Summary:
This fanfic is a sequel from my other fanfic, 'The Tetsusaiga race' (you may look through the list of fanfictions under my profile link on this page by clicking on my nickname).
Determined to know what has happened to Inuyasha 500 years in the past, Ranma brought Inuyasha to his school, hoping to make use of the resources in the library but Inuyasha ended up becoming a student in Fuurinkan High School, feigning as Ranma's long-lost brother. Kagome, Hinako, Gosunkugi, Saotome Nodoka (Ranma's mother), Hojo, Souta and Toufuu are added into this confusion. Humors involved.
SEQUEL TO THE TETSUSAIGA RACE
Chapter Five: Neko And Inu (Cats and Dogs)
A bright cheerful Sunday morning, or would have been a good morning if it did not started with.......
"COME BACK WITH MY CLOTHES, YOU PERVERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HENTAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ranma screeched in her girl-form as she ran after a hopping small figure before her.
"Tee hee hee!!!! Come and get me, Ranma-boy!!!!" Happousai laughed and skipped along to the compound: "I've prepared something even bett-------."
~~~SLAM! ~~~
A scabbard of a sword was conveniently slammed into the face of the old man.
"Oi-------." Happousai groaned as he slipped down and fluttered to and fro onto the grass.
"What's the big commotion, Saotome?" Inuyasha growled in the compound as he returned the scabbard back to his waist and pulled the clothes from Happousai.
"Hey, Inuyasha, did you run about the house in your human form last night?" Ranma questioned: "You almost exposed my identity, idiot!"
"Keh! As if I want to!!" Inuyasha snorted.
Ranma leaped around the annoyed looking Inuyasha in all directions: "Oh? What makes you do that? What makes you do that?"
~~BONK!~~
"DON'T JUMP AROUND ME, SAOTOME RANMA!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha roared, kicking the jumping Ranma further from him.
"Did I hear Ranma's name?" A feminine voice called.
Inuyasha and Ranma froze. Dammit! We forgot someone is still in the house!
Nodoka stepped out hurriedly, scanning around the place for her son.
"INU-YA-SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-------!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Happousai's face burned darkly and boomed up like a giant: "Why-are-you-always- interferring-my-AFFAIRS????????????????????????????"
"Heh, heh!! Time to show you my power to let you know who's the boss here!" Inuyasha sniggered evilly, cracking his claws.
"Did you see Ranma around?" Nodoka asked Inuyasha.
"Huh! Huh! Ranma is-----.." Happousai began. Ranma kicked Happousai up into the sky till he disappeared into a sparkling black dot.
"Shall we get going to shop?" Akane asked as she appeared at the door, fully dressed in causal.
"I'm going to meet a friend." Souun said, dressed in suit and hat, preparing to go out.
"I'm going to visit Toufuu sensei today." Kasumi said. The panda, Genma held up a signboard: I have to go to the clinic to help too!
"Ok! Inuyasha, stay at home with Nabiki and don't create any problems, alright?" Souun told the Inu hanyou.
"With NABIKI?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed in protest.
"What's wrong with me?!" Nabiki shuttered with shock as she placed a hand over her mouth: "I never know you would treat me with such distrust, Inuyasha-kun???? OH! I'm so -----." Tears started to glitter in her eyes.
" Oi, oi!!! I didn't say I hate to stay alone with you!!!" Inuyasha shuttered, waving his hands, he was afraid to see girls cry.
'Hee hee, a bit of tears will always do this trick. He is as innocent as Ranma!' Nabiki smirked secretly.
"We're off now!" The Tendou and Saotome said as they left the house. Just then, Happousai landed back onto the compound after a few minutes of flight in the air (AN: What's going on with the Newton's gravity rule??????).
~~CRASH! ~~~
Happousai fell onto a person's head who had crawled out of a hole (leading from somewhere) on the ground. It was Gosunkugi.
"OUCH!" Both Gosunkugi and Happousai yelled in pain.
"Oi! Don't hit my head, you stupid youngster!!!" Happousai yelled and tossed Gosunkugi into the air, swinging his smoking pipe.
"OUCH!" Gosunkugi's yell faded away.
"Huh! Huh! Huh! With Inuyasha all alone, I can snatch his Tetsusaiga from him easily!" Happousai sniggered evilly and prepared a number of ingredients on the ground to make his 'secret' weapon.
~~~ MEANWHILE--- ~~~~~
Immediately after the entire household left the house, Inuyasha quickly turned on the television to prevent direct contact with Nabiki. It was now showing an anime, 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'.
"Inuyasha-kun!" Nabiki called from her bedroom: "I need your help!"
Inuyasha ignored and tuned up the volume as well as sang along with the theme opening of 'Neon Evangelion' (AN: Can't imagine Inuyasha sings -_-).
"Inuyasha-kun!" Nabiki screamed.
"ZAMU TOU KU NO DAMU SHINO DE NO ZE...(Not too sure of the lyrics)---." Inuyasha sang the chorus part loudly.
"AHHHHH-------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!! SAVE MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nabiki screamed louder.
"------SHIO NAEE NA DE!!!!!" Inuyasha continued to ignore Nabiki's calls and shrieked out the song.
~~~ SNAP! ~~~
Nabiki got out of her room and switched off the television.
"But I'm WATCHING the programme!!!!" protested Inuyasha.
"Watch it LATER, Inuyasha-kun!" Nabiki flamed with a vein popping up on her forehead (AN: It's so rare to see her angry, LOL), thinking: 'Great, he's harder to deal than Ranma!' She had intended to lure Inuyasha to her room and faked a photo to make people believe he had taken advantage of her so that she could force him to get ancient coins every time. But her plan failed.
"Inuyasha-kun!" Nabiki turned to Inuyasha. The window curtain fluttered in the wind. He had run out of the house again! Frustrated, she ran to look for him.
Once she was out of the house, Inuyasha silently crawled out of the dinner table.
"Phew! That was close!" Inuyasha thought to himself.
"INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Happousai's voice cried out and leaped before him.
"Yeah, what do you want?" Inuyasha said, feeling bored and started to switch on the television to watch 'Neon Evangelion' to celebrate his 'success' to lure Nabiki out of the house.
"Tee hee hee!!! Watch out for my secret weapon!" Happousai swung out his smoking pipe, thinking: 'Hee hee! I've added the burning stone in it, by hitting at the right spot; he'll be as weak as a child! After I've got that Tetsusaiga, I will defeat Ranma that bastard!"
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, thinking: 'Feh! That Happousai is definitely up to no good again!' He and Happousai glared hard at each other and walked step by step in a circular motion with their eyes continued glaring (this lasted for several minutes).
"Inuyasha!" Happousai suddenly snarled angrily and fiercely.
Inuyasha cracked his clawed fists: "HEH! I'm ready for any attack!!"
"Let me massage your back, my kawaii Inuyasha-kun! You must be feeling sore on your back after last night's sleep!!" Happousai immediately squeaked in a sweet way friendlily and hopped gleefully to Inuyasha's back.
A big sweat dropped down behind Inuyasha's head.
"HA! HA! Now's the time!" Happousai lifted his smoking pipe, preparing to strike Inuyasha's accupoint where the strength point laid.
Just then, Gosunkugi broke through the ceiling and fell between Happousai and Inuyasha. The burnt part hit Gosunkugi's back.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEYAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Gosunkugi screamed in pain, hopping about the house and leaped into the compound pond to ease the burning sensation on his back.
"Aiyah! I've hit the wrong person!" Happousai screamed: "Never mind, I can hit----.."
"Not a chance, you filthy old man!!!!" Inuyasha snarled and hit Happousai out of the hole on the ceiling and leaped to the pond to look for Gosunkugi.
"Oi, Gosunkugi! Are you alright?" Inuyasha recognized him as one of his classmates in school.
Gosunkugi rubbed his back and sniggered evilly: "It's the time to show Saotome Ranma my true power!" He suddenly flashed and flew something at Inuyasha. He grabbed it before it hit his face.
It was a piece of paper.
"This is a letter for the time and venue of an important event, Saotome! You have to turn up!" Without waiting for Inuyasha's reply, he happily ran off and disappeared among the bush.
"Oi!" Inuyasha called after the fading figure and stared at the letter, scratching his dog ear, assuming the letter was for he himself since he had regarded himself the surname of Saotome in class.
The letter wrote: YYY Location at XXX (today) date at ZZZ Hour/Minute (which was to be five minutes after the present time).
"Alright, I'll go to that place and see what's before me," Inuyasha decided since 'Neon Evangelion' had ended during his and Happousai's 'confrontation' and there was nothing much to do at home.
~~~MEANWHILE IN STREET~~~~~~
Once out into the street, Nodoka pulled Ranma and Akane towards the rows of shops where the latest female fashion were sold.
For several minutes, Nodoka made Ranma tried many dress and skirts. For many times, she shook her head as Ranma appeared before her in different feminine clothes. They could not bring out the characteristics and charm in the red-haired girl.
"Ah! I know a good shop where I've seen a nice little dress, Ranko!" Nodoka suddenly remembered and pulled her into a shop. Akane tagged closely behind.
"Oh..... If I accidentally turned into a man while changing, I'll be in for it. Should have bring Inuyasha along to shield me," Ranma thought regrettably.
"Huh?" Akane stared at a distance and pointed: "Isn't that Inuyasha? I thought he's supposed to stay at home with Nabiki nee-chan." True enough; Inuyasha was leaping from one roof to another in his hanyou-form, seemingly to go to somewhere else.
"Where is he going to at this moment of time?" Ranma quickly said and ran off, taking the opportunity to get away from Nodoka and the embarrassing feminine clothes hunting. A hand pulled him (her) back by his (her) collar.
"No, no, Ranko," Nodoka laughed: "I have not found a suitable clothes for you!"
"Ah ha ha!" Ranma laughed embarrassedly, scratching her head: "Can we do it later? I'm worried for Inuyasha."
"Ranko!" Nodoka exclaimed, looking at her closer: "Have you----."
"Fallen for Inuyasha?" Ranma and Akane sweated-dropped.
"No, no, no!!" Ranma screamed and at the same time, running off towards Inuyasha's direction.
"Chotto! Wait for me, Ranma-------!!!!!" Akane screamed after the running Ranma.
"Ranma?" Nodoka echoed.
"Ahh---- RAN--RA--RANKO!!!!!" Akane corrected herself and ran after Ranma, followed by Nodoka closely behind.
~~~ **************** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a dark, dark room with a pair of shining eyes floating in the air. Someone was in the eerie basement.
"Huh, huh, huh!!! Watch out, Saotome Ranma," The person sniggered: "I'll make your reputation falls to the bottom and no one can stop me from going for Akane----.."
"Oi!!!" A boy's voice roared from outside: "Gosunkugi!!! Where are you????!!!!!"
According to the paper, Inuyasha was to go to a deserted shrine to meet Gosunkugi for some 'important' event.
The sky was cloudy and the cold wind whirled around him. It was close to winter season and naturally; the weather was icy. The shrine towered before him with ribbons of seals across the main gate. What was Gosunkugi up to?
"Grr.," Inuyasha growled to himself as he went up the staircase to enter the shrine.
Afar, Ranma and Akane were watching him in a bush as they held up sticks with leaves attached so that Inuyasha would not see them. Nodoka could not keep up with their pace and was nowhere to be seen.
"Who is Inuyasha meeting? Kagome-chan?" Akane asked from her bush, holding a pair of leaved sticks on each hand.
"I dunno either. He's rather secretive to himself." Ranma replied as he watched on. As Inuyasha disappeared into the shrine, he jumped up.
"C'mon! Let's follow him!" Ranma whispered behind the following Akane.
Inuyasha entered the empty hall.
There was a string hanging from the ceiling with a sign: 'Pull me' attached to it.
Inuyasha pulled. The floor below him opened. He leaped before he could fall into it.
It was dark inside. Inuyasha kneeled on one knee and sniffed. He smelt something inside.
"Alright, Gosunkugi, I know you're in there," Inuyasha said, feeling bored. Waiting no reply, he jumped into the hole.
"Look! Inuyasha has jumped into it!" Akane exclaimed from the main door.
"Huh? What a strange place to meet a girl!" Ranma whispered to her: "Let's take a look, Akane!"
"Are you sure you want to interrupt them?" Akane said, feeling bored: "Let them have some privacy!"
"Uh huh! Inuyasha's too straight minded like Ryouga, I can at least guide him one way or another!"
"Why don't you just admit yourself nosy and don't DRAG Ryouga's name into your sentence!" Akane snapped.
Nevertheless, they followed Inuyasha into the opened floor.
They found themselves totally in the dark.
"Alright, Saotome!" Gosunkugi's voice rang: "You've fallen into my trap, hee hee hee!!!"
"Hm?" Inuyasha said, sniffing around: "There's nothing dangerous inside."
"Look around you!" Gosunkugi shouted and lit up a candle in his hand. There were cats around the basement.
"Cats?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and picked up one by its front paws: "What's wrong with it?"
Gosunkugi was taken aback: "WHAT???? I thought you were frightened of cats??!!!"
"Oi, I'm Inuyasha, have you ever heard of dogs afraid of cats?"
"Oh no!" Gosunkugi placed his hands on his own cheeks: "I've given the note to the wrong person!!"
"CA-CA---CATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!" A feminine voice shrieked fearfully: "AKANE!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"STAND STILL!!!!" Akane's voice cried out as she tried to pull a cat from Ranma's head.
"Ah ha ha!! So, Ranma's in the basement after all!!" Gosunkugi cried out in joy: "Now, I'll be invincible!!!" He pulled out a hammer from nowhere and hit Ranma on his (her) head from behind.
"GET OUT OF HERE!!" Inuyasha growled and kicked Gosunkugi out of the basement: "I'll get back at you in school tomorrow!!!" Turning to Ranma: "Oi! Saotome! Don't shriek like a girl, will ya???!!!"
Two rows of tears started to well in Ranma's eyes and flowed down his cheek.
"Let's get him out of here before----," Akane began.
"Me-----meowwwwwwwww----------," Ranma suddenly purred.
"What are you saying?" Inuyasha stared at the grinning Ranma in shock.
"OH NO! It's HAPPENING AGAIN!!!!!" Akane screamed. Ranma swung all cats out of the hole in the form of a typhoon and sprang out of it.
"RANMA! COME BACK HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed and leaped after him.
Unfortunately, Ranma was too fast and disappeared out of sight.
"Hey, kitty, kitty, kitty!!!" Akane called, looking around the place. She caught sight of Ranma scratching behind his (her) ear with his (her) leg on a tree.
"Ranma, come down now!!" Akane called, but Ranma only snarled with his (her) stretching back in reply.
"I really hate to do this, but it seems that there's no much choice," Inuyasha sighed in defeat.
Inuyasha struck a battle pose and placed his hands on the floor, standing on fours.
"GRRRR... BARK! BARK! WOOF! WOOF!!!" Inuyasha suddenly barked. Akane jumped aside in fright with two fingers sticking upwards in each hand.
Inuyasha dashed up the tree, running after Ranma.
Ranma snarled and sprang away from Inuyasha. They both raced from the tree to the ground with Ranma at the front and Inuyasha chasing behind.
"MMMEEE---MEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!!!"
"Ranko! Akane! Where are you???!!!" Nodoka called as she ran across the street. There were many people staring at something.
"Look, what are these two youngsters doing here on this cold morning?" Some of them whispered among themselves.
Out of curiosity, Nodoka went forward to watch. To her astonishment, a red- haired girl was running across the road on fours, snarling like a frightened cat along the way with a long, white haired boy barking behind her fiercely.
"Ranko! Inuyasha! What are you two doing???!!!!!" Nodoka screamed at them and ran after them.
"Nodoka aunt!!" Akane called her from behind and together, they chased after Ranma and Inuyasha.
"What are they doing on the street?" Nodoka asked Akane as they ran after the two figures.
"Ah---ahhh----,"Akane hesitated, fearing Nodoka would learn Ranma's identity if she told her Ranma would 'turn' into a cat whenever he encountered one to escape from his fear: "I-I'm not too sure either."
Ranma and Inuyasha ran back to Tendou Martial Arts School. Ranma slashed the table with his (her) claws and lunged the pieces at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha ducked and pounded at the agitated human cat.
Ranma struck out her claws and started attacking Inuyasha who defended himself using his clawed fists. Splinters of woods and cotton wool flew all about the place like snowstorm.
"OH NO!! THEY'RE TEARING DOWN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!" Akane shrieked as she and Nodoka entered the living room.
Ranma snarled and hopped up onto the hanging lamp on the ceiling. Inuyasha growled under it. He turned to Akane: "Oi! Do something to this crazy cat!!!!!!!!!"
"Until after you both have messed up this place?" Akane thought angrily. Turning to Ranma, she cooed: "Come, kitty, kitty!!"
Ranma pounded at Akane and curled up on her lap in a cat-like form, purring contentedly.
"So that's the way to calm this crazy cat," Inuyasha fumed: "Why didn't you do it earlier??!!"
"How would I know you'll react so fast before I can do anything?!" Akane retorted back.
Ranma bared his (her) teeth at Inuyasha until Akane calmed him (her) down when she stroked his (her) back.
In the end, Nodoka, Inuyasha and Akane tried to regain the house as much as possible, but in vain. Nevertheless, Nodoka returned back to her house that afternoon.
~~~ THAT EVENING ~~~~
"ARGGGGGGGGGGGG~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!" Souun screamed like a devil sticking his tongue at Ranma and Inuyasha: "WHAT HAVE YOU BOTH DONE TO THE HOUSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE??????????????!!!!!!!!!!"
"We---we---can explain---------." Ranma (in his boy-form) stammered.
"WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY??????!!!!!!!!" Souun's dark face stormed before the two boys. Inuyasha and Ranma sweated.
"Oh dear, even our bathroom is spoiled, we'll have to use the public bathhouse for the next few days again," Kasumi shook her head.
"Hi, everyone!" A cheerful voice called at the door. It was Kagome. Kasumi invited her into the house. Kagome expressed a surprise look as she looked around the messy house.
"Nah, Inuyasha, were you battling with a youkai a few hours ago?" Kagome asked the Inu hanyou.
"Yeah, it's a human Neko youkai!" Inuyasha growled, pointing at Ranma.
"I'M NOT A YOUKAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ranma smacked Inuyasha on his head.
"HI, RANMA!!!!" Shampoo called as she walked into the house with several bowls of ramen that Kasumi had ordered because the kitchen was not functionable. Inuyasha quickly splashed cold water on her, turning her into a cat and pulled her before Ranma.
"ARGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET HER AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ranma screamed in fear, running away.
"OSUWARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome screeched at Inuyasha.
~~~~BONKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~
Both Ranma and Inuyasha slammed flat onto the ground. Shampoo leaped aside before she was crushed by either of them.
"Sigh! Gomen ne, he (pointing at Inuyasha) must have created a lot of problems for you," Kagome apologized on behalf of Inuyasha.
"No, it's alright, our house's already in a mess even before Inuyasha came here," Akane replied, giving Ranma a fiery glance.
"INUYASHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" An angry voice boomed. It was Happousai in bandages from head to toes: "HOW DARE YOU KICK ME OUT OF THE HOUSE THIS MORNING??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Huh? Why do you take such a long time to come back?" Ranma asked: "Did the kick send you to Africa?"
"OH YEAH!" Happousai hit his hand with his fist, remembering something: "I've got a pretty prize today!" Sniggering with bad intention, he flew at Ranma, pulling out a bra: "AND YOU'VE GOTTO WEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"NOT SO FAST, OLD MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ranma growled and fought with him.
Remembering his threat to his sword that morning, Inuyasha joined in the fight against Happousai. Shampoo went to the kitchen for hot water and found everything in a mess. Angrily, she returned to Neko restaurant to regain back to her normal self.
Meanwhile, the rest of the household ignored the three fighting people and the disappearing Shampoo and continued their conversation with Kagome. By the time they remembered the three people, they had disappeared from the house, probably fighting on the roof top.
Genma shook his head: "I have a very BAD feeling about this."
"Let's look for them now!" Kagome suggested and together with the rest of the households, they ran out of the house, calling: "INUYASHA!! RANMA!!! WHERE ARE YOU?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!"
~~ MEANWHILE ON THE ROOF TOP OF TENDOU MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL ~~
"Huh, huh, huh! You're OUTNUMBERED, old man!!!" Ranma sniggered evilly before Happousai.
"KEH! We'll let you off if you agree not to harass us unnecessary again!" Inuyasha added: "Or else!" He revealed and clenched his clawed fists.
"Oh, Ranma-boy, why don't you like my present???" Happousai stared with welling tears: "And Inuyasha-boy, how can you combine force with Ranma against an old weak man like me???"
"Yeah, right, if you're really so weak, everyone in the world is weak!!" Ranma retorted angrily.
Both Ranma and Inuyasha leaped at Happousai.
"Happou dai-ka-rin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kagome, Akane, and the rest of the households were just in time to run out door and to hear a series of explosions, followed by the entire Tendou Martial Arts School collapsing under Happousai's technique.
They all stared in shock.
As the dust cleared, Inuyasha and Ranma were found buried among the ruins of the house. But their troubles were not over.
A few minutes later, Inuyasha and Ranma received many lumps on their heads and backaches from Souun, Akane and Kagome. Apart from that, they had to fix the house structure within the entire night as well as making temporary tents for Happousai, Souun and Genma (so that they could inspect the process of the work) to stay for the night until the two boys finished putting the entire house back in place. Kasumi, Nabiki and Akane went to Kagome's shrine to stay for the night.
Happousai was allowed to escape scot-free (as usual because he was Souun and Genma's sensei and they were afraid of agitating him).
"OUCH! Your hammer hits me---- AGAIN!!!" Ranma roared at Inuyasha who was not used to doing such job.
"KEH! Why don't you admit yourself for avoiding my blow too slow, Han- onna???!!!!"
"STUPID HANYOU!!!" Ranma snapped.
"HAN-ONNA!!!!"
"HANYOU!!!"
Happousai relaxed in a made-shift tent and watched the two boys bickering between themselves and sniggered to himself: "Trying to fight over me? Train yourselves for a few more years, tee hee hee!!!"
He suddenly felt two pairs of eyes glancing at him coldly and shut his mouth up.
"Pssss, Saotome, wait till we've better opportunity, we'll send this old man far far away from this house-----," Inuyasha whispered.
"Uh-huh! Same sentiment here, Hanyou!" Ranma whispered back.
"DON'T CALL ME HANYOU, HAN-ONNA!!!!" Inuyasha yelled and smacked Ranma's head.
"DON'T CALL ME HAN-ONNA, HANYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ranma smacked back.
Their bickering continued until Souun and Genma took turns to smack them three to four times throughout the night.
TO BE CONTINUED...........

SEQUEL TO THE TETSUSAIGA RACE
Chapter Five: Neko And Inu (Cats and Dogs)
A bright cheerful Sunday morning, or would have been a good morning if it did not started with.......
"COME BACK WITH MY CLOTHES, YOU PERVERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HENTAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ranma screeched in her girl-form as she ran after a hopping small figure before her.
"Tee hee hee!!!! Come and get me, Ranma-boy!!!!" Happousai laughed and skipped along to the compound: "I've prepared something even bett-------."
~~~SLAM! ~~~
A scabbard of a sword was conveniently slammed into the face of the old man.
"Oi-------." Happousai groaned as he slipped down and fluttered to and fro onto the grass.
"What's the big commotion, Saotome?" Inuyasha growled in the compound as he returned the scabbard back to his waist and pulled the clothes from Happousai.
"Hey, Inuyasha, did you run about the house in your human form last night?" Ranma questioned: "You almost exposed my identity, idiot!"
"Keh! As if I want to!!" Inuyasha snorted.
Ranma leaped around the annoyed looking Inuyasha in all directions: "Oh? What makes you do that? What makes you do that?"
~~BONK!~~
"DON'T JUMP AROUND ME, SAOTOME RANMA!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha roared, kicking the jumping Ranma further from him.
"Did I hear Ranma's name?" A feminine voice called.
Inuyasha and Ranma froze. Dammit! We forgot someone is still in the house!
Nodoka stepped out hurriedly, scanning around the place for her son.
"INU-YA-SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-------!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Happousai's face burned darkly and boomed up like a giant: "Why-are-you-always- interferring-my-AFFAIRS????????????????????????????"
"Heh, heh!! Time to show you my power to let you know who's the boss here!" Inuyasha sniggered evilly, cracking his claws.
"Did you see Ranma around?" Nodoka asked Inuyasha.
"Huh! Huh! Ranma is-----.." Happousai began. Ranma kicked Happousai up into the sky till he disappeared into a sparkling black dot.
"Shall we get going to shop?" Akane asked as she appeared at the door, fully dressed in causal.
"I'm going to meet a friend." Souun said, dressed in suit and hat, preparing to go out.
"I'm going to visit Toufuu sensei today." Kasumi said. The panda, Genma held up a signboard: I have to go to the clinic to help too!
"Ok! Inuyasha, stay at home with Nabiki and don't create any problems, alright?" Souun told the Inu hanyou.
"With NABIKI?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed in protest.
"What's wrong with me?!" Nabiki shuttered with shock as she placed a hand over her mouth: "I never know you would treat me with such distrust, Inuyasha-kun???? OH! I'm so -----." Tears started to glitter in her eyes.
" Oi, oi!!! I didn't say I hate to stay alone with you!!!" Inuyasha shuttered, waving his hands, he was afraid to see girls cry.
'Hee hee, a bit of tears will always do this trick. He is as innocent as Ranma!' Nabiki smirked secretly.
"We're off now!" The Tendou and Saotome said as they left the house. Just then, Happousai landed back onto the compound after a few minutes of flight in the air (AN: What's going on with the Newton's gravity rule??????).
~~CRASH! ~~~
Happousai fell onto a person's head who had crawled out of a hole (leading from somewhere) on the ground. It was Gosunkugi.
"OUCH!" Both Gosunkugi and Happousai yelled in pain.
"Oi! Don't hit my head, you stupid youngster!!!" Happousai yelled and tossed Gosunkugi into the air, swinging his smoking pipe.
"OUCH!" Gosunkugi's yell faded away.
"Huh! Huh! Huh! With Inuyasha all alone, I can snatch his Tetsusaiga from him easily!" Happousai sniggered evilly and prepared a number of ingredients on the ground to make his 'secret' weapon.
~~~ MEANWHILE--- ~~~~~
Immediately after the entire household left the house, Inuyasha quickly turned on the television to prevent direct contact with Nabiki. It was now showing an anime, 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'.
"Inuyasha-kun!" Nabiki called from her bedroom: "I need your help!"
Inuyasha ignored and tuned up the volume as well as sang along with the theme opening of 'Neon Evangelion' (AN: Can't imagine Inuyasha sings -_-).
"Inuyasha-kun!" Nabiki screamed.
"ZAMU TOU KU NO DAMU SHINO DE NO ZE...(Not too sure of the lyrics)---." Inuyasha sang the chorus part loudly.
"AHHHHH-------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!! SAVE MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nabiki screamed louder.
"------SHIO NAEE NA DE!!!!!" Inuyasha continued to ignore Nabiki's calls and shrieked out the song.
~~~ SNAP! ~~~
Nabiki got out of her room and switched off the television.
"But I'm WATCHING the programme!!!!" protested Inuyasha.
"Watch it LATER, Inuyasha-kun!" Nabiki flamed with a vein popping up on her forehead (AN: It's so rare to see her angry, LOL), thinking: 'Great, he's harder to deal than Ranma!' She had intended to lure Inuyasha to her room and faked a photo to make people believe he had taken advantage of her so that she could force him to get ancient coins every time. But her plan failed.
"Inuyasha-kun!" Nabiki turned to Inuyasha. The window curtain fluttered in the wind. He had run out of the house again! Frustrated, she ran to look for him.
Once she was out of the house, Inuyasha silently crawled out of the dinner table.
"Phew! That was close!" Inuyasha thought to himself.
"INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Happousai's voice cried out and leaped before him.
"Yeah, what do you want?" Inuyasha said, feeling bored and started to switch on the television to watch 'Neon Evangelion' to celebrate his 'success' to lure Nabiki out of the house.
"Tee hee hee!!! Watch out for my secret weapon!" Happousai swung out his smoking pipe, thinking: 'Hee hee! I've added the burning stone in it, by hitting at the right spot; he'll be as weak as a child! After I've got that Tetsusaiga, I will defeat Ranma that bastard!"
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, thinking: 'Feh! That Happousai is definitely up to no good again!' He and Happousai glared hard at each other and walked step by step in a circular motion with their eyes continued glaring (this lasted for several minutes).
"Inuyasha!" Happousai suddenly snarled angrily and fiercely.
Inuyasha cracked his clawed fists: "HEH! I'm ready for any attack!!"
"Let me massage your back, my kawaii Inuyasha-kun! You must be feeling sore on your back after last night's sleep!!" Happousai immediately squeaked in a sweet way friendlily and hopped gleefully to Inuyasha's back.
A big sweat dropped down behind Inuyasha's head.
"HA! HA! Now's the time!" Happousai lifted his smoking pipe, preparing to strike Inuyasha's accupoint where the strength point laid.
Just then, Gosunkugi broke through the ceiling and fell between Happousai and Inuyasha. The burnt part hit Gosunkugi's back.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEYAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Gosunkugi screamed in pain, hopping about the house and leaped into the compound pond to ease the burning sensation on his back.
"Aiyah! I've hit the wrong person!" Happousai screamed: "Never mind, I can hit----.."
"Not a chance, you filthy old man!!!!" Inuyasha snarled and hit Happousai out of the hole on the ceiling and leaped to the pond to look for Gosunkugi.
"Oi, Gosunkugi! Are you alright?" Inuyasha recognized him as one of his classmates in school.
Gosunkugi rubbed his back and sniggered evilly: "It's the time to show Saotome Ranma my true power!" He suddenly flashed and flew something at Inuyasha. He grabbed it before it hit his face.
It was a piece of paper.
"This is a letter for the time and venue of an important event, Saotome! You have to turn up!" Without waiting for Inuyasha's reply, he happily ran off and disappeared among the bush.
"Oi!" Inuyasha called after the fading figure and stared at the letter, scratching his dog ear, assuming the letter was for he himself since he had regarded himself the surname of Saotome in class.
The letter wrote: YYY Location at XXX (today) date at ZZZ Hour/Minute (which was to be five minutes after the present time).
"Alright, I'll go to that place and see what's before me," Inuyasha decided since 'Neon Evangelion' had ended during his and Happousai's 'confrontation' and there was nothing much to do at home.
~~~MEANWHILE IN STREET~~~~~~
Once out into the street, Nodoka pulled Ranma and Akane towards the rows of shops where the latest female fashion were sold.
For several minutes, Nodoka made Ranma tried many dress and skirts. For many times, she shook her head as Ranma appeared before her in different feminine clothes. They could not bring out the characteristics and charm in the red-haired girl.
"Ah! I know a good shop where I've seen a nice little dress, Ranko!" Nodoka suddenly remembered and pulled her into a shop. Akane tagged closely behind.
"Oh..... If I accidentally turned into a man while changing, I'll be in for it. Should have bring Inuyasha along to shield me," Ranma thought regrettably.
"Huh?" Akane stared at a distance and pointed: "Isn't that Inuyasha? I thought he's supposed to stay at home with Nabiki nee-chan." True enough; Inuyasha was leaping from one roof to another in his hanyou-form, seemingly to go to somewhere else.
"Where is he going to at this moment of time?" Ranma quickly said and ran off, taking the opportunity to get away from Nodoka and the embarrassing feminine clothes hunting. A hand pulled him (her) back by his (her) collar.
"No, no, Ranko," Nodoka laughed: "I have not found a suitable clothes for you!"
"Ah ha ha!" Ranma laughed embarrassedly, scratching her head: "Can we do it later? I'm worried for Inuyasha."
"Ranko!" Nodoka exclaimed, looking at her closer: "Have you----."
"Fallen for Inuyasha?" Ranma and Akane sweated-dropped.
"No, no, no!!" Ranma screamed and at the same time, running off towards Inuyasha's direction.
"Chotto! Wait for me, Ranma-------!!!!!" Akane screamed after the running Ranma.
"Ranma?" Nodoka echoed.
"Ahh---- RAN--RA--RANKO!!!!!" Akane corrected herself and ran after Ranma, followed by Nodoka closely behind.
~~~ **************** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a dark, dark room with a pair of shining eyes floating in the air. Someone was in the eerie basement.
"Huh, huh, huh!!! Watch out, Saotome Ranma," The person sniggered: "I'll make your reputation falls to the bottom and no one can stop me from going for Akane----.."
"Oi!!!" A boy's voice roared from outside: "Gosunkugi!!! Where are you????!!!!!"
According to the paper, Inuyasha was to go to a deserted shrine to meet Gosunkugi for some 'important' event.
The sky was cloudy and the cold wind whirled around him. It was close to winter season and naturally; the weather was icy. The shrine towered before him with ribbons of seals across the main gate. What was Gosunkugi up to?
"Grr.," Inuyasha growled to himself as he went up the staircase to enter the shrine.
Afar, Ranma and Akane were watching him in a bush as they held up sticks with leaves attached so that Inuyasha would not see them. Nodoka could not keep up with their pace and was nowhere to be seen.
"Who is Inuyasha meeting? Kagome-chan?" Akane asked from her bush, holding a pair of leaved sticks on each hand.
"I dunno either. He's rather secretive to himself." Ranma replied as he watched on. As Inuyasha disappeared into the shrine, he jumped up.
"C'mon! Let's follow him!" Ranma whispered behind the following Akane.
Inuyasha entered the empty hall.
There was a string hanging from the ceiling with a sign: 'Pull me' attached to it.
Inuyasha pulled. The floor below him opened. He leaped before he could fall into it.
It was dark inside. Inuyasha kneeled on one knee and sniffed. He smelt something inside.
"Alright, Gosunkugi, I know you're in there," Inuyasha said, feeling bored. Waiting no reply, he jumped into the hole.
"Look! Inuyasha has jumped into it!" Akane exclaimed from the main door.
"Huh? What a strange place to meet a girl!" Ranma whispered to her: "Let's take a look, Akane!"
"Are you sure you want to interrupt them?" Akane said, feeling bored: "Let them have some privacy!"
"Uh huh! Inuyasha's too straight minded like Ryouga, I can at least guide him one way or another!"
"Why don't you just admit yourself nosy and don't DRAG Ryouga's name into your sentence!" Akane snapped.
Nevertheless, they followed Inuyasha into the opened floor.
They found themselves totally in the dark.
"Alright, Saotome!" Gosunkugi's voice rang: "You've fallen into my trap, hee hee hee!!!"
"Hm?" Inuyasha said, sniffing around: "There's nothing dangerous inside."
"Look around you!" Gosunkugi shouted and lit up a candle in his hand. There were cats around the basement.
"Cats?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and picked up one by its front paws: "What's wrong with it?"
Gosunkugi was taken aback: "WHAT???? I thought you were frightened of cats??!!!"
"Oi, I'm Inuyasha, have you ever heard of dogs afraid of cats?"
"Oh no!" Gosunkugi placed his hands on his own cheeks: "I've given the note to the wrong person!!"
"CA-CA---CATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!" A feminine voice shrieked fearfully: "AKANE!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"STAND STILL!!!!" Akane's voice cried out as she tried to pull a cat from Ranma's head.
"Ah ha ha!! So, Ranma's in the basement after all!!" Gosunkugi cried out in joy: "Now, I'll be invincible!!!" He pulled out a hammer from nowhere and hit Ranma on his (her) head from behind.
"GET OUT OF HERE!!" Inuyasha growled and kicked Gosunkugi out of the basement: "I'll get back at you in school tomorrow!!!" Turning to Ranma: "Oi! Saotome! Don't shriek like a girl, will ya???!!!"
Two rows of tears started to well in Ranma's eyes and flowed down his cheek.
"Let's get him out of here before----," Akane began.
"Me-----meowwwwwwwww----------," Ranma suddenly purred.
"What are you saying?" Inuyasha stared at the grinning Ranma in shock.
"OH NO! It's HAPPENING AGAIN!!!!!" Akane screamed. Ranma swung all cats out of the hole in the form of a typhoon and sprang out of it.
"RANMA! COME BACK HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed and leaped after him.
Unfortunately, Ranma was too fast and disappeared out of sight.
"Hey, kitty, kitty, kitty!!!" Akane called, looking around the place. She caught sight of Ranma scratching behind his (her) ear with his (her) leg on a tree.
"Ranma, come down now!!" Akane called, but Ranma only snarled with his (her) stretching back in reply.
"I really hate to do this, but it seems that there's no much choice," Inuyasha sighed in defeat.
Inuyasha struck a battle pose and placed his hands on the floor, standing on fours.
"GRRRR... BARK! BARK! WOOF! WOOF!!!" Inuyasha suddenly barked. Akane jumped aside in fright with two fingers sticking upwards in each hand.
Inuyasha dashed up the tree, running after Ranma.
Ranma snarled and sprang away from Inuyasha. They both raced from the tree to the ground with Ranma at the front and Inuyasha chasing behind.
"MMMEEE---MEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!!!"
"Ranko! Akane! Where are you???!!!" Nodoka called as she ran across the street. There were many people staring at something.
"Look, what are these two youngsters doing here on this cold morning?" Some of them whispered among themselves.
Out of curiosity, Nodoka went forward to watch. To her astonishment, a red- haired girl was running across the road on fours, snarling like a frightened cat along the way with a long, white haired boy barking behind her fiercely.
"Ranko! Inuyasha! What are you two doing???!!!!!" Nodoka screamed at them and ran after them.
"Nodoka aunt!!" Akane called her from behind and together, they chased after Ranma and Inuyasha.
"What are they doing on the street?" Nodoka asked Akane as they ran after the two figures.
"Ah---ahhh----,"Akane hesitated, fearing Nodoka would learn Ranma's identity if she told her Ranma would 'turn' into a cat whenever he encountered one to escape from his fear: "I-I'm not too sure either."
Ranma and Inuyasha ran back to Tendou Martial Arts School. Ranma slashed the table with his (her) claws and lunged the pieces at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha ducked and pounded at the agitated human cat.
Ranma struck out her claws and started attacking Inuyasha who defended himself using his clawed fists. Splinters of woods and cotton wool flew all about the place like snowstorm.
"OH NO!! THEY'RE TEARING DOWN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!" Akane shrieked as she and Nodoka entered the living room.
Ranma snarled and hopped up onto the hanging lamp on the ceiling. Inuyasha growled under it. He turned to Akane: "Oi! Do something to this crazy cat!!!!!!!!!"
"Until after you both have messed up this place?" Akane thought angrily. Turning to Ranma, she cooed: "Come, kitty, kitty!!"
Ranma pounded at Akane and curled up on her lap in a cat-like form, purring contentedly.
"So that's the way to calm this crazy cat," Inuyasha fumed: "Why didn't you do it earlier??!!"
"How would I know you'll react so fast before I can do anything?!" Akane retorted back.
Ranma bared his (her) teeth at Inuyasha until Akane calmed him (her) down when she stroked his (her) back.
In the end, Nodoka, Inuyasha and Akane tried to regain the house as much as possible, but in vain. Nevertheless, Nodoka returned back to her house that afternoon.
~~~ THAT EVENING ~~~~
"ARGGGGGGGGGGGG~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!" Souun screamed like a devil sticking his tongue at Ranma and Inuyasha: "WHAT HAVE YOU BOTH DONE TO THE HOUSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE??????????????!!!!!!!!!!"
"We---we---can explain---------." Ranma (in his boy-form) stammered.
"WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY??????!!!!!!!!" Souun's dark face stormed before the two boys. Inuyasha and Ranma sweated.
"Oh dear, even our bathroom is spoiled, we'll have to use the public bathhouse for the next few days again," Kasumi shook her head.
"Hi, everyone!" A cheerful voice called at the door. It was Kagome. Kasumi invited her into the house. Kagome expressed a surprise look as she looked around the messy house.
"Nah, Inuyasha, were you battling with a youkai a few hours ago?" Kagome asked the Inu hanyou.
"Yeah, it's a human Neko youkai!" Inuyasha growled, pointing at Ranma.
"I'M NOT A YOUKAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ranma smacked Inuyasha on his head.
"HI, RANMA!!!!" Shampoo called as she walked into the house with several bowls of ramen that Kasumi had ordered because the kitchen was not functionable. Inuyasha quickly splashed cold water on her, turning her into a cat and pulled her before Ranma.
"ARGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET HER AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ranma screamed in fear, running away.
"OSUWARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome screeched at Inuyasha.
~~~~BONKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~
Both Ranma and Inuyasha slammed flat onto the ground. Shampoo leaped aside before she was crushed by either of them.
"Sigh! Gomen ne, he (pointing at Inuyasha) must have created a lot of problems for you," Kagome apologized on behalf of Inuyasha.
"No, it's alright, our house's already in a mess even before Inuyasha came here," Akane replied, giving Ranma a fiery glance.
"INUYASHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" An angry voice boomed. It was Happousai in bandages from head to toes: "HOW DARE YOU KICK ME OUT OF THE HOUSE THIS MORNING??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Huh? Why do you take such a long time to come back?" Ranma asked: "Did the kick send you to Africa?"
"OH YEAH!" Happousai hit his hand with his fist, remembering something: "I've got a pretty prize today!" Sniggering with bad intention, he flew at Ranma, pulling out a bra: "AND YOU'VE GOTTO WEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"NOT SO FAST, OLD MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ranma growled and fought with him.
Remembering his threat to his sword that morning, Inuyasha joined in the fight against Happousai. Shampoo went to the kitchen for hot water and found everything in a mess. Angrily, she returned to Neko restaurant to regain back to her normal self.
Meanwhile, the rest of the household ignored the three fighting people and the disappearing Shampoo and continued their conversation with Kagome. By the time they remembered the three people, they had disappeared from the house, probably fighting on the roof top.
Genma shook his head: "I have a very BAD feeling about this."
"Let's look for them now!" Kagome suggested and together with the rest of the households, they ran out of the house, calling: "INUYASHA!! RANMA!!! WHERE ARE YOU?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!"
~~ MEANWHILE ON THE ROOF TOP OF TENDOU MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL ~~
"Huh, huh, huh! You're OUTNUMBERED, old man!!!" Ranma sniggered evilly before Happousai.
"KEH! We'll let you off if you agree not to harass us unnecessary again!" Inuyasha added: "Or else!" He revealed and clenched his clawed fists.
"Oh, Ranma-boy, why don't you like my present???" Happousai stared with welling tears: "And Inuyasha-boy, how can you combine force with Ranma against an old weak man like me???"
"Yeah, right, if you're really so weak, everyone in the world is weak!!" Ranma retorted angrily.
Both Ranma and Inuyasha leaped at Happousai.
"Happou dai-ka-rin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kagome, Akane, and the rest of the households were just in time to run out door and to hear a series of explosions, followed by the entire Tendou Martial Arts School collapsing under Happousai's technique.
They all stared in shock.
As the dust cleared, Inuyasha and Ranma were found buried among the ruins of the house. But their troubles were not over.
A few minutes later, Inuyasha and Ranma received many lumps on their heads and backaches from Souun, Akane and Kagome. Apart from that, they had to fix the house structure within the entire night as well as making temporary tents for Happousai, Souun and Genma (so that they could inspect the process of the work) to stay for the night until the two boys finished putting the entire house back in place. Kasumi, Nabiki and Akane went to Kagome's shrine to stay for the night.
Happousai was allowed to escape scot-free (as usual because he was Souun and Genma's sensei and they were afraid of agitating him).
"OUCH! Your hammer hits me---- AGAIN!!!" Ranma roared at Inuyasha who was not used to doing such job.
"KEH! Why don't you admit yourself for avoiding my blow too slow, Han- onna???!!!!"
"STUPID HANYOU!!!" Ranma snapped.
"HAN-ONNA!!!!"
"HANYOU!!!"
Happousai relaxed in a made-shift tent and watched the two boys bickering between themselves and sniggered to himself: "Trying to fight over me? Train yourselves for a few more years, tee hee hee!!!"
He suddenly felt two pairs of eyes glancing at him coldly and shut his mouth up.
"Pssss, Saotome, wait till we've better opportunity, we'll send this old man far far away from this house-----," Inuyasha whispered.
"Uh-huh! Same sentiment here, Hanyou!" Ranma whispered back.
"DON'T CALL ME HANYOU, HAN-ONNA!!!!" Inuyasha yelled and smacked Ranma's head.
"DON'T CALL ME HAN-ONNA, HANYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ranma smacked back.
Their bickering continued until Souun and Genma took turns to smack them three to four times throughout the night.
