Chapter Four: Healing of the Heart, Defense of the Nekohanten

"Everyone meet Blaze. My personal summon." Ranma said from her spot on the Red Western Dragon's back.

"Good day." The dragon said bowing it's head to the stunned audience.

Everyone turned their heads as Shampoo walked down the stairs with the crystal ball in her hands. "Hibachan Shampoo brin… bring…" Shampoo trailed off when she noticed the dragon in the room. "Hibachan, why is there great winged lizard in kitchen?"

"I am no lizard." Blaze scoffed, "I am a noble dragon."

"Now I sure she didn't mean it Blaze." Ranma said, trying to defuse the situation before Blaze's temper could ignite like his name, "Right Sham?"

Shampoo nodded furiously. Herb was powerful, but he was only part dragon. She didn't want to be on the receiving end of a full dragons wrath. Slowly she walked around the dragon and set the crystal ball on the table.

"No need to be scared child. I won't bite unless you give me reason to." Blaze said, though it didn't reassure anyone.

'Way to go Blaze, scare them all to death.' Ranma thought. "What he means, is he won't bite unless I tell him to. Right?" She said using quite a bit of her strength to grind her elbow into his scales.

"Of course that's what I meant." He said with a grimace.

"Good, now I need you to take a look around the area. According to Cologne," Ranma gestured to the elderly woman, "there are fifty people heading this way at high speed, which usually means danger in this section of the planet. Be careful we're on my home world now, not the Elemental countries. People aren't used to seeing Dragons. Though in this area it'll hardly be noticed. What with all the other strange things that have happened." Ranma told him, hopping to the ground.

"I am always careful." He said with a snort before walking out the door.

Ranma turned back to everyone as the sound of Blaze leaping into the sky reached them. "Sorry, he's a little… snobbish." She said.

"Quite alright dear." Nodoka said picking up a chair which the dragon had knocked over on his way out the door.

"Yes, it's alright." Cologne said leaping up onto the table. She examined the crystal ball.

"Maybe wait until Mousse an' Dragon get back?" Shampoo suggested nervously.

"That'll just waste time Shampoo." Ranma said slipping back into her chair, "Time we don't have if Cologne is correct. They'll probably lock down the area before sending men to take us out. No other reason to bring fifty men."

"Good reasoning child." Cologne said, "Now the question is why are you so knowledgeable about battle?"

Silence reigned for several seconds before Ranma mumbled something.

"I'm sorry child, I didn't hear that. Could you speak louder." Cologne requested.

"I SAID I WAS A SQUAD LEADER IN A WAR! ALRIGHT!" Ranma shouted pushing her chair back, "I don't want to talk about it." She said softly before turning and walking down the stairs into the basement.

Cologne watched as she walked away. A frown on her face. "I don't think I should have asked that." She said, berating herself for the Faux Pas she had just made.

'You think?' Ryouga thought, and with difficulty managed not to say, as it would earn him a rap on the head with her blasted cane.

"I don't think my daughter is ready to talk about it Elder Cologne." Nodoka said following her daughter, "I'll see if I can calm her down." 'What happened during that war to make her act like this.' Nodoka had a feeling she knew what, but hope is was just that, a feeling.

Blaze flew high above Nerima. He was trying to figure out what the fifty men, that the old woman Cologne had detect, were doing. It wasn't very easy to do so and not get spotted. He frowned, as much as is possible for a dragon, as he watched a half dozen of them escort a several people out of what appeared to be their home above a bakery. 'They've been doing this across an area of five square blocks.' The Dragon thought, 'Why are they doing this.' He turned his attention to several other groups. They were setting up barricades. It suddenly hit the dragon what they were doing.

"Their locking down the area." The dragon muttered to himself. Looking around he noted that the Nekohanten was, literally, at the center of the area they were blocking off. "I'd say their hostile." He banked hard and angled into a steep descent that would have him land in the ruins of the Nekohanten's serving area.

"Ranma?" Nodoka called as she looked through the basement. She propped open another door and looked inside. It was a broom closet. 'Why do they have such a big basement?' Nodoka thought as she checked the sixth room, this one an armoury. 'Better yet why do they have so many weapons?'

She stepped out of the armoury and walked over to the next, and last, door. The sound of sniffling and the occasional sob reached her ears. "Ranma, are you in there?" She called.

"H-h-hai." Came the choked, and shaky, reply.

"I'm coming in, okay?" Nodoka said pushing the door open and looking around. Several chairs and end tables were scattered throughout the room. At the other side of the room, opposite the door, there was a couch on which Ranma sat with her feet pulled up to her chest. 'I have a feeling that what I suspect might be true.' Nodoka thought striding across the room and sitting down next to her daughter before gathering her up in a hug. "Ssh. It's alright. Your mother has you now." She whispered rocking her daughter back and forth.

They sat there for several minutes as Ranma slowly stopped crying. "You alright now dear?" Nodoka asked.

"Hai." Ranma said, "Sorry for falling all to pieces. I thought I'd gotten over the events of the war." She looked down, "I had a boyfriend you know." Ranma said causing Nodoka to looked down at her daughter. "Couple years back just before the war he asked me out for the first time. A year before that had he asked him I would have clobbered him hard enough to knock him across the village. But he'd matured a lot so I thought what the heck. I accepted." She sniffled and squeezed her mother's arm.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Nodoka said reassuringly.

"No, you've never had a chance to get to know me before, you deserve to know." Ranma said, "We hit it off immediately, some people joked that that Kiba, Akamaru, and I were joined at the hip."

"You said two names dear." Nodoka said questioningly. Surely her daughter hadn't had two men following her.

"Kiba was my boyfriend's name. Akamaru was his nin-dog." Ranma told her, "We were going steady for several months before the Sound-Leaf war broke out… I was made a squad leader. On it were several Chunin and Jounin, including Kiba and Akamaru. First mission out we were ambushed by a team from Sound. Kiba was fatally wounded in the opening barrage. I tried to save him… Oh Kami how I tried but there wasn't anything I could do. He told Akamaru to look after me then… then he just stopped breathing. I can't remember much of the following week, but my friend Ino told me I wasn't very responsive for most of it, just moving on autopilot I guess. In the following months I took on numerous high risk missions, making a name for myself as Konohagakure's Dragon Queen, after my summons. Some people questioned whether I had a death wish. I didn't, and still don't. I just knew that the high risk missions would do the most damage to the enemy who had killed my boyfriend." Ranma stopped and wiped a tear away, "The war ended with the destruction of the Sound village at the hands my me and my squad. My original squad that is. Me, Naruto and Sasuke. Personally I'd like to think I managed to get more of the bastards but I don't hold too many illusions about that." Ranma stopped talking and hugged her mother. "Thanks for listening Oka-san."

"Your welcome. Now come on everyone's worried. The elder was close to beating herself over the head with her Cane when I left." Nodoka said, eliciting a short laugh from her daughter.

"Now that is something I'd pay to see." Ranma said walking out of the door with her mother.

When the walked into the Kitchen Cologne bounded up to them on her staff. "Ranma I'd like to apologize if my questioning upset you." She said.

"It's alright." Ranma said waving her off, "It gave Ka-san a chance to get to know me."

"Very well then. Your dragon Blaze," Cologne pointed to a corner where the dragon was lying down watching them, "brought us some dire news, that Mousse and I agree with. The fifty have locked down the area and are moving on us immediately."

Ranma looked around at everyone for a moment before responding. "I think I'll take it from here. As I said I've been at war before." Ranma said.

"As have I child." Cologne said, "But lets see how you do."

"Right. Shampoo take Oka-san and Kasumi and get anything valuable from the upstairs and take it down stairs." Shampoo and the others nodded and started for the stairs. Ranma turned to Mousse, "I assume that armoury is where you keep your extra weapons?"

"It is." Mousse said.

"I need Kunai, Shuriken and any knives you have." Ranma said. Mousse looked to Cologne, who nodded, before heading into the basement.

"Blaze your on the roof, let us know when they turn around the street corner." Ranma said to the Dragon.

"Of course." He replied rising from the ground.

"And I am doing?" Cologne questioned.

"You are digging a tunnel from the basement to Ucchan's. Tell Ukyo what happened here if I'm not there." Ranma said, "Ryouga your helping her."

"Alright." Ryouga said and tried to walking into the basement.

"That's the closet Ryouga. Just follow Cologne." Ranma said when Ryouga asked why the basement was so small.

"What are you doing?" Cologne asked Ranma as she led Ryouga to the stairs.

"I'm turning this place into a deathtrap." Ranma said with a grin that made Cologne shiver.

"I suspect we won't be rebuilding anytime soon then?" The old woman asked from her spot on the stairs.

"I doubt you'll have need to." Ranma said, "Remember, the kisses are void, so you have no reason to stay anymore."

"That's where your wrong Child." Cologne said walking down the stairs, "I've read your proposal and I think the Council will agree to it. In which case they'll need someone here to act as a liaison."

Ranma smiled, "It'll be nice working with you then. Now I need to start turning this place into a deathtrap." She said removing a large bottle of ink and a brush from her pouch. Several minutes later Shampoo, Nodoka, and Kasumi entered the room to find Ranma writing a long string of seals on the door frames.

"What Ranma doing?" Shampoo asked.

"Turning this place into a deathtrap." Ranma said as she drew another seal.

"Dear, aren't we going to be in here?" Nodoka asked nervously.

"No your going to be at Ucchan's through a tunnel Cologne and Ryouga are digging." Ranma said, "Now get those things downstairs, and stay their once your finished. I don't want you getting caught in this trap when I spring it."

"What about you?" Kasumi asked.

"I can set it off at a distance." Ranma assured her.

"Alright. Just be careful." Kasumi asked.

"Don't worry I will be." Ranma said.

"Their coming! Their coming!" Blaze shouted landing in front of Ranma.

"And I've just finished everything. You've done a good job Blaze. Head on home." Ranma said patting dragon on the nose, who then disappeared in a burst of smoke.

Ranma walked back into the building and checked everything before sitting in the middle of the floor. Closing her eyes she spread out her senses and managed to detect the approaching men's aura's. Moments later they stormed into the building. She didn't open her eyes as they surrounded her and pointed their guns at her.

"Where is everyone woman!" Demanded a man to her right.

Ranma opened her eyes and looked around at the men. They were all dressed in black suits and were carrying submachine guns.

"Where is everyone!" Repeated the man.

Ranma turned and looked at him before smiling. "Out of your reach." She said before vanishing in a poof of smoke.

"What! Search the building, top to-" The man never got to finish as the walls exploded in a massive blast of energy.

Ranma appeared on the roof of a building across the street. Raising her hand in a half ram seal set off the explosive seals she had place throughout the building. All was quiet for a moment then a light flashed inside the building and an explosion rocked the area and the building went up in a gigantic fireball. Ranma winced slightly as twenty aura's abruptly winked out.

"That's twenty. Now for the rest." She muttered leaping to an adjacent roof and making her way in the direction of one of the barricades. Three minutes later she arrived at the barricade. It consisted of a single large black van off to one side, a makeshift wood and metal sheeting fence and five men. Two of who were asleep, while the other three were in varying states of wakefulness.

"Sloppy." She whispered drawing three Kunai. Three sharp whistles later three men fell dead to the ground, Kunai in various critical locations of their body. Jumping lightly to the ground she approached the two dead men. She dispatched them with ease before acquiring their weapons and ammunition, which she put into an extra scroll. She withdrew an explosive tag and placed it on the gas tank of the van, before leaping to a nearby roof. As she sped away heading in the direction of three more aura's she detonated the tag.

'Twenty-five down, twenty-five to go.' She thought.

Kazuki was pissed. First his men fail to kill either the Amazons or his Boss's wife, then when he launches another strike, this one to kill them all at once, he receives word that their being picked off one by one.

He turned into a door. Inside were row upon row of bunk beds. "ALPHA TEAM!" He shouted getting the attention of the room's occupants. "FRONT AN' CENTER!" A short scramble later and twenty fit men an women were lined up in front of him. "You all know about the mission I sent to kill a few people in Nerima." He said, "They've encountered difficulties beyond what they should have had to worry about. Suit up, we're going in. Meet me at the motor pool in five minutes." He turned on his heel and left, leaving men and women scrambling to get ready.

Seven minutes later Kazuki and his team were on the road heading through Nerima in three APC's.

Ranma launched several Kunai at two soldiers which had managed to spot her. She sighed as they embedded themselves in the heads of the men. "That's forty down, ten to go." She whispered like a mantra to herself. She was about to continue when the sound of vehicles brought her attention to the street. Three APC's rolled down the street and passed the alley she was in. A single APC stopped at the entrance of the alley.

'Kami-sama must hate me or something.' She thought before leaping onto the roof of a nearby building, seconds before three heavily armoured soldier's stepped into the alleyway. 'Damn it.' She thought, 'This just keeps getting harder and harder. Now they have body armo- Now that is too convenient.' And evil grin spread across her face as she remembered what higher grade body armour was usually made of.

She pointed a single finger at the soldiers. Ki began to gather at the tip. "Shattering Rain." She whispered releasing the sphere of ki, which broke and rained down upon the soldier's from above. She leapt back to avoid being seen. A few seconds later a loud series of explosions rang out, along with several cries of pain. "They really shouldn't wear ceramic armour." She said with a smirk.

She approached the roof edge and looked down. The three soldiers were at the bottom of a large crater that consumed part of the buildings on either side of the alleyway. A man in a black armour with a sniper rifle in his right hand was examining them, while two other's stood like guards.

"Damn it. What the hell happened." The man said.

Ranma began charging up another Shattering Rain when the man looked up.

"There on the rooftops!" He shouted pointing at her.

'Damn.' Ranma thought releasing the Shattering Rain and leaping back as a hail of bullets flew through the spot where her head was. She turned and started running away from the scene, over the rooftops. She knew she was fast, but she didn't want to test it.

"Damn it you fools. I'll do it!" She heard the man rage. She looked over her shoulder in time to see him land on the roof, minus his rifle. She stopped and turned to face him.

'Must be heavily trained in the Martial Arts.' She thought walking towards him.

"Well, well girl. You must be Ranma Saotome." The man said, settling into a fighting stance, "I take it your to one whose been killing my men?"

"I am." She said settling into one of her own, "Now who are you?"

"Kazuki Oni." The man said simply, "Second in command to your father."

"Somehow I doubt that." Ranma said, "Genma isn't smart enough to install a light bulb, let alone run an organization."

"Do you really believe that?" Kazuki asked, "Remember the two schools he created?"

"I thought he was acting too stupid for him to have invented those." Ranma admitted grudgingly.

"Good, now why don't you return to your father like a good little girl? You could be daddy's little princess." Kazuki said.

Ranma made a face of disgust and a gagging sound. "No thanks." She said, "I don't deal with murderers."

"And you didn't just murder my men?" Kazuki growled.

"Self-defence. Your men tried to kill me." Ranma said, "Now are we actually going to fight, or are you going to run away in fear?"

"That's it," He growled charging towards Ranma, "I don't care what the boss said, your going DOWN!"

Ranma ducked under a punch to her chest and grabbed Kazuki's arm. In one motion she threw him through the wall of the building across the street.

"Is that all, Demon?" Ranma called mockingly, seemingly a different person from a few moments earlier.

Kazuki stepped out of the building, brushing off pieces of debris. "You made me lose my cool." He said, "It won't happen again." With that he leapt towards her.

Ranma hopped away as his foot slammed into the roof. He followed her launching a string of attacks. Ranma wove between them easily, giving the illusion he was striking at air. 'Why isn't she attacking?' Kazuki thought as he tried to hit her.

'That's enough. Mediocre skills, in comparison, probably prefers that rifle. Lets give him something to report to Oyaji.' Ranma thought catching Kazuki's hand. "I don't know who trained you but… you suck." Ranma said with a smirk.

A flash of angry flared through Kazuki. 'How dare that little snot-nosed redheaded bitch say something like that!' He thought, disregarding the fact that she was seven inches taller then him, without her boots. He angrily threw another punch.

Ranma grabbed in and squeezed, hard. He screamed as every bone in his hand was crushed. He dropped to his knee's grasping at his hand. "You bitch." He gasped through the pain, "I'll kill you for this. I'll kill you, your mother, your little friends."

Ranma's eyes grew hard and cold. "I was thinking of letting you live, but now." She didn't finish the sentence, instead opting to deliver a blow with almost three-quarters of her physical strength. Which was, with chakra enhancement, nearly double that of Tsunade. There was so much power behind it that one moment he was kneeling at her feet gasping in pain, and the next at the bottom of his own giant crater that consumed several key structural supports for the building they had been on.

Ranma pushed off and leapt to the next building as the one they had been fighting on collapsed upon Kazuki. Five men ran towards the debris and started to dig him out, while the other ten opened fire upon Ranma, who threw herself behind a chimney stack.

'That might not have been the swiftest idea.' Ranma thought as bullets pinged off the brickwork, occasionally taking chunks out of it. 'I can fight hand-to-hand but I don't think I can dodge bullets that well.' She reached into her pouch and checked what she had. 'Single Shuriken, Ten Kunai, large packet of explosive notes…!' She pulled out several explosive notes and glanced around the corner of the chimney at the troops. Pulling back she charged the Explosive notes with ki, causing them to harden and sharpen. With a flick of her wrist she sent them flying through the chimney in the direction of the soldiers. Several seconds later a series of explosions went of.

Without waiting to see if they actually hit or not Ranma bolted from her hiding spot and dashed across the roof. Bullets flew by, some close enough that she could hear the wind whipping behind them. She leapt across a street and kept going. Nearly three minutes passed before she slowed down. "Damn. Well I probably put a major dent in their forces." Ranma muttered looking around.

Recognizing the area she set off in the direction of Ucchan's.

"How is he?" Genma asked the doctor as they observed the emergency surgery to save Kizuki's life.

"Every bone in his body has been broken, crushed, or damaged in some way." The doctor replied, "Kidney's are a mess, liver's damaged, spleen's damaged and could rupture at any time. It's a miracle he's still alive. By all accounts he should be dead from the blow your Daughter gave him."

"I see." Genma said turning to the surgery. He'd spent years training the boy to be a weapon, and ultimate weapon. Tendo was supposed to have conditioned his daughter so that she would beat on him until he broke, then Genma would rebuild him into a perfect, devoted, killing machine who would be unstoppable. Everything, all the planning, scheming, and plotting, had gone down the drain at Jusenkyo. It had taken longer for the conditioning Tendo had given his daughter to take effect, all because she still partly thought of Ranma as a girl. Then the Fiance's showed up, and his wife.

Genma scowled. That meddlesome woman. She wasn't supposed to be able to find him. She had offered an alternate source of parenting which Ranma had taken over him at any point possible. Then Kuno had banished his son. Now his right hand man was in surgery, fighting for his life, after his Daughter, not son, daughter, had punched him through the roof of a building, and collapsed said building on him.

"I must step up the timeline." Genma said to himself. He turned to a soldier next to him. "Tell my associates the schedule is to be moved up. Tomorrow is when we act." He said.

"Hai sir." The man said saluting before striding out the door.

'Soon Ranma… Daughter… you will bow to me.' Genma thought.

Ranma stood on the roof of a building across from Ucchan's. It looked perfectly normal, door closed, sign out, banner, everything in place. 'Better go say hi.' Ranma thought leaping from roof to the ground. Walking up to the door she pushed it open…

Author's Notes: That's a rap. Next chapter A Meeting at Ucchan's, Genma's plan.

I'm sure you noticed that Ranma never used any Jutsu. And no Shattering Rain is not a Jutsu. It is a ranged Version of the Breaking Point. Most high quality body armour is built with a mixture of ceramic and Kevlar. Ceramics would have breaking points.

Genma and Soun: Yes I know, too smart, too evil. They can't be that dumb in they managed to seal away Happosai for ten years.
