                                      Ranma's first time



     This is a Ranma �  fanfic based on characters owned and copyrighted Takahashi Rumiko and VIZ communications. It is lime flavored but is not a lemon. It is also not really a dark tale, but does deal with adult situations that every girl faces when they are suddenly no longer a girl, but a young women, even one that is actually a cursed young man.

                                       The Story

    

   Kasumi peered into her laundry room to investigate the strange noises coming from it.  <I thought there was no one in there. >

   There she found Ranma-chan, sitting on a stool before the wash basin, dressed in one of Akane's old sundresses, which she must have appropriated from the laundry.  She was methodically washing a pair of her Chinese pants and had not noticed Kasumi's appearance behind her.



    <How strange> Thought Kasumi <Ranma-chan has never tried helped out with the laundry before, a matter of fact, Ranma-chan (or Ranma) has never liked doing anything she considered to be a feminine task before> Kasumi well knew.



    "May I help you, Ranma-chan?" Kasumi finally asked, just as Ranma-chan had finished wringing the excess water out of the garment.



    You would have thought Kasumi had stuck her with a pin the way the startled Ranma-chan jumped up off the stool in surprise. 



   "Ugh ... Kasumi, I ...um ...  Fine!  I... ugh.... Don't need any help" said Ranma-chan as she quickly tried to hide the balled up pair of pants.



   "Now, now, Ranma-chan, they'll wrinkle that way" replied Kasumi as she tried to retrieve the garment from Ranma-chan.

 

    "They're, ... um...  OK, Kasumi.  I am... um...  All done" Ranma-chan said, as she shied away from Kasumi. 



    "I'll just hang this up later!"  Ranma-chan continued as she suddenly bolted from the room, taking the pants with her.



    Kasumi shook her head as she watched the departing young girl, with a slight smile on her lips.



    <Things are never boring with Ranma around!> Kasumi thought.  <Now I have a mystery solve, what is Ranma up to now?>  Kasumi thought to herself as she started to clean up the mess left in her laundry room by Ranma. 

    <Really!  I have no problem with Ranma washing his own clothes, OPPS!  I mean hers! (with a silent chuckle)  But she must learn to clean up afterwards!  I will not condone the messy house!>



    As she approached the basin, she  noticed that wash water inside it was tinted pink in color.



    <What?, What this? is it....... blood?  In the water?  Is Ranma-chan hurt?  She then quickly looked around for anymore evidence of injury.



     <Oh My!  Here is some more blood!> She thought, as she examined the stool Ranma-chan had just been sitting on.



    <Maybe it is not 'What is Ranma up to' but Is Ranma-chan hurt?  And why is she hiding it from me?.> Pondered Kasumi.



*       *       *        *        *        *        *         *         *          *          *         *         *        *        



   Ranma-chan dashed into the guestroom she shared with her pop and quickly shut the door behind her. 



   <KAMI!  That was close!  Kasumi is the last person I want to know about this (except for Akane of course!)>  Ranma-chan thought, as a slight film of moisture formed around her tear ducts. 



   <Why did this have to happen?  Having his cursed female form is bad enough, but now this!  And with Ryouga.............!>



   Ranma gingerly pulled up the hem of her dress and pulled down her panties to examine herself.  She could not help but noticed a dampness in her red pubic hair.  She reached her hand down to her groin to further examine herself.



    <UH.....  Red?!!> She thought in shook, as she looked the moisture on her hand.  <It's still bleeding> as tears once again formed around her eyes and threatened to burst forth.



    <I wish I spent more time listening to the Sensei rather than ogling all those pictures during the Sex Ed classes.!> Ranma-chan bemoaned to herself.



    The thought <I need.....  Help..., I need.....  Advice?!> Quickly entered into Ranma-chan's mind.

 

    <But who?....  Not Kasumi, that would be like telling my mother!  May be a real girl might do that but not me!> as her thoughts continued. 



    < Tell Pop instead?,  wait...., am I crazy? After today, I feel I just may be!> as she continued to try and figure out what to do.



    <Um... Akane? YACK!  That's the worst thing I could do. This is something I hope she never knows about, She wouldn't understand..!>  Ranma-chan realized with a shake of her head.  



    <Advice, Advice......  Of course!  Nabiki!  She can help me!, she always has in the past!,  plus she will keep this a secret, for a price, of course! >



*         *        *         *         *         *          *          *          *          *         *          *          



    Ranma-chan lightly knocked on the door to Nabiki's room, hoping that no one else (like Akane!) would hear it.  Nabiki open the door and her eyes went round in surprise as she took in the unusual sight of Ranma-chan in a dress, and the frighten, tearful expression on her face.



   "Ranma, May I .  help you?"  She asked, phrasing it as a leading question.



   "Nabiki!  I need your advice, ...um...  I need your.... HELP!  But this must never..... ever....  Be revealed ta anyone!"  Ranma-chan whispered to her.



    Nabiki raised an eyebrow and a slight predatory grin appeared on her face.<AH!,  Just as my finances were getting low!> as she gestured for Ranma-chan to enter her room. 



    Ranma-chan quickly entered Nabiki's bedroom, while keeping her eyes down cast, and her whole body blushed red in embarrassment. 

   "Um......  Nabiki?,  um. ah....  This is a.... um.....  female thing" She finally managed to say, as her face turned almost as red as her hair.



     Nabiki's eyes lit up and you could almost hear a "Ka Ching!, Ka Ching!"  of a cash register drawer opening.  <!JACKPOT!> She mentally screamed.

  

   "Can you elaborate on this thing ?" She asked of the  scared girl.



   "I was fightin' with Ryouga and then .........."  Ranma-chan's voice trailed off, becoming too low to hear.



   "Speak up!"  Demanded Nabiki.



   "Well, we were grappling and then ........"   Her voice again becoming too low to hear, but this time Nabiki leans forward to hear the faint the whisper.



   "WHAT!"  Yelled out to a shocked Nabiki. "You?.. YOU?!!......  And with Ryouga?!...  Wait!...  Start over at the beginning and this time do not mumble!"



   "I was hungry for some ice cream, so I um.... changed  into a girl.  Ya know that ol' man Misaki is,  a. um, .... push over for an extra large portion when I'm...., well...., in my girl form".



   Nabiki nodded her head in acknowledgement.  Unlike Akane, she had no trouble with Ranma-chan using her feminine wiles to con dirty old men out of food, or money for that matter!  Nabiki just wished that she was as cute and as sexy as Ranma-chan's female form.

   <Trust a boy to have the prettiest face, and hottest body in all of Nerima!,  Hmm... Then again, his male body is just as good> Nabiki observed.



   "Well" Ranma-chan continued. "On the way home, Ryouga caught up with me!  I wasn't in the mood for a fight, bein' a girl and all, so I took off through that wooded arboretum in the park, hopin' ta lose him.  I stopped runnin' when he...., um...., accused me of runnin' out on a fight again!"  Confessed Ranma-chan. "Then I had ta fight!"



   "We fought for what seemed like hours, then as we finally started to tire, a we ended up wrestlin', his strength against my skill and agility, trying ta pin the other.  But...,  in my female form, I just couldn't... ,um-, ...Win!  But I just couldn't, wouldn't, allow Ryouga to defeat me, either.  I managed ta wrap up my legs 'round a tree so that Ryouga couldn't pin me" said Ranma-chan, as she started to blush.



   "He.... um..... managed ta get his hand 'tween my thighs and was pullin' them apart, as he tried ta break my hold on that tree.  He then worked his hand down there!"  Ranma-chan said as her eyes quickly darted down to her groin area.



   "He was tryin' ta get enough leverage ta break my hold ....,  and then...,  I started ta feel....., you know, different!  Down THERE!,  Kind of a sticky, squishy feeling all at the same time.  Ryouga's hand continued to rub up 'gainst my crotch and he managed to work his other hand between my thighs, too.  He then used his strength ta force my legs apart....., I fell flat on my back, ta the ground, pullin' Ryouga down with me!  I couldn't help it, he landed smack dap on top of me, right between my legs!  I tried ta wrap my legs 'round his waist, but he used his hands to keep my legs spread as he press down on top of me with the rest his body, still tryin' ta pin me! There was a sudden feeling of wetness..., um...., Down There!" As Ranma eyes again glanced at her groin. "And I,  um , We....  Gulp!, Well..., um..., IT JUST HAPPEN!"  Ranma-chan finally managed to say.



   "..... I, Ah...  still don't know .... just what happen! And Ryouga ... um.... he seemed to be just as ...um, confused as me!  Neither one of use knew what was happen', just that once it started, or happened, or what ever, I ... didn't, ...wouldn't, STOP!.  Then the blood,...  From "it",..  All over my...  Groin..  And of course it got all over him, too... "



   <KAMI!, You better be ready to pay off BIG!  This may put me all the way through college!> Nabiki thought half jokingly, as she listened, then mentally chastised herself <This is a very serious matter!> 



    "I . um, managed ta get home without anyone seeing me. At least I don't think anyone saw me, or Ryouga, while we where . um, um, fightin' in the woods." A thoroughly embarrassed and upset Ranma-chan's voice once more trailed off to silence.



     "Well?, Then what?  Did you . um .. WASHUP?!" Nabiki ask as she glanced down at Ranma-chan's groin area with a slightly disgusted look on her face. < I don't SEE any stains on that dress ..?>



    "I . ah, .. washed up, best I could, while down in the laundry room. I was, ...um, well I din't want ta change back yet, so I just used lukewarm water."  Ramna-chan glanced at Nabiki, hoping that she wouldn't press her for the real reason she didn't change back. 

   <How could I explain, how could I tell  HER, exactly how scared I am!  Me, ol'macho-man Ranma, himself!  That I'm afraid, afraid of what happened! Afraid that I have somehow changed, I just might NOT transform back, anymore!> a panicky Ranma-chan thought to herself.



   "I then managed ta, uh, appropriated one of Akane's old sun dresses and a pair of panties to wear." answered Ranma-chan. 



    <So that's why there are no stains!, I should have guessed that Ranma-chan had changed clothes!  But . If see didn't, fully . a . clean herself, then she still could ..!?> Nabiki knew from her experience as a girl. <I have to do something to help her> when though her mind as she observed the scared, and panicky look in Ranma-chan's face and eyes.

 

   "Ranma-chan, do you know about.....  Do you use a...?"  Nabiki voice trailing off <careful!  I need to word is just right,  I really do not want to scare her any further!>



   "Use a....  What?  Come on, Nabiki, you know me, I'm really a guy!  I never paid any attention ta all that female stuff in Sex Ed class!"  Ranma-chan pleaded "that's why I'm here, ta ask YOU, for ....um, Help, advice, whatever!"



   Nabiki glanced out the door and seeing the empty hallway,  she quickly led Ranma-chan to the empty bathing room.



   "Let's get that dress off you, Ranma-chan" She told Ranma-chan, after shutting the door, but not before hanging the "in use" sign.



   "Nabiki! Y-yo- you..... c -ca-can't meeaan.....!! "Ranma-chan stuttered out.



   "Come on Ranma-chan, your a girl right now!  And it's not like I haven't seen your female body nude before!"  Nabiki interrupted.  <You really are a girl, at least for the moment, there is no doubt about that now!> "Nabiki smirked.



   With that, Ranma-chan slowly, reluctantly, removed Akane's dress and underwear, the later already strained red from further bleeding.



    <Those aren't Akane's panties!, their MINE!> as Nabiki mentally added the price to Ranma's account.  

Nabiki then proceeded to help Ranma to wash up again, properly this time, after making sure the water wasn't too warm.  

    <Akane, you're just lucky that I wouldn't steal Ranma from you, a little more heat in this water right now, and I really would have him in the palm of my hands, literally! > Nabiki thought as she wondered just how she was going to explain, well, everything Ranma-chan needed to know.



   <Oh baby!  Here we go!> thought to Nabiki as she led Ranma-chan over to the cabinet were the various "feminine" products were kept.  <This is going to be fun, just watching his... er...  her face as I show and explain all this!>



   Nabiki first grabbed a container of  pre-mixed disposable douche, which Ranma-chan vaguely remembers from one of those cryptic TV commercials about that "spring morning fresh feeling" that she couldn't (or didn't want to) quite understand.



   "Wha ....  What's that for?"  A nervous Ranma-chan asked.



   "It is for cleaning you....um....  up inside " Nabiki replied as she proceeded to tell (and demonstrate!) to Ranma exactly what she meant by "inside".  <The look on her face is priceless!> snickered Nabiki.



   Over the next few minutes Nabiki showed and instructed Ranma-chan in all the various items stored inside the cabinet.  Ranma-chan was surprised to find that being female was a lot more "high maintenance" then that she had ever guessed. Finally Nabiki had gotten the two boxes she had saved for last.



   Ranma-chan could not help but notice the strange look in Nabiki's eyes as she sent out the first mysterious box.

  <With that glint in her eyes and the smirk on her face,  I know I'm not goin' ta like this!> Ranma thought as she tried to read the item's name.  <Maxi....  Something... pod's?, no ...>



   Nabiki, after pausing for dramatic effect, slid the box aside and with an almost predatory grin, set down the second box.



   <Tampon?> Ranma-chan pondered the mysterious box.  <Isn't that a city in America? um.....  Famous for it's cigars?>.



   This observation seemed to be confirmed when Nabiki removed a 6 in. long cylinder wrapped in a white paper wrapper.

 

    <I thought they use clear plastic ta wrap cigars?> Wondered Ranma-chan.  <Wait....,  Cigars?  Why would Nabiki show me cigars?>  Ranma-chan eyes went wide with surprise as Nabiki un-wrapped the mysterious object.



   "W -wh-wha-- What is.... t--th-- that!?"  Ranma stuttered out.



   <KAMI!  Ranma!  I know you are naive but even you should know what this is!> as Nabiki got out the enclosed instruction booklet.



   "Ugggh! ......... no, no, NO, NO, NO, NNOO!!"  Ranma-chan yelled out in fear as the meaning of the instructions sunk in.



   "Come on, Ranma-chan, this is all part of it...  You do need to know it, all of it."  Nabiki stated in a no nonsense voice, but the twinkle in her eye gave way her mirth. 



   "B-- b-- but!"  Was Ranma-chan only response.

 

   "Look, Ranma-chan, I know that before you were cursed, you never had to know any of this!  But, now you do!  And it's best that I show you exactly how!  Don't you realize that Kasumi had to do the same thing for me!" demanded Nabiki.  All time she was saying this, Nabiki was slowly approaching Ranma-chan, holding the Tampon in her right hand like a giant hypodermic syringe. 



   Ranma-chan just stood there, her eyes round with fear, frozen, like a deer caught in the headlights.......





   A few minutes later a thoroughly subdued Ranma-chan sat dejected on the bath stool, listening to Nabiki finish her lecture on feminine hygiene.



   "Ranma-chan" Nabiki sudden said, looking directly into her eyes "this part is very serious, I need to talk you about pregnancy"



   "P.... pr-- preg..... preg--na-- na-- nancy!!"  Blurted out Ranma-chan.



   "Ranma, after today this is something you must know about.  Any 'unprotected' girl can get pregnant, any time they, um......,  Do it.., even if it's their first time, whether they're in cycle, out of cycle, just about any time in their cycle...  Well any time!  If they do IT, they can get pregnant!"  Nabiki bluntly said. <What do you call people who use the rhythm method? ... Parents!> 



   "But I can't...!  I wouldn't...,  Not me!" Ranma muttered.



   "Ranma-chan, after today you now could........um" Nabiki stopped, as she realized that a panicky Ranma-chan was ready to bolt from the room.



   "RANMA!"  Nabiki yelled to get her attention, as she decided to try different tact.

 

   "You could be raped. What if one day you get drunk on day, and THEN you change!  You know you what a low tolerance you have as a girl, you'll pass out, or can't defend yourself!  And then they are all those new date rape drugs!  Remember there's a lot of slime out there!  It could happen!"



   "I..  won't..... won't.....  Let it happen!" Responded Ranma-chan.



   "Do you THINK that a Rape victim LETS it happen?!  But it still happens, all the time!  Every day young girls are taking advantage of, assaulted, raped, or worse!  It could happen to anyone" <Even you, Ranma-chan!> Nabiki concluded. 





    After Ranma-chan had sat silently for a moment, she slowly got up and walked over to the tub. Glancing back over her shoulder, she asked Nabiki to leave her alone for a while.



    "I want to take a bath" Ranma-chan said shyly.

 

   <A bath?  You need me to leave?  Don't tell me that you're getting suddenly shy again?>  Nabiki wondered. <Oh! Kami!, how stupid can I be!  She means she wants to change back into a man!> Nabiki silently laughed at her forgetting about THAT .



    "Wait Ranma, before you......  Change.....  There is one last thing to discuss, I think a doctor, a Gynecologist, should check you out."



   "A gynecologist!"  Yelled Ranma-chan. "Only girls have ta go there, I don't need one!  I won't go!, I'm not really a GIRL!" as she completely ignored all the evidence to the contrary.



   "Gynecologist treats both men and women, Ranma. With what happened today, you should really get a checkup, the sooner the better" Nabiki said.

    <No one really likes to visit a GYN, but., with Ranma's curse and all, maybe.. Hmm .. I know! Dr. Toufu!  He's not a GYN, but he is a good doc, at least when Kasumi isn't around, and he's already familiar with Ranma's curse!>



   "How about a compromise, Ranma. Instead of a GYN, you could go see Dr Toufu" Nabiki stated. "We could go right now, he's never busy this time of day."



   "WE?,  What do ya mean by WE?" Ranma-chan demanded.



   "I figured that you may need some moral support" answered Nabiki. <And I wouldn't miss THIS visit for all the gold in Fort Knox!>



*         *        *         *         *         *          *          *          *          *         *          *          *



    Kasumi had been quietly cleaning in the hall outside of the bathroom, not really trying to spy on Nabiki and Ranma, as she told herself, but because the hall really needed it.  Like everything else in the Tendo home it was kept immaculately clean and didn't need the all the attention it was now getting. While really not trying to listen, Kasumi couldn't help but overhear a little of what was being discussed in the bath, something about pregnancy, rape, gynecologist examinations, and visiting Dr Toufu, today!.  Kasumi was starting to worried about Ranma-chan, and more than that, she was now afraid of what just might be wrong with her.  Ever since the Saotome's had come to live at the Tendo home, Ranma had become like a little brother (or sister!) to her. And now she feared that something maybe seriously wrong with her! 



   <Oh My!  Ranma-chan, please let this all be something simple, just a silly misunderstanding!> Kasumi prayed to herself. <It can't be ... That! But he is a girl at times .. Kami!, This is driving me crazy! She could .. I guess, but.... How? Wondered Kasumi. 

   <You KNOW how, Kasumi!> she chided herself, <I just never thought it could happen to HER!  She can't get pregnant, .Can she?>



   Kasumi had retreated to the sanctuary of her kitchen. Just a few minutes later, she heard Nabiki call out from the front hall.

 

   "Kasumi, Ranma and I decided to go shopping, we'll be back by Six." 



    Kasumi watched as Nabiki half-dragged a reluctant, still female Ranma-chan down the street until they were completely out of sight. 

   <They must be going to see Ono>  Kasumi decided.  <Oh! .. That's right!, Ono promised to loan me that book.> she suddenly, VERY conveniently, remembered.  <I guess I could go and pick it up on the way to the market, after all, I am going right past his Office!>



*         *        *         *         *         *          *          *          *          *         *          *          *



   Nabiki sat in a nearby chair as she watched the efficient Dr Ono Toufu examine Ranma-chan, much more thoroughly than Ranma-chan had EVER wanted to be!



   "Ranma-chan, You are a picture of health! I did not find anything physically wrong with you. All young ladies ..."Dr Toufu started to say.



   "I AM NOT A YOUNG LADY!" Interrupted Ranma. "I'm a MAN, no matter what I look like. This is all because of that stupid curse!"



   <After today, you can't claim THAT anymore!> thought Dr Toufu, as he continued.  " The only thing that I find really unusual about this is your age."



   "My age? What's wrong with my age!" Demanded Ranma-chan. 



   "Well, you're 16 and just starting high school, I'm sure you know this isn't suppose to happen to girls your age..." Dr Toufu started, before being again interrupted.



   "Doc, I'm not sure just what IS suppose ta happen, or what age is right ..or much of  ANYTHING." Ranma-chan confessed, with a shrug of her shoulders.



   Dr Toufu thought for a moment before answering. "I'll tell you what, let me go out and catch up on a little paperwork while you get dressed, I have a couple of booklets that may help. We can read them together and then we can have a long talk.



*        *         *         *          *          *         *         *         *          *         *         *        *



   Four years ago, when Dr Ono Toufu had opened his small neighborhood clinic, his practice had consisted mostly of minor colds and flu's, cuts and scrapes, plus the occasional broken bone or sprained joint.  It was a quiet, almost boring life, far from the exciting research or challenging cases he had dreamed of in Med school.  It was also far from his meddling and overbearing mother who still tried to control his life.

   That had all changed a few months back with the arrival of Ranma and his dad. Since that day when Akane first introduced her new fianc�e, his life has been anything but boring.  Fantastic curses, potent unknown Amazon drugs, new medical techniques, plus, with the help of Cologne, the discovery and unlocking of his own hidden ability for Chi manipulation and healing.



   <Case in point> He thought <Ranma Saotome was here, this time while he is in his female form for an examination and consultation....> Ono thought as he wrote the same in Ranma's thick medical file. He continued to write, listing the exam results, plus the advice and recommendations he gave her during their little "talk".



   His writing was disturbed by the ringing his door chime, announcing that someone had entered the clinic.  He looked up, and felt his heart skip a beat as he jumped to his feet and raced across the office to greet his lovely visitor.



   "Ka... Kasumi!  How nice it is to see you!".  He cried out in joy with a foolish grin on his face.



   "Konniichi Wa (good afternoon) Dr. Toufu" Kasumi replied in her soft, reserved voice. "I was hoping to borrow that book you told me about, the one on alternative medicines."



   "Of course! Of course!  Anything for you, my dear Kasumi!" Ono answered, as he, Literally, pranced out of the room. 



    "Betty-chan, she's here!, She talked to me!" Kasumi heard Dr Toufu cry out from the other room, along with the squeak of rusty wheels. 



   <He must be dancing with his skeleton again> Kasumi realized with a smile. Knowing that it would take him a few minutes to even remember the book's name, she slowly looked around the office. 

   She saw that Ranma's records where lying open upon the desktop <How careless of Ono just to leave this out where anyone could read it> Kasumi thought, relieved that she didn't have to search very far for it.

    <I will just kept and eye on this for him> as she quickly found the most current entry.



   Kasumi could feel her heart racing in fear, both of being caught snooping into Ranma's medical records AND of what she might find in them. After scanning past the dry clinical description of Ranma-chan's examination, she found a summary of the results, which included Ono's recommendations, and the advice he had given to Ranma.



   <Let me see., ah here it is!> thought Kasumi as she read the reason for Ranma's visit. She felt as if an immense weight had been lifted from her. <Oh thank you, Kami-Sami!  Ranma-chan isn't pregnant!> But as she read further the full scope of what HAD happen became clear.



   <Oh! My!.>  Was Kasumi's mental gasp.  <Ranma-chan!  She did..., What...? When...! Just this morning?  Oh My!..but that means .. that Ranma could get pregnant?  Wait, what's this? ..  Birth control, Your Female Body?> as Kasumi read about the booklets Ono had supplied to Ranma-chan.



*       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *        *       *        *       *



   Kasumi had finished reading Ranma's file and was now quietly sitting in the waiting room, hoping for Ono's return. <He must be out dancing with Betty-chan in the park, again!> She mused. 

 

   <I should do something to help Ranma, I'm sure this must have been a blow to his masculinity!  But as long as his curse remains, he must learn how to deal with this.> Kasumi continued to think. 



   <Why didn't she tell me?> wondered Kasumi. <Aren't I like a surrogate mother to you, Ranma?> Kasumi felt hurt and letdown. <But maybe that is it, a boy wouldn't take something like this to his mother!> 

    Then Kasumi had to silently laugh at herself. <What am I thinking! What boy ever had this happen to them!, but that is it, isn't it? What boy has to go through the things that Ranma does?>



   <I can't help Ranma, but maybe I can help Ranma-chan?  What she needs is support and understanding to help her deal with this!> Wondered Kasumi.



    Then an idea came to Kasumi. <What about ...?!> as a plan worthy of Nabiki formed in her mind.  <I can get what I need at the market, I'm Shampoo and Ukyou would come, (especially if I tell them that the other is already coming!) and Akane can invite some of the girls from Ranma's class. >  her thoughts continued to plan, as she unconsciously roused and left the clinic, forgetting all about the book.

    Nabiki's excuse of them going shopping was not entirely untrue. After they had finished their visit to Dr Toufu's, she got to witness first hand Ranma-chan's unique method of bargaining, as first she got them free samples of food from all the street vendors, and then a extra scoop of vanilla ice-cream for both of them at the local parlor. After their irregular "lunch", Nabiki then took Ranma-chan shopping for some of the "feminine items" that Ranma was lacking.

 

   Several hours later they finally returned, just before their self imposed 6 o'clock deadline. Upon entering the Tendo home they were greeted by the din of many feminine voices, coming from the dining room. There, around the table, was seated Akane and several other girls that Ranma-chan recognized from her class, along with Soun and Genma, and both Shampoo AND Ukyou! 



   "What's going on?"  A suddenly nervous Ranma-chan asked. 

 

   There was a sudden babble as several girls tried to answer all at once.  The jest of it was that they were all invited over for a "special" dinner and party, in Ranma-chan's honor.



    At first Nabiki was as puzzled as Ranma, as she looked around for Kasumi.  Then she started to get suspicious as she smelled the odor of what Kasumi must be cooking, and finally amused.  < Is this what I think it is?, and just how did Kasumi find out about it?>



   "My.....  honor?"  Question Ranma-chan as she became even more worried when she noticed Nabiki is reaction to the girl's presence.



   "Why yes, Ranma-chan, this dinner is in your honor"  Kasumi answered her as she entered the room from the kitchen, while carrying a tray with several large serving bowls on it.



    "After what happened to you today, I thought we needed to celebrate, and I made a special dish just for the occasion." Kasumi proudly annouced.



   Kasumi set the large covered bowls in the center of the table and with a flourish, removed the lids and announced  "AS TRADITIONAL AT THESE OCCASIONS, I HAVE MADE RED BEANS AND RICE"



   The room was almost completely silent, the only sounds was that of Nabiki quiet laughter, the gasps of surprise, and the thud as Genma keeled over. The silence was finally broken for good as an aged, dwarf like creature, wearing a bra on his head like a pair ear muffs and a bag of women's underwear slung over his shoulders, jumped onto the middle of the table.



   "Ranma my girl" cried out Happosai.  "Congratulations on your first period! I have a special pair panties with extra padding in the crotch just for those days!" He said, holding up a pair of all white panties.



   Then there was a sudden babble of voices as all the girls tried to talk a once. "...He's really is a girl!., ..HE does What?., ... Don't all girls menstruate? ., .can he, I mean she, have kids?... " then the voices of his three finance's were heard rising above the din. 



   "Aerin!, you true woman today! You now be Shampoo Husband And have Amazon child Too, Shampoo be very very happy!" Shampoo cried out in joy!

   

   "!Her first period?!" yelled out Akane <He didn't tell me!  I had to fine out like THIS, I'm his Fiancee! That BAKA!> she Fumed.  "I will never marry a freak like you!  Ranma no Hentai!"



   "Ran-chan, sugar!"  Piped in Ukyou. "Now you are free to marry me!  I will never think of you as a freak!" <Not after all the cross-dressers I normally seem to attract!>



   "My daughter won't marry?" Cried Soun, with tears flowing from his eyes. "The Tendo and Saotome's line must merge!  Nabiki, it is your duty to marry Ranma now.... 

 

   This was interrupted by "NNOOO! NNOOO! NNOOO! NNOOO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!, AAGGH!"  Screamed out by Ranma-chan, as she finally came out of shock and realized that the "secret" she had hoped to keep to her grave, would be by this time tomorrow, known by all of Nerima!



                                                          The End.



Author's note: In Japan, it is traditional to celebrate a young girl's first menstruation as a coming of age ceremony.  A special meal is given in her honor, attended by her family and close female friends.  These meals always include Red Beans and Rice for good luck, fertility, and healthy children.



PS: The timeline is about 4 or 5 months after Ranma's arrival at the Tendo Home. I believe (for THIS story, anyway!) that Ranma's female body doesn't age while he is male, and of course that also means his male body doesn't age while he's female.  Since he is only female about 4 hours a day or so, on average, it would be almost 6 months between "Periods".
