The hunter stalked his prey. Moving silently
through a territory all his. For the first time
ever he felt comfortable in his hunt. A sound,
and his head turned smoothly in time to see the
prey scurrying away. He shot off in pursuit.

Satisfaction Brought it Back
A True Story, by Neplusultra.

Disclaimer: I own absolutely none
of the rights to Ranma 1/2. The
amazing Rumiko Takahashi got to it
first. Great job by the by.

"Oh! I just can't _believe_ that Ranma. He
was hanging all over Shampoo." Akane stormed
about the house looking for something. After
a bit she went to the living room to ask her
sister. "Nabiki, have you seen P-chan? He was
here when I got home."

"Sure thing sis," Nabiki said with a slight
smile. "But maybe you could help me out too
hmmm? You see I'm going out tomorrow and I
just don't have anything to wear. I was thinking
of that blue dress of yours. You know, the one
that just got the other week. How about it sis?"

"Nabiki! I haven't even worn that once yet.
I..."

"Oh, Akane," Kasumi interrupted from the other
room. "I think I saw him going out the new hole
Ranma put in the wall earlier. You really
shouldn't throw cat's at him like that. It's not
really very nice."

"Um...ok Kasumi." She didn't know why she was
blushing. The jerk deserved it. "I guess I'll
just go and do my homework then."

As she was walking away Nabiki spoke up, "Ok.
Well, I'll drop by your room in an hour or so
to try on the dress, ok sis?"

Akane just ignored her.

The hunt was good. He could smell the fear from
the prey as he chased. He had almost had it
before, but the hunt would have been too short.
Now the hunt had entered his lair.
__________________________________________________

Math was just so boring, Akane thought to
herself. Sometimes she could almost bring herself
to understand how Ranma could sleep through Mr.
Tanaka's lectures. If it wasn't for the fact that
he did it through everyone else's too. Either that
or he ate or... Why was she thinking about him?

Back to math. Math and the way that Ukyou, the
hussy, would let Ranma copy her paper every day
she could. All those girls hanging on him. Why
she even bothered she didn't... back to him again?

She just didn't understand the formula. The
day that Mr. Tanaka had thought it Ranma had come
back in from fighting with...Mouse she thought it
was, as a girl. Mr. Tanaka had completely lost
track of the lecture. He'd just watched Ranma
take her seat and then gone on to the next
formula. How she could be comfortable with a wet
silk shirt...and attracting the attention of all
those guys. Sometimes she thought Ranma enjoyed
the attention. Pervert!

The prey fled through his lair swiftly. He had
to break one of the big flat wooden things for
food to not hit the nice female. Going up the
wood hill was the matter of a small jump. He
followed after the prey and caught it in his
mouth, just as he broke one of the wooden
not-walls.

She was there. The angry-kind one. The one he
liked. Loud sound came from her as he knocked her
over and sat on her lap. She quieted down.

He could feel the warmth from her as he rubbed
against her. Feel her muscles relax. He started
to purr.

The hunt had been good, but this was better.

The prey squirmed. Seconds later her muscles
tensed.

She was on her back in the koi pond. Ranma knew
the feel of that rock in her back by heart now.
That didn't really bother her. For some reason
she felt as if things were finally good. Like
someday her life might not be just a big cosmic
joke. She barely even heard the ringing in her
ears.

"Pervert!" Akane shouted at her from the window
P-chan began to scratch at her face.

"Ow! Stop that damnit! Hey bacon-breath, not
in the face!"

"Stop picking on P-chan!" Akane yelled as the
five pound running weight hit her in the back of
the head.

Yup...cosmic joke.


Hi there. This is the planned companion story to
'Curiosity Killed the Cat'. One of my older, and
most noted works which has received such praise
as:
"Oh....my....GOD!"
"That was just sick."
"Eeyyewww!"
"ROTFLMAO! But...ick."
and
"Hey, I think I ate there!"
It's really not that bad. I swear. In any case
I finally got around to writing this here. It
was just a little one hour challenge to myself.
Hope you liked it. Mebby I'll write more now that
I've finally kicked the evercrack habit.
