Suddenly Ranko found herself looking at the most 
beautiful person she had ever seen.  I'm in love, she thought.  
She was across the room in a flash.  "You don't know how 
happy it makes me to be in the presence of such loveliness."  
she said.

	"I hardly think Akane would appreciate you hitting 
on me, Ranma."  Nabiki said.

	"Um...over here, Nabiki."  Ranma said from across 
the room.

	"Huh?"  Nabiki said as she looked back and forth 
between Ranma and Ranko.  "Somebody explain this to 
me."

	Akane and Ukyo filled Nabiki in on the events of the 
evening.  Then Ranko explained how she was hunting a 
monster in China when she fell into the Nanniichuan.

	"Then you know where it is?"  Ranma asked with a 
hopeful look on his face.

	"Nope."  Ranko answered.  "Yoiko fished me out, 
and you know she wouldn't be able to find it again."

	"We need to find a way to tell you two apart so we 
don't have any more mishaps like earlier today."  Cologne 
interrupted.

	"What do you mean?"  Ranma asked.

	Without a word, Cologne grabbed him and tossed 
him outside and into the pond.

	"What you do that for!?"  Ranma-chan yelled.

	"You two look identical when you're the same 
gender."  Cologne said.

	"Oh. that's no problem."  Kasumi said.  "Ranko has 
green eyes and Ranma has blue eyes."

	"If Ranko would have marked the spring she fell in, 
then we wouldn't have to worry about that."  Ranma said.

	"You sound bitter, Bro.  Has your curse caused you 
problems?"  Ranko asked.

	"Well..."

	"Ranko, baby, I think I should give you some 
background info on your brother."  Nabiki said, and 
proceeded to tell her about all the fiancees and enemies and 
other problems Ranma got since he moved in, leaving out 
the part about Nodoka at Akane's suggestion.

	"I get the feeling I'm going to like living here."  
Ranko said.

	"Living here?"  Ranma and Akane said.

	"Well, you aren't going to throw me out on the 
street, are you?"  Ranko asked with a pleading look in her 
eyes.  "I'm family, after all."

	"Well, of course you can stay."  Soun said.  "You're 
going to be Akane's sister-in-law one day."

	"Dad!"  Akane yelled.

	"No arguments!"

	"It is time for me to leave."  Cologne said.  
"Shampoo was frightened horribly by Ranko today,  and I 
must explain today's events so she will stop screaming.  
Ukyo, will you assist me?"

	"Aww, do I have to?"  Ukyo liked the idea of a 
terrified Shampoo.

	"Yes, you do."  Cologne said.

	"Oh, all right.  Bye, Ranma honey."  Ukyo said and 
they left.

	"Kasumi, show Ranko to the guest room."  Soun 
said.

	"Yes, Father."  Kasumi said.  "Come with me, 
Ranko."

	As Ranko left the room, she winked at Nabiki, who 
blushed in return.

	"Here's your room.  Make yourself at home, and I'll 
call you when dinner is ready."  Kasumi said as she opened 
the door opposite of the one marked 'Nabiki'.

	"Kasumi?"  Ranko asked.

	"Yes, Ranko?"

	"Can we talk?"

	"Of course."  Kasumi sat on the edge of the bed and 
motioned for Ranko to join her.  "What do you want to talk 
about?"

	"Well, Nabiki said that Ranma could have gotten 
engaged to any of the Tendo girls.  So why did you and 
Nabiki elect Akane?"

	"There were several reasons, but the main reason 
was that we thought that having a fiancee would help Akane 
get over her...unfavorable...attitude about boys."

	"So, does she like Ranma?"

	"Well, they do fight often, but I think they like each 
other."

	"That's nice."  Ranko said with a smile.  "You 
probably have a boyfriend, anyway, so you couldn't marry 
him."

	"Oh my, no.  I don't have a boyfriend."  Kasumi 
said.

	"Really?  No one you like?"  Ranko asked.

	"Well, there is someone."  Kasumi blushed.  "But 
he's never asked me out on a date or anything."

	"Why don't you ask him out?"

	"I couldn't."  Kasumi looked positively flustered.  
"It wouldn't be proper."

	"If you say so."  Ranko said, trying not to laugh at 
Kasumi's old fashioned attitude.

	"Besides, I don't think I could get up the courage to 
ask him."

	"Okay, let's change the subject."  Ranko said.  
"What about Nabiki?"

	"What about Nabiki?"  Kasumi said, not 
understanding the question.

	"Does she have a girl..."  Ranko stopped herself.  "I 
mean...boyfriend?"

	"I have seen her with a boy from her class."  
Kasumi said.

	Ranko lost her smile.  "Really, who?"

	"Um...Tatewaki Kuno in his name, I think."  
Kasumi replied.

	"Kuno?"  Ranko perked up a bit.  "Tall guy.  Into 
kendo.  Speaks in poetry.  Right?"

	"Yes, that's him."

	"I saw him earlier.  He seemed to be interested in me, 
thinking I was Ranma."

	"Ranma?"  Kasumi said, looking shocked.  "I never 
knew.  I always thought he was interested in Akane."

	"Akane, too?"  Ranko's grin widened.  "Well, it 
seems as if Nabiki is available."

	"Why, do you know someone?"  Kasumi asked with 
an innocent smile.

	"Uh...maybe."  Ranko replied, amazed that Kasumi 
hadn't figured out where the conversation was leading.  "I'll 
have to look."

	"Well, tell me if you find someone."  Kasumi got 
up.  "Dinner should be ready in about an hour."  she said 
and left.

	Ranko laid back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.  
She knew that just because Nabiki didn't have a boyfriend 
didn't mean she was interested in girls.  And even if she was, 
she might already have a girlfriend, in which case Ranko 
wouldn't interfere.  But she had a chance, and a chance was 
all she wanted.

	Later at the dinner table, Ranko took a seat next to 
Nabiki and prepared to dig in.  After all, the only food she 
had all day was the bowl of ramen at the Cat Cafe, and she 
only ate half of that before Shampoo forced her to flee.  She 
took her chopsticks and reached to grab a piece of food, 
which was snatched up by Genma.

	"Hey!"  she yelled.

	"If you want to be my daughter, you're going to 
have to be quicker than that."  he replied.

	She made another grab, but was stopped by Ranma 
this time.

	"Hey!"

	"Sorry, Sis."  he said.  "If I leave you an opening, 
the old man will get it."

	Ranko frowned and placed her palms together, 
chanting under her breath.

	"Ranko, we aren't that formal here."  Akane said.  
"You don't have to say a prayer before eating."

	Ranko gave no answer.  Instead she took her hands 
and placed them on Ranma and Genma's foreheads.  They 
froze like statues.  She smiled and proceeded to fill her 
plate.

	"How did you do that?"  Akane asked in shock.

	"Oh, that?"  Ranko said as she started to grab the 
food off her father and brother's plates.  "Just a little magic.  
I don't use it too often."

	"Where did you learn magic?"  Akane asked.

	"Mostly from Urd, but I pick up a new spell every 
once in a while."

	"Who's Urd?"  Akane asked, wondering who could 
teach such an amazing technique.

	"Urd's my patron goddess."  Ranko replied.

	"Okay."  Akane said, not believing what she just 
heard.  Goddesses weren't real were they?

	"Ranko, could you fix them?"  Kasumi asked 
politely.  "I don't think that they would appreciate being 
frozen for very long."

	"Oh, sure thing."  Ranko said and snapped her 
fingers.  Genma and Ranma unfroze and started to fight 
over food that was no longer there.

	"Hey!  What happened?"  Ranma asked as his 
chopsticks grabbed at thin air.

	"That's what I'd like to know."  Genma said as he 
stared at his empty plate.

	"It appears that your daughter is full of surprises, 
Saotome."  Soun said and pointed to Ranko eating from a 
plate with enough food for three people.  Ranma gave her a 
dirty look.

	"What?"  Ranko said between bites.  "Yoiko may be 
great with a campfire, but nothing beats a home cooked 
meal."  Eventually, she took sympathy on her newly found 
family and sacrificed some of her mountain of food.

	After dinner, Ranko sat on the porch taking in the 
night air.  The storm had passed and the sky was filled with 
stars."

	"Mind if I join you?"

	Ranko's heart skipped a beat when she realized who 
it was.  "I can't think of a single person I'd like next to me 
more than you."

	Nabiki sat next to her.  "You know, I don't think my 
father would like the way you've been coming on to me."

	"You don't seem the type to let other people dictate 
your life."  Ranko replied with a grin.  "Besides, if I'm going 
to be a love goddess, I need to keep in practice."

	"You really take this goddess business seriously."  
Nabiki said.  "Akane thinks it's a load of crap."

	"She'll change her tune tomorrow, when I have one 
of the goddesses drop off some of my things."

	"One of the goddesses?"  Nabiki said.  "You mean 
there's more than one?"

	"Yeah.  Urd and her two sisters live with a college 
student up by Nekomi Tech."

	"How does a family of goddesses end up living with 
a college student?"

	"Long story."  Ranko said.  "Hey, Nabiki.  Can I ask 
you a question?"

	"Shoot."

	"Well, me and Kasumi were talking, and she 
mentioned that you were seeing a guy named Kuno..."

	"Jealous?"  Nabiki asked, and received a blush from 
Ranko.

	"No.  It's just that me and Yoiko ran into him earlier, 
and she seemed pretty fond of him."

	"Well, you can tell her not to worry about me.  I 
consider Kuno a client and nothing more."

	"Client?  In what business?"  Ranko asked.

	"Information, mostly."

	"What kind of information?"

	"Akane and Ranma-chan."  Nabiki's eyes lit up.  
"Although, it will probably be Akane and you, now."

	"If I stay."  Ranko said.

	"Not planning on leaving so soon, are you?"  Nabiki 
asked.

	"Why?  Want me to stay?"  Ranko asked back.

	"Sure.  If today is any indication, things will be a lot 
more interesting with you around."  Nabiki replied.

	"Thanks, Nabiki."  Ranko said and rested her head 
on Nabiki's shoulder.

	"Uh, Ranko?"  Nabiki asked with a nervous tone in 
her voice.

	"Yes?"  Ranko replied.  Damn, she thought.  I 
moved too fast for her.

	"How much does being a goddess and monster 
hunter pay."  Nabiki asked with a predatory look on her 
face.

	Ranko sighed.

	Later that night, Ranko laid awake in her bed.

	I didn't think things would go so smoothly, she 
thought.  I expected them to be skeptical of my claims, but 
instead they welcomed me with open arms.  Dad and Ranma 
treat me as if I'd been with them all my life.  Soun accepts 
me as part of his family.  Kasumi makes me feel what it 
must be like to have a mother.  But I suppose anybody 
could do a better job than my real mother.  Akane and I 
could grow to be good friends. And Nabiki...

	Ranko smiled.  Well, she thought.  I hope I can be 
more than just friends with Nabiki.

	*Knock-Knock*

	"Who is it?"  Ranko asked, wondering who could be 
up this late.

	"It's Nabiki.  Can I come in?"

	Ranko's heart jumped.  "O-of course.  Come right 
in."

	Nabiki entered, looked at Ranko, and giggled.

	"What?"  Ranko asked, looking confused.

	"Well, I knew you and Ranma had the same taste in 
clothes.  But I had no idea you wore boxers and a muscle-
tee to bed."  Nabiki answered and giggled some more.

	"Let's just say a girl in boxers looks better than a 
guy in panties."

	Nabiki broke out in laughter.  "I see your point."  
she managed to get out.

	"So, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit."  
Ranko asked.

	Nabiki became serious.  "Kasumi told me that you 
wanted to know why she or I didn't choose to be engaged 
to Ranma.  Well, I almost did."

	"Huh?"  Ranko didn't like where this conversation 
was going.

	"He's one of the most handsome men I've ever 
seen."  Nabiki answered.

	"So, you're saying you're attracted to him?"  Ranko 
asked, afraid of the answer.

	"Yes.  Him and her.  He's also one of the most 
beautiful women I've ever seen."  Nabiki answered.

	Ranko was crushed.  "So why didn't you take him 
for yourself?"

	"Because his personality turns me off."  she said.  "I 
mean, how would he react if I did this."  She reached out 
and grabbed Ranko's breast.

	Ranko gasped as she felt her nipples harden under 
her shirt.

	"Or this?"  Nabiki leaned forward and kissed Ranko, 
running her tongue across the girls teeth.

	Ranko pulled back.  "Nabiki.  Not that I'm not 
enjoying this.  Because I really, really am.  But, why do you 
want me all of a sudden?"

	"Because,"  Nabiki said as she pulled Ranko's shirt 
over her head.  "You have all the physical attributes that I 
like about Ranma, and none of the mental ones I don't like."

	"Like what?"  Ranko asked as she unbuttoned 
Nabiki's top.

	"Mmm."  Nabiki moaned as Ranko started to caress 
her breasts.  "You don't hide your true feelings and you 
don't judge people."  She pulled off her pajama bottoms.  
"Besides, I think I love you."

	"I fell in love the moment I saw you."  Ranko said.  
Then she noticed that Nabiki was giggling again.  "Now 
what?"

	"Sorry."  Nabiki tried to control herself.  "I just 
realized that we won't have to worry about getting our 
clothes mixed up in the morning."

	Ranko looked down to see Nabiki clad in only a pair 
of blue panties while she was still in her yellow and blue 
boxers.  "Well, I guess we'll just have to get rid of this 
distraction, won't we?"  She said as she pulled off her 
shorts, revealing a patch of red pubic hair.  She tossed the 
boxers aside and jumped on the bed.

	"We can't have just one of us naked, now can we?"  
Nabiki said as she took off her panties, uncovering her own 
brown pubic hair.  She joined Ranko on the bed.

	Ranko pulled the taller girls head down and gave her 
a passionate kiss, their tongues exploring each other's 
mouths.  She rolled Nabiki on her back and trailed kisses 
down her neck and lower, settling on her left nipple.  As she 
began to suck, she raised her hand to caress the right breast, 
gently flicking the nipple with her thumb.

	Nabiki moaned at the sensations Ranko was 
producing.  She reached out and grabbed the redhead's 
breasts, squeezing them and feeling the rock hard nipples 
against her palms.  She began to rub them in circles.

	After basking in the attention she was receiving for a 
few moments, she tool her hands and ran them along 
Nabiki's sides, past her hips and down her legs.  Reaching 
her knees, Ranko reversed direction and slid her hands up 
her inner thighs.  Nabiki moaned and instinctively parted her 
legs.  Ranko smiled and gave her slit a slow lick.

	Nabiki gasped at the new contact.  She sat up and 
ran her hands down Ranko's back, coming to rest on her 
ass.  She massaged the soft curves for a few moments, 
causing Ranko to reflexively raise her butt in the air.  Nabiki 
took advantage of this and slid a hand around to her front.  
Feeling Ranko's wetness, Nabiki slid a finger into her 
opening.

	Ranko shuttered at the intrusion.  She returned the 
favor, inserting a finger into Nabiki, but was stopped after a 
short distance.  She pulled out her finger as she realized that 
Nabiki was still a virgin.

	Noticing the loss of sensation, Nabiki figured she 
must not be doing a good enough job.  She started pumping 
her fingers in and out of Ranko, rubbing her clit in small 
circles with the other hand.  Her fingers got sticky as Ranko 
became even wetter.

	Ranko almost screamed as Nabiki's onslaught hit 
her.  Taking the hint, she resumed her work by gently 
sucking on Nabiki's clit  She took a finger and traced just 
inside the opening.

	Nabiki shook as she felt the sensations return.  She 
added a second to the to the one inside Ranko's canal, 
feeling the tightness grip it.  She stopped rubbing the clit 
with her other hand and instead started pinching it between 
her thumb and forefinger.

	Ranko was determined to bring Nabiki off first, but 
she knew she couldn't last much longer.  Resisting the urge 
to thrust her fingers deep into Nabiki, Ranko stopped 
sucking on her clit and instead started to gently bite.  She 
felt Nabiki's body start to quiver under her.

	Nabiki bit her lip as she came, her spasms causing 
her to thrust her fingers hard into Ranko's passage.  She saw 
the girl's body shake as her fingers were soaked by Ranko's 
orgasm.

	After the feelings subsided, Ranko slid up and gave 
Nabiki a kiss.  Nabiki tasted herself on Ranko's lips.  Ranko 
then grabbed Nabiki's hands and licked them clean of her 
own fluids.  Then they embraced and held each other for 
several moments.

	"Um, Nabiki?"  Ranko asked.

	"Yes, Ranko?"

	"Are you a lesbian?"

	"You wait until NOW to ask that?"  Nabiki said, 
faintly annoyed by the absurdity of the question.

	"I mean, have you had sex with other women?"  
Ranko asked bluntly.

	"No, you were my first.  Why?"  Nabiki asked.

	"Well, I used to have one of these,"  She inserted a 
finger into Nabiki and gently ran it across her hymen.  "And 
I lost it to another girl.  While I don't regret that, I've often 
wondered if it would have been better if I lost my virginity 
to a man."

	"Yeah.  What's you're point?"  Nabiki asked.

	"The night is far from over, so you have a choice to 
make.  We could continue the way we were, and I could 
give you greater pleasure than you've experienced before. 
Or,"  She gestured to the door.  "I could go out that door 
and come back a man, giving you a completely different 
kind of pleasure."

	"But, won't it hurt?"  Nabiki asked nervously.

	"There will be pain either way, but the pleasure is 
well worth it."  Ranko replied.  "So, what will it be?"

	"Ranko, I love you.  All of you.  Including your 
male half."  Nabiki answered and kissed her.

	"Okay, then.  I'll be right back."  Ranko said and 
headed toward the door.

	"Ranko?"  Nabiki said.

	"Yes, my love?"  Ranko said, getting a blush from 
Nabiki's already flushed face.

	"I know it's late, but it's still not a good idea to walk 
around naked in a house full of people."

	"Oh!"  Ranko said and blushed.  "I forgot we 
weren't alone in the house."  she said as she grabbed the 
boxers and shirt, ignoring the giggles from Nabiki.

	"Sorry."  Nabiki said with a grin.  "Now go, and 
hurry back before I start without you."  She watched as 
Ranko left.

	"I'm back!"  Ranko-kun called out in a much deeper voice as he returned.

	"What took you so long?"  Nabiki asked.

	"I had to dry off, okay?"  Ranko said.  "I mean, you 
didn't want me to come back dripping wet, did you?"

	"Why not?  You were dripping wet when you left."

	"Well,"  Ranko said as he climbed into bed.  "I seem 
to have fixed that problem and caused another."

	"I see."  Nabiki said, looking down at the bulge in 
his shorts.  "And I expected those to fit better when you 
were a guy."

	"Well, like you said, 'We can't have just one of us 
naked, now can we?'"  Ranko said and pulled off his shirt 
and shorts.

	"Wow!"  Nabiki gasped as Ranko's erection sprang 
into view.  "Are they all that big?"

	"I'm above average, but I've seen bigger."  Ranko 
answered.

	"You realize a real man wouldn't have admitted 
that?"  Nabiki said and grabbed his member, feeling how 
hard it was.

	"So now I have to prove my manhood?"  he asked, 
and moaned as she stroked his shaft.

	"I think we'll let your manhood prove itself."  she 
said and quickly took him in her mouth.

	Ranko moaned as she gently sucked on the head of 
his penis.  He placed his hands on the back of her head and 
gently pushed, forcing more of himself into her mouth.

	Nabiki took the hint and started to bob her head up 
and down, each time taking in a little more of his erection.  
When she couldn't take anymore, she started to suck more 
forcefully and ran her tongue back and forth.

	Ranko grunted and exploded in her mouth.  He 
collapsed back on the bed as his orgasm subsided and he felt 
Nabiki release his softening member.

	Nabiki gulped as she swallowed Ranko's seed and 
crawled up to lay next to him.

	"Well, am I a man?"  Ranko asked and kissed her, 
reaching his tongue in to lick up the few drops of semen 
that remained.

	"I don't think a real man would be eager to taste 
sperm, even if it is his own."  Nabiki said after breaking the 
kiss.

	"It's an acquired taste."  Ranko said.

	"I'll bet.  Well, on with the main event."  Nabiki said 
and started to rub Ranko's penis, it's hardness rapidly 
returning under her fingers.

	Ranko rolled Nabiki on her back and lowered his 
head to suck on her right nipple.  He reached one hand up 
to caress the other breast while the other hand went down 
to play with her clit.

	Nabiki moaned as the wave of feeling washed over 
her.  She reached out and ran a hand across the hard 
muscles of Ranko's chest.

	Ranko ran a hand across Nabiki's slit to find out how 
wet she was.  Satisfied, he decided that it was time.  He 
spread her legs and placed his member at her opening.  
Gently, he pushed until the head pressed against her hymen.  
"Ready?"  he asked.

	Nabiki nodded, her need for more pleasure blocking 
out any fear she might have had.

	Ranko thrust forward hard, rupturing her barrier and 
driving himself deep inside her.  He looked down to see a 
tear roll down Nabiki's cheek.  "You gonna be okay?"  he 
asked.

	"It still hurts a bit."  Nabiki said, the pain clear in her 
voice.

	"Shh."  Ranko quieted her.  "I'll make it better."  He 
pulled out untill only the tip of his erection was inside her 
and thrust into her again.  He pulled out and thrust again, 
setting up a slow rhythm.

	Nabiki gasped as each thrust washed away the pain 
and replacing it with pleasure.  She started to raise her hips, 
matching Ranko stroke for stroke.

	After a few minutes, Ranko felt himself on the edge.  
He sped up his up his rhythm, determined to bring Nabiki 
off first.

	Nabiki felt his pace quicken and moaned. feeling the 
sensations rapidly reaching their peak.  She cried out as she 
came, soaking Ranko's shaft with her honey.

	Feeling Nabiki's body spasm around him was enough 
to send Ranko over the edge.  He gave one final thrust and 
came deep in her.  When his orgasm subsided, he collapsed 
on the bed next to Nabiki.

	Nabiki leaned over and gave Ranko a loving kiss.  
They stared into each others eyes for what seemed like an 
eternity.

	"Well, do you like me better as a boy or a girl?"  
Ranko asked.

	"I think I'll have to do more in depth research before 
I answer that."  Nabiki replied.

	"Not tonight, I hope.  I'm exhausted."  he said.

	"So am I."  she said.  "Wait here."  Nabiki got up 
and left the room.

	And she tells me to get dressed before I leave, 
Ranko thought.

	A few minutes later, Nabiki returned holding a glass 
and a towel.

	"What's that for?"  Ranko asked.

	*Splash*

	"Ow!  That's hot!"  Ranko-chan yelped.

	"Sorry."  Nabiki said and handed her the towel.

	"Why do you want me as a girl?"  Ranko asked.  "I 
thought we were done for the night."

	"With sex, yes."  Nabiki answered.  "But you are 
much softer like this."  She hopped into bed and cuddled up 
next to the girl.

	"I think I see your point."  Ranko said and flipped 
the light switch by the bed.  "Good night."

	"Good night."  Nabiki said.  "Ranko?"

	"Yes?"

	"I love you."

	"I love you, too, Nabiki."


	To be continued...


Well that's it for my first fanfic attempt.

I know it's long and it drags (that's what she said) but I 
didn't want Ranko to just show up at the dojo and than have 
Nabiki jump her.

Send any comments to MrNuke999@aol.com  Avoid flames 
though, because they will only encourage me.

I'll start writing the next chapter after I get a few responses 
to this one.  Speaking of which:

Next Episode:  Someone finds out about our new lovers.  
One of the goddesses arrive as promised, and beats the crap 
out of someone.  And we learn that you should never drink 
anything given to you by a love goddess in training.  See 
you next time for 'Lemon Tea'.
