A long time ago, I made the mistake of mentioning to Kunoichi that
she probably wouldn't like my series, since by killing off/Jusenkyo
cursing all the main characters, I had made a lemon offshoot impossible.
She very quickly set me right. Her reply intrigued me, and I asked her
to write the story she'd described. Then, I asked her again. And again.
And again. Here is the result...

           A Ranma 2096 Lemon side-story by Kunoichi

---------------------------------------------------------------------

          'An evil spirit, your beauty haunts me still,
           Wherewith, alas, I have been long posess'd,
           Which ceaseth not to tempt me to each ill,
           Nor gives me but one poor minute's rest.
                            ...
           Thus am I still provok'd to every evil
           By this good-wicked spirit, sweet angel-devil.'

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[Room A-323 Kunou Hall, University of Tokyo - Fall 2096]

Kim slept on her bed, dreaming of a past where she wasn't cursed, part of
that hentai Ranma, where nothing out of the normal happened, and she 
was just a normal student...

Ranma-spirit and Akane-spirit glowed softly in the darkness, both in 
the darkened bathroom. They both looked shy, and both ghosts seemed to 
be...  a pale shade of pink.

Ranma looked down to the floor, his blush evident. "You said ... that 
you died a ... v.. virgin?"

Akane blushed, nodding her head slowly, "Yeah.... I... couldn't handle
letting anyone but you near me... I couldn't even think of living 
without you."

Ranma nodded slowly and looked at her, "Akane... You know that I have
always loved you..?"

"Well... I did know, deep inside. But..." She smiled at him, "I'm glad
that you can tell me now..."

Ranma blushed a little deeper, his heart, or what was his heart inside his
ghostly form, beat faster, "Akane..."

She moved over to him, blushing a little deeper herself, and started to
move ever so slowly... sliding her arms around his neck.

Ranma gasped, "I can feel you, Akane!"

Akane smiled up at him, "When we move slowly, we can touch, ne? But 
it's harder for spirits... I just thought that since we were so 
close..." Her spirit heart was beating faster, matching his heart 
beats.

Ranma, "Akane.. I never thought that I would ever be able to hold 
you..."

He slowly slid his arms around her...

"Akane...?"

Akane gazed into his eyes, her glow seeming to brighten as they held 
each other. "Hai, Ranma?"

"C..can I... well... k...kiss you?"

Akane slowly nodded... her eyes closing, lifting her face up to his...

Ranma took a deep breath... could not help enjoying how she felt in 
his arms... She seemed... alive to him. He slowly lowered his face to 
hers... and their lips touched...

Both of them felt like a jolt of electricity had shot through their 
bodies as their lips met... The tingle excited them, giving them both 
a wonderful feeling of pleasure. They held each other for a long 
moment, just enjoying their first, real kiss.

They held their sweet kiss for a while, then broke off, both blushing 
very heavily. The room glowed a deeper pink from their blushing.

"R..ranma... I... liked that."

Ranma nodded, "Me, too..."

They watched each other for a moment, holding each other, loving the 
feeling of being touched by the one they loved.

Before too long, they drifted into another kiss... their lips parting 
just slightly to deepen the gentle kiss... Their heart beats raced, 
both forgetting about everything else, just loving this current 
situation. Loving the other.

Ranma broke the kiss, lifting up his hand to slowly ruffle Akane's 
soft, dark hair, "Oh, Akane. You are so beautiful... If only I could 
have told you this while we were alive..."

Akane gave nodded slowly, giving off a soft sigh, "I know, Ranma... 
But I was always so proud, and I didn't want to admit that I needed 
anyone."

Ranma sighed a little, "I just didn't think about things like this..."

"Well, at least we can try to start our relationship now..."

Ranma nodded to Akane, "Yeah... I think we could." He smiled and then 
kissed her again...

                             * * * * *

Kim turned in her sleep, still dreaming dreams of the past.

                           * * * * *

Akane floated a little off the ground, Ranma's body leaned against 
hers as they kissed... Their kisses grew passionate as they held onto 
each other, their closeness making them seem solid and real to the 
other.

Akane parted her lips and accepted the tip of Ranma's tongue into her 
mouth, her own tongue flicking up to meet his... They kissed long into 
the night, loving holding each other close, loving being touched... 
loving the kiss, and each other.

Ranma gently rained kisses all over her face, his heart filled with 
the love that he so long had tried to push away, "Oh, Akane..."

Akane sighed softly, still holding him to her... She couldn't help but 
notice how this kissing session had affected him. <Ranma... I... I 
couldn't have turned you on.... I'm just a tomboy, after all...> But 
she couldn't deny the fact that he was turned on, how part of him 
pressed against her thigh. She stared up at him, blushing even 
deeper, "Ranma..."

Ranma stared back into her eyes, hardly noticing how turned on he 
was... He was too busy concentrating on her, trying to make up for 
the century that they had missed, just being together. "Akane..."

Suddenly the bathroom door was flung open and Kim wandered in, yawning. 
She stopped and blinked, her eyes widening, "Ranma!? What are you 
doing on the floor??"

Suddenly Akane and Ranma jumped, parting as fast as they could.

Kim watched Ranma jump away from his position on the floor, <Ack! 
Akane must be here, too!>

Ranma yelled, "Chigau! Chigau!"

Akane just coloured deeply, looking at the floor.

Kim suddenly blushed and ran straight back to her room, "They couldn't 
have been... but they are engaged."

Akane and Ranma just stared at each other as the door shut.

Ranma blushed a lot, "A.. akane, I didn't mean to act like that when 
she walked in..."

Akane suddenly slamed her spiritual mallet down over Ranma's head, 
"I'll 'chigau' you, you baka!!" With that, she stormed off, right 
through a wall, crying.

Ranma, his head smashed through the floor, muttered, "Akane, you 
tomboy!"  But a rogue thought raced through his head, <I really do 
love you, Akane.  I wish Kim hadn't of turned up... And I wish I 
hadn't of hurt you by how I acted...> He pulled himself into a 
sitting position and sighed, resting his head on his arms.

                           * * * * *

Akane spent the rest of the evening, sitting outside Childra's room, 
crying to herself. <So close... then he said it was all a mistake! 
Baka! I should never have thought he'd change!>

                            * * * * *

In the morning, Kim dragged Ranma off with her to class, trying not to 
think of what had happened. He looked depressed, but Kim didn't know 
what had happened, and was too embarrassed to ask.

As Kim passed Childra's room, Ranma saw Akane, sleeping at the door.

Ranma sighed softly, "Kim, please go on without me... I need to talk 
to Akane."  He guestured to where he could see Akane. Kim gave a 
confused nod, then walked down the hall, contiuing to her class.

Ranma sat down next to Akane and slowly placed his hand on her arm, 
rousing her, "Akane... I'm relly sorry about last night. It was just 
a reaction that I've been taught since birth... Anything sudden like 
that, and I'm jumping around yelling out 'chigau'. Fu, I guess a life 
with my thief of a father doesn't help anything..."

Akane frowned, still half asleep, "Ranma?" She could still feel the 
pain in her heart, but didn't want to leave him side.

Ranma sighs, "I didn't mean it, Akane. I was enjoying being close to 
you... then I just had to go and spoil things."

Akane stared at him, "Really, Ranma...?"

He nodded, looking down at the ground as people walked past, not 
noticing or even seeing the two ghosts.

Akane smiled, her heart starting to warm up again... "Oh, Ranma." She 
slid her arms around him and hugged the startled Ranma. Slowly his 
arms wrapped around her, and they help each other close...

                          * * * * *

Kim finished her class, stood up and picked up her books. <I wonder 
where Ranma is. Probably still talking to Akane... I wonder what 
happened between them after I left...>

She shook her head and walked out of the room with a sigh, headed back 
to her room.

                           * * * * *

Akane moved outside into the garden, by the library. She sat down and 
looked up at the sky. <Oh, Ranma... After all this time, you're back. 
And I'm here. You can't guess how lonely I've been...>

She watched a few couples wandering around together, arm in arm. A few 
slipped off together to do what couples do best when they are in love. 
She gave yet another soft sigh. <Ranma, I really did want to marry you, 
deep in my heart.>  She ran a hand through her short hair, whispering, 
"I want to be with you, forever, Ranma..."

                            * * * * *

Kim entered her room and threw herself down on the bed, picking up one 
of her note books to study. But before too long, she noticed Ranma, just 
hanging around. "Ranma, what's up with you?"

Ranma-spirit gave a half shrug, "Nothing's wrong with me. What could 
be wrong with me? Things are fine and couldn't be better."

Kim shook her head, "I thought you made up with Akane while I went to 
class.  Don't tell me something happened again?"

Ranma shook his head, "No, nothing like that. I just have to think 
about stuff, you know."

Kim frowned, looking at Ranma, <I wonder what he's really up to.>

Ranma looked at Kim's frown, then wandered off, "I've got to think 
about this by myself."

                           * * * * *

Ranma-spirit stared vacantly into a wall as he sat, by himself. He 
knew that he was in love with Akane, and he knew that she loved him. 
<But this is a long-term relationship! It'll be forever! And she's a 
ghost... and I'm real some of the time..... But I can't be without 
her.>

He started to draw little 'no' hirigana characters in the floor in 
front of him with his fingertip. <Even if she does hit me whenever she 
gets mad.>

Suddenly he jumped up, his ki flaring around him, "I am going to 
make this work, even if it kills me!!!"

With that, he ran off, trying to find Akane.

                          * * * * *

Ranma and Akane met outside Kim's room. The stopped still and gazed at 
each other, both starting to blush again. Ranma finally took a deep 
breath.

"Akane..."

Akane looked at him, her eyes wide, "Ranma...?"

Ranma knelt down in front of her, "Akane, I want to be with you, 
forever.  I know that no matter what happens, I'll be here for you, 
and I'll take care of you, even if we're not really alive..."

Akane's eyes grew wider yet, "Ranma.... Does this mean that we... that 
we are REALLY engaged?"

Ranma nodded his head, looking up at her...

She threw herself into his arms and... went sailing right through him. 
This time, she got up and hugged him..... slowly. "Oh, Ranma. I want 
to be with you for eternity, too!"

As they held each other, outside Kim's door, Skeride walked past. "Oh, 
it's so lovely that you two are getting to know each other!"

Ranma and Akane blinked after her as she continued down the hallway, 
turning around a corner.

                           * * * * *

Kim sat on her bed with Akane and Ranma near by.

Kim blinked, "You both want me out of my room tonight? Whatever for?"

Akane blushed, "Well, I'd like to have a little time alone with Ranma...
And Childra's been gone for a while, which means she'll probably be
entertaining someone..." She looked at Ranma, thoughts of 'entertaining' 
him flitting through her mind. The light pink glow deepened.

Ranma blushed at her blush, "Well, Akane says that we should spend some 
time alone, and we can't use Childra's room because... err, she's got 
a guy there tonight."

"Or a girl," muttered Akane.

Kim blushed, too. "Well, err. I have to go to the library and check out 
a few things. And since Rat's lost, I could study there... But why don't 
you two use HIS room?"

Ranma scratched his head, "Well, if he's anything like Ryouga, he'll 
turn up at exactly the wrong time... at least if you're in his room, 
you can explain things to him. He doesn't seem to like me all that 
much."

Kim sighed a little, then nodded. "Alright. But I don't know why I'm 
going through all of this just for a hentai jock like you!"

Ranma growled a little, but Akane lightly rested her hand on his 
shoulder, "We're kicking the poor girl out of her room, Ranma... 
You'd be a little upset at that, if she was you."

Ranma muttered to himself, but didn't press the issue, until Akane 
poked him. "Err, well, thanks a lot. Akane says to say thanks, too."

Kim shook her head and stood up, picking up her books, "Well, it looks 
like I'd better start going, then." Without waiting for a reply, she 
left the room.

Ranma and Akane looked at each other, wondering if they had done the 
right thing.

                            * * * * *

The couple sat down on the edge of Kim's bed, holding hands. The glow 
that emanated from them was a soft white, tinged with the colour of 
their blush.  Akane trembled a little, just a little scared... but 
excited by being near the man she loved... and they had the whole 
night together.

Ranma's heart was beating faster, watching his beautiful, nervous love,
next to him. He couldn't admit that he wasn't nervous, but he wanted to 
be near her. Even he couldn't deny this to himself any longer.

He looked deeply into her eyes, "Akane... I love you..." He moved 
closer to her. As Akane closed her eyes, they kissed. Ranma enjoyed 
the soft, sweet feeling of her lips against his... Loving even the 
sweet sent of her hair that he could smell. He ever so slowly moved 
his arms around her, leaning his body against her. <She feels so soft... 
Oh, Akane. How could I ever have missed this, just fighting you 
instead?>

Her arms moved to rest around his neck as she leaned back, kissing him 
back with her tenderness. <Ranma... I ... I love you so...> They 
deepened their kiss as they lay down against the bed, moving in slow 
motion. 

As they kissed, their lips parted, their tongues darting into each 
other's lips, entwining and dancing in their kiss... Their heart 
beats grew faster, even their spirit bodies started heating... their 
white glow turning a soft pink, growing brighter... Before too long, 
their hands ever so slowly started to roam, sliding up and down the 
other's back and sides... Akane relaxing on the bed, trying not to 
drown in their kisses and lose control of her concentration... 
otherwise Ranma would end up floating straight through her.

Ranma, for his part, was already starting to get lost in their kisses...
Just feeling her warmth under him, her soft body... her breasts 
pressing against his chest... all served to turn him on yet again... 
"Akane..." he whispered as he broke their kiss, moving to start 
nibbling on her ear, kissing her tender neck...

She moaned softly, a tingling running through her body as he kissed 
her neck... She ran her hands up to his shoulders, stroking his body 
lightly.  

"Ranma..."

                          * * * * *

Kim sat in the library, totally engroced in the information running 
over her screen. She ran a hand through her hair, making the 
occasional note. 

Time passed as she studied...

                           * * * * *

Ranma and Akane's pink glow lit up the room... His hands were running 
under him, over her body, working at her clothing as he kissed all 
over her neck, forgetting about the need for concentration.

Neither Ranma nor Akane understood how this was happening. They were 
both ghosts, and were totally different from humans. But their body 
heat, as they held each other, kissing, getting closer, was ki 
energy. Their closeness made their energy grow stronger, almost as if 
it was trying to connect with the other's energy. Trying to become 
one, as surely as their spiritual bodies would...

Akane, shivering with all these new sensations, closed her eyes... 
and willed her clothing to disappear. Suddenly, Ranmaa's hands were 
touching her smooth skin... a hand cupping her breast, the other at 
her hips.

His eyes opened wide and he gasped, staring at her. "A.. a... akane!" 
he managed to gasp.

"Ranma... please..." she whispered, her body glowing brighter. The 
room was bathed in a deep pink...

Ranma gave a half nod... and his clothing, too, disappeared. They 
stared at each other for a moment... but their closeness was too much. Both 
needed to know the full emotions of being one... Both needed the 
physical-seeming touch of the other. "Y...yes..." He whispered back, 
then pressed his lips over hers as his hands stroked her firm 
breast... her smooth hip.

Akane's hands glided up and down his back, feeling his muscles... The 
two spirits started to explore the other's bodies...

                           * * * * *

Kim stood up, and yawned. She left the library, all the studying 
tiring her out. Automatically her legs started leading her home...

                           * * * * *

Ranma and Akane hesitently explored each other, both wanting to show 
their love in many ways, but not really knowing what to do. Many times 
Akane had seen Childra trying to seduce a man, but she had refused to 
look. It had just reminded her of Ranma... But during her time as a 
ghost, she had managed to pick up some information... Ranma, on the 
other hand, was totally innocent. He explored her body in wonder...

Akane groaned softly as his hands caressed her skin... She occasionally
whispered into her fiancee's ear where she needed his touch... her own 
hands moving down to slowly touch his length...

Ranma let out a groan as her hands enclosed him... He shuddered, the 
feeling that ran through his body was so strong. He tweaked her nipple 
gently between his fingers, hearing a soft groan from her lips... He 
knew that he needed her... He wanted her to need him just as much.

She arched her back a little, "R..ranmaaa... Oh, Ranma... I... I want 
you inside me..."

His body reacted to hers as she pushed up against him. He pressed down 
to her... and let out another moan as she stroked his manhood. Her 
other hand tenderly rested over his and brought it down between them, 
to her sweet sex... He gasped yet again... his fingers found wetness. 
She was undoubtedly wet and hot... inexplicably so as Akane had not 
concentrated to make herself so. But she was... And she pressed his 
fingers to the right area, crying out as she felt him touch her clit...

Then she could hold on no more. She guided him to her opening as she 
pressed up... He pushed to her, and groans a soft, low moan as his 
length slid into her wet, tight opening...

Akane moaned out softly, the pleasure flooding her as he started to 
fill her.  She arched her back, then thrust her hips up... and Ranma's 
asoko was deep inside her, totally filling the woman he loved.

Slowly at first, they began to make love... their movements speeding 
up as their whole beings became one... Both lovers moaned... lost in 
the sensations of making love... and lost in each other's feelings... 
both understanding the other perfectly as they were joined... Their 
pleasure increased ten thousand fold as their love grew...

The door opened and a bleary eyed Kim walked in. She stopped and 
stared, her tiredness vanishing. Ranma and Akane were on her bed... 
making love! She didn't know how she could see both of them, or why, 
but their moans reached her ears... The sight of their naked bodies 
moving erotically... the pink glow that bathed the room in the 
light... it clouded her brain, sending a blush over her features. She 
turned and fled, trying to get the scene from her mind...

Neither Ranma nor Akane noticed, both still in the midst of love 
making. They moved against each other, rocking, Ranma filling Akane's 
body again and again... Both of their ki growing stronger as the 
pleasure grew more and more intense... Knowing each other so 
intimately... So perfectly. They continued to pour out their love as 
they thrust against each other... 

They moved together, their feelings, sensations reaching a climax... 
Then something happened. Akane was suddenly filled with a deep warmth, 
seeming to wash through her body as Ranma's release flooded through 
him... Both were thrown into a deep orgasm, rocking their whole self... 
their bodies, still one, seeming to share the feeling....

Then they collapsed onto the bed... and their oneness faded. Still 
holding onto each other, they closed their eyes and relaxed... trying 
to sort out the confusion of the special feelings that had overwhelmed 
them... but still warm, almost floating on their pleasure and 
happiness. 

                            * * * * *

Kim threw herself down on Ratiko's bed, her body crying out with need 
as the scene of Ranma and Akane making love played through her mind 
over and over.  She hadn't meant to go there... She hadn't meant to 
see them... but she did.  

They were making love, on her bed. She gave a shudder and a low moan as 
she saw them again in her mind...

She couldn't help thinking about it, no matter how hard the tried to 
put it from her mind. She rolled onto her back and trembled, a fire 
burning between her legs as her body wished her to be with a lover... 
She squirmed out of her jacket, then stripped off her t-shirt. She 
undid her jeans, slipping out of them. <Maybe a cold shower will help!> 
she through desperately.

Her hands moved to undo her bra. She shrugged it off and flicked it on 
the pile of her clothing... Then she slid down her panties... Suddenly 
her heated sex, covered in a growing wetness, was assailed by the cool 
air in the room. She stifled a groan, and her fingers moved, seemily 
of their own accord, down to stroke her honey-dewed petals...

Having already touched herself, she couldn't stop. Her fingers stroked 
over her sweet petals lightly, increasing the burning desire within 
her. Slowly, she raised up her legs, parting her knees... and began 
to stroke herself a little faster, her fingertips running up and down 
the length of her opening, never going in...

She arched her back slightly, moving a fingertip to her swollen clit... 
and she gasped, her eyes shutting tightly. Seeing the image of the 
spirits in her mind, she imagined herself as Akane... Ranma on top of 
her... She leaned her head back, imagining her invisible lover kissing 
her neck with his passion as his hands stroked her clit, her petals... 
running through the honey that trickled slowly from her... She groaned 
again, and worked her clit more as her imagined lover pleasured her...

Then, she slid a finger between her petals... the man in her mind 
starting to slide his hard manhood into her as he whispered how much 
he loved her, over and over. Her finger pushed inside her velvety warm 
inner walls, slowly  dipping inside herself... With a soft wimper she 
arched her back, lifting up her hips to meet her hand...

A moan escaped her lips, and she started to rock, letting her finger 
plunge into herself, again and again... She and her invisible lover 
imitating Ranma and Akane's love making... She continued to rock, 
groaning out untill she climaxed... Then, her shivering body collapsed 
back onto Ratiko's bed, and she dozed off to sleep as the pleasure 
seeped through her...

                             * * * * *

Akane sighed contentedly, her arms around her ghost lover and fiancee...
holding him as if they were alive... She knew that when they both 
slept, they would go insubstantial, even to each other... but for now, 
she was happy.

Ranma yawned a little, resting his head on her breasts, wishing that 
he could be like this forever...

                            * * * * *

Ratiko trugged down the corridor and opened a random door. He looked 
around and sighted. It was dark, and he had no hope in this world of 
finding the light switch. <I may as well just find a couch or 
something in here and go to sleep. I can explain to the occupants 
later...>

He bumped into a piece of furnature and sat down on it. It felt like a 
couch or something that he could sleep on. With a sigh, he streached 
out on it, falling asleep after his journey.

He failed to notice the woman, alseep on the bed, next to him.

                           * * * * *

The morning sun light up the rooms at the dorm. Waking, Ranma almost 
fell through Akane as he turned to hug her. The feeling of his arm 
passing through her was enough to waken the sleeping spirit.

She saw Ranma, his face betraying a tender, loving look in his smile, "Ohayou,
Akane..."

She smiled back, "Ohayou, Ranma." She blushed a little, noticing that 
they were both still naked, "I... I really enjoyed being with you 
last night..." she whispered.

Ranma's smile grew, "And I loved it, Akane. I'm glad that you didn't 
think I was such a pervert or anything..."

Akane grinned, a little mischeviously, "But you ARE a hentai, Ranma!"

Ranma frowned, "Hey, you're one to talk!"

Akane stuck her tongue out at him, "Who was the one who got all... 
excited, first?"

"Oi! You got pretty excited yourself!"

She giggled and planted a soft kiss on his lips, "I love you, my ecchi 
Ranma."

"Mmmmm... and I love you, Akane..." he whispered back, kissing her 
tenderly.

After their kiss, they both caused their clothing to reappear.

"Let's go see if Kim wants to go back to her room..." Akane offered 
her hand to Ranma.

Ranma took her hand and nodded, leaving the room with her.

                           * * * * *

Ranma and Akane moved through the door leading to Ratiko's room. They 
stopped and stared, their mouths dropping open.

There was Ratiko and Kim, asleep on the single bed. Kim's clothes were 
strewn around the room, and she was naked, with her hair tousled. 
Ratiko, although clothed, was close against Kim, an arm thrown 
carelessly around her.

Ranma's eyes opened wide, and Akane immediately punched him out of the 
room, "DON'T LOOK, BAKA!!!"

Kim stirred at Ranma's cry as he flew through a couple of walls. Akane 
turned and fled, off to find Ranma. The last thing she heard was a 
scream from Rat's room.

"HENTAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!"

        'Now at the last gasp of Love's latest breath,
         When, his pulse failing, Passion speechless lies,
         When Faith is kneeling by his bed of death,
         And Innocence is closing up his eyes,
           Now if thou would'st, when all have given him over,
           From death to life thou might'st him yet recover.'
