Guardian ½

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone of the Ranma ½ universe, other than new areas, other characters and the plot. I built my house on it!

Ranma: Did ya really?

Me: Yes

Ranma: hm…

Me: on a side note, you die in the first ten sentences.

Ranma/Akane: WHAT?

Me:*sweatdrop* then you revive as a vampire.

The two: *even louder* WHAT?

Everyone:*ears ringing*

Nabiki: wow, you two are really made for each other!

Akane: NABIKI!

Author's note/rant: IM FINALLY BACK! AFTER leaving so long *CHARGING MAH LAZER!* and ditching the Mortal instruments, I got the idea of writing Ranma 1/2. Now dont get me wrong, I will continue, since it's nearing July and school's out, I'll have more than enough time to bring at least 3 more chapters...if I decide on doing it... eventurally... Anyways, on to teh(teehee) story!

Chapter 1: Agony and the Turning

The agonizing cry of local martial artist, the best in the world or at least Japan, rang across the town of Nermia. Most brushed it off as the result of the poor guy consuming Akane's toxic cooking. But this was not the case, not even a ton of her cooking could do this to him. It worried most of the people that knew him, including Ryoga.

'What the hell?' the lost boy tried to set a course to the Tendo Dojo…but obviously he got lose and ended up in the Himalayas.

"WHERE THE HELL AM I?" he screamed, causing a world record avalanche to fall behind him. No one got hurt in the accident as the yell was a good enough warning.

Back to our pigtailed boy, currently looked pale, on the floor of the dojo, and trashing in pain. Agony clearly written on his face.

"Someone help me… The pain, oh my god, the pain, it's unbearable…" the boy stopped trashing for a while to look at the people staring at him. His dad Genma, Akane's day Soun Tendo, Akane, Nabiki, Kasumi and even Happosai. The three male adults exchanged fierce gazes and nodded., thinking the same thing, 'It's starting.'

The boy started to trash again, though weaker. The colour of his eyes fading as he began to stare off to nothing. With his last breathe he whispered, "Fire, the pain, it's like I'm on fire. L…li..ke…the neko—arg…ken ..a…ag..ain…" Ranma exhaled again and stopped moving. All the colour of his body draining from him.

Akane started to cry and ran to the limp body of her fiancée. To everyone's surprise, Happosai, Genma, and Soun started to shout, "My dear Akane, get away from him, it'll be your undoing if you don't.""Girl get back here!""Akane, my daughter, if you wish not to die, get back!"

"How? He's already dead, what difference would it make if I do too? There's no point living." Akane started to hug the body close to her, too close.

" Akane! Get back! Before he kills you!"

"I TOLD YOU HE"S DEAD HOW COULD HE KILL ME?" Akane Yelled back, louder than everyone else. Soun Stopped talking, and the other two stared at him.

"If she wish to stay with him until he awakes, it'll be her own folly. There's nothing we could do if that's the case." Soun sat down and stared with a fierce glare to everyone but Kasumi, who was baking goods as it was her habit when something sad happens.

Akane started to cry again and wisper, "Ranma, please wake up, this isn't funny, please. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please wake up, Get up, GET UP!" At the last few words, her frustration took a new level, and she started to beat at the prone figure of Ranma. Then all of her anger drained, leaving her crying as she crushed Ranma with a hug again.

Nabiki, ever the observant one, even though she had tears, saw something strange, 'It can't be… can it? Did I just see his hand twitch?'

Suddenly, the door of the dojo flew open to show a red haired girl that worn casual, everyday clothing who started to shout, "Get away from him! He'll kill you!"

"Zero!" The three male shouted in disbelief as they stared at her.

The girl turned to stare also in disbelief before brushing it off. She walked towards the still crying girl who hang to Ranma for dear life, "Listen to me, get away, he's going to wake soon and he may kill you!"

"I don't care, he's dead, why should I live? He always help me, save me, believed in me, even though I'm so mean to him at times. He brought me out of death once, so what couldn't I?"

"…." Zero gapped at Akane and reached to drag her away but Ranma's hands reached up first, grabbing on to Akane's arm with a strong grasp. Zero gasped, "No…" and fell back.

Akane started and stared at the now awake martial artist who stared at her with red and unfocused eyes "Ran…ma?"

The boy ignored her and pulled her even closer and leaned his head to her neck. Before Akane could ask what's wrong, Ranma bit into her flesh, sucking the blood that's leaking out. Akane felt pain for the first few seconds then pure pleasure rushed through her veins. 'He bit me. He BIT ME! Why? He's dead, then why is he still moving, never mind sucking on me…that sounded wrong. Hm…lets deduce this….cold…bites…red eyes...' Akane blinked a bit the realized, although it was hard through the haze of pleasure, 'He's a vampire…he turned to a vampire… how? That's what they ment…I'm so stupid and stubborn sometimes… am I going to die?'

Soun, Happosai, Genma, and Zero saw the sudden realization appear on Akane's face which is changed to an accepting sadness.

"So she finally realized she may die, eh Tendo?" Genma said solemnly.

"Appears to be so…Wait! He's withdrawing! His real mind's probably taking over now!" Soun cried.

Happosai stared still, "She's not out of the dark yet, she would change soon and the bite may make it happen sooner. Then we may have to trap her so she doesn't hurt anyone else since she may be supercharged with vampire DNA from the bite. Ranma have to supply her with the blood for as long as she's in the state since they wouldn't attack other members of their race."

"Yes…unless she could recover so fast too." Genma said.

"Oh my!" Kasumi said as she entered the dojo with tea and rice cakes. In the dojo she saw Akane getting her blood sucked out by Ranma. The tray with the food tipped over causing the hesitating Ranma to snap out of his stupor.

Ranma started to pant, "What happened?" he looked at Akane who stared at him in wonder. On her neck were two neatly placed puncture marks that was already healing.

"Ran…ma… are you back?" she asked, disbelieving that Ranma, her fiancée was back.

But the look on Ranma's face was pure fear and rage, "Who did this to you?"

"What?"

"That," Ranma poked the still wet wound, which caused Akane to flinch in pain, "What happened?"

"You happened…I have to be blunt Ranma but….you..areavampireok?"

"? Slow down, it's not like someone's going to die!"

"You don't know the irony of that sentence," Nabiki said, face red from crying, "You just died, somehow revived and bit Akane and almost drained her of all blood. So I figure that she was trying to tell you that you are now a vampire."

"What?" Ranma whispered harshly and wiped his mouth. Red stained the back of his hand and he licked it. The metallic taste tasted sweet to him, "blood…" He was immediately aware of his surroundings and stumbled away from Akane who just stared at him, "Oh my god, I'm a monster, I bit Akane, I bit Akane and almost killed her. Oh god no…" He curled up into a ball and cried in his knees.

"Ranma," the boy ignored Akane. She walked up to Ranma and was about to touch him before he scrambled away again, "Ranma, listen to me, you're not a monster, yes the bite was uncalled for but you weren't in control!"

"W-w-what i-i-f I l-lo-lost control ag-again? W-what happens then?" Ranma retorted.

Akane sighed and walked to Ranma again, who didn't run away this time," Ranma, it's ok. I don't think you'll lose control again." She hugged the crying boy. She knew by heart that Ranma rarely cries, and then only in his female form. The only other time as a boy was when he was shouting for her to wake up at Jusendo. So she knew that this was something very painful for the boy.

"You're so nice to me, so compassionate. I don't deserve a friend like you." Ranma sighed; in his mind, pictures of more than just friends flowed like a river. His face flushed.

"Ooh, guess not many of the myths of a vampire's real." Akane teased, and then thought to the sentence Ranma said, 'Friends? That won't satisfy me, I was wrong to keep my real feelings since the start.' Akane got ready and suddenly lunged up to give Ranma a deep kiss.

Everyone gasped as Akane coiled her arms around Ranma's neck so he wouldn't run away and kept on hissing him. After a period of being stunned, Ranma kissed back. They kissed for about a minute when then Akane reluctantly have to draw back to take a breath.

"Wow…" They said in unison, then turned to everyone else who's jaws are on the floor. Save for kasumi and Nabiki: kasumi smiled happily, and Nabiki smiled the way she does when she think that she got a new way of making profit.

"Pick up your jaw pops, it's not pretty what's in there." Ranma smirked and Akane rolled her eyes.

An hour later the house was filled with screaming again, no not agony or any of the sort, but pure, unadulterated disbelief, and not to Ranma, but to his and Akane's father.

"You're telling me we're the last two pure born Gardians?" Ranma yelled at Genma, who to his surprise didn't cringe away in fear, rather simply nodded.

"And you two and our mother had vampire gene in them?" Akane's voice rose even higher than Ranma's and the males all nodded.

"But apparently Ranma has more Vampire than human. As shown by the turning. They are stronger than normal Vampires and humans or even guardians, turned-guardians has all the benefits of being a vampire, and many aspects of human nature like being able to stand sunlight, no extremely noticeable features except that they also drink blood and have red eyes." Zero, a guardian who knew the two kids for all their life, said.

Apparently Happosai was also a guardian, though he doesn't use that power much anymore, "Yes, guardians generally live forever, unless they are infected vampire venom, drained of blood, or attacked by Werewolves, generally we are in quite well shape, in terms of relationship with Weres. Apparently, because we are not really yet dead like actual Vampires, we don't get along very well."

"Is Akane going to go through the same thing?"

"Before the bite, then the answer is probably no, her Vampire gene isn't exactly dominate in her blood line, but because of your bite, her blood would probably be saturated with Vampire DNA as that newborns don't have the option of stopping their blood leaking out to the victim. Not even guardians can escape that fact, first time feeding, and even they run the risk of turning the other into a guardian or vampire, but most times, because the blood isn't potent enough the other would reject the change. Two outcomes are possible, first, the person would live through the rejection after a painful period of time, or they die a horribly, painful death." After Happosai finished everyone was silent and eventurally Ranma excused himself and left to the roof. Akane followed shortly after.

"A lot to take in eh?" Akane asked, sitting beside Ranma, staring at the setting sun.

"Yea," then Ranma smiled, "but that kiss wasn't."

Akane blushed and asked, hopeful, "Want another one?"

Ranma didn't answer, instead, he opted to smile brilliantly, shining his new, perfectly white teeth, with two slightly longer ones, making him look like Ryoga, except the teeth are still a bit longer. The two shared another kiss, with the fading sun in the background.
