Well, while corresponding with Huang-san about the "rapefic" I'd 
started a while back, I decided to pull the thing out and have a look 
at it. I was surprised--I didn't think I'd written half as much as it 
seems I did. Therefore, I decided to go ahead and post the first 
couple parts to the FFML. 

Chronology note: This story is set after the end of the series, in 
your favorite alternate universe in which Ryouga and Ukyou have 
gotten together.

Ranma 1/2: Guilty Until Proven Innocent

I. The Good Life

  Ryouga sighed happily to himself as he walked down the quiet Nerima 
street. Life was good. Sure, Ranma had Akane, and Akane had never 
loved him, but now he had his dear, sweet Ucchan, and they loved each 
other as much as they'd ever loved anyone else. 
  Ukyou stepped out of the restaurant and greeted him. They embraced 
and kissed. "Hi Ucchan," he said. 
  "Hey sugar, have trouble finding the market?" Ukyou asked, looking 
at him with sparkling eyes. He grinned. His sense of direction hadn't 
been nearly as bad lately. He produced a small sack of groceries, and 
a bottle of champagne. Ukyou eyed this curiously, eliciting a chuckle 
from Ryouga. "Just to celebrate how good life is," he said. Ukyou 
grinned and took the bottle and the groceries from him.
  Things had been so wonderful lately. The fighting had ceased in 
Nerima, with all the suitors gone--he and Ukyou a couple, the 
transvestites disappeared, the Amazons gone back to Joketsuzoku, the 
Kunous...he shook his head and chuckled softly. The Kunous were still 
around, and still just as annoying as ever. But they weren't his 
problem, after all.
  At least, that's what he thought.
  "HIBIKI RYOUGA, PREPARE TO DIE!!!!" 
  
II. Crime of Passion

  Ryouga spun around, as did Ukyou. Kunou Tatewaki was charging full-
speed at Ryouga, who barely had time to leap away from the entrance 
to the restaurant, pushing Ukyou to safety inside the entrance. Ukyou 
stumbled, and barely caught the bottle of champagne before it 
shattered on the ground. She was annoyed, but she let it slide as she 
tried to figure out *why* Kunou was so mad. "Hey Ryouchan, what's he 
on about?"
  "No idea," Ryouga said. "Kunou, what's gotten into you?"
  Kunou snarled. "As if you need to ask, you...you...hellspawn!!" He 
slashed at Ryouga with his bokken. Ryouga moved to block with his 
umbrella, and found to his surprise the sword cut *through* the 
indestructible fabric. He saw a flash of silver, and realized...Kunou 
wasn't using a bokken. He had a sharp, deadly katana. "Oh shit."
  "DIE!!!"
  A spatula blocked him. "Hold it, jackass! Why the hell are you 
trying to kill Ryouchan?"
  Kunou snarled. "This...this...this DEMON has commited an offense 
most foul upon the fair pigtailed goddess!"
  Ryouga blinked. Ukyou frowned, puzzled. "Ryouchan? What's he 
talking about?"
  Before Ryouga could answer, another voice cut into the conversation.
 "This...this *animal*...he..." Everyone turned to the source of the 
voice. 
  What they saw made Ryouga and Ukyou gasp, and Kunou snarl with fury.

  Akane and Ranma-chan walked slowly toward the trio. Akane was 
dressed in her gi, with the headband she wore whenever she got a 
challenge. Her face was a mix of shock, pain, and anger.
  Ranma-chan was in very bad shape. She was leaning on Akane for 
support and favoring her right leg. Her clothes were ripped, her feet 
bare, her hair pulled out of the usual pigtail and thoroughly 
disheveled. Her face was puffy and swollen, she had a black eye and a 
few scratches on her face, as well as a number of other marks on her 
arms. Her blue eyes blazed with fury as she glared at Ryouga, making 
him take an involuntary step back.
  "Pigtailed girl! Allow me to comfort you!" Kunou cried, running 
towards them. Ranma-chan turned her gaze on him briefly. "Kunou, 
don't come near me. I'm in a really bad mood." Kunou stopped, much to 
everyone's surprise, and returned to glaring at Ryouga.
  "Hey Akane-chan, Ranma, what's going on?" Ukyou asked. 
  Akane took a step towards them, shaking with fury. Ranma-chan 
shifted her weight to lean on her right leg. "Ryouga...how could you!?
" she asked in a voice that would make ice seem blazing hot. 
  Ryouga blinked. "Huh?" The usual warning bells went off in his mind,
 the fear his secret had been discovered, but he was able to ignore 
it. Whatever was going on had nothing to do with a certain porker.
  "You know what you did," Akane hissed. "Admit it. Tell your 
girlfriend what kind of monster you are."
  Ukyou smirked. "Hey, watch it." Then she turned on Ryouga. "Hey 
sugar, wanna tell me anything?"
  "Ucchan, I swear, I don't have a clue what she's talking about."
  Akane stepped forward and slapped Ryouga *hard*. The same person 
who'd taken the full force of the Kachuu Tenshin Amaguriken and 
gotten back up fell to the ground from the blow. "Bastard," Akane 
hissed.
  Ukyou tightened her grip on her spatula. "Akane-chan..." she said 
in a dangerous tone.
  Akane scowled. "Don't defend him, Ukyou. He doesn't deserve it."
  "What's going on here?" Ryouga said as he rose unsteadily to his 
feet. Kunou's katana was immediately at his throat. "Admit your 
shameful crime, foul beast! Admit to the woman who misguidedly loves 
you how you so brutally violated the pure, innocent pigtailed 
goddess!"
  Kunou's pronouncements usually went ignored by everyone else. 
However, this time there was a profound pause, at the end of which 
Ukyou, a mask of pure shock on her face, dropped the champagne bottle 
she still held. It shattered on the street, spraying fizzing liquid 
everywhere.

  Ryouga went slack from shock. If he'd heard Kunou right, they 
thought he'd...
  "WHAT!?" Ukyou shouted. 
  Ranma-chan finally spoke up. "You heard him, Ukyou," she said, 
voice flat, dull, and dangerously quiet. She glared at Ryouga once 
again. "Bastard...I thought Mikado was bad."
  Ryouga shook himself out of his shock. "Ranma, what the hell are 
you talking about?"
  Ranma-chan's eyes flashed with rage. "I'm talking about what you 
did to me, you sick monster!"
  Ukyou stepped between them. "Hold on here, someone tell me exactly 
what's going on."
  Ranma-chan closed her eyes and shuddered, then began her tale...

  ***

  Ranma was sitting in his favorite park in Nerima, on a secluded 
bench, It was a beautiful day, bright and sunny. Nobody else was in 
the park, and Ranma was able to enjoy a few minutes of peace before 
going home to be with his fiancee.
  Suddenly, a cold torrent drenched Ranma. Ranma-chan looked up to 
see a bucket flying at her. "Hey! What the!?"
  A familiar voice hissed, "You've had this coming a long time 
Saotome!"
  Ranma-chan's attacker grabbed her wrists. She struggled, but 
couldn't break the grip. She felt something being tied around her 
wrists. She tried to break it but it wouldn't give. She kicked out, 
but found her legs pinned down. 
  Hands roughly ripped her shirt open, and began squeezing her 
breasts. She snarled in rage and jerked away from her assailant, but 
it was no use. Her trousers were ripped away from her, her legs 
forced apart, her ankles tied. 
  As her body was violated, she got a good look at her assailant's 
face...

  ***
 
  Ukyou and Ryouga both gaped, shocked. Ryouga shook his head 
vigorously. "I didn't...you must be mistaken."
  Ranma spat at him. "It was *you*, Ryouga. I *saw* you."
  Akane added, "You're the only person strong enough to hold Ranma 
down like that, Ryouga. And we have these..." she held up one fist 
and opened it, revealing three leopard-spotted yellow bandanas, 
stained with blood and other substances. "Ranma was tied up with 
these when I found him..."

  ***

  Akane ducked into the park to avoid Kunou. "That idiot," she 
thought. She noticed something lying against a bench, squirming. She 
moved closer to get a good look, and gasped in shock.
  Ranma-chan was lying on the ground, naked. Her clothes were piled 
on the bench next to her. She was straining against bonds tied at her 
ankles and wrists. Her legs were bent back at the knees, and Akane 
could see blood leaking out from between them, as well as various 
stains around her that Akane didn't really want to know about. 
Strands of red hair were scattered around Ranma-chan's head, and her 
pigtail had been undone.
  "R-Ranma!?"
  Ranma-chan looked up, and in an angry and ashamed voice, growled, 
"Akane, untie me!"
  Akane rushed over, and untied first the cloth binding Ranma-chan's 
ankles to her wrists, then her other bonds. She stared in disbelief 
at the distinctive pattern of the cloth. "R--Ranma, what happened?"
  Ranma-chan sobbed angrily. "What do you *think* happened!?"

  ***

  Akane growled. Ryouga slumped, more shocked than before. "I didn't..
.I didn't do it...didn't..."
  Ukyou looked from Ranma-chan to Akane to Ryouga and back in stunned 
horror. "No..."
  Ranma-chan snarled in rage, but remained where she was. "Bastard...
I thought we were *friends* now..."
  "Ranma...I...you gotta believe me...Akane-san...Ucchan..."
  Ukyou stared at the stained  bandanas in Akane's hand. She looked 
at Ranma-chan, battered and disheveled. She looked at Kunou, katana 
held very near Ryouga's throat. She looked at the expression of shock 
on Ryouga's face.
  She turned, walked into the Ucchan, and slammed the door.
