Chapter Fourteen
Hunter and the Hunted

"Ah. Belldandy, wasn't it?"
The girl nodded. "Is this where Ranma was hurt the other night?" she asked.
Chief Ido nodded. Belldandy looked about, taking in the destroyed restaurant.
"Are you looking for the guardian?" she asked.
"The what?"
"The shadow creature that attacked Yohko here, and again the next day on campus."
"The demon?" Chief Ido replied. "Yes. I was hoping to find some clues here, to help me track it down."
"Oh, but it's not a demon," Belldandy said. "At least, not exactly...."
"Of course it's a demon!" Yohko exclaimed. "I should know! I'm a devil hunter!"
Belldandy smiled. "Yes, I know. But even you should know that not all demons are evil."
"The proprieter of this establishment is missing, Miss Belldandy, and presumed dead. This demon... or whatever you want to call it... is the prime suspect."
"Oh my!" Belldandy exclaimed. "I hope he isn't hurt! But when I sensed this creature the other night, I felt an incredible sense of anger directed at you, Yohko, but I also sensed... that it had a purpose. That it was guarding something, and that you had done something to interfere with it's duties. I also sensed fear... that a great danger was brewing, and this guardian could not stop it...."
"I haven't interferred with anything," Yohko said, "aside from fighting a rampaging demon that is attacking me and my friends."
"Well, that makes a very interesting tale," Chief Ido said, "but really, Miss Belldandy, how could a young girl like you possibly sense all of that?"
"Oh, I'm not a normal girl," Belldandy said brightly. "I'm a goddess."
"There's a legend," Ido said, "about a demon that was imprisoned her long ago. The librarian told me about it."
"Imprisoned? Where?"
"On this hill," Ido said. "Further up, I think, in a cave. They sealed the cave and placed a shrine before it, and set a guardian to keep the shrine and the seal intact...."

"Chigako! Don't go in, it could be dangerous!"
"I won't go in too far. I just want to check it out."
"Wait for Ranma to show up!"
One girl turned to glare at Ukyo. "Well?" she demanded.
"Well, what?"
"Are you just going to let her go in there alone? You're a guy! Do something!"
Ukyo frowned, then drew her battle spatula. "Right. I'm a guy. Okay," she said, and stepped into the cave.

Miss Hinako entered into the classroom. All chatter ceased as she walked to the front of the room and got up on her special platform. It still wasn't clear to most of the students why their teacher appeared to be a five year old girl, but there were some interesting rumors about her. A select few had already witnessed her special martial arts abilities in action against the school's ultimate delinquint, Ataru Moroboshi.
Miss Hinako surveyed the room. She cleared her throat.
"Shun Kisaragi?" she asked.
"Yes?" the boy with the long pink hair replied.
"Would you mind telling us," Miss Hinako asked, "why you are dressed in a girl's uniform?"
Everyone glanced at Shun, who this morning wore a white silk blouse, brown vest, ruffled skirt, and short jacket, as did all of the girls at the Academy. In fact, Shun had been a prime topic of conversation before Miss Hinako had arrived.
Shun glanced down at his attire and then back up at the teacher. He smiled sweetly. "It looks okay, doesn't it?
Which, of course, it did. Aside from a rather flat chest, Shun made a prettier girl than a good portion of the school's female population.
"I asked you a question..." Miss Hinako warned.
"Um," Shun said, "it's kind of a long story."
Miss Hinako raised an eyebrow. Shun sighed and added, "Well, you see, I switched uniforms with Ranma Saotome yesterday so that she could pretend to be a guy for her parents. Don't ask me why, but it was her idea."
Miss Hinako glanced back at Ranma.
"Miss Saotome does not appear to be wearing a boy's uniform," the teacher noted.
"Yes. Well, my uniform got shredded when she transformed into her Devil Hunter costume. You remember, the big fight they had yesterday?"
"I heard about it, yes."
"Well, anyway, Principal Ikari promised to replace the uniform, only what got replaced was Ranma's uniform, you see."
Miss Hinako looked at Ranma and back at Shun.
"So, am I to take it that the only school uniform you have is the one Ranma had lent you previously?"
"At the moment, yes."
Miss Hinako sighed.
"And you chose to wear a girl's uniform to class, rather than normal clothing?"
"You can be expelled for not wearing a uniform to school," Shun replied. "You made that point with Miss Ayeka only yesterday."
"Yes, but...."
"The rules are less specific about whether a boy can wear a girl's uniform, or vice versa," Shun added.
Miss Hinako rubbed her temples.
"Yes, yes," she said. "Miss Utena Tenjou has already spelled that out for us." She glanced at the other pink-haired student in the room, a girl dressed in a boy's nehru-collared jacket and black biker shorts. "But I must say that in this particular case, I do not think adhering to the letter of the law was necessarily the best choice. Boys are not meant to wear skirts, Shun; it makes you seem like a delinquent, or worse. Please see to it that you get a uniform of the correct gender soon."
"I certainly plan on it," Shun said.
