Akane Mu: Disowned

Ranma arrived on the scene and was shocked by two things, that Shampoo was crying over Mousse and saying that she loved him and also that Akane wore only pink panties and a matching bra. However he quickly sprung into action and practically tore his top off and folded it into quarters. "Put this over his wound and apply pressure to it" he instructed the teary eyed Amazon girl. A quick examination revealed the Mousse's pulse was still there, if a little slow and that he was breathing. Then he threw his cell phone at someone gawking at the scene "call for an ambulance and the police" he ordered them and picked up Akane and pulled her into the shed. Finding her clothes, he quickly redressed her and then picked her and set her on his lap as she seemed to be in shock.

"Is Mousse going to be okay?" she asked.

"It's hard to say" Ranma admitted, he seemed to be bleeding a lot.

Akane moaned "it's my fault; he told me not to go out alone and looked what happened when I did"

"I'm sure that he doesn't blame you" Ranma soothed and placed his chin on top of her head. He'd never realized how perfectly her petit body seemed to fit into his.

He watched the now composed, but still weeping Shampoo, he never thought that she would act this way over Mousse. He thought that she hated his guts! "So they're in love?" he asked Akane.

She looked teary eyed herself "they were lovers until she lost their baby after being thrown off a log by an outsider that she lost the tournament to" Akane explained. Not seeing how Ranma went pale when he realized the real reason why Mousse hated him so much. "I'm sorry Mousse" he muttered under his breath.

"What was that Ranma?" Akane asked, enjoying being held after almost being raped.

"Nothing, Akane why couldn't you clobber those guys, I've seen you take out a hundred almost every morning?" Ranma asked her.

"They just wanted dates, these guys wanted to rape me. I just wanted to get away" she explained with a sniffle and Ranma pulled her closer to him again and vowed that he would never let her go again.

The ambulance came and took away Mousse with Shampoo, who wouldn't leave his side. "I should go to" Akane said.

"I'll take you there later" the kindly policeman said "I have to take you to the station to get you to write out your statement so that we can catch these guys. Do you wish to press charges Miss?" he asked her.

"Damn right" she said with a ferocious look in her eye. Ranma stayed with her while she gave her statement and then went with her to the hospital.

Shampoo met them in the waiting room with a ferocious hug for both "he just got out of surgery, bullet hit no major organs and he be okay" she declared. "Shampoo so happy!"

Akane smiled at her friend "that's wonderful" she declared. "Can we see him?" she asked.

"They say in about half an hour when he wake up from anesthetic" Shampoo explained.

They all had a seat and then Cologne showed up to settle his insurance questions "Shampoo what was that song he was singing to you?" Akane asked.

Shampoo smiled at the memory "You Belong to Me, it first song we ever dance to" she said and explained "someone brought back CD player with CD of love songs. We put on and tried to figure out how Americans dance to songs. I had seen on TV, so I showed Mousse. It kind of stupid holding onto each other and swaying, but we both enjoyed dance" she said with a blush at the memory of her head nestled onto his shoulder while they held each other close.

"That's so sweet, you really do love him don't you?" Akane said.

"I really do" she replied.

Ranma watched this tender exchange and resolved that he would get Akane home tonight "Akane, there's something I have to do at home. I'll meet you back here" he said and left her with a soft kiss and a hug.

"Looks like I not only one in love" Shampoo teased a blushing Akane.

"You don't mind that Ranma's paying attention to me?" Akane asked.

"No I thought love Ranma, told myself better for everyone, but still love Mousse. Mousse and I would get married, but he still have to beat Ranma" Shampoo explained.

"What if you had witnesses to say that he did, like Ranma and myself?" Akane asked shrewdly.

"That might work" she said.

Ranma walked into the Tendo residence and sought out both fathers "I have to talk to you" he declared impatiently.

"We have to talk to you also" Soun said. "Nabiki said that she will marry you, but she wants a large amount of money for it. If I take out a second mortgage on the dojo we should be able to do it"

Ranma waved his hand impatiently "forget about that for now. I want you to know that it was me who slept with Akane, not Mousse. What you saw was perfectly innocent" Ranma said.

They stared at him while this sunk in "you mean to tell me that Akane doesn't have a hymen because you two slept together?" Soun asked to clarify.

"She was my fiancée; does that surprise you so much?" Ranma asked.

"So that day at the Nekohanten?" Genma said.

"She stayed up all night talking him down and then they fell asleep, that's why their clothes were rumpled. Mousse's like a brother to her, he and Shampoo are in love" Ranma explained.

"Wait this means that Akane could be pregnant? We have to get you married son" Genma said. "Soun you need to get Akane home" he declared.

"Of course she's allowed home under the circumstances, I'm so proud of you Ranma, for finally listening to us" Soun said.

"You've done the Saotome family proud for claiming your fiancée" Genma said.

"You'll marry her right?" Soun said.

"Of course I'll take her for wife" Ranma declared.

Meanwhile Back at the Hospital

"Miss, he's been move to a private room like you requested" the doctor told Shampoo.

"Can I see him?" she asked.

"Yes, but try not to tire him out, he's still pretty weak from the amount of blood he lost" he cautioned.

"Akane you mind if I see him first?" Shampoo asked.

"Of course not" she said and smiled as the Amazon woman scurried off.

"So what are you going to do now?" she asked Cologne.

Cologne frowned "fix the idiot's eyes through laser surgery when we get back to China so that he will no longer be an embarrassment to my great-granddaughter and get them married, if she wants that young oaf then I'm not going to interfere anymore. I've meddled enough in my time. We're going to leave as soon as Mousse can travel; we've been away from our tribe for long enough. How about you Akane? You're welcome to come with us, a year training with the other warriors would make you virtually undefeatable" she suggested.

Akane wasn't sure where she could go, Kuno and Ukyou had both offered her places to stay, but she wasn't sure she should. With her and Ranma together now, there was bound to be jealous on Ukyou's part and she doubted that Kuno would remember to take his meds and would start to pursue her again. "I'm not sure where to go" she said.

"Well before you decide, I want to understand that being an Amazon isn't all about gorgeous people and martial arts. You would live rough and have trouble with the language; schooling is a part of belonging to the village, so you would continue your education. It's also about making hard decisions for your family, like I had to make when I decided to abort my own great-great-grandchild" Cologne admitted to Akane.

"You caused Shampoo to miscarry, but why?" Akane said in shock.

"There's nothing wrong with anyone else's vision in Mousse's family, but then again his sisters had a different father. His was a Caucasian tourist who his mother rescued from a wild boar attack; he only stayed long enough to impregnate her. When Mousse's eyes started to deteriorate he was misdiagnosed as having a genetic eye disorder by his first optometrist, it was only this year that it was discovered that his eye problems were due to his being born premature. I couldn't take the chance that his daughter might inherit his vision problemd. We are the ruling clan and can't afford to have such defects in a future leader, she would have been challenged for her right to rule and then we would have lost ascendancy. I couldn't let that happens, so I slipped some herbs into Shampoo's food to make her miscarry and get sleepy at the same time. I was fortunate that Ranma showed up when she did and made her social blunder. So I murdered my own great-great-grandchild unnecessarily. So before you decide to come with us, ask yourself if you could do whatever it takes to protect your family and position" Cologne said. Akane could only think about that.

Shampoo held Mousse's hand while he slept; he always looked so innocent when he did. His hair was pooling at his neck so she tenderly brushed it back. He frowned in his sleep and said "Shampoo?"

"I'm here Airen" she said, she pressing his hand to her cheek and he cupped it softly.

"You're crying" he said. "Did I do something to upset you?" he asked.

"No I'm crying with happiness that you're still alive" she said. "I don't want to lose you again" she said.

"I'm hard to get rid of" he said.

"Looks like I'm going to have to marry you to keep you out of trouble" she observed.

"I'd like that" he said, his own tears starting to flow. She leaned down and kissed him. Despite that he'd just gotten out of surgery, they made love with her removing her pants and him forbidden to move a muscle. It was awkward and rather daring, but they both needed the intimacy.

When Akane and the nurse walked in, they were both fast sleep clinging together. The nurse opened her mouth to protest, but Akane just pulled her away and smilingly shut the door after them.

Akane was surprised when Ranma showed up with Genma and her father. "Daddy?" she asked.

"Akane, you naughty girl, why didn't you just tell me that it was Ranma that you had sex with and not Mousse? It killed me to have to disown you" her smiling father said.

"Yes my son is a chip off the old block when it comes to women" Genma declared.

Akane could only let what they were suggesting pierce her surprised brain. "Huh?" she said.

"You know, you and Ranma made love. Ranma told us everything. I would have preferred that you waited until after the wedding, but still these things happen when you're young and in love. Now you can have a double wedding with Ranma, Kasumi and Dr. Tofu and come back home" Soun said.

Akane looked at Ranma "so you thought that a lie would help?" she asked.

"I had to tell them the truth" Ranma said, his eyes begging for her to go along with it.

Akane looked at her father and Mr. Saotome and saw them for what they were, shallow ridiculous men with too much time on their hands and nothing to do. Even Happosai had a hobby even if it was being a lecher. "So you believe Ranma and not me?" she questioned. "It's not true, I've never slept with Ranma or anyone; I'm a virgin" she declared.

Ranma looked at her sheepishly while Soun said "I can understand you not wanting to talk about it for modesty sake, but it's okay to admit it in this case. You are fully restored to being a Tendo and Ranma's fiancée" he declared.

Akane felt such rage that she crossed her arms and said "you people are unbelievable. I'm not coming home just yet; I intend to follow my fellow Amazons back to China to complete my martial arts training. I shall return a year from now and then I shall decide if I'm prepared to forgive you for how I suffered. Until I leave, I don't want to see either of you" she said indicating to her father and Mr. Saotome. "As for you Ranma, well good bye" she said and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Akane?" Ranma said and then led the protesting fathers out.

"So you've made your decision?" Cologne said.

"Sometimes families are a reason to leave" Akane replied.

Mousse healed fast and moved into Shampoo's room when he got back from the hospital. Akane knew that it was almost time to leave when she caught them making love when she forgot to knock one morning. Akane saw plenty of her sisters until she left now that she was no longer disowned, but nothing of Soun or Genma. Most of her friends apologized about their lack of support during her dark days and Ranma sent her a bouquet of flowers, but kept his distance. On the day she left the airport was crowded with people to see her off.

Six months later Akane Mu smiled confidently as she faced her opponent on the other end of the log, she could see right away that her balance was off and she held her chui incorrectly. Akane charged forward and sent her flying with a few well placed blows, making her the champion of her division. All of her other Amazons cheered for the popular girl and then she turned in surprise when she heard someone say in Japanese "I always knew you could do it 'Kane" her heart leapt to see Ranma there.

"Ranma!" Shampoo called and hugged him, not glomping as she used to. Ranma could only stare at her swelling belly. Mousse was behind her and shook hands with Ranma, genuinely pleased to see the other boy.

"So I guess you two got married, congratulations" he said, glad for the couple.

"Yes the day after the council got the statement from you saying that I kicked your can, thanks for that" Mousse replied.

"It was the least that I could do" Ranma said. "But how did you defeat Shampoo?"

"I was already pregnant when got back, no need for defeat. We just marry" she explained and touched her belly and smiled tenderly at her husband. "Ranma join us for festival?" she suggested.

Ranma smiled at Akane and said "I would love to" He enjoyed hanging out with his friends that evening, but couldn't take his eyes off Akane nor her off of him. She flashed a hand signal towards Ranma, which caused Mousse to blush when he recognized it.

"I think we should stay at my mother's tonight and let Akane use our place" he whispered to his wife.

Shampoo had caught the signal too and whispered to Ranma "press your three fingers together and link your thumbs and little fingers together"

"Like this?" he asked and then noticed a smirk pass between them and they excused themselves.

"So where have you been living?" he asked Akane, not aware that he'd just accepted to be her concubine.

"In Mousse's mother's hut with his sisters, they're all real nice and have been kind to me" Akane said.

"Are you disappointed I came?" he asked.

"No, I was hoping you would" Akane said and suggested that they go somewhere more private.

Ranma got a little nervous when she led him into a hut." Are you sure that we should be alone together like this?" he asked.

Akane sat on his lap and said "positive"

"Akane?" Ranma said with a blush.

"Ranma I've waited my entire life to make to the man I love, so don't fail me now" she said and kissed him like a woman starving. Ranma was a little awkward at first, but picked it up fast just like he did anything else he wished to learn.

"I love you too" he gasped when he came. Afterwards, he lay in her arms and felt like he was home. "So you're here for six more months, mind if I keep you company?" he asked.

"I'd be insulted if you didn't" she retorted. "We're going to need a hut of our own though, fortunately they grant them to Amazon women and their concubines" she said looking at him mischievously.

"So I'm your concubine now?" he asked.

"Only until I return to Nerima and take your last name. I don't have to live here to be an Amazon" she explained.

"Then you want to marry me. Don't I have to defeat you first?" he asked.

She turned on her side, so that her beautiful naked body was revealed to him "you did that the minute I met you" she said and they made love again.

Ranma pulled out his pack afterwards and delivered the package that the huge Amazon woman had asked him to take to Akane. "The largest woman I ever seen asked me to give this to you" he explained.

Akane opened it to find a jar that contained what seemed to be five oval animal organs of some sort. Ranma cringed in horror when he realized what they were and then Akane so did when he explained to her what they were. She read the note:

Dear Akane,

If a man tries to violate an Amazon woman, he must be made an example of. Men have two balls and need only one to reproduce. Here is what I harvested from each of your would-be rapists, they weren't too happy about it. These are what got them into trouble in the first place, let the punishment fit the crime as they say. They won't be bothering another girl again or I said I would be back for the second.

Yours,

Master Chang
