Okay I'm back with Part 2! Gee don't sound so happy. ^_^ Anyways if you're reading this I hope that means you've read Part 1 and liked it enough to come back. If you did I hope you enjoy part two. I'm not sure how long this fanfic will last, part wise, but it will be ending. It will not be an onging series and will have a definite, more or less, ending. I am estimating around 8 parts but this is a rough estimate and will definitely change. Just to get this out of the way all the Ranma 1/2 characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi and I make no claim to them whatsoever. Any thing not belonging to her or any other fanfic author's belongs to me! Please don't use them without my permission but I am easygoing so if you ask nicely I'll probably let you. Anyways enough of this preamble on with the story!
~The Desire Doll~
~Part 2~
(Fade in to the Tendo's living room. We see the whole family sitting around the room including Shampoo, Ryouga and Harumoni. Ryouga is actually lying down covered in a blanket still passed out while Harumoni is sitting by his side tending to him. Shampoo is sitting off to one side with the pieces of the doll carefully putting it back together with industrial strength glue. Akane is switching back and forth from glaring at Ranma to looking in concern and confusion to Harumoni and Ryouga. Ranma is sitting looking guilty and angry as well. Soun and Genma sit nearby by the shogi board, not playing a game for once, thinking about the situation. Kasumi is sitting on the opposite side of Ryouga helping Harumoni and smiling. Nabiki is sitting pretending to watch the television while listening to everyone.)
Harumoni:(While changing the damp cloth on Ryouga's head.)Oh I hope father's alright. He isn't usually this emotional back home.
Kasumi:I wouldn't worry Haru-chan. Ryouga is a very strong person. He'll be alright.
Akane:Yeah Harumoni. Ryouga will be just fine.
Ranma:Ryouga's got to have the hardest head I ever saw, next to Kuno. A little feinting won't hurt him.(He laughs a bit and then stops seeing the glare he's getting from Harumoni.)
Harumoni:(Growls low.)You shut up you no good filth! You're lucky I'm even letting you in the same house as my father! He's twice the man you are you....half breed pervert!
(Ranma blinks too shocked at this to respond.)
Akane:Harumoni! Don't say things like that about Ranma. Why are you so angry with him anyways? What did he do?
Harumoni:(Lowers her head.)Sorry Mom. I keep forgetting I'm in the past now.(Sighs a bit.)What did he do?!?! That...traitor. What hasn't he done?! He's always harassing you and Dad and attacking with that nut he calls a wife. He nearly killed Grandfather five years ago!(She points to Soun.)
(Everyone blinks and looks to Soun. Then all eyes turn to Ranma.)
Ranma:(Swallows.)What? I didn't do anything!!! This is in the future! I haven't done anything!!
Nabiki:Yet.(Lightly glaring at Ranma.)
Ranma:(He groans and puts his head in his hands. Suddenly he looks up and over to Shampoo.)Shampoo!! Help me out here. We went to a whole lot of different futures right? The one Harumoni's from might not even be our real one right?!
Shampoo:(Looks up and then around feeling a little nervous under all the eyes on her.)It possible Ranma....
Ranma:There ya see!?
Shampoo:...but Shampoo think we see real future.(She finishes not liking the words one bit.)
(Ranma groans again and looks on the verge of tears.)
Soun:(He clears his throat.)Excuse me. I believe it would be rather unfair to Ranma to judge him on actions he hasn't even done yet. Also if you are from the future Harumoni then by telling us this should change it yes?
Harumoni:Hmmm. Maybe Grandfather.(She pauses and looks at Genma and then back to Soun.)Grandfather how come you never told me you knew Mayor Saotome?
(Akane, Nabiki and Soun facefault.)
Nabiki:M...M...Mayor?!
Soun:S...Saotome?!
Genma:(Blinks looking rather nervous.)Uhhh....ummmm....(Suddenly grins and holds the front of his gi like a polatician.)Well I...always knew I was destined for greatness.
Ranma:(Spalshes Genma with a bucket of water and bouncing the bucket off his head.)Awww shut up old man!
Gemna-Panda:(Sits up and signs.){Show some respect for your Mayor boy!}
Kasumi:Congratulations Mr. Saotome.
Genma-Panda:{Thank you Kasumi.}
Ranma:I don't believe this!
Akane:(Whispering to Harumoni.)Umm...Harumoni. Are you sure that you are mine and Ryouga's daughter. I mean he's never even hinted towards--
Ryouga:(Groans interrupting Akane.)Ohhhhhh.(He slowly opens his eyes.)
Harumoni:(Immediately turning to Ryouga and leaning over him.)Daddy! Are you okay?
Ryouga:Ohhhh....uh-huh. I'm...fine daughter.
Harumoni:Oh thank goodness. I was so worried Daddy.(She hugs him which causing Ryouga to actually realize what's going on.)
Ryouga:(He sits bolt upright eyes wide.)Huh what?! Daddy?(He blinks seeing Akane right there and turns bright red.)Ahhh...Akane....I...I mean I never....I don't know....
Akane:Calm down Ryouga.(She smiles a bit.)I already know...well a little bit anyways. She's from the future and her name is Harumoni.
Ryouga:Ha...rumoni?(He blinks and looks to Harumoni.)
Harumoni:(She lets go and sits smiling.)That's me Dad. Maybe I should...explain a bit about home.
(Ryouga nods a bit absently and everyone listens.)
Harumoni:Well from what...Ranma(Said with hatred.)...has said, him and Shampoo were visiting the future and accidentally brought me back here.
Ryouga:RANMA!!(He jumps to his feet and glares after him.)This is all your fault! How dare you interfere with the life of my daughter!
Harumoni:(Moving up to stop him.)Dad! Calm down. Please?(She put on a small sad face and turns her cuteness level up about 75 %.)
Ryouga:(He crumbles.)A...A...Alright. For you.(He sits back down and casts baleful glares at Ranma who smirks back and sticks his tongue out.)
Harumoni:Thanks Daddy. As I was saying you are my father and Akane is my mother. It sounds so weird calling you by your names.(She shakes her head a bit.)From what you guys told me the way you fell in love was soooo romantic.(She pauses to glare at Ranam who is gagging from his position.)As I was saying. Mom, you told me it was during one of the times Ranma was fighting Dad and in the end Dad had finally beaten Ranma and then he told you he loved you.(She sighs.)
Ranma:WHAT?! Yeah right! You see that proves it wasn't the real future because there is no way no how that Ryouga could EVER beat me in a fight!
Ryouga:Shut up Ranma! I can to beat you. You've just been lucky so far!
Ranma:Yeah right Ryouga. I've been lucky for about a year now then.(Grins.)
Ryouga:(Growling.)Shut up Ranma!
Akane:(Embedding her fist into Ranma's face.)Yeah shut up Ranma! Quit picking on Ryouga!
Ranma:(Glares and mumbles.)Stupid violent uncute tomboy.
Akane:WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!!
Ranma:I called you a-URK!(He gets cut off as a large metal mallet smashes him into the floor.)
Harumoni:(Lifting the mallet off him and growling.)Watch what you call my mother you half-breed pervert!
(Everyone but Kasumi, and Ranma who is half beneath the floorboards, blinks at this occurance.)
Kasumi:Oh my. I'd better go call the lumber company again.(She turns and heads off into the kitchen.)
Ranma:Ow.
Akane:Wow. That's....amazing.
Harumoni:(Suddenly sans mallet.)Huh? Oh.(Blushes a bit.)Thanks Mom. Don't give me all the credit though. You taught me how to do that.
Akane:I...I did?(Smiles a bit and blushes herself.)
Ranma:(Getting up rubbing his head.)Great. Just what I need. Two of them.
Akane & Harumoni:Shut up!(Both look to each other and blinks then laugh a bit.)
Ryouga:Uhh excuse me...Akane. I...need to speak to my....daughter in private.
Akane:Oh...sure thing Ryouga.(Glances to Harumoni.)Go on I'll talk to you later.
Harumoni:Okay.(She goes over and takes Ryouga's hand leading him out back towards the dojo.)Come on Dad. Don't want you getting lost.(She laughs a bit as Ryouga blushes being lead out.)
Akane:(turns to Ranma and growls at him after Harumoni and Ryouga are gone.)Ranma! Quit being mean to Ryouga and I want you to be extra nice to Harumoni while she's here.
Ranma:What for? She's not _my_ kid!
Akane:No but she's mine! Plus it's not her fault you turn out like such a pervert in the future!
Ranma:I am _NOT_ a pervert you tomboy!
Akane:(Glares.)Rrrraaaannnnmmmmaaaa!!!!
Shampoo:AIYA! It fixed!(She suddenly cries out jumping up and down.)
Ranma:What?
Shampoo:Desire Doll! It fixed. Can take violent-girl and pig-boy's daughter back home now!
Ranma:(Grabbing the doll.)Great! The sooner the better.
Akane:(Grabs the doll from Ranma.)Oh no you're not! I haven't gotten to talk to her yet!
Ranma:(Grabs the doll from Akane.)What are you talking about talk to her? Oh I see. I know what this is all about! You just can't wait to find out all about your little happy life with Ryouga. Akane she might not even be from our future so don't go getting your hopes up. You'd be lucky if you could find _anybody_ to marry a tomboy type like you.
Akane:(Grabs the boll back from Ranma.)Oh. I don't believe it! You're jealous!
Ranma:(Grabs the doll from Akane.)What?! What would I have to be jealous of! Ryouga?! Yeah right!(He lightly shakes the doll at her inadvertantly moving the cloth of the dress against it's chest.)I'll have you know that if you and me ever had a kid it's be ten times the kid that Harumoni is!(The doll's eyes snap open and begin to form sparks.)Not that I'd ever want to have a kid with a sexless tomboy like you.
Akane:Why you...(She growls and pulls back her fist but before she can do anything the room is engulf in a flash of greenish-white light.)
**********************************
(Ryouga and Harumoni enter the dojo and the two sit down facing each other.)
Harumoni:You wanted to talk to me Dad?
Ryouga:Ahh...yeah. Harumoni...(He shifts nervously.)Can you....tell me exactly how I...told Akane I loved her?
Harumoni:(She smiles a bit and reaches out taking one of his hands in hers.)Dad. You haven't told her yet have you?
Ryouga:(His eyes widen and then he lowers his head and sighs.)No. I haven't. No matter what everytime I get close to tell her I chicken out or someone interrupts or a disaster occurs.(Sighs.)
Harumoni:It's okay Dad. I'm sure you'll tell her when the time is right. I do know one thing though Dad. She really does love you but she's confused right now. I know you'll know when the right time is.(She leans forwards and hugs him.)Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?
Ryouga:Thanks Harumoni. Oh no. I was also...wondering if you...uhh...know aobut my...uhh...little....water problem?
Harumoni:Oh. You mean P-chan?(She giggles a little.)Yeah I know about that. P-chan was my pet when I was little. I know that was you now, though I didn't when I was little. What about it?
Ryouga:(He looks around nervous.)Well...Akane....uhh...doesn't know about it. I want to keep it secret...for know. I will tell her though. Could you...help me keep it a secret? Please?
Harumoni:(She blinks for a bit and then nods.)If you want Daddy. I'd do anything for you.
Ryouga:Thanks. Does...uhh...Akane know....in the future?
Harumoni:Of course she knows Dad.
Ryouga:(Swallows his face loosing some color.)How...how did...she find out?
Harumoni:(She pauses in thought and then frowns a bit.)I don't know. She never told me how she found out, just that she did. Sorry I can't help Dad.
Ryouga:That's okay Harumoni. Just one more thing. Why do you hate Ranma so much?
Harumoni:Oh.(She glowers a bit.)Him. Well ever since he started going with Kodachi all those years ago, according to Mom and Auntie Ukyou, he began acting weird. He got real mean and started to attack you and Mom all the time and then one day he nearly killed Grandfather Tendo. Him and Kodachi were put in jail for it and I think the others have forgiven him but I won't! I'll never forgive him for that! If it hadn't been for Miss Hinako they probably would've killed him.(She looks a little tearful but takes a deep breath and and composes herself.)It's just ever since I was old enough to remember him he's always been mean and evil and weird and perverted.
Ryouga:Sound's like he hasn't changed a bit.
Harumoni:(She blinks and giggles a little.)Dad! Well....he does seem different now. I mean he's wearing his hair in that pigtail. He never does that back home.
Ryouga:He doesn't? [That's weird. He's never _not_ worn his hair in that pigtail.] Well maybe he did change some.
(A sudden very bright flash of greenish-white light comes from the house and illuminate part of the dojo through the open door. Both look to it.)
Harumoni:What was that?
Ryouga:I don't know. Let's find out.
**********************************
(The flash of greenish-white light fades and the people in the room open their shielded eyes. Standing a few feet from Ranma is a red-headed, blue-eyed teenage girl. She is about the same height as Ranma, just a little shorter, and bears a very striking resemblence to him in his female form except her hair is not in a pigtail. As a matter of fact her hair is wet and half covered in shampoo. Her body is wet as well not to mention completely naked and covered in soap in just the right areas. She is facing Ranma and blinks a couple of times before smirking. Ranma, Akane, Nabiki, Shampoo, Soun and Genma all stare wide-eyed at the girl.)
Girl:(In an even tone of voice.)Dad. You know how Mom gets mad at you when you sneak into the shower with me. Not that I mind of course.(She pauses a confused look on her face as she notices Ranma is wearing clothes and there is no water anymore falling on her anymore. She looks around and sees all the people as well as where she is. She waves to Akane, Nabiki, Soun and Genma in that order while speaking to each.)Hi Mom. Aunt Nabiki. Hi Grandfathers.(She turns back to Ranma.)Excuse me Dad. I better go finish my shower now.(She turns and lightly walks across the floor not bothering to hide any of herself and turns at the bottom of the stairs.)Aunt Nabiki mind if I borrow some clothes? Thanks.(She says without giving Nabiki a chance to answer and turns bounding up the stairs.)
(Everyone just stands and watches the stairs. After a few moments the water is heard running upstairs. Everyone blinks in unison. Ryouga and Harumoni walk into the room and pause to look at everyone still wide-eyes and staring. Nabiki recovers first and smirks to herself nodding to the two.)
Ryouga:Is something....wrong?
Harumoni:What happened?
Nabiki:It appears that Ranma called another child from the future. This one by him and Akane. She just appeared butt naked said hi to everyone and went up to finish the shower he interrupted.(She said with a smirk.)
Harumoni:I don't believe this. Wait a minute. The doll's fixed?
Shampoo:Yes. Shampoo fix doll. Although doll supposed to take to places not brings things. [Shampoo fix doll wrong. Now what do? Can't let future children stay. Great-Grandmother know how to fix right but then she know Shampoo take doll. Shampoo have no choice though. Must fix doll right.] Shampoo....go ask Great-Grandmother for help. Ranma. Keep doll safe until Shampoo come back.(She turns and heads for the door opening it just as Ukyou was about to knock.)Aiya. What not-nice girl want?
Ukyou:Don't call me that! And it's none of your business!(She glares at Shampoo.)
Ranma:(Moving in view of the door.)Hey Ucchan. What're you doing here?
Ukyou:(Shoving Shampoo out of the way and glomping onto Ranma.)Ranchan! I just came to visit that's all.(She smiles lovingly at him.)What's wrong Ranchan you don't look so good. Did Akane force her cooking on you again?
Shampoo:(She glowers at Ukyou but backs down knowing it's more important to go and find Cologne. She turns and leaves quietly a sad look on her face.)[Aiya. If future is true. Shampoo never get Ranma.]
Ranma:Ha I wish!
Akane:My cooking isn't THAT bad!
Harumoni:Yeah! Mom is a great cook!
Ukyou:(She blinks and lets go of Ranma turning to look at Harumoni.)What the...? Who are you?
(Kasumi enters from the kitchen and goes over to the stairs ascending them but nobody notices her.)
Akane:Ukyou. This is....my daughter. Harumoni.
Harumoni:(Smiles a bit.)Hi Aunt Ukyou.
Ukyou:Daughter?! Who...who's...the...fa...father? [Please don't be Ranma please don't be Ranma please don't Ranma please don't--](She blinks suddenly realizing Harumoni is about Akane's age.)Wait a minute! She can't be your daughter she's too young!
Harumoni:I can too! I'm sorta from the future.
Akane:And her father is....uhh....Ryouga.
Ukyou:Ryouga?!!(She looks over to Ryouga and stares watching him turn bright red in confirmation.)Wow.
Ranma:(Arms crossed looking a bit angry.)Yeah well I got a kid from the future here too you know?(He says lightly shaking the doll.)
Harumoni:(Sarcastically.)Oh yeah right. The perverted one that stood around showing everyone her naked body. Figures she'd be yours!
Ranma:Hey!
Ukyou:Naked?
Ranma:Ucchan it's not what you think! I guess I sorta pulled her out of the shower.
Ukyou:(Narrows her eyes.)Oh. Out of the shower hmmmm?
Ranma:That's not what I meant!
Ryouga:(Grinning.)But that's what you said!
Ranma:Stay out of this Ryouga. It's the doll that did it not me! I didn't even mean to. Who would want to have a child with a sexless tomboy like Akane anyways.
Akane & Harumoni:(Both flinch and growl with rage each pulling a large mallet, Akane's wooden and Harumoni's metal. Both slam them down on Ranma making him part of the floor boards and then put them back wherever they got them.)Idiot.(Both say in unison.)
Ukyou:So there's Harumoni who's Akane and Ryouga's kid and another one that's Akane and Ranma's?(Blinks a bit and bends down picking up the doll from Ranma's hand. She looks at it a bit.)This doll?
Akane:I guess so and yes that's the doll. Be careful with it Ukyou. It brought Harumoni and that other girl from the future.
Ukyou:I will.(She looks the doll over a bit more.)How's it work.
Ranma:(Getting up.)You just say what you want and tickle the doll's chest and it takes to what you want. Well now it's bringing stuff to it.(Shrugs.)
Ukyou:Oh. [This is it. This is my chance to get Ranchan. I can bring a child here by me and Ranchan and show him he does love me!](She smirks looking at the doll.)
Kasumi:(Coming down the stairs and smiling blushing a little bit.)Oh my Akane. Such a high-spirited daughter you have. Akisu says she'll be down shortly.
(Everyone, except Soun and Genma-Panda who are still sitting wide-eyed from Akisu's exit upstairs, turns to look at Kasumi who merely smiles her usual oblivious smile.)
Akane, Ukyou, Ranma, Ryouga & Harumoni:Who?
Kasumi:(Smiles a bit more.)Akisu. Akane's other daughter. The one who was showering. She said she'll be down shortly. She's so energetic. Oh hello Ukyou.
Ukyou:Hi Kasumi.(She says wondering a bit about Akisu.)
(Kasumi smiles back and turns heading into the kitchen. The group, sans Genma-Panda and Soun who still haven't come out of shock yet, glance to the stairs and then to each other.)
Akane:Akisu.
Ranma:So that's her name.
Harumoni:Well at least we know what to call the pervert.
Ranma:Hey! My daughter is _not_ a pervert!
Akisu:(As she descends the stairs.)Sure I am Daddy. Everybody knows it and I don't deny it.(She giggles and stops at the bottom looking absolutely stunning. She is wearing an extremely short pair of tight denim shorts and a tight yellow shirt which leaves little to the imagination. The clothes hug her every curve. Her red hair cascades down to her shoulder in waves and it's obvious she isn't wearing a bra under her shirt.)
Ranma:A....Akisu?
Akisu:Yes Daddy?
Ranma:(His left eye twitches a bit.)You.....you....
Akisu:(She giggles a bit.)Daddy it's alright. Auntie Kasumi told me me what's going on and don't worry about little Miss Thick Thighs over there. She don't bother me.
Harumoni:What did you call me?!!
Akisu:You heard me.
Harumoni:Dad!? Are you going to let her stand there and say that about me.(She turns to look at Ryouga.)
Ryouga:(Is holding a bandana to his nose to stop the blood.)Huh?
Ranma:Akisu put....put some more clothing on!!
Akisu:(Puzzled.)Why? You always tell me the less clothing you wear the less you have to take off.
Akane:WHAT?! RANMA!
Ranma:I didn't say that!!!
Harumoni:(Growls and mutters.)Like father like daughter! You're both perverts!
Ranma:I am NOT!
Akisu:(Giggles.)Guilty as charged.
Ranma:Don't say that!
Akisu:But it's the truth and you wouldn't want me to lie would you father?
Ranma:Uhhh...well...uhh...no but...
Akisu:I'm a pervert and I fully acknowledge it. No need to hide it.
Ranma:(Groans.)Why me?
Nabiki:Just you unending streak of good luck I would guess.(She smirks from her place on the couch having been watching it all and wishing she had brought her video camera.)
Ranma:Shut up Nabiki!
Nabiki:(Shrugs and looks to Akisu. She smirks and lifts her camera up snapping a picture.)Say cheese.
Akisu:Ooooh. Cheese!(She giggles and then began posing, very alluringly, for Nabiki who takes pictures of Akisu standing, bending over, showing her cleavage, laying on the floor, sitting on the counch and so on.)
Akane:I don't believe this. My daughter is a pervert.
Harumoni:Mom!
Akane:Sorry! Not you. Her!
Harumoni:What did you expect when he's her father.(Pointing at Ranma.)
Ukyou:Harumoni. Please stop insulting Ranchan.
Harumoni:(Sighs a bit and nods.)I'll try Auntie Ukyou.
Nabiki.(finishes her roll of film.)Thanks Akisu-chan.
Akisu:(She smirks and sits up from where she was laying on the couch.)No problem Biki-chan. You're not getting those photos for free you know?
Nabiki:(Raises a brow.)Oh?
Ukyou:(Mutters to Akane.)Well at least she's smart enough not to let Nabiki scam her.
(Soun and Genma-Panda come out of their shock and glance over at Akisu and Nabiki.)
Akisu:Of course not.(She curls her pointer finger gesturing for Nabiki to lean in close for a whisper which Nabiki does. She smiles at Nabiki and leans in close to whisper but at the last minute changes her course and presses her lips against Nabiki moving her hand to the sides of her cheeks and kissing her deeply for about half minute. She then breaks the kiss and leans back licking her lips.)Mmmmm. Bittersweet tatsing.(She giggles.)
(Nabiki is bright red and twitching making strangled noises. Ranma, Akane, Ukyou and Harumoni all just stare. Ryouga passes out again, this time from blood loss. Soun and Genma-Panda go back into shock again. Suddenly Nabiki's blush dies down and she gets a look of almost normal again to her except her eyes are glaring. She rises up and stiffly walks past everyone heading up the stairs.)
Nabiki:Excuse me.(She says before disappearing up the stairs.)
Akisu:(Suddenly bursts out laughing and falls back on the couch kicking her feet in the air.)HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! My god did you _see_ the look on her face!? Same as the first time I did that to her! Absolutely priceless!
Harumoni:(Mutters.)Not only a pervert but an idiot as well.(To Ryouga shaking him lightly.)Come on Dad. Wake up.
Ryouga:(He groans and wakes up slowly.)Huh? What happened?
Akane:AKISU! That was a...mean and stupid trick to play on Nabiki!
Akisu:(Stops laughing and sits up enough to look at Akane.)Your point being?
Akane:OHHHH!(She growls in frustration and looks to Ranma.)Ranma she's your fault! You deal with her!
Ranma:(He quickly wipes the blood from his face and looks at Akisu.)Umm...Akisu?
Akisu:Yes Daddy?
Ranma:Don't do anything like that again okay?
Akisu:Okay Daddy.(She smirks and lays back down.)
Ranma:(Smiles a bit and nods.)There. Taken care of.
(Akane rolls her eyes and groans in frustration.)
Ukyou:(She sets the doll down on the table and moves up beside Ranma.)Gee Ranchan. I wonder what...happened to her...that she'd turn out so...perverted?
Ranma:You got me. The only one I know of that perverted it the old goat and I haven't seen him around in weeks.
(Suddenly a pail of water flies through the opened door and splashes Ranma the pail landing on, now her, head. A moment later a small old man is attached firmly to Ranma-chan's chest squeezing and nuzzling.)
Happosai:Oh my sweet Ranma-chan! How I've missed you! A good cry in your busom should make me feel better though!
Ranma-chan:AHHHH!!!!(She grabs the pail and whacks Happosai to the ground.)Get off me you perverted old goat!
Happosai:(Looks on the verge of tears.)Why....why are you so mean to me?! Akane! Help a lonely old man feel better!(He cries leaping for Akane but he get's snagged out of the air by Harumoni who turns him around and glares at him.)Who's this lovely lady? Come and give Grandfather Happosai a hug deary!(He reaches out to try and grab her swinging his arms and moving his feet to no avail.)
Harumoni:(In a sugary sweet voice.)Hello Grandfather Happosai. I'm Harumoni, Akane and Ryouga's daughter from the future and I was wondering if you'd do me a teeny tiny little favor?
Happosai:(Drooling.)Daughter eh? Sure thing Harumoni baby I'll do anything for you!
Harumoni:(She smirks.)Good.(She suddenly lifts him up and throws him into the ground quickly followed by her metal mallet smashing him into the floorboards whils she screams.)KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY MOTHER!!!
(Soun and Genma-Panda recover from shock and glances around again.)
(Happosai lays there groaning slowly picking himself up. Akisu gets up from the couch and walks over kneeling beside him.)
Akisu:Grandfather Happosai. Oh you poor dear man you, your all bruised and hurt. Let me make it all better.(She then picks him up and snuggles him into her chest giving him a kiss on the forehead.)
(Soun and Genma-Panda see this and pass out making two dull thuds.)
Akane:Oh my God!
Ryouga:That's disgusting.
Ukyou:Ewwwww!
Ranma-chan:I never thought I'd see the day.
Harumoni:Figures.
Happosai:(Suddenly revitalized.)Oh...I'm...so happy. You beautiful person you. What's your name my lovely?
Akisu:It's Akisu. I'm from the future just like Harumoni.
Happosai:Oh Aki-chan! You're an old man's dream come true! Unlike some people around here who never do anything for me, you know how to appreciate me. You would make me truly happy if you'd just honor one little request of mine.
Ranma-chan:Oh no you don't you old lech!(Rushing to grab Happosai.)
Happosai:Learn some respect boy.(He pulls his pipe and hooks Ranma-chan's hand tosses her back into Ryouga the two sliding and colliding with the wall.)
Akisu:Of course Grandfather Happosai. I'd do _anything_ for you.(She says squeezing him closer her tone becoming sensual.)
Happosai:(He begins to drool more and pulls out a bra.)Would you put this on for me?
Akisu:(She giggles a bit.)Grandfather.(She giggles a little more.)I suppose this you wouldn't know as you don't know me yet but I don't wear underwear.
(Everybody still conscious in the room facefaults.)
Happosai:(Drooling more now.)Really?! Why don't we go someplace private Aki-chan? Away from prying eyes?
Akisu:(She giggles and hops to her feet.)Okay Grandfather. I know the perfect place.(She holds Happosai to her chest and bounds up the stairs before anyone can recover.)
Ranma-chan:(Getting up off Ryouga.)I don't believe it.
Akane:Neither do I.
Ukyou:She actually...enjoys him?
Ryouga:I think I'm gonna be sick.
Harumoni:(Looking none too impressed at Ranma-chan.)Way to go.
Ranma-chan:Hey I didn't do anything!
Akane:You brought her here you idiot! Worse yet she's our daughter! It's your fault and you'd better keep an eye on her. She looks almost identical to your female form. What if she decided to go after Kuno?!
Ranma-chan:(The color drains from his face.)Oh....now I'm gonna be sick.
Akane:Exactly! You better keep her out of trouble!
Ukyou:Don't worry Ranchan! I'll help you.(Glomping onto Ranma-chan's arm.)
Ranma-chan:Uhhh...thanks Ucchan.
Akane:(Growls a bit then smiles.)Well have fun looking after the pervert. Ryouga? Harumoni? Can I talk to you two alone?
Ryouga:A...alone?
Akane:Yeah alone.(Glances at Ranma-chan.)I'd like to get away from the perverts for a little while.
Ranma-chan:I'm not a pervert!!
Harumoni:Sure you can Mom.(She grabs Ryouga's arm and drags him towards the stairs.)Your room be okay?
Akane:(Smiles a bit and follows.)That'll be okay.
(Akane, Harumoni and a rather nervous Ryouga head up the stairs leaving Ranma-chan, Ukyou and the unconscious Genma-Panda and Soun. Ranma-chan and Ukyou sit down at the table and both look to the doll and then to each other.)

(Nabiki enters her room and shuts the door after spending the last few minutes liberally brushing her teeth. She tosses her camera on the bed and walks over sitting at her desk. She remains this way, head in her hands, for a few moments.)
Nabiki:Okay Nabiki just calm down.(Sighs.)I can't believe she did that!(She growls a bit then forces herself calm again.)Calm down. It was just a kiss. Rather pleasent actually, even though I'm not like that. Weigh the pros and cons here. Pros:Only the family and Ukyou and Ryouga saw. Easy to blackmail and keep it a secret. Plus Akisu is a pervert so people will blame her and not think to much about me. Also got a free roll of very nice pictures to sell to Kuno-chan. Cons:I got kissed by a girl. Possible embarressment if this get's out is not much.(She smirked a bit and nodded her head. The situation wasn't so bad after all.)Okay. Now on to business. What can I do with that doll.(She sits at her desk thinking for a short while tapping her fingers. She sits up a bit straighter all of a sudden and smirks wider. She quickly moves over to her phone and picks it up dialing a number and waiting for it to ring.)
Kunou:(On the phone.)Greetings and salutation noble caller. You have reached the grand estate of the Kunou family. The great and mighty Tatewaki Kunou has graced your ears with his-
Nabiki:(Interrupting.)Kunou-chan. This is important. I have a proposition for you.
Kunou:(On the phone.)Oh. It is you Nabiki Tendo. A propostion for me? I shall listen to your proposition. What is it that you have reason to call me at my abode?
Nabiki:Oh Kunou-chan. You're going to like this. You know your Pig-Tailed Girl that Ranma has captive under his evil spells. I've recently come in possession of a certain item that will break the spell over her and make her all yours.
Kunou:(On the phone.)What?! You have the salvation of the Pig-Tailed Girl in your grasp? I must have it Nabiki Tendo. I shall take myself forthwith to your humble home and grace it with my presance so that I may acquire this item from you and thus save the lovely and fair Pig-Tailed Girl from the evil Saotome's clutches before I smite him and send him back to the very depths of hell that spawned him.(He broke out into a ranting laughter for a short moment before shouting out.)SAOTOME! The vengence of heaven is slow but sure!!! Today shall be your downfall!!
(On the phone a thud is heard as if the receiver was dropped. The sound of receding footsteps are heard and then a loud crash. A few moments of silence and then some more footsteps and a muffled voice. Then the footstep get closer and sounds of the phone being picked up. A nasal, subservient voice is then heard over the phone.)
Voice on Phone:Um...hello?
Nabiki:Hello Sasuke. This is Nabiki. Kunou-chan run into the wall again?
Sasuke:(On the phone.)Oh hello Mistress Nabiki. Yes I'm afraid he did.
Nabiki:Thought so. Well Sasuke tell Kunou-chan when he comes to that I'll be waiting for him out front in my yard with the item I promised.
Sasuke:(On the phone.)I shall relay the message Mistress Nabiki. I must attend to Master Kunou now. Goodbye.
Nabiki:Goodbye Sasuke.(She then hung up the phone and smirked to herself.)Now to just get the doll and then after Kunou-chan uses it to "free" his Pig-Taled Girl all that's left is to set up a meeting between him and Akisu.(She smirked a bit more and leaned back in her chair pleased with her plan.)
**********************************
(Akane, Harumoni and Ryouga entered Akane's room and shut the door. Akane and Harumoni sat down on the bed. Ryouga moved and sat down nervously on the chair at Akane's desk. He looked around the room half nervous and half at ease. He usually felt at ease in this room but that was when he was P-chan and in Akane's arms. He sighed a bit and wished he could tell her about his curse but he knew she'd kill him if he did. After all that time. He sighed again slowly sinking into depression.)
Harumoni:Dad? Is something wrong?
Ryouga:What?(He looks up to see Akane and Harumoni staring at him. He swallows.)No...no nothing's wrong. I'm fine.
Harumoni:Okay. [Poor Daddy. He's so depressed. Hmmmm. I know what will cheer him up. Just gotta get the conversation going the right way.](She looks over to Akane.)So Mom. What did you want to talk to us about?
Akane:Well I wanted to know about you and I thought Ryouga would like to as well.(She smiles a bit.)I was also wondering....if you meant what you said earlier. About my cooking being great?(Slightly blushing.)I know I'm not too good now but I keep trying.
Harumoni:[That was easier than I thought.](She laughs a bit and smiles.)Of course I meant it Mom. You're a great cook! As good if not better than Auntie Kasumi! You told me you used to be a bad cook when you were my age but you kept trying until you finally got it right. There's not much to tell about me. I'm a fairly good student and I'm also a martial artist. Dad says if I train hard enough I'll be as good as him someday but I doubt that.
Ryouga:(He blushes deeply and smiles a bit.)Well...anyone that trains can be good. It just takes effort.
Akane:Don't be so modest Ryouga. You're one of the best martial artists I know of.
Ryouga:(Blushes more.)A...Akane. Th....thank you.
Harumoni:(Smiles to herself.)[Perfect! Now for the clincher.]Oh Mom! Dad! I just remembered something you once told me about your first date.(She smiles seeing them widen their eyes and swallow.)It was so romantic when you told it to me. Dad you took Mom to dinner one night and to a movie and the evening went perfect. You were walking home and Dad got lost.(She giggles a bit and notices Ryouga's blush deepen even more.)It took you guys a week to find home again and you just walked the whole time enjoying the sights. It was so romantic. You went "travelling" on just about every date you ever took. You went all over the world on your honeymoon, at least that's what you told me. I was born in America too!
Akane:(Smiling listening to Harumoni. She blinks.)America? Why?
Ryouga:Yeah. Why was Akane walking around while she was pregnant?
Harumoni:Well I'm not sure but you two had gotten lost going to the store for ice cream for Mom and somehow wound up in New York when Mom went into labor. You luckily ran into a doctor who was off duty and she helped drive you both to the nearest hospital and helped deliver me.(She smiles widely remembering the pictures she seen of the lady.)You two said you were so grateful you named me after that lady.
Akane:She was named Harumoni?(Smiling trying to imagine the thought of being married to Ryouga and having a child.)
Ryouga:(Smiling because Akane is smiling.)That's....beautiful.
Harumoni:I know it is Dad. Actually her name was Harmony and when you brought it over into Japanese it came out Harumoni.(She shrugs and smiles.)I've always liked the name cause it's unique. You actually took me to visit her when I was six. She's a really nice lady.
Akane:Wow. Other than the....trouble with Ranma are things pretty peaceful?
Harumoni:Pretty much yeah. I mean Shampoo and Mousse are married and have twins. Lotion and Perfume. I'm good friends with them. Ukyou is still single, she's waiting for...Ranma to come back to her. Ranma married Kodachi a while back and acts just as crazy as her. He even said once that after he kills Dad and the rest of the family that you'll love him again.(Shakes her head.)
Akane:Ranma....said that? He'd never do anything like that. I wonder what happened to him?
Harumoni:I don't know Mom. He doesn't act anything like the one I know.
Ryouga:It might be Kodachi. I mean she has tried to use potions and other drugs on him before.
Akane:(Smiles a bit at Ryouga.)That's probably what it is! That lunatic would do anything to get Ranma.
Harumoni:(She sighs a bit and shrugs.)Maybe Mom but I still don't trust him.
Akane:Harumoni. Trust me on this. What you say about Ranma I know for a fact he wouldn't do unless he was under the control of someone else or under the effects of some type of drugs or spell. I know Ranma and he is honorable, to a fault sometimes.
Ryouga:(Listens to Akane and sighs hearing her defend him.)She's....she's right Harumoni.(Cenches his fists.)As much hell as Ranma's put me through...he is still an honorable man deep down. Even though he ran out on our fight back in Junior High as used tricks and dirty tactics to win all our fights since.
Harumoni:(She looks back and forth and sighs.)Well you are my parents so I know you wouldn't lie to me. I'll....give him another chance. But this don't mean I'll like him.
Akane:(Smiles and gives Harumoni a hug before sitting back.)Thanks Harumoni.
Harumoni:(Hugs back.)You're welcome Mom. Is that all you wanted to know?
Akane:Well...what about the others? Who are they married to? My sisters?
Harumoni:(she laughs a bit.)Oh. Auntie Nabiki married Uncle Kunou, so Ranma is sort of our relative through him. She also helped Mayor Saotome become mayor. Auntie Kasumi married Dr. Tofu, but everyone expected that. Oh and Grandfather got remarried too!
Akane:Dad?!
Ryouga:Mr. Tendo?!
Harumoni:Yup! He married Miss Hinako a couple of years after Ranma and Kodachi nearly killed him. She was the one that saved everyone with her chi sucking technique. She drained Ranma and Kodachi and the police arrived and arrested them. They got out after a few months in jail though. Grandfather started to date her and after a while they got married. I never seen him so happy. He hardly cries like he used too.
Akane:(She blinks a bit and then begins to laugh picturing Soun stadning beside Miss Hinako in her girl form. She pauses to picture them togeter with Hinako in her grown woman form and smiles a bit.)Wow. I guess they'd make a good couple at that.
Ryouga:Miss Hinako?(He blinks a few times and shakes his head holding it in his hands.)Wow.
Harumoni:Oh I almost forget. Nabiki and Kuno had a boy. Kotei Kuno. I'm friends with him too. He's a nice guy but he has way too much of his parents in him.(She laughs a bit.)
Akane:Nabiki and Kunou huh? I'd like to see how she got his mind of me and Ranma's girl form.
Harumoni:She didn't. He still chases after you and Ranma but also is married to Nabiki who he also says he loves.
Ryouga:He says he loves all three?(Frowns a bit.)That's just like that pervert. Him and Ranma are one in the same! No wonder they ended up related.
Akane:(Frowns a bit.)Ryouga. Ranma's not as bad as Kunou. Almost but not as bad.
Ryouga:(Lowers his head.)Sorry Akane.
Harumoni:Other than that things were pretty much peaceful except for the normal around here.
Akane:(She smiles a bit and nods.)Well thanks. We'd better get back downstairs before Ranma or Akisu causes more trouble.(She rises and goes over opening her door.)
Harumoni:Okay Mom.(She rises as well heading over.)
Ryouga:Uh Akane? You go on we'll be right behind you. I just...gotta ask Harumoni something.
Akane:Okay Ryouga. See you downstairs.(She smiles and turns walking out and towards the stairs.)
Harumoni:(She turns and looks at Ryouga puzzled.)Dad? Is something wrong?
Ryouga:Sort of. Harumoni I.....(Sighs.)Nevermind.
Harumoni:Dad?(She walks over and sits on the bed near him.)You can tell me.
Ryouga:(He looks up and smiles a bit.)I know I can. It's alright though. Nothing to worry about. Trust me.
Harumoni:(She sighs and rises again.)Alright Dad. If you say so but I'm here if you want to talk. Come on.
Ryouga:(He nods and follows after her out of the room.)[I wish I could tell you Harumoni but this I can't. How I can tell my daughter from the future that I am having doubts as to if she's even my daughter and not some other me's daughter on another world. Damn you Ranma for bringing her here!]
**********************************
(Back in the living room Ranma and Ukyou is still sitting at the table just talking about the two children and how it all happened. Ranma is doing most of the talking. Kasumi is back and over with Soun and Genma who have just been woken up. Kasumi pours hot water from the kettle she brought in over Genma turning him back to human again. Ranma is male once again his shirt a little wet from Kasumi turning him back a few moments ago. Akane comes down the stairs and walks over to the table sitting down opposite Ranma and Ukyou.)
Ukyou:You guys have a fun talk Akane?
Akane:(Smiling a bit.)Yeah we did. Harumoni told us all about her future.
Ranma:Oh really? I can just imagine she had all kinds of good stuff to say about me.
Akane:Cut it out Ranma. She's used to you trying to hurt me and the rest of her family. Anyways we think it might be Kodachi's doing that you're like that so be careful around her.
Ranma:Yeah whatever.
Ryouga:(Descending the stairs with Harumoni.)Maybe you should listen to her for once Ranma. You might actually learn something useful.
Ranma:Yeah right! What could I learn from a uncu....(He pausing noting the hostile looks from Ryouga, Akane and Harumoni. He swallows a bit.)....from her.
Harumoni:(Sitting down beside Akane and giving a strained smile.)It's hard Mom but I'm giving him a chance. So far he's not doing well.
Akane:I know Harumoni but he's always an insensitive jerk like this.
Ranma:I am not a jerk!
Ukyou:Yeah. Ranchan is the sweetest most caring and sensitive person I know!
Ryouga:(Scoffs.)And I'm the Emperor of Japan.
Ukyou:(Sends a glare at Ryouga.)Shut up you stupid jackass!
(Kasumi sets moves away from Soun and Genma and picks up her feather duster. She begins to dust the living room humming a happy tune.)
Soun:Now children. There is no sense in acting like little babies and fighting. Things are getting complicated and fighting will only serve to worsen things.
Harumoni:(Lowers her head.)You're right Grandfather. We're sorry.
(Akane, Ranma, Ukyou and Ryouga murmur their agreement. Suddenly a familiar giggling is heard from upstairs as Akisu comes down grinning.)
Akisu:Hello everyone. My but Grandfather Happosai is frisky today isn't he. He lasted a whole ten minutes this time!
(Akane, Ranma, Ukyou, Ryouga and Harumoni all suddenly look sick and cover their mouths. Kasumi blinks while Soun and Genma look like the end of the world is at hand.)
Kasumi:Oh my.
Ryouga & Ranma:(In unison.)Oh my God!
Akane:She...she didn't.
Ukyou:That's....(She shudders at the thought.)Ewwwww!
Harumoni:You pervert!
Akisu:What? Oh don't worry I didn't go too rough on him. He is an old man after all.
Kasumi:Oh my.
(Ranma, Ryouga, Akane, Harumoni and Ukyou all look at Akisu with disgust and horror.)
Soun:Saotome!!? Did....did you hear that?!!
Genma:I did Tendo!! The evil Master has....
Soun:...has defiled our granddaughter! This can not go unpunished!!!
Genma:Yes! We must punish the evil Master for this deed. He has finally gone too far!!
(Soun and Genma leap to their feet and rushes up the stairs. The sounds of their footsteps running upstairs are heard then muffled shouting. An explosion rocks the house lightly and then all is silent.)
Ranma:(Facefaults into the table and mummbles.)Idiots.
Akisu:(She shrugs and walks over to the couch and flops down on it grinning.)Those two always overreact.
Akane:(She clears her throat.)Akisu?
Akisu:Yo.
Akane:(Sighs a bit and shakes her head as if dismissing what she was about to say.)I don't suppose you could come over and tell us about your life? Your future?
Akisu:(She turns and kneels on the couch facing the group.)I suppose so. It's a bit complicated but I'll try to make it simple for you. Let's see. You and Dad got married a while back finally and I was born about a year later. Also at the same time Ukyou had a girl, as did Shampoo and Kodachi had twins, both girls. I took up training in the martial arts under Dad at first and then under Grandfather because Dad was so uptight. Finally I went and studied under Grandfather Happosai and have been ever since. That was at age 8 I went to study under him.(She smirks a bit.)Or over him or behind him. We did it all.
(Again everyone has the distinct urge to throw up but they manage to hold it back. Kasumi is the only one who doesn't really notice as she continues her dusting.)
Ranma:(Swallowing a bit.)So...uhh...who was the father of...uhh...Ukyou's child?
Akisu:You were.
Akane, Ranma & Ukyou:WHAT?!
Ryouga:Ranma! You were cheating on Akane!! You cad!
Harumoni:Hmph!
Ranma:I didn't do anything!
Akane:(Glares at Ranma and then look to Akisu.)Explain!
Akisu:(Smirks.)Sure. You see the honeymoon was at some obscure Inn somewhere's and The day after you and Dad had sex Ukyou showed up having found out where you guys were and then Dad and Ukyou had sex.
Akane:Ranma how could you!?
Ukyou:(Glomping onto Ranma's arm.)Oh Ranma I knew you loved me! You were only going along with Akane because of the vow your parents made.
Ryouga:He went a little _too_ far if you ask me!
Harumoni:You said it Dad!
Ranma:(Groans.)I didn't do anything!!
Nabiki:(Descending the stairs, smirking.)Yet.(She moves to head over to the couch but sees Akisu. She changes her course and moves leaning against the wall near the doorway to the kitchen.)
Ranma:Shut up Nabiki!
Akane:Don't tell me sister to shut up you two-timer. You cheated on me with Ukyou when we were married.
Akisu:Oh not only Ukyou. He also slept with Shampoo _and_ Kodachi! The girls they had are all my sisters! Shampoo and Kodachi found out as well and came after Dad, who of course, obliged them.
Akane:(Growls with a look of pure rage on her face at Ranma.)Rrrrrrrrraaaaaaaannnnnnnnmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Ukyou:(Also looking none too happy.)Ranchan! How...how could you do that! Sleep with not only that Chinese bimbo but also that psycho!?
Ryouga:I always knew you were a pervert Ranma but I didn't think even _you_ could sink this low!
Harumoni:You disgust me!
Ranma:(grasping his head.)I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!!!!
Akisu:(She smirks watching all this.)Well if it means anything Dad I don't think any worse of you.
Ranma:(Glances over and then lets his face fall into the table. He mumbles in a weak voice.)Great.(He then sits up and growls a bit at everyone.)Leave me alone you guys! How can you blame me for something that hasn't even happened yet!(He pauses and blinks.)Akisu! Do you know Harumoni? Is she alive back on your world?
Akisu:Harumoni? No. Not that I know of.
Ranma:(Smiles a bit and looks to the rest.)There you see!? If you all believe Harumoni is the real future than how can you blame me for stuff Akisu's father did because he's another Ranma on some other world and _NOT_ me!!
Akane:(Growls.)It's still you Ranma.
Ukyou:(Frowns a little but not as angry.)He does have a point Akane. We can't blame him for something he didn't do and may never do.
Akane:Hmph! He's _still_ a pervert!
Ranma:(Sticks his tongue out at Akane.)Ha! And you're still and uncute tomboy! OW!(He cries out as Harumoni's mallet slams him into the floor.)
Harumoni:(She sit back down mallet suddenly gone and huffs.)I gave him a chance Mom. He blew it!
Ryouga:(Smirks a bit seeing Ranma in pain.)I always knew you'd get what was coming to you someday Ranma.
Ranma:Shut up Ryouga. Ow.(He sits back up and rubs his head.)
Ukyou:(She glances at the doll still sitting o nthe table and reaches picking it up. She smiles a bit finding it rather pretty despite the damage already done to it.)Well at least I know somewhere out there I get Ranchan.(She lightly brushes the doll's hair a bit and looks at the doll's eyes.)
Ranma:Uh...Ucchan?
(Everyone, but Kasumi who is still busy dusting, watching Ukyou with varying levels of interest. Ukyou doesn't seem to notice them and continues.)
Ukyou:It'd be nice to see what kind of a future I have.
Ranma:Ucchan I don't think that's such a good thing to say while holding that doll.(He says reaching for it carefully.)
Ukyou:I wish I could see what mine and Ranchan's child would be like.(She says lightly adjusting the dress, the fabric moving against the chest. The doll's eyes snap open and begin to form sparks. She is startled and lets go of the doll.)
(A greenish-white flash of light suddenly fills the room and then fades as the doll lands with a soft thud on the table. Everyone quickly notes the presance of another person in the room. It is a young man with black hair done up in a pigtail. His clothing is almost identical to Ranma's, being a red silk Chinese shirt and black pants. He is moving through a set of katas, his eyes closed. Everyone just stares for a bit and Ryouga, the nearest person clears his throat to get the boy's attention.)
Young Man:KIYA!(He shouts turning on Ryouga and jumping into the air executing a kick that takes Ryouga full in the face and knocks him through the air onto the floor. He pauses seeing who it is.)Uncle RyouGAAHHH!!!(He screams out the last part getting embedded into the floor boards courtesy of Harumoni's mallet.)
Harumoni:Alright whoever you are! What do you think you're doing attack my father like that!?
Young Man:(Pulling himself up from the ground glaring.)I happen to be Mabushu Saotome, heir to the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts for your information and he surprised me is all. I reacted without thinking and the next time you hit me with that mallet of yours I'll have to hit you back! Geez what a tomboy!
Harumoni:What did you call me?!!
Ryouga:(Getting up and growling.)Saotome eh? Hmph. You're lucky I wasn't prepared.
Mabushu:Yeah whatever Uncle Ryouga.(He takes his first look around and notices everyone.)Somebody mind explaining how I got here. I was just in the dojo back home.(He takes a closer look around and notices the ages of those gathered. He walks over to stand behind Ranma and Ukyou.)Mom. Dad. What did you do?
Ranma:(Hits his head on the table.)Oh great. Another one.(Looks up.)And I didn't do anything!
Ukyou:M...Mom?(She looks up at Mabushu and stares for a bit seeing herself in his face.)Your...my son.
Harumoni:Great. What is this? "Steal kids from the future" day around here?!
Akisu:Quit complaining. He's got a great body on him.(She licks her lips watching Mabushu.)
Akane:(Frowns.)Ask your mother Mabushu. She's the one that brought you here!
Mabushu:(Looks down at Ukyou.)Mom?
Ukyou:S...Sorry. I...I didn't mean to. I was just thinking of how nice it would be to see what a child with Ranchan would be like. I guess I triggered the doll.
Mabushu:Uh-huh. Whatever. When's dinner?
Kasumi:Dinner won't be for a few hours Mabushu. I hope you can wait that long.
Mabushu:Sure thing Kasumi.(He glances around.)So this is the past. This is the Tendo's right? A bit drab isn't it?
Akane:(Blinks and growls.)Hey this is my home!
Mabushu:I can tell. It has your style. Very unfemenine.(Gestures to Harumoni.)Your daughter from the future I presume. You could be twins. Both of you are tomboys.
Akane & Harumoni:(Both get looks of rage on their faces.)Why you.....
(Ranma ducks under the table and pops up on the other side scampering to a safe distance. Ukyou grabs the doll and slides away as Harumoni and Akane leap at Mabushu to pound him flat except he isn't there. They blink seeing their mallet's embedded in the floor but nothing else.)
Mabushu:(He claps condescendingly from where he stands over by Ryouga.)I've seen faster movements from pig-boy over here.(He points his thumb to Ryouga.)
Ryouga:DIE!(Ryouga shouts swinging his fists at Mabushu who quickly and easily dodges each one and then slips past him tripping him. He falls face first onto the floor.)
(Mabushu is again attacked by Akane and Harumoni, both of whom's attacks are ineffective. Mabushu dodges both of the strikes and flips in the air to land between Ranma and Ukyou smirking.)
Mabushu:Maybe you all should train for a couple of years and then try me. You might be able to get close to maybe touching me then.(He laughs a bit but is cut off when Ukyou's mega-spatula slams into the back of his head flooring him.)
Ukyou:Alright you! If you _are_ my son I will not having you acting like that to my friends! You apologize right now mister and start using the manners I know I taught you! Do I make myself perfectly clear!?
(Everyone blinks a bit at Ukyou's outburst and Akane smiles a bit. Mabushu groans and gets up glaring a bit at Ukyou who glares right back. They stare each other down for a few moments before Mabushu turns away and lowers his head.)
Mabushu:(Mumbling.)I'm sorry I was out of line and I ask you for your forgiveness.
Ukyou:That's better!
Akane:Yes it is a bit better. We accept your apology Mabushu. Just use your manners more and you might make a bit more friends.
Mabushu:(He scoffs a bit.)Friends are something I don't need. They bring you nothing but trouble.
Harumoni:Hmph! Figures. Both of his children are social catastrophies!
Mabushu:Both of who's children?
Ranma:(Clears his throat.)Uh...mine. I have two here from the future. You and...her.(He says pointing to Akisu.)
Akisu:(She waves and licks her lips.)Hey hot stuff.(She blows him a kiss.)You got a nice butt.
Mabushu:(He blinks and blushes a little but shrugs grinning.)Yeah I know.
Akisu:Ooooh. And confident too. I like.
Mabushu:What's not to like?
Ranma:(Groans.)Why me?
Ryouga:Because you deserve it!
Ranma:Shut up Ryouga!
Akane:Both of you be quiet! We have to find some plaace to put that doll so no more children get brought back.
Harumoni:Good idea Mom. Maybe we can give it to someone we know we can trust who wouldn't ever use it for other means. Who do we know like that?
(Akane, Ryouga, Ranma, Ukyou, Harumoni, Mabushu, Akisu and Nabiki all turn at the same time and look to Kasumi. Kasumi continues dusting and humming softly not noticing the eyes on her.)
Akane:(She moves and takes the doll from Ukyou and walks over to Kasumi.)Kasumi?
Kasumi:Yes Akane?
Akane:Kasumi. We were wondering if you could hold onto this doll for us so we don't bring any more of our children from the future here?
Kasumi:(She smiles and takes the doll.)Of course I will Akane.(She smiles and looks to everyone.)Today certainly has been exciting hasn't it. Now we have all these children for dinner later. Won't that be fun?
Ranma:(Groans.)Yeah. Fun.
Ryouga:(He grunts lightly in response.)
Kasumi:I'll have to remember to put enough places at the table and make enough food. Let me see we need a place for Harumoni, Akane and Ryouga's child. One for Akisu, Ranma and Akane's child. And one for Mabushu, Ranma and Ukyou's child.(She smiles a bit and looks at the doll.)My but this doll is dusty.(She begins to dust it with the feather duster and looks up to the others.)
(A suddenly chill passes through everyone else but Kasumi. It's that chill you get when something is about to happen and you have been the direct cause of it.)
Kasumi:It seems we don't have a child of Ryouga and Ukyou here. I wonder what he would be like.(She says her feather duster moving the fabric of the dress against the doll's chest.)
(The doll's eyes snap open and sparks form in them. A flash of greenish-white light explodes from the doll and envelops the room. It dies down and everyone is staring at the young man in front of Kasumi. Kasumi blinks a few times staring at the young man who is wearing a simple purple shirt and black pants. Over them he is wearing a pink frilly apron and has a feather duster in his hand. Around his head is a yellow and black-spotted bandana holding back his unruly brown hair. Everyone just stares at the two. They both blinks several times looking at each other.)
Kasumi & The Young Man:(At the same time and in the same tone of voice.)Oh my.
~End of Part 2~
(Author's Notes:)
Okay part 2 is quite finished! I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. This has been the smoothest writing I've ever done. I started it and finished it on the same day. I just began writing and kept writing for about 5 hours and finished it. Now you've been introduced to Harumoni, Akisu and Mabushu. In case you hadn't guessed the young man at the end of this part is Keiichi and you'll see what he's like soon enough when I put out part three. Harumoni, Mabushu, Akisu(_Definitely_ Akisu), and Keiichi are all my creations more or less. Depending on the reviews I get when I finish writing "The Desire Doll" I may do a side story involving just one of those children.
Things to look forward in Part 3 of The Desire Doll are the introduction of Keiichi and getting to know the other three children and seeing how they interact. The beginning of Nabiki's plan for the doll and Akisu. Kuno enters the scene along with a familiar face from Harumoni's time. Kodachi also makes her appearance. Shampoo tells Cologne what has happened and must deal with the consequences of her actions. Akane and Ukyou have a heart to heart talk and a world shaking revalation for Ryouga! Stay tuned for the next part od The Desire Doll hopefully coming soon.
Remember that C&C is always welcome and I am open to ideas but keep in mind if I like something done a certain way I probably won't change it. This is just me and I hope you can live with that. See you all next time! ^_^ Part Three Go Back To Main Page
