                Amist a halo of green flames, Ranma *floated* above the stone
        floor.  Energy leaked from his eyes and his fists were white hot.
        The inferno surrounding him was obviously intense... the ground below
        him was already beginning to break up and float upwards, pulled by
        some otherworldly force.
                "Impossible."
                Actually, it was completely possible.  After toppling into
        Hentosai's Passion Fever pool, Ranma's ki level was raised beyond
        anything Ranma had ever experienced before.  His wounds were
        insignificant compared to the power he held.  The perversion of the
        Passion Fever became negated by the ki raising effects... Ranma was
        above such bodily lusts.
                "DIE!!!!", Hentosai yelled as he fired a huge bolt of energy
        at Ranma.  Ranma disappeared in a mushroom cloud.  "Hmph!  Not so
        tough after all!"  Hentosai turned back to his victim.  Hinako
        screamed out loud as he bent down to kiss her.  Suddenly, Hentosai's
        entire face contorted into a gruesome grimace of pain as he choked
        down his painful scream.  Hinako thought she smelled bacon.  Hentosai
        gingerly moved his hand to touch his back... only to touch charred
        flesh.
                "GRROWWRRR!!!!"  Hentosai spun firing bolt after bolt of
        deadly ki explosives.  Ranma, smiling slightly, easily flew between
        and above Hentosai's attacks.  The monster charged the reincarnated
        pony-tailed boy using his incredible speed but Ranma easily dodged...
        he teleported away, in a plume of green flame.
                                        -=-=-
                "Damn!  This shield spell is woven so tightly!", Yasha said
        frustratedly as she wiped her face, "I should have been a Caster,
        dammit... I'm no use to you!  Why did I have to be a stupid Warrior?"
        Yasha punched the force bubble in anger.  Kasumi, not quite 
        understanding what Ranko was babbling, did her best to comfort her.
                "Ranko, you did your best, you're doing your best... what
        more can we ask?"
                "Kasumi, I can do my best and still fail... that's why my
        best is not nearly good enough!"
                                        -=-=-
                "GRRRR I'LL TEAR YOU APART WITH BY BARE HANDS!!!", Hentosai
        roared angrily.  He spun and tried to crush Ranma between his giant
        hands.  Hentosai screamed in pain and recoiled.  Pulling back like a
        defeated puppy, he looked at his open palms to find them severely
        scorched.  He looked up and through his tears of pain just in time to
        see Ranma's glowing fist.  The powerful force bolt knocked Hentosai
        completely out.
                Ranma's fire died out but he still glowed with a strong green
        aura.  The god-like Ranma floated over to quivering Hinako and looked
        at her with compassion.  He lifted her into his arms and adjusted the
        tatters of her dress to cover her as best he could.
                "R-R-Ranma?", Hinako asked unsure.  She gasped when she saw
        his face more clearly.  His eyes were blank and pupiless... only a
        green flame resided in each.  Ranma seemed to have not heard her and
        flew over to the force bubble containing all the other girls.  He
        gave them a slight and eerie smile.  Ranma then lifted his hand and
        rapped his knuckles once against bubble shattering it completely.
        Nabiki let out a slight scream as they fell but all the girls were
        caught by an invisible force and set gently on the ground.
                Ranma approached Yasha who stood there unsure and handed her
        Hinako.  Then he floated over to Akane and touched down to the marble
        floor.  He crouched and touched her forehead lightly, brushing a few
        strands of hair aside.  Akane moaned and began to stir.
                "R-Ranma?", Akane asked weakly, her eyes focusing on nothing.
        Ranma smiled again and spoke... without moving his lips.  A strange
        hollow echo accompanied his mind-speak.
                "Yes it's me, Akane.  You're safe now.  Go back to sleep."
        He moved his hand over her eyes and Akane went back to sleep.
        Without taking his eyes from her, Ranma addressed Yasha.  "Yasha, I
        want you to help Hinako from the inside.  I have something to finish.
        You'll be safe in here until I return."  Ranma stepped back and put
        them in another bubble.  Ranma exploded into flames again and started
        back towards the central battle ground.  Yasha called out to him.
                "Ranma!"  Ranma stopped in mid-air and turned around.
                "Yes?", his flat mind-speak made it sound more like a
        statement than a question.
                "Ryouga...."
                "I know.  I saw him on the other side."  With nothing left to
        say he flew off.
                "Good luck."
                                        -=-=-
                "Back so soon?", Hentosai quipped as he rubbed the back of
        his head.  Ranma said nothing.  Hentosai shrugged, "Hmm, if you're
        going to kill me you might as well be sociable about it!  You know
        what?  I haven't been a polite host, have I?  Here I invite you to
        my universe and I didn't even shake your hand!  Well, SHAKE THIS!!"
        Hentosai's face reflected concentration as he clapped his two hands
        together.  Ranma looked slightly surprised as two massive hands of
        stone rose from the ground of either side of him then smashed
        together.
                "Heh heh heh.", Hentosai chuckled.  His celebration was cut
        short.
                *<BRROOMMM!!!>*  The explosion sent marble shrapnel ripping
        through the air as Ranma blasted free of the stone cold grip.  Ranma
        raised both arms overhead then flung them forward firing energy blast
        after blast at Hentosai.  Hentosai dodged as much flak as he could
        but was getting blown to hell, regardless.  He decided to try to
        counter with his own ki attack.  It was the wrong choice.  Ranma's
        blast blew through Hentosai's as if it wasn't there and buried itself
        in Hentosai's huge self.  Hentosai tried a massive ki blast that
        went outward from his body in all directions.  The wave caused Ranma
        to blink a moment but Ranma flew next to Hentosai and released his
        own version of that attack.
                Hentosai went flying into a stone pillar leaving a cobweb of
        cracks in the stone.  Before he could even fall to the floor, Ranma 
        hit him with a punch in the stomach against the pillar.  Hentosai
        coughed up blood.  Ranma smiled and began to rapidly beat the ogre to
        a pulp against the stone.  The pervert made a weak attempt at a punch
        which Ranma teleported through then swatted Hentosai across the room.
        Hentosai knew physical attacks were useless against Ranma, the burns
        on his palms and chest proved that, forcing to use the equally
        ineffective ki attacks.  Hentosai charged up for another attack and
        fired it off... this time, Ranma reflected it right back into his
        face.  Hentosai grimaced and wiped the blood from his mouth... well
        at least he healed quickly.
                                        -=-=-
                "Look at the energy!  Ranma's almost like Goku out there!"
                "Wha-?  Who's Goku, Ranko?"
                "Er-... nevermind."  Yasha let out a sigh and rolled up her
        sleeves.  Hinako was a wreck.  The Passion Fever filled her with a
        fire that couldn't be put out.  Nabiki and Kasumi were doing their
        best to quell that desire as Yasha prepared to enter Hinako's mind.
        Hinako was covered in a cold sweat and feverish in her moanings.  The
        succubus hoped she could gain control of Hinako's mind using some
        blockers... it would be the reverse of what she was used to, Yasha
        was normally the one to remove one's inhibitions.
                "Okay, I'm ready.  Here I go."  Yasha kissed Hinako on the
        forehead, took a deep breath, then disappeared.
                                        -=-=-
                "Enough games!  Time for you to *DIE* Hentosai!!!"  Ranma
        stood over the defeated Hentosai, preparing for the final blow.
                "I agree, no more games... heh, but that's just it isn't it?
        This has all been a game, and an enjoyable one, for me.  Do you think
        that you're alive by chance?  No, it was by my design.  Do you really
        think you can defeat me?  I've merely upped the ante for my
        entertainment.  But now, like you said, no more games.  Come now...
        show me your power.", Hentosai said calmly as he rose to his feet.  A
        queer smile crossed his face as he levitated a few inches off the
        ground... then exploded into purple flames.  Ranma frowned.
                "....  All right then."  Ranma's inferno began to flare and
        lick the air more anxiously.  Hentosai's did the same.  Then Ranma
        clenched his fists and spread them outward expanding his flame at an
        amazing rate.  Hentosai did the same.  The two fields collided and
        the ground began to break and rupture beneath them.  Pillars of stone
        rose up, crumbled, then fell, and blocks of marble floated upwards
        then broke into dust.  Ranma grimaced and flexed, expanding his flame
        further, Hentosai smiled and pushed back.
                                        -=-=-
                Nabiki stopped suckling Hinako's breast for a moment to look
        at the Hentoverse's destruction.  Everything was breaking up.  The
        tapestries were in shreds, the pools were either evaporated or small
        globes of floating liquid, rock and stone devastated and flung into
        the mix.  Only she and her friends were safe in their little bubble.
        Who was winning?  She couldn't tell through all the floating debris.
                <What's taking Ranko so long?  Hmph!  What am I thinking?
        How am I supposed to know how long it takes?>
                "AHHH!"
                "Ranko?!", Nabiki said.  Yasha appeared on the floor of the
        bubble drained, smoking, and nude.  She gave Nabiki a weak smile.
                "Y-you can stop now.  I've put out the fires, Hinako will be
        all right... provided we survive this.  I'll need to give further
        therapy later, but she's stable."
                "So this is your true form?", Nabiki asked casually.  Yasha
        looked down at herself realizing she was naked and in her usual form.
                "Uh, yes, I guess this is what you could call my 'true' form.
        Are you angry with me?"  Now Kasumi looked up in curiosity.
                "Huh?  Why should we be?"
                "I haven't been truthful with you or anyone for that matter.
        I've toyed with your emotions and loved ones.  And I brought all this
        upon you.  All out of my own selfish desire for freedom."
                "Ranko, we know this isn't you're fault.  We're all friends
        here.  Whatever you've done, it was probably Hentosai's fault.  He'll
        pay too... just as soon as Ranma finishes him.", Nabiki reassured
        Yasha.  The demoness nodded numbly.
                <*If* he finishes him....>
                                        -=-=-
                Ranma couldn't take it anymore.  If he still had a need to
        sweat he would be doing so.  Ranma was collapsing under the enormous
        pressure Hentosai was putting on him.  NO!  He couldn't stop!  Now
        everything depended on him.  He couldn't let Akane and the others
        down.  Ranma redoubled his efforts but could feel himself beginning
        to break.
                "Unnngggghh!!!!", he strained.
                "HAHAHAHAHA!!!!"  All Ranma could hear was the roaring flames
        in his ears and the insane laughter of Hentosai.
                "YAAHHH!!!!", Ranma screamed as the enemy finally broke
        through his defenses.  Ranma was engulfed in Hentosai's purple
        inferno.  Ranma could feel them licking at his skin, searing this
        flesh, and burning his hair.  He knew they would devour him any
        moment now.  Then... nothing.  The flames retreated and a gust of
        cool ozone replaced them.  Ranma opened his eyes.  Hentosai stood
        gloating over him, mocking him.
                "Now do you understand?  This is *MY* game!  I *NEVER* lose!
        I could snuff you out at any moment but it pleases me not to... yet."
                "If you're going to kill me then do it!  But before I go...
        you have to tell me....  *Why*?"
                "I understand.  Why do I chase after your loved ones when I
        have a universe at my beck and call?  Why do I need mortal women from
        your pathetic plane of existence when I can form perfect ones here,
        for my enjoyment?  Is that it?"
                "Yes.", Ranma croaked.
                "Understand this... here I am a god.  I can create and do
        whatever I please.  Except one thing... free will.  I have yet to
        make a being that has its own will.  So I invade my birthworld for
        wills to violate or seduce.  It has its own... flavor.  A very, very
        addicting one, I might add.  So I created a substance, the Passion
        Fever Dust, to help facilitate this addiction.  It was a very useful
        thing that let me physically and psychologically torture poor, poor
        virgin maidens.
                And one day, I decided to visit my dear, dear brother,
        Happousai.  I respect his taste in women and, of course, decided, in
        typical-sibling rivalry, to go after his women.  *You*, in your
        accursed form, were one of those girls.  You know what happened.  I
        used my Passion Fever Attack.  You screwed all the girls.  And you
        all survived, living happily ever after.  Kasumi, of course, started
        replicating my formula and used it left and right, and you, my boy,
        ended up getting laid more times in one day than I could hope for in
        a week!
                But you see, there was a problem you didn't see.  I *told*
        you that to survive the Passion Fever Attack they had to lose their
        virginity... but they didn't.  You see, *NO* *ONE* survives the
        Passion Fever Attack!  You think I want little quarter-demon bastards
        coming and seeking revenge for their violated mothers... like *I* did
        to my demon Father before me?  No, I couldn't have that!  So the easy
        solution?  Kill them all.
                Then there was this other problem.  Your dear little Kasumi
        somehow began creating her own version of my Passion Fever Dust.  An
        amazing feat!  You see, *I* created the Dust, *HERE*... out of the
        stuffs of my imagination!  The materials needed, *only* exist in the
        Hentoverse!  So you see my problem... I have girls surviving a fool-
        proof attack that always results in a fatality... and I have a mortal
        replicating the impossible!
                So I try to investigate this problem but what occurs?  I am
        constantly driven off by demon wards!  Yet my brother, also a half-
        demon by blood, has free run of the place!  I have no luck pursuing
        the occupants even if they leave!  If I try to get within half a
        kilometer of you or your loved ones... I am suddenly warded back!!!
        Without any other choice, I resort to outside help, sending in the
        succubus as my scout.  She didn't know it, but I used her as a beacon
        to enter the Dojo and kidnap its occupants.
                Now I intend to destroy you and your girls, one by one, until
        I uncover which one of you has such command over things impossible to
        mere mortals!  Once I realize that, I will exploit that person to
        learn their secret and take their power!!!  Does that answer your
        question, Ranma?"
                "You know what?  You talk too much, pervert.  You are also an
        idiot!  If any of us held that power... you'd already be dead."
                "Never thought of that, but then, that's why I captured all
        of you.  Whomever holds the power also knows this is *my* universe...
        held together only by my mind.  Should I be destroyed all of you will
        go with me!  HAHAHA!  The power holder will not gamble on all your
        lives!"
                "Why are you telling me all of this now, you bastard?!?"
                "Because....  I've already concluded you are not the one."
                *<ZZZZZZZCRACCCKKKKSSSSHHHHH!!!!>*
                "YEEEARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
                                        -=-=-
                "I-is it- is it Ranma?"  Nabiki shaded her eyes trying to
        look through the smoke but she still could only make out a distant
        figure.  The winds blew a extra thick cloud of smoke over the bubble
        obstructing any view.  "I've lost him!  I think- EEEEKKK!!!", she
        screamed when Hentosai's ugly face kissed right up against the force
        bubble.
                "Hello my darlings!", he laughed cruelly.
                "You monster!  Where's Ranma!?", demanded Yasha fearing the
        worst.
                "How naive... you know the answer to that.  How ironic that
        his last gift to you was a shield meant to protect you... is now
        utterly useless!"  Hentosai flicked his forefinger against the bubble
        shattering it into a million pieces.  The girls fell to the hard
        floor and faced the harder reality.  Ranma was dead.  Along with
        him, all hope.  Nabiki, who had been remarkably cool, longer than
        even the demoness, finally broke down and sobbed.  Kasumi was already
        shedding tears.  Yasha cried too... not for herself, but for the
        girls she knew were about to be tormented beyond all belief.
        Whatever happened to her she could accept, she would survive and
        would heal... but these poor fragile girls, her heart broke, she
        would do anything to save them.  Hentosai was not as compassionate.
                "Oh please!  Save that for later or else your tears will run
        dry while I'm raping you!  I really like it when they cry!  HAHAHA!
        All right now wake up you little bitches, I want you conscious."  He
        began slapping Akane & Ukyou across their faces until they awoke.
        All Akane could manage to do was sob.
                "Hmm, I think you girls are all overdressed!"  He laughed at
        his own joke then snapped his fingers.  Cold flames engulfed all the
        human women and stripped them of their clothes.  Hentosai struck a
        thoughtful pose as he looked from girl to girl.  "Who to start with?
        Hm?  Who will a have the honor of being loved by a god first?  I
        think it's only fitting that Ranma's fiancee breaks her engagement by
        pleasing the god who killed him!  HAHAHA!!!"  Hentosai grabbed Akane
        by the wrist and pulled her towards him.  Akane let out gut wrenching
        scream after scream.
                Yasha couldn't stand it.  She was powerless against Hentosai
        because he held the key to her powers... but there was one power she
        always retained.  A right given to Warriors that couldn't be taken
        away.  It seldom was used but it was always there as an option.  Once
        activated there was no turning back.  Now, Yasha was prepared to use
        that option.
                "IHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOU-", Akane screamed her mind
        in shambles.  Yasha did her best to call over her cries.
                "Akane, I've got only one other option-"  Akane shot her a
        look that showed that she fully understood.  The others all seemed to
        know what it meant and agreed... only Hentosai had no clue.
                "What the hell are you blabbering about, Yasha?  Shut up and
        let me fuck this bitch in peace.  Are you ready, Akane-chan?"
                "YASHA DO IT!  DO IT!  FOR GODSAKES DO IT NOW!!!"
                "Thank you all.", Yasha said quietly as she closed her eyes.
                Then she self destructed.
                Yasha blew up in a ball of all-consuming green flames...
        taking Akane, Nabiki, Kasumi, & Ukyou with her.  They had by mutual
        agreement decided to use Yasha's last option.
                                        -=-=-
                "That stupid bitch!", Hentosai coughed as he tried to wave
        the smoke from his face.  Squinting he thought he saw a figure... a
        survivor of the blast?
                "Hello, Hentosai."
                "Hmph!  So you're the one... I didn't think you'd have the
        guts to let them all die.  I guess you're more selfish than I had
        thought.  Eh, Kasumi?"  Kasumi-sama stood before him dressed in a
        strange green gown.  Her eyes were burning with emerald fire.
                "You realize your time is up."  Kasumi-sama said it as a
        command.  There was not a hint of a question in her voice.
                "What are you going to do?  Take me before a jury and hang
        me, huh?  These are my grounds!  I am GOD here!"
                "Your human side is getting the better of you, Hentosai.
        Many, demons possess the ability to create their own universes... but
        they do not let that inflate their egos as you do.  Even demons have 
        the common sense not to compare themselves to the Lord.", Kasumi-sama
        said evenly, "They know their limits."
                "You vain, snobbish, lot!  All of you!  You think just
        because you're a goddess you can push me around?!?  You're not even a
        respectable goddess!!!  Demons have no weakness!!!"
                "That is true, some do not.  You are not one of them.  As for
        my standing as a goddess, it is irrelevant.  I have more than enough
        power to finish you."  Hentosai, not realizing his predicament, was
        angered by this meek goddess making demands of him.
                "Let's see about that!!!"  Hentosai drew his power and took
        resources from the Hentoverse to mount his powerful attack.  Space
        began to warp and bend in upon itself, taking light, time, and all of
        reality with it.  Hentosai's hands cupped together gathering enormous
        amounts of other-worldly energy.  Lightning crackled around him as
        his collection grew.  Suddenly... Kasumi-sama walked up to Hentosai
        and touched his chest.
                "WHA- ARR!!  NO!!!  WHAT HAVE YOU- AARRRRGHHHHHHH!!!!!!", the
        pervert screamed as green flames began to engulf him.  The pain
        caused him to lose his concentration and his attack collapsed upon
        itself and began to implode.  Kasumi watched for a moment before
        leaving.  Then Hentosai, his universe and everything in it, was gone
        forever.
                                        -=-=-
                Kasumi-sama sat under the cool shade of the willow tree on a
        soft pillow of moss and admired the beauty of the lakeside scenery.
        She hugged her knees to her chest and rocked herself a bit before
        sighing and focusing her thoughts.  In a moment, the succubus, Yasha
        appeared from thin air, disorientated and in her Ranko form.
                "Wha- How- Who- Uh... Where am I?"
                "Hello Yasha."
                "What?  Kasumi!?!  How did you sur- Where are the others?!
        Where are *we*!?!  What happened to-"
                "You're full of questions aren't you?", Kasumi-sama smiled
        softly.
                "I'm just- Wait a moment!"  Yasha slowed down when she
        noticed the strange diamond-shaped marking on Kasumi's forehead.
        "K-K-Kasumi... y-you're a g-goddess!?!"  Kasumi smiled and nodded.
        "If you're a goddess then this is-"
                "Heaven."
                "Oh!  I'm in deep shit!  I'm sitting in the middle of Enemy
        HQ!!!  I've got to get out of here!!!", Yasha panicked.
                "Isn't that your whole warrior mission?  To storm us and get
        into Heaven?"
                "*ALONE*!!?!!"  Kasumi-sama laughed kindly.
                "You're not right in the *middle* of Heaven.  And you're safe
        regardless... you're under my protection."
                "Protection?!  I thought- aren't we, like, mortal enemies or
        something?  Why would you protect me?"
                "You may not realize this because gods are the enemies of
        demons, but demons aren't the enemies of gods.  We see you as simply
        lost for a time.  Heaven knows we have gods that are nearly as bad as
        you folk.  You remember Zeus?  Or perhaps you've heard of Urd?  Hah
        ha... you know, you and Urd would get along so-  Sorry, I'm getting
        off track.  The point is: You have a good heart.  We respect that....
        Do you recognize this place?"
                "How could I?  I've never been to- Wait... isn't this? ...."
                "Yes, Yasha.  This is the home you dreamed up for Ranko and
        put into Ranma's mind.  Only I put it in your mind first."
                "Goddess can do that?!", Yasha asked, surprised.
                "We can do a lot of things.  Like the pretty dress you're
        wearing... I made it.  With my hands I mean... like Kasumi would."
                "Huh?  Aren't you Kasumi?"
                "Yes."  She paused.  "And no.  It's difficult to explain but
        our Lord, His Son, and His Spirit would be able to confuse you very
        thoroughly in the subject.  I let things happen to Kasumi, yet at all
        times I *am* Kasumi... er sort of.  Meanwhile, she knows nothing
        about me, even though I'm her... kind of."  She laughed at the
        bewildered look on Yasha's face.  "It's best not to think about it
        too hard.  I brought you here because we have a lot in common.  I'm
        not very popular around here just as you have been set up by your
        fellow succubi.  I'm kind of kinky and meddle with mortal affairs too
        much for my Lord's tastes.  I'm sort of a roguish goddess... like you
        are a good demoness.  But the Lord's forgiving and lets me do my
        thing."
                "What exactly do you do?"
                "Like I said, I meddle with mortal affairs... specifically,
        Ranma.  Much of what he's been going through is my fault.  The
        strange coincidences, illogical actions, turns of fate, and changed
        mentalities... they're more often than not, my fault.  Don't ask me
        why I do it, it's harder to explain than the Trinity... but I can
        tell you that I care for him and his loved ones, and that I will
        always eventually bring him through the end."
                "Then me, ending up with him, is all your doing?"
                "Yes."
                "Then the feelings I have... for him... are they fabricated
        by you as well?"
                "They might be... does it matter?"
                "No."  Yasha laughed.  "Am I saying that because you're
        making me?  This goddess stuff is going to drive me crazy!!!"
                "Don't think about it too hard, remember?"
                "All right, you win.  You're going to bring Ranma and the
        others back too, right?"
                "Of course."
                "Then why just me, for now?"
                "Because *someone* has to remember when it's all over."
        Kasumi-sama smiled then vanished.  Yasha blinked.
                                        -=-=-
                "Pass the pickled turnips!"
                "Will you move over?!!!  You're almost sitting in my lap,
        Ranma!!!"
                "Akane would like that, wouldn't she?!"
                "What did you say?!  Nabiki!!!"
                "So where did your training take you last this time, Ryouga?"
                "Ukyou, would you pass the soy sauce?"
                "AHAHAHAHAAAA!!!  HOT!  HOT!  HOT!  HOT!  *HOT*!!!!"
                "Don't eat so quickly, Father."
                When Yasha opened her eyes she found herself in the middle of
        dinner with everyone.  The ruckus of everyone happily jabbering and
        munching away was quite a contrast from the serene surroundings of
        Heaven... but Yasha liked this much better.
                "Ranko, that's a really lovely dress!"
                Yasha looked down at the gift Kasumi-sama had given her and a
        tear came to one eye.
                "Thank you, a really good friend, one very dear to me, she
        hand-made it for me."
                "It's beautiful!  Who is she?"
                "I don't think you'd know her....", her voice trailed off.
        When Kasumi realized she wasn't getting an answer she just shrugged
        and continued eating.  Yasha watched as everyone celebrated without
        having a clue of the horrors they had suffered only moments ago in
        her perception of time.
                Ryouga and Ukyou, not looking, reached for the same dumpling
        and their chopsticks crossed.  The both turned and for some reason
        began blushing as they each tried to offer the other the dumpling.
        Genma and Soun argued over who got the most bloated from drinking
        sake.  Hinako laughed as she held a conversation with Kasumi and
        Nabiki about Ranma's bad habits.  And Akane looked at the ground with
        bashful downcast eyes as Ranma took her hand under the table and
        squeezed it.  Yasha saw all this, sitting quietly by herself.
                "Ranko?  Ranko, are you crying?", Ukyou asked, concerned.
                Suddenly everything was quiet.  All eyes were on Ranko.
                "Yes.", she smiled as tears streamed down her face, "I am
        crying."
                "Why?"
                "Because....  Because I'm so happy!", Yasha laughed, "I want
        you all to know- I love you!"
                "Ranko that's really sweet, we love you too!"
                "Yeah, Yas- er- Ranko!  I'm glad you are staying with us!
        You *are* staying, right?  We're all family here!", Ranma winked.
                "Yes, I've decided to stay."
                "Good to have you!"
                "Hey, a toast, in honor of Ranko Saotome!  The newest member
        of this family!"
                "CHEERS!", they laughed in unison.
                *<BURP!!!>*  Genma released a truly foul belch.
                "SAOTOME!"
                "Hey I told you I was more bloated!!!"
                                        -=-=-
                Akane slipped in quietly, stifling her giddy giggles.
                "What's so funny?"
                "I was just thinking about how you said you were going to
        burst... you think *you* were going to burst, what about me?  I could
        barely restrain myself from grabbing you and kissing your handsome
        face at dinner.  Imagine what that would cause?"
                "You're so cute.", Ranma admired her and love welled up in
        his heart.
                "Ranma?  Ranma, are you listening to me?"
                "Lovely...- huh?  What did you say?"  Akane smiled and sighed
        happily.
                "Nevermind, you made me a promise."
                "I did?  I know I promised to love you forever-"
                "Oh stop gushing on me, Ranma!", Akane giggled.  She lifted
        the hemline of her nightie and wrapped her legs around his waist.
        Slinging her arms upon his shoulders she stared passionately into his
        eyes.  "You promised that we'd finish tonight.  I think we left off
        someplace like this..."
                Akane's mouth opened in an erotic "O" as she pulled on the
        string lacing the front of her nightie.  As Ranma slipped the silky
        material down either side of her shoulders, Akane's hand slided
        across his muscular chest down into his shorts and took a hold of his
        erect manhood.
                "A-A-Akane!", Ranma choked as she pulled on his stiff member.
        Ranma's fingertips drifted from her shoulders to under her left
        breast, there they spread to move across the mound squeezing the
        surface lightly.  Ranma decided to lay back with Akane on all fours
        above him.  He smelled the fragrance of her hair as it hung down in
        his face, again his heart skipped at her beauty.  Akane's nightie now
        was just a band of bunched up silk at her waist as Ranma reached up
        and cupped both her dangling firm breasts.  He began to play with
        them causing Akane to moan and arch her back.
                Ranma strained his neck and began to suckle a nipple.  The
        sensation was too much for Akane, driving her back.  So Ranma just
        followed by sitting up straight and continuing his nursing.  He used
        one hand to lead the tit into his eager mouth while the other
        continued to pleasure her other breast.  Akane's fingers were deftly
        pumping Ranma's shaft and fondling his balls, the fat head of his
        penis rubbing against her smooth belly.  Both were letting out soft,
        erotic moans.
                It was in this position, Ranko caught them.
                "Oh my!", Ranko gasped a la Kasumi.  Akane and Ranma froze.
        Their hearts stopped at the same time and then suddenly both their
        pulses raced.  A tingling sensation rushed through their bodies like
        the blood that was quickly making their entire nude forms blush.
        Akane's first impulse was to let out a shriek... fortunately Ranma
        was faster acting.  He clamped his hand over Akane's mouth and
        motioned for Ranko to shut the door.
                "And lock it!", he whispered urgently.  After she had done so
        she turned to see Akane adjusting her nightie to a more respectable
        position and Ranma standing furiously, ready to dish out some wrath
        with a bedsheet wrapped around his waist.  It was obvious his state
        of arousal had not quite died off yet as the sheet was sticking
        several inches in front of him.
                "What are you doing here!?!"
                "I woke up and Akane wasn't there, so I got up and wanted to
        see if she was in here.  I'm sorry, I never meant to- Oh dear- I'm-"
        Ranko was glowing red more than the couple had been a few moments ago
        but Ranma didn't buy it.
                "You little spy-"
                "You poor girl!"  Akane pushed past him not hearing what he
        was going to say.  "Ranko, don't worry, it's not a big deal-"
                "Are you kidding?!?!  Why don't we invite your father in
        then, Akane?!?  Yeah, let's just make it a party out of it!  OWWW!!"
        Ranma yelled as Akane tweaked his butt under the sheet, "OUCH!  Damn!
        That's going to leave a mark, Akane!!"
                "Ranko, ignore Ranma, he's just over-reacting.  Just go to
        bed now and don't worry about it.  We'll talk about it tomorrow.
        Please don't tell anyone about this, you promise?", Akane smiled
        kindly while pinching Ranma's lips shut.
                "I promise."
                "Good night then."  Ranko turned to leave but stopped short.
                "Um, Akane?"
                "Yes?"
                "What were you and Ranma, doing?"  Akane blushed again and
        smiled shyly.
                "You really don't know?"
                "Un-uh.", she shook her head.
                <I don't *BELIEVE* this!!!  THE NERVE!!!- Yasha, you and I
        are going to have a *long* talk about this!!>, Ranma thought angrily.
        His anger helped him resist the aura of cuteness that made everyone
        fall in love with her.
                "W-we were- um- loving each other... we show how much we love
        each other by doing what we were doing."
                "I feel- I feel... funny, Akane.  And I think it was because
        of what you and Ranma were doing."  Ranko clamped her bare legs
        together and rubbed them against each other.  Akane stood silent for
        a moment then let go of Ranma's lips.  He was about to shout a sound
        of protest when Yasha bound him secretly with a spell.  Akane walked
        over to her and pushed her fingers between Ranko's soft thighs.  She
        ran them up the insides of her thighs until she was going under
        Ranko's t-shirt and touching Ranko's panties.  Ranko's eyes were shut
        tight as her entire body trembled.
                "Do you mean here?", Akane asked sympathetically, her voice
        laced with lust.  Ranko's eyes remained shut as she nodded.  She
        suddenly wrapped herself around Akane, hugging her tightly.
                "Akane!"
                "..."  Akane was stunned as Ranko grasped one of her breasts
        through the silky nightie.
                "I'm sorry, I got a little excited-", Ranko apologized still
        fondling Akane's chest.
                "It's okay."
                "Hold me tighter.", Ranko said softly.  Akane squeezed the
        smaller (but bustier) girl, her thigh slipping between Ranko's and
        her hand still in place.  Akane's nightie began to fall off her
        shoulders again leaving Ranko to play with the soft globes directly.
                "I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm-"
                "Don't apologize, Ranko... keep going!", Akane panted, her
        nightie falling past her hips to the floor.  Akane pressed the
        shorter girl's head between her breasts as ran her hands along the
        back of Ranko's thighs, up her shirt, and on to her thin pair of
        panties stretching across her round bottom.  Akane slipped her hands
        in and squeezed Ranko's butt cheeks.  This pushed the red-head's
        crotch against Akane's thigh, causing her to moan.
                Finally Akane decided to pull Ranko's oversized shirt off and
        expose her glorious body.  Ranko crossed her arms over her bare chest
        standing in only her panties and a pair of socks.  Akane marveled yet
        again at the beautiful body, Ranma and Ranko possessed before going
        ahead.  Akane grasped the sides of Ranko's panties and jerked them
        past her hips exposing her to Akane's lustful gaze.  Akane cupped the
        curve of Ranko's sex feeling the wetness of the excited girl.
                Akane got on her knees and brought her face level to Ranko's
        mound.  Inhaling its fragrance, Akane nuzzled her face into it and
        gave it an affectionate lick.  Overly sensitive, Ranko let out a yelp
        as her legs clamped shut and she reflexively pushed Akane's head
        away, her breasts jiggling freely from the sudden motion.
                "I'm sorry!"
                "Heh, it's okay.  Here, you better lie on the ground and
        spread your legs."  Ranko did as she was told and kicked off her
        panties.  Akane held Ranko's thighs firmly as she prepared to dive
        again.  Again, she was only able to get in one lick before Ranko
        began flipping and flopping, and trying to push Akane's head away
        while clamping her legs around it at the same time.  Akane laughed
        and decided to climb over the smaller girl.  She lined herself up in
        such a way that their nipples brushed against each other as they
        ground their sexes together.  Akane introduced her hand, which went
        between the two girls, playing with both.  Very quickly they came one
        after the other.  Akane rolled off of Ranko, panting.
                "Your turn, Ranma."  Ranma suddenly found himself unbound and
        full of passion.  <What the hell, as long as Akane doesn't mind...>
        Ranma parted Ranko's thighs and pushed his own hips between her's.
        Akane took the tip of Ranma's manhood and guided it to Ranko's hole,
        she licked both the tip of Ranma's erection and Ranko's clit sending
        shivers through both.  Ranma held his breath as he plunged in only
        half they way.  Already Ranko was moaning as her sex made sucking
        sounds.  Ranma pushed all the way in, letting Ranko engulf him and
        contract about him.  Ranko let out a breathless gasp.  Ranko bucked
        her pelvis up and against his as they rutted.  Stroke after stroke
        Ranma bit his lip to keep from screaming.  His balls slapped against
        her buttocks with each thrust.  Finally he came, spewing what he had
        intended for Akane into his doppleganger and collapsed on top of her.
                                        -=-=-
                "More rice, please!"
                "Of course, Ranma.", Kasumi served him another helping.
                The entire Tendo household merrily devoured breakfast on yet
        another fine sunny morning.  Just then Ranko bounded down the stairs
        into the dining room.  For a second, Ranma nearly spewed out his rice
        gruel... then he remembered: <Oh, yeah, it's just Ranko.>  Ranko
        happily smiled good morning to everyone and skipped over to Ranma.
                "Cousin Ranma, may I sit on your lap?"  Before Ranma could
        object, Ranko sat on his lap.  Akane watched, amused.
                "Aww, isn't that cute!"
                Ranma didn't think it was cute.  Ranma was getting hard.
        Instead of smoothing her skirt out underneath her as most girls did,
        Ranko had flipped the back of her skirt up, placing her bare, bouncy,
        *pantiless* bottom on Ranma's crotch.
                "Akane get her off!  Jeez, wasn't last night enough for you?"
                "What happened last night?", Akane asked.  Ranma looked at
        her face a moment before realizing she genuinely didn't know.
                <YASHA!>
                <Hmm?>, she thought in a sweet tone.
                <Did you->
                <Yes, I thought it would be better for her not to remember.>
                "-okay?  Ranma, are your listening?"
                "Huh?  Uh, yeah."
                "Ranma, what happened last night?", Akane demanded.
                "N-nothing.  It was nothing."
                <Yasha, get off my lap!>
                <Make me!>, she laughed in his head.
                <Yasha, I'll throw you->
                <-and expose my naked bottom to everyone here?>
                <ARRRRGH!!!>
                "-are you okay, Ranma?"
                "Huh?  What?"
                "You're gritting your teeth!", Akane said, concerned.
                "And you're face is awfully red!", Nabiki added.
                "It's n-nothing.", he said distractedly.
                <This is what I get for inviting a demoness into my home!>
                <This is what you get for inviting me into your home!>, she
        agreed gleefully.
                <What have I done?>, he sighed.
                <What *have* you done?>, she giggled.
                "Ranma, Ranko, it's time to go!", Akane called.
                "Coming, Akane."  Ranko got up and stood next to Akane.
                "Well are you coming, Ranma?"  Akane stamped her foot
        impatiently.  Ranma looked down at the massive erection he had under
        the table and knew he couldn't get up.  What would Akane think of him
        if he got that from Ranko!
                "Err, I think I'll stay here a while."
                "Well you can't!  We're going to be late!"
                "I just need to sit a bit!"
                "Let's *GO*!"
                "I can't!"
                "If you don't move....", she threatened.
                "Akane, please!"
                "Okay, buster, I'm dragging you out!!!"
                "No, Akane don't!!!"
                "Let go of the table leg, Ranma!"
                "Ranma, don't make a scene!"  Yasha used her powers to make
        him to super light.  Akane had no problem prying him free and tossing
        him into the air for everyone to see.  Everyone face faulted.
                "EEEKKKK!!!!", Ranko shrieked.
                "RANMA!!", Genma shouted, bug-eyed.
                "Don't look, Daughters!", Soun said, shielding Kasumi and
        Nabiki.
                "W-O-W!", Nabiki whistled, peeking through her father's
        fingers.
                "Oh my!", Kasumi gasped.
                Ranma fell on his back, soldier standing proudly at attention
        in his trousers.  Ranma covered his face with his forearm, let out a
        groan, then sobbed "Why me?"
                <Wait until we get to school... think of all the neat tricks
        an invisible succubus can do!>
                Ranma cried harder.

         Author's Notes
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                You *knew* what was gonna happen, didn't you?  Once main
        characters began dying off left and right, you knew somehow they were
        all coming back in a big happy ending!  Well SUE me!  I'm a sucker
        for happy endings!  Who needs all those depressing sad-fics and dark-
        fics to get us down when there's life to do that?  (Don't you *dare*
        connect that statement with lemon-fics and my sex life! ^-^)
                I have to apologize for blaming Kasumi-sama for any and all
        my logic errors and mistakes.  If anything I should be blaming Amber!
        *<WHACK!>*  Ow!  Amber-sama!  *<SMACK!>*  Oh all right!  It's all my
        fault... jeez!  Oh yeah, and I'd like to thank Amber-sama (you know
        sometimes I think *she's* a demoness!) and everyone else for their
        input.  A special thanks to David Bateson, who has helped me edit the
        series and more.  Sorry, Francis, for bringing Ryouga back to life...
        but like I said, I'm a sucker for happy endings!
                Well I am truly glad that's over.  It took me forever because
        of the many other responsibilities in my life, but I finished!  This
        one fic alone is longer than all the previous ones combined!  Never
        did I imagine I could write so much to say so little!  I hope I gave
        you a good read.  (Okay, okay!  A decent one? ... A marginal one, at
        least? ... Oh, com'on give me a little credit!  Please!!!)
                This is probably the last of the Lemonade Punch series.
        *<sniff,sniff>*  I might get around to finishing the last two fics
        I already have drafted, but I can't promise it.  I hope this series
        is enough to get me my own directory in the Anime FanFic Archive!
        (My life's goal!)  I really hope to hear your comments about this or
        any of the other fics in the LP series.
                As for those last two LP fics... (if for some odd reason you
        are interested) the first one is a Ranma/Fighting Games cross-over
        and the second is a Street Fighter lemon.  Both are already drafted
        but who knows when I'll get around to finishing them up.  Bug me if
        you really want these stories to see the daylight.  (I'm kidding by
        the way... ^-^)
                That's all I have to say for now.  I had a great time
        dreaming up this stuff for you to read... and half of that never made
        it to paper so you can imagine how long it could have been!  Goodbye
        and remember, the fate of the next Lemonade Punch lies in your hands!
