The Fox Siblings Ch 4

"Talking"

[Written Words]

{ Memory }

To say the Hokage was surprised is the understatement of the century. More like he was shocked. My brother on the other hand couldn't keep his excitement in check. Hmmph, I remember that day well even if I had to be reminded of other little details.

"That was so cool sis." Naruto said on their way home that evening.

"Nah it was nothing." Ranma said rubbing the back of her head.

"Now I have to wonder how the training ground would look if Ryoga was the one who demolished it." Kushina said.

"I don't know because I've never tried for demolition." Ryoga replied.

"Then how about we just have a no holds barred sparring match like we normally would to display our fighting skills." Ranma said.

"Define your idea of a normal sparring match." Kushina almost ordered.

"Oh just some property damage no more than a wall or two maybe some sidewalk." Ranma answered rubbing her chin in thought.

"That would have been a short fight. The longer fights had a good bit more damage involved." Ryoga added.

"I see. Well try to keep collateral damage to a minimum if you have any unplanned sparring matches." Kushina said.

"All right mom but I can't promise anything." Ranma said putting her arms behind her head.

"Well you three head on home I've got to speak to the hokage." Kushina said as she turned at the intersection waving as she did so.

"What are we going to do?" Ryoga asked looking around. "I mean now would be a good time as any to look around."

"Good point Ryoga." Ranma said. "Then let's go." She finished excitedly.

"Great. I have so much to show you." Naruto said enthusiastically as he pulled on Ranma's hand.

OOooOO

"Well Sarutobi what do you think about my daughter so far?" Kushina asked as she entered the office.

"Strategically? Ranking? Or just her personally?" Hiruzen asked puffing on his pipe like a locomotive.

"All of the above?" Kushina questioned.

"She could be one of our heavy hitters. Good for all ranges of combat. Whatever special techniques she knows are very destructive. Though they're nothing we know. Taijutsu is Jounin class maybe even enough to give Guy a run for his money. Ninjutsu is obviously nonexistent, and the same for Genjutsu I'll wager." Sarutobi said emptying out his pipe. "Personality wise I do believe I'm going to be dealing with you all over again." He said sighing.

"Then what about training? Since it seems that you've already put her on the roster." Kushina commented.

"Well I've been thinking about that. Obviously nothing is needed for taijutsu. Though I should see what Guy thinks about her skills." The Hokage said as he rubbed his chin in thought. "The rest we'll work on as they come up." He finished as he refilled his pipe.

"And something to think on. Rather than rebuild a training ground to test Ryoga. Why not just add a few obstacles to the remains of training ground six and let him fight with Ranma. Seeing as it's already destroyed and all that is par the course for one of their fights." Kushina added.

"That would be a good idea. Afterwards they should fight one of our jonin though to test how they fight strangers since they obviously fight each other regularly." Sarutobi said puffing away at a more sedate pace.

"Then when would be a good time for their observed fight?" Kushina asked expectantly.

"We should be done with remodeling by the end of tomorrow." Sarutobi replied looking through some appointments.

"Then how does the day after tomorrow sound?" Kushina asked.

"Well there's nothing pressing so yes that's acceptable." Sarutobi said flipping through a few scrolls.

"Then I'll see you later." Kushina said as she turned to leave.

"By the way follow the yelling and screaming if you wish to find your children." The third commented.

Doing as she was told Kushina followed the yelling till she got to the hot springs. There she found a beaten and bloodied elderly shinobi as well as an unconscious Ryoga whom Ranma was trying her best to awaken.

"This looks interesting." Kushina said looking down at her daughter looking around she saw Naruto shivering in fear at what he had seen occur. "Don't worry Naruto they weren't after you and unless you did something to make the other women mad they won't be." Kushina said comforting the boy as she took him into her arms.

"Hey Ryoga buddy wake up they didn't hit you that hard." Ranma said as she lightly flapped Ryoga's face trying to arouse him.

Groaning Ryoga made his return to the world of the living. "You know dear I love seeing your pretty face first thing in the morning." Ryoga said looking at her a loving expression on his face.

Turning a shade of red that matched the color of her hair Ranma punched Ryoga in the face almost succeeding in knocking him out. "Drop dead moron." Ranma mumbled looking away as the excess blood left her face.

'She likes me.' Ryoga thought happily then sobered just as quickly. 'Where did that come from? This is Ranma I'm talking about.' Ryoga thought knocking his head against the ground trying to dispel the image of him and Ranma that he was seeing.

"Mom what are they doing over there?" Naruto asked innocently.

"You'll understand when your older Kiddo." Kushina answered in amusement.

"Note to self maintain vigilance of surroundings at all times even within the village." The elderly man said wincing as he sat up.

"Well Pervy Sage I see you haven't learned your lesson yet." Kushina commented to the old man.

Jolting from his self assessment the shinobi looked toward the voice he thought he would never hear again. "Kushina is that you?"

"In the flesh Jiraiya-sensei. But it seems more fitting to just say Jiraiya since we're almost the same age." Kushina answered.

"No that's impossible Kushina died six years ago. And even if she did survive she'd be much younger." Jiraiya said jumping up in surprise while making sure he wasn't dreaming.

"No you're not seeing things and I'd like you to meet my daughter." Kushina said a smile on her face as she indicated Ranma.

"Apparently we have much to discuss." Jiraiya said still not fully comprehending.

"How about we talk at my place?" Kushina asked.

"Yes let's." Jiraiya said nodding his head.

The rest of that day was spent with Jiraiya catching up with Kushina on how life had gone for her as well as Ranma getting to know Naruto and Ryoga. Well Ryoga was doing his level best to not get lost seeing as Ranma was his best bet to get back to Nerima. A few hours later Ranma noticed that Naruto was nodding off. Smiling at him she picked him up and took him to the room she slept in the night before.

"You're a good older sister for never having had a sibling before." Someone behind her said as she lay the sleeping boy down.

"Thank you." Ranma replied before realizing that the voice wasn't familiar. "Who are you? And how did you get in here?" She asked falling into a stance as she saw a girl about her age with two markings on her cheeks resembling triangles with a slash through them and on her forehead were two overlapping inverted triangles. She was wearing a dress with the same color scheme as Ryoga leaning against the wall beside the door.

"Relax Ranma I'm not here to cause trouble and to answer your second question I came through there." The girl said pointing to a mirror a smirk formed on her face seeing Ranma's surprise. "To answer your first I'm Ryoga." She finished giggling a she strode out of the room leaving a momentarily shocked Ranma.

"How can you be Ryoga?" Ranma yelled as she ran into the main room but stopped in surprise falling over. "What are you doing?" She asked seeing the Toad sage kneeling on the ground as the female Ryoga attempted to get him to stand up without much success as she stood there embarrassed.

"What is it Jiraiya?" Kushina asked slightly worried as Jiraiya never knelt to anyone not even the Kages or Daimyos.

"Please get up I'm not worthy of your worship." Ryoga-chan said finally getting Jiraiya to stand. "The one I work for is the only one such an honor should be given."

"Well now that that is cleared up. Why is it that Jiraiya was so taken with you?" Kushina asked.

"The short answer is simple." Ryoga-chan answered as her body and clothes transformed into the male Ryoga he was dressed in a vest and pants the same colors as the other Ryoga but they appeared to have a radiance emitting from them. His hair was also a good bit longer than the other Ryoga. On his headband there appeared to be five bells on the right side of his head hanging staggered no two at the same level. Ranma also noted earing like pieces of metal and chain on his left ear wondering how she missed it to begin with. "I'm Ryoga Hibiki god/goddess of transformations first class type one unlimited license." He said grinning as he stood with his arms crossed. "And I'm here with a proposition for Ranma."

Ranma just stood there opening and closing her mouth like a fish out of water almost not believing what she was seeing. Jiraiya was the first to recover as he had already seen what Ryoga looked like. "And what is this proposition?"

Turning toward Ranma the god Ryoga asked. "You are aware that the springs of jusenkyo always has a guide?" Receiving a nod in response he continued. "Since a spring was used as the gateway to enter this dimension and two of you possessed jusenkyo curses a copy of the springs followed. As such they need a guide or caretaker Ranma I wish to give you that position."

"Huh?" Ranma asked.

OOooOOooOO
