The scene is a rather modern laboratory, in a room with stone walls complete with drips of slime and cobwebs in the corner. Glass cases glow with high-powered halide lights, and display growing flowers of every imaginable variety (and a few un-imaginable ones). The other side of the room is brightly lit with flourescents, but sinister shadows are still cast by the powerful grow lights. A figure stands over a table wearing some sort of respirator mask as she assembles a flower arrangement. You can't see her face, but that laugh... Kodachi: Oh-hohohoho!! One whiff of this bouquet and you will be mine! All I have to do is wait until the moment of peak effect and draw the attention of my beloved with a simple phrase like "Ranma my love, let's run away and be together forever!" Oh-hohohohohohoho!! Scene fades, roll credits. All Ranma characters obviously property of Rumiko Takahashi. Many thanks to Rumiko-sensei for such a rich and entertaining universe. Ranma 1/2 For Better or for (Even) Worse [Part 1] by Omnedon jallen9@idt.net Lemon Fanfic Warning! If you are offended by this sort of material, then don't read it! Duh! Credits fade... Ranma is casually walking along the top of a fence. Ranma: That was easy! Told 'em I had to meet with my counselor before school and had to skip breakfast, even dad's cooking isn't as bad as Akane. Now I have enough time to detour by the Neko Hanten for some real food. Ranma does not notice that Akane is following him, her expression is "intent" and she is gaining rapidly, also going along the fence. He soon hops to the ground, he is approaching the door to Neko Hanten. Akane has nearly caught up to him as Ukyou comes around the corner. Ranma: Hi Ucchan! Want to- Akane: RANMA! I wondered why your counselor always set appointments on the days that I had to cook, NOW I KNOW WHY! Ranma: But I- Shampoo: Ranma smart! Ranma know Shampoo much better wife than Akane! Akane: But I tricked you! Kasumi made breakfast today! Ranma: Wha...? Akane watches Ranma's expression and looks smug. Shampoo and Ukyou are suprised, then livid. They both look about to speak when they are interrupted. A figure careens by on rollerskates, wearing a black bandana tied around his face. He thrusts a bundle of flowers into Ranma's hands and skates away. At once, before Ranma can react, Akane, Shampoo, and Ukyou grab the flowers away. Ukyou: It's Kodachi again! Shampoo: Shampoo save Ranma! Akane: He's my fiance, you stay out of this! Each of them pull at the bouquet, it breaks appart and envelopes them in a cloud of irridescent blue-green pollen. They each sneeze and look at each other, eyes becoming glassy. Ranma: ENOUGH! I've had it with the 3 of you fighting over me! Why can't you all just be friends and get along with each other?! Just let me have some peace! Startled, their attention is drawn to Ranma. They glance at each other and smile vacantly, then turn back to Ranma. Akane/Shampoo/Ukyou: We LOVE you RANMA! Ranma's face falls in disbelief, then he faints as all three advance with arms outstretched. Kodachi: Oh no! What have I done? Scene fades to... The Tendo residence. Soun and Genma are playing their usual game. Genma is visibly sweating and losing badly. Kasumi is in the kitchen and all of the others are off to school, leaving no distractions to "take advantage of". The door opens and Genma smiles. Genma: This should do it... Akane: Good news Dad! We've decided on a date for the wedding! Shampoo: Big, big ceremony. 3 brides. Ukyou: Isn't this just wonderful?! Scene fades to... Ranma's perspective. Everything is blurry, but he can recognize that he is in his own bed, and 3 persons are looking over him. Akane: He's coming around. Ranma, are you OK? Ranma: Hi Akane, I just had the wierdest nightmare... Good morning Nabiki, Kasumi... Shampoo: Not Nabiki. Ukyou: And I'm not Kasumi either. Ranma: Oh no... Ukyou: Akane, if we hurry, we can still make it to class. Akane: Sure Ucchan. Ranma, you don't look so good, you just lie back here and I'll tell them you're sick at school. See you after school! Ranma: She's leaving me here with... And she left with... And she's CHEERFUL?! Why do I have a bad feeling about this? Shampoo: Ranma never eat breakfast. Shampoo get breakfast. Ranma: But- Shampoo: Ranma not worry. Shampoo not let great-grandmother cook. Shampoo not tell great-grandmother until after. Ranma: After? After what? Scene fades to... A couple of blocks away from Neko Hanten, a very irate Kodachi holds Sasuke (with his rollerskates) suspended by the front of his shirt. Kodachi: WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! Sasuke: You told me to- Kodachi: I did not tell you to give it to him with THEM around! Sasuke: You did not tell me not to- Kodachi: Go to school and tell them I am ill. Then come home. I will require your assistance in the laboratory. Scene fades to... Ranma's bedroom. Ranma is unmoved from last we saw him. Soun and Genma are sitting at the edge of the bed. Soun looks barely recovered from crying. Genma is very serene and calm. Genma: Well son. Do you wish to tell us about the wedding? Ranma: What wedding? Genma: Akane very clearly said "We've decided on a date for the wedding." Ranma: I never heard of no- Genma: So you are denying it. Ranma: No pop- I don't know- Kodachi- Genma: I don't want to hear about Kodachi! I want you to do something about this and I want it done NOW! Ranma: Well, now what do I do? I can't approach Cologne with this, she'd either like the idea or weasel some way of only curing Ukyou and Akane while trying to still fix me up with Shampoo. Hmmm... I wonder if Dr. Tofu would be able-- Genma: <"appears" next to Ranma's bed, still enraged> I TOLD YOU TO MOVE NOW! NOW! NOW! Scene fades to... Dr. Tofu's office, Ranma has just finished describing the morning's events. Tofu: I see. Unfortunately, I am not an expert in exotic plants, we will have to get a sample of this pollen and send it to the university. There should still be plenty of pollen in their hair, be careful not to breathe it in. Take this note, and you will have to hurry, if they shower after gym class... Scene fades to... The school hallway. Ranma is at a dead run, he turns a corner and... Hinako: Ranma! You're supposed to be home, sick. Ranma: WAIT! I have note! Doctor note! Must find Akane and Ukyou! Hinako: Half of being a teacher is being able to tell the difference between students bad handwriting and doctors bad handwriting. Well, go. But no more running! Ranma "walks quickly" down the hall, turns a couple more corners then starts running again. He looks at the clock as he runs and then puts on even more speed. Without slowing down he bursts into the girls locker room and heads for the showers. When he hits the wet tile, he loses his footing and slides the rest of the way, plowing into Akane and Ukyou. All 3 slide to a stop under a running shower. Ranma can only stare dazed as the water runs blue-green down a nearby drain. Ukyou: What's the matter Ranma, couldn't you wait? Assorted girls: There he is! Ranma: Wha-AUUUGGHH! Hinako: Drag the delinquent outside, he'll recover soon enough. Scene fades to... Outside Neko Hanten. Ranma checks to see that Cologne is in front by the register, then sneaks around back to find Shampoo. Ranma: Shampoo, you need to come with me, we have to go to Dr. Tofu's office. Shampoo: Why? Shampoo not sick. Ranma: No, you're not sick. You umm... She'd never agree if she knew why... Umm... It's a physical, for the wedding. Shampoo: Ooh! Shampoo so happy! Shampoo cry! Cologne: So son-in-law finally wised up, eh? Ranma: Wha-! Yeah, appointment on short notice, gotta go! Scene fades to... Dr. Tofu's office. He is wearing a filter mask and has just finished brushing out Shampoo's hair over a sheet of white paper, it is covered with a thin layer of blue-green dust. He collects the dust in several plastic bags, which he then seals. He ushers both of them out of the room before removing the mask. Tofu: I will send these to a couple of friends at the university. I should hear back in a couple of days. Ranma: Can you come back home with me and explain this to my father? Tofu: Sure. Let me get an envelope ready and I can drop these in the mail on the way. Shampoo: Shampoo go back to Neko Hanten, see Ranma later. Scene fades to... Approaching the Tendo house, Ranma and Tofu are talking. Tofu more than Ranma. Ranma: Why does that grin of hers make me think she has something up her sleeve. Because she ALWAYS has something up her sleeve. We're almost here, I'll run up and make sure... Oops, almost said the 'K' word. Pop and Mr. Tendo are home. Ranma runs ahead, the scene shifts to inside just as Ranma sticks his head inside the door. Ranma: Umm... Dr. Tofu is with me, is Kasumi around? Genma: What are you... Soun: Kasumi is out shopping, has Dr. Tofu solved our problem? Ranma: Not exactly, why don't you let him explain... Here he is. Tofu comes in and greets Soun and Genma, then sits down. Genma: So have you figured out what the problem is? Soun: And can you fix it? Tofu: Well, it seems that Kodachi has- Genma: What?! Why didn't you tell me Kodachi was involved in this?! Ranma: I- Soun: I think Ranma tried to tell us earlier, but now that Dr. Tofu is here, we should listen to what he has to say. Genma and Ranma glare at each other. Tofu: Right... Apparently Kodachi has made another attempt at getting Ranma for herself. Someone on rollerskates gave Ranma a bundle of flowers. Ranma: Probably Sasuke... Tofu: All three of the girls grabbed the bundle away from Ranma, and when it broke apart, they all inhaled this. I have sent a few of the samples to the university, I should get an answer within a few days. Soun/Genma: A few days? Tofu: The pollen seems to have some psycho-suggestive qualities to it. Ranma tells me that he said he wanted them to stop fighting over him, then he had a blackout and woke up in his own bed with the three of them standing over him. Soun: So what do you suggest we do until you get an answer from the university? Tofu: Try to keep them from doing anything... Permanent. Genma: Permanent? Like what? Kasumi: Hello! I'm home! Soun/Genma/Ranma: Oh no! Tofu: K-Kasumi! What a nice suprise! Do you come here often? Scene fades to... The Tendo household, around the table. Soun, Genma, Kasumi, Nabiki, Ukyou, Shampoo, and Ranma are present. Ukyou sits across from Ranma, while Shampoo sits next to him, there is an empty space on the other side of him. Ranma: Everybody is here except... !!! Ukyou is here, so Ucchan's is closed, I sure don't want to face Cologne at Neko Hanten... Umm... I'm not feeling very well tonight, I think I'll skip dinner. Ukyou: Why Ranma? You're the last person I expected to turn down food. Ranma: Well... Akane isn't exactly- Shampoo: Ranma be nice to Akane. No worry, Shampoo teach Akane cook. Ranma: Many have tried, all have failed. Akane: Dinner's ready! Akane emerges from the kitchen bearing a tray laden with several steaming dishes. She sets these on the table, sets the tray off to one side, then serves a portion to Ranma. Everybody looks at Ranma expectantly. Ranma: I'm doomed. Shampoo: Ranma like? Ranma: Yeah. This is good! Genma: He survived! Hey! Don't hog all of that for yourself! A short time later, all of the serving bowls are empty. Shampoo gets up from the table. Shampoo: Shampoo make special dessert! Ranma: I wonder how she did that? Kasumi and Nodoka have both tried to teach Akane cooking with... Less than ideal results. Ukyou: It was really quite simple. She just made sure Akane had everything needed for her recipes, and took everything else out of the kitchen. Ranma: Heh. Too bad nobody thought of that earlier, it would have saved- Ow! Ukyou: Maybe if you weren't so mean to her she could have concentrated on what she was doing rather than making mistakes because she was trying so hard to please you. Ranma: Oh, great. Now they're not fighting each other, they're ganging up on me! Dinner was very good tonight, thank you Akane. Akane: You're welcome! Shampoo: Here dessert! Hope you like! Everybody eats, comments how good they are. Genma makes an attempt at grabbing Ranma's plate but is blocked by Ukyou's spatula. The three girls glare at him until he gives up. Akane, Ukyou, and Shampoo clear the table after everyone finishes, they pick up dishes and utensils and head for the kitchen. Akane: Come up to my room in an hour, I have something for you. Ranma: Huh? Shampoo: One hour, not come early. Ranma: But- Ukyou: Don't bother knocking, just come in. Ranma: They're up to something, I just know it. Kasumi joins Shampoo in the kitchen, Soun and Genma draw beers and set up for a game. Nabiki yawns while writing figures into a book. Nabiki: I guess today was profitable. Early to bed, early to rise, something or other. G-nite. Genma: It's your move. Soun: Are you sure? I thought it was yours... Genma: Umm... Right. Now it's yours. Soun: Heheh... Almost fell asleep there. Is it my turn or... Genma: Mine. Maybe we finish this... Soun: Later. Tomorrow. Err... Later tomorrow. Soun and Genma slowly labor their way up the stairs. Ranma looks at their glasses, still half full, and wonders... Kasumi: G-nite Ranma. Kasumi goes up the stairs to her room. Ranma notices that she seems to be taking un-natural care to keep both hands on the rail as she goes. Ranma: Good night Kasumi. Everyone's gone crazy, even Kasumi. No other choice but to see what Akane has cooked up in an hour. Ranma waits. Pacing, staring at the clock, pacing some more. Finally the hour is up. Ranma slides Akane's door open, then steps inside. The room is lit by the soft flickering glow of many candles. Ranma sees eyes glittering at him out of the shadows, slowly his eyes adjust and he realizes that Akane and Shampoo sit on her futon, clad (mostly) in sheer gowns and drapes. Ranma: I... err... If I don't get out of here...! I gotta find Ukyou! Ukyou: Right here, Ranma! Now we're all here and all set to begin! Ranma: But Nabiki! She'd have us cold with pictures like this! Our fathers will kill us! Shampoo: Ranma not worry! Shampoo make special dessert! Everybody sleep, not interrupt! Ranma: I ate some of that! But I don't feel tired... Shampoo: Silly Ranma. Shampoo make 'Extra' special dessert for Ranma. Ranma not sleep. Ranma up all night! Ranma: I don't think this- Ukyou: Don't think, just do. You see? Even if the mind is unsure, the body still knows what it wants. They all kiss Ranma as they strip him down to his boxers, each pair of hands taking more than one opportunity to feel his bulge, almost as if reassuring themselves that it was still there. Then they pulled him down to kneel by a small table that Ranma had not noticed before. On it was a flask of sake, and a small cup. Ranma: Wha- Ukyou: Shh... Shampoo moved to the side, revealing to Ranma that Akane had poured the sake and was even now turning the cup in her hands with a careful focus. As she hands it to him, he gazes over the rim of the cup at the window. It was closed. Suddenly he notices something hard pressed into his back, even as Shampoo is working one hand under the elastic of his boxers, she holds a bonbori in the other. Ukyou also seems to have moved between him and the window... Ranma: I am in DEEP trouble and... I am trapped. Ranma takes the cup from Akane and sips at it. She takes a sip for herself and then carefully places it back on the table. Ukyou then knelt across from Ranma at the table. Pouring more Sake, she turns the cup before handing it to Ranma. He drinks, then Ukyou before Shampoo kneels at the table. She pours a generous portion, then moves to press herself against Ranma's side once more. She holds the cup near his lips as she reaches the other arm around him. Dipping one finger, she works it into his mouth, finding and stroking across his tongue. Suprised, he opens his mouth to speak but she takes the opportunity to pour a considerable gulp of the sake into his mouth where he swallows by reflex. Shampoo: There, the alcohol will help the special spices. Shampoo poured a bit more in the cup, then passed it to Akane and Ukyou. She took her own final sip and then hugged the other two tightly. As one they turned and looked at Ranma. He stood and stumbled back sitting on the bed. His expression was almost pained as he absently rubbed his fingers over the taut fabric of his boxers. They joined him on the bed, Ukyou pushed his shoulders down while Akane and Shampoo worked his waistband past his erect manhood. Ranma gasped as they ran kisses up and down his length. Then Shampoo guided Akane astride Ranma, with her knees to either side of his hips. One hand guided him to her opening, while the other palm worked over her mons. Akane moaned, her body beginning to move in time with Shampoo's hand, her breath came short as he slowly penetrated. There was a brief resistance, as it broke and he suddenly filled her, Akane cried out sharply. Ranma: Akane?! Are you alright? Ukyou: Akane is doing just fine. Akane had frozen, but soon began to rock her hips. First with small movements, but then wildly as she fell forward on top of Ranma. He gasped and began to return her thrusts, her hand found his braid and pulled. This served to thrust his jaw up into the air as she worked around, sucking and nibbling at his neck. They clutched at each other and cried out as their bodies spasmed in ecstacy. Their frantic motion subsided, and they gently held each other. Akane: I love you Ranma. Ranma: I love you too Akane. You are beautiful, and even cute. Akane slowly moved off to the side with a deep sigh, their fingers remained meshed and it seemed forever that they gazed into each others eyes. Shampoo: Ranma drink. Ukyou turn next. Ukyou: It looks like it might take him a while to recover- Shampoo: No need wait! Shampoo know technique! See! Ranma ready now. Ukyou moved into position at Shampoo's guidance. She was very wet and immediately guided Ranma into herself. Slowly she lowered until Ranma suddenly thrust upward. Ukyou: IIEEEAAA- Shampoo: The drug is working well now. After he is done with Ukyou, he'll last forever for me. Through clenched teeth, Ukyou's screams change to moans of pleasure. She slowly begins to work in counterpoint to Ranma's thrusts and soon screams of a different nature escape her lips. His eyes are closed, and his expression is that of slack bliss. As Ukyou recovers her breath, Ranma rolls until he holds himself above her, his jaw set as he pistons in and out with no mercy. Akane reached out and ran her fingertips along his arm, he grasped her hand and clutched it tightly as his orgasm mounted. His explosion drew Ukyou into her second climax as they madly ground into each other. Ukyou: Oh Ranma. I love you so much. Ranma: Ukyou, my best friend, I hope we are together forever. Shampoo: Now Shampoo next. Now Ranma take Shampoo! Shampoo flung herself back on the bed, legs spread wide in anticipation. Ranma takes another quick swallow before setting the flask down. Idly fingering his cock, he moved to the bed. Ranma positioned himself and speared into her savagely. Shampoo: Ah! Oww! Ranma: You're finally getting what you've wanted and now you complain? Ukyou: You're hurting her! Akane: Ranma! You have no need to be that rough, I c- can't let you hurt Shampoo. Ranma subsided and moved to put one arm around Akane's shoulders, drawing her in for a long kiss. Shampoo recovered her breath and began to rock her hips, mewls of pleasure escaped as Ranma settled into a slow, steady pace. Shampoo: Ooh! Ranma so good! Aaeeyah! Shampoo love Ranma! Again! Harder! Ranma drove into her with renewed vigor, Shampoo alternately squealing in ecstacy or imploring him to go deeper, harder. Ukyou: Is she for real? As Shampoo's screams reached yet another peak, Ranma's muscles clenched and he came with a bellow. Slowly they came to a stop, both breathing heavily. Shampoo: Shampoo love Ranma. Ranma love Shampoo? Ranma: Uh.. Yeah, that was great, you're pretty wild. Akane: Ranma, do you want... Can you...? Ranma: Sure, anything for you. Shampoo, can you- Shampoo: Shampoo fix! Ukyou: Wait! I want to see how you do that. Shampoo: Pressure points here, here, here, one finger, one finger, then 3 finger. Akane climbed up into Ranma's lap, guided him into her, and then settled into a slow cycle as they held each other tight in their arms. Ukyou: So where did you learn that technique? Shampoo: Find book Great-grandmother hide from Shampoo. Practice on Mousse, make forget-tea. Now know why Mousse always uptight, Mousse too stubborn to finish self. Ukyou sits on the bed and soon Shampoo joins her, they watch Akane and Ranma who are oblivious to all else in the room. She occasionally glanced over to see Shampoo at first angry, then resigned. After Ranma and Akane finished, Ukyou had to see if she could hit the pressure points properly. When they finished, Akane got him 'ready' for Shampoo. Finally Ranma could go no longer and fell asleep, they carefully put his boxers and shirt on, then took him to his room and put him into his futon. Genma snored without a pause. Scene fades, roll end credits. FORBET01.TXT Sep 12 1996 jallen9@idt.net Note: Due to a mailer less than compatible with a high volume list, I do not read the ML.
