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. I have decided to change the view for
the Inu Yasha universe from this point on. After doing some
research on the characters I decided to put Rin, Sessho-maru and
Sango into the story line. I was going to put Sessho-maru in the
story anyway but the way I'm putting him into it now is better
than before. I hope you enjoy!
Ranma sat hunched in demon form in a tree outside of Akane
Tendos bedroom window. Knowing that his hated enemy was in the
room of someone he considered family made him angry. Ranma paused
as he watched a silhouette pass by the window. Wanting to
surprise his enemy he waited until the silhouette passed by again
and leapt from the tree intent on ripping Saffron's throat out.
Crashing through the window, he pounced upon his enemy as he
snarled and clawed at the demi-god. Pleased when he felt his
claws break flesh he smiled as he heard his victim scream.
Chapter 6: Meet Inutaisho, Inu-Yasha's First Lesson
Akane screamed as she was tackled to the floor by the dog-
person that had jumped through her window. She screamed as she
felt his claws ripping through her shirt and into her skin.
Luckily his strikes were wild because upon jumping through the
window he had gotten tangled in the curtains. She was unable to
see the face of her attacker due to the curtain but she could still
feel his claws rip into her. Using all the strength she could
muster, she got her feet under his chest and flipped the creature
over her body and right into her bookcase.
Akane heard her father banging on her bedroom door trying to
break it down. She tried to reach the door and shout to her father
but she was silenced as her assailant, no longer down for the count,
leapt onto her back and pushed her to the floor. She felt something
hit her in the back of the head as everything slowly faded into
darkness.
-----------------------------Ranma's POV---------------------------
Ranma was angry. He could not see Saffron's face due to the
frilly curtains that Akane decorated her windows with. And the damn
demi-god had gotten a lucky hit in, knocking him into Akane's book-
case. He heard Soun Tendo's voice coming from the other side of the
door and, in fear that the creature would attack him, shook off his
stupor as he leapt at the silhouette and knocked it out with a blow
to the neck. Since his vision was obstructed he could not tell if
it had broken Saffrons neck or not, but for now it would do. He
looked toward the door as it opened and watched the silhouettes of
what could only be Soun and Genma enter the room.
---------------------------Dining Room------------------------------
Soun was sitting down with the rest of the family and their
guests and eating the dinner that Kasumi and Nodoka had made in honor
of the returning martial artists. Soun was crying, like he normally
is, but for a good reason. He had considered Ranma as a member of
the family and felt sorry for the lad under Happousai's care. He
then heard a scream coming from upstairs. Recognizing the sound of
Akane's voice he rushed upstairs to his baby girl.
Genma was sitting quietly, eating his dinner slowly for once.
He was also sweating as three women continuosly glared at him during
the meal. Usually something like that would have no effect on his
stomach, but the fact that Nodoka was using her katana as a knife
was disconcerting to him. When he heard Akane scream he shot up from
his seat like a rocket. He followed Soun up the stairs in fear of
losing the last heir to the Anything Goes school and to escape the
glares of Nabiki, Nodoka and Cologne.
Ryoga, also hearing Akane's scream, ran to help her and somehow
found himself outside the gates of the Tendo household. He kept running
until he found himself in the middle of forest. Not stopping to
wonder when the Tendo's had put a forest in the 2nd floor, he continued
running, trying to find Akane.
Cologne had felt a strange demonic aura coming from upstairs and
followed after the two idiots in their charge. Behind her Shampo, Ukyo,
Mousse, Nabiki, Kasumi and Nodoka followed wondering what was going on.
When they got to the top of the stairs they saw something that was a
familiar sight, but yet strange in this situation.
-----------------------------Akane's Bedroom----------------------------
Soun and Genma had lunged at the dog-person together and were able
to knock him down due to the fact that he was still tangled in the curtain.
Unfortunately this seemed to be a bad idea as Souns knife chop connected
with the back of the creatures neck and something Genma never wanted to see
again appeared before him.
Ranma was surprised as the two old men attacked him instead of
helping him subdue Saffron. One of the men landed a lucky blow at the back
of his head. It was not strong enough to knock him out, but somehow he
felt the darkness consume him and could do nothing about it.
Soun watched as the creature crumbled under the force his chop.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, an aura of absolute darkness
seemed to expand from the creature. It's eyes turned toward the two men
and Soun watched as it's eyes turned a bright golden color as they fell
upon Genma. A twisted smile came to the creatures face as it watched the
fat man drop to his knees and bow to him.
Genma remembered the last time he had felt this aura and started to
fear for his life. Ten years ago the Great Demon Dog had told Genma of his
purpose in Ranma's life and, knowing that it was over, knew that the Demon
would slay him on the spot. In order to keep this from happening he fell
back on old habits that always got him out of jams. Namely bowing and
scraping. "Hello again, oh wise and powerful one. How may this lowly one
serve you?"
Nodoka unsheathed her katana as she watched her husband dishonor the
Saotome name as he bowed to the creature that had just attacked Akane. She
began to step forward until she got a good look at just what her husband was
bowing and scraping to. Her sword fell from her grip and she backpedaled as
she felt the demonic energy surrounding the creature roll over her like water.
Cologne could feel the evil nature of the creature and, using Genma's
bowing and scraping as a distraction, attacked it. Her cane, infused with as
much ki as she could muster, flew toward the demon's head and promptly
shattered when it connected. Surprised that her weapon could be destroyed,
and wincing in pain from the ki powered splinters imbedded in her arm, she
fell back in shock in front of the other girls.
"Was that supposed to hurt human?" the demon sneered at her as it
stepped forward, it's eyes still glowing.
"Get back demon! I will not let you hurt these girls!" she shouted
as she gathered all her pride and glared at the demon. "I will not let you
defile these girls."
At this statement the demon's face furrowed in puzzlement as his eyes
stopped glowing. "Defile?" He asked the confusion on his face quickly turning
to anger. "I don't want to defile anyone! Hell I came here to help!" and
with that he folded his arms across his chest and 'humphed' in anger.
Cologne, confused by the demon's reaction, just stood there stunned
by the amount of power the creature calmly gave off. "You're not going to
defile them?"
"Of course not! I mean sure I've killed a couple of hundred mortals
in my lifetime but they all deserved it. Why is it whenever people find out
you're a demon they think you're evil and perverted." He then put his hand
under his chin and muttered to himself, "however there is the new retainer..."
While the demon was talking to itself, Shampoo made an important
discovery. "Scary Dog man look just like Airen."
The demon smiled at her and gave her a mock bow. "You are a very
observant girl. I commend you on the connection." He said with a smirk. He
turned away from the girls to face Soun, Nodoka and the cowering form of Genma.
Soun dropped to his knees wailing about the injustice of it all while Nodoka
just stared on in shock. The demon locked eyes with Genma, who quickly
looked away, crossed his arms across his chest and addressesd him. "You have
done an adequate job in preparing the boy, I commend you."
"Thank you for your praise, oh Great Demon Dog!" Genma responded from
his crouching position on the floor.
"Genma you sold your son to a demon?" Cologne yelled. "I knew you were
stupid but this is dumber than usual."
The demon sighed once more as he turned toward the old woman. "Why do
you still think I'm an evil person. Hell my last wife was human! You mortals
and you're stupid lack of trust. Without me the boy would've died."
"Why is that?" asked Nabiki, looking past the demon to see Genma's
face turn pale.
"He did not survive the Cat-Fist training. Genma came to my servant for
help and help she gave. Ranma became stronger and faster than any other human
with no horrible side-effects."
"Then why are you possessing him?" Cologne asked with an eyebrow raised.
"I am not 'possessing' him at all." he replied arrogantly. "My power
was willingly installed into Ranma's body. I am merely the spirit of Inutaisho
the Great Demon Dog of the West which inhabits the pearl that I made which is
currently inside the boy. All the power and energy you feel bleeding off of
me is Ranma's. Since I do not have control of Ranma's lifeforce, I cannot
contain it. I took control of this body 10 years ago for a brief period of
time in which I met Genma and Ranma. I have stayed within the recesses of
his unconscious to watch him and make sure that my power was not wasted.
Again it was my presence that kept the effects of the Cat-Fist training so
mild. I was able to fight the fear down, mainly because I'm a dog, and keep
him from going totally insane. If not for me a lot of things would have
gone wrong in his psyche."
"So its because of your efforts that my son is alive?" Nodoka asked
after listening to him. The demon nodded and she bowed to him. "Then I must
say thank you for helping him, but can you bring him back now?"
"I want to bring back your son, but first I must test him." he said
while shaking his head. "The test is hard but I have faith in the boy and his
abilities."
"What I don't get is why you attacked my baby girl." Soun said
through teary eyes as he supported Akanes head on his lap.
"I did not attack your little girl. Ranma did." he answered calmly.
"How can that be? Ranma would never attack Akane, or any girl for
that matter." Genma asked then quickly realized what he did and went back
to bowing and scraping.
"Lazy Panda man speak truth, Airen would never attack Violent Pervert
girl." Shampoo said with sadness underlying her voice as Ukyo nodded sadly
behind her.
"Ran-chan holds his honor very highly. He wouldn't do something like
that."
"That's easily explained. The girl has the stench of a phoenix on her.
A snotty demi-god if I remember correctly."
"Are you telling us the girl smells like Saffron?" asked Cologne, a
look of doubt crossing her face.
The demon shook his head. "Not only smells like, feels like. Ranma
did something very odd to the girl. It seems he mixed some of Saffrons ki
with hers in order to keep her alive. Which is why her aura feels like
Saffrons. When her natural ki is reproducing itself it expels the foreign
ki from the body. Since this goes on all the time her body smells like
Saffron."
"Is that dangerous?" Soun asked.
"No. She should be able to burn out all of his ki since her's is the
dominant one that is constantly being produced within the body. The ki will
trigger her emotions to overreact for a couple of days but that's not so bad.
According to my observations, with Ranma gone she won't be too destructive."
"Does that mean you're taking my son away? Why?" Nodoka asked .
"I'm sure you can all feel his aura, right?" he asked as the people in
the hallway all nodded their heads. "What do you feel?"
"Darkness." answered Cologne.
"Death." Genma said than quickly went back to cowering.
"Evil and Hatred." said Nabiki.
"That's right. If I leave after giving the test and Ranma still
doesn't have control of all these emotions and feelings he will become
extremely dangerous. To himself and to others. His retainer will teach
him what to do when I am gone and when he is finished, Ranma will return."
"And who is Ran-chan's retainer?" asked Ukyo with a frown. With
Ranma's luck it was probably another drop dead gorgeous woman.
"Why, that would be me dearie!" said a panting voice from the
staircase. Ukyo, Nabiki and Shampoo had looks of disgust come across their
faces as they felt something grab there 'private' areas. Happousai jumped
out from between the three girls before they could attack him and landed in
front of the demon while bending on one knee. "Oh great Inutaisho-sama,
this lowly one is ready to serve you."
The three girls glared at the diminuitive that had recently used
them as human batteries. Since they didn't want to anger the demon they
refrained from bashing Happousai into perverted little bits. However if
looks could kill, he'd be long gone.
"You mean to tell me that this jackass is Ran-chan's retainer?"
"No is true. Ugly pervert man no can teach Airen. He only teach
how to steal underwear! And Airen know all he have to do is ask."
Upon hearing this a hurt expression found it's way onto Happousai's
face. "I do too have things I can teach him." he said with a sniffle. He
then puffed out his chest and took on a look of macho bravado. "I too am a
very powerful demon."
Both Inutasiho and Cologne rolled their eyes at this proclamation
"What do you know about being a demon? You're just a nasty old pervert."
"You'd be surprised!" he sneered as his extra arms popped out of
his body.
Cologne gasped in shock, but then narrowed her eyes at the short
man. "I would run Happi."
"What? Why?" he asked as the reason why took the form of three
different battle auras flamed into existence behind Cologne. Ukyo, Shampoo
and, surprisingly, Nabiki glared at the old man.
"YOU PERVERT!!"
Happousai, confused as to why he's being targeted, looked down into
his hands and his eyes bugged out in happiness. In his hands were two bras,
3 panties and chest bindings. "SWEETO!!" Unfortunately, his feeling of
happiness was short lived as he felt a spatula, bonbori and shoe connect
with his head simultaneously, thus knocking him out.
The three girls took back their unmentionables from the old mans
unconscious form and, after smashing him again for good measure, moved back
behind Cologne.
The demon watched on in amusement as he watched his new servant being
punished. He turned toward the girls who now stood behind Cologne and addressed
them. "Alright I admit, some demons are evil and perverse, but I'm not."
Cologne raised her eyebrows in a questioning manner but said nothing.
"I must admit that he's a little...rough around the edges, but he'll
get the job done." said a voice from behind Cologne.
Cologne jumped in surprise as she had not felt the person sneak up behind
her. The person in question was a short woman who looked more aged than Cologne
herself and leaned heavily on a gnarled wooden cane. She watched as the woman
limped toward Happousai's prone form, tsked, walked over him and kneeled before
the demon.
"It is a pleasure to serve you again Inutaisho-sama."
His only form of recognition of the woman was a slight nod.
"I must apologize for, this. He got ahead of me before I could stop him.
"No matter Baba. I am about to give the test. And I need you here to
help Ranma if, when I'm finished he, (nudges Happousai with his foot) is not yet
awake."
"Yes master."
"Oh, and when Ranma wakes up, give him these." The demon held out his
hand, palm up, and Baba watched as the hand ignited with black fire. Two scrolls
appeared from out of the fire and he handed them to her.
"It shall be done master."
With a slight shudder, he turned to face the residents of the dojo who,
at the time, were either angry or shocked. "I will need a place to meditate in
order to conduct the test, may I use your dojo?"
Soun nodded as he continued supporting Akane's head on his lap while
Kasumi was bandaging up the deep scratches Ranma's claws had left in her back
and side. "Will my baby girl be alright?"
"She will be fine, she just needs rest."
"What about my son? What will happen if he fails or passes your test?"
Nodoka asked filled with worry for her only son.
"If he fails the test he will either, never wake up, or wake up and go
into a murderous rage. If he passes and wakes up calmly, he will train in his
new powers with his retainer until the next school year. Which was what he
wanted to do in the first place."
"Where will they go? With the way Ranma looks now, it's going to be
hard to keep a low profile." asked Nabiki thinking of getting one last photo
session of Ranma's new look before he left.
Inutaisho picked up the unconscious form of Happousai and rooted
through his clothes. His hand closed around a handle and he pulled out a
mirror. "We use this."
Cologne gasped at what the demon had in his hands. "My tribes Nanban
mirror! Give that to me at once! It belongs to the Joketsuzoku Amazons!" she
said as she grabbed at the mirror.
Inutaisho held it just out of her reach and sneered at the old womans
feeble attempts. "This belonged to me before it was yours!"
"Liar! That mirror has been passed down from the Matriarchs for the
past 3,000 years!"
"That's a lie it was stolen from my collection over 600 years ago by
a group of wandering gypsies. And I know that because I made it myself!" He
growled back in anger.
"If you made it, why is there no demonic signature on it?" challenged
Cologne.
He britled at the question. 'How dare this fossil questin my word!'
Inutaisho's eyes once again began to glow a bright golden color as he grew more
and more angry.
Cologne knew at that moment that she had overstepped her bounds on that
one. On the outside, Cologne was matching the demon, glare for glare. However
on the inside she was pissing her robes.
Baba decided to interrupt her master's staring contest and cleared her
throat. "Master, the test."
Inutaisho broke out of the staring contest and nodded to Baba. He walked
halfway down the stairs and then looked back. The Amazon was still glaring at the
spot that he was once occupying. Baba walked up to her and tapped the elder on
the forehead. Cologne, stiff as a board, fell over unconscious with her eyes
still open.
"Aiya! Great-Grandmother faint!"
The demon just smiled to himself as he descended the stairs. 'Heh I still
got it!'
---------------------------------Sengoku Jidai-----------------------------------
Inu Yasha sat with a large sweatdrop on his head as he listened to Kagome
try to teach him something she called math. Every so often he would glare at
Miroku and Sango who were laying on the floor, out of sight of Kagome but not
him, laughing their asses off. Kagome was in front of him doing an extremely
stupid dance while singing about looking left and right before you cross the
street and about people having affairs. She said that this was supposed to teach
him about numbers but he wasn't getting it. What aggravated him further was the
fact that Shippo had caught on to what she was doing and was dancing alongside her.
After the sixth time of hearing it he couldn't take it anymore.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!" he shouted in frustration. "Is this the
crap you learn at this 'high school' of yours? Cuz if it is than this is a
waste of shard collecting time!"
Shippo "hmphed" and crossed his arms. "You're just jealous that I got it
and you didn't."
Inu Yasha bristled at the insult and lunged at Shippo and started bashing
him on the head. "Me jealous of you! Dream on brat!"
"Inu Yasha!"
"What Wench!"
"SIT!"
*BAM* "DAMN YOU WENCH!"
"Now we have to start all over again."
"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

that matter." Genma asked then quickly realized what he did and went back
to bowing and scraping.
"Lazy Panda man speak truth, Airen would never attack Violent Pervert
girl." Shampoo said with sadness underlying her voice as Ukyo nodded sadly
behind her.
"Ran-chan holds his honor very highly. He wouldn't do something like
that."
"That's easily explained. The girl has the stench of a phoenix on her.
A snotty demi-god if I remember correctly."
"Are you telling us the girl smells like Saffron?" asked Cologne, a
look of doubt crossing her face.
The demon shook his head. "Not only smells like, feels like. Ranma
did something very odd to the girl. It seems he mixed some of Saffrons ki
with hers in order to keep her alive. Which is why her aura feels like
Saffrons. When her natural ki is reproducing itself it expels the foreign
ki from the body. Since this goes on all the time her body smells like
Saffron."
"Is that dangerous?" Soun asked.
"No. She should be able to burn out all of his ki since her's is the
dominant one that is constantly being produced within the body. The ki will
trigger her emotions to overreact for a couple of days but that's not so bad.
According to my observations, with Ranma gone she won't be too destructive."
"Does that mean you're taking my son away? Why?" Nodoka asked .
"I'm sure you can all feel his aura, right?" he asked as the people in
the hallway all nodded their heads. "What do you feel?"
"Darkness." answered Cologne.
"Death." Genma said than quickly went back to cowering.
"Evil and Hatred." said Nabiki.
"That's right. If I leave after giving the test and Ranma still
doesn't have control of all these emotions and feelings he will become
extremely dangerous. To himself and to others. His retainer will teach
him what to do when I am gone and when he is finished, Ranma will return."
"And who is Ran-chan's retainer?" asked Ukyo with a frown. With
Ranma's luck it was probably another drop dead gorgeous woman.
"Why, that would be me dearie!" said a panting voice from the
staircase. Ukyo, Nabiki and Shampoo had looks of disgust come across their
faces as they felt something grab there 'private' areas. Happousai jumped
out from between the three girls before they could attack him and landed in
front of the demon while bending on one knee. "Oh great Inutaisho-sama,
this lowly one is ready to serve you."
The three girls glared at the diminuitive that had recently used
them as human batteries. Since they didn't want to anger the demon they
refrained from bashing Happousai into perverted little bits. However if
looks could kill, he'd be long gone.
"You mean to tell me that this jackass is Ran-chan's retainer?"
"No is true. Ugly pervert man no can teach Airen. He only teach
how to steal underwear! And Airen know all he have to do is ask."
Upon hearing this a hurt expression found it's way onto Happousai's
face. "I do too have things I can teach him." he said with a sniffle. He
then puffed out his chest and took on a look of macho bravado. "I too am a
very powerful demon."
Both Inutasiho and Cologne rolled their eyes at this proclamation
"What do you know about being a demon? You're just a nasty old pervert."
"You'd be surprised!" he sneered as his extra arms popped out of
his body.
Cologne gasped in shock, but then narrowed her eyes at the short
man. "I would run Happi."
"What? Why?" he asked as the reason why took the form of three
different battle auras flamed into existence behind Cologne. Ukyo, Shampoo
and, surprisingly, Nabiki glared at the old man.
"YOU PERVERT!!"
Happousai, confused as to why he's being targeted, looked down into
his hands and his eyes bugged out in happiness. In his hands were two bras,
3 panties and chest bindings. "SWEETO!!" Unfortunately, his feeling of
happiness was short lived as he felt a spatula, bonbori and shoe connect
with his head simultaneously, thus knocking him out.
The three girls took back their unmentionables from the old mans
unconscious form and, after smashing him again for good measure, moved back
behind Cologne.
The demon watched on in amusement as he watched his new servant being
punished. He turned toward the girls who now stood behind Cologne and addressed
them. "Alright I admit, some demons are evil and perverse, but I'm not."
Cologne raised her eyebrows in a questioning manner but said nothing.
"I must admit that he's a little...rough around the edges, but he'll
get the job done." said a voice from behind Cologne.
Cologne jumped in surprise as she had not felt the person sneak up behind
her. The person in question was a short woman who looked more aged than Cologne
herself and leaned heavily on a gnarled wooden cane. She watched as the woman
limped toward Happousai's prone form, tsked, walked over him and kneeled before
the demon.
"It is a pleasure to serve you again Inutaisho-sama."
His only form of recognition of the woman was a slight nod.
"I must apologize for, this. He got ahead of me before I could stop him.
"No matter Baba. I am about to give the test. And I need you here to
help Ranma if, when I'm finished he, (nudges Happousai with his foot) is not yet
awake."
"Yes master."
"Oh, and when Ranma wakes up, give him these." The demon held out his
hand, palm up, and Baba watched as the hand ignited with black fire. Two scrolls
appeared from out of the fire and he handed them to her.
"It shall be done master."
With a slight shudder, he turned to face the residents of the dojo who,
at the time, were either angry or shocked. "I will need a place to meditate in
order to conduct the test, may I use your dojo?"
Soun nodded as he continued supporting Akane's head on his lap while
Kasumi was bandaging up the deep scratches Ranma's claws had left in her back
and side. "Will my baby girl be alright?"
"She will be fine, she just needs rest."
"What about my son? What will happen if he fails or passes your test?"
Nodoka asked filled with worry for her only son.
"If he fails the test he will either, never wake up, or wake up and go
into a murderous rage. If he passes and wakes up calmly, he will train in his
new powers with his retainer until the next school year. Which was what he
wanted to do in the first place."
"Where will they go? With the way Ranma looks now, it's going to be
hard to keep a low profile." asked Nabiki thinking of getting one last photo
session of Ranma's new look before he left.
Inutaisho picked up the unconscious form of Happousai and rooted
through his clothes. His hand closed around a handle and he pulled out a
mirror. "We use this."
Cologne gasped at what the demon had in his hands. "My tribes Nanban
mirror! Give that to me at once! It belongs to the Joketsuzoku Amazons!" she
said as she grabbed at the mirror.
Inutaisho held it just out of her reach and sneered at the old womans
feeble attempts. "This belonged to me before it was yours!"
"Liar! That mirror has been passed down from the Matriarchs for the
past 3,000 years!"
"That's a lie it was stolen from my collection over 600 years ago by
a group of wandering gypsies. And I know that because I made it myself!" He
growled back in anger.
"If you made it, why is there no demonic signature on it?" challenged
Cologne.
He britled at the question. 'How dare this fossil questin my word!'
Inutaisho's eyes once again began to glow a bright golden color as he grew more
and more angry.
Cologne knew at that moment that she had overstepped her bounds on that
one. On the outside, Cologne was matching the demon, glare for glare. However
on the inside she was pissing her robes.
Baba decided to interrupt her master's staring contest and cleared her
throat. "Master, the test."
Inutaisho broke out of the staring contest and nodded to Baba. He walked
halfway down the stairs and then looked back. The Amazon was still glaring at the
spot that he was once occupying. Baba walked up to her and tapped the elder on
the forehead. Cologne, stiff as a board, fell over unconscious with her eyes
still open.
"Aiya! Great-Grandmother faint!"
The demon just smiled to himself as he descended the stairs. 'Heh I still
got it!'
---------------------------------Sengoku Jidai-----------------------------------
Inu Yasha sat with a large sweatdrop on his head as he listened to Kagome
try to teach him something she called math. Every so often he would glare at
Miroku and Sango who were laying on the floor, out of sight of Kagome but not
him, laughing their asses off. Kagome was in front of him doing an extremely
stupid dance while singing about looking left and right before you cross the
street and about people having affairs. She said that this was supposed to teach
him about numbers but he wasn't getting it. What aggravated him further was the
fact that Shippo had caught on to what she was doing and was dancing alongside her.
After the sixth time of hearing it he couldn't take it anymore.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!" he shouted in frustration. "Is this the
crap you learn at this 'high school' of yours? Cuz if it is than this is a
waste of shard collecting time!"
Shippo "hmphed" and crossed his arms. "You're just jealous that I got it
and you didn't."
Inu Yasha bristled at the insult and lunged at Shippo and started bashing
him on the head. "Me jealous of you! Dream on brat!"
"Inu Yasha!"
"What Wench!"
"SIT!"
*BAM* "DAMN YOU WENCH!"
"Now we have to start all over again."
"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
