Akane set off to search for Ukyou. She knew Ukyou had probably seen what had happened, and may have been off after Ranma. Ukyou would do that. She would want to know who and why. As she searched the streets, she tightened her resolve not to return to the alley where she found Ranma. She absolutely refused to. But in the end, she found she had to. There was no sign of Ukyou at all. There was however, a sign of someone else. "Well, well. Look what we have here, boys." A voice said from the shadows. The leader chuckled. "I think we'll make you have time for this." There was only the leader left.
