CHAPTER 3- Shot Gun
NERIMA
"My name little lady is Yosho and I must insist you come with me to dinner."
Ranma had a bad feeling about this person. She couldn't see his Kei and he was able to sneak up on her undetected." Except for the person she ran into tonight and then this creep Ranma could count the number of people that could sneak up on her on 1 hand.
"Uh... No thanks I already ate tonight." said Ranma cautiously.
Yosho's eyes narrowed at that comment.
"Hhhhmmm... it looks like the young lady has run into some trouble tonight." said Yosho as his eyes fell on the hole in her shirt.
Ranma covered herself suddenly self-conscious of the huge gaping hole in her shirt.
"Tsk tsk tsk why so nervous all the sudden little lady, Yosho only wants to help? Why don't you come with me and we can tend to your wounds and get you a fresh change of clothes...maybe something more benefiting a lady such as yourself."
"My name is Ranma, not little lady and I got no intention of going anywhere with you."
Yosho took a deep breath. "That's too bad, a lady such as your self deserves more than this."
What does he mean by that? thought Ranma. She then felt a huge wave of energy coming from Yosho. This isn't Kei thought Ranma; it's like the type of energy that Saffron used.
"Why does this always happen to me?" said Ranma out loud.
She dropped into a defensive stance knowing what was coming next. Yosho started to undergo a transformation, his head swelled and his mouth split farther back making it wider like a wicked smile. What concerned Ranma thoe were the sharp pointy teeth that the mouth was producing. Yosho continued to change, his arms got longer and his fingers turned into claws. Yosho's then sprouted what looked like horns out of his back. After Yosho finished his transformation he stood there breathing heavily. What unnerved Ranma more than the claws and teeth was that if it was possible he became even whiter and there was also the smell, it smelled horrible like rotting meat.
Yosho's eyes opened and looked at Ranma, they were blood red. Suddenly Yosho darted forward toward Ranma with a thrusting strike meant to impale her on his claws but Ranma was ready and back flipped out of the way. As she landed, Ranma thumbed her nose and motioned for Yosho to come at her.
"Come on you ugly beast come and get some."
I can take this thing in my sleep Ranma thought; he's fast but not as fast as Saffron was. Yosho gave Ranma a wicked smile full of jagged teeth.
"A piece of you I shall get!" roared the white demon.
Yosho shot forward after Ranma but she had already leaped forward over him in a somersault to get away. Yosho immediately jumped after Ranma with more speed than she expected and caught up behind her in midair. Ranma felt Yosho grab her left ankle as they started to descend towards the ground. This isn't good thought Ranma at this rate I'm gonna hit the ground wrong and he will be on top of me. Ranma kicked off Yosho's head striking him in his right eye. It had the desired effect. He let go of her ankle to cover his eye after she inflicted pain there. Ranma regained control and landed on her feet and immediately rolled out of the way. Yosho crashed onto the pavement right where Ranma had just been. Yosho let out a howl in frustration as he picked himself up off the ground.
"That was very unlady like." he hissed through his teeth.
"Well just so you know, I ain't no lady." said Ranma with a confident smirk on her face.
NERIMA
"Wha...wha...what the hell." Yusuke panted.
He and Kuwabara had run out of breath for the 2nd time trailing what they thought was the Demon.
"Is this Demon a cross country runner or something?" ask Yusuke out of annoyance.
Kuwabara was hunched over trying to catch his breath. "Wha...wha...what does the watch say now? Is she still moving?" Asked Kuwabara.
Yusuke raised the watch to check. "Do you want the good new or the bad news first?"
"Uh...The good news." replied Kuwabara.
"She stopped moving." deadpanned Yusuke.
"What's the bad news?" asked Kuwabara.
"She's two miles to the East" said Yusuke with a frown.
Kuwabara groaned.
"Let's go" said Yusuke as he stared to jog towards the East.
Ranma side stepped a swipe from Yosho and countered with a side kick to the stomach. Yosho stumbled back and grinned.
"You're not like the other girls. I want you more."
"WHAT!" Ranma yelled. "You've been kidnapping the girls?"
"I wouldn't call it kidnapping." replied Yosho as he licked his lips.
"What have you done with them? asked Ranma dangerously.
"What haven't I done with them." said Yosho.
Ranma eyes narrowed. "YOU BASTARD." She screamed.
Ranma shot forward and yelled "AMAGURIKEN."
She sent one blow to Yosho's midsection that sent him flying and through a brick wall out of the alley.
Ranma stepped forward trying to peer through the cloud of dust that the crumbling brick wall produced. A clawed hand reached out through the dust and grasped the side of the brick wall and used it as leverage to heave its body through. Yosho stepped back into view through the hole he was just knocked through; as he cleared the dust Ranma saw he was holding his gut where he placed the Amaguriken.
"Heh heh heh, that was quite something little lady, I counted over 50 punches in that split second. No one has hurt me like that in centuries and lived."
Ranma smirked "Well it was more like 98 punches and there is more where that came from."
"Well let me show you one of mine." shouted Yosho.
Yosho planted both of his feet on the ground and started to throw a right punch only his arm stretched at an incredible speed heading for Ranma. Ranma tried to side step the stretching arm but was caught a little off guard not expecting his arm to stretch like that. Yosho's claws grazed Ranma's right side and she felt a searing pain and then a warm sensation spreading through the side of her shirt.
Ranma's leaped back to a safe distance out of the alley and put a hand to her side to check the wound. She flinched as she felt the wound and then saw blood on her hand as she brought the hand back up to view and knew the wound wasn't deep so it wasn't life threatening. She gritted her teeth intending to give this back to Yosho tenfold.
"Hahahahaha, the fight is mine and now you belong to me." laughed Yosho.
Ranma snorted "Ha hardly, it's just a graze if you think that will stop me your kiddi..."
Ranma's vision blurred and she was looking at two Yosho's. She felt dizzy and sleepy.
"Ah, I can see my poison is taking effect...excellent."
"Po..po...poison stuttered Ranma."
Yosho started to walk towards Ranma. "Yes, how do you think I catch my prey? I haven't survived all these centuries by fighting prolonged battles you know"
Ranma saw that Yosho was coming closer. Gotta do something thought Ranma or I'm done for.
"Don't worry little lady, it won't kill you if I don't want it to. It will just make you sleepy until I'm ready for you or if I want kill you out right. But don't worry I'm not going to kill you here, what's the fun in that?"
Ranma fell to her knees fighting to stay awake. "Fight it all you want but you mine." said Yosho with his evil grin full of teeth. As he came closer he started licking his lips anticipating what he was going to do to Ranma. . " As Ranma's vision blurred again she had a desperate idea, something she saw earlier, she didn't have the energy to try much else so she would give it a desperate try. She brought back her right arm on her knees and pushed any remaining Kei she had into her fist and thrust her fist forward just as Yosho walked up to her. "SHOT GUN!"
"AAAAAAHHHHHH THE LIGHT BURNS" scream Yosho as he was thrown back from blast of Ranma's new technique .
Yosho landed on the ground and rolled around in pain,
"IT BURNS." He screamed again.
Ranma looked down to her hand which she saw two of and smiled amazed that it worked. If she hadn't seen the other person she was fighting do that and watch how his Kei flowed as he did it she would have never been able to do it. She thought it was worth the pain to get hit by it once just to be able to understand it. Ranma fell all the way to ground from her knees starting to black out. While she was still conscious she watched in horror as Yosho regained his composure and stood up and started to walk her way again.
Dam it thought Ranma it wasn't enough. Ranma then heard someone out of her field of vision yell something that got Yosho's attention but she couldn't make it out. Yosho turned just as a small beam of light pierced Yosho's shoulder and went out the other side. Yosho immediately turned and ran back into the alley disappearing into the shadows. Then Ranma felt some one pick her up, she had just enough strength left to turn her head to see who it was. As Ranma's vision started to go black she saw the face of the lady she bumped into earlier. Wait a minute she wasn't a lady it was that weird guy in the yellow dress minus the hat. That was the last thing Ranma saw as the blackness claimed her.
"Hurry up Kuwabara she's just around the corner." Yelled Yusuke as he sprinted down the street.
"Jees' Urameshi can't we take a break? I mean do we really want to take on the Demon out of breath?" Wined Kuwabara.
Yusuke rounded the corner to a unusual sight with Kuwabara on his heels. They both stopped surprised at what was going on. They saw the girl that they were chasing that they thought was the demon she was on her knees and bleeding. They could see the small pool of blood collecting on the ground. Approaching her was what looked…. well it looked like a demon, there was no other word for him.. He was wearing a white tux but he had a huge head with an even bigger mouth full of sharp teeth that looked like a creepy smile and long arms with claws. He was walking towards the defenseless girl. When he came with in arms reach of the girl she brought back her right arm in a punch and threw it forward at the demon and screamed,
"SHOT GUN."
A blue light shot out of the girl's fist and slammed into the demons chest and sent him flying back a few feet on to its butt. The demon was screaming bloody murder about it burning and rolling around on the ground. The girl then collapsed to the ground.
"What the hell was that?" asked Kuwabara.
"Did...did that girl just use your Shot Gun on that demon?" asked Kuwabara as he pointed at the demon on the ground.
"It looks like it" said Yusuke with a grin.
"Uh Oh looks like it wasn't enough, he's getting back up." noticed Kuwabara.
"Kuwabara you see to the girl." directed Yusuke. "I'll take care of the demon."
"Right." said Kuwabara as he ran towards the girl.
Yusuke put his hands in his pocket as he walked towards the demon. Yusuke thought that this might actually be Yosho. He decided to test his theory.
"Yo, Yosho!" yelled out Yusuke as he walked toward the demon.
The demon turned towards him with a look of surprise on his face.
"That's what I thought." mumbled Yusuke.
He drew his right hand out of his pocket that he had already been charging with spirit energy and pointed it at Yosho. Better keep it low power thought Yusuke I don't want to destroy any of the building's around here. He didn't want to explain to the cops why he was here where a building was destroyed with a man wearing a yellow dress and a girl that's passed out and hurt. Yusuke released the energy in his finger tip and a tight beam of blue light exploded out of his finger and struck the demon in the left shoulder and went straight through. The demon screamed and grabbed his shoulder with his other hand where there was now a big gaping hole. The demon then turned around sped away into the alley. Ranma started to go after him and thought better of it as he saw the sun start to peak over the horizon. From the file that Koenma gave him it said that Yosho hated the sun and would avoid it at all cost and preferred to come out at night. Yusuke knew he should let it go and make sure the girl was okay. First he checked to see if his watch captured the energy signature of Yosho so he could track him down later. He looked back up and smiled then walked over to Kuwabara.
Kuwabara kneeled down at Ranma's side and looked at the wound. He saw a deep gash on her right side and saw that it wasn't clotting. "Yusuke is going to hate me for getting this dress dirty and so is Keiko thought Kuwabara but this girl needs attention fast. Kuwabara lifted the girl up gently. As he did the girl looked at him and then promptly passed out.
"URAMESHI" yelled Kuwabara. "We need to get her to a doctor her wound isn't closing and she is losing blood."
"This way." said Yusuke. "I noticed a doctor's place back the way we came."
TENDO HOUSE 1 HOUR LATER
Akane woke up troubled by something. Then it hit her. She wasn't awakened at 6:00 am to the sound of pounding flesh. Usually she is awakened by Ranma and Mr. Saotome's morning fight. Actually more like Mr. Saotome's morning beat down. She rolled over and looked at the clock and it read 7:00 am. She rolled out of bed and put on her slippers and grabbed her robe and walked down the hall to where Ranma and Mr. Saotome slept. She cracked open the door and saw that Ranma's futon was neatly made and so was Mr. Saotome's. She hurried down stairs to find her father and Mr. Saotome asleep on the porch covered with blankets with their Shogo board in between them.
"Oh, good morning Akane."
Akane turned around and saw her elder sister Kasumi setting the family table for breakfast.
"Good morning Kasumi" replied Akane.
"Kasumi do you know if Ranma came home last night?" asked a worried Akane.
"Not that I'm aware of, In fact I got up to get a drink of water last night and found Dad and Mr. Saotome asleep on the porch. They must have been waiting up for him, so I put blankets over them so they don't catch cold."
"I see." said Akane.
Akane sat down at the table with a worried look on her face. Kasumi noticed this she decided to try and reassure her little sister.
"Don't worry Akane, I'm sure Ranma is fine. He is after all Ranma."
Akane smiled. "Your right Kasumi, I'm sure he's fine."
"Who's fine? asked a sleepy Nabiki as she walked into the room and let out a big yawn.
"Ranma" said Kasumi.
"What about him?" asked Nabiki as she poured a cup of coffee at the table.
"He never came home last night." said a worried Akane.
Nabiki raised an eye brown as she took a sip out of her coffee cup. Nabiki put her cup of coffee down and looked at Akane.
"I'm sure he's fine Akane."
Nabiki then started to think how she could spin this and make some money off it.
"Well I'll bring breakfast out. No sense in waiting." said Kasumi.
The word Breakfast brought life back in to Genma and Soun. They sat up and stretched and then Soun looked at the Shogo board.
"Ah ha." he said as he moved a piece. "Check ma..."
Suddenly Genma stretched and knocked over the Shogo board. Soun Tendo started crying a river of tears at this.
"Well there's no need to cry over a spilled Shogo board is there Tendo." said Genma with a smirk. "Let's go have breakfast."
Genma and Soun got up and walked into the dining area and sat down at the table. "Where's Ranma?" asked Soun to anyone who was listening.
Nabiki was playing with her abacus and Akane was watching the News. Just then Kasumi walked into the room with breakfast and laid it on the table.
"Hey every one listen to this." said Akane as she turned up the TV volume with the remote.
"The police still don't know what happened last night. All they know was that several people reported screaming and what sounded like a fight. When the police arrived on the scene they found a brick wall that was destroyed and a pool of blood in the street. The police aren't sure if this is related to the kidnappings or not. In other news..."
"You don't think" said Akane; she was cut off buy the ring of the phone.
Every one's head in the room turned at the sound of the ringing phone. No one moved, the tension was building in the room when finally Nabiki got up and walked over to the phone and picked it up.
"Hello Tendo Residence. Hi Dr. Tofu... What?.. Really?... What happened?... How bad?... Yes we will be there right away."
Nabiki hung up the phone slowly and then turned around to everyone else in the room. Nabiki could see that everyone was waiting to hear what she had to say, she could feel their eyes boring into her.
"It was Dr. Tofu." she said. "Ranma's been hurt pretty badly. He was brought in by two strangers that found him on the street."
Kasumi raised her hand to her mouth and said "Oh My"
Akane looked at Nabiki with teary eyes.
"How bad is he Nabiki?"
"He can't stop the bleeding. Dr. Tofu wants us down there right now."
DR. TOFU'S 40 MINUTES EAIRLER
Yusuke busted in through the front door of the doctors place he saw earlier.
"HELLO, IS THERE ANY ONE HERE?" yelled Yusuke.
"Coming." said a voice from the back.
Kuwabara walked in behind Yusuke trailing blood that was draining from the helpless girl he cradled in his arms. Yusuke turned towards Kuwabara and asked "How is she doing?"
"Not good man, she's still breathing but she's getting cold and the bleeding won't stop no matter how much pressure I place on it."
"Dam it." muttered Yusuke.
Yusuke heard someone approaching from the back and turned his head toward curtain that separated the rooms. A tall skinny but fit looking young man walked in. He was wearing a black kimono he was busy polishing a pair of glasses in his hands. "Hi my name's Dr. Tofu how can I help you?"
"Doc you have to help this girl, she's hurt bad." Said Yusuke worriedly.
Dr. Tofu put on his glasses and looked past Yusuke to Kuwabara who was holding the girl. Dr. Tofu eyes grew really big. "Ranma?"
Yusuke got a confused look on his face. Dr. Tofu suddenly burst into action.
"Get her in the back and place her on the gurney and keep pressure on that wound."
Kuwabara did as he was told. He pointed at Yusuke
"Come with me we need to get some things".
Yusuke complied without saying anything. Dr. Tofu went over to one of his cabinets and stared to pull out the things he needed to treat Ranma's wound. He pulled out bandages, gaze, IV needles etc etc. and placed them all in Yusuke's arms and then point to the table by the gurney.
"Place those items on the table by the Gurney."
Dr. Tofu quickly washed his hands and slapped on some gloves and moved over to Ranma and had Kuwabara move away. Dr. Tofu looked at the wound and saw that it was caused by what looked like an animal's claw, he also noticed what looked like a white foam at the edges of the wound. He quickly cleaned it with saline and gaze. He then tried to sew up the wound but the thread kept dissolving as it came into contact with the white foam. He couldn't close up the wound. Ranma's life kept dripping from the wound and rolled of the gurney onto the floor.
I've got to slow down the bleeding thought Dr. Tofu. He stuffed the wound with as many surgical sponges as he could then bandaged it up as tight as he could. He then started to set up a IV of saline into Ranma. As he worked the needle. He asked Yusuke "What happened?"
"Well we found her on the street like that." Yusuke said.
Dr. Tofu got the needle in and then connected the IV line and started the IV with a fast drip. He then hit a couple of pressure points on Ranma to slow the bleeding. Dr. Tofu then looked up at Yusuke and narrowed his eyes.
"Please don't lie to me again." he said.
"What do you mean?" asked Yusuke.
"I mean this."
Dr. Tofu pulled up Yusuke's shirt to reveal the huge bruise on his abdomen.
"You didn't think I would notice you favoring that area when I gave you the medical supplies to hold. And for god's sake your friend is wearing a dress."
"Oh" said Yusuke as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Look uh... I didn't catch your name." said Dr. Tofu.
"Yusuke Urameshi and the guy over there in the dress is Kazuma Kuwabara."
"Any ways Yusuke" continued Dr. Tofu. "I have to know what happened. I need to know what caused this wound. It's not natural and there is weird foam surrounding the wound that I suspect is stopping the wound from clotting. If I don't know what happened I can't treat it and she will die from blood loss within the hour."
Yusuke looked over to Dr. Tofu's shoulder to Kuwabara he still stood there in the bloody dress. Kuwabara nodded his head at Yusuke. Yusuke let out a big sigh.
"Okay doc you win."
"The girl was attacked by a demon The demon must have poisons claws and that's what's effecting the wound." Explained Yusuke seriously.
"A demon you say." said Dr. Tofu. "What class was it?"
"You know about demons?" asked a surprised Yusuke.
"Yes in fact I do. This is Nerima after all. Now what class is it?"
"We believed it to be A class but after feeling its demonic energy I believed it's a low B class." said Yusuke.
"So I take it you're the Earth's new Spirit Detective."
Yusuke's eye brow twitched.
"How do you know that?" asked Yusuke.
"Well I'm friends with Kouroko, she was the first Spirit Detective assigned to Earth. I treat her family and I helped out in some of her cases back in the day."
Yusuke mad a mental note to slap Koenma for not telling him that Kouroko had companions like him.
"Excuse me." said Dr. Tofu. "I have to call this girls family."
A phone call thought Yusuke. That was a good idea, he would make a phone call.
"Kuwabara, I'm gonna make a call to Botan and see if she can help and get rid of the dress. You don't want to be wearing that when the girls family shows up, it's lucky the doctor already knows about us but we don't want to make the family suspicious."
Yusuke went outside and to the side of the building where no one would see him. He pulled out what looked like a powder compact out of his pocket and flipped it open. Dam it thought Yusuke, why don't they make this look like a cell phone it would attract less attention. After a sec Botan's image appeared.
"Well hello Yusuke." said Botan in her usual cheerful voice. "How's the case going?
"Look Botan, I don't have time for all this cheery crap. Look Yosho hurt a girl and it turns out he had poisons claws by the way WHICH WASN'T IN THE FILE YOU GAVE ME!" yelled Yusuke.
"Calm down Yusuke." said Botan "What can I do to help?"
"Well can your healing powers cover this? The poison is not letting the wound clot, she's gonna to bleed to death soon."
Botan put her finger to her lip as she thought. "Well mine can't, mine are good for curses and bumps and bruises but Yukina's can."
"How fast can you get her here?" demanded Yusuke.
"About an hour and a half tops." Replied Botan.
God dam it thought Yusuke.
"Fine but try to be faster. The doc said she had a hour till she bleeds out. Were at Doctor Tofu's clinic in Nerima."
Botan didn't even bother to answer Yusuke she closed the compact and got moving because it would waste too much time that was needed.
Yusuke walked back in to find Kuwabara wiping the blood up of the floor of the waiting room. He had changed into a pair of green scrubs that Dr. Tofu must have lent him. Kuwabara looked up and answered his question for him before he could ask it.
"The girls family will be here any minute, I didn't want them to find the trail of blood in the waiting room when they arrived. They are probably upset as it is. By the way can Botan help out?"
"Botan is bringing Yukina here to see if she can help." said Yusuke.
Kuwabara's eyes got really big. "That's right, if anyone can help her Yukina can." Kuwabara started wiping faster after this.
Yusuke walked in to the treatment area where Dr. Tofu was sitting next to Ranma changing the bandage.
"Good news Doc." said Yusuke as he walked in.
"I have some friends on the way that will be able to help the girl."
"Really? Then that is good news then. When can they be here?" asked Dr. Tofu.
Yusuke frowned. "An hour and a half."
"Well we will have to do a transfusion then. Her mother Nodoka and fiancé Akane will be here with the family, they both have the same blood type as her. If the mother will do it then I don't see a reason why she would not then a hour and a half will be fine." said Dr. Tofu.
Yusuke blinked. He just swore he heard Dr. Tofu call this girls fiancé by a girl's name. He shook his head and let the thought go away, it's been a long night, he sure he was hearing things.
"By the way Yusuke how will your friends help her?" asked Dr. Tofu.
"Well let's just say that we should kick every one out of the room when she gets here."
"I see." said Dr. Tofu.
Kuwabara walked back into the treatment area and informed Dr. Tofu that the family was there.
"Very well said Dr. Tofu. Yusuke why don't you go wait outside for your friends you can go out the back door. Kazuma if you don't mind would you stay here and help out?"
Both Yusuke and Kuwabara obeyed without question.
"I'll go out and talk to the family." said Dr. Tofu.
DR. TOFU'S WAITING ROOM.
Akane was a mess as she sat in Dr. Tofu's waiting room. She and her family arrived first. Mr. Saotome had gone to get his wife Nodoka. She was trying her hardest not to cry but she couldn't help herself. Kasumi put an arm around her shoulder to try to comfort her. Akane kept replaying the scene over and over in her head again from last night where Ranma put his hand on her shoulder and looked in to her eyes and told her that he would be all right. "
That Baka!" she muttered.
Dr. Tofu walked out in to the waiting room and every one's heads turned towards him including Akane's. She stood up.
"Dr. Tofu is Ranma all right?" asked Akane.
"Well that will depend on you Akane." said Dr. Tofu as he placed one hand on her shoulder. "Let me explain" Dr. Tofu said to everyone. "Two people found Ranma injured and bleeding in the street. He was already unconscious so they rushed him er.. her to me for help."
"What did this to him?" asked Akane.
"I don't know." said Dr. Tofu. "But his right side was gashed. While the wound isn't life threatening it's self the problem is it will not stop bleeding. Ranma's lost a lot of blood and he will bleed out if something is not done."
What can we do Doctor?" asked Akane.
"Like I said that's up to you Akane." said Dr. Tofu.
"I have a specialist on the way that will be able to help Ranma but she won't be her for the better part of a hour and Ranma needs blood right now to make it until then and so this falls to you Akane since I don't see Nodoka and Genma here. Your blood type is the same as Ranma's since you're his fiancé the choice falls to you. You or one of your sisters can give Ranma blood but you have to say yes first."
"This will save him?" she asked.
"It will if we're lucky." said Dr. Tofu.
"Then I will do it myself." said Akane.
"This way then Miss Tendo" said Dr. Tofu has he opened the curtain.
Kuwabara walked out the back door and walked up next to Yusuke who was leaning against the house with his hands in his pockets.
"Did the Doc get the transfusion started?" asked Yusuke.
"He did." said Kuwabara. "The funny thing" Kuwabara said "was that the fiancée the doc was talking about is a girl."
Yusuke stood up straight. So I wasn't hearing things thought Yusuke.
"I asked the Doc about it and he told me that like us we have a secret to protect and he would not reveal the girls to us no more than he would reveal ours." said Kuwabara.
Yusuke grunted. Yusuke was sure he has gotten a lead on what his secret was. He decided to keep his partner in the dark about it for the time being.
"So Urameshi" asked Kuwabara "what's the plan with Yosho when were done here?"
"Well I got a reading of him before he ran off so he can't run from us now. After were done here we will get some grub and find a place to crash." said Yusuke.
"Sounds good to me said Kuwabara, I'm starving.
Yusuke's compact in his pocket beeped. He pulled it out and opened it up. Botan picture came into view and he could clearly see that she was standing in front of the building that he and Kuwabara where behind.
"Hold it one sec Botan, Let me guess." asked Yusuke "Were am I right?"
"How did you know?" said Botan with an amazed expression.
"Never mind, be right there."
Higher being my ass thought Yusuke.
"Kuwabara their here out front lets go."
Yusuke turned around and saw that Kuwabara was already gone. Yusuke sighed and put his hands in his pocket and walked around the building. When he turned the corner to the front he could all ready hear Kuwabara talking all excited to Yukina.
"And then we searched the city all night, well actually I did all the work Yusuke just followed me." said Kuwabara to Yukina as he held her hands.
Yusuke walked up behind Kuwabara and WHACK right on the back of the head.
"KUWABARA YOU IDIOT we don't have time for this. Yukina is needed inside."
"Excuse me just a sec sweetie." said Kuwabara with a smile as he turned away and then faced Yusuke with a glare that would kill a lesser man.
Yusuke leaned in towards and whispered so that only he and Kuwabara could hear him.
"If you keep this up and delay Yukina any longer I will tell her and Botan and then Hiei when he gets back about the dress."
Yusuke made a mental note to tell Hiei any ways. Kuwabara turned white and started to laugh universally. Kuwabara turned back towards Yukina.
"Okay were needed in side sweetie let's not keep them waiting any longer."
"Just one sec." said Yusuke "Yukina have you been filled in on the details?" asked Yusuke.
"Just what Botan told me." said Yukina. "Okay said Yusuke, we have a girl inside that has been attacked by a..." Yusuke trailed off a bit before he said demon, he changed his mind and said "attacked by an apparition that had poison claws. The wound the girl suffered will not close and she may bleed to death unless you can help her."
"I'll try my best." said Yukina.
"Also" added Yusuke "and this applies to you also Botan, the people here don't know about us or Spirit World or Makai except the doctor so watch what you say."
Both the girls nodded their heads. Let's go he said and turned around and walked in through the front door.
All four of them walked into the waiting room past the Tendo's and right into the treatment area. Dr. Tofu looked up as they entered and then nodded. He was busy helping a woozy Akane to a bed to lie down. After he had Akane lay down he closed the curtains around her bed and then motioned them over to Ranma.
Yusuke introduced Yukina and Botan to Dr. Tofu. He shook both her hands and then he explained the situation in more detail so Yukina would know what she is dealing with. Yukina then walked up to Ranma and placed her hand on the wound and began to concentrate. A blue light started to glow from under Yukina's hands and started to get brighter. Dr. Tofu raised an eye brow as the light got brighter and brighter.
Kuwabara was starting to get worried standing next to Yukina. Her face was scrunched up and her brow began to sweat.
"This poison is different!" she muttered. "It's alive, it's, and connected to the apparition that hurt this girl. It's fighting me, it doesn't want the girl to live. All the sudden Yukina was pushed back by an invisible force. Kuwabara caught her before she hit the floor. Yukina looked shocked then regained her composer.
"Thank you Kazuma." said Yukina.
She then approached the table again and placed her hand over the wound and used her healing powers. It didn't take long for the poison to act again. This time instead of pushing her it ripped at her hand. It looked as if invisible razor blades started to swipe Yukina's hand. Yukina grunted in pain each time the poison attacked her. She brought up her second hand and grabbed her wrist as if she was forcing her other hand to stay there. The blue light got brighter and brighter, finally the wound itself on Ranma started to close. It grew smaller and smaller and sealed it's self-up leaving no scar. When the wound closed up Yukina suddenly went limp and started to drop to the floor before Kuwabara caught her. Kuwabara lifted her up into his arms and Yukina looked at him weekly and she spoke softly.
"The poison has been destroyed and all her damage has been repaired. She will be fine." Yukina then drifted off to sleep in Kuwabara's arms.
Dr. Tofu opened the curtain and lead Kuwabara to a bed that he could place Yukina in. Kuwabara laid her down and Dr. Tofu bandaged her hand . Botan looked at Yusuke with a big smile. "I don't know about you there Yusuke but my heart nearly stopped."
Yusuke looked at Botan and with an evil grin and said "I thought the grim reaper didn't have a heart!"
Botan crossed her arms. "Yusuke you're a jerk."
Yusuke just laughed. Dr. Tofu walked back over to where Yusuke and Botan were.
"She will be fine." said Dr. Tofu. "She just exerted herself. Yusuke did I hear you right just now, did you call Botan the Grim Reaper?" asked Dr. Tofu as he grab his glasses as if he were trying to get a better look at Botan.
Yusuke just laughed. Then his face turned serious. "Hey doc I'm kinda at a loss what were gonna tell everyone about the girl's remarkable recovery."
"Well we will cross that bridge when we come to it. In the meantime why don't you and your friends raid my fridge and make your selves comfortable in one of the clinic beds if you're sleepy and we can talk later. Right now I have to talk to Akane and the rest of her family."
"Thanks Doc." said Yusuke. "Oh hey doc, just one more thing, would you come get me when the girl wakes up. I need to have a long talk with her."
Dr. Tofu just nodded and walked out to the waiting room.
Yosho was not happy. First he was interrupted from claiming his prey by two interlopers and then his link was severed from the poison he left in the girl. She would no doubt survive. But that was okay thought Yosho she is too good to pass up. I must have her all these other girls he has had compared to her were pitiful snacks. He wanted the main course.
Then there was the matter of what she did to his beautiful white tux, she destroyed it. That was unforgivable. These are not easy to get any more. On Earth as well as in the demon world. Yosho looked down at the hole in his shoulder. Whoever that punk was he was going to pay with his life. He decided he would go out searching for his darling Ranma tonight. He had to have her.
Patience, yes patience is a virtue, it served him well for centuries. While he waited for the sun to set he decided he might as well regenerate but to do that he needed a snack first. Yosho stood up and went to the pantry in the kitchen. There were two big deadbolts on the door. He pulled back the dead bolts and opened the door. There he saw what he sought. The girl he grabbed the other night. She wore a blue school dress uniform and had long brown hair. She was pretty but not as pretty as his Ranma. She would be his play thing, then his snack. The girl looked up at Yosho with tears in her eyes as he stepped into the pantry. She backed against the wall and started to scream as he came closer.
"Noooooooooooo please." her screams went unanswered has they echoed in the deserted Mansion Yosho took up as his residence.
END OF CHAPTER 3-Shot Gun
Yes I know that end scene was evil. I actually got it from an old movie called Monster Squad. It's the scene where Dracula goes for a bite to eat and unlocks the closet where he has three school girls stashed. I know this chapter drug on being in Dr. Tofu's clinic but I couldn't think of a better way for the characters to interact with each other.
Next Chapter in order to lure out the female Ranma Yosho takes off with one of Ranma's Fiancé's. See you next time.
Edited 12/05/14
I have made this chapter a lot easier to read by breaking up the super paragraphs I wrote but was too lazy to fix at the time.
Not too many changes here. I went into a little more detail on what Dr. Tofu was doing with Ranma. Other than that I corrected the grammar and spelling mistakes.
"Hey you, yeah the guy about to hit the next chapter button. I see you. Leave a review. Let me know what you think."
