Chapter 2: Is there a doctor in the house?
"RANMA! WHAT’S GOING ON!!" Akane yelled. "RANMA!"
A few minutes ago he was fine. He was joking about Nabiki and then he was grabbing
his head and screaming. Akane thought to herself.
There were students and teachers watching now. Some on the schoolyard,
others hanging from the windows of the school.
"Hey what’s going on with Ranma." One student yelled.
"Maybe someone should get a doctor." Another replied.
"A Doctor that’s it!" Akane said "Dr. Tofu would know what to do!"
Akane turned and searched the schoolyard frantically, and spotted her friend
Jenna. She ran up to the gaping girl. "Jenna! Jenna." Akane yelled as she grabbed
her arm to get her attention. Jenna looked at Akane with a blank expression.
"Jenna! I need you to run to Dr. Tofu’s and get him, NOW!"
"Huh?"
"NO TIME FOR HUH’S JUST GO!!" She took her friend by the arm and pulled her
behind her until she got the gate. "Jenna Please go and Hurry!"
"Okay Akane I will!"
Akane watched as Jenna ran down the street. "Thank the gods she’s on the
track team, and Dr. Tofu’s office is close by. Oh Ranma, please be all right." She thought.
Jenna ran up to Dr. Tofu’s office, passing the huge panda sweeping the front
walk. She ran into the office. "Dr. Tofu! Dr. Tofu!" she yelled slightly out of breath.
"Yes , is something wrong?" a tall man wearing a black gi and round glasses on his
face said. "I was just working out and..."
"No time for that now!! Ranma needs your help! He’s at the school, Go please! Hurry!!"
Dr. Tofu grabbed his medical bag, ran out the door, passed the panda, and took
to the roofs. It was quicker to go by roof. He was in good shape and jumped quickly
from roof top to roof top. He reached the school yard and ran right up to Akane.
"Akane what’s going on?"
"Oh Dr. Tofu, it’s Ranma, look at him." She said as pointing towards him.
Dr. Tofu look to where Akane was pointing and saw Ranma.
"He was on one knee a minute ago, screaming. But now look at him, he floating!"
Yes, indeed he was. Ranma floated about a foot above the ground, with his arms limp
at his side and toes pointing down. He look like he was being possessed with his blue
aura glowing around his body. His eyelids were closed but there was definite eye moment
behind them. Dr. Tofu could tell. He started to approach Ranma, he got within a foot of
distance and said "Ranma, this is Dr. Tofu, can you hear me?" no answer.
"Ranma, I’m just going to feel for your pulse." He went to reach out his hand towards
Ranma’s wrist. but his aura flared. A strong wind came from the glowing body pushing
the doctors hand back and throwing him back about five feet.
"Dr. Tofu! Are you all right?" Akane yelled as she ran to him.
"What’s going on doctor? "How did you get thrown back?" she asked while kneeling
down to help him up.
"I don’t know, but it’s like his asleep and dreaming."
"Dreaming? Why do you say that?" Akane asked
"His eyes are moving behind his eyelids, like when you dream."
Ranma began to levitate higher. He was a good 20 feet in the air now. Everyone was
staring up at him.
"RANMA! You sorcerer of black magic! I will strike thee down now!"
"Oh no, not Kuno. Not now." Akane said.
Kuno came running up with his bokkon in front of him. Akane gave him a swift
punch in the face and throw him over her shoulder, into a near by wall.
"There that will keep him out cold for a while." She said while smacking her hand together.
"Woah! That’s not right." Dr. Tofu said.
"What?" Akane yelled sounding confused. "What’s not right?"
"Well, I ‘m pretty good at reading peoples auras.?"
"Right, I know that." She said with a questioning look.
"Okay, Ranma usually has two distinct auras, his male one and his female one. And
now I’m seeing three."
"Three!" Akane yelled.
"Yes three, Ranma’s auras are usually blue, even through his female one is a lighter
shade. But this third one is purple."
"How could there be a third aura?" She asked the doctor "I can’t see it, I only can see
his blue battle aura."
"You can see wisps of it, look carefully." He said.
Akane raised her head and looked closely at Ranma floating body. She
couldn’t see what Dr. Tofu was talking about. "I don’t kn...." Wait! There she saw it.
It was flying throughout his aura. She glazed more and notice it seem to be coming right
from Ranma’s body. "Uh, Dr. Tofu do you see what I’m seeing?"
"Yes I do. And I don’t know how this is going to effect him."
The purple colored aura was overpowering Ranma’s blue aura. It almost completely
covered his, when quick flashes of light were escaping Ranma’s now open eyes.
With each flash something was materializing. First Akane notice a green-blue jewel on
Ranma’s forehead. But when she looked more closely she saw it wasn’t Ranma’s face it
was someone else. Another flash. Now blond braid could be seen resting on Ranma’s
shoulders. The flashes came faster, like a strobe light at a dance club.
Akane didn’t know how much time had past. It could of been a minute to an hour.
But it didn’t matter, she couldn’t take her eyes of what she was seeing. Right in front of
everyone was this girl materializing from Ranma. The white flashes began to slow and
now the girl with blond braids and a green-blue jewel resting on her forehead was separating
from Ranma. The flashes were now slow and countable. On the fifth flash she was almost
clear from his body. The sixth flash was the last one. In the sky now held two different
people. A sex changing young martial artist and the unknown blond. Floating about a
foot away, Akane now understood the third aura. It was the girl’s purple aura. She
could see it now, along with Ranma’s blue one.
The students and teachers at the school just stared, stared with amazement.
The two figures were still in the sky, when both auras around their bodies faded and
they dropped. Akane and Dr. Tofu looked at each other and ran to catch the falling bodies.
Dr. Tofu got underneath Ranma and grabbed him before he hit the ground. Akane did
the same for the mystery guest. They began to lay both of them down when the girl in
Akane’s arms lifted her arm, spread her fingers and let go a white light that seem to
encase the school and it’s surroundings. Then she fainted.
To be continued....
