YAAAHAAAAA! BACK AGAIN WITH ANOTHER ENTRY! MWAAHAAA! EAT THIS, DIAL-UP MODEM!
Anyway. I´m back once again. While I wrote this chapter, I was trying to make Rebelious 25, but it´s to no use. My Writer´s Block is bigger than the Everest. So, I made this one! And probably make another story because I have a curse. I always have ideas. Ideas to BEGIN stories, not to END them. Hell of a curse, uh?

Enough of that. I have reviews to reply! Yay! Again I´ve got my touch back! But mostly, I thank you for standing and waiting me all this while. This story WILL be long. Hey, It´s going to be the Full Manga story with the add of the Shamps-Kree marriage! So, Now, I´ll reply! Here we go!

Underdark Ranger: Of course Akane´s outta here! I was discussing a possible and maybe sure pairing for Ranma. NOT UKYO so there! Actually, I really consider your opinion of Akane at being the slave of the kidnappers if Ranma didn´t butt in. Actually, WHY THE HELL DOES HE DO THAT? CAN´T HE SIMPLY TELL HER: "Stuff it, Save yourself." HOW MUCH DOES THAT TAKE? And Nabiki...Yeah, You´re right about that one. I think she´d be willing to do anything for the guy. On another note, I´m still having your character in my mind in case I need him, so don´t let your hopes down! NEXT!
L33t N1nja Bor1s:(Like the presentation, buddy?) One of my assured reviewers. What can I say? Still haven´t deciphered Kree´s original place of birth in my mind. So, keep trying! NEXT!
DerektheRogue: This was the guy I was discussing the pairing. Knows quite a bunch about this Anime. So, Tell me what you think of this chapter. NEXT!
Um...That´s it? I thought I had more... On with the story!

Chapter 2

The trip to the shore of west China was long. Almost two weeks passed through that. The quartet had a lot of adventures and fighting, mostly saving villagers from some rampant creature too powerful for the weak ones to beat it. And of course, the occasional run through the field, escaping from furious villagers because of some idiotness Genma did.

The relationship between Kree and Shampoo went sky-high in that short time. They still hadn't made love, but they weren't reluctant to show expressions of caring publicly. Most of the time they were hand-in-hand too.

The Saotomes were confused by their acting but didn't say anything. Even after that day of the wedding, when they saw them being their usual, they didn't tease them or said anything. Both tried to remain in their true forms, but for some event or another, they couldn't keep it more than just a few hours before being splashed.

Kree still hadn't shown them his cursed form and strangely, water seemed to stop when it was going to strike him. Even for a cursed person from Jusenkyo, water did seem to avoid him like the plague. Unless he was taking a hot bath, of course.

Although, the trio consisting of the younger Saotome, Kree and Shampoo seemed to evolve into a good friendship. Ranma respected their marriage and their personal wishes, but that didn't stop him from having a slight pang of jealousy sometimes. When Ranma asked what he thought of married life Kree simply replied:

"It's great, once you find that someone that really loves you and you love back. But don't worry, you'll find that special one soon." Even when Ranma insisted in telling him how he knew that, he simply shrugged and smiled.

Finally, one day, already passed noon…

"Ahhh, the beach." Ranma commented as the sea wind passed by his face and batted his pigtail. His eyes closed to feel it better. By his side, Kree was doing the same. But to a more deep level of feeling. After having the Ryu-Ken training, you get connected to the elements that surround you.

"Mh…this feels great…" Kree replied and tilted his head so he could see his wife. "What do you think?" He asked smiling.

"It's…calming and relaxing." She replied and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Ok, enough for now. You'll have plenty of that during the trip by boat." Genma ordered.

"Sod off. If you are in a rush, go on." Kree replied slightly frowning but his smile still up.

"You coming, boy?" Genma asked and Ranma nodded. He turned to the pair.

"Don't worry about us. We'll catch you up." Kree smiled even more. Ranma shrugged and both Saotomes left. After buying their tickets of third class with only 500 measly yens to spare, they entered the boat. Five minutes later, the boat left dock without either Kree or Shampoo.

"Idiots. Now you'll lose track of us." Ranma said to him as the dock turned into something smaller than an ant and the dark dusk covered everything.

"So, are you ready to catch a boat?" Kree asked with a sure-of-himself smirk. They had moved to the beach, where no one was and they had privacy.

"How? Do you know how to swim faster than 20 knots?" She asked confused.

"Who said anything about swimming? I prefer the other option." He pointed his finger up.

"Sky? Flying? But how?" She was clearly confused.

"I think it is time that you see my cursed form. Just hold on to this. I don't want it to break now." He said and left his backpack and clothes by her. After that, he withdrew a thermo from his backpack and filled it with water from the sea. He tapped the hole of it and heated the contents. When he removed the hand, it was hot. "Here, now, close it and douse me when we reach the boat. And one other thing, hold tight to the things." He asked and she nodded even more confused.

"Good. Let's stretch the wings a bit." He smiled and called forth some water form the sea. When it floated over it head, it stopped being contained by the technique and it soaked Kree, triggering his curse.

His skin turned scaled and black as the first and more impacting shock. Then, he grew in height an outstanding height of fifty feet. His feet grew and a long 30 feet tail erupted. A pair of forty-foot long wings formed from his back and stretched almost immediately after the transformation of less than second took place. His eyes turned into those exactly the same as they changed in the wedding day. His arms seemed powerful enough to carry a ton on them, but his hands changed into three claws, the same as his feet fingers.

Shampoo gasped in surprise. "A…dragon?" She asked impacted. Kree-ryu turned to her and nodded. With his head, he motioned for her to climb on his back when he lay down on the beach. She picked up everything and secured herself the best she could. She gave him a tap on the back to mark that she was ready. He took flight and after gaining some altitude, then he sped up to more than 100 miles an hour.

On his back, the wind was almost unbearable but he noted this and raised his head so it wouldn't affect his wife. "Thank you." She said and for almost a second, she could swear that the dragon smiled.

Half an hour later, and full night, both landed at the crow's nest. He remained flapping as she carried their belongings to the nest. After that, he flapped on top of it and she splashed him with the hot water.

"Thanks." He said and got dressed. After checking the surroundings, they got down from the nest and looked for the Saotome's room. Luckily they could find one of the ship's crew and he directed them.

Even in third class, the room was enough spacious to let six people sleep perfectly in it. So, as there wasn't anyone in there, they placed a pair of futons side-by-side but at the opposite wall from the beds the Saotomes used.

"So, we kind of…sneaked in here?" Shampoo asked smiling as they left the room calmly in search of the glutton father and son.

They didn't have to look too far as they entered the restaurant in the ship. The buffet was clean except for a corner where the two people of their search were fighting over a chicken. The rest of the people just stared at their appetite.

"Hey, guys." Kree greeted to the pair.

"Hey, Kree, Shampoo." Ranma replied without letting them any attention as he was losing the fight over the chicken. Suddenly, it dawned on him and he lost. "What are you doing here?" He asked surprised.

"Told you we would catch you up." Shampoo replied smiling and grabbed Kree's arm.

"B-But We…The Boat…Sea…how did you do it?" He asked finally. Kree smiled.

"Tell you later." He replied. "Now, Madame, do you want something to eat? My treat." He offered with a short bow to her.

"That would be a delight, monsieur." She replied following suit. He offered his arm and she took it before walking over to a table and ordering something.

"So, what do you think?" He asked expectantly. His onyx eyes glittered.

"Of what?" She raised a brow in confusion.

"My curse, of course!" He answered hastily.

"Oh! It's…impressive. Cute, but impressive." She replied.

"Cute? Never heard of someone who actually liked dragons." He smiled.

"But they are cute, in fact, dragons are beautiful. People just don't understand who to see their beauty."

"Completely agree with you there, dear." He replied with a curt nod.

"I wish I could be a dragon, too…" She sighed in daydreaming. "The whole world would be nothing. Just flying carelessly around the world…" She sighed again.

"That might be a problem…Even if we went to Jusenkyo; I could get there in two days flying. But even if we get there…Mh…No, forget it." He shook his head.

"What are you babbling about?" She asked frowning.

"Um, nothing." He replied feeling a bit uneasy. Every time he tried to hide something, she could read him like a book. It was so easy for her.

"Tell me. Or else…" Her smile grew devilish. He gulped. Her "elses…" Were not what he had an idea of "punishment". If making out until almost passing out was punishment, then submit him to the "Chinese Torture" for a year! Not that he hadn't already faced that "Torture" in the last weeks.

"Er…I think I prefer the…else…" He replied cautiously.

"Oh?" She raised a brow. "So you like my punishments?"

"Who wouldn't?" He replied smiling and raising his hands.

"Excuse me." The waiter said placing their food in front of them.

"Thank you." Both replied and the waiter left. The food was gone in a special way. Both staring at each other in a tease war. At last, she won.

"Crow's nest. Five minutes." She said leaving the table. So, it fell onto him to pay the bill and go to the nest. He sighed but smiled. Three minutes later, he was walking through the deck. A woman covered in only a towel was running after something and shouting.

"Pervert! Give me back my panties!" Kree sighed shaking his head. A minute later, he was at the crow's nest sitting against the wall with his eyes closed. He didn't need to know who was climbing the stairs towards his place. With a minuscule focus, he carried her into the nest with the help of the wind.

"Aiyaa!" She shouted surprised. Three seconds later she was next to him.

"Liked the trip?" He asked smiling but still not opening his eyes.

"Ho-How did you do that?" She asked surprised but sitting next to him and resting her head on his shoulder.

"Let's not worry about that now." He finished and passed his arm around her shoulder. The night wind was very peaceful. It's too good to blow it off talking about martial arts now. He thought and closed his eyes again.

Hours passed that way in silence. Until she grew tired of it and kissed him. He wasn't taken aback and he kissed back immediately after.

Night was gone when the two were thrown out as the strong wind carried them back on the deck. He grabbed her before she fell as he landed graciously and slowly on the deck. "There you are." He said and smiled. "Let's go sleep." He said and she agreed by grabbing his hand.

Four days passed normally as they reached half the trip. The teen trio were at the gym, a special room dojo-like was reserved for martial artists. It looked like the company had many of them and before their ships were sunk; they preferred to save them by creating those rooms.

From the second day at the ship that Ranma discovered the place, they kept most of their time practicing, well, Ranma and Shampoo. Kree just kept sitting and looking at them with a small smile for hours. But today was enough.

"Hey, man. Let's fight!" Ranma offered.

"No. I don't want to."

"Oh, come on. You keep there for entire hours! You're going to get weak if you don't move!" Shampoo exclaimed. He sighed and got up.

"All right. Both of you against me." He said after bending his head to both sides. The cracks from that made the other two's eyes grow. "Even if you are my wife I won't go easy on you." He pointed to Shampoo.

"That's what I want." She said matter-of-factly. Kree went to the middle of the room and simply waited for the other two to start.

"So…when are you going to move?" He asked when neither of them entered stance.

"You don't have a stance?" Ranma asked.

"Don't need it." Kree simply replied and smiled friendly. Ranma and Shampoo entered stance finally. "When you want, we can begin." Kree announced.

Both opponents shrugged and charged. Kree looked at the two of them incoming and smiled to self. He simply extended his arms in direction to both of them.

The incredibly fast wind launched them towards the wall where they impacted, leaving the two of them watching double for several seconds. Even after that smash hit, both got up and charged again. Shampoo with a flying kick and Ranma with a chop.

Kree ducked and grabbed Shampoo's leg when she passed over him, making her face-plant on the floor. Ranma used the momentum to punch Kree, who was taken aback by the power, that way, allowing Ranma to continue the punishment. But it didn't got far when he used a kick that Kree blocked.

Kree smirked. They say water is the best to control up-raging masses, let's try that theory. He thought and focusing, he extended his free arm to Ranma and letting the power of the water form an aqua-blast that made Ranma-Chan fly towards the wall.

He didn't have time to breathe when a kick to his back pushed him to the front. He growled at the power his wife possessed and her great aim. He threw himself on the floor and rolled over it just to come back up after avoiding a knee from her.

Before she could move and remove her knee from the hole in the floor, she was being hurled against another wall by another aqua-blast from her side. Damn. She thought feeling the water wash her over.

Kree walked to the two of them and helped them up with his characteristic friendly smile.

When both of them were back up, he sat down and looked at both of them. "Now, am I growing weak?" He teased.

"No…" She grumbled looking to another side. Again, using the wind, he made her go airborne. From there, he turned her so she was horizontally and looking at him.

"How was that?" He asked again.

"Let me down." She said flatly. He smirked and approached her.

"You're in no condition to be requesting something, miss." He said softly.

"Let me down or there will be an else!" She shouted.

"Oh? How come?" He continued but this time he placed her slowly over the floor.

She crossed her arms and left in a rush with her head high. Ranma-Chan turned to go after her.

"No." Kree ordered. "Leave her. She's just playing." Ranma-Chan raised a brow in confusion. "When you get married, you'll understand when your wife is playing or going serious. For now, keep practicing." Even weirder that someone was ordering Ranma was that she was complying with the orders.

"I don't understand." Ranma-Chan said suddenly as she was passing through some complicated Anything Goes katas. "How did you beat both of us so simply?" She asked still practicing.

"Ryu-Ken." He replied simply. Ranma-Chan froze during a kata and looked at him.

"What's that?" Kree's smile grew.

"Dragon-Fist." If Ranma-Chan's eyes were plates, Kree could eat on them judging by their size.

"Dr-Dragon-Fist?" He gulped. "Wh-Where did you find rabid dragons?" Kree raised a brow.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that you need rabid dragons to learn the dragon-fist, right? My pop used rabid c-c-cats in me so I could learn the Neko-ken." Ranma-Chan explained.

"The cat-fist? No, that's plain wrong! You don't need that! It's extremely dangerous!" Kree replied impacted at that revelation.

"You should have told my pop before…" Ranma-Chan grumbled. "Now I run away from c-c-cats, avoid them like the plague."

"It's nothing surprising…that way of teaching the Cat-Fist is the last resource, there are other ways to do that…" Kree replied. "Anyway, that is what made you think of rabid dragons?" Ranma nodded. "I can tell, it's not really wrong but…if a rabid dragon attacks you, you don't have much chance of survival…" Kree explained.

"Yes, I see your point." Ranma-Chan replied. "But what does it do?"

"I think it is the most powerful animal fist. You have the Neko-ken and it triggers when your fear for cats goes extreme, right?" Ranma-Chan nodded again. "Well, I learned the Ryu-Ken in a different way. I cursed myself at Jusenkyo with a dragon curse. Also the most dangerous from all of them and the one kept most secretive. You know that of the yeti-riding-blah-blah?" He nodded again. "This is more dangerous. If you lose your mind in dragon state, thing that is easy unless you have some mind strength, you'll destroy everything that alters the ecosystem with the elements. In short, every human structure and being." She gasped. "And dragons are very difficult to stop. Only magic can do some considerable damage to them and magic-users are gone from centuries ago." Kree explained.

"Wow, you seem to know a lot about that!" She commented and Kree smiled.

"I had to. I can't commit a stupidity by acquiring some technique really powerful that I can't control. I had to study a lot during my travels and I think I did a pretty good job if I didn't lose my mind days ago." He said back.

"Care to teach me?" Ranma-Chan's eyes lit up.

"Sorry, I already told you. I can't." He replied and sighed. "Anyway, there's something I want to try and see if I can do it. Want to look?" He offered and Ranma nodded. Kree withdrew a black book from out of the blue. "Let's see…Orichalcum…Mythril…Adamantium…" He read and looked at Ranma. "What of those ones would you make a sword out of?" He asked, his eyes glowing in excitement.

"I think Mythril. But I don't know much about the rest." Ranma replied scratching his navel.

"Good choice. Durability, flexibility and feather-weight." Kree recited and got up. "It says here…34…23…11…I think I can get that." He said to self. They traded places when Kree stood in the middle of the "Dojo" and Ranma sat down. "Mh…Let's see…" He walked over to where Shampoo made a hole in the floor and removed a big chunk of wood. He withdrew a small knife and cut it roughly into the shape of a blade. "I'll change the rest." He shrugged and commenced by leaving the "Blade" on floor in front of him.

"First, Earth." He said as the Dojo's air suddenly went heavy. A small brown ball emerged in front of Kree. It started growing until it was bigger than a basketball. Then it entered into the wood, setting it to glow brown. "Second, Fire." Another red ball started to grow, this one a bit smaller. Again, it entered the wood and the glow changed to a red-brownish colour. "And finally, Wind." A third light-blue ball, the smallest of the three floated next to the others. It mixed with the other two in the "Blade" and it turned to glow white. Kree read his book again. "It says, mix up with some of your ki in it…Oh, well. Let's get started." Kree smiled and summoned a forth ball. The biggest of them and added it to the mixture of elements and wood. A sudden explosion of light and power emerged from the Dojo.

Ranma blocked his face from the bright light. It was too much to bear. "Yaaaaa!" He heard Kree shout. This time, the light turned into heat. The Dojo was more alike an oven. Ranma started to breathe heavily seconds after the temperature rose over the 40 ºC.

Ten seconds later, the place cooled down a small bit and the light started to dim. "Now, it says splash with plenty water." He heard Kree recite once again. The light and remaining heat suddenly dropped to normal. Ranma looked at Kree, whose smile almost split his head. A bright almost white katana blade was floating in front of him. Only the hilt and the guard were missing for it to be complete. "Check it out. I have a new sword!" Kree exclaimed and made a few swings from where he could grab it.

Ranma approached him with a surprised face. "Th-That's Mythril?" He asked stupefied.

"Yup. I just created the legendary metal. Out of wood, nonetheless." Kree smiled even more if it was possible.

"What's going on here?" Shampoo's worried voice made them turn. "What happened? I sensed a huge amount of power radiating from here…" She said walking to them.

"No big deal, our little friend here, created Mythril from almost nothing." Ranma spat with a side-smirk.

"W-What?" She asked. Saying that she was shocked was an understatement.

"He's right. Check it out." He said handing her the blade. She grabbed it and made some basic moves.

"Impossible!" She exclaimed. "I-It weights nothing!"

"That's one of the properties of Mythril. Could you give it back to me, please? I need to finish the katana. Thank you." He said grabbing it. "Hey, I'll go to our cabin to finish this katana. And go to sleep, I'm tired." He announced and after kissing his wife, he left stumbling as the power was leaked down from the fight and the sword making.

Ten minutes later, the katana was barely continued but he was wasted and asleep. Half an hour later, Shampoo entered too the room completely exhausted. Her battle with Kree and an intense battle with Ranma left her tired too. Her movement as she changed clothes woke him up slightly.

"Um?" He asked scratching his eye with a fist.

"Move…" She ordered half-asleep. She had her own futon, but…well, she was tired and didn't want to sleep freezing. He complied and she lay down next to him. Immediately after she did so, he rounded his arm around her and shortened the distance between them. She just placed her head on his chest. Night fell.

An hour later, Ranma-Chan entered the room yawning. Her training had gone fairly good and the technique she was practicing that Shampoo gave her only tips, was almost at her reach. She looked around the cabin and found the married couple smiling in dreams.

"I swear that those two are for the other." Ranma-Chan stated and removed her shirt. She bent her head to both sides.

"Love…you…" She heard Kree say. Her brows lifted and she smirked.

"Darling…" Shampoo replied completely sub-consciously.

"I may have something to black-mail now…" Ranma-Chan plotted evilly.

Another two weeks, and the ship had arrived Japan's port. The quartet descended slowly and looking around. It still was the same. The strong smell of fish reached them and their stomachs growled. A day before, Ranma and Genma had finally finished all the food on the ship. Now they were starving.

"Man. When I see a restaurant, I swear that I'm going to eat at least ten dishes!" Kree exclaimed in a bad mood.

"I'll help you with that, but we'll have to order twenty…" Shampoo replied and he nodded.

"You promised." He finished. The four started walking towards the Nerima district. Place where the Saotomes were headed.

"PERVERT! Give me back my panties!" A woman shouted from behind them. A lightning-speed red blur passed through the four of the closely followed by the woman who only had a towel on her.

"Who's that? It's the second time I saw her like that." Kree pointed casually and Shampoo raised a brow. Kree noted the look.

"But I didn't mean that way!" He replied defensively. "I mean pursuing that…thing." He explained and she nodded slowly. Kree drop-sweated in fear. It was never a good idea to make an Amazon suspicious of someone. Even more when that someone is her husband.

"Boy, I have something to tell you." Genma started to Ranma. Immediately the married two stopped talking and started hearing.

"What?" Ranma replied growling. Obviously he wasn't in a mood to deal with what his father could say.

"We're going -"

"Food!" Kree exclaimed suddenly pointing to a nearby restaurant. The three teens looked in hunger to the place before two of them had noticed that Kree had already disappeared on his way to it. They quickly followed suit.

Kree sat on a chair from one of the outdoor tables and the waiter came just when the other two sat down too. "Good evening." He saluted and the three replied politely. "What are you going to have?" He asked and only a look was shared between the three.

"Could you please lend me the menu?" Kree asked and the waiter did so. "Except…this…and this, everything." He smiled to his face-fault.

"Are you…serious?" He asked. His eyes as big as plates. Seeing the three nods, the waiter marched into mumbling about bottom-less teens and expensive tips.

"After I eat, I'll be able to accept whatever thing you ask me." Kree said to Shampoo and relaxed on his chair. And don't give a damn… He added mentally, as he closed his eyes and lost the devilish smile on her face.

Ranma changed his view from Kree to Shampoo and raised a brow. "Do you think married couples treat each other like yourselves?" He asked suddenly. Kree frowned but remained in his actual position.

"Actually, some married couples hit each other all the time and others…well, you get the idea." Shampoo smiled to his beet-red blush. A minute later, Genma appeared besides them.

"Boy, we have to go." He announced. It was not normal for him to actually give up on food for a different quest.

"Not now." Ranma simply replied. The married couple smiled barely visibly to his rebellious attitude. It was a good thing that he was starting to be more reluctant to follow his idiotic father's requests.

Just after that, the waiter came back with a cart filled with food. Almost falling over some places. The three teens' eyes twinkled in awe and hunger. The waiter followed his job and placed a plate in front of everyone and left not wanting to know what was going to happen.

(And the battle begins…)

Kree looked at both of them for a split second before using the wind to make their heads go back with their bodies far from the table. But he kept Shampoo much closer than him. It was unfair that she had eaten as much as he and being left out was out of question.

He began eating at light-speed while the other two had to catch up with the table first.

An hour later, they were filled and sighing in joy and bliss. "Not many things are better than eating good food." Kree commented.

"Motion seconded." Ranma pointed and Shampoo mumbled around the same. The waiter appeared with the bill. It was far more than 30k yen. Two of the three teens' eyes bulged out but Kree remained cool.

"I'll get this. Next time, you guys pay." He replied and left for the bathroom. The two remaining at the table shared confused looks and shrugged. A minute later, Kree came back, a smile planted on his lips. "Ready. Shall we go?"

So, what do you think? Love, hate, worth the wait or should be buried for the rest of eternity? Whatever you think, send it! Next issue, The quartet arrives the Tendo´s! Stay tuned! Or try to...Depends on how my writer´s block affects me with next chapter...

Just for the after note. I changed Kree´s power to a lesser one because I realized (If yelling is realization then...) That he was WAAYYYY too powerful. So hope you like a less powered Kree!
