The next day Kasumi was humming to herself in the kitchen. She loved to take care of her family. She was preparing breakfast when a familiar sound roared through the house "RRRANNNMMMMA!!!!!!!" Akane yelled "You Pervert!!!" "Oh my. Kasumi said. "Well I guess Akane and Ranma are up." "And so are the rest of us." Nabiki said walking into the kitchen, eyes half open and hair a mess. "Nabiki, dear could you please tell Ranma and Akane breakfast is going to be ready in a few minutes." "Sure sis." she yawned. "Baka. Baka Baka!" Akane said low. Ranma replied in the same low tone, "Tomboy." While feeling the new found bump added to his collection on his head. "Stupid tomboy." Akane glared at him. "Well, may I inquire what prompted this mornings fight?" Nabiki asked Akane. "Why are you looking at me? I didn’t start it." She said. "It was this," looking at Ranma, "pervert’s fault." "It was not!" Ranma stated. "Well I didn’t mean it." "Oh sure, sure you didn’t. You pervert." "Hey!" Ranma stood up. "Stop calling me that!" "Boy, sit down and continue telling us what happened." Genma said. "Okay, like I said before I didn’t mean anything. I had a really, and I mean really strange dream. But, it’s weird, as I try to remember it I can only remember a voice and a girl. And then I woke up all sweaty. "Geez, Ranma what were you really dreaming about?" Nabiki said with a sly smile. "Shhhh Nabiki, let Ranma finish." Kasumi said calmly. "Anyway," Ranma said, but not after giving Nabiki the evil eye. "Since I was all sweaty, I decided to take a quick bath. So I went in to the bathroom, trying to figure out the dream, my head was down and I didn’t see the sign on the door, and walk in and saw... umm...uh. I saw Akane there just getting up from the bathtub and...Uh." BAMMM! A mallet came crashing down on top of Ranma’s head. "Akane, you ever heard the word, overkill?" Nabiki said. "Oh you shush Nabiki, it wasn’t you in the tub. Plus, I don’t think you would of like it if this pervert came walking in one you!" A smirk came over Nabiki’s face, to herself she said."No it wasn’t me in the tub, but see the difference between you and me, Akane is that I would of charged him a fine." "What does it matter, anyway? He’s going to see you naked when you are married. What’s the difference if he got a peek now?" Nabiki said. "WHAT?!?!" Both Akane and Ranma Yelled. "Hey who says I’m marrying that tomboy freak!" "Tomboy Freak?! You’re the FREAK! And your not marrying a freak!?! I’m not marrying a FREAK like you!" Both continue to argue, about who’s not marrying who, and who is more of the freak. The rest of the family went on to their daily routines. Until Kasumi told the fighting couple that they really should get going to school or they will be late. In class 3rd period The teacher, standing in front of a map, talking about something Ranma could really care less about, continued her lesson. He was so tired. His eyelids seem as if they weighed 50 pounds each. His head seemed heavier, holding up his head with his hand he started to drift to sleep. This time his dream seemed empty. He found himself walking, walking along a black paved street. Fog surrounded him. He could here his footsteps echoing. There were no street lights, but the street gave off the glow as if there were lamps lit. Then he saw her again. Dress the same way he saw her last. With her long blond braids and a green-blue jewel resting on her forehead. She spoke. "Ranma, I have been fighting and running to long to keep it up much more. I am going to try to reach you by grabbing on to your position on the earth and pull myself through. "It's a tricky thing to do, but I have no choice. Are you ready? I will warn you that this might sting a little at first. " Ranma nodded his head. What else could he do. He didn’t know this girl, what could he do? Say no. No, I can’t help you, my life is much to important to help you. No! he was a martial artist with honor, and she needed his help. he was going to give it to her. Akane noticed Ranma sleeping again. He was nodding to someone in his dream. "I wonder if it’s that girl he’s dreaming about ?" she thought "probably some perverted fantasy." Akane looked at the clock on the wall. Class was just about over when she heard Ranma scream. She looked over and saw him grabbing his head in intense pain. His blue aura started to flare, but then died out as quickly as it started. Ranma laid with his head on the desk, and his hand fallen towards the floor. The teacher rushed over to see if Ranma was okay. "Is he dead?" asked a student. "That was weird." Said another student. "Please, this is Ranma when isn’t something weird happening to him?" said a female student. Akane didn’t like this. Not one bit. She pushed herself through the circle of students that stood around Ranma. "Is he okay?" she asked the teacher softly, so not to let the other students know that she cared for Ranma. "He has a pulse." The teacher answered. She pointed to a male student and yelled. "Go and get the nurse. I don’t want to move him." As soon as she said that Ranma started to groan, and move his arms towards his head. He lifted his head, groaning louder and rubbing it. "OH what happened?" he moaned sitting up. "That’s what we like to know, Ranma?" Akane asked. Ranma just seem to look past her and everyone else in the room. The bell rang. Ranma got up from his seat, grabbed his books and walked out. Akane sat there stunned, while the teacher was yelling at him to go and see the nurse. Akane then grew angry at him. Here she was showing compassion for that jerk and he just gets up and walk away, not even giving an her any idea what just happened. Later during Lunch. Ranma sat underneath a tree rubbing his head again. "This will sting just a little, she says, A little my Ass!" he said out loud, not caring that other students were pointing and talking about him once again. Not concentrating on reality, he didn’t notice the short blue hair girl sit down next to him. "So Ranma, are you going to tell me what happened back there or are you just going to let me guess?" she asked. "Akane...I...can’t for some reason remember anything clearly." I can remember bits and pieces, but nothing more." "Well, then tell all of what you do know." "Okay, I’ll try. I remember this jewel on this girl’s forehead. I think her name is Kayko and she needs my help." "Your help? With what?" "I don’t know. But the only thing I remember clearly is the last thing she said to me." "And what that?" "This might sting a little at first. " "The next thing I know my brain felt like it was on fire. Burning me, but at the same time a reassuring voice told me I’ll be all right. And... And?" And that’s it." That’s IT? She said "Yup, that’s it." "Well that explains a lot." Hey, what'd I say, that’s all I can remember." They both sat in silence for a moment, looking around the schoolyard. Seeing the students walking around, talking and occasionally pointing towards Ranma. "There’s a pool going around seeing how long till you drop dead, or some monster comes flying from your body." "Let me guess, Nabiki is running the pool?" "Did you really have to ask?" He laugh slightly "No I guess I didn’t. What are the odds?" "97 to 3" "Wow, I see everyone has confidence in me." Well, you have to admit that was pretty strange what happened to you. People thought you were dead at first." "Yeah well I hope I didn’t disappoint to many." Ranma started to get up and offered a hand for Akane to help her get up. She took it, got up and realized a couple of students were staring at her. She felt her face turning red and let go of his hand. "Do you think Nabiki will make a good profit." He said "Knowing Nabiki she’ll make a profit either way." They were in the middle of the school yard now. When Ranma heard his name. "Ranma." Someone said softly. "What?" "I said, knowing Nabiki she’ll make a profit either way." "Ranma I’m coming." Someone said again softly. "Did you here that?" he asked Akane. "Hear what?" "Ranma I’m coming now." "That! Did you here that?" "Ranma I don’t know what you are talking abou..." "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Ranma screamed and grabbed his head with both his hands. A blue aura flared around his head. The schoolyard stopped of moment. All eyes were on Ranma. "Ranma! Ranma! What’s wrong!" Akane yelled to him "AHHHhhhhhhhhhHHHhhh! He scream. Now his aura was all around his body, glowing. Ranma didn’t know what was happening to him. His head was on fire. There was no voice this time telling him it’ll be okay. The pain increased. His left knee was on the ground. He couldn’t stand anymore. Tears ran from his eyes. He felt like passing out, the pain was so bad, but then it stopped. He could no longer feel the ground below him. In fact he couldn’t feel his legs or his arms anymore. His body was going numb. "This is it." He thought "I’m a goner." "Akane I do l..lo..lov." To be continued... Next chapter: Is there a doctor in the house? ************* Author’s note: Well another chapter done.
