Okay, this ain't done either, but hey-- why not let
you see what IS done?
Because we will fry our brains out from trying to
guess what happens next?
Before I gear up to the somewhat... different part.
^_^
Lots of actions, I'm hoping.
Most people didn't understand the truth about
Cologne. Which suited her just fine.
For example, she was a closet fan of yaoi
comics... ^_^;
Something had happened along with the cure,
Cologne decided. Something important. Ranma would
vanish for extended periods, and no-one knew where.
He wasn't talking about it. He wasn't, in fact,
acting much like Ranma. He was acting as though he
was finally maturing.
Hmm... how much did a curse have to do with
his long-held immaturity?
This point I have got to wonder; is it possible
to measure Ranma's maturity, given the amount of
stress and sheer lunacy in it? Given the generosity
and big heart he has, I don't think he's that
immature...
Episode Four : Fearsome Battle! Paragon VS
Ferriko!
So she will finally get to finish an opponent
instead of SM?
(Incidentally, he was right. Since where
other girls would have fought with spiteful words or
hair-pulling, his not-so-wanted fiancees would have
fought with spatula, bonbori, ribbons, and the
occaisional mallet, most girls who would have made a
play for the young martial artist tended to feel that
they'd have to try for second best.
Hmm. This can explain why he isn't shown to be
overly popular from normal girls in manga...
Instead, Naoko had to worry about boys.
Fortunately, the males in Juuban were strangely less,
well, frothing pits of boiling hormonal letchery than
the ones in Nerima. She had discovered that the
worst
thing she had to look forwards to was an ill-phrased
attempt to make a date instead of the more familiar
(and much less liked) leer or glomp and thinly veiled
(when veiled at all) suggestion of immediate intimate
physical activity. The boys of Juuban were much
less-- for lack of a better term-- perverted. Akane
would have been astonished.
Eh? Where are you getting this? I can think of no
scene where Hiroshi, Daisuke, and other "normal" guys
of Nerima were acting like that (at least, out of
their own free will; magical influence, on the other
hand...) Even the mob that used to attack Akane said
only stuff like "Date with me!" and such, not as in
"Wanna go to this cool hotel?"
The girls though-- well, it looked like every
time Ranma hit Juuban he'd attract at least a dozen
admiring gazes. Hair would surreptitiously be
adjusted to best effect, compacts would come out for
a
quick check, and preparations would be made for
a clever and apparently accidental meeting. (In
Juuban, as in much of Tokyo, accidentally-on-purpose
meeting a boy was the preferred method. As opposed
to
Nerima, where it seemed that it was either
challenging
him to combat or making some flat out insane
entrance.)
Now this I can agree with. They see only an
unnamed extremely attractive boy on surface, and has
no way of knowing that he's one of the hardest males
to win in multiverse.
(One can see that Ranma/Naoko had an understandably
skewed view of what was normal for a martial artist.)
And can anyone really blame him/her?
Approaching, Usagi curiously poked her face
straight into Naoko's to see what possible blemish
the
pretty redhead could have.
*BLINK**BLINK* You keep stressing Ranma's
attractiveness. Not that I argue, but does that
mean..?
decorated. Which, frankly, she was somewhat pleased
with, since she wasn't at all certain she could
handle
it for "real". She barely understood lipstick, and
that was only because of a few pre-cure episodes that
had required it.
Hmm... Come to think of it, Ranma never was
seriously using a makeup...
"Um... well, you know, minor things like
burglars and the like." (And oni, and dragons, and
Saff-- don't go there, Ranma.)
Still suffering from the trauma, I see.
"I sort of have to be, if I want to be as
good
as... Him." Naoko allowed herself a starry look,
again giving the impression that she had something of
a denied crush on her as yet unnamed idol.
I bet she's good at it, too. Ranma always was
sort of a narscist. ^_^
Off the subject a bit, any chance Usagi, or any
of her friends, would recognize Ranma's name? Given
that he's a world-class martial artist, maybe Makoto
or Haruka might.
"I KNOW I saw him."
Oh goody, the Boy Hunters!
Minako peered at the taller girl uncertainly.
"You aren't suggesting that he's an enemy, are you?"
Given the number of previous happenstances,
that's actually a good possibility.
"No... I don't get that kind of feeling about
him. But maybe he's gay?"
Not in this fanfic. At least, I hope not.
Minako blanched. "No! That's not possible!
He's too CUTE!"
But it's those bishonen types that are the usual
suspects. ^_^
The blonde thought. "Maybe... he's had bad
experiences with girls before. Dumped, or something,
and so he's shy about it. So he's avoiding them
because he's trying to deal with a tragic
heartbreak?"
Bad experiences yes, dumped hell no.
"I still saw him first."
"Oh, stop SAYING that..."
He's taken anyway. Unless Ranma turns out to be
THE senpai who dumped her (which isn't happening in
this fic, given Makoto's earlier statement), Makoto
doesn't have a chance. And Minako owns a cat, which is
a definite minus.
The only male martial artist that she knew
of-- besides Mamo-chan, who had studied a little
kendo
once, which stood him in good stead as Tuxedo Kamen--
was that wierd boy who would show up at Rei's place
every once in a while, looking for either someplace
called the Tendo Dojo or a pig farm. Hmm... there
was
a thought. He was pretty cute, and might be just the
kind of guy that Naoko needed.
Although he did seem to have a problem with
directions. At least, she was fairly certain that he
had headed towards Kyoto when directed to Nerima.
So, if she tried to set Naoko up with a nice
boy, it had better be one that would get to the date
on time.
Well, Ranma was willing to wait a week or more
for Ryoga, so that shouldn't be a problem. ^_^ Of
course, this pairing isn't happening either.
AND who was a martial artist. Hmm...
Mako-chan knew a lot about martial arts, maybe she
would know of someone.
Sooner or later, Usagi will convince herself that
the only boy Naoko would be interested in would be her
unnamed idol. Should be interesting to watch. ^_^
Meanwhile, Naoko, unaware that her life was
about to become feminine social hell, was trying not
to explode at the fifth silly dress that Usagi had
found in THIS shop.
Feminine social hell? I assume that's in the
section you haven't finished yet?
Hmm. Maybe things were looking up a bit.
Mamoru, you fool. Run while you can, because
here's someone who has the word "chaos" in his/her
name.
"MAMO-CHAN!" Mamoru braced himself for the
almost bullet-like impact of Usagi's hug. He wasn't
dissapointed.
If Usagi's is bullet-like, then what's Shamps'?
Cannonball-like?
"Ah..." The redhead looked a bit flustered,
and then replied, "Likewise. You have to be
Usagi-chan's boyfriend?" (DAMN, he's WAY older than
her. Then again, I see wierder realtionships all the
time. Mostly mine.)
Yeah, check out Ranma/Cologne fics. ^_^
Prayers are answered sometimes.
Especially when they are asking for trouble.
Can't wait for the completed version! Finish it
quick, or I will... I will... Let's see, what CAN I
do?
Oh well.
