Time was, the prospect of heading out on a date with Akane would have filled Ranma with a special sort of dread. You know, the sort that a strong martial artist can't really deal with using their fists: Societal pressure!
Normally he'd be afraid that they'd be seen together by people they knew. People who would <i>misunderstand</i> the nature of their relationship. They weren't interested in each other! No, no! Just because they were out on a date didn't mean they were dating! And so forth.
"Woo! I win again!" Akane cheered, fist pumping the air with one hand and tossing a plush toy to Ranma with the other. "Now, you guys. I know you didn't rig these machines to ensure I won every time. Remember? It has to <i>mean</I> something when I win."
"Oh no, Lady Akane!" one of the owners said to the floor. Man, that bow was <b>steep!</b> "We would never insult your skill by fixing the machines to allow you to win every time! You really and truly are this skilled!"
Ranma knew from his days with just her and herold man that the machines were usually rigged the other way. So all they had to do was make them fair and Akane would win more often than not. Ah the art of lying without lying. Akane looked disturbingly cute like this, happily playing games and cuddling the monkey doll she won earlier.
"Y-Your magnificence, I can carry those for you!" an employee said.
This earned said employee a death glare from Akane. As in, the plant behind him wilted away.
"My man is the only one who gets to touch my prizes," Akane said. Then she turned away, and with remarkable speed kissed Ranma on the cheek. Now Ranma's knees were wilting. "Both my cuddly toys and my... Cuddly toys!" That little laugh she gave was the most scarousing thing Ranma had ever heard.
"Uh... Akane, if we're getting something to eat, won't I need to put these down?"
"Of course not," Akane replied. "I'll be feeding you. Personally. Du-um-my."
She bopped her on the nose. Playfully bopped her on the nose, much to the horror of the arcade staff. D-Dammit, why did she have to be so cute like this? She shouldn't be finding her cute, Akane was an evil villainess who used to be an uncute sexless tomboy! Ranma knew she shouldn't be drooling over her... But goddamn, someone taught that tomboy how to work it.
"In the meantime, why don't you sit and watch me play my favourite game."
And that teacher was the best in human history. This entire experience was surreal. It felt like Akane Tendo of all people was completely in control over the situation through sheer sex appeal, to the point that Ranma didn't even want to fight it anymore.
"Here you go, please sit here while I play," Akane said.
"Thanks," Ranma said, taking her seat while still balancing a fairly large pile of plushies. Really now, she should stop getting distracted. What she ought to be doing right now was figuring out how the hell Ranma Saotome was, apparently, some kind of Demon Lord who had conquered the entire world! Yeah, that sort of took priority. Didn't entirely seem in character for -
Hey, wait a minute. This seat was directly in front of a game. How was she supposed to watch Akane play from -
And then Akane took her seat. Namely, Ranma's lap. She wriggled abit to get comfortable, which made Ranma really glad she wasn't a male. If any thoughts were remaining in Ranma's head about Akane having no sex appeal, they promptly burned up.
"There we go," Akane wiggled around some more. "My favourite seat... Well, second favourite, but we can fix that with a dose of hot water."
“In public?!” A voice that only dogs should have been able to hear came out of Ranma’s throat.
Akane laughed and started playing the game. Well. One thing about the tomboy hadn't changed at all. She didn't do things by half measures. She threw herself into the game wholeheartedly, getting immediately invested and putting a lot of energy into it. Which meant lots of bouncing around. In Ranma's lap. The pigtailed overlord whimpered at the impromptu lapdance.
It didn’t help that the entire staff of the arcade and all their guests were staring. Ah! Ranma was feeling those old instincts flaring up again! It was even weirder this time, because Akane was being super affectionate in a really out there way!
"Is something wrong?" Akane asked. "You're usually a lot more into this. You're not getting bored are you?"
"Noooo..." Ranma whimpered. She honestly doubted she could ever get bored of this.
"Weird. You're acting like you did on our first date... Oh! I see, it's roleplay time. Shall we go back to when we were a pair of tsundere prudes? Mmmm... Sounds hot!"
"You remember our first date?" Ranma blurted out without meaning to. Ah! Stupid mouth, running away from her again!
"Mmm... yeah, how could I ever forget?" Akane asked, pressing back into Ranma even more intensely now. "You looked sooooo smart in that tuxedo. We went out to the park for a nice quiet stroll, then wound up getting attacked by a gang of muggers and a temporally confused demon." She sighed dreamily. "So romantic!"
"What was romantic about that?!" Ranma yelped.
"Oh, you kidder!" Akane giggled. "You were so upset when the demon torched the flowers you gave me. In fact, you were angrier than I was! You then bound it to a cursed sword and threw it to the bottom of the ocean. So cool…”
Since when could she bind things to swords?! Was that a thing she learned to do in this missing memory gap?! This raised more questions than it did answers!
"And then you took me home and... took me."
Akane shuddered so hard it probably caused an earthquake. Not that Ranma would notice. She'd gone cross eyed. It was a miracle she was able to keep all these plushies steady. “As we cuddled, you told me about your dreams. How rotten the world was… ahh… that was the night we first hatched this wonderful world we’ve now created.” The game’s screen flashed with Akane hitting the boss of the stage, “Are you feeling nostalgic Ranma?”
She was feeling all kinds of things right now. Nostalgia wasn't one of them.
So... apparently after their first time together the two of them hatched a scheme to take over the world? That didn't sound like Ranma, but you know what? She could believe that something possessed her to make her do that. Akane though? Nah, something like a good lay wouldn't be enough!
Or... would it? Let's be honest here. Ranma knew that she would be an amazing lay. Er, that is, her regular form would probably be pretty good at this whole sex thing. Maybe she blew Akane's mind so much that it made her crazy?
Wait... no, that sounded more like one of those crummy hentai doujinshi Happosai kept on trying to read him as bedtime stories in the middle of the night.
"Man... there had to be some other reason you decided to take over the world..." Ranma mumbled.
"Well, I was a little hesitant at first," Akane admitted. "Then you dumped some cold water on your head and worked very hard to change my mind."
Wait... seriously? That was it?! Ranma had sexed Akane into becoming a mad henchwoman/wife to a demon lord?! Using... using both boy and girl form?! She opened her mouth to point out how stupid that was. Fortunately for the sake of Ranma's normal foot in mouth syndrome, she was interrupted by a suddenly extremely horny tomboy turning around in her seat to tackle her to the ground.
It was a tragedy. Plushies went everywhere.
"Mmm... All this talk of the past..."
"Uh... Akane, you realise we're out in public?" Ranma protested.
"Oh! Stop!" Akane gasped. She then tore open her shirt and - gosh, she sure as heck wasn't flat chested. Not by a mile. "You're setting off my exhibitionist fetish!"
"Since when did you have a -" Ranma started to ask, and then entered into marshmallow hell.
All things considered Ranma kind of preferred the days when she was all shy and in denial about her relationship with Akane. At the very least a sensible reaction was within the realm of possibility!
- Suddenly the arcade is attacked by resistance members
- Akane accidentally gives a bit more useful information to Ranma about what happened.
- Meanwhile, Kasumi explores.
- The rest of Ranma's girls get up to mischief.
- Turns out Nabiki is up to something. What?
- Something else
"She wriggled abit to get comfortable, which made Ranma really glad she was a male." Is this supposed to read wasn't?
