Why do I hate Akane, lemme count the ways. 1? How about...

We're Off to See the Wizard!

Bweee!

Quack quack!

A duck carrying a pig frantically flew into the room, calling Ranma's attention. He had no time to say anything however when...

*Crash!*

...a glowing red figure broke down the heavy wooden door and entered the room.

"Akane?!" Ranma shouted in surprise as he backed away from Happosai's battered body.

Akane was equally shocked. "Ranma?! You're the Wicked Pervert of the West?!"

"What? No!"

"I should've known," she growled as she started to twist a ruby bokken that she held in her hand, "after the dojo landed on Kuno." Her grip tightened and a loud crack filled the air.

"You don't understand!"

"Oh yes I do," the blue haired girl growled as she pulled a pail of cold water from out of nowhere and held it above her head as she prepared to throw it.

Ranma immediately ran for the stairs. Hopefully he could escape by climbing higher...

...It's too bad that only works on mosquitoes.

"Get back here you pervert!"

-o-o-o-o-o-

The wind rustled as Ranma slowly backed away from the crazy girl. They were currently at the very topmost point of the castle. In other words, Ranma was on the flat stone roof of a tower as dark clouds stormed overhead.

When his foot hit a wall, he chanced a look behind him. Left with no other choice, he jumped...

Akane stood shock still for several seconds before a holler of fury filled the air.

-o-o-o-o-o-

As Akane stomped downstairs, a veritable storm of water unexpectedly flew into her face. She started coughing and sputtering.

Ayumu Kasuga slowly lowered the small metal pail as she watched in confusion as the girl in front of her start flailing. And then her head tilted to the side as she blankly watched the other girl begin choking herself. After several moments of this, the other girl started shouting "help help" before flailing and choking herself some more.

When Akane finally collapsed, blue in the face, Osaka dropped the pail in her hands before crossing her arms and lowering her head to think about what had just happened.

She finally slapped one fist into the palm of her hand as inspiration dawned. "Witches don't melt with water."

Happy that that mystery was solved, and that the evil witch had been stopped, she bent down to pick up a cracked ruby bokken before turning around and leaving the moldy castle. Along the way, she started humming an off-tune rendition of "We're off to see the Wizard," as she followed the yellow brick road.

Eh, I'm just taking advantage of Akane's likelihood to drown and making the threat puddle-sized. Of course, Akane didn't really drown, but she was under the impression that she was drowning because the water totally surprised her. Her imagination and inability to accept the truth did the rest.

Osaka is the type who would throw water at anyone she thinks is a witch, especially if she realized she was smack dab in the Wizard of Oz scenery. Just to see it happen, y'know?

I couldn't help putting Osaka into the story. Her appearance was provoked by the AMV that I saw some time ago, the Wizard of Ozaka. You can find it on Youtube.

The idea from this story comes from:
