New Magatama Blood

A Ranma ½/King Of Fighters Crossover

Ch 4: Filling the hole

2 days have past, and the kusanagi brothers were up and ready for school, and also gone before Akane and Nabiki were finished breakfast. On the way to school Ryo and Ranma seen a note attached to a tree, via dart, Ranma grabbed the note and read it.

Foul Sorcerers

I kuno hearby challenge either thee to a battle after school at the park be there.

Ranma tore up the note and looked at his brother. "Geeze he doesn't give up does he I mean he should have learned after being hospitalized after the divine attack"

Ryo nodded in agreement. "I know this guy seriously needs and attitude adjustment or at the most a new brain."

As they arrived at the school, there as usual was the ominant boy squad, ready for another round of trying to date Akane. The two brothers then went and relaxed for a few moments under their favorite tree.

Elsewhere a boy wearing a yellow bandanna with spots and carrying an umbrella was trudging along, he checked a nearby sign which read Kyoto district. He lightly growled and headed Right. "Ranma, Ryo, I'll find you soon count on it".

On the streets Of Nerima

"Shampoo sense love is near but wait and susprise him, he glad to see, as I glad to see him" said Shampoo as she cheerfully bounced along.

During homeroom

"What is it Kuno baby?" Nabiki asked as Kuno stood in front of her desk looking serious. "I am in need of your services Nabiki... I wish to know how to beat Ryo and Ranma for good," he said slamming down 500,000 yen. Nabiki letting her love for money get the better of her gave in. "Alright Kuno baby...".

Lunch time came as Ryo and Ranma were enjoying their lunches under the shady tree and as usual Kuno interupted them. "Soon your lives will end Foul Sorcerers, starting with you Ranma, for insulting me and the fierce tigress Akane Tendo I will Smithe thee... hummmmmm what's the matter Ryo trouble in paradise?" Kuno said in a smug voice. Ryo quickly got up, wide eyed.

"I was told you're having problems with women, for 5 years, what's a matter Ryo, no wonder you can't get a date... I mean what kind of girl would wanna date , a cold hearted bastard such as you, no one thats who, and quite frankly I can't blame them, you're nothing but a worthless, cold hearted cocksucker, who doesn't give a shit about women".

Kunos words struck a cord inside of Ryos soul... Ryo hung his head low, the tears threatening to fall. "Look at the all mighty Ryo fall by words, my informers info paid off...huh" Kuno gasped as he noticed Ryo was violently shaking, his fist were clenched tight, and his fangs were showing" "Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" Ryo growled... Fire surrounding his entire body, the tears flowed freely... and finally.

"AAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Ryo Screamed aloud unleashing all of his stored energy, fire spewwed withing a 5 foot radius, half the students ran with fear, while others stayed, Akane looked on with that of shock... Nabiki looked on from from a bit more of a distance, with even more fear, then her sister. "Oh no what have I done?" she said with fear.

Kuno tried to escape, but couldn't move as his legs wouldn't let him, as Ryo looked at him, his eyes screamed murder. "You pushed me this time Kuno, first you insult me and my brother, call us foul sorcerers, disrespect the Kusanagi clan, the entire KOF roster, and now insult my life, from five years ago, that's it Kuno, PREPARE TO MEET THE REAPER, CAUSEE I'M ABOUT TO INTRODUCE HIM TO YOU, TIME TO DIE KUNO... DIVINE ASSULT" Ryo roared, severely burning Kuno and letting loose a virage of hard hitting attacks on him, those who stayed looked on with fear, even Ranma was scared of what he saw. "RYO PLEASE STOP" Ranma shouted to his brother, but Ryo wasen't listening as he continued to beat the living hell out of Kuno who was screaming in pain. Ryo blindly looked down at the battered and beaten Kuno, he has 1st degree burns on his body, his body badly mangled, and purple, and his face disfigured. Ryo then charged up his right fist with fire, preparing for a final strike. "SEE YOU IN HELL KUNO" Ryo roared, but never got to make the strike, as he suddendly felt weak, his aura died down, and finally collasped.

"Shampoo sorry Ryo, but you need rest" said a purple haired girl, who stood over Ryo, Ranma noticed who it was and ran over to the girl as did Akane. "Shampoo is that you?" Ranma asked the girl. Shampoo nodded. "Shampoo here, glad to see Ranma, sorry had to put love to sleep, saw what happened and ran over here, used pressure point to put love out" the girl replied kneeling down beside Ryo, stroaking his hair.

"I've never seen Ryo that pissed off ever, he was like Iori, only deadlier, dad has to know, quick lets get him back to the dojo." Ranma said with haste.

"DAD, DAD COME QUICK SOMETHING HAPPENED TO RYO" Ranma shouted from the inside porch. Soun, Kyo and Kasumi quickly rushed to were everyone was to see Ryo, collasped and barely breathing Kyo looked extreamly frightened. "Ranma what happened to your brother, TELL ME" he shouted as his son.

"Kuno, he humilated Ryo, he insulted him about what happened 5 years ago and from this day forward, and said he was a heartless bastard towards women, then all of a sudden Ryo snapped, he was like a deadlier version of Iori when he was posessed by orochi, he almost killed Kuno, then she came and placed Ryo asleep" Ranma replied looking over at Shampoo, who bowed.

"Neiho sensai Kyo" said Shampoo politly. "Shampoo, thank god you came, maybe you can save Ryo" Kyo said with abit of relief coming over him. "Shampoo will help love" the girl replied carrying Ryo upstairs to the room Ranma mentioned on the way home.

"Dad I got reason to believe someone told Kuno about what happened 5 years ago, if i find out who... they'll be sorry" Ranma said with hurt in his voice. "Well it wasen't me cause I don't even like Kuno, and I already made my peace with Ryo last night... oh no" Akane said in fear as she looked at her sister Nabiki, who had her head down. Akane backed away in shock. Ranma was glaring angry looks at Nabiki. "Nabiki... why, how could you, have you no heart?" Ranma asked the middle aged sister.

"He paid me a lot alright, I'm not made of stone you know, I needed the money to keep this place going" she replied. "YOU SOLD OUT INFO ON MY BROTHER, JUST FOR MONEY, MY BROTHER MIGHT BE DEAD, BECAUSE OF YOU, IF ANYONE DOESN'T HAVE A HEART IT'S YOU, I SWARE IF HE DIES, I'LL..." Ranma cried in anger as Kyo stopped him. "Son that's enough, your big borther isn't gonna die" Kyo said in a soothing voice... Soun looked at his daughter with a strict look on his face.

"Nabiki, I know you're trying to save our home, but you almost cost my friends son his life, I hate to do this but... you're grounded Nabiki, for a month, now go to your room, til supper's ready.". Nabiki trying not to cry ran to her room. Soun looked over at his friend and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Kyo my friend I'm sorry for what my daughter has caused, to your son, I will pray for his recovery" Soun then went to the dojo to prey.

Upstairs Shampoo was whipping up a medical remedy for Ryo, to help him recover. Moments after mixing the remedy, she gave it to Ryo which was starting to take affect... Akane came in followed by Ranma as they joined Shampoo by Ryos bed.

"How is he Shampoo, is he gonna be alright?" Ranma asked in a sad voice. Shampoo nodded. "Yes Ryo be fine soon, lost lots of energy, during fight, so Shampoo whip up medical remedy for Ryo and gave him.".

"I'm sorry Shampoo, about what..." was all Akane could say as Shampoo shook her head. "You not know, you no be sorry for what happened back there." Ryo shot out a low moan, which didn't go unnoticed. "Look he's coming to" Ranma said with a joyful expression. The trio looked at Ryo who had his eyes opened only part... he drew a small smile.

"Hey you guys... what happed?" Ryo moaned. Akane stood up and looked at Ranma. "Hey Ranma lets leave them alone for abit besides I gotta ask a favor of you." she said in a gentle voice. Ranma nodded and left with Akane.

"Ryo member me?" Shampoo asked slightly teary eyed. Ryo gave a weak nodd. "Hey Shampoo, I'm happy to see you again, been along time." Ryo moaned. Shampoo cupped her hands onto Ryos right hand and nodded with tears in her eyes. "Yes, it has been long time love, Great Grandmother let me come here, as to earlier, you lost consiciousness after, you fought Kendo goofball and put him in hospital".

Ryo drew a sad frown and looked away from Shampoo. "So that's what happened" with those words said Ryo closed his eyes, sleep coming over him. Shampoo gently stroked Ryos hair, gave him a kiss on the forehead and climbed into bed with him, laying her head on his chest. "Sleep tight love." Shampoo gave Ryo one last kiss on the cheek before going to sleep.

In Akanes room

"So what's the favor Akane?" Ranma asked sitting on Akanes window. Akane twiddled her thumbs, nervously then spoke. "Um... I was wondering, if um... er well, if you could teach me how to weild the Magtama flame?" she asked, rather nervously. Ranma shook his head. "I'm sorry Akane what you ask is impossiable" he replied, in a soft voice. Akane looked up. "Why not?" she asked confused.

"Only those who have the blood of a kusanagi can weild the flame, Shampoo, has part of the flame in her, when Ryo found her, the only way to save her was via blood transfusion, but you don't have any of our blood in you, so if I were to teach you to use our flame, you wouldn't beable to control it, and eventually it'll consume you..." Ranma replied. Akane looked disappointed and twiddled her foot around. "However?" Ranma said as Akane looked up with hope. "There's a friend of my fathers who lives here in Nerima, she'll teach you a lot." Ranma smiled

An hour later

"Well here we are..." said Ranma, as he and Akane stood at a huge mansion in Nerima. "Who lives here Ranma?" Akane asked admiring the mansions outside. "My dads friend , she's a singer and well known all across the world... HEY ATHENA" Ranma shouted. Within minutes a beautiful 29 year old woman with shoulder length purple hair woman, wearing a blue t-shirt, and black spandex shorts, came running out of the mansion and quickly smuthered Ranma in a hug.

"Ranma... it's great to see you again." Athena chirped, while still trapping Ranma in a fierce hug. "Athena , can't... breathe" Ranma got out. Athena quickly released her grip and bowed in apology. "Oh Sorry Ranma, it's just that it's been 5 years since you, Ryo and your father came to our masters home in China... oh who's this you brought with you... your girlfriend?" Athena asked slyly. Akane blushed while Ranma shook his head. "She's not my girlfriend Athena, she's a friend me, Ryo and dad are staying with... her name's Akane Tendo, I was hoping you could teach her, your style?" Ranma asked politly. Athena giggled and nodded. "Sure anything for Kyos son... tell me how are Ryo and your dad?" Athena asked.

Ranma and Akanes expression turned from calm to saddness, which worried Athena. "Ryo, lost consicious... right now he's slowly recovering lots of lost energy, he had after snapping earlier at school..." Ranma was now deeply shaking. "It was horriable Athena... Ryo was like Iori when he was in the riot of blood... it was frightening , I didn't sense it in him though" .

Athena was needless to say shocked beyond reality. "Oh Ryo... how's your dad holding out now?" she asked deeply worried. "Dad's trying to keep calm... I don't know how long it'll be before Ryo's fully recovered, could be a day, week, I don't know... curse Nabiki, no offense but your sister went too far" Ranma said in a harsh voice. Akane hung her head down in shame, a small tear threatening to fall. "I know Ranma, I'm not asking you to forgive her, all I can do is hope Ryo will be alright" .

"All we can do is wait and see what develops Ranma, Ryo isn't one to give up so easily, he'll fight to stay alive. Anyway today isn't a good day to start your lessons Akane, come by tomorrow afterschool we'll start then... oh and Ranma... Andy and Mai are also living in Nerima not far from here you should go and see them tomorrow maybe, right now you need to be by your brothers side" Athena stated. Ranma nodded, and left after he and Akane said bye to Athena.

Nabiki was in her room observing her security monitors, through the hidden cameras she had placed in the house, cept the washroom, and was looking in the guest room were Ryo and Shampoo were soundly asleep... she had a sad look to her face as she watched Ryo... and kept replaying was said earlier.

"YOU SOLD MY BROTHERS INFO FOR MONEY, YOU HEARTLESS WITCH, MY BROTHER MIGHT DIE CAUSE OF YOU, DIE CAUSE OF YOU"

Nabiki shook the flashback out of her head and then sheeded a small tear. "Ryo I'm sorry" she said in a low wisper.

It was halfway into supper as everyone cept Ryo and Shampoo were eating, Ranma wasen't even looking at Nabiki as he was still pissed off with her for her part in Ryos madness at school earlier, then all of a sudden.

"RYO HA HA". Everyone rushed upstairs and to the guest room to see Ryo sitting up and in Shampoos embrace, his smile was faint, but noticable, and his eyes partly opened, a small tear formed in his eyes. "Son..., Ryo" came Kyo and Ranmas voices as they embraced Ryo. "Hey... c'mon I just... woke up." Ryo moaned, causing Ranma and Kyo to let go.

"How ya feeling son?" Kyo asked in a sincere voice. Ryo looked up at his father with a small smile. "I'm feeling a lot better now, be a bit longer before I can fully use my ki again, thanks Shampoo, you saved my life like I saved yours" Ryo said looking at his girlfriend. Shampoo gave a cheerful smile. "Shampoo wanted to help, no want to lose love, Shampoo be crushed, oh almost forgot, great grandmother coming in couple of days, wish to see you, not know why" she said.

"Well guess we'll have to wait and see what she wants... ugh... I had the weirdest dream... I felt like I was posessed, by... Orochi, he said he's coming back soon and so are the trio" Ryo said in a sad yet serious tone. Kyos eyes snapped wide opened in shock. "The blood riot... that's can't be... Orochi was sealed away back in 97 after the tournament... Ryo... how was Orochi able to posess you.. you don't have Orochis blood in you?" Kyo spoke rather seriously. Ryo shook his head in confusion. "I... I don't know".

"We ask great grandmother when she come she know" Shampoo stated. Everyone agreed and left it at that. Nabiki stepped forward, her head hung low. "Ryo I um... I was the one who told Kuno about what..." was all she could say as Ryo cut her off. "It's in the past Nabiki, forget about it, just... don't make it a habit" Ryo said with a slight smile. Nabiki smiled and nodded. "Deal" she said in a cheerful voice.
