Inu-Ranma Chapter 3: Explanations

Mrs. Higurashi placed tea in front of them. "Here you are."

"Arigato gozaimatsu." Ranma bowed politely.

She smiled and walked away.

"Her mother is as sweet as Kasumi." Ranma noted.

Kagome sipped the tea and sat it down again. "Ranma…let's start it off with this. One day I was off to school when my kid brother was looking for Buyo, my pet cat."

"A c-cat you say…you don't suppose…" Looks around.

"What?" Kagome asked.

"Ino, continue."

Kagome nodded. "I found him but suddenly a demon centipede pulled me into the hidden well at our shrine."

"A hidden well?" He repeated.

Kagome nodded. "I was thus plunged into Japan's ancient past."

Ranma jumped in surprise. "Japan's what… that's impossible."

"I couldn't believe it either, that's not even the end of it, I soon found Inu-yasha enchanted to the same tree I have in my back yard."

"Hah, what a loser being shone to a girl strapped to a tree, and a cute one at that."

Kagome clapped her hands on her cheeks and blushed. "K-Kawaii?!"

Inu-yasha bashed him on the head with his elbow.

Ranma rubbed his head. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you're jealous."

Kagome appeared in front of Inu-yasha. "Are you Inu-yasha?"

Inu-yasha turned slightly crimson at the suddenly appearing girl. He looked away. "Keh, you don't know any better, you all got it wrong."

Ranma looked at the timid hanyou. "What a maroon." He thought. He rested his elbow on the coffee table and munched on a cookie. "Please continue."

Kagome nodded. "Afterwards, I freed him and learned about this Shikon no tama, which enhances a demon or human powers. This jewel was born from my body somehow, and I'm in charge of protecting it after a priestess."

"Shikon no tama? Demons? Was this really Japan's past?" Ranma questioned.

"Hard to believe it but yes." Kagome nodded. "Later we were fighting a demon crow which swallowed the jewel, I shot my arrow and killed it but accidentally the jewel was shattered into many shards and is spread across all of Japan."

"And let me take I guess you got to team up with this guy to gather them all right?" Ranma said.

"Yes exactly that; we have help along the way, I have other friends but they can't pass through our time."

"Oh. Well that explains it; my stories aren't as usual as well." Ranma sighed. "Let's start off with this." He grabbed a glass of water and splashed it over his head.

Gasps spread around the room.

"You really are a girl, no wait I got it you're a cross dresser." Inu-yasha guessed.

Ranma knocked him at the top of his head. "No, Baka ne, I'm under a curse!" He shouted angrily.

"What kind of curse, what cursed you? kagome asked.

"As you see when I poured cold water on myself I turn into a girl. It happened about two months ago I was in China training with my father."

flashback

"This is Jusenkyo cursed springs, if you…" As the Jusenkyo guide was cut off.

Ranma and Genma were on top of bamboo poles in position to battle.

"No, it very bad if you fall in spring." The guide warned, but they ignored him.

"I won't go easy on you Ranma." Genma noted.

"Good, just the way I like it." Ranma smirked.

They both kicked and punched, but Ranma kicked his father off one of the poles and plunged into the water.

"Oh what's the matter pop finished already?" Ranma teased.

Then suddenly a giant panda arose from the spring aiming at Ranma.

"What the…" Ranma was in shock and looked at the Jusenkyo guide. "What is that?" He pointed.

"Shonmaoniichuan, tragic tale of drowned panda, panda drown in this very spring 2000 year ago, now who fall in spring take form of panda." The guide explained.

Ranma looked back at the panda. "Pop?" His father hadn't noticed his transformation and charged at Ranma giving him a punch making him fall into the spring under him.

Ranma popped back out gasping for air swimming wildly.

"Oooh too bad, you fall in spring of Nyanniichuan, drown girl, another tragic tale of girl who drown in this spring 1500 year ago, now who fall in spring take body of girl." The guide explained again.

Ranma screamed when he noticed his pair of breasts.

End of flashback

"That's what happened." She or he frowned.

"Baka, why did you go there in the first place?" Inu-yasha scoffed.

"It wasn't like it was my idea; my father was the one who brought us there." Ranma shouted again.

"How do you change back?" Kagome wondered.

"Boiling water."

"Oh you mean this?" Inu-yasha smirked, pouring the hot water over his head.

"Yeoww h-hot!!" He yelled turning back to a boy.

"That's why you poured hot water over Inu-yasha, because he looked like someone who has fallen into one of the springs.

He nodded.

"Keh, as if I would be put under some stupid curse."

"Well I wouldn't talk you look like some sort of half-wit." Ranma sneered.

"Rrr…don't even go there." Inu-yasha growled.

"Your father as well got cursed and turns into a panda?" Kagome said cutting off Inu-yasha's growls.

"Yeah, but it's not just us, you remember Shampoo right well, she turns into a n-neko, as for another that turns into a piglet and one other one that turns into a duck." Ranma mentioned.

"Oh my, so many people got cursed and there's no way to lift it?"

"There is one way I've been thinking I have to get back to China somehow and find the right spring to turn me back into a boy for good." Ranma answered.

"Now I get it." Kagome sighed. "I hope you find the answer."

Ranma smiled. "I know I will."

Kagome returned her smile. She looked down at her lap when Buyo crawled on to it. "Hey Buyo."

Ranma backed away from her. "Oh you have a n-neko don't you, please don't bring it near me." Ranma shrieked waving his hands in front of him.

"Are you afraid of cats?" Kagome asked, hiding Buyo away.

"N-no, I'm just…th-they just m-make me uncomfortable." Ranma stuttered.

Inu-yasha picked up Buyo. "Is that so…how about now?" Inu-yasha taunted waving the cat in his face.

"Ahh get it away from me!" Ranma screamed running behind Kagome.

"How pathetic hiding behind Kagome like that I can't believe Ranma is afraid of nekos." Inu-yasha snickered.

"Who said I was afraid of nekos!" He shouted banging on the coffee table.

Inu-yasha lifted Buyo in his face again.

"Yah! Ranma yelled crawling away from him quickly.

"Come back here Ranma, how will you get over you fear if you don't act up?" Inu-yasha toyed, chasing him around with Buyo in his hands.

"Inu-yasha, enough already…stop teasing him…" Kagome shouted after him.

"Get it away from me!" Ranma shrieked running around with Inu-yasha holding Buyo just behind him.

Kagome halted. "That's it, Inu-yasha Oswari!!" Kagome commanded.

Inu-yasha's eyes suddenly widened at the sound of the the word and crashed face first to the floor crushing Buyo under him.

Buyo squirmed from under him and ran off.

Kagome ran over to Inu-yasha. "Really Inu-yasha you could be very childish sometimes, Ranma, Ranma, where are you, Ranma?" Kagome called.

"Meow."

Kagome heard strange meows coming from under the coffee table. Kagome peered under the table.

Ranma suddenly jumped out knocking the table over.

Water leaked over to Kagome's foot she looked back up at Ranma. "Ranma…kimi doshtano?"

"Meow."

Kagome gasped. " Ranma you're…"
