Part Three: October 31.
Twenty Days After The 1st Nerima Massacre.
Akane was starting to lose trust in everybody. She thought it might be
Halloween getting to her but she could swear that the majority of the garbage
bags outside the house had disappeared the day before garbage pick-up.
*BRIING!* Akane went over to answer the phone. *BRIING!* *CLICK!* "Hello?"
said Akane with a touch of dread. "Hello, Akane." It was *him* again. "You
again." said Akane with a mixture of fear and anger. "That's right, Akane."
said the voice. "Tonight. Tonight it all ends." There was a low click and
then there was nothing but the dial tone ringing in Akane's ear.
**********
Hiroshi and Daisuke were walking back from Furinkan High late that
afternoon. It had gotten dark early that Halloween. It was rather disturbing
actually. The new transfer student, a long white haired guy named Ken
Sephiroth (a.k.a Kenny) who always wore black, was walking just across the
street from them. That's when they spotted *the shape*. A dark figure lurking
in the shadows. Before they could say anything the ghost masked figure leapt
out of the shadows weilding a katana and stabbed and hacked away at Ken
Sephiroth until there was nothing distinguishable left. "Oh my God!" sreamed
Hiroshi "That guy killed Kenny!" "You bastard!" shouted Daisuke. When it
looked like the shape might come after them they turned and ran.
**********
Kasumi dressed up in her cloak and ghost mask right after dinner (which she
had decided to serve early)and snuck out of the house. She had plans of her
own. Trick Or Treat.
**********
Daisuke ran down the alley in hopes of escaping the ghost masked killer.
Once he thought he was safe distance away he slowed and looked back. As he
did he bumped into something. Another *shape*. He looked at the ghost masked
terror he had bumped into. This one was larger and it's mask appeared to be
melted onto it's face. Daisuke backed away and was about to scream when the
figure made one swift move and thrust a long seven inch kitchen knife into
his gut. When the figure removed the knife Daisuke fell backwards clutching
vainly at the wound as blood gushed over his hand. The shape quickly pinned
Daisuke to the ground and cut him open ripping away at what were no doubt
fairly vital organs. When the figure was done Diasuke had been ripped in
two. His eyes forever staring at the sky.
**********
Dr. Tofu was working late that night. It was Halloween and God only knew
what could happen. Either way he needed to be there in case of a medical
emergency.
Somehow he had a feeling there might be one tonight.
The office was darkened. Somehow that bothered him. He turned on almost
every light in the place.
It didn't help.
**********
Kasumi watched through the window of the office as Dr. Tofu turned on all
the lights.
She smiled. She quickly disposed of her 'Halloween costume' and went to
plan B.
**********
Hiroshi had brken contact with Daisuke well over an hour ago. Though
'broken contact' might be the wrong term. The truth of the matter was that
they had run like chickens with their heads cut off to avoid actually
*getting* their heads cut off. When he got home he slammed the door behind
him. There was no one else-- *BRIIING!* It was the phone. *BRIIING!*
*CLICK!* "Hello?" "Are you quite through running?" He didn't recognize the
voice but it was really distorted for some reason. "Who is this?" he asked.
"Why don't you tell me?" said the voice. *BING-BONG!* What a time for the
doorbell to ring. "Who is it?" Hiroshi shouted. "What's wrong with you?"
said the voice "Don't you know the rules? Never ask who it is it's like
having a death wish." "Trick or treat!" came the cry of children at the door
(Was it really children? It didn't quite sound right.) Hiroshi approached the
door. Maybe it really was just trick or treaters. Or maybe it was a psycho
with a ghost mask and a butcher knife the size of Iowa. He slowly turned the
knob and then flung open the door-- Darkness there, and nothing more. He
closed the door. "Nice try." he said. "Maybe you're right." said the voice,
but this timeit wasn't over the phone. It sounded a lot closer. Like it was
coming from right behind him.
**********
*BRIING!* The meeting at Uuchan's was interupted by the phone.
*BRIING!* Ukyo turned on the speaker phone.
"Uuchan's okonomi-yaki. How can I help you?"
"Hello, Ukyo." It was *him*. Everyone's attention turned to the phone.
"hat do *you* want?" asked Ukyo.
"The same thing you wanted." said the voice "I want revenge."
"Fuck you, coconut head." said Ranma.
"Is that any way to speak to your principal?"
"You fucked up all our plans, you son of a bitch! You should be fucking
dead! You hear me?!"
"Ranma, calm down!" said Shampoo.
"This isn't the way it was supposed to happen!" shouted Ranma "This isn't
how it was supposed to fucking happen!"
Just then the Principal hung up. The dial tone echoed through the room.
"Oh, no you don't!" shouted Ranma "You miserable son of a bitch you don't
hang up on me!" He charged towards the phone and continued cursing at it as
though it might make a difference one way or the other.
"Does anyone else hear that scratching sound?" asked Nadoka.
**********
"Oh, Kasumi." said Dr. Tofu in a light headed manner as he opened the
clinic door. "It's you." "Yes, Doctor." said Kasumi in her sweetest tone of
voice "I just stopped by to see how you were doing." Dr. Tofu almost passed
out then and there and Kasumi's job would be done (or at least the part that
involved him). Kasumi continued her 'loyal little housewife' routine. Yes,
sir. No, sir. Can I suck your dick, sir. (She definitely would not have said
the latter for fear that the good doctor would definitely pass out or, worse
yet, take her up on that offer) The clinic was filled with little trinkets
that made Kasumi's mind dance. Razor sharp little scalpels (for minor
purposes only, of course, for Doc Tofu was no surgeon), sharp little needles.
The only place with better stuff would be a medieval dungeon in Kasumi's
mind. She managed to carry on her conversation with Dr. Tofu while looking
over all the neat little toys. She even spotted a tray with hypodermic
needles filled with anithstetic. That gave her an idea.
**********
The Principal was none too subtle in his entrance. The scratching Nadoka
had heard was the sound of the Principal's knife scratching against the glass
door. A second later the Principal punched his entire hend through the glass
and (although somewhat awkwardly) managed to smash down the door. The
Principal dramatic enternace, however gave him no advantage. Ukyo started
flinging knives (which she had retrieved earlier from the kithen) at him.
This caused the Principal to go into full retreat out the door. By the time
anyone followed he was long gone.
**********
About ten minutes later, dispite his injuries, the Principal arrived at the
clinic. He knew full well that if he went up and *asked* Dr. Tofu for
treatment he would no doubt end up in jail or worse. Either way he would
never get his revenge (though he might get that melted mask off his face).
But he needed medical treatment so he decided to sneak in and try and get the
necesarry supplies. It was unusually dark inside the clinic.. and it was far
too easy to sneak in. Perhaps Dr. Tofu wasn't working tonight. Just then he
spotted a nurse working in a corner of the room. As he approached her he
relized who it was. It was Kasumi. "Good evening, Principal." she said in
her usual happy tone without looking at him. The Principal took a step back.
He saw something gleaming in Kasumi's hand. "I know just what you need."
said Kasumi "It'll only take a minute."
Epilogue: November 1
Twenty-One Days After The 1st Nerima Massacre.
It was all over the headlines the next morning. About how Dr. Tofu had been
drugged and the Principal horribly mutilated but no clues as to who did it.
Ranma was still a little bothered by Kenny Sephiroth's death. The Principal
didn't have a katana, yet witnesses (and the corroner) said that was the
weapon that killed him. So who had killed Sephiroth?
**********
In the wood just outside Nerima, Sephiroth's killer dumped the black cloak
and ghost mask. Her own 'halloween costume'. Aeris Gainsborough brushed back
her hair and laughed a little to herself. She stuck the bloody sword she had
used into the side of a tree. "And they said I'd never get him." Aeris said
to herself "But what did they know?" She smiled and laughed to herself.
The End...? (Not Likely)
