Ch 1: Ranma's visitor
"Ranma!" Akane shouted while chasing Ranma around the garden with a huge mallet. Her eyes were sparkling with rage, and her face red with embarrassment.
"Akane! I swear I didn't do it! It was Happosai!" Ranma shouted back, looking over his shoulder at the angry girl.
"Don't lie!" Akane yelled back with more rage.
They were currently running around the Tendo's garden. Akane was chasing Ranma with a mallet bigger than her. And Ranma was running away from Akane trying not to get hit by the mallet.
"HELLO! ANYONE HERE? " A voice shouted from somewhere near the front door. Akane slowed her pace and finally stopped.
She yelled in the direction of the voice, "Yea! We're back here!"
Ranma, very curious to see who it was, since the voice sounded familiar to him, walked to the garden behind the dojo. Her footsteps were heavy from the weight of the yellow backpack on her back, "Hey Ranma-kun!" Kagome greeted happily as she put her huge backpack down.
"Hey I haven't seen you in a long time!" he said grinning, while walking toward her. Ranma was a few feet away from Akane, when she remembered about the 'incident and smacked Ranma in the face that set him sailing into the sky. Kagome was dumbfounded.
"Hello, I'm Tendo, Akane." Akane introduced herself to the visitor.
"Higurashi, Kagome." Kagome said looking at the girl before him.
"Excuse me but why are you here?" Akane asked.
"I'm here to see Ranma." Kagome answered.
'Note to self: Remember to kill Ranma when he gets back.' Akane thought.
Something must have shown on her face, because Kagome asked, "Are you okay?"
Akane sweat dropped and answered in a nervous voice, "I'm fine. Since it's going to take Ranma at least until evening to get back, you should wait inside." Kagome only nodded.
Kagome picked up her yellow backpack, and followed Akane to the living room. She set her backpack down next to the table. Then gazed around Akane's home. Ranma had written to her about Akane's house/dojo. And how he has so many fiancés. Kagome sat down. Akane was in the kitchen making tea. (Scary isn't it?)
"How do you know Ranma? Are you another fiancé?" Akane asked. Kagome while carrying two cups of tea from the kitchen out with her.
"No, I'm not one of his fiancés for one thing. I met him when you knocked him all the way to central Tokyo," Kagome answered cheerfully.
"Oh. I don't remember ever hitting him that far." Akane said while thinking back to all the times she had hit Ranma.
"In that case I'll tell you everything that happened." Kagome said with a smile.
~*~*~*~*~* Flash back~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ranma sailed through the sky as Kagome pulled herself out of the well. It was raining warm water from the gray-clouded sky. Kagome was walking to the house. She was exhausted, because Inu-yasha argued about her going back home when they had the Shichinin-tai to worry about. (Please read AN for explanation) She was only three meters away from the door leading into her house when a boy about her age fell before her. She gasped in shock and was about to run to the house and call an ambulance, when the boy stirred.
He got slowly up, looking curiously at his surroundings. "Where am I?" he asked, as he spotted Kagome.
"You're in my family's shrine in Tokyo," she informed the seemingly lost boy.
"Damn! I usually end up somewhere in Nermia. Akane has outdone herself this time," the boy said, amazed. The rain began to get colder and to Kagome's surprise, there was a fiery red haired girl who looked almost identical to the boy standing in front of her. Kagome nearly screamed, but the boy/girl covered her mouth before a sound was let loose. "Shhhhhh! Don't scream ok? Good. Why don't we get inside first?" he/she said and let go of Kagome. He seemed safe enough so she led the boy/girl toward her home/shrine.
They sat down on the sofa, their wet clothes dampening it. But they didn't care. Both were extremely tired. Ranma-chan crossed her arms against her chest to find that she turned into the girl form.
'No wonder she screamed. She must have seen me turn into a girl!' Ranma became angry and was cursed himself for not realizing it sooner.
"Hey, do you have any hot water?" the boy/girl asked. Kagome nodded, filled a cup with cooled down boiled water and gave it to the boy/girl. He/She dumped the contents over himself/herself and became a boy again.
Kagome sat there speechless her mouth wide open, finally snapping out of the trance she said, "You should change your clothes. There are extra clothes in the closet. I'll go get 'em." Without waiting for an answer she turned around and headed toward the closet. She came back with the same clothes the boy had but they were dry. "These are probably from one of my crazy old uncles that gave them to my brother Sota as a gift. They must have mixed up our ages again. You can change in the bathroom. The second door to the left, on the second floor." she informed Ranma, who only nodded.
He went to the bathroom and changed to the clothes Kagome gave him. Meanwhile, Kagome went to her own room and changed into dry clothes herself. She picked out a semi-dark blue sweater and sky blue mini skirt. She held her wet ones at arms length and walked toward the bathroom.
Ranma stepped out of the room, closed the door, and looked at Kagome. She took Ranma's wet clothes and said, happily, "I'll clean these. Wait for me down stairs for few minutes and then we'll get the introductions done." Ranma nodded, and went downstairs.
After 5 minutes or so Kagome had finished the washing and drying. She entered the living room and handed Ranma his clothes. "I'm Higurashi, Kagome, by the way," Kagome introduced herself.
Ranma did the same, "I'm Saotome, Ranma."
Kagome could no longer hold it in. She asked the question that had nagged her since she saw Ranma's transformation. "How did you do that? I mean change from a boy to a girl?" she asked anxiously.
"Oh, that. Well, I guess it began when I fell into a cursed pond at the 'Grounds of Accursed Springs," Ranma answered. He continued his story after seeing Kagome nod. "I'm a martial artist, heir to the Saotome School of indiscriminate grappling. My father took me on a training trip around China. We went to a training area called the 'Grounds of Accursed Springs.' The training ground had hell 'lot of springs that were cursed. So that when a person falls into one of the springs, they become what the spring was cursed. In my case I fell into the spring of the drowned girl. Now I become a girl every time I get splashed with cold water. I become a boy again when I get splashed with hot water."
After Ranma's story, Kagome was astounded. "That's incredible!" was the only thing she could think to say at the moment.
"Now it's my turn," said Ranma. "Why do you have such a pure aura?" Ranma asked. He had been wondering about that since he had come near her.
Kagome was a bit shocked, but more surprised. 'How can he sense that?' she thought amusedly. After he had told her his story, she thought that he deserved to hear hers too. So she launched into the story about finding the Shikon No Tama and how she accidentally broke it. And finding out that she was the reincarnation of a powerful miko. "Now I have to find all the shards with the help of a hanyou named Inu-yasha, a kitsune cub called Shippo, a youkai taiji, Sango, and a hentai houshi named Miroku." When she finished her story, Ranma was in turn shocked.
Kagome felt a strong connection between them. It felt like she could relate to Ranma in ways she couldn't explain. Kagome blushed. 'Do I love Ranma? I've only known him for like a hour!' with that thought she blushed 10 shades deeper. Fortunately Ranma didn't notice. Kagome looked at the clock. It was 6 in the evening.
"Look, it's already 8 o'clock. I'll go make some ramen to eat." she smiled at Ranma and went to the kitchen to make some ramen for the both of them.
'I hope she cooks better than Akane.' Ranma thought. He was exhausted and didn't want to be killed by living food (*lol* ^o^).
After 6 minutes Kagome came back to the living room with the ramen she had promised. She handed Ranma a cup. He peered nervously at it. After a minute of staring he finally confirmed that it wasn't alive. Then he began to eat.
It was delicious! Ranma finished it quicker than you can say Shikon No Tama once. "More please!" Ranma said happily, thrusting the cup to Kagome who only smiled and went back to the kitchen to make more ramen. When she came back, she handed Ranma another cup. He ate it at the same rate he ate the last one. After 10 more cups he was finally full.
"It's still raining, and it's dark out. Maybe you should stay for the night," Kagome said. Ranma was about to say he should be getting back now, when he felt her aura. It was odd, for a girl with her cheerfulness; she hides her loneliness and sorrow from everyone. A person would think that her type of person would express herself well, but Ranma remembered her story. He nodded understanding and agreed to stay.
To him she was pretty intriguing. She was nicer than Akane, cooked better than her, and wasn't a tomboy like Akane either. But she still hid her true feelings from the rest of the world.
'I guess traveling back and forth between eras could do that to you.' He thought looking at the girl in question. Kagome had her eyes closed enjoying the sound of the rain on her rooftop.
After a period of comforting silence, where the two were deep in their thoughts, they began a conversation. The conversation was centered on the events before they met, and how hectic their lives have become because of it.
It was nearly 11 at night when Kagome finally fell asleep next to Ranma. Her head was resting on Ranma's shoulder and her aura radiated with contempt. Ranma stroked Kagome's raven hair. Suddenly with a jerk of his hand, he stopped.
'What in the world am I doing?! I barely know her! And I'm stroking her hair! But she was so sad and I.... I...wanted to comfort her! She is cute and sweet.' Ranma didn't let himself finish those thoughts. He knew himself that he was in love with Kagome. But her feelings to him were still uncertain. He shook his head. 'No time to think about this stuff.' he informed himself. With that thought, he went to sleep.
They awoke the next day in the afternoon, though they were still sleepy. Kagome was the one who woke first. She realized that her head was resting on Ranma's shoulder, and blushed. Right then she realized that she was in totally in love with Ranma Saotome.
'What about Inu-yasha?! And Sesshoumaru?!' Her thoughts were growing more desperate by the second. When Ranma opened his eyes a slit, he smiled at Kagome. This made her calm down slightly, though she was still a little bit jumpy. She forced herself to not care about those earlier thoughts for the moment.
Finally Ranma was now fully awake. He had felt Kagome tense up earlier and wanted to see what was up. It had been almost an hour since that had happened. Now they were standing at the stairway to the street below.
Anyways, before Ranma left, Kagome hugged him and said "Hope to see you soon! And here." and handed him a slip of paper. Ranma looked at it curiously, it had Kagome's phone number and address. "It's for you! Now you can call me and send me mail! But I'm telling you not to call me to often. I'll be off in the feudal ages most of the time," she said happily. Ranma nodded. Kagome gave Ranma another hug, this time lasting much longer.
Kagome looked up into Ranma's sapphire-blue eyes, ringed with gray. She felt like she was looking in the calmness before a storm. With every moment passing she felt herself slipping into a trance. It was like they say: 'loosing yourself in their eyes.'
Slowly their faces moved towards each other. Both feeling the warm breath of the other, closing their eyes they kissed.
Half of Kagome's thoughts were to stop it at once. But the other half said 'Savor the moment! You're not going to get another chance like this! Just keep with it!' She sided with the go for it part and pushed away the other. Ranma deepened the kiss. After what seemed like an eternity they separated.
Ranma didn't know what he was doing. He just kissed her. He had tried to stop himself but that didn't work. His mind had just kept telling him to go for it. He tried to close those thoughts but some how they over powered him. So he tried to sever the connection but of no use. Finally he stopped trying to fight it and went for it, deepening the kiss. After what seemed like an eternity, they broke apart.
~*~*~*~*~*~* End flash back~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"From then on, Ranma and I stayed in touch with each other," Kagome finished the story of her encounter with Ranma. It was sunset and Ranma still hadn't arrived. She had told Akane everything except for the part about her kissing Ranma and her liking him.
"NOW I REMEMBER!" Akane shouted in remembrance.
Kagome sweat dropped and said, "After the whole story, now you remember?"
After a moment of silence, Ranma came through the front door. He dropped down next to Kagome and asked "So why are you here?"

A/N: This fic doesn't really fit into the Inu-yasha story line, The Shichinin-tai will play a major role in the storyline, but they did not go to the Peiling mountain, I've got the spelling from the subtitles of the DVDs so you know they aren't really accurate. Naraku isn't that close to completing the Shikon no Tama either. But the events of the demon trying to create a copy of the Shikon No Tama did already happen. So basically the Shichinin-tai, and the principals of the creation of the Shikon No Tama are in this story, and it takes place somewhere around the 7th or 8th season.
And NO Flames please!
P.S.-- I'm having a small contest. To see which pairing u guys prefer. Sesshoumaru/Kagome or Ranma/Kagome? You can put your answer in your review or e-mail me at Sapphire_Dragon254@yahoo.com. Sorry to those who like Ranma/Akane, Inuyasha/Kagome or Any other that isn't the suggestions. I was originally making it a Sess/Kag story but my brother convinced me to put Ranma as an option. And again don't flame me!!
