Okay, so everyone at home knew they did the deed. Big deal. It wasn't a problem, not at all if they knew. So what? It was a one off thing, it wasn't going to happen again, it wasn't as if he'd ever do something like that with such a violent girl simply because it didn't suit her to see her make that face she made when they were really getting into it.
"Hey, Ranma buddy!" Hiroshi said, slapping Ranma on the shoulder right as he was walking onto the school grounds. "No Akane today?"
"Shampoo had stuff to take care of at home," Ranma said. "I mean, it's not like we're always together so why do you even comment on it?"
"Never mind that then," Hiroshi said. The other boy looked around and leaned in close. "You got some last night, didn't you?"
"G-Got some?" Ranma repeated back. Oh no, was there some kind of tell? He wasn't very good at bluffing, so maybe there was something on his face that gave it away.
"You know," Hiroshi said, a bit insistently. That was the problem, Ranma was worried that <i>he</i> knew. Was he going to get grilled on what it was like being inside a chick? Or maybe questions about the cute noises Shampoo made, the things in Chinese and Japanese that she alternated whispering in his ear? How her strong body had somehow become much more delicate in his embrace, her usual ferocious, often clumsy strength transforming into - "The comics I was talking about the other day? You said you were gonna pick some up last night. Did you get some?"
Grk! "No, I forgot, something else came up," Ranma groused. "I'll get 'em tonight."
Thank goodness, that was all in his head. That would be the last thing he needed, he still remembered that time right after the Martial Arts Cheerleading Contest. It took almost a month before the rumours died down, if those flared up again because they had <i>actually</i> done the deed... it didn't bear thinking about!
"You got lucky, Saotome!" Sayuri said, suddenly popping in on the other side of him. Gah! Was he really so preoccupied that an ordinary person could pop in on the other side of him that easily?!
Wait... Got lucky? Is that what she said? As in, got lucky the euphamism for sex? His face fell, of course a girl would be able to tell that sort of thing easily. Weren't they notorious gossips? Sayuri in particular would have her ear to the ground for that sort of thing because of her, ahem, 'uncredited artwork' that everyone actually knew was done by her. Oh no! The very idea of her using them as inspiration for that art filled him with dread, people all over school and maybe beyond that would be using them as fap material!
"Miss Hinako is off sick, so you get an extra day for that late assignment," Sayuri said. "Lucky, lucky you." She patted him on the cheek, “Since I know you probably forgot it.”
Oh, phew, it felt like he'd dodged a bullet there. Much the same way that he dodged those hair clippers trying to take his pigtail away! Aha, he might have made that mistake once with his danger sense, but not a second time!
"No, no, kiki, you should play it safe!" babbled a lunatic in a haiwaian shirt, but why be redundant. Principal Kuno was his usual self: Abnormal beyond all belief. He rushed forward with those clippers with that weird style he had where he seemed slower and clumsier than he really was, but he was actually trying to control your movements to make it harder to dodge him. Ranma <i>still</i> hadn't quite worked out how he did it, because it was too esoteric even for him. "You be playing dangerous game, always be playing it safe ya?"
Play it safe...? As in, safe sex? True enough he didn't want to start a family with Shampoo or anything like that, they were both too young - and it wasn't like he wanted to start up anything with Shampoo anytime in the future, neither! Still, getting sex advice from Principal Kuno was the worst, grossest feeling that Ranma could put to name. In fact, knowing how this man thought he was probably going to bring out a roll of condoms and try to use them to tie Ranma up, or something equally daft and random -
"You no be runnin' on top of da fences from now on!" the Principal yelled, pulling out a pineapple bomb. "Dat too dangerous, setting bad example, ya?"
Ah. Okay. Alright. That was what he meant. That was perfectly fine. Perfectly reasonable. Before the Principal could throw that pineapple bomb Ranma had already grabbed it from him, tucked it into the jerk's shirt and punted him away. (Several passing students held up signs with scores of“10/9/9/7” as the bomb exploded in the air, the guy holding up 7 was Gosunkugi.) Might seem a bit harsh, but trust him on this that family was cursed with invincibility or something.
"Saotome! I strike!"
Invincibility coupled with insanity. Tatewaki Kuno's sword swung down viciously right where Ranma had been standing, and while it didn't touch the pavement the sheer force from it split the concrete hard enough to kick up a chunk of it as shards of dust and debris that might as well have been their own attack. Never one to give up that easily, Kuno moved in with his bokken to throw out a further ten strikes in the blink of an eye, all of which were easily dodged by Ranma because by this point he'd moved so far past this annoying swordsman that it wasn't even funny. Like, a couple months back he'd fought a multi-headed dragon and two weeks before that he'd fought essentially a dragon in human form in a battle that brought down a mountain.
In comparison, even with his watermelon splitting technique that had once seemed a tough fight, Ranma didn't even rate this punk anymore.
"Hi Kuno," Ranma casually said while dodging attacks. "How'd I piss you off this time? I don't actually care, but Kasumi asked me to keep a tally." While not a fighter herself the eldest Tendo sister did like to keep track of fights for fun.
"You know what you did, you knave!" Kuno yelled, pushing on with renewed vigour, doubled speed, to which Ranma yawned and wondered if he could actually beat this guy in his sleep at this point. "Despoiling the fine Akane Tendo as you have cannot be forgiven!"
Despoiling...? Wait... Kuno was in the same class as Nabiki, and he could readily believe that she'd spill the beans on -
...
What was he thinking, Tatewaki Kuno was delusional to the point of absurdity. Even cloud cuckoo landers would listen to this guy and wonder what the hell he'd been smoking.
"Despoil this!" Shampoo yelled, rushing in and punting Kuno off into the horizon (given perfect tens this time around. Come on, how was that better than his?!) "Honestly, I don't know what gets into his head sometimes."
"Yeah," Ranma muttered, staring at the girl that had rushed in, interfering in his... well, that wasn't fair. It wasn't really a fight. "I wonder... what... goes into..." You know, now that he was looking, that uniform suited her really well. Stupidly well. You couldn't exactly make out her figure or anything, it was designed to be a bit too loose for that. Still, something about the way that she carried herself. Confident. Tough. Unobtainable.
Except he had “obtained” her last night. His gaze travelled down that skirt, that went down to her ankle. Nothing there for the imagination to latch onto, but when she'd delivered that kick he got a little bit of an eyeful.
"And what do you want?" Shampoo huffed ,turning around to glare at him.
Creeeeeeak, snap. "Nothing, just wondering why you had to butt into my fight like that."
Then he strode off inside wondering why the hell he said that when he should be carrying her inside and sexing her. Sexing her hard. But he need not have worried, because she kept pace with him easily.
"Excuse me? He's spreading rumours about my honour, so that was as much my fight as it was yours!" She let out a sly smile, “If anything I’m the one who’d defile <b>you.”</b> She said in a much lower voice.
Snap. Snap. Snap. His pace sped up, hers increased to match it.
"Oh yeah? Why'd I want to let some macho chick like you?"
"I don't know. Why don't you ask the other boys in class? They seem to like what I've got going on."
"Blegh! I'm not the other boys in class," Ranma stuck out his tongue. "I have to live with you, so I see a lot of stuff that they don't."
"Oh really? What sort of stuff might that be? Wait... this isn't the way to -"
Ranma pushed her inside the gym storage shed, shut the door behind them and hugged her from behind.
"Listen, don't get any funny ideas," Ranma said. "I'm just proving a point. Got it?"
"Prove all the points you want, idiot-airen!"
<hr>
“Oh my goddddddd why is he still doing this act.” Akane groaned.
“It’s just how he is.” Shampoo said, and the two halves sighed happily as she started getting worked over by her fiance. "Ohhh, he can do this act forever if he keeps on doing this."
"You got over your insecurities fast," Akane observed.
"First time is a bit rough, this time I can relax and enjoy the ride a bit more."
"At school, though...?" Akane asked. "I don't know that seems a little - never mind, we can make a habit out of this if he wants!"
Both residents of this soul had to brace themselves at this point. Ranma was turning out to be quite an enthusiastic lover when his switch was flipped. This was something they both admired about him, in a way. When it came to physical learning he was an absolute natural.
<hr>
Meanwhile, by the school entrance, Hiroshi tutted as he and Sayuri watched Ranma and Akane head off in the wrong direction to class.
"Man they're totally banging," Sayuri whispered.
"Yeah, they're definitely banging," Hiroshi whispered back. "Probably shouldn't say anything though."
"Makes sense," Sayuri nodded. "You know how they are. But seriously, could they be a little less obvious about it?"
"If they were less obvious about it, they wouldn't be them in the first place," Hiroshi said.
"I'm more thinking about how Ukyo will react when she finds out!"
Hiroshi's face fell. "Well, shoot. Better change my lunch plans for the next month. Shame too, the new waitress was super cute."
Sayuri nodded enthusiastically. "Oh god, I know, I'd bang him in a heartbeat, it's such a shame Akane's got him in her harem already."
"Yeah... Wait, him? Doesn't Konatsu identify as female?" Hiroshi asked, and then the two of them wandered off debating the little information they'd gleaned about Konatsu, in an attempt to figure out which of them was gay for crushing on her.
At the very least it was a safer topic of conversation than the fact that their friends were banging in the school's gym storage shed before class.
- Ukyo begins operation "Seduce Ranma".
- ... But discovers that she's a bit too late.
- Nodoka shows up to make life a little bit harder without meaning to.
- Meanwhile, Konatsu completely accidentally seduces Ukyo.
- Something else
