Akane had just sat down at her first class for the day when she heard her phone ring in her pocket. She pulled it out quickly and put it on silent mode. She saw she received a text from Ranko and smiled as she read it.

Got the okay for today. Where and when should I meet you?

10:30 in front of the Admin Building, she typed quickly and tucked her phone away.

Her first professor was tyrannical in how he ran his class and she did not want to be the target for his ire. The last person who accidentally left their phone on during class was embarrassed in front of everyone as the professor asked them if they thought their call was more important than his lecture. The student was then called on to answer every question the professor had for the rest of the class.

When her lecture ended she tucked her notepad and pen into her backpack and headed to meet Ranko. It took her a few minutes to get there since the Admin building was on the other side of campus. When she got there, she sat down on one of the benches and took out her phone to check her email, Facebook, and her other various apps. She was surprised and pleased to see a new friend request from the redhead she was waiting for and she didn't hesitate to accept the request.

Finding nothing else interesting on her phone she tucked it away. She had some time left to wait and pulled out her notes from her earlier class. She read through them quickly, highlighting what she thought were the more salient points of the lecture and adding in a few notes that she didn't get to in class as well as some notes to look up additional information that would be helpful for the essay.

"Hi, Akane!"

The blue-haired woman looked up automatically at the sound of her name and saw a smiling redhead dressed in a simple white tank top that showed off her breasts and blue skinny jeans tucked into some short brown boots.

"Hi, Ranko!"

Her smile faltered slightly at the sight of the tall dark haired man dressed similarly in a black muscle tee that really showed off his muscular arms, a pair of dark jeans, and sneakers.

"Oh, Ranma...hi," she added awkwardly.

"Umm...hi," he said with a small wave of his hand, before he stuck both hands in his pockets and stood there uncomfortably.

"What are you doing here?" she blurted out before she could stop herself.

"Mom and Dad wouldn't let me come unless Ranma brought me," Ranko replied as she rolled her eyes. "They were afraid that I was going to get lost or molested should I come unaccompanied by a male relative. I was lucky they didn't insist I bring a personal guard and didn't force me into a chastity belt, too."

"Don't worry though, I don't gotta stick around," the pig-tailed man said, completely ignoring his sister's sarcasm.

"You don't have to go on my account," Akane told him.

"No, it's okay. I'll find something to do and meet you guys later."

"Are you sure that you don't want to hang out with us?"

"Nah, it's cool. I don't..."

"Okay, this is just getting too awkward for me," the redhead said interrupting the pair. "Why don't you two figure this out, while I go get us all some coffee. Akane, you okay with a mocha?" she asked as she began to walk away without waiting for an answer.

"Umm, latte please," the blue-haired woman called out after her. Turning back to Ranma, she gave him a small smile. "Why don't you hang out with us? It'll be...fun."

"No, it's okay. I don't want this to be awkward for you."

Akane closed her eyes and shook her head. This situation was ridiculous and partially her fault. It had gone on long enough and she needed to fix it.

Ranma was surprised when the blue-haired girl bowed lowly to him and said, "I'm sorry, Ranma. I shouldn't have been so rude to you last night, especially since you were a guest in my house. I made you feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. So much so that you're are still feeling awkward around me now. I was wrong, please forgive me." Akane gave him another low bow.

Stunned, Ranma stared at her for a moment before he said, "It's okay. I deserved it." When she looked up he bowed to her. "I'm sorry for the way I acted on our date and for my half ass apology when I ran into you again. I shouldn't have treated you like that, you deserve better."

"I should have accepted your apology when you offered in the first place."

"You know, we could go round and round all day apologizing to each other. How about we just say we were both wrong and accept each other's apologies or we'll be here all day?"

"Since that sounds fair enough, you've got yourself a deal. Now that we've forgiven each other, how about we start over? Friends?" she asked with a tilt of her head, her hand held out.

"Friends," the pig-tailed man said with a smile as he shook her hand, which was surprisingly small. He was glad they were starting over on good terms and ignored the disappointed feeling he had at the word 'friends.'

"Let's go find Ranko before she gets into trouble," he added and the two headed towards the coffee cart. His groaned when they got closer and he saw his sister at the front of the line. "I can't watch this, you go ahead. I'll just wait here."

"What's wrong?" Akane asked in confusion.

"You'll find out."

Shrugging her shoulder, she walked up to her friend and her eyebrow quirked as she came closer.

"Oh, really? I never knew that. You're like sooo smart!" Ranko cooed in a sugary sweet saccharine voice as she twirled her hair around her finger.

The tall, acne prone barista just smiled at her with a blush on his face. "Well, it's a really good school and you'll learn a lot if you come here. You'll like it a lot."

"Well, if everyone is a nice as you, how could I not?" she added with a giggle and clasped her hands together in front of her in a way she knew pressed her breasts together.

The barista blinked at her as he tried unsuccessfully to place the top on her cup, his eyes definitely not on his job. "H-here you go," he said in a surprisingly low voice after he finally managed to tear his eyes away and finish the drinks and placed all three on the counter.

"Thanks! How much do I owe you?" she asked, batting her eyelashes, tilting her head slightly, and smiling widely at him.

"Umm...umm." The barista looked stunned for a moment before he blurted, "It's on the house. Please enjoy them and come back soon!"

Ranko giggled and batted her eye lashes some more. "Gee, thanks!" she said as she grabbed one of the go cups and handed it to Akane. She grabbed the other two cups and gave the barista a flirtatious wink before walking off.

The barista just smiled dumbly at her as he watched her walk away. The guy waiting in the front of the line shook his head, having witnessed their entire exchange, and checked his watch to make sure he wasn't going to be late. He just wanted a simple cup of joe before class, was that too much to ask for?

"What was that about?" the blue-haired woman asked when they were far enough away not to be heard.

The redhead just shrugged as her brother approached and she handed him his drink.

"Sis doesn't like spending her money if she doesn't have to, so she scams guys for free food," Ranma explained having heard the question as he walked up.

"Does that really work?" Akane wondered out loud.

"Not always but you'd be surprised at how often it does," the redhead said with a grin, not the least bit embarrassed by her behavior.

Amused, Akane raised an eyebrow as she looked at Ranma. "And you're okay with this?"

"Hell no. Like I wanna watch my baby sister flirting with some guy using that cutesy baby voice and simpering giggle. It's really disturbing. Why do you think I stayed back instead of going there with you?"

"Well, if you don't like it you don't have to drink the coffee." His sister put a hand out and added, "You can just give it to me and I'll throw it away and you can buy your own," the redhead suggested.

"What? And waste food? You know how Mom feels about that," Ranma said before taking a sip of his drink.

Akane just laughed at them both. She wasn't one do something like that on purpose but she had received her fair share of free food and drinks in the past and always appreciated it. So if the redhead wanted to take advantage of her looks, more power to her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Normally during her morning break the youngest Tendo would be in the library studying but today she was in the bookstore browsing through the racks of Tokyo Metropolitan logo emblazoned clothing. Akane had already taken the Saotome siblings on a tour of the campus, telling Ranko how each school of study had its own separate sets of buildings. She had given them a tour of the main library and the quad - which had small stands to purchase smoothies, muffins and other food stuffs - before they came in to look around the student store. It was located on a small hill, the entrance was on the main floor which contained university merchandise and a small cafe while textbooks and other school supplies were located in the lower level. Once the girls began to wade through the clothing section of the store, Ranma begged off, saying he had not signed up for a shopping trip with his sister. He knew that although the selection wasn't very large, the girls would probably take awhile. His sister, while not very girly in most ways, loved to shop.

"So what do you think? The blue or the black?" the redhead asked, holding up near identical zippered sweatshirts with the Tokyo Metro logo on the back it.

"Go for the blue, it's a nice pop of color without being too bright and goes well with your complexion."

"Blue it is," she said putting the black one back and placing the blue one on her arm. They got in line and she paid for her purchase before starting towards the small cafe where her brother was waiting for them.

"What do you think of the school so far?"

"I like it. The campus is pretty and the boys are cute," she replied eyeing a couple guys a few feet away from her. "If the food is decent and the dorms are nice, I think I could be happy here."

"We'll check out the main food court after my lecture. For the dorms, you should know that while there are slight differences in the different dorms, all the rooms are the about same size, which you will have to share with a roommate that's assigned to you. They all have the same furniture; a twin bed, a small closet, a desk and chair for each person. If you want a mini-fridge you can buy your own or rent one from campus."

"That's good to know."

"Some of the dorms are co-ed and some aren't, so if you have a preference, you can make the request before school starts. After we have lunch later we'll go by one of them and you can check out the common areas, the bathrooms, and the bedrooms. One of my friends offered to let us in and give us a tour of her dorm. Hers is coed, so don't be shocked if you see a random guy walking around in a towel. "

"Really? That's awesome! I mean, not about the guy in the towel, unless he was really hot but about the tour. Thank you so much for taking the time to show me around and setting all of that up. I really appreciate it."

"You're welcome. It's not a problem, I am really enjoying my...."

The blue-haired woman was unable to finish her sentence as she was suddenly pulled back a few steps and forced to crouch down behind the large display case.

“Wha…?”

"Shhh," Ranko hissed. She peeked around the side of the aisle and grit her teeth. "Crap!"

Akane peeked around the side and only saw a very curvy female with long hair in a tight fitting short blue dress and pumps walking towards the cafe.

"What's going on?" she asked in confusion.

Ranko moved back and stood straight, making sure she was still hidden by the bookcase. Akane followed suit, turning around until they were facing each other.

"You see that girl? That's Ranma's ex."

"Okay, so what's the problem?"

"It'll take too long to explain," she said, waving away the question, she had to work fast as she knew the Chinese girl would find her brother soon. She grabbed the blue-haired girl by the shoulders. "Look, I need you to do me a favor."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ranma sat and glared at his phone, barely resisting the urge to throw it on the ground, frustration almost overtaking him. He had been so close too! Why was this so hard? All he needed was another combination and he'd pass the level of Candy Crush he'd been stuck on for almost two weeks now. This wasn't the first time he’d been tempted to delete the app from his phone but ultimately never did. The damn game was too addictive for him to go through with it. He sighed to himself before he started the level one more time.

Despite the frustration with the game, he was in a pretty good mood. He was happy that he had made up with Akane. Now that they were getting along, and he wasn't on the receiving end of her sharp tongue, he was finding it rather fun hanging out with her. She was smart, funny, and surprisingly easy to talk to. She seemed much more down to earth than the girls he usually dated, who tended to be superficial and a bit on the ditzy side.

Not to mention that she was sure easy on the eyes. Today she was wearing a simple yellow button up blouse with short sleeves and white trim, ankle length kakis, and ballet flats. It wasn't an outfit he would normally notice or look twice at but he found himself admiring how unassuming she was. She wasn't trying to look sexy all the time and it was oddly refreshing to see a girl who was so comfortable with her looks.

"Airen!"

Ranma whipped his head up in alarm at the familiar greeting. His eyes widened and he groaned at the sight of the Chinese ex-pat standing in front of him.

"Fuck," he muttered to himself before he stood up and crossed his arms over his chest. "Shampoo."

"It nice seeing you," she said with a wide smile. Her hands clasped behind her back as she pushed her chest forward. She knew he loved her breasts.

"What're ya doing here?" he asked in an irritated tone.

She shrugged her shoulders in what she thought was a cute way. "I just looking around."

"Hello, Shampoo."

Said girl turned around and plastered a fake smile to her face as she recognized the newcomer.

"Hello, Ranko."

"What are you doing here?"

"I just looking around. What are you doing here? Don't you have class today?"

"I'm skipping class today to take a tour of the campus. I'm thinking of coming here for school next year."

"Oh, good for you," she said in a condescending tone. She didn't care about the younger girl at all but knew the siblings were close so she couldn't alienate the redhead. For some reason, try as she may, they simply never got along.

The girls smiled at each other stiffly as an awkward silence surrounded them.

Shampoo was disappointed, she hoped to have more time alone with Ranma before Ranko showed up. It had been so long since she had seen him and she was hoping that they could rekindle their romance. She couldn't explain what it was about the man but as soon as she saw him it was like love at first sight. She knew immediately that she wanted to be with him so she had no issue with sleeping with him right away. She had then tried her best to please him in every way she knew. She cooked for him, tried to get along with his family, and most importantly tried to keep him satisfied in bed by doing whatever he wanted and offering some of her own very creative suggestions.

But for some reason his affection for her never grew and despite her offering herself to him as often as possible, in as many ways as possible, he even seemed to get bored of having sex with her. It was beyond frustrating. What man in his right mind would get bored of her body? Then she had caught him with some skank and he had been angry at her for her reaction! While she could admit she shouldn't have made a copy of his key herself, she reasoned that they were together and he should have offered it to her. She deserved it!

Seeing that he was upset she decided to give him some space but now that it had been awhile, she thought that it would be a good time to remind him of what they had together. She wanted to remind him of all the things she could do for him and to him. She knew exactly what he liked so she put on one of those tight fitting dresses that hugged her body like second skin that she knew he loved and some heels to entice him.

But before she had enough time alone with him, his annoying sister showed up. She was going through all the ideas on how to get rid of the little twit but before she could come up with something, she was distracted.

"Oh, there you are, honey!" The Amazon watched as a petite blue-haired girl came up and kissed her man on the cheek. "I found the book I was telling you about, I think you'll like it," she said looking in his eyes and giving him a small smile.

"Thanks," Ranma said in confusion, not understanding why Akane was suddenly being so affectionate or calling him ‘honey’. He looked down and noticed the rather pointed look she gave him and suddenly everything became clear.

Wanting to play his part, and for no other selfish reason at all, he slipped his arm around her trim waist and pulled her to him until her body was flush with his. He had to admit, he liked the way her body felt pressed against his. He was surprised at how well she fit against him. He only smiled wider when she rolled her eyes at his action.

Shampoo watched in envy as Ranma wrapped his arm possessively around the unknown girl's waist and smiled at her. The pair shared a look before the woman stepped back and turned around, looking surprised to see the Amazon standing there.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. Hi, my name's Akane," she said with a wave of her hand.

"How rude of me not to have introduced you. Akane, this is Shampoo. Shampoo, Akane, Ranma's girlfriend," Ranko said, emphasizing the word and giving the Amazon a smirk.

"His-his g-girlfriend?" Shampoo stuttered in shock. Not only was this girl not his type but the entire time the Amazon had been with Ranma, his family never acknowledged her as his girlfriend.

"Yeah and we all think she's great, especially Mom," Ranko added in an attempt to agitate the other girl. Her mother had been friendly with the Chinese girl because of their family connections but had never really liked the girl. She was able to see past the fake persona she adopted around the family and found her random drop bys to be tedious. But Nodoka had been too happy that Ranma seemed to be dating someone seriously and had tolerated her presence.

"Oh, are you friend of the family or of Ranko's?" Akane asked sweetly.

Akane felt bad for the Chinese girl, she could tell that the expat was upset and was starting to regret her part she was playing in this but she knew that Ranko wouldn't ask her to help had it not been for a good reason. When she saw how stiffly the siblings acted around the girl she had decided to help them out. Which she was regretting.

"No way you're with Airen! You not even cute! He would never date girl with no fashion sense that flat chested when he could have me." She threw her hair back and placed a hand on her hip before jutting it out to emphasize her figure. "I his love."

That got Akane's back up and any sympathy she felt for the girl was gone. "Really? He's never mentioned you before. Not once," she taunted.

Shampoo huffed and grit her teeth at the insult. She wanted nothing more than to strike the short-haired woman but held her temper in check, barely. She looked the blue-haired woman up and down in a condescending way before saying, “You look like frumpy housewife who gave up on life.”

“It’s better than looking like a Kim Kardashian wanna be with too much make-up and ratted hair.”

“You find your clothes at salvation army or from grandma’s closet?”

“It’s pretty early in the day for you to be working the streets, isn’t it?”

"Shut up,” Shampoo hissed. “She not really your girlfriend, Ranma," she stated, turning to the lone male in the group.

Ranma had been listening to their argument when he suddenly noticed what the book Akane had handed him was about. He grinned and looked up at the call of his name. He squeezed the blue-haired woman to his side gently and kissed her on the side of her head. He couldn’t help but take a sniff of her hair in the process. She smelled fresh and sweet, like strawberries. It was a nice change from the heavily perfumed and overly hair sprayed girls he was used to.

The gesture was so simple yet intimate that it had the Amazon's heart throbbing in pain. He had never showed her such easy affection while they were together. The pain increased as he gave the blue- haired girl a sweet look.

"Yup, my girlfriend. Thanks again for the book 'kane, I think I'll really enjoy it," he said to her before casually showing the book to Shampoo.

Heartache quickly turned to rage as the Amazon grit her teeth and clenched her hands as she read the title. Her whole body shook in fury as she finally understood the blue-haired girl's appeal.

She spoked quickly and viciously in Chinese, issuing a string of curses, or so the trio assumed. "You kinky slut only have him for now. He get bored of you soon and then come back to me!" she screeched before storming off.

Akane blinked at the vitriol and pure hate that had been rolling off the girl. She shook her head before realizing that she was still standing in Ranma's embrace. She stepped hastily away from him embarrassed by how she simply forgot he was holding her and how nice it felt.

She sighed at the entire mess, it was her own fault she had gotten into the situation in the first place.

"I need you to do me a favor. Pretend you're Ranma's girlfriend."

"W-what?!"

"She's a stalker and won't leave him alone. She'll try to follow us around all day if we don't get rid of her and this is the only thing that I can think of."

"I don't think it's a good idea, you don't know if it'll even work," she replied doubtfully.

"It will," Ranko said confidently. Thinking it was best not to wait for a response, she smiled and added, "Thanks, I owe you one," before she walked away.

"Ranko!" she hissed at her friend who didn't even bother to look back. "Damn."

Not knowing what to do, she walked down the aisle and watched them from around the corner. It sounded like neither of the Saotome siblings were happy the purple-haired woman was there. She sighed, deciding to help them out. She walked towards the group and on impulse pulled a random book from the shelves.

Ranko watched the Chinese girl go with a satisfied smirk. "Way to go, Akane. That acting minor is really paying off," the redhead said with a grin. "I'm impressed."

"Thanks! I didn't think it would work, much less so well."

"Yeah, you really pissed her off."

"Right? I wonder why she got so mad all of a sudden."

"Well, it could be because of the book you picked out," Ranma said, speaking up.

Curious, Ranko grabbed the book and her eyes widened before she began to laugh.

"Wow, when you get into a part you really get into it, don't you?"

Confused, Akane grabbed the bright pink book and turned it around, her eyes also widening as she read the title, The Cosmo Kama Sutra: 99 Mind Blowing Sex Positions.

"I-I picked the book out by accident! I mean I picked it out without looking. I didn't-didn't do it on purpose," she stammered out, her face turning redder and redder.

"It's okay if you're a kinky slut, I don't judge," Ranko said as she grabbed the book back and took a peek inside.

"Yeah, kinky isn't necessarily a bad thing," Ranma said off handedly as he took the book from his sister's hands. He really didn't want her getting any ideas. "How ever you chose it, it helped sell the story. I'm guessing that Ranko asked you to help me out?"

"Umm, yeah," she said awkwardly, now a little unsure about how he was going to take it.

"I really appreciate it. Shampoo...well, let's just say she's having a hard time moving on and hopefully this will help get it through her head that I don't want anything to do with her anymore." He scrunched his eyebrows as he wondered out loud, "But I wonder how she found us here."

Ranko shifted uncomfortably and Ranma narrowed his eyes at her.

"What did you do?"

"Me?"

"Yeah, you."

"Ummm...nothing?"

"Ranko. What did you do?" he said in an authoritative tone that surprised the youngest Tendo.

"Well, do you remember that selfie I took with you this morning in front of the school? I may have posted it on Facebook when I checked in," she said as she shrugged her shoulders.

Ranma sighed. He wasn't even going to ask why she was Facebook friends with Shampoo in the first place but he made a mental note to talk to her later about being more careful on social media.

Turning to the blue-haired girl, he said seriously, "Sorry for dragging you into this. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it," as he gave her a sincere smile.

"You're welcome," Akane said and blushed a little at how handsome the pig-tailed man looked.

"I should do something to thank you." He raised the book in his hands and moved it left and right in front of her. "How about I buy you this as a gift, since you are so interested in it," he said in a teasing tone as he wiggled his eyebrows at her.

"I told you it was an accident!" she hissed, her face resembling a tomato once more. She plucked the book from his hands and swatted him on the shoulder with it. "I'm...I'm just going to put this back," Akane said and walked hastily away while the Saotome siblings laughed at her.

Why the hell do they have this in the student bookstore anyways?! she thought in complete mortification.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A/N: This is dedicated to all my fellow Candy Crush addicts out there! I have no idea how universities work in Japan and used some American universities as inspiration for Tokyo Metropolitan. Ranma goes to a different school, a somewhat less prestigious university than Tokyo Metropolitan. You can't have a Ranko story without her flirting for food. The Cosmo book is a real one and I had to google it on my phone because I didn't want anyone to see what I was doing.

Sorry if my characterizations of Shampoo offends anyone who likes her but in the manga she was very forward sexually, on the ditzy side, and able to justify any of her actions. So it makes sense that a more modern version of her would focus more on what she can offer sexually in a relationship than anything else and would try to weasel her way into Ranma's life through his family. It should be obvious but I am not a fan of hers.

Thanks to alwaysZutarian for all her help!
