A Ranma 1/2 fanfic
by Ginrai

Ah, as good as a 'Prepare for mental trauma' sign there. :)

Upstairs in the room of the youngest daughter, though, was a completely
different story.

Three girls... Correction, three very annoyed girls were

girl, were (I think)

 locked inside,

their legs having been chained to prevent movement as well as their
wrists being chained

Two 'chained's close together. 'bound' will work for the second.

 behind their backs, which were then connected in

such a way so that their backs were facing each other in a triangular
formation.

Aww. And that's such a nice set up for a lemon too. :(

Note to self: Take at least an hour break from reviewing any fics following
C+Cing one he wrote. Too much carry over. ^_^

If another were inside, they would have accused the girls of being
perverted in some nature.

And they would have been right, though that is not what we are focusing on
at the moment.

"Well, Shampoo," Ukyou said in a monotonous tone, "that's some mess
your potion has gotten us into."

'this is another fine mess' would sound better to me.

"Just _how_ were you able to create such a potion?" Akane asked,
annoyed at being locked in her own room.

Hmm. Not the third most people would have suspected, I'd wager.

  She was curious as to where

Shampoo got such a concoction and why the Amazon never used it before.

"Shampoo get formula from Amazon Book of Contrived Potions.

Hehehehe. I've always wanted to see someone say that. Only too appropriate.
Just sorry I didn't come up with it first.

Great-

Grandmother hide book and only recently able to find it," the lavender-
haired girl replied in as a graceful manner as possible without
screaming out the

out at the

If Ukyou had access to her spatula, she would have grabbed it and
flattened the Amazon.  As it was, she couldn't even see her rival so
instead had to visualize the girl being in front of her, which caused
the chef to scowl right away.  "And just _why_ did you even consider
using One Minute Eternal Love?" she growled, her attempt at hiding her
anger having not been successful.  "Why not use something safer like...
Passion Spice?"

Shampoo: No be silly. That trick never work.

"Ukyou's right," Akane added, "At least it certainly wouldn't have
resulted in this debacle."

drop 'certainly' makes things too bulky.

Hearing what the others had to say, Shampoo laughed out loud, amused at
their 'simpler' plan.  "Spatula Girl stupider than Shampoo thought if
she think _that_ would work.  And Pervert Girl probably want Shampoo to
use Passion Spice."

Akane: Throw in a kunoichi and it's a deal.

Sometimes even I'm astounded at the lengths of self-plugging I'll stoop to.

This statement caused Akane's anger to flare up as she tried to turn
around and tell Shampoo what she thought of that.  Which resulted

That resulted (sounds better to me)

 in

the short-haired girl pulling on the chains around her wrist,
tightening the chains around the wrists of the other two girls, which
then began to pinch, eliciting cries of pain and annoyance.

Someone got their merit badge in knots, I see.

"Akane!" Ukyou screamed in pain, "Damn it, you knew what pulling on the
chains would do!"  And in retaliation, the brown-haired chef pulled on
her own chains, instantly causing the other two to grimace in pain.

I can see where this is going.

"Shampoo no like getting hurt twice!" the Amazon shouted, gritting her
teeth as she pulled.  Hard.

Ah yes, the downward spiral of self-inflicted pain. :)

Instantly Ukyou's smug look changed into that of one in

'into one of ' (will be just fine.

"As Shampoo was saying, it would have worked if Spatula Girl didn't hit
Ranma into Shampoo's chest.  Shampoo no mind having Airen in there but

there, but (I think)

Akane could only shudder as she remembered what they saw after their
fight was stopped.  Well, it had to stop after hearing _those_ noises
as they could only watch with mouth and eyes agape.

Not sure I want to know now.

Worse for her, she had to experience this _every_ day afterwards.
Those loud squeals, which were a result of Ranma's different 'styles.'
And furthermore, the fact that it almost always took place right above
her room!

On the roof? Maybe it should be 'below her room' since the Saotomes sleep
there, I would imagine.

This went on until finally the raven-haired Tendou daughter couldn't
take it anymore and tried to put an end to this 'forbidden love.'

But Mousse would have none of it, and tied Akane up before she could
interfere.

Unfortunately, this went about as well as Shampoo's plan and as a
result, ended with all three girls locked in her room until the events
downstairs conclude.

concluded.

Right away both girls felt a dark aura emitting from Akane.  Ukyou
wondered if it was such a great idea to have asked her that question.

"They found a loophole in the agreement to unite the schools," Akane
muttered.  "That is all I'm going to say."

Probably for the best.

Seeing that no one else was talking, Ukyou decided to say something to
get their attention.  "We can't just sit around here and let what's
going on downstairs to continue,

drop 'to'

The plan itself was so simple that the girls wondered why they didn't
think of it before.

"Okay, now hop forward."

"No, Akane, wrong way!"

"Shampoo, the other way!"

They soon found out why.

So I see. :)

But it was far too late

Indeed.

as the joint efforts of Akane going one way,

Shampoo another and Ukyou one completely different from the other two
caused them all fall

all to fall

 down, Akane face-first while the other two fell on

their sides, right on top of the short-haired girl.

They found out rather fast that it's quite hard to do anything when in
said position.

At least, anything that wouldn't get 'lemon' in the subject line

Nodoka started to wipe the tears from hears.

'her eyes' (At least I hope that was what that was supposed to be)

  Such a beautiful moment.

And what a nice-looking girl, too.  Certainly better than how it was
before, though she still had to do something about that tongue sticking
out now and then.

Uh oh. Got a bad feeling about this.

It was nice that her son finally made a choice.  Now

she could start thinking of all those grandchildren her son would
beget.  Such a nice thought, indeed.

Veritible 'litters' of them, I'd wager.

Soun and Genma were already making plans for the future of their
schools of martial arts.  Finally the schools were united and all
thanks to an act of kindness by Kasumi when she was a child.  Who knew
that saving animals could reap such fortune later on in life?  Good
fortune was certainly on their side.

Not sure if I'd call it good fortune, but oh well. :)

And to the side of Ranma was his lucky bride.  It was certainly
different seeing all these people from this perspective.  Ever since
that kind old lady splashed her with that strange water.  And with the
amount of food she now got.

RUn on there.

 Instinctively eyeing the table with the

cake, her tongue automatically stuck out as she began to pant a bit.
Then remembering what her master said, she stopped and brought back her
tongue inside.  Even though he did act weird every now and then,
something about 'doggy style,' which she might one day understand, it
was all worth it to get the food.  Life for Bess Saotome was definitely
looking up.

I see Gary has been rubbing off on you. :)

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

This is the result of being too bored

And being a real sicko.

It flowed well, though there were quite a few typos and grammar errors. A
cute fic, though.
