Big Trouble in Sengoku Jidai
Episode 4—
Inuyasha Vs Ranma, Place Your Bets!
Ranma-Chan and P-Chan came across a hot spring, yes the fates were helping them for once. They both jumped into it without a moment's notice. Both Ryouga and Ranma resurfaced taking in a large breath of air.
"Ugh! I was almost dinner!" Ryouga squeezed his fingers together making tense fists and turned to Ranma. "This is all your fault, Ranma!"
"Mine?" Ranma pointed at himself. "How is this my fault? You're the one who ran off and got lost."
Ryouga growled. "Yeah well if it weren't for you knocking me into that cursed spring I wouldn't be turning into a pig every time I meet cold water."
The bushes wrestled wildly and both boys turned to see what was coming out of them ready to fight if necessary. They both relaxed when Akane came through, she looked a bit peeved.
"Just what are you two doing? Ranma why didn't you say you found Ryouga? Why are you two relaxing in a hot spring when we have been worried sick about you Ryouga!?" She shouted at him
Ryouga immediately stood, forgetting one very important thing. "Akane, let me explain."
Akane's eyes immediately widened as she stared, redness forming on her cheeks. After regaining her senses she immediately turned around covering her face with her hands. "Ryouga, um… Oh my God!"
"Huh?" Ryouga looked down and shrieked plunging down under the water. "That was way, way embarrassing! She saw me naked!!" He shouted into the water. He could see Ranma's hand clutched hard and he resurfaced.
Without words and with a tense hand Ranma lifted his arm and pointed to Ryouga's clothes on the ground. He watched as Ryouga quickly stepped out of the spring and started getting dressed, he looked back at Ranma who looked ready to kill him. Ranma also stepped out of the spring and he was suddenly glomped hard from behind.
"Ranma, Shampoo find you." Shampoo giggled holding on to him.
"Shampoo!" Mousse said from behind her. "Saotome get your paws off my Shampoo!"
Ranma was struggling as Shampoo continued to coo and hold onto him tightly rubbing against his back.
"Oh Airen," Shampoo breathed out seductively.
"Hey! Get off me!" Ranma shouted.
All three of them heard a low growl and turned to find Akane, her anger aura was glowing bright red as she stared at Shampoo and Ranma.
"RANMA!" She stepped forward.
"Akane, wait." He fell backwards as did Shampoo.
She continued towards them as Ranma finally pushed Shampoo away from him, he got to his feet. "Ranma you pervert." She was about to strike, when Mousse grabbed onto her from behind.
"Oh Shampoo." He hugged her tightly from behind, his glasses on the top of his forehead.
Akane immediately turned around. "Who you callin' Shampoo?!"
"Huh?" Mousse pulled his glasses down. "Oh if it isn't Akane."
"Let go of me!" She growled and Mousse jumped away from her.
Ranma stepped closer to her. "Uh Akane?" Without warning her hand shot up and slapped him.
"Leave me alone Ranma." She hung her head.
He was about to protest when the rest of their group came through the brush, Soun was by his daughter's side in an instant.
"Akane, thank goodness you're safe."
"I'm safe Dad, we found Ryouga anyway." Her cheeks flamed she didn't see Ranma's eyes narrow at her comment.
Soun turned around to find Ryouga who had stood quiet this whole time and nodded. "Its good to see nothing has happened to him."
Ranma grumbled. "Yeah, not yet." He threw a threatening look in Ryouga's direction who rubbed the back of his neck nervously while making and uncomfortable laughing noise. They were soon joined by the rest of their group, as Ryouga pulled on his backpack, they started heading away from the hot spring.
There was a quick blur of white, everyone took a quick look around them in case something was going to jump out and attack them. But nothing happened, yet the woods were eerily quiet, not even the chirping of a cricket was heard
"Sao—Saotome, did you see that?"
"Yes I did, Tendou."
Akane saw her father and Genma stand back to back. "It was probably just an animal, honestly, you two."
"What do you think Saotome?" Soun looked around, in all directions. "Something strange is going on in these woods, something like…" he couldn't say it, it was just too frightening.
Genma's eyes narrowed in thought behind his glasses. "Yeah…ghosts."
"Fear not elder Saotome and dear Akane Tendou's mighty father, no ghosts shall get the better of Tatewake Kuno." Kuno held his bokken up proudly into the air. "I shall defend thee." He took his fighting stance. "Have at thee fierce spirits from beyond the grave."
"Kuno, you're being ridiculous. You are wasting your time, really there are no ghosts. Not that I can see anyway. So just relax." Akane said then her eyes narrowed as Kuno stepped forward and clasped Akane's hand in between both of his.
"Ah yes, my beloved, dear sweet Akane Tendou, you fear for my safety. But fear not my fair one, no harm shall come to me. For I am the Blue Thunder of Furinkin High, nothing can defeat me." He pulled her close and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Your concern for this mighty warrior even softens the strongest of hearts."
Akane was shaking with anger, why was he always doing this?! While pulling her fist back, she noticed Ranma was doing the same thing. So they both at the same time threw their fists into Kuno's face sending him airborne.
"Master Kuno!" Sasuke ran off in the direction Kuno flew. "Wait for me master Kuno."
"Imagine him being attracted to an uncute, tomboy like you." Ranma growled, glaring up at Kuno's figure high in the sky. He didn't know if he could take much more of this, if it was Kuno always trying to lay his hands on Akane, it was Ryouga always trying to snuggle into her while in his pig form, and now that she had seen his rival in the buff, which irritated him to no end. He felt the urge to hit something and Kuno was definitely a good thing to smack around.
"Ranma, you're such a jerk!" Akane shouted at him. "So what if I'm uncute, it doesn't matter!"
"You're right it doesn't! You can stare at Ryouga naked all you want. I don't care!"
Akane clinched her fists and stomped her foot, he was being completely unreasonable, it wasn't her fault that she saw Ryouga naked, he shouldn't have even been naked to begin with. "I can't believe you're being so jealous!"
"Jealous! Over you? Ha!"
Finally getting a handle on her anger, Akane tilted her head a bit looking away from Ranma. "Fine then, you won't mind if I do it right now."
Ryouga's face heated.
"What?!" Ranma growled. "You ain't lookin' at anyone naked, especially Ryouga!" Just the thought of Akane looking at anyone naked well that is…anyone except him made him see red.
"Oh and why not? You said you didn't care if I did." She crossed her arms over her bosom, then lifting her fingers up, glancing at her fingernails.
Ranma glared hard at her but he couldn't tell her the truth, she would take it the wrong way and call him a pervert or something. He also couldn't think up a good excuse either. "Uh…because you got no reason to go around seein' a guy naked, that's why."
"That's not a good enough reason." Akane said calmly.
Genma cleared his throat and suddenly pushed Ranma forward. "That's right Akane, the only one you should see naked is your fiancé, go on Ranma strip!"
"What?! No!" Ranma's glare turned to his father and if looks could kill, Genma would have died three times over. "There's no way I'm gonna do anything like that!"
"Akane no see Airen naked, Shampoo no allow." The blue haired Amazon said to Genma.
"What's the matter with you boy, are you a coward? Afraid of your fiancé's reaction?" Genma taunted, then brought his arm to his eyes, they started tearing up. "What a shame, I have been shamed by my own son, Ranma you disappoint your father."
"Oh shut up old man." Ranma kicked Genma in the head and knocked the man to the ground. "I ain't strippin' for no one, got it!"
Nabiki cleared her throat. "I hate to ruin this wonderful family bonding situation here, but I might point out that it is going to be dark soon. Perhaps we should find a place for the night."
"Oh yes Nabiki what a grand idea." Kasumi said clapping her hands together once. "We should continue on our journey."
Ranma, feeling more aggravated then when they started out, grabbed Akane roughly by the hand pulling her away from Ryouga and the rest of those idiot guys and started dragging her along. If he would have looked behind him he would have seen Akane's crimson face, and she was not pulling away from him.
After much walking they passed an old well, off in the distance Shampoo could see a village not to far from them. She pointed and jumped up and down. "Look Ranma, Shampoo see village." And they continued towards it. They saw Kuno's body laying in a lump on the ground just before the entrance to the village. Sasuke was there waving a small fan in front of Kuno's face.
Kuno jumped to his feet as if he hadn't been struck. "Very good Sasuke, I feel much revived." He watched as his group had stopped right in front of him.
"What if the villagers aren't very welcoming to strangers?" Ukyou asked the group, voicing her concern out loud.
"We'll just have to take that chance," Ranma answered not realizing he still had Akane's hand in his, he squeezed it lightly not really realizing what he was doing. "Come on let's go." And he led the group into the village. The villagers all stopped and stared and gossiped about the new comers.
"Hello," Ukyou said with a smile as a villager passed her, but he did not return the greeting. "Well that was rude."
Ranma signaled for them all to follow him as the continued into the heart of the village. He saw an old woman with a little boy who had a fluffy fox tail coming towards them sitting on her shoulder. He cleared his throat to speak when the old woman spoke first.
"What brings ye strangers to our village?"
"Well we are looking for…" Ryouga started to say but was interrupted by Ranma jamming him into the side with his elbow, making the lost boy grunt in pain.
"We are looking for a place to stay, you see we are travelers." Ranma said, also feeling Ryouga's aura spike, he was mad. Great he did not need to deal with that idiot right now.
Ryouga rubbed his side. "Ranma!!"
The old woman looked the group over, they certainly looked odd, all of them. Their clothing was like none she had ever seen before. "Travelers aye?"
"Not now Ryouga, we have important plans to make." Ranma said quietly so only Ryouga could hear him. "We will ask the villagers about Naraku later, and we will need a place to sleep tonight. We can fight later."
"Fine," Ryouga growled.
Both Soun and Genma nodded to the old woman's question.
"Very well then, you may stay here. I'll have a hut set up for all of you, by the way I am Kaede, and this here is Shippou."
Shampoo was staring at the boy's tail. "Is tail real?"
Shippou grinned. "Yes it is." He wagged it a little.
"That too, too funny." Shampoo giggled.
The small boy's eyes narrowed in confusion. "Gee, it's as if you've never seen a Youkai before, really."
"A what?" Ukyou asked now also feeling Shippou's tail.
Shippou was loving this, he was getting so much attention from the two girls. The kitsune noticed the large metal object strapped to the back of one of the girls who was petting his tail. "What is that thing?"
Ukyou turned around a bit seeing what he was looking at. "Oh this is a great family heirloom, I use it in fierce battles, but it was mostly used to make my very famous Okonomiyaki." She said proudly.
"What's Oko..okonaomie. uh, what is it?"
Grinning Ukyou said: "Okonomiyaki, its food. Japanese pizza?"
The little fox waved his hand nonchalantly in the air. "Never heard of it."
From out of nowhere Ukyou's travel propane stove appeared and she quickly started making her specialty with her quick speed, she added some meat and veggies and her special sauce. "Ah! Here we go." She gave the pizza to Shippou. "Go on now, see if you like it."
Shippou smelled the round object of food in his hand and cautiously lifted it to his mouth and took a bite. It was so good! And he immediately started to scarf down the rest and it disappeared in the blink of an eye. "That was great!" Shippou had never tasted anything so good in his entire life. "Got any more?"
Ukyou laughed.
"This boy is too, too cute." Shampoo said scratching the little fox on the head.
Akane was ignoring Ranma as he was trying to talk to her about what happened earlier with the hot spring, but she just was not listening. It was always the same thing.
"Enough Ranma, I'm tired of hearing your explanations, I don't care."
Ranma rolled his eyes and crossed his arms against his chest. "Then why do you get so jealous if you don't care?" He smirked.
Her jaw dropped. "Who said I was jealous?! Who told you that?!"
"No one," He was still grinning. "It's written all over your face." Ranma very pleased, seeing Akane jealous was always a plus, that was until it got out of hand and he would be kissing the end of her mallet. Then it was no fun, but now at times like this, it actually showed him that she did in fact care about him, even if she didn't admit it. Ranma did more to add to her irritation by jumping around her and pointing at her face in a teasing manner.
"You're such an idiot," Akane turned away from him, her arms crossing in front of her.
Ranma was about to say more on the subject when they heard a crowd of women shouting in anger and a well known 'what a haul, what a haul' coming from somewhere in the village. Sure enough there was the king of all perverts running and jumping away from a crowd of females.
Happosai was laughing hard, he turned back to see the women running after him with hoes and pitchforks and other such farming tools. He laughed and turned around and jumped right into Ranma's path. Who had caught him quickly by the back ofhis maroon gi.
"So that's where you've been you little freak!" Ranma shouted at the little figure held tightly in his grip.
"Ah, Ranma my boy." Happosai was grinning as he pulled a pink bra from his pack. "Why don't ya be nice and try this little baby on?"
Ranma growled, "What, no way! I'm a guy!"
"This was the only bra I found," Happosai thought out loud. "It might be a bit small for ya, but hey, the tighter the better." He panted.
There was a very feminine growl from the right side of them. "Hey, that's mine!" That voice sounded vaguely familiar.
Ranma looked up to find the face of someone he recognized, which had to be impossible.
Akane groaned and stomped over and pulled the bra from Happosai's hand. "Have you no decency!"
"Forgive me my sweet little Akane," Happosai tried to tear away from Ranma's firm grasp, to jump into Akane's welcoming bos—er arms.
"Oh no ya don't!" Ranma smashed Happosai into the ground. "You ain't touchin' her."
Happosai groaned in pain. "You'll pay for that Ranma, is that how you treat your… master?" He groaned, yet passed out.
Akane turned to the girl with the bra in her hand. "I am so sorry about him, he's kind of an old pervert." This girl looked a tad familiar to Akane, she had long black hair and she was wearing a school uniform?
"Hey don't I know you?" The girl asked. "Oh yes, yes of course, from Furinkin High, you're Akane Tendou. We met a few weeks ago, don't you remember your boyfriend knocked me down. My name's Kagome, Kagome Higurashi. Remember?"
Akane huffed. "He's not my boyfriend." She missed Ranma rolling his eyes at that comment. "But yes I do remember you, just I didn't expect to see anyone that I know here in the past. How is that even possible?"
"It's a long story," Kagome said with a smile on her face.
There was a loud growl from above them and then suddenly a figure in red had bounded down in front of Ranma and Akane. Ranma blinked, he remembered this guy from the woods. Akane's sight narrowed in on those dog ears on his head, she wondered if they were real. She took notice of his very long silver hair and well those claws on the ends of his fingers looked deadly.
"Oi, Kagome, did you get the little bastard?" The dog eared boy said, then looking at the two in front of them.
Kagome was smiling. "Well actually Inuyasha, these people stopped the little pervert, but I did manage to get my bra back."
Inuyasha was eyeing Ranma and Akane suspiciously. "Who are you?" He then noticed something pink hanging around the girl's neck. "And you have what I want." He reached out for the little jewel shard as Akane jumped away from him.
"Hands off creep!" Akane shouted at the dog eared boy.
Groaning, Kagome stepped forward. "Inuyasha stop it."
"She's got a jewel shard Kagome, I'm gonna take it back from this wench one way or another." He flexed his claws.
Ranma's need to protect what was his, spiked. "You keep your hands off Akane." He moved to stand in front of her.
"Ranma!" Akane complained from behind him. "I can take care of myself you know."
He was ignoring Akane, it didn't matter what she thought she could do. This guy was weird and Ranma wasn't going to take any chances.
Inuyasha glared at Ranma, this human boy was in the way of the jewel shard. "Get out of my way human if you don't wanna get hurt."
A small smirk found it's way onto Ranma's lips. "Your move." He bent down a bit taking his fighting stance.
There was a loud scuffle from behind them, Akane turned to find Shampoo and Ukyou running towards them, along with the rest of their traveling party.
"What going on?" Shampoo asked hurrying to Ranma's side. "Who Ranma fight now?"
Inuyasha started for Ranma but he didn't get very far…
"Inuyasha, sit!" Kagome shouted and the dog eared boy went face first into the ground.
From a hole in the ground, Inuyasha growled. "What'd you do that for?!"
Kagome was smiling as she stepped over Inuyasha and in front of Akane, a pretty smile on her face. "He has bad manners, I'm sorry. It's just the jewel shard hanging around your neck."
Akane glanced down at it. "He wanted this? I'm not supposed to give it to anyone."
Looking around and pulling out half of the completed jewel from her uniform top, Kagome showed it to Akane. "Well I do have alot of it, it was inside my body at one time. So you can give it to me and not worry about it."
"Well if you're sure." Akane was looking down at the sparkling pink shard on her chain, she reached around and unclasped the necklace and held it out to Kagome. Ranma's hand came down on Akane's, hiding the jewel from Kagome's sight.
"What are you stupid?" Ranma insulted. "Don't give that to her, we can't trust anyone with this."
"Ranma!" Akane started to say when she heard a growl from in front of her, she turned to find that Inuyasha guy throwing Ranma a dirty look.
Kagome looked genuinely hurt with what Ranma had said. "Well you can trust me."
"Oh yeah, well I don't think it's a good idea. Who knows if you're just tricking us. We just met you." Ranma said to Kagome with a rather hurtful tone.
Akane pulled her hand from beneath Ranma's. "You're such a jerk Ranma, she goes to our school."
"Well that's just the perfect cover isn't it? Who knows if this girl is anything like that thing back in Nermia, it attacked us for this jewel piece. We need to be cautious." Ranma talked right to Akane as if Kagome wasn't standing there.
Inuyasha had enough, he was starting to get mad. How dare they insinuate that Kagome was not honest, he could see that this human male had hurt Kagome's feelings, and he wasn't going to get away with it. "Give us that shard right now." Inuyasha demanded, "I'm tired of being a nice guy about it."
Ranma rounded on Inuyasha. "Don't start something you can't finish," his eyes drifted up to the ears atop Inuyasha's head. "Dog boy,"
"Dog boy!? You're gonna pay for that human." Inuyasha flexed his claws.
From next to Ranma, Akane groaned. "Ugh, Ranma don't pick a fight with someone like this."
"Yeah, dog boy here could have rabies." Ukyou's voice said through the crowd
Akane stomped her foot and turned to Ukyou. "That's not what I meant!"
"Stay out of this Akane, its got nothing to do with you." Ranma was not looking at Akane, but at Inuyasha with extreme dislike.
Her anger aura was spiking she felt the beginning of her anger taking over, she was going to pound him into next week with that mallet of hers. Akane took a step forward to slap the stuffing out of him, when Nabiki stepped in between the two of them, then pushing her way to stand in the middle of Inuyasha and Ranma.
"Now, now boys, let us not fight." Nabiki looked as calm as ever holding her finger up in front of Ranma. She saw Ranma's eyes shift to the sword at Inuyasha's side, he remembered that thing.
"Give me the jewel shard and no one gets hurt." Inuyasha's eyes drifted to Akane.
Thinking that Inuyasha was threatening Akane, Ranma threw his fist forward narrowly missing Inuyasha's nose. The dog boy had jumped back in a quick reflex and his golden eyes were narrowing in anger.
Soun started sobbing. "Did you see that Saotome, he protected Akane."
"That I did Tendou." Genma put his hands next to his mouth and shouted to Ranma. "That's my boy! Show him who he's messing with!"
Inuyasha looked at Genma like he suddenly grew three heads. "Him show me, you've got to be kidding?" Slyly, Inuyasha's gaze traveled to Ranma's and he threw him a very smug look. "As if a mere human could beat me, especially one as weak as you."
That did it! Ranma fumed, that idiot just signed his death warrant, insulting him like that, calling him weak. Ranma was going to show him who was weak. "Oh yeah!?" his fists clinched tightly together.
"Yeah," Inuyasha crossed his arms in front of him.
Looking around Nabiki noticed the crowd gathering around them, it gave her a most brilliant idea. She made her way over to Kagome. "Say, what was dog boy's name?"
Giving her an odd look, Kagome answered: "His name is Inuyasha, why?"
Nabiki let a ghost of a smile appear on her lips as she walked away from her, she eyed Ranma and Inuyasha glaring at each other. It was perfect; Nabiki cleared her throat and said rather loudly. "Inuyasha verses Ranma, place your bets! Who's stronger, who will win?! Come on now don't be shy, everyone can play!" She waved around a cloth drawing attention to herself. "Just a coin or two, come on."
"Nabiki," Kasumi scolded wagging her finger at her sister as people gathered around her placing their bets.
With a smile on her face, Nabiki winked at Kasumi. "Hey a girl's gotta think of the future." She then turned back to her patrons. "Yes, you sir? ...Ah good choice… two on the dog eared boy, wonderful."
Ranma's eyes squinted hard as he controlled his anger, how dare Nabiki use him like this! He then thought more about it and shrugged, well that was just how Nabiki was. He then opened his eyes, looking very smug. "So now it's a real fight then, having second thoughts?"
"No way," Inuyasha said with an equally smug look. "It just makes things a bit more exciting."
Walking out of one of the huts with Miroku, Sango noticed the gathering of the villagers, she wondered what was going on. "Hey Miroku, what do you make of that?"
He turned to see what she was talking about; Miroku put his finger to his chin. "Looks interesting, let us go and investigate."
Together they headed over to the commotion, they saw Inuyasha standing across from a stranger, Miroku of course noticed the plethora of new women to the village, beautiful women. He wondered silently to himself if he looked all right as he continued to walk with Sango, his attention was drawn to a brown haired woman waving around a cloth and asking for bets. It was interesting to say the least.
Inuyasha sighed dramatically. "I won't even use my Tetsuiga to beat you, I'll do it with my bare hands!" He growled out spreading his feet apart and tossing his beloved sword to the ground.
Ranma's smirk seemed to get even more arrogant if that was even possible. "I'd like to see you try."
"Ranma!" Akane growled. "This is stupid!"
Shampoo clapped. "Ranma will win fight, Akane no appreciate Shampoo's airen."
"He is not your airen." Akane said bitterly.
"That's right," Ukyou crossed her arms over her breasts, "My Ranma-honey is going to be triumphant in this fight."
"No, Ranma belong Shampoo." The Amazon pointed to herself.
"Not even!" Ukyou turned on Shampoo and stomped her foot on the ground. "If you so much as look at him, I'll…"
"You can no do anything, Ukyou obstacle. Obstacles for killing."
"Oh yeah, I'd like to see ya try it, ya hussy!" Ukyou shouted in Shampoo's face.
Clearing his throat from beside them, Miroku looked at both of the girls and they turned their heads looking at him in a strange way, well it was strange to him. Very uninterested. "Ladies, why are you fighting? Men come and go, but friendship is forever."
"Ukyou no friend of Shampoo." Shampoo huffed and crossed her arms over her breasts looking away from Ukyou.
Ukyou did the same. "You can say that again, I'd rather eat live rattlesnakes then be friends with this tart."
"Just who you stranger?" Shampoo asked, her brows were arched. "Why you think Ukyou and Shampoo friends?"
Miroku sighed dramatically. "Miroku is my name, I am but a humble monk, my lady." He bowed lightly. "I travel with the purpose of ridding my hand of this terrible wind tunnel…" He held up his hand wrapped in cloth with his prayer beads keeping it secure. "…that will one day pull me into it, ending my life."
"Ah Aiya, that tragic story." Shampoo suddenly felt very sorry for this man.
Nodding, Ukyou tended to agree. "Yeah, that's terrible."
Putting his finger to his forehead he nodded. "Yes it is tragic, and you see I don't have a son to carry on in my place if the disaster should befall me."
"What was that?" Ukyou's brow arched in suspicion.
"You no have wife?" Shampoo asked seriously.
Nearly choking on his saliva, Miroku wondered if this time his luck would shine through. "No, I have no wife." He looked very depressed while he gazed at the ground. And as he lifted both of his hands he calmly said: "So perhaps one or both of you fine ladies could bare me a child." Miroku heard growling and looked up at both of the girls and their eyes were narrowed and they were shaking with anger. He smiled innocently and then looked down at where his hands were. "Oh pardon me, I didn't know I was doing that." He still did not remove his hands from both the girl's backsides.
Shampoo whipped out her bon bori and Ukyou pulled her spatula off her back.
"Shampoo no let stupid pervert man touch Shampoo like that, only Shampoo airen do that."
Ukyou growled. "No one touches me like that, do ya hear!" At the same time Shampoo and Ukyou swung their weapons hitting Miroku on the head knocking him forward to the ground, they then continued to pound their weapons down on him in a cloud of dust while yelling curses at him.
Sango and Kagome just stood to the side of this little commotion with their arms folded over their breasts and shaking their heads in disappointment.
"Well the pervert had it coming." Sango said while letting out a small puff of air. She then nudged Kagome gently turning her attention to Inuyasha and his new opponent. "What's going on here?"
Putting her fingers to her sinuses, Kagome would explain. "Inuyasha got himself into another fight, really I don't know why he has to try and prove himself like this." Kagome pointed to Ranma and Akane. "It turns out that I go to school with a few of these people, and how they got back here to the past, I don't know."
"Maybe they're Youkai?" Sango offered her idea, of course they didn't really look like demons, but then no one really knew when a demon was going to disguise itself as a human.
Kagome shook her head no. "I don't think so."
Inuyasha had run forward he didn't really anticipate Ranma's quick reflexes as he was hit in the gut with Ranma's fist, and Inuyasha stumbled back a little, holding his stomach. How did he do that!? It's impossible. That idiot human looked smug, oooh he was going to pay and pay big.
From the sidelines, Akane clasped her hands together, worried. 'Ranma you dummy, be careful.' She thought to herself affectionately. "He looks fierce Ranma, I wouldn't make him too mad if I were you."
"He ain't so tough." Ranma boasted as he watched Inuyasha stumble backwards a bit.
Akane felt an arm go around her shoulders and she looked up to see Kuno looking down at her. "Hey!"
"Fear not Akane Tendou…" Kuno began.
Ranma turned at hearing Akane's irritated 'hey' and was hit in the face and thrown backwards quite a distance. He slid across the ground with the force of the blow, he stared up at the darkening sky, angry with himself. Akane was a big distraction he needed to focus on the fight.
"…I your defender will see to it that if Saotome is defeated that you are not, yourself dishonored with his shame." Kuno clutched Akane tighter to his side. "Once he is out of our way, we can begin our lives together in the throws of marital bliss."
Hearing that made Ranma seethe as he got to his feet. "I ain't gonna lose Kuno." Nothing was going to get in the way of his winning this fight. Ranma flipped over and kicked Kuno in the face with both feet, "and keep your paws off Akane you jerk!" he jumped back to face his opponent.
Kuno fell backwards. "Cur…curse you, Ranma Saotome…" And he promptly passed out.
Brilliant! Nabiki had an even more brilliant idea, since she put all her money on the dog eared boy. Eh Ranma could win a fight easily back home, but this was a fight not against a normal man, from what Nabiki learned, this Inuyasha fellow was a half demon. So it's probably a safe bet that Ranma would lose this fight. But that first blow that Ranma landed on his opponent got Nabiki thinking, that perhaps it wasn't going to be an easy victory.
Nabiki did not smile, but she felt like she would. She then made her way over to Mousse. "I just had a thought, if Ranma was beaten in this fight. Shampoo might not want him anymore. Since he would not be as strong for an amazon."
"Oh Nabiki, you really think so?" Mousse said straightening his glasses over his nose.
"That I do." She winked. "Shampoo could be your bride if you play your cards right." She kept in yet another smile and turned away from Mousse to see Ryouga glaring at Ranma and shaking his fist at him every time Ranma managed to get the better of Inuyasha. That was her next target, she sidled over to the sometimes pig boy. "Hey Ryouga."
"Nabiki," Ryouga said acknowledging her presence but keeping his eyes on the fight.
"You're good friends with Akane, right?"
Ryouga turned his head towards Nabiki. "I would die for her!" He exclaimed passionately with his fist held up in the air. "If only she could see what an idiot Ranma was, if I could only tell her the feelings I have for her!"
This was just too perfect, Nabiki was so pleased with herself. "Well don't you think that if he lost this fight, she might leave him and turn to you?"
His eyes widened with shock. "Oh, I would do anything for Akane, I would do anything to show her my love. If only Ranma wasn't in my way." Yes Nabiki was right, if Ranma lost the fight, it would prove that he was weak and Akane wouldn't want someone who was weak.
Nabiki now couldn't contain herself, she was grinning like a Cheshire cat. She as quick as lightening went over to Kuno who was not standing, with his arms folded over his chest.
"You know Kuno-baby, if Ranma lost this fight. Akane might break off their engagement."
Kuno put his hand to his chin in thought. "You have a point Nabiki Tendou, your sister would not want to be affianced to such a terrible loser."
"Oh of course," Nabiki had to hide in her laughter of pure delight, of course her scheme did not go unheard.
"NABIKI!" Akane couldn't believe it; Nabiki was trying to fix the fight.
Looking innocent, Nabiki shrugged. "What, Akane?"
"How can you do something like that, fixing the fight so Ranma will lose?!" Akane crossed her arms, and turned away from her sister.
"Saotome, Ranma!!" Was shouted from three male voices as they all trudged towards Ranma, he the victim of this plot did not have time to react when Mousse's chainswrapped around his body tightly.
"Hey! You guys!" Ranma struggled, furious.
Inuyasha startled from the outburst jumped back, what in the world we're these idiot humans doing!? They were interfering in the fight. Inuyasha's eyes darkened with pure anger. How dare they! He was going to beat this human into the ground and now he had to jump out of the way of their stupid attacks.
"Prepare to die Ranma!" Ryouga exclaimed, jumping into the air releasing his razor bandanas. Ranma jumped around dodging them as they zoomed towards him.
"Ryouga!" Ranma yelled in pure anger.
"This is for Shampoo!" Mousse's voice was heard as he threw bombs of eggs at him, and Ranma using quick steps avoided them.
"Mousse, you too, too stupid duck boy!" Shampoo shook her fist at Mousse.
Kuno's bokken of ridiculous proportions kept striking to hit Ranma, and with Kuno's own brand of sound effects. "Tat, tat, tat, tat. Ranma Saotome, I will defeat you and then the beauteous Akane Tendou will be free of your foul sorcery, I will have rescued her, and with her the Pig Tailed girl."
Ranma groaned out loud. "Over my dead body!" Ranma even though he didn't have use of his arms, he jumped in the air using one of the huts for leverage he was able to get higher up in the air and came shooting down at an angle, aimed right for Kuno's head, imbedding his feet in the older boys face sending Kuno flying backwards, Ranma spun around in the air and landed perfectly on his feet..
"You guys!" Akane started. "This is not fair, you bunch of cheaters!"
Ryouga gasped he was not a cheater he needed to explain that he was only doing it to show Akane that he could beat Ranma, he turned towards Akane. "But I—"
Ranma not giving Ryouga time to speak, was able to kick Kuno's bokken up from the ground and with a spin twist he kicked it in mid air hard into the back of Ryouga's head, and the boy flew forward into the ground unconscious. "Stupid Bacon Butt!"
"Saotome," Soun was impressed. "Can you believe it, even tied up Ranma can win."
Genma chuckled. "Well Tendou, he is my son." He crossed his arms proudly against his chest.
Having enough of limited movement, Ranma flexed his arms outward the chains around him snapping and the pieces flying everywhere.
Mousse was charging him, with long blades sticking out of his sleeves. "Ranma I will win my beautiful Shampoo back from you." Ranma simply let Mousse come towards him and he ducked down and with an uppercut to Mousse's chin, the near sided boy sailed high up in the air shouting… "No fair Ranma Saotome!!"
"Have you guys had enough?! Have ya! Tryin' to gang up on me like that!?" He looked around as angry as hell. There were swirls in Kuno's eyes, Ryouga's eyes were blank as he was down and his head tilted to the side, and Mousse finally came down and landed in a v shape moaning in pain.
This guy wasn't human, he couldn't be, Inuyasha during the commotion had grabbed his Tetsuiga from off the ground, he needed to get rid of this guy and fast. He was strong, and he must want the jewel shards around Kagome's neck. He must be a demon disguised as a human, even though his scent was hidden very well.
Inuyasha was running towards Ranma, who sensed him coming and turning around and crouching down ready to defend himself, he heard a 'Sit boy!' And Inuyasha went face first into the ground.
Growling Inuyasha lifted his head from the Inuyasha sized crater, "Kagome!"
"Cheaters never prosper," She said with her eyes closed, like she knew what he was thinking.
"I wasn't cheating!" Inuyasha sounded muffled as the spell wore off he jumped up, "No human can be that strong, it's impossible."
Ranma rolled his eyes. "Just what they hell are you implying?"
Feeling aggravated, Inuyasha's eyes narrowed in on Ranma. "I'm not implying anything, I have a feeling that you're not a human."
"Excuse me!?" Ranma clinched his fist.
Walking up to him Akane lightly touched Ranma's shoulder and his head whipped around so fast one would think he would have gotten whiplash. "Ranma no more fighting for today."
"Akane! You're not supposed to get in a fight between men!"
Growling, Akane's eyes were narrowing. "Yeah well I don't see two men, I see you and him and he is certainly not…"
"Akane, just butt out!" Ranma interrupted annoyingly
"I'm just trying to help you, you idiot! I'm just worried about you!" Akane shouted in Ranma's face.
Inuyasha had pulled himself up from the ground watching the fight between the two in front of him, what was the matter with these people, he and the possible non human boy were in them middle of a fight when these two stop and start arguing. There arguing seemed to be even worse than he and Kagome's.
Ranma looked away from her, crossing his arms. "I didn't ask for your concern, why don't you go get it from Kuno or something, you two were looking pretty chummy over there." He then rose his voice to a high pitch and said: "Oh Kuno my hero!"
"What!" Akane's fists were now clinched tightly at her sides as her aura was flaring red "I never said that! I can't believe you're being so jealous, again!"
"I ain't jealous, who would be jealous of a bad cook and an unsexy, hell cat like you!" He growled in her face. Seeing her face redden and her body shaking slightly, he stared wide eyed. Oops now this was not good. He stepped back a step. "Uh…Akane…I"
"Ranmaaa, you jerk!" Akane's fist shot up and she threw it hard into his face and he was thrown up, up into the air. Inuyasha wide eyed grabbed Kagome's arm, None of them were human! They couldn't possibly be! As Ranma's body sailed a bit and landed in a near by stream. Akane knew she just had to get away from there, right now. She ran off towards the woods, she needed to be alone, away from Ranma, away from everyone. "Ranma, you jerk, you jerk."
"Akane!" Ukyou's voice called out for her. "Akane, come back don't go out alone!" Even though they were rivals, Ukyou and Akane were sort of friends. It was frustrating when Akane wasn't listening and just ran away. Ukyou decided to race after her, Akane could get into trouble by herself. That girl attracted trouble like Ranma attracted cold water.
Soun immediately rounded on Genma. "What is the meaning of this Saotome?"
"I have no idea Tendou, hey not to worry Akane will be back." He crossed his arms over his chest. "Besides, Ukyou went after her."
Perking up Soun rubbed the back of his head, chuckling lightly. "Heh…heh, you're right Saotome, nothing to worry about. We know how she gets, its best if we let her work off some steam."
Out of the corner of his eye, Inuyasha looked at Kagome. "Are you sure they are human, Kagome? No human should be able to do anything of what we saw here."
Kagome shrugged her shoulders. "Well they are well trained, they study martial arts. So I think that has something to do with it."
"Well then, we'll just have to keep a close watch on them, besides they still have our jewel shard." Inuyasha pointed out. "I intend to get it from them one way or another." He flexed his claws.
Walking a bit through the woods, but not too far away from the village, she could still see it in the distance. 'That Ranma is so stupid' she thought, and Akane needed to work off some of her anger, she wished she were back home so she could take it out in bricks and pieces of wood, but the trees would do for now. "Hiya." She punched a hole right through a tree trunk, and another and another and another... "Hiya!" She wiped the sweat from her brow with her sleeve. "Stupid Ranma, the nerve of him. Saying all that!"
"This is certainly and interesting development."
Hearing an unfamiliar voice from behind her, Akane slowly turned her head…
Well that's it for episode 6. Boy it was a long one. Only if Inuyasha and Ranma's fight weren't interrupted by the idiots huh? Haha. Well they'll probably have another one. Poor Nabiki her plans were totally ruined. Stay tuned for the next episode, I'll try to get it out soon.
Remember to review,
Thanks,
