Author’s Note: Thanks for the support! I wasn’t that sure if this story had already been done so I was waiting for any reactions. They’ve all been positive so... I shall continue!

Chapter 2

Ranma slowly woke up as the sunlight hit his eyes. No he was female now, so it was her eyes. She was feeling quite rested after the disaster that was last night. She vaguely remembered the alleyway and those... cats but she must have got home okay because she was in bed.

Ranma groggily wondered why her futon was so bouncy. She was also hugging something warm. She looked down to the lump. The lump was Akane, who was looking directly at her with that angry glare.

“AKANE!” Ranma squealed.

Akane smiled. “Good you’re not a kitty.”

Ranma was smacked out of the bed with a swift kick.

“You pervert! That was for sleeping in my bed!” Akane yelled.

Akane stomped down on his head. “That’s for being such and idiot and taking RAW fish home! You should know it would attract those animals!” She kicked him a few extra times just to make sure he got the point. Ranma couldn’t respond in defence, he was groggy from sleep and abuse.

Akane suddenly stopped kicking him and she sniffed. “You have no idea what happened last night do you?”

“...uh.. no.” Ranma groaned. She tried to focus on Akane, she was crying and her face was really flushed. “What did I do?”

Akane blushed some more and she looked down to Ranma. She knew it wasn’t his/her fault. “I... don’t know how to say this.” Ranma began scratching, Akane had calmed down slightly and she desperately needed to wake up. She slipped her hand into her boxers; she was kinda itchy down there.

“RANMA!” Akane shouted, she grabbed her lamp and smashed it over his head. “You are such a pervert.”

“I always scratch in the mornin’.” Ranma mumbled from the floor.

“It’s disgusting!” Akane spat. “Don’t do anything perverted until I tell you what trouble you’ve put us in.”

Ranma looked up from the ground. Akane was trying her best not to hit him. He could see the vibration from her holding back her muscles.

“C’mon Akane it can’t be that bad! Did I just snuggle onto you? We’re both clothed!” She did notice that they were slightly crumbled and Akane was still blushing.

“Nabiki caught it all on camera when you were in the Neko-ken.” Akane whispered. “If our father’s get that tape we will be married by tonight for sure.”

“The only thing that make them to that is if.. is ...if... we... had...” Ranma paused as the word that he didn’t want to say blasted in his head. *SEX*.

Akane nodded, “Now get out of my way I have a sister to fry.” She stormed past Ranma pushing his dazed form back onto the floor.

Ranma was busy trying not to think about it. *Did I lose my virginity? Why isn’t Akane really killing me?* Her head was beginning to hurt and she still didn’t understand. Changing back to her male form might help the headache. Ranma moved downstairs to the kitchen. Kasumi wasn’t up yet. She glanced at the clock it was still 4 in the morning. Thankfully Kasumi always kept a kettle of hot water on the stove. She tipped the steaming contents over her head and was glad of the change.

He could hear thumping upstairs from Akane’s heavy footsteps. *I really want to see that tape now. What did I do?* “NABIKI!” Ranma winced; she was going to wake the whole household. He dashed upstairs, if he could see the tape maybe he could snatch it off Nabiki.

Akane was standing shouting over Nabiki who was in her bed watching her sister with a look of amusement.

“Where is it?” Akane snarled.

“I don’t know what you mean Akane.” Nabiki said slyly. “I have so many investment tapes you’ll have to be more specific.”

“I want last nights one.” Akane growled.

“The sushi restaurant?” Nabiki asked.

“You taped that?” Akane yelled. “But, no not that one! The one when Ranma returned when he was under the Neko-ken.”

“That’s solid investment material that.” Nabiki said sitting up. She noticed Ranma standing in the doorway and smirked. “It was such a hot passionate night! You gave me such a flush, I’m sure Kuno will love to see it and oh yes, Daddy will find it very entertaining. I can make the wedding arrangements now if you like!”

“Where is THAT tape!” Akane screamed. She didn’t notice Ranma had slumped to the floor.

*Me an’ Akane, we did do it last night!* Ranma felt horrible. There was no way Akane could fight off his Neko-Ken she would have had to submit. It was like rape, he was a rapist. He stood up and dashed to the bathroom, a sudden nausea taking over him.

Akane turned as she saw Ranma running away. She frowned as she heard the vomiting sounds. *He’s that turned off by me.*

“Now, Akane I am willing to give you the tape but it won’t be free of charge.” Nabiki said.

“I understand that sister.” Akane said as she heard some more retching sounds. “How much?”

“Oh no not just you. That tape contained Ranma-Chan as well. I want lots of cosy shots of the both of you.”

“I wouldn’t pose with that pervert!” Akane snarled.

“You did more than pose with her last night.” Nabiki smiled that infamous smile, it was already agreed.

“Fine, I’ll pose for your photos.” Akane snapped.

“Who said photos?” Nabiki said, the smile still there.

“A tape of me and that... that...” Akane was lost for words.

“A tape of you and Ranma in female form, doing lots of intimate things.”

“I don’t do intimate.” Akane said.

“Oh... Oh Ranma..” Nabiki imitated her sister from last night.

Akane’s already red face turned purple from the blood that had rushed there. “Nothing involving sex!” Akane said through her teeth.

“Of course, it’ll be a lot more cleaner and less ‘perverted’ than last night’s offering.”

“TAPE!” Akane snapped holding out her hand. Nabiki smiled and handed Akane the copy form under her pillow.

“Where’s the original?” Akane said, knowing her sister too well.

Nabiki sighed and reached above her bed to her tape player. “It really was good night time entertainment.” She pressed eject and handed Akane the tape.

The youngest Tendo couldn’t express her rage clear enough. She felt angry at everything and she really needed something to hit. She stomped down the stairs as the other members of the household had opened their doors.

“Everything all right Akane?” Kasumi asked.

“Just fine.”

“The boy didn’t return to his room last night.” Genma whispered to Soun.

“You don’t think?” Soun gasped.

“They may have come together last night!” Genma cried.

“Oh happy day! The schools will be united!” Soun began crying.

Ranma came out of the bathroom wiping his mouth. The two fathers checked him over.

“Hmmm... slightly flushed.” Genma noted.

“Definite afterglow.” Soun agreed tears still streaming from his eyes.

“You make me proud son.” Genma said patting his boy’s back.

“Nothin’ happened!” Ranma shouted and hit Genma out of the house. There was a faint splash from outside.

“It was just a sleep over wasn’t it Ranma?” Kasumi asked hugging her nightgown close. “I mean you were an innocent kitty last night and you wouldn’t calm down.”

“I wouldn’t?” Ranma asked unsure what Kasumi had heard.

“I mean there was so much yowling last night it sounded like alley cats in mating.”

Ranma went white. *Mating?*

“You’re good to Akane when you’re in Neko-Ken.” Kasumi giggled and covered her mouth with her hand. “I think you must have been serenading her, how cute.”

“Yeah, Ranma must have been serenading.” Nabiki agreed. “I mean what else would make all that noise?”

Ranma ran back down the stairs. He couldn’t face Nabiki; she knew what really happened. He still had no real idea but it was sounding a lot like they really did have... sex. He entered the dojo. Akane was already there in her yellow gi plus a matching scarf round her neck. She was smashing bricks and muttering about ‘perverts’ and ‘sisters’.

“Um.. Akane?” Ranma kept a defensive stance. In the temper she was in she might change from the bricks to his head.

“What is it Ranma.” Akane hissed as she piled some more bricks up. “I got the tapes back but there was a price.”

“I.. I’m sure.” Ranma stuttered. Akane was acting so distant and angry. “I still don’t know what I did.”

“You never do Ranma.” Akane snarled. “I’m not in the mood to tell you and it doesn’t matter. No honour was lost.”

“It wasn’t?” Ranma perked up. That meant it wasn’t rape or... sex.

“The only thing that happened was two girls getting too close.”

“Huh?” Ranma was really confused now. “So you forgive me for what happened?”

“I forgive you moron, okay!” Akane said. “It wasn’t you, it was the cat you.” Ranma jerked a little at the mentioning of ‘cat’.

“Do you forgive the c.. feline me?” Akane pulled back her scarf and showed him a bite mark.

“It bit me!” She spat. “Of course I don’t forgive it. It was absolutely humiliating! The fact that Nabiki saw everything further enforces the embarrassment! To have.. to have THAT done to me and biting me! Like I was its feline mate! Cats aren’t monogamous; they change their mates all the time. I was just the nearest female in heat to it.”

“...ack.” Ranma choked. He’d been sexually intimate to Akane. Somehow his ‘liking’ her had come out in his cat form.

“Don’t apologise Ranma, it wasn’t you.” Akane said. “I know the thought of me and you makes you sick!”

“Sick?” He repeated. *But my feelings come out when I’m in the Neko-Ken, doesn’t Akane realise that?*

“Stop gaping like a koi!” Akane said. “If Shampoo had been the closest I’m sure she would have got some action.”

Ranma shook at the thought of how Shampoo would react to that. “I don’t understand why this happened now.”

“I’m ovulating you idiot!” Akane yelled. “It’s the cat equivalent of being in heat!”

“Ovulating?” Ranma said, the news still trying to sink in. *I got close to Akane?*

“And stop looking so shocked it’s leaving you far too open.” Akane said as she swung at Ranma and he easily got clipped in the chin. Ranma blinked, getting hit knocked him back to his senses.

“I was just shocked that my cat self found an uncute macho tomboy like you a turn on.”

“RANMA!!!” Akane yelled, her aura had surrounded her. She kicked Ranma like a soccer ball out of the dojo. Akane heard a satisfying splash and she calmly went back to smashing rocks. Ranma exited the koi pond annoyed with herself. She knew if she had just kept her mouth shut she would be still dry and not a she. Ranma was more concerned with what had really happened last night. What had it been like to actually be close to Akane and to show her real affection? She really wanted to see that tape now. From what she could understand from Akane she had them now. She just needed to find a way of sneaking into Akane’s room without being noticed. She didn’t have much thinking time as a giant panda attacked her.

“Grwolff.” Genma Panda cried as he began his morning spar with the boy/girl.

“Pops ya getting too slow.” Ranma taunted forgetting about the Akane situation for a few minutes.

Kasumi watched from the patio. She had heard a lot of noise last night and it ended in purring. Now she knew something must have happened with Ranma last night. His cat side was possible the best way to show Akane how Ranma felt about her. Kasumi wasn’t as devious as her middle sister wasn’t and she defiantly wasn’t violent like Akane.

Kasumi did possess one character trait thought that was absent in both, the need to match everyone up and to have a happy ending. Kasumi began singing as she went to the kitchen. Everyone deserved a happy ending especially her little sis’ and Ranma.

*************

Author’s Note: Yes Kasumi is being matchmaker! What is she planning? Who knows, actually I know and you won’t find out till later. Next chapter a lot more misunderstandings and chaos is guaranteed!

Also another note: I found Lord Archive’s fanfiction ‘The Neko-Ken is out of the Bag’ (as mentioned by a few reviewers). I hadn’t read it before writing this, but I have now and my plot is going in a different direction. I got my idea from watching a documentary on house cat mating. According to how Akane reacted to Ranma his cat side saw it as a ‘come on’. So technically it wasn’t really rape, there’s a lot of communication before a tom will try and mate with a female. Besides a female has a good set of teeth and claws to protect her so a male should have a bit of pre-mating asking.
