STALLION

Chapter 11.




Part 1




< The Little House of Horror... well... maybe more like Chaos... >




After an attempted grand-petricide, the Masaki Mansion had quieted down somewhat.  But the tension was still too thick enough to cut, as Ranma continued to glare at his now sweating grandfather.

"I HATE YOU."

"......"

Akane fumed mildly at her still sulking fiance.  "Ranma!  Don't be so rude to your grandfather!"

"But you heard him too, Akane!!  He's the reason why mom got such a weird idea of manliness!!  You think I should give him a break?!  Give ME a break!!"

"Cut that out, Ranma!  It's true your grandfather was so careless with his words..."

A dagger, although imaginary but still as painful as the real one, appeared and stabbed Katsuhito's back.

"...and came up with that stupid idea for an excuse as the explanation of a pervert for a small child..."

Another dagger went through the old priest's back.

"...not to mention to his own child, a girl at that..."

Katsuhito's shoulders slumped down as his back now had multiple daggers appearing on it.

"...but he just made a mistake!  He is your grandfather!  Show some respect to him..."

Katsuhito's face cheered a bit hearing Akane's words......

"...how big of a failure of a father he might be!"

Bam!

......but it was soon embedded on the floor as a large spear skewered through him now.

Akane nervously smiled as she scratched her head.  "Eh... that didn't come out right....."

Washu smirked.  "Don't worry, Akane-dono.  You didn't say anything wrong."

"Eh......"

Ranma also smirked as he watched his grandfather slowly turning into a moldy lump on the floor.  "Yeah, I competely agree with you, Akane.  I must give him some respect, how big of a FAILURE he might be."

"Ranma!"

The couple argued again, while Mayuka and Mihoshi were poking at the wasted Katsuhito with a stick.  "Is great-grandpa dead?"

"I don't know, Mayuka-chan.  He does seem to be breathing..."

"......"

Washu continued to smirk as she enjoyed watching Katsuhito so down on himself.  'Boy, today has been such an entertaining day for me.  I can't wait to see what happens next.'

"Washu-CHAN?"

"Huh?"  Washu looked up to see Tenchi smiling down at her.  It was a kind of smile that clearly said "I want something from you and I'll give up my liver and kidneys for it."

Washu thought, amused.  'Hmm, it seems that I don't have to wait that long.  You are so easy to see through, Tenchi-dono.  I must give you some lessons on how to ask for a favor... later.  Much later.'

Washu then smiled as she asked him.  "What can I do for you, Tenchi-dono?"

Tenchi flinched briefly.  Somehow he couldn't shake the feelings that he was being seen through.  'But I have to do this.  I promised to Auntie Nodoka...'  "Um, can we talk in private?"

Suddenly Washu clung to Tenchi's arm, smiling happily.  "Oh so THAT's what you want!  Don't worry, Tenchi-dono.  My lab is only steps away, and NO ONE will bother us there!"

Tenchi sweatdropped and replied nervously.  "Eh... not THAT private...  Let's just go somewhere quiet... like the kitchen?"



"So... let me get this straight.  Ranma-dono seems to have lost some memory regarding Yosho-sama and Achika-sama?"

Tenchi nodded his head.  "Uh-huh."

"And you want me to examine him to make sure that there isn't anything wrong with him?"

He nodded again.  "Uh-huh."

"That sounds like a fun!  I'll really enjoy this!"

This time, he shook his head.  "Uh-uh."

"Eh?  What do you mean?"

Tenchi grabbed Washu's shoulders with a smile that was somehow... forced.  "Listen carefully, Washu-CHAN.  Ranma is my cousin.  My very, very precious cousin.  He is my favorite aunt's son, and my dear departed mom's nephew."

"Okay... what are you getting at?"  Washu asked with a curious look on her face.  Then she was surprised when Tenchi did his version of demon-head.

"YOU MUST PROMISE ME THAT YOU WON'T DO ANY EXPERIMENT ON HIM LIKE YOU DO WITH ME!"

"Eh???  Then where's the fun in that?"  Washu, disappointed, mildly protested.

"THIS ISN'T FOR YOUR FUN!!!"

"But!"

"PROMISE ME!!"

Washu sighed, defeated.  It wasn't that Washu was scared of Tenchi.  Nothing short of Apocalypse could possibly make her even flinch.  Well... maybe Mihoshi in her lab.  Anyway, she knew she would have to give in this time since Tenchi was being so insistent on it.  He rarely forced anything on anybody, but whenever he made a decision, he sticked by it.

However, Washu would never back down quietly on anything.  She grinned as she answered back.  "Okay...  I'll do it."

"So you promise?  No weird experiment?  No more dangerous test?"

"Yes, yes.  I promise."

"Really?!?!?"

"Really."

Tenchi sighed in relief.  "Thank you, Washu-chan.  I really owe you this time."

Before he could turn away, Washu's voice stopped him.  "Wait.  I didn't say I'd do it without a condition."

"Huh?  What do you mean?"

Now it was Tenchi's turn to be surprised as Washu had a mean grin on her face.  "Why so surprised?  You didn't think you could get this favor out of me for free, did you?"

"Um... yes..."

"Oh really?  And why would I do that?"

Tenchi put on his most innocent-looking look on his face as he hopefully replied.  "Because you are also the most kind and caring scientist in the universe?"

Washu smirked at his rather pathetic attempt to flatter herself.  "Gotta do better than that, Tenchi-dono."

"Eh......"

"Now, as the greatest genius in the universe, my fee is rather... expensive. If I cannot have my fun in one way or other, what motivation would I have for doing this favor for you, hmm?"  Washu was laughing out inside when she saw Tenchi's face turning pale.  'He is so gullible.'

"Um... what can I do for you then?"  Tenchi sweatdropped as he answered.  Somehow he knew that he would pay for this, REALLY pay for this.

"Well, I'll tell you later.  But there is just one more thing... about this experiment..."



Crash!

"Oops!  How clumpsy of me.  I spilled some tea on the floor.  Ranma, could you go and get me the mop?  It's in the broom closet near the stair."

"Huh?  Me?"  Ranma pointed at himself, bewildered.  'Why me?  I am the guest here.  And... why does Ten-chan look so nervous?'

"Yes.  You, Ranmachan.  Please?"  If Tenchi could see himself right now, he would know why he could never win the Academy Award for acting.

"Um... okay..."  Of course, if Ranma could THINK more carefully right now, he would know why he could never win ANY prize that requires intelligence......

The others in the living room just blinked.  They knew something was fishy here.  Aside from Tenchi's bad acting, they knew fully well that he would never tell anyone else to do something for him.  He was the type of a person who would try to do everything by himself.  Not being able to hold back her curiosity, Sasami opened her mouth to inquire.  "But Tenchi-niichan, we don't have a broom closet.  It's now Wa...... mmmmmmm?"

Ranma dumbly stared at his cousin who now had this dubious smile on the face, while the hand was still covering Sasami's mouth.  He couldn't help but to feel rather uneasy about Tenchi's actions.  However he just shrugged it off.  'What could possibly be in that closet that could hurt me?'

But when he stood in front of the closet door, the sense of doom returned.  Ranma couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he felt like he saw the same door before.  'Now, where did I see this thing before?'

Ranma DID see the same door before.  It was the same one that Washu dragged him through to her lab, where he went through that water test(?).  But the experience was rather fast and painful so much that his mind couldn't quite registered exactly what had happened.  The vague feeling of fear was all that was left.

Saotome Ranma was never a coward.  But in this situation he couldn't shake off the feeling that he was walking into a trap.  Although he rarely acted so careful, he slowly reached for the doorknob.  He then carefully opened door slightly, and quietly peeked inside.

Inside, there were nothing more than a few brooms and a mop.

Ranma blinked.  'Now THAT was a disappointment...'

Ranma sighed in both relief and regret.  It was foolish of him to expect something dangerous would pop out of a broom closet, he guessed.  He dropped his guard completely and put his hand inside to grab the mop.

Wieeeeeeee...

"Huh?"  Ranma was mildly surprised when he heard some kind of small mechanical sound.  Then he was shocked out of his reverie when a pair of gigantic machine arms bursted out of the closet and wrapped him up.

"Ohohohohohohoh!  You fell for it, Ranma-dono!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaackk!!!!"

That was the last word of Ranma before he was sucked into the closet by the machine arms.  Everyone dumbly stared at the closet door which slammed shut after, and made a burping noise.  Silence lasted for about a minute, before Akane opened her mouth.  "Um, Washu-san, right?"

Tenchi hung his head in shame.  "Uh-huh."

"Wait to go, Tenchi!  You completely fooled him!"  Ryoko hit his back playfully, although it seemed rather painful for Tenchi.

Ayeka asked Tenchi, still confused.  "Um, but why did you do such a thing?  I thought you didn't want Saotome-san to go through any more experiments?"

"Well, it's like this......"



Inside the lab.

"Help!  Help!  Ten-chan!  Minagi-san!  Akane!  Sasami-chan!   Grandpa!!!"

"No use, Ranma-dono!  Be quiet and face it like a man!  Like a guinea pig man, that is!  Ohohohohohohoh!"

"Noooooooooooooooooo!!!"



"So you mean she is just doing a simple physical, like she did with the rest of us before?"  Sasami spoke.

"Yes..."  Tenchi replied, his head still down.

"Um, then why didn't you just ask him?  I am sure Ranma-niichan wouldn't object that much..."  Then Sasami pondered.  'Of course, he might refuse since he already went through Washu-chan's tests once...'

"Well, it wasn't my idea.  It was Washu's idea, actually."

"Huh?  It is?  Why though?"

Tenchi lowered his head even more.  "She said... "it's more fun this way...""

Everyone around him just rolled their eyes.  'It figures.'

But Akane wasn't all that relieved, as she nervoulsy asked Tenchi.  "But, but she wouldn't hurt him, would she?"

Everyone went silent.

Ayeka was the first to speak, albeit hesitating.  "She, she wouldn't of course.  She is not some kind of monster.  She might be eccentric..."

Ryoko cut it suddenly.  "Eccentric?  Full out-grown lunacy is more like it."

It was Mihoshi's turn to panic.  "Oh no!  And we only met Ranma-san today!  It's so sad!"

Kiyone sweatdropped at her partner's comment.  "She is not gonna kill him, you know."

"But, but surely Washu-san isn't all THAT bad, is she?"  Minagi nervously said her mind, trying to depend her mother, so to speak.

The room was silent once again, before everyone in the Masaki Mansion hung their head helplessly.  'SHE IS!'

But not all was lost in hopelessness, as Sasami stood up eagerly.  "We have to stop her right now!  Even for a joke, this is too mean!"

"Wait, Sasami-chan!  I'll go with you!"  Akane quickly followed after Sasami who stomped towards the closet door.

The rest, including the reluctant Nobuyuki, slowly stood up and followed them, although half-heartedly.  Soon, only ones left in the living room were the still-out-of-it Katsuhito and Minagi, who had a big bead of sweat running down her head.

"I, I really don't think she's really THAT bad......"



"Washu-chan?  Where are you, Washu-chan?"

"Ranma?  Ranma, can you hear me?"

Sasami and Akane desparately searched for the two, while the rest just nervously walked after them.  The lab was surprisingly quiet though, giving them no clue of the two's whereabouts.

Ryoko pondered out loud.  "It's weird.  It's TOO quiet.  I don't like it..."

Ayeka nodded.  "You are right.  If Washu-san was doing any experiment on Saotome-san, this lab would be shaking with his scream right about now."

"Um, did I ever scream that loud?"  Tenchi sweatdropped and asked, but nobody answered him.

"No, no way... but..."

Everyone looked at now panicking Mihoshi, who kept mumbling in fear.  "...can't be, right?  She wouldn't, would she?"

"What are you talking about, Mihoshi?  Out with it already!"  The agitated Kiyone scowled at her partner.

Mihoshi nervously continued.  "...you don't suppose... she already finished him off... and did away with his body... do you?"

Bam!

After such a hard facefault, it was rather hard for everyone to even stand up again.  Showing some super-human strength, however, Kiyone stood up really fast and yelled at Mihoshi's face.  "SHE'S NOT AN AXE MURDERER!!  SHE'S JUST A SADISTIC MANIAC!!"

"Waaaaaah!  You are scaring me, Kiyone!"

"Who's a sadistic maniac?"

Kiyone was frozen like a statue when she heard Washu's voice coming from behind her.  Everyone turned around and saw Washu and Ranma, who was lying silently on a bed floating right behind the pink-haired girl.

"Ranma!"  Akane ran up to the bed hurriedly.  She sighed in relief when she saw that Ranma was just sleeping.  She couldn't help but to feel rather annoyed to see him asleep though.  'Here I was worried about him, and he's sleeping!!  I'm gonna mallet him REALLY HARD when we get home...'

All the while Sasami was saying her protest to Washu.  "How could you, Washu-chan?  It was so mean, scaring him like that!  I know it was meant to be a joke, but it was too cruel!  You are not supposed to make us worry like that!"

"Sorry."

"Eh?"  Sasami blinked in surprise.  Washu had just casually apologized without any excuse or explanation.  She had said it so... so easily.

Everyone dumbly stared at Washu.  'What gives?'

"Tenchi-dono, can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Huh?"  Tenchi was surprised when Washu turned her attention to him.  He was surprised even more when the rest of the people around him quickly edged away from him.  "Eh?  Eh?"

But Washu kept her calm, as she spoke again.  "Let's go somewhere quiet.  There is something I must tell you."

"Eh?"  Tenchi kept blinking in confusion, and dumbly stood there while watching Washu walking off.  She stopped briefly to look at him again.  "Um, okay.  I'm coming..."  'What's with her serious expression?'

Tenchi was about to walk away when he felt a hand on his shoulder.  He turned around to see Nobuyuki's grim face right up to his own.  "Wha, what, pop?"

"Tenchi...  I was always proud of you as my son.  Face your doom like a man."

Bam!

Nobuyuki's face was now embedded on the floor, thanks to a big tanuki(raccoon) statue standing on the back of his head.  Tenchi sweatdropped and quickly walked away toward Washu, who had stopped again with an annoyed look on her face.  "I'm coming, I'm coming!"

The rest gathered around and dumbly stared at now out-cold Nobuyuki.  'He had that coming.'



"Eh, what's wrong, Washu-chan?  You look really serious."

"......"

Washu kept her silence despite Tenchi's question.  Somehow Tenchi felt a bit awkward in the silence.  He scratched his head nervously while trying to draw Washu's attention.  "Ah come on!  What's wrong?  You look like as if you are about to tell there is something seriously wrong with Ranma..."

"How did you know?"

"Yeah, yeah.  That is...... eh?"  Tenchi blinked.  "What... did I know?"

Washu, still with her grim face, continued.  "How did you know there was something wrong with your cousin?"

"Huh?!?"  The shock was clear on Tenchi's face.  He grabbed and shook Washu's shoulders out of hurry.  "What do you mean?!  What's wrong with Ranma?!?  Tell me, Washu, tell me!!!"

Bonk!

"I would if you'd STOP shaking me!!!"

"I am... sorry..."  Tenchi managed to apologize even after such a hard hit.  He rubbed his head which was still thriving with pain.

Washu hmphed mildly before turning back to her serious face.  "Tenchi-dono, listen carefully."

Tenchi gulped and nodded his head.  "Okay.  I'll listen."

"There is something wrong with your cousin."

"Okay......"

The silence lasted for a while.  Soon a bead of sweat formed on Tenchi's head.

"......and?"

"And what?"

"What is exactly wrong with Ranma?"

"I don't know."

Tenchi suddenly felt the great urge to go out and mop people down with a machine gun.  With his super-human strength he suppressed that urge, and asked Washu again.  "Then why do you think there is something wrong with Ranma?"

"Because he has lost some memory."

"THAT WAS WHY I ASKED YOU TO EXAMINE HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!"

Washu blinked her eyes.  "Oh, you are right."

"Why you..."

If he was a normal person he would have dared to choke Washu right about now.  Of course, that would have meant the serious damage on his part since he would be going up against the greatest and the craziest genius in the universe.  Fortunately Tenchi was a kind and gentle person.  He managed to restrain his trembling fingers away from the neck of the pink-haired girl.  His eyebrow was continously twitching though.  He might live longer thanks to his intelligence, but he wouldn't live that long due to his held-back stress level.

Not even feeling threatened, Washu continued her explanation.  "I was teasing with him at first, but I found something strange in his head.  So I sedated him and did some scanning on his brain."

'Now that's more like an explanation I was looking for...'  Tenchi let go of his anger somewhat.  Then he blinked in mild surprise.  "You sedated him?  You DO sedate your test subject?  How come I was never sedated before then?"

"Oh you DID want to be sedated?"

"...never mind."  Tenchi shuddered briefly as he imagined what would be like if Washu put him in sleep during her experiments.  'I wouldn't know what she might do to me...'

"It's okay, Tenchi-dono.  It works really well!  Well, Ranma-dono seemed to have some imunity against this method though.  You don't know how many times I had to use it."

Tenchi sweatdropped when he saw Washu swinging a small pink mallet a couple of times.(1)  'No sedation, definitely.'

Washu put away her mallet in her hyperspace pocket and continued to explain. "I found out that some of Ranma-dono's brain cells... no, make that some parts of his brain, don't react at all to any outside signal.  It would cause some blockage between the information flow within, and ultimately seemingly loss of certain portions of stored datas or events."

Tenchi blinked.  "Um, can you repeat that?  Biology is NOT my best subject."(2)

"*sigh* Some of his memory cells are not working.  That's why he can't remember some of his past."

Tenchi's face brightened with understanding, but it soon turned pale.  "You, you mean he has some brain damage?!?"

Washu shrugged her shoulders.  "Sort of, but not exactly."

"Eh?  What do you mean by "not exactly?""

"Well, if he had some accident and hurt his head in the process, then he would have had the brain damage.  In this case, some brian cells would be dead, or the neurons between the cells would be cut off, causing the memory loss.  But it's not the case this time.  His brain cells are fine.  It's alive and kicking, and none of the nerves was either cut or damaged.  In physical sense, his brain is in perfect condition."

Tenchi frowned a little.  "Then is there any possibility of..."

"Mental problem?  Not likely.  If that was the case the individual brain cell would still react to the outside shock that I had given.  Even if this was due to a traumatic experience he had suffered, his brain cells should still work.  But even when I applied small electric shock on them, none of these sleeping cells reacted.  In other words, this isn't because of some kind of normal brain damage, either in physical sense, or in mental sense."

"......"  Tenchi was speechless.  He didn't quite understand Washu one hundred percent, but he understood enough to realize that there was some mysterious problem that had caused Ranma to lose some of his memory.  If the greatest scientist couldn't find out the reason, then who could?  Tenchi was at loss.  '...wait.  Electric shock?  Brain cells?  No way...'

"Um, Washu-CHAN.  You didn't happen to... dissect Ranma or anything... did you?"

"Eh......"

Tenchi was ready to explode when he saw Washu flinch a little.  "WASHU-CHAN!!!"

"Aaaaah!  But it was necessary!  I couldn't help it!  I was doing it for him!  Beside, I sealed him up real good!"

Tenchi was about to yell some more, when he heard frantic cry of Sasami.  "Aaaaaaaack!  Ranma-niichan's head is bleeding!!"(3)

Akane's voice soon followed.  "Somebody go get some tissue!  No, make that a towel!"

Ryoko's calm but trembling voice was also heard.  "Wow, it's like watching a tiny geiser."

"You are not helping, Ryoko-san!"  Ayeka was shouting along with them.  "You gotta do something or he will die!"

"I knew this would happen!  That Washu!  ...where are you going, Mihoshi?"

"Oh I'm just going to get the medical box, Kiyone.  Don't worry.  I'll nurse him myself.  He'll be fine in no time."

"NO!!!"  The lab shook with the amazingly loud yell by everyone present.(4)
