" Who the hell are you?! " he exclaimed." What the hell are you?!"
The Akane look alike scowled. " And I wanted to sleep with you...oh well...Sorry Ra-chan, but you've seen to much so you have to die. Ta ta for now! " she exclaimed as a bright red flash blinded Ranma causing him to stagger back. The next he knew he was falling....falling....falling.....and than everything ceased.
Slowly, Ranma opened his eyes to find himself outside the house and in the arms of Soun Tendou. Ranma blinked and jumped out of his arms. " Mr.Tendou? W-what's going on? " he asked. Soun turned around to go back in the house, just before he completely went inside, Soun turned slightly to face Ranma. " Ranma please, be careful." and with that said, Soun went inside, leaving Ranma to blink in confusion.
Five minutes later, as he walked into the house, Ranma gasped as he saw Akane stare blankly into oblivion with pupil less eyes. He instantly rushed to her side. " Akane?! Are you okay?! " She didn't respond. " Ak-"
" Would you like some tea Ranma?" Ranma whirled around to face Kasumi.
"Kasumi! Don't you see Akane?! Do you know what's wrong with her?!" Kasumi nodded.
" Yes, I see. She just resting."
Ranma's eyes widened in disbelief. " Resting?! What are you talking about?! What's going on?! What's wrong with her?! " Kasumi kept her serene smile and offered him a cup that came from nowhere. " Please, have some tea. " she said.
Ranma stepped back from Kasumi. Akane still stared out into space.
"What's wrong with you?! No, I don't want any tea! What's going on here?
" " Drink the tea, Ranma. " Ranma,a whirled around to face Nabiki.
" NO! What's wrong with you all?"
" Please Ranma, drink the -oh my! " Kasumi said as she slipped. Ranma whirled around the to catch her. The tea splashed into his face and the cup shattered on the floor. On instinct, Ranma swallowed the sweet liquid, and his world slowly dimmed to black.
Extracting herself from Ranma's arms, Kasumi went to get a mop. Nabiki sat at the table and gently touched Akane. Akane rapidly blinked and than instantly started eating the breakfast Kasumi made for her as though nothing had happened. In the shadows Soun stood with a frown on his face as he watched his daughters eat and his son-in-law stare in oblivion. Turning around, Soun walked to his room. There were preparations to be made.
Kasumi hummed cheerfully as she washed out the cups of tea she made for Nabiki and Akane. The cup for Ranma had been long ago thrown away. She smiled happily as she made a cup for her father. " Father! Breakfast is ready! " she call as she picked up and cleaned the dishes that her brother-in-law and her little sister just ate out of prior to going to school. She frowned when her father didn't come down. " Father! Breakfast! " she cried out once more.Slowly, Soun Tendou came downstairs and started breakfast. As he finished he sighed in contentment. " Ah, Kasumi, that was incredible as always. " Kasumi frowned slightly. " Aren't you going to drink your tea, father?" Soun beamed at Kasumi." Ah, that's my girl! Always looking out for her father! Of course Kasumi! Let me just-oops." he said as he knocked over his tea. " Let me help you, father. " Kasumi said as she started towards him with a rag. Soun motioned for her to stop. " No dear, that's quite alright.Don't trouble yourself, I can do it." Kasumi nodded. " Okay , I'll just make you another cup." she said as she started to leave. . " That's quite alright, Kasumi-chan, I am about to leave to visit Saotome. " he said, Kasumi turned around." Oh?" she asked as she gave him a starmge look. Soun seemed not to noticed and nodded and left. Kasumi stood there for a while and than called out into the shadows. " Nabiki?" Nabiki stepped out of the shadows. " Follow him."she said as she walked out of the room. Nabiki merely nodded and silently left.
