This was the moment when the heroes were distinguished from the fools, this was the end of the line. Slowly backing as far away as she could from the dragon, Yohko Mano knew this to be true and knew that there would be no second chance this time. She didn't want to hurt this Akane girl, even though her scrolls had told her that this young woman was originally a spoiled and lazy brat that didn't make her a demon. Could she really bring herself to outright attack this dragon despite what it was trying to do?
"Akane really is a sweet girl deep down.." She heard a soft and eloquent voice murmur and found herself staring at a beautiful teapot on the ground in front if her. "..even if she is a violent maniac." Blinking Yohko watched the overly friendly teapot get crushed under one of the malicious dragon's feet.
"Who wants you opinion anyway??" Akane sneered as she walked all over her older sister, her talons making a scraping sound as she pulled herself forward.
Staring at the dragon Yohko was rendered speechless. Could she really bring herself to outright attack this dragon? This stuck up brat? this lazy ugly, uncute monster! Yes, yes she could!
Not even bothering to pose this time she launched herself into the air as the vile beast, who most likely still thought of itself as a young woman, blasted the ground she had been on scorching the area and what little space she and the two preteens had been occupying. Sasami and Hotaru, she didn't even dare to look back to see if they were okay, deep down she knew they weren't, deep down she knew that they had become the red dragons prisoners. But they would be okay wouldn't they? They had to be. She would see to that. If she kissed Ranma, then everything would go back to normal right? Yeah, that was what the flyers had said, but now Ranma's location was in the middle of a lava lake. Still even now she felt sure that she could reach him if she was allowed the right momentum and the time to jump. But to enable success she first had to buy herself some time. With an angry battle-cry she met the uncute dragon head digging her blade in between its two reptile-like eyes and using the momentum to heave herself onto its back.
Roaring in pain and anger the dragon grasped for her trying to swat her of its back as she brought down her Sword between its shoulder blades. Black blood spurted everywhere splashing Yohko's face and soaking her dress and then.. suddenly..
There was feeling of change, as if something was shifting..
* * *
Still staring into the pigtailed boy's vividly blue eyes Skuld hurriedly pulls away from him and then jabs him in his ribs. How dared the guy!! Especially after she resuscitated him!
"Why did you punch me?" Ranma grumbles giving her a hurt look but the young Norn would have non of it. Still straddling him she leaned back a bit. Why was he looking at her that way anyway? he was the one that had.. urrk..
"What do you think?" She quaked her face becoming almost as red as the lava that surrounded the glass casket. "You-- You pushed your dirty tongue into my mouth!!" Wishing that she had at least brought one more Skuld-bomb with her she fixes him him with a glare. Only she wouldn't have used the bomb to blow up the boy but rather herself to escape the embarrassing situation.
"Whaa??" The boy spluttered his cheeks taking on the same colors as her own. "Listen kid, I was trying to tell yah to stop smooching me!"
Yupp that did it, she would just have to build a Skuld-bomb on sight!Muttering something barely intelligible she tried ignoring her flushed face as she looked everywhere but at the guy she was sitting on. Then she blinked.
"Hey wasn't everything supposed to turn to nor--" before she could even finnish her sentence though there was a feeling of something around them changing and then the casket lurched. Eeping she grabbed onto the first things she got her hands, as a means to keep herself from falling out and into the lava stream, and heard the guy yell at her about not ripping out his hair. The Casket lurched again and this time she heard it, the unmistakable giggling she had come to hate, the insane giggling of; "BUGS!!"
* * *
Okay lets recap here. One, he Ranma Saotome man among men had just been rescued by a girl. Two, he Ranma Saotome man among men had just been rescued by a kid! Okay looking back, admittedly he had come to terms with that he might very well end up being kissed by Sasami or that other kid Hotaru but he had imagined it becoming just a little kiss y'know? Tiny girls, tiny kisses. Boy had he been wrong. Finding himself brought back from Lala-land from yet another child he had been shocked by the girls action. Her eyes wide open staring into his, she hadn't moved her lips away from his until he had started speaking. And when she had she had punched him of all things! A fe words exchanged with him later she had suddenly shouted something about bugs and pulled up a giant hammer. That was when he had realized what her problem was; She was a violent maniac!
However as the girl had wildly swung with her hammer the whole place had seemingly started to melt away, the nasty red glow had quickly dispersed and even the lava had started disappearing, shrinking away from around them as if a cork had been pulled out somewhere.
Ranma gasped as the walls disappeared all around them and everything started to become like it had been before the wish. All of Akane's victims slowly reverted back to their normal selves as did the uncute one herself. Soon they where all bustling about searching for friends and loved ones, family as well as foe.
"Clever little bastards.. I can't hear them anymore but I know they are still here." Skuld, the girl that had rescued him muttered. "Stupid. Stupid.. why didn't I bring my bifocals with me!!"
Staring at the young girl Ranma had to cough more than twice before he got her attention. "Uhh. you gonna sit there much longer??" He asked the her.
The girl gave him a startled look as if she had only remembered him being there now, her face once again taking that red shade. Much as he hated embarrassing her though he still wanted her to get off of him as quickly as possible. Her reaction wasn't fast enough however as he soon found his uncute fiancée looming over them.
"I see the path of a pervert is full of perils. Huh, Ranma?"
Akane hisses through clamped down teeth. Even considering what she had put not only him but them all through Ranma still winces at seeing the nasty cut across his uncute fiancée's forehead and nose.
"Damn Akane you're look terrible.. you might need some plastic surgery y'know.." Ranma lamented feeling sorry for the tomboy. She never had been cute in the first place but looking like she did now she had been better of still being a dragon. Akane however did for some strange reason not appreciate his concern it seemed.
"You shouldn't talk Ranma, I've seen you naked you know. Is that why you go after little girls you pervert? To feel.. big?" The last was deliver in a soft voice rivaling Kasumi voice at its nicest. "Huh, what do you say kid? You want to ride the horsy? You want a ride on the wild horse??"
Ranma was shocked beyond belief. What the hell was Akane doing? He knew that she could be violent, downright egotistical and more than a little stupid be had never even in his worst nightmare pictured her like this. This was just a little girl, a kid for crying out loud. It was one thing that she insulted and called him a pervert, a homosexual, a crossdresser and other retarded things but this was sick! Not even Jijji would have ever put a kid through crap like this.. and Jijji was a pervert! Having been imprisoned by Akane had let him see her for what she really was, a possessive spoiled woman. But now he saw something even worse in her.. This woman would never be a good mother to anyone, this woman would become an even worse parent then Ranma's own father.
"Why would I want to ride a horse?? And I'm not a kid!" Skuld muttered glaring up at Akane who for the life of her finally lost it.
"Get up you!" The Tendou girl snarled jerking the preteen to her feet. "listen here you little pervert-in-training, he is mine!!"
"You calling me a pervert!?!" The young girl balked at Akane, straightening her short skirt angrily.
"That's just what I said you little pervert!" Akane shoot back.
"I'm a pervert???" Skuld fumed hefting her hammer. "You're the pervert!!" It wasn't something Ranma had expected to ever see happening but seeing it did bring a smile to his face. Swinging her long hammer in a long arch the kid, whom Ranma now had to admit had her good points, brought it righteously down onto the uncute maniacs head. Damn had Akane ever had a bug stuck up her nose.
