Notes
for the Unitiated: This is set in the Assassin and the Fox Universe
where Fujimiya Ran/Aya-kun (from Weiß Kreuz a.k.a. Knight Hunters
- Pilipino translated version) and Kurama/Minamino Shuuichi/Dennis (from
Yu Yu Hakusho a.k.a. Ghostfighter - Pilipino translated version) are siblings.
Ran is the stoic red headed leader of a team of four vigilante assassins,
"the White Hunters" who "hunt the Dark Beasts". Kurama is the redheaded
star student of Meioh High whose actually Youko Kurama a famous fox-demon
thief who decided to become human rather than die. Because of certain
complications Kurama became a Spirit Detective and member of Team Urameshi.
Ran has taken to calling Kurama, Little Fox and spoils him outrageously.

KREUZ-YU YU HAKUSHO - RANMA 1/2 FANFICTION
I.
Knock, knock, nobody's home…
Ran pulled his red Porsche
in front of the stated address. It was a pert little house in a row
of traditional Japanese houses in Nerima. Why do I get myself into
these messes? He didn't want to go and visit their cousins from Nerima
but the Little Fox insisted on going since their okaasan had suggested
it. Ran was still uneasy about having a mother, having cousins was
another major adjustment but if Kurama-chan wanted to go he would go with
the Little Fox to keep him safe.
One good thing was that Aya-chan
couldn't come since she was still trying to catch with her studies.
It was hard enough to take care of the Little Fox. Now that Kurama-chan
was out of their mother's sight he seemed determined to pop out the foxy
ears and tail and turn his formidable intellect to mischief. Nothing
so great that it caused harm, Kurama had more consideration than that but
mischief nonetheless. The motel guests found something to talk about
sudden increase of blooms in the cut flowers or fruit and vines where there
shouldn't be. All of these were shouting: "There was a kitsune here!"
Ran had gritted his teeth through it all. It was just probably a
phase the Little Fox was going through. After eighteen years of restraint
and being a good human, the fox was being given some free rein to run.
He'll grow out of it soon. Or so Ran hoped.
Ran and Kurama got out of
the car to walk up the door, Kurama in the lead. Ran wondered what
was up when Kurama stopped short at the door. He was about to speak out
irritably when he too saw the note.
Dear Cousins,
Our family had to take
an unexpected trip out of the country. We won't be back till next
week. Gomen, make yourselves at home in the guestroom and the rest
of the house. The keys are behind the second pot.
Regards,
Haiichi Kaji
"Okay that's it, Let's
go home." Ran said.
"Aniki, don't be a spoiled
sport. We're suppose to stay with them for two weeks after all."
Kurama said and that was that. Ran pulled up the car into the empty garage
and they begun to get their gear from the car.
They were settling in the
guestroom as per instructed when a knock came from the front door…
***
"Ranma would you escort kindly
Akane to the neighbors house? I promised to welcome the their cousins
for Kaji but I have to make dinner." Kasumi said.
"Awww, why should I do that…
That tomboy can very well take care of herself." Groused Ranma to
be abruptly bopped on the head with the mallet by his reluctant fiancée.
"Ranma, it is the duty of
the fiancé to safeguard his woman from harm." Said his father
Genma Saotome or rather said the placard of the panda that was Genma Saotome.
"Yes, yes, I'm going old
man. Wait up Akane." Ranma said trying to catch up to the angry
girl who was carrying a small snack made by her sister Kasumi. Not
by Akane herself, thank the gods, they wanted their neighbors' cousins
to feel welcomed not poisoned.
"Can I come too. I
saw them pull up into the garage in a foreign car. A red-hot Porsche can
you believe it!" Nabiki exclaimed. The mercenary Tendo sister
was very much interested in wealth, especially in wealthy individuals that
can be induced to part with it. She was now measuring up the current
sheep for shearing so to speak. Maybe they'd want to be introduced
around, or I can charge for introducing girls or boys to them. The
girl looked especially eligible, I bet Kuno would like an introduction...
***
"I'll get it, aniki."
Kurama said, rushing out into the living room then opening the door with
Ran calmly following him.
"Konnichiwa, may I help you?"
The Little Fox smiled as he saw the group of teenagers who were standing
nonchalantly at the doorstep.
"Konnichiwa, my name is Tendo
Akane. We came from the Tendo dojo next door. We were told to welcome
you by Haiichi-san since he couldn't at this time." Said the shorthaired
brunette.
"This is my fiancé
Saotome Ranma and my sister Nabiki." Both the boy with the
braid and the brownhaired girl made polite noises.
"I'm Fujimiya Shuuichi and
this is my aniki, Ran, come in." Kurama said, mischief almost making
fox-ears pop out of his head. He had been introducing himself in
such a manner since this trip. If their cousins had been around maybe
he would have introduced himself in the proper way but then it was his
real name in a matter of speaking anyway. Besides it made for uncomplicated
introductions, people are perpetually asking about the difference in his
and his brother's names.
"Hn."
So these were the wacky neighbors
Kaji was writing about in his letters. They didn't seem at all crazy to
Ran. He looked upon them as they settled down on the couches with
interest. Ranma and Akane looked the part of martial artists though
Nabiki didn't look the part. That one looked the part of merchant
sizing up a customer, Kurama was amused to see. Hmmm, interesting…
"He's glad to meet you too."
The Little Fox said as he opened the snack for everyone to share.
They fell into conversation.
***
The meandering talk had somehow
gone to martial arts. Ran noted sourly that somehow, the rest of
the Tendo dojo had come in at one point in time or so and now everyone
was sitting in the Haiichi living room while they dined on Kasumi's cooking.
"So you've trained in martial
arts."
"Hai, Saotome-san."
"A slender girl like you?
You probably cannot match Akane." Ranma said in disbelief to be bopped
on the head for his impoliteness by the said girl.
"Ah, Ranma-kun, I am not
a girl."
"You're a guy!" Nabiki
exclaimed.
"Hn." Ran said.
Everyone was always mistaking the Little Fox for a girl. He wondered
some times if Kurama had carefully cultivated the image out of mischief
but then the femininity of his face and form were something he couldn't
help. It came with the body.
"Aniki says everyone makes
that mistake…"
"What discipline?"
"None in particular, Tendo-san."
"Why not come to the dojo
sometime to practice sometime, Ranma could use the practice."
"I thank you for the generous
offer, Saotome-san, but I couldn't impose…"
"Impose nothing, my future
son-in-law needs all the practice he can get!" Tendo-san said.
Hn, he'll get practice
all right. He'll probably be lucky if the Little Fox doesn't toss
him into the next month.
"I will consider it then.
Arigatou, Tendo-san."
In hindsight, much later
after the incident Ran felt that he should have known better at that time,
he should have taken the Little Fox into his car and drive away.
He too had heard that these particular neighbors of their cousins were
crazy, he should have known better. That's when it all began…
~TBC~
Author's Note: Ummm,
how was it? Erm, I need a Ranma 1/2 episode to base the rest of the fanfic
on, does anyone have a suggestion which episode should I use?
If you guys are wondering how Ran and Kurama ended up as brothers you can
read the first part of "Oniisan". It's here somewhere
^o^()!
About
My Other Fics: I know I still owe people:
1. "Oniisan".
*runs and hides under the table* Meep! Here's a clue, I'll
post faster with nagging so put up the reviews and I'll see what I can
do, ne? ^o^() Rest assured that this won't finish before "Oniisan"
since I don't wanna spoil the ending too much.
2. The next installment
of my Crawford/Ran Arc (now entitled "Behind the Rivalry"), gomen but my
muse is refusing to move on that score =^.^=.
3. The parody about
Farfie being a priest. Another thing that my muse refuses to produce
anything about.=^.^=
