This is Tempting Destiny chapter 2
It was originally named A demon named Damon made me do it.
I decide not to write my Self -Insert into it and so some minor

Ranma Tenchi X-over
Chapter 2
What shapes our dreams .....
This chapter has a lime warning with a hint of lemon.
But there are no sex scenes depicted. I am not that good of a
writer.
Comment questions, flames, etc are wanted, needed, and welcome.
I would prefer Private replies, so as to not filling up the list.
Here we go
****************************************************************
It had been a long night. Tenchi had not gotten much sleep,
thanks in part to the new houseguest. He was wondering if
Kiyone would leave her room today. She also did not show up at
breakfast, and he asked Sasami to peek in her room. Sasami said
she was still sleeping, so he did not go in.
He figured she had spent part of the night trying to come to
terms with everything that had happened. He was pretty much
on the mark.
Kiyone had cried a little during the previous night. First
because she was on such a backward planet and she had no way of
contacting her parents, so she could hear their voices. She
really wanted someone familiar to hold her and tell her it was
going to be all right.
All she could think about was how her parents had taken it. She
knew that her father would have stood there, straight faced, and
taken it all in. He had always been proud of her choice.
Her mother, however, did not hold the same view. She had cried
the day that Kiyone left for the Academy. She swore that she
would never see Kiyone, constantly referred between sobs as "My
Baby", again.
Kiyone had promised that she would be careful. But then she was
introduced to her partner.
<What did I do in a past life to deserve this?>
She posed the question more times than she could count. She
could never answer it though.
She also had to face facts that she was no longer a Galaxy
Police officer. She was suddenly all alone. Detective work was
what she had always wanted to do, and now what was left?
She had tried to calm down, but she was still silently crying
when she finally fell asleep.
When she woke up she could smell something good coming from
downstairs. She got out of bed and started getting dressed in
her GP uniform. It was a remnant of her former life. It was
also the only possessions she had, except the bathing suit she
had been wearing when Washu revived her. She did not feel like
wearing that around ....... at least not yet.
Ayeka had told her about Tenchi, and that they were all staying
as guests. She had started to ask Ayeka about Ryoko, but the
mention of her name seemed to make Ayeka very upset. she
decided to wait until later.
It pained her to put the uniform on, but she really had no
choice. She would have to ask if she could borrow clothes from
someone later.
She followed the smell down the hall, and toward the stairs.
As she began walking down, Tenchi came out of the living room.
Stopping at the bottom of the stairs he turned to see how was
coming down, and was surprised at who it was. He gave Kiyone a
good afternoon.
She stopped. She tensed up. Every muscle from her feet to her
neck locked up. She also tried to stop drooling. He was cute.
She couldn't figure out why she felt this way about him, but she
did. What is going on? I can't have feelings for him, he is
just a young man, still in school. He is way to young.
Tenchi turned as he heard someone coming down the steps, and was
surprised to see Kiyone. He smiled and tried to greet her, but
he stopped when he noticed she was still traveling forward, but
she had stopped moving. He also noticed that she was blushing.
Tenchi had to quickly dive forward to catch her. Her left hand
kept a death grip on the railing and so she did a half spin
before landing in Tenchi's arms.
Kiyone realized that she was in his arms, and she blushed even
bigger.
She turned several shades of red, and seemed to move at an
impossibly insane speed in righting herself. She apologized to
Tenchi about what happened.
Kiyone then tried to move down the stairs again, to find her
left hand firmly grasping the railing. Try as hard as she could,
it would not let go. She pulled and tugged on it. She even
attempted to use her right foot as extra leverage.
Tenchi attempted to assist her in her difficulty. But neither
noticed Washu had walked to the bottom of the stairs. Washu
looked up at the grunting mass, and a smirk came to her face.
Her holo computer appeared in front of her, and she pressed a
button.
Kiyone felt her arm go limp. All of a sudden she was applying a
great deal of force to nothingness. Then she felt the impact.
As Sasami ran into the hallway after hearing outcries and a loud
thump, she found Kiyone lying, spread eagle on her back on top
of Tenchi, who was in turn on top of Washu.
"I deserved that." Was the genius' comment.
****************************************************************
"MY WHAT?!" screamed Kiyone, confused at the news.
"I had to replace parts of your arm. I was going to tell you."
replied Washu, who was looking at the arm of the chair Kiyone
was crushing. She mad a mental note to turn down the strength
on the grip. [Probably while sleeping.]
Everyone who was sitting in the living room began sweatdropping.
"So, you gave me a robotic arm? Can you explain this?"
Kiyone was sitting there, flexing the fingers open and shut. She
was also rather angry.
Washu suddenly wished that she had not installed a weapon in to
the arm either. Hopefully Kiyone would not figure it our for
awhile. Long enough for either a replacement or some control
training.
Washu explained to Kiyone everything that happened, leaving out
the weapon, and certain rather graphic details. She also told
her about how she had informed Galaxy police.
"So, Mihoshi knows." said Kiyone.
"Unless she's capable of simply reading a document without
understanding what she was reading, then I'd say yes."
"By the way Washu, where is Mihoshi?" Asked Sasami.
****************************************************************
Out in space ......
Detective Minaka and Korosu were sitting in the pilot chairs of
the Yugami. They were both sitting there straight forward. They
were not talking to each other, and were not moving. The Yugami
was on autopilot so control was not needed.
Korosu was the first to speak.
"Where are we headed again?"
"colonized planet 315, named Earth." rattled Minaka.
"How long until we get there?"
"About 9 hours."
"Doesn't this whole thing just creep you out?"
"Yes, that is why I'm trying not to think about it."
[Long silence]
"It will be good to see Kiyone again."
[More long minutes of silence]
Beeping sounds coming from the console interrupted the less than
intriguing conversation.
"What is it?"
"There seems to be a frantic distress call from a ship. We
cannot establish communications with it. We are going in for a
closer look. Arm the weapons array just in case."
"Aye, weapons online."
"Wait .... The identity Beacon on the ship just registered. It's
the Yokinojo, Mihoshi's ship!!"
"The ship has suffered severe damages. The debris field around
the ship indicated that it may have impacted an asteroid. It
also looks like the entire engine and thruster systems exploded.
The ship is completely crippled. I am amazed that the entire
ship didn't explode completely from the combined shocks."
"Any life signs?"
"Only one, very faint."
"We need to get her off it."
"On my way."
As Korosu got into the proper space gear to retrieve Mihoshi,
Minaka make a connect to the Yokinojo's computer to download the
log, so they could figure out what happened.
****************************************************************
Back at the shrine.....
Tenchi held out his hand to Kiyone, to help her off the couch.
"Would you like to see the shrine?" he asked
She held out her left hand, which had the chair remnants in it.
Kiyone quickly switched hands then took Tenchi's. She blushed
bright red from the situation.
As the two of them left the house, Ayeka and Ryoko began fuming
over the new guest. Another face, another rival.
Tenchi decided that the first thing to see would be the Shrine.
He began to walk up the steps, and Kiyone followed behind him.
As Tenchi focused on the steps, Kiyone turned her attention to
the back of Tenchi's jeans. She began to blush again. What was
the feeling she was getting? It was getting stronger. Was
she really having emotions for a teenager.
She tried to think about something else. But the urges kept
getting worse and worse. She found herself wanting Tenchi more
with each step.
When Tenchi reached the shrine yard, he was suddenly attacked
from behind. A set of long arms and long legs wrapped
themselves around his Torso. He could hear girlish giggling
coming from his assailant. He knew it could not be Ryoko, and
Ayeka did not try things like this to get his attention.
[GREAAAAT!! I got someone else falling over me, literally!]
As Tenchi worked to peel himself from the Kiyone glomp, he
wondered why, only minutes before, had she not openly made an
attempt or a pass at him while in view of everyone else.
He managed to free everything but his left leg, which Kiyone was
now firmly latched onto. He continued to pry her off when
suddenly she blushed very deeply, and there was a shock wave as
she moved with impossible speed to a standing position, with
her back to Tenchi. She was holding her face, and her eyes were
wide.
The shock wave and the loss of weight on his leg, caused him to
fall backward, face first, and land in the familiar takahashi
pose. When he sat up he noticed that that Kiyone was gone, and
a dust cloud leading down the shrine steps.
Tenchi stood up and sweatdroped as his eyes looked down the
steps. He briefly wondered what was going on. He decided to
keep quiet about it. He did not wish to embarrass her further.
He heard her crying the previous night, and Tenchi had a pretty
good idea why.
Ryoko and Ayeka turned toward the sound of the door rapidly
opening and closing.
There was Kiyone. Her face bright red, and she was breathing
rather hard. She was slumped up against the door.
Ayeka was the first to lay forth a question to the ragged girl.
"What happened?"
"ummm... Nothing!"
"Where is lord Tenchi?"
"I left him up at the Shrine, I had to use the bathroom."
Kiyone realized she was staring at the princess a bit long. she
was feeling very weird, and she was having trouble controlling
herself. she figured to run back to her room and calm down.
<Kiyone is obviously hiding something>, though Ryoko. She
couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she disappeared from the
rafter. and rematerialized right in front to Kiyone.
Kiyone was just turning back in front of her, and so collided
with the space pirate. Unfortunately, Ryoko had positioned
herself about a head taller than Kiyone, giving her an air of
power. What it did instead is cause Kiyone to plant her face
directly into Ryoko's Cleavage.
Ryoko next found that she was the recipient of a full body bear
hug. she too was trapped due to a pair of arms, and a legs
wrapped around her.
Ryoko eeped, and disappeared to the other side of the room. She
readied her energy sword to fend off another attack.
Ayeka was about to make a smart ass comment, when she
interrupted by a kiss on the cheek from Kiyone.
Washu came running out of the closet lab wielding a strange
pistol type device.
She came up behind Kiyone while Ayeka was defending herself,
placed the business end against Kiyone's arm, and pulled the
trigger. A quick hissing sound, followed by the green haired
girl falling into Washu's arms.
Washu instructed Ryoko and Ayeka to take the girl into the lab.
She was hooked up to another set of machines that materialized
around a bed.
Tenchi came in to ask Washu was going on, and if Kiyone was
alright.
"Well Tenchi, this is what I was afraid of."
"what's wrong Washu-chan?"
"Yeah, I wanna know why she glomped me."
"Everyone settle down." Interrupted Washu
"I will explain. I was hoping there was not going to be side
effects from Kiyone's ordeal, but there is. Tenchi, I will
wager that she came on to you in a rather openly romantic way
up at the shrine a few minutes ago, is that correct?"
"I guess so, yes. why do you ask?"
"Because she just did the same thing to Ryoko and Ayeka, moments
ago.
The process I put her through to revive her has unfortunately
caused certain glands in her body to produce larger amounts of
hormones. These hormones are currently building up in her
system until she cannot control them. Her Adrenaline gland is
putting out a steady stream giving her muscles a boost. this
explains her strength when she glomped you two."
Ayeka grinned at Ryoko, while she and Tenchi both blushed, and
bigsweated.
"Ahem, as I was saying, some of these glands are causing her
to have extreme emotions. One is causing her extreme case of
excited sexual arousal. She seems to not be concerned with
gender, so I suspect that she may have had a relationship with
members of both sexes at some time in her life. As is the case,
none of us are immune to this behavior."
"Well then, Washu." retorted the annoyed Ryoko. "What are you
going to do about this?"
"I have developed a chemical blocker, which you saw mw inject
her with upstairs. I will give her some pills that she will
have to remember to take at each meal until her normal functions
return. My calculations predict no more than two weeks."
I will talk to her, and explain this when she wakes up. I
think it may be better if you three will be gone. I have some
rather personal questions to ask her."
****************************************************************
Back upstairs, both Ayeka and Ryoko were thinking about the
whole event, and Washu's conclusion.
"So Kiyone is, or was in love with another woman."
"hey princess, are you thinking what I am thinking?"
A brief moment of silence, followed by both of them turning
toward each other and they spoke one word in unison.
"Mihoshi!!"
****************************************************************
Later.........
Darkness, all around. then a shimmer of light. She ran to it,
hoping that the darkness would surrender to the light. The
light seemed to be coming from a door, slightly open and she
walked through. It opened to the living room, and she turned
around and the door was gone. She turned back to the room.
It seemed no different from any other day. The same living room
with the same table and the same furniture. But something was
wrong. she just couldn't place it.
A noise behind caused her attention to avert, but she was
grabbed from behind, by someone.
A pair of long slender arms wrapped around her, in a lovers
embrace. So warm so soft. She felt more out of place. He was
holding her, and he was strong, and was not letting go of...
wait a minute.....
She realized that she was being held by another woman. It was
obvious thanks to the pair of naked, warm, breasts pressed
against her back.
She tried to scream, but found she was unable to, like her voice
was gone. it felt like her body was taken over by someone else.
She seemed to have no control of the events taking place. She
felt her body try to move but the other woman held her in place.
Keeping her from covering her ... own .... Breasts?!?
she discovered that she too was naked. she felt like she was
going to faint, but something kept her awake. The other woman
was gently kissing her neck and cooing, like it was natural for
the two of them to be together. She found it to be pleasant,
but at the same time her mind was screaming [You don't like
girls, you can't be with a girl, you have to get away.]
As hard as she tried to move, she was not in control at all. No
amount of force she felt she could muster could break the hold.
But at the same she felt her own arms moving to loosen the grip
of the other girl. She was now turning to face this person.
<Just as well> she thought. Who was this, trying to trick her?
This was too much. She couldn't take the idea of being a
lesbian. She loved HIM. HE was the one she wished to marry,
and have children, not some sorted affair with another woman.
And yet she began to enjoy the attention being given to her.
As her body turned to face her, to see her attacker/lover, it
felt as if all the blood drained from her face.
Standing in front of her was her rival. One of many suitors
that kept her from her true love.
Her rival looked upon her with the look of concern. She was not
trying to kill her like before, or embarrass her like before,
but showed real concern to her.
This was not possible. They were rivals, not lovers. But in
the face of the girl standing there was nothing but friendship,
companionship, and Love.
"What's wrong?"
She sensed her lips moving and she heard herself say, "I feel a
bit strange."
Her rival held out her hand, and she grasped it with her own.
"Don't be frightened, we have done this before. I love you. I
always love you. Please let me show you. I want only to make
you happy."
As her mind began ripping through all the information collected
she struggled to find a reason for all this.
Then she was pulled into the embrace again, this time looking
directly at her. She continued to struggle, but her limbs did
whatever they wanted, and right now they were pulling each other
together, tightly.
All she could do is accept the input that she was getting from
own body. she could not understand how she could be aroused and
yet remain helpless. Someone had to be control of her.
Then came the kiss. Soft, warm, sensual, and she couldn't help
returning it.
<What is going on? This is not me! Let me go!> as she fought
the sensations in her body. there was going to be hell to pay
once she figured out what happened.
In her mind she screamed out her lovers name.....

Nerima Japan
Akane woke up screaming.... Shampoo!!!!!
She immediately realized where she was. She was safe in her own
room, in her bed, and her pajamas were on. Her bed sheets were
tossed all over the room. Shampoo was nowhere near.
She turned to hear her door get ripped off it's hinges by Ranma
first, and then her father. Both were in battle stance, ready
to repel whatever attacker had shown it's ugly head. Since
Ranma heard Akane yell Shampoo, he though that the Amazon was
attempting to carry out the kiss of death she placed on Akane
long ago.
"Where did she go Akane?" Yelled Ranma while he cased the room
quickly.
"I'm sorry Ranma, it was a nightmare." was Akane's reply.
"Well, I can't believe a macho tomboy like you could have a
nightmare, you're too stubborn for that."
Her anger replaced fear, thanks to Ranma, and she emitted the
infamous battle cry.
Ranma!!!!!
The mallet made it's appearance and Ranma found himself, err...
herself climbing out of the Koi pond.
Ranma mumbled something about uncute as she went back to bed.
She would be stuck as a girl till morning again, since the water
heater seemed to be on the fritz more often than Ryoga's
direction sense.
As Ranma laid down on the futon she casually wondered why Akane
would be screaming Shampoo during a nightmare. She hoped that
Akane would be ok. She really did care about her. She just
had no idea how to tell her. She sighed and closed her eyes, and
seconds later was asleep.
Akane on the other hand was still awake. In her mind she kept
replaying the dream. It brought shivers to her spine to think
that she almost enjoyed the kiss by Shampoo. And that Shampoo
professed love to her, and offered to show her how in love she
was, and Akane felt glad that she got out of that before Shampoo
had gone any further. She also wonder how Shampoo had such a
better grasp on the language.
Her mind called her back, and asked what did all this mean.
In fact, what did any of them mean.
She thought back to the other dream she had been having the last
few nights.
Last nights' dream was just as bad. Ranma got locked in girl
form, but she had still wanted to be with Akane, no matter what.
Ranma too, had tried to show Akane what she meant to her, and
again shivers returned to Akane.
In both dreams she excepted love from a woman, and seemed to
enjoy it. But she did not seem in control of herself in either
situation.
[Am I a Lesbian?] thought Akane. No, she did not like the idea
of girls, but maybe she was in denial. Her nightmares did not
seem bad, and the control her body had at that time wanted that
love, the warmth of human embrace, and the sensual touch. Was
her own mind trying to tell her what she really wanted?
She shook her head. No, that could not be it. As much as she
liked Ranma, his girl form did not hold any attraction for her.
Or at least she thought.
Akane had thought a bit about Ranma's curse, and how it would
effect life if they were married. As much as Ranma was a water
magnet, she figured there might be periods of time where she
would be spending days, or nights even with his girl form.
<But that is different. He would be the same Ranma, just look
like a girl.>
She did feel a little uneasy about the idea of sleeping in the
same bed with a girl Ranma. If they were married, she might
want to hold Akane in her arms as they slept. It was something
couples do, but that did not make Akane feel any better.
It almost seemed that her dreams were trying to tell her, or
show her something. Problem was, she had no idea what.
What about the other dreams.
One was about losing Ranma. He died trying to protect her, and
then she was alone. That was the worst nightmare, but it seemed
so real. In fact she saw Ranma in the same situation that
caused his death in the nightmare, he was fighting Ryoga, but
he did not turn his back, and the blow that would have broken
his neck had been blocked as usual and nothing happened.
Another made Akane cry. It was the day she met him. She made
only one change in the events of that fateful day. She knocked.
She did not walk in on Ranma in the furo. She did not run
screaming through the house. Ranma explained the curse in a
better situation, and she did not overreact to it. As a result,
Ranma did not insult her repeatedly, and they seemed to get
along much better.
She wished that the dream had been real, if only she had seen
it before Ranma came, she would never have walked into the furo,
and then ran screaming around the house. She thought that she
caused all the problems that day. And that all the tension
between them was because of that one choice she made.
She inwardly sobbed, the dream was like a vision, taunting her
with the knowledge of what could have happened.
Again her mind asked [What does all this mean?]
She fell back to sleep, with tears in her eyes.

Meanwhile.....
Somewhere in the hills of Japan, at the Misaki shrine.
Ayeka woke up screaming ...... Ryoko!!
