        WARNING!!!  This is the fifth (Wow, five already?!) of the Lemonade
        Punch series!  This is a Ranma *LEMON*.  If you're offended by this
        or are just plain tired of Ranma FanFics (How could anyone be tired
        of Ranma FanFics? ^-^) then go away and never return!  LP#5 was quite
        a project, longer than the whole LP series combined, but it was fun
        to write.  Oh yeah, one other thing I should warn you about: Reading
        this utter nonsense is a complete waste of time unless you have
        nothing better to do!  Now that that's done, below is the key for the
        complex code system I use and has left many readers baffled in its
        mist.  Finally, if you don't get a complete copy of this FanFic or 
        want to get the previous stories (which you should have read by now,
        otherwise this lemon might not make much sense... heh, not that they
        make much sense to begin with) E-mail me the line that your copy got
        cut off on or the story you want and I'll be happy to oblige.  Well
        enough talking... on with the FanFic!

                     Lemonade Punch #3: "My Bright-Eyed Girl"

                                                by Paladin
                                        

                *<KRACK!!!>*
                *<Brrrrmmmrrmmmrmrr>*
                The flash of lighting and deep rolling sound of thunder
        caused Ranma to silently curse.  His head turned upward to the gray
        skies and watched as the clouds gathered and darkened.  A single
        raindrop hit his cheek.  The sporadic sound of raindrops quickly
        became a steady patter then changed over to a torrential downpour,
        drenching Ranma-chan.  She sneezed and sniffled slightly but shook
        her head and ignored it.
                It stunk that it was pouring.  She had promised to take
        Akane out on a picnic; a rare romantic venture for Ranma.  She was
        beginning to realize that her relationship with Akane required care
        and maintenance... it couldn't be left alone to stagnate.  Yep, it
        definitely sucked that it was raining, but she wouldn't let that
        spoil her day.
                                        -=-=-
                Yasha stood before her superior, in a great marble hall.
        Actually, it wasn't marble at all but the stuffs which her dimension
        were formed from in the likeness of marble.  The female judge was a
        stunningly beautiful woman with short white hair and a youthful
        countenance.
                Yasha was no slouch herself, with a curvaceous and buxom
        body and long, raven black hair, fashioned in slight curls.  Her
        long, silky legs stretched all the way- to her feet.  She, too, was
        strikingly beautiful; the two of them could turn any male head and
        cause them to conjure up lustful fantasies.
                But not here.  That was because the hall was lined with
        gorgeous beauties such as themselves.  Any male who wound up in there
        would find his head unscrewed from all his head turning.  Besides
        that, any one of them could conjure up one's fantasies to the point
        that he would die of cardiac arrest (from excitement) or drowning (in
        one's own drool)... such was the nature of her race.
                "For the crime of insubordination... guilty.  For the crime
        of irresponsible social behavior, you are found guilty." That came as
        no surprise to Yasha.  There was no doubts about these crimes.
                "...and for the crime of conspiracy against the Sisterhood
        you are found not guilty."  This did not bring Yasha any sigh of
        relief... she had expected as much with such a weak case against her.
        Still, there was the chance of conviction but she didn't take that
        chance seriously... she hardly took anything seriously.
                In fact, she would probably tell off the judge and perform
        lewd acts before the court if it would not get her in too much
        trouble.  But it would so she wouldn't.
                "Any remarks Sister Yasha?", the Judge inquired.
                Yasha's eyes glinted and she opened her mouth to fire off
        some smart remark, but she held her tongue, remarkably.  She shook
        her head in the negative.
                "No?  You are hereby stripped of your rank as a Warrior and
        sentenced to probational dream duty.  Bailiffs?"
                Two uniformed amazons walked stiffly up to Yasha and
        unceremoniously ripped off her gown and took away her silver tiara.
        One moved to take her bra but Yasha held her at arms length with a
        cold glare.  She reached behind and unhooked the breast covering
        herself.  The Judge raised an eyebrow at that but chose to ignore it,
        the entire court was tired of this demoness and bringing it to
        attention would just keep her there longer.
                A red-head passed Yasha a card with the location of her next
        assignment and the two bailiffs ushered her out.  Before they got her
        out the door, Yasha turned and projected the loudest, rudest, and
        most smelly odor she could produce right in front of the Judge... and
        winked.
                                        -=-=-
                Ranma-chan tossed the soggy roses to one side and wiped her
        hands on her pants.  In her dash home she had completely forgotten
        that she was clutching a bunch of expensive flowers and had wacked
        them into this disastrous state.  No matter, she didn't need a bunch
        of over-priced flora to be romantic.  Perhaps dinner for two...
                "OWW!!", Ranma screamed as Panda stepped on her foot.
                "Ya big oaf!  Watch where-"
                "Oh  Ranma, you're home.  Please don't track any mud into the
        house.", said the always domestically conscious Kasumi.  Nabiki came
        up close and discreetly cupped Ranma-chan's crotch.
                "My, my, my Ranma...", she grinned, "You're awfully *wet*!"
        Ranma glowed bright red and began to sputter a fiery retort when
        Happousai glomped on to her chest.
                "Ranma, how kind of you!  Although I prefer a wet T-shirt to
        a wet shirt!"  Ranma screamed and struggled until she was able to
        punt Happousai through the wall and into the rain.  Ranma-chan stood
        there panting with her fists and teeth clenched, reflecting.
        Obviously a quiet candle-lit dinner was out of the question....
                                        -=-=-
                Yasha went down to the Dream Assignment Office as soon as the
        paperwork was done.  All the other succubi in this area were scantily
        clad if at all... here, clothes were a sign of rank.  She was allowed
        to keep her ankle and wrist bracelets to show she had formerly been
        a Warrior but for the sake of humiliation not honor.  Demoted to a
        mere dream patroller she would have to work herself back up the ranks
        to become a fully-fledged Warrior again.
                Yasha moved to the front of the line and smiled when she
        recognized the succubus behind the desk.  It was Opal, the very same
        succubus that assigned her dreams way back then.  Opal returned the
        smile and passed her a form.
                "Hello Opal, I see you have no desire to rise in rank."
                "Too risky, it's not worth it... you've ended up back here
        yourself, anyway."
                "Heh.  It's good to see you too, Opal."
                "That's *Sister* Opal.", Opal insisted.  She let out a sigh.
        "Why can't to ever stick to the conventions of being a succubus?"
                "Not true!  I'm a succubus in the truest sense; chaotic and
        free to do what I choose!  The conventions will change and go in
        another century or two, you'll see."
                "Nonetheless, they are the current ruling power and you are
        under their influence whether you like it or not... are you done
        with that form yet?"
                "Almost... here you go *Sister* Opal."  Opal looked over the
        form and nodded.  She typed something into her terminal and pressed
        the last key with punctuation.  A few seconds later a purple crystal
        popped out.
                "Here's your dream patrol, Sister Yasha.  Do your duty.
        Remember the Human Front is just as important as the other ones."
                "Bah!  There's no action... just a feeble attempt to corrupt
        the populous through wet-dreams.  You know-"  Opal silenced her and
        motioned for her to lean in close then spoke in hushed tones.
                "Yasha, this patrol came from the Magistrate herself.
        Perhaps it's an elite mission, but I don't know... something's funny.
        Please be careful, you're  one of the last real succubus."
                "What?  Opal, what do you mean-"  Opal ignored her.
                "Neeeext!", she called.
                                        -=-=-
                After a quick hot shower, Ranma prepared to console Akane.
        <She'll probably be upset that we can't go out today... I'll have to
        turn that to my advantage.>  He salvaged a presentable rose and fixed
        his hair.  Knocking lightly on her door, he quietly entered.
                "Akane, you okay?"  Akane was at her desk writing furiously.
                "Huh?  What's that?  Oh- sure.  I'm okay."
                "You sure?"  This was not quite what Ranma had expected.
                "Yeah, why shouldn't I be?"
                "Our picnic..."
                "Oh Ranma!  I'm sorry, I totally forgot with all this work!"
                Forgot?!?  Ranma was more than slightly annoyed.  He had
        humbled himself to the womanly arts of cooking to prepare the meal;
        He had slaved over five whole courses!  He had picked out the perfect
        location and reserved it by fencing the spot off.  Hell, he even had
        a straw wicker basted and a white-and-blue-checkered picnic blanket!!
        Adding the fact that it all had to be done in secret made it even
        tougher.  And she forgot?!?
                "You forgot?", Ranma tried to say evenly but failing.
                "Sorry, I suppose it doesn't matter since it's raining-"
                "That's not the point!", Ranma said more loudly than he
        intended.  Akane reflexively grew defensive at his tone.
                "What do you mean?"
                "Nevermind...", Ranma sighed.  It wasn't her fault it had
        rained.  She didn't know how much effort he put into it.
                "Here.", he held out the rose awkwardly, "This is for you."
                "Oh you're so sweet!"  She kissed him on the cheek.  Akane
        put the rose in her pencil holder and turned back to her work.  She
        spoke with her back to him.
                "First sunny day, we'll go out on that picnic, I promise."
        Ranma ground his teeth half because of her patronizing words and half
        because of her indifferent tone.  He got a grip, though.  The last
        thing he needed was a fight with Akane right now.
                Determined to do something romantic, Ranma moved up behind
        her and began working on her shoulders, kneading at tense muscles.
        Akane let out a sigh of gratitude.  She leaned back and closed her
        eyes, dropping her pen for the moment.
                "Mmm... that feels great...."  Encouraged by the appreciative
        response, Ranma brushed her hair aside and began planting kisses
        along her neck.  Akane giggled then pulled away, returning to her
        schoolwork.  But Ranma continued to suck at her neck.  He wrapped his
        arms around her waist and hugged her.
                "Ranma,", Akane giggled.  "I'm very busy!", she said more
        sternly.  Ignoring her, Ranma gently nibbled her earlobe then teased
        her ear with his tongue.  Akane squirmed.
                "I can't concentrate like this!  I've got a lot of work!
        Maybe later."  Ranma couldn't bring himself to stop.  He reached up
        and squeezed one of Akane's breasts.  She stiffened. 
                *<WHACK!>*
                Akane had spun around suddenly, managing to slap Ranma and
        knock him back with the chair at the same time.  He lay on his back,
        rubbing his cheek.
                "Baka!  What did you do that for?!?"
                "You pervert!  Why did you do that!?!"
                "Hey, it's not like I haven't done that before!"
                "I didn't ask for it!"
                "Che!  You try to be romantic-"
                "Oh go knock up your whores!"  Ranma cringed.  That... hurt.
                "You are *sooo* uncute!!!"  Akane flinched.  That had always
        irritated her but somehow it really wounded her this time.
                "GET OUT!!!"  Ranma saw her flinch and immediately regretted
        it, but guilt, anger, and pride held back his apology.  Not wanting
        to face this right now he slammed the door behind him as he left.
        Outside, Ranma turned around and raised his hand to knock...
        hesitated, then shook his head and walked away.
                At least the rain hadn't spoiled his day... no, he did that
        brilliantly on his own.
                                        -=-=-
                Yasha descended into the dream by the book.  There had been
        some strange disturbances early on but she somehow got through them.
        Entering the mind she normally could pick up exactly what was going
        on but interference let her only go by what she could get.  Yasha
        figured that the fogginess was probably the result of old age; most
        likely she was in some perverted, old man's fantasy.
                First things first, she assumed the likeness of the one being
        dreamed about.  Hmm, wild red hair tied in a tight short pony-tail,
        slight body yet very buxom (men have a tendency to exaggerate
        proportions in dreams), large glittery eyes, and finally a very soft
        and round derrie.
                Her attire was a standard, blue sailor school uniform.  And
        the setting was a typical teen-aged girl's room, stuffed animals and
        all (she doubted this man had ever actually been in a teen-aged
        girl's room).  She plopped herself onto the soft, pink bed and waited
        for further information.
                Masturbate.  What?  Oh... how typical.  She flipped up her
        skirt to find- what a surprise- she was pantiless.  Yasha worked
        herself methodically... okay, what next?  Ranma.  Huh?  Was she
        supposed to call out that name or was it hers?  Yours.  Okay, that
        way she can follow commands, right?  Wait.  Yasha grew slightly
        nervous... the fog was induced, this person had extensive control of
        his subconscious.  And even in that case, she should be able to
        detect more than what was given by the host.
                One side of the room fogged out revealing a misty darkness
        beyond.  Just barely, Yasha could make out an approaching figure.
                                        -=-=-
                "Jerk."
                "Idiot."
                "Pervert."
                "Stupid."
                "Jack- arrgh!"
                Insulting himself wasn't helping.  What he really wanted to
        do was go and make up with Akane.  But he couldn't bring himself to
        do it.  Shameful of his behavior, he wondered... why didn't he stop?
        Even he wasn't so dense as to realize that Akane wasn't in the mood.
        Hell, he practically had a harem of girls to do those kind of things
        for him... once.
                That was the problem, he had lost all his women.  Not that he
        exactly had a harem.  Most men, this sometimes included himself,
        fantasize about a having a dozen or more beautiful women pamper and
        please him in any way he chooses.  You know, grapes, fans, massages-
        the whole bit.
                Ranma's girls violently ripped off his clothes and pleased
        *themselves* with his body as if it were a piece of meat... not that
        his situation had been horrible, but most men granted with his harem
        would be glad to be rid of it after a week or so... maybe.
                So, as much as he groaned and complained, his pride loved to
        be the admiration of those girls.  Besides... as ashamed as he was
        to admit it... he missed the sex.  In his own way, Ranma was addicted
        to the Dust.  As much as he resisted them, he loved it and was
        beginning to need it.
                It was really beginning to bug him that they no longer made
        any advances toward him.  No flirting, advances, flaunting, or lewd
        jokes (except the occasionally Nabiki one).  They didn't tease him
        (not often, at least), tempt him, nor show any desire for him... it
        drove him nuts!  Ranma found himself trying to flirt with them or
        flaunt his physique to get them to display some sort of need... but
        no response.  Dr. Tofu's Amnesia Potion did the trick in curing the
        Passion Dust Junkies.
                As a result he found himself remarkably in need of female
        companionship.  Sudden withdrawal from the smothering affection of
        the women left Ranma in bad shape.  For a moment he had even
        considered Shampoo....  But he caught himself and Ranma moved to
        Akane.
                So the whole picnic affair wasn't completely a romantic
        venture, but more in hopes of getting lucky.  Akane had seen right
        through him when he groped at her like a hungry wolf, so he deserved
        the slap.  Ranma knew he was a jerk, he had reduced his relationship
        with Akane to his own base lusts... but he was only human!
                Whatever.  He let out a heavy sigh and sulked off to his
        room.  Ranma promised himself to make it up to Akane.  After cursing
        himself some more, he hit the lights, and went to sleep.
                                        -=-=-
                "Hentosai!", Yasha gasped.
                "It's always good to see you, Yasha.", Hentosai grinned.
                "I can't say the same, Half-breed."
                "Demons have always been ranked above the Succubi.  Show some
        respect for your superior!"
                "Mutt!  Humans- er- half-humans have no rank!"
                "That's because they are wild cards.  They can surprise you,
        easily."
                "Feh, I prefer your brother's ignorance to your arrogance any
        day."
                "It's not ignorance, it's idiocy!  He refuses to admit his
        heritage, he's got himself thinking he's a full blooded human!"
                "At least he behaves like one!  You're not a proper demon
        *or* human!"  She spat to one side with contempt.  Hentosai ruffled
        and recoiled.
                "Nonetheless!", he said regaining his composure, "I am asleep
        and have summoned you!  You will do as I wish!"
                "But demons don't dream!"
                "One of the many redeeming qualities of being half-human, my
        dear.  I can dream while fully awake and conscious.", he smiled.
        Yasha made a retching noise.
                "Whatever it is you want, you're not getting it!"
                "I summoned you! -You cannot!-", his face turned red as a
        beet.
                "I am- ...was, a Warrior.  Your summons is meaningless to me!
        I'm outta here!"  Her eyes glowed and intense green until the light
        engulfed her form and blinded Hentosai.  After the light faded,
        Hentosai blinked and rubbed his eyes... she was still there.
                "It... didn't work.", she said it more as a question than a
        statement.  Panicking, she tried again... no dice.  Hentosai smiled
        up at her.
                "The Magistrate and I had a little deal-"
                "It didn't work?!"
                "-she considers your behavior highly dangerous to the Succubi
        way of life... you are mine to hold until she can form a new case
        against you, and that could take decades!  This was all under the
        table of course, the official story is that you got lost during a-"
                Yasha conceded.  She knew the drill, in fact she had been
        assigned to handle corrupt deals like this before.  That was the
        beauty of chaos... how could you corrupt chaos?  With an infusion of
        law and order, that's how.
                "What do you want?", she sighed.
                "First, you will make me deliriously happy with that shape-
        shifting body of yours..."  Yasha suddenly became conscious of her
        appearance.  She shifted to the most grotesque, sex-less creature
        she could think of... Hentosai.
                "Like this?", she asked innocently.
                "Gak!  Young and nubile!  Not old and hideous!!!"
                "This then?"  Yasha assumed the form of a young boy.
                "I'm a connoisseur of female assets not a sick pervert!
        Girls! GIRLS!  I WANT GIRLS!!!"  Yasha changed to a group of young,
        soft, female bunnies... the fuzzy type that hop with the big ears.
                "GRRRRR-", Hentosai looked as if he was about to throw a
        hissy fit... he did.  After finishing his tantrum he resumed his
        posture and calmed his senile self.
                "Heh heh, you're very funny.  But I can wait.  I hold your
        *freedom* in my hands and I can keep you until you do my bidding.
        I don't need your body, but I do need your skills.  I have another
        task for you to do instead."  The bunnies stopped romping around
        and all stood attention, staring with their big watery, green eyes.
                "There is a house, a dojo actually, that is home to the most
        beautiful creature that I have ever seen in all my years.  There were
        other girls there... yes, four lovely specimens of lovely, young,
        female anatomy.  But the red-headed one has stolen my heart.
                At first I feared that I had killed her... my Passion Fever
        Attack was accidentally released against her... but after a long
        journey following a strange pig, I finally found myself back at the
        dojo to find her alive and well.  It was a miracle!
                Yet I could not bring myself to approach her.  My knees turn
        to jelly and my old heart beats until it threatens to burst!  A silly
        grin pastes itself on my face and my peni- .... -ahem.  Yasha, do you
        realize what this means.....  I AM IN LOVE!!!"
                Yasha felt a wave a nausea turn in her stomach at the same
        time a tickling laughter threatened to bubble out of her throat.
        Everyone knew demons couldn't fall in love!  The two simply didn't
        mix... that was what was making her sick.  The thought that this half
        demon might be in love was what she found hilarious.
                With disgust and ridicule welling up in her she decided to
        laugh first.  She bent over laughing until she fell to the ground.
        Then she rolled around, still laughing.  Yasha laughed until her
        insides hurt... then she threw up on Hentosai's feet, over and over,
        while still giggling now and then.  She wiped her mouth and recovered
        slightly as she got to her feet.
                Hentosai looked at the nasty puddle at his feet then made it
        disappear by banishing it from his mind.  He stared at her with an
        annoyed look on his face until she completely calmed down.
                "Alright, already... I'm done... what *is* it that you want?"
                "A pair of her panties."  The look on his face was so
        completely serious that Yasha had to bite her lip from exploding into
        laughter again.
                "Jeez, whatta ya need me for?  Get them yourself!"
                "As I told you before, my knees turn to jelly... I can't do
        it with any level of competency.  I am not yet ready to face my
        Beloved... but until then, a pair of her panties will be enough to
        allow me to- ahem- perform personal business."
                "Gack!  Don't mention that or I'll hurl again!"
                "You're a succubus... your business is to make men do that!"
                "*Men*!  Not *YOU*!  Yuck!  The mental image itself is enough
        to kill me!"
                "Grrrr- Joke all you want... you're not leaving until I get a
        pair of Ranma's panties!!!"
                "Calm down you dirty old mutt!  Okay, I'll do it.  Just tell
        me what to do and where to do it."
                "I thought you might see it my way..."
                                        -=-=-
                Yasha felt the repellent force as she approached the Dojo.
        <What the Hell is this?!  The mutt didn't tell me about any demon
        wards about the place...>  As she got closer the force became strong
        then suddenly disappeared.  Yasha looked about nervously then after
        nothing happened she shrugged and continued with her "mission."  <No
        use waiting around...>
                Yasha assumed the form of Ranma-chan in the same blue sailor
        outfit that Hentosai had pictured for her before.  This whole venture
        was entirely too shaky.  Hentosai had barely provided her with any
        information.  If anyone in the dojo asked her a question, she'd be
        discovered right away.
                She walked into the gate and cursed when she saw two middle-
        aged men blocking the doorway with a game of Shogi.  They looked so
        intent on their game, Yasha figured that she could slip by...
        suddenly both men looked up from their game and stared at her.
                <*Shit!*>
                "Um... hello Uncle!"  That was safe enough, in Japan, nearly
        everyone was referred to as your uncle.  The man with the mustache
        grinned and returned the greeting.
                "Hello Ranma!"
                <So far so good...> She looked to the bald one who was
        frowning at her.  <Am I caught already?>
                "What's this Boy?  You don't even greet your own Father?!?"
                "Uh, oh!  Sorry... Hi Father.  Um, bye!"  Yasha quickly
        slipped past them and around the corner.  She wiped her brow.
                <Whew!  Close one... did he call me "Boy?"  Ah, nevermind,
        he's probably got mental problems.>
                                        -=-=-
                "A-HAH!!!!  I'VE GOT YOU TENDO!!!!", declared Genma as he
        slammed down his Shogi piece.  Soun assumed several thought postures
        as he looked at his situation.
                "Not quite yet, Saotome... I can still- ah no that won't work
        ...a-hah!  I can- nope...  There's still a chance of- oh nevermind
        that doesn't work either.", Soun shrugged and looked up from the
        board, "Looks like you win Saotome."
                Soun looked at Genma whose teeth were clenched and face was
        twitching.
                "Saotome!  Did you hear me?  You've won!"  Soun grabbed Genma
        and shook him to try to get him to respond.  Genma turned to him and
        croaked out.
                "M-my S-s-son... he w-w-was wearing a d-dress... wasn't he?"
                "Um, why yes.  A nice navy blue one, I think.  Although the
        skirt was a little too short....  It's almost scandalous, the way
        our children are exposed these days.  Those kind of uniforms really
        ought to be outlawed- ... - D-D-D-DRESS?!?!?"
                "**RAANNNNNMMMAAAAAAA!!!!!!!**"
                                        -=-=-
                Yasha plopped down on her knees in frustration.
                <So many panties!  How am I to pick the right ones?!?>  She
        had successfully stumbled upon the laundry room and was rummaging
        through all the small pastel colored unmentionables.  <At least there
        are less in here than in Happousai's room!>  Earlier she had been
        baffled by the sheer numbers of panties all with in the little
        pervert's room.  At least in here the panties belonged to only the
        girls of this house.
                <Maybe I can try to take them all and sort them out later?>
                Yasha began stuffing the panties in her pockets.  When she
        ran out of those she sticking a few along her waist-band.  Once out
        of room there she began stuffing down her blouse.  That began to fill
        up so she unbuttoned her top a bit for more room.
                Suddenly, the door was kicked open.
                Yasha, startled, hurried to gather all the panties and hide
        them.
                "RANMA!!!", the two fathers yelled as they kicked the door.
                Genma and Soun were greeted to the sight of a Ranma-chan
        clone bent over on the laundry floor with a pile of panties in her
        arms.  With her blouse undone and her bent over position, they were
        greeted with an eyeful of cleavage... with panties stuffed between
        it.  Yasha looked up innocently and said sweetly, "Oh... hello
        Father... hello Uncle."
                The two men screamed and bolted out of the laundry room and
        slammed its door shut.
                                        -=-=-
                Soun knelt outside the laundry door, weeping.
                "Saotome... *<SOB>* Tell me I didn't see that!"  Genma
        clenched his fist and ground his teeth.
                "I wish I could Tendo.  The Boy's too weak I tell you!  The
        Curse has finally gotten the better of him!  He's lost his sanity!
        We've got to do something to save him... to restore his manhood!"
                "Perhaps he's doing it to get my daughters' panties?  You
        know, all boys his age are a little hentai... it would be better for
        him to be a little hentai than a twisted cross-dresser!  I won't have
        my dear Akane marrying some sicko!!!!"
                "We will check then, Tendo!"
                                        -=-=-
                <Oh crap... I must've done something to give myself away...
        better hurry it up.  Dammit!  There's no way I can take all of these
        with out someone noticing... I'm going to have to pick a pair!>  She
        made her own panties disappear then picked up a small, light blue
        pair at random and stepped into them.  Yasha pulled them up to find
        the crotch-piece fit perfectly but the sides were a bit loose.  She
        pulled up on the sides to compensate.
                Again, the door was kicked open.
                Again, Yasha, was startled, causing her to jerk her arms up-
        -taking the panties with them.
                "RANMA!!!", the two fathers yelled as they kicked the door.
                This time Genma and Soun were greeted to the sight of Yasha
        with her back to them.  Her skirt was hiked up at her waist and she
        was pulling up on the blue panties, which were burying themselves
        in her buttocks.  Genma urked and Soun choked.  Yasha let go of the
        panties, smoothed her skirt down, and turned her head around to look
        innocently at the intruders and said sweetly, "Oh... hello Father...
        hello Uncle."
                The two men screamed and bolted out of the laundry room and
        slammed its door shut.
                                        -=-=-
                "TENDO WHAT WILL I DO!?!  WHAT WILL I DO!?!  WHAT WILL I-"
                "Saotome!!!  For starters you can stop slamming my head
        against the wall!!!  Secondly... I feel that this evidence is still
        only circumstantial.  I think we must- ahem- enter a final time to
        get a another look.", Soun said as he adjusted his pants.
                "What?!?  This time he could be *naked*!!!"
                "Exactly- I mean, um, of course not!  I find it hard to
        accept that my son-in-law-to-be is having doubts about his sexuality
        Trust me, I have three children of my own to-"
                "Fine then!  I'll give him one more chance before I ship him
        off to China!!!"
                                        -=-=-
                <Damn.  Damn.  Damn.  Damn.>  Yasha realized whatever chance
        she had at not getting caught had evaporated.  <It'll take a miracle
        for me to leave with these panties and not be recognized as a fraud!>
                For the final time, the door was kicked open.
                This time Yasha wasn't really startled as she saw the pattern
        emerge.
                "RANMA!!!", the two fathers yelled as they kicked the door.
                This time Genma and Soun were greeted to the sight of....
        Nothing.  Yasha looked at the two blindfolded men with puzzlement,
        but she didn't sit and ponder.  She quickly gathered two fistfuls of
        panties and crawled between their legs.<Yes!  Curse the Demon Below,
        I'm outta here!!!>
                "Now Ranma, my boy.  I realize you must be going through
        something horrible right now- I went through a similar phase with my
        Panda curse- but we can all get through this if we just communicate
        a little better, right?  Ah, hello?"  The two men groped blindly
        forward, crouching downward slowly until they were crawling forward.
                "Just what the Hell do you think you're doing Old Man?!?",
        yelled an annoyed and distinctly male Ranma behind them.  Genma and
        Soun immediately shed their blindfolds and spun around to see Ranma
        and the three Tendo girls looking at them sitting in a pile of girls
        underwear.
                "Oh my!", cried Kasumi in her usual fashion.
                "Father!", gasped Akane.
                "Daddy, dearest... care to explain yourself?  Just what would
        Mother say about you rummaging through our underclothes?", said
        Nabiki in her deadpan, yet amused, voice.  A little man leapt up and
        added himself to the laundry room's doorframe.
                "That's my boys!  I knew all that training had to pay off one
        day!  Tsk tsk tsk... but Soun... your own girls!!!", admonished the 
        little old pervert, Happousai.  Red-faced, they tried to explain.
                "B-b-but..."
                "Ranma- you were just-"
                The two fathers gave up and fainted.
                                        -=-=-
                "NO NO NO NO *NO*!!!!"
                "But how can you tell!?!"
                "I don't owe you and explanation, witch!  None of these are
        hers, you useless bimbo!"
                "If you tell me how *YOU* know maybe *I* can tell which ones
        are hers on the next run!"
                "NO!  It is not for you to know!"
                "Will ya stop yelling already?!?"
                "I'M NOT YELLING!!!!"
                "Baka...", Yasha muttered.  At this rate she'd be under the
        service of this senile old fool for the next millennia!  If only she
        could figure out a way to break free of his grip....
                "-return tomorrow and try again.  You understand?!"
                "Hmm?  Oh yes, affirmative, O Great Wrinkled and Impotent
        One!"  She had barely heard a word he had said but she thought she
        had the general gist of what he was saying.  Go in, confirm the
        target's room, grab the panties, and get out.  Sounded simple enough,
        but then again, so did the first plan.
                                        -=-=-
                "I can't believe you *STILL* won't eat my cooking!!!"
                "If you want to kill me, why do you just say so!?!"
                "ARRRGH!  I can't believe you, Ranma!  You're so pig-headed!"
                "Ranma... Akane... could you keep it down?  The two of you
        are giving me a head-ache."
                "Stay out of this, Nabiki!  Akane!  Whose being more stupid?
        Me, for wanting to live another day, or you, for not giving up this
        thing you obviously can't, and never will, do!"
                "Oooo!!!  That does it!!!  Ranma, you *owed* me at least
        this!  Don't think I've forgotten what happened two nights ago.  I-"
                "O!  What happened two nights ago, Sis, hmmm?"
                "SHUT UP, NABIKI!!"
                Yasha watched the angry exchange from a distance.  She could
        not hear what they were saying, but she could sense it was an old
        argument from the tired look on Nabiki's face.  They would all be
        distracted.  This was the perfect time to slip in as these humans
        entered the dojo after their schooling.
                She assumed the form of a school girl.  Yasha picked a young
        face but a tall, thin body so that she could be accepted as the peer
        of any of the three entering the dojo.  Her eyes flashed green and
        she was teleported right behind Nabiki who didn't notice her one bit.
                As they entered they were greeted with broad smiles and warm
        welcomes by Soun and Genma as the two looked up from their Shogi
        match.
                "Welcome home, my reasons for living!"
                "Give a hug to your old father!"
                They "urked" as the arguing couple passed them and Nabiki
        followed suit by ignoring them completely, shaking her head and
        rubbing her temple as she walked by.  This left Yasha in front of
        Genma and Soun, all alone... no problem, she knew these jokers.
                "Grrrr... no respect, absolutely no respect...- Hm?  Who's
        this?  Hello, you are...?"
                "Hello, Sirs, I'm Yasha Tenma!", she said cheerfully, "I'm
        here to... er- to-...."
                "Yasha, eh?  What kind of parents name their child 'Demoness'
        ... is it a joke?"
                "Ha ha, yes- um, my parents expected Hell with a little devil
        of a bundle but instead got me, a little Angel!"  Yasha made sure her
        eyes gave off an extra green sparkle.
                "Hmm... I see, nothing like my, Nabiki, HO HO HO!"
                "Yes, how fitting that we are lab partners at school... I'm
        here to work on a project with her-"
                "And she left you here all by yourself to entertain two old
        men?  For shame!  You see, Soatome, what has become of our children
        these days?  Here, I'll call her!  NABI-"  Yasha cut off his shout.
                "Oh, no need to call her back here!", she tittered and waved
        her hand in a little dismissive gesture, "Just point the way and I'll
        go off."
                "Okay, very good then..."  Soun proceeded to tell Yasha where
        Nabiki's room was.
                "What a nice girl, eh Tendo?"
                "Yes indeed... 'Demoness', Hah!  Imagine if!"
                                        -=-=-
                Yasha moved down the hall until she bumped into Kasumi, who
        was carrying a basket of laundry.
                "Oh my... who are you?", asked the proper hostess.
                "Uh, Yasha Tenma, Ranma's lab partner... can you direct me to
        her room, please?  She left me somewhat lost.", Yasha smiled.
                "Oh that's good, with such a mature girl like you, you're
        certainly be able to help Ranma get a good grade.  It was Ranma,
        wasn't?", Kasumi beamed back.
                "Yes, Miss.", Yasha smiled so widely her eyes shut.
                "Oh alright then...", Kasumi pointed down the hall and around
        the corner, "Nice meeting you!"
                "You too!", Yasha's face hurt from all the smiling.  She
        decided that Kasumi was right and assumed a younger and cuter form
        in order to seem like she would fit into Ranma's grade.
                                        -=-=-
                "I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU!!! *<SLAM!!>*", screamed Akane
        as she slammed her door shut.
                "FINE!!! *<SLAM!!>*", yelled Ranma as he did the same.  Akane
        opened her door back up to respond.
                "FINE!!! *<SLAM!!>*"
                "GO TO HELL!!! *<SLAM!!>*"
                "GO TO HELL, YOUSELF!!! *<SLAM!!>*"
                "SHUT UP YOU STUPID GIRL!!! *<SLAM!!>*"
                "RANMA NO BAKA!!!!!"  Akane was just about to slam her door
        shut for the last time when she stopped at the sight of a cute girl
        about her age.
                "Oh, I'm sorry, who are you?", said Akane slightly out of
        breath from all her screaming.
                "My name's Yasha Tenma, I'm here to help Ranma on a science
        project... we're lab partners.", Yasha said, gushing cuteness.
                <Boy, this girl's cute...>, thought Akane.
                "You can't be Ranma's lab partner, *I'm* Ranma's lab partner!
        Com'on what do you want?", said Akane somewhat aggressively.  Yasha
        knew she had screwed up... she had to think of something fast-
                "I'm sorry for lying- strict parents and all that- mmmm, the
        truth is, Ranma and I set up a little slumber party.  So if you could
        direct me to-"
                "WHAT!!?!!?!!?!!"  Yasha jumped back slightly at her response
        and took it the wrong way.
                "Oh, oh!  I'm sorry!  Ranma didn't invite you?!  I'm sure it
        was an oversight!  You can come!  Let's invite a whole bunch of
        girls!  I already have two or three friends coming!  Oh, please don't
        be mad....  We can all sleep together!!!", Yasha said quickly.
                "***W*H*A*T***!!!?!!!?!!!", seethed Akane as she glowed a  
        vengeful azure.  Yasha stepped back a bit a cursed, <Oh damn... now
        I've *really* fucked up this time!>  As Akane stormed off, Yasha
        decided to back off and assume a pitiful, puppy-faced look to defend
        herself from any possible attacks.  Akane wasn't gone long.
                                        -=-=-
                "Baka... stupid Akane.", muttered Ranma unhappily.  He didn't
        have time to reflect on his sorrows as Akane kicked in his door
        bearing a pail of cold water.
                "What the-?!  Haven't you heard of privacy- *<SPLASH>*",
        Ranma-chan sputtered, "Hey you!  I- *<BASH!!!!>*"  Were Ranma-chan's
        last words before Akane malleted her into oblivion.
                "Pig.", huffed Akane.
                                        -=-=-
                From her position in the hallway, Yasha had missed Ranma's
        change into Ranma-chan.  But she still had heard the awful crunching
        sound and winced when she heard the mallet fall repeatedly.  Akane
        passed by her calmly as if she was invisible and slammed the door to
        her room.  Yasha stood there a bit not sure whether to proceed or not
        then quickly slid into Ranma's room and locked the door.
                Inside it was a fairly small and simple room.  On the bed lay
        a pained and unconscious Ranma-chan, facedown.  <Well no better place
        to get panties than fresh off the source!>  Yasha pulled at Ranma's
        waistband but it didn't come off easily so she flipped Ranma-chan
        over.  With her middle and ring fingers clenched into her palms and
        a dazed and contorted face, Ranma-chan was definitely not the image
        of beauty that Hentosai had painted for Yasha... still, even now she
        was cute.
                The next thing that Yasha noticed was that the drenched white
        cotton top that Ranma-chan was wearing not only did a poor job of
        containing the red-head's bust, but what it did cover could be seen
        through the damp material.  This all accentuated the fact that the
        cute girl was bra-less.  Yasha was sorely tempted to play a bit but
        shook her head and returned to her mission.  She undid Ranma's draw-
        string then pulled down her pants to reveal a pair of lovely, pink-
        ... <*BOXERS*!?!  What the Hell is *this*!?!>
                This *proved* that she was destined to suffer!  Of all the
        girls for Hentosai to become infatuated with, he had to pick the only
        one that didn't wear a bra or panties... but *BOXERS*!!! ...and they
        were tacky yellow and blue ones at that!!  She could imagine the
        reaction if she tried to bring Hentosai back a pair of these!  Yasha
        made a quick and panicked search of the room for any signs of women's
        underwear only to find more boxers and more men's clothing.  <Oh just
        great!  A cross-dresser!  *<sigh>*  I guess that's what her Old Man
        meant by 'Boy'... she's a complete Tomboy!  Not even a pair of girl's
        gym shorts that I could've passed as panties!>
                Yasha decided to re-think her position and go with the boxers
        -after all Hentosai had his special way of determining if they were
        Ranma's or not, and these were.  She supposed that it would be better
        than nothing.  She took Ranma-chan's pants off and then began to pull
        Ranma-chan's boxers down.  Yasha had been unconsciously holding her
        breath which she let out in a small gasp as Ranma-chan's smooth mound
        was exposed.  Her hairless slit was pink and moist.  Ranma's entire
        body was still slightly damp but the moisture had begun to condense
        into small droplets all over her.  <Oh, what the Hell!>
                Yasha crouched down and buried her noise into Ranma-chan's
        sex inhaling her fragrance.  She slid both hands up Ranma's waist and
        under her wet T-shirt, to fondle the globes of soft flesh.  Ranma let
        out a moan and began to dampen further.  As much as she wished to
        continue, Yasha checked her internal time and knew she had to go soon
        so she gave Ranma-chan's a long affectionate lick along her slit and
        got up.  She pocketed the yellow boxer shorts, flashed her eyes green
        then teleported back to Hentosai.  Ranma moaned and shifted, her legs
        sliding back and forth at Yasha's departure.  Ranma-chan's hand
        snaked between her legs and continued.... 
                                        -=-=-
                "So, Yasha, did you succeed in your mission?"
                "You *could* say that..."
                "HM?  What do you mean?!", growled an impatient Hentosai.
        Yasha crossed her fingers and held out the crumpled piece of cloth in
        her palm.
                "Oh boy!"  Hentosai leaped for joy as he grabbed it and
        rubbed it lovingly, snuggling his face against it.  "Oh my dear sweet
        Yasha, thank you so very much!  These are certainly hers!  These are
        the most perfect specimen of... -eh?"  Hentosai smoothed out the his
        treasure to reveal them to be a pair of boxers.
                "AHHHHHHH!!!!  WHAT KIND OF JOKE IS THIS?!?", he screamed at
        the top of his croaking and cracking voice.
                "It's not a joke.  I simply couldn't-"
                "GAAHH!!!  THIS ISN'T RIGHT!!!!"
                "Please, listen to me!  I-"  But Hentosai ignored her, he
        grasped the boxers between his fists and meditated only to come out
        of his trance even more agitated.
                "THEY *ARE* HERS!!!!  B-B-BUT-"
                "WILL YOU SHUT-UP ALREADY, YOU OLD FART!!?!?!!"  Hentosai's
        eyes watered as he came to the edge of sobbing.  He clutched the
        boxers tightly as he looked up at the obviously pissed demoness.
                "Good... I did everything as you said: infiltrating the dojo
        and making it into the target's room.  I searched every crevice of
        her room and found no signs of any panties... only a lot of men's
        clothing.  I suspect that she's a cross-dress-"
                "NO DON'T SAY IT!!!! DON'T YOU *DARE* SAY IT!!!!"
                "Ah, well, ahem- yeah, whatever... anyway, I thought it wise
        to get whatever I could so I took these boxers directly off the
        target and brought them to you.  I've brought you her under-clothes,
        may I go now?"
                "No!  I demand a pair of panties!  This won't do!  You will
        return one more time, this time via dream, and find out what this-
        this- well *THIS*", he pointed angrily at the boxers, "is all about!"
                "Whatever....", sighed Yasha.
                                        -=-=-
                Yasha descended into Ranma's mind with out a hitch.  She was
        about to begin weaving when she realized that Ranma already had a
        dream in progress.  <Okay, fine, what better way to find out about
        Ranma than to research and observe her own mind?>  Yasha walked
        through several veils of mist until she found the source of the
        strange sounds she had been hearing.
                *<grum, grum, grum>*
                *<crunch, crunch, crunch>*
                *<glug, glug, glug>*
                *<munch, munch, munch>*
                At center of the commotion sat a raven-haired boy with the
        same hair-style, pig-tail and all, as Ranma.  He was inhaling vast
        amounts of dream food, stuffing his face with everything with in
        reach.  In the short intervals between handfuls of grub he would be
        grinning broadly with obvious happiness.  <Who is *this*? ....Oh!  I
        remember, this is the one that was arguing with the Akane girl.  Is
        he Ranma's brother?  Why would she dream about him scarfing food like
        a pig?>  As if to answer, a eight foot tall Akane appeared in front
        of the boy and spoke in a booming voice.
                "Pig!"
                "Wha- me?  No!-", he said, mouth still full.
                "You eat *this* and not *MY* food?!?"  A plate of writhing
        organic stuff appeared in her hands.  "Eat it, you pig!!", she boomed
        as she stuffed it down his throat.  Yasha could see that this dream
        was quickly moving into nightmare land....
                "NOOO!!!"
                "PIG!", she mercilessly answered.  Akane began to grow in
        size.  The boy freaked and fell backwards.
                "Please, I'm not-"
                "PIG!!!", she insisted as she continued to grow.
                "Akane, forgive me!  I-"
                "*PIG*!!!"
                *<BWEEEE!!!!>*, squealed a little black pig with a yellow
        bandanna as the boy screamed madly.  Then... silence.
                <Ooookay!  Now I know why Ranma cross-dresses... She utterly
        insane!!!  A loony!  A wacko!  This lunatic's not fit to walk the
        street with the sane!!! ... I *like* her!>, thought Yasha as she
        decided to stick around.  The silence and darkness slowly gave way to
        a new scene.  A landscape of irregularly steep mountains, gray mists,
        and a thousand little springs (with bamboo poles sticking out?!?)
        unfolded before her eyes.
                <I *know* this place!  Dammit, what's it called?!  I can't
        remember!  I knew I should have paid more attention in history!!!
        All I can remember is that these are an example of pre-reformist-
        constructionist-transendential-abstract-concret-curses... it's the
        classic example of the artful combination of chaos and order... now
        if I could just remember what it did!!!>  She tore at her hair and
        smacked her head in frustration trying to get the answer off the tip
        of her brain.  Yasha calmed down and opted to pay attention as the
        raven-haired boy appeared again.
                He was wearing a gi with a pack strapped to his back while
        standing on one of the many cliffs overlooking the springs.  He moved
        to the edge and looked down.  Suddenly the cliff gave way and he
        tumbled down the mountain side, being bounced and bruised until he
        reached the bottom his body landing next to one of the springs.
                The boy shook his head and dusted himself off before getting
        up and looking around.  Just then, the water of the nearest spring
        began to bubble and boil.  The boy backed up a bit in fear then
        totally freaked as a giant wet panda emerged and lunged at him.  It
        grabbed him before he could react and threw him into another spring.
                All while this strange opera played itself out infront of
        Yasha she continued to empathically sense Ranma's feeling of destiny
        and impending doom.  Out emerged the red-haired Ranma that Yasha
        knew, but before she could even take one step, a kettle of boiling
        hot water was poured upon her head.
                Ranma screamed and transformed into the black-haired boy.  A
        bucket of cold water was splashed in his face.  He yelped at the
        instant chill then reverted back to Ranma-chan.  This happened over
        and over until Yasha decided to put a stop to it.  She over-rode
        Ranma's dream and summoned out Ranma... but instead she came up with
        the boy.  Finally, Yasha put two and two together.
                "Ranma?  Is that you?"
                "What, who are you?!  Where are you?"  Oops.  Yasha realized
        that she had forgotten to assume a visible form, she took her "true"
        form at which Ranma gawked at for several seconds.  Oops, again.  She
        made modest by materializing some clothes.
                "W-what are you?"
                "I'm a succubus... are you Ranma or not?", she asked
        impatiently.
                "Y-y-yes, who else would I be?"
                "Who is this, then?"  Yasha pointed to a image of Ranma-chan
        she created.
                "That's me.  Actually that's my cursed self-"
                "Jusenkyo!!!  That's it!  I remember!  When doused with cold
        water the cursed one transforms into the being that drowned in the
        spring in which he or she fell!  It all makes sense now!  So you
        are really a boy!!"
                "OF COURSE I'M A BOY!!!"  <Seesh that touched a nerve!>
                "Okay, okay, so you're a boy... that's not going to make my
        job any easier.", mumbled Yasha.
                "What job is that?"
                "Err, I've got to get a pair of your panties."
                "I don't wear panties!!!!"
                "That's my problem, see?", said Yasha smiling.  She began to
        find the situation amusing.  She could have some fun....
                "Why the Hell do you want something I don't have?!?"
                "Hmm, we'll talk about this later...  Do you want to fuck?"
                "WHAT?!?!"
                "Well, I am, after all, a succubus.  And sex is what is
        usually expected of my race from human males... that's not all we can
        do but it has become somewhat of a tradition.  Besides, I don't mind
        at all.  Come on now, don't be shy!"  Yasha smiled seductively and
        Ranma reflexively backed away.
                "D-don't come any closer.  I love- I've got a fiancee.  Hey
        you!-", Yasha already had her arms draped about his shoulders, "STOP!
        Demoness!  I can't handle *ANOTHER* ONE!!!"  Ranma pushed her back
        and congratulated himself for being able to resist temptation.  Only,
        he forgot that Yasha could more or less read his mind.  And she was
        slightly miffed at being rejected... something that had never ever
        happened to her before.
                "Ha!  You only held out because I'm going easy on you!  Take
        *this*!"  Yasha's eyes shone green again as she tapped Ranma's 
        hormones and opened the floodgates of his desire.  Ranma's heart
        skipped a beat then went double-time.  Before him was the most
        perfect specimen of female anatomy.  The physical attraction he had
        toward her at that moment was the strongest anyone could have.
                Yasha brushed some curls behind her ears and smiled slightly
        at Ranma.  He melted and nearly fainted.  Ranma knew that if she held
        his hand he'd collapse and if she hugged him he have a heart attack.
        She did one better.
                Yasha locked her lips onto Ranma's and held them there with
        enthusiasm [Adjusting her height to accommodate him].  <I've got him
        now!>, thought Yasha.  But she was wrong.  This wasn't the first time
        Ranma had be neuro-chemically pushed into passion, in fact it was
        probably his fourth or fifth time, and each time he gained more
        tolerance and resistance.  <This is *MY* dream!>
                Ranma broke her hold and held her back by holding her wrists.
        At first Yasha was stunned by this resistance but she smirked and
        countered.  She fell back and changed the scene into a bedroom.  This
        left Ranma holding her down by her wrists on a bed.  Yasha followed
        up by wisking away her dress and replacing it with skimpy lingerie.
                Ranma's eyes went wide... he had used up too much strength on
        that last effort.  <Oh why don't I do it... it's just a dream after
        all!  It'll be good for me.  Help me be more faithful to Akane in the
        real world if I release some tension here- WHA?!  GET OUTTA MY HEAD
        YOU DEMONESS!!!>
                "Come now, Ranma, why do you have to be so difficult?"
                "I ain't being nothing!  Just leave me alone!!"
                "Fine then..."  She quickly slid her arms out so that Ranma
        fell down on her.  He frantically lifted his face to get it out from
        in between her breasts and looked up until their faces were nearly
        touching.  "But before I go... one kiss."
                Ranma wasn't an idiot.  He knew that one kiss led to two then
        to three then to all other sorts of wonderful things. But he couldn't
        hold out any longer, and besides, she didn't seem to be the bad sort
        of succubus... perhaps she'd keep her word and leave it at one kiss.
                "All right... but only one."
                Yasha nodded and closed her eyes.  Ranma examined the face
        before him.  She was gorgeous.  Mature and beautiful... yet natural
        so that one didn't feel like they were looking at a super-model.  Her
        raven-black hair was shrewn about the pillow and shone slightly.  He
        moved to deliver the kiss...
                Ranma immediately thanked Heaven he wasn't so stubborn as to
        accept her kiss.  The intensity was so high, Ranma knew he was going
        to commit a lecherous act.  Could it be?  That being depraved of sex
        for so long caused him to be so intensely turned on by a mere kiss?
        The idea bothered him enough to get him to stop.
                He pulled back almost reluctantly and opened his eyes.
                <WHAT?!?>
                Before him was his cursed, red-headed, girl-type persona
        smiling up at him with contentment and cute green eyes.  Then she
        said in Ranma-chan's voice, "I'll be seeing you soon... forget all
        this-", she said as she kissed him on the forehead, "but don't forget
        me."  She kissed Ranma on the lips lightly, sending a chill down his
        spine... it was so eerie, like being kissed by a mirror.  A flash of
        green and it was all over.
                In the morning, he wouldn't remember a thing about the dream
        but he would recall a cousin.  A certain cousin... Ranko.
                                        -=-=-
                "...and her scan shows that she burned them all."
                "B-B-BURNED?!  *ALL* of them?!?"
                "I'm truly sorry..."  The smile on her face show that she
        was obviously not.  Yasha was really enjoying herself as she watched
        Hentosai swallow her bull.
                "But *why*?!?  What would drive her to-"
                "The scan said she did it after that time you visited.  She
        may have survived your Passion Attack, but it looks like her mind has
        suffered some as a result."  Yasha paused to take in Hentosai's look
        of grief when she told him he was the cause.  "There is an up side to
        all this... I've found that this cross-dressing is a defensive
        mechanism.  Inside, she's still a feminine flower begging to bloom
        and slip on a pair of panties-"  Hentosai was crying now, out of the
        pure joy of hope.
                "She'll need someone, of course, to guide her back onto the
        path.  Ranma is having trouble with her sexuality."
                "Won't she recover on her own?"
                "I'm afraid not... guess this means I'll have to join their
        household as a guest and get her to don a pair!"
                "Oh!  Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou-"
                "Let go of me you toad!!!", shouted Yasha as Hentosai grabbed
        her chest and buried his face into it.  Yasha turned herself into a
        cactus forcing Hentosai to let go.
                "There, that's better... just remember our deal Old Fart: I
        deliver her panties... and you give me back my freedom."
                "But of course-"
                "Then I'll be going now.  Don't want to spend another second
        in your twisted mind if I can help it.  Bye."  Yasha transformed back
        and set her eye aglow, teleporting her out.  Hentosai waited until
        she left to get up, dust himself off, and wipe away his crocodile
        tears.
                The Bitch had not told him... just as he expected.
        Everything was continuing to go according to plan.  But then... why
        wouldn't it?
                                        -=-=-
                Everything was more or less as it should be at the Tendo
        Training Hall.  Genma, Soun, and the three Tendo sisters were all
        happily eating their weekend breakfast together.  They were all
        munching along happily when everyone stopped, everyone except Genma.
                "What?  What is it?  Tendo, is something the matter?"
                "Hello everyone!", said a red-head cheerfully, "The doorbell
        wasn't working and the door wasn't locked so I let myself in... I
        hope you don't mind."  Genma spun around to see his son (daughter?)
        dressed in a pink frilly hoop dress, white gloves, parasol, and all.
                "AURRGH!!!  What are you doing, my Boy!!!  Are you trying to
        kill you Father with *SHAME*!!!"  He stood up in fury.  "What is the
        matter?!  What is *THIS*!!!?"  Genma pointed at her apparel.
                "Actually, Ranma, you look rather cute.", Nabiki added help-
        fully.  Genma glared at her.
                "MY GOD!!!  YOU'RE EVEN WEARING... *PANTIES*!!!!", shouted
        Genma as he peeked under her skirt.  She blushed violently and pushed
        her skirt down, eyes downcast.
                "Please, Uncle Genma!", she said in a small voice.
                "RANMA!!!  IF I WEREN'T YOUR FATHER I'D-"
                "What the Hell's the matter with you, Pops?!?  Can't a guy
        sleep in late without you rais'n HELL?!?"
                Everyone stopped and looked from Ranma, boy-type, to Ranma,
        girl-type, back and forth... then most gave up and face-faulted.
        Ranma looked at her a second and could have sworn she had smiled a
        queer little smile at him before returning to her shy, embarrassed
        look- somehow it clicked and he remembered her.
                "Hey Ranko!"
                "Cousin Ranma!"  She ran forward and hugged him quickly.
                "*Cousin*?!?", everyone, including Genma, said.
                "She's my cousin Ranko Saotome."
                "You mean you there really is a Ranko?!", Akane asked in
        astonishment.
                "Yeah, that's why I picked the name."
                "She looks just like-", Kasumi started.
                "I don't remember a cousin Ranko."  Genma scratched his bald
        head.
                "Uncle, Father sends his best... I have a letter from him."
                "But I don't have a brother...", said Genma puzzled.
                *<BASH!!!>*  Ranma hit Genma over the head.
                "You sold *me* for a lousy *fish*!!!  And MORE THAN ONCE!!!
        You've given me away to *THREE*, probably more, different girls!!  I 
        am your *SON*, for godsakes.  Family doesn't mean anything to you!
        How could you possibly remember Ranko with family values like that??"
                "Come now... you don't think I could forget a thing like my
        own brother, could you?"  The looks coming from the people around the
        room showed that they did.
                "Err- I'll read this letter... let's see..."

                "Dear Brother,
                        It has taken me many years to find you but, alas, I
                still can not join you yet.  Ever since that day you took me
                off the streets, I have been proud to call myself a Saotome.
                While we are not blood, we are still brothers for you saved
                my life.
                        When you returned all those years later, I had gotten
                married and you met my daughter Ranko.  She still remembers
                Ranma very fondly.  So much has happened... so much time has
                passed.  Ami is now dead, she fell ill five years ago.  Now,
                because of circumstances I cannot discuss, it is not safe for
                Ranko to be with me.
                        So I entrust my greatest treasure in the world under
                your care and protection, Brother Genma.  Please guide her
                and teach her.  Continue her schooling and training... until
                I can, one day, return for her.  Please pray for me.
                                                        Your Brother,
                                                        Kenji Saotome."

                "Ah see!  I told you I didn't have a brother!"  Genma looked
        around the room only to receive cold stares.  "But he isn't!  See,
        he even said it himself, 'we are not blood'!"
                "You don't remember any of this, do you, Pops?"
                "Of course I do!", Genma said defensively, "Such a turning
        point in another's life would never be forgotten by me!  Senji-"
                "Kenji."
                "Right.  Kenji, was like the little brother I never had!  I
        taught him all I knew!"
                "Must've taken all of eight minutes...", Ranma mumbled.
                "And I remember tracking him down so that we could visit him
        down, South-"
                "North, Uncle Genma.", Ranko added politely.
                "Er, North!  To your little cottage-"
                "Um, mansion... Uncle Genma."
                "Yeah, and swam in your indoor pool!"  Genma wiped his brow.
                "Almost, Pops... It was in a lake behind her home.  Right,
        Ranko?"
                "Cousin Ranma, you have an excellent memory!"
                "Hey, what did your father mean by 'training', Ranko?", Akane
        asked, "Are you into martial arts too?"
                "Only a little... Father always told me what a master Uncle
        Genma was.  So he aspired to be the same and took me along on many of
        his training trips.  I suppose I'm average."
                "Really?", said Akane somewhat over eagerly, "I dabble in it
        a bit myself.  You want to, maybe, spar a bit... so we can gage you
        and carry on your training?"
                "Um, I don't know..."
                "It's what your father wanted... com'on it'll be fun!"
                "All right... if you insist."
                                        -=-=-
                The Tendo household all gathered in the training hall to
        watch.  Akane was wearing her typical gi and trying not to smile at
        the prospect of finally proving her martial arts ability to someone.
        Ranko wore a set of Akane's gym sweats.
                "I'll start out slow, okay?"
                "Thank you.  Please be easy on me... I'm really not all that
        good."
                "I'll be gentle... okay... GO!"
                Akane started out with a few warm-up swings which Ranko all
        dodged.  <Hmm, good... she's much too humble.  I'll pick up the pace
        a bit.>  Even with the increased speed Ranko deftly dodged every blow
        with grace.  Akane started getting slightly frustrated.  She could
        feel her easy win slipping from her.  Akane really put herself into
        it.  Still, Ranko remained untouched.
                Seeing her face flash back and forth and getting increasingly
        angry and frustrated, Akane forgot herself and swung angrily at Ranko
        thinking that it was Ranma.  As trained martial artists, everyone saw
        the powerful, high-speed blow... and everyone knew it would connect.
        Soun and Genma cringed at the thought of what it would do to Ranko.
        Akane roared, everyone flinched, Ranko looked scared... but the hit
        missed.
                Where Ranko had been, now there was splintered wood.  While
        everyone had flinched... no one had blinked, and they had all saw
        Ranko teleport behind Akane.
                "If I didn't know better... not even a great martial artist-"
                "Actually, Boy, there's many reports of masters being able to
        teleport themselves from one point to another."
                "No way!  I've *GOT* to learn that technique!!!"
                Akane hadn't quite figured out what had happened.  She still
        thought she was fighting Ranma and she was still very angry at him.
        She spun with a powerful round house which could have leveled a wall.
        Ranko moved her head back and blocked with two fingers, stopping the
        kick.  She back-flipped and assumed a lotus position.
                Everyone was amazed at what they saw... nothing.  Ranko had
        turned invisible.  They heard slight footfalls then Akane was knocked
        off her feet by a powerful sweep kick.  Ranko re-appeared and caught
        her.
                "I'm *sorry*!  Did I hurt you?  I didn't mean to!  Please...
        oh, I knew this was a bad idea!"  Akane came to her senses and gave
        Ranko a half-smile.
                "I'm okay!  I'm the one who should apologize... I'm sorry for
        losing control.  Thanks for the work-out!"
                "I have *GOT* to learn that technique!!!  Ranko!  You were
        amazing!  Where did you learn that?  Is it hard?  Do you think you
        could teach me?  Man, with those moves, I bet I could beat Cologne!"
                "Ranma, please... can't you see she's tired?  Sparing after
        your trip here must be exhausting.", Kasumi scolded mildly.
                "Sorry, Ranma, she's right I am pooped... thank you- you know
        I don't even know your names!"
                "How impolite of us!  I'm Soun Tendo, and these are my lovely
        daughters, Kasumi, Nabiki, and Akane."
                "Yes, the Tendo Dojo... why are you here Uncle Genma?"
                "Because of Ranma... this is to be his one day-"
                "Oh I just thought of something... where am I to sleep?"
                "Hmm... Ranma you should go back to sleeping with your Father
        and give your room up to Ranko."
                "Please, no!  I don't want to inconvenience Cousin Ranma!"
                "Hey, it's no problem-"
                "-And, well, I'm embarrassed to say... I think I might be a
        little afraid to sleep alone, my first night here."
                "We've got an extra futon... you can bunk with me, Ranko!",
        Akane offered.
                "Really?!  I'd like that!"
                "It's settled then."  Akane smiled and laughed kindly.
                                        -=-=-
                Ranko came back from her bath wiping her hair with a towel.
        Akane looked up from her book to see Ranko wrapped in a small yellow
        towel, hair splayed out.  Akane marveled at the sheer amount of hair
        that somehow compressed itself into such a tiny pig-tail.  Akane
        thought back to the time she had seen Ranma's hair undone... it must
        have been a Saotome family hair-style secret- yet, they were not
        really family.  Not family... but they looked nearly identical.  The
        only difference she could tell of was that Ranko had green eyes.
        Even their voices were similar!   It was bizzar...
                Ranko began combing her damp hair, she sat cross-legged,
        across from Akane.  This gave Akane the chance to observe that even
        Ranko's nether regions were identical to Ranma-chan's... Akane felt
        herself getting warm.  Ranko finished and got up.  But her towel had
        gone loose while she was sitting so it fell from her body while she
        was half-way up.  She let out a little gasp and quickly covered her
        mound and breasts reflexively.  Akane stared for a second then tore
        her eyes away and read her book intently as if she had seen nothing.
        Ranko looked up and smiled to herself.
                She got changed, modestly, by pulling her panties on, under
        the towel, and then slipping on an oversized t-shirt with her back to
        Akane.  Akane blushed when she found herself slightly damp.  Ashamed,
        she pulled the covers tighter and put down her book.  At this rate
        she'd never be able to go to the public baths or locker room again!
        Akane tried to get her mind off the subject.
                "I hope you don't mind sleeping on a futon... I understand
        that you used to live in a mansion-"
                "Oh, it's okay.  Believe me, I'm used to it.  I spent much of
        my life on training missions with my Father.  The only person who
        lived in the mansion was my Mother...." Ranko paused and looked far  
        off as if she forgot what she was saying, then turned back to Akane
        and continued, "I've been wondering... where's your mother Akane?"
                "Oh.  ...  She died when I was younger."
                "I'm sorry!  I didn't mean to pry-"
                "No, it's okay.  You mother died too, so I guess you know
        what it's like...."
                "It's- it's sad...."
                "You know, even Ranma's mother is gone from him in a sense."
                "But I thought she lived near-"
                "Yes, well, but circumstances- I think it would be best for
        Ranma to explain.  Do you faint easily?", Akane asked oddly.
                "Huh?  I'm not really sure-"
                "Just don't be too shocked by anything you hear or see, OK?"
                "I'll be ready... I guess.  You and I probably have a lot in
        common... I'm so glad you offered to let me sleep in here."
                "It's no problem!  I kinda fun having you here!"
                "Yeah, like we set up a little slumber party!"
                The instant Ranko said that, Akane vaguely recollected Ranko
        saying the exact same thing, before.  It was a weird feeling that she
        quickly shook off.  Akane was about to say good night when she saw
        that Ranko was already fast asleep.  Akane smiled at the sweet girl
        that looked so innocent in her sleep.  Ranma could look just as cute
        as her but it wouldn't come across the same because of the way he
        acted... like an ass.  Hopefully Ranko would get Ranma to behave
        a little better.  As Akane coloured at her last thought before she
        drifted off to sleep: she wondered if Ranko tasted the same as Ranma.
                                        -=-=-
                Yasha waited until she was sure Akane had fell asleep before
        sneaking out of bed and across the hall to Ranma's room.  She felt a
        slight gripping in her chest... it had came right after Akane opened
        herself up about her mother- Yasha ignored it and knocked.
                Ranma couldn't sleep.  Something about Cousin Ranko just
        didn't seem right.  He had all the memories and vivid images of his
        long summer spent with Ranko and her father... but he just couldn't
        place it- it didn't fit.  Ranma couldn't figure out what year it was
        when he went there.  This was what he was contemplating when Ranko
        knocked on his door.
                "Huh?"  <Who could it be at *this* hour?>
                "It's me."
                "Oh, Ranko.  Come in, it's open."  Ranko slipped in timidly,
        and closed the door very carefully behind her.
                "I hope I'm not disturbing you..."
                "Nah, I couldn't sleep, anyway."
                "Neither could I!  So I came here to talk."
                "Sure."
                Ranma watched her as she made her way to the foot of his bed
        and sat down.  Ranma noticed that she had nice legs and that he could
        nearly see up her t-shirt from the way she was sitting.
                "Those were some pretty awesome techniques you used today."
                "That's nearly all I know-"
                "Yeah, but that's all you'd ever need to know!"
                "I guess they're useful, when used properly-"
                "You GUESS?  Man, where'd you learn techniques like that?!?"
                "From my father... I think he said he had learned it from
        your father... or at least your father inspired him to learn it.  It
        was something like that."
                "Do you think you could teach it to me?", Ranma asked over
        eagerly.  Ranko looked doubtful.  She leaned against the bedpost then
        sat straight again when she found it hard and uncomfortable.  Ranma,
        seeing this, tossed her an extra pillow.
                "I don't think so... I'm not really a good teacher.  I know
        how to do it but not explain it.  Do you know what I mean?"  Ranko
        propped up the pillow behind her leaned back.
                "Yeah, I know.", said Ranma, looking disappointed.
                "I can try though!"  Ranma immediately brightened up.
                "Well if your as bad a teacher as you are a martial artist,
        then I'm in luck!"  Ranko smiled then shivered.  She drew her knees
        up to her chest an hugged them.  Ranma swallowed.  Now he *could* see
        her panties... red was her color, it went well with her sparkling
        green eyes.
                Ranma reminded himself of his faithfulness and how disgusting
        he was being.  This brought him back to normal.
                "You cold?"
                "N-not r-r-really.", Ranko chattered.
                "You're cold."  Ranma flipped up a corner of his covers.
        "Come on, hop in."  Ranma half expected her to say something about
        them in bed together- then he realized she wasn't on the Dust.  And
        besides that, his purposes were entirely innocent, weren't they?
                "Okay."  Ranko slipped in from her side.  Ranma jumped
        slightly when her cold feet touched his arm.  He caught himself
        regretting the loss view and tried to get his mind off it.
                "So you couldn't sleep?"
                "No... I'm tired but I wanted to talk to you."
                "About what?"
                "I don't know... the past?  I just wanted to talk."
                "Okay."  Ranma began to think of how bizzar it was to see her
        opposite him.  She was cute and looked nearly identical to his girl-
        type form, yet he didn't see her like that at all.  She was Cousin
        Ranko.  Ranko wasn't a mirror of himself, she was a totally different
        person.  It was like having a twin but not thinking of that person as
        having your face but as a sister.  When he came out of his thought he
        realized that Ranko had crawled up next to him and lay cuddled in his
        arms.  Ranma knew in his head that he wasn't supposed to hold her in
        that way, especially because of Akane, yet he didn't feel any moral
        conflict doing it.  Ranko looked up at him.
                "Do you remember when we used to do this?"
                "'This'?  What do you mean?"
                "This.  Back home, we slept in my room, in separate beds, but
        when we couldn't sleep we'd tuck in together and tell each other
        stories."  Ranma remembered yet the question of time still nagged him
        in the back of his mind.
                "We were... what?  Six?  Seven?"
                "Something like that.", said Ranko quickly.
                "What was it?"
                "I don't really-"
                "When?", Ranma persisted.
                "Eight.  I think we were eight."
                "It couldn't have been!  That summer-"  Ranma drifted off as
        he gazed into Ranko's green eyes.
                "Are you sure?"  She continued to hold his gaze.
                "Huh?  Yes, I'm posi- ....No, I'm not that sure anymore..."
                "What does it matter anyway?"
                "It doesn't.  Just an idle thought."
                "You know, I always saw myself this way..."
                "Huh?"
                "In you arms.  In bed.  Us.  Together."  Alarms went off that
        Ranma knew meant that he was supposed to make loud objections right
        now... but somehow they didn't formulate.  The best he could do was
        give a surprised silence.
                "That summer... you said you'd marry me.  We said that we'd
        own a castle and have a friendly dragon in the moat.  We said that
        we'd have two kids and we'd name them Kenji and Nadoka."
                "Heh!  The fantasies of youth!  Hah.  Ha.", Ranma choked.  He
        became aware of how much heat the covers was trapping from their
        bodies and of how close she was.
                "And you were the first boy I ever kissed!", Ranko giggled.
        This was going somewhere.  This was wrong.  He should do something to
        stop it.  Ranko pulled herself on top of him, mashing her ample chest
        against his.  Ranma dearly hoped his lovely cousin wouldn't notice
        the hard object trapped below her belly.
                "Do you remember it?  Under that willow tree on the lakeside?
        We were laying on moss, laying much like this?"  Ranma remembered and
        a clear image of him and Ranko under a willow tree came to mind.  But
        they weren't eight-years-old in the memory... he looked the way he
        looked now- that wasn't right, was it?
                "I kissed you like this..."  Ranko kissed him on the forehead
        then his cheeks.  She moved to his ear and kissed that as well as the
        nape of his neck.  Eight-year-olds didn't kiss like that!  Ranko then
        kissed him lightly on the lips.   Then again, longer.   Then again,
        longer still.
                     The next trial lasted the longest.  Ranma ran his hands
        along her body and writhed against her as they kissed passionately.
        Half-way through, Ranma's brain suddenly broke through.  A vague
        memory of a demoness- no, it was a succubus, right?  It- Ranma could
        not hold onto the thought, but something else came back to him:
                <AKANE!!> Ranma pushed Ranko back roughly and gasped for air.
                "STOP!"
                "Wha- What's wrong, Ranma?"
                "Th-Th *<pant>* This."
                "Am I doing it wrong?  I'm sorry should I take off my-"
                "*NO*!!!  *<pant>*  I mean *THIS*!  *This* is wrong."
                "Why?  There's no blood between us, Ranma... we're not *real*
        cousins-"
                "No, I don't mean that."
                "I don't understand!  We care about each other.  I care about
        you deeply Ranma.  Do you care about me?"  Yasha wanted to use the
        word "love" for more effect but she couldn't bring herself to use the
        "L-word" towards another being without throwing up... or laughing.
                "Ranko, you know I care about you-"
                "Ranma... I want to be *your* first.  I want you to be *my*
        first...."  Ranma couldn't help blushing.
                "Ranko... -I don't know any other way to say it- I'm already
        engaged!"
                "Oh!  Another woman!", Ranko said surprised.
                "Actually seven, last time I counted", Ranma muttered.  "-But
        only one that counts."
                "Who?"
                "Akane's my fiancee."
                "When did this happen?"
                "I'm not really sure, our parents arranged it when we were
        young... but I hadn't met her until two years ago."
                "Arranged? .... Do you love her?"  Ranma nodded.  "I-I see...
        Ha ha... you see... I thought... I thought... I-", Ranko began to cry
        in choking sobs.  Ranma winced.  This was the kind of thing he always
        dreaded.  He let all those girls follow him because, besides feeding
        his ego, he couldn't bear to hurt them.  Hell, he even felt sorry for
        Kodachi at times.
                "Ranko?  Ranko, don't cry.  You know that I love you too...
        just not the way I love Akane.  Please.  Shhhh... I know you miss
        your father and mother... I'm here for you.  Ranko?"  He kissed the
        top of her head a few times.  Ranko stopped crying after a while and
        looked up.  Ranma held her face up and wiped her tears with his
        thumbs.  Ranko managed a smile.
                "I-I'm so embarrassed-"
                "Don't be-"
                "No, I'm sorry... I shouldn't have come here like this-"
                "Ranko.  Please.  Stop apologizing.  I understand."
                "Really?"
                "Really."
                "Then do you mind if I stay here the night?  I don't mean
        anything by it... I just-", she faltered.
                "Sure."  Ranma wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her
        reassuringly.  Ranko buried her face into Ranma's chest.  He could
        feel his chest get damper as she cried silently into it.  This time
        he let her cry.  Eventually she whimpered no more and fell asleep.
        And Ranma drifted to sleep remembering what had happened the last
        time he held a crying girl in his arms.
                                        -=-=-
                Long after Ranma fell asleep, Yasha finally brought herself
        to get up.  She felt slightly puzzled.  She had no need of sleep, yet
        had stayed in his arms because... she wanted to?  That was the point
        of being a succubus, right?  To do what you wanted to do!
                But this mission scared her a bit.  Back when she worked the
        Human Front, she would take the guise of many women... pleasing many
        different men from night to night.  She had a human form but not
        character... the love scenes dreamt up by horny men had no need for
        that trait.
                So now she was doing her best to emulate human behavior for
        what could be a very-long period of time.  Who knew what adverse
        effects that could have on her character?  Why was she doing this?
        Yasha couldn't remember her reason behind not telling Hentosai about
        Ranma's curse.  Surely if he knew that Ranma was actually a guy, he'd
        give up his perverted panty quest!
                And even now, Yasha could force a pair of panties on Ranma
        to bring back to Hentosai, ending her obligation... So why was she
        prolonging it?
                Yasha did it because she liked Ranma... and Akane.  Maybe
        because he was the first human male she had not made love to and
        because Akane was the first human female she have ever talked to.
        Her existence as Ranko was a lie, but she like it... -<What am I
        thinking?!?  This is just a game!  Something to do until either the
        conventions change or I get back my Warrior status!  This is a little
        diversion to keep me out of Hentosai's grips for a while.  Get it
        straight, Yasha!!!  You're act is getting to you!  Damn!  Now look
        at the time... I wasted the whole night!  Well, tomorrow's another
        day....>  Yasha caught herself contemplating staying with Ranma until
        morning and cursed herself.  She teleported back to Akane's room and
        pretended to sleep.
                                        -=-=-
                <It *HAD* to be a dream!>, Ranma thought as he brushed his
        teeth.  He remembered the games they used to play... but that was a
        long time ago.  Besides, Ranko was too shy to be that forward!  <It
        had to be a dream.>, Ranma repeated to himself.  Although... his tear
        stained shirt said otherwise.
                                        -=-=-
                Ranma entered the dinning room somewhat cautiously.  Everyone
        was sitting down eating breakfast, Ranko included.
                "We were wondering when you'd get down here- hurry up and eat
        or we'll be late for school."  Ranma examined Ranko, who looked
        perfectly normal (which was odd, considering last night) and saw that
        she was sitting in his spot so he took a place next to Kasumi.
                "Yeah, sorry... rough night.  I didn't get much sleep."
                "How did you sleep, Ranko?", Akane asked.  Ranma choked and
        coughed, gagging up chewed food, before he could recover and
        apologize.
                "Heh.  Excuse me.", Ranma said meekly.
                "I slept just fine, thank you!  I really felt safe, bunking
        with you, Akane."  Akane blushed at the compliment.
                "Hey, it was nothing."
                "Oh, by the way, Ranko's enrolled in your school so I expect
        you and Ranma to show her around today.", said Kasumi.
                "Hm, sure thing."  Ranma felt contrary.  He was unsure and
        uneasy... it was too real to be a dream, wasn't it?  But it was far
        easier to dismiss it as a dream gone wacko.
                "It'll be no problem."
                                        -=-=-
                Most of the walk to school was more or less uneventful.
        Ranma took his usual pace along the top of the fence and Ranko
        followed.  She walked behind him for awhile until she realized that
        Akane could (and did) see up her skirt.  Ranko blushed and jumped
        back down to gibber back and forth with Akane about school
        curriculum, teachers, students, and stories.  Ranma remained mostly
        silent, contemplating the universe.  This was fine with him... no
        mallets this way.
                Unfortunately, a little before they got to school, Ranko took
        Ranma's hand into her own rather affectionately.  Ranma grimaced...
        here come the mallets!  None came.  Akane just smiled and Ranko just
        looked cute.  But Ranma still felt uncomfortable holding Ranko's hand
        so to prove his fidelity to Akane, he took her arm into his and
        brought her closer.
                Akane looked surprised and shot him a questioning look but
        Ranma smiled nervously and Akane accepted it happily.  Ranko frowned
        slightly but simply responded by nuzzling closer, leaning her head on
        his shoulder.  Ranma swallowed.
                Typically, most guys would love to have two beautiful women
        draped on either side of himself... but Ranma knew it would bring him
        nothing but trouble.  Surprisingly, though, no one who saw them said
        anything.  Most of the students at Furinken High already assumed that
        Ranma was dating both Akane and the Red-head... and seeing them
        hanging off him was no more outrageous than any of the scandals they
        had already conjured up in their minds.
                This wasn't so bad then... he could make it through the day
        if only-
                "SAOTOME!!!!  YOU DEVIL!!!!"
                Damn.  Kuno.
                "It is bad enough that your rapacious lust penetrates the
        pure souls of the fair Akane Tendo and the passionate Pig-tailed
        Goddess... but to display this vile deed outright!!!  It besmirches
        their honor!!  Fear not, my Loves!  I will rescue you from the dark
        clutches of this evil warlock and deliver you unto my shining and
        glorious presence!  I WILL DATE WITH YOU!!!!"  Ranko clutched Ranma
        a little tighter.
                "Cousin Ranma, I don't know what he just said... but he
        really scares me!"
                "You and me, both..."
                "Saotome... *DIE*!!!!  HYAAAHHHH!!!!"  Kuno leapt forward
        with a powerful overhead swing of his bokken that would slice stone
        in two.
                "LOOK OUT!", shouted Ranma.  He grabbed Akane's and Ranko's
        waists and leapt back taking them to the top of a wall.  "Stay here."
        Ranma flipped over Kuno and assumed a defensive posture.  "Okay, Kuno
        let's get this over with."
                "You- HYAH!- wretched- KAH!- and vile- Oof!- *SEDUCER*!  Have
        at thee- OUCH!!!", Kuno kept up his verbal and physical assault as
        Ranma deftly dodged and counter attacked.
                "Look out!", Ranko cried.
                "Wha-?"  Ranma turned his head leaving himself open to Kuno's
        wrath for a split second too long.
                *<BASH!!!>*  Akane winced as Ranko turned away.  Kuno laughed
        in triumph as he surveyed the affect of his victory blow: Ranma lay
        bashed into the concert, middle and ring fingers pressed firmly to
        palms, eyes whirling & dazed, and head appropriately lumped.  Kuno
        turned and faced Ranko and Akane, bowing slightly.
                "And now my fair ones... YOU WILL DATE WITH ME!!!"  He dove
        lust-crazed at the girls sitting on the wall.
                "*NO*!!!  Don't.  You.  Dare.  Touch...", Ranma growled
        ferally as he gathered his wits and rose.  Ranma caught air and
        dropped from above onto the back of Kuno's head to intercept his
        rendezvous with Akane and Ranko.  Kuno shook with fury as he spoke
        into the pavement.
                "SAO... TO... ME....  When we fight, you jump on my head.  I
        see you, you jump on my head.  You see me, you jump on my head.  You
        flee, you jump on my head.  I give chase, you jump on my head.  I
        speak, you jump on my head.  You speak, and jump on my head.  When
        you fall, you land on my head.  On.  My.  *HEAD*!!!!", Kuno said with
        a hint of lunacy in his voice, "T-t-there are limits- I will not
        stand for anymore-  YOU WILL AFFLICT MY PATE NO MORE!!!!!"
                Kuno began to attack with a fury driven by madness and one
        too many footprints to the face... and he was winning.  In fact it
        was fair to say that Kuno was kicking the tar out of the stunned
        Ranma.  Kuno sent Ranma's broken body into the top of a nearby tree
        with an uppercut slash.
                "STOP IT!", Ranko cried.  She hopped off the wall to confront
        Kuno, avoiding Akane's attempts to hold her.
                "What's this?  My Goddess descends to felicitate her champion 
        and love!  Surely my victory is a result of her favor toward me.  Oh
        come to me, Pig-tailed One!!!", spoke Kuno as he ran towards Ranko
        with outstretched arms and strange, heart-shaped eyes.
                "EEEK!!"  Ranko screamed and teleported away just before the
        madman was able to embrace her.  This was followed by several more
        failed attempts to hold her in his arms.  "Why- *<Zing!>*- don't
         *<Zing!>*- you *<Zing!>*- just *<Zing!>*- back *<Zing!>*- off!!!",
         Ranko protested between teleports.  Finally she saw no other means
         but to punch him right in the face.  Kuno, took it well.
                "Ah, my Love... your touch of affection does my heart a turn
         of joy!  It flutters still at the warmth felt by your slightest-"
                "TIIIIMMMMMBBBBERRRRR!!!!!"
                *<CRRRASSSHHH!!!>*
                <Pain.>, thought Kuno, as a tree, cut by one swift kick from
         Ranma, fell directly on top of him.
                "Just one of the many joys of attending Furinken High School,
         Ranko, is listening to the delightful, poetic spasms of the Senior
         Kuno Tatewaki as he attempts to behead you... or be-wed you."
                "SATOME!!!"
                "YAHH!!!"
                "EEEK!!!"
                "AHHH!!!", Ranma, Ranko, and Akane shouted as Kuno rose like
         some unstoppable freak from the fallen foliage.  All three
         reflexively unleashed an uppercut to Upperclassman Kuno's lower jaw,
         sending him into orbit... again.
                Ranma wiped his brow and let out a sigh of relief.  He looked
         himself over- twigs in hair, acorns in underpants, and leaves all
         over- and shook his head.
                "Akane, I gotta go get cleaned up... take Ranko to class,
         will you?"  Akane nodded and left with Ranko.  Ranma dusted off his
         shoulder before sighing again.  School hadn't even begun yet....
                He still had the rest of the day to go.
                                        -=-=-
                "Hurry!", said Akane as she pulled Ranko along.  "We still
         have a little time.  We just might make it-"
                *<BRRRIIINNNGGGG!!!!>*
                "Che!", Akane muttered as Miss Hinako blocked the door.  This
         was the tall and buxom Miss Hinako... with her memory erased of the
         Passion Dust, Hinako fell back on the ki cure she had sought before
         finding out about the Dusts ki raising abilities.  She had ordered
         and received a pair of Battle Fish which emitted constant battle
         auras from their hostile nature.  This could be sucked up by her
         through the round, metal opening at the top of the fishbowl.  It was
         a more bothersome process than Dust, but it was functional... and
         besides, Miss Hinako didn't remember the Dust, right?
                "Open to Chapter 12 and begin the exercise.", Hinako called
         back into the classroom before closing the door and facing the two
         girls.  When she saw Ranko a questioning look crossed her face, but
         it was quickly replaced by a crossed one.  "Tsk, tsk, tsk... Late
         *again*, Miss Tendo... Saotome?"
                "Oh, no, Hinako-sensi!  This isn't Ranma!  This is-"
                "Oh!", Hinako said, cutting Akane off, "I know this game!
         You're the 'Exchange Student'... coming to get extra help from the
         Teacher after school (wink, wink).  Of course I'll have to punish
         the two of you first..."  Hinako smiled as she got lost in thought.
         "Ahem- anyway... I expect to see you both after school!"  Then the
         buxom brunette bent over to whisper in Ranko's ear.
                "Cute dress.  I'm glad you've finally came around.  Trust me,
         you'll have the time of your life... I'll personally make sure to
         that."  Ranko jumped slightly when Miss Hinako tongued her ear and
         grasped her bottom firmly.  Akane stared, not knowing what to do.
                <Lord!  She was supposed to forget!  Everything seemed fine-
         What's going on?  If Ranma was here....>  Akane silently prayed that
         Ranma wouldn't hear about this.  He wouldn't take the failure of
         Dr. Tofu's "Cure" very well.
                Yasha reminded herself to make note of this one.  This
         teacher woman was a kindred spirit...
                                        -=-=-
                When Ranma busted in later, towards the end of class, Miss
         Hinako's jaw dropped as she looked from Ranko to Ranma, repeatedly.
         Before anyone could explain, the bell rang and the trio rushed off
         to their next class.  Thankfully, the rest of the school day had
         remained dull.  No purple-haired ramen-bearing waitresses, no black
         leotarded psychos, and no giant-spatula welding okonomiyaki cooks
         this day.  Ranma was pleasantly surprised and slightly disappointed,
         he kinda wished to show Ranko how tortured he was.
                Why not, then?  They had nothing much else to do and they
         could easily get a free meal out of it!  He proposed the idea to
         Akane.
                "No way!  I haven't seen Shampoo in over a month (somewhere
         some god is smiling upon me) and I'd like to keep it that way!  I
         mean, you know what she's going to do if you show up!  Besides, she
         will probably relapse and try to murder Ranko to restore her amazon
         honor by completing her Kiss of Death.  Why do you want her to glomp
         all over you?"
                "I never said I wanted that!  I just wanted to show Ranko
         around and let her try out the best Ramen joint I know!"
                "We've got the world's best cook at home and you need to go
         out for her to eat?"  The couple's voices increased in volume as
         Ranko looked from one to the other.
                "Kasumi's busy with housework!  Okay... fine, what about
         U-chan's?"
                "I wish you wouldn't call her that."
                "Why?  She's a friend!"
                "I just don't like it okay?"
                "What?  You want your own nickname?  How about Cupcake?  Or
         Honey?  A-chan?  M' Love?  Cutie pie!  My little-"
                "RANMA SHUT UP!"
                Ranko sneezed slightly to get their attention.
                "Excuse me.", she apologized sweetly.
                "Oh- er- sorry... forgot you were there... Com'on Akane!  I
         promise that U-ch- ... -*Ukyou* will be on her best behavior.  Ranko
         has barely seen anything in this town!"  Akane bit her lip and
         considered it.  She looked from Ranko to Ranma's pleading face and
         finally said "yes"... after all, what was the worst that could
         happen?
                                        -=-=-
                Ukyou was rearranging supplies when she heard the door chime.
         She ran out to see Ranma coming through the door.  Barely containing
         her excitement she hopped over to embraced him... Akane ground her
         teeth.
                "Rannnmaaa...", she said under her breath.
                "Heh heh!  Sorry.", Ranma smiled meekly as be untangled
         himself from Ukyou, "U-chan, you think you have seats for the three
         of us?"
                "Three?", Ukyou said, puzzled.
                "Hello!", said Ranko as she stepped out from behind Ranma.
                "..."
                "U-chan, meet my cousin Ranko.  Ranko, meet Ukyou Kuonji...
         the worlds greatest okonomiyaki chef and restaurant owner!"  Ukyou
         blushed and slapped Ranma playfully (painfully?) as she modestly
         denied the compliment.
                "Nice to meet you, Ukyou!"
                "Same here.  Shall we sit?"  Ukyou showed them to a booth,
         "Lemme whip up a batch of my chef specialties and I'll be back!"
                "Sure, thanks U-chan- YEOW!!", cried Ranma as Akane mashed
         his foot.  Ranma slid into the booth first.  Akane was about to sit
         next to him but Ranko slipped in before her.  Akane shrugged and sat
         across from Ranma.  When Ukyou came back she served the oknomiyaki
         with a smile, but frowned inside to see the seats across and next
         to Ranma occupied.  <Hmm... It would probably be easier to move
         Ranko than that stubborn Akane... but I don't want to make a bad
         impression.  Ranma's obviously fond of her... Oh well->
                "Oops!  I forgot the napkins... and I just sat down!", Ukyou
         whined, "Akane, would you be a dear and get some-"  *<Zing!>*
         *<Zing!>*  Ukyou balked.
                "I've got it!"
                <Mmm... this one is more than meets the eye... but then, who
         does Ranma know, that isn't?>  Ukyou took her seat next to Akane
         without any further grumble.
                "So you're a friend of Ranma's?"
                "We're cousin's actually... sort of... not really...-"
                As their story unfolded before Ukyou, she had to bite her
         tongue to keep from mentioning that Ranko looked exactly like Ranma,
         girl-type.  Ukyou was sharp enough to realize that Ranko probably
         didn't know about Ranma's curse... and if he hadn't told her yet, he
         must of had good reason.
                After eating, the four sat and talked after Ukyou brought
         tea.  Everyone listened intently as Ukyou told a story from her
         years at an all boys school.  Ranma found the story so interesting,
         he didn't notice that Ranko had gently taken his hand into hers and
         rested it in his lap.  When he did, though, he had trouble not
         screaming in panic.  As each moment passed, Ranma grew more and more
         nervous about her holding his hand until he decided to get it free.
                Faking a cough, with the plan of covering it with his fist,
         failed when his hand wouldn't budge from that "gentle" grip... it
         was a lot more like a vise!  And unfortunately, his fake cough kept
         going... right into Akane's face.  She took it rather well, deciding
         to damage Ranma later, but not in front of Ranko.
                Lucky, Ranma was able to free his hand... but Ranko's hand
         didn't leave his lap.  Instead, she moved it to his upper thigh and
         rested it there.  Ranma tried his best to focus on Ukyou's story
         but it was hard when Ranko began to rub her hand along his thigh.
         When the punch-line to Ukyou's story came, everyone laughed, except
         Ranma who followed a split second later, laughing a bit too loud.
                Ukyou's story reminded Akane of one of her own experiences
         and she began her tale.  Meanwhile, Ranko had moved her handiwork to
         Ranma's crotch, gripping his inevitable hard-on through his pants.
         Ranma couldn't figure out what he found so exciting... sure what she
         was doing felt good, but the prospect of facing death from two of
         his fiancees was hardly an erotic one.
                Yasha set her mind to multi-tasking, one part actively
         listening and participating in Akane's story, another torturing poor
         Ranma, and a final part meant to examine Ukyou.  Ukyou noticed that
         Ranko was staring at her strangely.  She looked... hungry.  At first
         Ukyou tried to avoid the stare but eventually she caught and held
         Ranko's gaze.  Ukyou began to feel hot and... she couldn't describe
         the other sensation.  It felt vaguely familiar... as if she had felt
         this before but forgotten.  Ukyou crossed her legs and began to
         shift uncomfortably.
                Akane, was totally lost in her story, Ranko spurring her on
         by laughing at all the right times and asking questions that led to
         all the farthest tangents.  Ranma, however, was lost in pleasure and
         pain.  The mental anguish between morals and the sensual was driving
         him mad.  Ranko's delicate and agile fingers had slipped into his
         trousers and were working him good.
                The fact that his pure, sweet, cousin Ranko was giving him a
         hand job, the fact that they were doing this across from Ukyou and
         Akane without them knowing, but knowing they could find out at any
         minute, and his desperate lack of sex all turned his excitement
         level to the max.  And it wasn't just the situation... Ranko was
         giving an expert job, never allowing him release by always keeping
         him on the edge, with slow even strokes... incorporating every
         finger to apply pressure and friction at exactly the right moments.
                Ranma didn't stand a chance.
                Barely maintaining his composure, Ranma came in his pants...
         Ranko took his seed and spread it on his still stiff member then
         squeezed his balls affectionately.  To cover his orgasm, Ranma tried
         coughing sporadically.  He had to end this.
                "Sorry Akane, I need to go to the bathroom, *NOW*! ... Ranko
         you're coming with me."
                "What...?"
                "Er, I need to go too.", Ukyou apologized with a strained
         voice.  Ranma and Ukyou both seemed very tense.  <They must really
         need to go, BAD>  Moving quickly to avoid questions and detection of
         his hardened state, Ranma dragged Ranko into the mens room while
         Ukyou rushed into the ladies room.
                Akane fidgeted alone when she realized she had no one to
         talk to...  <What did I say?>
                                        -=-=-
                First thing Ranma did was lock the door.
                "W-wha-what- What- WHAT WERE YOU *THINKING*!!!?!?!!!"
                "Ranma, I know you love Akane... I understand that... but
         you're all I have left.  I just can't let go!"
                "You don't have to let go!  Just don't be holding me *that*
         way!!!"
                "I- I- wanted to-... Oh I've made a fool of myself again!"
         Ranko began to weep bitterly.  "Forgive me!  I forced myself upon
         you!"
                "Hey, hey!  Come on Ranko... please stop, will ya?  Just
         don't do it again, okay?  You've gotta respect my love for Akane."
                "Yes Cousin..."  Ranko hugged him and wiped her face on his
         chest.  She wrapped her hands about his waist and held him close.
                                        -=-=-
                Ukyou rushed into the ladies' washroom and ran to a sink.
         She splashed some cold water on her face and looked into the mirror
         while resting her arms on the sink.  Despite the water, Ukyou still
         felt incredibly hot, the water just made her feel damp and even more
         uncomfortable.  She felt slightly dizzy and each breath she took
         seemed to go from her nose directly up to the top of her head.
                She couldn't understand the fire and desire with in herself.
         Ukyou actually feared that she was going to die for a moment.  To
         steady herself, she entered a stall, put down the seat cover, and
         sat down burying her face in her hands.  Ukyou had some desperate
         need she didn't know how to fulfill, as if she needed to stretch but
         was too cramped to do so.  She felt like bucking and gyrating
         against the air.  Ukyou wiped her sweaty palms along the
         sides of her skin-tight pants.  A slight shiver ran through her
         when she did it so she tried again.  The same tingle came to her.
                Ukyou stroked her thigh again, this time on the inside.  The
         sensation was marvelous.  She lightly dragged her fingers along the
         inside of her legs to their junction... were the pleasure was
         intensified.  Ukyou wondered why she had never tickled herself there
         before.  A bead of sweat dropped from her nose and Ukyou realized
         that she was really getting hot, so she opened and removed her heavy
         top, leaving herself in only a loose under-shirt and braless.
                The pace and pressure of her tickling had now quickly changed
         into a more frantic rubbing concentrated between her legs.  Ukyou
         was moaning now, the erotic sounds escaped from her throat without
         her realizing it.  She was hunched over and sliding her hand along
         her sensitive slit through the thin material of her pants.  Her
         breasts bounced uncontrollably with each motion, her shirt was
         slipping off her shoulders so a tit bounced freely out of the top of
         her top.  But she didn't notice in her state of euphoria.
                All Ukyou knew was that she was hot and sticky.  Her pants
         were beginning to become uncomfortably damp, sticking to her legs,
         and trapping her high body temperature, so Ukyou peeled them of her
         slender body kicking her legs in the air.  The smooth skin of her
         long legs seemed to breath a sigh of relief from being released.
         Ukyou still wanted to rub herself, and was surprised at how damp she
         was... she didn't know she could sweat so much.  But this wasn't
         like any "sweat" she had smelled before, this had a sweet aroma like
         spring-time that had an intoxicating musk.  Ukyou began rubbing
         her panties until they were almost inside her.  There she found
         more honey, which soaked her panties.  She was at the point of
         driving her fingers into herself with her panties bunched to one
         side, and already in her slit, that's what she did.
                Ukyou fingered herself with experience she didn't know she had,
         and her pleasure soared.  She was moaning almost to the point of
         screaming and writhing like a dying animal.  Suddenly she found
         herself short of breath, lights exploding in front of her eyes, and
         a strange convulsion running through her body.  It was a feeling of
         release.  The contractions forced the honey in her out and all over
         her already sticky hand.  It was an orgasm.  By instinct, Ukyou took
         her hand to her lips and began to lick her fingers.  She enjoyed the
         strange flavor... and wondered for a moment if she could make an
         okonomiyaki sauce with the same taste.
                The fires in her had been doused but the embers still burned
         with desire.  Ukyou's other hand still worked herself slowly as she
         opened her eyes for the first time since she began and looked down
         upon herself.  Weakly, she slid her under-shirt back on her
         shoulders and grasped her breast to stuff it back in.  But as she
         held it she felt its weight and sensitivity to touch.  Ukyou began
         to squeeze the mammary and run her hand all over it.  Her tongue
         moistened her lips then ran along the top of her teeth as she
         played with her nipple and pussy at the same time.  Eager to enjoy
         this new sensation, she moved both hands to work on her breasts as
         she looked on through half-closed eyes.  Ukyou held them up proudly
         as she mashed them against the cold mirror, stiffening her nipples
         further.  In Ukyou's mind, images of Ranma and Ranko using their
         hands to fondle her, ran rampant.  Her desires now went well beyond
         rubbing, she needed penetration.
                Abandoning whatever remained of her reason, Ukyou stripped
         off her panties.  She crumpled them in a ball and took a strong
         whiff before tossing them aside.  Then she took the plunger from the
         corner of the bathroom and stuck it in the middle of the restroom.
         Ukyou positioned herself over the handle and spread her pussy lips
         with her fingers.  Then closing her eyes, she lowered herself upon
         the rod, with images of Ranma and Ranko in mind....
                                        -=-=-
                Ranma was anxious to escape the intimate situation but didn't
         want to hurt or offended Ranko... somehow, he could not grasp the
         slut-ish behavior Ranko had just exhibited.  In his mind, it just
         didn't equate.  Yet, already, she started it up once again.
                Ranko grabbed his bottom and humped herself against Ranma.
         Ranma froze.  Strange thoughts, like how it would feel to make love
         to Ranko, began to enter his mind.  He didn't like it... did he?  To
         test it, he kissed her.  Hmm, it seemed he did like it.  Ranma began
         to frantically make out with his cousin.  Ranko pushed him back so
         as to allow her to pull her dress over her head.
                Ranma lost his breath in awe at her gorgeous body... it was
         identical to the one he had seen in the mirror so many times, but it
         wasn't the same.  This was Ranko... not him.  Besides, he had never
         worn lacy, forest green-  Er, neither was she, anymore.  Ranko
         stood naked before him, allowing him to take in the sights.  He
         swallowed as she took his hand and placed it firmly to her breast.
                Yasha found it amazing that, after all his lovemaking, after
        all those women, and after all this time... Ranma could still be so
        easily dumbstuck by a little teasing.  He was behaving awkward as if
        he had never done this before.  Ranma clumsily mashed and groped her
        breast as Ranko smiled at him.  <This is nice... but something is
        interfering with his ability to recall his training.>
                Ranko led him to the sinks, where she propped herself up
        suggestively.  Ranma took his cue and began licking her cunt.
        Already she was flowing considerably.  Ranma nearly fainted from the
        scent.  Ranko squeezed one of her breasts while grasping Ranma's hair
        for control.  <Yes, that's it... good, he's- Ahhh!- remembering!!
        He's already- OH!- found my spot!!!>, Yasha thought excitedly as
        Ranma added his fingers to the process.  He began advanced techniques
        that alternated assaults against her pleasure center.
                While Yasha could have easily decided not to, she came hard.
        Ranma struggled to keep up with her honey.  Ranko shivered and went
        slightly limp from excursion.  Ranma knew he should continue to keep
        up her level of stimuli but a pang of conscience caused him to stop.
                "That- that was wonderful, Ranma... you're stoppin!?!  Don't
        stop!  Please don't stop!!", Ranko said.
                "All right now.  We're even."
                "Not quite.  I only gave you hand job.  Never got a chance to
        suck your cock and give you a blow job.  While you were eating me out
        almost the entire time!"
                "..."  Just barely, Ranma's brain was beginning to comprehend
        that Ranko was a bit more experienced that he had originally thought.
                "Com'on Cousin.  Drop your pants, lemme see it."  Ranma
        mentally resisted but was only able to go so far.  He grabbed her by
        the wrists and held her to the mirror to kiss her deeply.  Ranko made
        sure to taste herself in his mouth.  It would only be a few more
        moments until- after all she could already feel it against her leg!
        Ranma twitched and pulled back suddenly.
                "NO!", he shouted at no one in particular.
                Before him was his cursed, red-headed, girl-type persona
        smiling up at him with contentment and cute green eyes.  He had done
        this before... he was sure of it!  The green eyes... they belonged to
        a... a... a demoness!! 
                "Succubus.", Ranma murmured.
                "Wha-?", Ranko said trying to look surprised.
                "Yasha!", Ranma recalled.
                "Dammit!"
                "AKA- *<Zip!>*"  Before he could shout Akane's name, Yasha
        bound his mouth with a spell of silence and levitated him into the
        air so he couldn't escape.
                "Tsk, tsk, tsk... this is not good, not good at all."  It
        seemed she could only affect his mind to be hentai for so long before
        he would recall who she was.  Yasha looked over her last, sloppy job
        of "erasing" his memory.  One's memory couldn't be erased, exactly...
        more like, a section of one's mind is bypassed until the memories
        there slowly faded.  She had inadvertently bypassed some of his early
        love training so he was slow to recall it.  She could, of course,
        just do a lobotomy to remove the unwanted parts of Ranma's mind...
        but she still liked him too much.
                Yasha knew that she would have to bypass this event as well.
        But with each redundant bypass the effects degrade and the likely-
        hood of remembrance increases.  Why couldn't Ranma be a good little
        boy?  Yasha worked a second web of bypasses to get him to forget the
        little fling they just had, working more carefully but taking in
        account the time, so that Akane would not grow suspicious.  When she
        finished she cleaned them both, thought of a story to program into
        Ranma, and woke him up.
                                        -=-=-
                "It's about time you came out of there!  I was beginning to
        wonder if I should call the police-  Hey Ranko?  You okay?  You look
        sort of pale."  Akane rushed to her side as Ranko faltered slightly
        in walking.
                "Heh heh... just a little shock to the system... I know what
        you told me to be ready for now."
                "So he told you?"
                "Actually he *showed* me.", Ranko smiled weakly.
                "Ranma, why'd you tell her *now*?!"
                "I figured it would be better to tell her here rather than
        out on the street somewhere.  I figured she'd freak out."
                "Okay that makes sense, but why here and not the Dojo?"
                "Com'on you know it can be crazier in there than out on the
        streets!"
                "I guess you're right.  I think we should take Ranko home...
        should we just leave Ukyou?"
                "I'll write a note saying Ranko felt a little sick so we took
        her home.  You two go on ahead."  Akane led Ranko out.
                "So he told you about his curse, right?"
                "Uh huh.  He told me there were others, are you one of them?"
                "No, I don't transform in to anything....  Ranko you seem to
        take shock a little poorly.  Your Cousin's a strange guy.  To prepare
        you, lemme tell you about Ranma and cats...."
                                        -=-=-
                "U-chan,
                        Ranko was feeling sick (don't worry, it wasn't caused
                by your food) so we couldn't wait around.  See ya later.
                                                        -Ranma"
                Ukyou looked at the note thankfully.  There was no way she
        could possibly have faced all three of them after what she just did.
        Ranko especially.  She had never (to her knowledge) felt that way
        towards another female.  Occasionally, with Ranma... but never that
        intensely.  Ukyou was scared, but she wanted to see Ranko again.  For
        the rest of the day, and some time after that, her mind was always
        preoccupied with the vision of Ranko and her blazing green eyes.
                                        -=-=-
                When Ranko, Ranma, and Akane got home they were greeted by
        Kasumi and Nabiki.
                "You guys have fun, out on the town?", asked Nabiki.
                "We went to U-ch- *<WHACK!>* OW!  Damn!  Ukyou's.", Ranma
        said as he nursed his wounded ear.  "Told Ranko about my curse, too."
                "Darn... guess I can't blackmail you over that, huh?"
                "Blackmail...-?", asked Ranko.
                "It's what she does, Ranko.  Nabiki is a master at extortion,
        negotiation, blackmail, and profit.  If ever she tries to make a deal
        with you, run to me or Ranma... not that it'll help much, she'd
        probably outwit both of us, then."  Nabiki smiled at the compliment.
                "That reminds me... you two have been on rather friendly
        terms lately."
                "Yes, Akane, you and Ranma don't seem to fight as much as you
        used to.", Kasumi added.  Ranma and Akane balked.  They had forgotten
        to keep their relationship a secret to these two now that they had
        forgot their entire Passion Dust experience.  Unconvincingly they
        both tried to deny it.
                "Heh!  Yeah right!  The only reason I was being nice to that
        Uncute Tomboy was so that she wouldn't hit me like a Mac Truck!"
                "Oh yeah?!  You think it's easy pretending to be nice to an
        insensitive Jerk!?!  You're running around with-"
                "But I thought Ranma called you Cutie-", Ranko said.
                "Don't interrupt!", Ranma said nervously as he covered her
        mouth.  "Yeah!  That's another thing!  You never let me say my mind!
        When I do... you crack me over the skull!  Who's ever gonna marry a
        Macho Chick who doesn't know when to shuttup!?!"
                "Oooo!!  You call yourself a martial artist and you can't
        even take a few girly punches!!  I have a good mind to-"  The two
        stormed off arguing with each other, oblivious to all else.  They
        were out of practice but it came back rather easily, although they
        both had to keep themselves from laughing.  They now saw how stupid
        their fights had always been.  They kept screaming until they got to
        the training hall where they invented sounds of combat, with the
        classic finale of Ranma landing in the carp pond.  Ranma-chan crawled
        out and leaned against a tree.  Despite her wetness, Akane sat Ranma
        in her lap.
                "That oughtta hold them for a bit."
                "That was quite a performance, Ranma."
                "Performance?  Whatta ya mean, performance?  I meant every
        one of those words!"
                "Of course you did."  Akane kissed her.
                "I'll go change... you know.  Sometimes I think we should
        just tell them all... but then I remember that Nabiki's still got
        more film to spare."  Ranma-chan kissed Akane back and headed back
        into the Dojo.
                "Hey, where's Ranko?"
                                        -=-=-
                "...and so I've trained mostly with my Father."
                "How sad, though... I'm sure you're mother would be proud."
                Ranko continued the conversation but at the same time
        observed the two elder Tendo sisters.  One seemed so innocent while
        the other so devilish (no blasphemy intended).  Yet she saw the same
        thing in their eyes as what she saw in Hinako's, Ukyou's, and
        sometimes Akane's eyes.  She didn't have enough time to scan Ranma's
        mind for who he had done... but she knew he was experienced with more
        than one woman and that it was likely that these two were part of it.
        She had already confirmed that Hinako knew Ranma in the biblical
        sense and suspected all the others.  She would test them.
                "So you're studying to be a nurse as well?"
                "That or perhaps an herbalist.", replied Kasumi.
                "Maybe you can do something for me.  You see, I have this
        terrible sprain...."  Ranko put her foot on a chair and began to lift
        her skirt up.  Watching for their reaction, Yasha confirmed what she
        already thought.  Kasumi and Nabiki twitched when they saw thigh.
        "It hurts around here."  She pointed to her inside upper thigh.
                Kasumi swallowed.  She had a Tiger Balm patch that could be
        applied to the spot and removed the next day with impressive results
        but for some reason she didn't want to do it that way.
                "Nabiki?  Can you get the Tiger Balm from my room?"
                "Sure, Sis."  As Nabiki left, Kasumi took Ranko's thigh and
        began kneading it.
                "This is to loosen the muscles...", Kasumi tried to justify.
        In truth she just wanted to touch Ranko's leg.  She knew of no reason
        for her desire, and it scared her.  Nabiki returned with the balm.
                "Thank you, Nabiki... just open it up and I'll-"
                "Oh it's okay, Sis, my hands already smell from this stuff so
        I'll do it."
                "Um... okay.", Kasumi said with a hint of regret.  Nabiki
        took a small amount of ointment in each hand began to apply it to
        Ranko's thigh.
                "Oh!  It's cool feeling!  A bit tingly too."  Somehow, Nabiki
        derived a sense of satisfaction from hearing Ranko say that.  Kasumi
        was biting her lip when she interrupted.
                "That's very good Nabiki... um, but you're doing it a bit
        wrong.  Here, let me show you."  Kasumi took Nabiki's hands and
        together they began lubing Ranko's leg.  Nabiki coughed and their
        hands slipped on to Ranko's crotch.  It was slightly dampened.  For
        effect, Yasha let out a slight moan.  The two Tendo sisters instantly
        recoiled and looked uncomfortable.
                "Ranko... let that air a little then you can go about, just
        don't rub against it.  I think I've got laundry to do... excuse me."
                "Me too, I've gotta hit the books.  See ya.", said Nabiki as
        she left Ranko alone.  Yasha smiled happily... tonight she was going
        to have some fun.
                                        -=-=-
                That night everyone felt uneasy as they plotted and planned.
        Both Akane and Ranko waited for the other to fall asleep.  Ranma
        tossed and turned in bed as Ranko kept invading his mind.  And the
        two eldest Tendo sisters wanted to figure out just what had happened
        in the kitchen this afternoon.  Panda and Soun slept like babies.
                Ranko opened her eyes to check if Akane had finally fallen
        asleep.  She was about to get up when she saw Akane slip out of bed.
        Akane went over to her and looked at a moment to see if Ranko had
        fallen asleep.  Once assured, Akane left and crossed the hall into
        Ranma's room.  Ranko got up immediately and left to enter Nabiki's
        room but stopped when she saw the door begin to open.  Yasha willed
        herself invisible and watched as Nabiki slipped into Kasumi's room.
        Yasha floated through Kasumi's walls to enter her room.
                Panda snored.  Soun sucked his thumb.
                                        -=-=-
                "Ranma?"
                "Hey, I've been expecting you...."
                "You have?"
                "Nah, but it seemed like the thing to say.  I just couldn't
        sleep.  Com'on climb in."  Akane hopped in bed and snuggled close to
        Ranma.  "So what do you think of Ranko?"
                "She's a very nice girl... I hope things turn out for the
        better with her."
                "Yeah I know what you mean.  But- ... -I don't know, I just
        feel that something's fishy about her."
                "Huh?  *Ranko*!?  Come on!"
                "No!  I mean it!  I sometimes feel like I'm around Nabiki
        when I'm with her."
                "You think she's cute don't you?"
                "Wha-?"
                "Don't you?"
                "What does this have to do with-"
                "Do you?"
                "Okay, yeah, sure.  I think Ranko's cute.  But no cuter than
        me and certainly not as cute as you."
                "I'm flattered, but there's your problem.  I'm not cuter than
        Ranko and you know it.  You-"
                "Hey!  You're the-"  Akane shushed him.
                "You think she's cuter than me and it's making you guilty...
        that's very sweet.  But I'm not the most beautiful girl it the world,
        Ranma.  That's not why we fell in love.  It doesn't matter to me."
                "Hey, but I think Ukyou's cute and I don't feel that way! ...
        But then again... Did I ever tell you about Ranko and me?"
                "No."
                "When we were just kids... I think I said I'd marry her."
                "You *WHAT*?!"
                "Please Akane!  There was no romantic intent!  We were kids
        and she was my first female friend.  I wanted to stress that we were
        good friends so I called upon the strongest girl-boy bond a child has
        ever seen... marriage."
                "Okay.  Sorry I got mad... sheesh, *another* fiancee!"
                "Well I think she remembers when I said that.  I don't know."
                "It's okay... just don't think about it too much, right?"
                "Yeah, I guess that's what been bothering me.  I think every
        girl is out to get me... even my own Cousin!  Heh heh."
                "Feel better?"
                "A little bit... Akane?  Why'd you slap me back then?  I mean
        I know you were busy and had a lot of work-"
                "No, it's not that.  It's just that, we don't spend a whole
        lot of time alone together.  Whether it's battling evil oni or 
        ancient perverts, fat phoenixes or walking mailboxes, watermelon
        attacks or voodoo masters... it takes up that time!  And when we do
        have the time... we have sex.  I guess I was a little sick and tired
        of such a shallow relationship.  I wanted a more.  I was under some
        stress and I guess it just translated into anger."
                "I understand.  So what you want to talk about?"
                "What?!  I came here to get laid!", Akane smiled evily.
                "Huh?  What about 'shallow relationships'?!", Ranma said with
        earnest nervousness.
                "I still want communication but tonight I'm horny!  Com'on
        Ranma, I wasn't in the mood then.  I'm on fire now!"
                "Aw shimatta!  *I'm* not in the mood!"  Ranma physically felt
        sexually satisfied from Ranko this afternoon, but not remembering the
        event, he thought it was his strong will that allowed him to abstain.
                "'I have a headache'?  You can do better than that!  Is this
        revenge for the slap?"  Akane climbed on top of him and looked at him
        coyly.
                "Do I have to slap you now?"
                "You don't hit girls, remember?  Will you at least let me get
        you into the mood?", Akane asked with pleading eyes.
                "I really don't feel like 'performing' tonight... but...."
                "Thanks Honey!"  Akane immediately began pulling off her
        pajamas.
                "Damn, I could never say 'no' to you!"  Ranma watched as she
        stripped down to her undies with his hands resting on the sides of
        her waist.
                "The mark of a wonderful husband!", said Akane as she began
        to work Ranma's clothes off.
                "Is that the only reason you love me?  To get married so that
        you don't become an Old Maid?", laughed Ranma.  Akane pouted in mock
        anger.
                "OLD MAID?  Hmph!  Do you think an Old Maid could have as
        gorgeous a set of these?!"  Akane unclipped her bra to reveal her
        firm breasts.  Ranma grabbed her tits to inspect them.
                "Hmm... I don't know... Old Woman Kiechi's aren't that bad a
        set...*<Whack>* -Oof!- *<Thud>* -Hah hah!", cried Ranma as Akane hit
        him with a pillow.  "Alright!  Alright!  You win!"
                "Besides... would an Old Maid do this?"  Akane tugged Ranma's
        boxers off and grasped his stiff cock.  "Hmmmm... seems like you're
        in the mood, after all...", Akane softly murmured as she stroked
        Ranma.  Ranma let out a slow groan.  Akane sat up and pushed her
        panties to her ankles then kicked them off.  She turned around and
        sat on Ranma's face while suckling his erection.  Ranma returned the
        favor, feverishly pleasuring her pussy.  Ranma moved one of his hands
        from her waist to fondle her breasts while the other aided his
        tongue.
                This continued for several minutes until they both had their
        turns orgasming.  They untangled and cuddled.  Akane wiped her mouth
        before she spoke.
                "That was nice."
                "Is that all you can say?"
                "You're an egotist even in bed, Ranma.", Akane sighed in
        accusation, then eagerly, "You ready for the real thing?"
                "Akane... It's really hard not to be ready around you when
        your like this!"
                "Okay good!"  Akane climbed on top again this time impaling
        herself upon Ranma.  "Oh God!  It's been awhile!", she gasped as she
        began to ride him.  Ranma thrusted into her as they matched rhythms,
        slamming together in erotic slaps.  Very quickly Akane orgasmed with
        Ranma following a little later.  They didn't stop.
                Around 2 o'clock in the morning...
                "Oh!  OH!  OOH!  Ranma!  If we don't stop there's not going
        to be much left of us in the morning!"
                "I know!  Urg!  We should stop!"
                "Aaahh!  Do you feel like stopping?"
                "No.  Ung!  Grunt!"
                "Neither do I."
                "Okay then."  They kept going a bit when Akane objected
        again.
                "Ranma this is silly!  We've got to stop sometime!"
                "Yeah I know."
                "Let's stop then."
                "I... can't."
                "What do you mean?!"
                "I'm still... hard."
                "So.  It'll go away, eventually."
                "You know the way I am!  I get hard and I stay hard!"
                "Ranma.", Akane said impatiently while looking rather silly.
        After all, she was doing her best to look cross while naked and
        bobbing up and down on Ranma's shaft.
                "Okay, okay!  Then do something!"
                "What?"
                "Anything to make me stop!  Anything that'll turn me off!"
                "Um, um, um... I got it!"
                "Okay, what is it?"
                "You know, Hinako-sensi?"
                "Of course I know her!  I 'know' her in many ways Akane!  I
        know that she's got the biggest bust and the shortest skirt of all
        the female teachers I've met in their twenties!  This doesn't help
        me any, Akane!", Ranma said somewhat irritated.
                "Well you know how you got tried of screwing her and all the
        others?  And Dr. Tofu made a cure so that they'd stop?  And how you
        were really happy after that?"
                "Yeah, get to the point!", Ranma said urgently.
                "Well it stopped working.  She has remembered."  Ranma
        immediately deflated; it took his hips a second to realize that they
        should stop bucking... but Akane's comment had the desired effect.
                "What do you mean, she's remembered!?!?!"
                "It's like this.  Ranko and I, we got to class a bit late..."
                                        -=-=-
                When Nabiki entered Kasumi's room it really wasn't much of a
        surprise to find her awake.  Yasha watched them while pumping their
        minds with hentai thoughts.
                "Hey Sis."
                "Nabiki... you couldn't sleep?"
                "No, it doesn't seem like you could either."
                "So why are you here?"
                "I couldn't stop thinking about Ranko... and this afternoon."
        Kasumi immediately blushed and turned back to her book.  Nabiki
        smiled to herself... as did Yasha.
                "I- I- I don't know what you're talking about."
                "Kasumi you're turning all red!  If you're going to lie, at
        least be better at it!  Come on, I know you know."
                "R-really I don't... please.  I don't want to talk about it!"
                "What's there to be ashamed of Kasumi?  We both got a little
        excited by Ranko... what's the big deal?"
                "I- I'm not that kind of girl... at least I didn't think I
        was."  Nabiki shook her head and took an album from behind her back.
                "Kasumi, this'll be shocking for you but I have to show it to
        you.  After that incident with Ranko, I nearly remembered something-
        something I had lost.  I couldn't hold onto the thought, but it
        helped me to find this."
                "What's in it?", Kasumi said with fear in her voice.
                "I'm not sure, really... take a deep breath and look."  She
        closed her eyes as Nabiki opened the album.  When Kasumi opened them,
        she opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out because she
        fainted first.
                                        -=-=-
                "Kasumi?  Kasumi?  Kasumi, are you okay?"
                "Oh, Nabiki!  It's you... I had a nightmare... a very strange
        one!  It was about- ..."  Kasumi couldn't speak when she saw that the
        pictures were real.  On her lap sat a thick album of pictures.  They
        depicted herself, Nabiki, and Miss Hinako in various postures, poses,
        and actions which began to make Kasumi feel uncomfortably warm.
                On the very first page was a picture of the trio grabbing
        each other's tits, with vibrators in their cunts, while smiling for
        the camera.  Another showed Kasumi and Nabiki eating each other out,
        while yet another showed Hinko playing with herself.
                "T-t-that can't b-be me!"  Kasumi pointed at the pictures.
                "I don't know how to explain it, Sis, but it has to be.  I
        can tell that these photos were taken with my camera... but I don't
        remember doing any of these things."  Nabiki took one photo out and
        showed Kasumi the back.  "Look at the date.  Try to remember anything
        you've done around or on that date."
                "I- I can't... what does that prove, Nabiki?  My life is very
        simple.  Outstanding things don't happen to me very often."
                "Alright, but I've been going to school.  I tried to recall
        my lessons, I couldn't!  Anything my friends talk about from any of
        the dates these pictures were taken, I can't recall!  But the funny
        thing is, I must've setup the camera for every one of these pictures!
        You see, my camera has a defect that only I know about and can get
        around!"
                "So we were willing participants for whatever happened!"
                "You could tell that by the looks on our faces in those pics,
        Kasumi.  I wonder how Miss Hinako's mixed up in this?"
                "We'd better find out.  We'll talk to her first as soon as
        possible!"
                "Let's do that... but I have another idea for now.  The best
        way to remember something, is to do it again."
                "You can't mean-"
                "I want to re-enact some of these pictures, right now.  It'll
        help us remember!"
                "We can't!"
                "We already are!"
                "I don't want to!"
                "Don't say that, you know that you do... look at yourself!"
        Kasumi looked down to see her hand up her nightie and in her sex..
        Her other hand was teasing the nipple of her left breast through the
        material of her nightgown.  She flushed and tried to stop but found
        that she couldn't.  Actually she could partially stop, but only long
        enough for her to turn to the next page in the album.
                "N-Nabiki!", Kasumi moaned as tears ran down her face.  Her
        sister shushed her as she undid her blouse and nursed Kasumi on her
        breast.  Kasumi ran her hands along Nabiki's legs until she reached
        her shorts.  She undid the top button and plunged her hand underneath
        the waistband of Nabiki's panties, playing with her pussy.  Nabiki
        moaned and reached to grab Kasumi's ass, when instinctively she moved
        her hand under the mattress to pull out a pink vibrator.
                As if by rote, Nabiki switched it to max and shoved it into
        Kasumi unceremoniously.  Kasumi gasped at the sudden intrusion, and
        sat up straight, sending Nabiki to her back.  Kasumi moved her kisses
        from between Nabiki's cleavage, down to her naval, and finally to the
        top of her panties.  Tugging her shorts off, Nabiki pulled her the
        crotch of her panties to one side to accommodate Kasumi.  Although
        being pounded, without mercy, by the highly effective vibrator...
        Kasumi was methodical with Nabiki.
                She pushed her fingers between Nabiki's swollen petals to
        access the stiff clitoris.  Kasumi smiled somewhat evily and licked
        one of her fingers before proceeding.  She watched Nabiki's reaction
        as she bit gently on her clit and flicked her tongue across it.  She
        continued to probe Nabiki with her stiffened tongue until Nabiki came
        uncontrollably.  Kasumi didn't stop, causing her younger sister to
        experience orgasm in rapid succession.  After a while Kasumi lifted
        her cum smeared face to kiss Nabiki and smile.
                "You never did have much endurance."  Nabiki, panting and
        flushed, looked at her with a questioning look.
                "And just how did you know that?"  Kasumi stopped to think
        but was forced to simply shrug.  "I just remember that you cum faster
        and more often than...."
                "Than who!", Nabiki demanded.
                "Than... I don't know.  I don't remember.  Help me with this!
        I'm not getting anywhere with it!", Kasumi said desperately as she
        fingered herself around the vibrator.  Nabiki damped her already
        soaked panties at the prospect and motioned for her sister to lie
        back.  Kasumi did, spreading her legs high and wide, causing Nabiki
        to nearly cum again at just the sight.  Nabiki removed Kasumi's pink
        vibrator and licked it clean.  She then removed her panties and threw
        them to the floor.  Wrapping Kasumi's long legs about herself, Nabiki
        began to slowly grind their pussies together.
                Kasumi moaned as Nabiki moved her hands up her smooth belly
        to cup her elder sister's large breasts.  Nabiki's hung down and
        jiggled slightly with each rotation of her hips... Kasumi had no
        choice but to reach out and fondle.  Nabiki began an expert tease on
        Kasumi's breasts accelerating her pleasure.  She would accompany each
        pinch of a nipple with an extra hard and fast grind while biting her
        lip in an evil smile.  Finally, Kasumi could stand it no longer and
        began to rotate her own crotch in an opposite direction from Nabiki's
        sending them both in to a frenzy.
                Yasha, at the same time had been invisibly masturbating to
        the touching love scene before her... it made her homesick for the
        many pleasures she and her fellow succubi shared.  She didn't let her
        sedimentality get in the way of her purpose, however.  Slowly she had
        undid all the weaving that held back the two sister's memory.  When
        they had their next orgasm....
                "OHHH!!!"
                "OIMMMPH!!!"
                Nabiki collapsed and screamed into the bedding while Kasumi 
        cried passionately into Nabiki's shoulder to muffle their cries.
        Their bodies continued to spasm and shiver, their cunts clenching
        reflexively after their supernaturally aided orgasm.  Kasumi lifted
        her sister's head, brushed strands of wet hair from her face, then
        kissed her with love and closeness.
                "I remember everything.", Kasumi said simply and quietly.
                "Then that makes two of us....", Nabiki smiled and hugged her
        sister with her body.  Nabiki fell asleep almost instantly on top of
        Kasumi.  Although she had a full grown woman crushing her, and that
        she was damp and sticky, hot and sweaty, and that she would have to
        do a whole lot of cleaning the next day; Kasumi was more comfortable
        than she had been in a while.  She maneuvered as best she could to
        cover the both of them with sheets and fell asleep peacefully.
