Dark, so dark, not even a pinprick of light was in this place. She blindly sought out her way as she tried to seek something familiar. Without knowing, she realized she could see more and what she had been travelling in was a tunnel a very huge and long tunnel. She felt moisture around her knees and saw mist, mist that was beginning to rise higher and higher. She ran, faster and faster until she colided with something, something warm hard in some places and soft in others, she heard a muffled oof and then an annoyed voice say "Ow, jeez tomboy, ya could've hurt somebody." She looked up and saw the concerned face of her fiancee, Ranma Saotome. He smiled at her, bent and offered a hand to help her up. She smiled in gratitude and got up using his hand as support and then hugged him, so hard he heard a muffled "oof!". "Oi, Akane you're acting like we haven't seen each other in years."he said, his eyes twinkling in amusement. She merely burried her head in his shirt and wept s!
ilently. Ranma's features softened as he began to lightly caress her hair. "I'm sorry Akane, that was a bad joke. I'll never leave you again, I promise, we'll be together always." He said as he opened his mouth and revealed fangs, "from now till eternity^�." He murmured as he sank his teeth into Akane's neck.
Akane woke up screaming, her heart pounded against her chest as she reminded herself that it was just a dream^� wasn't it?

Act 2b: Dance of the dead
Akane went to school as always, coming to Tokyo University ten minutes earlier than the first bell so that she could prepare for her first class, at least, that's what she usually does. The events and the dream last night however made her somewhat distracted. Thus, when someone touched her on the shoulder, she screamed and jumped from her seat. "Whoa, steady there princess, you look like you've seen a ghost." Tetsuya remarked; grinning from ear to ear like the proverbial cat that ate the canary. "Tetsu-kun, you startled me. I watched a scary movie last night and it still reverberates in my head I guess." she replied, smiling, thinking that if she told him the truth he'd just laugh it off and call her silly. Tetsuya smiled and shook his head, hiding the joy he felt on being called by such an intimate moniker. "Well, I guess I'll leave you to your thoughts for a while, I still have to work on Professor Izuma's assignment." He waved to her as he walked back to his desk. !
Unknown to them a pair of eyes monitored their every movement.
