Chapter 2: Meet Inuyasha!
Ranma was eating dinner with the rest of the family. Occasionally knocking his father, now in panda form, out when he tried to steal his food. 'I wonder how long Akane is staying at that friend of hers house.' Ranma thought. 'Oh well I shouldn't worry about it she'll be back soon. I wonder why I feel weird with her away anyway.'
After dinner Ranma went back to the dojo but he couldn't stop thinking about Akane and how she was acting so weird this morning. Unable to stop thinking about her Ranma went into the kitchen where Kasumi was washing the dishes from dinner. "Yo Kasumi."
"Oh hi Ranma. I thought you went to the dojo to workout." Kasumi replied turning around in surprise.
"I decided ta take a break. Anyway I was wondering how long Akane plans to stay at her friend's house. She was acting weird this morning but hit me with her mallet before I could ask." Ranma said trying not to sound too interested.
"Oh she should be back tomorrow morning. She probably was acting weird because she hadn't seen Kagome in so long and she wasn't sure what to say when she saw her. I wouldn't worry if I were you." Kasumi said giving Ranma a wink.
"I wasn't worried about that un-cute tomboy." Ranma said in a defensive tone as Kasumi went back to washing dishes. Ranma went outside and jumped onto the roof. He didn't notice a figure standing outside in the shadows listening to the conversation.
As soon as Ranma hopped onto the roof the figure slowly walked away thinking to herself 'Airen worried about violent girl. Need to break it up. Wait...violent girl go on trip without Airen. Perfect time to break up violent girl and Airen.' Shampoo thought excitedly as she headed towards the Nekohaten.
Kagome, Akane, and Shippo all headed towards Kaede's village. When they got there they found Miroku talking to lots of young women from the village while Sango was watching with a furious expression on her face. "Hey Sango." Kagome called getting her friends attention.
"Hey Kagome. I thought you were staying longer and who is that?" Sango asked pointing to Akane.
"This is my childhood friend Akane. She accidentally fell into the well and since she was here I decided to introduce her to you guys." Kagome explained.
"Just keep her away from Mir..." Sango started to say but was drowned out by Akane screaming "PERVERT" and Miroku landing 20 feet away from her with a red hand print on his cheek. "...oku." Sango finished. "Too late now I guess."
"Miroku couldn't you see one woman without having to go and grope her!" Kagome screamed turning to talk to Akane. "Anyway I see you've met Miroku. He's a monk though you couldn't tell from how he acts."
"Yes we've met!" Akane said still fuming.
"Unfortunately yes. Anyway this is my friend Sango. She's a demon slayer. They hunt and destroy demons. Unfortunately all of her fellow demon slayers including her family were killed. That's why we are out to destroy the demon Naraku who is the one to kill Sango's family, put the wind tunnel in Miroku's hand, and tricked Inuyasha into fighting Kikyo." Kagome explained.
"So you all hunt down this demon named Naraku. Also who is Inuyasha? I haven't met him yet." Akane asked.
"Inuyasha will be back tomorrow if you want to stick around." Sango replied.
"Well I said I'd be back home tomorrow morning but I don't think it will be too much of a problem but I am not sleeping in the same room as the pervert, got it." Akane said as she glared at Miroku.
"Great! And don't worry we won't let Miroku near you." Kagome said as she gave Miroku a warning glare.
Miroku opened his mouth to defend himself but founds words futile against Akane, Kagome, and Sango. Eventually he just walked away in defeat.
Ranma awoke the next morning when her panda of a father dumped a bucket of cold water on her head. "What'd ya do that for Pops?" Genma held up a sign saying 'Your fiancée is coming back today. You have to go meet her at the train station.' "Whatever..." Ranma muttered, finally getting out of her bed.
Ranma waited at the station for 3 hours waiting for Akane to get there and finally left to go back to the house. As Ranma arrived at the dojo his father looked up from where he was playing shogi with Soun and saw an extremely angry Ranma glaring at him. "I waited for 3 hours Pops and she wasn't there!" Ranma yelled punching his father right into the koi pond. Ranma left and went to get a snack in the kitchen and found Kasumi pulling a tray of cookies out of the oven. "Those look great. Can I have one?"
"Sure Ranma just make sure to leave some for everyone else." Kasumi replied as Ranma started wolfing down the cookies. "Where is Akane, Ranma?" Kasumi asked noticing that she wasn't with him.
Ranma stopped wolfing down the cookies and said "She didn't show up at the train station and I have no clue why."
"Maybe you should go to Kagome's house and see if everything is alright." Kasumi said.
"Ok fine I'll go check Kasumi. But it ain't cus I'm worried about her." Ranma replied.
"Sure Ranma." Kasumi said with a hint of sarcasm that Ranma didn't pick up. "Here is Kagome's address. There is a train that goes to a station close to her house."
"Akane wake up." Kagome said as she nudged her friend trying to wake her up.
"Ranma I don't want to wake up this early." Akane mumbled as she rolled over.
'Boy is she a deep sleeper. I guess I'll have to try other methods. And who is Ranma. Akane never mentioned him while we were talking yet he has to be pretty important to her if she talks about him in her sleep.' Kagome thought as she went and filled a bucket with water and walked back into where her friend was sleeping and poured the bucket of cold water on Akane.
"Ranma no baka." Akane yelled springing up from where she was sleeping. "Oh Kagome." She said remembering where was and that Ranma wasn't even in this time. 'Damn. Now I mentioned Ranma and she's going to ask me who he is.'
"Sorry I had to use the cold water to wake you up but you were sleeping pretty deeply and this was the only other way I could think of waking you up. Anyway why don't you get changed and then come outside." Kagome said walking out.
'I sure am glad we went back to our time and got extra clothes to change into last night.' Akane thought as she walked out. Akane found where Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were eating and walked over to join them.
"Hi Akane how was your night sleep." Sango asked.
"Fine." Akane answered. "Where is that Inuyasha person? I said to my family I'd be home this morning and was hoping to leave after I met him."
"He's still not here. He should come back soon though." Kagome replied. "Akane, this morning you were talking in your sleep and you mentioned someone named Ranma twice. I was just wondering who he is."
"He's my fiancé." Akane said as Kagome gasped. "I didn't mention him because he's a jerk and the only reason I am engaged to him is because our parents made an agreement before we were born. Besides that he has two other fiancés, well three if you count Kodachi, and he's always insulting me."
"Wow that's horrible." Kagome replied, but she knew from knowing Akane for years that Akane really cared about Ranma no matter how much of a jerk she said he was. "Well Akane can you stay a little longer since Inuyasha isn't here yet. I really wanted you to meet him."
"Ok I can stay a little longer but just until he arrives then I'm going back." Akane said. 'It's not like Ranma misses me.'
'This is it, the home of Kagome Higurashi.' Ranma thought as he knocked on the front door. A young boy opened the door.
"Hello, who are you." He asked.
"My name is Ranma Saotome. My friend Akane said she'd be staying here with her friend Kagome but was supposed to be home this morning." Ranma said.
"My name is Sota. I'm Kagome's brother." He said. "Kagome and Akane are not here right now. They probably went down the well."
"Huh. They went to the bottom of a well. That's weird." Ranma said. "Where is the well and why'd they go down it."
"Well it's complicated but the well takes you back in time to feudal Japan." Sota said looking up to see a shocked Ranma staring at him. "I can take you to the well."
Ranma regained his composure and said "Yeah sure take me to the well. I'm not sure I believe ya but weirder things have happened to me before."
"Ok. Just follow me." Sota said running toward the shrine.
Ranma followed Sota to the well and looked down it. "Are ya lying to me kid? This looks like an ordinary old well." Ranma said.
"I'm not lying. If you really want to prove me wrong why don't you jump down and try." Sota shouted.
"Ok but I'm only doing this cus I never turn down a challenge." Ranma said jumping into the well.
"Kagome, Inuyasha is here." Sango shouted from pretty far away, making the girls look up from where they were talking.
"Let's go, Akane." Kagome said as she got up quickly and dragged her friend over to where Sango had been shouting from.
'I wonder what this Inuyasha is like.' Akane thought as they neared the village. After they entered the village Akane saw a boy with long silver hair. At first glance she thought he was a normal boy but then she saw the doggy ears on his head and noticed his sharp claws. "Is that Inuyasha?" Akane asked Kagome in a hushed voice.
"Yup. That's him." Kagome replied.
"But he doesn't look very human." Akane said.
"That's cus I'm not." The boy said as the girls walked up.
'How did he hear me?' Akane thought. Instead she asked "If you're not human, what are you?"
"He's a half demon." Kagome replied.
"I thought you guys fight demons though. If so then why are you teamed up with one?" Akane asked with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Feh. I'm only here so that we can collect the jewel shards. Then I can steal the jewel and use it to become a full demon." Inuyasha said with his nose in the air.
"Sit." Kagome commanded as Inuyasha smashed into the ground. "See. There is no way he can steal the jewel from me because all I have to do is say the word sit..." Inuyasha smashed into the ground again "...and Inuyasha can be subdued." Kagome said to Akane putting emphasis behind the second sit. "Oh, sorry Inuyasha." Kagome said in a fake sympathetic tone.
"How did you do that?" Akane asked
"It's the necklace around his neck. Every time I use the "s" word he can be subdued." Kagome replied.
Inuyasha stood up. "And I can't take the damn thing off." Inuyasha said trying to take the necklace off to no avail.
"That's cool. If I only I could do that to Ranma." Akane said giggling.
"Ha. You'd never be able to put that thing on my head." Said a voice from behind them.
Akane swerved around recognizing the voice. "RANMA!"
Sorry it took me so long to load this chapter. I have been really busy. I'll try not to take so long next time. Thanks to all who reviewed.
Amasaki Reyoko: Thanks. It has to start off a little slow so I can set the setting so expect it to get better.
K-Dog the Fire Beast: Thanks a lot for the support. I am happy with how I did the first chapter. Unfortunately I have this fear like I'm going to screw up a good story and that I'm not a very good writer so your support means a lot.
Gennie Kag's and Sess's Child: I hope it stays interesting. I've got some pretty good ideas about how to have Ranma and Akane both go to feudal Japan but still have the idea of a Ranma fan fiction. Wait for some good surprises.
Lita Kino/Sailor Jupiter: I can't believe I missed that mistake. I guess I didn't proof read it well enough. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll watch to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Jerry Unipeg: Thanks but expect it to get better.
cherrybloss9: Sorry I wasn't able to update very fast but here it is!
rickW22: Thanks and today lol!
MyImaginaryInuYasha: My idea of getting Ranma into the feudal era isn't ver imaginative but oh well. I like the idea two. These are 2 of my favorite anime series.
Baron Hausenpheffer: I understand the basic concept is similar but once we get more in depth their will be differences. I hope I can keep the characters in character so thank you. I don't hink it'll be that long but it's possible.
Dagorwen of Ithilien: Sorry but I am an Inuyasha/Kagome, Ranma/Akane, and Sango/Miroku fan so it will probably be like that.
Next Chapter: Face off Ranma vs. Inuyasha
