with her. Ranma looked up interested in
the bundle of black and red silk she handed her "what if
it doen't fit?" she asked. Nibiki looked at her "ranma,
you haven't changed even a little bit since before you
had that thing. It'll fit." she said before handing
akane a bundle of white and blue satin "go try then on.
I want to look at them."

When the two came back down ranma was trying to hide the
fact that akane had pulled her bottoms aside just enough
to slip two fingers inside her. She looked distressed at
them until akane let her go and she quickly straitened
her suit blushing hugely when he sucked his fingers
clean. Nibiki smiled looking at the swirled black and
red of ranmas silk suit, the ying yang sign crossing her
belly with the black and red part on top of the white
and blue bottom. Akanes was of white and blue swirl
patterns that started as a body suit but cut off mid
thigh on him where ranmas went up to her hips with little
material used to cover her, noticably sopping sex.
Akanes top covered his wide chest with the ying yang sign
reversed for it, and ending in short sleeves. Ranmas
top consisted of just enough fabric to cover her ample
chest. It was supported at the top by a collar of the
same design as the rest of the body suit, leaving her
shoulders and the tops of her breasts bare. Nibiki
handed ranma a pair of elbow gloves of pure white silk
"put these on." she chuckled handing akane what looked
like fingerless sap gloves but without the metal rods.
After they had they looked at each other "can I wear my
wedding ring on the outside of the glove?"
ranma asked looking at the way it stuck out from inside.

Nibiki grinned "yes, akanes is showing. I've got blue
skates that hug your knees for you, ranma. Akane gets red
high tops. Anyone with a brain will see what it means."
she chuckled looking at them. Ranma looked down blushing
slightly "this is great nibiki, but did you have to make
this so high?" she asked trying to hide the bright red
hair that peeked out. Akane chuckled cupping her ass
again "I think we're supposed to shave you tonight." he
said grinning. She blanched "what?!" she exclaimed then
bit her lip "you fight dirty." she moaned through
clinched teeth. Akane chuckled louder "how else am I
supposed to fight?" he growled pulling her bottoms aside
enough to make it bunch to one side and give both
surprised girls a good view of her mound. Nibiki cleared
her throat as ranma tried to cover herself "akane, your
being rude to ranma as well as our hostess." she said
sternly. Akane blinked in surprise letting go, giving
ranma time to straiten her suit and move behind nibiki
"sorry, its.... hard to control the urges when I see her
like that."

Ranma snorted cupping her mound "well do a better job!"
she said reprovingly. He looked at her from under his
eye lashes and grinned shamelessly. Ranma whimpered
softly seeing the look and looked down "its not all
akanes fault nibiki." uyko said moved to defend him
"ranma could have stopped him." she said looking at
ranma. Nibiki frowned at her as she moved by ranma "your
wrong ukyo. Ranmas never been able to deny akane her
body when he wants it. She loves him too much." she
refuted. Akane motioned up stairs and ranma nodded
leaving the room with him "they love each other so much,
being intimate is a pleasure both of them delight in
giving. Its just easier for akane to do it to ranma,
shes always been a person for actions, she loves him so
much she gives him pleasure when ever he wants it. And
why shouldn't they get as much as they can stand!? Kami
knows they've had too many reasons lately to be
miserable!" ukyo moved back shocked by the girls defense
of both of them now "all they have in the world is
themselves ukyo, hell I'm the only one in japan willing
to stand by them through what ever they do. I can
understand why they are so blantent with their love
making because almost dayly something comes up to hurt
them, they do it so often to bury the pain they feel."


Ranma snorted awake looking up hearing something and
clutched at akane fearfully before noticing that it was
nibiki and ukyo gathering up the parts of their costumes
"we're going to have these cleaned." nibiki whispered
then grinned "did you do it?" she asked moving her hand
like she was shaving something. Ranma nodded wrinkling
her nose "it itches a little, but it was fun akane was
thrilled with how soft it was!" she giggled softly then
gasped as akane moved the leg her hips were cradling
"and its... very sensitive. The hair on his legs are
driving me crazy!" she whined softly biting her hand to
keep from crying out. "Why don't you just turn over?"
ukyo asked. Ranma arched an eye brow at her "and give
him a reason for sticking things in me while I'm asleep?
I swear hes like a kids that can't help but play with his
favorite toy when ever he sees it." she said then turned
over grinning "hey its not a bad way to wake up."

Ukyo frowned at the two of them when they came down after
the breakfast rush was over and served them breafast
silently "hello there ukyo! What are your plans for
today?" akane said cheerfully. Ranma chuckled looking at
ukyo then winked at nibiki when she laughed at them "so
tell me akane, how did the day greet you?" nibiki said.
Akane grinned so wide half his face disappeared "very
well thank you." he said nodding to her before he dug
into his food. Ranma snorted "how did you wake up
ranma?" ukyo asked sharply. Ranma chuckled "on a high
note."


Ranma knocked on the door gently as she opened it "miss
hinako? Are you here?" she called and blinked as she was
assaulted by a whirlwind of crabby little girl "you are
late, late, late!! Hurry up and get dressed!!" she
yelled pulling her in the room. Ranma nodded looking
about the room and nodded coolly to asuza shiratori as
she stuck her tongue out at her "your not going to beat
us this time!" she said before leaving the room. Ranma
snorted as she stripped naked and buckled on the special
bra nibiki said went with the suit "you shave?" hinako
asked blushing. Ranma nodded "had too, nibiki designed
the suits for us so I got no say in how they went. Want
to help me with this hair thing?" she asked putting the
weird mask like thing that went with it on first and
quickly braded the red black ribbons into her hair with
her help.

"Ladies and gentle men we are here today to witness the
return performance of the most spectacular battle in the
history of martial arts ice skating!" the anouncer
shouted excited as hell "we are here to deside which is
the better team, the golden pair, koholts high school's
greatest students! Or the challengers, the winner of
the last battle between these two groups, ranma and
akane saotome!" he shouted as the crowd cheered the two
graceful people wearing pastels as they came out
together and waved to the crowd then looked up as two
cloaked and hooded figures skated out onto the ice,
dancing lightly around each other for a few minutes as
they did a very good job of hiding themselves from
sight. "What is this I ask you! Who are these two
hooded figures that have entered the rink?! Where are
the saotomes!?" the anouncer said dramatically. The
two figures skated past each other and suddenly they were
spinning around each other so fast no one could tell
them apart.

Suddenly fire burst arould them in a huge ball of light
"oh my god whats happening?! The two misterious figures
have burst into flames!" the man shouted in horror then
looked closer as the fire swirled up and suddenly
disappeared to show the two of them holding each other in
a gentle enbrace as they kissed each other "what is
this!?" the anouncer screamed as the two broke apart and
turned to the crowd, grinning slightly as the stands
filled with roaring fans as they spied the full effect
of the costumes "what a beautiful pair spectators!!
Never have we seen such a spectacular display before!!"
the man crowed standing himself. ranma grinned as akane
swirled her about until she was bent almost double under
him and kissed her again before spinning away from her
and skating off across the rink as ranma dancing about
happily went the other way.

Ranma hopped into the air and spun about landing behind
the golden pair with a perfect landing "you weren't good
enough to take us when we were amateurs on the ice, what
makes you think you're good enough to beat us now that
we're masters of our chosen art? We've changed a lot
since you last dared fight us, forfeit, I don't want your
deaths on my conscience." she purred drifting close
enough to suddenly twist mikados drooling ass around and
smash his head into the ice "if you please, I'm a
married woman, you insult me with such antics." she said
skating away backwards.

The crowd cheered or jeered her for that move then gasped
in awe as akane who had been coming up behind her caught
her around the waist and spun them about on the spot at a
fast pace. When they stopped the crowd roared in
aproval seeing him hold her close as they kissed
passionately. "Cute, the loving balance." mikado said as
asuze hit them from behind. Akane grunted falling on top
of ranma and rolled off making sure he didn't hurt her
"are you alright?" he asked turning her over. She
smiled at him "just my pride hurt, look out!" she yelled
as akane was suddenly lifted into the air and yelped as
he grabbed her feet as they were lifted up "oh no! Its
the goodbye whirl! The saotomes beat it last time can
they beat the new and improved version?!?!"

Ranma looked down at akane as they spun faster "hold on
tight!" she called bending double and to the crowds
surprise, pulled herself down his body and grabbed onto a
yelling asuza and held on as she let go of akane "ready
akane?" she called. He nodded swinging into position and
flew forward as she suddenly flipped about and smashed
him into mikado, letting go of asuza as mikado was
thrown into the air by his own power and both flew across
the rink as akane gently caught ranma and set her
sitting on his shoulder. "My god! The saotomes turned
the couple cleavers power on the golden pair and sent them
crashing into the far wall!! Oh the horror!" the
schools reporter shouted loudly as as akane skated lazy
figure eights about the ice as ranma played with his
hair smiling lovingly. "Is the golden pair out for the count?"

Ranma rolled off akanes back and skated rings around him
as he skated about in a complicated pattern at as fast a
pace as he dared. With the wild movements she was doing
around him he was afraid to go faster then grinned
getting an idea. Ranma blinked as she was suddenly
swepted up off her feet and spun in the air as akane
threw her across the rink. Ranma smiled closing her eyes
and folded her arms around herself as she came to within
inches of hitting the ice before his arms folded about
her and blinked in surprise as they skated half up the
wall to rebound back out into the middle of the rink.
Ranma panted softly as she rapped her arms around his
head and kissed him as he cradled her in his arms "I
think this is over."


Ranma stepped out of the shower toweling out her hair and
humming softly to herself happily. She bent over and
started drying her legs off as azusa walked in the room
"hello you. Did you have to break mikados legs?!?" she
spat hatefully. Ranma smirked at her as she pulled her
boxers on "you attacked, we responded in kind. It was
your own attack that hurt you. So basically mikado broke
his own legs, and your arm." she said nodding to her splint.
She sniffed at her as ranma pulled her shirt on over her
bra and grabbed her pants. She started pulling them on and
she stepped aside as the door flew open and air hissed
from air guns. Ranma hit the floor and was up in time to
blow up that whole side of the room with the ki blast she
threw, grabbing azusa to pull her under cover. When it
was over she let her go and pulled her pants on all the
way as she left the room quickly, making sure she hadn't
killed them and ran out into the school yard for more
room to work in. She looked up as akane came out of the
building at a dead run and ran over to her with relief
written all over his face then snarled plucking a dart
out of her sleave and looked around the yard before
spotting nodoka standing with twenty men aiming their
guns at them "just come quietly ranma! Your not well!
You need to be kept safe until your better." nodoka
pleaded with her "I don't buy that mom, last time they
locked me up they put me in a small room, in a strait
jacket, loaded me up with enough drugs to keep me
knocked out for days. You call that help!?"

Nodoka bit her lip "please ranma all they want to do it
help you!" she pleaded. Ranma snorted "ya, shooting me
with dart guns made to punch through the skin of a ryno,
ya, thats going to help. They'll just stick me in a
room where I can't even breath without being stuck with
needles! Then they would steal my child from me when it
comes! Call it help when they never give it back! Oh
ya, I know what they do in those hospitals, I spoke with
a lot of the people there, when a pregnant woman is
brought in they automatically take the child when its
born, not even letting her hold it, to protect the child
from the crazy person. If you call that helping someone,
your the one that needs help, all I need is a few weeks
when people aren't shooting at me! You think its going
to help me get better seeing you STAB ME!?!"

Ranma was crying softly now "I'm supposed to be safe at
home mom, where I can sit and not worry about someone
trying to kill me, or enslave me! The only help I needed
was an understanding mother to comfort me when I'm
scared, thats all I needed. Instead I got stabbed in the
arm by you. Not really the best thing you could have
done to help me 'mom' not good practice to destroy your
childs trust in you. I mean, fuck! You had me attacked
in my own home! Talk about traitors in the ranks!!" she
spat embedding the dart in the wall next to her. She
glared at them now "you want to find out why its not
smart to fuck with me?! Do you really want to push me
over the edge?! I'm hanging on by a very thin line here
mom and your threatening to snap it!! You want to see
what will happen if I go over?! Fine! Shishi Hokudan!!!"

When the light cleared the two of them were gone, and
nothing was destroyed. "That was it?" one of the
students asked disapointed. Someone hit him "she was
bluffing idiot! Ranma would never lose it enough to blow
up all of us. They tricked the chumps with a flash of
light before running away." the guy said smugly. They
nodded understanding "man, must suck royally to have your
MOM turn on you."


Nibiki looked both ways before sliding into her car and
jumped finding a man in the back seat "hello miss tendo.
I understand you have been helping the saotomes hide from
the police. See, I was hired by his mother to find him
and turn him in to the cops, I've never failed a job
before, and your going to help me find him." he said
giving her an ugly smile. Nibiki arched an eye brow at
him "and what makes you think I know where he is?" she
asked crossing her arms. His smile widened as a knife
appeared in his hands "because we don't want to see such
a pretty girl hurt for no reason at all do we?" he said
leaning forward in the seat. Suddenly the window was
smashed in and the man was yanked out of the car by a
tall beautiful purple haired woman "shampoo would rather
see nasty man hurt, shampoo think she do that now." she
said as the sound of snapping bones came to nibiki.

The passenger side door opened and cologne got in, mousse
getting in the back with shampoo beside him "we heard
members of our clan were in trouble, they sent us to
help as best as we could sister nibiki." shampoo said
hugging her. Nibiki smiled "then lets go see ranma."

Nibiki looked surprised as akane suddenly appeared in
front of the car before any of them could get out "sister
akane!" shampoo said happily as she jumped into his arms
and hugged him tightly "is ranma ok? We come right
away when hear own mother turn against her!" she said
horrified at the idea. Akane sighed "ranmas not taking
it well if thats what you mean. She won't leave the
cabin in the day light for fear someone else is going to
betray her. Hell shes scared to death that I'll be the
next one to do it!" he said scratching his head "your not
are you?" nibiki demanded. He glared at her "of course
not!"

Ranma waited until they were all in the door before
allowing the ki blast to be felt "what is this akane?"
she hissed. Akane looked at her "ask nibiki ranma, I
just stopped them on the road." he said sitting down she
nodded looking at nibiki "I was bringing the supplies you
asked for last time I was up here ranma, when some creep
pulled a knife on me and demanded I take him to you.
Shampoo was kind enough to remove him from my car." she
said calmly. Ranma nodded letting go of the blast and
hugged cologne tightly to her "I'm glad your here."

Cologne smiled at her "did you think we wouldn't come?
Child, you are family to us, and among amazons, family is
everything. Come back to china with us, you'll never
have to worry again." she said soothingly. Ranma
nodded "yes grand mother."


Nibiki screamed loudly as she launched herself at her
opponent and jumped back just as quickly after landing
four out of ten blows to survay her work, blocking a lot
of the punches as she did "good! Your defense speed is
better today nibiki." ranma called from the edge of the
sparring mats. She stood back and bowed then laughed
hugging her partner as they walked off the mats "thanks
ranma, she got me good though." she panted softly. The
green haired girl smiled "and you didn't? I feel like a
sack of bricks hit me a few times." she said answering
her perfect mandarin in perfect japanese. They chuckled
at each other before kissing and headed off to take a
shower together. Ranma chuckled after them as two new
fighters got up onto the mats and bowed to her, ranma
returned the bow and clapped her hands "go!"

Akane looked up and smiled as ranma came over to them and
sat in his lap "I think my students are getting too good
love, I couldn't find anything to bitch at them for
today." she pouted. He chuckled at the other guys around
him as they nodded in delight "you are a valued member of
our clan master ranma, you make our too too proud offspring
earn that pride by learning wisdom and honor." one of
the male elders said bowing as he shucked another ear of
corn. Ranma smiled grabbing one and started helping
them clean the dinner stuffs for a few hours, just happy
to sit in akanes lap and kick her feet slowly as they
talked softly with the old men about everything and
nothing.

Ranma laughed along with the others at dinner as she was
yet again sitting in akanes lap when a slight pain came
to her. She blinked a little touching her very swollen
belly as she chewed on a piece of bread. Ranma winced
feeling it again a few minutes later and looked over at
cologne to see that she and most of the others were
watching her with dawning delight on their faces. She
looked questioningly at her and she nodded slowly "I
think it may be time dear." she said warmly. Ranma bit
her lip feeling it come stronger "and this is the
beginning? I don't think it got half as bad as that last
one when- oh!" she gasped feeling pain kick in HARD.
Akane touched her arm "hey, whats wrong?" he asked
worried. Ranma looked at him smiling "well... remember
when I told you I was pregnant?" she asked. He nodded
looking at the others when they chuckled. Ranma smiled
weakly "wasn't that about... nine months ago?" she asked
curious and looked down as her pants were suddenly soaked
along with his. He looked down "what the hell was
that?!" he exclaimed standing her up to look at their
pants. Ranma gasped feeling her knees go weak "I think my
water broke."

Akane was pacing a hundred miles a minute outside the
room they had take ranma to looking in annoyance at the
guys sitting out there to support him. He looked up
hearing her scream in pain and looked at the door
angrily "damn it why can't I be in there?!" he asked,
having asked every time she had screamed. They sighed
"it would distract her from giving birth master akane.
She needs to consentrate on getting it out. Although, I
think shes taking it easier then some of these self
proclaimed strong women." one of them chuckled at his
friend. He nodded "ah yes, I remember when cologne
gave birth to shampoos grand mother, she screamed her
head off, cussing and cursing the whole time!" he
cackled. His friend nodded "yes, maybe now our women
will be as strong as they say they are no? Even the
musks stay away since master ranma led shampoo and three
others against them. The amazons and the musk dynasty
have been warring for two thousand years. In a battle
that lasted for three days a pregnant woman took the
greatest fighter the musk bastards could come at us
with. Master ranma is a marvelous warrior, a role model
for all."

Akane grumbled to himself as they babbled on about ranmas
feats over the past few months. They looked up after a
few minutes as the sounds of ranmas labor pains stilled
for a minute before coming back louder then
went back to normal for a few minutes before she
screamed long and loud. "Thats it! I'm not taking it
anymore!" akane yelled walking into the room before
stoping in his tracks at the sight he saw "twins!?"

Ranma woke up very slowly. She kept hearing this noise
that for some reason made her want to wake up and deal
with it. Ranma sat up weakly as her shirt was opened and
blinked a few times at the women around her before
becoming fully awake at the sight of the small thing in
one of their arms, it was making some of the noise. She
held out her arms to the child and looked at it in awe as
they gently helped her place it to her breast and gasped
in wonder as it clamped down on the nipple and started
suckling she looked up at the girls around her at the
feeling of liquid flowing from her and the feeling was
making her dizzy "m- mine?" she asked softly. They
laughed nodding before showing her the second child and
placed it in the bed with her "two?!" she gasped
touching it gently and blinked when it clutched at her
fingers "a boy and a girl." cologne said standing next
to her. Ranma smiled in delight "which.." she started
before cologne showed her the red hair of the child
at her breast. Ranma looked up giggling as akane came in
the room and held out the boy "look, twins, our babies.
This is your son." she said giving the baby to him.
Ranma watched his face anxiously as he held the baby in
his arms before he smiled at him "my boy, my kids. Our
kids!" he said elated. Ranma smiled exstatically at
his aproval "here! Our daughter!" she said holding the
girl out to him. Akane held the two in his arms
grinning foolishly as they slept peacefully. Ranma layed
back in the bed and watched him watch the babies sleep
in his arms. Feeling more rewarded by the look on awe
and wonder on his face then any words could, she let
sleep pull her back down.

Akane stumbled out of the house that served as the
villages hospital to see all their friends standing
around, pretty much the whole village "its a boy" he
started and grinned as they cheered "and a girl. Twins!
Ranma gave birth to twins!"


Kisumi blinked as she looked through the mail and found a
package addressed to her. "What's this kisumi-chan?"
nodoka asked looking at the package "isn't that nibikis
handwriting?" she asked and the two went into the
kitchen to look it over "its a photo album, heres a
letter." she said putting the book down

"dear kisumi, there isn't much chance ranma or akane are
going to come home any time soon due to the betrayal they
feel over what happened with ranmas mother, that really
was a stupid thing to do. In this package you will find
a photographic journal of the past nine months starting
with a picture I took at the airport after buying all
the film, surprisingly, I needed to go to town five times
for more film. We love you, hopefully we can come home
soon, but I wouldn't hold my breath, just mentioning
nodoka around ranma will ruin the day for anyone around
her. Please do not flip through the book, it really is
a journal. Nibiki"

they looked at each other before opening the book to its
first page to show a picture of ranma looking over her
shoulder, akane holding her reasuringly "damn them
anyways, I hope to god ranma can get over what nodoka
did to her." it said and below that "note: the captions
were all written right after I developed the photos, so
they will express my views on what was going on during
the taking of the pictures." it said in nibikis tight,
neat handwriting then below that was written something
else in someone elses handwriting "cool, ok if nibikis
going to do this then i'll add my view. Lets see this
picture.... we had to hide in the cargo compartment due
to the cops at the terminals, this would be me glaring at
them."

They looked at it for a moment before turning the page to
show a dimly lit cargo bay with akane laying next to
ranma, looking worriedly down at her as she slept, they
could plainly see she had cried herself to sleep
"cologne had to put ranma to sleep to keep her from
dehydrating herself, didn't stop her from crying in her
sleep." nibiki comented. And below that in ranmas
handwriting "I didn't know that, most of the trip is
fuzzy to me, mostly due to crying. Makes me love them
even more, cologne is doing her best to help ease the
pain, its hard, but as the saying goes we're saotomes..."

The next page held a picture of ranma badgering two women
a lot taller then her, they held meekly sullen looks on
their faces "ranmas thrown herself into training these
amazons, I'm wondering if she'll be able to handle them
if they deside to do something she doesn't like." nibikis
coment said. Below that ranmas was written with a heart
"not a chance nibiki, these girls love me, if its
reasonable then they would talk me out of stoping them."
she said adding a smiley face at the end. Below that
nibiki comented again "as always ranma is right, after
the herb thing I think ranmas as willing to please them
as they are to please her, and yes, I know your writing
on my pictures."

They giggled at that and attracted genma and soun "look
its ranma!" soun murmured looking at the page genma
nodded looking disgrunted "shes teaching our school to
those amazons!" he yelped before being stared down by
the two girls. They turned the page to show ranma in the
middle of a kata with akane laying on the mats behind
her with a bemused look on his face "this is the first
time I noticed ranma was showing, she freaked
thinking she was gaining weight." nibikis coment said and
below that "I WAS gaining weight, its going to come out
in six months though!" ranma said and nibiki added
laughter to it. "This is nibikis handwriting." soun
murmured. The girls glared him down "its nibikis
project, ranma just added her view point to it."

The next picture showed ranma looking very dirty leaning
on a spear as she surveyed a burned and blackened
landscape "this was a scary time for all of us, herb
found out ranma was in china and attacked the village.
Ranma and akane went out to do battle with him, this is
how it looked after ranma killed herb, damn him for
forcing her to use one of those attacks she had prayed
never to use." below that ranmas reply was short "I
didn't want to do it nibiki. But it meant the
difference between our lives and his one. I chose his,
didn't look like a victory to me either."

They looked at the grim hopeless look on ranmas face
before turning the page to show a picture of ranma
yelling indignantly at nibiki as she jumped naked out of
bed at her, akane rolling his eyes in the background
"ranma feeling better after the herb incident, she had
even stopped having sex for a while, I came close to
losing my camera this time. I got out of it by
challanging her to a fight, it consisted of me dodging
her grabs for the camera, after a few minutes she realized
everyone was watching and stalked back into her house and
could be heard screwing akane blind." she said with a
winking smiley face after it. "That reminds me...."
ranmas remark said and they all chuckled.

The next page held ranma standing on a few mats holding
nibikis hand in the air, she looked worn out "ranma was
so proud of me here, looks like shes totally over her
depression, and all it took was a broken rib on my
part." nibiki said and ranma doodled a face sticking its
tongue out "your trying to down play this nibiki, YOU
BEAT SHAMPOO IN OPEN COMBAT!!! thats a great
acomplishment for someone thats only been training in
martial arts for two years. Soun would be so proud, I
was." soun cheered happily as he danced in place by
himself until he was flattened to shut him up.

The next page showed ranma looking disgruntled over the
plate of food akane was putting on her large belly "my
camera broke! Took three months to get a new one. This
is ranma griping about how much her ankles pissed her
off." she said and a drawing of a flower was beside it.
Ranma drew a dog pissing on her flower "so there! I
threw that plate back at him, how dare he use me as a
side table!" was ranmas reply and nodoka laughed softly
shaking her head "oh ranma."

The next picture was of ranma using a bottle on a pole to
get some water from a pool with a bamboo stalk coming out
of it "this would be ranma carrying out a decree by the
village council." was nibikis coment "come on nibiki.
You know its against the rules for two girls to marry
unless one of them turned into a man. I know you love
gel, but you'll be a lot happier if you have children,
imagine my suprise when you sent me back for another
bottle of water. So whos playing father nibiki?" ranma
asked drawing a wink. Below that "if you must know,
we're going to both bare children. Were going to play
both mother and father, like you and akane."
They blinked at that "nibiki got married?" kisumi asked
looking surprised.

Nodoka turned the page to show ranma chewing a bite of
bread with a disconcerted shocked look on her face,
akanes face in the back ground seen talking to someone
"this would be ranma realizing shes going into labor, not
a minute after this was taken she soaked both their pants
as her water broke." she comented. Below it was ranmas
handwriting looking a little more carefully written
"akane freaked and had to stay out in the waiting room,
table thumping while I had to do all the work." she said
below that nibiki laughed "ha! We heard you screaming
all the way across the village." was her reply and they
grinned at the rude drawings ranma put below that.

The next page held ranma sleeping deeply, excessively
wearied with two small bundles laying next to her, the
sleeping faces of the two babies in plain view "ranma
and her twins, a boy and a girl strange, looks nothing
like ranma..." She comented. "Don't push me nibiki, how
would you like me to shove the cooking pot up you then
see if you can push it back out. We named them ranma and
ranko. Aren't they just the cutest you've ever seen?
And their MINE!!" she wrote nodoka laughed covering her
mouth crying softly at the picture of her grand children.

The next few pages showed ranma doing verious things with
the babies and on the second to last page it showed ranma
holding ranko up by her arms as she took her first step.
The next page though wasn't of ranma, but of nibiki
holding up her shirt to show a bulge in her belly "ranma
hasn't seen this picture since I'm rapping the book in the
packaging after I put it in. This is an excuse to come
see us. Please take it." soun nodded running off to
start packing. "Look, a note is stuck under the
picture." kisumi said pulling it out.

Nodoka took it after she saw that it was addessed to her
"mother, nibiki thought I didn't know what she was doing,
and it was a pain getting the package open to put this
in it. Please come to us, lets talk."
