[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

"Did you hear some girl got killed last night." Nabiki pointed out.

Ranma look up from his breakfest for a second, tilted his head to the side then went right back into shoveling his food into his mouth.

"Oh no Nabiki do you know how it happened?" Kasumi asked setting down more food which the Saotome's plowed down.

"Kinda, they say it was some sort of wild animal attack. Problem with that is that no animals have been reported in the area big enought to do such a thing."

"Ranma." Soun said putting down his newspaper.

"Whamph?" Ranma said between mouthfulls.

"I believe you should be the one to find and kill this animal."

"Why me?"

*Because it's a martial* flip *Artists duty to* new sign *protect the weak* Genma-panda signed.

"Then why aren't you two out there doing it?" Ranma asked.

*My son has no Honor!*

Taking the sign Ranma smashed Genma-panda over the head.

"Ranma thats no way to treat your father. What would Akane think of such a cowardly statement?" At the last part of the sentence Soun burst into tears.

"What do I care what that tomboy thinks anyways?"

"Ranma."

Ranma turned to see Akane standing behind him. A deep red aura flaring around her.

"No."

Bracing himself he grabbed a plate of food.

"BAKA!"

Flying up and out through the roof from a perfectly executed mallet strike Ranma headed towards school.

Staying awake in class was hard to do. It had always been so. Today it seemed even more boring than usual. The teacher droned on and on about useless information that in no way effected him. Yawning his head dropped and he went to sleep.

***Dreamscape***

"Yes you will do nicely." A throaty voice chuckled.

"Who's there?" Ranma asked.

"Not who boy, what." It said before punching him in the face.

Rolling Ranma got some space between him and whatever it was. Looking around he saw nothing.

"Come out show yourself!"

"You read our mind." It said before it stepped out into the open.

Close to 6'5 it towered of the smaller Ranma. Covered in a deep black fur it stood upright but seemed to be hunched over at the same time. It's head looked like a wolves. A tail waved behind it lazily. Long yellow claws poked out from it's hands and the toes on it's feet.

"Wha What are you?" Ranma asked stepping back slightly.

"I'm a werewolf boy. And now, so are you."

"No i'm not!" Ranma shouted throwing a fist at it's face only to have it crouch to the ground and bring it's head up smashing Ranma in his jaw. Falling backwards he landed on his butt.

"Pathetic boy. I am something you cannot hope to keep contained."

"Saotome Ranma doesn't lose!"

"But boy, there was never a fight. I chose you to follow up a vow I made."

"Oh yeah and what happens when your vow is done?"

"I'll be happy to leave your body." It's mouth seemed to curve slightly in a smile.

"I still won't do whatever you want!" Ranma said desperately hoping something would wake him.

"The next full moon boy I will take over. You will have no choice." It smiled again before Ranma was ejected out into class just as Miss Hinako drained him.

Waking again Ranma saw that he was in Dr. Tofu's Clinic along with a few other students who got caught in the crossfire. Blinking he saw that it was almost night out.

"Damn she knocked me out for a long time."

"Good your awake Ranma."

The door creaked open and Dr. Tofu walked in. Readjusting his glasses he sat down in a chair off to the side of Ranma's cot.

"What was it this time Ranma?"

"Chi-vampire teacher and some weird dream, no big deal really."

"What about the dream."

"Just some bad dream. Well thanks doc i'll be going."

"Alright bye Ranma."

Jumping over the outside fence Ranma was stopped quickly by an angry Akane.

"Where have you been?" She said in a low tone.

"Well Miss Hinako drained me and I have been at Dr. Tofu's the rest of the day."

"A likely story."

"It's true, even call him."

"Ok i'll believe you this time." Akane turned and stomped back into the house.

Ranma wiped some sweat from his forehead. The sweat came right back when Akane poked her head back outside.

"Oh Ranma are you hungry I made you dinner?" she said smiling.

"Well actually i'm not hungry at all Akane." Ranma gave her an answer.

Funny thing is that he hadn't tried to weasel out of Akane's horrid cooking yet for some reason he found himself flying over Nerima.

Well thats it for chapter 2. Nothing big happened so far. More or less a typical day in Nerima.
