Diablerie:Nerima Prologue Ranma woke with a start. It was about midnight, a hot summer night in Nerima. He had heard the door slam downstairs. He rose and went onto the head the stairs and watched as Akane slowly approached. She was in her own world, swaying slightly, and drenched in blood. She looked up and met Ranma's wide-eyed gaze. "A-A-Akane? Are you ok?" "Fine Ranma, just fine. You know, you really shouldn't worry so much about me." "I'm NOT worried! I'm definately not worried, but you ARE covered in blood..." "I'm alright Ranma...," Akane said, as her eyes began to glow, "next ting you know, you'll wake up and find out that this was all a really weirs dream. So wake up Ranma...wake UP RANMA..." "WAKE UP STUPID...ARRRRGHH!!!" Ranma's eyes flew open at the sound of Akane's voice. "Of everything that could possibly be the first sight i see in the morning, why do i have to be unlucky enough to see your face?!?" Akane's face grew crimson. "WHAAAT??" She screamed, her voice rising an octave or two. "It's bad enough that i had that stupid dream about you last ni..oops.." "WHAT DREAM?!?" "Well...er..." "You pervert!! I can't beleive you're having sick dreams about me!!! You're even worse than Happosai!" There was a resounding smack as Akane malleted Ranma over the head. Ranma, as a result, got silly. Nabiki, at this exact moment poked her face around the door and said,"If you two don't mind, could you finish your lover's quarrel and come down to breakfast before it gets cold?" It almost seemed to Ranma, that a forked tongue poked out of the corner of Nabiki's mouth at that moment, but he just passed it off as a brain hemmorage, induced by Akane's uncuteness. "Don't even THINK it Ranma!!!" Akane screamed at the top of her uncute lungs as she whacked Ranma again with the hammer. "You-u a-are s-so uncu-" Ranma stuttered as he passed ouy. "Nabiki! if you don't stop doing that, then he'll find out the truth!" "Well, Akane, if you don't stop treating him as one of your herd.." And with that comment, they turned and walked, arm in arm, to the dining are. They didn't notice Ranma listening in a semi-concious state.
