Disclaimer: Stories are made by authors; authors write stories by creating characters to base a basic plot around. Fan fictions are stories that are written with the same characters made by that specific author, but based around a different plot. This is a story based on the characters from author Rumiko Takahashi's manga Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2. The characters are in her full copyright and so. LET'S GIVE A BIG HAND TO RUMIKO TAKAHASHI FOR CREATING SUCH GREAT PEOPLE IN HER HEAD!!!!!!!!

The next morning Akane woke up in her bed saying "What a horrible nightmare I just had. It was so strange. I guess I shouldn't have eaten so much eel last night." She was quickly cut off when Inuyasha poked his head into the tent saying "Akane are you up yet! You've slept the whole morning!!" "I guess it wasn't a dream." Akane then said after seeing the half demon in her face.

Everyone else had gotten up by the time Akane got out of Ryoga's portable tent. Ranma was sparring with Genma-panda, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were staring at the animal wondering whether the animal was a demon or just an animal, Ukyo was making breakfast because Ranma begged enough, Shampoo (with a being tortured duck in her hand) was watching Ranma spar, Cologne and Happosai and Soun were sitting smoking from pipes, and Inuyasha and Kagome were just sitting together watching all of the commotion.

"Hey Cologne, how'd you get here anyway? You weren't with us when we all fell into the well. You kind of just magically appeared during the ruckus yesterday" Ranma said which was a question on everybody's mind. "Do you remember my magic mirror that Happy stole?" Cologne asked. "Yes" the group said waiting anxiously for an answer from Cologne.

"Well when you all were gone for so long I went to the dojo to look for you all and Kasumi said that you all went on a trip to Disneyland, Japan and you all wouldn't be back for a few days. Well seeing the opportunity to reclaim my stolen mirror and join you all, I went to Happy's room and got the mirror. I told it to take me to all of you wherever you maybe and it brought me to this spot where I saw you all arguing over dinner. So I just slipped into the conversation and you all just didn't seem to notice that I magically appeared." Cologne explained to a half caring audience.

"Wait you have the magic mirror! We can go home now!" Akane said to the old woman. "Not so fast young lady. Do you think I'm going to give the power of my magic mirror away? No! The only way I'd help you all is if son- in-law married Shampoo now." Cologne replied with a smirk on her face.

"That's not fair! You should be kind enough to help everyone instead of help with a string attached!" Kagome said to the old woman but she didn't listen. "Let them bicker Kagome, its fun to watch!" Inuyasha said, also with a smirk on his face that was quickly erased with a SIT!

"C'mon Cologne, isn't there any other way we can use your mirror?" Ranma asked with a look of desperation on his face. "Well you could become my lap dog and always do what I say." Cologne began to say but was interrupted by Ranma getting down on all fours and barking and made everyone face fault. "YOU'RE PATHETIC!!!!!" Akane screamed sending Ranma into orbit again via Magically-Appearing-Mallet-Express or M.A.M.E. (what a coincidence, the word maim in the name hehe! Sorry continue reading). "She's right. That is pathetic. I wouldn't even do something like that." Inuyasha said watching Ranma soar across the sky. Akane then went over to Inuyasha and Kagome and plopped herself in-between the two with an annoyed expression on her face

"The only other way I'd let you have this mirror is if you could take it from me" Cologne then said when Ranma came out of orbit. "Fine I except!" said a half conscious Ranma. "On one condition." Ranma then said after pulling himself out of the ground. "And that is." Cologne replied. "That Inuyasha be my partner and we fight you together!" Ranma said letting everyone let out a gasp of shock (which is pretty hard for a duck to do).

"No way! I don't want to work with a weak little human like you!" Inuyasha yelled to the pigtailed boy. "Hey I'm no ordinary human. I have a lot of power in this body of mine. Trust me with the two of us working together; we can beat any foe, including a powerful one like Cologne" Ranma told the half demon. "You mean that old lady has power?" Inuyasha said with a half-grin on his face. "Yeah, always remember that looks can be deceiving. C'mon lets go formulate a plan to take that mirror" Ranma said then dragged Inuyasha off into the forest. "Don't go away everybody we'll be back soon" Ranma said with a cursing Inuyasha behind him. "Don't worry son-in-law, I'll still be here!" Cologne replied smoking a pipe and watching the two figures disappear into the forest.
