The Attractiveness Factor
by PhoneyNT
-
Ranma held Shampoo back away from Akane, who was already bleeding profusely
from a million little wounds all over her.
"Shampoo! Stop it, can't you see she's not even in your league?"
"Ranma, you'll pay for that," thought Akane.
"Honestly, Shampoo! You can't just go around beating people up!"
"Ugly girl! My future husband want me to not kill you now. Will do later!"
Shampoo backed up. She turned and smiled her cutest smile at Ranma. He
wasn't even looking at her.
Ranma grabbed Akane's hand and ran off towards the Tendo house. Shampoo's
jaw dropped in astonishment. Had she just not shown how pathetic the ugly
girl really was? And yet it was the pathetic hand that he took!
-
Cologne was waiting for Shampoo at the Cat Cafe.
"Where were you, granddaughter? I was swamped with customers."
"I was trying to get Ranma to marry me again, but he ran off with that uncute
girl!"
"Ah. Shampoo! You must not use conventional Amazon methods anymore!
I trust you to think of something. You are an intelligent Amazon!
"Thanks, Great-Grandmother!"
"Now get to work."
-
A chaos-filled week passed.
The business day on Friday closed as usual, and Cologne was in the back
re-organizing her things and tidying up Shampoo's room. Underneath the
pillow on the futon, she found a book titled "Endorphinmachine #1: Lovesick."
Her eyes narrowed and she went off in search of Shampoo.
-
"Ow! But Great-Grandmother, I--"
"You will not dishonor the Amazon name this way, Shampoo!"
"Oh, Shampoo! I always had such a high opinion of you, my love! The foul
Saotome drives you to this impurity!" Mousse cried.
"Ow! Listen! I was--"
"Don't say anything else, girl!"
"Shampoo! Turn your mind away from filth!"
"As long as Ranma lives--"
"I said, shut your mouth!" Cologne's stick slapped Shampoo's lips.
"Why did you not come to me before you indulged in sinful literature?" Mousse
asked before being punted out of the room with half his robes stuffed in his
mouth.
-
Shampoo sulked in her room.
"You'd think she'd at least be proud of my Japanese reading ability," she
muttered to herself. "Oh well, maybe now I can think of a plan to get
Ranma."
She tried to figure something out, but her mind was a complete blank.
Then it filled with images from the novel she had been reading. Forbidden-
type pictures swirled through her mind. Shampoo tried to shut them out.
Suddenly, everything clicked into place.
"That's how I'll get Ranma!" Shampoo exclaimed.
-
At midnight, Shampoo sneaked out of the Cat Cafe, going to great lengths to
avoid getting near Cologne. She suspected her great-grandmother would not
listen seriously to her for the next couple days.
"A night or two of passion, and I can steal him away from Akane! Just like
the girls in 'Lovesick!'"
She biked at high speed for the Tendo house. As soon as she reached it, she
rode around to the backyard, then flipped off her bike onto a windowsill. She
peered in.
"Now, whose room is this?" Shampoo looked at the sleeping figure, but could
not recognize it in the dark. Then she identified the poster on one of the
walls: a chinese businessman who had struck it rich. "Nabiki," she decided.
The next room was a complete mess. There were barbells and books strewn
all over the place, and the window had a look like it had just been replaced.
"Akane," Shampoo inferred.
Up she went onto the roof so she could get to the other side of the house.
On the way over, she tripped over something.
"Ow! Ow!" Her body bumped over the crest of the roof and she had to press
her palms against the rooftop to keep from sliding.
Shampoo looked backwards to see what she had tripped over. It was the object
of her dreams.
"Ahh!" she gasped. Ranma was in female form, and looked like a complete mess
as if someone had beat her up before she went to bed. Shampoo made a mental
note to kill the tomboy one of those days.
Remembering her plan, Shampoo slipped into the futon and snuggled against
Ranma-chan. Not knowing what to do, she pulled another porn novel from
her pocket.
"Hmmm...mm hmmm...uh huh..."
She turned over and started to place kisses on Ranma-chan's sleeping face,
when she heard a set of footsteps on the roof.
"Ranma?" asked Akane, "Did you fall or something?" She looked down. There
was Ranma...with Shampoo in her futon.
"Ranma!" she yelled. "You pervert!" She slammed the futon and both
occupants fell off the roof.
The novel flapped around in the wind. It caught Akane's attention. She
picked it up. "Ranma is such a pervert...reading this stuff..."
As if to affirm the nastiness of the novel, she read a paragraph, then went
back down to her room while reading the rest of the page, chiding herself
but not daring to look away from the book.
-
Akane's eyes moved up and down over and over.
The words she read turned into paragraphs which turned into pages which
turned into chapters which turned into parts...
Soon, she was asleep, still clutching the book in her right hand and her
nightshirt in the other hand.
-
The next day, after sending Shampoo back to the Cafe (they had woken up in
the morning, both unconcious from the fall from the roof), Ranma entered
the house. He walked into the bath and came out five minutes later as a male
with a blue towel wrapped around his waist.
"Stupid tomboy. I wasn't even awake."
Akane emerged from her room. She glanced at Ranma.
"What do you want, Akane?"
Akane just looked at him. "Wow," she thought, "he has really nice muscles."
"Wha-what's wrong?"
Akane was lost in thought at what she could do with those muscles.
"Akane!! Wake up!" Ranma passed a hand over Akane's eyes.
She brushed him aside...with her upper body, and went into the bathroom.
Ranma just stood in shock, then gulped. "Wh-what's gotten into her now?"
-
Shampoo talked to, or rather, at Cologne.
"Great-grandmother, I've already started putting my plan into action!"
"Very nice, Shampoo. Just don't get any more sick ideas. I'm still ashamed
of you and will be until you do double-duty work for two weeks or get Ranma
before then. Now get to work!"
Shampoo grabbed the delivery boxes and chuckled to herself. "If I can get
far enough in the seduction process before he wakes up tonight, just like in
the book, he'll be powerless to resist me!"
-
Akane mulled things over at breakfast, not saying a word to Ranma.
"Maybe that's what he sees in those other two hussies. They are somehow...
sensual. They radiate attractiveness. Now I know Shampoo's secret. I must
get more of these great novels, too...and then I can be sensual like
Shampoo." Akane decided.
"Akane! Can you hear me?" Ranma persisted.
Akane silenced him with a wave of her hand. The rest of the Tendo family
sighed with relief.
"No fighting today, Ranma?" quipped Nabiki.
"They're finally getting along!" Kasumi smiled.
"Ranma likes them because he knows they can offer him more in ... that way ...
than I can. But that'll change. Soon I'll know more about sensuality and
attractiveness than they'll *ever* learn! He won't call me a tomboy anymore!"
Akane smiled in a funny way.
"Akane!!! Wake up!" yelled Ranma.
"Better yet...if I can seduce him tonight, he will feel committed to me, will
like me just he likes them, and he'll know that his best choice is..." Akane
didn't complete her thought with "me," in her usual contradictory denial of
having any feelings for Ranma."
"But maybe he won't like me coming on so strong, but then again, the guys in
the book showed that most males like their girlfriends to like it...!"
Ranma was exasperated by now. "Akane...I have something to say to you."
Akane came to. "What do you want?"
"I want to know that if I did something to you to make your tomboyish self
ignore me, you could at least tell me what I did--ouch!" he flew through
the ceiling.
"But he can still be such a jerk!" Akane fumed.
-
Akane and Shampoo left the same bookstore, both paying 200% extra to get the
books past the checkout counters. Neither one saw the other.
"I have the tomboy beat in cooking, and I can't lose once I open
the door to true pleasure for him...! Ranma will love me so much afterwards,
he will marry me and come back with me to China!"
"The best two ways to a man's heart are food and this! I can be good at
'this' in no time! Ranma will forget about those two idiots when I get
through with him!"
-
To be continued...! Will it turn out LEMON or not?
That depends on YOUR feedback!
Plus, I have never seen a fanfic with this particular plot. If there is one,
please inform me so I can discontinue this story. I don't want to re-do the
already-done.
