A/N: Welcome everyone, to my very first fanfic. I've done a little bit of writing in the past, but this is the start of the biggest work I've done so far. This will be a Male!RyuubixHarem, with Chouhi, Kanu, Chou'un, Fem!Kouchuu, Bachou, Ryofu, and Chinkyuu. If you have problems with that, don't bother reading any further.

Warnings: You will probably find plenty of OOC-ness due to the gender bending, and while I have read the manga, it has been awhile, so don't expect there to be much manga influence. There will be elements of Kenichi: History's Strongest Disciple. There will also be minor OC's, but their role will be primarily antagonistic. I also couldn't find any concrete list of what Magatama color correlates with what rank, so I made one up for my own use.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Ikki Tousen franchise, or the Histories Strongest Disciple franchise. I am writing this purely for fun and to see reader responses, no financial profit is made.

Chapter 1 – The Meeting of the Three

Ryuubi Gentoku closed the book in his left hand with a quiet sigh. This day marked the beginning of what promised to be a very violent and dangerous time. It would be the equivalent of the founding of Shu, one of the Three Kingdoms from the warring states period in China 1800 years ago. He would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. But he was also excited. Soon he would be able to make some appreciable progress with his dream. He was going to break the curse that afflicted every Toushi and end this cycle of grief.

Ryuubi is seventeen years old, standing at 6' tall, with short reddish brown hair, a few bangs dangling lightly in front of a pair of light green eyes. He wears a black t-shirt under a yellow button up shirt left undone. On his legs he has grey khaki pants, and brown shoes on his feet. On his left ear is a white magatama, indicating his status as a C-rank fighter.

Currently latched onto his right side, with his right arm draped over her shoulders is a sleeping Chouhi Ekitoku, or as he likes to call her, Ku-Chan. A smile spreads on his face as he looks at her. She's been his best friend since he was eight and she was seven. A year ago they had started dating, and he loved her dearly.

The sixteen year old girl was already dressed in the Seito Academy uniform, saying that she wanted to get used to it as soon as possible. Personally, he just thought she wanted to drive him mad with arousal. That schoolgirl outfit was very teasing, and she seemed to have inherited some degree of the original Chouhi Ekitoku's legendary love for wine and women in the form of food and pervertedness. On her ear was the orange magatama of a B-Rank fighter, it having just evolved a few weeks prior during one of their training sessions.

The train PA chimed, getting his attention. "Good Afternoon travelers, we are currently ten minutes out from our destination, please take this time to make sure you have all of your luggage and all members in your party accountable."

Ryuubi lightly shook Chouhi, "Ku-Chan, time to wake up. We're almost there." He whispered.

Chouhi fidgeted a bit before stretching out, letting out a satisfied groan at the popping from her joints. "What time is it Gen-Kun?"

"3:22. we'll be at the station in ten minutes. Have a good nap?"

"Always do when I have my favorite pillow." She leaned in and kissed his cheek, "Hope you weren't too bored without me to keep you entertained." She said with a lecherous smirk.

"Who says you didn't keep me entertained. You were right there defenseless from my attention for almost 4 hours ya know."

Chouhi's boisterous laughter was her only response.

Once the train had pulled into the station and come to a stop, the pair double checked that they had all of their bags and disembarked.

Chouhi quickly began dragging him off to a row of food stalls "Let's find some yakitori or something. I'm starving and we have another forty five minutes before the bus to Seito shows up."

They grabbed two deluxe yakitori boxes and another two boxes of dango then set off for the bus stop.(1)

Chouhi glances at Ryuubi as she begins tearing into her food. "So you excited to finally reach Seito? Now's when everything starts getting really rowdy right?" She once again grew a lecherous grin, "And you'll be the only guy at a school filled entirely with nubile young women who will all one day call you leader."

A year ago Ryuubi would be choking on his food at that comment, but by now he had been fully corrupted by Chouhi. "Oh definitely, I'll even let you boss 'em around too."

Chouhi was most definitely bi-sexual. She was constantly ogling attractive women and had even proclaimed that she would be on the lookout for more girls to add to the relationship...Ryuubi had no desire to try to talk her out of it.

"But seriously, I'm most excited to finally meet Kanu. I've been waiting ever since I first read Romance of the Three Kingdoms." He sent a small glare at Chouhi, "And all you're bragging sure as hell didn't help, little miss 'We're closer than sisters'."

At some point Chouhi met Kanu, but by some cruel twist of fate Ryuubi was never around when they saw each other. As a result, Chouhi was able to get in plenty of teasing on both Ryuubi and Kanu, who was just as eager to meet him as he was her. Chouhi never even had a camera with her, or when she did it would mysteriously go missing or end up destroyed in some freak accident.

The brown eyed girl only smiled wider before taking a large bite out her dango stick. "Well I can finally introduce the two of ya in a bit, and at last the threesome will be united." She pointed down the road with what was left of her dango, "And look, there's the bus."

The bus ride passed in a jumble of nerves. Ryuubi could hardly control himself. Was his hair okay? Were his clothes straight? Did his breath smell? He wanted to make a good first impression on the woman.

"Relax Gen-Kun, you're acting like a total wuss. Now wake up and move we've been at our stop for the last fifteen seconds."

Looking up he noticed the strange look the driver was giving him. Quickly grabbing his bags he exited the bus, muttering a quick apology to the driver.

The two were currently at the base of a large forested hill. Seito Academy was built around a shrine in the forest, so they had a small hike to make before they reached the Academy.

Just as they were starting up the trail Chouhi's cell went off.

"Hey Kan-San!... Yea, we just got off the bus and are walking up the trail, how're things on your end?...Wow, really?...Hah! I'd like to see 'em try. I'll send 'em packing if they bother us… uh huh, see ya soon."

Snapping her cell phone closed Chouhi said, "Kan-San's doing well, says that she's been clearing out the trash in Seito for our arrival. And I'm not talking about garbage trash. There're still some punks around, so keep an eye out k?"

Ryuubi nodded and the pair continued on, enjoying the scenery. Soon they were interrupted by a voice hidden in the trees.

"What do we have here? A couple of new students?" The speaker stepped out from the trees, revealing a pale skinned brunette carrying an iron rod. She wore the Seito uniform and had a red magatama, meaning she was an A-Rank Toushi. Wrapped around her neck was a chain, and her lips were twisted into a cruel looking smirk. "Lucky for you, we're the ones who handle all newcomers' registrations."

Three more girls stepped up behind the rod wielding student. They were all C-Ranked Toushi. One was a very tall, very buff woman. She seemed like the all brawn and no brain type and resembled a gorilla. Another had silver hair and was very scrawny, but she had a vicious look in her eyes. The third had green shoulder length hair, a blank looking face, and was carrying a large knife.

Ryuubi had a feeling that these were some of those pieces of trash Chouhi warned him about.

"But what's a boy doing here?" It was the silver haired one speaking, "Seito is an all girls academy."

"Does it matter? He's not bad looking. Can we keep him?" The gorilla like one asked.

Chouhi scoffed, "Cha, as if a bunch of girls as ugly and stupid looking as you have any say in the matter." She tossed her bags several feet behind her and dropped into her fighting stance. Slightly crouched, left leg forward, both arms held at jaw height with the tips of her thumbs touching the tips of her fingers. Her left hand was further out and her right hand held close to her cheek ready to strike. It was her variation of the Snake Style, in homage to Chouhi Ekitoku's Snake Spear.

"I'll kill you all before I let you touch him."

"You girls should really reconsider this." Ryuubi followed Chouhi's example and readied himself for a fight. "We won't be bullied easily."

His knees were bent and both hands held in palms. His left hand was in front of him palm forward, the right was held to his right, palm also outward, as if getting ready to push something away.

The large one approached Chouhi. "Look at the mouth on this one. I think we need to teach her how to use it." As the woman was reaching to grab Chouhi's hair, she attacked.

Faster than the punk could react Chouhi's right hand had buried itself just below her breastbone. The points of her fingers easily dug through the layers of flesh. As Chouhi's attack fully extended, the poor girl rocketed backwards into a large tree, making a noticeable dent in its trunk. She wouldn't be getting up again anytime soon.

"My name is Chouhi Ekitoku! Those of you with the guts, step forward!"

The two remaining C-Ranks were clearly shaken by the show of strength. And they should be. The way Chouhi fought, every hit that connected felt like she was trying to punch straight through you and hit something behind you. In a fight like this with no rules she forgot the meaning of 'holding back'.

The A-Rank stepped forward, "Oho, looks like the bitch has some bite. Try that with me, the invincible Abe Chiyo-Sama!"(2) She charged, swinging her club like a baseball bat at the air where Chouhi's head had just been.

Ryuubi didn't have any more time to watch the fight as he found himself ducking away from a swipe from the green head. He had his own fight to worry about.


Chouhi Vs Abe

Chouhi was kept on the defensive by Abe's iron rod. It wasn't something she wanted to try blocking with her bare arms and legs, and it gave Abe a decisive advantage in reach. But Chouhi Ekitoku never gives up, no matter what the odds are.

Chouhi spun into a crouch using the momentum to kick out in an attempt to trip her opponent. Abe jumped back to avoid it. "You people aren't welcome in Seito any longer!" The two Toushi charged each other, Chouhi pushing a chopping attack to her left and punching her in the face sending Abe staggering back. "We're kicking you out!"

Abe wiped the blood from her nose, snarling hatefully. "You don't know what you're getting yourself into bitch! Seito belongs to the gangs, and we're gonna keep it that way!"

Abe swung down with her club. When Chouhi moved to push it aside once again, she pivoted on her left foot turning the attack into a wide horizontal swing, smashing the rod into Chouhi's jaw. While Chouhi stumbled away the rod crashed into her twice more, a two handed swing into her left bicep and a swift stabbing attack with the end of the rod into her stomach sending her sprawling onto her back.

Chouhi's head was spinning from that rod to the chin. She was scrabbling around trying to find her balance to stand, but before she could a boot was pressed into her back holding her down. Her vision finally cleared enough to see the iron rod held in front of her face. Abe was in a sick parody of a golfer's stance, clearly preparing to try whacking Chouhi's head clear off her shoulders.

"I'm going to make you wish you were never born," She ground her heel into Chouhi's spine, "and then I'm going to do the same to your boy toy." The club was raised, "Sayonara bitch!" The club swung down.


Ryuubi Vs Toushi

"C'mon! Fight back you coward!" The scrawny silver haired fighter yelled. "You'll never get out of this alive if all you do is block!"

Ryuubi has been standing in one place calmly parrying and blocking any attack the two women sent at him. In his stance everything within his reach was his territory. If they wanted to hit him, they'd have to break through this bubble.

The technique he was using was called Seikuken, Control of the Air Sphere. Having trained to the point of being intimately aware of just how far his reach is as well as predicting attack trajectories, enabled him to intercept attacks before they could even get close to him.

"Sakura!" The silver head shouted, "Get behind him! There's no way he can keep this up on both sides."

Fools. Bringing their attention away from their opponent when he's still in range of them. While they were distracted trying to come up with a plan, Ryuubi attacked.

He punched the unarmed woman straight in the throat with the fore knuckles on his right hand. She choked, clutching at her windpipe and collapsed to her knees. Her eyes were wide open in disbelief before she fell forward face first into the grass.

Ryuubi looked at the fallen Toushi. He usually didn't like hurting people, but he wasn't about to let some punks who had clearly been at this type of thing for awhile go unpunished. If they died it would be sad, but he wouldn't let that stop him from making sure these punks didn't hurt anyone ever again. One of his most precious ideals was protecting the innocent and weak. These Toushi were examples of exactly what he intended to protect them from.

"You bastard! I'll kill you!"

Ryuubi cursed himself for his inattention. He should know better than to take his attention from a still functioning enemy. He had just shown what could happen if you did that. Sakura had managed to make a small cut on his right forearm in punishment.

She was swinging wildly, completely uncontrolled. But her fury made her faster, and she hadn't yet made a big enough mistake that he could take advantage of, so he settled back into his Seikuken. His left hand would slap into the wrist of his attacker, taking the knife off course into a safe direction again and again.

After a minute of her furious flailing he saw his opening. She had stepped too widely on her last swipe leaving her balance vulnerable. Ryuubi's left foot lashed out at her right instep, causing her to fall into an awkward half splits pose.

Ryuubi grabbed her knife hand and spun, elbowing Sakura directly in the nose with a distinct cracking noise, indicating he'd broken it. Sakura went limp unconscious.

Looking to Chouhi's fight, he was just in time to see the enemy leader with one foot on Chouhi's back keeping her down, pulling her club back to swing.

He ran as fast as he could, but he knew there was no way he would reach them in time.

"Chouhi!"


Before the potentially lethal strike could land, they were interrupted by a strong burst of wind and a chi blast strong enough to send Abe flying through the air away from Chouhi.

"You were foolish to remain so close to the school." One of the most beautiful women Ryuubi had ever seen stepped into the field. "You should have run far away and prayed that I had forgotten your pitiful existence."

She wore a modified version of the Seito uniform, the shirt cut to expose her abdomen a pair of long baggy socks and a set of red fingerless gloves. Her long black hair fell all the way down to her ankles, with an iron band tying the ends together. Her left eye was hidden by her bangs, but her right eye was a brilliant blue with a sharp gaze that seemed to pierce straight into Abe's soul. At her side she carried a Guan Dao, the famed Seiryuto.(3) She had a dark red magatama on her left ear and a stoic expression as she gazed upon Abe, who could only stare in impotent anger.

Ryuubi knew right away. This was her. This was Kanu Unchou. He had the same feeling deep in his gut that he had when he first saw Chouhi. The feeling that this person was unspeakably important to him.

Abe let out a desperate battle cry and charged at Kanu, iron rod ready to cave her head in. She got within six feet before Kanu blurred into action. Seiryuto cleaved the rod from its handle and was quickly swung again carving a huge gash across Abe's chest.

Abe flew backwards, blood arcing through the air. She would have difficult road to recovery if she survived.

"Kan-San! I totally had her! What'd you do that for?!" Chouhi had gotten up by now covered in grass stains and a bloody lip.

"Sorry Ekitoku," Kanu gave a light smile. "I just couldn't help myself."

"Alright I forgive ya," Chouhi grabbed Kanu's arm, "Now c'mon, there's someone you gotta meet."

Kanu and Ryuubi's eyes met, and any nervousness either may have had became a distant memory.

"Kan-San, this is Ryuubi Gentoku-Kun, Gen-Kun, this is Kanu Unchou-San."

"It's wonderful to finally meet you Kanu-San." Ryuubi had a bright smile, "I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

"I have as well Gentoku." Her smile may not have been as big as his, but the feeling behind it matched his perfectly.

"Alright! The three are together once more!" Chouhi pulled everyone into a hug, happily reciprocated by the other two.
