"J. D. Farber" This is my first post to RAAC. And it just happens to be a darkfic. Doom on you, JD! Anyway, don't read if you don't like darkfics. BTW, don't be looking for MPS just because it says lemon. If you want that, go read Lemon Sherbert. Right now, there is only one lemon scene, and it's not very erotic. This is written in a rather strange way. Just bear with me, and I promise to (kill all the Ranma characters in grotesque manners!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! [That was a joke!]) get back to writing regularly soon enough. Disclaimers: I do not own Mage, Ranma, or Coca Cola. Ranma and Mage are used in this story without their permission. Coca Cola isn't used in this story at all, but it tastes better then Pepsi, another thing that I don't own and isn't used in this story. And no, Diet Dr. Pepper does not taste more like regular Dr. Pepper. And now, on with the story... ************************************* Ranma 1/2 Awakenings and Journeys Prologue: This is The End, Beautiful Friend She could hear things going on outside of her. She heard voices calling to her, but she didn't want to answer. If she answered, she would have to wake up. And to do that would mean that she would have to remember. Nabiki started to cry in her coma, and Akane and Ranma just looked at each other despairingly. *********************** ONE HOUR AGO... It was such a beautiful day outside. Nabiki was walking home from school, and taking her time. She looked around, seeing how blue the sky was, and how warm the sun felt on her face. She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice the man walk up behind her until he grabbed her. And by that time, it was too late. *********************** THE PRESENT... Nabiki's eyes shot open as her mind tormented her with the images of what had happened. Akane and Ranma took this as a sign of her waking up, and rushed over to her bedside. Her eyes, however, remained glazed over, not seeing her sister's agonized look, nor Ranma's worried gaze. "Nabiki, come back to me. You have to tell us what happened. Were you in a fight? Are you hurt? What happened, Oneechan? Please, don't leave me." Akane started sobbing into Ranma's shoulder, her cries racking throughout her entire body. Ranma said nothing, just held the girl as she cried. Nabiki didn't move *********************** ONE HOUR AGO... The man had come up from behind her and grabbed her by the waist. He slapped a hand across her mouth and pulled her into an abandoned storefront. He let her go and pulled out a gun. Nabiki whirled around to start yelling at him, but all of her protests died in her throat when she saw the weapon pointed at her. "What do you want?" Nabiki asked, trying not to let the fear slip into her voice. She also took an opportunity to study the man. He looked to be in his early twenties, but his eyes seemed older. And evil. "Well, pretty, welcome to the Dark Side. But first..." The man leered at Nabiki as he reached for her. Nabiki screamed in terror, but no one seemed to hear. *********************** THE PRESENT... Nabiki started to scream as she relived this part of her memory. Akane stared at her sister with horror as Nabiki started seizing up, bile and froth coming out of her mouth. Ranma ran out of the room and shouted for a doctor. *********************** ONE HOUR AGO... The man reached out and grabbed Nabiki by the shoulder straps of her school jumper. Nabiki tried to twist and wrench out of his grasp, but only succeeded in tearing her jumper. The dress hung limply by the one remaining strap, and the man had still not reliquished his hold. He grabbed the other strap and gave a violent yank. The jumper fell away in tatters. Nabiki froze as jumper hit the ground. she thought numbly as the man ripped her blouse off. Standing there in her bra and panties, she idly thought about nothing. The man saw the vapid look in her eyes and smiled cruelly. The man aimed the gun at Nabiki's crotch and tore off her bra. As he stood there, licking and biting her nipples, her mind froze from the shock. She knew what was going on, but denied all of it. She didn't move as he tore off her panties, didn't respond when he started moving the barrel of the gun in and out of her sheath. It wan't until she felt him penetrate her with his manhood, and thrust past her virginity that she started crying. The man slapped her across the face, yelling at her to shut up. Nabiki quieted, but with every inward thrust, she whimpered. As he orgasmed, he pulled out and let his semen fly all over Nabiki's body, completely humiliating her. *********************** THE PRESENT... The doctor rushed into the room. He was a young man, looking no older then twenty three. His shoulder length black hair framed his aristocratic British face perfectly. He was dressed entirely in black, save for his white lab coat. He took one look at the siezing girl, and muttered various curses in English. The doctor leaned over, and gently put a hand on Nabiki's forehead. The seizing stopped, and her head lolled over to gaze past the doctor. Nabiki's eyes shifted their focus to the doctor, and she smiled. Then she went catatonic again. *********************** ONE HOUR AGO... The man left Nabiki laying on the ground as he pulled up his pants. He looked over at the traumatized girl, and yelled "Get up. My masters have some big plans for you, Nabiki Tendo." Nabiki lay still. "My masters may have plans for you, but you are not unique. We can find someone else. Now GET UP!" the man shouted again. Nabiki did not move. "Fine. Have it your way, bitch." Nabiki heard the man cock the gun. She saw him aim it at her. She heard the report as he pulled the trigger. She felt pressure on her chest, and then a great release as the bullet made it's way to her heart. Heard another report, this time farther away, and felt yet another pressure on her chest, this time over her lung. As the bullets pierced her body, she felt her mind explode in a miasma of awareness. The man turned and left. Nabiki lay there for almost a minute before a different man ran in. He was dressed in all black, with a black trenchcoat, and black hair that framed an aristocratic British face elegantly. He took off his coat and wrapped Nabiki in it. He noted that the bullet wounds weren't serious. Luckily, the bullets had both bounced off ribs, so they were really nothing more then flesh wounds. The man smiled wryly at that thought, picked up Nabiki, and made his way to the nearest hospital. "Don't worry, Ms. Tendo. I'm a doctor. My name is Timothy. Timothy..." *********************** THE PRESENT... "...Black. Doctor Timothy Black. I'm going to be Tendo Nabiki's doctor for the duration of her stay." Dr. Black said with a slight Scottish accent. "Right now she needs her rest. I'll be staying here until she wakes up. But right now, I'm going to need to be alone with her. If you'll please wait in the hallway, I'm going to try and pull her out of her coma." Akane's shoulders slumped as she walked out of the room. Ranma hung back for a moment, waiting for Akane to leave. As soon as she was out of earshot, Ranma turned to the doctor and looked him dead in the eyes. "Doctor, if anything happens to Nabiki, and I found out that you had a hand in it, I will kill you, I swear on my ancestors." Ranma glared for a little longer at the doctor, before turning to join Akane in the waiting room. The doctor sighed. "That went well." Timothy sighed sarcastically.
