Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Ranma and the Outers ❯ Truths ( Chapter 9 )

Ranma and the Outers. After reading “All My Outers” by PsyckoSama, I got this idea. While his was a good idea, I had to change it slightly and then wondered where it would go. Hopefully, it will turn out pretty good. This is Rated “R” for language and adult situations. This will have lime-ish content, but will not be a lemon as I will not be describing or detailing those things.

NOTE: My usual two Beta-readers have been unavailable for some time, so until I get other beta-readers, I will be doing the pre-reading myself. Of course, this means that I may miss a few things. So if you notice some errors, please let me know.

Chapter 5 part 2: Truths

“Ranma,” Michiru said softly. “I think it’d be best just to tell them.”

Ranma shrugged, “Sounds good… though even with the stuff they’ve seen it might be hard to believe.”

“Try us, we might surprise you,” Rei said with a hit of annoyance.

“Ok, well…” Ranma brought his hand up to his chin as he thought of the best way to explain it when Minako saw the ring on his hand.

“OHMYGODYOUGOTMARRIED!”

“What? He did?” Makoto asked and then saw the ring. “OH NO!”

Usagi then saw the ring and let out a girlish squeal of delight, “Oh you got married! Who’s the lucky girl and when do we meet her?”

“He probably married Akane,” Makoto said sadly.

Ranma scoffed. “That violent un-cute macho tomboy… never!”

Everyone blinked at that, especially since he had just insulted another girl. This made some of them feel compelled to defend her. “She couldn’t be that bad,” Ami reasoned.

“Not that bad? That un-cute tomboy never listened to me, never heard my side of anything! When Ryoga would shout ‘Die Saotome!’ and attack me, she was always saying that *I* shouldn’t pick on Ryoga! And then if I didn’t eat the toxic waste called her cooking then she’s hit me with her mallet!”

“Uh…” Ami said and looked around her for help.

Minako blinked. ‘Wasn’t this girl constantly described as his love interest?’ While she was glad he was not married to Akane, he was still married. “Is your wife Ukyo?”

Ranma sighed and calmed down. “No, she’s more like a best friend.”

Minako and Makoto started looking though some of their cards that showed Ranma with some of the other girls. “Um, Shampoo?” Minako asked as she held up a picture of Shampoo holding onto Ranma.

“Nope.” He said calmly though he felt like he should kill someone for taking this many pictures of him.

“Um, Kodachi?” Makoto asked as she held up a card of the girl with her ribbon wrapped around him.

“She’s an insane lunatic!”

Quickly, the two started going though cards of all the girls he knew. He was surprised by the sheer number, as he never realized how many girls had been after him. With each card held up, he'd tell them 'no' and after each no the card would be tossed away behind them. After the tenth card, he couldn’t stand any more. “Will you two quit it! I ain’t married to any of them!”

Ami was holding onto the discarded cards and trying to read the information on the backs of them. “How is this possible?”

“How’s what possible?” Rei asked with a little irritation.

“All of these cards state that his father either sold Ranma to them, or promised that Ranma would marry the girls… it's not possible for one man to marry this many.”

“Because my stupid panda of a father has no honor and never intended on honoring any of them.” Ranma was gritting his teeth though he could also sense that Haruka and Michiru were getting annoyed as well.

“Panda?” Usagi asked.

“Oh they have a trained panda that they keep in their yard,” Minako said and showed them a panda card.

“And they have a trained duck, a pig and a cat.” Makoto said which caused Ranma to flinch at the word cat.

“They ain’t trained… I…”

“Ranma,” Michiru said softly. “Perhaps we should take over.” Ranma looked from her to Haruka and when she nodded, he sighed and motioned for them to speak.

Ranma stepped behind them and knelt down by Hotaru, “Hay, do you have cards of those animals too?”

She nodded happily. “Yes, and of those others you asked me to bring.”

“Good…”

He was going to say more but Michiru called for everyone’s attention. “I am sure you have a lot of questions, but let me say this… while those other girls were just fiancée’s…”

“She not…” He said softly.

“We are his wives,” Haruka finished proudly and showed the girls her and Michiru’s matching rings.

While many would have thought that dead silence would have accompanied that statement, they would have been partially right. All of the inners were staring at Haruka and Michiru with their mouths hanging open. But the silence was broken by Hotaru’s giggling, as well as Setsuna’s outright laughing.

Normally Setsuna does not allow herself to laugh like this, but the reactions were just too much for even her. And so she leaned back against the wall and started to laugh. Her laughing only became worse when Haruka tried to give her a withering stare.

“I think the chaos in your life has just increased, Ranma-papa.” He gave Hotaru a sideways glance and only nodded his head.

“You’re already calling him papa?” Chibi-Usa asked happily and proceeded to hug her best friend and Ranma.

Mamoru slowly closed his gaping mouth and leaned over to Usagi. “I thought that… that Michiru and Haruka… were…”

“Lesbian.” Haruka supplied with a smirk.

“But… but… he’s a guy…” Minako said trying to understand how those two got Ranma.

Michiru tried not to laugh at her friends' dumbfounded expressions. “I think we’re what you call bi’s now.”

“Plus his cursed side is pretty cute,” Haruka said flippantly then realized that no one knew about it yet.

“Curse?” Makoto asked as she looked at Ranma’s card. “It says he’s cursed but not what it is… but…” she held up a Ranko card. “Ranko supposedly shares his curse.”

Ranma sighed, took the cards from Hotaru and stepped forward. “I’m cursed, and so is Shampoo and Mousse…”

“And Ryoga,” Haruka added.

“What about Ranko?” Asked Usagi.

Tiredly he said, “Give me a cup of cold water an I’ll explain.”
