A creature bathed in darkness, hidden in shadow watched. Waited. In its search it did not over look the peeved looking group of passers by. They argued with each other completely oblivious of their surroundings. "Inu- Yasha honestly what possessed you to interrogate not to mention terrify that poor man back there?" One of the group, a young girl demanded. A half- demon, or Inu-Yasha as the girl had called him shot back an answer, "He smelled like jewel shards, okay?" Kagome sighed disgusted, "He had jewel shards alright. Amethysts, Rubies, and even a few diamonds." Inu-Yasha gave her a hurt look. "At least I didn't sneak up behind the guy and grab the jewels, like someone I know." The monk of the group decided to voice his opinion, "Well I for one think..........." He was interrupted by a growl from Inu-Yasha and a, "shut up Miroku."
He quickly fell silent deciding it was best to just watch. This bickering trailed on for about 10 minutes. In the middle of a sentence Kagome stopped. "What is it Kagome?" Sango asked being the only one to notice. She looked forward, and gasped. Thousands of bodies littered the ground. Most bodies were of demons, but some were human a few even looked like gods. "Stop," Inu-Yasha commanded. He walked over to the bodies and sniffed. "These bodies have no odor," he said in a disbelieving voice. Kagome looked at him skeptically," I think you have a stuffed up nose, or something." She put her best "I don't believe you" mask on, but in truth she was scared. Kagome convinced Shippo though who was nodding his head in agreement.
Behind the bodies was a dark and musty cave. The strange thing was that none of the bodies were touching the cave. It was as if there was an invisible line which after all that had happened wouldn't have surprised Kagome in the least. She stopped and decided they should find out what it was before entering the cave. Every one felt a great wave of foreboding pass over them so the didn't object when Kagome dragged them away saying that she needed to go home and they would find this stuff out when she came back in a few days. The shadowed creature stood hidden waiting till the party passed before continuing its search. Later when Kagome remembered she would shiver at the sense of death in the air. A nerve wracking silence passed over the group as they walked away from the cave which was getting enveloped in mist.
Ranma Soatome awoke to nothing in particular. At least it seemed so at first. Suddenly a sharp tweak of pain seized him making him jump out of his futon in surprise. He saw soon what had made him jump. Pop (panda form) was running in his sleep. Ranma really wanted to check up on Akane. ' Like I really would want to check up on a tomboy like her' he thought. In the end his curiosity got the better of him and he went into her room. He had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach and kept repeating everything's fine over and over like a mantra. He walked over to her bed to find her shivering and deathly pale.
Beep, beep, beep. Kagome alarm clock woke her from her uneasy slumber. "Five more minutes," she mumbled sleepily into her pillow.

20 minutes later
"Aahh! I'm gonna so be late!" Kagome yelled as she ran out the door. She was going to be late on the first day at her transfer school. Her grandfather had run out of accuses for her and eventually decided to send her to another school (at first he wanted to stop sending her to school entirely, but her mother wouldn't stand for it). When Kagome finally arrived at her transfer school she was panting heavily and clutching her side. She looked up at her new school and blinked. Almost everyone inside were looking out the schools windows as if expecting entertainment. Kagome unconsciously registered the name on the schools front wall. Furinkan High school. The one person who hadn't gone in was a tall, brown haired boy in kendo garb and was wielding a bokken. He gave out a feeling of arrogance that didn't appeal to Kagome. "Saotome you villainous cretin. I shall smite the for thy crimes against Akane Tendou and my goddess in pigtails." the boy bellowed in an outraged tone.
He soon spotted Kagome and went starry eyed. "What is thy name fair maiden?" his question startled Kagome who was hoping to slip into school unnoticed. Kagome answered him annoyed that he ruined her plan. "Well it's......." Kagome began, but was interrupted by the boy. "Wait is it not custom to give one's own name first?" He started talking before she had a chance to answer. "Fine then," he continued, "I am Tatewaki Kunou Blue Thunder of Furinkan High." Kagome was more than a little disgusted by the display, and was about to walk to class when she heard voices from behind her announcing the arrival of a new group of students.
*Hope fully not everyone is as stupid and full of them selves as this moron.* Kagome thought fighting the voice in her head that was begging her to go to class. "Arrhg Akane I'm serious you shouldn't be here today," one of the voices (male) said behind her. "I'm fine Ranma stop babying me," responded a higher more feminine voice. "Plus why are you so worried about me anyway?" it added in a teasing tone. The male voice (Ranma was it?) was starting to get flustered. "Wh-who said I was worried about an uncute tomboy like you?" Kunou obviously heard these voices to, because he shouted, "Saotome how dare you speak to Akane that way." As a boy with long hair jet black hair rounded the corner Kunou gave battle cry and charged at him only to get a face kick knocking him out.
The girl behind him gave out a yawn. She spotted Kagome and blinked. Then, "Kagome is that you?" Kagome looked at the girl for a second confused then realization hit her. "Akane?" She asked unable to hold beck her amazement. Kunou it seems had regained consciousness, then glomped Akane and Kagome. "How tragic," he said, "two fair maidens once best friends now bitter enemies fighting over my love. Fear not sweat ones I have room in my heart for both of you, and the pigtailed girl." Kunou was then punted into the stratosphere via Akane. Ranma just stood there a puzzled look on his face. "So that was Kunou." Kagome stated (it was not a question). "Yep," Akane sighed, she had not been in the mood for Kunou today, but she brightened up at the thought of her friend here with her. Ranma coughed quietly. "Oh, yeah Kagome, Ranma. Ranma, Kagome." Kagome took a good look at her friend. Something wasn't right, but it wasn't a big enough change for Kagome to put her finger on it. "Akane, did you, umm change something?" Akane smiled her bright and warm contagious smile. "Well, there was this guy; I can't remember his name, who said he was my fiancé. He stayed at the dojo awhile and did the house work. One day he accidentally added instant dragon whisker for girls and poof my hair grew out." Ranma snorted when Akane said the word "accidentally", but it went unnoticed by Akane.
Kagome looked overjoyed, *Yay, someone who's life is weirder than mine.* "Unfortunately I was, uhh, some what allergic to it," Akane continued, "It's a miracle I can go back to school so soon." "That's what I've been trying to tell you!" Ranma cut in, "Except it's not a miracle because you're not strong enough to go to school today!" He quickly quieted down, blushing when realized he was yelling. Before an uncomftrouble moment came, they were quickly ushered in by students, who were desperate to save their friends.
Inside, Hiroshi and Daiske teased Ranma, who turned every shade of red imaginable. Akane's friends Yuka and Sayuri gasped in awe as Akane whispered something in their ears. Kagome smiled as Akane told her, and as Akane turned away frowned, thinking about what she had seen in the feudal era.
(Lunchtime)

"Hey you guys, to celebrate this reunion why don't we have a, uhh, sleepover, or something?" Akane asked cheerfully. Sayuri looked at Yuka and they both smiled evilly. "Okay," they all said simultaneously. Sayuri and Yuka slunk away and were not seen until the end of lunch.

No one had a normal English period that day. The students were writing narratives that could be anything as long as they were "school appropriate." Mrs.Hinako woman form, (everyone looked at Rumiko's empty seat, and gave her a moment of silence) was giving a lecture on metaphors, and currently reading the worst metaphors in the history of Furinkan. (These metaphors were actually used at my school. They are NOT my creation.) "When she walked bells rang, like a garbage truck backing up." The whole room rang with laughter; even Mrs.Hinako had trouble keeping a strait face. "Mary and John had never met before; they were like two humming birds that had never met before." Laughter rang throughout the halls. Mrs.Hinako was having trouble talking over them, so to prove her point she sucked the nearest student's ki. The room quickly fell silent. "She grew on him; like Ecoli grows on a room temperature slab of Canadian beef. She had a deep throaty laughter; like the sound a dog makes before throwing up."
^Bam, bam!!^ Suddenly, part of the back wall of the class room collapsed, revealing a bouncy, and purple haired, Amazon. "Shampoo have you ever used a door?" Ranma asked. It wouldn't take a genius to figure out he was very, very annoyed. "Why Shampoo use door?" They just for to too weak people. Shampoo thought airen be hungry so Shampoo bring airen dim sum." Before Ranma could answer Hiroshi (who had forgotten his lunch) inhaled the food, and promptly started hugging Daiske and confessing his love for him.
(That night)
"So what do you think will happen tonight because of Mr. Trouble Magnet Girl Magnet and Water Magnet over there?" Yuka asked. Kagome was puzzled," What do you mean?" Sayuri laughed,"You'll know before tomorrow morning." "Die Ranma!" a boy's voice came from outside. "Hey Ryouga!" Akane smiled and called out the widow," Will you stay at the dojo for awhile?!" Ryouga blushed candy apple red," S-sure Akane. I-I'd love to." Akane and Kagome had stayed pen pals after Kagome had moved so she knew exactly who this was.
(Later that night)
"Okay Akane your makeover is done." Sayuri chimed as she finished Akane's hair. "I told you it shouldn't be anything extreme and if it is," Akane paused dramatically, "I'll do you next." Akane looked in the mirror. She had two twin braids running down her back, and her clothes were black shorts and a red tank top. (Yuka said she matched "lover boy" now. Akane blushed profusely.) Akane thankfully noticed there were only slight hits of make up here and there. Kagome sighed, 'It's so good to be doing something normal for once,' she thought. "Now show it to Ryouga and Ranma," Kagome said urging Akane to go. Soon, thanks to every one pleading non-stop Akane walked to the dojo.
Apparently Ranma and Ryouga had stopped for a break because they were talking when Akane found them. Akane hid because she wanted to know what boys talked about when she wasn't around. "P-chan I'm impressed you almost got me." Akane could almost see Ryouga fidget. "Don't call me that Ranma," he said," What if Akane was around and found out I was her pet? That I was the little pig who slept with her and who she told all her secrets to." Akane stopped dead. "No," she whispered.
