Moonlight on Your Skin:
Theme and Variations
By Leloi

Ranma easily scaled the wall outside of Akane’s room.  It bothered him that Ryoga was inside, sleeping next to Akane.  “I’m not going to lose out to that pig.”  He mumbled as he carefully made his way through her open window.

The moonlight from outside fell through the light curtains and covered her with a blue glow.  For a moment Ranma was breathless.  He lighted softly beside her desk and made no more noise than a passing shadow.

He focused his fighter instincts to find his target.  Where was the piglet?  He was startled when Akane shifted in her sleep.  He crouched lower and willed himself into the shadows.  Akane kicked off the blankets to reveal herself in a faded nightgown.  She moaned softly.

Ranma caught a soft, scraping noise.  It got a little louder so he could pinpoint it coming from the closet.

“Not now, P-chan...” Akane called out suddenly to the scraping noise.

There was a little squeal from the closet to answer her.

Ranma was confused.  Akane was awake, but pretending to be asleep and Ryoga was locked in the closet... but why?  He watched Akane with interest for some answer.

Akane reached down and slowly ran her hands up her body, bringing her nightgown up with them.  She sat up and pulled the nightgown off, over her head.  She tossed the nightgown on the floor, not too far from Ranma’s hiding place.  She lay back down on her back and ran her hands back down her body.

“She’s naked.” Ranma thought as the curtain stirred with a breeze.  The moonlight reflected off of Akane’s skin and it made her glow.

One of Akane’s hands idly touched her breasts as the other explored down her body.  She opened her legs and... Ranma’s manhood responded with a twitch.  He couldn’t believe that he was sitting in the dark, watching her pleasure herself.  He watched her knead her breast.  The other hand was...  Ranma wasn’t sure.  He never really explored his own female body.  He always thought of it as infidelity to Akane.  Slowly he reached down into his pants and touched his penis.  It hardened at his touch.  He pulled his hand away and angrily thought, “I can’t do this here in her room.”

He watched in fascination as Akane reached under the bed and pulled out something long and thin.  She opened her legs and guided it into herself with both hands.  There was an audible click and a low hum.  Ranma watched her hips pump franticly at whatever was in her hand.  She moaned and closed her eyes.  “This is my chance to escape.” Ranma thought, knowing his own throes of ecstasy made him lose contact with the world around him.  He leapt for the window and pulled himself outside as he heard Akane moan in lust.  She mumbled something.  He focused his hearing on her muffled gasps as he peeked into her window.

Akane’s pelvis strained upwards as she cried out, “Oh... Ranma!”

Ranma lost all feeling in his body as a shiver ran up his spine.  He lost his grip on the wall.  He fell into the fishpond with a loud splash.

He could feel his body change into her.  His breasts grew and his penis disappeared... But the ache in her groin didn’t dissipate as it normally did when he became her.  She suddenly became very aware of the cold water on her hot flesh.  “She called out my name... MY NAME!”  She repeated over and over in her head as her body slowly rose to the surface of the pond.  The bubbles were delicious on her skin so she kicked off her pants and struggled out of her muscle shirt.  She laughed underwater and the bubbles caressed her.  She slipped her hands under the waistband of her boxers and slid out of them.  Finally she allowed herself air at the surface of the pond.  She pulled herself out and sat on the rough rocks surrounding the water.  “I can feel them... They scratch my bare skin.”  She could feel her sex gently brush against the rough rock.  The contact made her feel hotter.  She stood and examined the blue light of the moon on her skin.  The cool air sent chills down her spine as she looked up to Akane’s window.  She was surprised to see a figure looking down at her.  “Akane... Is that you?”  She asked.

“Ranma... What the hell do you think you’re doing?”  Akane asked, leaning out of the window.  She had hastily thrown on her nightgown and Ranma could see in the pale light that the nightgown was on inside out.

“I... I don’t know.  I fell in the pond.”

“Get in here before someone sees you like that.”

Ranma looked up at the window and made a flying leap for it.  She caught the sill and pulled herself inside.

“I meant ‘in the house’ not my room, you dolt.”  Akane said as she backed away from the other girl.  “What are you doing naked outside anyway?”

“I don’t know, Akane.”  Ranma said.  “I just had to feel the moonlight on my skin.”

“That’s crazy.”  Akane said.  “Here... Don’t catch cold.”  She tossed her robe at Ranma.

Ranma wrapped herself in Akane’s robe... smelling Akane’s scent on it.  It was almost like being wrapped up in Akane.  “Akane... Have you ever...”

“What Ranma?”

“Been naked in the moonlight?”

“What are you talking about?  Why would I do a thing like that?”

“I don’t know...” Ranma shrugged.  “Have you ever...”

“What?”

“How does a girl... I mean... I’m part girl now and I’m not sure how... I mean... It’s not like being a guy... Where does a girl touch to feel...?  I guess I don’t know what I’m asking.”  Ranma said as she stood and looked out the window.

“Ranma, you were at my window a few minutes ago, weren’t you?”

Ranma shied away from her and looked away.  “I don’t know...” She mumbled.

“I heard a loud splash and that was you falling from my window, wasn’t it?”

Over and over Ranma’s brain repeated, “You called out my name... my name.”  She looked at Akane for a long time.  “Will you teach me how to pleasure myself as a woman?”

“You pervert!”  She said, raising her hand to ready a strike.

“No Akane!  Please, I really want to know.”

“You watched me, didn’t you?”

“I’m sorry... I didn’t know what you were doing.”

“Why were you even there?”

“I... I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

“I don’t... Please, Akane.  You are the only one I...”

“What?  The only one you what?”

Ranma pouted.  “Nothing.”  She said.  She dropped the robe and it landed at her feet.  She looked up at Akane and made a gesture of supplication with her palms up.  Slowly she turned and jumped up onto the sill of Akane’s window.

“Ranma... Wait.”  Akane said.

Ranma looked back at her with deep sadness.

“I do like to feel the moonlight on my skin.”

Ranma smiled at her as she slipped over the sill.

“Will you teach me Akane?”

Akane stared at the woman in front of her.  She looked so hopeful.  Akane felt sorry for her because she was lost in the female body, not knowing what to do with it.  “Alright, I’ll teach you.  Lay on my bed.”  She said.

Ranma lay down and felt a little uncomfortable.  She didn’t have a problem with her feminine modesty... Just where did she put her hands?  They fidgeted at her side, opening and closing.

Akane lounged and paused to stare at the naked woman beside her.  “You are nervous, aren’t you?”

“No!”  Ranma said as her voice cracked.

“Think of it as a martial arts technique to master.”

“I always do.  Conquering myself is my toughest challenge.”

Akane made a face and let the comment slide.  “Let’s start with the basics... Do you even know what the female anatomy is like down there?”

Ranma made a face and said, “No.”

Akane made Ranma lean back and open her legs.  She took Ranma’s hand and guided it down to her labia.  “Labia.”  She said softly.  “Inside is...” Akane began as Ranma opened her legs wider and pushed her fingers inside.  “Your clitoris.”

“Where’s my clitoris?”  Ranma asked.

“Feel around for a fleshy, lumpy thing that feels good to touch.”

Ranma made a face in concentration.  Finally she found what Akane was describing and threw her head back and moaned.

“Farther down is your vagina...” Akane began as Ranma pushed her fingers down.

“Is it this hole?”  Ranma asked.

“Good boy...” Akane said.

Ranma made a face.  “What can I do with it?”

“Besides have a penis inside of it?”  Akane offered.

“I know about that part... But what can a woman do alone with it?”

“Explore it... Push your fingers inside.  Use toys to get the sensation of having sex.”

Ranma was silent as she explored herself.  “It’s so warm and wet.  Are all girls like that?”

“Yes.”  Akane said as she watched her betrothed explore her own body for the first time.

“Where did you learn to do this?”  Ranma asked.  Her ministrations seemed to fulfill the ache she held, but she still felt unsatisfied.

“I taught myself.”  Akane said.  “Unlike some people, I’m secure in my body.”  She reached down under the bed and pulled out her special toy.  “Here... try this.”

“What is it?”  Ranma asked, recognizing the object from when he spied on her.

“It’s a dildo.  Slip it into your vagina.”

Ranma did as she was told.  “It’s big.”  She moaned as she slowly eased it in.  Akane flicked the switch and Ranma’s body went into contortions.  “Akane... Oh!”

“Don’t fight it... Enjoy it.”  Akane said as she leaned back beside the redhead.

“But men don’t vibrate like this.”

“But doesn’t it feel good?”  Akane asked.

“Too good.”  Ranma said, flicking it off.  She paused for a moment before playing with the dildo by making it move in and out of her.  She tried not to think about it as a penis connected to a man.  “Can you do it like this too?”  She asked.

“You can... But it takes longer.”

“Do you imagine you are with someone while you do this?”

Akane didn’t respond for a long time.  She listened to the wet sounds Ranma’s body made as she played with herself.  It was a little gross to hear someone else make those sounds... But it felt somewhat good to know that it was Ranma’s first time... and she chose Akane to share it with and learn from.

“Akane?  Do you?”

“Yeah... I do.  Imagine your lover on top of you.”  Akane said.

Ranma stopped and removed the dildo.  “I don’t have to do that.”  She said.  “Imagine my... I can see her.”  She said quietly.  The ache in her body encouraged her forward as she caught Akane’s lips with her own.

Akane pulled away.  “Ranma stop... You are a girl.”

“I’m still Ranma.”

“I’ve never done this with anyone... and I never imagined a girl.”

Ranma pulled Akane’s nightgown off so she could see the moonlight on her skin.  “I know what to do now to make you feel good.”  Ranma said as her hand ran down Akane’s lower body.  She wiggled it between Akane’s thighs and opened her labia.  “This is your clitoris.”  She said as she played with it.  Akane closed her eyes and moaned.  “And this is your vagina.”  Ranma said as she pushed two fingers inside.  She straddled Akane’s thigh and felt her hot skin press against her labia.  Only a little adjustment and her clit touched Akane.  She reached down for the dildo and gently pushed it into her betrothed.  She used her thigh to keep it in the right spot as she flicked it on.  “Imagine this is me... Akane.”  She said, quietly.

Akane wrapped her arms around Ranma.  She could feel her breasts crushed against the other girl’s.  It felt so good.  “Make love to me Ranma...” Akane moaned in her ear.

Ranma’s thigh pushed the dildo in harder.  Akane felt the throbbing wash over her as she strained upwards to touch Ranma.  “Oh... Ranma!”  She moaned.

Suddenly there was loud splash outside of Akane’s window.  She opened her eyes to find herself alone with P-chan scraping at the door of the closet.  Her fantasy began to fade as she tossed on her nightgown and looked outside.  Everything came flooding back as she saw Ranma pull herself naked out of the pond and stand, staring at the moonlight on her skin.

*              *              *

Ranma sat in the darkness watching Akane pleasure herself.  Slowly he reached down into his own pants and touched his shaft.  It responded to his touch.  “I can’t do this in her room.”  He thought idly... But his desire was too great.  He watched her, as she lay oblivious to his presence.  How he wished he could hold her tenderly.  But she made it hard on him.  How could she make it so hard for him to tender with her?  Was he really that bad of a person that he didn’t deserve to be tender?  A slight sob escaped him.

Akane heard the sob and stopped what she was doing to lie quietly.  “P-chan?  Is that you?”  She called out to the darkness.

“No...” The darkness said.

“Ranma?  What are you doing in here, you pervert?”  She sat up in bed and quickly became aware of her nakedness.  “Have you come to look at me?”

“No...” Ranma said.

Akane followed his voice to see him sitting beside her desk with her nightgown at his feet.  “Throw me my nightgown so I may get up and kill you.”

Ranma looked at her as if he was going to cry.

“What’s wrong with you?”  Akane demanded.

Ranma stood and tossed Akane’s nightgown at her.  “I’m sorry.”  He said as his voice broke.  He vaulted up to the windowsill.  “I’ll go now.”

“Wait... Ranma.” Akane called out after him.

He looked back at her.

“Are you crying?”

Ranma suppressed a sob.  “No...”

“What’s wrong?”  She asked with a touch of tenderness in her voice.

“With the moonlight on your skin, you look so...” Ranma sat down on the sill.  “I don’t know... I guess I wish that I could be made of moonlight.”  He gave her a pained look and prepared to jump out of her window and into the fishpond below.

Something glimmered in Akane’s eyes.  “Why do you wish that?”

Ranma crouched on the sill.  “So that I may touch you without fear of your wrath.”  He said quietly.

“You fear me?”

“Not you... your wrath.”

“What would you do if I curbed my wrath?” Akane asked.

Ranma hopped down from the sill and onto her bed beside her.  “I’d come to you willingly.”

“You aren’t willing now?”

“I’m afraid of getting hurt in a place I could never heal.”

“Where is that?”

Ranma reached for her hand and placed it on his chest.  His heart raced like a rabbit under her touch.  “Here.”  He said.

“Oh... Ranma.”  She said.

“Even with your wrath... I can’t stop it.”

“What?”

“Wanting you.”  He said quietly as he gently touched her cheek.  He leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers.  She moaned softly and pressed her body against his.  He could feel his desire for her return.  He pulled away from her to look in her eyes.  “My Akane...” He whispered as he wrapped his arms around her.  He liked the touch of her skin on his.  She nuzzled into his neck and her breath sent shivers down his spine.  She kissed his chin and his lips as he removed his muscle shirt and pants.  She tugged at his boxers and he let her remove them.  He lay beside her and drank in the site of her.  He held her and gently pushed her hips away from his.  “Not yet... I’m not ready for that yet.”  He whispered.  “Just hold me... As if I were moonlight on your skin.”

Ranma stood gazing up at her window.  He had wanted to track down Ryoga in the piglet form... But suddenly his heart wasn’t in it.  He made his way up the wall and peeked into her window.  She and the piglet were fast asleep.  The moonlight settled on her face and made her glow with its light.  A million scenarios played out in Ranma’s head... Some played over with subtle changes... Some contradicted the previous... Then he chased them all away.  In her sleep Akane shifted and moaned, “Oh... Ranma.”

Ranma smiled at her.
