Day Two: The Day Akane Fights Back
Tuesday The 10th
It was around nine o' clock, or maybe nine thirty, in the morning.
Aeris and I were sitting at a table near the window in a cafe just across the
street from the remains of the Crystal Lake Video store. "So how many
casualties are we looking at from this disaster?" I asked. "Around
twenty or so." replied Aeris. She remained calm and composed and drank her
coffee despite being less than a hundred feet from a mass murder scene where
more than twenty people had met their gruesome ends. I guess she was
better at putting mental images from her mind than I was. But I digress.
"So what now?" I asked. "We wait." said Aeris. It was starting to
snow again.
*********
That morning everyone had an excuse to get away from the breakfast
table early. Somehow everyone could sense something weird was going on. Even
Akane was nervous. All through breakfast Kasumi and Ranma-Chan would glance
at each other and then giggle like school girls who had some little secret
that they thought was truly hilarious. It made everyone else uneasy.
Nabiki kept silent. She reassured herself that it was none of her business.
If she followed the rules and stayed in line she'd have no trouble. What
anyone else did was not her problem. Soun and Genma also kept silent.
They didn't know what was going on an, considering recent events, they didn't
want to know either. Akane decided to try and make converstaion. "You
know, Dad, I've been thinking." "There's a rare feat." said Ranma-Chan
silently. Akane ignored it and went on. "We really need a new stereo
around here." Typical teenager request, right? Anything to break the ice.
"Aw, face it, Akane, you don't need a stereo. You don't have an *ear* for
music." said Ranma-Chan. On that note, Kasumi snickered. She was holding back
from laughing out loud.Even Ranma was trying hard not to laugh. Somehow they
both found Ranma's emphasis of the word "ear" utterly hilarious. Something
was definitely up.
**********
Akane was out in the front hall putting on her coat. She was going
out to talk to Azusa Shiratori again. She would probably turn out to be
completely useless but she decided to try anyway. "And just where do you
think you're going?" Akane turned and saw Ranma-Chan, dressed completely
in black, standing in the doorway. She had one hand behind her back.
"Since when is it any of your business, Ranma?" asked Akane in her usual
irritated tone. Ranma smiled. "You're going to see Azusa Shiratori,
aren't you? You somehow have some pathetic thought in that empty head of
yours that you and that nervous wreck can get me. Just like you thought you
could get rid of me four months ago." Akane was taken aback. How did she
know about--? "You didn't think I knew, did you, Akane? That you were
the eighth member of the conspiracy to get rid of me." "We never killed
anybody, Ranma." said Akane "If you'd just stayed gone." "Ah. There's
your problem right there." said Ranma "You see we just chose a more effecient
method of getting rid of people. A more permanent method. Had you and those
seven idiots you teamed up with thought of that then they might still be
breathing today." Akane's anger was starting to get the better of her.
She advanced on Ranma. Ranma brought her other hand from behind her back. The
blades on Ranma's glove were less than an inch from Akane's throat. "I'd
back up if I were you." said Ranma. Akane took a step back.
"Let's get one thing straight right now." said Ranma-Chan "I don't care who
you get to help you it won't do you any good. Soon you'll be dead. Soon
everyone in Tokyo will be dead. All you can do is wait for the inevitable. I
can kill you any time I want, Akane. And don't think I'm afraid of witnesses
or being caught. If I wanted to I could kill you right now." Ranma-Chan
smiled again. "Just keep that in mind." And, with that, Ranma left. A minute
later Akane left and headed straight for Azusa's house.
**********
"So what now?" asked Kasumi.
"We wait until she does something stupid." said Ranma "If she wants to
break the rules, fine. She knows the consequences."
**********
"You think you can scare me, Ranma Saotome?" Akane was talking to
herself again. "We'll just see about that. If you think you're going to get
away with this you're dead wrong. I can get revenge too."
**********
If you were to draw a straight horizontal line from the Crystal Lake
Video that was burned the night before alll the east side of Tokyo you's come
to another of Tokyo's many suburban districts. More importantly you'd wind up
at a small research laboratory that was the district's only major scientific
sector. There were two guards outside the front door that night. It was
getting close to nine o' clock. That's when they heard the scratching
sound.
**********
*BRIIING!*
Azusa barely managed to keep herself from hiding when the phone rang.
Akane went to answer it.
*BRIIING*
*Click!* "Hello?" began Akane.
"Hello, Akane? Remember me?" It was that distorted voice again.
"I know it's you, Ranma, so quit the voice tricks."
"Is it really?" There was a strange sound in the background. It sounded
like a large bonfire.
Akane checked the call-display.It was a payphone. It was Ranma. Who else
could it be?
"Then who is it?" asked Akane.
"This is Jenova." said the voice. For a second Akane could've sworn she
saw blood drip from the phone.
