This will be a Ranma ½ D.M.C. (Devil May Cry) crossover/fusion. The story will start at the beginning, Ranma arriving at the Tendo's. There will be a mayor difference, he will be very OOC but this will be explained later on. The story will be rather dark and contain fairly bloody scenes. Also the story will take place after the events in the game. Now I hope you enjoy it.



Chapter Five

* *: Panda sign

: Thoughts



Ranma was trying to meditate when he heard a voice call his name. He opened his eyes and looked at whomever it was that had called to him. When he looked he saw a young boy that was about his own age, if his guess was correct. The boy wore a yellow spotted bandana and a big backpack with an umbrella. He could tell that the boy was surprised or something, for his mouth hung agape. "Excuse me do I know you? It seems you know me."

Ryoga was still surprised he found Ranma here and now that he saw him he had second thoughts about going through with what he came here to do. "Uhm eh well.."

"Well if it's not important could you please leave me alone, I don't have time for any nonsense." Ranma turned his head again and closed his eyes.

Ryoga, hearing Ranma telling him to piss of in a polite matter, found himself angry and wanted to settle this. He had forgotten what Ranma had nearly done to him 2 years ago. How could he call what I came here to do nonsense?

"No I'm not leaving and what I came here for is no nonsense, it's very important. I came here to finish what we started 6 years ago. I am here to finish our fight, the fight you ran out on."

This got Ranma's attention, it seemed as if he knew the boy and that the two of them where going to fight. He looked at the boy again and tried to think of where and when he had seen him before. Also the part about running away from a fight stung him. As far as he could remember, he had never run away from a fight before. "Okay then tell me, who are you. It seems I can't remember your name."

"My name is Hibiki Ryoga and we where supposed to fight six years ago when you ran out on our fight. When I got to the appointed place after four days you where nowhere to be found."

Hearing the name Ranma suddenly remembered the boy before him. He and Ryoga had been going to the same school when they where younger and every day there would be fight during lunch. The purpose of the fight was usually about who would get the last bread. He was the winner of every fight and it seemed Ryoga wasn't pleased with this so one day he challenged him to a fight. They where supposed to meet at a small lot located 500 yards from Ryoga's house. He remembered having waited there for three days before falling asleep. When he woke up he found himself at home in bed. It seemed that his father had found him there and had taken him home. "Say Ryoga tell me why did it take you four days to get there, I waited there three days before falling asleep. No don't tell me, you where lost huh? I remember you're sense of direction so it wouldn't surprise me."

"Don't make fun of this, because you ran out on the fight I had to go after you. Everywhere I went I would find trouble and never a sign of you or your father. I even...." Ryoga was about to mention the fact that he had met Ranma in America but he also remembered the words from that guy in a red coat. "No matter, I'm here to finish our fight."

"SIGH! You mean you want to fight me here and now?" Even though Ranma didn't want to fight him he just had to because it had been a vow between men. He felt like finishing what started all those years ago.

"Yes I want to finish our fight but not right here. I want it to take place in a more public place with an audience so people can witness your defeat by my hands."

"Oh I see. I think I know of a place where to fight. Why don't we fight at my school, there's a large field so there's plenty of room? And if you leave right now I think you'll be able to find it about four days. The school's name is Furinkan High school and it's pretty close by so I suggest you go and we'll meet there in four days, we'll fight at noon. Okay?"

It'll take him at least four days to get there so I'll have plenty of time to find out what came over me when if fought Kuno. I think I'll go on a training trip and come back when I'm due to fight Ryoga.

"I don't know about that, you might run out on me again."

"Don't worry, I won't. The school's in that direction." Ranma said while pointing north in the direction of Furinkan High. "So what do ya say?"

"Okay I'll be there. We'll fight in four days at your school, you make sure there are people to see our fight." Ryoga tightened the straps on his pack and set out to find Furinkan High School. As usual Ryoga started of in the wrong direction. He went south instead of north.

"I'll do that." Ranma decided it was time to get back to school and tell Akane that he would be away for a few days. Also he knew just the way to get an audience for their fight.



The ambulance had just left to take Kuno to the hospital. When the paramedics asked what had happened everyone told them that Kuno had just been in a fight with some people. The paramedics knew how stupid Kuno could be and didn't ask any more questions. Judging from the injuries he had done something really stupid but he would be finein due time. Because of Kuno's almost daily beating his body had gotten used to the beatings, so he would be fine in a week or so. Sure his ribs would take a bit longer to heal but after a week or so he would be fit for school again.

Almost every student had gone back into the school. The only ones out there where Akane and Nabiki. "Don't worry Akane, Kuno will be fine as for Ranma I have a feeling he'll show up soon enough."

"I hope you're right because when I looked into his eyes after he had beaten Kuno I saw something that scared me. I saw fear and disbelief in his eyes. It was as if he was afraid of himself." Akane knew from the things Ranma had told her that he would never hurt someone like he did Kuno so she was curious to what made him act like the way he did.

As if called Ranma came walking onto the school grounds. Ranma saw that the place was empty for two people, just the two he was looking for. He walked up to the two of them and looked at them. "Hello Akane. Please tell me how's Kuno?"

"Don't worry Ranma he'll be fine, according to the paramedics he'll be fit for school in about a week or so. Tell me what happened?"

"That's something I'm going to find out, you see I'm going on a training trip to try and find out what happened to me. I think I'll be gone for about three or four days. No longer."

"Oh and why not longer then four days?" The way Ranma said that he would be gone no longer then four days made Nabiki's hairs stand up.

Author's note: Like most people have hairs that stand up when something is about to happen, Nabiki's hairs had evolved so they would stand up when there was profit to be made.

"That's why I'm glad you're here Nabiki. If my guess is correct you can help me with this. You see in four days from now I'm going finish a fight that started 6 years ago. We want to finish the fight with an audience. So tell me am I right in assuming you'll be able to arrange just that. The fight will be held here at school. So you think you can arrange for an audience?"

Nabiki smiled when she heard the words coming from Ranma. She would make a bundle. "Sure I'll make sure there are people to see your fight. By the way, what's the other guy's name?

"His name is Ryoga Hibiki, he and I where on the same school when we where about 10 years old."

"Okay, I'll get on it right away." Nabiki turned and entered the school with yen signs in her eyes. Now all I have to do is make sure that everyone bets on the loser of the fight. I'll have to try and find that Ryoga guy and see how strong he is compared to Ranma. If he's stronger I'll be fine because after today everyone will bet on Ranma. If he's weaker I'll have to make sure that this Ryoga is stronger than Ranma.

As soon as Nabiki was out of sight Ranma looked at Akane. "I'm sorry for what I did today. I don't know what came over me and it's because of that that I'm going on a training trip. I need to get things straightened out. Will you tell everyone where I am if they ask."

"First answer me this, what are you going to do if you're not able to find out what came over you when you fought with Kuno? Will you still fight this Ryoga?"

"If I'm not able to find out what came over me I simply won't fight Ryoga. I don't want what happened to Kuno to happen to Ryoga or anyone else for that matter?"

Akane looked at Ranma and she saw how important this trip was going to be to Ranma. "I see, glad you see it that way. Also I'm not going to tell everyone where you are."

"Huh, why not?"

"I'm not going to tell them because Nabiki is going to tell them and because I want to go with you. From what you told me you're a poor cook and you like my cooking so I'll cook for you. Also I want to come with you so I can see you train and I want you to tell me about some of the other things you've seen or done in your life. That is, if you don't mind me coming with you." Akane really wanted to go with Ranma because that way she would get to learn even more about him. It also meant that she would get a chance to train with Ranma.

"Well okay you can come, but I have to warn you. When I go on a training trip it's not like a camping trip, all I take with me is some water a tent and some other stuff but no food. All the food we need we will find out there. If you think you can handle this you can come with me."

Akane didn't need o think things over. This was the way a martial artist should train his/her skills, using only the things nature gives you. "Yes I'll be fine, let's go pack our stuff and get out of here. I'll leave a note at home to Nabiki so she can tell everyone where we are."

"Okay then let's go."



And as the two of them walked of the school ground they didn't know that they where being watched. Ezegiel was standing in front of the pool looking at the image of Ranma and Akane packing their stuff and getting ready for their trip. "It seems the two of them will fit perfectly together. I'll make sure that you two will have some privacy on this trip, you deserve that much at least Ranma." Looking around Ezegiel made sure he was alone and that no one would see what he was about to do. Closing his eyes Ezegiel let his power flow through his body and focused it in his hands. Ezegiel had found a way to focus and manipulate his power in such a way that he would be able to interfere with any magical, mystical or even divine way that could be used to spy on Ranma's life. He also knew that he could only use this technique once because it would use up a lot of his power and after using it, they would know how he had done this so they would know how to counteract it. When the energy reached its peak he released it into the pool in front of him. The effect was instantaneous, the image of the pool blurred and disappeared. On earth the effect where also visible for a fraction of a second. If someone had been looking at the earth's outer layer, they would have seen a slight have pass over the entire outer layer in a fraction of a second. This layer would interrupt anyone's attempt on spying on Ranma with the help of mystical, magical or divine equipment. The effect would last at least one week.

What Ezegiel didn't know was that there would still be a way to spy on Ranma, so he didn't take notice of a lone form sitting in a tree on the school grounds. The person was dressed in what seemed to be a brown outfit, it resembled the outfit of a ninja. I'm sure Kurei-sama would want me to follow this Ranma. And in the blink of an eye the tree was empty again.

Meanwhile Nabiki had gone back to class. She was thinking about the money she would make from Ranma's fight against this Ryoga. A few hours later school was out and as she came walking out of school a couple of her friends where waiting for her. "Hikari, Megumi, just the two I wanted to see." When she came closer she saw the look in Megumi's eyes and she knew something was wrong. "Hey Megumi, what's the matter?"

"Uhm I." Megumi didn't know how to tell Nabiki what had happened to her yesterday, in that dark alley.

"Come on what ever it is you can tell me."

"I guess so. Yesterday when I was out I kind of got lost when I tried to find some shop. I ended up in a dark alley and I ran into some thugs. I tried to run away but they caught me and then tried to rape me." As she spoke tears where forming in her eyes.

Nabiki saw that her friend was starting to cry. She quickly placed an arm around Megumi's neck and gave her a hug. This was a side she'd never show to anyone except to her closest friends. Megumi and Hikari had been her friends for many years now and she trusted them completely as they trusted her. "What, you mean you where raped? Did you go to the police?"

"No I wasn't raped, they tried to rape me but just when they where about to do so a young man showed up. He attacked the thugs and as he did that I fainted, but when I came to all the thugs where dead and I was wearing his jacket." As she finished Megumi opened her bag and took out the leather jacket.

"You mean that that young man killed them, why do you say this?"

"After I came to there was a foul stench in the alley, the stench of burned flesh and the where several piles of ash and even some chucks of flesh. So I made out that the thugs had been burned to death by something and if my guess is correct I'd say it was the young man who saved my life. This is the jacket I was wearing when I came to. I remember seeing the young man wearing this jacket before passing out. I hoped you would be willing to try and find to whom this jacket belongs. I want to thank him for helping me."

Nabiki took the jacket and examined it. As soon as she saw the jacket she knew to whom it belonged. It was a black leather army jacket, from the American army to be more accurate. Also one of the patches on the right arm was missing. She remembered when Ranma had asked her where a certain building was located. When he had asked her that, he had been wearing a jacket just like this. No, he was wearing this jacket because the jacket he wore then was also missing one of the patches on the right arm. She managed to hide the fact that she knew who it was that had saved her friend. She knew she first had to be sure that it was Ranma and also how he managed to take on a group of thugs and managed to kill them just like that. "I see, I'll find out whoever it was that helped you out."

"You will do that Nabiki?"

"Sure Megumi. We're friends aren't we? And like you said, you wanted to thank who ever saved you. But are you sure that you're okay? I mean it had to have been a shocking experience."

Megumi smiled at her friend, she was glad that Nabiki was able to show here friends compassion while to everyone else she seemed to be a cold "Ice Queen". "I'm fine Nabiki, being able to talk about what happened to me has helped a lot."

"I see, okay then what would you say to going into town and getting some ice cream?"

"Yeah, I'd love some." And before Hikari could react Megumi was dragging her and Nabiki away on their way to get some ice cream.



Meanwhile Ranma and Akane had packed their stuff and where on their way. When they came home they found the house empty so they packed and left a note to Nabiki. The note said why they weren't home and when they would be back. They where now on their way to a forest outside of Tokyo. They where making good time but Ranma could tell that Akane was getting tired. His pace was just to fast for her. Looking around her saw a small restaurant and decided to get something to eat. Sure he could try and find something to eat in the wild but he felt like having one final hearty meal before training. "Say Akane, you feel like about resting a bit and getting something to eat? There's a small restaurant over there."

Looking to where Ranma was pointing she saw the small restaurant. As soon as her eyes caught sight of the restaurant her stomach started to rumble.

"It looks like your stomach answered for you." Ranma slowed his pace and together they walked to the restaurant. As soon as they came there they noticed that it seemed to be a fairly luxurious establishment.

"Uhm Ranma this looks like some expensive restaurant. I don't think that we've got the money to eat here." As they came closer they could smell the food and Akane had to admit, it smelled great. It seemed to be an Italian restaurant. As Akane smelled the food her stomach started to rumble even louder.

Ranma, hearing Akane's stomach, turned around and smiled. "Oh I think we can afford it, don't worry. Also I have a feeling that if we continue without eating you'll collapse of hunger and the rumbling of your stomach will create a large earthquake."

Akane blushed as she heard Ranma's words. He's right I feel like collapsing right here and now. But how are we going to afford eating here.

"Well, okay but like I said I have a feeling it's to expensive for us."

"As I said before, don't worry. We can afford it." And so the two of them went to the restaurant and entered.

As soon as they came inside a young man was sitting at what seemed to be some kind of counter. It seemed that everyone who came here had to check in here. To Akane it was clear that this was a very expensive restaurant. The man saw the two of them enter and came in their direction. "Excuse me, may I help you?"

Ranma noticed in the tone of the man's voice that he didn't like the fact that two "scruffy" dressed teens came here. "Yes you may. We would like a table for two please."

"I don't mean to be rude but are you sure you can afford eating here? This isn't a third grade restaurant like you may be used to."

"Hey! You don't have to talk to us like that." Akane stepped forward and was about to grab the man's shirt when Ranma stopped her.

"I know that sir. May I talk to you in private for a moment?" Ranma motioned the man to follow him.

The man followed Ranma and as soon as they where away from Akane Ranma took out of wad of money and showed it to the man. "Do you think that this is enough for us to eat here?"

The man's eyes grew large as he saw the large amount of money in Ranma's hand. There had to be about 40000 yen there. "Why certainly sir, I'll show you to your table."

Feh, looks like Dante was right. Money can buy you respect.

"Good, now if you make sure we have a good dinner I'll be sure to make it worth the effort."

"Thank you sir. Let me show you to a nice private booth." The man walked back to Akane.

Ranma winked to Akane and motioned her to follow them. They entered the restaurant part and where shown to a private booth where they sat down.

"Would you like to order something to drink?"

"Yes I'd like some orange juice. What about you Akane?"

"Uhm, I'll have the same." Akane was still a bit surprised that they where going to eat here.

"I'll be right back with your drinks and the menu." The man bowed and went of to fix their drinks.

As soon as he was away Akane looked at Ranma. "Say Ranma what did you say to that guy? When we entered he didn't seem to like our presence and now he's treating us like some hotshot business people."

"Oh nothing in particular, I just explained to him that I wanted to take my fiancée out to dinner. Also I made it clear to him that the bill would be no problem."

Akane blushed. Is he serious about taking me out to dinner? I've never been to such an expensive restaurant.

"Did you tell him that so we would be able to eat here?"

"No I wanted to take you out to dinner one day and when I saw this restaurant and heard you stomach I thought now is a good a time as any. But don't worry when we get back from our trip I'll take you out for dinner again, but then it'll be a real date. Now it looks like out drinks are ready and we can view the menu."

The waiter placed their drinks on the table and handed Akane and then Ranma the menu. "Call me when you've made your choice." The waiter pointed to a small bell standing at the edge of the table. He then bowed again and walked away.

Akane looked at the menu and was shocked. The price of what seemed to be the cheapest dish was enough for their entire family to eat from for an entire week. Oh man I hope that Ranma knows what he's doing. Everything looks delicious.

"Like I said, order what ever you want. I'm going to go the house specialty, okay not one house specialty. I'm going for four of them because else I won't have enough. What about you Akane?" Ranma placed his menu down and looked at Akane.

Akane's eyes where the size of dinner plates and she was drooling. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. "I don't know. I'm so hungry I could eat not just a horse but a whale."

Hearing Akane having trouble deciding what to eat he gave her a few tips on what was good and what wasn't. He also made clear that she would have to order a few dishes to make sure she would have had enough. As soon as Akane had made up her mind Ranma called for their waiter and they ordered their dinner.

After ordering they decided to talk for a bit, Akane as curious what kind of boy Ranma was. "So Ranma tell me what kind of people are your cousin and aunt? You said you'd tell about them some other time. Well why not now?"

"Sure why not. Let's see." As Ranma took a deep breath he checked around to make sure no one was listening or could hear them talk. And as he began he had his senses trimmed on anything coming their way. "Okay well my cousin's name is Dante, I don't know his last name. Anyway he is what you might call a private investigator but not an ordinary one. You see like I told you before, he is a Demon Hunter and a damn good one at that. When he finds a demon, he makes sure they leave this world forever if you get my drift. Like I told you before he is also part demon, just like me. His father was a demon and he inherited his powers from him, he inherited his human side from his mother. When he fights demons he's ruthless but when he is with other people he's a very kind person." Ranma remembers the first time he saw Dante fight a demon, man was that demon screwed. As soon as Dante saw his target he seemed to change into a whole different person and literally tore the demon apart.

"I didn't know that I had a cousin living in America but when my father told me to stay with him and that he would teach me martial arts I was very anxious to go. When I was with Dante and Trish in America they took me to many fun places, amusement parks and stuff like that. They also taught me a lot about martial arts and about my demon powers. As for my aunt Trish, she's a lot like Dante, hard against demons and nice to others. There is one big difference between Dante and Trish. You see Trish wasn't born like humans are. You see, a powerfull Demon Emperor, called Mundus, created her. She was created to lure Dante in a trap so he could be killed. Yet in the end she saved Dante's life as Mundus tried to kill him. It would seem that she had feelings for Dante. The same went for Dante, he had feeling for her as well. Trish was also the one who showed me that going easy on girls because they where girls was nonsense. You see, when I was in the states the third day she asked if I wanted to spar with her so I could learn some new stuff. When she asked me that I told her that I wasn't supposed to fight girls. Man when she heard that she nearly freaked out and went at me all out. I ended up in a very small corner of the room in what you might call a bloody mess. She then asked me again if it was wrong to fight girls. As stubborn as I was I told her that I would not fight girls. Hearing that she laughed and left the room. The week after that she would ask me the same question and if I answered wrong she would fight me and beat me up again. Finally after a week I saw that my fathers words where nonsense. You see, girls can fight just as good as guys, sure they don't have the same amount of muscle as a boy but they usually compensate that with speed. And believe me when I tell you, Trish is fast. A lot of the times we fought she would hit me ten times when I had just been able to hit her about two to three times. She taught me many things, among that to never underestimate your opponent no matter how weak they may seem. The time I spent there was great but as you know some other unpleasant things happened to me there."

Akane knew what he was talking about and felt sorry for him. She couldn't think of how painful it would be if she had lost someone as important as Samantha. She hoped she'd never had to go through something like that. "You don't have to continue if you don't want to."

"Huh, no it's okay. Anyway, like I said she taught me a lot about fighting demons and stuff. But don't forget Dante, man does he know how to fight. When we first sparred I thought I would be able to take him on, man was I mistaken. He showed me every corner of the room multiple times. He then told me that I could be just as strong if not stronger then him and when I asked how, he just said that I'd find out some day. The day I found out was the day he told me I was part demon. Man did I find out how strong I was. After I found out I was part demon and learned to control my powers I became a lot stronger. Not long after that was I able to take on Dante. But just when I thought I was stronger he showed me a whole new side to him. You see when he fought me before I had my powers he wasn't using his demon powers so when he started to use them he kicked my ass again. So now I'm trying to get a better fighter and when I see him again I want to fight and see how strong I've gotten. All in all, he and Trish me made like I am today and I wouldn't have it any other way. So I hope this answered some of your questions and sorry that I kept on talking."

"Oh I don't mind. I'm glad o got to know a bit more about your family." Just when Akane was about to say something else the waiter approached with their food. As soon as he set it down they dove in. Within half an hour they where done eating and both where stuffed. The waiter was stunned. Here where two teens and they had just eaten more food then four grown-ups could eat in only half an hour.

As soon as both of them where done eating Ranma paid the bill and generously tipped the waiter. After that, they went on their way again. They where making good progress and soon they found themselves walking in what seemed to be some kind of small canyon. Akane was walking next to Ranma and was taking in the scenery. At first she didn't notice but as they came along the temperature seemed to rise while the sun was already past its highest point. Looking at Ranma it seemed he wasn't bothered so she shrugged it of as being her imagination. But as they went on the temperature seemed to rise and just when she thought about asking Ranma what was going on she noticed that he'd stopped. It seemed as if he was trying to feel his surroundings and she noticed a slight red aura surrounding him. "Ranma what's the matter?"

"I have a feeling that we're not alone, someone or better something has been following us and I don't think it's coming to ask us directions. All I don know that it's a demon, that I'm sure of but I don't know what kind of demon, never felt anything like it."

Ranma then turned around and faced Akane and what Akane saw scared her. Gone where the blue eyes in their place where twin fire burning bright. "Akane I suggest you get out of here right now."

"But.."

"No buts, go!! I don't want you here when that demon catches up with us. Now go, I'll find you when I'm done here. Also take my shirt. I have a feeling I'll have to use my wings and I don't want to mess up this shirt." He tossed his shirt to Akane and the turned around. "Now go I'll catch up with you. You start running and don't stop until you reach that restaurant we ate at earlier."

Akane picked up the shirt and took one more look at Ranma. The look in his eyes, she could tell that he hated demons with all his hart. It was when she had turned and was running away she thought of something. If Ranma hated demons so much, how could he live knowing he was part demon himself? He was part of that he hated the most. She told herself she would ask him that when he was done with what ever he was going to do so she just kept on running.



Meanwhile Ranma could feel the demon was close, he just knew it. He was preparing himself for the inevitable battle. All of a sudden the temperature around him rose and ten feet in front of him the ground seemed to boil. Soon something bursted through the ground. It was a very large and seemingly very evil and ugly spider. A huge spider made from what seemed to be lava. Ranma knew what it was but that was impossible, it was supposed to be dead. But here it was one of the biggest and most dangerous demons Dante had ever fought. "PHANTOM!!"



See you next time.
