(This is a Lime/Lemon piece of fanfiction)

* * *

On a bright and sunny Sunday morning, a hour or two away from lunch, sounds of Martial Art Combat could be easily heard coming from the Tendo backyard.

If anyone had looked over the walls that surrounded the compound, they would have witnessed a short pretty red-haired girl in Chinese clothing, hair done up in a pigtail and was currently showing off her impressive figure as she showed her great flexibility and skill.

Her sparring partner this time, on the other hand was not so eye catching at all.  No, he was a aging man with little hair to speak of and who could not doubt be the girl's father.  He was ooverweight, the word handsome would never be used and you wouldn't be surprised if he was also as lazy as a Panda.

Well, these two unusual fighters was locked in a fierce match, which in the end had the loser taking a free flight into the Tendo family's Koi pond.

And so, as the balding man went flying into the pond, the redhead smirked and commented.

"You must be getting more and more slow in your old age, old man!" Seeing the Panda rise out of the pond, she saw the now changed man raise one of its ever present signs and she her noise up at as she read it and headed towards the House.

"Lucky my ass, Pops." She snorted out, as she entered the Kitchen and accepted the waiting kettle of hot water that was made by the gentle housekeeper, Kasumi Tendo.

"Thanks, Kasumi." As she turned the hot water over her head to reverse the effects of his curse, Ranma without looking tossed the item behind him, which was skilfully caught by his Father.

"As usual, boy, your too cocky." Said the now human Gemna Saotome, "one day you'll bite off more then you can smart mouth your way out of and end up coming crawling back to me for guidance."

"Hmph, in your dreams." Ranma threw back, as he changed his line of thought as he realised something out of place..

"Hey Kasumi, I just realised I haven’t seen Akane since sometime after breakfast." He was curious of late of where the Tendo Tomboy went this days on the weekend, but always forgot to ask her since he seemed to always get distracted by someone or something.

Turning towards the cursed boy, Kasumi regarded him with her ever pleasant smile and said, "Oh my, I'm not too sure where she went off to.  I think she left around 2 hours ago but only said she was going off for a walk and seeing someone."

"Strange, she's been doing this for over a month now, I wonder where she heads off to." Ranma thought out loud.

Nabiki, who was coming down from her room at that time, overheard the question and decided to use the info she had received last week and hopefully find out herself what Akane been up to.  Entering the kitchen, the moneylender regarded Ranma for a moment before commenting.

"Well Ranma, if you must know, I believe I can help you there to satisfy your question."

With a heavy sigh, Ranma turned around and gave Nabiki a hard look before replying.

"You know you have already drained me of all my money this week, so what’s the catch?"

"Why Saotome, no need to worry, this bit of information is free of charge, consider it your birthday gift." Nabiki couldn't help smirk at the boy, as she watched him roll his eyes.

"Find, whatever, so you know where Akane went off to?" he asked.

"Indeed I do, and the place is Nerima beloved Nekohanten."

Staring back at Nabiki in surprise, Ranma silently thought he misheard that.

"Huh? Say again?"

"You heard right, Shampoo's place of all places." Nabiki said with a shrug, with a thoughtful expression on her face, "it sure surprised me, since those two mixed together isn’t pretty, more for Akane as we all know if she pushes Shampoo’s wrong buttons."

Ranma still was too surprised by this bit of information offer further comment but a slap on the shoulder got him active again as he heard his father's annoying voice.

"You should go over there, boy, and make sure the Amazon girl hasn't done anything to Akane." The older Saotome briefly glanced at Nabiki, but her face didn’t show anything that could lead to any problems for his boy.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm moving." Ranma sighed, knowing this wasn’t going to be pretty.  So after quickly getting himself cleaned up, the Saotome heir left while leaving his old man with the Mistress of Nerima.

* * * * *

The walk to the infamous Nekohanten was a short one, though it did give Ranma some time to wonder why Akane was over at the restaurant nicknamed the Cat Cafe.

It was true of late that he had seen very little of that hostile between Shampoo and Akane.  Though they didn't see much of the girl-turn-cat, when the bouncy ball of fur did make a appearance Akane seemed to be more indifferent about glomps and Amazon praise, and sometimes she would reframed from hitting him.

It was coming up to around 18 months since Shampoo had first arrived in this district, and of late he was feeling more and more pressured by his Father to end this business with the Amazons.  But to be truthful, he had no idea how to dissolve the Amazon Marriage without having some kind of hunt party out for his blood for the rest of his life.  He knew he had to think of something to honor both Tendo and Colonge's family honor, he could not in his right mind send Shampoo back without fixing this strange situation.

Coming up to the restaurant, Ranma thought with a amused smile on his lips, whatever Akane was up to the place seemed to be in one piece.  No doubt though, what the two girls were up to he had a feeling that he probably won't like it one bit.

Entering the Chinese restaurant, Ranma noted it was still not quite lunch rush hour yet, so all he was greeted to was the infamous old ghoul of Nerima.

Speaking of old ghouls, Colonge was currently keeping herself busy by looking over some of the items she had requested from her private collection, while trying to ignore the odd noises coming from upstairs.

She was right now looking through a book that spoke of teaching watered down versions of the Neko-ken.  She had judged now Shampoo was ready to take advantage of her curse to learn her own Berserker type technique.

The Elder had over the last 6 months been quietly continuing Shampoo's training, to keep up with Ranma's ability to learn new moves.  So far she judged that Ranma was still a bit lagging behind Shampoo due to the advance techniques and strategy lessons she was teaching her heir.  Colonge had forbidden the girl to show off what she had learned, not wanting Ranma to find out and pressure her to also train him while he refused to honor her Great-Granddaughter.

The only time that Shampoo had no choice in the matter of using one of the Chi-based Techniques had been on that wild sea chase that involved the Seven Lucky Gods.  Her Great-Granddaughter had reported she had no choice but to use it against the talented Mon-Lon, and was lucky that noone saw what had happened upclose.

Now many months later, Colonge had thought it was time to round off Shampoo's training for the rest of the year by teaching this different version of the Neko-Ken, then let Shampoo go into a normal route training and see if they could lure Ranma into a more favourable standing with Shampoo with new moves as the bait.

Colonge was shortly drawn away from her work with the sudden sounds of someone entering her restaurant, mading her look up to see that the object of her heir's desire had wandered in.  So saving the place in her book, the aged woman turned her attention to her favorite off-and-on male student.

"Ahhh, Son-in-Law, what brings you to my home." Of course she knew why, as she still wasn't that sure if she should let the current situation between Shampoo and Akane continue.

"Hey old Gould." Ranma waltzed up to the bane of his life, giving the place a once over before turning his full attention to the small woman before him, "So I've heard that Akane has been visiting here."

"Indeed she has, and it seems that she had struck up a interesting little game with my Shampoo." Seeing both confusion and curiosity, she continued, "though I would gather you might not like what that game is."

"Oh?" he frowned, "what are those two up to, I hope they haven't decided to gang up on me now or something like that."

Chuckling, Colonge shook her hand and pointed in the direction with her staff to the rooms upstairs, "If you would like to find out, be my guess, though try not to break anything please.  When you three young people get together in one room only trouble will happen."

Nodding, Ranma continued on as he strolled upstrairs where he knew Shampoo's room would be while meanwhile Colonge only shook her head in amusment as she wondered what the boy would think when he entered Shampoo's room.

Inside said Amazon's room, Akane Tendo was currently seated on Shampoo's bed in a crosslegged position as she admired the creature in front of her.

Stroking her long fingernails down the back of her new pet, had always had the effect of calming her.  She had gathered that it might have something to do with her other little pet piglet, P-Chan, who she had befriended years ago though he seemed to have an odd habit of getting lost.

Much like her good friend Ryouga.

Anyways, the lovely thing in front of her was such a blessing.  In the past when all the craziness in her little district started up, she had unknownly became more and more angry and violent.  True, Ranma had a lot to do with that since he had this knack at pushing her right buttons to make her feel like mauling him or anyone else who got on her nerves.  But of late, her latest activities had seemed to tempter that deep anger at life and she could now interact more with the people around her, even if they didn't realise it.

As she continued to enjoy her company with her beautiful pet, sudden footsteps were heard from outside Shampoo's room and shortly after a very familiar voice could be heard.

"Hey Akane, Shampoo?" Ranma knocked, "are you in there?"

Akane and her pet both gave the door a brief look before Akane commented softly, "I guess he was bound to come and find out what I was doing over here.  So I guess we better clue him in." Seeing a nod, Akane responded.

"Yes Ranma, I'm in here, come on in." An odd smile briefly crossed her lips before placing a calm expression on her face as the door swang open.

Ranma had only stepped into the room after hearing Akane's voice, but as he turned towards where Akane was sitting, the Saotome boy soon froze up as the sight before him broke a circuit breaker in his brain.

Before him sat Akane, in a loose white shirt and dark skirt, with a naked Shampoo in human form laying next to Akane while the Tomboy continued to stroke the Amazon's back with great amount of affection.

"Hmmm, it seems our little Ranma has burst a brain cell or two."

"Meow." Nodded Shampoo, arching her back while she started purring again as she felt the delicate fingers run over her left ass cheek.

"Wha?” Ranma blinked, then blinked again without success to rid himself of the disturbing image before him.

"Hmmm? Whats the matter Ranma, haven't you seen someone pat a pussycat before?" Akane smirked briefly at the boy, as her fingers lightly tapped around Shampoo's lower lips.

"Meooow!" Purred out Shampoo with delight, as she briefly lost interest in Ranma as she continue to enjoy the attention she was getting from her owner.

Seeing this action seemed to have the right effect, as Ranma snapped out of his shock and his facial expression changed to one of shock and confusion to disbief.

"What the hell are you two doing!?!" He shouted, "That's gross and, god, girls don't do THAT!" His eyes soon widened when Shampoo moved her head around and started nuzzling Akane's neck while running her tongue on the girls flesh.

"What? You mean I can't play with my C-Chan?" Akane made a cute pouting expression, as she allowed Shampoo’s 'paws' have access to her modest bosom.

Shaking his head, he stepped forward briefly before seeing Shampoo turn her head, showing a curious expression on her face while asking, "Meeeow?"

Freezing, he watched with a stunned look as Shampoo soon continued after a moment to play with Akane's breasts, lightly batting them like a cat playing with a ball of string, since Akane had finally removed her shirt.

By the doorway, noone had noticed Colonge pogoed by though as she saw the unmoving Saotome, she couldn't help but throw in her own comments.

"Well Son-in-Law, you have noone to blame but yourself for this situation." And continued onto her own room to retrieve another book.

"Huh?" Ranma spun around poked his head out the door, "HEY OLD GHOUL, WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING TO THEM!"

Shortly after the shout, the old woman returned to the hallway and gave Ranma nasty smile, "What? You don't find two young woman pleasing each other enjoyable to watch? Sonny boy you must be either not interested in the fairer sex or you take after you Father more then I thought."

"HEY!"

“Or haven’t you heard of the word fetish before?”

"Oh C-Chan, you such a wonderful kitty."

Spinning around, Ranma re-entered the room to his shock of seeing Akane now fully undressed, with Shampoo kneeing in front of the dark-haired girl while she had her head nuzzed in between Akane's thighs and licking the other girl while making loud licking sounds.

The sound of Colonge’s chuckle was heard as she went by was ignored as Ranma watched the scene in the room without much going through his mind other then the stiffness in his pants.

Seeing this look on Ranma's face after Shampoo paused in her act, Akane gave Ranma thoughtful look then said, "What? You want to pat C-Chan or something Ranma?" Shampoo moved her head up and around and gave Ranma a wide smile as she licked her lips as she added her own 'Meow'.

This seemed to made the boy step back as he saw the hungry looks in the girls faces.  He watched as Akane cupped Shampoo's breasts while she locked gazes with him.

"Come over here Ranma, don't you want to feel these pretty darlings.  You don’t want to hurt C-Chan’s feelings you know." Shampoo gave off a long meow as Akane fondled the Amazon's generous bosom.

Shaking his head, Ranma was in a mess in his mind.  The situation before him was something he wasn't prepared for, let alone even thinking it was possible.  Seeing the two girls please each other in this way was awaking something inside him that he hadn't felt before, and it seriously outranked the feelings he had for either girl when in his arms(most times unwillinly).

As he watched Akane stroke Shampoo thighs with a aching slowness, the urge to join became painfully to ignore.

Join?

Blinking, Ranma briefly wondered where that thought had came from when he realised that he was really losing it and he needed to stop the scene before him.

"No way! This isn't right and you know it!" Ranma frowned with a disturbed look in his eyss, "You guys gotta stop now or I'll have to tell Mr. Tendo!"

Hearing this, Akane stopped her Shampoo from licking her nipple and shot Ranma a hard look.

"I don't think so, Ranma, no one will stop me from having my little C-Chan to myself." She snorted out, "though I did offer you to play with me, she wouldn't have minded."

Shaking his head, Ranma moved forward, "No Akane, this isn't right, you need to stop these things with Shampoo right now! She isn't your pet you stupid sex driven tomboy, she is a HUMAN!:

Blinking in union, Akane and Shampoo shared a look in confusion before Akane commented to Shampoo, "looks like the same needs to be done to him like to Mousse those other times."

Nodding while letting out a sad meow, Shampoo got off Akane and turned her body to face Ranma directly.  This movement made Ranma briefly paused in what he was about to say about what she ment about Mousse, as he now studied Shampoo’s face as she continued to purr.  Soon though, Ranma finally gave them a confused look.

"Huh? Mousse, did he catch you?"

Chuckling lightly, Akane patted the Amazon on the head before saying, "Get him, girl."

Stepping back at the comment on reflex, Ranma was surprised as Shampoo suddenly leaped at him from a kneeling position.

Before he could do anything to dodge, Shampoo had leaped over his head.  Before he could turn around though, Ranma felt something on his head that made him pause before shortly after the scene before him faded to black.

The thing that was spoken before he lost conscious was...

"Sweet dreams, Ranma."

* * * * *

"…Airen..."

Blinking to clear his eyes, Ranma's fuzzy mind heard a familiar high-pitched voice as he came out of a very refreshing sleep.

Sleep? When did I fall asleep, he thought, now trying to think back and recall when he would have dozed off, with it being the middle of the day and all.

"Open wide for Shampoo, Airen."

Shampoo...? As his vision finally cleared he finally remembered some details on what he was doing earlier.  First thing to come to mind was he had left the Dojo and travelled to the closeby Cat Café in search of his stray Tendo fiancée(or better know as that uncute tomboy).  Though at times he wished the tomboy would leave him alone, he was curious where she had popped off to again on this Sunday.

More memories soon came, with him entering the restaurant and spotting the old ghoul at one of the many empty tables, know doubt reading one of her endless supply of Amazon books.  He also remembered exchanging a few words with said Ghoul then he...went...to…

Damnit! Why can't I remember anymore then that, he thought in frustration, and no matter how hard he tried to jog his brain, nothing came up.

Though suddenly, any thoughts of searching for his misplaced memories was cut short as something was pressed against his lips, and one whiff sent an automatic message to that part and let the familiar smelling Ramen enter his mouth.

Once finishing swallowing his food, he shortly after snapped to attention and snatched the chopsticks from the Purple-haired waitress.  He soon quickly set forward to inhale the food before him as his stomach had also just awakened.

Shampoo, meanwhile, nodded with a wide smile as she watched her clueless beloved munching down on some of her delightful tasting Ramen.

Though the Amazon Champion was happy to see her husband enjoy her food, she did wish though he would show some backbone and treat her like his wife and, well, ravish her body til the wee hours of this coming evening.

Sighing inwardly, she watched Ranma shovel his food without pause til she sensed a familiar flaring aura from the back of her home away from home, and that smile that had started to slip from her lips reinforced itself as she briefly wondered if these events would ever change.

As Ranma was near the end of his second bowl, a very FAMILIAR voice from behind him suddenly snarled out his name.

"RANMA!!! What do you think your doing?" Akane Tendo soon appeared behind the boy, startling him out of his seat, while nearly losing the lunch that he just ate.

"Huh? Akane?" He turned around to see a red faced tomboy with fists on hips(and no, I'm not touching that one today) and seemed ready to strike him like a deadly snake.

"Yes, me, you bake of all bakas!" She poked him in the chest, making the boy back away and making him put distance from his latest free meal.

"But, but, why are you here? At Shampoo's place?!" Asked the confused boy.

"What, do I need to tell you EVERYTHING I do in my life? Geez Ranma, you really should start minding your own business." She huffed out, seeming to be trying to get herself revved up for a good punting.

"But...?" This point of time, Ranma's mind had really seized up.

"Silly Ranma, Kitchen Distroyer was only using Restaurant restroom." Shampoo supplied Ranma, while bouncing back and forward on her heals.

"Knock off the stupid names, Kitty-cat!" Akane snorted out, "and you Ranma, eating her food AGAIN!" Sensing a quick use of his special Saotome Technique was in order, Ranma bolted for the front entrence.

As the boy fled the Cat Café in a Tomboy induced panic, Akane started to follow his trail but before leaving she glanced back at the Chinese cutie and nodded, sharing in a satisfying smile before she left.

As Shampoo heard the words 'RAMNA NO BAKA' from the Tendo sister a block away, she let out a wishful sigh and decided to go back to her work, and try not to think too much how lonely she would feel tonight again.

Colonge, meanwhile, seeming to have been forgotten while all this was going on, she continued to read her scrolls and books.  Though, as Shampoo walked by she did shake her head, as she thought...

Kids these days...


End?
