" Aaaakkkkkaannnnneeeeee..." a childish voice whispered.
Akane stilled. She knew the voice all to well.
" Akane-chan! Won't you play with me? "
" Dear god, no....." Akane whispered as she shivered and wrapped her arms around herself.
" Please Akane-chan? Can't we play? I've been so bored and so lonely..."
" Go away..." Akane whispered, " Please....just go away..."
" But I don't want to go away! I want to play! I want to do what we did to those mean men again, Akane-chan! Don't you remember what they did to mommy? Don't you remember how fun it was when we made those men's life leak out of their wounds? "
" NO! I DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!! GO AWAY!!!! "
" * Giggles* It was so funny, Akane-chan! Their life went drippy drop....drippy drop....* giggles* I want to do it again!!! I was so sad when Auntie Rei came to get us. I wanted to play in the bright red puddles!!! "
" DAMN IT!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!! GO AWAY!!!!!! *PLEASE* , JUST GO AWAY!!!!"
" *giggles* But I can't go away, Akane-chan! I'm you! Your me! We'll be together forever! " the childish voice said as the owner of it stepped out of a patch of mist. The voice belonged to no child. She was about sixteen years old with short blue hair and glowing red eyes. Smiling, the girl clasped Akane's hands and laughed quietly.
" See, Akane-chan? We look the same! Just you wait, Akane-chan! I'll come out again and we will play in red puddles and have so much fun!!"
Akane screamed and jerked her hands away. " Go away! Your just a bad dream! Just go away! "
The Akane look alike seemed hurt. " But Akane-chan-"
" LET ME GO! JUST LET ME GO!!!!!!"
The look alike seemed sad. " Ok, Akane-chan.....you can leave for now. But you will play with me later, right? "
The look alike got no answer from Akane, for the blue haired one had already disappeared.
Sadly, the look alike stood alone in the mist. " It's him......." she murmured. " It's because of him! Akane won't play with me because of that Ranma-baka!"
Her eyes narrowed. " He'll pay for that!" she growled. " No one takes Akane away from me! No one! Akane is my friend, Ranma! You touched her so I'll kill you !!!! "
Balling her fist, the look alike laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed..........

" KASUMI!!!!!" Akane screamed as she shot up in her sweat soaked bed.
Instantly Kasumi was in the room.
Akane captured her sister in a tight bear hug.
" Oh Kasumi.....I'm so scared...."
" Shush, Akane. It'll be alright. It'll be alright I promise."
Akane lifted her tear stained face. " What should I do? "
Kasumi looked Akane in the eye. " I don't know, Akane. But we can't tell anyone...not yet....it's too risky.
The world isn't ready for us yet. Promise me you won't tell anyone. "
Akane nodded solemnly. " I promise I won't tell. "
Kasumi than smiled. " Now let's get you ready for school! "
Akane smiled also and hugged her sister. "Thank you, big sister . "
Kasumi hugged her back. " Your welcome little sister. "
And so, the Tendou girls indulged themselves in idle chatter. Unbeknownst to them, a certain pig-tailed boy was listening to the whole thing........

Ranma Saotome frowned as he walked back to his room. Something was going on and he didn't know what. But it was hurting Akane and he would be damned if he let that happen.
As he opened the door and walked into the room, Ranma just happened to cast his eyes over to the mirror to see the reflection of a very pissed Akane Tendou. Ranma gulped. < She most have saw me leave > he thought as he turned around. " Listen Akane, I- "
Ranma cut himself off instantly when he turned around and saw that their was no Akane Tendou there.
< What the hell? > Ranma thought as he turned back to the mirror. He gasped as he saw the reflection yet again, this time making a slashing motion across it's throat and disappearing as quickly as it came. Ranma stared at the mirror in shock. And as he slowly stepped back from his room. Ranma could have sworned he heard a childish giggle.....

Happousai stilled in his tracks as a increasing feeling of dread overcame him. Leaping to the nearest roof with his sacred bag of panties.The perverted one surveyed the dawning city line. But, as soon as the dread came, it disappeared. But the newborn questions in the ancient one's mind did not.

Ranma could only stare at the chaos. As soon as he walked into the kitchen, knives flew at his head, glasses broke and the whole house begin to shake.
" What the hell was that? " Nabiki exclaimed as she ran down the stairs closely followed by her youngest and oldest sibling and her dear old father. Ranma was about to reply that he didn't know when he noticed he hadn't seen his father.
" W-where is pops? " he asked, his voice shaking. He just remembered that he didn't remember seeing his father when Akane had her 'Bad Dream" last night.
Soun frowned. " Yes, just where is Saotome? "
Akane was about to reply that she didn't know when she felt a cold shiver inside her soul.
" T-the backyard......"
Ranma turned to Akane and painfully took note on just how pale she looked.
" What? " he asked.
" U-uncle Saotome.......h-he's in the back yard.....Ranma! Get him, quick!!! " she screamed as she ran towards the backdoor. Ranma blinked and ran after her followed by the Tendou clan. Once he got outside, Ranma froze in shock. His fiance was now kneeling over his father's bloody body, crying.........
