        WARNING!!!  This is the third story of the Lemonade Punch series!
        Wow!  I actually finished!  Anyway, you shouldn't read this kind
        of hentai stuff unless you, yourself are hentai and are allowed by
        your wondrous government to do so.  This is a Ranma *LEMON* so
        beware!  I normally blab on and on in this section with the purpose
        of filling up a page but I won't do that this time....  Nope.  I
        won't do it all... wouldn't want to waste your precious time and
        lives on pointless drivel, would I?  A bit more seriously, though,
        this lemon takes a bit of patience and understanding... you might
        have to re-read a few sections to see how they connect.  Oh yeah,
        one last note: 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) 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!
                         
        
        Legal stuff: All characters re- Bah!  Like anyone really cares....



                     Lemonade Punch #3: "Help me with a title!"

                                                by Paladin


                Under the bright full moon, the Tendo Dojo was a picture
        of serenity.  It was the hour of night that all was still and quiet.  
        Not even the crickets chirped at this hour of night.  This was the
        time of night that was never disturbed by anything, because all
        things, even things of the night, rested at this hour....
                "Raaaannnmaaaa!!!  You get back here, we're not done!"
                Ranma scrambled down the hallway pulling up his boxers
        while trying not to trip.  Glancing behind him for any signs of
        pursuit he nearly fell down the stairs.  Ranma's heart pounded
        and he breathed heavily as he rounded a corner then plastered 
        himself against the wall.
                "Ran-Ma", Nabiki sung, "where are you?"  She walked into
        the room passing underneath Ranma, who was sticking above the 
        door frame, and looked about.  Ranma dropped silently to the floor 
        and dashed for the door.  Nabiki spun around, "Hey!"
                Bolting back up the stairs, Ranma stopped mid-way seeing
        a half-naked, cheerfully smiling Kasumi at the top.  He turned and 
        found Nabiki at the bottom grinning like a jackal.  Ranma looked
        back and forth between the two a few times then vaulted over the
        banister to the floor below.
                Wasting no time to open it, Ranma ran through the paper
        door out into the Tendo Dojo garden.  Out in the garden Ranma
        encountered a series of man-traps, presumably for him.  Out of
        sheer panic, Ranma managed to dodge the gauntlet of traps,
        getting to the front gate.  Ranma bent over panting, he had to 
        give Nabiki credit... when it came to-
                "What the-!"
                *<creeeessSSCRRASH!!!>*
                *<THUD>*  "Ungh!"
                *<phssst>*  "Aaaaahhh!"
                *<boing boing boing>*
                "Tiger pit trap in combo with a snare trap at the finish
        line... clever.", grumbled Ranma as he rubbed the bump on his
        head.  "Hey, let me down!  All the blood's running to my head
        and my ankle's swelling up!"
                Nabiki grinned thoughtfully for a moment and then began
        to saw at the rope with a kitchen knife, "Only if you promise to
        stay put- Hey!"  Ranma bent at the waist, grabbed the knife, and
        cut himself down.  He landed on his feet and jumped out of the
        pit trap.
                "Hah!  I ain't promising nothin- OOF!  Akane?!?"  Akane
        tackled Ranma to the ground then knelt on his chest.  From his
        position, Ranma could almost see up Akane's small nightie.
                "I'm sorry, Ranma, but they *are* my sisters."  With that
        she gave him a warm smile and pulled her nightie over her head,
        exposing her beautiful naked form.  Out of the corner of his eye, 
        Ranma could see Kasumi beginning to undress.  Akane smothered his 
        face with kisses as the already bare Nabiki approached.
                "No!  No please!  No, not *AGAIN*!", Ranma pleaded as
        they pulled off his boxers.
                "No!  I can't- anymore- too tired-!", he was frantically
        stuttering.
                "NOOOOOOO!!!!!!", he yelled once more before he was buried
        beneath a pile of female Tendo flesh....
                                        -=-=-
                "Honneey, I'm home!"
                "Yay!  Daddy's home!"  The seven year old girl leapt into
        her father's arms.  The man hefted her into the air and laughed.
        Ukyou looked on with affection as she cradled a sleeping infant
        and put the baby in her crib.
                "Ahhh, ahhh, me too Daddy!  Me too!"  Cried the five year
        old boy reaching up and tugging at his father's pant leg.
                "Okay, you too, sport.", grinned the happy man as he
        scooped up the boy and held him under the other arm.  Then he spun, 
        causing the young boy and girl to shriek in delight.
                "Hey Dad, look at the 'A' I got in school today!" said his
        teen-aged son.  The man stopped spinning a moment, glanced at the
        paper approvingly, and quickly patting his eldest son on the back
        nearly dropping the girl but quickly catching her causing even
        more giggles.
                "Good job!  Keep it up, Son."
                "Daddy faster!!!", he was just about to comply when Ukyou
        interrupted.
                "Ranma-honey, don't get them too excited, it'll spoil their
        dinner and they might wake the baby."
                "Of course, darling."  He put down the youngsters who
        collapsed onto the floor dizzy and out of breath from laughter.
        Ranma leaned over and kissed Ukyou on the forehead.
                "How was -Genma go set the table- work today?"
                "Oh, the usual... some of the students are preparing for
        their next technique but everything else is pretty normal.  What
        about you?"
                "I have a new flavor of okonomiyaki to test, we'll all be
        having it for dinner tonight.  You must tell me what you think."
                "Okonomiyaki again?  Yay!!!  I love okonomiyaki!  It's
        my favorite and Mom's is the best in the whole entire world!"  The
        whole family sat down to eat, the children lined up by age.  The
        two middle children bore a remarkable resemblance to Ranma in
        both his forms while the eldest son looked almost exactly like his
        mother.  The baby was too young to look like anyone, but she had
        her mother's eyes.
                "Now, let's all-"
                *<SPLASH>*
                "Oh, Genma, you naughty boy!"
                "It's okay, it's just water.", said an uncursed Ranma.
                "I told you that they'd get excited." Ukyou scolded.
                "It's okay, it's okay... just don't spill again, all right?"
                "Okay Daddy."  Ukyou looked at the scene before her then
        tears began to well up in her eyes.
                "Look!  Mommy's crying!"
                "Mommy, I'm sorry, I won't spill again!", Little Genma
        cried.
                "It's not your fault Son... Ukyou, what's wrong." said a
        concerned Ranma.
                "Nothing.  Absolutely nothing, everything is just perfect.
        These are tears of joy, I'm so happy!  I love you all!"
                "We love you too Mom.", said the oldest son.
                "And I'll always love you," then whispering, "...perhaps
        we can fool around a little tonight!"  His whisper did not escape 
        the ears of his eavesdropping children.
                "Yuck mushy stuff!"
                "Oooh, Daddy and Mommy gonna go smoochy smoochy! Heeheehee!"
                Ukyou laughed at the reaction of her children as she
        wiped her tears.
                Suddenly... a there was a knock at the door.
                                        -=-=-
                "AAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
                Ranma bolted upright in bed, sweating and breathing heavily.
        <Whew, only a dream....>  Although it was a dream, it wasn't far
        from reality... Ranma had been virtually raped by the two elder 
        Tendo sisters for the past few weeks... repeatedly.  And now, when
        they finally allowed him to sleep alone, they haunted and attacked
        him in his dreams.  He hadn't been able to get a full nights worth
        of good sleep for weeks now because he always had one or more
        active bed partners: Nabiki, Kasumi, and/or Miss Hinako... it was 
        driving him to insanity and exhaustion.
                <At least I don't have to *do* Akane....>  Akane was slowly
        getting back to her old self after withdrawing from the use of the
        Passion Fever Dust but it was hard.  Ranma and Akane decided that
        sex would only complicate their relationship, so they would try to
        abstain from each other... yet Ranma could, and would have to,
        continue to make love to the Dust junkies.
                Ranma found it ironic that the one he loved and wanted 
        to make love to was the one he couldn't do it with, while he had 
        hordes of other women that he had to please.  It wasn't as if Ranma, 
        as a martial artist, couldn't escape the advances of Nabiki, Kasumi, 
        or Miss Hinako, it was their reputations he was worried about.  If
        they didn't use him for sex, who would they go to?  They would 
        become the town whores if he didn't keep them in check.
                Even with all that he learned from Miss Hinako, he could
        take only so much.  He had to match them each up with somebody else.
        Kasumi would go to Tofu, obviously, but how would he react to this
        slut who acted nothing like the original, innocent Kasumi?   Ranma
        had no idea who to match the other two with either.  But time was
        running out.   Even if he could hold out longer, the girls were
        beginning to become tired of him, dispite the tricks he had learned.
                He had to get help.  He couldn't as Akane for help in her
        fragile state-of-mind.  He couldn't ask Tofu who would ask for a
        full explanation.  No way in the world would he ask Mr. Tendo or
        his father.  Who did that leave?  Well, whoever he went to, he 
        needed their help soon and fast.
                                        -=-=-
                Ukyou froze in terror at the sound of the knock.
                "I'll get it."  Ranma got up out of his seat and headed
        towards the door.
                <No!  This isn't right!>
                "Honey, please don't get it!", Ukyou said nervously.
                *<knock,knock,knock>*
                "What?  Oh it's no problem, I'm already up."  He continued
        forwards.
                "Ranma-honey!  Don't answer it!!!", she pleaded.
                *<Knock,Knock,Knock>*
                "Uchan, they're already at the door, it's rude to ignore
        them."
                "I'm not expecting anyone, don't open it!!!", she cried,
        almost yelling.
                *<KNOCK,KNOCK,KNOCK>*
                "Really, you're silly.  I'm a martial artist, if they're
        here to cause trouble, I'll turn them away!"  He reached for the
        doorknob.
                "RANMA!  DON'T-"  He opened it....
                "Oh... hi Akane."
                                        -=-=-
                Ukyou looked at the hard-faced, man-like Akane, standing
        at the door dressed in a gi.  She felt her entire universe begin
        to collapse around her.
                "Get out of my home!", she yelled as she charged Akane
        with her giant spatula.  The Akane-kun blocked the overhead blow 
        with its forearm then proceeded to crush the huge metal utensil 
        with one hand.  Ukyou attempted a flying attack but was swatted 
        across the room with a simple backhand slap from the Akane-kun.  
        It laughed evily as Ukyou struggled to get up.  She wiped the blood
        from the side of her mouth and pointed.
                "You!  What are you doing here?  What do you want!?!"
                "I'm here to take Ranma's heart from you, of course!"
                "How could an ugly tomboy, *it* like you steal his love!"
                "Ha ha ha ha!  I'm not the tomboy!  Look!" The monster
        pointed towards Ukyou's chest.  Any trace of breasts had disappeared.
        <They must be bound!>  She tore the front of her blouse open only
        to see a boy's chest.  Looking up in horror, she was stunned even
        further.  Akane now had an extremely feminine form, she had more 
        curves than any super model could hope for, and had her arms around
        Ranma's neck.  Ranma's arms were about Akane's waist and the two
        were locked in a passionate kiss.
                                        -=-=-
                "Honneey, I'm home!"
                "Oh, darling!  You're home early!"
                "Well my last two check-ups canceled so, here I am!"
                "Oh, oh, let me get you're coat... sit down, sit down,
        dinner is already prepared, piping hot."
                "Hmm, looks delicious."
                "It's all Italian.  Spagetti and tomato sauce, breadsticks,
        garlic bread, Caesar salad, lasagna-"
                "Yes, yes, it's all wonderful... but I don't see how the
        two of us can possibly finish all this food."
                "Oh, we'll save the leftovers for Mr. Saotome and Ranma,
        they will finish nearly anything.  Eat, eat."  Kasumi waved her
        hand, gesturing toward the heaping plate of pasta in front of him.
        Tofu looked at it, grinned, then begun to dig in.
                "Mmm, this is great.  Uh, aren't you going to have som-..."
        Tofu's next fork-full missed his mouth entirely, hitting his chin,
        and falling into his lap.  He didn't even notice.  Instead, he
        watched as his beautiful wife, Kasumi, ate a breadstick.
                For some reason, Kasumi's dress was hanging off her shoulders 
        showing ample cleavage.  Her face glistened with sweat and her face
        was in an erotic, pouty expression.  Her left hand was underneath
        the table doing something rather obvious while in her right, she 
        held the breadstick.
                Nibbling on the end, Kasumi continued to stare passionately
        into the eyes of an awe-struck Tofu.  She then began sliding it
        smoothly in and out of her mouth obscenely.  Tofu was getting very 
        excited.  Kasumi took it out, pointed it straight up and licked
        its length slowly.  Still transfixed by the scene, Tofu watched
        as Kasumi then turned it upside down, pointing it down.  She gave
        him a questioning look, and he nodded numbly.  Kasumi brought the
        breadstick under then table then slowly-
                Tofu shook his head and looked up.  Before him was perfect,
        prim, and proper Kasumi picking sparingly with chopsticks at her
        salad.  <Huh?>  Kasumi looked up at him with a concerned look on
        her face.
                "Tofu-love, what's the matter?  You seem tense....  Okay,
        I know what to do."  She got out of her seat, walked behind him,
        and began to administer a shoulder rub.  Tofu sighed and sat back
        in his seat to enjoy it.  Kasumi's hands then began to work their
        way down his sides to his legs and finally to his feet.  Tofu
        swung his legs around so that she could better massage his feet.
        Her hand's worked magic as they relieved tension by striking
        therapeutic pressure points.
                "Oh Kasumi, that's wonderful *<sigh>* but you don't have to-"
        <Eeep!>  Again, Tofu was greeted by another shocking image.  Looking
        down, Tofu found Kasumi at his feet... or more precisely, between his
        (now naked) thighs.  A completely nude Kasumi was desperately taking
        his erect manhood into her mouth repeatedly.  This was too much
        for the poor doctor.
                "Ohhh, ohhh, Kasumi- darling- I-I feel- it- coming.... I-"
                                        -=-=-
                "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
                Ukyou bolted upright in bed, sweating and breathing heavily.
        <My God!  What a nightmare!>  She immediately looked down and felt
        for her breasts and breathed slightly easier when she found them
        intact.  After she had calmed down a bit, she examined the meaning
        of her dream.
                Akane's masculinity was her advantage while Ukyou's was her
        disadvantage.  She would have to appear softer, more feminine to
        try to appeal to Ranma.  Ranma was constantly assaulted by violent
        women, but it was the gentle touch that would win his heart... it
        had to be, Ukyou was sure of it.
                She would have to do it soon too.  This dream was the second 
        sign to tell her this.  Earlier in the month she could have sworn 
        she saw Ranma and Akane holding hands, but when she took a second 
        look, Ranma's hands were in his pockets and Akane was digging for 
        something in her bookbag.  Another time she thought she saw them hug 
        but on second look they weren't facing each other and were looking 
        up at the sky or down at the ground.  Ukyou decided it was all 
        paranoia, later, when she thought she saw Ms. Hinako pinch Ranma in 
        the butt... teachers didn't do that!  But now she saw it as visions 
        of things to come if she didn't act now.  She made the decision...
        tomorrow, she would begin her move on Ranma.
                                        -=-=-
                "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
                Dr. Tofu bolted upright on his futon, sweating and breathing
        heavily.  He sat there a moment, panting, then looked with disgust
        at the sticky, white mess in his palm.  He wiped it off on a sheet
        and cursed silently to himself.  For years, he had been dreaming
        of marrying Kasumi.  He longed for her companionship and conversation
        day and night.  He would go mad at the sight of her or even the
        mention of her name.  But now, those dreams were being shattered.
        How could a sweet, innocent, beautiful flower like Kasumi ever love
        a disgusting pervert like himself?
                He didn't understand it.  Up until recently, his dreams for
        himself and Kasumi had been as pure as snow.  A family, a home, a
        steady income... he had not wished for much.  But lately, all his 
        fantasies were downright pornographic.  Tofu hadn't had dreams even 
        mildly stimulating since his high-school years!  Now all his nights
        were being interrupted by wet-dreams... or nightmares, as he saw it 
        now.  He hated himself for being such a pervert.
                She knew too.  Kasumi could somehow sense his dark secret.
        Her purity naturally had an aversion to evil... that's why she
        hadn't visited him in nearly a month.  It had to be... it was the
        only logical reason.  These kind of secrets always came out into 
        the open if hidden long enough.   Tofu had to do something... he 
        had to cure his perversion or lose beautiful, perfect, and pure 
        Kasumi.
                                        -=-=-
                "Mmm, feminine, feminine... Grrargh!!!", Ukyou slammed her
        closet shut in frustration.  After years of pretending to be a boy,
        she didn't have many "feminine" items of clothing or manners... she
        wasn't even sure what "feminine" was anymore.
                "Argh... what do girls wear, they wear dresses, skirts,
        makeup... uh, panties, bras, garter-belts, and stockings-", she
        blushed at her line of thought then grew more frustrated when she
        realized she didn't own any of those items.
                "Ah, who cares what girls wear!  I should care what guys,
        Ranma specifically, *want* girls to wear...."  Ukyou drew from her
        experience, listening to "guy talk" as they "scoped babes" as a
        fellow "guy" in disguise.
                Ukyou thought about it a bit a realized that guys didn't
        want girls to wear anything!  But when they did admire a girl's
        attire, it was when there was less of it... or when it was tight...
        or when it was small and tight.
                "He wants small and tight, I'll give him small and tight!"
        Searching her closet with new hope and inspiration, Ukyou came across
        a white shirt, a boy's uniform.  Ukyou stripped, then tried to put
        the shirt on... it wouldn't button, but she was able to tie the
        shirt tails together to make it hold.
                "Hmm, needs 'less'...", Ukyou ripped the sleeves off the
        shirt and put it back on her bare top.  The outline of her nipples
        showed through the white fabric.  She had always bound her breasts
        so she never needed a bra, thus never bought one.  With her chest 
        bound, she might have fitted the shirt just fine, but with her
        expansive breasts free, the shirt was constricting, small, revealing,
        and tight... it was perfect.
                Now for a bottom.  "Dress pants, dress pants, dress shorts,
        dress pants, dress shorts... doesn't seem to be much else.", Ukyou
        mumbled to herself.  She again decided to improvise.  Taking a pair
        of dress shorts she estimated where the girls' gym shorts would end, 
        then went a few inches higher, and ripped the legs off the shorts.
                Trying them on, without any panties (she didn't own any...
        she did own boxers, but those would be larger than the modified
        shorts), she checked herself in the mirror and smiled.  She was
        revealing way too much, she was nearly revealing her entire bottom
        and what the top covered, was transparent.  <Well, anything to get 
        Ranma, right?>  Ukyou was happy with herself... how could Ranma 
        possibly resist?
                                        -=-=-
                "COME BACK HERE YOU PERVERT!!!"
                The dripping wet woman, wrapped in a towel, threw various 
        appliances and large objects at the scared boy.
                "Please!  I'm sorry, I'm just looking for Furin- OOF!!", said
        Ryouga as the toaster nailed him in the stomach.  That gave the
        furious woman time to rush up and repeatedly beat Ryouga.
                "...teach you!  ...Peep on me will you?!?...  Break into my
        home?!?"  Ryouga began to lose consciousness from the blood running
        out of his nose (he was surprised he didn't already black out from
        that) and the serious thrashing this half-naked woman was giving him.
                <Curse, you Ranma!  I'll make you pay for my suffering!!!>
        His last thoughts were of how Ranma had driven him from Akane.
                                        ...
                "Good-bye my little P-chan!", cried Akane, while sniffling.
                "Akane, it's for the better, trust me...", Ranma said
        soothingly.  P-chan glared at him a squealed madly.
                "I trust you... good-bye P-chan, be a good little pig, OK?"
        said Akane.  She petted him on the head and scratched his chin one
        last time then allowed Ranma to take him out he front door.  Once
        the gate shut, Ranma held the struggling piglet to his face and
        addressed it.
                "Listen up, pork-breath.  I'll honor our agreement, I won't
        tell Akane who you are, so she won't think any worse of you... but
        I love her and she loves me, so she won't be thinking any higher of
        you, P-chan or Ryouga!", P-chan struggled to rip Ranma's face off,
        "Now I could banish you... with your sense of direction I wouldn't
        have to enforce that kind of exile... but you have as much right to
        live here as I do so I'll let you stay..."
                After his little speech, Ranma covered P-chan's eyes with
        his bandera and after a minute or two let him go.  By the time
        P-chan got the bandera off his eyes, Ranma was long gone.  P-chan
        looked about.
                <Hey, this is the back of the Tendo Dojo!  All I've gotta
        do is sneak around to the front entrance and I'm back in!>  And thus
        P-chan started on his journey....
                                        ...
                <I'll make him pay!!!>  He would get back Akane too.  <Mind
        control, mind control, it must be some sort of evil mind control
        Ranma's using!  Well he better get ready!  I'm coming for him!!!!>
                And he would too... as soon as he regained consciousness.
                                        -=-=-
                "So there's nothing you can do?"  Ranma sounded desperate,
        while Dr. Tofu began to get slightly annoyed.
                "Ranma, you have to understand that I'm very busy... this
        just isn't one of my priorities.  What are you doing with this
        kind of stuff anyway?  It could be very dangerous in the wrong
        hands."
                "But I *need* an antidote!"
                "Why?  Do you intend to use it on someone?!?  Has someone
        been already affected by this Passion Dust?", he grabbed Ranma by
        the shoulders and shook him, "You must tell me if you want me to
        help!"  Ranma stared at the floor, biting his lip.
                "I can't say... please!  Won't you help me?"
                "Ranma, as a doctor, of course I'll help you.  As a friend,
        though, I'm disappointed and hurt that you can't trust me with this.
        I can help you better if I can understand the situation... or the
        know the possible victims."
                "I'm sorry, believe me, I'm really sorry... but if I told
        you, something even worse might happen, and I just can't afford
        it....  But you'll help anyway?"  Ranma looked up for assurance.
        Dr. Tofu sighed and smiled slightly.
                "Yes, yes, I'll help.  I'll work on it as soon as possible
        but I still have to get these things done."
                "Man, thanks!  You don't know what this means to me!  Uh...
        say, Kasumi hasn't been around here lately, has she?"
                "Ah what?  Kasumi?-", Dr. Tofu's glasses fogged up for a
        split second then went back to normal, he shook his head sadly,
        "Uh, no... unfortunately, she hasn't been by... has she been busy?"
                "Uh yeah, that's it, great, fantastic, thanks, bye!"
                As Ranma left, he wondered what Dr. Tofu would think if he
        knew how much of a slut Kasumi was in her current state.
                                        -=-=-
                "Hi Ranma-honey!", Ukyou said as she assaulted one of his
        arms and clung to it with a vise-like grip.  She smiled widely and
        gazed up into his distracted face.
                "Huh?  Oh, hi Ukyou....", Ranma didn't turn to face her
        and continued to walk forward, deep in thought and hands in pockets.
                "So how are you doing?", said Ukyou, attempting small talk.
                "Hm?  Uh, fine."  Ukyou was getting frustrated... here she
        went to all this trouble to dress up for him, and he wasn't even
        noticing her!  She tried a more direct approach.
                "Ranma, do you notice anything different about me?"  She put
        on a smile that was dripping with sweetness.  Ranma gave her a
        cursory look and continued to look forward.
                "Umm, lost weight?"  Ukyou was getting majorly irritated.
        She hit him, hard, on the arm... but he still didn't seem to notice.
                "No!  Guess again!"
                "New hairdo?"
                "Not quite, try again."
                "Grew taller?"
                "Next."
                "I don't know!  I'm sorry, my mind's not really on this
        right now... hey Ukyou, do you happen to know any guys, Nabiki's 
        age that she likes or like her?"
                "...Nabiki?  Hey, what about me?!?  My clothes, dammit, look 
        at my clothes."  Ranma stopped walking and looked.  Ukyou stepped 
        back a bit then spun around so that he could see *everything*.  For 
        a moment, Ranma seemed interested... *but*....
                "Hmm, very nice... uh, won't you get chilly?  I mean, wearing
        so little and all."
                <AARRRRGGGHHH!!!>, Ukyou mentally screamed, <Aren't I the
        *least* bit interesting?!?>  As if to answer a man on a bike passed
        by the couple and turned his head around to whistle, running into 
        another male, that was equally distracted by Ukyou's attire.  The
        two crashed onto the sidewalk and watched Ukyou walk away, even
        while wounded and tangled together.  <Well at least I know *someone*
        is interested... <sigh>!  But what about Ranma?>
                <Wow!  Ukyou's looking really kawaii!  Bah!  How can you
        even think of a thing like that with a friend like her?!?  Idiot!
        Hmmm... back to the problem at hand.... who to pair Nabiki and
        Hinako with? ...->
                "No, I won't."
                "Eh?"
                "I said 'No, I won't.'  Are you listening?"
                "What?"
                "I'll never be cold as long as I am close to the one I-I-
        l-l- *<ah-choo!>* v-v *<sniff>* love!"
                "Sorry, what?"
                "Love!"  The light went on in Ranma's head and he suddenly
        got excited.
                "That's it!"
                "Huh?"
                "Ukyou, you genius!  I could kiss you!", Ranma laughed and
        grabbed Ukyou by the shoulders.
                "Oh Ranma!", said Ukyou, closing her eyes... waiting...
        Ukyou half opened one eye and peeked out to see Ranma running
        down the street waving without turning around to look at her.
                "Thanks Ukyou!!!", he yelled back.
                "Bye.", whispered Ukyou as a tear rolled down one cheek...
        not realizing that she had helped Ranma figure out that he could
        pair Nabiki up with the one thing she loved most in the world...
        Money.
                                        -=-=-
                "Hurry Sasuke!  It must be ready for my Pig-tailed Goddess
        as soon as possible!  My heart doth swoon at the time we spend
        separated!  Hurry Sasuke, hurry!"
                "Here, Master Kuno?"
                "No, you bumbling dolt!  The arrangement must be exactly
        to my ingenious specifications... the sheer poetry of my masterpiece
        must be conveyed exactly as I see it!"
                "Of course.  Forgive me, Master Kuno!  Here?"
                "No, NO, *NO*!  Ah, why is genius always surrounded by
        such idiocy?  Look!  It goes there, there!... No, there!"
                                        -=-=-
                *<SMASH>*  *<BRRMMMM>*  *<CRASH>*
                <Hm... sounds like someone's coming.>
                Ukyou got up off the curb and wiped her puffy eyes, she
        didn't want to be embarrassed in front of whomever was coming.
        She brushed her hands through her hair and straightened what clothing
        she wore.
                "BAKUSAITENKETSU!!!"  *<BRROOOM>*
                Ryouga came through the wall, panting and kneeled over
        with exhaustion.  Looking up he saw a stunning girl so lewdly
        dressed that he began to feel a trickle of blood run down one
        nostril... then he realized it was Ukyou.
                Ukyou looked at the poor boy and began to laugh madly...
        Ryouga had on a light, Spring, flower-print dress and had a bra
        dangling on his head and pink, lacy panties about one ankle.
        Ryouga stared at her with a dirty look, so Ukyou attempted to
        control herself.  Almost getting control, Ukyou wiped the tears
        of laughter from her face and bent over to talk to Ryouga.
                "Mhummm- ha ha- How- hehe- aaaaamm", she bit her lip and
        concentrated her self-discipline, "How?-"  Ryouga cut her off.
                "-Don't!... Don't ask...  Let's just say, I got lost again...
        Grrr!  I could be in the safety of Akane's arms... but NO!! Rrwrw!!
        This is all Ranma's fault!  I'll kill him!  I'll- *<WACK>* -OW!"
                "Leave Ran-chan out of this!  It's not his fault that you
        have the directional sense of a cabbage!" 
                "Owww, that hurt!", Ryouga whined, "It *is* his fault that
        I can't be with Akane, the one I l-l-..."
                "Love?", Ukyou finished, "Here, sit down...  You really like
        her, huh?"  Ryouga balked at the question... he wasn't one to talk
        about feelings, but for some reason he felt at ease talking to 
        Ukyou.
                "Um, yeah, I guess."
                "Why?  ...I mean, what makes you like a girl?"  Now Ryouga
        was getting really uncomfortable.  But he had to answer the question,
        after all, if he couldn't explain why he loved Akane to himself, how
        would he ever tell her?
                "Well, she's cute... hm, she's caring... she has a love of
        animals... ah-..."  Ryouga stumbled realizing his reasons sounded
        lame and could be applied to almost any cute girl.
                "Animals?  What does *that* have to do with anything?  Hmm...
        Ryouga, are you sure you don't like Akane just because she's
        engaged to Ranma?  You know, with all your competition and all."
                "WHAT!?!  Of course not!  I mean it's impossible!", Ryouga
        yelled.  But the damage of Ukyou's question had been already done.
        <Damn Ranma!!!  Now he is even causing me to doubt my love for
        Akane... my only reason for living!!!>
                "Alright then, what is it about her?"
                "I don't know!  No, I do know.  I mean- I mean... guys, they
        like pretty girls but... they want more, you know?" Ukyou nodded and
        encouraged him to continue.  "They want a kind-hearted, sweet, girl
        who will listen to your problems and tell you everything's going to
        be all right... they want a girl that will make them forget all the
        cruelties of this miserable world and give them a reason to live...
        well, actually, I can't speak for all guys, but that's what I want... 
        I guess."  Ukyou sat slightly awe-struck at how much Ryouga had just
        opened up to her.
                "You see all that in Akane?"
                "Yeah, of course."
                "And you love her for that?"
                "I guess."
                "Even if she doesn't ever love you back?"
                "....I-... I think I will always love her...."
                "You know, you and I are a lot alike, we both love people
        who might never love us back, but we don't care."  They sat there
        in silence for a moment... reflecting.  Then Ukyou broke out into
        mad laughter.
                "What!?  What's so funny?"
                "I just had one of my deepest talks with the boy who wants
        to kill my Ran-chan, while he's wearing a dress and a bra on his
        head!  HA HA HA!!!"  Ryouga shot her a dirty look then grabbed the
        neckline of the dress and was about the rip it off when Ukyou 
        stopped him.
                "Wait!  The owner might want it back... do you know where
        this came from?  Of course not, you have no clue, have you?  Well
        give it to me, it's a bit dusty but I can clean it up and wear it
        for Ranma-honey.... um, I think I'll be needing those.", Ukyou
        said embarrassed, pointing to the unmentionables.  Ryouga blushed
        deeply while handing them to her.  Ukyou glanced at her watch and
        gasped.
                "Oh!  I've got to go!  Thanks for the talk Ryouga... and
        the clothes, we've got to do this again sometime!", she kissed him
        on the forehead and ran off, "Bye!"
                "Uh... bye.", said Ryouga, still dumbfounded by the kiss.
                                        -=-=-
                Ranma paused outside Nabiki's room and listened to the
        murmurs inside.  <Oh no, not again...>
                *<Knock, Knock>*
                "Nabiki?  Hello?  May I come in?"  There was the sound of
        movement then a click as the door unlocked.
                "Sure, Ranma, come in and join us... just be sure to lock
        the door behind you, okay?"  <Jesus...>  Ranma walked in and his
        jaw dropped wide open at the sight of Kasumi and Nabiki on Nabiki's
        bed....
                <They- They're wearing clothes!  And their not having sex!!>
        Ranma thanked the heavens that the elder Tendo sisters still believed
        in "quality" time together.
                "Uh, Nabiki... I just was kinda wondering if you would be
        interested in going out on a... well, uh, a blind date with a- uh-
        'friend' of mine.  I mean, Akane and I, we could double with you
        guys if you accept."
                "Hm, I don't know... going 'blind' into something sounds
        awfully stupid.  Is he cute?"
                "The girls swoon all over him."  <Out of disgust, maybe...>
                "Is he younger than me?  I won't date a younger guy-"
                "He's older."
                "He rich?"
                "Yup."
                "Smart?"
                "He's well versed in literature..."
                "Hm, I don't really like smart guys."
                "Well he's not terribly bright, either."
                "Sounds like a geek... he's not a pussy-cat is he?"
                "Nope, he's as brave as he is stupid- oops!- I-"
                "This guy sounds profitable... okay, I'll go out with him...
        for five thousand yen."
                "Five thousand?!?  For what?!?"
                "My fee-"
                "The guy practically sells himself!  I thought I was doing
        you a favor!  Forget it then!", Ranma started to leave then turned
        around, "Two thousand."
                "Four thousand five hundred."
                "Nothing, but the date's my treat."
                "Four thousand and your treat."
                "You got to be kidding!  Movie and dinner, my treat."
                "Movie, dinner, your treat, and two thousand yen... that's 
        my final offer."
                "Nabiki, I'm nearly broke!", Ranma whined.
                "New deal then.  Dinner, your treat.  And...-"
                "And?"  Nabiki smiled evily "Oh no!  Please!  Com'on, it gets
        to be too much!!"
                "We have a deal?"
                "Yeah.", conceded Ranma, defeated.  He stood there and
        allowed Kasumi and Nabiki to begin to strip him.
                                        -=-=-
                Only a hour or two later, a depressed and rumpled Ranma was
        allowed to leave the room.  The two girls lay, naked, on their backs
        and talked as they stared at the ceiling.
                "You think he knows?"
                "That we spike his food with the Passion Fever Dust?  No, I
        don't think so... remember last time he found out?  He would be too
        angry to hide it if he knew."
                "It's just trace amounts anyway..."
                "Yes, it makes him a more active participant... he doesn't
        like it as it is, can you imagine if he wasn't on the Dust?"
                                        -=-=-
                Ranma stepped out into the garden for some air and to be
        alone with his thoughts.
                <Che!  I feel bad... I guess I'd better go and call Kuno
        to set up the date with Nabiki.  Of course, I'll have to tell him
        it is with his "Pig-tailed Goddess" but I'll work something out.
        Hm, better make reservations at Ukyou's or something- eh?>
                Ranma bumped into a lamp-post and looked up.  He was standing
        in front of Ukyou's oknomiyaki restaurant.  In his semi-depressed
        state it didn't really bother him that only minutes ago, he had been
        in the garden.  <Feh.  Must be developing a Ryouga-complex... well
        as long as I'm here...>, Ranma thought as he pushed the door open
        and walked in.
                                        -=-=-
                "Wow, it fits perfectly.  Just a few adjustments-", Ukyou
        looked in the mirror and tugged at the waistband to get the hem-line
        to go up and pulled the neck-line down a bit, "-ah, perfect!"
                Ukyou spun in front of the mirror, causing her skirt to float
        upwards, and winked at herself.  She was about to practice poses when
        the shop bell rang.
                "Oh, a customer!"  Ukyou ran out and gasped when she saw that
        it was Ranma.  <I'm not ready yet!>  She ran back inside.
                "Hello?  Anybody here?  Ukyou?"  Ukyou checked her hair once
        more and smoothed out her dress and exited nervously.
                "Oh h-hi Ranma?"  Ranma gloomy face cheered a bit and smiled.
                "Hey Ukyou!  New dress?  It looks really nice on you.", Ranma
        checked to make sure that he wasn't crazy... did he just freely give
        a compliment?
                Meanwhile, Ukyou heart fluttered at the compliment.
                <He noticed!  He *noticed*!  Oh!  What do I do now?>
                "Thanks Ranma, you know, I wore this just for you..."
                <Huh?  How did she know I was coming?  What is she talking
        about?>
                "Uh -gee -well thanks for the thought... I guess.  Um, I'm
        kinda here to make reservations for four tomorrow night, here... is
        that okay?"
                "Of course!  Anything for you Ranma-honey.  You'll get the
        best seat in the house!", then it occurred to her, "Hey, who are you
        bringing?"
                "Oh, it'll just be me, Akane, Nabiki and Kuno."  Ukyou
        breathed a slight sigh of relief.
                <If Kuno and Nabiki are there, it can't possibly be a double
        date... must be school or business related.>  Ukyou then noticed
        that Ranma reverted to his glum state.
                "Ran-chan... is something wrong?"
                "Hm?  Oh, me?  Nah, everything's fine."  When Ranma noticed 
        that she had noticed, he forced a weak smile that died off in a few
        seconds.  Ukyou called on her previous experience with Ryouga.
                "Sit tight.  I'll close up shop and we'll talk... something's
        bothering you.  I don't want you to ever be troubled Ran-chan."
        Somehow, Ukyou's words and voice were soothing and Ranma decided to
        stay.  <Why not?  Maybe I can get a few of the less explicit things
        off my chest.  Confession is supposed to be good for the soul right?>
                                        -=-=-
                Hours later, Ranma and Ukyou were rolling on the floor
        laughing.  As they talked, Ranma grew more and more aware of what a
        good friend Ukyou was and how easy it was to talk to her.  Ukyou's
        admiration for Ranma grew deeper as well.  Ukyou began to realize
        the power of allowing people to express their troubles.  She didn't
        want to risk it but she decided to move the subject on to more
        sensitive stuff.
                "Hey Ranma, would you tell me about sex?", Ukyou asked.
        Immediately Ranma was silent as he glared at her.  Ukyou moved back
        slightly as she felt his anger.  Ranma shook with an inner rage and
        pointed.
                "H-How *DARE* you!..."  He got up and began to circle her.
                "Ran-chan, what?  I'm sorry!  What did I do?"
                "You're just like all the rest of them!  You slut!  Why
        can't you leave me alone!", he was screaming at her.  Ukyou started
        crying and begged him to stop.
                "Please!  No!  I don't understand!  Ranma!", Ukyou sobbed,
        while clutching him.  Ranma stopped and looked down at Ukyou and
        looked away in shame.
                "Aw shit, what have I done?", he muttered under his breath,
        "Ukyou, shhhh, it's okay.  I'm sorry.  You're not like them, you
        wouldn't do something like that, shhhh."  He put his arms around her
        and calmed her until she stopped.
                "I-I- just wanted to *<sniff>* know..."
                "Sorry... of course, I'll tell you anything you want to know.
        Just answer this... why?"
                "I- well- it's like this... even back in middle school I
        pretended to be a boy.  When it came to the first week of sex ed in
        health, it seemed very important that the boys went with the coach
        and that the girls went with the nurse.  They stressed this division
        very strongly, making us take notes home to our parents to sign and
        stating anyone caught in the wrong class would be expelled.
                That left me with a problem... the school thought that I was
        a boy, so I was required to go to that class.  But I knew that I was
        a girl so, morally, I shouldn't be in the boys' class.  So I didn't
        go to either.  Later, when I asked about it, my male friends made
        fun of my ignorance so I never tried to learn about it since then.  I
        know some things... like you should only have sex with someone you
        love and that most people really like it... though most people don't
        talk about it in public... so I don't know that much.
                I was hoping- well- I was hoping that you'd teach me, Ranma.
        But you don't have to.  I mean, I guess I could find someone else-"
                "No, no... I owe it to you.  Um, where to start?  Ah- gee-
        this is hard... you're right, people don't talk about it much....
        Well I guess it starts with the function of sex...  People have sex 
        to reproduce, that's where babies come from.  They-"  Ukyou gasped.
                "What!  That's where babies come from?!?"
                "Oh boy...", Ranma sighed.
                                        -=-=-
                After the crash-course, Ukyou sat in wonderment.  Ranma was
        surprised at how fascinated she was and how much he remembered.  It
        was pure, clean curiosity that spurred all her questions.  He had
        described conception, birth-control, puberty, masturbation, oral
        sex, anal sex, and a whole other slew of sex ed material all from
        a "scientific" view-point.  Finally, extremely late into the night,
        Ukyou got to the question she wanted to ask.
                "Um, Ranma... have you- have you ever... had sex?", Ukyou
        asked meekly.  Dispite his openness for the last few hours, he had
        snapped at the first mention of "sex" before and she didn't want
        to repeat that again.
                Ranma stared at her for a long time then looking at his
        feet he answered.
                "Yes... yes, I've had sex before."  Ukyou's heart broke...
        She had to know...
                "W-with who?"  Her eyes began to well up with tears but
        Ranma didn't seem to notice.  He was struggling to answer.
                "A-Akane... first... then Kasumi and Nabiki... and Miss
        Hinako.  Baka, you must think me a pervert now..."
                "H-how?  So many?"  Ukyou was beginning to cry.
                "Uchan, listen to me... sex does not equal love, do you
        understand?  I don't want to- but I have to- my body responds but
        I hate it!  They don't see me as a person, they use me to masturbate
        themselves!  Do you understand?  Sex doesn't equal love."
                "You- but you have sex with them?"
                "They are cursed, an addiction to a drug...-"
                "You like it?"
                "No!  My body responds- they are attractive women... but
        I don't love them."
                "Do you love me?"  Ranma looked at her and then it struck
        him... she did love him.  He always thought it was some silly crush
        or competition between her and Shampoo or something her father told
        her to do to keep her busy.  But it wasn't any of those things... his 
        friend... Uchan... she was in love with him.  Ranma felt sorry for
        what he had to say... he owed her the truth.
                "No... Uchan, no.", he whispered.  Ukyou began to cry
        earnestly now.  Then suddenly stopped.  She seemed to have a new
        resolve and a glint of madness.
                "You don't love them either-"
                "I love Akane!"  Ukyou didn't seem to hear him and continued.
                "-yet they still excite you... could I arouse you?"
                "Ukyou, you're my friend!"
                "A *woman*!"  She started toward him.
                "Ukyou... I just don't think of you that way."  Ukyou
        sniffed as the tears continued to flow down her face.
                "What do you mean 'that way'!  I'm a woman you jerk!",
        Ukyou tore open her blouse, baring her breasts to a shocked
        Ranma, "I love you!  Can't you see that?!?"
                "Ukyou, please...."
                "Take me!!!", cried Ukyou, throwing herself upon him.
        Ukyou pushed him on his back and ripped open his shirt.  Straddling
        him, she forcefully kissed him fully on the mouth.
                "Ukyou!  Mmmmph!  Ukyou please- Mgurglphf!  Ukyou STOP!",
        Ranma nearly shouted pushing back a desperate, sobbing Ukyou.
                "What's wrong with me?!?", Ukyou sobbed, pitifully, "Am
        I that ugly?"  Ranma's face softened and he knelt down next to
        Ukyou, wrapping his arms around her.  Kissing her on the forehead,
        he cradled her in his arms, rocking her back and forth.
                "Uchan... you're one of the most beautiful woman I've ever
        met, one of the kindest, strongest, and smartest."  Ukyou stopped
        sobbing and listened intently, sniffling now and then.  "You're a
        great cook, a good friend, and an accomplished business woman.
        You're loyal, independent, and loving... the perfect girlfriend,
        the perfect wife... I'm crazy not to love you... the only thing
        is... you're not Akane.
                Ukyou, understand that there is nothing wrong with you... 
        it's just that I love Akane.  I know, she's temperamental, judging, 
        and a horrible cook, but I love her anyway, that's how love works."
                Ranma didn't know it, but he had just hurt Ukyou further...
        in her mind he was saying that all the things that made her special
        didn't matter, making her even more worthless.  She began to cry
        yet again.  Ranma stroked her back, rocked her, and kissed her head
        all in attempts to calm her.
                As he did this, a rush of heat went through his body.  He
        tingled all over, his ears burned, and he began to sweat.  Ranma
        became acutely aware of Ukyou's bare chest against his, the smell of
        her hair, tears, and sweat, and how much he was hurting her... 
        somehow, he knew he had felt this before... he had to stop it 
        before- he dismissed the thought... all he wanted to do was make 
        everything better....  He allowed the Fever to take over.
                                        -=-=-
                Tofu Ono yawned and stretched out accidentally knocking over
        a small bottle which fell open, its contents spilling into the cage
        containing the hamster which he had been experimenting the Passion
        Fever Dust on.
                "Oops, better clean up the- What in the-?!?"  The hamster's
        hair was sticking up on end and a strange yellow aura surrounded the
        little beast.  It's eyes widened as it got shocked by blue electric
        field coming from itself.  It let out a high pitched squeal then
        calmed.  Dr. Tofu knelt down to get a better look.  The curled up
        hamster's eyes became evil-looking glowing red slits.  The rodent
        growled like a feral predator then let out a ki blast that sent
        Tofu reeling.
                The glowing hamster flew out of it's cage and hovered in
        front of Tofu, hissing, preparing for the kill.  Luckily, Dr. Tofu
        just happened to have the cure for the Passion Fever Dust ready.  He
        sprayed the super rodent and it squealed terribly as if a demon was
        leaving its body then fell to the ground trembling.
                Armed with the cure, Tofu tried to see what triggered the
        phenomena.  First examining the spilled powder.
                "Hmm, Rylagia pollen... rare, South African flower with black
        petals."  Dr. Tofu took a pinch and sprinkled it on the hamster...
        nothing happened.  He took a little more and tried again with no
        result.
                "Must be something else..."  Looking around, he saw that the
        hamster cage was next to a special order fish.  A patient of his
        wanted a continual source of ki, so he had discovered a species of
        battle fish that fought continually producing an infinite amount of
        battle aura... but that patient had said that she had found her own
        cure so he kept the fish for future use.
                "Maybe..."  He moved the hamster back to its cage a added
        the pollen again.  The hamster began to glow again so Dr. Tofu
        promptly sprayed it, the yellow aura died out.
                "Battle aura and Rylagia pollen... I better tell Ranma about
        this just in case."  He picked up the phone.
                "Hello?  May I speak to Ranma? ...He's not home?  Do you know
        where he is, it's important.  ...No?  Thanks anyway, tell him I
        called.  I want to speak to him right away."  Tofu hung up.
                <Well it should be okay... the chances of running across
        a Rylagia flower in Japan are impossible.  Ranma's not home, huh?
        I wonder where he could be?>
                                        -=-=-
                Ranma held Ukyou closer and began moving his kisses down
        her brow to her eyes, kissing away the tears, to her nose and then,
        ever so lightly, he touched their lips together and held it for a
        moment.  He arched his back and began to work his way down her neck
        and paused.  Ranma pushed her back gently and moved his hands to
        her torn dress.  He slid the fabric off her breasts and off her
        shoulders, exposing her entire top.  Ranma marveled at the beauty
        before him and slid his hands up and down Ukyou's sides.
                Ukyou was confused, she had no idea what was happening yet
        she wanted it to happen so badly.  Scared, she just allowed Ranma to
        teach her.
                Ranma leaned forward and kissed around her right nipple then
        took it into his mouth, teasing it gently with his tongue and softly
        pressing it with his lips.  Ukyou held her breath.  Ranma moved to
        her left breast, and taking in only the nipple, repeated the teasing.
                Ukyou felt herself begin to get very hot.  Between her legs
        came a great urging and tingling... it felt strange... slightly
        damp?  She didn't want to risk breaking the spell that seemed to be
        on Ranma, though, so she froze.
                Ranma's glazed over eyes stared at her breasts for a moment.
        Then he reached up and cupped them, squeezed them, and massaged them.
        Ukyou let out a gasp and bit her lip trying to hold the moans that
        threatened to escape.
                He pushed Uchan onto her back and spread her knees.  Reaching
        under her skirt he slid his hands along her thighs until he reached
        her thin waist.  Ranma moved his fingers between the inside of her
        thighs rubbed the moist outside of her panties with both his thumbs.
                This time, Ukyou could not hold back her cry and she moaned
        loudly.  She watched as Ranma removed her damp panties and pushed
        them to her ankles.  Ukyou instinctively half-crossed her legs and
        rubbed her thighs together.  When she opened her eyes, she nearly
        panicked, seeing Ranma standing up, thinking that he was leaving.
        But he merely stood there, smiling, and dropped his trousers.
                Ukyou sat up and knelt before him, gazing up.  Ranma held
        out a hand, which Ukyou put her's into, then he guided it to his
        clothed member.  Amazed at its size, Ukyou grasped it with two
        hands and massaged it through the silk boxers.  Ranma's eyes were
        shut and his head was back.  She moved along to its tip, where
        she felt a slightly damp spot.
                Ranma undid his boxers and allowed them to fall to the floor
        as well, giving Ukyou an unobstructed view of his manhood.  Ukyou
        studied it intently, examining its textures, heat, and smell.  She
        fondled it, played with his balls and pubic hairs until she was
        comfortable with its presence.  She then lay on her back, spread
        her legs widely, and waited.
               Ranma got down between her legs and guided his shaft into
        her glistening slit.  Half-way in, Ukyou was already beginning to
        moan.  Ranma eased himself in and out with a steady, slow rhythm.
        Ranma stopped causing Ukyou to bite her lip in anticipation... then
        thrust deeply and hard, breaking Ukyou.  She cried out in pain and
        bit her lip too hard, causing it to bleed a bit.  But her scream
        where quickly replaced by Ranma's soft grunts and her deep moans.
                Ukyou's fears dissipated and she began to move, naturally,
        against him, bucking her hips to counter each thrust allowing Ranma
        to penetrate deeper.  Ranma savored her tightly clenching muscles
        around his hard erection until he decided to bring them both to
        an orgasm.  Fondling her breasts while using them for support, Ranma
        pounded harder and faster into Ukyou's tight virgin sex.
                For the time, Ukyou's world existed of only two things, her 
        breasts and her vagina.  Both were being assaulted by a battery of
        pleasure she never knew was possible.  Suddenly she stiffened, and
        gasped as a river of untapped honey gushed forth.  The ecstasy washed
        over her entire body nearly drove her to tears.  Ranma came quickly
        after that and that caused Ukyou to cum a second time in rapid
        succession.  Somehow Ranma was driven somewhat back to his senses
        for a moment.
                <What the hell do you think you are doing!?!> asked his
        feminine side.
                <Huh?  I'm doing it the way it's supposed to be done!>
                <Sigh... This is all Hentosai's fault, you will never be
        able to have soft sex with anyone...>
                <Grrr, kill Hentosai!>
                <You idiot!  Calm down, don't let that bastard spoil this 
        for Ak- Hey wait a moment!  This isn't Akane!?!>
                <Who cares!>
                <*I* care!!!  You stop that right now or I'll->
                But his animal side was jolted back into dominance by Ukyou's
        latest cry.
                "We're not done?  Oh yes!  OH *YES*!!!"  Ranma's increased
        endurance allowed him to continue please Ukyou, even after release.
        Much later, Ukyou fell unconscious with ecstasy, but Ranma continued
        to make love to her until, finally, his body collapsed out of
        exhaustion.
                                        -=-=-
                The first beams of sunlight broke the night as the early sun 
        began to rise.  Ranma began to stir.  He unconsciously began to kiss 
        Ukyou on the head.  He moved her leg from around his waist and pulled 
        his sticky member from her body.  He snuggled tighter and wrapped his 
        arms about her.  Ranma let out a sigh of contentment.
                <Ahh, my dear, sweet, loving Ukyou- ...my friend Uchan...
        My GOD AKANE!!!  *SHIT*!!!!  I've done it again!!!>  The full
        realization of what he allowed to occur hit him.  He had fallen to
        his bodily lusts again and this time there was no excuse for it!
        How would he explain this to Akane?  Ranma needed to think, but
        more importantly, he needed to get away first.
                He got up off the floor and scrambled to collect his clothes.
        Ranma put them on hastily and made sure that Ukyou was decently
        covered then left a note to Ukyou.  After what he had done he could
        not face her, not just yet, but he knew the consequences where
        inevitable.
                                        -=-=-
                Ukyou's murmured and felt for her lover next to her only
        to find her side empty.  Her eyes fluttered open.
                "Ran-chan?  Ranma?  Ranma, where are you?"  She looked
        about the room to find it empty except for a card, standing up on
        the nightstand.  She picked it up and read.
                "Dear Uchan,
                        I'm sorry to leave but I had to.  We've done
                something terribly wrong.  I can't see you right now
                but we need to talk later.  I call you.
                                                With My Deepest Apologies,
                                                Ranma Saotome."
                Ukyou was floating on Cloud Nine so the note didn't quite
        get its message across to her.
                <Oh Ranma!  So concerned with tradition... he's so worried
        about pre-marital sex... he's probably arranging the wedding
        ceremony right now!>  Ukyou got up and stretched her gloriously naked
        body in the light.  <Hmm, I think I'll take today off!>  Just as
        she was going off to the bathroom to clean up-
                "Akane?!?  Akane, you home?!?"
                "EEEEKK!!!", yelled Ukyou as she bashed and unsuspecting
        Ryouga with a giant spatula, "Oops!  It's only you... sorry."
                "Eh?  Ow!", said Ryouga as he rubbed his head, "Sorry
        Ukyou, I was trying to- aaaawhaa- awwhhaaaa-"  Ryouga had looked up
        and received an eye-full.  Ukyou was totally naked; clutching a giant
        spatula and a sheet to her chest.  The sheet didn't cover much, her
        elbow covering a more sensitive area, and her smooth thighs exposed
        on either side of the sheet.
                Ryouga could feel his consciousness slowly drift away as the
        warm trickle of blood flowed out his nostrils.  Then pain.  Sharp
        bursts of it, across his face, began to bring him back to reality.
                "Hey stop that!", Ukyou said as she slapped him back and
        forth with a normal sized spatula.  She wrapped the sheet around
        to make herself more presentable.
                "What's that?  Oops, heh heh.  Um, sorry to bother you...
        where's the Tendo Dojo?"
                "Why should I even bother telling you?  You'd probably just
        end up back here the instant you step out that door...  Why do you
        want to go there anyway?"
                "Well- I guess- Our talk made me realize how much Akane means
        to me.  I have to fight for her!  I'm going to challenge Ranma, once
        and for all, for Akane!!!"  He was shaking his fist and his eyes
        were lifted towards heaven... Ukyou only shook her head and muttered.
                "Oh brother."
                "What?!?"
                "You like Akane?"
                "Of course!"
                "Then don't fight *Ranma* for her-"
                "What then?!?  I'll fight dragons, griffins, evil spirits,
        even Happosai!  Anything!!!"
                "No don't fight anything!  That only makes her seem like a
        possession to you.  You like her, you go to her... you tell her how
        you feel."
                "W-what... can't I just fight the dragons?"
                "Ryouga, listen, tell Akane how you feel.  It works, believe
        me, I know."
                "But-"
                "I shouldn't tell you this but... I told Ranma how I felt
        about him... and, well, we had- we had a moment."
                "A moment?"
                "Yes, like a moment together... you know?"
                "You mean-?"
                "Yes, that kind of moment."
                "Ukyou, that's wonderful news!!!"
                "Isn't it?!"
                "Ranma can't possibly claim to be engaged to Akane now!"
                "Watch it, Ryouga", Ukyou threatened, "don't you sully my
        future husband's name!"
                "I won't need to, that was that extra bit of confidence I
        needed!  Nothing can stop me now!!!"
                "Then go get her, Prince Charming!"
                "Thanks a lot Ukyou, bye!"
                Ryouga left with a heart of a lion and the directional sense
        of a cabbage.  But dispite his new-found courage and resolve to
        finally capture Akane for his own, his last thoughts as he left
        Ukyou's restaurant were of Ukyou...
                <Hmmm... Ukyou smelled really nice...>
                                        -=-=-
                <She looks like an angel... I-I can't wake her- Aw shut up!
        Courage, idiot, you have to do this!>  Ranma sat on the bed and
        put his hand by her face.
                "Akane?  Akane, I have something to tell you.", he whispered.
                "Huh- wha- Oh.  Ranma... where were you last night?"  Akane
        smiled warmly at him making his task so much more difficult.  He
        buried his head in her lap and cried.
                "Akane, I'm a horrible pervert!"
                "Wha-?  Ranma, not again!  What, or should I say *WHO*, have 
        you done?!"  Her first reaction, as usual, was to get very, very 
        angry.
                "I-I- Ukyou-"
                "First you and Hinako!!  Now you and Ukyou!!!  Baka!!!", she  
        managed to gain control somehow... things were different now, she
        had to think and act differently too, "I-I'm sorry... please, tell 
        me everything."  And Ranma did.
                                        -=-=-
                Akane shook her head sorrowfully, "Ranma... you've done a
        terrible thing-"
                "Forgive me, I'll make it up to you!  I promise!"
                "No Ranma, not to me, to Ukyou...  Ranma, her very existence
        revolved around you since she was a child!  You broke her heart.
        You destroyed her dreams of happiness and extinguished all her hope."
                "I had to tell her the truth, I owed it to her!"
                "Yes, I understand... had you left it at that, she would
        have realized how silly her obsession was, she would have moved on,
        gained new dreams and a new hope-"
                "..."
                "You wanted to heal her?  But instead you've caused her to
        cling to a devastated dream... she'll never be happy..."
                "A-Akane... w-what have I done?  What can I do?"
                "I don't know Ranma... I-"
                "RAANNNMMAAAA!!!!"
                "Ryouga!", Akane gasped.
                "Get out of here, Ryouga!  I'm in no mood to fight."
                "I'm not here to fight!", Ryouga said approaching.  Ranma
        assumed a battle stance but Ryouga walked past him to Akane.  He
        took one of her hands into his and knelt down before her.
                "A-Akane... I've been meaning to tell you this for a long
        time-"
                "What you plan on telling her, P-chan?", Ranma smirked.
                "SHUT UP RANMA!!!  Akane... I l-l-uh-v-v- I l-l-"
                "Loath?", Ranma prodded.
                "Grrr!", out of anger he yelled, "AKANE TENDO, I LOVE YOU!!!"
                "Oh Ryouga....", she turned her head away from his hopeful
        face.  <Ryouga, why did you have to do this?  We were such good
        friends...>  A tear escaped.  "Ryouga, I don't love you.  I can't."
        Ryouga could feel his heart shatter and the pain of its sharp
        splinters tear his insides.  All his worst nightmares were becoming
        realized.  He curled up into a shuddering ball.
                "Ryouga, I'm sorry, I love Ranma."
                "GRAAACKKK! RRRrrrrrrr-", Ryouga cried out in pain.  <She
        had to turn the knife too?!?>  He sobbed and heaved on the ground
        as if he were having an epilepsy.
                "Did I kill him?", Akane asked in horror.
                                        -=-=-
                "Sasuke, imagine receiving a summons from my Goddess of
        worship to enter her sacred home!!!  But it is not surprising that
        she would want the company of I, Kuno Tatewaki!!!"
                "Of course- *<pant,pant>* -your Lordship... all the ladies,
        especially Akane Tendo and your Pig-tailed Goddess adore thee-
        *<huff,puff>* -Master Kuno.  And what timing- *<grunt>* -right when
        you finished your masterpiece!"
                "Of course, Sasuke.  Even Fate, herself, favors the ones who
        most deserve it.  But we must depart!  My adoring Pig-tailed Goddess
        awaits!  Make haste, Sasuke, make haste!"
                "Yes, Master Kuno.  Right away, Master Kuno.  Not even the
        enormous weight of this parcel shall delay your faithful servant!"
                Sasuke then proceeded to get crushed under the weight.
                                        -=-=-
                "Just because I didn't kill him, doesn't mean you can go
        back to being an insensitive *jerk*!"  Akane whacked Ranma.
                "Ow!  Sorry but Ryouga's been a thorn in my side too long!
        I feel that I'm due some payback!"
                "Hasn't he suffered enough?  I've broken his-"  Ryouga
        startled the two by groaning loudly and climbing to his knees.
        Clenching his fists he cried.
                "*Why*?!?  Why, Akane, why?  I can understand you not loving
        me... yet... but *RANMA?!?!  WHY RANMA?!!!"
                "I'm his fiancee-", she responded quietly.
                "NO!  -Hah, Ranma, I've got you now!- You're engagement is
        nullified!  Ranma has been unfaithful, he can't be your husband!"
                "What do you mean, Ryouga?"
                <This is dishonorable, but Akane deserves better...>
                "I mean to say that he has been with another woman, in an
        intimate way, before you."  His cheeks turned bright red as he said
        it.
                "Who?"
                "I can't sully her name as well-"
                "Who?"
                "Er- Ukyou."
                "Oh.  I knew that already."
                "WHAT?!?!"
                "Ryouga... I think it would be best for you to leave and
        recover a bit and then we'll have to have a long, friend to friend
        talk-"
                "In other words, Bacon Boy, get lost!"
                "GGRRRAAARRRGGHHH!!!!!  *DIE* RANMA!!!"
                "Ryouga no!", Akane yelled.  But Ranma struck an defensive
        pose and grinned... this was exactly the kind of diversion he needed
        from his troubles with Ukyou... violence was always the answer.
                "Com'on, P-Chan, you want this!"  Ryouga heaved with the dark
        energy of his sorrow.
                "Don't... call... me... P-CHAN!!!", he screamed as he landed
        a powerful blow on Ranma, which sent him through both sides of the
        training hall and slammed him into a tree which landed him in the 
        pond.  <Shimatta!>, thought a soaking wet Ranma-chan, <I forgot how
        powerful he gets when he's sad... and mad!>
                "RAANNMMAA?!?!"  Ryouga bashed through the training hall
        himself and searched for his prey.  His battle aura flared when he
        spotted Ranma-chan, and he charged.  Ranma's eyes grew wide at the
        on-coming beast and jumped up.  The jump would have cleared Ryouga,
        but instead, she slammed into his expanded battle aura and was sent
        through a stone lantern.
                Ranma-chan shook her groggy head and quickly cleared the
        twittering birds with a few swipes.  This was not good.
                                        -=-=-
                *<WHACK!>*
                "AAYAHHHH!"
                "...Nineteen..."
                *<WHACK!>*
                "OHHH!!"
                "...Twenty!  All done you naughty little girl!"  Miss Hinako
        put away the yardstick.  Kasumi was bent over her desk with her skirt
        up, her panties down, and a very active vibrator jammed in her sex.
        She rubbed her slightly sore bottom then turned to her teacher.
                "Thank you Hinako-sensi for disciplining me.  I will be a
        good student from now on."  Hinako grinned.
                "Don't be *too* good... that wouldn't be any fun!"  Now that 
        Miss Hinako visited the Dojo, the Tendo sisters could play "games" 
        with her.  Ironically, they hadn't thought to play "Teacher and Her
        Students" until now.
                "Ugh!  Ahhh AHHH AHH!!!", screamed Nabiki.  Hinako turned
        around at the sound and Nabiki smiled up innocently at her desk.
                "Hands."  Nabiki held out her hands.  They were dampened from
        jamming them repeatedly into her womanhood causing her honey to flow
        over them.
                "Tsk, Tsk... Miss Tendo, what did I say about masturbation?"
                "Self-gratification is selfish unless shared with others."
        Nabiki hung her head in mock-shame and awaited her punishment.
        Hinako got the yardstick back out and swung it casually back and
        forth.
                "Nabiki, looks like we need to review on-"
                *<BRRROOOOMM!!!>*
                *<CRASH!!!>*
                *<tinkle, tinkle>*
                "DIE RANMA!!!"
                *<CREEEACK!!!>*
                "SHIT!  STOP, ASSHOLE!!!"
                "Hm, better get dressed... sounds like we've got visitors."
                                        -=-=-
                Tick.  Tock.  Tick.  Tock.  Tic-  *<Smash>*
                Ukyou instantly regretted smashing her cute kitty clock.
        Using her mighty okonomiyaki flipper, she picked up the pieces and
        dumped them in the trash.
                <Damn him, he said he would call!>  She fidgeted with a gear
        for a bit then sighed loudly, puffing at her bangs.
                <It's still early, Ran-chan's probably just running a few
        errands... what am I waiting around for him for?!>  Ukyou stood up.
        <I'll just go over and visit him!  Won't he be surprised?!>  She
        flicked the gear expertly, causing it to stick into a hanging cutting
        board, closed up shop, and left.
                                        -=-=-
                "Calm down, idiot!", yelled Ranma-chan as she dodge to the
        side.  "Don't bring down the house!  Akane lives here too, ya know!"
        The use of Akane's name allowed her message to get through Ryouga's
        rage... so he stopped short of doing his full Shishihokodan but he
        kept his resolve to kill Ranma.
                Ryouga shot out his foot but missed the swift Ranma.  His
        foot went through the wall and several electric and phone cables.
        Ryouga pulled his foot out of the plaster and didn't seem to notice
        Ranma's annoyance.
                "Get out of the house!!!"  She dodged another kick and
        disappeared around the hallway corner.  Ryouga stormed after her but
        upon rounding the corner Ryouga found nothing but an empty bathroom.
        <I'll *kill* him!  Even if it takes me a hundred years to find him
        in this place, I'll kill him!!!>
                                        -=-=-
                "Go now, Sasuke!  The Pig-tailed Goddess, of course, intends
        for us to be alone!  I will bear this gift to her!"
                "I gladly give you the honor, Master Kuno!", said Sasuke as
        he passed the float-like statue to Kuno, who struggled under its
        weight.  It was a statue of, who else, but Kuno, bokken held high
        and poetic scripture written at its base.
                The plaster statue was covered in and colored with various 
        flowers.  Kuno had insisted the fragile beauty of a flora arrangement 
        and the fluid grace of poetry and the everlasting strength of stone 
        all be a part of his masterpiece.  He had gone to great lengths to 
        acquire the exotic flowers that had the exact color of his hair...
        they came from... South Africa, was it?
                No matter.  Now, at the doorstep of his Beloved he would
        bear this magnificent gift to her.  Kuno thought his masterpiece so
        glorious that he had difficulty parting with it... but no sacrifice
        was too great for his Pig-tailed Goddess.
                "Oh sweet Goddess, come favor your beloved Tatewaki!!!"
        Kuno knocked on the door and awaited an answer.
                                        -=-=-
                *<Brrrrrinngg... Brrrrinngg... Brrrr- Click>*
                Dr. Tofu put down the receiver and rubbed his chin... this
        was not good, fifth try and no answer... there's usually *someone*
        at the Tendo Dojo.  Something was gravely wrong... he could feel it.
        Dr. Tofu decided he should see what was up.  He gathered up a bag of
        bottles, left a note on his door, and headed toward the Tendo Dojo.
                                        -=-=-
                *<knock,knock,knock>*
                "Hm?  Oh, someone's at the door!", smiled Kasumi sweetly,
        she was in her housewife mode, "I'll get it!"
                                        -=-=-
                Ryouga heard the knock at the door.
                <Ran...  ma?!?>, cried his maddened mind.  He was coming
        through the door!
                <Kill him.  Kill him.  Kill him->, he mentally chanted.
        He waited for Ranma's face to appear in the doorway so he bash it
        inside out.
                                        -=-=-
                <Ah!  The door's opening!  Wait no longer, oh Graceful One!
        Your darling has arrived at your summons!>, thought Kuno
                                        -=-=-
                Kasumi opened the door.
                                        -=-=-
                "GRRAARRGHH!!!"
                A battle aura charged Ryouga burst forth to destroy the one
        entering the Tendo home.  He passed Kasumi, engulfing her in his
        aura and smashed his fist with such power and force, charged with
        the ki of his Shishihokodan attack... right into Kuno's statue.
                                        -=-=-
                The explosion sent Kuno flying skywards and landing on his
        head as typical for him, and sent gravel, poetry, and bits of flowers
        everywhere.
                Ranma turned looked down from the rooftop in wonder.  Ukyou,
        who was right outside the gate, saw the column of flowers and thought
        that Ranma had exploded at the florists for their ensuing wedding.
        Akane and Nabiki stepped outside to see what was happening.
                Dr. Tofu stopped running, a several blocks away, and silently
        cursed at the sight of the flower column... and then began to run
        faster.
                                        -=-=-
                Kasumi sneezed... then began to glow a golden aura.
                                        -=-=-
                Ranma dropped from the roof to see Kasumi lying on the floor
        of the doorway... she wasn't moving.  Ranma-chan quickly moved to 
        help her.  Ukyou ran up behind Ranma.
                "Ran-chan, what's happening?"  Ranma, out of concern for
        Kasumi, she ingored her.  Ryouga leapt in the way, growling.
                "RANMA!!!  NOW YOU- *<BASH!!>*"  Ukyou smashed Ryouga over
        the head, Ranma leapt past him and struck a few key pressure points
        on his back to freeze him.  She knelt down by Kasumi and shook her.
                "Kasumi?  Kasumi?  Are you okay?  Kasumi!"  Akane and Nabiki
        arrived.
                "Is she all right, Ranma?", Akane asked fearfully.
                "She's breathing... she'll be- AAAHHHHH!!!"  Ranma couldn't
        finish her sentance as they were all blown back by a powerful ki
        attack emminating from Kasumi.
                Ranma blacked out.
                                        -=-=-
                Ranma-chan quickly recovered finding herself several yards
        from where she was a moment ago and her body aching all over.  The
        front of the Tendo house was decimated and everyone was scattered
        about, most staggering to get up.  Looking about, Ranma saw only one 
        person standing... Kasumi.
                Kasumi stood in the middle of the blast area bathing in
        flames of pure energy.  Her body was surrounded by that golden aura
        that made it look like she was on fire.  Her hair whipped about
        madly and her clothes where tattered, one thigh exposed through a
        large tear in her dress.
                Kasumi's eyes glowed bright red and she had a sick smile on
        her face.  Ranma realized that this could not be good.
                                        -=-=-
                "...She *looks* alright-", said Ukyou hesitantly.
                "If you call that 'alright' I'd hate to see what you call
        wierd!", Nabiki interruptted.  The slightly battered group huddled
        to view Kasumi from a distance who merely stared at them and had this 
        expression of frozen laughter on her face.
                "What do we do?"
                "Try and talk with her?"
                "Okay, I'm game" Ranma broke the huddle and approached the
        red-eyed devil.
                "Hey Kasumi!  You okay?", Ranma-chan yelled from a distance.
        Kasumi cocked her head as if she just noticed the sound and turned
        toward Ranma, raising one finger that began to glow brightly.
                Instinct told Ranma to dodge.  It payed off... where she
        stood, seconds ago, was a patch of newly scorched earth.
                "Hey!  What's the big idea- YAAAAH!!", cried Ranma-chan as
        she dodged a series of yellow beams.  Akane ran forward.
                "Kasumi stop it!  You'll hurt Ranma!"  Kasumi opened her palm
        at Akane.  There was a bright flash and Akane was blown backwards.
        Luckily Ryouga caught her and growled.
                "That's not human... it's definitly not Kasumi!  We've got
        to stop it!  How dare you attack your own sister?!?!?"
                "I dare not strike a fair lady, but you, Demoness are spawn
        of Hell!!!  You have attacked the virtuos Akane Tendo, and for that
        you must feel the wrath of my awful blade!!!!", Kuno added.
                "Maybe if we take her down fast, we can find out what's
        wrong... Kasumi forgive me.", Ukyou said.
                The three attacked, Kuno leading point with his mighty
        bokken Ukyou and Ryouga to his sides.  Ukyou threw an array of 
        spatulas and Ryouga followed with a barrage of bandera shurikens.  
        The golden flame expanded, deflecting the projectiles then engulfing
        the attackers.  The three resisted the ki blast, continuing to charge
        as Ryouga took out his umbrella and Ukyou her giant spatula.  Kasumi
        sent out a second blast Kuno taking the brunt of it and Ryouga using 
        his umbrella to shield himself and Ukyou.  They were all blow back.
        Ryouga and Kuno landing unconscious and smoldering.  Ukyou survived, 
        having both Kuno and Ryouga as shields.
                "Shimatta!  Akane!  Nabiki!  Take Kuno and Ryouga inside and
        stay with them... we'll handle this."
                "I can take care of myself!", Akane said defiantly.
                "Nabiki will need help dragging them in.", Ranma countered.
                "Nabiki's never had trouble dragging helpless men about!"
                Ranma cursed, she didn't have time for this.  Well at least
        Akane was right about Nabiki... she already had them inside.
                "They went about it all wrong...", Hinako said, "You can't
        beat her with a physical attack, we need a ki one!"  She drew out
        her 50 yen piece and shouted.
                "HAPPO-NO-COIN-RETURN!!!!", firing a huge beam of pure energy
        towards the transformed Kasumi.  Kasumi was blasted back into the
        house and buried under the wreckage.  Miss Hinako stood panting,
        still in her adult form (the Passion Dust's ki increase allowed her
        to use excess energy and still maintain her form).
                "That ought to do it... she couldn't have possibly- eh?"
        Yellow beams of light began to eminate from the rubble until Kasumi
        suddenly burst forth with a seemingly angry glow and floated in mid-
        air.  The demoness spoke for the first time.
                "That... that *almost* hurt.", she laughed then quickly fired
        an energy assult against Hinako.  Hinako absorbed the hit entirly,
        her clothes tatters yet still tactfully placed.  Her teeth bared and
        her breathing heavy... Hinako looked mighty pissed.
                "That was my *favorite* yellow dress!!!  You forget, Witch,
        that I absorb ki like a sponge!  HAPPO-NO-COIN-RETURN!!!!"  This time
        Kasumi was ready, raising a shield.  She seemed to flich for a second
        but she waited until Hinako's attack subsided to retaliate.
                "So a ki attack doesn't affect you, eh?  I'll just have to
        try a different approach..."  She fired a beam which Miss Hinako
        deftly dodged... almost.
                Hinako's world exploded in light.  Her eyes closed, her back 
        arched, her head lightened and electricty spread from her thighs as
        she experienced the greatest orgasm of her life.  Her juices flooded 
        out, soaking her panties, as she fell to the ground, dazed.
                After the initial shock, her body filled with animal desire.
        She writhed on the ground, gripping her breasts and rubbing her legs
        together for any stimulus she could get.  Hinako knelt on the ground
        with her legs apart, driving her fingers into herself, and wracking
        her body with orgasm after orgasm.  She became a sobbing, sensual
        mess... useless in battle.
                "Like my new technique?", Kasumi smiled evily.
                "Ukyou!  Akane!  Don't let her nail you with that!"
                "*'Nail'*?  Hmm, 'nail'... how apropriate!", she laughed
        again, amused by her own joke.  A flash of light.  Then Ranma-chan
        found herself nailed to a tree by her shirt.
                "Kasumi, no!", cried Akane.  Kasumi blasted her with another
        ki attack, knocking her to the ground.  Akane attempted to to get up,
        groggily, then fell back down.
                Kasumi waved her hand and Ranma-chan was pantsless and a 
        phallic device, composed of energy, was ruthlessly being driven in 
        and out of her cunt.
                "AhAHH- U- OHH- Uky- OhAhh- Ukyou run!"  But Ukyou was frozen
        in place like a scared rabbit.  Ranma struggled not to conqured as
        Kasumi approached Ukyou, who couldn't seem to will herself to move.
                "Ahh, fresh meat... I've never had *you* before."  Ukyou
        broke out of her trance and tried to run but discovered that she was 
        floating in the air.  Ukyou floated higher until her crotch was level
        with Kasumi's face.  Ukyou struggled but her movements were extremely
        limited... she could only move as Kasumi desired.  She gasped as the
        demoness rubbed her face into her crotch.
                "P-please... don't-", she pleaded weakly.  This only futher
        excited Kasumi who pulled Ukyou's pants down to her knees.
                "Don't!  Please!  I'm not a les- *<gasp>* -Ranma help!",
        cried Ukyou as Kasumi pushed Ukyou's panties to the side and plunged
        her tounge into Ukyou's womanhood.
                "STOP!!!", Ukyou screamed as if possessed, "NOO!!" her cries
        converted to sobs as Kasumi ignored her.  Ukyou hung her head in
        shame and sorrow as she couldn't help but to respond to the stimulus
        Kasumi forced upon her.  She came forcefully, Kasumi lapping every
        drop up.
                "Leave her alone!", said Akane as she got to her feet.
                "Dear me!  I've been such a horrible host, I selfishly kept
        sweet Uchan all to myself... have a taste, sister!", said Kasumi in
        her normal voice, the effect sent chills down Akane's spine.  Ukyou's
        limp, sobbing body foated in a golden sphere which launched towards
        Akane.  Akane tried dodging but the bubble expanded so that Akane
        was caught inside with Ukyou.  Akane moved to Ukyou, putting a hand
        on Ukyou's shoulder.
                "Are you alright?"
                "D-d-don't *touch* me!", Ukyou stuttered.
                "Enough chit-chat!  This bubble will slowly begin to contract
        and crush you two to death if you don't begin to pleasure each other!
        I suggest you get started right away... give me a good show and I'll
        let you live for another game!"
                "Ukyou... Uchan... we- we have to-"
                "I'd rather die!  I *want* to die...", she muttered wrapping
        her arms, tightly, around herself.
                "Don't be selfish!  I *don't* want to die!  I don't want
        *you* to die!  Ranma doesn't want *either* of us to die!", Akane
        softened her voice, "I-I, we, have to... Ukyou... please... don't
        let me die... I want to live!"  Akane removed her clothes, unabashed,
        in front of Ukyou and moved to Ukyou.  Ukyou recoiled at the initial
        touch but allowed Akane to remove her clothes.
                "You have a beautiful body Ukyou... don't be ashamed of it. 
        I sometimes wish I looked more like you.  What we are about to do is
        forced upon us but we don't have to take it that way... you might be
        disgusted at first but I'll try to go as slow as possible."
                Akane pulled Ukyou's head between her legs and climbed
        underneath Ukyou and between her legs.  Akane hugged Ukyou's thighs
        and kissed the lips of Ukyou's sex.  Akane moved her tounge in
        circles around the entrance then parted it gentlely by pushing her
        tounge in.  She worked with her fingers, spreading the petals of
        Ukyou's flower and stimulating them.  Akane began to hear Ukyou gasp
        and she felt Ukyou's tears flow down the insides of her thighs.
        Ukyou hesitantly lowered her head and kissed Akane's damp mound.
        Ukyou kissed it again, this time more eagerly and Akane could feel
        her own tears beginning to flow... she had needed this so badly.
                It hadn't been that long a time and she was no longer
        addicted to the Passion Fever Dust but it was so difficult being with
        Ranma then not being able to be together knowing that everyone was
        getting some except for herself.  So she was extremely grateful for
        this release... she had to restrain herself from yelling, "Do it,
        Ukyou, do it!  Tounge fuck me harder!", and scaring the poor first
        timer.  Ukyou must have found it so disgusting to be licking another
        woman's slit, yet adapted quickly.  Akane was glad that it was Ukyou
        she was sharing this with and not Shampoo... Akane paused a second
        to look outside the bubble.  She suddenly noticed that they were
        high off the ground... very, very high.
                                        -=-=-
                Under diffrent circumstances this might have been fun... but
        right now, Ranma was getting just plain angry.  Ranma-chan reacted
        the sensation of her rape but not willingly... when Nabiki and Kasumi
        "raped" him before, he was always in control, he could leave at any
        time.  But now, she struggled to free herself.
                Her anger and the phallic device made it nearly impossible
        to focus... but Akane's image flashed in her mind.  Slowly, Ranma
        turned her anger into strength, tuning out the erotic sensations
        pounding her sex, and focusing on her escape.
                "AARGH!!!"
                She tore free of the knives, and her shirt, landing to the
        ground on her knees... the mystical shaft evaporated.  Ranma looked
        around to see that Kasumi was floating several hundred feet above
        watching Ukyou and Akane, and was too distracted to notice Ranma.
        Pulling on Ukyou's pants and wrapping the torn shirt around as a
        makeshift top... Ranma-chan felt slightly better.  Normally, she
        wouldn't care about her nudity but she didn't want to give the
        Kasumi-demon any ideas.
                "Ranma!", Tofu called, walking over the decimated front-gate.
                "Eh?  Dr. Tofu!  My God-"
                "Who is it?!?", Tofu cut her off shaking her roughly.
                "Huh?  All I know is that-"
                "Who is it?!?"
                "Who *what*?!"
                "Who has been affected by the Dust?!?"
                "There's so many... me, Akane, Nabiki, Kasumi, Hinako-"
                "Kasumi?!?!- Dammit, I wish you had told me this earlier.",
        he muttered, "Nevermind.  How many demons?"
                "Wha?- oh, just one... Kasumi."  Tofu's face seemed to melt.
                "Kasumi?  Oh no...", he held back the mist that threatened
        to steam up his glasses, "Where is she now?"
                "Up there.", she pointed.  Tofu couldn't see much except for
        two small specks... but the thought that he might be looking up
        Kasumi's dress caused him to go mad.  His eyes glazed over and his
        IQ dropped dangerously low as he began a silly dance.
                *<SLAP!!!>*
                "Snap out of it!!!  This is serious!!!", Ranma-chan scolded.
                "Ugh.  Thank you.", said Tofu rubbing his face, "Yes, of
        course.  That sample you gave me, I've been inadvertantly inhaling
        some of it.  Wait.", digging in his bag he pulled out a bottle of
        the Passion Dust, unscrewed its cap, poured all of it into his palm,
        then stuffed it all in his face... inhaling some, ingesting the
        rest.
                "What do you think you're doing?!?!!!"  Tofu cupped Ranma's
        breasts and squeezed.
                "Oh, these are *nice*!"
                *<SMACK!!!>*
                "HANDS TO YOURSELF!", Dr. Tofu was beginning to remind her
        of Kuno.
                "Oops, sorry... again.  I have to use that hentai dust to
        control my madness.  I'll be horribly perverted... but sane.  I'm
        not really a fighter either, so the Dust's ki raising ability
        should give me a bit of added protection."
                "What do we do now?"
                "I suggest we help her.", he said pointing toward the lust
        filled Hinako.  Tofu walked Ranma over to the masturbating teacher 
        with his hand on Ranma-chan's butt.  Ranma gritted her teeth and
        held in her attack... they didn't need any further delays.
                                        -=-=-
                Nabiki, sighed in frustration.  The world was about to be 
        destroyed and she wanted a last fuck... and here she was with two 
        great hunks who were unconscious and at the mercy of her will...
        and limp.  She peeked at their genitles and had to restrain a laugh
        at the sight of Ryouga's itty-bitty, teeny-weeny, -well you get the
        idea.  Kuno's on the other hand was a catch... longer, but thinner,
        than Ranma's (her hole was tight anyway).  But try as she might,
        she couldn't get him up, it seemed that Kuno hardened only on his
        command.
                "Well a small Willy is better than none..."  Nabiki moved
        on the still Ryouga, fondling his asoko.  Ryouga began to stir,
        murmuring Akane's name... then suddenly crying it out, bolting
        upright.  Nabiki gacked, a giant sweat drop forming on the back of
        her head... this was graceless.  Ryouga stared at the startled
        Nabiki, who still grasped his quickly hardening member, and decided 
        his mind couldn't handle this....  After all, he couldn't be gushing 
        away all his life-blood if he intended to save Akane... so he simply 
        ignored the situation.  He got up, adjusted his pants, and ran out to 
        save Akane.
                "Typical guy...", said Nabiki, regaining her composure, "Not
        even a 'thank you'!"  She silently wished she could be there when
        Ryouga decided to mentally face what had just happened then returned
        to the unreponsive Kuno.
                                        -=-=-
                Dr. Tofu sprayed Miss Hinako with his mixture cancling out
        the hentai ray that had zapped her.  His 'cure' wasn't quite a cure,
        instead, it surpressed the feelings that the Passion Fever Dust (or
        any other aphrodisica) caused.  Hinako out of gratefulness began to
        french kiss Tofu who eagerly recieved the thanks.  They were rolling
        on the ground before Ranma could break them up... just in time too,
        because Ryouga had arrived.
                Ryouga flinched slightly at the sight of Ranma's sparse top
        and Miss Hinako's tattered dress.  Recovering quickly, he roared.
                "WHERE'S AKANE!?!"  Ranma-chan pointed up.  Ryouga looked up
        seeing nothing but two specks.
                "So what do we do?", Ranma asked.
                *<SPLASH>*
                "YAAHHH H-H-HOTT!!:
                "First we get you out of that *STUPID* form!"  Ryouga dowsed
        Ranma in kettle water.  The pants stretched and the top fell off.
                "Ryouga's right... we need you at full strength.", Ryouga
        smirked, Ranma made a funny face, and Ryouga growled, Hinako bopped
        them both on the head.  "I need to think... Miss Hinako, could you
        possibly put something on less -ah -distracting?"
                "No, I'm quite fine.", she said, completely missing the point
        of his request.
                "Nevermind.  Yes... you three should be enough... just enough
        to hold her off."
                "Hold her off for what?", Ryouga demanded.
                "Well, typically, demons are very sensual creatures of an
        alternate dimension... so it only figures that a extremely hentai
        person combined with a bright battle aura, large ki, and Rylagia
        pollen (standard demon-summoning powder) would be like a signal
        flare for possession.  A person with a strong mind can usually turn
        aside such an attack but a person under the influence of the Dust
        could be easily be manipulated through the lusts of the flesh.
                What you three must do is battle the demon after I excise
        it temporarily from Kasumi's body until I can heal her.  Once she
        is healed, she'll have to raise her own mental defenses.  Demons 
        have short attention spans so they don't like to cling to minds
        they can't control..."  Dr. Tofu proceeded to describe in detail
        his plan.
                                        -=-=-
                Kasumi watched gleefully as Akane and Ukyou ate each other.
                <How diverting... but it's getting a bit droll.  I should
        add something to this->
                "Hey!", she said slightly miffed as a ki attack just missed
        her.  Two more beams followed the third striking her squarely on
        the chest.  Kasumi grinned.  <Ah, Round Two.  This should be fun...>
                "Hah!", exclaimed Hinako several hundred feet below, "I got
        her!  I'm a good shot, no?"  She puffed at the tip of her imaginary
        pistol and winked at Tofu, who blushed.  Ryouga held back his comment
        that it took her three shots to nail Kasumi.
                "Okay, that got her attention.  Get ready!  Here she comes!!"
                                        -=-=-
                "Hark!  Sounds of battle!  I must- ewweeeep", Kuno faltered
        in his wake-up speech when he realized he was buck-naked.  "GAHHGH!!"
        Kuno quickly hid behind the first thing he could find... which just
        happened to be Nabiki.
                "Don't turn around!!!"
                "Whatsa matter Kuno-baby?", Nabiki said, obviously enjoying
        herself.
                "Give me my clothes you heathen woman!"
                "*What* did you call me?"  Kuno gritted his teeth in attempt
        to humble himself.
                "I... said... my dear- sweet-", Kuno looked as if he would
        die from complementing Nabiki any further, "Nabiki.  Give me- excuse 
        me- *Please* give me my clothes!"
                "There... was that so hard?" she tossed him his clothes and
        he was instantly dressed.
                "*YES*.", he said... he cleared his throat and held his
        bokken up, "As I was saying... Hark!  Sounds of battle!  I must-"
        Nabiki grabbed then end of his bokken.  "Eh?!? How dare you touch my
        honorable blade!?!  You know that I *hate* you so very, very much...
        What is it you want you-"
                Nabiki put a finger to her lips and shushed him.  She guided
        the wooden tip under her skirt and shifted.  A strange expression
        came to her face and she began to pump the wooden sword under her
        skirt.  She shuddered then wet sounds began to come from her nether
        regions.  Kuno's eye went wide as Nabiki pulled the bokken out, wet
        and sticky.  Nabiki smiled sweetly as if nothing had happened.
                "Thank you... you're boken's nice... let's see how your
        asoko is, okay?"
                                        -=-=-
                The first blast scattered the group.  Kasumi screeched like
        a angered banshee.
                "Now!", Tofu signaled.  Ryouga and Hinako began alternating
        their ki attacks... if Kasumi dodged one she would be nailed by the
        other.  After she was stunned by a few blows, Tofu whirled the bag
        of powders over his head and flung it at Kasumi.
                Instinctively, Kasumi shot it with a hot beam and the bag and
        its contents exploded in a blue mist.  But its momentum let the mist
        continue forward until it engulfed Kasumi.  The air around Kasumi
        began to crackle and her body twisted as she screamed.  Kasumi's
        body fell to the ground limply as a demon, who looked like it was
        composed completely out of yellow lightning, left her body.
                The demon took a look at its attackers and growled then
        tried to re-enter Kasumi but was blocked by the blue mist.  It huffed
        and puffed and blew the mist away.  It grinned and prepared to dive
        back into Kasumi-
                "SHISHIHOKODAN!!!!"
                "HAPPO-NO-COIN-RETURN!!!!"
                "HIRYUSHOTENHA!!!!!"
                                        -=-=-
                Dr. Tofu ran up to the unconscious Kasumi.  Repeated ki
        attacks against her body had left her clothes in a state similar to
        Hinako's which made it almost as bad for the hentai doctor as if
        he were mad.  He gazed longingly at her body before snapping back to
        reality and the situation at hand.
                He would be useless to her if all he wanted to do was grope
        her.  He had to administer the cure.  Spraying himself with some of
        the mixture he fought back the clown-like grin that threatened to
        spread across his face and the clouded glasses he got whenever in
        the presence of Kasumi.
                He unscrewed the dispenser then poured the cure between her
        soft lips.  Tofu could feel his face begin to tighten... NO!  He had
        to hold back the madness until Kasumi woke up.
                "K-Kasumi... p-p-please wake up!"
                                        -=-=-
                The immense amount of power in the air was enough to wipe out
        several city blocks.  The three humans and the demon engaged in a
        kind of tug-of-war... blasting their most powerful ki attacks seeing
        who's would falter first.  This was the longest attack of this sort
        any of the three had ever mustered.   Ryouga and Ranma with their ki
        attacks and Hinako in the center, sucking any of their wasted energy
        and redirecting and focusing it forward.  All three knew they that
        they couldn't keep this up.  When they failed, the enormous blast
        that would follow would, without fail, destroy them all.
                The demon laughed... it was having fun.
                                        -=-=-
                All was great!  All was fine!  He wanted to sing!  He wanted
        to dance!  He wanted to make little animals out of- *<wack,wack,wack
        wack,wack,wack!>*  Tofu slapped himself across the face, repeatedly, 
        to regain his senses.  He knew he couldn't last- Ya pa pa ya pa pa-
        Shimatta!!  Tofu no baka!!!
                He had to do something quick... but he couldn't think, all
        his strength was devoted towards holding back the madness.  He
        gritted his teeth as sweat broke out on his brow.  Any moment now
        and he would loose all sanity.  He had to do something!
                He kissed her... then he leapt up in search of a skeleton
        he could sling to his back.  Kasumi's stirred, her eyes fluttered
        open, and her lips parted to speak.
                "Oh my!", she gasped.
                                        -=-=-
                Hinako fainted.
                "Shit!  We need you, get up!", Ranma cursed.  The demon
        roared in triumph as his attack started to plow through Ranma's
        and Ryouga's.  Ryouga closed his eyes... then opened them.  Nothing.
        He was still alive!  The demon screamed then disappeared in a flash.
        Ranma fell to his knees but Ryouga jumped into the air.
                "Yahoo!!  We kicked ass!!!"  He looked down to where Ranma
        had been kneeling then looked up.  Ranma was sprinting forward.
                <What does he think he's-> then it dawned on him <Akane.>
        Ryouga begin sprinting after Ranma.
                                        -=-=-
                Ukyou panted.  As nice as this was, she wouldn't be able to
        keep this up much longer.  She was getting tired and cramped.  They
        had paused a few times to take much needed breaks but that only
        constricted the bubble.  She lifted her head from Akane's mound.
                "Akane, we're not going to make it."
                "Don't talk... lick."
                "Ranma doesn't love me... does he?"
                "Uchan, you're one of his best friends-"
                "But he doesn't love me... I think I-"  Whatever she might
        have said was cut off by a sudden flash and the explosion of the
        bubble.  The two girls were flung apart and began to fall.  Ukyou
        blacked out.
                                        -=-=-
                When she came to she had the distinct feeling she was falling.
        Her heart raced and threatened to leave via her throat, the wind roared
        past her ears, and her body was gripped with fear.  Absolute terror
        kept her from screaming.  <It's okay... Ranma will save me.>  She
        thought in her last seconds of life.  She looked down and somehow
        all her senses were enhanced.  She could clearly see Ranma looking
        up at her and mouthing the words, "Forgive me."
                Ukyou understood... he would save Akane.
                                        -=-=-
                Ryouga ran for all he was worth.  Already side by side with
        Ranma, all he needed was a bit more speed, a few more steps, and he
        would be in position to save Akane.  She would be eternally grateful
        and she would be his at last!
                Then he noticed Ukyou to his right.  Ranma had completely
        ignored Ukyou!  He was still in a position to save her but that
        would mean loosing Akane... to Ranma!  But that was it, wasn't it?
        Loosing to Ranma was worse than loosing Akane.  He had always liked
        Akane because she was nice to him... but then, Ukyou was nice to
        him too.
                In the end, he liked Akane because she was Ranma's.  Dispite
        how they acted, he knew, everyone knew, they loved each other...
        taking her away from Ranma would be the ultimate revenge while sweet
        in its own rewards.  But it was all because of Ranma... he wouldn't
        make the mistake again.  He picked up speed and headed off to catch
        the falling okonomiyaki cook.
                                        -=-=-
                Ukyou watched the ground speed up faster and faster until
        she couldn't bear it anymore.  She closed her eyes and waited for
        the instant death.  Suddenly, strong arms were wrapped around her
        as she was caught in mid-air.  <Ranma saved me!>  She threw her
        arms around the neck of her savior and planted a passionate kiss on
        his lips.  She gasped for breath.
                "Ranma!  You had- ...Ryouga?!??...", she realized.
                Ryouga held a beautiful, naked woman in his arms that had
        just kissed him full on the mouth... the collective shock of all the
        day's hentai (and non-hentai) events were too much.
                His nose became a geyser of red and he fainted.
                Ukyou looked over to Ranma who was cradling a weeping Akane
        in his arms... she wasn't sure but was Ranma crying too?  She decided
        to leave them alone.  Wrapping some makeshift clothes about herself,
        she dragged her "hero" home to dress his wounds.
                                        -=-=-
                Aha!  Fate was certainly on his side!  Not only had his Pig-
        tailed Goddess expressed interest in him but so had the honorable
        Akane Tendo's elder sister Nabiki... and with such enthusiasm!  He
        would have them all: Akane, the Pig-tailed girl, Nabiki, and Hinako-
        sensi.  After all, they all wanted him... it was only fair to give
        them what they wanted.  Yes he would-
                *<Vrroooommmmssshh!!>*
                *<CRASH!!!!>*
                Something hit Kuno on the head very, very hard.
                Much later, he regained consciousness.  Kuno could not
        recall a single thing that had happened to him in the last 24 hours.
        Except for one thing... a little man falling from the heavens, right
        into his face.  Was that a dream?  Kuno didn't care, he just wanted
        to get home a tend to the large, unsightly bump on his head.
                                        -=-=-
                "So they won't remember a thing?", Ranma looked down at the
        sleeping forms of Nabiki, Kasumi, and Hinako-chan.
                "They won't remember any of the time they were under the
        effects of the Passion Dust.", Tofu corrected, "...and neither will
        I, I'm taking the amnesia potion as well.  It is for the best if I
        want to ever become Kasumi's husband."
                "But they're all cured?"
                "They'll have a few urges, a few naughty dreams... but those
        withdrawal symptoms will pass and they'll all be back to normal in
        no time...  Ranma, will you and Akane be taking the amnesia potion?"
                "Dr. Tofu, I... I don't want to forget."
                "I understand but I feel that you were forced into each other
        too fast.  There are greater rewards with waiting..."
                "I don't want to forget... besides, Ukyou wasn't under the
        influence of the Dust, who's gonna help her forget?  Someone has to 
        fix the mess I created with her."
                "Well it's your decision... Akane?"
                "I'm with Ranma."
                "Well then, I'll be seeing you later with a new blissful
        ignorance... cheers!"  Tofu downed the solution and quickly fell
        into a deep sleep.  Akane and Ranma watched them sleep for a while
        until Akane broke the silence.
                "Ranma?"
                "Yeah?"
                "Where's Ukyou and Ryouga?"
                                        -=-=-
                "He didn't even try...."
                "I've lost her forever."
                Then simultaneously "She doesn't love me." "He doesn't love 
        me."  They groaned in unison.  Ryouga and Ukyou were sitting at a
        table in her restaurant.  It was closed and the lights were off to
        amplify their depression.  Ukyou looked over at Ryouga and thought
        that he looked absolutely pitiful.  Feeling sorry for him she pulled 
        out a large black bottle of some unknown liquid.
                "Here, drink this, it'll melt the enamel off your teeth and
        leave it on the roof of your mouth... good stuff to drown your
        sorrows in."  Ryouga smiled slightly.
                "Where'd you pick up a line like that?"  Ukyou smiled back.
                "I don't know.... I think I read it somewhere.  My father
        drinks this stuff whenever he really has problems."  Ryouga shook 
        his head and pushed the bottle away.
                "I don't drink."
                "Neither do I.", she said, pushing the bottle back and taking
        out two cups.  Ryouga opened the bottle and coughed at the strong
        smell coming from it.  Out poured a thick black substance.  Ryouga
        stuck his finger in the viscous drink and examined the residue.
                "Is this stuff *safe*?"
                "One way to find out..."
                                        -=-=-
                "...So I says, 'Of course I'm a pig!' HAR HAR HAR!!", slurred
        a red-nosed Ryouga while pounding the table at his joke.  Ukyou fell
        off her seat and giggled.
                "What I can't understand is why he doesn't see me as a
        woman!  I've got all the qualifications!", she showed her breasts to
        him.  Ryouga squeezed one of the samples.
                "Ghad... whatta set!  Ranma can't tell when he's gotta a
        catch, I tell ya...he can't tell."
                "Leave Ran-chan outta this Pig!"  She took a swing at one of
        the three Ryougas she saw and picked wrong.  She collapsed into
        Ryouga's lap.
                "Hey!"  Ukyou squinted to make sure.
                "What?!", Ryouga yelled slightly.
                "Ranma's got one of these!", she exclaimed while grasping his

                The next morning Ryouga woke with the most painful headache
        of his entire life.  Wincing in pain he struggled to get up.  He
        stumbled into a table, knocking it over.  A bowl of cold left-over 
        soup spilled on him transforming him into the piglet, P-chan.
                <Where am I?>  The piglet bounced drunkenly between table legs
        until he somehow found himself outside.  Ryouga couldn't think of
        anything he did in the last few days... <Bah... must be suffering
        from a Sinnosekae syndrome.>
                                        -=-=-
                Ukyou got up unsteadily from the floor of her okonomiyaki
        restaurant.  She rubbed her temples trying to recall why she had such
        a splitting headache.  The loss of several million brain-cells didn't
        quite help her memory... not only that, but she couldn't remember
        what she had been doing for the past week.  Oh well.  No matter...
        she was sure it would come to her later.  Right now she needed some
        aspirin.
                Ukyou looked down and noticed that her blouse was wide open, 
        she covered up and had the distinct feeling she did something bad 
        that was good (or was it something good that was bad) had occurred
        last night.  She picked up an empty bottle of "Forget Your Sorrows
        Sake" and examined it.
                "Hm... I wonder what this is doing out here?"
                                        -=-=-
                Soun and Genma arrived home from their trip and looked at
        the devastation.  Soun wailed like a baby.
                                        -=-=-
                Ranma fell back onto his futon and looked up at the stars.
        It was actually kinda nice to be missing a roof.  He had given up
        his bed to Akane... she deserved it.  Everything was great.  Kasumi,
        Nabiki, and Miss Hinako would be back to their old selves, Dr. Tofu
        had another chance at Kasumi, and the damages to the house would be
        covered.
                Yup, everything was fine but a few things were weird....
        Kasumi seemed fine.  Miss Hinako reverted to her child-like form 
        (to the sadness of many of the teenage boys) and resumed her 
        "normal" mentality.  But Kuno stopped chasing Akane and his 
        Pig-tailed girl (which was fine with Ranma) and instead started 
        harassing Nabiki (which was fine with Nabiki $$$ but not with him 
        since Kuno still visited the Tendo Dojo).
                Another odd thing was that Ukyou seemed to forget their
        "moment" together as Ryouga, too, forgot his broken heart.  The two
        still chased after Ranma and Akane but they often did it in pairs
        and seemed to have an affinity toward each other.
                Ah well, Ranma was sure things would sort themselves out...
        with Akane at his side, nothing could be wrong.  Finally Ranma began
        to drift asleep... but wait a moment... wasn't Hentosai cursed to
        follow Ryouga?  Hadn't Ryouga returned?  Oh no.
                                        -=-=-
                Kasumi lay her head down to sleep... her eyes glowed green
        and a soft chuckle escaped her throat.  It was not over.

         Author's Notes
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                Well my patient readers... you've made it to the end!  This
        story was written based on a vague plot of adding Ukyou to Ranma's
        growing harem but as you can see, it didn't quite turn out that way!
        Instead I ended up resetting the entire cast to almost-normal...
        with the intention of making it easier to do whatever is to come
        next (The end of LP#2 made this one harder).  Many things came out
        differently than I had expected as I wrote this on the fly (Like the
        *length* of stories growing exponentially!!!)... but I had much more
        fun doing this than I had expected.
                Many thanks to Amber for not killing me when she found this
        (and other fics)... and instead, helping me to write this!  (I've
        never met a more hentai girl! *<Whack!>* Ow! Or violent! *<Smack!>*
        Stop it, Amber!  I'm kidding!)  Many apologies to Francis who did
        all he could to stop Ryouga from being in this FanFic.  (Hey, don't
        worry... I *promise* to kill Ryouga in a later story!)  And it has
        become a tradition, honor, and privilege to mention SHADE in my
        Notes... thanks!
                Special thanks to all those who comment and write in ideas
        and corrections.  You people help my writing and when I'm "creating"
        your ideas are floating around in my head... the more you write,
        often, the more influence you have over the fanfic.  So please send
        me your comments, corrections, ideas, and well-tempered flames.
                Well I've given you a small peek as to what's coming up in
        the next (or next two... if my stories get too big I'll split them)
        story.  It's Kasumi versus Hentosai and the appearance of Ranko...
        and she's not who you think!  Against the suggestion of several
        readers, I'm still intending to do Sailor Moon and Violent Video
        Game Gals stories... so if you like these ideas, show your support!
