Dedicated to: Noah! ^_^ Hi hi!
The figure jumped down from the bookshelf and purple eyes shown with hate. "You I kill." The figure repeated. It held up a knife as Hikaru continued sleeping. Then the knife came down.
Mousse burst in through the door and Shampoo dropped the knife, it was blunt, so it would have been more painful for the sleeping Hikaru...but it landed painlessly on Hikaru's chest, which rose and fell as she slept on.
"Shampoo?" Mousse blinked. He had followed her. His eyes darted from Shampoo, to Hikaru, then to the knife. He decided not to ask, but took note on what he saw. "Shampoo, Cologne wants you."
"Why Great Grandmother want speak to Shampoo? Why
not later?"
"She would like to see you soon." Mousse said.
Shampoo looked at him with contempt, stinging his heart, and walked out
of the room huffily.
Mousse walked to Hikaru, picked up the knife, and dropped it into his pocket. "I do not know who you are...but I don't think Shampoo would really kill anyone...don't worry." He smiled at the innocent expression worn on the young girls face. This girl wasn't one of Ranma's fiancee's, so why would Shampoo want to hurt this girl? Mousse walked out, heading towards the Nekohaten to see why Cologne wanted to speak to Shampoo.
Hikaru tilted her head to the right, still asleep.

Akane smiled widely, her pencil moving across the paper, sitting by her desk in the afternoon. She finally dropped her pencil and picked up the picture. It was of her being held by Ranma, both looking on to four fallen forms...one with purple hair, another with brown, another with black, and the last one, the bloodiest body of all...Hikaru. Akane, in her current state, still knew that the biggest threat wouldn't be any of the fiancees. Not even Kodachi.
She let out a laugh and planned. She would pay for causing Akane to lose her precious Ranma. Yes, they would all pay, but she would be the one to scream and plead for help before she withered into a bloody, disgusting mess.
Yes...She would pay.
. . .
Ranma was on his way back to the Tendo household when he heard something coming up from behind. He leaped up and saw a man with black hair with an orange bandana around it. He turned around immediately to face Ranma after missing. "Ranma! I heard you did something to Akane! Prepare to die!"
Ranma dodged as Ryouga attacked once again. "Ryouga, leave me alone." He continued walking on, his thoughts on Hikaru and the fiancees. Ryouga prepared to go after him, but stopped for a reason unknown to him....he just did not go. Ryouga watched Ranma disappear behind a corner.
. . .
Hikaru blinked as she awoke from her sleep, night was gone, and morning had come. "Itai..." She brought her bendable but bandaged arm up to her head as she sat up. Her head hurt badly, and it was wrapped in bandage. She got out of bed and fell when she tried to stand, causing a loud thump and Dr. Tofu ran in.
"Hikaru, your trying to get out of bed already?" Dr. Tofu smiled, his worry gone a little after he realized she was okay. He helped her back into bed. Hikaru tried to move her other arm, but was rewarded with a surge of pain from it. She yelped, and looked to her side. She had forgotten her other arm was in a cast. Hikaru looked up at Dr. Tofu.
"I think if I just get a little help I could go outside...please? I don't like being cooped up in here so much.." Hikaru asked. Dr. Tofu looked thoughtful.
"I guess it would be alright if I let you out of here with a wheelchair, but you'd need someone to take you everywhere. You're too weak to walk still, and you can't move your arms very well so you can't function the wheelchair by yourself."
Hikaru smiled widely. "You and I could go to the tendo home and I could ask if they were willing me to be there in a wheelchair, if not, then i'll stay in this stuffy place."
"Stuffy?"
"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that, I meant
that it seems stuffy after being in here-"
"I know, I know. Alright, even if they say
no, I'll take you for a little walk in a wheelchair." Dr. Tofu left
the room and came back with a wheelchair, putting her in it. She
was clothed in pajama's, but she covered the waist down with a blanket
and put her (washed) red jacket on to cover the pajama shirt. He
gave her breakfast before he took her out for the walk.
"Today's saturday, right, Dr. Tofu?" Hikaru asked.
"Yes."
. . .
"Dr. Tofu?" Hikaru looked up as he pushed the
wheelchair down the sidewalk.
"Yes?"
"You know who you make me think of?"
"Hm? Who is that?"
"A father. You remind me of what a father."
Hikaru said honestly. Dr. Tofu laughed.
"Who's father is that?"
"No one's in particular..just a father."
"So I'm the fatherly type?"
"Yes, I think you'd make a wonderful father!" Hikaru
exclaimed. "All you need to do is find the girl of your dreams!"
"Ah..." Dr. Tofu looked around, then saw the Tendo
home, he crossed the street, pushing the wheelchair in front of him.
"Arigatou Dr. Tofu."
"You're welcome." He knocked on the door, and was
answered by Ka--No, Nabiki, thankfully.
"Oh, Hikaru, welcome back!" Nabiki said.
"I brought her here because all she needs to do
is rest a little more until she can walk.."
"Okay. This way."
Dr. Tofu and Nabiki, who was apparently to tired
to bribe them, put Hikaru in the futon she normally would sleep in, only
this time in Nabiki's room. For some strange reason, Nabiki still
didn't bribe them, and just went back to bed after Dr. Tofu left, with
Hikaru also falling asleep.
Nabiki opened one eye to look at Hikaru. "I
should make you pay to sleep in here...but I don't feel like it today."
Hikaru smiled. "What reason have you to bribe
me? I'm not after Ranma or anything..i'm not connected in the tight weave
of the story."
"Wonderful wording."
"Ah, okay. Er...I'm just Ranma's friend, so
why would you?"
"To get money to take care of my family easily."
"Oh...in that case, I'll pay you for letting me
sleep here instead of the room with Genma and Ranma once I get a job!"
Hikaru promised.
"Remember you said that, Hikaru." Nabiki turned
so her back was to Hikaru, and both went to sleep for the rest of the morning.
--End of Chapter Five--
That was horribly bounced-around and such..I think this is the worst
chapter so far...I might rewrite it later.
