I've never seen Kodachi do more than try to kiss him... Where did this

for Kodachi there.

I think so too....although Kodachi is at times worse to deal with than
Shampoo....

   Now that you mention it, as time progesses Kodachi does become the least 
trouble to Ranma of all his suitors, if only because she doesn't show up 
very often. (_And_ she actually figures out that Ranma doesn't want her. 
Would that her brother were more perceptive.)
   Trust me though--when Lady Kuno goes a-courting she's far more aggressive 
about it than Shampoo--unless you don't consider paralyzing someone and 
attempting to force oneself on him sexually (What, you thought Kodachi 
would stop with kissing? On that rooftop she seemed a bit too--umm--agitated 
to be only thinking of kissing. Thank God Akane showed up.), and/or taking 
pictures of the proceedings for posterity and possible distribution to all 
and sundry (hence my accusation of shamelessness), all without the other 
party's consent, to be aggressive acts.

    

positive obsession with getting Ranma, whether to satisfy her honor or 
whatever her reason, I find more than a little disturbing.)

hey! Don't put down Ucchan!

   I don't like to--I like Ukyo--but I'm afraid I do find her behavior a 
bit distrubing. Of all the suitors I fear she's the most likely to come 
to a bad end. I wouldn't rule out seppuku. Kodachi was never engaged to 
him at all, so she'd sob for a few weeks, then be her crazy self again. 
Shampoo is a child, and children are rarey sad for long. She'll get over 
Ranma too, if Cologne lets her. Ukyo's whole life, on the other hand, has 
been defined by the shame she suffered at Genma's hands. She might, if Ranma 
finally does bite the bullet and marry Akane (of his own free will this 
time), to restore her honor feel compelled to:
   live as a man again forever;
   finish the job of revenge against Genma and Ranma--that is, do away 
with one or both of them;
   do away with Akane to force the issue on Ranma (which she tried at the 
abortive wedding); or
   do away with herself (commit seppuku).
   I'm not sure she could go back to being a man. She might try killing 
Genma; I don't think she could hurt Ranma. That leaves her, in an attempt 
to restore her honor, killing Akane and/or herself. I suspect it would 
most likely be herself. Akane can't die. She's the leading lady in our piece.

   Physically affectionate? Definitely. Small children are...all that 
cuddling may be completely innocent.

Simple cuddling I could handle, but actually pouncing on him and refusing to
be moved by anything less than a tow truck?

   Okay. Fine. All that pouncing on him and refusing to be moved by anything 
less than a tow truck may well be completely innocent. It's extreme, true. 
But it's innocent just the same.

So... All Shampoo lovers are into pedophilia?

No...more like the people who like Miss Hinako's little-girl form ;) The
Shampoo lovers are just..well...I don't want to make that many enemies at
once, so I'll not say it...
  Kendra: Good plan...

   Go on. Say it. You'll feel much better. :)

   But this has nothing to do with fan fiction. I move that this discussion 
be moved to the Ranma ML.

I'm not on the Ranma ML as I can't take all that mail.

Me neither, and Don't try to take another "discussion" away from us!

   Okay, okay...
