--------------------------------

Akane shook her head trying to figure out what was going on today. 
<This all has to be some weird dream. First daddy tells us that some 
guy is going to show up and one of us is engaged to him, and then 
some girl and a panda show up. This is too weird to be real.>

Akane sighed, entering the changing room. She absentmindedly noticed 
the Chinese clothes in the dirty clothes bin. She quickly took off her 
clothes, and entered the bathing room.

<Dream. I am definitely dreaming,> Akane thought seeing the naked guy 
with a pig-tail exiting the bath. She gazed for a long moment at his 
body. <A wet dream at that. Might as well play along.>


Ranma stared in shock at Akane, seeing her naked body except what the 
all-too-little wash cloth covered up. He had no idea what to say or do. 
This was not how he wanted anyone to find out about his curse.

Ranma was about to regain enough capacity of thought to say something 
when Akane dropped the wash cloth. His mind quickly took a vacation, 
especially after Akane walked over and started to kiss him.

<Stop this! Push her away! You don't want to do this with her! You just 
met her!> part of Ranma's mind screamed.

<Why should I care?! She started it! She wants it! And having sex is 
*MANLY*!!!!> another part retorted loudly.

The two voices argued while Akane continued to arouse him...

--------------------------------

Akane's state of euphoria was short lived. Something did NOT seem right. 
If this was a wet dream, she should be awake now considering how intense 
it was. Also, her partner should have been better at what he was doing. 
A sickening realization started to occur to her. That it might not have 
been a dream.

Akane's eyes went wide as she stared at him. She couldn't get her mouth to 
work. She backed away from him and into the changing room. She quickly 
put her clothes on.<This couldn't have happened. This can't be 
happening. I... with a guy I...> 

Akane moved into the hallway, slamming the door behind her. She then 
screamed loud enough to be heard in China.


The sound of a woman screaming startled Ranma awake. The fact he was 
naked and in the bathing room of some unknown house prevented his gut 
reaction of rushing to find out who was screaming. Sorting through his 
thoughts, he could guess who screamed... and why.

Ranma went into the changing room and quickly put his clothes on. He 
then nervously entered the hallway.


"There's a pervert in the bathing room!" Akane shouted angrily, holding 
a large stone statue. <If I kill him, no one has to know.>

"Why don't you kill him with your bare hands?" Nabiki asked.

"Because... because I'm afraid!"
  
"That's odd. Ranma went to take a bath before you did," Kasumi said. She 
then noticed some guy approaching them. "Who... who..."

"Who are you?" Nabiki asked.

Ranma blushed deeply. "I'm... Saotome Ranma." He looked at Akane. "I'm 
REALLY sorry about this."

Akane dropped the stone statue on to the back porch, cracking it and 
barely missing her feet. <I'm still dreaming. That's got to be it. This 
is all a nightmare.>

--------------------------------

Akane listen as Ranma and Genma explained their curses and REALLY wished 
this was all a dream. <I'm in the Twilight Zone. This has all got to be 
some grotesque dream that I can't wake from.>

"Your problem isn't so bad after all!" Soun said.

<Oh, no! He can't...> Akane thought.

"My daughter Kasumi, age 19. Nabiki, age 17. And Akane, age 16. Pick the 
one you want and she's your fiancee."

"Oh, he wants Akane!" Kasumi suggested strongly.

"Oh, definitely!" Nabiki seconded.

Ranma and Akane looked at each other and then down at the floor. "Fine," 
they said in unison in a voice that indicated everything wasn't fine.

"They're already talking as one!" Soun cheered.

"A perfect couple!" Genma added.

<A perfect couple of idiots,> Akane wanted to correct him.

--------------------------------

<Baka. Baka. Baka. Baka. Baka. Baka. Baka. Baka. Baka. Baka. Baka,> 
Akane's mind repeated to herself. <How could I have been so... so 
stupid! And that pervert! How dare he do that with me?!> She angrily 
cleaned herself.


Onna-Ranma's mind was so jumbled, she didn't know what to think. She 
walked into the changing, hoping a warm bath could help sort out her 
thoughts. She went to open the door, only to find that Akane had 
already opened it and was staring at her. "Ah..."

Akane stared angrily at her rather female fiance. She drew her hand back 
ready to slap Ranma.

"Why?" the red-head asked.

"Why what?" Akane snapped.

"Why did ya seduce me?"

Akane seethed. She wanted to blame it all on Ranma, but knew she had 
started it. "As far as I'm concerned, that NEVER happened! And it won't 
happen for a long time, if ever! I thought I was dreaming. Hell, I hope 
I'm still dreaming and I'll wake from this nightmare."

"I've been wishing that for over two weeks now."

The sadness in Ranma's voice broke through some of Akane's anger. "Well, 
maybe we'll be able to figure some way of salvaging our lives. But if 
you ever tell anyone about what happened, I'll make you wish you were 
never born."

Ranma nodded. She then slipped past Akane and went into the bathing 
room, shutting the door behind herself. 

--------------------------------

Ranma followed Akane to school. <I don't understand why I have to go to 
school. It's not like anything they'd teach would help me as a martial 
artist.> He looked down at Akane from the fence. <Is she my fiancee, 
lover, just a friend, or nothing at all? Well, she said what happened 
yesterday was a mistake, so I guess that rules out lover.>

Akane glanced back at Ranma. <I don't want to be engaged to him. I don't 
love him. I hate boys, and he's a total pervert!> She closed her eyes 
tightly. <But... but I don't see how I can't marry him. Dad engaged us 
by giri and I lost my virginity to him.> She sighed. <Why did my life 
have to be put in the blender on puree setting?>

"Don't tell anyone about our engagement. I'd rather not deal with the 
idiots who won't just mind their own business," Akane angrily commanded.

"Maybe if we ignore it long enough, our parents will forget about it," 
Ranma replied, a little jokingly.

Akane gave a sarcastic laugh. "Doubt it. My Dad can be pretty stubborn."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. My Pop can be a real stubborn pain in the 
ass."

WHAM<

"Is that anyway to talk about your father, boy?" Genma demanded.

"It is when your father is worthless idiot!" Ranma retorted.

"Ranma, you need to learn..." Genma's lecture was cut short by a foot 
sweep. The elder Saotome fell into the river, and emerged a moment later 
as a panda. He engaged Ranma in battle until his son became his 
daughter.

Akane watched the fight and decided to see how much it'd cost her to get 
Nabiki to find a way out of her betrothal.

"I'm going to go take a bath," Ranma said, disgustedly.

Akane replied, "You'll be late for school if you do. We'll stop and get 
you some hot water."

--------------------------------

"Ranma, here's your hot..," Akane started to say, turning the corner to 
see Ranma standing in front of Dr. Tofu. "Oh, d-doctor... ah, good 
morning," she said with a bow. Tears welled up into her eyes.

Ranma moved around the corner to use the hot water.

"You haven't been by in a while. No new injuries?"

"No sir. I mean... I haven't exactly done..."

Ranma noticed the Akane's strange reaction. <Hmm... she might be in love 
with this doctor. If I pair them up maybe I won't have to marry her.>

"Well, we got to go. See you later, Dr. Tofu," Akane said hurriedly.

Dr. Tofu noticed two things as they left. One, there was a guy running 
with Akane now who was wearing the same thing as the girl he had scared. 
Two, Akane had injured herself between her legs. He hoped that injury 
was because she tried to walk on the fence like the boy with her was.


"So, what's with you and the doctor?" the now male Ranma asked, racing 
towards the school.

"Nothing, absolutely nothing. He's just been my doctor since I was 
little," Akane replied, her voice sounding both angry and sad.

"Are you in love with him?"

"It doesn't matter. I'll never be able to marry him now... and he loves 
someone else." 

They continued towards the school, and with each step, Akane's sadness 
was replaced by her growing anger. When the school was in sight, Akane 
yelled, "I hate boys!!" She was attacked by dozens of guys. Ranma almost 
joined in to help her, until he noticed that she didn't need any help. 
Akane moved through the horde like a chainsaw, cutting them down and 
wasn't taking any hits.

"Grr... every morning. When will they learn?" Akane snarled.

"Truly such a boorish lot. Evidently each of them intends to ask you 
out, Akane, on the dawn that he finally defeats you," a man in samurai 
garb said as he approached her.

"Oh, sempai, good morning," Akane greeted dryly.

"And now, Tendo Akane, might you fight with me?"

"Man. You're popular, aren't you?" Ranma said, jumping down next to 
Akane.

"Stay out of the way. You'll get hurt," Akane snapped.

"What's going on?"

"You'll see."

"You there." Kuno pointed his bokken at Ranma. "You are being quite 
familiar with Akane!"

"Tell him, Akane?" Ranma asked.

Akane was about to ask what he was referring to, but then thought it'd 
probably be a good idea. "Kuno-sempai, I'd like you to meet Saotome 
Ranma... my fiance." She couldn't hide all of her disgust when she said 
it.

"F-f-fi-fian-FIANCE!?!?!?!"

Several students ran over Kuno when they swarmed around Ranma and Akane 
asking all sorts of questions.

--------------------------------

"I thought you wanted to keep it a secret," Ranma said. He was standing 
with Akane outside the classroom. They were both late because of 
everyone that asked them questions.

"Yeah, but maybe it'll end the morning battles," Akane replied, looking 
away from him.

"But that's a good way to spar."

"Oh, sure. Once in a while, but it gets rather annoying when it happens 
EVERY morning," Akane retorted bitterly.

--------------------------------

Things largely started to repeat what happened in the manga series from 
here. The primary difference being that Ranma and Akane accepted their 
engagement to the point of acknowledging they will eventually marry when 
they were ready. They still hated it. Neither of them found a way to 
break it without destroying their honor, especially when combined with 
the fact they had lost their virginity to each other.

Ranma's acceptance had caused him to be less insulting over-all and thus 
avoided getting hit as often, but comments about Akane being loose 
sexually were quickly retorted with a beating.

The incident with Mikado though, was changed a little in the aftermath 
of the kiss:

"Of course, if that had been your first kiss, that would be a tragedy," 
Nabiki joked.

"But certainly that wasn't the case, was it, Ranma?" Kasumi giggled.

"Thank Kami-sama, no," Ranma said. 

"By the way, who was your first kiss?" Nabiki inquired.

"Yes, Ranma, tell us who it was?" Ryoga snarled slightly.

"Um, er, ah," Ranma stammered, glancing nervously at Akane.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of to tell us about your first kiss," 
Kasumi pleasantly insisted.

"Come on, tell us, Ranma!" Ryoga demanded.

Nabiki looked towards Akane, wondering why she hadn't said anything. 
Nabiki saw her blushing DEEP red. The middle Tendo sister grinned at 
this and tapped Kasumi's shoulder.

Kasumi turned and looked and saw that Nabiki was pointing to their 
blushing sister. "Oh!" She smiled at her youngest sister, making 
Akane's blush deepen. <That answers that question.>

Ryoga never did get the answer as he and Ranma started to fight.

The Tendo sisters thought it would be wise not to let their father or 
Genma know. A fair portion of Furinkan High purchased that 
information, much to Kuno's ire and Ranma's and Akane's displeasure. 

--------------------------------
-Six and a half weeks since Ranma arrived at the Tendo home.

Ranma was completely stunned when the recently defeated Shampoo started 
to french kiss him, and not the kiss on the cheek he was expecting.

Akane cut it short with a bonbori to Ranma's head. She then stared down 
the purple-haired Amazon.

Everyone quickly assumed Shampoo was Ranma's girlfriend from China, 
which he hotly denied. "She never seen me as a boy before!" Ranma 
insisted.

"Oh, your lover gives a kiss for a first meeting!" Akane said bitterly.

"Akane! Now you know..."

"What?!" Akane angrily interrupted, glaring at him.

"I already told you everything about my love life before I arrived 
here!" Ranma said angrily.

"Somehow I doubt that," Akane said dryly, looking at Shampoo who was 
cuddling up to Ranma. She turned around and angrily stomped away.

--------------------------------

"Now listen, Shampoo. Get out of the stone-age. Those kill woman who 
beats you and marry man who defeats you is completely outdated," Ranma 
said. "You get it, Shampoo?"

Shampoo jumped up to Ranma. "Ailen."

"You don't get it." He backed away from her. "Now listen! I ain't going 
to marry you."

Shampoo continued to advance on him. "Wo ai ne!"

Ranma jumped away from her. "I already got a fiancee!"

Either Shampoo didn't understand what he said or didn't care, she leapt 
towards her 'husband.'

Ranma did the only thing he could think of, he ran. <It don't matter if 
she is cute. I gotta marry Akane, even if I don't want to.>

"Akane, you're just going to let her chase him?" Nabiki asked.

"As long as he doesn't let her catch him, I don't care," Akane replied. 
She tried to keep an indiscriminate eye on Ranma as he ran. 

--------------------------------

Kasumi looked up while she placed breakfast on the table, and saw Akane 
about to enter. "Akane, are you all right? You look a little pale."

"I'm fine," Akane gave a quick reply.

"Probably just this Shampoo thing getting to her," Nabiki commented.

Kasumi nodded. "Could you wake Ranma?" she asked Akane.

"Fine," Akane grumbled.


A hideous growl escaped from Akane when she opened the door to Ranma's 
room, and found Shampoo sleeping with Ranma in his bed. The fact they 
were wearing clothes prevented their deaths for the moment. Her mind 
raced for possible ways to handle this, a convenient bucket of water was 
her answer. Ranma started to run for her life away from Shampoo.


"Let's get this straight. Shampoo crawled into my bed, and I didn't know 
that until you splashed me," Ranma angrily explained to Akane.

"Did I ask for you to explain it? You and Shampoo are making me sick to 
my stomach." <Literally.>

"Did you hear what I said!? I did nothing wrong!"
"I'm not buying you didn't know!"

"You know how sound a sleeper I am. Anyone could easily slip into my 
room, and I wouldn't know it!"

Akane just growled, and proceeded to ignore him. Her nerves were 
starting to make her sick.

--------------------------------

Getting rid of Shampoo proved to be an arduous undertaking. Shampoo 
used a special technique to cause Akane to forget who Ranma was for a 
while. It ended with Ranma lying to Shampoo about his true gender.

The day after Shampoo left, Akane wasn't feeling well and went to Dr. 
Tofu's. He gave her a concerned look after explaining the symptoms. He 
ran some tests, and the one he was most afraid of being positive, was.

Dr. Tofu sighed when he returned to the examination room. Akane was 
scared seeing the serious look of concern in Dr. Tofu's face.

"I, ah, have the results of the tests..." Dr. Tofu took a deep breath. 
"You're not exactly sick... you are pregnant."

"You're joking!" Akane gasped.

Dr. Tofu shook his head. "I wish I was. But the pregnancy test came up 
positive. You are going to be a mother."

Akane stared at the doctor. Wanting, needing a sign he was joking. She 
couldn't find any. She grabbed Dr. Tofu in a desperate hug, and started 
crying. "I can't be pregnant! I can't!"

After over an hour when Akane had stopped crying, the doctor asked. 
"Who's the father?"

Akane couldn't believe this was happening. She looked at her hands that 
were twitching uncontrolably in her lap. "R-Ranma," she finally answered 
in a rather meek voice.

"How did it happen?"

"I, ah, well, it was an accident. We didn't mean to do it. We only did 
it that one time," Akane answered, sounding like a mouse.

Dr. Tofu looked at his patient. She was shivering, her face devoid of 
blood, and her eyes were unfocused. She was in no condition to explain 
anything to her right now. "Akane, I suggest you come back in a couple 
days to discuss your pregnancy."

Akane shuddred and then nodded.

After couple suggestions of how to deal with morning sickness, Akane 
walked out of Dr. Tofu's clinic. She walked home looking very much like 
a zombie.

"I'm home," Akane said unemotionally.

"Welcome back. How was the doctor's visit?" Kasumi greeted her at the 
door.

"Ah, fine."

"So, what was wrong, and why were you there for so long?"

"Oh, ah, he ran some tests to make sure about a couple things. There is 
nothing really wrong." <Just my entire life is gone now.> "I'm going to 
take a nap." Akane started up the steps, and then stopped. "Um, do you 
have any ginger?"

"No, why do you ask?"

"Dr. Tofu suggested I put some into water and drink it a couple times a 
day."

Kasumi blinked a couple times. <But that's usually used for... She 
couldn't be...> She shook her head. <It's probably stress and a weak 
stomach, that's all.> "I'll go pick some up when I go to the store."

"Thanks, oneechan." Akane hurried up the stairs. She was more than 
thankful to find P-Chan resting on her bed.

Akane hugged her pet tightly. "What am I going to do now? My life is 
over. I supose I could just end it, but I'm not sure if I could... or 
even want to. I just don't know. This is all too soon. I'm too young. 
This shouldn't happen to me!"

P-Chan didn't know what Akane was babbling about, but was sure whatever 
her problem was, it was Ranma's fault. He was afraid her comment about 
'ending it' meant she was considering suicide.

Akane gazed into the mirror and sighed. "Tendo Akane is dead, long live 
Saotome Akane... or will it be Tendo Ranma? I never did ask. I knew it 
was going to happen... but I wanted more time."

P-Chan was frozen in shock. He started to gain rational thought when 
Akane's tears started to fall on his head.

"How could we've been so stupid? Why did we do it? Why?" Akane sobbed. 
"I'm sixteen, pregnant, and as good as married." She punched the wall. 
"My life is over, all because of one REALLY stupid moment."

Akane lift the bewieldered pig to her face. "Do you have any ideas that 
could help me?"

P-Chan just looked at her blankly.

"Of course not. You're just a stupid pig." Akane shook her head. "Not 
that I'm much smarter it would seem." She collapsed into bed, staring at 
the ceiling her mind in so much termoil that she couldn't fall asleep.

P-Chan mind was similarly in a state of confusion. <Akane is... 
p-p-p-pr-pr-pre-pregnant?! Ranma had s-s-s-sex with Akane?! That 
honorless bastard took away her purity... her innocence!! I'm going to 
kill him!!!> The little pig pulled away from Akane and ran out of the 
room.

"P-Chan? What got into that pig?" Akane wondered, but then fell back 
into the bed. She couldn't muster the desire to chase after him.

--------------------------------

Ranma returned home, and made a bee-line for the kitchen. He grabbed a 
snack Kasumi had already prepared for him. "So, how's Akane?" he asked 
Kasumi between bites.

"She said nothing was wrong." Kasumi sighed. "But I don't think she told 
me everything. Could you take a snack up to her and check on her?"

Ranma shrugged. "Sure." He grabbed the plate of muffins and two cups 
filled with tea. He then went to her room and knocked on the door.

"It's open," Akane replied.

Ranma opened the door and entered. "Yo, Akane. How are you feeling?"

Akane looked at him, shaking her head slightly. "You tell me."

"How would I know?"

Akane sat up in bed and motioned for Ranma to sit next to her. "After 
you hear what I have to say, you'll have a clue." She took an offered 
muffin and tea from Ranma. 

"Are you trying to give me whatever you got?" Ranma sat the rest of the 
muffins, minus two, on the desk.

"*I* can't give you this."

Ranma shrugged and sat on the bed.

Akane sighed, picking at her muffin. "I went to Dr. Tofu to see why I 
was sick this morning. It appears that I'm not exactly sick, it was 
morning sickness."

Ranma blinked. "If you're not sick then why is what you got called 
morning sickness?" He stuffed a muffin into his mouth.

Akane couldn't believe he didn't know what she meant by that. "Ranma, 
morning sickness is caused by being pregnant."

It took a second for Ranma to register what she said, and then started 
gagging the muffin. Akane tried to help by slapping him on the back, 
HARD.

"Wh-what?!" Ranma stammered.

"We're going to be parents." There was not the least bit of joy in 
Akane's voice.

"Who's the father?" Ranma asked in utter shock.

Akane punched him into the wall. "You are." 

"A-are you sure?"

"I've only had sex once, and that was with you, so who else could it 
be?" Akane snarled in a low voice. She did not feel like walking over to 
where he was to hit him again.

"Are you sure you're... p-pr-pregnant?"

"I'm sure. It took an hour crying on Dr. Tofu's shoulder for me to 
accept it. I'm still having a hard time believing it."

"But-but-but we're only sixteen?! How are we going to deal with this? I 
mean raising a kid is expensive. There's diapers, food, college, and 
where will he sleep? Oh, manohmanohman." He babbled on for several 
minutes while pacing quickly around the room. 

Akane giggled at the reaction, surprised at how Ranma's angst filled 
rant soothed her.

Ranma stopped pacing and looked at her. "Are you REALLY sure?"

Akane nodded. "I wish I wasn't sure. I wish I wasn't pregnant, but I 
am."

Ranma sighed. "I wanted to wait until I'm eighteen or so, but..." He 
closed his eyes. "I guess we gotta get married now. We'll figure some 
way of raising our kid."

"I guess we do." Akane sighed. "Ranma, how do you feel about me?"

"Huh?" 

"Since we're getting married, I'd like to know how you feel about me."

Ranma looked at Akane like a frightened deer. "Oh, um, well... ah, I, 
ah, l-l-like you a lot. I'm not sure if I, ah, l-l-l-lo... ah, you know. 
I definitely care about you. I was more concerned about you being sick 
this morning than I ever was when Pop was sick."

Akane smiled at Ranma. "I don't think I love you yet, but I can see that 
happening in time. I do care about you." She sighed. "And I do really 
like you. Getting jealous over that Amazon bimbo proved that at least."

Ranma smiled weakly. "I, ah, I'm going out for a while to think. We can 
tell everyone over dinner."

Akane nodded. She watched him jump out her window, and continued to pick 
at her muffin. <He took that better than I expected. If I find out he's 
running away from this, I'm going to kill him.>

--------------------------------

Akane fidgeted nervously. Dinner was ready and there was no sign of 
Ranma. She was deathly afraid Ranma had run away and didn't know what to 
do. She reluctantly started to eat dinner waiting for some sign that 
Ranma was just running late. She did not want to face this alone.

Kasumi was worried, Akane was showing signs of something that she didn't 
think was possible yet. The fact that Akane was scared and Ranma was 
missing only made the eldest Tendo girl even more concerned.

Genma and Soun only thought it was strange for Ranma to miss a meal.

Nabiki knew something was up, but hadn't figured out what it was.

They were startled by an explosion just outside the back wall-fence.

"Ranma, DIE!!!!" Ryoga was heard screaming.

Ranma jumped higher than the wall and was momentarily visible to those 
eating dinner. He had yet to get more than a couple coherent words from 
the lost boy on why he was attacking, but had a good idea what it was.

Akane was visibly relieved. <Ranma was late because of a fight.>

Ranma was quickly losing ground to the raging martial artist and decided 
that the pig need to cool off. He stood in one spot for a second and 
dodged Ryoga's punch at the last second, causing the lost boy to hit a 
fire hydrant. It sprayed water every where transforming both of them. 
Ranma grabbed the pig and punted him far, far away.

Ranma then jumped over the wall-fence and walked over to the dining 
room. "Sorry I'm late."

"At least you're here now." Akane didn't bother to ask what started the 
fight, and, quite frankly, didn't care. All she cared about right now was 
what she was facing.

Ranma grabbed some of the hot water from a teakettle and turned back 
into a guy. Kasumi then gave him some food she had hiden from Genma and 
he quickly ate it. 

When dinner was finished, Kasumi didn't immediately move to clean up, 
since she believed Ranma and Akane had something to say. She hoped they 
didn't and it was just her imagination.

"Ranma and I have something to announce," Akane began.

Kasumi frowned, her hopes washing away.

"You two want to get married now?" Genma half joked, half questioned.

Akane sighed and Ranma fidgeted, and then they both nodded.

"What?!" Genma, Soun, and Nabiki gasped.

"Akane and I decided we want to get married, and we don't see a reason 
to wait," Ranma said a bit nervously.

Genma and Soun started to dance for joy.

"Any reason why you decided this?" Nabiki questioned.

"D-do we really need a reason," Ranma replied.

"Akane, i-is there something else that we should know?" Kasumi asked.

"You know already, don't you?" Akane asked meekly.

"I don't know. I suspect it might be..." Kasumi couldn't bring herself 
to say it. "Ah, but I don't see how it could be THAT."

Nabiki was mentally pulling her hair out with them beating around the 
bush. "All right, Akane, what is it?"

Akane closed her eyes tight. "We decided to get married because... 
I-I-I-I'm p-pre-pregnant."

A drip from the kitchen sink was heard.

"You're WHAT?!" Nabiki yelled.

Soun fainted.

"Ranma is the father, right?" Genma asked.

"Akane, pardon me for saying this, but how could you do something so 
stupid!?" Kasumi yelled.

"It was an accident. It just sort of happened. I don't know why we did 
it, we just did."

"How did it happen?" Nabiki asked, planning great amounts of pain for 
Ranma.

Akane sighed and fidgeted. "On the day Ranma showed up here..."

Nabiki and Kasumi blinked. Genma grinned.

"...everything was so confusing. That I might be engaged to a guy I 
never met before. That the guy was a girl. Not to mention the panda 
walking around acting like it was human. It all seemed like a weird 
dream." Akane let out a long breath. "Then I walked into the bath 
expecting to see the girl and saw him. My mind couldn't take it anymore 
and thought it was all just a dream and decided to play along with it 
and have some fun. So... I seduced him, not that it took much to do it."

"Let me get this straight, you seduced him?" Nabiki asked 
disbelievingly.

Akane nodded.

"And you had sex on the day you met him?"

She nodded again.

"Ranma, and why did you go along with it?" Nabiki asked bitterly.

Ranma had been trying to blend into the wall, but now he gulped. "Well, 
it was hard to ignore what she was doing... and I hadn't exactly felt 
manly after getting cursed and thought going along with what she was 
doing would help prove my manliness."

Genma grimaced at the mention of Ranma's manliness.

Kasumi sighed. "I guess we have to prepare for a wedding."

Author's notes:
Part 2 - Ryoga PISSED. Kuno outraged. Shampoo returns with Cologne.

This will hopefully only be 4 part series, so it'll probably be 8 parts ;)

BTW: Time wise in this fict it was only a couple weeks ago Kasumi freaked
out when Akane got her BAD haircut, so it is not OOC for Kasumi to react
to Akane's pregnancy like that. If Akane got pregnant after Hiryu Shuten
Ha story, then her comment would be OOC as she became largely unaffected
by anything after that. (Interesting that is the same time Dr. Tofu
mysteriously disappears.)
