A/N: Teehee! I'm glad I got some reviews! *^_^* I was starting to get lazy... If anyone even noticed, bakemono means monster in Japanese. I'm not good with making up names so I just looked on this website that had Japanese words and their English translation, saw bakemono, and decided to name that demon Bakemono. ^^heh

*Disclaimer* I don't own either Ranma or Inu-Yasha. v_v, Can you believe the two BEST shonen manga out there are by the same creator?! 0_O!

Chapter 2: Kidnapped

Somewhere in Nerima:

It has already been five days since Naraku had ordered Bakemono to find 'the powerful human'. His time will be up in only two more days, but he has learned all the things he needs to know to capture his prey, Ranma. Bakemono realizes he isn't even near Ranma's level, but with some help from the shard of the Shikon Jewel and a small distraction, he knows he'll be able to get what he wants. All he needs to do now is set his plan in motion.

Tendo Dojo, evening:

'Man, that idiot Ryoga! Always starting a fight with me for some reason or another. And to make it worse, it starts raining and that pervert Kuno comes out of nowhere and squeezes the life out of me!...' After a day of arguing with Akane, being glomped from everyone to Shampoo and Kuno, and fighting with Ryoga, Ranma finally has some time alone in peace to practice in the dojo and reflect on the day's events. '…and for the past couples of days, I've had this weird feeling that I was being watched, but I never saw anyone. Oh well, just probably my imagi--'

Ranma's thoughts were interrupted when he heard a loud crash and a high-pitched scream echo through the house. He automatically knew which room it came from and whom the scream belonged to.

'Akane!' Ranma's mind yelled as he ran at top speed up the stairs to her room.

When Ranma got to the entrance of her room, he was brought to a stop; all he could do was gasp at the sight in front of him. The whole room looked like it had just been through hell and back. The window was shattered, furniture was flung everywhere, the curtains and Akane's clothes were shredded and scattered across the room. From what Ranma could tell Akane had tried to fight back to whoever attacked her, but she was no match, considering not even Ranma felt the attacker's presence. Though, through all the rubble, there wasn't a sign of Akane anywhere.

Meanwhile, behind Ranma, Soun's crying his eyes out, sobbing mumbles of what sounds like, "My poor baby Akane!"; Kasumi was too shocked to say anything expect, "Oh my!"; and Genma, in panda form, held up a sign that said ack. On the other hand, Nabiki had composed features and was reading a piece of paper she found on the floor.

Nabiki could feel Ranma's aura flare up, so she calmly got his attention by saying, "Umm, Ranma, maybe you should read this before you do anything drastic." She handed him the note, and after he finished reading it, Ranma gritted his teeth and crushed the paper in his hand.

By that time, no one even had a chance to ask Ranma what the note said because as soon as it disintegrated in his hand, he jumped out the window.

Feudal Era:

Inuyasha and gang were just walking around, bored out of their minds, trying to find more pieces of the Shikon jewel, when suddenly Kagome stopped in her tracks, "Wha..."

Everyone turned around while Inuyasha anxiously asked, "Huh? Kagome what is it? Do you sense a jewel shard near by?"

"Oh, uh, no. I mean, yes and no."

Sango, completely confused, politely asked, "What do you mean?"

"Well, I thought I felt a very faint presence of a shard, but I couldn't make out where came from. I don't feel it anymore, so I must have been imagining things."

"Yeah, you're probably right, Kagome. We should get going," Miroku said to everyone while he started walking again.

"Feh! Whatever then." 'Irritated' clearly written all over Inuyasha's face.

Kagome still was a little troubled by what she felt, but she didn't want anyone worrying since she wasn't really sure about it herself. So she kept quiet.

To be continued... 

"Exhausted, without the strength to search

people vanish into the infinite darkness."

A/Blah: I hope this chapter was ok. ?_? Maybe a bit OOC? Even though I said it was all right for someone to flame my story, I'm really glad I didn't get any! ^_^ THANK YOU to all the peeps who reviewed the 1st chapter! (Sorry, if you don't like being called a peep! v_v)

Ummm, hi?: HAHA! You're funny! ^_^ But you're scaring me! x_x (just kidding ^_-) I'll go on your and Reena's website but where's it at? Who are you? Is Ummm, hi? your real screen name?

Neko: I don't remember Naraku ever chuckling but I don't remember him ever not chuckling. To me, he seems like he would chuckle evilly, in a sarcastic way though. I completely forgot Inuyasha calls Kagome 'Wench'! ^^; I'm going to leave it as it is though because I'm just plain lazy, but I'll use it for later chapters. ^_~

Final-Fan: Bakemono feels something on the other side of the well; he doesn't see visions or anything of the future. In the anime/manga, Inuyasha can sense when Kagome is in trouble when she's in her time, so I thought it would be possible for other people to sense things from which ever side of the well they're on. If Kagome's grandfather put spirit wards on the well, he must feel something. I know I have to put more content, but I get lazy! ^_^ (I tried really hard in this chapter.)

Leigh: *sniff* I'm happy you thought I could write ok. ;_; Thanks! (and for the review.)

KittyShampoo: Yay! My first reviewer! ^_^ Thank you for reviewing, I'm so glad you thought my story was interesting.

I haven't written chapter 3 yet, but I'm going to try and start it. Oh yeah, if anyone wants to recommend a Ranma ff to me that is already completed or is not completed but is still very good, please tell me! I want to read something new. 

Review! Me sleepy. -_- Zzzz…
