The Feudal Times : Book 1

by Julian Frost

Disclamer : I have done the disclamer in my other story. I only take credit for Tatsujin, Tatsumaru, Ranmaru, Kazeryu, Ran, and Genryu Shingami. I also take credit for thinking to

make counterparts to Naraku's minions. By this, I mean Rikura, Jurika, Kahrika, Raneko,

Kanko, Ranko.

Nerima, Japan

Kagome and her family have been helping out Kagome's aunt, a woman named Nadoka, who was coping with the loss of her son, Ranma. Ranma had been missing for three months now, he had vanished after a wedding attempt. Nodoka was the sister of Kagome's mother.

Kagome sighed for the tenth time that day. She had not gone to the fudal era in more then a week.

A random valley somewhere in Feudal Japan

Miroku, InuYashak, Songo, Kirara, and Shippo were standing at the edge of a cliff

on the top of a mountain they had just climbed. They could only stare at the sight of an

energy field that surounded most of the valley. A demonic dragon, a celestrial dragon, a

dragon demon, and a dragon were locked in a fierce battle. Within moments, only the

celestial dragon and the demonic dragon were the only ones left as they killed and absorbed

the other two creatures. Their powers more then doubled as they won their battles. As the

fight continued, Miroku noticed that a young man sat on a stone pillar. He was watching the fight and appeared to be casting a spell of somekind. The battle was soon over as the

celestrial dragon had slayed and absorbed the demonic dragon and it's powers.

The celestrial dragon tried again and again to escape from the valley, but the

force field kept him trapped. Suddenly, a tunnel form to connect dome to the area around

the young man. The man threw his clothing to the side, as the celestrial dragon was drawn

into the man's body. After flaring light show of pure power, Miroku looked on at the young.

The group knew that what they had just seen had been the samething that Naraku had done to

make his new body. Just as InuYasha's group moved to confront the young man, when he

vanished into a whirlwind.

Soon after, Kagome returned to the past and learned about the fight of the dragons.

Over the next three months, 6 men and 6 women appeared. All 12 were diffrent, yet seemed

to share some kind of link. For the next 6 months, things went as they had before. Kagome

and her group kept searching for the Shikon Shards, and fighting Naraku's minions. As time

went by, Kagome's group learned about rumors about the 'Children of Ranma'. Each of the

12 'Children' tried to forge their own path in the world and live their life.

Ranmaru looked over at the wolf-demon Kouga. Kouga had run up to Ranmaru and demanded his

Shikon Shards. Ranmaru just stood there looking at him. "How about this, we fight and the

winner gets the losers Shards," stated Ranmaru. Kouga agreed and they got into fighting

stances. Ranmaru vanished using the UmiSenKen, ran forwards, and punch the hell out of

Kouga. Kouga jumped away, holding his broken right arm. Ranmaru reappeared infront of

Kouga and stabbed Kouga's chest with his clawed hand. A stream of acid sprayed out of

each of Ranmaru's claws. Kouga barely had time to gasp, before Ranmaru attacked again.

Kouga's world went black when Ranmaru's fist slammed into Kouga's gut. When Kouga awoke,

he saw Ranmaru looking at two Shikon Shards, both had Kouga's scent on them. Kouga jumped

at Ranmaru in rage. "Give all those shards right now!" screamed Kouga. A wall of spirit

dragons slammed into Kouga and knocked him out. Kouga woke up again to see Ranmaru holding

what looked like his clothing in one hand. Kouga looked down at his body, to see that he

was wearing women's clothes. Kouga also caught the scent of perfume and make-up, coming

from his body. Once more Kouga attacked Ranmaru in rage, as before, a stream of spirit

dragons pushed Kouga back. When the spirit dragons moved away, Kouga was chained to a

large boulder, and he was gagged. Ranmaru spoke, "Since you went back on our deal, I have

decided to punish you, by leaving you here just the way you are now." As Ranmaru vanished

into a cloud of spirit dragons, Kouga saw that Ranmaru had Kouga's sword strapped to his

belt.

Same plce, two days later

Kagome, her group, and two wolf-demons had walked up the trail, and fond Kouga.

"What happened to you Kouga?" asked Kagome. "Somebody knocked me out and stole my Shards,

my clothes, and my sword." Kouga lied, "Then he dressed me like this and left me here."

"Don't worry Kouga, we'll help you get back at that theif," said Kagome. Suddenly, the

mountain pass was filled with dark laughter. "I was going to come back and give your stuff

back to you, after releasing you." "But not after your lies, and your attempt to get these

people to attack me for you." "You and I made a deal to fight each other for our Shards,

then after I won, you tried to steal my Shards." At this point, Ranmaru dropped his

UmiSenKen. "Now I have six Shikon Shards," Stated Ranmaru.
