Summary:
Cologne found the legendary Tetsusaiga that was known to slay thousand youkais in one go. Saotome Ranma, Genma, Ryouga, Kunou, `kouchou' principal, Happousai, Mousse, 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! Back in the present time, the story of Tetsusaiga became more and more distorted.
The Tetsusaiga-Race: Chapter Four
Inuyasha in Present Tokyo
"Ranma, why does P-Chan looks so moody?" Akane asked Ranma after they reached home from the beach.
"Dunno, maybe it did not get its favourite fooodd. Argg, ouch!!" the little piglet bit Ranma's pointing finger.
"You stupid piglet!!" Ranma growled and started to hit P-Chan.
"Don't you dare to bully my P-Chan!!" Akane slammed her mallet onto Ranma's head. P-Chan took the opportunity to escape.
"COME BACK YOU STUPID PIGLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ranma jumped away from Akane and raced after the running black piglet.
"Ranma!! I DEMAND you to RETURN my TETSUSAIGA!!!!!!!!!!" A voice boomed behind Ranma. It was Happousai.
Ranma tossed something small and light into the air.
"MY TREASURE!!!!!!!!!!!" Happousai cried with sparkling eyes. It was a bra. He skipped after it instead.
"Heh! One annoying thing gone!" Ranma grinned and continued his chase.
Unfortunately, within the little time, P-Chan was gone. Ranma found himself in the street.
"RANMA!!! You bastard, return me my Tetsusaiga!!!" Kunou appeared from nowhere and leaped at him with his wooden sword.
"Huh~! When did the sword becomes yours?!" Ranma kicked Kunou into the air with two fingers sticking out in each hand.
"Huh, huh, Ranma, you've bullied me enough, now it's my turn for revenge," Ryouga's voice appeared from behind: "TIME TO MEET YOUR DOOM!!!!" He leaped and started fighting with Ranma.
"Crap, why did everyone pick on me?!" Ranma fumed.
~~~~~~ IN KAGOME'S HOUSE ~~~~~
"I FORBID IT!!!!!!" Inuyasha roared on top of his voice.
"Hey, that was a last minute notice, Inuyasha!!" Kagome fumed after she returned from school: "Because of my last absence, my teacher has organized another exams for me in one week's time. Surely one week is short enough for you to wait, right?!"
"ONE WEEK????!!!!! It's tooooo MUCH!!! Four days too much!!!" Inuyasha snarled. Usually, Kagome would stay in her own time for three days and returned to the warring
"I have spent too much time in the Warring Period, Inuyasha, and I should spend more time here preparing for my. ... Inuyasha?!!"
Her window was wide opened and the curtains waved in the wind. Inuyasha had leaped out of her room again without waiting for her to complete her sentence.
"Oh... He is worse than a primary school kid!" Kagome thought angrily to herself.
Inuyasha leaped among the low-rising houses.
"Feh! What's the meaning of this? Are exams really soooo Important?!?!" Inuyasha puffed as he swiftly leaped from one house roof to another. He needed some cool air to calm himself down. He had traveled on the modern street before and had grown accustomed to the strange features.
Something bright and shiny caught his attention. He jumped down and to examine it. It turned out to be an empty can drink. He picked it up and sniffed. There was an orange scent lingering on it. He looked above him. Some small renovation works were going in the nearest house. Several wooden planks were stacked using some shiny poles with shiny containers on the wooden things. The evening sun burnt in the sky. But wait, something was booming before his eyes and.......
"Oi, Ryouga, you're no match for me!" Ranma called and paused: "Huh? Am I imagining things? Did I kick something?.. Oh oops!!" several wooden planks together with cans of paint fell off.
~~~ CRASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~~~~~
The items fell onto an unaware passingby in red.
"Ranma! Don't you dare to run away!!!?!!" Ryouga screamed, lunging at the watching boy on a rooftop.
"I think I got a little business to attend," Ranma said and skipped off. Ryouga was just in time to prevent himself from crashing onto the roof.
"Oi! Are you alright?!" Ranma approached the victim.
Inuyasha tried to crawl up from the piles of paints and wooden planks. The paint had spilt all over his body, and complained: "Keh! Why do I always bump into those stupid lucks?! First it's Kagome's jii-chan and now this!!"
Inuyasha struggled but before he could get better understanding of what's going on, he was overcome with strong smell of the liquid. Dizziness and stars swept all over him (NOTE again: Inuyasha had a very sensitive nose).
"Wh..what..is this smell?????!! Oh no, Not.. AGA..IN!!!" Inuyasha collapsed among the scattered colours of blue and black.
"Hey! Are you alright?" Ranma called and pushed the cans from Inuyasha. A figure covered in paint from head to toes greeted before his eyes. The 'creature' (Gomen, I have to use the word 'creature' to describe him because he did not look human in Ranma's eyes.) wore in red (or is it red? Because it was covered in blue and black paint) and had long white hair with something furry on top (it was covered in paint too) which Ranma assumed it to be something for hair decoration.
'It must be some funny baa baa or jii-jii.. who likes some funny hair-dos.' Ranma sulked.
"HI! RANMA!!!" A tickle of a bicycle sounded and its wheels landed on Inuyasha's head.
"Uhhhh. Shampoo." Ranma began: "You landed on someone again."
Ryouga's kick flew towards Ranma. He turned aside and the kick hit onto Inuyasha's head: "Oops!"
"Is this old man dying?" Shampoo asked. They could not see his face and dog- ears clearly because Inuyasha was covered with paint, but bits of white on his hair made them misunderstood him as an elderly man.
"Ano, we better take him to the cat restaurant," Shampoo suggested: "He needs a good clean." Feeling guilty, Ranma and Ryouga tagged along. Ranma carried the fainted Inuyasha on his back.
"Eeeeee!!!!!!!" Ukyou screamed outside the cat restaurant: "What is this thing????!!!!!!"
She had gone to look for Cologne to learn more about the secrets of Tetsusaiga when she met Ranma, Ryouga and Shampoo outside the shop. Her eyes were struck onto the unconscious Inuyasha.
"Later, Ukyou," Ryouga said: "We need to settle this poor old man first,"
"What's so noisy outside?" Cologne asked, skipping on her stick outside the shop.
"It's like this, great-grandmother." Shampoo said.
Two hours later, the group stared in amusement at the figure lying on the table. He was free from the paint now. The figure had a very young look of around fifteen or sixteen years old, but his long hair was as white as snow. Most IMPORTANT of all, his look resembled that of Ranma's!
"Hey, Ranma," Ryouga (sweat-drop) began: "Do you have a long lost brother?"
Ranma smiled in a friendly way: "Oh. Only one person knows that..." He raced towards the exit.
"Wait, Ranma, where are you going?" Ukyou called.
"I can't believe that old man of mine still have such 'charm' to look for other woman without my knowing," Ranma said, smilingly: "Sooo."
"I NEED SOME CLARIFICATION FROM HIMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!" Ranma yelled with his face suddenly turned black and angry, booming like a thunder youkai, sticking his tongue like a snake.
"Huh? Isn't he over there?" Shampoo pointed to a panda balancing a tyre with its paws.
"Game's over, old man!" Ranma roared angrily, pulling the tyre away from the animal.
It held up a wooden plank: 'I am just an adorable panda. I don't know anything about it!'
"Use talking!!!! Idiot!!!!!!"
~SPLASH!~~
"You ungrateful son! This water is tooo HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!" Genma screamed through Ranma's ears.
"Hee, hee, is this thing real," Ukyou giggled. Ranma raced back to the unconscious figure on the table. Ukyou was playing with the furry thing on top. None of them had noticed it as they assumed it be something for hair decoration.
"It. it is." Ryouga stammered: "A pair of cat-ears!!!" (NOTE: Inuyasha's ears do resemble cats' sometimes).
"Let me touch! Let me touch!!" Ranma, Genma and Shampoo snatched to rub Inuyasha's white furry ears.
"It's real!"
"Huh?" Cologne noticed something hanging by Inuyasha's waist. She took a closer look.
"Isn't this the lost Tetsusaiga?"
"Heh?!?!" The rest of the people turned and grasped.
Cologne touched the sword. The figure suddenly sat up.
"HEY!!! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE!?!?!?" Inuyasha roared, finding himself lying on a table in a strange place.
"Uh-huh! Let me guess your story," Ranma began: "I believe you have been looking for this! (Pulled Genma to Inuyasha) Irresponsible father and must have gone to Jusenkyou where you fell into a cursed spring in which a boy and a cat drowned in it many years ago, right?"
~SPLASH~
Ranma poured hot water over Inuyasha's head.
"Argggg~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
~~BANG!!!!!~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha whacked Ranma on his head.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BASTARD????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Huh? You're not cursed?" Ranma asked.
"CURSED YOUR HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha roared and prepared to storm out of the shop.
"WOW!!" Ukyou called in surprised: "You both have identical voice!!" (NOTE: The voices of Ranma and Inuyasha in anime were both done by Yamaguchi Kappei.)
"Huh?" Ranma and Inuyasha said together: "What do you mean?"
"Wow! That's real!!" Shampoo cried excitedly: "You look like twins!!!"
"Oi! I don't have white hair, and golden eyes, PLUS!" Ranma pulled Inuyasha's ears: "CAT-EARS like he DOES!!"
"OI! That's NOT CAT-EARS!!! THAT'S DOG-EAR!!!! I'm INUYASHA not NE-KO (means cat in Japanese, not sure whether it's the right spelling)- YASHA!!!!!"
The group stared at him.
"Inuyasha????" They echoed.
Ranma and the others stared hard.
~~~ Picture in their mind ~~~
A big Inu youkai with the size of a building roared and blew fire at the villages. Many people screamed and ran from it, carrying their belongings on carts. The youkai had red eyes, sharp horns and mouth full of fangs.
~~ Before their eyes ~~~
A teenager, with similar height and features as Ranma, in red kimono and had a pair of furry ears and eyes as gold as sun stood tall before them.
The youkai picture in their mind crashed into pieces.
"Feh!"
"Hey! Aren't you supposed to be in the Warring Period?" Ryouga began.
"..And get killed by Sango Sama for attacking her clan?" Added Shampoo.
"Or killed by Miroku-sama to protect Sango Sama?" continued Ukyou.
".And your bones made into Tetsusaiga by either of them?" ended Ranma.
"Heh?" Inuyasha glared at them, confused.
"AND! Isn't this supposed to be the horns described in the legend?" Added Genma trying to touch Inuyasha's ears, but got a whack on his head instead.
"Oi!" Inuyasha (crossed his arms) began: "When did Sango and Miroku get into the picture in the creation of my Tetsusaiga?"
"Plus!!!! When did I ever have a pair of horns on MY head instead of my EARS???"
"And, where the hell did you hear this stupid rumors about MY Tetsusaiga made FROM my bones?"
"RANMA!!!! HOW DARE YOU BRIBE ME WITH MY OWN TREASURE???!!!!!!" Happousai's voice boomed above Ranma. He kicked the launching old man towards Inuyasha.
"Culprit Number ONE-----Happousai!!"
Inuyasha wracked Happousai out of the restaurant with his fist. He broke out of the roof and flew back onto the ground with a thump.
Ukyou, Cologne, Shampoo, Genma and Ryouga each held up a scoreboard:
9- 8- 7- 8- 10
"What-did-he-say-about-me???!!" Inuyasha snarled, word by word.
Happousai was leaping around the tables, touching the butts of the female customers.
"Ahhh!!!!!!!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shrieks flew all over the restaurant.
"Uh.. he said his ancestor-Miroku-sama..." Ukyou began.
"WHAT-THE?????!!!!!!!!! MIROKU is HIS ANCESTOR??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha yelled on top of his voice.
~~Inside Inuyasha's mind ~~~
Miroku sat besides Sango and touched her butt and got a slap from her.
~~Before Inuyasha's eyes ~~~
Happousai was skipping and touching women's butts in the restaurant.
Inuyasha thoughtfully rubbed his own chin with a hand: 'Huh.. He does have a similar hobby as Miroku by touching women's butts, both of them are really perverts.'
("HAI CHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" Miroku sneezed in Feudal Japan. He rubbed his nose, thinking: 'Someone is scolding me again,')
Ukyou continued, ignoring Inuyasha's reaction: ".. and said Miroku has created Tetsusaiga using you!!!! (Pointing at Inuyasha) Inuyasha's bones and fangs!"
Inuyasha said with his blood veins popping out of his forehead: "Uh-huh! I believe there's some good explanations needed here....."
"And, culprit NUMBER TWO----- o' baa baa Cologne!!" Ranma announced (cutting Inuyasha's words), pointing a finger at Cologne.
"Uh-huh!!! It was written and translated by my great grandmother in a book passed down by Sango-sama, my ancestor." Cologne said, flipping a book with crosses and circles.
Happousai stormed towards Ranma and wracked him on his head, screaming: "NOT FAIR!!!!!!!! You hit ME but NOT Cologne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How-could-you-treat-your-father's-sensei-like- this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ranma rubbed his own forehead with a finger and began: "Because.." He kicked Happousai out of the restaurant: "You are simply tooooooooooooo IRRITATING!!!!!!!!"
"Oi!" Inuyasha called. No one was paying attention to him. More blood veins popped out of his head.
"OIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ranma and Happousai were still making commotion in the restaurant, totally ignored Inuyasha's presence. Fiery aura started to glow from Inuyasha's body.
~~~ WRACK! BONG!~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha sent lumps on their heads.
"Ouchhhhhhhhhhhh......."
"Oi! Let me tell you, Sango and Miroku are my friends, how in the ninth heaven that I will hurt any of them?"
'Really so?' All the people glared, bored with doubt. Their visions fell onto his Tetsusaiga.
A fiercer aura exploded in Inuyasha's body. "AND THAT'S MY SWORD MADE FROM MY FATHER'S FANGS, NOT MY BONES, YOU IDOITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Angrily, Inuyasha stormed out of the shop, muttering to himself: "I'm not going to talk to them. I must get back to Kagome's home as soon as possible. These modern people are totally INSANE!"
Cologne leaped and blocked Inuyasha's path.
"Uh-huh!" She began: "If this sword is yours, how did it get into Sango- sama's hand in the first place?"
"HOW THE HELL WOULD I KNOWWWWWWW??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"He roared on top of his voice and stormed off.
"Wait up! You can't go without giving me a clarification!" Cologne skipped after the running Hanyou. The rest followed.
"Don't you want to know what has happened to you 500 years in the past?" Cologne called from afar.
"Huh?" Inuyasha paused: "Doesn't sound like a bad idea after all.."
~~~~ IN KAGOME'S HOME ~~~~~~~~~~
She was still studying for her exams, but she couldn't concentrate well. In the afternoon, she had made a short trip to the Warring Period, but Inuyasha had not gone back through the well (from Shippou's information since he had been staying by the well one whole day).
"Where has he gone to?" Kagome wondered to herself, biting one end of her pencil.
~~~ IN RANMA'S HOME ~~~
Inuyasha sat (in a dog-style) enjoying watching a television programme after having Kasumi's cooked meals.
"Ranma," Souun whispered: "When will your Inu friend leave?"
Ranma shrugged: "He said one week later."
"Great! We'll have an unusual guest staying in our house for one week!!" exclaimed Nabiki happily, thinking to herself: 'I must get him to collect some ancient coins from his time for me. AH-HA! Then I can earn a lot of money by selling them!!'
"Ranma, he sure looks like you!" Akane said and looked back at Inuyasha.
Kasumi smiled: "I don't know you have such a kawaii friend, Ranma!"
"Oi, Kasumi," Inuyasha called (wriggling his dog-ears) with his eyes still fixed onto the T.V. screen: "Would ja mind passing some fruits to me?"
"Hai! Chotto matte," Kasumi cheerfully replied, getting up from her seat: "I'm going to slice it now."
"I want too" Akane raised her hand, her eyes still looking at the news on T.V.
"Me three" "Me four" Nabiki and Souun said.
A panda with round glasses raised his wooden plank: 'Me five.'
"Hey, Inuyasha!" Ranma called: "Don't you want to find out what has happened to you 500 years ago?"
"Later, later," Inuyasha waved a hand and said with his eyes still fixed on the T.V., it was showing the night news: "I'm more interested about what's going on in this present time."
At the other end of the dinner table, Happousai (with many lumps and bandages all over his body) sniggered: "Just you wait, I'll steal that Tetsusaiga next time! And I'll set my revenge on you, Ranma!!"
"Arggg.." Ranma sighed wearily, feeling exhausted. He did not want to bother with the conflicts anymore.
~~~ THE END OF 'THE TETSUSAIGA RACE' ~~~
Author's words:
Gomen, Inuyasha has been described a bit Ranma-style in this fanfiction to make it a bit funny with the ending in Ranma-style since this fanfic is in Ranma-section. Pardon me for not letting Inuyasha explain that his Tetsusaiga can only reveal its full power through people with half-youkai blood, because from what I observe, Inuyasha does not have the habit to explain things clearly.
Finally, thank you so much for reviewing this fanfic, people!! Your opinions give me great motivation to finish this story. So for a time being.. Jai Nah!

Happousai stormed towards Ranma and wracked him on his head, screaming: "NOT FAIR!!!!!!!! You hit ME but NOT Cologne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How-could-you-treat-your-father's-sensei-like- this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ranma rubbed his own forehead with a finger and began: "Because.." He kicked Happousai out of the restaurant: "You are simply tooooooooooooo IRRITATING!!!!!!!!"
"Oi!" Inuyasha called. No one was paying attention to him. More blood veins popped out of his head.
"OIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ranma and Happousai were still making commotion in the restaurant, totally ignored Inuyasha's presence. Fiery aura started to glow from Inuyasha's body.
~~~ WRACK! BONG!~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha sent lumps on their heads.
"Ouchhhhhhhhhhhh......."
"Oi! Let me tell you, Sango and Miroku are my friends, how in the ninth heaven that I will hurt any of them?"
'Really so?' All the people glared, bored with doubt. Their visions fell onto his Tetsusaiga.
A fiercer aura exploded in Inuyasha's body. "AND THAT'S MY SWORD MADE FROM MY FATHER'S FANGS, NOT MY BONES, YOU IDOITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Angrily, Inuyasha stormed out of the shop, muttering to himself: "I'm not going to talk to them. I must get back to Kagome's home as soon as possible. These modern people are totally INSANE!"
Cologne leaped and blocked Inuyasha's path.
"Uh-huh!" She began: "If this sword is yours, how did it get into Sango- sama's hand in the first place?"
"HOW THE HELL WOULD I KNOWWWWWWW??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"He roared on top of his voice and stormed off.
"Wait up! You can't go without giving me a clarification!" Cologne skipped after the running Hanyou. The rest followed.
"Don't you want to know what has happened to you 500 years in the past?" Cologne called from afar.
"Huh?" Inuyasha paused: "Doesn't sound like a bad idea after all.."
~~~~ IN KAGOME'S HOME ~~~~~~~~~~
She was still studying for her exams, but she couldn't concentrate well. In the afternoon, she had made a short trip to the Warring Period, but Inuyasha had not gone back through the well (from Shippou's information since he had been staying by the well one whole day).
"Where has he gone to?" Kagome wondered to herself, biting one end of her pencil.
~~~ IN RANMA'S HOME ~~~
Inuyasha sat (in a dog-style) enjoying watching a television programme after having Kasumi's cooked meals.
"Ranma," Souun whispered: "When will your Inu friend leave?"
Ranma shrugged: "He said one week later."
"Great! We'll have an unusual guest staying in our house for one week!!" exclaimed Nabiki happily, thinking to herself: 'I must get him to collect some ancient coins from his time for me. AH-HA! Then I can earn a lot of money by selling them!!'
"Ranma, he sure looks like you!" Akane said and looked back at Inuyasha.
Kasumi smiled: "I don't know you have such a kawaii friend, Ranma!"
"Oi, Kasumi," Inuyasha called (wriggling his dog-ears) with his eyes still fixed onto the T.V. screen: "Would ja mind passing some fruits to me?"
"Hai! Chotto matte," Kasumi cheerfully replied, getting up from her seat: "I'm going to slice it now."
"I want too" Akane raised her hand, her eyes still looking at the news on T.V.
"Me three" "Me four" Nabiki and Souun said.
A panda with round glasses raised his wooden plank: 'Me five.'
"Hey, Inuyasha!" Ranma called: "Don't you want to find out what has happened to you 500 years ago?"
"Later, later," Inuyasha waved a hand and said with his eyes still fixed on the T.V., it was showing the night news: "I'm more interested about what's going on in this present time."
At the other end of the dinner table, Happousai (with many lumps and bandages all over his body) sniggered: "Just you wait, I'll steal that Tetsusaiga next time! And I'll set my revenge on you, Ranma!!"
"Arggg.." Ranma sighed wearily, feeling exhausted. He did not want to bother with the conflicts anymore.
~~~ THE END OF 'THE TETSUSAIGA RACE' ~~~
Author's words:
Gomen, Inuyasha has been described a bit Ranma-style in this fanfiction to make it a bit funny with the ending in Ranma-style since this fanfic is in Ranma-section. Pardon me for not letting Inuyasha explain that his Tetsusaiga can only reveal its full power through people with half-youkai blood, because from what I observe, Inuyasha does not have the habit to explain things clearly.
Finally, thank you so much for reviewing this fanfic, people!! Your opinions give me great motivation to finish this story. So for a time being.. Jai Nah!
