Akane Tendo in
Everything Goes Martial Arts:
	    Time Enough For Lust: chapter 2

a lemon


  Many people of the Nerima district of Tokyo found this day a
typical early summer day. The weather was normal, being 'mostly
sunny with the occasional rain shower'.  
  The construction companies had their hands full with requests
for 'Routine Maintenance'. It was a term that they had learned to
dread. 
  A perverted old man had gone on a lecherous pilfering spree.
Screams of teenage girls and older women were heard, leaving an
audible wake from his passage. He was eventually slowed enough by
a man so the women could take revenge and their undergarments.
  A pair of resturant style martial artists duked it out on the
streets. They were competing for take out customers, eventually
causing a good deal of property damage with flour bombs and
strewn noodles.
  The evening was particularly nice. The sky settling in the many
layered hues of red, orange, blue, yellow, and purple. 
  However, even given all of this, there was one strange thing
that occured. It was one quirky happenstance that set the entire
day on edge. Ranma Saotome was not the center of it all.
  This was something that one particular girl enjoyed over all
other things. She felt free that day, having spent it with her
friends shopping for the summer and college.  She felt free of
onerous title of 'Ranma's Fiancee'. She was free of his influence
and his insults, his constant bickering.
  She, one Akane Tendo, felt happier than she had in a long time.

  In her hands were her purchases of the day. She had two
swimsuits, one was a conservative blue and gold racing one piece,
the other a rather skimpy two piece two-tone tan bikini that made
her look like an exotic pacific islander. Well, it could if she
got a tan.

  Akane finally registered the magnificent sunset. It had gone
past the playful pastels where the sun was still near the
horizon, and displayed deeper tones of blue, red, orange and
purple. The sun was lost to the eye, making it easy to stare at
the day's end.

  Only halfway through the park she stopped, having heard a
female scream. 

  That scream disturbed her, and she decided to investigate. The
lamps in the park provided enough illumination as she ran
crosswise to the stone paths and potted trees.
  Adrenaline was pumping through her system, causing a sense of
euphoria and alertness. She stopped to look around, the sound of
the girl lost to her movements. Akane heard a weak whimpering
sound to her left, and leapt for it.
  She landed in a bush, it's branches and leaves scraping at her
legs and arms. 
  "WHO DARES?" cried an inhuman voice. Multilayered and piercing,
it almost caused Akane to loose her resolve.
  "Oh man! This is so embarassing!" a girl's voice whined. It set
a counterpoint to the bestial tones of the first.
  "PERVERT!!!" Akane screamed hefting her mallet, the packages
momentarily forgotten.
  "YOU ARE NOT MY PREY, LEAVE AND YOU MAY LIVE." the first form
intoned.
  "DIE!!!" Akane screamed swinging her mallet around wildly.
  "TOO LATE."
