Demons and Angels

"You know, Miyu, this is getting rather ridiculous," Maika commented.
Miyu nodded. "At least the arrival of Compiler and Assembler means we can have a rest."
They watched the fight for a little longer. "It's a shame that the little Magical Girl Pretty Sammy
is having such trouble trying to persuade them to let her have a go," Miyu said after a small pause.
"Do you believe this is one of her missions?"
"Of course." Miyu pointed over the balcony. "You see? There's Pixie Misa."
Another strange creature loomed over buildings. "Is that one of our..."
"Men in Black, Agent's J and K." The girls turned. One of them almost smiled. "I'm Agent J. We need
to use your apartment for a moment, Hyperdolls."
"What for?" Maika asked.
Agent J broke into a light sweat and crossed his legs. "Well actually, I just wanted to use the
bathroom."

Ryoga looked at the Doctor in frustration. "WHY can't you just give me a prescription of
anti-depressants or something and let me go home?" he pleaded. "It's been _days_ since I broke that
wall! And it was an accident!"
The Doctor sighed. "I told you, we'll talk about it tomorrow. We're just interested in your sleep
patterns."
Ryoga blinked in astonishment. "B-but I thought this was all because of my emotional state! What
does me sleeping have to do with anything?!"
"Sure I did," Ryoga said, slightly confused. "I had nightmares quite a lot"
The Doctor shifted. "But these nightmares follow a continuous pattern. You have recurring dreams and
wake up every night at exactly the same time." He paused for emphasis. "_Exactly_ the same time." He
grinned. "Frankly, that makes you a very interesting person as far as science is concerned."
"What do you mean?"
The Doctor resisted the urge to bash his head against the wall. "To make it clear, we want to study
you more, while you are sleeping and try to see happens. You know, maybe record them, take neural
impulse readings and such like ..."
"No." Ryoga stood up. "I don't want people poking around in my subconscious mind just to find out
why I have bad dreams. I'll cope with it back at home."
The Doctor nodded his understanding. "How about we do a compromise?"
Ryoga looked at him suspiciously. "What kind of compromise?"
"We let you go home. Physically, you're perfectly fine, although only god knows how. We'll give you
some anti-depressants to cope with the shock."
"And?" Ryoga prompted.
"And, if you keep having all these recurring dreams, waking up at the same time each night or if you
start sleepwalking or something..."
"Sleepwalking?!!"
The Doctor nodded. "Sleepwalking. It's possible that the stress could make you sleepwalk. Which,
given your sense of direction, could be a bit dangerous." He paused again. "There is a chance that
you even start going through motions in your sleep too - like training, or cooking. But there's also
a chance you could hurt yourself if you're left unsupervised."
Ryoga thought for a second. "I think I choose going home." He stood up and walked to the door "I'll
come back if there's any problems though."
"Ryoga, your room's _that_ way."
"I knew that," he lied, turning and walking away, surprisingly enough, in the correct direction. The
Doctor groaned and took some pills out of his desk draw. "It's a pity we can't do anything about
your infernal sense of direction," he muttered to himself, swallowing two of the pills. *I hate to
discharge you so soon, but after you walked in on three of the nurses while they were bathing,
they've threatened to quit and we can't afford to lose any more staff now.*

Kodachi was pissed off. She lit the candles again and started chanting. It had been over a week
since she'd decided to carry out the most drastic plan ever to ensnare her beloved Ranma, and the
only interesting thing that had happened so far was that Hibiki and a young girl had been hit by a
tanker. That was all well and good, in Kodachi's opinion - if Hibiki was an obstacle, then it served
him right. Pity the girl had to die. But surely the demons should be killing the Kuonji girl, the
ramen witch and the awful Tendo girl too? After all, they were far more dangerous, in her opinion.
Well, she wanted an explanation as to why she still didn't have Ranma, and she wanted an explanation
now.
Satan appeared in a puff of evil-smelling smoke. "What the heck d'ya want now, Toots?" he growled.
Kodachi tried to look calm. "I asked for Ranma Darling to fall for me, and for anyone who interfered
to die. Why isn't that happening?"
Satan looked surprised. "Oh, sorry." He whipped out a mobile phone and dialled a few numbers. "Hey,
what�s the deal on the Kuno case? We've had complaints. <pause> Amityville demons? <pause> But those
guys are supposed to be the best. <pause> Well, what's the point of taking out Hibiki, the biggest
threat in all this, if you're just gonna torment him for a week?!! I don't care if it's fun! <pause>
Take out the others too. Then you're gonna have to deal with Hibiki again. <pause> Of course he
isn't dead, you moron! You think a measly little tanker could bring the guy down?!! Hell, this guy
could survive the Blitz!!! <pause> You'd better, buster. Or heads will roll.!" He hung up and wiped
his brow. "Sorry about the delay Miss Kuno. The Amityville demons were having such fun tormenting
Hibiki that they forgot the rest of the case. The rest of your rivals will be taken out as soon as
possible, then we'll work on making Saotome fall for you."
Kodachi smiled. "Why, thank you." *Ranma Darling, soon you will be mine!!!!!*

"Hey, Skuld!!" Urd looked around for her younger sister. "Skuld?" She sighed. *Where the heck are
you, you little brat?!!*
Skuld poked her head out of her bedroom doorway. "What do you want, Urd?"
Urd put on her best sincere look. "Guess what? The Almighty has a job for you!"
The younger goddess blinked. "For me? What is it?" Then she narrowed her eyes. "This is a trick of
some sort, isn't it?"
Urd looked hurt. "Of course it isn't! It's just, Belldandy is busy here with Keiichi, and I busy
keeping an eye out for Mara, and you're the best girl for the job!"
*Keeping an eye out for Mara? You just don't wanna do whatever it is!* Skuld decided to play along
for a little while. "So what do I have to do?"
"Well, have you ever heard of a place called Nerima?"
"No."
Urd settled down to outline the mission. "Well, a girl lives there called Kodachi Kuno. She recently
summoned the Devil ..."
"What the heck did she go and do _that_ for?!!" Skuld never understood why people were willing to
sell their souls to evil forces.
"Would you let me finish?!!" Urd snapped irritably. "She wanted some guy called Ranma Saotome to
fall in love with her, and for anyone who interfered to be killed." She paused. "There's a guy who
lives in the same area, called Ryoga Hibiki..."
"Oh, _I_ see!" Skuld jumped to her feet. "He's the one, isn't he? And you want me to train him!" She
crossed her arms. "Well, I ain't gonna do it! I have bugs to zap!!"
Urd looked pleadingly at her. "But you're the best! You're the only one with the right technology!
And they're Amityville demons!! And your Mister Bug Zapper works fine!"
Skuld paused. "Amityville demons? They're here?!!" Urd nodded. Skuld sighed. "All right. But only
because they destroyed my Super Lesser Demon Zapper Mark 1."
Urd grinned. "Well, you're the best, sis! I've already run a bath for you to move through!"
"You've been planning this, haven't you?"
