Do not ask me where this came from, cause I do not know.



I blame this on late nights due to Mountain Dew overdoses.



    I'm taking that as a challenge. You want a wierd spamfic/idea?

Here's one, with extra sad attempts at humor sprinkled in for good

measure:



The Ultimate Technique



Disclaimate as appropriate.



'Ranma' is property of Viz, Rumiko Takahashi, and various others who

probably don't approve of my misuse of their property.





Ranma flicked his pigtail over his shoulder, "Feh. I could beat you in

my sleep." Then he turned his back to Ryouga.



Ryouga frowned, "I'll get back at you for this somehow, Ranma!"



***



Ryouga ran. Run Ryouga, run. Why does Ryouga run?



He glanced behind him to be certain, but the thirty-foot tall slavering

creature was still hot on his heels. Teeth sharp enough to cut

through... well, probably not Ryouga's thick skull, but likely the rest

of him, were littered around what the lost boy guessed passed for a

mouth. Ichor and spittle oozed along, and spattered on the pavement

behind it.



Ryouga looked away, unsure if he ever wanted to look again. <Come on!

Come on! HURRY!>



Of course, the problem with a curse is, it never works when you _want_

it to. It only works when you _don't_. A location popped into Ryouga's

head just then, and he changed course, running in a straight line

towards it. Sundry things like stone walls, elderly couples, and Sherman

tanks were simply smashed through without pause, since Ryouga didn't

have the breath to apologize.



If it had occurred to him _where_ he was leading the demon, he might not

have been so eager to go to this one place he could suddenly remember

how to get to. He skidded to a halt, having lost the creature

momentarily, and looked around.



A nearby sign read, 'Tendo Dojo'. Ryouga blinked between gasps for

breath, considering running to spare sweet innocent Akane, and leading

the demon inside to deal with his arch-rival, Ranma. Ryouga knew that

Kuno wasn't Ranma's arch-rival, despite the bokken wielding kendoist's

claims. Ranma even gave him a laminated card that read:



Hibiki Ryouga



Saotome Ranma's Arch-rival



#01 NRMA



The lost boy fished the card out to admire it momentarily, then returned

it to his pocket. As if on cue, or as though the card summoned him,

Ranma sauntered into view, "Hey Ryouga, what's up?"



Ryouga gathered himself, and calmly explained the situation, "TEETH! Big

_NASTY_ teeth! Chasing me! RUN!"



Ranma, a veteran of situations like this nodded, and said, "Ah. The

thirty-foot tall slavering monstrosity breathing down your neck right

now, or the fire-breathing one that attacked this morning?"



After checking behind him, Ryouga consulted his Thesaurus (he carried

everything around with him, you know) and said, "The, uh... former."



Ranma nodded knowingly, "I see. Well, why don't you run around in a

blind panic, and I'll gather some reinforcements to eradicate the

demonic threat? Most of them are probably still at the cafe from this

morning's attack."



Ryouga flashed Ranma a smile, "You're a pal, Ranma!" After a moment of

silence, Ryouga shrugged, "Don't worry, it'll be back to 'Die Saotome'

tomorrow."



Ranma released a breath of relief, "Oh, good. Well, see you later!"



"Take care. Now, let's see... ah yes. AAAAHHH!!" Ryouga ran in a wide

circle, the monster chasing him, while Ranma assembled those who could

be summoned to help fight the demon.



***



Genma observed the demon for a moment, then heaved a sigh. "It's come,

Tendo. The demon we've been fearing for all those years has finally

returned."



Soun consulted his day-planner briefly, then shrugged, "Which one?" He

glanced at the creature briefly, "Ah. That one. Well, it's time to skip

directly to the ultimate technique, then."



The old, bald man glanced around at the assembled heroes. Ranma, Mousse,

Akane, and Kasumi. He knew better than to count himself, since he was

about as far from heroic as you can _get_ and still be related to Ranma.

Why he counted Kasumi... well. "Kasumi, can you make some of the...

special tea?"



Kasumi nodded and returned shortly, while Ranma smacked himself in the

forehead with an open palm, "Pop! Do we _have_ to use that technique?"



Genma nodded gravely, "I'm afraid so, boy."



Everyone else with the exception of Soun blinked. Not that they didn't

normally blink anyway, but they made the kind of synchronized blinks

that made those neat squeegee noises. Kasumi returned with the tea, and

the part rushed outside to see Ryouga still running in circles through

the ruin of a neighbors house. "AAAHHHH- Oh, hi Ranma! HHHHHH!"



Ranma gulped the tea down, and tossed the cup to Genma, then... passed

out.



Akane sweatdropped, while Genma shouted, "Ryouga! This way! Lead it to

Ranma!"



Ryouga did so instantly, and the demon followed even as the lost boy

leapt over Ranma's sleeping body.



>From a safe distance, Akane asked, "What... what did you do to Ranma!?"



Genma sighed, "The ultimate technique. Ranma is invincible in his sleep.

It's the most defensive form of Martial Arts Sleeping known to man."



Akane face-faulted, while Soun nodded knowingly, "Of course. The Tendo

school teaches the most offensive form of Martial Arts Sleeping. Why

else do you think I had to find a house with a separate room for each of

the family member in Tokyo? I'm poor, it wasn't a whim. Anway, that's

why the houses have to be joined."



Meanwhile, Ranma was busy beating the crap out of the demon. In his

sleep.





Notes: Nyah! This idea's been bouncing around in my head for a while.

Caffeine prompted me to get it out.
