----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ranma nibun no ichi - 1 - The Wedding [WARNING : Lemon fanfic!] All characters portrayed in this fanfic are copyright of Rumiko Takahashi and Shogakukan Inc, etc, etc, etc. _____________________________________________________________________________ [On the veranda at the Tendou Dojo] Genma Saotome and Soun Tendou sat down at their regular game of shogi. Soun dressed in his regular dark gi, and Genma (in human form, for a change!) in his white outfit. Genma grinned at his old friend, "Wasn't it good that we finally found a wedding date for those two? It's been four years since they met each other. At least we finally decided to have them married! (Even if Nodoka suggested it...)" Soun nodded in agreement, "It has been too long. We can stand by no longer and wait until they decide. It was time a firm decision was made... But do you think we did the right thing?" Kasumi walked in with some tea, which she poured for both men, "They are adults now, going to university, too! So I'm sure that everything will go wonderfully!" she said cheerfully, "Especially when you tell them about their wedding!" [A week later] Akane Tendou sat on her bed, looked out of the window, and sighed. She gazed out,looking at the pond. But now she was going to marry Ranma. As she stared at the pond, her thoughts drifted... She stopped, and blinked, wondering how those thoughts had come into her head. Ranma was a jerk! He teased her unmercifully! He... But when he smiled at her... She stopped again... and stared outside, unseeing... Ranma Saotome stood in the dojo, angrily going through his kata. He stared at the wall, thinking of Akane... He frowned, realising what he had been thinking. He felt uncomfortable thinking like that about Akane... But he also was excited by the memory of her body... Ranma blushed deeply, and resumed his kata, trying not to think of her... [An outside view of the Dojo revealed the carnage that had followed when Genma and Soun each told their respective child about the wedding. There seemed to be Genma-shaped and Soun-shaped holes in the roof.] Nabiki walked in, and knelt down at the low table, looking at each of the people already eating. Ranma glared at his father, while sneaking looks at Akane. Akane glared at her father, then looked down at her food when she noticed Ranma looking at her. Genma and Soun sat in silence, quietly eating their food. They looked slightly the worse for wear... almost as if they had just been in a fight... Kasumi ate her food, and smiled cheerfully at everyone. "So, when's the big day?" Nabiki asked, wondering if there was any chance of getting a profit out of this. Ranma and Akane glared at her, while Soun and Genma pointed to a calendar. The 6th of February was circled. This was the 1st. Nabiki shrugged, "You two will just have to learn to get on together, now!" [That evening] Kasumi and Nabiki sat in Akane's room, with rolls of white, silk material. Nearby was a pattern, set to Akane's size. Sequins, lace and pearls sat in little boxes, to one side. "Akane, you will just have to make do!" Nabiki frowned at her, "And after I got all this stuff for you, you can't just turn around and say no! (Even though it was dirt cheap...)" Kasumi smiled at Akane, "You'll have to stand still to try this on. And please take off your dress. We want you to look your best!" She held up a length of silk, half sewn into a sleeve. Akane sighed, and slowly took off her dress, standing in her bra and panties, letting Kasumi start fitting the silk. Ranma sat in his room, looking outside the window. Next to him sat a black tuxedo, a white shirt, and various other articles of clothing. He frowned, thinking something. Suddenly, Ryouga burst into the room. "RANMA! HOW DARE YOU?!" he yelled, looking ready to kill Ranma (which was nothing unusual). Ranma looked over to the door, a little surprised by the interruption. Kunou jumped in, mowing down Ryouga, "How dare you take such actions against my beloved Akane, you who are most reviled by women!" "It's not my doing!" Ranma jumped up and yelled at the two intruders. The two men took no notice of Ranma's words. Kunou jumped at Ranma, his bokken at the ready, "Strike! Strike! Strike!" But before Kunou reached Ranma, Ryouga grabbed him, and threw him back, "How dare you step on me!" he yelled. As Kunou and Ryouga fought, Ranma rolled his eyes, and leaned back. Unfortunately, Ranma's movement brought their attention back to the one they were here to fight. They flew at Ranma, attacking him from both sides. [A little later] Ranma lay twitching on the floor, near his tuxedo. "Pick on me, will they? I'll get them back for that!" Back in Akane's room, the sisters packed up the material. Nabiki and Kasumi said goodnight and left, leaving Akane alone, sitting on the bed. The window smashed open; Kodachi, Shampoo and Ukyou swung into the room! "No! You can not have him! We won't allow it!" each of them cried together. "I don't want to marry that jerk!" Akane jumped off the bed, preparing herself for a fight. Then Kunou and Ryouga burst in, via the door, "Akane, will you really marry him?" The girls stopped, and looked at Kunou and Ryouga, then at Akane. "Will you?" Akane looked at the floor, "Our parents set this up, not us! I - " Akane got cut off as Happousai bounced through the room, happily knocking out Kunou and Ryouga as he jumped towards the girls. "Akane-chan! You can marry Ranma if you will still let me *hug* you!" he cried, then he glomped onto Kodachi, who bapped him over the head with the handle of her ribbon. Happi jumped from girl to girl, fondling them, until the girls ran away... Happi followed on, grabbing for their panties! Soon the room was cleared of everyone except Akane. She closed her window and door, and sat on her bed, thinking... [Feb 4, evening] Akane sat at her desk, and stared at a book. Someone knocked at the door, and she jumped, looking up. "Hai?" The door opened, and Ranma looked into the room, "Akane...? Can we talk?" he asked. Akane blinked at him, and slowly nodded. He entered the room, and closed the door behind him. He sat on her bed, and looked at the floor. "Akane... Do you want to m-marry me?" he asked softly, blushing deeply. "R-ranma?" He continued to stare at the floor, not daring to look into her face. "I-I want..." she stopped, and also looked at the floor. "It doesn't matter, does it? We will be married, anyway..." She trailed off, and bit her lower lip. Ranma sighed, got up, and walked slowly over to the door, opening it. "W-wait... Ranma..." Akane said softly... "I...." Ranma turned to look at her... She stared at him, unable to speak. Then she turned away, her eyes closed. Ranma silently slipped out, and walked to his room. That night, both of them fell asleep trying to sort out their feelings for the other... [Feb 5, Morning] At breakfast, Ranma and Akane sneaked secretive glances at each other. Soun and Genma looked better, but they sat at the far end of the low table, away from Ranma and Akane. Kasumi smilingly served the meal. Nabiki sat down, watching Ranma and Akane. [Feb 5, Evening] Akane stood up in her silk wedding dress. Nabiki and Kasumi looked at her, smiling in admiration. Akane smiled to herself, looking in the mirror. Her short dark hair was covered by a veil. The front part of the veil was folded back, revealing her face. The longer back part of the veil reached the floor behind her. The bodice of the wedding dress tightly hugged her torso, showing off the feminine curves of her body to full advantage. A low cut decolletage showed off her cleavage. And the thin waist of the dress showed off her small, well formed body. The sleeves of her dress and the decolletage, were edged with small pearls and shiny, white sequins. A lace pattern ran down the front of her bodice, accentuated by more small pearls and sequins. The skirt flowed down from the bodice to the floor, in long white cascades of silk while the back of the dress trailed on the floor behind her, giving her a long, silk train. The train was decorated with more lace, pearls and sequins. Akane looked in the mirror at herself, hardly recognising the beautiful woman gazing back at her. "Oh! Sis, you look wonderful!" Nabiki smiled. She grabbed her camera, and took a photo. Akane looked questioningly at her, an eyebrow raised. "It's just for posterity, sis!" Nabiki grinned. Kasumi smiled, "You will be a beautiful bride..." She hugged her little sister, "But we must have a talk, in private... Nabiki?" Nabiki nodded, and left the room, closing the door behind her. She grinned, wondering how Akane would take to Kasumi's list of wifely duties... More importantly, she wondered how Akane would react to Kasumi's little speech on The Wedding Night... "I only hope Kasumi gets Akane out of that wedding dress, first, before she wrecks it!" she mused. She walked past Ranma's door, then stopped, and went back. She knocked on the door, "Ranma? Can I talk to you?" "Hai!" She opened the door, and walked in. Ranma was dressed in his tuxedo, looking rather ... female. Nabiki looked up and down onna Ranma, "Oh, it does suit you, Ranma!" Ranma sighed, and looked out the window at a small piglet, near the pond, then looked back at Nabiki. The room seemed to have been through a flood... "Sorry, I had a little problem, but it's gone now..." She shook her head, squeezing water out of her red pig-tail. Nabiki nodded, and handed onna Ranma a kettle, which happened to be sitting near-by. Ranma poured it on herself, and changed, growing larger all round, loosing his curvy body, his hair turning black. "I don't suppose your father or mother ever talked to you about your Wedding Night?" Nabiki asked. Ranma dropped the kettle, face faulting, and blinked at her, "N-nani?" Nabiki grinned, "It looks like it is up to me to tell you, then. But first, how much money do you have on you?" [The Wedding Day, morning] Akane woke up, looking around nervously. She slowly got out of bed, and looked at her wedding dress. She sighed, and opened up her wardrobe, getting out some clothing for the morning. She put on her slippers, and wandered down to the bathroom. Ranma hadn't slept all night. He had spent most of the night worrying about the wedding. Maybe he was getting cold feet? But he thought he wanted to marry her... But he wasn't sure now... although... He shrugged, there was nothing he could do to stop it, and got out of bed. He glared at his sleeping father, then sighed. He picked up some clothing, and opened the door, heading for the bathroom... Nabiki had said that Kasumi would have a bath ready... Akane put down her clothing, and slowly stripped out of her nightie, standing there clad in only her panties. She stood looking in a mirror at herself, wondering if Ranma would like her body, as Kasumi had said he would. She blushed deeply, thinking of it. She looked at her young body in the mirror, comparing her curves to what she had seen of onna Ranma's naked body. she wondered. Then she pulled off her panties, and picked up a bucket of cold water, moving into the bathroom. She sighed as she sat down on the stool, and poured the water over her naked form. Ranma entered the changing room, and stripped silently. In his usual way, he entered the bathroom itself, not bothering to see if anyone was there. He stopped and stared, seeing Akane, naked, sitting on the stool, droplets of water running down her body. Apparently she had not heard him enter the room. He watched her stand up, still not turning towards him, and walk to the bath. His mouth went dry, and he felt stirrings in his manhood... He knew he should go, but he couldn't tear his eyes away from her body... He watched her sink into the bath, until only the back of her head was visible... Then he started to back out of the room... Akane heard a noise behind her, and turned around to see Ranma trying to walk backwards out of the room. Her face grew red as she noticed that he was naked... Her eyes moved down to his asoko, and her blush grew even deeper. She stared for a while, Ranma standing there, staring into her eyes, trapped like a rabbit caught in the headlights of an oncoming semi-trailer. "Uh... oh.. etoo..." he gulped, not being able to back up any further... Then her anger hit her. How dare he, that hentai! The sukebe was here, trying to see her naked body!! "RANMA NO BAKA!" she cried, and leapt out of the bath, flying towards him... Ranma stared at Akane as she leapt out of the pool. His mind telling him that he should run, his body keeping him there, watching her body... He stared at her bouncing breasts, then down to the triangle of dark hair at her sex... then back up to her breasts... Then she was there... *KaBLAM!* Ranma flew through the roof, flying up into the sky. Akane stood there, with her hand still in a fist, panting a little. Then it hit her, she had just bashed the man she would be marrying in a few hours... The man she would be naked with, tonight... She blushed deeply, and sighed. She left the bathroom, back to the change room, and got dressed. Then she picked up his clothing, and looked back at the bathroom, and the hole in the roof... Ranma, flying through the air, tried to fix his jaw, which seemed out of place. Luckily I'm going to land near Dr. Toufuu's clinic... In fact... "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Ranma smashed down, right through the roof of the clinic, landing on the floor. Ranma sat up, and scowled, "Uncute tomboy," he muttered. Then he looked up, and saw Dr. Toufuu was standing over him. "Ranma? Did you upset Akane again?" the doctor asked, "Well, I can help you with that jaw, but I'm not sure about the clothes..." Then Ranma remembered that he was naked. He blushed deeply, and muttered something about bathrooms and Akane, the macho chick. Dr. Toufuu smiled a little, and handed Ranma a towel to wrap around himself. Then he sat Ranma on the patient's table, and started working on his jaw. By the time Akane reached the clinic, after finding out where she had punted her iinazuke, Dr. Toufuu had finished with Ranma's jaw, setting it back in place "Ranma, you must learn to get on with your fiancee... After all, you are to be married in a few hours..." Akane blushed deeply, and knocked at the door. "Come in, Akane" called the doctor. Akane walked in, and sheepishly handed Ranma his clothes. Dr. Toufuu smiled, and waked out to the back room, leaving the two to try to work things out. Ranma took the clothing, and looked at Akane. Akane looked back... "..." Then Ranma sighed, and stood up, "I... I guess I shouldn't have... walked in on you..." Akane looked up, her face showing signs of shock. "Ranma? Are you okay? Did I hit you too hard?" "I... Well... You will be my w..wife soon... and..." Akane blushed, "I know... maybe I shouldn't have hit you... because..." They both trailed off into silence, not knowing what to do... Then Ranma dropped the towel, and slipped on his boxer shorts, blushing as he felt Akane's eyes on him. Then he put on the rest of his clothing, and walked to the door. Akane followed. They both walked back to the dojo in silence. [The Wedding Day, late morning. Akane's room] Akane walked up to her room with Kasumi, Nabiki and Nodoka. The women entered the room, and smiled at Akane. "Put this on!" Nabiki said, opening a box she had brought along with her. Akane looked into the box. In the box was some wispy, red material. Not much material, either. Akane frowned, wondering what it was. Nabiki pulled out the sexy red teddy, and held it against Akane. The red material was totally see-through, and was tiny! "Oh, my," said Kasumi. Nodoka blushed a little, but she smiled "You should try it on, Akane. It will be good for your marriage..." Akane blushed deeply, but tried it on anyway... It fitted her body tightly, the material pressing against her figure. It looked rather like someone had lightly covered Akane's body with red paint. The outfit was low-cut at the decolletage, but held Akane's breasts together, giving her a lot of cleavage that wasn't normally there. It was high cut around her hips, making her legs look longer. Her nipples, and the delta of hair at her sex was clearly visible... Akane blushed again, and sat down, trying to hide... "That's perfect, sis! Seduce him!" grinned Nabiki. She though, both embarrassed and a little angry at her sister having suggested that she should wear such a thing. "Oh, Nabiki... I think she should save that for her honeymoon, rather than tonight... I think that my son is not ready for that, just yet." said Nodoka, smiling at the embarrassed Akane. Akane blushed, reminded of the fact that she would be Ranma's wife. "Try on what I gave you last night," Kasumi smiled, and handed her the box. When Akane had changed, the three women nodded, and smiled, "Perfect!" "And also wear this," Nodoka said, and handed Akane a blue garter, edged with lace. "He has to take it off with his teeth." Nabiki winked. Akane stood, confused, but her anger had started to fade. She looked at herself in the mirror, and smiled a little. Then they helped her into her wedding dress, and got her ready for the ceremony... [The Wedding Day, late morning. Ranma's room] Ranma, his father and Soun stood together in the room, looking at Ranma, who was dressed in his tuxedo, looking rather dashing. "Why are we having a western wedding, oyaji?" asked Ranma, looking at himself in a mirror, flicking back his pig-tail. The panda held up a sign, "Why not? You had a Japanese engagement..." Soun nodded, "And also, Nabiki arranged it all rather cheaply. A Japanese ceremony would have cost a fortune, she said. With three daughters, and you two free loading house guests, it's all I can afford." Ranma rolled his eyes, and paced nervously. "Look, I don't know if I want to go through with this..." "You will, son!" the Panda held up the sign. Genma started writing furiously, "Or else you will..." Ranma took no notice of the signs, "I can't hear you, oyaji! You'll have to talk louder!" He pulled a face at his father. "Anyway, I can't do this. I'm going back to China, not hanging around here to marry a macho chick like her! She's totally sexless, uncute, a total klutz, a ditz... And she can't even cook! Suck on it, oyaji, I'm NOT marrying her!!" Soun looked up at Ranma, not too shocked by Ranma's usual reaction to his daughter. He stared at Ranma sternly, "Ranma, you will marry my daughter, and you will carry on the Tendou family legacy -" The door burst open, and Nodoka stood there, her katana drawn. Genma dropped the signs, and his pens, and rolled on his back, playing with a beach ball in his paws. Soun jumped back, looking at Nodoka in shock. Ranma just stood there, his mouth hanging open. "You will marry her, my son, or else, with this wakizashi, you will commit seppuku, and I will stand by and watch!" threatened Nodoka, holding out a short sword, and her unsheathed katana, aimed at Ranma. "And I *do* so want to have grandchildren..." Genma held up a sign to Soun, "See what I mean? That's all she went on about! I had to do something!!" Soun nodded, staring at the woman with the sword. "I see what you mean..." he whispered back. Ranma stared at her, nodding dumbly. With such threat, how could he not marry Akane? He closed his eyes, and gulped. Then his thoughts went back to Akane. He thought of her smiling face... Then the way she reacted when they were together, alone..How gentle she could be.. When she isn't being a klutz, that is! He thoughts turned to the wedding ceremony that would be held in a little while.. he said to himself. But was it just his mother's threat, or did he *want* to marry Akane...? [The Wedding Day, midday.] Ranma stood in the dojo, which looked like a church hall, rather than a training hall. He nervously stood in front of a minister, next to his father (who was in human form, wearing a tuxedo!) Nodoka, the matron of honour, stood up the back of the hall, katana in hand, dressed in a light pink silk dress. Nabiki sat on one of the rows of seats, and watched the goings on. Nodoka disappeared out the back, after making sure that everything was ready, and walked to Akane's room. Kasumi, Akane's bride's maid, stood with Akane, trying to sooth her out of her last minute jitters. Kasumi was dressed in a light pink dress, matching Nodoka's outfit, looking unusually pretty. Akane looked nervously at Nodoka, "Is e-everything ready? I.. I don't know if I can do this..." She shivered, thinking back on their life together. He teased her, called her names, said she was uncute, and too much like a man. She thought suddenly. Nodoka and Kasumi looked at each other. Cold feet. They nodded, then they smiled at her, "Akane, please come down with us..." "You at least go downstairs, and see what your father has done for you..." "Father will be so disappointed if you don't come..." "And I have a feeling that my son will be disappointed, too..." They slowly led her out of the room and down the stairs, Akane still thinking angry thoughts about Ranma. Soun met his daughter, just outside of the hall, looking rather proud and handsome in his tuxedo. He took her hand, and Nodoka and Kasumi fell in behind Akane, picking up her train. From inside, the bridal march started to play. Akane and her entourage started to move forward, into the dojo... [The Wedding] Akane walked slowly into the dojo. She looked nervously to see who was there. Dr. Toufuu sat on one of the chairs, near Nabiki. As he saw Kasumi,his glasses steamed up, and he looked almost as nervous as the bride and groom! Then Akane looked at Nabiki, who was holding a tape player which played the bridal march! Happousai stood at the other side of the room, staring at Akane, looking like he would burst into tears any minute. Either that, or go on a bra-raid. Mikado and Azusa sat there, watching her. She wondered what they were doing here... She seemed to recall something about Mikado turning up to every wedding - just to kiss the bride! At a few other seats, she saw some of her and Ranma's school friends. Akane blushed deeply, but her veil hid her face from them. It had been a shock when she had heard that her university friends had been told everything before she and Ranma had been informed! Then she looked again, wondering why she felt like something was missing from the people gathered in the room... She stared, upset. Why did her father want her to marry that jerk, Ranma? Then she looked at Ranma. He had turned to face her. She caught her breath, gazing at him. She almost faltered as she slowly walked forwards, but her father held on to her arm, walking with her. she thought. Her smile was hidden under the veil... Ranma gazed at Akane, staring at her feminine beauty... Beauty he never realised she had. He felt his mouth turn into a nervous smile. Under the veil, her eyes were shining... he thought, Both were stunned to realise that they did want to be married... To realise that they wanted to be together... That they cared about each other... Then, Akane found that she was standing next to Ranma. Soun let go of his daughter's arm, and stood back. Akane and Ranma gazed at each other... They hardly took notice of what the minister said, and just stared at each other.. Then the minister asked Ranma to answer a question... "Will you take Akane Tendou to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, in sickness and health, as long as you both shall live?" Ranma's mouth had gone dry. He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. "..." He tried again, "..." Akane looked at Ranma, her jaw tightening, anger building up. She stared at him, almost daring him to say no... Genma bapped Ranma on the back, and Ranma's voice came back, "I-I d-do..." Akane jumped, his words burning through her anger... "And will you, Akane Tendou, take Ranma Saotome to be your lawfully wedded husband? To love honour and cherish, as long as you both shall live?" "I d-do..." she whispered, her head nodded imperceptibly. They looked into each other's eyes, searching... As they stared at each other, their hearts beating faster in their chests... not daring to believe that they both had said yes... they found their love for the other... They gazed at each other for a long time, lost in each other's eyes... Then they were woken by the words "rings be presented?" Both almost panicked.But then Genma stood forward, and handed a ring to Ranma, and a ring to Akane. The minister took their hands, and folded Ranma's hand over Akane's. Ranma took the ring that he was holding, and slipped it on Akane's ring finger... It was a beautiful ring, small and delicate, with three layers of gold... In fact... Akane recognised it as the wedding ring belonging to her mother... Then it was her turn to put the ring on Ranma's finger... She slipped the ring onto his ring finger, and looked at the wide band of gold... Then she looked up, and stared into Ranma's eyes... "Is there anyone among us who has reason why these two should not be wed?" The silence lasted for an eternity... "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Ranma's hands trembled as he reached for Akane's veil, and slowly lifted it up... Her face was revealed, her eyes met his... slowly they moved their heads together... until their lips brushed... A shock ran through both of their bodies... then their lips pressed together in a gentle kiss... They broke the kiss as they heard people start to cry... Tears ran down Soun's face. Nodoka cried, smiling sweetly at the newlyweds while she and Kasumi threw confetti on the couple. Azusa ran about, trying to catch the confetti, naming each individual piece. Half of the girls were in tears. Genma watched on proudly, and Mikado stood by, sighing with joy at the ceremony. Ranma and Akane both looked back into each other's eyes... *BOOM* The door opened forcefully, the sliding door almost wrenched off it's tracks! Ryouga, Kunou, Shampoo, Ukyou and Kodachi jumped into the room. "NO!!!!!!!!" they cried, each taking up a fighting posture. Nabiki looked up at the group, "It's too late now... Oh? Did I put the wrong time on your invitations?" Some people moved a large, low table into the room, and put sitting mats down around it. Then others came in and put food down on the table. Ranma and Akane's friends moved over to the table and started to eat, talking among themselves. Ranma, Akane, and the group of now deflated late comers stood silently in the centre of the dojo. Mousse appeared, carrying a tray of drinks. He handed cups out to everyone, forcing cups of sake into the hands of those who didn't take it, muttering something about an old ghoul. Ranma and Akane looked at the sad group, and started to feel bad. "Uh... Gomen... I... We..." They just stood there, staring at the sad group, and each other... Then Ryouga took a sip of the drink... His mouth too dry to speak... He looked up in surprise at the drink, and stared at Ukyou... Ranma and Akane blinked, then watched as one after the other took a sip of the drink... Kunou drank, then sank down into a seat, looking at the floor. Shampoo sipped, and gave the cup back to Mousse, who walked past to collect her cup. She started to stare at him... Ukyou took a sip, then looked back at Ryouga... Kodachi sipped, then grabbed onto the passing Mikado, and gave him her cup. "Take this back for me, I don't like it," But she looked at him strangely. He looked at the drink, and eyebrow raised, "Only for a kiss, will I do such a service..." He wasn't very surprised (or didn't *act* very surprised) when Kodachi threw her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately, and deeply. He tasted from her lips, kissing her back, staring into her eyes... Nabiki walked up to Kunou, and tapped him on the shoulder, "I'll let you buy some pics of Akane in sexy lingerie, if you've got enough yen on you..." He looked up at her, and suddenly gasped, "Oh, beauty such as I have never seen! Please, fair maid, will you be mine?!" Cologne appeared, "Ahahahahhahahahahhah! You will all forget what happened! You have all drunk from the sake! I put a potion of forgetfulness in the sake! Ranma will be Shampoo's groom!" Nabiki looked over at Cologne, "Was it in a bottle like this?" she asked, holding up a silver bottle. Cologne looked at the bottle, "Err... Yes..." "Well, that's all right, then! I poured that down the sink. It didn't smell nice... No, that's a lie... I'm sure I put some of it in the water for the Ramen at your shop..." Nabiki started thinking back, mumbling, "And in the okonomiyaki mixture at Ukyou's shop... I think that I even found Ryouga, and gave him some... Oh, yes, and some of it went in Kunou-chan's meal, too... Maybe even Kodachi took some, too... Thank goodness for hired help... I would never have gotten it all done in time... It seems like it has worn off after only a day..." She trailed off... Cologne blinked, and Nabiki pulled out another bottle, "But I put some of this in instead... Kodachi seemed to have a lot lying about her room, so I was interested to see how it would work... She was going to use it on Ranma, but she seemed to have forgotten about the potion... But I only put it in those cups that Mousse was carrying... Hmmm... It seems to have worked rather well..." Everyone looked at the little group of warriors, who had so recently been so sad and full of anger... Ryouga and Ukyou were in each other's arms, kissing passionately. Kunou had knelt next to Nabiki, gazing up into her eyes. Shampoo had jumped into Mousse's arms, and was kissing him over and over, whispering to him in Chinese. Mousse looked rather happy. Kodachi had tied Mikado up with her gymnastic ribbon, and had laid him down on the floor, and was straddling him, kissing him deeply. Mikado kissed back, all of his charm and his attention focused on her. Akane and Ranma's school friends, Genma and Happousai shrugged, and went back to eating. Nodoka blushed a little, then turned to Kasumi and Soun, to talk and cry about the wedding. Dr. Toufuu wandered over, and picked up a cup, and tasted a little.He took off his glasses and polished them while contemplating the potion in the sake.When he put his glasses back on, Kasumi smiled at him, and waved him over to her. He looked at her and smiled. The potion seemed to have cured his almost violent reaction to seeing his beloved Kasumi! Ranma and Akane stood in the middle of the dojo, both looked shy and afraid. They glanced at each other, then both turned their gaze away, looking down at the floor... [Wedding Day, evening.] All of Akane and Ranma's friends left the dojo, waving goodbye to the newly weds. Happousai sneaked off on his nightly pantie-gathering rounds. Cologne shook her head, and watched Shampoo and Mousse, then left. "I'm sure I'll find an antidote for that love potion..." she muttered as she went. Soun, Nodoka, Kasumi and Dr. Toufuu waved goodbye to Ranma and Akane, leaving them alone in the dojo. "Be good to her, my son!" Nodoka called, with a bright smile, thinking of her own wedding night... Genma waved, "See you in one week!" "Try not to wreck the place before we get back!" cried Nabiki. She knew, just as the others did, that the couple would still fight as they usually did. But, just for a little while, she hoped that they would be peaceful, and happy together. She smiled to herself, and knew that they were on the way to becoming a loving couple... Kunou followed Nabiki, eyeing her dreamily... "Shall I carry you, beautiful maiden? How could a woman of your beauty taint yourself by walking on the soiled floor?" Dr. Toufuu walked with Kasumi... For a change, he acted like the good doctor he was, rather than the nervous wreck he became whenever Kasumi was about... Ryouga and Ukyou walked together, hand in hand, gazing into each other's eyes, full of a love that, until a few hours ago, was focused on others... Shampoo and Mousse walked together, Mousse, as always, gazing at Shampoo... But this time, Shampoo's love was for Mousse... Kodachi leapt along, laughing insanely, her ribbon tied around Mikado, pulling him along as he skated after her, on his roller blades... Azusa chased them crying "Michelle! Give me back Michelle! That ribbon it sooooo kawaii!!!" Nabiki hmmed to herself, while she watched the couples, and took out one of the spare bottles of love potion, thinking of a healthy profit margin... "C'mon Kunou-baby... Let's go." She wandered after them, Kunou following... [The Wedding Night] Ranma and Akane looked at each other, both blushing deeply, recalling the day's events, and talks given to them about this night. Ranma reached out, and gently took Akane's hand. She looked startled, but her hand closed around his... "I-I suppose we should.. go... upstairs..." Ranma looked nervously at his new wife. "H-hai... I suppose..." she bit her lower lip, and looked back at her new husband, just as nervous... Slowly they moved upstairs, and stopped at the top of the stairs. "Etoo... Which room...?" asked Ranma, looking between Akane's room, and the guest room, where he slept. "Anoo... M-mine?" Ranma nodded, and they slowly walked into the room. Akane shut the door behind her... They stared at each other, standing still, both waiting for the other to do something... "Ranma?" "Akane?" They both talked at the same time, then laughed nervously. Ranma stepped up to Akane, and gently squeezed her hand. "Akane... I suppose we should... do something... if you want to..." Akane nodded quietly, "Hai... we should..." They stood together, looking at each other, waiting... Then they found themselves moving closer together, their lips almost touching... They stopped and stared into each other's eyes... then their lips touched... Ranma's arms slipped around Akane's waist, holding her gently against him. Akane put her arms around his neck. They kissed tenderly, their lips together in a real kiss... Then the kiss ended, and they gazed into each other's eyes... Both conscious of the other's body pressing against their own... With no need for words, Ranma slowly removed Akane's veil, and put it to one side... his arms reached behind her, slowly unzipping her dress... She shivered against him, and he stopped to hold her close... their lips touched again, sending pleasant shivers through their bodies... Ranma's hand continued to unzip Akane's wedding dress... They pulled apart, and blushed, smiling shyly at each other... Ranma reached out, and tugged a little at Akane's wedding dress... It slipped off her skin, and fell to the floor... She stepped out of it... Ranma stared... Akane was clad in sexy lingerie, given to her by Kasumi last night... Her soft creamy skin was covered only by small pieces of material... A white strapless, lace bra, some matching, high-cut, lace panties, a lace suspender belt, white stockings and a blue garter... His eyes moved up and down her body, down from her large dark eyes... down to her creamy neck... her shoulders... the smooth skin of her arms... His eyes drawn to her small rounded breasts, covered only by the thin, lacy bra... her nipples, dark patches under the white fabric... his gaze lingered longingly over her breasts, then moved downwards, over her flat stomach... her small waist... down to her white, lace panties... as his eyes ran over her panties, he noticed the dark patch of her sex... He gulped audibly... then his eyes swept down her long, sexy, smooth legs, before travelling up her body, back to gaze into her eyes... "A-akane... you are... beautiful..." She blushed deeply both at his gaze, and at the compliment... Akane moved closer to Ranma, and quietly removed his tuxedo, bow tie and cummerbund... Ranma, recovering some form of movement, and helped Akane to undo his shirt, slipping it off. He reached to unfasten his pants, then paused, embarrassed, feeling how much Akane had excited him... "I-is there something wrong...?" Akane asked, still blushing... her eyes gazing at his bare, muscled chest, his wash-board stomach... down to his pants... then up to his eyes. "Uh... n-no..." He slid off his pants, and stood in front of her, wearing only his boxer shorts. Akane gently took his hand again, and moved to sit down on the bed, pulling Ranma down next to her. They sat close together, and kissed again, and again. Each kiss becoming longer, and more passionate. Ranma held Akane close, his hand running up and down her smooth back... As he touched her bra, he unfastened it, fumbling a little. Her bra fell down, between them... Ranma looked down, gasping softly... he moved a hand from behind her to gently touch her naked breasts... But he hesitated, and looked up into her eyes... Akane, still blushing, nodded her head gently... Ranma's hand touched one of her breasts, caressing it softly... Her eyes closed, and she gasped softly... Ranma bent his head down to kiss her neck... her shoulders... then to kiss her other breast... He took her nipple in his mouth, and suckled gently... Akane gasped again, and leant back, laying her head back on her pillow... "Ra..n..ma.." she gasped softly... Her heart pounding faster in her chest, her pulse rapid... Ranma's breathing grew increasingly ragged and deep. A soft moan escaped his lips... his tongue swirled over her hardening nipple... Ranma had hardly believed Nabiki when she was saying these things about Akane, and how she would react. He started to wonder how Nabiki knew such things, when he felt Akane's hands at his head, holding him to her breasts, her back arching, pushing her breasts up for his touch... He gently pinched at her nipple with his fingers, while lightly pulling at her other with his teeth... Akane gasped again, and pushed up... Another moan escaped Ranma's lips, this time it was stifled by Akane's soft, warm body... Akane, pushed up against Ranma, pleasure running through her body, felt something hot and hard pressing into her inner thigh... She lifted up her body, and pressed into him, her body heating... She enjoyed the feeling of him laying on top of her... Then she felt a tingling sensation between her legs, at her sex... She collapsed back down on the bed, her hands lifted up Ranma's head... "Ranma..." she gasped... "Oh, Ranma..." and pulled him up for a deep, passionate kiss... Her hands ran down his back... then start tugging at his boxer shorts, trying to pull them from his masculine body... Ranma, felt her hands tugging at his last remaining piece of clothing... He helped her, pulling them off his body... throwing them aside... He lay on top of her - naked, hot and very excited by her closeness and her half naked body... He then sat back up, pulling Akane up with him... he reached down, and started trying to remove Akane's panties... "Ranma... Take off my garter first..." she whispered. As he moved to pull it off her thigh, she shook her head, "With your teeth..." Ranma's eyes widened, but he bent over her leg, and took hold of the garter with his teeth, tugging it down... He felt even more excited by how close his head was to her sex... But he managed to pull the garter down to her knees, then slipped it off with his hand. He gently kissed her thighs, then reached up to remove her panties again... He felt her hands helping him, removing her suspender belt... She moved away from him, taking off her stockings... He looked down at her, then quickly reached forward, and slipped off her panties... Laying back down on the bed, Akane looked up at him, her eyes running over his naked, well defined body... Her eyes running down to his manhood... Hot, hard and erect before her... Her eyes opened wide as she stared... Slowly, hesitantly, she reached forward... she stopped just before touching him... Ranma moaned softly in anticipation of her touch... then he saw her hesitate, looking almost afraid to touch his manhood... He gently took her hand in his, and gently pressed her hand to his hot asoko... She curled her fingers around him, then slowly moved her hand up and down his length... He groaned in pleasure, "Ohhhhhhh... A...ka...ne...." His hips starting to rock... His hand still on hers, showing her his rhythm... Akane moved her hand up and down his length to his rhythm... Feeling his hot hardness in her hands... she concentrated on him... Suddenly she moaned in pure pleasure as his other hand pressed against her clitoris, moving to the same rhythm, stroking in gentle circles. Her hips rocked, moving in response to the pleasure... Soon, Ranma pulled himself away from her touch, knowing he could not take much more of her touch before he went over the edge... "Akane," he gasped, "Let me touch you..." He knelt back down between her legs, and gazed into her face... then his eyes travelled down, between her legs... His fingers started to search her, slowly parting her petals.. his eyes gazed at her sex, finding her pink and moist... his eyes moved to her opening... He slid a finger down there, feeling her hot and wet... Akane gasped, her eyes closed, excited by his every touch... Pleasure running through her body... "Ohh... Ranma..." she gasped... the tingling at her sex got stronger and stronger, the pleasure got greater and greater... She opened her eyes, and looked at him as he concentrated on giving her pleasure... She reached for him, pulling him back down against her, her lips kissing his deeply... She felt his lips respond to her kiss... Then she felt his hard manhood at her sex... Ranma's hips rocked against Akane's, both of them rocked in time to the hidden rhythm... their hips met, pulled back, meeting again... But each time he pushed forwards, he fumbled, missing her entrance... He reached down, between her thighs, and gently parted her legs... Then he moaned again, as he felt her take hold of him... she guided him to her entrance... Then they rocked together, and he drove deep within her, feeling a little resistance, then a little trickle of fluid, and then the pure pleasure of her tightness surrounding his manhood as he thrust deep within her... Akane cried out, tears in her eyes as she felt the pain of him breaking into her virgin body... Then she felt pleasure, a thousand times greater as he thrust all the way inside her... Then he stopped, his hips against hers... She looked up into his eyes... "A-are you okay? D-did I hurt you..?" he asked quietly, concern for her in his voice... his breathing fast, his breath hot against her cheek... "No... Ohhhh... Keep going... It's all right... Motto..." she gasped back, her body crying out for him... Then his hips moved, pulling back... She felt his arms around her, holding her close... Her arms held on to him tightly... Revelling in her tightness and wetness, he pushed back into her, thrusting deeply... each thrust driving deeper into her wonderful body... He heard her moan in total ecstasy, just as she heard him groaning in pleasure... They rocked together against each other, the rhythm speeding up, their bodies melding into one... Both clung onto each other in the throes of passion... and in newly discovered love... Ranma pushed his hips harder against Akane's, thrusting deep into her, his manhood pushing through her tightness, penetrating her deeply... Akane pushed back, her hips pushing up harder each time, impaling herself on his hardness, pulling back, only to have him thrust inside her again as she pushed her hips upwards, against his...They rocked against each other, their hips grinding... pumping... their bodies damp with perspiration, both groaning in pure ecstasy at the pleasure they gave each other... Then they both reach their peak. Akane's body shuddered beneath Ranma's, his body trembled a little on hers... She grabbed hold of him, her fingers digging into his back, her legs wrapped around his hips, holding him tightly... A sudden gush of her honey covered his manhood, just as his hot wet seed seemed to explode inside her... Their cries echoed through the house, their pleasure and love expressed in the combined cry... "RANMA!" "AKANE!" Ranma collapsed against Akane's soft, warm body, his manhood deep inside her... They held each other with tenderness, and gentleness... Akane started to cry, tears of joy running down her face... Somehow, Ranma understood, and held her tenderly while she cried... then he kissed away her tears, his lips tasting the salt from her tears... Then he rested, his head pillowed on her breasts.. She gently stroked his hair... "I love you..." they whisper, together... then they smiled lovingly at each other, both blushing, and snuggled together in the warmth of each other's bodies, and in the warmth of their love... After a while, Akane turned to Ranma, starting to blush again... "Ranma...?" He smiles, looking into her eyes, "Hai, my wife?" He blushed as he called her his 'wife'. "Ranma.. I want to give you pleasure.. in your female form, too, my husband.. I have always been... curious..." She gulped and stared back into his eyes... Ranma coloured deeply. "I... If you want..." Akane smiled, and took his hand. Ranma pulled himself out of Akane's body, moaning softly, missing being inside her. They both sat up, and got out of the bed. She stood up, and led him downstairs to the bathroom. She filled a bucket of water, feeling his eyes gazing at her naked body... She blushed, and walked over to him, kissed him deeply, and poured the cold water over Ranma. Ranma's body grew smaller, more curved, his hair turned red. Onna Ranma stood naked, in front of Akane, shivering. Akane put her arms around her, pressing her naked body to Ranma's cold body, heating her up. Onna Ranma sighed softly, feeling the warm curves of Akane's naked body press against her. Ranma kissed Akane deeply and passionately, then she picked her up, and carried her back to Akane's bedroom. Ranma laid Akane down on the bed, then lay down next to her. A kettle of hot water was set down by the bed... Akane gazed into the eyes of her husband, then at onna Ranma's naked body. Akane pressed soft lips to Ranma's neck, kissing tenderly. She kissed a trail of hot kissed across Ranma's shoulders, then moved down to kiss her breasts... Copying what Ranma had done to her, Akane kissed to one of onna Ranma's nipples, then took it in her mouth, sucking and licking it, feeling it go hard in her mouth. She used one hand to massage Ranma's other breast, her fingers gently playing with Ranma's other nipple. Akane smiled to herself as she heard Ranma moan in pleasure. Ranma, surprised by the way his female body could make him feel, moaned loudly, pushing herself up to Akane's lips and touch. Ranma's body shivered a little, this time not because of the cold. A warm tingling sensation was building up down at her sex. Her feelings were similar to the feelings that his male body gave him, but this was different... But good... He groaned again, hearing his voice groaning in a soft female sound. Akane let go of Ranma's breast, and worked that hand slowly down Ranma's side, feeling the curve of her female body. Her mouth moved to Ranma's other breast, and suckled at the other nipple... Her hand reached Ranma's hip, and moved slowly inward... She felt Ranma shiver as her hand brushed against the delta of red hair at Ranma's sex. Then she moved her hand down, moving to Ranma's inner thighs. Ranma moaned again. She pushed her hips up to Akane, wanting her hand to touch that tingling sensation... But Akane's hand only ran up and down her inner thighs... Frustrated, but enjoying every touch, Ranma gently pressed her hands on Akane's head, pushing her down to her sex... "Akane... Ohhhh... Don't tease..." she groaned... Akane looked up at Ranma, and smiled. She moved down, between Ranma's legs, and parted them a little further. She gazed between Ranma's parted legs, and gently ran her hand up and down Ranma's inner thighs again. Then she slid her hand right up her husband's inner thigh... Gently she ran a finger over Ranma's clitoris... She smiled again, hearing Ranma gasp and cry out in pleasure. Then she began circling her finger around Ranma's clitoris, moving at a slow pace. Ranma started rocking her hips in pleasure.. Ranma moaned and rocked her hips, "Ohhhh... Akane... This is sooooo good... Ohhhhhhhhhhh..." Akane then slowly moved her other hand to Ranma's entrance. She gently parted Ranma's petals, feeling the warmth and wetness there. Akane smiled, and gently pushed her finger a little way into Ranma's opening. Ranma's body shook a little, and onna Ranma groaned... Akane continued to gently search inside Ranma... She pushed her finger in a little more, and felt Ranma's tightness and wetness surrounding her finger. Ranma's eyes opened wide as he felt Akane's finger slide inside her entrance. He gasped, more female sounds issuing from his mouth... His hips rocked, and he felt himself want her inside him... He groaned and gasped, his breathing hot and fast... Akane felt Ranma's hips rock against her hand, and she took her finger from onna Ranma's clitoris... then lent down, and pressed her mouth there, instead... Her tongue licked feverishly at Ranma's clitoris... Hearing Ranma moan, she licked harder, sucking gently every so often. As Ranma's hips rocked, Akane felt her finger being driven deeper within Ranma... But she was stopped at Ranma's barrier... She pulled her finger back out, and then pushed back in, a little way, with two fingers... Akane lifted up her head, "Ranma... This will hurt, a bit..." she whispered, "But I can't give you real pleasure until this is gone..." Ranma nodded slowly, just wanting his wife to give him more pleasure, her hips still rocking... Akane pressed her mouth back down over Ranma's clitoris, and licked again... Her hand felt Ranma's rocking rhythm, and matched it, pushing in a little further each time... Then, with a sudden sharp movement, Akane thrust her two fingers forward as Ranma's hips met her hand, and she broke through Ranma's virginal opening, her fingers still travelling deeper within Ranma's tight opening. Ranma cried out, a little from the shock and the pain. But Akane's fingers pulled back, then drove deep inside her again, and she moaned in pleasure, the pain forgotten... Her hips rocked faster and faster, Akane's tongue and fingers matching Ranma's rhythm... Ranma groaned and rocked, and moved faster and faster, reaching her climax... Her body shuddered, and Ranma grabbed handfuls of the bedclothes, and cried out Akane's name. Akane heard onna Ranma cry out her name, felt her body shudder, then felt a warm gush of sticky liquid stream out between her fingers... Akane lapped up some of Ranma's honey as it flowed... Then when the flow stopped, Akane removed her finger, and raised her head,watching the pleasure on onna Ranma's face. Akane slid up her body, and kissed her tenderly, wrapping her arms around her. Ranma smiled at her, her eyes filling with tears... They rested.. Soon they kissed again, and held each other tightly... Ranma smiled, "Akane, my love..." Akane smiled back, and blushed, then reached over, and handed the kettle to Ranma, who poured hot water over herself... and changed back into a man... He put the kettle down again, and held Akane gently in his arms. They snuggled together in the warmth... A little while later, they started making love again... changing positions each time, trying to find the best way to give each other pleasure... Their cries rang out through the night... At dawn, they lay quietly in each other's arms, starting to fall asleep... Their bodies were drained, but both of them were fulfilled... and filled with joy and new love... Drowsily, Akane thought of the teddy Nabiki had given her... she smiled, thinking of what Ranma's reaction to that outfit would be like... Ranma just gazed at Akane, sighing with pleasure as his eyes ran over her beautiful form... "You are beautiful..." he murmured in her ear... Soon, they fell asleep as husband and wife... Akane and Ranma Saotome... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ranma nibun no ichi - The Wedding [Epilogue] _____________________________________________________________________________ [7th, late morning] Akane moved a little, starting to wake up. She snuggled, her body pressing against something warm. She opened her eyes, and blinkblinked, seeing Ranma sleeping beside her. She sat bolt upright, staring at him. He was naked... And he was mokkori! Anger started to fill her. Memories of her wedding, and last night flooded her mind... She relaxed, and lay back down, resting her head on her husband's shoulder, her hand on his chest. She smiled, watching him sleep... Ranma, woke slowly, his head filled with dreams of Akane. He mmmmed, his arms wrapping around Akane's soft body. Slowly something filtered down into his brain. He opened his eyes,and shook his head to clear his mind. Then he saw Akane, in his arms, looking up into his face, smiling... His body froze on him, and he stared at her... He saw her moving her face close to his, and felt her soft lips on his... He sighed a soft, happy sigh, recalling their wedding... recalling last night... His body relaxed, and he held her close, kissing her back, deeply... [7th, late afternoon] Down at the low table, Akane and Ranma sat, eating some of the cooking that Kasumi had left them. They sat smiling, snuggling against each other, resting after the last few hours of love making. Akane then stood up, "Wait there..." she said, and walked to the kitchen. Ranma watched her enter the kitchen, smiling after her... Suddenly he started to sweat. He started to panic, jumping up, and following her into the kitchen. Akane had a kettle in her hand, and was filling it full of cold water, she turned around, and saw Ranma at the door, looking very nervous. Before she could say anything, he asked, "Can I help you c-cook?" Akane frowned at him, anger growing inside. "I can cook fine by myself!!" she yelled, her face red with anger. Ranma opened his big mouth without thinking, as per normal, "Cook? I'd die if I ate more of that slop you call cooking!" "Ranma no baka!!" Suddenly, Ranma realised that he didn't want to hurt Akane like this, any more. He wanted to have her in his arms, not be at the receiving end of one of her punches. He stood there, in front of her, his head down. "Sorry, Akane... I... I don't mean that..." Just before Akane punched Ranma out of the kitchen, the apology sunk in, through her anger. She slowed down, and stopped in front of Ranma, who stood there, waiting for her to hit him. "Ranma?" she asked. Ranma opened his eyes, and reached out, putting his hand on her shoulder. "Akane," he said, looking deeply into her eyes, "I don't think before I say things... And I am insensitive. I know that makes me seem like a jerk... But I just open my mouth, and these words come out. I'm sorry... But I give you my word that I will try to be a good husband to you. I love you, Akane..." Akane felt dizzy, listening to his speech. She stared into his eyes, hardly believing that Ranma would be saying such things to her. "Ranma... I... I... Thank you... I guess I must not be all that easy to live with... I get upset too easily, and react too violently... And *sigh* I know that I am not a good cook... But I want to do things for you... I want to be a good wife... That is because I love you, too..." They both stared into each others eyes, then moved into a tender hug. "You know," said Ranma thoughtfully, "You're not cute." Akane blinked, and started to pull away from him, getting angry... "You're not cute - you're beautiful, Mrs. Saotome" He smiled down at her, as her anger faded, and her deep feelings of love took its place. They kissed gently, holding on to each other, then walked back upstairs to the bedroom... _____________________________________________________________________________ To be continued...
