Prologue: Trouble at the Tendo's, lives at stake.
Note: This story takes place after the Herb sage, let's say around Novel nr 28 and also contains certain elemnts from Fist of the North Star. It will be a somewhat dark story and may even turn draker from there on. Oh and people who hate Ranma & Akane fanfics better stop reading cause I like those stories and this is one of them. Now I hope you enjoy the story.
"RANMA NO BAKA!!!!!" Akane is once again chasing Ranma around the house with her infamous mallet Sama intend on smashing him in the ground. Ranma having opened his big mouth again about Akane's cooking is running and dodging Akane's mallet.
Meanwhile Happosai is smileing evily, "Today is going to be the day you do what I say Ranma, HEHEHE!!" Happosai laughs and heads out to find his prey.
Ranma rounds the corner while sticking his tongue to Akane, "You kawaikune tomboy, you couldn't even hit me if you ran into me, bleh bleh bleh."
"Ranmaaa, there you are, I have something for you my boy, here catch?!" Happosai takes out a small pouch and throws it in Ranma's direction. Ranma destracted by Happosai actions fails to notice the incomeing mallet, RANMA DIE!!" He is smacked ontop of the head by Akane's mallet, knocking his head out of the direction of the puch flying at him.
Akane's brings down her mallet on top a Ranma's head and smile, she the notices a small object flying towards her. "What the..."
The pouch hits Akane dead on and she gets a nose full of some dust that's inside of the pouch. "What's thissss.. Akane falls to the ground unconsious and starts convulsing. Ranma meanwhile pulls his head out of the floor, "That kawaiku.." He doesn't finish his sentence when he sees Akane lying on the floor lokking awfully pail and convulsing severly. He gets up and picks gher up, "Akane what's going on, you okay." Akane doesn't react, Ranma not knowing what to do calls out, KASUMI GET OVER HERE QUICK. He then holds her close to and is startled when he feels how clammy and cold Akane feels.
Kasumi is in the kitchen preparing breakfast when she hears Ranma scream. She immediately stops what she is doing and goes to where Ranma is, when she gets there she stops, "Ranma what's happened to Akane?" The look on Kasumi's face is one of fear.
Ranma looks at Kasumi with a worried look, "I don't know Kasumi she was like this when I got up from the floor." Ranma then sees a pouch on the floor and he remembers something.
"Ranma you stay here with Akane, I'll go call Tofu." Kasumi turns and heads over to the phone and diales Tofu's number.
"Moshi, moshi. Tofu's clinic."
"Doctor."
Tofu's glasses immediately fog over and he starts blabbering. Kasumi hearing the dock go gaga ones agains does something she VERY rarely does, she yells.
"DOCTOR THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE LIKE THIS."
Tofu, hearing the despair in Kasumi's voice immediately clears his head and focusses on the problem he will most likely hear of now. "Yes Kasumi, what the matter?"
"Doctor it's Aken she is sick, very sick. She is lying on he floor and looks very pale and she is convulsing severly. Id don't'know what to do doctor."
"I'll be right there Kasumi, in the meanwhile make sure Akane is put into a bed and that someone holds her so she can't hurt herself, got it?"
"Yes doctor." Kasumi then heads over to where Ranma Is with Akane.
When Kasumi heads of to call Tofu, Ranma sees the pouch wich was thrown at him, right before he was slammed into the floor. It then hits him, Akane must have been hit by the pouch. Ranma then looks over to where Happosai is still standing looking worried.
Ranma shoots a glare of anger towards the old man that could kill gods in a heartbeat. "What did you do old man??" Ranma stays where he is, holding Akane close.
Happosai stumbles back when he hears the anger and fear, for losing someone, in Ranma's voice. "Uhm, uh well.."
"WHAT WAS IN THE POUCH HAPPOSAI." Ranma yells at Happosai, even calling him by his name.
"Nothing, just some powder meant for you, not Akane."
"You mean to tell me you wanted to poison me?!"
"No, it's not supposed to be a poison, just some mind altering drg, meant to make you sasseptable to suggestions from me." Happosai slowl tried to get away.
"YOU STAY HERE, DON'T EVEN TRY TO RUN AWAY OR I"LL HUNT YOU DOWN TO BEAT THE INFO I NEED OUT OF YOU." Ranma's battle aura was slowly manifesting it's self he was still holding Akane. He failed to notice thyat Akane's body was absorbing a small amount of Ranma's ki, making the conculsions stop.
Happosai saw Ranma's battle aura and knew he'd better stay wher he was if he valued his life, and that he did.
"You where going to tell me about the powder, REMEMBER?"
"Uhm, yes, it's a powder wich will make you do things=, I tell you to do."
"Let me gues it's something allong the line of, wear female underwear, change into a girl Ranma, and mor of that crap, ain't it?!"
"Yes." Happosai answerd with a very small voice.
"Then tell me why is Akane like this, huh tell me."
"I don't know, the drug is only supposed to work on males and not on females."
"Does this look like nothing huh tell me that old man."
"I'm sorry." Happosai was slowly shrinking into non excistence.
"YOU'RE SORRY? Tell you what, you get out o here now and we will have a talk later, and remember don't even try to run, I'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth if neccesary, NOW LEAVE!!!"
Happosai saw the look in Ranma's eyes and so he turned and went to his room. Just when Happosai had left, Kasumi came back."Ranma, doctor Tofu is on the way, he told me to get Akane into a bed and hold her if she keeps convulsing." Kasumi then sees Ranma's aura and that Akane has stopped convulsing and is breathing slightly better now.
Ranma hearing what the dock had said he immediately gets up and picks Akane up and head's over to her room. He gently sets her down on the bed and when he get's up to get a chair to sit on, Akane starts convulsing sverely again and her breathing get's even shallower. Ranma noticing this immediately get;s over to Akane and holds her. The seconds he touches her, she stops convulsing. Ranma, not wanting to leave her sots down on the bed while still holding Akane.
Meanwhile Tofu arives at the Tendo's and is met by Kasumi who tells her what she saw and takes Tofu over to Akane's room. When Tofu came near Akane's room, he could feel a large amount of ki in the air. He slowly opend the door and tells Kasumi to wait outside while he checks Akane.
"Ranma was to occupied to notice Tofu entering and was startled when he spoke. "Ranma??" Ranma turned his head and saw Tofu standing there.
"Hello doctor, can you help her please?" Ranma was nearly begging him. "I'll see what I can do but first tell me, why are you channeling you're ki into Akane's body?"
"Huh, what do you mean? I'm doing nothing."
Oh yess you are Ranma, you are channeling you're ki into Akane's body at the points you are touching her, it must be wearing you out."
"So that's why she starts conculsing the second I let go of her."
Tofu is amzed by the fact that Ranma is somehow stabelizing Akane with his ki, he also knows that if Ranma keeps dowing this for to long he will become exhausted and sickish. Ranma was instintively sending his ki into her body to help her out, but he doesn't know it's draining his own energy at an alarming rate. I have to make sure Ranma stops this or he'l be the one needing help.
"Ranma tell me everything you remember about what happened to Akane."
Ranma looks up at the doctor and tells him everything he remembers, about the fight about the dust, thrown inton her face by Happosai.
After about a minute of silence Tofu goes over to the door. "Dock where are you going, Akane needs help."
"I am just going to tell Kasumi to get some water and other items I will be needing, to help Akane, she will need some water, she is sweating severly." He then opens the door and steps out, closing the door behind him.
Kasumi sees the doctor coming out of the room and walks over to him. "Doctor?"
"Kasumi I am going to send Ranma out of Akane's room, when he gets out he will be in need of some serious resting. Don't ask me to explain, just make sure Ranma get;s to his bed and get's some rest okay?"
"Yes doctor."
Tofu then reopens the door and goes back inside. He walks up to Ranma and Akane. "Ranma, I need to ask you to leave for a few minutes."
"What? Why?" I want to stay here with Akane."
"It's just that Kasumi needs some help with getting some items I will be needing and the best way to help will be to do just that."
"But the second I let go, she starts convulsing and her breathing shallows."
"Don't worry, I know something I can do about that, watch?" Tofu then touches Akane on several places on her body and she immediately relaxes. He then gently takes Ranma's hands of of Akane and Ranma is surprised to see she continieus to lie there. She doesn't start convulsing and her breathing remeins the same.
"See, could you now please help Kasumi?"
"Yes, but when I'm done I will be back here with Akane."
"That's fine Ranma." Just when Ranma turns, Tofu gently hits one of Ranma's pressure points. Ranma is to occupied to nitice this and leaves the room. Tofu then proceeds to examine Akane.
Ranma leaves the room, and is met by Kasumi who is waiting for him. Ksumi sees Ranma and is startled, Ranma looks awfully pale and weak. Just when she is about to ask if Ranma's okay, ke keels over and falls asleep. Kasumi remembring what tofu told her, gently picks Ranma up and takes him to his room and lays him in bed. She then get's up and heads over to Akane's room, when she gets there she is met by Tofu, who is standing outside of Akane's room looking very worried.
"Doctor what's the matter, you look worried?" Kasumi is starting to feel even more worried. Tofu takes a deep breath and then spoke. "Kasumi I don't know how to tell you this, but from what you've told me and from what I found out by examening Akane.." Tofu stops speaking.
"What doctor, please tell me what's going on." Kasumi steps up to the doctor and takes his hand. "Tell me, is my little sister going to be okay."
Tofu looks at Kasumi's face and sighs. "Kasumi I am afraid Akane has been poisoned, and that the poison I deadly and there is no cure for it I'm sorry, there is nothing I or anyone can do."
Kasumi, not completely registring what Tofu said speaks up. "What do you mean poisoned, who poisoned her and with what?"
"The poison has no name and there is no cure for it, it will slowly drain Akane's life from her untill she will die, and there is NOTHING I can do." Tofu is on the brink of crying his eyes out, never hjas he felt so helpless and he feels even worse when he thinks about how he is going to tell Ranma the bad news. "And as for who poisoned Akane, I would have to guess Happosai."
Kasumi gasps when everything registers completely. "You mean to tell me grandfather Happosai did this, why would he do something like this?"
"I don't think he did this on purpose and now is not the time to worry about that. I think we should alert the others of the family, Nabiki is at school is she not? And for wher Genma and Soun are, I hope you know, I need you to call them and tell them to get here as soon as possible. Can you do that?"
"Yes doctor I will call them right away." Kasumi turns around tears flowing down her face.
Tofu sighs and heads over to Ranma's room, if he is awake he will tell him the bad news and he can calm Ranma down if needed. H opens the door and sees Ranma sleeping there , his eyes wet with tears, even asleep he worries about Akane. Tofu closes the door and goes over to Ranma.
