Judging by some of the posts lately, this might not be the best
time to post this... but then again, I've never been one to listen to the
road signs.

WARNING!!! This is the next of the Lemonade Punch series! This
part is a *NON-LEMON* part to get the rest, see the Author's Notes
section at the end. Even though this excerpt has no lemon in it,
some people are offended by even the thought, if you are such a
person, I'm sorry this is not for you... just turn around and
forget you ever saw this! If you're embarrassed to show your mom
this then STOP READING THIS INSTANT!!! If you're embarrassed to
show your mom but can drive and drink(legally, idiot!) then go
ahead and waste your time reading this. Finally, if your head is
equal to or greater in mass than your body and your eyes are larger
than your face in general then you have no choice but to read
this fanfic. Well if you've survived the above(without any
sever brain damage) or have just plain ignored it(in which case
you aren't reading this so I can call you whatever I like, so HA!)
we can move on to the FanFic!
Ranma Lemonade Punch #2: "Hinako's Lesson"
By Paladin
Early in the morning it was a peaceful day at the Tendo
Dojo, the sun shone brightly and the air was clean and cool.
Birds twittered merrily and a gentle breeze blew cherry blossoms
about in a colorful dance...
Then Ranma and Genma woke up.
"HIYA! UNG! KAI! Ranma! You weakling! How do you
expect to carry on the Saotome name with those pathetic attacks!"
"Old fool! I'm just holding back on you're frail, aging
body! Like you could ever give me a challenge!"
"OLD! FRAIL! I'll show you the meaning of discipline
boy!" Genma charged his son who vaulted over his head. Ranma
spun and kicked Genma in the back sending him into the pond.
Panda emerged soaking wet and grumbling. Ranma attacked with a
flying kick which Panda caught. He held Ranma by the head as
Ranma ineffectively punched Panda's thick belly.
Panda grunted, grabbed Ranma by the collar, and tossed
Ranma into the pond. Out came a busty, red-headed Ranma-chan
that was extremely pissed.
*<BASH!!!>*
"Frail, indeed.", said Panda's sign as Ranma-chan smashed
it over Panda's head.
"Ranma! Mr. Saotome! Breakfast is ready!", called Kasumi.
-=-=-
After some hot water, Ranma began wolfing down breakfast.
Kasumi placed his lunch and a gift-wrapped package next to him.
Ranma looked up, mouth still full.
"Huh? What's this? For me?"
"No you idiot! It's for Ms. Hinako!", said Akane. Ranma
seemed to lose interest and turned back to his food.
"Why would anyone want to give *her* a present?!?"
"Because she's a great teacher!"
"If she's so great, why don't *you* give it to her?"
Ranma's apathy was beginning to annoy Akane.
"It's for *you* to give to her because you're failing!"
Ranma responded to Akane's raised volume.
"Why the *HELL* would *I* want to give her a gift if
I'm failing!"
"RANMA NO BAKA!!!" Ranma cringed as he saw the table
go up... but it never came down. <I have got to stay calm if
our plan is to work. Ranma can be so *dense* at times!>, thought
Akane.
"Look. You're failing, right?"
"Duh... everyone knows that."
"But if you really work at it, you could just pass,
right?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
"But you have also been successfully robbing Ms. Hinako
of her ability for the past week or so, right?"
"Yup."
"So if she held that against you, would you still be
able to pass?" There was a silence. Akane smiled as she saw
the look of understanding come across Ranma's face.
"Oh I get it! This is to butter her up!"
"Not sleeping or eating in class helps too."
"Got it. Gee Akane, sorry I yelled. You were just
trying to make sure I passed," he glanced around to make sure
that Soun and Genma weren't around and hugged Akane,"thank you."
"It wasn't just me, Kasumi and Nabiki helped too."
"We wouldn't want you to fail after all.", smiled Kasumi.
"No we wouldn't. That would mean that Ranma would have
to study hard for the entire summer," Nabiki grinned evily as
she drew her fingers lightly across his chest,"and what would we
do with out Ranma for an entire summer..."
"Uh- ahem- yeah- ah- thanks Nabiki... you too Kasumi."
Ranma picked up the box and shook it slightly. "What's in here
anyway?"
"It's perfume.", said Akane.
"Yeah, the type that's expensive enough so that she'll
know it's serious but cheap enough that she'll use it...
regularly.", Nabiki didn't stop her evil grin.
Kasumi mustered as much of a scolding a look as possible,
"Nabiki! It's not right to tell the person how much the gift
costs!"
"Don't sweat it, Kasumi, the present is not for Ranma!
Hey Ranma, just make sure she uses it and doesn't give it away
or something... I put a lot of money into that package!"
"I will... my grade depends on it!" Ranma got up and
picked up his lunch and Hinako's gift,"Come on, Akane, we'll
be late!" Akane began to leave when Kasumi caught her arm.
"Akane, make sure he eats his lunch."
"Of course. No problem, this is Ranma we're talking
about!"
-=-=-
"So Ranma! How was lunch?", Akane cheerfully asked.
"Uh- different. It tasted kinda weird, but good, you
know? I sorta feel like I have a craving for it... or something.
What did Kasumi put in it anyway?"
"In it? Ah- Tendo family secret... can't tell you 'till
we're married!", Ranma smiled and pecked her on the cheek when
no one was looking. He was happy that he and Akane were in love
with each other and mostly getting along but for some reason he
felt the need to keep it a secret. It puzzled him though that
Akane neither encouraged secrecy nor discouraged it... letting
him do all the work.
"That'll be sooner that we know it." Ranma felt the
sudden urge to do more than just give her a peck on the cheek...
<NO! We do that in the privacy of our home not *here*!>
Ranma felt relieved as they approached Miss Hinako's
class. <Akane sits behind me in Hinako's class so I can't see
her... that should keep her out of my mind for a while.>
-=-=-
"HAPPO-5-YEN-SATSU!!!"
Miss Hinako's special technique stopped the hormonal
advances of Kuno from going any further, sucking him dry of his
battle aura and transforming her into her adult form. Kuno
usually didn't hit on Hinako but his luck with his pig-tailed
goddess and Akane Tendo had been worst than normal lately so
he decided to take another crack at Miss Hinako... only to end
up facing the floor.
She glanced at her watch and began running down the
hallways. <Damn delinquents! I'm late for my own class!>
-=-=-
As everyone chattered waiting for Ms. Hinako to arrive
Ranma squirmed uncomfortably at his desk, he had this weird
nagging feeling... he had to keep resisting the urge to turn
around and look at Akane.
He tried to focus on something else but his position
didn't give him much to look at; ever since he was caught eating
in class, Ms. Hinako had moved his seat right in front of her so
that she could keep an eye on him. Ranma was about to lay his
head down on his desk when Ms. Hinako bust in panting.
"Everyone, be quiet, sit down, and books out or it's
detention for all of you delinquents!"
Her sprint in the halls had left her out of breath so
she was breathing heavily. This caused her fleshy front to rise
and fall in magnificent and eye-opening manner. Ranma realized
he was staring and tried to look away but found he couldn't.
He watched her chest slow it's pace and bounce slightly as she
sat down behind her desk.
<Dammit idiot! You're devoted to Akane! ...and
occasionally her sisters but she doesn't mind... Stop this at
once!> Ranma slammed his head into his desk a few times and
was happy to see that the new sensation replaced the old one...
However painful it might have been, his mind was off Ms. Hinako
for the moment. Now, he could learn! He quickly got out his
English book, stood it up on his desk, closed his eyes, and
lay his head behind it.
His few seconds of bliss were promptly interrupted by
a powerful, and very painful, smack in the ear with a yardstick.
"SAOTOME! Wake up! You want yet *another* detention?"
-=-=-
Shortly after whacking Ranma, Ms. Hinako reverted to her
child form and Ranma had no trouble staying awake. Hinako-chan's
high-pitched voice and giggles made it impossible to sleep.
After class, Ranma stayed behind to give Ms. Hinako her
gift, while Akane waited just outside the classroom door.
"Uh, Miss Hinako?", Ranma said, not quite sure what the
protocol for bribing a teacher was.
"Yes, Saotome?"
"This is a gift... for- uh- being such a great teacher
and all that... yeah that's it." He held out the gift-wrapped
box and stared at the floor. Hinako-chan threw her hands up and
gasped.
"For me?!? Oooo!", she squealed and jumped up and down
while shaking the present next to her ear,"What is it?"
"It's- ah- perfume. Go ahead, open it." He watched
as she tore the wrapping into invisible particles and pulled out
a large, rectangular, glass perfume bottle with a dispenser at
the top. A golden liquid swirled and sparkled with in.
<What the hell?!? How'd *that* fit in there?> He shook
his head as he decided it would be better not to think about
it; it must have been the same trick Mousse used to hide all
those weapons or the one Akane uses to hide those giant mallets...
and Ranma didn't really feel like thinking about mallets.
Ranma looked up to see Hinako-chan spray lots of the
perfume on herself then apply gross amounts of makeup to her
face all with in a matter of seconds. She turned around and
struck a pose with her hands on her hips.
"I'm cute, no?"
<Actually she looks more like a clown.> The words
started to form on his lips, when Akane ran in, stepped on
his foot while covering his mouth and said, "Yes, Hinako-
sensi. You're stunning!"
"Yeah, stun a horse with a face covered like- YEAHHAGH!"
Ranma hopped about holding his swollen foot.
"We have to be going now! See you later!" Akane
quickly dragged Ranma out of the classroom.
-=-=-
"Ranma no baka! If you're trying to suck up to her
you don't insult her! You're going to have to connect that
mouth of yours to your brain one of these days!"
Ranma grinned sheepishly while scratching the back
of his head. "I guess sleeping in class doesn't help much
either..." He looked at Akane whose stern look broke into
into giggles and she collapsed in his lap and hugged him
around the neck.
"I'm finding it harder and harder to stay angry with
you, Ranma." She started kissing him on the neck when he took
her off his lap and stood up.
"Baka! I haven't given Ms. Hinako her therapy today!
I have to go back!"
"I'll go with you."
"No, we haven't got the stuff Kasumi wanted us to get
at the market yet. You get the groceries and I'll be back before
dinner."
"Oh, sure, leave me with all the work... is that it,
Ranma?", she sounded annoyed, "...kidding! I understand." She
pecked him on the cheek and left. Akane's behavior scared Ranma.
He could never tell if she was kidding or if she was actually
acting as she used to, he kinda missed the old Akane, this new
one was so- so... *chipper*. Ranma wasn't sure but he thought
she was skipping when she left.

Author's Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well the fanfic is entitled "Hinako's Lesson" so I
wonder what she'll be teaching?... What's the Tendo family
secret(As if you did already know!... Well, you might not if
you haven't read LP#1:"Ranma Fever", if you haven't then go
read it now!)? How did Ms. Hinako suddenly change without
sucking up anyone's battle aura? And what's with Akane?
To answer these questions(hopefully) read the rest of LP#2:
"Hinako's Lesson"!
[Okay, slight problem here... I haven't really
finished it yet so if you do write in I can only give
you a draft copy(but I might not give you anything
at all). I'll repost this excerpt when the entire
thing is complete, then all one has to do is write in
for the rest, but right now I'm still working.]
BTW: Just so you know there are no lemon scenes with
Hinako-chan(Miss Hinako in her child form as I call her) so don't
worry about them(or ask for them!). A few ideas for Lemonade Punch
#3 for you readers to vote on:
Ukyou- A popular character and I've been given a lot
of good ideas.
Ranko- A clone of Ranma-chan's body made by
Hentosai with his personality!
Kasumi- I feel she's under used and besides I've
always liked her.
Sailor Moon- I *can* do other things besides Ranma
you know! Although this story would be a
crossover with Ranma...
Fatal Fury- Mai is definitly willing...
Street Fighter- So I like the video game/fighting
titles... so sue me! Besides, Chun-Li is
single, right?
Gargoyles- Okay, not anime but I've been given
permission to use this half written fanfic
already and I haven't done anything with
it yet so I'm feeling guilty!
Be sure to vote! What Lemonade Punch #3 turns out to be
depends on you! Unless I decide to overide the democratic system
as I did with this fanfic. Which lost to Ukyou but she only won
by one vote so I figured I'd only be disapointing one extra person.
You can vote on more than one just list it in order you would
rank them and if you have any ideas be sure to write those too!
