The Demon Incarnate
Chapter 2 : Naraku's Son?
"Your father?" Inuyasha asked. He was confused. If this Ranma was looking for his father, then why did he interfere with his fight? Inuyasha shook his head and got back to the real problem at hand.
"If you're looking for your father, then why did you interfere? I was just about to kill Naraku." Inuyasha stated irritably. Ranma blinked twice.
"You fool, Naraku IS my father." Ranma said coldly. Inuyasha took a few moments to process this. A few seconds later, Inuyasha's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates.
"T-That's I-impossible!" Inuyasha shouted out, his voice stuttering. Then he realized something.
"Hey! You're trying to stop me from killing Naraku aren't you?"
"My aren't you the smart one." Ranma stated sarcastically. Inuyasha's blood boiled.
"No Way! No way am I gonna stand by and let you save Naraku, If you get in my way, then I'll kill you along with him!" Inuyasha shouted out as he prepared his tetsusaiga. Ranma just chuckled.
"You moron, I'm not here to save the miserable fool, I'm here to kill him!" Ranma said in a matter-in-fact like voice, before his chest protruded three hideous tentacles, all covered in blood. Ranma gasped loudly. Behind him, a loud, evil voice laughed.
"My son eh? Yes, now I remember, you're the son of the red-haired slut, Nodoka. Back when I was accidentally transported to the present era, a fat man named Genma and a woman named Nodoka found me lying in the street, as I was weak from my recent fight with Sessomaru. They were indeed kind, but in the end, I killed that fat bastard and raped his wife. What fools." Naraku stated as he wrapped Ranma's whole body with his tentacles, absorbing his life energy.
"I can see my genes have been passed down to you, good, I need some energy for myself." Naraku said, as he laughed evilly. Suddenly he heard loud gurgling noises coming from inside where Ranma currently resided.
(BOOM)
(SPLOOSH!)
Naraku winced as a bright light soon filled his vision. He then felt someone grabbing a hold of his throat. Naraku himself was fairly strong, perhaps even more strong then Sessomaru and Inuyasha combined, but this strength outmatched even his own. He found himself having trouble breathing, his regenerated tentacles not responding to his commands. He opened his eyes to find Ranma, with a firm grip on his throat, looking at him with an emotionless gaze, a 20 foot black aura surrounding him. Naraku found himself sweating suddenly. He then heard Ranma growling.
"Do you really think I'd surrender to your overgrown worms? I have been training for this very moment, and now it has come. Prepare to feel the sweet taste of-" Ranma was suddenly cut off as a yellowish beam of ki hit his back, making him crash through several trees. Naraku landed back on the floor, coughing, as his tentacles suddenly came back to life.
'Now's my chance to escape' Naraku thought, as suddenly jumped up and vanished into thin air. Inuyasha ran to where Naraku was before he disappeared, and growled in frustration.
"Damn! I almost had him! If only that man didn't get in the fucking way!" Inuyasha said, as he sheathed his sword back where it belonged. Suddenly, Inuyasha tilted his head to where he blasted Ranma. He shivered as he suddenly felt the temperature around him getting colder, if the ground turning into ice was any sign. All of a sudden, a black blur came charging at him, succeeding in tackling him to the floor. Inuyasha breathed loudly for air, as the oxygen was pushed out of his lungs. He pushed the thing off of him, and watched as the figure revealed itself to be Ranma, his clothes tattered. Ranma had an angry scowl on his face.
"You will pay for letting father go!" Ranma shouted towards Inuyasha. Inuyasha winced as he tried to get up.
'That was some tackle, I can even feel my body shaking from the impact' Inuyasha thought. He then got up, his legs wobbly.
"Oh yeah? Well bring it on! I'm sure to be more then a challenge for a punk like you!" Inuyasha shouted out confidently, but inside, he wasn't so sure. Ranma then sighed, closed his eyes, and breathed in a large breath of air. He then opened his eyes, as his cold façade suddenly resurfaced.
"You want to fight, You got one." Ranma said in a quiet voice. Inuyasha growled. He then jumped 100 meters away from Ranma.
'I'll show this arrogant punk!' Inuyasha thought, as he unsheathed his tetsusaiga, it once again turning into the large fang that once belonged to that of his father. He charged towards Ranma at inhuman speeds, zigzagging, trying to confuse his opponent.
'I'll be done in ten seconds flat' Inuyasha thought confidently, as he raised his tetsusaiga to strike Ranma.
(Slish!)
Inuyasha stared incredulously as Ranma held Inuyasha's blade in between his palms. And before he even realized it, Ranma kicked him hard in the stomach, causing Inuyasha to bow low from the pain, and was suddenly kneed in the face, and from the force of the impact, pushed Inuyasha 10 feet in the air, the tetsusaiga released from his grip. Inuyasha found himself practically flying in the air, he himself barely conscious from the vicious blow to the head. Ranma was suddenly 5 feet in the air above him. He then saw Ranma extend both of his hands and heard him whisper in a low voice, "HellFire Wave."
A wavy reddish-black beam of ki came at lightspeed towards Inuyasha. Inuyasha tried to move his body, but to no avail as he was suddenly hit by the blast from Ranma. He crashed down into the ground, while the ki wave was still hitting him. The blast then stopped 10 seconds later, a 15 foot crater visible in the ground, a blackened figure in the crater. Ranma landed softly on the ground next to the crater, then he visibly snorted.
"What a weakling, even that old witch, Ku Lon lasted longer then this." Ranma said as he walked away from the horrid scene. Kagome, and the rest of the gang came running towards the recent battle field, Miroku was currently on-top of Sango's back.
"Inuyasha? Are you ok? I saw the whole thing! It's a good thing he didn't kill you!" Kagome said worriedly. Shippo just snorted.
"Bout time that ego of his was dropped down a notch, another add-on and his head would've been seen floating in the clouds." Shippo said, not caring at all how Inuyasha was feeling. He was then hit on the head by a rock that suddenly appeared from inside the crater. Inuyasha then came crawling out of the crater, his clothes blackened, and his face covered in dried blood.
"Just shut up Shippo, I just underestimated him is all." Inuyasha said, trying to regain whatever dignity he had left. He then heard Miroku moan.
"Hey, is Miroku ok? He looks pretty messed up." Inuyasha asked. Then Sango suddenly gasped. Everyone looked in her direction and looked as a blackened hand grabbed a hold of one of her breasts. Sango then threw Miroku on the ground as a loud 'OOF!' was heard. He then saw Miroku raise a wobbly hand.
"I'll be fine Inuyasha." Miroku said. Everyone sweatdropped. Inuyasha then felt a slight stinging sensation on his collarbone. He looked down as he saw Miyoga helping himself to another helping of 'His Master's' blood. Inuyasha just twitched as he suddenly flicked the flea demon off his shoulder. A held back scream was heard as Myoga slowly descended to the ground below. A small puff of smoke was seen as Myoga landed in a small patch of dirt. He then jumped up and landed next to Inuyasha and cleared his throat.
"Sorry Master Inuyasha, I couldn't help myself." Myoga said. Everyone sweatdropped.
"You always use that excuse Myoga! I should just squish you where you stand!" Inuyasha said angrily. Myoga's face suddenly got serious.
"We don't have time for that now Master Inuyasha, the real question right now is who is that man?" Myoga said. Inuyasha came into realization.
"You're right, that guy was strong for sure." Inuyasha admitted. Myoga just nodded.
"Yes, you are indeed correct. He seems to have easily overcome Naraku and was about to kill him before you interfered." Myoga said in a matter-in-factly voice, before he was suddenly crushed under Inuyasha's foot.
"Are you saying I'm weak?" Inuyasha asked angrily, as he raised his foot. Myoga coughed, taking in a few breaths of air before speaking.
"I am just saying that that man is very strong. He is indeed a being to watch out for in the future." Myoga said
"But who is he?" Kagome asked. Suddenly a loud voice rang throughout where they stood.
"WHERE AM I?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw what appeared to be a young man. He seemed to be about 5'7, wearing worn-out black pants, with a dirty yellow shirt. He had a black and yellow bandanna tied around his short, black hair. He carried what appeared to be an enormous backpack with an unusually large, red umbrella protruding from the opening. He seemed to be looking for someone.
"Um excuse me, do you need some help?" Kagome asked the stranger. The young man was snapped out of his stupor as he tilted his head forward to see Kagome. He then stopped in his tracks and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"Um yeah, my name is Ryoga and I'm looking for someone." Ryoga said.
"Oh, I think we can help you, my name is Kagome, the white haired man in the red kimono on my left is Inuyasha, the woman with the large boomerang on her back on my right in Sango, the man on the ground behind me is Miroku, and this cute little guy in my arms is Shippo!" Kagome said whiletickling under Shippo's chin, as the little fox demon giggled.Ryoga just sweatdropped.
"Um, ok, well I'm looking for a man that's about 5'9, has black hair in a ponytail, wears black Chinese clothes, and carries a sort of cold look on his face. Have you seen him?" Ryoga asked, obviously not noticing the open-jawed look on the group's faces. Sango was the first to say something.
"D-Do you know him?" Sango asked. Ryoga eyes opened in delight.
"So you have seen him!" Ryoga answered happily, then grimaced.
"That explains the mess." Ryoga chuckled.
"So do you know him or do you not know him?" Inuyasha asked, being his usual tactless self. Ryoga looked at Inuyasha, then sighed as he leaned back on a tree nearby.
"Know him? I practically grew up with him." Ryoga answered, as he waved his hand towards the group, signaling them to crowd around him.
"It all happenedabout 17 years ago…."
TBC.
Well that's the end. Next chapter will explain all about Ranma's childhood and how he became so friendly with Ryoga. This takes place after the second movie. Naraku was found alive 3 weeks later after the battle with Sakuya, weakened a bit. In this fanfic, Ranma will be 10 times more stronger then he ever was, meaning there will be nothing of challenge in the feudal era. Ranma is not necessarily a bad guy but not a good guy either.
