Author notes: I better get my butt into gear. Here is the next chapter of Goddess of Mine. I'm still requesting someone to make a Rumble Roses and Ranma crossover it doesn't matter if it is the first or the second game but be advised I don't have any knowledge of Rumble Roses XX and that I'll leave it up to the abilities of the author. Whoever takes this request will have kudos from me and I'll make it a priority to update a chapter of one of my stories of his/her choosing. Please though make it with some effort not those pieces of junk that people put up with a few lines.
Disclaimer: Ranma ½ and Ah my Goddess are not owned by me simple as that so don't ask me if I do since that's cleared up on with the story.
Ranma's eyebrow twitched as he sat while Belldandy placed his lunch in front of him. "Just when I thought my life was working out for the better. It suddenly does a complete one eighty." He muttered.
"Well that's the story of your life isn't it Ranma?" Urd said while hovering and reading a magazine for swimsuits.
"I'm talking about when you showed up. My daily life is getting really close to Nerima again thanks to you!" Ranma shouted.
"Oh what makes you say that? How can my stunning appearance cause you such trouble?" Urd asked looking up from the magazine.
"Do I need to explain? Fine I will, how's about that time you were trying to convince me to be more intimate with uh…" Ranma blushed and glanced at Belldandy who just finished serving his rice. He coughed. "Anyway you told me that the problem was my shyness in reality you crashed the Yggdra… computer thingy and using it as scheme."
"You still hung up over that?" Urd asked.
"Not really." Ranma admitted. "But you were pushing it with that whole Nekomi Queen contest, really did you have to stuff me in such a thing I wanted no part in that contest."
"It's not like it's a big deal you didn't win." Urd said.
"Yes I'm really happy for Belldandy for that." Ranma said catching the smile that Belldandy gave him out of the corner of his eye. "But the fact remains on what you did."
"That's all water under the bridge." Urd said.
"Urd I'm not…" Ranma was cut off as Belldandy spoke.
"All done." She said.
"Oh, Thanks Bell-chan, Itadakimasu." Ranma began to dig into his meal the conversation with Urd temporarily forgotten as he ate little did he know more trouble was brewing.
In one of the dorm complexes in a room shared by Ranma's high school friends Hiroshi and Daisuke, these two also attended Nekomi and they were jealous of Ranma bagging himself such a cute fiancée and having her hot sister living with them as well.
"That Ranma, why does he get all the girls?" Hiroshi grumbled.
"Yeah he probably doesn't even know what to do with any of them." Daisuke agreed.
"Man if I was Ranma right now, I'd do this… and that… heheheheh." (Insert hentai thoughts.)
"Yeah and that Urd if I could get together with her… (Insert hentai thoughts once more.)
Hiroshi dropped out of his daydreams. "By the way Dai-chan, why'd you buy that thing?" Hiroshi pointed at the CD they bought at the antique shop.
"I don't know I just picked it up and I wanted to buy it." Daisuke said.
"Well what is it?" Hiroshi asked.
"I don't know, says Demon CD, creepy." Daisuke said.
Hiroshi scratched his head and brought out the CD player. "Well we might as well see what it plays." Daisuke nodded and popped the CD in and pressed the play button. After a few seconds no sound came out. "Just great Dai-chan, you bought a CD that's probably all scratched."
"Piece of junk." Daisuke said in agreement he reached for the player to take out the CD then suddenly the player began to shake both boys crabbed away from the CD player that was shaking like it was possessed. Hiroshi and Daisuke were very familiar with strange things happening after all they lived in Nerima and were buddies with Ranma Saotome in high school and a lot of strange things happened. They also knew after experiencing it themselves that most of the time they should avoid these strange things. So both Hiroshi and Daisuke bugged out of their dorm room and wouldn't return for another hour. Only a few seconds later the player popped open and a shining beam of black light flared out from it. When it faded a blonde woman dressed in a tomboyish outfit with red slash like marks on her face was left in its place.
"Ah finally I'm free from that thing. Damn goddesses sealing me in that thing." Marller looked around puzzled. "Where is everybody?" She then blanched when she spotted a figurine of a cat waving a paw at her. "Ugh good luck charms my cue to leave here." Marller left the dorm already plotting her revenge on the goddesses that imprisoned her in the CD of Kami-sama.
Ranma was practicing strikes with a wooden post as Belldandy hung up sheets nearby when she jerked at a familiar energy spike. 'It can't be… No it is… a devil and it's Marller.' Belldandy thought.
Ranma noticed Belldandy's troubled features and stopped practicing and walked up to her. "Something wrong Bell-chan?" He asked.
Belldandy snatched up Ranma's hand. "Ranma please come with me." She literally dragged Ranma back into the house and into his room. Where she began to perform a spell.
"Bell-chan what's going on you look very worried." Ranma said as Belldandy finished her barrier.
"I'm sorry Ranma it seems a devil is nearby." Belldandy said.
"Devil as in a demon?" Ranma asked.
"Yes just like the gods and goddesses there is another branch in Nifelhiem in your terms you call it Hell." Belldandy said.
"So what's got you so worried about this devil?" Ranma asked.
"This particular devil is one me and Urd sealed for crimes against the system now it seems she has been freed if so she has surely detected me and she will probably target you." Belldandy said hanging her head.
"Story of my life." Ranma muttered realizing he was once again was in a bad situation.
"I'm so sorry Ranma I'm bringing you so much trouble that you shouldn't be mixed up in." Belldandy said looking downtrodden
"It's alright Bell-chan not like I haven't been in similar situations" Ranma said giving her a smile.
Belldandy returned the smile. "In the meantime please stay within this barrier it should protect you from Marller." A voice called out at the front entrance something about a delivery. "I'll answer the door Ranma please stay here." Belldandy left to answer the door leaving Ranma alone or so he thought.
"Goddesses, angels, devils, my life just keeps getting better and better." Ranma muttered as he rubbed the back of his head. He twitched as he realized that something was wrong in the room. 'I'm not alone in here.' He thought. His eyes scanned the room before he called out. "I know you're here come on out!"
An evil chuckle emanated from his training pack. "Well, well it seems you could detect my presence quite impressive for a human." Red energy emanated in waves from his pack to form a familiar blonde figure.
"Who are you?" Ranma said as he eased into a defensive stance.
The figure gave a mock bow. "I am Marller Devil first class, category one, unlimited license."
"So you're the devil that Bell-chan was talking about." Ranma said seriously before his face dropped into confusion. "I thought you'd be red with horns and a tail with a spade on the end." He stated.
Marller face-faulted her legs twitching in the air she quickly recovered her left eye twitching in irritation. "Red with horns and a tail…" She muttered. "So that's what you think we look like?"
Ranma scratched the back of his head. "Well I guess I'm wrong now." He said and chuckled before he remembered he was with a devil. "Anyway what are you doing here?"
Marller narrowed her eyes at Ranma. "Do you know how much trouble it can be for us with a first class goddess living here on Midgard?"
"Not a clue." Ranma said. "But something tells me it ain't gonna good for you."
"Damn right it is!" Marller said getting into Ranma's face. "A high level goddess living on Midgard influences the positive things around her add that to the fact that you are the Chaos factor there's no telling how much will be influenced. To regain the balance something drastic has to happen."
"Something tells this drastic thing includes me." Ranma said his tone carrying an edge.
Marller grinned. "If you're gone Belldandy will have no reason to stay and return to heaven and the balance will be restored." Crimson energy began to expand from her hands. "Nothing personal but I'm going to have to end your existence here." Ranma backed away from the energy until his back hit the wall growling he looked around and found no other way to get out. He growled as Marller laughed at his expression. "Relax it will all be over soon."
Ranma fought down his panic and concentrated and he pulled out all of his ki from his reserves he knew he couldn't afford to mess around there would be no second chances especially with someone this powerful. A blue aura formed around Ranma and expanded, Ranma concentrated his aura forward and pushed with all his might against Marller's energy, for a few seconds the two clashed evenly then Ranma's aura pushed back Marller's, sparks flew from Marller's hands forcing her to stop and step back. She looked a Ranma with a mixture of surprise and praise.
"That's quite impressive, possessing that much power to be able to stop my spell, looks like I have to put in a bit more effort." Crimson energy began to expand once again from Marller's hands and this time when it made contact with Ranma's aura it pushed it back effortlessly. Ranma gritted his teeth and tried to focus harder and call every bit of his strength but no matter what he did the crimson energy continued its advance.
'This is it.' He thought as the energy approached four inches from him. Then the door to his room slid open framed inside was Belldandy a mask of worry on her face. Seeing Ranma's dire predicament her hands flew forward as fast as the words she spoke and released a counter spell. The energy flew from her hands crashing into Marller's shattering it. The demoness reeled back from the backlash of her spell being countered.
"Damn you Belldandy!" Marller yelled out as she clenched her hands and gritted her teeth as Belldandy rushed over to Ranma who collapsed breathing heavily from his efforts.
"Ranma are you all right?" Belldandy said as she cradled his head in her lap her voice filled with worry.
Ranma gave her a weak smile. "I-I'm fine Bell-chan, I-I just…. just need to rest a… little bit." Ranma drifted into an exhausted slumber. Belldandy breathed a sigh of relief as Ranma's face became peaceful in his sleep.
"Uh." A disgusted groan came from Marller. "Somebody tell me where the toilet is I feel like throwing up from this scene before me."
Belldandy gently placed Ranma's head off her lap before she stood and faced Marller. "You leave him alone Marller." She said in an even tone.
"Last time I checked you have no authority over me, neither does "he" as far as I'm concerned I'm doing my job." Marller replied smugly.
"I mean it Marller leave Ranma alone he has nothing to do with what happened back then." Belldandy said.
"So you think that's what it is?" Marller asked before she laughed. "Oh yes that's part of it but hardly the majority, Ranma's unorthodox wish has granted you extended time here on Midgard, although despite your presence him being the chaos factor your influence has only slightly improved his rather chaotic life, however everything else around him has improved because of you being here. The balance is shifting and the only way to stop it is to stop the client."
"I won't allow you to do that. I will protect Ranma with my life if I have too, as a first class goddess and his fiancée." Belldandy said.
Marller's grinned wickedly. "Is that so? So you're going to fight huh?" Belldandy didn't answer in an instant both of their hands were held forward voices chanting out incantations at high-speed, crimson energy clashed with blue and white. However Marller was winning this battle of power. "Looks like you've reached your limit Belldandy it must really suck having to be a goody two shoes and wear those limiters huh? Marller sneered as Belldandy struggled to hold back the demoness's spell.
"Stop this right now Marller or I'll be forced to go to greater lengths to do so." Belldandy managed to get out as she struggled.
"What can you possibly do right now to stop me?" Marller yelled back pressing her attack. Belldandy struggled but she was at the limit of power that was allowed by the limiter and now she was being pushed back. As Marller pressed her attack a figure floated silently behind her.
"Hi Marller, how are you doing?" A voice said from behind the demoness. Marller turned her head and her eyes widened.
"Urd!" She yelled out.
Urd held up a neko waving a paw statue and gave a light toss. "I gotcha a present while I was out." As soon as the statue touched Marller large amounts of static erupted from the demoness after a few seconds of yelling Marller fell over twitching all the way the good luck charm sat comically on her chest.
Belldandy rushed to Ranma's fallen form when Marller was subdued. "Ranma are you all right?" She lifted Ranma's head and placed in her lap.
Ranma's eyes flickered open and he gave her a tired smile. "Oh hey Bell-chan, did we win?" He asked.
Belldandy let out a sigh of relief before she smiled back. "Yes we've subdued Marller at the moment."
"You rock Bell-chan." Ranma said chuckling. "Excuse me but I'm really… tired." Ranma dozed off again and Belldandy began to softly comb her fingers through his hair as he napped on her lap. Urd smiled at the scene before frowning and glanced behind where Marller was supposed to be restrained, the demoness had fled while the goddesses attention was elsewhere.
"I guess we'll have to search for the Kami-sama's CD of sealing if we want to be prepared for Marller again." Urd said to herself and walked off to get a pan of water for scrying. However unfortunately for Urd she'd soon find out that during the confrontation with Marller Hiroshi and Daisuke returned to their dorm and trashed the CD in an effort to crush the so called cursed item and then tossed the pieces into a steam with ofuda they got from the antique shop. Let's just say Hiroshi and Daisuke will have to redecorate after Urd's little visit to retrieve the CD.
Author notes: Finally done although not as long as I wanted it to be. I realize that I haven't updated in awhile and unfortunately I bring bad news in this chapter. I'm taking down Ranma Crusade I know people have been anticipating the next chapter but I realize that I went into that story half cocked and I've reached a dead end. If someone wants to take it up be my guest inform me and I'll send you the chapters to be modified and whatever. But in place of this I'm starting another fic hopefully it won't end up the same fate but since now one's ever completed one maybe I'll have a better incentive to do so. It's a Ranma and Guyver crossover people I also have other ideas but that will have to wait till another story is done. So enjoy this chapter I hope you like it I'll try to get the chapter of Returner Ranma and the Dead or Alive Ranma Extreme up somewhere next month, so until next time.
