A Ranma 1/2 and Inu Yasha Crossover

around as I see fit. HA HA HA!
Chapter 3: The Trick Is To Not Get Caught
----------------------------Bone Eaters Well---------------------------
Inu Yasha sat on the rim of the well, staring into it as he
curled his lips in fury. "Why the hell does she always have to go home
whenever she gets angry! Damn wench treats me like some stupid pet!"
Miroku, Sango and Shippo watched from under a bush as Inu Yasha
started to pace back and forth on top of the well.
"I can't believe that Inu Yasha can be so stupid sometimes."
Miroku commented through half lidded eyes.
"He's not the only one." Sango snorted as she removed the monks
hand from her rear.
"Oh, how did that get there?" he said innocently as he rubbed the
red hand print on his cheek.
"Honestly I don't know which of you is worse." Sango icily
replied as she continued to observe Inu Yasha.
Shippo merely watched in fascination as the two bickering humans
provided him with enough entertainment to get his mind off of Kagome.
'It's like they're mates.' he thought happily to himself as he sat
back and watched the two trade insults, gropes, and smacks, silently
as to not get Inu Yasha's attention.
------------------------------In A Tree------------------------------
Ranma looked down on the the couple bickering in the bushes below
him. 'What an uncute tomboy.' he thought to himself as he watched the
proceeding silent battle ensue. His eyes lifted from the arguing
couple and stared at his target. He watched all of Inu Yasha's
movements very carefully. Trying to figure out any weaknesses he may
have.
He noticed that his target carried himself well, like a warrior.
Meaning that he would be no pushover. The demon seemed to be arguing
with someone who wasn't there. He shrugged it off as a demon thing and
kept watching. He observed the ears on top of Inu Yasha's head which
semmed to twitch in every direction every so often. 'With those ears
he's bound to have good hearing, which means sneaking up on him will be
hard.'
He also took notice of Inu Yasha's nose. 'If he's a dog youkai
like his brother that means he has a good sense of smell, lucky for me
I'm upwind(1) so he can't smell me. He has claws and based upon the
fact that he's been pacing on the rim of a well thats only a couple of
centimeters thick, he has good balance. This might be harder than I
thought.'
Ranma's mind flashed back to all of the training his father had
given him in theearly part of their trip.
~"If you can take it before they catch you it's yours boy."~
Ranma had used this very often in order to get things like food,
clothing and other necessities that he needed. Only thing was he used
his oponents weakness against them. Most of the people who he stole
from were overweight and couldn't run fast, or for long, or the people
were just naive never expecting a little boy to be capable of such
trickery. However he had never stolen from someone who could obviously
defend themselves against him.
His eyes focused on the sword and scabbard at Inu Yasha's side
and he sighed to himself. 'I can't believe she talked me into this.'
*****Flashback*****
"So you'rrre saying all I have to do is grrab this Tetsu whatever
from this half demon guy and you'll let me stay."
Sesshomaru looked through lidded eyes at the cat demon in front
of him. Jaken watched in horror as a huge smile broke out onto
Sesshomaru's face. "You think that YOU can get the sword."
"What's the big deal? I rrrun up to him, I snag it, I rrrun
away." Ranma said with a cocky smile. "I ain't neverrr been caught yet."
Sesshomaru looked past Ranma and caught sight of Rin's
pleading face behind the cat. With a sigh and a wave of his hand he
agreed.
Rin got a smile on her face which quickly turned to hesitation
as Sesshomaru continued.
"But on one condition. You have to do it before the next sun
sets, for that's when we will leave this camp. I can not tell you that
I will be not be surprised if you do not suceed." He absently rubbed at
his left stump as he walked away. "Inu Yasha is stronger than he
seems."
Jaken followed Sesshomarus form, sputtering indignations and
questions as Rin and Ranma were left alone in the camp.
Ranma smiled as he gave Rin a victory sign. Rin, not knowing
what the gesture meant smiled back and copied the movement. "So all I
have to do now is find this guy." Ranma scratched the back of his head
as he realised he had no idea where this Inu Yasha guy was. He turned
to Rin. "Do you know wherrre he is?"
Rin shrugged her shoulders as Ranma's slumped in disappointment.
"How am I supposed to get the sworrrd if I don't even know wherre he is."
He commented and sat down as he started to think.
Rin copied Ranma's gestures and, placing her fist under her chin,
sat down and began to think as well. After a couple of minutes she popped
up excitedly and grabbed his arm. "The Well! The Well!"
"Well, what well?" Ranma asked confused.
"Sesshomaru-sama told me that Inu Yasha hangs out in a town that
has a well." She said while smiling, happy that she had figured it out.
Ranma sweatdropped as he sat back down. "All towns have wells
Rrin."
Rin continued to smile cutely and shook her head. "Uh-uh not
like this one they don't"
Ranma looked up at Rin's smiling face and asked. "What's so
special about this well."
"The bone eaters well is the resting place for any demon stupid
enough to attack that village." a voice from behind Ranma said. Ranma
quickly turned and came face to kneecap with...
"Jaken-sama you know where to find Inu Yasha?" Rin said happily.
"Okay shorrty so spill the beans, how do I find this well."
Jaken snarled at the boy but kept most of his temper in check.
With the staff of his heads in his hands he pushed the point into the
ground. The heads on the top rotated and the old man's head began to
scream. "Go in the direction the old man faces, there you will find
your well, and your death." with a snort of anger Jaken left the two
pre-teens to their own devices and returned to Sesshomaru.
Ranma stared in the direction that had been pointed out to him.
The air felt wrong. His mastery of the Cat Fist had given him an
extraordinary sense of smell and the air coming from that direction felt,
off. With a shake of his head he turned back to Rin. "Well then I
guess I'll be going to fight the big bad demon Inu Yasha."
"Bye bye Ranma!" Rin said happily as she waved at the cat demon.
She then slapped her fist in her hand and said "Oh yeah," she walked up
to Ranma and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "For luck." she then bounded
in the direction of Sesshomaru, happily skipping all the way.
Ranma sat rooted to where he was standing, unable to move. He
then shivered and wiped his hand on his cheek. "Girrrls, Yuck!"
*****End Flashback*****
Ranma absently rubbed against his cheek a strange feeling growing
in his stomach. 'Okay Ranma don't be nervous. You are Ranma Saotome,
the only practitioner and master of the Saotome style of Anything Goes
Martial Arts. No demon can spook me.' He puffed out his chest and looked
back down at the bushes, noting the disappearance of the three figures
who used to be under him. He looked around warily afraid that he was
discovered. He slunk back in the tree and cautiously sniffed the air
and listened for anything. Sensing nothing he figured they had gone back
to the village. He let out a short breath and looked back to Inu Yasha
who was pacing even faster.
He watched as inu Yasha turned one corner and then another, and
another and kept watching as his target continued pacing the well. 'I
have only one shot at this.' he thought as he loosened his claws. 'I have
to time it just right.' Ranma waited until Inu Yasha was making a turn
and then snapped into action. He launched three nails at the spot where
Inu yasha would place his foot down. Almost simultaneously he silently
lept off the tree and ran toward the well. He was running so fast that he
could see the nails flying a few feet ahead of him.
Inu Yasha heard a quick wishing sound as well as three thunks. He
turned toward the sound and found himself face to face with a black blur
heading straight for him. He put his foot down and was prepared to draw his
sword when he stepped on Ranma's nails, puncturing his feet and tripping him
so he fell into the well. The blur flew past him as he fell and he felt it
take something. When he hit the bottom of the well he found that due to the
nails in his foot it was hard to stand. "What the fuck..." He then looked
upward and heard a mocking voice.
"THANKS FOR THE SWORRRD DOG-BOY!!!"
Inu Yasha snarled in rage and leapt out of the well, only to land on
his injured foot making him fall down. "SHIT!!" Inu Yasha howled in pain as
he felt the nails open wounds in his feet. He glared at the blurred figure
which had almost gone beyond the horizon. "I'll get you, you little shit!"
He cursed as he limped after the boy only to be tripped by Miroku's staff.
"What the hell are you doing! Someones getting away with my sword!"
Miroku looked toward where Inu Yasha was pointing and saw nothing.
"What are you talking about?" he asked as Sango and Shippo caught up to him.
"We heard you howl and came running."
"Something took my sword!" he said as he got back to his feet and
cursed when he put his foot down. He sat on the ground and pulled the nails
out of his foot. He inspected each one and sniffed it. "Cat Youkai." he
said with disdain.
Just then a running figure came up to the group revealing itself to
be Kagome with a large back pack. "So, what did I miss?"
---------------------------In a Nearby Tree----------------------------
From a tree not to far away from where the encounter between Inu
Yasha and Ranma had taken place, a pair of golden eyes peered out from
the shadows and watched as Ranma ran off with the Tetsusaiga tucked
closely under his arm. The eyes watched the young cat youkai run back
to his camp happily. The eyes turned toward Inu Yasha and his company
as they helped the half demon back to his feet. 'It's amazing how one
so young can be so fearless.' With a smirk the shadow disappeared into
the trees heading back to it's masters castle ready to give it's
report.
-------------------------In a Different Tree--------------------------
Kagura observed the skirmish between Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru's
new cat friend with interest. She was both shocked that the young
youkai was able to snatch away the Tetsusaiga from the hanyou's hands
and was angered by the fact that she had not been able to do just that.
Kagura watched Ranma scurry off further into the forest and smiled to
herself. 'I can kill two birds with one stone if I get that sword.
I'll have enough power to kill Inu Yasha and Naraku.' With an evil
smile adorning her face she called out her feather and quickly flew
after the young demon. 'I will be free, I will!'
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After running about 5 miles away from Inu Yasha, Ranma stopped
and leaned against a tree to catch his breath. Ranma coughed and
hacked as he tried his best to breathe without getting cramps. He
looked behind him to find that he had literally left a blazing trail
in his wake. The route he had taken was outlined by two ruts in the
grass where his feet were. He silently cursed to himself. 'Crap if
that Inu Yasha guy is on my tail these tracks will lead him right to
me!'
Ranma looked at the sword he had swiped from the demon and
looked carefully at it. 'What's so good about this thing? It's just
a rusty old sword. Hmph just two dogs fighting over a bone I guess.'
He tied the scabbard onto his pants and prepared to travel the rest of
the way back to Sesshomaru's camp by jumping through the trees.
He prepared to jump into the nearest tree when he was stopped by
a clapping sound. He turned toward the sound to find the woman that
Sesshomaru had said was responsible for attacking them yesterday
sitting in a tree with a grin on her face.
"I must say you do put on quite a show boy." Kagura said as she
hopped off the tree and started walking toward the juvenile cat youkai.
"I was very amused."
"My goal was not amuse you obasan(2)." Ranma remarked with a
smirk as he stood his ground.
Kagura's eye twitched as she fought the urge to just out right
attack the boy. But she wasn't like that. It was one thing she and
cat youkai had in common, she liked to play with her prey before she
killed them. With a smile she brushed off the boys rude comment and
continued walking toward him. "So now Sesshomaru has you running
errands for him?" she mocked in a condescending tone.
"I am no ones serrrvant." he said with a hiss. He was begginning
to agree with Sesshomaru on one thing. He did not trust this woman.
"I know that you didn't follow me to tell me that I amused you, what do
you want?"
With a sigh Kagura put her hand under her chin in a mocking pose,
"What do I want? Many things. Freedom for one, is my goal in life for
now and in order to gain that freedom I'll need the help of a certain,
rusted sword." She told him as she eyed the Tetsusaiga on his hip.
"Well then I wish you luck in that quest. But I can't help
you." he said as he turned his back on her an began to walk away. He
quickly jumped out of the way of four air blades which had hit the
ground where he was previously standing.
"On the contrary I think you can." she told him as she held her
fan close to her chest ready to swing again. She narrowed her eyes as
she looked at him. "Give me the Tetsusaiga!"
END Chapter 3
Well there's chapter 3, Ranmas New Curse 10 should be out soon but
updates on my stories will probably not be as much because it's
time for me to go back to school. Anyway I hope you guys are
enjoying the stories so far.
