"The horror! THE HORROR!"

Happosai shuddered, tossing and turning on his futon.
Beads of sweat appeared on his brow, slowly trickling
down his pale, clammy skin.

Kasumi knelt next to the old master and placed a cool cloth
on his forehead. The wizened little man seemed to calm
down at her touch, but within seconds he was thrashing
around again. "The horror!ÊTHEÊHORROR!"

"Whaddya suppose did this to the ol' lech?" Ranma asked
from where he leaned against the guest room wall.

Soun and Genma looked at each other. "Whatever it was, for
it to have had such a profound effect on the master ... " Soun
trailed off, deep in thought. "It simply does not bode well,
Saotome."

"It must have been an unspeakable nightmare, truly terrifying
to behold," ventured Genma.

"The horror! THEÊHORROR!"

"So permeated with evil that it reeks with blackness," Soun
added.

"So repulsive that one mere look turned the master into a
babbling idiot."

Ranma snorted. "Like he wasn't one before?"

The two men ignored him. "Saotome?"

"Yes, Tendo?"

"Shall we?"

"Let's."

Two rucksacks suddenly materialized on the elder martial
artists' backs. As one, they turned to the door. "I hear
Hokkaido is nice this time of year,"ÊGenma commented as
they scurried down the hall.

Ranma gaped at where his father and Soun had stood
moments before. he thought,
disgusted that he hadn't foreseen their escape.

"The horror! THEÊHORROR!"

"Oh dear," Kasumi spoke up. "Grandfather Happosai is
getting more and more agitated."

Ranma went over and peered at the old man. Kasumi was
right -- Happosai was practically convulsing, his small frame
shaking violently.

"The horror! THEÊHORROR!"

Ranma looked at Kasumi. "Man, I wish I knew what it was
that spooked the old perv!"

"You wanna know, Fem-boy?" a snide new voice said.

Ranma spun towards the window. Hovering just outside the
guest room was a monstrous sight. An enormous creature,
almost two stories tall, lazily flapped its wings while several
tentacles writhed in the breeze. An eel-shaped tail
impatiently whipped back and forth, as if it were trying to get
a good look at the pigtailed youth. Sharp, pointy horns
sprouted from either side of its head. But the most horrifying
aspects of the monstrosity were the short, blue-black hair
framing its human, female face and the schoolgirl's uniform
covering its massive, bovine body.

Ranma blanched.

"Heh heh," the creature said. "Good to see you, too, Fem-
boy. You like the new look?"

Ranma's mouth moved but no sound came out.

The creature snorted. "Heh. Thought you, if anyone, would
appreciate it," it said with a sneer. "I was sick of chasing the
old goat to get him to change my name, so I thought, how
can I get him to come to me? Then I remembered how he
always seemed to, heh, cop feels off of you and your little
fiancee."

Ranma's eyes widened. "You mean you ... you ..."

The creature's deep brown eyes gleamed. "Heh heh, I
stopped by Jusenkyo for one last dip. You like the results,
Fem-boy?" It spun around in the air, the flaring uniform skirt
revealing a very large pair of blue polkadot panties.

"URK!!!" With a thud, Ranma passed out on the floor.

Kasumi went over to the window and clapped a hand to her
mouth. "Oh my, Taro-san, that isn't very ladylike, I'm afraid,"
she told the hovering akanenichuan-touched monster.

Pantyhose smoothed his skirt down and grinned ferally at the
Tendo girl. "Heh heh. Little girl, you just tell the old goat that I
know where he is, and when he's awake, I'll be waiting." A
humongous mallet materialized in the Jusenkyo victim's
hands; after cynically saluting Ranma's prone form with it,
Pantyhose flew off, chuckling evilly to himself.

"The horror! THEÊHORROR!"

Kasumi looked back at Happosai, who was sitting up, his
eyes glazed and staring at the space Pantyhose had just
occupied. Although the old master's jaw hung open, the cry
hadn't come from him.

"The horror! THEÊHORROR!" an unconscious Ranma
moaned, shuddering and thrashing about on the floor.

"Oh, dear," Kasumi said to herself. She had a feeling Ranma
wouldn't look at her little sister the same way ever again.

Author's Notes: Never, ever, ever eat two pints of Ben &
Jerry's and then read the Pantyhose Taro manga. Weird
things can happen.
