Looking at her wrist, a digital watch suddenly appeared on Mara's wrist.
"23:57:34"
"23:57:33"
"23:57:32"
"Yep, time's wasting," Mara mumbled. She kicked open the bathroom door. It was time to get the ball rolling and nail that pigtailed prick. After all, WHO could possibly resist HER charms?
Ranma jumped to her feet quite irritated. "Took you long enough, tomboy!" She started walking towards the bathroom, intent on getting hot water.
"Hurry up and change back!" The demoness commanded. "We've no time to waste!"
Ranma waved her words off and opened the faucet. She waited till the water was hot before splashing herself into male hood. "That's better." The demon didn't like his curse, not one bit, and maybe now he could do something about it. After all demons were the ones that cursed people, right?
Smiling, Mara literally flung herself at Ranma, pressing herself against his back as she purposely pressed her tits into his shoulders. "Much better, wouldn't you agree?"
The demon went as stiff as a board, his pigtail sticking out behind him. "What are you doing?!" He screamed nervously.
Smirking, Mara's right hand snaked into his pants as her left arm wrapped around his waist. "Listen and listen good, Ranma," she said in a husky voice as she licked his ear. "You're getting laid. You're going to get laid good. So just lay back, and let me worship your body, little man."
There was only one thing Ranma could do under the current circumstances. The pigtailed demon turned around, took both of Mara's wrists in his hands and forced them against the wall.
"Ooooh... You like it kinky, eh?" Mara asked, breathing out her words lustfully. "I can be kinky."
Ranma then released Mara's wrists, a panicked look on his face, and bolted out of the room so fast a trail of dust was left behind.
"23:52:13"
Blinking her eyes once, twice, thrice, Mara's lustful gaze turned into a burning glare. "COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE FUCKER!!!!"
"NO WAY!!!" Ranma screamed back as he jumped out the window.
Taking off quickly after him, she wasn't about to give up. Oh no! She had her reputation and rank on the line! She wasn’t going to be demoted because of some little demon afraid of sex. "I SAID HOLD STILL!!!"
There was no way he was letting Mara anywhere near him. Not when she was like this. "MAKE ME!!!" The pigtailed demon, having a head start, quickly ducked into the dark alleys and hid his presence. He continued to run, using the shadows as his cover.
Growling, Mara flew down the alley. "You can't hide forever, you know! So be a man and get laid already!"
Ranma ignored Mara. Instead he focused on trying to find a place where the demoness wouldn't think of looking for him. "Maybe if I went to a bar..."
Looking around, Mara was getting annoyed quickly. She looked back down at her watch.
"23:49:55"

A while later the pigtailed demon was sitting in a dark corner of a cheap bar, a cigarette in his hand. Running away from the demoness was HARD. He leaned back on his chair and allowed himself a smirk. In the end he'd managed to outrun Mara.
Just then the doors to the bar were literally kicked off their hinges as the blonde demoness stomped into the bar. She looked directly at the bartender. "You!"
"M-me!?" The Bartender squeaked, wishing to all Kami he wouldn't be dying today.
"Sake! NOW!!!" Mara shouted. Amazingly, many bottles were practically tossed at her. After all, who wouldn't try to placate someone that was glowing an aura of black death?
Ranma's eyes widened and he did his best to hide himself in the shadows. Maybe if Mara got drunk he could sneak out without her noticing him.
"Thanks," Mara grumbled. Starting to down a bottle, she went off to a corner to sulk and sat down...
...On top of a familiar lap.
"Um..." Ranma offered nervously.
Blinking her eyes, Mara turned her head... and smirked. "Heh. We meet again," she said as she grinded her hips on his, taking a swig of her sake, and grinned. "You do realize I'm going to take that pesky virginity of yours, don't you?" She asked as she continued to grind her mostly revealed ass against his crotch.
Ranma's panicked look told Mara things wouldn't be that easy. Instead of doing the expected thing when having a sexy demoness sitting on his lap the pigtailed demon threw her flat on her face and ran out the door as if all the demons of Hell were after him. He wasn't that far off from the truth... Mara was a denizen of Nifelheim, after all.
Getting back onto her knees, Mara growled as she rubbed her nose. "COME BACK HERE, LUCIFER BLESS IT!!!"
Literally levitating off the floor, Mara flew towards and THROUGH the front wall of the establishment as she went after the pigtailed demon.
"AS IF!!!" Was the response, sounding far in the distance already. That pack of cigarettes gave the demon all the needed energy to run like never before. While Shampoo was persistent she had nothing on Mara. What in Heaven got into the demoness?!
Growling, Mara started summoning balls of hellfire. She threw one out at him as she got close enough to get a decent aim on him. "STAND STILL!!!"
The pigtailed demon jumped at the last possible moment and the attack missed him by inches. He was then propelled towards Mara by the explosion and, using his proverbial fighting skills while in mid-air, used Mara's head as a springboard to reach a roof and resume running. He did pay close attention to the way Mara was manipulating her energy, though.
Growling, Mara reversed her levitation and kept back up on her chase of Ranma. "STOP RUNNING AND TAKE YOUR FUCKING LIKE A MAN!" She shouted as she gathered another ball of infernal fire.
Ranma didn't dare look back, knowing Mara was hot on his heels, and cursed the Saotome Final Technique for failing him. It obviously wasn't designed taking into account someone that could fly.
And again, Mara let loose a ball of hellfire...
...And another...
...And another...
...And yet another...
...And a rather large one there...
...And another...
Yes, Mara was flinging hellfire like mad causing destruction, chaos, and fear the likes of which she had never achieved before. Bless the consequences! There was no way she was failing on this mission.
The pigtailed demon felt the danger and turned to stare in horror at the barrage of fire coming at him. It was almost like fighting Saffron on steroids! He didn't know how the hell he was going to avoid being hit... unless... a grin suddenly split Ranma's face as he got an idea.
He then stumbled with a TV antenna and his eyes widened in horror. "OH SHIT!!!" Just then the fireballs reached him, unable to dodge.
*BOOM*
The explosion was huge, taking a large part of the roof of the house with it.
Mara smiled in victory as she saw Ranma get hit dead-on numerous times. She levitated down towards the somewhat-leveled home to capture her prize.
When the dust settled Mara could see a family staring at her in horror, one little girl bleeding profusely from a head wound. Yet of the pigtailed demon there was no sign. Except for the charred piece of cloth that seemed to belong to Ranma's shirt, together with one of his slippers.
Mara growled irritably. "Bless it!" She then took skywards, intent on tracking the pigtailed demon again.
Inside the house Ranma snickered, safely hidden by the thief's cloak of the Umisenken. It seemed like his plan worked.
"20:22:19"

Flat on his back, Kyo Kusanagi flinched from his potion. Iori stood above him, ready to deliver the final blow...
"This ends now, Kusanagi." The redhead sneered and started his downward slash...
Only to get knocked over as a pigtailed person ran him over. "Out of the way!"
Iori started to get up...
"GET BACK HERE DICKLESS!"
And Iori got kicked in the head as someone levitated right past him at high speed.
Amazingly the kick was enough to knock him out, saving Kusanagi's life in the process. Ironic that the fighter of 'justice' would be saved by the forces of Hell.
Letting out a breath of relief, Kyo sighed. "Someone up there likes me."
The response he got to that was being hit by a bolt of lightning coming down from a clear sky.
"19:43:06"

"She'll never find me here." Ranma, looking like something the cat dragged in, was kneeling under a bridge. He was starting to resent the long chase, since he had to exert himself to the limit, and was fresh out of cigarettes.
As he was starting to relax, however, Mara literally burst downwards THROUGH the middle of the bridge and levitated over to Ranma. "There you are!" She said seriously. Damn, she could use a drink.
"AHHH!" The demon jumped into the water, not minding of his curse, and remained underwater for the current to take him to safety.
Growling, Mara floated after the pigtailed demoness. "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME FOREV-"
*WHAM*!
Mara twitched as she stuck to the side of the steel-beam bridge....
Slowly sliding down the side, she came off and fell into the river with an audible 'plop'.
At least this once she was on the right track after him.
"19:05:56"
---
A water-logged Mara limped after the pigtailed redhead, who was limping only a little faster than her. Both had definitely seen better days and were about to drop, but were too stubborn to do so before the other one. "You... You can't escape..."
As they ran the two came to a dead stop outside a bar, a cigarette machine prominent outside the door.
Turning her head to Ranma, Mara asked hopefully, "Break?"
Ranma stared at back at the demoness, relief evident on her features. "Break."
And thus the two ran inside to get refueled and for Ranma to get some hot water.
Five minutes later...
"For the last time, GO AWAY!!!" Ranma jumped over a busy street.
Levitating, Mara cackled, a bottle of sake still in her hands. "NEVER!!!" She shouted. "YOUR VIRGINITY IS MINE, DO YOU HEAR ME? MINE!!!"
"Many have tried and failed!" The pigtailed demon shouted back defiantly, confidence surging within him now that he'd been running away from Mara for a while, taking the time to study something he was eager to learn. If he could get this right...
Mara smirked. "And many have tried and failed to resist me!" She shouted back. "And none ever could or ever will! YOU'LL BE CALLING ME QUEEN SOON ENOUGH!" She laughed like a traditional villain... Or rather some-what traditional as she took another swig from her bottle of sake.
The pigtailed demon smirked back. "Like Heaven!" With that he jumped and... continued going up?!
Blinking, Mara looked up. "When'd you learn that!?"
Ranma laughed, finding the flight exhilarating, and shouted back before disappearing over the horizon. "I learned from an old tomboy I know!" Mara had not been careful to hide, or at the very least try to dissimulate, her usage of demonic powers. That had given Ranma more than enough time to figure out how flight was done. Curious as it was, Herb had no idea of how to properly fly. Maybe that was why he only levitated?
Glaring a bit, Mara soon began to smirk once more as she flew up towards him and caught him off-guard, he was so excited about flying. Hugging him once more, she mashed her breasts into his chest. "Want to make love while flying? It's supposed to be erotic," she said while nibbling his ear again.
"AHHHH!!!" The pigtailed demon shouted once again and stubbornly refused to heed the call of his hormones. With skill born out of countless hours of air panda-bashing Mara soon found herself falling headfirst while Ranma flew in the opposite direction towards the ground. While he was happy about learning to fly it seemed like Mara was faster in the air.
Falling in a downwards spiral, Mara managed to right herself and fly across the ground, pushing over a few people before going back up into the air at speeds superior to Ranma. "You can't get away from me forever!"
"I can try!" As soon as the pigtailed demon touched down on the ground he ran towards a park. The trees would serve as obstacles, taking away Mara's speed advantage.
Knowing the trees would act to hinder her; Mara flew up high and threw down a ball of infernal fire, causing one rather large forest fire. She couldn't help the chuckle of satisfaction from escaping her lips. Now she had Ranma cornered.
Ranma's eyes snapped wide for a moment before smirking, another idea popping into his mind. Calming himself to the point of being emotionless he ran into the fire, mist forming around his body before the flames could eat at him.
Blinking her eyes, Mara could see steam rising up from the inferno. Not black smoke, but STEAM! "The heaven?"
"HA! I dare you to come inside, you ugly hag!" Came the voice from inside the raging inferno.
Growling, Mara did just that, flying downwards.
Unknown to her Ranma was running into an inwards spiral. Oh yes, the result of this technique was going to be HUGE!
"HI RYU SHOTEN HA!!!"
Mara didn't have time to scream as she was sucked up into a huge tornado which erupted in size far beyond that of the park, actually catching a few buildings around it.
The tornado, fueled by the raging flames, grew to gigantic proportions. In the eye of the storm Ranma allowed himself a smirk. This would at least give him half an hour.
"17:44:23"

Ranma walked into the temple grounds and started climbing the stairs; sure Mara would never look for him in here. "When will she give up? It's not like the world is gonna end because I don't give in," he grumbled.
"Yes it is!" Mara shouted as she flew down and landed at the top of the stone staircase. Her skin was dirty, her hair was messy, and her clothing disheveled, but her spirit wasn't crushed.
"Why won't you leave me alone?!" Ranma cried out in frustration. He didn't start running, though. Maybe this way he could get an explanation. He was getting tired of the game.
"Because if I don't, I'm fucked over royally!" She shouted. "Now just sit back and take your fucking like a man!"
Ranma took a step back, defiantly staring at Mara. "Young lady! That is no way to speak in a shrine!" A female voice reprimanded harshly.
"Who the fuck?" Mara asked, turning back to look at the source.
There was a middle-age woman standing there, staring hard at Mara and her disheveled state. "You should watch your mouth in shrine grounds."
Mara glared at the woman. "Fuck with that!" She then turned to where Ranma was...
...And saw him running down the steps.
"GET BACK HERE!!!" Mara shouted and flew down after him.
The shrine maiden shook her head. "Youth these days."
