Part 2
A few weeks later, Ranma was running down the street towards school with Akane. Ranma was in girl-form thanks to a certain ladle lady. And there was no time to change back. Ranma silently vowed to carry around a thermos of hot water in the future. Unfortunately Shampoo saw the two running into the school yard and went after them. Unfortunately for her, a student dumped out a bucket of water out the window.
Ranma and Akane were about to get past Kuno when they heard a yell, “AIREN…meow!”
Ranma shrieked as he saw Shampoo-neko jump near her. “C-c-c-a-a-a-t-t” She started to run away but Shampoo-neko jumped onto her face.
“Mmph…meow.” A growl was heard and Shampoo-neko went flying via Ranma Airlines. Akane froze, Ranma never hit girls, not even in cat mode.
Ranma-neko looked around lazily. Then she started to clean herself calmly, she was so dirty.
Akane bent down towards Ranma-neko. “Ranma, come here please.” She asked softly.
Ranma-neko hissed at Akane, this girl was the one her mate loved. She would have to battle with the female for him. Ranma-neko got into fighting-mode.
Akane froze. This wasn’t supposed to happen. “Oh shit..” She had no chance against Ranma-neko, all she could do was pray that someone would distract him long enough for her to get away. Then she heard a cry of “Where am I now?”
Ranma-neko took her attention away from Akane. It was her mate! Oh joy, she would be fertile soon and all he had to do was stop getting lost. She meowed and jumped at a unsuspecting Ryoga.
Ryoga was lost again, he thought that he was in Japan but you never knew. Sometimes it turned out to be Los Angeles, or London, or Sydney, or … Then a flying projectile hit him and knocked him to the ground. He craned his head and saw a female Ranma-neko sitting on his chest, purring contentedly.
Akane ran over to Ranma, so did everyone else there. “Ranma! What are you…” She saw the scene. “doing..”
Ryoga yelled. “Get her off of me! Please!” He prayed that Tofu or Cologne would show up and help him out.
Akane frowned. “What is she doing on you?”
Ranma-neko, recognizing Akane’s voice, sat down in Ryoga’s lap and hissed at Akane. This was her mate! Hers and no one else’s!
Ryoga sat up and hurriedly said, “I have no idea.. but cologneanddoctortofuknowandicanttellyou”
Akane frowned, then smirked. “Fine, I’ll ask Doctor Tofu.” Then she left for his office.
Ryoga paled and tried to go after her. But Ranma-neko was having none of that. She clung to him like a barnacle. Ryoga just sighed and carried her in his arms. “Wait up, Akane! I can explain..”
Doctor Tofu looked up from his newspaper to see Akane storm in, followed by Ryoga. Who was carrying a content Ranma-chan. He smirked, Ryoga will never live it down. Then he turned his attention to Akane. “Hello Akane, what’s wrong?”
“Something is wrong with Ranma, he’s acting crazy in his cat mode and he won’t let me near him.” Akane then glared at Ryoga. “Ryoga knows something but won’t tell me what.”
Doctor Tofu sighed. “Sit down Akane. I have something to tell you.” He filled her in on what happened a few weeks ago. She took it rather well.
“Haahaahaaa, this is so funny…” Akane tried to stifle her laughs. “Ranma and Ryoga.. ha ha ha…”
“There is some poetic justice to it, Akane, but it’s not Ranma’s fault. It’s just natural for a female cat to want to have kittens and a mate.”
“Can Ranma have children?” Akane asked. “Just in case….”
Tofu nodded. “Ranma first came to me when she noticed that she had a menstrual period. She can have children but carrying the children to full term is another story. If she should change back into male form, there is a risk that the children might not survive. But that is only a theory.”
“Why did she chose Ryoga?” Akane asked, wondering about the various love potions and magic spells floating around Nerima.
Tofu shrugged. “Ryoga is the only person around who has come close to beating Ranma using skill, strength, and speed alone. Besides it could be worse.”
Akane raised her left eyebrow in disbelief, “How?”
Tofu shrugged. “It could have been Kuno, or Mousse, or even Tsubasa. Count yourself lucky it’s somebody who won’t take advantage of her in this state.”
She had to agree with him on that one. Then she turned to a nervous Ryoga who gingerly petted Ranma-neko on the head. He was whispering. “Good kitty, now get off of me, please.”
“Ryoga,” She said calmly. “Take advantage of Ranma and I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth.”
Ranma-neko purred contentedly as her mate petted her head. She angled for him to scratch behind her ears. The female was obviously jealous of her and her mate but hey, the survival of the fittest.
Ryoga whimpered. “Akane, please get her off of me…please..”
Akane giggled and went to get the kettle from the kitchen. You had to admit that the situation was funny. Then she suddenly stopped. Did that mean that Ranma loved Ryoga?? Maybe Ranma was gay, after all he had beautiful girls all over him and he usually took off running in the opposite direction. He was nicer to Ukyou when he thought that she was a guy. The evidence wasn’t in Ranma’s favor. Akane grimaced and vowed to talk to her fiancee when he was back to normal.
