Marital Arts 5 - Part 2
Ranma walked back to the dojo with Ranko and Akane.
Akane: "What was it, Ranma?"
Ranma: "I don't want to talk about it."
Akane: [indignant] "I told you that I couldn't swim. I thought we
were going to be open with each other."
Ranma: "Well..."
Ranko: "It wasn't anything. Nope. Nothing."
Ranko covered Ranma's mouth with her hands and ran off with him
to the dojo. Akane watched them go off and figured that whatever it
was that affected Ranma must affect Ranko as well. A small pig
wearing a yellow collar wandered onto the road in front of her while
dragging a backpack behind it.
Akane: "Hi Ryoga. Did you make it home?"
Ryoga: "Bwee!"
Ryoga shook his head "no".
Akane: "Well, you look tired, so why don't I take you back to the
dojo... and Ranko."
Akane smiled as Ryoga blushed, which looked peculiar in his present
form. Ryoga followed her as they walked back to the dojo.
***************
Ranko: "Are you crazy, Ranma? I don't want them knowing about
that!"
Ranma: "But... we did... I mean..."
Ranko: "They'll laugh at us until they choke."
Genma came running by and dragged Ranma to the dojo, throwing
him to the floor.
Genma: "Today, I will start training you from the beginning."
Ranma: "What's this all about? C'mon, what?"
Genma: "I heard about it. How you screamed and were found
unconscious. I didn't raise my son to be so fragile."
Genma leapt into the air and kicked at Ranma, who dodged.
Ranma: "Wait a minute, that was..."
Akane: "What was it?"
Ranma gets kicked to the floor while distracted. Akane enters the
dojo, followed by Ranko holding a happy Ryoga against her breasts.
Akane: "Mr. Saotome! Does Ranma really have a weak spot?"
Genma: "Well, he is..."
Ranko kicks a bucket of water so that it hits Genma's head,
transforming him into a panda.
Ranko: "Would you mind keeping your nose out of our business?"
Akane: [angry] "Don't talk to me like that! Can't you even trust
me?"
Ranma: "We... we can't."
Akane: "What?"
Ranma: "And there's a very good reason. Take a look."
Ranma smashes the floor of the dojo and pulls up Gosunkugi, who is
in the middle of giving himself a tetanus shot.
Ranma: "See?"
**************
Ranko went to the furo to the knowing smile of her mother, who
tacitly informed both her and Ryoga that she knew exactly what was
going on. Ryoga's eyes widened as he watched Ranko undress in
front of him. He had seen her naked after their lovemaking, but this
time she did a little striptease for him.
Ranko: "Did you miss me? I missed you."
Ranko poured hot water onto Ryoga, changing him back to human
form. Before he could react, she started to soap his body with the
washtowel. Ranko ran the washtowel over his chest and legs, finally
stopping at his erect manhood. The rough texture of the washtowel
scraped against the sensitive skin and Ranko took the opportunity to
both stroke his manhood in her hand and kiss him simultaneously.
Ryoga was disappointed when Ranko stopped to pour hot water over
their bodies, rinsing both of them off. She handed the washtowel to
Ryoga and turned her back to him.
Ranko: "Its your turn, now."
Ryoga started to lather Ranko's back. He really wanted to lay her
onto the floor and make love to her, but bathing each other was fun,
and he knew that they'd get there eventually. Ranko scooted over and
pressed her body to his; she took his hands in her own and started to
scrub her breasts. Ranko could feel his arousal trapped between their
bodies.
Ranko reached over and got some hot water to wash the soap off.
She turned around and started to slide down Ryoga's body, his
aroused manhood tracing a path across her stomach and through her
breasts. Ryoga couldn't believe how lucky he was to be involved with
such a sensuous woman. His nosebleeding seemed to be a thing of
the past as well.
Ranma's scream came floating in from outside. Ryoga jumped up
and started to run toward the scream, wanting to find out what had
scared Ranma so badly, possibly being able to use it against him in
the future. Ryoga no longer hated Ranma, but he still owed him a
fight. Ranko cursed to herself as Ryoga's wet body slipped from her
grasp.
Ranko: "Ryoga, you dummy!"
Ranko splashed Ryoga with cold water, turning him into his pig
form. Ryoga went bouncing off out of the house. Ranko quickly
dried herself off and ran off after him.
**************
Gosunkugi heard Ranma's scream of terror and ran toward the source
of the noise. He was quickly trampled and knocked unconscious by
the members of the Tendo household.
**************
Ranma lay unconscious on the ground with a cat on his chest.
Kasumi: "Hanachiyo! There you are!"
Akane: "Ranma!"
Kasumi picked the cat off of Ranma's body. Genma filled a bucket of
water and threw it on Ranma.
Genma: "Coward! And you call yourself a man?"
Ranma and Ranko: "Shut up! This is all your fault!"
Genma: "Oh, so?"
Genma held a cat in his hands. Ranma and Ranko both fled behind
other people.
Nodoka: "Dearest, what do they mean that its your fault?"
Genma gulped.
**************
Everyone sat around the living room table, except for Ryoga, who in
his pig form was being held on top of the table by Ranko.
Genma: "When my children were ten years old, I decided to train
them in the method of the Cat-Fist."
Nabiki: "The Cat-Fist?"
Genma: "Yes. Take fish sausages, tie it around the trainees, and
throw them into a pack of hungry cats!"
Kasumi: "Goodness!"
Soun: "How vigorous."
Genma: "This manual led me to do it. But it contained a terrible
trick."
Genma showed the others a combat manual. Soun took it and opened
it to the description of the Cat-Fist.
Soun: "But... what?"
Genma: "Turn the page."
Soun turned the page, only to read that the teaching technique that
Genma used was described as "a teaching technique that would be
used only by a total idiot."
Genma: "I fell for it completely."
Ranko and Ranma: [hitting Genma] "What a stupid father."
Genma: "Oh?"
Genma pulls out a cat, and the twins retreat to a safe distance. Soun
and Nabiki start to place cats on the twin's bodies.
Nabiki: "I can't believe it. Are you two really afraid of a couple of
little cats?"
Kasumi: "You're not really afraid are you? They're so cute."
Genma: "No! No! No!"
Genma starts to leave, but is stopped by Nodoka, who looks at her
husband with a disapproving expression on her face.
Nodoka: "And what else is there to this story, husband?"
Genma: "Um... I tried to combat the fear of cats by tying dried
sardines and throwing them into the pit of hungry cats, then
salted sardines. I even tried fish cakes. Each new failure
tore up my heart."
Nodoka: [very angry] "What about our children?"
Genma: "And that training produced yet another tragedy!"
Kasumi: "You mean there's more?"
Genma: "When they're fear of cats come to a peak, they yowl."
Soun: "They yowl?"
Genma: "At that point... they are uncontrollable."
Kasumi: "How terrifying."
***************
Akane smiled as she placed wet towels on Ranma's and Ranko's
forehead.
Ranma and Ranko: "Get them off! Get them off!"
Akane: "Don't let it worry you two. Its cute to have a little weak
spot."
***************
Kasumi: "Stay in here, Hanachiyo. Don't frighten Ranma anymore."
Kasumi put Hanachiyo into a cat carrier and left for the kitchen.
Gosunkugi crept up and opened it to look in. Hanachiyo reacted and
Gosunkugi screamed. He left the dojo with a scarred face.
Gosunkugi: "Just you wait, Saotome. I will soon lead you into feline
hell!"
***************
Nabiki entered Ranko's room as Gosunkugi's scream floated in the
air. Everyone thought it was Genma, so they ignored it.
Nabiki: "Are they still frightened of those cats?"
Akane: "They're still a little jumpy."
Nabiki: "Well, there is a way to calm them down..."
Nabiki and Akane looked knowingly at each other. Akane suddenly
remembered who else was in the room.
Akane: "Ryoga!"
Nabiki: "Ryoga?"
Akane poured some hot water on Ryoga to turn him back to his naked
human form. He immediately tried to hide his private parts as he
searched for the spare set of clothes he left in the room. From below
came Kasumi's voice telling them that dinner was ready.
***************
Dr. Tofu entered the dojo. Kasumi hugged him as he entered and
they walked holding each other's hands.
Kasumi: "How was your day?"
Dr. Tofu: "Tiring. But I saw all the patients you scheduled for home
visits."
Kasumi: "Too tired for..."
Dr. Tofu: [nodding] "I'm sorry."
Kasumi: "Don't be sorry." [puts her arm around his waist and draws
closer as they walk] "Its not as if I need it as often as we do
it."
Dr. Tofu: "You don't?"
Kasumi: "But it is nice how often you want to do it."
