Ranma 1/2-Ranko 1/2:  Marital Arts
Fanfic by J.K. Hayashi

Episode 2:  Reunions - Part III

Nabiki entered the room dressed in a bathrobe, her lean legs visible 
as she walked.  Behind her she dragged a plastic children�s pool 
filled with grapes.  She dumped it in the center of the room.  Nabiki 
grinned at the two of them.

Nabiki:  �Well, aren�t you ready to make some wine with all that 
	bouncing around?�

Nabiki dropped her bathrobe onto the floor and climbed in.  Ranma 
carried Akane from the bed as they joined her.

****************

Soun prayed at the family shrine before going to bed.  His wife 
would have been so happy at the way things have turned out.  Akane 
and Ranma married.  Kasumi being courted by Dr. Tofu.  If only 
Nabiki would find someone everything would be perfect.

Soun found himself proud at they way his daughters turned out.  
With their mother�s death, he didn�t know if he could cope with 
raising three young girls to womanhood.  They were all so innocent 
and pure.

****************

Ryoga woke up covered by a light blanket.  He had an incredible 
headache and the room was dark.  Sleeping next to him in the futon 
was Ranko in male form, but he didn�t know if it was Ranma or 
Ranko.  He was somewhat confused; things had been so simple that 
morning.  Was she really attracted to him?  If she was, and they got 
married, that would mean Ranma would be his brother-in-law.  He 
couldn�t hate Ranma then, could he?

He thought back to what had happened.  Ranko, lying there in front 
of him, ready to make love to him.  Ryoga�s nose started to bleed 
again.  Ryoga left to find a faucet.

****************

Shampoo crawled on the Tendo roof.  The moon shone brightly, 
giving her plenty of light for what she was about to do.  She made 
sure that the shampoo bottle was secure in her bodice, then sneaked 
into Ranko�s room.  Inside, the sleeping Ranko stirred at the slight 
noise.

Ranko:  [mumbling]  �Ryoga?�

Shampoo knew what it was that kept male Ranko away from her.  It 
was her duty to kill his sister, female Ranko.  She had spent the 
night making the special shampoo that would make him forget 
female Ranko.  It was a technique that Shampoo was proud of, 
because she was the best (she knew this because her great-
grandmother had told her).  Shampoo smiled to herself; she would 
also make male Ranma forget Akane and return home with two 
lovers with exceptional fighting ability.  She would be the envy of 
the village.

She knew that Ranko would give in.  Shampoo had felt the way 
Ranko had fought to keep from responding to her kisses.  She crept 
closer, opening the bottle and preparing to perform the Xi Fa Xiang 
Gao Shiatsu technique.  In the moonlight Shampoo could see the 
muscles on Ranko�s bare chest rise with each breath.

Ranko smelled Shampoo in the room.  It was one of the things that 
Nodoka had taught her; to be able to distinguish your lovers even if 
you couldn�t see or hear or touch them.  Ranko waited until 
Shampoo was right on top of her before she brought her legs up, 
catching Shampoo�s head between them and rolling her onto the 
floor, Ranko ending by straddling Shampoo�s stomach and holding 
her wrists to the floor.  The bottle of shampoo went bouncing to one 
side, spilling its contents.

Shampoo:  �Male Ranko defeat Shampoo again.  For sure become 
	husband now.�

Ranko looked down at Shampoo, Shampoo�s chest to rising and 
falling underneath Ranko�s body.  Ranko wanted to kiss her.  
Instead, she rolled off and walked to the side of the room to her 
spare hot water bottle.  She might be killed, but she couldn�t keep 
lying to Shampoo.  Ranko poured the hot water onto herself.

Ranko:  �Shampoo... I�m really a girl.�

The moonlight gave Shampoo an excellent view of Ranko�s chest.  
Ranko fell back as Shampoo looked as if she was going to attack, 
Ranko closing her eyes as she prepared herself to be beaten, possibly 
killed.  When she opened them again she saw Shampoo crying in 
front of her, unable to attack.  Shampoo turned and started to leave.  
Ranko caught her hand and spun Shampoo around to face her again.

Shampoo looked surprised, tear trails ran down her cheeks.  Ranko 
kissed her and pulled her down to the futon.  Shampoo felt herself 
wanting to run away.  Polygamy wasn�t unknown in her village, but 
she had never thought the wives did anything like this...

Ranko ran her hands up the length of Shampoo�s legs, and when she 
reached the bottom of Shampoo�s dress she started to kiss her way 
up, following the dress hem as she removed it inch by inch.  
Shampoo shuddered when Ranko first kissed her sex through her 
panties, then was half disappointed when she left it to make her way 
up her stomach.

Ranko paused when she reached Shampoo�s chest, taking the time 
to run her hands over Shampoo�s breasts, to pinch her nipples, to 
kiss the valley between.  Shampoo moaned, then tore the remaining 
material over her head.  Ranko nursed Shampoo�s nipples erect 
while she brought a hand back down to run a finger over Shampoo�s 
slit.  Ranko drew Shampoo�s panties to one side and slipped her 
finger into the moist folds.

Shampoo arched her back at the penetration, pressing her tit into 
Ranko�s mouth.  When Shampoo�s back touched the floor again she 
lifted her head to see Ranko at her work.  Shampoo rolled them both 
over so that she was now on top, then returned the favor of 
attentions.  Ranko�s hand moved to hold the back of Shampoo�s 
head closer to her own body as Shampoo�s tongue tickled her skin.

Ranko turned onto her side, and shifted her body so that her head 
was by Shampoo�s purple bush, and Shampoo was by her red one.  
Shampoo gasped when Ranko kissed it, but quickly did the same to 
her.  Ranko penetrated Shampoo with her tongue.  Shampoo 
followed.  It quickly became a contest between the two of them, each 
trying to make the other orgasm first.

They started to lick each other�s clits in desperation, then started to 
insert their fingers, pushing themselves into each other.  Faster and 
faster their hands moved until they blurred.  Ranko and Shampoo 
felt themselves on the edge, both of them moaning at the pleasure 
they were received from the other.  Both of them screamed as they 
came, both trying to muffle the sound in the other�s body.  It just 
prolonged the pleasure.

Both of them panted as they attempted to slow their breathing, 
lightly licking the juices that had flowed from the other.  Ranko 
crawled onto her hands and knees as she lay next to Shampoo, 
kissing her and holding her in her arms.

****************

Shampoo woke up suckling on Ranko�s breast.  Her eyes popped 
open as she realized what she had done.  She had made love to 
another woman.  The person she was supposed to kill.  She had to 
get out of there before anything worse happened.

She slipped out of Ranko�s embrace and grabbed her clothes, 
making her way to the window.  She looked back at Ranko.  She 
wanted to make love to her again.

Making up her mind, Shampoo wrote a note and left it on the 
windowsill. She pulled her dress over her head as she jumped to the 
ground.  She would take whatever punishment there was for not 
fulfilling the �kiss of death�.  She cried as she left for China.

****************

Ranko woke in the darkness, the alarm clock telling her that it was 
nearly three.  She had fallen asleep with Shampoo in her arms, but 
her lover was nowhere to be seen.  On the windowsill was a note, 
but it was written in chinese so she couldn�t understand it.  She 
looked outside; everything was quiet.  She turned back to her room 
and saw a small bottle of shampoo open on the floor, Ryoga�s 
backpack in one corner of the room, her futon rumpled from the 
lovemaking.

Ranko walked naked out into the hall, going to her parent�s room.  
Listening at the door, she could hear her parents going at it, their 
erotic noises bringing back memories of the sounds that she had 
been making earlier.  She went to Ranma and Akane�s room and 
opened the door.

The moonlight outlined the bodies in the small pool, Nabiki and 
Akane lying in the crooks of Ranma�s arms, all three covered with 
grape juice.  Ranko stepped onto the newspapers surrounding the 
pool and crawled in, lying on top of Ranma, resting her head on his 
chest.  The three of them woke.  Ranko started to cry, her tears 
falling onto her brother.  Nabiki and Akane embraced her by putting 
their arms around her back.  Soon all four were asleep, the grape 
juice lulling them with its warmth.

They awoke the next morning in time to clean up and return to their 
rooms so that they wouldn�t be caught by Genma if Nodoka allowed 
him to work on their training that morning.  Nabiki also bottled up 
the grape juice, knowing that she couldn�t start turning it to wine 
until she found out where Kasumi kept the yeast.

***************

Nabiki accidentally dropped a new set of photos by Kuno, the new 
ones, taken since her return from her training trip.  A couple of 
shots of (female) Ranma emerging from the pond, some of Ranko 
sleeping before they found out Shampoo had returned.  Kuno eagerly 
snapped them up and groaned at the increase in cost, but bought 
them just the same.

Kuno:  �Where are the pictures of my love�s twin sister?�
Nabiki:  �I�m working on it, Kuno.  Its not easy to take secret photos 
	of the two of them together .�
Kuno:  �But when?�
Nabiki:  �I couldn�t say for sure.  Ranko is somewhat depressed 
	right now...�

Kuno ran out of the classroom.  Nabiki thought to herself that she 
wasn�t really breaking a confidence; everyone had been talking 
about Ranko not being herself.  Kuno, being oblivious, just hadn�t 
noticed.  Nabiki stuffed her payment into her purse and set about to 
look for new customers.  They weren�t hard to find; Kuno may have 
been the biggest pervert, but Ranko had a number of other admirers.

***************

Kuno burst into the sophomore classroom and kneeled next to 
Ranko.

Kuno:  �Oh my love, let my light chase away this melancholy that 
	afflicts your soul.�
Ranko:  �Kuno.  Please leave me alone.�
Kuno:  �Never!  You know that you love me!  Admit it freely to the 
	world!�

Kuno felt Ranko lightly touch a spot on his chest.  He shivered.  She 
would vocalize her true feeling for him at last.  Ranko slapped his 
face.

Ranko:  �Kuno, you pervert!�

Everyone followed Ranko�s gaze down to Kuno�s crotch, where 
there was a bulge in Kuno�s pants.  Kuno �acked!�, then hopped out 
of the classroom trying to cover his erection from the class.  
Everyone started to laugh at him.  Ranko smiled evilly to herself and 
thought �This Shiatsu Erection Spot could be a lot of fun.�.

scene between Ranma, Akane, and Nabiki which will be inserted for
