Rejected Part 10 - Second Monday - Yin. By Lord Archive This is dark and sad. If you're looking for my usual comedy, you won't find much of it. This chapter also contains some lemon references. (Those under 18 should not read further.) Characters are owned by Rumiko Takahashi, Viz Video, etc..., and are used without permission. I'm only borrowing them. I'll return them. I can't afford the overdue charge Nabiki insists on. -------------------------------- I quickly get dressed for gym. I want to be with Ranma, make sure he's all right. While we'll be doing different things during gym, I can still keep an eye on him. "Yuka, we need to have a little talk with the newlywed." I hear Sayuri say in a tone that doesn't fit her. I'm not going to like this. "Hello, Akane. So, Ranma is an arrogant jerk that you'd never marry?" Sayuri sneers. I know I'm NOT going to like this. "Sorry..." I can't even find the courage to look them in the eye. "Why didn't you tell us?" Sayuri demands. "I... I've been busy." "I'm sure you were busy, seeing as you were on your honeymoon," Yuka insinuates. The locker room is suddenly so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. I nod. It's the truth. "All right Akane, why the change of heart?" Sayuri asks, ignoring that everyone is listening in on us. I closes her eyes. "Um... Ranma's mother stopped by to see him before I got back from our slumber party. When she found out about the curse, she felt she needed to make sure he was a man. She was going to take him away and make him a man in her eyes. There was a good chance that I'd never get to see him again . The only way he could stay is if he was married." I look at them, trying to keep myself from crying. "I realized something then. I didn't hate Ranma. I love him. What I hated was being forced into the engagement, and I had taken it out on him. So when I was finally given a choice about the engagement, marry him or never see him again, I chose to marry him." I start crying anyway. "It was a good thing too. When his parents left, they died. What little hope of him returning would've been lost because he would be dead too." "Is about time Akane realize that. Shampoo hoped Akane no figure it out until after Shampoo marry Ranma." Oh, no. Not her. "Hi, Shampoo..." "Now Akane, Shampoo curious... how Ranma in bed?" "Um, ah." I back away from Shampoo. "I don't want to talk about THAT here!" "Why not? Akane has great husband! Akane should gloat and tell how good Ranma is." I can't believe she wants to hear that. "I mean, ah..." Damn, who put that wall there. "Come on, Akane. Why no kiss and tell?" Shampoo is still pressing me to answer and I have nowhere to run. "This is NOT the place to talk about it!" "You owe this to Shampoo for marrying Ranma," Shampoo demands, her face inches from mine. "Fine!" I shout angrily. "You really want to know how good he is? He's great! He's as good in bed as he is a fighter. I can't believe how well he can pleasure me. He makes me orgasm several times, every time! He's even gotten me to scream out in passion before all my clothes were off." "How good is Akane?" Shampoo didn't get phased by that?! She expected him to be that good?! "Pretty good, and I'm still learning," I answer truthfully. "Akane use protection?" Shampoo asks as she steps away from me. P-p-protection?! Oh, Kami-sama! I haven't used any at all! "Ah... no." What if I get pregnant? "Akane want to get pregnant?" Shampoo smirks. I look at the floor. Pregnant... to have Ranma's child. The child of the man I love. Why... Why doesn't that fill me with dread now? I'm sixteen years old, I shouldn't have to think about being pregnant... or being married. But I am married and it is only natural that for a married couple to have children. If I get pregnant Ranma would have proof that he's a man... I would be the mother of Ranma's child... I look up at Shampoo, and nod slightly, and answer, "Yes." Shampoo smiles?! What is wrong with this girl? "All right girls! Everyone to the field!" The gym coach yells from the door. Fortunately Shampoo leaves taking most of the other girls with her. I try recuperate a moment before joining my class. I hear someone crying. I look at the section that's on the other side of my locker and see Ukyou sitting there. I wish I knew how to help her. She's my friend, even though we were rivals. I want to help her but anything I would say would only hurt her more so I leave her behind. -------------------------------- Finally school ends, and Ranma and I leave for home. I shake my head, hearing people talk about Ranma and me as we move through the hall. I wish they would mind their own business. So what if I'm sixteen and married? They shouldn't be so noisy! "Are they really married?" "Shampoo believes they are and you've seen how Ukyou's been mopping around for the past week." "Do you know if they done it yet?" "Yeah, Ranma said they did and that Akane wasn't violent in bed." Ack! I want to hurt him. "Akane even said she wanted to get pregnant." Kuso, I hope Ranma didn't hear that. I glance up at Ranma, and he is rather pale. He isn't saying anything, but I know he heard them. What am I going to say to him? I want to get pregnant to prove he's a man isn't a reason I can tell him. Because I love him is a good reason, but probably not enough. "Akane?" Ranma asks, after we're a couple blocks from school. "Ah, yes?" "Um, did you, ah, do you want to, ah?" Ranma stammers his question. I sigh. "You want to know if I want to get pregnant?" "Y-yeah." "Um, yes." Ranma looks at me like I've been possessed or something. "You want to get pregnant?!" I nod. "Well, we are married, and it's only natural for a married couple to have kids." "But, Akane, we're still in high school! Aren't we a bit young for this?" "Maybe a little. But I don't see too much of a problem with it. Sure, I'd have to take some time away from school, and it'd increase our responsibilities. Then again, we would be starting our family. I would be the mother of your child." "I don't think it'd be a good idea. I mean, I don't think I could be a good father. I'm not always a guy. My only parenting role models are my dad, yours, and Kasumi. Of the three, I only consider Kasumi as having done a good job." "I like to think my dad did a good job. Sure he could have done a lot of things better, but he could be worse." "Like my father." "Well, he could've done a lot of things better, but he didn't do that badly for trying to raise you on his own. We won't let that happen with our children. Even if... something happens to one of us, we still have my family to help care for them. Besides we know where they went wrong and can avoid that." "Like no forced engagements." I giggle. Good he's joking. "Avoid forcing them to do anything they don't want to do." Ranma nods once. "I still don't think we should." "There might not be a choice. I might already be pregnant, seeing as we haven't used protection even once." Ranma is now rather pale. I bite my lower lip. "Ranma, I don't want to avoid becoming pregnant, but I won't actively try to either. If I become pregnant, so be it." "Akane, are you sure? I mean we're just finishing this school year. You'd be a mother while being a junior in high school." "Yes, I'm sure." It's a bit frightening how sure of that I am. -------------------------------- Ugh. Finally finished this homework. Today's been a long day. Ranma did better than I thought he would though. The only real problem was that he just had to have sex with me at lunch. I should have expected that and planned against it. It was after gym and someone had to have made a comment that could hit at his manhood. Sigh. I could've done a better job preventing it. I think I didn't really want to prevent it. It was even more exciting with the fear of discovery. Maybe I should have let Ranma have his way with me when he snuck into my room before. If it felt that good when there wasn't that much on the line, I bet it would've been even better since our future was at stake then. Sigh. I know now he sneaked in to protect me from Ryoga, but if I hadn't gotten upset who knows what would've happened. I hope Ranma wants to join me in bed soon. I giggle a little. Right on cue. Ranma enters our room with a glass of water. "Akane?" Ranma asks. He sounds a bit nervous. "Yes," I reply, a bit more seductively than I wanted. "Um... How do I say this?" Ranma says, confusion clearly shaking his voice. He sighs. "I want you to hear me out first before you say anything, okay?" I nod even though I'm scared now. Really scared. What is he going to say? Please Kami-sama, don't let it be about not being a man or committing suicide. "Akane... I... well... have come to a decision. I-I'm not just a man... but I'm a woman as well." I want to interrupt him... but he did ask to hear him out. He looks at the waters he's holding. "This doesn't mean I can't be a man amongst men... it just means I can be a damn fine woman too. I used to think these were two different things, but they don't have to be." He's now looking me in the eyes with some determination, but I still see confusion and fear as well. "I am yin and yang. Opposition given form. I am both male and female. There are people who consider me both a friend and a enemy. There are people who love and hate me. I can be kind and be a jerk. I am honorable and honorless. And I am your husband and your wife." Ranma dumps the water over himself. "Akane..." The nervousness, fear and confusion return in full force. "Do you accept me like this? You have accepted me as your husband... but do you also accept all of me? I'm also a girl, so for me to truly be your spouse... I ask that you consider that I'm your wife too... in every sense of the word." Ranma as my... wife? But he's a guy... most of the time. He-he might never be cured. I do love him. BUT I'M A GIRL! I would be a hentai to do THAT! It... it's just perverted! This is Ranma. As a guy and as a girl, Ranma is Ranma. He is my husband. Would it be so bad to think of him as my wife as well? What about what other people will think? Shampoo's taunt of pervert girl would be true then. Other people would think that I'm a pervert too. Should I even give a damn what other people think? They haven't exactly been kind to me before. They probably think we've already done it THAT way. "Akane..." Ranma's shaking voice snaps me out of my thoughts. "I-I understand if you don't want to accept me... this way. I-I won't kill myself or nothin'... It's just, this is part of who I am." I get up, walk over to him, and kiss him. I don't think words could really convey the answer he wants. Action speaks louder than words, but it's nice to say them anyway. Breaking the kiss, I say, "Of course I do. I love you. You are my man. If that means you're my woman as well, that's fine with me." "What if I ever get stuck like this?" Ranma asks. "I don't care as long as you're with me." Do I care? Yes... but I'm not sure I want to know how much... or how little I care. I close my eyes for a second, clear my thoughts, and kiss him. I add more passion into the kiss while I drag him to our bed. I'm actually going to have sex with a girl?! No it's Ranma, he's a guy... Don't think about it. I don't think my sanity could take it if I start thinking of him as both. I may start treating him as my wife in some ways, but Ranma is still a guy. I sit down on the bed and pull him down with me. Erm... That didn't exactly work right, we're both girls. Oh well, try not to let it stop you. I can feel my hands shake as I start to unbutton her... HIS shirt. I don't care if he has breasts bigger than mine, Ranma is a guy! I pull off his shirt and tentatively place my hand onto his chest. Ranma stiffens for a moment, but then relaxes as my nervous hands plays with his nipples. His tits quickly stiffen under my care. Good, I'm turning him on... I'm getting turned on too! I-I shouldn't be.. I'm making love to a girl. But the girl is Ranma, and he can make me scream in ecstasy before my clothes are off. Ranma breaks off our kiss to take my shirt off me. He then takes my bra off me as well. We both start playing with each other's chest. His touch causes me to moan. He moans too, but with less intensity. "Ranma, how come you're better at this?" "Well, you're nervous and... you know how I liked to take long baths..." Ranma's face is the same color as his hair. "You hentai! You couldn't keep your hands off yourself." Before we got married I would have pounded him into paste, but now I'm giggling. "You can't keep your hands off me either." Ranma sticks his tongue out at me. "You got that right." For emphasis I quickly pull out the knot in the draw string his pants and slide my hand under both his pants and boxers. I shudder a little as I touch his nether lips. Tendo Akane, you are officially a pervert and bi-sexual. I close my eyes and slowly run my finger over his female sex. This is Ranma, this is Ranma, this is...n't that bad. Oh Kami-sama, I'm actually enjoying this. Is that a bad thing? There is so much more we can do if we don't limit ourselves to doing it... the normal way. I carefully push my finger into his wet hole. He gasps and moans in appreciation. I'm really enjoying myself and I'm doing most the work. I never thought I could get this wet over a girl, but I am. Ranma pulls down his pants and boxers. I don't stop playing with his slit even as he steps out of his remaining clothes. I stop what I'm doing and Ranma whimpers in protest. I guide him to lay down on our bed. I quickly remove my pants and panties before joining him. Resting to the side of him, close enough for our bare chests to press together. I start kissing him again and my hand returns to his sex. His hand begins to caress mine as well. I gasp, feeling his small fingers penetrate me. After playing him for nice long time, I pinch the bulb of his sex and he cries out, "Akaaaneeeee!" His body shakes as he orgasms. Sensations well up in me as his body shudders against mine. My tits are being ground by his. Despite orgasming, Ranma's hand hasn't left my sex. His fingers are vibrating in me. Before I have a chance to fight it, I orgasm too. I scream out in passion. Both of our bodies convulse as euphoria engulfs us. We shiver and shake from the pure pleasure we brought to each other. The feelings generated soon subside and we lay there, panting. We stare into each others eyes, and I start crying. "Wha... Akane, I'm sorry if you didn't want to do that." I hear the concern in his voice and it hurts me more. "Ranma, it's not that. I... I... I wanted to do that.... I-I've wanted to do that for a long time. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I've hurt you." "Huh? What are you talking about?" "Why I was so angry with you all of the time. Forced to be engaged to you and jealousy were only part of it. One of the reasons I've been so angry is because of me, because I'm not normal, I'm the freak, I'm the pervert." Ranma looks at me with concern and confusion. "What are you talking about?" "Ranma, I'm bi-sexual. The reason I tried to push you away was because you remind me that I see women as well as men sexually attractive. I hurt you because you were unknowing making me face who I really am. "I try to deny things I don't like. T-this was something I hated about me, so I denied it. I tried to not think about it, but it's hard to when you've got a body like that. If you were a stranger, I could ignore it. But you're not a stranger, you were my fiance and the temptation to want you as a girl grew as I fell in love with you." Ranma chuckles a little. "So Shampoo was right, you are a pervert girl." I nod, still crying. Ranma kisses me. "Akane, I don't care if you're bi, actually it's better that you are. And compared to most of the people we know, you're normal to everyone else. You shouldn't hate it. You shouldn't deny who you are. Trust me, it hurts more when you do. I caused myself and others pain because I denied my curse and my love for you." "Thank you." Ranma kisses me passionately, and fondles my breast. "Want to go again?" "Mmm Hmm." I nod. "Lie on your back." Ranma commands, and I obey. Ranma moves, placing his knees on either side of my head. When his female sex is close enough to my mouth, I start licking him. He screeched in pleasure. I feel Ranma's tongue run along my own nether lips. I still can't believe how much I enjoy this. He moans into my sex. It feels weird, but good. My cunt literally shakes. It's not long before our passions climax. Ranma completely loses it to the pleasure and passes out. I just lay there for a while with Ranma asleep on top of me. I like the way he feels resting on top of me. I sigh. It won't be comfortable if we stay like this too long. I carefully move Ranma off of me and place him under the blankets. I lay down next to him. Even though he's still asleep, he snuggles closer to me. I look at him and can't help but think I don't deserve him. I hurt him because I wouldn't let myself see so many things. Kept denying to myself who I am. Ranma, the worst is over. You've accepted who you are, and even helped me accept who I am. You... We might not be completely over this, but I'm no longer scared that you're going to leave me. We can move on with our life together now. It won't be easy, but then nothing with you ever is. -------------------------------- Author's Notes: -While Amazon's may not be big on contraceptives, Shampoo has been in Japan long enough to know about them and expected Akane might have used them. Shampoo was 'happy' with Akane's answer about not using them because it meant that she was being a good wife to Ranma. -Ranma's thoughts on Akane wanting to get pregnant when talking to her about it: Akane wants it He'd have final proof he is a man Akane won't ask him to use a condom They may be young, but he doesn't have any future plans save running the dojo. This is a nice end, but it isn't really a ending. There are still more questions still unresolved. (I start a series so you know it will never end.) (BWAHAHAHAHAHA- someone shoot me.) Ranma maybe out of the woods, but he isn't completely recovered. How does Akane deal with the fact she's been repressing so much of herself? Denying things that are part of herself? Is there more things she's blinded herself to? What about Kuno coming to terms with his curse? Nabiki's feelings of guilt over cursing Kuno? How is Soun going to recover from his friend's death? Will Ms. Hinako's first appearance a couple weeks after the end of the fic have an effect? Does Ukyou truly even accept that R&A are married? How does Shampoo deal with being stuck in Japan and going to school? What about Happosai's search for an heir to the higher arts of AGMA? How will Ryoga be treated when he returns? Will Kodachi ever get out of the insane asylum? Will Mousse ever return? Also as to a question for the sequel itself: What's with Kuno seeing a copper-haired woman roaming around the Tendo home and Furinkan High? The sequel to this will be called Wandering Spirit. It is the lowest priority to be written, but it may have guest writers to speed up it's release. Note this Series began at Manga Volume 22. Lord Archive's quotes: There are no true endings, only beginnings. A story can go on forever and never end for life always leaves loose strings behind. We live in an insane world, Ranma is even more so. I'm sick enough to be miserable, but not sick enough to not work.
