The gateway to the Kuno compound opened wide, and three very satisfied girls strode on out. One might expect their hair to be matted and their clothes dishevelled, but if that is what you thought then you should know by now that Tatewaki Kuno was too much of a gentleman to send his women out into public in such a state. They were all bathed, their clothes pressed and their eyes glazed over.
"Looks like your mom is staying overnight," Ukyo sighed, and the other two joined suit shortly thereafter.
"Yeah..." Ranma and Akane said.
Worth noting at this time. The events of Ranma and Akane's life tended a bit more towards the slapstick and ridiculous under normal conditions. However, of late, things were operating under quite different rules. The NTR ring had shifted things considerably into the favour of one normally bumbling buffoon by the name of Tatewaki Kuno, turning him into a playboy unparalleled even when compared to the exaggerated image held by some of Ranma Saotome (male form).
The ring had now fallen off his finger. Its magic no longer aided him. The power of NTR no longer compelled girls to lust over him or for boys to feel hopeless envy. It would no longer twist events to match his favour. The universe was pushing back its rules, back towards those more similar to a wacky romantic comedy.
But there was one catch.
"I think we can safely say that I won our contest," Ranma said, smug and sure in her victory. Watch carefully now, as time progresses and they walk further away from the Kuno estate, all three girls adopted gaits more in line with their more usual personalities. "He definitely likes me more."
"Honestly, is that all you're thinking about at a time like this?" Akane huffed.
"You're just mad 'cause you lost," Ranma said. Earning herself a tweaked ear in the process.
"One, I didn't lose," Akane said. "I don't think any of us lost tonight... Two, instead of gloating about a win that didn't happen, we should be setting up a rota. We can't all be dating Kuno all the time. Right?"
"Well, I wouldn't mind sharing him with Ranchan," Ukyo said, hugging onto the pigtailed girl's arm.
You can see what's happening, of course? The universe was indeed resetting to its default state of romantic comedy... but the deep satisfying dicking these three girls had received had rather altered their priority a bit. Ranma was going back to 'her' competitiveness, Akane was being her usual impatient tsundere, and Ukyo's crush on Ranma was rekindling - except that all three were happening in a new light. The light of Kuno being a supernaturally good lover.
“Hrm.. dating, think we could sneak some aphrodisiac or love drug into his food instead?” Ranma asked, not quite sure what to think of spending time with Kuno <i>that didn’t</i> involve wild, hot and steamy sex.
Another truth that was reasserting itself. Tatewaki Kuno was one of the most annoying people in the entirety of Nerima. And that was quite impressive given some of the people the ward housed. Sure, the three of them weren’t going to let that stop them from getting some of that tail, but just because part 1 is awesome doesn’t make part 2 not suck.
"You know, I think you should be the main wife," Ranma idly said. "Uchan and I can be his mistresses."
"Says you!" Akane replied. “You’re the one who he’s got the most hots for, you marry him and deal with that!”
“You’re the one he turned half the school on to try get your attention. He just got weird about me when I kicked his ass.”
True love. Isn't it grand?
"Guys, guys!" Ukyo interrupted. "Relax a bit. Okay? No need for any of us to be his main wife. He can marry Nodoka."
"Huh, then you'd be able to call Kuno 'daddy'," Akane said.
Two conflicting mental images entered Ranma’s mind. The first was her calling him “daddy” in a school girl uniform while he for some reason had a mustache, pipe, and was sitting on a chair reading a newspaper. That one sucked. The other one was her calling him “daddy” while naked and in the bedroom. That one was more fun, if still a little weird. But they had all long since hopped on the weirdness train and there was no terminus off that track.
<hr>
Ah, Nodoka felt lightheaded. Elation filled her from head to toe as she wandered around Tatewaki's bedroom, naked and feeling not a bit of shame. It felt to her as though her life finally made sense. She had met her son - turned - daughter and the two of them had found their rightful place at the side of a wonderful, wonderful man.
Now. For the time being he was attending to other matters. Which was all well and good. Even he must take time to replenish his stamina, after all. It gave her the chance to finalise some important documents... Although, it did raise the question of safe storage for these important documents.
Stretching out her limbs, Nodoka decided to wander around a little more. This place was likely to become her new home in a more formal sense very soon, so it would only do to make sure she knew her way around.
As she passed Kodachi's bedroom, she heard a loud smack followed by a shriek.
"Ohhhhh god yessssss! Again Mistress Kodachi! Again!"
Well, that sounded like exactly none of her business. What Kodachi did with her servants was her business alone. Especially since they were clearly enjoying themselves.
What had her attention a little more was the strange sound coming from the kitchen. On investigating, Nodoka found a familiar face. Or rather, a familiar beast. A black and white creature sitting in front of the fridge with its face covered in cream as it hungrily wolfed down whatever it could get its hands on.
"Bad panda!" Nodoka whapped its head with a towel. "Bad! Shoo, shoo! Nobody wants you around!"
Deep breath now. Deep breath. But then Nodoka suddenly remembered something. She'd been wondering where to keep this safe, right? For some reason - a leap in logic that still didn't make any sense to her - handing these papers over to the panda for safekeeping made total and complete sense.
"Here, can you keep hold of these for me Mr. Panda?" she asked. "They are my divorce papers. I’m sure you can pass them to my husband once he comes back from his training trip.” She patted the panda on the head. “If you do a good job I’ll give you some nice bamboo.”
"Growf..." Mr. Panda lowered his head and sadly took the papers. Ah, he must be upset that she had interrupted his feeding. Well, if he'd learned to ask nicely then maybe she'd have let him have something to eat.
Of course she had no way of knowing that this chain of events was being caused by an intersection of NTR and comedy rules agreeing on a given outcome. But hey, who ever is aware of the rules of their reality shifting around?
<hr>
Tatewaki Kuno felt... Fantastic. Could you blame him? How are you supposed to feel after vigorous love making with four beautiful yet distinct women? How are you supposed to feel after the loves of your life finally return your affections, after playing hard to get for so, so long?
Afterglow wasn't the word. He felt positively radiant. Nuclear may be the best way to describe it.
"The Blue Thunder's glory is finally at hand!" he declared, raising his fist to the air. "Now that the vile twisted magic of Ranma Saotome has been dispelled, I can finally share my affections with all four of them at once! Hark, world! You shall hold me back no -"
Then because the world was becoming a romantic comedy again, he slipped on a bit of spilled water and tumbled down the room before landing in a heap.
"Nobody saw that so it doesn't count," Kuno wisely said. He picked himself up, and found himself looking in a mirror hanging in the hallway. "Why, who is this handsome devil? Might it be? An Adonis? Nay. Perhaps a stallion, or Casanova reincarnate. Hah! No, those names and titles bear no measure to that of Tatewaki Kuno!"
You can understand why neither Ranma, Akane nor Ukyo wanted to be the main bride a bit more clearly now. Guy might be a god in bed, but spending time outside that with him is probably one of the crueller slow tortures out there. Surprised it's not on the Geneva convention yet.
“Haha, I cannot wait to once again meet these sweet beauties. Oh, I must make plans for the future, only the best is good enough for them!” Already he was imagining himself going to movies with them, or visiting high-class restaurants. Perhaps he could even organize a ball, after all, no woman would not want to wear a beautiful dress and dance with him! “Oh, but who would get the first dance? Truly a question of extreme importance!”
- He could not choose. He would have to dance with them all at once! Which only goes to show how some things might never change.
- Half a year later, what's the new status quo?
- Ranma and Akane arrive back at the Tendo residence
- Since he's apparently now the main character of a slapstick romcom, Kuno has to deal with that kind of nonsense now.
- Something else
Again, well done. A few comments:
ReplyDelete- "The NTR ring had shifted things considerably into the favour of one normally bumbling buffoon by the name of Tatewaki Kuno, turning he into playboy unparalleled even when compared to the exaggerated image held by some of Ranma Saotome (male form)." Should be "turning him into a playboy"
- "Ah, Nodoka felt light headed." Should be "lightheaded".
- "She patted the panda on the head, 'If you do a good job I’ll give you some nice bamboo.'" Should be "She patted the panda on the head. 'If you do a good job I’ll give you some nice bamboo.'"
- "or visiting high class restaurants." More like "high-class".
