Water made me flourish water made me glad water made me happy water makes me sad Water was a drink to me water stopped my thirst water was always close to me water now triggers my curse Water from jusenkhyou, how I hate that place water, cold, from crane flows, ready to splash on my face water, hot, boiling on the stove, wish I didn't need it so water makes up my life,... ...changing me wherever I go. It was raining. Ranma was a girl. In his hands was a furry creature that looked a lot like a cat. {(I know there's something wrong with this, but what?)} Ranma was at the moment not really himself. This could of course be said about him at every time he had been splashed with cold water, but today was different. -(What's the matter, Are you sick?) Hayai asked worriedly. Ranma stared out at the daze of rain in front of her and didn't answer. (Why, why did I do it?) She hugged her catlike companion a little bit closer for comfort. (Did I really throw a fireball at him?) She looked down at the creature she was carrying and sighed. (How could I let myself lose control?) She began squezeeing even harder. -(Too tight! Too tight!) Screamed a desperate voice in her mind. She didn't listen. (I don't deserve to be called a martial artist if I lose control so easily) A tear rolled down her cheeck, in the rain it made no difference. She rubbed it of with her wet wrist anyway. (No, guys don't cry) -(Puh! Thanks, don't ever squezee me that hard ag-...) She couldn't get any further before she was caught in a bearhug, the likes of which she had never felt before. -- -RYOUGA! An angry girl in dark blue trousers and a light blue jacket was leaning over a very frightened boy in a yellow and black bandana. -*gulp* Yes? he he hee.... -Don't tell me that you actually slept with someone. She said, looming over him. -We'll, he tried to shrink away, I -I -I.... -RYOUGA! In his mind he was about the same size as his cursed form. -Ididn'tmeantoo. He shot out. Naoko visibly calmed down when he said that. She calmed down, but not much. -Does... she... know? She asked in a restrained voice. Ryouga had the good grace to try and look guilty. (which wasn't in the least necessary since he looked like he wanted to commit seppuku then and there, but it did add something) -I don't think so. Naoko sat back and glared hard at her brother; after a while of this, she calmed herself. -Ryouga, the name was spoken with a dangerous undertone, I think that you should tell her. Ryouga just sat there, looking sad. -- Mika felt her stomach tighten. She hadn't had time to eat her lunch, she had gone to clear up some things with Nabiki. Of course there hadn't been time to eat. *grooooink* Her stomach growled at her again. She stopped walking and put her left hand on her tommy, her right hand was holding the umbrella. (I really wish that I hadn't skipped lunch) She closed her eyes and listened to the pitter patter of the rainfall around her. (There) She thought to herself (now it's passed) She opened her eyes again and looked out into the rain, trying to sort through shapes that were barely visible. (Where did she go?) She tried to bring up her right hand to shield her eyes, so she could peer through the rain. Almost instantly she could feel the wetness build up on her shoulders, and a bit on her back. She immediately staightened the umbrella and brought her left hand up instead. She bit her lip unintentionally (If I've lost her, then....) She willed herself not to think, if she thought about that then there'd be no meaning with what she did. There! She almost cried with joy, she hadn't lost "the subject". (I'll prove to Nabiki that she can trust me yet) She slowly picked up the pace so as to not lose "the subject" again. (This time I won't shy away just because it might be unpleasant) She wrinkled her nose when she thought of where "the subject" had appeared. (Even if she goes back there, I'll follow her!) *splosh* She looked down at the little girl who had danced up beside her and tried not to look angry. The girl, who was clad in a yellow watercoat, was standing innocently in a puddle. Looking down at herself Mika noticed that she was wet, waist down. -Hi, the little girl said cutely, who are you? -Hmph! She responded and walked away briskly, making sure that she could keep her eyes on "the subject" all along. The little girl stood there with rain all around, looking at her as she left. Then the girl's face lit up in a smile and the she ran after Mika. Mika was walking along almost fast enough to be running, but the little girl came up beside her and kept her pace. -Did you get angry because you got wet? -Yes. Mika responded, looking at the one she had been following. -Then you will be happy if you get dry? -Whatever. Mika said (If I lose her....) Mika lost her trail of thought as she was interupted by a warm wind creeping up inside her skirt. -- Akane looked out at the cold weather and shivered. (I shouldn't have punted Ranma, now he's out there wet freezing and female. The pervert, I wonder how he's doing) -Hey Akane! Over here! Came a voice from outside. Akane carefully opened the door and rushed outside. It was as cold as she had thought and she tried frantically to look around for the one who had called her out here. She stoped looking when she saw Ukyou with her large spatula held over her head, sheilding her from the downpour. -Akane! Over here! She waved with her free hand. Akane walked over to her and positioned herself under the spatula. -What? She demanded. Ukyou looked at her quizzicaly and began walking towards the school's gates. Akane hurried along, so that she stayed under the shelter of the spatula. -I was wondering when the competition was going to be, and what it was going to be about, I know that you are going to try and find something that you are better at than me.... It's just... just don't try cooking, that's all. -ARE YOU SAYING THAT I CAN'T COOK? Ukyou looked back at her with a look that spoke volumes of her belief in Akane's cooking skills. -Akane, if you poisson the judges, you will lose. Is that what you want? Akane just grumbled and looked at the horizon. (Wich would have worked, exept that there was a wall of rain blocking the wiew, not too mention all the buildings that usually were in the way) -Anyway, I want this this be fair. I think that we should start off with something that we can both do well. Ukyou looked questioningly at Akane for an idea. Akane continued to stare at nothing. -Akane? Akane turned her head towards Ukyou, still staring into the distance but at least in Ukyou's general direction. Ukyou's face darkened. -You did a good job of punting him today Akane, but you didn't do it THAT hard. Ukyou looked at her smugly. She didn't react. -You know, he really ought to have come back by now. Maybe he's with Shampoo? Akane seemed to wake up. Her eyes tinged with red and she adopted an angry sneer. With a sharp intake of breath, she readied herself for a familiar warcry. -RANMA NO BAKA! She stormed out through the rain, in the direction of the Nekohanten. (I wonder how many times she has to do that before he gets the idea) *sigh* (If only this wasn't nessecary) *splash, splash, splash* Ukyou listened closely to the sound. (Wah? It's coming closer?) Suddenly Akane marched into her view again. -And don't forget, WE ARE GOING TO COOK! She screamed before she marched off another time. -- The rain was falling heavily and Ranma was getting soaked thoroughly. The fact that she was drenched didn't bother her. Something was on her mind. -(Ranma, it's okay. Whatever it is, it's okay) Hayai soothed. Ranma looked glumly at her. -How would you know! -(We're linked remember) Hayai looked at her as if she should really know better. -What do you mean linked? -(Ranma look at me!) Hayai sent, squirming out of Ranma's grip. When she was free, she jumped down on the ground. Ranma moved to pick her up again. -(STOP!) Ranma stopped. -(Tell me, what do you see?) Ranma froze. In front of her was a creature that was a lot like a cat. In short, it looked like it was stll in the bath. Its hair was plastered firmly to its body, the long ears hung bakwards a bit, they seemed like they where ready to fall on the ground at any second and it was very wet. -(TELL ME!) The creature was ready to burst into tears at a moment's notice. Ranma's mind began to accelerate in order to figure this thing out. (1. She looks alot like a cat. 2. I can't be near cats. 3. We can't be separated. Conclusion: She is not a cat.) Ranma suddenly smiled in a Kasumiesque fashion. -I see a rabbit of course. Hayai looked down in the ground, shook her head and sighed. She lifted her head again, looking closer to tears than ever. -(RRRanma) she sent sweetly, letting the R rooll (Wouldn't you say that I looked a lot like a... ...CAT!) Ranma fainted. -- Happosai slumped down on the the floor. (Finally, finally I'm done) Before him was a huge bomb. It was at least the size of Genma, in panda form. (Now it's time to spend some well earned time with my pretties) He jumped towards the pile of lingerie that was stored in a corner. The pile moved away from him. (What the?) He jumped at it again. And again the pile pushed itself out of the way. Happosai tried to reach the pile again, and again, and again. But every time he got close to some underwear, it flew out of his reach. After a while he sat down, more exhausted than before. Even so, he was seething with anger. (So this is what she meant when she cursed me) He began pacing back and forth, despite being totally drained of energy. (How to get my hands on a bra, how?) He walked over to his stash of tricks and began picking things up at random, only to throw them back in again. (No, this isn't it. Not this either. Hmmm, a magical brooch. Why do I have a statue of a cockroach? There's that broom I stole from the dragon's nest. And there is the key to Ali Baba's chest. The mirror isn't here, but I knew that from before. *sigh* I couldn't find it anywhere.) He turned away from the pile and stumbled over a butterfly net. (There it is!) He thought happily. He took a good hold of the net and waved it experimentally over a bra in the corner. The bra didn't move. (YES! Now I can get ahold of at least one) He made a fast motion with the net and caught the bra. Then he slowly pulled it in. It was a huge effort, as it got harder to pull the closer it came. When Happosai came within three inches of his "pretty", he quickly swiped it with his left hand. He let go of the net and furiously held onto the bra with both hands wich flapped around in the air like a snake that had learned the "chestnut" tecnique. Suddenly it it stopped fighting and hang limply in Happosai's grip. Then, as he felt the elation of victory begin to overwhealm him, it crumpled into dust and blew away. -- Iruka scanned his surroundings for Ikyo. He found her standing beside an orange-haired girl whose clothes where caught in a storm of their own. (What is she doing?) The winds stopped and left the girl totally dry in the midst of the rainfall. Ikyo said something to the girl and the girl nodded. (She seemes a bit shaken) He chuckled to himself (At least Ikyo's not doing any harm) He looked around a bit in the rain and saw a formless shape lying on the ground. (By the lords!) He rushed towards the shape in order to help. -- Cologne was not in a good humor. (When I find son-in-law I'm gonna beat him to a pulp) She was hopping along on her staff, trying to avoid the puddles that were forming on the street. (Making me hop around in the rain like this why, that ingrate is no better than Happosai) She avoided the wave of water that came from a long black car that skimmed passed. (Hmph, at least he's young. He can be molded into a moderate husband and he IS fresh blood) *Atchoo* (Holly) She held her head in her hands and balanced on the stick. (I think I'm getting sick) She looked around determinedly in the rain. (I mustn't let that stop me though, I am not going to make any mistakes like I did with Happosai) She hopped off again at a higer pace. -- As Iruka came close, he noticed the cabbit lying ontop of the redhead. It was crying floods. (Something bad must have happened) He thought with alarm. He leaned down to check for wounds. The cabbit didn't notice him. (Well), he concluded, (at least she doesn't have any wounds, and she can't be dead in any manner or the cabbit would lie dead beside her) He stroked the cabbit to comfort it. It looked up and met his eyes, he could feel it searching around in his eyes trying to reach something. He felt like he had done when his "father" had told him that he wasn't good enough, and never would be. He felt the same as when he had told Narimako that he loved her and she had laughed at him, the same laugh that his "father" used to laugh. He felt as if he had tasted a bit of heaven and had been thrown into hell. She looked away and all his feelings subsided. (These two need help) He stood up and tried to locate a doctor's office. After what seemed like an eternity for both him and the cabbit he opened his eyes and spoke. -An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Internally he winced as he said it. It was the first thing that came to mind concerning doctors, but he wouldn't be able to find a doctor all day. (Maybe if I avoid apples) he thought grimly. -Oh well, I better get you dry in any case. He looked over at Ikyo, who was busy talking to the orange-haired girl. -(Ikyo, I'm going ahead to the Tendos. I'll wait for you there) He included a general feeling for where she needed to turn in order to get to the Tendos. He then proceded to pick the pair up in his arms. He jumped onto the roofs and continued in a straight path towards the dojo. -- --- Can you see the red thread, the yellow or the blue? Can you see the green one inbetween the two?
