Chapter sixteen
Ranma looked at Recca and saw him standing there a grin on his face. I don't know what he's up to but I'll find out soon enough. Here I come kid.
The only indication Recca got that Ranma was going to move was the look in his eyes. They widened just before he moved. Knowing that he would not have a long time to react he set his own plan in motion. His hand moved writing the required Kanji in the air. "Come on out.."
Ranma saw the movement and he thought that Recca was going to use Nadare again so he increased his speed. He did not want to give Recca a chance to use Nadare again.
"Saiha." With those words the fire katana was formed on his right arm.
Ranma heard Recca and knew that he had fallen for it. As he came closer he saw the fire katana and he swallowed. If that thing hit it would hurt but no pain no gain. He did not have long to react, he decided to get in close and evade the attack so that he then would be able to attack Recca in close quarters.
Recca hoped that Ranma would do as he predicted, when Ranma was close enough he attacked, or better yet he made his faint. Ranma reacted just as he had hoped he would, he jumped out of the way. The second Ranma jumped Recca dismissed Saiha and pulled out Homura. "Come on out Homura!!" The flame whip appeared and he swung it at Ranma. He managed to snag Ranma's leg and then with all his strength he swung him towards the ground.
Ranma felt the whip wrap around his leg and he cursed himself not expecting this. He had to admit that this Recca was a very good fighter. However he did not have long to react as he was slammed into the ground. He struck the ground with enough force to crack it. Oof this hurts, I'll give him what he wants. He earned it, there aren't many people who would be able to do this to me.
Recca smiled as Ranma slammed into the ground he knew that this wouldn't kill him but he was sure that it hurt. He kept Homura wrapped around Ranma's leg and waited. Sure he had a chance to gain somewhat of an advantage in the fight but he wanted to see how Ranma would react. He saw Ranma slowly getting up and when he was up he reached down to take hold of the whip. What the hell is he doing, this will only hurt him more? As soon as Ranma touched the whip Recca felt an unknown energy flowing through it. What happened then shocked him, Ranma after taking hold of the whip yanked it and the whip snapped. He then saw Ranma look at him and when he saw his eyes he knew that he was going to get what he wanted.
"Recca I'm impressed there aren't many people to fight me like you did. I will give you what you want. Get ready because this is going to hurt, a lot."
Recca swallowed hard and nodded his head, he had asked for this so now he would take it head on.
After Recca had left the room Kagero waited for about 15 minutes before she decided to find out where he had gone. She had left the room and went to look for Recca. Eventually she exited the building and when she looked at the sky she saw what seemed to light flashes. Those explosions reminded her of something. As she went in the direction of the explosions it hit her. Those explosions reminded her of Nadare's fireballs exploding. She had an idea of what Recca was up to so she increased her pace and soon she was running all out. She arrived just in time to see Recca slam Ranma into the ground. She just stood there staring at the two teenagers fighting. She saw Ranma reach down and snap the whip with his bare hands. "Who is this boy, if the explosions are any indication then this Ranma is able to fight Recca as an equal. She then felt a very powerful aura coming from Ranma and she knew that he was going to attack. Then Ranma moved with the same speed as she had witnessed in his fight against Kukai.
Recca blinked when Ranma moved, he saw him running towards him and he prepared for a counter attack. Calling upon Nadare again he attacked Ranma with the fireballs before he came to close. He expected Ranma to dodge but instead he crossed his arms in front of his body and took it head on. The fireballs exploded on impact but did no damage. Then Ranma jumped and Recca was unable to follow him.
He caught sight just before Ranma landed, Recca stepped aside and Ranma slammed into the ground. Just before Ranma hit the ground he heard him yell something. "INFERNO!!"
What happened then shocked both Recca and his mother. When Ranma landed he slammed his fist into the ground and then something happened that they did not believe. From where Ranma landed the ground seemed to ripple and then explode and it spread so fast that Recca did not have time to dodge and he was thrown into the air by the explosion. He could feel the hear of the fire and even though he was used to heat due to his own powers he still felt the searing heat of this attack. Recca landed almost 25 meters from where he stood, unable to get up. He shook his head to get rid of the stars floating around his head. He then saw his mother running towards him. "Recca, are you okay?" She stopped next to him and helped him to his feet. Even though Recca managed to get up the world was still spinning.
"I'm fine, I just didn't expect that attack but now I know that there was more to Ranma then we first thought." Looking around for Ranma he saw him walking in his direction, a smile on his face.
"You okay?"
"Yeah just didn't expect that, what was that attack and how did you pull it off?"
"It's called inferno and when I use it I hit the ground and channel some power into the ground, depending on how much power I use the explosion radius and strength vary. As to how I am able to use, let's just say that I am able to control fire."
"Okay but how is it possible that you can control fire and generate such power?" This time it was Kagero who asked a question. She knew of a Madougu that could create and control fire but this was beyond that Madougu's power.
"Let's just say that it's due to something happening to me when I was young." Ranma then took a closer look at the older lady in front of him and what he felt surprised him. "Heh what do you know, I thought that you where a middle-aged lady but it seems that you are a very old lady. Looks like we both have secrets."
"I'm not a very old lady, how old do I look."
"You look like you in your twenties but judging by your aura you are a few centuries old. I can say that you are the oldest human I have ever met."
"Ah uhm well.." Kagero was taken back by Ranma's words, she had never thought that he would be able to read her aura.
Recca decided there and then to tell Ranma of what had happened to his mother and where he was originally from. "Ranma would you like to come to our room, I will tell you as to why we are here and how my mother became so old that is if you are also willing to tell us why you are here and how you are able to control fire?"
"I don't know, I mean I like to know more about you guys but I don't feel very comfortable talking about myself. Most people wouldn't believe me anyway."
"I understand but still I would like to know more about our new team member and the only way to do that is to talk. Don't worry we have heard many strange things and it won't be easy to surprise us. What do you say?"
"Well okay. But believe me that what I will tell you is the truth."
"Okay, when we get to the room we will tell you about all of us, I'm sure that ka-chan wants to know more about you." Then Recca, still supported by his mother and Ranma made their way back to the hotel.
As they entered the room everyone got up when they saw Recca, slightly burned and bruised. The first one at his side was Yanagi. "Recca-kun, what happened? Are you okay?"
Recca made his way to the couch and sat down. "He is what happened to me." Recca said pointing at the door.
When everyone looked in that direction they saw Ranma standing there. "Hey." Before Ranma knew what was happening he found himself face to face with a big guy with a mohawk haircut and a young girl with some sharp looking needles in her hand standing behind him. Ranma tried to speak but he was lifted into the air by the big guy.
Kagero was about to interfere but was stopped by Recca. He then understood what he was doing, he wanted to see how Ranma would react in a situation like this.
"What did you do to Recca? I knew form the moment I saw you that you where trouble and now that you messed up Recca I know." Domon lifted Ranma further into the air and stepped back into the room still holding Ranma up in the air.
Ranma glanced at Recca, who in his turned shrugged. "In don't know what you think punky but I suggest you let me down. Recca invited me here. I don't think that this is the way you should treat a guest." Ranma had an idea of what Recca was up to and he decided to play along.
"Yeah sure, I bet you are one of Kurei's goons here to prevent us from reaching the final."
Ranma sighed and took hold of Domon's wrists and with a tone in his voice that left no doubt of his words. "I will tell this one time, I do NOT work for Kurei. As a matter of fact I am here to kick his sorry as so hard he will be spitting shit for a month." As he spoke Ranma began to increase the pressure on Domon's wrists. "Believe me if I had a choice I would never have been here, I have other things I would rather do but that fucker didn't leave me any choice."
Domon felt Ranma squeeze his wrists and smiled, there was no way that this boy was stronger then him.
Fuko saw that Ranma was beginning to squeeze Domon's wrists and she also smiled. "I don't think that that will work, you have no idea how strong Domon is so you'd better stop that and tell us the real reason why you are here. If you don't Domon will have to persuade you to tell us."
"Humph, I already told you why I am here and I truly believe it's not polite to treat a guest like this so I think it's time to put me down." With those words Ranma squeezed Domon's wrists hard and he was released almost immediately.
Domon had felt the power in Ranma's grip and he was shocked, how could someone like him be so strong. He then saw that Fuko was about to react but stopped her. "Don't Fuko, I don't know why but I think that it would be bad to piss him off."
"Huh what do you mean? I can take him, no problem, he may be strong but he is nowhere near as fast as me."
Before Domon had a chance to answer Recca interrupted him. "You worked yourself out of that pretty nicely Ranma, please come in so we can have a talk. Everyone, you to Ranma, I'm sorry I used you to test Ranma some more. I wanted to see how he would react to your hostility and now I know. Please let him enter, I invited him here so we cold have a little chat and learn more about each other."
Not knowing what to say Domon and Fuko stepped aside to let Ranma enter. Ranma walked over to a chair and sat down. "Well it seems everyone is here, where should we start?
"Let me tell you a bit more about myself and as to why we are here after that you can tell us something about you. I have to warn you though, the story I'll tell you will sound very strange and it will be hard to believe."
"Don't worry about I have heard a lot of strange things in my life so begin."
"Very well. My name is Hanabishi Recca and I was born almost 500 years ago in a ninja village. Don't worry I'm not 500 years old. When I was but a few years old my mother used a forbidden technique to send me to the future. She did this in order to safe my life in a time of war. I don't remember anything about when I was young and in that village. When my mother send me to this time my half-brother, Kurei, followed me. Kurei followed me to kill me. When Kurei was born he was granted the powers of a flame master. This meant that he was able to control fire just like me. Normally there can be only one flame master so when they found out that I also had the same powers the wanted to kill Kurei because of his cursed character. My mother however prevented this and instead he and his mother where banished from our village. In time his mother grew ill and he tried to kill me so that he would become the flame master and that he and his mother would be able to live in our village again. He was unsuccessful but he gave me a nice scar. After that he was put in jail for the rest of his life but when our town was attacked he managed to escape and he went out to find me and kill me. He found me just when my mother send me to another time and he followed. When I came to this time in was found by a man who raised me as his own son. I grew up without knowing of my past and my true powers, I found out about my powers after my mother threatened to kill my Hime. At that point I found out that I was able to create fire and use it as a means to attack. Later my mother told me that she thought this the best way to awaken my powers."
"Hime? You have a princess?"
Kagero decided to get in the conversation "No Recca is referring to Yanagi- chan, Recca met her some time ago and saved her from some thugs and he was severely beaten. When Recca woke up he found all of his wounds gone and it seemed that Yanagi-chan had healed them. Then she saw a wounded dog lying on the street and she healed it and there and then Recca decided that he would become Yanagi-chans ninja and follow her every command."
"Ok I see and let me guess Yanagi-chan has some kind of healing powers and Kurei has threatened to take her from you guys unless you would fight in this tournament?"
Everyone in the room was silent, okay that wasn't exactly what had happened but it was pretty close. "No not exactly, Kurei did find out about Hime's powers and his father, don't worry he isn't his real father, ordered him to kidnap her. He wanted to see if he could use her powers to make himself immortal. When we found out all of us set out to rescue her. To make a long story short it was there that I found out that Kurei was my brother and about the flame dragons living within me. You see not only can I create fire I also have eight dragons of fire living within me. After a lot of practice I found out that I could control these dragons and this added to me becoming even stronger. After we got back from saving Hime we where contacted by Kurei again and he told us that we where invited to enter this tournament. We knew that if we refused he would try to kill us and take Him again so we are here to prevent that. But that isn't the only reason why we are here. You see when my mother used that technique to send me to the future she became immortal. We are also here to find a means of curing her and we hope that some of the Madougu's here can help us."
"Madougu's what are those?"
"Oh sorry you don't know about them, Madougu's are magical weapons created by my father's clan. They are very powerful and have many different abilities. We hope to find one that can help me to cure my mother. Also you might know that this is a very dangerous tournament, killing is allowed but we intend to beat everyone without killing them and if you fight in our team we want you to do the same. Well that was about it, that's my life in a very small nutshell. Now I would like to know some more about you and after telling us I have a feeling that the others will also tell something about themselves."
"I see, well I did tell you that I would tell something about myself so what do you want to know?"
"Tell me something more about your powers, I mean they resemble mine but still I have a feeling that they are different."
Hearing Recca talk about powers like his their eyes grew. "Huh what do you mean Recca, does he have the same powers as you? Is he also a flame master?"
"No I'm not a flame master but if someone would see my power it is imaginable that they think that I am like him. No mine powers are different, really different. Now before I go on I must have you word that no one will say a word to anyone about my powers. Also you will have to have an open mind when I tell you about myself. "
Kagero, now really getting interested answered for everyone in the room. "You have our word Ranma, now please go on."
"Okay, like Recca I am able to create fire and control it, thus using it as attacks and such. Where Recca's powers come from his father mine are completely different. You see my powers come from something beyond this dimension, they are demonic and I am part demon."
And so silence entered the room but not for long. "BWAHAHAHA, you are telling us that you have the powers of demons, as in demons and angels. Sure, and I am a vampire, there is no way that we....." All of sudden silence was once again part of the room but this time it was something completely different that caused the silence. Where Domon first thought it impossible that Ranma was part demon he was now beginning to think otherwise.
Ranma had expected this kind of reaction and he knew just how to convince them, yet this still pissed him off. He had listened to Recca's story without disbelieving it. Using his powers he surrounded himself by and aura of fire after standing up. But it wasn't the aura that surprised everyone the most. It where his eyes, they where pitch-black and small fires danced inside that darkness and when he spoke his voice was cold, colder then anyone had ever heard. "Trust me mohawk, if you had been a vampire I would have killed you the moment I saw you. I had a feeling that some of you would react like this so I hope this small display can convince you and if not, tough luck. Now I will make this very short, I am part demon and thus I have powers normal humans don't have. What those powers are I will not tell you, Recca has seen a small sample of them so ask him. The fire isn't the only thing that makes me different, because of my demon blood I have superhuman senses, this is what allowed me to sense that Recca's mother was older then she looked. Strength, speed and an ability to heal myself are other parts of the demon blood within my veins. Before everyone tell me that that was the way that I won the fight against Kukai I will tell you that in my fight against Kukai I hardly used my demon powers. When I fought him I used only my human powers. You see as a human I am also very strong and fast but what would you expect. I started with martial arts training when I was 6 years old and left on a journey to become the best martial artist in the world. I have seen and learned fighting styles most of you haven't ever heard of. If I had used my real power against Kukai he would have been dead. Sure I used some of my powers in the fight but I held back a lot. Now as to why I am here, let's just say that Kurei has stolen something that is very important to me. I intend to get it back no matter what but since you guys asked me not to kill anyone I will do just that but when I see Kurei I will not be able to guarantee his safety. As we progress through the tournament there is a chance that you will see more off my powers until then you will all just have to wait. Also I think that I have told you guys enough because I have a feeling that if I where to continue there will be more reactions like spiky over there. So I will see all of you tomorrow for the next round. Oh and Recca I have some contacts and I will ask around if they knew of a way to help your mother. I can somewhat imagine how you feel, I have lived most of my life thinking my mother was dead to only find out that she is a live and well. Goodnight." And so Ranma left the room without saying another word.
Everyone was without words and no one spoke until Mikagami looked at the spot where Ranma had been standing. Where Ranma had stood while he was surrounded by the aura of fire the tiles in the floor had partially melted away. Seeing that, everyone in the room was beginning to see that Ranma's words might hold truth. Looking at the time they decided to go to bed and get some sleep, tomorrow would be a busy day and Ranma's story would also make it a more complicated one to.
To be continued
Now I would like to ask you, the readers of this fic if I should transcribe the fighting scenes out of Flame of Recca to written scenes. I don't mind doin it but it will take a lot o' time since the fights are very graphical. Please let me know I need feedback on this before I post chapter 16 since then there will be some more fights so pretty pretty please let me know. Don't worry this will be the last time I ask since the next chapter will have more fights. For those of you who are interested in Flame of Recca you can download the mangas at: www.snoopycool.com. I'd do it if I where you, it's a nice manga with a pretty good story and great fights.

Not knowing what to say Domon and Fuko stepped aside to let Ranma enter. Ranma walked over to a chair and sat down. "Well it seems everyone is here, where should we start?
"Let me tell you a bit more about myself and as to why we are here after that you can tell us something about you. I have to warn you though, the story I'll tell you will sound very strange and it will be hard to believe."
"Don't worry about I have heard a lot of strange things in my life so begin."
"Very well. My name is Hanabishi Recca and I was born almost 500 years ago in a ninja village. Don't worry I'm not 500 years old. When I was but a few years old my mother used a forbidden technique to send me to the future. She did this in order to safe my life in a time of war. I don't remember anything about when I was young and in that village. When my mother send me to this time my half-brother, Kurei, followed me. Kurei followed me to kill me. When Kurei was born he was granted the powers of a flame master. This meant that he was able to control fire just like me. Normally there can be only one flame master so when they found out that I also had the same powers the wanted to kill Kurei because of his cursed character. My mother however prevented this and instead he and his mother where banished from our village. In time his mother grew ill and he tried to kill me so that he would become the flame master and that he and his mother would be able to live in our village again. He was unsuccessful but he gave me a nice scar. After that he was put in jail for the rest of his life but when our town was attacked he managed to escape and he went out to find me and kill me. He found me just when my mother send me to another time and he followed. When I came to this time in was found by a man who raised me as his own son. I grew up without knowing of my past and my true powers, I found out about my powers after my mother threatened to kill my Hime. At that point I found out that I was able to create fire and use it as a means to attack. Later my mother told me that she thought this the best way to awaken my powers."
"Hime? You have a princess?"
Kagero decided to get in the conversation "No Recca is referring to Yanagi- chan, Recca met her some time ago and saved her from some thugs and he was severely beaten. When Recca woke up he found all of his wounds gone and it seemed that Yanagi-chan had healed them. Then she saw a wounded dog lying on the street and she healed it and there and then Recca decided that he would become Yanagi-chans ninja and follow her every command."
"Ok I see and let me guess Yanagi-chan has some kind of healing powers and Kurei has threatened to take her from you guys unless you would fight in this tournament?"
Everyone in the room was silent, okay that wasn't exactly what had happened but it was pretty close. "No not exactly, Kurei did find out about Hime's powers and his father, don't worry he isn't his real father, ordered him to kidnap her. He wanted to see if he could use her powers to make himself immortal. When we found out all of us set out to rescue her. To make a long story short it was there that I found out that Kurei was my brother and about the flame dragons living within me. You see not only can I create fire I also have eight dragons of fire living within me. After a lot of practice I found out that I could control these dragons and this added to me becoming even stronger. After we got back from saving Hime we where contacted by Kurei again and he told us that we where invited to enter this tournament. We knew that if we refused he would try to kill us and take Him again so we are here to prevent that. But that isn't the only reason why we are here. You see when my mother used that technique to send me to the future she became immortal. We are also here to find a means of curing her and we hope that some of the Madougu's here can help us."
"Madougu's what are those?"
"Oh sorry you don't know about them, Madougu's are magical weapons created by my father's clan. They are very powerful and have many different abilities. We hope to find one that can help me to cure my mother. Also you might know that this is a very dangerous tournament, killing is allowed but we intend to beat everyone without killing them and if you fight in our team we want you to do the same. Well that was about it, that's my life in a very small nutshell. Now I would like to know some more about you and after telling us I have a feeling that the others will also tell something about themselves."
"I see, well I did tell you that I would tell something about myself so what do you want to know?"
"Tell me something more about your powers, I mean they resemble mine but still I have a feeling that they are different."
Hearing Recca talk about powers like his their eyes grew. "Huh what do you mean Recca, does he have the same powers as you? Is he also a flame master?"
"No I'm not a flame master but if someone would see my power it is imaginable that they think that I am like him. No mine powers are different, really different. Now before I go on I must have you word that no one will say a word to anyone about my powers. Also you will have to have an open mind when I tell you about myself. "
Kagero, now really getting interested answered for everyone in the room. "You have our word Ranma, now please go on."
"Okay, like Recca I am able to create fire and control it, thus using it as attacks and such. Where Recca's powers come from his father mine are completely different. You see my powers come from something beyond this dimension, they are demonic and I am part demon."
And so silence entered the room but not for long. "BWAHAHAHA, you are telling us that you have the powers of demons, as in demons and angels. Sure, and I am a vampire, there is no way that we....." All of sudden silence was once again part of the room but this time it was something completely different that caused the silence. Where Domon first thought it impossible that Ranma was part demon he was now beginning to think otherwise.
Ranma had expected this kind of reaction and he knew just how to convince them, yet this still pissed him off. He had listened to Recca's story without disbelieving it. Using his powers he surrounded himself by and aura of fire after standing up. But it wasn't the aura that surprised everyone the most. It where his eyes, they where pitch-black and small fires danced inside that darkness and when he spoke his voice was cold, colder then anyone had ever heard. "Trust me mohawk, if you had been a vampire I would have killed you the moment I saw you. I had a feeling that some of you would react like this so I hope this small display can convince you and if not, tough luck. Now I will make this very short, I am part demon and thus I have powers normal humans don't have. What those powers are I will not tell you, Recca has seen a small sample of them so ask him. The fire isn't the only thing that makes me different, because of my demon blood I have superhuman senses, this is what allowed me to sense that Recca's mother was older then she looked. Strength, speed and an ability to heal myself are other parts of the demon blood within my veins. Before everyone tell me that that was the way that I won the fight against Kukai I will tell you that in my fight against Kukai I hardly used my demon powers. When I fought him I used only my human powers. You see as a human I am also very strong and fast but what would you expect. I started with martial arts training when I was 6 years old and left on a journey to become the best martial artist in the world. I have seen and learned fighting styles most of you haven't ever heard of. If I had used my real power against Kukai he would have been dead. Sure I used some of my powers in the fight but I held back a lot. Now as to why I am here, let's just say that Kurei has stolen something that is very important to me. I intend to get it back no matter what but since you guys asked me not to kill anyone I will do just that but when I see Kurei I will not be able to guarantee his safety. As we progress through the tournament there is a chance that you will see more off my powers until then you will all just have to wait. Also I think that I have told you guys enough because I have a feeling that if I where to continue there will be more reactions like spiky over there. So I will see all of you tomorrow for the next round. Oh and Recca I have some contacts and I will ask around if they knew of a way to help your mother. I can somewhat imagine how you feel, I have lived most of my life thinking my mother was dead to only find out that she is a live and well. Goodnight." And so Ranma left the room without saying another word.
Everyone was without words and no one spoke until Mikagami looked at the spot where Ranma had been standing. Where Ranma had stood while he was surrounded by the aura of fire the tiles in the floor had partially melted away. Seeing that, everyone in the room was beginning to see that Ranma's words might hold truth. Looking at the time they decided to go to bed and get some sleep, tomorrow would be a busy day and Ranma's story would also make it a more complicated one to.
To be continued
Now I would like to ask you, the readers of this fic if I should transcribe the fighting scenes out of Flame of Recca to written scenes. I don't mind doin it but it will take a lot o' time since the fights are very graphical. Please let me know I need feedback on this before I post chapter 16 since then there will be some more fights so pretty pretty please let me know. Don't worry this will be the last time I ask since the next chapter will have more fights. For those of you who are interested in Flame of Recca you can download the mangas at: www.snoopycool.com. I'd do it if I where you, it's a nice manga with a pretty good story and great fights.
