Dr. Tofu sat nearby Soun and Genma, pretending to be interested in the game
while trying to avoid looking directly at his fianc�e. Shampoo
herself had changed into one of the many Chinese dresses she had left at the
Tendo home in case of emergency, and was lounging calmly just
behind the doctor, {eyeing : eying} him thoughtfully from time to time.
Nodoka stared her son down, her steely gaze completely out of place on the
face of a 9 or 10 year old girl wearing a flower print blue and white summer
dress. "{Now son : Now, Son}, it's your duty to your family to produce an heir... to both
families in fact. As Ranko cannot carry on the family name in that regard,
it is only right that you take that responsibility to provide the Kounji
family with an heir as well."
Ranko hesitated. "Actually, I'm not sure... it worked before though, turned
me and {pop : Pop} both into guys in cold water... at least for a couple
hours."
Akane's eyes fell, then she stepped forward to hug Nabiki as quickly as
Nabiki had hugged Venus. "I love you{: ,} Sis." She said quietly but firmly.
"You don't ever have to be alone."
Nabiki sighed. "That's going to be tough to sell... I don't know how {daddy : Daddy}
will react if he finds out your folks don't know... and Nodoka's
another problem. She's a bit touchy about these kind of secrets nowadays."
Sailor Venus stepped forward with a wink. "I'm Minako Aino!" She abruptly
detransformed, seeming pleased at all the attention that got. "I'm also
Akane Tendo the second... some of the time." She added, waving to Soun. "Hi
{pop : Pop}!" Nabiki sighed and looked at the ceiling in frustration while Akane and
Kasumi gaped at her in shock.
Akane Tendo stood in Minako's place blinking, then waved nervously. "Er...
{hi dad : hi, Dad}." There was an audible thud as Soun keeled over and she
winced. "Darn it Mina...." Akane huffed angrily to herself. "You could have
handled that a lot better!"
Conan shrugged. "Very interesting fiction... if it is fiction. What would
Holmes say in this situation?"
As I said before, eliminating the impossible may not help in this
situation.
Ai spoke up from behind them. "{Ocam's : Occam's} razor would make me believe that they
are telling the truth. Such a coherent mass hallucination is
unlikely.... As much as the scientist in me wants there to be a more
rational explanation for these phenomena, I must believe that the Sailor
Senshi do exist. The hypothesis that you have discovered the identity of
several of these people must be taken into consideration.
Conan glanced at her. "I think it deserves investigation. If what we've
heard is correct, it should be simple enough to verify... I think a visit to
the Tendo {dojo : Dojo} with water guns tomorrow is in order."
That should be fun.
Shampoo spoke up. "If we cannot find our enemy, then we must shore up our
defenses and wait until there is a chance to strike. Great{: -}
Grandmother should get the message I sent in less than a day, and {this : then} she
will see if Sailor Mercury can be found in Beijing."
Conan snapped. "Who could I tell? If I tell the {girls : girl's} mother, would she
even believe me?"
Artemis took one last look at the closing circle of male cats around them
and shook his head. "No... not here, not now." With a flash of light he
transformed into his human male form, wearing a black on black outfit he had
borrowed from Mamoru Chiba. He scooped up Luna deftly before the nearest
cat could reach her and sprinted away, holding her close to his chest.
"Hold on, {love : Love}. It won't be much longer."
*****************
{Keichi : Keiichi} was busy at work in his school lab, making moon rock bracelets with
Belldandy, or that is, Belldandy Three when he noticed that
something was wrong. Belldandy had been helping him with his work, as she
usually did, but suddenly she seemed distracted. She gave off a
low moan and went to sit down shakily on a lab stool.
"What's wrong, Belldandy?" {Keichi : Keiichi} asked worriedly. "Has something happened
to one of the others?"
{Keichi : Keiichi} shot up. "Is she OK? Did she find something?"
"Excited?" {Keichi : Keiichi} looked confused. "Did she find something?"
"Her cycle?" {Keichi : Keiichi} blinked, then blushed. "You mean she's...?"
What about Bell-tiger?
{Keichi : Keiichi} swallowed. "You mean... you're feeling what she does?"
Belldandy nodded, unconsciously opening her collar slightly. "Yes, to a
lesser degree." She fanned herself slightly, opening her collar a bit
more, allowing {Keichi : Keiichi} a glimpse of her damp cleavage. "Oh my..."
{Keichi : Keiichi} swallowed nervously. "Er... will she be alright?"
{Keichi : Keiichi} wasn't sure if he was pleased or disappointed. "Oh. Well that's
good."
Belldandy looked at her beloved fondly as he went back to work mixing the
ingredients for the moon rock bracelets. "{Keichi : Keiichi}...."
"Hmm?" {Keichi : Keiichi} looked over at her questioningly, doing his best to ignore
her flushed skin, the cleavage she was presenting him with, or the rather
lustful look she was giving him as he sat at his workstation. "What is it,
Belldandy?"
She shook her head, moving over to sit next to him, and put on hand over
his, smiling. {Keichi : Keiichi} smiled back and gripped the hand in his tightly,
and for a long time they simply sat there, looking at each other.
Belldandy's eyes seemed more expectant than usual, and {Keichi : Keiichi} slowly leaned
closer to her. She met him halfway, and they melded into a kiss without
saying another word.
Bell-cat shrugged helplessly. "Without our powers... there is no real way
for us to know. I only hope that the moon rock bracelets {Keichi : Keiichi} is
preparing will work on these mortal bodies."
"I have solved your missing girl case{: ,} Inspector."
"Thank {you inspector : you, Inspector}. I'll keep you apprised of my progress in the case."
Akane flushed bright red clear down to her upper chest, suddenly struggling
futilely to cover herself up. "Ranma... stop.. stop looking at me like
that." She was incredibly, preternaturally aware of every inch of her bared
skin, of her nipples engorging even as Ranma involuntarily glanced down to
between her legs, where her most private self was bared for his inspection.
Akane felt a warm wetness down there as well, and tried desperately to close
her legs, making the bedposts {grown : groan}, but not able to apply her full
strength.
