Prologue: Omens
It was a beautiful day in Nerima Tokyo. That is, if you ignore the screaming teenager flying across the sky due to an incident with an infamous mallet. Akane stood on the sidewalk, an angry look on her face. 'That jerk!' She fumed. 'Why does he always insult me! Like it's my fault for making us late! If he didn't fool around with that Chinese hussy all the time, we actually might make it to class for once!' She stomped through the gates of Furinkan High, punching Kuno as he once again proclaimed his undying love for Akane Tendo. She sighed inwardly. 'All we ever do anymore is fight. I'm beginning to wonder if Ranma really meant those things he said on Mt. Phoenix or not.' She walked on, and then paused when a shiver went across her body. 'What was that?' She wondered. The feeling left a deep chill inside her. She glanced around but saw nothing. 'I'm probably just cold.' She thought uneasily. She decided to forget about it for the time being and make her way to class. She didn't know why, but she for some reason wanted to have Ranma nearby. 'Ranma where are you?'
"Man! What's her deal anyways! Like it's my fault that Shampoo keeps stalking me! Tomboy!" Ranma continued his ranting as he flew through the air, before smashing through the roof of an unfortunate Dr. Tofu.
"Good morning Ranma." Said the doctor in his usual calm state.
"Sorry, school, gotta go, bye!" Ranma flew through the doors and made his way to the school. He pondered about the morning incidents. Even after Jusendo and the failed wedding, him and Akane seemed to go nowhere in their relationship. 'Doesn't she realize that I don't mean half of the things I say? Oh Akane…' He paused as a shiver went across his body. His martial art sense went out as he felt the familiar feeling of foreboding. 'Something's coming. Something…bad.' He thought. He cautiously went into school, deciding to stay close to Akane the rest of the day. He didn't like this feeling of dread.
A being sat on one of the houses. Robed in black and purple, he radiated a powerful aura. He smirked at the antics of the two teenagers.
"Never before have I experienced a bond this strong, yet so feeble as well. It seems that one wrong word from either of them will destroy their already pitiful relationship forever. This aught to be amusing indeed." His violet eyes glowed with malice as he smiled.
"The female posses a power that even she does not understand. I shall enjoy taking it from her." He snickered, and then disappeared.
