Her hand trembled, her grip weakened, loosening her grasp of the knife. "That's it," Kasumi soothed hypnotically, a light burning in her wide, somehow... vacant... eyes. "Join with us... we can forgive what you've done to Nabiki... it's alright. Just give in...."
The hand trembled, one finger opening at a time. Ukyou couldn't deny that spike of flame through her heart... that spike of nearly painful joy and hope. "I...."
"It's okay," Kasumi cooed, one hand rising to Ukyou's cheek. "Come on, now."
The knife teetered, nearly to fall to the floor. "Please... no...."
"Come, Ukyou. You're one of us." Kasumi's softly furred hand caressed the bare skin of Ukyou's cheek....
...bare skin? Hand tightening, she whirled, whipping the knife violently across Kasumi's outstretched hand. It severed instantly, falling to the floor with a moist and disgusting *plop*, spattering green goop everwhere.
"Not one of you," Ukyou said shakily. That flame in her heart wasn't lust; it was love. And it was her love for Ranma that kept her as human as she still was... bunny ears and all....
"Naughty," Kasumi said, still smiling. She withdrew the spurting stump, which slowly reformed a nub of flesh over the wound. "But you will join with us, Ukyou-chan. It is inevitable."
"No," Ukyou whimpered, backing away.
"Yes," Kasumi breathed, encroaching once more.
"I'll use it again!" Ukyou threatened, brandishing the steak knife again. In response, Kasumi opened the front of her outfit, baring her furry breasts to Ukyou.
Ukyou stared in fascination, as the blade of a Chinese sword sprouted from between the furry mounds, twisting sideways before more green ichor spurted to the ground. "Oh... my," Kasumi murmured, just before she, too, exploded.
Shampoo stood there, covered in green ichor and looking furious. "You not one of them," she said in clipped tones, favoring one foot, her free hand clamped to her torso.
"N... no... but you are!" Ukyou accused, bringing her paltry steak knife up as though to fend off Shampoo's sword.
The Chinese girl snorted, using the sword as a walking stick. "Hiba-chan say this happen. Shampoo tell lie, get ready to be close when all go bad. Too late. Too-too sorry." Shampoo looked like she wanted to say something else, then raised her hand from her side. Aside from the green ichor, she was bleeding. Red blood.
The two girls stared at one another, eyes meeting. Horrified, Ukyou slashed wiped her steak knife on her clothes, and experimentally cut one finger.
A single drop of red blood.
Shampoo nodded in satisfaction. "Shampoo... not good. Many more to fight. Need help, yes?"
"You handled yourself pretty well," Ukyou muttered, though she didn't relish going out into more of this madness alone.
"Rescue Airen," Shampoo clarified. "You carry. Shampoo help fight. Take to Hiba-chan. Good plan?"
