Paired Off with Who?!

 Chapter One: We Start with the Slightly Predicatble     Akane punched the wall in front of her, smashing it to pieces in an instant.  But she didn’t stop there.  Soon the entire building was a wreck.
    With every punch and kick, she imagined she was beating up Ranma.  She would’ve slammed him if he wasn’t on a date with Ukyo.  That slut!  Suddenly Akane heard a whistle coming from down the road.  Dr. Tofu strode up, but was stopped in his tracks by the horrible sight in front of him.  He whirled to Akane.
    “Akane! What happened here? Who destroyed my office?”
    “Uh...”  Akane drew a blank for a second.  “Uh, it was Shampoo and those others in the Amazon gang, and they kidnaped Ukyo and Ranma.”  Tofu’s face darkened.
    “Those folks have gone too far this time.  I have to alert the police.”  Tofu rushed off before Akane could say another word.  She stared at the wreckage she had created and sighed.
    “Oh well.  At least those filthy Chinese Amazons will be deported now.”  With a smile on her face, she started to walk home.  She didn’t know why, but now, after seeing Tofu so distraught, Akane began to feel warmer.  She licked her lips.
    “I suppose that work-out really uh... warmed me up.”  She saw Tatewaki Kuno walking toward her, head straight, handsome eyes looking straight at her.  Akane allowed her gaze to drift over the rest of Kuno’s impressive build.  “I think I’ll have some fun with him.”
    Kuno walked up to Akane.
    “Fairest damsel, I wish only to woo...”  Without warning, Akane slugged Kuno in the jaw.  Kuno slumped to the ground, but looked up.  “Spirit of the tiger! Akane Tendo, you shall be mine!” Akane grinned.  She hadn’t realized that violence actually turned her on so much.  She leaned forward and gave Kuno a passionate kiss before kicking him in the stomach.
    She stood up.
    “Ok, Kuno.”  Her eyes glittered with mischief.  “Follow me to that alleyway over there.”
    Kuno’s eyes widened, but he scrambled quickly to his feet, and readily complied.

    “Great-grandmother! Where is love potion #17?” Cologne sighed.
    “Grand-daughter, I don’t have time now.  I have to plan out our next plan to take Ranma.”  Shampoo, ignoring her, stood in the kitchen looking at various bottles.
    She hoisted one up.
    “This must be one.  Ranma will have to fall in love with me now.”
    She ran out of the store.

    A tear ran out of Kodachi’s eye.
    “What’s wrong, my dear? That didn’t hurt too much, did it?” Genma looked over at Kodachi lying face down on the mattress.  “I promise you, this will definitely assure that Ranma will choose you as his bride.”  Kodachi forced herself to smile and turned back to Genma.
    “Very well, father of my true love, I will continue.”

    Ranma and Ukyo sat next to each other on a bench, enjoying a leisurely lunch.  Shampoo spied them and hopped nearby, hiding in the bushes.  She pulled out the bottle and prepared to use it, when a sudden movement to the side caused her to drop the bottle, sending strangely-colored fumes everywhere.  She breathed in on reflex, and sneezed instantly.  Her eyes focused on the figure next to her, who was also focused on her.  She leaned forward and looked seductively at her target, playing with his mustache.  He responded by grabbing her in his arms and kissing her passionately.  The two were so busy that they didn’t hear the noise coming from nearby.

    Akane walked triumphantly down the road, leaving Tatewaki bruised and battered in the alleyway.
    “I am the greatest lover in the world!” she thought to herself.  “But I need more! Where’s that pervert Ranma? Or maybe Ryoga?” She heard a rustling nearby, and saw the sun glinted off oversized glasses.
    “Shampoo, my darling, is that you?” Akane forced her voice to raise higher than normal.
    “It sure is, lover.  Why don’t you let Shampoo take care of you?” With a cry of joy, Mousse jumped into Akane’s waiting arms.
    A doorbell interrupted Kodachi's shower. She wrapped herself in a towel and went to see who was at the door. She grimaced when she saw it was Genma. "What is wrong with that vile peon?!" She forced herself to smile, and opened the door.

    “Help! Help!”
    Miss Hinako heard the pleas for help and sped across the ice rink to find a young girl beating on a handsome young man.  She frowned.
    “Get away from him you little delinquent.”  The girl seeing Miss Hinako, shrieked and sped away.  Miss Hinako helped Mikado to his feet.  Their eyes met.
    Mikado kissed her hand.
    “My thanks, my lady.”  He leaned over, and before Hinako could react, kissed her fully on the lips.  They stood embracing for many minutes when they finally pulled away.  Hinako looked at Mikado shyly.
    “Why don’t we continue this at my apartment? I’ll just need to pick up some, uh, ‘things’ from the school first.”
    Mikado smiled, slightly woozy, but managed to throw on the charm.
    “Of course, my dear.”

    Kodachi was washing her sheets when she heard the doorbell ring. She hurried to answer it.
    "Maybe it's Ranma!" She opened the door to see Genma standing in front of her.
    Kodachi cringed. "Please, not again."
    Genma shook his head sadly. "Sorry, my dear, but I'm afraid I have the urge, and you know Nodoka is not an option."
    Kodachi gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to throttle the fat slob. Instead, she put an image of Ranma's smiling face in her mind, and smiled at his father. "Of course, come one in."

    “Oh Ranchan! You were amazing!”
    “Please Ucchan.  You were fantastic!”
    Ukyo blushed and pretended to swat at Ranma.
    “Come on, you jackass!”
    Ranma grinned as looked at his fiance.
    “I guess I’m gonna have to break the news to Akane.  Oh well.”  Ranma looked serious for a moment, then both started bursting into laughter.  Ranma wiped tears away from his eyes.  “But seriously, I better go tell my parents and the Tendos.”  He kissed Ukyo on the forehead.  “I’ll see you later my love.”  Ukyo sighed with ecstasy, and lied back onto the grass.

    Nabiki was walking down the street when she heard a sobbing.  Carefully following the sound, she found herself looking at Kodachi weeping.  A strange feeling came over Nabiki, and she leaned down and put her arm around Kodachi.
    “Come on now, Kodachi, what’s wrong?” Kodachi looked up, her face streaked red with tears.  She bit her lip nervously then closed her eyes.  Nabiki was startled, but hid it well.  “Come on, you can tell me.”  Kodachi nodded her head slowly.
    “Ranma’s father has been . . . taking advantage of me, telling me that by doing so he will tell Ranma to choose me as his wife.  It’s been . . .”  She started sobbing again.  “Horrible! I had wanted to save myself for Ranma, but now I can’t even bear to look at myself in the mirror.”  Nabiki rubbed Kodachi’s shoulders.
    “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.  But in the meantime, let me take you to someone who can help you through your problems.”
    “Who?” Kodachi rubbed her eyes.
    “A doctor.”
    Kodachi straigtened. "Very well, let's go."

    Asuza ran and ran. She couldn't believe some older woman, and a _teach_ at that, had stolen Mikado from her. Well, two could play that game. She spotted an older man, bald with glasses and haunch. Asuza grinned. Child's play.
(Yikes. Let's leave this one to the imagination, shall we?)
*

    Nabiki and Kodachi sat impatiently in Dr. Tofu's waiting room.

    Nabiki grumbled to herself. "Where is that fool? It's not like Kasumi's around."

    Kodachi started sniffling, and broke down into tears again.

    Nabiki felt a strange pang, and somehow, a small attraction to the gymnast. She put her arm around Kodachi, and rubbed her shoulders. "There, there." Kodachi looked up, and their eyes met. Then both eyes were closed.
