The Cousin Comes to Visit
Chapter 1: Here's Ranma!!!
Ranma Saotome had had enough! He couldn't take it any longer. Everyone in Nerima was driving him insane and he needed a vacation. Well everyone but Akane, she drove him insane in another way. He loved her so much that it hurt but he needed to get away for just a little while. even though it would be pure torture. She was the only one who would know where he was.
"You sure you want to go?" Akane, now 20, asked.
"Yeah, but I'll be back. And when I get back. we'll get married." Ranma said smiling. It was amazing to think that in four years he had fallen so much in love with Akane he couldn't imagine his life without her. "This is where I'll be. If you need to get away from everyone," Ranma pressed a piece of paper with writing on it into her hand. "Don't let anyone else know where I am. Not even Pops. especially not Pops."
"I won't. Be careful."
"I will." He whispered before taking her lips in his own. Akane sighed at the pure sensation it caused allowing him to deepen the kiss. His tongue entwining around her own, before abruptly he wasn't there at all.
Akane looked out into the moonlit street tears running down her face as the man she loved tried to find some peace.
"Kagome, time to wake up!" Souta said pulling the covers down from his sister's face.
"Five more minutes Mom." She grumbled pulling the covers back.
"Alright Kagome onee-san you've left me no choice." The boy said his smile bordering on the wicked. Kagome yelped as cold water fell directly on her face.
"That's it Souta, you are so dead!" Kagome said chasing after her little brother angrily. Souta ran giggling into the kitchen where Jii-chan and Mrs. Higurashi were getting breakfast ready. Well, Mrs. Higurashi was getting breakfast ready, Jii-chan was starting his speech on the history of the family's pickles.
"Kagome, stop chasing your brother and go get dressed you have to go back to the warring states era today remember. Souta stop tormenting your sister and eat your breakfast, you have school this morning." Mrs. Higurashi said calmly wading through the mayhem.
A knock on the door startled everyone out of their usual routine.
"Well, it's not Inuyasha he never knocks." Kagome said as her mother went to the door. Kagome ran up the stairs to go get dressed. By the time she was back down, their guest was seated at the table enjoying some breakfast. "Ran-chan!" Kagome squealed happily embracing her cousin.
"Hey Kag-chan. Mind if I stay with you for a little while? I needed to escape Nerima for a couple weeks." He said after spinning her around just as happy to see his best friend and cousin.
"Duh, of course I don't mind. Although, I don't know how often I'll be home."
"What do you mean?" he asked quirking an eyebrow.
"Eat breakfast Kagome and you can explain it to Ranma afterwards." Mrs. Higurashi said interrupting.
"Hai, Mom." Kagome responded sitting and eating her breakfast quickly. "Tell ya what Ranma; I'll put off doing what I have to do until Inuyasha comes pick me up. Why don't we talk?" Kagome said seeing the sadness in her cousin's eyes. Kagome pulled the boy upstairs to her room. Sitting down on her bed, she waited for him to tell her what was wrong.
Ranma sat down on the floor and leaned his head on Kagome's bed. and slowly began to talk.
"I want to marry Akane. And she knows I love her. and want to marry her. but those other fiancées that Pops saddled me with. they just keep getting in the way." He said sadly.
"Come on Ranma Shampoo was your own fault. Though I won't deny Ukyo. although how Kodachi thought she became engaged to you I'll never know." Kagome said tweaking his nose.
"And of course there's Ryouga and Kuno. not to mention Mousse. they keep getting in the way of me and Akane too. I don't know what to do I'm at my wits end. Then there's this blasted curse." All the pain and heartache and stress of the last four years finally collapsed on Ranma and he began to cry. Kagome sighed. her big tough cousin really was a softie at heart. Stroking the hair on his hand Kagome whispered soothing noises. He definitely needed to get away from Nerima more often. and he and Akane needed to get married. which meant that they needed a..
"Well, I have an idea on how to help you with some of this Ran-chan." Kagome said smiling fondly at her cousin. "I happen to have a friend who is a houshi. and he can perform marriages. now the only problem is getting you to him or him to you. but I'm sure I can find a way for that to work."
"Really?" Ranma looked at his cousin surprised.
"Really, Miroku maybe a lecher but he's a good guy all in all. I'm sure he'd marry you and Akane. Now why don't you call Akane and get her to come out here."
"I can't if I do it then I'll get the whole wrecking crew." He pointed out already smiling again.
"Ok fine. I'll do it." Kagome said picking up the phone and dialing the Tendo's number.
"Moushi, Moushi." Akane said into the phone her voice sad.
"Akane, listen to me very closely. If you want to be with Ranma come to the place where he is staying. but act like you are going on a training mission alone." Came Kagome's familiar voice. Akane didn't need Kagome's name, she had helped Ranma get her alone plenty of times. Akane blushed at the memories.
"Hai."
"Good, for there a groom will be waiting for you. see ya later." Kagome said before hanging up the phone. Akane hung up her end and smiled for the first time since Ranma had been gone.
"Akane, it's good to see you smiling again." Kasumi said coming into the hallway.
"Kasumi, I'm going on a training mission. do you think you could pack me some food? Enough for about 2 weeks?" Akane asked her older sister.
"Of course, are you going by yourself?" Kasumi asked.
"Hai, don't worry Kasumi I'll be fine." Akane said hugging her sister before running up the stairs to pack.
"Now Ranma, what I'm going to do is let my friend the houshi know what's going on. I'll be back in a few. unless you want to come with?" Kagome said raising her eyebrow at her cousin.
"I would like to meet the guy who will be marring me and Akane." He said looking at her mischievous grin wondering what she was up to.
"Alright then. but maybe I should tell you a few things about where we are going first." Kagome said smiling.
What was he getting himself into? Ranma thought as Kagome began to explain.
"Oi, wench you're late." Kagome heard a familiar voice call from the top of the well. "Who's that with you?" the said voice demanded.
"Relax Inuyasha it's my cousin Ranma. he and I have business with Miroku. We are not hunting for Naraku today." Kagome said as Ranma leapt from the well with Kagome in his arms.
"What do you mean we aren't hunting for Naraku?? Look here wench."
"Inuyasha, SIT!" Kagome said calmly. The hanyou hit the ground cursing Kagome. "Come on Ranma, the village is this way."
"Okaa-san!!!" came an excited voice from the brushes. A brown fur ball launched himself at Kagome and landed square in her arms.
"Hey, Shippo-chan. Shippo this is my cousin Ranma, Ranma my pup Shippo."
"Hello." Shippo said smiling. "Okaa-san, Sesshomaru-sama came here last night looking for you. He said to tell you he would be back to claim what was his." The little kitsune looked worried over Kagome's reaction to the message.
"Humph. bout time." Kagome muttered.
"HENTAI!!!" came Sango's familiar angry cry. Followed by the predictable THWAP. as Miroku go hit with her boomerang. Kagome grinned.
"You know for a couple in love as they are. you would think that would have subsided over the past few months." Kagome said winking at her cousin.
"You'd think." Ranma agreed wondering what he and Akane would be like in years to come.
"Kagome-chan, how are you?" Sango said standing over an unconscious Miroku.
"Oh.. You knocked him out Sango. Ran-chan and I needed to talk to him. Sango my cousin Ranma. Ranma my friend Sango. She's a demon exterminator. I'm sure the two of you will get along quite well discussing fighting styles. Ranma is the heir to the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts." Kagome explained.
"Really?" Sango looked impressed. Miroku groaned as he came around.
"Miroku before you grab Sango's butt again and she knocks you out again my cousin and I need to talk to you about something." Kagome said to the now conscious monk.
"What can I do for you Kagome-sama?" Miroku asked brushing himself off.
"Ran-chan here wants to get married. Now we've got his fiancée on the way but we need a priest for the ceremony. and that's where you come in. Would you do it. please Miroku?" Kagome asked smiling brightly when the monk nodded. "Oh by the way, Miroku this is Ranma. the groom. Ran-chan this is Miroku. Akane is on her way from their town. she should be at my house tonight. We can have the ceremony tomorrow." Kagome said happily.
"Whoa. Kag slow down. let's see if Akane is comfortable with the idea first. I know that she loves me and all but I think she wanted the family there to see the wedding." Ranma said.
"Right. and what do you propose we do get the whole family here without the wrecking crew finding out? Face it Ran-chan you don't have many choices left here." Kagome pointed out.
"Oi, wench why did you leave me back there?" Inuyasha said landing next to Kagome.
"Cause you were being rude. And insistent and I don't want to deal with it today. It's not my fault you can't make up your mind between Kikyo and me. besides I've already made up your mind for you. you can have Kikyo, I found someone who likes me for me. Not because I'm his past lover's reincarnation." Kagome said her aura crackling.
"You honestly think that my emotionless brother is capable of love?" Inuyasha demanded.
"Do not speak of that which you do not understand." Came a hard cold voice from behind the hanyou.
Tell me what you think I know some ooc. sorry..
