[Akane & Ranma's Room]

Akane sat on the bed, nursing Miyabi. The little baby girl had grown extremely 
quickly in the last year, and she was already attempting to walk. She was also 
remarkably strong for her age, which did not help when combined with her 
mobility and curiosity. Ranma and Akane had learned to keep a lot of things 
out of her way. At least they didn't own anything breakable, as anything that 
Miyabi would be able to break, had already been broken by Akane, mostly over 
Ranma's head.

Miyabi cooed in her mother's arms, tugging at her clothing. "Mama," she 
gurgled in baby talk.

Akane smiled down and kissed the top of her daughter's head, "Papa will be 
here soon, Miya-chan."

She smiled as Miyabi called out, "Papa!"

She stroked Miyabi's soft, dark hair, "Then we can see your grandparents!"
<Thank goodness that we've finally finished university! Soon we have to think
about taking over the doujou... but for now, it's holidays!>

Miyabi gurgled happily, starting to bounce in Akane's lap and playing with the 
tassels on her jumper.

The door opened. Ranma walked in and dumped his books on the table, smiling at 
his wife and daughter, "Tadaima!" As Akane got up, Ranma took Miyabi from her, 
swung her around, then hugged her to him, "How's my little Miya-chan?"

Miyabi giggled, loving having her father play games with her. She wrapped her 
small arms around his neck, grabbing his pigtail with one hand. "Papa!" She 
tugged at his hair.

Ranma tickled her with a hand, wincing a little, "Itee... She's got your brute 
strength, Akane!"

Akane stuck her tongue out at Ranma, "At least she doesn't have your brains!"

Ranma made a face back at Akane, causing Miyabi to giggle more.

"Let's get going... Everyone'll be waiting for us."

Ranma nodded and, taking Akane's hand with his free hand and still carrying 
Miyabi with the other, left their rooms.

[The Tendou Doujou]

Everyone was gathered in the doujou for Miyabi's first birthday. There was a 
table laden with food, and it was obvious that Kasumi and Nodoka had been 
busy all day, preparing for the party. Ukyou, Ryouga, Shampoo, Mousse, 
Kodachi, Mikado, Nabiki, Kunou, Azusa, Nodoka, Genma, Kasumi, Toufuu-sensei, 
Souun, Gosunkugi and chibi Hinako-sensei were all there, mingling or eating
the over abundance of food on the table.

Ranma and Akane soon entered, carrying their little girl. Miyabi was soon the 
centre of attention, just about everyone wanting to hold her or play with her. 
Azusa was kept well clear of her. Only Ryouga hung back from playing with 
Miyabi.

"What's wrong, Ryouga-kun?" Akane asked, sitting down beside him.

"W-wrong? Nothing, Akane-san!"

"Well, I've noticed you here, all alone, while everyone else is playing with 
Miya-chan."

Ryouga blushed a little, twiddling his fingers and looking at the floor, "I... 
I'm just no good with children, Akane-san. I'd drop her or something."

Ranma suddenly appeared next to Akane, "If Akane, the biggest klutz in all of 
Japan, can hold her without dropping her, you *should* be able to manage!"

Akane growled and elbowed Ranma in the face, without even looking. "You and 
Ukyou will have children of your own one day. You'll be a great father."

Ryouga blushed even deeper.

Ranma sat up, twitching, "If he can find his kid!"

Akane ground her foot into Ranma's sternum and he shut up.

"Ryouga-kun, hold Miyabi," called Ukyou, joining the small group. She held out 
Miyabi to Ryouga, smiling lovingly at her iinazuke.

Ryouga reached out, fearfully taking the beautiful baby girl in his arms, 
scared that he might hurt her, "She's so beautiful... She looks just like her 
mother..."

An "Oi! Stop flirting with my wife! Oof!" came from the floor. Akane's foot 
had landed solidly in Ranma's stomach again.

Miyabi looked up and giggled as she reached up to tug at Ryouga's top, cooing 
something in baby talk.

Ryouga smiled at her, loving the little girl already. He pulled a face at her, 
sending her into more peals of laughter. Before long, the two were playing 
happily, Miyabi talking to him in baby talk.

Ukyou smiled at Ryouga and Miyabi as she watched them. "He's so good with 
children, ne Akane-chan?" She smiled happily, "He's so sweet."

Akane looked at Ukyou, "You two would make great parents, you know. Ryouga's 
so protective, he'd look after you and your family very well."

Ukyou nodded, "I'd love to have a child. Seeing you and Ran-chan with 
Miyabi... But Ryouga won't make love to me until we're married. No matter how 
much I try!" She giggled softly.

Akane giggled too, blushing slightly. "Have you set a date yet?"

"At the end of spring," Ukyou replied, with a happy sigh.

"You think Ryouga'd find the wedding hall by then?" came a disembodied voice 
from the floor. This time it was stopped by a large spatula.

Akane smiled, then stooped down and helped Ranma 'the doormat' up. She dusted 
down his clothes, then poked him in the ribs, "You have to learn to keep your 
mouth shut."

Ranma grumbled, but watched Ryouga and Miyabi, "You know, for a guy who never 
saw his family for more than a day a year, if that, he's not too bad with 
kids." Akane and Ukyou both smiled. Then Ranma piped up again, "Hey Miyabi, 
it's 'Uncle P-chan!' Okay? Call him 'Uncle P-chan'!" Ranma was floored again
by the aforementioned spatula.

Ryouga continued swinging Miyabi around as she gurgled happily.

Ukyou, Akane and Ranma eventually rejoined the party, leaving Miyabi with 
Ryouga.

[The Tendou Doujou, Later]

Most of the party had died down. Genma and Souun were playing shogi. Nodoka 
was nursing Miyabi, in her lap. Gosunkugi was trying to explain magic to 
Hinako-sensei, who wanted him to do tricks for her. Toufuu and Kasumi sat 
with Nabiki and Kunou. Kasumi was resting her head on the doctor's shoulder, 
while Nabiki sat stroking Kunou's hair as he lay with his head in her lap. 
Shampoo and Mousse sat at the door, gazing up at the starry sky. Ryouga and 
Ukyou sat, talking with Akane and Ranma. Occasionally one of the girls hit 
Ranma or Ryouga as they started to argue. All in all, it was a very quiet 
conversation for them. Kodachi and Mikado were kissing, while Azusa thumped 
Mikado, again and again, vainly trying to gain his attention.

Suddenly Azusa spied a very cute stuffed pig moving silently into the doujou, 
past Shampoo and Mousse. She stared at it through large, blue, clueless eyes. 
"Waiwai! Kono buta wa totemo kawaii!! Angelique!!!" She jumped up and bouncied 
over to the stuffed toy, glomping onto it, hard.

Mikado, relieved to have Azusa gone, took Kodachi in his arms and started 
kissing her in earnest.

A muffled yelp came from the toy as Azusa literally squeezed the stuffings out 
of it. A head popped out from where the pig's head was, "Itee! Not so hard!"

Azusa blinked at the face, "Angelique grow kawaii girl's face."

The girl in the tattered remnants of the stuffed pig jumped out. She had long, 
light brown hair, large sparkling eyes, and a bow in her hair. She was dressed 
in a pink dress of such kawaii proportions that it matched Azusa's dress. 
"Shitsureishimasu. Have you seen Ukyou-sama?"

At her name, Ukyou froze. <That voice... No, it couldn't be!> She looked up. 
"Damn, it's that freak, Tsubasa!"

Everyone except Mikado and Kodachi looked up, and stared at the strange girl.

Tsubasa spotted Ukyou, and jumped over towards her, "Ukyou-sama! I found you!"

Tsubasa was about to have a meeting with Ukyou's fighting spatula when Azusa 
grabbed her, pulling her back, "Angelique stay with Azusa!"

The strange girl blinked and looked at Azusa. <K...kawaii,> she thought. 
"Okay, but my name's Tsubasa."

Azusa pouted, "Angelique."

"Anou... Tsubasa Kurenai."

"Angelique."

Tsubasa gave up and bouncied kawaii'ly, "Will you go on a date with me?" she 
asked, trying to look her cutest.

Ranma gaped, "Don't tell me Tsubasa's hitting on Azusa now..."

Akane and Ukyou stared, "..."

Everyone else just stared in shock at the two as Azusa nodded, and started 
bouncing around with Tsubasa.

Suddenly Tsubasa noticed people staring at her. She smiled even more cutely, 
"It's okay, I'm a guy!"

Half the room face-faulted.

[The Tendou Doujou, Evening]

Tsubasa, cross dresser extrordinaire, was giggling happily with Azusa as
they chattered inanely. By this time, people had started drifting home. Only 
the family, Mikado, the Kunou siblings, Ukyou, Ryouga, Shampoo and Mousse 
were still there.

Nodoka had put Miyabi to bed in the cot in the guest room, where she and Genma 
were sleeping. She wanted to give Ranma and Akane some time alone together. 
Besides, she also wanted to spend some time with her granddaughter.

Shampoo tugged at Mousse's sleeve, "Mousse, we leave now?" She gave a wink, 
"Hiibaa-chan still away, so Shampoo give something special to groom."

Mousse grinned, "I guess I'm going now." He managed to take Shampoo's hand 
even without his glasses on. But as he led her out, he walked straight into 
the pond. A very wet duck and cat clambered out the other side, and raced 
towards the Nekohanten.

Eventually Kodachi and Mikado joined everyone who was left.

"Oniisama, let us depart."

Kunou nodded and looked at Nabiki, "`Tis indeed a source of great sorrow 
that I must leave your side, even for a minute, my princess of yen."

Nabiki gave a lopsided smile, "Just get home, Tacchi. I'll see you before too 
long."

"What you see in that money-grabbing creature I will never know, oniisama." 
sighed Kodachi. She turned and left, taking Mikado with her. Kunou had no 
choice but to follow them.

Kasumi smiled at Nabiki, "You should marry that sweet boy soon, Nabiki."

Nabiki nodded a little, "Yeah, I know. But traditional weddings are *so* 
expensive. And I sort of do want to buy the wedding kimono with my own money...
since it's so special..."

Kasumi smiled at her, "Everything will work out..."

Ukyou slid an arm around Ryouga's waist, "Let's get going as well, 
Ryouga-kun."

Ryouga blushed, still shy at expressing his affections in public. "Hai, 
Ukyou-chan."

They wandered outside together, Ryouga sliding his arm around Ukyou to shield 
her from the cool night air.

Genma and Souun continued playing shogi, both cheating at every opportunity.

Toufuu-sensei kissed Kasumi lightly, "I'll see you again tomorrow, 
Kasumi." Then, he too, took his leave.

By now, only the family was left. Nodoka smiled at Ranma and Akane, "Go home, 
you two. You can have the place to yourselves for a few nights."

Akane smiled at her mother-in-law, "Thank you so much. We really appreciate 
this."

Ranma nodded in agreement.

Nodoka smiled understandingly, "Go see Miyabi again, then get home."

Akane nodded, then she and Ranma made their way from the doujou to the house, 
then upstairs and into Ranma's old room. Miyabi was asleep in the old cot set 
up in the corner. Her parents stood close by, and Akane kissed her gently. 
"Mama and Papa will see you in a little while, Miyabi." She smiled tenderly 
as Ranma kissed their child's forehead. "Be a good girl, Miya-chan," he said 
in a whisper, then placed a small stuffed panda next to her. "Happy birthday, 
little one."

Eventually, they left their daughter, walking back to their university rooms.

[Akane & Ranma's Room, Night]

Ranma streched, smiling at Akane, who was reclining on their futon. His taught
muscles flexed as he moved his arms back, attraching his wife's gaze to his
firm body. He watched her eyes slide down his form, taking in every detail
of his body. As she looks back up to his face, he flicked his pigtail back,
then slipped down onto the futon, next to her.

She reached up to him, running her fingertips along his cheek. "Mmm... Ranma,
our first night alone in such a long time..."

He kissed her softly, running a hand down the soft skin of her torso, over
the rise of her breasts. "We'll have to take each moment of this time as if
it were our last, then."

She shivered a little, sighing happily. Her hands ran down to his shoulders,
pulling him down against her. His naked body felt wonderful against hers. She
started to slowly rock herself under him, enjoying how he felt.

Ranma moved his knees between her thighs, slowly parting her long, smooth 
legs so he rested between her. He closed his eyes, loving her gentle rocking
motions under him. He gasped ever so softly as her skin sent tingles through
his body. He pressed his lips against hers, harder, kissing her with more
and more passion... his lips parting, his tongue flicking around her lips,
then into her sweet mouth where her tongue met his...

Akane tightened her grip around his shoulders, moaning into his mouth as she
moved... feeling his throbbing manhood pressed against her stomach. She 
knew how turned on he was... and the feeling was affecting her. Her sex
began to tingle, her need working through her...

Before long, Ranma started rocking against her, his arms wrapping around her
waist... As his length rubbed against the soft skin of his stomach, shivers
of pleasure flooded through him. He opened his eyes to stare into her face.

She was flushed with pleasure, her lips parted to pant softly. Her eyes met
his, shining with happiness...

"Ohh, Akane..." he moaned, "I need you so much..."

"Ranma..." she whispered, running her hands down his back, stroking his skin
as she touched him...

He slid a hand down, stroking her velvety skin, under her well rounded
rear...then he slipped his hand around to her hip, running a fingertip down
her thigh... and slowly slid it over to her inner thigh... She trembled as
he stroked her tender inner thigh, parting her legs a little further so he
coud run his finger past his hips, then slowly up to the soft, dark hair
of her sex.

Akane arched her back, trapping Ranma's length against her skin as Ranma
ran his finger down, between them, stroking his way down to her pink
flower. Ever so gently he parted her petals, a finger dipping into the
sweet, warm, wet opening he found there. As she groaned that familiar
moan, he let go of her petals, stroking a finger to her clit. He kissed her
deeply, letting her cry of pleasure vibrate in his mouth...

Her lips held his as she cried out, her body growing much hotter from his
gentle touch. She couldn't help but buck her hips against his as his
fingers probed her... she could feel his need, too... "Ran...ma.... I...
Oh, so goooooood..." she moaned.

Ranma's heart beat fast, matching the speed of Akane's heart beat, as their
chests pressed together, her breasts pushing up against him... her hard,
pink nipples pressing into his chest. He gritted his teeth as his need
grew stronger, wanting to pleasure his wife totally before he gave in...
"A...akane..."

Akane leaned her head back into the pillow, pushing herself up against him.
Her hands tightened around his shoulders, rocking her hips faster... She
let out a soft wimper as his finger plunged into her yet again, "R..Ranma...
I... I need you... now..."

He shivered, and nodded... manouvering himself till the tip of his asoko
pressed up against her opening, his fingers, covered in her honey, moving
aside... and thrust up into her, not being able to hold off any more. A
loud groan escaped his lips, their kiss broken...

"Aaaaaaaaaaaah!" Akane cried as he pushed deep into her with a single thrust.
She held him tighter yet, pushing her hips up against him, grinding them to
him as they met...

Ranma's weight almost pinned Akane to the futon as he rocked on her womanly
form, plunging deep into her tight opening, again and again... Pushing into
her tight, velvet-like warmth sent him into ecstasy... he pushed hard into
her, her inner walls squeezing around his length as they rocked together...
He shudderd, not minding her honey splashing out against him as he squelched
into her tight sex...

Akane groaned, throwing her head to the side as they rocked, their bodies
moving together faster... harder... Feeling her juices flowing out, she
gasped louder, the warm juices sending tingles through her...

Their bodies moved together, faster... their hips almost slaming together
as the passion and need took over... As their bodies swayed, they started
rocking side to side... eventually Akane pushing up too hard, rolling Ranma
over... but still they rocked together, captured in their passionate love
making.

Rolling around the futon, taking no notice of anything but their feelings,
Akane and Ranma continued rocking against each other, their bodies pressing
hard against the others, moving, swaying... both of them dripping with
sweat... Ranma rolled back on top of Akane as he thrust in... their momentum
continuing the roll... and they fell off the futon onto the floor.

Landing on his back, still holding Akane, Ranma took no notice of the hard
floor, not being able to tear himself away from this love making... They
continued kissing, Ranma's manhood thrusting deeply into her sex, feeling
her inner walls tightening around him... Then Akane shuddered...

Ranma's eyes opened as he felt her vaginal walls clamping around his asoko,
the feeling of her walls fluctuating around him... Pushing him right to
his limitations as he tried to hold on...

Akane cried out, the pleasure overwhelming her as she started to orgasm...
She thrust her hips forward... wanting Ranma as deep into her as she could
as she climaxed... "R...ra.... AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Waves of pleasure crashed over her, running through her, shaking her small,
feminine form...

Ranma groaned, feeling her coming around him... desperate to hold on... but
he was drawn along with her, pushed over the edge by the sensations she
gave him... "Uuuuungghh...Aa...ka....neeeeeeeeeeeee!"

They came together, holding each other tightly, each caught up in pure
ecstasy... Ranma's seed shooting into her as she orgasmed... but before
long, they both collapsed to the floor...

Ranma, holding Akane against him, lay with his back on the floor. Eventually,
he started feeling uncomfortable... but stroked her back slowly... "That was
so wonderful, Akane..."

Akane gave a soft, happy sigh... she smiled up at him, her short hair and
fringe plastered around her face... Then she noticed where they were. "Mmm,
Ranma... Let's get back to bed... I'm sure that was where we started!"

Ranma laughed softly, and nodded, rolling on his side, gently lowering Akane
to the floor. He pulled out of her with a soft moan, echoed by her, then sat
up, taking her gently in his arms. He lifted her as he stood, walking back
to their futon.

Akane smiled, her arms around his neck, continuing to hold onto him as he
lowered her to the futon, then snuggled up against her. They kissed again,
tenderly... She sighed happily, closing her eyes... "I love you, Ranma..."

Ranma, holding her close, resting against her familiar curves, sighed happily,
"And I love you, my Akane..."

Eventually they fell asleep together, holding each other in a loving, intimate
embrace.

[The River, Morning]

A giant sumo pig trotted down the street, near the river. A stunningly 
beautiful girl with her black hair tied in a big ponytail sat behind a cute 
brunette with two stripes of pink in her hair. The first girl was wearing the 
dogi of a ninja while the other wore a large jumper and a small tartan skirt.

"Well," said the kunoichi, "We're back, Akari-chan."

The other girl nodded. "Sou, ne, Kenzan-chan. I wonder if things have 
changed...?"

Konatsu Kenzan shook her head, "We won't know until we find them, will we? But 
that's not what we're here for..."

Akari nodded, "Let's find my grandfather."

The pig, Katsu-nishiki, continued on.

[Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya]

Ukyou opened the door at an incessant scratching sound. She looked out, then 
down. There, outside the restaurant, was a large black and white dog. It was 
strange in that one side of the dog was completely black, and the other side 
completely white. It sat, panting up at her.

"Oh! Ryouga-kun! Shirokuro's here!" she called.

Ryouga poked his head out of the door and blinked, "What're you doing here, 
girl?"

The dog barked as a number of very cute puppies, and another black and white 
dog, appeared behind her. All the puppies looked just like balls of fur, each 
black and white on each side respectively.

"Oh! Shirokuro's puppy, Kuroshiro, has had puppies!" Ryouga looked very 
pleased with himself. He knelt down and picked up the little fluffy creatures. 
He held one out to Ukyou as he grinned like a maniac, his cute little fangs 
peeking out.

Ukyou took a puppy, giggling, "Kawaii yo!" <Though I have no idea how he tells 
the difference between all his dogs. They all look the same to me!>

They entered the restaurant, then went upstairs to Ukyou's bedroom, the dogs 
following. They both played with the little creatures, Ukyou recognising the 
same gentleness in Ryouga that he displayed when he was holding Miyabi. <Oh 
Ryouga... You will be a wonderful father... And I will make sure that our 
family always stays together. You have Shirokuro to lead you home, unlike 
the rest of your family... You were practically an orphan...>

She reached out and ran a finger down Ryouga's cheek, "I love you." She 
whispered. She sighed happily as he smiled back.

"I love you too, Ukyou-chan."

[Unryuu Residence]

Akari knelt down next to her grandfather's futon, "I'm back, grandfather. 
Please forgive me for leaving you for so long, but..."

Her grandfather nodded his head slightly, "I've had to look after the pigs for 
you, Akari. Please take back your life here. I will not live much longer."

Akari nodded, shamefaced, "I...I'm sorry, grandfather."

He looked over at Akari, "Now, what's this about you wanting to marry? You 
found a stronger man than this 'Ryouga'?"

"I have found someone that I love, and who is strong. Kenzan-chan has looked 
after me while I've been away..."

Her grandfather nodded, "Will he help you look after the pigs?"

She nodded, "Kenzan-chan's been very good, helping me with Katsu-nishiki."

The old man smiled, "Please introduce me to him, so that I may give you both 
my approval for marriage."

Konatsu appeared, next to Akari, in a cloud of smoke, "Hajimemashite, Konatsu 
Kenzan desu. Douzo yoroshiku." She knelt down next to Akari. As the smoke 
dissipated, kiss marks, in the same shade as Konatsu's lipstick, covered both 
Akari and her grandfather. Konatsu blushed deeply, "Gomen nasai! Smoke usually 
means a kiss attack, so..."

Akari's grandfather looked at Konatsu in shock, "I remember something from my 
younger days... A group of women in a tea-shop, whose speciality attack was 
that one. Do you, perhaps, come from that place? The secret training ground of 
the kunoichi?"

Konatsu nodded, "Maybe you met my mother, if you went there. She died just 
after I was born, then my ugly stepmother and stepsisters took over, or so my 
father said once..."

Akari's grandfather nodded, "There was a beautiful girl there, who looked just 
like you. Although it turned out that she was a man."

"Oh, my grandfather!" Konatsu smiled happily, "I have his looks, exactly!"

"Those were enjoyable times..." Akari's grandfather relaxed on the bed. "But 
still, I can't allow my only grandchild to marry a girl."

Akari smiled, "But Kenzan-chan is a man!"

Konatsu pulled open her top, revealing the torso of a male martial artist, 
"Just like my grandfather!"

"Hmmm. Your grandfather, no matter his looks, was a man among men...not to 
mention a woman among women! I have no choice but to accept. Please look after 
my granddaughter."

Konatsu nodded, "I will, grandfather."  He took Akari's hand and smiled into 
her eyes, "We can get married now, Akari-chan!"

Akari took his small, feminine hands in hers, "Ureshii, Kenzan-chan!"

Katsu-nishiki smashed his way into the room through the nearest wall at 
Akari's whistle, and both she and Konatsu hopped on, "We will be back, soon, 
to feed the pigs, grandfather!"

With that, the giant sumo pig turned around and ran out through the wall, 
making a new hole in it, and leaving Akari's grandfather to sleep in the 
now drafty room.

[The Nekohanten]

Shampoo finished dressing, "Mmmm... I slept wonderfully, airen." she said in 
soft Mandarin.

Mousse finished concealing all of his weapons and other assorted items in his 
clothing, "Such a wonderful night, my bride. But we overslept."

Shampoo shrugged, "At least we'll open in time for lunch!"

Mousse nodded, and they wandered downstairs together. As they opened the 
restaurant, Akari and Konatsu entered, along with several regular patrons.

"Irasshaimase!" Shampoo stood at Akari and Konatsu's table, "What you like for 
lunch?"

Akari looked at Shampoo, "What we'd really like is to talk to R-ryouga-sama 
and Ukyou-san." Both she and Konatsu felt a small stab of pain at the names, 
just enough to remind them of their loss.

Shampoo frowned, nodding, "They in Ucchan's, across street. But you want eat 
here first! No eat there. Chinese much better!"

Konatsu shook his head, his long ponytail swinging, and sighed, but said 
nothing, letting Akari order ramen for them both.

[Akane & Ranma's Room]

Akane sat up and stretched, yawning. Ranma remained lying on the bed, his 
arms behind his head as he watched his wife. <Mmm... She's so beautiful,> he 
thought, staring at the soft, smooth skin of her back. <Such a sexy figure...> 
He smiled, running his eyes down her back, gazing at the curves of her torso. 
As she half-turned towards him, his eyes followed her turning frame, tracing 
up and over her well-formed breasts, then up to gaze into her large eyes.

"Ranma, maybe we should get up now?" she asked, smiling at him, not having 
missed how he had watched her. She slid a hand onto his chest, enjoying 
touching the firm, taut skin and his flat muscles. She loved his well-toned 
physique, knowing his body intimately.

He ran a hand slowly up her arm, his fingertips moving ever so gently over 
her skin, causing her to tingle at his touch, "Must we, love?"

Akane moved her body, pressing down until she lay against Ranma. She smiled 
and kissed his lips softly as her breasts pressed against his chest. She 
whispered, "Not if you can think of something better to do..."

Ranma wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly. He felt himself start 
to harden just from her nearness. Her nipples were already hard, as he kissed 
her deeply, his lips parting to whisper, "I'm sure we can think of 
something..."

[Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya]

Ukyou was cooking okonomiyaki while Ryouga waited on tables...when he could 
find them. But over the last year or so, he had gotten an idea of the layout 
of Ucchan's, so he didn't get lost on the way to a table, so often. Trying to 
serve okonomiyaki in the bathroom didn't go down well with the customers.

Konatsu entered, followed quickly, and shyly, by Akari, both of them looking 
like they would rather not be there, "Anou... Ukyou-sama."

Ukyou looked up, as did Ryouga, "K-konatsu. Where have you been? I haven't 
seen you since..." She stopped.

"A...akari-chan..." Ryouga murmured. He had thought about her occasionally, 
but never done more than that. Now that she was here, he wondered what on 
earth to do. <How do I tell her about Ukyou and myself?>

But he didn't get a chance to say anything. "Thank you for looking after me, 
Ukyou-sama. I hope Ryouga-san is looking after you better than I could have. 
I'm just here to tell you that Akari-chan and I will be getting married soon.
I thought you should know," said Konatsu, bowing his head.

"Married?" Ryouga asked, utterly stunned.

Akari nodded, then smiled at Ryouga, "Please take care of Ukyou-san." She took 
hold of Konatsu's hand, "And you are both invited to our wedding."

Ukyou smiled softly, <I'm glad they found each other...> "Thanks. Please come 
to ours, if you want."

Konatsu nodded, then turned, taking Akari with him. "See you later!" They left 
the restaurant, hopping back onto Katsu-nishiki.

After they had gone, Ryouga sighed, "I didn't want to hurt her, you know. I 
used to love her..."

Ukyou nodded and squeezed Ryouga's hand in hers, "I know, Ryouga, but it's in 
the past now. They are happy together." She kissed his forehead lightly, "And
so are we."

He nodded slowly, then squeezed her hand back. Just then, a puppy tumbled down 
from the hallway, into the restaurant. It barked playfully at them, looking 
very cute. Ryouga smiled, having been struck by an idea, "Maybe she'll forgive 
me if I give her a puppy..."

"I don't think she ever really blamed you, Ryouga." Ukyou said softly, gazing 
at him. <Oh, Ryouga-kun. You're too sweet for your own good.>

He gave her a half-smile, a fang showing, "Thanks Ukyou-chan..." He softly 
stroked the little puppy as he picked it up, moving closer to Ukyou. She 
smiled, slipping an arm around him.

[The Tendou-ke, Late Afternoon]

"We're going out for dinner now. Last chance! Are you sure you two aren't 
coming?" Nabiki called to Souun and Genma.

"Not tonight, we're playing," Souun called, not noticing Genma moving pieces.

Nabiki shrugged, then nodded, "Let's go then."

She, Kasumi, Toufuu-sensei, and Nodoka, carrying Miyabi, started off for 
Ucchan's, each holding an umbrella for the rain.

[Akane & Ranma's Room]

Ranma and Akane snuggled together in bed for a while. Ranma ran a hand lightly 
up and down Akane's back, "Mmmm... We haven't had a day alone together like 
that for a while."

Akane nodded, "It's been so long since then... But I do sort of miss Miyabi 
crawling into the futon to wake us."

Ranma laughed softly, "You know, so do I. But I'm sure ofukuro's taking good 
care of her."

Akane smiled, "She really loves being a grandmother." Then she giggled, "I 
wonder how your father'll cope with Miya-chan when she sees him as a panda?"

Ranma laughed, imagining little hand marks all over his father's panda form, 
with Miyabi curled up asleep in his lap, exhausted from too much clambering 
and hugging him. "I'm sure he'll be happy, no matter how much he complains."

Akane giggled, then kissed Ranma's ear, "Let's get dressed and go out for 
dinner. We haven't eaten all day."

Ranma smirked, "Nothing apart from each other, you mean."

Akane giggled again and poked him lightly in the ribs, "Ecchi." She sat up, 
Ranma following suit, still grinning.

[Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya]

Ukyou smiled as the Tendou girls, Toufuu Ono, and Nodoka and Miyabi Saotome 
entered. "Welcome! Take a seat somewhere."

They sat down at a table, Kasumi holding the little girl on her lap. "Mama? 
Papa? Where?" she asked, like she'd been asking on and off all day.

Kasumi smiled at her, "You'll see them soon, Miya-chan."

As Ukyou took orders, Ryouga came out from the kitchen, smiling. He saw the 
group, and Miyabi. <Maybe I can hold her again?> he wondered, and walked 
towards them... and tripped over a bucket of water. He blinked and squealed, 
turning to the group. <Arrgh! Why me?>

Ukyou picked him up, then set him down on the table in front of Miyabi. "Hora, 
it's a kawaii piglet!" <I don't think anyone saw him change...>

Miyabi cooed and clapped her little hands, starting to chatter away to P-chan 
in baby talk.

"Isn't that...?" Nabiki trailed off as Ukyou nodded. "Oh. No wonder P-chan was 
never around after Akane's wedding."

P-chan stared at Nabiki. <She knows? Arrgh, I'm going to get blackmailed, or 
she'll tell Akane who 'P-chan' really is! I'm going to die!>  Suddenly, his 
train of thought was cut off as he was glomped by Miyabi.

Miyabi gurgled happily, snuggling the little pig.

At that moment, a female Ranma and Akane entered Ucchan's, "Ucchan, can we 
have something to eat?" Akane put down her umbrella.

"Oh Ranma, Akane. Come and join us!" called Toufuu, smiling. 

Everyone moved over as the couple came over and sat next to Nodoka.

"Miya-chan!" Akane smiled happily at Miyabi, held by Kasumi, "Oh, and P-chan! 
Where have you been, all this time?"

Miyabi cooed happily, "Papa! Mama!" while still holding P-chan.

Both Ranma and Ryouga acked. <Damn, Akane can't find out who P-chan really 
is!>

It was Ukyou who saved them, "Ryouga's dog found him and brought him here, 
Akane-chan. I don't think it's your pet, but I gave this one the same collar 
and name as him, in honour of your little piglet..."

Akane blinked, then nodded slowly, "I guess you're right. My P-chan wouldn't 
turn up after all this time..."

Ranma quietly hugged Akane, but smiled at Miyabi, "How's my little girl?"

As Miyabi called out, "Papa!" Kasumi smiled, "She even knows you as her daddy 
in your cursed form!"

"She's quite smart, my granddaughter," Nodoka smiled.

Miyabi planted a baby kiss on P-chan's snout as she hugged him, "Pii, Pii!" 
she cooed, not quite able to pronounce 'P-chan'.

Ryouga froze and stared at the little child.

<Now he's trying to get to my daughter. Feh!> thought Ranma.

Ukyou just giggled, along with the rest.

[Unryuu Residence, Akari's Room]

Akari and Konatsu entered Akari's room after feeding the pigs. Akari sat down 
on her bed, sighing, "I haven't slept in this room in such a long time..."

Konatsu nodded, sitting next to her, "It was a long time ago, wasn't it?" He 
took down his hair, brushing it out. He hummed softly, smiling at Akari, "But 
we're here now."

Akari smiled back and nodded. She pulled out a silken nightie from the drawers 
near her bed, setting it down beside her. It had a picture of a cute pig 
embroidered onto it. She pulled off her top and folded it, placing it on the 
floor, by her feet. "I'm glad to be home... Do you think you could call this 
place your home, too?"

Konatsu smiled happily, looking every inch the bishonen he was, "It would be 
the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to me, if I was to live with 
you."

She giggled softly, blushing, "Oh, Kenzan-chan..."

He hugged her, still smiling happily, then took off his ninja top, placing it 
next to Akari's jumper. He looked rather strange, but attractive, to Akari. 
His long black hair flowed down, around his face, shoulders, and back... his 
lips smiling, shaded a deep red... his large eyes set in his delicate 
features... the face of a woman... and the body of a firmly flat-muscled man, 
with a lean, willowy build.

Konatsu watched Akari gaze at his body, and reached out with his hand to take 
hers, drawing it gently to his bare chest, "Akari-chan..."

She smiled up at him as he rested her hand on hers. They leaned together,
moving closer to the other, until their lips sweetly touched in a tender
kiss...

As they kissed, Akari's arms slid around him, enjoying how his smooth, naked
chest felt against her lingery clad torso. Her hands stroked his lithe,
delicate form, stroking over his flat muscles... enjoying touching him. His
hands stroked her skin lightly, with a fingertip, through her silken teddy.

As they held each other, kissing, they slowly explored each other's bodies
with their delicate hands... running their palms over each other's slim
forms... through each other's long hair... their large eyes gazing into the
other's feminine face...

Before long, both of them were naked... The bishoujou and the bishounen...
They had explored each other before, on their journey... But they were both
rather innocent and shy. But, coming back to Nerima, their engagement...
something had changed them a little...

Akari lay on her side, facing her iinazuke. She ran her fingertip down his
side, slowly feeling the gentle curves of his small form. Konatsu, in turn,
ran his palm from her neck, down over her breasts... both just enjoying
touching the other...

They moved closer together, their bodies touching... her breasts against his
chest... her hips to his... his gently throbbing manhood pressing against
her skin proving beyond doubt that he was a man, no matter how he looked.

Akari moved even closer to his body, lifting her knee to rest her leg aginst
his wide hips... her hand resting on his small waist... feeling his warm
body so close to her...

He gazed deeply into her eyes, his arms holding her close to him... His
eyes searching... "Akari-chan...?"

She kissed his lips softly... "Hai, Kanzen-chan..." She nodded slightly.

He squeezed her close, and pulled her against him, rolling onto his back...
Then took her hips, and guided her downwards... until the tip of his
length pressed up against her damp, pink womanhood.

Akari gazed down at him, unable to do more than wriggle against him...

Konatsu stared up into her face... then, taking one of her small, delicate
hands, gently placed it against his length, sending a spark of pleasure
shooting through him. He moaned just a little... "Hold me like that,
Akari-chan... Then push down against me..."

She nodded, just holding him lightly. She pushed down, gasping softly as his
body arched, pushing up to her... She lowered herself against him, feeling
the head of his hardness pushing at and around her opening as she moved
down against him, guided by his hips, trying to find the right place...

After a moment, the tip of his manhood pushed against her clit, a cry of
pleasure coming from her lips. Konatsu and Akari moved again, pushing to
the other... several times, each time missing their goal...

Then, suddenly, Akari bit her lip, holding back a cry as Konatsu slipped a
little way into her soft, wet opening... They stayed like that for a while,
both looking at the other... Their faces flushed, their eyes bright...

"Ready, Akari-chan...?"

She nodded... and Konatsu pulled her hips gently down towards his... her hand
moving to his chest.

Konatsu, all his life lived as a woman, suddenly felt what it was like to be
a man, making love to his beloved... He gulped back a sweet, soft cry from
his pretty lips, feeling how her tight, virgin walls surrounded him... Her
velvet-like womanhood rubbing against his mokkori length as he slid up into
her sweet body...

Akari's mind reeled with the new sensations, feeling her love parting her
with himself... the sensation of him rubbing against her sensitive, inner
skin sending pleasure through her... Then she suddered, jumping back as the
tip of his manhood touched her barrier...

"Aah! Kenzan-chan!"

He blinked up at her, "Akari-chan? Daijoubu?" his pretty face showing his
concern for her.

"Itai yo..."

He frowned cutely, and took her into his arms... "The kunoichi scroll of the
body said something like that... Maybe I can use a little ninja magic to
stop the pain...?"

She nodded slowly, holding onto him tightly...

Konatsu clasped his hands together in one of the macical positions of power,
whispering something. Then he reached down and tapped a point on each of her
hands, lightly. "Saa... That will ease the pain when I break through that
veil inside you, Akari-chan..." He blushed a little, saying such things.

Akari blushed, too, but nodded... and soon moved back up, straddling him once
more.

This time, Konatsu entered her body gently, only fumbling a little as they
tried to find her opening... As she slid down, he pushed up... and tore
through her virgin barrier with ease... Then, once he was in her, he stopped.
Determined not to show his pleasure while she was desensitised, he quickly
tapped her hands lightly again... and slid back a little, before pushing
into her...

This time they both cried out in pleasure, their bodies joining as one...
Akari's sweet face was filled with a pleasure matching Konatsu's, both
flushed... They started to move as one, Konatsu gently rocking under Akari,
watching her face, watching her pink-streaked brown hair swaying as they
made love... Akari watching him...

They moved, rocking together... Konatsu filling her, over and over... her
velvety walls encasing his length with her warm honey as she rode him...
Both tenderly stroking the other's torso as they rocked... loving the new
feelings... loving each other... wanting only happiness for each other...

Soon, the motions and tightenings of Akari's sex around him, brought Konatsu
to his climax... failing to control his needs, he suddenly started to come
into her body, his seed filling her... he pushed up his hips, still rocking
even as he came, needing her to feel the amazing pleasure that flowed through
his body... "A..akariiiiiii!!!"

Feeling his hot seed washing through her, feeling his still moving body under
and inside her, Akari, too, was pushed to the edge. She groand, as wave
after wave of pleasure assailed her, an orgasm flowing through her... She
called out his name as she came... "Kenzaaaaaaan!!"

The two feminine lovers felt the pleasure flowing through both of them,
like the love they felt for the other... they stayed, linked together till
the feelings died... then Akari collapsed against Konatsu, before slowly
rolling off his body...

As they parted, quiet moans escaped their lips, but they moved together to
hold each other, snuggling close in each other's warmth... Drifting into a
half sleep, whispering words of love.

[Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya]

Kasumi looked at the time, "Oh, I must buy some sugar before the shop shuts. 
Please excuse me."

Doctor Toufuu stood up, "I'll walk you, Kasumi." He helped her up, "I'll see 
you all later. Akane, please try to make sure I don't see Ranma in my office 
again, too soon."

Akane giggled as the female Ranma scowled.

Kasumi smiled, handing Miyabi to Ranma, then waved goodbye and left with 
Toufuu.

Ranma kissed Miyabi's head, then stuck her tongue out at P-chan, who was still 
in Miyabi's arms. Miyabi cooed and reached for Ranma's red pigtail, cooing, 
"Papa!"

"Nabiki Tendou, I am here for you, my goddess!" called a voice from outside 
Ucchan's.

Nabiki smiled, "Ah, he's right on time."

Tatewaki Kunou entered the restaurant, his eyes searching the room, his brain
still in neutral.

"Over here, Tacchi!" Nabiki called, waving.

"Ah, there you are, fair maiden." Then he spied the female Ranma, "Oh, 
pig-tailed goddess! And... a child? No! Don't tell me that the lecherous Ranma 
Saotome has caused one such as yourself to have his child!? Isn't he 
satisfied with one child by one woman!?"

Nabiki rolled her eyes while Akane and Ranma sighed, dispondantly. Miyabi 
tugged happily at her father's hair. Ukyou shook her head and Nodoka blinked, 
"What a strange boy."

"Anou, Sempai... That's my daughter," Akane said flatly.

Kunou blinked, "Are you sure?"

Akane nodded, "Quite sure."

Kunou laughed, "Wahahahahahaha! I may not have to kill that lecherous cur, 
after all!"

Ranma slammed a stool into Kunou's face, knocking him to the floor and 
destroying the chair, "Usee, bakayarou."

Nabiki knelt next to Kunou, "Hmmm. Out cold. Poor Kunou-chan." She sat his 
unconscious form at the table and sat next to him.

"Are you sure you want to marry that moron?" Ranma asked.

"Could he possibly be worse than you, Ranma?" Nabiki replied, then smiled 
tenderly at her comatose iinazuke.

Ranma grumbled and stomped over to sit next to Akane, still holding their 
daughter. Akane giggled, watching Miyabi playing with P-chan in her 
husband's lap.

[Unryuu Residence, Akari's Room]

Akari yawned a little snuggling against Konatsu. "Mmmm... I'm so happy..."

Konatsu smiled, his long hair spilling over the pillow, contrasting with 
Akari's lighter colored hair, trailing over her lover's skin. He stroked her 
hair gently, picking up and twirling her two pink locks occasionally.

She kissed his neck lightly. "I'm a little hungry, though..."

He nodded, "Let's go to Ucchan's... Maybe the others will be there so we can
tell them about our wedding?" 

She smiled happily, sitting up, "Un. Let's go!"

[Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya]

Akane was holding her daughter who was starting to get sleepy. Kunou had sat 
himself between Ranma-chan and Nabiki, and was trying to hold them both...
unsuccessfully. Nabiki didn't mind, but Ranma kept thumping him. Nodoka sat 
there wondering if she should take her granddaughter with her, and put her to
bed, while Ukyou wiped down the counter. Ryouga, having escaped as P-chan, 
came down from the bathroom, his hair still damp.

The door opened and Akari and Konatsu walked in. They were both smiling 
happily, almost bouncing as they walked. "Ukyou-sama, minna! Hi!" called 
Konatsu.

Akari beamed, "I'm so happy! Kenzan-chan and I are to be married!"

"Hmm?" Ranma looked up, backhanding Kunou in the face again as he tried to 
grab her. "Married?" she asked.

Akari and Konatsu nodded cutely in unison.

Akane smiled, "Oh, congratulations. Where have you two been, anyway? You 
missed our wedding."

Akari looked down and blushed a little, "Gomen nasai... Grandfather was 
sick... And then Kenzan-chan and I went on a trip..."  

Konatsu nodded, then looked at the child, "Kawaii! Who is the kawaii baby?"

Akane smiled, "This is Miyabi, our daughter." She turned and smiled lovingly
at Ranma-chan. The statement serving to thoroughly confuse Kunou.

Akari's eyes went wide, "You had a baby?!"

Ranma nodded, smiling back at her wife, "Miyabi is our baby." She reached 
down and played with Miyabi, letting the little girl grab her fingers. A wisp
of smoke came out of Kunou's ears as his brain overloaded.

Ryouga smiled softly, "She is such a wonderful little thing... Thank goodness 
she doesn't take after her father!"

Ranma grinned evilly. "Is that so, Pii, Pii?!"

"Usee, Ranma-yarou!" Ryouga growled, glaring at Ranma.

"Stop it! Both of you!" Akane glared at them both, "Why can't you get along?!"

Ranma muttered something unintelligible at the floor, while Ryouga turned, 
shamefacedly, to the window.

Miyabi gave a cute yawn and looked over at Ryouga, "Unca," she gurgled.

Ryouga started blushing and Ukyou giggled, "I think my iinazuke is falling for
little Miyabi. I'm getting jealous!"

Akane giggled and kissed Miyabi's nose lightly, then looked up at Akari and
Konatsu. "Would you two like to hold her? She'll need some sleep soon, 
though."

Konatsu and Akari nodded eagerly, and Akane carefully handed her daughter to 
Akari. They played with her for a while, enjoying being with such a cute, 
happy little child.

Nodoka got up and smiled, "I am so happy to see that you've been raising such 
a strong healthy little girl. Even Genma loves her, you know. He even likes
being a panda for her to hug." she said conspiritorially.

"Oyaji? Like that? No way!" Ranma laughed, "I thought he'd be selling her down
at the sushi bar at the first opportunity!"

Nodoka shook her head, "Not his precious little granddaughter... But maybe the 
threat of chopping him into panda teppenyaki, dissuaded him..."

Akane and Ukyou laughed while Ranma-chan muttered something about stupid 
fathers. Kunou looked on with a blank expression, the ability of his mind to 
comprehend having been utterly defeated. Nabiki snuggled against him, watching 
with amusement. Ryouga moved to stand with Ukyou, wondering what his children 
would look like.

After a while, Ranma-chan took Miyabi and nursed her to sleep.

"Oh! How my osage no onna suits the role of motherhood! I shall let both her 
and my dearest Nabiki bear my children! Hahahahahaha!"

Ranma-chan shivered and looked nauseous, while Nabiki belted Kunou over the 
head with Ukyou's fighting spatula. "Oh no, you don't, Kunou-chan!"

Kunou rubbed his head, "That hurt, you know."

Nabiki smiled sweetly, "It'll hurt a lot more if you try to give Ranma your 
children!"

Kunou frowned, wonder what on earth he'd done wrong. Nabiki sighed, <Maybe I
should show you who your 'osage no onna' really is... But, then... This is 
fun... And I can still sell photos...>

Ranma handed her sleeping daughter to her mother, "Ofukuro, take care of her."
She smiled softly and Akane took her arms, leaning down to kiss her daughter
goodnight. Soon, Nodoka left with Miyabi, leaving everyone else to talk about
future weddings.

[The Roof of Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya]

A shrunken, deformed creature listened to the conversation inside the 
restaurant. It watched as Shampoo and Mousse joined the group inside after a 
while. It sat, listening intently.

[Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya]

"Hmm? A combined wedding?" Ukyou asked, looking at Nabiki, who nodded. 
Shampoo nodded in agreement, "Aiya! Then all friends get married together, 
and we no need to fight about who is head bridesmaid."

"And I shall take both my beautiful goddess of wealth and my osage no onna at
once! Hahaha!"

*WHACK!!!!!*

This time, both Ranma-chan and Nabiki KO'ed him with chairs.

"When would this 'combined wedding' be?" Mousse wondered aloud, polishing his 
glasses.

Nabiki thought for a while, rifling through her iinazuke's wallet. <Hmm... I'd
only need about ten thousand more yen for the dress with this...> She looked 
up, pocketing the money. "How about in two weeks?" 

"You think everything could be ready in time?" Akari asked, her eyes shining.

Nabiki nodded, "A few people owe me some favours...and Tacchi will provide the 
wedding hall and banquet. I can take care of the decorations... Hmm... And
the minister from Ranma and Akane's wedding still owes me... So, all you need 
to worry about are wedding clothes."

Akane sat, watching Nabiki, <Maybe all the excitement of this wedding is 
changing Nabiki... She's being extremely generous,> she thought.

Ranma slid his arm around his wife, holding her gently against his female 
body. "Ummm, maybe Kasumi and Toufuu-sensei would want to get married then, 
too?"

Ryouga nodded and then smiled at Ukyou, "That will be a wonderful day." She 
nodded back and took his hands in hers.

Akane smiled, "Toufuu-sensei was just taking Kasumi-oneechan out on a date to 
propose to her. So, if you see him, you can suggest it, Nabiki-oneechan."

Nabiki nodded, snuggling up to Kunou, who was begining to come around.

The wedding planning continued late into the night...

[The Roof of Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya]

The figure mumbled to itself in the darkness, and turned and leapt off the 
building. It then jumped from roof to roof, moving rapidly away from the 
restaurant.

[Akane & Ranma's Room, Morning]

Ranma held onto his wife, who was still sleeping. He smiled, gazing at her. 
"Oh, Akane," he whispered, "I hope the others are as happy as we are, after 
their weddings." He gently stroked her short dark hair as he stared into 
space, daydreaming.

[Somewhere, In A Dark Cave]

Someone...or something...sat in a shadowy corner, plotting. 

[The Tendou Doujou, Evening]

Akane and Ranma turned up to collect their daughter. At the door, Kasumi 
intercepted them, smiling happily, "Akane-chan, Ranma-kun. Toufuu asked me to 
marry him!" 

Akane hugged her elder sister, while Ranma stood nearby, smiling, "Did you
say yes? Congratulations!" 

"And, we've decided to be married at the large wedding ceremony. Of course 
otousan is in the living room crying. Poor otousan, he will have lost his two 
remaining daughters in one day. You and Ranma-kun will have to move back in 
here..."

Both Ranma and Akane nodded, glad to have finished their courses, but a little 
reluctant to be moving into the family home again. Their privacy would vanish 
and they would have to get back into the doujou training regime again, but it 
would be good for their daughter. When she was a little older, they could 
begin teaching her.

"Let's go get Miya-chan, then think about moving back when our term at the 
university halls runs out." Akane said mildly.

Kasumi smiled, leading them to the living room, where Nodoka sat playing with
Miyabi, who was bouncing on Genma-panda's stomach. Souun was wailing at the
loss of his daughters.

It was at that moment that Ryouga stumbled into the room, "Ittai koko wa doko
da-"

*SPLOOSH!*

A small, cute, black piglet splashed helplessly around in Kasumi's mop bucket.

Akane blinked, "Was that Ryouga-kun?"

Ranma hmmed to himself and looked away.

"No, just that cute piglet from Ucchan's," said Kasumi, pointing to the 
bucket.

Miyabi crawled off Genma-panda, who made 'apou' sounds at her, trying to call
her back. She continued on, however, heading to the bucket, where she picked
up P-chan. "Unca Pii, Pii," she cooed.

P-chan blinked. <Great. Now I'm Uncle Pii Pii,> he thought, somewhat 
depressed, and gave a piggy sigh.

Miyabi cooed happily, snuggling him as Ranma tried not to laugh out loud.

[Nerima Ginza, A Few Days Later]

Ukyou stared through the window at the stunning wedding dress. The torso was
of fine silk, cut with a low sweetheart decollatage. Sequins were sewn into
the material, leading down from the top, down the front of the long skirt.
The skirt, flowing down to the floor, was of smooth silk all around, apart
from the squins that depicted a knot pattern. The sleeves were puffed at the
shoulder, then closely followed the line of the arm to the wrist. A small,
matching veil on a white silk hat completed the outfit.

<Oh, that's the dress I want!> Ukyou thought to herself, moving to the door of 
the bridal boutique.

She was stopped short as something bounded onto her head, then into the shop.
"Aiya! Shampoo's wedding dress!"

Ukyou looked up from the pavement and growled, "Shampoo-yarou! That's *my*
wedding dress!" She staggered to her feet, drawing her spatula, and followed
Shampoo into the shop.

Shampoo was already asking the attendant for the dress when Ukyou stormed
into the shop. "That's MY dress!" 

Shampoo turned around, in a defensive posture, "Shampoo get dress. Shampoo
asked for dress before slow Ukyou!" The attendant gawked at the two girls,
her mouth hanging open.

Ukyou started to rush Shampoo when the side wall of the shop was smashed
in by Katsu-nishiki, carrying Akari on his back. "Oh, that dress in the
window is so pretty!" The attendant's eyes nearly popped out of her head.

"It's mine!" Ukyou and Shampoo called simultaneously.

Akari was too intent on the beautiful dress that she did not hear them. She
urged Katsu-nishiki to the counter, "Oh, please get out that dress. I'd like
to try it on!" She pointed out the dress in the window.

Both Shampoo and Ukyou ran to the window and grabbed the dress, "No! It's
mine!" Akari blinked down at them.

As Ukyou tugged the dress to her, Shampoo glared, tugging back. "That dress
belong to me!" Ukyou glared back. "Wanna bet?!"

Shampoo shook her head, "Shampoo ask for dress first!" The attendant, her
eyes wide, didn't know what to do.

Akari jumped off her giant sumo pig. "Stop! Be careful! You'll rip the 
dress..."

Ukyou ignored Akari and yanked the dress from Shampoo's grip. Shampoo pulled
out her bonbori, "Give Shampoo's dress back!"

"Never! I'll marry Ryouga-kun in this dress!" Ukyou threw it to the attendant
as she swung her giant spatula at Shampoo, yelling "I'll pay for my dress,
now!"

"No! Is Shampoo's dress!" Shampoo blocked the spatula with a bonbori,
swinging the other at Ukyou.

Ukyou dodged, throwing her small, sharpened spatulas towards Shampoo, "Keep
away from my dress!"

Shampoo deflected the small spatulas, spinning them out of control around
the room... one flow towards Akari... only to be grabbed out of the air by
Konatsu, who has just appeared in a cloud of smoke. "I want that dress!"

Everyone face-faulted.

Konatsu took his chance and grabbed the dress, "Akari-chan, I have the dress
for you! I'm sorry, Ukyou-sama..."

"Kisama..." Ukyou regained her footing, "It's *my* dress!"

Shampoo jumped up, then lept at Konatsu, aiming her bonbori for his head.
He blocked, but the dress was still in his hands. The bonbori hit the
crumpled dress, "Aiya! Shampoo no mean to hit dress!"

Akari reached for the corner of the dress, "It'll be destroyed..."

"Oh no, you don't!" Ukyou threw her small spatulas at Akari's hand as Shampoo
grabbed an arm of the dress...

The spatula sliced through the skirt, leaving Akari only holding a piece
of white silk. Shampoo tugged, but Konatsu's grip was too tight. She fell
back with a surprised yelp, holding the torn sleeve of the dress. Konatsu
held onto the remnants of the ripped, crumpled silk. Ukyou stared at the
carnage.

At that moment, Kasumi and Nabiki walked in through the giant hole in the
wall. Kasumi blinked, "Oh, my."

Nabiki raised an eyebrow, "If we had have been here earlier, we could have
joined in the fun, oneechan. What were you girls playing? 'Shred the
Dress'?"

The girls and Konatsu stared down at the floor, each of them burning with
shame.

Kasumi smiled, "Well, as long as someone pays for this dress, everything will
be alright. How much was the dress?"

The attendant gulped a little, not used to all the fighting, "900,000 yen."

The fighters face-faulted, their hands in the Takahashi Pain Posture,
"Ex-pen-sive..."

[The Bridal Boutique, A Little Later]

Nabiki paid for the dress, having put the others up for loans at outrageous
interest rates. The girls sheepishly searched around the shop for another
dress...

[The Kunou Mansion, A Guest Room]

The girls stood around, gazing at the wedding outfits and parphenalia, nervous
on the night before the wedding. Shampoo had finally chosen a Chinese-style 
wedding outfit, made of white and yellow silks. Akari had picked a white
Japanese wedding kimono with small piglet designs stitched into the silk with
gold and silver thread. Nabiki had a very expensive and sexy western wedding
dress made from pure silk, pearls and tiny diamonds studded into the fabric.
After the wedding dress had been destroyed in the fight, Ukyou had considered
wearing a tuxedo or a montsuki and hakama, but had settled on a pretty, white
silk Western dress, similar to Nabiki's, but not as flashy. Kasumi had a
beautiful, traditional wedding kimono of white and red silk. Each of the new
outfits suited the girls perfectly.

Nodoka and Akane helped with the wedding clothes, setting them out for the
next day. Kodachi, Genma and Souun were in the ballroom, looking after Miyabi
and setting up the decorations for the wedding. Tatewaki, Ryouga, Mousse, 
Konatsu and Dr.Toufuu were with Mikado and Ranma in another guest room.

Mousse had a formal Chinese wedding garment, seemingly made from deeply
coloured silks. Nabiki had talked Kunou into wearing a western tuxedo to match
her dress, otherwise he'd have been in an expensive montsuki and hakama,
complete with daisho! Ryouga looked at his montsuki and hakama of dark navy
blue, wondering if he would have to take off his bandannas. Konatsu's outfit
was a black tuxedo, fitted to his slim, feminine form. The way it sat on him,
he still looked like a woman - the perfect bishonen in his tux. Toufuu's
outfit consisted of a montsuki and hakama of black silk to match Kasumi's
wedding kimono. Each of the men looked extra handsome (or beautiful, as the
case may be) in their wedding outfits.

Eventually the wedding preparations were complete...

[The Kunou Mansion, The Front Door]

A tall man, dressed completely in a white outfit of a blazer-like top and
slacks, and a young woman in expensive looking kimono knocked at the door.
The man's hand rested on the hilt of his katana, the other hand brushed back
the two unruly locks of his black hair. His eyes shone from behind the small,
Zorro-like mask he was wearing. The girl's long dark hair was half pulled 
back, and it flowed down to her waist. She, too, was wearing a similar mask.
Both waited for the door to be opened.

[The Kunou's Backyard]

A figure seemed to crouch in the shadows as it gave a maniacal laugh. The
laugh was promptly cut short as Midorigame-kun, Kodachi's pet alligator,
went for the figure.

A few moments later, the unconscious alligator lay on it's back on the lawn,
while the figure disappeared into the night.

[The Kunou Mansion]

Kodachi came to the door and let the masked couple in. "Ah, it's so good
that you have joined us. Please follow me."

The white-clad man and the woman both nodded, and followed Kodachi into
the house. She led them to the guest rooms, stopping by the door where
the men were. "You shall find the grooms-to-be in this room."

The girl smiled behind the mask, then entered the room, followed by two men
covered from head to toe in black, who had suddenly appeared.

Kodachi then led the man to the girl's room, "And here we are." She opened
the door, taking the man into the room.

[The Kunou Mansion, The Guy's Guest Room]

Mikado looked up and smiled at the girl and her black-clothed entourage.
"Welcome, miss."

Ranma looked at Mikado, raising an eyebrow. Mikado just grinned at Ranma.
The others looked thoroughly confused.

Mikado took out a large bottle of pre-heated sake, and enough cups to go
around. He poured out the sake while looking at the girl. She inclined her
head, then guestured to her two men. One brought out two rectangular pieces
of wood, fastened together by a small rope. He clicked them together twice, 
giving out two soft, ringing sounds.

The girl struck up a pose.

[The Kunou Mansion, The Girl's Guest Room]

As the man and Kodachi entered the room, Nodoka stood up. "Excuse me, but I
should go and help my husband. She left the room, giving a backwards glance
at the handsome, masked man.

Kodachi seated herself on the bed, "Please make yourself comfortable, girls.
We have a little entertainment for you, tonight..." She smirked at the man
who nodded at her, flashing a smile at the assembled young women.

[The Kunou Mansion, The Guy's Guest Room]

The masked girl slowly lowered her arms, moving in slow, measured motions.
She stepped around, turning in a small circle, her hands seeming to flow
around her as she stared to dance. Her dark eyes shon from behind the mask,
watching the men in the room...

She gracefully swayed her way over to Mikado, in her slow, measured step,
and took his hand. She turned around, her back facing him. "Saa... Undo
my obi, if you please."

With deft hands, Mikado undid the intricate obi from behind... And the girl
spun away from him, still moving in that gentle motion. Her long obi was
unravelled as she moves away from him, leaving him holding all the materials
that went to create the kimono's belt.

Ryouga and Konatsu stared at her with curious shock. Ranma, blushing, tried
to avert his face. Mousse blinked through his glasses, watching her turn.
The doctor looked a little nervous, but smilied a little, and drank his sake.
Kunou gazed at her, seeming to take this all in his stride.  Mikado, taking 
the obi, smiled, watching her closely...

She twirled to a stop in the center of the room, letting the smooth, silky
fabric of her outer kimono slip from her body... Flashes of skin from her
inner kimono as it was slightly displaced by the falling silk were displayed
for mere seconds, until the bright, outer kimono hit the floor behind her.

Holding her inner kimono close around her, she started to dance slowly around
the room, close to the men. Teasing them as she moved, her legs revealed
from the opening in the kimono as she walked, hidden behind the silk again
as she stopped. Her hands slipped down to her stomach, the top of the kimono
letting her curvacious clevage be revealed. Her smooth, pearly skin vibrant
next to the silk.

Ryouga fainted at the sight of her parting decollatage, a fountain of blood
splurting out from his nose.

She stopped in front of Kunou, letting the folds of kimono at her breasts
fall open, bending slowly towards him...

Konatsu gulped, blushing furiously and thinking of Akari. Mousse's glasses
started to fog. Toufuu looked at her, a little curiously. Ranma continued
trying not to look, but his mind wandering on how Akane would be, doing that
dance for him...

Kunou, even through his thick skull, started to notice something unusual
happening. <I wonder if she's been taking lessons from Nabiki. Maybe this
girl will teach my osage no onna how to do this!> He suddenly laughed out
loud.

The girl, used to all sorts of strange reactions, continued on. She leaned
backwards, slowly, letting the kimono slip down her shoulders. A hand ran
lightly up from her stomach, working up over her skin, to the base of her
breasts... her other hand still holding the kimono partly closed. Her arched
back slowly straightened as she stood up, and she slid a hand lightly over
her breast, reading each reaction from her audience.

Mikado stared at her, enjoying the show, sipping his sake. Konatsu played at
his long hair, almost studying the girl. Mousse took off his foggged glasses
to try to see better, failing miserably.

The beautiful dancer span around once again, and opened the kimono... The
colouful, bright inner kimono contrasted with her smooth, creamy, naked 
body, displayed under the silk... her rounded breasts, tipped with pink
nipples, the fabric falling away from her breasts on either side... The
men's eyes were drawn down the edge of the silk, down over her stomach...
down to her sex, half covered by a fold in the kimono...

Ranma drew in a sharp gasp, desperatly wanting to be with his wife... and
not only to get out of the beating he knew he'd get for being in the same
room as a pretty, almost naked girl.

Mikado's eyes never left the girl... Konatu's mind went through all he knew
about such things, coming up with almost nothing, so he watched, wanting to
learn... Kunou started to blush.

She moved around again, the silk trailing on the floor behind her, the silk
half covering her modesty twitching back and forth... then she slid her arms
down her body, to her sides... and the kimono fell from her arms, drifting
to the floor.

With the exception of the fainted Ryouga, not one man wasn't thinking of
their beloved, whether they were turned on or not.

Then she started to dance, her movements slow, sensual, provocative... Her
hair flowed behind her, eye still tied back. Her hips swayed as she ran her
hands lightly over her smooth skin, her body dancing in steamy motions...
Then, with a sudden flick of her hands, she stopped all motion... and the
black clad men chimed their sticks...

She bowed, the black clad ones taking up her clothing, and redressing her.
"Arigatou gozaimashita," she whispered, then all three of them disappeared
out the door.

[The Kunou Mansion, The Girl's Guest Room]

The man stood, bowing to the girls. "My dear ladies, I shall do my best to
entertain you."

The room filled with soft music, a strong beat reverberating through the
room. He started swaing to the music, his strong body seeming to strain
at the fabric of his white outfit. As he moved, he reached up, and his
hands started to undo his blazer top...

Ukyou whistled beneath her breath, watching the guy. Akari and Kasumi both
blushed as his bare chest started to show, beneath the top, but watched
curiously. Nabiki and Kodachi both grinned, staring while Akane blushed,
chewing her bottom lip...

As the tempo increased, the man shrugged out of his blazer, dropping it to
the side. He danced sensually to the music, his muscles rippling as he
turned, showing off his body.

He flashed a smile at the women, and started turning around, before them.
His whole body danced as if made for dancing, his hips grinding as the
music required... Then his hands deftly undid his white pants... and kicked
them off, to Ukyou.

Ukyou caught them, giggling. Nabiki whistled at the dancer. All of the other
girls stared curiously, nervous but unable to take their eyes off of him.

His body was only clad in a small pair of bikini-style white briefs. He
lifted his arms behind his head, and concentraded on grinding his hips to
the music for a while, his body almost one with the sounds around the room.

As they watched, the girls not being able to help but stare... Ukyou's
thoughts turned to Ryouga, wishing he'd do something like this. Akari and
Kasumi watched with innocence... Akane blushed harder, wishing that the
guy was Ranma... Nabiki continued to watch, enjoying the show, wishing she
had of brought her camera. Kodachi smirked, glad that Mikado had helped
come up with the idea.

The man continued to dance, showing off his body to the assembled girls,
knowing exactly how to turn them on with each motion of his body. He span
around in a circle for a while, then stopped, facing them... slid his hands
to the waistband of his briefs... then flicked his wrists and they fell of.

As the girls stared down at his now naked body, he rocked to the music,
sensually, his hips swaying in a circular motion... And the music started
to die, his movements slowing...

He moved to a stop... flashed another smile, and silently re-dressed. Then
he slipped off, leaving the girls alone.

The girls all stared after them, even Nabiki and Kodachi were thinking of
their loves now...

[The Kunou Mansion, The Guy's Guest Room]

After the girl and her men had left, all of the men sat around, most of them
rather embarassed. Mikado just grinned and tried to wake up Ryouga, who had 
fainted. Toufuu-sensei had, surprisingly, managed to stay rather clinical
through the whole dance. Mousse's glasses were still fogged up. However, 
Konatsu was gawking after the girl, wondering if he could do that sort of 
thing for Akari. Kunou, on the other hand, was still blushing wondering what
had just happened. Ranma was blushing furiously, "If Akane found out..." he 
mumbled, "She'd..."

Mikado laughed, "Don't worry. Kodachi arranged a male stripper for the
girls!"

"WHAT?!"

[The Kunou Mansion, The Girl's Guest Room]

The girls, in the other room, gazed after the man as he left, giggling
amongst themselves, still thinking of their men doing that for them.

"Ooh, he was so sexy!" Ukyou tittered.

Kodachi laughed, "Only the best for the brides at my residence! Ohohohoho!"

Nabiki smirked, "That was the male half of the 'Dancing Twins', ne? I guess 
the other half was with the guys..."

Akane blinked, "Nani?! And Ranma was there?!"

Kasumi smiled at Akane, "Remember what you just saw, yourself, Akane."

Akane blushed and closed her mouth.

[The Kunou Mansion, Later That Night]

The brides and grooms-to-be settled down for the night in different guest
rooms. The others helping with the wedding went home, apart from Ranma and
Akane. As Mikado and Kodachi slipped off to their room, Akane and Ranma
wandered to a guest room, blushing as they looked at each other.

Sliding the door closed, Ranma gathered up his courage, "Ummm... Akane?"

Akane looked at him, "Ranma?"

"I didn't know... But Mikado... he, well.. he threw a real bachelor party
for the guys, and..." He coughed, looking even more embarrased, "There was
this girl there..."

"The other half of the 'Twins'..." Akane whispered. She took a breath, "And
Kodachi invited the guy for the girls..."

They both blushed and looked at each other. Ranma reached out to her and took
her hand, "I still think you are the most beautiful woman in the world..."

"And you are my wonderful, sexy Ranma..." Akane smiled softly up at him and
squeezed his hand, "I only want you."

Ranma smiled, relieved, "Let's get to bed, Akane..."

She nodded and they moved over to the bed, kissing deeply... both already
turned on. Before long, they were in bed, making love...

[The Kunou Mansion, A Guest Room, The Wedding Day]

All of the young brides-to-be were dressed in their finery, each one of them
looking radient. Akane, Kodachi and Nodoka were wearing powder blue matron
of honour dresses, carrying flowers. As the time grew nearer to the wedding,
their excitement increased.

The other room was filled with nervous grooms. Ranma and Mikado watched
procedures, trying to keep everyone under control as well as trying to keep
Ryouga from getting lost. Genma and Souun were in the ballroom, taking care
of the guests and making last minute preperations.

Before long, everyone...and everything, was ready...

[The Kunou Mansion, The Ballroom]

Ranma and Mikado, both looking extra handsome in their tuxedos, led the grooms
into the giant ballroom. The room itself was bedecked with white and deep pink
streamers and flowers. The room was filled with chairs for the many guests,
and there was a raised platform at the front of the room. A red carpet led
from the double doors up the aisle to the dais which the men strode down. 
Souun and Genma sat up the front. The minister stood on the dais, awaiting the 
brides. Wedding music wafted through the room from the giant pipe organ that 
was brought in for the occasion. Sasuke Sarugakure was playing the music. 
Even Kunou had not known he could play an organ, but he was surprisingly good 
at it for such a bad ninja!

The guests all sat, chatting and waiting for the brides. Among the many
guests that all the brides and grooms had known, as well as Ranma and Akane's
friends, sat Hikaru Gosunkugi, faded into the crowd as usual. Almost all
of the Joketsuzoku were there to see Mousse and Shampoo wed, including
Shampoo's father and RinRin and RanRan. The Jyusenkyou Guide and his daughter,
Plum, were there, having led Shampoo and Mousse's village friends to Japan.

Kin Ono, Toufuu's mother, was there, happily praying to her dead husband at
the giant shrine she always carried around. She was talking about the wedding
and how happy she was that her son was finally getting married. Azusa sat
near her with Tsubasa, both of them dressed in pretty, frilly pink dresses,
giggling in a much too kawaii manner.

Sentarou and Satsuki Daimonji had careened into the room on a run away horse,
only to be stopped short of running into the wall by their horse having an 
unfortunate encounter with the doujou destroyer. Obaasama and Sanae, the 
monkey, had followed the Daimonjis in, taking their place near their family.

Bakuchi Ou King was sitting at the back, trying to start up a game of cards
with the niku-man men who said they were there to see the wedding, not lose 
all their money playing children's card games. Kinnosuke was there, pondering
ways to take Bakuchi Ou King for every yen he's got, occasionally looking for
Nabiki, wondering who she was wrangling money off this time.

Both Picolette Chardin II and Madame Saint Paul sat near the front, waiting
for the banquet that would follow the ceremony. Pansuto Tarou sat, in human
form, glaring across at the pretty Rouge, who was also in her human form.

Even Lychee and Kirin were there, having followed everyone else from China.
Kirin was, of course, followed by his entourage of the Shishifuku Dojin -
Bishamonten, the twins Daikokusei and Daihakusei, the giant Muu, the pretty
Monron and Ebiten. Even Jasmin, Lychee's elephant, was there. Touma and his
animal men, the monkey, bird and dog, were there from their magical island,
Togenkyou, all of them gazing at the pretty women, wondering if they could
find brides here.

Nearby was Herb, the dragon leader of the Musk Dynasty, with the tiger boy,
Lime, and the wolf boy, Mint. Both Mint and Lime were both ogling the girls
in the room, mumbling to each other about breasts. Hinako, in her true, adult
form, was being ogled at the most. Even Shinnosuke and his grandfather had
taken time off from keeping the giant animals at Ryugenzawa under control
to come to the wedding, although Shinnosuke had forgotten why they were there.

Ukyou's father and Akari's grandfather sat up the front. Even Ryouga's family 
were there - his mother having finally made it back from shopping and his 
father had come back from the business trip that he left on five months ago. 
The family dog, Shirokuro, had led them to the wedding, and she and all of 
her family, including the kawaii new puppies, played at their feet.

As soon as Sasuke started playing the bridal march, everyone quietened down
to watch the brides' enterance. Nabiki slowly entered, walking down the aisle
at a slow, stately, measured pace. She was followed by Ukyou, then Shampoo,
Akari and Kasumi. The room was filled with soft gasps as the five beautiful
women walked down the aisle. Kodachi led them, scattering rose petals and
cherry blossoms before the brides' feet. The flowers settled on the carpeted
aisle, amazingly enough, they didn't paralyse the brides or make them fall
into a deep sleep. Akane and Nodoka followed behind the brides, carrying
boquets of flowers.

The five grooms stared with wonder at their brides-to-be as they walked over
the petal-covered carpet to the dais, as if in a dream.

The brides continued down the aisle to the dais, where both the minister and 
the grooms waited. They each gazed at their loves, their hearts aching...

Suddenly the ballroom doors burst open and the creature was there... It looked
around as it's shrunken body balanced on a walking stick. "I will not forgive 
you for defying me, Shampoo! Mousse is not your groom!" 

Shampoo swung around and gasped, "Hiibaa-chan!"

Cologne continued, "Happiness will never be yours, ungrateful child! 
Wahahahahahahahaha!!"

Everyone stared at the ghoul, muttering amongst themselves.

Mousse glared at the gatecrasher, "You and whose army will stop me from 
marrying Shampoo?!"

"I'm glad you asked, Mousse... Behold!"

Behind her appeared a group of people, still in the shadows. "This army, 
Mousse!"

"We stop Shampoo! Over!" two girls cried, leaping over Cologne's head into the
room.

A strange man laughed insanely as he stepped forward, strumming his ukelele.
He was dressed in a loud hawaiian shirt and lei, and had a palm tree growing 
on top of his head. His eyes glinted from behind his sunglasses as he drew a
pair of hair shears. "Stop!" he shouted in English. "You can't get married 
unless you all cut your hair!" he finished in Japanese.

A girl in a cheerleading outfit, weilding pompoms and a batton, stepped 
forwards, "Kunou-sama, you can't marry her! You have to be with me!"

Finally the last three uninvited guests entered the room in a puff of smoke.
"Come back and serve us, lazy Konatsu!" As the smoke cleared, the true horror 
of the three ugly creatures was revealed.

Cologne laughed dementedly, "I shall stop this wedding!"

Shampoo glared at her greatgrandmother. "How dare you?!" she yelled in 
Mandarin, "Attacking me is bad enough! But the others, too?!" She glared
hatefully at the ghoul and slowly drew her sword out of nowhere.

"You are a hundred years too young to defeat me!" Cologne laughed, "Attack!"

The twin girls, Rink and Pink, Shampoo's mortal enemies, started to run down 
the aisle brandishing poisonous flowers and herb potions. "Shampoo get bashed
this time! You no get away with hurting sister! Over!" yelled the one with the
poisons. The other, with the medicines followed, crying, "Shampoo no wed 
today! Over!"

Shampoo growled and raised her sword. "No-one stop Shampoo marry husband!" she
shouted, and rushed the twins in her beautiful wedding dress.

Mousse glared at the old ghoul, "I cannot forgive you for this, old mummy!"
He lept into the air, unleashing a hail of shurikens, throwing knives, sai,
bolas, darts and harpoons. Cologne blocked or dodged them all easily, 
laughing as she did so. "You have no chance against me, Mousse!"

Furinkan's kouchou laughed insanely as he ran up the centre of the aisle, 
trying to shave everyone's head as he passed by. Needless to say, this did not
make the guests happy.

"Kisama! I will not take this lightly! I will not have you wreck my wedding,
Daddy!" Kunou yelled with outrage, as he drew his bouken, not realising how
silly he sounded calling his father by the English word 'daddy'.

"Oho! I'll shave you're head personally, Tacchi!" the principal yelled, a 
look of anticipation on his face, "I shall enjoy it, too!" He ran straight at 
Kunou, but Kodachi somersaulted into his path, "Fight me first, daddy! You 
have embarresed me and ruined my wonderful party! I will not be ridiculed 
for this! DIE!" She glared at him for a moment and then threw a mass of 
gymnastics pins at him.

Mariko, the combat cheerleader, having been ignored by Kunou, turned her 
attention to Nabiki. "I shall just have to get rid of my rival, then!" She 
threw her baton at the seemingly defenseless Nabiki...

Which was caught by Ryouga. Ukyou threw her mini spatulas at the cheerleader
as she lept in front of Nabiki, "Attacking a girl who can't fight?! Why, 
you..."

"Well... I shall just have to dispose of you first!" She charged at Ukyou with
her spiked pompoms. "D! - I! - E! DIE!"

Konatsu's two ugly step sisters and his step mother did various stupid looking
poses together at the door, "We will destroy your happiness!" They then all 
launched themselves towards Akari and Konatsu, yelling, "Sexy Kunoichi 
Beautiful Crimson Hell Attack!" They swept up the aisle in a blur, leaving a
trail of kisses over everything in their wake. Shudders and cries of horror 
and discust came from the shocked crowd.

This was too much for Mint and Herb. "Our first kiss was with *UGLY* women 
with no breasts and a fat monster?! You have ruined our lives!" They both 
jumped out of their seats, kicking the furniture aside as they glared at the
three ugly kunoichi...

As luck should have it, Happousai turned up at that point. He stared at all 
the pretty girls and all the chaos, "Sweet! All these young girls for me!" He
bounded around the room and then glomped onto the first pretty girl he saw.

The girl squealed in discust, "Hentai!" and started bapping Happousai over the 
head. Unfortunatly the girl was Rouge, and Pansuto Taro was with her. He took
one look at Happi and, within an instant, had splashed all three with a bucket 
of cold water.

Happousai was most surprised to find himself glomping onto a six armed woman
who started breathing fire at him. The giant minotaur-like creature with 
tentacles and wings, wrapped an appendage around Happi and started tugging, 
fighting with the Indian god woman over the old lecher.

Before long, the Joketsuzoku and the Shishifuku Dojin has joined the fight, as
had most of the remaining guests. Souun Tendou just sat in the front row, 
wailing his heart out. Toufuu-sensei blinked, watching the fight with some
bemusement and wondering how many patients he would have when it was over. In
the intervening period, Nabiki had escaped and was standing near the doctor.

Nodoka, Genma, Ranma and Akane stared as the chaos raged around them. Suddenly
Genma pushed Ranma towards the largest fight, "Be a martial artist! Stop the
fight!" This suceeded only in getting Ranma mad. "Do it yourself, Oyaji!" he
said, flik-flaking his father to the floor.

Akari stood with Kasumi, staring at the usual violence around them. Kasumi
blinked, wide eyed, "Oh my! Thank goodness Miyabi's asleep in one of the
guest rooms!"

The minister stared at the sight and scratched his head, "I can't conduct a 
wedding like this!" He was then knocked out by an unidentified flying object.

Hinako-sensei, who had changed back into her child form, jumped up and down. 
"You bad people will have to be punished! There is way too much fighting 
spirit for a wedding!" She then held up her hands, revealing a five yen piece 
between each of her fingers. "Happou-go-en-satsu!" she yelled, as she 
absorbed the battle aura of the combatants around her through her coins.

With an almost unlimited source of energy, Hinako grew into adult form. She
then dropped the coins down her now tight dress and formed a circle with her
hands, her thumbs and index fingers pressed together."Happou-change-exchange!"
she yelled, sending a huge blast of energy into the now weakened crowd of
guests and fighters.

There was a massive explosion as people flew around the room, the fights 
breaking up from the size of the blast. Miraculously, the brides and grooms
escaped without a scratch. Shampoo, Mousse, Ryouga, Ukyou, Kunou and Konatsu
immediately started beating on Rink, Pink, Mariko, Konatsu's step family and 
Kunou-kouchou. 

"Take this! And this!"

"How dare you ruin my wedding day?!"

"You get it now!"

"It's payback time!"

No-one noticed Cologne regaining consciousness. She sneaked over to the 
minister and grabbed him. She bounced to the door, dragging him behind her. 
She then turned and laughed, "You can't get married without this man! 
Wahahahahahaha!" The old bag turned and lept out the door...

Ranma looked at Akane, who nodded, then jumped onto the dais, "We've got to  
catch the ghoul! It's time she paid for messing us around! Let's go!" He 
turned and vaulted over the crowd, following Cologne. The brides and grooms
all looked at each other, nodded and ran out after Ranma. Only Kasumi and 
Toufuu stayed behind, letting the younger couples go after the old woman. 
Most of the guests still able to walk, ran out, carrying those who could not.
Souun and Genma tied up the wedding crashers, standing guard over them. 

Meanwhile Kasumi and Nodoka began cleaning up as Toufuu woke some of the 
comatose guests. As soon as they regained consciousness, Mikado and Kodachi
jumped up and ran out to join the persuit, Akane hot on their heels, having 
made sure everything was under control.

Ranma lept from rooftop to rooftop, chasing after Cologne and the minister.
"Get back here, bakemono!"

The old woman chuckled, "You can't catch me, muko-dono!"

"I am *NOT* your son-in-law!" Ranma yelled as he chased her over the rooftops
of Nerima.

Soon, Ukyou, Ryouga, Mousse, Shampoo, Konatsu, Kunou and Kodachi caught up 
with Ranma. Akari, riding on her pig, raced along the streets after them with 
Nabiki and Akane, Mikado skating at their side.

As they chased the others, Nabiki half gazed at Mikado, "Why're you helping, 
anyway?!" 

Mikado laughed a little, "If all you beautiful women don't get married, I 
won't get to kiss the brides!"

[By The River, A Little Later]

"Here it ends, muko-dono!" Cologne stopped and dropped the minister to the
ground, turning to face Ranma.

Ranma smiled confidently and cracked his knuckles, "You really think so, 
obaba?"

The others move into Cologne's view behind Ranma, the brides and grooms still
in their wedding finery. Each carried a weapon and wore an angry expression.
The fighting spirit of the group was tremendous, their chi burning around 
them. Even Cologne was forced to back away from the radiating power.

She then pulled out a small vial, "I may not be able to beat all you young 
people with this old body of mine... But that won't be the case for much 
longer! Wahaha!"

"Stop her!" Shampoo shouted urgently, leaping at her great grandmother.
Cologne quaffed the liquid in the vial and was suddenly surrounded by a 
glowing light that sent Shampoo flying back into Mousse's awaiting arms.

They all stared at the light, prepared for anything Cologne might throw at
them.

The light twinkled out of existance and, in Cologne's place, stood a rather 
beautiful young woman with long black hair. She was dressed in what might 
have been Cologne's green robes, but it was stretched over her body in ways 
only Hinako could have matched. The green outfit left her long smooth legs 
exposed right up to her upper thighs, the bottom of the outfit only just 
covering her, giving little modesty. The torso of the outfit was rather taut 
over her stomach and breasts, showing her voluptuous figure. The sleeves of 
the top where very short, but a little loose. She glared coldly at the group.
"Now, you all die!"

Kodachi stared, wideyed, "A youth potion..."

"What the...?" Mousse stared at the young Cologne. 

Cologne lept at the group, one leg outstreched for a powerful kick...

Suddenly a small blur flew at Cologne, attaching itself to her torso. "Sweet!
Cologne-chan is back!"

Cologne squealed, "Eeek! Hentai! Get if off me!"

Happi glomped onto her chest, clinging on as he nuzzled his face between her 
breasts.

While Cologne was distracted, Ranma took his moment of advantage and
charged, "Get her!"

Kodachi spun out her ribbon, tying Happousai to Cologne with a flick of her 
wrist as Mousse's volley of weapons rained down on the youthened woman and the
hentai. Kunou charged towards her, initating his pattern strike, while Akari 
urged Katsu-nishiki to trample her. Mikado, Shampoo, Ukyou, Ryouga, Akane and
Ranma all charged head-long into the fray.

Cologne was forced to back up, acrobatically dodging the attacks aimed at her,
and using Happousai, still attached to her breasts, as a sheild. Soon, however,
the sheer force of her attackers began to overwhelm her. <Damn! I've got to
get rid of the hentai and this ribbon!> she thought angrily.

At this moment, Konatsu leapt off a roof and into the fight... His only 
mistake being to release a smoke bomb.

When the smoke cleared and the coughing fits were over, Happousai was 
unconscious on the ground at Cologne's feet, her body now free from the 
confines of the ribbon. "Now, I'll pay you all back for your trouble!" She 
lept at the group, now prepared for an even fight.

Nabiki, as the tide turned in Cologne's favour, stood back from the fight,
thinking.

Mikado was easily felled by a slashing elbow, as he attempted his specialty
kiss attack without his partners back up. Kodachi, enraged at seeing her
husband injured, let her guard down and was wiped out a palm uppercut from
Cologne.

Nabiki's expression became calculating as she got an idea...

Cologne slammed her fist into Kunou's face, spun, flik-flaked him, pivoted and
finished him with a back elbow, backhand combo, putting him down cold. Nabiki
yelled out to Ranma who moved back to talk to her. She whispered in his ear 
for a moment and he nodded. <It just might work...> he thought.

As Cologne tangled Mousse in his own weapons, spinning him around like a top
as she used him as a sheild from Shampoo, Ranma called out. "Stop fighting!
Get back! We give up!"

Everyone stopped fighting and stared at Ranma in dismay.

Ryouga ran up to Ranma and grabbed him by the shirt front, "What do you think 
you're doing?!" 

Ranma shoved Ryouga back, whispering fiercly as he did so. 

Ryouga stared and nodded almost imperceptably...

Cologne chuckled and looked laudingly at them, "What is it, muko-dono? This
woman too much for you?!"

As Ranma glared angrily at Cologne, his chi began to flare again, while Ryouga
spoke quietly to the others, who nodded.

Ranma continued, "I merely want a real fight so the injured won't get hurt
any more."

Cologne snorted, but let Akane, Nabiki and Akari remove the unconscious 
fighters from the field of battle.

"Now, Ghoul! Ikuze!" Ranma rushed towards Cologne, Ryouga following. As they 
attacked, the others moved back to tend the injured.

As the fight began, Ukyou called out, "Stop it, Ryouga! I didn't really want 
to marry you, anyway! I don't love you! I'm sorry but I only just realised it 
now."

Ryouga froze in place. Even though he knew what Ukyou was doing, his heart was
encased in ice. <U..ukyou..-chan... I...knew this was too good to be true...>
Waves of depression washed over him, the air heavy around him.

Ranma who was still concentrating on Cologne felt the air of depression. 
<Damn! Maybe this was a bad idea, but...> "NOW!"

Ranm and Ryouga moved in unison charging forward and shouting at the same
moment...

"SHISHIHOUKOUDAN!" shouted Ryouga, unleashing his misery.

"HIRYUSHOTENHA!" yelled Ranma, releasing his dragon spiral attack.

The power of Ryouga's dispair turned into energy, bursting forth in a pillar 
of explosive chi that blasted skyward in a radiating wave.

As Ranma's wirlwind reached it's peak, Ryouga's energy was drawn into the 
spiral, charging it with power. Cologne realized too late what was happening.
She barely has time to scream before she was sucked into the tornado of 
charged energy and thrown around inside the vortex, her body being slammed 
into walls of air with the strength of steel.

The pillar of energy reached it's maximum velocity and then exploded as the 
two powers interacted and shorted out. Cologne was blasted unconscious and
sent flying into the distance by the force of the explosion.

Ryouga fell to his knees in the middle of a massive crater. Ukyou rushed to 
his side and hugged him tightly. "Ryouga-kun. I love you so much!" She felt so 
horrible about causing his depression, even though he had asked her to say
those things.

He looked up at her, still gripped by depression, "Hontou?"

She nodded and held him tightly, "Now we can marry!" She kissed him softly,
holding him close.

Ranma watched Cologne sail over the horizon, then turned and smiled at the
group. "That's that. Now you can get married!" he said, flashing a victory 
symbol.

Toufuu-sensei, Kasumi and all the guests arrived seemingly from nowhere, 
standing near the edge of the crater. The doctor pushed up his glasses and
nodded, "We can get married as soon as everyone regains consciousness!"

Kasumi surveyed the damage, "Your wedding clothes will need to be cleaned.
You can't have wedding photos looking like that!"

Everyone face faulted, "..."

[The Kunou Mansion, The Rose Garden]

The minister stood on the expansive grass lawn, surrounded by delicately 
arranged beds of red, black and pure white roses. Most of the roses, on either
side of the guests, were red or black. As Ranma looked about him, an ammusing
thought hit him, <Well, at least now we know where they got all the flowers
from!>

With the grooms and guests in place again, the brides began their stately  
walk down the aisle, formed between the two rows of chairs that the guests
were now sitting on. Sasuke played the Wedding March on a piano acordion as 
bridal party moved down the aisle. Although all the couples had freshened up, 
they stil bore some of the scars of battle and looked a little the worse for 
wear.

This time, the brides made it to their grooms with no interuptions. Ukyou 
stood next to Ryouga. Nabiki joined Kunou. Akari moved next to Konatsu while
Mousse took Shampoo's hand. Finally, Kasumi moved to stand next to Toufuu, her 
eyes shinning.

The minister nodded to himself, gave a cautious glance around for flying 
projectiles, then, seeing none, began the ceremony.

The couples exchanged their vows and placed rings on each others fingers. 
Each couple repeated the words, "I do..." as they placed the rings on their 
love. Most of the female guests began to cry, but none were a match for Souun
however.

"I now pronounce you..." the minister erred. "...you all... Husbands and 
wives. You may now kiss the brides!"

Each groom took his bride in his arms, Kunou and Ryouga lifting their wives' 
veil, and kissed her.

The guests jumped up, cheering and throwing confetti and streamers at the 
couples, "Congratulations!"

Before too long, everyone was in the Kunou's banquet hall, beggining the 
reception feast. Each bride and groom were filled with happiness, loving their
new spouse with all their heart.

Ranma placed a hand on Akane, smiling at her, "You know... This kind of 
reminds me of our wedding."

Akane smiled, "Although this was a little more eventful..."

Ranma grinned and kissed her, "Just a little..."

[Meanwhile, Akane & Ranma's Room] (this goes somehere amongst the lemons)

Ranma sat reading a book to Miyabi, while Akane tidied up the room, getting
out the futon and Miyabi's cot. 

"Hey, Akane. What do you think the others are doing?" 

Akane turned and gave him a withering look, "What do you think?!"

"Huh?"

Akane smiled, "Do you remember our wedding night?"

Ranma suddenly got the picture. "Oh! Sure! Yeah! I remember. Heh... How could
I forget?" he said, grinning sheepishly.

Akane frowned for a moment and then smiled, "Yeah... How?"

[Akane & Ranma's Room]

Ranma gently placed his daughter in her cot, kissing her gently. "Goodnight,
Miya-chan. Papa loves you." He ran his hand lightly through her hair.

"Nai! Nai! Papa," Miyabi cooed, smiling up at him, "Love papa!"

Ranma sighed happily stepping back to let Akane say goodnight to their 
daughter.

"Love mama," said Miyabi, then began mumbling in baby talk, only to be stopped 
by a kawaii yawn.

Soon, both Ranma and Akane readied themselves for the night, then turned out
the lights and slipped into bed. They held each other close, eventually 
drifting off to sleep.

_____________________________________________________________________________

[Meanwhile, Somewhere in Low-Earth Orbit]

The moonlight washed over Nerima like the silvery waters of a waterfall, the
stars twinkling in the night sky. Up in space, all Cologne could see was the
moonlight reflected off the rooves of the town. She could not hear the cries 
of passion from the newlywed's houses, nor could she feel anything but 
Happousai, who was better attached to her than a facehugger-alien.

Cologne looked down at Happi, "You jumped into the wirlwind on purpose, didn't 
you?!" her clothes almost shreaded from the power of the 
Hiryuushishishotenhoukoudanha.

Happousai nuzzled against her, happy that she was took weak to fight him off,
"Of course, Cologne-chan! But just be quiet and let an old man enjoy his last
years of pleasure before he dies."

Cologne grred, "As soon as I recover, you're going to pay for this Happi..."
She then looked down at Nerima and scowled, "And so will they..."

Happi ignored her and continued to rub against her chest.

"..."
