Chappie 5: To the rescue!

The man grinned but Kiri growled in anger. His crimson

eyes filled with happiness. His pointed black hair

pointing towards the ceiling.

"Now, what's with that growling? Don't tell me you

haven't missed me." He was still holding Kiri's chin.

Kiri growled louder and snapped at his hand. He

quickly pulled away.

"I've enjoyed every second I've been away from you."

Kiri snarled. The man smiled.

"Still frisky as ever, that's good." He said as he

turned and walked down the carpet.

"What do you want with me? I already did your dirty

work in the past!" Kiri growled, the last thing she

wanted was to be with him, her worst nightmare.

"Ah but Kiri, there is still work that needs to be

done." The man said. Kiri snarled, her sharp fangs

glistened as she growled at him.

"Do not worry, you will enjoy it, actually, you won't

even know, so I wouldn't worry if I were you." The man

said and took a bucket of water. Kiri stared at the

bucket.

"No, no!" She cried and tried to escape but the hold

on her was too tight. The man grinned once more.

"Its time to have my faithful servant back."

(Somewhere in Nerima...)

"Ok, we have to start searching somewhere, but the

question is where?" Ranma, Ryoga, Akane, and Shampoo

who had been there for some reason where now planning

on how to bring back Kiri.

"Maybe we go look in China?" Shampoo suggested. Ryoga

and Ranma looked at her.

"Shampoo, I don't think she's in China." Ranma said,

Shampoo pouted.

"Shampoo only try and help." Ryoga ignored her and

went back their planning.

"I think we'll just start looking in Nerima." Ryoga

stood up and headed outside (it was still raining)

and took his umbrella out.

"I'm coming too." Ranma said as he grabbed another

umbrella.

"Count me in." Akane said as Ryoga blushed, he was

glad that she decided to help.

"Thank you Akane." He said and Akane nodded and

smiled.

"If Ranma go, Shampoo go." Shampoo stood up.

"If Shampoo go, I go!" Mousse all of a sudden

appeared.

"Ok, I don't remember this becoming a search party but

let's go." Ranma and the gang headed out in the rain

all calling out Kiri's name and looking for her.

Mousse and Shampoo had forgotten umbrellas so a duck

and cat where following Ranma, Ryoga and Akane. (Not

to mention Ranma stayed as far away as he could from

Shampoo)

Shampoo gave a sniff at her cat nose then meowed

loudly.

"AAAH!" cried Ranma. "C-c-c-"

"It's just Shampoo, Ranma," said Akane, tying not to

giggle.

"Shampoo is a cat so she has a better sense of smell

then us! She must be picking up Kiri's scent, right?"

Ryoga said, as he knelt by Shampoo meowing. Shampoo

nodded and pointed with her paw.

"Ok! Let's follow her, a-a-and I'll just stay at the

back." Ranma said as he backed away from the feline.

Akane giggled and they followed Shampoo.

(Somewhere else in Nerima...)

"Ah, you look beautiful when you're angry, as always."

The man gazed at the monster with its sharp fangs and

claws. It was the same monster that Ranma and Ryoga

saw. It growled at the man. He walked up and stroked

its fur. The creature relaxed a little bit and flexed

its claws.

"There, now our first mission." The man grinned as he

spoke softly to the creature, now acting like his pet.

It let out a soft purr and absorbed every word. The

man spoke more words; he held something in his hand

and squeezed it hard. The chain on the creature's neck

seemed to dig into its flesh. Blood dripped down as it

whined in pain but seemed not to mind it, for its eyes

had turned ice blue. It growled slightly but sat down,

listening to the man.

"It seems that my control over you still works, heh,

but of course, you cannot escape me, and you never

will, I can assure you of that."

(Somewhere outside of the lair)

"Hey, it seems like Shampoo picked up something!"

Ryoga pointed out as the gang had been walking over 2

hours searching for Kiri. Ranma had gotten tired of

holding an umbrella and her hair shined a bright red

through the heavy rain. They picked up the pace as

they followed the cat. They followed her until she

finally stopped.

"I think she's lost it, this is just the ground."

Ryoga said, receiving a hiss from Shampoo. All of a

sudden, the ground started to rumble.

"An earthquake?" Akane asked, everything seemed to

shake and then all of a sudden a hole appeared in the

ground where everyone was standing on. Screams and

yells were heard as the gang fell down what seemed to

be a tube but was hard to tell since it was dark as

the midnight sky. It seemed to last forever until they

hit a hard cold floor.

"Ouch, that was a nice landing." Ranma said as she sat

up in soaked clothes.

"Where are we?" Ryoga asked, rubbing his head. Ranma

shrugged and Akane sat up. Mousse quaked but Shampoo

stood up and meowed more.

"I guess Shampoo was right." Ranma said (after screaming again)

as they followed her.

'What's happening to me, I can't control my body.'

(Dreamworld)

Kiri felt like she was asleep, like she was in a

dream. She sat up and looked around. Everything was

dark and cold.

"Hello?" She mouthed but no words came out. 'What

the?' She couldn't speak, her voice couldn't be heard.

'What's going on? Where am I?' Kiri looked around and

started to walk, but nothing else was there, just

darkness. 'Someone help me, please, anyone, someone

just help me.' She screamed but only silence came.

Tears fell to the floor. 'How come nobody is here? And

why do I feel like my body is being controlled, someone

help me.'

(Inside the underground lair)

"Seems that we are getting closer." Ryoga said as

Shampoo finally stopped at two big doors. Ranma and

Ryoga opened them and walked into the same room the

man and the creature where in. Ryoga and Ranma gasped.

Mousse quaked.

"It's that monster…" The man turned and smiled. "Ah,

it seems we have visitors." Ryoga growled.

"Where's Kiri?" The man looked a little shocked.

"Kiri has friends? That's a surprise, but of course,

the children at her last home knew about her secret

and I'm guessing you don't." He grinned.

"What are you taking about?" Ranma snarled.

"Heh, I shall show you." The man took a kettle of hot

water and poured it over the creature's body. The gang

stared in shock at what was standing there.

"No..it can't be.."
