Chapter 21
Planning and Preparation
Ukyo and Ryoga stared at each other each knowing exactly what the other was
thinking.
"YOU DID WHAT RANMA?" they both yelled.
"Well, Shampoo kinda wants to kill me," Ranma said quietly. "...um
..again."
"Not kinda, she really, really wants to kill you!" Akane
added. "Those holes in the dojo where meant for your head!"
What where you thinking Ran-Chan?" Ukyo pleaded.
"That's what I'd like to know," snorted Akane. "Some big plan!
Hide out at Ukyo's!"
"Hey!" Ranma cried in an attempt to defend himself. "There's
more to it than that!"
"Okay I'm listening," Ukyo hissed. Her Okonminyaki restaurant was
already a disaster area, the last thing she needed was a vengeful Amazon bursting
through the doors at any minute.
"It's quite simple we all go and hide in the mountains," Ranma
said. "I can't risk me or Akane going Neko, so we need some protectors."
"Oh Ran-Chan what a wonderful idea!" Ukyo beamed. 'If I can get
Ranma to go Neko and get him alone...'
"Yeah, Saotome that sounds great!" Ryoga echoed. 'If I can get
Akane to go Neko and get her alone...'
"What you guys like it?" Ranma said surprised. "Oh hi Akari
I didn't see you there!"
"Hi Ranma! Hi Akane!" Akari said bowing politely.
"'What do they know about pig-girl as well!' Ukyo thought.
"Hi Akari!" Akane said. "How's everything going?"
"Just fine!" Akari chirped. "My Sumo pig farm is doing well
and I thought I'd give Ryoga a visit. I haven't heard from him in a while
and I was getting worried."
"Okay!" Ukyo interrupted the pleasantries. "First I want to
know what have you done Ranma to make Shampoo want to kill you?"
"She only wants to kill the female-Ranma," the boy defended.
"Why would she want to do that?" Ryoga asked. "I thought she
wanted to marry you?"
"Well...um..." Ranma couldn't give a straight answer. What he wanted
to say was 'Shampoo has figured out that it's only Akane I lov... like,' but
he couldn't not with both Ukyo, Ryoga AND worst of all Akane looking at him.
"What's her reason's Ranma?" Akane question hoping that he had
forgotten exactly what she had almost said before Shampoo had attacked.
"Eh..." Ranma tried to avoid his fiancée’s glare. "She
had figured out I didn't like her that way..."
"Oh!" gasped Akane understanding his embarrassment." The,
the Neko..."
"Yeah..."
"What? What happened?" Ukyo snapped. "I need a translation?"
"It doesn't matter," Ranma muttered. "We just have to get
everyone out of here."
"Are you coming too Akari?" Akane asked.
"It's far too dangerous for you Akari," Ryoga butted in before
she could answer. Ukyo tried to hide her sickened face as the lost boy went
to his fiancée’s side. "It would be better if you stayed at the
Tendo's, you don't want to be caught up in any of the Neko business."
"If you say so Ryoga," Akari smiled. "Though I do want to
give you my maps I brought for you. Maybe there's somewhere safe in the mountains
you could go."
"It'd have to be somewhere secluded," Ranma said.
Ryoga and Ukyo agreed immediately though they had other ideas in their heads
why they wanted it to be secluded.
They began looking over the maps Akari had provided. "How about the
hot springs in the mountains?" Ukyo asked.
"Oh not more springs," Ranma groaned.
"But if you and eh.. If you got wet then it would be simple
to change you back," Ukyo said, she was going to say 'and Ryoga' but
had quickly changed her sentence. Ryoga glared at her knowing what she had
almost said.
"I suppose," Ranma sighed. "How quickly can you and Ryoga
get ready?"
"Ryoga's a walking campsite," Ukyo scoffed. "And I'm always
prepared to take my restaurant on the road."
"That just leaves us," Akane said. "I'll give Kasumi a call
it might be too dangerous for us to go back home."
"Alright and remember to say that Akari will be visiting," Ranma
added.
"Akari, are you sure you wouldn't want to go home?" Ryoga asked.
The girl shook her head at her fiancée, "I want to be close to you Ryoga."
"I'll go call Kasumi if that's alright with you Ukyo," Akane suggested.
"She can bring over our backpacks and take Akari home."
"Okay, good idea Akane," Ranma nodded. "I guess that just
leaves us with getting some breakfast?"
Ukyo rolled her eyes and smiled. "Anything for you Ran-Chan."

Nabiki Tendo stormed into her own house, furious with herself.
"Had a nice day?" Her eldest sister asked.
"Hardly," she scoffed. "So where are the kittens?"
"I really wish you wouldn't call them that," Kasumi sighed. She
was about to say more when the phone began ringing.
Nabiki growled and sat down. It was obvious that she'd missed whatever action
there had between Ranma and Shampoo. She glanced out the window to see the
holes in the dojo. 'Definitely missed it,' she strained her ears to overhear
the conversation. She heard an 'Oh my', 'Akane' and 'camping.'
"Let me speak to Akane sis," Nabiki said. "I've got to tell
her something."
"Okay, Akane here's Nabiki, she needs to talk to you."
The phone was handed over. "Listen Akane whatever you do stay away from
fish."
Kasumi looked confused but then she shook her head and when off to pack for
her house guest and sister.
"I'm serious, the fish is your Neko-Ken trigger!"
"Yes, oh my!" Nabiki spat. "Just do us all a favour and stay
away from any rivers with fish in them."
"Tell Akane I'll pack some protection," Kasumi called out.
"Right and I think Kasumi's going to pop a few rubbers in your backpack
just in case," Nabiki added. "What do you mean ew? You're going
to have to do it some time little sister, might as well be when you're fully
aware of the situation....huh!"
"What is it?" Kasumi asked.
"The little brat hung up on me!"
"I'll hurry to get their camping equipment over there."
"Did she say why she's going camping?"
"She said it had something to get away from Shampoo."
"Yeah we're all back to square one with her huh?" Nabiki sighed.
"I wonder if Cologne knows anything about it."
"Why don't you go ask her?"
Nabiki looked shocked, "me? do something without getting paid?"
"As a favour for me?" Kasumi asked her eyes locked onto Nabiki
unblinking as she stared pathetically at her.
Her sister growled. "Okay... but turn off that look."
"What look?" Kasumi asked innocently her eye lashes fluttering.
"Stop it!" Nabiki yelled. "That's it I'm going before I do
anything else for free."
"Bye bye."
****
"I can't believe Nabiki!" Akane shouted as she slammed down the
phone.
"What is it hun?" Ukyo asked.
"Oh nothing," Akane blushed. "My sister just knows how to
wind me up;" 'like reminding me of what Ranma and I did! I bet she knows
I wouldn't put it past her.'
"Yeah your sis can sure be a pain," Ranma agreed.
"At least she was able to tell me what triggers my Neko-Ken," she
sighed.
"What is it?" Ranma asked. "Cos' I know it can't be cats like
mine, most of the times you've turned there was no cats near you." 'Please
don't let it be me.'
"No it's fish," Akane said. "Which explains allot except for
the panties but I don't want to think about that...ew."
There was a scrambling noise as Ukyo made sure there was nothing in her kitchen
to set off Akane.
"Looks like fish is off the menu then," she laughed as she slammed
shut a cupboard.
"Akari are you sure you will be safe?" Ryoga asked his girlfriend.
"Yes Ryoga I'll be fine my pet pig is outside and he will guard me when
you're away," Akari said. "You have to promise me you'll keep yourself
safe."
Ryoga glowed red at the bold statement from the girl and looked across to
the others. Ukyo was the only one looking back and went back to her grill
when she saw him.
"I will," he assured her. "I have your map and the others
will make sure I stay safe."
Akari hugged him tight she only broke free when a spatula went hurtling across
her head and embedded into the wall.
"Oh sorry, I slipped," Ukyo cringed, more at herself unsure why
she had done it. 'Maybe I'm just jealous that Ryoga's actually got someone
that shows him affection?' Her eyes glanced across to the pig-tailed boy that
was busy eating the food she'd prepared.
"Great breakfast as always Uc-Chan!" Ranma beamed between mouthfuls.
Ukyo smiled back at him. "Anything for you Ran-Chan."
Ranma ignored her reply and kept eating the food, making Ukyo sigh and return
to her cooking.

Mousse flapped his wings desperate to keep up with his beloved. Shampoo was
streaking ahead of him her cat form making her more agile to run across the
rooftops. He wasn't sure which direction the girl was going but his more acute
bird senses told him they where leaving the Nerima district.
'Where is my love going?' He wondered. 'Why doesn’t she want to continue
trying to kill female Ranma? It's not like her to give up so easily.'
He kept up his pursuit desperate to help his friend in whatever mental state
she was in. Though there was no doubt in his mind whose fault it was.
'I will make Ranma pay for what he has done to my Shampoo.'
Suddenly the cat stopped and Mousse found himself colliding with the girl
turned cat.
"Meeeoowwwrrr." She mewed angrily at him.
'Why is she angry?' He wondered. 'I was the one that helped her see what
a waste it was chasing Ranma?'
The feline Shampoo hissed loudly.
Mousse trying quacking to her that it was only him. This didn't seem to stop
her. She swiped a paw at the duck almost knocking off his glasses. He tried
to get out of her way but her second strike sent him skywards. When Mousse
turned around and headed back there was no sign of her.
'Shampoo what are you doing?' He wondered.
But the white and purple cat was now far away from him and on
*******
"Hi Kasumi!" Akane greeted her sister.
"I brought as much clothes as I could find for the two of you,"
Kasumi said cheerfully. "I didn't know how long you planned to be away."
"We might be continually on the road if Shampoo really has gone back
to her old ways," Ranma growled.
"I'm sure it won't be that bad," Kasumi tried to assure him. "And
I'll make sure we'll keep Akari well looked after."
"I don't want to be any trouble," said Akari.
"Oh no trouble at all, it will be nice to have someone to share my interests
with."
Akane gritted her teeth, wanting to comment that she was interested in household
things but resisted.
"So where are you all going camping?" Kasumi asked.
"It's a secret," said Ranma. "We don't want anyone to be telling
Shampoo where we've all gone to."
"We're going to have to figure out what to do about Shampoo," muttered
Akane, still angry at Kasumi.
"Yeah, well we'll figure something out," Ranma shrugged. "It
shouldn't be too hard."
"Ranma, we've been trying to figure out what to do about Shampoo for
over a year now," Akane hissed.
"Hey, we'll figure something out," Ranma replied.
"Well I guess we better get going," cheered Kasumi. "The sooner
you all get going the further away from Shampoo you'll be."
"I just never thought I'd end up back to square one with her,"
Ranma sighed.
"Everything will turn out for the best," Kasumi assured him, "just
wait and see."
The Eldest Tendo sister gave Akane a strong hug, whispering in her ear to
look after herself. Akane blushed as she realised what Kasumi had slipped
into her dress pocket. She coughed trying to hide her embarrassment and waved
her sister away.
"Goodbye Ryoga, you be careful!" Akari called out to her fiancée.
Ryoga waved back, saying his farewell to her as Ukyo bashed her pans around
getting packed.
"You could be a bit more hospitable," snapped Ryoga as the door
finally shut and the echo of the girls 'goodbye's' still around.
"What?" Ukyo snarled, "I never did anything!"
"That's part of my point," growled Ryoga, "just know that
I'm glad I'll be married to someone as friendly and kind unlike others I could
mention."
"Oh mention these others please," Ukyo sarcastically sneered,
"do enlighten me."
"I won't, not in front of Akane!" Ryoga shouted, "I'll probably
say something a lady like her wouldn't want to hear!" To put more emphasis
on how angry he was the boy marched into a room, slamming the door shut behind
him.
"That's my cupboard!" Ukyo yelled.
"I knew that," came the muffled response.
*****
Akane sat outside the restaurant as she heard the two continue their fight.
It was strange how whenever those two got together they fought so hard.
'Almost like Ranma and I,' mused Akane, 'but then we have some really nice
moments together when I think maybe he did mean what he said on that mountain
in China.'
"Hey Akane," came a familiar male voice, "is it okay if I
sit here? Inside's getting kinda noisy."
"You'd think they where a couple the way they carried on," smirked
Akane.
"You don't mind do you?" asked Ranma, "I mean having to go
away to the mountains again."
Akane shook her head. "No it'll be fine, it's not like we're going to
Mount Phoenix. We'll think of something,
as Kasumi said it always works out."
"What like every other time? It always ends up us being back in the
same old per-dick-e-ment."
"Heh, yeah it's like there's some god out to make us permanently stuck
in this little rut of our lives," Akane smiled as she wondered if Ranma
got the word wrong on purpose. 'I should tell him NOW, it's quiet and there's
no-one around.'
"Ranma..."
"Yeah Akane?"
"I wanted to tell you..."
"At last I have found you foul demon spawn!"
"Ohhohohohohoho!"
"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!" screamed Akane her blood pressure
going through the roof at the appearance of the Kuno's. "ALL I WANTED
WAS TO TELL RANMA WHAT'S GONE ON WITH OUR NEKO SELVES! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO
ASK?"
"Verily, thy maiden's cry is most pleasing, but I will not be deceived
by you again demon." Takewaki Kuno said raising his sword, unaware of
the volcano that had just spontaneously exploded. "I am here to free
you my Tigress from the foul Saotome's spell."
"When we're through with you harpy, the last thing you'll be worrying
about is those Neko demons that are in you," Kodachi added.
"Oh, I am through will all this," hissed Akane.
"Easy Akane, I can take care of them," Ranma said, shocked at how
angry his fiancée had become.
But Akane wasn't listening to the boy, her eyes narrowed at both Takewaki
Kuno and his sister. Both of them had interrupted her quiet moment with Ranma.
She hardly ever got those anymore, there was too much chaos going on. Whatever
willpower Akane had been using to hold in her temper was now gone. She was
angry and the two Kuno's where the focus of her resentment.
All the sexual tension she'd been building up, everything that had happened
in the past few days. This was the final straw. Akane Tendo stepped forward
in front of Ranma.
"No Ranma, these two are mine," she growled.
***********
Author's Note: Ummmm Writers block sorry! But here we are with a new chapter;
hope you haven't all forgotten what was going on! Next chapter Akane's so
mad she wants to take on both Kuno's at the same time!
I'll try to update faster!
