"I still say you're carrying the next ones we have." Ranma-chan complained from where she was lying on the hospital bed.

"I almost think I don't want to." Akane-kun said from where he was sitting holding the two sleeping babies.

Hearing the door open the two looked to see Kagome walk in.

"I see you're doing well Ranma. How are you feeling?"

"Well considering the circumstances I'd say I'm feeling pretty good." Ranma-chan answered as she tiredly sat up.

"Let's get ourselves a look at these two." Kagome said as she picked up one of the two girls.

The first one looked like her mother with the addition of red dragon wings coming from her back. "We thought to name that one Ranko seeing as she looks like me." Ranma-chan replied taking Ranko from Kagome.

The second had ice blue hair and red eyes like her fathers original form though like her sister she sported a pair of dragon wings on her back her wings being a light blue. "And her name will be Yuki." Akane-kun said before laughing. "The funny thing is they won't need blankets to keep warm."

"I guarantee they will want them though." Kagome said smiling at the new parents before telling Ranma-chan. "You should be able to return home tomorrow. So try and get some rest. Though the first few night are going to be the worst."

"Just what do you mean by that?" Ranma-chan asked as Kagome left the room.

"You'll see." Came her sing song reply as the door closed.

"Hmmph. You'll see she says." Ranma-chan mumbled as she began nursing Ranko.

After the hospital quieted down for the night Ranma-chan attempted to get some rest while Akane-kun held the twins.

The quiet was shattered by the door to the room they were in as it hit the wall.

Snapping upright Ranma-chan glared at the man standing in the doorway as she recognized him. "What are you doing here?"

"Now is that any way to greet your father Ranma?" Hibiki asked with a sinister smile on his face.

"She asked a question?" Akane-kun asked angrily from where he was sitting.

"Where are my manners?" Hibiki asked. "I came here to dispose of you four half breed mistakes. And as you're my offspring you're the first one getting cleansed from the world." He yelled as four spider like legs sprouted from his back.

Starring in horror Ranma-chan asked. "What have you done?"

"Oh nothing really. I just wished for the jewel to turn me into a demon as the best way to destroy a demon is with another demon."

"You hypocrite." Ranma-chan said as she got out of the bed and walked toward the chair where Akane-kun and the twins were sitting. "And what did you do to everyone else?"

"Oh not much just used a sleeping powder that put everyone within the city besides the three of us to sleep." Hibiki answered as his began morphing into a spider.

Standing up Akane-kun handed Ranko, and Yuki to Ranma-chan and pushed them behind him.

"If you want them you have to get through me first." Akane-kun growled out as he stood between his family and Hibiki.

"With pleasure." Hibiki said smirking as he finished transforming.

Swinging two of his legs Hibiki hit Akane-kun before he could react smashing him through a wall or two bringing parts of the roof and above floor on top of him.

"Akane." Ranma-chan screamed as she stared in horror.

"Don't feel to left out you'll be joining him soon." Hibiki said laughing crazily slowly cutting into Ranma-chan with his legs as she shielded her daughters from her father.

"Where am I?" Akane-kun asked as he came to and found himself floating in a seemingly endless black expanse.

"You're pathetic. I had hoped that you would be able redeem me since you have my body." An unknown voice told Akane-kun from the dark recesses of his mind.

"Who are you?" Akane-kun asked the mysterious voice.

"I am the one that drowned in the spring of jusenkyo the dragon Nadare." The voice said as the embodiment of the dragon that Akane turned into right after she was dowsed in the water from the spring. "You are the first one who's fallen into that spring as such my spirit entered into your body."

"How am I pathetic? Tell me that?" Akane-kun asked angrily after processing what he was told.

"You're near death. Your mate is about to be tortured by her father along with your children." Nadare said as she stared into Akane-kun's eyes. "I thought you were better than this. I was prepared to help you so I could rest in peace. But I was wrong about you."

Laughing maniacally Akane-kun got an angry look from Nadare. "Why didn't you say you would help me from the start. I may be stubborn but I'm not above accepting help to beat a stacked deck."

"Then you will accept my offer?" Nadare asked narrowing her eyes.

Smirking Akane-kun took her clawed foot into his hand. "Let's do it."

"Perhaps my faith in you wasn't misplaced." Nadare said as her body changed into flames and covered Akane-kun's body.

Meanwhile outside of Akane-kun's mindscape Hibiki Shirane was standing gloating over a injured Ranma-chan and her two children whom she was protecting with her own body.

"I had hoped after that display in the warehouse you would give me more of a fight. How disappointing that your mate didn't fare any better you must be so ashamed. Don't worry as I said already you'll be joining him soon." Hibiki told her earning a feral growl from the almost crazed kitsune hanyou.

They both stopped as the building began to shake. Looking toward the rubble that had fallen on Akane-kun Hibiki began to be worried as the rock began to melt and then shoot into the sky revealing a very much alive though severely beaten and battered Akane-kun.

Hibiki began physically shaking as he stared into Akane-kun's eyes that appeared to be burning just as fiercely as the flames that licked at his body.

"You dare to attack my mate and children just because you despise what they are. You degrade yourself even more by becoming what you despise most." Akane-kun stated with a hard look on his face that became a smirk before adding. "And just for that I will show you the true meaning of fear."

"You really think you will do any better this time around?"

"Aaaahhh." Akane-kun yelled as a swirling pillar of flame surrounded him sending shockwaves that were felt throughout Tokyo.

Taking a defensive position Hibiki prepared to face whatever came from the flames.

With a violent gust of wind the flames were dispersed revealing what appeared to be a dark red fifteen foot tall half dragon half human being holding a sword made of flame no less than eight feet long. (AN: I'll just cut into the suspense to say that if anybody has played adventure quest Akane-kun looks like the Dracomancer's level 10 half dragon transformation without the armor though covered in flames where the armor would be.)

In a much deeper and slightly gravely voice Akane-kun said. "I've put up with a lot of crap over the years but you have pushed it to far. Never mess with someone's family or You'll face the consequences." Pointing his sword at Hibiki Akane-kun continued. "Hibiki Shirane you have done enough damage to my family and others now you will pay for the lives you've taken with your own sorry existence."

"You are welcome to try but be warned just changing your form won't help you any." Hibiki said as he watched Akane-kun doing something strange.

While Hibiki was rambling Akane-kun formed his sword into a condensed swirling ball of flame. Thrusting his hands in front of him Akane-kun threw the fireball at Hibiki propelling it at a speed to great for the spider demon to dodge it.

'This can't be happening.' Hibiki thought as the fireball connected with his chest ripping through it and dispersing throughout his body disintegrating it.

"Thank you Nadare." Akane-kun said taking a calming breath as he changed back to his original form. "Are you okay Ranma?" He asked.

"I'll live." Ranma-chan mumbled as she cradled her two children.

"That's good to know." Akane-kun said smiling. 'Though we both know it's not that simple.'

'Stop that for a minute.' Ranma-chan answered before she felt waves of pain coming from Akane-kun.

"Are you alright Akane?" Ranma-chan asked with a worried look on her face.

Screaming in pain a white light was coming from Akane-kun's back as it took the shape of a dragons head.(AN: It looks like the Mortal Kombat insignia.)

After the light faded Ranma-chan saw a weird shaped tattoo on his back with a red eye that was fading to a normal skin color.

"Are you alright Akane?" Ranma-chan asked as she touched Akane-kun's back but immediately pulled back. "Ow that's hot." She said holding her injured hand. "What's happening?" She asked woozily as she followed her mate into unconsciousness though anyone that was watching would have seen a bright light shining through the back of her shirt.
