After saying in my last posting about getting time off the mental
hospital, I got the idea of this lemon.  I was written in 1 hour so I
guess this is my contribution to the 1 hour challenge.

Kuno Kodachi is owned by Ruminko Takahashi.
Kuno Kodachi has been stolen by Ryan Davies.  Muahahaha  now what are
you going to do Takahashi now that I have her?  Well now that I think
about it I'll give her back.  I don't want her...

In the past 4 years of work at Messenger House, I thought I'd seen it
all.  A 200 lb former University of Washington Wrestler thinking I had
stolen his Mercades.  People talking to the wall and relpying as if it
had answered.  Sex offenders running up and down the hall masturbating.
I even had a 2 time attempted murderer who practiced Voodoo threaten to
kill me for not giving her pudding for dessert.  But the time Kodachi
was admitted will be something I'll never forget...

What!?!
(Self Emersion fanfic based on my real experiences working at a mental
hospital in Washington)

I was walking down the hall of the low incident ward to get a mop.  I
had just been chewed out for not coming to work in uniform.  It didn't
really bother me since I almost never come to work in proper uniform.  I
was too broke to buy any new ones and I knew they weren't going to do
anything about it because I was the last of the dependable workers in
the kitchen so usually I could get away with it.  While fiddling with
the lock of the janitor's room, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a
young woman in a gymnast uniform.  This wouldn't have bothered me before
except we don't usually get people this young since this is one of the
places Western State Mental Hospital sent its "No longer a threat of
escaping" people.  "Oh well, its not the first time Western State has
screwed up," I thought to myself as I came out with what I needed.  I
had thought about the person manage to tear a Master Lock right off a
door before.

Now that I could get a good look at what was going on, my mouth gaped
open, instantly knowing just who she was.  Four nurses were holding her
down, trying to shoot her up with some kind of tranquilizer so they
could put her in a straight jacket.  The whole time she was struggling,
shouting about how they couldn't keep her away from her beloved Ranma.

Once the drug took effect, she was out like a light.  I went over to see
if my suspicions were right.  Sure enough, Kodachi was lying there as
the nurses quickly put the straight jacket on.  The nurses were mumbling
about how its been a while since they've needed to use one and about how
Western State was going to hear about this one.  Still in shock I
mumbled "Kodachi, what's she doing here?"

Suddenly the nurse I knew as the infections control nurse suddenly
turned toward me.  "You know this woman?  How on Earth would you know
her?  Apparently she was found on a freighter that docked in Seattle
last week.  Seems strange that you would know her..."

"Its a long story...Now why in the world would she be here?"  I was
worried.  I knew what she could do and I didn't think the restraints
were going to hold her long enough for the problem to be corrected.
But, against my better judgement, I didn't say anything and went back to
the kitchen.  I could overhear the nurses saying that they were moving
her to the new wing which was more secure.

An hour later, the alarm goes off.  I knew it, now this really sucks
since I was one of the people who was supposed to help find and catch
her since I apparently knew her.

"How'd she get out?" I asked at the hastily gathered meeting.

"Apparently she just was able to rip out of her restraints and walk
right out..."

"But how's that poss..." I stopped realizing what I was going to say.
The people who run this place are so stupid.  Nobody could remember the
security code to open the secured doors so some genious wrote the code
above the door.

"Alright first things first.  Ryan, you seem to know her, what would she
be trying to do right now?"

"I can't exactly say I know her, I've seen a few tapes of her..."

"What?"

"Long story...my guess is she'll try to find anyway she can to get back
to Japan.  That means the ferry to Seattle."

As everyone scrambled to make phone calls to warn the authorities and
the ferry service, I sighed, knowing there was little hope of stopping
her.

I got into the company vehicle and drove as quickly as possible to the
ferry terminal, I was doing this against my will.  I was in no way going
to get between her and Ranma, I wanted to live longer than the others
did.

As I rushed to the docks, I could hear that insane laugh as she screamed
about not stopping her now.  I just stopped.  I was not going do
anymore, I just did not want to get involved anymore.  Besides it was
payday and I needed to go buy that new Tenchi video.

The next morning I watched the Channel 5 news report"A psychotic woman
was captured by the Coast Guard when she attempted to hijack a
Washington ferry.  However, later that evening, she had escaped on a
life raft and is still at large.  The searches will be conducted on
nearby coastal islands for the missing woman."

A couple months later, I hear about a new Ranma movie coming out called
"Nihao my Concubine 2:  Kodachi on the floating island"
