Diablerie:Nerima
	
	Chapter 1

	Cologne looked up from her studies with a strange look upon her face.
	"Granddaughter, come here."
	Shampoo bounced over to Cologne,"Yes, Grandmother?"
	"I fear for my son-in-law.  I feel he may be in danger.  I have had
a scrying vision.  There are strange things afoot in Japan."
	"What so unusual about that, Grandmother? This place weird to 
begin with..."
	"Strange things even for Nerima!"
	"If Ranma in trouble, Shampoo help!"



	Ranma pranced along the fence to school, while Akane ran ahead.
	"Where're you going, Akane?"
	"I'm late!!"
	"For what? We're actually early, for once.  Which is strange
considering I practically needed medical attention."
	"I've got a meeting for the upcoming blood drive!"
	"Hunh? But the blood drive isn't 'till next month, Akane."
	"Listen Ranma, I don't have time for your useless comments!"
	"You're the one who'd commenting! I'm just asking questions."
	"Shut up Ranma! What do you know abour blo..HEY! Did you just 
call me USELESS??"
	Ranma then discoverd how to fly.. at least for the block or two
before he landed in a puddle of water, just freshly ladled out by the old 
woman living down the street.
	"Damn!" Ranma yelled, "ANDD I JUST DID MY HAIR THIS MORNING!!!"

	
	As the beatiful red-head approached the gates to the school, Shampoo 
just had to bounce over and glomp hello.
	"Nihao, Ranma, Shampoo come sit on face?"
	"WHAT?!?!?"
	"Shampoo learn that from american television show. It funny, no?"
	"What are you doing here, Shampoo? I'm gonna be late."
	"Shampoo come to save Ranma from terrible danger...and to give
Ranma freshly cooked ramen!!"
	"Danger..what danger? I'm sure Akane didn't make my lunch."
	"SHUT UP RANMA!! stop making fun of my cooking!" Akane yelled
as she ran by, nailing him over the head with the hockey stick she was
returning to the gym.
	"OW!! What'd you do that for?!"
	"Here, Ranma, Shampoo kiss and make feel better!!"
	"NO... OWW STOP THAT! YOU'RE HURTING ME... AKANE!! IT'S NOT WHAT
YOU THINK...I SWEAR IT!!!"



	Lunchtime approached.  Ukyo cornered Ranma, just as he finished
dousing himself with hot water, and asked him to accompany her to an inviting 
broom closetand sample some freshly cooked okonomiyaki.
	"Why did you store it in the closet... i mean couldn't you find
a better place to eat lunch?" Ranma asked as he was led away, unsuspectingly.
	Akane turned to Nabiki," Hey, where're they going?"
	"Ummm.. Akane.. you don't want to know."  Her forked tongue, however,
betrayed her as it flicked out and licked her lips, twice.
	"NOOOO!! I can't allow it!! He's MINE!!"
	Nabiki glared at Akane.
	"I mean 'ours' dear sister.  We can share."  Akane said meekly.
	"Of course YOU can share, sister"



	Meanwhile, in the broom closet...
	"Hey Ukyo, I don't see any food.. hey let go of that-Oh!"
	Half a minute later, Ukyo exited the closet, wiping her lips, with
a smile on her face.  She turned back to Ranma, slumped over in the corner, 
mouth wide open.
	"You won't tell anyone, will you," Ukyo said, girlishly, hands 
clenched tightly to her chest, eyes positively aglow with delight.



	Ryoga wandered through the streets clueless as to where he was, perplexed
by the activities of the night before.  He remembered Akane hugging him closely and 
then seeing red, often his reaction to the close company of females, but this time
something was different.  When he woke up this morning he felt particularly drained, 
but for him to lose that much blood there must have been a damn good reason.  Now if 
only he could figure it out.  Could it be that Akane had shown him a side she hadn't 
before? that could be the only explanation.  He always seemed to forget what happened 
while he was P-chan... only vague hints and recollections.  As soon as he found his
way back to the Dojo, maybe Ranma could answer his questions.  First he had to get back 
there, maybe those penguins could help, they'd never steered him wrong before.
