Shampoo's eyes glittered as Ranma responded to her question.
"What do we have to do?" Shampoo clapped her hands together.
"I knew Ranma would see my way..."
-------------
-------------
Akane struggled to run, but her body did not move. She could
feel the bright lights shining on her from above. The cold steel, which
she lay on sent, shivers down her back. She could hear voices around
her. At first the voices were not distinguishable, but as time
progressed, voices became clearer and soon recognizable.
She was in a hospital.
Cold hands pressed against her bare chest as one of the
surgeons directed another for certain supplies. What sounded like a man
pressed his fingers from her collarbone to her navel.
"Scalpel." One surgeon passed the commanding surgeon the knife.
Again, he pressed his finger a little under she collarbone. Slowly the
man pressed the small knife into her skin. Akane screamed with agony as
the man continued cutting into her. Her screams were silent, and did not
disturb the surgeon. The surgeon then, assistant by another
surgeon, slowly pulled the flabs of skin to the side as if Akane was no
more than a dissection. The second surgeon grunted with disgust at the
site before her.
"Shh." the man said. He plunged he hand into the opening at the
bottom of the rig cage and wiggled his way to the center of the rib
cage. Again Akane screamed, she did everything she could to try to get
away, but she couldn't even open her eyes. The man grabbed onto
something in the rib cage and yanked it out. In his hand he held a
pumping organ. Blood dripped from his hand as he ripped the organ from
the body. It jerked and blood spurted from the veins.
"That's disgusting," said the woman. The man quickly examined
it before throwing it away.
"mmm... indeed. What a waste." The man wiped his hands off.
Akane struggled to move, but it seemed impossible. It was as if she was
drugged, yet she could feel all the pain. Her mind yelled and the pain
struck through her nerves, but she could not do anything. Her exposed
body lay still and was mangled from the man's work. The man turned and
looked at Akane's figure again.
"Please bring in the next heart donor."
--------------
--------------
They all stood around Akane's body. Shampoo had come back,
bringing what ever she had needed in order to wake Akane. Ranma looked
anxiously at her.
"What do we need to do"?
"Wait, no rush Shampoo." She glared at Ranma for a moment, and
then continued on to explain her plan. "You see this? Is heart pierce."
Shampoo opened her palm and allowed the necklace to freely dangle
from her finger. On the end of the necklace hung a charm resembling a
sword. It was about the size of a thumb. The serpent, which was wrapped
around the hilt of the sword, was gold colored with small jewels
implanted into it. The knife was silver, and the point was sharp.
"Hey, what are you going to?" Ranma asked, somewhat afraid of
the answer.
"You see..." She replied. She moved closer to Akane and kneeled
next to her so that her left shoulders lined up with Akane's right
shoulder, and Shampoo's right should stood lined up with Akane's
stomach. She held the charm up with the hilt upward. Her eyes were shut
and she began to chant something in Chinese.
Ranma looked at her with curiosity. She continued to chant and
her voice slowly became louder. Her voice was now as if she was
shouting. Her eyes flung open.
"AAAAIIIIAAAA!" She yelled. The charm quickly grew a foot long.
Shampoo plunged the sword towards Akane's collarbone.
"Shampoo!" Ranma shouted as her jumped forward to stop her.
>BaM< Ranma was smacked back into the wall. The force was too
strong and had reflected Ranma back. Shampoo pressed the sword down
further, but the sword suddenly vanished into the locket before she
could break it. Shampoo fell back.
"Ayia! Heart pierce is gone!" Ranma struggled and pushed
himself up.
"Akane! Akane!" He sat at her side, checking to see if anything
had been cut. He sighed in temporary relief that Shampoo had not
stabbed Akane, rather the locket. The locket. He peered at it. It gave
a soft glow, which quickly disappeared.
"Akane..." His hands were pressed against the bed. "Huh?"
Akane's eyes popped open. She stiffly sat up strait in a
constant motion.
"A-Akane?" Ranma's eyes widened. "Akane!" He said as he was
about to grab her but then he got a look into her eyes. Blankness
starred back at her.
"A-ka-ne?" Her head robotically turned towards Ranma.
"Ra-n-ma..." Her movements were sluggish.
"Akane!?" He moved to grab her shoulders. "Akane! You
stupid..."
"Ra-----nma..." She struggled to get the words to escape.
"Help... me... Ranma..."
"Akane... Wha--- What should I do? Quick tell me!"
"Ra-n-ma... help... me... please..." Akane suddenly screamed
and fell back. Her back arched as a light was emitted from the locket
again. Ranma moved his hands to block his head.
"Akane!" The light stopped. Ranma sat motionless, still
straddling Akane. He leaned forward, his arms holding him up, and
looked at Akane's eyes, which were closed once again. His hair hung
from the pull of gravity. He panted a little and whispered Akane. His
eyes were shaded by his hair, but that could not hide the distress he
emitted in his ki.
Shampoo watched it all. She stood up and brushed the dust from
her clothes.
"Ayia. What waste. Akane no wake up. Ranma no marry Shampoo
now, less Ranma want anyway." She moved close to Ranma, but moved away
as she felt his raging ki. She pouted. "Should have worked. Magic must
be stronger than think..." Shampoo turned and walked out of the office.
"Next time I know better."
------------
Nabiki sat in Ukyo's eating a delicious Okonomiyaki. It was
especial delicious since it was free.
"No wonder Ranma hasn't been by lately..." Ukyo said as she
cooked. Nabiki gave a muffed "mmm".
"Yeah, so I wouldn't be surprise if he's there all week..."
"Huh? Why only a week? Does he have the cure?"
"Well... sort of... But anyways, Dr. Tofu said that at the rate
Akane's going, she won't last too long."
"Oh..." <Hmm... This could be good, if there's no Akane, then
Ranma will be all mine... But, if she does die, then Ranma will be...>
"Ah... Ukyo, I think it's burnt..." Ukyo looked down to find a
small circle of fire.
"Ahh!" She yelped and began to smack the fire with her spatula.
Ranma sulked into the restaurant. He lifted his head and sniffed in the
air.
"What's wrong Ucchan? Smell like..."
"Fire!" Ukyo ran to grab a bucket of water. She quickly flung
the water.
"Oi! The fire not ME!" Ranma-chan screamed.
"Sorry Ranchan!"
>Fiiizzztttt< Nabiki was spraying the fire with a fire
extinguisher.
"Geez, you people can fight monsters and demons, but can't
handle a fire?" The two held their heads and let out a giggle.
Ranma sat down and let out a sigh.
"What's wrong Ranchan?" She flipped the Okonomiyaki. He began
to explain what happened with Akane and Shampoo's charm. Ukyo nodded,
hanging off his every word. Nabiki continued eating her food, it would
have seemed as if she was listening to those who didn't know her.
"Oh Ranma..." Ukyo tried to say sympathetically. Nabiki just
smirked.
"Ranma, Ranma... Did you really think that Shampoo of all
people could be trusted to bring back Akane?" Ranma looked rather
dumbfounded. <Hmmm I guess I didn't think of that>
"Ah..."
"That's what I thought Ranma. Why don't you just do what I
suggested?"
"Huh? What did you suggest Nabiki?" Ukyo rather curiously
asked.
"Nothing really. Anyways, I still have it if you want." She
held out the folded piece of paper from before and waved it in front of
Ranma. "I figured you'd lose it or forget about it, so I wrote it
again. Free of charge." She took Ranma's hands and firmly pressed the
paper into his palm. "Take it. Akane won't last long. You have to."
Ranma nodded.
"T-thanks Nabiki... I guess... I'll go now..." He walked out
with the paper in hand.
"Bye Ranchan!"
---------------
Kasumi, Soun, and Genma all decided that they would visit
Akane. They all sat quietly around Akane's bed. They...sat...
>Tick Tock Tick Tock<
"..."
"..."
"..."
Indeed they sat... rather still...
"Well I think that's enough visiting for now." Soun stood up
and assisted his daughter.
"On My. Akane does sleep well does she?" The other two stared
blankly at Kasumi.
[Do you think she knows?] Genma signed to Soun. Soun just
shrugged his shoulders and lead everyone out of the office.
------------
Ranma guiltily read the unfolded paper. It gave instructions to
where Akane's diary was. <Man... I can't believe I'm doing this...> He
walked into Akane's room and followed the instructions of where to find
the diary. After a quick search he produced what he was looking for. He
sat himself down at Akane's desk. He was on a stare down with the
diary.
"ARGHH! I can't do it!" He shouted to himself. <Get a grip, you
have to. For Akane's sake...> He lifted the book, and slowly cracked
open the page. A photo fell out of the cover. He bent down to pick it
up. He took a peek at the picture. His eyes widened.
"What?"
------------
Notes: Sorry it took a little longer to write, since I had lots of work to do... So
whatcha think? Just so you know, you are all my pre-readers, so any problems please
tell me... Thanks!
