Ranma 1/2
Roku-bun No San : Part 2
By A-kun the Superfan
Part two. Not much more to say about it, except JACKIE CHAN RULES!!!! I wish you other authors WOULD FINISH A STORY BEFORE YOU POST IT!!!! I hate it when a good story is said to have another set of chapters and I have to wait for more than nine months to get a sequel!
Sorry. I've been reading some intresting stories recently and these have become problems. I apologize to all non-authors and to authors who are kind enough to do these things. To those people, thank you! You will be remembered though out history as the smart people.
One final note: as my orginal Roku-Bun No San was light-hearted with a few serious moments, this story will tend to be more indepth and darker.
Standard Disclaimers, cause I don't want to get sued.
Enjoy! ^_^;

Opening theme song - "Little Date"
A-kun's attribute
From high above comes the setting sun
Delivering me to dream country
Stars above, can't help counting one by one
Couple on a deck...
Don't make a scene, No! No!
Heck, I'm a nervous wreck...
My shaking knees, unforeseen
Try to smile, for a while...stop, it's futile
I'm a lonely girl, so lonely girl
Chance and sun, now look what they've done
Bringing me out here to you
Even though, in a bow, ribbons blue...
Hold my heart from view
Shining, draming, oh-so-quickly
Breezes salty blow in from the sea
It's not I don't love you...
No, that couldn't be
But now, this I vow
No more date for me

Prologue
(Not really, I just always wanted to put this in)
Shin walked into Benjamin Kilok's laboratory.
"What are you doing?" Shin asked.
"Ah! Shin! I'm so glad you're here. I got the Author's permission to start the story." Ben replied.
"Really?" Shin asked.
"Yep. Now, to press the button and start the story." Ben said.
"There's no button to start the story." Shin replied.
"Oh, yeah? Then what's this?" Ben said, pointing at a big red button.
"I still say there's no button to start a story." Shin said.
Ben pressed the button. Nothing happened.
"See?" Shin asked.
"You're right. We'll just have to use the switch." Ben said, pulling a nearby switch.
------------------------------------------------------------
The Story Begins Again
In Ranma's universe, Shin-chan, Ranko and Ranma-chan were asleep (in that order). Suddenly, the three of them become energy patterns. All three split once, but one splits a second time. Two patterns vanish away. Another two vanish to a different place. Shin-chan, Ranko and Ranma-chan remain asleep.
In Ranko's universe, Elaine Kilok and her assistant watched in horror as the machine's materailization point shifted dramatically and the machine exploded.
In the Tendo Dojo in Ranko's universe, Shin-chan and Ranma-chan appeared in Ranko's room. They woke up.
"Hey, what happened to our futons?" Ranma-chan asked in a whisper.
"Dad must have swiped them again. That old fool has warm fur and yet in the dead of winter, he still swipes our futons." Shin-chan cursed in a whisper.
"I hope Ranko doesn't mind us sleeping in her futon again." Ranma-chan said.
"Don't worry, she's used to it by now, remember? Dad's swiped our futons everyday for the last two weeks." Shin-chan replied.
Ranko moaned and rolled onto her side facing Shin-chan. Ranma-chan grumbled a curse at her incompotent father as she and Shin-chan layed down in Ranko's futon. Shin-chan was in the middle with Ranma-chan on the right. Ranko turned over and snuggled up next to Shin-chan as did Ranma-chan. The three of them slept like this too often thanks to Genma.
The trio fell asleep.
Ranko was beginning to wake up. She felt someone laying next to her. She snuggled closer and was about to fall asleep when a question popped into her head.
[Who is sleeping next to me?] Ranko wondered.
She opened her eyes and looked up at Shin-chan. The realization that a person that looked like herself was sleeping next to her snapped her to full consciousness. She noticed the other girl in her bed also looked like herself.
She took this in and thought of her options. She could scream, startling the two and making it easier to demand an explantion. Or she could gently wake them up and talk to them.
Before she could decide, though, Shin-chan woke up with Ranma-chan waking up soon after.
"Morning." Shin-chan said, sleepily.
"Yes, it is. Now, can you tell me WHY THE HELL YOU WERE SLEEPING IN MY BED????" Ranko yelled.
Kyouko Tendo and her three daughters burst into the room, well awake thanks to Ranko's yelling.
"What's going on here?" Kyouko asked.
Ranma-chan looked at Kyouko, unsure of who she was. Shin-chan recognized the woman immediately.
"Ranma, I have a feeling we aren't in Kansas anymore." Shin-chan said.
"Where's dad and Mr. Tendo?" Ranma-chan asked.
"I have the feeling that this is Ranko's dimension." Shin-chan replied.
"How did that happen?" Ranma-chan asked Shin-chan.
"I have the feeling that Ben's other in this world was performing a similar experiment to what he did in your world to bring us there. I'm wondering why we're here and not at his lab, though." Shin-chan answered.
"Can you explain what's going on?" Akane asked.
"Uh, yeah. This may be difficult to accept, but I am Shin Saotome and this is Ranma Saotome." Shin-chan said.
"That's impossible, mom died when I was born." Ranko replied.
"Unless your father had two illegitimate children." Nabiki told her.
"No. I am quite sure that dad did not have an affair. My mother is Nodoka Saotome, that I am more than sure of." Shin-chan replied.
"How can that be?" they all asked.
"As I was about to explain before you jumped to conclusions, we are from another dimension and I am sure that the person responsible for this little traveling will be here before the day is done." Shin-chan told them.
"I see. So how do you know this?" Nabiki asked.
"Because this has happened to me before. But before I explain, let's eat. I'm starved." Shin-chan said.
After breakfast, Shin, Ranma, Ranko, Akane, Kasumi, Nabiki, and Kyouko all sat around the table. Shin and Ranma had just finished retelling the tale of what had happened, where they were from, how it happened, and how they had dealt with it before.
"Interesting, to say the least." Kyouko said.
"Yeah, I've never heard so much bull**** in one story." Ranko added.
"It's not bull****. It's the truth." Shin said, calmly.
"Sure, pal. And I'm the Toothfairy." Ranko replied.
"Jeez, Ranko wasn't this dense before." Ranma commented.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!?" Ranko demanded.
"I thought Ranko was intellegent, but now..." Ranma began.
Shin smacked him over the head with his bo.
"Shut up, Ranma." Shin said, still calm.
Ranma attended to the new bump on his head.
"Ranko, listen to this and know we're telling the truth: Miko." Shin said.
Ranko blushed.
"How'd you know about that?" Ranko asked, on the verge of attacking Shin.
"You told me about it. All about it. I thought that might tell you that we're telling the truth." Shin told her.
"What or who is Miko?" Kasumi asked.
"Nevermind." Ranko replied, still blushing.
Elaine Kilok and her assistant walked in.
"Well, Aloe, looks like we've arrived quickly enough." Elaine said to her green-haired female assistant.
The chinese amazon nodded.
"I'm just glad we made it at all. That damn explosion nearly killed us." Aloe muttered.
Elaine nodded.
"I suppose I should explain..." Elaine said.
"No need. I've been through this before." Shin said.
Elaine regarded the young man with interest.
"Ms. Kilok, could this be an example of constants across the dimensions?" Aloe asked.
"Ms. Kilok?" Ranma asked.
"How do you know you reached across dimensions?" Shin asked right after Ranma's question.
"Yes and because that's what I made my machine for. I thought about going through time, but that's usually too difficult, so I was hoping to accomplish my goals by going through dimensions...hey, I thought you had gone through this before!" Elaine said.
"I have, but your 'other' was attempting to go through time and STILL managed the same results as your machine." Shin explained.
"Strange....I'd like to run some tests on you, but alas, all the equipment in my lab has been totally destroyed." Elaine said, dramatically.
"Quit the dramatics." Aloe said, rolling her eyes.
"All right." Elaine replied.
The two left to go rebuild the lab.
"You never let me be dramatic." Elaine whined as they left.
"That's because you do it too often." Aloe replied.
"Those two are strange." Akane said.
"What's stranger is that in my dimension, she's a he." Ranma said.
"Huh?" Ranko asked.
"He means, in his dimension, Elaine was born a man and is called Ben." Shin explained.
Suddenly, Ranko was splashed with cold water. Cologne latched onto Ranko-kun's rearend. Ranko-kun's eyes twitched for a moment as he was startled, but as Cologne began feeling him up, Ranko-kun booted Cologne into the sky.
"HENTAI!!!!!" Ranko-kun bellowed.
============================================================
Commercial
We see Ranma and Ryoga standing across from each other. They aren't really doing anything.
"I'm bored." Ranma says.
"Wanna fight?" Ryoga asks.
"No, that's getting boring and it doesn't even prove anything." Ranma replies.
"But I wanna fight!" Ryoga whines.
"Then how about fighting in Mortal Slambat?" Akane asks.
"Yeah! It's new option lets up to eight people fight at one time!" Ukyo says excitedly.
"All right!" Ranma and Ryoga cheer.
We see the title 'MORTAL SLAMBAT' appear on the screen.
In the background, Akane, Ranma, Ryoga, Ukyo, Shampoo, Mousse, Kasumi and Nabiki are playing.
"Because anything else is just boring!" the announcer says.
"Aw! Kasumi! That's the third time you beat all of us!" Ryoga whines.
"Shut up, loser!" Kasumi says gleefully cackling over her victory.
============================================================
At the Nekohaten, Cologne (after landing) and Shampoo walked up to her.
"Great-grandmother, Aloe just leave." Shampoo said.
"Really? How's she doing?" Cologne asked.
"She still girl." Shampoo told her grandmother.
"Too bad." Cologne replied.
Shampoo sighed. She would never marry Ranko if her great-grandmother kept feeling Ranko up.
Back at her house, which Elaine had built near her lab, Elaine and Aloe walked in.
"Hey, Elaine, how's it going?" a young man asked, walking into the hallway that Elaine and Aloe had just entered by.
"Fine, Ben. I guess. My lab blew up." Elaine said.
"Aw, well. You can't win 'em all." Ben commented.
Ben noticed Aloe was also there and she was smiling sweetly at him.
"Uh........H-h-h-h-hi, Aloe." Ben said nervously.
Ben thought for a second.
"I gotta go see if.........the bathroom needs toilet paper!" Ben said, racing off.
"You know, he acts so strangely whenever I do that..." Aloe began.
"I think it's because you kept grabbing him after he beat you." Elaine said.
"I was happy, okay? I had finally met a man who could beat me." Aloe said.
"And I think it has to do with your sleeping in his bed every night." Elaine added.
"It's traditional." Aloe said, blushing.
"It's not my business." Elaine said, smiling as she walked away.
Ranko, Ranma and Shin were practicing in the dojo. Kyouko and her daughters walked out in training outfits.
"Feel up to a free-for-all?" Kyouko asked.
"Free-for-all?" Ranma asked.
"Think battle-royal from WWF." Shin answered.
"Oh, okay." Ranma replied.
"Begin!" Kyouko said.
"No, I meant I understood!" Ranma yelped.
Shin grabbed Ranma in a headlock and began giving Ranma nuggies. Ranko and Akane faced off. Nabiki and Kasumi charged the duo as Kyouko charged Shin and Ranma.
"Aaaaaahhhhh!! LET ME GO!! IT REEKS UNDER HERE!!" Ranma cried.
"Oooooo! Just for that, WEDGIE!!!" Shin yelled, pulling Ranma's boxers out of his pants and pulling towards Ranma's head as far as possible.
Ranma yelped. Shin saw Kyouko racing towards them and let go of Ranma. Ranma was relieved that Shin had let him free from the headlock, but had little time to revel in that fact as he too noticed Kyouko charging at him.
"OW!" Ranma yelped.
"Well, if you'd stop moving, this wouldn't hurt." Ranko replied calmly.
"Jeez, Ranma. I can't believe you got beat up like that." Akane said.
Shin layed on the floor groaning, on the verge of tears. Kyouko and Kasumi were doing what they could.
"At least I'm not in the same shape as Shin." Ranma commented.
"Say, why's Shin like that anyway?" Ranko asked.
"I don't know." Ranma answered.
"Who hit him anyway?" Kyouko asked.
Akane and Ranko blushed.
"We found an opening and smashed him in the chest. He fell like a rag doll." Akane replied.
Shin staggered to his feet and left the living room.
"I wonder why he dropped like that..." Ranko said offhandedly.
"So do I." Ranma added.
"You mean you don't know?" Akane asked.
"Hey, he hasn't let me in on too much. I mean, we're kinda close as brothers go, but he came from another dimension, so I never got a life story." Ranma replied.
"I hope he's okay." Nabiki said, worriedly.
Shin-chan sat in the bath, crying.
[Jerks!! They didn't have to hit me that hard!!] Shin-chan thought, examining the black and purple bruise.
Shin-chan stood up carefully so not to strain the injury. She walked over to the bath and sat down.
Shin felt the injury flare up again as his body returned to normal form. Fresh tears sprang from his eyes.
[Jerks!!] Shin thought.
Ranma and Ranko knocked on the door. Shin stood up, grabbed the large towel he had brought into the bath, grabbed a pail of cold water, splashed himself, then wrapped the towel around her entire torso as she endured the pain.
"What?" Shin-chan demanded.
Ranma and Ranko causiously walked into the bathroom (YES, they're clothed, you perverts!).
"Hey, Shin. How's the bruise?" Ranma asked.
"It just stings, okay?" Shin-chan replied haughtily.
"What..." Ranko began.
"Look! Just leave it alone, okay?!" Shin-chan yelled.
She stormed past the two, grabbed her clothes and left, letting the door make an echoing slam.
Shin-chan, now dressed, sat at the end of the table looking at them darkly as though they had just done the most horrendous act you can do to another human being, to her.
(A-kun's note: Which as we all know is spraying mustard on to someone else's tuxedo)
Akane and Ranko were trying especially hard to try and brighten Shin-chan up and failing miserably. Shin-chan finished her meal and left without a word.
"Ouch! If Shin gives you a colder shoulder, you'll be encased in ice." Ranma remarked.
"Thanks, Ranma." Ranko said sarcastically.
Ranma let the remark by.
Shin-chan walked the streets of Nerima, not caring where she was, and fumed all the way. She sighed. [It wasn't their fault.] Shin-chan thought.
She thought about how she had gotten the injury and why she was so upset...
(FLASHBACK)
Chibi Shin and some friends were walking down the street when a bunch of bullies from Junior high stepped out in front of them. Shin, knowing more martial arts than his friends, decided that he would have to protect his friends.
Unfortunately, Shin wasn't well trained and wound up on his back with the bullies pummeling his chest for some unknown reason. The bullies decided that beating them up was not fun any more, so they began to leave.
Shin was pissed, no, more than pissed. He was at a stage of anger that no mortal, demi-god, dragon, goddess or even author had ever been. So, we'll call this stage the Ultra-super-pissed-off-with-extreme-anger-and-the-need-to-see-a-lot-of-blood-spilled-before-I'll-calm-down stage.
Shin stood up. He had never been enraged enough to bring forth a battle aura...until now that is. Summoning his rage and anger, Shin began gathering it into a ball.
"Shishi Houkodan!!!" Shin yelled, releasing what little energy he could at his young age.
The blast was no where near as powerful as a Shishi Houkodan from a more experienced ki-thrower, but it had it's effects. The bullies found themselves on their butts with minor burns and bruises on their arms, legs, and faces. Shin was to the point of nearly generating another ki bolt when the bullies decided to show what they were made of.
They ran away like sissies. Shin collapsed. When he woke up, the family doctor was examining him.
"Pretty nasty injury you got there, Shin." the old doctor told him.
Shin tried to sit up, but found it too painful. The doctor and his mother held him down.
"I've examined his chest. No broken ribs, but his nervous system seems to be extra-sensitive in that area. And injury will most likely be just as painful." the doctor told his mother.
"Is there anything you can do?" Nodoka asked.
The doctor shook his head.
"All I can do is maybe numb the area. The nervous system is not something to be played with, even by an expert. I'm sure that some endurance building will cause that to lessen to the point where it won't hurt as much, but that all I can recommend." the doctor replied.
(End flashback)
That's all the doctor had to say. The Breaking Point training had helped quite a bit, but an injury like the one that Akane and Ranko had given her still had pretty much the same effect now as it did back then, before the training.
Shin-chan decided that it really wasn't their fault. She had been careless, as she was being now. She noticed that she was now standing in front of the Kuno mansion.
"Ahahahahahahahahahahaha! Who dares solicit in front of the great house of Kuno? Whoever you are, knave, I, the Black Thorn of St. Hebereke School for boys Wrestling team, shall bring you to justice!" a boy said standing on top of the entrance to the Kuno mansion.
He was in a wrestling outfit. The lights turned on around the two, revealing Shin-chan and...and...RYOGA?!?!?
Shin-chan was on the verge of puking. The idea that RYOGA, of all people, had just given that speech.
"The pigtailed one?" Ryoga asked, realizing who it was.
He hopped down in front of Shin-chan. It was Ryoga, alright. He was sporting the same headband and still had the fangs.
"You lost your pigtail?" Ryoga asked, incrediously.
Shin-chan didn't move. She was still trying to get over the fact that RYOGA was part of the KUNO family, and she was failing.
"Then I shall call you the Red-haired one." Ryoga said, grasping her hand.
The stupid name shocked Shin-chan out of her state of mind.
"I'd rather be called by my real name." Shin-chan replied.
"Then what IS your real name?" Ryoga asked.
Shin-chan thought about this. Did she really want to give Ryoga her real name? After all, she didn't want a pychopath chasing her around, calling her real name out.
"I'm Sayaka." Shin-chan answered.
"Sayaka." Ryoga said, sparkles in his eyes.
Then the sparkles died.
"Don't fret, my love. I will finish off that strange man who calls himself 'Ranko'...... and we shall be together as we were meant to be." Ryoga told her.
Ryoga moved as though he was going to leave, when he turned back and kissed her. Shin-chan sank to her knees and Ryoga caught her.
"Oh, Ryoga." Shin-chan said.
They passionately embraced...
Shin-chan snapped her fingers in front of Ryoga's eyes. Ryoga came out of his daydream.
"What were you thinking of?" Shin-chan asked, wondering what had happened in Ryoga's head to cause him to zone out the instant after telling her that he'd vanquish Ranko-kun.
Ryoga began to lean forward to kiss her, only to receive a fist.
"What do you think you were going to do?" Shin-chan asked, not expecting a response.
She left. Ryoga's face still in the position it had been in when her fist had smashed in it. Finally, after recovering, Ryoga sighed and walked inside wishing that the dream had not been a dream and wondering why his only love looked older and more beautiful than she did in the daylight. She was also taller.
Shin-chan shivered as she came upon a conclusion. Ryoga had most likely imagined them kissing if he'd actually try it on her. And he was SERIOUSLY daydreaming if he thought for one second that she'd let a man kiss her on the lips. Maybe on the cheek...no, she'd only let a girl kiss her there. On the neck? NO! That was for fiancees only. Ryoga's actions brought up a question for Shin-chan to ponder on her way home.
Shin-chan reached the conclusion when she got home. She'd NEVER let a man kiss her. That was the answer. Since not even her feet would be acceptable, no man could ever kiss her. Then she shivered as she realized that she had actually focusing on where she'd like a man to kiss her. She nearly threw up on the spot.
"So THAT'S WHY!" Ranko and Akane exclaimed.
Then they sat down, wincing.
"Yes, that's why. And I don't want any of you telling this to ANYONE." Shin-chan told them.
"We won't." They all said in unison.
Kyouko looked at the clock.
"You'd all better get some sleep. This is a school night, you know." Kyouko said.
They all nodded, and after deciding where Shin-chan and Ranma would sleep, they all went to bed.

-"On the highway of life, there are passengers and drivers. but those are things in cars. You don't even want to KNOW what's on the highway itself."- A-kun, advice on Life.
============================================================
Ranko, Akane, Nabiki, Shin-chan and Ranma-chan walked towards the school.
"Can't believe you didn't even warn me." Ranma-chan grumbled.
"You know, I don't think I've ever gone to school the first day without being in cursed form. Wait, there were those few years before dad and I went to Jusenkyo, but those are too few to remember accurately." Shin-chan remarked.
"You know, now that I think about it, why haven't you changed back? You've been in that form all night." Ranko asked.
"I guess I'm a little too used to looking and feeling older than I am. When I'm a male, I just get the feeling that I'm like Ms. Hinako. I feel weak and less powerful as a guy as I do as a girl." Shin-chan replied.
"And you're even beginning to seem older. Until you told us your age, I was sure that I had an older brother/ sister." Ranma-chan told her.
"You know, I feel like an older brother/sister more than a twin." Shin-chan said.
Shin-chan seemed to get lost in thought. The rest of the trip was silent for Shin-chan as she thought. When they got to school, Kuno stepped out of the shadows.
[Ah, my loves. Akane, fierce like a tiger ready to pounce, Ranko, powerful and graceful and Nabiki, brilliant and wonderously wise. But what's this? My dear Ranko has sisters! A pigtailed girl and a girl wielding a staff!] Kuno thought.
"Ranko Saotome, I thought that such beauty had no equal, but today, I learn that I was foolish to believe such an unjustly thought." Kuno said.
[Hey! I just learned something at SCHOOL! I must remember to test this new ability later in class. I thought this place was for strutting around in your underwear.] Kuno thought.
Ranma-chan, Akane, Nabiki and Ranko watched as Shin-chan, still lost in thought, walked right past Kuno without second thought. Kuno, undaunted, walked up behind her and hugged her tightly.
"I shall date with all five of you!" Kuno declared.
Shin-chan, hearing Kuno's voice and feeling him cluch her chest and bruise, turned and in a single, solitairy moment, beat the living daylights out of Kuno. She left without a word.
"What's bugging Shin? Usually he moves slower so he can enjoy beating on Kuno." Ranma-chan remarked.
Ranko, Akane and Nabiki turned at looked at Ranma-chan as though she had just said, "Let's make love to Kuno while he's out."
So, basically, they were looking at her as though she was completely and utterly insane. They hurried into school.
At lunch, Ranma and Ranko sat down next to Shin-chan. Akane and Nabiki sat down with some friends at the end of the table.
Ranma was less worried this time because instead of looking hurt or depressed, Shin-chan had a face that showed only the slightest hint that she was even awake.
"What'cha thinking?" Ranma asked.
Shin-chan blinked and looked up from her food, which she hadn't touched.
"Just thinking." Shin-chan replied.
Ukyo, Shampoo and Mousse sat down across from them.
"Hey, Mousse, Shampoo. What are you doing here?" Ranma asked.
Ukyo, Mousse and Shampoo looked at this young man who looked like Ranko in male form. They then looked at the girl in front of them who looked like an older version of Ranko in her female form.
"Ranma, they go to school too. Cologne believed that they should learn something and get their LEGAL citizenship." Ranko explained.
"Ranko, who are they?" Shampoo asked, showing her steadily growing grasp of the japanese language.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you when you come over. But, for now, all you need to know is that's Ranma and this is Shin. They're my brothers." Ranko explained.
The trio looked at the two incrediously.
"Then why-" Mousse began.
"They have the opposite curse as me." Ranko explained.
Mousse nodded to show that he understood. Suddenly, the wall exploded inward.
"RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAANKOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Kodachi yelled.
"Hey, Kodachi. What's up?" Ranko asked in a friendly voice.
Ranma was stunned. [Kodachi....is....wearing Ryoga's clothes? That sly fox.] Ranma thought.
Kodachi charged Ranko, oblivious to everyone and everything else. She pulled out her umbrella and was about to smash Ranko when a hand caught her umbrella and her shoulder. She turned to see Shin-chan holding her.
"Wha-wha-what's going on?" Kodachi asked.
"I think you should stop attacking my sister." Shin-chan said evenly.
Kodachi looked at Ranko, then back to Shin-chan, then back to Ranko, then at Darth Vader, then at Jackie Chan, then at Ranma, then at Nuku Nuku and finally ending at a lunchlady who was scratching herself. Kodachi shivered then looked back at Ranko.
"Alright. I won't attack her if you explain WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!!!!" Kodachi said.
"Fair enough." Shin-chan replied.
============================================================
Commercial
We see Akane fighting Kodachi. Akane is obviously losing. Kodachi prepares to bind Akane, when Ranma throws her a can.
"Here Akane! Drink this!" Ranma yells.
Akane catches the can, drinks it and with astounding speed beats up Kodachi.
"What was that?" Akane asks, turning to Ranma.
"Jolt Mola." Ranma replies.
We see the FULL effects kick in. We see Akane rebuilding a destroyed bridge herself. We see her outracing the Flash. We see her beating up Superman AND his opponents. We see her threatening the Author.
"Jolt Mola! Now with Ultra-super caffinated sugar." the announcer says.
We see Superman and the Flash buying hundreds of cases of Jolt Mola.
============================================================
Kodachi, Ukyo, Shampoo, Mousse, Darth Vader, Nuku Nuku and Jackie Chan looked at the three siblings.
Darth Vader and Jackie Chan quickly lost interest and left. Nuku Nuku ate a few cookies then ran home at speeds that would otherwise be unattainable by humans alone.
"I don't believe it." Kodachi said.
"It's true." Shin-chan said.
"You didn't take a breath the entire time." Kodachi said.
Shin-chan facefaulted. She sighed as she returned to a sitting position.
[Every single time! Is there some unknown being that's doing this just to make fun of me?!] Shin-chan thought.
(Author's note: Yes, there is.)
"I'm going to go to bed. I've got a headache." Shin-chan said, leaving the room.
The rest of the group spent the night talking.
Shin-chan sat in bed. Words repeating themselves over and over. Shin-chan began to wonder.
Kuno and Ryoga sat across from each other. Ryoga was stunned at the news.
"The man has two more? And they look like our beloved Ranko?" Ryoga asked.
"I saw them with mine own eyes. One had a pigtail and the other had no pigtail or ponytail, but carried a staff." Kuno told his brother.
"And Ranko is no different?" Ryoga asked.
"None. We should attempt to learn their names, lest we make fools of ourselves." Kuno told him.
"I know the name of the staff-wielding girl. She told it to me last night when she walked past our gate. (waiting for a dramatic pause) It is Sayaka." Ryoga said.
Kuno was astounded that his brother had so quickly learned the staff-weilding girl's name.
"We should make alterations to our agreement as these new beautiful goddesses enter our lives." Kuno said.
Ryoga nodded.
"Since I learned Sayaka's name, I earn the right to attempt to gain her love first." Ryoga said, growling with determination.
Kuno narrowed his eyes.
"Very well, but I have the honor of attempting the pigtailed girl's love as I learned of their existance first." Kuno argued.
Ryoga narrowed his eyes.
"Very well." Ryoga replied.
They shook hands and left the room, leaving poor Sasuke to finish writing down what had been said.
"Enter our lives...." Sasuke muttered to himself.
He sighed.
"What pricks." Sasuke muttered.
The next week, Shin-chan and Ranko were bombarded by questions about her brother by the girls, while Ranma was asked about his sister by the boys. The two groups switched. The boys asked Shin-chan out and the girls asked Ranma out.
"ENOUGH!" Kuno bellowed startling the two groups.
The two groups looked at Kuno in fear.
"I care not for Ranma's relationships, despite the fact that he looks almost identically like the man enslaving my loves, but I cannot allow the brother of Ranko and Sayaka to be badgered by women, nor can I allow you insolent whelps talk to my beloveds. I hereby declare that any asking for a date from Ranma shall be by note alone. However, those who can defeat Ranko's sister may date with her." Kuno declared.
Ranma was relieved as his problem was done for, but Shin-chan was less than pleased with Kuno's declaration on dating her.
[Great! And here I thought this madness would end with Akane.] Shin-chan thought.
"And this shall go for the beautiful Ranko, Nabiki and Akane as you have been badgering them as well." Kuno finished.
Ranko, Nabiki, Shin-chan and Akane smashed Kuno to the ground.
"Leave us out of this!" Akane, Ranko and Nabiki yelled in unison.
"I'm outta here!" Shin-chan yelled as she dashed off before the boys could chase her.
"At least she'll get a good workout every morning." Nabiki commented.
"Hey, in the last week, I don't think I've seen Shin as a man." Ranma said, realizing.
"You're right. Maybe like Mr. Saotome, he just got tired of changing back." Akane said.
Akane regretted she mentioned Genma.
"Ranko, I'm sorry. I forgot." Akane said.
"Don't be. Dad made a mistake and I guess it's time for me to face that." Ranko replied.
"You know, not to hurt you or nothing, but if the police knew what Happosai was like, they would have congratulated them instead." Ranma told her.
"Really?" Ranko asked.
Cologne appeared and latched onto Ranma's butt.
"Ranko, you've really been working out!" Cologne commented.
Ranma grabbed Cologne and booted her into the sky.
"Imagine if Cologne was a man and after women and women's unmentionables instead. That's what Happosai was like." Ranma told her.
Every girl in a five mile area shivered uncontrollably.
Shin-chan sat in a tree on the outskirts of town. She was still trying to think about what had been bothering her. She hoped that she'd come to a decision soon.
She headed for home as the sun began setting.
Ranma and Ranko were waiting nervously as the sun began to set. Shin-chan walked and was quickly assualted by questions.
"Where have you been?" "Do you know how late it is?" "Can I have a cookie?" "Do you like spicy food?" "Is take-out alright?" "Why is the sky blue?" "How many pennyweights in a pound?"
"On the outskirts of town. Yes. Yes. Not really, it gives me gas. Yes. Yes. And how should I know?" Shin-chan replied.
"I don't know, I just wanted to throw that in." Kasumi said.
Shin-chan sighed and walked upstairs. She laid down and wondered some more about her self-imposed question.
Tsubasa Kurenai looked at the girl laying on her bed. From the information Tsubasa had gathered, it wasn't Ranko, but her sister.
"Dear, dear Sayaka. I love you." Tsubasa whispered, looking at Shin-chan dreamily.
Shin-chan had the feeling that someone was watching her. She looked outside to see a tree abnormally close to the window. She opened the window and touched it.
[That's odd. I don't remember a tree being here before. Oh, well.] Shin-chan thought, closing the window.
Tsubasa shivered in the disguise.
[She...she...SHE TOUCHED MY DISGUISE!!! I'LL NEVER WASH THIS DISGUISE AS LONG AS I LIVE!!!!] Tsubasa thought, happily.
Just as Tsubasa thought those words, a large flock of birds release the contents of their bladders onto the disguise and a dog peed on it. The dog raced off.
[Then again, maybe I will. But, I'LL NEVER LOSE THIS COSTUME AS LONG AS I LIVE!!!!] Tsubasa thought, racing off.
A woman screamed.
"The trees are alive!!! IT'S A SIGN OF THE END OF THE WORLD!!!" She screamed.
"Shad up." the woman next to her told her.
"Yea, you kniw wes drunked pipple ull suu thungs." Another woman said.
The following week, Shin-chan was still in thought. Even when she was beating up the mob, Kuno and Ryoga.
"Hey, Shin. Ain't it about time for you to tell us what you're thinking of?" Akane asked.
Shin-chan shook her head.
"I don't want to tell you if it's only a passing thought." Shin-chan replied.
"Shin, you've been thinking for two weeks. Whatever it is, it is NOT a passing thought." Nabiki said.
"I don't want to talk about it. Ranma and Ranko might freak out." Shin-chan replied.
"They're freaking anyway. You've been so distant these last two weeks." Nabiki answered.
Shin-chan sighed.
"I just have to think about this myself." Shin-chan replied.
Shin-chan left to the bathroom to bathe. Akane and Nabiki followed.
"Look, Shin, we're not going to leave you alone until you tell us what's going on." Akane declared.
Nabiki nodded in agreement. Shin-chan stared them down.
"I have to think about this myself. There's no point in worrying you over something that maybe nothing. Besides, I'm beginning to wonder if I should even..." Shin-chan drifted back into thought.
She undressed and walked into the bathroom. Akane and Nabiki began to worry.
"Two weeks, voice trailing off, and she's beginning to wonder? There's only one explanation." Nabiki said.
"What's that?" Akane asked.
"Shin is gay." Nabiki answered.
The bathroom door flew open and soap and buckets of cold water flew out like anti-aircraft weaponry. Nabiki was clean and wet in seconds.
(Editor's note: Sorry about the poor taste in that last joke. A-kun said he was excessively drunk when he wrote it.)
Shin-chan sat in bed. She sighed and closed her eyes.
"What about it?" She asked herself.
"What about what?" Ranko asked.
Shin-chan sat up slowly. She turned to Ranko.
"I've been thinking about it." Shin-chan said.
"About what?" Ranko asked.
"Turning into a girl forever." Shin-chan said quietly.
"What?" Ranko asked, surprised.
"I thinking about turning into a girl forever. I was disturbed a few days ago. You know why?" Shin-chan asked, her voice cracking.
"No, why?" Ranko asked.
"I looked into the mirror as a guy, and I didn't even recognize the face." Shin-chan said, tears rolling down her cheeks.
The fact struck Ranko like a punch to the face. She hugged Shin-chan and worried herself.
[What if I wake up one morning and I don't recognize my female's face?] Ranko thought.
The thought disturbed her.
"I didn't even realize until you guys talked about how you felt like I was older." Shin-chan said, tears still running down her cheeks.
Ranko hugged Shin-chan close to her. Ranko had to worry about what Shin-chan was worrying about.
[No wonder she's been so distant. She's been worrying about losing her identity and she had to think it over. I guess I'd worry about it too.] Ranko thought, squeezing Shin-chan again.
Then she realized something. Shin-chan had fallen asleep in her arms. She smiled and laid Shin-chan down on her bed and pulled the covers over her sleeping sibling.
Shin-chan sat up and sighed. She still hadn't decided. Luckily, it wasn't a school day. She left and started to walk.
Ranko and Ranma woke up. They walked downstairs, looking for Shin-chan. Finally, they gave up.
"Shin must be walking again." Ranko said.
"Shin's been doing that a lot lately." Ranma commented.
"Ranchan!" Ukyo said as she walked in.
Ranma and Ranko turned to her. Ukyo remembered that Ranma had been named 'Ranchan' by her other (the new term for identical twin in another dimension).
"Ranko, I have some tickets to a party next week, wanna come?" Ukyo asked.
"How many tickets?" Ranko asked.
"Six." Ukyo replied.
"A party? I'd love to go!" Akane said walking in.
"Same here." Ranma commented.
"I'm not staying here while there's a party." Nabiki commented as she followed Akane into the room.
Ukyo sighed. She had wanted a romantic moment with Ranko alone. She wished she hadn't bought all six tickets from her friend, but her friend had to get rid of them all. She also wished she hadn't mentioned all six tickets, since she planned to sell the last four tickets for a profit.
"Alright, I let you all come. But there's still the last ticket." Ukyo said.
"Why not bring Shin? He needs some time with friends and a party will brighten him up." Ranma suggested.
"Okay. The party is next saturday. I'll pick you all up here." Ukyo said, leaving.
As Ukyo walked home, she thought about how she fell in love with Ranko. It all happened years ago...
(flashback)
Genma walked his daughter down the street. Chibi-Ranko was dressed as a boy.
"Dad, where are we going?" Chibi-Ranko asked.
Genma didn't reply. They continued walking. Finally, they stopped at a yattai. Chibi-Ukyo and her father were hard at work preparing okonomiyakis for customers. Chibi-Ukyo and Chibi-Ranko looked at each other and smiled. Ukyo's father noticed this.
"Ukyo, why don't you run off and play with Ranko?" Ukyo's father asked.
Chibi-Ukyo smiled, hugged her father, and ran off to play with Chibi-Ranko. Ukyo's father turned to Genma.
"Are you really going to engage your son to my daughter?" Ukyo's father asked.
Chibi-Ukyo and Chibi-Ranko were close enough to hear, but they didn't notice. Genma nodded.
"Okay, if you take my daughter with you, I'll give you my yattai as a dowry." Ukyo's father told Genma.
Genma nodded again.
"And what about your son's other fiancee?" Ukyo's father asked.
"I'm afraid that my son is in love with your daughter. I will merely tell her father that Ranko can not marry his daughter. I hate to break promises, but my son's happiness is what's important." Genma replied.
Ukyo's father wasn't totally fooled. And later, when Genma took off with the family yattai, Ukyo's father merely shook his head and muttered curses at himself for being blind.
(End flashback)
Ukyo had devoted her life to getting revenge on Genma and marrying Ranko. She had been daunted by Ranko's true nature, but the fact that Ranko could become a man was enough for her to try and get her fiancee back. She would never let her father's attempt for her happiness be wasted.
When Shin-chan opened up the door to her room, she saw two letters to her on her bed.
She opened them both and read them.
"Dear Sayaka, I am in love with you. I am too embarrassed to tell you this in person, but will you meet me in the park at 11:30 a.m. tommorrow? Signed an Admirer." Shin-chan read.
The other note read pretty much the same thing. Shin-chan blushed.
[Two admirers? I hope it's not Kuno or Ryoga. Wait, they don't do this sort of thing. They come out and say stuff.] Shin-chan thought.
[What to do?] Shin-chan wondered.
The next day, Shin-chan sat on a bench in the park wearing her casual outfit nervously. She looked around and looked at the clock. It read 11:45 a.m. She checked her outfit again.
9:00 pm.
Ranko-kun and Akane sat across from each other nervously. Kyouko had told them to remain in the room until they had decided on their relationship. Ranko-kun looked up at Akane, who caught his glance.
"Ranko?" Akane asked.
"Yeah?" Ranko-kun replied.
Akane scooted forward and eventually was sitting next to an uncomfortable Ranko-kun. Akane took a deep breath and prepared herself for her admission. She thought about all the times Ranko had saved her, helped her and let her know how much she really cared.
"Ranko, I...I....l-l-love......you." Akane said.
Ranko-kun's heart nearly stopped in shock. When he recovered, he let himself let go of his pride.
"I love...you...too, Akane." Ranko-kun replied.
They leaned forward and kissed.
Ukyo listened at the door. She began to cry.
[Why can't Ranko love me?] Ukyo asked.
Ranma walked upstairs and saw Ukyo crying in front of Akane's bedroom door.
"Ukyo?" Ranma asked, quietly.
Ukyo turned to him. Ranma walked up to her.
"What's wrong?" Ranma asked.
Ukyo pointed to the door.
"Ranko.......Akane...." Ukyo got out before she broke down and began sobbing.
Ranma hugged Ukyo. Ukyo turned and cried onto his shoulder.
Shin-chan walked upstairs. The day had been horrible. She had waited until 8:30 p.m. before she tore up the letters and walked home, cursing herself for actually believing someone cared.
Then she looked and saw Ukyo turn and cry onto Ranma's shoulder. Her heart crumbled to dust. She turned and left quietly, her will focused on leaving without screaming in rage and anguish.
She walked aimlessly around the town. Insults that she had heard over the years were eoching in her mind, cutting at her very will to live.
Then she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Tsubasa, for the first time in a SUIT. A MAN'S SUIT.
Tsubasa handed her a bouquet of white roses and a box of chocolates. Shin-chan was too shocked to realize anything.
"Sayaka, I love you." Tsubasa said blushing.
Tsubasa smiled at her and raced off. Shin-chan looked at the gifts that Tsubasa had given her.
"Thank you, Tsubasa." Shin-chan said, smiling slightly.
She walked home, her heart reconstructed somewhat, but it was still heavy and she knew it would take more than just the sweet gifts Tsubasa had given her to restore her heavy heart to normal.
Tsubasa sat in her room, blushing. She looked at her suit.
"I actually did it. I told her how I feel." Tsubasa said.
She slowly undressed, her heart still pounding from the realization that Shin-chan had not thrown her gifts away.
"I just hope she won't resent me for being a girl." Tsubasa said to herself as she slowly unwrapped her chest.
A sudden thought hit her.
[What if she doesn't know I'm a girl?] Tsubasa wondered.
Shin-chan sat in her bed looking at Tsubasa's gifts.
[Even if Tsubasa is a girl, it was still sweet of her to give these to me.] Shin-chan thought.
Shin-chan had to wonder why Ranma said that Tsubasa was a cross-dresser in his world. Tsubasa dressed normal in that world. Dresses were proper for a girl.

Ending Theme - Yohko Special Song - "On The Fifteenth Night"
A-kun's attribute (seemed appropriate)
Tonight
Most bewitching of nights,
The broken blossoms
Falling from the tree...
The road,
Is stretching out far away,
My hair, blowing in the breeze...
I made a promise like this to someone before,
Take care with the fragilest ambitions of my heart.
On the fifteenth night,
We will all be born again,
Once more in the quest of
That ultimate joy...
On the fifteenth night,
We all be born again,
It's still worth possessing,
Even if it's empty.
In the Moonlight...
On the fifteenth night,
We will all be born again,
Once more in the quest of
That ultimate joy...
On the fifteenth night,
We all be born again,
It's still worth possessing,
Even if it's empty.
In the Moonlight...
------------------------------------------------------------
Aw, S^*T! I had to end this one too. Sorry that I don't finish certain things, leave a somewhat definite ending and such, but I believe my Roku-bun No San did that too much, so this one doesn't have a too definite ending. And I leave you hanging, don't I?
Why is Shin so depressed? Each of the Siblings universes has it's own attitude. Ranko's is filled with depression and anguish because it's such a messed up universe. Ranma's is a romantic/sex/comedy universe, thus allowing for more silly and romantic things to happen. Shin's is a laid back sort of universe, since most of the loose ends are tied up so quickly thanks to Shin's quick and brilliant thinking.
Why is Shin thinking of becoming a girl? Crisises, like the one Shin is having, tend to have you wondering who you are, why you're so different and etc. With Ranko-kun and Ranma looking almost exactly like him, an identity (or whatever YOU call it) crisis was bound to occur with one of them. I figured since Shin is the farthest from his universe, he should have it.
I have no idea why I heap so much on Shin. Wait, yes I do. Shin is a strong character. Someone might get the idea that he can just accept stuff as it is. Well, Shin is as normal as we are. Well, we can't do ALL the cool stuff he can, but it's nice to know that he is a somewhat REAL person.
What's with the bruise? As Achilles had his heel, Shin has his chest. Shin has been able to increase his resistance to blows, but since he's such a powerful person, I figured that he should have an easy to hit weak spot. As they say, the more powerful the character, the larger the weak spot. Look at Ranma. His biggest weak spot? His ego. That's HUGE!!!
I made this series to bring more life to each character, and to let certain characters play around with their new roles in a different universe.
Roku-bun No San 3 will probably come out some time, but don't expect me to write a non-lemon for that one.
Why are you named A-kun? I orginally thought of calling myself B-kun, but when I found out someone had that name, I decided to let him have it.
What does A-kun mean? It means one of many things: Mister A, A Male (the pun intended ^_^ (Hope you got it!)), and other things. I don't have all the translations yet.
