BattleMage Series

I figured that there should be a treat for those patient enough while I worked on the story. Enjoy.

“Oh. Morning Nabiki-chan, Ranma-kun.” Kasumi responded as she saw the two enter the tea room. Kasumi’s gaze drifted over the two, looking for any signs that could hint at both of them being married. She cursed herself for not finding anything that she could show, but did notice the closeness that they both shared was still there from the day before, ‘Maybe they still want to have that threesome.’ she thought as she set the last dish on the table, “Nabiki-chan, could I talk to you for a bit?” Knowing very well that Nodoka was up and fixing breakfast and that she should be back there helping Auntie Saotome, but this information was needed.

Both Ranma and Nabiki looked at each other for a moment before the middle sister decided to go talk to her older sister. Neither of them forgot that Kasumi found them in the furo and probably wanted to talk to them about it before she went to the fathers, “You owe me, Saotome.” Nabiki explained to him, pushing a finger against his chest, following her sister towards the furo where they could talk with some privacy.

As Nabiki entered the laundry room before the furo, Kasumi shut the door quietly and turned to her sister. Her eyes conveyed that she wanted some answers and needed them so she could tell the their parents about her sister’s hidden municipals with the Saotome heir, “Spill Nabiki.”

Even if she had just gotten up, and didn’t get quite enough sleep as she wanted, Nabiki knew that her sister wanted the sordid details of her experience with Ranma. Just to be on the safe side, however, she decided that her older sister would have to ask the question first before she would divulge any information, “About what, dear sister?”

“About when you were going to tell me you and Ranma-kun got married!”

I’m still working on part 2 of the story. I admit though it has been very tough trying to get everything written down and categorized the way it should be while working on a few other things at the same time. Still I have plenty of ideas and I’m still writing on the story.

Chapter 1 has been completed, in the fact that the rest of the chapter has been written and finished in how it will go from start to finish. Right now we’re in the clean up stage as well as beta reading it.

So far there has been some good reviews for the chapter and many have made mentioned to a few issues, those are being cleaned up as we speak.

Once the chapter has been finished and worked, it will be posted. Work on chapter 2 will be starting in the next week.

You can read/check it out and make corrections and checks here

Here’s a bit of the next scene we finished. Just the last part and we should have it up for posting.

It was a short trip to the skating rink, with the three passing the time with small talk about inane topics and deliberately avoiding mention of the wedding attempt or Ranma. Shortly after their arrival and the subsequent rental of three pairs of ice skates, they were all out on the ice, gliding about and trying to look as graceful as possible or simply doing their best to avoid collisions with other skaters.

“Akane,” Yuka said after a time, finding herself unusually reluctant to completely drop the subject, “I still think you’re blaming too much on Ranma.” In truth, like many of the girls at Furinkan, Yuka had more than a passing crush on the handsome young martial artist. If Akane had not been a long time friend, or been so violent in marking him as ‘her’ property, Yuka would have jumped at the chance of gaining him as a boyfriend. “From what you told us, he didn’t even know about the wedding until he got home, so he couldn’t have invited anyone to something he didn’t even know about.”

Akane shot her friend a betrayed look for bringing the subject back up, but couldn’t find a way to refute Yuka’s statement. At least, not in any way that made sense. So okay, maybe Ranma was not ‘directly’ involved in ruining her wedding day, but… “I still say it’s his fault,” she finally responded with some heat in her voice. “Maybe not directly, but by refusing to get rid of the other girls, once and for all, he all but gives them an open invitation to interfere in our lives whenever it suits them.”

“Can he ‘get rid of the other girls’, Akane?” Yuka pressed. “As I understand it, his father took Ukyo’s dowry and Shampoo is already married to him under her laws. Kodachi probably wouldn’t listen to him, even if he told her point blank that he wasn’t interested in her, as crazy as she is.”

After the holidays have left we might have it completed. Until then. Happy Holidays!
