A Demon Rises

Ranma was walking back to the Tendo Dojo slowly for once.  Whistling
quietly to himself, all was right with the world.  I'm glad I managed to
get out before Akane spotted me this time.  The day-glow orange rice
probably would have been worse than usual knowing that baka tomboy!  At
least I got some free ramen from Shampoo.  Ranma was about to open the gate
when something came flying through it!
KKRRAACCKK!!!!!!  as the gate shattered, and immediately following that,
the "thud" as something hit the wall across the street.

	"What the?!?!"  Ranma turned to look at whatever hit the wall, "Pop!!!!" 
He jumped for the groaning body of his father, buried halfway into the
wall.

	"Aaaaaahhhhhhhh,"  Genma groaned.

	"Pop! Pop, snap out of it!  What the hell's going on in there?"  Ranma
demanded, shaking his father for a moment before noticing the blood leaking
from Genma's side and the white of bone from his shattered arm. 
"POP!!!!!!! I gotta get you to the doctor!"

	"Aahhh... no, no boy... it would be to late for the others then..."  Genma
opened the one eye not swollen shut.

	"Others?  Akane!!"  Ranma turned to leap over the wall into the Tendo
yard.  Before he could leap, though, a hand grabbed his leg.

	"Wait Boy!  Do not leap into a battle you know nothing about!  *Cough*
*Cough* *Hack*" Blood sprayed from Genma's mouth.

	"Pop let go of me.  If Akane's in trouble I've gotta save her!  Whatever
is in there, I'll beat the crap out of it,"  Ranma looked down at his
father.  Genma grimaced in pain.

	"Son,  this is the greatest threat you've ever faced.  The demon has
awakened!"

	"Demon?!?"

	"Yes Ranma, Demon! He was an unholy terror from what I heard when he was
younger, but thankfully, thankfully! he'd gotten too old to do anything but
dream of his younger days.  At least until that package was delivered an
hour ago..."

	"Pop, one last time, who or what are you talking about? Or else I'll
finish up what was started on you!"  A scream of terror echoed from the
house.  "Shit!!!"  Ranma dashed to the wall and over it in a matter of
seconds.  Genma groaned again and slowly managed to raise himself off the
ground.  He started to stumble to the gate when a loud splash and another
scream came from the house.

	"He was impossible to stop when all he could do was fondle underwear...
Now that he's gotten that box of Viagra, a monster has been unleashed!" 
Genma weaved back through the gate.  "Nodoka! Where are you!?"

	Ahem.... Looks down at keyboard.... Did I just type that?  I have NO idea
where this came from (other than a fevered mind after a final).  For those
of you who don't know, Viagra is a new anti-impotence drug that recently
came out on to the market (and people have been going insane over).    

	Now back to more sane things like that @#@#%%#$#$@@#$ thesis.... Sigh...
