Story: LS Ranma

“Picking a fiancee for me without even asking!” The pigtailed girl shouted at, of all things, a panda. The question of why a panda was arranging a marriage for a girl was one the crowd wouldn’t get answers to. The two of them were running pretty fast through the streets, and quite frankly getting in their way to ask seemed kind of rude, you know?

Besides which, the way that the two of them were attacking each other while engaging in this high speed chase was setting off all sorts of alarm bells for the watcher's survival instinct. Yeah, no. Let's not have anything to do with that. Enjoy the spectacle, keep our distance and then think about it later on when it was safe. Only a lunatic would want anything to do with that hot mess.

Only a lunatic... or a shard of immensely powerful sapphic delight seeking a host within this reality. The girl didn’t even quite notice the flash of light or the small multi colored crystal impacting her head. Probably because the stop sign swung by the panda was more noticable.

'Alright, this girl seems pretty good,' the shard thought to itself. 'Cute face, extremely desirable body... Already been subjected to some kind of magic, so it should be easier to mould her to my purposes. And she was yelling about being set up with a wife for some reason, so there's probably some burgeoning lesbian tendencies in there somewhere. Couldn't have picked a better girl if I'd tried!'

The Lesbian Shard hasn’t quite realized that this sector of the multiverse ran on irony. It would realize it soon enough.

<hr>

All things considered things could be worse. When Ranma had first heard about this engagement, she had imagined - ahem - much less pretty and nice girls than the Tendos had turned out to be. With the way her old mans plans went Ranma expected at best a group of horrible sisters with an evil stepmother, maybe one good daughter which they’d hide away. (In a distant teahouse Konatsu sneezed for some reason, and then apologized to the empty room.).

The lesbian shard within Ranma was also pretty happy with this turn of events. Oh, sure. That guy with the moustache was against the lesbian wedding idea for now. Bigot that he was. But his opinion didn't matter much in the longer term. All three sisters were pretty promising. The pretty housewife type would probably be the hardest to convert, but the other two were basically half-way to lesbiandom as was. That Nabiki girl literally groping Ranma gave it a chance to push a bit of its power into her, so now the middle sister would have a dream about how good the cute pigtailed girl’s chest was.

And then there was Akane. The shard had felt Ranma pulled to the girl with her offer of friendship. She wasn’t quite the butch type, but not quite feminine. But the shard, very in-tune to potential lesbian feelings, had sensed Akane’s frustration with boys. Good, they were useless except as sperm banks before magic babies could be made. The biggest hint at her future, in the shard’s opinion, had been her saying <i>“Well I’m just glad you’re a girl.”</i>

“Man… “ Ranma said aloud, “That Akane girl... Glad I’m a girl. Great.” Oh right the Shards thoughts must have bled a bit into Ranma. Odd, she sounded resigned and frustrated at Akane being happy Ranma was a girl. "Oh well, better get this over with."

Cue Ranma Saotome stripping down. Aha. Now, the shard hadn't really had much of a chance to really think about what this cutie was wearing, so it used her eyes to take a look. First of all, at the body. It was even more delightful than the shard had first realised. Mmph! With a figure like that, she may not even need to do all that much to bring the girls around. If only she wasn't wearing such baggy clothing...

And boxer shorts?

B-Boxer shorts?! What madness was this? A cute girl like this wearing something so distinctly unfeminine? When she was already wearing trousers? It made sense if she was wearing a skirt, especially a short one. It would keep dirty perverted boys from getting peeks at things they were not meant to see. But trousers? That made no sense! She was far too cute and girly looking to pull off such a butch look! Oh yes it needed to make sure this sweetheart got herself some proper underwear. The Shard would guide her to be more comfortable with proper feminine articles.

"Well, better get this over with," Ranma sighed. She'd scrubbed herself down with cold water already, removing all the sweat and dirt. Now she was getting into the hot water for a nice relaxing soak. Yes, that was good. That kind of state of mind would make her much more pliable to the shard's suggestions and -

...

'I have made a <i>terrible</i> mistake'.

Unclean! Unclean! Never before in history had the act of a hot bath made anything feel so... so dirty and unclean before! Not in all of creation! Even if this had been a mud bath, or if the water had been heavily polluted would it cause this kind of revulsion in a sentient being. The lesbian shard... had somehow bonded to a man!

And, to its lamentation, the shard could tell that this was the kind of man that straight woman would swoon over at first sight. While it did not appreciate such things itself, it had a pretty good idea of what straight woman went for. It had to: How else could it seduce them? The face was ideally handsome, the slender musculature was exactly the kind of thing to get a girl's motor going... Ugh! This was <i>gross</i> beyond words!

But it was also too late now. The shard had bonded with this... Ranma Saotome. This man. Ugh! How terrible! How sickening! How... How intriguingly useful...

Okay. So. Let's review. This man was a girl. A really cute girl. Then she changed into a man. There must be some kind of transformation magic at work here. Right? Right! Which meant there was opportunity here. Yes! Opportunity! If it could somehow, some way, figure out how exactly this transformation worked it could maybe induce it in other men. Rid the world of the male gender entirely, leaving nothing but cute sexy girls behind! A foolproof scheme! Hahaha!

Then the dividing door to the bath came open, and Akane was standing there. With nothing but a towel covering her fit, healthy, sexy body. Normally the shard would be all over that, but right now...

<i>Who am I kidding this was a horrible idea.</i>

<hr>

Note to self: Never say that your body is better built than another girl’s, it just leads to them getting mad and beaning you over the head with a table. Ranma filed this lesson away in her mind as she woke up.

In her head, or soul, or whatever, the Lesbian Shard was trying to do damage control. OK so cold water makes her a girl, hot water changes her back. It could work with that. But now how to get Akane and the rest of the girls to see Ranma as the cute girl she should be instead of a perverted boy!?

Also Genma Saotome is an idiot even among men, but that was rather inconsequential for the immediate future. The shard did have a rather more immediate goal right now, and had noticed it was operating under some severe limitations.

Firstly: Its powers only worked while Ranma was a girl. It had tried and tried and tried to do something, anything at all, that would have any appreciable impact on the Tendo sisters... to no avail. Only when she was a girl could she do anything. Even get a feel for the sort of things they liked. It was really quite frustrating: The only thing it could do was observe the world through Ranma's limited male senses. To which the only sensible thing to say is yeuch!

"Huh, you took that table like a champ," Nabiki commented. Aha! Normally the shard was all for a slow burn, but it would be impossible to plan things long term like this. Uh... Let's see. It could... give her an urge to grope Ranma again! Yeah, that's the ticket. The girl slowly blinked and tilted her head. "You know, I still can't get over that change..." she said, scooting forward with her hand outstretched.

"Yeah, well you'd better get used to it," Ranma sniffed, batting her hand away. Ah! No! Let her cop a feel!

“I’m impressed how real they felt.” Nabiki added.

“They are real! My body turns into a girl.” Ranma huffed. “Like I said, I can see a girl’s body whenever I like.”

“But it’s a bit different than seeing another girls’ body.” Kasumi said, “I’m sure Akane will understand if you apologize though.”

‘Yes! Apologize to her!’ The shard thought, tragically it could feel Ranma’s pride rising up. She’d rather be right and angry than wrong and happy. Wonderful. Pride wasn't an easy emotion to turn into lesbian lust.

Well, the best thing for it to do would be to find Akane and ease her into finding Ranma's girl form attractive and appealing. The girl was halfway to lesbian already, so it should not actually be too challenging. All it had to do was find her while Ranma was still a -

"I'll head to the bathroom to change back," Ranma said, kipping up to her feet. Nooooo, stay a girl it's so much better like this! While Ranma did hesitate for a moment mid-stride it wasn't enough. Too much of her identity was tied up to being a guy! Blast it! Not so soon! Not yet! Ooh, this situation was intolerable. If only it had picked a better target. One of the Tendo girls, or some other girl on the street. But nooooo, she had to go for the busty petite redhead with the cute pigtail, being chased down by a panda!

It was torture watching this girl strip down again, knowing it would become the hard body of a boy before long. Yeuch! The shard braced itself for the worst. Nothing to do now but wait until this boy got splashed yet again.

Then the screen door slid open once again and hello there! Akane, once again in nothing but a poorly concealing towel. Quite a sight and the shard felt Ranma’s heart speed up at the sight. Hah! And she said seeing a naked girl wasn’t a big deal.



Well, Akane sure seemed to get that it was a big deal. The way she lifted that hand made it pretty obvious she was gearing up a nice hard slap - Wait, no! Ranma's hand instinctively moved up, blocking the incoming slap with ease. Phew, the pigtailed girl/boy was so caught off guard by sudden naked boobage (which had been called flat earlier, but they weren't much smaller than Ranma's) that she'd have let that one through.

But here was a chance! The Lesbian Shard sent some pulses of attraction through the physical contact to Akane. So the two ended up staring at each other. Or rather, staring at their boobs. Both sets of which were damn fine. Ooh yeah, this is the stuff! Mutual attraction between two girls!

Now, let's see how much we can push them together. It was moving things a little bit further, much faster than normal but when needs must. The two girls began to lean in, a little bit closer, a little bit closer and then -

Crack!

Oof! That girl had a wicked hard head! When the shard said to go for a kiss, it didn't mean one of the Glasgow variety.

"You might be a girl, but you're still a pervert!" Akane sniffed, gathering up her towel and storming out of the room.

"Wh-who would want to peek on a girl like you?!" Ranma yelled after her. The shard knew the answer to that one right away. And if it had anything to say on the matter, that person would be peeking in on Akane a lot more in the near future... while in girl form, that is.

1. Ranma gets splashed on the way to school the next day. Somehow the Shard manages to get Ranma to go to school as a girl, and thus must always be a girl at school.
2. Unfortunately it’s not for a few weeks until the Shard can have enough Girl time to get some influence in. Good thing another cute girls showed up to help
3. Meanwhile, Nabiki is in her room. She feels... funny.
4. That night, Ranma has an odd dream.Something else
