Ranma + Vampire! – By DS Wynne
Disclaimer: "Ranma ½" and "Rosario + Vampire" belong to their respective owners.
Note: This is a continuation, crossover story.
Special note: There will be NO other crossovers (surprised, huh?).
Author's note: Certain elements of canon have been "adjusted" in order to fit the story mechanics. Secondly, Ranma will be dealing with MONSTERS, not HUMANS, which means that would-be opponents will be treated as foes who could potentially harm Ranma in battle, and using Ranma's fight with Saffron does not count as a evidence on how a fight with a youkai should turn out. Re-read the actual "Ranma 1/2" manga on how that battle actually turned out, not how you think it had turned out. Finally, I will not accept anonymous reviews. If you're going to critique my story, prepare for a response. The purpose for a review is to gain constructive feedback, so "snarky" comments will be deleted. Other than that, I do hope that my take on a "Ranma Half"/"Rosario + Vampire" crossover will inspire you all to not only read other versions of this crossover story, from different fanfiction writers, but also inspire you to write your own take. Enjoy show...
Part 1
It was a sunny day, when the new school term had arrived. The birds were chirping, the sun was, well, sunning and all seemed right in the world...
Except for a certain pig-tailed, teen martial artist, that is.
Being Ranma Saotome has prepared him to expect trouble, whether it is feeling the wrath of his jealous fiancées, or feeling the wrath of his numerous rivals. However, he never expected the news that was going to attend a new school…
FLASHBACK!
SMACK!
"What?" Ranma yelled, as he smacks the coffee table in the living room of the Tendo Dojo.
"Ranma, calm down," Akane says, as she tugged her fiancé's shirt.
"Yes, son, please," Nodoka says, as she sat calmly next to her husband Genma…who was doing his best to ignore the entire situation. "All I am suggesting is that you and Akane to post-pone your engagement…while you are away from school."
Ranma harrumphs, as he sits back down.
"Mrs. Saotome, what Ranma is trying to say, and I think I am speaking for the both of us, is that I believe we can make this engagement work," Akane says evenly.
"I know all this," Nodoka says, as she glances over towards her husband. "But after the numerous fiascos involving my son, I think that it would be best for the two of you to…spread your wings."
"Uh, er…"
"And if you two are REALLY meant for each other, then we can proceed with the marriage…AFTER you two graduate from high school. And for once, I want to put Ranma in a place where he can actually study."
Meanwhile, Soun, Akane's father, listens quietly. He didn't like this separation that his best friend's wife was calling for, but he wanted to give the suggestion a try.
"How did you manage to secure an exclusive school like the Youkai Academy?" Soun asked.
"Well, this kindly priest simply…gave me the brochure and everything, saying that it was fate that I would have it," Nodoka smiles.
"Great," Ranma smirks.
Later, that evening…
"Ranma, are you up here?" Akane says, as she climbs up to the roof.
"Yeah," Ranma says, as he continues to stare at the stars.
"Then, do you mind?"
Ranma turns his head to see Akane with a tray of two bowls of noodles.
"Oh, sorry," Ranma says, as he helps Akane to the roof.
"Thanks," Akane says, as she sits the bowl down. "You didn't come down to dinner."
"Eh, I didn't feel like it," Ranma says absently.
"Oh. Well, you want to eat with me?"
"Eh," Ranma says, as he takes the bowl. He sniffs it.
"Go ahead and eat."
"YOU made this, didn't you?"
"Aren't you going to eat it or not?" Akane says angrily. "And here I wanted to have our last meal together…"
Ranma swallows hard, as he takes a sip.
"HUH?" Ranma exclaims.
"Huh, you didn't like it…"
"NO, it was…good actually."
"Well, I really wanted to be able to do more than boil water, you know."
Ranma takes another sip of the soup.
"Thank you, Akane. Now I have something to remember you by."
"Ranma, don't be silly," Akane says with a giggle. "You'll be back before you know it…"
END FLASHBACK!
'Akane," Ranma thinks to himself. He then takes out a duck key chain with Akane's name on it…
'I promise I'll make you proud of me-"
"Hey, kid, your stop is up," says the strange-looking bus driver.
"Oh, yeah…thanks…"
Once the bus stops, Ranma gets his pack, and disembarks. The first thing he sees is a scarecrow with a pumpkin for a head.
"Isn't 'Halloween' a bit early?" Ranma says, as he turns back towards the bus.
"You'll find that your new school is more 'Halloween' than you think, heh," the driver says, as he closes the door…and drives away…
"What a weirdo," Ranma says, as he shoulders his pack and heads towards his news school…
Having seen the sign pointing in the direction of the school, Ranma goes down a lonely road, where a forest borders a cemetery.
Ranma wasn't bothered by any of it. He was bothered when a flying rodent-thing actually talked.
"I'm a bat!" the rodent proclaimed, before flying off.
"…"
Clearing his throat, Ranma continued on his way.
"Man, I hope THAT is the last of the weirdness-"
BAM!
"Urk!" Ranma yelped, as a girl on a bicycle crashed into him from behind. "Shampoo…?"
However, Ranma managed to catch the girl's long, pink hair and panties instead.
"Huh, I guess not," says Ranma, as he begins to black out a bit...
"Excuse me…are you okay?" says the strange girl.
Ranma shakes his head, and manages to focus on the girl. She was wearing a school uniform (green jacket with tan pleated skirt) and wore a large, silver cross (with a bloodstone) around her neck.
"Heh, I guess so," Ranma laughed, as he rubbed the back of his head.
The girl looks down in shame.
"I'm…sorry for running into you," the girl says. "My vision gets blurry when I don't eat."
"Well, that's why it's important to get a good meal first thing in the morning, I guess."
"Uh-huh," the girl says. She then notices the slight cut on Ranma's face.
"Oh, you're bleeding," says the girl, as she gets a handkerchief from her pocket. "Let me take care of that."
"H-hey, it's nothing," Ranma says defensively, as the girl dabs the cloth with her tongue, before applying it on the wound. However-
"Oh!" the girl says suddenly.
"What?"
"You blood…it smells so nice…"
"Er," Ranma says, as the girl comes into Ranma's space to "kiss" his neck.
CHU!
"Hey!" Ranma says, as he pushes the girl off him. "What the heck was THAT for?"
The girl looks down in sadness.
"I'm…sorry," the girl says. "It's just that I have a…condition that seems to have its way of me…"
In spite of Ranma's misgivings, the girl's sadness, coupled with her cuteness, Ranma sighs.
"Um, don't worry about it," Ranma says, as he feels his wound. "Look, I'm trying to find the Youkai Academy-"
"Oh!" the girl says, as she perked up. "Well, I am on my way there right now. I can show you around the campus."
"I'd like that. I'm a transfer student."
"Oh, me, too!" the girl says. "Um, do you…hate vampires?"
"I…haven't met any 'vampires' to hate, but they are suppose to be monsters, right?"
"…"
"And it's a martial artist's duty to fight monsters."
"Oh…I see…"
"But I don't see any monsters, so that's not a problem, right?"
"Huh?" the girl says, as she perks up.
"I'm mean, there's good and bad people, wouldn't there be good and bad monsters?"
The girl jumps up for joy.
"Yes!"
The girl bowls over Ranma in a great hug.
BAM!
"That's wonderful!" the girl says. "You want to be friends?"
Ranma looks into the girl's big, green eyes.
"Sure, I guess."
"Wonderful! I don't know anyone here…"
The girl pauses for a moment.
"My name is 'Moka Akashiya'."
Ranma stares at the girl, wondering why he had the urge to protect this strange girl…
"And your name is…?"
"Oh, it's Ranma Saotome…sorry about that…"
A little while later, Ranma was sitting in class…in his uniform. He would have been barred from entering the school if he didn't wear it. He didn't mind getting kicked out, but his mother was so set on him being at Youkai Academy…
Besides, it would have made Moka sad if he wasn't around.
'Why do I care about this girl?' Ranma thought. 'I'm supposed to be thinking about Akane-"
"Hello, class…welcome to Youkai Academy!" says the mousy—yet cute—teacher with glasses. "I will be your home room teacher, Shizuka Nekonome…"
Ranma felt that there was something off about his teacher, as if he had the feeling that he was dealing with a cat…
"As you all know, Youkai Academy is a school for monsters."
'Wait…monsters?' Ranma thought to himself.
"As of now, the world is under the control of humans. For us to survive, we have to coexist with the humans…"
Ranma cease paying attention to the teacher, and begins to actively scan the class. He wasn't sure what a monster's aura is supposed to be like, but he definitely wasn't picking up human auras.
'Damn it!' Ranma thought to himself. 'Now, what am I going to do-?'
"Boring rules!" says a boy sitting next to him.
"Oh?" says Miss Shizuka, as she looks into her attendance record. "You are…Saizou Komiya."
"Yeah, yeah," says the young tough. "I say, we should be true to ourselves…and eat the humans."
Saizou turns towards Ranma, and began to flip his extra-long tongue around while licking his chops. Ranma responded by giving off a look of disgust.
"Oh, but you shouldn't do that," Miss Shizuka says, as her cat's tail and ears pops out from underneath her skirt and hair respectively. "It's against the rules..."
Pause.
"Okay, let's take roll," Miss Shizuka said, as she opened her roll book. "Let's see...AH! Here we go..."
As the homeroom teacher began to take roll, Ranma turned to look outside.
'Man, what did Mom get me into this time?' Ranma thought to himself, as he tried to avoid Saizou's gaze. He didn't have much experience dealing with monsters, unless one counted the cursed forms of Pantyhose Taro and Rouge...and they were pretty tough to begin with-
"Saotome, Ranma?" Miss Shizuka said.
"Huh?" Ranma replied, before coming to a realization. "Oh, present."
"Humph," Saizou replied derisively.
"Okay," Miss Shizuka said, as she adjusts her eyeglasses. "Moving on..."
As the roll call continued, Ranma spies on Moka, who turned to give the Ranma a reassuring smile that made her cute.
'Wow, she's cute,' Ranma thought, as he smiled back. He then catches Saizou's gaze, who cracked his knuckles while mouthing the words "You're dead meat"...
'Man, I SO not need this crap,' Ranma thought while sighing in defeat. 'Sorry, Mom, I tried...'
Later, during the break period, Ranma kept to himself in the school quad, trying to take stock in his situation. So far, he has yet to find someone who is remotely "human". In fact, Ranma swore that a few of the students were nearly of Saffron when he and his friends fought the Phoenix Prince. And as much as the aspiring martial artist might find the prospect of fighting such a being to be appealing, it wasn't Ranma's style to pick fights...
"Ranma, Ranma!" calls out a voice.
Ranma sees Moka running towards him. He was perplexed as to what do, if Moka was really a vampire…
"How-?"
"I got your scent, silly," Moka smiles.
"Oh."
"Are you okay? You ran out the class…"
Ranma looks into the girl's eyes. There was something trusting about them.
"Ranma, if you don't want to talk about it-"
"Um…I have a…c-c-c-cat phobia. There, I said it."
"You're afraid of cats?"
"SHHH! Not so loud."
"Oh, sorry. I've never met a monster who was afraid of cats before."
"Er, yeah, well-"
"Well, look at the wimp…who is afraid of cats," says Saizou, as he leans on a nearby support beam, before walking towards Ranma and Moka.
"Huh-"
GRAB!
Ranma was lifted off the ground by the collar.
"Looks like I have a play-toy this term," Saizou says, as he threw Ranma into a vending machine.
BAM!
"Ranma!" Moka yells, as she tries to go over to her new friend…only to be held by Saizou.
"Let the wimp be, and come be MY friend instead-" Saizou began to say.
KLONK!
Saizou turns towards Ranma's direction, just in time to see another canned soda being thrown into his face.
KLONK!
"Ow!" Saizou yelled.
"Thanks for the drink," Ranma said, as he took a sip from a canned beverage, which Ranma had gotten from the now-dysfunctional vending machine that he was thrown into…
"Care for another?" Ranma said, as he lazily flipped another canned beverage is his hand.
"So, you're not a wimp after all," Saizou says, as he let's go of Moka.
"Never was," Ranma says, as he gets up. He then brushes the dust off his clothes. He then looks at Saizou. "This, of course, means I'll have to kick your ass."
"Ranma," Moka says fearfully.
"Oh, really?" Saizou says.
"Really," Ranma says, as he cracks his knuckles. "Is there a place where we can take this conversation elsewhere?"
"Sure," Saizou said, as smiled nastily.
Ten minutes later, Saizou and Ranma was facing each other at the bus stop where Ranma first arrives. Moka looks on with anticipation.
"Why here?" Ranma says.
"It's off school grounds," Saizou replies. "Don't want to get in trouble with the school, right?"
"Yeah, I guess…"
"You don't have to do this, Ranma," Moka says. "I don't want you to get hurt."
"Worry about him," Ranma says with a bright smile. "I'm sure that he's all talk, and nothing else."
"Enough," Saizou says, as he growls and jerks his body. "It's time to be our true selves! Arrrgggghhhhh-!"
Ranma's eyes widened, as he see Saizou change into a huge…ogre.
"Huh," Ranma replied, as he begins to reassess his opponent.
"Now, let's see you change!" Saizou-ogre said with a growl.
"Naw, you don't need to see ME change for me to kick your ass."
"Not likely!" Saizou-ogre yells, as he charges forward. He was getting ready to swipe Ranma with his claws, when-
THOOM!
Ranma steps inward and performs a solid uppercut.
"Argh!" Saizou-ogre yells, as he crashes into the hillside.
"Ow," Ranma says, as he shakes his fist. It felt as if he was hitting metal.
"Are you okay?" Moka asked.
"I will be, once I put this creep down-"
"RRRAAARRWWWWL!" Saizou-ogre says, as he charges forward, blind with rage while swinging his arms wildly. Ranma knew then and there that in spite of Saizou's physical advantage, he was definitely not dealing with a martial artist...
And therefore, Saizou was definitely beatable.
"Gah!" Saizou-ogre roared, as he delivered a clawed fist, only to have Ranma side-stepped the attack.
"Too slow," Ranma said with a smirk.
"Hhhh!" Saizou-ogre groused, as he threw a clawed uppercut. Ranma flipped backwards and out of Saizou's reach.
"Nope, try again."
"Ah!" Saizou-ogre yelled in frustration. He couldn't believe that some wimp could be so fast!
"I can do this all day, Saizou-CHAN," Ranma replied. "And as soon as I see an opening, you're going down."
'This wimp's right,' Saizou-ogre thought to himself, as he took stock of his situation. 'I got too used to dealing with the other freshmen, and got lazy as a result...'
Saizou-ogre then spies on Moka-chan, who was watching the fight pensively.
'Perfect,' Saizou-ogre smiled evilly, as he launched his next attack at Ranma...
Ranma sees Saizou charge him, and was waiting to perform a move that would end the fight then and there. However, at the last minute, Saizou-ogre veered into a new attack vector that brought Moka-chan into Saizou-ogre's proverbial cross-hairs.
"Ha!" Saizou-ogre yelled, as he brought his claws to bear, ready to strike the vampire girl.
"Ah!" Moka-chan screamed, as she instinctively braced for the attack.
Ranma had other ideas to this regard.
"Moka, get out of the way-!" Ranma yells.
SLICE!
"Arrgh!" Ranma yelled, as he felt his back being scrapped, while he took the brunt of the attack for Moka. He cursed himself for being cocky, thinking that Saizou would maintain his focus on him...
"Ranma-!"
"Looks like I got you good!" Saizou-ogre yells in triumphant.
'Ow,' Ranma grimaced, as he felt the results of his wounds while landing on one knee...
"I guess I win, wimp," Saizou-ogre replied.
"Ranma, just apologize to Saizou," Moka pleaded. "I don't want you to get hurt because of me."
"No," Ranma says, as he staggered back to his feet. "You're my friend…and it's a martial artist's duty to protect others..."
Ranma then turned towards Saizou-ogre.
"And I don't apologize to cowards who use the innocent to win fights," Ranma said with determination. "This fight ain't over yet!"
Moka looks into Ranma's eyes. There was a fierce determination that impressed her.
"Ranma…"
We'll see about THAT!" Saizou-ogre roared, as he rushed Ranma and Moka-chan's position.
"Moka, look out!" Ranma yelled, as he begins to push Moka-chan out of the way. However, while doing so, he accidentally pulls off Moka's cross off in the process.
"Oh!" Moka-chan said with a mixture of surprise and fear. Meanwhile, Ranma immediately sense a spike in Moka-chan's aura, followed by a burst of dark energy that came to the fore from within the vampire girl's very being.
"Huh?" Ranma and Saizou-ogre said in unison, as they were both treated to an awesome sight.
FWOOSH!
The sky around the three grows dark, as bats from nowhere engulf Moka. At the same time, both Saizou and Ranma felt an evil energy growing within the cute girl.
"Moka…?" Ranma says with worry.
When all could see again, Moka was changed somehow. She looked hold, had silver hair and red eyes, and was bigger…in a tall, sexy sort of way. And she looked practically evil.
"The rumors are true," Saizou-ogre says with alarm. "Moka Akashiya is really a master vampire!"
Moka-sama merely smirks, as she observes the situation.
"So, it has come to this," Moka-sama says with a smirk. She then turns to Ranma. "By the way, you have a cute butt."
"Huh?" Ranma says. "What the hell does THAT mean...?"
"And a bit dense, too," Moka-sama said, as she turned to face the offending ogre. "But business before pleasure…or maybe a bit of both…"
"Why…why can't I move?" Saizou-ogre says nervously. "I shouldn't be afraid of a woman, vampire or not-!"
"Then fear this," Moka-sama says, as she chambered her leg and-
POW!
THOOM!
"Arrrrggh-!" Saizou says, as he careened into hillside again.
"And the winner is Moka-sama!" yells a bat.
"Hey, what do I get?" Ranma yells. "Wait, why am I talking to a bat?"
Moka-sama looks at Ranma.
"You okay?" Moka-sama asked evenly.
"Er, yeah, I am," Ranma replied evenly. He wondered whether or not he would have to fight his new friend next, especially against that powerful cross-kick of hers...
"Good. My cross, please?"
"Oh, okay," says Ranma, as he hands the cross back to Moka-sama. "So…what's the story?"
"In due time, stud," Moka-sama says. "But I will tell you this much, only a person with a noble heart could ever remove the cross."
CLAK!
With that, Moka-sama begins to glow.
"Be seeing you," Moka-sama says, as she reverts to "normal".
"Oh," Moka-chan said, as she begins to fall towards the ground.
"I got you," Ranma says, as he catches the vampire girl.
"Ranma…RANMA!" Moka says, as she manages to stand. "You're bleeding!"
"Aw, this is nothing," Ranma said, as he tried to laugh off the situation. "It's just a scratch."
"No, I must insist," Moka says, as she administers Ranma's wounds. She then stops.
"What's wrong?" Ranma asked.
"This scent," Moka says, as she sniffs Ranma's blood. "It's SO intoxicating."
Suddenly, Moka suddenly leaps at Ranma's neck.
"CHU!"
"Ah, stop doing that!" Ranma yelled. He was more annoyed than hurt, but still, he didn't want to be anyone's "juice box".
It will definitely be a long school term, that's for sure...
Tbc.
Next time: As Ranma settles in his new school, Moka discovers that she has a rivalry with another girl…more like a succubus. See you then!
