Paili-Chan- The time that Sesshomaru killed Takara in the fanfiction Sesshomaru's Nearly Heartless Heart, was around the same time that Kikyou pinned Inuyasha to the tree. So to him Sesshomaru it would be fifty years ago. See when he sees Akane, his head is shouting at him and confusing him… Takara must have been a witch for her to be alive now and that through her magic spells she tricked him and faked her death, and also he thinks that she must have put a magic spell on herself to keep her young instead of getting old. And the only a few subtle changes to her appearance, he thinks is a disguise. I know it makes him seem rather ignorant, but it is the 1500's and people weren't as smart as they were back then as they are in today's world. He's not exactly thinking clearly, because he sees Akane and she looks almost exactly like Takara, he's worried that she might try and enslave his mind again. Its not really registering that this girl could be a reincarnation. He will realize in this next chapter that Takara is dead and this girl, her look alike is not Takara at all. It will all be explained in this new chapter.

Summary: Inuyasha/Ranma ½ Crossover… Inuyasha is confused with Kagome's going to a new school, high school was it? And… Ranma and the gang get suckered into going into the past by Cologne to defeat Naraku who threatens the present.
Big Trouble in Sengoku Jidia
Episode 6—Of Perverts and Hot Springs
In a location unknown, Naraku's menacing, dark figure sat against the smooth wall of his palace watching what was displayed through Kana's mirror. It seemed to him that more had joined up with Inuyasha, this was not good especially if even the females were exceedingly powerful. He was not about to be beat when he had come so far. In his hand was most of the Shikon jewel, all he needed was Inuyasha's half and he would have what he desired. But now with these new enemies it seemed like all his plans were for nothing. He needed to stop them.
Summoning his incarnation Kagura, he didn't need wait long for her shadow to walk in front of his screen, he saw the door slide open and she stepped inside. "Kagura, you will go to Lord Youko and bring him to me, I need a favor."
Naraku needing a favor? Kagura silently wondered what was going on. This wasn't like him at all. He must feel threatened somehow, but why? Not to cross him Kagura did what she was ordered to do. She bowed and stepped from the room, pulling her feather from her hair she threw it in the air and with her on it, traveled towards the east for the Youkai Lord Youko.
Passing over the mountains, Kagura flew towards the ocean and a very beautiful palace by the sea, she could see its walls that surrounded the square and five story palace, as she descended towards the Earth, her feather disappeared and she landed softly on the ground. There were guards at the gates and they reached for their katanas, holding her fan, Kagura was ready in case she had to fight. "I am here on orders of Naraku." She said to the guards who immediately halted in their move.
The golden doors to the palace opened slowly as if it was meant to be dramatic Kagura walked forward her bare feet landed on red plush carpet which she knew to have been brought over from the west, all around her were beautiful women standing at attention, a few male guards were stationed around the room. Then she saw him, Lord Youko standing at the head of the room. He stood with his feet apart, powerfully intimidating. Youko was tall, bronze skin, with midnight black hair. He was not wearing a kimono, he was only in a green hakama, his chest was bare and Kagura could see his rippling thick muscles flex as his arms crossed in front of him.
"You are here on Naraku's orders?" He asked, his voice deep and husky, he was definitely a demon that anyone would desire. While staring at Kagura, she bowed to him.
"Yes, he requires your presence." Standing upright, Kagura's eyes met his, which were the brightest green she had ever seen.
One of his female attendants had a very blank look in her eyes, Kagura noted that she was tall and beautiful, her hair was the softest shade of brown and her figure was enough to make other women jealous, she was busty and her hips were round and voluptuous. The woman, she was carrying a tray of fruit over to him, she kneeled down and Youko reached for the star fruit of the plate. He poked the fruit with his claw and lifted it to his mouth, slipping it seductively inside before closing his lips over the fruit and knocking his head back the fruit slipped down his throat. He didn't even chew it.
She pointed to the girl as well as the rest of the women in the room "I could not help but notice that all of these ladies are human."
"Of course they are." Youko, patted the woman on the head like one would do to a dog, he turned around and leaped from his raised floor and landed in front of Kagura. "The rumors are true, I take much pride in my collection of human women." He let his upper lip curl back to reveal sharp deadly looking fangs in a dangerous smirk "They are easy to control."
"We must return to Naraku." If she had a heart it would have fluttered with his nearness, but since it was sitting in a jar in a location of the palace that only Naraku knew about, it did not. She turned around and walked towards the doors and Youko followed almost too silently behind her.
Tracking them with a small human child and an occasional loud toad Youkai would have seemed impossible for some, but not for Sesshomaru. He was able to keep them quiet as they followed at a distance that would not be noticed by Inuyasha, the demon exterminator or that monk. During the past night, Sesshomaru made Jaken watch over Rin while she slept by the small fire that he had allowed, then he the mighty Taiyoukai went to the grave stone of Takara Yorimoto…
Even though he dug through the dirt to get to where she was buried, he did not mind if he soiled his clothing, he must know if Takara was alive and if she was a witch, a witch that deceived him at the moment of her death. Did she really die at all, or was it all just a trick and did she fake her death? If it was a trick, then he, Sesshomaru would make sure that she suffered a very painful death and this time she would not escape her fate.
Sesshomaru kept digging, thinking that it had been at least fifty years, Takara must have aged but was it a spell that kept her young? Finally he reached something, the smell of rotting flesh assaulted his nose but he kept on going. Fingers, he found fingers, and finally he reached something stiff yet somewhat soft, moving the dirt off the soft object he found a rotting human corpse wearing that same clothing he had buried her in. It was Takara's body, he leapt out of the grave. He would send Jaken to rebury this body. Sitting on a tree stump, Sesshomaru would never admit it but he was confused. That human girl he had encountered in the woods, she looked almost exactly like Takara anyone could have made that mistake.
He growled low in his throat, He had made a mistake, he, Sesshomaru does not make mistakes. He needed answers. Standing most regally, Sesshomaru turned and headed in the direction of Bokusenou, the tree demon.
Bokusenou opened his eyes as Sesshomaru came near "You have questions." His voice was thick and deep as it sounded through the trees.
Sesshomaru continued walking until he was directly in front of the tree "You are the demon of the forest, you know all that goes on in these woods. I encountered a human female who I thought to be the one that I had destroyed."
The tree was silent for a moment "The human girl you had fallen in love with, is dead."
He kept in his growl at the mention of the word love "Then tell me, why is there a human female that almost exactly resembles her?" Sesshomaru was waiting for the answer, while the tree demon closed his eyes gathering the information.
Once Bokusenou opened his eyes, he said a single word: "Reincarnated." And all went silent...
Reincarnated, Sesshomaru thought silently as his group followed after the larger group. His eyes riveted on the human girl who may look like Takara, but she was not like her at all. Where as Takara was more elegant and refined and knew how to treat a Youkai such as himself with respect: this other girl was quick tempered, rude and loud…she was not Takara Yorimoto at all. So if that was the case then why was he still following them? He was curious as to what else this look alike would do, that was the answer to his internal question.
The wind picked up and carried the scent of Sesshomaru's traveling party towards Inuyasha and he stopped suddenly, turning around. Because he had stopped everyone else in his group too came to a halt, looking at him curiously.
"Inuyasha, what is it?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha's eyes narrowed "The scent of Sesshomaru is near."
Kagome blinked and her brow creased in confusion "Again? Why?"
"If I knew the answer to that Kagome, I would say it." He rolled his eyes. "He's got that little toad and that human child with him."
Kirara jumped off Sango's shoulder and walked to the back of the group sniffing out the demon lord, but she heard a scream which caused her to wonder why and who it was coming from.
Ranma nearly jumped a foot in the air, he started to sweat and there was a feared look in his eyes. "Keep it away, keep it away!" He kicked his foot at the small version of the fire cat, who merely just sat down in front of him and tilted its head.
Turning around Inuyasha wondered what the commotion was about, he saw something that made him laugh, it was that idiot human and he was completely terrified of the fire cat. "Ah so you're not as tough as you let on."
Lifting his head, eyes full of both fear and hostility, Ranma shouted in a blaze of anger "Shut up, you don't know anything, stupid dog!" It was then that Kirara jumped up to try and make peace with her new companions and decided to start with Ranma, she landed on his shoulder. He seemed to freeze up and fall backwards to the ground. "Eh…eh, get it off!!!"
Laughing Akane, hurried to Ranma's fallen body and bent down picking up the cat, "Oh poor kitty, you scared her." She smiled and was stroking Kirara's fur. Ranma's leg twitched.
"Scared her!? Akane!" Ranma jumped up from the ground. "It's a cat, you know what happens when there are cats around."
"You run home to mommy?" Inuyasha insulted with a smirk.
"No." Genma said in the crowd, he adjusted his glasses on his nose "He becomes unbeatable." He went on to explain everything there is about the Neko-ken.
"Cat-fist?" Sango asked "I have never heard of such a move."
Clearing his throat, Genma said. "Yes well I didn't know to master the move it would have caused severe physiological problems, it had be banned for that reason."
Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest "Him unbeatable, I find that hard to believe."
"You, shut up you!" Ranma shouted at Inuyasha clinching his fist in the air "You know we never did get to finish that fight, I am more than happy to beat you now!" Ranma stepped forward.
"Anytime," Inuyasha growled also stepping forward, the two were almost nose to nose, staring each other down.
Akane and Kagome looked at each other and rolled their eyes, both of them thinking that there is no time to fight. Akane looked down at Kirara still in her arms then up at Ranma. Both she and Kagome were calmly walking over to their target of choice and just as Akane shoved the cat against Ranma's cheek he yelled loudly in fear and Kagome yelled "Sit boy!" And Inuyasha went face first into the dirt.
Groaning, Inuyasha was not happy. "Kagome!!"
Kneeling down, Kagome sighed shaking her head. "There is no cause for this constant fighting between you two, we need to work together." After the subduing spell wore off Inuyasha stood up.
"She's right you know." Akane said to Ranma, holding the cat against her, still petting it.
Ranma took a deep breath, trying to calm down his frazzled nerves. "Will you put that thing down!?"
"No!" Akane shouted up into Ranma's face. "I like her, she's cute!"
Kirara pressed up against Akane, affectionately.
"Man it's almost as bad as P-Chan!" Ranma accused, well the only difference is that this cat wasn't going to be turning into a man anytime soon, especially not turning into Ryouga.
Ryouga turned around having almost answered to that "Ranma! You leave P-Chan out of this!"
"Yeah Ranma," Akane let Kirara jump out of her arms and head back to the front of the group with Sango and Miroku, "I can't believe you're jealous of a pig."
Ranma stuck his fingers in his mouth and pulled his cheeks apart "Eh, who'd be jealous of a tomboy like you." He stuck his tongue out at her. "Mleh."
"Who are you callin' a tomboy?!" Akane argued back.
Rolling her eyes, Nabiki's voice was heard. "Don't they ever get tired of that constant fighting?" She sighed and shook her head.
"Now, now Nabiki," Soun said to her with a hand on her shoulder. "All couples argue, after all they are practically married. Practice for the future is good for the soul I always say, aye Saotome?"
"You said it Tendou." Genma answered with a large smile on his face.
Akane and Ranma turned on their fathers "We are not a couple!" They both shouted at them.
Miroku and Sango stood in complete awe with Kagome they couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"Are they always like this?" Sango asked the person next to her, who happened to be Ukyou drowning out the arguing of Ranma and Akane.
"Yep," Ukyou said in a purely sweet fashion "Would you believe that I am the cute fiancé?"
Sango jolted "You mean that boy has more than one fiancé? Is that even allowed?"
Ukyou shrugged "Well only one of us will win Ranma."
"And that one is Shampoo." The Amazon woman said with a smirk on her face, knowing that she was irritating Ukyou, but she knew that if anyone was going to win Ranma it was going to be her.
Ranma and Akane's fighting got louder and it rang through the forest as the two of them didn't even notice that they were being stared at by the entire forest, animals and all.
Akane stomped her foot "Oh yeah, well what about your flirting with Shampoo, Ukyou or Kodachi?!"
Ranma lifting his hands up into tight fists "If they have crushes that's there problem!"
"You're the one that's gonna be crushed!" Was Ryouga's reply as he seemed to come from out of nowhere, his umbrella pointing downwards to crush Ranma's skull but the pigtailed boy moved the mere half an inch out of the way. And Ryouga landed next to him.
Sango and Kagome huddled together having not expected that outburst or reaction, as Ryouga had made a crater in the ground from the force of his blow.
"Kagome?" Sango looked at her "Why is he trying to use that bamboo umbrella as a weapon? I'm sure it would just break if anything. Is he really as stupid as he looks?"
"Ryouga!" Ranma stood proud, yet angry. Ryouga could have hurt someone else in his rants. He always exaggerated incidents way too much. But he was not about to let himself be bullied by the likes of him. "Now what'd I do?!" Ranma stood face to face with Ryouga who stood up, his heavy umbrella still in his hand.
"Apologize to Akane!" Ryouga pointed the metal object at him, then ran at him swinging it.
Ranma avoided the killer object in his rival's hand by moving left and right, Ryouga's moves were quick, almost too quick, but Ranma was able to move away unscathed as he flipped backwards landing down in a squat with his hands extended. "I didn't do nothin'!"
"No more excuses!" Ryouga threw his weapon on the ground and charged him, throwing his fists into Ranma's face narrowly missing. "Ranmaa prepare to die!"
"Ryouga!" It was Akane's cry "Please stop, you don't have to defend me!"
He was ignoring her, Ryouga was kicking and punching as Ranma avoided his hits, but Ryouga finally got in a good kick to Ranma's chest and he was thrown back into a tree. Ranma groaned and stood up on one knee. Ryouga approached, standing over him, his fists cracking his knuckles. "Those other girls Ranma, people like you make me sick!"
"Ugh!" Ranma was so angry, no one understood! He felt as if his entire body was on fire from the rage he was feeling "You don't know what you're talking about! I've got enough trouble with the uncute fiancé I already got, why would I want more?!"
Something flew at a quick speed and imbedded itself into Ranma's face, he groaned in pain as the water canteen fell to the ground and there was a red square shape on Ranma's face in its place.
"Go ahead and switch to the cute one then, don't let me stop you!" Akane's face was pointed downwards and arm was still thrown forward as she had just thrown her water canteen at him.
"Come on!" Ranma complained, his eyes on Akane. What was she thinking? Well it didn't matter he had already opened his big mouth and inserted his foot.
Ryouga still stood over Ranma, cracking his knuckles. "Even if your fiancé had the face of the moons surface, or had the body of a gorilla! That's no excuse for the way you've been treating Akane, you swine." Lifting his fist and pressing it against his chest.
"Look who's talkin' I ain't the one that changes into a little p—" Ranma was bashed on the head by the fist of Ryouga interrupting what he was going to say.
"Shut up, you!" Ryouga threatened, flexing his fingers outward.
Ukyou pushed her way into the fighting "All right that is enough you three, we have to get back on track." She saw Akane turn her back on them and cross her arms over her breasts stubbornly.
"That's fine with me." Akane stomped away, heading in Kagome's direction.
Ranma growled fiercely at Akane's back, shaking his head back and forth "You are so, so, so uncute!!"
"Akane Tendou!" Exclaimed Kuno, he didn't get another word in edgewise as Akane's fist planted itself in his face, not letting him speak his bouts of love and affection. After removing her fist from Kuno's face she walked right up to Inuyasha, her eyes held a dangerous spark that would rival a youkai's "Well are we leaving or not?!"
The half demon blinked "You are one freaky wench," He heard her low growl and his eyes widened slightly as he thought to himself that like Kagome this girl was scary when she was angry. "Yeah, we're movin' on." Inuyasha turned around and headed further along with everyone following after him. He was still aware of his half brother following them. The reasons why? He wasn't sure. But if he decided to attack them Inuyasha would be ready for him.
They had made one huge fire, as the sun had started to set. Sesshomaru had allowed Rin to join the group if she wished it for something to eat. What human would turn away a hungry child? And just as he thought she was welcomed into their circle. Rin was seated by the Kitsune and they were laughing together, but he was interested in the human Takara look alike. He would keep his watch over this loud female no matter what. Somewhere in the back of his mind his head kept throwing in the idea that this is how he became obsessed with Takara, by constant observation of the human girl. But he just pushed that thought to the back of his mind for the time being.
After taking a sip of his tea, Miroku looked towards Akane. He was curious about what had actually transpired in the woods. Since the Lord of the West was on their tail, Inuyasha had told him that Sesshomaru had been trying to kill her and the 'gender changing', Ranma. The later of course was Miroku's own thoughts. "Miss Akane?"
Looking up from her bowl, Akane blinked having heard her name. "Hm?"
Miroku scooted closer to the girl from the future "I was just curious about what had happened between you and Sesshomaru in the forest yesterday?"
Akane's eyebrows knitted "Who?" That name was unknown to her, and she had no idea who he was talking about.
"The one that tried to kill you," Inuyasha answered for Miroku with a slight irritation in his voice "My half brother, Sesshomaru."
Shrugging her shoulders, Akane thought a moment gathering what she remembered, Which really wasn't a lot, she didn't know why she was attacked. It was really puzzling "I don't really know, I mean I was there blowing off some steam and then it seemed like I had been attacked for no reason at all." Akane shook her head "Is that what happens in this time period, people just go around killing first and asking questions second?"
"That sounds a bit right." Kagome said with a cheerful smile "Just one thing bothers me though, through all the encounters that we have had with him, he has never done anything like that without a reason."
Akane leaned back a little, crossing her feet at the ankles "I think he was a little confused, thought I was someone else I guess." She lifted the chopsticks from the instant noodle cup and slurped up some of the ramen noodles. "Which is an honest mistake, but to not really know the honest facts and try to kill me because he thought I was someone else!? Come on now, honestly." She shook her head with annoyance.
"Feh," Inuyasha shifted and crossed his arms in front of himself, slipping his hands into his sleeves "How stupid can anyone be to mistake you for someone else. Only an idiot would do that."
Kagome lifted a finger up in the air and she turned part way towards Inuyasha "Well now Inuyasha that's not fair, I mean when we first met you thought I was—" She was cut off by Inuyasha's hand cupping her mouth preventing her from speaking the rest of that thought out loud.
"Kagome are you sick, do you have a cough or something?" Inuyasha asked with feigned concern as he kept his hand against her mouth, her saw her eyes narrow in annoyance.
When Inuyasha removed his hand from her mouth Kagome sighed, smiling, the warmth of his palm still lingered on her lips. She stretched her arms up wards "I'm exhausted, you know I think I saw a hot spring around here."
"I know I wouldn't mind going for a nice relaxing dip with you Kagome." Miroku said sounding completely serious and innocent.
Inuyasha jumped to his feet, threateningly before Kagome had a chance to even answer. "Not on your life you lecher! You aren't gettin' near her."
Miroku looked visibly stunned "Are you implying that I behave inappropriately?"
"There is no implying, it's the damn truth!"
Nabiki sighed alerting everyone's attention "Come on ladies, let's go for that hot spring."
Putting her fingers to her lips in distress, Kasumi glanced around. "Oh Nabiki, what about wild animals?"
"Ah Aiya, Shampoo could use nice soak."
Ukyou nodded and agreed with a smile of her own "Me too."
"Sounds good to me," Akane said with a smile, she picked up her pack off the ground, when something gold glittered caught Ranma's eye.
He jolted forward "Wait Akane, don't go yet!"
Turning around, facing Ranma with confusion etched on her face, Akane's brow arched "What? Don't tell me you want to go with us? You can wait your turn like the rest of the guys."
Jumping into the conversation, Soun appeared next to them "Why didn't I think of it before. Go on Ranma, I'll allow it." He put his hand on Ranma's shoulder, staring him in the eyes. "Go with Akane, I'll even let you take a bath together if you like." He sounded rather excited about the idea.
Ranma gasped and stomped his foot "What? Are you crazy?!"
"Are you?!" Akane shouted in anger, also stomping her foot.
Turning part way to Akane, Ranma argued "Why would he even think I'd want to take a bath with a tomboy type like you anyway?!"
Growing, Akane raised her fist in the air her eyes narrowed icily. "Excuse me?!"
Not letting the argument continue, Ranma grabbed Akane's pack from her hand and tossed the heavy thing upside down and shook it. A small man in a maroon gi fell out. The girls around all gasped and held their arms in front of their breasts. "Gee Akane I didn't think you wanted to take this pervert with you." Ranma said.
Looking stunned, Akane stared down at the little pervert. "What the…Ranma, how did you know?"
Happosai stood up and stretched, pushing his back outwards and then standing up as straight as an arrow. "You know I could sure use a nice therapeutic soak right about now, my back is killing me." Was his excuse.
Ranma dropped Akane's pack on his head "Don't worry Gramps you'll be dead before it gets too much worse for ya."
Shifting so that Happosai could look at Ranma over his shoulder in a purely evil way, that look of wrath was clearly in his eyes "What did you just say?" His tone held a warning.
Not even phased by the little troll's warning, Ranma saw something white sticking out of Happosai's gi, Ranma reached forward at a quick speed and grabbed the white thing and pulled it out. It was a bra. "Whoa, more therapy Gramps?" Ranma was sarcastic as he held the object up for all to see.
Swinging his arms around frantically, Happosai yelled "Give that back, hand it over. That's mine!" He tried to jump at the white under garment, but Ranma held it up higher.
Akane charged in furious… "No! It's mine!" …Embarrassed beyond all belief and ripped the garment from Ranma's hand faster than even his Kachü Tenshin Amaguriken.
Happosai kept swinging his arms around frantically "Its mine, its mine, its mine!"
"No it isn't!!" Akane shrieked, as she glared daggers at the little man.
Stepping back a bit and taking a deep breath, depression seemed to settle in on Happosai, he sniffled "Mine…mine." He was hunched over as a wave of sadness emanated from the little man.
Akane grabbed her pack off the ground and shoved her bra inside itWhy did he have to come along to the past anyway? Infuriated, Akane then followed the other girls towards the hot spring.
Hanging his head, Happosai started following Akane and the girls slowly, until something grabbed him by the back of his gi, pulling him up in the air. It was Ranma.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Soun covered his face with his hands briefly "Please Master, try to control yourself."
"Yeah," Genma added.
Happosai struggled in Ranma's grasp, waving his arms and legs back and forth frantically. "But I don't wanna, I don't wanna! I wanna go to the hot spring with Akane!" He whined.
"No way old man," Ryouga had a piece of rope out and he snapped it taut.
Kuno gasped "Cretin, you dare to peep on Akane Tendou in the nude" He shouted, "I won't allow it!"
"Don't forget Shampoo is there too," Mousse then pointed his finger at Inuyasha "How dare you little pervert peep on my future bride!"
Inuyasha moved the inch towards the Chinese martial artist and smashed him on the head with his fist "Who you callin' a pervert!?"
"Huh?" Mousse adjusted his glasses more on his nose, seeing clearly that he was not talking to the little creep "You aren't Happosai."
Inuyasha shook with anger, his temper boiling hotter. "Just what kind of idiot are you!?"
Ranma, Soun, Genma and Ryouga all struggled to tie up Happosai on the ground in a little round ball. Ranma was stepping on his little body while pulling the rope tightly. Happosai struggled.
"Traitors, how dare you show such insolence," Happosai said mainly to Ranma, Soun and Genma, piercing them with his evil eye.
Pulling the rope tighter, Ranma was not going to let this little runt escape "Shut up Pervert, shut up!"
In a blur Happosai zoomed from the ropes "Woohoo!!" And he started running in the direction of the hot spring. "Akane! Here I come!!"
"Master!" Genma jumped through the air.
"No! Stop him!" Soun also jumped in the air and they both tried to subdue Happosai. But only landed in a heap on the ground, and the little man was no longer in sight.
Ryouga looked around frantically "Hey, where'd the little lecher run off to?"
Holding up a finger in the air, Ranma suspiciously cocked an eye brow "I'll give you one guess."
"Akane!" Both Ranma and Ryouga shouted at the same time, they noticed that Akane's father and Ranma's father was already heading in the direction of the hot spring.
Ranma and Ryouga quietly snuck up peering through the bushes along with the fathers, most of the girls were already in the hot spring, the only ones missing so far were Akane and Kagome.
"What are we gonna do Saotome?" Soun asked his best friend.
Genma took a deep breath and pushed back some of the green bushes in his way "Don't worry Tendou, we've gotta get the girls to leave before the master gets here."
From another location but not to far from his miserable worm like disciples, Happosai watched the girls with fascination, he heard a twig snap behind him and the old man turned sharply. "Who's there?"
It was the monk, who held his hands up defensively. "It's just me, I just came to check on the ladies to see if they were all right."
Happosai crossed his arms over his chest sarcastically, disbelieving anything this young man said. "Do I look like I just fell of the turnip truck?"
Miroku not really understanding what the old man meant by that, couldn't help the confusion that was evident in his eyes. "I fear I do not understand your words."
"Look kid, this is my peeping place. Go find your own." Happosai dismissed the monk and started to turn around to observe the girls. The old man could hear Soun and Genma talking, he listened intently to their ridiculous plan.
"I have a plan, we'll scare the girls from the hot spring." Genma pulled out his canteen and opened it and dumped it on his head, he transformed right then into a large panda. He thought he heard someone shout rather incoherently, but he simply shrugged and just brushed it off
Ranma scratched the back of his head "I don't get it, Pop."
Genma lifted a sign which read 'I shall disguise myself with this.' And from behind his back he pulled out a pail of paint.
"Where did you get that?" Ryouga was confused, he didn't know that they brought paint along with them, what would they need it for? He saw the panda shrug.
"I get it!" Soun exclaimed rather excitedly "What we know to be a perfectly harmless friendly panda, will appear to the girls as a man eating Grizzly bear." He saw the panda nod vigorously.
Ranma who actually looked proud was grinning "Hey old man, that plan of yours ain't half bad."
"You said it." Ryouga said sounding equally pleased. The three of them watched as Genma who was painted white charged through the bushes and right for the girls. He stood on the bank and growled loudly, terrifyingly.
"It's a man eating bear!" Soun shouted.
"Run for your lives!" Ranma added just as loud.
Sango, who looked a bit frazzled, she was about to bolt to grab her Hirokatsu, but one look at Ukyou, Shampoo, Nabiki and Kasumi who all turned around looking at the white bear, just staring at it as if this thing happened on a daily basis, confused the demon exterminator.
"Hey, why aren't we trying to kill it?" Sango didn't get it, there was a bear and she needed to grab her weapon to dispose of the beast.
Ukyou looked at the bear with annoyance rather than fear "Honestly how stupid do you think we are?"
"Yeah, Polar bears in Japan, Puh-lease." Shampoo crossed her arms over her breasts, looking equally annoyed.
Standing on the other bank of the hot spring in a towel with Kagome, Akane blinked at the white bear. She recognized that bear, even if it was all white. "Mr. Saotome?"
The Panda lifted up a sign that read 'This is em-Bear-essing.' He heard Akane's growl and he grinned rather innocently, throwing up another sign which read, 'this isn't what it looks like'.
"Mr. Saotome, I can't believe it!" Akane picked out a cup that she normally uses for water when she brushes her teeth from her small hand bag and scooped some water in it and threw it really hard at the 'Polar Bear', who flew with the force of the hit backwards, the hot water splashing all over him as he sailed through the bushes back to where Soun, Ranma and Ryouga were.
Soun groaned, and feeling a bit angry glared down into Genma's face "What next genius?"
"That was a stupid plan!" Ryouga rolled his eyes.
From his and Miroku's hiding place, Happosai laughed "Stinkin' amateurs."
Miroku couldn't believe it, that man changed into a bear, that was unbelievable. What else but demons could do such things? But hearing Happosai's comments, made Miroku's brow crease in confusion. "I don't think they were planning to observe the ladies, it seemed like they were trying to run them off."
"I know that." Happosai jumped onto a boulder to get more eye level with Miroku "I know you like lookin' at them girls, heh, heh I know I do, I like gettin' in there and touchin' more myself." He looked rather proud as he planted his little hands on his little hips. "I have techniques that you could only dream about."
Miroku cocked a brow "Hm, is that so?"
The old man grinned "The secret to successful voyeurism is to imitate the chameleon, to blend your self in with the surroundings. Once you understand that, its simply really."
Leaning up against a tree and keeping an eye on the beautiful lovely ladies down in the hot spring, and occasionally glancing at the old man. He let out a small hm like noise "You certainly sound like you know what you what you are talking about." Miroku wasn't too sure of this little man's peeping skills. He would have to see it for himself.
Happosai's jaw dropped "You don't believe me" He looked relatively hurt by the lack of faith as the monk just continued to look at him as if he were nothing but a crazy old man. "Fine, then, just observe." Jumping in the air, Happosai twirled around and somehow appeared in a little fur suit. "Just watch this." He sprinted down to the hot spring and made a small splash.
"Oh look, it's a monkey." Kasumi sounded a little too cheerful.
Shampoo giggled "Oh so cute, where it come from?"
Miroku sat there stunned, well the little old pervert knew something after all as he watched the girls surrounding the 'little monkey.' This little old man definitely knew what he was talking about. "What skill."
Soun and Genma's jaws dropped as they saw their master sitting with the girls in the water and they weren't trying to clobber him.
"Would you look at that Tendou, he didn't just dress up as the monkey, he became the monkey."
Agreeing, Soun let out a breath of air "He truly is a genius when it comes to peeping, we don't deserve him as our master."
Ranma couldn't believe what he was hearing, as he marched over to his father and grabbed him by the front of his gi "Hey! Don't you think you're forgettin' somethin' here!"
"Yeah, what about Akane!? Who knows what that old man is gonna do!" Ryouga said into Genma's face.
Putting his finger to his sinuses after having dropped his father on the ground, Ranma turned to Ryouga "Looks like I'll have to take care of this."
"No way Ranma! What if you see Akane naked!"
Ranma squeezed his fists tightly "Hey, it's not like I wanna see that tomboy naked!" He did not notice the tiny blush that stained his cheeks as he turned around and shouted "Hey, is that a bra!"
"A bra, where?!" The monkey asked.
Shampoo gasped "Aiya, monkey just talk."
A growl sounding full of rage came from Ukyou "Hey! That ain't a monkey, it's Happosai!"
Sango's eye twitched as she angrily reached for him, but the little monkey tried swimming away "Get back here you dirty old man!"
The girls were swimming after him in a mad rage and Happosai couldn't help but laugh as he was being chased by beautiful young ladies, he ended up on the other side of the hot spring where he felt something hit him on the head "Who did that?!"
Ranma was glaring down at the little man, his foot pushing harder onto his head, he and the old man were hidden from view. Reaching down, Ranma grabbed the pervert by his monkey suit. "You little lecher!" He shook him a bit.
"It's much more peaceful on this side don't ya think?" Kagome asked Akane with a cute smile on her face as they settled in the water.
Akane was smiling "Oh I agree, the other side is just way too crowded. Besides I don't get along to well with Shampoo, Ukyou I guess I'm friends with. But we still have a conflict between us."
Happosai's eyes seemed to light up with happiness "Oh my stars and garters, its Akane!" He wrestled from Ranma's grasp, escaping and sunk back in the water.
Ranma was furious "Hey, get back here!" He dove into the water, swimming to find the little creep. Just where did that little gremlin go?
Hearing a splash, Kagome turned and found a deer sitting with is back to her and Akane. "Hey look Akane" She pointed out the pipe smoking little dear, knowing very well that this even in demon times deer did not smoke anything.
With her brow arching, Akane then rolled her eyes. "Uh-huh a deer smoking a pipe, Puh-lease." Standing up she kicked Happosai out of the water like one would a field goal and the little guy flew threw the air. "I think I've had just about enough of this." She picked her towel up off the large boulder and wrapped it around herself, securing it with a knot at the side of her breast.
Hearing something approaching at lightning speed and hearing her name being shouted from the air, Akane knew exactly who it was and only had time to block her breasts from being grabbed by a flying squirrel! "Ahh!!" She had just thrown her arms in front of herself when a figure burst up out of the water hardly an inch front from her and hit the flying squirrel and it was sent back the way it came at an even faster speed than before.
Akane recognized the figure's pigtail and grabbed the very large boulder from off the side and hit the pigtailed boy on the head with it in a mad rage.
"Ow!" Ranma shouted and he turned partially around to see Akane's face etched in anger and a very large boulder held high above her head, ready to throw it down at him. No normal girl could lift such a thing, not even him in his female form could lift half the things she could lift. "Akane! I…I… wait!" He turned around facing her, his blue shirt soaking wet. He had vaguely heard Kagome gasp and the splashing of the water as she quickly moved away.
Akane's voice was filled with nothing but hostility as she glared down at Ranma "You better start talking, and you better make it good!"
Ranma waved his hands in the air "We were trying to stop the old man I tell ya!"
Hearing the old man coming back, Akane looked up in the sky and with determination to knock the little pervert out of the sky, she threw the boulder hard and flew for quiet a distance finally hitting Happosai with a loud thud and the old man with the boulder fell to the ground, the boulder keeping him dented in the ground.
Wrapping herself in the towel Kagome walked over to Akane and Ranma, she was standing on the bank as she faced the two of them. "Geeze Akane, I don't know any girl, let alone anyone who can lift heavy objects like that." She shook her head "No wonder everyone thinks you and your friends are demons. I know I can't do anything like that."
"It's her brute strength," Ranma scoffed "She's got the strength of like seven gorillas, but when it comes to speed and gracefulness, she's a klutz."
"Oh be quiet Ranma!" Akane lifted her eyes to Kagome's. "We are not demons, everyone except for maybe Kuno can do things like I can, some better than me."
"Some?" Ranma teased, his brow was arched in amusement.
Kicking her foot up at an angle, Akane tried to kick Ranma but he dodged her move "Ranma! No one cares what you have to say, you pervert!"
Ranma stuck his thumbs in his ears and waved his hands up and down childishly, while sticking his tongue out at her "Nah, nah. You missed."
"Raanmaa!!" Akane was hunched over her eyes hidden by her bangs hanging down, her anger aura blazed brightly, and she reached for it, it appeared out of no where. Her mallet. She stood up straighter lifting the huge hammer like object high above her head. "You jerk!" She swung it at him and he shifted narrowly being hit by that weapon of hers. She swung again and her face etched in anger.
Ranma feared for his head, and well he probably deserved it, there was no calming that girl down when she was like this. So he took off with her chasing after him. "Man I need to learn to keep my mouth shut!" He said running away at a quick speed.
"Get back here Ranma!" Akane turned and followed after him, still swinging her mallet as she only a few feet behind him, she was gaining on him, but he was still getting away.
Kagome back at the hot spring wondered if Akane knew she was still in her towel, she shrugged and started getting dressed in her school uniform. She draped Akane's clothes over her arm and grabbed her new friend's small little travel bag. Then stuffing the little bag into her huge pack and tried lifting it. "Geeze what does she have in this thing anyway?" She thought her bulging yellow bag was heavy, but this thing, this thing takes the cake.
Feeling a tingle run thought her and that all familiar sensation was getting closer Kagome stood up straight looking around. Jewel shards, and they were coming towards her at an alarming rate.
Next time on Big Trouble in Sengoku Jidia:
"Dear Kagome, I might be persuaded to give you my shards?" The wolf demon was smirking.
Kagome clasped her hands together, "Really?" She sounded so excited and happy.
Crossing his arms over his powerful chest, Kouga's smirk seemed to grow even more devious, "Yeah." He moved closer to her, lifting his arms and gently putting his hands on her shoulders.
Inuyasha who was standing behind them and trying to look intimidating, he silently cursed the wolf under his breath, glaring hard at him.
"Kagome," Kouga's voice dropped to a low almost seductive purr, "I'll give you my shards for a…" He was letting the time it took to make his request draw out long and knowing it was irritating Mutt Face behind him, he moved even closer to his Kagome "…kiss."
Well that is it for Episode 6, I hope everyone enjoyed it. Stay tuned for the next one, it should be out soon. Until then readers!
