Summary:

Cologne found the legendary Tetsusaiga that was known to slay thousand youkais in one go.

Shampoo, Akane, Kodaichi and Ukyou joined in the race for their personal motives. On the other side, the activation of the present Tetsusaiga sealed off the bone-eating well's time traveling ability and Kagome found herself trapped in the Warring time!



Title: The Tetsusaiga-Race



Like any other morning, in the cat-restaurant, Cologne hunted through her belongings in the storeroom. She was looking for her secret ramen receipt handed down from her clan fifty years ago.

A big and long wooden chest hid among the don't-know-what-it-is items.

"That must be the one!"

Pulling and dragging, she finally got it out before her. Thick dust and spider-web caked it like a coat of cotton wool. Carefully, she drew her feather duster and cleaned it. There was a lock and a warning sign 'Do not open it' on it. A number of Buddhist paper seals were pasted all over it.

"Heh! That must be the one I'm looking for," she thought and pulled out her tools to open it.

"With my expertise, I can open anything in one minute!"

Eight hours passed. The chest remained locked and shut.

"NANI????!!!!! How can this be possible???!!!! There must be no openings in the first place or else I! The box-opening expert!! Should have open it in no time!"

She gave up and threw the box aside. It rolled and hit against the wall. A crack appeared. Strong beam of light shot out of the leak. Lines of light branched out from the crack. The box burst out, burning the paper seals and sending rays of light across the room.

Cologne grasped: "It.. It is the legendary.."

~~**~~

It was another morning. Or it would have been a nice day if..

"RANMA NO BAKA!!!!"

"WATER BACKET-WAIST AND NOT KAWAII!!!"

~WRACK!!!!~

A big hammer slammed down on Saotome Ranma's head.

"I'M GOING OFF!!" Tendou Akane puffed into the air angrily and stomped off to school, leaving the flatted Ranma lying on the ground.

"Hello, Ranma!" A clear and cheerful voice called, accompanied by a tinkle of the bicycle. Before Ranma could recover from Akane's blow, a bicycle landed on his head.

"I've got some news for you, Ranma!" It was Shampoo.

"Can you please remove the wheels from my head first before talking to me, Shampoo?" The almost-flatted Ranma muttered under the bike.

"Tetsusaiga?" asked Ranma later, sitting with his legs folded on the street with Shampoo. Many passingbys stared at them. He forgot about going to school. Ranma skipped school again.

"Yes! It was a legendary sword passed down from the Warring Period 500 years ago. It was said to slay thousands of youkai in one blow!" Shampoo chanted.

"My grandmother found it in the storeroom. It was passed down from one of our clan's ancestor, Sango-sama, she was also known as the last youkai- eliminator in Warring Japan."

"So, that was a sword used by a youkai eliminator?"

"I'm not too sure, but my grandmother feared it'll fall into wrong hands. She intended to pass it to you after we've got married. For it, just kick that annoying marriage with Tendou away, Ranma!" Shampoo exclaimed excitedly, crossing her hands on her chest.

From a rooftop, a small dark figure was eavesdropping. It was Happousai.

"Teeheehee, I've heard everything, I must get that Tetsusaiga, and then no one will be my match!"

"Ha-choo!" Akane sneezed in the classroom. She looked around. Some one must be scolding behind her back. She looked at the empty Ranma's seat.

"Ranma no baka! He's skipping school again!"

~~***~~~ 500 years in the Warring Period ~~**~~

"Kagome! I forbid it!!!!" the white-haired Inu Hanyou with a pair of dog- ears on top- Inuyasha snarled and growled at the girl in green school uniform.

"Please, Inuyasha! I've got an important mock examination three days from now! If I fail, I'll have to retake it again!!"

"I don't care!!! We still have to search for that shikon no tama!! Is examinations so important??!!! Shikon no Tama is MORE IMPORTANT!!!!" Inuyasha shot back.

Afar, Sango, Miroku and Shippou were quietly slipping their tea round the fire, ignoring them. They were always quarrelling over the same matters and the three friends were utterly tired of saying anything.

"How's the tea, Shippou?" Sango asked, ignoring the quarrels a few distance away from them.

"A bit sweet, would be better if it is cooler," Shippou sighed.

Afar, the quarrel continued.

"So, Inuyasha, is my future NOT important after all?" Kagome said slowly. Inuyasha could feel her angry aura gradually burning from her body.

~Sweat drop~

"I don't care whatever you say, I'm going off!" Kagome started to fume and stomped off.

"OH NO! You are not going anywhere!" Inuyasha screamed, pulling a big rock and prepared to crash it onto the bone-eating well: "Keh Heh Heh!! I'll smash this well into pieces and you'll have to stay on here FOREVER!"

'Os..!!" Kagome began.

Inuyasha's dog-ear twisted towards the direction of her voice and his necklace shone.

"Oh no, not AGAIN!!" he thought.

"OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSU--WA--RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!....."

Inuyasha's necklace beamed many times and he fell onto the ground with a thump.

"I wish that stupid well will NOT work!!!" Inuyasha cursed angrily, still struggling on the ground.

"I'll bring something nice to you a few days later, Inuyasha! Jai nah!" Kagome called and jumped into the well.

"AHHHHHHHHH...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome's shriek suddenly broke out in the well.

"KAGOME!!" Inuyasha ignored the pain on his back and leaped into the well.

Kagome was sitting in the well, safe and sound, but her face turned pale.

"I CAN'T GO BACK TO MY TIME!!" She wailed.

"Huh?" Inuyasha looked at the ground. True enough, it was now an ordinary well. There was no reaction and the sun continued to shine on top of the opening.

'When did my curse become so accurate?' he wondered.

A few moments later in Kaeda's hut..

Kagome was still sobbing, sneezing and wiping her tears on her handichief.

"Don't cry, Kagome, maybe that well's lose its power for time being," Miroku consoled her, edging closer to her. Sango's angry glare forced him back.

"Now I'll fail my examinations.. Sob, sob,"

"Oh, come on, it's just mock examinations. Just retake it a few days later!" Inuyasha growled a few distance away, trying to conceal his groans. He was lying with his back upwards. A bag of cold water laid on it to heal the pain caused by Kagome's chants.

"That's easier said than done! I'll be black-listed in class!" Kagome sobbed.

"..."

"You can try again next day, Kagome, maybe the power has wear off temporally." Sango shrugged.

~~***~~ 500 years into present day Japan ~~***~~

"Baa baa! Is it true that there's a powerful sword known as Tetsusaiga in your store?" Kunou stormed the cat restaurant with his sword over his shoulder and called to Cologne.

"Huh? Who told you that?"

"This paper did!" He dug his hand into his dark purple kimono and held a piece of paper to her.

It read:

'GREAT POWERFUL SWORD-TETSUSAIGA! KNOWN TO HEIGHTEN YOUR STRENGTH AND SLAY MILLIONS OF ENEMIES IN ONE GO! FOR FURTHER ENQUIRES-GO AND LOOK FOR CAT RESTAURANT'S OWNER-COLOGNE!!'

"It must be Happousai again," Cologne fumed to herself. He must be thinking of creating havocs in her store and steal it amidst the confusions.

"I want to buy it," Kunou said, flashing his money from his purse.

"NO! I'M BUYING IT!!!" Ryouga appeared from nowhere and leaped between Cologne and Kunou, fearing the sword would fall into other people's hand.

"NO!!!! It's for me and Shampoo's wedding!" Mousse called from behind, pushing the bowls of ramen that he was supposed to serve the customers on the table and rushed to Cologne.

"What a mess!" Ranma and Shampoo witnessed the great commotion in the shop as they stepped into it. Three teenagers were fighting and shouting around Cologne.

"Mmmm, that's interesting." Cologne muttered, crossing her arms.

"We'll have a competition. The winner shall get Tetsusaiga!"

"That's not fair. Grandmother! It's supposed to be my dowry for me and Ranma's wedding!!" Shampoo protested.

"Don't worry, Shampoo, I've a plan to make sure my grandson-in-law marry you successfully in the end," Cologne whispered to her.

Aloud, she announced: "There'll be a coconut slashing competition at the beach two days later. The winner shall get Tetsusaiga!"

"DEAL!!!" The four young men echoed.

On the shop's roof, Genma, `kouchou' "principal" and Happousai overheard the conversation. Genma and `kouchou' "principal" were holding that piece of paper each. Happousai was holding a big pile (he was in the middle of throwing the pamphlets).

"Keh! Heh! Heh!!! I'm joining the fun!" the Kouchou principal, Happousai and Genma thought.

'I must remember to change the contents of my pamphlets.' Thought Happousai.





'The Tetsusaiga Race" to be continue...
