JWCH Chapter 13

Chapter 13

It was noon, and Ranma was still dead to the world. Akane had kept him awake late into the night all week long, “breaking in” the entire village. It seemed as if her adventurous streak was still there, if anything it was stronger before. They’d done it everywhere, on the roof of their house, on the roofs of all their neighbors’ houses, in front of Cologne’s house, and in the village square. They’d wait until midnight or later to go out and find their next spot so that they wouldn’t get caught, but they soon found out that it was significantly harder to get away with it in a place where there was a standing guard.

It was when they were doing it on the challenge log, arguably the place where the whole mess started, that they finally got caught. A guard patrolling the area happened upon them while they were in mid-coitus. The worst part was hat the didn’t realize that the woman was there until she hopped up on the log behind Ranma and whispered a question into his ear. He wasn’t entirely sure what she asked, but he was pretty sure he had an idea. Especially since when he turned around, he saw that the guard wasn’t wearing her armor, or anything else for that matter.

The embarrassment only increased exponentially when word got around about what had happened, and other adventurous couples were caught having some fun on the log late at night. The Saotomes even walked in on one such couple themselves while out for a stroll after dinner. Despite the fact that the guards didn’t seem to mind – mostly because they were the perpetrators themselves half of the time with their significant others – the elders didn’t appreciate the sanctity of the challenge log being tarnished in such a way, and ordered it to be taken down until the next tournament. There were rumors that the next time it was put up again, it would be guarded by eunuchs.
