DISCLAIMER:None of these characters are mine,and no copyright 
infringement is intended.I've had Akanites rip both of my lemons 
either because it features a Tsubasa/Konatsu pairing("Take Me Out To 
The Bathhouse")or because Ranma chose Ukyou over Akane("A Wet Dream 
Come True").This non-lemon is my response to those negative comments.

"Konatsu Becomes a Marianne,"(A Ranma 1/2 fanfic)by Mike Rhea

******************************************************************

Konatsu walked through the streets of Nerima,depressed.It had been a
week since Ranma and Ukyou not only finally married,but also bolted 
Tokyo for the Kansai region;leaving the raised-as-a-drag-queen ninja
out in the dust.

He wandered in the direction of the Tendou Doujou.He knew that Ranma's
now-former fiancee,Akane Tendou,was similarly depressed.It had been a
couple of weeks since her tumultuous relationship with Ranma ended.It 
was made even worse by the fact that Ranma's mom,Nodoka Saotome,
influenced her son's decision.She didn't take long to be fed up not
only with the couple's bickering,but also with Akane's tomboyishness/
lack of womanly skills.She also berated both her own husband and Souun 
Tendou for "forcing their children into a loveless marriage of 
convenience just to preserve the future of the so-called-doujou."In 
fact,after the outburst,she accompanied her son to Ucchan's.As mother 
and son forgave the latter's best and oldest friend before she could 
apologize,it lead to a lengthy conversation which ultimately resulted 
in Ranma's "decision" (In fact,Ukyou's father happened to show up at 
the same time and took part in that discussion.).In addition,Nodoka 
threatened to make her husband commit seppuku in front of their son if 
he objected to their son's decision;since she knew that both Ranma and 
Ukyou,as children,were mutual victims of Genma's dirtiest deed.She 
knew that it was Genma's fault that Ukyou cross-dresses.When 
Konatsu overheard that Ranma's mom had invalidated her son's 
engagement to Akane,he realized that Ukyou would no longer be needing 
his services and that his dreams of "his boss" noticing him and loving 
him back would never come true.Ukyou had been in love with Ranma for 
many years;and just as she thought her "Ran-chan" would leave her out 
in the dust a second time,thanks to a sudden twist of fate,the boy she 
grew up with was finally married to her at last.In fact,the past couple 
of days,the homeless kunoichi had considered suicide,as were both Souun 
and Akane;since Ranma's mom,once allied with the Tendou family,had 
played a major role in ending her son's engagement to the Tendous.

As he walked towards the Tendou Doujou,he was unaware that a certain 
brownish-blonde-haired girl with a fetish for calling everything 
"cute" and giving them French names was walking in his direction.
Suddenly,as Konatsu neared the doujou,the girl not only noticed him,
she shouted out "MARIANNE!"

Konatsu,initially startled,turned around and noticed the beautiful 
lady before him.*Kawaii,* he thought to himself.

"Does Marianne want to come home wif widdle Azusa?,"continued the 
dark-blonde lady.

"Uh,sure,"replied Konatsu,blushing profusely as he realized that Azusa 
had fallen in love with him.

"You're so cute!"

"Thanks."

Konatsu and Azusa walked home together to Azusa's house.Though Konatsu 
had basically become a statue in Azusa's bedroom,he quickly realized 
that for the first time in his somewhat tumultuous life,somebody 
finally loved him unconditionally.

Later that night...

"...good night Josephine,good night Martina,good night Pierre,good 
night Francois,good night Georgine,...and good night Marianne."

THE END

AUTHOR'S NOTES:Hopefully,this fic will appease anyone who doesn't like 
my idea of pairing Konatsu with Tsubasa.'Cause no way am I ever 
pairing Ukyou with either of her drag-queen suitors.Besides,pairing 
Tsubasa with Konatsu isn't even half as bad as pairing Ryouga with 
Ranma-chan(eeeeeewwww!).
