Ranma's New Curse
A Ranma 1/2 Inu-Yasha Crossover
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. This is a work
of fanfiction, which means I get to play god and change the
characters around as I see fit. HA HA HA!
Notes: In the Ranma Universe this story starts out at the end of
the battle with Saffron. In the Inu Yasha Universe it diverges
from book 8. I will change little things as time goes on, ie the
Inu Yasha group never meets Sango and anything after book 8 never
happened. If the characters are OOC then I apologize I tried my
best damn it!
He woke up to darkness, the feeling of claws ripping into
his flesh still fresh in his mind. The sight of his father throwing
him into the darkness will forever be burned into his memory. He
felt the blood flow out of his body as he felt his life slipping
away and thought that this was it. Just as he was preparing to die
a new sensation filled his body. At first it was a pain that
started in his chest and then it became a feeling of warmth.
Unfortunately for Ranma the feeling of claws ripping into his skin
was still foremost on his mind and he could not supress the urge
of what comes natural.
Chapter 2
Ranma's Decision, Kagome's Dilemna
---------------------------Ten Years Ago----------------------------
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Baba was confused. Even though she had never tried to use
the power of the pearl she was pretty sure that it wasn't supposed
to induce pain in the recipient. She was still pondering this
recent turn of events when she finally realized something, 'He's
still experiencing the Cat Fist training. With a speed that belied
her age, passed by a cowering Genma and touched Ranma's sleep spot
so he could sleep while the pearl did it's work.
Genma fell on his but at the sound of his son's scream. He
had heard when he first threw the boy to the cats and it had chilled
his soul. Since he was farther away from the boy at the time he was
able to ignore it, but this was different. He couldn't ignore this.
His son was being put back together like a puzzle and Genma sat on
his ass unable to move or do anything to help Ranma. He was relieved
when the old lady took control of the situation and knocked Ranma
unconscious.
Baba turned to the man on the floor and addressed him.
"It will be awhile before he awakens and his wounds are
healed. Would you like some tea while we wait?"
"Yes please." Genma responded as once again his stomach
took control of his body.
---------------------------One Hour Later---------------------------
Ranma once again awoke to darkness, and thinking he was still
in the pit where the c-c-c- those things could get to him he once
again cried for help.
"HHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!"
Needless to say the other two people in the cottage at the
time ran over to help.
Unfortunately Genma reached the child first and looked down
at Ranma with anger written in his eyes. He had taught the boy that
men do not cry out for help for any reason. Crying was for girls. He
was angered at the fact that something so unimportant as the Cat Fist
could turn his manly son into a sniveling, girly coward. Just as he
was about to hit Ranma and reprimand him, Baba came to Ranma's side
in attempt to console the boy.
"Boy, boy wake up it's only a dream." Baba said soothingly
as she stroked Ranma's back. Even though she tried to calm the boy
his wailing would not cease. 'Maybe I was wrong' she thought 'maybe
this wasn't him.'
Genma couldn't take any more of the boys consistent wialing
decided to put a stop to his son girlish actions.
"BOY STOP THAT CRYING THIS INSTANT!! ARE YOU A GIRL OR A
MAN!" shouted Genma.
'What kind of idiot is he!' thought Baba. 'Trying to calm
a frightened boy by yelling at him.' Baba was thinking to herself
so much that she failed to notice that the boy had stopped. She
looked down at the boy in her arms and saw he had stopped crying and
was looking at Genma.
Ranma looked at Genma as an unconscious war raged in his
mind. Some part of him had respect for the man before him and looked
up to him as a great Martial Artist and his only family. The other
part, a part he never had before, wanted to gut the fat fool like a
fish for throwing into the pit again and again.
Genma watched his sons reaction to his demand and felt fear
from someone other than Nodoka and Happousai for the first time in
his life. He could have sworn that Ranma's eyes just turned gold and
Ranma's lips curled in a snarl as he seemed to be growling at the old
man. Genma, who knew that he was being threatened, tried to prepare
himself for the fight that was to follow for he was sure that this
was the Cat Fist.
The battle in Ranma's mind increased in volume and Ranma
didn't want any part in it anymore. He succumbed to the comforting
darkness that wanted to destroy Genma and once again fell
unconscious.
Genma knew that something was wrong when Ranma, instead of
crouching down on all fours and attacking him recklessly like he did
before, Ranma straightened up and stared at Genma with golden eyes
instead of Ranma's blue-gray ones. "Boy what's wrong?"
"Your 'boy' is not here right now." said the boy as he
continued to stare at Genma through furious golden eyes. "He is to
afraid of my power right now so he has retreated for the time being."
"Who are you?" Genma asked as he tried not to pee in his
pants as he saw the barely restricted aura of darkness that
surrounded the boy.
"I am the spirit of the Great Demon Dog of the West that was
embedded in my pearl of power. Just as my physical body was embedded
in the pearl that held my grave." the boy turned to face Baba. "You
have chosen the being that will hold my power well servant. I am
pleased. I can see the great things that he will do in the future.
He will help out both humans and my clan."
Baba was speechless. She never thought that she would come
face to face with the youkai that her ancestors served under so many
years ago. "Thank you Master but I did not choose the boy."
"Oh." said the spirit intrigued. "Then how did you choose?"
"I used this." responded Baba as she pulled out the painting
of a white-haired, pig-tailed boy fighting a pheonix. "I do not
believe in coinscidences Master and seeing as the boy had the same
name as the savior I feel I did the right thing."
The spirit smiled. "You have done well. And I accept your
decision." He then turned to Genma. "As for you, if you were not
important to Ranma's future I'd rip you apart right now. But instead
I'll let you live because deep down I know you care for this boy."
Genma did not respond but slowly nodded his head. "Will
Ranma return to his body?" he managed to choke out.
"Yes, I am only available to talk to you for a brief period
of time and the boy will then return in control. However he will have
no recollection of any of this until the ten years of maturation
have passed. After that all will be revealed." He then turned back
to Baba. "You know who you must call and what you must do for the boys
training do you not?"
"Yes Master the knowledge has been passed down and the
current retainer is still alive...unfortunately." she got goosebumps
whenever she thought of that man. Baba saw the look of slight
confusion in the spirits eyes and told him, "fear not he will serve the
boy well but he is a little odd."
At this the spirit nodded. "Then I will leave his growth to
the two of you. Goodbye." and with that the aura of darkness that
had surrounded Ranma winked out and the boy fell back into the bed
asleep.
"I suggest you take the boy and leave." Baba told Genma. "But
remember to come back when the boy remembers." with that said she too
dissapeared leaving Genma and Ranma alone in a barren room.
Genma gathered up his boy as he thought, 'Man I have got to lay
off the Sake.' He left the cottage and continued their journey.
-------------------------End Flashback----------------------------------
'The power I used was from the demons pearl. No wonder it feels
dark.' Ranma looked toward his father who was also remembering the words
of Baba and the spirit of the Great Demon Dog.
"Hey old man looks like the 10 years is up."
Genma just nodded his head dumbly.
"Do you remember the location of Baba's cottage?"
Genma shook his head. "I don't even remember how I got there the
first time. I just sort of stumbled upon it."
"Great, looks like I'll have to do the same thing." After saying
this he looked toward the entrance to the dojo to see Kasumi entering the
room.
"Excuse me Ranma but all your friends have arrived and are waiting
for you in the house."
"Good, tell them to come into the dojo Kasumi. I have an
announcement to make. I also you Akane and Nabiki to be here to."
"Okay Ranma I'll go tell your friends."
"Thank you Kasumi."
Kasumi gave Ranma one of her motherly smiles as she turned and left.
Ranma went back to focusing on his kata as he thought of a good way
to work out his problems.
----------------------------------Sengoku Jidai-----------------------------
Kagome sat on the grass watching Inu-Yasha as he ate his fourth cup
of instant Ramen. 'How am I supposed to tell him.' she thought to herself.
'He gets mad when I go back for tests, he's going to be furious when I tell
him about my acceptance to Highschool.' she sighed once more as she went back
to thinking.
'What the hell is wrong with her today?' Inu-Yasha thought while he was
eating. 'She keeps sighing and looking sad. It's making me lose my appetite.'
Convinced that the feeling he felt in his stomach was from his appetite rather
than the fact that he was worried about her, he turned his back to her and
continued to eat his food.
Shippo and Miroku watched the antics of Kagome and Inu-Yasha as they
sat down also eating some fried tubers that Kagome had bought with her.
"Does he not like her or is he just dense?" Miroku asked the Kitsune.
"He's really that stupid." Said Shippo as he continued to munch
happily on the snacks.
Inu-Yasha stood up and stretched himself out. "I'm done eating. I
can't sit around all day, I'm off to find some shards." He looked back at his
traveling companions. "You coming or not."
"Yeah, yeah." said Miroku and Shippo as they both stood up.
"Kagome-san aren't you coming as well?" asked Miroku while waving his
hand in front of her face.
"Hmm... oh yes, yes." she said as she stood up smiling. 'I guess I'll
tell him later.' And the four companions set off on their own journey.
----------------------------Baba's Cottage Present-----------------------------
"Where is that idiot, I told him to meet me an hour ago." said Baba as
she paced back and forth around her small house.
"Relax you old bag of bones I'm right here." said a diminuitive man who
had just walked through her door.
Baba threw a small wrapped item at the man. "Here, I fixed it for you.
Now go and retrieve the boy we must start his training." she said as she turned
her back on the man."
"You were always a frigid bitch. I could never have any fun with you."
the man said as he caught the item.
"Just do as your told!" she yelled as she turned towards the man. "And
don't get sidetracked like you normally do."
"Yeah, yeah. I'm going. I still can't believe I have to serve that
snot-nosed little punk." snorted the man.
"You know as much as I do that he is the true chosen one."
"I know. I always knew that boy was destined for great things. Don't
tell him I told you that though. It could ruin my reputation." He said as a drop
of water hit the item and the man dissapeared.
Baba looked out the window towards Tokyo. 'You better not fail Happousai.
Oh god I better check my underwear drawer.'
END CHAPTER 2
Authors Notes: Hey people this is my first time writing something like this what'd
ya think? I know my chapters are a little short but I am busy with a lot of things
in my life and don't have time to write a full length chapter. That's why I'm
writing these small ones. I'd like to thank everyone who read my story and reviewed
it. I'm glad you liked it. Hopefully this story will be updated twice a week and
should be finished soon. One person review told me not to make Kagome another fiancee
and that it's been done before. That wasn't my intention in the first place but I don't
think I've ever seen a story like that. As for the Ranma Akane pairing I have two possible
endings that will answer that question. i'm not good at writing any type of romance so there won't be that much in the fic. when reviewing tell me if you would like to see the
pair or not. I will put up both endings anyway but the one with more votes will get put up first. I also realize that the Inu Yasha gang has not been featured that much so far. Don't worry about that they'll get featured much more later. Thanks and enjoy.
