Ranma, the Demon-Sorcerer

Chapter 6

{Chinese}

[English]

At the Hikawa Shrine...

Jackie was looking at the temple complex with

a sense of relieve and yet worry. It had not been

a source of the cursed. The only ones that were here

were the Shrine priest, his granddaughter and the shrine

caretaker. At the moment Uncle was talking to the old priest

trying to discover the source of the good chi that was taking

place in this holy place. Jade had started talking about magic

when the Chan Clan had meet the Hinos and their friend.

The mention of magic brought up the topic of the Sailor Senshi

from the young Hino girl. Tales of teenaged heroines with mystic

powers that protected Tokyo from the attacks of various lesser

demons. Rei as she was called spoke good english and was able

to speack to Jade with very little help. That had sparked Jade's

interested, one of her first question was if they needed another

member. The thought brought chills to Jackie's spine. Just what he

needed, more demons for Jade to chase.

Jackie turned to the conversations that Uncle was having with

the priest,using Tohru to translate those words that the priest

could say in english.

[So your father was the Famous Chi Master Hino? Yes?] Uncle asked

the priest. Tohru translated it into Japanese.

Mr. Hino then spoke, [Yes. He Chi Master. Make many powerful chi

spell round shrine. Hold much good chi. Powerful good chi. Have many

good chi spells.You good chi wizard? Yes?] The priest then mentioned

something in Japanese.

[Sensai, he says that he still has a few of the chi master's spellbooks

hidden away in the shrine. He is curious to know if you want to look at

them.] Tohru translated, [Do you wish to look at them?]

[Perhaps. Mr. Hino have you seen any thing strange happening in

neighbour? Anything magical?] Uncle asked, as Tohru repeated his

words in Hino's native language.

[Only Senshi. What you look for?] Hino asked curious about what

they were looking for.

[Tohru, tell him what we are looking for.] Uncle said. Tohru obeyed,

telling the tale of the demon cursed souls.

Hino looked interested. Even his granddaughter stopped to listen.

[Jusenkyo? Much curse souls. Worse. Demon-Sorcerers very powerful. Very,

very dangerous. We must find. How can help?]

Rei was shocked at the tale of these forgieners. They new about the demon

cursed. They were looking for them. One of them was named Jade, which

reminded her of the horse in her vision. The one carrying Jade. Could they

be the second horse? And for what reason where they looking for the Demon

curse? Were they help that they could trust or were they more like the

wizard Daolon Wong, seeking to steal that power? Rei knew she had to

tell the others.

But the interesting thing she had learned was that her family had a

history of powerful chi magic that she didn't know about. She knew that

her fire visions and her other minor shrine maiden powers were chi based.

Were they legacies of her chi wizard great grandfather? Could she learn to

harness them? Could they make her a better Sailor Senshi? She had to ask

Setsuna. As soon as possible.

A few days later at Furinken...

Setsuna Meiou, had set herself up as the new school coucilor. It wasn't

very hard. The last one had left after a nervious breakdown. Furinken wasn't

a school for the weak. It could suck the life out of someone. But she had

started work on her observation of the demon cursed known as Ranma.

She looked over the news that she now knew. The Chan Clan minus their

J-team mates had come over to Japan looking for the demon cursed. They

alternated between searching Junban and working at the shrine translating

the old books of chi master Hino. Setsuna wasn't sure that she was ready to

reveal the knowledge of Ranma and his fellow accursed. She needed more time,

damn it. She hadn't even gotten to know who was the one who had protected

Ranma from the power stealing spell of Daolon Wong.

So she had started to build herself a power base at this school to which

she could take care of the troubles that were going to happen around this

curse indivdual. She had even gotten herself a little back up in the form

of Hotaru. She had convinced Haruka and Michiru to move the young senshi

to the high school. It would grant her some help she could use at the

school. It was also one of the few school where Hotaru's strange powers

would most likely go unoticed by most of the population.

Setsuna had even managed to get Hotaru into the same classes as Ranma.

Hotaru had promised to try to get to know Ranma better so they could

learn more about the boy.

But now it was time to get to know the boy better herself. "Mr.

Saotome, you can come in now."

Ranma came in not expecting what to expect. He had never been called to

the school councilor. He had so many things going on at the moment without

being in trouble with a school official.

He had stepped up his training with Cologne to master his mystical skills.

She had even let him start working on minor spells by himself. He was

getting good at casting minor chi spells. Plus there was the whole fiancee

problem that he was trying to deal with. And there was the constant battles

with Kuno. Plus there was the hole demon curse problem and it's attraction

to the less desirable element.

So he was a little nervious to find himself here. And yet... Ms. Meiou

was a surprisingly attractive woman that looked a little older than him.

Her long green hair hung straight from her head, yet framing her face.

Crimson eyes looked into his blue ones, looking like they were digging

into him looking for his secrets.

"So Ranma, you have been getting into fights on school grounds with Mr.

Kuno. Why is that?" Setsuna asked him, keeping her face clear of emotions.

"I think that me and him have gotten off on the wrong foot. Plus we're

both martial artists and have to test out each other's skills." Ranma said,

trying to get her to forget about that.

"I think this is more than just a grudge that you have with Mr. Kuno.

Strange things have been happening around the school ever since you have

arrived. And all of it seems to be connected to you. Is there anything

unique you have to tell me?"

Ranma started to get more worried. He had been trying to keep his curse

condition a secret, yet pieces of his double nature occational came out.

Sometime it was through his deliberate actions, sometimes by accident.

But many people of the school seemed to believe that something weird was

connected to Ranma, especially given his strange change in colour do to

the curse.

And now this school councilor was digging deeper into the mystery that

surrounded him. But the weirdest thing was that she seemed to be familar

to him. As if he had seen her before somewhere.

"Nothing. I'm just a normal martial artist trying to go to school."

Ranma lied, trying to avoid the topic. But she had a look in her eye

like she knew that wasn't the truth and that she was looking for more.

"I see. Perhaps I should check out your home, to see if there is any

negative influences on your school life. To see what influences affect

you and might explain all of the weirdness that is gathering around you

in the school." Setsuna looked at him, a glimmer of trumph in her eyes.

Ranma didn't know what to say. He didn't want her to come to the Tendo

home with all of the things that were happening. But what choice did he

have. At least he might stall for time. "What time do you want visit?"

Elsewhere...

Daolon Wong was working on his greatest works. Tiny figures that could

contain the powerful dark chi that would give them twisted life. Figures

that were carved from strong substances like metal and gemstones. Figures

carved to take the shape of powerful creatures and items that would hold

the dark spirits that would do his bidding.

He had carved them so that they might take care of the minor irriations

that would plague his desires for the power of the demon-sorcerers. Like

the crone Cologne.

Plus there was the matter of the Sailor senshi. Powerful girls with the

powers of the planets and their elemental powers. But Daolon had

discovered that the power of the senshi was linked to their connection

to their planets. Cut their connection and they would only be ordinary

girls. Girls who could be crushed by the power of his magic.

But then there was the spells that he would need to crack the spell of

protection that Cologne had placed on the boy. He was already researching

the spells that would crack the barrier of protection. As long as their

wasn't any further spells or magic cast to protect the boy.

So Daolon Wong worked on the solution to his trouble.

Later and Elsewhere...

Ranma was practising his martial arts to keep himself calm as he felt the

world crumbled around him. Ms. Meiou was coming over to his home. She wanted

to see what environment he was growing up in. What more, once Cologne found

out that the school councilor was coming, she wanted to meet her. Ms. Meiou

should be here any minute.

His life was changing. Akane and Nabiki weren't dealing well with the curse

that he was under. Akane thought that his power was some kind of cheating with

the martial arts. Power for nothing. Nabiki didn't like the chaos that the curse

had brought. She at least tried to keep it secret.

So it was with Kasumi that Ranma felt the closest to. Especially with all of

the time they spent studying the ways of chi magic. Kasumi was skilled in the mystical

arts.She was even better than Ranma with the mystical. She seemed to have an inner

balance that helped her keep a focus on the chi that was their source of power.

She was also beautiful in a soft spoken way. Like a misty day, like that she was

named. She had a mature charm that seemed to draw one in. Her eyes seemed to sparkle.

Ranma was surprise that he found her sexy. It wouldn't too bad, if it wasn't for his

problem. He was attarcted to more than one woman.

He was also attracted to Shampoo, his fellow acursed. She had a perky spirit that

seemed to brighten one's spirit as well. She wasn't as good as Ranma in the mystical

or martial arts, but she was a better fighter than Kasumi. She was an excellent martial

artist and that wasn't even counting the powers she had gained from the powers of the

lightning demon.

So he was caught between two girls and that wasn't counting the attraction that he

had felt towards the school councilor, Setsuna Meiou. She had a wave of mystery that

seemed to pull at him, a mystery that he wanted to solve and understand. A sense of

mystery that was also making him nervious of what she was doing.

Ranma was in human-demon form, his senses telling him that trouble was on it's way.

One more than one level as he felt something coming at him. He felt something

behind him. He turned around.

He looked at the Demonic form of the Moon Demon. "Hello, Saotome. It's time to die."

A blast of dark energy shot from the demon's large right arm, hitting Ranma. It pushed

him into the ceiling. Ranma crashed into the roof of the dojo that he was practising.

Ranma rolled himself around and turned on the Moon Demon. "Mousse. Forget this fight.

You can't win while I have the power of Shendu." With that, Ranma launched a blast of

fire as the combustion of the demon tried to counter the gravity force of the Moon Demon.

Mousse dodged the flame attack, but his movement caused his beam to alter position. Ranma

used his leviatation power to move out of the way. He turned to the acursed boy and used his

superspeed to start an Amaguriken attack. The rapid punches connected with Mousse and

knocked the acursed back a bit. Mousse was injuried, but not beaten.

Ranma was getting his next move ready, when someone walked into the dojo. "Ranma, are you

in here?" MS. Meiou walked into the room. She looked at the demonic form of Mousse. The

twisted face with it's long serpent like tongue flicking in and out. The four arms of the

demon. It's huge size. She looked between Ranma and Mousse, then in a moment she shifted

into a battle stance. "It looks like I have a job to do. Pluto Planet Power." Setsuna yelled

as she thrusted a strange pen into the air.

Both demon cursed boys, stopped to watch the transformation of the young woman into the

pretty soldier of love and justice. (The fact that she became naked for a short period of

time, didn't hurt.) Soon the warrior of time, Sailor Pluto stood their. "Stop where you are,

or else I will have to stop you." A Garnet Orb staff held in her hands.

"I will have my revenge. Not even a underdressed superheroine will stop me." Mousse said,

as he turned on the Sailor senshi. "Get lost." He blasted her with a gravity beam from one

of his large arms. It pushed her against the dojo wall pinning her. He then turned one of

his smaller arms on Ranma. "Face my wraith Saotome." Mousse shot another gravity beam at

Ranma.

"Mousse, let her go. She's not part of this fight." Ranma said, still shocked at the

discovery of his councilor's secret identity. he pointed a hand towards Mousse and shot

a flume of flame.

"Not this time, Saotome." Mousse said as he brought up a gravity shield. "You shall..."

"Dead Scream!!" Pluto said as she launched her special attack. The energy of the attack

countered power of the gravity, and hit the Moon demon boy. It blasted him off in another

direction.

Ranma made his move and shot out some heat beam eyes at Mousse, trying to wear him down

until he could be looked at by Cologne. She might knew some way to handle him. But he

needed a way to stop him.

Ranma then saw the solution. He moved closer to where he had kept a glass of water. To

rehydrate himself after his fight. With it, he might be able to change Mousse back to

his human form. Ranma stopped with the heat beam eyes on Mousse and turned it on the

water. Lightly. The glass and the water heated up.

"Here Mousse, take this." Ranma threw the water at Mousse. It hit and turned the young man

back to human. "Turtle!" Ranma said as he used the Monkey talismen power. Mousse turned into

a turtle. Easily caught by Ranma. ""Wait till Cologne gets through with you."

Ranma turned to Setsuna. "I guess that we have a lot to talk about."

Setsuna just blushed a bit.

In a Demonic Neitherworld...

Tso Lan, the True Moon Demon, watched from his prison dimension the events that were

happening in the world of mortals. And his dark soul felt hope. There might be another

way out of this demonic hellhole. It had all been created from the mistake he and his

siblings had made.

They had been fighting some resistance to their rule, when the enemy forced them into

the mystical valley and into those pools of water. Everyone of them. Strangely, they had

almost drowned. Even Bai Sa, the Mistress of the Waters. But they had survived and not

thought of it. At least he didn't...until now.

Recently some of his brothers had felt a strangeness. A split in their being that seemed

like they were in two places at once. His brothers, Tchang Zu and Dai Gui, were not bright

enough to realize that magic was a foot. But he was. He used the connection as a focus to his

scrying of the human world, seeking the source of the feeling. He found the secret of the

power of Jusenkyo.

Appearently, anything that drowned in the pools...or nearly drowned, left a mystical template

in the water. Anything that hit the water was given the form of the being that drowned (or

nearly drowned) in the pool. Even the Demon-Sorcerers.

Bodies with the demon form. Bodies like his own body with just as much power. Bodies that

could be possessed. Bodies he could use to rule over the human world. But so far, the only

body with his own form was protected by good chi spells. Spells that would prevent him from

possessing him. He needed another way in. He would need an ally.

An ally that didn't know his true plans. For he had seen in his latest scrying a source of

power that had only been a legend in his time on the Earth. The legendary Moon Kingdom. A

kingdom that had been ruled by a great queen with a powerful item. A crystal composed of great

magic. Magic that had ruled planets. Magic that he had lusted for. Magic that had been connected

to his domain of the Moon.

This Moon Kingdom had also held an elite force of protectors who lifed to protect the kingdom

and the queen who ruled over it. Each one holding the power of each planet that they were named

after. A power that was based on elemental powers. Great warriors that were suppose to have died

out centuries before he came to power. A soldier that he had just scried near the acursed that

held his form.

If one of the Soldiers had survived to the present, others might have as well. And if others had

survived it might also mean that the queen's daughter might have survived. A daughter who would most

likely have the crystal.

Tso Lan smiled. If he could get into the human world, into a form of his body and gain the crystal...

He would rule supreme. No one, not his siblings, not the Chans, not the other acursed, not even the Sailor

senshi could stop him.
