Chapter 4- Alone...well sort of.

By Selene SilverBell

Ranma sits back down after the mini whirlwind left and stretches out on the couch. Lita smiles and lays down resting her long legs on his lap couch after she changes the setting to radio on her stereo. Ranma yawns and wraps his arm around Lita's legs giving them a small squeeze, hoping that she won't get mad at his persistence. Instead, he was greeted with Lita moving onto him forcing him back against the couch.

"Well, hello there beautiful. What brings you here?" whispered Ranma smiling at Lita's forwardness.

"Does it really matter?" and with that she forcefully kissed Ranma full of passion and heat. Finally after a few minutes they came up for air, and Ranma pulled Lita up as he stood up. They both stood there for a minute looking at each other when suddenly a bloodcurdling scream came from the guest room.

"Mina!!" yelled Lita as Ranma yelled "Ryouga!!" the two ran at top speed into the guest room not knowing what to expect. Sitting at the end of the bed was a very large bat that was half human, blood dripping from it's wings and teeth. The shocked half naked Mina was busy transforming into Sailor Venus and Ryouga was throwing his clothes on and looking for his umbrella.

**Venus Crystal Power!!** yelled Mina and she went into transformation. Lita jumped into the room and yelled,

**Jupiter Crystal Power!!** and she spun into transformation while Ranma took some attacks at it to keep the thing busy while the girls changed.

**Oak Evolution!**

**Venus Love-Me Chain!** as both separate attacks hit the beast was knocked out to the window and it then flew up onto the room of Lita's apartment building.

"Damn it! Ranma, Mina, use the fire escape! We'll go in the service elevator! Come on Ryouga!" Lita grabbed Ryouga's hand and they ran out of her apartment and into the service elevator.

"I'll need some help with this crank, it's a manual elevator." Lita slammed down the door and grabbed hold of the lever and Ryouga took hold of the crank.

"Okay, now Turn!!!" with that, Ryouga turned the tough crank as fast as he could while Lita pulled up and down on the rusted steel lever. With both of their amazing strength they reached the roof just as Mina climbed over the wall. Ryouga leapt into the air and brought down his umbrella of steel onto the gestures head with all the strength he could. The beast was stunned so Ranma picked it up and threw it so it landed on it's head. The beast was now unconscious, but they needed Serena to kill it off. Ryouga pulled out Mina's cell phone and dialled the dance hall that Serena and Darien were at.
