Cool ^_-

I really think this whole thing is a result of Shanpoo reacting with a
little bit too much pride to her defeat by onna-Ranma.
``I have heard what you say. However, I won't accept my failure yet.
I have to try this at least once.'' Shanpoo stares back at her
Great-grandmother, knowing the argument about this course of action like
CA> the
back of her hand.
``Remember that I warned you. If this fails you will give up on Ranma
and we will return to China.''
CA> Crimson: [blinks] COLOGNE said that?
Of course, in this I've decided that the version of the law that they
showed Ranma and company is a recent `clarification' that Shanpoo is
the test case for. (the one they showed just _doesn't_ make sense.)
``Akane, I'm sorry, but I can't let you poison me anymore. There are
three things one needs to do while cooking. First, one must know what

doing, which means you need to follow a recipe with no substitutions
one needs (oops)
CA> Crimson: That aside, shouldn't Akne have malleted him for that remark?
Akane's eaten her own food, and she takes advice if one manages to
slip it in quietly enough.
A long moment passes with both Akane and Shanpoo being utterly silent.
``That wasn't very smart my love.''
CA> Crimson: ....
CA> Chris: ....
CA> Crimson: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
CA> Chris: [smacks forehead with palm] Oh no.
``No, I can't say as it was.''
``What are you too talking about?'' Ranma is mildly bewildered by
two (o)
``I'm going with my wife to China.'' Akane smiles happily, zoning out
into Shanpoo's face.
CA> [Crimson and Chris facefault]
CA> Chris: Hooooboy.
*Nan tte koto!* Ranma suddenly hears the chopsticks he had in his hand
snap, looks down to see a slow trickle of blood begin. *maybe I should
CA> call
Utchan* Ranma starts to his feet, holding his palm to stop the bleeding.
CA> Chris: Umm...there's something wrong here.
CA> Crimson: You JUST noticed?
CA> Chris: Don't be a twerp. I mean, Ranma's taking this awfully well, don't
CA> you think?
CA> Crimson: [shrugs] Hey, after living his life, I'm suprised anything fazes
CA> him.
I was thinking it was shock -_-
``You fed my little girls a love potion!'' Soun's tears make everyone
draw back from the flood.
``No, father, Ran-chan didn't feed either of us the love potion. We
both ate it of our own free will. Ranma did tell Akane to taste the
CA> ramen it
was in, but that was because he was trying to make her realize what she
CA> was
doing wrong as a cook. How was he to know that Shanpoo had drugged the
CA> ramen?
It isn't something she's ever done before.''
CA> Chris: EXCUSE ME?
I've read multiple 'fics where it was treated as a common occurance,
but in the manga (and the anime for that matter) it didn't happen.
CA> Chris: Nodoka's taking this well.
Nodoka was expecting Genma to turn Ranma into a Sukebe, I think she'd
take about anything well.
CA> Crimson: Soun's about right.
Thanks.
``I remember hearing about a Shintou priest who will do ceremonies for
`odd' families. We talked about going there with Shanpoo and Akane.''
CA> Ranma
stops speaking and goes back to eating.
``That would be nice. I don't think the government will recognize
such a marriage, unfortunately.''
``True. However, it won't be much of a problem to get our names
changed to match, and the gay rights laws are finally starting to take
effect.'' Kasumi says before emulating her new iinazuke, eating with a
CA> speed
and efficiency that the others had never seen in her.
CA> Crimson: You know, I just realized a problem I have with this fic.
CA> Chris: And that is?
CA> Crimson: Everyone's too...reasonable.
That's because the unreasonable people are passed out on the floor ^_-
CA> Voice: Watch it there...you're cutting a little close.
``Ano, could we speak to Ranma for a moment?'' Akane asks from the
doorway. A quick look is exchanged and Ukyou, Kasumi and Ranma stand up
CA> and
follow the two young women into the garden.
``Hazukashii nan desu kedo,'' Akane breaks off, flushing.
CA> Chris: Too much Japanese.
Appended a glossary ^_^
``We've decided to have a child, and were wondering if we could get a
donation,'' Shanpoo holds out the carefully washed film canister that
CA> they had
brought, ``If it is OK with you.'' She looks at Kasumi and Ukyou.
Ranma follows the glance, and raises one eyebrow, shrugging her
shoulders slightly to say `It's your choice.'
``I don't mind,'' Ukyou shrugs.
``Nor I,'' Kasumi continues.
``Guess you can,'' Ranma finishes.
``Onee-chan, I didn't know you were interested in Ranma.''
``I wasn't. I took my bite of ramen at exactly the right moment,
though, so now I get to keep them.'' She wraps an arm each about Ranma
CA> and
Ukyou.
CA> Chris: [raises his hand] Can I have that recipe?
CA> Voice: Shaddup, you're nto getting off that easily.
CA> Chris: [shrugs] Worth a try
``Could you come in and tell the family your plans? Oh, and we were
planning a Shintou wedding ceremony, and we were wondering if you would
CA> like to
have one too.'' Ranma asks over her shoulder as Kasumi turns all three
CA> of them
back towards the house, ``Oh, and pass me the container,'' She catches it
CA> one
handed and stuffs it into a pocket. ``I should have it for you by
CA> noonish
tomorrow, OK?'' She hears a muffled noise of assent from behind her.
CA> Chris: I'd like to point out some medical problems with that proposal.
CA> Crimson: [nods] There's a reason it's frozen, kids.
Well, I was figuring that Akane knew her cycles well enough to know
when such a thing would work . . .
(and when one is doing such things by onesself like this, they
recomend keeping the `donation' at body temperature for no more than
about a day, and definitely don't recomend freezing it (yes, I have
interests in weird things ^^; ))
Epilogue:
``Oh, yeah, Kunou-sempai, you wouldn't have heard. Akane went off to
China with Shanpoo, and last I heard they were expecting their first
CA> child.''
Ranma dodges the fountain of blood and watches amazed as Tatewaki passes
CA> out in
the schoolyard. ``Coming, Utchan?''
CA> C&C: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
``Un.'' And the two walk into school, fairly pleased with their summer
break.
Thanks for replying like this, even if it is just to get me to work on
my currently untitled fic. . .
