Ranma woke up the next day to the usual 'training' with his father before breakfast. Ranma/Akane was late getting down to breakfast and started eating after Ranma was finished. Nabiki was about to head out, before Ranma/Akane called out to her.
"Hey sis, do you mind taking Ranma with you this morning? I don't want to risk him being late because of me." Ranma/Akane asked.
"It'll be..." Nabiki started, before Ranma grabbed her hand and dragged her out.
"Free of charge, just this once, because ya need ta stop bein' a gold digger." Ranma interrupted, not wanting any argument from the older girl.
_____________________________
After getting out of earshot from the Tendo Dojo, Ranma finally let go of Nabiki; however, the entire time he was dragging her, and even now, he was channeling his Aura into her, causing her to go silent as his Aura overwrote hers. Ranma/Nabiki took a breath and sighed.
"Not for nothing, but Nabiki did have a bit of resistance, in her own way." Ranma/Nabiki said as the two started walking, Ranma jumping onto the fence, "I guess between whatever meager training she got as a child, and her strong willed personality, she could fight off weaker influences."
"So, we gettin' freebies now?" Ranma asked.
"I mean... yeah, but also..." Ranma/Nabiki began, "...having her intelligence allows me to understand what she's doing that's legal and illegal. Also, Kuno is an infinite source of income, if you and Akane are willing...?"
"I'll think about it." Ranma sighed reluctantly.
They approached school and went their separate ways, explaining to the school that Akane was running late due to oversleeping.
_____________________________
During lunch, Ranma intentionally skipped the cafeteria in favor of heading to the roof, and as expected... Shampoo showed up with lunch from the Nekohanten. Ranma invited her to sit with him while he ate. Shampoo wasn't gonna to look a gift horse in the mouth and instantly sat next to him.
A few minutes later, while Ranma was eating, Shampoo started clutching her head, as if she had a headache.
"Airen... Is this your Aura Shampoo feeling?" Shampoo asked.
Ranma was suddenly nervous. He knew Shampoo would have greater defenses than Akane or Ukyo, but to actually discern his Aura in her body was somewhat impressive.
"Shampoo love it..." Shampoo admitted, sighing as she basked in his Aura, despite the headache. A moment later, Shampoo moaned, "So this is how it feels to be Shampoo... huh. It doesn't feel like I'm scared of my cursed form. Thank you Shampoo!!"
Ranma chuckled as Ranma/Shampoo stood up and kissed him, before grabbing Shampoo's bike, "Better get back to Great Grandmother. Hopefully she'll give her blessing for this."
With that, Ranma/Shampoo headed back out.
What does Ranma do next?  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
