************ Ranma : Demonic Lifestyle ************

Genma was sitting in the living room of the Tendo household, sipping on a cup of green tea while playing a game of Shogi with his friend "I couldn't believe my eyes Tendo. The boy attacked me for trying to teach him the art!" What he failed to mention is the cat fist techniques that he was trying to force onto Ranma "That ingrate boy of mine just up and attacked me for no reason, and knocked me into the Spring of drowned panda!"

Shaking his head in dismay, Soun started to cry "Saotome! HOW sad it is to have such a cowardly son!" He hugged Genma tightly "Don't worry my friend, you can stay here for as long as you need!"

Smiling to himself, Genma patted himself on the back for his great acting job "Oh Tendo! What bliss it is to have such a friend as yourself!"

***** China, Joketsu *****

Ranma danced around blows from the warrior he was fighting. He smiled as he folded his arms across his chest, taunting his opponent who was currently breathing hard. Ranma chuckled to himself and bowed to her "I see you are quite skilled, Khu Lohn"

She caught her breath slightly before smiling to him "That's quite the honor coming from one like yourself, Ranma" Ranma raised an eyebrow at her, and smirked when she grimaced "Ranma-Sensei"

Shrugging his shoulders, Ranma smiled carelessly "Your the one who wanted to 'teach' me a thing or two. It was also your idea to bet on the outcome, what can I say other than, wake up at five o'clock in the morning tomorrow. Oh yes, and bring a pair of cruddy clothes, they are going to get destroyed in my wake" he gave her a chuckle and a dark grin, making her shudder.

She nodded her head and bowed to Ranma "Very well Ranma-Sensei" she then turned toward a tree behind her and chuckled "Pea Par! You can come out now" She smiled when a blushing Pea Par came out from a large oak tree that was behind them "I bet you didn't know she was there, huh Ranma?" She gave him one of her best arrogant smirks, which was shut down when Ranma laughed out loud.

Smiling at her, Ranma bowed and pointed to various places around the clearing "There's Li Mea, there's Si Elk, and there's Pu Fume" They all came out from behind the bushes, making Khu Lohn blush "What's the matter, wasn't paying attention to your surroundings? Tsk tsk, is this the best this village has to offer?"

Before any of the women could say anything, a scout came running into the clearing /Elder!\ She collapsed to the ground in a heap, bleeding profusely from open wounds /E-Elder! The Musk are attacking the village!\

Khu Lohn's face went pale as she pointed to Pu Fume /Take care of the scout, me and Ranma will go ahead and take care of the musk!\ She then looked toward Ranma, who was looking at her intensely "T-That is,.. if it's okay with you?"

Chuckling despite himself, Ranma nodded "It's the least I could do since you people put me up for the past week" He nodded as his aura burned, and his trench coat burned around his body. His eyes flashed dangerously as his sword burst into existence on his back. He nodded once again to Khu Lohn as he ran toward the village, leaving her behind in a wake of dust. She didn't start moving until she broke free from her trance, that the power Ranma gave off, left her in. He arrived first and surveyed the area, much to his disgust. Littered across the ground were bloodied corpses, that were horribly dismembered. Snarling to himself as Khu Lohn paced to his side "This is not the Musk's doing,,.... there are Troglodyte's in the area!"

Khu Lohn shuddered despite herself trying to hold an image "The ones that can only be destroyed by another demon" She shuddered once again when Ranma laughed darkly, and bared slight fangs "I see,.... I will try to get the villager's out"

Ranma shook his head as he pulled the sword from his sheath "There's no time, if I don't get there first, then they are already dead. Just get back to the clearing and gather the remaining ones that escaped." Khu Lohn was about to say something else when Ranma glared at her "DO YOU WANT TO DIE TOO!" She flinched back as she turned away and started to run "I'm sorry Khu Lohn,... but I've lost someone close to these bastards,... I don't want to lose my friends too" Khu Lohn nodded her head slightly as she continued down the path. Ranma chuckled and let his aura roll across the village, alerting the Troglodyte's to their next prey. Of course, since they were mindless, they would come after him first. Seeing how he was the better target. He wasn't disappointed when several pools of red appeared around him, and lifeless bodies rose up like marionettes. He jumped into the air as one of them sliced toward him, and he decided to end it quickly. Gripping his sword, he started to twirl it in a large circle, while falling from the air. When Ranma was right above the demons he sneered "Dandridge ; Cyclone CUTTER!" the torrents of wind, that the sword was cutting, were sent toward the monsters as they were tore limb from limb in a tornado like vacuum. Ranma looked around at his handy work, and chuckled, but quickly sobered when he realized there were only four Troglodytes *They couldn't have caused this mess by themselves,.... but who?* He started to walk through the village when he heard a crying voice ring from a nearby hut "Is anybody there!?!"

Sniffling answered his question as a voice called out "A-Are they gone?"

Ranma raised his eyebrow at the young sounding voice "Yes, I got rid of them all,... can you come out for me?" He watched the hut in a ready stance, his hand on the hilt of the powerful sword. He was shocked to see a beautiful girl around his age with purple flowing hair, wearing blood splattered clothes "Are you okay?"

She looked at him and immediately recognized him, and ran toward him, hugging him tightly "Ranma!" She started to cry as the days events played through her head /first they kill family, friends and everyone. Then Mu Tsu tried to protect me, and he died! T-Then,... Then I hid\ she looked away from him in embarrassment and surprise that she was telling him this.

Ranma nodded his head and embraced her gently / I understand,... It's going to be okay. Khu Lohn and a few of the others are safe away from here. I took down the Troglodyte's that were attacking the village \ He nodded a bit when the girl smiled a little, knowing her friends were okay / You must be Xian Pu, huh? \

She flinched back and nodded timidly / I am Xian Pu,... how do you know me? \

Smiling sadly, Ranma patted her head affectionately / I've heard all sorts of stuff from Khu Lohn \ Xian Pu blushes brightly and gives an almost whining moan. Ranma on the other hand became as as stiff as a board before grabbing Xian Pu and jumping to the side as a clawed hand burst from the hut behind him.

The hand was connected to a goat looking monster, who was shocked for a second before laughing "Congratulations,... you sensed my presence,... but that didn't stop me from inflicting pain on you!" he pulled his arm back as it dripped with blood, making Ranma growl slightly. Xian Pu gasped when she was grabbed, but now was shocked when there was blood gushing from his shoulder. Ranma screamed in pain as he felt the fibers of his flesh being stretched by the large fist. Xian Pu watched in fear as the monster tore into her savior, before flinching when the monster sneered at her "Hold your horses lady, I'll deal with you after I kill this sorry excuse for a demon" The demon gripped her by the leg and swung her around, throwing her like a rag doll through the nearby hut.

Ranma saw this and got enraged, his eyes flaring a blood red that couldn't be denied the power of his heritage "YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" the goat man turned toward him and nearly fell down as Ranma's body stretched a foot, gained a black and red armor like coating, and sprouted wings of pitch black "I'LL KILL YOU!" he jumped into the air and flapped his wings, getting a steadiness for the air currents, before he brought his arm up and charged it with electrical energy. Rain started to fall in the land of the Joketsu, as Ranma's power called on the dormant weather. With speed unmatched, he burst forward and slammed the electrified fist through the goat's chest as it exploded from the backside. Ranma grinned at the goat "Take this message to your leader ; I won't be stopped" he then burned his power trough his arm, creating a wave of electricity that burnt the corpse to a crisp.

He heard some voices, and turned toward them to see Khu Lohn and her group staring at him in surprise before she stepped forward "R-Ranma? Is this your true form?"

Shaking his head in sadness, Ranma sighed "This is my demonic form. When I hit an plateau with anger, sadness, or flood myself with power. I will transform to this form to convert it to energy. This is the true curse of Sparda's offspring." With that said, Ranma bowed slightly before taking to the sky, flying toward Japan. Not realizing that his form doesn't bother them, but the power he has does. He flapped his wings fast and hard, crossing the sea of China in a matter of minutes, being a blur to anything that could've even tried to see him.

*** Masaki Shrine ***

A small girl went about her business in the kitchen, as she prepared the breakfast for the family. With a sigh, she put down the spoon and rested her head on the table. The little girl in question, had wise eyes that were brimming with unshed tears as she recalled the night before *Why,.. why did Tenchi choose Ryoko and Ayeka over me?!?! Was it because I'm actually dead,... or was it because me and Tsunami finally merged?* She felt a twitch in the back of her mind, but quickly pushed it away as the tears renewed. She failed to realize that shadows through the house, began to shift and transform into monstrous creatures made of pure evil. Sasami sighed as she laid her head on the table, her tears pooling in her arms. She sniffled slightly before sitting up and looking around the room when she heard something *That's weird,.... Katsuhito-san and Washu-Chan aren't due back from Tokyo for another two days* Her thoughts then wondered onto 'OTHER' thoughts, as she began to shake with fear *W-What if it's,.... the repo-men? Did Katsuhito forget to pay the rent!?!* She quickly brought her hand to cover her mouth when a bloodied corpse of a monster walked in through the opening. Almost to the point of crying, Sasami shook with fear.

As the bloody monster waltzed toward the frozen Sasami, Ranma walked through the back door "Excuse me,...." he looked at the girl and then at the demon, who was starting to take steps back when he saw the son of Dante "What's up?" He walked over to the little girl and offered a small smile "Are you okay?"

Momentarily forgetting about the monster, Sasami looked over at Ranma in confusion "What?" She blinked for a second before smiling "Oh yes, I'm fine." When she finally took in Ranma's features, her heart started to beat wildly as both Tsunami and Sasami felt the need to blush. Ranma smiled at her when he noticed her blush, then he turned back toward the monster.

When she noticed him walking toward the creature, she became so worried that she was afraid she would die "No! Don't go near it! Please!" Ranma stopped and looked at the girl in confusion, and tried to hold back the awe as the once little girl, shifted and transformed into a tall and beautiful blue haired woman. To Ranma, she seemed to be reeking of divinity, but he quietly kept it to himself as she started toward him "Please,... allow me" Ranma nodded his head and stepped out of the way as Tsunami tapped into the light hawk wings slightly, as a blade of light appeared before her. Grasping the energy, she dashed toward the creature at speeds that even Ranma found hard to follow. Within the span of a second, the creature had been thoroughly destroyed and she was staring at him appraisingly "Now,... since that problem has been taken care of, care to explain what a demon is doing on holy ground?"

Blinking in surprise, he chuckled before noticing that he inadvertently switched to his demonic form when she activated her own powers "Um,... well for starters, my name is Ranma." Seeing her eyebrow raise slightly he smiled "Dante's son. The son of the son of Sparda I've been called before" seeing her tense up, Ranma nervously tapped into his powers and readied a teleportation spell *I could be wrong about her, but I don't think she is powering up*

Tsunami eyed Ranma up and down before letting out a longing sigh, making Ranma's neck hair stand on end "Well then Ranma, son of the son of Sparda. It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Tsunami Jurai" Seeing Ranma react by relaxing and letting out a breath of relief, she smiled "Did you hear of me before?"

Shaking his head, Ranma allowed himself to fall back into a nearby chair "No, I've never heard that name before. Although I've heard of Jurai. Is it true they are among the most powerful beings in this dimension?"

Bringing a finger up to her chin, she gave a small pout as she started thinking, making Ranma blush "I suppose so, although there are many half-demons that could be stronger than any Juraian. But without the proper training, and the born ability to control the light hawk wings, I don't see that happening." She looked at Ranma and for the first time, noticed the Juraian potential and she almost fell over "W-What was your name again?"

Ranma blinked for a second before looking at Tsunami "Ranma,... I don't have a last name anymore. I used to be Ranma Saotome, heir to the school of anything goes martial arts. However, I don't call myself that anymore because of that idiotic Genma" He looked at Tsunami and noticed that she was wide eyed and blushing at the same time.

Tsunami stared at him, her eyes wide and a blush adorning her cheeks *H-He's the son of Nodoka Misaki,.... that means that he has the power of Jurai.* Her smile widened and went into a full blown grin *That means he won't grow old so fast,..... It seems to me that I found my avatar* She blinked once then turned away *What am I thinking,..... Tenchi just got married, and left me here for Jurai,... do I want to make another person that would do the same?* Tsunami seemed to sulk away into the kitchen as Ranma sat there stunned at what just happened. He got out of the chair and walked toward her, a worried expression on his face. Then without even turning around, Tsunami let her voice out "Ranma,... what's your goal in life? What is it that you want to do, more than anything else?"

Ranma blushed for a moment before letting out a depressed sigh "I once wanted to be the best, but now that I am, I feel empty. I guess I will just use my powers and help those who can't help themselves" He was rather shocked when Tsunami turned around, tears running down her eyes "I-Is that wrong?"

Tsunami smiled gently, making her look like a 'goddess' as he she brought her hand up and pushed away the tears "No,... you just remind me so much of,.. 'HIM'" she smiled sadly once more, which to Ranma just seemed wrong on her face "Tenchi Misaki is his name,... he was once a normal kid who just wanted to grow up. Then he found out about his Juraian heritage, and was forced to take the throne. When he was called back to Jurai, he was ordered to take two wives." She sobbed quietly, which caught in her throat as the tears started again "He chose Ayeka and Ryoko,.... and blamed me for everything" by this time, she was crying full force as she pushed herself into Ranma's arms, looking for warmth and comfort.

Ranma let out a sigh as he pulled her away and looked her in the eyes "If he blames you, then he is just running away. There is nothing to blame. If he was just playing ignorant, it still would have caught up with him. You just warned him and gave the power to protect himself, and for that, he can't blame you."
