Take Off Your Clothes 5:
Love in Vain
by Jeff Rutsch
A warning: Unless your reaction to the above was "Yes! Another Take
Off Your Clothes Chapter!", followed by a brief dance of joy, you
probably won't like this story and shouldn't read it. This story is a
little lemon and a little weird. Oh yeah, and it's the last TOYC.
Oh yeah, please don't judge my writing ability as a whole on this
short ^_^
"C'mon Akane...we can be quick."
"Quick? What do you mean?"
"Like just a few minutes. You know, quick."
"That's not what I meant! How can you just...just up and suggest...of
all the nerve...just up and suggest..."
"Oral sex?"
"Yes! Get away from me, you pervert!" Akane was mostly over her
shock and was getting quite angry.
"Akane...please?"
"No!" Akane hit Ranma for all she was worth. Ranma was knocked
unconscious by the force of the blow.
Akane looked down at his body, and talked to herself.
"Even Ranma wouldn't be that much of a jerk. This must be one of
Cologne's spells or something. Why doesn't that witch just leave us
alone?!" She grabbed Ranma by the ponytail.
"Off to Dr. Tofu's for you, you big lug."
**
"So what's this?" asked Dr. Tofu, curiously.
"Ranma just...just all of a sudden asked if we wanted to have...oral
sex." Akane blushed. "It was out of nowhere. I got mad and knocked
him out...but I figured he musta been worked on by that Cologne. You
remember her, she's the one..."
"Yes, I do remember her." said Dr. Tofu, assertively.
"So, do you think it was her?"
"I can't tell, Akane. I've only worked on the bump on his head. You
hit him pretty hard, you know..."
"It's not my fault! He told me I should..." Akane didn't really want
to finish her sentence. Not in front of Dr. Tofu.
"Why not?"
"Huh?"
"Why didn't you?"
"Dr. Tofu!" she sounded shocked.
"He's your fiance..."
"Yeah, so?!" Akane looked angry.
"N...Nothing. Never mind."
"I'm only engaged to Ranma because my parents said so! Remember
that!" said Akane, anger clearly audible in her voice.
"Ok."
Akane couldn't quite tell, but she thought she saw half a smirk
on Dr. Tofu's face as he went back to work on Ranma. After a bit of
testing he again spoke to Akane.
"Well, he should be waking up soon."
"So, what was the problem? Was it some potion?"
"No...actually, I didn't see anything unusual. Maybe it was his own
free will."
"I don't think so."
"Then the other option is it was something with you."
"What?"
"I admit it's unlikely, but it wouldn't be the first time Cologne's
powers worked unexpectedly, from what I hear. Maybe they were trying
to make you repulsive, and instead make you irresistible."
"Maybe."
"Why don't we go in my other room."
"Oh...okay. Why?"
"If something might be wrong with you, I'll have to test for it."
Dr. Tofu led Akane into the other room, locking the door behind him.
**
Dr. Tofu put a plastic cover over the orniscope and peered inside
Akane's facial orifices.
"Say 'aahh' and open your mouth."
"Ahhhh!!!"
"Hmmm...nothing unusual here..." Dr. Tofu went to consult his book.
Akane looked, uncomfortable. What could he be checking for?
Nonchalantly, Dr. Tofu turned to face Akane.
"So when's the last time you had sex with Ranma?"
Akane looked at Dr. Tofu, confused.
"Never, of course!"
"It's no big deal, Akane. Just tell me. I need to know if I'm going
to make any kind of diagnosis. Have you..." Dr. Tofu made a lewd
gesture.
"Nev...Never! What do you take me for?"
"Akane..." Dr. Tofu looked disappointed. "You don't have to lie to
me. You can't get better if I don't know the info. I'm your doctor,
and this information will be kept completely from your parents."
"I..." Akane didn't know how to respond. "Really. Never."
"Never?" asked Dr. Tofu, skeptically. "You're sixteen already. And
engaged."
"Never!" Akane was getting a little angry, although she was still too
shocked to be upset.
"Well...hmmm...when's the last time you masturbated?"
"Doctor!"
"Just tell me." Dr. Tofu's voice was showing signs of both anger and
frustration.
"I never have had sex! I've never masturbated!"
"So you're trying to tell me you've never..."
"I haven't, OK?"
Dr. Tofu clearly looked frustrated. I didn't want to upset him.
But really! I can't understand why he's so surprised that we
never...went any farther!
Maybe it's because we're engaged. Then again, he also said that
I was 16. Like that was evidence, or something.
Dr. Tofu put on tight rubber gloves, snapping them against his
skin.
"Take off your clothes", he commanded. I obeyed, unthinking.
But I couldn't get the thought out of my mind. Were all my friends
having sex?
I knew a few of them were. I mean, not my best friends, but I
had heard, and overheard, other girls talking about it.
But not my best friends, like Yokho, could she? I didn't think so.
But then I thought about John, and those vacations she had together.
Camping, and road trips, and the like. Come to think of it, she had
sort of implied that they were sharing a room. That didn't
necessarily mean anything, I guess. But in light of what Dr. Tofu had
said, maybe it did.
I look down, and Ranma has his face at my crotch. I can't help
but think of what it's like for Ranma. Half the time he's as female
as I am...even more so, perhaps. I don't think I could ever pleasure
another female. I haven't really thought about it, I guess. I mean,
not that I wouldn't know what to do, but that I have a
certain...repulsion, sexually, to the female body. Why? Social
pressure? Perhaps I should feel guilty, but despite myself I don't
really care.
Is it the same for Ranma? I guess not. He doesn't consider
himself female, and that's probably where the social pressure comes
from...genders of the same sex, doing...unmentionable acts.
Almost as if to answer my thoughts, Ranma-chan appears to suck my left
breast. While there's certainly pleasure involved, it's a mixed
pleasure, coming from the knowledge that I'm doing something wrong.
However...perhaps it's the *thrill* of doing something wrong. If I
knew I would be found out, would I let her continue? I don't know,
but I think so.
Ranma backs off. I can't blame him; I'm surprised he didn't
drown. We change positions, now it's his turn.
Maybe it sounds silly, but I've gotten to the point where I
hate myself for not telling Ranma how I feel. I mean...what if he was
to leave me? For Ukyou, or Shampoo, or somebody? I don't know,
really...I suppose I'd die an old maid. I saw this movie the other
day..."Princess Bride." OK, it was just a kid's movie, but it really
struck me. Stuff like "only one couple in a century gets a chance at
true love." Is that what Ranma and I have? It's weird. I mean we
always yell at each other, so maybe we don't yet, but we have...the
potential to have some special. And I really don't think anybody else
I know has a true love. Even the couples you see that seem to love
each other so much. Well, maybe they do love each other
but...something seems false. Like one or the other is compromising
their ideals, their personalities. That's not love, that's one person
having a fantasy, the other person fulfilling the fantasy. What is it
that Kunou said the other day? Something like "Let me not to the
marriage of true minds admit impediments. Love is not love which
alters when it alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove:
O no, it is an ever-fixed mark, that looks on the tempests, and is
never shaken; it is the star to every wandering bark, whose worth's
unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not time's fool, though
rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come; love
alters not with his brief hours and weeks, but bears it out even to
the edge of doom." Did Ranma and I have that? I hope I don't sound
pretentious when I say "yes."
I couldn't quite swallow it all.
**
The End!
No more Take Off Your Clothes stories!
I really think I should have ended on #1, or made the others part of a
different series.
But I didn't.
Ha Ha.
I'd appreciate all comments. Flaming is pointless, because I already
warned you at the beginning ^_^.
I know I'll be asked for an explanation of the whole series, so I'm
currently thinking of one.

By this time, you should already have gotten the first e-mail from the
digested version of this list. I was asked to do this to reduce load on
the mail server here.
The settings will require some playing with before it works exactly
right, so expect some unusual message sizes in the future.
Hmm... I'm sorry you were required to do this, because it seems to
me like putting this list on a digest format is a really bad idea. Unlike
most other MLs, the posts on this list can be very large, and not every
message would be of interest to everyone immediately.
Sending all the traffic on the list in digest form would make it
hard to search through subjects, selectively delete messages without reading
them, and reply to individual messages. I think it would cause a lot of
problems to users on the list, and I hope there's a better alternative
available that would still reduce the load on the mail server.

Hi!
Can I say that the digest version SUCKS? It's pure hell having
to flip pages until I reach the messages I want to read, and if the
stories are long I have much more flipping to do.
This is not fun! :(

Had some time today, so here's some "better late than never" last minute
remarks on Careful Destiny 1:
Would Nodoka remark on Ranma not wearing the school uniform?
"Who are you, sniveling underling, to be addressing the

Kuno would probably say something like commoner, since he doesn't
have any sort of relationship as a superior to Ranma (besides sempai).

"Ranko, humor me for
a moment please. I know this question's coming out of left
field, but I need it answered concisely. Please tell me
about my life," he said, almost pleading.
"What? Are you on drugs, Ranma? Just what the hell
^^^^^
Here's where you want to use concussion, I think; Ranko would most likely
wonder if Kuno's attack caused this weird behavior. Ranma's also speaking
a bit formally, with a bit too big a vocabulary above.... Drop "but ...
concisely" ??? Ranko's reply is also too focused on what Ranma is really
interested in; perhaps have Ranma ask to focus on him and martial arts?
Maybe after Ranko goes into the wrong sorts of details?

all those combat movies," he said, smiling weakly.
^^^^^^
How about kung fu, chop socky, or martial arts movies? Combat is awefully
generic (or maybe the TV series of the same name made an impression on me).
While you're not required to describe it, Ranko would have Ranma stretch before
the lesson (pretty much all my sports injuries have been from not limbering
up first).
His look hardened. "I'm going to
practice martial arts anyway. I'd prefer to do it here."
^^^^^^
"somewhere" would be a bit less confrontational towards this Mom
who he's currently adoring.
By the seventh day, he was actually capable of
launching offensive moves at her. Ranko was appreciating
"actually" is awefully awkward, and you had Ranma attack Ranko from the
first session; how about "serious offensive moves" ?
"KACHUU TENSHIN AMAGURIKEN!" Ranko watched in utter
amazement as her `weakling' brother landed 479 punches in
under 2 minutes. The practice dummy was so much dust when
That's around 4-5 a second; even with RSI,
*I* can nearly do that.
I'd guess the rate ought to be at least 20/second; 10 or 20 seconds
would be better, and would sound a lot more impressive.
Wow, what a way to work off depression! Now I only have one
I preferred the original technique you used instead of SHI SHI HOUKODAN;
not only is it significantly different than MOUKO TAKABISHA (and therefore
less repeatative, it's a signature Ranma attack.... If you want to stay
with SHI SHI..., you might put in a bit about him imagining Akane with Kuno
(it works for Ryouga ...).
in a lightning fast array of hand movements, shouting,
"MOUKO TAKABISHA!" A ball of chi-energy launched from his
Is MOUKO TAKABISHA this complicated? It didn't seem so in the 2nd
(non-canon) movie. I always prefered the Dragonball-esque raise your
hand and blast the enemy.... (Just about everyone but Goku did it that
way).
Besides, impossible as it seemed, it was the only way
to explain how he could've learned all of those intricate
fighting forms.
"Only way" doesn't strike me right; I doubt Ranko would consider herself
omniscient after hearing this story.... How about "plausably explained"?
Or "couldn't imagine another explaination" ?
"You refused to learn the Saotome School
of Anything Goes Martial Arts when you refused to go on that
trip. And now I see that you've gone out and learned it
from someone else!
How has Genma guessed that Ranma leaned the Saotome School
of Anything Goes Martial Arts rather than generic martial arts
from one simple attack and dodge? A block might clue him into
kempo, but it would really take an several move exchange to show
off something distinctive in their family school.
Nodoka's eyes widened. Ranko may have had reason to
lie to her about Ranma's abilities, but she doubted that
Ranko was lying to her.
You ought not use lie twice in the same sentance.
It's almost time for the shift
change at the wok factory. Have a good evening sir.
Woks are awefully down market for Japan to be producding at this
time; you could just leave it as "at the factory". Then again,
Takahashi's Japan is a nostalgia trip.
She then pushed herself away from her mother
when she yelled. She then watched with a mixture of
Using "then" twice is repeatative; why not drop the first use?
"Kasumi," she answered, bowing slightly.
"Thank you, Kasumi." He turned and ran in the
direction of the dojo, leaving Kasumi at the door.
"Oh, my. What a nice young man," Kasumi commented as
I know "Oh, my" has become a fanfic cliche, but wouldn't she just
say "My, what a nice young man," ?
she slid the door closed.

Ranma approached the dojo cautiously. Once at the

Anything Goes." Seeing Soun blanch, he nodded, "Yup, that's
right. I got my training from Happosa...mfff!"
Soun dashed over to Ranma, and in an imitation of
Genma's reaction, whipped his hand over Ranma's mouth.
Soun would have to leap to get there that fast.
`What if she doesn't like me? I'd hate to be
chasing after her, only to find out that I'm not wanted.'
He's feel a lot more that the dissapointment of losing out on a
chase.... He'd be devestated beyond words; how about `What if she
doesn't like me? I could not bear finding out that I'm not wanted.' ?
Ranma placed a hand against his aching ribs. He had no
idea his sister was so strong! "Don't get upset Mom! No
After their training, I think he'd have an idea; perhaps something about
having a new appreciation of her strength?
He laughed at that. Ranko suddenly felt something
pressing against her stomach, and realizing what it was,
turned red again. "RANMA! Put some clothes on, for
chrissakes!" she yelled, turning away from him, blushing
scarlet.
You really do want to tease the hentais in your audience, don't you? :-)
If you want to provide another side story "departure point", you could
manuever Ranko's head into Ranma's lap for one of their discussions....
You could give him a "she's my sister!" epiphany to get things back
on an even keel in your version.
This keeps getting better and better.
I just took a peek at the end of chapter 2; you do have many tortures
planned for our hero, don't you? ^_^ Quick note for this chapter; would
the old Ranma/Ranko relationship be such that he'd confide in her
the extent of his relationship with Kinuko?
