[Warning: Lemon Fanfic] All characters portrayed in this fanfic are copyright of Rumiko Takahashi and Shogakukan Inc. etc, etc, etc... _____________________________________________________________________________ [Akane & Ranma's Room] Akane sat on the bed, nursing Miyabi. The little baby girl had grown extremely quickly in the last year, and she was already attempting to walk. She was also remarkably strong for her age, which did not help when combined with her mobility and curiosity. Ranma and Akane had learned to keep a lot of things out of her way. At least they didn't own anything breakable, as anything that Miyabi would be able to break had already been broken by Akane, mostly over Ranma's head. Miyabi cooed in her mother's arms, tugging at her clothing. "Mama," she gurgled in baby talk. Akane smiled down and kissed the top of her daughter's head, "Papa will be here soon, Miya-chan." She smiled as Miyabi called out, "Papa!" She stroked Miyabi's soft, dark hair, "Then we can see your grandparents!" Miyabi gurgled happily, starting to bounce in Akane's lap and playing with the tassels on her jumper. The door opened. Ranma walked in and dumped his books on the table, smiling at his wife and daughter, "Tadaima!" As Akane got up, Ranma took Miyabi from her, swung her around, then hugged her to him, "How's my little Miya-chan?" Miyabi giggled, loving having her father play games with her. She wrapped her small arms around his neck, grabbing his pigtail with one hand. "Papa!" She tugged at his hair. Ranma tickled her with a hand, wincing a little, "Itee... She's got your brute strength, Akane!" Akane stuck her tongue out at Ranma, "At least she doesn't have your brains!" Ranma made a face back at Akane, causing Miyabi to giggle more. "Let's get going... Everyone'll be waiting for us." Ranma nodded and, taking Akane's hand with his free hand and, still carrying Miyabi with the other, left their rooms. [The Tendou Doujou] Everyone was gathered in the doujou for Miyabi's first birthday. There was a table laden with food, and it was obvious that Kasumi and Nodoka had been busy all day, preparing for the party. Ukyou, Ryouga, Shampoo, Mousse, Kodachi, Mikado, Nabiki, Kunou, Azusa, Nodoka, Genma, Kasumi, Toufuu-sensei, Souun, Gosunkugi and chibi Hinako-sensei were all there, mingling or eating the over abundance of food on the table. Ranma and Akane soon entered, carrying their little girl. Miyabi was soon the centre of attention, just about everyone wanting to hold her or play with her. Azusa was kept well clear of her. Only Ryouga hung back from playing with Miyabi. "What's wrong, Ryouga-kun?" Akane asked, sitting down beside him. "W-wrong? Nothing, Akane-san!" "Well, I've noticed you here, all alone, while everyone else is playing with Miya-chan." Ryouga blushed a little, twiddling his fingers and looking at the floor, "I... I'm just no good with children, Akane-san. I'd drop her or something." Ranma suddenly appeared next to Akane, "If Akane, the biggest klutz in all of Japan, can hold her without dropping her, you *should* be able to manage!" Akane growled and elbowed Ranma in the face, without even looking. "You and Ukyou will have children of your own one day. You'll be a great father." Ryouga blushed even deeper. Ranma sat up, twitching, "If he can find his kid!" Akane ground her foot into Ranma's sternum and he shut up. "Ryouga-kun, hold Miyabi," called Ukyou, joining the small group. She held out Miyabi to Ryouga, smiling lovingly at her fiancee. Ryouga reached out, fearfully taking the beautiful baby girl in his arms, scared that he might hurt her, "She's so beautiful... She looks just like her mother..." An "Oi! Stop flirting with my wife! Oof!" came from the floor. Akane's foot had landed solidly in Ranma's stomach again. Miyabi looked up and giggled as she reached up to tug at Ryouga's top, cooing something in baby talk. Ryouga smiled at her, loving the little girl already. He pulled a face at her, sending her into more peals of laughter. Before long, the two were playing happily, Miyabi talking to him in baby talk. Ukyou smiled at Ryouga and Miyabi as she watched them. "He's so good with children, ne Akane-chan?" She smiled happily, "He's so sweet." Akane looked at Ukyou, "You two would make great parents, you know. Ryouga's so protective, he'd look after you and your family very well." Ukyou nodded, "I'd love to have a child. Seeing you and Ran-chan with Miyabi... But Ryouga won't make love to me until we're married. No matter how much I try!" She giggled softly. Akane giggled too, blushing slightly. "Have you set a date yet?" "At the end of spring," Ukyou replied, with a happy sigh. "You think Ryouga'd find the wedding hall by then?" came a disembodied voice from the floor. This time it was stopped by a large spatula. Akane smiled, then stooped down and helped Ranma 'the doormat' up. She dusted down his clothes, then poked him in the ribs, "You have to learn to keep your mouth shut. But don't get too jealous of Ryouga-kun, you're the one who looks after *our* family... and you're a much better father than I thought you ever could be." She giggled as Ranma blushed and frowned, not knowing how to take Akane's compliment. Ranma grumbled, but watched Ryouga and Miyabi, "You know, for a guy who never saw his family for more than a day a year, if that, he's not too bad with kids." Akane and Ukyou both smiled. Then Ranma piped up again, "Hey Miyabi, it's 'Uncle P-chan!' Okay? Call him 'Uncle P-chan'!" Ranma was floored again by the aforementioned spatula. Ryouga continued swinging Miyabi around as she gurgled happily. Ukyou, Akane and Ranma eventually rejoined the party, leaving Miyabi with Ryouga. [The Tendou Doujou, Later] Most of the party had died down. Genma and Souun were playing shogi. Nodoka was nursing Miyabi, in her lap. Gosunkugi was trying to explain magic to Hinako-sensei, who wanted him to do tricks for her. Toufuu and Kasumi sat with Nabiki and Kunou. Kasumi was resting her head on the doctor's shoulder, while Nabiki sat stroking Kunou's hair as he lay with his head in her lap. Shampoo and Mousse sat at the door, gazing up at the starry sky. Ryouga and Ukyou sat, talking with Akane and Ranma. Occasionally one of the girls hit Ranma or Ryouga as they started to argue. All in all, it was a very quiet conversation for them. Kodachi and Mikado were kissing, while Azusa thumped Mikado, again and again, vainly trying to gain his attention. Suddenly Azusa spied a very cute stuffed pig moving silently into the doujou, past Shampoo and Mousse. She stared at it through large, blue, clueless eyes. "Waiwai! Kono buta wa totemo kawaii!! Angelique!!!" She jumped up and bouncied over to the stuffed toy, glomping onto it, hard. Mikado, relieved to have Azusa gone, took Kodachi in his arms and started kissing her in earnest. A muffled yelp came from the toy as Azusa literally squeezed the stuffings out of it. A head popped out from where the pig's head was, "Itee! Not so hard!" Azusa blinked at the face, "Angelique grow kawaii girl's face." The girl in the tattered remnants of the stuffed pig jumped out. She had long, light brown hair, large sparkling eyes, and a bow in her hair. She was dressed in a pink dress of such kawaii proportions that it matched Azusa's dress. "Shitsureishimasu. Have you seen Ukyou-sama?" At her name, Ukyou froze. She looked up. "Damn! It's that freak, Tsubasa!" Everyone except Mikado and Kodachi looked up, and stared at the strange girl. Tsubasa spotted Ukyou, and jumped over towards her, "Ukyou-sama! I found you!" Tsubasa was about to have a meeting with Ukyou's fighting spatula when Azusa grabbed her, pulling her back, "Angelique stay with Azusa!" The strange girl blinked and looked at Azusa. she thought. "Okay, but my name's Tsubasa." Azusa pouted, "Angelique." "Anou... Tsubasa Kurenai." "Angelique." Tsubasa gave up and bouncied kawaii'ly, "Will you go on a date with me?" she asked, trying to look her cutest. Ranma gaped, "Don't tell me Tsubasa's hitting on Azusa now..." Akane and Ukyou stared, "..." Everyone else just stared in shock at the two as Azusa nodded, and started bouncing around with Tsubasa. Suddenly Tsubasa noticed people staring at her. She smiled even more cutely, "It's okay, I'm a guy!" Half the room face-faulted. [The Tendou Doujou, Evening] Tsubasa, cross dresser extrordinaire, was giggling happily with Azusa as they chattered inanely. By this time, people had started drifting home. Only the family, Mikado, the Kunou siblings, Ukyou, Ryouga, Shampoo and Mousse were still there. Nodoka had put Miyabi to bed in the cot in the guest room, where she and Genma were sleeping. She wanted to give Ranma and Akane some time alone together. Besides, she also wanted to spend some time with her granddaughter. Shampoo tugged at Mousse's sleeve, "Mousse, we leave now?" She gave a wink, "Hiibaa-chan still away, so Shampoo give something special to groom." Mousse grinned, "I guess I'm going now." He managed to take Shampoo's hand even without his glasses on. But as he led her out, he walked straight into the pond. A very wet duck and cat clambered out the other side, and raced towards the Nekohanten. Eventually Kodachi and Mikado joined everyone who was left. "Oniisama, let us depart." Kunou nodded and looked at Nabiki, "'Tis indeed a source of great sorrow that I must leave your side, even for a minute, my princess of yen." Nabiki gave a lopsided smile, "Just get home, Tacchi. I'll see you before too long." "What you see in that money-grabbing creature I will never know, oniisama." sighed Kodachi. She turned and left, taking Mikado with her. Kunou had no choice but to follow them. Kasumi smiled at Nabiki, "You should marry that sweet boy soon, Nabiki." Nabiki nodded a little, "Yeah, I know. But traditional weddings are *so* expensive. And I sort of do want to buy the wedding kimono with my own money... since it's so special..." Kasumi smiled at her, "Everything will work out..." Ukyou slid an arm around Ryouga's waist, "Let's get going as well, Ryouga-kun." Ryouga blushed, still shy at expressing his affections in public. "Hai, Ukyou-chan." They wandered outside together, Ryouga sliding his arm around Ukyou to shield her from the cool night air. Genma and Souun continued playing shogi, both cheating at every opportunity. Toufuu-sensei kissed Kasumi lightly, "I'll see you again tomorrow, Kasumi." Then, he too, took his leave. By now, only the family was left. Nodoka smiled at Ranma and Akane, "Go home, you two. You can have the place to yourselves for a few nights." Akane smiled at her mother-in-law, "Thank you so much. We really appreciate this." Ranma nodded in agreement. Nodoka smiled understandingly, "Go see Miyabi again, then get home." Akane nodded, then she and Ranma made their way from the doujou to the house, then upstairs and into Ranma's old room. Miyabi was asleep in the old cot set up in the corner. Her parents stood close by, and Akane kissed her gently. "Mama and Papa will see you in a little while, Miyabi." She smiled tenderly as Ranma kissed their child's forehead. "Be a good girl, Miya-chan," he said in a whisper, then placed a small stuffed panda next to her. "Happy birthday, little one." Eventually, they left their daughter, walking back to their university rooms. [Akane & Ranma's Room, Night] Ranma stretched, smiling at Akane, who was reclining on their futon. His taut muscles flexed as he moved his arms back, attracting his wife's gaze to his firm body. He watched her eyes slide down his form, taking in every detail of his body. As she looked back up to his face, he flicked his pigtail back, then slipped down onto the futon, next to her. She reached up to him, running her fingertips along his cheek. "Mmm... Ranma, our first night alone in such a long time..." He kissed her softly, running a hand down the soft skin of her torso, over the rise of her breasts. "We'll have to take each moment of this time as if it were our last, then." She shivered a little, sighing happily. Her hands ran down to his shoulders, pulling him down against her. His naked body felt wonderful against hers. She started to slowly rock herself under him, enjoying how he felt. Ranma moved his knees between her thighs, slowly parting her long, smooth legs so he rested between her. He closed his eyes, loving her gentle rocking motions under him. He gasped ever so softly as her skin sent tingles through his body. He pressed his lips against hers, harder, kissing her with more and more passion... his lips parting, his tongue flicking around her lips, then into her sweet mouth where her tongue met his... Akane tightened her grip around his shoulders, moaning into his mouth as she moved... feeling his throbbing manhood pressed against her stomach. She knew how turned on he was... and the feeling was affecting her. Her sex began to tingle, her need working through her... Before long, Ranma started rocking against her, his arms wrapping around her waist... As his length rubbed against the soft skin of her stomach, shivers of pleasure flooded through him. He opened his eyes to stare into her face. She was flushed with pleasure, her lips parted to pant softly. Her eyes met his, shining with happiness... "Ohh, Akane..." he moaned, "I need you so much..." "Ranma..." she whispered, running her hands down his back, stroking his skin as she touched him... He slid a hand down, stroking her velvety skin, under her well rounded rear...then he slipped his hand around to her hip, running a fingertip down her thigh... and slowly slid it over to her inner thigh... She trembled as he stroked her tender skin, parting her legs a little further so he could run his finger past his hips, then slowly up to the soft, dark hair of her sex. Akane arched her back, trapping Ranma's length against her skin as Ranma ran his finger down, between them, stroking his way down to her pink flower. Ever so gently he parted her petals, a finger dipping into the sweet, warm, wet opening he found there. As she groaned that familiar moan, he let go of her petals, stroking a finger to her clit. He kissed her deeply, letting her cry of pleasure vibrate in his mouth... Her lips held his as she cried out, her body growing much hotter from his gentle touch. She couldn't help but buck her hips against his as his fingers probed her... she could feel his need, too... "Ran...ma.... I... Oh, so goooooood..." she moaned. Ranma's heart beat fast, matching the speed of Akane's heart beat, as their chests pressed together, her breasts pushing up against him... her hard, pink nipples pressing into his chest. He gritted his teeth as his need grew stronger, wanting to pleasure his wife totally before he gave in... "A...akane..." Akane leaned her head back into the pillow, pushing herself up against him. Her hands tightened around his shoulders, rocking her hips faster... She let out a soft whimper as his finger plunged into her yet again, "R..Ranma... I... I need you... now..." He shivered, and nodded... manouvering himself till the tip of his asoko pressed up against her opening, his fingers, covered in her honey, moving aside... and thrust up into her, not being able to hold off any more. A loud groan escaped his lips, their kiss broken... "Aaaaaaaaaaaah!" Akane cried as he pushed deep into her with a single thrust. She held him tighter yet, pushing her hips up against him, grinding them to him as they met... Ranma's weight almost pinned Akane to the futon as he rocked on her womanly form, plunging deep into her tight opening, again and again... Pushing into her as her tight, velvet-like warmth sent him into ecstasy... he pushed hard into her, her inner walls squeezing around his length as they rocked together... He shuddered, not minding her honey splashing out against him as he pushed into her tight sex, making soft squelching sounds... Akane groaned, throwing her head to the side as they rocked, their bodies moving together faster... harder... Feeling her juices flowing out, she gasped louder, the warm juices sending tingles through her... Their bodies moved together, faster... their hips almost slamming together as the passion and need took over... As their bodies swayed, they started rocking side to side... eventually Akane pushing up too hard, rolling Ranma over... but still they rocked together, captured in their passionate love making. Rolling around the futon, taking no notice of anything but their feelings, Akane and Ranma continued rocking against each other, their bodies pressing hard against the others, moving, swaying... both of them dripping with sweat... Ranma rolled back on top of Akane as he thrust in... their momentum continuing the roll... and they fell off the futon onto the floor. Landing on his back, still holding Akane, Ranma took no notice of the hard floor, not being able to tear himself away from this love making... They continued kissing, Ranma's manhood thrusting deeply into her sex, feeling her inner walls tightening around him... Then Akane shuddered... Ranma's eyes opened as he felt her vaginal walls clamping around his asoko, the feeling of her walls fluctuating around him... Pushing him right to his limitations as he tried to hold on... Akane cried out, the pleasure overwhelming her as she started to orgasm... She thrust her hips forward... wanting Ranma as deep into her as she could as she climaxed... "R...ra.... AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Waves of pleasure crashed over her, running through her, shaking her small, feminine form... Ranma groaned, feeling her coming around him... desperate to hold on... but he was drawn along with her, pushed over the edge by the sensations she gave him... "Uuuuungghh...Aa...ka....neeeeeeeeeeeee!" They came together, holding each other tightly, each caught up in pure ecstasy... Ranma's seed shooting into her as she orgasmed... but before long, they both collapsed to the floor... Ranma, holding Akane against him, lay with his back on the floor. Eventually, he started feeling uncomfortable... but stroked her back slowly... "That was so wonderful, Akane..." Akane gave a soft, happy sigh... she smiled up at him, her short hair and fringe plastered around her face... Then she noticed where they were. "Mmm, Ranma... Let's get back to bed... I'm sure that was where we started!" Ranma laughed softly, and nodded, rolling on his side, gently lowering Akane to the floor. He pulled out of her with a soft moan, echoed by her, then sat up, taking her gently in his arms. He lifted her as he stood, walking back to their futon. Akane smiled, her arms around his neck, continuing to hold onto him as he lowered her to the futon, then snuggled up against her. They kissed again, tenderly... She sighed happily, closing her eyes... "I love you, Ranma..." Ranma, holding her close, resting against her familiar curves, sighed happily, "And I love you, my Akane..." Eventually they fell asleep together, holding each other in a loving, intimate embrace. [The River, Morning] A giant sumo pig trotted down the street, near the river. A stunningly beautiful girl with her black hair tied in a long ponytail sat behind a cute brunette with two stripes of pink in her hair. The first girl was wearing the dogi of a ninja while the other wore a large jumper and a small tartan skirt. "Well," said the kunoichi, "We're back, Akari-chan." The other girl nodded. "Sou, ne, Kenzan-chan. I wonder if things have changed...?" Konatsu Kenzan shook her head, "We won't know until we find them, will we? But that's not what we're here for..." Akari nodded, "Let's find my grandfather." The pig, Katsu-nishiki, continued on. [Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya] Ukyou opened the door at an incessant scratching sound. She looked out, then down. There, outside the restaurant, was a large black and white dog. It was strange in that one side of the dog was completely black, and the other side completely white. It sat, panting up at her. "Oh! Ryouga-kun! Shirokuro's here!" she called. Ryouga poked his head out of the door and blinked, "What're you doing here, girl?" The dog barked as a number of very cute puppies, and another black and white dog, appeared behind her. All the puppies looked just like balls of fur, each black and white on each side respectively. "Oh! Shirokuro's puppy, Kuroshiro, has had puppies!" Ryouga looked very pleased with himself. He knelt down and picked up the little fluffy creatures. He held one out to Ukyou as he grinned like a maniac, his cute little fangs peeking out. Ukyou took a puppy, giggling, "Kawaii yo!" They entered the restaurant, then went upstairs to Ukyou's bedroom, the dogs following. They both played with the little creatures, Ukyou recognising the same gentleness in Ryouga that he displayed when he was holding Miyabi. She reached out and ran a finger down Ryouga's cheek, "I love you." She whispered. She sighed happily as he smiled back. "I love you too, Ukyou-chan." [Unryuu Residence] Akari knelt down next to her grandfather's futon, "I'm back, grandfather. Please forgive me for leaving you for so long, but..." Her grandfather nodded his head slightly, "I've had to look after the pigs for you, Akari. Please take back your life here. I will not live much longer." Akari nodded, shamefaced, "I...I'm sorry, grandfather." He looked over at Akari, "Now, what's this about you wanting to marry? You found a stronger man than this 'Ryouga'?" "I have found someone that I love, and who is strong. Kenzan-chan has looked after me while I've been away..." Her grandfather nodded, "Will he help you look after the pigs?" She nodded, "Kenzan-chan's been very good, helping me with Katsu-nishiki." The old man smiled, "Please introduce me to him, so that I may give you both my approval for marriage." Konatsu appeared, next to Akari, in a cloud of smoke, "Hajimemashite, Konatsu Kenzan desu. Douzo yoroshiku." She knelt down next to Akari. As the smoke dissipated, kiss marks, in the same shade as Konatsu's lipstick, covered both Akari and her grandfather. Konatsu blushed deeply, "Gomen nasai! Smoke usually means a kiss attack, so..." Akari's grandfather looked at Konatsu in shock, "I remember something from my younger days... A group of women in a tea-shop, whose speciality attack was that one. Do you, perhaps, come from that place? The secret training ground of the kunoichi?" Konatsu nodded, "Maybe you met my mother, if you went there. She died just after I was born, then my ugly stepmother and stepsisters took over, or so my father said once..." Akari's grandfather nodded, "There was a beautiful girl there, who looked just like you. Although it turned out that she was a man." "Oh, my grandfather!" Konatsu smiled happily, "I have his looks, exactly!" "Those were enjoyable times..." Akari's grandfather relaxed on the bed. "But still, I can't allow my only grandchild to marry a girl." Akari smiled, "But Kenzan-chan is a man!" Konatsu pulled open her top, revealing the torso of a male martial artist, "Just like my grandfather!" "Hmmm. Your grandfather, no matter his looks, was a man among men...not to mention a woman among women! I have no choice but to accept. Please look after my granddaughter." Konatsu nodded, "I will, grandfather." He took Akari's hand and smiled into her eyes, "We can get married now, Akari-chan!" Akari took his small, feminine hands in hers, "Ureshii, Kenzan-chan!" Katsu-nishiki smashed his way into the room through the nearest wall at Akari's whistle, and both she and Konatsu hopped on, "We will be back, soon, to feed the pigs, grandfather!" With that, the giant sumo pig turned around and ran out through the wall, making a new hole in it, and leaving Akari's grandfather to sleep in the now drafty room. [The Nekohanten] Shampoo finished dressing, "Mmmm... I slept wonderfully, airen." she said in soft Mandarin. Mousse finished concealing all of his weapons and other assorted items in his clothing, "Such a wonderful night, my bride. But we overslept." Shampoo shrugged, "At least we'll open in time for lunch!" Mousse nodded, and they wandered downstairs together. As they opened the restaurant, Akari and Konatsu entered, along with several regular patrons. "Irasshaimase!" Shampoo stood at Akari and Konatsu's table, "What you like for lunch?" Akari looked at Shampoo, "What we'd really like is to talk to R-ryouga-sama and Ukyou-san." Both she and Konatsu felt a small stab of pain at the names, just enough to remind them of their loss. Shampoo frowned, nodding, "They in Ucchan's, across street. But you want eat here first! No eat there. Chinese much better!" Konatsu shook his head, his long ponytail swinging, and sighed, but said nothing, letting Akari order ramen for them both. [Akane & Ranma's Room] Akane sat up and stretched, yawning. Ranma remained lying on the bed, his arms behind his head as he watched his wife. he thought, staring at the soft, smooth skin of her back. He smiled, running his eyes down her back, gazing at the curves of her torso. As she half-turned towards him, his eyes followed her turning frame, tracing up and over her well-formed breasts, then up to gaze into her large eyes. "Ranma, maybe we should get up now?" she asked, smiling at him, not having missed how he had watched her. She slid a hand onto his chest, enjoying touching the firm, taut skin and his flat muscles. She loved his well-toned physique, knowing his body intimately. He ran a hand slowly up her arm, his fingertips moving ever so gently over her skin, causing her to tingle at his touch, "Must we, love?" Akane moved her body, pressing down until she lay against Ranma. She smiled and kissed his lips softly as her breasts pressed against his chest. She whispered, "Not if you can think of something better to do..." Ranma wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly. He felt himself start to harden just from her nearness. Her nipples were already hard, as he kissed her deeply, his lips parting to whisper, "I'm sure we can think of something..." [Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya] Ukyou was cooking okonomiyaki while Ryouga waited on tables...when he could find them. But over the last year or so, he had gotten an idea of the layout of Ucchan's, so he didn't get lost on the way to a table so often. Trying to serve okonomiyaki in the bathroom didn't go down well with the customers. Konatsu entered, followed quickly, and shyly, by Akari, both of them looking like they would rather not be there, "Anou... Ukyou-sama." Ukyou looked up, as did Ryouga, "K-konatsu. Where have you been? I haven't seen you since..." She stopped. "A...akari-chan..." Ryouga murmured. He had thought about her occasionally, but never done more than that. Now that she was here, he wondered what on earth to do. But he didn't get a chance to say anything. "Thank you for looking after me, Ukyou-sama. I hope Ryouga-san is looking after you better than I could have. I'm just here to tell you that Akari-chan and I will be getting married soon. I thought you should know," said Konatsu, bowing his head. "Married?" Ryouga asked, utterly stunned. Akari nodded, then smiled at Ryouga, "Please take care of Ukyou-san." She took hold of Konatsu's hand, "And you are both invited to our wedding." Ukyou smiled softly, "Thanks. Please come to ours, if you want." Konatsu nodded, then turned, taking Akari with him. "See you later!" They left the restaurant, hopping back onto Katsu-nishiki. After they had gone, Ryouga sighed, "I didn't want to hurt her, you know. I used to love her..." Ukyou nodded and squeezed Ryouga's hand in hers, "I know, Ryouga, but it's in the past now. They are happy together." She kissed his forehead lightly, "And so are we." He nodded slowly, then squeezed her hand back. Just then, a puppy tumbled down from the hallway, into the restaurant. It barked playfully at them, looking very cute. Ryouga smiled, having been struck by an idea, "Maybe she'll forgive me if I give her a puppy..." "I don't think she ever really blamed you, Ryouga." Ukyou said softly, gazing at him. He gave her a half-smile, a fang showing, "Thanks Ukyou-chan..." He softly stroked the little puppy as he picked it up, moving closer to Ukyou. She smiled, slipping an arm around him. [The Tendou-ke, Late Afternoon] "We're going out for dinner now. Last chance! Are you sure you two aren't coming?" Nabiki called to Souun and Genma. "Not tonight, we're playing," Souun called, not noticing Genma moving pieces. Nabiki shrugged, then nodded, "Let's go then." She, Kasumi, Toufuu-sensei, and Nodoka, carrying Miyabi, started off for Ucchan's, each holding an umbrella for the rain. [Akane & Ranma's Room] Ranma and Akane snuggled together in bed for a while. Ranma ran a hand lightly up and down Akane's back, "Mmmm... We haven't had a day alone together like that for a while." Akane nodded, "It's been so long since then... But I do sort of miss Miyabi crawling into the futon to wake us." Ranma laughed softly, "You know, so do I. But I'm sure ofukuro's taking good care of her." Akane smiled, "She really loves being a grandmother." Then she giggled, "I wonder how your father'll cope with Miya-chan when she sees him as a panda?" Ranma laughed, imagining little hand marks all over his father's panda form, with Miyabi curled up asleep in his lap, exhausted from too much clambering and hugging him. "I'm sure he'll be happy, no matter how much he complains." Akane giggled, then kissed Ranma's ear, "Let's get dressed and go out for dinner. We haven't eaten all day." Ranma smirked, "Nothing apart from each other, you mean." Akane giggled again and poked him lightly in the ribs, "Ecchi." She sat up, Ranma following suit, still grinning. [Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya] Ukyou smiled as the Tendou girls, Toufuu Ono, and Nodoka and Miyabi Saotome entered. "Welcome! Take a seat somewhere." They sat down at a table, Kasumi holding the little girl on her lap. "Mama? Papa? Where?" she asked, like she'd been asking on and off all day. Kasumi smiled at her, "You'll see them soon, Miya-chan." As Ukyou took orders, Ryouga came out from the kitchen, smiling. He saw the group, and Miyabi. he wondered, and walked towards them... and tripped over a bucket of water. He blinked and squealed, turning to the group. Ukyou picked him up, then set him down on the table in front of Miyabi. "Hora, it's a kawaii piglet!" Miyabi cooed and clapped her little hands, starting to chatter away to P-chan in baby talk. "Isn't that...?" Nabiki trailed off as Ukyou nodded. "Oh. No wonder P-chan was never around after Akane's wedding." P-chan stared at Nabiki. Suddenly, his train of thought was cut off as he was glomped by Miyabi. Miyabi gurgled happily, snuggling the little pig. At that moment, a female Ranma and Akane entered Ucchan's, "Ucchan, can we have something to eat?" Ranma asked as Akane put down her umbrella. "Oh Ranma, Akane. Come and join us!" called Toufuu, smiling. Nabiki smirked, "Wet outside, eh Ranma?" She grinned at Ranma's scowel. Everyone moved over as the couple came over and sat next to Nodoka. "Miya-chan!" Akane smiled happily at Miyabi, held by Kasumi, "Oh, and P-chan! Where have you been, all this time?" Miyabi cooed happily, "Papa! Mama!" while still holding P-chan. Both Ranma and Ryouga acked. It was Ukyou who saved them, "Ryouga's dog found him and brought him here, Akane-chan. I don't think it's your pet, but I gave this one the same collar and name as him, in honour of your little piglet..." Akane blinked, then nodded slowly, "I guess you're right. My P-chan wouldn't turn up after all this time..." Ranma quietly hugged Akane, but smiled at Miyabi, "How's my little girl?" As Miyabi called out, "Papa!" Kasumi smiled, "She even knows you as her daddy in your cursed form!" "She's quite smart, my granddaughter," Nodoka smiled. Miyabi planted a baby kiss on P-chan's snout as she hugged him, "Pii, Pii!" she cooed, not quite able to pronounce 'P-chan'. Ryouga froze and stared at the little child. thought Ranma. Ukyou just giggled, along with the rest. [Unryuu Residence, Akari's Room] Akari and Konatsu entered Akari's room after feeding the pigs. Akari sat down on her bed, sighing, "I haven't slept in this room in such a long time..." Konatsu nodded, sitting next to her, "It was a long time ago, wasn't it?" He took down his hair, brushing it out. He hummed softly, smiling at Akari, "But we're here now." Akari smiled back and nodded. She pulled out a silken nightie from the drawers near her bed, setting it down beside her. It had a picture of a cute pig embroidered onto it. She pulled off her top and folded it, placing it on the floor, by her feet. "I'm glad to be home... Do you think you could call this place your home, too?" Konatsu smiled happily, looking every inch the bishonen he was, "It would be the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to me, if I was to live with you." She giggled softly, blushing, "Oh, Kenzan-chan..." He hugged her, still smiling happily, then took off his ninja top, placing it next to Akari's jumper. He looked rather strange, but attractive, to Akari. His long black hair flowed down, around his face, shoulders, and back... his lips smiling, shaded a deep red... his large eyes set in his delicate features... the face of a woman... and the body of a firmly flat-muscled man, with a lean, willowy build. Konatsu watched Akari gaze at his body, and reached out with his hand to take hers, drawing it gently to his bare chest, "Akari-chan..." She smiled up at him as he rested her hand on hers. They leaned together, moving closer to the other, until their lips sweetly touched in a tender kiss... As they kissed, Akari's arms slid around him, enjoying how his smooth, naked chest felt against her lingerie clad torso. Her hands stroked his lithe, delicate form, stroking over his flat muscles... enjoying touching him. His hands stroked her skin lightly, with a fingertip, through her silken teddy. As they held each other, kissing, they slowly explored each other's bodies with their delicate hands... running their palms over each other's slim forms... through each other's long hair... their large eyes gazing into the other's feminine face... Before long, both of them were naked... The bishoujo and the bishounen... They had explored each other before, on their journey... But they were both rather innocent and shy. But, coming back to Nerima, their engagement... something had changed them a little... Akari lay on her side, facing her fiancee. She ran her fingertip down his side, slowly feeling the gentle curves of his small form. Konatsu, in turn, ran his palm from her neck, down over her breasts... both just enjoying touching the other... They moved closer together, their bodies touching... her breasts against his chest... her hips to his... his gently throbbing manhood pressing against her skin proving beyond doubt that he was a man, no matter how he looked. Akari moved even closer to his body, lifting her knee to rest her leg aginst his wide hips... her hand resting on his small waist... feeling his warm body so close to her... He gazed deeply into her eyes, his arms holding her close to him... His eyes searching... "Akari-chan...?" She kissed his lips softly... "Hai, Kenzan-chan..." She nodded slightly. He squeezed her close, and pulled her against him, rolling onto his back... Then took her hips, and guided her downwards... until the tip of his length pressed up against her damp, pink womanhood. Akari gazed down at him, unable to do more than wriggle against him... Konatsu stared up into her face... then, taking one of her small, delicate hands, gently placed it against his length, sending a spark of pleasure shooting through him. He moaned just a little... "Hold me like that, Akari-chan... Then push down against me..." She nodded, just holding him lightly. She pushed down, gasping softly as his body arched, pushing up to her... She lowered herself against him, feeling the head of his hardness pushing at and around her opening as she moved down against him, guided by his hands, trying to find the right place... After a moment, the tip of his manhood pushed against her clit, a cry of pleasure coming from her lips. Konatsu and Akari moved again, pushing to the other... several times, each time missing their goal... Then, suddenly, Akari bit her lip, holding back a cry as Konatsu slipped a little way into her soft, wet opening... They stayed like that for a while, both looking at the other... Their faces flushed, their eyes bright... "Ready, Akari-chan...?" She nodded... and Konatsu pulled her hips gently down towards his... her hand moving to his chest. Konatsu, all his life lived as a woman, suddenly felt what it was like to be a man, making love to his beloved... He gulped back a sweet, soft cry from his pretty lips, feeling how her tight, virgin walls surrounded him... Her velvet-like womanhood rubbing against his mokkori length as he slid up into her sweet body... Akari's mind reeled with the new sensations, feeling her love parting her with himself... the sensation of him rubbing against her sensitive, inner skin sending pleasure through her...Then she shuddered, jumping back as the tip of his manhood touched her barrier... "Aah! Kenzan-chan!" He blinked up at her, "Akari-chan? Daijoubu?" his pretty face showing his concern for her. "Itai yo..." He frowned cutely, and took her into his arms... "The kunoichi scroll of the body said something like that... Maybe I can use a little ninja magic to stop the pain...?" She nodded slowly, holding onto him tightly... Konatsu clasped his hands together in one of the magical positions of power, whispering something. Then he reached down and tapped a point on each of her hands, lightly. "Saa... That will ease the pain when I break through that veil inside you, Akari-chan..." He blushed a little, saying such things. Akari blushed, too, but nodded... and soon moved back up, straddling him once more. This time, Konatsu entered her body gently, only fumbling a little as they tried to find her opening... As she slid down, he pushed up... and tore through her virgin barrier with ease... Then, once he was in her, he stopped. Determined not to show his pleasure while she was un-desensitised, he quickly tapped her hands lightly again... and slid back a little, before pushing into her... This time they both cried out in pleasure, their bodies joining as one... Akari's sweet face was filled with a pleasure matching Konatsu's, both flushed... They started to move as one, Konatsu gently rocking under Akari, watching her face, watching her pink-streaked brown hair swaying as they made love... Akari watching him... They moved, rocking together... Konatsu filling her, over and over... her velvety walls encasing his length with her warm honey as she rode him... Both tenderly stroking the other's torso as they rocked... loving the new feelings... loving each other... wanting only happiness for each other... Soon, the motions and tightenings of Akari's sex around him brought Konatsu to his climax... failing to control his needs, he suddenly started to come into her body, his seed filling her... he pushed up his hips, still rocking even as he came, needing her to feel the amazing pleasure that flowed through his body... "A..akariiiiiii!!!" Feeling his hot seed washing through her, feeling his still moving body under and inside her, Akari, too, was pushed to the edge. She groaned, as wave after wave of pleasure assailed her, an orgasm flowing through her... She called out his name as she came... "Kenzaaaaaaan!!" The two feminine lovers felt the pleasure flowing through both of them, like the love they felt for the other... they stayed, linked together till the feelings died... then Akari collapsed against Konatsu, before slowly rolling off his body... As they parted, quiet moans escaped their lips, but they moved together to hold each other, snuggling close in each other's warmth... Drifting into a half sleep, whispering words of love. [Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya] Kasumi looked at the time, "Oh, I must buy some sugar before the shop shuts. Please excuse me." Doctor Toufuu stood up, "I'll walk you there, Kasumi." He helped her up, "I'll see you all later. Akane, please try to make sure I don't see Ranma in my office again, too soon." The doctor opened their umbrella as they left the resturant. Akane giggled as the female Ranma scowled. Kasumi smiled, handing Miyabi to Ranma, then waved goodbye and left with Toufuu. Ranma kissed Miyabi's head, then stuck her tongue out at P-chan, who was still in Miyabi's arms. Miyabi cooed and reached for Ranma's red pigtail, cooing, "Papa!" "Nabiki Tendou, I am here for you, my goddess!" called a voice from outside Ucchan's. Nabiki smiled, "Ah, he's right on time." Tatewaki Kunou entered the restaurant, soaking wet from the rain, his eyes searching the room, his brain still in neutral. "Over here, Tacchi!" Nabiki called, waving. "Ah, there you are, fair maiden." Then he spied the female Ranma, "Oh, pig-tailed goddess! And... a child? No! Don't tell me that the lecherous Ranma Saotome has caused one such as yourself to have his child!? Isn't he satisfied with one child by one woman!?" Nabiki rolled her eyes while Akane and Ranma sighed, despondently. Miyabi tugged happily at her father's hair. Ukyou shook her head and Nodoka blinked, "What a strange boy." "Anou, Sempai... That's my daughter," Akane said flatly. Kunou blinked, "Are you sure?" Akane nodded, "Quite sure." Kunou laughed, "Wahahahahahaha! I may not have to kill that lecherous cur, after all!" Ranma slammed a stool into Kunou's face, knocking him to the floor and destroying the chair, "Usee, bakayarou." Nabiki knelt next to Kunou, "Hmmm. Out cold. Poor Kunou-chan." She sat his unconscious form at the table and sat next to him. "Are you sure you want to marry that moron?" Ranma asked. "Could he possibly be worse than you, Ranma?" Nabiki replied, then smiled tenderly at her comatose fiancee. Ranma grumbled and stomped over to sit next to Akane, still holding their daughter. Akane giggled, watching Miyabi playing with P-chan in her husband's lap. [Unryuu Residence, Akari's Room] Akari yawned a little snuggling against Konatsu. "Mmmm... I'm so happy..." Konatsu smiled, his long hair spilling over the pillow, contrasting with Akari's lighter colored hair, trailing over her lover's skin. He stroked her hair gently, picking up and twirling her two pink locks occasionally. She kissed his neck lightly. "I'm a little hungry, though..." He nodded, "Let's go to Ucchan's... Maybe the others will be there so we can tell them about our wedding?" She smiled happily, sitting up, "Un. Let's go!" [Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya] Akane was holding her daughter who was starting to get sleepy. Kunou had sat himself between Ranma-chan and Nabiki, and was trying to hold them both... unsuccessfully. Nabiki didn't mind, but Ranma kept thumping him. Nodoka sat there wondering if she should take her granddaughter with her, and put her to bed, while Ukyou wiped down the counter. Ryouga, having escaped as P-chan, came down from the bathroom, his hair still damp. The door opened and Akari and Konatsu walked in. They were both smiling happily, almost bouncing as they walked. "Ukyou-sama, minna! Hi!" called Konatsu. Akari beamed, "I'm so happy! Kenzan-chan and I are to be married!" "Hmm?" Ranma looked up, backhanding Kunou in the face again as he tried to grab her. "Married?" she asked. Akari and Konatsu nodded cutely in unison. Akane smiled, "Oh, congratulations! Where have you two been, anyway? You missed our wedding." Akari looked down and blushed a little, "Gomen nasai... Grandfather was sick... And then Kenzan-chan and I went on a trip..." Konatsu nodded, then looked at the child, "Kawaii! Who is the kawaii baby?" Akane smiled, "This is Miyabi, our daughter." She turned and smiled lovingly at the female Ranma. The statement only served to thoroughly confuse Kunou. Akari's eyes went wide, "You had a baby?!" Ranma nodded, smiling back at her wife, "Miyabi is our baby." She reached down and played with Miyabi, letting the little girl grab her fingers. A wisp of smoke came out of Kunou's ears as his brain overloaded. Ryouga smiled softly, "She is such a wonderful little thing... Thank goodness she doesn't take after her father!" Ranma grinned evilly. "Is that so, Pii, Pii?!" "Usee, Ranma-yarou!" Ryouga growled, glaring at Ranma. "Stop it! Both of you!" Akane glared at them both, "Why can't you get along?!" Ranma muttered something unintelligible at the floor, while Ryouga turned, shamefacedly, to the window. Miyabi gave a cute yawn and looked over at Ryouga, "Unca," she gurgled. Ryouga started blushing and Ukyou giggled, "I think my love is falling for little Miyabi. I'm getting jealous!" Akane giggled and kissed Miyabi's nose lightly, then looked up at Akari and Konatsu. "Would you two like to hold her? She'll need some sleep soon, though." Konatsu and Akari nodded eagerly, and Akane carefully handed her daughter to Akari. They played with her for a while, enjoying being with such a cute, happy little child. Nodoka got up and smiled, "I am so happy to see that you've been raising such a strong healthy little girl. Even Genma loves her, you know. He even likes being a panda for her to hug." she said conspiratorially. "Oyaji? Like that? No way!" Ranma laughed, "I thought he'd be selling her down at the sushi bar at the first opportunity!" Nodoka shook her head, "Not his precious little granddaughter... But maybe the threat of chopping him into panda teppenyaki dissuaded him..." Akane and Ukyou laughed while Ranma onna muttered something about stupid fathers. Kunou looked on with a blank expression, the ability of his mind to comprehend having been utterly defeated. Nabiki snuggled against him, watching with amusement. Ryouga moved to stand with Ukyou, wondering what his children would look like. After a while, Ranma took Miyabi and nursed her to sleep. "Oh! How my osage no onna suits the role of motherhood! I shall let both her and my dearest Nabiki bear my children! Hahahahahaha!" Ranma shivered and looked nauseous, while Nabiki belted Kunou over thehead with Ukyou's fighting spatula. "Oh no, you don't, Kunou-chan!" Kunou rubbed his head, "That hurt, you know." Nabiki smiled sweetly, "It'll hurt a lot more if you try to give Ranma your children!" Kunou frowned, wondering what on earth he'd done wrong. Nabiki sighed, Ranma handed her sleeping daughter to her mother, "Ofukuro, take care of her." She smiled softly and Akane took her arms, leaning down to kiss her daughter goodnight. Soon, Nodoka left with Miyabi, leaving everyone else to talk about future weddings. [The Roof of Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya] A shrunken, deformed creature listened to the conversation inside the restaurant. It watched as Shampoo and Mousse joined the group inside after a while. It sat, listening intently. [Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya] "Hmm? A combined wedding?" Ukyou asked, looking at Nabiki, who nodded. Shampoo nodded in agreement, "Aiya! Then all friends get married together, and we no need to fight about who is head bridesmaid." "And I shall take both my beautiful goddess of wealth and my osage no onna at once! Hahaha!" *WHACK!!!!!* This time, both the still female Ranma and Nabiki KO'ed him with chairs. "When would this 'combined wedding' be?" Mousse wondered aloud, polishing his glasses. Nabiki thought for a while, rifling through her lover's wallet. She looked up, pocketing the money. "How about in two weeks?" "You think everything could be ready in time?" Akari asked, her eyes shining. Nabiki nodded, "A few people owe me some favours...and Tacchi will provide the wedding hall and banquet. I can take care of the decorations... Hmm... And the minister from Ranma and Akane's wedding still owes me... So, all you need to worry about are wedding clothes." Akane sat, watching Nabiki, she thought. Ranma slid his arm around his wife, holding her gently against his female body. "Ummm, maybe Kasumi and Toufuu-sensei would want to get married then, too?" Ryouga nodded and then smiled at Ukyou, "That will be a wonderful day." She nodded back and took his hands in hers. Akane smiled, "Toufuu-sensei was just taking Kasumi-oneechan out on a date to propose to her. So, if you see him, you can suggest it, Nabiki-oneechan." Nabiki nodded, snuggling up to Kunou, who was begining to come around. The planning for the wedding continued late into the night... [The Roof of Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya] The figure mumbled to itself in the darkness, and turned and leapt off the building. It then jumped from roof to roof, moving rapidly away from the restaurant. [Akane & Ranma's Room, Morning] Ranma held onto his wife, who was still sleeping. He smiled, gazing at her. "Oh, Akane," he whispered, "I hope the others are as happy as we are, after their weddings." He gently stroked her short dark hair as he stared into space, daydreaming. [Somewhere, In A Dark Cave] Someone...or something...sat in a shadowy corner, plotting. [The Tendou Doujou, Evening] Akane and Ranma turned up to collect their daughter. At the door, Kasumi intercepted them, smiling happily, "Akane-chan, Ranma-kun. Toufuu asked me to marry him!" Akane hugged her elder sister, while Ranma stood nearby, smiling, "Did you say yes? Congratulations!" "And, we've decided to be married at the large wedding ceremony. Of course otousan is in the living room crying. Poor otousan, he will have lost his two remaining daughters in one day. You and Ranma-kun will have to move back in here..." Both Ranma and Akane nodded, glad to have finished their courses, but a little reluctant to be moving into the family home again. Their privacy would vanish and they would have to get back into the doujou training regimen again, but it would be good for their daughter. When she was a little older, they could begin teaching her. "Let's go get Miya-chan, then think about moving back when our term at the university halls runs out." Akane said mildly. Kasumi smiled, leading them to the living room, where Nodoka sat playing with Miyabi, who was bouncing on Genma-panda's stomach. Souun was wailing at the loss of his daughters. It was at that moment that Ryouga stumbled into the room, "Ittai koko wa-" *SPLOOSH!* A small, cute, black piglet splashed helplessly around in Kasumi's mop bucket. Akane blinked, "Was that Ryouga-kun?" Ranma hmmed to himself and looked away. "No, just that cute piglet from Ucchan's," said Kasumi, pointing to the bucket. Miyabi crawled off Genma-panda, who made 'apou' sounds at her, trying to call her back. She continued on, however, heading to the bucket, where she picked up P-chan. "Unca Pii, Pii," she cooed. P-chan blinked. he thought, somewhat depressed, and gave a piggy sigh. Miyabi cooed happily, snuggling him as Ranma tried not to laugh out loud. [Nerima Ginza, A Few Days Later] Ukyou stared through the window at the stunning wedding dress. The torso was of fine silk, cut with a low sweetheart decolletage. Sequins were sewn into the material, leading down from the top, down the front of the long skirt. The skirt, flowing down to the floor, was of smooth silk all around, apart from the sequins that depicted a knot pattern. The sleeves were puffed at the shoulder, then closely followed the line of the arm to the wrist. A small, matching veil on a white silk hat completed the outfit. Ukyou thought to herself, moving to the door of the bridal boutique. She was stopped short as something bounded onto her head, then into the shop. "Aiya! Shampoo's wedding dress!" Ukyou looked up from the pavement and growled, "Shampoo-yarou! That's *my* wedding dress!" She staggered to her feet, drawing her spatula, and followed Shampoo into the shop. Shampoo was already asking the attendant for the dress when Ukyou stormed into the shop. "That's MY dress!" Shampoo turned around, in a defensive posture, "Shampoo get dress. Shampoo asked for dress before slow Ukyou!" The attendant gawked at the two girls, her mouth hanging open. Ukyou started to rush Shampoo when the side wall of the shop was smashed in by Katsu-nishiki, carrying Akari on his back. "Oh, that dress in the window is so pretty!" The attendant's eyes nearly popped out of her head. "It's mine!" Ukyou and Shampoo called simultaneously. Akari was too intent on the beautiful dress that she did not hear them. She urged Katsu-nishiki to the counter, "Oh, please get out that dress. I'd like to try it on!" She pointed out the dress in the window. Both Shampoo and Ukyou ran to the window and grabbed the dress, "No! It's mine!" Akari blinked down at them. As Ukyou tugged the dress to her, Shampoo glared, tugging back. "That dress belong to me!" Ukyou glared back. "Wanna bet?!" Shampoo shook her head, "Shampoo ask for dress first!" The attendant, her eyes wide, didn't know what to do. Akari jumped off her giant sumo pig. "Stop! Be careful! You'll rip the dress..." Ukyou ignored Akari and yanked the dress from Shampoo's grip. Shampoo pulled out her bonbori, "Give Shampoo's dress back!" "Never! I'll marry Ryouga-kun in this dress!" Ukyou threw it to the attendant as she swung her giant spatula at Shampoo, yelling "I'll pay for my dress, now!" "No! Is Shampoo's dress!" Shampoo blocked the spatula with a bonbori, swinging the other at Ukyou. Ukyou dodged, throwing her small, sharpened spatulas towards Shampoo, "Keep away from my dress!" Shampoo deflected the small spatulas, spinning them out of control around the room... one flow towards Akari... only to be grabbed out of the air by Konatsu, who has just appeared in a cloud of smoke. "I want that dress!" Everyone face-faulted. Konatsu took his chance and grabbed the dress, "Akari-chan, I have the dress for you! I'm sorry, Ukyou-sama..." "Kisama..." Ukyou regained her footing, "It's *my* dress!" Shampoo jumped up, then leapt at Konatsu, aiming her bonbori for his head. He blocked, but the dress was still in his hands. The bonbori hit the crumpled dress, "Aiya! Shampoo no mean to hit dress!" Akari reached for the corner of the dress, "It'll be destroyed..." "Oh no, you don't!" Ukyou threw her small spatulas at Akari's hand as Shampoo grabbed an arm of the dress... The spatula sliced through the skirt, leaving Akari only holding a piece of white silk. Shampoo tugged, but Konatsu's grip was too tight. She fell back with a surprised yelp, holding the torn sleeve of the dress. Konatsu held onto the remnants of the ripped, crumpled silk. Ukyou stared at the carnage. At that moment, Kasumi and Nabiki walked in through the giant hole in the wall. Kasumi blinked, "Oh, my." Nabiki raised an eyebrow, "If we had have been here earlier, we could have joined in the fun, oneechan. What were you girls playing? 'Shred the Dress'?" The girls and Konatsu stared down at the floor, each of them burning with shame. Kasumi smiled, "Well, as long as someone pays for this dress, everything will be alright. How much was the dress?" The attendant gulped a little, not used to all the fighting, "900,000 yen." The fighters face-faulted, their hands in the Takahashi Pain Posture, "Ex-pen-sive..." [The Bridal Boutique, A Little Later] Nabiki paid for the dress, having put the others up for loans at outrageous interest rates. The girls sheepishly searched around the shop for another dress... [The Kunou Mansion, A Guest Room] The girls stood around, gazing at the wedding outfits and paraphenalia, nervous on the night before the wedding. Shampoo had finally chosen a Chinese-style wedding outfit, made of deep red and crimson silks. Akari had picked a white Japanese wedding kimono with small piglet designs stitched into the silk with gold and silver thread. Nabiki had a very expensive and sexy western wedding dress made from pure silk, pearls and tiny diamonds studded into the fabric. After the wedding dress had been destroyed in the fight, Ukyou had considered wearing a tuxedo or a montsuki and hakama, but had settled on a pretty, white silk Western dress, similar to Nabiki's, but not as flashy. Kasumi had a beautiful, traditional wedding kimono of white and red silk. Each of the new outfits suited the girls perfectly. Nodoka and Akane helped with the wedding clothes, setting them out for the next day. Kodachi, Genma and Souun were in the ballroom, looking after Miyabi and setting up the decorations for the wedding. Tatewaki, Ryouga, Mousse, Konatsu and Dr.Toufuu were with Mikado and Ranma in another guest room. Mousse had a formal Chinese wedding garment, seemingly made from deeply coloured silks. Nabiki had talked Kunou into wearing a western tuxedo to match her dress, otherwise he'd have been in an expensive montsuki and hakama, complete with daisho! Ryouga looked at his montsuki and hakama of dark navy blue, wondering if he would have to take off his bandannas. Konatsu's outfit was a black tuxedo, fitted to his slim, feminine form. The way it sat on him, he still looked like a woman - the perfect bishonen in his tux. Toufuu's outfit consisted of a montsuki and hakama of black silk to match Kasumi's wedding kimono. Each of the men looked extra handsome (or beautiful, as the case may be) in their wedding outfits. Eventually the wedding preparations were complete... [The Kunou Mansion, The Front Door] A tall man, dressed completely in a white outfit of a blazer-like top and slacks, and a young woman in expensive looking kimono knocked at the door. The man's hand rested on the hilt of his katana, the other hand brushed back the two unruly locks of his black hair. His eyes shone from behind the small, Zorro-like mask he was wearing. The girl's long dark hair was half pulled back, and it flowed down to her waist. She, too, was wearing a similar mask. Both waited for the door to be opened. [The Kunou's Backyard] A figure seemed to crouch in the shadows as it gave a maniacal laugh. The laugh was promptly cut short as Midorigame-kun, Kodachi's pet alligator, went for the figure. A few moments later, the unconscious alligator lay on it's back on the lawn, while the figure disappeared into the night. [The Kunou Mansion] Kodachi came to the door and let the masked couple in. "Ah, it's so good that you have joined us. Please follow me." The white-clad man and the woman both nodded, and followed Kodachi into the house. She led them to the guest rooms, stopping by the door where the men were. "You shall find the grooms-to-be in this room." The girl smiled behind the mask, then entered the room, followed by two men covered from head to toe in black, who had suddenly appeared. Kodachi then led the man to the girl's room, "And here we are." She opened the door, taking the man into the room. [The Kunou Mansion, The Guy's Guest Room] Mikado looked up and smiled at the girl and her black-clothed entourage. "Welcome, miss." Ranma looked at Mikado, raising an eyebrow. Mikado just grinned at Ranma. The others looked thoroughly confused. Mikado took out a large bottle of pre-heated sake, and enough cups to go around. He poured out the sake while looking at the girl. She inclined her head, then gestured to her two men. One brought out two rectangular pieces of wood, fastened together by a small rope. He clicked them together twice, giving out two soft, ringing sounds. The girl struck up a pose. [The Kunou Mansion, The Girl's Guest Room] As the man and Kodachi entered the room, Nodoka stood up. "Excuse me, but I should go and help my husband. She left the room, giving a backwards glance at the handsome, masked man. Kodachi seated herself on the bed, "Please make yourself comfortable, girls. We have a little entertainment for you, tonight..." She smirked at the man who nodded at her, flashing a smile at the assembled young women. [The Kunou Mansion, The Guy's Guest Room] The masked girl slowly lowered her arms, moving in slow, measured motions. She stepped around, turning in a small circle, her hands seeming to flow around her as she stared to dance. Her dark eyes shone from behind the mask, watching the men in the room... She gracefully swayed her way over to Mikado, in her slow, measured step, and took his hand. She turned around, her back facing him. "Saa... Undo my obi, if you please." With deft hands, Mikado undid the intricate obi from behind... And the girl spun away from him, still moving in that gentle motion. Her long obi was unravelled as she moves away from him, leaving him holding all the materials that went to create the kimono's belt. Ryouga and Konatsu stared at her with curious shock. Ranma, blushing, tried to avert his face. Mousse blinked through his glasses, watching her turn. The doctor looked a little nervous, but smiled a little, and drank his sake. Kunou gazed at her, seeming to take this all in his stride. Mikado, taking the obi, smiled, watching her closely... She twirled to a stop in the center of the room, letting the smooth, silky fabric of her outer kimono slip from her body... Flashes of skin from her inner kimono, as it was slightly displaced by the falling silk, were displayed for mere seconds, until the bright, outer kimono hit the floor behind her. Holding her inner kimono close around her, she started to dance slowly around the room, close to the men. Teasing them as she moved, her legs were revealed from the opening in the kimono as she walked, then hidden behind the silk again as she stopped. Her hands slipped down to her stomach, the top of the kimono letting her curvaceous clevage be revealed. Her smooth, pearly skin looked so vibrant next to the silk. Ryouga fainted at the sight of her parting decolletage, a fountain of blood splurting out from his nose. She stopped in front of Kunou, letting the folds of kimono at her breasts fall open, bending slowly towards him... Konatsu gulped, blushing furiously and thinking of Akari. Mousse's glasses started to fog. Toufuu looked at her, a little curiously. Ranma continued trying not to look, but his mind wondered, imagining Akane doing this dance... Kunou, even through his thick skull, started to notice something unusual happening. He suddenly laughed out loud. The girl, used to all sorts of strange reactions, continued on. She leaned backwards, slowly, letting the kimono slip down her shoulders. A hand ran lightly up from her stomach, working up over her skin, to the base of her breasts... her other hand still holding the kimono partly closed. Her arched back slowly straightened as she stood up, and she slid a hand lightly over her breast, reading each reaction from her audience. Mikado stared at her, enjoying the show, sipping his sake. Konatsu played at his long hair, almost studying the girl. Mousse took off his fogged glasses to try to see better, failing miserably. The beautiful dancer spun around once again, and opened the kimono... The colourful, bright inner kimono contrasted with her smooth, creamy, naked body, displayed under the silk... her rounded breasts, tipped with pink nipples, the fabric falling away from her breasts on either side... The men's eyes were drawn down the edge of the silk, down over her stomach... down to her sex, half covered by a fold in the kimono... Ranma drew in a sharp gasp, desperatly wanting to be with his wife... and not only to get out of the beating he knew he'd get for being in the same room as a pretty, almost naked girl. Mikado's eyes never left the girl... Konatsu's mind went through all he knew about such things, coming up with almost nothing, so he watched, wanting to learn... Kunou started to blush. She moved around again, the silk trailing on the floor behind her, the silk half covering her modesty twitching back and forth... then she slid her arms down her body, to her sides... and the kimono fell from her arms, drifting to the floor. With the exception of the fainted Ryouga, not one man wasn't thinking of their beloved, whether they were turned on or not. Then she started to dance, her movements slow, sensual, provocative... Her hair flowed behind her, still tied back. Her hips swayed as she ran her hands lightly over her smooth skin, her body dancing in steamy motions... Then, with a sudden flick of her hands, she stopped all motion... and the black clad men chimed their sticks... She bowed, the black clad ones taking up her clothing, and redressing her. "Arigatou gozaimashita," she whispered, then all three of them disappeared out the door. [The Kunou Mansion, The Girl's Guest Room] The man stood, bowing to the girls. "My dear ladies, I shall do my best to entertain you." The room filled with soft music, a strong beat reverberating through the room. He started swaying to the music, his strong body seeming to strain at the fabric of his white outfit. As he moved, he reached up, and his hands started to undo his blazer top... Ukyou whistled beneath her breath, watching the guy. Akari and Kasumi both blushed as his bare chest started to show, beneath the top, but watched curiously. Nabiki and Kodachi both grinned, staring while Akane blushed, chewing her bottom lip... As the tempo increased, the man shrugged out of his blazer, dropping it to the side. He danced sensually to the music, his muscles rippling as he turned, showing off his body. He flashed a smile at the women, and started turning around, before them. His whole body danced as if made for dancing, his hips grinding as the music required... Then his hands deftly undid his white pants... and kicked them off, to Ukyou. Ukyou caught them, giggling. Nabiki whistled at the dancer. All of the other girls stared curiously, nervous but unable to take their eyes off of him. His body was only clad in a small pair of bikini-style white briefs. He lifted his arms behind his head, and concentrated on grinding his hips to the music for a while, his body almost one with the sounds around the room. As they watched, the girls not being able to help but stare... Ukyou's thoughts turned to Ryouga, wishing he'd do something like this. Akari and Kasumi watched with innocence... Akane blushed harder, wishing that the guy was Ranma... Nabiki continued to watch, enjoying the show, wishing she had brought her camera. Kodachi smirked, glad that Mikado had helped come up with the idea. He danced around the room, in front of each girl... He offered Ukyou his hand as he swayed before her, showing off his well defined body. Giggling, she stood up, letting him slip his arms around her. They danced against each other, the dancer's wonderful body rubbing against her, his hips brushing against hers... his chest rubbing against her breasts as they danced... His eyes caught hers... even his look smouldered with sensuality. Before long, he left the turned on Ukyou, moving to the next bride to be... The man continued to dance, showing off his body to the assembled girls, knowing exactly how to turn them on with each motion of his body. He span around in a circle for a while, then stopped, facing them... slid his hands to the waistband of his briefs... then flicked his wrists and the pants fell off. As the girls stared down at his now naked body, he rocked to the music, sensually, his hips swaying in a circular motion... And the music started to die, his movements slowing... He moved to a stop... flashed another smile, and silently re-dressed. Then he slipped off, leaving the girls alone. The girls all stared after him, even Nabiki and Kodachi were thinking of their loves now... [The Kunou Mansion, The Guy's Guest Room] After the girl and her men had left, all of the men sat around, most of them rather embarrassed. Mikado just grinned and tried to wake up Ryouga, who had fainted. Toufuu-sensei had, surprisingly, managed to stay rather clinical through the whole dance. Mousse's glasses were still fogged up. However, Konatsu was gawking after the girl, wondering if he could do that sort of thing for Akari. Kunou, on the other hand, was still blushing, wondering what had just happened. Ranma was blushing furiously, "If Akane found out..." he mumbled, "She'd..." Mikado laughed, "Don't worry. Kodachi arranged a male stripper for the girls!" "WHAT?!" [The Kunou Mansion, The Girl's Guest Room] The girls, in the other room, gazed after the man as he left, giggling amongst themselves, still thinking of their men doing that for them. "Ooh, he was so sexy!" Ukyou tittered. Kodachi laughed, "Only the best for the brides at my residence! Ohohohoho!" Nabiki smirked, "That was the male half of the 'Twin Stars', ne? I guess the other half was with the guys..." Akane blinked, "Nani?! And Ranma was there?!" Kasumi smiled at Akane, "Remember what you just saw yourself, Akane." Akane blushed and closed her mouth. [The Kunou Mansion, Later That Night] The brides and grooms-to-be settled down for the night in different guest rooms, a room each... Each person wishing to be in their loved one's arms. The others helping with the wedding went home, apart from Ranma and Akane. As Mikado and Kodachi slipped off to their room,Akane and Ranma wandered to a guest room, blushing as they looked at each other. Sliding the door closed, Ranma gathered up his courage, "Ummm... Akane?" Akane looked at him, "Ranma?" "I didn't know... But Mikado... he, well.. he threw a real bachelor party for the guys, and..." He coughed, looking even more embarrassed, "There was this girl there..." "The other half of the 'Twins'..." Akane whispered. She took a breath, "And Kodachi invited the guy for the girls..." They both blushed and looked at each other. Ranma reached out to her and took her hand, "I still think you are the most beautiful woman in the world..." "And you are my wonderful, sexy Ranma..." Akane smiled softly up at him and squeezed his hand, "I only want you." Ranma smiled, relieved, "Let's get to bed, Akane..." She nodded and they moved over to the bed, kissing deeply... both already turned on. Before long, they were in bed, making love... [The Kunou Mansion, A Guest Room, The Wedding Day] All of the young brides-to-be were dressed in their finery, each one of them looking radiant. Akane, Kodachi and Nodoka were wearing powder blue matron of honour dresses, carrying flowers. As the time grew nearer to the wedding, their excitement increased. The other room was filled with nervous grooms. Ranma and Mikado watched procedures, trying to keep everyone under control as well as trying to keep Ryouga from getting lost. Genma and Souun were in the ballroom, taking care of the guests and making last minute preparations. Before long, everyone...and everything, was ready... [The Kunou Mansion, The Ballroom] Ranma and Mikado, both looking extra handsome in their tuxedos, led the grooms into the giant ballroom. The room itself was bedecked with white and deep pink streamers and flowers. The room was filled with chairs for the many guests, and there was a raised platform at the front of the room. A red carpet led from the double doors up the aisle to the dais which the men strode down. Souun and Genma sat up the front. The minister stood on the dais, awaiting the brides. Wedding music wafted through the room from the giant pipe organ that was brought in for the occasion. Sasuke Sarugakure was playing the music. Even Kunou had not known he could play the organ, but he was surprisingly good at it for such a bad ninja! The guests all sat, chatting and waiting for the brides. Among the many guests that all the brides and grooms had known, as well as Ranma and Akane's friends, sat Hikaru Gosunkugi, fading into the crowd as usual. Almost all of the Joketsuzoku were there to see Mousse and Shampoo wed, including Shampoo's father and RinRin and RanRan. The Jyusenkyou Guide and his daughter, Plum, were there, having led Shampoo and Mousse's village friends to Japan. Kin Ono, Toufuu's mother, was there, happily praying to her dead husband at the giant shrine she always carried around. She was talking about the wedding and how happy she was that her son was finally getting married. Azusa sat near her with Tsubasa, both of them dressed in pretty, frilly pink dresses, giggling in a much too kawaii manner. Sentarou and Satsuki Daimonji had careened into the room on a run away horse, only to be stopped short of running into the wall by their horse having an unfortunate encounter with the doujou destroyer. Obaasama and Sanae, the monkey, had followed the Daimonjis in, taking their place near their family. Bakuchi Ou King was sitting at the back, trying to start up a game of cards with the niku-man men who said they were there to see the wedding, not lose all their money playing children's card games. Kinnosuke was there, pondering ways to take Bakuchi Ou King for every yen he's got, occasionally looking for Nabiki, wondering who she was wrangling money off this time. Both Picolette Chardin II and Madame Saint Paul sat near the front, waiting for the banquet that would follow the ceremony. Pansuto Tarou sat, in human form, glaring across at the pretty Rouge, who was also in her human form. Even Lychee and Kirin were there, having followed everyone else from China. Kirin was, of course, followed by his entourage of the Shishifuku Dojin - Bishamonten, the twins Daikokusei and Daihakusei, the giant Muu, the pretty Monron and Ebiten. Even Jasmin, Lychee's elephant, was there. Touma and his animal men, the monkey, bird and dog, were there from their magical island, Togenkyou, all of them gazing at the pretty women, wondering if they could find brides here. Nearby was Herb, the dragon leader of the Musk Dynasty, with the tiger boy, Lime, and the wolf boy, Mint. Both Mint and Lime were both ogling the girls in the room, mumbling to each other about breasts. Hinako, in her true, adult form, was being ogled at the most. Even Shinnosuke and his grandfather had taken time off from keeping the giant animals at Ryugenzawa under control to come to the wedding, although Shinnosuke had forgotten why they were there. Ukyou's father and Akari's grandfather sat up the front. Even Ryouga's family were there - his mother having finally made it back from shopping and his father had come back from the business trip that he left on five months ago. The family dog, Shirokuro, had led them to the wedding, and she and all of her family, including the kawaii new puppies, played at their feet. As soon as Sasuke started playing the bridal march, everyone quieted down to watch the brides' enterance. Nabiki slowly entered, walking down the aisle at a slow, stately, measured pace. She was followed by Ukyou, then Shampoo, Akari and Kasumi. The room was filled with soft gasps as the five beautiful women walked down the aisle. Kodachi led them, scattering rose petals and cherry blossoms before the brides' feet. The flowers settled on the carpeted aisle, amazingly enough, they didn't paralyse the brides or make them fall into a deep sleep. Akane and Nodoka followed behind the brides, carrying bouquets of flowers. The five grooms stared with wonder at their brides-to-be as they walked over the petal-covered carpet to the dais, as if in a dream. The brides continued down the aisle to the dais, where both the minister and the grooms waited. They each gazed at their loves, their hearts aching... Suddenly the ballroom doors burst open and the creature was there... It looked around as it's shrunken body balanced on a walking stick. "I will not forgive you for defying me, Shampoo! Mousse is not your groom!" Shampoo swung around and gasped, "Hiibaa-chan!" Cologne continued, "Happiness will never be yours, ungrateful child! Wahahahahahahahaha!!" Everyone stared at the ghoul, muttering amongst themselves. Mousse glared at the gatecrasher, "You and whose army will stop me from marrying Shampoo?!" "I'm glad you asked, Mousse... Behold!" Behind her appeared a group of people, still in the shadows. "This army, Mousse!" "We stop Shampoo! Over!" two girls cried, leaping over Cologne's head into the room. A strange man laughed insanely as he stepped forward, strumming his ukelele. He was dressed in a loud hawaiian shirt and lei, and had a palm tree growing on top of his head. His eyes glinted from behind his sunglasses as he drew a pair of hair shears. "Stop!" he shouted in English. "You can't get married unless you all cut your hair!" he finished in Japanese. A girl in a cheerleading outfit, wielding pompoms and a baton, stepped forwards, "Kunou-sama, you can't marry her! You have to be with me!" Finally the last three uninvited guests entered the room in a puff of smoke. "Come back and serve us, lazy Konatsu!" As the smoke cleared, the true horror of the three ugly creatures was revealed. Cologne laughed dementedly, "I shall stop this wedding!" Shampoo glared at her greatgrandmother. "How dare you?!" she yelled in Mandarin, "Attacking me is bad enough! But the others, too?!" She glared hatefully at the ghoul and slowly drew her sword out of nowhere. "You are a hundred years too young to defeat me!" Cologne laughed, "Attack!" The twin girls, Rink and Pink, Shampoo's mortal enemies, started to run down the aisle brandishing poisonous flowers and herb potions. "Shampoo get bashed this time! You no get away with hurting sister! Over!" yelled the one with the poisons. The other, with the medicines followed, crying, "Shampoo no wed today! Over!" Shampoo growled and raised her sword. "No-one stop Shampoo marry husband!" she shouted, and rushed the twins in her beautiful wedding dress. Mousse glared at the old ghoul, "I cannot forgive you for this, old mummy!" He leapt into the air, unleashing a hail of shurikens, throwing knives, sai, bolas, darts and harpoons. Cologne blocked or dodged them all easily, laughing as she did so. "You have no chance against me, Mousse!" Furinkan's kouchou laughed insanely as he ran up the centre of the aisle, trying to shave everyone's head as he passed by. Needless to say, this did not make the guests happy. "Kisama! I will not take this lightly! I will not have you wreck my wedding, Daddy!" Kunou yelled with outrage, as he drew his bokuto, not realising how silly he sounded calling his father by the English word 'daddy'. "Oho! I'll shave you're head personally, Tacchi!" the principal yelled, a look of anticipation on his face, "I shall enjoy it, too!" He ran straight at Kunou, but Kodachi somersaulted into his path, "Fight me first, daddy! You have embarrassed me and ruined my wonderful party! I will not be ridiculed for this! DIE!" She glared at him for a moment and then threw a mass of gymnastics pins at him. Mariko, the combat cheerleader, having been ignored by Kunou, turned her attention to Nabiki. "I shall just have to get rid of my rival, then!" She threw her baton at the seemingly defenseless Nabiki... Which was caught by Ryouga. Ukyou threw her mini spatulas at the cheerleader as she leapt in front of Nabiki, "Attacking a girl who can't fight?! Why, you..." "Well... I shall just have to dispose of you first!" She charged at Ukyou with her spiked pompoms. "D! - I! - E! DIE!" Konatsu's two ugly step sisters and his step mother did various stupid looking poses together at the door, "We will destroy your happiness!" They then all launched themselves towards Akari and Konatsu, yelling, "Sexy Kunoichi Beautiful Crimson Hell Attack!" They swept up the aisle in a blur, leaving a trail of kisses over everything in their wake. Shudders and cries of horror and disgust came from the shocked crowd. This was too much for Mint and Herb. "Our first kiss was with *UGLY* women with no breasts and a fat monster?! You have ruined our lives!" They both jumped out of their seats, kicking the furniture aside as they glared at the three ugly kunoichi... As luck should have it, Happousai turned up at that point. He stared at all the pretty girls and all the chaos, "Sweet! All these young girls for me!" He bounded around the room and then glomped onto the first pretty girl he saw. The girl squealed in disgust, "Hentai!" and started bapping Happousai over the head. Unfortunatly the girl was Rouge, and Pansuto Tarou was with her. He took one look at Happi and, within an instant, had splashed all three with a bucket of cold water. Happousai was most surprised to find himself glomping onto a six armed woman who started breathing fire at him. The giant minotaur-like creature with tentacles and wings wrapped an appendage around Happi and started tugging, fighting with the Indian god woman over the old lecher. Before long, the Joketsuzoku and the Shishifuku Dojin has joined the fight, as had most of the remaining guests. Souun Tendou just sat in the front row, wailing his heart out. Toufuu-sensei blinked, watching the fight with some bemusement and wondering how many patients he would have when it was over. In the intervening period, Nabiki had escaped and was standing near the doctor. Nodoka, Genma, Ranma and Akane stared as the chaos raged around them. Suddenly Genma pushed Ranma towards the largest fight, "Be a martial artist! Stop the fight!" This suceeded only in getting Ranma mad. "Do it yourself, Oyaji!" he said, flik-flaking his father to the floor. Akari stood with Kasumi, staring at the usual violence around them. Kasumi blinked, wide eyed, "Oh my! Thank goodness Miyabi's asleep in one of the guest rooms!" The minister stared at the sight and scratched his head, "I can't conduct a wedding like this!" He was then knocked out by an unidentified flying object. Hinako-sensei, who had changed back into her child form, jumped up and down. "You bad people will have to be punished! There is way too much fighting spirit for a wedding!" She then held up her hands, revealing a five yen piece between each of her fingers. "Happou-go-en-satsu!" she yelled, as she absorbed the battle aura of the combatants around her through her coins. With an almost unlimited source of energy, Hinako grew into adult form. She then dropped the coins down her now tight dress and formed a circle with her hands, her thumbs and index fingers pressed together."Happou-change-exchange!" she yelled, sending a huge blast of energy into the now weakened crowd of guests and fighters. There was a massive explosion as people flew around the room, the fights breaking up from the size of the blast. Miraculously, the brides and grooms escaped without a scratch. Shampoo, Mousse, Ryouga, Ukyou, Kunou and Konatsu immediately started beating on Rink, Pink, Mariko, Konatsu's step family and Kunou-kouchou. "Take this! And this!" "How dare you ruin my wedding day?!" "You get it now!" "It's payback time!" No-one noticed Cologne regaining consciousness. She sneaked over to the minister and grabbed him. She bounced to the door, dragging him behind her. She then turned and laughed, "You can't get married without this man! Wahahahahahaha!" The old bag turned and leapt out the door... Ranma looked at Akane, who nodded, then jumped onto the dais, "We've got to catch the ghoul! It's time she paid for messing us around! Let's go!" He turned and vaulted over the crowd, following Cologne. The brides and grooms all looked at each other, nodded and ran out after Ranma. Only Kasumi and Toufuu stayed behind, letting the younger couples go after the old woman. Most of the guests still able to walk, ran out, carrying those who could not. Souun and Genma tied up the wedding crashers, standing guard over them. Meanwhile Kasumi and Nodoka began cleaning up as Toufuu woke some of the comatose guests. As soon as they regained consciousness, Mikado and Kodachi jumped up and ran out to join the pursuit, Akane hot on their heels, having made sure everything was under control. Ranma leapt from rooftop to rooftop, chasing after Cologne and the minister. "Get back here, bakemono!" The old woman chuckled, "You can't catch me, muko-dono!" "I am *NOT* your son-in-law!" Ranma yelled as he chased her over the rooftops of Nerima. Soon, Ukyou, Ryouga, Mousse, Shampoo, Konatsu, Kunou and Kodachi caught up with Ranma. Akari, riding on her pig, raced along the streets after them with Nabiki and Akane, Mikado skating at their side. As they chased the others, Nabiki gave half a glance to Mikado, "Why're you helping, anyway?!" Mikado laughed a little, "If all you beautiful women don't get married, I won't get to kiss the brides!" [By The River, A Little Later] "Here it ends, muko-dono!" Cologne stopped and dropped the minister to the ground, turning to face Ranma. Ranma smiled confidently and cracked his knuckles, "You really think so, obaba?" The others move into Cologne's view behind Ranma, the brides and grooms still in their wedding finery. Each carried a weapon and wore an angry expression. The fighting spirit of the group was tremendous, their chi burning around them. Even Cologne was forced to back away from the radiating power. She then pulled out a small vial, "I may not be able to beat all you young people with this old body of mine... But that won't be the case for much longer! Wahaha!" "Stop her!" Shampoo shouted urgently, leaping at her great grandmother. Cologne quaffed the liquid in the vial and was suddenly surrounded by a glowing light that sent Shampoo flying back into Mousse's awaiting arms. They all stared at the light, prepared for anything Cologne might throw at them. The light twinkled out of existence and, in Cologne's place, stood a rather beautiful young woman with long black hair. She was dressed in what might have been Cologne's green robes, but it was stretched over her body in ways only Hinako could have matched. The green outfit left her long smooth legs exposed right up to her upper thighs, the bottom of the outfit only just covering her, giving little modesty. The torso of the outfit was rather taut over her stomach and breasts, showing her voluptuous figure. The sleeves of the top where very short, but a little loose. She glared coldly at the group. "Now, you all die!" Kodachi stared, wideyed, "A youth potion..." "What the...?" Mousse stared at the young Cologne. Cologne leapt at the group, one leg outstreched for a powerful kick... Suddenly a small blur flew at Cologne, attaching itself to her torso. "Sweet! Cologne-chan is back!" Cologne squealed, "Eeek! Hentai! Get it off me!" Happi glomped onto her chest, clinging on as he nuzzled his face between her breasts. While Cologne was distracted, Ranma took his moment of advantage and charged, "Get her!" Kodachi spun out her ribbon, tying Happousai to Cologne with a flick of her wrist as Mousse's volley of weapons rained down on the youthened woman and the hentai. Kunou charged towards her, initating his pattern strike, while Akari urged Katsu-nishiki to trample her. Mikado, Shampoo, Ukyou, Ryouga, Akane and Ranma all charged head-long into the fray. Cologne was forced to back up, acrobatically dodging the attacks aimed at her, and using Happousai, still attached to her breasts, as a shield. Soon, however, the sheer force of her attackers began to overwhelm her. she thought angrily. At this moment, Konatsu leapt off a roof and into the fight... His only mistake being to release a smoke bomb. When the smoke cleared and the coughing fits were over, Happousai was unconscious on the ground at Cologne's feet, her body now free from the confines of the ribbon. "Now, I'll pay you all back for your trouble!" She leapt at the group, now prepared for an even fight. Nabiki, as the tide turned in Cologne's favour, stood back from the fight, thinking. Mikado was easily felled by a slashing elbow, as he attempted his specialty kiss attack without his partners back up. Kodachi, enraged at seeing her husband injured, let her guard down and was wiped out a palm uppercut from Cologne. Nabiki's expression became calculating as she got an idea... Cologne slammed her fist into Kunou's face, spun, flik-flaked him, pivoted and finished him with a back elbow, backhand combo, putting him down cold. Nabiki yelled out to Ranma who moved back to talk to her. She whispered in his ear for a moment and he nodded. he thought. As Cologne tangled Mousse in his own weapons, spinning him around like a top as she used him as a shield from Shampoo, Ranma called out. "Stop fighting! Get back! We give up!" Everyone stopped fighting and stared at Ranma in dismay. Ryouga ran up to Ranma and grabbed him by the shirt front, "What do you think you're doing?!" Ranma shoved Ryouga back, whispering fiercely as he did so. Ryouga stared and nodded almost imperceptibly... Cologne chuckled and looked laudingly at them, "What is it, muko-dono? This woman too much for you?!" As Ranma glared angrily at Cologne, his chi began to flare again, while Ryouga spoke quietly to the others, who nodded. Ranma continued, "I merely want a real fight so the injured won't get hurt any more." Cologne snorted, but let Akane, Nabiki and Akari remove the unconscious fighters from the field of battle. "Now, Ghoul! Ikuze!" Ranma rushed towards Cologne, Ryouga following. As they attacked, the others moved back to tend the injured. As the fight began, Ukyou called out, "Stop it, Ryouga! I didn't really want to marry you, anyway! I don't love you! I'm sorry but I only just realised it now." Ryouga froze in place. Even though he knew what Ukyou was doing, his heart was encased in ice. Waves of depression washed over him, the air heavy around him. Ranma who was still concentrating on Cologne felt the air of depression. "NOW!" Ranm and Ryouga moved in unison charging forward and shouting at the same moment... "SHISHIHOUKOUDAN!" shouted Ryouga, unleashing his misery. "HIRYUSHOTENHA!" yelled Ranma, releasing his dragon spiral attack. The power of Ryouga's despair turned into energy, bursting forth in a pillar of explosive chi that blasted skyward in a radiating wave. As Ranma's whirlwind reached it's peak, Ryouga's energy was drawn into the spiral, charging it with power. Cologne realized too late what was happening. She barely has time to scream before she was sucked into the tornado of charged energy and thrown around inside the vortex, her body being slammed into walls of air with the strength of steel. The pillar of energy reached it's maximum velocity and then exploded as the two powers interacted and shorted out. Cologne was blasted unconscious and sent flying into the distance by the force of the explosion. Ryouga fell to his knees in the middle of a massive crater. Ukyou rushed to his side and hugged him tightly. "Ryouga-kun. I love you so much!" She felt so horrible about causing his depression, even though he had asked her to say those things. He looked up at her, still gripped by depression, "Hontou?" She nodded and held him tightly, "Now we can marry!" She kissed him softly, holding him close. Ranma watched Cologne sail over the horizon, then turned and smiled at the group. "That's that. Now you can get married!" he said, flashing a victory symbol. Toufuu-sensei, Kasumi and all the guests arrived seemingly from nowhere, standing near the edge of the crater. The doctor pushed up his glasses and nodded, "We can get married as soon as everyone regains consciousness!" Kasumi surveyed the damage, "Your wedding clothes will need to be cleaned. You can't have wedding photos looking like that!" Everyone face faulted, "..." [The Kunou Mansion, The Rose Garden] The minister stood on the expansive grass lawn, surrounded by delicately arranged beds of red, black and pure white roses. Most of the roses, on either side of the guests, were red or black. As Ranma looked about him, an amusing thought hit him, With the grooms and guests in place again, the brides began their stately walk down the aisle, formed between the two rows of chairs that the guests were now sitting on. Sasuke played the Wedding March on a piano accordion as the bridal party moved down the aisle. Although all the couples had freshened up, they still bore some of the scars of battle and looked a little the worse for wear. This time, the brides made it to their grooms with no interruptions. Ukyou stood next to Ryouga. Nabiki joined Kunou. Akari moved next to Konatsu while Mousse took Shampoo's hand. Finally, Kasumi moved to stand next to Toufuu, her eyes shining. The minister nodded to himself, gave a cautious glance around for flying projectiles, then, seeing none, began the ceremony. The couples exchanged their vows and placed rings on each others fingers. Each couple repeated the words, "I do..." as they placed the rings on their love. Most of the female guests began to cry, but none were a match for Souun however. "I now pronounce you..." the minister erred. "...you all... Husbands and wives. You may now kiss the brides!" Each groom took his bride in his arms, Kunou and Ryouga lifting their wives' veil, and kissed her. The guests jumped up, cheering and throwing confetti and streamers at the couples, "Congratulations!" Before too long, everyone was in the Kunou's banquet hall, beginning the reception feast. Each bride and groom were filled with happiness, loving their new spouse with all their heart. Ranma placed a hand on Akane, smiling at her, "You know... This kind of reminds me of our wedding." Akane smiled, "Although this was a little more eventful..." Ranma grinned and kissed her, "Just a little..." [Akari's Room, Unryuu Residence] Akari and Konatsu stood close together, his arms around her as they kissed. The newlyweds slowly started undressing each other, their wedding clothes discarded by the bed... [Kunou's Room, The Kunou Mansion] Kunou stepped into his and Nabiki's new room. It was actually Kunou's old room, but it had been enlargened to Nabiki's standards, and tastefully decorated, too. Nabiki had made Kunou take all of the female Ranma's photos off the walls, leaving her own smiling visage gazing at anyone who had the bad luck to enter this room. He placed Nabiki down on the soft water bed, kneeling next to the bed, and kissed her lips. He opened the bottle of champagne that had been pre-chilled for this occasion, pouring out the sparkling liquid into two glasses. Then he handed her a glass, taking the other one. "To our new life together, my beloved one." They clinked glasses. "To our new life," Nabiki smiled, then took a sip. Kunou downed his glass in a moment, then placed the empty crystal cup next to the bottle. Nabiki lowered her glass next to his, smiling at him with a wicked gleam in her eyes. She reached behind herself, and undid the zip to her wedding dress. "Saa, Tacchi... are you ready for this night?" He nodded, gazing into her eyes, "I have been awaiting this time for so long, my beloved goddess." She wriggled out of her beautiful wedding dress, laying back on the bed, her long legs dangling over the side. She was dressed in the skimpiest outfit that Kunou had ever seen. It was nothing more than mere wisps of see-through, deep pink material. Her curvy body was displayed, her breasts and hips highlighted, rather than hidden, by the material... Kunou stared, then started to strip himself of his tuxedo, "Such beauty, my love! I am even more ready to show you my love, my darling princess!" Nabiki watched him, enjoying seeing his wonderfully built body coming into view. She smiled, "Now you are my husband... Come, please me, Tacchi." He knelt before her, sliding his arms under her waist, bending down to kiss her. As Nabiki kissed back, his hands worked at slipping off the skimpy outfit from his beloved wife. She slid her arms around his neck... and lifted her legs, wrapping them around his waist. She smiled as they broke the kiss, "I do love you, Tacchi," she whispered softly in his ear, "I'm happy to be your wife, no matter how it may seem at times... I didn't marry you to get your money, Tacchi. There are much easier ways to do that... Just remember that I love you..." She squeezed him gently... Kunou blinked, most of this flying over his head. "And I love you, my dear goddess." Nabiki smiled softly, then kissed him again, with a soft passion, this time. Her arms twined around his back, and she pulled him down against her, holding him to her warm body... A hand sliding down and under him, to take hold of his length, guiding him to her opening... He gasped softly, feeling her hot, damp opening at the tip of his manhood... And he couldn't stop himself from pushing into her. The pleasure of her womanhood surrounding his length shot through him, her pink inner walls like a velvet glove, squeezing him as he entered her... Nabiki moaned softly, his length parting her, moving deep into her body... She tightened her grip around his waist, trying to hold still... Kunou circled his hips, his asoko moving deep into her from different angles, trying to elict a cry of pleasure from her lips... He watched her face through half opened eyes... rocking against her... Her hands stroked up and down his back, her body pushed back in the waves of the water bed as her love rocked into her, pushing her into the bed... Her eyes met his, glimmers of love shining in her eyes... They moved together, rocking with the slow waves of the bed... Nabiki moving to his rhythm, her hands stroking his back, slowly, up and down as her legs gripped his waist tightly, each time he thrust into her... His hands holding her to him as he moved... Both staring into each other's eyes as they made slow love... Before long the rocking, the grip of Nabiki's sex against his length, the feeling of Kunou rocking againt her, his pelvis grinding occasionally against her clitoris, all proved too much for the couple... and they both came, orgasming together, their juices combining deep inside Nabiki... Their lips met... resting for a while, both covered in dampness from their love making... Before too long, they started again... their love making becoming more and more passionate as the night continued. [Meanwhile, Shampoo and Mousse's Room, Nekohanten] Shampoo, throwing off her pretty wedding dress, bounced into Mousse's arms, kissing him deeply. "Now you're Shampoo's real husband..." she whispered to her love, "Our village accepted your victory over me... Hiibaa-chan is gone... and we're alone." Mousse smiled, removing his glasses, "And tonight we will celebrate." They celebrated their wedding all through the night. [Meanwhile, Akane and Ranma's Room] Ranma sat reading a book to Miyabi, while Akane tidied up the room, getting out the futon and Miyabi's cot. "Hey, Akane. What do you think the others are doing?" Akane turned and gave him a withering look, "What do you think?!" "Huh?" Akane smiled, "Do you remember our wedding night?" Ranma suddenly got the picture. "Oh! Sure! Yeah! I remember. Heh... How could I forget?" he said, grinning sheepishly. Akane frowned for a moment and then smiled, "Yeah... How?" [Meanwhile, A Beach Somewhere] Ryouga blinked, carrying Ukyou in his arms. "I'm sure that Ucchan's was this way..." Ukyou hmmed softly, looking up. She had been daydreaming too much of their future together that she hadn't noticed Ryouga carrying her in the wrong direction, instead of over the threshold. They were at a small stretch of beach, forming a cove. The sands were warm, almost hot, beneath Ryouga's feet. Even the sea seemed warm... steam rose from the waves as they lapped on the shore. Behind the forest, creating the secluded cove, a volcano towered in the distance... "Ukyou-chan, suman. I got lost again..." Ukyou looked around, a smile on her lips, "Iie, Ryouga. It's perfect..." He let her down, scratching the back of his head, "Are you sure?" She smiled, the moon glinting on the warm sea waters. She turned to face him, reaching up and undoing her dress... She set it down on Ryouga's ever present backpack, then stood up, clad only in her risque, white panties and her silken bra. As Ryouga looked about ready to faint, she wrapped her arms around him, kissed him deeply, then pulled away, "You won't faint on me, tonight, love. Remember your training!" With that, she winked and ran a little way down to the water's edge. Ryouga's mind almost blanked out, but with all of her teasing and attempted seductions, he'd managed to build up some resistance against his nose bleeds when with her. Ukyou smiled, "Come and get me, Ryouga-kun... The water's nice and warm!" Ryouga gulped, but wanted to be with her so much... now he would finally let himself be one with her... He slipped off his shirt, feeling his new wife's eyes on him... Then his trousers followed. He looked at her, not being able to hide his blush, and walked to her... They stood in the warm water, ankle deep, and kissed. Both held each other in a passionate embrace. Ukyou slid her arms down his back, hooking her fingers into his pants when she found them... and slid them down... Ryouga's blush grew deeper, but he kissed her with more passion, his own hands fumbling at her lingerie... until Ukyou helped him... Their clothing fell into the water, the waves pushing the cloth to the sand... Neither of the two newly weds noticing. Ukyou pulled away from him, and grinned, "Catch me!" She turned and started running lazily through the water. The wet sand felt good under her feet as she ran, her feet splashing the water as she moved... Turning her head to watch Ryouga, she laughed, completely happy. He watched her, blushing more as he felt the effects of her wonderful, naked body running in front of him. A look from her, and her sweet laughter, drove him into action as he started the chase her through the warm waves. They ran, together, around the cove, both enjoying the playful chase. Before they reached the end, Ryouga moved a little faster, catching Ukyou in his arms, his hands sliding around her waist as he pulled her close. Laughing, she turned around, falling backwards, landing in the soft sands beneath the shallows with a splash... pulling Ryouga down on top of her. They kissed each other deeply, their passion and tenderness all focused in this kiss... The night deepened, leaving starlight and the moon to shine down on the couple. As the waves splashed over the couple in the steamy waters, they held each other, stroking their loved one. Ukyou's hands ran up and down Ryouga's back, down to his rear, then back up again, stroking his wet body... His arms around her, touching her skin with tender caresses... Feeling her body under him, so soft and warm, turned him on even more. His blush grew as he started to nibble at her neck, his hand moving to caress one of her rounded breasts. His fingertips brushed over her hardened nipple causing a groan to escape her lips... Ukyou leaned her head back, groaning out Ryouga's name... his touch turned her on so much... She could feel his hardness against her thigh... and moved her legs a little to wrap around him. She slid a hand onto his, showing him how to play with her nipple... "Mmm... That's it....." she groaned out in a soft voice... Ryouga's fingers worked around her nipple, then pinched it gently, loving the sounds she made as he played with her. He wriggled a little, rather uncomfortable at feeling so turned on. Ukyou had tried to seduce him so many times, but he had always stopped her... but he wasn't used to being naked in her arms, exciting her. He concentrated at her neck, remembering when he had given in, that first time, to her seductions... She had taken control, pleasing him first... She pushed up against him, pressing her hips to him, moving a little till her sex rubbed against his skin. She rocked under him, the waves lapping around her body... Wanting him so badly... She knew she was more than ready for her love... "R...ryouga... Please... enter me... make me yours..." She guided a hand down to his manhood... His body, moving against hers, stiffened a little at her touch. He half closed his eyes, a gasp escaping his lips, brushing over the tender skin of her neck... He raised himself over her, his hands digging into the water covered sands at either side of her shoulders, following her gentle guidance... Slowly, she moved him down against her, the top of his hardness at her sweet opening... the sea waves washing around them... She moved up to kiss him, pulling him to her... and she groaned as as he bucked forward, pushing himself down, into her... Ryouga suddenly felt the sweet joy of being in the woman he loved more than anything. His eyes opened wide and he cried out, having pushed into her, so fast and deep by accident... He looked into her face, and saw her pain at her virginity being taken so suddenly. "U...ukyou-chan! I ... I didn't mean to hurt you! I-I'm s..sorry!" She could see the pain in his eyes at having hurt her, and she gave a gentle smile, through the pain. "Ryouga... I knew it would hurt a little. Don't stop this, love..." She pulled his head down and kissed him... the pain already starting to fade. Then her hips started to rock, slowly at first until he joined in... then they moved, almost flowed together as the waves pounded on the shore... Both lost in the feelings of their love making. Shudders of pleasure rushing through him as his hardness entered her tight opening, even through the water around them... Ukyou moaning as he moved against her, his length rubbing against her tender inner walls... Making love until they both came together, Ryouga's seed released in her body, mixed with her honey... But neither of them was ready to stop... Kissing, making love in the warm sea, the newlyweds moved on the sand, water moving around them, pounding onto the beach as the night progressed... [Toufuu's Room, Ono Toufuu's Clinic] Dr. Toufuu carried his beloved over the threshold into the clinic, the place that they would make their home together. He smiled at her, a little shy. He loved her with all of his heart, wondering if their marriage was one of his daydreams, and she might disappear at any moment. Although they had dated for a long time, and he had proposed to her, he still wondered. She was his perfect woman. Kasumi, held in her husband's arms, rested her head against his shoulder, her arms around his neck. She gazed up at him, knowing that she would be happy as his wife. She wanted to do anything she could to make him happy, even though she had to leave the Tendou-ke, and the doujou, in Nodoka's hands, until Akane was able to take over. He carried her through the reception, the clinic, then into his own, private room. Attached to the room was a kitchen, and a small living room. Most of the rooms were plain, but with Kasumi's touch, it would become the perfect home. Setting Kasumi lightly down on the floor, Toufuu closed the bedroom door. Kasumi smiled at Toufuu, suddenly feeling rather shy. She knew all about sensuality and pleasure, but she had not yet tried anything more than kissing her love... but she was ready to make this night perfect... Toufuu was just as, if not more so, nervous than Kasumi. He had to make this the most memorable night in his beloved's life. He knew almost everything about the human body, even special, sexual tsubo points on the human body to give the greatest pleasure... He knew how to stimulate the human body, normally. Even with his knowledge, the doctor could not help being nervous. The newly married couple just gazed at each other, both blushing lightly. Kasumi smiled tenderly, "I can hardly believe that I am Kasumi Ono now..." Dr. Toufuu nodded, "Neither can I... Kasumi, this is the happiest day in my life." They moved close together, and soon kissed, their lips brushing lovingly against the other's. For a long moment, they just held each other, kissing with all their tenderness and love. Before too long, Kasumi broke the sweet kiss. She smiled up at him, "Toufuu..." She reached up and stroked his cheek lightly. Then she reached behind her and slowly unwound her obi. As Toufuu watched her, he grew even more nervous, his glasses starting to steam up, ever so slightly. Kasumi dropped the long piece of material to the floor, holding her kimono closed with one hand. She looked over at her husband, dressed in his outfit... and reached out with her hand, undoing his hakama... Toufuu caught her hand in his, and lifted it to his lips, "Kasumi... you are so beautiful..." Kasumi smiled, leaning against him. She pressed her soft lips to his once more, before stepping back. She reached up with her hand, undoing her hair, letting it cascade down her back, "Tonight is our night, Toufuu... love..." The doctor nodded, and slipped out of the confining montsuki and top... His hakama, already loosened, fell to the floor. Kasumi blushed, looking over his body, his toned muscles... and blushed even more as he stepped out of his underwear. Her eyes found their way down to his manhood. "Oh, my..." It was the doctor's turn to blush harder. His glasses steamed further when Kasumi carefully removed her three wedding kimono, placing them on the chair near the bed. She looked so beautifully sensual, yet innocent, in the white lingerie she was wearing. Toufuu could almost imagine her as an angel... so sweet and innocent she looked. He almost faltered, moving to her... As he slid his arms around her, pulling her to him, she reached up, removing his steamed glasses, laying them on the chair. Then her arms slid around his neck, and she moved up for another kiss... They stood, holding each other, kissing... Her hands stroking through his hair... He stroked her back... working off her bra in the process... When the kiss ended, they gazed into each others eyes... Then, kissing again, they started to explore each other's body... Kasumi's panties being slowly slid from her body... As they stroked each other, enjoying the feeling of their beloved's body, Toufuu edged his way to the bed, his new wife following... Whispering words of love as they explored, the doctor lifted Kasumi onto their bed... and he moved next to her. Kasumi, looking across at her husband, ran her hands down his body, stroking lightly... loving how he enjoyed her touch. Her fingertips soon brushed down, over his length... A shudder and moan escaped Toufuu's lips, causing him to touch her sweet sex lightly... A moan coming from her mouth... Taking time, they gently worked over each others bodies, trying to find the way they could please the other the most. They continued their foreplay until both were overcome with need... Kasumi's half opened eyes gazed up at him, pleadingly... Moving up on top of her, he gently parted her legs, laying against her wonderfully soft body. "Oh, Kasumi... My sweet, loving wife," whispered Toufuu, "Are you sure that you are ready?" She nodded, her eyes filled with not only her need, but her love, "I am, my sweet Toufuu..." With those words, her reached down, and guided himself to her wet slit... And slowly pushed in... He groaned with a deep pleasure as the head of his manhood pushed a little into her body... then he slid his arms around her, staring into her face, lovingly... Kasumi held onto him tightly, trusting him totally. She smiled her special, sweet smile, and relaxed... even as he pushed apart her petals, moving into her body... His fingertips pressed into her back... and she was flooded with a warm, tingling sensation... And he pushed into her. He watched the smallest trace of pain wash over her face, but it was gone, and he was deep inside her, past her virgin barrier. He stopped, reaching down to kiss all over her beautiful face, kissing away her tears. As she was rained in kisses, Kasumi held him tightly, tears running down her cheeks, not from the pain, but from the feeling of giving herself completely to the man she loved... After a few moments, Kasumi lightly squeezed his back, "I love you..." He smiled down at her, tenderly, "And I love you, Kasumi." Using all his knowledge, Toufuu started to press Kasumi's tsubo as his hips rocked gently against hers, heightening her pleasure. She held him close in her arms, the new pleasure flowing over her... They made slow, long love, both getting lost in the pleasure, losing their nervousness... concentrating on making love to the one that they loved the most... Their cries and moans echoing through the small room... both climaxing close together... leaving them to rest a while before continuing... their love growing even stronger. [Akane & Ranma's Room] Ranma gently placed his daughter in her cot, kissing her gently. "Goodnight, Miya-chan. Papa loves you." He ran his hand lightly through her hair. "Nai' nai'! Papa," Miyabi cooed, smiling up at him, "Love papa!" Ranma sighed happily stepping back to let Akane say goodnight to their daughter. "Love mama," said Miyabi, then began mumbling in baby talk, only to be stopped by a kawaii yawn. Soon, both Ranma and Akane readied themselves for the night, then turned out the lights and slipped into bed. They held each other close, eventually drifting off to sleep. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ranma nibun no ichi - Too Much Wedded Bliss??? [Epilogue] _____________________________________________________________________________ [Meanwhile, Somewhere in Low-Earth Orbit] The moonlight washed over Nerima like the silvery waters of a waterfall, the stars twinkling in the night sky. Up in space, all Cologne could see was the moonlight reflected off the roofs of the town. She could not hear the cries of passion from the newlywed's houses, nor could she feel anything but Happousai, who was better attached to her than a facehugger-alien. Cologne looked down at Happi, "You jumped into the whirlwind on purpose, didn't you?!" her clothes almost shredded from the power of the Hiryuushishishotenhoukoudanha. Happousai nuzzled against her, happy that she was took weak to fight him off, "Of course, Cologne-chan! But just be quiet and let an old man enjoy his last years of pleasure before he dies." Cologne growled, "As soon as I recover, you're going to pay for this Happi..." She then looked down at Nerima and scowled, "And so will they..." Happi ignored her and continued to rub against her chest.
