Weee! C+C:

$Whee!  Lemon time!

Yep. Though more of a light version that any hardcore stuff, at least in
this chapter.

Differences in the Mitsukis will be done from whichever character's POV
is
being used. If it's Mitsuki Sanada, she thinks of Mitsuki Rara in terms
of
Rara. The reverse is true for Mitsuki Rara.

$Did Rara really call her Sanada?

No. Verbally they'll address each other as Mitsuki. It's just in their heads
where it makes the difference.

The sun crested the horizon, signaling the start of a brand new day in a
brave new world.

$Which really did answer some existential questions.

But Mitsuki Sanada scoffs at existentialism. ^_^

ground
was as hard as ever as she walked across it. The sky was the same azure
hue.
The air smelled at it always had, that mix of nitrogen, oxygen, smog,
and a
handful of other gases.

$Methane being one, as she had just cut one.

Heh. Someone else just made that joke as well. I didn't see it coming then
either.

 The food tasted the same, instant ramen as bland as
ever, home cooked meals leaning towards the delicious. Clothing
producing
the same sensations rayon, cotton, silk, and a host of other fabrics
always
did against her skin.

$Clothing produced...   I think.

Yeah. That was it.

 It was the same in all the ways that mattered,
existentialism be damned.

$Aww...

Toldya.

And it was all thanks to Kazuki Yotsuga, who, for one brief shining
moment,
was given the power of the Gods and could shape reality to his personal

$Gods plural?  Really?  You're sure?

She doesn't adhere to a monotheological system. :)

whim.

Gazing at the world outside, Mitsuki was thankful Kazuki lacked
imagination.

$Boo.  Hiss.  Give ME the power to remake the world, though, and I bet
I could spice things up a bit.  On the other hand, I think Kazuki did a
better job than Shinji.

Which was kind of part of the point, I think . :)

Kazuki's
doing. With all of existence sitting in the palm of his hand, that was
one
of the few things he had wished for when the opportunity presented
itself,
even if he denied it openly.

$Okay, he's not a total loss.  I mean, when remaking the world, who
wouldn't see to it that they got laid a little more in the future?

Yep. I thought so too.

the reformation she had started behaving like a normal girl instead of a
walking alien artifact, and it was nice to do away with the loneliness
being
an only child entailed. In the case of trading in one of Mitsuki's old
parents for a new one, she still had no idea what Kazuki was thinking
when
he added that little touch.

$Dunno, makes sense to me.

But Mitsuki only sees the world through her eyes, and it would never have
dawned on her to change her ancestry, even if given the opportunity.

The sight of Hartzenen outside her window turned her mind away from the
new
pages her life was now written upon. Her hand came up to her head in
response to a throbbing from her temple.

$I guess the last night was a party?

Well, sort of. Zinj revealed it was still intact and the prevailing theory
was they might try to conquor space rather than other dimensions. :)

made a certain kind of sense. Yayoi was just plain starved for any
attention
Kazuki might throw her way.

$So where is Yayoi?  Was her life rewritten too?

Nope. She was essentially left alone. She's still next door with a
connecting pathway from her window to Kazuki's.

vanished
and she ended up right alongside the other three, acting like a complete
idiot, and she still hadn't figured out why. The only good thing about
the
sordid affair was the way Kazuki had looked at her.

$You really might want to explain what had actually happened the night
before for us poor folks who are unfamiliar with Dual.  The only reason
I know what little I do know is that I looked up spoiler pages and
character bios online, and none explained the events of the night
before.

Didn't want to overdo it. I'll see, though.

A warmth spread across Mitsuki's cheeks as she remembered the way Kazuki
had
stared, irritating her to no end.

$His staring irritated her, or the blush?  Specify.

The blush. I'll specify.

 What was it with her lately? Whenever she
pictured Kazuki in her mind, she seemed to feel... strange.

$Moist.  Tingly.  Like there was a party in her panties and everyone
was invited.

Hehe. This is what I invite when I write a lemon.

 And a lot of the
strangeness depended on what he was doing at the time. Looking and
paying
attention to her was good, filling her with a peace that made her know
on
some instinctual level that all was right with the world. Not paying
attention to her was marginally less better.

$Marginally less better?  What?  That's awkward as hell.  Perhaps 'was
not so good.'

 Acting like a nervous,
indecisive twit was not so good.

$And here 'was marginally worse.'

Nod. I like the way you did it better.

Not that Mitsuki was jealous or possessive or anything. She certainly
didn't
think of Kazuki like THAT.

$Heh.

She is in your typical case of denial, here. :)

 And it was not as though she disliked Yayoi or
Rara; they were actually nice people and she got along with them fine,

$Provided they knew he was HER territory, and she would defend it.

Exactly.

met Kazuki. So what was it about someone so unassuming that set him
apart
from the rest of the male species?

$Oh, I don't know.  Maybe being the only one who could pilot the big
badass robot?  Maybe being the one who had reshaped reality as he saw
fit?  Should I go on?  I mean, sheesh, she should rememeber those little
details at the very least.  It's obvious he's special.

But she liked him before those things, so it's sort of hard for her to admit
them as well.

probably be worked with and that Kazuki was not a complete loss. Though
it
would have helped if he was better looking, or at least a little taller.
And
he was just so passive. A little aggression wouldn't hurt him. What he
needed was a few courses in assertiveness from Mitsuki Rara's other
half,
Miss Ra. Sort of another version of that, like a Mr. Ra, or something.

$If MS isn't careful, he might well end up being a Mr. Ra.

Hehehehe.

Pausing in front of the door to the bath, a giggle slipped past
Mitsuki's
lips as an image of Kazuki, dressed in one of Miss Ra's outfits, came to
her
unbidden.

$Kinda like that scene in Hackers.

It's been too long since I've seen it.

Now it was Rara's turn to blush. "Oh, Kazuki wouldn't have those sorts
of
thoughts. He's a perfect gentleman. Just look at how he treated me when
Mother tried to set us up together." There was a slight wistfulness in
her
voice. "I was completely naked and he didn't take advantage of me in the
slightest."

$*sigh*  Typical anime male syndrome.

It was a good thing he hadn't or he wouldn't have left the bedroom alive. It
was wired to television moniters and Mitsuki S. and Yayoi stumbled in to see
them.

Now safely ensconced from the possibility of Kazuki finding them,
Mitsuki
began running water into buckets for both herself and her cousin...
sister... doppelganger, or whatever the correct term was for their
relationship.

$herself and herself?

Sort of.

Rara
was now forced to live with Mitsuki and her family for an indefinite
amount
of time. At least the older Raras were staying at a hotel, rather than
making the house even more overcrowded than it already was.

$So what was the deal with their different fathers?

In one universe Ayuko married Ken Sanada, in the other she married Hiroshi
Rara.

The question interrupted Mitsuki's examination. It was just as well,
since
she was becoming tired of comparing herself to Rara and losing every
time.
"What? Why?"

$Rara: Not so it would lead to hot yuri action, oh no.  That thought
never crossed my mind.

Rara: Nope. Never would, even if your butt is just as cute as Kazuki's.

ever
spent a day in the sun, which suited Mitsuki just fine. Perhaps she
would
purchase a jar of 50 SPF sunblock for Rara's birthday to ensure she
remained
that way.

$Umm, wouldn't that be her birthday, too?

But it's for Rara that the gift will be for.

Much closer than ever before, Mitsuki continued studying Rara. Despite
the
pale cast to it, her skin's texture was perfect. There wasn't a single
blemish to be found. No tiny scars indicating a rough childhood, no
little
nicks left by chicken pox, nothing.

$Isn't that just about impossible?  How could someone that active not
have any scars?

Charmed life.

Rara's body seemed to turn slightly red, and not from the steady
scrubbing.

$Heh.  Body blush.

Yep.

"I'm envious," Mitsuki admitted. That was certainly more exercise than
she
ever did.

$Yeah, me too.

She's not naughty. She's just drawn that way. :)

Turning her head so she could look Mitsuki in the eye, Rara said, "If
you
want, you can stay after school with me and we can work out together."

$Naked, on the bench press.  Pump it!  Pump it!  Work it, baby, work
it!  No pain, no gain!

I've seen nude square dancing. Why not nude workouts as well. :)

her
hands brought the washcloth to the back, caressing as much as cleaning.
Now
that Mitsuki reconsidered things, it was silly to be jealous. Why
shouldn't
her cousin-sister be allowed to have a sexy body?

$Especially since, in many ways, that cousin-sister is actually her.

True, but there are enough differences she doesn't really think of her as
anything other than a twin at worse.

 It wasn't like Mitsuki
ever considered herself the most gorgeous woman around, just in the
upper
ten percent. There were plenty of other attractive girls in school, but
she
certainly never felt envious of them.

$None of them were ever after Kazuki.

True.

 No longer satisfied with merely
using a cloth as a medium, Mitsuki lathered one of her hands with water
and
soap and proceeded to use it to clean as well.

$Heh.  She'll be using her breasts in a bit.

Oops. Telegraphed, did I? :)

 I've got to admit,

though, I wasn't expecting a Rara/Mitsuki pairing.  I actually expected
Mitsuki and Kazuki.

I said Donny Cheng was the inspiration for this. You should have seen it
coming. :)

contact with flesh. Soap and lather failed to dull the effect as Mitsuki
went from cleaning to tracing the curve of Rara's spine, stopping only
when
she reached the top of the divide separating the buttocks. Even then she
had
to resist the urge to continue ever downward. But the stool would
prevent
her from going far, and there was the rest of the body to consider.

$Hmm.  Technically speaking...  Wouldn't this be masturbation?

Hard to say. Not really a situation that crops up enough to merit it's own
word. :)

the
top of the hips to under her arms, Mitsuki was thorough in the task
before
her, leaving no section of flesh untouched.

$Rara: Don't mind me, I'm in my passive state.  I won't protest.

As opposed to her Miss Ra state, yes. :)

the sensation of brushing against one another, as well as being able to
get
a better hold of her front. There was an added warmth to Rara's back as
Mitsuki felt her own sensitive nipples harden from the contact. Again
she
felt a surge of admiration from the firmness of those fleshy orbs that
she
was handling without trepidation.

$Mitsuki: Gee, this is my first lesbian experience, but I don't feel
awkward.  I guess it was meant to be.  Banzai!

Heh.

Refusing to release the hold on the front, Mitsuki leaned her head
forward
and caressed the back of her cousin's neck with a soft breath. The tiny
hairs along the back of the neck moved

$They're not wet yet?  I thought she would have gotten completely wet
by now.

Hadn't considered that. Will rethink that.

next
to Rara's ear and blowing softly into it, while still maintaining a hold
of
her breasts. Another moan, louder than the others, filled the bath.

$Rara: Mitsuki, ahhh, you're pinching too hard.

Heh.

Mitsuki smiled at her handiwork. No wonder Kazuki would stare with his
mouth
open and all but drool whenever he accidentally managed to catch sight
of
Rara's body in any way.

$Kazuki: Heyyy, I bet Mitsuki looks like that when she's naked, too!

Now that would be classic.

refusing to jump Rara's bones when he had the opportunity yesterday. If
Mitsuki had been in his place, awakening next to the nude form that was
pressed close to her now, she probably would have-

$said something along the lines of, "Oooh!  How sweet, you brought me
breakfast in bed!"

Heh

both when she started and when she finished. "Nothing! Nothing at all!"
she
quickly blurted out.

$Nah.  In situations like that, you should say, "Oh, this is so totally
what it looks like.  Right, <insert name here>?"  The other person will
of course deny it, and no one would believe you anyway.

Hehehe. I thinik it would work, horribly enough.

"That's not what it looked like to me." D raised an eyebrow as her gaze
darted between the two.

$Mitsuki: So, D, what DID it look like to you?

D: Same thing Yayoi and I were doing yesterday.

Rara looked away from the tiles and to D. "Actually, Mitsuki was being
kind
enough to examine my breasts for lumps. You see, after a girl hits
puberty,
it's often a good idea to check for signs of breast cancer in the form
of
tiny lumps that form under the skin. It's rare in girls our age, but not
unheard of."

$*snort*  That's creative, I'll give you that.

Thank you.

Mitsuki smiled wide and mentally congratulated her cousin.

$Mitsuki: Hey, she's almost as smart as I am!

^_^

 "Yep. That's what
we were doing. Checking for signs of breast cancer. I wasn't feeling her
up
at all."

$Heheheh.  Just had to throw that last line in there, didn't you?

Yep. Too good in opportunity to pass up, to be sure.

"Okay. I understand," D said, then removed her robe. "Would you check my
breasts like that, too?"

"NO!" Both Mitsuki's shouted as one.

$Okay, okay, so it's not _quite_ a typical yuri lemon.  ^_-

Nope. I'm not quite your typical writer. :)

Kazuki was the first to venture forth. "Did you and Mitsuki have a
fight?"
He directed the question to the Mitsuki closest to him, Sanada, as he
helped
himself to another fried eggroll.

$I like having those for breakfast, too.  Rara cooked that morning, eh?

At least some of the meal.

"No," Mitsuki said authoritatively while Rara demurely shook her head.

Kazuki persisted. "Then what's wrong?"

$"Did you two have kinky lesbian sex in the bathroom again?" he asked
jokingly.

Heh.

Again Mitsuki acted as spokesperson. "Nothing's wrong. You're just being
paranoid." She took a sip of her miso soup.

"Geez, why are you being so touchy today?"

Mitsuki nearly choked on her soup. "I didn't touch anything today!"

$Hah!  You're an evil man, DB.

I pride myself on it.

D said, "Actually Mitsuki was touching the other Mitsuki's breasts while
they were in the bathroom."

$"Glarg!" D said a moment later as she tried to pry both Mitsuki's
hands from around her neck.

Hehehehe. I really liked that one.

This time Mitsuki did choke on the soup. By the time she forced most of
it
out of her windpipe, she saw Kazuki staring off into the space between
the
two Mitsukis, his mouth slightly agape and a tiny trickle of drool
fleeing
while the opportunity presented itself.

$Drool with a sense of self preservation.

hentai thoughts overrode it, I'm afraid.

  My question is, why not a

nosebleed?

I didn't want to get blood on Rara's skirt.

That whatever he was imagining was probably exactly what had happened
did
nothing to assuage Mitsuki's anger.

$Cute.

Thanks.

 She lashed out with an uppercut,
shutting Kazuki's mouth and sending the drool to land on Rara's skirt.

$Rara: Eww.

Rara: But blood would have been worse.

Holding his head in pain and ducking low in a futile defense of avoiding
a
second swat, Kazuki protested, "But I wasn't being perverted!"

$Liar liar pants-too-tight.

^_^

Using his role as man of the house, Dr. Sanada chose this moment to
enter
the conversation. "I'm inclined to agree with the Kazuki. I don't think
he
was being perverted at all. I think it's perfectly normal for a boy that
age, after hearing the way D phrased her statement, to jump to such
conclusions. Furthermore-"

$Hey!  I agree with him!  Finally, someone that's making some sense!

He is. It's not going to save him, though.

Kazuki, obviously eager to join in her flight, rose out of his
cross-legged
sitting position and said, "Wait, and I'll go with you."

$What about Rara?  Is she in a different class?

She's just behind the two.

The beautiful Spring day, one that was helping to usher in an early
Summer

$Why do you keep capitalizing spring?

Probably saw it capitilzied somewhere. Will change back.

her. Instead of behaving normally, she had acted just like some
hormonally
crazed guy who couldn't keep his dick in his pants, though in her case
it
was more like smothering Rara with her chest than with any anatomical
features between her legs.

$That would come later.

^_^

ripeness
of her melons' as some of the more crude male members of her class
tended to
refer to it. Mostly the guys that had never even engaged in the action.

$Heh.

It's true. The biggest talkers tend to have done the least. :)

However, Mitsuki certainly didn't fit into the category anymore.

$Heh, again.  She did boldly go where no woman has gone before.

Rara: And I hope she does it again. It's good training for me when Kazuki
starts molesting me the same way.

mouth
shut on the matter, lest by the end of the day she had butch women
hitting
on her and Kazuki seeking attention from Yayoi.

$Or Rara.

Nah. Mitsuki's assuming Rara will be with her.

none
that she was aware of. And she had never entertained any romantic
thoughts
concerning Rara; of that she was certain. The girl had been in many
categories in Mitsuki's mind. From enemy to defector to rival (though
not
for Kazuki's attentions, she assured herself. Mostly), to friend to
family.

$I'm not sure how you'd handle the sentances in the parentheses.  I
think Mostly should have a period after it.

Kay

None of those roles had included 'romantic rugmunching interest.'

$Ahhh, the terms you come up with.

What, you mean everyone doesn't use that one? :)

 Aside from
being the wrong gender, Rara was like a long lost twin sister, which
would
make it incestuous before anything else. It was perverted.

$It's masturbation I tells ya!

Could be a form of it, I guess.

forced to wear that scanty Miss Ra outfit that rode high up into her
crotch). Continuing upward, they lead to narrow hips, soft curves
eventually
winding their way and blending into firm breasts with dainty reddish
nipples. Above those was located a set of lips that were made all the
more
desirable by the way the red contrasted with alabaster skin-

$Yep, she's gone.  On the other hand, this is quite healthy.  Show's
she has a high self esteem and thinks well of herself.  I mean, it
always speaks well for your self image when you are attracted to
yourself.

Or you're just being incrdibly narcassitic. :)

Mitsuki laughed nervously. "None of you little rascals know who I am,
right?"

$Heh.  Quick and straight to the point.

Yep. Best to know what damage she's suffered quickly.

on her open book. Pen in hand, she began drawing pictures in her

notebook,
crude little drawings that would have been more appropriate on an
ancient
cave wall instead of modern day paper.

$Let me guess, all of them involve little chibi versions of her and
Rara doing the horizontal lambada?

Nope. Just doodles.

The teacher pointed to a couple of empty wooden buckets sitting towards
the
back of the room. "Enjoy."

$She could start her exercises early.  Curling heavy buckets of water
would be good for the biceps.

Heh.

Mitsuki found herself actually relieved to be outside of class. It gave
her
time to think, though she wasn't looking forward to the lecture she'd
get
from her mother about paying attention in class.

$How would her mother find out?

If it's reported that she's not paying attention in class.

of glass in the doorway of the classroom, Mitsuki could see the
professor
was fully involved in teaching the class something about the Edo era.
Deciding it was worth the risk of ending up in more trouble, Mitsuki
walked
over with the buckets and looked through the window leading outside.

$What's to stop her from setting them down and pretending to hold them?

Nothing. She just doesn't think about doing that.

would
send any girl a love letter was about as likely as Ayuka reconciling
with
Mitsuki's father, except that Ayuka had never been her mother, which
meant
she had never abandoned her father. Instead Ayuka was her aunt, while
someone that had never been related to Mitsuki at all was her mother.

$But she's nicer.

True.

"This is all your fault, Kazuki," Mitsuki grumbled. Though now that she
thought about it, Akane was definitely a trade up in the parent
department.

Mitsuki went back to admiring Kazuki when an all too familiar figure
raced
up to his side and began congratulating him in a typically shy manner.

$So how'd Rara get out there?  Shouldn't she be in class?

Oops. Hadn't thought of that. Original plan was for Mitsuki to see them
chatting in the hall. Will come up with something.

erupting from Mitsuki's forehead, and the sound of teeth gnashing
against
one another filled the hall. Once again Rara was making an annoyance of
herself, butting her nose in where it didn't belong.

$As opposed to Mitsuki's crotch, where it very definitely belonged.

And you accuse me of being evil.

been for Kazuki's interference. And unlike so many others around her,
Mitsuki Sanada learned from her past mistakes. This time she would
refine
the plan so that Kazuki was not a factor.

$Heh.  I'm willing to bet that the plan either involves, or will lead
to, hot lesbian sex.  I'll be disappointed if it doesn't.

I'm shocked you would accuse me of that. I'm not that sort of pervert. ^_^

Author's Notes: Yes, I know what you're saying to yourselves, 'What the
hell
is this?! DB never writes anything under 50K that isn't a spamfic.
Especially when it comes to chapters of a story.'

$Yeah, this was kinda short.  I'm surprised it took you so long to
write, assuming you started soon after you posted the prolog to that new
Ranma fic.

Was busy. Real life is like that. Haven't had much chance to continue
either. Only one more scene written out.

way, though only time will tell if I'm right. Not sure I'm completely
satisfied with this, but it's the best that's coming to me at the
moment.
Tomorrow I might say to myself "Why didn't I put that in?" but for now,
this
is what came to me.

$Looks pretty good, if short.  It's hard to really get into it yet,
because I'm so unfamiliar with the characters.

Yeah. That would make it hard. Only one more part to go, though.

the
second part won't be long in coming.

$Hope not.  Looks pretty fun so far.  Can't say much other than that.
Few mistakes, good dialoge.

Thanks. Glad you liked it. Hope to have the next half done by the end of
next week, but we'll see.
