[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Ranma groaned and layed back down on top of Furinkan High School's roof. Idly flicking a rock into the pool he tried again to figure out why he was going along with this.

***Flashback***

~SPLASH!~

A wet and soggy Ranma got out of the koi pond to see Genma-panda and Soun playing shogi as usual. A strange irritation made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. Before she could find out what the feeling was Soun turned his head and leveled a glare on Ranma.

"What is it?" Ranma asked looking around and down at herself.

"Ranma you have a job to do don't you?" He asked and stated at the same time.

"Not really." Ranma sat down on the ground and tried to think.

"Killing that animal was it?" Soun stated turning to Genma-panda who raised up a sign *Yup*.

"How is it that it's my job!" Ranma shouted getting right up into Souns face.

Genma-panda smacked her over the head with a sign before twisting it around and letting her read it.

"STUPID I'M HONOR BOUND TO DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU AREN'T I!" Ranma shouted in Genma-panda's face.

***End Flashback***

Grumbling he rubbed the lump on his head. Sighing he looked out over Nerima. Past 11pm it was too dark to see really much of anything that didn't have a light. On his back now Ranma stared up at the moon.

Blinking he felt an odd tingly race down his entire body. Glancing around he noticed that it was suddenly starting to get hot on the roof. That same voice from his dream came up once again this time simply laughing cruelly.

Suddenly the heat of his body became unbareable then he felt a cracking in his legs. Forgetting about the heat he looked down to see his foot sticking out of his shoes. They had busted through the seem in the front and he felt a tighting in the back of his legs.

Gripping his stomach he doubled over gasping for breath. The bones in his shoulders cracked and he felt his rips break and rebreak as they expanded.

Closing his eyes the voice's laughter increased until he opened his now red eyes.

Ukyo sat up quickly in bed as she heard a rustling in the alley behind her shop. Stepping out of bed she quickly dressed and peaked out the window. Down below a dark shape was sniffing through the garbage.

"Oh no it's the animal." She whispered to herself before turning and picking up the telephone.

Suddenly the back window smashed in and it landed heavily on the floor. Slowling turning Ukyo looked at the huge monster that loomed easily over her head. Deep blood red eyes glared down at her. It's mouth was slightly open revealing gleaming white teeth allowing saliva to roll down it's lips and land on the floor. Yellow claws on it's hands clicked together.

Backing against the wall she reached for a throwing spatula but remembered that she hadn't grabbed them. Closing her eyes and turning away she waited for it to kill her. Heavy footsteps came closer and she felt a sharp object touch just above her temple. Opening her eyes slightly she saw the creature no longer looked menacing.

It's clawed hand slowly ran down her cheek before it lifted her chin up slightly to look directly into it's eyes. Watching she saw it's eyes go from menacing to sympathetic she felt it's claw dig in slightly to her chin breaking her gaze.

"What are you?" She shakily asked.

A few raspy words came out but she couldn't place the language.

"Why are you here?" Gulping she watched it's gaze turn downward for a moment.

Suddenly it's hands shot forward and wrapped around her right hand before pushing it to it's cheek. So shocked she froze as it rubbed it's head against her hand. It's eyes were closed and it's body became more relaxed.

Starting to relax she felt it turn it's head a little more towards her arm. It's mouth opened slightly and nipped her arm braking the skin and causing her to retract her arm and hold it securely to her chest. Ukyo's eyes widened in horror as it slowly backed away. Glancing down slightly she saw that her arm was healed.

Turning her gaze back to the monster she saw it's head down and it slowly layed down right in her hallway. Slowly backing sideways and into her room she practically slammed the door closed and fell lifelessly back against it.

Ranma awoke to a strange feeling. He wasn't on top of Furinkan and he was in a cramped hallway. Yawning he tried to sit up but another body was in the way. Gulping he turned to see a naked Ukyo laying just off to the side of himself. Her eyes fluttered open suddenly and she saw her dream.

A naked Ranma laying next to her. Smiling she grabbed him in a huge hug and kissed him full on the lips. Ranma locked up immediately and he passed out.

Ukyo let off on the kiss and noticed that Ranma lay limply his eyes closed.

"Hey Ranchan wake up!" She shouted and shoved him hard into the wall. Instantly awake Ranma was up and out the broken window before she could blink.

Sitting naked in her halway with a large open doorway to the outside Ukyo was suddenly conscience that she was naked and people might see her. Up and in her room quickly she saw the tattered remains of the clothes she had put on last night after she had heard the noise outside. Strangest thing was that she couldn't remember what had happened afterwards.

Grabbing some clothes from his gym locker Ranma sat down hard on the bench. Staring blankly at the wall. 'How did I get in that position?' He asked himself over and over again. There was just no logical reason for it.

"I better go apologize for whatever happened."

Ranma got up and was about to leave when a bokken impacted his skull. Falling forward he hit his face on the floor. Roling over another bokken strike shattered the floor and sent shards of floor flying in all directions. Grabbing a bigger chunk he chucked it back at the attacker and got up turning to see it was Kuno who now had a chunk of concrete imbedded in his skull.

Opening the door Ranma walked out and muttered to himself. "Stupid Kuno."

***Author Notes***

First off this is never gonna be a lemon maybe a tiny bit of lime.
Secondly i'm sure i'll get someone on my ass about the hinting of Ranma/Ukyo pairing. For those of you who would review and bug me about it. "FUCK OFF!"

Finally this is only the third chapter in an estimated 7 chapter fic and won't follow this same pattern through the whole thing.
