Kuno Tatewaki walks briskly along the hallway.  It is in the family
mansion, and he is getting ready for school.  He appears to be quite
happy.

Kuno: Ahh, what a glorious day!  Today I shall destroy the foul 
sorcerer
and win the hand of the glorious Akane and the fair pig-tailed 
goddess!  I
Kuno Tatewaki do so-

The door creaked open, Kuno froze.  It was *that* door.  The one that 
led
down to dear sister's laboratory.  The one that was supposed to be 
locked.
Noticing movement, Kuno nearly bolts.  Realizing that it is Sasuke, 
he rushes
over (instinctively holding his breath) and pulls Sasuke away from 
the
door.  Sasuke is very pale, even his clothes appear to have been 
severely
bleached.

Sasuke: Ko...  Koda...  The Mistress...  Is very angry.  Must go to
school.  The Mis...  Kodachi is sick today.  Must tell...  
Attendance...

Kuno: <shocked> Do not worry yourself.  I shall convey thy message to 
the
school and you may have a few hours to rest and recover.

Kuno looks over his shoulder for one last glance at the door, then 
bolts
for the kitchen.  The servant does not yet have his lunch ready, but 
he
ignores this and does not even slow down in his frantic dash for the 
door.
Sasuke breathes a momentary sigh of relief, then he startles, as if
remembering something.  With urgency tempered by great agony, he 
scuttles
away from Kodachi's laboratory.

Credits fade...

It is morning at the Tendo residence.  Genma and Ranma sleep soundly 
in
their respective beds.  The morning sun is bright and birds chirp
cheerfully.  A voice drifts from downstairs.

Kasumi: Breakfast in 5 minutes!

Genma sits bolt upright.  Flinging the covers to one side, he dives 
for his
clothes.  He is dressed and nearly out the door when he pauses.  
Ranma
has not yet moved.

Genma: RANMA! <the bedding twitches> Breakfast is ready!

Genma leaves, the scene shifts to the breakfast table.  Soun and 
Nabiki
are also present.  Kasumi brings dishes from the kitchen.

Soun: <stretches> I have not has such a restful night's sleep in...

Genma: <takes a deep breath of the morning air> Yes, last night was 
so
quiet.  I slept well.

Footsteps are heard on the stairs.  Shampoo is first, followed by 
Ukyou
and Akane.  Shampoo walks somewhat stiffly.  Ukyou's lower lip is 
swollen,
and Akane is smiling as if involved in some private dream.  Kasumi 
places
food on the table.  Akane fills Ranma's bowl before serving herself.

Genma: <looks at Ranma's bowl, unguarded in his absence, thinks> 
Where is
that boy? <bellows towards stairs> RANMA!! <something scraping is 
heard
upstairs>

Kasumi: Maybe he is sick?  Shall I call Dr. Tofu?

Soun: No!  I'll go up- <footsteps, followed by Ranma> See!  He's 
fine.

As everyone looks up at Ranma, Genma seizes the opportunity to grab
Ranma's bowl, intending to scoop away part of the portion.  Glancing 
back
to the table, he freezes like a deer in the headlights when he 
realizes
that Ukyou and Shampoo are both glaring directly at him.  He returns 
the
bowl, un-pillaged, to its place.

Akane: <as Ranma approaches and sits> Are you alright?  You look 
kinda
washed out this morning.

Ranma: <weakly> Didn't sleep well last night, some sort of dream...
<glances around the table, lingers briefly on Ukyou and Shampoo> 
...or
maybe a nightmare. <pokes at food> And I got this headache like 
somebody
dropped Mt. Fuji on my head.

Shampoo: Ranma eat!  Feel better!  Ranma need keep up strength!

Nabiki joins the three in chattering about school, business, and 
general
gossip while Ranma slowly picks at his food.  He has barely eaten a 
third
when Akane and Ukyou announce that they must leave for school and 
pull
Ranma along with them.  Genma takes Ranma's un-finished bowl.  When 
he
notices Shampoo watching him, he curls his arm protectively around 
the
bowl and glares back at her.

Scene fades to...

The kitchen at the Neko Hanten.  Cologne is preparing for business,
alternating between ordering Mousse around and grumbling to herself.  
She
is obviously not in a good mood.  The bell at the front door rings 
and
Shampoo comes in.

Cologne: <shouts at Mousse> You!  Start the pots, I'll take care of 
the
front! <hops out of the kitchen, slamming the door behind her> And 
now for
you young lady.  Where have you been all night?

Shampoo: <dances dreamily around the room> Shampoo with husband!  
Shampoo
happy!

Cologne: So you were out with son-in-law all night?

Shampoo: <settles into a chair, blissful> Not out all night, at house 
with
Ranma.

Cologne: You were at the Tendo house all night?  What did you do 
there?
<Shampoo blushes, Cologne pales> Nevermind-  You were successful?  
How did
you do it?

Shampoo: Shampoo teach Akane cook.  Take all else out of kitchen. 
<smiles
smugly for a moment> Use instant recipes and boil-in-bag.  Not even 
Akane
ruin.  After supper, Shampoo make dessert.  Use special spices.  
Whole
family sleep good!  Shampoo take husband upstairs, do ceremony with 
sake.
Then husband... <trails off, blushing again>

Cologne: <thinking> Something doesn't add up.  Why a Japanese 
ceremony?
<out loud> Did son-in-law insist on the ceremony?

Shampoo: Husband very suprised.  Shampoo do ceremony for husband.

Scene fades to...

The boys locker room after gym class.  Ranma is dragging his feet.

Hiroshi: So Ranma, where were you during gym class?

Daisuke: For that matter, where have you been all day?

Ranma: Huh?  What nonsense are you making now?  I'm right here.

Hiroshi: Your body is here, your head hasn't been anywhere near here 
most
of the day.

Ranma: <yawns> I guess I am just a little tired.

Daisuke: Rough night last night?

Ranma: <startled> Huh?!  Uh...  Yeah, some kind of nightmare, I 
didn't
sleep very well. <takes off shirt to get ready for shower>

Hiroshi: <whistles> Whoa!  Ranma, what happened?  Your back is all
scratched up!

Ranma: <turns abruptly> Nothing!  Err...  I had an itch and I rubbed 
up
against a post.  There must have been a nail sticking out or 
something.

Hiroshi: Oh...  Well have you had that looked at? <suppresses a 
giggle>
Some of those look kinda deep and maybe those nails <giggle> were 
ummm...
rusty. <is looking over Ranma's shoulder at something and straining 
to
keep a straight face>

Ranma turns to see Daisuke "looking innocent".  Hiroshi and everybody 
else
behind Ranma beginning to imitate Daisuke's exagerated thrusting of 
his
hips while raking clawed fingers over the back of an imaginary lover.
They all stop when Ranma turns back.  With a scowl he grabs his towel 
and
heads off to the showers.  The room erupts in howls of laughter.

Scene fades to...

Outside Furinkan High, the bell has just rang and students emerge 
from the
building, some of them sit on the lawn and unpack lunches.  Akane, 
Ukyou
and Ranma come out.  Ranma holds his stomach which is audibly 
complaining.

Akane: You were the one that didn't eat half your breakfast, AND you 
were
so slow we didn't have time to make a lunch.

Ranma: I wasn't feeling too good then, but I'm-

Akane: Hungry now, obviously.

Ukyou: I can get us something at Ucchans, but I won't be able to heat 
the
griddle and leave us enough time to get back to class, it will have 
to be
cold.

Ranma: Anything's better than star- <notices Kasumi standing by the 
gate
with a covered basket> Hey!  It's Kasumi! <starts to run>

Akane and Ukyou catch up, Ranma has already taken the basket.

Kasumi: Hello Ukyou.  Akane, could you walk with me a moment, I wish 
to
speak with you.

Ukyou: Don't worry, I'll make sure he saves some for you. <turns to 
follow
Ranma>

Kasumi and Akane walk away, nothing is said for a few minutes.

Kasumi: What did you do in your room last night with Shampoo and 
Ukyou?

Akane is silent, after another minute, Kasumi continues.

Kasumi: When I went to make your bed this morning, your room was in
considerable disarray.  Your blankets were on the floor, the sheets 
from
your bed were gone.  I also found this.

Kasumi reaches into a bag which Akane had not noticed she was 
carrying and
pulls out the sake bottle.

Akane: <stops walking, turns pale> Umm...  We were having a little
celebration...  Er...  Now that the Ranma thing is solved.

Kasumi: <stops a few feet away, does not face Akane> Solved?

Akane: Yeah...  The Wedding, we're um...  Gonna have it next month.  
Time
to invite everybody and all that... <stares at the ground>

Kasumi: I see. <pause> By the way, cold water is better than hot 
water for
blood stains.

Akane looks up, but only sees that Kasumi is already walking away.

The scene shifts back to the lawn outside Furinkan High, Ukyou is 
guarding
a plate from Ranma as Akane approaches.

Ukyou: Hi Akane- NO!

Ukyou moves to block Ranma's attempt on the basket after a feint 
towards
the plate.  With a quick swipe, she uses her spatula to lift Akane's 
plate
to her and then sits and puts the basket on her lap.  Ranma realizes 
he's
stumped and sits down.

Ukyou: So what did Kasumi have to say?

Akane: <sits next to her> Oh nothing.  Just asked if Ranma was 
feeling
better.  <starts to eat>

Ranma: <lays back, staring at the sky> Kodachi worries me.

Ukyou: Oh?

Ranma: Yeah, it's not like her to give up this easily.  After 
yesterday
morning I expected her to try something else.  She wasn't in school
yesterday, isn't in school today either.

Akane: <between bites> How do you know that?

Ranma: I 'borrowed' an idea from Nabiki, I've got an informant.  
Heheh.
Don't tell her though, she'll start charging me money for my own
informant.

Ukyou: So what does this informant tell you?

Ranma: Well, usually she gets excitable... er... more than usual, a 
few
days before she tries something.  Yesterday came without any warning 
and
now I am finding out that Kodachi is missing school.

Kuno: SAOTOME YOU VILE CUR!  Who hast thou assaulted that they should 
lay
such marks upon thy back as they repulse thee?  Was it Akane?!  Or 
did you
defile the fair Pig-tailed Girl?  It matters not, for in the name of 
Akane
AND the Pig-tailed Girl, I shall punish thee!  The Blue Thunder of 
Furinkan
High doth swear it!

Ranma leaps from the ground immediately into a kick which Kuno fends 
off
with his bokkan.

Kuno: You would seek to delay the thrashing you so surely will 
receive but
you shall be fruitless! STRIKESTRIKESTRIKESTRIKE!

Ukyou: There they go again.

Akane: <looks at Ranma who is rather occupied, leans closer to Ukyou>
Kasumi found the sake bottle and...  I told her we were planning the
wedding for next month so we would have time to invite all the 
guests.  We
need to talk to Shampoo and make sure she doesn't blurt out the wrong
thing or we'll be in deep trouble.

Ranma barely dodges Kuno's wild strikes with his bokkan, he is not 
hit,
but some of them come close enough to leave small rips in his shirt.
Ranma stays in close, but has trouble finding openings in Kuno's 
offense.

Kuno: Stand still so that I may beat thee! STRIKESTRIKESTRIKESTRIKE!

Ukyou: She will probably meet us here when school is out.  We'll send
Ranma on ahead to tell Kasumi not to worry about dinner and we'll get 
the
story all straight. Oh, there's dessert here in the basket too. 
<divides
Ranma's portion between the two of them>

Ranma is tiring and visibly sweating, he has gone from trying to
counter-attack to merely trying to keep away.

Kuno: You cannot run forever Saotome! I will yet mete out the 
punishment
that you deserve! STRIKESTRIKESTRI-WHANG! Thok!

Ranma looks up to see Kuno crumple.  Ukyou is putting away her 
spatula
while Akane holds a small hand-sized mallet.

Akane: Come on Ranma! <makes the mallet vanish> We need to put the 
basket
away and get to class before we are late.

They head for the building as the bell rings, other students head in 
as
well.  The yard is deserted as the bell rings again.

Shadows lengthen and a few leaves or flower blossoms flutter by on 
the
wind.

The bell rings again and students flow out from the building, 
splitting
into two streams around the still-unconscious form of Kuno.  General
chatter goes something like: "Ranma really cleaned his clock this 
time."
"Nah, I saw it, Akane and Ukyou blindsided him, together!" "You're
kidding, where was Ranma?" "Actually, he was dancin' like a chicken 
trying
to outrun the axe." "Well I'll be...  Hey did you hear about earlier
during gym..."

Ukyou and Akane emerge from the building, they are about halfway to 
the
gate when Ranma comes out behind them.  They meet Shampoo at the gate 
and
a few moments later Ranma catches up to them.

Shampoo: Nihao Ukyou, Akane. <smile doubles in wattage> Nihao Ranma!

Akane: Ranma, you run on ahead and tell Kasumi that I'm taking care 
of
dinner.

Ranma: <thinking> Oh no, I'm gonna...  Well, dinner was ok last 
night...
Or was that part of the nightmare just trying to lull me... <out 
loud> Ok,
I'll see you later.

Ukyou: <quietly to Shampoo> We need to talk to you, Kasumi suspects
something, but none of the others do.  We need to make sure we all 
have
the same story.

Shampoo: Ranma go ahead!  Shampoo show Ranma, Shampoo so good, even 
teach
Akane be good cook!

Ranma: Uh...  Ok!  <runs towards the Tendo residence>

Shampoo: Go this way, shop for dinner.  Now what you talk about? 
<takes a
couple of steps, waits for Akane and Ukyou to follow>

Akane: Well...  Kasumi found some of the... 'trash' from last night 
and
she asked some questions.  I told her that we had planned the wedding 
for
next month-

Shampoo: Already do wedding, and honeymoon...

Akane: Right.  They still don't know that, when Genma woke up, Ranma 
was
in the guest room with him.  Everyone thinks he was there all night.  
I
told Kasumi that the three of us had partied after deciding on a 
date.  I
said a month so we could invite all of the guests and that stuff...

Ukyou: Our relationship with Ranma is at the whim of our respective
parents. <glances briefly at Akane> If we don't keep up the proper 
act for
them, Tendo Soun can demand that Ranma and Genma commit seppuku...

Shampoo: Ah, yes Shampoo say a month. <to herself> I can say that, it 
will
all be over in a few days and I can take my husband back to China 
where
their 'respective parents' will not be able to reach.

They walk for a while and reach a large, well-lit supermarket.  The 
sign
on the front says "International Market" in several languages.

Ukyou: I looked in here once, this place is expensive.

Shampoo: Yes, expensive.  But also hold secret, anybody can cook.

Shampoo leads them inside.  The store is divided into areas, with 
flags
hanging from the ceiling above to denote what can be found where.  
The
aisles are narrow, but not crowded as the only people in the store 
seem to
be tourists, and they are clustered in areas under their appropriate 
flag.
They work their way to the far side of the store.

Shampoo: Tourists and foreign residents shop here, like to see 
familiar
food.

Ukyou: Right. And the exclusive market enables them to use the high
mark-up required to compensate for the reduced turnover.

Akane: <gazing around> There's not very many people here, I wonder 
how
this place makes any money?

Shampoo: Here big secret! <she has stopped in an aisle between two 
large
display freezers, directly below an American flag> American Japanese 
food!

Akane/Ukyou: What?!

Shampoo: Everybody know Americans lazy.  Like to push button, ding, 
eat
dinner.  So Americans make push-button Japanese food. <gestures to 
various
places along the aisle> Also push-button Chinese, French, Italian,
Mexican, and American food too. <points and whispers to Ukyou> Best
American import, Hagen-daas.

Akane: American push-button American food?

Shampoo points to a package labeled 'White Castle'.

Akane: So what's the big secret?

Shampoo: <grabs package and turns it over before handing it to Akane>
Simple recipe, only six steps.  Three steps on how to open package.  
Even
child cook.

Akane fumes momentarily at Shampoo's inferrence, but realizes that 
she
must be right as she recognizes the instructions from last night.  
And
that Ranma ate it.  Willingly.  Akane listens as Shampoo gives a 
quick
description of which packages go together and how many to buy for 
each
person at the table (including conversion factors for one or more of 
those
persons being Ranma and Genma).

Selections are made and paid for, the 3 leave the store.

Scene fades to...

The Tendo house.  Soun is setting up the game table for after dinner, 
he
checks to make sure no one is watching and then moves just a couple 
of
pieces in the game left from last night.  Kasumi sets the table while
Nabiki watches Genma and Ranma train around and over the pond.  Genma
feints a low strike, drawing Ranma's block, then he shoves Ranma down 
into
the pond.

Nabiki: <amused> That's three.

Ranma ignores her as she goes into the kitchen to emerge a moment 
later
returned to male form.

Genma: <annoyed> Are you even trying?  First you skip our morning 
session,
then you put up this pitiful effort!  What has gotten into you?

Ranma doesn't say anything as he shuffles to a ready position 
opposite
Genma.

Ukyou comes in, Shampoo and Akane follow.  All are carrying 
groceries.
Ukyou leaves her bundle in the kitchen and then joins Nabiki watching
Genma and Ranma.

Shampoo and Akane stay in the kitchen and begin preparing the meal.

Shampoo: Shampoo make dessert.  You tell Shampoo if need help?

Akane: I think I can manage. <notices a pot of barely steaming water 
on
the stove with a ladle next to it> Is this ok to use?

Shampoo: Is ok, must boil.

Akane turns the heat on to high, then separates the bags which need 
to go
into the water and prepares the trays for the microwave. (No Akane, 
only
pierce plastic, not stab all through food...)

As the water boils, a splash is heard from the pond.  Akane has just 
put
the frozen bags into the pot when Ranma-chan walks dripping into the
kitchen.  She picks up the ladle and dips into the pot...

Ranma: YEEOOWWCH!!  WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!  That water doesn't 
need
to be that hot!

Akane: I'm sorry Ranma, I didn't know that you were using that.

Ranma scowls and storms out of the kitchen, Akane and Shampoo turn to 
each
other and laugh briefly.

A few minutes later, Ranma and Genma are still sparring.  The table 
is
finished and Kasumi has joined the others to watch.  Akane emerges 
from
the kitchen.

Akane: Dinner- <Genma sits at the table> -is ready!

Nabiki dashes in next to sit next to Genma rather than her usual 
spot.
The others come in followed by Ranma.  Akane finishes setting dishes 
on
the table, then serves Ranma's portion.

Nabiki: <thinking, inner 'comentary', as Ranma tastes and then 
shovels>
It looks like Akane has finally gotten it right, twice even, although 
I am
still glad to have Ranma as a pre-tester. <gets her own portion and 
eats>
Well, different colors than last night, but it tastes kind of the 
same...
<Ranma gets seconds> Oh come on Ranma, it isn't THAT good, although I
suppose bland is an improvement over lethal. <dinner is finished and
Shampoo gets up to fetch dessert> Now this is the one I have to watch 
out
for, but, I am ready... <glances to Genma and smiles>

Shampoo passes out bowls.  Genma digs in immediately, Ranma looks
suspicious, but a sweet smell of honey and cinnamon soon breaks down 
his
resistance.  Genma finishes quickly and sets his bowl down, looking 
at
Ranma eating while Ukyou and Akane tell Shampoo of meeting Kuno 
during
lunch.  Sensing movement, Genma looks down and notices that there are
still a few bites left in the bowl.  These are eaten and Genma looks
around again.  Ranma has finished his bowl and and merely tries to 
shrink
into himself as the others continue to chatter.  Genma notices more 
in his
bowl and although he can't figure out where it is coming from, he is 
not
going to complain.

After a few more tries, Genma decides that nothing more is going to
appear.  He stands up.  He falls down, snoring before he hits the 
floor.

Ranma: Aww come on pop!  I don't feel like carrying you upstairs 
tonight.

Shampoo: Shampoo help!

Soon everybody joins in to help carry Genma upstairs, Ranma grumbles 
while
everyone else seems to find amusement in the situation.  After 
everybody
wrestles him up the stairs and into bed, Shampoo stops Ranma as the 
rest
go down the stairs.

Shampoo: Half hour, clean up kitchen.  One hour after, Ranma come up.

Ranma goes downstairs and sits in front of the television, hardly 
paying
attention, as Soun and Kasumi plead fatigue and go to bed, Soun after
looking wistfully at the game table and it's unfinished game.  A few
minutes later, Nabiki yawns loudly and declares that she too is 
heading
for bed.

As the alloted time approaches, Ranma begins to feel queasy.  By the 
time
he goes upstairs, he is sweating and holding his stomach.

Without knocking, Ranma shoves the door open.

Ranma: Alright Shampoo, what have you done to me?!

Akane's room is again lit by candles.  Akane and Ukyou are naked, 
staring
blankly ahead as they kneel on her bed.  Shampoo seems to have been
interrupted mid-lecture as she turns to face Ranma.  Shampoo wears a
low-cut, slinky black dress.  Studded with tiny faceted gems, the 
many
points of reflected candle light caught Ranma's eye, or made him want 
to
look away, he hadn't quite decided...

Shampoo: Shampoo make sure husband learn lesson.

Ranma: What's that supposed to mea- <Ranma clutches his stomach 
tighter
and groans> What have you done?

Shampoo: Shampoo make sure husband learn lesson. <Shampoo dips water 
from
a bucket and douses Ranma>

Ranma: Whadja do...? <looks down at her stomach, looks back to 
Shampoo>

Shampoo: Shampoo give poison for boy-type Ranma, each time faster 
when
Ranma use hot water-

Ranma: WHY?!  What do I have to do for you to fix it?

Shampoo: <turns and smiles causing Ranma to back up a step> Ranma 
simply
learn lesson, Shampoo fix.

Scene fades to...

Nabiki's room.  Nabiki checks her tape recorder, she smiles as the 
level
meter flutters, showing her that she is getting a good recording.  
Nabiki
then picks up her camera, checks the film and opens her door just 
enough
so she will be able to see when Ranma comes upstairs.

When Ranma comes up, she gives him a minute to get to Akane's room 
and
slips silently out into the hall.  Arriving at Akane's door, Nabiki
carefully slides it open just enough to allow her to peer inside.

Shampoo: Ranma simply learn lesson, Shampoo fix.

Nabiki idly snaps a few pictures while Shampoo continues.

Shampoo: Ranma undress, lay on bed.

Ranma: I dunno, what is this 'lesson'?

Shampoo: <crosses room to door, puts hand on door as if to open> If 
Ranma
no want learn lesson, Shampoo promise cry at funeral.

Ranma: Alright!  I just wish you'd tell me what you want instead of 
all
these games!

Nabiki almost chokes trying to keep from laughing out loud.

Shampoo: First Ranma undress, then Shampoo explain lesson.

Nabiki watches as Ranma gets undressed, grumbling all the while.  
After
she lays down, Shampoo gives a hand signal.  Akane and Ukyou move to 
pin
Ranma's shoulders while Shampoo picks up a small wooden chest from 
the
table.  Opening it, Shampoo takes out a large jade phallus, Nabiki 
quickly
calculates the value of such a large piece of jade as she snaps a few 
more
pictures.

Shampoo reaches and spreads Ranma's thighs.  When Ranma momentarily
resists, she scowls.  She uses the tip of the large green rod to work 
at
Ranma's slit, working into the opening.

Shampoo: Lesson number one:  Girl not like when boy rush too hard,
especially when girl first time.

When Shampoo strikes the jade stalk with the heel of her palm, Nabiki
nearly loses her camera as she winces in shock.  Ranma screams and 
tries
to pull away.

Shampoo: When boy start slow, girl feel real nice.

Nabiki idly takes a few more snapshots as Shampoo slowly and 
deliberately
works Ranma to a frenzy.  As Ranma alternatly shrieks and mewls, 
Nabiki
wonders that she does not hyperventilate as Shampoo relentlessly 
drives
her to peak after peak.

Shampoo hands the phallus to Akane as she allows Ranma to catch her
breath.

Shampoo: You clean. <nods approval as Akane takes it and begins to 
lick it
clean> Now Ranma show if learn first lesson.

Shampoo dips hot water from a bucket near the first, splashes Ranma, 
then
points to Ukyou.  Nabiki watches, dumbfounded as Ukyou silently moves 
to
lay down on the bed.  Ranma approaches hesitantly to stand between 
Ukyou's
spread legs, and looks at Shampoo as if trying to be sure of her 
intent.

Shampoo: Suggest Ranma hurry, poison work on boy-type.

Nabiki takes several more pictures as Ranma proceeds to methodically 
and
relentlessly drive into Ukyou, starting slowly and building.  Ranma 
works
until he is dripping sweat as Ukyou shows all of the interest of 
watching
paint dry.  His face distorts in pain as Shampoo dips water, then 
stands
by tapping her toe expectantly.

Ranma is pale and clutching his stomach as he collapses, groaning, on 
top
of Ukyou before Shampoo finally triggers the change.

Shampoo: Ranma not learn enough, come back this lesson later. <Ranma 
turns
and glares, Shampoo ignores him> Now start lesson number two.

Shampoo points to the futon, next to Ukyou, who is still staring at 
the
ceiling.  Ranma lays down.  Shampoo then snaps her fingers at Akane.
Akane looks up from cleaning the jade piece, when Shampoo holds out 
her
hand she gives it to her.  Shampoo points to Ranma's crotch.

Shampoo: You clean.

Ranma: What is this?!

Shampoo: Is more than one way make girl feel nice. <dips hot water> 
Want
go direct to test now?

Ranma says nothing, merely spreading her legs and allowing Akane to 
kneel
between her thighs.  Nabiki seems to hesitate, weighing her own 
intentions
before she snaps the shutter once.  Akane mechanically licks around 
and
into Ranma's crotch as Ranma watches, an expression of shock across 
her
face.  Soon, moaning and screaming, Ranma frantically rocks her hips 
and
grasps at Akane's head.

Shampoo: Enough. <splash>

Nabiki's jaw tightens with rage as Akane suddenly chokes.  Ranma 
quickly
pushes Akane away and then moves to kneel on the floor beside her.

Ranma: Are you OK?! <Akane nods, gasping.  Ranma stands and steps 
towards
Shampoo> That was entirely-

Shampoo: If Ranma want antidote. <points to Akane> Show learned 
lesson.
Suggest hurry.

Ranma slowly turns to see that Akane has already started to climb up 
onto
the bed.  She lays down and automatically spreads her legs.  Ranma
pointedly ignores Shampoo as he kneels between Akane's thighs.  He 
catches
her scent, and realizes that he has suddenly become erect.  Gingerly
holding his stiff member, he feels ready to burst, even more than the
night before when Shampoo played with his pressure points.

Nabiki snaps one last picture, as the roll is finished.  As Shampoo 
dips
water, Nabiki slips back to her room and reloads the camera.  Then 
she
switches a second tape deck on and checks the levels before shutting 
off
and reloading the first.  Checking the hallway just before going out,
Nabiki catches Ryoga arriving at the top of the stairs.

Diving for her bed, Nabiki cringes as she hears structural damage 
being
done to Akane's door (umm...  That's about 40,000 yen...).  "RANMA!!  
This
time you will -- BWEEE--"  And silence...  After a moment, Nabiki 
peeks
out again.  She snaps a picture of Shampoo's back going down the 
stairs,
bonbori in one hand, unconscious P-Chan in the other.  Seeing that 
Akane's
shattered door offers no cover, Nabiki sits down and puts on 
headphones.

Ranma: <strained, painful> Look, she didn't tell you to keep me in 
this
form. <deep breath> And I promise, on my honor, that I won't try to
escape. <gasp> But please let me change...

Scene fades to...

P-Chan comes to.  His first awareness is of a fetter tightly bound to 
his
leg.  A thick wire binds him to a metal stake, it quickly proves
impervious to any effort he can muster as P-Chan.  Then he notices a 
sheet
of paper, propped up just out of his reach.  The instructions are 
quite
explicit, extolling the virtues of bacon and fried pork cutlets, with 
nary
a mention of hot water...

Scene fades to...

Shampoo returns to Akane's room.  Ranma-chan lies in the center of
