"Heh," it laughed, "Most people would seek out a cross or some stupid holy symbol or some useless weapon like a gun or sword that will go right through me. Wonder what the girl will go for when I come into her room and become visable."
There the imp watched and waited. It had been following her for most of the day and she seemed rather distracted. Being an imp, he couldn't simply attack her in the middle of the street. What fun would that be. It is more fun to attack them when they think they are at there strongest. Well, as long as they aren't priests or anything like that. He would let his bigger brothers deal with the stupid priests.
"Hmm," he thought, "she has stopped moving in that room. Well, time to let myself be known."
Ranma had had a bad day so far. Waking up with Nabiki by his side had been nice, but his father had managed to keep both breakfast and lunch away from his son. Sigh. And it looked like there wasn't any food for dinner either.
"Guess I'm going hungry again," he announced to no one.
Going back over the morning, he realized something, Nabiki had seemed weird this morning. She seemed less energetic. Ranma started to get a little worried. "She wasn't sick was she? Maybe I should check up on her?" he thought, "Well it isn't like I am doing anything here." With that a bucket of cold water was dumped over his head.
Nabiki knew it. She knew it. Something had been following her. And standing in front of her was a small being that stood three foot tall, was orange, bat winged, had a poison tipped tailed, with red eyes, horns and fangs. It was an imp. Great, she had been followed by a freed demon. Could it get any worse?
The answer is yes. The small demon produced its fangs and slowly started to fly towards the girl. It had just about reached her when she was able to leap out of the way. Quickly she threw open the door and started for the stairs, and ran straight into Kasumi.
"Run," she said as both her and Kasumi regained their balance. Nabiki started a mad dash to the front door.
Kasumi was about to ask what it was, when she saw it. An evil spawn, only three feet tall. It looked kinda cute, until you saw the fangs and glowing red eyes. She quickly decided to follow Nabiki's lead and ran toward the front door with the demon in hot pursuit. Nabiki's hand had just opened the front door, when Ranma appeared on the other side.
"Hi, Nabiki," said a happy Ranma to a surprized Nabiki.
Ranma was recovering a little from the cold and was surprized to not see Nabiki. Where was she? Oh, outside the Tendo home. Suddenly the front door was opened.
"Hi, Nabiki," said a happy Ranma to a surprized Nabiki.
"No time Ranma!" Nabiki shouted, "I am about to be eaten by that demon!"
"I got it," Ranma said. Redirecting his voice to the imp he said, "I am Ranma Saotome of the School of Anything Goes Martial Arts. I will not allow you to hurt them. Now leave this household or deal with me." As he said this he got into his martial arts stance and started to produce a white battle aura.
Nabiki started to get scared, while Ranma might be a skilled martial artist, he was a sex spirit, not a fighting one. The imp could likely tear him in half with a fireball spell. Even an amateur summoner knows that if a spirit is kill then it is game over. Do not pass go. Do not collect two hundred dollars. That would be the end of Ranma if he was killed. She could not just stand here and let that happen could she?
"Um..., Nabiki, not to be rude or anything, but do you know that strange naked girl in our front door? And how does she know our schools martial arts style?" asked a confused Kasumi.
"You can see her?" Nabiki asked. Then it hit her, it was Ranma's battle aura that was enabling people to see Ranma. It must be the same with the imp. Great now she was going to have to explain this to Kasumi as well. "Um... she is my friend Nabiki, a spirit. To be honest I am not sure how she knows Anything Goes," she finally admitted to Kasumi.
"What is going on," thought the imp as he watched the trio. This was indeed amusing. Watching the two girls almost fall down the stairs had given him some enjoyment, but the spirit's attempt to battle him was down right funny. A sex spirit at that. Being even a lesser demon gave him more of a sort of rank than any other spirit. After all, all humans fear even the smallest demon.
"Now young succubus, don't assume that you can even hope to defeat me," he stated to the naked spirit before him, "It would be a shame to kill a spirit as lovely as you, but it would not be the first or the last time. These two girls are mine now. Go find nutrients elsewhere."
"I told you that I will not allow you hurt them," Ranma reiterated.
What was he going to do. The demon was not prepared for any form of challenge. He usually went after the weak and helpless. Well, this young spirit is still both. "Oh, well," it fumed, "there goes my chance at a date. I was even gonna offer her the bigger one." "Very well, young temptress, you have given me no choice in the matter. You will be sorely missed." With that the demon attacked.
