Akane Tendo sat on the couch in her apartment, with the television on. She had been staring at it for the last half hour, but if her life had depended on it she couldn't have told you what was on. She was thinking about Ranma, fuming about Ranma.
*That jerk. Think he can make a fool outta me does he?! No sir! I'm done with him... yeah... done with him... even thought he said that... he loved me... but ...*
Akane was confused. Extremely confused. She massaged her forehead with her thumb and pointer finger, as though that might help her figure things out.
*He said it. He said that he loved me. He never said that to Ukyo or Shampoo or Kodachi... I know he didn't. He didn't even LIKE any of them but Ukyo, and he never said he loved her... oh god ...*
All those times he had tried to say something, tried to explain, she had never listened... all those times she had walked in on him with someone, he had been struggling, as though he were... trying to get away!
*Oh dear god... what have I done? WHAT HAVE I DONE!?*
Akane felt a tear slide down her cheek. She had really screwed things up this time. What if he never forgave her? What if he had already given up on her and moved on? True, it had only been several hours, so that was unlikely, but you could never tell with men.
*Maybe I should just call him and explain. Thought the way I behaved that's asking a lot... I should go there. Yeah, that's what I'll do. I'll go over there and we can —*
Suddenly Akane dropped to the floor as a searing pain overtook her. It was such pain as she had never felt before in her life, and she dropped to her knees, clutching her left wrist with her right hand and screamed in agony. Tears streamed down her face as she gripped her wrist, as the pain moved upward over her arm and stopped at the crook of her elbow. Then the pain stopped, as suddenly as it had started. Akane looked down at her arm, which looked normal apart from the scratches she had made with her nails. Then, while she was wondering what the fuck had happened here, another feeling came over her. It was a good feeling this time, a wonderful feeling. She had felt this way once in her life before when ... but... no... she hadn't touched the stuff in years! And she'd only tried it once!
*What's happening...* Akane thought as she fought to clear her head. Then something else happened. Not a feeling this time though. She could see Ranma's apartment, no she was IN Ranma's apartment, and something was telling her to look in the bathroom. She reached out, she couldn't see her arm but it must have been there because the door swung open... and there in the tub was... *Akane! Oh God, Akane please help me! Akane!! AKANEE!!* Ranma lay in the bathtub, red water, she could hear his voice but his lips weren't moving! He wasn't moving!
"RANMA!! NOOOO!! Blood... Blood everywhere! RANMA'S BLOOD!!"
Akane woke up as if from a nightmare. She panted as though she'd just run a mile. The pain, the good feeling, the vision was gone. But in her head she heard one last thing:
"...Akane... it's up to you... please... save me..."
And then there was silence.
Akane jumped up off the floor and hurled herself out of her apartment. She was wearing dark blue pajama pants and a white spaghetti strap shirt, no shoes, no coat, it was raining outside. She didn't take her keys, money, phone, or even shut the door. None of that mattered. She ran down the stairs and out into the street. There were no cabs, no buses, and no people. No one could help her. So Akane did the only thing she could have done. She ran. She ran as though all the dogs of hell were at her heels. She cursed loudly as she stepped on a broken bottle and the glass cut her feet. But she didn't stop. Her lungs were burning from lack of air, but she didn't even slow down. Akane ran almost thirty blocks to Ranma's building. She burst through the door and ran up the stairs two at a time. She skidded to a halt at Ranma's apartment on the fifth floor and banged on the door.
"RANMA! Ranma open the door! It's me, It's Akane! Ranma I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! Ranma please! OPEN THE DOOR!"
Akane knew that the vision had come to her for a reason. Something was badly wrong with Ranma. She had to get to him. Now. Akane stood back and kicked the door. It fell into the apartment with a loud crash and a shower of splinters and plaster. Akane dashed through the haze of floating plaster in the air and ran to the bathroom, only half knowing what she was going to find.
"Ranma? Ranma where are you?? RANMAAAA!!"
